ROCK THE VIU brings new students into the fold on campus.
Vancouver Island University’s first-year students were welcomed to ‘the rock’ at Rock the VIU last week. About 600 new students turned up Thursday for the university’s annual orientation day, which featured adventure-type activities designed to familiarize new arrivals with the campus, introduce them to the faculty and staff they’ll be dealing with in coming years and get them acquainted with fellow students. Activities included campus tours guided by second-year students, a self-guided Instagram tour – in which students toured the campus, took pictures and then met up with other students to share images and observations – live music in the amphitheatre, a barbecue and even a flash mob. There were also open houses hosted by on-campus trades, academic, First Nations, arts and humanities, recreation, tourism and business and social sciences programs and facilities. Minami Nakatani came from Osaka, Japan, to study culture and communications at VIU. Nakatani said benefits of attending university in Nanaimo include Vancouver Island’s mild weather and VIU’s hospitality and business programs.

Joy Leach took over as mayor of Nanaimo in December 1990 following her election victory two weeks earlier. The city’s first female mayor, died last week at age 72.
Former mayor remembered for leadership BY TaMaRa CUNNINgHaM ThE NEwS BULLETiN
Joy Leach, Nanaimo’s first and only female mayor and a longtime school trustee, died last week at the age of 72. Leach, who helped the community envision the city it could become, died of Alzheimer’s at Nanaimo Travellers Lodge on Aug. 25. The former mayor, considered to be a gifted and accomplished political leader, was a seven-year Nanaimo school trustee and chairwoman and fundraiser for Malaspina College and Simon Fraser University. By 1990, she had thrown her hat into the mayoral race and defeated Frank Ney to become the first female mayor. Her political reign only lasted one three-year term and wasn’t without controversy, but Leach laid the foundation for major and long-lasting changes in the Harbour City. Under her leadership, Nanaimo city council introduced a new watermetering system as a source of revenue for infrastructure projects and she championed Imagine Nanaimo, a process that led to the city’s first official community plan.

The provincial Coastal Fire Centre and the city lifted a campfire ban last week that had been in place since mid July. The province lifted the ban Thursday and the city followed suit permitting cooking fires within city limits. Cooking fires within city limits are only allowed on private property, including private campground operations. There is still a ban on backyard burning and the Regional District of Nanaimo is also keeping its campfire bans in place at Descanso Bay Regional Park and Horne Lake Regional Park. Smoking is also not permitted in regional or community parks, including trails, within the regional district. “It is still dry and warm and until we receive substantial rainfall we ask the public to be very careful with cooking fires,” said Capt. Ennis Mond of Nanaimo Fire Rescue. “We also want to remind residents to be careful on how they discard smoking materials and to make sure that all burning materials are completely extinguished before disposal.”

Joy Leach also built consensus on a council that was ideologically opposed, according to Jerry Berry, Nanaimo’s former city manager, who says that merely being mayor doesn’t give someone any power, generally, over other council members. To exert leadership, “you have to do it through leadership skills, through charisma, through your personal energy and through a lot of hard work because it takes five members of council in Nanaimo to do anything,” he said. “And Joy Leach worked very, very hard at that.” “She was certainly one of the most influential Nanaimo mayors that I have ever dealt with and I’ve dealt with all of them since Frank Ney,” he said. Leach was born at Malaspina Gardens in 1941 and grew up in Parksville. Her grandfather and father had both been trustees and interested in local politics, “so she just inherited that,” said her husband, Mike Legge. By 1977, she
are all based on that same idea of consulting widely and focusing clearly and then developing a written document.” Her council also established water metering. The city had charged for water through property taxes, but there was no way to distinguish or charge those who were using a lot and vacant lots using nothing. “Nobody was using water metering … they weren’t using it to defer future capital, they weren’t using it to be environmentally friendly, so Joy Leach and her council brought in a system to do all of that, all of which is now seen as the gold standard,” Berry said. Holdom believes Nanaimo lost a gifted leader. “It just made me feel really sad. I haven’t seen her for some time and certainly have missed her and you know, now missing her will be permanent, I guess.” A celebration of life will be held Friday (Sept. 12) at 3:30 p.m. at Oliver Woods Community Centre.

