BY NIOMI PEARSONTHE NEWS BULLETIN

After nearly six weeks ofconsultation in communi-ties across the province,including Nanaimo, the B.C.Electoral Boundaries Com-mission is preparing its final report on the redistribution of federal election boundar-ies to present to Parliament by Dec. 21.

The proposed boundarychanges call for a new rid-ing, South Cowichan-Juan de Fuca, and would alter the current Nanaimo-Cowichanriding to extend to the inter-section of Nanaimo Parkwayand Island Highway on the north end, and reach as far as Ladysmith and Lake Cow-ichan to the south. It wouldlose Duncan, Cobble Hill,Mill Bay and Chemainus tothe new riding.

Proposed boundaries forNanaimo-Alber ni riding would include the RegionalDistrict of Alberni-Clay-oquot, part of Courtenay, the Village of Cumberland, and a very small piece of Nanaimothat would include the neigh-bourhood around BrannenLake west of the NanaimoParkway.

During a public hearing in Nanaimo, held Oct. 16, some residents voiced concerns over the placement of Lake Cowichan in the Nanaimo-Cowichan riding, while others proposed the idea of includ-ing the entirety of Nanaimounder the same riding.

They didnt want to remove Lake Cowichan from having a connection to the Duncan area, so thats something weve been actively looking at and may well change, saidJustice John E. Hall, chair-man of the B.C. Electoral Boundaries Commission.

Those in favour of aNanaimo riding that wouldencompass the entire citysuggested that Ladysmithand Lantzville should also beincluded in the riding.

Were certainly lookingat that, and it may be thatNanaimo will fit within Idont know that its possiblefor it to be all its own Idont know that the numbersare quite there but its get-ting close, he said. Therewasnt unanimity as to howto approach it, some peoplesaid you had to pay attentionto municipal boundaries.

Approximately 23 peopleattended the hearing.

The reason we have these public hearings is we like tohave some input from the peo-ple who live in the areas, andspeaking for myself and mycommissioners I think wevefound them helpful, most ofthem, Hall said. It gives yousomething to work with.

The proposed electoral boundaries will add six newridings for BC, with modestto major changes across theboard.

Most of the ridings aregoing to have some changes,although the ones in the northpart of the province probablyhave less than most, Hallsaid. You try to get yourselfwithin some shouting dis-tance of the population num-ber, which is about 105,000per riding, and then you lookat what fits together from thepoint of view of access, con-venience dealing with themember of parliament.

Once the report is presentedto Parliament, MPs willstudy it and add their inputby spring 2013. The commis-sion then reviews the sugges-tions, which they can acceptor reject, and finalize the newfederal map by fall 2013, to bein place for the next federalelection.

IFINAL REPORT due before Parliamenton Dec. 21.


Nanaimos agri-food busi-nesses will be given some food for thought during the Get Readyto Grow road show.

The Small Scale Food Proces-sor Association (SSFPA) is bring-ing ideas to food processors ineight communities across B.C.,including the Harbour City onNov. 13, at the Beban Park Social Centre.

According to SSFPA executive director Candice Appleby, regis-tration for the Nanaimo event is already fully booked.

We may end up doing anotherone, she said.

Get Ready to Grow will feature four key presentations to helplocal food businesses maximize their profit year round.

We believe that there is more and more demand for [food]

product that people know where its coming from, Appleby said.What were providing them with is the pathways as well asthe tools and resources to man-age that growth.

The presentations are: Things you need to know to start a foodbusiness; Adopting digital tech-nology; Grow Safely with Work-Safe BC; and Food Safety tools and resources.

Appleby said value added isthe key buzz-word for todayssmall businesses.

Its very challenging for smallfarms to compete with the fresh produce imports, Appleby said.As companies grow, they have to do other things.

She said growers can extendtheir season by turning produceinto product, as an example.

Road show attendees will learnhow to utilize the Internet to market their products, throughuse of websites and social net-works.

Theyll also learn about the courses available through theSSFPAs Learning ManagementSystem, which include issues such as recall, traceability, co-packing, and training courses for food processing workers.

For more information, please visit the Small Scale Food Pro-cessor Association website at www.ssfpa.net or call 1-866-619-7372.

