Food bank eyes future I

STRATEGIC PLAN helps meet needs of city’s hungry.

Every week, someone new will shuffle through the door, eyes downcast, with shoulders hunched in embarrassment. “They can’t believe it’s come to this,” said Peter Sinclair, executive director of Loaves and Fishes Community Food Bank. One of the eight locations for food pickup in the community will see new clients – people who are recently unemployed, laid off or facing an unexpected health issue. But Sinclair hopes with changes to food bank distribution, administration and client services that one day he won’t have a job to go to at the food bank. “We shouldn’t be here,” Sinclair said. “We’re here because there’s a problem in the community.” About six months ago, the board, which oversees operation of the non-profit society, began implementing its strategic plan. Looking at the big picture is often a challenge while meeting the day-to-day needs of clients, Sinclair said. “We want to keep our eye on where we want to be two to three years from now,” Sinclair said. “The most tangible one is the community garden out back.” The food bank secured a grant to hire a summer stu-

dent, Jesse Alexander, to build garden boxes at the rear of the Farquhar location. “We showed him a big, concrete space and said, ‘transform it’,” Sinclair said. “In three weeks, there’s plants.” Alexander, a geography student at Vancouver Island University with a construction background, secured donations of lumber, soil and plants for the project. “The community’s been pretty helpful,” he said. The produce grown from the garden might not make a dent in the food budget, but add-

ing greenspace and a place for clients to sit and talk is invaluable at treating people as humanely as possible. “It’s not just food it produces,” Sinclair said. The food bank also changed distribution to two weeks instead of one, allowing the organization to buy in bigger volume, like four-litre jugs of milk instead of two. “There’s significant cost savings there, while providing more milk for our clients,” Sinclair said. It also reduces congestion at the community distribution locations, which are up

to eight, including a Saturday option for people who work during the week. A new software system allows the organization to see how many people are in a household and provide food accordingly. Previously, a family received the same amount of food whether there was one child or several. Partnering with other nonprofit community organizations, like FoodShare and Nanaimo Women’s Resource Centre, helps connect food with people who need it. ◆ See ‘FOOD’ /4

The Department of National Defence will be cracking down on hikers, runners and mountain bikers who illegally trespass on its property behind Westwood Lake by issuing tickets and even laying charges. Sara Helmeczi, spokeswoman for CFB Esquimalt, said the DND is taking a tougher stand to protect the public from potential harm. The military and RCMP use the land as a rifle range, which requires a large buffer zone to guard against stray bullets. DND trespass signs and barbed wire have been stolen or removed over the last several years, resulting in illegal trail building and increased public infiltration into the area. “We’re not changing our policy, the land has always been DND property and it has always been illegal to trespass on it,” said Helmeczi. “They were never open, they were never official trails. We’ve had signs up for years but they keep getting stolen, so we’re not putting up new signs, we’re just replacing the ones that are missing.” Because of the dangers and the increase in trespassing, more military police will be patrolling the property and issuing fines and tickets. “It’s a rifle range so safety is our No. 1 concern. We can’t have people wandering back there not knowing they’re getting close to that range because military activities can start up at any moment,” she said. The sudden crackdown came as a surprise to Nanaimo’s running, hiking and mountain bike communities. ◆ See ‘DECISION’ ‘ /6

City puts lid on booze in locker room

These bears aren’t cuddly

city scene

Guilty plea offered by tanker driver A Nanaimo man pleaded guilty to two charges in the Western Communities Courthouse on Thursday related to last year’s fuel truck crash outside Goldstream Park. James Charles Allen Smith pleaded guilty to one regulatory charge under the Fisheries Act for depositing gasoline and diesel into water frequented by fish. On his criminal charges, Smith pleaded guilty to dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. He was originally charged with four other counts (two criminal, two environmental) which will be stayed following sentencing. Neither Smith nor his lawyer, Dale Marshall, would comment outside the courthouse, with Marshall saying he will wait until sentencing, likely in September, before making a statement. The case is due back in court on Aug. 28 for a presentencing report.

PEOPLE CAN stay safe, avoid encounters.

