Paving truck plunges from ferry trestle I DRIVER, WORKER in skiff below escape incident uninjured.

BY CHRIS HAMLYN and CHRIS BUSH THE NEWS BULLETIN

Ferry service between downtown Nanaimo and Gabriola Island will be disrupted for at least the remainder of the weekend after the trestle at the Nanaimo B.C. Ferries terminal gave way, dumping a Royal Paving truck full of asphalt into the water early Friday.

Paving was taking place at 3:45 a.m., following the installation of a new water line at the termi-

nal, when the truck went on the wooden trestle that leads to the ferry boarding ramp.

The truck rolled off the trestle and fell about four metres, landing upside down in the water. The truck’s driver managed to jump out of the vehicle as it went over and escaped serious injury.

A B.C. Ferries safety officer positioned in a skiff below the trestle where it collapsed managed to jump clear and was also unhurt.

The driver suffered minor injuries, while the trestle was damaged and put out of commission.

Mark Stefanson, B.C. Ferries spokesman, said a structural engineer was on site assessing the trestle’s structural integrity.

CHRIS BUSH/THE NEWS BULLETIN

A barge and crane from Vancouver Pile Driving stands by to lift a dump truck from Nanaimo Harbour at the downtown B.C. Ferry terminal Friday. The truck rolled off the ferry loading platform when it backed onto a walkway that collapsed under its weight.

“It’s major damage done to the trestle,” Stefanson said. “It’s going to be out of service for a number of days, that’s for sure.”

The 5:25 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. departures from Gabriola and 5:55 a.m. and 7 a.m. from Nanaimo were cancelled, but service resumed for

the 7:40 a.m. sailing from Gabriola with the MV Quinsam docking at B.C. Ferries Duke Point terminal. ◆ See ‘CRASH’ /4

City facing lawsuit from telecom giants over 911 call answer levy

BY TOBY GORMAN THE NEWS BULLETIN

The City of Nanaimo is being called out by wireless providers concerned with a bylaw that would impose a levy on federally regulated companies to fund 911 calls through cellphones or other wireless devices.

Telus Communications Corp.,

Rogers Communication Partnership and Bell Mobility Inc. filed a petition through the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association to the Supreme Court of British Columbia Tuesday challenging the city’s ability to impose a levy on an industry governed by federal regulations.

Nanaimo passed a bylaw on

2011 Nissan Rogue

Nov. 22, 2010, to implement a levy on wireless providers to help pay for the central Island 911 service. The Regional District of Nanaimo and Cowichan Valley Regional District, which are partners in the 911 service, passed identical bylaws.

All three local governments are named in the petition.

director of information technology, said the bylaw was created to take the cost burden of operating the 911 service off Nanaimo taxpayers and apply it to users of wireless devices.

“We did analysis on the calls to 911 and over 50 per cent of the calls are coming from the wireless side,” said Kristensen. “We do not get anything from the

wireless side as far as funding the 911 service. It’s all funded through land lines, which make up less than 50 per cent of the calls to 911.”

He added that while the petition was registered with the court in Vancouver, the city had not yet been legally served with a challenge as of Thursday. ◆ See ‘LEGAL’ /4

Pay parking added at District sites Parking at two Nanaimo school district properties will no longer be free by the end of this month.

The district signed a contract with Robbins Parking to begin charging for parking at a lot on Selby Street and at Serauxmen Stadium.

Neither site is attached to a school.

District officials believe the biggest users of the Selby Street lot are Discovery College students and City of Nanaimo employees. Those organizations were informed about the pay parking, said district s p o k e swo m a n D o n n a Reimer.

Pay parking at Selby will be 24 hours a day yearround and will go into effect in the coming weeks.

At Serauxmen, pay parking runs from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays from September to April, when users are believed to be primarily Vancouver Island University students.

There will be no charge on evenings or weekends nor from May to August.

Reimer said the change, which was approved last month by trustees, is to recover revenue from the district’s vacant properties.

“The main idea is to at least cover the costs of maintaining the lots,” she said. “We think that it will definitely be enough to make sure we can maintain the lots and maybe return some revenue to the district.”

Trails get Google exposure

BY CHRIS BUSH THE NEWS BULLETIN

CHRIS BUSH/THE NEWS BULLETIN

Katelyn Merrett and Rob Campbell of Google maps check out camera and GPS systems as they boot up the computer aboard the Street View tricycle prior to mapping Maffeo Sutton Park Wednesday. Merrett and Campbell are using the trike to map and photograph Nanaimo’s park and commuting trails. Google teams are spending the summer mapping urban trails across Canada. The information will be available on Google maps in 2012.

Newsbriefs

VIU Cowichan campus open Vancouver Island University’s $27-million Cowichan Campus in Duncan is ready for the start of the fall semester.

The facility is part of the new Cowichan Place, a multi-functional complex that

incorporates VIU, the Cowichan Aquatic Centre, School District 79 offices and Island Savings Centre – home to the Cowichan Community Theatre, Vancouver Island Regional Library and the local arena.

The new campus offers a range of academic, applied career, technical, vocational and developmental programs, including 27 first- and second-year university classes.

The campus also features a state-of-the -art science lab, computer labs and several multipurpose classrooms, a 110-seat lec-

atelyn Merrett can tell you what it’s like to pedal a 180kilogram tricycle up the Nanaimo Parkway Trail.

Just 100 metres into her task last week, the Google map special collections officer hit her first steep hill. It took eight attempts, by alternately standing on the pedals with her full weight to crank them a few centimetres, stop, hold the brake and then crank the pedals a few more centimetres to get one full rotation out of her wheels.

