Province bans fishing in most streams as drought level rises

until a fire crew responded to fully extinguish it. Mond said in many cases it’s obvious smokers aren’t even bothering to try and extinguish cigarettes and are just tossing lit smokes on the ground. Near areas where wildland fire have started, he has found numerous cigarette butts on the ground. Dozens of firefighters from North Oyster, North Cedar and Cranberry volunteer fire departments continue to work on a wildfire in North Oyster that broke out Thursday, possibly due to a spark from farm equipment, that consumed more than 10 hectares of land and required drops of fire retardant from air tankers to bring under control.
Hot, dry, windy conditions prompted the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources to announce a Level 4 drought rating for the Island on Friday. The province also suspended angling in streams and rivers across southern Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands to protect fish already stressed by dwindling and warming water flows. Level 4 is the highest drought-level rating, meaning further declines in stream, lake and aquifer levels could lead to water shortages affecting people, agriculture, wildlife and fish stocks. Julie Pisani, Regional District of Nanaimo drinking water and watershed protection program coordinator, said the regional district expected the announcement and is taking it seriously. “For now we’re going to remain at Level 3 watering restrictions and monitor the situation over the next week,” Pisani said, adding that if residents don’t dramatically reduce water consumption the regional district could enforce a Level 4 watering ban. Bill Sims, city manager of water resources, said so far, people have responded to municipal Level 2 water restrictions. Nanaimo’s Jump Lake reservoir is at 90 per cent capacity and if residents continue to conserve, water supplies should last until October. “We want to respond appropriately with our main focus to be preserving our water supply and also the environmental health of the Nanaimo River,” Sims said. The regional district also closed the Trans Canada Trail between the Timberlands Road trailhead near the Haslam Creek Suspension Bridge and the Harewood Mines Road trailhead in Nanaimo due to extreme fire hazards. All logging road gates on Timberwest and Island Timberlands private forestry lands on the east side of the Island are also closed to the public.

Fires blamed on discarded cigarettes
I
CREWS BUSY this weekend putting out brush fires. BY CHRIS BUSH THE NEWS BULLETIN
Careless discarding of cigarettes attributed to the majority of wildland, landscape and bark mulch fires on the weekend. Two structures suffered damage, including a house on Howard Avenue where a brush fire burned a fence and melted soffits Friday night and a funeral chapel on Bowen Road where a improperly butted cigarette caught a cedar hedge on fire Saturday and caused minor damage to the building’s exterior.
Capt. Ennis Mond, Nanaimo Fire Rescue fire prevention officer, said all fires over the weekend were likely caused by smoking, including a brush fire that consumed about one hectare of land near Mary Ellen Drive and signalled the start of the blazes. The largest fires, including one near Jingle Pot Road that tied up units from four fire stations and burned a portion of Hawthorne Park Saturday, grew to about one hectare in size each before they were brought under control. Cappy Yates Park at Fitzwilliam and Wallace streets Friday and a brushy area on Skinner Street Sunday also burned due to human carelessness. Firefighters also had to snuff out a campfire
lit by homeless people living in the bush near Caledonia Park. A half-hectare-sized fire behind student housing at Vancouver Island University at about 2 a.m. Monday was also likely sparked by a cigarette. “Practically all of them have been human-caused,” Mond said. Assistant fire chief Greg Norman had to grab a fire extinguisher to snuff out a landscape fire while picking up sandwiches from the Subway restaurant on Bowen Road Saturday. “He was out getting nourishment for the crews on the Jingle Pot fire and lo and behold the plants are on fire,” Mond said. Norman knocked the fire down with an extinguisher

Smoke advisory issued
I
air quality rated as moderate by provincial environment ministry.
Island Health and the Ministry of Environment have issued a wildfire smoke advisory communities from Campbell River to Victoria currently under a thick pall of smoke. Nanaimo residents woke up to orange skies Saturday morning when smoke and ash generated by wildfires in the B.C. interior and from a fire in Sechelt settled in over the Island. A wildfire smoke advisory issued
Sunday cautioned people to avoid strenuous activities outdoors. Smoke and ash particles can be particularly concerning for infants and the elderly who might already have underlying medical issues. Nanaimo’s air quality was rated as a moderate health risk Monday, according to B.C. Air Quality, a division of the provincial Ministry of Environment. Environment Canada predicted sunny skies and only locally generated smoke in the air today (July 7) as wind patterns were expected to shift overnight.