THE NEWS BULLETIN

Bears mate in May and June to time the births of their cubs when they are preparing a den for the winter. It’s a survival tactic, like finding easy food. Combine the search for a mate with a taste for garbage and other easy food sources, such as bird feeders, and bears and humans start having runins, especially in urban/ wild interface areas where human neighbourhoods encroach into a bear’s regular stomping grounds. “When they’re doing this we get a rash of sightings and bears coming into interface areas and even across the highway into town,” said Steve Ackles, Nanaimo region field conservation officer. Human/bear encounters are average this year with around 250 calls, ranging from bear sightings, bear encounters and a small percentage of nuisance bears between Chemainus and Buckley Bay since April 1. Of bears that wander into human neighbourhoods, a few will become habituated to garbage,

New directors on airport board There are a number of new faces on the board of the Nanaimo Airport Commission. Russ Burke takes over as chairman, Joe Burnett is the representative for the Town of Ladysmith and Michael Kandert represents the City of Nanaimo for three-year terms. The commission consists of nine directors and a past chairperson. Four directors represent the community at large and five represent the City of Nanaimo, the regional districts of Nanaimo and Cowichan Valley, the Town of Ladysmith and the Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce. Other members of the commission include John Craig, Dixon Kenny, Al Tully, Lucie Gosselin and past chairman Jerry Pink.

tation should not be considered by the sentencing judge in determining whether to extend the period of parole ineligibility,” wrote Justice Anne MacKenzie in her written reasons for judgment. Purdy’s sentence falls within the appropriate range for parole ineligibility given the circumstances in which the crime was committed, states the decision. Denise Purdy was stabbed 21 times on her way to a bus stop on Dec. 12, 2003, and died of her injuries.

The city’s liquor licence has been reinstated following a suspension by the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch, but the tradition of having a cold one in the dressing room after a game will no longer be tolerated. In March, a provincial liquor inspector found the city to be in violation of its liquor licence after some players were discovered drinking beer beyond the Nanaimo Ice Centre’s designated beer gardens. The violation resulted in a four-event liquor suspension – the brunt of the penalty was incurred by lacrosse teams. The licence was reinstated June 27. The city also had to pay a $1,000 fine. As a response, on June 26 the Parks, Recreation and Culture Commission adopted a zero-tolerance policy for out-of-bounds alcohol at city facilities. “Most arenas on the Island have some sort of policy that staff can use as far as alcohol in the facility goes,” said Suzanne Samborski, Nanaimo’s senior manager for recreation and culture. “Nanaimo hasn’t had a policy so what this does is give us a tool to manage the arenas and to ensure we’re in compliance with our primary liquor licence. We’re not looking for our staff to become alcohol police, we’re just implementing a tool should the situation arise.” Groups that have historically imbibed after ice time on public property are being asked to respect the new policy to prevent further suspensions. The liquor control branch has indicated it will increase its random inspections to ensure laws are being followed.

Bear sightings in wildlife interface areas tend to increase at this time of year, so recent encounters with humans aren’t anything out of the ordinary.

fruit crops, pet food and bird feeders. Some bears become addicted to what amounts to easy meals and even become aggressive if confronted. The situation can lead to homeowners and pets being injured or the bear destroyed. Ackles said he currently has one trap set in Nanaimo’s Jingle Pot Road area for a bear that has become too comfortable around humans. He said the toughest part of his job can be edu-

cating homeowners about bear safety and how to manage trash and other attractants. “If they’re not managing their attractants, it almost seals the bear’s fate,” he said. “It just moves closer into town, its behaviour goes from being afraid of humans to just indifferent, to becoming defensive of human food sources.” If people keep their garbage and recycling secured, leave bird feed-

ers empty and barbecues clean, bears are not rewarded with easy food and will often return to their native habitats in search of natural food sources. Where bears are sighted in neighbourhoods, conservation officers try to educate residents, but can also fine homeowners who fail to comply. The fine is $230 for attracting and feeding dangerous wildlife. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

Convicted killer Purdy has his parole appeal dismissed BY JENN McGARRIGLE THE NEWS BULLETIN

A man convicted of murdering his estranged wife in Nanaimo eight years ago had an appeal to reduce his 19-year period of parole ineligibility dismissed by the B.C. Court of Appeal. Kelvin Purdy was convicted of second-degree murder for killing Denise Purdy and sentenced in November 2005 to life imprisonment with no chance of parole for 19 years. His request that his period

of parole ineligibility be reduced to 12-15 years was dismissed by a panel of B.C. Court of Appeal justices June 21. This was the third time Purdy has put his case before B.C.’s appeal court. In the latest application, Purdy’s lawyer argued that the sentencing judge erred by relying on the appellant’s lack of remorse and poor prospects for rehabilitation and that such error produced a sentence outside the appropriate range. “I disagree with the appellant that an offender’s prospects for rehabili-

Woodstove heat starts garage fire

Tuesday, July 3, 2012 Nanaimo News Bulletin

Youths play at world-record pace

BY JENN McGARRIGLE

STREET HOCKEY game wraps up tonight (July 3).