“I was wondering when that hill was going to end,” Merrett said.

Merrett and co-worker Rob Campbell from Google Maps are putting plenty of sweat and toil into mapping and photographing Nanaimo’s Parks and trails on the company’s Street View tricycle.

The trike carries a computer, GPS system, cameras and other devices with electricity provided by a small on-board gas-powered generator, to gather data and images. The bike enables Google to get into areas motorized vehicles can’t.

The pair are mapping most of Nanaimo’s major parks and had already run through Bowen, Neck Point, Colliery Dam, Jacks and Biggs Point, Pipers Lagoon and Beban parks, plus the E&N and Parkway trails by Wednesday, when they mapped Maffeo Sutton Park. They will also map

ture theatre, cafeteria and kitchen, library commons, and many inviting study areas for students.

A grand opening is tentatively scheduled for Sept. 22.

Half of HST ballots returned More than 1.6 million voters sent in their ballots for B.C.’s referendum on the harmonized sales tax, a rate that matches the 51 per cent turnout for the 2009 B.C. election.

the trails of Nanaimo’s waterfront, Westwood Lake Park and other areas suggested by the city.

“We don’t just do park systems,” Merrett said. “In other cities they focus on other tourist hot spots like university campuses, zoos, theme parks, golf courses – anything that’s inaccessible by a vehicle that could be of use to the public.”

How long the work will take depends on the weather and the terrain.

Campbell and Merrett have been mapping urban trails across western Canada since May. A second trike and crew are mapping trails in the eastern half of the country.

The data will ultimately be processed and available on Google Maps, but it could take a year of processing before the information becomes public.

The city has fostered a good working relationship with Google.

Google Earth’s chief technology officer named Nanaimo the Capital of Google Earth, said Guillermo Ferrero, city manager of business applications.

“Residents will have an opportunity now to see what the trails look like, before they go out for a bike ride,” Ferrero said.

“New businesses or people relocating to Nanaimo may want to go to Street View and look around the houses they want to buy.

It benefits the residents, it benefits business and the tourism community as well.” photos@nanaimobulletin.com

Elections B.C. sent out just over three million ballot packages starting in June.

Temporary staff at Elections B.C. are working seven days a week in two shifts, intending to have the ballots verified and counted by the end of August.

A simple majority of votes cast will decide whether B.C. keeps the HST and lowers the rate by two points to 10 per cent in the next three years, or reinstates the former seven per cent provincial sales tax on top of the five per cent federal GST.

Legal challenge not a surprise ◆ From /1 Nanaimo partners with the RDN and CVRD to operate the central Island 911 Service out of the Nanaimo RCMP detachment at an annual cost of about $1.5 million, one-third of which is covered by land-line levies.

Billing wireless users as well is estimated to save local taxpayers about $500,000 annually.

The 911 centre, which covers the Malahat to north of Lantzville, receives about 53,000

calls annually.

But the wireless telecommunications association questions the ability of local governments to apply a tax to a federally regulated industry. Spokesman Marc Choma said even if it could, the nature of wireless technology would make it impossible for companies to bill its customers for using a 911 service.

“In general there are a wide variety of issues that would also need to be addressed, not just if cities can impose a levy

“It could be that maybe somebody’s cellphone is registered in that municipality but they don’t live there, they live somewhere else. And how do you collect a tax from visitors using the service in the city?” he said.

Al Kenning, Nanaimo’s city manager, said the bylaw was passed by city council knowing there could be a challenge from wireless providers.

“There was always the possibility that this could have happened,” said Kenning. “I believe staff and council were hopeful those companies would support the

local government and the local community and switching the burden off the taxpayers and putting it on the users. It appears, however, as though they’re not willing to do that.”

Kristensen said the Canadian Radio-television Telecommunication Commission has not provided municipalities with a mechanism to cover 911 call centre costs from wireless devices.

Choma said Nanaimo’s bylaw is the first known attempt by a Canadian municipality to impose such a tax. reporter2@nanaimobulletin.com

Crash interrupts ferry service ◆ From /1 A bus met Gabriola foot passengers at Duke Point, transporting them to downtown Nanaimo. A water taxi began ferrying foot passengers between Gabriola and Nanaimo for the 8:50 a.m. sailing.

Ve h i c l e s e r v i c e through Duke Point will continue until repairs are made and B.C. Ferries is 100 per cent confident the trestle is safe, said Darin Guenette, B.C.

Ferries spokesman.

“At first glance, that is not going to be shortterm,” he said. “To the average passenger, the trestle looks like a little roadway, but underneath it is the typical criss-cross wooden railroad trestle.”

B.C. Ferries conducts regular maintenance inspections on the trestle and Guenette said the company is confident the structure is secure.

“The whole issue was the truck was on a part of the trestle where you’re not supposed to have that load,” he said.

“It was on the passenger walkway which is not reinforced as much

as the road way.”

Containment booms were placed in the water around the truck and workers on a barge removed debris from the crash including broken railings and trestle timbers.

Guenette said Transport Canada, the Transportation Safety Board, Ministry of the Environment, WorkSafeBC and Fisheries and Oceans Canada had been contacted regarding the incident.

“Once we can access how and when to start moving the truck we will be ready for any environmental analysis and cleanup,” he said. news@nanaimobulletin.com

If you are a principal, teacher or parent and would like to book a presentation for your classroom, call

on wireless providers,” said Choma. “Examples include collecting the tax from prepaid customers who don’t get a monthly bill ... another issue is households that have at least one land line and, like in my case, four cellphones.

