Fire disrupts ferry service Aging vessel returns to service at Duke Point after repairs conducted by crews overnight BY CHRIS BUSH THE NEWS BULLETIN
A B.C. ferry was back in service on the Tsawwassen to Duke Point route a day after a fire put the vessel out of commission Tuesday. The Queen of New Westminster was out bright and early for its 5:15 a.m. sailing out of Tsawwassen Wednesday and has been put back into regular service. Crews worked overnight to replace damaged insulation in the bow thruster compartment and a fire detector sensor head, and conducted safety tests. A fire in a bow thruster compartment on the ship cancelled its sailings from Duke Point to Tsawwassen. The fire broke out Tuesday just after the Queen of New Westminster, bound for Duke Point, departed from Tsawwassen at 10:15 a.m. The vessel returned to the Tsawwassen terminal where passengers were evacuated via an overhead walkway. Deborah Marshall, B.C. Ferries spokeswoman, said two members of the crew were taken to hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation. “It’s my understanding they are OK,” Marshall said. “There were no serious injuries, which is very good news.”
Marshall said, to her knowledge, no one was in the bow thruster compartment when the fire broke out. The fire was knocked down by the ship’s fire suppression system and the deluge system was also activated on the main car deck. The fire and smoke were contained to the compartment. The deluge system uses the ship’s on-board water supply before switching over to sea water. “The area that we activated was towards the bow of the vessel,” Marshall said. “There were about 15 vehicles parked on the main car deck. They were actually parked at the stern of the ship, so they shouldn’t have been impacted at all.” Marshall said she was told the ship had only made it a short distance out of the Tsawwassen terminal before the fire started. B.C. Ferries’ fire party and the Delta fire department responded to the craft at the terminal. The ship was pulled from service for the remainder of the day. B.C. Ferries’ Coastal Inspiration, which also serves the Duke Point-Tsawwassen route, continued its regular schedule between the two terminals. ◆ See ‘CAUSE’ /4

Police investigate cruelty to cat BY NIOMI PEARSON THE NEWS BULLETIN
A Nanaimo woman is fuming from a ‘cat’astrophe that left her family’s feline friend Nelly bound in duct tape for a second time. Jennifer Paloposki has no idea who is behind the incidents, which took place Monday and earlier this month, but is hopeful someone in the community might. “What they did is wrong,” she said. “My cats don’t attack anybody, they’re not aggressive.” Nanaimo RCMP is investigating, believing several people may be involved in the incidents.
“It’s virtually impossible to control a cat and do something like that,” said Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman. “I’m sure the person would receive considerable scratches, would have to be heavily clothed and have gloves on. “We’re sure it’s someone who’s living in the area that’s taken an exception to this particular cat.” Nelly first showed up at Paloposki’s Chestnut Street home with painter’s tape on her body in the early hours of Oct. 1. Paloposki removed the tape herself, and began keeping her three cats in at night. However, when Nelly didn’t show up Sunday night, Paloposki became concerned. ◆ See ‘POLICE’ /4

Pipeline protest ends peacefully I
Nanaimo’s Jim Manly is back on Canadian soil after being detained for three days by Israeli officials. Manly, 79, a former two-term Vancouver Island Member of Parliament, was aboard the Finnish-registered ship Estelle Saturday when it was boarded by Israeli defence patrols. At least 17 crew members of the Estelle, which included MPs from Spain, Norway, Sweden and Greece, were attempting to pass through a legal Israeli blockade to deliver aid supplies to Palestinians in Gaza. Manly arrived in Toronto Wednesday morning and is expected to return home to Nanaimo today (Oct. 25).

Short circuit soaking Acting Lieut. Dan Multari floods the engine compartment of a Buick sedan through a headlight socket after the car caught fire on Albert Street Tuesday. The blaze broke out shortly after 4 p.m. while the car was parked. The cause of the blaze was attributed to an electrical malfunction. Firefighters dealt with a second vehicle fire in the 100 block of Finlayson Street that ignited shortly before 5 a.m. Wednesday. The file on that blaze has been turned over to the RCMP after an investigation by Rick Kwasnecha, Nanaimo Fire Rescue fire prevention officer, determined the fire was suspicious.
School celebrates 50 years BY NIOMI PEARSON THE NEWS BULLETIN
This weekend, hundreds of past and present students and staff of Park Avenue Community School will gather for a special event 50 years in the making. On Friday and Saturday (Oct. 26-27), the school is hosting its 50-year anniversary celebration and everyone is invited. “To me it’s a reunion,” said Brian Pettit, former principal and teacher. “A lot of people have gone through this school.” The fun will begin Friday morning with a pancake breakfast for current students and their families and guests, who will share their stories in the classrooms. At recess, Pettit will introduce some Australian games he used to play with school children back in the 1960s, ’80s and ’90s. The day will finish off with a sports challenge between current students and alumni. On Saturday, the school’s gym will open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. to the general public, and there will be an open house with guided tours, speeches, a slide show and entertainment. For $5, attendees can take part in lunch. There will also be sticky notes for attendees to write their memories of the school down on paper.
The school’s current principal, Karina Younk, said the planning committee has been meeting about once a month for about a year. “What’s been rich for me is seeing how long some people have invested their time into Park Avenue,” Younk said. “A lot of teachers have been here for over 20 years.” To mark the occasion, the committee compiled a 130-page ‘Book of Memories’, which contains messages and memories from former staff and students. Some of the memorable moments over the years include parades, musical performances and a visit from Canadian basketball star Eli Pasquale. “There was huge pride in how strong the basketball team used to be at Park Avenue School,” Younk said. Pettit, a past president of the Nanaimo Historical Society, said the book will contain interviews with former principals of the school and some history of the area. There will be copies available for purchase during the open house. Prior to its opening in 1962, the Little Red Schoolhouse, a primary school, operated on the same lot. Since that time, Park Avenue has undergone major renovations and changes. reporter3@nanaimobulletin.com

