Pauline Hagembe, left, Frank LoPinto and Alican Kerman have developed a pixel coding system and smartphone app that could have major benefits for people in developing countries with little or no Internet infrastructure.

a link and then your phone uses that Internet connection to take you to the link,” Hagembe said. “With our PXIT code we have actual information that is embedded in the pixel code ... You don’t need the Internet in your phone or the display device to get whatever is in there to your phone.” The digital information can be fed to the display device by anything from a standard TV broadcast system to a DVD or flash drive hand-delivered to a remote location. Hagembe sees the potential for widespread applications anywhere in the world, but especially in her native Kenya, where much of the population carries cellphones and there is an abundance of older TV technology, but no money to build Internet infrastructure. “So we have people in those areas

who can barely afford food, who can barely afford to live, but they have cell phones and TVs,” Hagembe said. She said PXIT, for example, could potentially have a major impact in getting critical information to people in areas affected by the current Ebola virus outbreak. The team has been working on the system together since March, but LoPinto started tinkering with the software in 2012. The primary goal of the Kenya pilot project will be to demonstrate that Pixelstream’s Android app can decode PXIT codes displayed on Kenyan TV systems in rural areas with the quality required for the technology to work.

Nanaimo city council will move ahead on a lease agreement which could see waterfront park loaned to private developers. In a 5-1 vote Monday, city council gave approval in principle for a lease that allows InSight Developments, developers of the proposed Hilton hotel, to build amenities into Georgia Park, between Maffeo Sutton and Pioneer Plaza. Development representatives say they have been working with city staff and the parks department on the design, which includes a grand staircase down to the waterfront, an infinity pool, patio and loading dock. The work, estimated at $1.5 million, would also be part of a public thoroughfare the city wants from Front Street, through the hotel to the waterfront, according to project spokesman Brian Henning, who says without the lease area people would walk out of the building onto grass. It will be The desired work would take more than for hotel 900 square metres or to 60 per cent out purposes and close of the waterfront green not for public space and be for the benefit of the hotel and purposes. its guests, although a city report says the area will still remain open to the public. A draft agreement is expected to go to council if a zoning amendment bylaw for the 35-storey hotel is approved, but electors will ultimately decide if the project gets the park lease. Mayor John Ruttan, who gave initial approval for the lease, said he appreciates “a park is a park is a park,” but pointed out there’s not a great utilization of the space and the city would still own the property under the agreement. However, Coun. Fred Pattje believes the city could lose control of what happens with that section of the park no matter how flowery the wording, “because it will be for hotel purposes and not for public purposes,” he said.

Hilton seeks park lease for waterfront project BY TAMARA CUNNINGHAM

A team of software engineers from Vancouver Island University has developed technology that could get people in developing countries wired to the web where the Internet doesn’t exist. To promote its product and crowdfund a pilot project, the team has created Pixel Stream Communications. Frank LoPinto, a VIU computing science professor and company CEO, along with software engineers Alican Kerman and Pauline Hagembe, need to raise $12,000 to finance field testing for their technology, called PXIT (pixel stream information transfer), in Hagembe’s native country, Kenya. PXIT is based on an encoding system that can display pixelated digital information on any video display device, such as a standard TV, video monitor or even a digital photo frame. The second part of the system is an Android-based smartphone app, that can be downloaded for free, that enables the phone to read, store and play back the information scanned. On screen, PXIT looks like a continually shifting colour QR code, but PXIT doesn’t link the phone to a website on the Internet. Instead, whole packages of information, such as medical alerts, news, music, educational materials, or just about any information one can think of, is transferred into the phone’s memory for playback later. The data can also contain links to websites the phone can connect to when its user is in an area where Wi-Fi is available. “With a QR code, you basically just have a link that’s embedded in that image, so when you scan it, what you’re getting from that image is just

City looks at Colliery options Alternative options to address the Colliery dams will be considered by Nanaimo city officials. Nanaimo city council decided to hold off on a public meeting on the Colliery dams and its remediation options to pursue requests for proposals, including from the firm GSI. In July the City of Nanaimo released options and cost estimates to address flood risk at the lower Colliery dam, which highlighted two measures: overtopping for $7.2 million or increasing the size of the spillway for $8.1 million. Engineers advised that doing nothing to the structures wasn’t an option and a third solution – an alternative overtopping proposed by the Colliery Dam Park Preservation Society and GSI – would require additional evaluation and costs. Park preservation society members, however, have maintained that the alternative measure would be less intrusive and cheaper at less than $3 million. On Monday, Coun. Fred Pattje made the motion to see a meeting on the dams put on ice while research was done on the GSI option – and others – included in a sevenstep request for qualification and request for proposal process. The work would cost an estimated $200,000 to $400,000, and take up to four months to do, according to a city report. City staff say a decision must be made by Christmas to facilitate remediation work next summer.

Suspect caught in break and enter Man and man’s best friend are being credited in the arrest of a suspected thief, who is accused of stealing two vehicles and numerous household items from a Nanaimo home. On Aug. 8, residents of a home on Melodi Wood Way returned from a vacation to discover that their home had been ransacked and their vehicles stolen. The couple then reported the incident to Nanaimo RCMP, who were able to make an arrest the following day, thanks to an alert off-duty officer.

Weldon was taken to hospital where he received three stitches for dog bites. Following the arrest, RCMP searched a home on Malaspina Drive, where they recovered nearly $15,000 of home electronics, sporting goods, computer equipment, clothing and appliances, which are believed to have been from the home on Melodi Wood Way. An adult female was arrested at the home and later released.

Staff is also recommending a 60-year-plus term. According to Darwin Mahlum, a spokesman for the hotel project, the area could be designed without the park but it would

be a huge loss to the public. He says redeveloping the hill is a problem for the parks department because of access and this way the hotel would do the work and pay for the joint-use area. On Monday city council also decided to sell the hotel developers a $475,000 lane way and move ahead on rezoning, which includes staff securing $1.187 million for park improvements. A public hearing for rezoning is set for Sept. 4.

