Councillors support $12-million Port Theatre expansion BY TAMARA CUNNINGHAM THE NEWS BULLETIN
The City of Nanaimo will chip in $4.6 million for a new community performing arts centre. Nanaimo city councillors voted 8-1 Monday to partner with the Port Theatre Society on building a multimillion-dollar performing arts facility. Plans for a four-level and 19,000-square-foot performing arts centre were shelved in 2009 after the Port Theatre Society was denied $7.8 million from senior levels of government, but have been revived this year. Theatre manager Bruce Halliday says the time is right to try again. There’s corporate interest in naming rights, the potential for fed-

eral dollars and more energy in the Harbour City around arts and culture than ever before, he said. An in-house survey done by the Port Theatre Society also shows 82 per cent of respondents support building the proposed $12-million centre, which Halliday says would
be more suited to smaller events than the current 800-seat theatre. Under the new partnership, the city has agreed to co-sign for a $2-million line of credit and contribute $4.6 million to the initiative. The money will be contingent on the Port Theatre Society raising the remaining $8 million for the facility, and the city will seek grants to help offset the cost. “I think that the City of Nanaimo is ready now to do this project and I really don’t want to see this item on an agenda 15 years hence with a city council debating whether or not we support a performing arts centre for Nanaimo,” said Coun. Diane Brennan.

Lantzville’s mayor signed off on a watersupply agreement with the City of Nanaimo, despite concerns the move comes too soon. Lantzville council approved a 20-year water supply deal with Nanaimo on Monday in a 5-2 vote, without prior public notice and shortly after releasing the full, renegotiated agreement to residents for the first time. According to Coun. Brian Dempsey, who proposed the motion, there was no good reason to put off signing the document immediately. The two municipalities have been finalizing a water-supply deal for more than a year, which would allow water to be piped to 225 homes in upper Lantzville at a $1.3-million connection cost. It would also allow for 50 new development hookups each year and the potential for another 211 homes on private wells to connect in the future. By agreeing to the terms, Lantzville isn’t required to transfer money until the pipeline is built and connected and could end the deal with no penalty if it finds another source of water, Dempsey said, adding once signed, the City of Nanaimo is committed. “Public information meetings can be scheduled later,” he said. “This is a time for council to show leadership.” Mayor Jack de Jong pointed out that this is an opportunity that doesn’t come very often and it’s likely the best arrangement the district would be able to negotiate. But Coun. Denise Haime opposed the move, asking councillors to give residents time to review the document. See ‘COUNCILLOR’ /5

MPs seeking aquaculture feedback
I
NEW rEguLATioNS will aim to increase production at the same time as protecting environment. By Karl yu The News bulleTiN
Public consultation related to proposed Fisheries and Oceans Canada aquaculture regulations has begun. Minister of State John Duncan was in Nanaimo Tuesday for a roundtable with aquaculture stakeholders and to mark the start of information sessions on the Aquaculture Activities Regulations proposal, which the fisheries department hopes increases sustainable aquaculture production in the country while protecting the environment. Duncan said the stakeholders, which consisted of First Nations and shellfish and salmon farming representatives, stated that the shellfish sector in the Pacific region has had negative one-per cent growth in the last 13 years, while the salmon farming sector has “essentially flatlined.”
Regulatory burden was pointed to as a hindrance, he said. “ C u r re n t l y, t h e aquaculture sector is regulated by 10 different federal acts ... the Government of Canada is undertaking regulatory reform to streamline and simplify the current regulator y regime and ensure that it operates in an envi-
ronmentally sustainable manner,” Duncan said, adding that the first step was the pre-publication of the proposal online. In terms of the environment, the proposed regulations would add three new conditions to existing rules. Aquaculture operators would have to provide written repor t s det aili ng alternatives before using regulated pesticides or drugs. Mitigation would have to be in place to minimize

Interest high in job fair A Nanaimo medical marijuana producer is continuing to see high interest from job seekers. Tilray saw more than 250 resumes for positions at its Duke Point medical marijuana facility during a recent job fair this week. The company, which hired 85 people since opening earlier this year, was looking to boost numbers to 130.
Philippe Lucas, vice-president of patient research and services, said the company is finding out as it goes along just how many people it needs at the facility and it is pleased to see a lot of people showing interest in working there. Positions were available in horticulture, customer service and maintenance.
Support makes theatre priority From /1
Brennan voted in support of the partnership. Coun. Fred Pattje, who made the motion, called the financial contribution a chance for the city to put its money where its mouth is after completing a strategic and cultural plan, while Coun.
George Anderson called it “a step forward in our cultural aspirations.” Coun. Bill McKay opposed the motion, saying he’d feel better if it was done with the blessing of the entire community. The project saw public consultation last spring. The city’s planned contribution

Councillor wants public hearings From /1
“This council agreed to hold public meetings and consult prior to approving the water agreement. Council promised this consultation for more than 14 months in council meetings, council letters to residents, community updates and statements made to the media,” Haime said, in a statement. “By passing the water agree-
ment without any consultation whatsoever this council has betrayed the trust of and displayed a shocking lack of respect toward the people of Lantzville.” The District of Lantzville has been looking for additional supply as it grapples with stagnant growth, contaminated private wells and limited water supply. In early August it saw the City
of Nanaimo agree to altered terms for a final agreement. The district approved the release of the document and memorandum of understanding Monday, as well as the signing of the deal. Resident John Halliwell said he thought a decision could have been delayed. “I don’t know what the panic is to have passed it through today,” he said. “I
would have liked to have seen this agreement way before you voted on it and OK’d.” But Bob Colclough, former superintendent of public works for the Lantzville Improvement District, didn’t see any reason not to sign. A meeting is expected next week to talk about next steps. news@nanaimobulletin.com
District sells former school The new owner of the Princess Royal Elementary School building has no current plans to evict tenants. The Nanaimo school district board approved sale of the Irwin Street school to Tardon Developments Inc. for $900,000 at a meeting last week. The school was closed in 2004 and current tenants include the Vancouver Island Health Authority and Jolly Giant Childcare. While Tardon Developments could not be reached for comment,
Lorne Gait, the realtor representing the company, said Tardon supports the communityminded efforts of the childcare centre and the health authority. “If the tenants eventually leave, not that that’s in the plan today, but if they eventually leave, all future plans will involve supporting children and families in the community. So it’s not going to be torn down to put a big development up,” said Gait. Phil Turin, school district secretar ytreasurer, said the
school was identified as a property for sale in the board’s asset management plan. The $900,000 would go into the school board’s local capital fund to be used for future construction of school facilities. “Right now, [the money] is not earmarked for anything,” said Turn. “I will be providing a recommendation to the board and that will happen when we deliver the financials.” The appraised value of the property was $985,000.

