Lantzville considers options on water I developer made claims earlier this month of new source. By Tamara cuNNiNgham The News BulleTiN

lights reflect off the road at night near the Cedar road overpass on the Trans Canada Highway. The ministry of Transportation experimented with a more reflective paint three years ago that allowed motorists to see lines better during dark, rainy conditions.

Paint experiment deemed success By Nicholas Pescod The News BulleTiN

Three years ago Nanaimo became the first city in Canada to apply a special type of road paint that allowed motorists to see pavement markings in dark, rainy conditions. The special type of road, known as Continuous Wet Night, was applied over nine-kilometres in both directions on Island Highway between Brenton Page Road and Kipp Road with only the centre lines receiving the new product. Ministry of Transportation regional project manager Darren Englund said Continuous Wet Night cost taxpayers roughly $120,000 and was extremely effective at first. “It was very vivid, especially at night,” Englund said. There are various types of road markings available for jurisdictions to use. The most common type of application is standard road paint with glass beads. When a motorist’s

headlights hit standard road paint markings the beads reflect the light back to the motorist, making the lines visible at night. However, when the beads are covered in water, the light becomes distorted, thus creating poor visibility for the driver. What separates Continuous Wet Night from traditional road paint is the type of beads used. Continuous Wet Night uses microcrystalline ceramic beads that use the water to help reflect the light back to the driver in wet night conditions, whereas traditional road paint uses large glass beads. However, since the application was applied nearly four years ago, motorists are unlikely to notice any visible difference between Brenton Page Road and Kipp Road in dark rainy conditions. The ministry was well aware that the application’s main feature wouldn’t last long, Englund said. “Over the years it wears down and we knew that was going to happen,” he said. See ‘LONG-LASTING’ /3

Emotions on Lantzville council are running from excited to cautious as politicians consider solutions for limited water supply. The District of Lantzville is evaluating future water sources for the rural community, including a water-sharing agreement with the City of Nanaimo and the potential of tapping into a source at the Foothills Estates. The district has long been on the hunt for water to address stagnant growth and contaminated private wells. This month, Lone Tree Properties – the company behind the Lantzville Foothills Estates – announced drilling efforts may have uncovered enough water to support its development and “all the needs” of Lantzville. It also said it would be willing to chip in to the cost of water-sharing infrastructure with Nanaimo as it urged the district to come to the bargaining table and discuss a joint water strategy. The move comes on the heels of the City of Nanaimo approving a proposed 20-year watersharing deal in February that offers 50 new development connections each year and water for 225 upper Lantzville homes. The initial hook-up fee is pegged at $1.3 million. According to councillors, it’s

RECRUITMENT

too early to talk about what the recent Foothills discovery means for negotiations with Nanaimo or which course is best. They say more information is needed on the costs of different options, water in the Foothills and the desire of the community. Mayor Jack de Jong and Coun. Joe Bratkowski said the district still has to review the terms and conditions of the Nanaimo agreement and would like to see a hydro geologist report from Lone Tree Properties that demonstrates the quality and quantity of water on the property. The source is “not proven at this point in time,” de Jong said, adding he has doubts “at this moment” the developer can supply as much water as the City of Nanaimo. Coun. Jennifer Millbank is also seeking more technical information, but says it’s “fantastic” the community has choices, while Coun. Denise Haime calls a local source “exciting” and wants the community to weigh in. Haime also plans to propose a referendum on the water-sharing deal this month. “The community needs to sit down and have a conversation about what they want to do with regards to water and from who and how this is all supposed to work,” Haime said. “If the developer feels there’s enough water on their own property now and enough for the community, well then maybe we need to look at that before we sign any water agreement. The price tag with the city is a huge price tag.” See ‘WATER-SHARING’ /3

Long-lasting paint balances expense Irrational rationale

“It is still above our thresholds, meaning we don’t need to repair it or repaint it, but it does start getting lower and lower to about the equivalent of what regular paint is. So for the average driver they probably don’t see a negligible difference in the visual aspect of it.” Englund noted that over a fiveyear period it would be cheaper to repaint the road with traditional paint, but added that there was an added benefit to the $120,000 cost of Continuous Wet Night. “We have a more consistent line throughout the year in terms of safety and reflectivity ... There has got to be a safety factor into it because in the end [Continuous Wet Night] is costing us,” Englund said. Since Continuous Wet Night was applied, the ministry has not had to repaint the section of

Police seek witnesses to fire

SECoND FIRE set in women’s clothing department at The Bay in three months. By ChrIs Bush

Police and fire investigators are scouring the evidence for clues leading to an arsonist who set a fire in the women’s clothing department at The Bay at Woodgrove Centre in Nanaimo on the weekend. Flames erupted from a clothing rack shortly before 4 p.m. Sunday in what was the second fire set in the store in less than three months. Capt. Ennis Mond, Nanaimo Fire Rescue fire prevention officer, said the fire was set in a rack of women’s clothing less than seven metres away from where a previous fire was lit in a clothing rack Jan. 2.

Water-sharing agreement on Lantzville agenda and water but “I think it’s really early for us, for council, to make a decision on it. He needs to demonstrate he has the water,” Bratkowski said. Millbank says next steps should also include learning how any proposals will affect taxpayers. The water-sharing agreement is expected to be on the Lantzville council agenda Monday (March 24).

From /1

The District of Lantzville’s legal advisors are currently combing through the water-agreement with Nanaimo. It was called a business deal by some Nanaimo city councillors and Bratkowski said it must be the same for Lantzville. He adds that he’d like to see the rural community tap into city water, which has proven quality. As for the Foothills, Lone Tree has talked about cost-sharing for infrastructure

“It was similar circumstances,” Mond said. “RCMP are investigating.” As with the previous fire, an employee knocked down the flames with a fire extinguisher. No injuries were reported and there was less flame damage than the January fire, but the heat triggered the store’s sprinkler system and spread smoke damage throughout the store. Staff and customers were evacuated. Police have not arrested a suspect so far, but want to talk with any potential witnesses. “There’s a person of interest and the investigation is continuing,” said Sgt. Sheryl Armstrong, Nanaimo RCMP spokeswoman. “Anybody with information, we’re asking to call us. We’re looking for witnesses.” Anyone with information about these fires 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.

road and won’t need to replace it for at least two more years, which was one of the reasons behind applying it. “That’s the benefit that we are looking at. The fact that we are spending a higher premium on Day 1 but we don’t have to paint it again … we leave it and let it go its life.” The ministry has mulled over the idea of applying Continuous Wet Night pavement markings to other areas on the Island, such as along the Malahat, but are still testing a variety of other products. “A test project was done, and I believe it was on Highway 3 in the Lower Mainland, where it had about 10 kilometres of paint lines redone and every kilometre was a different product,” Englund said. “Even in the last three to four years we haven’t confirmed anything yet.”

