Blue Community taps turned on again by council
I
CITY CANNOT recognize water as a human right. BY TOBY GORMAN THE NEWS BULLETIN
First we weren’t, then we were. Then we weren’t again, and now we are. Sort of. That’s the path city council took over recent weeks to designate Nanaimo a Blue Community which resolves to: recognize water as a human right; promote publicly financed, owned and operated water and wastewater services; and ban the sale of bottled water in public facilities and at municipal events. Through legal guidance from city solicitors, council learned it does not have the political power to recognize water as a human right; only senior levels of government do. It agreed unanimously, however, that water should be publicly financed and owned, but was divided on whether to ban bottled water from city facilities. In the end it did with a 5-4 vote, which means bottled water will no longer be available for sale at city facilities beginning in October. The city recently signed an
updated beverage contract with Pepsi, though that contract does allow for a renegotiation of product selection. Juice and pop will still remain available to consumers. Bottled water sales generate about $8,500 annually in revenue for the city. The idea, said Coun. George Anderson, is to encourage residents to use municipal water, which is provided at one-tenth of a cent per litre, instead of bottled water which can sell for $1.25 for half a litre from a vending machine. But he doesn’t think the choice should be taken away from residents. “I think it’s important that we do give people a choice as to what’s in the facilities that they own and use,” he said. “I would much rather see us promote tap water in our facilities so that people are aware that it is accessible rather than outright banning bottled water because I know there are people who won’t drink from fountains. In elementary schools, they’re told that fountains are one of the leading causes of illness.” Anderson added that banning bottled water leaves the unhealthy options of pop or juice, which contradicts the city’s healthy choices policy passed in 2008. ◆ See ‘CITY’ /4

Nanaimo educators say a tentative deal between teachers and the employers’ association leaves important issues unresolved. The proposed settlement between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and B.C. Public School Employers’ Association was reached late Tuesday, just days before the June 30 deadline for mediator Charles Jago to either help the two parties achieve a negotiated settlement or issue a report with non-binding recommendations. It expires June 30, 2013, and the BCTF executive committee is recommending ratification. Justin Green, first vice-president of the Nanaimo District Teachers’ Association, said the agreement includes slight improvements to benefits and leave provisions, but does not address the main issues the union brought forward – most importantly, negotiated limits on classroom size and the number of special needs students in each class. “It didn’t accomplish our objectives,” he said. “I think at this point, it’s probably the best we can get. “It’s almost kind of a status quo. I get the feeling it’s more of a stop gap and let’s see what happens next spring. Eight months from now, we’re going to start again.” Teachers vote this week on the deal, with results reported Friday evening. ◆ See ‘TALKS’ /3

COOKING OIL and marbles spread in Barsby hallways.

Three students finished the year at John Barsby Secondary School with a prank that could have injured their peers.

cant portion of the school before someone spotted them. “The school hasn’t been able to identify who they were yet,” said Reimer. “When they were spotted, they ran out of the school. [Staff] locked down the school because the hallways weren’t safe to walk in and then they dismissed the students as they got each area cleaned up. It was definitely a safety concern.” Reimer said the school is operating under the assumption that the three were John Barsby students and that this was possibly a graduation prank. She said grad pranks aren’t as common as they used to be in the district,

Firefighters use a thermal imager to peer through brush for a deer that might have been hit and wounded by a car that crashed into a lamp standard on the Nanaimo Parkway Wednesday. The accident happened about 8:30 a.m. in the northbound lanes near the Mary Ellen Drive turnoff. A motorcycle also went out of control and crashed when traffic slowed rapidly to avoid the initial collision. The female driver of the car was taken to Nanaimo Regional General Hospital with unknown injuries. The motorcycle’s female driver was uninjured. Police are investigating.

adding that the only other one she’s heard about is a large water fight outside Nanaimo District Secondary School Friday afternoon. The water fight was supervised by the school’s RCMP liaison officer to ensure it didn’t get out of hand or move indoors. “In the past, [pranks have] involved a large number of students,” said Reimer. “When you have three students doing something, it becomes almost more like vandalism really.” Staff work hard to encourage students to think of positive ways to leave a legacy at the school, she added.
◆ From /1 Green expects teachers won’t be happy with the deal, but that there will be some sense of relief that they won’t face another year of job action and Labour Relations Board rulings. “If we do ratify and come to an agreement, then the Bill 22 action plan ends,” said Green. “It’s been a very long year.” One remaining question is what will happen with extra-curricular activities next fall, he said. Teachers withdrew from voluntary services this spring as part of the action plan to resist Bill 22 – provincial legislation passed earlier this spring that suspended teacher job action and appointed a mediator with specific terms of reference to help resolve the dispute. The BCTF is challenging Bill 22 in B.C. Supreme Court. The agreement stipulates that both parties must continue talks on the split of issues. Jamie Brennan, school board chairman, said the two parties have achieved an agreement, but not a resolution – the settlement meets the province’s net-zero mandate, but it doesn’t resolve key issues for teachers. “Hopefully we’ll see a restoration of whatever normal is in the fall,” he said. “I imagine there’s a feeling of lack of fulfillment in the sense that teachers didn’t get what they set out to achieve.”

