Federal project review holds up rail service on Vancouver Island BY KARL YU THE NEWS BULLETIN

The plan for restoration of train service on Vancouver Island is awaiting federal approval, according to Bill McKay, Nanaimo mayor and Island Corridor Foundation board chairman. The B.C. government recently re-affirmed a $7-million commitment for the E&N rail line and the federal government did similarly for $7.5 million. The federal government said the money is contingent on completion of a federal project review, signing of a contribution agreement and confirmation that no further federal money will be needed. Federal money is also contingent on provision of provincial money. Infrastructure Canada said it couldn’t ISLAND RAIL upgrades provide any projectestimated to cost specific information $20.4 million. at this time, but did say it is continuing to work with the foundation on completion of the review. McKay said the foundation needs to work on some of the language within the contract that allows flexibility to be able to buy more or less, without jeopardizing funding. He pointed to an example of 110,000 rail ties that need to replaced. “So if we were to say, look, your money will buy this many ties, but we’ve now been able to get more for the same price, we would like to take advantage of that,” said McKay. “They’re just getting into the fine details of the contracts themselves. These things, for whatever reason, become a lot more complicated than you ever imagine.” McKay didn’t want to place a timeline on when the federal government signs off. “I’d like to see rail running on the majority of that line next summer,” he said. The province said it will provide money once federal funding is in place and that upgrade work won’t exceed $20.4 million budgeted.

Ian Thorpe, Nanaimo city council member, surveys Maffeo Sutton Park for areas that could use improvement Thursday. The city has preliminary designs to help spiff up the park and is gathering public input on the ideas.

Park improvement options explored

MAFFEO SUTTON could see expanded beach, piers and wildlife refuge. BY TAMARA CUNNINGHAM THE NEWS BULLETIN

Nanaimo’s most popular waterfront park could get a refresh. The City of Nanaimo is about to release draft sketches of a re-imagined Maffeo Sutton Park in the lead up to an updated improvement plan,

with ideas that include an urban wildlife refuge, an expanded beach, parkade and piers. Now it will be up to residents to decide what sticks and what gets tossed on the cutting room floor. A forward-looking plan for the waterfront park was first crafted in 2008, but just three years later the city was back at the drawing board after it added 0.9 hectares of land originally slated for condos. There are other reasons for the review as well, according to Kirsty MacDonald, the city’s parks and open

space planner, who points to the need for capital improvements on features like the playground and the changing context of the park. Nanaimo has a proposed Hilton hotel, the potential redevelopment of the Howard Johnson and the pending transfer of land to the Snuneymuxw First Nation at the corner of Cliff Street and Comox Road. “At this stage we’re playing around with ideas,” said MacDonald, who’s been looking at possible additions to the park.

Councillor pitches parking lot for hotel site By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN

A Gordon Street lot could go from proposed luxury hotel to parking lot. Coun. Bill Bestwick wants council to look at turning 100 Gordon St. into a pay parking lot for tourist buses and RVs as the municipality prepares to buy the property from hotel developer SSS Manhao. City council elected last month to purchase the former 21-storey conference centre hotel site for more than $500,000 after the development company refused the city’s terms for an extension to get a building permit. The property will transfer back into the city’s hands Aug. 24, and while its future hasn’t yet been decided, Bestwick wants to see staff

Demolition work on Wellington Secondary School’s A block got underway Thursday. The operation is part of seismic upgrades, which will continue in sections of the building as students attend classes in other area not under construction.

look into the options and costs to remove the fencing and signage for the proposed hotel, as well as turn the area into a temporary pay parking lot for large vehicles. It would be a return to an old use of the site, which had been parking prior to construction of the Vancouver Island Conference Centre. “It’s rather unsightly and I think that we can put that piece of dirt to better use for the general public,” said Bestwick, who believes the changed use for the property could be a revenue generator, nicer visually and provide a benefit to campers, trucks and buses. Mayor Bill McKay told the News Bulletin he’s been approached by Protection Island residents who want an inexpensive parking lot for

their use and that’s something to consider. He has no issue with a parking lot on a temporary basis as long as the city can pay for it, but he doesn’t want to invest too much in the property if the city is going to put it back on the market. “If there’s some revenue to be derived off of it on an interim basis without a lot of capital investment in it, I’d probably be OK with that,” he said. “At least we’re seeing some revenue off it.” McKay also hopes to address the question of what should happen with the conference centre, which could affect the future use of the Gordon Street site. The parking lot motion is anticipated to go before council next Monday (Aug. 17). news@nanaimobulletin.com

Seismic upgrades to Wellington Secondary School will continue until early 2016, according to the Nanaimo school district. Wellington was deemed the district school most at risk of structural failure and damage in an earthquake event. A project agreement with the B.C. government was signed in February 2013. The scope of the project includes an extended wing expansion, wall and roof demolition and replacement and a new entrance off of Departure Bay Road. Emil Bock, school district acting manager for energy and capital projects, said work is on schedule. G block, the new section at the rear of the school, is nearing completion for a September opening. Some work will continue after school begins on Sept. 8, according to Bock. “Ongoing will be F block [at] the

these general options that we’re presenting,” said Ian Thorpe, city councillor and chairman of the parks and recreation commission.

