Back-to-school under protest Rutherford and Departure Bay families rally to save their schools from possible closure ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS
Tina Bray said it wouldn’t make sense if the Nanaimo-Ladysmith school district decides to close her children’s school. Bray, a parent from Rutherford Elementary School, was among approximately 70 parents and students from Rutherford and Departure Bay elementary schools who staged a protest in front of the district’s administrative office Monday morning. The protest was held ahead of
a meeting of the school board, scheduled for Sept. 2, in which trustees will discuss the possibility of closing both schools at the end of the upcoming school year. “We’ve been sending letters to the board and staff during the summer expressing our concerns,” said Bray. “Enrolment is already above 90 per cent in schools in the north end and we’ll need more capacity in those schools in the coming years as development continues.” The closure of both schools
had been scheduled as part of a recently rejected facilities plan for the Nanaimo-Ladysmith school district. A new facilities plan is expected to be tabled this fall and the board has scheduled a meeting at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre on Sept. 2 to allow staff the opportunity to answer questions about the process. Chelsea Slobodan, a member of the SAVE Departure Bay Eco School organization, said enrolment at her school is “thriving”
as well, particularly since the school recently received approval from the board for charter school status to become an Eco Academy. “We don’t want to be part of any public consultation process that could lead to the closure of our school,” she said. “If our school is still scheduled to be closed in the new facilities plan, we’ll hold more protest rallies and use every means we can to prevent it.” District spokesman Dale Burgos
said while the district understands the reason for the rally, he emphasized that Nanaimo-Ladysmith is in the “very early stages” of updating its facilities plan. He said a decision is expected to be made at the meeting on Sept. 2 on whether to move ahead with a public consultation process with the community on the school closures.

Nanaimo ‘vapers’ delighted by British health ďŹ ndings
Fine fair blows off windy start
Study: ‘e-cigarettes’ found to be 95 per cent less harmful than regular cigarettes
product as a cessation aide. “At this time there is a lack of clarity as to what we should be providing to the physician community as to what the role is of e-cigarettes in supporting cessation.�
Weather conditions in the hours leading up to this year’s Vancouver Island Exhibition at Beban Park were more than organizers were bargaining for. Stephen Kass, manager of fair operations, said he was on site at approximately 2 a.m. Friday, just seven hours before the 121st-annual VIEX was set to begin, and a windstorm arose that began picking up tents and other materials and blowing them in every direction. Kass said the scaffolding around the main stage also blew over, bending fences and other equipment, that led to the cancellation of a number of the early venues on the stage Friday morning before the damage was repaired. “But the weather conditions became just perfect after that and, based on the receipts at the gates, we had pretty close to the 20,000 people we were counting on to come through the VIEX over the three days it was held,� Kass said. “We’re extremely happy with this year’s fair and we’re already planning meetings to begin preparations for next year.� Kass said there were no issues or problems Saturday night when the exhibition’s headline acts, including the rock band Headpins, took to the main stage. “It was great entertainment and it was a great crowd who came to enjoy it,� he said. “It certainly made my job as manager of operations much easier.� Kass said the VIEX had its best turnout in 10 years on Sunday for its events and entertainment on the fair’s final day. He said that’s likely the result of the decision to move the exhibition’s popular Country Day theme — usually held in recent years on Friday — to Sunday.

Local retailers of personal vapourizers welcome news from a U.K. health regulator that the devices are considerably safer than cigarettes. Public Health England released results of a study that found the use of personal vapourizers, or vaping, to be 95 per cent safer than smoking tobacco. The devices are often called e-cigarettes, but retailers prefer the term personal vapourizers to avoid the negative connotation of tobacco. “I think it’s great for the industry,� said Gino Capone, of Nanaimo’s Simatech Vapour Shop. Skyleen Blacklaw, 26, smoked up to two packs a day, when less than two years ago she noticed many of her friends vaping. She decided to give it a try and now she sells vaping devices at Simatech. “It wasn’t really a hard transition at all,� Blacklaw said. When customers ask her the pros and cons of vaping, she tells them since switching, “I feel a lot healthier.� The PHE review concludes vapourizers are “significantly less harmful to health than tobacco and have the potential to help smokers quit smoking.� Key findings: Best estimates are vapourizers are around 95 per cent less harmful than smoking; roughly half of Britons don’t know vaping is much less harmful than smoking and there is “no evidence� vaping encourages smoking in children or non-smokers. Vaping may contribute to falling smoking rates among adults and young people, PHE said. Almost all of the 2.6 million Great Britain adults who vape

