Election sees former chief return to Snuneymuxw council BY CHRIS BUSH THE NEWS BULLETIN
At least one familiar face is back on the Snuneymuxw First Nation band council following an election held Saturday. The band council consists of Chief John Wesley
and 10 councillors, five of whom are elected every two years. The election for the chief is held every four years. Former chief Doug White III was elected to council with 165 votes and was the vote leader. White, who was defeated

by Wesley in the 2013 election for chief, said he will bring issues he undertook as chief back to the council table. “We did a lot of great work in the four years I was chief and I’ve been concerned about how that work has been, in some ways, aban-
doned over the last couple years,” White said. He said he wants to focus on the future development of the Wellcox rail yard, which is an opportunity for every level of government and industry to work together. See ‘WATERFRONT’ /3
There’s no longer a need for general management at city hall, according to interim city manager Tracy Samra, who plans to axe three positions this month. Samra announced a plan Monday to save $816,000 a year by downsizing the senior leadership team at the City of Nanaimo by eliminating the remaining general manager positions. It reflects the desire by Samra for a “flatter” organization where department directors and managers have the authority to lead, but it’s also part of an effort to reach a zero-per cent tax increase during a four-month provisional budget next year. A staff report shows additions to the budget could have seen taxes rise by 1.9 per cent in 2016 before changes were made. There’s still room for the tax rate to change, however, after council completes a core review in March. The move comes just weeks after the appointment of the interim CAO, amid the start of the city’s core review and a new communications protocol for media that restricts direct access to the mayor and acting mayor. This is the second change to the senior leadership team since 2013, when a reorganization saw seven high-level positions axed. Samra said as city manager, it’s her responsibility to carry out the will of council, which said it wanted no increases in service or staffing levels during this interim period and wanted to reach a zero-per cent tax increase. She said this made sense to do now for cost savings in 2016 as it saves four months’ salary. See ‘ONE’ /4

Opiate antidote kits expected to save lives
I
NaNaiMo fiRST island hospital to offer program. By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN
Nanaimo’s hospital is the first on the Island to offer a takehome antidote for fentanyl. Nanaimo Regional General Hospital’s emergency department began handing out twosyringe Naloxone kits last week to offer people a take-home antidote for opioid overdoses like fentanyl and heroin. AIDS Vancouver Island in Nanaimo also offers the kit and Harris House plans to begin dispensing it in January, seeing it as a life-saving tool akin to EpiPen. The kits are paid for through the B.C. Centre for Disease Control and in part, a response to an increasing use of fentanyl in illicit drugs. While no current statistics are available, a preliminary report from the B.C. Coroners Service shows fentanyl was detected in 91 of 257 illicit drug deaths in B.C. between January and Aug. 31, 2015, compared to 13 in 272 deaths in 2012. More than half of the deaths where fentanyl was detected this year were in Nanaimo. Fentanyl is getting mixed into every drug out there, includ-

ing marijuana, said Dr. Trapper Edison, manager of the NRGH emergency department, who said before rolling out the program the department was testing people’s urine for fentanyl and found it could be present unbeknownst to patients. The take-home kits, available to those seen at NRGH for opioid-related medical emergencies or those at-risk for an overdose, are meant to increase access, and put antidotes and community resource information into the hands of drug users.
It’s harmless medication, says Rebecca McGregor, registered nurse and program trainer at NRGH, but in the case of an overdose it “fully saves lives” and within moments. An overdose depresses the respiratory centre of the brain and ceases circulation. Narcan binds to opiate receptors and allows people to breath again, she said, although McGregor still encourages people to call 911. Since 2012, about 5,000 people have been trained across B.C. to use the kit and more than 325
“It’s a piece of land that’s really at the core of the story between the Snuneymuxw people and the rest of the world because the northern part of it was granted to us – or recognized – by the Treaty of 1854 as our aboriginal title lands and that’s something that still needs to be fulfilled,” White said. “The work has to be about treaty implementation and grappling with the complexities of that.” White envisions the site as having similar redevelopment potential as False Creek or Granville Island in Vancouver and other industrial sites that were successfully reclaimed as urban commercial and residential centres. Also elected were Regan Seward, 135 votes; Douglas J.C. White II, 125 votes; Isaac Thomas, 117 votes; and Stacy Jean (Kate) Good with 116 votes. A total of 466 ballots were cast. Chief John Wesley was not available for comment before press time Wednesday. Snuneymuxw First Nation has a population of about 1,700 and is one of B.C.’s largest First Nations.

overdoses have been reversed because of Narcan, according to Jane Buxton, head of harm reduction for the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, who says that number alone makes it clear the kit is needed. To date, there are 115 locations across B.C. where people can access a kit. St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver, Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, and Nanaimo are the only emergency departments offering Naloxone kits. Edison said in practical terms, the kits can save money. To admit an overdosing patient into the hospital costs approximately $18,000 a day. A person who had Narcan and then went to the hospital wouldn’t need to be admitted. But mostly it’s about the people and the needs of all walks of life, he said. McGregor adds that this is a small community and that 60 per cent of overdose deaths are happening here is huge. “These are people we see regularly,” she said. “If we can take advantage of a program and try to lessen that, why wouldn’t we?” Medical health officer Dr. Paul Hasselback said it was a logical extension to provide antidote training to those affected. If it works well, he expects it to spread to other emergency departments.

Under the changes, one severance package will be negotiated. The only position currently filled is by Tom Hickey, general manager of community ser vices, who has been with the municipality 17 years. His position will be eliminated at the end of December. Toby Seward has been both acting general manager of community development and protective services, and director of protective and social services. He’s now senior director of the section. Ian Howat, formerly general manager of corporate services, resigned in November. Samra also froze the manager of parking services position. Mayor Bill McKay was reached for comment, but said he was not permitted to comment on the subject.

part of management. She said the club and union have come to an agreement on quite a few issues, including health care. Ash Chadha, golf club general manager, said the last offer included wage increases, benefit premium increases and job protection. The union has not made a counter-offer or suggestions as to needs and wishes. He said that the reprisal clause was one of the issues and that there are a num-
ber of others which are outstanding. “That is not the only issue. For example, money is still not resolved, wages are not resolved, the wage progression is not resolved,” said Chadha. “We have a management position which we want to create with the ability to do some bargaining work. That is not resolved.” Ervin said workers are in good spirits despite the length of the dispute.

