Wal-Mart greeter earns acclaim on global stage

BAIRD

BY RACHEL STERN

Accused murderers in court

THE NEWS BULLETIN

Two Nanaimo men charged with the murder of Brittany Baird are in court next week for a preliminary inquiry hearing. Christopher James Robinson and Marcus Brandon Parry were charged with seconddegree murder several days after Baird was found dead on Milford Crescent near Selby Street in May 2011. Both men remain in custody. T he preliminary inquiry, which will deter mine if the Crown has enough evidence to justify a trial, is scheduled for seven days in June, be ginning Monday and wrapping up by June 29. “We anticipate it will take the full time period,” said Crown counsel Frank Dubenski, adding the Crown is calling about 20 witnesses to testify at the preliminary inquiry. Baird, 22, was found dead late in the evening May 25 by emergency crews after a series of 911 calls. Efforts to revive her failed. At the time, police said Baird’s injuries resulted from a weapon, but police did not reveal the type of weapon used or cause of death.

to upgrade to LED lighting systems. Diane Brennan, a Nanaimo city councillor and deputy chairwoman of the Regional District of Nanaimo board, said Woodgrove’s water-saving initiative reminds the community about the importance of capturing water – while the area does get a lot of rain, there are also periods of drought. “It’s an example of leadership on the part of a commercial member of the community,” she said. Brennan said the RDN provides rebates for eco-friendly upgrades, including a grant of up to $750 to homeowners who install rainwater collection systems. Christina Metherall, drinking water and watershed protection coordinator for the RDN, said the systems cost on average between $1,000 and $1,400 and so far about $18,000 of the $30,000 set aside for the program, which began May 1, was already handed out. For more information and a list of the RDN’s incentive programs and rebates, please go to www.rdn.bc.ca.

Kerfoot was recognized last week with the company’s Wal-Mart International Associate of the Year Award. The recognition comes on the heels of winning Wal-Mart’s national Shining Star award in February. “It’s mind-blowing,” said Kerfoot. “I have a job where I get to be me, contributing to an amazing team. I didn’t accomplish this on my own, I had management that gave me an opportunity to be part of this.” Kerfoot received the award May 30 during Wal-Mart’s RACHEL STERN/NEWS BULLETIN International Tim Kerfoot, Nanaimo Associates’ ConWal-Mart greeter, shows ference in Fayettehis international award. ville, Ark. He’s becoming a store celebrity. Even as he sits during his morning shift Thursday, customers who heard the news continually congratulate him on his recognition. Gerhard Bosman, the store’s people manager, said it’s amazing that Kerfoot was singled out from about 2.2 million Wal-Mart associates worldwide. “He is exceptionally good at what he does,” he said. “The example he sets in this store is positive-plus. It’s positive to the extreme.” Bosman said Kerfoot’s attitude rubs off on other staff members. Winning the award has strengthened Kerfoot’s hope that he will climb to the top of Mount Benson this year and replace a piece of rock his friends took. They issued a challenge for him to put the rock back as motivation after Kerfoot suffered an accident in 2001 during a slo-pitch game. When he dove to catch a ball, weakened blood vessels in the left part of his brain burst, making his right side numb. He spent five nights in a coma and now uses a wheelchair.

Woodgrove Centre adds rainwater conservation BY JENN McGARRIGLE THE NEWS BULLETIN

A new sustainability initiative has surfaced at Woodgrove Centre. The mall recently installed a rainwater harvesting system that holds up to 9,000 litres of water collected from a portion of the centre’s roof. The rainwater will be used for shrub irrigation and an on-site car washing service. “Over the year, we’re going to save substantial amounts of water,” said Mark Fenwick, Woodgrove general manager. “We’re not really doing this to save money, it’s more about the environment.” Last year, the centre won an internal competition among Ivanhoe Cambridge malls and received $90,000 for sustainability initiatives. The rainwater harvesting system, which filters the water at three different stages and includes an extensive piping system, overflow pipe, sump pump and UV system used to kill bacteria in the water, cost about $28,000, said Fenwick. “It’s more than just a bucket collecting water,” he said.

Rod Mayo, the centre’s operations manager, said the water comes from five three-inch drains covering about 232 square metres of the mall’s flat roof. Despite the small space covered – the centre has more than 65,000 square metres of roof – it’s estimated the tank will be filled at least 25 times throughout the year. There is no major payback on the project, as water is so inexpensive, said Mayo – the system is more to show the public what can be done. Mayo said the tank could serve most if not all of the centre’s irrigation needs as well as the car wash service because the car wash only uses about five litres of water per car and the centre has reduced its irrigation program. “We’ve now learned to accept yellow grass in the summer,” he said. Mayo said other initiatives that the centre has undertaken with the $90,000 include replacing 13-litre toilets with 4.8-litre toilets, lighting control upgrades, some public awareness signage and offsetting the costs for two tenants

RDN looking into compost complaint LANTZVILLE RESIDENTS trying to get regional bylaw on transport of organic material enforced.

BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN

Taking grass clippings to a neighbourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yard to compost could be considered illegal dumping and result in fines of up to $200,000. Dennis Trudeau, Regional District of Nanaimo general manager, transportation and solid waste, said people can compost materials generated on their property, but once itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taken offsite, it must go to a properly licensed facility or a location with a valid permit. Yard, garden and kitchen waste all fall under the municipal waste category once it leaves a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property. The regulations are enforceable under an RDN bylaw that governs the management of municipal solid waste and recyclable materials; however, Trudeau said he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recall the bylaw being applied in this manner previously. But three residents in Lantzville are hoping to have action taken against Compassion Farm in Lantzville, owned by Dirk Becker and Nicole Shaw, under the bylaw. In a letter to the RDN signed by Jim and Valeen Brash and Marian Klassen, dated May 17, the neighbours

say they are concerned material brought onto Beckerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property creates environmental and health concerns which they allege the District of Lantzville refuses to address. The municipality has attempted to deal with concerns connected to urban agriculture since concerns arose in the fall of 2010. In January, Becker and Shaw signed a letter of agreement with the District of Lantzville to stop bringing manure onto the property. The district also created an urban food bylaw that was later abandoned in favour of creating a soil deposit and removal bylaw. â&#x20AC;&#x153;T he District of Lantzville, in all fairness, needs to be given adequate time to address this,â&#x20AC;? said J a m i e Wa l l a c e, a spokesman for Friends of Urban Agriculture Lantzville, a group formed in response to the issue. He questions how bringing a wheelbarrow of grass clippings to a neighbourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house to be composted can be classified as illegal dumping. The complaint letter states that for years, the Compassion Farm property has been a dumping ground for raw manure and other compostables that create an eyesore, generate

objectionable odours and are kept in close proximity to domestic wells. Becker said the farm had three visits from the Vancouver Island Health Authority to deter mine if material had any potential impact on drinking water in the area. VIHA determined that the garden operation wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t impacting shallow groundwater and infor mation from a neighbourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deep well indicated there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an impact on deep groundwater. Becker said the bylaw should be changed, especially since it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to fit with the RDNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s zero waste and sustainability mandate thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been developing over the last few years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I insist that it is changed,â&#x20AC;? said Becker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do we want people to farm and produce food on Vancouver Island? Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work together to

find ways to encourage and support and protect someone that works hard for so little pay.â&#x20AC;? He said he could go to a store and load a semi-truck with bags of fertilizer and soil and bring them to his property and there wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a problem. But composting materials to create nutrient-rich soil for growing produce is essential for farmers who want to grow food organically. Urban far ming is becoming a global movement and there needs to be more measures in place that encourage, allow and protect people wanting to grow food, said Becker. What the issue boils down to is cultural differences, he added. Wallace agrees, adding itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a growing clash of philosophies between people who want a separation of the workplace and home, and

those who see growing food in urban areas as the direction culture is evolving. Trudeau said there is no timeline as to how long investigation into the complaint will take. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just got the complaint and are looking at the facts and process on how we would need to deal with it,â&#x20AC;? he said. The Brashes refused to comment and calls to Klassen and Lantzville Mayor Jack de Jong were not returned by press time.

The B.C. government has changed regulations that required golf course beverage carts to be covered by an ICBC insurance policy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Carrying double coverage for liability wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enhancing safety for golf course members and guests,â&#x20AC;? said Douglas Ferne of the National Golf Course Owners Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In fact, it was just creating more work and cost for golf courses, with no real benefits.â&#x20AC;? The change also relieves miniature cars such as those used in parades, as well as industrial utility vehicles that are only driven briefly to cross roads or get to a worksite. The new regulations require owners to have private third-party liability insurance. In 2011 the B.C. government created similar exemptions for golf carts and mobile equipment such as personal lifts and powered wheelbarrows.

Ottawa updates 1928 wine restriction Victim remembered ARCHAIC LEGISLATION kept people from buying wine across provincial borders.

BY TOM FLETCHER BLACK PRESS

The federal government is finally moving to modernize its alcohol transportation rules, amending a 1928 law that prevents people from buying wine across provincial borders. The House of Commons has unanimously supported a private members’ bill from Okanagan-Coquihalla MP Dan Albas that provides for a personal exemption from a law created during the Prohibition era to stop smuggling and tax evasion. The wine industry and B.C. politicians have argued that individuals should be able to buy or order a case of wine they enjoyed while on vacation. The bill still has to pass the Senate. Once

NOTICE OF MEETING JUNE 18, 2012 2011 ANNUAL REPORT Pursuant to Section 94 of the Community Charter, Notice is hereby given that the Council of the City of Nanaimo will consider the 2011 Annual Report as part of its regular business at the Committee of the Whole meeting to be held in the Shaw Auditorium, Vancouver Island Conference Centre, 80 Commercial Street, on Monday, June 18th, 2012 at 4:30 pm. Some of the topics included in the report are: a) Highlights of Financial Information b) Municipal Services and Operations c) Municipal Objectives and Performance Indicators

the federal law is changed, provinces would need to establish a personal exemption to allow personal purchase and shipment of alcoholic beverages across provincial borders. The B.C. government announced Thursday its own provincial tax exemptions for alcoholic beverages brought into the province for personal use. B.C. residents can now bring back up to one standard case of wine (nine litres), four bottles of spirits (three litres) and a combined total of six dozen beer, cider and coolers (25.6 litres) from each trip to another province, without paying B.C. tax on it. Those limits are similar to those permitted by Ontario, Nova Scotia and Yukon and are among the highest in Canada, said Rich Coleman, minister responsible for B.C. liquor and gambling policy. He added that the federal change will particularly help B.C. and Ontario, which have well-developed wine industries. Canada’s archaic wine laws have long been a target of industry and politicians. Premier Christy Clark, former premier Gordon Campbell and B.C. NDP leader Adrian Dix have all campaigned for the federal change. In May 2011, broadcaster Terry David Mulligan took up the cause. He notified police and liquor control officials before carrying a case each of B.C. and Ontario wine in the trunk of his car from Penticton into Alberta, hoping to be charged under the 1928 law.