First-ever Teenfest expo gets youths connected
TEACHER STRIKE doesn’t impact certain families.
A new teen expo is taking over Maffeo Sutton Park. The downtown waterfront will sport zombie paintball, DJ turntables, a half-pipe and photo booth Sept. 13 during the city’s first-ever Teenfest. The free one-day event has been offered in Victoria, Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. Now organizers want to bring the interactive business and resource showcase to young people in the Harbour City. According to co-founder Ali Berman, the event is all about empowerment and education, as well as connecting parents and teens aged 12 to 18 to community resources. She and her husband came up with the idea after realizing weren’t any expos or events for teens. “We know there’s grad fairs and career expos, but there’s nothing like what we are doing where we bring absolutely everything together under one roof,” Berman said. At the Nanaimo event, teenagers will have the chance to show their star power at a talent show where the winner will get a $250 Visa gift card. There will be interactive and educational exhibitors, workshops and information booths on everything from body image to study options, and teens can meet S.S. Segran, Amazon.com’s No. 1 bestselling author of Aegis Rising. “We all know how tough the teen years can be,” Berman said. “We want teens to find mentors, we want them to find businesses, we want them to find careers and in saying that I guess the whole premise behind Teenfest is let’s make our teens more knowledgable.” The event runs from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Sept. 13.

She said there are perks to the distributed model, as a certain amount of curriculum is provided, if it is needed, and there is government funding to pay for things like art classes and swimming lessons, which are taken with similar students in the community.

Lee will send weekly reports explaining what was taught and field trips that were taken. “She [teacher Donna Dick] pulls it all together and she writes the report cards and she’ll come to the house and see the work, talk to the kids and hear them read,” said Lee. There are things parents should know if they are considering home schooling. According to the Ministry of Education, parents that go the traditional route assume responsibility for teaching their children and the program
does not have to adhere to provincial standards. Traditional home school students will not receive provincial graduation certification. Distributed learning students, like Lee’s children, must take part in provincial and graduation examinations and students in Grade 4 and 7 are subject to the controversial Foundation Skills Assessment test. Parents wishing to enrol their children in home schooling must do so through a public, independent or distributed learning school by Sept. 30.
The online academy Lee’s children are enrolled with is independent and not affected by current teacher job action, however, Donna Reimer, spokeswoman for the Nanaimo school district, said the school district’s distributed learning program, Learn at Home K-7, is affected. Lee said the Nanaimo Community Home Learners, which provides home school support, is a good place for parents to get started. The group meets monthly at Oliver Woods Community Centre.

Mountie will take on tour’s trials Const. Ryan Blakey compelled to ride in cancer fundraiser BY CHRIS BUSH The News BulleTiN
E
very Tour de Rock rider discovers his or her limits during training. Nanaimo RCMP constable Ryan Blakey, 35, came up against his at 34 C on the steep grade of the Strathcona Parkway on a training ride up Mount Washington. “I heard someone yelling get back on the right side of the yellow line,” Blakey said. “I thought, ‘Who the heck is yelling?’” That’s when Blakey realized he was riding on the far left side of the road with no idea how he got there. Trainers coaxed him off his bike and into an air-conditioned van to cool down and hydrate. He finished the climb, but made slow progress through heat which didn’t diminish with altitude. Blakey and another rider he describes as someone who normally “crushes” hills dismounted among the last five finishers at the Mount Washington lodge where the temperature was still 33 C. Preparing for the Tour de Rock doesn’t require superhuman ability, but physical demands and time requirements for training and fundraising from the first training rides in March until the

Const. Ryan Blakey took on the challenge of training and fundraising for this year’s Tour de Rock when he decided it was too good a cause not to have a member representing Nanaimo on the 2014 ride.
tour finishes in October are gruelling and mentally and physically exhausting. Most potential participants back off upon realizing the commitment needed and for 2014 the Nanaimo RCMP didn’t have a rider to represent the Island’s largest detachment. “The final kicker, as bad as it sounds, is there was no one from the detachment who volunteered and it is way too good of a cause to not have a rider,” Blakey said. “I’ve toyed with the idea. I’ve served at the dinners. I’ve flipped burgers. I’ve done some-

thing tour-related every year.” But Blakey got strong backing from his wife, a nurse who works around cancer patients, and from RCMP Cpl. Norm Smith, a long-time tour supporter, who is han-
dling Blakey’s fundraising. Blakey, by his own admission, is an introvert and expects the toughest part of the tour will be its public relations aspect. “When I was doing my homework, I was still somewhat on the fence even though I said this is such a good cause,” Blakey said. “I don’t put myself out there… I talked to a lot of riders and a lot of riders who know me said, ‘You know, you’re going to have trouble on tour just being that shiny, happy person all the time and
that’s going to be your hardest part.’ It’s worth it.” The Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock raises money for pediatric cancer research and programs, including Camp Goodtimes, a summer camp for children with cancer.

School lockers aren’t stuffed quite enough With this year’s Stock the Lockers campaign nearing its closing date, it’s still tough to say if the drive will hit its $50,000 target. 2014 marks the fifth year Stock the Lockers has raised cash to provide school supplies and meals to underprivileged children and fund various fees, scholarships and bursaries. This year’s campaign closes Thursday (Sept. 4), and as of Friday, donations tallied about $15,000, said Erin van Steen, executive director of the Nanaimo-Ladysmith Schools Foundation. She expects a lot more money will come in by the campaign’s close. “There’s a bunch of different fundraisers still going on and I’m trying to connect with … organizations that are doing fundraising,” van Steen said. “There’s lots of stuff still going on.” On Friday, volunteers were getting the first shipments of supplies ready sent out to local schools. “We’re just going to move forward and whatever we get is awesome,” van Steen said.