With a lockout entering its eighth month, employees and management of Nanaimo Golf Club remain at an impasse. Management locked out 24 food and beverage employees in late April. The last offer was made in late October and membership voted against, according to Shelly Ervin, financial secretary-treasurer, of the hospitality workers’ union (Unite Here, Local 40). Ervin said two members have crossed the picket line during the work stoppage and the union is taking issue with a no-reprisal clause that she said management has included in proposals. Union members who violate picket
lines could be subject to fines and loss of membership, but the clause would protect those workers. “That goes against everything that the workers believe in. It goes against the bylaws and their constitution and they will never vote on a package that stifles their ability to voice a democratic opinion,” said Ervin. She also said the union is against a proposal to take the chef position out of the union and make it

Trustees allow parents to opt out of testing
city scene
Ex-principal pleads guilty
By Karl yu
A former woodlands secondary school principal pleaded guilty in Nanaimo provincial court Monday to a charge of theft $5,000 or under. David Mark street, 55, was charged in May stemming from an allegation of theft in an RCMP investigation. street subsequently resigned and received no severance from the school district. he will see his next day in court on Jan. 6.
The RCMP’s Vancouver island emergency Response Team was called out Monday morning to search a Nanaimo home suspected of having stolen firearms inside. Police entered the home on the 700 block of Quilchena Crescent at about 9 a.m. No issues were encountered upon entry, but a 34-year-old man was taken into custody. A search of the home by Nanaimo RCMP street Crimes unit turned up two shotguns, one of which was loaded, plus several ounces of cocaine and crystal methamphetamine. The man taken into custody was arrested for numerous alleged firearm-related offences and possession for the purpose of trafficking. “when an investigation determines there may be firearms in a residence or there is potential for violence, eRT is often utilized for the entry to minimize the risk to the general public,” said Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman, in a release.

“It’s a quiet sector in the province, but it’s kicking well above its weight … it touches every sector whether you’re innovating in the mining industry or tourism. It’s about building tech that has a global market opportunity,” Gaudet said. She said building Nanaimo’s tech sector still needs supporting infrastructure, such as fibre-optic Internet, and educational institutions to provide training to fill high-tech jobs, but the kick start for rapid local tech growth will count on “getting that one entrepreneur to hit one out of the park.” “There’s this misconception that Nanaimo’s a tech hub,” Gaudet said. “Well, we’re not there yet, but we have the potential to be.”
Parents can expect correspondence from both the Nanaimo school district and teachers’ union regarding Foundation Skills Assessment testing. The tests, administered annually for Grade 4 and 7 students, are slated to run from Jan. 11 to Feb. 19 and examine reading comprehension, writing, and math. They are controversial, as results are used by the Fraser Institute, a right-wing think tank, to rank B.C. elementary schools. Dale Burgos, school district spokesman, said a letter from superintendent John Blain and Stephanie Higginson, acting school board chair woman, is expected to be delivered by January. “There will be a form at the end where parents can, if they choose to do so, opt their child out of the FSA testing,” said Burgos. Shannon Iverson, Nanaimo district teachers’ union vice-president, said the union letter states that the skills assessment tests are not a reliable way to gauge individual progress. “It’s not connected to what they’re potentially working on at that point in time in the units that teachers are teaching,” said Iverson. “The tests could actually be addressing learning that is not even going to happen until later in the year.” In an e-mail, the Ministry of Education said it supports testing because it views it as a valuable measure of student performance in reading, writing and numeracy. However, it also said it is looking at ways to improve student assessment and anticipates field testing new Foundation Skills Assessment tests during the 201617 school year. Full implementation is estimated to occur in 2017-18.

providES capital to rapidly scale up production. By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN
A $100-million technology fund could fertilize Nanaimo’s growing technology sector. B.C. Premier Christy Clark announced the venture capital fund, a component in the government’s strategy to diversify B.C.’s economy, Dec. 8. Paris Gaudet, executive director for Nanaimo’s Innovation Island, said companies that could take advantage of the fund have welldeveloped products and customer bases, but have reached the point where they must rapidly scale up production and market penetration. The venture capital fund aims to keep B.C. companies and attract skilled workers, support companies and services, rather than relocating to larger markets and taking jobs and talent with them. “Based on what we’ve seen, the work we’ve done, the companies that we have in our roster right

now, there’s two or three that are ready to take things to the next level,” Gaudet said. One of those companies is Resonance Software Inc., which developed WorkSight, a software suite that calculates employee pay and scheduling and is used extensively by the forestry and pulp and paper industries. “We were approached by a partner in the entertainment sector and we’re working with them right now,” said Ivan Eggers, vice-president of operations. “One of the reasons why we’re interested in the funding is we want to branch out into new markets beyond just manufacturing and pulp and paper.” Securing venture capital will help the company market a new product ready for release. “We’re competing against some very big companies and that’s our challenge. Their marketing footprint is just so massive and that’s where we need the help to compete a bit more effectively,” Eggers said. Technology is B.C.’s fastest-growing economic sector, providing 86,000 jobs with wages 60 per cut higher than other sectors and has potential to double by 2020.

