BY CHRIS BUSHTHE NEWS BULLETIN
A cyclist from Japan stopped by to say thanks and pay a second visit to his
hometown’s sister city.Ryo Ambe, 32, of
Saitama, Japan, Nanaimo’s sister city, was at Nanaimo city hall Monday to meet with Nanaimo Mayor John Ruttan and members of Central Vancouver Island Japanese-Canadian Soci-ety.
Ambe was on the final leg of a trip up the West Coast, from San Diego to Vancouver.
In 2011, Ambe cycled across Canada to thank Canadians for this coun-try’s relief efforts follow-ing the devastating earth-quake and tsunami that struck Japan in March of that year.
Ambe’s first visit to Nanaimo was especially meaningful, since it was his hometown’s sister city that raised more than $10,500 in relief funds through a local Red Cross campaign.
Since his 2011 tour, he spent a lot of time on the saddle of his modified Giant touring bike with tours across Taiwan and New Zealand.
Ambe said, through an interpreter, his most recent trip up the U.S. West Coast took two months and covered more than 3,000 kilometres.
On the way, he stopped to help with ongoing
beach cleanup efforts in Oregon and California where Japanese tsunami debris has been washing ashore.
Ambe’s visit to the may-or’s office was followed
up with a presentation to the Central Vancouver Island Japanese-Canadian Society members, hosted at Bistro Taiyo, where he shared stories about his journeys over the past
two years.Ironically, although
Ambe has travelled exten-sively, he has never lived anywhere other than his hometown of Saitama.

Cyclist thanks city for support during tsunami rebuilding Gratitude

THE NEWS BULLETIN
A group of Cedar parents are challeng-ing Nanaimo school district’s plan to close schools in that area and a petition orga-nized by the group is expected to go before the legislature today (July 18).
Save Cedar Schools formed about 10 days ago after about 150 community members met to discuss next steps following the school board’s deci-sion to move forward with several elements of its 10-year facilities plan, said spokesman Steve Rae.
The group is react-ing to the school board’s recent deci-sion to close Cedar Secondary School at the end of next year with secondary stu-dents going to John Barsby or Ladysmith, c l o s e Wo o d b a n k Primary and North Cedar Intermediate schools in June 2015, and reopen Cedar Secondary as an ele-mentary school in the 2015-16 school year. Trustees also voted to close South Wel-lington Elementary immediately.
Rae said parents
have collected more than 500 signatures on a petition that calls for Education Minis-ter Peter Fassbender to appoint a special advisor to the district to review the facilities plan, which Nanaimo-North Cowichan NDP MLA Doug Routley will take to the legis-lature today.
“There’s thousands of people in this com-munity who are very unhappy,” said Rae. “We understand that tough decisions need to be made. But the decision they made was a rushed judg-ment and it’s not the right thing to do.”
Parents have con-cerns about the plan to move secondary students out of the community, includ-ing bullying, trans-portation, ability to participate in extra-curricular activities, having the largest elementary school in the district and mov-ing students from the newest high school to an older one. Where the money to reno-vate Cedar Second-ary to accommodate elementary students is going to come from is also a concern, he said.

A new method to support stu-dents that Nanaimo school offi-cials tried this year got off to a rocky start, but it will continue next year.
Nanaimo school district’s new approach to helping struggling learners hinges on providing support to these students at an earlier stage – before they fail – by making teams of specialists available to teachers who request assistance in their classrooms.
The model, called response to intervention, includes three tiers of intervention – support for an entire class, a group of students or an individual student with signifi-cant needs in academic or behav-ioural development.
But a staff report presented at a recent board meeting acknowl-edges that not all district employ-ees are jumping on board with
the new model and this makes it difficult to move forward with the initiative, as it requires collabora-tion between all teachers, admin-istrators and support staff.
The report notes the district has been criticized for underestimat-ing the extent of this change and not providing educators with suf-ficient communication, direction or leadership, and there is skepti-cism about the ability of the spe-cialist teams to discuss a refer-ral when team members don’t know anything about the student referred.
But it also states that the imple-mentation of the model has been more widespread than senior staff thought possible in “year zero” and those who are embracing the model are happy with the results.
Mike Ball, president of the Nanaimo District Teachers’ Asso-ciation, said the model was imple-mented at the beginning of the year with no input from or consul-tation with teachers and the dis-trict brought it in first, then tried to explain it to people after it was already in place.
“I think the program has some merit, but do it properly,” he said.
“Apparently there was an imple-mentation committee and no one was aware of it.”
The union surveyed teachers in January and March to determine if the model is working and many members stated they were not involved at all in the rollout of response to intervention.
Ball said the second survey’s results showed that some people had started to find the model use-ful, but others felt that resources were centralized and taken away from the classroom.
“To be really fair, it needs another year to see if it’s going to function,” he said. “It can only improve from here, providing resources are available.”
Ball said one change that could make a big difference is making decisions closer to the school level rather than through the dis-trict-level teams.
Jamie Brennan, school board chairman, said the district needs to improve the referral process and ensure teachers see the ben-efits of the initiative.
“I guess they may see it as a threat to their current practice, but it certainly isn’t,” he said.

A group campaigning to de-criminalize marijuana posses-sion has been denied booth space at one of Nanaimo’s larg-est festivals.
Sensible B.C., a group led by marijuana activist Dana Larsen, proposes an amend-ment to the Police Act that would disallow police in B.C. to spend any time, money or resources on cases of simple possession of cannabis.
Elections B.C. has given approval in principal for the group to lead a petition drive and starting Sept. 9, Sensible B.C. will have 90 days to col-lect signatures from at least 10 per cent of registered provin-cial voters in each of the prov-ince’s 85 electoral districts to trigger a referendum, as was done to repeal the HST.
Larsen said the group booked a booth at the Nanaimo Marine Festival July 26-28 in Maffeo Sutton Park and the cheque was cashed, but then last week the group was told that it couldn’t have the booth after all and the money was returned.
“We think that’s kind of odd and unfair,” he said. “We were always clear about what we were doing. We’re at a lot of events this summer to drum up awareness.”
Bill McGuire, commodore with the Loyal Nanaimo Bath-tub Society, said organizers try to stay away from politics and religion as well as anything that could be controversial at the festival and the group’s mandate does not fit with what the festival is all about.
“We don’t try to say no to anything, but also we’re put-ting on an event that’s family-oriented and that has no place in our event,” he said. “We just felt that that one didn’t fit the bill.”
The society made a mistake in allowing the application ini-tially, McGuire added, and will look at how to prevent some-thing like this from happening again.

A sexual assault conviction netted a Nanaimo man seven months jail time and three years proba-tion.
Daniel Raymond Sasseville pleaded guilty in May to one count of sexual assault and was sen-tenced July 4.
The incident hap-pened Feb. 21 at about 11 a.m. when a 23-year-old univer-sity student walking along a foot path near the Rotary Bowl running track noticed a man standing over a bicycle.
According to the police report, he struck up a conver-sation with her as she passed by and began walking with her, then allegedly grabbed her buttocks and chest.
The woman fled and reported the incident to campus security and based on her description, police arrested a suspect less than an hour later.
Sassevi l le must abide by proba-tion conditions that include a daily cur-few of 9 p.m. to 7 a.m.; he must suc-cessfully complete a counselling program at the direction of his probation officer; he is not to be found on any unpaved walk-way within one kilo-metre of Westwood Lake or Vancouver Island University; he must notify his pro-bation officer if he develops a relation-ship with any female and provide her name and address; and he must have no contact with peo-ple he knows to be engaged in the sex trade.
Sexual assault conviction nets jail time
in a pinch
Koen Tooke, 2, seems to have no sense of his apparent predicament as he peers out from behind the pincers of a crab sculpture, by Nanaimo artist Dan Richie, while playing at Maffeo Sutton Park Wednesday. Children and their families were at the park finding plenty of things to see and do at the park’s playground and other waterfront attractions.