ICBC rate hike a disguised tax
The provincial government announced its latest tax hike on Tuesday. As has been the case in recent years, it did so indirectly. In fact, the announcement was made by the Insurance Corporation of B.C., which plans to raise its basic rates, which all motorists must pay, by 5.2 per cent. The province is expecting to get $480 million in dividends from ICBC in the three years from 2014 to 2017, and another $1.23 billion from B.C. Hydro. Both of these massive dividend payments are on the backs of ratepayers – those who have no choice but to buy electricity from B.C. Hydro and basic auto insurance from ICBC. This is being done so the government can balance its budget and claim to be a good fiscal manager. Meanwhile, the rate increases planned by both corporations are far beyond inflation, and are disguised as being necessary “because of more claims due to distracted driving” (ICBC) and “by the need for capital expenditures” (B.C. Hydro). No one doubts that there is a need for Hydro to upgrade its power network, or for ICBC to have enough money to pay for increased claims. However, claims of balanced budgets by the B.C. Liberals really need to be dissected. The government is not running a surplus from its day-to-day operations. It would be in a constant deficit if it weren’t for these dividends from Crown corporations. Both of these corporations were set up to provide benefits to B.C. residents. Neither was set up to be an ongoing cash cow for the government. The province does get additional revenue from the B.C. Lottery Corporation and the Liquor Distribution Branch, but there is a key difference. No one has to buy a lottery ticket or go to a casino. Nor do they have to buy liquor. People are free to choose not to use the services of those organizations. Let’s acknowledge that these rate hikes are really a disguised tax increase.

Residents reject recycling depot To the Editor,
Re: Mining from recyclables becoming more efficient, Opinion, Aug. 26. I think it’s really hard to say if the way things are being recycled is actually good for the planet. More steps could be made towards meaningful recycling, which in my mind means less wasted energy to recycle something. For instance, the Nanaimo Recycling Exchange provides a shop for residents to recycle items without the need to put these things into a landfill or to ship them elsewhere. It also allows local artists and residents to use paint free of charge for their homes or for art projects. This is real recycling. This gives something back to the community.
Recently city council has allowed Regional Recycling to build a bottle depot on Old Victoria Road. The vast majority of residents nearby feel something is being taken from them (their property values, safety, quality of life) and nothing of value to them is being given in return, especially since recycling needs are met via yellow bags and the recycling at the city landfill. Bottle depots are more about making money than truly doing what is right or good for the community or the planet. Bottle depots take ‘reduce’ out of the three R’s as though it isn’t important, when in my mind ‘reduce’ is the most essential concept.

A lot has changed since Dad had his first paper route...
To the Editor,
To the Editor,
Despite all the uproar, it seems to me that the natural next step one would expect in the Polley Lake mine dam breach situation is already taking place just as it should: The B.C. government has convened an independent panel of engineers with the expertise and experience to do a forensic investigation to determine why the dam failed and how to ensure that it does not happen again. The expert panel has been given the authority to compel testimony and evidence while the minister in charge, Bill Bennett, has ordered that every tailings pond in B.C., and its associated dam, go through an extraordinary, mandatory independent inspection, to be paid for by the mining companies themselves. The company involved at the Polley Lake Mine has already started to
the road and plunk it in the middle of the unsuspecting community? Most people I’ve talked to are unaware that this is the plan. Just one lonely sign out front of the defunct trucking company announcing an amendment to the existing bylaw needs to be done in order for the depot to proceed. This bylaw amendment will have an effect on over 100 properties in the Nanaimo area. What is wrong with this picture? Does our city council not get that we do not want a recycle depot anywhere along Old Vic Road for all the same reasons that it was rejected down the road in the first place?

clean up the site and is preparing a long term remediation plan for the affected water ways. The government continues to have independent specialists conducting water and sediment contamination tests at multiple sites. Despite all of this, many special interest groups continue to sensationalise this incident and misrepresent how it is being dealt with when it is clear that all things are unfolding as they should in response to the situation.

To the Editor,
It seems to be the ‘ice bucket challenge age,’ so further to that, the challenge for the mine manager to drink the water from the Mt. Polley spill should be sent out to the environmentalists and concerned citizens to monitor and drink a sample of water along the Fraser River. It would be a movement to provide adequate guidelines and systems to correct the situation, not just to complain about the problems.