You’d be paying that tax five times a month.”

Choma added that the appeal of cellphones is their mobility, so they aren’t tied to a municipal address. He said it would be virtually impossible for wireless companies to have billing mechanisms for each individual municipality in B.C. or across Canada.

Smart meters a dumb move, residents say B.C. Hydro says health concerns over radiation from wireless units nothing for public to worry about

BY TOBY GORMAN THE NEWS BULLETIN

Worries over potential health effects from wireless smart meters prompted residents to ask Nanaimo council to intervene in the program until the perceived radiation problems can be addressed.

B.C. Hydro is spending more than $900 million to install wireless smart meters in B.C. homes to replace existing analog meters.

The utility already began the installations.

B.C. Hydro says the move is a conservation effort so customers will be able to see their usage and adjust their electricity consumption accordingly.

“Here in B.C. we’re one of the largest consumers of electricity in the world and this device can help address that consumption,” said B.C. Hydro spokesman Ted Olynyk.

But Nanaimo resident Barbara Ann Scott, a member of Citizens For Safe Technology, is calling for health concerns to be addressed before B.C. residents are forced to accept the new technology into their homes.

Scott claims microwave radiation emitted by the meters will have severe health effects on three to five per cent of the population who suffer from electrohypersensitivity, while an additional 35 per cent of the population would be less severely affected.

“Smart meters would cause severe suffering for many in our community,” she said.

“Under the provincial charter, local government has the responsibility to protect its residents’ health and security.”

The City of Colwood prepared a resolution to be put forward at the September meeting of the Union of B.C. Municipalities. Coun.

Loyd Sherry said council will look into the matter further before committing to any action.

Scott also asked council to fulfill its responsibilities under the Public Health Act and advise the Minister of Health of the perceived dangers associated with smart meters, as well as ask for a moratorium on the mandatory installation of the wireless technology.

Olynyk discounted health issues relating to radiation, stating that it is radio waves that are emitted, not microwaves, and that it would take 20 years of exposure to a smart meter to equal a halfhour of active exposure to a cellphone.

B.C. Hydro has started installing wireless smart meters across the province.

“And that’s only if you were standing right next to the meter every time it sent a signal, which is four to six times a day totalling about one minute,” said Olynyk, noting that there were no less than eight sources of Wi-Fi in council chambers Monday night during the council meeting.

“Smart meter exposure is well within current standards.”

Nanaimo Cowichan NDP MLA Doug Routley said citizens across the province are being forced to take up their concerns with local government because there is no avenue to discuss the issue at the provincial level.

“The British Columbia Utilities Commission does not have oversight over smart meters which is why the discussion will never reach the floor of the provincial legilsature,” said Routley.

“That’s why residents are being driven to the extent of addressing local councils to do what they can to express their concerns. This is part of the dysfunction that is causing councils to

uptake these provincial issues.”

Routley also noted that in Sweden, the radiation in question is recognized as a workplace disability and that the cost-effectiveness of the program in relation to the “dubious claims” on conservation is questionable.

Scott said that smart meters present other problems.

“Everywhere they are in use the same problems are encountered,” she said. “Issues with security, safety, invasion of privacy and health.”

Scott added that the World Health Organization recently listed radiation associated with smart meters as a class 2b carcinogen, or an agent that has the potential to cause longterm health effects.

Olynyk said that more than 250 million smart meters have been installed worldwide to update power grids and noted that coffee, cars, cellphones, TVs, GPS units, Chinese pickles and many other common items were also listed as class 2b carcinogens by WHO.

Tour de Rock riders tackle rehearsal ride

I

TEAM HEADS from Nanaimo to Duncan.

The Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock team will be on the road this Sunday (Aug. 14) for a “dress rehearsal” mock tour.

A fully escorted training ride with support crew, police cars and motorcycles, the entire 2011 team will pedal its way on the Island Highway from Nanaimo to Duncan and back.

Leaving from Nanaimo North Town Centre at 10 a.m., the team will take about two hours to reach Duncan.

Riders will stop for lunch and a meet and greet then depart for the trip back to Nanaimo at 1:15 p.m.

Training rides are becoming longer and more challenging as the team edges closer to the beginning of the tour.

Three weeks ago team members rode nearly 20 kilometres uphill to Mount Washington in the Comox Valley.

Next Sunday, Aug. 21, the team will do a long-distance ride, between 150 and 160 kilometres around the Saanich Peninsula.

The 2011 Tour de Rock Team is comprised of police officers from CFB Esquimalt, Comox, Nanaimo, Campbell River, Oceanside, Port Alberni and Westshore RCMP detachments and Saanich, Victoria and Oak Bay municipal police departments. The team is complimented by three media riders from A News, KOOL FM and News Bulletin photographer Chris Bush.

More information on the 2011 Tour de Rock team members is available on their Facebook fan pages or make a donation to support them individually at www.copsforcancerbc. ca.

CHRIS BUSH/THE NEWS BULLETIN

Harvest time Cpl. Jake Ryan, of Nanaimo RCMP’s First Nation Policing Unit, inspects a marijuana plant at an outdoor grow operation discovered on Snuneymuxw First Nation land in Cedar. Police were alerted to the site in June when two non-First Nations men were spotted going to and from the plot of land, about the size of a city lot, located off Gordon Road in a remote, swampy area of the reserve. Police estimated 90 plants were being cultivated. The plants were destroyed Wednesday after no suspects attended the site during more than a month of surveillance.

Regional district approves new OCP

New development brings townhomes A new development featuring 13 unique multifamily townhouses received variance approval Monday.

