Another option eyed by city in attempts to expand water supply

BOAT BASIN BROUHAHA

BY TOBY GORMAN THE NEWS BULLETIN

ROY OSTLING PHOTO

A private company’s proposal for a 30-year lease on Nanaimo’s aging downtown Boat Basin and a $9-million investment to revitalize the facility is drawing concerns and criticisms from some users. For the full story, please see page 7.

Nanaimo is exploring a third option to expand drinking water storage capacity in an effort to ensure supply meets demand by 2020. Last winter, council entered into talks with Harmac mill to tap into its supply as one option. Nanaimo Forest Products, owner of the mill, operates the Fourth Lake Dam through licences granted by the province decades ago, and is entitled to 330 megalitres of water a day, almost seven times Nanaimo’s daily water demand. Those negotiations are continuing. A second option is to build a new dam at a cost of around $60 million in the city’s watershed, where up to four sites are being considered. Bill Sims, manager for water resources, said geotechnical drilling was underway last week at the Jump Creek Dam, Nanaimo’s current water storage reservoir, to see if it is possible to increase capacity by raising the height of the dam, instead of building a new one. “We’ve got a number of questions that demand some pretty serious study,” said Sims. “And there is some urgency to it.” ◆ See ‘WATER’ /4

Film advocates aim to reconnect with city Economic development officials and the film commission are back talking about Nanaimo participating in marketing the region to potential filmmakers. The Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation is set to meet with local film industry representatives on Friday (Aug.

10) to try to continue discussions halted at the exit of former CEO Susan Cudahy. The City of Nanaimo ended its support of the Nanaimo Film Commission in 2006 and refused to contribute financially to the regional Island North Film Commission (InFilm). “We were encouraged this year,” said Joan Miller, film commissioner for InFilm.

directors, said any agreement would have to fit with the corporation’s goals and objectives. “There’s a lot of people who think the NEDC is a bank,” Hustins said. “InFilm is no different – they’re looking for funding.” Although the city doesn’t contribute to its funding, InFilm will assist with Nanaimo shoots if clients request it, said Miller. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

City aims to solve camping concerns for special events

Union targets ministry with strike action BY TOM FLETCHER BLACK PRESS

BY BETH HENDRY-YIM THE NEWS BULLETIN

Provincial government employees will stage a one-day strike at ministry offices in Surrey, Kelowna, Campbell River and 100 Mile House today (Aug. 7), the second such action since rejecting the government’s wage offer. The B.C. Government and Service Employees Union served strike notice with the Labour Relations Board Thursday. Three forests ministry offices are targeted, with 40 staff in Surrey, 50 in Campbell River and 60 combined at transportation and forest ministry offices in 100 Mile House. Another 30 union members in agriculture, health, environment and labour ministry jobs in Kelowna are to refuse a day’s work. The BCGEU repeated its promise that forest firefighting, courts, corrections and other essential services won’t be affected by rotating strike action. The first strike was at liquor distribution warehouses on July 3, after the union rejected an offer of a two-per cent wage increase this year and another 1.5 per cent next year. The BCGEU is seeking about six per cent over two years after three years without a raise. Finance Minister Kev i n Fa l c o n h a s warned that with the province in deficit, the wage offer could be withdrawn. The government describes its current negotiating mandate as “co-operative gains,” where pay increases must be financed by cost reductions in work arrangement.

Concerns around an upcoming review of camping on city property has some fearing events like the regional and national dog agility competitions might never happen in Nanaimo again. Nanaimo policies currently do not allow any kind of camping on city-owned property; however, there are exceptions, including the Nanaimo Equestrian Association, which manages the Agriplex, riding rings, and fields adjacent to the Vancouver Island Exhibition land. It is allowed to offer camping to participants as long as the units are self-contained. “People won’t leave their animals in trailers or stalls overnight so we offer on site dry camping,” said Lesley Coltish, president of the equestrian group. “It’s a great facility,” she added. “Especially for smaller, less-expensive events.” Over the past few years, the association made several improvements to the arenas and building it leases from the City of Nanaimo, including an upgrade to footing material in the riding ring and Agriplex, a sprinkler system, and a better show office. “The improvements attracted a major event, the Nanaimo Quarter Horse Show,” said Coltish. “If we didn’t have on-site camping, that wouldn’t have happened.” Neither would the national dog agility trials held over the weekend. Bernadette Van Klavaren, event chairwoman, said one of the requirements for a city to submit a bid for the trial is on-site camping. “We’d never be able to host nationals in Nanaimo again,” Van Klavaren said. “There just aren’t any other facilities.” Mary Smith, manager of recreation and culture services, said the city supports and encourages events like dog shows and the ones hosted by the equestrian association. “We’ve had a higher than normal request for camping on the city property this year, with the two major dog events and equestrian shows,” said Smith. “These kind of events encourage people to come to our town.” Smith added that the issue of camping on park property has not been reviewed for 10 years. In June, Richard Harding, director of Parks, Recreation and Culture, sent a report to the commission recommending it refer the issue to the recreation committee for this fall. Neither Coltish nor Smith are concerned there might be drastic changes.