Ron Hales Nanoose Bay creation, at almost eight-metres tall, has been recognized by Guinness Book of World Records as the worlds largest gnome. The gnome can be found at the gas station at the top of the hill on the Island Highway near Nanoose Bay.

BY AUREN RUVINSKYBLACK PRESS

For more than 10 years, the worlds largest gnome stood sentinel over Nanoose Bay withoutofficial recognition.

This year, official arbiter The Guinness Book of World Records finally recognized the NanooseEsso gnome as the worlds largest at 7.91 metres(25 ft. 11 in.) tall.

The friendly giant was built in 1998 by Ron Hale as an attention-grabbing mascot for the go carttrack he and his son Bruce ran on the property where the gas station now stands.

Inspired by a book on gnomes that his artist wife Disa had written, the jack of all trades set about building it out of what he called junk using their own garden gnome as model and scal-ing it up 15 times.

He built a frame out of scrap metal in three sec-tions (legs, torso and head) in his garage and con-structed the exterior out of everything from icecream buckets, bleach bottles and Styrofoam to paper making byproducts from the Port Alberni mill.

Installed in 1998, he said the attraction made a noticeable difference in business, with manypeople stopping to see it and take pictures acommon sight to this day.

Its a happy thing, people say they wave to it every morning or use it to give directions to their house, or tell people theyll meet them there,Disa said, clearly proud of the creation that nowbelongs to the property which they have sincesold.

Ron said he never considered his creationsplace in the world of gnomes. It wasnt until well after it was built that his wife looked into the world record and began what turned out to be alengthy and complex process.

It had to be inspected by an engineer and involved seemingly endless paper work, with theofficial measuring taking place in August 2009.

Though it has been moved around the prop-erty several times, due mostly to regional dis-trict bureaucratic hassles, its protection wasa condition of the land sale, giving it some legal protection.

Though the record shatters a number of inter-national worlds largest claims ranging fromfour to 5.4 metres, the Hales concede someone will likely build a bigger one just to take the record, thats how it goes, Disa said.

According to Wikipedia, gnomes date back toat least the 16th Century and have shifted overthe centuries as similar to faeries, dwarves or goblins that live in the soil.

BY JENN McGARRIGLETHE NEWS BULLETIN

Nanaimo school district hopes to get money for two playground improvement projects andincrease the amount of commu-nity use at both sites.

The school board gave its sup-port to an application to theSchool Community Connectionsprogram for funding for two proj-ects: $12,500 for goal posts at Park Avenue Elementary Schoolshalf-size field and $5,000 for addi-tional playground equipmentfor Georgia Avenue Elementary School.

The program was launched in 2005 through a one-time $10-mil-lion grant from the Education Ministry.

It is managed by the Union of B.C. Municipalities and the B.C.School Trustees Association to promote sustainable and innova-tive collaboration between schoolboards and local governments.

Through the latest round offunding, grants of up to $12,500

are available to districts anddepending on the number of applicants, an additional $5,000 per district may be available.

Donna Reimer, school districtspokeswoman, said the ParkAvenue project is the districts first priority.

She said the rationale is mak-ing better use of that field for sports with goal posts, the dis-trict will be able to rent the fieldout to various community sports organizations.

The field itself is in goodshape, so we dont have to upgrade it, said Reimer.

As for Georgia Avenue, she saidthe district wants the $5,000 tosupplement the $25,000 provin-cial grant it received in June toreplace some of the older play-ground equipment at the school.

Into each life, a little rain must fall, and if you live in the Nanaimo Regional Dis-trict, a guidebook can help provide theins-and-outs of harvesting one of our mostimportant resources.

The RDN has just released the Rainwa-ter Harvesting Best Practices Guidebook aspart of its Green Building Action Plan.

The guidebook is envisioned as a prac-tical resource for residents in the regioninterested in exploring and building rain-water capture systems, said Chris Mid-gley, RDN manager of Energy and Sus-tainability. Its not a how-to, were notexpecting people to read the book and beable to go out and build a system, but to understand the systems better so theyrenot going into it blind. Theyll know what to look for, what constitutes a well func-tioning system, and who they may need to bring on board to build those systems.

