‘Terminal Trench’ project moves ahead on Phase 1

BY TOBY GORMAN THE NEWS BULLETIN

A tree assassin is at work in Nanaimo’s Eaglepoint neighbourhood, and Roberta Bogle is trying to understand why. Last winter, Bogle and her husband Doug Anthony, while working along their fence line, noticed somebody had girdled three cedar trees. This past weekend, they discovered a 10-metre cedar on their front lawn had been girdled three metres up the trunk. “Somebody climbed up and used a saw to destroy our tree,” she said. “We’re a little flummoxed as to why.” Last year, Bogle and Anthony removed a large pine and another cedar that had failed along the fence line, but they never thought to look for signs of vandalism. Now they’re convinced somebody in their own neighbourhood, perhaps a person seeking a better ocean view from their home, is responsible. “It’s a little unnerving to think somebody who lives around here might be responsible, but what other explanation is there?” she said. Girdling, also called ring barking, is the removal of a strip of bark from around either the trunk of the tree or a branch. ◆ See ‘NORTH-END’ /7

In Phase 1 of the project, the possibility of contaminated soil under the thoroughfare through downtown Nanaimo will be assessed with a $217,500 provincial grant.

Provincial funding will help downtown association assess potential pollution beneath corridor BY CHRIS HAMLYN

roponents of redevelopment along Terminal Avenue and Nicol Street corridor hope there is strength in numbers. The Downtown Nanaimo Business Improvement Association received a $217,500 provincial grant to initiate Phase 1 of its planning, design and development committee’s project to overcome the challenges inhibiting business growth opportunities along the corridor. Known as the Terminal Trench, the corridor was once a ravine running from the Pearson Bridge to Port Place shopping centre. It became the dumping ground in 1891 for not

only debris from coal mines, but garbage from the community, and was eventually filled in by the early 1920s. The likelihood of contaminated soil beneath the nearly 100 properties lining the streets was an impediment to the corridor’s development for a number of years. Darren Moss, committee chairman and project manager, said discovering what’s underneath the roads and how to deal with it could be a daunting task for individual property owners – so the committee is taking it on.

Salon owner on probation for shooting at suspects

Gabriola radio tower plan raises concerns

WOMAN GETS conditional discharge.

The owner of a hair salon in Nanaimo was recently handed a conditional discharge for firing several rounds from a rifle during a break and enter at her business last winter. The incident happened in November. Police responded to a glass-breakage alarm at the salon just after 3 a.m. and found the front door smashed, a woman inside, bullet casings on the floor and several bullet holes in the interior walls. T h e wo m a n , 5 4 , identified as the salon owner, told police suspects broke in and she fired a rifle in selfdefence. No one was injured. T he woman was charged with careless use of a firearm and on July 3 in Nanaimo provincial court, she received a conditional discharge and a twoyear probation order. Conditions of the probation include keeping the peace, reporting to a probation officer, not possessing firearms and counselling. The woman also had to forfeit the rifle used. A discharge is when an individual is found guilty of an offence, but is not deemed to have been convicted. In the case of a conditional discharge, the individual is on probation and if conditions are obeyed until the end of probation, the individual will not have a criminal record.

High-tide hiccup One of the operators of a craft that found itself high and dry on the rocks off Neck Point waits for the tide to turn and, hopefully, refloat the boat Thursday. The crew, who asked not to be identified, said the boat, which appeared not to be damaged, got hung up on the rocks Thursday morning as the tide went out. The men’s attempts to get the boat aloaft ahead of the incoming tide failed and resulted in it capsizing.

Fire ban implemented across coastal region All open fires and fireworks are banned on the B.C. coast for the rest of summer. The ban by the B.C. forest ministry, implemented as of noon Friday, covers all of Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands, as well as the area west of the Coast Mountain Range from the Canada-U.S. border at Manning Park, including South Tweedsmuir Park in the north, the Sunshine Coast, the Lower Mainland. Haida Gwaii is, so far, the only coastal area exempt from the ban, which will remain in place until Sept. 15 or until the public is notified otherwise. The ban is intended to help prevent humancaused wildfires and specifically prohibits burning of any waste, slash or other material in fires smaller than two metres high by three metres wide. The burning of stubble or grass and the use of fireworks or burning barrels of any size or description is also banned. The ban does not prohibit campfires that are smaller than a half-metre tall by a halfmetre wide and does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or charcoal. Anyone lighting a campfire must create a fireguard by removing flammable debris from the campfire area and have a hand

tool or at least eight litres of water handy to properly extinguish the fire. The ban covers all B.C. Parks, Crown and private lands, but does not apply within boundaries of municipalities that have fire departments and fire prevention bylaws. Category 3 open burning for resource management reasons, is still allowed, but anyone conducting this type of open burning is limited to one burn at a time and must obtain a burn registration number by calling 1-888-797-1717. Breaking an open fire ban can result in penalties ranging from a fine of $345 up to $100,000 and a sentence of one year in prison. Anyone whose actions start or contribute to a wildfire can also be ordered to pay a $10,000 penalty plus all firefighting and associated costs. To report a wildfire or unattended campfire, call 1-800-663-5555 or *5555 on a cellphone. For more information about open burning regulations and fire prohibitions, to view an online map of the fire ban area, current wildfire activity, air quality advisories and road closures, please visit the B.C. Wildfire Management Branch website at http:// bcwildfire.ca.

