Busing considered for Cedar students heading south BY KARL YU THE NEWS BULLETIN
Parent-organized charter bus service is the only option currently available for displaced Cedar secondary students that chose Ladysmith Secondary, but more busing is being examined. The Cedar high school
was closed in June as part of the Nanaimo school district’s 10-year facilities plan and while some parents chose to send their children to designated catchment school John Barsby, some opted for Ladysmith. Busing was provided for students attending Barsby, but not Ladysmith.
The school district requested the Regional District of Nanaimo look into the possibility of transit service to accommodate students. According to Daniel Pearce, regional district manager of transit operations, a meeting with regional district staff, their counterparts from
Cowichan Valley and B.C. Transit is set for October. Pearce said the Nanaimo regional district has a transit plan which discusses routes into Ladysmith, and the question is whether that fits with Cowichan Valley Regional District’s plans, as Ladysmith falls within that jurisdiction. See ‘PLAN’ /4
It’s become a three-way leadership race, with two new candidates declaring bids for the mayoral seat Wednesday. First-term Nanaimo city councillor Bill McKay and local businessman Roger McKinnon announced they will be seeking Nanaimo’s top leadership job this November. They join Brunie Brunie, who has been without a challenger since Coun. Bill Bestwick bowed out of the race in August. During their announcements, the two candidates outlined interests in seeing Nanaimo become more business friendly, having council create a vision and teamwork. But they differed when it came to how they view the operation of the city and top tasks ahead. McKay says he’s been working toward the mayoral seat for seven years, understands how government works and isn’t afraid to lead a team. He also says he comes with a practical business point of view, but understands the city isn’t a business. For example, decisions like installing building accessibility ramps or audible indicators on crosswalks may not have a return on investment that a business would look at, but there’s a case for the community. The first-time mayoral candidate said if elected, he’d like to see a program and services review. He is also interested in making social housing a priority, and plans to campaign on issues of efficiency, imagination, focus and cooperation. See ‘CANDIDATE’ /13

Type 1 diabetes gets fundraising, research boost The Telus Community Walk to Cure Diabetes happens this weekend. This year’s walk supporting the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation of Canada has moved to McGirr Sport Fields, thanks to the McGirr Sports Fields Society, which donated the use of its fields and facilities. It might only be a three-kilometre walk, but the annual family-oriented outing is more about showing support for the cause, plus there will be plenty of festive activities at the fields, with entertainment by Daisy the Cow, a bouncy castle, face painting, a pancake breakfast and other treats. “We’re going to walk down McRobb [Avenue], along in front of Dover high school and back up Hammond Bay [Road] and across the school field,” said Jenn Demo, event organizer and a mother of a child with Type 1 diabetes. So far, it looks like more people will turn out than in years prior. “I’m looking at about 200 people this year,” Demo said. Donations are raised throughout the year from community fundraiser events, such as a recent golf tournament at Cottonwood Golf Course and contributions from private donors. “We’re upwards of $15,000 or $16,000 already,” Demo said. Nanaimo has raised more than $500,000 since 2001. The walk happens Sunday (Sept. 28) 8 a.m. to noon. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. and the walk gets underway at 11 a.m. Please visit jdrf.ca/ walk.

Nanaimo River remains in relatively good health By Karl yu The News bulleTiN
The Nanaimo River is in relatively good shape, but it hasn’t been immune to change, said Gail Adrienne, Nanaimo and Area Land Trust executive director. The river represents one of the healthiest in the area but it isn’t as healthy as in the past, when there was lower population and it was seeing less use, Adrienne said. World Rivers Day, which highlights the health of waterways around the globe, happens Sunday (Sept. 28). Climate change has had an effect on all rivers, said Adrienne. Salmon and trout need cool water temperature
and steelhead trout stock in the river has declined noticeably. “Not too many generations ago, [the Nanaimo River] was a destination river for steelhead fishermen and now there are very few steelhead there … They seem to be more sensitive to water temperature changes and other impacts. “Most rivers seem to have lost their steelhead populations,” said Adrienne, adding other fish populations are healthy. While there is pollution in the river, the water is relatively safe, Adrienne said. Run-off and fine particulate matter, from activities like logging, getting into the Nanaimo River is an issue but

Staff rehired following care home layoffs The majority of 122 employees axed from Nanaimo’s Wexford Creek care facility have been rehired under new contracts. The Good Samaritan Society announced in April it was considering an end to its contract with Island Health after it handed out pink slips to 122 employees at its south Nanaimo facility, citing chronic underfunding. Contracts were terminated as of Sept. 25, but employees were given the option to reapply for positions under new terms, including a 3.5-per cent salary rollback. According to the society, the majority of employees have been rehired. Shawn Terlson, president and chief executive officer of the society, said there are also no plans to change the way it does business and Island Health has indicated it will look at changing the funding formula for publicprivate partnerships started in 2008. Funding has been a key issue for the society, which has claimed Island Health’s contribution hasn’t changed in six years despite the rising costs of accommodation, wages and benefits. “With the tough decision that we had to make earlier in the spring we think that we at least got the site to a point we’re going to continue on with the current business model and then we will see what the future holds as far as funding increases from Island Health,” Terlson said. Island Health said it has made a commitment to review the funding model for residential care, but it’s not currently underway and there’s no timeline for when a review will take place.

