Students learn their own way
BY JENN MCGARRIGLETHE NEWS BULLETIN
There is an order and calm-ness about Marcy Boudreaus Grade 1 classroom at Uplands Park Elementary School that seems out of place for a room about to contain 20-odd six-year-olds.
Curtains cover student cub-byholes, the walls are free of the usual riot of colourful post-ers competing for ones atten-tion, beige paper covers up walls, binders and filing boxes, and the lighting is soft, coming from a series of lamps rather than the fluorescent tubes overhead.
The students file in and, without prompting from the teacher, hang up their jackets in their cubby holes, drop off their homework in a bin by the back door and head toward their desks.
As they have a quick snack, the students begin working on the morning message up on the overhead projector this morn-ing, the message reads: When my engine runs high, I can, and it is up to students to finish the sentence.
One boy is not ready to sit down and copy out the mes-sage; the education assistant has him doing jumping jacks at the back of the classroom. There is another student using a teepee set up behind the desks; a third student uses a standing desk to write; a fourth
has a stretchy band and a roller under his desk to keep his feet occupied while he does his work.
After the morning message comes circle time on the carpet in the back corner of the room. Some children sit on stools or little carpets and the teacher goes around handing out items like disposable coffee stir sticks for the children to chew on, squeeze balls and stuffed animals.
Boudreau speaks quietly she doesnt need to shout over a hum of talking students like she might have had to in the past and the morning routine of helping her students deter-mine what they need to do so that they can learn begins.
Each student has a paper car they place in slots on a chart under one of three headings low, high or just right.
One child who places his car in the low spot, explains that his engine is running low because he is feeling tired.
I still think youre going to be able to learn because youre lis-tening, Boudreau tells him.
One by one, the students discuss why their engines are running too low or too high tummy pains, an exciting play date after school, a family trip and what to do to get in that just right state to learn chewing on a stir stick, knead-ing Silly Putty or sitting in the teepee.

Dealing with destructionRick Kwasnecha, Nanaimo Fire Rescue fire prevention officer, picks through the charred, soggy remains of a home destroyed by fire at the corner of Milton and Albert streets. Firefighters found the 100-year-old house fully involved in flames when they arrived Thursday at about 8 p.m. A female ten-ant was not home at the time of the blaze and no one was injured. Kwasne-cha, who is investigating what sparked the fire, said the wood interior fuelled the rapid spread of the blaze through the structure, which is not salvageable.
Delays threaten Nanoose project
BY JOHN HARDINGBLACK PRESS
Delays in the Regional District of Nanaimos zoning-approval process may force the owners of a project thats receiv-ing unprecedented pub-lic support to walk away from their Nanoose Bay plans, says the presi-dent of the Fairwinds Community Association.
It has been going so slowly, the investors have begun to consider their options, said Gerry Thompson. We think it could be going a lot quicker I think we are at a critical stage.
More than 200 people attended a meeting May 9 in Nanoose Bay to ask questions about the zoning of project, which Fairwinds has said would start with a sea-side village develop-ment at Schooner Cove.
On October 25, 2011 the RDN board of direc-tors adopted two sepa-rate Official Community Plan amendment bylaws to integrate the Lakes District and Schooner Cove Neighbourhood Plans into the Nanoose Bay OCP.
The Schooner Cove plan allows for shops, a full-service marina, pedestr ian-oriented public open spaces and a maximum of 360 condo units. The Lakes District Neighbourhood Plan includes a maximum of 1,675 single dwell-ing and multi-dwelling residential units, which represents the remain-ing balance of the 2,500 dwelling units permitted in the OCP for what the RDN calls the Fairwinds Urban Containment Boundary.
Thompson said mem-bers of his association are not pleased with the pace at which regional
distr ict staf f have worked on this file.
There has been vir-tually no closure on major issues regarding the zoning, he said. The level of support for this proposal has been unprecedented. The support is solid it has not deteriorated over time. Its a popular project.
Thompson said resi-dents are in favour of the development for a num-ber of reasons, including improved access to the waterfront, local shop-ping opportunities that will reduce the reliance on automobiles and the amount of employment and general economic benefit.
Further delays could effectively poison the investment cl imate (in Nanoose Bay) for decades to come, he said.
George Holm, RDN director for Nanoose Bay, said last week he believes the hold-up is with the provincial Min-istry of Transportation.
Before any zoning can be approved, the min-istry must sign off on the developers plans to have roads and side-walks that are more nar-row than whats consid-ered standard, he said.
Geoff Garbutt, RDN general manager of stra-tegic and community development, said the application is compli-cated and time consum-ing and they are working as effectively as they can.
The plan right now is to have the first read-ing of zoning bylaws in front of the RDN board in November and, if the bylaws pass first and second readings, a pub-lic hearing in January, 2014.
Purchasing program saves district cashBY JENN McGARRIGLE
THE NEWS BULLETIN
A new purchasing system has paid off for Nanaimo school dis-trict to the tune of thousands of dollars in rebates over the past four years.
In February 2009, the district began giving purchasing cards, which are accepted the same way as a credit card, to employees who regularly make purchases on behalf of the district.
More than 300 P-cards are in use in the district, some of which are team cards that allow school
employees to use them on field trips and other activities. Employ-ees are required to fill out some paperwork to use the cards and an internal audit process ensures that the cards are used appropri-ately.
Phil Turin, secretary-treasurer, said prior to this program the dis-trict had a purchasing program with a U.S. bank, but fewer people had cards and many employees made purchases on their personal credit cards and then were reim-bursed by the district.
With the previous program, the district did not get a rebate, but
the new program with the Bank of Montreal is a government pur-chasing program that gives out rebates based on the amount the district spends.
Last year, the district received more than $54,000 and Turin esti-mates that by the end of 2013, the district will have received just under $200,000 in rebates for belonging to this new program, he said.
The program has also saved the district time as it has reduced the need to process invoices and issue cheques.