THE NEWS BULLETIN

Firewood stacked too close to a woodstove caused a fire in a central Nanaimo garage early Friday. Crews were called out to the blaze in a detached garage on St. David Crescent around 1:50 a.m. Ennis Mond, fire i nve s t i g a t o r w i t h Nanaimo Fire Rescue, said there were flames showing at the back of the building upon arrival. Once the blaze was extinguished, he found a pile of burnt firewood stacked close to the woodstove. Radiant heat caught the wood on fire which travelled up the pile to a shelf of lawn furniture and some plastic totes before going through the roof. “It took basically the back corner, the back wall out, the roof,” said Mond. Everything in the garage was damaged by heat and smoke and the homeowner had no insurance, he added. F i re c rew s a l s o responded to a mattress fire on Rosehill Street Friday morning and an electrical fire on Bowen Road Thursday caused by improper use of an extension cord. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Brighton Bartlett, left, of the University Village team, takes a shot on net against goalie Will Cook of the CUPE B.C. team during the first day of the Save-On-Foods Longest Street Hockey Game on Friday at the Lions’ Sport Centre outside the Nanaimo Curling Centre.

If Nanaimo’s street hockey players are going to set a world record, they’re going to do it right. There were slapshots and sprinting and not a hint of slacking off during the first day of the Save-On-Foods Longest Street Hockey Game. “I can’t speak for the 105hour mark, whether it’s going to be good or not, but right now it’s a good game of hockey,” said Tali Campbell, event organizer. The record attempt began at 3 a.m. Friday morning, and the 40 participants intend to play in rotating shifts for 105 hours, 17 minutes. If all goes according to plan, the record will fall today (July 3) at 5:17 p.m. “It’s going to be a challenge for everyone whether this can get done,” Campbell said. Already in the first eight hours there were cramps, sore ankles, a high stick that drew blood and even a

heart palpitation. “Things that we’ll deal with,” Campbell said. “We’re learning the process.” Players recognize they might need to scale back the intensity. On the first day there were a handful of guys intent on being the game’s top scorer. “The first 15 minutes of [the] first shifts were intense craziness,” Campbell said. “Now they’ve slowed down and I believe their pace is just perfect for Guinness World Records.” Tellissa Bennett, the only female player, said she’s more confident now about being able to play for 105 hours than she was when she started. “We know what we’re dealing with now,” she said. “[I’m] really tired but still exhilarated. Ready to have fun, ready to do it, break the record.” Campbell hopes for continued cheers outside the Nanaimo Curling Centre as the hours add up. “We just need the community to come out and support the teams,” he said. “They’re not going to break the record without the community.” sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Decision surprises groups ◆ From /1 Many members of those groups have spent hundreds of hours building trail networks behind Westwood Lake, assuming it was OK because the trails had been used without incident for years. Westwood Ridge, arguably the city’s most scenic and popular trail, is now off limits. Norm Thibault, owner of Frontrunners, said not having access to the trails eliminates

one of the best areas in the city for outdoor recreation. In the News Bulletin’s annual Best of the City published last month, readers named the Westwood trails the best in Nanaimo. “When people refer to Westwood Lake area they’re not talking about just the proper six-kilometre trail around Westwood Lake,” said Thibault. “They’re talking about the general area which

includes [Morrell Sanctuary], Westwood Ridges, and all the way up to Mount Benson and that’s what they’re referring to when they say that’s the No. 1 area for running in Nanaimo.” Two key running events take place on the trails as do regular hiking groups and the Bastion City Wand e re r s, N a n a i m o ’s VolksSport group.