Re: Hotel project puts city on international radar, Aug. 12. Yeah right. If the Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation and the political boys even believe for a moment that their radar is actually working, well, they’re all dead wrong because it’s more than likely only picking up false images of their own egos by this hyped-up wonder project which still raises a lot more questions. The 70,000 Chinese tourists that it will draw is just the usual paint-by-numbers game, made up to generate the big wow factor Even a Las Vegas bookie would not take bets on these obvious over-bloated odds. Unless we pick up what is being put down, we will continue to be the complacent sheep being led around by the political wolves in shepherds’ clothing.

Chamber Chat Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce CEO
Kim Smythe
We often think of a legacy as something we leave our loved ones when we depart. Stick with me here, I get less depressing real fast… Let’s consider ‘legacy’ in a broader sense -- the collective title for our accomplishment, or everything we leave behind every day. These are our legacies. As we are entering the last stage of yearlong celebrations of our 125th anniversary, we’ve been seriously considering the Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce’s legacy of the last century and a quarter. The fact that some organizations predate the Chamber is a nod to the community constant that has existed for generations. The RCMP, obviously an institution and not a business, is older than we can remember. And some churches, important to our community’s culture reach back to Nanaimo’s earliest settlers. They’re all creating and leaving a legacy as they continue to do their work. Nanaimo’s business history is borne on the development, harvesting and export of its resources – coal, fishery, forests.
The legacy of that is our history of economics – the rise and fall, resurrection and evolution of business as we know it. In the last generation or so we’ve been faced with serious changes to that historic model. Nanaimo’s transition to an alternative economic base has presented some challenges. Part of the legacy of the business leaders who formed the original Chamber of Commerce is the community spirit that’s helping us overcome some of these challenges. We’ve learned, how to collaborate, form partnerships, and build on common interests in order to survive and thrive. The role of the Chamber is based on these principles. Our goal is ‘Better Community Through Better Business’ and we acknowledge there are three individual, powerful sectors of Nanaimo’s economy – private, public and not-for-profit. Opportunities unfolding in all sectors have roots that are the legacy of our early community leaders. It’s the continuing role of the Chamber, as a 125-year-old community leader, to build on the past to create tomorrow’s legacy.

NORTH NANAIMO location nearing its official opening.
The displays are up, shelves are filled and the stock is being priced in preparation for the opening of Cabela’s seventh Canadian store. The company, which started out as a Nebraskabased, mail-order supplier of fishing flies in 1961, has grown to become one of the world’s biggest outdoor sporting goods retailers where shoppers can buy everything from the latest carbine hunting rifles to pink camouflage lingerie from the company’s newest location in Dickinson Crossing in north Nanaimo. Cabela’s is continuing its tradition of presenting customers with something more than a mere sporting goods retail outlet by designing each of its stores to provide an outdoor experience that includes interactive educational kiosks, an indoor archery range and archery tech room, handpainted murals and a replica mountain range covered with museum-quality animal mounts in a retail space that feels more like the interior of a big hunting and fishing lodge. “We have buyers constantly looking for examples of fine taxidermy and there are also people who want to donate their mounts for display in our stores,” said

Nanaimo’s Cabela’s store features an indoor replica mountain range populated with museum-quality animal mounts.
Nathan Borowski, Cabela’s spokesman during a media tour of the Nanaimo store last week. The 150-member staff has been hired locally and all are keen outdoor enthusiasts and experts in their particular fields or outfitters. The company’s product lines extend to the home as well. Borowski said the idea is to offer customers the entire outdoor experience from killing game in the field to preparing recipes at home with the store’s inventory of food preparation and cooking products. Furnishings for homes and cabins are also on hand, chil-
dren’s toys, stuffed animals, air rifles, pet care and training supplies, metal detectors and other treasure hunting and gold panning supplies, plus fishing, hunting and action sports electronics products including side-scan sonar, action cams, GPS units, timepieces and laser rangefinders. Cabela’s tailors its products, and to some extent even its interior decor, to local markets. Wall photos and painted murals depict images of Island locations, such as the Cowichan River, and are displayed in the fly fishing shop. The Nanaimo store has one of the chain’s largest selections of saltwater fishing gear and also boasts what is likely the Island’s most comprehensive stock of Islander Precision Reels, manufactured on the Island. Products carried represent those that were in high demand by Cabela’s existing online customer base in the mid-Island region. The store even has a fudge shop. Cabela’s hosts its official grand opening in Nanaimo Sept. 11 starting at 10:45 a.m. that will culminate with the ribbon being cut by an arrow shot from a bow, triggering a weekend-long celebration highlighted by special appearances, family events, giveaways and more. A complete schedule of events, when finalized, will be available on the company website at www.cabelas.ca/ stores.

The retail rate for an hour of weightless solitude is $65, but discounts for all services are available through memberships and other grant programs.