The concept of rainwater harvesting is

simple water is collected via the roof area during the fall and winter season andtransferred to a cistern area for treatmentand then stored for future reuse. Rainwa-ter harvesting systems can be simple orcomplex design, based on what the waters designated use is.

The spectrum ranges from lawn irriga-tion to car washing, to indoor uses like toilet flushing. More comprehensive sys-tems would provide an entire householdsneeds, including drinking water.

If youre only interested in watering your garden, youd have a much smalleramount of storage than if you were going to provide all your household needs, Mid-gely said.

With limited groundwater resources, particularly in the summer, rainwater cap-turing is a plus for the environment, and increases residents self-sufficiency, slowsdown or eliminates storm water runoff and reduces energy consumption when compared to wells, Midgley said.

Its always a good idea to conservewater. People look at the rain outside andwonder why we should bother but the real-ity is over the summer, the climate here,we have a drought over the summers where groundwater levels drop, wherethe availability of natural water, or water

that hasnt been stored is less available,he said.

So far, there has been plenty of interestin the rainwater capture program, partic-ularly in the Gabriola and Cedar areas ofthe district.

If you look at the region more broadly,there are certain areas that are more vul-nerable to water shortages than others,the classic example being Gabriola Island where they dont really have a distribution system, he explained.

Those residents are hopefully going tobe interested in the guide, but generally, as well, the Yellow Point aquifer is identifiedas an aquifer thats susceptible to impacts,or vulnerable to development, so to protect your groundwater resources in places like that, rainwater systems are particularlyuseful.

This year, the RDNs Water ServicesDepartment established a rainwater har-

vesting incentive program which providedrebates of up to $750 to homeowners whoinvest in cisterns exceeding 4,546 litres.According to RDN special projects assis-tant Julie Pisani, all 40 of the districtsavailable incentive rebates were used upwithin the first six months of offering theprogram. In addition, the RDN establishedthe Yellow Point Aquifer DevelopmentPermit Area in the Electoral Area A Offi-cial Community plan in 2011, requiringnew development and major renovationswithin the area to incorporate rainwaterharvesting systems with a 18,000-plus litrecapacity.

Pisani said the RDN is hoping to offerand expand the rebate program for 2013,but the proposal will not be brought for-ward to the district board until March.

One free copy of the guidebook is avail-able for each household in the RDN, andadditional copies, or copies for non-resi-dents can be purchased for $15. An elec-tronic version of the guide is availablefrom the RDNs website at www.rdn.bc.caunder the services/energy tab.

Glance out the window on a stormy,wet fall or winter day and the thought of harvesting rainwater in Nanaimo wouldlikely be the furthest thing from most peoples minds.

Why? We have so much.But a month ago residents were

marvelling at Aug-tober weather following the driest August andSeptember in Nanaimo on record. And

while the Harbour Citydidnt have the concernsover drought that plagued a number of communitiesin the province including nearby Cowichan Valley,Courtenay and the SunshineCoast areas that relyon wells such as Gabriola

Island, Cedar and Yellow Point that cannormally make it through to September,are now seeing a lack of water in June.

And if an earthquake in Haida Gwaiican completely alter the flow of water to a hot spring, whos to say aquifers in the central Island are not at risk.

Thats why the Regional District of Nanaimos plan to inform residents on the finer points of rainwater collection makes sense.

Why should we be using water that costs taxpayers millions of dollars totreat for consumption to wash cars,water lawns or flush down toilets when technology allows a source to becollected and stored for days when there is not a cloud in the sky?

Theres no guarantee water will flow forever. Its a finite resource that most of us take for granted when we turn on our taps, and unfortunately abuse.

Any effort from individuals or a community to conserve water goes a longway in helping us all to survive. Its all a matter of desire to do the right thing.

Water means life, and collectingand storing it for the proverbial rainy day when its needed the most is ano-brainer.

C A N A D I A NCOMMUNITYNEWSPAPERAWARD 2012

While channel surfing recent-ly, I stumbled on comedianLewis Blacks stand up routine about aging.

Hed just turned 62 (the origi-nal broadcast aired in 2010) andhe took issue with things people say about getting older thataggravate him, like, Im 64 andIve never felt better in my life.