Gabriola Radio Society’s proposal to build a radio tower is raising concerns among residents. The society wants to build a 40-metre tower on property located at the end of Chernoff Drive. During the public meeting hosted by the Gabriola Island Local Trust Committee last month, residents voiced opposition. “The neighbours had extreme concerns,” said Ken Zakreski, radio society president. “The process was beneficial. The community had a chance to voice concerns, even though some were out of the scope of the tower proposal. I think it brought some calm to the process.” Zakreski said the meeting was productive and the Islands Trust did a good job of mediating questions and explaining what Industry Canada considered relative to the proposal decision. The meeting also enabled the society and Trust representatives to address concerns and misinformation that was circulating, he said. A common concer n among those gathered was potential health effects of the tower. Zakreski said the tower will be operated well below Health Canada’s Safety Code 6 regulations that govern the acceptable level of radiation emitted. Concer ns about the esthetics of the tower were also raised, but Zakreski said the tower would be built to resemble a Douglas fir tree that has been struck by lightning to better blend into

the environment. Residents also question whether a cell reception antenna would be added to the tower in the future. Zakreski said at this point, the society does not intend to pursue any deal that would add a cell reception antenna; however, the society says that is a separate issue. Sheila Malcolmson, one of three Gabriola Island Trust local committee members and chairwoman of the broader Islands Trust council, said much of the community supports the idea of a community radio station, but the challenge is balancing that support with tower concerns and the desire to maintain their lifestyle. The society has pursued the quest for a community based radio station on 98.7 FM to provide local musicians, actors, and community groups a platform to broadcast their talent and ideas. That pursuit included butting heads with Rogers Media when Rogers applied under the CRTC to build a repeater station on Salt Spring Island to boost its signal. If that application was approved it would have made 98.7 FM unusable because channels are not allowed to interfere with each other. The Gabriola Island Trust is accepting comments on the issue until Wednesday (July 25). People are asked to send comments by e-mailing cfox@ islandstrust.bc.ca, faxing 250-247-7514 or mailing Gabriola Island Local Trust Committee at 700 North Rd., Gabriola Island, B.C., V0R 1X3. A staff report is expected by today (July 19), including the planner’s recommendations on the issue. The issue will be discussed at the next local Trust committee meeting on July 26. reporter3@nanaimobulletin.com

Events aim to educate public on supertanker risks DEMONSTRATION ORGANIZED to take place during bathtub race, talk planned at university.

BY TOBY GORMAN THE NEWS BULLETIN

Concerns over the potential for increased oil supertanker traffic on B.C.’s coastline is prompting at least two local organizations to take action and rally to educate people on the perceived threat of an oil spill. Save Our Shores and Silva Bay Kayak Adventures are hosting an anti-supertanker demonstration Sunday (July 22) at Departure Bay. The purpose is to bring awareness to how shoreline and marine ecosystems can be destroyed for generations by an oil spill, as well as the sheer size of the tankers that would be plying coastal waters, said organizer Ryan Masson. “In a lot of ways people may not be fully aware of all the risks involved with these proposals,” said Masson. “A lot of people here make a living on the water, myself included, and it’s important to protect the natural resources we all enjoy and appreciate.” The rally, from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., will feature dozens of kayaks and other humanpowered vessels lined up in Departure Bay to display the size of an oil tanker, which is approximately 390

metres in length. Paddlers interested in participating should register at least 24 hours in advance online at www.silvabaykayaking.com. Organizers worked in partnership with bathtub race organizers to arrange necessary permits for the event. In a similar demonstration at Gabriola Island’s Descanso Bay on June 10, Oceans Day, Masson said once every boat was in position, he was surprised just how massive the oil-laden vessels are. “I knew they were big,” he said. “But being there really displayed the sheer size and it was a powerful visual effect to see that many kayaks.” Two projects in B.C. are being considered that could increase

tanker traffic in B.C. coastal waters. Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline would pipe bitumen from Alberta’s tar sands to Kitimat, where supertankers would be required to navigate dangerous waters en route to markets in Asia. Kinder Morgan is proposing to triple the capacity of its Trans Mountain pipeline at a cost of $5 billion. That project pipes crude oil from Alberta’s tar sands to tankers in Vancouver. Those projects raised concerns with local environmental organizations, including the emerging Sierra Club Nanaimo. The group, in partnership with Dogwood Initiative, is hosting renowned marine toxicologist Riki Ott, who will give a presentation titled Think Tankers ... and What Comes With Them at Vancouver Island University,