Nanaimo residents Mary Madsen and Dyane Brown were two of an estimated 3,500 people who took to the lawn of the provincial legislature in Victoria Monday to oppose major pipeline projects in British Columbia. Both Madsen and Brown said they were willing to be arrested during the Defend Our Coast demonstration, but were thankful they weren’t despite being part of a road blockade. No arrests were made during the day-long event despite coordinated civil obedience. “The organizers really wanted the day to be remembered for the message without any violence,” said Madsen. “There was good communication between organizers and police and that was the difference. I’m a grandmother of three and Dyane is in her 70s so we were both a little scared of being arrested but it’s an important issue for us, and we were willing to put ourselves at risk.” They participated in an eight-hour workshop guiding them through the civil disobedience process the day before the demonstration. The demonstration, along with its two dozen speakers, urged B.C. Premier Christy Clark and Prime Minister Stephen Harper to not allow a controversial pipeline that would transport oil from Alberta’s tar sands to Kitimat to be shipped by tanker to Asian markets. The group also opposes the twinning of Kinder Morgan’s existing Trans Mountain pipeline. Clark has set out five conditions that need to be met before it will allow any pipeline on B.C. land. NDP leader
FR EE POOL ALL DAY EVERY DAY
Adrian Dix has spoken against the Enbridge project, and said his party would establish its own environmental review. Madsen and Brown were two of more than 200 people who volunteered to participate in the action portion of the demonstration by standing with a 230-metre black banner meant to symbolize a supertanker. Erecting structures on the legislature’s lawn and blocking traffic are illegal. “We ended up being in the wave that blocked the road so if there was going to be any arrests it would probably have started there, so we were in a scary position,” said Brown. Both Brown and Madsen said they went into the demonstration to voice their concerns over the direction the federal government is taking the country and to defend the environment. After listening to the stories of First Nations who live near the tar sands, they said they came away with a more intimate objection to Canada’s largest polluter. “The people who live there, they say their hearts are broken,” said Brown. “They have no running water, extreme poverty, and their land is being polluted. Before it was about my grandchildren’s future and how I love this coast and want to protect it. When I left it was with a wider vision.” Smaller community rallies were held across B.C. on Wednesday. About 300 people voiced their opposition to the tar sands, pipeline and increased tanker traffic in front of NDP MLA Leonard Krog’s Nanaimo office at noon. Earlier this week, the Council of Canadians launched its No Pipelines, No Tankers tour, which is scheduled for Friday (Oct. 26) at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre.

Police aware of more incidents
◆ From /1 The next morning, Paloposki discovered Nelly at her front gate, after some searching. “You could tell she was scared, she was screaming,” she said. “She was walking but it was very awkward.” Ken Langelier, a veterinarian with Island Veterinary Hospital, and his team treated Nelly Monday, shortly after she was discovered. “If you know cats at all, they certainly don’t like having things on their feet, they don’t like having restriction to their ability to move and their tail is like a rudder,” he said. “In this case the cat’s
tail was taped to its body, the feet were taped fairly tightly, and with no air breathing through the tape they’d gotten quite moist.” He noted that there were bite marks in the tape, a sign that Nelly attempted to rescue herself. But the tape was bound so tightly that the veterinary team barely got the scissors underneath it. The experience can be a painful one, and Nelly was sedated for the removal. “When we take it off, we’re having to pull just like taking off a Band-Aid, where you’re pulling off hair,” Langelier said. He said he has concerns

that the incident has occurred more than once. “It’s a bizarre behaviour and I’m having trouble trying to figure out who would even think it’s funny. It’s just animal cruelty in its simplest form,” he said. The RCMP is aware of two other cat-taping incidences that took place in the Poplar Street area in September. If caught and convicted, the suspects could be charged. O’Brien’s advice for animal owners is to take precautions and keep their animals under control. “We want to put a stop to this before it escalates and an animal dies, that’s the
last thing we want to see,” he said. “If people are annoyed or disturbed over animals roaming through their neighbourhood, there’s ways to deal with that. One way is to determine who owns the cat and talk to the owner. Secondly, if that doesn’t work, animal services can be contacted to assist you. “There’s more compassionate ways to deal with the situation than what we’re seeing.” Anyone who might have information can call RCMP at 250-754-2345 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.crimestoppers.com.

Manslaughter conviction nets 18-month prison sentence BY DON BODGER BLACK PRESS
Alphonse Brendon Menard will serve 18 months in jail followed by a two-year term of probation for the shooting death of his father, Nanaimo businessman Tony Menard, 52. That sentence was handed down Monday morning in B.C. Supreme Court in Duncan by Judge Nathan Smith. Brendon Menard, 24, previously pleaded guilty to manslaughter. Crown prosecutor Scott Van Alstine had been seeking a prison term of between three and five years. Defence lawyer Bert King was lobbying for a suspended sentence. Smith faced imposing a decision ranging from life in prison to a suspended sentence based on past manslaughter cases of similar significance. “The sentences are all over the map,’’ he conceded. Outside the courtroom afterward, King said he didn’t have any qualms with the judge’s decision. “It’s as fair as it could ever be in my view,’’ he said. “Nobody could say that wasn’t fair in all of the circumstances.’’ King said he made it very clear to Menard and his family members that jail time was a real possibility. “There needed to be some deterrence for the other members of the public,’’ said King.
Menard’s family was united in its belief that he should not receive any jail time. “They were hopeful because of his diminished capacity and his epilepsy, that would prevail,’’ said King. He was sympathetic the family would be without a brother and a son for 18 months, but put the decision into perspective. “This is not life in prison,’’ said King. “Life goes on. “This is a very unusual case. This is not a bar fight.’’ King immediately dismissed any thought of an appeal. Family members left the courtroom distraught and friends of Tony Menard felt the sentence was too lenient. The two sides exchanged some verbal jarring outside the court. “I just thought it’s too bad Brendon’s got sent to jail,’’ said friend Eric Stevenson. “He’s a great guy.’’ The circumstances of the shooting revolved around a camping trip near Bamfield over three days in early July of 2010. “A large amount of alcohol had been consumed at the campsite on Friday and Saturday night,’’ noted Smith. Brendon, his dad and friends were shooting at bottles. Tony Menard had gone to set up new targets when Brendon fired five shots with a .22-calibre semiautomatic rifle with a scope. One of the bullets penetrated
Tony Menard’s heart, left lung, kidney and stomach. Brendon Menard was viewed as being in a zombie-like state after the shooting. He had been suffering from seizures for about five years. The complex partial seizures were characterized by disassociation and lack of awareness. Menard had taken various medications to control the symptoms from the seizures and the effects of a 2004 car accident. Alcohol consumption and a lack of sleep were known to be problematic for Menard. Through it all, “there was no evidence of any argument between Brendon Menard and his father,’’ Smith said. All indications are Menard was truly remorseful after the shooting and cooperated fully with authorities. Van Alstine stuck to his guns there was some intent because of the manner in which Menard aimed and raised his rifle. King said Menard, who has no criminal record, will be sent to Wilkinson Road in Victoria first for classification, adding he hoped Menard could eventually be placed at the Nanaimo Correctional Centre. Once Menard serves his 18 months, several conditions were placed on his probationary term, including a lifetime firearms prohibition.