OBJECTION TO REGISTRATION OF AN ELECTOR
Lantzville residents will decide just how much political representation they want when they head to the polls this year. District of Lantzville politicians will put the issue of downsizing council to referendum in the upcoming civic election. In a 4-3 vote Monday, politicians passed third reading of a bylaw to change political representation required under the B.C. Community Charter, and approved a referendum question. Residents will be asked if the size of council should be cut back from a mayor and six councillors to a mayor and four. Changes would take effect in 2018. The question was first posed this year by Coun. Jennifer Millbank who pointed out that while the municipality is the size of a town that requires only five represen-
tatives, its geographic area and designation as a district mandates it to elect seven. As a result, the district has the same representation as an urban centre of 50,000, according to Millbank, who questioned if it’s necessary when most of the district is undeveloped. Cutting two seats from council could mean “fairly significant” cost savings and improved governance, she said. But the issue isn’t without opposition. Coun. Brian Dempsey wants to continue to see the chance for broad representation, and believes a smaller council would reduce the opportunity for people to consider running for council. Coun. Graham Savage calls the potential downsize a negative move, but said he has no objection to the issue going to referendum.
Public forum will introduce election candidates A public forum aims to introduce new civic election candidates to residents. Community organization Progressive Nanaimo has announced a public forum at the Beban Park Social Centre on Wednesday (Sept. 17), 6:30 p.m., which will see candidates new to a civic election
race introduce themselves and answer residents’ questions. According to the group, the event can include any candidate who has declared intentions to run or who is contemplating entering the race Nov. 15 and has not previously held office. All members of the public are invited to attend.

EDITORIAL
Cougars prowl all around us We’re lucky, in Nanaimo, that the wilderness is our backyard, our front yard, and all around us. We like most of the wildlife we encounter in the woods, but cougars haven’t necessarily been good neighbours lately. One of them snatched away someone’s pet dog last week up Mount Benson near Witchcraft Lake. There have been a number of cougar sightings around the city this year, but whether the big cats are noticed or not, they’re there. Conservation officers say Vancouver Island has a “high-density” cougar population. Anecdotally, at least, encounters with the cats seem to be on the rise. It’s caused some people to rethink their outdoor recreation, but we shouldn’t be so much scared, as aware. It’s worthwhile knowing conventional cougar wisdom. If we see one creeping up, we should draw ourselves up to our full height, throw rocks and sticks and give it a thorough scolding. Bear spray can be effective. If a fierce feline attacks, we should fight back with indiscriminate violence. As for our pooches, unfortunately they can look like prey to a carnivorous cat and we’re best to let them fend for themselves. In the backwoods there are a lot of beasts and sometimes they might trespass on our trails, but they have almost as much right to be there as we do. We’re bound to come across them now and then and really, there’s only a remote risk of any of those encounters deteriorating into a bad day. The great outdoors is our city’s best attribute and we can continue to enjoy it to its fullest as long as we’re cougar smart rather than cougar scared. Grumpy cats aren’t just an hilarious Internet sensation – they’re all around us in Nanaimo. With cougars on the prowl, we hope people will be wary when they venture into the woods.

accelerates. Largely drowned out by the noise of 1970s-style industrial labour strife, the B.C. public school curriculum is being refashioned for this new age. Among its goals is to “allow teachers and students the flexibility to personalize their learning experience to better meet each student’s individual strengths and needs.” One of B.C.’s early models for self-directed learning is Thomas Haney secondary in Maple Ridge. It was here that the first couple of Grade 12 students showed up last week to begin making up for lost time from the strike that set in last spring. Self-directed study has become a crash course. In the short term, Fassbender says the lost strike days will likely have to be restored to the school schedule. “Do you put it on at the end of the year? Do you take it out of spring break? Do you take it out of Christmas holidays? My staff are looking at all of the options,” Fassbender said. In the longer term, the whole factory model of school is on the way out. u Tom Fletcher is a columnist and legislative reporter for Black Press.

This appears to be another end run around the normal process of scrutiny to determine which proposals are really a community priority. Since when is a rehearsal hall a priority over the long-delayed fire hall at Hammond Bay? Or any number of other higher city needs?

To the Editor,
Re: Appeal of class-size ruling next month, Sept. 4. The front-page picture shows a little girl holding a sign, “Honk for public education,” while on the picket line with her parents. This five-year-old has no idea what the fuss is all about, except what she hears from her parents which, looking at the sign she is carrying, is hardly a balanced point of view. There is no place for this little girl on the picket line, holding a sign planted in her hands. She should be allowed to play with her toys, instead of being used as a pawn in a conflict of which she has no understanding.

Re: Education model requires change, Opinion, Sept. 9. The guest comment in Tuesday’s paper was spot on – with one exception. The writer left out ordinary taxpayers who are neither parents nor teachers. Yet we have a major financial stake in supporting the educational system. I’d suggest that we should recognize that we taxpayers have a financial responsibility to support a first-class education for B.C. students so that they can, in turn, contribute to society. But we should also demand from those who provide that education full accountability and value for money.