City gives lacrosse teams dry-floor space By GreG Sakaki The News BulleTiN

The City of Nanaimo decided to melt the ice this spring, after all. A plan to have two ice sheets and two dry floors at Nanaimo arenas was overturned by the city’s Recreation Committee at a meeting Thursday at the Bowen Park Activity Centre. The city will instead go ahead with the usual model of three dry floors and one ice sheet. The decision will take away ice time from spring hockey and city programming and give additional floor time to lacrosse starting April 25. City councillor and recreation commissioner Diana Johnstone made the motion. Lynda Avis was the only member to vote against it. Johnstone said she’s confident that parks and rec staff will be able to “massage” the new ice and dry-floor allocations to accommodate as many people as possible. “It’s not perfect, none of the options were perfect with regard to accommodating everybody

and all the users,” Johnstone said. Avis said she was concerned about the ice users and also those who signed up for the city’s activity guide programs. “You set out your schedules, families make commitments and then all of a sudden they’re gone,” she said.

“

you set out your schedules, families make commitments and then all of a sudden they’re gone.

Nanaimo District Lacrosse Association president Brian Boas said the committee’s decision will allow his association to move forward with plans for opening day in early April. But the rec committee’s decision will leave spring hockey scrambling. “Losing the second sheet of ice is detrimental to the user groups, especially when we’ve been promised to have them for the season,” said Yvette McKay,

the Nanaimo Minor Hockey Association’s Spring Sticks program coordinator. She said her association is waiting to see its revised ice-time allotment to determine whether or not the program can proceed with its inaugural season. McKay said it might be too late now for parents to register their children in spring hockey in neighbouring communities, so some kids might get shut out. Rick Hannibal, coach of Nanaimo Young Guns Hockey, suggested he’ll have to find ice time elsewhere for his players from across the upper Island. “These people, when they come into town, they’re staying in hotels, in campgrounds, they’re eating at restaurants and now we’re going to have to take them out of town instead of being in Nanaimo,” Hannibal said. The immediate financial impact of the new arena allocations won’t be known until city staff have redistributed ice and floor times, said Richard Harding, the city’s director of parks, recreation and environment. When staff makes the arena scheduling revisions, tournaments and youth sports will be prioritized.

Watershed monitoring discussed at Island water conference

Viu hosts spring break activity days Vancouver Island University is hosting Spring Break Days from today through Thursday (March 18-20) to welcome new applicants, prospective students and community members. Daytime and evening sessions will be held. “It’s an ideal time for students and/or their parents to take advantage of spring break and explore post-secondary options at VIU,” said Tina McComb, director, enrolment management. “During daytime sessions, 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., we’ll offer campus tours and opportunities for attendees sit in on classroom lectures, and meet and engage with faculty and other students. Staff will be available to answer questions about the application process and more.” Evening sessions, which begin at 6:30 p.m., are tailored to prospective students and community members interested in learning about specific VIU programs. Registration is not required. The Faculty of Arts and Humanities and Faculty of Social Sciences will host evening sessions tonight, while faculties of Science and Technology and Management will hold sessions Thursday. “Prospective students, parents and community mem bers more than welcome to attend,” said McComb. Please register for daytime events by e-mailing cu@viu.ca. Evening sessions are open to all.

Nanaimo News Bulletin 7

By Karl yu The News BulleTiN

Helin works with the students three days a week and so far he has been able to figure out each student’s particular knack or natural ability and where each participant best fits into the carving team, which is important for the outcome of the pole and for the students, who each have no more than 90 minutes per week, to get the most out of working on the project. “Once I get cutting into it and I get everybody sort of tasked in to shaping ... that’s the whole thing is getting used to working with some of the tools, but I’ve got everybody figured out pretty much as far as what everybody can do,” Helin said. The pole is being carved in the Coast Salish style, which is different from the Tsimshian designs of coastal Alaska Helin normally draws upon. The pole from bottom to top features a box, representing knowledge; a human spirit, representing teachers passing knowledge; a dolphin representing the spirits of the students who swim upstream through their learning process until they are carried off to higher levels of wisdom and knowledge; and the spirit of the eagle at the top of the pole. Zhijun An, an international student from China, carefully drew scale lines on the pole and said the opportunity to work on the project was fun, but found specific aspects of the work to be the most interesting. “Drawing, painting and a little bit of carving,” An said. Upon completion in June, the pole will be raised inside the school with a blessing ceremony.

Water will be the topic of discussion at a conference hosted by the Regional District of Nanaimo at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre Friday (March 21). The aim of the Nanaimo Water Day Symposium is to discuss a number of projects that have been taking place in the region, said Mike Donnelly, regional district manager of water services. “The main thrust of that day is the reporting out by the Geological Survey of Canada on the Nanaimo lowlands project ... there was a lot of project work done basically from the Englishman River up to Bowser/Deep Bay that looked at the geology and the aquifers and the interaction between surface water and those aquifers,” said Donnelly. Another initiative that will be discussed is the Community Watershed Monitoring Program, a partnership between the regional district, the Ministry of Environment and streamkeeper groups from Nile Creek near Bowser all the way to Nanaimo River. “What that program does is the volunteer groups they go out ... there are five visits they do in the summer and five visits to the stream they do in the winter, the first flush, the first storms, and they collect data – conductivity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, temperature, and they take all that data,” said Donnelly. The regional district provides equipment, the groups collects the data and the Ministry of Environment assess the data and then posts it. Donnelly said the streamkeeper groups provide good information, which has allowed for a good view on the health of rivers now and how it will change over time. The symposium will also spotlight partnerships in the regional district emerging from the Drinking Water and Watershed Protection Program, which the regional district’s municipalities and electoral areas work together to fund. Donnelly said it has been in place since 2008 and the primary goal is to protect the water resource for the growing region. Other presenters include people from the Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations and the POLIS Water Project. The water day symposium takes place between 8:45 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is a free event. For more information call 250-3906560 or go to www.rdnwaterbudget.ca/ nanaimo-water-day.