Two fundraising campaigns have been launched to help the Nanaimo victims of a recent car crash on the Malahat Drive. Three Nanaimo women were killed and five people were injured in a two-vehicle collision at about 11:30 a.m. Oct. 14 along a non-median section of the highway near Whittaker Road. The women, along with one man, 20, and a girl, six, were travelling southbound on Highway 1 when the Honda SUV they were riding in crossed the centre line and collided with a northbound Chevrolet pickup. Pheap Top, 30, Diane Muriel Bacasca Bocacao, 19, and Gene Kloie Resu Jamisola, 16 – died at the scene, and the male passenger, J.R. Corpuz, and sixyear-old Sarina, Pheap Top’s daughter, were injured. All three passengers in the pickup were also injured in the crash. Randy Alvarez, a member of the Corpuz extended family, has launched a campaign to

help the immediate families. He said all of the passengers of the Honda were either related to one another or close friends – all four teens and adults worked together at the Rock City Tim Hortons location as well – and they were heading to Victoria to attend a birthday party. Alvarez said the family is torn between grieving for those lost and trying to focus positive energy on the recovery of Corpuz, who remains in hospital, and the fundraiser is his way of helping. “I’ve been in an emotional fog,” he said. “I’ve been immersed in trying to help the family as best I can and this is a way I can give back. Right now, the family is not working.” People can donate at www.
gofundme.com/Malahat-Tragedy-Oct14. Alvarez said the Rock City Tim Hortons is also collecting donations for the families. Chemainus resident Myles Vaux is raising money for Sarina Top. He arrived at the crash scene moments after it occurred and helped a firefighter rescue the young girl from the wreckage. He said it was a miracle the girl lived, as the car she was riding in was cut in half, but she’s lost her mother. Vaux plans to put the money in a trust fund for the girl’s future education and care expenses. To donate, please go to www. indiegogo.com/sarinatop. The B.C. Restaurant and Foodservices Association has donated $1,000 to help the families impacted and Pete Maltesen, owner of New York Style Pizza and chairman of the association’s Nanaimo branch, said the group is urging all hospitality workers to help out if they can. The B.C. Hospitality Foundation will also make a donation, he added. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Liberal leadership hopeful lands at conference centre
Everyone wants to compete against the other guys at their best.
BY JENN M C GARRIGLE THE NEWS BULLETIN
“The competition was really fierce – there’s a whole bunch of A-personality guys – but everyone’s super friendly, everyone’s helping each other out,” Brunton said. “There’s not that fierceness of competition as far as bad-mouthing guys. Everyone just got along. Everyone went out afterwards. Everyone wants to compete against the other guys at their best, so it was a really cool experience and really cool atmosphere too.” Ron Lambert, Nanaimo Fire Rescue chief, applauds Brunton’s accomplishment. “First off I think it’s quite an accomplishment given it was a North American event,” Lambert said. “The department is proud of his accomplishment and the level of dedication Drew exemplifies in both his professional and personal life and, of course, we’re fortunate to have Drew on the Nanaimo Fire Rescue team.” For more information about the Can-Am PoliceFire Games, please visit the games website at canam policefiregames.org.
Federal Liberal leadership candidate Deborah Coyne is in Nanaimo today to speak to local party members, supporters and the general public. Coyne is the first candidate to visit Nanaimo, said Beth Wood, vice-president of the Nanaimo-Alberni Federal Liberal Riding Association, but she expects more to come to the Harbour City – the leadership race officially begins Nov. 14, with voting to take place next April. “We’re hoping to host all of them,” she said. Coyne is a long-time Liberal, lawyer, university professor, constitutional activist, writer and mother of two children. She was an active participant in the constitutional debates on the Meech Lake and Charlottetown accords. “She’s a pretty accomplished woman,” said Wood. So far, Coyne, Justin Trudeau and Alex Burton, a Vancouver lawyer, have ◆ FEDERAL LIBERAL put their names leadership candidate in the hat for Deborah Coyne is the leadership at Vancouver Island race, but more Conference Centre are expected to tonight (Oct. 25), 6-8 do so before the p.m. The event is open Nov. 14 deadto the public. line, said Wood. What is new for this Liberal leadership race is that supporters will be able to vote on the new leader as well as members. Wood said party members decided on this new approach at the Liberal convention last January. People are able to sign up as supporters, which means they don’t have to pay a membership fee, as long as they are at least 18 years of age, are not a member of another political party and are eligible to vote in federal elections. “So far the party has signed up over 30,000 supporters across Canada and in B.C., about 3,500,” she said, adding that the Nanaimo-Alberni and Nanaimo-Cowichan riding associations have each signed up about 75 supporters. Wood said anyone is welcome to come to the meet and greet with Coyne, which takes place at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre’s Shaw Lobby from 6-8 p.m. tonight. The event is jointly hosted by the two local riding associations.

Toughest of the tough Nanaimo Fire Rescue firefighter tops North American police and fire games BY CHRIS BUSH THE NEWS BULLETIN
A
ll Drew Brunton wanted was for an exhausting day to be finally over as he prepared for his final event at the 2012 Can-Am Police-Fire Games. Brunton didn’t know at the time that he was about to claim the Toughest Competitor Alive title. “I just wanted the day to be over,” Brunton said. “It took a day or so for what I’d accomplished to sink in.” The games, hosted in St. Cloud, Minn., June 24 to July 1, draw competitors from 32 Canadian and U.S. emergency and protective services. Each participant competes in their age and weight category over the course of one day in eight track and field style events that include a five-kilometre run, shot put, 100-metre sprint, 100-metre swim, a six-metre, handsonly rope climb, bench press, pull-ups and obstacle course. Events – they run back-toback with about a 10-minute break between each one –
are scored on a point system. Brunton, 38, competing in the Can-Ams for the first time, beat 30 competitors, won a gold medal and bragging rights. Brunton came across the Can-Am games while researching the 2013 World Police and Fire Games to be hosted in Belfast, Ireland. “I was like, ‘This might be something fun to do because it involves the speed, endurance and technique and skill with all the shot-putting and climbing on the rope and different things like that,’” Brunton said. “So it was something where I thought it would be a good challenge. I’m always trying to challenge guys here at work and get guys here into more things, so I thought I’d put my money where my mouth was and just give it try and see how I would do.” Brunton, who hadn’t competed in track and field since grade school, trained for several months, balancing work and commuting from his home in Victoria with a training schedule that would hopefully allow him to maxi-
mize his competitiveness in all events while avoiding overtraining in any one skill and burn-out. “I got a few pointers from my wife who used to run track, so you’re just trying to piece together what you can,” he said. “It’s a fine line between how much time do you spend learning how to shot put really well – because in the end you might put it six more inches – but in the grand scheme of things what does six inches get you on a points scheme? So you’re trying to gauge what your strengths are, what your weaknesses are and what’s going to gain you the most points at the end of the day.” Every competitor is better at some events than others, so the key is to be as efficient as possible at each event while conserving energy. The skill applies to firefighters who must manage strength against endurance while working fire scenes. The intensity of competition was high, but participants supported and encouraged one another.

EDITORIAL
Protest raises some doubts If the number of people sitting on the steps of B.C.’s legislature or pounding signs into the lawn in protest of oil tankers on our coast and pipelines crossing the province is any indication, one has to ask just how many British Columbians are actually against Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline project? Approximately 3,000 people were in Victoria Monday for the Defend Our Coast protest. A far cry from what organizers anticipated to be the largest act of peaceful civil disobedience on the oil sands issue in Canada. Disobedience included staking a 235metre black banner (the length of a super tanker) across the legislature’s lawn. While protesters were prepared to go to jail for the cause, Victoria Police simply watched the banner – and the event – unfurl. If the media coverage and politicking by B.C. Premier Christy Clark and NDP leader Adrian Dix is to be believed, opposition to the oil issue has blanketed the province, with tens of thousands of residents fearing for the pristine coastline and super natural forests and valleys. If so, where were all these opponents when the chance to voice an opinion and hopefully make a difference presented itself? Could it be a good number of residents see the project as a good thing for the province? Do they see jobs for B.C. residents? Or tax dollars generated to pay for the services needed in Canada? Or perhaps the majority considers the projects a done deal and all the posturing is nothing more than a bunch of rhetoric – and that the oil will flow because the powers-that-be want it and to hell with the desires of the people and the future of the environment. Or even worse, they don’t care. It wouldn’t be the first time apathy raised its ugly head in British Columbia.

