City reviews stability of former mines I hIgh-LeveL study to understand extent of shafts could cost as much as $50,000. By TamaRa Cunningham ThE NEwS BULLETiN

Recycling exchange seeks financial support By KaRl yu ThE NEwS BULLETiN
Lacking the finances to build a new facility, the Nanaimo Recycling Exchange is asking government for help. The not-for-profit recycling depot will have to relocate from its current Kenworth Road location in the spring, as the landowner is looking to develop the site, and is seeking funding and partnership with the Regional District of Nanaimo and the City of Nanaimo. A new facility is planned for an adjacent property and a develop-
ment permit is close to being secured, but the group doesn’t have the means to begin construction on its own. “The Nanaimo Recycling Exchange cannot manage the cost of construction of the new facility,” executive director Jan Hastings told the News Bulletin. “Over the past year, we have worked with Checkwich Poiron Architects to complete the building and site plan and we are ready to begin construction.” Hastings said the request for assistance is based on the costs of construction and during a presentation to the regional district board on Jan.
28, she said the construction budget is estimated at $1.7 million. The new facility would have a large building with space for recycling activity, a re-use material store, and education and administration services. As well, there would be a larger area for yard waste and the facility would be able to handle more vehicles with reduced wait times, according to Hastings. “There will be no more mixing of pedestrian and vehicle traffic with large commercial trucks and equipment,” she said. u See ‘RECYCLING’ /4
For 100 years, miners chased coal-rich seams beneath the Harbour City in search of black gold, carving a virtual honeycomb of underground tunnels. Now, decades after the hunt was abandoned, the City of Nanaimo is proposing its first proactive and “high-level” investigation into the stability of the underground network. The new study – estimated at $50,000 – comes on the heels of the discovery of a twostorey-deep mine collapse and developing sinkhole beneath a south Nanaimo road. It was the first time city officials had encountered a mine that presented an immediate and “serious” safety issue, prompting plans to search for other dangerous and weakened tunnels, said Poul Rosen, the city’s manager of engineering projects. The city is obligated to ensure roads are safe and “can’t ... knowingly allow these sinkholes to show up,” he said, adding the desktop study is potentially the initial step in a multiphased project to identify and remediate highrisk mines. A panel of experts would have to be hired to do the initial investigation, which is reportedly beyond the expertise of city staff members. “We need to take a step back and see which mines are the biggest concern ... and prioritize which ones we should focus our attention on first,” Rosen said, adding it will be a very highlevel and unique undertaking. “Right now we don’t know that much about the mines.” u See ‘HONEYCOMB’ /6

Inbrief Elementary school raises money for burn fund I
city scene
Hotel manager stabbed Police are searching for the assailant in a stabbing that took place at a Nanaimo motel on the weekend. The incident happened at a motel on Terminal Avenue at about 1:30 a.m. Sunday, said Staff Sgt. Phil lue of the Nanaimo RCMP, who had otherwise few details available about the incident. “The victim was a manager/caretaker at the motel,” lue said. “The culprit fled the scene and attempts to apprehend him have been negative so far.” The victim was taken to Nanaimo Regional General hospital where he was treated for stab wounds to his head and chest and released later in the day. The suspect is thought to be an aboriginal man in his early 20s. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345 or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www. nanaimocrimestoppers. com.
EducATioN FocuS of week dedicated to preventing accidents. By Chris Bush The NeWS BulleTiN
A school bottle drive will raise cash for the B.C. Professional Firefighters Burn Fund while local firefighters visit schools to teach children how avoid burn injuries during Burn Awareness Week (Feb. 2 - 8). Bayview Elementary School held a special assembly Tuesday when Nanaimo Fire Rescue firefighters Greg Finstad, local B.C. burn fund representative, and Johan Lindkvist got children up to speed on how to avoid being burned. Children also heard from Wendy Gadd, the mother of one of their fellow students Taylor Fair, 5, who at the age of 14 months, was burned on more than 20 per cent of his body when he was splashed with hot cooking oil from an electric frying pan that fell on him. Taylor has fully recovered from his burns and he was fortunate to have only needed one skin graft surgery, Gadd said. The B.C. Burn Fund helped out with Taylor’s recovery by paying for one set of two compression garments, valued at about $500 each, which help stretch grafted skin to minimize scaring. “We were very lucky that they helped out with that to ease some of the financial burden,”

Taylor Fair, 5, left, who was burned over 20 per cent of his body when he was a baby, tries on helmets and firefighter turnout gear with his big brother Jacob, second from right, when firefighters Gregory Finstad, second left, and Johan Lundkvist visited Bayview Elementary school last week promoting burn and fire safety. The visit was part of Nanaimo Professional Firefighters Association’s activities for Burn Awareness Week, which runs until Saturday (Feb. 8).
Gadd said. Taylor is one of about 90 children under the age of five who are hospitalized with burns in B.C. each year. About 87 per cent of those injuries happen at home, mostly in the kitchen. A child’s skin is thinner than an adult’s, which means water at 60 Celsius – the temperature most home hot-water tanks are set at – in contact with a child’s
skin for one second will cause a burn. Contact for several seconds will inflict third-degree burns. Finstad explained more fire facts to the students, some of whom will take part in a bottle drive with school staff, Taylor and his mother at Bayview Elementary School Sunday (Feb. 9) when they hope to bring in the final dollars needed to hit their
goal of raising $3,000 to support the burn fund. “In Nanaimo over the last few years we’ve raised nearly $100,000 for the B.C. burn fund,” Finstad said.