The variances were for height relaxations of no greater than 1.96 metres.

Located on Ocean Pearl Terrace between Barrington and Rock City roads, the project by Hazelwood Holdings Ltd. will feature contemporary West Coaststyle structures built to blend into the steep site terrain in order to provide limited disturbance of the site.

Phase 1 of the three-phase project has already begun.

Non-profit group adds new programs for after school

city scene

Rural residents in Cassidy, Cedar and Yellow Point and South Wellington have a new plan guiding their communities.

The Regional District of Nanaimo board of directors approved the new Electoral Area A Official Community Plan last month.

The plan aims to protect the rural character of the region and addresses topics related to economic, environmental, and social sustainability, said area director Joe Burnett.

The document also supports limits to growth in rural areas, recognizes the desire of residents to support agriculture and local food production, and emphasizes the importance of groundwater protection, he said.

Work on updating the Area A OCP was a three-year process.

Residents, business and property owners, members of the volunteer Electoral Area A Citizens’ Committee and other stakeholders developed a community vision and drafted sustainability principles, goals, objectives and policies.

Island rider David Cox, from Colwood, is riding to raise money for the MS Society of Canada. He stopped briefly in Nanaimo last Friday afternoon on his round trip from Colwood to Port Hardy before he participates in the MS south Vancouver Island chapter’s annual Cowichan Valley Grape Escape bike tour this weekend (Aug. 13-14). People can donate at www.mssociety.ca.

Sixty children with neuro-developmental disorders have the chance to participate in new after-school programs provided by Nanaimo Unique Kids Organization.

Starting in September, the nonprofit group, which already runs a day program for 20 students, will offer 12 different after-school programs, including a support group for siblings of a child with developmental disabilities.

“It’s just another way we can support these families,” said manager Teresa Nielsen. “We have room to host 20 students [in our day program] and we have a huge wait list.

We anticipate [the outreach programs are] going to fill fast.”

The programs will be run out of NUKO’s farmhouse off Biggs Road, where the group moved last fall.

The organization has provided educational programs for children with neuro-developmental disorders since 2005, when several families got together to discuss what could be done to better meet the needs of their children, who were not thriving in a traditional classroom environment.

Included in the new after-school programs offered this fall are home-

work clubs, a Friday night youth group, clubs for boys and girls of different ages, art, fitness and sports programs, and a cooking class.

The programs are included in Nanaimo Parks, Recreation and Culture’s fall activity guide.

Nielsen said NUKO staff and board members decided to expand services as a way to reach more families.

There are about 15 students on a wait list for the day program.

The programs enable children to interact with others facing similar challenges and what Nielsen hears from many families is that their children struggle to feel accepted in the public school system.

“What we hear from a lot of parents when their children come to NUKO is that they finally have a sense of belonging,” said Nielsen.

“It’s just that feeling of acceptance.

It’s so huge with the kids.”

As for the sibling support group, she said sometimes children with brothers or sisters with developmental challenges need to talk about what it’s like growing up with a special needs sibling and interact with others in the same situation.

Province’s plan to appoint municipal auditor ruffles feathers

BY TOM FLETCHER BLACK PRESS

The B.C. government’s plan to appoint a municipal auditor-general has raised concerns in local government circles, but the minister responsible says it won’t mean the province is going to start telling local councils how to tax and spend money.

Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Ida Chong met with the executive of the Union of B.C. Municipalities in late July to discuss the plan.

According to a summary sent by the UBCM to its member councils, the UBCM executive complained about the lack of consultation and asked Chong if local councils’ policy decisions would be exempt from

a municipal auditor’s authority, as they are in other jurisdictions.

B.C.’s municipal auditor won’t overrule local governments, but “performance audits” would highlight areas where communities can save money, Chong said Wednesday.

The service will benefit the 160 local governments in B.C., especially the smaller ones that “don’t

have the capacity to do value-formoney audits or performance audits,” she said.

The province took similar steps to oversee school districts, imposing common payroll and personnel systems on boards of education and appointing superintendents of achievement to monitor efforts to raise student performance. editor@nanaimobulletin.com

EDITORIAL

Smart meters make sense B.C. Hydro’s plan to implement smart meters across the province will help customers understand their power usage and identify ways to conserve energy.

It’s a positive move for environmental proponents, as reduced need for energy results in fewer dams and hydroelectric plants scarring our pristine landscape.

Not to mention the money saved by individual customers on their energy bills.

Yet smart meters are REDUCING facing a backlash from the community, with Nanaimo POWER residents asking city council use a key to help stop the meters benefit of the over worries about negative new initiative health effects associated with radiation emitted from across B.C. the wireless devices.

In reality, the devices are a class 2b carcinogen, according to the World Health Organization, in the same class as cellphones, cars, televisions and Chinese pickles as cancer-causing agents. A 30-minute cellphone conversation emits the same radiation as a smart meter does in a year.

Only a handful of people in Canada are currently on disability support for electrosensitivity, a disorder caused by radiation emitted from electronic and wireless devices.

But if people have a legitimate health reason – with support from their doctor – they should be able to opt out of wireless smart meter installation, using a hardwired meter or the current analog meter.

Opting out wouldn’t be available to many people, or those who simply don’t want them, but it would provide support for people with a legitimate health concern.

The rest of the population will benefit from the knowledge of their individual energy consumption and be able to take steps to reduce their use.

That’s something that will benefit all users of electricity in the province.

To my limited economic understanding, that’s unsustainable – a system set up to fail. And perhaps we’re living through that failure right now.

Nothing can expand forever. Yet that’s what our economy relies on to continue providing jobs and government revenue and corporate profits.