City struggles to find doctors

rEcruitiNg hElpS maintain physicians in Nanaimo.

By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN

Five family doctors have moved to the Harbour City since the Division of Family Practice put a new recruiter on the job. Six family medicine residents have decided to stay and four more doctors are coming this fall. But if you’re one of 11,880 people in this region believed to be without a doctor, you’d still be hard pressed to find one. The Nanaimo Division of Family Practice, a group that includes physicians, family medicine residents and hospitalists, has taken on the challenge of doctor recruitment and retention in Nanaimo with the help of a new recruitment coordinator, marketing and welcome packages. It’s been a little more than a year and the organization is already celebrating successes, from creation of a new locum program that’s caught the attention of other Vancouver Island communities to reaching its recruitment goals with nine doctors by the

end of this year. But recruiter Myla Yeomans-Routledge also acknowledges that the division’s efforts are only sustaining, not increasing, physician numbers. A recent survey through the division shows that of 100 in-clinic family doctors in Nanaimo, 20-25 are expected to retire in the next three years. The majority of new doctors are taking over clinics, preventing the issue of orphaned patients from getting worse, but there are also currently no openings for people seeking a family doctor. The division started up its recruitment push last July and will see double the number of doctors arrive than in the previous two fiscal years. Island Health had been the primary recruiter until now for communities across Vancouver Island. Four doctors settled in Nanaimo in 2012-13, of 34 drawn to the Island, and two of 39 came here in 201314. With the help of the Nanaimo Division of Family Practice, the two organizations are covering more ground at medical conferences. Nanaimo’s recruiter is personally reaching out to prospective doctors such as former family medicine residents to help persuade them to come to the Harbour City.

A new locum list has been created to better support residents looking to stay and temporarily take over family practice vacancies. The new list is a one-stop place for residents themselves to look at opportunities and they can pick and choose where they go. Other divisions covering Victoria, Cowichan, Oceanside and the Comox Valley have also come on board. Communities are now working together to recruit locums, which is “huge,” Yeomans-Routledge said. She is trying to spread the word that Nanaimo is looking for physicians. She attends conferences across the country to showcase the city and helps support physicians considering the area as their new home, from providing information, to helping spouses find jobs, to offering accommodation and airport pickup. The division is also looking at creating a small welcome package and will be asking local businesses for help, from car rentals to discounts at recreation centres. “Five recruits is a lot for Nanaimo and is a lot for the length of the program,” she said. “The numbers that we will have to eventually recruit are very, very high.” news@nanaimobulletin.com

EDITORIAL

Election starts with goodies It was Christmas in July and Vancouver Island’s only government MP was playing the role of Santa Claus. John Duncan has been busy crisscrossing the Island, doling out federal money for much-needed projects. Victoria in the morning to announce funds for the Island’s biggest traffic bottleneck, Mackenzie Avenue at the Trans-Canada Highway. An afternoon in Parksville or Nanaimo to dole out dough for more projects. It’s easy to be cynical about the timing just before a federal election campaign. But that attitude might not be entirely fair to the chief government whip, whose window for visiting his riding and dealing with local issues is short. Our cynicism, if that’s what it is, steers clear from the timing of this whirlwind cheque-distribution tour. It has more to do with what we perceive to be the paternalistic attitudes of senior governments. Rarely does any MP or MLA mention the fact the money they are handing out belongs to the people. Too many people – especially municipal politicians – fall over themselves thanking Duncan or MLAs when they arrive in town with a cheque and pose for a photo op. We send millions every year to Ottawa through income taxes, the GST and other sources. Do we get that back in the form of services (health transfers, infrastructure projects, etc.)? One thing is certain, we should never stop asking for our fair share. Also, there’s the one-third, one-third, one third formula (federal-provincialmunicipal) that is now being used willynilly by the feds – some projects get that deal, some do not. All that stated, we are pleased to see some overdue infrastructure money coming to our region. Just don’t expect us to to say thanks for giving only a portion of our money back.