Summer Games having come and gone, sport tourism in the Nanaimo region is receiving more attention than ever. There’s plenty to experience in the Nanaimo sport scene. Nanaimo Clippers hockey, Vancouver Island Raiders football, Timbermen lacrosse and Vancouver Island Baseball Institute Mariners baseball are only four of a great many sport organizations in the region. While these are great attractions for spectators to experience, ours is a backyard filled with nearly countless opportunities for any visitor or local to participate in sport. Our natural environment and ocean-facing location lend themselves to an array of outdoor sporting, while our established facility infrastructure allows Nanaimo to host a great variety sporting events year round. On Aug. 18, Nanaimo city council endorsed a sport tourism hosting policy that outlines the roles and responsibilities between the City of Nanaimo and Tourism Nanaimo with respect to sport tourism development. At the helm of this direction will be Tourism Nanaimo, having taken responsibility for sport tourism as of the end of 2013. Tourism Nanaimo is in the process of preparing a three-year sport tourism plan that will outline the strategic goals for sport tourism, tactical marketing, promotion and sales activities to be undertaken. Nanaimo has some excellent sporting facilities and infrastructure, and the plan will examine existing infrastructure, accommodation
and hosting capacity. The sport tourism plan will focus partly on providing tools and assistance for local organizations to support bringing events to the region. This includes assistance with bid development, media relations, and visitor information servicing. Additionally, Tourism Nanaimo will be participating in conferences where leads will be identified for large event bid opportunities. Finally, beginning in 2015 the sport tourism grants program will be transferred from the City to Tourism Nanaimo. With that transition, Tourism Nanaimo will be developing a new section on its website where information on sport tourism can be found. Local sporting organizations seeking information on program criteria, application documents and bid development support will be able to find information at www. tourismnanaimo.com/sport within the upcoming months. Tourism Nanaimo would like to express appreciation and gratitude for Nanaimo’s sporting groups, which champion events, and continually volunteer their time to develop Nanaimo as a strong sporting destination.

Stuntman finds success in stand-up
“
Steve-O’s desire to be the centre of attention continues to fuel career
You know you got a problem when Johnny Knoxville is your interventionist.
BY NICHOLAS PESCOD THE NEWS BULLETIN
I
n 1987, Steve-O was a teenager on a mission in Toronto. Mötley Crüe was playing at Maple Leaf Gardens and he was determined to find out at what hotel the superstars were staying. After endless phone calls to various hotels in the city, Steve-O successfully reached the band’s management, who were so impressed that they invited him to meet the band. “In my life that was a really big landmark,” Steve-O told the News Bulletin. “I had an attitude that I could accomplish a lot of things, but when I pulled that off I just developed an attitude that I can accomplish anything I damn well want to in my life.” It was that attitude combined with an insatiable appetite for attention that would help launch Steve-O to fame as a stuntman, prankster and comedian with the hit television and movie franchise, Jackass, which included Johnny Knoxville and Bam Margera. “Everything I have done has been driven by an unreasonable need for attention,” Steve-O said. On Sunday (Sept. 7) the Jackass star turned standup comedian will be the centre of attention as he performs his routine at the Port Theatre as part of his Entirely Too Much Information tour. “I would describe it as first and foremost as vigorously honest,” Steve-O said. “I don’t bullshit anybody. My life has been outrageous enough where I don’t have to bend the truth.” Long before Steve-O was stapling his manhood to his leg and snorting wasabi as a member of Jackass, he was a 15-year-old kid who filmed himself skateboarding and doing various stunts with his father’s video camera. His need for attention and desire to become a serious stuntman led him to the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Clown College.

Shortly afterwards, Steve-O decided to take a serious run at standup comedy. He credits Dane Cook for helping him hone his craft as a standup comedian. “Dane Cook really took me under his wing and served as a mentor to me in a really meaningful way ... we would sit down and he would give me notes,” Steve-O explained. “The first note he gave me was I am not sending you back to the drawing board, which was his way of saying my material was funny and that really put the wind in my sails.” Just recently, Steve-O made headlines after he released a YouTube video, which showed him defacing a freeway sign in southern California in a protest about SeaWorld. The prankster also criticized celebrities who participated in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge on Instagram, stating that they weren’t sharing information about the disease to their fans. “They weren’t really doing anything. They were just dumping water over their head and that was it,” Steve-O explained. “I never would have imagined that bitching about something like that could be so well received.” To his credit, Steve-O participated in the challenge and donated $1,000 to the cause. “I think I am one of the few people who looked it up and got educated about it,” he said. After being clean and sober for eight years now, Steve-O said he is still the same person that he has always been. “I didn’t loose anything in the way of my sense of humour and my sensibility,” he said. “I am still a maniac.” For more information, please visit www.portheatre.com. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