Changes to the Fisheries Act as a result of the federal budget omnibus Bill C-38 are trickling down to municipal governments, leaving them with uncertainty over how to manage riparian and environmentally sensitive areas. With Bill C-38, the focus of the Fisheries Act is expected to narrow to only major waterways and specific types of fish, with a reduced focus on protection to fish habitat. “The concern is the f e d e r a l g ove r n m e n t is gutting fisheries enforcement, and that protections will only be extended to commercially significant fish,” said Charles Thirkill, a local fisheries biologist, member of the Harbour City River Stewards and former chairman of the city’s Advisory Committee on Environmental Sustainability. Changes to the Fisheries Act will likely affect local watercourse bylaws. Those watercourse bylaws are not based on federal legislation but instead are to be in compliance with the act. Historically, federal fisheries biologists have been required to determine if development or a change in watercourse was detrimental to fish or their habitat. With layoffs in the federal fisheries department, it is not known if these biologists will still be available to apply their expertise, possibly lowering current standards. “I’m not sure that they’re expecting us to
pick any of this up,” said Coun. Diane Brennan, chairwoman of ACES. “I’m not convinced that they’re saying ‘we don’t want to do this anymore but you should.’ I think they’re saying ‘we don’t think this is important anymore’.” According to a report released by the city’s advisory committee, the changes prompt a need to review the level of protection that the city has in place for watercourses and whether or not changes are needed to maintain current standards. On Monday, city council passed a resolution stating environmentally sensitive areas are an important asset to local residents and are recognized in the official community plan, that the city has already made significant investment in the protection of fresh and marine habitat within the city. The resolution will be distributed to both federal and provincial fisheries ministers, local members of parliament and MLAs. It is also being sent to the Union of British Columbia Municipalities for consideration at the 2012 convention in September, and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. Wi t h c o n s i d e r a b l e development occurring in Nanaimo as a result of zoning bylaw changes, coupled with increased efforts to re-establish salmon bearing streams within city limits, such as Departure Bay Creek, a reduction in fisheries expertise could provide challenges for the city.

City promotes use of tap water refills
◆ From /1 “There is no good reason that anyone has given to me to ban it and I’ve spoken with a lot of people, including the chief medical officer for Vancouver Island, and he said both bottled water and municipal tap water are both regulated and are healthy. So if we’re
banning it because of the plastic, then we should be banning all of the drinks in the vending machine,” said Anderson. Promoting the use of tap water also supports the city’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Higher levels of GHGs are required to make the

plastic bottles and ship them to various markets. Coun. Diane Brennan, who voted in favour of the ban, said people are still welcome to bring bottled water into facilities, but the ban simply implies the city won’t be promoting it. “It’s an absolutely logical extension of the second resolution, which is promoting public ownership of water,” said Brennan. Areas expected to be affected by the decision include concessions in city facilities or parks, concessions in city facilities or parks operated by community groups such as the Port Theatre or Caledonia Park, and

At a March 26 council meeting, representatives from the Vancouver Island Water Watch Coalition, midIsland chapter of the Council of Canadians, and Local 401 of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, appealed to council to officially designate Nanaimo as a Blue Community. “Our federal government is one of the last governments to recognize water as a human right,” said Paul Manly, a spokesman for the coalition. “We’re approaching municipal gover n-
Nanaimo RCMP are searching for the owners of an assortment of lawn statues and ornaments after a homeowner found them scattered in her garden early Tuesday morning. The items were found in a common garden on Robbie Place, located near Spencer Road off of Meredith Road, by a woman who noticed the ornaments had been carefully placed around the garden when she was about to let her dog out into the yard. Assuming they were taken from nearby homes, she called the police. Mounties collected the items, which included several garden statues, gnomes, solar lights, a plastic birdbath, a child’s tricycle and a pail of coloured chalk. Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman, said the items were likely taken as a prank. Anyone missing lawn ornaments is asked to call Nanaimo RCMP detachment at 250-7542345.

Kim Smythe, event organizer, said his wife, who owns the gold Toyota Sienna minivan that was stolen, was working with other volunteers unloading supplies and equipment from the vehicle to go into storage when three men working with them jumped in the van and drove off.

A man charged with murder following the June 2010 killing of a Nanaimo woman has been ordered to stand trial. Robert James Iverson is charged with first degree murder in the death of Cheryl Lynn Sim. A preliminary inquiry to determine if there is enough evidence to go to trial was held over several days in March, April and May. On Friday, Iverson was ordered to stand trial in B.C. Supreme Court. His next appearance is July 16 to fix a date for trial. Sim’s body was discovered June 29, 2010, in a vacant lot near Barsby Park at the end of Prideaux Street. She was 53 and wellknown in Nanaimo’s street community. Police charged Iverson in December 2010.

The B.C. and federal gover nments have relaxed some of the rules for student loan repayment, part of an integrated loan program in effect starting Sunday (July 1). The new repayment assistance plan allows for smaller payments for lower-income students, based on income, number of dependent children and the amount of student debt owed. The program extends the repayment time and may allow forgiveness of the original loan amount. A single parent with two children and an average annual income of $30,000 would see the minimum interest payment on a $20,000 student loan decrease from $228 to zero. A student couple with two children, combined
income of $50,000 and combined loans totalling $40,000 would see their minimum payments fall from $485 to $87. P re m i e r C h r i s t y Clark said the new repayment rules will expand the number of B.C. students eligible for relief to 20,000, replacing strict income-based limits for loan repayment that didn’t reflect loan size or number of dependents. “It’s going to be a really big benefit for people who might find themselves $1,000 over the eligibility line,” Clark said. The new repayment assistance plan also provides for forgiveness of some or all of the loan principal if students have dependents and their income stays low over time. Students with a permanent disability can qualify for full loan
forgiveness if they still can’t afford the full loan payment after 10 years. B.C. student loans given out before Aug. 1, 2011 are automatically moved to the new national student loan system effective July 1. Loan recipients are supposed to receive a new agreement with the terms of the integrated loan. People with B.C. student loans in default can qualify for the integrated loan program by making at least six monthly loan payments in a row on their defaulted loan or repaying it in full.

Peers emphasize code of conduct I YOUNG STUDENTS encouraged to take responsibility.

