District ends school year with surplus BY JENN McGARRIGLE THE NEWS BULLETIN

Property owners wonder how tax dollars spent

VICTORIA CRESCENT businessmen feeling snubbed by DNBIA. BY TOBY GORMAN THE NEWS BULLETIN

As the deadline to pay business improvement area taxes approaches, some business and property owners say they’re unhappy with how the money is being spent. Sam Yehia, owner of the Cambie on Victoria Crescent, pays $553 annually in levies to the Downtown Nanaimo Business Improvement Association. He said he has watched as other parts of downtown Nanaimo, specifically Commercial Street, have enjoyed rejuvenation and other efforts to make downtown more attractive, while Victoria Crescent has been ignored. “Victoria Crescent has been

neglected,” said Yehia. “I feel like the bastard cousin that never gets any attention. Improved lighting goes all the way to Cavan Street and it stops. Beautification goes all the way to Commercial Street and it stops. “Flower baskets up to Victoria Crescent and then stops … it’s unnerving to say the least. I don’t know if it’s politics or what, but I do know our block gets neglected and left behind.” The DNBIA collects more than $200,000 annually in levies from business and property owners to revitalize downtown. That money is matched by Nanaimo taxpayers and allotted to the DNBIA to perform its work. The levies are proportionate to property taxes and are due on the same day. “Victoria Crescent is an area we recognize as needing revitalization and while we’re aware of some of the frustrations, it is part of our plan,” said Corry Hostetter, DNBIA general manager, noting that hanging baskets

are not a DNBIA service, though it has consulted with the city to include the crescent. “We’ve included bike racks and purchased new Christmas decorations for the street, but other areas need attention too, and with our budget we can only do so much in one area at once.” She added that the China Steps have remained a priority for the DNBIA. Yehia also said he contributed $10,000 to have lighting improved on Victoria Crescent several years ago after a study revealed that illumination there was not adequate and helped foster illegal activity such as drugs and prostitution, as well as the potential for assault and theft. In its 2005 annual report, the DNBIA (called Downtown Nanaimo Partnership Society at the time), under capital projects, approved $184,000 to install improved lighting on Victoria Crescent.

School officials expect the district to end the year with a slightly higher surplus than predicted earlier this spring. Secretary-treasurer Phil Turin expects the surplus at the end of this year will be about $2.8 million – up from the $2.3-million surplus predicted two months ago. “A lot of that has to do with some spending that hasn’t happened because of teacher job action,” he said. “That’s still a very conservative number, but I would rather be low than go up.” Turin said the district is in an unusual position this year because it received a funding protection grant, which ensured the district received the same amount in its operating budget as the previous year despite declining enrolment, funds were carefully managed throughout the year and spending on salaries, benefits and other costs is down because of the teacher job action. Earlier this year, he forecast a budget shortfall of about $2.1 million for the 2013-14 school year. The district is balancing next year’s budget with about $1.6 million of the surplus funds and trustees at Wednesday’s board meeting approved two extra expenditures using some of the surplus. The first is $72,000 to buy 12 automatic floor scrubbers, a recommendation coming out of the review of custodial services. The scrubbers are expected to speed up cleaning, reduce injuries and are more hygienic compared with a mop and bucket. Another 12 scrubbers would be acquired in the 201314 budget so all schools would have the equipment. The second added expense is $174,000 for technology upgrades, including software such as a virtual learning environment system, and network enhancement and expansion upgrades. Jamie Brennan, school board chairman, said the technology upgrades give the district the infrastructure it needs to help students succeed in the 21st century. “We’re thinking of our students, how they can be positioned to succeed in today’s world,” he said. “If you turn your back on technology, you’re handicapping your students.” The next step is to buy the hardware to support the infrastructure upgrades that IT staff have been working on – a review conducted by IBM K-12 consultants last year recommends the district buy data projectors for each teacher, up to four desktop computers per classroom and mobile computer labs for each school. The total cost of implementing the recommendations is about $3.8 million spread over five years. Brennan said with one exception, parents attending the district’s strategic planning sessions believe student access to technology is important. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Soggy June keeps fire hazard at a minimum BY JENN McGARRIGLE THE NEWS BULLETIN

Coastal Fire Centre crews have spent June hauling sandbags instead of fighting wildfires. Marg Drysdale, fire information officer, said there have been no wildfires the entire month thanks to the wet, cooler-than-normal weather. Crews have instead been sandbagging areas on flood watch or impacted by flooding on the mainland. The Coastal Fire Centre, which covers Vancouver Island and the area west of the Coast Mountain range from the Canada/U.S. border to the northern border of South Tweedsmuir Park in the Chilcotin, has had just 20 fires to date. Drysdale said the centre’s records only go back to 2001, but this is the first June since then with no fire activity. She cautions a quiet June could still mean a busy summer. In 2010, there were only eight fires in June, but 205 that year. “We’re never sure what the rest of the summer will bring,” said Drysdale. “It’s very dependent on location, very dependent on conditions.” The message she wants to get out is for the public to still be careful with their fires. She suggests that people resist the urge to build a large bonfire when it is wet out and instead bring more clothing when camping. The weather forecast is for a wet long weekend. “We should be looking at drying towards the middle of next week, starting probably Monday,” said Drysdale. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Youth that have used the program have pursued further education and some have gone on to serve on youth councils, said Elliott-Nielsen. “Youth can connect with each other to socialize and participate in workshops to learn new skills,” she said. The centre received funding for its youth programs for 12 years, up to 2009. Last year the centre wasn’t approved for funding and was awaiting word on its application for this year before the freeze was announced. It’s been difficult to allocate money for the program and Tillicum has used money from other parts of the budget to pay for it. It is also relying heavily on volunteers to work with the youth. Elliott-Nielsen said many aboriginal youth are dealing with issues of poverty, depression, employment and sexual abuse and they feel like