Building 200, room 203, on Aug. 2 at 7 p.m. “We’re doing this because of our concer ns about supertanker traf fic that wo u l d b e c o m i n g through Georgia Strait,” said Rachelle Stein-Wotten, spokeswoman for Sierra Club Nanaimo. “If a spill does happen it would be even worse than the Valdez disaster. People are starting to realize what we would lose if there was a spill, and we’re trying to help get that information out. Even if something happens up around Kitimat, Nanaimo would likely be af fected. The consequences are huge.” Ott was one of the first people on scene of the devastating Exxon Valdez oil spill in 1989, and is featured in the award-winning documentary titled Black Wave: The Legacy of the Exxon Valdez. Ott has studied the effects oil spills have

on communities and ecosystems damaged by oil spills for the past 20 years, and penned Sound Truth and Corporate Myth$: The Legacy of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spilll as well as Not One Drop: Promises, Betrayal, and Courage in the Wake of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill. Ott will give her presentation in 10 coastal communities.

Man’s body found by search crews The body of a 61-year-old Nanaimo man who went missing Wednesday night was found by Nanaimo Search and Rescue members early Thursday. Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman, said the victim, an avid photographer, was fishing with friends and family at Colliery Dam Park’s second dam. He ventured off to take some photographs about 8:30 p.m. When he did not return by 10:30 p.m., relatives called police who searched the park without success. Police called in Nanaimo Search and Rescue volunteers at about 11:30 p.m. The search and rescue team found the victim’s body at about 4:30 a.m. Thursday in a deep pool of water near a foot bridge crossing the Chase River, which runs through the park. “They found him about 300 metres from where he was last seen,” O’Brien said. Police are being assisted by the B.C. Coroners Service in their investigation into the cause of death. The victim’s identity is being withheld until all next of kin are notified.

Logging industry loses saw pioneer BY CHRIS HAMLYN THE NEWS BULLETIN

It’s a safe bet that when Olaf Fedje left the little town of Frontier, Sask. in the 1930s looking for work, he had never seen trees like they have in B.C. Those trees would play a huge role in the 19-year-old’s life for the next 75 years, and he would have an equally important role in the growth of the forest industry in the province. Fedje died July 3 at 94, surrounded by the family so important to him. A memorial was held Thursday on his property on Jenkins Road, drawing close to 100 people celebrating his life. Hard times in the Depression forced Fedje, his father and two brothers to head west and to logging – the one industry where workers were in demand. He became a pioneer in the industry with the introduction of chainsaws. Early saws were 63-kilogram beasts, requiring two men to haul them through the forest and hold them while another supervised. Fedje, soon an experienced faller, was one the first loggers in the province to operate a one-man saw and was later hired by forest company Bloedel, Stewart and Welch to teach the finer points to other loggers. “I guess he was fairly good at it and the contractors wanted him to teach the fallers so they could raise production,” said Selena Pellizzari,

Sivert Mjoen, left, and Chester Scott pose with a early logging photo of Olaf Fedje. Former employees of Fedje in the 1960s, the two were among the nearly 100 people who celebrated his life at a memorial Thursday. Fedje died July 3 at 94.

one of Fedje’s six grandchildren. Fedje then got into the contracting side of the business, forming Fedje and Gunderson Falling Contractors in 1948, with Cliff Gunderson. It soon became the largest falling contractor on the West Coast. Sivert Mjoen, 85, worked for Fedje for 30 years off and on starting in the 1960s. He remembers a good man who knew his business and the men looking for work. “When contractors would come

looking for fallers, if Olaf wasn’t in his office they walked out,” he said. “They only wanted to talk to him when hiring, he knew the good fallers.” Fedje also gained a reputation for caring about the loggers. “I later worked for MacMillan Bloedel and was the last on the seniority list and got laid off quite often,” said Mjoen. “I came home in the evening and Olaf phoned knowing I just got laid off and he had a job for me the next morn-

ing. He was always looking after people.” Chester Scott, 81, said Fedje was a good boss and an even better talker. “I was looking after fallers in the camp in Gold River and got fed up and told Olaf I was going to quit,” he said. “He would pat me on the back, tell me what a good guy I was and I’d go back to camp happy.” But life was not all work in the woods. Attending a late 1930s social in the Fraser Valley, Fedje met Beatrice Stech and the couple were married in 1940. They moved to Port Alberni in 1943 and Nanaimo in 1946, living in Harewood to raise two daughters. Fedje got into sales and service with Island Chain Saws and then established Nanaimo’s Woodlands Supplies in the 1960s which still operates today as Westwood Power and Marine. He also partnered with Scott and three others to form Island Ropes and Equipment in Nanaimo. Pellizzari said Fedje was a fantastic person. “He was wise, he was patient, he was an advisor, he would push us when we needed it but also stand back at let us go on our own,” she said. “He always had our back and I think a lot of his employees would say the same. He was always behind the people who worked for him and the same held true for family life. People in general were important to him.” news@nanaimobulletin.com