School finances show an upturnBY JENN McGARRIGLE
THe NewS BuLLeTIN
Nanaimo school district could end the year with more money in the bank than expected.
Between March and April, estimated surplus funds have grown by more than $900,000 from about $1.78 million to $2.7 million, said Phil Turin, secretary-trea-surer, a change he attributes to having more actual expense and revenue numbers to work with, rather than the projections staff start the year off with.
As we get closer to the end of the year, we get to be more finite and exact in our estimations, he said. Were still being con-servative, but weve only got two months left in the year.
Of the $2 million in savings identified by staff to help balance next years budget, $1.5 million is coming out of this $2.7-million surplus.
Turin said of the remaining $1.2 mil-lion, some will be restricted to spend on certain programs and
areas, but hes hop-ing at least $500,000 of it will be available to help balance the 2014-15 budget.
Trustees recently approved the 2013-14 budget in which staff had to find $4.7 mil-lion in savings to bal-ance the books the $2 million mentioned above and a further $2.7 million through cuts to programs and services and ear-lier this year, Turin forecasted a shortfall of $7 million for the 2014-15 budget.
He said the extra $922,000 in surplus funds is due to more international stu-dents than expected; transferring some teaching salaries from the operating budget to a special fund given to districts to address issues with classroom size and composi-tion the learning improvement fund as the fund must be spent by the end of the year; more money from the province for a higher number of distance learners than anticipated; and fewer expenditures for teachers-on-call than estimated.

The city wants to hear ideas from the public to help prepare a master plan for the future of Beban Park.
This year marks the 60th anni-versary of the citys purchase of the Beban estate in 1953. In six decades the park has undergone numerous changes and continues its evolution.
City staff are planning for increasing demand on the park from a growing population over the next 20 years and are looking for input from the public, such as why users visit the park, ways to improve the park and services and what features and services should be maintained.
Interviews with park licence holders such the Beban Park Golf
Course and the Vancouver Island Exhibition, user groups and staff will be conducted until early June.
Park visitors will also be can-vassed through a survey, available online or in hard copy.
Two public input sessions are also scheduled at Beban Park Social Centre for June 4, 4-9 p.m. and at Bebans Altrusa Playground June 8, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
To complete the online survey, please visit the survey website at http://cnan.ca/11Tww5U or visit the City of Nanaimo website at www.nanaimo.ca and enter Beban Park Master Plan in the website search box.
For more information about Nanaimo parks, recreation and culture, please call 250-756-5200.

Money raised will be used for Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring pro-grams across the central Island.

Legionnaires in L a n t z v i l l e h a v e started the fund-raising campaign to finance construction of a permanent ceno-taph on public land.
The Royal Cana-dian Legion Seaview Centennial Branch 257 has been work-ing for about a year to get to the point where it can start gathering the $150,000 necessary to build a permanent cenotaph in Huddle-stone Park at the corner of Lantzville and Huddlestone roads.
The branch cur-rently holds its Remembrance Day ceremonies at a small cairn on its property at Lantz-ville School Road.
The current ceno-taph isnt really a
cenotaph, said Jim McEwan, fundrais-ing committee chair-man. Its a legion marker. It has Royal Canadian Legion engraved on the concrete and its on private property.
Wel l , two or three generations down the road who knows if the legion is going to be there, if the legion has to go somewhere or
change its location.McEwan said about
2,000 people turn out every Remembrance Day to honour the sacrifices made in wars fought by Cana-dians and legion members believe that legacy should continue forever.
The branch is call-ing upon businesses, service organiza-tions, social agen-cies, sports clubs,
schools and the gen-eral public to help host fundraising events and activi-ties to build the new cenotaph.
The land at Hud-dlestone Park was donated by the Dis-trict of Lantzville.
For more informa-tion or to donate to the project, please call McEwan at 250-751-2775.