DND property, as does Fletcher’s Challenge. Both require DND permission, which hasn’t been a problem in the past. “They’ve always been very accommodating when it comes to these events, but I don’t see how we can use those trails now if there is barbed wire running across them,” said Thibault. Mark Perdue, spokesman for the Nanaimo Mountain Bike Club, said he understands the safety concer n, but there has been no opportunity to discuss alternatives with the DND. “This has probably been the biggest wall we’ve hit so far,” he said. “The response we got was a flat no and that they’re not interested in working with us because this is a safety issue. “Our view is that there isn’t really a safety issue because so many people have been riding and hiking for so long without incident. We’re not really sure what the safety issue is because they haven’t told us.” Helmeczi said posting a schedule when the range is being used isn’t an option because there is no set schedule – military or RCMP training can commence at the facility at any given time. “We don’t want to appear heavy-handed, but want people to know it’s an out-of-bounds area for good reason,” she said. reporter2@nanaimobulletin.com

Reforestation plan needed for recovery BY TOM FLETCHER BLACK PRESS

Live music regales the crowds throughout the day and international food vendors provide a variety of tasty dishes. Dragonboat memorabilia and hand-crafted items are available for purchase, and face painting and kid’s events will keep the young ones occupied and entertained throughout both days. Ninety per cent of the funds raised from race fees, beer garden, candle sales and donations will be donated to the hospital foundation with 10 per cent dedicated to Nanaimo Hospice Society. “We can’t celebrate those who survived breast cancer without also supporting those who are passing,” said Heiko Behn, a director on the festival board. Sunday features more events including a beer garden, carnation dedication, Pepsi Challenge, music, an Elvis impersonator and the closing ceremony. For further information and event listing please, visit www.nanaimodragonboat. com.

One million hectares of B.C. forest land may need to be replanted to help recover from widespread fire and bark beetle problems, according to a new report from the B.C. government’s Forest Practices Board. The report estimates the entire area that may need replanting at two million hectares, out of the 95 million hectares of total forest land in B.C. But about 500,000 hectares of that is the legal responsibility of the forest companies that logged it, and the government has plans in place to replant another 250,000 hectares. “Decisions about whether to replant areas where mountain pine beetle and fires have killed most of the trees will have an impact on the future timber supply,” said Al Gorley, board chairman. “At a minimum, if nature is left to take its course, the eventual crop of timber in those areas will be delayed.” The board, an independent watchdog of the B.C. government, is critical of the way the government defines “not satisfactorily restocked” forest land. The definition only applies to areas designated for timber harvest. Even within this 22 million-hectare timber supply area, there are large areas affected by fire or pests, but the report notes that the ministry’s survey data on these areas are not sufficient to be certain of their tree survival or recovery. “There has been only a limited amount of reforestation effort directed at mature beetle-affected forests because those areas might still be harvested by the forest industry,” the report says. The ministry announced regulatory changes Tuesday to promote salvage of wood waste for producing wood pellets and other “bio-products,” including electricity, fuels, plastics, solvents, lubricants and food additives. The regulations are aimed at providing access to smaller trees, tops and branches that are piled at logging sites and roads when sawlogs are taken out. They authorize new salvage licences that do not allow the harvest of standing trees.

Sixty-nine teams registered to participate in the annual Save-On-Foods Nanaimo Dragon Boat Festival this weekend in the harbour. The event raises money for the Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation to help with early diagnosis of breast cancer.

Dragons churn waters of Nanaimo Harbour BY BETH HENDRY-YIM THE NEWS BULLETIN

ragons churn up the waters of Nanaimo Harbour this weekend (July 6-8) in an epic battle against breast cancer. The annual Save-On-Foods Nanaimo Dragon Boat Festival is expected to draw thousands of people to Maffeo Sutton Park to watch dragonboat crews race while taking in live music, testing international food flavours, enjoying family and kid-friendly entertainment and most importantly, celebrating and supporting those touched by breast cancer. In its ninth year, the event boasts a diverse collection of teams and paddlers from kids to seniors, breast cancer survivors to those battling the disease. “Most of the people participating have been affected by breast cancer in some way,” said Paul Shorting, vicepresident of the Nanaimo Dragon Boat Festival Society. “It’s a great way to connect with the community and offer support.”