North-end trees unlikely to survive trauma

TOBY GORMAN/THE NEWS BULLETIN

Roberta Bogle is concerned somebody living in her neighbourhood is vandalizing the trees on her property to get a better ocean view. At least four of her trees have been girdled, an act that will eventually kill them.

away, then there is little hope for the tree.” Bogle said it’s difficult to tell when the fourth cedar was vandalized. “It’s not at eye level, and it’s not something you really look for. Doug just happened to look up the tree while he was sitting on the porch and noticed it last weekend,” she said. In an effort to save the trees, they created a sawdust and gelatin mix on the advice of Kemp, applied it to the affected area, and tightly wrapped it with self-adhesive tape in an effort to get the tree’s food once again moving upward. The diagnosis is grim.

Kemp said he does occasionally see acts of vandalism against trees, the most notable being young trees that were girdled near the Port Theatre a few years ago. Fortunately, the damage was discovered quickly, and immediate grafts using the tree’s own sawdust helped save them. “It really amazes me that people would go to such lengths to, in this case, get a better view,” said Kemp. “It’s obviously somebody who knows what they’re doing.” Bogle said while the death of the trees is unfortunate, it’s more troubling that trees are being vandalized

closer to their house, and that a person living nearby might be responsible. “We feel like we’ve been violated, these are our trees,” she said. “And I admit we’ve walked around trying to see who might benefit the most from these particular trees being removed, who might get a better view of the ocean. It’s not something you want to have to do in your own neighbourhood.” reporter2@nanaimobulletin.com

EDITORIAL

Best athletes deserve notice Throughout the weekend, some of the province’s top young athletic talents – in 21 different sports – will showcase their skills at the Surrey-hosted B.C. Summer Games. For some, like former Games competitors Ryder Hesjedal (cycling) and Dylan Armstrong (shotput), the event is a jumping-off point to even greater sporting glory – both Hesjedal and Armstrong will represent Canada later this month at the Summer Olympics in London. But for the majority of the more than 3,800 athletes GAMES part this weekend, SHOWCASE taking the B.C. Summer Games province’s will be a memory they will top young carry with them for years to come, regardless of if they athletes and continue in their chosen future stars. sport into their adult years. As such, the athletes deserve a fitting reception. They deserve to swim, run or play rugby in front of large, cheering crowds. They deserve – for one weekend if not longer – our full attention. Why not, for a few days, make these talented teenagers feel as though they’re at their own Olympics, too? So far, the B.C. Games organizers and volunteers are doing their part. The venues are all in tip-top shape. And despite dwindling participation in certain large, civic events, the B.C. Games have no such issues. In fact, more than 3,500 volunteers – most from Surrey and the Semiahmoo Peninsula – will help ensure this weekend’s festivities run smoothly. At almost every turn, those attending the Games this weekend will see volunteers, from sport officials and coaches to medical staff to food services personnel. All have donated countless hours to making sure all the visiting athletes leave Surrey with smiles on their faces, regardless of whether they’ve won medals. Good on all the volunteers and good luck to the athletes.

By squeezing essential services into designated corridors, even massive metropolises will have a village-like feel, and people won’t have to travel as far on a daily basis. Many other ideas for fast-growing small and mid-sized cities require, you guessed it, science and research. This is why hundreds of Canadian scientists stepped away from their Bunsen burners, petri dishes and microscopes on July 10 to denounce the Harper government’s sweeping cuts to science and research in their Death of Evidence mock funeral. Putting jobs ahead of the environment and taking away information needed to effectively plan and innovate, they cried, is wrong. As we enter into an exciting new era that could make or break society as we know it, our federal government has put the brakes on the very institutions we rely on to make informed and educated decisions to adapt to our changing environment, and evolve as a society. It seems machiavellian to go in any other direction but evidencebased science, but then it seems the term ‘evolve’ may not be present in the Harper government’s lexicon given its preference to base Canada’s future on the oily remains of a creature that has been dead for millions of years. reporter2@nanaimobulletin.com

Oil industry should be nationalized

To the Editor Re: Productive politicking nowhere on horizon, Letters, July 17. What ‘Big Oil’ in Alberta is exploiting is bitumen and whether you call it ‘oil’ or ‘tar’, it’s hard to deny that current policy (including ‘fracking’) is causing some pretty serious environmental consequences, whatever the economic advantages may be. Perhaps it’s time for the government to make some refinements to the old National Energy Program to subsidize those ‘social programs’ in Quebec (and Man., Ont., N.S., N.B., and P.E.I.) to which Jim Corder alludes. We’re all in this together, eh? My Canada includes Quebec and I wouldn’t mind nationalizing our oil industry to keep Canadian gas prices down. Regarding Corder’s dismay at politicians who tailor their message depending on their audience, I’d like to point out that our Prime Minister Stephen Harper uses the word ‘separatist’ in his English language speeches and ‘souverainiste’ (which means ‘sovereigntist’) in French.