Students at Dover Bay Secondary School are carving out an exchange of ideas and cultures with help from one of Canada’s most renowned artists. Dozens of students are chipping in an hour here, a study block there, to carve a legacy for their school from a section of a 280-yearold cedar tree. Leading the process is Bill Helin, a Tsimshian First Nation artist, jeweller and designer who’s work literally found its way around the planet when he created mission uniform patches for space shuttle and International Space Station missions. His current project is a little more down to earth, but has still managed to draw international interest. “We got 60 students who signed up for this with a mix of ancestries – lots of international students,” said Erin Moody, aboriginal education teacher. “We have First Nations, Metis and Inuit students and non-aboriginal kids.” Moody and Dover art teacher Janice Uvanile are working with Helin on the project. Helin is teaching students how to make the tools to carve the four metre-tall pole. During the first week of March students were drawing grid lines on the surface of the log to scale up Helin’s design.

EDITORIAL

B.C. hooked on gambling

Admitted problem gambler Joyce Ross said her lawsuit against the B.C. Lottery Corporation was not about recouping her own losses, but exposing flaws in BCLC’s voluntary-exclusion gamblers program to protect others in future. But with all due deference, it’s hard to see the North Delta woman’s recent lawsuit, in which she alleged she lost $78,000 at Surrey’s Fraser Downs and Langley’s Cascades casinos between 2007 and 2010 – in spite of having signed herself into the voluntary exclusion program – as more than another gamble that failed to pay off. Addiction behaviours – whether linked to gambling, smoking, drinking, soft or hard drugs or other activities – by their very definition have far exceeded the plane where rational decision making enter the picture. By the time someone is classed as an addict, he or she has gone beyond the point of choosing to do something of their own free will, even though those of us who don’t share that particular addiction struggle to understand this. However, B.C. Supreme Court Justice John Truscott – in finding the casinos were not negligent – was right to conclude that gamblers, like Ross, who volunteer for self-exclusion and then try to cheat the system by avoiding detection, should not be given special treatment. He said it was Ross’ primary responsibility to stay out of the casinos. In a practical sense, as he pointed out, to award her money because she was in the self-exclusion program would only encourage other gamblers to join the program to make similar claims. Rather than suing BCLC, Ross’ best hope of changing the system would be to run for provincial office on an anti-gambling platform. Then she would participate in a forum directly with the unseen partner in all problem gambling scenarios. Principal enabler and beneficiary of problem gambling, liquor and tobacco consumption is the provincial government – and it seems unable, to kick the habit.

are going to increase, which coincides nicely with an apparent raise that B..C Ferries Union employees are expected to receive come April 1. In case you forgot, a cashier at the gift shop onboard a B.C. ferry is currently paid more than $20 an hour. This makes me wonder why I bothered going to college. I find it hard to believe that B.C. Ferries couldn’t find it in itself to find other ways to save $18 million over the next two years. According an article in the Vancouver Sun, B.C. Ferries had four vice-president’s making over $225,000 a year in 2012. There were an additional 1,035 employees making over $100,000 that same year. It is no secret that B.C. Ferries management is grossly overstaffed and it doesn’t take an accountant to figure out that if cuts were made to the front office and some of the other under-capacity crossings on major routes that some ferry crossing times could remain on the smaller routes that are scheduled to receive cuts. Following the sinking of the Titanic, there were a handful of lessons that were learned, the most obvious being that ships are now legally required to carry lifeboats to handle the capacity of all those on board. Perhaps it will take a sinking of B.C. Ferries as an organization to achieve an economical, effective and efficient ferry service for all of B.C. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Safety should supersede other concerns Re: Council had its reasons for opposing Telus plan, Letters, March 11. This time last year city councillors were all about safety and spending whatever was needed to make the city safe from the unlikelihood that the Colliery dams would fail. They were willing to spend millions of taxpayer dollars in the name of safety. When the plan to remove the dam was put on hold, they installed warn-

ing signs and a siren system to ensure the safety of south Nanaimo residents. This year it seems that safety is no longer the driving force but riparian (riverside) value alone is. Environmental sustainability may be very nice but what about the safety of residents in the event of an emergency if the land-line phone system went down? Over 80 per cent of adults and many children use cell phones every day for

communication and safety reasons. By opposing Telus’s plan to install a cellular tower at no cost to the city, council has reduced the level of safety for those residents that the rest of us enjoy. I hope the city will put warning signage in the cellphone dead zones to warns us of the danger of no cellphone communication in case of an emergency in this area.

Terry Wagstaff Nanaimo

To the Editor,

Re: Residents need new cell tower, Editorial, March 6. Council changed its view and disallowed giving Telus the green light to build a new antenna on Hammond Bay Road simply because a small group of whiny homeowners did not want to look at it, nothing more. Health hazards or environmental concerns were a smokescreen. In that area of Nanaimo, drivers and residents alike con-

tinue to have a dead zone for cell service. Unfortunately we will only have to wait now for the day someone gets hurt, cannot get a signal and cannot call emergency services. Then, I’m coming to look for those councillors and residents who did not give a damn about looking towards the future and doing something that would have helped out in advance.

Fracking continues unchecked To the Editor,

Re: Fracking using huge amounts of water, Opinion, Feb. 25. If David Suzuki is concerned about fracking, he should have a word with Barack Obama who is using Keystone as a political tool to divert attention from the uncontrolled fracking going on just south of us. His purpose is clear. Divert attention to an imaginary problem while the real one goes unchecked until he has his domestic supply secure. Then he can put those upstarts in the north back in their place.

Nanaimo has too many dilapidated buildings To the Editor,

Re: No one injured after house partially collapses, March 11. The person on Tuesday’s front page should get comfortable with the view of the junk heap of a collapsed house in his backyard. Nanaimo has come long way from its very tough reputation, but the road to dignity is long. For our city to not take timely action on junk buildings is a shame. I understand there are tragic events that happen. I don’t feel we are helping anyone by allowing burned-out junk

houses to sit for months or years. The same applies to buildings that are obviously beyond salvation. I know of several that cannot be rebuilt from the eyesores they have become. I challenge this newspaper to get out on the street, photograph the buildings and demand action on getting rid of this type of blight on the landscape. I want this city to continue to improve and cleaning up the garbage houses and buildings is one area to start with.