Our website features a dedicated election section, which will gather all the federal stories we write into one convenient spot.

There will be issues brought forth by candidates and we certainly have ideas about what’s important to Nanaimo, but we want to make sure those issues that matter to the average citizen are heard. After all, a newspaper serves its readers and its community – not its politicians. Everyone would be better served to remember that.

Transferable vote system isn’t much better To the Editor,

Re: It’s time for us to elect Senate, Letters, July 30. All transferable voting systems are founded on the notion that one’s vote should not, and therefore will not count, until it is cast in conformity with a majority of voters. If the object is a truly ‘representative government,’ shouldn’t the results of an election reflect voters’ first choices -- rather than that of coerced second, third or

fourth choice? Why would we not seek to develop an electoral process which -- unlike single-member plurality and single transferable vote, which merely shuffle the deck amongst the major parties -- strives to be as equally inclusive of ‘fringe’ voices in Parliament and the legislatures? Yes, we need electoral reform. Yes, the Senate needs reform -- the nobrainer (which somehow

seems to have escaped politicians of every stripe) being that of equality of all provinces and territories as a counter to the concentration of representation in the Commons predicated on representation by population which constitutes Canada as an Upper and Lower Canada-centric entity (very much in the way bills of rights exist to protect minorities from abuse at the hands of the majority).

The illusions, the deceits inherent to election campaigns (the governing dynamics) being every bit as harmful, arguably worse, than any drug you’ll find on the street, first things first, we need to find the temerity that will allow us to, just say ‘no’ to any and all of those who would deny us our rightful voice in our own government.

Bike lanes unsafe, confusing Good work by mayor To the Editor,

What a design fiasco the new parking/bike lane along Boundary Avenue is. This illconceived design is a safety hazard to both cyclists and vehicle operators. Vehicles parked a lane width from the curb place cyclists at risk from passenger doors opening, and drivers at risk having to cross the bike lane to get to the sidewalk. If this is the best the city engineering department can produce, a review is necessary. The unnecessary expenditure on this project has created a safety hazard, and it will only be a matter of time before someone is

To the Editor,

John Pike Nanaimo

Could someone please explain to me the meaning and/or proper usage of the new white road markings along Boundary Avenue? There seems to be abrupt changes and crossovers. Also there are new small cement islands to watch out for. I wonder how they will be welcomed when we have snow removal to contend with.

seriously injured. These funds could have been utilized to provide sidewalks in the many areas of the city lacking same.

The News BulleTiN

The new bike lanes along Boundary Avenue are problematic, say letter writers.

Re: Auxiliary spillway option chosen for Colliery dam, July 23. The vocal mob on the dams issue is spewing sour grapes all over the place. Our Mayor Bill McKay showed real courage facing down the mob at council and also the councillors prepared to defy the provincial authority to get their way. A miracle happened – in the 11th hour, councillors finally saw the light and the real possibility of severe remedies for defying the higher authority. That is what McKay had been saying all along. He was right. He was also right about extending SSS Manhao an extension for 12 months because Nanaimo ended up with nothing after people publicly insulting and embarrassing a very successful company. We have the makings of a great mayor as he is on the right side of the issues and he has the courage to stand his ground. Real leaders don’t follow the mob, they lead. The mob wants the leader to follow them and therein lies their silliness.

Conservatives kick off campaign with handouts for the rich To the Editor,

Sadly, the federal government refuses to spend funds to help house the homeless, but it has no trouble giving tax money to millionaires to spruce up their homes, condos and cottages. While these grants may create some jobs, much of this work would get done without government handouts. Building accommodations for the homeless, on the other hand, is a guaranteed job creator. Plus it would

probably pay for itself in reduced social, medical and policing costs. First the Conservative government makes it difficult for the homeless to vote and now it ignores the homeless when giving away housing related funds. Does Prime Minister Harper really believe Canadians are so selfish and mean spirited that giving to the rich, and stiffing the poor, will get him re-elected? S.I. Petersen Nanaimo

To the Editor,

Stephen Harper has made and broken a lot of promises during the past 11 years, but one that he kept was: “You won’t recognize Canada when I’m through with it.” He’s proven that non-stop negative advertising works for his party, but it is debatable if Canada has really benefited from his malevolent tactics. However, some things never change, and that has been very evident in the past few weeks leading up

to the election campaign being officially declared. It’s that familiar and ominous “swooosh-ka-ching” sound of funds being shovelled off the back of Tory trucks right across the country. All parties in power and with their hands on the purse-strings use this method to bribe gullible voters with their own money; Oct. 19 would be a good time for the electorate to wake up to reality.

