Nanaimo 4-H Barnyard staff are hoping a doe rabbit and her four kittens will be returned to Beban Park.

Barnyard staff discovered the bunnies were missing Sunday morning during a weekend check of the animals.

“We came in Sunday to find them and their food dishes gone,” said Sabrina Meyer, a member of the Gabriola 4-H Club.

The rabbits, which are from Gabriola, were being displayed at the barnyard, which is set up so people, especially children, can pet and interact with domesticated animals.

The rabbits taken were pure bred mini lops. The rabbits are a variety that are smaller in size and have floppy ears.

The mother is black and the babies have golden seal tip coats.

The theft was reported to police, but there is little investigators can do.

“They can’t really do anything because there are no security cameras and no wit-nesses,” Meyer said.

Meyer said this is the first theft she is aware of since the 4-H Barnyard was moved to the Beban Park exhibition grounds from Bowen Park in 2008.

She has been lending her rabbits to the barnyard since it moved.

The rabbits might have been stolen because of their size and docile nature, Meyer said.

“The rabbits are the smallest and quiet-est of the animals there, so they’re easier to transport and don’t make a lot of noises when you pick them up,” Meyer said.

The barn is open daily, admission by dona-tion, through July and August.

Anyone with information about the theft of these animals is asked to call Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345 or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.nanaimocrimestoppers.com.

Volunteers discover bunnies missing from 4-H Barnyard

Money earmarked for assembly wharfBy ChRIS BuShTHe NewS BULLeTiN

The federal government opened the latch on the Asia-Pacific Gateway, so to speak, by announcing $4.65 million to modern-ize the Nanaimo Assembly Wharf for short sea con-tainer shipping.

The announcement was made Wednesday morn-ing by Peter Van Loan, leader of government in the House of Commons, on behalf of Ed Fast, minister of international trade and for the Asia-Pacific Gate-way, with James Lunney, Nanaimo-Alberni MP, and

Robert Bennie, Nanaimo Port Authority chairman.

The assembly wharf modernization project is part of Canada’s Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corri-dor Initiative, designed to bolster trade and shipping with Asian markets.

The assembly wharf, which has been mostly dormant for about 10 years, will be renovated to handle short-sea con-tainer shipping between Nanaimo and the Lower Mainland.

Van Loan sees opportuni-ties for container shipping of lumber from Nanaimo.

“Containerization has

made things more efficient and that will put this area back in play,” Van Loan said. “We’ve spent a lot of effort trying to open up Asian markets with a lot of success in Japan, China and elsewhere to the Cana-dian lumber industry.

“Exports of lumber to the Far East have been going up at a very steep rate. It’s been very important to the industry and this is an opportunity for this area to benefit from that activ-ity even more so.”

The $4.65 million will be matched by an equal investment from the Nanaimo Port Authority

– from revenue it raises from fees for moorage and other services – making for a total investment of $9.3 million.

Bernie Dumas, Nanaimo Port Authority president and CEO, said the port estimates it will earn that investment back over the next 10 years.

The renovations could also get Nanaimo into the international container shipping business during times when the Port of Van-couver is filled to capacity and needs additional stor-age and shipment transfer facilities.

Peter Van Loan, leader of the government in House of Commons, left, and James Lunney, Nanaimo MP, announce $4.65 million in federal funding to help upgrade the Nanaimo Assembly Wharf into a short-sea container shipping facil-ity during a ceremony at the site Wednesday morning.

Students at Seaview Elementary School will get a chance to nurture their green thumbs next school year.

Thanks to grants secured through the Toyota Evergreen Learning Grounds pro-gram and the Whole Kids Foundation, par-ents, students and school staff members plan to begin construction of a vegetable garden on school grounds in September.

“The whole reason behind that is to teach kids about healthy eating and hope-fully one day have a cooking program,” said Cherie Alyward, parent advisory council chairwoman. “It’s nice to have for the kids. They may not be able to experi-ence gardening at home.”

The idea of having a garden on school grounds took root after Alyward’s old-est daughter went on a field trip to John Barsby Secondary School, which already has one, to participate in a cooking pro-gram.

The students loved being able to head out to the garden to pick some fresh herbs and vegetables to use in a soup they later dropped off at the local food bank.

Alyward said the kids had all sorts of technical questions about what could be grown in the area and at what times of the year and so with the support of Jeff Schultz, a teacher at the school, as well as the administration, she applied for the grants.

The project received $3,000 through the Toyota Evergreen Learning Grounds pro-gram, a joint venture between local Toyota dealerships, including Nanaimo Toyota Scion, and Toyota Canada to help schools create outdoor classrooms, and $2,000 through the Whole Kids Foundation’s School Garden Grants program.

Alyward said the plan is to build 10 raised boxes – one for every class in the school – as well as a learning bench, orna-mental bed, herb garden and shed. The $5,000 should cover everything, including soil and tools, except for the shed.

“We’re hoping to get donations for the shed,” she said, adding the district has cleared and flattened an area on school property for the garden.

Alyward hopes that most teachers incor-porate the garden into their lessons.

She said aside from the potential for using it in science, math and other lessons, the garden can help teach students about healthy eating, where food comes from and the benefits of growing your own food.

The hope is one day a cooking program could be added at the school that would use what is produced in the garden, Aly-ward added. A group of parents signed on to help maintain the garden.

Grant helps establish school veggie garden

Hub City Lions are driving donations while helping emer-gency responders get to emergency scenes in a hurry with 911 Reflective Address Signs.

9 1 1 R e f l e c t i v e Address Signs are highly visible day or night and are made of the same aluminum and reflective vinyl as road signs.

One of the things that slows down emergency respond-ers is that they often cannot find a home’s address numbers at a time when every sec-ond saved counts.

“Quite often people don’t even have an address posted on their house or it’s obscured by plants and vegetation or the numbers have fallen down, so we run into it fairly commonly,”

said Capt. Brian Cripps, of Nanaimo Fire Rescue. “If it’s a fire it’s fairly self-evident, but 65 per cent of our calls are medical in nature and not everyone comes out and waves their hands to flag us down.”

Hub City Lions hopes to cut the time it takes to confirm an address by selling as many of the 15 by 46 centimetre signs as possible.

The signs sell for $40 each. Lions mem-bers put the numbers of the house address on each sign before they are taken to be installed on homes, gates and fences.

“Our biggest chal-lenge is nighttime and trying to find the addresses,” said Lance Stephenson, B . C . A m b u l a n c e s u p e r i n t e n d e n t . “Lots of times people use decorative letter-

ing. It looks good on a home, but its very hard to find with a spotlight at night.”

The reflective letter-ing and background on the signs show up brightly under an emergency vehicles’ search light.

Hub City Lions has an initial trial order

of 100 signs for sale, which will be avail-able Saturdays at a Lions’ sales booth at Nanaimo North Town Centre.

If that order sells out, Hub City Lions will continue with the program.

“It’s a community service as well as

a fundraiser,” said Peter Thomas, Hub City Lions secretary. “We feel selling these signs could save a life.”

For more informa-tion or to order a sign, please call 250-754-2729, 250-754-8577 or 250-729-7860.

Two local men are hoping to spark a debate about the future of Vancouver Island – with the goal of seeing the Island become a separate, self-reliant and sustainable province by the year 2021.

Laurie Gourlay and Scott Akenhead, from Cedar and North Oyster respectively, have begun a petition to gather support for the movement, find out what people think about the idea and begin a conversation about what self-governance of the Island might look like.