u From /1Saitama Prefecture was one of
the regions hit hard by the 2011 earthquake.
Ambe said he will have to settle down when he gets home to work for a while to finance future trips. He personally finances all his cycling tours by working various jobs – he worked in department stores, for an insurance company and even in a hospital, delivering medicine – to raise cash when he is at home. He believes pay-ing his own way keeps the focus
on his message of thanks and avoids him being viewed as a piece of rolling advertising for various sponsors.
Ambe has been staying at the Painted Turtle Guesthouse and left Nanaimo this morning (July 18) for a visit to Victoria before returning to Japan.
Ambe has recored his travels, which he has posted on his online diary that can be viewed by visiting http://transconti-nentaldiary.blogspot.ca/p/west-coastusacanada2013.html.

u From /1“It will have a dev-
astating impact on our community as a whole,” said Rae.
Routley said he will submit the petition and deliver a state-ment to the legisla-ture asking govern-ment to recognize the impact school closures will have on the community and to step up and provide additional resources, including a special advisor, to allow for more consultation to come up with a plan that better answers the priorities of con-stituents.
“ [ C o n s t i t u e n t s ] are telling me, with-out exception, that this plan does not suit what they have told the district,” he said. “This is a prime example of where the circumstances are unique. It’s unreason-able to bus kids for an hour or two hours to another community.”
Joining the Save Cedar Schools coali-tion to challenge the school closure plans is Snuneymuxw First Nation.
Chief Douglas White III said Snuneymuxw is seeking time to reconsider and talk about the decision.
He said it will be looking into all ave-nues to challenge the district’s decision.
Jamie Brennan, school board chair-man, said the board is determined to move forward with the Cedar element of the facilities plan.
“It’s a key compo-nent because of our ability to do it with-out needing assis-tance from the pro-vincial government,” he said, adding that money from the dis-trict’s annual facilities grant could be used to do the renovations.
Brennan said con-solidating secondary students will allow students access to better support ser-vices, more extra-cur-ricular opportunities and increased course selections, and trust-ees will work with staff to provide trans-portation options that allow Cedar stu-dents to take advan-tage of extra-curricu-lar activities.
“If people want to continue to oppose it, they can do that,” he said.
“But this school board is moving for-ward.”

Lighting a backyard fire to sit around for an evening proved a little too toasty for a garden shed at a property on Townsite Road.
Firefighters arrived to find a shed fully engulfed in flames at about 2:30 a.m. Monday at 934 Townsite Rd.
“Two fellows had been out-side earlier with one of those backyard fire pits and they smoked and had mosquito incense burning,” said Ennis Mond, Nanaimo Fire Rescue fire prevention officer.
Mond said he was not sure whether it was smoking, the
mosquito coils or the fire pit that started the blaze, but the fire pit is the prime suspect. The pit had a metal cover that was not adequate to keep the wind from possibly blowing embers out of the pit and onto tinder in the yard or the shed itself, which was located less than three metres away from the fire. The fire pit was also not doused with water before the men turned in for the night.
“That’s what we’re suspect-ing at this time,” Mond said. “They’d gone to bed and then one of the guys woke up and
heard the crackling and snap-ping sound of something burning.”
The shed and its contents were destroyed. Shrubbery and fencing were also dam-aged by the fire, but there was no damage to the main house and no one was injured.
Because of dry summer con-ditions, there is currently a ban on all outdoor fires, other than small cooking fires, in Nanaimo.
“Somehow the message isn’t getting out to all the people,” Mond said.
Backyard fire suspected of igniting shed
Three men have been arrested and remain in cus-tody after a violent home invasion on the weekend.
The incident happened at a home in the 2000 block of East Wellington Road Sunday morning when three resi-dents were assaulted, tied up with duct tape and their home searched.
Police were called in at about 5 a.m. when the residents, who ranged in age from 18 to 49, called 911 and reported a number of men had broken into their home.
Mounties searched through-out the day for five suspects and managed to arrest three of the suspects at two sepa-rate locations.
Police also searched a home on Nicol Street at 5:30 a.m. Monday, but failed to make any further arrests.
The three suspects that were apprehended, two of them 22 years old and one of them 30, are known to police and were expected to appear in Nanaimo provincial court Monday.
Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman, said the incident was a tar-
geted home invasion and not random. Police believe they have identified the other sus-pects involved and warrants are being prepared for their arrests.
Multiple complaints lead to man’s arrest
Nanaimo Mounties arrested a man following complaints of shots fired on the week-end.
Police responded at the Frew Road area of Cedar shortly after 10 p.m. Friday when they received multiple complaints from residents about shots being fired in the area. One resident even said he could hear the sound of a shotgun’s action being cycled.
Officers and a police dog team searched the area and found a shotgun shell cas-ing. Police soon came upon a man they suspected of being involved with the shooting who ran off after ignoring repeated commands from the officers. A police dog and handler tracked and caught the suspect a short distance away. When police searched the suspect they found he had a knife and pepper spray.
The suspect was bitten on the arm by the police dog during the arrest and was taken to Nanaimo Regional General Hospital for treat-ment before he was released into police custody.
During a search of the area police also found a 12-gauge shotgun and spent shell cas-ings in the area plus an axe, which police believe was in the suspect’s possession
when the suspect – a 22-year-old Nanaimo man – was con-fronted by the officers.
Police continue their inves-tigation into the incident. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-877-222-8477 or online at www.crimestoppers.com.
Firearms surrendered during gun amnesty
Guns, rifles and pistols were turned over to Nanaimo RCMP during the recent B.C. Gun Amnesty Program, which aimed to get unwanted fire-arms safely disposed of and prevent them from possibly falling into the wrong hands.
During the amnesty period, June 1-30, people in Nanaimo had police pick up more than 140 firearms that included non-restricted rifles and shot-guns, 12 restricted handguns, 11 prohibited handguns and other firearms, five air guns that were actually exempt from firearm status and about 1,000 rounds of ammu-nition.
“The number is still going to go up a little because there are still some files in the queue,” said O’Brien.
Among the prohibited fire-arms were a .25-calibre Colt semi-automatic pistol and a .32-calibre Browning semi-automatic pistol.
Primary safety reasons for turning in unwanted firearms to the police are to prevent children from possibly find-ing and playing with them and to stop them from being stolen during home break-ins and falling into the hands of criminals.