Good Samaritan helps contain fire
I
trEatEd for smoke inhalation.
By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN
A man’s attempt to contain a fire landed him in the hospital last week. Mark Richardson, 43, and his family were driving on Departure Bay Road Friday afternoon when they saw black smoke and decided to investigate. When they arrived at the scene, they found a pleasure craft on fire in the driveway of a home on Cilaire Drive. When the fire spread to a trailer parked next to the burning boat, the balcony of the house and bushes, Richardson grabbed a garden hose to try to contain the fire. He said witnesses then got a dog out of the house, which Richardson’s girl-

R i c h a rd s o n w a s still hosing down the area when fire crews arrived. “I was wedged in between where the balcony was and the boat and they told me to get the hell out of there,” Richardson said. Richardson said the situation was especially frightening when the heat
caused trailer tires to explode. “I was just shaking like a leaf,” Richardson said. “The ambulance guys said, ‘Are you all right?’ and I’m like, ‘Oh, yeah. I’m fine,’ and then I walk back to the Jeep to pet the dog and then that was it. I was toast.” Richardson was taken to Nanaimo Regional General Hospital where he spent more than two
hours being treated for smoke inhalation. “I was just coughing up some black, chunky stuff,” Richardson said. “My face got a little burnt. It wasn’t anything drastic.” Craig Richardson, chief of Nanaimo Fire Rescue, praised Mark Richardson’s actions and said fire department management were only made aware of his efforts Tuesday after speaking with fire investigators. “We were just made aware that the civilian made some interventions on fighting the fire and apparently a dog was rescued and we just wanted acknowledge him and say thanks,” Craig R i c h a rd s o n s a i d . “Although there was some risk involved and, although we don’t always encourage people to intervene in dangerous situations, in this case his action helped the outcome.”
Pursuant to Sections 890, 891, and 892 of the Local Government Act, we advise you that a public hearing has been rescheduled in your area with respect to the proposed “Regional District of Nanaimo Land Use and Subdivision Amendment Bylaw No. 500.393, 2014” and will be held: Tuesday, September 16, 2014 Room #1 – Beban Social Centre, 2300 Bowen Road, Nanaimo 6:30 pm
What is the Zoning Amendment about? To rezone the property located at 3119 Jameson Road as outlined in bold on the map below from Rural 1 Zone, Subdivision District ‘D’ to Rural 1 Zone, Subdivision District ‘F’ in order to permit a future subdivision.

Blasting needed to move sewer line
I
rDN ExpEctS little disruption to traffic on Cedar Road. By Karl yu The News BulleTiN
Windley Contracting Ltd. has been awarded a $412,028 contract to relocate the sewer line at the Regional District of Nanaimo landfill. The line is currently located on landfill property and according to Larry Gardner, regional district manager of solid waste, it will be moved to a right-of-way on Cedar Road. Windley was awarded the tender as its bid represented the lowest out of all proponents.
Work will require deep excavation, including blasting to remove a significant amount of rock. A $50,000 contingency will be available to cover any unforeseen issues “All we did in the report to the board was just to advise them that because of the complexity with this project, there’s some added risk and we’re just identifying that there is the potential for cost overruns, because there are some things we don’t know, but what we believe is that we don’t anticipate them to exceed that $50,000,� Gardner said. George Hrabowych, project manager with Herold Engineering Ltd., who acted as consultant to the regional district, said the blasting is
standard and will be done to create a trench. “Generally it’s a deep excavation, it’s about eight metres and there is in places, seven metres of rock, so [Windley Contracting] will be employing a blaster and all work is done in accordance with industry standards, B.C. regulations and [WorkSafe B.C.],� said Hrabowych, adding the impact on traffic on Cedar Road will be minimal. “The only implication is it will stop traffic,� Hrabowych said. “Before they blast there will be a two-minute warning and the thing will boom and [they] will let traffic go again.� Construction is expected to begin on Sept. 15 and last 17 weeks.

VIU STUDENTS earn $1,500 scholarships from society.
Nanaimo resident Matt Miller and fellow VIU student Ashley Stocks are two of the four scholarship recipients from the Freshwater Fisheries Society of B.C. This year’s winners will each receive $1,500. Scholarships are available to students enrolled in fish culture or fisheries management programs in B.C. Winners were selected based on a variety of criteria, including a short essay outlining how their experiences, interests and education will positively impact B.C.’s freshwater recreational fisheries upon graduation. Miller grew up fishing with his dad and cultivating a strong connection to nature. As a result he his enrolled in the Bachelor of Science in Fisheries and Aquaculture

Cadet earns top award at summer camp Cadet Jaelyn Argue of Nanaimo was recognized as the best cadet in the six-week drill and ceremonial instructor course at Vernon Cadet Summer Training Centre this summer. Argue is a member of 2422 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps (Canadian Scottish Regiment). Argue was enrolled in the six-week course where the cadets not only perfected their individual drill, but also learned to teach younger cadets at their home corps. During the summer they formed Quarter Guards to welcome dignitaries to the centre, and provided flag parties for all parades. For the final parade and sunset ceremony, the cadets in the Drill and Ceremonial Course formed the guard and fired the Feu de Joie, a rapid sequence of blank rounds. After the final parade, the cadets made their way to their homes in Western Canada. During the summer, 1,300 army, sea and air cadets from western Canada will have spent up to six weeks in the Okanagan Valley centre, expanding the training they receive at their home corps, developing new skills and forming friendships.