B.C. Liberals firm on pipeline criteria
By Jeff NagelBlaCk PRess
Kinder Morgans proposed twinning of the Trans Mountain oil pipeline through the Lower Mainland looks more likely with the B.C. Liberals staying in power than if the NDP had won last weeks election.
NDP leader Adrian Dix had vowed to block a big increase in oil tanker exports from Metro Vancouver. His reversal of a previous pledge to wait for a formal proj-ect application became a major campaign issue.
Speaking to reporters May 15, Premier Christy Clark stressed the province will put any Kinder Morgan proposal to the same requirements as the planned Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline to Kitimat, including world-leading safeguards against ocean and land spills as well as a substan-tial share of benefits for B.C.s risk.
The five conditions arent going to change, Clark said. Any expansion of heavy oil is going to have to meet those five conditions.
The Trans Mountain pipeline from north-ern Alberta to Burnaby has operated for more than 50 years but Kinder Morgan wants to nearly triple its flow to 890,000 barrels per day, resulting in more oil tank-ers plying Vancouver harbour.

u From /1All of the children, including the
student in the teepee, are listening and engaging with Boudreau.
In January, Boudreau decided to open up her class and try out this new method of teaching, called self-regulated learning, after visiting a demonstration classroom at Seaview Elementary School in Lantzville.
Self-regulated learning is about teaching students how to learn and acknowledging that each brain is different, each student learns differ-ently, said Brenda Whittam-Neary, a speech and language pathologist Nanaimo school district has con-tracted with to set up a demonstra-tion classroom and teach educators about the learning method.
The concept of self-regulated learning is to get children into a calm, alert and focused state so they can manage their behaviour and so they can learn, she said. Your end goal is to create independent learners.
Boudreau admits she was skepti-cal when she first agreed to pilot the method in her own classroom when she walked into the demonstration classroom, she questioned Whittam-Neary about funding and why they were simply being shown a demon-stration classroom with no children in it.
For me, I see it, then I believe it, she said.
Boudreau thought at first that she would be disproving the model, but as they went along, her mind began
to change in the past, Boudreau worked so hard just to get her class to pay attention and by the end of carpet time, she was already stressed out and tired.
I think I was running higher, she said. I felt like I wasnt doing enough. Now Im not as tired at the end of the day.
The effect on her struggling stu-dents has been huge their extra energy is not affecting others like it used to because they are directing that energy at the squeeze balls or stir sticks instead of acting out and they are able to engage in the les-sons.
Gone are the days where kids are expected to sit still, hands in their laps, listening to the teacher, added Whittam-Neary.
The old myth of sitting still to learn is no longer supported in the research, she said. Theres a lot of kids who need a lot of movement.
When we get kids up and moving is when you get engagement. And you cannot have learning without engage-ment.
Boudreau said the most important thing is she didnt feel judged when Whittam-Neary walked into her classroom she felt like what was already going on in her classroom was respected.
I really want people to see this as a supportive opportunity, she said.
Whittam-Neary said teachers in most schools have been to her dem-onstration classroom and she has also been out to many schools so educators can learn more about the method.
She is seeking community dona-tions of exercise equipment such as bikes and bosu balls.
To donate, please call the district office at 250-754-5521 or e-mail her at [email protected].
Donna Reimer, school district spokeswoman, said some money is available to help teachers obtain equipment for self-regulation. The district received about $20 per stu-dent through this supplement this year.
Superintendent Dave Hutchinson said the districts intent is to encour-age teachers to investigate the self-regulated learning approach.
We hope as more people learn about it, they will be interested in trying out some of the strategies in their classrooms, he said.
Students engage through movement
LEFT: Circle time in Marcy Bou-dreaus Grade 1 classroom at Uplands Park Elementary School involves stools, pieces of carpet, squeeze balls, Silly Putty and chewing sticks. Every morn-ing, Boudreau asks students whether they feel they are ready to learn for the day and what they need to help them focus on learning. The class is piloting self-regulated learning teach-ing students how to regulate their behaviour so they can focus on learning. BELOW: Jayden Robinson, a Grade 1 student at Uplands Park Elementary School, works on a lesson at a standing desk. The standing desk and the coffee stir stick he is chewing on are two common tools used in the self-regulated learning method to help students focus on lessons.
We really hope as people learn about it, they will be interested in trying the strategies.