Eventually I would hope we would look at all properties.” Brennan said the district is talking with other levels of government about some properties and possibilities for some could include disposal, using the site for educational purposes or partnerships with other groups to develop the property. “There’s so many things going on right now and so many things that need to be decided that haven’t yet been decided,” he said.

Water planning eyes 2020 as key target ◆ From /1 “Water supply isn’t something you want to deliver just in time, it’s something you need to plan well ahead for,” Sims said. The city’s existing water infrastructure is capable of providing 100,000 people with water. It’s anticipated Nanaimo will reach that threshold by around 2020. “We’ve got a number of study options in the fire right now. If discussions for Harmac don’t pan out for whatever reason, we need to be on the ground and running on building more capacity,” said Sims. Sims added that the option of a dam or increasing capacity at Jump Lake could be weighed against an agreement with Harmac at the same time. Preliminary studies indicate raising Jump Creek would likely be significantly less expensive and have less impact on the environment than building a new dam, but Sims warns all work to date is in very early stages. It is expected council will have enough information in front of it by late fall or early winter to begin deliberating its options. In the recently developed corporate strategic plan, water and water conservation were identified as key priorities. Other key water projects underway in Nanaimo include a new $60-million water treatment centre and the construction of a new and enclosed Reservoir No. 1 at Colliery Dam Park.

Stargazers invite residents to take in meteoric event BY TOBY GORMAN THE NEWS BULLETIN

As far as cosmic wonders go, it doesn’t get more accessible or breathtaking than the upcoming Perseids meteor shower, which is expected to peak Aug. 11. To celebrate, the Nanaimo Astronomy Club is holding a community outreach program that night to help teach the curious about our night skies and the Perseids in particular. Garland Coulson, spokesman for the Nanaimo Astronomy Club, said volunteers from the nonprofit society will be at Westwood Lake from about 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. to help people view the event and provide information. “Westwood Lake is an ideal place to watch the Perseids,” said Coulson. “It’s bordered by hills on three sides and it is high up, so light pollution is at a minimum. It’s a perfect vantage point.” Members of Nanaimo’s Dark Sky Project, a group of citizens interested in protecting the night sky from light pollution, are working in conjunction with the city to have Westwood Lake sanctioned as a Dark Sky Park by the International Dark-Sky Association. If approved, the area would be protected from encroaching light pollution and would allow the astronomy club to perform further outreach programs to educate people about our night sky. It already hosts sky walks, which point out constellations to participants using a laser beam. Coulson added the meteor shower is also a perfect opportunity for families to reconnect with nature and understand the wonders of the night sky. “Though meteors are best viewed with the naked eye, we’ll have some telescopes on hand so people can view other aspects of the galaxy,” he said. According to the astronomy club website, about 10 tons of dust, gravel and big rocks fall from space and strike the earth every day. When the objects enter Earth’s atmosphere, they heat up and glow, leaving a shining trail we call meteors. “Seeing a meteor blaze across the sky is one of nature’s most amazing sights,” said Coulson. The Perseids is one of the most prolific meteor showers visible in the northern hemisphere, with an average of 80 meteors visible each hour. The debris is actually a stream of debris along the orbit of the comet Swift-Tuttle. Most of the dust in the comet’s cloud is estimated at about 1,000 years old, and travels at 58 kilometres per second. The Earth is passing through the comet’s debris field from July 23 to Aug. 20. With the moon scheduled to set before 5 p.m. on Aug. 11, if the skies are clear, Coulson said it should be a good year to view the meteors. “If there are clouds, obviously there’s not much to see and the event is cancelled,” he said. “But usually here in Nanaimo we have very nice nights in August. If it is a clear night, I’d recommend people bring some warm clothing, as it can get chilly quite quickly, and bug repellent.” For more information on the Perseids event, contact Coulson at Webmaster@NanaimoAstronomy.com or visit http://NanaimoAstronomy. com. reporter2@nanaimobulletin.com

Lantzville exploring HandyDART service changes mulled woodlot trail options I REGIONAL DISTRICT committee proposes amendment to transit plans to better serve customers.

BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN

Plans to create a trail through a 244-hectre provincially owned woodlot in Lantzville, commonly referred to as the Copley trail area, are moving ahead. Woodlot 1475 has been used by Lantzville residents for decades for recreational activities such as hiking, horseback riding and cycling. But the Copley trail and its various side paths are informal and were created by different user groups over the years. Lantzville’s parks and recreation commission is now working with the province in a joint partnership to create legitimate trails and improve accessibility and safety. Coun. Denise Haime, chairwoman of the commission, said if the district meets provincial criteria, liability issues will be dealt with by the province. “We wanted to make a trail system where the community isn’t on the hook,” she said. The creation of a woodlot trail system was identified in the district’s 2010 Trails and Journeyways strategy report. “We’re trying to make connec-

tor routes,” said Haime. The routes would give residents an alternative method to navigate through the community by walking or cycling. Because Lantzville’s population is aging, the commission also wants to provide recreational activities close to where people live and increase safety, as the comunity doesn’t have paved sidewalks separating pedestrians from traffic, Haime said. Any provincial approval of trail construction in the woodlot requires consultation with the woodlot licence holder, John Gregson, and the Nanoose First Nation. Haime said the commission has sent correspondence to the First Nation about the proposal, but hasn’t spoken to any representatives about the plan. She said Gregson is supportive of the plan. Lantzville completed a 1.6-kilometre trail route, identified in the Trails and Journeyways Strategy, from Aulds Road to Ware Road, in early November last year. The trail was completed with the help of a $400,000 Towns of Tomorrow grant, which covered half of the $800,000 project cost.

The Regional District of Nanaimo’s transit committee is advising the board to support B.C. Transit’s proposal to change HandyDART service. But the committee wants that endorsement to include an amendment that service should be available to customers within 1.5 kilometres of rural village centres to align with the district’s Regional Growth Strategy. B.C. Transit asked for feedback earlier this spring and proposed restricting service to a 1.5-kilometre buffer around existing transit routes, which would restrict the ability of new users outside that area to access service. “All existing clients would be grandfathered in,” said Daniel Pearce, RDN

Licence plate cameras face privacy probe BY JEFF NAGEL

THE NEWS BULLETIN

B.C.’s Privacy Commissioner will probe the use by municipal police of cruisermounted cameras that rapidly scan thousands of licence plates from passing vehicles into a database after critics

raised objections. Elizabeth Denham said her investigation of the Automated Licence Plate Recognition system is already underway. Civil libertarians are applauding the announcement, arguing the RCMP and other forces are using the

plate-scanning technology for purposes beyond the original intent. The 43 cameraequipped police cars in the province scan passing or parked vehicle plates against ICBC and national police databases. Police instantly see if a car is stolen or unin-

sured – or if the probable driver is unlicensed, prohibited from driving, wanted by police or accused of a crime. Each time a flagged vehicle is detected, its time and location is recorded and kept for two years. Rob Wipond, one of three independent researchers whose work convinced Denham to act, welcomes the investigation. “This thing has been operating for years without any kind of independent oversight,” he said. “We’re talking about mass population surveillance.” Wipond said the criteria for generating actionable hits has expanded from traffic violations to data like whether you’ve ever gone to court to seek child custody or had a mental health episode that involved police. The result, he said, is a disturbing map of the movements of myriad suspect vehicles that can be traced back two years. That might seem laudable when it helps

police find an abduction victim, solve a murder or keep sex offenders from parking outside schools. But Wipond envisions British-style uses, like recording the licence plates of vehicles coming to a lawful demonstration and then using ALPR to detect, intercept and slow the same protesters headed to future gatherings. Taken to extremes, critics argue, authorities could use ALPR to track where union leaders, protest organizers

and journalists go and who they meet. “The public needs to think about this more,” he said. “Am I comfortable being tracked all the time, being surveilled all the time? How does this change me and my sense of freedom in my daily life?” RCMP E Division Traffic Services Supt. Denis Boucher said ALPR isn’t used to record suspect vehicles for future tracking. “Anybody can speculate,” he said. “But it

isn’t used as an intelligence-gathering tool. It’s used as an enforcement tool.” He said police couldn’t use it to collect data on vehicles arriving at a Hells Angels clubhouse – or a protest. But Boucher said RCMP are considering keeping all plate recognition data for every vehicle ALPR identifies on the road – not just the actionable hits. A check of non-hit ALPR data might be able to show whether a suspect’s vehicle was or wasn’t near the scene of a crime, he said. “There are all kinds o f r a m i f i c at i o n s, ” Boucher said. “We’re not quite there yet as to whether we want to go down that road.” He said the pilot program, launched more than five years ago mainly to find stolen cars, “morphed” over time into tracking a broader set of targets because car theft alone wasn’t enough to justify its use. “There was value in identifying other infractions,” he said. “That’s how it’s snowballed into where it is today.” He denied there is any interest in using the licence plate data of existing stationary cameras from ICBC’s 140 red light cameras. Michael Vonn of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association is skeptical the program won’t expand further given the “function creep” seen so far. Licence plates are publicly visible with no expectation of privacy, but she said an ALPR system coupled with a database that archives detected locations is a profound change. “The community will have to decide if funneling every person that you pass on the street into a database is law enforcement,” Vonn said. “You don’t have to identify yourself on the street. This is a technological means by which we are not only identifying but screening.” Denham has no jurisdiction over the RCMP so her probe’s focus is on the Victoria Police but expects her findings to relate to other municipal forces. Boucher said his office is already working with Denham because RCMP servers store the data. editor@nanaimobulletin.com