INFORMATION
H.J. Pat Barron “Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings‌. - excerpt from “High Flightâ€?, by John Gillespie Magee, Jr. H.J. Pat Barron, born March 12, 1917 in Swansea, South Wales, passed away peacefully on Sunday morning, August 31, 2014 at Dover House in Nanaimo. He is survived by his loving wife Barbara, by his children Deirdre, John, Michael, Patty, Brian, Sheila, Megan, Siobhan, Moira, and Kevin, by his sixteen grandchildren and five great-grandchildren, along with his cousins in Ireland and extended family in Luxembourg. Pat’s early life was spent in Ireland. He lived with his grandparents while attending school and it was during those formative years that he developed a passion for justice and fairness. These principles guided his long life and can be summed up by a phrase he often quoted: “Salus populi suprema lex estoâ€?, or in English: “The good of the people is the supreme lawâ€?. This motto would underline much of his later interest in provincial and municipal issues. When the war broke out in 1939, Pat turned his other passion of flying into becoming a bomber pilot for the Royal Air Force (226 B Squadron). He was wounded in action on May 10, 1940, while piloting his bomber aircraft over Luxembourg. For his valour, Pat was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross by King George VI, and, in 1994, the town of Mondorf-les-Bains made him an honorary citizen. During the war Pat and his first wife, Rosemary Tollady, moved to Canada where he trained RCAF pilots in Ontario, New Brunswick and Quebec. In 1944, he moved his family (with daughter Deirdre and son John) to San Diego to pursue a career as a commercial pilot. Michael was born soon thereafter. In La Jolla, California, Pat met and married Barbara, his wife of 64 years. Now licensed as a commercial pilot, he relocated in 1960 to Mondorf-les-Bains, Luxembourg with Barbara and their seven children. They established many lasting friendships there before they departed for Nanaimo in 1968. It was during his time in Nanaimo that Pat and Barbara became very involved in community affairs. He was a founding member of the Nanaimo Concerned Citizens Committee, an organization whose efforts led to the protection of Piper’s Lagoon, the Nanaimo waterfront around Mafeo Sutton Park and Swy-A-Lana Lagoon. He was very passionate about the City of Nanaimo in terms of its planning and development, and preserving aspects of its natural beauty. Pat strongly believed he could make a difference and it was this drive that compelled him to contest mayoralty elections when no one else would. He also served two successive terms on Nanaimo City Council. Pat lived his life with purpose, intent, and gratitude. He enjoyed discussion and debate, beauty in every form and he would often punctuate an occasion with a quote from a favourite poem, song or scholarly work. He lived a full, active life with enough stories and anecdotes to fill a book, which he did. His memoir, “At the Going Down of the Sunâ€?, was published in August, 2000. The family wishes to express their deepest gratitude to the amazing staff at Dover House Intermediate Care Facility, where Pat and Barbara have been compassionately cared for during the last six months. We will all miss him dearly. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. - excerpt from “For the Fallenâ€?, by Robert Laurence Binyon A funeral mass will be held at St. Peter’s Catholic Church, 301 Machleary Street, Nanaimo, B.C., on Saturday, September 13 at 2:00 pm. Reception and refreshments to follow at St. Peter’s Church Hall. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to an environmental charity of your choice.

It’s with great sadness that we announce the passing of Lynn Skates on August 13, 2014 after a brave and hard fought twenty month battle with lung cancer. Lynn was born on May 14, 1958 in Belfast Northern Ireland to parents Wesley and Isa Nicholl. She is survived by her partner and spouse of twenty six years Barry Watson and their two daughters Emma and Shannon Watson. She is also survived by her mother Isa, brother Allen, sister Jennifer of Northern Ireland and her brother Aubrey of Sarnia Ontario. She was predeceased by her brother Steven of Northern Ireland in 2009. Lynn’s family did not escape the troubles or the sectarian violence in Northern Ireland during the 1970’s; her father was murdered in the family home in June of 1976. Lynn immigrated to Canada with her new husband in 1979, they settled in Richmond B.C. After the marriage ended Lynn continued to live in Richmond where she met Barry in 1988. Barry, Lynn and Emma moved to Nanaimo in 1994 and Shannon was born a short time later in 1996. Lynn was a great mother to her girls and an extremely hard working person. After Shannon was born, Lynn got a job at the Black Bear Pub as a cook; she worked there for fifteen years. Her Irish stew on St. Patrick’s Day was always a hit and sold out quickly! She will also be sadly missed by her friends and co-workers at the pub. A special thank you to Dr. Ehman, to the doctors, nurses and health care professionals in the Emergency Department, on the fourth floor and in the Palliative Care Unit at NRGH, you were all so caring, she could not have asked for more! Anyone wishing to make a donation in Lynn’s name to the Nanaimo & District Hospital Foundation would be greatly appreciated! A celebration of life for Lynn will be held at the Nanaimo Rugby Club on September 27, 2014 @ 2:00 pm, everyone is welcome.

Borland, Stephanie Lyn March 1, 1973 ~ August 31, 2014 It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of Stephanie. She was predeceased by her mother Sharon. She will be remembered by her beloved puppy “Mangoâ€?, her father Rob (Yulia Denisenko), sisters Robbie Martin (Shane), Barb De Ruiter (Jason), brother Jared (Holly Saxton), niece Caitlyn and nephews Jet, Riley, and Logan. Stephanie was truly one of a kind. To know her was a gift. She brought life and love in abundance to her family and friends. Stephanie left a bit of herself with everyone she knew. She was always the first person to provide help to anyone, even if that was just lending an ear to listen (which always came with no holds barred advice as well). She was a fast and fierce friend, she lived and loved intensely. She left a remarkable and immediate impression with anyone who crossed her path, including her customers at work, as her accolades reflect. Stephanie was also an amazing aunty to her niece and nephews both family and friends. Window, as she was so affectionately known by many, provided great joy to the little ones in her life. She sought out and enjoyed all of life’s little pleasures, recognizing the positive in just about any situation. Daughter, sister, aunt and friend‌she will be momentously missed. A private family burial is being held. There will be a celebration of Stephanie’s life, for all her friends at a later date. Details of this event will be made available on her Facebook Memorial Page. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Heart & Stroke Foundation and the BCSPCA are appreciated.