Lantzville firefighters help deliver baby in back of vehicle on highway
Police catch loose convict

Nanaimo Mounties arrested Joel Jason Smith, 35, who failed to appear at Nanaimo provincial court for a sentencing hearing Wednesday. A warrant was issued for his arrest. Smith was convicted of aggravated assault from an incident in 2010 when he attacked another man with a knife and inflicted lifethreatening injuries on the victim.
PArAmEdic TEAm also assisted in birth of infant in ambulance. By Chris Bush The NeWS BulleTiN
Volunteer firefighters and paramedics put their skills to practice on the road Friday when they discovered a baby wasn’t going to wait to get to hospital to be born. The roadside delivery happened shortly after 2:30 p.m. when Lantzville volunteer fire-
fighters raced to a vehicle pulled over off the southbound lanes of the Island Highway near the Lantzville Road intersection where a woman was about to give birth. Tom Whipps, Lantzville Volunteer Fire Department chief, said the woman was transferred to an ambulance at the scene and the father was told to go ahead and meet them at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. “They no sooner said that and off he goes, than the baby changed its mind and it’s not waiting, so the little one was

Recycling facility asks for support u From /1 Nanaimo Mayor John Ruttan, who sits on the regional district board, said the recycling exchange provides an essential service but questioned its sustainability. “When you put a lot of money into a building and a lot of money into some of the other structures that you need, it doesn’t necessarily create funding for you,” Ruttan said at the board meeting. “It might provide an opportunity for more funding ... if several million dollars goes into this, is there a method to repay it? Can you service the debt?” Hastings said it would be difficult and that was why assistance is being sought. The last thing the recycling exchange wanted was “unmanageable debt” and it was working with a bank to secure a loan. Having a new facility of its own would free up more money. “We pay a lot of money in our lease right now; well, we won’t be doing that when we move to the new property, so there are factors that do increase our ability for repayment and to manage the operations,” she said. The regional district board approved a motion at the meeting that will see staff prepare a report on possible funding mechanisms. The recycling exchange was established in 1992 and Hastings said it does not compete with the private sector, but rather complements it. On top of the usual recyclable items, such as paper, it also takes gasoline, glass, batteries, light bulbs, non-container plastics, styrofoam and books. Hastings and the Nanaimo Recycling Exchange are also planning to approach the city, although a date has not yet been set. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Housing fund helps cover project costs
I
SITE SlopE and setback leads to further expense.
Nanaimo’s latest housing project for the homeless will carry the largest offsite-servicing bill for the city, according to social planner John Horn. Nanaimo city officials recently agreed to spend $320,000 from the Housing Legacy Reserve Fund to pay for off-site works and services tied in with the new supportive housing project
on Boundary Crescent. Paying for off-site services at supportive housing initiatives is nothing new for the City of Nanaimo, which inked a deal with the province in 2006 that mandates it to get sites developmentready. But the latest tally of off-site works and services will be the most expensive thanks to the slope of the site and its setback from the road, says Horn, who pegs the cost at just over $300,000. “Dufferin will be more expensive than Wesley or 10th street or Uplands or
Bowen Road – any of the sites we have done this for. It’s a tricky property,” Horn said, adding it requires more work than usual. The Boundary Crescent project – also referred to as the Dufferin supportive housing complex – is waiting on building permit approval. It will provide 35 housing units and be the fourth project to break ground since the city signed a memorandum of agreement with the B.C. government in 2006 to develop 160 units of housing for the homeless.
Are you considering hearing aids and beginning to do some research? Are you wondering about things like: • What are the best brands? • What features are important? (i.e. low battery signals, noise reduction, directional microphones, Bluetooth, etc.) • What are the differences between the various styles? • How long do they last? • How do the warranties work? • Why are hearing aids so expensive? • How to choose a hearing clinic? • Why are there so many hearing clinics around these days? There is no escaping the fact that for anything that you want to do in life, there are choices to make. Everything from buying a house to ordering coffee requires mental energy to sort through the options. Hearing aids are no different. You may or may not realize that there is a dizzying amount of choice here too; styles, brands, features, where to buy, prices, just to name a few. When I’m trying to make purchase decisions, I want to sort through the options and educate myself before speaking with a salesperson. However, there usually comes a point when I get confused by all the information available. It’s at these times that I wish that I could get straight information from a professional in the industry. But, who can I trust? Aren’t salespeople biased and only going to tell me what’s good for them? That is why I’m offering a hearing aid information session. I want to give people considering hearing aids some inside information without any “sales pressure”. Now, you may be thinking, “This information session is just a sales pitch.” Let me just say this, of course I’m interested in finding out if I can help you hear better. BUT, I also realize that different service providers are good for different people. I’ll tell you why at the information session.

So, here is what you will learn: • Simple overview of how hearing works • What to expect with a full hearing exam • How to choose a hearing clinic that’s right for you • All about hearing aids: Styles brands features & benefits prices (and why they are so expensive) • How to shop for the best deal • Common problems & solutions • How to be successful • Question & answer time There will be light refreshments and you will receive a handout of the main points made during the session. Because I want each participant to feel comfortable to ask questions and have the time to do so, I will be limiting the attendees to 10 participants (and the fact that my office can only handle a limited number too).

u From /1 “We have the maps and know where they are, but we really don’t know what their condition is.” The city’s coal mining history started in the 1800s and by the time it ended, a maze of tunnels stretched from east Wellington to Protection Island and Cassidy. A sevenmetre-long coal mine map at the Nanaimo Museum showcases the vast network and while it comes to no surprise to museum volunteer Norm Swanson that some structures are collapsing, he questions how the city will tackle its search for weakened tunnels. “You would have to look at everything because the whole city is just a honeycomb ... you can’t

pinpoint just one area as being more vulnerable than the other,” he said. City officials have made no qualms about the challenge ahead, but say it’s necessary after the discovery of the coal hole on Pine Street. If the city can find vulnerable mine
shafts and tunnels before they collapse, it can prevent public safety issues and budget for remediation, said Mayor John Ruttan. The latest costs to repair a coal hole tallied close to $240,000. “I think everyone understands there a re m i n e s h a f t s
underneath Nanaimo, but no one felt it would represent a significant risk until [one] collapsed,” Ruttan said. “We have to make sure we do our due diligence.” The next step – determining when the mines could collapse – will be the greatest challenge, according to Rosen. While there are structures that have likely already collapsed and present no concern at all, others have remained in the same condition as the day they were abandoned, he said. “What condition are they in now in 2014?” he asked. “That’s where things get complicated. The subsidence risk potential over any given mine, that’s fairly straightforward to get a handle on. What you can’t say is when it will happen.” news@nanaimobulletin.com