A new secondary school and sports stadium are still far-off fantasies for the Nanaimo school district, but minor baseball is fearful. The Nanaimo Minor Baseball Association is concerned about the future of Serauxmen Stadium after the school board endorsed earlier this summer an NDSS site study that recommended the demolition of the ballpark. Scott Leaf, minor baseball president, said the site study came as a “complete shock” to his membership. “They can’t understand how a proposal could even be considered when it doesn’t even acknowledge or factor in the fabric of baseball and the number of kids playing baseball in the community,” he said. The study, prepared by Cornerstone Architecture and Planning Group, presents various options for the 16-hectare parcel of land and recommends that Rotary Bowl track and field stadium be relocated overtop of the ballpark site. Minor baseball responded by putting up ‘save our stadium’ posters in July and earlier this month Leaf wrote to Phil Turin, the school district’s secretary-treasurer, advo-
result in the demolition of the Serauxmen Stadium,” though Neary told the Bulletin earlier this summer that trustees would look at all recommendations in the site study. Nanaimo currently has two 90-foot diamonds, Serauxmen Stadium and Mariner Field. Leaf said without the stadium, minor baseball would have to reduce programming. Richard Harding, the City of Nanaimo’s director of parks, recreation and environment, agreed that one 90-foot diamond would not accommodate baseball, but said concerns are “really premature” considering it’s only a concept plan being circulated. Mariner Field could be upgraded “to a point, but we’d have to look at that in more detail,” Harding said. “We haven’t spent any time looking at replacement of Serauxmen Stadium.” The school district expects to begin consultation on the NDSS site study within the next two months. Nanaimo’s baseball fans intend to make their voices heard. “The legacy and the history and the sweat and the tears and hard work that went into building this only further motivates everyone who’s involved with the stadium to keep it alive…” Leaf said. “This is one of the most unique stadiums in Western Canada. For the kids to get a chance to play in here, it’s very special.”

A high school-specific bus isn’t possible through public transit, but route planning based on student schedules could be taken into consideration, according to Pearce. “If there’s Vancouver Island University involved, if there’s the school district involved, what would their wants be? So making sure we’re trying to take that into account, alongside what the tax base is, alongside all the other variables with B.C. Transit and trying to make sure if we could do it, what are the best times to do it and what players are at the table,” said Pearce. A plan would take at least three to four months to implement and the biggest task involved would be where the buses would be going. Once that was agreed on, it would only come down to where funding would come from, according to Pearce. He said a route in 2015-16 would be more realistic.

Survey says residents want more transit By Karl yu The News bulleTiN
While some residents aren’t enamoured with Regional District of Nanaimo transit based on results of a recent poll, officials say they are working to improve service. As part of the regional district’s operation and efficiency review, market research company Ipsos conducted a survey of resi-
dents’ satisfaction. Thirtysix per cent of respondents expressed dissatisfaction with transit and 59 per cent said they would like expanded service. Transit represented the service that is not only the least satisfactory but one residents would most like to see expanded, according to Ipsos. Dennis Trudeau, regional district general manager of transportation, said some routes only run hourly and he can understand why transit users want more. He said the system has seen significant growth in his time with transit.
“It’s a system that has grown almost 50 per cent in hours in the last 10 years,” Trudeau said. “It’s gone from 80,000 hours up to close to 120,000 hours and over that time, the ridership has increased almost 50 per cent as well, going from just under two million to almost three million now.” There is also service on all stat holidays except Good Friday and Christmas, additional runs between Parksville, Qualicum and Nanaimo and some of the Vancouver Island University runs go almost every 15 minutes, according to Trudeau.
The regional district board approved a 25-year transit plan in late March and as part of that, expanded service will be presented to directors during 2015 budget discussions. According to Daniel Pearce, manager of transit operations, restructuring of the No. 4 (Vancouver Island University) and the establishment of a rapid transit bus line from downtown, up Island Highway to Woodgrove Centre would be part of that. Ipsos interviewed 1,325 people between January and April. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Need to report a civic issue? There might be an app for that
Tree damaged by its popularity
I
By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN
A Nanaimo politician is calling on council to consider a new smartphone app that would allow residents to report civic issues from the palm of their hands. Coun. George Anderson wants council to look into a new app that would see people access city information and report issues, like potholes and graffiti, from their smartphones. It wouldn’t be the first municipality to tap into mobile technology. Kamloops, Surrey and Vancouver all have apps connecting residents to city hall. With the popularity of smartphones and people using electronic means like e-Town hall meetings to get engaged, Anderson says enhancing those kinds of services for people would be a win for the community. “As a government, we need to try to get to more people. There [are] advantages, obviously, to paper copies and all those types of things, but I think there’s great opportunity to look at the information technology side of things and perhaps get more people involved.” Anderson would like to see the app include information like schedules for public facilities and billing, as well as the ability for residents to tip off civic problems. The idea stems from the Kamloops’ app, which launched three years ago. People are able to snap a photo of an issue, pinpoint the location
WEStErN rEd cedar possibly oldest on Gabriola island and in danger from foot traffic at roots. By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN
An ancient giant western red cedar on Gabriola Island is a victim of its own popularity. The tree, located in the Elder Cedar (S’ulhween X’pey) Nature Reserve, home to one of the island’s last stands of old-growth forest, gets a lot of visitors who like to get up close to touch it and have their photos taken with it. All those visitations over the years have compacted the soil around the tree’s roots making it difficult for water and oxygen to permeate the soil. “It physically damages the roots as well, which leads to a weakening of the tree and without protection right now the tree likely won’t survive as long as it could,” said Rob Gratton, Islands Trust Fund spokesman.
Gratton said the tree’s age is estimated at several hundred years, but no core sample has ever been taken, so the cedar’s exact age is unknown. “We do know it’s certainly one of, if not the oldest, trees on the island,” Gratton said. To protect the tree, the Islands Trust Fund, Gabriola Land and Trails Trust and Nanaimo and Area Land Trust want to get the word out that all those friendly visits could kill it. The groups also consulted with an arborist to determine the best methods to protect and restore the health of the tree and have since had a low fence built around the tree to keep visitors back from its base and a sign explaining how foot traffic can harm trees. Fences and boardwalks protecting tree roots and soil are used in various Van-