general manager, after her predecessor, Daurel Neve retired earlier this year. “It is kind of cool to come back and take on the responsibilities of a GM.” The appointment takes Desprez full-circle. In 1984, Desprez was managing the box office, bar and front of house for TheatreOne, which at the time was known as Shakespeare Plus. After working for a couple years there, Desprez became the general manager at the Belfry Theatre in Victoria, where she worked for nearly 25 years. “It’s a great job and helping the artists tell great stories is a real thrill,” Desprez said. During her time at the Belfry, Desprez oversaw multiple campaigns, which raised a total of $5.5 million and went towards renovations on the building. As general manager, Desprez is hoping to use her experiences in Victoria to help grow TheatreOne. “Growing the company is the goal and that is something that I enjoy doing,” she said. “Working towards growing the budget, growing the company so that the artistic director can chose to do more shows, we can employ more artists, more production people, more carpenters, build up the staff ... that is the longer-term goal.” Desprez is hoping the Port Theatre’s proposed Community Performing Arts Centre, which includes multiple rehearsal spaces available to the community, is approved. “That is really exciting. I am hoping that it goes forward. That would be a huge asset to Nanaimo and certainly thrilling for TheatreOne to be a part of that,” Desprez said. “Right now rehearsal venues are very challenging to find for a lot of the organizations, so it will be a central focus, if not all, for most of the performing arts in Nanaimo.” arts@nanaimobulletin.com

DANCE & MUSIC
Music can help kids with school skills completed at Stanford University showed that mastering a musical instrument improves the ability to process parts of the spoken language. The researchers believe that additional research might develop a way to use the knowledge obtained in the study to increase language develop-
ment for individuals with dyslexia or cognitive disorders. In many schools, music education is being drastically reduced or eliminated. Parents may want to look outside the classroom for music instruction or play more music at home.

Fin
Music’s efficacy as a teaching tool has long been studied. Though some still doubt if music has any effect on student performance, a strong body of evidence suggests otherwise. Studies into the effects of music on learning are nothing new. Such studies have been conducted for decades, gaining popularity during the 1950s when research was done on something called the “Mozart Effect.” The Mozart Effect theorizes that listening to Mozart can temporarily improve performance and may even boost a person’s IQ. Ongoing research continues to support the theory that music education can help children on many levels. In Canada, a research group from McMaster University conducted their own study into music education. That study, which was published in the journal Brain in 2006, examined two groups of children, ages 4 to 6. Each were taught the same lessons, but one group was also given musical instruction. The study found that the group of children who received musical instruction scored much better than their peers in literacy, mathematics, IQ, and memory skills. Music education is not just for the average student. Other research shows it may be beneficial to children with dyslexia and other learning disabilities. A study

FITNESS & HEALTH School bus safety for kindergarteners FALL 2014
A kindergartener’s first day of school is a day to cherish. There are so many firsts to experience, from wearing a backpack for the first time to making new friends to riding on a school bus. All of these firsts can be exciting and overwhelming at the same time. For many youngsters, school marks the first time they are away from their parents for an extended period of time. As a result,
a few weeks prior to the first day of school to gauge their reactions and plan accordingly. Many school districts and transportation companies, like the North Penn School District Transportation Department in Pennsylvania, host annual events that help introduce kindergartenersto-be to the school bus. Children are encouraged to enter the bus and learn about all of the equipment. The students
safety concerns -- especially concerning transportation to and from school -- is foremost on the minds of many parents. School bus safety is something that should be presented to children in terms they can understand. Riding on a school bus is often a fun experience for kids, but the prospect of leaving Mom or Dad behind at the curb can spark mixed feelings. It is best to prepare students for the school bus
LADIES’ HOCKEY
also may be given a short ride around town, and safety information is typically included. If the school district where you are living does not host a special orientation day for children entering kindergarten, see if you can arrange to have a bus tour by contacting a bus company in the area. Although safety tips may be covered at orientation, it is a good idea to reinforce lessons at home in preparation for the first day of school. Here are some important topics to go over. * Walk to the bus using a sidewalk if there is one. If
no sidewalk is present, walk on the opposite side of the street facing oncoming traffic. * Wait for the bus at the designated stop. Don’t wander away. * Do not go into the street while waiting for the bus to arrive. * Do not roughhouse or run around with friends while waiting for the bus to arrive. * Wait for the bus a safe distance away from the street until the bus stops and opens the door. * Walk one-by-one onto the bus. Do not push or crowd the doorway.
* Once on the bus, quickly find a seat and sit down. * If there is a seatbelt, fasten it. (Children should be familiar with how to latch a seatbelt.) * Do not put your head, arms or anything else out of the bus window. * Keep the bus aisle clear of backpacks or other items. * Keep voices down so not to distract the driver. * Listen to the driver. * Do not throw things on the bus. * Unbuckle your seatbelt only when the bus has stopped at the school (or your stop at home)