for upbeat nature ◆ From /1 The two talked on the phone shortly beforehand. “Probably an hour before the incident happened we talked and he was talking about how happy he was there and how lucky we were to have this opportunity in the summer to make some money and have another great rugby family to be a part of,” Milford said. “It was about 1 a.m. when we talked on the phone last, so that was pretty hard to take.” Milford described Gregg as someone who never let life get him down, was consistently happy, loved to party and the kind of guy who took care of people around him, regularly hiring team members who needed

work and bought the beer when friends were low on cash. “Whenever there was fun around our club, Gabe was there. He was kind of the ringleader for that kind of stuff,” Milford said. Members of Gregg’s f amily r ushed to Edmonton to be at his side and say their goodbyes when life support was discontinued. Gregg was an organ donor. Seven of his organs were given to six people awaiting transplants. “If you have to see some sort of a silver lining it’s pretty nice that, in his passing, he could help six families,” said John Hanson, Nanaimo Hornets past president. In Gregg’s honour, Nanaimo Hor nets Club’s refrigerator

was stocked with nothing but Lucky lager – his favourite beer – for the team’s social night Thursday. Gregg was also a member of the Young Professionals of Nanaimo and volunteered his carpentry skills to building the organization’s community gardens. He is described on the organization’s website as someone who was always there when a helping hand was needed, with an upbeat personality and one-of-a-kind voice who will be missed by many. Milford has written an article about Gregg that also chronicles the alleged circumstances of his death for B.C. Rugby News. It can be viewed at www.bcrugbynews. com. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

PHOTOS COURTESY CITY OF NANAIMO

Buildings on the Community Heritage Register include the residence at 102 Fry St., left, the Great National Land Building on Church Street, centre, and the original courthouse building on Front Street.

List important, but not protective ◆ From /1 One of the more interesting residences on the list is the Woodward/Harrison residence at 215 Newcastle Ave. Built in 1900, the house was built by Hiram Woodward and sold to Victor Harrison in the 1930s. Harrison was a lawyer and also served as mayor from 1925-26 and 1938-44. He helped create Petroglyph Provincial Park, was involved in preserving the Bastion, and also played a key role in bringing the notorious cult leader Brother XII to trial. ◆ Unfortunately, some buildings were gone before they could be saved or restored. The city’s original post office at 60 Front Street, where the federal building is now, featured architecture similar to the courthouse with stonework and sweeping arches. It was originally built in 1884 and demolished in the 1950s in favour of the current building, designed by architect E.A. Gardner. The original post office’s clock, often called Big Frank, now resides in the spire at St. Peter’s Roman Catholic Church on Machleary Street. Also gone is the Nanaimo Opera House, a three-storey classic Victorian building built in 1889 that had a hotel on the top two floors and the opera house on the lower floor. It also housed the Nanaimo Brewing Company, whose owner, John Mahrer, built it. Mahrer was also an alderman. “It was torn down in 1941, but the back wall is still there,” said David Hill-Turner, curator of the Nanaimo Museum. “But it had gas lights, five backdrop screens that could be interchanged produced by a big company in Chicago, it sat 750-800 people with lodges, it had an orchestra pit, and was built for $40,000. It hosted some of the largest productions that visited the coast, including the New York Metropolitan Opera.” The Best Western Dorchester Hotel now sits on the opera house site, and the hotel has a banquet room called the Opera Room as a nod to the past. ◆ To be on the register, a place or site must first be nominated, either by a member of the public or through the Nanaimo Community Heritage Commission. It is considered for architectural uniqueness or importance, cultural history or importance, and the integrity of the building. If it passes the points test, the commission then recommends an inclusion for council’s consideration. Most years, five to 10 buildings are considered. Once on the register, building owners are provided with incentives to keep the structure as close to historical authenticity as possible. The Downtown Residential Conversion Tax Exemption program has two main goals – one is to encourage new downtown residential units in existing heritage buildings while the other is to preserve heritage buildings in the downtown core.

Quickfacts Core properties on the register: ◆ Nanaimo Bastion at 98 Front St. ◆ Great National Land Building at 5-17 Church St. ◆ Gusola Block at 120 Commercial St. ◆ E&N Train Station at 321 Selby St.

Recent additions to the register: ◆ Nanaimo Centennial Museum at 100 Cameron Rd. ◆ Italian Fountain at 626 Terminal Ave. ◆ ‘Fernville’, the Land Residence at 167 Irwin St.

Properties at risk of being removed from register: ◆ Manson’s Store and house at 236-240 Haliburton St. ◆ Woodward/Harrison residence at 215 Newcastle Ave. ◆ Harewood School at 505 Howard Ave.

The Heritage Facade Improvement Grant Program was created by the city in 2003 to provide financial incentives for heritage buildings as part of Nanaimo’s downtown revitalization strategy. Cash grants of up to $10,000 per facade facing on to a city street encourages the rehabilitation and enhancement of heritage buildings located in the city’s core. Homeowners can apply for up to $2,500 in grants to help preserve and maintain their historic houses. To date, the city has paid out $52,272 in heritage home grants with $277,838 in private investment. More than $264,169 has been distributed through heritage facade grants with $2.26 million in private investment. However, sometimes the home grant isn’t enough to keep owners from modernizing, either for improved

