First Nation publishes financial statements under new legislation BY KARL YU THE NEWS BULLETIN

Junhao Chen, representative for SSS Manhao International Tourism Group, centre, and Allan Beron, general contractor for hotel construction, chat with guests prior to a ribbon-cutting ceremony to announce construction of the new Vancouver Island Conference Centre hotel Wednesday.

only huge for the hotel, it’s going to be huge for the conference centre and what’s good for both of them is excellent for the City of Nanaimo,” he said. SSS Manhao hotel representative Junhao Chen said, via a translator, his company wants to bring more guests to the city, which he said is paradise to Chinese people. Construction is expected to be complete by 2016 and the hotel operational a year later. The Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce and the Suzhou Commercial Association of Canada also took part in a signing event on Wednesday to formally establish a new relationship between the two groups.

Coun. Eric Wesley topped the Snuneymuxw First Nation band council with compensation totalling $314,801 for the year ended March 31, according to recently released financial statements. Douglas White III, lawyer and former chief, received $108,022, while incumbent Chief John Wesley, who was elected in December, received about $14,400 in his time as chief and $11,825 in his previous role as councillor. According to a schedule of council remuneration and expenses, $307,201 of the money Eric Wesley received was for construction-related services, while $19,524 paid to White was for legal services. Coun. Paul Wyse-Seward was also paid for construction-related services to the tune of $2,800. White’s expenses totalled $24,767 while Chief Wesley’s combined expenses totalled $4,479. The band recently broke ground on construction for a community building and gymnasium. Eric Wesley could not be reached for comment and White and the First Nation’s administration did not return calls by press time. As part of the First Nations Financial Transparency Act, which became law in March 2013, First Nations must provide financial information on an annual basis. Based on the financial statements, there is a wide range in band council compensation across the country. The Stz’uminus First Nation, with a comparable population base, remunerated its chief John Elliott $87,650, while Coun. Timothy Harris received the most compensation with $97,627. Elliott and Harris’s expenses totalled $16,518 and $19,205 respectively. Full financial reports can be found on the federal department of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development’s website.

CHRIS BUSH THE NEWS BULLETIN

Ribbon cutting signals construction phase

GROUND-BREAKING unlikely to start before October.

BY TAMARA CUNNINGHAM THE NEWS BULLETIN

SSS Manhao has announced the start of construction for a multimilliondollar conference centre hotel. Nanaimo dignitaries and the SSS Manhao International Tourism Group held an official ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday on the site of a future 21-storey hotel to mark the start of the construction phase. The project is expected to get underway this October and be in operation by 2017,

although the company is still in the process of securing a building permit. Mayor John Ruttan said the recent announcement is “exciting.” The Gordon Street lot has sat empty for nearly a decade after failed attempts to build a hotel by Triarc and Millennium developments. Now SSS Manhao, a B.C. affiliate of a major Chinese tourism company, has plans to create a $50-million hotel, which designs show will have connecting tunnels to Piper Park and the conference centre, a swimming pool and 14 commercial units. It’s also expected to draw 70,000 Chinese tourists each year. “It looks like it’s going to finally work out,” Ruttan

said. “It’s about five years late, but I am still so excited because this is one of the primary things that I always felt was an important goal for me and for the city to have.” City officials have believed that quality hotel rooms are key to the Vancouver Island Conference Centre meeting its potential and relying less on taxpayer subsidies. This year, conference centre operators predict they will be over budget by $119,000, due to lower than expected revenues last spring and fewer bookings. According to Ruttan, SSS Manhao has indicated it wants the conference centre and conferences to be its primary market. “This is going to be not

Park plan offers upgrade options

maffEo SuTToN improvements to go before city council.

By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN

Nanaimo residents could soon weigh in on a new look for the city’s waterfront park. The City of Nanaimo anticipates an updated Maffeo Sutton Park improvement plan could be ready for public input as early as September. While no details of the plan have been released, the city’s parks and open space planner Kirsty MacDonald said it focuses on physical changes like improvements to the

lagoon, playground and existing amenities with limited lifespans. Residents could also see concepts for Georgia Park, considered one of the city’s original waterfront parks and neighbour to a potential Hilton hotel. The green space was acquired by the city in 1940 and 1948 – more than two decades before Maffeo Sutton was created – and has never seen a full improvement, according to MacDonald. Plans shown at a Hilton hotel open house revealed there could be an artificial beach, kayak launch and new walkway but MacDonald says it’s only one concept and ideas will be tested as part of the improvement plan. The

changes also hinge on what happens with the hotel, which is currently in a rezoning process. “We are waiting to see what the context is because whatever we do needs to blend and be beneficial for the public as well as the development, whatever that becomes,” she said. The city has been working on updating its park improvement plan since 2011 when new land was added to the park. The 0.9 hectare property, on the former Civic Arena site, had previously been part of the city’s incentive package for developers of a conference centre hotel.