“We could be addressing our problems by ourselves instead of trying to address

them through 14 MLAs in a legislature with 85,” said Akenhead. “You’d be able to bring to bear a lot more attention to the specific problems and the specific opportunities the Island has in a way you could never do if it was mixed in with the rest of B.C.”

The petition is one step in a long and complex process, but Gourlay and Akenhead hope it will bring the issue to the forefront of people’s minds and get them talk-ing about the opportunities such a change might afford. They point out that the idea of a Province of Vancouver Island is not a new idea, but rather a very old one.

The Island was a self-gov-

erned colony in the mid-1800s before it amalgam-ated with the colony of B.C. in 1866, in part because of economic pressures.

The two point out that if Vancouver Island were to become a province, it would be larger in popula-tion than Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick as well as all three territories.

Gourlay and Akenhead envision a province that capitalizes on its own natu-ral and cultural resources in a way that builds an envi-ronmentally and economi-cally sustainable province. Their hope is to use the legal framework that’s just been drafted for a coming power

shift in the Northwest Ter-ritories, which will soon be granted provincial-like pow-ers over its resources, water and Crown land, to create a self-governing Vancouver Island.

Anyone interested in sign-ing the petition can access it at http://viprovince.ca. Supporters must print out two copies of the petition – one is for the provincial government and the other is federal – sign both copies as send them to V.I Petition, Box 333, Cedar, B.C., V9X 1W1.

The petitions will be col-lected and delivered to the appropriate government agencies.

Police in Nanaimo are looking for two suspects believed to be the culprits behind an explosion that blew out a car’s windshield.

Mounties were called shortly before 11 p.m. Tuesday when a witness reported two young males setting off what appeared to be fireworks or possibly pipe bombs in the parking lot of a business on Stewart Avenue.

Minutes later, the witness called back saying the youths had put an explosive on a car in the area, which blew out the car’s wind-

shield. The witness then started chasing the suspects. Mounties searched the neighbourhood, but failed to find the two youths.

The suspects are described as aboriginal males, about 14 years old. One was wearing a black shirt and checkered long shorts. The other wore a striped shirt with brown and grey long shorts.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Police search for suspects in explosion

u From /1Nanaimo is one of several ports in the Asia-

Pacific Gateway Initiative receiving money to improve facilities. Van Loan and Lunney were on their way to Port Alberni to make a similar announcement there Wednesday afternoon.

“The ability to move containers gives the ability to get into smaller lots,” Dumas said. “It opens up new markets for the forest products industry here. The movement of cargo on Van-couver Island hasn’t really changed since the ‘50s or ‘60s, so this project will enable direct movements of containers from Nanaimo, right to an international container terminal where they go onto a mothership right away and then off to Asia.”

Dumas said the operation will be more seam-less, involve fewer trucks and ultimately be greener and more energy efficient.

A sizeable portion of the renovation will go into purchasing a used container crane, which the Port Authority hopes to buy for about $2.5 million. Major reconstruction will be carried out to upgrade and strengthen the assembly wharf. A portion of it is built on wood pilings, some of which were driven in the 1950s.

Construction could start in late September or early October and be completed by September 2014. Dumas did not have hard figures project-ing the number of direct job opportunities the wharf upgrades will generate.

A loading crew for a barge totals about 12 people and Dumas estimated 200 to 300 12-metre containers would move through the wharf per week initially with an eye to increas-ing volume. Day-to-day Port of Nanaimo ship-ping operations will be handled by DP World Vancouver, a division of DP World, which oper-ates 65 marine terminals worldwide and main-tains its corporate head office in Dubai.

Ultimately Dumas sees Nanaimo as being the possible gateway for shipping to the central Island and even Victoria.

“One of the things with containers is that you only need to move about 20 tonnes – you only need to fill up that box and get it to Asia, so you’re going to see a lot of companies in Nanaimo and Duncan and maybe up in Camp-bell River that can actually start moving cargo to Asia that they couldn’t do before,” he said.

As a single mom with two young boys, a thought that has crossed Tara Maguire’s mind more than once is what would hap-pen to her family if something hap-pened to her and she couldn’t work any more or as much.

Rent takes up almost 50 per cent of her income already, so when she heard that her fam-ily is one of two fam-ilies selected to live in the duplex that Habitat for Human-ity Mid-Vancouver Island is building, she was overjoyed.

“It will provide financial stability for myself and my chil-dren,” said Maguire, 33. “It was going to take us 10 years before I could jump into the market.”

Habitat sells quali-fying families homes with an interest-free mortgage. No more than a quarter of the family’s income goes toward mortgage payments and as the family’s income changes, the mort-gage changes with it, so the family will not end up homeless.

Maguire and her sons Kyler, 9, and Jackson, 4, and Jenn Stuart and her two daughters, Solace, 8, and Maren, 3, will occupy the duplex once it is finished next winter.

The families have qualified based on need, ability to take on a mortgage and willingness to part-

ner with Habitat to complete 500 hours of sweat equity per family.

Maguire and her sons are helping out at community events and she is crocheting shawls for Nanaimo Com-munity Hospice Society.

She said the family

plans to continue volunteering beyond the required 500 hours.

Habitat has bro-ken ground on the duplex at the corner of Prideaux and Hecate streets that will house Maguire and Stuart’s families and is looking for community support

to help raise the $150,000 needed.

“It costs quite a bit of money to build these houses to a good quality,” said Teresa Pring, Habitat for Human-ity Mid-Vancouver Island executive director. “We hope that the commu-nity supports our project. Last year we raised about $200,000, so I think we can do it.”

The duplex, 1,100 square feet per side including three bedrooms and one and a half bath-rooms, will become the 13th and 14th homes built by the Nanaimo charity and it is being built next door to a duplex the charity built last year.

The goal is to achieve the Built Green Platinum Standard, a standard that requires build-ers to use energy efficient framing methods and envi-ronmentally friendly building products, and will keep the hydro and heating bills down for the two families.

Pring said aside from helping mon-etarily, people are welcome to help at the build site doing chores like painting or cleanup work, as this type of work helps reduce the

$150,000 price tag.Major donations to

date include $10,000 from Coast Realty Group, $20,000 from Royal Bank of Canada and $10,000 from Mid-Island Co-op.

Gifts can be made online at www. habitatmvi.org, in person at Habitat headquarters – #1-4128 Mostar Rd. – or over the phone at 250-758-8078.

Visitors to the Mon-tana’s Cookhouse Charity Car Show, on

July 14 can expect to have their ideas of souped-up cars over-hauled by the more than 175 custom built hot rods, mus-

cle cars and antiques on display.

The show, orga-nized by the Red-liners Car Club, promises to deliver

in revved-up style an assortment of vehi-cles built and recon-ditioned on Van-couver Island. From a 1937 Plymouth Coupe worth $92,000, with a 528 cubic inch Hemi engine that puts out 850 horse-power, to a silver grey Corvette with more than $200,000 worth of fine tuning, spectators can expe-rience the magic of decked out, chopped and channelled, ported and polished high-end cars.

Bob Falk, one of the organizers and participants said the show is attract-ing some impressive vehicles like a 1939 Plymouth with a memorable paint job.

“When you see it you’ll never forget it.” said Chip Lenton, co-organizer and owner of Chip’s Cus-toms.

All the cars, with their specially tinted paints and custom-built trims, will be dressed in their best finery, buffed and polished to a blind-ing shine and finely tuned for that perfect purr.

And though specta-tors won’t be taking the cars for a test drive they are invited to come, look and

listen and then pick their favourite. Win-ners of the People’s Choice will be awarded a variety of prizes, donated by local businesses.