Several years ago while work-ing for a newspaper in Ontario, I was assigned to cover a small fundraiser at a rural church that was being held to support a fam-ily that had taken the province to court over subsidies for their young sons autism treatment.
The court costs had threatened to bankrupt the family, which meant it would have to sell its farm.
The family argued that expensive subsi-dized therapy the boy had been taking was working, but once that funding stopped when Andrew turned six years old, treatment would cease because the family couldnt afford it. Going to court was a last-ditch effort.
At the church, I talked to the father, David, and asked him how the treatments were improving his sons con-dition. He said that over time, Andrew had gone from a kicking, biting, shrieking monster to a rea-sonably well-adjusted little boy.
I was doubtful until I met him. Interview over, I was snapping some photos of the fundraiser when a boy approached me and asked if he could see my cam-era. I noticed David watching me keenly. I looked at him and mouthed the question Is this him? He nodded yes.
Andrew held my camera and began asking me questions. How does it focus? Can he take
a picture? He was a perfect little gentleman.
After our interaction, David came over and revealed it was habit to keep track of his sons actions. Only a year before, he said he would have been petri-fied to have any interaction with a stranger for fear of an outburst and possible harm.
The therapy was critical.Our goal is to have
him become a good, taxpaying citizen, said David, who clearly loved his son.
Shortly after our conversation the court made its ruling the family won and it was able to keep the farm and continue receiving funding.
A couple of weeks ago, the challenges of
autism gained national attention when it was reported that an Ottawa couple, after 19 years of struggle and exhaustion, decided it had no choice but to take its autistic teenage son to a govern-ment office and abandon him there.
Only desperation can lead to a decision like that.
Amanda Telford said she had no choice but to admit her son Philippe into the care of govern-ment. As Telford explained her decision, she said it takes con-stant care and a litany of treat-ments to look after a person with severe autism.
I dont know the medical his-
tory of Philippe, or if his condi-tion was preventable if treated at an earlier age, but I do know that for some children with autism, early treatment can make a differ-ence.
The Telford case is particularly acute, but it is reflective of many cases of parents across Canada in the same situation.
Frank Viti, president and CEO of Autism Speaks Canada, a pri-vately funded advocacy group, said in response to Telfords case they are not alone.
There are thousands of parents of children with special needs who are exasperated, theyre finished, theyre done, he told CBC, adding there are many costs involved in the case of autistic children and that therapy can run around $60,000 a year.
Autism is estimated to affect one in 88 people, but that doesnt include family members who must care for them.
If treatment in some cases is proven to work, and can reduce family stress while, as David put it, creating a good tax-paying citizen, then the investment in helping these children and their families is worth it.
In B.C., government support is, at best, weak. Already over-whelmed parents are forced to seek pockets of financial aid and run a therapy team on their own.
Its time these families got some help, before more parents have to make the same difficult decision the Telfords did.

With food, transportation and housing costs rising, sticking to the family budget is become increasingly more difficult in B.C.
According to the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, it takes two parents earning $19.62 an hour each to support a family of four. The annual recalculation of the so-called living wage found the hourly rate necessary to cover rent, child care, food and transportation (after government taxes and levies) jumped 48 cents from $19.14 last year thats the equivalent of 2.5 per cent, or nearly double the rate of inflation.
We all know that housing costs are to blame for some of this burden, but the CCPA study found that rising child care costs, food prices and a four per cent jump in Medical Services Plan premiums were also to blame. The problem is, many working parents dont even make that living wage.
How are families coping? Studies have shown there are
increasing numbers of families in core need, meaning that their housing costs are so high and their incomes so low that they are at constant risk of homelessness. More people are also using the food bank.
Other families, whose wages are more in keeping with the limit suggested by CCPA, are making some difficult choices to stretch their dollars. They have given up on the idea of a second car, for example, or the dream of an at-home parent and are turning to creative housing choices.
More and more families are living in condominiums and basement suites, and those who can afford to own a single-family home are renting out the basement.
Meanwhile, per capita debt, although stabilizing, is still high, suggesting that the Canadian dream, while not dead, is becoming increasingly expensive to maintain.
Rising costs burden families