Police seek tips on attempted abduction suspect Police are still following up on tips from the public they hope will help close the case on an abduction attempt last week. The incident happened Thursday at about 7 p.m. when a woman, 44, stopped her older model Ford Escort at a red light at Brechin Road and the old Island Highway. A late-1990s Ford F-150 pulled up beside her and its driver yelled at her. The woman ignored him, but the truck followed her with its horn blowing and lights flashing. Thinking there could be a problem with her car, the woman pulled into the slow

lane just north of Rock City Plaza. The man pulled his truck in front of her to force her to stop. The suspect walked up to her car and told her he wanted to take her for coffee. She ignored him, but when she started rolling up her window he grabbed her arm and tried to pull her out of the car. She sped off, racing north. The truck did not appear to follow her and she called 911 when she got home. The suspect is Caucasian, in his 40s, described as goodlooking with an athletic build, pale complexion, light-colour eyes, with a cleft in his chin,

a white scar-like mark on the bridge of his nose and clean shaven. He has salt-and-pepper hair, military-style haircut, and a high-pitched voice like a teenager’s. He wore a T-shirt bearing a dragon symbol and a watch with a metal band on his left wrist. Anyone with information about the incident or suspect, please contact Const. Sean Zeigler at 250-754-2345, Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477 or online at www. nanaimocrimestoppers.com. For an artist’s sketch of the suspect, please visit www. nanaimobulletin.com.

Grant supports fish habitat By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN

Nanaimo Fish and Game Protective Association can start planning its next round of Haslam Creek restoration, thanks in part to a Pacific Salmon Foundation grant. The $8,500 grant, announced in July, is part of a $27,000 habitat assessment to determine the next step in ongoing efforts over the past several years to repair erosion to the banks and bed of the creek. The association has been commissioning habitat assessments and carrying out work to stop erosion in the creek with money raised by the club and funding from the foundation, Nanaimo Airport Commission and other groups. Dave Clough, registered professional biologist, said the creek is broken up into one-kilometre sections that are individually assessed to determine the needed restoration methods. His group is working

on an area from the Nanaimo River up to the Island Highway. “That’s probably four kilometres of fish habitat right there…” Clough said. “This is the spot where they’re going to go first to live, to spawn, to eat and everything else that they would do coming up from the Nanaimo River.” The roots of old growth trees growing on stream banks act to hold and harden the soil and slow or

Volunteers needed for annual agricultural fair By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN

With the start of this year’s Vancouver Island Exhibition just over a week away, event organizers are shouting out for more volunteers. Just how short handed the exhibition is isn’t yet clear, but Jessie Chase, kids’ zone director, said dozens more volunteers

will likely needed to fill the normal complement of 250 bodies who help put the festival on each year by the time the exhibition starts Aug. 15. “We are still looking for volunteers for all areas,” Chase said. She estimates that so far anywhere from 175 to 200 people have signed up to help out and there are no particular skill sets event

organizers are looking for other than general people skills and a willingness to do just about anything. “Everything from garbage collecting to helping with home arts to helping in the kids’ zone,” Chase said. One group that has already committed is Loaves and Fishes Community Food Bank. Food bank staff and volunteers will be out handling the

toonie parking by collecting the fee from drivers as they come into Beban Park and ensuring everyone has places to park. “It’s pay parking of just $2, but they’re also asking if you could donate cash or a food item,” Chase said. To volunteer, please call Michelle Walsh at 250-6186412 or stop by the VIEX office at Beban Park. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

midwives struggle to meet demand for birth services

SErvED NoTiCE to terminate contract with province.

By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN

Expectant mothers are being turned away by Nanaimo midwives, who say they can’t meet demand for deliveries. “We run at full capacity and we turn down a lot of women in a month…” said Amanda Emsley, a midwife with Sunflower Midwife Services. “It’s hard for us because we believe in choice and now women don’t have the choice because there’s just not enough of us.” Nanaimo’s two midwife practices report being challenged to meet demand, an issue they say is a result of not enough midwives and limited hospital privileges. It’s one of the reasons they are among the province’s 220 registered midwives serving notice to the province they will terminate their contract this October and potentially seek job action if government can’t reach an agreement with the Midwives Association of B.C. Ganga Jolicoeur, executive director of the association,

says it was time to send a message. The organization is seeking a $3-million annual investment over five years, which would go toward support programs and a three-per cent annual wage hike meant to retain and attract B.C. midwives. It hopes to eventually see midwives assist in 35 per cent of births by 2020, up from about 18 per cent today. The association believes midwives can help bridge a maternity care gap anticipated with a forecasted increase in births and decline of family doctors practising obstetrics. It also points to growing demand for midwifery. B.C. Vital Statistics show midwife-assisted births rose 81 per cent between 2007 and 2011. It jumped again from 4,924 assisted births in 2011 to 7,360 in 2012-13. Areas like Nanaimo have seen more demand than supply, according to Jolicoeur, who says a key part of the proposal is increasing the number of B.C. midwives by 16 annually over the next five years. The B.C. Ministry of Heath, however, told the News Bulletin in an e-mail that the proposals to date far exceed the mandate. It’s also “disappointed” by the notice of agreement termination, but

still hopeful it can come to an agreement. For Nanaimo midwife Sandy Pullin, recent action taken by the association isn’t about trying to get more, it’s about being heard and figuring out supports to make midwifery something people can do without burnout. She can recall one day in the past month that she’s hasn’t practised midwifery. She’s on call around the clock and working at capacity. Every month she’s turning people away, she said, adding there’s room for at least two more midwives. There are currently four midwives in Nanaimo and four who serve the city from outlying areas. Emsley believes a solution could be more hospital privileges – only a certain number is given out. “That’s where the bottleneck really is,” she said. “We are not just a niche market on the side, we are something becoming a lot more mainstream and popular and times are going to have to adjust to that ... including privileges.” B.C. midwives will consider job action this fall, but are not expected to stop deliveries.