The success of a peer mentorship program piloted by a handful of Dover Bay Secondary School students this year has motivated educators to continue the work in September. For five weeks in March and April, Dover students Nick Tang, Ben Cameron, Danielle Kludash, Holly Larsen and Shelby Ross went to McGirr Elementary School to work with five Grade 3 boys. The senior students’ teacher, Lynn Brown, was asked by McGirr administrators if she could provide any students to help the boys learn the school’s code of conduct. Brown taught the senior students the four C’s – control, commitment, communication and co-operation – and they delivered the lesson to the group of boys at McGirr, incorporating fun activities into the experience to practise what they were learning. “It bonded the two groups together,” she said. “The young kids just loved it.” Activities included sharing materials for a craft project (co-operation), a game of telephone (communication) and drawing posters of things the students thought might help them exercise more control. Brown said getting the message from older students can be a powerful way of

learning. “It may be seen as more purposeful for the younger students,” she said. “Positive role modelling is essential.” Delivering a lesson also helps the older students learn it better and achieve a greater understanding of their own learning processes, Brown added. The students presented
their project to trustees at a recent education committee meeting. Tang said teaching these boys will have a ripple effect. “As we teach these students, they will start to teach other students,” he said. By having older students reinforce the code with them, Tang said the younger students got a better understanding of the code and how it can be used outside of the school. “We found that they understood it more,” he said. Cameron said making this code of conduct universal to the district would be helpful because the students would have something to connect to in any school.
Brown said the four C’s are a part of the community of learners model that she has used at both the elementary and secondary levels for the past six years. The community of learners model encourages students to take responsibility for their own learning and students design their own plans to become successful learners. She would like to bring Grade 7 students to Dover next year. McGirr has already committed to continue the work and Brown would like to bring more of Dover’s feeder elementary schools on board, but the project depends on how many leadership students she’s able to recruit to deliver the lessons. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

A Nanaimo woman is leading the Canadian Federation of University Women into the future. Susan Murphy was elected as president of the federation during the organization’s annual general meeting in Victoria June 21-24. She’ll serve as president from 201214. “I am very honoured to be the president of the CFUW,” said Murphy, who served the past four years as vice-president for the B.C. CFUW board of directors and president of the B.C. council. “We are very pleased that Susan’s skills and abilities will be shared with our national organization. Her local voluntary contributions are well known,” said Roberta Veenstra, CFUW Nanaimo branch president. M u r p hy m ove d t o Nanaimo from Winnipeg in 2000 and has been involved with various organizations in the community. She’s been chairwoman of task groups which focused on comMURPHY munication and raising money for the federation. She has been an active volunteer, serving as chairwoman and board member for organizations such as United Way of Central Vancouver Island and Nanaimo Haven Society. Murphy said every president adopts a theme for their three years in office, but instead, she choose three words – action, advocacy and education – to focus on. The CFUW does a lot of advocacy work in conjunction with other women’s groups, and provides support to women looking to further their education. “Our No. 1 goal is human rights and justice for women and girls,” said Murphy. “Education has made a huge difference in many women’s lives. It opens doors to better income.” She said education can help women escape from poverty by finding higher paying jobs and allow them to save more for retirement. The federation was founded in 1919 and is a national non-profit organization. There are 112 clubs across Canada with nearly 10,000 graduate women and student members.

EDITORIAL
Bottled water offers choice The first two resolutions that require a municipality to become a Blue Community are obvious – recognizing water as a human right and promoting publicly financed, owned and operated water and wastewater services go without saying. But the third resolution, banning the sale of bottled water in public facilities and at municipal events, wades into the arena of unfair competition, and it also contradicts current municipal policy. It’s no wonder council had such difficulty with it. On the former point, is it realistic, or even legal, to ban a product that is perfectly healthy for the people who choose consume it? Is it government’s place to eliminate a choice for its residents? One aspect of council’s decision focused on reducing greenhouse gases. Producing and shipping bottled water does generate greenhouse gases, but under that auspice, should we not ban all vending machine drinks, or any other product that comes wrapped in plastic and is shipped? For people who prefer not to drink out of public fountains, and many don’t, bottled water provides an alternative to fountain water and sugary drinks like pop and juice. Which brings us to the city’s Healthy Choices policy, established in 2008. That policy aimed to provide more healthy choices for people purchasing products at city facilities and concessions in an effort to promote activity and good health. By banning the sale of bottled water, people using city facilities now must choose between drinking fountains and sugary drinks, or they have to bring their own water, likely bottled water from another vendor. There is no real reason to ban bottled water. Municipalities have every opportunity to promote their own water services without washing away people’s choice.

an ‘action plan’ on poverty, with annual goals. All the progressive provinces have one, which I guess is why poverty is all but eradicated in enlightened places like Manitoba. There are signs of the reality behind this political smokescreen. Here’s one. For what may be the first time in history, we now have a North American society where one of the most reliable indicators of poverty is obesity. This often gets explained away with a popular theory that poor people are somehow forced to eat fast food and drink pop because they can’t afford healthy food. People who advance this theory presumably don’t do much grocery shopping. There are plenty of processed, sugary, fat-laden choices at the supermarket too. But there is also whole wheat bread, rice and fresh or frozen vegetables that are as cheap as anywhere in the world. Given basic cooking skills and some effort, it’s easy to demonstrate which diet is cheaper as well as healthier. Most immigrants know this. Which diet you choose isn’t a function of money, but rather one of education and self-discipline. There is genuine poverty in our society. One of the things that’s needed is a useful way to define it. ◆ Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Health care requires all governments on board
Conservatives erode democracy To the Editor, Re: Wear-green effort lacks respect, Letters, June 2. I understand that Jim Corder and I have very different views on patriotism. This is fine as differing views are to be encouraged in a democracy. What does offend me about his letter is the personal insult in his accusation that I lack an understanding of our parliamentary system. On the contrary, I understand our parliamentary system very well; well enough that I am deeply concerned about its erosion. I would like to expand on my
To the Editor, The Canadian Wait Time Alliance Report Card on wait times for medical care in Canada contains two findings that should make members of the public and policy makers take note. The report estimates that one in six hospital beds are now occupied by patients who do not require acute care services, but end up in hospital due to a shortage of preventative, community-based health services. Wait times are best addressed by improving the entire health-care continuum and investing in primary health-care services. The report also notes the important role played by the federal government in setting national health strategies and facilitating their implementation. Much progress has been made in reducing wait times in the five areas identified as priorities by all governments under the 2004 Health Accord. Unfortunately, the federal government has stated that after the current accord expires in 2014, it will continue to provide some funding, but no leadership for health care. This isn’t good enough. The health care system requires the shared commitment and cooperation of Ottawa and the provinces. Rick Turner, co-chairman B.C. Health Coalition