Seriously?If this is the best

youve felt, what the hell was wrong with you in your 20s?, he asked.

Im in my 50s, the decade when you startgriping about agesaffects creeping in,like during the bike ride my wife, a friend and I all in our 50s were on recently.

Part way along any-one standing on the side of theroad would have overheard the following chorus of complaints:

My shoulders hurt,; wife.My knee hurts,; friend.My back hurts,; me.Getting old sucks,; all of us.Yeah, but you have to admit

its saying something when you can go out for a long ride andthe only thing that doesnt hurtis your butt,; wife.

The best thing to do as you get older is keep moving or youll seize up physically and men-tally. The trick is to keep delud-ing yourself into believing you really are as young as you were, say, 30 years ago a challenge

when you work a desk job andit takes 30 seconds to straighten up and hobble to the bathroomafter youve sat typing for anhour or so.

A friend and I were talking about longevity over coffee theother day. How were living lon-ger through medical advance-ments, plus a daily lucky roll of

the dice against fatalmishaps.

Genetics factor inthe equation too.

I figure for the most part I won that lottery.

Not because Imthe smartest personaround ask my wifeand employers and I might not be the best looking guy either although I hearopinions differ on the subject but because

I havent had much of anything go too haywire, yet.

My Swedish grandmother made a considerable contribu-tion to my looks and build. Thebig chest and shoulders aregood.

The belly, not so much. Ive battled it most of my adult life,winning the odd skirmish whenIve worked jobs that required lots of steady hard physicallabour.

Last year, training for the Tour de Rock, I thought 5,000 kilome-tres of pedaling my butt and some other bits off would takecare of the belly. I lost a bunch of weight and combined inches,

and built muscle. Even the belly leaned out, but unlike several tires, it never went flat.

How is this age-related? I have a theory, well a hypoth-

esis really, that young fat cells,like young guys, lack experienceand are too quick to jump intothe fight before theyve thoughtthrough the consequences of giving up their stored energy.

But those old wizened ones,that have lurked around for 30years or more, have learnedhow to dig in and survive diets,healthy eating, even massive amounts of prolonged exercise. They trick the body into believ-ing theyre somehow indispens-able sort of like bureaucrats.

Left unchecked, they become adrain on the system and cause a whole array of potential health, social and fashion issues.

The older you get, the tougherit gets to battle the bureaucracy,keep the bulge at bay and recu-perate from strained muscles, bumps and bruises when you overdo it.

And the overdo it thresholdseems to get lower each year.

A couple months back I tore a tendon in my left arm, not while riding a bike, but pulling on a wrench while preparing the bike the night prior to a ride around Denman and Hornbyislands.

So, no mountain biking forme for a while. Just road ridesand convincing myself that Ive never felt better in my life.

Nostalgia no reasonto save Island rail

To the Editor,Re: Vancouver Island

residents have a say in rails futureff , Guest Comment, Oct. 30.

Graham Bruce has once again ignored the fact thereis no commitment by any commercial venture to usethe Island railway.

No forestry company, no mining enterprise, no sawmill and notransportation company has signed on the dotted line.

Yes, the Washington Transportation Group may have said it will be fully responsible for making the railway work, but at what cost?

Not the $3.2 million that taxpayers are being askedto put up over and abovethe $15 million that we will pay through the federal and provincial subsidies. TheIsland Corridor Foundation gets its money from us as well.

That means the WTG will spend 2.4 per cent of the total. And that is for a25-year deal that does notguarantee anything. It might be determined there is no viable use for the railway, anyway.

Nostalgically, the railway isnice to have. Unfortunately, we cant afford the nostalgia.

Sensational headercould incite fear

To the Editor,Re: Suspicious teen goes

door to door, offers babysit-ting services, Online, Oct. 31.

I am perturbed by the nature of this report.

The police spokesman stated the teens activitieswere not criminal, yet, the

headline is sensational andincites fear.

The word suspicious unnecessarily invokes reac-tionary emotions. Knowing some of the reactions ofmothers in the area to thispersons activities as expressed by those mothersthrough an online forum such an article is likely to be glossed over, with the lackof comprehension of thedetails resulting in irratio-nal panic and unwarranted judgement of neighborhood safety, as well as this per-sons true threat to public safety.