Quality Foods and Nored Developments Teamed up for $50,000 Donation to BC Games Quality Foods and Nored Developments put their stamp on the Games this summer, stepping up with a $50,000 donation that went directly towards feeding all of the athletes competing at the four-day multi-sport event. “Quality Foods has a long-time standing reputation of community involvement, and with an event of this magnitude coming to Nanaimo, we definitely wanted to find a way to get involved and give back in a big way,” said Adam Wynans, Manager at Quality Foods. “The BC Games are an important step in the development of B.C.’s athletes. It provides a platform for athletes to perform against each other, while having some fun with their competitors and families,” said the team from Nored Developments. ”The economic impact on the community was substantial and Nanaimo businesses benefited from that.” The Games featured approximately 3,900 athletes, coaches and officials from across the province, competing at 19 different venues. It is estimated that the Games contributed $2.6 million to the local economy. Jeff Lott, Nanaimo Games President, stated “We recognize that these Games would not be possible without the support of our community leaders and corporate sponsors. We thank them for coming forward to help feed and fuel our athletes, which is such an integral part of these Games.”

Hotel progress has city hopeful Check-in time is still a ways away, but the city’s downtown hotel could be closer to breaking ground. SSS Manhao, the tourism group building the conference centre hotel, held a signing event with the Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce yesterday. Notably, it wasn’t a shovels-in-theground photo op – construction hasn’t started, the timeline apparently pushed back by bylaw minutiae – but it’s the closest we’ve come to putting a hotel on that site. This week’s signing event indicates, at least, that the parties continue to co-operate and plan to see this project through. These gestures are appreciated. Considering the Millennium hotel tease last decade, taxpayers of Nanaimo can be forgiven for being highmaintenance and needing this sort of reassurance from time to time. Obviously the City of Nanaimo has staked a lot on this conference centre hotel – it was imagined as a pillar of downtown revitalization, and it still can be. The Vancouver Island Conference Centre has been mostly just a status symbol, too often empty, and a hotel should help. The Harbour City has much to recommend it as a conference destination, and we hope that some of the lack of activity on that front has honestly come down to concerns over hotel capacity. SSS Manhao has made lofty promises about attracting tourists, and whether it’s vacationers or conference-goers coming here, a more bustling downtown is a win for Nanaimo. Aside from tourism figures and economic impact, this hotel has potential to improve our city’s look and feel, allure, reputation and status. It’s great the hotel deal is signed, and we’re anxious for ground-breaking. Because each storey that is constructed, we hope, can bring our downtown closer to where we would like it to be.

changed as B.C. and other provinces strive to develop their craft beer and spirits industry, trying to emulate the tourism benefits that have come from an expanding wine industry. One area where the B.C. government has screwed up is its minimum pricing rules, introduced along with the overdue move to allow ‘happy hour’ discounts in pubs. The minimum price of 25 cents an ounce for beer, 60 cents an ounce for wine and $3 an ounce for hard liquor was an effort to balance business-friendly policy with legitimate public health concern about over-consumption. But the minimum beer price prompted protests from a few watering holes that had been selling pints or jugs of beer for slightly less, and the government over-reacted with an illthought-out cut in the minimum price to 20 cents an ounce – for beer in jugs only. The pub industry was not impressed with this bit of kneejerk populism. Encouraging beer jug sales makes it difficult to see if someone at a table of revelers is being over-served, drinking most of the jug himself. u Tom Fletcher is a columnist and legislative reporter for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Tax policy curtails freedom in Canada To the Editor,

It’s probably good to make the chiefs declare their incomes. A publicized few get large salaries, but the vast majority, it turns out, are paid less than a Nanaimo city councillor. The intention of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation was First Nations should be taxed like the rest of us. Except they are. Native Canadians who work for government or industry pay the same income tax as anyone

else. Those living off reserve pay the same property taxes. In spite of governments having privatized huge areas of the commons in their 200-year drive to gain control of First Nations lands and resources, native people don’t yet have to pay property taxes on reserve lands, or for band work. This is a right they’ve fought hard for over the years. Those private lands have then ended up in the hands of banks

and corporations. Instead of rewarding banks and corporations for keeping Canadians poor, we should have taxation that allows all Canadians more freedom. Making First Nations suffer the same inequalities as the rest of us is not progress. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation has it exactly backwards.

Cutbacks causing harm to education system ing their teaching degrees; they did this to become educators of our children, not babysitters. Many of us on this Island are seniors and tend to remember our experiences of school life. Things have changed drastically. The education system of today is a mess, mainly through cutbacks. Our teachers take the brunt of it.