“Suppliers have been very generous in donating prizes,” said Falk.

“We’ve got tool sets, a stainless steel barbecue, a ceiling fan, T-shirts, 200 tins of salmon from St. Jean’s [Cannery] and lots more.”

To submit a car for display, participants pay a $20 entry fee

with all proceeds going to the Nanaimo Community Hospice Society.

Each participant will drive home with something, Falk said, they’ll more than make back their entry fee, even if they don’t win one of six top picks prizes.

They’ll also have an opportunity to win cash in the 50/50 draw with 50 per cent of the money collected going to the local senior roller derby group.

In its first year,

Falk said he and club members hope the show will turn in to an annual event.

“We’ve got a great location in the park-ing lot at [Nanaimo] North Town Centre in front of Montana’s Cookhouse,” said Falk. “There’s plenty of parking for visitors and lots of room for displaying the cars.”

Spectators are wel-come to come and view the cars and vote on their favou-rite vehicle from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

ELECTRONIC EXPERTS

Directors with the Regional Dis-trict of Nanaimo are aware that the rules around legal marijuana grow operations have changed, but they’re still unclear on what that will mean for them – and they’re looking for answers.

The issue arose at the regular board meeting last week when a Cedar resident complained

about the smell from a legal grow-op next door to her home.

Kathryn Seymour said in her presentation that she lives in an area where there are many such operations.

“The smell is very distinctive,” she said. “I’ve had many people comment on it as they drive through the area.”

Her neighbour’s legal opera-tion, she said, is one of the sources of the pungent odour.

She said she requested the per-son living there to do something about it, but was assaulted by a secondary odour used in an attempt to cover up the first.

“He’s trying to mask it, but there’s a constant and strong wind blowing our way. When the smell is bad we have to close our windows. We’ve had people complain of headaches from all-day exposure.”

Seymour noted that recently-

announced changes to the medical marijuana legislation could improve the situation but stressed that the larger opera-tions could prove to be magnets for crime – something she wants to avoid in her generally quiet neighbourhood.

She called on the RDN to set up zoning restrictions to make sure that any new operations are sited in commercial or industrial, rather than rural or

residential areas. Under the new regulations, production will no longer be allowed in homes and all municipal zoning laws will need to be respected.

Deputy board chairwoman Diane Brennan called on district staff to prepare a report on the district’s options for controlling legal marijuana grow operations, as well as the issues arising from changes to the legislation.

Jamie Anderson, an Earth sciences student, is going to use a $500 bursary from Vancouver Island University Foundation toward textbooks. The foundation saw an increase of more than $1 million from donors this year, allowing it to help more students like Anderson with the cost of post-secondary education.

By JeNN McGarriGleThe News BulleTiN

For Vancouver Island University Earth sci-ences student Jamie Anderson, every little bit of monetary help she receives is appreciated.

For the past three years, the 29-year-old received a bursary from the VIU Foundation based on a combination of academic achieve-ment and financial need. As someone depen-dent on student loans to finish her degree, each facet of help she receives means she doesn’t have to borrow quite as much.

“Any money is really good for students,” said Anderson, adding that the $500 she just received from the foundation will probably cover her books for a semester.

“It’s nice to know there are people out there who are encouraging people to do the best they can and rewarding people,” she said. “It gives you that little incentive to do better.”

For some of her peers, the foundation’s help can mean the difference between being able to attend university or not, Anderson added.

For example, a friend of hers owns a house so she is not eligible for a student loan and financial aid from the foundation helps her get by, she said.

The foundation came into existence in 1994 to manage the university’s endowment and raise money to support the institution by providing financial aid to students through scholarships, bursaries and awards.

About 900 awards are given out annu-ally and in recent years, the foundation has also been looking for donors wanting to help enhance the learning environment, whether that be new buildings, infrastructure upgrades or new learning tools, said Bruce Williams, foundation chairman.

The provincial government has changed the way post-secondary institutions are funded and less than half of the institution’s operat-ing budget now comes from government, compared with more than 80 per cent three decades ago, so the foundation is looking for other sources to support students’ ability to learn, he said.

Local philanthropist Sidney Sharman recently donated $350,000 to build a state-of-the-art nursing simulation lab on the Nanaimo campus to allow nursing students to get critical hands-on experience.

Williams said securing this type of com-munity support ensures students get the relevant, up-to-date training they need to find employment.

“Employers want to hire someone who’s up to speed, so we try as hard as we can to emu-late that,” he said. “We do everything we can to enhance students’ ability to learn.”

The institution’s wish list includes a new student centre, athletic centre and health and sciences building and the foundation hopes to help find the money needed to make these enhanced facilities a reality, said Williams.

Over the past year, the foundation has been able to reach more donors and grow annual revenues from $2.1 million to $3.2 million – an increase of more than $1 million.

Williams said the foundation not only increased the number of donors, whom he calls investors, but also increased the amount given by donors by getting the word out about the value of contributing.

The Festival of Trees annual fundraiser con-tributes a relatively small part of the founda-tion’s annual revenues at about $100,000 per year, but it makes people aware of what the foundation is doing, he said.

“By investing in the university, you’re investing in people,” said Williams. “It’s a mat-ter of showing how much we matter. If we’re going to grow our economy, we need to do it with skills.”

Regional district looks for answers to questions on legal marijuana grow ops

The first thing to keep in mind is what you are actually paying for with hearing aids. As much as half of the cost or more is for the service work of the clini-cian to assess your hearing needs, cus-tom fit you with the right product, and provide follow up care and maintenance-usually for as long as you own your hearing aids. With this in mind, consider how to choose a contractor for a home renova-tion. For starters, you want someone that has good qualifications and experi-

ence, uses quality products, and has a good reputa-tion. However, these points are meaningless if you don’t feel comfortable working with your contractor. You are paying for someone to “connect” with you, under-stand your wishes, and en-sure that the job is done right...the way you want it. To get the best deal with hearing aids, keep in mind

the contractor scenario. You are not just looking for a hear-ing aid or the cheapest price. You are looking for the clinician that you feel comfort-able working with. It is this relationship that will be the key to custom designing a sound experience that works well for your lifestyle. This brings me to why I fit hearing aids. I get great satis-faction from the opportunity to

learn the unique hearing needs of my patients. Then, I work hard to custom fit hearing aids in such a way that im-proves their quality of life. Each patient is an opportunity to get to know another unique individual. This is why I love fitting hearing aids. Call Nanaimo Hearing Clinic at 250-585-4100 to let me thoroughly assess your hearing. You can then evaluate if I would be a good fit for servicing your hearing needs! I look forward to meeting you soon!

Hearing Matters

Hanan Merrill Registered Hearing

“I’ve noticed there are more hearing clinics around these days. How do I find the best deal on hearing aids?”

Call it the Beach Blanket Bud-get.

Despite having to campaign once again to win a seat in a bye-lection, Premier Christy Clark has ordered the legislature to sit without her through most of July to pass the budget that was tabled before the election.

This rare summer session ensures a couple of things. First, there will be less time for real financial results to contradict the rosy predictions made by Finance Minister Mike de Jong in February.

Second, it ensures that there will be mini-mum public attention paid to the delibera-tions, as people focus on their summer vacations and put the business of running the province aside again.