What was supposed to be a quick outing to a back coun-try lake turned out to be an ordeal lasting several hours when a Ladysmith family found itself stranded behind a locked logging road gate on the weekend.
Misty Tovey, her three-year-old son and boyfriend thought it would be fun to go check out McKay Lake, located beyond the end of Spruston Road in the hills above Cassidy, Saturday afternoon, but their short outing ran into a snag when, not knowing the area, they missed the lake and drove through an open gate on a logging road.
“We’re new to the area and we’d heard about the lake up there, so we thought that afternoon we’d go and try and find it,” Tovey said. “We go through this open gate and we thought we must be getting close to the beach or whatever. Two or three min-utes up the road this truck passes by us, going the other way real slow and waving and smiling and we wave and smile and we acknowledge each other.
“We drive another two min-utes up the road and there’s this great big gate, so we turned around to drive back
and they’d locked us in.”Tovey said the other party
had been on the road cutting firewood. The driver knew they were there, but locked the gate behind him, block-ing them in.
Tovey, her son and boy-friend were a family in a mini-van, she was wearing a dress and it seemed unlikely, she said, that they could have been mistaken for another party out cutting firewood who would have had had a key for the gate.
The family tried to find another way out, but when that search proved fruitless and fearing they might run out of fuel, they parked the minivan by the locked gate.
Tovey said she is familiar with the bush and normally there should be a sign posted on or near a logging road gate warning of potential road closures after certain hours and phone numbers people can call for help if they do become stranded or want a woodcutting permit. She found nothing in the area.
Two men finally came by who took Tovey’s boyfriend to get his car, so the family could at least drive home. In the meantime she con-tacted another family mem-ber who managed to call two gate security people from Nanaimo Lakes who drove out and unlocked the gate.
“They were so nice to us and they had to drive 40 minutes from their house on a Saturday evening to let us out,” Tovey said.
All told, the family was
stranded behind the gate for more than four hours and an estimated 10 kilometres from the end of Spruston Road.
Tovey said she wants to warn people that this could happen to anyone who passes through a logging road gate.
TimberWest owns forest lands around McKay and Nanaimo Lakes and controls public access to them.
Sue Handel, TimberWest communications manager, would not speak to the par-ticular incident, but said TimberWest lands are private property and people going into those lands are trespass-ing if they do not have a com-pany permit to enter them.
“We are attentive to the issue because of the risk to public safety, vandalism, dumping and the liability to us that comes from people essentially trespassing on our lands,” Handel said. “We do remind people that in order to access it legally, we need to have some kind of agree-ment. It’s not even enter at
your own risk. It’s trespass if you don’t have prior permis-sion. There is no opportunity for access unless it’s co-ordi-nated through our office.”
TimberWest gets large num-bers of access requests from individuals, but the company prefers to deal with orga-nized groups or clubs that have insurance coverage for their members, which makes it easier for the company to communicate information about safety, closures and operational issues to the members through one con-tact person. The company strongly encourages people who want to access Timber-West lands to join one of those organized recreation groups or clubs.
Handel said contractors who drive in and out of a gate several times a day might leave it open, but an open gate is not an invitation to enter TimberWest property.
“They’ll leave a gate open if they’re in and out of it five times a day, but an open gate shouldn’t be construed as permission to access the area,” Handel said. “That’s it in a nutshell. Access is not permitted without permis-sion, particularly at this time of year when one our primary concerns is the risk of wild-fire. It’s just a bad time to be out there.”

Police have arrested one man and confiscated two pit bull terriers after the dogs were dragged behind a pickup truck.
Mounties responded at about 3 p.m. Friday after receiving a report a man had tied two pit bulls behind his pickup truck and was dragging them down Leask Road in Cedar.
“One was a puppy. The other was a mature dog,” said Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman. “The puppy couldn’t keep up, so it was dragged – ripped its paw, shoulder, so it was in shock. The mature dog was able to keep up with the vehicle and wasn’t injured.”
The incident was witnessed by at least three people and was first spot-ted by a motorist behind the truck who saw the animals being dragged and was frantically blowing his horn to get the truck’s driver to stop.
That caught the attention of a couple in their yard on Leask Road who ran to help and called the police.
They estimated the pickup was driv-ing at regular traffic speed for the area.
“The speed of traffic in that area is anywhere from 35 to 50 kilometres per hour,” O’Brien said.
The witness said the truck, which had turned on to Leask Road from Ivor Road, travelled at least 200 metres down Leask Road before it was stopped.
“By the time [one of the witnesses] got out there the puppy was out cold,” O’Brien said. “The [driver] just picked up the dog and threw it in the back of the pickup. The older dog was frantic and was in pretty bad shape as well. It could barely keep up with the truck.”
The puppy received significant bruis-ing to its torso, had raw patches on its legs and shoulders and required imme-diate hospitalization.
Upon examining the dogs, police arrested the 27-year-old suspect. He was released on condition he have no contact with animals and will appear in Nanaimo provincial court Sept. 3 to face a recommended charge of causing unnecessary suffering to an animal.
O’Brien said the dogs were treated by a local veterinary hospital and returned to their owners, who are the parents of the man accused of abusing the dogs, O’Brien said.
“The puppy will recover,” he said.

Members of the Royal Cana-dian Legion Branch 256 may soon be able to enjoy an alco-holic beverage on the legion’s outdoor patio.
Legion of f ic ials have applied to the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch for an outdoor licensed patio at its property at 1630 East Welling-ton Rd.
The matter went before
Nanaimo city council last week for support, which was given after a short presenta-tion from legion representa-tives.
Darwyn Henry, legion presi-dent, told council the group has a 46.5-square metre patio with cedar fencing and several picnic tables that it would like to have added onto the legion’s liquor licence.
He said the legion is not a heavy drinking establish-
ment, but officials want to give members the option of sitting out there with a glass of wine or other alcoholic beverage.
“A lot of us like to be out there in the fresh air,” he said.
The patio would be non-smoking, would be closed at 10 p.m. each evening and have an occupancy of about 50 people.
The patio is behind the legion and not visible from Quarterway Elementary
School, and of 65 comment sheets delivered to owners and occupants of the proper-ties within 100 metres of the legion, nine were returned, with six in favour and three opposed to the change.
Robert Chow, service offi-cer with the legion, assured council the area would be fully monitored and that the legion is not increasing the physical capabilities of its lounge.

For many, the solution to hearing difficulty is considered to be hearing aids - end of story. It is true that hearing aids are amazing at overcoming the limitations of poor hearing. However, communication challenges lie “deeper” than just the ears. The “biggest ear” is between the ears. Ultimately we hear with the brain. In light of this, a couple of points are important. One, hearing loss deprives the brain of sound input thus allowing the parts of the brain responsible to process that in-
formation to become weaker. Two, with properly fitted hear-ing aids, you can “work” to strengthen that part of the brain again. Notice the choice of the word "work". Similar to reha-bilitating after the replacement of a limb’s joint, so too is ef-fort needed to rehabilitate the listening capacity of the brain.
How does one work to rehabili-tate from a hearing loss? You can start with such things as: -Use closed captioned TV -Read and listen simultaneously to audio books -Read out loud to yourself for 20 minutes a day -Use a program such as LACE (Listening & Communication Enhancement) that is designed to exercise the listening function of
the brain. At Nanaimo Hearing Clinic we be-lieve that auditory rehabilitation is impor-tant. We encourage our clients not just to wear hearing aids, but to put the effort into strengthening their “biggest ear” (the brain) through the use of tools such as LACE. For further information about LACE go to www.nanaimohearingclinic.com and click on the LACE link or phone 250-585-4100 for a free demo.

Premier Christy Clark didn’t win a seat in time to join her 48 fellow B.C. Liberal MLAs in the legislature for the summer ses-sion she ordered up.
By the time the byelection in Westside-Kelowna is certified by Elections B.C., Clark will be off to Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont. to meet with her fellow premiers in what is now loftily called the Council of the Federation.
These gatherings used to be called First Ministers’ Confer-ences, and there was a set ritual, largely designed for the con-sumption of network television. Provincial premiers ganged up on the prime minister to demand federal “funding” for every conceivable need, just as municipal leaders get together each year to present their demands to the B.C. government.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper ended the show, declining to play the role of villain in this bit of political summer stock theatre, and it’s unlikely that any future national leader would reverse this prudent decision.
The result, at least among west-ern premiers, has been a quieter, more pragmatic effort to work together, rather than clumsy attempts to play a shell game with taxpayers’ pockets.
The public got tired of this rou-tine some time ago. I don’t need
a poll to tell me this is one of the reasons for the decline in voter participation and engagement. Today, politicians frequently remind themselves out loud that there is “only one taxpayer” sup-porting the squabbling layers of this over-governed country.
And yet, the same mistake keeps being made over and over by opposition politicians, and dutifully reported by the news
media. The notion that all problems can and should be solved by “more government funding” is now so ingrained in our edu-cation system that it seems inescapable.
One of the NDP’s big “gotcha” items last week was the failure of the B.C. government to buy the latest sonar technology to locate and recover the bod-
ies of people who have drowned in one of our thousands of lakes and rivers. As with the health-care system, as soon as some-thing is invented, some assume a right to it, regardless of cost.
Another big opposition target was the province’s failure to buy up remote properties in the Koo-tenays that have been discov-ered to be at high risk of further landslides such as the one that swept through a year ago.
The question of limits for pro-tecting people who choose to build homes in risky locations seldom comes up in our politi-
cal-media theatre. The media’s key ingredients are sympathetic victims to fit their narrative that all corporations and govern-ments are greedy, stingy, callous and incompetent.
What the opposition has dubbed “Christy Clark’s wheel-chair tax” is another case in point. A Fraser Health Authority official patiently explained what was really going on here.
An average $35 monthly rent for wheelchairs is charged at the majority of care facilities, which are contracted by the health authority. Operators charge as they see fit for maintenance, disinfection and replacement of this equipment, for patients who don’t own their own chairs.
In September, a $25 fee is to be extended to the few facilities still directly run by Fraser Health, which have aging equipment and no fees.
It would be useful for our politi-cians to frankly discuss the trend towards contracted health ser-vices, and the role of user fees in forcing people to take more responsibility for maintaining their own health.
But that is not what happens. The narrative of dumping frail, impoverished seniors from their wheelchairs has no relationship to reality, but it’s how post-mod-ern political theatre is done.