Teachers’ union opposes tests By Karl yu The News BulleTiN
The union representing Nanaimo teachers is once again voicing its opposition to Foundation Skills Assessment testing. The Nanaimo District Teachers’ Association and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation have long opposed the provincially required standardized tests because of the pressure for high scores, results used to rank schools, and the amount of time spent on the tests, going so far as to take out advertisements suggesting parents request their children be exempted from testing. Teachers’ association president Mike Ball said while fewer students tested does decrease statistical accuracy of results, the union’s main concerns revolve around results used for right-wing think tank Fraser Institute’s annual school rankings. “The way the Fraser Institute actually calculates the data is completely and utterly statistically inappropriate,” said Ball. “They double count zeroes, they count a zero as a score and they count it again if a person didn’t write. There’s so much wrong with the way they handle it that the rankings absolutely mean nothing.” Nanaimo school district spokeswoman Donna Reimer said while there are usually some parents requesting exemption every year, the Ministry of Education dictates withdrawal can only occur due to unforeseen and extremely disruptive circumstances that are beyond the student’s control. Students who are developmentally or physically disabled or don’t have a good enough grasp of English can be excused as well. “We explain the ministry requirements to the parent and go over the reasons for exclusion permitted by the ministry,” Reimer said. “If the reason the parent is making the request is in line with the ministry guidelines, the request is granted.” She said it would be difficult to link absences to skills assessment avoidance as schools test on different days and there are absences due to the illnesses at this time of year. Since the skills assessment is required by the ministry, the school board stance reflects that of the province. The board is also against the Fraser Institute rankings, according to Reimer. “The board has just passed a motion that asks that the results not be provided to the Fraser Institute and that is [its] big concern, is the way that the results are used,” Reimer said. The annual tests are being administered to Grade 4 and 7 students across the province until Feb. 21, examining reading comprehension, writing and numeracy. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

paNEL DISCuSSED reconciliation with journalists. By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN
Can the news media play a positive role in the reconciliation process between Canada’s aboriginal and non-aboriginal peoples? A discussion, hosted by Vancouver Island University at Vancouver Island Conference Centre’s Shaw Auditorium to explore the idea packed the house Wednesday evening. More than 400 people turned out to hear what Wab Kinew, musician, broadcaster and educator, Judith Lavoie, awardwinning freelance journalist, formerly with the Victoria Times Colonist, and Duncan McCue, reporter with CBC and a professor at the University of B.C., had to say on the subject. The panel was moderated by Shawn A-in-chut Atleo, Assembly of First Nations national chief and VIU chancellor. The event, titled Seeing Each Other, was part of the Ka Na Ta Dialogues series, launched by the Assembly of First Nations in October 2011. McCue said mainstream media in all forms fails to take the extra time required to fully explore First Nations issues to give a comprehensive and accurate portrayal of aboriginal people, the challenges they face and their efforts and successes in emerging as an economic and cultural power in Canada. One way to achieve that, McCue said, is to have more aboriginal reporters covering those stories. He cited the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network as a positive example of the growth of independent indigenous media in Canada. “There’s no question that there are more aboriginal reporters in newsrooms

right across this country and that’s making a difference,” McCue said. “More aboriginal reporters means a more balanced portrait of aboriginal people in this country. It means more story ideas and more nuanced stories.” Providing in-depth coverage means taking the time in the field to build relationships, trust and conduct extensive interviews and gather information, as opposed to parachuting into a scene for a few hours for a quick hit for the evening newscast. All three panelists agreed more time needs to be allotted by news agencies to properly cover First Nations topics, but Lavoie pointed out getting those time allotments given the schedules most news agencies follow can be a tall order. “There’s a growing realization that First Nations issues should be a [larger] part of mainstream reporting, but a major hurdle now is media cutbacks and, like most reporters, I deal with increasingly overworked editors, understaffed newsrooms, space restrictions, crushing deadlines and none of those lead
to thoughtful coverage of complicated indigenous stories,” Lavoie said. While those hindrances should be removed to improve reporting across the board, Lavoie also pointed out it is often the aboriginal communities that shut out local media, which impedes attempts to develop relationships and cover First Nations issues. Rejection combined with dwindling news gathering resources means First Nations reporting either becomes mashed in with other beats or eliminated altogether, she said. However, the speakers noted that business magazines are doing a reasonably good job of reporting on First Nations issues by publishing detailed, balanced stories and profiles. “They seem to extract all the feelings or emotions, as is very often the case with business reporting, and perhaps for that reason there’s quite a bit more effort that goes into what is actually happening on a particular business project or venture or proposed venture because of how sensitive those markets are,” Atleo said.
Atleo also noted the importance of business reporting relative to First Nations and said the economic future of Canada will be based on respect for treaty rights and aboriginal title. “Media’s role, as I see it, is to act as a lever for the less powerful to hold the powerful to account,” Kinew said. “We talk about reconciliation or de-colonization or however you conceive of what this process that Canada is going through in grappling with the challenging aspects of its history and current relationship with indigenous people. “What you’re really talking about is rearranging a power dynamic and so, of course, the tool which can be a lever to hold the powerful to account has an important role to play.” Kinew uses the phrase, “no truth, no reconciliation” to describe media’s potential to leverage the truth about aboriginal and non-aboriginal peoples and cultures, and he asks how people can reconcile and live together if they don’t understand each other. “From the indigenous side, how am I going to be able to live in harmony and peace with people from other nations if I’m constantly playing the victim and believe that they are the perpetrator?” Kinew said. “No, I have to step outside of that way of understanding and seeing.” Kinew also argues that the non-aboriginal perspective of First Nations people also needs to change, something media in all forms can help facilitate, but changing view won’t be easy and can’t happen without exploring sometimes uncomfortable truths about both cultures. “We, as citizens of the globe, can demand better of our media outlets and our media institutions, but it’s not going to be easy,” Kinew said. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