statement that Corder took issue with concerning why I don’t believe the Stephen Harper government has a mandate to gut environmental protection. Much to my chagrin, the environment did not register as an election issue last year. Despite the Conservatives’ onceheld view of openness and transparency, they were not open with Canadians before the election that they planned to repeal and amend environmental legislation and cut programs charged with ensuring a clean environment. For example, had the Minister
of Fisheries and Oceans said on May 1, 2011, what Minister Ashfield said on June 13, 2012: “... the amended Fisheries Act will provide flexibility and establish new tools to authorize deposits of deleterious substances,� I doubt the Conservatives would have gotten the majority they have today. They certainly wouldn’t have gotten a seat in coastal B.C. that depends on the health of our fisheries rather than the wealth of the oil sands. Dana Haggarty Nanaimo
Readers respond: Feedback on news items Thinkers should see downside of economy To the Editor, Re: Many socialists figure wealth is redistributed, Letters, June 26. How good of Jim Corder to liven things up with, “Kids should be taught ‘how’ to think, not ‘what’ to think’�, and then close his letter off by cleverly leaving us with the impression that capitalism, with its all consuming concern for the various facets of the economy, isn’t simply a rather base means of redistributing the wealth within a society; an alternate devoid of the egalitarian concerns that should found government taxation. If industry and jobs, (the economy) truly created wealth, would we be so cavalier about tossing it all onto the trash heaps when we’ve done with it? When the economy has finished its undoing of nature, will we be grateful for the contributions of ‘greenwash’? Perhaps if some were, truly, more inclined toward the ‘how’ of thinking, they might observe ‘the economy’ as the ultimate despoiler of wealth – rather than finding themselves
parroting the nonsensical fictions of yet another bit of creator idolatry. Yes, Homo sapiens sapiens indeed. David S. Dunaway South Wellington
Council has no right to ban bottled water To the Editor, Re: Basic values define Blue Community label, Letters, June 23. The city has no right to ban bottled water from public venues. The lawsuits could easily show up as contract breaking and lost profits for anyone who has a concession contract. All future exports of fresh water would be under local government control which leads to a further step into communism or Marxism. The Blue Water Project was developed in the Great Lakes where pollution is a problem. The wording in the contracts are well written by lawyers with witty interpretations. This same group has an antipipeline mandate which will automatically use the Blue Water signing as a tool against that project. The Blue Water Project allows
people from outside B.C. to be involved in our best interests. We already have Ottawa up one nostril. Why would we want Ontario up the other nostril? Matt James Nanaimo
Canadians determined to sell off resources To the Editor, Re: Gas price reflects other costs, Letters, June 19. Paul McDowell’s letter was very informative. However, there are many questions that remain unanswered. Why is Canada going with oil prices set up by OPEC? Do we need to import oil ? We should be looking at refineries in Canada to produce our own petrol needs. If there is extra, then export that to whoever pays the highest price. We, as Canadians, or the controlling powers, remain determined to sell off our resources without processing anything. An example is selling whole logs offshore. Until we process our resources, we will remain “hewers of wood and drawers of water.� R.Stead Nanaimo
Writer’s review of columnist right on target To the Editor, Re: Columnist’s views raise valid concerns, Letters, June 14. Keith Sketchley’s criticism of Karen Hodgson’s letter about your columnist, Tom Fletcher, is quite off the mark, and in fact, is quite hateful in itself. Hodgson wrote an excellent letter. Fletcher usually presents a very narrow view of an issue and he covers the lack of objectivity up by calling citizens names. Sketchley himself falls into that by using the term new-Marxist. Since when do we cast aspersions on people wanting to better our society? Sketchley closes by saying that Hodgson couldn’t make a rational case for her arguments. It’s easy to negate Fletcher’s hollow assertions. In one column, Fletcher took great pains to tell us how the HST loss was causing the Christy Clark government to rush through complicated legislation that would bring back the GST. He points out, of course, that the NDP and we, the lowly people who expressed our will, were the cause of this event. Governments surely have better things to do, he implies. Let me tell Fletcher this; Clark and her government sit for only 47 days of the year. They get three times the pay that teachers do, but only work one-third of the time. If the Clark government really needed time for the complicated HST-to-GST legislation, let her schedule more time for the debate. It would do government members good to actually work on legislation that serves people, not their corporate masters. Hodgson was right on in her review of your columnist. His very narrow biased approach to writing is obvious to most readers. Klaus Nenn Nanaimo

Connecting the dots from Ontario to Rio Ontario’s endangered wildlife dodged a bullet (and a bulldozer) recently, when the provincial government reversed its decision to gut the province’s world-class Endangered Species Act with a raft of amendments stuffed into a controversial omnibus budget bill.
Legal experts, former politicians, and environmentalists, including me, had expressed concern about Bill 55’s damaging revisions to several environmental laws in the province, most notably the Endangered Species Act. The changes would have under-
mined public management of cherished forests, lakes, and rivers, as well as protection of some of the most vulnerable species in Canada. Many of those plants and animals are clinging to survival, including woodland caribou. More than 50 labour, health, and environ-

mental groups submitted a joint letter to the government in defence of the act. They were joined by thousands of Ontario residents who wrote Premier Dalton McGuinty, urging him to change his mind. Thankfully, he listened. At the 11th hour, government voted to remove amendments from Bill 55 that would have eviscerated the act. While Ontario’s environmental laws remain vulnerable to politics, I’m relieved legislators were able to come together to maintain strong legal protection for the diversity of nature and life that provides us with immeasurable benefits. With their vote of confidence for the act, politicians in Ontario helped sustain one of the few outcomes of an important global environmental agreement, the Convention on Biological Diversity. Its 20th anniversary was celebrated in June at Rio+20, more formally known as the United