Metal dealing law aims to crimp wire thieves’ efforts BY JEFF NAGEL BLACK PRESS

Critics float marina worries

30-YEAR LEASE proposal has some users concerned about access to facility. BY ROY OSTLING THE NEWS BULLETIN

A long-term lease of Nanaimo’s 72-year-old harbour marina to a private company could lead to an improved facility for boaters and an economic boost to the city, but several user groups have reservations about the impact. In May, Nanaimo Port Authority announced it had reached a deal with Sidney-based Pacific Northwest Marina Group to lease the Boat Basin. The company proposes investing $9 million in upgrading the existing 4.45-hectare marina, which would include replacing creosote pilings with steel piles and wood floats with concrete finger slips that would increase moorage capacity by 40 per cent. “We’re excited about the future of Nanaimo’s harbour,” said Ryan Nicholson, the company’s VP Finance, and a former Nanaimo resident. “We want more people down here and see Nanaimo as ideal location for boaters to stay for a few days and then explore the middle Gulf Islands and Desolation Sound.” Since the beginning of July, Pacific

Northwest has operated a storefront information centre next to Harbour Air open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. “We’ve had a lot of positive response from people wanting to know what’s going on,” Nicholson said. “They’ve also asked about special interest groups and expressed concern that some areas of the marina will be offlimits.” But Nicholson says the change in the Nanaimo harbour will increase public and recreational boater access and not interfere with such events as the annual dragon boat and marine festivals. Other marina users such as community activist Brunie Brunie and Michelle Corfield, representing commercial fishing operators, are circulating petitions to stop the 30-year lease to a private company. For Brunie, the main issue is the transfer of water rights to corporate interests. For Corfield, a major concern is loss of the ability to offload harvested seafood for shipment to processing facilities and markets. Long-time Protection Island resident Larry Iwaskow is uncertain how PNMG’s investment and role as lessee of the marina will affect his community and its dependence on the facility as a place to moor when accessing city shops and services. Iwaskow owns and operates a community moorage facility on Protection

Island and has moored his 14-foot boat at the Nanaimo marina for 30 years. “We’re already paying double the moorage rates charged in Victoria Harbour,” Iwaskow said. “How is adding more capacity to the Nanaimo Marina going to work when it is half empty for most of the year?” Iwaskow says the Port Authority is moving forward with a lease agreement without a solid plan in place. “The Gabriola ferry brings more people to Nanaimo everyday than carried by most cruise ships. Let’s build them a $12-million facility.” Pacific Northwest held two public meetings in June with Nanaimo and Protection Island residents and also met the commercial fishing sector. “We’ve adjusted our design to reflect the comments of Protection Island users,” Nicholson said, adding the company is open to giving presentations to stakeholder groups that request them. Renovations of the marina would begin once the conditions of the PNMG’s agreement with the Port Authority are fulfilled, senior government agencies are satisfied and consultation with Snuneymuxw First Nation is complete. Construction and installation of new slips could involve Nanaimo suppliers and would be undertaken in two phases from October to April with a 16-month timeline. editor@nanaimobulletin.com

New B.C. regulations clamping down on metal theft are now in effect but nobody’s predicting the scourge will be wiped out any time soon. Scrap metal buyers now must keep a daily log of their purchases and suppliers, who have to provide identification, be registered and can only be paid by cheque for amounts over $50. The Metal Dealers and Recyclers Act aims to plug gaps in the patchwork of different municipal bylaws drawn up by cities to try to combat wire theft. “Hopefully we’ve landed at a place where we have something that will work effectively,” said provincial spokesman and Chilliwack MLA John Les, adding the government will consider further changes if necessary. While bylaws have helped reduce unscrupulous salvage metal buying in a dozen Lower Mainland cities, wire and other objects are still pilfered in those areas and then resold where no bylaws exist. Telus pegs its losses to metal thieves at $16 million last year – resulting in phone service outages that left customers unable to use 911 in emergencies – and the firm is averaging an incident each day so far this year. “We hope it will be a turning point in the battle against metal theft in B.C.,” Telus vicepresident Dave Cunningham said. He wouldn’t estimate how much Telus might pare its losses, but said the company would be happy if it could halt the steady climb in metal theft incidents. Everything from phone and power lines to phone booths and manhole covers get dragged in to metal salvagers, mainly by prolific offenders in search of drug money. Provincial inspectors will also do periodic spot checks of the more than 120 scrap metal dealers in B.C. to ensure they register and comply with the rules. Violators face fines of up to $100,000 and possible jail time. The regulations cover not just wire – the main target of thieves – but other specific metal objects like traffic lights, signs, sewer grates and metal grave markers. The new law was a long time coming – municipalities and utilities had been lobbying for action since at least 2006. Questions abound over how much use police will be able to make of the information collected by buyers to pursue suspected thieves. Dealers are supposed to relay the information on what they buy daily and police can compare that to reports of stolen items and then get a court order for more information as needed. Critics in the recycling industry contend the rules put too much onus on them instead of the thieves. editor@nanaimobulletin.com