Government’s stance on pot is ‘reefer madness’ To the Editor,

Re: Canada plays follow the leader on pot laws, Opinion, March 11. Your column misses the point of both the police and our current government’s desire to ticket cannabis. The plan has nothing to do with loosening cannabis laws or their opinions of the drug and those who use

it. For them it is simple pragmatism: police don’t like the work of arresting a casual cannabis smoker, more so as the cases are rarely prosecuted and even more rarely successful, so they want something that hurts cannabis users and is easy for them to do. Tickets fit the bill perfectly. As for Prime Minister Stephen

Harper and his followers, they are doing everything they can to perpetuate the now decades-old ‘reefer madness’ so they can continue to drag us down the path the United States is desperately trying to reverse. Mandatory minimums, for example, have been proven time and again to be a heavy financial

and social burden on society yielding no effective deterence, but my, doesn’t it look impressive to be ‘tough on crime,’ as Richard Nixon showed us. The only possible turning point in the misplaced and failed war on cannabis will be when Harper is but a stain in our history books.

Mounties play for the pleasure of music

“

TRIO PERFORMS at the Queen’s Wednesday (March 19) with JPNSGIRLS.

It was really started for the joy of music and it’s funny because the music business is a place where your dreams of musical love go to perish.

BY NICHOLAS PESCOD THE NEWS BULLETIN

t was 2009 when Juno Award winner Hawksley Workman found himself chatting with Hot Hot Heats’ Steve Bays after a taping of Q with Jian Ghomeshi that an idea was sparked. “We were just talking about music and how we had kind of admired each other’s careers and the things we had done,” Workman said. As the conversation progressed the name Ryan Dahle was mentioned. “For some reason I was like ‘You know what other guy in Vancouver I love is this guy Ryan Dahle,’ and Steve said something like ‘oh, no way, this is crazy – he’s producing our new Hot Hot Heat record’,” Workman said. “It wasn’t too long that the three of us were raising glasses of wine and drunkenly cheering to the band we would one day make.” After years of e-mail exchanges and chit chat the three musicians decided to combine their musical talents and created Mounties in 2012. “We really didn’t know what it was going to be ... I think in some ways it was one of those things that once you become an adult it’s, like, alright I am going to have start following through on some of the things I say I am going to do,” Workman said. “The adult thing to do is to start a bloody band and if it is a failure then it’s a failure. It was really started for the joy of music and it’s funny because the music business is a place where your dreams of musical love go to perish.” On Wednesday (March 19), Mounties perform at the Queen’s alongside JPNSGRLS and Rich Aucoin. “We are really giddy school boys and we cannot wait to get out and play,” Workman said. “It’s embarrassing actually.” The trio will perform songs from their recently released full-length album, Thrash Rock Legacy. Workman explained that Thrash Rock Legacy, which has been described by reviewers

as “music from the future,” draws heavily on their boyhood aspirations. “A lot of of our obsessions that we’re finding when the three of us are in a room together is very much our 1980s boyhood obsessions. So, Lamborghini Countachs and that kind of hope and promise that was part of growing up in the ‘80s, you know? We’re trying to in someways celebrate it as best as possible ... it’s that hopeful imagination of that kid in the ‘80s,” Workman said. “We hadn’t had our hope pounded out of us unlike what some generations are feeling today. It’s true it’s music made for the future, but if it was made 30 years ago.” Workman, 39, began his musical

career more than 10 years ago as a drummer. He eventually transitioned into a singer and released 13 albums during his solo career. He has received two Juno Awards and six nominations. As a member of Mounties, Workman is back doing what he loves most. “All I ever really wanted in the music business was to be a drummer,” he said. “I just wrote my first record to spite a girlfriend and then I became a singer and now I am finally getting to do the thing I always wanted, which is I get to play drums. It’s like I am fulfilling my boyhood fantasy.” In addition to a solo career, Workman has also produced 18 albums for

a handful of artists, including Serena Ryder, Tegan and Sara, Jeremy Fisher, Great Big Sea and Sarah Slean. He said that since the music industry has changed with the advent of the Internet and social media, more industry professionals are concerned with the types of people with whom they work. “What I am hearing more now than ever is ‘are they a good person?’ because it is funny there is no money in the business anymore, not the kind of riches that there were 10 to 15 and 20 years ago. I am noticing quite a bit that before they get into a business relationship with somebody they ask if they are a good person,” Workman said. “Back in the day you’d suffer an asshole or two because there was a million dollars attached to them, but there isn’t a million dollars anymore. So, no one suffers assholes anymore. It’s kind of great actually. It’s like whoever is left in the music business is here because they are good or they’re here for the love of it. It’s a pretty nifty place to be ... There is enough in the music business to be bummed out about, let alone having to deal with an asshole.” Being able to work with Bays and Dahle has created a renewed sense of passion and excitement for Workman. “I couldn’t imagine my creative life without them. It’s so strange how big of a part they are in my life,” he said. “It’s funny how a great experience can bleed into all parts of your life. I am a more fun person to be around. I know even my wife is glad that I am in Mounties, not because I am away a lot though, but because I am a happier, more fun guy.” arts@nanaimobulletin.com

All dance forms pose challenge

body TAlk performance saturday.

By Nicholas Pescod The News BulleTiN

A critically acclaimed choreographer is in the Harbour City this week to lend a hand to some lucky participants. Choreographer Kat Single-Dain is currently in Nanaimo to co-direct the Crimson Coast Dance’s Body Talk Cru latest production, The Body Talk Project. The production be will take place at Vancouver Island University’s Malaspina Theatre on Saturday (March 22). Single-Dain, who moved to Vancouver in 2009, explained that she wants those who are involved in the project to come away with a stronger ability to dance with a partner. “I am not bound by form,” SingleDain said. “I like using form as a tool

for dancing ... but I wouldn’t want people to take away just a knowledge of vintage swing. I would want them to take away a tool set for being able to partner each comfortably and dance to their own tune.” Single-Dain’s love for dance began when she was a little girl. She began taking dance lessons at the age of five and would eventually go on to graduate from the University of California at Berkley in choreography. “I was just the kind of person that wanted to put