efficiency or for resale, and that has some residents worried. Heather Cooper, a resident in Nanaimo’s Old City neighbourhood, is concerned some heritage homes might have to come off the list because they no longer feature the historical architecture that put them there. “There’s at least one house that has been updated and no longer has any of the criteria they have listed and that’s, in my opinion, a bit of a problem because there are only so many heritage homes in this town,” said Cooper. “To have to take one off the registry is kind of sad.” ◆ Recently, Nanaimo council gave the Old City neighbourhood some help in protecting its heritage values. To guard against demolition of historic homes, it won’t allow duplexes to be built on the neighbourhood’s 16 corner lots, often large lots that feature some of the community’s most significantly historic residences. Sholberg said it’s always a balancing act to retain significant dwellings on the register. Some houses are removed from the register due to neglect, while others are removed because updates eliminated the architectural significance. “A large renovation can seriously jeopardize the heritage value of a building,” said Sholberg. “And it’s the same if it’s neglected, like half burnt out, for example. We tend to leave a property on in that situation because there is always the possibility of redemption for the property. Some simply can’t be redeemed.” Sholberg uses the E&N Train Station on Selby Street as an example of reclaimed heritage, as well as the Nanaimo Centennial Museum, which was considered by council for demolition but ultimately saved because of public support. It now houses the Vancouver Island Military Museum. “I always say there is nothing worse than an old, unoccupied heritage building,” added Sholberg. “If there is no use for it it is really hard to argue why that building should be preserved. The city sees it as a liability and an expense, but it’s always good to see them used and appreciated, like in the case of the museum.” Nanaimo started to lean toward preserving its heritage buildings in the 1970s, though it was mostly carried out by citizen historical groups then. In 2001, city council adopted the Heritage Action Plan, which took heritage conservation into municipal powers and systems. It created formal funding and the Nanaimo Community Heritage Commission, which consists of six at-large members, and one representative from the Nanaimo Museum, Nanaimo Archives, Snuneymuxw First Nation and a member of council.

EDITORIAL

Queen’s reign offers stabilityy With the world in financial turmoil and people looking for some stability, Queen Elizabeth II is as good a person to look to as anyone. Not just for the Commonwealth countries over which she symbolically rules, but as a global picture of modest leadership. Recent polls show support for maintaining Canada’s ties to the monarchy are on the upswing among English-speaking Canadians. Part of that trend is likely due to last year’s royal wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton. But large kudos have to be given to William’s grandmother, who has traditionally held her own in polls when it comes to popularity or respect, regardless of the general feeling about the monarchy. In the 60 years since her coronation, Queen Elizabeth has quietly done her job as the head of state, sparking little controversy and avoiding interference in political matters, especially those of countries other than Britain. It seems those in Canada who argue against keeping our connection to the monarchy have more concern over what might happen if Prince Charles were to become king, which he is in line to become once his mother dies or steps down from her duties. For now, the Queen, 86, shows few signs of slowing down, especially as she heartily celebrates the start of her seventh decade on the throne with a series of celebrations at home and abroad. To be sure, the future of the monarchy as it relates to Canada will one day require more serious discussions than relying on poll results. But with the Canadian public remaining as enthralled with the Royal Family as any other type of international celebrities, our links to the Queen and the Crown appear firmly entrenched. As we muddle our way through tough times, that’s comforting to know.

New walkway on waterfront expensive, unnecessary To the Editor, Joni Mitchell wrote, “They paved paradise/And put up a parking lot”. It seems that some in city hall want to do just that when it comes to Departure Bay. Departure Bay is unique in this city. Mostly natural, it is a swimming beach popular with skim boarders, beachcombers, walkers and runners. People come by car, foot, bicycle and boat to picnic at the park, swim, fish and enjoy the view. I live on Battersea Road and appreciate the view, the quiet and all the walkers, runners, kayakers and crabbers who use the waterfront road I live on. A walkway extending from the ferry terminal to the Kin Hut in Departure Bay – an old debate resurrected by city officials recently – would allow me to avoid the steep hill out of Departure Bay when I ride my bicycle to work, but the natural beach as we have it now will be destroyed. A boardwalk built on concrete pilings and overhanging the natural shoreline would cost the taxpayer millions of dollars to build. All this for a few people to walk from downtown to Departure Bay? The city already seems to be a bit short of funds to spend on other projects that would be of better use and is it worth it to destroy a natural coastline, one of the last ones left in Nanaimo? One cannot condone the destruction of the beautiful, natural Departure Bay coastline based on the whim of a few city officials. Gerard St Jean Nanaimo

Marina privatization a bad move To the Editor, Re: Major marina upgrades planned, May 31. The Nanaimo Port Authority is giving a 30-year lease on the city’s marina to a private developer, Pacific Northwest Marina Group. Or to something called Marker Group – partners in the Marina Group with Marinaco Holdings ULC, led by American businessman Craig McCaw. Is that clear? Who will be accountable for their performance in the contract? The plan is to focus on recreational boaters rather than the port’s original use as a dock for commercial fisherman (and recreational boaters). Marina Group is optimistic because 31

vilification, Letters, June 5. I saw Jim Corder’s letter on the protesters in Montreal, and read with amusement, his ideas about the economy and progress. It would be interesting to hear his opinion on the definition of progress. Is progress related to global warming? Maybe he is speaking of the progress being made by the rich, as they gather more and more wealth into fewer hands. Corder doesn’t know much about economics, or the environment, if he believes that developing the tar sands project is anything more than the Conservative government rewarding Stephen Harper’s home turf. If all the benefits, loans, tax cuts and incentives that oil companies, some of the richest companies on Earth, were redirected toward clean energy, we would see progress.