EDITORIAL

Licence probe a positive p stepp Automatic licence plate readers are either another step closer to a Big Brother surveillance society or a needed piece of technology police can use to nab car thieves and bad drivers. Either way, it is a good decision by B.C. Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham to try to shed light on how licence plate readers work, what data is collected and how it is used. Police use a high-tech, high-speed camera which can read thousands of plates per hour and match them against those from stolen and uninsured vehicles, and help identify people without valid licences or those who are prohibited from driving – collectively known as “hits.” Municipal police insist they don’t amass and store gigabytes of licence plate image data. That much is true – it’s all passed on to the RCMP P which administers and oversees the program. All the data is stored on RCMP servers, hits and non-hits alike. RCMP bosses indicate the program could be expanded to help police conducting serious crimes investigations. Critics say the program has veered far outside its original mandate to efficiently find bad drivers, and is headed into mass population surveillance, or surveilling known activists. This suggestion seems like conspiracy theory, but it is a fair question to ask how much surveillance people should be subjected to, what data is being collected and kept and how it’s being stored. Hopefully the B.C. privacy commissioner can offer suggestions to balance the tension between privacy rights and law enforcement. But that investigation likely won’t probe the most troubling aspect – the collection and storage by the RCMP of the locations and movements of innocent people going about their daily lives. The federal privacy watchdog needs to investigate what is done with this data. Police should have their tools, but civil rights shouldn’t be thrown under the bus.

I’d like to revise a comment made in an earlier column that suggested pulling weeds out by hand would not be egregious for the average homeowner – dandelions are a bit of an exception. At first I opted for simply mowing the tops down (they are green and so is grass, right?), but the darn things seem to spread anyway, in stark contrast to the neighbour’s pristine, weed-free lawn. For the sake of neighbourhood peace, my husband and I have resigned ourselves to getting out there and digging them up before they invade other peoples’ turf. Although by this stage, it is going to take a while, even with the help of yet another borrowed tool. I foresee either the purchase of a gas-powered lawn mower or a dwindling lawn space in our future. After all, my husband and I are about as eager to water our lawn as we are to pick the weeds out of it – in the interests of conserving an important natural resource, we opt for a yellow lawn. But all of the rain this year has so far kept our lawn almost as green as everyone else’s. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Many B.C. residents buy into campaign against pipelines To the Editor, Re: B.C. sets conditions for pipeline OK, K July 26. Most B.C. residents, as well as the media and both the federal and provincial NDP, have been coerced by a slick campaign to make us believe that the Enbridge pipeline and the shipping of crude oil from our ports is akin to the apocalypse and that all life would end if an oil spill should occur. Please ponder for a moment to consider where all the information about the dangers of pipelines and oil spills is originating. The First Nations people don’t have any knowledge of pipelines, nor do the environmentalists have the resources to fund such a campaign as we are presently experiencing. Who would benefit most from having a ban on Canada exporting our oil offshore and reaping the benefits of world prices for our commodity? The answer is very easy – it would be our (friend) and neighbour the United States of America, which firmly believes it should have sole rights to our oil, and all the other resources we have, at their price and their pleasure. At this time, they are already discounting the price they pay for our oil and as we have no other place to sell it, we have to accept it and shut up. The same thing happened to our lumber, wheat, beef, pork and coal until the federal government had the intestinal fortitude to stand up and seek new offshore markets. Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his government tweaked onto this campaign this spring when they banned foreign funds and foreign representations to the National Energy Board, but the fox was already in the chicken coop and the seeds of the campaign were well-entrenched. The Americans have