The first Rio Earth Summit was marked by grandiose rhetoric and commitments by politicians who ultimately failed to deliver on their promises. Twenty years later, the world confronts a biosphere even more damaged by millions of acres of destroyed forests, two billion more people, and atmospheric carbon concentrations nearing tipping-point levels. There’s a lesson from the successful fight to save environmental laws in Ontario: The public must remain vigilant and continue to compel our politicians to act if we are to have any hope of stemming the biodiversity crisis here at home and across the planet. The government of Ontario listened to public concerns. I remain hopeful the province’s political leaders will keep the ESA intact. Legal protection of wildlife and its vulnerable habitat has never been more critical. www.davidsuzuki.org r

Artist Brendan Tang discusses his series of ceramic pieces during an event at Nanaimo Centre Stage BY MELISSA FRYER THE NEWS BULLETIN
B
rendan Tang likes the idea that an image in his head can become a real-life object. Unlike a paper and pen drawing that sits on the page in two-dimensional glory, a ceramic sculpture can be picked up, turned over and walked around, inhabiting the same space as its viewer. Tang brings his awardwinning ceramic display Manga Ormolu to Nanaimo Centre Stage for a presentation July 10 at 7:30 p.m. The pieces look like combinations of classic Chinese pottery and modern robots, which Tang describes as a hybridity of culture and technology. “I try to
touch on a couple of different things,” Tang said. “I want people to get questioning the work.” Tang’s interest in art started in high school with painting and drawing, and ceramics after a project to create an underwater scene. He said he was always interested in animation and drafting. “I got into ceramics a little by accident,” he said. “I’m dating myself here, but at the time there was a real resurgence in clay-mation.” He was the first in his family to pursue art as a career and it took some convincing for his parents to be supportive. Although his mom, Camela, was recognized for her work to build Nanaimo’s arts community, she and her husband expressed con-
cern about Tang’s a ability bility to support himself, he e said. “My mom is a tou tour de force in the arts commun nity here,” nity Tang said. “But the ey didn’t ey want their kids to sstruggle.” truggle.” Tang worked with h Jo and an Vic Duffhues, of Jo oVic Pottery, learning produ uction potuction tery, which involvess creating functional pieces lik ke cups ke and bowls. “I went to art scho ool and ool kept it in my bag off tricks,” Tang said. He earned a maste er’s degree, er’s studying at Malaspiina ina University-College, Nov va Scotia va College of Art and Design and universities in the A American merican Midwest. Becoming an artisst full-time wasn’t his original goal. “At some level, I th hink this hink was something I wa as good as g od at,” Tang said. “I diidn’t know how to translate tha at into a at living.” ‘COLLE ◆ See ‘COLLEC ECTION’ ON’ /17

CANADA D DAY SALE The U Th Uchuck h k Years By David Esson Young Travelling on the Uchuck as it drops supplies to remote West Coast communities is a wellkept secret for many residents. What even the locals don’t know is the extensive history of the vessels travelling the coastal shipping lines since the days before highways and B.C. Ferries. The Nootka Sound Service Ltd. started out supplying Ucluelet and Bamfield, moving further up the coast to logging and mining camps. Four vessels, all named Uchuck, hauled passengers and freight, from outpost supplies to broken aircraft, totem poles, kayaks and camping gear. Young draws on extensive company records to supplement his memories of 40 years with the Nootka Sound Service, starting as a junior deckhand as a teenager and finishing as co-owner and shipmaster.

Ceramics isn’t his only medium, having indulged in drafting and animation between pieces in the Manga Ormolu, which can take one to two months to produce just one piece. While Tang exhibited the Manga Ormolu all over the world, he doesn’t consider it completely finished. “It’s dangerous to shut the door on a body of work,” Tang said. “I feel like I’m always getting better at the Manga Ormolu.” Tickets to Tang’s presentation are $15 and available through the theatre at www.nanaimocentrestage.com or by calling 250-754-2264.

WHITE RAPIDS add diving to club activities. BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

Nanaimo White Rapids athlete Darby Walker practises a dive Tuesday at the Nanaimo Aquatic Centre. The diving club is new this season.

Walker can nail a front layout full-twist dive, and she and her teammates will enter their first competition July 7 in Vancouver. Jantzen said he won’t really know how the White Rapids divers stack up with divers from other clubs until he sees them in competition, but the Rapids are optimistic.
The Nanaimo White Rapids diving club has athletes from diverse sports backgrounds. Swimmers, of course, and gymnasts, and even a freestyle skier. Diving club member Darby Walker, for example, has been in gymnastics all her life. “They learn tumbling, they learn somersaults and they learn flips.

Out-of-town scores baffle WLA teams BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
The Nanaimo Timbermen played leapfrog at the end of practice Tuesday night. It’s symbolic of what the Western Lacrosse Association squad would love to do in the standings – leapfrog a few teams en route to first place. But it’s tricky this year to climb the standings. More so than any other year, every team is capable of beating every other team. “The out-of-town scoreboard’s bizarre,” said Zak Boychuk, Timber men goalie. “You have no idea. It’s good, though. It’s great for the league.” Only the first-placed Victoria Shamrocks (6-2) have fewer losses than the Timbermen (4-3-1), and yet the T-men still find themselves in sixth place in the seven-team league. So Nanaimo’s can’t be complacent, riding a threegame unbeaten streak. “Every game is starting to get a little bit more intense now that everybody is beating everybody and the league’s so close,” said Myles Kenny, T-men transition player. The unpredictability of the out-of-town scoreboard can make it a little more difficult to prepare for games. This Saturday (June 30), the Timbermen host the Coquitlam Adanacs (5-5). The T-men beat the Adanacs earlier this season, but so much has changed since then. ◆ See ‘T-MEN’ /B4

The night before, Nanaimo’s attempts to come back in the third period fell just short. “We battled pretty hard against a good team and we kind of felt that we deserved a better fate,” said Maughan. Diplock’s four goals led the way, Russell Thomas and Fendick had two goals each and Alex McDougall also scored. After strong showings against the first-placed Reb-