EDITORIAL
Management has to evolve
Change has quickly led to more change at city hall, and we’re curious as to what it will mean for citizens. The City of Nanaimo, faced with two vacancies in upper management, opted not only to eliminate those positions, but also to fire another general manager as part of the overhaul. It effectively removes an entire tier of management from city staff, and it should have immediate impacts. Taxpayers seem to be the shortterm beneficiaries, as the savings on salaries will help the city put forward a provisional budget with an expected zero-per cent tax increase. That determination to keep taxes down is something that city councillors campaigned on, but something that becomes more difficult to do every year as the cost of everything rises. The restructuring scheme suggests that the city feels it can manage its dayto-day operations without an additional level of oversight. That may be true, but it’s possible that with fewer staff members at the top, there could be a trickledown effect on workloads and that citizens could experience some reduction in services. Eliminating some of the bosses might empower the department heads, but it might also have the opposite effect. With fewer general managers to champion causes and promote projects, it could further concentrate decisionmaking into the city manager’s office. Much will depend on the governance model that emerges, the personalities in the various city departments and the efforts of councillors. So we will await the outcomes. We do think that, if the city was going to eliminate management positions, then the outset of a core review process was an appropriate time to do it. Our city’s leadership and management will continually be analyzed, assessed and adjusted, and that is how it should be.

Bus service tied to city’s development To the Editor,
Re: Bus service inadequate, Letters, Dec. 8. The letter writer found Nanaimo’s transit service lacking in comparison to Victoria. What she may not be aware of is the fact that the city of Victoria itself has about the same population as does Nanaimo, but occupies only a third of the land mass. With three times the population density, public transit (and all public services such as sewer, water, police, fire, etc.) is cheaper in Victoria, hence can provide a much better service for the same investment.
Nanaimo’s visionary documents all point to correcting this situation, in part by transitioning us into sustainable, affordable transportation and by increasing our population density. Leadership from city hall and the province is urgently needed to stop Nanaimo’s sprawl and invest in our public transportation and cycling infrastructure. Such leadership is, in my opinion, lacking. Would that we follow visionary places such as Victoria, Whistler, Vancouver and many others. Ian Gartshore Nanaimo

Board’s decisions exacerbate problems Re: School closure leaves questions, Letters, Dec. 8. We continually hear educators talk about a critical mass of students being essential to ensuring a secondary school having the ability to offer adequate and equitable educational opportunities. Comments from some board members during the consultation discussions two weeks ago clearly zeroed in on that fact as they expressed increased apprehension around John Barsby Secondary School’s predicted decreasing enrolment. Why then are those very same trustees blatantly skirting around the issue of reopening Cedar, the closure of which originally occurred to specifically address capacity issues at that very school as well as John Barsby and Ladysmith Secondary? The truth is the board should not be talking about declining enrolment at either of those two schools when they

supported re-opening a high school whose enrolment will be seriously directly affecting the other two and the district as a whole. In order for this school district to become sustainable, capacity utilization must be addressed. Those trustees that continue to turn a blind eye to revisiting their blatantly biased decision to re-open Cedar Secondary, just shows a total lack of respect for the rest of the students and parents and in this community. Trustees are hypocritical in touting capacity issues at John Barsby and LSS in the absence of looking at that very same issue at Cedar Secondary with a predicted less than 200 student enrolment. In fact they are closing schools with higher enrolments than that (Woodlands, 595; Rutherford, 239). No wonder public confidence in this board is at an alltime low. Barb Humpherville Nanaimo

To the Editor,
I’ve been asked about my lack of letters to the editor. I said I was hoping to find some positive city news to praise, not always negative stuff about tax waste. So merry Christmas and best wishes for the four-year terms, or turmoil. Thank you city staff for building a new building with no new council chambers at twice the cost of fixing the annex. Thank you council for using tax dollars to pay the Vancouver Island Conference Centre for Shaw Auditorium use to make it look like delegate days. Thank you City of Nanaimo for a new water treatment plant with major cost overruns by the go-to contractor. Thank you for tax hikes.

District ratifies contract
I
agrEEmENt oN aboriginal education. By Karl yu
The News BulleTiN
Nanaimo school district and Snuneymuxw First Nation have ratified an education agreement. The deal, which runs until the end of June 2017, defines the relationship between the two, areas of mutual responsibility and agreed upon schedule for payment for the purchase of education programs and services by the First Nation, according to Laura Tait, district director of instruction. Terms include the board providing Snuneymuxw students the opportunity to sign up in classes that will enable them to graduate and move
on to post-secondary education. The district will not be able to transfer students to adjusted level courses, unless adhering to assessment and placement guidelines, including parental approval and a report detailing reasons. Students with potential to leave school early will be offered “appropriate alternative educational services.” In conjunction with the board, Snuneymuxw will develop language and culturally related materials, which can be used to teach students. The First Nation will provide lists of resource people with knowledge of the culture to the board. Snuneymuxw also will be obligated to pay annual tuition fees to the school board.
Tait said tuition for every student living off reserve comes from the Ministry of Education to school districts. For status First Nations students who live on reserve, but attend public schools off reserve, Tait said funding comes from the federal government, through Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada, to the First Nation and to the school district, based on terms outlined in the agreement. “The First Nation also receives funding from [Aboriginal Affairs] for students attending on-reserve, band-run schools,” said Tait. There are approximately 100 Snuneymuxw students, from kindergarten to Grade 12, said the school district.

lows around it,” said Al Brown, past-president. Another activity is The Pinks for the Pier project that releases pink fr y bred at Nanaimo River Hatchery. Fred Adkins, association spokesman, said at spawning time, a net is stretched across a shallow spot of the river and people in wet suits slowly swim upriver. Fish are collected, put into tanks and transported to the hatchery.
“They’re stripped of their roe and milt,” said Adkins. “The eggs are artificially inseminated and reared up there until they’re at a stage where they bring them back to the pens at the harbour.” The association offers a place to practise and learn a number of shootingrelated disciplines, including rifle, pistol and skeet shooting. Archery is also offered and is seeing a bit of a renaissance, according to Adkins.
“Since Hunger Games has come on, archery is just taking off,” said Adkins. “So we’re actually building another archery building. [The current] one is only six lanes ... they’re building a 14-lane one.” Adkins said new members are always welcome – the current total is 1,900 members.