Council faces deadline on dams
I
FullEr SayS issue is about standing up for what’s right.
By Tamara CuNNiNgham The News bulleTiN
As Colliery dam advocates rally to attend a city committee of the whole meeting and the Environmental Appeal Board denies a stay, Nanaimo’s mayor voices concern his council could flout provincial law. “We have to remember we’re a product of the province under the Community Charter,” said Mayor Bill McKay. “We don’t have the right to ignore provincial law.” Nanaimo is two years and close to $3-million deep into the Colliery dams issue and was on the verge Monday of deciding whether to abide by a provincial government decree or defy it. The dam spillways aren’t
up to standard, according to the B.C. comptroller of water rights, which has issued an order for council to mostly complete remediation on structures this November. With the city’s petition for a stay to pause that requirement now rejected by the Environmental Appeal Board, there’s nothing standing in the way of the city doing the work. The comptroller has given the city until July 24 to pick a remediation option acceptable to the province and is now considering enforcement and compliance options. McKay believes the comptroller will use his powers to enforce the Water Act and that to defy the order would be “absolutely reckless.” He says council has to make a decision to remediate the dams and fast, but he’s also concerned council will ignore provincial law. “I’m concerned and we should be cautioning council that should they disobey the
order that’s been given to us that we’re putting the community at significant risk of liability,” he said. City staff members proposed the an auxiliary spillway, estimated at between $2.8 million to $5.5 million to fix the lower dam, during an open meeting after press time Monday. Coun. Gord Fuller, however, wants to continue to move ahead with a motion that would see the city work on the middle dam first while it creates a select committee and studies the lower structure. It was an alternative dismissed by the province, but to do work on the lower dam without first knowing the flow capacity of the spillway is “ludicrous,” said Fuller, who is prepared to flout the order. “I am concerned about them coming down on the city. It’s not that I’m not concerned,” he said. “But I think sometimes, you have to stand up for what’s right.” news@nanaimobulletin.com

It’s a 13-candidate byelection race for the District of Lantzville. The nomination period closed Friday with 13 candidates competing for seats recently relinquished by four politicians. It’s more candidates than residents have seen in the previous three general elections. The vast majority of candidates are new to Lantzville politics, with the exception of former councillors Doug Parkhurst and Warren Griffey. Teamwork and consensus-building are also emerging as common themes for candidates campaigning on the heels of four councillor and two senior staff resignations. Candidates include Dot Neary, Joan Moody, Peter Popperl, Bob Colclough, Jennifer Bielewski, John English, Will Wyn Geselbracht, Mike Donald, Richard Finnegan, John Garenkooper and Mark Swain. Council hopefuls have until Friday (July 10) to withdraw their candidacy. The byelection is Aug. 8.