couver Island urban and wilderness parks to protect tree roots and other vegetation in sensitive areas. “At this stage they’re going to be bringing in some wood mulch
to try to start rehabilitating the soil and hopefully with less foot traffic, nature will take its course and it will rehabilitate itself,” Gratton said. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

with GPS and send it to city hall. They get a text message when the problem is fixed. Adam Chadwick, geographic information systems manager for the City of Kamloops, said the app takes about 30 seconds to use and eliminates the need for people to look up a phone number for city hall or remember where they saw the problem. The software costs $9,000 annually and while it’s hard to quantify, he says by making it easy for people to report issues, the city is more likely to find out about them sooner, leading to fewer costs, less liability and better service for citizens. “People are reporting what’s annoying to them. If you take care of those ... then you are getting back to providing the service people want and the problems concerning to them,” Chadwick said. It can also help the community stay on top of issues like graffiti. “You can drive around downtown and virtually see no graffiti because people are on it,” he said. “They take photos and it’s removed right away.” Chadwick believes more municipalities will get apps thanks to the growing number of smartphone users and said the more places that adopt it, the more functional the software will become. A motion for a report on a new app will be made at a council meeting on Sept. 29.

Too many hurt in their homes
World peace is a worthy concept, but first we need to get our own houses in order. Domestic violence continues to be a problem in Nanaimo, and even if it’s a problem everywhere, that’s no reason why we should ever accept it. Nanaimo RCMP respond to about 1,000 domestic violence calls per year in the city. Just as troubling as that figure is the knowledge that there are other incidents going unreported. Sometimes those can be the scariest situations, where victims are too fearful to say a word. Domestic violence was prominent in the news this month as a pro football player was caught on video knocking out his fiancée, and was subsequently kicked out of the league. It created dialogue across the continent about abusive relationships, why women stay in them, and how they can leave. Domestic violence is despicable, though the issues and emotions that stem from it are sometimes complicated. Haven Society has a handle on some of those issues and emotions. The Nanaimo non-profit would like to work with police, including the RCMP’s Community Victim Services, the Provincial Office of Domestic Violence and other social agencies as part of a proposed domestic violence unit. Increased community co-operation could allow all involved to deal more effectively with high-risk cases, then support and encourage victims who might be hesitant to make statements to police or testify in court. It’s crucial that the system works and that there’s a transition plan in place for victims, because women need to be able to see a way out. For those women reluctant to speak up, we hope this new unit can help to speak for them, because it speaks for the rest of us. We all agree domestic abuse is abhorrent and atavistic. We hope the men at fault get their comeuppance, but more so, we hope that for these women who are hurt, things will get better.

that brought my cabinet and I to meet face-to-face with leaders from 203 First Nations from throughout B.C. While there will always be areas of disagreement, the All Chiefs gathering confirmed we have much more in common than we do keeping us apart. We all want to protect B.C.’s splendour for future generations. We all want lasting, sustainable prosperity that allows every citizen of British Columbia to achieve his or her full potential. And we all want to live in harmony with our neighbours. Years ago, in the Delgamuukw decision, Supreme Court Chief Justice Antonio Lamer said “we’re all here to stay.” He was right. It’s up to us to find ways to build real, fair partnerships with each other. Across B.C., we will have countless opportunities to build a better province for everyone who lives here. We have proven time and again that economic development can be balanced with environmental protection and world-class quality of life. With First Nation communities at the table in an atmosphere of recognition and respect, we will all be even better off. u Premier Christy Clark contributes guest columns to the Kelowna Capital News.