Focused on raising money for the Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation to help with the early diagnosis of breast cancer, the festival has raised more than $500,000 since its inception in 2003. “The event shows Nanaimo in such a good light,” said Maeve O’Byrne, president of the foundation. “They are our major donor and have helped purchase diagnostic equipment for the imaging department.” Sixty-nine teams are registered, 24 from off Island – 10 that have participated since the inaugural race – for a total of nearly 1,700 paddlers. Holly Wylie, team member of Nanaimo’s Nusa’lon Dragons said when they race, they are paddling for the thousands of women and men who have survived breast cancer. “It’s incredibly rewarding,” she said. Wylie, who is currently training to make the Canadian national dragon boat team heading to Hungary in 2013, became involved in racing after losing her best friend and soulmate.

“I was very affected by my friend’s passing. When I heard about the dragon boat race supporting early detection of breast cancer I decided to try it. I was hooked from the beginning,” she said. She said when your boat crosses the finish line and the helmsman cries, ‘let it run’ time slows, nothing else matters, and the present is all you see and feel. Festivities begin Friday at 3 p.m. at Swy-a-lana Lagoon with the traditional awakening the dragon ceremony and Chinese lion dance. At 9 p.m. paddlers and the public can participate in an emotional tribute to those who have died from the disease. Special candles are lit and then released into the lagoon where waves and wind gently rock and blow the luminaries across the water. “It’s a beautiful sight and a chance for quiet reflection on how we honour those who have left,” said Wylie. After a pancake breakfast on Saturday, racing starts at 8 a.m., with four teams competing at 10-minute intervals.

EDITORIAL

Today’s actions p g costlyy proving We’ve all seen at least one of them – the bumper sticker on a trailer or RV that reads, “I’m spending my grandchildrens’ inheritance.” It’s supposed to be funny or clever or otherwise amusing, but it’s not. It’s true. We’re burning their oil, polluting their water, spending their money and generally wrecking their planet – and they won’t thank us for it. Back in 1992, the International Institute for Sustainable Development made a point of calling for governments to look down the road. “We cannot simply think of our survival; each new generation is responsible to ensure the survival of the seventh generation. The prophecy given to us, tells us that what we do today will affect the seventh generation and because of this we must bear in mind our responsibility to them today and always.” The idea of looking seven generations down the road is a key component we should all be thinking about particularly hard these days as the climate continues to change and our leaders and the power structures that support them seem not only unable but also entirely unwilling to do anything about it. In fact, the Canadian government is rolling back even the entirely insufficient measures that have been taken in a race to develop and export as much of Canada’s rich resource heritage as quickly as possible. There’s a good reason for that, of course. Our corporate culture demands the maximization of profit and it demands it now. Future generations – those little tykes wearing the short pants on the tricycles in the backyard – they don’t count for pretty much anything. We should think about why that is and what we can do about it. We’re running out of time to make the changes they need.

Drivers should learn road behaviour BY BRITTANY LEE With summer officially upon us and warmer weather hopefully on its way, the number of cars and, perhaps, impatient drivers on the streets will soon rise. While police were out enforcing a tougher watch for high-risk drivers throughout May, it’s clear that many drivers still haven’t got the message. As a fairly new driver – yes, that’s an ‘N’ displayed at the back of my car – I’d like to think that not only I, but other drivers around me, obey the rules of the road and make an effort to drive safely, no matter what time of the year. That means staying within the legal speed limit, being attentive while driving and not giving in to road rage. I only recently started driving on a daily basis, and I’m continuously amazed by the things I see drivers around me do. Just last week, I was driving to work and while stopped in traffic, I saw a young man drive past me. He didn’t catch my eye because of his charming looks, he caught my eye because he had ear buds in his ears while driving. Is it not enough to have the radio playing during your morning commute? Having earphones in can’t be safe, nor smart. Not only are you putting yourself at risk, you’re putting other drivers around you in danger as well.

Another act I’ve witnessed, on many counts, is drivers texting and talking on the phone. While I’ll admit to sending a text or two when stopped at a red light, I could never imagine texting while driving, let alone holding a phone to my ear and steering simultaneously. Maybe some people are just better at multi-tasking than I am, but not only is using your phone while driving illegal, it’s also just plain stupid. The thing about this situation that frightens me the most is when people talk and text while on the highway. It’s annoying enough when people tailgate me while I am going the legal 80 km/h. But having a tailgater who’s talking on their phone behind me makes me feel anything but safe on the road. One of the biggest problems I’ve noticed is drivers who switch lanes at the last possible second. Rather than planning their trip and knowing which lane they need to be in to make a left turn ahead, for example, drivers choose to wait. Then before they reach the traffic light, they suddenly squeeze past two lanes of traffic just to make that turn. If more drivers mapped out their route, or maybe knew where they’re going, fewer rash decisions would be made on the road. Drivers who recklessly weave