B.C. Liberal house leader Mike de Jong insists there has been no decision made on whether the legislature will sit again in the fall. The standard schedule, put in place under former pre-mier Gordon Campbell, calls for MLAs to assemble in October and November, to consider legis-lation, after a spring devoted to the budget and ministry spend-ing. This was a serious reform that went along with four-year scheduled elections. But Camp-bell soon abandoned this noble approach, with fall sessions dwindling to a few days to deal with urgent issues or disappear-

ing altogether.I expected Clark to reverse

that after she led the party to victory in May and consigned the Campbell era to the history books. Open, accountable gov-ernment and all that.

So why the summer session? I’m inclined to agree with NDP house leader John Horgan, who

meets privately with de Jong in his role of government house leader to thrash out schedules. Here’s Hor-gan’s message to Clark and her government as he emerged from the latest meeting:

“You ran on a plat-form that you claimed you were ready to implement. And what we’re getting instead

is, ‘let’s jam ’em in here while the media’s on holidays, while people are at the beach thinking about other things. We’ll pass our bogus budget and then we’ll see you in February’.”

Is the budget accurate, or “bogus,” or somewhere in between? They’re always pro-jections, so that can’t be deter-mined until next year. But the proposal to keep the increase in overall spending to less than two per cent, with nearly all the increase going to health and education, is difficult to accept.

During his time, Campbell topped the Fraser Institute’s ranking of most fiscally respon-sible premiers, limiting spending growth to 4.4 per cent. During

those same years, average pro-vincial economic growth was only 4.1 per cent, meaning that under the supposedly tight-fisted, tax-cutting Campbell, gov-ernment continued to grow to more than 20 per cent of gross domestic product.

Clark has indicated several times since her surprise election win that she intends to make government smaller. That’s the difference between her “core review” of government pro-grams and the one conducted by Campbell in the painful first years of his mandate.

This is why I mentioned last week that one of the more sig-nificant instructions given to Clark’s cabinet ministers was to examine turning the Liquor Dis-tribution Branch into a separate corporation with its own board of directors.

That in itself may slightly increases the size of govern-ment. But it could be a prelimi-nary step to selling the whole thing off and reducing the government’s role to taxing and regulating booze sales.

You can imagine how that would go over with the NDP, with former liquor store union boss George Heyman among the loud-est opposition MLAs.

This is the kind of change that should be debated in public, not by press release.

The placing of concrete dividers on the Malahat, in areas prone to crashes, is a good step in the right direction, from a safety perspective and one of highway continuity, even as driver common sense remains paramount.

While it is critical that emergency crews be able to quickly reach drivers involved in collisions on the road, it is also imperative that at least one lane of the road remains open to keep traffic moving. There have been many calls over the years to do something to address the potential for problems and tragedy on this hilly, windy section of Highway 1 between Goldstream Park and Mill Bay. Some of those suggestions, or demands, had a snowball’s chance in Haiti of being followed through on, like the bridge and tunnel ideas.

But the one that always seemed to make the most sense – a better system of dividers – has finally been acted upon by the Ministry of Transportation.

This is the same department that spent hundreds of millions of dollars on the Inland Island Highway from Parksville to Courtenay some years back, then extended it to Campbell River, so people could rumble along at 120 kilometres per hour or more between areas that produce far less traffic than the Malahat on a daily basis.

Things are different today, and finding solutions that cost less and are more efficient uses of funds are the norm.

That said, there is and will always be the matter of driver behaviour on a road that has sustained many tragic crashes – some due to conditions, but virtually all traceable back to some level of driver error.

As on any road, we need to practise safe driving when tackling the Malahat and not let added dividers lull us into a false sense of security. Driving for the conditions is the mantra for this tricky, but very scenic and beautiful stretch of highway – that and always maintaining complete control of your vehicle.

To the Editor,Re: World continually ignores

scientists’ work at its own peril, Science Matters, June 20.

David Suzuki implied that I am a “climate-change denier.” I deny that. I am a denial denier.

The only constant about cli-mate is change.

It has been changing since the Earth formed and will con-tinue to change until the planet is eventually enveloped by the sun (then, global warming will

be a problem). Thoughtful readers will con-

clude that Suzuki’s denier label is merely an attempt to dis-credit scientists who disagree with him about the causes of climate change, instead of dis-cussing the issues they raise.

I also deny that climate sci-ence is settled. Climate experts know that the science is highly immature. We are in a period of “negative discovery,” in that the more we learn, the

more we realize we do not know. Rather than “remove the doubt,” as Al Gore tells us should be done, we must rec-ognize the doubt in this, argu-ably the most complex science ever tackled.

The confidence expressed by Gore and Suzuki is due to a belief in what professors Chris Essex (University of Western Ontario) and Ross McKitrick (University of Guelph) call the “Doctrine of Certainty.” This

doctrine is “a collection of now familiar assertions about climate that are to be accepted without question.”

Essex and McKitrick explain, “But the Doctrine is not true. Each assertion is either manifestly false or the claim to know is false. Climate is one of the most challenging open problems in modern science. Some knowledgeable scientists believe that the climate prob-lem can never be solved.”

Creating rational policy in the face of uncertainty is challeng-ing.

So we need climate experts to speak freely without fear of retribution regardless of their points of view. Suzuki must help this come about by engag-ing in constructive behaviour, not further poisoning the debate.

To the Editor,Re: Better use for tax dollars than gallery, Let-

ters, June 29.As the writer cited lack of attendance and

better use of city funding such as road and water service, the reader decrying city coun-cil’s approval of the Nanaimo Art Gallery expansion is misinformed.

I’ve been at the gallery several times where it was so packed I had to step outside to get air and space.

In no way does the art gallery take away from funding of city maintenance projects. Council has a budget for maintaining our city and for its expansion and growth as well. To expand they must ensure existing residents stay and prospective new residents and tour-ists check us out.

Nanaimo offers unparalleled beauty and first-class sports and recreation venues. But culturally, what is there to do? A lot more

than there used to be, but we must expand to take advantage of interest from Calgary, Ontario, China and countless other locations from around the world.

Art and culture is subjective, some people pay for what others pay to avoid. The trick is to offer as wide a variety of activities and venues as possible. To complain about fund-ing of a cultural activity one doesn’t enjoy is as ridiculous and selfish as demanding the demolition of the ice center because you never learned to skate.

The private and government-funded devel-opment of art and culture such as comedy, music, dance, theatre events, festivals and an expanded art gallery isn’t just good for busi-ness, it’s essential.

Last week, our city council recognized this with action, and I thank them for it.

To the Editor,As a citizen and a taxpayer

in Nanaimo I protest that the mayor and city council would offer a 10-year tax-free period to entice a developer to build a new hotel in Nanaimo.

We have enough hotels with all the facilities needed.

Just think if you were one of the hotel owners in Nanaimo and you have paid your taxes – through all the tough finan-cial times – only to find that the mayor and city council want to use your money to subsidize your competition.

My late father had it right when he said, “The city mayor and council should stick to managing the cutting of the grass and picking up the dog excrement.”

Business is and always will be beyond their comprehen-sion.

To the Editor,I note that there have been

several letters recently recom-mending the abolishment of the Senate.

The authors of these letters should look up what the Sen-ate is supposed to be doing. That is taking a sober second look at proposed legislation and recommending changes that would make the legislation more appropriate for the citi-zens of Canada to live under.

What the public in Canada desperately needs is more sen-ators who have integrity and are not Prime Minister Stephen Harper bootlickers.

I fear that Harper will take the opportunity of the Senate scandal as an excuse to try to restrict the powers of the Sen-ate, or abolish it.

Since he has stacked the majority of the Senate with his own Conservative loyalists, he does not really have to worry about them blocking any laws he wants to push through Par-liament.