It’s that season in Nanaimo.In other parts of the world, people call
it summer. But in Nanaimo, it’s just as accurate to call the three to four months of warm weather festival season.
Earlier this year, the city celebrated multiculturalism with a festival in June, followed by dragon boat teams from all across Canada in early July.
Coming up Sunday is the annual Silly Boat Regatta, where teams build seaworthy vessels out of recycled material and race for bragging rights for the year.
The week after is Nanaimo’s signature summer event, the Marine Festival, with live music, activities and street fair, although it’s really about the Great International Championship Bathtub Race from Nanaimo Harbour to Departure Bay beach.
Count in the Vancouver Island Exhibition and Summertime Blues Festival in August, plus the Harvest Food Festival in September, and nearly every weekend in summer includes some form of local entertainment and activity.
Many of these events not only raise money – the dragon boat festival supports Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation, while the Silly Boat Regatta is the major fundraiser for Nanaimo Child Development Centre – they also raise awareness of other aspects of our community, from cultures to farming to art and music.
While it might be tempting to climb aboard B.C. Ferries for an escape, or hit the road in any direction, those tourist activities like sandy beaches, exotic culture and food, or exciting sports can be found right here in Nanaimo.
The Harbour City is situated on one of the most popular islands in the Pacific Ocean – people arrive by the thousands annually to vacation in the city we live year round.
It might be time to find out what all the fuss is about.

To the Editor,Our government is making
us sick.Between the hot water
extraction of oil sands, water fracturing for natu-ral gas, the destruction of riparian zones and deadly industrial fertilizers used in reforestation with logging in our watersheds, and the international companies siphoning water from our aquifers to sell it back to us in plastic bottles, where does our health come in?
Apparently our govern-ment forgot to factor in the importance of water to the life of the human being as well as the environment. That’s not to mention the carcinogenic and toxic chemicals involved in these processes and the byprod-ucts of which that is poured back into our environment.
So what does our govern-ment do with our tax dol-lars? They suck more out of our ailing medical system to support these industries that are making us sick in the first place and force us to pay more out of pocket to regain our health. If that
isn’t reptilian thinking I don’t what is, because logic and science both say this is lame limbic thinking at best.
We don’t need to be activ-ists per se, but we do need
to be active as individuals to put government back in its place, because what they do directly affects us.

Policies making people sick

The government is indirectly making people sick, while not suf-ficiently funding health care, argues letter writer.
To the Editor,As Canada Day passed this
month, we could all look back and think how thankful we all should be at what a great country our fore-fathers made for us. It is too bad that as we look ahead we do not see the same type of guidance.
A few weeks ago an article in a national news magazine identified city spending problems, not rev-enue problems.
Many of us believe that the Nanaimo council wants to be one of the leaders in this, too. It seems every week there are announce-ments of new ways to spend tax dollars.
Council needs to look at how they decide to spend our tax dol-lars as the “budget” system now in place has failed. We have all seen where the money is spent before the budget is approved and that there is a belief that budgets must be increased each year just and the sun rises and sets each day.
We need to redefine success in government as not to be the one that spends tax dollars the fastest, but who has the most tax dollars not spent at the end of the year.
We need guidelines to get back on track. We should concentrate only on the basic things a city should provide and that is water, sewer, roads, safety (fire and police protection), and parks for our enjoyment.
I also think we should add a sixth called, for lack of a better name, a helping fund, that would be three per cent of the annual budget. This would cover arts grants, dragon boat support, etc. Organizations would apply and when the three per cent is spent, there is no more.
Council and taxpayers have to rethink how our tax dollars are spent as they are not as much of a renewable resource as many believe they are.
Terry WagstaffNanaimo
City spending needs fresh thinkingTo the Editor,Re: Workplace safety a winner for VIHA,
June 28This safety award that VIHA has won
is a difficult pill to swallow for nurses at NRGH right now. They are faced with losing nurses on any and every given shift while VIHA cuts them back. Nurses fear for the safety and outcomes of their patients and is the No. 1 stressor on their minds as the care delivery model is implemented.
Our communities should be concerned about the level of care they are going to receive as nurses become stretched even further. They are being replaced by care aides, who are an integral part of the care team, but are not specialized in nursing assessments and skills.
Allison Cutler may have deserved this award but as a whole VIHA doesn’t. I would ask that front-line staff at the affected sites be polled next year and see what they have to say then.

To the Editor,Re: Canned tuna tastes
all right, Letters, July 9Food being “expen-
sive” is a myth. How much do people pay for water, wine, lattes? Rela-tive to wages, food has been ridiculously cheap for 60 years.
The average Canadian spends only 10 cents of every earned dollar on food. Europeans spend 18 to 35 per cent. Much of the world spends 50 per cent. Turks and Vietnamese spend 85 per cent.
Westerners are spoiled consumers, who enjoy a criminally high stan-dard of living which was created by coloniza-tion, unfair trade, slave labour, the rape of other cultures and their envi-ronments.
This is facilitated by lies, military might, international finance, currency manipulation, modern machinery and transportation systems that all run on oil mixed with blood.

Chamber helps rebuild after High River flood
The Greater Nanaimo Chamber members have always been will-ing to assist those in need.
Alberta has just gone through some of the most devastating flooding that province has ever seen.
It will take years to repair, reconstruct and revitalize com-munities in Alberta. High River was one of many communities hit hard by the flood.
The High River Chamber building has been condemned and all their equipment totally destroyed, records lost and their major source of revenue during the summer – the visitors’ cen-tre – will not be able to open this year.
To help, the Nanaimo chamber aims to raise $10,000 to help the High River Chamber of Com-merce rebuild from the devastat-ing flood.
To date, the chamber raised $5,000 from Hazelwood Con-struction and $1,000 from Bay-wood Glass.
To donate, write a cheque to the Alberta Chambers of Com-merce Disaster Relief Fund and send it to the Nanaimo chamber at 2133 Bowen Rd., Nanaimo, B.C., V9S 1H8, or call 250-756-1191 to arrange to have it picked up.
High River is a town of 15,000 and this disaster has hit them hard, but they are still trying to serve their townspeople with very limited resources.
Ken Kobly, of the Alberta chamber, said that businesses are still waiting to get back on their premises.
Many of them have found their buildings declared structurally unsound, and many will be deal-ing with insurance issues – both personal and business loss.
A strong chamber of commerce would help get them back on their feet.
To contribute directly to the Red Cross, please call 1-800-418-1111 or visit www.redcross.ca.
Cheques should be made pay-able to the Canadian Red Cross, earmarked “Alberta Floods” and mailed to the Canadian Red Cross National Office, 170 Met-calfe Street, Suite 300, Ottawa, Ont., K2P 2P2.