As a news outlet, you have incredible power in shaping perception and reaction to news in the area.

Please be more aware ofthe disconnects between theheadlines and story content.Perhaps a better headlinewould be Information requested on teen canvass-ing babysitting services.

Tourists wont flock to oil-soaked B.C.

To the Editor,Re: Future looks bright for

B.C.s tourism industry, Oct27.

Thank you for pointing out that tourism and hospitalitynow surpass all resource-based industries, including

forestry, mining, oil and gasextraction and agriculture.

The provincial governmentestimates that revenue from this sector will top $18 billion by 2016.

If we are to continue with this trend, we need to protect our natural assets, starting with our coastline.

I would think this fact alone should be enough tosway people to the side ofthose protesting Enbridgesproposed pipelines.

Trish MooneyNanaimo

Columnists views nothing but babble

To the Editor,Re: Tar sands attack gets

star treatment, B.C. Views, Oct. 25.

Once more we are subjectedto the inane babbling ofTom Fletcher. Whenever hecant get a point across with intelligent speech, he resorts to sarcasm.

He might not think an oilspill whether on land orin the Pacific Ocean will end life on Earth as we know it, but thousands of people who make their living on the sea or adjacent to it would disagree. It wouldcertainly ruin their lives and the marine life which they depend on to survive.

Fletchers thoughts are so distorted, I can only assume he has become drawn in by the Harpies (not unlike the Moonies). His master speaksand he responds. Why shouldwe believe Suncor founder Rick George and completelydismiss David Suzuki?

In light of the recent facts that the government andCanadian Food InspectionAgency cannot keep our foodis safe, we will increasingly depend on our oceans.

A. DonaldsonNanaimo

To the Editor,Now that the three-year,

$26-million Cohen Report has been released, we arefinally told science shows salmon farms spread dis-eases and parasites that decimate wild salmon populations. Not to mention that salmon farmers kill thousands of sea lions and seals that protect wild stocksby eating sharks, mackeraland other species that prey on salmon or compete with them for habitat.

These are obvious actionsfrom an industry that sees wild salmon stocks as com-petition, and should havebeen obvious to the govern-ment when these Norwegiancorporations were allowed here. They had already

trashed wild stocks in Norway and Scotland, andare destroying those of Chile and Peru.

They should be outlawed and removed from anywaters used by wild salmon

for migration to the oceanand return. Will the NDPdo this, or are they still as enamoured with Norwegianecocide as the Liberals are?

Readers respond: Feedback on news

BY SHIRLEY BONDLast months earthquake near

Haida Gwaii serves as a reminder to all of us just how important it is to be prepared for emergen-cies. In the days since this event, a number of questions and concernshave come forward around howand when communities received tsunami information from the B.C. government.

We have a robust and multi-faceted emergency managementsystem in British Columbia, onethat is recognized globally for its efficiency and effectiveness. Whilemuch of the public and mediafocus has been on social media, itscritical to remember that it is just one part of what is a comprehen-sive notification system.

I know, in response to the earth-quake, the system worked well at the local-authority level and ouroperational team at Emergency Management B.C. responded quickly and worked dili-gently to keep the public informed. This is not to suggest there arentaspects of the response that cant be done better.

On that night, as is the case when any earthquake happens andthere is the potential a tsunami may impact B.C.s coast, the firstofficial notification came within minutes from the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Centerin Palmer, Alaska. The center sentthis notification to EMBC as wellas to the many local governments,agencies, media and individuals who are registered with its notifi-cation system. As is appropriate,many local authorities began act-ing as soon as they received thisinitial notification.

As the next step to further increase awareness of this noti-fication, EMBC staff then beganusing a variety of tools to relay this critical emergency infor-mation to local governments, media and key stakeholders.In fact, within 12 minutes the Emergency Coordination Centre began directly calling provincialemergency management staff and local authorities in the impacted regions.

Local authorities are the firstresponders in B.C.s communities and are required by legislation tohave emergency plans in place thatinclude procedures for relaying critical emergency information toresidents and visitors.