Genevieve Guilbert, Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada spokeswoman, said the federal department is concerned the program is not currently meeting the most pressing needs. She said it is being assessed and will be realigned with the key objective of ensuring more young aboriginal people enter the workforce. “We are working with stakeholders and are encouraged that the National Association of Friendship Centres is interested in reviewing how this important program might better equip aboriginal youth with the skills and experiences to take part in the economy,” she said. reporter3@nanaimobulletin.com

TTeen struck by car

A 17-year-old youth was airlifted to Victoria General Hospital Thursday night after he was struck by a car in downtown Nanaimo. The accident happened about 11:30 p.m. Police said their initial investigation leads them to believe the youth crossed against a “do not walk” light at Terminal Avenue and Comox Road and was hit by a car driving through the intersection on a green light. The youth was taken to Nanaimo Regional

ALMANAC

General Hospital where he was stabilized before being flown by air ambulance to Victoria. He underwent surgery for a broken femur Thursday, but also suffered other internal injuries and head trauma. Traffic was rerouted around the intersection while police conducted their investigation. Const. Sue Phillips, Nanaimo RCMP spokeswoman, said no charges are expected against the driver.

Teams from a cross section of Nanaimo businesses raised $41,000 for the foundation, June 21-22.

Association’s efforts have improved downtown ◆ From /1 It was approved ag ain in 2006 for $255,000, and in that year’s financial report it states “Victoria Crescent street lighting was approved over a period of years and installed in 2007.” Except it wasn’t. New lighting was installed, however, up Bastion Street to Fitzwilliam Street and into the Old City Quarter and

along Wesley Street in 2003. In 2007, new lighting was also installed along Commercial, Albert and Wallace streets. “I gave them money to light Victoria Crescent,” said Yehia. Capital projects such as street lighting are funded through the city. B l a ke M c G u f f i e, who sat on the DNPS

board as treasurer during that time, told the News Bulletin the board intended lighting to be installed on Victoria Crescent. In 2009, the DNPS underwent wholesale structural, staff and charter changes after barely surviving a city council initiated petition that revealed only 52 per cent of levy payers were happy with the organization.

Reaching back to move forward…

George Oliver, who also owns property on Victoria Crescent, said the $3,000 he has paid in BIA levies over the last six years could have been better spent. “I could have painted my building or improved it somehow. Instead, we’re taxed at arm’s length and we never know where the money goes. We sure don’t see it coming to Victoria Crescent,” he said. Jerry Hong, owner of The Queen’s nightclub on Victoria Crescent and board member of the DNBIA, said the

street has come a long way largely because of DNBIA efforts. “Speaking as a business owner, I feel like a lot has been done to improve this area,” said Hong. “I’m not sure what people are complaining about. There’s no crackheads there anymore, there are no drug dealers, there are no people sleeping on the sidewalk, compared to what it was before. I mean, really? If that’s n o t i m p rove m e n t , what is? The DNBIA even has its own office on Victoria Crescent.” reporter2@nanaimobulletin.com

ICBC workers ban overtime

Police hand out goodwill tickets Sometimes getting a ticket is a good thing. Nanaimo Mounties will be ticketing youth this summer to give a little extra recognition and reinforcement for showing positive behaviour, leadership skills and good work ethic. Instead of a fine, the tickets entitle them to three free admissions to swim, skate and gym sessions at Nanaimo’s recreation facilities. “This has been launched a number of times in Nanaimo, always with positive results,” said Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman. “It’s a great way to reach out to youth and have a positive interaction.”

City celebrates Canada Day

Workers for ICBC are banning overtime in the first step of targeted job action. The employees, members of Canadian Office and Professional Employees Union Local 378, haven’t had a pay increase since 2009. Earlier this year, members voted 87 per cent in favour of a strike and the union issued 72-hour strike notice Thursday. The overtime ban begins Friday (July 6). Strike action was originally delayed because ICBC applied to the Labour Relations Board to have the workers declared an essential service. Jeff Gillies, vicepresident of COPE 378, said in a press release the union will give at least 48 hours notice of future job action.