The B.C. SPCA is holding a special adoption promotion featuring half-price adult cat adoption fees from today (July 18) to July 31 in response to the over-whelming number of felines in care at its shelters.
Currently 743 adult cats are being cared for at SPCA facilities across the province.
“The B.C. SPCA takes in more than 15,000 homeless felines each year and right now our shelters are filled to capacity,” says Bob Busch, general manager of opera-tions for the B.C. SPCA. “We always see an influx of ani-mals at our shelters during the summer season and this year is no exception. We hope this special promotion will be an incentive for people who have thought through their deci-sion to adopt a cat and are just waiting for the right time.”
Busch said people who adopt cats from the SPCA are getting exceptional value, even without a spe-cial promotion.
“The B.C. SPCA’s average cost to care for a cat during its stay is $784, much higher than the actual adoption fee. Our costs include vaccinations, spay-ing or neutering, an identification tattoo or microchip, preven-tative treatment for internal and external parasites, any medi-cal care or rehabilita-tion required, daily welfare monitoring, sheltering and feed-ing.”
While the goal of the promotion is to find loving homes for as many adult cats as possible, all of the usual adoption crite-ria will apply.
This special adop-tion promotion will also include 50 per cent off rabbit adop-tion fees to help find homes for the 80 rab-bits presently in B.C. SPCA care. Busch said the majority of these rabbits have each spent more than 100 days in shel-ters.

Chiropractor celebrates Christmas in July to spark spirit of givingWhen the word Christmas
comes to mind, most people have thoughts of winter, family and the gift of giving. During those months leading up to and through December dona-tions are much needed and this is usually the time in when the most is given.
July is warm and people for-get that it is during the middle of the year when local food banks and charities are the most in need. With this under-standing, Lifehouse Chiroprac-tic Studio has marked July 25 on the calendar as Christmas in July
Chiropractor Norm Detillieux has been a longtime supporter of the Salvation Army, donat-ing a few hours of his time each week at the New Hope Centre in downtown Nanaimo for the past three years. He also holds a donation day each year.
Along with a complimentary adjustment for the food dona-tion, the studio will be offering people who have not experi-enced chiropractic care at the Lifehouse or want a second opinion on a health concern an opportunity to explore what chiropractic could do
for them by offering an initial consultation and examination at no charge (normally a $100 value) when people make a food donation.
The Lifehouse Chiropractic Studio is located at 1710 Jingle Pot Rd. For more information, please call 250-740-0333.

Thank you to our Teams - we couldn’t do it without you!
Vancouver Island residents interested in travelling the globe and helping people in need can accomplish both during a Habitat for Humanity Global Village trip to Bali this fall.
Linda Kostyk, a Vancouver Island resident and Habitat trip leader, is guiding the first Canadian team of volunteers on a build project in Bali, Indonesia, Oct. 18 to Nov. 3. The project is in northern Bali, an area usually secluded from the country’s tourist trade.
Participants will help families build a home. There is no age limit for participants, but they must be in good health.
“It’s an opportunity
to gain a greater understanding of development issues, to learn more about another culture and yourself,” said
Kostyk, in a press release. “You will be more than a tourist. You will work with a family to help them build a home,
strengthen their community and enrich both their lives and your own.
“You will work and laugh together, share stories and make friends.”
The two-week trip cost $1,800 per person, plus airfare and about $300 for a rest and relaxation trip. The $1,800 includes a donation to Habitat Canada and Habitat Bali, personal medical insurance, double occupancy hotel, three meals per day, in-country transportation, cultural visits and trips to other local places of interest.
Space is limited. For more information, please e-mail Kostyk at [email protected].

Second donation in pledge deliveredCentral Vancouver Island Sco-
tiabank branches presented their second installment toward a $50,000 pledge to the Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation.
The contribution was directed toward the new emergency department at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital.
Specifically, it will help the Psy-chiatric Intensive Care and Psy-chiatric Emergency Services wing deliver necessary programs to patients. The new department is nearly triple the size of the old ER and opened to the public last fall;
it is expected to serve more than 60,000 visitors this year.
The psychiatric wing offers a private unit for mental health and addictions patients to seek care.
“Scotiabank’s support has made an incredible difference to the foundation’s ability to provide equipment helping patients vis-iting emergency at NRGH,” said Christine McAuley, chairwoman of the hospital foundation.
Since 1991, Scotiabank has con-tributed more than $135,000 to health care for central Vancouver Island residents.
The Regional District of Nanaimo invites tenders for a new skateboard park in Cedar BC.
The work includes site clearing, site grading and associated sediment control. New construction includes a cast-in-place concrete skateboard park, gravel paths, rock work, site furnishing and soft landscape (planting trees, sod, seeding, shrubs and grasses).
Digital copies or hard copies (for a fee of $100 plus HST per package) of the tender documents can be obtained from Matt Lundin, Van der Zalm + associates inc. 604-882-0024 Email: [email protected]. In addition, Tender Documents may also be viewed at the Vancouver Island Construction Association Plan Room facilities in Nanaimo and Victoria.
Tenders shall include a bid bond in the amount of 10% of the Tender price, as well as consent to a performance bond and a Labour and Materials Payment Bond each in the amount of 50% of the Contract price.
The deadline for submission of tenders is 15:00:00 hours, Wednesday, 31 July 2013. A mandatory site meeting will be held at 15:00:00 hours, Wednesday, 17 July 2013.
For further information, please contact Matt Lundin, Van der Zalm + associates inc., 604-882-0024 or by Email: [email protected]

Even if you’re 40 or 80 yrs old, a total beginner or a frustrated player. You’ll be playing your favourite songs with both hands
(and sounding really good) with my powerful & easy system!
Play Beautiful Music Without YEARS of Expensive & Frustrating Lessons
At last, your AGE doesn't matter (most of my students are 40 to 80; average age 55!) You can learn how to play REAL music on the piano or keyboards fast and easy with virtually NO FRUSTRATION. Sounds too good to be true? Thousands upon thousands of adults all over North America have already discovered the 2½ hours you invest in this amazing workshop will start your lifetime of playing pleasure!
Play Hundreds of Songs Right Away!
Like most piano wannabes, I endured years of boring and mind-numbing “traditional” lessons. Not fun! Later I also learned how to play chords. Not only did I finally begin enjoying the piano, I discovered you could
do lots of fun things like playing in parties or jamming with friends. Playing in church for example (where you had to learn new songs often) became easy! You see, unlike the traditional method where you worked on ONE music piece for a long time, with chords, you could play dozens of tunes right away!
Finally a Method for Adults…Even Older Adults, That Absolutely Works!
This is not the same as other chord methods you may have tried in the past. Those methods still have you memorizing chords note-for-note and then work on learning how to play them. I discovered and developed rich
sounding chord patterns that even totalbeginners can play right away with both hands. You'll be playing all your favourite songs before you know it! Since creating The
Plus Receive All These FREE at this Amazing 2½ Hour Workshop!