Manager scales back city hall’s core review By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN
Public engagement and governance has been struck from the City of Nanaimo’s core services review, which is expected to be smaller and take less time. Nanaimo council agreed unanimously Monday to hire Edmonton-based WMC-Joyce Tustian Consulting to undertake a core services review, slated to begin right away. It’s been nearly a year since Nanaimo politicians made a core services review a top priority for 2015 and two months since coming up with terms for a request for proposal. At the time and because of its scope, consultant Roshan Danesh anticipated the price would be higher than $200,000 and the review would take eight to 12 months. The breadth has since changed. City manager Tracy Samra said she eliminated the governance review portion of the RFP because of the Watson Report, which looked into the same issue and offered recommendations two years ago. She also removed public engagement, as it’s already covered through strategic planning, a different process. Council budgeted $350,000 for the review, but recent bids came under $250,000, according to Samra, who said the city is in negotiations. The aim now is to have the review wrapped up by the end of March. “When you take away those two ends (governance and public engagement), and you leave just a review of programs and services, you are able to focus it down,” she said. “It’s also shorter because instead of doing a comprehensive review of every single thing that’s done, council is going to pick a limited number of priority areas. Not everything is going to get the same level of review and scrutiny.” If there was desire to take a year, “you are almost in paralysis,” unable to set your priorities and budget, said Samra, who says council authorized a more focused, shorterterm review. Coun. Gord Fuller said he’s thrilled about moving forward and supported the RFP changes. Public engagement, for example, can be done by city staff members, including through surveys that can be fed to the core services consultants. What he’s hoping for now is follow-through at the end of the process. “One of the problems with core reviews is a lot of cities that get it don’t like what they see and they don’t follow through,” he said. “We may have to make cuts we really don’t like, but for the good of the city I think you have to do that,” he said. news@nanaimobulletin.com

A Wish for You... As we prepare for the 2016 opening of our second Victoria location, QF View Royal, it’s an opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to the many Vancouver Island people who make up local trades, businesses, friends and of course loyal customers. You have enabled us to evolve from a single store in Qualicum Beach to becoming a well-rooted part of many communities on Vancouver Island and Powell River, where we are fortunate to work, play and raise our families. Wherever we can, we rely on the talent from these very communities to help us get where we’re going as we continue to work at creating fresh, interesting and inviting shopping experiences, not only in our new stores, but by upgrading and renovating existing stores in 2015, such as Northridge Village, Nanoose Bay and more.

Beefs & bouquets BOUQUET To Dr. Jenkin and all the incredible staff in the operating room at our hospital. From sign-in to discharge, the professional staff kept me safe, warm, informed, and most important, treated me like a human being, not a number.
BEEF To the man in the Brooks Landing parking lot who said I was milking the system because I was using a handicap parking stall (I had my permit in the window) and I was walking. He has no right to judge people in such a way.
BOUQUET To the generous woman at the Beban dog park parking lot. She saw me struggling to lift my elderly golden retriever out of my car, went home and returned with her used dog ramp. She gave it to me and refused payment.
BEEF To the church that encourages shunning my disabled son. Your cruelty is a spiritual mistake.
BOUQUET To the thoughtful and generous customer who paid it forward on Giving Tuesday so that I could afford to take my aging cat to the vet. Your extremely kind gesture will forever be in my thoughts and heart.
BOUQUET To the three lovely ladies at the Grant Avenue immunization clinic for staying past closing on a Friday to ensure I had my records printed out.
BOUQUET To Woodgrove Centre for making my day by playing Collabro, my all-time favourite group, over your loudspeaker system. BEEF To the person who wants to lay down at the bus stop. Arrive on time and eliminate your problem. BOUQUET To Katrina at ICBC who was so kind, helpful and friendly when I renewed my driver’s licence. This senior was most grateful. BEEF To those people who have been hurting others. It will return back to you sooner or later. BOUQUET To a very helpful usher at the Port Theatre. As a group, we were missing a ticket due to family illness. He escorted us to our seats with a smile. BEEF To those who write letters to this newspaper and are too scared to use their whole name and instead hide behind their initials. BOUQUET To Joanne at Longwood TD bank. Your efficiency, kindness and patience is greatly appreciated. I hope your boss sees this. BEEF To those who are performing the rain dance on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Enough already – I think I would rather have snow. BOUQUET To the volunteers and staff at Nanaimo Community Hospice who help us celebrate and remember those we have lost during what can often be a difficult time of the year.
BEEF To people trying to change Christmas. Please respect that it is a Christian celebration and feel free to not participate or create your own holiday if it offends you. BOUQUET To the singing Christmas tree performance. It was one of the best ones. BOUQUET To the man in line behind me in Costco who paid for my purchases, stating he was paying it forward. The meaning of Christmas personified. I am also paying it forward. BOUQUET To Charles at the Nanaimo Golf Club for doing an unbelievable job – professional and caring. BOUQUET To the customer service staff at Hospital Commons Pharmasave. To me, they have been more than exceptional. Patrick found me a gelato bar and let me stay and eat it in the store. BOUQUET To the person who found my easy clip sunglasses at Sears and turned them in. BOUQUET To Jared and the staff at Kal Tire on Old Victoria Road for their consistently friendly, professional and efficient service. I got my first new set of tires (ever!) last week and they were great to deal with.
BOUQUET To the Mid-Island Co-op that donated money to purchase sewing machines for the Georgia Avenue Elementary School sewing program. Such a thoughtful, constructive, positive gesture to promote healthier attitudes and lifestyle to kids that need this helping hand. BOUQUET To all the people of Nanaimo who came out and supported the NRGH hospital auxiliary craft sale. We donated $6,300 because of your generosity. It makes all of our members so pleased that the craft items are appreciated by our community.
Nanaimo News Bulletin 27
BOUQUET As my appointment for winter service took an hour longer than advised, when I went to pay, I was told it was no charge. What a nice surprise for a senior on a fixed income. BOUQUET To the News Bulletin for its usual Christmas song book. Merry Christmas, everyone. BOUQUET To the lotto kiosk outside Wal-Mart. I purchase my girls’ bus passes there. They are always friendly and helpful. When my receipt was damaged, they cheerfully gave me a new one. BOUQUET To whoever found and turned in my black purse to Wal-Mart customer service with everything intact. Thank you, to a special kind of person who has given me back faith in humanity. BOUQUET To the kind women who initiated the Fill a Bag purse project. Such a clever, generous and thoughtful initiative that will be a useful yet luxurious gift to so many. BOUQUET To the wonderful staff at Woodgrove Crossign Co-op gas station. You are terrific and I love coming to get my gas there. BOUQUET To the people at Hartmann and Company for the beautiful work they did installing a new shelf in my cabinet. BOUQUET To the City of Nanaimo public works department for replacing a burnedout street light as soon as I reported it. BOUQUET To Applecross vet hospital for the care and compassion and support we received through the loss of our cat. You made a difficult day much easier for us. BOUQUET To Edith who helped me with a knitting problem at Michaels and then gave me her mittens. What an angel.