And the need for ever-increasing growth in profits breeds the kind of greed and poor economic policy that brought about our 2008 collapse.

The planet is perhaps our best teacher on this subject. Mother Nature offers countless simple lessons on sustainable growth.

Plants and animals and pretty much every natural ecosystem offer clear evidence.

Yet we’ve been failing to heed nature’s lessons and warnings, perhaps since the dawn of man.

Perpetual growth eventually results in failure, explosion, imposion.

Despite all the recent shakeups in our planet’s various natural systems, mankind’s commitment to a doomed system means it will implode long before our world. editor@nanaimobulletin.com

HST referendum pointless To the Editor, Re: HST decision a waiting game, Opinion, Aug. 9.

Who did their best to muddy the facts ? Did you listen and watch the radio and TV advertisements?

I quote, “If you want to return to paying 12 per cent PST plus GST vote no”.

I ask, when in B.C.’s history did we pay 12 per cent PST plus GST? And this was supposed to be the neutral camp.

As for the working of the question, why was it made deliberately complex?

Since when do we vote with a positive response to accomplish a negative action?

That brings us to the

question: why do we need a referendum anyway?

The HST was brought in with a backroom deal between two B.C. politicians and the federal government.

When the taxpaying public raised a fuss, B.C. government had three options: ◆ ignore the fuss and hope it would go away. It was very clear very early that was not going to happen. The ultimate result would have been political suicide in the next provincial election. ◆ Send it to the legislature and have a public-scrutinized debate and recorded vote. The ultimate result would have been the same as above.

◆ Send the HST issue to referendum and abandon their responsibility for which they were elected and collect their paycheques.

Never in B.C.’s history have we had such an impotent government in power that will not make tax-legislation decisions.

Regardless of the results of the referendum, the Liberals will smugly announce that the public made the decision, and here are the consequences.

At that point they will create legislation to fit the circumstance – something they should have done in the first place.

Charlie D. Anderson Nanaimo

Realistic limits on burning fossil fuels necessary To the Editor, Air is 78 per cent nitrogen, 21 per cent oxygen and 0.9 per cent argon. Gasoline is 87 per cent carbon and 13 per cent hydrogen.

When you burn gasoline, you chemically bind that carbon with oxygen pulled into your engine, creating CO2. That is why one gallon of gasoline weighing six pounds, once combusted, produces 19.4 pounds of tailpipe CO2; diesel produces 22.2 pounds.

The sane world has come to understand that 800 billion tons (and growing) of excess anthropogenic atmospheric CO2 is contributing significantly to climate change, but we are just starting to understand a lot of that CO2 is also dissolving into the oceans.

This thermo/chemical reaction is increasing the oceanic hydrogen ion concentration, which is decreasing the ocean’s PH, resulting in ocean acidity increases. The economic and ecological consequences will likely be dire.

I recognize we must burn fossil fuels to function, but I also know we must, and can, limit how much we burn.

I thought back to what changed my attitude about owning my truck. I started from a position of blissful ignorance, shifted to a short phase of rationalizing excuses, then knowledge won over perceived

entitlement and gone was my V8 CO2 belcher in favour of a small fuel-efficient car.

In his book Essays, Renaissance humanist Michel de Montaigne wrote: “Our great and glorious masterpiece is to live appropriately. All other things, ruling, hording, building, are only little appendages and props, at most.”

Fiscal recklessness won’t be rewarded To the Editor, Re: School reno projects on district radar, Aug.1.

As far as I know, the reno projects were never off the school board’s radar.

To suggest that this government’s Ministry of Education is about to send any substantial facilities money this way however, is misleading.

I must give credit to trustees for trying to keep the ministry aware of the deplorable conditions of our schools, but after throwing away a sound plan worth about $87 million three years ago, we still do not have a better alternative.

That plan had Woodlands, NDSS, Hammond Bay Elementary, Davis Road and more, now we go begging with hat in hand never to be taken seriously.

Our schools are not full and

it is going to take full schools to get new funding that comes anywhere close to the last approved plan.

If the board of trustees continues to refuse to close schools or somehow increase enrolment by several thousand before September, it is little wonder that the B.C. government will not reward this kind of fiscal recklessness.

Solid vs Engineered Wood Flooring Myth: Solid wood floors are of higher quality.

Reality: Engineered flooring can have an equivalent or near-equivalent wear surface to solid flooring for subsequent re-sanding, as so-called 3/4” solid wood has only about 1/4” (6 mm) of wood above the tongue and groove. Because it is more stable and does not have to acclimate on the job-site prior to installation, the tongue-and-groove fit on engineered flooring can be milled so exactly that the product can be “floated,” while solid flooring generally must be nailed down.

Finally, engineered flooring can be cost-effectively made from veneer-quality wood, the highest quality wood available.

Low pay, lack of work adding to homeless To the Editor, Re: Several hundred ‘hidden homeless’ surf city couches, Aug. 9.

Perhaps one of the contributing causes of homelessness/ couch surfers is that there is very little work available in Nanaimo. Also, most big companies now hire staff on a parttime basis only at low pay.

I don’t know if there’s a solution to this, but it certainly impacts many people in our community.

I also don’t know if these companies hire only part-time staff at low wages because they can’t afford to do otherwise, or whether they are very profit driven and don’t care about their staff. I hope it isn’t the latter.

Why waxing and electrolysis as well as THREE lasers?

Because different hair and skin types need different lasers.

Because lasers are like lawnmowers for removing hair: fast but leave ssome â&#x20AC;&#x153;weedsâ&#x20AC;? behind for electrolysis or waxing to sort out.

