Council calls for review of liquor control policy

PROVINCIAL RULES allow alcohol sales in select grocery stores. BY TAMARA CUNNINGHAM THE NEWS BULLETIN
KARL YU/THE NEWS BULLETIN
Sheila Malcolmson, NDP Nanaimo-Ladysmith candidate, and Peter Julian, NDP House Leader, were at Harmac Pacific mill Wednesday for an election announcement. A tax credit of $40 million annually to encourage companies to invest in equipment is one of the promises from the NDP should it win this October’s election.
NDP promises tax breaks for forestry sector BY KARL YU THE NEWS BULLETIN
The federal NDP says it will take measures to boost B.C.’s forestry sector should it win the upcoming Canadian federal election. At a campaign stop at Harmac Pacific mill in Cedar Wednesday, Peter Julian, NDP House Leader, and Sheila Malcolmson, NDP Nanaimo-Ladysmith candidate, said the NDP will work to lessen the amount of raw log exports. Julian said the NDP would work with provincial governments to reduce raw log exports and protect export restrictions in proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership
For more election coverage, visit www.nanaimobulletin.com negotiations with Pacific Rim countries. “We create many more jobs with the same level of harvesting if we’re ensuring that rather than exporting raw logs ... they’re manufactured and the value-added production ... happens here in communities like Nanaimo,” Julian said. The NDP promised to institute an innovation tax credit
of $40 million annually to aid forest product manufacturers and sawmills in the purchasing of new equipment to maintain a competitive edge. Gerald de Jong, Pulp and Paper Woodworkers union local president, said the announcement would help an ailing industry. Levi Sampson, president of Harmac Pacific, echoed de Jong’s sentiments and is happy that it is an election issue. “That someone’s willing to look at that issue and to change the percentages of raw logs that are going offshore, that’s a good thing,” said Sampson. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com
Nanaimo city council isn’t ready to pop the cork on the idea of wine in grocery stores. While new provincial rules mean grocery stores have the potential to stock B.C. wine, cider and sake on shelves, city councillors haven’t decided if zoning laws will allow the alcohol sales. The issue prompted a call to review Nanaimo’s 12-year-old Liquor Control Strategy. Grocery stores can now stock beer, wine or sake on its shelves, or create a store within a store. Both models require stores to have licences and meet certain criteria, including being no smaller than 10,000 square feet. There are 33 existing licences in the province and more are planned to be auctioned off. Some grocery stores in the Harbour City could already be zoned for liquor stores, but for those that are not, it’s up to politicians to decide if zoning bylaws will be tweaked to allow for the new use, or if stores will have to go through a rezoning process. Coun. Jerry Hong told the News Bulletin he wanted to see councillors take a position at Monday’s council meeting that no liquor or wine is allowed in grocery stores until a new Liquor Control Strategy is developed. It’s a move that would give security to small businesses and allow the city to
strike a committee to discuss terms of reference for a review, he said, adding the work can be in two parts, allowing for both immediate and later reviews, and different targets. Coun. Ian Thorpe said he recognizes the convenience of alcohol in grocery stores, but says there’s enough liquor outlets in Nanaimo. He would lean toward having one-kilometer apart rules similar to what already exists. He also supports a review of the liquor strategy. “Right now, we, as a city, require specific zoning for liquor sales, for any liquor retail outlets, so we would need to examine do we still want to do that ... how do we feel about the one-kilometre distance between liquor outlets? Do we want any grocery stores to be able to sell wine or spirits or alcohol?” Thorpe said. “The more we looked at it and thought about it last night (Monday), the more we thought before we make a decision on any one specific instance we need to look at the city’s LCS which hasn’t been examined for several years.” Councillors Gord Fuller and Diane Brennan also say it’s time to look at the strategy. City staff will report to council with details on the number of grocery stores that would meet provincial rules, those with liquor zoning in place, and information on a Liquor Control Strategy Review. It’s not known when the issue will land on council’s table again, however, and any applications by grocery stores in the meantime would need council direction.

Donations to club decline despite community need By Rachel SteRn The News BulleTiN
Costs to provide nutritious meals, and demand for those meals, keeps increasing but donations to the 7-10 Club continue to decline. “We have to do more fundraising ourselves and look for every little grant and possibility we can get,” said Denis Ostercamp, treasurer for the 7-10 Club. “Our donations are down and we are needing to raise some good dollars to get us through the rest of the year.” The organization serves a free hot breakfast, homemade soup and a brown bag lunch from 7-10 a.m. from Monday to Friday at its service building located at 285 Prideaux St. According to 7-10 Club’s website, the club saw an increase of 30 per cent of the number of people using its services between 2010-14. During that time, food costs rose 17.5 per cent and donations made by individuals, comprising of 37 per cent of the organization’s budget, decreased 38 per cent. Yet the need for meals has risen from about 60,000 to 85,000 per year during that time. Ostercamp said the organization still needs to pay rent and retain its staff on top of rising food costs. He said funding from service clubs, businesses and other groups has remained about the same. To raise money, the 7-10 Club hosts its second annual Run/Walk Out Hunger in Nanaimo on Oct. 11 at Westwood Lake. “It’s a good time and a good thing they can do before popping the turkey in the oven on Sunday morning,” said Ostercamp. “This is a fun event focused on Thanksgiving when people are focused on feasting and plenty.” Last year the event raised $4,500 and the 7-10 Club would like to double that this year. Registration begins at 9 a.m., the run at 10 a.m. and walkers depart at 10:10 a.m. The trail around the lake is about six kilometres.