TTax increases gas prices

LATEST INSTALLMENT of carbon tax takes place Sunday (July 1). BY TOM FLETCHER BLACK PRESS

B.C.’s greenhouse gas emissions fell 4.5 per cent in the first four years of the carbon tax on fossil fuels, but most of that drop was probably the result of a world recession rather than the steadily increasing tax. Environment Minister Terry Lake released the latest emissions report Wednesday in Kelowna, insisting that B.C. is on track to meet its interim target of a sixper-cent reduction in greenhouse gases this year. The latest federal government emission figures are for 2010, and in that year B.C. emissions crept up again after two years of decline. The last scheduled increase in the carbon tax takes effect Sunday (July 1), bringing the tax on a litre of gasoline from six to seven cents. Similar increases take effect

on diesel fuel, natural gas, coal and other fuels, offset by business and personal income tax reductions to make it revenue neutral to the government as set out in the carbon tax legislation. Lake said the global financial crisis of 2008-09 is likely responsible for a three per cent drop in emissions since the carbon tax took effect. The other 1.5 per cent came as B.C. residents chose to reduce their fossil fuel use, partly due to the tax and also because of the steep increase in gasoline prices. One sign that the carbon tax is working as intended is that people are twice as likely to buy a hybrid vehicle in B.C. than in Canada as a whole, said Lake. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon announced Wednesday that the government is seeking written submissions on the future of the carbon tax until Aug. 31. The results will be used in preparation for the budget in February. “We are beginning a comprehensive review that will cover all aspects of the carbon tax,” said Falcon. editor@nanaimobulletin.com

Gleaners gear up for picking season BY BETH HENDRY-YIM THE NEWS BULLETIN

Nanaimo gleaners are getting prepped to reap the benefits of what could be a bumper crop of fruit this year. The gleaning program, run by Nanaimo Foodshare, is in its ninth year and Lee Sanmiya, gleaning program coordinator, said it should be a good one. “The fruit looks good,” she said. “The apples are fruiting nicely and the cherries look better than last year.” Gleaning is an ancient practice that at one time provided opportunities for those in need to gather leavings after harvest. According to longtime gleaning volunteer Judy Papilowski, it’s also a means today of minimizing food waste, improving food security and contributing to social service agencies, churches and individuals who may not be able to get out and pick their own fruit. “We donate to senior homes for example, and they make jams and jellies which the residents use for fundraising,” she said. Created in 2003, the program has had its ups and downs in the amount of fruit harvested. In 2008 volun-

teers picked more than 11,400 kilograms of fruit with the following year only producing 6,800 kg. “Weather, pollination and the number of people calling in with extra fruit impact how much we get,” said Papilowski. But having extra fruit isn’t the only reason people connect with gleaning teams. Papilowski said she also picks to help those who can’t harvest their own.

“Gleaners share the fruit between themselves and the owner. And though it isn’t m a n d at e d , we d o encourage our teams to give 30 per cent to non-traditional community venues like seniors homes and churches, as well as regular agencies,” said Sanmiya. Wi t h m o re t h a n 57,000 kg picked since the program’s inception, the bounty is being put to good use and spread generously around Nanaimo. “We’re always looking for fresh fruits and veggies,” said Alex Counsell, operations manager at Loaves and Fishes Community Food Bank. “Last year we got lots of baking

apples from gleaners. For people who don’t know what to do with them, we print up educational flyers.” In past years, Foodshare has of fered classes in various methods of safe food preservation, but this year, with gaming funding being cut, Sanmiya isn’t sure the classes will take place. “It’s great for people to be involved in the whole food process, from picking to preserving. It gives a real sense of accomplishment. Unfortunately, with the funding shortfall we have to scale back,” she said. The good news, along with a better crop, is the systems Sanmiya and volunteers like Papilowski have created to ensure the continuation and propagation of the program. Gleaners attend a short 45-minute orientation on picking and homeowner safety issues, equipment needed and expectations of the owner. Team leaders, who are seasoned gleaners, get a location and co-ordinate their group of pickers. After the pick, the fruit is divvied out with the donated portion dropped off at a chosen location. Though fruit is delayed by a few weeks Sanmiya is gearing up for the start of the cherry season and hopes it will be a good one. Nanaimo residents who need help harvesting fruit trees, or would like to glean, can call Sanmiya at 250-816-4769.

Dance support

Reziah Khan, of Nanaimo, performs a routine during the Bellydance Bazaar held at St. Paul’s Anglican Church Hall June 23. The event was a fundraiser for Nanaimo Haven Society and featured music and dance performances, booths with wares for sale and Lebanese food.

Partners plan environment programs Learning and adventure possibilities for children and adults will be enhanced by a partnership between Vancouver Island University and the operators of Horne Lake Caves provincial park. The university’s Milner Gardens and Woodland and the Deep Bay Marine Field Station will work with Island Pacific Adventures Ltd. to develop programs in areas of mutual interest.

Those at Milner Gardens will focus on the forest habitat/ecosystems and safety, the marine field station will cover children’s programs on the marine environment and at Horne Lake Caves, there will be geology-based programs and recreational opportunities. The three areas are about a 30-minute drive from one another. The partners hope to offer the programs in early fall.