GUEST

COMMENT

in and out of lanes, simply because they’re impatient or in a hurry, are another problem. If it’s rush hour and everybody is stuck in traffic, driving in and out of lanes won’t get you any further than anyone else. According to ICBC, almost 60 per cent of crashes are caused by speeding and distracted drivers. Distracted driving is defined as using communicative or video equipment while operating a vehicle, as well as inattentive driving. High-risk driving includes failing to yield right of way, tailgating, improper passing and speeding. Speeding seems to be one habit drivers just can’t drop. I don’t think I go a day without witnessing a driver zoom past me, whether on the highway or in a 50 km/h zone. Unless speeding up is necessary to safely pass a car, drivers shouldn’t let their impatience rule their decision-making. Just as drivers shouldn’t let dumb decisions, such as texting while driving, determine how safe roads are for others. Laws exist for a reason. And unless we want our next paycheque to go toward paying for a speeding ticket, or worse, a hospital bill, it’s important to re-evaluate our driving habits and make an effort to drive safely. ◆ Brittany Lee is a reporter intern with the Victoria News, a Black Press newspaper.

Deal far from beneficial to students

To the Editor, Re: One-year deal doesn’t solve main issues, June 28. Despite the fact that I face considerable punitive measures directly and indirectly, as a parent and a teacher I will be voting no to the ‘deal’ struck between the Clark government and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. There are a number of reasons for my decision, but fundamentally, it is because the students of this province get absolutely nothing from this. Class sizes continue to be astronomically high and support for special needs

children continues to be culled. To offer me Viagra and birth control pills as a bribe would be insulting if it wasn’t so comical. I find it ironic that the same government that wants to implement anti-bullying workshops for teachers, continues to hold a knife to my throat and that of my students. This is a province that, over the past 12 years, has systematically targeted teachers, families and students. I notice the timely removal of ‘Coast Saver’ rates on B.C. Ferries just as children are disgorged from school so families wanting to travel are

targeted to pay 30 per cent more for the privilege. In B.C., students pay sales taxes, and can’t vote until 18, but when children turn 12 they pay adult fares (on the ferries). Meanwhile, David Hahn, who worked only part of the year, received $1.1 million in salary, incentive bonus pay and pension benefits when he retired, despite the corporation making a loss in 2011. And something is wrong when the government funds private education to the tune of 30-50 per cent per enrolled student, but reduces support for public education.

I suppose eroding the public education system saves money in the same way eroding health care has done. The name and shame ‘bad teacher’ website recently launched by the government’s aptly named Teacher Regulation Branch is an indication that our leaders haven’t progressed much since the Victorian era: victimize and shame those teachers that need help rather than treat or support them. How is this beneficial to anyone, least of all the students or teachers concerned? Paul Nixon Nanaimo

Rising gasoline prices play havoc on society To the Editor, Re: Recent gasoline prices points to gouging, Letters, June 26. I’m in full agreement with Petra Tschauner’s letter in the June 26 Bulletin. I have no idea why gas prices are so high but I do know that I gassed up at a Co-op service station in Langford, full serve, at 112.9 /litre on June 16 and came home the same day to Nanaimo where Co-op is asking 137.9/l. Any explanations from the oil companies? I certainly would be interested in hearing them. When the working people pay so much for gas to get themselves to work to support their families, they have to cut something in their already tight budgets. The same for the unemployed or retired that must get to appointments or do their shopping. This takes food off tables for many. Children are doing with less because of the greed. Elderly folks are being pinched even more financially. This also gives grocery stores an excuse to raise their prices. I do believe that all things come full circle and each of us is responsible for our actions,

Efforts by rescuers a shameful disgrace To the Editor, Heads must roll over the massive rescue screw-ups at the Elliot Lake, Ont., shopping centre disaster. When a mall collapses on people Saturday, and at least one person is heard tapping for help Sunday and Monday, you do not call off the search. You do not say it’s now a ‘recovery’ operation. How excruciatingly painful it must have been for the husband and father of the woman who was likely still alive at that time. While no one wants rescuers injured or killed sifting through debris, structural engineers and rescue officials should have been flown in from across Ontario and Canada immediately to assess the situation and see what other ways of rescue could be found. Until grassroots public pressure increased, it looked as if

government officials or politicians did not care to step in. I commend the everyday folk of Elliot Lake who shouted and threatened to storm the mall and offered to search themselves. Militaries around the world adhere to a code of never leaving one of their own behind. This should hold true for any Canadian citizen. Governments should be there to help us. Kevan Shaw Nanaimo