Headlines blared around the world. George details the Alberta Health Services study that followed, identifying three such cases in 12 years. Statistically higher, yes. A general risk? No. Other types of cancer in Fort Chipewyan were lower than the general population. This finding was endorsed by Australian, New Zealand, U.S. and Canadian researchers. The doctor who diagnosed the original bile duct cancers admitted: “These results were based on a small number of cases – there is no cause for alarm.” My point here isn’t to make fun of ill-informed celebrities. It’s to counteract the fawning, scientifically ignorant coverage they are routinely given by the mainstream media. I’m not promoting the oil sands or pipelines. I’m saying they should be considered based on facts, not foolishness. ◆ Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Shelter options available To the Editor, Re: Shelter a good compromise, Opinion, Oct. 16 I appreciate your comments about how challenging survival is for people without a permanent residence at this time of year, and would like to remind you of the facilities currently providing services for homeless individuals in our community. Island Crisis Care Society has operated Samaritan House continuously as a homeless shelter since 1989. When the Nanaimo Salvation Army opened the New Hope Centre in 2007, representatives from the province, the city, the health authority and the community met to discuss the best way to provide shelter services in Nanaimo. They decided Samaritan House would change to a women-only facility and the New Hope Centre would shelter men. Both shelters are 24-hour facilities and offer case management to clients to help them with their plans for the future. We make referrals to many different agencies in town who offer a lot of services. Samaritan House is an old Victorianstyle building, and with 20 low-barrier emergency beds and four transitional suites, it is very cramped. We recently purchased an empty lot next door and are in the planning stages for a new facility that will better meet the needs of the women we serve. On Nov. 16 between

Shelter options including the Island Crisis Care Society and Salvation Army’s New Hope Centre are available to the homeless in Nanaimo, says letter writer.
2-5 p.m., there is an open house at the shelter, 355 Nicol St., so the community can see what we are hoping to do and give input. The society also has several crisis stabilization houses and I invite you to check out our website at www. iccare.ca. Violet Hayes executive director Island Crisis Care Society
Poor a result of our system To the Editor, Re: ‘Solutions’ to help poor provide little in terms of results, Letters, Oct. 18. I want to address some impressions that Matt James has expressed about poor people – probably because he has not
spent a lot of time with this population or considered the broader economic picture. First, income inequality is growing at a faster rate in Canada than in many other countries. From 1982 to 2004, the top one per cent had their incomes double and it’s getting worse. There was no trickle-down effect from this. The bottom 60 per cent had almost no increase during that time. The segment above that had a slight increase in income. We know what inflation has done to our grocery bills and transportation costs during that time and the eight years since that. Housing, transportation and food are almost impos-
sible to sustain for those on the minimum wage. Those on a disability pension – which must be approved first by a doctor, an assessor, and a panel in Victoria – are in an even worse predicament. Not everybody who has a serious medical disability is in a hospital bed. They can be walking around, just barely and in pain, among us. If we want to attack the problem of poverty and homelessness, then we have to attack the system that has caused it. In the meantime, there are hungry and homeless, cold, shivering, wet, and suffering people right now in Nanaimo. Madeline Bruce Nanaimo

Canadians smart enough to build a safe pipeline To the Editor, Re: Protest over B.C. pipeline hits Nanaimo, Oct. 20. According to the article, the NDP, if it is elected next May, will do everything possible to ensure the Northern Gateway pipeline is not built. While it is admirable to see any political party make a positive statement of any sort in these days of bafflegab, this particular one is not only immature, it is absolutely ludicrous. Are there any benefits that would accrue to the construction of this pipeline? Certainly. Export dollars, construction jobs, permanent jobs, the opening of new markets and major income for two provinces and Canada as a whole. Are there any risks or dangers attached to the scheme? Again, most certainly. Increased tanker traffic off B.C.’s coast, the possibility of an oil spill in environmentally-sensitive areas which the pipeline must cross, the disturbance of wildlife habitat and a few others. Bearing in mind the huge benefits that could be reaped by the construction of this pipeline, should we not all be trying to figure out how it can be done with minimal risk or impact to the status quo? Instead, we Canadians have divided ourselves into two polarized groups – one of which is screaming “full ahead and damn the torpedoes” and the other saying “over my dead body.” How downright ridiculous. There is a lot of

brainpower in this country, and if we were prepared to employ some of it in a positive fashion instead of selecting a few facts and forming a rigid and immoveable opinion either way, perhaps we could come up with a way to enjoy the multiple benefits this pipeline offers while at the same time protecting the environment both on land and at sea. Perhaps this might take a bit of doing and it might be more expensive in the short term, but please don’t tell me that the nation that produced so many wonderful innovations in the past would come up dry this time. Let’s try to work out a way where we can have the best of both worlds. I do not believe it cannot be done until we have tried and failed. Garry Bradford Nanaimo
Oil must reach world market To the Editor, Re: Protest over B.C. pipeline hits Nanaimo, Oct. 20. Canada is the sixth largest oil producer on
the planet Earth and exports approximately two million barrels of oil a day. With each of those barrels, we attach a $20 “thank-you” note to our neighbours down south. That’s roughly $14 billion a year. The reason for that $20 thank-you note is that the only folks we are allowed to sell our oil to is the U.S. There is no way to deliver Canadian oil (your oil and my oil) to world markets where we would get real-time, live oil pricing. We Canadians need that pipeline to get our oil to world markets. Building it should not be a question in anyone’s mind. The only question should be how we build it. Safety, environmental impact etc., should be all part of the solution fervently being engineered as we speak. The real issue is a lack of national perspective. People who oppose the pipeline just don’t understand what an extra $14 billion dollars a year in private sector income can do for this country. They are also the same folks who have no faith in Canada’s ability to innovate, engineer, build, or compete on a world-class basis. They simply say Canadians just can’t do it right, so don’t do it. The other thing is that the U.S. is not in the charity business. It wants cheap oil for a reason, and it’s not so Canada can be a better place to live and raise your kids.

Plans for ‘trench’ all wrong To the Editor, Re: Senior staff rule council, Letters, Oct. 20. It may appear to be none of my business that the ‘Terminal Trench’ study is going ahead but, it is my and other’s tax money being spent on a speculation that there is garbage laying under the mine tailings within the private industrial properties. Of course there is oil residue and the odd piece of garbage under those buildings. There is also a natural spring and the circa 1853 HBC Pemberton map of Colville shows two spring locations. I am assuming the springs have been piped, but what are we going
to do when they find these old pipes? This alone is a big can of worms. It is also the location of auto dealerships and motor repair shops. Everyone polluted oils excessively, tossing oil on the dirt roads back in the day. There was no such thing as recycling. If we are worried about accumulating gases then simply drill holes and ventilate. Of course there are gases – Nanaimo sits on old coal mines. The city has its priorities wrong. Fix the evident environmental problems first. Businesses are leaving the downtown core and there are many vacancies with one
more known to be closing by month end. It would be a different situation if there was a shortage of rental properties in the downtown core. There is absolutely no reason to be investing in new buildings or property value strategies at this point in time. Matt James Nanaimo
Gaza aid boat lacks support To the Editor, Re: Nanaimo man on aid mission held by Israelis, Oct.23. I agree with Nanaimo-Alberni MP James Lunney that the aid boat to Gaza is not supported by millions of Canadians.