To the Editor,

Re: Teachers aren’t striking because of salary demands, Letters, July 3. Many of us are guilty of the ‘know-it-all’ syndrome. We read something in the paper, immediately get on our high horses and spout our views on that subject to anyone who has ears. Unfortunately these views usually come from ignorance. Top of the list at the moment seems to be the fact that school teachers have withdrawn their labour. I have heard views that they should be forced back to work. When asked how much knowledge they had based their views on, the reply was, “I read it in the paper,” or “think about the single parent who has to scramble for help while they have to go to work.” Consider broadening your knowledge by talking to teachers face to face. They are easily accessible. Talk to all ages, you will find them very civil and willing to share the reasons they regrettably have

The idea of giving out $40 a day if the teachers and government can’t reach an agreement is about as brilliant as a two-watt bulb. I suggest instead, the following: gather up Premier Christy Clark and Education Minister Peter Fassbender, along with the bargaining committees of the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. Take them to some isolated spot, lock them all together in one room with no cell phones, radio, TV, newspapers, computers, visitors or air conditioning. Provide

only adequate bread and water at meal times. Perhaps a little discomfort might help them focus on reaching an agreement that benefits students.

Colliery dam decisions guided by fable, not fact To the Editor,

Re: Dams fix a choice between risk and safety, Letters, July 31. City staff feverishly pushed the idea of an unavoidable catastrophe and flood danger around the Colliery dams. They wasted around a million dollars on this issue and are still beating this dead horse. As confirmed by now, they used unsubstantiated data to blow up flood danger and justify lakes removal. City management gave a good fight trying to keep afloat a quack fable about some epic flood or earthquake. Flattened by the facts, they seem to have somewhat backed down though still pushing hard to spend millions on same dubious project. The question remains what and who is directing decisions made by current city staff in regards to this. We should learn the identity of those who have approved the original project, and why they have decided to stick with this absurdity. Could anyone trust their future recommendation? Should someone look into how they run city business? Is this just a sole case of gross negligence and incompetence or there are some hidden interests? Stop this nonsense.

Bird group spreads awareness

fEathErS focuSEd on pet parrots. By Karl yu The News BulleTiN

A non-profit parrot lovers group is looking to raise awareness about the birds while increasing its membership. On top of educating, Friends for Ethical Avian Treatment, finding Homes, sharing Education, Resources and Support (FEATHERS), formed 10 years ago, also seeks to care for and find homes for displaced parrots, according to Nanaimo-area resident Laurie Rex, pres-

Proposed “BUSINESS LICENCE AMENDMENT BYLAW 2014 NO. 5351.11” During its Meeting on Monday, 2014-JUL-21, Nanaimo City Council gave 1st, 2nd and 3rd reading to “BUSINESS LICENCE AMENDMENT BYLAW 2014 NO. 5351.11”. The proposed bylaw, if adopted, will amend “BUSINESS LICENCE BYLAW 1998 NO. 5351” by repealing “BUSINESS LICENCE AMENDMENT BYLAW 2004 NO. 5713” in its entirety and deleting Section 8.11.2 from “BUSINESS LICENCE BYLAW 1998 NO. 5351”, therefore, as follows: 8.11.2

www.nanaimobulletin.com

(Bylaw 5713) No business licenced under the Liquor Control and Licencing Act of British Columbia shall offer or sell: (a) any standard serving of liquor for less than $3.00, including all applicable taxes. For greater certainty a standard serving of liquor means: • Hi-balls - 1 ounce Spirits • Wine - 6 ounce • Bottled Beer containing more than 1.5% alcohol by volume • Draft Beer - 18 ounce serving • Bottled Refreshment Beverages containing more than 1.5% alcohol by volume, including Cider and Coolers; (b) hi-balls, other than a standard serving, except where at least $3.00 for the first ounce of spirits plus $2.00 for each additional ounce of spirits, or portion thereof, is charged; (c) draft beer, other than a standard serving, except where in a larger or smaller serving, an increase or decrease in price is charged in the same proportion as the increase or decrease over a standard serving of draft beer.

The proposed bylaw is scheduled to proceed to Council for their consideration at their Regular Meeting to be held at the Shaw Auditorium (Council Chambers) at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre on Monday, 2014-AUG-11, at 7:00 p.m. Delegations requesting permission to speak to “BUSINESS LICENCE AMENDMENT BYLAW 2014 NO. 5351.11” at the 2014-AUG-11 Council Meeting are required to submit a written request to the Legislative Services Department. Applications to appear as a Delegation can be found on the City’s website at www.nanaimo.ca .

ident of the group. It goes by the “don’t shop, adopt” philosophy. “Originally, I had a couple of cockatoos of my own and people started giving them to me and I realized there was no way I could never meet the need my own self in my own home, so we formed FEATHERS to teach people about how to care for these

birds and to potentially develop new homes for birds to go to,” said Rex. The group charges members a fee of $20 but does not charge people who adopt or relinquish birds. There are prerequisites for those wanting to adopt, including the attendance of at least three group functions and the signing of an agree-

ment, in which the adopter promises to provide proper care. Besides ensuring the birds are properly fed, prospective owners must take into consideration other things about caring for birds – they’re messy, noisy and can be financially draining. Owners could be dropping $300 the minute they walk in the door of a specialized veterinarian, according to the president. Despite the care and attention required, it can be gratifying, said member Diana Slater. “They’re a lot of fun to be around,” Slater said. “I have a passion for it now and they add a dimension to your life that enhances it beyond words but you have to have a tolerance for noise and mess.” The group meets once a month at St. Anne St. Edmund Anglican Church in Parksville.

Dancer follows new set of dreams I CHarlene HarT part of symphony by the sea.