EDITORIAL

Social services need revivingg One can picture the scene back in the early days of the B.C. Liberals’ rise to power. Freshly minted Premier Gordon Campbell and his closest confidantes locked in a backroom, flush with the success of their sweeping victory. “So boys, here’s our chance to make some big changes. The NDP has been milking the taxpayer for their friends for far too long. Where do you want to start?” “Well boss, they’ve got thousands of people on the public teat teaching each other how to make baskets and feed hot chocolate to crackheads. Let’s cut them off.” “Hmm...not a bad idea. If any people actually need help, the local communities will step up to the plate. Do it.” This scene, of course, is a creation of our imaginations, but it certainly isn’t a huge stretch given the situation facing social service agencies. Ten years of provincial cutbacks have reduced this crucial contributor to the community’s good health to crisis mode. The community has stepped up somewhat, but not enough. Municipal governments have been too busy doing the things municipal governments were created to do – build pools and municipal hall additions, cut industrial taxes and hire more bureaucrats at higher prices. Donors pinched by the economic downturn of 2008 have less to give. And even if that weren’t the case, too many needy causes have their hands out and there are only so many coins for the cup. Most of the agencies themselves have cut staff, programs and corners. They’ve found alternate ways to generate revenue. But they are barely hanging on. A community is defined by the way it treats those most in need of help. It’s time for the provincial government to give us the help we need.

Future proves worrisome at any age BY PIRJO RAITS A recent survey pointed to the fact that most older folks are not worried about aging. It appears that the youngest people taking part in the survey are more worried. Young people under 25 worried about aging? Preposterous. Maybe not. Those under 25 have good reason to be worried. When they reach retirement age, will they be able to count on the government to ease their financial burdens? Highly unlikely. So yes, they should be concerned – so concerned, in fact, that they are probably already starting to put money aside in RRSPs. Kind of sad, really, to have to be thinking today about one’s life 40 years down the road. Those of us who were children of the 1960s and ’70s had the opportunity to try all kinds of things before we settled down to raise families and contribute to society. We got to play first. Our generation was fortunate in that we never had to fight in a war like our parents or grandparents. We didn’t have to worry about recession and jobs and being able to afford a house. It was the late 1960s and the whole world was open to us. We travelled and hitchhiked around Europe, joined communes, found jobs in areas that appealed to us and generally did as we pleased. The jobs were out there for

anyone who wanted to work. Yes, there were protests, but it was most often the authorities who abused their power, not the public. Protests were about race, politics, social inequity and justice. While some things have changed, others remain the same. The young are restless, as they have always been. But young adults who graduate from university or college can no longer be assured of finding a job in their chosen field. They are inexperienced and in debt and often have to resort to poorly paid jobs – many still live with their parents because they cannot afford to live on their own. Their world isn’t looking like such a good place and they have reason to be anxious. It’s different for much of the older generation (their parents). They are still able to tap into their company pensions – adding in their government pensions, life is pretty decent for them. They can travel to sunny destinations in the winter and indulge themselves in golf games and shopping. This may well be the last generation able to enjoy a relatively carefree retirement. But while the survey states people between 55 and 64 aren’t worried, I believe many individuals in that age bracket are. Not everyone wants to spend

GUEST

COMMENT

their remaining healthy years at a part-time, low-paying job to supplement their meagre Canada Pension Plan or Old Age Security cheques. What they did manage to save won’t go that far. The government does not owe us a living any more than our parents do. What you didn’t do (like save) during your working years may come back to haunt you. Who knew? The world is changing rapidly and the technological age is shrinking the job market, rather than expanding it. Jobs are disappearing while the government tries to revamp Canada’s employment insurance to ensure Canadians get whatever jobs are out there. We can no longer count on the public service to provide jobs with life-long security. Public servants and bureaucrats have sunk some countries by being so top-heavy and weaving so much red tape that it is impossible to escape going under. It’s a worldwide phenomenon, so we can’t even escape it by moving elsewhere. This is worrisome for many folks. So really, I disagree with the survey. I think everyone is worried, no matter what their age. As Bob Dylan once sang: “For the times they are a-changin’.” ◆ Pirjo Raits is editor of the Sooke News Mirror, a Black Press newspaper.

Little value for special taxes

To the Editor, For six years I have paid property taxes after buying my building on Victoria Crescent in downtown Nanaimo’s Business Improvement Area Zone 1. In those half-dozen years, in addition to my regular property tax bill – that’s due now – I have been forced to pay an additional $3,000 in taxes toward the private Downtown Nanaimo Business Improvement Association. Over that time, all I’ve received for

the money given to the DNBIA is four trees at the end of my block strung with white light bulbs last year, likely at a cost of about $160. This is not good value for the $3,000 I’ve poured into this organization for “apparently” improving my street over the last six years. I could have done this out of my own pocket and saved $2,840. When I talk to the nearly 15 fellow property owners on the block, we figure we roughly contribute close to

$8,000 annually to the DNBIA. The city then matches our tax gouge. So $16,000 of our money goes to this small business group each and every year thanks to just this one small block. Can you imagine what we could do with just our own portion of DNBIA money to help the crescent on our own? We sure can. If this is what some call wise tax spending, we’re here to tell you it’s not. George Oliver Nanaimo

Water decision reduces choice

To the Editor, Re: Blue Community taps turned on again by council, June 28. This ‘blue’ motion was ignorant of the fact that the First Nations in Nanaimo has had its water rights on the treaty table for many years. I am in awe of how quickly a foreign group of people can walk into city council and waltz past a treaty and get the results they want in a prompt and legal manner. The general public now has a choice to buy only canned pop or juice at city venues. The reason to replace bottled water with another bottled item makes absolutely no sense when it comes to a recycling boycott. The nutritional value choices that our city leaders are promoting will lead to obesity and diabetes. To assume that our tap water is 100 per cent safe at any given time may be true at the source, but the age of the pipes that lead to the tap could dictate a different purity result.