together plays with friends and it never really stopped,” Single-Dain said. “Now I direct theatre and produce festivals. I’ve just been following my interest my whole life.” Since graduating in 2006, Single-Dain has choreographed seven full-length, original theatre productions including The Dusty Flowerpot Cabaret. She has previously taught throughout British Columbia, Nevada and Europe. When it comes to teaching dance, Single-Dain believes that there isn’t one

particular style that is harder to teach than another. “In all the dance forms you can get to an equally advanced level,” she said. “As in there equally far to go to. You can really go deep into any them. In terms of teaching I would say all of them are equally challenging.” The Toronto native is hoping that she can create a connection between the performers in The Body Talk Project. “I really want to bring that connection on the dance floor,” she said. “I love to see when people are moving together. So it’s not just solo dancing or that rave style of partying, which is also awesome,” Single-Dain said. “I really like to see when people can dance with each other and have fun,” she said. “That’s really what I get out of what I do.” For more, please visit www.crimsoncoastdance.org. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Many of you are already happy with the results you have achieved with the Black Pearl line of products from this company. My challenge to you is that if you fall into the 50+ category maybe if it is time to step up your skincare regime by replacing one of your Black Pearl products with a Creative product. A good way to do this is to add the Creative eye cream or serum to your regular routine. We have handouts to further explain these products and samples of our famous, much loved, Black Pearl family!

12TH ANNUAL

EDUCATION Choices

Student volunteerism can have a positive impact... and help pay for college Volunteerism can help young people grow into well-rounded, responsible individuals. When volunteering, kids can learn new skills, foster new friendships and contacts, and improve both their social and interpersonal skills. In addition, a 2011 study from researchers at the Stony Brook University School of Medicine found that people are generally happier and healthier when giving back to their communities. The study even recommended that health care professionals recommend volunteering to patients 12 and older, with the belief that helping others provides significant health benefits, including allowing volunteers to escape their stress and anxiety. And, there could even be a few added bonuses for volunteering! Students between the

ages of six and 18 who haven’t yet graduated high school have the chance to be recognized for their volunteering efforts and earn money for higher education thanks to scholarship programs. Every year thousands of young volunteers are awarded for making a positive impact in their communities. Finding the right activity is often the most important step when fostering a love of volunteering in youngsters, and there are a number of great opportunities and causes that children can relate to. * Embrace eco-volunteering. Today’s kids are increasingly eco-conscious, and concepts like recycling, reusing and conserving fuel and energy are second nature to many young people. That makes ecovolunteering a natural fit for

today’s eco-conscious students. Children can volunteer with organizations that remove trash from beaches and parks; plant trees to establish community green spaces; work to promote wildlife conservation; or further recycling efforts in their communities. * Help the needy. Volunteerism can open youngsters’ eyes to the plight of the less fortunate. Various organizations dedicated to helping the needy depend on volunteers of all ages to meet their missions. From soup kitchens to shelters to private clothing or food collection drives, opportunities abound for kids who want to help the less fortunate. * Help the sick. Many organizations that cater to the sick also provide volunteering opportunities to youngsters. Many kids who

volunteer with such organizations are motivated to do so by a close friend or family member’s battle with a particular illness, but some kids even turn their own personal adversity into an opportunity to help the sick. * Visit the elderly. Kids can learn a lot from their elders, and many organizations that work with the elderly offer volunteering programs for boys and girls. Individuals in group homes or hospitals often appreciate visits from youngsters, and kids can learn valuable life lessons in return.

* Tutor fellow students. A child who is proficient in a given subject can lend a helping hand to fellow students who need some assistance. Working together to improve grades and school performance can improve

others’ sense of self-worth and instill a greater sense of accomplishment in tutors. Volunteering can foster a sense of social responsibility in youngsters, and may even help them finance their college educations.

Pros and Cons of using Internet to complete schoolwork

Inspirational classrooms... engaged students.

The classroom atmosphere familiar to today’s children is likely very different from the atmosphere their parents were accustomed to when they were students. Many of these changes can be traced to technology, which has gradually had an increasing presence in the classroom over the last several decades. But technology has not only changed the classroom experience for kids, but thanks in large part to the Internet, technology also has changed the way kids approach their schoolwork at home. Though a potentially valuable learning tool, the Internet also poses some problems for today’s students. The following are some of the advantages and disadvantages of relying on the Internet to complete schoolwork. The Pros The accessibility of the Internet can be a significant benefit to students. Students have a wealth of resources available to them online, and those resources can make it easier for kids to understand key concepts on nearly every subject. Whereas students might once have been forced to trek to the library to research a given subject, now they can do so from the comforts of home. And unlike the library, the Internet never closes, so information is at students’ disposal regardless of when they sit down to do their schoolwork. Another advantage to using the Internet to complete schoolwork is that the Internet can be an extension of the classroom beyond school walls. Educational Web sites abound on the Internet, and many of these sites are written and monitored by professional educators. These sites can be valuable resources for students who may find themselves struggling with certain lessons. Many of their questions or concerns may already be addressed, and certain topics may be more easily explained on a Web site written by a professional educator or scholar in a given field. Rather than waiting to address an issue in class, students can visit such Web sites to answers to their questions immediately. The Internet also can provide students with a forum to discuss their studies which does not always exist in the classroom. That forum may engage students and make them better students. A passionate online discussion about a reading assignment may encourage kids to approach such assignments more fervently. Though such discussions may exist in a traditional classroom atmosphere, many students might be hesitant to express themselves in

front of their classmates, feeling the anonymity of the Internet is a more inviting and less stressful forum than a classroom of their peers. The Cons As beneficial as the Internet can be to students, it’s not always what it’s cracked up to be. Much of the concern about using the Internet to complete schoolwork is the reliability of the information on the Internet. Many sites offer reliable and wellresearched information, but many do not. Students, especially younger students, may not be capable of discerning fact from fiction and will simply take the written word on the Internet as truth. That may land students in hot water or make it more difficult for them to understand their subjects. Another significant disadvantage to using the Internet to complete schoolwork is that students may be tempted to cheat. Because the Internet is so vast, students might be tempted to cut and paste answers to homework problems from the Internet or copy information from Web sites and claim it as their own, feeling as if there is no way their teachers will ever find out. Some students may not even understand that such cutting, pasting or copying is wrong. But in addition to being wrong, such behavior, whether students are caught or not, also makes it harder for students to learn the material, which will make it more difficult for them to grasp key concepts going forward.