Prosperity is attached to oil To the Editor, Re: Protest over B.C. pipeline hits Nanaimo, Oct. 20. I would think antipipeline protesters would be linking arms to celebrate the demise of Northern Gateway rather than forming a “wall of opposition” to it. But perhaps they don’t follow the news. Most of what I’ve read lately points to Northern Gateway being, as one writer put it, a “dead pipeline walking.” And the fickle finger of fault is pointed mainly at pipeline builder, Enbridge Inc. Besides having some high-profile pipeline spills, Enbridge neglected to go to school on other large B.C. projects that have failed due to environmental concerns. It underestimated the impact of First
Nation unhappiness and B.C.’s environmental protest industry. Not to mention the funding of those groups by various U.S. foundations. And the ‘green’ movement certainly wouldn’t be interested in the improvements to equipment and methods used in transporting oil. Naturally the NDP, smelling the envirovote, jumped into the anti-pipeline parade. Nanaimo MLA Leonard Krog, showing the party’s usual lack of economic sense, claims there is “very little, if any, fiscal upside” to the pipeline. How did he miss the employment impact of construction and operations, or the revenue producing taxing options, or even the possibility of equity shares in the project and therefore a share of development profits? More than one-third of the taxes generated by oil and gas development go to Ottawa, paying for services in every part of the country, including B.C. How can the tax-andspend NDP be so oblivious to the obvious? Jim Corder Nanaimo

Our government According to is ramming through author and investiga-
tive journalist Andrew Nikiforuk, writing for the Tyee, “The deal does not require provincial consent. It comes without any risk-benefit analysis. And it can be ratified into law without parliamentary debate.” Why would anyone want to sell out our interests, democratic processes and future like this? And why would we put up with it? On the first question, Gus Van Harten, an international investment law professor at Osgoode Hall Law School, told Desmog Blog we must consider the possibility that government and industry know that changes in attitudes about fossil fuel extraction “may lead to new regulations on the oil patch, in that, climate can’t just be wished away forever, and that governments might take steps to regulate the oil patch in ways that investors wouldn’t like.” He continues, “If you bring in a lot of Chinese investments, and
you sign the Canada investment deal, you kind of get the Chinese investors to do your dirty work for you.” As the world recognizes the already extreme and increasing consequences of global warming and shifts from wastefully burning fossil fuels to conservation and renewable energy, tar sands bitumen may soon become uneconomical. The goal is to dig it up, sell it and burn it as quickly as possible while there’s still money to be made. It’s cynical and suicidal, but it’s the kind of thinking that

Airport contest aims to improve awareness
Nanaimo Airport is launching an information campaign and contest to improve awareness among residents of changes to the regional airport. In the online Flying Ace Challenge, residents can test their knowledge and enter to win two flights to Los Cabos, Mexico, from Nanaimo with Air Canada Vacations. The challenge runs until Nov. 30. Participants will be asked to answer six multiple choice questions at NanaimoAirport.com, and provide their contact information to enter. The questions are focused on the top six misconceptions about the Nanaimo Airport: reliability, connectivity, travel costs, runway length, frequency and charter connections. “Even with all the efforts we have put into getting the message out about our improved reliability, and enhanced services, our team is continually surprised by how many people just don’t know the about the new efficiencies at the Nanaimo Airport,” said Mike Hooper, airport president and CEO. “It’s critical we create a new baseline of awareness for residents so they can make well informed travel choices.” Since January, passenger numbers at Nanaimo Airport saw double-digit growth each month, which is credited to the airport’s improved reliability. “The Instrument Landing System (ILS) we installed in 2010 has really been a game changer for us,” said Hooper. “Previously residents avoided flying from YCD in the winter because of the fog. However, now that we have improved our weather reliability rating to over 99 per cent year round, we need to get the word out to further restore our reputation and increase passenger numbers. Increased passenger numbers are a key factor in attracting new carriers.” Nanaimo Airport, the Island’s third-largest, is a not-for-profit authority owned by the Nanaimo Airport Commission, serving primarily the central-Island area.

Pipeline construction forces road closure BY JENN M C GARRIGLE THE NEWS BULLETIN
People travelling to Nanaimo’s backcountry will have to avoid the start of Nanaimo Lakes Road for the next week or so. A portion of the area will be closed until Nov. 3 while the city installs pipelines across the road to service the new reservoir at Colliery Dam Park. The area affected is between Benson Road and Lincoln Road, but people can still access Nanaimo Lakes Road via Harewood Mines Road, said Bill Sims, the city’s manager of water resources.
“We need to essentially get the water to the reservoir,” he said. Once the tie-ins are completed, the pipeline will continue alongside the roadway, so people can expect traffic slowdowns, including closing down one lane, for the next few months until this work is complete Sims addedt. Work on this part of the project began Monday. Sims said the city is concerned about speeding on this section of road and he hopes to have a temporary speed board up during construction as well as flag people. The city is replacing the open-air Reservoir No. 1 with an enclosed reservoir and energy recovery facility that is expected to generate enough electricity to power 60-70 houses and about $90,000 per year in revenue for the city from B.C. Hydro. Sims said the tree clearing work is complete and construction of the storage tank and energy recovery facility is expected to begin early next year and completed in the spring of 2014. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Pumpkin sales good for health While a well-recognized symbol of Halloween, pumpkins have more than one use thanks to the generosity of Thrifty Foods. Until Oct. 31, $1 from the sale of every B.C. pumpkin sold at all 28 Thrifty Foods locations will be donated to 14 hospital foundations throughout Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland and on Salt Spring Island. “We are proud to partner with and support local hospitals, hospital foundations and other healthfocused organizations raising funds for much-needed medical equipment,” said Jim

The public, especially seniors, are advised to be aware after an incident involving a fraudulent service repair man going door-to-door in north Nanaimo. The incident occurred on Oct. 17 and involved a male knocking on doors in the Dunster Road area, passing himself off as a furnace repair man. The suspect male knocked on the front door to the home of a elderly female and presented a business card to her. The card was from an existing service company in Nanaimo recognized with the Better Business Bureau. The male told the senior he was offering estimates for work on furnaces and convinced her to allow him into her home. He worked on the duct work around the furnace and after 10 minutes told her she needed several hundreds of dollars of repairs. He then asked for payment up front and she gave him a cheque to cover off the work. The male never returned. The suspect male is described as a large, white male with brown hair and was driving a large, white truck.