Journalism matters here
The best kind of newspaper, we think, is the one that’s sitting on your table. The one that’s been thumbed through, with a classified ad circled, a coupon clipped out, and a ring of dried coffee where you laid down your mug. It’s self-serving to ask you to read the newspaper, but we hope that you do, and we hope that you value professional journalism, whether in your community newspaper or across the media spectrum. The Nanaimo News Bulletin and Black Press are participating in the Journalism Is campaign, launched nationwide last month. Newspapers, media companies, unions and journalism schools are among the partners in the project. The intent is to try to mobilize media consumers around the importance of professional journalism. Media is changing, rapidly and inexorably. Social media presents us with news and views, in 140 characters or fewer, all day, every day. There are infinite scraps of information and misinformation at our fingertips. And that’s why we think professional journalism is more important than ever. Reporters seek the facts and the truth and when we tell stories, we try to tell the whole story. We try to tell it fairly and accurately. We wish to protect the public interest and demand accountability – comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable, as the saying goes. The Bulletin, Black Press, and media across the country employ journalists who are committed to all these ideals. We have drive and desire and we will take the initiative and the responsibility to tell the stories that matter to communities – your stories, our stories. To us, that’s what journalism is. To media consumers, all we would ask is that you continue to read with a critical and discerning eye, write letters to the editor, engage, think. Thumb through the paper. Circle classified ads, clip coupons, spill a little coffee, but most of all, read. The Nanaimo News Bulletin is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry. The council considers complaints from the public about the conduct of member newspapers. Directors oversee the mediation of complaints, with input from both the newspaper and the complaint holder. If talking with the editor or publisher does not resolve your complaint about coverage or story treatment, you may contact the B.C. Press Council. Your written concern, with documentation, should be sent to B.C. Press Council, PO Box 1356, Ladysmith,V9G 1A9. For information, phone 888-687-2213 or go to www.bcpresscouncil.org.

water for drinking is not a renewable resource in the short term and if we overdraw, let alone over-pollute the world’s water, shortages will not be replenished in sync with everincreasing use.

Plan first, then fix dams
Signs shouldn’t intimidate politicians how can we expect that person to stand up for the taxpayers against 20 or 30 people wanting millions of tax dollars for their special interests? Or how will that person be able to stand tall when dealing with international companies or senior government or even our own city staff? If the fear of intimidation is that great, the person should resign and allow someone who is not easily intimidated to take their place. Guiding the future of Nanaimo is too important to be left in the hands of a person or persons that admit that signs intimidated them so much they cannot do their job for which they were elected.
To the Editor,
I find it unbelievable that people would run for public office who are intimidated by a sign saying ‘professional trough feeder’ or ‘stop the madness.’ Not only that, but being so intimidated it forced that person to call in the RCMP.

To the Editor,
Re: City’s grounds for appeal on dam called ‘frivolous,’ June 23. I am certain that most people do not understand the latest developments in this drawn-out saga. Most recently, the provincial authority has placed an order directing the city to choose an option for remediation of the lower dam this year. Considering the Dam Safety Section accepted studies that were obviously and seriously flawed and are now insisting work be done without proper investigation, we are skeptical. The majority of council supported a stay and appeal of

this order. They put forward a proposal that should satisfy the province and comply with the necessary standards. The proposal is to have work completed at the middle dam this year, with further investigation of the lower dam to assess what is needed. As rash decisions made under duress with inadequate or incorrect information has cost our city dearly, I question why there remains such an urgent push to spend millions before determining a proper understanding of the problem.

Nanaimo Mayor Bill McKay, then a city councillor, goes for a dip at Colliery Dam Park last spring.
To the Editor,
Several new city councillors have so quickly forgotten how they stood in their places on the campaign trail, vowing not to mess up the park and not to waste millions of taxes. The provincial government is a bully. Having gotten its ‘facts’ so wrong in regards to the stability of the dams in case of earthquake, it now claims the likelihood of a great deluge. This is a very expensive and totally foolish face-saving gesture. May I suggest that council girds its collective loins and shows some grit. With a provincial election in a couple of years, the government is unlikely to stamp on the good citizens of Nanaimo.

Louise Gilfoy Nanaimo
To the Editor,
Of late, I’ve run into a few city officials who believe that political support for preserving Colliery Dam Park and its dams is running dry and that political momentum is swinging toward resolving the issues quickly. I
have two objections to this. First, political support for preserving the park and dams has never wavered. While this support is based on a few core beliefs, it is also supported by sound reasoning, hard facts and observation. Second, the issues surrounding the dams were manufactured by a few city staff manipulating a previous council. While one can argue that the city staff was well intentioned, this road was paved with misinformation, distraction, scare tactics and stonewalling. If we have politicians who are irresponsible and careless over city assets, then we have a problem. But the bigger problem is that we have a few on staff who are underserving the citizens and abusing the political system. Proceeding with any alternative to mitigating the dams solves neither of those problems and leaves the city exposed to far greater risk than is represented by those dams.