The Internet can also be a significant distraction to students. Social networking sites can quickly distract kids from their schoolwork, costing them valuable time they should be devoting to their studies. For more than a decade, the Internet has proven a valuable resource for students across the globe. But students must recognize there are advantages and disadvantages to relying too heavily on the Internet when pursuing their studies.

LUSH, Linda Joanne

December 10, 1965 March 5, 2014 Linda passed away peacefully and surrounded by love at Palliative Care in Nanaimo after a graceful and brave battle with cancer. She is survived by her husband, David Carter; son, Jesse Bennett (Emily Kitching); parents, Jack and Joan Lush; sisters, Judy (Bo) MacNeil and Emily (Dave) Kukurudziak; nephews, Paul MacNeil (Tiffany Peters) and Bryson (Emily) MacNeil; niece, Sabina Kukurudziak; and Jesse’s father, Will (Kelly) Bennett. Linda will be deeply missed by the Carter family, as well as many friends. Linda was born in Sydney, Nova Scotia on Cape Breton Island, where she grew up and developed the strong, wonderful character traits that would guide her through the rest of her life. Eventually, her path brought her to the West Coast, and she and Jesse settled in Nanaimo. After settling on the West Coast, Linda developed a love for nature. She loved all animals, especially 106775 cats, and also enjoyed gardening. Linda shared a love for electronic dance music with her son, Jesse. From seamstress to home renovator, Linda was capable of doing anything she set her mind to. Linda will be remembered by her family and friends for being a proud and loving mother, and possessing a kind-hearted, fun-loving spirit. Our wonderful memories of Linda will live on in our hearts forever. We would like to thank all the doctors and nurses at NRGH for their compassionate care and the incredible Palliative Care Unit Team for whom we will be forever grateful. A Celebration of Life will be held at Sands Funeral Chapel, 1 Newcastle Ave, on Saturday, March 22 at 1:00 pm.

If you are at least 19 years old and do not have a high school diploma you may be eligible to be granted mature student status. It is intended to allow applicants who have not completed high school the opportunity to be considered for admission, based on the skills and experience they have acquired since leaving high school. Mature students are still required to complete course prerequisites and exact requirements will vary from college to college. At Sprott Shaw College, all students complete an entrance test as part of their admission to the college. The entrance assessment is comprised of multiple choice questions to determine an individual’s general comprehension in the areas of English and Math.

Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor? DR.

The eyes are very dependent on your general health, so as much as possible DR. PAUL GENEAU maintain good blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Nutrition is very important too. A diet rich in vegetables and fruits benefits the eyes, it may also be prudent to take an anti-oxidant supplement. Protect your eyes from ultra-violet damage from the sun by wearing protective sunglasses. Also wear eye protection appropriate to your sports, and even gardening and other work around the house. Weed-whackers are notorious for causing eye injuries. Have regular, routine eye examinations, to detect disease early and treat it more effectively. Life is worth seeing....take care of your eyes!

Car Care: Spring Maintenance

After what seemed like an endless winter, you may be planning to hit the road for a spring road trip. If, like most Canadians, you’re not driving a-showroom ride GARRY ROGUSKI - it’s time to give your car a little springtime TLC. • Check the battery: Winter is tough on all the starting components like the starter and alternator. The battery works harder and can get drained. • Check the brakes: Winter conditions and salt on the roads can lead to corrosion of brake parts. • Inspect the tires: Worn-down tires make it hard to stop, even if your brakes are in good order. Even if your tire tread are OK, make sure you keep them inflated to the correct tire pressure. You can boost your gas mileage by 3% or more. • Check the belts and hoses: Broken belts are one of motorists’ worst springtime breakdown surprises. • Check your oxygen sensor: It is important to gas mileage. The sensor helps set the fuel mix going into your engine, a faulty one can cause too much gas to be used - cutting your mileage by up to 40%. Getting a spring checkup for your car not only helps avoid a springtime breakdown, it could save you money on your monthly gas budget.

I recently sold a house and most of the proceeds from the sale went to paying debts. $15,000 went to pay a relative who did the renovations prior to the sale. GARETH SLOCOMBE, CA, CIRP The relative used it as a down payment on their house. How does this affect my now filing a consumer proposal? What is the time frame involved? In order for the trustee to recommend acceptance of the consumer proposal to creditors, he must be able to show that the consumer proposal will produce a better return to creditors than a possible bankruptcy filing. In this case, a bankruptcy filing could result in the possible recovery of some of the recent payments you made on your debts and to your relative for the renovations. Some payments made to related parties up to 12 months prior to bankruptcy can be reversed. This can be a complicated area and more details would be required regarding the timing and amounts of the payments. Nonetheless, the proposal could be recommended to creditors if the total payments to be made in the proposal will exceed all realizations in a possible bankruptcy from all sources such as surplus income and any recovery of any of those payments made out of the house sale proceeds.

Yes! We have moved as we have been DR. TONIA WINCHESTER outgrowing our cozy, little clinic. We have merged all of the Arbour Wellness Centre into a large medical practice to form a unique, ground-breaking, integrative medical clinic with an emphasis on teaching and integrative care. The clinic is called The North Nanaimo Medical Clinic beside the Target in the Nanaimo North Town Centre (formerly known as The Rutherford Mall). The access to the office is convenient, there is plenty of parking (including disability parking), increased clinic hours, and the medical doctors at this location may be taking new patients. We will still be providing all of the same services: naturopathic consults, colon hydrotherapy, Bowen therapy, acupuncture, laser treatments, food testing, massage, BodyTalk, lab tests, IVs and injectables plus our full professional dispensary. You can access us by phone or email.

Experts’ Advice

■ Mortgage Consultants

Normally one of two things: 1) Breaker fatigue, internal weakening of the circuit breaker causing it to trip before maximum load, or the breaker is doing what it was designed to do, interrupt the flow of current before it reaches a dangerous level. A 15 amp circuit is designed to allow a maximum continuous load of 1440 watts. 2) You may also have a short circuit. If the breaker trips immediately or if a flash or sparks are visible at the panel when you attempt to reset the breaker then this is the case. If you are having breaker issues, contact Mazzei Electric and we can diagnose your problem

By using self-hypnosis and creative visualization TRACY L. THOMPSON you can effectively make many positive changes in your life. There are many non-therapeutic reasons like selfimprovement, sports improvement, relaxation and stress control that can all be helped by the use of self-hypnosis. How it works is by the process of organizing your thoughts to vent, release and then relax which is different from the process of meditation which works mainly on the process of ‘clearing’ your thoughts. By giving your mind key words that you can relate to on a physical, emotional, and intellectual level you can easily help yourself to trigger a self-hypnotic state. After reaching this state you can then give yourself any positive suggestions needed within a creative visualization to help you accomplish the goals you wish to achieve. If you’d like to learn more about how to do this effectively yourself, you can register for our 4 - hour workshop on March 22, 2014 called, “How to be The BEST ME, Creative Visualization and Self-Hypnosis workshop. For more details and to register contact Tracy at 250-7394609 (only a few days left).