Report shows ‘significant decline’ in gang killings
I
anti-gang task force report notes more big cases going to trial next year. By Jeff Nagel Black Press
A recent drop in gang violence now has B.C.’s anti-gang police unit looking to the courts for closure on several major outstanding cases. Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit chief officer Kevin Hackett said the “significant decline� in organized crime homicides comes after a series of high-profile investigations leading to charges, as well as new initiatives to prevent or reduce gang membership. His comments were published Monday in the unit’s 2014 annual community report. It can be found online at bc-anti-gang.com. The number of gang-related killings in B.C. fell to 13 last year from 18 in 2012 and has been cut by almost two-thirds from the 36 gang murders committed in 2009. Nearly 100 organized crime figures or gang-related individuals were arrested and charged last year with more than 270 offences in about 30 B.C. communities, Hackett said. The report’s release came after the province announced policing cuts that will pare the CFSEU budget by $2.8 million. Much public atten-
tion has focused on the Surrey Six murder trial, which concluded in early July. A decision is expected to be handed down Oct. 2 in the case against two of the men accused of killing six people. But a separate murder conspiracy trial for Red Scorpions gang member Jamie Bacon is slated to begin next May for his alleged role in the Surrey Six slayings. And there could be two other major gang murder trials in 2015 as well. Supt. Mark Fisher, Nanaimo RCMP detachment commander, credits investigators for their work in bringing gang members to trial, but also cautions that there is a lucrative drug trade still operating that will likely attract new players. “Even though you have some very high-profile figures who are in the court system now and have been charged and are in custody, you still have to be alive to the fact that there’s opportunity out there in the drug trade that people want to take advantage of and there will be up and comers out there who want to try and replace those people,� Fisher said. He said the level

of organized crime activity fluctuates, but there are always people involved in organized crime trying to recruit new people in the lucrative drug trade. Nanaimo RCMP try to stay on top of gang and drug trade activities by sharing intelligence with investigators on the Island, Lower Mainland and elsewhere who specialize in organized crime, Fisher said. He also credits Nanaimo’s Bar Watch program, sponsored by the city, for helping keep a lid on organized crime activities here. “Bar Watch does a great job on identifying individuals involved in these groups when they arrive in town and obviously [bar owners] don’t want them in their establishments because of the

level of violence they bring, or can bring on some occasions, to the community and to the establishment,� Fisher said. Hackett was optimistic the unit’s edgy End Gang Life campaign (endganglife.ca) will help persuade more
gang members to reform. It plays on the emotions of gangsters with imagery of loved ones left behind after they’re dead. The annual report includes statistics on the ethnicity of gang murder victims, where the bodies are
typically found (31 per cent inside a car, 20 per cent inside a residence), as well as seasonal patterns in gang violence. For the full report, please visit our website at www. nanaimobulletin.com.

V.I. trying to measure up in rematch with rival Sun
I
JR. FOOTBALL teams play this Saturday. BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
The V.I. Raiders have come a long way. They’ve gained a lot of yards, experience, and some points in the standings since a pair of ugly losses to the Okanagan Sun earlier this season. Now, in the third and final regular-season meeting between the rivals, the Raiders will find out how they measure up. “We’ve grown up a lot,” said Brian Ridgeway, V.I. coach. “Still the same look, same ideas, same playbook, it’s just we’re executing at a much higher level. It’s like night and day.” The Sun shut out the Raiders 38-0 in Kelowna on Aug. 9, then won the rematch a week later in Nanaimo by a 64-20 score. “[We] took two absolute beatings by the Okanagan Sun and they were well-deserved,”
Ridgeway said. “We didn’t come out and play hard and we had 100 excuses why.” The Raiders learned from those losses, and realized they needed to be more prepared and more physical to compete in the B.C. Football Conference. Those tough lessons were part of the process, said the coach.
Quickfacts V.I. RAIDERS take on the Okanagan Sun on Saturday (Sept. 13) at 2 p.m. at Caledonia Park. TICKETS AVAILABLE at the gate, $12 for adults and $10 for seniors and students.
“Getting stomped down a few times, it’s the adversity. That feeling … really fuelled our next phase of hard work,” Ridgeway said. He said he hopes the losses to the Sun don’t sit well with his guys, and said this week is absolutely a measuring stick. The players view it that way, too.
“Our players, they’ve gained more experience and our players are in better positions than they were a couple weeks ago,” said Dylan Chapdelaine, V.I. linebacker. “And everyone’s maturing and getting into the rhythm of the season. So I think this game’s going to be a lot better than the last time we saw them.” Both teams are on win streaks. The Raiders have won two in a row and the Sun have taken over first place in the standings. Okanagan has a potent rushing attack and the conference’s stingiest defence, while V.I. has the league’s best passing game. “You can’t take anything away from Okie, they’re executing very well, their big players are playing big and they’ve got confidence; they’re on a roll,” Ridgeway said. “No doubt they’re going to be a very powerful opponent, but everybody’s beatable.” The coach said there could be huge swings in the score depending on what each team does

right and wrong. Chapdelaine predicted a tight game. “We’re going to have to play hard and we’re going to have to execute every play and it’s going to be a game of inches,” he said.
After playing a barnburner and a blowout the last two home games, the Raiders are expecting this one to be physical and intense. “If you’ve ever watched a bullfight, even though the matador’s quite
calm, it’s an intense situation. It’s going to be a lot like that…” Ridgeway said. “The Okanagan Sun will be ready to play and I think our guys are really going to be ready to play.” sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Clippers getting closer
I
Team will wrap pre-season
BCHL TEAM makes cuts after first few pre-season games. BY GREG SAKAKI ThE NEwS BuLLETiN
The Nanaimo Clippers have a good crop of players, but they have a lot of work ahead of them as they become a team. The city’s B.C. Hockey League club was planning to make some cuts Wednesday after press time as they continue pre-season play. “We need to … get down in numbers, which will allow us to work on creating some chemistry amongst the group and work more on the development of the team game,” said Mike Vandekamp, coach and general manager of the junior A hockey club. He said he’s looking to add a defenceman, but the personnel at other positions looks good and coaches are seeing strength and skill.
Inbrief
Nanaimo News Bulletin 23
Thursday, September 11, 2014
GREG SAKAKI/ThE NEwS BullETIN
“
Nanaimo Clippers forward Jake Jackson has the puck knocked off his stick during an exhibition game against the Victoria Grizzlies on Saturday at Frank Crane Arena. The home team won 5-4 in overtime.
We need to work on creating some chemistry.
“Do we have the individuals here to make up a talented and successful team? Absolutely. But do we need to learn how to play better as a team? Absolutely,” Vandekamp said. He said some injuries the past couple of weeks have
slowed the process, affecting his ability to evaluate players. “We would have made more moves by now if we had healthier bodies,” the GM said. “I would have liked to be a lot closer to our team on the ice than we are.” He’s challenging guys to play hard and play a team game in exhibition. Overly individualistic play won’t impress many coaches, not even at this time of year, Vandekamp said. “We’ve given the guys information daily on how we’d like to see the team play, and players have to be able to pick up on that,” he said. sports@nanaimobulletin.com
The Nanaimo Clippers conclude their warm-up games this week, and next week, hockey starts for real. The Clips host the Alberni Valley Bulldogs on Friday (Sept. 12) at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena, then play a rematch Saturday at Port Alberni. The Clippers began exhibition play Friday with a 5-4 overtime decision over the Victoria Grizzlies, lost 5-4 to the Cowichan Valley Capitals on Tuesday in Duncan, then played the Caps again Wednesday in Nanaimo after press time. “I guess we’ve played OK; I don’t know what to think about an exhibition…” said Mike Vandekamp, Clippers coach. “They’re exciting games, filled with mistakes both ways.” In Tuesday’s loss, Anthony Rinaldi scored a pair and Jacob Hanlon and Spencer Hewson also tallied.