Pipeline propaganda just brainwashing To the Editor, Here we go again with more brainwashing on television about the oil industry. It’s not our provincial government this time, more likely our federal government and of course promoting the Northern Gateway pipeline to catastrophe. They say its for the future, but whose future? Certainly not B.C.’s. We will be left with leaking pipelines and collision-damaged tankers. I am not an environmentalist, but surely there comes a time

B.C. should explore all its energy options To the Editor, Given the high cost of building new energy generating infrastructure, energy conservation is therefore clearly the least expensive way to meet any growth in energy demand. Unfortunately, energy demand in B.C. and around the world is set to grow rapidly over the next couple of decades, and energy conservation on its own is not going to be sufficient to satisfy that demand. A big difference in this province is that we have the fortune to pick and choose from an almost limitless assortment of renewable energy resources. I hope we avail ourselves of these renewable energy resources, creating jobs while also keeping ourselves on the green path to continued prosperity. Charles Davis White Rock

Council made a decision for city’s future To the Editor, Re: Blue Community taps turned on again by council, June 28. I commend city council for taking a stand and designating Nanaimo as a Blue Community. This decision will benefit citizens today and future generations. Some people are confused about the bottled water resolution, but it merely reaffirms the values inherent in the first two resolutions. If council believes that water is a human right and that municipal water systems should not be privatized for profit, then it follows that the city should promote the excellent water it provides and not be profiting from the sale of single use bottled water where clean tap water is available. People will still be able to bring bottled water to city facilities and consume or give it away. The city is looking into bottle filling stations with filtered water, similar to those installed at facilities in many other communities. To justify voting against the ban, Coun. George Anderson referenced the concept of ‘timeless freedoms’ ensuring the freedom of future generations through proactive action taken today. Do we have a ‘timeless freedom’ to continue trashing the planet or is it time to be more rational? I think future generations are going to shake their head at the concept of digging up fossil fuels to create plastic bottles, which are trucked around, burning more non-renewable resources so that people can drink water from them and then discard them. Reduce is the first R. We have oceans and landfills full of plastic. Thanks for some sanity. Paul Manly l Mid Island chapter Council of Canadians

The Valley Youth Fiddlers take a tour through Canada’s history of fiddle music at Nanaimo Centre Stage July 12.

Musicians detail fiddle history I VALLEY YOUTH fiddlers perform show at Centre Stage theatre.

From the wall-shaking energy of East Coast kitchen parties to toe-tapping ambiance of buskers on the West Coast waterfront, the fiddle is an integral part of Canada’s cultural makeup. But have you ever wondered how this stringed instrument shaped Canada’s history?

The fiddle tells a unique story of Canada – how fiddle music first came to our country and spread across the provinces, contributing to our cultural mosaic. This intriguing story unfolds in Nanaimo on July 12, when the Valley Youth Fiddlers present A Fiddler’s History of Canada as part of their B.C. tour. The show features traditional fiddle tunes that were brought to Canada by immigrants from many countries, starting with the tragedy of the Acadians,

moving through the fur trade and the discovery of the fiddle by First Nations. The show then goes on a musical journey as fiddle music spreads to communities in the far reaches of Canada, assisted by radio and television to become a true mosaic, with styles from many different cultures. The Fiddle History of Canada is set for Nanaimo Centre Stage, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Tickets $15; $10/youth at Fascinating Rhythm and at the door.

Nanoose Bay author Mary Laudien is having a blast writing humorous, contemporary novels for anyone who loves their pet. She shares that enthusiasm with young readers at the Wellington library’s summer reading club Thursday (July 5) at 2 p.m. Laudien, a retired principal from West Vancouver, is writing the third book in her Frenchie series, aimed at nine to 12-year-olds, ages that she believes engage in reading through humorous books they relate to personally. In the first book, Ethan enlists the aid of his quirky grandmother, and a following of bloggers, to realize his dream of owning a French bulldog. Misadventures ensue, including a bargain dog wash business in his mother’s basement, all shared nightly on his blog. The sequel sees Ethan and his mom with not just one, but two puppies to train. The books are available at Chapters as well as Nanaimo Maps and Charts. To register for the summer reading program, please contact the library at 250-7585544. The Wellington branch of the Vancouver Island Regional Library is located at 3032 Barons Rd. For more information on Laudien’s books, or to read the bulldog blog, please visit www.twocandobooks.com/.