arts Addiction battle inspires album Dark journey to sobriety chronicled in Dope Sick, Madchild’s deeply personal debut solo project BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN
D
arkness became a catalyst for change and creative inspiration in Madchild’s life. Madchild, aka Shane Bunting, from the Swollen Members battled addiction. The fight with drug addiction and dependence on Oxycontin, a synthetic substance similar to heroin, pushed him to death’s door. He suffered an incident where his left arm went numb and his lips went purple. He was rushed to the hospital and after that he began the path to sobriety. That dark journey is the foundation for his debut solo album Dope Sick. “It absolutely focuses on the whole gambit, focuses on the whole range of addiction,” said Madchild. “It was four and a half years of trial and tribulations as an Oxycontin addict. The first year of sobriety is difficult. “It takes time to become yourself again and you come back to this ugly reality you created.” Confronting his addiction led him to some inspiring moments. “It’s definitely confronting the darkness I’ve gone through but also the light,” he said. Madchild said his band mates from Swollen Members have been very supportive of him doing a solo album. He said it’s been a great opportunity to create the solo proj-
ect because it allows him to show different sides of himself. “There is something special and exciting as a veteran in the genre and being able to start over,” he said. “It’s just refreshing and fun and exciting.” Dope Sick also allowed Madchild become more creative with his videos. He created what he calls “mini movies” for his music videos. The video for the song Monster features a group of campers who are attacked by zombies in the woods. “I’m trying to lead by example and put thought into the visual as well,” he said. He said the video for the song Jitters is kind of “Silence of the Lambs like.” Madchild’s songs are created by “gathering words.” He often walks by himself and writes down thoughts that come to him. After he has a pile of words he starts assembling them like a giant puzzle. “I call that gathering up my arsenal,” he said. Madchild performs with guests The New Addiction and SirReal at the Spice Lounge Wednesday (Oct. 31) Doors open at 9 p.m. Tickets $15 available at the Queen’s and Guava Apparel.

Pianist romances audience with Chopin and Schubert Sayuri Kubota is romancing her audience with the touch of a key. The pianist is holding a recital Saturday (Oct. 27) to perform pieces from the Romantic Era including Schubert, Brahms and Chopin. Kubota began taking piano lessons when she was four and wanted to become a professional pianist. However, life took her on a different path and she became a mathematics teacher instead. Yet, piano playing remained in her life – a hobby she practiced when she had time. She began taking lessons again. For the past seven and a half years she has been training with Teresa Marusarz-Borek. Kubota will perform four impromptus by Franz Schubert, two rhapsodies by Brahms, and Andante Spianato and Grand Polonaise by Chopin. The recital starts at 7:30 p.m. at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, 4235 Departure Bay Rd. Admission is by donation. Proceeds go to the Nanaimo Conservatory of Music.

Naughty and Spice’s Halloween Extravaganza features music by Dead Man’s Trio; guest performances by Jemma Riot, River Wilde and Nymh Fete; vendors and more.

The troupe is partnering with the Spirit of Halloween store, located at 6461 Metral Dr., and the Spice Lounge to raise money for the B.C. Children’s Hospital. The store is donating a portion of the money from costume sales to the hospital. The troupe is donating $1 from every ticket and the Spice Lounge is donating $2 for people that come to the after-party and show their ticket stub. “Everyone is jumping on board to help make this show a huge success and benefit the hospital as well.

V.I., LANGLEY play Saturday for Cullen Cup.

Clippers host rival Capitals BY GREG SAKAKI
THE NEWS BULLETIN
This showdown has been shaping up all season long, really. The V.I. Raiders and Langley Rams have long guessed that they were going to meet in the B.C. Football Conference championship game, and now it’s right in front of them. The Raiders and Rams play for the Cullen Cup this Saturday (Oct. 25) at 1 p.m. at Nanaimo’s Caledonia Park. V.I. (10-0-1) beat Langley (8-2-1) twice during the regular season, but they know the Rams are dangerous, with a leaguebest 11 all-stars, compared to seven on the Raiders. “They’re very talented everywhere and they’re fast and they’re also b i g a n d p hy s i c a l , ” said Matthew (Snoop) Blokker, Raiders coach. “We know they’re going to make plays. It’s the timing of the plays that’s important.” B l o k ke r s a i d h i s defence will need to make Rams quarterback G re g B owc o t t l o o k off his first reads and throw to his second or third choices, instead of his first choices, Nick Downey and Malcolm Williams. “We’ve got to make that team earn everything

V.I. Raiders player Andrew DeLeon, middle, gains ground on a kick return during a game against the Langley Rams earlier this season. The teams play Saturday (Oct. 25) in the B.C. Football Conference final at Caledonia Park.
they get and not just cheap freebies,” Blokker said. “We’ve got to make them work the whole length of the field.” On the other side of the ball, the Rams are led by the BCFC’s Defensive Player of the Year, Adam Konar and company, who will be tasked with trying to stop Raiders QB Jordan Yantz, the BCFC Offensive Player of the Year, and his veteran receiving corps. B l o k ke r s a i d t h e Raiders’ game plan on offence centres around
giving Yantz time to throw the football. “We have to change up some protection things to be a little more successful at that and be more motivated,” said the coach. “They’re a very physical team up front and we’ve got to compete against that.” Motivation shouldn’t be a problem for either team. The Lorne Cullen Cup will be there on the sidelines, a trophy that the Raiders have lifted six straight years. An even greater prize
is the knowledge that B.C.’s champion gets to host the Canadian Bowl national championship game two weeks later. So there are great spoils to the victor. And the alternative is almost unthinkable for graduating players like Yantz. “It’s a little bit more hunger, and that much more will to win when you know that you’re down to your bitter end,” he said. “You know that it’s do or die.”

A couple of one-goal losses aren’t going to have the Nanaimo Clippers crumpling up the game plan and starting over. The city’s B.C. Hockey League team (6-6-0-1) plays two more home games this Friday (Oct. 26) and Saturday at Frank Crane Arena, hosting the Cowichan Valley Capitals and then the Powell River Kings. Nanaimo is coming off a weekend in which it lost 5-4 to the Chilliwack Chiefs and 3-2 to the Victoria Grizzlies. Trevor Fitzgerald, Clippers captain, said he and his teammates played with effort and desire, but put themselves in a position where a few bad bounces cost them. “We kind of left it up to chance,” he said. “Good teams find a way to win and we’ve got to start doing that again.” This week at practice, he said, the team was intending to get back to fundamentals. “Making passes on the tape all the time, good dumps all the time, finishing your check all the time, all the little things that you can do,” Fitzgerald said. “The better you are at those, the easier the games are going to be.” The Clippers have been talking about preparation and focus. ◆ See ‘EFFORT’ /B2

Harris gets to 1,000 I FORMER V.I. RAIDER reaches rushing mark with two games to go. BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
Even pro football defences have a hard time slowing down Andrew Harris. The former V.I. Raiders great reached the 1,000-rushing-yards milestone on Friday as he and his B.C. Lions beat the Edmonton Eskimos 39-19 in Canadian Football League play at B.C. Place stadium. Harris is only the ninth Canadian player in CFL history to reach the mark. He went into the game needing 17 yards and gained 42, as the Eskimos didn’t make it easy for him. “Their defensive coordinator came up to me before the game and said, ‘You’re not going to have a good game today; our whole game plan is to stop you.’ So I knew it was going to be tough,” Harris related. “But it’s also humbling in a certain way when a team is already keying onto you in the CFL.” He said he was more concerned that night with trying to help the Lions win and clinch first place in the Western Division, but said it was pretty cool to make it to 1,000. “It’s a combination of completing a goal and accomplishing some-

The VIU Mariners know just how close they’ve come, now, to achieving a goal. Vancouver Island University’s men’s soccer team is getting ready to start play at the Pacific Western Athletic Association provincial championships this coming weekend (Oct. 27-28) in Squamish. The M’s (8-1-5) finished the regular season this past weekend with a pair of 1-1 ties on the road, but the results didn’t matter much. VIU had already sewed up the No. 2 seed going into PacWest provincials. It’s an enviable position. Because the topseeded Douglas Royals are hosting the Canadian Colleges’ Athletic Association national championships next month, B.C. gets two berths.