are current or ex-smokers. Most use the devices to help quit or to prevent returning to cigarettes. Fewer than one per cent of adults and young people who have never smoked are becoming regular e-cigarette users. However, the evidence “raises concerns that increasing numbers of people think e-cigarettes are equally or more harmful
than smoking,� the report said. Island Health isn’t ready to recommend vaping to smokers having trouble quitting. “Don’t forget, it’s safer than tobacco doesn’t mean it’s safe,� said Dr. Paul Hasselback, Island Health medical health officer for the Central Island, adding debate about vaping’s role continues. “There may be a role for the

Participation trophies shouldn’t be shunned
I
n many ways, it would seem we are softer on our children than in previous generations. Some of that, obviously, is a good thing. There’s no strap on the wall in the principal’s office, for one. Water breaks are no longer seen as a weakness on the football field. The list goes on. But there will always be the flip side, the notion that we’re too easy on them these days. You don’t really “fail” grades anymore. Some youth sports leagues refuse to keep score so as not to upset little Johnny or Jenny. Learn at home PE is a thing. There has to be a happy balance in there somewhere. A
place where children learn life lessons (such as failing a test or losing a ballgame) but aren’t beaten with a strap. The issue made headlines recently, thanks to fearsome NFL linebacker James Harrison. Harrison’s two sons came home with participation trophies, which he called “nothing.” “While I am very proud of my boys for everything they do and will encourage them till the day I die, these trophies will be given back until they EARN a real trophy,” he said on social media. “. . . I’m not about to raise two boys to be men by making them believe that they are entitled to something just because they tried their best.” Is Harrison wrong? There’s nothing unmanly with
trying your best — or being rewarded for it. Most kids who play sports are in it for one thing — fun. The lessons learned (teamwork, competitiveness, ability to deal with adversity) are inherent. Sometimes, you’re going to lose. We can’t shield our kids from that. But with the youngest children, they are certainly “earning” their trophies. Showing up to every practice and game, working hard and being a good teammate, even if you lose every game, is worthy of acknowledgement. A small little trophy they can be proud of might just spur them on to become even better athletes, and people. It’s highly
unlikely that such a small trinket will turn them into entitled brats. It might also be the impetus to keep them participating. Do we only celebrate winning? Or can we celebrate fun as well? It’s certainly unacceptable to attend a minor hockey game where parents are shrieking at teenage referees who have the temerity to call a penalty on their future NHLers. Or read stories of Little League teams stacking their squad with out-of-town players. Do we have to treat them as little all-pros, or should be let them be kids? Again, there is probably an area somewhere in the middle that represents the sweet spot. At higher levels, winning is a
primary focus. For someone like James Harrison, that win-at-allcosts mentality has probably allowed him to achieve the level of success he has reached. But so few people who play sports achieve that success. Most play for friendship and fun. It’s certainly a polarizing topic, one bound to start “well, I was taught that way and I turned out OK” debates. Do we coddle our children too much these days? Maybe. Is a participation trophy at the end of a season something to be shunned? Certainly not. » We want to hear from you. Send comments on this editorial to letters@nanaimodailynews.com.