NEWS BULLETIN FILE

Thanks to decision by Nanaimo city council, the public now only has a choice of canned pop or juice at city venues, says letter writer.

An example of this is hot water from any tap is not potable. The water that goes through a hot water tank has particles of rust and metal caused by electrolysis in the tank. This is just a small example of how particles in the system can affect the quality. Why does the city need to flush

the sediments out every year and why does the tap water turn dirty when they do this? Is treated city water as pure as filter bottled water? Is providing children with pop or juice choices better than water? Matt James Nanaimo

Electricity needed to fill demand gap To the Editor, B.C. Hydro recently updated its energy forecast for B.C., and the new numbers, contained in Hydro’s Draft Integrated Resource Plan, show that electricity demand in this province will grow by a whopping 50 per cent over the next 20 years. B.C. Hydro believes it can cover nearly one-third of the expected growth in energy demand through energy conservation. However, that still leaves two-thirds of the forecasted increase in energy demand that will need to be met with electricity from generated sources. Given that the proposed Site C dam is expected to cover 5,100 gigawatt hours per year of that demand, it means that B.C. Hydro is still going to need to find an additional 17,852 gigawatt hours of generated energy per year. That’s more than three times the total energy output of the Site C dam. Based on several available estimates of B.C.’s untapped renewable energy resources that the B.C. Citizens for Green Energy looked at, B.C.’s untapped potential for generating renewable energy is easily two to three times B.C. Hydro’s total existing hydroelectric generating capacity. In fact, during Hydro’s most recent call for clean, renewable energy in 2008, it received 68 proposals from 43 green energy producers for more than 17,000 gigawatt hours of clean, green, renewable energy per year. B.C.’s renewable green energy producers and resources are more than up to the challenge of helping meet the province’s increasing need for energy over the next two decades. And very clearly, the development of B.C.’s north offers an exciting opportunity for us to develop more abundant renewable energy resources while also creating jobs and economic opportunities across the province. Bruce Sanderson B.C. Citizens for Green Energy g

Video in city hall annex provides transparency during budget process To the Editor, At its meeting on June 18, the committee of the whole voted not to install video equipment in the new city hall annex boardroom where the committee meetings are held, but to go ahead and rough in the necessary wiring for it. The argument against going ahead with the installation was primarily on the grounds of budget. But council has an untouched contingency fund of $100,000 which would be more than adequate for this purpose.

I am sure that there are still other contingency funds associated with the annex or for the city itself which could be available. It is peculiar that council should vote to spend money on roughing in the wiring when it doesn’t lead to videos. Does council want to build the not-quite-video-bridge to nowhere? Alternatively, meetings where video equipment is already available could continue to be held in the Shaw Auditorium at a net cost of about $375 per

meeting. I am not sure of the cost when we don’t use it, but I know that we must fill the void in the conference centre budget. The money to be spent on wiring the annex would give us about a year and a half of video recorded committee of the whole meetings there. In 2013, the budget is estimated at about $171.5 million, an increase of $11.5 million over this year and a possible tax increase of about 14 per cent (one per cent represents about $800,000 in the budget) unless

other sources of money are discovered. Citizens need to be able to see and hear council as it goes into the presentations and discussions that will finalize that estimated budget and set the plan for the succeeding four years. This won’t be possible in a small room with about 16 seats for the public at a meeting at 4:30 p.m. without video access. Committee of the whole meetings are where budget/finance and city policy are discussed and decided. Citizens need to

call, e-mail or write our mayor and councillors and demand that the video equipment either be installed in the new annex boardroom now, or that the committee of the whole meetings continue in the Shaw Auditorium. The budget is the city’s most important document and city policies are a close second. It is the source of our property tax bill as well as city fees. Let’s not be frozen out of the process.

Room to grow with recycling kitchen waste BY CHRIS HAMLYN

hen helping the environment through recycling, it usually comes down to good habits by individuals willing to do their part. Recycling programs through the City of Nanaimo, Regional District of Nanaimo, the Nanaimo Recycling Exchange and other private businesses have seen thousands of tonnes of waste diverted from the Cedar landfill. One of the more successful initiatives is food waste recycling through the city’s and RDN’s green bin residential programs and the commercial food waste ban at the landfill. A ban on residential food waste at the landfill is something the RDN is looking at down the road, but there is still work to be done before that can take place. Sharon Horsburgh, RDN senior zero-waste coordinator, says the reason for targeting food waste is three-fold. “We’re saving landfill space, reducing greenhouse gases and by removing organics from the waste stream you can produce compost that can be used to create healthy soils,” she said. “It really is coming full circle and you can close that loop by being pro-active.” The green bin partnership between Nanaimo, Parksville,