Street hockey players go for record
I
GAME NEEDS to stretch for more than 105 hours. BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
Whether or not they set a world record, an upcoming street hockey game is bound to be Nanaimo’s highestscoring game ever. The Save-On-Foods Longest Street Hockey Game faces off this Friday (June 29) at the Nanaimo Curling Centre on Wall Street. To earn a place in the book
of Guinness World Records, 40 street hockey players are going to need to go non-stop for 105 hours, 17 minutes. “We’ve been holding practices for about a month and a half, but the big training is going to be mentally,” said Tali Campbell, event organizer. The two teams – one representing University Village mall and the other representing CUPE B.C. – will face off at 3 a.m. early Friday morning. And then there are no more faceoffs. “There is no stoppage once a goal’s scored. Seven seconds and the ball’s back
in play and you continue,” Campbell said. “Guinness is very strict in their rules. I’d say about 50 pages of rules and there is no leeway.” It will be a challenge to meet the criteria, especially at the end of a long shift. Campbell said the plan is for the teams to play two-hour shifts during the daytime and four-hour shifts at night. “It has to be a fast-paced game. It can’t be just people walking, passing the ball,” he said. Players are also required to stay on-site the whole time, so they will have to eat and sleep at the curling centre.
Guinness won’t have representatives on hand; Campbell will have to collect witnesss statements, security camera footage and newspaper articles to prove the record is legitimate. Anyone is welcome to watch, but there won’t be bleachers set up so people should bring lawn chairs or a blanket. The record, Campbell said, is important to the players. “It’s huge for them, it’s going to be huge for our community and it’s going to be a sigh of relief once that’s all done,” he said. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

TT-men take advantage ◆ From /B1 The Adanacs have been on a tear, and indeed Saturday’s game pits two of the WLA’s hottest teams against one another. “It’s going to be a completely different team compared to when we played them at the beginning of the season,� said Kenny. “[Their goalie] Nick Rose is playing unbelievable right now and all their big shots are starting to get a lot of goals.� It will take good communication in the defensive end to shut down Coquitlam’s key players, said Kenny. Home-floor advantage could also be a factor. The Timbermen haven’t
lost at home yet this season and they say they feed off the energy at Frank Crane Arena. “We haven’t lost at home and I don’t expect us to lose,â€? said Art Webster, Timbermen coach. “Coquitlam’s been playing well ‌ but I still think that we haven’t really reached [our potential] offensively. We have some games, but we have to be on fire like that consistently.â€? GAME ON ‌ The Timbermen and Adanacs play Saturday (June 30) at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena. Tickets, $12 for adults, $10 for seniors and students and $5 for kids, will be available at the door.

Summer swim club divers hope to be in medal hunt
White Rapids host big meet
I
KIN POOL will be busy all weekend.
The Nanaimo White Rapids are inviting everyone into the pool. The city’s summer swim club hosts its huge annual meet this weekend from Friday (June 29) through Sunday at Bowen Park’s Kin Pool.
Hundreds of swimmers from up and d ow n Va n c o u ve r Island and from the mainland will compete in fast-paced short-course competition at the 25-metre pool. The invitational is the White Rapids’ largest outdoor meet every year. Later this summer the White Rapids will be hosting provincials at the Nanaimo Aquatic Centre.

◆ From /B1 The diving club was formed in January for a specific reason. The Nanaimo White Rapids summer swim club is hosting provincials this year, and that competition includes diving, water polo and synchronized swimming in addition to the racing. “The club wanted to be able to have representation from as many of the aquatic disciplines as we could get going,” Tissington said. The B.C. Summer Swimming Association has rules about winter maintenance, and so divers were allowed a strict two hours per week during off-season. Once the White Rapids’ season started, the divers were able to ramp up their training.
“[We’re trying] to get them as far as we can, as fast as we can up to speed, basically,” said Jantzen. There won’t be diving at the Nanaimo White Rapids Invitational meet Friday (June 29) through Sunday, partly because of scheduling challenges. (The meet is at Bowen Park’s Kin Pool, which doesn’t have a threemetre diving board.) But come provincials, the club members look forward to stepping onto the diving board in front of friends, family and teammates at the Nanaimo Aquatic Centre, then diving in headfirst. “It will be so much fun,” said Walker. “And getting a medal would just be the icing on the cake.” sports@nanaimobulletin.com

MANY THANKS to Rick Windley for building us a beautiful home. It was 25 years ago this month and thanks to his expertise, it is still a beautiful home. From a grateful Doug and Jeannie Whitfield. A BEAUTIFUL BOUQUET OF THANK YOUS to the man who picks up litter daily around downtown and in residential areas. You are making our city look much better. A HUGE BOUQUET to the kind neighbour who replaced my hanging baskets after some thoughtless person stole them. Acts of kindness like that help to restore one’s faith in mankind. THANKS to Dallas, Stephen and Doug at Nanaimo Toyota for your extraordinary efforts in helping make our new Vibe work for Nanaimo CarShare Cooperative. We look forward to seeing you again soon for vehicle No. 3. A HUGE BOUQUET OF BEER, PRETZELS AND CANDY to the wonderful young man, the enthusiastic little girl and the patient woman who were so kind to me when I ran up on a high curb at Brickyard Clinic. I think the man literally gave me the laces from his boots to tie up the dangling parts of my car’s bumper and thus enabled me to drive it home. BOUQUETS AND BUCKETS OF MULTI-COLOURED PAINTS to Peter at Erndor Auto Body on Northfield Road. At a very reasonable price this senior master craftsman made my 12-year-old car look like it just arrived from the factory. I’ll never go anywhere else for auto body repairs.

Nanaimo News Bulletin Thursday, June 28, 2012
A HUGE CHEESY BOUQUET to the staff of Bada Bing Pizza. I’ve never seen such a small staff work so hard to please their customers. Best prices in town by far and the most amazing pizza I’ve ever tasted. You guys are working in a closetsized space with no AC and look like you’re having a blast doing it. Keep cranking out the amazing pizzas. A BIG BOUQUET to a kind and honest person who received my daughter’s income tax return cheque in error. Thank you for dropping it off in our mailbox. A BOUQUET OF RAINDROPS to Woodgrove Centre for their greening efforts. It would be great to see everyone in the City of Nanaimo do the same.
A FATHER’S DAY BOUQUET to the Newcastle Island Ferry for giving dads free passage to Newcastle on Father’s Day. What a great treat to add to an already great day.