For the 120th time, the Vancouver Island Exhibition country fair is set to begin in Nanaimo. The fair starts Friday (Aug. 15), running until Sunday and with it the usual attractions, such as the 4-H livestock, the kid zone, pieeating contest and logger sports. There will be some new features, including the Island Chef cooking contest and a western-style show. “It’s called Boom Town. It’s a western show, re-enactment stuff like the OK Corral and a few other different things, and which is really cool,” said Don Boyd, VIEX president. Boyd said wrestling will make a return to the fair, in the form of the Pure Wrestling Association, and horsedrawn carriages with the B.C. Carriage Driving Society and illusionist Michael Berends, who has worked with Criss Angel, will also wow crowds. The opening ceremony, which begins at 8:45 p.m. Friday, will feature some circus-like entertainment and some heat, so to speak. “This year we have Vesta Entertainment coming in,” Boyd said. “They’ve got some cool stuff for the opening ceremony, there will be a fire display performance.” Amongst the musical acts are country duo One More Girl, Chilliwack, Grapes of Wrath, The Legendary

Wreath remembrance

Sgt.-at-Arms Clarence Reid and British Columbia Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon lay a wreath at the new cenotaph in Lantzville on Saturday. Royal Canadian Legion Branch 257 raised money through the sale of memorial markers to pay for the permanent marker in Huddlestone Park.

Drivers will need more spare change to park on downtown streets this fall as the city rolls out the first phase of a new parking strategy. On-street meter rates are expected to increase for the first time in a decade this October as the city acts on parking changes approved by Nanaimo City Council Monday. The City of Nanaimo has proposed a $897,250 multi-year parking plan aimed at increasing revenue, filling parkades and speeding up turnover on busy streets. According to a city report, more traffic downtown has created congestion where parking is free and high use of public streets in residential areas where people park their vehicles and walk to work. It’s left the city with underutilized parkades and merchants that see little turnover of traffic on streets in front of their businesses. The city’s parking rates also don’t support financial obligations for annual repairs, maintenance and debt repayment for parkades, the report says. The new strategy would eventually see the elimination of free two-hour parking and new meters in popular downtown areas like Commercial Street and the Old City Quarter – a cost politicians will consider during budget talks. Nanaimo city council has opted to begin rolling out the plan this year with two-hour restrictions in downtown residential areas and new meter rates that will see it cost more for premium on-street parking than parkades. Street stalls will increase from 50 cents an hour to $1.25 while parkades will cost 75 cents for two hours. There will also be rate increases for off-street facilities, including a

hike from $3 to $9 for 12-hour parking at the city’s Cavan, Wallace and Wentworth street lots. A one-year program will offer free evening and weekend parking at the Bastion Street parkade. Mayor John Ruttan called the plan a positive change. “I know one of the concerns I get all the time is there’s not enough parking downtown and I think part of the answer to that is there’s not enough movement of cars from the existing parking,” he said. “I think this would certainly help.” Coun. Bill Bestwick took issue with giving away parkade parking. The city, which recently spent $200,000 on repair work at the Bastion Street facility, would lose more than $2,000 monthly if it allowed people to use stalls at no cost on evenings and weekends. “We have to maintain that and I can’t imagine giving parking away,” he said. Coun. Bill McKay suggested the city review parking structure for hotels to increase revenue. Changes approved this week are expected to be in place by Oct. 1. It will cost an estimated $62,250 and is expected to generate more than $300,000 in increased annual revenue. The entire plan, proposed to take place over three years, would increase revenue by $872,500 each year. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Annual walk raises money and awareness of kidney disease and organ donation By Karl yu The News BulleTiN

Nanaimo’s Kidney Walk takes place this Sunday (Aug. 17) at Maffeo Sutton Park, beginning at 10 a.m. According to Pascale Jallabert, Nanaimo Kidney Walk coordinator, it is a family event with a number of options to participate.

“We’re doing a 2.5-kilometre walk at the waterfront and there’s a 5 km fun run. We have 2.5 km (for) dragon boating,” said Jallabert. “It’s just for fun and is open to anyone.” While it is the seventh iteration of the Nanaimo walk, the Kidney Foundation of Canada B.C. branch is celebrating its 50th anniversary and as such, Jallabert said there will be cake

research, and one of the goals of the walk is to spur people on to register as organ donors. There will be places to register on Sunday. “In B.C. they did a survey and 85 per cent of people surveyed said they want to [donate] organs but right now 19 per cent of people registered for organ donation so the No. 1 goal is to really have that aware-

ness,” Jallabert said. The goal is to raise $20,000 in 2014 – the 2013 total was about $21,000 – and donations will be accepted online and at the event. Jallabert is still accepting volunteers as well. For more information, please go to www.kidney.ca/bcwalk or call Jallabert at 250-758-4397. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

EDITORIAL

Keep parkland public property Hilton developers think Georgia Park would make a perfect front yard for their hotel, and city council agrees. This week, councillors approved in principle the lease of a portion of Georgia Park to Insight Holdings. Hilton wants to lease more than half the park to create a luxurious terrace for its ritzy tower. It’s concerning that council is so quick to turn over parkland to the private sector. The parcel of land has some historical significance as one of the first public access points to the waterfront, and even now, according to the city’s own count, Georgia Park sees more passersby than any other park in the city. That’s an indication that it’s a location – connecting the boardwalk with Maffeo Sutton Park – that matters very much to residents and visitors. It’s true that Georgia Park isn’t so much a destination as a thoroughfare, and adjacent to a hotel, it could become even more of a gateway to the waterfront. Guests would be able to meander off hotel grounds, into the park, and from there, wherever they please. Parks and rec was considering upgrades to Georgia Park long before the Hilton hotel was ever imagined. Now developers have presented their own vision, a $1.5-million extreme makeover developed in consultation with city staff. Insight wants a patio, water features, staircase and a loading bay, and some aspects of the design are admittedly attractive. Public steps that encourage loitering and assembly can be a community asset; turning parkland into a loading bay, on the other hand, is not palatable. Hilton intends to make a $1.2-million community contribution to the park, and we hope that happens without the tradeoff of taking an excavator to the hill. The lease will eventually go to an alternate-approval process, so citizens will help shape the future of our grassy slope. Right now, the Nanaimo Hilton still exists only in an artist’s rendering. We think the artist needs to learn to colour within the lines, and keep its hotel on hotel property.

‘Next year can we try my idea of the world’s longest lawn bowling game?’