It must, though, be a bother to him that he even has to have them go through the for-malities of also approving his proposed laws.

A conscientious and impartial Senate is all we have to prevent a government like Harper’s from running completely amok with no restraints at all.

I suggest that some restraint and balance was the intent of the founding fathers of our original constitution.

The Independent Investigations Office sent staff to Nanaimo after a man fell from the Bastion Street Parkade on the weekend.

The incident happened at about 2 a.m. Saturday when an RCMP officer on foot patrol found a man standing on a ledge in a parking area on Skinner Street.

When the officer announced himself, the man fell almost nine metres and sustained serious head injures.

“At this point all indications are that it’s an accidental fall,” said Owen Court, investigations office spokesman.

“Our investigation looks at exactly what level of involvement the officer had with him and exactly what the circumstances are surrounding his fall.”

The investigations officer was notified at 3:40 a.m. and investi-gators were sent to Nanaimo at 6:30 a.m.

“Over the course of the week-end his condition did improve,” Court said.

“That’s the good-news part right now, that he appears to be recovering. I’m not going to say recovered, but significant improvement.”

The Vancouver Island Health Authority’s dedication to workplace safety was recog-nized once again.

VIHA brought home two awards from the recent Health Employers Association of B.C.’s Excellence in B.C. Healthcare Awards.

Its Violence Prevention Task Force was recognized for workplace health innova-tion, marking the fourth year in a row the health authority has received kudos for work-place safety.

As well, Allison Cutler, executive director for popu-lation and community health, earned an HEABC Gold Apple in the regional Health Care Hero category.

The awards recognize the efforts of healthcare employ-ees who provide quality care and support, and acknowl-edge excellence and innova-tion in healthcare throughout the province.

“We are very proud of the innovative work done by our Violence Prevention Task Force to protect all patients and staff, and the leadership of Allison Cutler whose pas-sion for providing quality care at the community level continues to benefit patients

in our region,” said Don Hub-bard, chairman of Vancouver Island Health.

The Task Force team was commissioned to develop comprehensive policies across the region to consis-tently handle workplace vio-lence.

Its stakeholder engagement strategy provided feedback from 80 frontline clinical staff within the health authority.

The result is a set of policies that provide practical tools to support staff and leaders to achieve a safe work envi-ronment for everyone.

Cutler began her career 35 years ago as a public health nurse in Terrace, B.C., gain-ing insight into how health needed to be delivered at the community level.

Her accomplishments include leading integrated primary and community care across Vancouver Island, heading the development of the Nanaimo Regional Gen-eral Hospital’s new perinatal unit, and establishing youth clinics across central and north Vancouver Island.

Tea, a book exchange and the kombucha craze are all on the menu at next month’s Tea Salon at the Painted Turtle Guest House.

Kelli Etheridge, a registered holistic nutritionist student at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition, discusses

kombucha, a yeast-bacterial colony fermenting in a tea and sugar solution.

“As we begin to recognize the nutritional shortfalls of the modern diet, we are motivated to look back at traditional food practices for information and inspiration,”

said Etheridge. “[Kombucha] is loaded with probiotic good-ness, vitamins and enzymes. Brewing it yourself is reward-ing – you are co-creating with other living creatures.”

The Tea Salon is Sunday (July 7) from 2:30-4 p.m. at the Painted Turtle, 121 Bastion St.

No more pencils, no more books …

School is out for summer and it’s an exciting time for chil-dren and many are looking forward to spending more time outdoors.

So the Insurance Corporation of British

Columbia is asking drivers and parents to help keep kids safe on our roads during the summer months.

In 2012, 48 child pedestrians (ages five to 12) were injured in 47 incidents.

“We want kids to enjoy their summer which is why we’re asking drivers to slow down and watch out for them, espe-cially around parks and playgrounds,”

said John Dickinson, ICBC’s director of road safety. “Parents should also take this opportunity to review the rules of the road with their children to help keep them safe.”

Tips for driversIt’s all mixed up –

During the last few days of school, stu-dents may be arriv-ing or leaving school at var ying t imes throughout the day. When school is in ses-

sion, a 30-km/h school zone speed limit is in effect between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. During the summer months, speed limits in school zones are only in ef fect i f summer school is in session, but kids often still play around these areas, so drive cau-tiously at all times.

Kids all around –Drivers aren’t used to seeing crowded play-grounds and parks during the day but this all changes in summer. Remember playground speed l imits (30 km/h) remain in effect year-round. When driving around playgrounds and parks, observe carefully. Small chil-dren are less predict-able and harder to see than adults.

Watch for clues – In residential areas, a hockey net or ball can mean that chil-dren are playing nearby. Remember that a child could dash into the street at any moment. Pay attention and always anticipate the unex-pected.

Tips for parents to share with children

Be a role model – Parents are the No. 1 role model for their children so make sure to set a good example when teaching them about pedestrian safety. If a child sees a parent jaywalking, they will think it is okay to do and will do the same thing. Make sure to teach a child to cross at inter-sections that have a pedestrian cross-ing light or a marked crosswalk whenever possible.

Have fun – Make road safety fun.

Still treat road safety as a serious issue, but for younger children try a game by having them point out all the traffic signs. Ask if they know what they mean.

For older children, remind them to put away their phones and remove their headphones when crossing the road.

Focus on the basics – Kids will digest informa-tion about serious issues

when it’s kept simple and relevant. Therefore, begin pedestrian safety les-sons with the key basics that you learned as a kid, which are still relevant today.

A great example is how to cross at intersections: Stop – Before crossing, always stop at the curb. Make sure all vehicles have stopped; Look – Look left and right for oncoming vehicles. Then look again over shoulders for vehi-

cles that might be turning. Teach kids to keep looking for approaching vehicles as they cross; Listen – Lis-ten for approaching traf-fic that you can’t yet see; Make eye contact – Even if the walk signal is on, teach children to make eye con-tact with drivers before they cross; Walk – Teach children to walk, never run, when crossing a road.

Artistic journeyBY RACHEL STERN

THE NEWS BULLETIN

Arts Alive organizers want to take children on a creative excursion into the world of art.

The annual summer camp starts Monday (July 8) and runs until July 26. The main focus of Arts Alive is young children but there are also courses for older teens and adults.

When the organization was cre-ated 28 years ago there weren’t many opportunities for children to get involved in arts activities in the summer, but that has changed over the years, said Michael Wright, Arts Alive administrator.

The focus is fun.

“You don’t have to turn out a per-fect piece of art it’s not a pressured environment. It’s about having fun,” said Wright.

He believes it’s absolutely essen-tial that kids get exposure to the arts. Wright said he doesn’t know where he would be if he wasn’t exposed to art at an early age. He was introduced to music when he was two years old and he plays jazz and big band music. He is also involved in a number of artistic organizations in the community.

This year the organization is intro-ducing bundling. It allows families to register children for morning and afternoon courses so they are at camp a full day.

Wright said Arts Alive listened to

parent’s concern about not being able to register children if courses were only half a day.

“This was done specifically to respond to parent’s requests,” said Wright. “We put in a lot of effort to make courses longer or alterna-tively bundling them.”

Week one courses are Monday (July 8) to July 12. Week two courses are July 15-19. Week three courses are July 22-26. The organization also offers day camps. Courses include watercolours, mixed media, musi-cal theatre, guitar basics, singing essentials and others.

For more information about courses please go to http://nanaimoartsalive.com.

[email protected]

SUMMER CLASSES are available this July in various fine arts disciplines including art, drama and music through Arts Alive. There are weekly courses or one day workshops for children, youth and adults.