Also, lasers do not work well on white, ďŹ ne or lighter hairs, so though the lasers remove the darker hairs, the other treatments are still needed.

Nanaimo News Bulletin

Youngsters test fishing skills at 25th annual bullhead derby For 24 years children have been fishing off the shore and docks of the Brechin Boat Ramp for a chance to catch the biggest, smallest and ugliest bullhead.

But even if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come up a winner, there is always plenty of things to do at the Kiwanis Sunrisers Bullhead Derby.

The 25th annual derby takes place Sunday (Aug. 14) from 10 a.m. to noon at the boat ramp for children ages two to 12 years old.

All children must be accompanied by an adult and derby participants must wear a life-jacket. Some fishing rods and life-jackets will be available and organizers will supply bait for the hooks.

Prizes and trophies are awarded for the longest, shortest and ugliest bullheads, plus there will be entry-

number prizes given out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a special event for the kids.

Many come back year after year once theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had the chance to enjoy it,â&#x20AC;? said Sue Carlson, Sunrisers secretary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You see them lying on their tummies on the dock exploring whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the bottom of the ocean and they all have a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;look at thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; expression on their faces.â&#x20AC;?

Each participant receives a free hotdog and soft drink and hotdogs will be for sale during the derby.

Kiwanis Sunrisersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mandate is to help children and seniors and Carlson said the derby meets that goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not every child in a city has the opportunity to go fishing,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This exposes them to the sport and they might even win a fishing rod.â&#x20AC;?

One of these things is not like the other.

Riding for a cause Kristen Douglas Black Press

A

fter losing his mom to cancer at the age of 16, Campbell River’s Shawn Hall knew he wanted to do something to help others fight the disease.

When the opportunity to ride in the Canadian Cancer Society’s Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock came along, he jumped at the chance.

“I’ve always wanted to do something for a worthy cause, especially Special cancer,” said feature Hall, a firefighter and an auxiliary Black Press police officer newspapers on with the Vancouver Island Campbell River will publish this RCMP. “It’s special feature something I don’t page spotlighting wish on any kid. police officers I saw the tour as taking part an opportunity in this year’s to help.”

Canadian Cancer Although Society his cycling Cops for Cancer experience was Tour de Rock. limited, Hall said other police officers recognized the tour as something he would enjoy and be successful at.

“Working up at the detachment, a couple of officers said, ‘Hey Shawn, you’d be good at that,’” Hall said. “It was definitely something I wanted to do, but I didn’t know if I was in good enough shape. I wasn’t too sure.”

Before signing up for the tour, Hall occasionally would take his road bike for a spin, but nothing too serious. He has, however, cycled competitively on two different occasions.

Twice he took part in the Comox Valley’s Royal LePage Snow to Surf Adventure Relay which combines skiing, running,

Campbell River firefighter and auxiliary RCMP officer Shawn Hall will ride the length of Vancouver Island in the Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock to raise money for pediatric cancer research. mountain biking, kayaking, road cycling and canoeing.

To gear up for the much longer, 1,000-kilometre Tour de Rock, which takes cyclists from one end of the Island to the other, Hall has been cycling three days a week.

He and a team of police

officers and media personalities who represent the north half of the Island, ride together to build up their strength and endurance.

On Tuesdays the group focuses on hill riding, typically 30 to 40 kilometres at a time, while Thursday night is reserved

for practising speed, again usually a 30- to 40-kilometre ride.

Sundays are when the group does a more relaxing, but longer ride. Those trips tend to be around 100 kilometres.

As the northern most member of the team, Hall typically has to drive down to either the Comox Valley, Parksville or Nanaimo for each ride.

“It’s a lot of travel, definitely the whole summer it’s been a big commitment between training and fundraising, but it’s a good cause,” Hall said.

So far, fundraisers have included a golf tournament at Storey’s Creek, bagging groceries at Thrifty Foods and cycling for about an hour on a stationary bicycle during Canada Day festivities.

Hall plans to hold a few car washes and barbecues later this summer, as well as a possible wine tasting in the fall.

The highlight of the journey so far for Hall was a recent trip to Camp Goodtimes on the Lower Mainland, a week-long summer camp for kids and teens battling cancer and their families.

“We hung out with the kids and did a casino night with them,” Hall said. “We each took a game station and the kids went through and used fake money and they had a great time. We even had a pay-itforward booth where the kids could donate the money they had won to a charity.”

Hall said thinking of those kids, and others who are battling cancer, will be what helps him push through the gruelling 14-day ride this fall.

“It’s a long time to be on a bike, but then it’s not so bad when you think of why you’re riding and you just push through the pain because you know there’s kids going through worse than you.”

active life Class sparks dance passion TEACHER HELPS students discover joy of dancing.

BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN

H

aving a baby five months ago hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t slowed down dance instructor Sara Raymond one step.

Instead, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inspired her to create a new class focusing on mothers dancing with their tiny tots.

This fall sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offering Latin Beat for Tiny Feet, through Nanaimo parks, recreation and culture.

Mothers can bring their child in a baby carrier and learn some dance steps, have fun and get in shape.

Raymond stayed in shape during her pregnancy by continuing to teach. She danced up to two weeks before giving birth to her daughter, Maira Garcia.

Latin Beat isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only dance course Raymond is offering this fall. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teaching a variety of classes for children, adults and couples.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s danced since she was seven years old. It was a parks, recreation and culture course that sparked her interest in the art form that has become her career. Now 24, she teaches courses through the city and leads workshops and lessons privately.

