Hotel tax exemption sees interest, but no construction to date

MAYOR CONFIDENT hotel will be built in downtown Nanaimo. BY TOBY GORMAN THE NEWS BULLETIN

CHRIS BUSH/THE NEWS BULLETIN

Like clockwork Ryan McGorman, left, and Carlos Carvalho, of Carlos Carvalho Masonry, prepare stone slabs Friday afternoon for a clock, donated by the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, which will be installed on the waterfront at McGregor Park. The slabs, donated by K2 Stone, will form the bench and planter around the base of the clock. JSK Traffic Services was also donating time to the project.

One year after city council approved its controversial Revitalization Tax Exemption bylaw as an incentive to increase up-to-standard hotel rooms downtown, no hotel developers or companies have officially applied to take advantage of the tax break. Council passed the motion Feb. 27, 2012, mostly to attract developers to build a conference centre hotel to help bolster delegate numbers for the underutilized Vancouver Island Conference Centre. The conference centre is capable of hosting up to 1,300 delegates at a time, but the downtown area is only equipped with about 400 rooms council sees as fit enough to accommodate delegates. Mayor John Ruttan, who made building a conference centre hotel a priority when first elected in 2008, said there have been discussions with interested developers over the past four years but the economic climate remains soft enough that there has been no commitment. “We have had some inquiries

and we’re working on one now that would be contingent upon the bylaw’s consideration,” said Ruttan, noting there has been ongoing interest from offshore organizations interested in building the conference centre hotel. “Like any incentive it’s offered with the hopes it will draw something in but for something like this it takes time, but I think a hotel will be built.” He added there are two other projects in the preliminary stages of discussion that could also benefit from the exemption, though nothing concrete has emerged yet. The bylaw provides a 10-year tax exemption for new hotels or rebuilds with a minimum $2-million investment, but would not diminish the existing tax base. Existing motels and hotels that improve guest services, add rooms or improve the overall quality of stay for the visiting public are also eligible for some tax savings. It is estimated that a new conference centre hotel worth $25 million would receive about $330,000 annually in tax breaks for the 10-year period. “Looking back I still believe it was the right thing to do at the time and as we move along, I’m confident it will bear fruit and be a successful move,” said Ruttan. reporter2@nanaimobulletin.com

Uplands housing project reaches permit stage BY TOBY GORMAN THE NEWS BULLETIN

Some final architectural tweaks have been made to the 33-unit Uplands Walk supportive housing project as it heads toward the development permit application stage. The Nanaimo Design Advisory Panel approved the schematic design last month for the project at 6025 Uplands Dr., and the drawings will be part of the permit application expected to be submitted in April. If approved, construction on the project could begin as early as June with occupancy set for 2014. “There are still quite a few steps to take before we get to ground breaking but we’re moving ahead,” said Karyn French, executive director of Pacifica Housing, project operator. “We’re now looking at pricing and costing, schematic design, and then we’ll be going to tender for construction.” The original plan of 35-40 units was deemed too many according to input provided by the community at two open houses last April and June, so the number of units has been dropped to 33. Also dropped were 10 units reserved for tenants aged 19-29. Instead, the entire facility will house people aged 45 or older who are homeless or at risk of being homeless. “Certainly the site can hold more tenants but through community feedback we made some concessions around the size,” said French. “It’s below what we would call maximum efficiency, but B.C. Housing and the minister made a commitment that we would keep it at the 33-unit size.” Changes to the building stemmed from privacy concerns by neighbours as well as Pacifica Housing, which wanted to maximize privacy for its tenants as well. As a result, where the building is closest to the northern boundary, the height of the building has been reduced by a full storey, and a treed buffer will divide properties to the north. The building has also been set as far back as possible to the south end of the property, which has allowed for an outdoor space at the southwest corner of the property, and windows on the north side of the building are oriented to face east and west, rather than directly north to improve privacy. The supportive housing project is one of four that will attempt to break the cycle of homelessness in Nanaimo. A 36-unit facility on Wesley Street opened earlier this month, an 18-unit opened in June 2011, and another 35-unit facility is planned at 1597 Boundary Cres. It is estimated there are more than 700 people in Nanaimo without a permanent address. reporter2@nanaimobulletin.com

McGirr Elementary student Bruno Sanderson gets his forehead signed by Scott Dickens, following a special assembly where Dickens shared his Olympic journey. NIOMI PEARSON THE NEWS BULLETIN

Olympic swimmer makes waves I SCOTT DICKENS visits McGirr Elementary School with inspiring message. BY NIOMI PEARSON THE NEWS BULLETIN

The path won’t be easy, but if you dream big, never give up, and do what you want to do in life, you can achieve anything. This was the message Canadian Olympic swimmer Scott Dickens gave to students at McGirr Elementary Friday afternoon during an impromptu assembly. “There’s a difference between quantity and quality, and you can try super hard in life and do everything to the extreme, but unless you’re doing it the right way, then you won’t quite get there,” he said. “It’s not going to be easy, but life isn’t supposed to be easy.” Dickens, of Burlington, Ont., broke his Canadian record in the men’s 100metre breaststroke during the 2012 Olympic Games in London, and finished eighth in the semifinal heat (16th overall). Prior to that, he won his first national title at the 2004 Canadian Olympic trials, and went on to compete in the 2004 Olympics, where he finished 19th. Dickens told the students the story of his entire career, from his experiences at the 2004 Games, to the crushing defeat of not making the 2008 Olympic

trials, despite coming into it ranked first in the country in his category. “I didn’t know that my path to success was going to be as up and down as it was,” he said. He said his doubts played a big role in his performance during the 2008 Olympic trials. “I started worrying about all my competitors and worrying about what they were doing,” he said. “I couldn’t wait for it to be over because I was scared I wasn’t going to make the team … That fear held me back.” Following the 2008 trials, Dickens was scheduled to make an appearance at an Ontario elementary school. He admits it took him a few days to decide whether or not to go. But it was their enthusiasm and ‘never give up’ attitude that inspired him to just keep swimming. The 6’5” swimmer has been swimming since he was six years old, and has tried out for the Olympics a total of four times. In his first time, at the age of 15, he recalled coming in dead last. He first got into swimming because it was fun and encouraged the students to hold onto their strongest passions, even as they age. “I have just as much fun today as I did when I was six years old,” he said. “I had to realize that holding on to that passion is what led me to the 2012 Olympics.” He said the best lessons he’s learned in life have not been from his successes, but his mistakes. “I don’t look back on all the medals

I’ve won and the places I’ve been, I look back at the lessons I’ve learned, and those life lessons are going to take me to where I want to be in life.” During a question period after Dickens’ speech, students asked dozens of questions, which covered everything from, ‘if you didn’t go into swimming, what sport would you choose’, ‘how high can you jump’, to ‘how many hours of training do you do’ and ‘how do you keep your skin from wrinkling in the water.’ The students were most surprised to hear that Dickens’s swimming regimen included 26 to 30 hours of swimming a week, during which time he would consume about 8,000 calories of healthy foods a day. When asked if he would compete in another Olympics, Dickens said he wasn’t sure at this time, as it is a fouryear commitment. After the session, students gathered around to get autographs and high fives from the Olympian. “He’s really inspired me,” said Kassandra Richardson, a Grade 6 student, who dreams of a career in singing and dancing. “He’s showed us that even if things are going wrong and down, there’s always a chance of hope.” Zach Taylor, Grade 6, said the lesson he took away from the speech was quality over quantity. “There were a lot of really good messages like that and it gives us hope,” he said. “You can try really hard, and never give up.” reporter3@nanaimobulletin.com

BY TOM FLETCHER The B.C. branch of the Canadian Bar Association released a report Tuesday calling for more judges, more court services staff, more legal aid money and more mental health services. Kerry Simmons, president of the Canadian Bar Association B.C. branch, released the report at a news conference in Victoria last week. Simmons said the association wants to put justice issues on the agenda for the May provincial election, and it has been received with interest by the B.C. Liberal Party and NDP. The bar association, representing 6,900 B.C. judges, lawyers and law students, is seeking a long wish list of reforms, including long-standing demands for legal aid funding for family court disputes and a return to the 2005 level of staffing for provincial court judges. The B.C. government announced the hiring of nine new judges a year ago, and Attorney General Shirley Bond also launched a review of the court system. Geoffrey Cowper, former chairman of B.C.’s Legal Services Society, was assigned to examine why the court system was getting slower despite 13,000 fewer new provincial criminal cases than it handled in 2002. Cowper concluded the problem is partly because there are incentives for defence lawyers to delay cases, and a “culture of delay” that resists change. “During the review there was a general sense that judges and lawyers have their own, insulated sense of what constitutes timeliness and responsiveness,” Cowper wrote. He also found there is an average of seven appearances by the accused in a criminal case before it goes to trial. Asked about those problems, Simmons said there are pilot projects underway to expand the use of video conferencing in courts. Judges from out of town can preside over simpler procedures, such as bail or remand hearings.

Fixed animals help control pet population

NANAIMO SPCA has program to help low-income families spay or neuter cats.

BY NIOMI PEARSON THE NEWS BULLETIN

In just five years, an un-spayed free roaming cat, her mate, and all of their offspring can produce up to 11,800 cats. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a staggering issue that the B.C. SPCA contends with every year, and in February, puts out the call for residents to help during spay and neuter awareness month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The terrible reality is that there are still many more animals born in our province every year than there are homes for,â&#x20AC;? said Lorie Chortyk, B.C. SPCA community relations manager, in a news release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The SPCA and other rescue groups find homes for thousands of these abandoned or surrendered animals every year, but we know that there are so many more who suffer and die after being abandoned by their guardians. This is a completely preventable problem.â&#x20AC;? Unlike many other municipalities,

Nanaimo is fortunate to have its own lowincome spay and neuter assistant fund for cats. The Spay/Neuter Initiative Prog ram (SNIP), is entirely paid for by a local resident (Marjorieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fund), as well as $15,000 every two years by the City of Nanaimo, and since it began, about 5,200 local pets have gone under the knife. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not for our operations, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not for the SPCA, that is literally money for the community and we administrate the program,â&#x20AC;? said Leon Davis, branch manager of the Nanaimo location. He said the money is generally used up quite quickly. Program users are asked to chip in about $50 toward the cost of the operation, which costs approximately $110 per cat, but in situations of extreme financial hardship, the entire amount can be waived. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is quite a large amount for us to pay, but we will try to work

with people as best we can,â&#x20AC;? Davis said. Nanaimoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s SPCA branch was shut down for about six weeks in August, after a litter of kittens abandoned at the shelter presented with ringworm. The ordeal cost the branch approximately $20,000 in lost adoption revenues and medical costs, but thanks to the support of the community, the animals and the books have recovered well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am cautiously opti-

mistic that we will exit 2012, hopefully, with a balanced budget,â&#x20AC;? Davis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was desperate, but people were very generous over Christmas and we really pulled out all the stops and held six fundraisers in a week at one point to make up the difference, and that helped.â&#x20AC;? He added that the last animal involved in the outbreak was adopted two weeks ago. Like other communities, the free roam-

but also take a stand against it as well,” said Jennifer Kusz, a member of the planning committee. The event stems from the statistic that one in three women in the world will be beaten or raped during her lifetime. Calculated at the rate of seven billion people worldwide, that adds up to more than one billion women and girls, a news release states. On Thursday (Feb. 14) Nanaimo will be one of hundreds of communities across the world participating in One Billion Rising. Participants of both genders are encouraged to learn the dance moves to ‘Break the Chain’, the official song for the movement, and then come out on the day of to participate in

the group dance. The Haven Society is hoping to draw a crowd of at least 100. Kusz, who works with Haven’s community-based victim services, said the program supports approximately 200 women who are accessing the justice system or are in need of safety planning each month. “It’s been steadily increasing over the last couple of years,” she said. One Billion Rising in Nanaimo takes place Feb. 14 from noon to 1 p.m. at Diana Krall Plaza. For more information on the event, please visit www. havensociety.com.

Port authority aims to attract Boat show sunk this year more cruise ships to Nanaimo BY JENN McGARRIGLE THE NEWS BULLETIN

GOAL TO have up to 25 visiting vessels by the year 2015. BY JENN McGARRIGLE THE NEWS BULLETIN

Seven large cruise ships and two small ones will call in Nanaimo this year. That’s an increase from last year’s numbers – five large ships and two small – but still a ways from the Nanaimo Port Authority’s goal of 20-25 ship visits by 2015. Large ships carry 2,000-2,500 people and small ones carry about 400. “We’ve got a little extra time,” said Bernie Dumas, port authority president. “I’m optimistic the numbers will be in the double digits by 2014.” Nine larg e ships were expected to dock in the Harbour City this year, but as companies finalized their seasons, two visits were cancelled. Last year, about 9,200 people stepped off the boat in Nanaimo and the port authority hopes to get about 17,000 or 18,000 people to come ashore to enjoy amenities the city has to offer this year. “One of the most important parts is we need the community’s involvement,” said Dumas. “You need attractions and you need activities to really cater to the ship.” Victoria has more than 200 cruise ship visits scheduled this year. He said the port authority is working on a cruise development program with the help of a consultant with experience in the cruise industry, who was up

in Nanaimo this week to deliver a workshop to local businesses and tourism representatives on how to better serve the cruise ship industry. Many cruise ship visitors end up on buses heading out of town to do wine tours in the Cowichan Valley or to Port Alberni to see Cathedral Grove or ride the steam train, said Dumas, and while the port authority arranges for buses to take passengers to downtown Nanaimo, once there, people need things to do and open businesses to visit. If the city can attract summertime ships – right now ships are coming in the spring and fall – then the port authority can easily meet its goal of 20-25 ships, said Dumas. “Passengers are not necessarily looking for Disney World,” he said, adding the city’s beautiful natural surroundings, such as the waterfront and Mount Benson, afford plenty of activities for visitors, although tour operators have some stringent

guidelines to meet before cruise carriers will allow a business to market their activity to passengers. Dumas said data from the industry suggests cruise ship passengers spend between $70 and $100 on average during stops in cities and with 2,000 or more passengers aboard, that adds up quickly. Sasha Angus, Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation CEO, said the organization’s Tourism Leadership Committee is finalizing a three-year strategic plan that will look at how to market Nanaimo to attract more visitors and how to support development of new tourism experiences, as well as better highlight the experiences already here. He said the economic impact of cruise ships can go beyond the day-long visit – the corporation has heard from people who visited Nanaimo while on a ship and returned later for a longer visit.

The Nanaimo Port Authority has sunk its annual Floating Boat and Marine Trade Show this year. The show, which has run for the past eight years at the Nanaimo Boat Basin, will not go forward this year for a number of reasons, said Bernie Dumas, port authority president. He said the event wasn’t making money, as entry fees were nominal and the port authority had to hire additional staff, the docks are aging and in need of repair or replacement – one dock that reached the end of its life span has already been closed – and the port authority is in the midst of finalizing a 30-year lease agreement with Pacific Northwest Marina Group to redevelop the harbour. The lease agreement is expected to move ahead sometime late February, after the completion of an environmental review. “We’re in a transitional state with the marina, we’re trying to complete the lease,” said Dumas. All these factors led to the decision to cancel the show for one year, but the port authority is discussing its future with the new operators-to-be and the orga-

I think the operators were happy to come here and they’re a little bit disappointed.” The show attracted 32 major yacht brokers, manufacturers and marine suppliers last year, selling out exhibitor space. Kye Francoeur, general manager of Westwood Power and Marine, said when his business has been able to participate, the downtown boat show was a great experience and generated some modest sales for the company. He hopes the event will return, especially if the economic slowdown reverses.

EDITORIAL

Labour peace still not settled After the tumult of the past school year, everyone involved might feel cautiously optimistic about a new framework to negotiate a contract for teachers. Calling it “a significant step in the right direction” and “a productive move,” B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Susan Lambert sounded uncharacteristically buoyant. The deal is designed to help the BCTF and B.C. Public School Employers’ Association bargain a deal. It sounds promising, but this is a toxic relationship and B.C. is close to a provincial election. Premier Christy Clark and Education Minister Don McRae nipped in just before the framework was approved with a mammoth set of proposals. Using phrases such as “legacy of failed bargaining,” the document indicates the government would like to erase a system Clark ushered in as education minister. She and McRae would remove a stipulation that teaching is an essential service and reintroduce a measure of local bargaining, although that showed up in the new framework deal. The deal would also index public school teacher salaries to increases in the B.C. public sector and would be a 10-year agreement. The Liberals might not be the governing party after May’s election, so you can’t blame the BCTF for not rushing into a 10-year deal. Is the government playing politics with its timing? Absolutely. So is Lambert when she rejects out of hand some intriguing proposals that might lead to lasting labour peace. The ultra-political BCTF wouldn’t want to give the Liberals any credit. The thought-provoking proposals might be utterly forgotten by the start of the school year. The best framework in the world won’t provide labour peace, though, if mistrust continues and either side insists on we-win-you-lose bargaining.

Which means you first must pass a firearms safety course and test before applying for the licence and then wait about a month for it to be issued, because in Canada, police do some basic background checks on licence applicants. After studying the course material and regulations online, I discovered that instead of being restrictive, the regulations promote safety and – most importantly in my mind – represent a national cultural shift toward responsible firearm ownership. The U.S. currently has no national policy like this – something President Barack Obama is calling for and the country is struggling with. New York and other states have brought in strict firearms laws, but are battling the importation of firearms from other states that don’t follow similar sets of rules. Even if the U.S. develops uniform national firearms legislation, it will still take years to make the cultural shift that will be needed to bring some sanity to the attitude toward firearms use – something Canada has a good head start with. So, if I were asked which country I feel safer owning and being around other legal firearms owners in, I’d have to go with the one that sells Kinder Surprise. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

‘Idle’ provides Canadians Chambers join forces a vision of a better world to improve Canada’s

To the Editor, Re: Idle No More stokes the f , Opinion, Feb. 2. fire Idle No More’s purpose is to keep everyone’s attention on issues that have been ignored for too long. It is the grassroots speaking to First Nations leaders, all levels of Canadian government and corporations and is not to be dismissed as ineffective. At last, they create the venue for indigenous people to have a voice. Moreover, it is uniting people, both within their own communities, their various cultures and with the broader segment of society. Idle No More provides a vision of what we all want in a better world – care for our environment and each other. I encourage open-minded people to stand in at least one event and experience the intent and atmosphere. To support Idle No More is to have a voice in what is happening in our country.

City employees are the lucky ones To the Editor, I received the latest Lotto for Life brochure in the mail recently, and couldn’t help but think what a misnomer it was. The real Lotto for Life winners are the people lucky enough to acquire a position with the City of Nanaimo. The Lotto for Life lottery is a one-time prize of $100,000. Now, if you’re fortunate enough to receive a position with the city, a one-time $100,000 payment is truly chump change. With all manner of employees making nice profits of $70,000, $80,000, $90,000 and far in excess of $100,000 a year in wages alone, these are the real lotto winners.

UN report confirms toll on Palestinians To the Editor, Recently, the independent report by the United Nation’s international fact finding mission to investigate the implications of the Israeli settlements on the human rights of Palestinians was tabled. It found that “the existence of the settlements has had a heavy toll on the rights of Palestinians. Their rights to freedom of self determination, non-discrimination, freedom of movement, equality, due process, fair trial, not to be arbitrarily detained, liberty and security of person, freedom of expression, freedom to access places of worship, education, water, housing, adequate standard of living, property, access to natural resources and effective remedy are being violated consistently and on a daily basis” by Israel which, in the process, violated its signed obligations to adhere to international law. For those who would dismiss these allegations, try reading Our Harsh Logic – a book available in the local library by the NGO Breaking the Silence – consisting entirely of verbatim reports by Israeli

army veterans describing their daily experiences in the occupied territories and confirming the evidence provided to the fact-finding mission. The evidence that the approximately 250 settlements and 520,000 Israeli settlers, encouraged and supported by the Israeli government since 1967, have led to “a situation of prevailing impunity,” violence, stark legal inequality, vandalism, racism and injustice is undeniable. The mission calls for “all member states to comply with their obligations under international law and assume their responsibilities in their relationship to a state breaching peremptory norms of international law.” It is shameful Canada’s government, in our name, continues to support this illegal regime by remaining willfully blind to its crimes. Embarrassingly, will we be the last country with the courage to look at the evidence and abide by our international humanitarian obligations instead of encouraging, through willful ignorance, the prolonged Middle East instability that threatens us all?

Outcry over basin needs to be heard To the Editor, Re: Marina will lose its diversity, Letters, Jan. 7. Dorothy Houghton makes some thoughtful points regarding the manner in which the proposed 30-year deal with a private company for the development of our waterfront area has been conducted, and why it seems that the Nanaimo Port Authority has not adequately maintained the docks under its jurisdiction. We all need to stand up and be counted in this matter before it’s too late. L. O’Brien Nanaimo

competitive prowess BY JOHN WINTER

A great deal is said and written these days about the global economy and Canada’s role in it. Concerns about Canada’s competitiveness have been expressed in many quarters, and to address that issue requires an ambitious, aggressive and innovative private sector. Strategic thinking and smart public policies are also needed to address long-standing structural impediments that hinder businesses at a time when they need much greater flexibility to compete. Led by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, chambers from coast to coast have a role to play in identifying and restoring Canada’s competitiveness. Consequently, and as part of the Chamber of Commerce network, the B.C. chamber announced a major advocacy initiative focused on harnessing the power of business and public policy to address the key barriers to Canada’s competitiveness and our national prosperity. Powerful forces are transforming the global economic landscape and challenging Canada’s prospects in the world. The weight of global economic activity has dramatically shifted from developed to developing countries. Emerging economies such as China and India are sparking a wave of innovation with their critical mass of researchers, scientists and engineers. These countries recognize research and innovation are the keys to success in the increasingly competitive global economy. Canada risks being swept aside, so strategic thinking and smart public policies are needed to address long-standing structural impediments that hinder businesses at a time when they need the utmost in flexibility to compete. Over the past year, the chamber network, comprised of local chambers of commerce, boards of

trade, large corporations and small businesses right across Canada, has worked to identify the barriers hindering our ability to compete. Those consultations have identified 10 critical policy and regulatory barriers which will be the focus of advocacy and outreach activities. Effectively addressing these issues will sharpen our competitive edge and allow us to prosper in the global economy. The network includes more than 130 chambers and boards of trade here in B.C., and is uniquely positioned to lead this effort. We have long served as a key resource to solving the issues – by connecting businesses, workers, educators and governments. That is an approach we continue to pursue in a collaborative effort to establish practical solutions toward a common goal: strengthening Canada’s competitiveness in a knowledgebased global economy so that our future prosperity and standard of living can be assured. As the voice of business in our community, it is important to continue the dialogue at all levels to reverse the trend. We are calling on governments, on labour organizations, on educators and others to tackle and overcome these barriers as tolerating them is simply not an option. Effectively addressing these 10 barriers will sharpen Canada’s competitive edge and allow us to prosper in the global economy. The need for action is urgent. The standard of living of every Canadian depends on how well we respond to the challenge. We must identify and implement real, tangible solutions for breaking down the barriers to our competitiveness and for creating more opportunities and greater prosperity for Canadian businesses and families. ◆ John R. Winter is president and CEO of the B.C. Chamber of Commerce.

Pilot’s adventures in First World War detailed in book BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN

anaimo’s Raymond Collishaw was one of Canada’s top flying aces of the First World War. He was credited with 60 kills, although some accounts say he had more. “There were very few pilots who got over 20 kills and many didn’t have any,” said Roger Gunn, author of Raymond Collishaw and the Black Flight.

Gunn recently finished his book on Collishaw to bring more attention to the life of one of Canada’s wartime heroes. Canada is a country that is largely unaware of its wartime heroes, said Gunn. “I don’t think many Canadians know about Raymond Collishaw,” he said. “Canadians don’t have a lot of information on pilots in World War One.” With the approach of the 100th anniversary of the First World War Gunn said he hopes more attention is turned to the era and the

Nanaimo’s Raymond Collishaw is one of Canada’s top flying aces. His experiences in the First World War are detailed in Roger Gunn’s new book Raymond Collishaw and the Black Flight.

soldiers who fought in the war. “I just love history and research history and love helping Canadians understand their heroes,” said

Gunn. “It’s written in such a fashion that it should be interesting to any Canadian interested in history.” The author spent more than six years researching

material for his book on the Nanaimo native. Gunn said he was attracted to telling Collishaw’s story because of his abilities as a fighter pilot and also because of

his character. Collishaw was an exceptional leader who cared about the welfare of people who served with him. He went out of his way to

ensure his fellow airmen were protected. “He had an unbeatable spirit and was able to motivate his fellow pilots,” said Gunn, adding that his outlook even in times of hardship was upbeat. “He was always looking after his fellow pilots. He protected them and would be the first one to dive on an enemy pilot.” Collishaw joined the Royal Navy and at the outbreak of the First World War was transferred to the Royal Naval Air Force. In April 1917 he was transferred to the No. 10 Naval Squadron, which led to him leading the Black Flight, a group of Sopwith triplanes painted black, which faced some of the best German aces, including von Richthofen. Gunn said he’s always loved Canadian war history, especially aviation history and finds it interesting that only seven years after the birth of airplanes Collishaw was flying biplanes and triplanes in the war. The book takes the reader to the Western Front during the First World War and details the risks of combat and close calls Collishaw encountered. It shines a light on Collishaw’s courage and the challenges he faced. Raymond Collishaw and the Black Flight is $26.99 and available at most major book stores and www.amazon.ca. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Draft pick can’t wait to make jump Inbrief

sports

Recent scores still to come

Transition player Paul Brebber will add depth to club

Sports scores from this past weekend weren’t available at press time because of early deadlines due to the Family Day long weekend. Please visit www. nanaimobulletin.com/ sports or pick up Thursday’s issue of the News Bulletin.

BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

anaimo Timbermen draft pick Paul Brebber made it this far playing a tough, hardnosed game. Now he’ll try to bring it to the highest level of summer lacrosse. Nanaimo’s Brebber was the first choice of the senior A Coastal Windows Timbermen in last week’s Western Lacrosse Association draft. The Timbermen feel he can step right in and contribute, and that’s what he’ll try to do. “It’s definitely a lot faster, bigger guys up there. I’m not going to be throwing people around as I could in junior,” said the 6-foot-1, 195 pounder. “They’re going to have better sticks when I’m playing on the defensive end there so it’s definitely going to test my skills.” Going into the draft the Timbermen felt they needed to be stronger with their transition corps and Brebber fits the bill, adept at playing both ends of the floor. He was a goal-a-game player in his last two seasons

Lacrosse player Paul Brebber goes for a Superman shot on goal during a junior A game at Frank Crane Arena last season. Brebber was the top choice of the senior A Nanaimo Timbermen at last week’s Western Lacrosse Association draft.

of junior, but probably won’t be a go-to guy on offence with the T-men. “The offence is pretty set on the right side with [Scott] Ranger and [Cory] Conway,” said Brebber. “It would be good to get up there once in awhile in transition.” He looks forward to having those sort of stars as mentors, and he also likes the idea of being reunited with some former teammates. Brebber played most of

his junior in Nanaimo, but got traded midway through last season to the Victoria Shamrocks. At the time of the trade he mentioned that he envisioned himself being back in T-men colours one day. Watching the draft from Kentucky, where he plays field lacrosse at Bellarmine University, Brebber was happy to see the Timbermen choose a handful of other Nanaimo guys.

“It will be good to see how we all do in training camp and see where we all end up on the depth chart,” he said. The Timbermen’s most highly touted rookie will have a chance to be high on that list when the season begins in May. “As a rookie you don’t expect too much, but I hope to make an impact wherever I can,” he said. “Wherever they put me I’ll give it 100 per cent.”

Quickfacts NANAIMO TIMBERMEN begin the Western Lacrosse Association season May 17 when they visit the Burnaby Lakers. SEASON TICKETS cost $75 for adults, $60 for seniors and students and $20 for children. Visit www.tmen.ca for more information.