Arrests made at Colliery dam protest I policE rEmovE protesters to allow work to begin. By chRiS BuSh The News BulleTiN
Activists turned out early Tuesday in an attempt to delay the start of construction of an auxiliary spillway for the lower dam at Colliery Dam Park in Nanaimo. About 30 protesters, including city councillors Jim Kipp and Gord Fuller, were at the site where crews were to start cutting down trees to make way for the spillway channel. Workers with engineering firm CopCan Civil, contracted by the city to do the work, could not begin operations until the public was cleared from the area. Bylaws officers started enforcement shortly before 10:30 a.m., asking protesters to leave or be issued violation tickets carrying fines of $187. Several of the protesters chained themselves to a tree to thwart City of Nanaimo bylaws officers’ attempts to evict them from the park, while other activists dispersed in pairs throughout the park, forcing bylaws officers to

chase them down. Randy Churchill, city bylaws manager, ordered members of the media covering the protest to leave or be similarly fined shortly before 11 a.m., when the RCMP were called in to help remove protesters refusing to leave the park. Police later arrested two men, ages 73 and 29, who refused to leave, and escorted them from the park at about 3 p.m. Police have recommended
a charge of mischief against both men who were both released on a promise to appear in Nanaimo provincial court at a later date and on the condition neither of them return to Colliery Dam Park. “In total there were 15 bylaw tickets issued and at the end of the day there was a number, five or six protesters, choosing not to leave,” said Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman. “So we made contact with them and gave them
ample time to make a decision whether they were going to stay in the park or not.” Jim Kipp, Nanaimo city councillor, was pictured on social media Tuesday holding a bylaw violation ticket he was issued for refusing to leave the park. Police had to cut away the chain with which several protesters had chained themselves to the base of a tree. Police are also following up with several protesters who were issued bylaws ticket and are suspected of having provided a false name, O’Brien said. They could be charged with obstruction, a criminal charge for providing a false name to peace officers. “The exclusion zone’s in place and anybody found inside that [Wednesday] will be dealt with exactly the same way,” O’Brien said. Two people were arrested Wednesday in the park, one of whom was charged with breach of conditions after the previous day’s arrest and was held in custody overnight. He is scheduled to make a court appearance today (Sept. 17). The other was released pending a promise to appear to face possible charges of mischief. Work resumed Wednesday. photos@nanaimobulletin.com
City councillors deny request to move Tally-Ho liquor store licence By tamaRa cunningham The News BulleTiN
The Tally-Ho Beer and Wine store won’t be hanging its shingle at Brooks Landing Shopping Centre. Nanaimo city councillors stopped a rezoning application Monday for a liquor store at Brooks Landing, with concerns about fairness and proximity to schools. While others have expressed interest in selling beer and wine at Brooks Landing, the Howard Johnson Harbourside Hotel is believed to be the first liquor-licence owner in recent times to apply for rezoning. The Tally-Ho Beer and Wine
store has to move because of a hotel and sports arena multiplex proposed for the property at the corner of Comox Road and Terminal Avenue. Dan Brady, general manager of the hotel, also said that 20 years ago, Tally-Ho was the only liquor store downtown. That was no longer the case when council allowed the Occidental, Quarterway and the Foundry and business has “never ever recovered.” Rezoning was applied for Brooks Landing despite warning by city staff they would not support the application, citing the need to review the liquor control strategy. Staff also said consistency was needed after

other liquor stores were previously discouraged from that site. Brady told council 73 recommendations on liquor licensing changes indicates things have changed in B.C. But the majority of councillors expressed concern about its proximity to Woodlands Secondary and Cilaire Elementary schools, which are across the street on either side of the mall. City criteria restricts liquor stores from being within 150 metres of a school. “When you are around a school, particularly a high school, bootlegging is an issue and I’d rather err on the side
of more caution than less caution in approving liquor sales close to schools,” said Coun. Diane Brennan. Brady did not respond to requests for further comment. Michele Delesalle, owner of Vancouver Island Liquor in Departure Bay, spoke against the application at Monday’s council meeting. “We asked for consistency and they delivered,” she said. Council voted 5-3, with Mayor Bill McKay and councillors Jerry Hong and Bill Yoachim opposed. The trio wanted to see the issue go to public hearing. Coun. Bill Bestwick was not in attendance. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Voters need ID
Voters can expect changes in how they cast ballots in the upcoming federal election. People will see changes on voting day, Oct. 19, as a result of the Conservative government’s Fair Elections Act, including the elimination of vouching. While voters can still have someone vouch for their address, they now have to provide two pieces of identification. In 2011, another elector could vouch for both. Other differences include a longer election and a new pro-rate that will increase parties’ reimbursement limits for every day over a 37-day campaign. It will double the maximum limits for all political actors including third parties, according to John Enright, spokesman for Elections Canada. Elections Canada will also hold a fourth advance polling day on Oct.11 for the first time this year. People will have a total of four days Oct. 9-12 to cast ballots, in addition to Oct. 19.

Pooches promenade Makena Levins, left, Kevin Levins, Annika Levins and Keira Christofferson go for a stroll with Eddie, a Chinese cross Maltese, and Maddy, a yellow lab, during the SPCA Paws for a Cause fundraiser walk Sunday at Maffeo Sutton Park.
A parking lot is “shortsighted,” according to Coun. Wendy Pratt, who argued it was premature to decide what should be done with the site set aside for a luxury hotel. A decision to turn the vacant 100 Gordon St. lot into an interim pay parking lot was stalled at an open meeting Monday as councillors opted to wait until the property’s future direction has been settled. Nanaimo city council previously called for a report on options to create an interim pay parking lot for tourist buses and RVs and learned this month it would cost an estimated $72,500 to create gravel stalls or $163,000 for paved ones – not including street lighting or landscaping. The lot also wouldn’t generate the revenue to cover the

monthly operating charge for a ticket machine, let alone the cost of capital construction. Coun. Diane Brennan called it a mistake to put a parking lot at the site when council hasn’t gone through an exercise on what it wants to do with the prime downtown property. It would also be a mistake to spend the money and set up parking when “we aren’t using all the parking we have,” she said. Pratt called it a valuable piece of land that shouldn’t be discounted for anything. “We are very premature in trying to put this into a box right now and decide what we’re going to do with it,” Pratt said. C o u n . B i l l Yo a c h i m expressed interest in interim use, like parking or an artisan centre, and also suggested the land be put on the market. City manager Ted Swabey told council he plans to raise strategic planning priorities at a Sept. 28 core services review steering committee meeting, where one of the issues could be what to do with the site. news@nanaimobulletin.com