» Your Letters // e-mail: letters@nanaimodailynews.com There is really nothing wrong with Colliery Dam Adding to the dam confusion is Don Bonner, with all his dates and apparent details. But he left out the single most important chunk of information: there is really nothing wrong with the Colliery dams. Some city of Nanaimo councillors followed the pied piper into the calm lake water and bought into a fib that 150 souls could be killed downstream, when it was alleged the dams would break. That popycock was proven false. Further evidence now cements the facts that the dams are pretty strong. Proving to me that this $8 million exercise, the cost of all the research and repairs at this point, should never have begun. If Mr. Bonner is going to point fingers at anyone he needs to give bad credit where it is due. And that is not singling out five councillors this term who have been trying to keep prying fingers out of a great park, with a couple of pretty stable and
secure structures. C.L. Cavanagh Nanaimo
Gas taxes would bring down costs in Nanaimo Travelling the Island, I see the cheap gas everywhere but Nanaimo. A few kilometres south of the Duke Point interchange gas is three cents per litre cheaper. Another few kilometres and you save another three cents. To the best of my knowledge there are four terminals on the Island, fuel barges deliver to two in Nanaimo, Bare Point and Hatch Point. Duncan is always cheaper than Nanaimo. I’d bet the farm all their fuel doesn’t come from close by Bare Point. Prices in Port Alberni, Tofino and Ucluelet are often the same as Nanaimo and because of Costco prices in Courtenay are eight cents per litre cheaper.
Here is a novel idea, let’s charge an export tax for fuel leaving the city limits, military and Gabriola excepted. Should Nanaimo stations decide to buy out of town and charge more, well that will be an import fee. There is no logical reason why port of entry prices can’t be amongst the cheapest. Of course logic has never been part of any energy price explanation. Grant Maxwell Nanaimo
New trade deal will only bring more restrictions The TransPacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal the Harper government seems so intent on signing will subject us to even more restrictions than the North American (NAFTA) deal the Mulroney conservatives foisted on us. The Nestle water deal is only one of many disadvantages of that one. We may lose our dairy protec-
tions with the TPP. Americans have allowed their dairy industry to use Bovine Growth Hormones which contribute to the obesity plague stalking the U.S. Their larger diabetes, heart disease and other health and economic problems are evident in the statistics. The Canadian dairy industry produces healthy products. If they have to compete with the U.S. industry, BGHs will be imported to Canada. The TPP trade pact will allow the US industry to sue for compensation if we act to protect the health of our industry and our people. Ask our candidates where they stand on the TPP.

NORTHFIELD INTERSECTION
MAAX Spas...
Neighbours collide with crash solution DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS
A fix is coming for the crash-prone Northfield-Boundary road intersection, but some neighbours don’t like the proposed solution. The City of Nanaimo and the province are sharing costs on a $3-million upgrade to reduce crashes on the road — an important artery for northbound ferry traffic access to the Nanaimo Parkway, and a crucial access route to Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. ICBC statistics identify the Highway19A-Northfield intersection as a top Island crash site, with 279 collisions and 154 injuries in a five-year period ending 2013. With a level train crossing, the intersection is prone to rear-end crashes, often involving vehicles wanting to access Highway 19A from Northfield. Vehicles turning left onto Boundary, toward NRGH often cause traffic to back up onto the highway. The city’s $3-million solution is to widen Northfield onto the National Car Rentals property, and make a left-turn lane that loops back to Boundary across a city-owned corner lot.
CANTELON
Ron Cantelon, whose property abuts the reconfigured intersection, says it’s unsafe. “I think it’s bizarre,” said the former city councillor and retired MLA. “When I went up to talk to them, they said it’s a temporary solution. Three million for a temporary solution?” The five metres of rightof-way shaved from National Car Rentals will be dangerous, Cantelon said. Hon Wong, owner of National, is resigned to the fact his business will be affected. “This is our headquarters. Here we do about five per cent of our business all over the Island, and if it’s really bad, we just move,”
Wong said. “I think the $3 million is probably better spent.” He said ultimately, the city plans to make Northfield a four-lane road, so the city’s three-lane solution is “stupid.” Neighbour Angela McKean welcomes safety changes for her two school-age sons, but doesn’t look forward to construction. Tawnya Holland, whose boyfriend’s home is beside the new interchange, said “he’s already started renovating to get ready to sell.” The city does plan to four-lane Northfield, but “that would be long-term,” said Poul Rosen, City of Nanaimo senior engineering manager. Cantelon said a better solution is to move the intersection north, onto the National property, or better, re-route Northfield onto Dorman Road. “Those are options we would consider long term,” Rosen said. “This is really aimed at safety improvement.” Project design work is now underway, with work to start this fall and completing in early 2016.