pumped millions of dollars into funding the negative campaign and installed a host of well-educated dissenters who are busy stirring up the First Nations and kick starting the environmentalists. While we may scoff at the thought, it is not inconceivable i that the venerable CIA, which is known to work all over the world for the political and financial benefit of the U.S., may have a finger in the pie. Who could say that the first Enbridge oil spill and the most recent spill was not triggered by that subversive group, as espionage and bombing is their trademark. As well, the proposal to build a pipeline from the border to the refineries on the East Coast, which would have boosted our exports but was not in the best interests of the Americans’ long-term objectives, as they would prefer our product stay in the ground for future consideration, and only be used when it suited the Americans. Canadians for the most part are quite gullible and seem to accept the words of so-called experts and don’t take the time or effort to do any investigation on their own. Wake up B.C. and look at the facts, oil has moved across the continent and the oceans for more than a century. Norway produces all its oil offshore and pipes it through underwater pipelines to their onshore refineries in seas that would make our West Coast waters look like a mill pond. They control their system with little or no difficulty, as do the United Kingdom, the Philippines, Brazil, the United States and a multitude of other nations. They all benefit from the income of their resources and I think it is time for Canada and British Columbians to do the same. Don Olsen Nanaimo

Science centre a great proposal To the Editor, Re: Input sought on science centre plans, July 31. The Nanaimo Science and Sustainability Society is proposing a science centre in Nanaimo and the city wants to hear if residents support the idea of using public park land for it. It seems to me that a hands-on science-education facility where kids and adults can spend time exploring and learning about nature and technology is an entirely worthwhile endeavour.

This is something the city should be 100-per cent supporting and helping in any way it can. This is not a matter of sacrificing park land for development. It is a matter of providing public land for a very worthwhile public use. Kids these days are often intimidated by math and science and exposing them to the interesting displays and models at a science centre is an experience of discovery that can pay big dividends to society as a whole. We take most technology for granted in these days; however, technol-

ogy is also the solution to many of the world’s social and environmental problems. But unless we encourage the next generation to be critical thinkers and innovators we may end up just living with the problems we create rather than solving them and improving our quality of life. I hope this science centre will find a home in Nanaimo and help to motivate some young people to become innovators and problem solvers. Fred Kardel Nanaimo

Readers respond: Feedback on news items People have right to water concerns To the Editor, Re: Cost of tap water paid by taxpayers, Letters, Aug. 2. John Challinor of Nestlé knows not of what he speaks. The taxpayers pay for the infrastructure to deliver our water and not the water itself. The war we are waging, as retired people and working people in our communities, is entirely about our environment. I, for one, am highly concerned with everything that the bottled water industry does and does not do. They use our own tap water and charge 1,000-per cent more than what we would pay for water coming from our own taps. Is this not about their profit margin? The industry uses oilbased products to make the bottles that now fill up a huge portion of our oceans and these have a huge effect our our marine life. These bottles also release toxins into the water within that bottle that are dangerous to our health. The release is done with every

temperature change – and there are many temperature changes. That has been scientifically proven. The request to our councillors and regional district directors were not just from the Council of Canadians and CUPE. They were also from Vancouver Island Water Watch Coalition (which is a group of community coalitions from one end of the Island to the other) and the Island Glass Artisans – both of these latter groups are concerned citizens within their communities. We have every right to be concerned and we will continue to challenge the likes of Challinor. June Ross Vancouver Island Water Watch Coalition

over lack of communication between city hall and the electorate. I do not see 38 per cent as a majority.

Building perfect for indoor market To the Editor, Re: ‘Barney Building’ sitting idle, Aug. 2. Every time we drive pass this building we are embarrassed by the colour and now the deteriorating condition. Is there any way the owners would consider repainting the building a neutral colour, especially if the city paid for half ? A possible use could be an indoor farmers market. There is a large one in Calgary and it is open yearround with vendors of all kinds – those who sell soap products, artwork, vegetables when in season, food vendors and many many more. This might suit the owners, as they still own the property but could lease it out or rent the stalls. Dennis and May Roberts Nanaimo

B.C. embracing oil wealth a pipe dream To the Editor, It may have been caused by the extra pickled onion I ate with the piece of cheese before retiring, that precipitated a wonderfully vivid dream the other night. At my wife’s behest, I was dutifully preparing a hole on our backyard in order to plant a new rhododendron, and guess I got a little carried away with how far I was digging down. The next thing we knew there was a loud whoosh as thick black gooey liquid started gushing and oozing out of the ground. Yep, we had struck oil – not unlike The Beverly Hillbillies –

surely, we were made for life. In Dreamland we soon had our discovery registered, as geological experts all agreed we had struck the mother of all motherlodes; more than enough to fuel all those factories in China for several decades. We contacted a company in Calgary, called something like Bridgend, to transport the oil through a state-of-the art pipeline to the nearest deep-water port in the Strait of Georgia, where we built state-of-theart refineries. State-of-the-art supertankers loaded refined

products every day at stateof-the-art terminals, and there were well-paying jobs for everybody for miles around; building and maintaining pipelines, refineries and oil terminals, and loading the ships. Taxes and royalties were paid to all levels of government to fulfill demands for hospitals, schools, daycare centres, seniors residences, roads, cheaper gasoline and every necessity of life that some Canadians seem to take for granted. Trouble is, I awoke from my slumber to find it was only a pipe dream, as large numbers of