A BOUQUET to the volunteers who cut all the Scotch broom from the brush along Seabold Trail. What a wonderful job. I would have joined you, but you would have tired quickly of my sneezing. A BOUQUET OF AFRICAN VIOLETS to Drs. Piemontesi and Babst for the excellent care they gave me during my eye surgery. Nanaimo is fortunate to have such a dedicated ophthalmologist practising in our community. Thanks also to the girls in the office on Wallace Street and the nursing staff in the optical surgery unit at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital, who do a fantastic job.
www.nanaimobulletin.com
A HUGE BOUQUET OF THANK YOUS to Kelsey’s, Thrifty Foods, Save-On-Foods, Superette Foods, Crazy Chris Balloon Extraordinaire, Westwood Roofing, Avalon Cinemas, and parent volunteers. Nanaimo Parent Participation Preschool’s annual spring fair was a huge success because of your generosity. A PRETTY BOUQUET OF IRISES to Susan at Country Grocer. I chose baby’s breath and white carnations. I quickly picked up a few more groceries and was back to collect my flowers. I have bought a lot of flowers in my time and no one has ever done that special fold with the cellophane and tissue paper that made the bouquet look absolutely elegant and unique. That is an artistic, beautiful way to wrap and it didn’t take Susan any longer than the normal way.
A BOUNTIFUL SPRAY OF PURPLE IRISES to my former husband. While I am suffering with hip pain and immobility, he kindly offered the use of his special leather office chair so I can have the appropriate height and style of chair for sitting. He also shopped for items to save me the painful trip to the store. A SHINY NEW BASKET OF AUTO PARTS to Theo at Kal Tire on Old Victoria Road. My son and his sister stopped before school last
week to get brake lights working and fill the tires with air. Thank you for making his first garage experience with his own truck a fair, affordable and pleasant experience. You rock. A THANK YOU BOUQUET to Pryde Vista Golf Course for the two free passes given to us when we held our annual family tournament there. They were given out as a prize and were much appreciated. Also A BOUQUET OF THANKS to Kate for cooking the roast beef. BOUQUETS OF GRATITUDE to ReMax of Nanaimo Realtors for another successful family barbecue. The kids had a great time, the volunteers were fabulous and the food was delicious and never ending. Thank you for a great day and kudos to the nighbours for accepting the extra noise and traffic for four hours. A BOUQUET to the Harewood traffic watcher. The Fifth and Bruce intersection was on the city’s list for traffic lights years ago. We were passed over. A BEEF F to the shoppers at the Cedar Farmers Market who are parking partially on both sides of Yellow Point Road and then walking on the roadway to the market entrance. This is a busy road and the market organizers and Regional District of Nanaimo have a responsibility to keep it safe.
A BEEF F to whoever put the gravelly sand in the beach courts. It is more like a gravel pit than a sand court. Sure hurts the poor feet. BEEFS to those who remark about other people’s haircuts or clothes. They might not be able to afford to go to salons or buy the latest fashions. And most women aren’t six feet tall and 100 pounds, but they get partners anyway. A BEEF F to people who drive with their dogs on their laps. If you cared about your pet or others, you would put your animal in a cage or a doggie seat belt. A BEEF to the school district about the pay parking at Serauxmen Stadium. I understand that all businesses need to make their money, but this type of action is overly aggressive against the public and has resulted in a lot of frustrated people (mainly Vancouver Island University students). A BEEF F to the McDonald’s customers who are confused when ordering their food. The next time you’re in the lineup waiting to get your order taken, look at the menu and figure out what you want before we take your order. And the next time you walk into the restaurant, do us a favour and leave your cell phone in the car. A BEEF F to people who falsely advertise items as working even though they are broken. After some online searching, my husband bought a cellpone from someone. This person came to our house and my husband agreed to buy it after testing it to see if it worked, which the seller insisted it did. Soon after the seller left, the phone began shutting down shortly after being turned on. A NEIGHBOURLY SUGGESTION to the tree trimming beefer – offer to pay for the work. In our experience, it works. A BEEF F to the selfish homeowners who smother our view with the tall trees on their property. These trees are also tangled in the hydro wires.
This Week’s Winner MARGARET HOPKINS wins a bouquet from Turley’s Florist.

2013 CX-5 puts Skyactiv engine to road test.
BY JIM ROBINSON here seem to be a number of different roads manufacturers are taking to get us to a greener world. One is the road of pure electric vehicles, another for full hybrids and mild hybrids. Then there is one for extended range EVs and yet another for hydrogen. And then there is Mazda that is alone in taking the long-serving internal combustion gasoline engine to the next green level with something they call Skyactiv technology and the reason for this road test of the 2013 CX-5 compact CUV with the full Skyactiv treatment. Skyactiv is a combination of new engines, transmissions, bodies and chassis all developed in house and sharing nothing with any other manufacturer. The CX-5 is the first Mazda to integrate all four components into one vehicle. With the Skyactiv-G (gasoline) and Skyactiv-D (diesel) engines, the aim was to make them lighter, more powerful and more fuel-efficient than any other similar engines on the market. In Canada, the CX-5 will only come with the Skyactiv-G engine for now. The 2.0-litre Skyactiv-G engine in the CX-5 is 10 per cent lighter than the

The 2013 CX-5 compact SUV is the first of a whole new generation of Mazda vehicles to incorporate Skyactiv technology, but it also retains sports car driving dynamics that aren’t out of place on a racetrack.