The Nanaimo Buccaneers have their first win in the bag and now they’ll try for a few more. The city’s Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League team plays three games in three nights starting tonight (Sept. 11) at home against the Kerry Park Islanders. Coach Derek Bachynski said back-to-back-to-back games are a physical challenge. “It’s early in the season, so maybe our conditioning level isn’t where it should be mid-season,” he said. “But off the ice, we’ve been working hard and our practices are fast so
Nanaimo United had a tough time with one of the division’s top teams, and now they take on another contender. United’s Div. 1 men started the 2014-15 Vancouver Island Soccer League season last weekend, losing 4-2 to the Saanich Fusion, who topped the table last year. Ryan Andre scored both goals for Nanaimo in the opener. United faces Bays United on Saturday (Sept. 14) at 7 p.m. at Merle Logan Field. Admission is always free at Nanaimo United home games.
A Nanaimo youth roared his racer to the front of the pack and won at the track. Nanaimo’s Luke Dixon, 14, placed first in a field of more than 25 racers in the Hornet class main event on Labour Day weekend at Saratoga Speedway in the Comox Valley. Driving a Honda Civic hatchback, Dixon came first in

they’re getting the conditioning in the practices.” So even though the team has a busy schedule coming up, the coach still wanted his guys to skate hard this week. “Having a good practice leads into a good game in my mind, so practice will be important this week,” Bachynski said. GAME ON … The Bucs and Isles play tonight at 7:15 p.m. at the Nanaimo Ice Centre. Tickets cost $9 for adults, $8 for seniors and students and $5 for kids 6-12 … The Bucs will visit the Campbell River Storm on Friday in a 7:30 p.m. faceoff at Strathcona Gardens and then take on the Comox Valley Glacier Kings on Saturday in a 7 :30 p.m. game at the Comox Valley Sports Centre.

Author shares stories of working for U.S. navy in Canada Jack Nellist spent two years working for the U.S. Navy as a draftsmen for Boeing Canada By Nicholas Pescod The News BulleTiN
W
hen Jack Nellist was hired by Boeing Aircraft Canada in 1943, he instantly became a part of the American war effort despite living in British Columbia. “It was kind of strange of to me,” Nellist, now 87, told the News Bulletin. “But at 16 I didn’t really have much of a feel. I was interested in airplanes. That was my main interest because I was designing and building them since I was 10.” For the next two years, Nellist essential worked for the U.S. Navy as an aeronautical draftsman for Boeing at its factory in Richmond, B.C., where the Catalina PBY-5A was built as well as the bomb bay sections for the B-29 Superfortress, which were shipped to Renton, Wash. for assembly. “I wandered in there and filled out an application and they looked at my drawings and told me to report to work the following day,” Nellist recalled. “I was lucky to be hired by Boeing at age 16.” Tonight (Sept. 11) at the Bowen Park Activity Centre, Nellist, a resident
of Nanaimo, will be sharing his stories and his book Aircraft Production During World War II: Boeing Aircraft of Canada, which was published in 2010. Ever since Nellist was a young boy he had displayed a keen interest in airplanes. At the age of 15, Nellist took a homestudy course in aeronautical drafting from Curtis-Wright Technical Institute, which he assumed would help him when he ended up working for Boeing. However, that wasn’t the case. “They weren’t doing aeronautical drafting,” he said. “In other words there were no T-squares or set-squares or compasses in sight. All I could see were these large drawing tables with steel edges on them.” At the time, Boeing employed a large majority of workers at their Seattle and Renton plants who were unable to read engineering blueprints. In order to solve the problem, the company came up with a solution to illustrate the blueprints in large diagrams. “What Boeing Canada was doing was taking the engi-

neering blueprints and redrawing them in perspective with cutaway views and exploded views,” he said. “That meant that someone with no experience could look at the drawing and assemble a component.” Unfortunately for Nellist, he had never had experience drawing illustrations the way Boeing wanted

them done. “I was standing there with my mouth open because I hadn’t been trained to do that,” he said. “But it didn’t take long ... within a month I was fine.” According to Nellist, one of the reasons why Boeing Canada received the contract to build the Catalina PBY-5 was because of the
following Japan’s surrender. After his stint at Boeing Canada, Nellist would go on to have a successful career with B.C. Tel as a draftsman. Despite the fact that Canadians played a role in the U.S. war effort, the majority of Americans are unaware. Nellist recalled a time in Palm Springs, Calif., where he explained to a young pilot flying the only flyable B-29 that it had Canadian made parts. “He just shook his head and couldn’t believe it,” Nellist said. When Nellist looks back at his work history, he’s proud to see Boeing Canada on his resumé. “I found the job to be the best job I ever had in my lifetime,” he said. Jack Nellist speaks at Bowen Park Activity Centre tonight at 7:30 p.m. The event is free of charge. For more information, please visit bit.ly/ BoeingCanada. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Japanese presence along the coast of Vancouver Island and Washington state. “Right after Pearl Harbor there were a total of nine Japanese submarines that were looking for the five U.S. aircraft carriers that they had missed during the raid. The Japanese came out to the West Coast, particularly the west coast of Vancouver Island,” Nellist said. “For a period of several months they would roam up and down the coast, as far down as California, but their favourite spot was to sit out by the entrance of the Juan De Fuca Strait. They actually targeted about 17 freighters.” Between 1943 and 1945, the Richmond factory produced 362 Catalina PBY-5As and 676 bomb bay sections for the B-29, with many of the sections assembled on planes used in a number of raids against the Japanese. The Richmond factory shut down almost immediately