One repeats the government’s intention to open up non-farm use rules to allow certain oil and gas service functions on farmland. This is to reflect the reality already on the ground in the Northeast. What other nonfarm activities it may entail is not yet known, as the consultation and regional meetings continue until Aug. 22. There are proposals to bypass the Agricultural Land Commission for certain kinds of farmland subdivision, and finally there are proposed exemptions from ALC scrutiny of leases, to allow ‘intergenerational transfer.’ Another exemption would “encourage the use of otherwise unfarmed land by existing or new farmers.” NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham, who circulated a photo of herself with a samurai sword in a theatrical ‘Kill Bill 24’ campaign, continues to insist that these changes open up 90 per cent of ALR land for development. It’s a hypocritical as well as a misleading statement, since a portion of her own Saanich farm property is rented to a successful craft gin distillery. u Tom Fletcher is a columnist and legislative reporter for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Liberal leader lacks substance To the Editor,

The more I listen to what comes out of Justin Trudeau’s mouth the more convinced I am that he is indeed in over his head. He claims he would cancel legislation requiring native leaders to disclose salaries. He would “work with” First Nations for a more “respectful” alternative to the existing legislation which is to say he prefers the status quo by which the chiefs would be able to continue to keep secret from band members their ridiculous salaries. He would remove a required transparency that allows band members to properly examine their leaders’ spending practices. Trudeau is saying in effect that he prefers the ‘entitlement mentality,’ privilege, corruption and secrecy to transparency and accountability. The gaffes and silly remarks just keep piling up with everincreasing evidence of a cluttered and undisciplined mind and the obvious deficiencies of the man who would be prime minister. When substance

Taxpayers don’t support raises for teachers To the Editor,

Re: Cutbacks causing harm to education system, Letters, Aug. 7. Taxpayers that support the school teachers are twofaced. Why? If the government decided to hold a provincewide referendum asking the taxpayers to make a decision

of whether or not to give in to the requested demands of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, the vote result would be a solid no. The question could read something like this: Are you in favour or not in favour of giving the teachers their request of a five-year contract

with a pay raise of eight per cent and a $5,000 signing bonus? If in favour, the increase will be covered with a immediate increase in income tax on pay cheques. There are even some school teachers that would vote no on the question.

I am just wondering if there are not enough people on Vancouver Island who feel the same way I do about the rail line being brought back. In my opinion, there is no way that $20 million is justified to get this going. There will not be enough ridership to make this a financially responsible venture on taxpayers’ behalf.

Are people living in the Regional District of Nanaimo really willing to fork over $945,000? Not according to what I hear on the street. The better solution will be to turn this track into a multipurpose trail that every one can enjoy. Maybe if more of us spoke up?

For as long as sisters and singers Britt and Carly McKillip can remember they knew they were destined for a career in music. “I don’t think there was ever any question either as to what we were going to do,” Carly, 25, told the News Bulletin. “This was what we were going to do and we were going to do it together.” Since they were in their early teens, the sisters have been taking the stage together as awardwinning country duo, One More Girl.

On Friday (Aug. 15), One More Girl will be taking the stage at the Vancouver Island Exhibition. “We are super excited,” Carly said about their upcoming performance in the Harbour City. “Summer festival season is always a really fun time and we love on the Island so it is going to be a really fun show and a really fun experience.” The McKillips grew up surrounded by musical talent. Their mother, Lynda is a singer/songwriter and their father, Tom, is a musician and p ro d u c e r, w h o h a s worked with artists such as Lisa Brokop, Ian Tyson,

Despite their parents being involved in the music industr y, the duo felt no pressure to become musicians. “Carly and I both chose this from a very young age,” Britt said. In 2008, One More Girl was signed to EMI Music Canada and have since released multiple records, including their most recent record, The Hard Way. “We have poured so much blood, sweat and tears, time, energy, late nights into this album and we have been very involved with the pro-

The Hard Way was coproduced by both girls and features Britt playing the acoustic guitar and Carly playing piano. “I don’t think we’ve ever had so much involvement in anything production wise ever in our career,” Britt said. “So this was Let Us Make Your Car Look New Again AND $SAVE$

Sixth annual event goes this weekend at various venues on Gabriola Island By Nicholas Pescod The News BulleTiN

There will be no shortage of things to do this weekend on Gabriola Island. The sixth annual Gabriola Theatre Festival is set to take over Gabriola Island from Friday (Aug. 15) until Sunday. Although the festival focuses on theatre performances, Gabriola Theatre Festival director Alina Cerminara said it is more than just theatre. “It is a weekend of lots of fun and it is definitely what I call more of an arts festival more than just

a theatre festival,” Cerminara said. This year the festival has decided to adopt a Roaring Twenties theme and will be hosting a speakeasy launch party tonight (Aug. 14) at the Old Crow Café. The festival will pay tribute to Gabriolian, Antony Holland, who recently received the Order of Canada. “Antony is 94 years old, so he is really getting up there in age and so we wanted to be able to do and make sure he was still around,” Cerminara said. “But also it kind of worked because

he was born in the 1920s and it worked with our theme. Also, he has been doing final shows on the Island.” This year’s festival features 10 main stage shows, which range in everything from comedy to mystery. “There is a huge range,” Cerminara said. “We’ve got comedy like Gabriola Gumshoe: The Case of the Coffeehouse Conflagration, which is about a detective from Nanaimo who is coming over to investigate a fire on the island.” One of the productions featured at the festival is Strapless, which a series of sketch comedy acts performed by four females. “We leave everything on the table. We play men, we play women, we play kids. It’s all about pushing our range as actors and artists,” Strapless co-producer and actor Jackie Blackmore said. “We’ve written most the sketches ourselves ... the goal our show is to make people laugh. It’s all about

entertainment.” In addition to the main stage shows, the Gabriola Theatre Festival will be featuring a number of other live acts, including popular children’s performers The Kerplunks. “When there is not a main stage show going on there is a free outdoor stage,” Cerminara said.“We will always have performers on that stage. They can vary from bands, to clowns, to circus, to puppet shows.” Main stage shows include East – How Far Would You Go For Love?, Eva Cassidy: How Can I Keep From Singing?, Falstaff, Gabriola Gumshoe, Holmes and Watson Save the Empire, Mr. Marmalade, Strapless, Swimming with Piranhas, Tomorrow’s Dawn and Trunk. Tickets for the main stage shows are $20 for adults and $10 for those 16 and under.