Nanaimo News Bulletin 17

and entertainment

BY NICHOLAS PESCOD THE NEWS BULLETIN

he year was 2012 and Lia Grainger had established herself as a respected and award-winning freelance journalist in Toronto. A graduate of Capilano University in North Vancouver, Grainger had worked her way up from interning at The Walrus and Chatelaine to becoming an arts reporter for the National Post in 2009. Three years later, Grainger had become a regular contributor to publications such as the Toronto Star, Toronto Life and Vancouver Magazine. But despite all the success, Grainger’s mind was focused on her other passion: flamenco dancing. “I felt like it was the thing I had always wanted to be doing,” Grainger said. So in the fall of 2012, Grainger put her journalism career on hold and moved to Seville, Spain to pursue flamenco dancing. “I just felt time is a wasting and [I had] to get over to Spain where flamenco is a way of life,” Grainger said. Shortly after moving to Spain and with weeks and weeks of practice under her belt, Grainger formed the flamenco dance group Fin de Fiesta. On Aug. 18 Fin de Fiesta will hold a show at the Gabriola Island Community Hall.

“It is a very powerful art form,” Grainger said. “The music is very interesting and emotionally intense and so is the dancing.” Fin de Fiesta’s members include guitarist Dennis Duffin, Los Angeles singer Daniel Azcarate, dancer Michelle Harding, flautist Lara Wong and Italian percussionist Davide Sampaolo, who has previously worked with Jesse Cook.

“

I felt like it was the thing I had always wanted to be doing.

“Many of us met in Seville, Spain where some of us lived there about half of the time,” Grainger said. “We go there to study and perform.” Grainger’s pathway to flamenco began in 2003 when she started studying the dance form while living in Vancouver. She says that at first, flamenco dancing was nothing more than a hobby. “I did it take seriously but I always had another career,” Grainger said. After moving to Spain in 2012, she met a number of like-minded flamenco performers, including Duffin,

who would help her form Fin de Fiesta. “Being over there [Spain] was a challenge because it is a very different culture,” Grainger said. “Europe is not so different from North American culture, but in Spain I was living in Seville in the south …. and it is just a very different lifestyle.” Grainger, a former college basketball player, says flamenco is one of the more open forms of dance. “One of the things that is nice about flamenco is that is open to everybody,” Grainger said. “Everybody can do it.” Grainger, who has previously performed at the Montreal Flamenco Festival and Vancouver’s Jondo Flamenco Festival, says she considers herself more of an “intense” dancer. “I definitely have my own style but I believe in the roots and traditional flamenco,” she said. “I think I am a really intense dancer. One of my favourite parts of the dance is the footwork.” Fin de Fiesta perform on Aug. 18 on Gabriola Island at 8 p.m. Tickets are $17 in advance or $20 at the door. For more information on Fin de Fiesta, including ticket purchases, please visit www. findefiestaflamenco.com.

Senior B squad wins B.C. championship I

T-MEN DEFEAT ladner Pioneers 7-4 in Game 3. BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN

This year, when the senior B Nanaimo Timbermen go to nationals, they’ll go as champions. The squad won the West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association championship on Saturday afternoon, defeating the Ladner Pioneers 7-4 at Frank Crane Arena to sweep the best-of-five final three games to none. “Fantastic. It’s the best feeling ever,” said Jon Diplock, team captain. “We worked all year for this and we finally did it.” The game was a lowscoring affair, with both goaltenders putting forth player-of-the-game performances. The Pioneers led 2-1 after one period, but the T-men went up 5-3 after two and protected the lead. “We knew we had it all along. It [didn’t] matter what happened in the game, in the back of our heads it was just, ‘It’s ours. It’s ours for the taking,’” Diplock said. A turning point came partway through the third period when the

T-men, up by two goals, were assessed a fiveminute slashing major. The penalty killing unit, led by Cody Boon and Steve Higgs, created momentum culminating in Diplock’s fourth goal of the game. The captain was in on six of his team’s seven scoring plays on the day. Higgs had a goal and two helpers and Ryan Forslund

and Jonny Gill were the other Nanaimo scorers. Nick Patterson made 35 saves as shots were 47-39 in favour of Nanaimo. “[The Pioneers] are a really strong team, but I think that kind of speaks to how good of a team we are,” said Mike Maughan, T-men coach. “We know we’re a good team, but we kind of showed it in

every facet. Our offence scores when we need to, our defence has been strong all year long and all playoffs long and of course, the cornerstone, Nick, is unbelievable. He gives you the ability to stem the tide when maybe the play’s going against you.” The championship – the first for the senior B Timbermen since 2003 – means the team will