Nanoose Bay is no place for a medical marijuana facility, says letter writer.
Grow pot plants elsewhere To the Editor,
Re: Proposed pot facility opposed by residents, Sept. 4. When I first heard that an application had been made to put a medical marijuana grow-op in our community, I drove down to see the parcel of land. A more beautiful and idyllically country setting would be hard to find anywhere. #7 River’s Edge residents are greatly concerned on how this proposal would impact their community. Close proximity to an aquifer and the Englishman River, marijuana odours, increased traffic and security concerns are only a few of the possible problems. To push through a project on the pretence of ‘medical’ application when the long-term objective is really commercial profit is more than being a bad neighbour. It is the epitome of selfishness and greed. The rosy picture that Wildflower tries to paint is sheer fantasy and must not be allowed to proceed.

Re: Flood signs shuffled in Harewood, Sept. 18. The mayor must apologize on behalf of the city for scaring Harewood residents and wasting close to $2 million dollars already for maintaining there were major problems with the Colliery dams. That has now been proven false. The mayor saying the city acted in good faith and in the best interests of the people is no excuse for council not doing its due diligence. Council members should have challenged and questioned staff and searched out their own unbiased information. Instead most praised staff at almost every turn for the hypothetically terrifying scenarios they were fed.

understand the information and to ask questions when we don’t. We are talking about millions of dollars and a huge intrusion to the park. We want to make sure that what is done is only what is absolutely required. It is expected that an important decision will be made about the park next week. Our hope is that we will finally be allowed to obtain the information needed to make the best plan #5 for our park.

Re: Council considers another study on Colliery dams, Sept. 18. Council’s direction to get more information regarding a study, determining how the dams will respond in a flood event, gives us more trust in the process. We have asked for this since June as it will give a better understanding of what is actually required. The engineer’s options for remediation were brought back in March, well before all the information was gathered. This rush to action based on a perceived emergency that does not exist has cost us dearly. Our group has been chastised for asking questions and demanding answers. We make no apology. We are not the experts, but we have attended all the technical meetings and spent hundreds of hours going over the reports to make sure we

Chamber celebrates anniversary
I
CElEBrATiON mArKS 125year milestone. By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN
Back in 1889 when Nanaimo’s first board of trade was chartered and shipping, railroads, mining and logging were the local kings of industry, a few influential men among a population of about 2,500 drove the board’s direction. In 1949, when the city’s annual budget was about $400,000, the Nanaimo Board of Trade evolved into the Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce and membership has increased and diversified ever since.

mer industrial giants, to software and robotics engineering firms and ever ything in between. But some things never change. Kim Smythe, chamber chief executive officer, referring to minutes from an early board of trade meeting finds parallels between past and present.
“In one of the documents there is reference to having a heated debate about should Nanaimo need more than four firemen?” Smythe said. “The city fathers wanted a fifth fireman and the board of trade was saying you can’t really afford that with the taxes you’re collecting and people certainly won’t put up
with a tax increase.” Nanaimo’s economic base has shifted dramatically in the past few decades. Today’s economic revenue generators include private, for-profit businesses, not-forprofit businesses, social enterprises and the the public sector. All of those components have to function together to make a continually evolving economy work, he said. The chamber celebrates its 125th anniversar y with a gala event at the Nanaimo Port Authority on Saturday (Sept. 27), featuring guest speaker Adam Kreek. The Olympic gold medalist and ocean adventurer is also a social entrepreneur who runs a biodiesel company and organic food bar.

CRIME STOPPERS HISTORY OF CRIMESTOPPERS
In July 1976, Greg MacAleese, a police officer investigating the fatal shooting of Michael Carmen in Albuquerque, New Mexico needed help in solving this senseless murder. He created a crime scene reenactment, put up his own reward money and guaranteed anonymity. This started the program we know today – Crime Stoppers. For his efforts, Detective MacAleese was named one of the people who changed the face of the United States in the 1970’s and was also named the country’s Police Officer of the year. Since adopting Crime Stoppers, New Mexico’s crime rate has dropped significantly. In 1979, Crime Stoppers became a national program. In 1984, the world-wide anti-crime movement “Crime Stoppers International” was created and today there are over 1000 programs in 21 countries. 1982 - Calgary started the first Canadian program 1990 - Nanaimo and District Crime Stoppers began

McKinnon is an owner of the Old House Village Hotel and Spa in Courtenay, past chairman of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Vancouver Island and a founding member of Vancouver Island University Foundation. McKay was operations manager at the Nanaimo Harbour Lynx Corporation and the general manager of SignAge. He has been the biggest spender on council since 2011, according
McKinnon, who is returning to the race after losing to Mayor John Ruttan in the last election, says the municipality is the biggest business in Nanaimo and has to be run like one, although he says social issues must also be considered. McKinnon says his first job will be looking at financial budgets and where the city is at. He also proposes to freeze property taxes for two years and look at job creation. “We just need a

But McKay says the majority of expenses are tied into conferences and he argues he’s probably learned the most. “You have to take the day off and go outside the boundaries of your community sometime to determine where you are going to go ... what the best practices are of other communities,” he said. Brunie, the only other mayoral con-
tender, has had her name on the ballot in several provincial and municipal elections. She says if elected, she’ll look at a tree-cutting moratorium on developments and make Nanaimo a skateboarding capital. The nomination period officially opens Sept. 29 and closes Oct. 10.