B.C. MiNiSTEr tours Cedar coffee shop. By Chris Bush The News bulleTiN
Coco Cafe in Cedar was busier than usual after lunch when Michelle Stilwell, B.C. MLA for ParksvilleQualicum and minister of social development and social innovation, toured the restaurant. Stilwell’s visit was to help promote Disability Employment Month in B.C. Cedar Opportunities Co-operative was formed in 2007 by several families in Cedar, Yellow Point and Cassidy to create opportunities for employment for people with developmental challenges. The group formed Coco Cafe, which today has 23 employees – 13 of whom have developmental challenges. Stilwell said the café is a leader in employment for people with disabilities. “This is an opportunity to look at the social impact that social enterprises around our province can have and … to make sure that we’re

interacting with the communities, seeing what their struggles are and what they’re able to provide as a service to the community,” Stilwell said. She went on to say it’s important to go beyond having companies simply donate money to such things as community events and hospital foundations and to find ways to collaborate within communities to create greater social impact. Sarah Pachkowsky, the co-operative’s manager of community engagement, said

the co-op is working to get to the point where the café can expand or be franchised in a second location. The café also offers a training program that certifies employees’ skills for work in other restaurants. “The sky’s the limit … but our main objective is to be able to financially support the individuals we have employed at Coco as well as be able to continue our training program,” Pachkowsky said. The café’s 100-hour training program is
for permanent fulland part-time employees and the co-operative recently added a pilot program to help people with disabilities get opportunities for employment and workplace training elsewhere within the community. “ We f i n d w h a t they’re passionate about within our café, start training them there and then … we train them in everything from barista, food prep, delivery, customer ser vice, busing, line cook and so on,” Pachkowsky said. “Once training is complete, the café manager and board of directors sign off on the employee’s certification. The café then either hires those employees or helps find them jobs.” About 40 people are currently waiting to be trained or hired. “But that’s only what we know of right now,” Pachkowsky said. “We know that the need is substantially higher than that.” To learn more about the co-operative and its programs, please contact Pachkowsky at 250-741-6968 or sarah.pachkowsky@ cococafe.com.

NaNaimo rivEr focus of roundtable discussions on watershed health. By Rachel SteRn The News BulleTiN
In the next 50 years, the water levels in the south Nanaimo and Nanaimo River watersheds are expected to decline by 13 per cent, according to the Nanaimo River Watershed Baseline 2014 report. These declines are expected alongside other pressures, such as development and population increases. The Nanaimo River Watershed Roundtable has been gathering research, establishing communication and building trust between different groups. The roundtable includes residents, government representatives, fisheries organizations, forestry companies and others. The group has been working to create a long-term protection strategy for the watershed. “It’s a quiet, behind-the-scenes initiative that keeps moving forward but

doesn’t get a lot of attention,” said Gail Adrienne, executive director of Nanaimo and Area Land Trust. The roundtable was formed after the land trust held the Nanaimo River Symposium in 2011. It has also been trying to secure property along the Nanaimo River to give residents access. Adrienne said several properties are for sale and the organization is currently negotiating with TimberWest’s real estate division Couverdon Real Estate. She said the organization hopes to make an announcement next year. Drought conditions, which led to water restrictions in the City of Nanaimo this summer, affect more than drinking water conditions, such as fish habitat. Judy Wickland, an environmental educator, said she hasn’t seen the Millstone River this low in years. At Bowen Park, an expanse of bare rock where water used to flow lays exposed as a small stream babbles nearby. “Right now, the water is too low for salmon to come up river,” said Wickland, adding the fish don’t usually

start returning until the end of October or early November. This year the City of Nanaimo, the land trust and the Nanaimo River Watershed Roundtable have partnered to host Rivers Day Sept. 27 at the Bowen Park lower picnic shelter from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. It includes music, information and interactive booths.

A strong foundation of students has again led to a French immersion enrolment record in the Nanaimo school district. French-as-a-second language advocacy group Canadian Parents for French announced last week that Nanaimo set a district record for enrolment in 201415. The district said it had 1,600 students enrolled in the program in that year, more than the previous year’s record of 1,386 students. Early French immersion, which includes kindergarten to Grade 7, is offered at Hammond Bay, North Oyster, Pauline Haarer and Quarterway elementary schools, with Quarterway also offering immersion for latecomers beginning in grades 6 and 7. Students can continue immersion at Nanaimo District Secondary School. Enrolment has grown again this year, as preliminary 201516 numbers indicate 1,792 students enrolled in French immersion across the district, which amounts to 13 per cent of district enrolment. Peter Hewitt, school district French programs administrator, said the programs
allow for an establishment of a French immersion student base and thus larger enrolment numbers as students advance through the program. “It’s building up roots from the bottom and there are bigger numbers moving through the system ... so we show increases each year. Last year we were at 1,600, this year were at 1,800, so that’s bringing all the [kindergarteners] right through to the secondary level. Students are staying in the program to graduation to get their dual Dogwood diplomas,” said Hewitt. Stephanie McCune is happy with the education son Noah is receiving at Grade 3 at Quarterway. She said immersion is enriching and opening doors for him. “It’s starting him off on the right foot of having options, so I feel like in terms of his brain development, in terms of his ability to be culturally aware, and to be able to experience this world in a different way, I wanted him to start off like that,” said McCune. There were 50,000 students enrolled in French immersion across B.C. in 201415, or just over nine per cent of provincial public school enrolment, according to Canadian Parents for French. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