Douglas Royals player Raaqim Amijee, left, and Vancouver Island University Mariners opponent Dan Cato compete during a game earlier this season at Mariner Field. The teams are favoured to meet in Sunday’s provincial final in Squamish.
“As much as we’re excited to hear that, as much as we hope that happens, we try to keep that from our mind,” said Stephen Ewashko, VIU midfielder. “The biggest focus is winning that first game. We win that first game, we see what
the result is and we go from there.” If all goes as expected this weekend, the M’s just need to worry about winning that semifinal game Saturday against Thompson Rivers University. Rarely is the playoff picture so clear.
“We can take everything we have right now and focus on that first game, where usually going into provincials you’re not quite sure what’s going to happen,” said Bill Merriman, VIU coach. The TRU WolfPack are a physical team

that tends to play the Mariners tough, but the M’s plan to bring their best to the postseason and they don’t think any opponent will be able to match them. VIU has been to two straight national tour naments, winning it all in 2010, and this season has been all about getting back there. “That was our focus from Day 1, from preseason training,” Ewashko said. “We didn’t want to hide it, I wasn’t worried about jinxing us or anything like that, I knew we had a strong team. This is when it all counts and this is why we did all that work.” ◆ See ‘SOCCER’ /B7

Soccer changes at playoff time ◆ From /B4 Most of the core of VIU’s men’s soccer team has played in big games before, and won or lost. But playoffs will be a new experience for a few of the M’s. There are differences between regular-season soccer and playoff soccer, said Bill Merriman. “They’ll see a lot from both sides of the field,” said the coach. “From our own team pushing them as well as the other teams lifting their game up that one more step. Because obviously TRU knows the same thing we know – you win that first game, you’ve got a great shot at going to nationals.” Robbie Cochrane, VIU goalkeeper, said his team intends to show what it’s made of at provincials. “There’s no, ‘Oh, we can do it next game.’ It’s do or die, right? You leave everything on the field no matter what and you run until you can’t breathe anymore,”
he said. “We would do anything to get [to nationals] again. Even if we have to take a couple cards, sacrifice your limbs … People will sacrifice anything to get there and I know I will, too.” So there’s the determination, and there’s the belief, as well. “We’ve faced every team in the league. I know that we’re better than every team in the league,” Stephen Ewashko said. “No matter how it works out, we’re going to fight till the end.” SOCCER TALK … PacWest announced its year-end awards on Tuesday. Ewashko and Matt Mehrassa were chosen firstteam all-stars and Dan Cato, Ben Leggett and Chris Merriman get second-team all-star nods … VIU women’s soccer players Samantha Rodgers and Shelby Walker were named to the league’s second all-star team.
T h e r e ’s a lw ay s something on the line in the Border Battle game, but this year, maybe there’s a little extra at stake. The Barsby Bulldogs and the Ballenas Whalers varsity football teams play their annual rivalry matchup this Friday (Oct. 26). Barsby and Ballenas have separated themselves as
the top teams in B.C. High School Football’s AA varsity Western Conference, with both posting perfect 4-0 records in league play. It’s a rare Fridaynight-lights high school football game in Nanaimo, with a 7 p.m. kickoff time at Beban Park’s Merle Logan Field. Admission is free.

The Nanaimo Buccaneers say they’ve been guilty of some inconsistent play in recent weeks. Perhaps there’s no better opponent to get them back on track than the Oceanside Generals. The Bucs’ burgeoning rivalry with their nearest neighbours continues tonight (Oct. 25) as the teams meet at the Nanaimo Ice Centre. For the Buccaneers (6-9), it’s the first of two straight meetings against the Generals (5-9-2) as the teams will play again on Saturday in Parksville. Tonight’s game is a 7:15 p.m. faceoff at the NIC. Tickets cost $9 for adults, $8 for seniors and students and $5 for children ages six-12.

Heartburn Reflux
By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,P PhD.
The USDA now recommends to eat 50% alkaline food (vegetables, legumes, salads, fruit). Health professionals suggest 80% alkaline food. Unfortunately, North American people eat 90% acidic food (meat, pasta, rice, bread, pastries, sweets, junk food). If you cannot change your diet to USDA’s 50% or closer to 80% alkaline food, consider to supplement with a natural health product that helps to increase your pH alkaline level close to a healthy #7. Ask for Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39. It’s inexpensive, has no side effects and may eliminate the need for anti-acid pills many people take. As a bonus, an alkaline balanced body prevents many illnesses. See guarantee printed on box. Reflux gave me a sore throat and I could not sing in the church choir anymore. After taking Bell #39 I have no more reflux and rejoice in singing again. Helene Giroux, 65, Quebec, QC Have family history of heartburn. For last 10 years I suffered a lot with acid reflux. I told all family members about #39 being all natural, giving quick relief and having no side effects. Michael Fasheh, 49, Port Ranch, CA Very happy with acid reflux relief. Last 4 years had increasing reflux #39 despite taking anti-acid products. I am also trying to eat more alkaline food. Grzegorz Smirnow, 43, Mt. Prospect, IL

Campaign recruits people to Christian faith Nanaimo pastors and church leaders will get a sneak peak on Friday (Oct. 26) at the My Hope campaign launched Canada-wide by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association next year. “The My Hope ministry has been very successful in helping lead peo-
ple to Christian faith in the developing world – for example, more than 2.7 million made commitments in India in 2006, more than 340,000 in Brazil in 2008 and at least 168,000 in Malawi in 2010,” the association stated in a press release. Initially launched in 2002, My
Hope works through local churches to train Christians to invite neighbours, co-workers, and friends into their homes for a meal or dessert. While there, they watch a television broadcast or DVD presentation from Billy or Franklin Graham, faith testimonies and music.
The association hopes to recruit thousands of church members across Canada before Nov, 13, 2013, the date for the Canada-wide My Hope telecast. The sneak peek takes place at the First Baptist Church, from noon to 2 p.m. TELUS STORE OR AUTHORIZED DEALER