Province must accept ruling Last week’s B.C. Supreme Court ruling that elements of legislation around teacher bargaining rights are still unconstitutional, and served to provoke a strike, should stand as a final warning to the B.C. Liberals. The decision, announced to great fanfare from the B.C. Teachers Federation, was the second such determination by Justice Susan Griffin. In 2011 she ruled that Bill 28 – enacted in 2002, it stripped class size and composition from the collective agreement – was unconstitutional. Part of her reasoning was that it removed the right to bargain those items in future. She gave the Liberals a year to sort things out, but the government ignored the ruling and kept those elements out of Bill 22, the 2012 legislation that expires on June 30. The net result could see teachers and special needs assistants hired around the province to allow for smaller class sizes. Education Minister Peter Fassbender voiced disappointment with the ruling and claimed to have sought collaboration and co-operation in his discussions with the BCTF. That makes for a good sound bite, but government needs to focus more on the big picture, which means looking at the effect of its actions on the end users: students. While we’re all for a fair bargaining structure, this is about more than teachers having slightly better working conditions. With fewer students in the room, those who need more individual help would, theoretically, have more chance to get a few minutes of their instructor’s time. Measuring that benefit to students, which is how governments must gauge such decisions, may be difficult in the short term. At the very least, returning class size and composition to contract discussions is a step toward creating a better learning environment for our children.

Lantzville should source its own water To the Editor,
Re: B.C. company reviving Foothills project, Jan. 28. There is a suggestion that the owners of this project might seek an arrangement with the City of Nanaimo to supply water. I hope that our city fathers will nip that idea in the bud. There have already been suggestions that we may face a water shortage this year because of the low precipitation that has been experienced so far this winter. We are becoming increasingly aware of changing weather patterns, and, under these circumstances, we must protect the long-range interests of the citizens of Nanaimo, and not do anything that would jeopardize having sufficient water. It would be very short-sighted for the City of Nanaimo to sell water so that the Foothills
owners can make their millions while the citizens of Nanaimo run the risk of going without adequate water.
Wayne Brown Nanaimo
To the Editor,
Re: B.C. company reviving Foothills project, Jan. 28. According to the newspaper, the long-stalled new development in Lantzville can now go ahead, because Nanaimo will provide the water for that. So it’s OK for Nanaimo taxpayers to pay for new water infrastructure here to support a massive development outside of city borders. With summers getting hotter and drier, we may well see more water restrictions here in order to serve all that area. Who gains by all this? Not we, the
Nanaimo taxpayers. Furthermore, when the incinerator is built at Duke Point, the more affluent will move to Lantzville to properties with a beautiful view, while Nanaimo provides the services, pays for most of the infrastructure and becomes the garbage capital of B.C. Goodbye to tourism, Nanaimo.

To the Editor,
Re: B.C. company reviving Foothills project, Jan. 28. First, I see many articles which mention how short on water Nanaimo is for future years. With the potential for future weather pattern changes possibly resulting in less snowpack and/or precipitation, one has to wonder why Nanaimo would even remotely consider commit-

Cutbacks at veteran affairs department are shameful
Fair reporting will help with reconciliation
To the Editor,
To the Editor,
I attended the Ka Na Ta Conversations on Wednesday, hoping to come away with some positive information. Hundreds of First Nations supporters showed up cheering at every statement. After an hour and a half, I came to the conclusion that aboriginals want their own media reporters and journalists. One reporter stated that women’s issues don’t have to be reported by women, or men’s issues by men. We expect the media to report the overall news for all Canadians. Past injustices were of course brought up. Mayor John Ruttan apolo-
ting our water to a community outside of Nanaimo. Further, I now read that there is a major housing project being revived for Lantzville and that one of the major stumbling blocks is water, and that they are looking forward to the agreement with Nanaimo. Considering how much undeveloped land still exists within the Nanaimo city limits, generating minimal taxes, why would we want to see development bypass Nanaimo when it would bring in a large amount of much-needed tax money to the city? I trust our mayor and council will put the interests of Nanaimo first and foremost in this matter and drop all consideration of the plan to offer our water to Lantzville.

I am appalled at the treatment of Canada’s veterans by the Veteran Affairs department, and very concerned that the closure of veterans offices across the country is yet another way to stifle all interests that do not fall in line with the prime minister’s agenda. I worked a dozen years on Parliament Hill, and I had a long and challenging intervention with the department simply to get assistance for a veteran of Canada’s Second World War Merchant Marines. The fellow had lost a leg when his ship was torpedoed, and he was facing abject poverty as a result of the government’s unwillingness to recognize those who
served in the Merchant Marines. This arbitrary discrimination, and rather contemptuous treatment of Canada’s veterans appears to be continuing with the present government. I applaud the support from those across Canada who are insisting on a fair and honest process that will see all veterans respectfully compensated and assisted for the sacrifices they’ve made on behalf of democracy and the people of Canada. The prime minister should be ashamed of himself, and we should all let him know he is not going to get away with this dismissive and dishonourable treatment of veterans.