If Corder understood world economics, he would surely know that since the 2008 stock market upheaval, businesses and CEOs have been making more and more money, while the middle class and poor are left behind. The Occupy movement was only incoherent to those people who do not care about fairness and equality. Those who watch a lot of Fox News, deemed the most unreliable, uninformed, and untruthful news in North America, probably agree with this assessment. I am skeptical of people who think it is the government’s job to create jobs. It is the job of government to protect against the tyranny of the majority. The tar sands are a disgraceful waste of taxpayers’ money. Need a job? Make one. G.J. Demmons Nanaimo

Take a mix of soccer and football, add a Frisbee and you have the game of ultimate. Organize the sport into one nationwide, 28-hour marathon, and you have the Art Hawkins Great Canadian Ultimate Game. The third annual Hawkins starts in Yellowknife Friday (June 15) at 7 p.m., crosses the country and winds up 28 hours later in Victoria. Every hour, players in a different city plays for either the Red or the White team. At the end of the hour, the score is passed on to the next city on the schedule, and the game continues where it left off. Last year’s game ended 271 to 269 for the Red team. The game rolls through Nanaimo June 15 with Red and White

taking to Merle Logan Field from 11 p.m. to midnight. Donations for the game are welcome through Ultimate Canada’s website, www. canadianultimate.com – or e-mail Nanaimo Ultimate at nua.info@ gmail.com – in support of charity. This year the Red team represents Ultimate Peace, and the Boys and Girl Club of Canada is the charity of choice for the White team. The winning team’s charity receives 60 per cent of the money raised by the event while the other team’s charity receives 40 per cent. Last year more than $8,000 was raised. “Ultimate Canada is proud to support two great charities that teach youth to take personal responsibility for their actions, exhibit mutual respect towards others and uphold the principle of fair play,” said Danny Saunders, executive director of Ultimate Canada.

Nanaimo’s SUMMER SCHOOL OF THE ARTS

There’s a good chance a carnival will be rolling into town this summer

ffor A Ages 5 to t Ad Adult! lt!

JULY 9TH - 27TH ★ Art ★ Dance ★ Drama ★ Music ★ Weekly Daycamps REGISTRATION ONGOING at www.nanaimoartsalive.com

We are offering over 50 courses for 2012!

Details available on our new website!

Summer courses with Arts Alive Arts Alive was formed 27 years ago by individuals within the City of Nanaimo Parks, Recreation and Culture Department and School District #68 to provide summer school classes in the fine arts in July of each year. Each year, the courses offered evolve to meet different interests, changed demographics and to reflect increased demands on everyone’s time. Arts Alive goes to great lengths to remain relevant, and because of this it is still going strong 12 years into the 21st Century!

This year’s Summer School runs from July 9 to 27, with most classes being held at Wellington Secondary School. Visit their new website, www.nanaimoartsalive. com and take the time to check out the 50+ courses for 2012. You are sure to find many that will reflect your or your children’s interests. Nearly half of this year’s courses are brand new and being offered for the first time. As well, many well-established favourites are returning. There are classes on offer for all age groups, in many different art

forms and of duration from one day to three weeks. For the first time in 2012 there is a selection of one day classes, under the title “Do It For a Day”. These run from 9am to 3pm, and each provides a fun day focusing on a single art form. The popular weeklong daycamps for children aged 5 to 10 are on offer for each of the three weeks of the Summer School. These often book up very fast, so it pays to check them out early.

extracurricular activity Today’s kids are busier than ever before. Commitments in the classroom coupled with a full slate of extracurricular activities have ensured that many of today’s school-aged children don’t have a minute to spare.

While it’s important for kids to embrace extracurricular activities, parents know it’s not always easy helping kids find the right activity that allows them to grow outside the classroom while still focusing on their respon-

sibilities inside it. In addition, kids’ interests tend to change at the drop of a hat, so something they want to do today might bore them come tomorrow. * Don’t overlook the social benefits of ex-

tracurricular activities. Consider those benefits when helping kids choose activities, especially if they’re likely to choose solitary activities like learning a musical instrument. It’s good to encourage such interests, but also

try to encourage a balance between solitary activities and ones that encourage socialization with peers, such as a sports team, debate club or volunteering with other students at a local charity.

* Don’t forget the fun factor. Kids need time to have fun away from school just like adults need time for fun away from the office. Weigh how enjoyable a given activity figures to be for your youngster before signing them up.

summer is the ideal time to plan a getaway. For those who find they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the funds this year, or simply prefer to stay closer to home, there are likely many different local events to enjoy instead. What many people seldom realize is that the warm-weather season is a prime time for local offerings from different organizations in the community -- many of which are low-cost and nearby. Oftentimes, all it takes is thumbing through the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where to Goâ&#x20AC;? section of the newspaper to find a host of different community offerings happening in the weeks to come. Chances are

your neighborhood is hosting one or more of these different types of community events. * Carnival; * Park activities; * Summer camps; * Food festivals; * Concerts; * Breakfasts and brunches; * Street fairs and block parties; and * Tours and parades. There are plenty of enjoyable activities that could be taking place right in your own backyard this summer. Consult the newspaper, online bulletins or a community newsletter to keep abreast of the different events that may be coming your way.