NEW BuILdING adds beds for community. By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN
One in three people over 85 might suffer from dementia by 2024. To prepare for that future on a local scale, a groundbreaking ceremony was held Wednesday for Eden Gardens, a 130bed, publicly-funded facility for seniors and adults needing round-the-clock care. The care centre will replace the aging 90-bed Nanaimo Travellers Lodge building on Nelson Street. The groundbreaking was hosted at the new facility’s two-hectare site at 1917 Northfield Rd. The provincial government is financing

the $26.2-million project, with Island health to provide $10.4 million in annual operating costs. The Nanaimo Travellers Lodge Society will build and operate Eden Gardens. The new centre will allow staff to offer improved programs and living facilities
based on the Eden dementia care model, which includes a new design and architectural approach that breaks the facility into six communities, consisting of two neighbourhoods with 11 private rooms complete with bathroom, plus communal living and dining rooms.
“The goal is to create an intimate, homelike living experience with small neighbourhoods and communities with space where variety and spontaneity thrive,� said Janeane Coutu, Travellers Lodge Society director. L ynne Morgan, whose husband is currently a Nanaimo Tr a v e l l e r s L o d g e resident, praised the facility’s staff and is looking forward to construction of the new centre which is expected to be completed in May 2016. “It means a world of difference,� Morgan said. “This new facility will provide so much more opportunity for the residents and the staff to provide the quality care that they’re already giving, but it will just help them make it even better.� photos@nanaimobulletin.com

Fast-food chain struggles to hire late-night workers
I
HiriNg Day aimed to fill positions. By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN
M c D o n a l d ’s h a s placed its order to satisfy the restaurant chain’s craving to fill about 1,500 positions across western Canada. Earlier this month, the corporation held a one-day hiring blitz to fill positions behind the serving counter. McDonald’s wants to hire about 150 people on Vancouver Island and some of those positions are in Nanaimo, said Christine Buckingham, manager of Terminal Park McDonald’s. Buckingham said she wants to hire about five people to complement the 60-person staff it takes to run the restaurant, which is Nanaimo’s second-busiest McDonald’s after the Nanaimo North Town Centre outlet.
“We’ve had about four or five interviews this morning,” Buckingham said. “I’ve had a lot of applications come in online also, so we can check over those if they’re interested in coming in.” Buckingham said she gets several applications each week, mostly from young people The restaurant is open 24 hours a day and the hardest positions to fill are fulland part-time positions for late night, graveyard or early morning shifts, which are usually accepted by older employees who don’t have the pressures of high school and university. “The big thing for us is finding full-time employees, people that can work weekends or evenings where it doesn’t make sense to have a young person going to school, working the late shift,” said John Gibson, McDonald’s Canada spokesman. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

Mark Walker and the rest of Nanaimo’s firefighters will have boots on the ground at shopping centres across the city Friday (Sept. 26), 5:30-8:30 p.m., and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. to collect donations for muscular dystrophy. Firefighters have raised cash for the cause since the drive was started by the Boston Fire Department in 1954.
Boots give charity a boost
I
FUNDraISerS SUppOrT charities, research for muscular dystrophy.
Nanaimo’s firefighters and a five-year-old girl are turning out to battle muscular dystrophy this weekend. Firefighters will be at Nanaimo’s major shopping centres collecting donations Friday (Sept. 26), 5:308:30 p.m., and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., in hopes of beating last year’s total of $15,000. To date, local firefighters have raised more than $300,000 to fight the disease. “The doctors are making great advancements,” said firefigher Mark Walker, boot drive organizer. “They were basically getting to the point where they were able to iso-
late genetic passes from parents and that sort of thing.” The term muscular dystrophy refers to a group of progressive muscle disorders that weaken muscles controlling body movement, leaving victims unable to walk, speak and ultimately, breathe. Some cases are fatal and there is still no cure. Hannah Houghton of Nanaimo, was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy when she was 14 months old and must use a wheelchair, but she will be at the Safeway Walk for Muscular Dystrophy on Saturday, noon to 3 p.m., at Maffeo Sutton Park. The day includes activities for kids, face painting, prize raffles, and free food. F o r m o re , p l e a s e v i s i t : http://muscle.akaraisin.com/ NanaimoWMD2014.