EDITORIAL
Tour’s journey is important The Tour de Rock is not a race, it’s a ride, but then again, maybe it is a race – if not to beat cancer, then to try. Twenty-one benevolent, brave, fit riders will set out Saturday (Sept. 19) on the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock, a twoweek cycling journey from the north end of Vancouver Island, to points west, then all the way to the southernmost shore. The participants – 17 police officers, three members of the military and a media rider – will pedal to checkpoints along the way, not in a cycle sprint to the finish, but as a team. They’re not out to win any yellow jerseys, rather, they’re supporting, together, the yellow daffodil that symbolizes the Canadian Cancer Society and its good work and its endless task. The Cops for Cancer’s efforts have raised $20 million since the ride’s inception in 1998. That money can and will make a difference, going not only to programs for children with cancer and their families, but also to pediatric cancer research. There are two ways that we, as a community, can be part of the Tour de Rock as it passes through Nanaimo this month. The first is to donate to the fundraising efforts, either by attending the Red Serge Dinner Sept. 27 at the Coast Bastion Hotel, or stopping by Maffeo Sutton Park for a lunchtime barbecue and rally the next day to speed the riders on their way. The other way we can help is simply to watch for the tour on those days, yield the right-of-way, and offer our smiles, waves, thumbs-up and encouragement. Because they’re pedalling toward something good and true and worthy. There are sick kids here, and elsewhere, and it will forever be so, and we will be the ones who must care for them and care about them. Let’s cheer on the Cops for Cancer as they complete the Tour de Rock. Let’s cheer on the members of this team, the home team, our team, as they ride, and in a way, race.

Country can right its course To the Editor,
The course chosen by neoconservative PM Stephen Harper made Canada lose its international prestige and previous humanitarian reputation. Harper’s ‘reforms’ have turned this country into one mean, ruthless, corporate-dominated enterprise. Rammed through Parliament, those ‘reforms’ are full of deceitful particulars. With dictatorial disregard for democratic process, many oppressive judicial changes are already set in motion. Under Bill C-51, Harper’s own version of U.S.A.’s Patriot Act, everyone faces the risk of being declared a suspect by secret police and arrested and prosecuted in secret. Canada still has an opportunity to get off the neo-conservative path and to restore and protect our rights and liberty. Vote for anyone who has a chance to defeat the neo-conservative machine and stop PM Harper’s ‘reforms.’

Re: Conservatives float funding for foot ferry, Sept. 15. Give your head a shake if you think the Green Party can win Nanaimo-Ladysmith. Not a chance, but both the Conservatives and NDP are very strong in this riding with its new boundaries. With Stephen Harper promising about $14 million of taxpayer moneys ‘if elected’ to fund Nanaimo’s foot ferry to Vancouver, a slick move, and people voting Green, this

could easily hand the victory to Harper’s Conservatives. Now wouldn’t you be happy about that? Research this riding about its strengths and think carefully before you vote. Let’s not once again let vote splitting hand Harper another victory. It could easily be argued that the Green Party is Harper’s greatest asset in the Nanaimo-Ladysmith riding.
R.G. Burnett Nanaimo
To the Editor,
Re: NDP guards against complacency, Sept. 12. It’s disheartening to see Sheila Malcolmson plying the ‘politics as usual’ style of innuendo and focus deflection so early in her fledgling career when she spoke at her office opening. Her ploy of only mentioning the deadin-the-water Conservative campaign as her rival is most disingenuous. Greens not relevant? We’ve all seen the latest Insights West poll for the Island, showing NDP at 39 per cent, Green Party at 32 per cent, Conservatives and Liberals at 15 per cent each. Sunday’s CBC The National did a special piece strongly making the point that Vancouver Island is a
Green-NDP race with the traditional two as the also-rans. Anyone travelling around the riding couldn’t miss the more numerous, bigger Green party signs and posters blanketing the riding. Paul Manly and Elizabeth May drew more than 1,000 at Beban Park last Tuesday. NDP, please stop treating the voters of Nanaimo-Ladysmith as though we are mushrooms. Jordan Ellis Nanaimo
To the Editor,
Arguing about who is most qualified to represent you in Parliament is like arguing about whether it is better to be tarred or boiled. The voting system is a sophisticated means to farm and tax mass human credulity and native human psychological and biological industry, a system and its corporate agents and instruments (including most ostensibly well-educated men and women across these lands) indispensable to the smooth function of our largely de facto government of a society as religiously as scientifically kept poised upon a bloody brink of perpetual near-collapse, at war with every natural instinct with which a child is born and to which we force our most vulnerable citenzry to conform, under duress that could not possibly fail to stymie the courage (and brain development) of the most battle-hardened combat soldier, let alone that of a wee child.

To the Editor,
An hour is all you need to spend with a child who needs you. Big Brothers Big Sisters is looking for someone who can make a big difference to a child’s life by spending just one hour with them at school doing either a game, a craft, baking, reading or just time to talk or listen. It makes them feel they are special because you are there. In nine years I have met some troubled children who were having problems with others because of bullying or just not belonging, but amazingly, when we baked cookies and shared them with their classmates, things slowly began to change. An hour seems like such a little thing, but to a child it can make such a big difference. Give Big Brothers Big Sisters a call. It can make a difference in your life as well.