Volunteers of all ages donated their time to make the 2014 B.C. Summer Games in Nanaimo successful.

By erin MacDonalD Margart Kilner recently stumbled across a navy blue blazer her late husband, Frank, received from the B.C. Games in 1985, when he served as Director of Security. The blazer was in pristine condition, and even contained her husband’s perfectly preserved volunteer badge in the pocket. The garment brought back a flood of memories, with Kilner recalling what a positive experience her husband had at the Games. “I was in awe of the amount of work and planning it took behind the scenes to pull off the Games, but Frank was perfectly suited for it. He was used to organizing and directing a lot of people through his role with the RCMP,” she said. Frank Kilner was born in Nanaimo and first served with the Vancouver provincial police before joining the RCMP in the 1950s when they took over the policing in B.C. After a long career, he eventually settled back in Nanaimo, serving as staff sergeant and second in command of the RCMP from 197476. Kilner retired from the RCMP in 1976. Mrs. Kilner contacted 2014 B.C. Summer Games organizers to arrange to donate the jacket to Games president and retired

The fact that she was able to donate the garment to Lott was icing on the cake. Given his background with the RCMP and the Games, Kilner felt he was the “perfect fit” to receive this gift.

Hosting the largest event in Nanaimo in more than a decade is no small task. More than 3,200 volunteers were recruited for the 2014 B.C. Summer Games – nearly one volunteer for every athlete. From bus drivers to boxed lunches, volunteers were the backbone of the 2014 B.C. Summer Games. The Realtors from Re/Max of Nanaimo were the largest organization to volunteer with more than 45 agents giving their time to the Games. Re/Max of Nanaimo Realtors received a standing ovation from the volunteers for hosting the Volunteer Appreciation event. “Our Realtors have a long history of supporting the community. These Games were a major community event and the agents wanted to support the volunteers in a meaningful way,” said Ian Thompson, volunteer and Re/Max of Nanaimo Realtor. “As a father and grandfather,

Volunteers were required to help make all aspects of the B.C. Summer Games in Nanaimo successful, from preparing meals to security.

I believe sport is essential for skills development for the next generation of our community.” Giving back to the community was a common theme among volunteers. Paul Jay and Carter Power were two of 70 photographers volunteering their time and expertise to capture those golden moments on film.

“I loved the opportunity to give back to the community” Jay said. “And to witness first-hand the enthusiasm of all involved. It was an incredible experience.” “The kids and their coaches put their hearts and souls on the line for three days of competition,” Power said. “It was my pleasure to capture those memories.”

Volunteers with the Green Team made sure that sports drinks were easily recycled and trash collected to keep the venues at the B.C. Summer Games as tidy as possible.

Summer Games had a presence,that there were plenty of spots for sports drinks to be recycled and bins for garbage to be deposited. The effort to move towards a zero-waste major event in Nanaimo, with special focus at the food preparation and serving venues, was recognized and applauded by many. “Though it was not the most glamorous job for community members to sign up for, our Green

The legacy from the 2002 Nanaimo B.C. Summer Games is legendary with more than $200,000 injected back into the community. That year remains the largest community legacy in B.C. Games history. Sport organizations benefited with new infrastructure, equipment and dollars for sport related projects. The 2014 numbers are still being tabulated, yet with nearly $1 million raised, it is safe to say the sport community will benefit significantly from these Games. “Sponsors and the community rallied together to make these Games a tremendous success.” said Rod Milner, director of Friends of the Games. “We asked and the business community responded in a big way, with everything from batteries to buses.” Food services was a major undertaking, preparing 40,000 healthy meals in four days. When the Games ended, four community organizations along with four families in need benefitted from unused food. Quality Foods, Country Grocer and Fresh Point came together to feed the athletes and volunteers throughout

Capacity building at the B.C. Summer Games was key to a successful event and is a big part of the lasting impact that will be felt in Nanaimo for years to come. Volunteers, judges and atheletes developed new skills during the four-day event in July.

the Games. Capacity building within the community was a key focus of these Games. The Games, in partnership with the Nanaimo Division of Family Practice, offered free concussion training. Coaches, parents, first responders and medical practitioners of all stripes attended, building bridges across professions. “The quality of the sessions

led to increased awareness, assessment and treatment during the Games,” said Dr. Lorne Goodall, medical director for the B.C. Summer Games. “These sessions are a living legacy which will improve concussion management in the central Island area for years to come.” The final tally on the 2014 B.C. Summer Games legacy is expected this fall.

Bursaries help created richer future for B.C. Games athletes, youth leaders Sixteen athletes and community leaders were recognized with a Coast Capital Savings Athlete Bursary at the Closing Ceremony of the 2014 B.C. Summer Games in Nanaimo. The bursary recipients were chosen from more than 350 applicants for their significant achievements in sport and education and most importantly for their leadership contributions to their schools, community, or sport associations. The athletes are from 16 different communities around the province and their leadership involvement includes service with student councils, community events, food banks, fundraising, coaching, and officiating, to name a few. “Coast Capital Savings is committed to building a richer future for youth in the communities where we live and work,” said Maureen Young, manager, com-

Chore works with a variety of community events and encourages her friends to get involved. “I am helping today, but more importantly I am setting myself up for a lifetime of volunteerism because I want to shape a positive future. Volunteering is fun, it helps communities grow and I don’t think a community would function without volunteers.” Amanda Heinze of Prince George represented the Cariboo North East in athletics.

Matthew Armstrong of Surrey competed in volleyball for the Fraser Valley at the 2014 B.C. Summer Games. He has more than 415 hours of community service through coaching, summer camps

and launching a new volleyball club. “Sport, education, and volunteer work are all strong areas of interest for me,” said Armstrong. The B.C. Summer Games are an important opportunity for athlete development, but through sport, these athletes are also learning lifelong skills of commitment and leadership.

“The response to this bursary opportunity shows that these athletes are not only leaders on the field of play but also in their home communities,” said Kelly Mann, president and CEO of the B.C. Games Society. “We were impressed with the involvement of these young leaders and are proud to call them all B.C. Games alumni.”