artsAND ENTERTAINMENT
BY MELISSA FRYERTHE NEWS BULLETIN
Only in its fourth year, Art in the Garden already attracts dozens of artists from across the Island to its lush grounds.
Situated on four hectares of property owned by Lesley and Mike Seselja in Nanoose, 52 art-ists working in a range of mediums from jew-elry to fabric, blacksmithing and forging con-verge on the grounds Saturday and Sunday (July 20-21).
“We’re full to capacity this year,” said Kris Walker, a sculptor and one of the organizers of the event.
Some of the 52 artists include Ron Zaborniak from Lee River Woodturning, who turns dis-carded blocks of wood into one-of-a-kind art pieces like bowls, pots and candlesticks.
Or Leanne Helin, who incorporates her Tsim-shian First Nation heritage into her silver jew-elry pieces.
Even food gets the artistic treatment, with Sugar Shack Cupcakes offering sweet treats
and hot coffee on site.
T h e e v e n t , a l though much smaller, carries the same spirit as the Filberg Festival in the Comox Valley. Art in the Garden isn’t as strictly jur-ied as the Filberg, but members of the organizing commit-
tee make sure that all goods are made by those displaying them, and ensure that the event fea-tures a variety of artists.
Like the Filberg, musicians are a big part of the artistic celebration.
“We also showcase local musical talent,” Walker said.
Playing music from a small floating stage on the property’s pond are Terry Mack, Bobbi Chill, Marty Steele, Theo Massop and Bood a Boom, and the Coombs Old Time Fiddlers.
The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days at 2525 Northwest Bay Rd. Admission is by donation and proceeds will be donated to Nanoose Counselling Service, which operates the food bank in the community.
The previous three events raised $7,200 for the food bank, which serves about 100 people per month. For more information, please visit www.nanoosebayartinthegarden.com.
BY RACHEL STERNTHE NEWS BULLETIN
Five Years Further is rocking across Western Canada to promote its new album Perfection is Lifeless.
The hard rock band incorporates a variety of styles into its music, but stays true to its roots.
Cameron Boone, Five Years Fur-ther’s lead singer and songwriter, said the songs were created in his base-ment studio.
“I come up with a riff or an idea and
go in the studio and start laying down tracks. I come up with an idea and it spawns from there,” he said.
The lyrics he creates are based on emotions stirred by the music. He’ll often listen to the track over and over letting it ebb into him and tap into those emotions and start singing lyr-ics it inspires.
“It’s so simple and catchy, that’s one of the things I enjoy,” he said..
Perfection is Lifeless, a 12-song album, comes out July 27.
“We have so many great songs, each with their own distinctive vibe and feeling, that it felt wrong to try to cut it down to four or five,” said Lex Kosinski, the group’s bass player, in a press release.
Five Years Further is completing a
Western Canada tour this summer to promote the album. Boone said mem-bers of the band were careful to keep the sound real and not over tune the songs.
“If you make it too perfect it’s too sterile,” said Boone. “It doesn’t have anything anymore.”
Five Years Further performs at the Cambie Friday (July 19) at 8 p.m. He said members are ready to put on an exciting show.
“The best way to describe what we do is we bring the boom,” said Boone. “We’ll have a lot of fun, but we’ll rock out hard.”
For more information about the band, please go to www.fiveyearsfurther.com.

HAFI adapts homes for B.C. seniors and people with disabilities
Brenda has always been an active woman. However, recent health issues including osteoarthritis in her left knee and losing kidney function have slowed her down. Her mobility is limited and she is now on dialysis three days a week. To adjust to her changed circumstances, Brenda sought help with her daily living activities.
Part of that help came from the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program offered through BC Housing. Launched in January 2012, the HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.
Brenda applied for a new walk-in bathtub because she couldn’t safely get out of the tub on her own. Walk-in tubs include additional safety measures such as anti-slip floors, grab bars, and a very low step in.
Home adaptations may also include handrails in halls or stairs, ramps for
easier access, easy-to-reach work and storage areas in the kitchen, lever handles on doors or faucets, walk-in showers, and bathtub grab bars and seats.
Brenda is a strong advocate for the program and has even shared HAFI brochures with nurses in the renal unit where she undergoes dialysis. If you or someone you know is having difficulty performing day-to-day activities safely and independently – the HAFI program may be able to help.
Since the program began, more than 300 households completed renovations with HAFI financial assistance, making it possible for seniors and people with disabilities to continue to live in the safety and comfort of their home.

Nanaimo Concert Band hosts a free concert in Maffeo Sutton Park Monday (July 22) evening.
More than 50 brass and woodwind musi-cians will be perform-ing a range of musical genres, including swing, classical and musicals.
“We’re going to do lots of fun, light sum-mer music for this concert,” said Shari Barker, publicity director. “The whole family will love it. There’s going to be a lot of musical energy and we’ll get your toes tapping.”
The band’s conduc-tor, John Forbes, a Victoria Music Hall of Famer, spent 30 years in the military band system.
There, he played everything from keyboards to tuba, trumpet and percus-sion, and served as a concert pianist, vocalist, conductor
and staff arranger for the military.
He was also a Nanaimo Concert Band member before becoming its conduc-tor.
“He’s an amazing man and conductor and so full of energy, we just get so excited when we play under him,” Barker said.
Nanaimo Concert Band was founded in 1872 by Rev. James Reynard and originally known as Nanaimo Brass Band.
Its current mem-bers are primarily based in Nanaimo, but a few travel from Ladysmith, Che-mainus and Parksville to get their musical fix.
The band’s oldest member, Al Camp-bell, has played with the band for nearly 70 years.
“It’s like a large fam-ily, and music’s their life,” said Barker, who played clarinet with
the band for the past 31 years. “We have amateur to profes-sional musicians, and even though I’m an amateur, the things I learn from these pro-fessionals ... they’re amazing people to play with and they teach you so much.”
Earlier this year,
the band competed in the National Music Festival in Ottawa and brought home the Gold award in its category.
Monday’s concert starts at 6:30 p.m.

BY GREG SAKAKITHE NEWS BULLETIN
It’s a new football sea-son, and the V.I. Raid-ers are starting fresh.
Nanaimo’s Canadian Junior Football League team opens main camp today (July 18) at the Campbell River Sportsplex, with the season opener eight days away.
The Raiders – who saw their string of six straight B.C. champion-ships end in 2012 – will be a new-look team this summer. There are 81 players on the roster right now, a majority of them new to the black, white and red.
“We’ve got some really good football players, guys that understand the game and how to play it,” said Matthew (Snoop) Blokker, Raiders coach. “Yeah, we’re young, but we’re young and tal-ented and I’ll take that anytime.”
If 81 sounds like a lot of players, it is.
“We haven’t carried that many players so we’ve got some logis-tics to make sure that we do right so that we still can create the type of tempo and not have guys sitting around,” Blokker said.
He and the other members of the coach-ing staff have had four practices at Comox
Field over the past week to gauge the play-ers. The football club has also used the time to take care of matters such as registration, housing and employ-
ment. The goal is to have as many of those distractions out of the way as possible by today.
“So we can take advantage of every sec-
ond we have up there,” Blokker said.
The Raiders need to make the most of their time. With so many newcomers, there’s a lot of learning and
teaching that needs to take place.
“We have to start from the very, very basics,” said the coach. “Our playbook right now has shrunk right down. We’ll build as we can execute.”
Still, players will be expected to learn quickly. The advantage to having 81 players, said Blokker, is that if one guy isn’t getting it, there’s probably some-one else on the side-lines who does get it.
“We want to get the train going 100 miles and hour and the only way we’ll do that is not stop it for people that don’t know what they’re doing,” said the coach. “And when they do find out what they’re doing, they can get back on the train.”
There is competition for starting spots and playing time at virtually every position on the field.
Raiders raring to go at campBY GREG SAKAKITHE NEWS BULLETIN
The Nanaimo Timber-men have demonstrated again and again that there’s still fight left in them.
The city’s senior A lacrosse team defeated the Maple Ridge Burrards 10-9 in overtime Sunday to keep its slim playoff hopes alive. The T-men (5-10) are still in seventh and last place in the West-ern Lacrosse Association, but they definitely have a heartbeat.
“If the stars are aligned, we might sneak into that fourth spot,” said Kaleb Toth, the team’s coach. “So that’s what we’re hop-ing. But we can only take care of ourself and let everybody else do their own thing. Hopefully if we just take care of business, things will fall into place.”
With three games left, the T-men are six points back of the third-place Burnaby Lakers and four points back of the fourth-place Burrards.
Toth said he hopes his guys will sustain the effort they’ve been exhibiting all season long.
“The guys are playing hard and there’s a lot of pride in our dressing room,” said the coach.
GAME ON … The Coastal Windows Timbermen visit the Coquitlam Adanacs on Saturday (July 20) … There is one home game left in 2013; the T-men host the Burrards on July 27 at Frank Crane Arena.