LETTERS POLICY: Letters should be no longer than 250 words and will be edited. Preference is given to letters expressing an opinion on issues of local relevance or responding to items published in the News Bulletin. Include your address and phone number (although those won’t be published) and a first name or two initials, and a surname. Unsigned letters or third-party letters (those specifically addressing someone else) will not be published. MAIL: Letters, Nanaimo News Bulletin, 777 Poplar St., Nanaimo, B.C. V9S 2H7 FAX: 250-7530788 E-MAIL: editor@ nanaimobulletin.com

But he also thinks Calgary is Canada’s best city, an opinion with which I’d have to disagree. Sure goes a long way toward explaining some of his policy decisions. As early as 1894, the State Fish and Game Commissioner of North Dakota pointed out that, “Present needs and present gains was the rule of action – which seems to be a sort of transmitted quality which we in our now enlightened time have not wholly outgrown, for even now a few men can be found who seem willing to destroy the last tree, the last fish and the last game bird and animal, and leave nothing for posterity, if thereby some money can be made.” And as Saint Paul pointed out “...the love of money is the root of all evil...”. Perhaps neither Harper nor Corder have watched the 1963 Paul Newman film Hud, or taken to heart the wisdom of Hud Bannon’s father Homer. To wit, “What’s oil to me? What can I do with a bunch of oil wells? I can’t ride out every day and prowl amongst ‘em like I can my cattle. I can’t breed ‘em or tend ‘em or rope ‘em or chase ‘em or

nothing. I can’t feel a smidgen of pride in ‘em ‘cause they ain’t none of my doing.” Hud: “There’s money in it.” Homer: “I don’t want that kind of money. I want mine to come from something that keeps a man doing for himself.” Ian Poole Nanaimo

History offers dose of oil-wealth irony To the Editor Re: Productive politicking nowhere on horizon, Letters, July 17. The letter writer suggests that Quebec should separate from Canada so Alberta can stop their equalization payments. These payments he believes are a ‘fiasco’. But a closer look at history gives us a big dose of irony. Alberta received equalization payments until 1947, and again from 1957 to 1965. During these times, Alberta was a ‘have-not’ province and received billions of dollars from the rest of Canada. Wealth comes and goes, and even the wealthiest provinces were once poor, and could easily become poor again.

Far from separation being a cure for our equalization ‘fiasco’, separation itself would clearly be the fiasco. And comparing the separation of Quebec with the dissolution of Czechoslovakia is comparing apples and oranges. For one, Czechoslovakia was part of the former Soviet Union – Canada was not. These are completely different circumstances. The ‘welfare pot called equalization’ is the deal many others call Confederation. It binds our country together in a mutual agreement of support and partnership. When one province is struggling, the federal government helps out. As recently as 2009, when oil prices plummeted, Alberta almost became a have-not province. To get through the choppy economic waters it began talks with the federal government for a $220-million loan. So when Alberta complains about the deal they made at Confederation, let’s not forget that many times throughout history, they too have dipped their hands in the cookie jar.

preventing their expulsion from the lungs and, according to several scientific reports, can actually work its way out of the lungs in as little as three weeks. It is taken for granted that people working in any kind of dusty environment should take normal precautions. Fortunes have been made by environmentalists, lawyers, consultants and ‘specially trained’ asbestos removal contractors, all of whom continue to avoid recognising any differentiation in the various types of asbestos. This enables them to charge outlandish sums for the recognition and removal of chrysotile that is alledgedly dangerous, yet according to many experts is no more threatening to health than the gyproc in drywall.

In the U.K., there is a nonprofit organization known as Asbestos Watchdog that makes it their business to fight against the unnecessary removal of chrysotile and over a period of several years they have saved millions of pounds sterling for those who have consulted them. Although they are backing a very powerful lobby and have been hauled into court on several occasions, to the best of my knowledge they have as yet never lost a legal battle. Perhaps Suzuki might like to contact them and get his facts straightened out regarding what has been scientifically discovered about the various types of asbestos. Garry Bradford Nanaimo

Not all asbestos material created equal To the Editor Re: Asbestos industry kept alive, Science Matters, July 19. As usual, David Suzuki presents us with a generalization that conforms to the way in which he feels his world should be. He is so busy slamming asbestos in general and Canada in particular that he ignores the fact that the word ‘asbestos’ has very sloppily been accepted over the years to cover three completely different kinds of material. There is no doubt that the blue and brown types of asbestos can be deadly; however white, the third type, is actually chrysotile and not an asbestos at all. Unlike the blue and brown, chrysotile does not have little hooks attached to its fibres