You already know that obesity is a growing problem (no pun in- tended), but what you may not realize is that a group of chemical compounds called obesogens, may be at least partly responsible for our seemingly inability to win the war on fat. Obesogens (a pairing of the words “obesity” and “estrogen”) are foreign chemical compounds that disrupt normal metabolism and in the process promote fat accumulation. In other words, they can cause us to gain fat and make it next to impossible to lose it! The problem is obesogens are found all around us and news of their infiltration has been heard on major radio and television shows including quite recently, Dr. Oz. These compounds are found in plastic water bottles, the lining inside canned foods, plastic storage con-tainers, pesticides, and preservatives (parabens) in cosmetics. Thankfully nature is able to supply an array of powerful protectors when it comes to these obesogens. Compounds known as indoles, which occur in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower and kale, help protect against these hormone-disrupting obesogens. In a perfect world we would be able to consume enough of these indoles to offset excess obeso- gens, however it would take an incredibly high consumption of cruciferous vegetables to obtain enough indoles to do the trick. The good news is that two natural formulas, Ultimate Male Energy and Ultimate Her Energy are available each containing a scientifically validated level of these indoles to help block and expel the numerous daily obesogens. 60 caps His Or Hers

Salmon returns not as simple as boom or bust The plight of the Pacific salmon has been an important news story over the past few years, and often one of the big talking points is the small numbers that return to spawn every year. However, there is a lot more to the discussion than a single number. “When we’re talking about salmon returning, we’re actually talking about five species,” says Dr. Scott Hinch of the University of British Columbia. “Not all of them come back at the same time. It’s very species-specific as to when they return.” For example, the pink salmon return every second year to the Fraser River instead of every year, whereas the sockeye salmon, perhaps the most well-known species, returns each year. The other species of salmon in our Pacific waters are the coho, Chinook and chum, though the pink salmon is the most abundant, according to Hinch. “Pink salmon don’t require the same spawning and rearing habitat that other species do,” he says. “They don’t rear for long in fresh water, and they tend to head to the ocean shortly after the eggs hatch.” This has an effect on the size of the fish that travel to the ocean and thus their survival possibilities. Hinch points out that sockeye salmon tend to stay in the large lakes they’re born near for about a year, making them larger when they do start their migration to the

The Pacific Salmon Foundation recently released the results of a four-year study looking at Sockeye salmon smolts during their migration to the ocean.

ocean. Another thing to keep in mind when looking at the number of salmon is their life cycle, which actually moves in a four-year rhythm for sockeye. “Every four years we see a really big run of sockeye,” Hinch says. “In 2010 we saw one of the largest runs of Fraser River sockeye in a century. Thus, four years later (in 2014), we’re expecting to see another abundant run, though exactly how abundant is unclear. In the third year of this cycle the run is still fairly big, but in years one and two, it is quite small. That cycle seems to persist.” Aside from these natural abundance cycles, there are a few things that contribute to a large or small return of a specific species of salmon, including the number of predators, poor health and poor feeding conditions which can be affected by climate patterns like El Nino. Year-to-year changes in ocean and freshwater conditions caused by global climate change are also affecting feeding, growth and predator numbers. The Pacific Salmon Foundation, in partnership with Hinch, UBC and Kintama Research, recently released the results of a four-year study looking at sockeye salmon smolts during their migration to the sea from their rearing area in Chilko Lake. This was the first-ever study to track wild sockeye smolts (young salmon that have begun changing from freshwater to saltwater fish) through their migration via acoustic tags. Through the study, they discovered that many of the smolts disappeared during the first few days of their migration, which Hinch attributes to predators. “The water there is very clear, and the predators are generally visual feeders,” he says. “Once they get through the clear water, survivorship during the remainder of their freshwater migration was very good.” The team followed the smolts over 1,000 kilometres to the northern end of Vancouver Island. “We were the first to track this stage in this number,” says Hinch, noting that as of this spring, over 2,000 fish were tagged. The Pacific Salmon Foundation is currently working on the Salish Sea Marine Survival Project in partnership with Seattle-based Long Live the Kings, another organization committed to the protection of wild salmon. The project looks at the factors affecting the survival of the young salmon in the Salish Sea, and will build off of the results of the Chilko study in their research. “We are trying to determine the limiting factors of salmon production,” says Foundation CEO Dr. Brian Riddell. “This is the largest initiative ever undertaken; there have been thousands of studies before, but no comprehensive study.” The project will focus on the Strait of Georgia, where the the abundance of coho and Chinook salmon are low. The Foundation notes that it’s at less than one-tenth of the levels seen in the past.

Beefs & bouquets BOUQUET To Graham, manager of the Brick. Wonderful service in handling an unfortunate situation concerning a dishwasher, over and above what was expected. BEEF To the dealership for continuing to bombard me with sales phone calls even after I politely explained that I bought a car elsewhere. This wasted my time and was a huge hassle to deal with. BOUQUET To the manager and staff at the Aulds Road Coast Capital Savings credit union branch for your assistance. The issue wasn’t the fault of your branch, but staff there were very helpful and provided outstanding customer service in resolving the issue. BEEF To the man who went into the nice airconditioned restaurant in Chase River for lunch and left his yellow lab in the back of his pickup in the blazing sun. You do get a bouquet for moving your truck after I threatened to call animal control. And a beef to the men in the parking lot who told me to mind my own business and let the dog sit in the sun. BOUQUET To the kind people who think to put water out for the wild animals during the hot weather. They surely appreciate it. BEEF To the person who owns the shepherd cross on Takala Road. Your prey-driven dog attempted multiple times to bite my horse. Your dog nearly got killed by my horse as he kicked out at it, not to mention my horse or I could have been seriously injured if my horse took off on me.

BOUQUET To the Branch 256 Royal Canadian Legion on E. Wellington Road for permitting us to park our cars on your lot while we were on the picket line. BEEF To the driver in the north-end mall parking lot who did not have the right of way and screamed obscenities and tried to run me over with his car. Even parking lots have marked lines and right of way. BOUQUET To the man who lives on Wakesiah Avenue, who brought cold, delicious watermelon to the teachers on the picket line. So thoughtful and kind, and very much appreciated in the heat of the day. BEEF To the inconsiderate person complaining about a pizzeria refusing to do a delivery 15 minutes prior to closing. What makes you think you’re that special? BOUQUET To the city for picking up the garbage on Railway Avenue on the same days as the complaint. BEEF To the cleaning service that gives good service except if problems happen and does not repair its workmanship to complete satisfaction. BOUQUET To our amazing roofing crew Brian, Buck, Corey, Freddy, Andy and Gary for their spendid job in the worst of the heat and their concern for us going through some medical issues. BEEF To the grumpy veterinarian who called the authorities on me while I was away on vacation. My pet was well looked after.