It is with profound sadness that the Lawlor family announces the passing of their beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend. Dorothy passed away peacefully surrounded by family on December 9, 2015 at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. Left to cherish her memory is her husband of 63 years, George. Dorothy was a loving mother of 4 children; Karen, Kathy (Brian), Bob (Patti), Dianne (Bruce); 10 grandchildren, Niki (Tony), Mike (Juanita), Samantha (Ryan), Janine (Tyler), Kabri (Brodie), Dani (Clay), Paige (Jesse), Brady, Lauren, Reid; great grandchildren, Rylie, Dakota, Desirae, Austin, Emmett, Addison, Hudson; sisters, Jean, Joyce, and brother Bob (Mary). She was an extraordinary wife and mother who devoted her life to the well-being of her family. She provided a welcoming home, always offering food when you arrived. There were weekly lunches with daughters and granddaughters. She enjoyed Friday night evenings with friends, her weekly bridge and Shells golf group. Dorothy loved family gatherings. Family always came first. She will be deeply missed. The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the caregivers on the 3rd floor of Nanaimo Regional General Hospital, Dr. Steve Beerman and Dr. Scott Nielson. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to cancer research, Heart and Stroke, or Covenant House. I Walked With You As Long As I Could I walked with you as long as I could. Our years were many, our days were good. I watched you fade slowly day by day; My heart wept tears, I hid them away. I could not show you weakness or grief, I gave you strength and staunch belief. God took your hand and we had to part. He eased your pain, but He broke my heart. I wanted you with me for a few more years. God knew how I felt, but He knew best. He took you home so you could rest. Life goes on, I know it’s true, But it’s not the same since I lost you. Your beautiful memories I will treasure forever, Of the happy days when we were together. With an aching heart I whisper low, I love you and miss you so.
Smoker,
Beatrice Evelyn
I
t is with sadness and yet joy that we announce the passing of Beatrice Evelyn Smoker (nee McLachlin) on Dec. 5, 2015 at the age of 92. Sadness because we will miss her, joy because she is in the presence of her Lord. Bea was born to Gertrude and Neil McLachlin May 12, 1023 in Ogema, Sask. She grew up in Saskatoon where she received her education. She is survived by her loving husband Harold of 66 years, also by her children, Gordon (Sandi), Donald (Margaret), five grandchildren, Jason (Tara), Terry, Amanda (Marc) Sequin, James (Siobhan), Brendan (Andrea) and six great grand-children. She also leaves behind her nieces, Betty Mills of Regina, and Patricia Fletcher of Vernon. Bea moved to Vancouver in 1942 where she worked as a Stenographer for the Vancouver Police Dept., then moving on to H.A. Seniors Consulting Engineering Firm where she met Harold. They were married October 29, 1949. In August of 1950 they moved to Nanaimo where Harold worked at H.R. McMillan Pulp Mill. They attended First Baptist Church where Bea served the Lord faithfully in various capacities. In the community she worked in the Government Agent’s office as a Court Stenographer, Health Center and then the Cancer Clinic until her retirement. Bea will be remembered for her sharp mind, her love of knowledge, her love of people, her love of her Lord, her curiosity, her ready sense of humor and most of all for her devotion to Harold, her family and the people with whom she crossed paths. Many young people were helped by her wisdom when they were going through some difficult times. The family would like to thank FBC for their prayers and kindness through illness as well as those PCU staff and Hospice volunteers for their competent and compassionate care. A service will be held on Sunday, Dec. 20, 2015 at First Baptist Church, 1650 Waddington Road at 3:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to BC Children’s Hospital or the Palliative Care Unit at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital.

Tipoff 2015-16: Basketball’s back in a big way
I
HIGH SCHOOL HOOPS starts season with eight Nanaimo squads in mix.
Williams said he wants his team to play loose, push the basketball on offence and be difficult to play against on defence. “That’s still kind of evolving as I see what we look like as we go,” he said. Dover’s boys host the Barsby Blazers in an exhibition game tonight (Dec. 17) at 7 p.m. at the Dover Bay Secondary School gym.
BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
Basketball is back and Nanaimo high school teams are ready to crowd the court. The city’s five high schools feature eight senior teams this season. Dover Bay, Wellington and Nanaimo District have boys’ and girls’ teams, while Woodlands and John Barsby have boys’ squads. Here’s the News Bulletin’s annual high school hoops preview:
DOVER BAY GIRLS
DOVER BAY BOYS
The Dover Bay Dolphins senior AAAA boys made their case as an early-season favourite, placing second at the tough Welcome Back Tournament in Duncan last week. Dover is still finding its b-ball legs. Practices weren’t full contact until last week because a handful of players were busy winning provincial bronze medals on the volleyball court. “That athleticism and commitment has translated. They had a successful season there, and hopefully we can translate it over to here,” said Carson Williams, coach of the Dover senior boys’ basketball team. “The energy and focus has been good, they’re excited, they really want to get going.” The Dolphins are a veteran group, with five returnees, all “heavy minute-getters” from a year ago, the coach said. “The five guys who are returning have all been excellent leaders and are really doing a good job showing people how Dover Bay likes to practise and play.” Sweet-shooting guard Ryan MacDonald will be an offensive leader for Dover, while forward Jeff Webb will provide scoring and rebounding in the paint. Guard Quinn Mirau and hard-working vet Miles Huynh are other guys who will be counted on.