Delhi 2 Dublin performs at the Port Theatre with the Fugitives on Saturday (Sept. 19) at 7:30 p.m. The Vancouver-based band will be releasing its latest record, We’re All Desi, the day before.
BY NICHOLAS PESCOD THE NEWS BULLETIN
A
fter nearly a decade of performing and making music, Vancouver’s Delhi 2 Dublin feel as if it’s finally coming into their own. “It’s like you’ve reached a new level,” says vocalist Sanjay Seran. “It’s like you’re playing a video game and you beat a boss and this new level opens up.” That “new level” will coincide with the release of Delhi 2 Dublin’s newest record, We’re All Desi, an 11-track album that will be avail-
able for purchase on iTunes tomorrow (Sept. 18). “We are just so happy with so much of the album,” Seran said. “Never has that ever been the case where that many people are happy with that much of the album.” Delhi 2 Dublin was formed back in 2006 after coming together as a group at a festival of the same name. In the years following, they have become well-known for blending and performing multiple styles such as Bhangra, Celtic, reggae and electronica. Seran says the We’re All

Desi has more of a electronic vibe and is inspired by some of the band’s favourite Bollywood albums. “We went more electronic and we dug in deep for, like, old Bollywood samples,” he said. Stuff that we really think is quirky and cool.” According to Seran, Delhi
2 Dublin was trying to do too much in their previous albums and that We’re All Desi has more space and balance. “It’s a separate thing altogether. The live album or the live performance versus an album that you really want to listen to over and over,” Seran said. “I think what we were doing and making the mistake of doing in the past was banging or beating people on the head with way too much with too much stuff.

mation of the Culture and Heritage Commission, a group made up of members not affiliated with the Culture and Heritage department. The commission, which replaces the Cultural Committee and Nanaimo Community Heritage Commission, will make recommendations as to which groups received funding and the amount of funds. The recommendations are then brought forward to city council, who then decide whether to approve the grants. Barfoot says the grant assessment criteria is now much easier for groups to understand and that his department will be able to help groups with the applications. “The assessment criteria is now clearly defined. It is now a weighted assessment criteria, so groups will know ahead of time what they are being assessed on and to what extent,” he said. There will now be a grant appeal process for groups who feel that they didn’t receive a fair amount of money. “Any appeals to the grants would go to a new committee for review,” Barfoot said.

CHANGES MADE involving the culture grant process. By Nicholas Pescod The News BulleTiN
The City of Nanaimo is inviting arts and culture related groups based in Nanaimo to apply for Culture and Heritage operating grants and project grants for 2016. Chris Barfoot, City of Nanaimo Culture and Heritage coordinator, says project grants replace the events and festivals grant that the city offered in years past. “We are looking for groups to maybe show and highlight some of the collaboration projects that they are working on as well as the events,” Barfoot said. Earlier this year, city council and the Culture and Heritage department were questioned about how the recipients of the grants were determined. As a result, the department held public review sessions and have made a few changes to the grants program. “We met with all the groups past and present and ... we heard about their concerns and with the review ... we addressed we believe as many of those concerns as we could,” Barfoot said. Among the changes is the for-

New album deals with relationships By Nicholas Pescod The News BulleTiN
An award-winning musician will be in the Harbour City for the very first time tonight. Prince Edward Island singer-songwriter Dennis Ellsworth will be performing at the Vault Café tonight (Sept. 17). His stop in the Harbour City is part of a tour that began in Gimli, Man., earlier this month and ends in Vancouver on Sept. 26. “I have never played in Nanaimo so I am pretty excited about that,” Ellsworth said. “I am having a good time on this tour so I have got good thoughts going into [Nanaimo].” Last week, Ellsworth released his newest album Romantic As It Gets to Busted Flat Records. The album, which is Ellsworth’s fifth, was recorded in Athens, Ga., and was produced by Sugar’s David Barbe. “It is a lot about relationships with people in my life, relationships with Prince Edward Island, where I am from,” Ellsworth said. Ellsworth, who is from Charlottetown, has been involved in music for years. He is a former member of the The Rude Mechanicals and Haunted Hearts, with the latter receiving multiple Music P.E.I. Awards between 2008 and 2011. Despite his success with Haunted Hearts, Ellsworth transitioned to a solo singer-songwriter in the late-2000s. He released his first solo record, Chesterfield Dweller of the Year in 2009 and in 2013 his album Hazy Sunshine won two Music PEI Awards. Last year, Ellsworth was named one of the Top 10 new artists in CBC’s Searchlight Contest. “It was a great honour,” he said. Ellsworth performs tonight at 9 p.m. Tickets are $10 at the door.

Campground, by the river at Lillooet, I was ready for a chilled Riesling from the nearby Fort Berens winery. The air conditioning worked over time as we tucked into a warm salad – well, it was by the time it was served! Respect for fellow campers, prompted a click of the AC off switch after lights out. Day Three: Lillooet to Vernon features open highway and the chance to open up the throttle. It’s easy to push the needle to 100 klicks but frankly the higher speed take away from the visual delights displayed on both sides of the road. And as I slowed I put myself in the driver’s seat of the car behind, pulling to the side every time I spotted three cars in my mirror. The Cedar Falls Campground is a picturesque and tranquil woodland spot by Silver Star Mountain. The howling coyotes were a nice reminder that this is wilderness. A further reminder holding your iPhone in outstretched hand to get a signal from the camp Wi-Fi! We also had mobile Wi-Fi aboard, which worked well on the road. Day Four was a slow drive through the Okanagan Valley to Kaleden, taking in The Hatch Wines and Mission Hill Estate Winery in West Kelowna and enjoying a barrel tasting at Van Westen Vineyards in Naramata. The skies darkened with a mix of rain-filled clouds and smoke drifting up the valley from the wildfires

Donned the plastic gloves and got on with it. It all went smoothly, so to speak. Keremeos opened the door to the Similkameen Valley and tempted us with the last of the summer fruit. It soon gave way to more rugged terrain leading to the generously equipped Princeton Municipal Campground. Day Six would see us climb and journey homebound along the Hope-Princeton Highway, past rushing streams that made mockery of the extended drought most of the province was enduring.

The sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro made its Canadian debut this month at the 17th Annual St. Catharines, Ont. Powertrain Show and Shine event in front of hundreds of Camaro owners and GM Powertrain fans. The popular annual event is open to all GM-powered vehicles and includes a tour of the St. Catharines Powertrain facility, allowing Camaro owners and fans to see firsthand how an LT1 V-8 engine is assembled. “We’re proud that GM Canada continues to play an important role in the sixth-generation of the Chevy Camaro, with the LT1 V-8 small-block engine being built right here at St. Catharines Powertrain,” said Steve Carlisle, president and managing director, General Motors of Canada. “Everything about the 2016 Camaro is focused on a fun, engaging driving experience, and the Canadian built V8 at the heart of the SS model delivers on that promise.”

by Alexandra Straub
Six motorcycle riders in B.C. are injured daily in the peak summer months of July and August, according to ICBC. Furthermore, 80 per cent of those involved in such cases are caused by motor vehicles. Whether it’s failing to shoulder check, blowing through a stop sign, turning left when the intersection isn’t clear, or simply not seeing a rider, understand you’re not the only one on the road. We are blessed out west to have a longer riding season than most so it’s not too late this year for us to take to heart the lessons we can take from these staggering statistics. “In B.C., more than six in 10 car crashes involving motorcycles happen at intersections,” said Lindsay Matthews, ICBC’s director responsible for road safety. “It can be hard to judge how fast a motorcycle is travelling, so drivers need

Alexandra Straub always rides safely when she’s on a motorcycle. to watch carefully when turning left and be ready to yield the right-of-way. Whether you’re riding a motorcycle or driving a car, do your part to share our roads safely and keep your mind on the road.” As an avid motorcyclist, I’ve experienced all of those scenarios. Luckily, they were all near misses, but they’re still frustrating. The take home message is that drivers need to pay more attention. That said, riders, you pay attention as well. Safety is everyone’s responsibility and it doesn’t have to be a chore on either end. Along with paying atten-
tion, a way to mitigate damage done when riding is to wear all your gear all the time. There’s nothing more cringe-worthy than seeing someone captaining a motorcycle in a tank top or t-shirt, shorts, flip flops or canvas shoes. To top it all off, they’re carrying a passenger wearing just as little as they are. Though, they’re wearing helmets, so it’s OK, right? No, absolutely not. Riders, have you ever banged your elbow on a hard surface? Or hit your ankle against something? Now amplify that pain by the weight and speed that

you’re motorcycle is travelling at. Is it worth being a little less hot on a warm day? It doesn’t matter how good of a rider you are, or how many years you’ve been doing it, accidents happen and you want to be prepared for the worst even when you’re having fun. Some of the best advice given to me as a new rider was in relation to, “You’re spending thousands on your bike yet you don’t want to spend a few hundred dollars on a proper jacket and pants?” alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Walk symbolic of refugees’ plight
I
MONI khaN raises money for Doctors Without Borders. By Craig SpenCe Black Press
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2015 – 7 PM THE PORT THEATRE - NANAIMO
Tickets available at The Ticket Centre. Call 250-754-8550 or buy on-line at www.porttheatre.com
For Moni Khan, a 65-kilometre walk from Ladysmith to Parksville will be an endurance test. For the victims fleeing violence, hunger and disease in trouble spots all over the world, their treks are a matter of
life and death. That difference will be top-of-mind when Khan, accompanied by her friend Crissa Constatine and her teenaged daughters, set out on a fundraising journey on Friday (Sept. 18), beginning at about 3 a.m. Khan is expecting to put in 25 hours over the weekend getting from Ladysmith to Parksville by late Saturday or sometime Sunday. Her goal? To raise $5,000 for Doctors Without Borders, the world’s “leading
independent international medical relief organization,” according to its website. Doctors Without Borders operates in 70 countries, focusing on emergency medical and humanitarian relief. Although physicians volunteer their services to the organization, fundraising is needed for logistical operations and medical supplies. Khan will have lots of time to think as she advances one step at a time toward Parksville. Her thoughts will
focus mainly on the plight of those fleeing persecution, starvation or disease, she said. “Every step will be worth it,” she said. “I will be thinking about how they have to walk hundreds of miles to get to freedom and safety.” She’s hoping her gesture will raise awareness about the need for funding to help international relief organizations like Doctors Without Borders. To donate, please visit http://bit.ly/1Nv1v27. editor@nanaimobulletin.com
Youth volunteer program hosts fundraiser “This is a real positive take on what kids want to do in our community,” said Rita Innamorati, from Volunteer Nanaimo. Volunteer Nanaimhopes to expand the summer program to run year-round. To raise money, Volunteer Nanaimo is hosting Touch-aTruck, an event fea-
turing family activities and a wide variety of trucks and vehicles, including vintage tractors, logging trucks, ambulances, army and police vehicles, and more. Touch-A-Truck is Sept. 20, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Beban Park fairgrounds. Admission is by donation.

• Thickens and Strengthens Hair • Strengthens Nails By now you know. Adding body collagen directly reduces wrinkles, increases skin elasticity, and adds vital moisture to your skin. Indirectly, collagen thickens and strengthens your hair. You may also know that collagen production slows by 1% per year after the age of 21. Can you gain it back? Yes. But not by eating collagen. You see, collagen is a protein. When you ingest it, your body breaks it down, like any other protein, and uses it as food. When you want the real beauty benefits of collagen, you have to generate it.
www.nanaimobulletin.com
In today’s News Bulletin
BioSil™ generates collagen by activating the collagen producing cells in your body known as fibroblasts. It is clinically proven to increase collagen formation. In fact, in the clinical trial the women taking BioSil™ reduced wrinkles by 30%, increased skin elasticity by 89% and thickened and strengthened their hair by 13% compared to women not taking BioSil™. So when you want genuine visible results from collagen, generate it, don’t eat it. Experience the beautiful difference for yourself!