Getting fit goes beyond lifting weights For those who aren’t fitness fanatics, getting back in shape is a goal to strive for. Though rates of overweight and obesity are high, society has also grown increasingly health-conscious in the last 10-20 years, as the growing
number of gyms and other fitness centers can attest. Still, for those hoping to shed a few extra pounds, the first step toward doing so can be the hardest. Many instantly think of the oft-intimidating nature

David John Weston
15 April 1935 to 11 August 2014 David left this world in the early morning of August 11, 2014 at the age of 79 after a long struggle with cancer and dementia. He was predeceased by his brother Peter and his parents Lewis and Iris in the UK. He is survived by his son Lewis, stepsons Jacob and Mironel, daughters Deborah and Annalee, grandchildren Katherine, Tyler and Rebecca in Canada, and nieces and nephews in Northern Ireland, as well as many friends in Canada and England. David was born in Plymouth, England in 1935 where he survived the Blitz of southern England during his childhood. He grew up in England, Malta, Scotland and Northern Ireland. He came to Canada in his 20’s to study economics and politics in Ottawa where he worked as an assistant to the leader of the federal NDP in the 1960s. He lived in Winnipeg and Vancouver before moving to Nanaimo in 1979. He was an adult educator, co-op organizer, community exchange trading systems pioneer, newspaper columnist and letter writer, local cable TV producer and interviewer, Global Village (NIDEA) director, Council of Canadians member, Green Party member since 1983, and Island Roots Market Co-op founding member. In 1984 he went back to England to study Community Economics and International Development at Ruskin College in Oxford. He got a master’s degree in Sustainable Community Development from Oxford Brookes University in 1991, and became an instructor at SFU in 1992. He also did research in Cohousing. His interest in co-ops took him to China, Spain and Cuba. In Nanaimo, David organized many events focused on practical ways to help us be more sustainable. He was an ardent supporter of the E&N Railway. David helped to create and lived at the PaciďŹ c Gardens Cohousing community and was an enthusiastic member of the Unitarian Fellowship of Nanaimo, as well as a regular at the Nanaimo Folk Connection folk music society. He was a passionate social justice and environmental advocate. He was also a musician, poet, calligrapher, pilot, sailor, punster and inventor of games. Family and friends would like to thank the PaciďŹ c Gardens Cohousing community for their loving care of David. Thank you, too, to all the wonderful caregivers at Dufferin Place for making David’s last days comfortable. A service to honour and remember David is at 2 pm, Sat. Sept. 6, 2014 at the Unitarian Hall, 595 Townsite Road, Nanaimo, followed by a ďŹ nger food potluck reception. Donations in lieu of owers can be made in David’s memory to the Unitarian Fellowship of Nanaimo, or the charity or political party of your choice.

VIU soccer takes field BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN
It’s kind of like getting a pop quiz the first week back in school. The VIU Mariners men’s and women’s soccer teams jump right into the regular season on the second day of the semester Wednesday (Sept. 3) with road games against the Quest Kermodes. “The whole team is meshing really well, which is very exciting…” said Shelby Walker, goalkeeper on VIU’s women’s team. “I feel like we’re really prepared to go into it and play Quest hard.” Coach Anup Kang has liked the way his team has practised and played in the preseason. “The girls are really focused; our core group is leading the way,” he said. “They’ve done a lot of hard work in the off-season so now they’re starting to see the rewards from it when we go on the field.” There are seven new players, and all “have really good touch on their feet” and good skill, said Walker. Notably, Bronte Fitzsimmons, a former Golden Boot winner, is back after a couple of seasons in the U.S. Kang said the Mariners women can be right there with the top teams in the Pacific Western Athletic Association, but the key will be health, a factor that troubled the team a year ago.

Vancouver Island University Mariners player Zoe Grace, right, looks to pass the ball during a friendly against Total Soccer Systems on Thursday afternoon at Merle Logan Field. The M’s won 2-0.
Walker said she thinks with the depth this year, that won’t be as much of an issue. “There isn’t a starting 11,” she said. “Everybody on our team has their own skill that they can bring to the team. So we’re not worried – if there’s an injury, we’ve got someone else.” Kang agreed the VIU women will be a versatile group, and said that will also allow his
side to attack the opposition in different ways. After missing out on provincials in Nanaimo a year ago, the team hopes to return to playoff contention. “We’re looking forward to it,” the coach said. “We’ve been waiting for this since the end of last year.” The Mariners men will also have a new-look lineup. Farhad Abdulgani had been slated to

take over the captaincy this year, but was forced to leave Nanaimo due to family reasons. The M’s still have a roster stacked with skill. Newcomer Victor Blasco will be one of the league’s top players lining up on the wide left side and Jordan de Graaf returns to the team after a year away and will be a leader in the midfield.