FIRE
Bush blaze stopped short of homes DAILY NEWS
Nanaimo Fire Rescue responded to a large bush fire near Fourth Street and Watfield Avenue Friday afternoon. Upon arrival, crews saw smoke and flames which
were spreading rapidly and being pushed by high winds toward nearby homes. Three homes on Wheatley Place were evacuated as a precaution. Crews were able to stop the fire at the property lines of homes on Wheatley Place
and Hillcrest Avenue. No homes were damaged and there were no injuries. Crews worked late into the evening cooling hot spots and returned Saturday to monitor the site. The cause is suspected to be a cooking fire.

Train quartet receives France’s highest honour The president of France pinned his country’s highest award, the Legion d’Honneur, on three Americans and a Briton Monday, saying they “gave a lesson in courage” by subduing a heavily armed attacker on a high-speed train carrying 500 passengers to Paris. President Francois Hollande pinned the medals on U.S. Airman Spencer Stone, National Guardsman Alek Skarlatos, and their longtime friend Anthony Sadler. All took part in subduing the gunman as he moved through the Amsterdam-to-Paris train with an assault rifle strapped to his bare chest. British businessman Chris Norman, who jumped into the fray, also received the medal.

Japan delivers booze to the space station Spirits arrived at the International Space Station on Monday. Not the ghostly ones, but the kind you drink — distilled spirits. A Japanese company known for its whiskey and other alcoholic beverages included five types of distilled spirits in a space station cargo ship. Suntory Global Innovation Center in Tokyo wants to see if alcoholic beverages mellow the same in space as they do on Earth.

Plunging Chinese stocks dragging world markets
Madison leak wreaks havoc on marriages
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
World stock markets plunged on Monday after China’s main index sank 8.5 per cent — its biggest drop since the early days of the 2008 global financial crisis — amid deepening fears about the health of the world’s second-largest economy. Oil prices, commodities and the currencies of many countries including Canada also tumbled on concerns that a sharp slowdown in China might hurt economic growth around the globe. The Canadian dollar was down nearly half a U.S. cent at about 75.5 cents US early Monday and the price of oil was below US$39 a barrel, continuing a sharp decline that began two months ago. Since closing at $61.01 on June 23, contracts for a North American benchmark crude have been losing ground due to an oversupply and concerns about economic demand. Crude closed Friday at US$40.45.

LONDON — Husbands and wives across the world are being confronted with extramarital affairs after a catastrophic leak at adultery website Ashley Madison spewed electronic evidence of infidelity across the Internet. Online forums were buzzing Thursday with users claiming to have found evidence their significant others were on the dating site. In Britain and Israel, parliamentarians have been put on the defensive after their emails were identified in the trove. Family law experts are divided on the likely offline impact of the leak, but Los Angeles-based divorce lawyer Steve Mindel predicted an uptick in business for him and his colleagues. “We’re all saying: ’It’s going to be Christmas in September,”’ Mindel said. “Pretty soon all of this stuff is going to surface and there’s going to be a lot of filings for divorce directly as a result.” Ashley Madison marketed itself as a venue for cheating spouses before data stolen by hackers started spreading across the Internet earlier this week.
at 5,936.09, German’s DAX index was down 443.51 points at 9,681.01 and the Paris CAC 40 was down 214 at 4,416.99. Earlier, China’s Shanghai index suffered its biggest percentage decline since February 2007, with many China-listed companies hitting their 10 per cent downside limits. The benchmark closed at 3,209.91 points, meaning it has lost all of its gains for 2015, though it is still more than 40 per cent above its level a year ago. Japan’s Nikkei fell 4.6 per cent to 18,540.68, its worst one-day drop since in over two and a half years. China’s dimming outlook is drawing calls for more economic stimulus from Beijing, though earlier government efforts to staunch the hemorrhage appear to have done little to stabilize markets. Some analysts say they see opportunities for bargains in the latest plunge in prices. But underlying the gloom is the growing conviction that policymakers and regulators may lack the means to staunch the losses.