Art needs higher profile in city, say residents
I
NEW CULTURE and Heritage department at city puts on open house. BY NICHOLAS PESCOD THE NEWS BULLETIN
Nanaimo should to make arts more visible within the community, according to some residents of the city. The City of Nanaimo’s newly formed Culture and Heritage Department held its first open house of the year on Jan. 29 at the Nanaimo Art Gallery. The department displayed its most recent cultural plan and invited members to get to know staff and voice their opinions. Nanaimo resident Melanie Godel said she wants the City of Nanaimo to make art more noticeable within the community. “Make the arts more visible in Nanaimo. Public arts and public events to showcase that art ... seeing people come together to celebrate it,” Godel said. Willow Friday, owner of Iron Oxide Art Supplies, echoed similar thoughts. “I would like to see more visual art happening in the moment outside, in the streets,” Friday said. The department was created last November as part of a restructuring effort by city council. Culture and Heritage coordinator Chris Barfoot said the four-person department is putting the finishing touches on a new culture plan for the City of Nanaimo, which they hope to present to council on March 1. “First of all, we want it to go to council and be recognized and adopted by council,” he said. “Our department is new and it is something that has never been done before.” The culture plan was created in four phases and began in early 2012. With the help of public consultation, the plan lays out shortand long-term goals of the department. “The culture plan really speaks

to all the wonderful things that are happening in Nanaimo and what we can do as a department to either help those groups collaborate and really work with the resources that they have and share those resources,” Barfoot said. Some of the purposes of the cultural plan include determining a clear vision for culture within the city as well as supporting and encouraging community wellness, cultural awareness and active living. The plan also calls for more public art, small-scale performance venues, public spaces in the north end and an expansion of the Port Theatre. “Our goal is no matter what we do in the city, whether it be planning, whether it be development, that it is looked at through that culture and heritage lens,” Barfoot said. Another area that the department focused heavily on is collaboration between artists within the region. “I think the thing that we’ve struggled with and that this plan really speaks to is the connectivity and that collaboration ... connecting Gabriola to Nanaimo, making them feel a part of the community and making the people that live here feel a part of the community and feel proud to be here. “The big one for us is the collaboration to enhance the quality of life,” he said. “Looking at everything through a cultural lens.” Despite her concerns about the lack of visual art in Nanaimo, Godel agrees with the culture and heritage plan, which encourages all members of the artistic community to collaborate together with the city. “I definitely agree with what they’re doing because a huge part of the arts is bringing artistic people together and really showcasing what they have to offer,” Godel said. “Once that is actually visible for the community, people will think, ‘OK, this is an artistic community’ instead of just the artistic people knowing that it is an artistic community.”

Drag queen stars in film By Nicholas Pescod THE NEWS BULLETIN
Local actor and drag queen Rick Meyers has made the jump from stage to the big screen. Meyers, who best known by his drag queen name Vikki Smudge, will be starring in the mystery short film titled Greyscale. The 12-minute film is scheduled to make its worldwide premiere at the Vancouver Island Short Film Festival on Feb. 7-8. “Everyone who knows me and my career knows Vikki
Smudge. While I love Vikki with all my heart, there’s a great amount of excitement and nervousness to play someone else and to be a part of a project where I’m unmasked and I have to show what I can do without the makeup and costume,” Meyers said in a press release. “Hopefully, people won’t see Vikki Smudge or Rick Meyers but another side to me altogether.” In an interview with the Bulletin, Meyers explained that the adjustment from stage to film had its challenges.
“Film is really different,” he said. “In theatre you’re always playing to the 18th row ... whereas in film the camera reads you.” Meyers explained that in addition to making the transition to film, it was different for him to play a character other than Smudge. “I am big flamboyant queen and for me to sit still for the same sort of story without all that extra stuff was really hard for me. I know that it doesn’t sound like it might be hard, but it was.” arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Nanaimo Economic Development update
with CEO Sasha Angus The Nanaimo economic Development Corporation is gearing up to launch the newest installment of business retention and expansion efforts in the region: Nanaimo Business Counts 2014. This program will bring together nine distinct industry groups to discuss not only the challenges and opportunities facing those key business sectors in Nanaimo, but will also focus on specific topics relevant to each group. These will be focused round-table discussions, and will address topics that business owners in the region have identified as pertinent to their business success. since the organization’s inception, NeDC staff has been gathering information from business leaders in all industry sectors, and have now used that ground-level information to create themes for each 2014 sector forum. A professional facilitator will be utilized in conjunction with NeDC staff to deliver the program, which will run from February to November of 2014. These sessions include: Construction – Building Capital: Traditional and non-traditional financing; Manufacturing – Managing efficiency and productivity; Tourism – Preparing to welcome more non-North American-based tourists; Retail – leveraging social media for local community businesses; Professional, scientific and Technical – importing talent versus developing homegrown; Arts and Culture – Attracting new customers to the arts; Real estate – Attracting more nonNorth American based buyers;
Michael Pizzitelli has been moved by the spirit, so to speak, to build Nanaimo’s first micro distillery. The facility on Boxwood Road will produce vodka, gin and absinthe with first batches scheduled to be on local retailers’ shelves by late spring or early summer.

start-ups – entrepreneurial opportunity and resources in Nanaimo; education – Relationship building between education and business. we’re excited to provide great value for our business community through this program. This is an example of the NeDC’s effort to develop our local business community through communication, relationship building and the sharing of important information. while each sector forum will be attended by 10-12 business owners, the information taken from the sessions will be shared widely with the entire business community. we are currently contacting businesses to take part in the Nanaimo Business Counts program. if you are interested in gathering further details about the program, or would like to participate in one of the sessions, please contact Peter McGee, economic development coordinator, at peter.mcgee@ investnanaimo.com.
Nanaimo’s first distillery plans to raise profits from the spirit world. Michael Pizzitelli, 28, who holds degrees in biochemistry, cellular biology and brewing and distillery, plus several years’ experience in the brewing and distilling industry, has built Nanaimo’s first
distillery. Arbutus Distillery, a grain-based micro distillery built around a Germanmade, 1,000-litre still on Boxwood Road, will likely have its first batches of vodka, gin and possibly even absinthe on store shelves by April. Pizzitelli, originally from Ontario, got into brewing as a hobby, which
ultimately led him to consider the distillery business as a career. “I did my master’s in cell biology and afterward I wasn’t quite sure if wanted to carry on with that,” Pizzitelli said. “I heard you could do a master’s in brewing distillery, so I figured I’d do that and once I did that I just started getting jobs.” After working in the rapidly growing craft brewing industry for several years, Pizzitelli knew he wanted to continue working

in the business. He liked the idea of living on Vancouver Island and since had family living in B.C., where legislation has shifted favourably for liquor production and sales, he opted to move to Nanaimo. “You can technically put a distillery anywhere, but the legislation in the west has tended to be one of the more progressive places in the country,” Pizzitelli said. Why build a distillery instead of a brewery? There’s a lot of crossover between making beer and spirits, but there are big differences between the two processes, and Pizzitelli said he finds the final processes of distilling spirits into products like gin, vodka and absinthe more enjoyable and interesting. Coven vodka and Empiric gin will be the first products buyers will see on store shelves. The label designs, created by Nanaimo design firm Hired Guns Creative, created a stir in the commercial design world with write-ups and commentary from various publications. u See ‘CRAFT’ /23