RACHEL STERN/THE NEWS BULLETIN

Sara Raymond is offering a variety of dance classes this fall for children and adults through parks, recreation and culture.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a passion really.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just something that I was meant to do,â&#x20AC;? said Raymond. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun, social and it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even feel like work. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awesome. I love it.â&#x20AC;?

Raymond loves meeting new people and helping them discover the joys of

dancing. She said some people might believe they have two left feet, but at the end of eight weeks most participants are surprised by their progress.

Her childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classes include Twinkle Toes, for ages two to five, and Latin dance that combines ballet,

hip hop and jazz styles.

Adult classes include womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Latin dance, contemporary line dancing, West Coast swing and more.

The womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Latin dance allows people to learn styles without a partner.

She said participants can join with their friends, have a good time and learn some basic rhythms people have seen on popular TV dancing programs.

Contemporary line dancing may provoke images of cowboy hats and boots, but Raymondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s class combines different styles including Latin and hip hop. She changes the styles weekly and also offers a womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s line dance course.

West Coast swing allows people to strut their stuff to Top 40 hits by teaching them jazz and hip hop moves. And Hip Hop Heels lives up to its name with funky contemporary moves for women. The Latin dance class features a different style each week from the cha cha and merengue to the salsa.

Raymondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classes cater to all dance levels from beginners to advanced and she modifies the moves allowing people to do the easy version or harder variations to keep it challenging for everyone.

Smoking-ban survey gives residents a say

BY HANNAH KING

In June, council directed staff to launch a public input process to gauge support for a smoking ban bylaw within all properties managed by the City of Nanaimo.

If implemented, the scope of this bylaw could include all city-managed parks, plazas, trails, playgrounds, sports fields and beaches.

It is understood that designated smoking areas may be needed to accommodate public and private rental events at facilities such as Beban Park Social Centre and arenas.

The idea of a bylaw of this kind was put forward by council and supported by the Parks, Recreation and Culture Commission.

A survey is available through the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website www.nanaimo.ca and at the front counters of city recreation centres. The survey will be available until Sept. 2 and results will be presented to the Parks, Recreation and Culture Commission.

The commission will then decide whether or not to recommend council move ahead with the creation of a smoking ban bylaw. If supported by council, the bylaw could take effect as early as this fall.

As of the end of July, just over 400 people had completed the survey. At this point the concept of the bylaw is drawing support by 74.9 per cent.

Almost all of the respondents (93.4 per cent) support the idea of banning smoking in playground areas though there is some concern being expressed on how the bylaw, if passed, would be enforced.

If adopted, the implementation process of the bylaw will include a public awareness phase which would focus on communicating the existence of the new policy to the public.

In the cases of non-compliant visitors, they will be addressed by bylaw officers if necessary.

If you have questions about the survey, please contact 250-756-5200.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to share your input on this important issue. â&#x2014;&#x2020; Hannah King is a marketing and communication specialist with Nanaimo parks, recreation and culture.

Nanaimo News Bulletin Saturday, August 13, 2011

Alzheimer support offers hope A place to find a sense of hope.

That, in a nutshell, is what Nanaimo residents can find by attending the free information and support groups offered by the nonprofit Alzheimer Society of B.C. “It’s a place to exchange information, support and find friendship with others whose lives are affected by dementia,” said Jane Hope, the Society’s support and education coordinator for Nanaimo and area.

Participants learn about dementia, its progression and the impact it may have on individuals and families. They also learn practi-

cal coping strategies, encouraging caregivers to actively engage in protecting and maintaining their physical and emotional health.

The meetings offer the chance to regain some control in the face of a disease that cannot be controlled, said Hope.

For more information on meeting times and locations, please contact Hope at 1-800-462-2833 or e-mail jhope@alzheimerbc.org The Alzheimer Society of B.C. is dedicated to helping people concerned with or facing dementia.

For more information, please visit www.alzheimerbc.org.

Boomers back in business I MANY OF the country’s newest retirees are expected to launch their own company after age 65.

Canadian baby boomers will be making the most of their down time, with millions expected to launch ‘semi-retirement’ businesses as their careers wind down.

A BMO Retirement Institute report found that more than half (52 per cent) of boomers surveyed are drawn to entrepreneurial activity because they like the idea of working for themselves, while only 11 per cent cited job loss as the reason for launching a new company.

The most commonly cited source for funding for boomers looking to start a business is a withdrawal from personal savings, fol-

lowed by taking out a loan.

“For an increasing number of Canadians, retirement isn’t about a definitive shift from work to leisure,” said Tina Di Vito of BMO Retirement Institute.

“Rather, it’s more of an extended transition that involves a combination of both.”

This ‘boomerpreneur’ trend, where Canadians on the cusp of retirement are looking to realize their self-employment dreams, is expected to grow as boomers start to retire in greater numbers over the next few years.

However, those considering it should understand that entrepreneurship involves

an enormous financial commitment that is best managed with the assistance of an experienced financial professional.

This year, the first of the boomers turn 65 and became eligible for retirement.

As Canadians start to retire in greater numbers, the ‘boomerpreneur’ phenomenon could lead to Canada experiencing a surge of new businesses that, planned and managed prudently, should provide a positive economic boost in the long-term. Conversely, the lack of sufficient preparation could have an overall negative effect on the economy and the business owner.

Di Vito offers the following advice: Do your research – Take advantage of your resources to learn all you need to know

to set up your company. This includes gaining industry insight, arranging a new phone number, deciding whether or not to incorporate the business and looking into the potential tax implications.

Consider the pros and cons – Think carefully about why you want to start your own business. Being your own boss can offer some flexibility.