To the Editor,Re: Swy-a-lana needs
infusion of cash, Letters, May 25.
I am not sure what Eleanor Millers story is about.
The Swy-a-lana Lagoon, along with Maffeo Sutton Park, is completely man-made. It sits on top of an old industrial site that was once a lumber mill.
By todays standards the park development is what the global warming experts would expect to see in reference to build-ing carbon neutrality or carbon sinks.
The electrical power that runs the water pumps in the lagoon could be, and should be, offset because it is the cost of creating a car-bon sink. The reservoirs and waterfalls around the lagoon may not be esthetically pleasing, but they are examples of algae promotion.
Visitors may look in disgust at the appear-ance, but this is a form of ignorance and perhaps signage and explanations of the science should be posted.
Many people are unaware the dumping and scattering of iron sul-phate is, or has already been done, in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of B.C. The scattering of fer-tilizer is supposed to pro-mote plankton blooming to provide a larger base for the food chain.
This apparently will grow the salmon fishery and create a carbon sink, which the developers hope to sell as credits
on the carbon trading market.
And here we have another example of how Nanaimo is not getting similar kickbacks to offset locally collected taxes to promote our own carbon sink.
The Swy-a-lana reser-voirs generate algae and the waterfalls effectively oxygenate the inner lagoon.
The costs of maintain-ing this carbon sink proj-ect should be claimed by Nanaimo, similar to those developers who dump iron sulphate in our ocean.
Simply put, we want our share of taxes back from the feds.

Pipeline will benefit all Canadian families
To the Editor,Re: Pipelines economic
boon a myth, Letters, May 14.
Burtt Fidler begins his anti-pipeline argument with a myth that being the Kinder-Morgan pipe-line expansion will result in only 35 new jobs in B.C.
Our economy consists of international, national,
provincial and local com-ponents, all of which con-tribute to our well-being and standard of living.
This pipeline will ben-efit everyone in Canada. Think of the thousands of families who stand to benefit.
Steelworkers, coatings manufacturers, machin-ists, welders, carpen-ters, caterers, pump manufacturers, electri-cians, heavy equipment operators, surveyors, cleaning contractors, safety inspectors, vehicle and equipment retail-ers, modular housing companies and scores of other businesses will all be kept busy while their employees and families receive paycheques and pay taxes.
Fidler apparently
dislikes profit as well, though it underpins the pension income of many Canadians.
He insists that renew-able energy is the wave of the future and indeed some day it may well be. But, the Achilles heel of renewable energy is that it must be available in vast quantities, on demand.
Until we can store large amounts of pure electri-cal energy, renewables will remain costly and unreliable.
While no one can pre-clude an oil spill into infinity, decades of quan-tifiable benefits certainly outweigh the small but not negligible risk of transporting Canadian crude oil to overseas markets.

Voter insulted by candidates remarks
To the Editor,Re: Nanaimo voters
send Krog to Victoria; Nanaimo-North Cowichan sticks with NDP incumbent, May 16.
As a voter in the lat-est B.C. election, I feel insulted by the comments of Leonard Krog, Ian Gartshore, Bryce Crig-ger, David Coupland and Doug Routley regarding the decisions made by all of us.
All of them had the chance to put forward the ideas of their party. All of them had the chance to meet with the voters in the constituencies. And all blamed the voters for making the wrong choice.
Contrast that to the reaction of defeated Lib-eral candidates, who did not have anything nega-tive to say about the vot-ers in their riding.
When your wallet is going to be affected, you vote for the best solution to keep it as full as you can.

Colourful broom pleasing to the eye
To the Editor,Re: Brooms strengths
could be beneficial, Let-ters, May 14.
In reply to Matt Jamess letter on Scotch brooms strengths, I would reply that broom is to our advantage in its colour and its deterrent from the endless, boring lengths of trees that line the high-ways of this area.
It is a pleasure to see the yellow bloom. It does no harm and may it mul-tiply to deter from the monotony of the same trees, mile after mile after mile.

History buffs are invited to walk back into Nanaimo and areas 90-year coal mining era with author Tom Paterson on his May 26 Black Track Tour.
Paterson has the ability to re-create the spirit of those early days with his extensive knowl-edge of Vancouver Island coal mining history and his engaging and dynamic delivery.
The tour covers many aspects of coal mining as it was then: techniques, equipment in use, safety standards, mining disas-ters and fatalities, the social life and living conditions of coal miners and their families and how many Island communities were founded because coal min-ing was the economic driver.
Paterson also explores the history of some of Nanaimo and areas once used railroad lines,
This is the only Black Track
Tour. Space is restricted to 20. Cost remains $30 per person or $25 each for two or more in a party.