By Rachel SteRnthe news bulletin

Musicians are rocking out for a good cause Saturday (July 6).

Performers are raising money for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Vancouver Island during We Wrawk for Kids, 2-5 p.m., at Headliners School of Performing Arts, located at 2231 McGarrigle Rd.

Admission is by donation and the event features per-formances by Camille Miller, Pat Stewart, Murray Atkin-son, Lance Lapointe, Mikaila Tombe, Rock-It Chorus and two Headliners Rock School bands. There will also be a barbecue, prizes, a silent auc-tion and activities for children including face painting and a dress-up station.

Miller said she’s been want-ing to perform an all-ages con-cert for a long time and when the opportunity to partner with Manda Chelmak, Head-liners School of Performing Arts program director, came up they both worked hard to make it happen.

Big Brothers Big Sisters is an organization Miller has supported in the past. Dur-ing her recent Pledge Music campaign to create her fifth album, Parallel to The Sea, Miller donated any money pledged beyond her goal to the organization. She said it’s because she believes in the importance of having the organization.

“Kids need an outlet. They need someone to listen to them. They need to know that whatever they are thinking, no matter how crazy it sounds, that it is valid,” said Miller.

She said that some single parents don’t have as much

time to spend with their kids and share ideas because of work and it’s important for young teens to feel that they have someone to talk to about what they are going through.

“The community creates an extended family by having an organization like this,” she said.

Miller is currently record-ing her sixth album. Her fifth

album was influenced by motherhood and she shared stories of her pregnancy and caring for new life.

BY GREG SAKAKITHE NEWS BULLETIN

The Victoria Shamrocks got the better of the Nanaimo Timber-men in a game where push came to shove.

The rival teams met in Western Lacrosse Association action on Saturday night at Frank Crane Arena and the visitors won 15-9 in a feisty affair.

The game didn’t get lopsided until the third period, as the Coastal Windows Timbermen closed out the second period on a 4-0 run to deadlock the score at 8-8 through 40 minutes.

“A tough one to swallow tonight because we were right there,” said Cayle Ratcliff, T-men alternate captain.

Saturday’s matchup was the most physical and chippy of the season so far, as the teams had a couple of fights and also took turns running the opponent’s goalie.

“We don’t like each other so we’re going to battle and it’s going to be a physical game,” said Ratcliff.

Saturday’s turning point came early in the third period. After some good penalty killing by Nanaimo on a five-on-three, the Timbermen got a power play and surrendered three shorthanded goals.

“We have to be better on the raggers,” said Kaleb Toth, Tim-bermen coach. “We can’t give up three short-handed goals in one shift and it comes down to simple

things, guys just not doing what they do, not cross-checking.”

The quick goals got the T-men off their game and they let the Shamrocks spin off checks and get prime shooting lanes.

“We have to contest them, we have to hit them, we have to make sure that we’re always keeping them busy,” Toth said. “It’s as simple as putting your stick on theirs.”

One of the frustrating aspects of Saturday’s loss for the T-men was that losing those one-on-one battles and the races for loose balls had them questioning their effort.

“With our team there’s no excuses for being outworked and we were outworked tonight,” Ratcliff said.

He led the way with four goals for the T-men, Cody Bremner had two goals and three assists and Myles Dennett scored a pair. Blake Kenny added a goal and three assists. Zak Boychuk suf-fered the loss and Paul Brebber and Braden Kmita had fights.

Jeff Shattler had four goals for the Shamrocks, Corey Small had three goals and three help-ers and Rhys Duch scored twice. Scott Ranger missed the game due to injury.

Toth said the Timbermen would address their mistakes at Tuesday’s practice and then try to forget about the game.

“All you can do is put it behind you and practise hard … and try to be better for the next game,” he said. “And that’s what I hope we do.”

GAME ON … The Timbermen (4-8) play the Maple Ridge Bur-rards (6-4) on Saturday (July 6) at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena.

GREG SAKAKI/THE NEWS BULLETIN

Deep breathNanaimo White Rapids swimmer Andrew MacLeod races in the 50-metre freestyle event during the club’s annual invitational meet on Saturday evening at Bowen Park’s Kin Pool. The three-day meet attracted some 350 athletes from the Island and the mainland.

The Nanaimo Coal Miners are armed and ready.

The Cross and Co. Coal Min-ers senior men’s baseball team will try again this week-end to play its home openers at Serauxmen Stadium.

After scheduling problems scuttled games last month, the Miners are hoping to host the Burnaby Bulldogs on Sat-urday (July 6) and then Burn-aby Collegiate on Sunday.

The Coal Miners have had some problems with roster numbers this season, but one area where they’re all set is the pitching staff.

Steve McKinnon, a former Texas Rangers prospect, is hoping to get in some innings this summer.

“He’s got phenomenal stuff,” said Dale Ballance, Coal Min-ers player/manager. “He’s pol-ished, he throws hard, he’s got great stuff and you just want to give him an opportunity to get his work in because he wants to continue [playing].”

Ballance said another addi-tion to the staff, Bryan Paw-

lina, is competitive and com-ing off a strong season with the UBC Thunderbirds.

Jay Huggins, who can play at first or third, is another good pickup and returning veterans who will hit in the middle of the order include Ben Cairns and Jeff Vickers.

“We always start off slow with our bats and it usually seems to be [Canada Day] weekend when we seem to turn things around a little bit…” Ballance said.

“We’ve still got some guys in the lineup that can swing the bat.”

GAME ON … Saturday and Sunday’s games at Serauxmen Stadium start at noon and 2:30 p.m. Admission is free.

Last-second goalBrad Morgan, left, of the Nanaimo Timbermen grand masters team, scores with one second left in the second period against Kitimat Alcan on Saturday at the Nanaimo Ice Centre during the Western Canadian Masters Box Lacrosse Cham-pionships.

The Acme Timbermen have had a break in the schedule, but they’re about to get back at it, in a big way.

The Nanaimo Acme Painting Timbermen play back-to-back games Saturday (July 6) and Sunday against their two toughest foes. The T-men visit the Tri-City Bandits and then host the Ladner Pioneers the next night. The senior B Timbermen (8-2) have lost to the Bandits (7-3) once and the Pioneers (8-1) once this season. Nanaimo lost 14-10 to Tri-City in their most recent West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association action, and fell 9-4 to Ladner back in May on the road.

GAME ON … Note that Sunday’s game against the Pioneers will be played at Frank Crane Arena, not at the Nanaimo Ice Centre. Game time is 5 p.m.

Timbermen play tough teams

Nanaimo’s top lawn bowler won’t just be playing for himself, or his teammate, but also for two big fans.

Hirendra Bhartu won the Bowls B.C. men’s pairs championship last month, teaming with West Vancouver’s Tim Mason to take gold in Victoria and earn a berth at nation-als. Bhartu and Mason won a national cham-pionship in men’s pairs in 2006 but hadn’t been playing together in recent summers. Then West Van got awarded the national tournament and Mason signed on as the event’s chairman and invited his parents to come from Ontario to watch.

“[They] are very enthusiastic about bowls…” said Bhartu. “So I said, ‘Hmm. It would be nice if we could play.’”

The two friends gave it another go at pro-vincials and succeeded, winning all but one game and finishing with a convincing vic-tory in the final. Bhartu said it was a good feeling to win, and said it wasn’t difficult to get used to bowling with Mason again.

“It was easy because me and Tim are bud-dies,” he said. “Though we haven’t bowled [lately], the chemistry is never a problem.”