Is there a relationship between diabetes and hearing loss?

What counselling services do you offer to children and youth? JEFF CAMPBELL, RHIP

Almost 2.5 million Canadians live with diabetes but the link with hearing loss is not clear. A 2012 study recommends that diabetics have their hearing tested because the data showed a greater incidence of hearing loss in the diabetic population. Research continues as to whether it is the disease or the drugs that treat it that may increase the risk for hearing loss. Primary care doctors may not suggest that a person with diabetes have a hearing test because they are more concerned with urgent diabetes health issues. However, research suggests that hearing loss may increase the chance of depression and dementia, potentially adding an even greater load to the burden of diabetes. Our recommendation is that if you have diabetes you should arrange to have a hearing test by a qualified Hearing Care Professional.

I offer counselling services for children and youth ANGELA SLADE, MA, RCC (ages 10-19) for a range of issues including anxiety, depression, bullying, school stress, cutting/self-harm, eating disorders, body image, and self esteem. I also work with children and youth who are being impacted by their parent’s separation or divorce. It is very common for children and youth to use behaviours instead of words to express what is happening inside of them. Sometimes these behaviours can be very troubling to parents and can include anger outbursts, nightmares, hyperactivity, withdrawal or isolation, peer conflicts, and so on. With over a decade of experience, I work with children and their parents, helping them understand what their child is actually trying to tell them with these behaviours, and then finding a way to relieve their distress and worries through art, and talk therapy. Older children (age 14 and up) are generally in control of their own counselling process, determining what level of involvement their parents will have and what information will be shared between parents/counsellor. If your child or youth is experiencing distress, parents can call and book a free 30-minute consultation to discuss if counselling is an appropriate option for your family.

I have been told that if you get married after you do a Will, the Will is no longer valid. Is that true?

TIAH M. WORKMAN

Under the existing Wills Act, marriage does revoke a Will unless the Will was made “in contemplation of marriage”. There is new legislation called the Wills, Estates and Succession Act (“WESA”) which will be in effect March 31, 2014, and replaces most of our existing estate-planning legislation, including the Wills Act. Under the WESA, marriage will no longer revoke a Will.

I have a bad back and my health care provider says I need a really firm JOHN ROGERS mattress. The problem is I don’t like firm mattresses. The adage of “firmer is better” is accurate only to a point. When you go too firm you actually reduce support by lifting the hips and shoulders off the mattress. The problem in the industry though is that unless you’re purchasing a mattress from us it’s hard to find a flippable mattress system, so when you buy a nice soft pillow top that feels nice it wears out extremely quickly because it’s only one sided. We do a hard base mattress that can be flipped, and a nice soft separate pillow top that can be replaced. Read more at www.johnsbedrooms.com or call 1-800-663-5646

real estate What is the difference between a Mobile home and a Modular Home?

The main differences between Modular and Manufactured (aka mobile homes) are construction standards, materials and foundations. Manufactured / Mobile homes are built on a steel TIM WAIT frame and are normally placed on wood blocking, concrete pillars and sometimes on metal posts. Modular homes are built with a wood floor system and are designed to go on a either a crawlspace or a basement. Modular homes are built to Canadian Standards Association CSA-A277 (Canadian National Building Code) and are built to meet BC Building Code. These Standard Specifications can include engineered floor trusses, 2 x 6 exterior walls, 8’ & 9’ ceilings and primed and painted drywall. Building structural module homes indoors, in a controlled environment, resolves many problems typical of conventional on-site building. Both materials and schedules are less vulnerable to weather conditions. Tolerances are more exact and quality more consistent. Costs are lower and prices and completion dates more reliable, as the work of specialized trades workers is more easily scheduled and coordinated. Full testing of plumbing, wiring, heating and other systems before Modules leave the factory ensures every completed structure still meets the manufacturer’s exacting CSA approved standards. Deerwood Estates is a gated community and the Modular homes were built by Retire West, a family owned company with a solid reputation earned through 25 years of planning, development and management of Modular home communities in BC. Deerwood Estates is distinguished by quality in design and construction and is a Hallmark in tasteful landscaping and attention to detail in the development of streetscapes and generous green space.

Clippers know they were close

JR. A HOCKEY club looks back on 2013-14. BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

Nanaimo Clippers coach Mike Vandekamp wishes hockey season could start up again, right away – that’s how excited he is about this year’s group and its potential. The city’s B.C. Hockey League moved to off-season mode after being eliminated from the first round of the playoffs by the Powell River Kings last week. “The series was as close as hockey could be played, really,” said Vandekamp. “Did we make some mistakes along SEASON the Of IN REVIEW way? course we did, that’s junior hockey, but we did compete really hard throughout the entire series.” Scott Prier, team captain, said the Clippers thought they had the edge in the series after a 5-1 win in Game 3, but never managed to steal any of the games in Powell River to give themselves a chance. “You don’t want to regret ever in hockey,” Prier said. “I think the guys played hard and it just didn’t go our way.” So the Clippers basically played their best hockey in the playoffs and still got eliminated in five games. Some of that comes down to bounces and breaks,

but the coach said his young team couldn’t quite become a “welloiled machine” by the post-season. “I’ve seen that and I’ve coached that team before and I felt like we were still learning that,” Vandekamp said. “As we play better as a team, the game almost becomes simple.” A first-round playoff exit is the same outcome as a year ago, but the Clippers move forward now with a younger core. “Since Mike’s been here, thowing the Western Canada Cup in the middle of it really changed the direction of rebuilding the program,” said Dave Johnston, assistant coach. “But I think this year

was a blueprint for how we’re going to move forward.” A veteran group of Clippers took a run at the Westerns last spring and then graduated from junior hockey, so 2013-14 was a fresh sheet of ice in a lot of ways. “It was a slow start for us. At the end of the year we were winning and losing games, but the guys found their feet and they knew what they had to do,” Prier said. Luke Sandler is the only forward graduating this year, but goalie Jayson Argue and Prier and fellow D-men Shay Laurent, Colton Dahlen and Josh McArdle will be moving on.