The Raiders’ defensive lineup, in particular, is very much up in the air with around 50 guys com-peting for the 12 starting jobs.
One of the ways guys
can separate themselves is with their conditioning. Blokker said he expects this year’s main camp to be the most physically demanding yet.
“We’ve got to create that discipline and fit-
ness,” he said. “We want to be that team in the fourth quarter that’s moving one way and not the other.”
Main camp is never any summer holiday, and there’s a sense of
urgency, too, as the B.C. Football Conference regular season starts five days after camp ends.
“At the end of it we’re definitely going to have our guys ready to go for Week 1,” Blokker said.
GAME ON … The Raid-ers start the CJFL season July 27 when they play the Westshore Rebels at 7 p.m. at Victoria’s Bear Mountain Stadium. V.I.’s home opener is Aug. 10.

Nanaimo Pirates third baseman Tristan Olsen, left, tags out a North Shore Twins baserunner during the last game of the B.C. Premier Baseball League regular season on Tuesday at Serauxmen Stadium.
Pirates win last two before playoffsBY GREG SAKAKIThe News BulleTiN
T h e N a n a i m o Pirates needed a win on the last day of the regular season. They got two, and also some good feel-ings as they head into playoffs.
The Hub City Pav-ing Pirates swept the North Shore Twins 7-6 and 4-1 on Tuesday at Serauxmen Stadium.
“We took these as must-win games…” said Tristan Olsen, who hit a bases-clearing triple in the second game. “We wanted to come out here and do the best we could.”
It was a rough start for the home team as the Pirates got down 4-0 in the first inning of the first game. It was 6-3 for the Twins going into the bottom of the seventh, but the Pirates came back and Devon Geary hit a game-winning single.
“We pulled it out. That’s usually what we do,” Geary said. “We’re known for the last-inning heroics.”
There was relief and excitement to win that game and secure a playoff spot, said
Geary, and the team kept up the energy and played well in the second half of the doubleheader, too. The score was 1-1 until Olsen’s triple in the sixth.
“You want to win going into the play-offs,” said Doug Rog-ers, Pirates manager. “You don’t want to limp in there, you want to show that you’re playing well, things are firing.”
Geary said after the game that the Pirates h a d m o m e n t u m and confidence and felt as though they could beat whoever they got matched up against. They found out later that day that they would be taking on the Victo-ria Mariners, starting Saturday (July 20). The M’s (32-16) are the No. 2 seed and the Pirates (25-23) are No. 7, so the whole best-of-three series will be played down the Malahat.
“We’re a scary team to play right now because we have nothing to lose,” Rog-ers said. “And we have four good guys on the mound in a short series.”
BASE LINES … Luke Skingle earned the ‘W’ in the 7-6 victory, throwing a complete game. Zach Diewert and Aidan Goodall hit a single and a double each and Alex Rog-ers and Geary had two hits apiece … In
the finale, Alex Rog-ers threw a complete game, striking out eight. He finished the season with 104 strikeouts, best in the premier league and ended up tied for first in wins with 10.
Players benefit from Team B.C. experienceThe local football players at
the Red River Cup this month in Winnipeg didn’t just get gold, they gained something from the experience.
Nanaimo’s Glenn Cook, defen-sive coordinator of the U16 Team B.C. squad, said the local play-ers – Brandon White, Carson Vos and Cory Fletcher – all played well and he said White was one
of the best defensive backs at the tourney.
The team “opened some eyes” to B.C. football, said Cook, and he credited the players.
“We showed up there, we’d never practised together … and we ended up winning the whole thing,” he said. “It shows that the kids were ready to go and they were open to learning.”

Soccer continues to be in the news these days, both interna-tionally and locally.
The big news on the Canadian scene was the recent announcement of Spanish manager Benito Floro as new coach of the national men’s soccer team. The Canadian Soccer Association is hop-ing that the former Real Madrid manager can lead our country back to respectabil-ity.
Canada hasn’t qual-
ified for the World Cup since 1986. The most recent embar-rassment was our men’s team losing 1-0 this month to Mar-tinique in Gold Cup competition. Obvi-ously Floro will have his work cut out for him.
Locally, this past season marked what apparently will be the final one for ban-tam (born 1999-2000) girls’ soccer com-petition in Nanaimo elementary schools. A decision has been
made that will see the sport replaced with another activity in coming years.
Annette Noble co-ordinated the league this year. In the large school division, the playoff final pitted McGirr against Ruth-erford and it was the McGirr squad that prevailed 3-1.
Players on the championship team were Jenelle Boutin, Taylor Matsuo, Katy McKillop, Kimberly Purdy, Hannah Rafuse, Sara Spencer,
Haley Young, Sarah Zuccaro, Zoe Brown, Jessica Cyr, Maddy Kozubal, Alyx Largue, Melody Meadows, Emma Membry, Nayeon Hyun, Erica Mac-Donald, Sarah Powley, Christine Ren, Abby Meadows and Natalie Schofield. Coaches for the girls were Sue DeR-osa, Christine Ciofi and Holly Knox.
Coached by Mr. Rolls and Ms. McCon-nie, the Rutherford side consisted of
players Taylor Paten-aude, Shayesteh Fou-ladgar, Niamh Mur-phy, Reeth Kahlon, Jessica Ory, Rebekah Holm, Robyn Van Zyl,
Cara Dun-lop, Jia Yin He, Nicole Andrews, Kianna McCreight and Taya Ironside.
Finish-ing in third place was the entry from Randerson Ridge. Dave
McKinlay coached players Nicole Briggs, Annika Cook, Halle Williamson, Olivia Vallee, Sophie Scobie, Jessica Harry, Chris-
tina Harry, Shirin Anjarwalla, Shayla Frinton, Jordan Isnor, Aila Thompson and Madyson East.
It was an exciting final in the smaller schools’ division, as Pauline Haarer and Davis Road went scoreless through regulation and over-time. In a penalty shootout it was Pauline Haarer that came out on top, avenging a shootout loss in the final the previous season. Brian Kirkhope and Ian Johnson coached the winning team, with players being Hannah Crosby, Cas-sandra Hartwich, Jaimie Hartwich, Kendra Falkenberg, Jenna Falkenberg, Jessica Johnson, Sarah Kirkhope, Esme Laidlaw, O-Lin Metz, Erin O’Sullivan, Bella Rule, Madeleine Thorkelsson, Joscelin Martin, Tasia MacMil-lan, Maddy Jones and Samantha Hall.
Representing Davis Road were Olivia Mazurenko, Sarah
Kedves, Marina Anderson, Jessica Stone, Leah Reinhart, Grace Mannix, Hailey Martens, McKenzie Purslow, Hannah Ronmark, Mary Nicholls, Ava Wilson, Sarah Gabrielson, Hera Bucatan, Shy-anna Cavey and Ellen Couchman. Coach for the team was Sean Walsh.
Third place went to the Frank J. Ney squad coached by Mrs. Stewart. Girls on the team were Emily Till, Woojin Kim, Kimberly MacDonald, Charlotte Balderson, Pariya Sadeghi, Vic-toria Sunnar, Ayla Richmond, Tom-mylia Dunbar, Lauren Sanderson, Angela Webber, Nadia Piz-zingrilli, Brianna Hoy, Erika McEachnie and Joanna Vallejo.
Whatever your sport, a reminder in closing to play your hardest, play fair, and show good sports-manship.