active life Kids have a blast at summer camp BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN

ids looking to have a blast this summer at camp can sign up for four days of wacky fun in July. Participants will experience everything from a World Cup-themed soccer match, to a super hero day of activities to showcase their strengths. The new camp offered this year through the City of Nanaimo’s parks, recreation and culture department, Camp Blasty Blast, is July 3-6, and is for ages nine to 12 years old. The creation of the camp was the result of the collaborative effort of instructors Steph Marriott and Ashley Swistchew. Marriott said the camp, which combines sports and arts, is meant to build self-confidence and help kids tap into their imaginations. A big component to the camp is team building and allowing the kids to form friendships so they emerge from the experience with new skills and friends. “It gets them to interact with kids to be social and builds friends and confidence through sports,” she said. Marriott, who also teaches soccer courses for parks and rec, said the World Cup soccer matches are going to be fun. She’s played soccer for 22 years and has coached the sport for 13 years. “I love soccer because it’s been there to help me build confidence,” she said. “It got me through tough times in my life. That was my remedy for everything.” Marriott said her favourite is teaching

the three-year-olds about the sport. “It’s the most rewarding feeling I can’t describe it,” she said. “They never give up. They work so hard to show you they can do it.” Camp Blasty Blast emphasizes working together as a team. Marriott said no ball hogging is allowed and everyone will play the games. She draws on her soccer background to teach kids some fundamental skills such as dribbling, shooting and basic team play. “It’s going to be a team effort. That’s what we’re trying to achieve so they are leaving as a group of friends,” she said. “It’s not an ‘all me’ thing. It’s just everyone plays and everyone wins.” The camps start with exercise warm ups and games, then participants learn about the art project for the day which they create for the end-of-day team sports event. For the World Cup, kids get to create their costumes for the country they represent. On super hero day they design their capes.

Residents learn about Alzheimers One in three Canadians know someone with Alzheimer’s disease – and the number is projected to skyrocket over the next decade. To help Nanaimo residents better understand the health implications, the Alzheimer Society of B.C. hosts a free workshop Wednesday (June 13) entitled G e t t i n g t o K n ow Dementia. “Participants will receive basic information on dementia and the impact it has on the individual, their care partners, and their suppor t network,” said Tina Biello, the society`s First Link coordinator for Nanaimo and area. A l z h e i m e r ’s d i s ease is one of the most feared disease for Canadians as they age. The workshop provides an opportunity to learn about the diagnosis, different programs and services available in the community, the importance of planning for the future and strategies for living well. People with a diagnosis of dementia, care partners, and family members are all invited to attend. The workshop runs from 10 a.m. to noon at the Alzheimer Society Resource Centre, 200-1585 Bowen Rd. Pre-re gistration is required, by calling 250-734-4171, or e-mailing tbiello@alzheimerbc.org or jhope@ alzheimerbc.org. For more information on dementia, please go to www.alzheimerbc. org.

Retirement requires significant planning Retirement shouldn’t be viewed as the end of a working career but rather as the start of the next phase of life. That’s the perspective of Deborah Bromley, CEO of Nanaimobased ETHOS Career Management Group. “For many people, the transition to retirement is no longer a predictable process at age 65,” she said. Career, life and financial events can all trigger the decision to retire. There is no ‘one path’ that fits all situations. And retirement is more than just financial planning. Money is important, since this life phase can last 30 or more years for some people. But Bromley said it’s just one piece of the puzzle. She advocates personal retirement lifestyle plans – plans that incorporate career and work, physical health and wellness,

family and relationships, mental health and social well-being, and personal development. Retirement can include more leisure time with friends and family, to hobbies and travel, to being financially secure enough to be able to choose whether to work or not. Those thinking of retirement, or in the early stages of retirement, need to have clear goals and a positive attitude toward the future. They also need to take a healthy approach to mental and physical aging, nourishing both the brain and the body. Retirees also need to have a balanced approach to leisure. When you’re employed, leisure time is treasured as there never seems to be enough of it. In retirement, leisure can lose its appeal if it becomes the norm. The key is to find the balance between keeping active and enjoying ‘down time’.

BY HANNAH KING

Our changing – and aging – demographic is a popular topic these days. Statistics and reports are published daily and we are increasingly aware that this shift is going to affect our community. One of the obvious impacts is going to be an increased demand for recreation program services. Fortunately in Nanaimo we are ready to meet that demand as parks, recreation and culture and our partners, the Nanaimo Harbour City Seniors, have

been delivering recreation services for seniors nearly 50 years. Earlier this week we held the annual volunteer appreciation lunch for those who assist with our seniors’ programs. Some volunteers were recognized for serving this community for more than 15 years. In fact, one lady has been volunteering with the seniors’ programs in one capacity or another for 30 years. The volunteers do everything from welcoming new members, setting up for special events,

sharing their passion for their hobby by leading courses and programs, helping prepare tax returns, serving on the Nanaimo Harbour City Seniors’ board and much more. When Bowen Park Complex first opened in 1967, most of the programs offered were geared for seniors and the Bowen Seniors committee was formed. As it does today, the group raised funds for equipment and facility upgrades, as well as acted as a liaison between the community and the department.

Over time the committee’s name changed to Nanaimo Harbour City Seniors to reflect the fact that programs and services for seniors are offered throughout the city at all of the recreation facilities, not just at Bowen Park. Today the membership of the Nanaimo Harbour City Seniors group sits at about 1,500. Working in public recreation, it’s hard to deny the benefits of nurturing an active, aging population within a community. As a demographic, they are a fun group to program for, as they can – and do – tell you what they like and what they don’t. They represent a huge resource of expertise, passion

and energy and are available and willing to support each other and the community at large. Recent examples of this generosity of time and energy are the donation of the hydrorider at Nanaimo Aquatic Centre, and the Wellness Park equipment at Oliver Woods Community Park. There will, of course, be some impacts that challenge our community as this shift continues, but at least we will have some experienced, talented and active community members to guide us through it. ◆ Hannah King is a marketing and communication specialist with Nanaimo parks, recreation and culture.