Two years ago the T-men were B.C. representatives by default and last year they qualified as B.C.’s runners-up. “The two years before we didn’t do it this way,

V.I. Raiders get stopped by Sun BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN

The V.I Raiders were stopped in their tracks by the Okanagan Sun. The Sun defeated the Raiders 27-3 in a first-place matchup in B.C. Football Conference action Saturday at Caledonia Park. The Raiders’ defence was able to slow up the Sun, but the V.I. offence couldn’t muster much against Okie’s D. “We played a very, very good football team. I thought our guys battled,” said Jerome Erdman, Raiders coach. “We’ve got a long way to go. The thing I take from this is we were competitive.” The home team kept the contest close most of the

way, as the score was 12-3 at halftime. Okie only scored one touchdown on the day, but kicked five field goals. “Going in, if you guys said that we would hold them to one touchdown, we might have been happy,” Erdman said. V.I. was held to just 35 rushing yards and 110 passing yards and quarterback Liam O’Brien, back from injury, was sacked nine times. “Offensively we didn’t do a good enough job of picking up their stunts and blitzes and stuff like that,” the coach said. But Nanaimo’s D stuck to the game plan and was disciplined, he said. Dexter Shea, V.I. linebacker, said the defence swarmed, made some big hits and didn’t tire out.

“I think we kept fighting through the whole game, which was, in a loss, the most important thing we could do,” he said. V.I.’s only points came on a first-quarter field goal from Matias Bueno. O’Brien finished 14-for-23 for 93 yards with one interception. Defensively, newcomer Isaiah Stevens had a team-high nine tackles, Josh Paisley had seven and Cole Virtanen had five. Shea, Adam McDonald. Kaelan Botel and Cashton Wilson had sacks and Nigel Henry had an interception. GAME ON … The V.I. Raiders play the Kamloops Broncos this Saturday (Aug. 15) at 4 p.m. at Caledonia Park. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Beban Pool getting a fresh look for fall What an amazing summer it has been so far. We’ve experienced record days of sunshine and many recreation options that have encouraged us all to stay active. It’s hard to imagine that in a short amount of time kids will be going back to school while the rest of us return to our regular routines and schedules. There is a lot of behindthe-scenes work taking place at Parks, Recreation and Environment as we get ready for the return of the fall and winter season. In case you haven’t heard, Beban Pool is undergoing some changes during its annual maintenance shutdown. When the pool re-opens on Sept. 8, swimmers will find five

Lake offers serene spot for paddleboard lessons

Jennifer vroom gives instruction through parks and rec department. By Karl yu The News BulleTiN

he City of Nanaimo Parks, Recreation and Environment department has enlisted the services of Jennifer Vroom to preach the virtues of paddleboarding. Vroom, who also owns and operates Van Isle Paddleboard Co., says the health benefits of paddleboarding are numerous and it’s not just for the athletically inclined. “It’s a very, very accommodating sport, so anyone can do it because it’s zero impact, from kids to seniors,” said Vroom. “Sometimes I’ll have groups of families: there’s a seven-year-old and a 75-year-old, so anyone can do it. It’s easy on the joints, it’s really a leisurely sport.” One of the most popular courses, according to Vroom, is Paddleboard Core and Stretch, which melds exercising and the paddleboard. “We start with a warm-up paddle across [Westwood Lake] and we all tie up and, all just yell out what we’re doing,” said Vroom. “We normally do a bunch of core exercises, from pushups, planks, lots of variations on sit-ups, we do squats, we just have a lot of fun on the board.” The boards are stable and can take the weight – Vroom likens them to big barges. As many families take lessons, they are afforded the opportunity to bond with one another, which is one of Vroom’s favourite things

about the lessons she teaches. “You’re working together and there’s definitely that connection between the adult and the child that they’re balancing together, and they’re just having fun and just being out on the warm water and connecting with other families or friends, whoever is out there at the same time,” Vroom said. While Vroom teaches a Sunset Paddleboarding class, where participants go along Newcastle Island in the evening, a majority of lessons through the city are at Westwood Lake. People taking classes at Westwood will be able to paddleboard with a picturesque, canvas-like backdrop. “The nicest thing here is that it’s calm, it’s warm, it’s protected at Westwood Lake. There’s no boat traffic, you can’t hear the highway noises, you’re just out here in this little peaceful pocket,” Vroom said.