The initial tsunami notification from the ECC also went to senior levels of government, representa-tives from the military and Public Safety Canada, RCMP, utilities and B.C. Ambulance. That weekend, we saw the leadership of local authorities up and down the coast as they activated emergency actionplans.

One of the other major tools government uses to contact British Columbians directly is the

Provincial Emergency NotificationSystem. This was added in 2006 as part of our earthquake and tsu-nami response plan and uses tech-nology to systematically send tsu-nami notifications via phone, fax and e-mail to thousands of first responders, local governments andthe media.

Our government will do every-thing it can to notify as manypeople as possible. Our first prior-ity is to contact first respondersand those who will lead the localemergency response, and then tolet them take over and decide howbest to contact the citizens of their communities.

The staff behind our @EmergencyInfoBC Twitter feedwill always be working to find that right balance between accuracyand timeliness in how we postsocial media updates, but at the end of the day, the fact remains if Mother Nature has let you know

there is a problem, dont wait for your cellphoneto ring, or to get a text or Twitter message.

Move into emergency mode and activate your plan. Especially if were facing a largeearthquake or other disaster, your Internet or cellphone access may be limited and it will be your ini-tial response that saves your life.

The most important thing for people in coastal areas of B.C.to understand is that when theground shakes especially if it goes on longer than a minute thats the first notification that atsunami could impact the area.Anyone in coastal locations who feels strong shaking from anearthquake should assume that atsunami may have been generatedand should immediately move tohigh ground as soon as the shak-ing stops.

We must never forget that emer-gency preparedness begins with each of us as individuals. AllBritish Columbians should haveemergency plans and kits in placefor themselves and their families.And all British Columbians shouldtake the time to familiarize them-selves with their communitys emergency plan.

As with any large emergencyresponse, I have asked EMBC to conduct a review of how ourresponse and communicationssystems worked. Its only respon-sible that we continue to look at not only what went right, but more importantly, where we can improve and how we can bet-ter work with our emergency response partners in local com-munities to notify and protect our citizens.

I can reassure British Columbians that our government is committed to providing a world-class public safety response.

Shirley Bond is B.C.s Minister of

Justice and Attorney General.

oetry lingers everywhere, its just a matter of seeing it.

It dwells in the simplistic the small things.These tiny fragments are sources of inspira-

tion for singer-songwriter Hawksley Workman, which he uses to craft his songs.

There is plenty of inspiration in life, you just haveto open your eyes. There are little bits of poetry com-ing on all the time, he said. I like to look at the littlethings and celebrating the smallness.

Songs live inside peoples lives, said Workman. Peo-ple remember the songs they fell in love to or ones that played during pivotal moments in their lives. Hesaid these are songs that live with you forever.

Its an art form that lives in time. It sculpts time it exists alongside life in a complementary way, he said.

Over the last 12 years Workman has recorded 13albums, has been nominated for a Juno award six times and has won two. The musician is also an actorand published author. In 2002, his book HawksleyBurns for Isadora was published, which is a collection of fictional love letters written to a mermaid.

Workman said he counts himself lucky for having a music career with such longevity.

It feels incredible to feel relevant, he said.He performs at the Port Theatre Friday (Nov. 9) at

7:30 p.m. Tickets are $40, $35 for members and groups and $15 for students. They are available by calling 250-754-8550, online at www.porttheatre.com or at the Port Theatre ticket office, located at 125 Front St.

With the stroke of his barber knife SweeneyTodd slices the throats of his victims and then sendsthem to the basement to

become components for freshly baked pies.

The meat pies become a hit with Londoners, whounknowingly consumetheir neighbours andfriends.

The brutality of Sweeney

Todd is fuelled by his desire for revenge. He is a tortured soul that descends into darkness and mad-ness feelings driven by his sense of injustice overbeing imprisoned so Judge Turpin and Beadle could

take advantage of his fam-ily.

He spent 15 years incar-cerated in a penal colonyand when he returns to hisbeloved home in London,discovers that the place he once viewed as the best

place in the world is not the same.

As an actor you feel a little for Sweeney, said Dean Chadwick, who plays the barber in Schmooze Productions Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber

of Fleet Street. Sweeneyis one of those charactersyou really have to dig deepand put yourself in hisworld. His world has beencrashed and he was a vic-tim first.