The B.C. SPCA’s Million Acts of Kindness movement has passed the halfway mark, thanks to the compassion of citizens across the province. Humane acts such as calling the SPCA cruelty hotline when a dog is in a hot car in distress, choosing to purchase cage-free eggs, spreading the message about spaying and neutering pets or adopting animals are all part of the campaign. Each week an act of kindness is featured on the campaign website, www.millionacts.ca, for people to complete. One of the most popular is pledging never to leave animals in hot vehicles. The organization has received more than 1,200 calls this year about pets in hot cars. For more information, please visit www.million acts.ca.

Beefs & bouquets BOUQUET To the friendly people from the Sunnybrook Estates who came to our aid when our vehicle broke down on Sixth Street. They directed traffic and called the tow truck. BEEF To parents who allow their children to scream and cry in stores and restaurants. Have some consideration for others. BOUQUET To Ashley at Discount Battery for getting me a new battery when mine went dead. It only took her five minutes. BEEF To my sister, who moved out from her children because they were no longer part of her dream. BOUQUET To the bagpiper on Shack Island. Hearing you play is a wonderful way to spend the evening. BEEF To the home detailing company for not doing the job as per agreement. We cannot pass on your name to others. BOUQUET To Barron’s Appliances for fixing my three-year-old dishwasher and going over and above the call of duty to get it done. Great service and skills. BEEF To management who colluded for the past five to six years to destroy the best non-profit society in Nanaimo. The board of directors are too naive and arrogant to figure it out. BOUQUET To the very honest lady, Jane, who found my son’s new iPhone and made sure it was returned to its rightful owner. I am a true believer in karma, and good deeds will always come back to you. BEEF To Justin Trudeau for copying Donald Trump’s use of an elevator in his television ads. Is this how he plans to lead Canada, by copying Donald Trump? BOUQUET To Phyllis from Nanaimo Hospital Auxiliary craft group for her generous donation of $40 to purchase quilt backing fabric. We were touched by your kindness.
BEEF To all Nanaimo gas stations. Why is gas still $ 117.9 in Nanaimo while only $110.9 in Ladysmith, $109.9 in Duncan and $106.9 in Comox? BOUQUET To Dr. Chan at Holly Tree Dental for his exceptional help in showing my kids how to properly take care of their teeth. BOUQUET To Dr. Carr and the third-floor RNs, HCA, support staff and medical imaging at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital for the excellent care I was given over a two-week period in April after surgery for a ruptured appendix. BOUQUET To non-smokers who work more time in a day than smokers, who take numerous smoke breaks. Unfair to nonsmoking workers.
BEEF To the person who thinks a changeroom at a local thrift store is a washroom. What kind of person does that?
BOUQUET To Emma at Flight Centre who, always with a smile, went the extra mile to book our flight at the time we needed.
BOUQUET To the ladies who host the Nanaimo Wedding Swap and Shop page on Facebook. What a great resource and community you have built for local brides to do all things wedding. Your diligence and organizing does not go unnoticed.
BEEF To the politicians who continue to allow private contractors in health care who care more about money than their employees and the elders they serve.
BEEF Be an example for your children and teach them to put garbage where it belongs: in their pockets or their backpack until they find a garbage can. It doesn’t help when they witness you throwing things out the car window. BOUQUET To the Calico Cat for letting a little girl’s dream of dressing up and experiencing high tea with her grandmother happen. Thank you for the experience – she will never forget it. BEEF To the golf course for making us all think we need to drive a 4x4 to make it over the potholes to enjoy a round of golf. Time to tee off somewhere more user-friendly. BOUQUET To the people who have weeded the west entrance to Rock Ridge Estates. You do a great job and it’s a pity other people don’t help. Unfortunately because of health problems I can’t. BEEF To the letter carrier who stood outside my door texting for close to two minutes. No wonder the mail gets mixed up. That goes for other people too. Save texting for your breaks. You’re being paid to work. BOUQUET To corporations. They are always being criticized for being greedy, yet they pay very high union wages to their employees and manufacture goods that are affordable at the retail level. BEEF To the people at the Maffeo Sutton Park crabbing dock keeping undersized crabs. Read the regulations and play by the rules, we all want to continue crabbing and eating our legal catch.
Nanaimo News Bulletin 29
BOUQUET To Elaine, Tom, Reg, and staff of Carlos O’Bryan’s pub for their love and support and for so generously catering our son’s memorial service, and to everyone for being there in so many ways. BOUQUET To the Nanaimo Clippers. Good luck this season, guys.
BOUQUET To the Good Samaritan who saw my mother standing on the corner of Tunnah and Uplands roads looking lost and confused. She stopped to ask Mom if she was OK and drove Mom back to her retirement home.
BOUQUET To Dr. Jenkin and his team, as well as the nursing staff at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital, during my recent surgery and hospital stay. Nanaimo is most fortunate to have such a fantastic group of health care professionals.
BEEF To employers who ask employees to install GPS tracking apps on their personal smartphones. Not only is it a massive privacy concern but it is insulting to ask employees to use their personal property to supervise the employer’s business.
BOUQUET To David Hayward of Royal LePage Realty and Keith Wood at RBC for making the purchase of our first home such a happy, low-stress process. Thank you for all your help as we searched (and searched) for our perfect home.
BOUQUET To Bill and Debbie for arranging and hosting the block party on Coach House Drive, so we get to meet our neighbours.
BOUQUET My husband and I dined at a restaurant and we would like to thank the strangers who paid for our meal.