Historical uses created contamination potential

◆ From /1 “We know what the historical uses have been and we know what the property owners have told us, but nobody really has an accurate picture of what is in that corridor today,” he said. “We need to know what is there and how to deal with it before we can steer our way clear.” Environmental consultants Golder and Associates of Nanaimo was hired to collect information from the owners regarding the properties. The committee also hopes to define and negotiate some of the broad-area challenges of the corridor with the Ministry of Environment. Moss said the committee is interested in the big picture and a team effort is key to the project. “The thing we are trying to do is steer clear of site-specific challenges,” he said. “The goal of this project is not to remediate someone’s underground oil tank or complete the remediation. It is to map the course for each individual owner and deal with the area-wide challenges.” Response from property owners regarding Phase 1 has been cautious, he said. “Environmental contamination over the years has developed a fairly negative reputation, but the reality of development is you can’t divest yourself of your property without adequately addressing it,” he said. “I think the confidentiality of the information is key to a lot of owners. In the end, they are the only ones in control of their properties.” The DNBIA partnered with the city and the Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation on the project, and A.J. Hustins, corporation board chairman, said receiving the grant and proceeding with Phase 1 is good news. “We visited with an investor who had identified Nanaimo as a place he wanted to do some business and the first comment was both Nicol Street and Terminal Avenue need some attention,” he said. “For years, development along this critical corridor has stagnated and this is one very large step. “When this opportu-

nity came up to do some geotechnical work and identify what needed to be done for those property owners, the NEDC wanted to be supportive in any way it could.”

Completion of Phase 1 is for scheduled for next spring, but Moss cautions it’s just the first step in a manyyear development of the area.

“If I had a crystal ball, we would have at the end of Phase 1 an area-wide description of the challenges, positive discussions with the Ministry of Envi-

ronment on strategies that reduce the areawide requirements and a plan to take the property owners so they can see their way clear of the chal-

lenges,” he said. Phase 2 is completely dependent on what is found in Phase 1. “Once we’ve mapped out the technical challenges, we need to fig-

ure out how deal with the costs and what kind of incentives could be put in place for the property owners,” Moss said. news@nanaimobulletin.com TELUS AUTHORIZED DEALERS

Advice Experts’ p notary

The Internet has complemented, not diminished, the REALTOR®’s role in the home buying TIM WAIT transaction. Homebuyers ultimately turned to their REALTOR® for both interpretation of information gleaned from the Internet, and for their REALTOR®’s expertise and judgment throughout the home buying process. Homebuyers clearly view the Internet as a tool to enhance their ability to research the real estate market, rather than a replacement for a REALTOR®’s expertise in the ﬁeld. Given the competitive nature of the current real estate market, consumers increasingly look to the Internet for information. As a result, homebuyers are better informed and maintain a greater sense of control over the home buying process. Internet buyers spent two weeks looking for the home they ultimately purchased compared with seven weeks for traditional buyers. Real Estate websites that provide useful information such as www.timwait.com have addressed the needs of both types of buyers. After visiting a Realtor’s website for information, if a buyer feels, “this is all I really need” they are more likely to then call that REALTOR®. Go to www.timwait.com now and call 250-713-1223.

For most bankruptcies, where the person’s financial affairs are not overly complicated and the realizable value of assets available to the creditors is less than $15,000, there is no requirement for a notice to be published in a local newspaper. Nonetheless, a trustee is not prevented from publishing a notice if he feels there may be a benefit in doing so, such as identifying assets or creditors not disclosed by the bankrupt. All bankruptcies are a matter of public record and the trustee is required to make a reasonable effort to identify and provide notification to all creditors. Also, a data base of prior bankruptcy filing information is kept in Ottawa by the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy. For a fee of $8.00 you may request a search for details of any prior bankruptcies for a given individual.

‘UltraSuction’ is a system that holds upper and/or lower dentures securely in place with increased suction by using a tiny mounted TED CARSON valve and suction chamber. Once the denture is in place, the gum rests against the secure chamber, expelling the air and forming a tight seal. The result is a better ﬁt on the gum tissues and an increased resistance to dislodging forces. This is so important for complete lower dentures. With ‘UltraSuction’ on an upper denture, the palate can actually be removed from the denture! ‘UltraSuction’ frees denture-wearers from embarrassing situations caused by loose dentures and eliminates the need for messy adhesives. It has class one medical device approval from Health Canada and is an affordable product that can be built into new dentures or into older dentures during the reline or rebase procedure. It is a very welcome addition as an aid to making life easier and more enjoyable for denture-wears. Call Carson Denture Clinic for a free consultation regarding any of your denture needs.