THE NEWS BULLETIN

Qualicum and the RDN began in 2010 and private haulers have been collecting commercial and institutional food waste since 2005. But while those efforts have been successful, multi-family units including condominiums, townhouses and apartments have yet to come fully on stream. “Many of the townhomes are able to replicate the service levels of single-family homeowners, whereas highrises like condos and apartments present a different set of challenges,” said Horsburgh. “Those types of units are generally serviced by private haulers and it’s not something we would get into.” If a multi-family complex is interested in food waste collection, Horsburgh suggests the strata council get in touch with its hauler that already handles garbage and recycling service. BFI Canada collects food waste in the regional district and Neil Sadauskas, operations manager, says they are starting to see more interest from multifamily units. “It is a bit of a tough sell given the fact it’s not mandatory, but people are a lot more environmentally conscious now than they were even five or 10 years ago,” he said. “It’s a matter of getting used to it. Just the

same as we all got used to recycling.” Glen Tulloch, District operations manager for Waste Management – Nanaimo, says food waste collection at multi-family units is going to be the way of the future. “We have some small complexes onboard and it’s not a difficult process, though there is more to set up with stratas,” he said. “What we’ve said is just get it in place and people will use it.” But Debbie Fraess, a Nanaimo representative with the Vancouver Island Strata Owners Association, said she has not heard of a great deal of interest for multi-family kitchen waste recycling in Nanaimo and across the Island. The topic came up at her Millstone Creek condominium in Nanaimo last year and it was voted down, though she admits she is a fence sitter when it comes to the idea.

“My husband and son work for disposal companies and my son does food waste hauling for restaurants and he says it’s the only way to go,” she said. “But we have a lot of retired people or couples whose families have grown and they don’t have a lot of waste because they recycle and they have a garberator. Why would they put more money out when they literally generate one bag of garbage?” Fraess said other issues include extra space for a food waste container and traffic congestion. Sadauskas said most companies use 246-litre totes that can be wheeled out on collection day and don’t take up an extra parking space. Horsburgh said the RDN is available, if invited to help, to provide strata complexes with information on how to deal with issues. “They’re not insurmountable and through education, you can

put systems into place. It’s all about habits,” she said. “People embraced the green bin program from the get-go because we spent a lot of time educating people on how to incorporate separation into their daily routines.” She said multi-family lifestyle is one reason the RDN does not have residential food waste ban at the landfill. “Multi-family units don’t have the one-can garbage limit like single-family homes and that doesn’t provide enough incentive for extra recycling,” said Horsburgh. “But there’s this level of expectation that recycling is mainstream and we’re seeing that level evolve with food waste. “When more people have access to that service level, then we will look at the merits of banning residential food waste from the landfill. But I have to stress we’re not there yet.” news@nanaimobulletin.com

Grant boosts Habitat project

Rejuvenation of downtown Nanaimo's iconic Modern CafĂŠ catches the attention of television producers

Habitat for Humanity Mid-Vancouver Island can play a bigger part in helping the environment after receiving a $20,000 grant from the 360 Built Smart Partnership. The Home Depot Canada Foundation, Holcim (Canada) Inc. and Habitat for Humanity Canada teamed up to award more than half a million dollars in partnership grants to strengthen 27 Habitat affiliates across the country. The grants, ranging from $5,000 to $25,000, are designed to develop the infrastructure that must be in place before volunteers can build affordable housing for hard-working, low-income families. Funding helps Habitat affiliates foster strong community partnerships, attract and retain public and private partners and reach out to candidate families and provide them with the education they need to help them become successful homeowners. The Habitat MidVancouver Island grant enables the use of more green building materials and practices at build sites. Habitat continues to fundraise for its Raise the Roof campaign to build a duplex â&#x20AC;&#x201C; its 11th and 12th homes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this year. For more information on the campaign, please go to www.habitatmvi. org.

he Modern CafĂŠ f has been a landmark in the downtown of Nanaimo since 1946. The building, built in 1910, is on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community heritage register, and its neon sign is a surving example of the lighting style that brightened up the downtown core until the mid 1980s. The look and success of the Modern CafĂŠ caught the attention of the producers of the local television program, Success by Design, which recently announced a seasonal title sponsorship agreement with the iconic local restaurant. The agreement sees the show renamed to The Modern CafĂŠâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Success by Design. The program is designed to help Vancouver Island businesses succeed and offers information for entrepreneurs. It also provides a voice for local businesses to share their stories of success and showcases the many thriving business communities that call Vancouver Island home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about supporting local business,â&#x20AC;? said host Dawn Wiggers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we can connect local businesses to a local audience â&#x20AC;&#x201C; introduce them to each other â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we can positively influence the local economy and the community.â&#x20AC;? This collaboration seems an ideal fit, as Scott Cooper, owner of the Modern CafĂŠ, is no stranger to success. Since taking over the restaurant two years ago, he has completely revitalized the business â&#x20AC;&#x201C; transforming the menu, energizing the dĂŠcor, and reestablishing the Modern as a landmark hotspot in downtown Nanaimo. Although well known as one of the oldest restaurants in the

of business. Under Cooperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s management, the Modern was the first