Clips hit home ice, captain leads charge I BROSSEAU WEARS ‘C’ in 2015-16.
BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
GREG SAKAKI/THE NEWS BULLETIN
Castaway Wanderers player Sam Rocher, left, is tackled by Nanaimo Hornets opponents Ray Senini and Tyler Cameron during the Div. 1 season opener Saturday at May Richards Bennett Pioneer Park.
Hornets have hot start to rugby season The Nanaimo Hornets came out buzzing in their first match of the fall season. The men’s Div. 1 rugby club defeated the Castaway Wanderers 38-24 on Saturday at May Richards Bennett Pioneer Park to begin the Vancouver Island Times Cup schedule. The Hornets led 21-14 at half and poured it on the rest of the way. Clive Stocks, coach of the Hornets Div. 1 men, said the team’s speed and conditioning will be a strength this season. “We’re working really hard on fitness; it will be
the key for later in games,” he said. “We’re also setting in some offensive and defensive systems so we’re working as a unit of 15, rather than just forwards working and backs working. It’s starting to come along quite well.” The Hornets have been working with the Vancouver Island University rugby club, with the sides running the same types of systems and practising together. It’s meant great turnout at practices, Stocks said, and he’s encouraged by what he’s seeing at this stage of the season. “Looking at the steps
we’re taking from last year, getting some players back who haven’t played for us for a couple of years is really key to solidify the team, and we’re pretty confident that we’re going to do a lot better this year than we did last year,” he said. GAME ON … The team visits the Port Alberni Black Sheep this Saturday (Sept. 19). Next home action for the Hornets is Oct. 3 against the Cowichan Piggies, when the women’s match kicks off at 11:30 a.m. and the men follow at 1 p.m. sports@nanaimobulletin.com
When the Nanaimo Clippers skated off the ice last spring, they were cheered for all they’d done. When they skate back onto the ice this week, they’ll be cheered for what’s to come. The Clippers hold their home opener this Friday (Sept. 18) as the Victoria Grizzlies visit Frank Crane Arena for a B.C. Hockey League matchup. Part of the festivities that night will be player introductions, including one for the newest Clippers captain, Devin Brosseau. “I’m really excited. It’s an absolute honour to wear the ‘C’ for the Clippers this year,” said the veteran centre. Mike Vandekamp, Clippers coach, said Brosseau is a “really good ambassador” for the team and a confident, mature, take-charge type of leader. “He’s obviously one of our most experienced players; he knows what we’re looking for here on a daily basis,” said the coach. The 20-year-old from Saint-Lambert, Que., was a 20-goal

scorer in his rookie season in 2013-14 but missed more than 20 games with injury in his sophomore season last year. “It’s kind of a bounce-back year if you want to call it that,” Brosseau said. “You want to be able to come back and produce and perform.” He wants to be reliable defensively, while at the same time contributing offensively. “I think [the captaincy] is going to push him to have to be more consistent in his play, and that’s going to help him have the year that he needs to have,” said Vandekamp. Aside from Brosseau’s on-ice accomplishments, he has also enhanced the fan experience at Frank Crane Arena. In his rookie year, he advocated for
free admission for children, a move that has boosted attendance ever since. He said players were talking in the locker room about trying to attract more kids and teens to games. “They’re the ones that like to make some noise in the rink,” he said. He looks forward to seeing fans young and old fill the Frank for this week’s home opener. “It gives you that extra energy on the ice and it has a pretty big impact,” Brosseau said. “We love our fans, we support them, they support us and I think that’s the way it should be in junior hockey.” GAME ON … The Clips and Grizz face off at 7 p.m. Friday. Nanaimo hosts the Powell River Kings on Saturday at 6 p.m. sports@nanaimobulletin.com
Rebels guarantee a victory, but Raiders have other ideas BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
The final regular-season home game is huge for the V.I. Raiders. Nanaimo’s junior football team plays its longtime rivals, the Westshore Rebels, this Saturday (Sept. 19) at Caledonia Park. The Raiders must win to keep alive their hopes of hosting a playoff game, to maintain their
perfect record against the Rebels, and to bounce back from a loss last week to the Okanagan Sun. “We look to get back on the rails and make a statement versus Victoria,” said Jerome Erdman, Raiders coach. “That’s going to be a huge game.” The two teams met a month and a half ago in Langford and the V.I. team needed a blocked
field goal in the dying minutes to preserve a two-point victory. After that game, according to Raiders receiver Dustin Rodriguez, a Rebels player guaranteed that Westshore would win the rematch. “I don’t know about everyone else, but it makes me pretty mad,” Rodriguez said. “They’ve never beaten us before and they’re going out and saying
that. I guess we’re going to find out what happens.” He said his team showed it can run on the Rebels, and he thinks that this time the Raiders will be able to pass the ball effectively, too. “We’re going to be coming out firing,” he said. Erdman said discipline will be important in what is sure to be a charged atmosphere.
“When Victoria and Nanaimo play, there’s a little something extra to that game,” he said. “There’s a lot of emotion and a lot of intensity and it’s going to be a great game, it’s going to be a battle. I’m looking forward to it.” GAME ON … Kickoff is at 2 p.m. Saturday. Tickets will be available at the gate. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Box lacrosse can celebrate

JR. B TEAMS clash tonight at ice centre.
They say you can choose your friends, but you can’t always
Local minor lacrosse can look back on a fine summer, as the calendar turns over to autumn. A handful of local boxla players were able to extend their seasons by participating in national championship tournaments across the country. Nanaimo had three junior women on Team B.C. this year that defeated Team Ontario 6-4 to win gold at the Canadian Lacrosse Association championships in Calgary at the end of July. Madison Krassman was the winning goalie in the final and Elise Angelucci and Santana MacIntyre were also part of that team. Brendan Carlson and Sean Clark won silver with peewee Team B.C. in Whitby, Ont. in August and Matt Bishop and Adam Fulton were Team B.C. representatives on the midget squad at nationals, winning bronze medals in Whitby last month. Bishop and Fulton had been part of the midget T2 Nanaimo Timbermen, who earned bronze at provincials in Prince George earlier in the summer.
League matchup tonight (Sept. 17). The matchup sets up as a bit of a tiebreaker, as the Bucs and Gens skated to a 3-3 draw this past weekend in Parksville.

GAME ON … The
Buccaneers and Generals face off tonight at 7:15 p.m. at the Nanaimo Ice Centre. Admission is $9 for adults, $8 for seniors and students, $5 for kids.