Nationals will be held Aug. 18-24.

Lawn bowler adds B.C. title

Low-scoring Pirates sweptThe Nanaimo Pirates keep running into the

same problem lately.The Hub City Paving Pirates baseball team

didn’t get timely hits to support their pitch-ers, and they got swept by the Abbotsford Cardinals on the road on Saturday.

Nanaimo lost 1-0 in extra innings and then dropped the rematch 3-2.

The eighth-inning loss in the opener spoiled a great outing from starting pitcher Luke Skingle, who threw 7 2/3 innings, allow-ing one run and striking out four. Alex Rog-ers led the Pirates at the plate, going 2-for-3.

The next game the Pirates had eight hits, twice as many as the Cards, but they still came out on the wrong end on the score-board. Starter Alex Rogers went six innings, allowing four hits and one earned run while striking out six. Zach Diewert was 2-for-2 at the dish with two walks, Shawn Arabsky was 2-for-4 and Braeden Mousseau had a hit and two walks.

GAME ON … The premier Pirates hosted the Parksville Royals on Wednesday after press time and travel to play the North Delta Blue Jays on Sunday (July 7).

B4 Nanaimo News Bulletin Thursday, July 4, 2013 SPORTS www.nanaimobulletin.com

It’s onto the hardwood this week, as we catch up on news from the world of bas-ketball.

At the professional level, to nobody’s surprise, NBA playoffs concluded recently with another title for the talent-laden Miami Heat.

Full credit to the San Antonio Spurs for pushing the Heat to a final and deciding Game 7.

But in that decid-ing game it was 95-88 for Miami for their second-straight champion-ship, and a second-straight MVP award for LeBron James.

Much less predictable, and perhaps just as entertaining, were the playoffs for bantam (born 1999-2000) boys’ and girls’ basketball teams in

local elementary schools this year.

We’ll start with girls’ results this week, first from larger schools with a population of more than 275 students. Melissa Kristiansen coordi-nated the league, and sends word that 15 teams took part in post-season playoffs.

Eventually earning the title of district champions in

those playoffs were the girls represent-ing Rutherford Ele-mentary. Members of the winning team were Cara Dunlop, Robyn Van Zyl, Shayesteh Foulad-gar, Leigh Hanika, Reeth Kahlon, Brianne Knowles, Aween Masmoor, Niamh Murphy, Jes-sica Ory, Taylor Pat-enaude and Katie

Brown. Coaches for the champion-

ship team were Walter Fields and Wes Pascoe, with Nico-lette Zuydervelt the sponsor.

Runners-up were the squad from Randerson Ridge. Coached by Gary Gribling

and Barry French, team mem-bers were Mady East, Carly Maley, Julia DeWolfe, Lindsay O’Donnell, Shirin Anjarwalla, Shayla Frinton, Aila Thomp-son, Deyana Stephenson, Olivia Martin Blois, Elizabeth Ramey, Sophia Sung, Sophie Scobie, Nicole Briggs, Chris-tina Harry, Jessica Harry, Katelin Munn, Priya Ramash, Cailyn Pady and Lana Her-ringer.

In the consolation final, Georgia Avenue got past Pleasant Valley to claim third place.

Chris Pagan coached Georgia Avenue’s roster of Elizabeth Duerden, Kaelyn Brill, Morgan Puglas, Shali-mar Joe, Raven McDonald, Laurissa Yake, Kimmie Bui, Brandi Quezance, Hanna Lyle, Kylene Graham, Krysta McGuffie, and Emily Dinh.

Pleasant Valley players were Georgia Wheat, Ashlynn Manson, Jordyn Clement, Makenna Yoxall, Zoe Saun-ders, Cassidy Parulsai, and Mieka Blokker. Coaching the girls was Jeannette Clement, with Donna Gannon the staff sponsor.

Mike Lundine was the coor-dinator for the bantam girls’ league for teams from smaller elementary schools.

Playoffs involving 12 teams concluded with Bayview claiming a narrow win over Pauline Haarer for first place.

Representing Bayview were players Ainsley Allan, Ashiel Marshall, Chaelee Jones, Chelsie Seward-Peall, Chey-anne Jones, Isosceles Knight, Kaitlyn McMahon-White, Maddie Crichton, Maliasha Thorne-Seward, Megan August, Natasha Ladouceur, and Wanda Touchie.

Jennifer White coached the team, and staff sponsors were Jennifer Stringer and Heather Chapman.

Dave O’Sullivan coached the runner-up Pauline Haarer group, comprised of players Jessica Johnson, O-Lin Metz, Jenna Falkenberg, Sarah Kirk-hope, Madeleine Thorkels-son, Rachel Harding, Tasia MacMillan, Erin O’Sullivan, and Isabella Rule.

Christiane Phaneuf, assisted by Natalie Fletcher, Alan Richardson, and Ravah Clermont, coached the Ecole

Oceane team to a third-place finish.

On the court were play-ers Melodie Dolbec, Claudia Fletcher, Gabrielle Gilbert, Coral Brouard-Bennie, Pebbles Clermont, Maggie Giordano, Jennah Goguillot, Rowena Blais and Gabrielle Belanger.

The fourth-place pennant in girls’ basketball playoffs for small schools went to Davis Road Elementary.

A huge bouquet of thanks to Country Grocer on Bowen Road for allowing the Brass Knuckle Derby Dames and Candy Crushers to do a hot dog sale at your store. It’s businesses like yours that allow our teams to thrive and we appreciate your support.

An AnnuAl bouquet to the people who maintain beautiful front gardens and lawns. You are great ambassadors for Nanaimo.

A bouquet to assistant editor Chris Hamlyn. Thank you for years of reporting with great integrity, diligence, wit, and accuracy. Your high standard of professionalism will be missed in Nanaimo. Best wishes on your new endeavours.

A big Forget-Me-not bouquet to the very patient technicans at Shaw (especially to Ian, from Nanaimo). I appreciate your help, and for not feeling stupid after the plug to my modem became disconnected. I thought it was because we had a power cut.

A bouquet to the swimmer in the white cap who moved from the fast lane into the medium lane when he realized he wasn’t as quick as the other swimmers in the lane. Thanks for following the rules and demonstrating proper pool etiquette.

A bouquet of stoplights to the drivers at St. George Street and the Island Highway Wednesday evening. The lights were blinking due to a power outage and everybody knew exactly how to handle it. Well done.

A big hAnd for the two Royal Paving employees who saved a

coworker’s life last week by doing CPR for more than 20 minutes while waiting for the EMTs to arrive.

A bouquet to the young guy who works in the Wal-Mart dry foods department. Always very friendly and helpful every time I’m in there.

A FrAgrAnt bouquet oF wildFlowers to John Young and the other teachers at Dover Bay Secondary School who run the Outdoors Club. Thank you for all the time and effort you devote to snowshoe and hiking adventures so that students can experience the wonders of nature.

A generositY bouquet. My friend and I decided to take our labradoodle for a walk down Bay Street. We met a very nice couple working in their garden in the front yard. We complimented them regarding their beautiful hanging plants. They invited us to their backyard which was gorgeous. Between the flowers was a rhubarb plant that I noticed. The lady asked if I would like some – living in a condo, I was ecstatic. She left the rhubarb on the front step and when we returned from our walk from the ocean we picked up the rhubarb. I made rhubarb crisp and my husband is still smacking his lips.