However, other sacrifices, such as longer hours and a possible decrease in cash flow may be necessary to ensure your success.

Develop a plan – Stress-test your idea and research your marketplace, including what products and services you will be offering, their appropriate price points, who your potential customers are and what your sales targets will need to be to cover your costs. Keep your end goal in mind as you build your company and maintain a positive, yet realistic, outlook as you progress.

Seek outside advice – Speak to an accountant and a small business banker. Financial specialists can provide insight into setting up your company, market competition, personal and business capital and how it may change over time.

Medical coverage key to travel With fall just around the corner, many snowbirds are itching to finalize their travel plans to warmer climes.

If you count yourself among them, make sure you’ve made all the necessary arrangements before heading south.

A to-do list includes everything from informing a friend or family member about your plans and providing them with photocopies of your travel and personal documents, to obtaining adequate medical insurance.

While most people know that medical insurance is important, many are not aware that it is now a prerequisite for entering Cuba.

“Since May 1, 2010, Cuban authorities require visitors to provide proof that they can cover their own medical costs,” said François Morel, a sales consultant at Desjardins Financial Security. “Subsequently, the Cuba Tourist Board advised that Canadians could pres-

ent their provincial health insurance cards as proof of medical insurance. But, supplemental travel insurance is necessary because the provincial health insurance plans only offer minimum medical coverage abroad.”

Claire’s Home Care Services A Business Making a Difference

CHRIS HAMLYN/THE NEWS BULLETIN

Summer a tough workout season As the days start to get shorter and routines get busier, some people are realizing the summer season may have thrown off their health and fitness regimes.

“We deserve to treat our bodies properly with nutritious food, proper supplementation and an exercise program that will help us reach our own personal health and fitness goals,” said Miryah Scott, Canada’s two-time World Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation champion.

Here are two easy tips to help you get back into shape and back on track for the busy fall season: Healthy snacking While it’s not always easy to get all the nutrients you need from your meals, a nutritious drink can

help. Choose a low-calorie beverage that contains no fat or sugar, has protein to boost energy, fibre to keep you feeling fuller longer, electrolytes to help hydrate and an assortment of vitamins.

Also consider packing a piece of fruit or some nuts each day for a quick and easy snack that can help tide you over until mealtime.

Variety in your exercises One of Scott’s personal fitness tips is to add some variety to your exercises. This can challenge your body in new ways, prevent boredom with your fitness routine and make working out fun. It could be as simple as taking a new exercise class or adding a new playlist to your iPod. News Canada

JUNIOR FOOTBALL team plays Kamloops today (Aug. 13).

Nanaimo golfer B.C.’s runner-up It took the low round of the tournament to keep Nanaimo’s Tony Hatchwell from winning B.C. Golf’s senior men’s championship.

Port Moody’s Gudmund Lindbjerg shot a three-under-par 69 in Thursday’s final round to eke out a one-stroke victory over Hatchwell at the Squamish Valley Golf Club.

The Nanaimo golfer carded a 71 on Wednesday to climb to second place, then followed that up with a 72 in the final round.

Lindbjerg has now won four straight B.C. senior men’s championships.

Hatchwell was the champion in 2006.

BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

The shine of the V.I. Raiders’ last game has finally worn off, because a shiny new game day has arrived.

Today (Aug. 13) the Raiders (2-0) play their home opener against the Kamloops Broncos (1-1). Nanaimo’s Canadian Junior Football League team is coming off one of its most satisfying regular-season wins ever, a 72-6 thrashing of the Victoria Rebels, but they’ll have to put that behind them.

“We reset, get focused for the next week,” said Glenn Boyce, Raiders linebacker. “We’re not trying to get too high on ourselves, we’re just trying to work day by day.”

Receiver Whitman Tomusiak said “it’s definitely tougher” to refocus on the next game after a dominant performance.

“That’s the challenge this week,” he said. “We’ve got to make sure we don’t relax. We’ve still got to keep the tempo up like it was last week, keep getting better.”

It helps that the Raiders have a little extra to play for this week – it’s their home opener, so players want to make an impression on fans at Caledonia Park.

B l o k ke r s a i d h e t h i n k s

Nanaimo sports fans appreciate hard-working teams and he believes this year’s Raiders fall into that category.

And of course the V.I. team has the ability to get fans out of their seats.

“We’re a fast team. Defensively we’re flying, and offensively,

through the mix, we can do almost everything. We’ve got possession guys and big-play guys,” said the coach.

While the Raiders like to entertain, their No. 1 goal today will be picking up a win in the standings against the Broncos. ◆ See ‘WIN’ /27

Nanaimo r unner Madison Heisterman celebrates her silver medal in Hershey, Pa.

One of Nanaimo’s fastest kids made it to the international stage, and kept on running.

Eleven-year-old Madison Heisterman represented B.C. this past weekend at the Hershey’s Track and Field Games in Hershey, Pa., winning a silver medal in the 800-metre race.

The four-day event brought together 450 qualifiers from all over North America, whittled down from 250,000 competitors at regional tryouts.

It was a sweet deal for Heisterman – Hershey’s flew out the athletes for the weekend, where they got to tour the chocolate factory. The

Heisterman finished her 800m in a time of two minutes, 30.21 seconds, three seconds back of 12-year-old winner Camryn Steckel of London, Ont. The meet capped off a record-setting season for the Nanaimo Track and Field Club star – Heisterman set B.C. records in the 600m, 800m and 1,000m, set school district records in the 800m and 1,500m and won gold medals at provincials in the 600m and 1,000m.