January 4, 1926 ~ June 3, 2012

With sad hearts we announce the passing of Doug Irvine on June 3, 2012 at the age of 86 years. He slipped away quietly in his sleep after a long struggle with COPD. Doug was born in Toronto and lived there till 1952 before moving to Ottawa for a stint in the RCAF. He followed the ‘directive’ “go west young man” moving the family to several western cities before ﬁnally landing in Nanaimo, where they have spent the past 31 years. Doug is survived by his loving wife, Marie who he wed more than 63 years ago and 6 of their 7 children: Noreen Shelvey (Ron), Jackie Scurrah (Mark), Fran Massey (Doug), Grant Irvine (Diana), Karen Carlsen (Ken), Grahame Irvine (Shawna). There are also 14 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren who will miss him in their lives. He is predeceased by his son Lorin Irvine in 1980. Doug enjoyed cooking, music, Mac computers, but especially his family and many friends both in person and on-line. By request, there is no service planned at this time.

sports

Synchro team struts its stuff

SR. B lacrosse team gets back to .500.

The city’s synchronized swimmers look forward to showing off some of the skills that helped them win medals at highcalibre competitions. The Nanaimo Diamonds are putting on their annual year-end waters show Sunday (June 10) at 4:30 p.m. at Beban Pool. The Diamonds’ national stream swimmers finished their season with a bronze medal at Synchro Canada’s Western divisionals and an 11th-place result at the Canadian Open. At provincials this past weekend, the Level 2 and Level 3 Diamonds both won gold and the Level 1 swimmers won bronze.

T he Nanaimo DBL Timbermen got to participate in their favourite activity this week – beating the Ladner Pioneers. The city’s senior B lacrosse team outran and outscored its rivals in an 11-7 win Thursday at the Nanaimo Ice Centre. “We played well pretty much in all facets,” said Mike Maughan, Timbermen coach. “Our offence really created a lot of chances, the defence played extremely well and punished them and made them earn all the chances they got.” The Timbermen (5-5) are having a lot of success in the West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association lately with their transition game, and it was again a factor on Thursday. “We feel when we’re pushing the pace we can get some breaks on the transition and guys know that and guys are willing to take some chances and it’s paying off for us,” Maughan said. Jon Diplock said the Timbermen are a fast team, but noted that there’s more to transition than speed. “We’ve got a lot of skilled players so most of us can read the play before it

happens,” he said. “That’s a big thing because we trust the guys getting the ball so we break out early and then we’ve got a oneon-nothing.” Even when the Pioneers attempted to slow down the Timber men with physical play, the T-men matched their rivals in that regard. Maughan said he liked how his team

played tough. “It’s because you want the ball that badly, you want to check them that hard,” he said. Maughan also praised his goalie Pat Mallough, who in turn credited his teammates’ defensive efforts. “We really kept them to outside shooters,” said Mallough. “They didn’t

get a lot of shots on me inside so I got to see everything.” He finished with 34 saves as the T-men outshot the Pioneers 48-41. Diplock, Nick Agius and Ryan Forslund each had two-goal games and other scorers were Rick Fields, Ben Stebbins, Gabe Sutherland and Shane Chalker.

GAME ON … The Timbermen have a full week off before they play the Royal City Capitals on Thursday (June 14) at the Nanaimo Ice Centre. The teams then play a rematch June 17 in New Westminster … Look for more on the DBL Timbermen next week in the News Bulletin. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Junior B Timbermen lose focus in loss Facing a top team, the junior B Timbermen rose to the challenge – for two periods, anyway. Nanaimo’s Pacific North West Junior Lacrosse League team lost 11-6 to the Saanich Tigers on Wednesday at the Nanaimo Ice Centre. For the first 40 minutes the T-men (1-7) were right there with the Tigers (7-2-1), as the game was tied 5-5 late in the second frame. Nanaimo was working hard, winning races to loose balls and might have

even held a lead if not for hitting some posts. “Guys just started really losing focus,” said Mike Haverstock, T-men defender. “We were getting ahead of ourselves, kind of, and making mental errors.” The Timbermen got careless with the ball, giving the Tigers too much time of possession. With Saanich on the constant attack, Nanaimo was forced into taking penalties. “A little fr ustration between everyone, and some miscommunication,”

said Matt Rinas, T-men coach. “It’s little stuff that we have to tweak.” Travis Mickelson led Nanaimo’s offence with a hat trick, Remy Koch scored twice and Jace House had the other T-men goal. GAME ON … Nanaimo is now in the midst of a stretch of four straight road games. The next home action for the junior B Timbermen isn’t until June 20, when they host the Peninsula Warriors at 7:30 p.m. at the NIC. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Dover Bay already has some of the fastest runners in the province, and they’re still getting faster. The Dolphins won provincial gold last weekend in the 4x400metre relay at the B.C. High School Track and Field Championships at Burnaby’s Swangard Stadium. Andrew DeGroot, Peter Oxland, Thomas Oxland and Sean McKenzie finished the race in three minutes, 25.82 seconds. McKenzie, running anchor, passed his St. George’s counterpart with 200m to go and Dover won by less than half a second. Also medalling was Joel DeSchiffart of Nanaimo Christian School, who was second in the 2,000m steeplechase and third in the 3,000m race. McKenzie placed fourth in the 400m race and Thomas Oxland was fourth in the 800m. Brandon Bonnetplume of John Barsby Community Secondary School was fifth in high jump, Dover’s Garrett Dunlop came fifth in the 2,000m steeple, and Carly O’Sullivan of Nanaimo District came fifth in the 1,500m steeple.