DIVERSIONS HOROSCOPE by Jacqueline Bigar ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might experience a certain amount of discomfort when dealing with today’s events. You could be holding back on pursuing a long-term desire involving a loved one. You’ll need to get past what a certain situation is demanding. Tonight: Spice up the night. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your vision of what you want on the homefront will allow greater give-and-take with a roommate. At first, your desires could be different. Once you start discussing each of your perspectives, you eventually will find some common ground. Tonight: Happy at home.

Nanaimo Minor Hockey Association graduate Patrick Bajkov is entering his third year of junior hockey and is projected to be a third-round NHL draft choice

Third-year vet looks to be a top-line player with Everett SCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS
A
s training camps open across the Western Hockey League this week, Nanaimo’s Patrick Bajkov is preparing for the most important season of his career so far. After the season is done, Bajkov will likely hear his name called at the National Hockey League draft. If and when, however, will all be decided by what he does between now and then. “Getting drafted is one of the goals,” Bajkov said. “Getting drafted anywhere would be something that I’ve always dreamed of.” As the Internet hockey community begins mapping out its mock drafts, Bajkov, a fivefoot-11, 175-pound 17-year-old winger with the Everett Silvertips, is projected as a consensus high third-round pick by many who study hockey prospects. For any young hockey player
“. . . until it’s all said and done, I try not to think about it.“ Patrick Bajkov, Everett Silvertips
with the potential to be drafted, it’s difficult not to look at the mock-ups of where he might be taken, if at all. “Obviously, it’s nice to see that,” said Bajkov, who DraftSite.com has projected to be picked by the Arizona Coyotes 61st overall in the June draft. WHL website Dub From Above also lists Bajkov as one of its 40 names to watch for the draft. “It’s another confidence booster of course, but until it’s all said and done, I try not to think about it. I want to focus on our team game and get comfortable, but it’s exciting to think about and I’m definitely excited for this year. Hopefully I can just stay focused, that’s the main goal.” As a rookie in the WHL two seasons ago, Bajkov posted
nine goals and 10 assists before breaking out in 2014-15 when he more than doubled his offensive production with 23 goals and 22 assists playing in all 72 regular season games along with 11 in the post-season. It was a progression, he said, that came with the comfort of playing in the league for a full season before really stepping into an offensive role on a top team loaded with talent. “Definitely the confidence and being more comfortable, knowing my teammates and knowing what it’s like playing in the league,” Bajkov said of the difference between his rookie year and his second one, “coming into the game knowing that I have a chance to do something out there instead of being a little bit shy and backing off like in my first year.” Bajkov, who began his hockey career in Nanaimo first with the local minor hockey association before playing a season with the major midget North Island Silvertips, is entering his third
season in the WHL with an opportunity to turn heads when plenty will be looking to do so. Under the eyes of professional scouts all season long, Bajkov has a chance to boost his draft stock with a team that is on the rise — the Silvertips finished first in the WHL’s U.S. Division with 95 points and got to the second round of the playoffs for the first time 2007. But as junior hockey goes, players graduate and leave early, and younger replacements need to step in a fill that void. Bajkov is the Silvertips’ fourth-leading scorer coming back for the 2015-16 season. On paper, he should slot in beside centre Carson Stadnyk and possibly right winger Nikita Scherbak, who may return as Everett’s top scorer. But Bajkov knows he will need to earn every bit of ice time he gets both at full-strength and on special teams. “Hopefully I’ll be one of the go-to guys, in the top six,” Bajkov said. “It all comes down to how
I’m playing, how training camp goes. We do have some good players on our team this year so hopefully it can blend nicely.” Going into the season as a third-year player despite only being 17, Bajkov also wants to step into a leadership role to help the younger players adapt to the league and start making an impact as soon as possible, just as he did in his sophomore season. “I hope to lead by example this year and be one of the guys that the younger guys, the first and second-year guys, can look at as a leader and hopefully show them what it’s all about,” he said. “Hopefully we can make a push to get deeper into the playoffs and see how far we can go.” Bajkov, too, will have a lot of people thinking how far he can go as he attempts to become the next Nanaimo-born player to play in the NHL.