Residents of the Harbour City will have a new venue to show off their dance moves as a new nightclub is set to open this weekend. Koncept Nightclub, located at 240 Skinner St., will hold a grand opening party Saturday (Sept. 13), which will feature DJ Jesse James, DJ Goofio (Hesh) and David Mumford. “We’re basically trying to have all different types of music in this one night so that we can get all kinds of different people to come in and check it out,” said manager Sydney Braid. Koncept Nightclub, which fills the vacancy left by the Spice Lounge after it closed its doors last
month, will be giving the first 50 people who enter the club on Saturday free VIP passes for the remainder of the year. “I want to provide a fresh, elegant venue that attracts all different partiers,” Braid said. “Whether they are looking to relax and socialize or go out and get lost on the dance floor, I want this club to be the perfect option for everyone.” As with most nightclubs, Koncept will have a cover charge, but it has a twist. “A third will go to our local entertainer, a third will go to the child development centre and another third is going to be put into a pot for a chance to win at the

In 1998 Sly Thompson found himself working at the Port Theatre. “I was working there doing the behind-thescenes kind of thing,” Thompson told the News Bulletin. Fast-forward nearly two decades and Thompson is a highly regarded David Bowie impersonator, who has toured throughout North America. On Sept. 13, Thompson will be performing at the Port Theatre as part of his A Night of Bowie routine. “It’s a more classic, refined, older Bowie,” Thompson said about the show. “The music is awesome and the band is great. I think everybody is really going to enjoy it.” A Night of Bowie will include the typical classic Bowie hits as well as a variety of other songs by the British music star. Thompson’s performance recreates a classic Bowie concert experience. “That’s what we are trying portray, of course,” he said. “Mind you we don’t have a multimillion-dollar , but it is a multi-media show.” Thompson began his portrayal of Bowie back in the 1980s and has performed in numerous cities including Las Vegas, and Stanford, Calif. A Night of Bowie takes place on Saturday (Sept. 13) at the Port Theatre at 8 p.m. Tickets range from $29.50-$37.50.

There’s room for three in the back seat as long as those passengers are not of a larger body type, if I may delicately put it that way. If you are of a larger body type, there is plenty of room in the trunk, if you desperately need a ride at that exact moment. (Just kidding.) But it does tell you the trunk is also roomy!