By RoseMaRy PhilliPs

rom national television to establishing her own dance studio, Charlene Hart has realized her dreams. But now the former So You Think You Can Dance Canada contestant has a few new dreams. “Now my dream is to see my dance studio continue and grow as I watch young dancers move on to careers of their own,” Hart said. Meanwhile, another part of Charlene’s dream has been to continue choreographing and performing. On Saturday (Aug. 9) at Maffeo Sutton Park, she will be dancing in the Symphony by the Sea performance. The event will also feature violinist Calvin Dyck, Ken Lavigne, Eric Harper, members of the Vancouver Island Symphony and Abbotsford Virtuosi. “Calvin Dyck contacted me and asked if I could create a dance to Sweet Remembrance of You by William Joseph,” Hart said. “Calvin sent me the song and I instantly connected to it; I could visualize and feel the dance.” The song is fully orchestrated, filled with beauty, grace and emotion and is ideal for Hart. “I’m mixing two styles, contemporary with some lyrical dance, because it is such a fluid piece of music,” Hart said. “There’s nothing better than dancing with live musicians, and I just love

“I had been living in New York after spending four years travelling the world performing on cruise ships. I auditioned for [So You Think You Can Dance] and went to Toronto to do the show.” “After reaching the finals I was asked to not take any dance contracts or travel for a

while in case the top 10 contenders were to tour across Canada.” The show’s request allowed her the opportunity to return home. “While I waited I was able to fill my time with another passion of mine – teaching,” Hart said. The TV show didn’t get funding for the tour that year, so she stayed in Abbotsford and opened up Absolute Dance Academy and started performing. “Dance is a tough industry,” she said. “I want to support and encourage the young dancers to believe they can make a career, to inspire them to follow their dreams. It takes hard work and determination, but if you really want it, you can get there.” Hart said that as a dancer it is important to consistantly learn and grow throughout your career. “As a dancer you want to keep adding to your repertoire,” she said. “In New York I fell in love with ballroom and Latin dance, so I would like to get more involved with that.” For Symphony by the Sea, Hart will be demonstrating that very thing – being the best you can be. “My wish is for everyone to come to this live, true and artistic concert, sit back and relax, feel the music and performances, and enjoy the evening as much as we will enjoy performing,” she said. Hart performs at 6 p.m. The event is free. For more information please visit www.vancouverislandsymphony.com. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Cemetery tours unearth stories behind those interred in graveyard By Nicholas Pescod The News BulleTiN

The Harbour City is home to Pioneer Cemetery, British Columbia’s third-oldest cemetery and the final resting place more than 150 people. For a limited time this summer, the Nanaimo Museum is offering people a unique guided tour of the cemetery, which is located on the corner of Comox Road and Wallace Street. Museum interpretation curator, Aimee Greenaway, said the cemetery is the final resting place of an American Civil War veteran, Crimean War veteran and many other interesting people. “I think it is one of the more interesting parts of Nanaimo,” Greenaway said. “The cemetery is this little hidden piece of downtown that has all these stories tucked away in it.” One of those stories is of Samuel Sargent, who died in Nanaimo as a result of injuries suffered during the Crimean War in Russia. “He served in the British Royal Navy in the Pacific,” Greenaway said. “He was injured in the battle and the ship [he was on] came to Esquimalt because it was part of the Royal Navy. They were refueling and getting supplies.” Eventually the ship made its way to Nanaimo to collect coal. That’s when things took a turn for the worse for Sargent. “His head injury was getting worse and worse and by the time they got to Nanaimo, he had passed away,” Greenaway said. “So it was really just kind of a coincidence that he ended up in this area.” Sargent is believed to be the only Crimean War war veteran buried in North America. His story is just one of many that will be told during the 45-minute tour through the cemetery, which can be a bit tricky to notice. “I think a lot of people drive by it and think it is a greenspace,” Greenaway said. “It has got these really nice retaining walls, but you actually have to go up close to see that there are cemetery markers.” The Pioneer Cemetery tours are scheduled for Aug. 14 and Aug. 28 at 1:30 p.m. The tour costs $10.

bourliness of all people,” Columbian Centre member Tona Thickett said. “It’s for us to thank the community for having us in the neighbourhood for the last six years.” The event, which also includes a bouncy castle, pony rides and a dunk tank, begins at 10 a.m. in front of Bailey Studio and is also a fundraiser for the Columbian Centre’s newest project. “We’ve been on Rosstown Road for the last 37 years,” she said. “Basically we have five houses that do housing for adults with psychiatric disabilities. We’re in the process of developing a 40-unit apartment complex across from the hospital that’s in con-

nection with Nanaimo Affordable Housing and the Haven Society. It’s to help people reintegrate into the community.” Singer/songwriter Konsorado released her first record, Skylines, in 2002, which features a range of instruments such as the banjo and the guitar. Her most recent album, Ten O’Clock Table, was released in 2006. Emily Celeste, Merisa Donoghue and Les Tibbo make up the Nanaimo-based band Trinitude, which frequently performs across Vancouver Island.

An Escalade worth the wait Cadillac recently held the introduction of its all-new Escalade in the heart of Toronto, specifically the heart of Yorkville. This upscale slice of Toronto real estate is home to spendy shops, exclusive restaurants and luxurious hotels. This is a place to be seen or be seen in a vehicle that projects the image one wants to portray. Media guests for the Escalade launch stayed at Toronto’s very first boutique hotel, The Hazelton.