Credit union helps drive car share Nanaimo’s non-profit carshare co-operative was awarded $10,000 toward adding to its fleet, thanks to Coastal Community Credit Union. The money allows the car share organization to
expand its fleet of cars. The co-op plans to eventually have at least two vehicles in every neighbourhood so that they can be easily and quickly accessed for errands. “Nanaimo CarShare is a
great benefit to our local community, so it’s important to us that their efforts are strengthened and supported,” said Allyson Prescesky, credit union manager of community experience and communications.

Beefs & bouquets BOUQUET To Nesvog Meats for awesome service. I picked up my order on Saturday and found out I was short after they closed. The owner personally delivered the rest of our order to our home. He would not take any money so we will donate the money to charity.
BOUQUET To Dave and Collette of Westhill Pharmasave. Your kindness and support during my husband’s battle with cancer will always be remembered. BEEF To the city for leaving up some of the flood signs. We want them all gone. They are blight on our Harewood neighbourhood.
BEEF To harassing neighbours because your neighbour spoke out about the noise you create. Harassment is a form of bullying and against the human rights constitution for all Canadians that I so strongly defended during my military career.
BOUQUET To Ashley at the Dog’s Ear for her above and beyond amazing customer service when we needed a rush done. BEEF To the articles on increasing fish farming and logging industry. Why waste space encouraging a practice that research has proved threatens wild salmon and an industry that is not sustainable?
BOUQUET To Alice Busch Charbonneau for her report on the sad state of the support services in our local school system. BEEF To the people watching as a man on crutches struggled to get his heavy bags of shopping through the automatic door that closed on him. Also to the store for leaving it to a passerby to go back in the store and call him a taxi. Everyone just gawked.
BOUQUET To the Woottons for their excellent display of hanging flower baskets, adjacent to the Nanaimo Golf Club.
BOUQUET to Troy and his team from Vancouver Island Tree Services Ltd. Ryan and Scott removed five towering trees from my property. They cleaned up behind themselves and made a huge job look easy.
BOUQUET To Sigrid McNab for extraordinary customer service. McNab farms is a business to support.
BEEF To city council for giving away our seawall to a hotel chain.
BOUQUET to Cathy and Rob at Best Choice Quality Used Books for their expert advice on my computer issues. BEEF To the person beefing about Garfield. You sure don’t give it up do you? We are all getting sick and tired of your criticisms no matter how you phrase them. Don’t you have anything better to do? BOUQUET From Pots and Pans for Public Schools to the residents of Departure Bay and Harewood. We received a warm welcome and it was wonderful to have so many families join us on the two nights. BEEF To the City of Nanaimo for allowing non-residents to run for city council. Candidates for school board are required to be residents. BOUQUET To my wonderful wife Sherri who has forsaken her own personal time lovingly working tirelessly for many hours not without stress to ensure my enjoyable healthier life.

BEEF To the mayor and councillors. It would be more appropriate to change the name of City of Nanaimo to City of Tax and Spend. BOUQUET Beyond excellence is the service you will find at Uptown Auto Sales when you’re looking for just the right car. Salesman Pat Cody is a credit to the company and a pleasure to do business with.

BEEF To the person who failed to pick up his or her dog’s excrement at Swy-a-Lana Lagoon. My four-year-old son fell off his bike and landed right in it. If you are not going to pick up after your dog then don’t own one – you never know when your negligence is going to ruin somebody’s afternoon.

BEEF To the fellow working in the paint department. Customers ask questions – that is part of your job. Snapping at me that it is up to you what paint I buy and what the letters mean is not good customer service. From now on I will buy my supplies elsewhere.
________________________________________________________________________________
BEEF To the guy in the black pickup on Douglas Avenue with the old yellow lab loose in the box. The dog may have ridden this way all his life but he is getting old and unstable. He is at risk of falling out when he rides with his feet up on the wheel well and you take a corner too fast or brake suddenly.
BEEF To the folks who consistently throw their garbage from their vehicles between the Southgate Mall and Douglas Road area. Also a beef to the folks who drop off their garbage at the local industrial site, not caring when most of it floats out onto Tenth Street from their pickups.
BOUQUET To the two sides in the teachers’ strike for coming to an agreement.
Beefs & Bouquets is a free forum to give thanks or express views on issues and events. The News Bulletin reserves the right to edit or refuse submissions.

Mail or deliver to the News Bulletin, 777B Poplar St., Nanaimo, V9S 2H7 or e-mail to bulletinboard@nanaimobulletin.com. Fax to 250-753-0788.
BOUQUET To Jacob who fixed my flat tire at Port Place shopping centre Friday evening. Thank you for your kindness – I really appreciated your help.
BOUQUET To my kind neighbours Sarah and Dan, who kept the dogs in and allowed access for the tree removal on my property through the top of their yard.
BEEF To the grocery store. Bread had been taken off the shelves and the loaves were strewn around the floor with nothing underneath them. Shelves empty – floor covered with all the bread. What a filthy practice.
Submit your own Beef or Bouquet
BEEF To Microsoft for selling my personal information to companies overseas so I can be telephone solicited by aggressive bloodsuckers insisting my computer is about to crash any moment. Apparently being on the province’s do-not-call list makes no difference to the purveyors of global greed.
BEEF To the parents who set up a play area in the middle of the street, with their car blocking view of oncoming traffic. A recent encounter with a very young child on a bike took years off my life. The church lot seems a better bet for all concerned.