restaurant on Vancouver Island to utilize iPad technology. Cooperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts have not gone unnoticed. At the 13th annual Sterling Business Awards, sponsored by the Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce in recognition for excellence in business, Cooper was named Business Leader of the Year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Scott is an innovative, driven business owner,â&#x20AC;? said Wiggers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s established himself as a leading figure in the community and I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be happier to welcome him onboard. Watch out, because together weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to shake things up.â&#x20AC;? As part of the sponsorship arrangement, Wiggers and her team recently produced a television commercial for the Modern, which is being featured on local broadcast this summer. The commercial â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a 1940s period piece â&#x20AC;&#x201C;was designed as homage to cafĂŠâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longstanding history in the area. Filming of the commercial, which featured local actors, period wardrobe, and classic vehicles, caused quite a stir on Nanaimoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s busy Commercial Street in May. The commercial will be featured on every episode of The Modern CafĂŠâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Success by Design. Viewers can catch show, every Thursday and Sunday on Shaw TV (Channel 4).

Building Homes For Nanaimo Lifestyles

THE RENOVATION ROADMAP Sta Start art Your Plan

Whether W hether you are renovating to improve your living space, or simply making necessary repairs to your home, careful planning lets you get the most from your home renovation dollars. The first step is to set renovation goals that reflect your lifestyle and priorities. By defining what you want to achieve, the contractors and trades you hire will be better able to deliver great results. There are a number of steps you should take to begin the planning process. First, write down your specific goals - the things you want to change in your home. Second, give some thought to both your current and future needs, so that renovations made today will accommodate changes in your lifestyle later. Third, put together a wish list of the things that must be included in the project as well as others items you’d like to include, if your budget allows. These three steps will help clarify your renovation goals and priorities - essential information when you begin talking to contractors.

Once you have set your renovation goals and priorities, you need to find the right contractor to carry out your project. The type of renovation professional you need will depend on what’s involved in your project. For simple projects involving only one activity such as replacement of roofing, siding or windows, a specialized trade contractor or contract installer may be best. If your project involves changes to your heating, electrical or plumbing systems, you should consult a licensed trade contractor. For renovation projects that will involve more than one trade or require structural changes to your home, you should look for a general renovation contractor who can manage all aspects of the work, including development of detailed plans. Regardless of the type of work involved in your project, you need to make sure that any contractor you hire has the necessary skill and experience to do the job right. Professional contractors run their businesses properly, have a track record of satisfied customers and will provide you with customer references upon request. To get the names of contractors in your community, contact our local Home Builders’ Association. You can also often get contractor leads from friends and neighbours who have carried out renovations similar to those you plan.

Qualicum and Richmond have followed the example of other municipalities and given out inexpensive devices that turn regular toilets into far more efficient dual-flush units, paying for the program by reduced costs (water supply and especially sewage treatment) in only eight months. Other steps have further reduced the amount of wasted water. Nanaimo enjoyed significant water savings once metering began. Imagine if this city were to follow the lead of other municipalities and invested in strong water reducing measures, rather than into a new dam? The additional cost savings to our sewage treatment would multiply the benefits. Meanwhile, kudos to Woodgrove Centre for replacing their toilets and harvesting rainwater from the mall’s roof, using it for their shrubs and for car washing.

Isn’t it our turn to lower taxes and be more sustainable? ◆ Ian Gartshore chairs the non-profit Energy Solutions for Vancouver Island.

Realty Executives Mid Island 503 Comox BC V9R 3J2 250-753-9688

At Aspengrove School we aim to provide the best educaƟon for each of our students to ensure that when they graduate, they will be truly prepared for their university experience and beyond. PreparaƟon for university is not just about obtaining the place at university (that’s the easy part!), it’s how well a student will succeed during his/her Ɵme at university. How will he/she cope with university life: self discipline; Ɵme management; assignment compleƟon; self-advocacy? Will he/she have the conĮdence and skill set necessary to navigate the highly compeƟƟve world of higher educaƟon? As Aspengrove School enters its tenth year of operaƟon, we have graduated Įve classes of grade twelve students. Our graduaƟon rate is 100% and we can proudly boast of the achievement of those graduates. How can we conĮdently claim that we oīer the best educaƟon? We can support this claim because at Aspengrove School we oīer the world renowned InternaƟonal Baccalaureate (IB) programme – truly the best educaƟonal programme available for preparing students for the 21st century (www.ibo.org). Beginning in Junior Kindergarten (3) we oīer the Primary Years Programme (PYP) to grade Įve; followed by the Middle Years Programme (MYP) from grades 6 – 10 and we plan to add the IB Diploma Programme for grades 11 and 12, just as soon as our applicaƟon has been approved by the IB organizaƟon (stay tuned!). As we work through the implementaƟon of the IB Diploma Programme (a two year process), our current grade 11 & 12 students have the opportunity to take a select number of AP (Advanced Placement) university level preparatory courses (www.ap.ca). Our average results for the past three years have been a 3 or higher. This year, as a result of their achievements, our ten graduates have collecƟvely accumulated over $200,000 worth of scholarships and the oīers are sƟll coming in! We are proud that in our short history, Aspengrove graduates are represented at the following post-secondary insƟtuƟons: Vancouver Island University University of Victoria Queen’s University University of Waterloo Langara College University of BriƟsh Columbia Emily Carr University University of Portland University of Alberta Quest University The Academy of Art University, San Francisco At Aspengrove School not only do we insƟll a love of learning in our students but our teachers also conƟnue to pursue opportunity for professional growth. This year we are proud to acknowledge the graduaƟon of Įve of our teachers from various Master’s programmes. CongratulaƟons to our Aspengrove Graduates for successfully compleƟng their programmes. We wish them well for the next phase of their educaƟonal journey.