BOUQUET To Susan and Jared at Home Hardware for going out of their way for my family. Great customer service.

BOUQUET To the beautiful young lady in line at Quality Foods who gave me, a senior citizen, her blueberries so I wouldn’t have to walk back and get them.

BEEF To those who feel it is necessary and OK to smoke pot at the river in front of my children – with their child on their lap. Not appreciated by those of us in a public space. The rap music and drinking wasn’t appreciated, either.

BEEF To the ignorant man walking three dogs on Rock City Road. This is all about your walk – you could care less about their wellbeing. The black Scottie cannot keep up with you. The dog is limping and dragging back on the leash trying to stop.

BOUQUET To Darlene of Her Beautiful Hair Salon for her knowledge, experience and giving me a fabulous colour and cut when another hairdresser made a mess of my hair. Darlene’s kindness and generosity will not be forgotten. BEEF Depression is an ugly entity and a person who brings someone else down to feel better about themselves isn’t a person – they’re that entity and that’s just pure ignorance. BOUQUET To the Dam Poets, inspired by the Colliery Dams, the Colliery Dam Park Preservation Society and all the people who stepped forward to save the Colliery dams and 67 acres of forest parkland. BEEF To visitors of patients in Nanaimo Regional General Hospital staying in the room for hours until 9 p.m. in groups of nine people, laughing, talking loudly, having no consideration for other patients in the room, having a party like in a pub. Peace and quiet is part of the healing process.

Nanaimo News Bulletin 27

BOUQUET To Quality Foods and the Loyal Nanaimo Bathtub Society for the spectacular Bathtub fireworks – it was exciting and the very best ever. BEEF To the woman at the medical clinic who was so rude about her opinion that marijuana is a cure for cancer. Where is the current, evidence-based, valid, reliable, repeatable and unbiased research to back up your opinion? BOUQUET To Nanaimo RCMP for the incredible people and traffic organization after the Bathtub fireworks. What could have been total chaos was smoothly synchronized. BEEF To the parking company fining vehicle owners parked in the empty lot just below the highrise on Comox Road. Perhaps the owners may have considered opening the property as a community service in the spirit of those who sponsored Symphony by the Sea. BOUQUET To Precision Detailing and Car Care for the exceptional service. Had to have my passenger seat car cleaned quickly due to an unfortunate accident on the way back from the doctor’s. Precision fit me in quickly and did a great job. BEEF To the so-called busker on Commercial Street who thanked me for bumping him. I didn’t, but if that’s his way of collecting money it didn’t work. BOUQUET Symphony by the Sea musical variety show held in Maffeo Sutton Park was a delight with credit to many for the full treat on a lovely summer evening. BEEF To the big box store. Employees scan items twice and sale prices do not show up. This happens every time. Double check your receipt before you leave the store.

Marion was born and raised in Lethbridge, Alberta, the youngest of eight siblings. She is survived by: brother Don Crawford (Sal), heart-sister Joyce Scotton, her five children - Goldie, Wade (Marilyn), Brenda (Dave), Casey, Curtis (Maureen) and Forbes; her twelve grandchildren – Tanya (Scott), Tyrel (Shannon), Sterling (Bonnie), Alix, Esther (Tyler), Marion, Cassidy, Morgan (Tanis), Davis, Gray, Emerald, Harrison; her eight great grandchildren – Cole, Ava, Carson, Ronan, Elle, Sawyer, Cerys, Isla; her four step grandchildren Leslie, William, Emerson and Johnson; and her four step great grandchildren – Kayla, Alexis, Dustin, Ethan.

Marion moved to Cedar in 1953, where with her husband of 52 years, Don, she raised her family, which was her pride and joy. Over the years she was an active volunteer to better her community and was a mentor to many. She inspired us all with her fearless ability to tackle unchartered waters and her beautiful quirky wit. Gramma/GG’s greatest joy was attending all her children’s, grandchildren and great grandchildren’s’ games, dances, concerts, events – you name it and she was there. We have all been so blessed to have her be such an intimate part of our lives. Mom, your unwavering, love and support has provided us all with a quiet strength that will carry us through the rest of our lives. The family welcomes you to join them in a Celebration of Marion’s Life at Cedar Community Hall -2388 Cedar Roadon Thursday. August 21 at 3-pm. The family requests in lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Bethlehem Retreat Centre – 2371 Arbot Rd. Nanaimo, BC V9R 6S9 We wish you God speed Mom into the waiting arms of your family who have gone before you, and your darling great granddaughter, Leighton Rae Gow, who is waiting to play. Marion’s family would like to extend a special thank you to the loving and caring staff at Wexford Creek, both in the assisted living and complex care residence. Your love and support of Mom was beyond anything we could have asked for and you made the last three years of her life joyful and filled with friendship and kindness. The support and deep caring given to her and her family during the last week of her life is something we will cherish always. Thank You! Sands ~ Nanaimo (250)753-2032

Feb. 18, 1953 ~ July 30, 2014

The Morpak family regretfully announces that on July 24, 2014 Paul lost his courageous battle with cancer. Paul is survived by his loving wife Eileen of 57 years, daughter Janice, sons Brian (Lynn) and Jeff (Roxann) as well as 8 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren, twin brother Peter (Irene) and sister Celia ( Joe). Paul was born in Saskatoon, SK on Sept. 21, 1936 where at the age of 18 he met and married Eileen. He worked most of his life as a journeyman glazier. They had four children then moved to Kamloops where he was predeceased by their son Greg in 1979. Gradually the entire family moved to Nanaimo where Paul and Eileen managed an apartment building, then worked with their soon Jeff at his glass shop where Paul because known as the “Glass Ninja�. All who knew him, knew him as a hard worker, a great story teller and most of all a family man. In all the homes in our family there is furniture refinished, yards landscaped and walls painted lovingly by Paul for his family. We will sorely miss his companionship and laughter in our lives and there will forever be an empty spot by the fire. A celebration of life will be held in Paul’s honour at Genesis Church, 4355 Jingle Pot Road on Sat., August 16, 2014 at 2:00 pm.