Timbermen will re-enter lacrosse box

VIBI grad drafted again

ADAM PAULENCU chosen by MLBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Colorado Rockies. BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

For mer VIBI Mariners standout Adam Paulencu has a new pitcherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mound to try to ascend. Paulencu was chosen by the Colorado Rockies in this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Major League Baseball draft in the 26th round, 798th overall. The Rockies play at Denverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Coors Field, a home-run-happy park that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make things easy on pitchers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good problem to have, is worrying about what MLB ballpark youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing in â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to have one day,â&#x20AC;? Paulencu joked. The pitcher is in high spirits these days after being drafted for a second year in a row. Last June the San Francisco Giants selected the hard-throwing right-hander, but his physical revealed tendonitis and they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sign him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was definitely a big blow,â&#x20AC;? he said.

FILE PHOTO

Former VIBI pitcher Adam Paulencu is again a big-league prospect after being chosen in the Major League Baseball draft.

The injury actually kept Paulencu off the mound for six months before he finally resumed throwing in December. By January all his velocity was back, and in recent weeks he helped his college team, the Embry-Riddle Eagles, make it to the NAIA World Series. He was selected an all-star after an 8-3 season in which he posted a

2.86 earned-run average in 94 1/3 innings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My results this year have been a lot better,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been going deeper into ball games and really doing a good job of getting ahead of batters.â&#x20AC;? So he fully expected to be chosen as a re-draft this past week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just from the fact that I was selected last year and I actually got better this year.â&#x20AC;? Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the process of coming to terms on a contract with the Rockies, and then expects to report to one of the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minor league affiliates, either the Grand Junction Rockies in Colorado or the Tri-City Dust Devils in Pasco, Wash. In the meantime heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keeping sharp throwing with the Swift Current Indians summer ball team in Saskatchewan, playing with and against old teammates from the Vancouver Island Baseball Institute. For Paulencu, being drafted changes everything, but at the same, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change anything. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same game Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played my whole life,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The Nanaimo Timbermen had nearly a week and a half to hone their game. Tomorrow (June 10) theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find out if it paid off. The Coastal Windows Timbermen (2-3) host the Burnaby Lakers (3-2) on Sunday in senior A Western Lacrosse Association action at Frank Crane Arena. Game time is 7 p.m. and tickets cost $12 for adults, $10 for seniors and students and $5 for children.

With the local indoor volleyball action now just about wrapped up, it’s time to credit players and coaches at different levels who enjoyed successful seasons. Nanaimo Volleyball Club teams recently concluded their seasons with competition at the provincial level and secondary school teams finished their playoffs some time ago. We’ll have more on them in a future column. This week, though, we recognize players at the elementary school level.

Michael Lundine was the coordinator for bantam (born 199899) girls’ teams from smaller schools with fewer than 275 students. Following the conclusion of league competition, single knockout playoffs were held that ultimately resulted in a championship title for North Oyster Elementary. The playoff win marked a fitting conclusion for the North Oyster team that had enjoyed an undefeated season. Comprised of students from Grades 5-7, the squad was

coached Anna Shupe, J. Ney Elementary, assisted by staff sponcoached by Tim Davie sor Lloyd O’Brien. and Erin Canty. On Players on the chamTeam A were players pionship team were Trejuanelle Dunbar, Kiley LudMikayla low, Oriana Kotai, THORPE Shandley, Tiffany REPORT Piper Amstutz, Ian Thorpe Doerksen, Madi Forde, Columnist Jenna Hailey Bowen, Beemer, Dionna Jaidyn Seymour, Durakovic Odessa and Selena KasproBarr, while wicz and Team B was Cynthia composed Frenchy. of Katelyn Capturing second Olson, Taylor McEachand third places in nie, Shay Dudley, the playoffs were two Emily Hoppe, Benett entries from Frank Zawasky, Maddy Hoy

and Halle Berry. Claiming fourth place was the team from Chase River. A total of 19 teams were involved in the league for larger schools, with Darren Brick the league coordinator. Post-season playoffs culminated with a final four tournament held at North Cedar Intermediate, where a pair of teams from the host school earned district pennants, finishing first and fourth. Susan Merritt handled coaching for both teams and North Cedar principal Roger

sometimes, more is more

Douglas reports it is the first time he can recall that one coach has had two teams from the school in the final four of the same sport. Players on the North Cedar team No. 1 that finished first in the playoffs were Natalie Kwas, Jasmine Sulyok, Hope Williams, Mya Fleming, Kindra Rypma, Bronwyn Krake-Morgan, Jane Hawthornthwaite and Linsay Tozer. Second place for bantam girls’ volleyball from large schools went to Coal Tyee. Coach for the team was Rhonda Wood, with Robbie Dhillon the team sponsor. On the roster were Julie Wood, Madelin Boas, Maddy Welch, Gabby

Soja, Alicia Ortiz, Alivia Acorn and Marie Taylor. The third-place pennant went to Mountain View, coached by Darren Brick. Playing for their school were Jaime Cullon, Tatianna Sayer, Heather Velthuis, Megan Epps, Taylor Olsen, Emma Young, Alexa Bevis, Laura Greene, Danielle Curry, Castley Warwick, Breanne Trepanier, Lindsay MacDowell, Danielle Bordeleau, Amy Cooke-Yarborough and Tnia Lovell.