John (Jack) MacDonald May 1935 – June 2015
Lord Willing and the creek don’t rise… Jack MacDonald would be there with a warm smile, helpful hand, a giving heart and always something interesting to talk about. It saddens us to share the news that John Donald MacDonald (given name) passed away at his home in the early hours of June 25, 2015. Proud to be born in Yorkton SK he carried through his life deep roots and strong connections to friends and family from his growing years. He set out West to work as a Telegraph operator for the Railroad on Vancouver Island working for many years in the Duncan/Ladysmith area. The demand for operators decreased and he went to work for the WCB Communications department in Vancouver. Upon Retiring he moved to Nanaimo, where he set about creating an amazing social network. Long time member of the Brechin United Church he volunteered his time and talents to committees and the loaves & fishes food bank. He was known in the boater’s community on the waterfront, Newcastle Channel, owning a sailboat, and had some great adventures, setting out on trips to meet up with friends he had made into his own family. Jack was an avid clock collector of all eras, which put extra heartbeats in his home. He played golf, and to this day had clubs in his car at the ready. A supporter of local artists, the Museum, CBC Radio all fed into his plethora of local and world history… and filled the remaining walls of his home with paintings. He boasted a wonderful trip to Paris a few years back just before his health started to slow him down. It was a blessing that he had reached 80 years of age, we would have loved to share with him more. Jack was predeceased by his only sister Margaret (Ruth) Kuch and her husband Ed Kuch, and leaves behind his Nephew John and his partner Deborah Kruks of Port Alberni; Niece Andrea Kuch of Toronto; and Niece Louise McKean and her Husband Kent of Winnipeg. All of whom were as dear to him as they were his own. The remaining cousins, relatives and close friends will also find an empty space where there once was a fine caring man who filled their lives with love and friendship. A service/celebration of life will be held in honor of John (Jack) MacDonald at the Brechin United Church in the Fall. There will be a brief announcement in the local paper but if you wish to be contacted when the date is set, please call 250-754-3106 or email fjcosta@telus.net and leave your name with Joan or Fernando Costa.

Baseball season will go down to the wire
I
PIRATES TEAM wraps up busy weekend.
The Nanaimo Pirates have been playing some big ball games as the playoffs get closer. The most noteworthy game of late was a barnburner on Canada Day. The Hub City Paving Pirates swept the Victoria Mariners last Wednesday at Serauxmen Stadium, winning 14-13 in extra innings, then hanging on for a 6-5 win in the rematch. “It was Canada Day fireworks, there’s no question. It was one of the wildest games I’ve been involved with in a long time,” said Doug Rogers, Pirates manager. “Even though it’s a coach’s nightmare to watch a 14-13 game, I bet the fans loved it,” Rogers said. “They probably thought that was the best game they’ve ever watched.” The M’s built a 4-0 lead in the top of the first inning, the Pirates replied with six runs of their own in the bottom half, and that set the tone. Vic actually led 12-6 at one point but couldn’t make the lead stand. In the eighth inning, North Rainey was inserted as a pinch runner at first, Garrett Goodall doubled to the wall in left, and Rainey sprinted around the bases so fast that the M’s didn’t even attempt a throw to the plate. “We really battled back in the first one,” s a i d G o o d a l l . “ We started off down, but we stuck together and