Dover’s senior girls are saying ‘aloha’ to basketball season. The team is in Oahu, Hawaii, this week, and plays St. Francis there today (Dec. 17). Rick Hart, coach of the Dover senior AAA girls, had been planning the trip for the team since last spring and said he was looking forward to it. “It’s always good to play American teams. Usually they’re just a little more skilled all the way around and a little smarter and stuff,” he said. “So I think it will be a good experience FOR BASKETBALL for us to play scores and stats, some different please visit www. teams.” nanaimobulletin.com. He coached Dover’s junior girls last year and after a strong season, they move up to form the core of the senior team. There are two Grade 12 vets who are key players – post player Elise Angelucci and swing player Rose Plensky – and the newcomers include point guard Madeline Hart and shooting guard Sophia Fan. The coach said he tries to keep things simple at this stage of the season, focusing on defence and rebounding, and taking care of the basketball and making good decisions in the offensive end. “We’re just playing everybody and getting some experience, so it’s going pretty good, I think,” Rick Hart said. “We have a good, athletic crew and they’re really keen.” Dover’s home opener is Jan. 7, when the Alberni Armada visit for a 5:30 p.m. tipoff.

NANAIMO DISTRICT BOYS
GReG sAKAKi/The News BulleTiN
Nanaimo District Islanders centre Callum Gemma, right, scores overtop of a Claremont Spartans opponent last Friday at Cowichan Secondary School.
The Nanaimo District Islanders senior boys will just worry about the things they can control on the court right now. Coach Jacob Thom was asked about the team’s top-10 provincial ranking, but said he didn’t want to talk about it, and that it was too early in the season to judge that sort of thing. For now, the Islanders just want to practise and play, as they get in more game action than usual with an early start to the season. “It means more games…” said Thom. “It’s going to be good for us in the long run.” Players are moving the ball around pretty well for this time of the year, but can be more consistent in that area, the coach said. He would also like to see the Islanders get more aggressive with their rebounding. The Islanders have had ample opportunity to play all their guys and are still figuring out which players are capable of playing big minutes and filling key roles. The team is led by its Grade 12 captains – centre Callum Gemma will pose matchup problems for most teams and forward Max Reed goes hard to the hoop and contributes in all phases of the game. Another forward, Anders Cederberg, will provide secondary scoring, and contributors in the backcourt include Will Fridriksson and James Robinson. “It’s going to be more of a team effort this year for us,” Thom said. “It doesn’t really matter who scores … it’s going to be by committee.” The Islanders host the Mount Douglas Rams in exhibition action Dec. 30 at 1 p.m. at the Nanaimo District Secondary School gym.

The Nanaimo District Islanders senior girls can be competitive through their work ethic on the court. The team is young and short on scoring depth, but will only improve over the course of a tough senior AA schedule. “They’re excited and they’re really willing to work hard in practice,” said Jenna Carver, who will co-coach the team this season with Alix Stupich. “We have a lot of strong players and a lot of girls that are willing to show up and give their best effort, which is something that we ask for every day.” Grade 12 post player Natasha Jensen is the leader and top scorer and will be counted on to “take control on the court,” said the coach. Shooting guard Janessa Swan will be looked to for secondary scoring and swing player The News BulleTiN Jenna Falkenberg Nanaimo District Islandprovides high ers forward Natasha Jensen energy and scordrives to the basket during a ing. Other contributors include road game this month. guards Taylor Olsen and Marina Andersen. The coaches said it’s a versatile group, with players willing to take on different roles to help the team. “We just need to learn to play together more, and I think that’s going to come over time,” Carver said. “We’re focused on getting better each day at practice and using each game as an opportunity to get better.” The Islanders’ next home game will be against the Isfeld Ice in the new year, but scheduling hasn’t been finalized.

WELLINGTON BOYS
Wellington’s senior AAA boys have been among the city’s busiest basketball teams this fall, with plenty of game action already under their belts. “We’ve put a lot of time and effort in,” said Luke Letham, coach of the Wildcats. “The boys are finding out what’s working.” They’re finding success, he said, when they are able to share the basketball and keep it moving around the court.

Alex Staniforth and Daniel Goodman are two key forwards, both able to contribute scoring and rebounding. Shooting guard Ryder Jenks will also play important minutes. The Wildcats were one of two Nanaimo teams to reach the provincial championships in 2015 – the NDSS boys were the other – and Welly intends on making a return trip. “We had a pretty good run [last year],” said Staniforth. “Now that we’re all older and we’re a better team, it should be a fun year.” Wellington’s boys visit the Barsby Blazers on Jan. 5 at 7 p.m at the John Barsby Secondary School gym.

WOODLANDS BOYS
For the Woodlands Eagles, it isn’t just another basketball season – it’s their last season. With Woodlands Secondary School slated for closure in the spring, the Eagles boys will provide the last chance to cheer at the gymnasium. “We’re using that as motivation to push us through the rest of the year,” said Dan Bown, Eagles coach. This fall, he asked his guys if they want to be “just another team that played at Woodlands,” or a team that made a statement. “We’re taking it to heart and we’re trying to leave a lasting mark on the school.” Wins will be hard to come by. Some restructuring of leagues has pushed Woodlands (and John Barsby) up to the senior AAA division against traditionally higher-tiered teams such as Wellington and Nanaimo District.
The Wellington Wildcats are trying to find ways to scratch and claw and stay in basketball games early this year. The senior AAA girls have an overhauled roster and the players are still figuring out how they fit together. “The girls haven’t really played together very much, so they’ve got to start to trust each other and build that sense of team…” said Nicole McRae, the team’s coach. “We’ve got some people in the right spots, we just need to jell. We need to come together.” The ’Cats have lost some games this fall, but they won a couple in tournament action last weekend and are showing commitment to improvement. Olivia Mjaaland is the team’s veteran leader and best player and is fearless driving the paint. She is joined by fellow returnees Shaneeka Swift, who will provide secondary scoring from the shooting guard position, and Mccalli Franklin, who can rebound and score. Sabrina Milligan, though a Grade 12, is new to the team and has been an immediate contributor in the backcourt. Shaylie Jobbagy is a promising Grade 10 forward. “The girls are hard-working. They don’t quit; they’re always giving it their all…” McRae said. “It doesn’t matter what the score is, they don’t stop. They keep trying to execute, they keep trying to run their offence, work hard on D, and that’s the