Students’ union presses for sweatshop-free zone
I
aSkINg VIU to ensure companies provide ethical employment. By Karl yu THE NEWS BuLLETIN
Vancouver Island University’s students’ union is hoping that the post-secondary educational institution will become a sweatshop clothing-free zone. Inspired in part by the fatal garment factory collapse in Bangladesh last April – where more than 1,000 deaths and more than 2,500 injuries were reported – the union embarked on a two-part campaign with the hopes that the university will approve an ethical purchasing policy and join labour rights watchdog Worker Rights Consortium, according to campaign organizer Patrick Barbosa. The Bangladesh factory provided clothing to North America, including Loblaw Companies Ltd.’s Joe Fresh line, and it is the hope of the students’ union that all clothing provided at the university is not purchased from similar places, whether from India or North America. “We know that in the bookstore, the university does a fairly decent job ensuring that the majority, if not all items, sold out of the bookstore are sweatshop-free and that’s largely because of pressure
from other universities across North America,” Barbosa said. More than 193 North American universities are part of the Worker Rights Consortium, including Yale, Princeton, McMaster and Queen’s. Barbosa said the students’ union doesn’t know from where the university gets staff uniforms, nursing student smocks or gear for athletes. “We would like to see the university participate and provide a fairly small membership contribution to ensure that there’s the opportunity to certify factories that are providing ethical employment,” Barbosa said. No one from the university was able to comment by press time but communications manager Janina Stajic did say the university is supportive of the students’ union and has supported a number of union initiatives in the past. “We have a good relationship with the students’ union,” she said. “We appreciate the work that they do on behalf of the students.” As part of the campaign, members will be seeking to collect signatures from a minimum of 2,000 people on campus by the end of the spring semester, with the aim of presenting the petition to the board. Two hundred people had signed as of Thursday afternoon. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com
Installation company grows More and more homeowners are choosing Ikea kitchens, and now mid-Island residents can take advantage of Ikan Installations, a company that eliminates the do-ityourself aspect and brings the professionals. Ikan serves Nanaimo, Ladysmith, Parksville and Qualicum. Established by two Victoria carpenters in 2011, Ikan has installed almost 300 Ikea kitchens on the south Island. Ikan’s professional interior designers work with homeowners at their homes to design a functional kitchen in the style they want; then the install team takes care of ordering, shipping, assembling and installing. Ikan does not have a formal business relationship with Ikea, but works closely with the store.

Craft spirits more affordable u From /22 Coven vodka will appear on shelves in a white, frosted bottle with simple red text and a cap hand-dipped in red sealing wax, but when the lights go down the bottle’s white coating glows bright green with images of a gathering of witches. Pre-launch attention like that has generated plenty of local interest that should help get the distillery, Pizzitelli’s first venture into his own business, off to a strong start. “You wouldn’t do it if you didn’t think it would work, but you’re also not doing it for another reason other than that’s what you want to do,” Pizzitelli said. “There’s certainly trends in general across North America that are in my favour. I’m not the only one who’s doing it. There’s a whole bunch of people that are starting up.” The target market for Arbutus Distillery products will be private stores specializing in craft products and cocktail bars and clubs specializing in niche market liquors. The playing field for craft distilleries and breweries has changed, favouring new startup operations. High taxes and
small batch economics dictated prices of around $45 or $50 a bottle for specialty liquors, which left slim profit margins for some producers. “If you’re buying a local vodka or something like that, it shouldn’t be $50 a bottle, but there really was no other choice in the past for some manufacturers,” Pizzitelli said. New tax exemptions in B.C. allow for better profit margins and lower prices, meaning Coven vodka, Empiric gin or Baba Yaga absinthe, named for a witch from Slavic folklore, could be retail priced at about $35 a bottle, similar to what some other craft distilleries on the Lower Mainland are now selling their products for. Pizzitelli also wants to try marketing a line of specialty liqueurs. About 15 craft distilleries are scattered throughout the province and more are opening. A series of tax breaks could open the floodgates for a new wave of craft distilleries, similar to what has happened over the past 15 years with the growth of the craft brewery industry across Canada and the U.S. photos@nanaimobulletin.com
Chamber Chat Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce CEO
Kim Smythe
And the winner is … We’ll be saying that 13 times on the evening of Feb. 21 at the 14th Annual Chamber of Commerce Business Achievement Awards at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre. Just this past Friday, the 66 nominees were announced and finalists introduced to a business crowd of more than 100 at a cocktail reception at the Grand Hotel. The awards recognize chamber members and non-members alike. The chamber reformatted the event during the past year to update the presentation and style of the event, creating new categories and eliminating others to keep the awards relevant to today’s economy and recognize emerging business sectors. This year, categories for recognition include Customer Service; Exporter of the Year; Innovation; Spirit of Nanaimo; Workplace Excellence; Tourism Impact; Youth and Student Entrepreneurs; and of course, Lifetime Achievement. The Feb. 21 gala will feature a cocktail and networking reception, live entertainment, a buffet dinner and the presentations themselves
featuring a celebrity MC. New awards have been designed and a new logo for the event bearing the likeness of a ram’s head. The significance of the image relates to the symbology of the ram -- a long held symbol of determination, action, initiative, and leadership. The ram is also a symbol of Aries, the first sign of the Zodiac, further reinforcing ramlike attributes of leadership and authority. This symbol embraces the return of the warmth of the sun as the March equinox approaches. We felt these qualities related very well to the entrepreneurs and business leaders that the Business Achievement Awards are honouring and was an optimistic reference to the approaching spring season – another symbol of growth and renewal. Members and non-members are invited to attend the awards and celebrate with colleagues and business leaders congratulating them on their efforts and success. For more information, or to purchase tickets, please contact the chamber at 250-756-1191 or www.nanaimochamber.bc.ca.