got our bats going like we do and it worked out.” Josh Burgmann made his season debut for Nanaimo in the early game and was the winning pitcher, allowing one run over three innings while striking out four. Goodall and Cole Warken hit two doubles each and Kevin Sengara, Josh CarlessJones and Aaron Page had two hits apiece. In the second game, Page was the winning pitcher, giving up no earned runs over four innings. Shane Rogers hit two doubles and scored two runs and Chris Vlaj had a pair of hits.
THE NEWS BULLETIN
Nanaimo Pirates pitcher Garrett Goodall throws a strike during last Wednesday’s game against the Victoria Mariners.
O n S a t u rd a y, t h e Pirates lost 10-3 to the North Shore Twins at Serauxmen Stadium. Pitcher Robert Busch took the loss in that game, who pitched two innings before six runs off five hits saw him replaced with Garrett Goodall, who saw another four runs scored off seven hits. The Twins’ Robert Hemer took the win with two runs in six innings of play. James Bradwell recorded the save. Pirates’ first baseman Matt Skingle had two hits and one RBI in the loss, which only went seven innings. Things didn’t go much better Sunday when the Pirates faced the North
Delta Blue Jays, dropping that game 7-1 in seven innings. Pirates’ pitcher Sam Baker took the loss, allowing four runs off four hits in 3.2 innings. He was relieved by Aaron Page who allowed another three runs off three hits before Bryce Stomquist pitched the final scoreless inning. Blue Jays Daniel Gosselin took the win in the game, allowing one run in seven innings. North Rainey had the sole run for the Pirates. GAME ON … The Pirates have a break in league play until July 17, when they host the Coquitlam Reds at Serauxmen Stadium at 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.
Timbermen play rematch with Thunder The losing streak continued for the Nanaimo Timbermen when the We s t e r n L a c ro s s e Team dropped a 7-6 decision to the Langley Thunder. The Timbermen increased its losing skid to eight games with the loss at Frank Crane Arena Saturday. Nanaimo led by a goal after the first period, scoring three goals to Langley’s two. In the second, Langley evened the score with three goals to Nanaimo’s two. The visiting team pulled out the win in the third period, scoring two goals to Nanaimo’s one, leaving the final at 7-6 for the visiting squad. Nanaimo goalie Peter Dubenski earned the first star in the game, however, facing 48 shots in the loss. Timbermen forward Jake Emms earned the third star, scoring two goals in the game. Mitch Parker and Cayle Ratcliff each had three points in the game, with Parker scoring one goal and two assists, while Ratcliff scored two and helped on one. Timbermen sit in last place in the standings. GAME ON … The Timbermen and Thunder play a rematch this Wednesday (July 8) at the Langley Events Centre. The T-men visit the Coquitlam Adanacs on Saturday, and Nanaimo’s next home game is July 14, when the Victoria Shamrocks visit Frank Crane Arena for a 7 p.m. faceoff.
Buccaneers bring back veterans to junior B hockey team
I
SNIPER, D-MAN return to play for city’s junior B squad.
The Nanaimo Buccaneers are bringing back a couple of established vets to add to a rebuilt roster. The city’s junior B hockey club announced that sniper
Will McNamara and Jake Calverley, both of Nanaimo, have been re-acquired. McNamara spent the second half of last season with the Campbell River Storm where he won the Cyclone Taylor Cup and Keystone Cup, but wanted to come back home for his 20-year-old season. He was third in the league in scoring last year with 80 points in 46
games. Calverley played most of last year with Saskatchewan’s Battleford North Stars. The Bucs also announced some of its recruits for the coming Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League season. Joining the team will be goalies Cole Manns and Alex Orth, defencemen Tyler Graham and Aiden Tegart and forwards Conner Mowatt, Jayden
Schubert, Jesse Strangward and Billy Walters. Manns played Tier 1 midget in Nanaimo last year and according to a press release the goalie impressed Bucs ownership and coaches with his performance and attitude. Mowatt is another Nanaimo product who was acquired from the Peninsula Panthers. He is a physical presence at
6-foot-3, 200 pounds. Walters, a fast-skater, was an affiliate player with the Bucs last year. The Buccaneers, with their all-new coaching staff headed by Dan Lemmon, will hold main camp Aug. 14-16 and the VIJHL season starts Sept. 4. For more information, please visit www.buccaneers.vijhl. com.