Home ice special for Clippers’ captain Inbrief sports
Brendan Taylor, who is from Nanaimo, leads BCHL club in his last year in city BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
A decade ago, he watched his hometown Nanaimo Clippers win a championship, excite on the ice and fill Frank Crane Arena. Now he has a chance to help make those kind of memories for the next generation of hockey fans. Brendan Taylor, chosen captain of the 201415 Nanaimo Clippers last week, will lead his team onto the ice for its home opener this Friday (Sept. 26). It meant a lot to the Nanaimoite to get the ‘C’ on his sweater. “To wear it for the Nanaimo Clippers, it’s in my hometown and I’m extremely honoured to be able to do that, especially with it being my last season,” he said. The 19-year-old, in his fourth year with the Clips, has committed to attend Union College, an NCAA Div. 1 school, next fall. First, though, he gets to try to take another stride in the orange and black. He’s already got 164 career BCHL games under his belt. He started as a checker and rounded out his game, leading the team in goals (23) and points (55) last season. Now he adds the captaincy to his list of roles and responsibilities. “I’m hoping it’ll help Brendan go from being a good player to a great
player in our league,” said Mike Vandekamp, Clippers coach. “With more accountability and needing to really push himself to be a leader by example, I think it’s going to help his game.” The coach said the new captain is a smart player who understands the Clippers’ team concepts. “I think I’ve got to be more of a leader,” Taylor said. “I’ve got to step outside my comfort zone, be more of a vocal guy – I’m kind of a quiet guy – and lead by example on the ice and off the ice.” With responsibility comes expectations. The Clippers want results from Taylor and he recognizes that. “Maybe you put a little bit of pressure on yourself and maybe a little bit more is expected sometimes, but you’ve got to learn to play with pressure,” he said. He’s seen the rewards. He was watching in the stands as past Clippers captains came through in the clutch. And now, a fresh sheet of ice at Frank Crane Arena awaits the exploits of Taylor and his teammates. “After a long summer not having played in this building in a regularseason game, it’s nice to get back,” he said. “Definitely the positive energy in the building will be a good thing for the guys to experience.”
The V.I. Raiders take on a playoff-bound team this week as they visit the Kamloops Broncos. The Broncos (6-2) have clinched a spot in the B.C. Football Conference post-season and the Raiders (3-5) can clinch a berth this weekend depending on results around the BCFC. The Raiders and Broncos play Saturday (Sept. 27) at 7 p.m. at Hillside Stadium.
Bucs, Braves will do battle The Nanaimo Buccaneers have been one of the top teams in the league so far this season, and they’ll look to maintain their momentum. The Bucs host the Saanich Braves tonight (Sept. 25) at 7:15 p.m. at the Nanaimo Ice Centre. The Bucs’ last game was a 5-3 road win over the Oceanside Generals. Trent Bell, Will McNamara, Jordan Levesque, Clayton Peace and Rowan Siider scored in that game. GREG SAKAKI/THE NEWS BULLETIN

Volkswagen has had an impressive ride here during the past few years, gaining market share and selling record numbers of cars – its best-selling car being the Jetta. When the last VW Jetta was introduced in 2011, it represented a major shift in the company’s sales philosophy. The decision was to make a larger sedan, yet drop the price to compete right in the heart of Canada’s compact segment, our largest sales category. The Jetta is the biggest car in the compact class, offering a gateway into owning a German car, yet having the space and comfort North Americans expect. For 2015 VW continues with the same philosophy but ups the ante to include new engines, styling and interior amenities. It would be easy to overlook the substantial updates to this new Jetta because the exterior tweaks are so subtle they need pointing out. The front grille, bumper and headlamps have all been replaced to include a bigger air opening and LED marker lights, plus xenon headlights are available. The drive event for the all-new Jetta was held in Middleburg, Va.’s rolling hills and winding roads, a perfect place to exercise the new suspension and engines. The previous car was recently updated to a full independent suspension and that carries over, as do disc brakes on all four wheels. The big news is a new 1.8L direct injection, turbocharged four-cylinder with 170hp but an impressive 185 lb.-ft of torque. If I drove a lot, the diesel would be the way to go, but for more, fun the new 1.8L is impressive. Still in the mix is the old 2.0L four-cylinder with 115hp offered in all Trendline and Comfortline models. At first glance the 2015 Jetta looks like a warmedover update but under the surface is substantial change. The highlights are the new interior and wonderful optional engines.