Fighting forest fires requires a heavy-duty ride Forest fire conditions in this province are at an alltime high and the wood is very dry. The men and women that fight these fires every year rely on their vehicles to take them to the battlefield. Remote back roads and sometimes the forest floor are the roads on which they must travel. There is a variety of vehicles in the firefighter fleet

but lately they have been using the Ford Super Duty as the prime support vehicle. The new 2015 version is powerful enough to haul heavy trailers and large enough to double as a mobile office. The 6.7-litre power stroke turbo diesel V8, with higher power ratings for 2015, coupled with a 6R140 heavy duty Torqshift six-speed automatic

Yet another version of the popular Mini is out and selling for around $120. What? – Well, it is a Lego brick replica of the original Cooper Mk VII, produced between August 1997 and July 1998. That was the last generation of the original very mini-Mini, which was soon replaced by the Mini on steroids that BMW now produces very profitably. Interestingly, the price tag for the beautifully crafted toy is about the same as I paid for my used 1966 Mini Countryman Mark II back in 1974. The Lego version bears many authentic details, from the classic green and white color scheme with white wing mirrors and racing stripes. When I got mine, it had authentic woodworm in the bits that made it look like a mini Brit version of the Woodies that were so popular on this side of the Atlantic at the time. Dad suggested we strip out the wood but the garage guy thought the whole darn thing might fall apart if we did. My dad, as a model plane painter of some repute, bought a few cans of paint and carefully painted the wood black. Then he hand painted the rest of the body blue. Couldn’t see a brush stroke when he had finished. The model has doors, hood and trunk that open – more than you could say for mine on many occasions. Sporty fog lights are featured as well as a detailed four-cylinder engine – transversely mounted, of course. There’s also separate spare tire compartment. Had one of those to house a spare that was as bald as I am now. You can even remove the roof to access a tan colored interior with patterned seats, veneer-style dashboard, turning steering wheel, and moving gearshift and handbrake. This Cooper model measures more than 11cm in height, stretches 25cm in length and is about 14cm wide. Dimensionally it doesn’t sound much smaller that my real live, constantly stalling machine.

transmission delivers improved torque, horsepower and fuel economy. The engine pumps out a whopping 440 horsepower at 2,800 rpm. It has lots of get up and go. Ease your way into the throttle and before you know it, you are at highway speeds. Power and acceleration are smooth and effortless. When properly equipped, the Super Duty

Nanaimo hikers are mounting a fundraising effort to help educate girls in developing nations. The team Educated Women for Educating Girls is planning a four-day trek at Strathcona Provincial Park’s Auger Point Traverse this month, to help pay for scholarships for girls in developing countries. This is the second time the group has climbed for the cause, which sees dollars distributed through Plan Canada and the not-forprofit’s Because I am a Girl campaign. In 2013, the team hiked Mt. Albert Edward, generating $10,655. This year, it’s looking to donate $12,000. Mary Thiess, who will go on the four-day hike, said she joined the effort because it seemed like a good it’s sort of a cause and a reason to work together. big payback “I think it’s been when you proven that if women educated ... they invest a little. are turn around and invest their skills back in their community and their families,” Thiess said. “It’s sort of a big payback when you invest a little.” Plan Canada’s Because I am a Girl initiative is a global campaign to promote girls’ rights and equality through projects tied into education, health, water and sanitation. Scholarships provide girls with schooling, uniform and materials for a year, as well as the chance to break out of a cycle of poverty, according to Sarah Muir, community engagement specialist for Plan Canada, who said for every year a girl stays in school her income rises by 15 per cent. Nanaimo’s Educated Women for Educated Girls will hike Aug. 21-24. Every dollar they raise will be tripled by Plan Canada’s partners. For more, please visit www.plancanada. ca/educatedwomen.

Beefs & bouquets BOUQUET To the bus driver who stopped short of the bus stop to pick up an elderly lady who was walking fast to get to the bus stop. BEEF To the B.C. education system that ignores the three Rs. They won’t teach children arithmetic, as they can’t add or do the multiplication table by Grade 3. Gone is cursive writing and spelling. Their ignorance is noted when they go abroad, or to another province or state that knows children should be able to live without computerized mechanisms. BOUQUET To the beefer concerned about people without disabilities who use handicap bathrooms. Not all those people are lazy/selfish. Some transgender people feel unsafe using gendered bathrooms and some people have invisible disabilities. We need more gender-neutral bathrooms. BEEF To the person submitting beefs about canned spaghetti, hamburgers and candy machines, ending each beef with “young people will never know.” Without spaghetti, hamburgers and candy, guess what young people will also never know? Obesity, high cholesterol and diabetes. BOUQUET To staff at Nanaimo Animal Control for their polite and prompt assistance in removing animal roadkill. BEEF To a person beefing about a lack of an American flag. Those flags are sponsored by Nanaimo International Folk Festival – you have to be a participating member in order to have your country represented. Americans chose not to join. There is no free ride for anyone. BOUQUET To Nanaimo works department. In 10 years, I have hardly seen them in my area. But when I phoned and said there were dead limbs on a tree leaning over my road, they came within two days. BEEF To city hall for still not naming the individuals who collected $7-9 million on the Linley land sale. Is this a cover-up?

BOUQUET To my boyfriend for being such a nice guy, caring about other people and being my ‘cool factor.’ When you rode down Island in the pouring rain from my Irish family gathering in Campbell River and pulled up behind me on the highway my heart sang and the joy I got when I saw your face reminded me of why I love you so much.