Sunshine competes with entertainment in summer It’s summertime. Hard to tell, I know, based on the weather. But based on my e-mail inbox, I definitely know the summer season is upon us. When it’s nice out, the e-mails, phone calls, Twitter and Facebook messages drop off significantly. People can’t wait to get outside and soak up that vitamin D, so elusive during the grey winter months. With long days, playtime extends past 9 p.m. – for grown ups as well as kids. And it’s just as hard to drag the adults inside on a balmy summer night. Just ask any of the promoters in town how difficult it is to get people to an event when you’re competing with blue skies and sunshine. It’s one of the reasons

The take the intimate stage at the Renfirst time I saw Byrnes perform dezvous for a concert. was at the Queen’s about six or

more years ago. Aside from the killer sax player and Byrnes’s charm, what I remember most was a gentleman who walked on to the dance floor – alone – tipped his head back, closed his eyes and just danced. He had the most beautiful smile on his face, pure happiness from the music. That’s what it is to dance as if there’s no one watching, is what I thought at the time. So while the forecast stays rainy for the next few days, check out some of the events in Nanaimo, from the Ebb and Flow exhibit at Nanaimo Art Gallery, which includes a free, docent-led tour on Saturday (July 7), or settle in for some jazz any Saturday night at Acme Food Co. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Ronald Joseph White (1920 - 2012) Ron was born in the home his father built in Kitsilano on December 17, 1920. He excelled

in school and, as a teenager, he built a Comet class sailboat which he raced off Kitsilano beach. He was a charter member of the Kitsilano Yacht Club and helped build the clubhouse. As a young man, he studied engineering at UBC, graduating in 1943 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he was every inch an engineer throughout his life. He worked for Boeing Aircraft at Sea Island during World War II. There he designed a bimetal jig to locate the bolt holes for attaching the wings to the B-29 bomber â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he had been told that this could not be done. His jig was used in the production of all the B-29â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that ďŹ&#x201A;ew. He met his wife Barbara while at Boeing. After the war ended, they travelled across North America and were married in Toronto on May 25, 1946. Ronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work with the Federal Government took him to Nelson in 1949. Their 3 sons â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Stephen, Eric and Colin â&#x20AC;&#x201C; were born in Nelson. In 1954 he moved his young family to Whitehorse, Y.T. where his work took him to some of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remotest and most beautiful places. It was here that he made some of his closest lifelong friends. For the rest of his life he carried a part of the Yukon with him. The family moved to Burnaby in 1957. Ron built much of the furniture in the family home and many of the pieces are still in use. While the kids were growing up, Ron started the Childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Own Theatre, which showed quality childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ lms â&#x20AC;&#x201C; initially in the church hall and eventually in a movie theatre. He was also a founding member of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Saint Cellarâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a coffee house where up and coming folk singers could perform. He also participated in the Junior Kennel Club where the three boys trained and showed their dogs. He was an accomplished potter and a member of the BC Pottersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Guild. Ron and Barb moved to Nanaimo in 1991. There, he re-discovered his love of photography. He and Barb went to many unusual places in the world â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he taking photos and she sketching and painting. He compiled his photos into slide shows that he showed to appreciative audiences throughout Nanaimo. He continued giving these shows after he lost his eyesight in the late 90â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and gave his last show after Christmas 2012. Ron was pre-deceased by his beloved wife Barbara (to whom he was utterly devoted throughout their 67 years of marriage) and is survived by 3 sons and two grandchildren â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Guy and Joel. He will be remembered fondly. A memorial service will be held at St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Church, 100 Chapel Street, Nanaimo, BC on July 11, 2012 at 2 p.m. Following the service his ashes will be interned with Barbaraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the Memorial Garden at the church. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers, a donation in Ronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory to Loaves and Fishes would be welcomed. First Memorial Funeral Services 250-754-8333