best thing you can have as a coach, is girls that want to work hard and want to play.” Wellington Secondary School will host its annual Superball tournament Jan. 7-9. Look for game times in upcoming issues of the News Bulletin.
“I’m just taking it as it is,” said Bown. “You can’t really argue who you’re facing … You’ve just got to go out and play.” Point guard Jordan Cox will be Woodlands’ primary ball handler and scorer, while forward Max MacKay will bring toughness, rebounding and scoring. Shooting guard Ardel Cabusas and forward Ben Whiting are other contributors. The coach said the group can achieve its goals if it works hard and applies what it learns in practice to games. “We’re a team in progress…” Bown said. “We’ve still got a lot of work to put in to get to where we want to be by season’s end.” Woodlands hosts the Nanaimo District Islanders on Jan. 5 at 7 p.m. at the Woodlands Secondary School gym. Woodlands wasn’t able to put together a senior girls’ team this season.

TAX SALE REDEMPTION NOTICE
The Barsby Blazers were able to surprise some teams last year, but now, playing one tier higher, upsets will be harder to come by. John Barsby Secondary School’s senior boys have a largely rebuilt roster this year as they make the jump to the AAA division. “Things that we might have done earlier last year, because we were a more veteran team, this year we’re just in our basic set,” said Brian Lennox, the team’s coach. “Our offence is pretty simplistic. We just try to get guys in spots, try to minimize our weaknesses and play to our strengths.” The Blazers have the ability to be tough defensively, but the consistency isn’t yet where it needs to be. The communication has to improve, the coach said, and “we’ve also got to be competing on every possession. Right now we’re not there.” Michael Wyse is the team’s primary scorer, but whereas in the past he was a shooting guard, now he’s being asked to take on an expanded role as point guard. Forward Brendon Dumont will be an all-around contributor and another forward, Ibrahim Herwi, will also chip in points. Alex Bonnetplume and Austin Olson, now that their football season is over, will be looked upon to play important minutes on the basketball court. The Blazers play an exhibition game against the Dover Bay Dolphins today (Dec. 17) at 7 p.m. at the Dover Bay Secondary School gymnasium. John Barsby won’t put a senior girls’ team on the court this season.

Dash cam onboard camera systems
Piloti Mille driving shoes
High output adaptors
Dash cams at top of motorist gift lists filled with techno gadgets Santa will doubtless be dashing about delivering dash cams by the dozen, as they are top of many gift wish lists this year. Most people see the onboard cameras, which continuously record the driver’s view of the road through the windshield, as a great way of gathering video evidence in the event of a collision. Internet websites featuring often hair-raising video of dramatic crashes are drawing viewers in their millions. Thousands of eyewitness videos featuring car crashes, narrow escapes, and even staged crashes designed to commit insurance fraud have been uploaded to YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and dash cam dedicated websites. The cheapest units start from as little as $30 but as is always the case with technology, you only get what you pay for. Testing by the Driveway team shows that for less than $100, you can get a serviceable camera for your car. However, if you want to install a more sophisticated version that records such information as date/time, speed, G-forces and location then get ready to spend more than $200. Yours truly bought a BlackVue DR3500-Full HD system, which retails for more than $400. I would recommend it for commercial fleets and people like me who want to record trips for

Nissan has launched a Spotify playlist specially curated by Leaf fans around the world in celebration of the fifth anniversary of the delivery of the world’s first all-electric Nissan Leaf. “Nissan Leaf owners are among our most enthusiastic customers, and we wanted to get them involved in a unique way as we celebrate Leaf’s anniversary, so we asked followers on Facebook and Twitter which songs they would choose to honour the all-electric vehicle’s five years on the road,” said Andrew Speaker, Nissan’s director of electric vehicle sales and marketing. “With suggestions ranging from No. 1 hits to obscure B-side tracks, Leaf fans helped us cultivate the perfect soundtrack for this occasion.” Users can search for the 100 per cent Nissan Leaf fifth-birthday playlist on Spotify and enjoy 10 fan-suggested songs that can be streamed via the Bluetooth connection in the Nissan Leaf or other Nissan models. The first all-electric Nissan Leaf was delivered on December 2010, and since

Audience playtime Spectators encouraged to make noise during theatre show By RACHEL STERN The News BulleTiN