Singer finds career in music after freak performance
I
WiL PLAYS at Port Theatre this Friday.
By Nicholas Pescod The News BulleTiN
It was a random acoustic performance at a birthday party in Calgary that changed everything for singer-songwriter Wil. “I just fell ass backwards into it,” said the musician, whose full name is Wil Mimnaugh. The next thing he knew, he was performing regularly at bars and pubs throughout the city. “I played bars in Calgary five nights a week and I was doing covers for 10 years,” Wil explained.“I went from bar to bar four to five nights a week all throughout Calgary. I cut my teeth on that whole scene.” Now a veteran in the music industry, the Vancouver Islandbased singer will be opening for Burton Cummings at the Port Theatre on Friday (Sept. 26). “It’s really cool because my dad was a massive Guess Who fan, which is like, whose dad wasn’t?” Wil said. “It means a lot because of my father and his musical influence.” Next week Wil, who has toured with the likes of Colin James, The Tea Party and Matthew Good, will be releasing his fifth studio album, El Paseo, to Cordova Bay Records.

“I actually believe it could probably be my best work,” he said about the new record. “I don’t look at it like an item on a merch table that I can make a bit of money from. It’s a record I can be stoked about.” Wil took a different approach to creating El Paseo than he had with his previous records. “This one was made one song at a time ... we didn’t sit down and track all the drums for all the songs. We took it one

song at a time. It was very different.” Although Wil’s musical career began suddenly, he long held an interest in music. “I was brought up
in music,” he said. “My dad was a weekend warrior, played guitar and sang and he was super passionate about music even though that is not what he did [full time].” A decade ago, Wil found himself performing at Canadian Music Week in Toronto when he was noticed and eventually signed by EMI. “Everything lined up,” Wil recalled. “Nobody was in the room except for the right two people you could ever want.”

or break your shit just as much as you can,” Wil said. “He can just hate you and keep you low volume, or he can care about what you are doing and really put some effort into it. Even if it is only three songs.” Shortly after being signed to EMI, the label re-released Both Hands, an album which Wil had originally released on his own. The record would go on to sell over 6,000 copies. For many musicians, being signed
to a major label is the point in which they’ve made it, but for Wil, making it means something different. “Making a record is a massive accomplishment,” he said. “I think that is what making it means.” In 2007, shortly after releasing By December, Wil was dropped by EMI after the label began downsizing. “It’s a business where everyone will tell you what they think of you even though you didn’t ask,” Wil explained. “That’s what you sign up for. I think at the time I didn’t have any expectations.” After a few years of being independent, Wil found success with his 2011 single, Roam, which ended up being featured in a tourism campaign. “All you gotta do is look at one of those videos from Travel Alberta and who wouldn’t want their song against that?” he said. “It’s not just some guy with a handheld camera showing you pictures of Pincher Creek and a waterfall.” Now with Cordova Bay Records, Wil has advice for young artists. “Do what makes you passionate no matter if it pays or doesn’t pay,” Wil said. “Make decisions not based on money, but on how you feel and what makes you happy.” Wil plays the Port Theatre on Friday.

N a n a i m o ’s J u d y Magnussen found herself amongst the sandstone formations that grace the landscape of Sedona, Ariz., when it hit her. “I felt like I had been
there in a past life,” Magnussen told the News Bulletin. “There was a real connection.” That connection was just one among many that Magnussen felt during her spiritual retreat to the Grand Canyon State. “I just loved every part of it,” she said. “It was a great experience.” Magnussen, a former school secretary
in Port Alberni, has documented her spiritual experiences in Sedona and a number of other places in her latest book, Judy Tells. “ I t ’s a b o u t m y experiences and the places I’ve been,” she said. “It’s part of my journey.” On Saturday (Sept. 27) the Nanaimobased author will be holding a book launch and signing at Lobelia’s Lair, from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. Magnussen, who is now retired, has spent the last several years practising various energy techniques.

Dumb comedy, smart comedy, beautiful poetry and chunky poetry are the words used by British performance poet Jem Rolls to describe his 30-minute show, Jem Rolls Attacks the Silence. “I plan it for variety so people don’t know what is coming next,” Rolls told the News Bulletin. Rolls, who has participated in 100 fringe festivals, will be performing his show at the Harbour City Theatre on Sunday (Sept. 28) at 7 p.m. “I have short pieces, I have long pieces,” Rolls explained. “I have extended intros to pieces that are completely different than what I’ve led them up to be. It’s kind of like a sucker-punch.” Jem Rolls Attacks the Silence has received rave reviews from a number of Canadian publications including Toronto Now.

As recommended by Dr. Gifford-Jones M. D. Helps to reduce the time it takes to fall a sleep. In most cases also stops snoring and gasping for air (sleep apnea) first night. Stops torturing your partner all night. Good sleep prevents being tired next day. Tired people work only at half capacity. What people truly experience: < I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH < Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS < For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. #23 NPN 80027595 Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS <It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON.