Mazda roadster for the people by Alexandra Straub
Looking at the specs, it doesn’t seem too impressive. A 1.6-litre engine, 116 horsepower, 100 lb-ft of torque, a 0-100 km/h time of less than nine seconds, 14-inch tires. But 25 years ago, the Mazda Miata was a product of those numbers. It wasn’t necessarily endowed in the engine department. However, the two-door roadster did have everything else on its side. A sleek design, a peppy personality, a brilliant red coat and something that other cars have strived to achieve in their two-door roadsters over the years but have fallen short – longevity. At a quarter century old, the Miata/MX-5 has achieved incredible success. Close to a million of these drop tops have been sold worldwide. The Miata/MX5 holds a Guinness Book of World Records title as most successful two-seat convertible roadster in history. Not bad for a car that packs in thrills for under $30K. Over the years, the frontengine, rear-wheel drive car continued to encourage the masses to drive topless. Whether through a rag or hardtop, this specimen of automotive manufacturing and design allowed people to feel the proverbial wind in their hair within seconds. I felt it as a kid as my mom was lucky enough to be one of the first Miata owners in B.C. when they came out in
1989 – a red one, of course – and took me out for rides frequently. Those memories have stayed with me over the decades, though I’ve formed my own bond with the car. Nostalgia is one popular element of its appeal, but there’s an undeniable fun factor. Whether racing it on a track or just taking it to the grocery store, the first turn you carve in it will rope you in like an infomercial in the wee hours of the night when you can’t sleep. But in the case of the MX-5, you won’t have any buyer’s remorse. Fast-forward through the years and you’re now viewing the fourth generation MX-5. This two-seater also comes with sexy character lines from its four corners. Furthermore, up front, you’ll notice its headlights that look like they’re eyeing its prey; unlike the first generation’s pop up/down headlights that were more than welcoming. Like with all-new models of anything legendary, there will be a polarizing reception. Some might think it’s too radical. Some might fall immediately in love with it. And some will wait to drive it to make up their mind. Regardless of the way it looks – which certainly helps its cause – it’s really about how you feel on the road, behind the wheel, and when you tuck it in at night. More details are scheduled to be released at this year’s Paris Auto Show. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Ford Flex a flexible vehicle by Zack Spencer
Flex is a short name for a big Ford utility/wagon type vehicle that can accommodate six or seven people with ease and seat them with an impressive degree of comfort. Made in Canada, Flex is a hard-to-categorize vehicle that was introduced for the 2009 model year. Not a car, a minivan or an SUV, Flex borrows from them all, so the ‘crossover’ tag is also very appropriate. Stylistically the Ford Flex dares to be different. What appears at first glance to be a simple two-box design is actually more complex. It has generally straight styling lines yet there are no sharp corners. Its two-tone paint finish is separated by the dark centre greenhouse section, which gives Flex a distinctive ‘floating roof’ appearance that’s also appealing.
‘‘
What appears to be a simple two-box design is actually more complex.
’’
On the inside, even with all its seats upright there’s still 566 litres of cargo space in the back. That jumps to 1,224 litres with the third row down and a whopping 2,355 litres with the second row flat. The front passenger seat can also fold forward and allows Flex to swallow three-metre longobject, with its liftgate closed. Flex can also have an impressive max towing capacity of 2,041 kilograms when properly equipped. Originally (in 2009) Flex just came in SEL and Limited trim levels and allwheel drive was a ($2,000) optional offering. The only engine was a 3.5-litre V6 engine that can deliver 262 horsepower at 6,250 rpm and 248 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,500 rpm. It’s mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and drive goes to the front wheels. Highway fuel economy is surprisingly good 8.4 L/100 km, but the city rating is a much thirstier 12.6 L/100km. Two changes came in 2010 in the form of a new (lower-priced) entry level SE trim version of Flex and the other was a new optional 3.5 litre V6 EcoBoost engine (Limited trim only). Turbochargers and direct fuel injection allow this engine to provide V8-like power, yet still offer V6 fuel economy. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Beefs & bouquets BEEF To noisy people in and around the apartment building. If my neighbour had to work the next morning, he’d be very upset with you. BOUQUET To the crew of Duncan Paving who graciously relocated their paving trucks and equipment at the Cedar Community Hall before a celebration of life was to be held. Thank you for making this day a little brighter. BEEF To all drivers. When it gets dark, start your vehicle, walk behind and see if you have tail lights – if you don’t, you have to push, pull or turn your knob to turn on tail lights. Please make it safe for everyone on the roads. BOUQUET To the lady in the white RAV4 who paid for our two Egg McMuffins at the Mary Ellen Drive McDonald’s. What a surprise and how kind. I’ll do the same for another person somewhere. BEEF To men who wear perfume cleverly called aftershave or cologne. You are polluting the air and smell ridiculous. BOUQUET To the lady who stood by my wallet at the ferry terminal on Monday and to the gentlemen who waited for me to return to let me know that it was safe and awaiting me. Such care for others is truly appreciated. BEEF I’m tired of the jerking of the new buses. It is very uncomfortable to ride and getting hard on my neck. Can’t they be driven smoother? BOUQUET To the lovely women who helped pay for my parking at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital emergency department. You deserve a big hug.
BEEF To foolish parents who place a “children playing” sign at the stop sign and then let three young children play on the street unattended. Try the church parking lot across the street – a lot safer – and supervise them. BOUQUET To Dr. John Olsen and Linda at Seven Sails Dental for my smile back. They’ve replaced my tooth three times. Your service is something to smile about. BEEF To Beban Park rec centre. The new sauna should have cedar walls, not glass; the steam room is 25 per cent smaller; the lockers are too shallow even to put your shoes in. Last year you took the candy machines, this year the water cannons, next year probably the slide. BOUQUET To the drivers who exited via the arrow and exit sign from the drive-thru at the Southgate Tim Hortons. BEEF To the drivers at the Tim Hortons who ignored the signs and turned left where the pylons used to be. The pylons were removed because people drove over them and destroyed them. BOUQUET To Wexford Creek care facility for making George’s last days so comfortable. BEEF To the teachers’ union. Comparatively, teachers have excellent jobs, pay, benefits and amazing holidays. On top of all of this the union wants to spread jam on all of them.
BOUQUET To honour the memory of the late, great Pat Barron, who fought his last great battle for Harewood’s Colliery Dam Park. We honour his service. BEEF To the person who stole the tank bag off my motorcycle that was parked outside the Oxy Hotel. It had documentation, more than $200 worth of tools and other personal effects of no value to anyone but myself. BOUQUET to the local sponsors who helped make our ‘not back to school’ picnic a super time: Country Grocer Bowen, Wellington library, Nanaimo parks and rec, Kool and Child, Patti’s Party Palace, Nanaimo Museum, and the Wilson family. Your support added to a special day for Nanaimo’s home-school families. BEEF To the company for putting me through numerous interviews, testing and then you fell off the face of the planet with no explanation. if that is how your company runs I am glad not to be part of it.
BOUQUET To the lady in the blue car, who stopped to guide my frantic dog across Uplands Drive. She got away from my friend while out for a walk, and they had a large dog encounter that frightened her. BEEF To the cable company for changing television channels without any notifications, and now making the news network into a pay-extra channel. We are already forced to pay for many channels that we never use. BOUQUET To the Brickyard Dental Clinic. I took my granddaughter in without an appointment (she is not a patient of theirs) and they took her in immediately and fixed her dental problem. It was exceptional, smiling service. BEEF To the elderly man in the right-handdrive van at the Mostar light. l was not using my phone. l have hands-free. You then sped up, cut me off and crossed two lanes in order to get my plate. How frightening for a woman alone. BOUQUET To everyone at the Co-op. Thank you from Mariah for the fun family day. We had so much fun and I won a gift basket – my first win ever. BEEF To the rude couple on B.C. Ferries who thought it was OK to tell my kid to shut up so that you could sleep, and then tell them it doesn’t matter what your parents say. Next time think twice about riding on the boat – if you don’t like kids, stay in your car and sleep there or learn to fly. BOUQUET I was so impressed by the outstanding customer service I received at the Brooks Landing Staples store. Divisional sales manager Kathy Paterson was so helpful and friendly that I left the store totally impressed and keen to give that store my business from now on.

Nanaimo News Bulletin B15
A MESSAGE TO DR. BRENDAN CARR, CEO AND THE ISLAND HEALTH BOARD One year ago, Nanaimo nurses began sounding the warning that Island Health’s new care model could put safe patient care at risk. Care Delivery Model Redesign (CDMR) nearly doubles the number of patients each nurse is responsible for. Giving nurses too many patients means too little nursing care is available to each patient. Volume trumps quality, gaps are inevitable, and patient safety is impacted. A year has gone by, nurses’ warnings have intensified, but nothing has changed. 22,000 British Columbians have signed BCNU’s petition calling for a moratorium and an independent review of this flawed care model. Island Health admits to some mistakes, but has done nothing to correct them. Every day since September 13, 2013 nurses go to work at Nanaimo Hospital fearing for their patients’ safety.
Nurses want safe care for their patients, now! It’s time Island Health listened to nurses and took actions to improve care. The BC Nurses’ Union believes Nanaimo hospital patients deserve safe, quality care.