A thoughtFul bouquet. After we continued walking down the hill on Bay Street, we met two senior ladies who were walking up the hill. We had a lovely conversation discussing the fact that it is a long way up the hill. All of a sudden a young man appeared with two chairs and said, “Have a seat and rest ladies and I will pick up the

chairs later.” This young gentleman deserves a great big bouquet for being so thoughtful.

A bouquet to Travis and his team at Kal Tire on Old Victoria Road for fixing my flat tire without an appointment and quickly. And for not trying to sell me something I didn’t need.

big bouquets oF rAinbows for David Haughton from Telus for his friendly, professional and efficient service when installing our landline for our new house in Nanaimo. Haughton called before our appointment to remind me (I had forgotten) and to ask me if I would like to add any further services to my account. I was very impressed and would highly recommend him in any of his endeavours.

A bouquet oF roses to Scott from The Buzz coffee shop who chased after a motorhome that backed into my car in a north-end parking lot and took off. He caught up to the culprit in another parking lot, took pictures and got all of the necessary information, then returned to where I was parked and waited an hour for me so that he could pass on this information. A knight in shining armour.

A bouquet oF thAnks to Pryde Vista Golf Course for the two free passes that they gave us for

our 10th annual Family Tournament held in June. They were given as a prize and were much appreciated.Also a huge bouquet of flowers to Kelsey for cooking a ham and roast beef and making and decorating two cakes. Thanks a bunch.

A grAduAtion gown bouquet to all those parents who have raised Honour Students in our community. You should be proud. That is what you have done lately.

A thAnk You bouquet to Chad Green of Swale Rock Fishing Charter for an amazing Nanaimo fishing adventure. After seven years of living in Nanaimo I finally got a chance to fish for salmon and eat beautiful fresh crab. Will do next year for sure.

A heAlthY bouquet to the doctors, nurses and other employees in our hospital’s emergency for their excellent caring for their patients.

A big dAncing And druMMing bouquet of thanks to all who gave their support in so many ways to our fourth annual Bellydance Bazaar. Together we raised $2,000 for Haven Society. Thanks everyone.

MAnY thAnks to Lorne Roelefson and his staff at Classic Care Carpets. He has been in

business for many years in this city and has had almost no staff turnover because he is a great employer and provides a wonderful carpet cleaning service. We use him for our home and business and recommend him to all we know. We love our clean carpets.

A thAnk You For Your considerAtion bouquet to the neighbours who let us know about the wedding party and the loud music. The music was great and everything was quiet at the time you said. Very best wishes to the happy couple.

A beeF to the people on Crystal Place with the two yappy dogs that bark from 6 a.m. until 11:30 p.m. Give us a break.

beeFs oF injustice to Nanaimo city council. There are many schools, seniors complexes, residential homes and businesses that are not going to be able to withstand an earthquake. Tear all those down and rebuild if you are concerned about safety.

A broken phone beeF to the man who video taped his neighbor being carried away on a stretcher. His young wife was terrified. Did you not have the decency to see if she was OK?

A beeF to the writer who wants to see more young women in short shorts. It’s people like you who motivate me to wear capris and baggy shorts all summer – I don’t like to be stared at.

A beeF to the person who threw a tin can in the garbage rather than make the effort to recycle. Don’t you listen to the environmentalists? The world is already going to hell and you insist on hastening its descent.

A big pile of rancid rabbit pellets to whoever stole the rabbits from the 4-H Beban Barnyard. One has to wonder what kind of sick person would steal a mother rabbit and her baby bunnies from a children’s petting farm.

Mildred CassMildred Cass, 89, of Nanaimo BC passed peacefully from this world to go home to her Lord on June 20, 2013, at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. Born December 16, 1923

on the farm near Drayton, Ontario she is predeceased by her parents, Mabel and Levi Flewwelling; sister, Ila Flewwelling; son, Donald Cass in 1991; and late husband of 62 years, Joseph Cass.Mildred was a dedicated and loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. After graduating as a Registered Nurse in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario in 1945 she ventured west to Vancouver Island. She and Joseph were married in 1949, they lived in many island towns and settled in Nanaimo, eventually enjoying many years in their dream home, “The Cassa Grande” at Piper’s Lagoon. Mildred worked as a Registered Nurse at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. She was an avid bridge player and developed many close and lasting friendships with her “ Ladies of the Afternoon.”Mildred will be missed by her son, Alan (Leslie) Cass; daughters, Kathryn (John) Cass, Carolyn (Kirk) Coleman; sisters, Gladys Grey of Nanaimo BC, Lorene Bosomworth of Elmira Ontario; brother, John (Noreen) Flewwelling of Mississauga, Ontario; grandchildren: Jennifer (Kyle), Steven (Nicole), Daniel, Kelsey, Eliza and Jesse; great grandchildren, Brody and Kaden; as well as many nieces, nephews and good friends.The family wishes to extend their gratitude, for the wonderful care provided to Mom, by the staff at Kiwanis Lodge and NRGH. A celebration of Mildred’s life will be held at Brechin United Church, 1998 Estevan Rd, Nanaimo, BC on Sunday, July 7, 2013 at 3:00 pm. Reception will follow.In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation or charity of choice.

McKINNONGuy Darwin1935 ~ 2013

Guy was born in Oak Bay, Quebec, October 8, 1935 and passed away June 24, 2013. He is survived by his loving wife of 43 years, Glenna; sister, Sunseerie in the U.S., Keli (Ray) of Campbell River; six grandchildren: Dax, Savannah, Cody, Courtney, Grace and Lindsey, as well as many nieces and nephews.

Guy served in the R.C.A.F. For 10 years, worked in management A.M.A. Edmonton, and opened McKinnon Driving School & Safety Services in 1974. In 1980 he moved the family to Nanaimo, BC and worked in sales. In 1991 we moved to Gabriola and planned to travel in the winter and live in our 5th wheel all year round. He found out a few years later he would have to go on dialysis, which he started in 2000. Meantime, he built our home and enjoyed the beaches, campfires, carving, view of the ocean and incredible sunsets. Guy also enjoyed hunting and fishing. In 2002 we relocated back to Nanaimo so it would make having his treatments more convenient; he lived on dialysis 13 years. When his health started to fail, he made the courageous decision to quit the treatments; he survived 6 days. When we saw him sleeping so peacefully and free of pain, we could not wish him back to suffer any more.

A special thanks to all the wonderful nurses and staff at the Estevan Dialysis Clinic, to Dr. Booth who was so kind and caring, Dr. Weir of Victoria, family and friends, and Aimee.

At Guy's request there will be no service. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Kidney Foundation or Muscular Dystrophy Canada would be appreciated.

ENNS Mildred Constance

March 25, 1929 - June 28, 2013It is with great sadness that the family of Mildred Enns announces the passing of our Mother, Sister, Grandmother and Friend on Friday, June 28th at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital.

Mildred is survived by husband, Peter; daughter, Donna; son, Bob (Linda); sister, Eleanor and grandchildren, Curtis (Ginette) and Jennifer (Geoff), and their mother, Hazel and four great grandchildren.

Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Mildred met and married Peter. They raised their family to appreciate the outdoors with many fun-filled camping trips and family excursions. A terrific cook, talented artist and avid gardener, these are just a few of the many talents we have learned from her. In 1988, Mom and Dad began their second great adventure together, to join their daughter and move to Nanaimo. Here they met many new friends and spent much of their retirement discovering Vancouver Island’s many wonderful hideaways.

Loved ones and friends of Mildred are invited to join us at the Brechin United Church in Nanaimo, Wednesday, July 10th at 2:00 p.m. for services. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Arthritis Society.