BOUQUET To Lloyd. Thank you for the random act of kindness at New York Style Pizza. That will be passed on to others for sure.

BEEF To the person in the older grey Mustang, speeding, almost crashing and then doing a 360 spin-out on Oliver Road. Five seconds earlier I would have been in that intersection. Learn how to drive responsibly or get off the road.

BOUQUET To Fairway Market for providing lunches and snacks to the young participants of the Nanaimo Science and Sustainability Society science camps. What a generous community partnership.

BOUQUET To Graham at Newcastle Nissan for going above and beyond, helping me during a malfunction with my car’s keyless entry system. BEEF To the transit drivers and their management. What gives you the right to put the public in danger? Speeding is illegal yet you continue to do it all over the city, however you deem it necessary to have your drivers’ safety concerns plastered all over the news.

BEEF To the people who drag their on-leash dogs along on their jogs, on baking hot asphalt in our recent hot temperatures. You might want to ‘feel the burn’ but do you think your dog does?

BEEF To the restaurant owners who wrote bad reviews about another establishment. Obviously the owner is doing something right and I think their comments may be born of professional jealousy. BOUQUET To a pickup truck driver – unknown to us – who paid for a lunch at Wallace Street Tim Horton’s for my wife and I. A contagious random act of kindness.

BOUQUET To the the lovely gentleman who waited for me at Westwood Lake parking lot so he could personally return my lost car keys. Your kindness is greatly appreciated. BEEF They may have kept the candy machines at the aquatic centres if parents taught their children how to clean up after themselves. BOUQUET To our firefighters, police officers, nurses, doctors, paramedics, military, care aids, support workers and many others who help people in times of need. The words ‘thank you’ are simply not enough. Your jobs are inspiring and you often do not get enough appreciation for what you are willing to do to help.

Must bring coupon to the pharmacy

BOUQUET To Brad and Sharlene for hosting a fantastic party, with delicious food and lots of dancing, which was possible thanks to Maxwell Smart. BEEF To the owner of the restaurant downtown. Nine of us went there for lunch a few days ago and you very obviously did not want us there and tried to direct us elsewhere. Did the presence of our six developmentally disabled individuals offend your sensibilities? BOUQUET To Val in the X-ray department of Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. Thank you for holding the hand of a grown woman when the ‘slight cramping’ was almost too much to bear. Your attentive kindness was above and beyond your job description. BEEF To the city for not only cutting back the blackberry patch on Tenth Street, but also the use of herbicides. This is a food source for many creatures including humans. You wreck the blackberries patch while totally ignoring the Scotch broom across the road. BOUQUET To Wheatcroft Construction, which renovated our kitchen. The work was simply outstanding and every little detail was completed. Long after we had paid the full amount a couple of minor items were taken care of immediately. Anyone wanting a great contractor, this is your guy. BEEF It’s so generous of the thrift store to give out a five-per-cent-off sticker in return for filling its huge new donation bag. Just think of how much money it will make on all your donated stuff.

DEATHS

Anton “Tony” Zerr

It is with extraordinary sadness that our family announces the sudden passing of our patriarch, Anton Francis Zerr on July 19, 2014 at the age of 81. Tony was predeceased by his son, Rudy in 2003 at the age of 32. Tony is survived by his wife, Judith; his daughter, Kathryn (Richard Robinson) and grandchildren, Tyler and Jacoby; his daughter-in-law, Krista Hansen-Zerr (Bill Edwards) and grandchildren, Ava and Andrew Hansen-Zerr. Tony is also survived by his sister, Maria, in Germany; his three brothers, Eugen, Waldemar and Adolf in Regina; his youngest brother, Rudolf in Delta; as well his nieces and nephews in Canada and Germany. Anton was born in Heidelberg, Soviet Union (Russia) to Ida (Jungkind) and Eugen Zerr. Due to their German heritage they made the trek to Germany under extremely arduous circumstances. The Zerr family left Tiefenbrunn, Russia in 1942, traveling by horse and wagon. Along the way they lived in a displaced persons camp in Poland for approximately two years prior to arriving by train in Lautenthal, Germany in approximately 1945. Tony immigrated to Canada in February 1952 arriving at his Uncle John Frank’s farm in Southey, Saskatchewan, during a prairie snowstorm. Tony married Judy Thode in 1962 and he became a Canadian citizen in 1969. Their son Rudy, was born in 1970 in Regina and their daughter Kathy, in 1975 in Nanaimo. The family moved to Nanaimo in 1974 where they raised their family. Tony built a six unit apartment block in Regina and two houses in Nanaimo. Most of his working career was spent as an independent businessman and he installed carpet and worked as a plumber until his retirement in 1996. In his retirement years he was known for gardening, tending to his roses, and growing grapes for making wine. He also made small wooden crafts, baked bread and made many meals for friends and neighbours. In the last few years his retirement was spent quietly with his family and grandchildren right up to his short hospital stay. Tony was very pleased to live with his wife, in the home he built, for the past 35 years. The family would like to thank Nanaimo Fire Rescue and British Columbia Emergency Health Services for their quick response. We would also like to extend a special thank you to the Doctors and Staff at NRGH Emergency Room; Fourth Floor; and Palliative Care areas. Dr. Beerman was Tony’s doctor for many years and cared for Tony leading up to his hospital stay and right to the end. Tony was given exemplary care by all. Be advised that the Celebration of Life will be held at Sands Funeral Chapel, 1 Newcastle Avenue, Nanaimo, BC at 11:00 am, Saturday, August 9, 2014. A Celebration of Life and a light lunch will be followed by interment at Cedar Valley Memorial Gardens. The family suggests that instead of flowers, donations be made to your favourite charity.