HOLLISTER Henry John
Dec. 26, 1917 – Jan. 29, 2014 Harry passed away peacefully early Wednesday morning at Woodgrove Manor. He was predeceased by his loving wife of 62 years, Mary; and his son, Bobby, who passed tragically at the age of two. Harry is survived by his sisters-in-law, Doris and Trudy Newman; and nephews, Alf Spencer, David and Scott Newman. He was a WWII veteran and a lifetime member of Branch 256 Royal Canadian Legion. Harry will be greatly missed by his close family and friends. Sands ~ Nanaimo (250)753-2032
Isabelle B. Graham July 22, 1924 ~ January 3, 2014
It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of our loving mother, Isabelle Bewick Graham (nee Oxley). Mom, with her infectious laughter and smile was predeceased by husband, Jack (Dad), her Rock for 59 years. Also gone are brothers, Bob and Leslie. We are thankful that Aunty Nancy Hamilton is still here bringing us joy. The rest of us missing mom are as follows: son, Jack (Beverly) Graham; daughter, Kathryn Falvai (Gord Hiebert).; grandkids: Kyle (Carlie) Graham, Kristy Graham (Tim Shea), Mathew Falvai, Adam Falvai, David Falvai, and Theresa Whitbeck with her 5 daughters; other great-grandkids include: Kayla, Sydney and Austin Graham and Nico Bella Shea. There are many nieces, nephews and their families; she was especially loved by niece, Diane (Rick) Ketch. Mom loved the outdoors, whether camping or just her many years with the Woodgrove Walking Club. She had many hobbies and was involved with the Upper Island Music Festival, Highland Games, and Bea Mcleods Ballet School. Mom and Bea were lifelong friends and shared many adventures. She will surely be missed at the Kiwanis dining hall and for such a small lady, she will leave a huge empty spot at all of our family gatherings. We miss you Mom. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Kiwanis Lodge Auditorium February 8th at 2 p.m. So bring your memories and stories and if we listen really hard we will hear her laughter and feel the warmth of her smile. In lieu of flowers those who wish to do so, may send donations in memory of Isabelle to their favorite charity.

Clippers raising their game Inbrief I sports
NANAIMO WINS 4-2 in only test of weekend.
Junior T-men build up roster
BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
The Nanaimo Clippers’ cycle game is working right now. The Clips are winning games, which is building their confidence, which is in turn helping them play well and win more games. Nanaimo’s B.C. Hockey League team defeated the Victoria Grizzlies by a 4-2 score on Friday night at Frank Crane Arena in the only action of the weekend for the Clippers. “Our confidence level has grown and it helps us come out even stronger and be more excited for games like this,” said Devin Brosseau, one of the team’s alternate captains. The Clippers had good energy in the first period, and undaunted by penalty trouble, they scored twice in the opening frame. Brosseau had both goals, first cashing in a rebound of a Scott Prier point shot and then wristing one in on a twoon-one break late in the period. Brendan Taylor scored on a rebound on a second-period power play to make it 3-0, but the Grizz got one back on a Jaden Schmeisser wrister in the final minute of the period. Vic closed within a goal early in the third period but Nanaimo didn’t seem to panic. “We worked hard all game and we applied a lot of forecheck and we tried to stick with it defensively and keep things simple and I think

it worked out,” Brosseau said. Ta y l o r s c o re d a n empty-net goal to ice the win and Jayson Argue made 39 saves. Both of Victoria’s goals were scored on delayed penalties, but Nanaimo was a perfect 8-for-8 on the penalty kill. Coach Mike Vandekamp said that was a difference maker in the game, and said Argue was a major part of the PK’s success. “We did have a plan of what we thought they were going to be doing with the power play and how we could defend it and we executed that pretty well,” the coach said. His team was penalized more than he would have liked. “If there’s a physical penalty taken, we can
live with that, but we’ve obviously got to work on avoiding the other ones,” he said. But if the Clippers were overly enthusiastic at times, well, it might be because they’re pretty excited about this final stretch of the season. “It’s important to step up your game when playoffs are coming and that’s what we’re trying to do,” Brosseau said. “We’re building ourselves an identity for the playoffs and our confidence level has grown tremendously and I think it shows on the ice.” GAME ON … The Clippers visit the Alberni Valley Bulldogs on Wednesday (Feb. 5) and then host the Cowichan Valley Capitals on Friday at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane. sports@nanaimobulletin.com
The Nanaimo Timbermen junior A lacrosse team added some nextgeneration talent last month. The team added eight players Jan. 26 at the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League’s entry draft. The junior Timbermen had stockpiled three first-round picks and two second-round picks. Nanaimo’s first choice was Liam Finnigan, taken second overall from Juan de Fuca. The T-men also chose Tyler Mace of Saanich and Tyson Black from Cowichan in the first round. Second-round choices were Chris Branting of Cowichan and Pascal Coombs of Saanich. Nanaimo’s other picks were Jordan Wendt, Travis Gronsdahl and Brandon Corby.

THE NEWS BULLETIN
Victoria Grizzlies player Jay Mackie, left, doesn’t agree with Nanaimo Clippers opponent Mason Mitchell that a first-period goal should count. The goal was disallowed as Mitchell was penalized on the play.

Vancouver Island University’s basketball teams swept their road trips, and the games weren’t even really all that close.

VIU’s men were nearly as thorough, beating Kwantlen 100-75 and CBC 97-74. The Mariners host the Capilano Blues on Friday (Feb. 7) and the Quest Kermodes on Saturday at the VIU gym.