Traded players revitalize rivalry I

T-MEN LOSE 14-8 to Victoria Shamrocks.

BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

A blockbuster trade earlier this month added all kinds of oomph to what would have otherwise been a meaningless game. The Victoria Shamro ck s d e f e at e d t h e Nanaimo Timber men 14-8 on Wednesday in B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League action at Frank Crane Arena, but the score was secondary. The game was most notable in that it was the first meeting between the teams since they were involved in a five-player trade two weeks ago. Only two of the five were in action, but those two made an impact. Paul Brebber had two assists for the Shamrocks while Nick Sanderson had a hat trick for the T-men. “We tried to stick to our plan, just keep firing the ball. The shots were close but we took advantage of our opportunities and put the ball in the back of the net more than they did,” said Brebber. Sanderson said his team could have played more aggressively, and seemed intimidated. “I just don’t think we came ready to play as hard as they wanted to play, but all in all we didn’t roll over, which was a good thing,” Sanderson said. “It was a good effort but we just didn’t capitalize on our opportunities.”

Nanaimo Timbermen player Alex McDougall, left, is high-sticked by Victoria Shamrocks opponent Paul Brebber during Wednesday’s B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League game at Frank Crane Arena. The visitors won 14-8.

Sanderson sure capitalized, as he finished off his hat trick in the third period on a pretty play in which he weaved through the Shamrocks defence to get to the front of the crease. “I wasn’t expecting three [goals], but I got the first two and I said, well, I might as well go for the hat trick,” he said. He was able to laugh and joke with his former ’Rocks teammates, but he approached the game against Vic seriously.

“It was really important,” Sanderson said. “I just wanted to show them that they made a mistake and they shouldn’t have traded me.” Brebber said he was trying pretty hard to score on his for mer team, too, and said he’d been looking forward to Wednesday’s game. “Right when I heard about the trade I thought about how we had one more g ame ag ainst Nanaimo and I was pretty excited to play

it,” he said. The physical forward said he checked the T-men just like he would any other team. “I’m not going to take advantage of them and hurt them or anything like that because they are my buddies and I’m not going to disrespect them like that,” he said. “And I’m not going to take it easy on them because I do not want to lose.” Sanderson had three assists to go with his three goals and Bry-

son Weberg had two for Nanaimo. Other T-men scorers were Stu Mills, Adam Backular-Evans and Brett F leming. Nanaimo outshot Vic 52-47. Former Shamrock Cory Mayzes suffered the loss for the home team.

Pirates play well enough for slim win The Nanaimo Pirates might have been a little overconfident against the Parksville Royals, but it didn’t matter – they won anyway. The Hub City Paving Pirates (26-7) beat the lastplaced Royals (8-23) on Wednesday in Parksville by a 2-0 score. “It wasn’t Pirate baseball, it wasn’t what we wanted to accomplish when we came out to the field, but it was good enough,” said Doug Rogers, Pirates manager. “Every now and again this happens. They get one run, the pitcher’s dealing on the mound a little bit, they feel confident that we can hold the fort with a run or two.” That was the case Wednesday as starter Alex Rogers cruised, scattering three hits and one walk and striking out 11 in a complete game. He said his goal was to get a strike with his first pitch of every Royals at-bat. “I was pretty good at that today,” he said. “After getting strike one you can mix around with pitches and kind of play around with how they’re going to swing. So I was feeling really confident out there.” Nate Odgers led the offence with two RBIs, Brady Rogers was 2-for-2 and Bryan Odgers hit a double.

Athletes set blistering pace This past month may not have been the driest, but that didn’t stop members of the Nanaimo Track and Field Club from turning in impressive performances. After successfully hosting the Elwood Wylie Meet near the end of May, athletes from the local club travelled to compete at several events in June. My thanks to NTFC president Tyler Heisterman, as well as club representatives Terri Doughty and Sherri Clare, for their diligence in passing along results… Early this month was the Garriock Meet held in Duncan, which incorporated Zone 6 B.C. Summer Games Trials for midget (aged 14-15) athletes. The Nanaimo club sent over 70 members to compete, including 13 midget-aged members. Of those, eight from Nanaimo were chosen to the Zone 6 Summer Games team. Josh Bailey was selected for 1,200 metres and 2,000m, Jason Clare for triple jump, long jump and pole vault and Carter Higgins for 800m, 200m hurdles and 1,500m steeplechase. Rachel Jerome earned selection in long jump and triple jump, Amy Morris in 2,000m and Alyssa Mousseau in 300m, 800m and 1,200m. Jenaya Pynn qualified for the Zone 6 team in 300m and 800m and Charlie Andrews in 100m, 200m and shot put. Those athletes will now take part in the Games to be held July 19-22 in Surrey.