The VIU Mariners men’s basketball team needed to add some talent, and it’s done just that. Vancouver Island University’s men’s b-ball coach Matt Kuzminski announced last week the signings of Americans Justin King and Kadeem Stewart. King, a 6-foot-4 swingman/ forward from Las Vegas, has experience playing in Canada. In 2011-12 he played at Thompson Rivers University where he led the CIS Canada West in scoring with 23.1 points per game and was third in rebounding with 10.1 per game. Kuzminski said he thinks King can be one of the best players in the Canadian Colleges’ Athletic Association. “He’s interesting,” Kuzminski said. “He can score inside, outside, he can shoot the three, he can play off the bounce. He’s a very wellrounded player who will really cause a lot of problems for people in this league.” Stewart, a 5-foot-10 point guard from Seattle, was an all-star in junior college in the U.S. and liked what he saw on a visit to VIU last month. With the Mariners losing star Brandon Jones to graduation, they needed help at the point guard position. “Kadeem’s really going to be able to provide that,” Kuzminski said. “He’s very athletic and very fast. With his speed and his quickness he’ll be very effective at penetrating and getting in the lane as well as defence in the full court.” Aside from Jones, the M’s also graduate guards Clayton Billett and Evan Verdel. The Mariners placed second at PacWest provincials earlier this month. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

EDI team cashes in

Hockey season ‘flew by’

The Environmental Dynamics Inc. team was a wire-towire winner in the cash league this year. Kalia Van Osch’s rink clinched the Christensen Collision Cash League championship on Thursday at the Nanaimo Curling Centre. The EDI team of Kalia and Marika Van Osch and Jim and Tracey Newlands was undefeated in the fall portion of the 2013-14 season and held on for the title. It came down to the last night of action, as Van Osch won $140 out of $200 worth of skins against runner-up Bob Chlan and his Mack Truck team. The final cash standings had EDI with $840 and Mack Truck at $620. AC Taxi and Mid Island Auto tied for third with $590 each after Garry Smith’s AC Taxi

“[There is] a good group of guys to build this team next year and I think they’re going to be great,” Scott Prier said. Mike Vandekamp will be off on the recruiting trail immediately, recognizing what pieces he already has in place. “The first thing to do is to assess what our holes are and how we can best fill them with new recruits and new players,” he said. “And then, I think, assess our style of play and does it suit our team, and make sure there’s a fit there.” He said talking to players in their exit meetings last week, he sensed that they are willing to work hard this off-season. The guys coming off their rookie BCHL seasons, he said, now have more confidence and experience. “The season flew by,” Vandekamp said. “A lot of our players, that was their first year and it went by and they learned lots.

Nanaimo Clippers coach Mike Vandekamp watches the play unfold during a B.C. Hockey League game at Frank Crane Arena earlier this winter.

Now we’ve got to keep rolling.” The Clippers will head into 2014-15 with not only a strong core of players, but also a greater fan base. A free-admission-for-kids promotion was highly successful in boosting attendance at home games at Frank Crane Arena. It helped that there were a lot of one-goal games and overtime games this year, and that the Clippers were a workman-

like team more often than not. “We certainly found a buzz in the building again, and we’re hoping that Nanaimo will rally around this group of kids that we have,” Vandekamp said. “We have a real fun core here coming back and they really, truly are good kids. “If we can continue to build and grow, the people will hopefully keep coming out.” sports@nanaimobulletin.com

College baseball team plays well into the wee hours The VIBI Mariners are willing to play whenever they can. Nanaimo’s college baseball team proved that last week in Ontario, Ore., as it played an all-nighter against Southwest Oregon College on March 9. First pitch came at 1:30 a.m.

“College baseball’s about being flexible and being ready to go,” said Jordan Blundell, manager of Vancouver Island Baseball Institute. “We said if the umpires are willing to do it, we’re willing to do it. Let’s do it.”

The team had travelled a long way to play ball, so with bad weather forecast for the morning, the M’s decided to make sure they got their innings in. The Mariners started the game energetically, but tired in their fourth game of the day and

eventually lost 6-5. “You’re definitely tired and it gets to be a grind, but that’s why we play, right? We love it,” said Dallas Monk, VIBI infielder. Blundell said the road trip showed his team’s toughness and helped with team building.

“It’s cool. It’s a life story, for sure,” the manager said. “That’s what makes college baseball college baseball.” For more on the VIBI Mariners, please pick up the next issue of the News Bulletin. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Bill McWhinnie was selected the Canadian Colleges’ Athletic Association Coach of the Year last week. “The team’s had a great year,” said Mireille Beland, CCAA women’s basketball convenor, in a press release. “They improved their record, made solid performances and had a winning record in their league.” Vancouver Island University’s women’s hoops team had a 20-1 record in the PacWest regular season and placed third at provincials.

Nanaimo News Bulletin 35

The BC Government is proposing to ofﬂoad the province’s world-class recycling programs, run by local municipalities, to an association led by big multi-national corporations. The idea is that we’ll get a better, more efﬁcient program that costs taxpayers less.

Currently, BC homeowners only pay, on average, $35 a year for curbside recycling. Under the proposed regime, you’ll pay more. Every time you bring home a pizza, buy toilet paper,

Unfortunately, what we’ll really end up with is anyone’s guess.

How much more? Well, nobody’s saying.

The association isn’t guaranteeing that we’ll get a better program, or even one as good as the current Blue Box program already in place. Since the association is led by big businesses outside of BC, many of whom are not even headquartered in Canada, one could presume that proﬁts will come before environmental stewardship. They usually do. They also won’t guarantee that there won’t be any job cuts here in BC.

Here’s the only thing anyone does know: we already have a Blue Box program that works, is efficient, managed locally and puts the BC environment first. So why is the BC government flipping a coin, bringing in a questionable recycling program that some of our local elected officials are already calling a “scam?”

And how is this supposed to make things better for BC?

or pretty much anything else that comes in a package, businesses will be passing their increased costs on to you.

It’s time to contact Premier Clark and ask her.

What’s going on here?