Acme T-men, Tri-City team start series

V.I. Raiders, new coach earn first win I JR. FOOTBALL team defeats Victoria by 39-9 score.

The Acme Timbermen will try to find out if the Bandits are beatable. The Nanaimo Acme Painting Timbermen are taking on the Tri-City Bandits in the West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association finals, which got underway Wednesday night after press time. The Bandits have won six straight B.C. senior B titles, including one in 2010 against the T-men. “It gives us motivation to try to get the B.C. title because it’s something that they’ve had for a number of years now,” said Mike Maughan, coach of the Acme men. Nanaimo won the season series versus TriCity, two games to one. “We’re a good team and I think our record proved that, but it’s also nice to beat them along the way and kind of reaffirm our confidence in our abilities,” Maughan said. “So hopefully that bodes well.” Nanaimo (15-2-1) has home-floor advantage over Tri-City (15-3). “Hopefully we can use the home floor, get the crowd on our side and jump out on them early,” said the coach. “We’re confident, once we get a good lead, that we can see it through.” LACROSSE TALK … For results from Wednesday’s Game 1, please v i s i t w w w. n a n a i m o bulletin.com … Game 2 is Saturday (Aug. 9) in Coquitlam and Game 3 is Sunday at 6 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena.

BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN

The V.I Raiders earned their first win of the season, the first win for a new coaching staff and the first win, they hope, of many. The Raiders defeated the Westshore Rebels 39-9 on Saturday night in B.C. Football Conference action in Victoria. The Raiders rocketed to a 26-0 first-quarter lead, then the rest of the game was more evenly contested. “ We ’ v e b e e n w o r k i n g extremely hard, so it was nice to get this victory, especially the first one of the season with a whole-new coaching staff. So that means a lot,” said Brendan Lattimer, V.I. defensive back. “And I think it’s just the beginning. I think we’re going to start rolling from here.” It was the first career coaching win for Brian Ridgeway, but he wasn’t satisfied with what he saw on Saturday. “If we were perfect, then I’d be super happy, but we weren’t perfect…” he said. “We got the win and we needed the two points, but our execution was nowhere near where it needed to be.” He said his players didn’t maintain their focus consistently and abandoned their technique and scheme. “We still need to work on keeping the tempo going throughout the whole game. It’s definitely something we’ll work on,” said Arthur Fabbro, V.I. receiver. V.I. quarterback Liam O’Brien threw touchdown passes to Owen Redlick and Marshall Cook, Nate Berg ran in a nine-

yard touchdown, and then O’Brien found a wide-open Alex Kutra, who straight-armed the last Rebels defender and ran in for a 52-yard catch-and-run TD. There was no more scoring until late in the third quarter, when Brody Taylor completed a 40-yard TD pass to Fabbro. V.I.’s Micheal Ritchott scored a 69-yard punt return TD in the fourth quarter. Defensively, Lattimer had

an interception and a fumble recovery and Daniel Dubinski had a forced fumble and an INT. Taylor Saine had two sacks, Kaelan Botel and Ash Gayat also got to the quarterback and Dexter Shea and Linden Klein had five tackles each. Lattimer said the team learned to win together on Saturday. “The game just ended, but the level of a brotherhood that we’re starting to create is

amazing,” he said. “Especially getting all the rookies to have the confidence and understand that the Raiders are a winning franchise and that’s what we do.” GAME ON … The Raiders visit the Okanagan Sun on Saturday (Aug. 9) in Kelowna.

Basketball teams win school district titles Last week we caught up on recognizing some of the top local basketball squads at the elementary school level from the past season. Boys’ teams were featured last week, so we now turn the spotlight on some talented young girls’ teams… As was the case with the boys, bantam (born 2000-01) girls’ basketball offered separate leagues for teams from schools with a total population of over 250 students and for those from smaller schools. Bill Rounis coordinated the league for larger schools. Post-season playoffs led to a district championship for the entry from Georgia Avenue Elementary. Bringing home the first-place pennant for their school were players Sara Kishawi, Jasmine Milburn, Madison Turnbull, Elizabeth Grychuk, Emily Bellerose, Chiara Dulay, Sierra Clark and Jocelyn Powell. Coach for the winning

group was Larry Dean. Merner, Maddy Dawson Teams from Mountain and Ryan Doumont.

Why is Sterling Silver

Juicy Goodness!

Beef superior? Let us count the ways.

It’s the best of the best

Handpicked from the best of the highest grade of beef, Sterling Silver beef has more flavour than lower-quality beef, providing exceptional tenderness, juiciness and taste in every bite.

It’s Beautifully Marbled

Marbling is the white flecks of fat within the muscle that melt into the meat as it cooks, giving it succulent flavour and texture. Sterling Silver beef is highly marbled for superior taste and texture.

It’s aged just right

Sterling Silver cuts are aged no fewer than 21 days to maximize tenderness and richness of flavour.