Raiders sent home with a loss
Clippers roster squeeze takes camp spotlight
Kamloops Broncos earn the season split but V.I. still owns the tie-breaker SCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS
T
he Vancouver Island Raiders didn’t come back to Nanaimo without something important. While they suffered a 39-32 road loss against the Kamloops Broncos Saturday, a last-minute punt block from Eric Wood and a last-second field goal from Mattias Bueno gave the Raiders the tie-breaker between themselves and their opponents as the season hits its halfway point and teams begin jockeying for playoff position. “That is the positive,” said Raiders head coach Jerome Erdman. “I thought special teams played really well with a kick-off return for a touchdown, a recovered on-side kick and blocked a punt, and our offence moved the ball in the fourth quarter, but that’s about all the positives I can come up with.” Down 31-7 in the fourth quarter Saturday night in Kamloops, the Broncos were well on their

ter kick-off return for a touchdown by Tristan Muir. Raiders quarterback Liam O’Brien rushed for two majors himself, while going 15 of 24 through the air for 246 yards and a touchdown pass to Taylor Flavel, who led all Raiders receivers with three catches for 70 yards. Raiders defensive end Quinton Bowles, the only starter available to the V.I. defensive line due to some nagging injuries, had a game-high nine tackles while safeties Cole Virtanen and Adam MacDonald had five each. The Raiders, at 3-2 on the season and in a second-place tie with Kamloops and the Langley Rams, now prepare to host the winless Valley Huskers, a team that lost 66-3 to the unbeaten Okanagan Sun on Saturday. The Raiders and Huskers meet Saturday at Caledonia Park at 4 p.m. “We’re OK,” Erdman said of his team’s progression this season. “Not where we want to be, but we’re certainly not at panic stations.”

It’s not often returning veterans have their roster spots in doubt in junior hockey. But for eight Nanaimo Clippers veterans, that will be the case this week as training camp begins and through five exhibition games as two 20-year-olds will need to be sent away before the 2015-16 B.C. Hockey League season begins on Sept. 12. “It’s not really a try-out,” said Clippers head coach and general manager Mike Vandekamp. “We know the players well enough. It just comes down to evaluating what else we have here in camp and where we need to fit the 20-year-olds in.” Originally committed to play college hockey this year, high-end Clippers wingers Sheldon Rempal, Devin Brosseau and all-star defenceman Yanni Kaldis instead elected to return to Nanaimo for one more year of junior hockey. While Vandekamp is happy to have them back, their decisions make his general manager duties more difficult as it puts the Clippers two players above the roster limit of six 20-year-olds. Three-year veterans Corey renwick, from Nanoose Bay, and Ryan Forbes are the other 20-year-old forwards now having to earn a spot with the club while Ed Hookenson, Kale Bennett and Nanaimo’s Ryan Coghlan are looking to return to the Clippers. “They chose to play for our team and became good team members, aprticularly last season with the success the team had,” said Vandekamp, who has already traded away 20-year-olds Nic Carrier, Anthony Rinaldi and Jacob Hanlon. “It’s just part of the business, but I would admit that it’s not easy just because of the loyalty and the connection that you have to the kids. ” The Clippers opened training camp Monday with fitness testing and get on the ice today for the first time.

SOLUTION: A GOOD PASTIME
CRYPTOQUOTE CRANKSHAFT
East won the king but switched to a trump. Declarer was able to record an overtrick with the minor suits breaking normally by playing a heart to dummy’s jack after drawing trump, N-S +150. Do you agree with South’s decision to bid three diamonds? He should show values and a spade stopper by advancing to 2NT. North will swiftly raise to the nine-trick game where ten tricks will be available when West begins with a spade. East will win the opening lead and may fire back a fourth best spade but South has no option but to play the queen. South did not own sufficient strength to respond 1NT over the spade overcall but he should have been more optimistic when partner re- opened with a double. Partner was certain to hold a strong hand with support for all unbid suits. West’s silence confirmed that North held a good hand. North’s decision to invite rather than bid the minor suit game also appears mistaken. Game would be a viable contract when partner held as little as acefifth of diamonds. This result undoubtedly did not furnish N-S with an equitable matchpoint award.