GREAT THANKS to the person who turned my wallet in to a gas station in Cedar. I had put my wallet on top of the car while filling up, drove away with it like that and it fell off on Cedar Road. I appreciate your honesty. You saved me a whole lot of trouble replacing my ID, especially since I am about to leave on a trip and would not have had time to do so. EXTRAORDINARY BOUQUETS to the hundreds of volunteers – past, present and future – of the Harbour City Football Club (formerly the Nanaimo and District Youth Soccer Association). They enable thousands of our young people to enjoy the beautiful game. A HUGE BOUQUET to our realtor Mark Koch of Re/Max of Nanaimo. You made purchasing our house a positive experience. We appreciate your building knowledge, professionalism and endless effort to answer all our questions. MANY THANKS to Jealine (hope I got the name correct) and Jan at the Nanaimo Clippers office for tracking us down and returning our cellphone. A MEGA THANK YOU BOUQUET to all the friendly people I have met in the East Wellington area. They are still watching out for Copper, my orange, declawed tabby missing since Aug. 10. He came from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Copper is greatly missed. If you have seen him, please call Betty at 250-585-7738. A NICE BOUQUET to the Sons of Norway group for their excellent event for the whole community.
THANKS MANY TIMES OVER to Marci, Paul and Colin of Mid-Island Stucco and Jari at First Choice Fibreglass and Sundecks for coming to my rescue. So happy to know that "Holmes on Homes" isn't just a fairy tale. A PAT ON THE BACK K for all the scuba divers and others who participated in a cleanup at Stones Marina and Boatyard. Everyone who was outside in the horrible weather deserves praise. Volunteers brought up more than 900 kilograms of garbage from the ocean floor. Way to go divers and shore help alike. HEARTFELT THANKS to Glenn, Jhan and Liana for all the hard work they have done and the positive results achieved. Words cannot express my gratitude to you all. A BEAUTIFUL PRIVATE HEDGE BOUQUET to Pat Van Hest at Art Knapp Plantland for going above and beyond with customer service after we had problems with some trees we purchased. Not only did he replace the trees with beauties, but he also came to our house to see our growing conditions. Thanks for all your advice and expertise, the trees look great. We have always found all of your staff to be helpful and pleasant. A BOUQUET to everyone who was able to help out at the Nanaimo and Area Land Trust’s Bottles for the River event. Thanks to your determined efforts on a soggy, blustery day and the donations from supporters and passersby, we raised almost $1,500 toward stewardship activities for the Nanaimo River watershed.

THANKS to Lucky’s Liquor Store for providing a space for the Nanaimo and Area Land Trust's bottle drop-off, a donation equivalent to two per cent of sales on the day and the various other ways staff lent their support to the group's bottle drive. THANKS ALSO to the Terminal Park Starbucks for providing coffee and hot water and to Country Club Centre. MANY THANKS to Allison for being a cool, thoughtful, funny, bossy, beautiful and amazing teacher/co-worker/friend. I'm sad to see you leave. I'm going to miss your weekly whiteboard drawings. A THANK YOU to the group of people who picked up trash along Tenth Street recently. The street looks a thousand times better. THANK YOU to Granny for always being there to look after our wee ones and the three-legged guy. We would be lost without you. A BIG BOUQUET to Char who has spent the whole summer in cancer treatment. Not once did you lose you smile and sense of humour. You are such an inspiration to me. Positive thinking and a happy attitude all helps and I am so pleased you are on the road to recovery. A BIG BUNCH OF BLOOMS to my wife who has overcome a shoulder injury and been able to go back to

A BEEF F to the human complaining about someone who wrote in as their pet. A big fat beef to you for saying animals don't have souls. You are an expert in such matters I am sure. Also, what difference does it make to you if someone chooses to do that? Stop being a busy body. A BEEF F to people who complain about gas prices. It costs what it costs. If you don't like it, drive less or buy a more fuel-efficient vehicle. Better yet, try walking. The fresh air might make you less of a curmudgeon. BEEFS OF PLAYGROUND BLUES to the downtown workers who park their vehicles around the Nob Hill playground. There is no room for parents to park who want to take their kids to play in the playground there. Shame on the city for allowing this.

TWO BEEFS. Would the driver of the white van featuring a human arm hanging out the back please not park in front of the funeral home. And would drivers of right-hand vehicles please not let their dogs ride in the front passenger seat.
her passion of dog grooming. I hope you do well in your new business after dealing with so many obstacles over the past three years. Stay fit and healthy. Good luck to you and Pooch Parlour.
A BIG BEEF F to the local gas stations that raised gas prices to more than 12 cents a litre for the Thanksgiving Day weekend. This is unethical and just a way to gouge the public.
A HUGE BOUQUET OF GRATITUDE to Mary Ann, who found my cellphone case and advertised it in the paper. Then, going out of her way, she delivered it to me.
A BEEF F to the person beefing about the traffic controllers smoking on the job. They smoke because of people like you speeding through their work zones, talking on cellphones. I think I would smoke, too. Please pay attention, it's their lives on the job, not yours.
A BOUQUET AND CONGRATULATIONS to Hank of Hank’s Cycle Shop for 50 years of running his shop in Nanaimo. A GENTLE BOUQUET OF BEEF F to the person who took my paint tray, roller and brush from the house on the corner of Morpeth and Cadogan streets. This was not a free sidewalk item. It was leaning against the fence. Please bring it back. A BOUQUET to the nice summer and fall weather that we have F about enjoyed, but A REAL BEEF the outdoor patio and sandwich signs that have spread on the sidewalks so someone with a walker or a wheelchair can't get by unless they go on the street. A BEEF F to the lady whose unleashed brown dog killed the innocent little stray rooster on Loudon Park and Walkway. Keep your dogs leashed.
A DRIVING BEEF F to all Nanaimo drivers. Stop signs aren't big enough or drivers just can’t read. Playground zone speeds are ignored. Please remember, if there is no speed sign posted, the speed limit on city streets is 50 km/h. A BEEF F to the person who has been dumping large garbage bags full of dog poo in Nanaimo's backcountry.

July 5, 1940 ~ October 21, 2012 With heavy hearts and great sadness we announce the peaceful passing of Mina Philip. Predeceased by her loving, radiant daughter Kathleen Beattie earlier this year. Survived by her husband of 55 years, James; son Michael; daughter Terri-Lynne and husband Lee; son-in-law Brian; brother and sister-in-law John & Heather Cowan; a team of 10 grandchildren, 6 great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. Mina was the pillar of strength for her family. Born in Toronto, Mina came to call Nanaimo home in 1946 and here is where she built her life. Mina had a very active life becoming May Queen in 1952 and working with the girl guides in the Wellington area while her daughters attended, as well as years of volunteering for Nanaimo Track and Field. Her love of gardening led to many years as treasurer of the Orchid Society of Vancouver Island. A long time member of the Nanaimo Power Squadron, many years were spent on the water sailing, ďŹ shing and beach-combing, eventually coming to own Zaca which she dearly loved. While on their many travels, Mina would always help the less fortunate around them in hopes of helping them have a better life. Her ďŹ nal years were spent supporting and guiding her family, Mina will be greatly missed. There will be an open gathering for family and friends at the Nanaimo Yatch Club, 400 Newcastle Avenue, Nanaimo BC on Saturday, October 27th from 1-3p.m. All are welcome.