Rachel Scheibel, who plays Cinnabon in Nanaimo Theatre Group’s pantomime production of The Emperor’s New Clothes, left, Tasha Ballantyne, who plays Peter, and Kelly Kijek, as Dame Sally Sew N Sew consult the magic book on advice to defeat the evil count while Carolyn Kuhn, who plays Fairy Silkenlace, peeks over them.
ake noise. Boo. Cheer. Jeer. This kind of behaviour isn’t just accepted during pantomime performances, it’s encouraged. At the Nanaimo Theatre Group’s pantomime adaptation of The Emperor’s New Clothes, actors said they expect people to shout out. And while the audience members have fun in their seats the actors will be having fun on stage bringing their kooky characters to life. “It think it’s just fun to play a character over the top and eccentric,” said Rachel Scheibel, who is Cinnabon, the Emperor’s fashion advisor. Carolyn Kuhn plays Fairy Silkenlace. Her character is invisible to the actors but audience members can see her. She depends on directions from audience members given to the actors on stage to help her guide the side of good. “This is a chance for kids to come and they don’t have to worry about being really quiet in their seats. They can call out and enjoy it,” said Kuhn. “It is such a fun, colourful show that it would be sad to miss.” Audience members are
encouraged to boo when the bad guys make an entrance and shout out clues to help the fairy. Kuhn said the fourth wall that usually separates the audience and actors during performances doesn’t exist in pantomimes. Although the pantomime has been “jazzed up a bit” from the original, it still has the same morals and lessons about vanity and kindness for the kids to absorb, she said. Tasha Ballantyne, who plays Peter Sew N Sew, said during the performance the actors and audience members can feed off each other’s energy, ramping up the fun. “We are having a blast,” she said. Her character helps battle Count Cross Stitch who fools the Emperor. With the help of his magic book and friends Peter helps good triumph. The original play, The Emperor’s New Clothes, was written by Hans Christian Andersen. It was crafted into the pantomime tradition by Nanaimo Theatre Group members Ian Matthews, Peggy Harris and Sheila Coultish. The writers had to tweak the story to flesh out the character of Dame Sew N Sew more and use fewer locations because of stage size constraints.
“It isn’t a panto story, so we used it as a base and built the story around it,” said Matthews. The main theme that the writers ensured to include was good versus evil. Kelly Kijek plays Dame Sew N Sew, the go-to fashion expert for the Emperor. “The whole thing has been a blast to be able to camp it up and let it go to the cartoony aspect,” he said. “I think it will just be a harmless riot. I think it will be loud in a cheery sort of way.” Although Kijek has performed in Nanaimo Theatre Group productions before, he never acted in a panto. He was inspired to perform in the pantomime after reading the memoir of Stephen Fry and his experiences with panto productions in the ’80s while attending Cambridge University. The Emperor’s New Clothes pantomime premiers Friday (Dec. 18) at 7:30 at the Bailey Studio, located at 2373 Rosstown Road. It shows Dec. 18-20, Dec. 26-30 at 7:30 and matinees are Dec. 19, 20, 26 and 27. A special New Year’s Eve show is 9 p.m. on Dec. 31. Tickets are $16, except the New Year’s show which is $25.

Singers welcome light on darkest night
I
SOLSTICE SHOW features classic, original songs. By RACHEL STERN The News BulleTiN
On the darkest day of the year, Vancouver Island singers will bring a little light into people’s lives with music. Residents can enjoy the operatic voice of Cowichan Valley singer Cari Burdett and the melodic voices of Nanaimo singers Sarah Wood and Talia Bowell during the Winter Solstice
Concert with Cari Burdett and Friends Sunday (Dec. 20). “It’s going to be a great evening of music and I’m hoping to fill the house,” said Burdett. She studied classical voice and opera. However, Burdett said she possesses a collaborative spirit and sought greater opportunities to mix genres and work with other artists. This collaborative passion comes through on her latest album, Magnolia. It’s a merging of opera, jazz and folk. On the album she sings a mix of classic and
original songs. “I don’t shy away from opera, but I don’t sing opera. I’m just trying to be honest about all the parts of myself,” said Burdett. “I’m trying to find a way not being shy about my operatic training but not being exclusive. I am not afraid of layers. I adore them. I think they create different colours.” Burdett is also a music producer, teacher and owner of the Lila Music Centre. She also founded the Cowichan Community Threshold Singers, a group of people who
“
It was like an arrow that shot to my heart. sing to terminally ill patients. She started the group eight years ago, inspired by Kate Munger who started the original Threshold Singers group in the United States. “It was like an arrow that shot to my heart,”
said Burdett about why she started the group in Cowichan. “We go to care homes and sing at people’s bedsides. It basically is about offering love.” Offering love and sharing people’s holiday wishes is also a big part of Burdett’s winter solstice concert. During the concert she invites audience members to write down their wishes or prayers for the coming year. These sentiments are placed in a box and Burdett and the other performers take them out one at a time and create a song out of them. “It’s quite a beautiful
moment,” said Burdett. During the concert people can expect to listen to a diverse selection of music. The performers will sing classic fiddle and piano songs, a rendition of The Beatles’ Here Comes The Sun, Baby It’s Cold Outside, and others. “It’s a journey. It’s not one genre. It’s a mixture,” she said. The concert is at 7 p.m. at the Harbour City Theatre, located at 25 Victoria Rd. Tickets are $24.15 and are available at www. schmoozeproductions. com. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Walk highlights heritage
I
SELF-GUIDED tour allows residents to learn city’s history. By RACHEL STERN ThE NEws BullETiN
Nanaimo’s culture and heritage department is offering residents and visitors a new guide to view some of the oldest residential buildings in the Old City Quarter. The new brochure, A Walk Through Time: Your Guide to Nanaimo’s Old City Heritage Walk, is one of eight heritage tours created by the city to shed light on the Harbour City’s diverse cultural heritage. Of the eight tours, one is a biking tour and another is a driving tour, but the rest are for walkers. “It covers all the core areas downtown and the outlying areas. It’s been about 15 years to put these all in place. It all started with the downtown one,” said Chris Sholberg, City of Nanaimo’s culture and heritage planner. The tour features 36 locations, mostly historical residences and is 6.1 kilometres long. Scholberg said it can take up to three hours, depending on people’s walking speed.
RACHEL STERN/THE NEwS BuLLETiN
Chris Scholberg, City of Nanaimo culture and heritage planner, holds the new Walk Through Time self-guided heritage tour brochure in front of the historic Manson House on Selby Street.
The first spot identified on the walk is the Manson residence on Selby Street. The original home was a modest worker’s cottage built between 1885 and 1887. According to the brochure, renovations to the home include a front verandah and gable and late-Victorian posts. Modern doors and windows have also been added, but the original cottage is still visible from the side of the house. Although workers made their home in the area, it also attracted wealthier citizens. “It tended to be one of the
exclusive areas … for people who had wealth,” said Sholberg. “The purpose of all of the heritage walks is to provide awareness about Nanaimo’s heritage and history, through its built heritage,” said Sholberg. “Each neighbourhood has its own story to tell.” The brochures are available in city buildings, the Nanaimo Museum, Tourism Nanaimo and the Nanaimo Community Archives. Copies can also be downloaded from the city’s website, www.nanaimo.ca.