The interior of the Mazda CX-5 will be familiar to anyone who has owned one previously.

current 2.0-litre. It also boasts 15 per cent lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. This was done in a number of ways. Internal friction was lowered by 30 per cent. Mazda also uses a Formula 1 style exhaust system that makes for much better
advantages because of a full-range lock-up clutch. Because it is very compact and light, it offers up a seven per cent better fuel economy. The Skyactiv-MT sixspeed manual is Mazda’s smallest and lightest manual to date. One of the goals was to make
scavenging of spent gasses. It results in 155 horsepower compared to 143hp for the current 2.0-litre. Next Mazda developed two new transmissions. The Skyactiv-drive sixspeed automatic is not a dual clutch system but it does have some of the
shifting as quick and positive as the MX-5 Miata to retain Mazda’s reputation of sportiness. Using the latest highstrength steels and new bonding techniques, the Skyactiv body was made eight per cent lighter but 30 per cent more rigid. Similarly, the Skyactiv
chassis is 14 per cent lighter but more rigid. In fact, a stated goal by Mazda is reduce the weight of each vehicle it replaces by at least 100 kilograms. Putting it all together the manual in the frontwheel-drive gets 7.8 litres per 100 kilometres in the city and 5.7L/100km on the highway. A lot of work went into the suspension geometry. The biggest thing is a change in the front-end caster angle from five degrees as with most of the Japanese SUVs to seven degrees as most of the Germans. Knowing a good thing when they see it, the CX-5 is now set up for a more European feel in ride and handling. An unusual move when it comes to a crossover-utility vehicle was Mazda’s decision to let journalists loose on the appropriately named Mazda Raceway at Laguna Seca in Monterey, Calif., complete with Turn 8 known around the world as the Corkscrew. I was suffering from an injured right hand so decided not to go out on track and risk making a mistake. But I watched the others flail the CX-5 through a slalom course and on the track and it acquitted itself very well. One journalist of many years experience called it “poised”, a term I haven’t heard to describe a CUV, and proving that all the Mazda sportiness had been dialed in. ◆ See ‘DRIVERS’ /B16

Drivers will be able to track fuel consumption instantaneously Will Skyactiv work? The most telling thing of all was after pounding the CX-5 around the track and then on the highway, the instant fuel consumption readout was showing 7.1 litres per 100km. And from that, it looks to me like the sky’s the limit.

Ford updates design and driver controls on pickup lineup
I
F-150 FEATURES voice-activated controls.
On June 4, Ford introduced the 2013 F-150, featuring updated design and all-new driver controls technology. The F-150 lineup gets new grilles combining fresh designs with instantly recognizable F-Series cues. New HID projector headlamps are available as a segment-first technology to deliver improved visibility and increase driver confi-
dence. New 18- and 20-inch wheels will be offered in various trim packages. Segment-exclusive power, telescoping and power-folding trailer-tow sideview mirrors add flexibility and convenience when operating in tight quarters, while enabling visibility. Inside, the 2013 Ford F-150 adds Ford’s SYNC voiceactivated communications and entertainment system paired with a new 10.6 centimetre LCD centrestack screen that provides enhanced displays of audio and climate-control functions and menus for gauge
setup, trip computer, fuel economy and towing/offroad applications. Each engine across the F-150 lineup is mated to a fuel-saving electronic sixspeed automatic transmission with tow/haul mode, with tow packages and STX series and above adding SelectShift capability. F-150 engine choices include the 3.7-litre fourvalve Ti-VCT V6, the 5.0litre four-valve dual-overhead-camshaft Ti-VCT V8, the 6.2-litre two-valve single-overhead-camshaft V8 and the 3.5-litre Ti-VCT EcoBoost engine.

Ford recently introduced a slightly modified 2013 F-150 lineup featuring updated design and all-new driver controls technology, including MyFord Touch voice-activated driver controls.
Ram ramps up engines to increase efficiency Ram 1500 for 2013 delivers increased fuel economy with a truckload of pioneering, fuel-saving systems. These include a more fuel efficient and more powerful 3.6-litre V6 engine and first-in-segment technologies: eightspeed automatic transmission, stopstart system, thermal management system, pulse-width modulation and active aerodynamics, including grille shutters and air suspension. The new V6 features 42 per cent more horsepower, 13 per cent more torque and at least 20 per cent better fuel economy when compared to the previous 3.7-litre V6 powertrain. The 5.7-litre Hemi V8 with fuel-saving cylinder shut-off and VVT provide 395 hp, 407 lb/ft of torque for V8 trucks (at least 20 per cent better fuel economy when compared to 2012 V8 powertrain). Also, the Hemi delivers a claimed
best-in-class towing and payload – 11,500 pounds and 3,125 pounds respectively, with Ram 1500 Tradesman Heavy Duty. The class-exclusive eight-speed automatic transmission (TorqueFlite 8), standard equipment with 3.6-litre V6 Pentastar, doubles the amount of gears compared to previously available four-speed automatic transmission, which improves drivability and enhances fuel efficiency. The new eight-speed also is available with the 5.7-litre V8 Hemi – the company’s first application with a V8 (TorqueFlite 8 with V8 is late availability). Additionally the application of stopstart is another fuel saving feature available on select 2013 Ram 1500 models. This new system improves fuel economy by up to 3.3 per cent, an increase of about 1.6 kilometresper-gallon to the truck’s city drive cycle.

Instructors Logging Fundamentals Training Western Forest Products Inc. is currently developing an innovative program to train individuals interested in a career in the logging industry. The Company is seeking applications from individuals who would like to be considered for the two available Instructor positions required to deliver a 7-week pilot program this fall (Sept/Oct). Utilizing the WorkSafe BC “Cable Yarding Systems” and “Grapple Yarder and Supersnorkel” Handbooks as a guide, the Program is designed to provide entry level logging skills. Using a combination of classroom instruction and hands on training at an instructional logging site, the Instructors will teach the students the foundation skills of safety, environmental awareness, and job skills, necessary to be successful in both Highlead Tower and Grapple Yarding settings. The Program will be taught at the Company’s Englewood Forest Operation, located 1.5 hours north of Campbell River and 1 hour south of Port McNeill. The Instructors will be responsible to assist with finalizing the Program’s curriculum and delivery of the 2012 pilot project and the planned 2013 Program (three 7-week programs, May to October). Individuals interested in this opportunity must have extensive knowledge and experience on the operational side of the logging industry and ideally have worked as a “hooktender” during that time. Strong communication skills, patience and a demonstrated ability to teach are all necessary requirements for these positions.