The Nanaimo Clippers have a fresh sheet of ice and a brand-new hockey season to look forward to. The city’s B.C. Hockey League club starts skating for the first time today (Sept. 2) as it opens training camp for 2014-15. “Lots of new faces again, as it is every year at our level,” said Mike Vandekamp, coach and general manager of the Clippers. “But at the same time, it’s a great core to build around and we’re excited to get started.” The Clippers assembled Monday for off-ice fitness testing and Vandekamp said it’s always interesting to observe. “You see leadership show through already from Day 1 – guys that pop out of the crowd and say, ‘I want to be a leader.’ And work ethic, enthusiasm and passion. You see a lot on that day, to be honest,” he said.

Golfer wins juvenile title An up-and-coming Nanaimo golfer won a major for her level. Shirin Anjarwalla won the B.C. Golf juvenile girls’ championship Thursday at Royalwood Golf Course in Chilliwack. She shot a one-under par 72 on her third and final round. The 14-year-old made 15 birdies at the tourney and ended up with scores of 68-6772. “I played really good; I think my first two rounds were the best I’ve ever played so I was really proud of myself,” said Anjarwalla in a B.C. Golf press release. When Team Canada member Naomi Ko began to close in, Anjarwalla changed her approach. “I was just thinking ‘OK, don’t try to play so aggressive, just try to make your pars. If birdies fall then they’ll fall, but don’t play just for birdies.’ I was just trying to stay to my game plan and keep steady,” she said.

Buccaneers end pre-season The Nanaimo Buccaneers finished the pre-season and are now looking forward to facing off for real. The city’s junior B hockey team played exhibitions Friday at home against the Oceanside Generals and Sunday up Island against the Comox Valley Glacier Kings. The games were played after press time. The Bucs start the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League season Thursday (Sept. 4) when the Gens visit the Nanaimo Ice Centre for a 7:15 p.m. start. Look for more on the team next issue.
Player, coach represent B.C. A Nanaimo hockey player will wear the Team B.C. logo at the Canada Winter Games next year. Danielly Hardy was selected to the province’s U18 team through her participation in B.C. Hockey’s highperformance program. The Games will be held starting Feb. 13 in Prince George. “We’ve assembled a terrific staff and great team of young players who are all thrilled to compete at the Canada Winter Games,” said Nancy Wilson, B.C. Hockey’s director of operations. Nanaimo’s Christina Sharun will be an assistant coach for Team B.C.

The fitness testing consisted of a series of physical challenges that encouraged competition. “If we have 30 guys in camp and if you finish 30th, it’s probably not a good place to start,” Vandekamp said. “They guy that finishes first is making a pretty big statement with regards to where he’s at with his commitment level.” Today (Sept. 2) the focus shifts onto the ice. The coach said the Clippers are keeping camp numbers relatively small this year. “We’re going to be able to get to work on team comcepts and systems right away,” he said. “We intend on doing that right from the very first day, but we’re going to set the tone on the work ethic side, too.” New assistant coach Blake Clement said he looks forward to seeing players compete at camp. “Some guys are still trying to get jobs, right? So it’s an internal battle [if] you want to make this team,” he said. “I know some guys are probably a shoo-in already, but there’s some guys fighting and you’ve got to have that killer instinct early.” Vandekamp said he was able to recruit the sort of

players he was looking for this off-season. “Up front, our focus was to add as much speed and skill as we could,” he said. “The game is headed in that direction; it has been for a long time.” On defence, the coach said some key returnees will be joined by players who have good size and mobility, but who will have to adjust to the league. In goal, major junior veteran Guillaume Decelles enters camp as the prospective No. 1 and Vandekamp said it shouldn’t take long for him to earn his teammates’ confidence.
Training camp serves a lot of different purposes. Coaches will evaluate and go over X’s and O’s. Players will bond and build chemistry. And it will be a physical challenge, one that will “separate the men from the boys,” the coach said. “We’ve got to put some pressure and some heat on the boys right away to see who can handle it,” said Vandekamp. GAME ON … The team’s first pre-season game is Saturday (Sept. 6) versus the Victoria Grizzlies at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena. The BCHL season starts Sept. 19. sports@nanaimobulletin.com
VIU men have skill, need to add grit From /34
Bill Merriman, coach of the M’s men’s soccer team, said he’s happy with the way the squad has looked through the pre-season. “I think you’ll see a lot more keeping possession and moving the ball,” he said. “Our talent, as far as technical ability, is
quite high this year.” The next step will be to ensure that the guys play with the requisite work rate. “[We’re] very, very talented, skilled,” he said. “In the past, VIU’s always been very gritty and hardnosed, winning balls, and that’s something we’re going to have to work on.”