Atleo re-elected as AFN chief BY WAWMEESH G. HAMILTON THE NEWS BULLETIN

Ahousaht Hereditary Chief Shawn Atleo, who is also Vancouver Island University’s Chancellor, won a second threeyear term as national chief of the Assembly of First Nations Wednesday. The eight-candidate roster for the nation’s top aboriginal spot was reduced to three after two rounds of balloting at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre on Wednesday afternoon. Atleo won on the third and final ballot with 341 out of 512 votes. Mi’kmaw lawyer Pam Palmater placed second with 141 votes. “We will take our rightful place in our respective territories,” Atleo told an assembly hall packed with chiefs after

Shawn Atleo, VIU Chancellor, was re-elected Wednesday as the Assembly of First Nations national chief.

three rounds of voting. “We will stand together and put the final stake in colonialism. We will reject government’s attempt to deny or extinguish our rights.” Atleo was first elected as AFN

national chief in 2009. The AFN is based out of Ottawa and the provinces and territories in its constituency have regional representatives. Atleo was installed as VIU’s chancellor in September 2008, becoming the first aboriginal chancellor in the province of B.C. In May 2011, VIU’s Board of Governors accepted the recommendation of the VIU Alumni Association and unanimously approved Atleo’s reappointment as chancellor for a second threeyear term. “We are very proud of Chief Atleo and the work he is doing to advance opportunities for First Nations in B.C and across Canada, and in raising the profile of Canadian First Nations internationally,” said VIU president Ralph Nilson.

The rib cage is made up of twelve pairs of ribs, attached to the spine by moveable joints. The first ten pairs of ribs are also attached by cartilage to the breast bone. The joints between the ribs and spine must be free to move when we breathe, twist or turn. Like other joints of the body, these joints can become locked or fixed in an abnormal position. This may happen gradually, causing slow onset of stiffness, shortness of breath or chest pain, or it can happen suddenly, causing sharp, debilitating pain, difficulty taking a breath and an inability to lie flat or find a comfortable position. This can also put strain on the cartilage at the front, causing pain in the chest. Problems with the movement of the ribs are extremely painful, but they can be diagnosed and corrected by your chiropractor. Even if the acute episode has passed, it is important to have the cause corrected to prevent it from recurring. If you have pain in the ribs or chest, consult your family chiropractor. For more information contact our office at 250-758-7022 or email drkarin@shaw.ca

What do the new mortgage rules implemented on July 9th 2012 mean for ﬁrst-time homebuyers?

In a nutshell there’s concern that the new mortgage KRISTA HENLEY & rules might push first-time homebuyers out of the SHARON FAUCHON market by reducing the maximum amortization from 30 years to 25 years but mortgages are still a pretty amazing bargain – historically speaking. For refinancing customers the maximum loan to value is now reduced to 80% from 85%, keeping peoples equity in their homes, just that, in their homes. So; what’s a first-time homebuyer to do? Is buying a home right now a reckless risk... or a great, time-limited opportunity? Home ownership can make great financial sense. Over the long term, residential real estate has been a very strong asset – showing excellent appreciation. Renters who add up what they’ve shelled out during their renting years are often shocked to see how much mortgage help they’ve given their landlord. Most would prefer to have had that money build their own wealth. If you’re dreaming of a home of your own we are your first call. Getting a pre-approval is the first step and if you have some work to do prior to being approved we can get you on the right track before you start looking and fall in love with a MUST HAVE house.

A maintenance, or Safety and Efficiency Agreement will ensure that a certified technician inspects and cleans your systems on a regular basis. A system that has gone unattended for an extensive period of time can be an unsafe or inefficiently running system which can cost extra money to operate as it is burning extra fuel or electricity that is unnecessary. A system clean of debris and dust will give you and your family better indoor air quality, an advantage for allergy or asthma sufferers. A maintenance agreement will also offer an opportunity to detect any repairs that may be required – this can alleviate small issues becoming larger, more costly problems. A Safety and Efficiency Agreement can be once a year or every six months and can be for one, two or three years. The longer the duration, the greater the savings on the package.

Insomnia is defined as difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep and affects 30-50% of the North American population. It is a symptom that is experienced by all DR. KAREN L. FRASER age groups, but tends to increase with age. Why is insomnia a concern? Adequate restful sleep is required to allow our mind and body time to repair and regenerate from the day’s activities. In addressing insomnia it is important to explore the underlying causes such as sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, poor bladder control, cortisol/melatonin disruptions, stress, anxiety, depression or pain disorders. Other factors such as shift work, eating late at night, caffeine, alcohol, or medications may also contribute to sleep disturbance. Journaling or writing a to-do list before going to bed can help relieve excessive thinking that may occur at night. Regular exercise helps promote healthy sleep patterns. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine, which can all cause sleep disturbances. A variety of supplements and herbs can be useful to promote healthy restful sleep including: melatonin, magnesium, chamomile, passionflower, oat, lemon balm, and valerian. These interventions can be helpful when appropriate to reduce anxiety and promote a relaxed state required for sleeping. Naturopathic consults are covered by most extended health care plans.

Haven thermometer heats up It’s time to put the roof on Nanaimo Haven Society’s campaign thermometer. In 2008, Haven Society launched its Campaign for Courage to raise $1 million toward its new community services building. Within short order communities from Bowser to Ladysmith responded and $700,000 was raised. Haven’s board of directors has decided to put the final push on its campaign in an effort to raise the remaining $300,000. Letters have been sent out to businesses asking for their support and donations are beginning to come in. “I would like to challenge 300 local businesses to pledge $1,000 each,” said Marilyn Chapman board chairwoman. “By spreading the donation over three years, the taxdeductible cost in only $350 per annum, making the donation well within reach for most organizations.” A team of volunteers will be contacting local businesses

Golfer wins on home course I

SANDY HARPER wins B.C. senior menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s title at Nanaimo Golf Club.

Sandy Harper had the edge all week and ended up as B.C. champion. The Nanaimo Golf Club member won B.C. Golf â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s championship on his home course on Wednesday after finishing the three-round tournament at six under par, 11 strokes better than anyone else in the field. Harper shared the lead after shooting a par 72 in Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first round, then shot a four-under 68 on the second day to give him a seven-stroke lead heading into the final round. His 70 on Wednesday was again the low round of the day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really never had that much pressure on me so all I wanted to do was hit fairways and greens and get into a flow,â&#x20AC;? Harper said in a B.C. Golf press release. Runner-up at the tournament was Tony Hatchwell, also of Nanaimo, who shot a final-round 71 to move him to five over par for the week. Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Marty Holman placed third at seven over. In the super senior 65-and-over division, Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ray Henry outlasted Deltaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bill Wilms for the title, winning on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff after both golfers finished the tourney at plus-11. Harper said he appreciated the support at his home club and also credited the courseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upkeep. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone at Nanaimo put a lot of work into getting the course into the shape it is. It is always in really good shape but I think this week it is in extra special good shape,â&#x20AC;? he said. The top three finishers will make up Team B.C. at Golf Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s championship in Mirabel, Que., at the end of August.

Pirates snuff out Blaze in extra-inning affair BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

GREG SAKAKI/THE NEWS BULLETIN

Nanaimoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sandy Harper watches his tee shot on the first tee on Tuesday at the Nanaimo Golf Club during the second round of the B.C. Golf senior menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s championship. Harper went on to win the championship by 11 strokes.

The Nanaimo Pirates proved they could beat the best team, but then they were reminded they can lose to good teams, too. The Hub City Paving Pirates (32-12) split a doubleheader against the Langley Blaze (37-7) on Thursday at Serauxmen Stadium. The Pirates edged the Blaze 5-4 in extra innings, but then lost 5-1 in the rematch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Overall it was a pretty good day of baseball,â&#x20AC;? said Doug Rogers, Pirates manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having the two best teams playing on a nice day, a good field, there was a lot of intensity.â&#x20AC;? The Pirates are masters of the walk-off win and it happened again in the eighth inning of the early game. Alex Rogers singled up the middle to score Crosby Rushton for the winning run. Rogers, Justin Clarkson and Chris Faber each had two hits in the win and Bryan Odgers earned the win after one inning of relief. Odgers then went on to suffer a loss, too, as he stayed on the mound to start the second game. He allowed five hits and no earned runs over five innings, but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get much run support with Brendan McCarthy providing Nanaimoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only hit. Doug Rogers said his team didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bring the same attitude to the second half of the doubleheader. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It seemed like the guys were content with that win â&#x20AC;Ś and then we just drifted,â&#x20AC;? he said.

THE NEWS BULLETIN

Nanaimo Pirates pitcher Nathan Odgers throws a strike Thur sday at Serauxmen Stadium.

Still, slowing down a hot Blaze team, even just a little, gives the Pirates some belief at an important time of year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you take a game from them all of a sudden theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re mortal again and at least we can take that from [Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s] game,â&#x20AC;? the manager said. Clarkson said the win gives the Pirates confidence, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll try to gain more momentum this weekend as they host doubleheaders at the stadium today (July 21) and Sunday against the Vancouver Cannons and North Delta Blue Jays, respectively. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to use these [ g a m e s ] , â&#x20AC;? C l a rk s o n said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to go in there like weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing a Langley and get our swings in and hopefully take four.â&#x20AC;? GAME ON â&#x20AC;Ś Start times this weekend are noon and 2:30 p.m. both days. Admission is $3 per game or $5 for a doubleheader. sports@nanaimobulletin.com