A huge bouquet to Kirkwood Academy’s Miss Leah. Thank you for always going above and beyond, for the hours and hours you volunteer and for the heartfelt dedication you give to our young dancers. You have a beautiful heart and it shows with all you do for our kids.
A huge bouquet for the wonderful people who stopped to help my husband (a senior) when he fell on Commercial Street. Thank you to the couple who helped him up and offered him a seat, to the two young men who ran across the street to assist and the several others who also offered their assistance. Your help was greatly appreciated.
A huge bouquet of thAnk Yous to Dan and the team at AC Taxi for tending to details so a wheelchair-bound grandmother could attend her grandson’s wedding on Thetis Island. Nanaimo is fortunate to have such excellent companies and services.
A bouquet to sAY thAnks to the volunteers for their enthusiasm and to the folks who donated their refundable containers at the Nanaimo and Area Land Trust’s Bottles for the River fundraiser.
thAnks from NALT to Save-On-Foods (Country Club Centre) for providing food for volunteers, Starbucks for the coffee to keep us all moving, Country Club Centre for supporting fundraising events at the mall and to Lucky’s Liquor Store for providing the space to hold the event and in-store promotion. Donations of refundables and cash during the Bottles for the River fundraiser totalled more than $1,200.
A lArge bouquet of tree brAnches for the nice man who was cutting branches for B.C. Hydro near the Petroglyph Mobile Home Park. It was nice of you to let me use your hard hat and ear protectors. I appreciated your patience with the many questions I was asking. From Caiden, the three-year-old.
A beAutiful gArden bouquet to Yvonne Vander Kooi from Bird Studio who spent countless hours providing free Art in the Park all week at Forest Drive Park. It is people like you who make this a fun, safe and creative community for the kids of Nanaimo.
A bodAcious bouquet to my two lovely friends who read the Beefs and Bouquets section every week and always secretly hope to see a bouquet to themselves. Here are bunches of flowers and love.
A bouquet of cellphones to Ed and Cat at the 7-Eleven store on Bowen Road. They helped me get my cellphone up and running with a great deal of patience, even though the store was very busy. Thanks, guys.
thAnk You to Jayne and all the staff at Kelly’s Kitchen Cafe for finding my diamond-filled, teardrop-shaped gold earring. The earings were given to me by my dear Aunt Rose. When I called and you told me you found it, my heart smiled.
A bouquet to Patricia and her staff at Apple Auto Glass on Cliff Street. I recently took my vehicle in to have a rock chip fixed and they were friendly and easy on the wallet.
A speciAl bouquet to C & S Transmission in Lantzville for the fine work done on my Chevy hot rods. You do excellent work and make visiting your shop a lot of fun. Well done.
A huge thAnks on behalf of everyone who Ms. Rynanen has helped over the years. You have helped many students achieve their goals, including myself and many of my friends. You are not only the best math teacher I’ve ever had, you are also the best teacher I’ve ever had. You go above and beyond to help your students and even those who aren’t your students. You are a superhero.
the cAt’s Meow to the man from Davey Tree Services, who climbed up a spindly tree in the Brookwood area to rescue a scared cat free of charge. These are the fellows you want doing your tree work. A big thank you to our neighbours, Mika and Randy, for caring enough to organize the rescue and spend their only day off dealing with this problem.
A greAt big bouquet to the Big Mess, a father and son duo that played in the Bowen Park amphitheatre recently. Funny, talented and entertaining. I couldn’t sit still, the music was fabulous. I can’t wait to hear you again.
A MexicAn fiestA to Gina’s Mexican Cafe. They value loyal customers and recognize what makes a business a success. Thank you for bringing Mexican flavour to Nanaimo.
A bouquet to all the food trucks at Maffeo Sutton Park during the Nanaimo Dragon Boat Festival. It’s so nice to have a choice and to enjoy a meal in the fresh air at the water’s edge at the same time. They should be there all summer.
A beAutiful bouquet of red roses to Chris Hamlyn, former assistant editor of the Nanaimo News Bulletin. Thank you for your nice articles.
A bouquet. Broom is a delight to see, especially alongside roadways. The bees enjoy broom and we need the bees. Also it is bright on dark, cloudy days.
A big beef to all opposed to removing the dams in Colliery Dam Park. It is not about your selfish needs and wants, it’s about the safety of the citizens. Since when are you all more qualified than a professional engineer?
A beef. Prices at thrift stores have risen considerably and it’s almost cheaper to shop sales at regular retail outlets now.
A beef stew to the young man next door who asked if my dogs could stop barking because he had a hangover. You should’ve thought of that when you threw that loud rager last night.
A slow down beef to the driver who not only hit a spotted baby deer on Hammond Bay Road this morning, but flattened it. Its mother stood beside her dead baby not knowing what to do. I cried all the way to work. Slow down – this image is something I will never get out of my head.
A piece of MAMMoth beef to the person who dumped a big-screen TV up above Doumont Road recently, then smashed it to pieces to make it even harder to clean up. Did you really not know you could take it to recycling for free?
A giAnt beef to the store that advertises a good deal on an item on a certain day, but when I went to get the item, they didn’t have it in stock. When I asked if I could have a rain check, that request was refused. Sounds like false advertising to me.
A beef to the hops plant that my husband decided to plant. It has grown out of control and its leaves and vines grab me rather inappropriately every time I try to tend to the other plants in the garden.
A beef to dog owners at the Beban Park off-leash area for older and larger dogs. It is a disgrace with poop all over the play area.
A beef about the attitudes of many in the local restaurant industry these days. It seems like most servers think they are doing you a favour by bringing you drinks and dinner. Large groups of people that bring in lots of money for the business are viewed as an inconvenience.
A beef to unemployed people who complain about insomnia. Maybe if you did something during the day, you’d be tired at night and would fall asleep like the rest of us.

We have lost someone very special. Following 9 years of battling cancer, Lew decided it was time to rest. He passed away on July 12, 2013 at NRGHospital (while doing a crossword puzzle). Lew was born on December 21st, 1932, in Edmundston New Brunswick where he spent his early years as an avid hockey player. As a teen he trained as an Air Cadet and then enlisted in the RCAF as an Electronics technician where he rose to the rank of CWO. He was the recipient of many awards and decorations; a life he loved until retirement. The whole family benefi ted from being posted coast to coast as well as Europe. Lew also served as a Peace Keeper in Egypt. He met his wife Elena in St. John’s Newfoundland and they recently celebrated 57 years together. They had 2 children; Tony (Anita), grandson Michael (Briana) and granddaughter Breanne. He was predeceased by daughter Colleen who they never stopped missing. Lew was part of a large French Canadian family with 3 sisters (Grace, Theresa, Betty-ann) and 1 brother (Gil) and many nieces and nephews. The large family on his wife’s side were also very important to him, especially June. His last military posting to Nanaimo saw retirement, fun and comradeship in the many activities in which he was involved such as; golf, curling, bridge, Member of Probus, and 257 Legion. He was also an active member of 808 RCAF Wing right up to his passing. The care given by the Nanaimo Cancer Agency (Dr. Dunne), Dr. Voetman, the staff on the fourth fl oor, especially nurse Laura, was exceptional. We owe Dr. Chan special thanks and he will understand why. Lew was a true gentleman, a wonderful husband and father. He was a great friend to many that crossed his path - always smiling with a positive outlook - right to the end. Thank you to everyone who reached out.
A family gathering will be held at a later date.

Nanaimo Yacht ClubThe man I so adore. You didn’t expect this letter to you. I was so frustrated on that site; but after I thoroughly read your profile and viewed your pictures, I realized I pushed away the very man I’ve been waiting for, for so long; someone real, and looking for something meaningful.
I was drawn to you. I love all that you do, and have enjoyed doing many of those things.
This may sound lame to some; your picture of you smiling warms my heart. I’ve never gotten a stomach full of butterflies thinking of someone I’ve never met. I love that you play the mandolin, as guitar and mandolin are my favorite instruments.
I’m a petite, 5’4”, 116 lb, brown eyed brunette. I couldn’t let this go without letting you know how I feel. I would so love to meet you. If you feel the same, please call. (250)710-1956