British Columbians have apparently been swayed to believe that any dealings with pipelines and supertankers are fraught with inevitable danger and ruination. What a shame, when so many other countries embrace their mineral wealth, using their oil resources to great financial and commercial advantage under strict regulatory guidelines. It was such a pleasant dream, though; maybe I’ll eat more pickled onions with my cheese at bedtime. Bernie Smith Parksville

The B.C. SPCA launched a new spay/neuter grant competition to help communities across the province address the problem of pet overpopulation. Through a $75,000 legacy from a compassionate donor concerned about the suffering of homeless cats, the SPCA will be distributing grants of $2,500, $5,000 and $7,500 to municipalities and First Nations communities to assist low-income cat owners and individuals and groups who care for feral cats.

“We are pleased to launch this initiative to help reduce cat overpopulation in B.C. communities,” said Craig Daniell, B.C. SPCA chief executive officer. “Each year thousands of cats and kittens are dropped off at SPCA shelters or simply abandoned by their guardians in public areas. “By providing communities with spay/neuter support, we believe we can reduce the number of unwanted litters and help end the suffering of homeless cats.” Successful applicant organizations must meet certain criteria in order to be eligible for funding, including: evidence of a community problem with homeless and unwanted cats; the ability to match funds

within the community; and the participation of a veterinarian willing to discount his or her services. “Even if applicants don’t fully meet all the criteria, we still encourage them to apply,” said Daniell. “We want to see an end to cat overpopulation in our province and this program is designed to stimulate local solutions tailored to each community.” The B.C. SPCA spends more than $2 million a year on spay/ neuter initiatives across the province. To apply for a community spay/neuter grant, or for more information, please visit www. spca.bc.ca/catgrant and download the application guide.

Stunt Stunt double

Former Nanaimo resident Peter Kent shares his career highlights as a stuntman for Arnold Schwarzenegger BY MELISSA FRYER THE NEWS BULLETIN

f you see Peter Kent walking the streets of Nanaimo, you’ll probably say, “that guy looks a lot like Arnold Schwarzenegger.” You’d be right – it was Kent’s resemblance to the action movie star that kick started his career as a stuntman in Hollywood. Kent returns to Nanaimo Aug. 18 with an appearance at the Vancouver Island Exhibition to discuss his career as a stuntman in Hollywood, as well as his current work teaching a new generation of stuntmen and women. “There’s a lot of young people interested in the industry who have questions,” Kent said. “It’s a good industry to be involved in.” Kent lived in Nanaimo throughout his teen years and remembers going to dances at Beban Park and attending Nanaimo District Secondary School. He was also involved in a series of car accidents, which contributed to his resemblance to Schwarzenegger. Kent worked at A&B Sound in Victoria in 1984 when he decided to pack up and move to Los Angeles. He had some acting experience, performing at Victoria’s Belfry Theatre. “I just thought I’m going to go to Los Angeles – I’ve got nothing else to do,” Kent said. For about six months he lived at the YMCA, attending a few auditions and meeting with casting agents, one of whom passed his photo on to director James Cameron, who happened to be working on a little project called Termi-

nator. Kent met the director, who offered him the stand-in role for Schwarzenegger and asked if he did stunts. “I thought maybe I wouldn’t have the other role if I didn’t say yes,” Kent said. He made $20 a day on the set, but got on-the-job training from some of the best stuntmen in the business. After shooting wrapped, Schwarzenegger contacted Kent for his next movie, which offered Kent the chance to work with and learn from more professional stuntmen. “[Schwarzenegger] tracked me down and called me up for Commando,” Kent said. “That took me to the next level.” In all, Kent worked on 13 films with Schwarzenegger, including the Terminator movies, Total Recall, True Lies, Last Action Hero and more. He no longer does stunts, but he directs, writes, produces and hosts a training school for stunt men and women in Vancouver called School of Hard Knocks. He also created and hosted Stuntdawgs, a television series about what happens behind the scenes creating stunts. His main message to newcomers is safety first – get out of the trailer and watch the setup of the rigging to ensure it’s secure. Kent said he was fortunate to have a star like Schwarzenegger in his corner, whom he could call for backup when Kent felt pressure to hurry setup and safety checks from directors and producers. Stuntmen always have the option to decline a stunt, but whoever does is unlikely to get work in the industry

“

You can’t call an event on a gut feeling.

PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Peter Kent left Vancouver Island for Hollywood in 1984, landing a role as Arnold Schwarzenegger’s stunt double on the original Terminator movie. He learned how to be a stuntman on the job and shares his stories at the Vancouver Island Exhibition Aug. 18.

again, he said. “You can’t call an event on a gut feeling,” Kent said. Although he said he had a bad feeling prior to a stunt going terribly wrong on the set of Eraserr – a shipping container failed to fall as planned, swung around and slammed into Kent, breaking bones and putting him in the hospital for a week. “I was almost killed by a three-ton shipping container,” he said. One of his favourite stunts was an 18-storey drop, including about 15 storeys of freefall before landing calmly on his feet.

“That’s called a de-celerated drop,” Kent said. He doesn’t feel the same type of fear or adrenaline as when he first started, but he knows how it feels for newcomers and he teaches them to channel that properly. Walking into a stunt, Kent was always aware of the potential danger. “The air smelled a little cleaner and the stars a little brighter,” he said. Kent will be at the commercial expo stage in Cliff McNabb Arena from 1-4 p.m. For more information, please visit www.peterhkent.com. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

YOUR WEEKLY HOROSCOPE:

UP TO AUG. 13, 2012

Aries

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Marked improvement is on your horizon, Aries. As new possibilities seem to rise without cause or reason, you see the silver lining in the cloud.

Taurus

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, it’s difﬁcult when you feel like you’re being pulled in too many directions. This may require sitting down and making a priority list to get started.

Gemini

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Don’t try to mask your emotions this week, Gemini. It is OK if others see the truth about how you feel. Let others explore the honesty in your expression and actions.

Cancer

Leo

Virgo

R - Jun 22/Jul 22 CANCER Cancer, if you haven’t done so already, plan a trip to somewhere for a respite from the grind. Try to book something that is outside of your comfort zone. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, your energy is infectious and many people notice how well you keep going when others will simply tire out. You’ll need that energy for work this week, too. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, a big opportunity comes your way that you shouldn’t pass up. Resist the urge to point out all of the negatives and focus only on the positives for the time being.

NANAIMO

LIBRA A - Sept 23/Oct 23 There’s more than meets the eye to a particular situation, but you seem biased, Libra. Consider all sides of the situation before you decide which side you’re on.

Libra

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 It’s ﬁnally time for you to relax, Scorpio. After weeks of running here and there, you now have the opportunity to simply kick up your feet and enjoy yourself.

Scorpio

Sagittarius

Capricorn

Aquarius

Pisces

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 What you may view as some innocent comments could be viewed much differently from someone else, Sagittarius. It’s better to censor yourself when you can. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 There is no easy way around the work you have to get done, Capricorn, but there are plenty of helpers who may be able to pitch in and lend a hand. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Stop looking to others for solutions to your problems, Aquarius. The only one who is qualiﬁed to handle them is you and possibly a spouse or romantic partner. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, this week you feel like you’re walking around on a cloud. But you know well you have everything handled.

Wheatsheaf wins fastball final Inbrief

sports

ALL-NANAIMO series needs rubber match.

BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

After an entire regular season and a bestof-three final, only one run separated the champions from the runners-up. T h e W h e at s h e a f fastball club defeated Palladian Developments 8-7 on Thursday at May Richards Bennett Pioneer Park to win the Nanaimo Senior Men’s Fastball League title. The finale was worthy of a championship game, as both teams needed to compete hard until the final out. Wheatsheaf scored six runs in the first inning and built a margin that proved too much for Palladian to overcome. “It’s important in any game, but in the big games it’s especially important to get up early on them,” said Chris McCor mick, Wheatsheaf player. “We just hit the ball hard.” Blake H u n t e r, another Wheatsheaf player, said after his team lost Game 2 in extra innings, it made sure to be “ready and amped up” for the rubber match. It showed in

that big first inning. “When you do stuff like that it kind of brings the other team down and brings the energy level up on your side,” Hunter said. But Palladian nearly had a comeback in them. “It was tough,” Hunter said. “They’ve done it to us all year, every game, we’ve gone up and they’ve seemed to find a way to claw back.” The Wheaties will compete in the Western Canadian championships later this month, but in the m e a n t i m e, t h e y ’ l l enjoy this victory. “It’s the first one we’ve got as this group so it means a lot to all of us,” McCormick said. Lee Lucas was the winning pitcher and helped his own cause at the plate with a hit, a walk and a stolen base. Hunter had a hit, a walk and three RBIs and McCormick hit a two-RBI double. For Palladian, Mike Peters suffered the loss on the mound but led his team’s offence with a home run, a double and a walk. Steve Wallace hit two doubles. Wheatsheaf won Game 1 by a 9-3 score and Palladian took Game 2 in extra innings, 7-6. sports@nanaimobulletin.com