n sadness we share that Dennis Walker passed away on July 30th after an accident on the work site in Sparwood, BC. Dennis is survived by his wife and best friend of 41 years, Bev, his daughters, Michelle and Lisa (Robin), and his grandchildren, Kaitlyn, Nathan a nd Tyler. Dennis was born and raised in Nanaimo, BC. In his teenage years he served in the militia before he got a job at the government office in the paving division. Young and eager Dennis was interested in running all the heavy duty equipment which led him to a long term position with Hub City Paving. Dennis married his high school sweetheart, Bev, during this time. He spent many years mastering his skills in the industry and developing as a leader. After working on his own and with a few different companies in and out of town his final employment was working on various projects with Copcan. Dennis’ dedication and hard work ethic was clearly evident to those who worked beside him and knew him. Outside of work Dennis was a dedicated family man. He was a loving and supportive husband and father. Dennis enjoyed camping, fishing, road trips on his Harley, and taking vacations with family and friends. Around home he kept busy whether it was working on his yard, rebuilding a ‘69 Camaro, or completing various projects around the house. Dennis’ new loves of his life were his three grandchildren. He was never too busy to play or help out with the little ones. Dennis was known by his friends and neighbours for his quiet demeanor and helping hand. His family will remember him as a quiet, compassionate, hardworking man, who was loved and respected by many. A remembrance and Celebration of Life will be held Friday August 15th at the Curling Club in Nanaimo from 3pm to 6pm. Taken from us too soon. Forever in our thoughts and always in our hearts. Love you and will miss you more than words can say.

V.I. PLAYS sun in home opener this saturday. BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN

FRED SCHAAD/BlACk PRESS

Okanagan Sun players tackle V.I. Raiders receiver Marshall Cook during last weekend’s game in Kelowna. The teams play a rematch Saturday (Aug. 16) at Caledonia Park.

Now... your favourite newspaper at the click of a mouse.

The new-look Raiders take the field at a newlook stadium as football season finally arrives in the city. Nanaimo’s V.I. Raiders play their homecoming game Saturday (Aug. 16) at Caledonia Park against the Okanagan Sun. The men in black had to be road warriors to start the summer, playing their first three regular-season games on opponents’ turf and going 1-2. Now the Raiders get to take to Caledonia in front of friendly fans. “It should be very exciting for them,” said Brian Ridgeway, Raiders coach. “We do relish the fact that it is at home … This is going to be good for us.” The venue has new, safer aluminum bleachers and the changerooms have been renovated. “It’ll be nice to have our home fans, especially now the stands are remodelled and it’s a little bit of a newer Caledonia,” said Daniel Dubinski, V.I. defensive back. Players should draw plenty of family and friends to home games. Never in Raiders history has the team had so many local guys – more than 20

Raiders are alumni of the John Barsby Bulldogs, the Nanaimo Redmen, or both. So for guys like Nate Berg – injured all of last season and now a feature back – this home game will be special. “I’m looking forward to it and a lot of the new guys are,” he said. “It’s going to be a good feeling.” Whether the players are from Nanaimo or not, there’s a tendency to want to play to the crowd and bring extra energy and physicality.

Quickfacts V.I. RAIDERS play their home opener saturday (Aug. 16) against the Okanagan sun at 4 p.m. at Caledonia Park. TICKETS $12 for adults, $10 for seniors and students and free for children five and under. Tickets available at the gate or in advance at Palladian Developments on Turner Road.

“It’s in the back of your mind, but we’ve got to come out and play our game, Raider football,” said Dubinski. They weren’t able to do that a week ago in Kelowna in a 38-0 loss to the Sun. The Raiders had a tough travel day, came out flat at kickoff and couldn’t recover. “They’ve got to come

out and play much more physical and they’ve got to come out and push the pace and have a sense of urgency in their play,” Ridgeway said. The coach said when a team doesn’t get the kind of start it wants, it has to ignore the scoreboard and take each play as it comes. Berg said in those situations, a player shouldn’t rely on a teammate to get things going. “Expect the plays out of yourself, don’t be looking to someone else to make a play,” he said. “If we all do that, we’ve got 24 guys out there all expecting to make a play.” A rematch after a tough loss can be daunting, but it can also be an opportunity. “If you enjoy the challenge, then it’s perfect. If you don’t, and you want to shy away from it, then it’s the worst matchup possible,” Ridgeway said. “I think our guys enjoy the challenge or else they wouldn’t be here in Nanaimo playing for us. So I think they’ll respond.” Dubinski said after a “reality check,” his team will bounce back. “An uphill battle makes us tougher in the long run,” he said.

Vancouver Island street hockey players persevered and set a new world record. Yo u t h S t i c k i n g Together achieved its ultimate goal and earned a place in the book of Guinness World Records for playing street hockey for 105 hours, 44 minutes. Players broke the record Tuesday evening at 5:17 p.m. at the Lions Sports Centre lacrosse box on Wall Street. The game had faced off Friday morning at 8 a.m. and the teams played around the clock, in the sun and in the dark. How did they do it? “Dedication, pride, passion, all those words,” said Tali Campbell, event organizer. “At 105 hours, it doesn’t matter who got the prettiest goal

or who’s got the most goals or the most saves. It’s about a team coming together and supporting each other.” The final score was 1,728-1,381, with Team University Village Mall topping Team Coastal Community Credit Union. But the previous world record of 105 hours, 17 minutes was the only stat players cared about. It motivated the teams all the way through their marathon effort. “It was so hard,” said Kylie Paloposki, one of the players. “I broke into tears more than once. It was so painful… “You just have to think about the end and think about what you’re working for and think about the accomplishment that you’re going to have made once you finish.” Players suffered heat stroke, scrapes, bruises, blisters and one of the players, Brighton Bartlett, seriously injured his knee.

The News BULLeTiN

Patrick Reid celebrates after he and other players broke the record.