Curlers can handle Scotties spotlight
I
TEAM B.C. ready for new experiences.
BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN
K e s a Va n O s c h and her teammates have made pressurepacked shots before. They’ve needed to, or they wouldn’t be here. But it will still be a little different, making those shots this week in Montreal at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts with the whole curling world watching. Van Osch and her teammates Stephanie Baier, Jessie Sanderson and Carley Sandwith will have their every throw telecast and tweeted, praised and panned. None of the four young women have curled at nationals before, or faced quite this level of competition, with these sort of stakes. “Obviously five minutes before you’re going out for a really important game, your nerves are there, but they’re good nerves,” said Baier, the team’s third. “That means you know it’s important.”

Van Osch team plays plenty of extra ends All the games seem to be coming down to the last rock, and that’s how it’s supposed to be at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts. At press time, Kesa Van Osch’s Team B.C. was 1-3 to start the tourney. They started with a 7-4 extra-end win over Prince
Edward Island’s Kim Dolan on Saturday, but then lost 8-6 to Alberta’s Val Sweeting in an extra end later that day and 4-3 to New Brunswick’s Andrea Crawford in an extra end on Sunday morning. Van Osch then fell 7-6 to Manitoba’s Chelsea Carey on Sunday evening.

Kesa Van Osch, left, Stephanie Baier, Jessie Sanderson and Carley Sandwith hit the ice at the Nanaimo Curling Centre before leaving for the Tournament of Hearts.
Coach Cindy Tucker has talked a lot with the team, she said, about “maintaining our little bubble.” She’s been to the Scotties twice as a competitor and knows about curling under pressure. “When I was doing it there wasn’t the social media that’s out there now,” she said. “So [we’re] making sure that the girls don’t get too caught up in that stuff.” But Baier said she and her teammates enjoy sharing their
enthusiasm about the sport that way. “We’re so happy that curling is taking more of a limelight in social media,” she said. “For younger people, being on TV, we’re hitting a broader audience. It’s not only curlers watching, it’s fans of sport. So we’re very excited to be a part of that.” So they might gain some Facebook friends and they might have to fend off Twitter trolls, and if it brings added pressure, well, there was
going to be pressure anyway. “Everybody wants Team B.C. to win that Scotties Tournament of Hearts,” said Van Osch, the skip from Nanaimo. “But you just have to go there and do your best and try not to get yourself freaked out with all the pressure that you’re going to have.” ICE CHIPS … To help cheer on the team, follow @VanOschCurling, @StephJackson16, @J_Sanderson and @carleysandwich.

Bucs win both games The Nanaimo Buccaneers showed signs that their game is starting to come back around. The city’s junior B hockey team swept a home-and-home series with the Saanich Braves last week, winning 4-3 on Thursday at the Nanaimo Ice Centre and then 8-2 the next night in Victoria. In the home game, David Osborne led the
Buccaneers with two goals and Dan Foglietta and Will McNamara also tallied. Jackson Jane made 19 saves for the win as shots were 23-22 for Nanaimo. In the blowout, new team captain Lee Orpen scored a hat trick and Garrett Brandsma had two goals and one assist. Other scorers were Foglietta, Shane Dial and Kyle MacDonald and Ryan Waldhaus
made 22 saves for the ‘W’ as his team outshot the Braves 32-24. It’s the first time the Bucs have put together any kind of win streak since early November. GAME ON … The Buccaneers (24-17-2-1) host the Peninsula Panthers on Thursday (Feb. 6) at 7:15 p.m. at the NIC, then visit the Comox Valley Glacier Kings on Saturday up Island.

VIU women battle to victory Vancouver Island University’s women’s volleyball team stayed atop the standings, but it took a gritty win. VIU’s volleyball teams took their longest road trip of the season on the weekend, travelling to Cranbrook to face the College of the Rockies in Pacific Western Athletic Association action. The M’s women (18-2) were matched up against the conference’s last-placed Avalanche, but the home team rose to challenge the visitors from Vancouver Island. The first match took five sets for VIU to prevail 21-25, 25-15,
16-25, 25-16, 15-13. The next day’s rematch was a more convincing win for VIU, 25-19, 18-25, 25-18, 25-16. The M’s men (10-10) dropped to .500 after a pair of four-set losses to the Avs, 25-20, 25-23, 25-27, 25-22 on Friday and 25-16, 25-18, 22-25, 225-23 on Saturday. GAME ON … VIU’s volleyball teams visit the Columbia Bible College Bearcats this coming Friday (Feb. 7) and Saturday in Abbotsford … VIU’s volleyball teams both have just one home match remaining, Feb. 13 versus the Camosun Chargers.

MEET BREANA: A Volunteer for the Heart and Stroke Foundation
250-751-1727
Breana Curnow of Nanaimo, B.C. has been actively volunteering with the Heart and Stroke Foundation for a number of years now. She has been actively helping out as a Person to Person Canvasser for donations during the annual Heart Month in February. Breana also helps out with Big Bike during Stroke Month in June with her three young sons Gavin, Keiffe, and Calihan Bourne by handing out noisemakers. “Volunteering has created a connection for my children as to why their granddad died and gives me opportunities to heal and move forward. It allows my children to contribute to society and be a part of their community.” During Gavin’s recent birthday, rather than asking for the latest video games or new toys, he asked for money. Not so he could buy himself anything he wanted, but so he could make a contribution to the Foundation to help prevent disease, save lives, and promote recovery. Gavin bought himself a small gift and donated the rest. They also held a popcorn sale at one of the boys’ preschool to raise money and donated all of its proceeds to the Foundation. Breana and her sons have generously supported the Foundation food equipment ltd as much as possible and are planning to help out again next year at Big Bike and during Heart Month. Open To The Public It really is such a small amount of our time, but makes a huge Variety of smallwares impact on others. available in our showroom The Foundation is always looking for more Person to Person Canvassers and volunteers like Breana, Gavin, Keiffe, and 250-390-3224 Calihan to raise awareness and collect funds for research and 7431 Industrial Road Lantzville, B.C. www.jemcofood.com health promotion initiatives.