It was motivation for guys like Greg Nelson to keep limping their way through shifts. “I was like, ‘Well, I’ve just got a minor injury, he’s been to the hospital, so I need to push through,’” Nelson said. At the record-breaking moment, both teams celebrated like champions, then played on to put the record a little further out of reach. Campbell said it brought tears to his eyes.

“It really makes you proud and it makes you believe that you can do anything you want,” he said. He said the experience will inspire the players in their future endeavours, whatever those may be. “It teaches you to stick with what you’re doing, not to give up,” Paloposki said. “If you work hard at something, you’ll achieve it.” The event raised money for Big Brother Big Sisters Central Vancouver Island, Canuck Place hospice and Victoria’s Topaz Box revitalization project. Youth Sticking Together might be done with breaking hockey records, said Campbell, but he hopes the organization will continue in some capacity. Rick Nelson, one of the board members, had a suggestion to that effect: “Next year can we try my idea of the world’s longest lawn bowling game?” sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Former Timbermen playing for Minto Cup championship Two former Nanaimo Timbermen players are vying for a national junior A lacrosse championship. Goalie Pete Dubenski, forward Brett Hawrys and their Coquitlam Adanacs will take on the Six Nations Arrows in the Minto Cup tournament starting Saturday (Aug. 16) in Langley. Dubenski was the winning goalie in all three games of the Western Canadian finals against the Calgary Mountaineers and Hawrys had three two-goal games in that series. Both players were dealt to the Adanacs at the trade deadline. Hawrys will be back in Nanaimo next season and Dubenski is a graduating junior. In other junior lacrosse news, Timbermen general manager Jon Nicholson was chosen as the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League’s Executive of the Year.

SportsCentre stopping by city

Nanaimo will be part of a week-long tour de sports. TSN’s SportsCentre is crossing Canada as part of its annual Kraft Celebration Tour, and the Harbour City is one of the stops this year. A live SportsCentre taping on Saturday (Aug. 16) is part of a prize won by the Nanaimo Canoe and Kayak Club and the Nanaimo Rowing Club. The clubs were granted $25,000 toward their boathouse project on Long DUTCHYSHEN Lake. TSN will set up its sports desk at Maffeo Sutton Park on Saturday and anchors Darren Dutchyshen and Kate Beirness go live at 3 p.m. “It is a little more different, that’s for sure,

than our regular set, our regular studios at our regular times,” said Dutchyshen. But the TSN personalities have fun with the tour, he said, and enjoy interacting with Canadians. “We love our sports, we really do. It doesn’t matter where you are, that sort of rings true,” Dutchyshen said. A free community barbecue with family activities will be held from 1-3 p.m. leading up to the SportsCentre broadcast. BEIRNESS An interview with Dutchyshen was published in Tuesday’s News Bulletin and can be accessed online at www.nanaimobulletin. com/news. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Question of the Week With the exception of Alberta and Quebec, drivers across Canada can be served with an Immediate Roadside Prohibition (IRP) if they blow 0.05 mg/100ml at the roadside.

Safety Tip: There are many ways to show courtesy behind the wheel, including allowing space for other drivers to change lanes or manouevre. Driver courtesy is contagious, so wave at the next driver who lets you merge in front of them – they may just pay it forward to another driver.

Ford puts the Focus on value by Bob McHugh

The Ford Focus is an affordable and underrated used compact car buy. It got a major makeover for the 2008 model year: an all-new coupe (two-door) edition was introduced to complement the stalwart (four-door) sedan. Lamentably, however, the popular in Canada (but not in the U.S.) wagon and (Euro-style) hatchback versions of Focus were discontinued. The ‘08 refresh of Focus included new front and rear body fascias, improved sound insulation, a redesigned interior and a newtech multi-media upgrade. The ‘08 Focus is also about 45-kilograms lighter overall and its weight reduction measures included the

elimination of a spare tire, which was replaced by an inflator kit. A real spare tire/ wheel could be added as an option. An auto industry landmark was reached when Ford teamed up with Microsoft to offer a unique new multimedia system called Sync, which (for the first time) allowed control of digital music players and cellular phones with voice commands. In addition to the benefit of driver hands-free call taking, the Sync system can also translate text messages into voice messages. The ‘08 Focus, both coupe and sedan, came in S, SE and top-line SES trims To read more, please visit www.drivewaybc.ca.

The Mercedes C-Class is a staple in the M-B lineup.

Mount Rainier in Washington State stands 4,392 metres high. Its majestic presence is topped off with an icy garnish, as well as wispy tufts of clouds that surround its peak. It leaves onlookers in awe. The crystal white hue of Mercedes-Benz C400 seems to have a similar effect on people. They can’t help but stare. Some take photos. Some admire from up close, some from afar. The C-Class is a staple product in the MercedesBenz lineup and is its most popular-selling vehicle in the family. It’s also one that plays a vital role in the Canadian market, one that usually involves snow.

The C300 features a turbocharged 2.0L, 4-cylinder that produces 241 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. (Note, this isn’t the same engine currently found in the CLA or GLA. Then there’s the C400. With 329 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque, this new V6 has more torque and better fuel economy in comparison with the outgoing 2014. Both engines are paired with a 7G-tronic transmission. Whether using the steering wheel paddle shifters or just letting the car change the gears on its own, you also have the ability to change your driving modes thanks to the agility select system that gives you five choices. There’s Eco, Normal, Sport,

While the all-new C-Class isn’t covered in snow (just yet), it can certainly handle it with minimal effort. All CClass sedans come standard with Mercedes’ 4Matic allwheel drive system. Though it’s summertime and that feature isn’t being put to use, there are plenty of other new fun things to play with in this five-person sedan. First off, five people will fit more comfortably inside. It’s larger in every dimension compared to outgoing C-Class. Then you’ll be able to bring out that smile more often when it comes to accelerating. There are two all-new four- and six-cylinder turbocharged engines from which to choose.

Sport+, and Individual. The modes are self-explanatory. Driving in the city and want to save more fuel? Pop it in Eco mode. Heading to a track and want the best access to power? That’s a Sport+ kind of day. My weapon of choice, even for everyday driving, was the Sport mode. It gives the vehicle enough edge to make it fun and exciting, but without the harshness and abrupt gear changes that would be better suited for the track. In Sport mode, the modified shifts and throttle response was sensitive enough to add immediate power but not overwhelming, especially in an urban setting. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca
