Residents of Gabriola Island are expected to decide next year whether they approve of bor-rowing upwards of $455,000 to purchase rec-reational property near Gabriola Elementary School.

On Aug. 25, the Regional District of Nanaimo board approved terms of a land purchase deal with Emcon Services for three parcels of land at Paisley Place. The lots total 3.44 hectares.

According to Howard Houle, regional district director for Gabriola Island, district staff will now formulate a bylaw to borrow the amount and it will be presented to the board for con-sideration at a future meeting.

The Ministry of Community, Sport and Cul-tural Development must approve the bylaw before it goes to referendum and Houle antici-pates if all goes according to plan, the referen-dum will take place in February.

Houle said he brought forward the recom-mendation because there is no other recre-ationally zoned land in Gabriolas downtown core. There will be community consultation in the future to determine what will go on the land, he said.

If a majority approves, the initial impact on residential taxpayers will be $4 per $100,000 of assessed value for property taxes.

Thatll be the assessment in the first year because, of course, we have administrative costs and theres financing costs and then the second year it should drop to approximately $3.52 per $100,000, said Houle.

According to terms of the deal, the regional district must receive approval of the electorate by March 27, with the closing date March 31.

If there is a delay, Houle said the regional dis-trict would have to negotiate a new deal with Emcon.

I certainly hope the community will get on board, said Houle. I think this is a great proj-ect for the future. We lack recreational facili-ties on Gabriola and Im really hoping theyll support this.

Regional District of Nanaimo directors voted to fast-track repairs to Greater Nanaimo Pollution Control Centre land sec-tion sewage pipe.

There have been leaks in the past year, including

one on July 29 that closed Morningside Park. The regional district said there is risk of further leaks of increasing severity over the next year, as the cur-rent steel pipe is more than 40 years old and failing.

The board approved a motion on Aug. 25 to promptly move ahead with commission and installa-tion of the land portion of the new pipe through Morningside.

Sewage line replacement was already planned as

part of an $18-million proj-ect.

New land pipe had been installed up to the park in 2014, with remaining land and marine sections originally scheduled for replacement in 2016.

According to Randy Alex-ander, regional district gen-eral manager of regional and community services, the district would like to have work done by late-October, due to tides and wastewater flows associ-ated with this time of year,

which presents a tight timeline for construction.

Given the time con-straints, there wont be a tender process, said Alex-ander. The regional district has already engaged proj-ect engineering firm Opus Dayton Knight to fabricate the high-density plastic pipe and the tie-ins, tem-porary pipe that connects the old and new sections of pipe.

Knappett Industries will do the installation.

Tree trimming

Nacolle Ondra, city horticulturalist, uses a reciprocating saw to cut some trim-mings down to size at Maffeo Sutton Park so she can fit them into the back of a pickup truck Monday. Heavy winds and rain over the weekend had little effect on Nanaimos downtown waterfront and left city workers to take care of their normal maintenance duties.

A $30,000 government grant will power up an energy and emissions plan for the Snuneymuxw First Nation.

The B.C. Ministry of Aborigi-nal Relations and Reconcilia-tion announced last week it will distribute $88,000 to three Vancouver Island First Nations for community energy plans.

Snuneymuxw First Nation will get $30,000 to create awareness of the communitys energy footprint and reduce energy use. It will also look

at how energy efficiency and clean energy generation could be part of future development of band lands, according to a press release.

The cost of hydro on the reserve is enormous, said Snuneymuxw Chief John Wes-ley, who calls the awareness program essential to the com-munity.

Wesley also plans to speak with Chief Gordon Planes of TSou-ke Nation, whose com-munity is known for its solar power generation. Theres a lot that needs to be done to try to be more efficient, he said, adding the Snuneymuxw

are looking at all the avenues and are open to anything.

The time for talk is yes-terday. I just want to move on a lot of things and help our people and bring a lot of energy-saving things to Snuneymuxw, he said.

Other recipients of the pro-vincial funding include the Komoks First Nation near Comox and We Wai Kai Nation near Campbell River.

Money comes from the First Nations Clean Energy Busi-ness Fund and is part of a pro-vincial committment to recon-ciliation with First Nations.

By Nicholas PescodThe News BulleTiN

Whether it is on the ice or in the boardroom, the Con-servative Party of Canadas Nanaimo-Ladysmith candi-date Mark MacDonald knows a thing or two about working hard.

MacDonald, 54, came to the Harbour City in the late 1970s and played goal as a member the Nanaimo Clip-pers during the 1980-81 season. The following year, MacDonald attended United States International Univer-sity (now Alliance University) in San Diego, Calif., where he studied international rela-tions and played goal for the schools Div. 1 hockey team. In 1983, MacDonald was named to the National Deans List for his academic and ath-

letic accomplishments.Following his return to

the Harbour City in the late 1980s, MacDonald has become an active member in the business community. Today he is the owner of Communication Ink Media and Public Relations and Invest Northwest Publish-ing Ltd., which produces the Business Examiner publica-tions.

MacDonald says he is run-ning because he wants to make a difference in the newly formed Nanaimo-Lady-smith riding.

This is the best way I can help Nanaimo and Lady-smith, he said. I do believe that the Conservatives are going to get back in and Nanaimo-Ladysmith needs someone on the govern-ments side of the table to ensure that we get our fair share of programs and oppor-tunities.

In addition to his own busi-ness ventures, MacDonald was managing editor of the

Nanaimo Daily News from 2012-14.

The best part of my job there was that I was out lis-tening to people and finding the pulse of the community and trying to do something constructive to help and that is what I would do in Ottawa, he said.

MacDonald believes the biggest issue in the Nanaimo-Ladysmith riding is related

to the economy, adding that the Nanaimo Airport is one potential place that could create local jobs for young people.

There are not enough opportunities for young peo-ple to make decent income, to raise families, to buy houses, he said. We need to give our young people more than opportunities to sell coffee to kayakers. We need to provide opportunities and I think there are some great opportunities.

MacDonald also sees room for improvement in educa-tion, which he believes could do with more investment.

It is proven that if you can get a childs education read-ing level up three grades it significantly enhances their employability, he said. That is a real problem here and I would love to be involved with setting up a social impact bond where people could invest to make these opportunities for young kids.

Conservative candidate aims to make a differenceImark macdONaLd says region needs voice in government.

Sheila Malcolmson is look-ing to carry on a legacy.

Malcolmson, former Islands Trust chairwoman, is the New Democratic Partys federal candidate for Nanaimo-Lady-smith.

Its a new riding in a region that has a history of being a battleground between the Conservatives and New Democrats and she wants to take the representation for the NDP.

For 11 years, NDP member of Parliament Jean Crowder has kept her seat in the Nanaimo-Cowichan riding while former Conservative MP James Lunney held Nanaimo-Alberni. This year, Crowder wont be running and Mal-colmson believes theres a

chance to carry on her legacy, which has involved environ-mental protection, social jus-tice and a strong connection to indigenous leaders. With her elected experience, envi-ronmental and small business background, she feels well placed to carry on Crowders work and legacy.

Were hearing really strongly at the doorstep that people are really ready for change, that theyre very motivated to see the Harper government gone, she said.

Malcolmson lives on Gab-riola Island where shes been elected four times to the Islands Trust. Shes also worked for a small business that did ocean kayak and bicycle tours and in energy policy ratepayer advocacy and environmental protec-tion. Her interest in environ-ment is rooted in family with a mother and grandmother who were committed hobby ecologists. Malcolmson said she cant think of a time she wasnt aware of environmen-

tal issues and curious and respectful of the natural envi-ronment. Her grandfather, a Supreme Court judge, ran for elected office a number of times in the 1940s for the CCF.

Im really grateful to both lines of the family, the teach-ing about the natural environ-ment and then the commit-ment to take action and try to make change at an elected level, she said.

Malcolmson has been knocking on doors since November. Shes been hear-ing a lot on the door step about sustainable jobs and the question of how they can make people feel secure about long-term employment and theres a big federal role in that. She also sees the imperative to build, or repair, the damaged relationship with indigenous people.

One of the things that Im so pleased that [NDP leader] Tom Mulcair announced early on is a commitment to a public inquiry on murdered and [missing] indigenous women thats a fundamen-tal, lets clear the air and honour what indigenous leaders are asking us to do, she said. And weve got a whole list of actions that I feel that Ive got the elected experience and the will to be able to work together as a team with indigenous people in the region and imple-ment.

Voters in the Nanaimo region will cast their ballots in a new riding amalgamated from two previously.

Nanaimo-Ladysmith com-bines sections of the former Nanaimo-Alberni riding, repre-sented by Conservative-turned-independent James Lunney, and Nanaimo-Cowichan, represented by the NDPs Jean Crowder neither of whom are running for re-election.

The new riding stretches from part of the Cowichan Valley Regional District in the south, including Ladysmith, subdi-vision H, Chemainus Indian Reserve No. 13 and Oyster Bay Indian Reserve No. 12, and subdivision G, excluding Day-man, Hudson, Leech, Miami, Penelakut, Scott, Tent, Reid and Thetis islands and Ragged and Rose islets. The riding stretches north to include Nanaimo, Lantzville, Nanoose Indian Reserve and Nanaimo Indian Reserve.

Tim Tessier started out talking poli-tics at dinner parties and it led him to the campaign trail.

The 56-year-old Nanaimo resident, with a background in business con-sulting and real estate, is the local Lib-eral candidate running for Parliament in the upcoming federal election.

I was passionate about some things that were going on. It started out with my frustration, Tessier said.

So when he was approached to con-sider running as a candidate, it was a chance to walk the walk, so to speak. The Liberal nomination in Nanaimo-Ladysmith was originally set to be contested, but a week before the vote, the competitor withdrew to support Tessiers acclamation.

The new Liberal candidate has now launched his campaign, and said hes running because politics matter.

Its part of our lives, he said. Any-one who says, I dont vote, it doesnt affect me, then theyre not paying taxes, theyre not following laws and so forth.

When Tessier set out knocking on doors, there were certain issues he had in mind. Hes not seeing the sort of sustainable jobs in the region that will keep young people here. He thinks there needs to be more national lead-ership on transportation concerns. Delivery of health services is another priority.

But hes finding that depending on with whom hes talking, the discussion can vary greatly. Hes finding that a lot of people want to talk about the envi-ronment, pension protection, daycare or the criminal justice system.

If anyone comes to you and says, here are the top three [issues], then I go, shame on them, because theyre not listening to a full array of demo-graphics, said Tessier

He recognizes the difficulty of draw-ing support in a part of Vancouver Island where the Liberals have run a distant third or fourth in recent elec-tions. Whats different this time, he said, is that people might be willing to look beyond a party theyve always supported. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau brings a sense of optimism thats infectious, Tessier said, and is continuing to build a following and momentum in many parts of the coun-try.

I recognize we were coming in as a weak third, marginal fourth [here], Tessier said. Were doing that at a national level. Never before in the his-tory of our country has a third party had such a presence that we have the potential to gain power and form the new government and make real change.

By karl yuThe News BulleTiN

Documentary filmmaker Paul Manly is the Green Party of Canadas Nanaimo-Ladysmith candidate for the upcoming federal election.

Manly, son of former MP Jim Manly, was born in Port Alice and resided in Ladysmith between grades 4 and 10. He has made his home in Nanaimo since late 2001.

He has a diploma in broadcasting, as well as a degree in global studies and media studies. A majority of his docu-mentaries are social and environmen-tally themed.

Having spent his formative years here, Manly said he knows the riding. He has actively represented the com-munity in the non-profit sector, work-ing with the Council of Canadians and sitting on the Mid-Island Co-op board.

He said he feels he has a good grasp of the issues.

I think jobs are a serious issue in this riding, said Manly. A lot of people have to commute to work elsewhere and so, knocking on doors, Im finding people that have to go and work in camps in northern Alberta or elsewhere, and Im looking right now at a loading facility for shipping raw logs out of the country.

We used to have a lot more value-added work on Vancouver Island than we do now and were shipping off our resources rather than having them processed here.

Manly also said climate change is a pressing issue for residents of the rid-ing.

Were realizing it right now based on the drought that were seeing and were actually watching the effects of

climate change, so the need to switch our economic model away from one thats dependent on fossil fuels to one thats reliant on clean, renewable energy is becoming more and more imperative.

He said Vancouver Island is well placed to become a technology hub for clean green technology, as it has access to renewable energy sources, such as tidal, wind, solar and geother-mal. There is also a growing knowl-edge base and tech sector that is drawn to the quality of life offered in the mid-island.

Health care is also an issue, as previ-ous governments have made cuts.

Weve really moved away from what medicare shouldve been about, which is not just taking care of people when theyre sick, but making sure that we save money in the system by having more preventative care, community care, home care and taking better care of people in the community to have actually a more robust system, Manly said.

The public has a new way to flag ideas for Maffeo Sut-ton Park.

The City of Nanaimo strung pennants along the parks bridges last week, and offered pens so people can write down ideas for the com-munitys most popular water-front park.

The move comes as the city gauges reaction to options for a re-imagined Maffeo Sut-ton Park, in the lead up to an improvement plan.

Different features are being pitched, from a different loca-tion for the childrens park, to piers and expanded beach-front, and the public is invited to weigh in on an online sur-vey and open houses. Resi-dents can also propose other ideas through the flags, a fun and temporary proj-ect to create opportunity for community dialogue and see if people want to be interac-tive and engaged, said Kirsty MacDonald, the citys parks and open space planner.

Within days of stringing them up, flags were almost

full with a wish-list of a small boat ramp for the parking lot to renovated washrooms and an off-leash dog area.

This is a bit of a test for us to try some new ways of getting people excited about whats going on in the park, said MacDonald, whos impressed with the ideas.

If there are reccurring ideas that come up, certainly

theres still flexibility to edit, and the plan will be a flexible plan.

Open houses happen Sept. 14 and 17 at Maffeo Sutton Park, from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. To take a survey on the park improvements, or to see images of a re-imagined downtown park, see http://goo.gl/4V5wMR.

From /1Weve ordered that

pipe and so thats being fabricated now and once its com-pleted and its deliv-ered, we will set up to install it, which basi-cally involves cutting into the old pipe at the beach, installing the tie-in piece dur-ing low tide, and then coupling those pieces together, said Alex-ander.

Alexander estimates the cost of the repairs and pipe installation will be $600,000. The majority of the cost was already part of the budget, but there will be additional cost with tying back into the old line.

I would estimate that about 80 per cent of the cost will be permanent instal-lation. Funds that we wouldve expended anyway, said Alexan-der.

The other 20 per cent will be the tem-porary pipe tie-in and any associated work, he said.

Work for marine pipe replacement is still anticipated to take place sometime in 2016, according to Alexander.

Nanaimo Royal Cana-dian Marine Search and Rescue seeks a few good women and men.

The non-profit organiza-tion devoted to search and rescue operations on the water and boating safety promotion is cur-rently accepting volun-teer applications.

This group is separate from the ground search and rescue organization in Nanaimo.

Successful applicants must be willing to be on call for 12-hour shifts and are required to have a Pleasure Craft Operator Certificate, standard first aid and CPR C-level, and a knowledge of Nanaimos waters. There are also physical demands.

Youve got to be in good shape, said Michel Morin, Nanaimo Marine Rescue Society fundrais-ing director. Basically, during the training,

youve got to be able to jump in the water ... you have to [be able to] jump back into the boat by yourself, using a rope on the side of the boat.

Missions could include assisting boats that are on fire, taking on water, out of gas or needing

engine repair.Additionally, volunteers

must live within 15 min-utes of the rescue station near Brechin Road boat launch, with no excep-tions, according to Morin.

The aim is to be out of the boathouse within 20 minutes.

You have to under-stand also that maybe the people in an emergency could be on the other side of Gabriola Island or they can be anywhere, Morin said. Theyve been in trouble for a half hour before they decide to call for help, plus ...

another 15, 20 minutes, half an hour, to get there.

Its a long time to be on fire when its like an hour and a half. So thats why this is not a relaxed rule.

Ruth Sharun, Nanaimo recruitment officer, said rescue crew arent the only volunteers sought people can assist with other services.

We do a lot of boat-ing safety information, public education presen-tations. We have school visit programs, we attend public events just to provide information to the public, said Sharun. We have maintenance that needs to be done, a society that looks after fundraising.

The organization will begin interviews Wednes-day and Thursday (Sept. 2-3), with training slated for the middle of the month.

For interested people, please contact Sharun by e-mail at [email protected].

In 2014, Nanaimo Marine Search and Res-cue executed 67 mis-sions, saving 13 lives and $650,000 in property, according to the group.

Campfire ban lifted Friday

Campers outside Nanaimos city limits can count on warm late summer nights thanks to B.C. Wildfire Service, which lifted its ban on campfires.

As of noon Friday, campfires are again permitted throughout the Coast Fire Centre jurisdiction due to forecasted cooler, wetter conditions expected to result in a lower wildfire risk.

The City of Nanaimo lifted its ban on cooking fires yesterday. The campfire ban is also lifted on private campground operations in the city.

The B.C. Wildfire Service allows for campfires no larger than a half-metre wide by half-metre high and open fires in outdoor stoves. People lighting campfires must also have a shovel or at least eight litres of water on hand to fully extinguish them. Campfire sites cannot be left unattended unless ashes are completely cold to the touch.

All backyard burning, burning of grass or stubble, fireworks, sky lanterns, burning barrels and binary exploding targets remain banned.

Penalties for contravening a fire ban can range from fines from $345 to $100,000 and one year in jail. People might also be found liable for firefighting costs.

Thentix for Psoriasis

Have you been in an on-going battle with the symptoms of psoriasis?

There are so may myths surrounding this skin condition but we are now selling a product that is inexpensive and is showing remarkable results.

To understand psoriasis these facts are important to remember:

psoriasis is not contagious. It is not a virus or bacteria, it is a skin condition caused by the immune system not working as it should.

psoriasis cannot be cured, it can be treated.

psoriasis is not just dry skin, it is a chronic, inflammatory condition with symptoms that come and go.

psoriasis and eczema are not the same thing. In psoriasis the patches are thicker with well-defined edges. Eczema has flatter red patches.

Learn what some of the triggers of attacks are and try to avoid them (stress, smoking, alcohol, dry, or cold weather and certain items in your diet).

Come in and we will be happy to show you three different products from three different companies that are showing great results in the appearance and comfort level of psoriasis sufferers.

Turn on your TV and change it to a news channel, open a paper, or check the inter-net. Its a policy blizzard out there.

In fact, wed have trouble keeping up if we were covering nothing but announce-ments from the three major political par-ties. While the United States is suffering through a bizarre Republican primary that is light on issues and heavy on Trump, Canada is a policy wonks dream.

Just in the past couple of weeks, weve seen the major party leaders make prom-ises on senate reform, Old Age Security, northern defence, business taxes, even home renovation tax credits. You could criticize some of these announcements. Many of them are on the small scale side of things.

Weve called for a debate on big issues things like global warming, but we could as easily have said health care or the role of Canadas military, post-secondary education, veterans and the future of our economy.

So far, we havent seen too much dis-cussion of those big issues. But the party leaders have a long road ahead of them, and they have to save some ammunition for September and October, when every-ones back from summer getaways and can really get down to paying attention to the news again.

Right now, at the very least, there are issues on the table. Not all of these issues are minor, either when Harper talks about expanding the Junior Canadian Rangers, or Mulcair wants to return Old Age Security to 65 from 67 years, those are both indications of significant priorities for their potential governments.

Were in the middle of a long, long campaign. The leaders could have been excused for stretching things out, going to rallies, and not saying much.

Instead, weve actually seen a lot of talk about how things would go under Trudeau, Harper, and Mulcair. It may be a little piecemeal right now, but it could be worse we could be talking about Donald Trump.

EDITORIAL

Natural Capital at Risk, the Top 100 Externalities of Businessis a 2013 report by Trucost consultants for the Economics of Ecosystem and Biodiversity for Business Coalition, supporting the uptake of natural capital accounting in business decision-making. I translate that as a look at how fast global economic activity is using up the surface of the planet to make monetary profits without paying the price of natural resource depletion.

The report monetizes the value of unpriced natural capital consumed by primary production (agriculture, forestry, fisheries, mining, oil and gas exploration, utilities) and some primary processing (cement, steel, pulp and paper, petrochemicals) in the global economy.

Its a waste of time to try to put prices on priceless assets such as clean air, water and land. Its not 100 years since the popular song The Best Things in Life Are Free was written and enjoyed by millions, yet here is a solemn and earnest report from some earnest and learned consultants putting prices

on what they presume to call natural capital, in an attempt to proceed with business as usual.

As I plough through the executive summary of this report, Trucost tells me that if water were to be priced according to its availability, 27 per cent of profits would be at risk across the worlds largest companies. What I think

they mean is that if companies had to pay what Trucost has decided is the true cost of water, they would not be able to make a profit. Good. That might stop Nestl stuffing other peoples water into polluting plastic bottles to hydrate people who havent done anything to dehydrate

themselves.The report continues, some

business activities do not generate sufficient profit to cover their natural resource use and pollution costs. Why, I ask, should any business expect to be allowed to exchange money for natural resource use and pollution costs?

Getting realistic, the report states: Growing business demand for natural capital, and falling supply due to

environmental degradation and events such as drought, are contributing to natural resource constraints, including water scarcity.

Finally, I reach Trucosts recommendations emerging from their assumption that the business methods that have led us to the brink of disaster can help us recover. Companies should start to figure out how to internalize natural capital costs. Investors should start to build natural capital risks into asset appraisal and portfolio risk. Governments should develop policies that help businesses to position themselves for a natural capital-constrained world.

Did I forget to mention that Trucost estimated the unpriced natural capital costs at $7.3 trillion US relating to land use, water consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, pollution and waste for more than 1,000 global primary production and primary processing region-sectors?

How fast do we think profit-maximizing companies, money-hungry investors and timid governments will achieve such savings?

To the Editor,Re: Minority signs code of

conduct, Aug. 20.I am sure that many of

the voters, like myself, are very disappointed in the behaviour of those council-lors that were voted in to represent us and the city of Nanaimo in a mature, professional manner.

Are the councillors who refused to sign the declara-tion afraid of being held accountable for their poor conduct? Do they realize that some of their past behaviour observed at meetings would not be tol-

erated in most other jobs?One can only assume

that they do, and therefore they will not sign any-thing that may hold them accountable for this poor display.

It is a well-known fact that people who are in con-stant power struggles with any type of governance are very insecure, and their outbursts or inappropriate behavior helps to cover this up. That is not who we want representing us, or our city. Time to grow up.

Judy TraitkoNanaimo

To the Editor,Re: Minority signs code of

conduct, Aug. 20.I am glad to see only a

handful of council signed that code of conduct. As your story states, it is not mandatory to sign. So who would? The head-nodders who bob to every staff and spending whim.

It takes guts to stand up, debate and ask questions of any establishment bent on pushing its perceived priorities.

More important it should be noted that any council-lor can challenge the chair

(mayor) on a ruling he makes to cut off or throw out a councillor or a mem-ber of the public. This is a law under the B.C. Com-munity Charter. When a challenge to the chair is made, a council vote must be called where the chair cannot vote and a tie or majority vote against the ruling voids it.

That is democracy, where the elected majority decides. Not one politician who could just be imposing their perceived might.

To the Editor,Re: Parents begin

campaign against pos-sible school closures, Aug. 27.

Nanaimo-Ladysmith School District trust-ees will hear further information regarding school closures this month. I wish to add to that data.

North Nanaimo is currently experienc-ing great growth, including the 600-unit Linley Valley development. The projected enrolment figures being pre-sented to the public do not include these developments. If Rutherford is closed, remaining schools will be over capac-ity resulting in the

need for portables at multiple sites. This is not acceptable. This is not responsible planning and I do not believe this is the leg-acy the current board of trustees wish to leave.

In 2013, Nanaimo school district hired Doug Player, an experienced and respected educa-tor, to develop an enhanced facility plan. His results pre-sented in June 2014 included that Ruth-erfords population will remain within the optimal school size guidelines. His report called for the rebuilding of Ruther-ford school, a far cry from closing it.

He stated that Rutherfords site was among the very best in the province. He recognized and honoured that Ruth-erford was a vital and necessary school within the district. It is difficult to under-stand whatever could have changed within 12 short months.

School closures is a very emotional topic. However, I believe the very clear facts and data regarding Rutherford school support keeping it open and thriving. I ask that the trustees remove Rutherfords name from the list of possible closures.

To the Editor,Re: Mayor seeks sup-

port for investment trip, Aug. 18.

I cant believe the mayor wants $11,000 for another trade mis-sion to China. This comes a year after Nanaimo Economic Development Corpora-tion was over there. Has anything concrete come out of that trip?

Now, the economy in China is in trouble which has caused huge problems with the Canadian stock exchange as well as others. Do we want other investors to come forward with a hotel proposal now, only to sit on the fence for the next number of years like the last fiasco?

To me, this council is flogging a dead horse. Something else needs to be done with the conference centre.

Why was it built in the first place when there is one in Victoria and also Vancouver? It would have made more sense to build a sports centre.

The City of Nanaimo issued a water qual-ity advisory Friday ahead of anticipated heavy rainfall on the weekend.

With a long dry period, there could be an increase in sediment running into Nanaimos drink-ing water supply and residents might notice cloudy or dis-coloured tap water, a city press release

says. After such a long period without rain, it is likely that heavy rain will wash this into creeks and rivers near the citys drinking water intake.

Residents with com-promised immune systems should boil drinking water for one minute.

Updates will be available on the City of Nanaimos webpage and Twitter account.

Water quality advisory issued

By Tamara CunninghamThe News BulleTiN

Lantzvilles new top bureaucrat plans to bring calm to the district as he settles into his new role.

Chief administrative offi-cer Brad McRae takes his position for the first time this week, arriving as new politicians are sworn in and councils full powers are restored.

Its the second town management position for the new CAO, whos risen quickly in the world of municipal government. In four years, he climbed the corporate ladder from a senior bylaw officer at the City of Williams Lake to manager of bylaw services at City of North Vancouver and to top administrator at the District of Lillooet. He resigned to take the posi-tion in Lantzville.

Its probably one of the fastest rises in municipal government history, said McRae, who credits his promotions to support and the knowledge of what he wanted to do and how he was going to get there.

L a n t z v i l l e s re c e n t upheaval, including the res-ignation of four politicians and three senior managers isnt a concern for McRae, who points out that every

municipality has levels of turmoil, including Saanich and Nanaimo. His focus is on whats gone right, what can be built upon and get-ting immersed in the com-munity as quickly as pos-sible to gain corporate knowledge lost with the exit of senior administra-

tors. One of his first tasks will be filling the director of finance and community planner positions.

My thoughts of this are, Im here now. Were hitting Day 1 on Monday. We have four new councillors that obviously put their names forward to make a posi-

tive change, we have three councillors who continue to stay and want to make positive change to Lantz-ville, said McRae.

The new manager sees it as premature to say what he will bring to the dis-trict. The worst thing he can do is walk in after a lot of change has happened and make more changes, he said, adding the district now needs to reclaim its identity and trust in each other at a political and management level.

We just need to find that inner calm before we decide how collec-tively were going to make changes, he said. My job is to learn this municipality and make good decisions and you cant do that by walking in Day 1 without having the lay of the land, without having the back-ground, without having the information you need to make before you move forward on giving recom-mendations.

McRae, who moved to north Nanaimo with his wife and six-year-old daughter, did his under-graduate studies at the University of Victoria and has been trying to get back to the Island for a long time.

This isnt a stepping stone, he said.

For the first time, I feel like Im home. My job is to make Lantzville the best Lantzville it can be.

IBRad McRaE has experience in lillooet, North Van.By Tamara Cunningham

The News BulleTiN

Cedar farm owners forged ahead with a writ-ers retreat last weekend despite warnings of legal and enforcement action from the Regional District of Nanaimo.

Thistledown Farm owners Laurie Gourlay and Jackie Moad hosted a retreat for about a dozen writers, poets and authors at their eight-hectare bed and breakfast, defiant of a warning by the regional district and its legal counsel that the event or any public assembly is not allowed on the property and could prompt enforcement action.

The Regional District of Nanaimo reports that its received complaints about the retreat and that zoning regulations do not allow pub-lic assembly or camping on the property. An advertisement for the event showed there would be both.

Gourlay, however, told the News Bulletin Thursday that he and Moad were prepared to go to court. Hes frustrated, confused and feels the district was unwilling to answer questions. This also isnt the first time theyve hosted an event. They open their property to non-profits and other activities, including the regional dis-tricts Green Building home tour last year.

Its not like its Woodstock or something thats going on, said Gourlay. Its just a little gathering, quiet, some writers getting together to talk and compare notes.

Jeremy Holm, regional district manager of current planning, who spoke to the News Bul-letin prior to the event, said the RDN has had complaints and is obligated to enforce land use regulations. They provided advice on the issue and are open to talking to the property owners but believe the use, as described in the event program, is contrary to zoning regulations and constitutes public assembly.

It will be up to the regional district board if any enforcement action is taken, he said.

Wendy McNeills album, One Colour More, touches on themes of the mass immigration and emigration that is currently taking place overseas. McNeill will be performing at the Vault Caf on Friday (Sept. 4).

inspirationWendy McNeills latest album influenced by

ongoing migrant crisis

D ay by day, week by week, more and more people arrive on European soil. Theyve come from war ravaged regions such as North Africa, Syria and other parts in the Middle East, often paying thousands of dollars to risk their lives for a chance at something more.

But their arrival on European soil has not always come with a warm reception.

Its something that European-based singer-songwriter Wendy McNeill has seen first hand.

Since being in Europe it has become an issue that I see every day, McNeill said. Whether it is Romani people having their camps set on fire or whether it is people try-ing to get over from North Africa and getting turned away from ports not far from where I live in Spain.

The ongoing European migrant crisis is the inspiration behind the folk-noir singers lat-est record, One Colour More.

It is all stories about immigration and emi-gration, McNeill said.

On Friday (Sept. 4), McNeill will be per-forming at the Vault Caf.

I am looking forward it, she said. I havent been on the Island for years now.

McNeills stop in Nanaimo is part of a Cana-dian tour that has given her a small break from the ongoing migrant crisis back home, which has been dominating the headlines in Europe for months but has received less attention in North America.

It is very relaxing in that sense to be here because it is like oh my God it doesnt exist, McNeill said.

From /11But it does exist.

I know because I am going back [to Spain] and I will see it first hand.

McNeill, originally from Alberta, moved to Europe roughly a decade ago, where she has lived in Swe-den, France and now Spain.

Her music career began in the early 2000s after making the transition from being a dancer.

I was always kind of a word writer and then gradually shifted into music, she said.

One Colour More is McNeills sixth record and contains songs such Papusza And The Crows and Civilized Sadness, which tell individual stories of some of the migrants that the she has encoun-tered while living in Europe.

I dont really take a side or make a bold statement in the record, McNeill said. I just tell the stories of the people and try to give one single voice and a face to

something. Papusza and the

Crows is a song Romani people also known as Roma or gypsies and their struggles, while

Civilized Sadness is about the 1988 Halabja gas attack in Iraq.

McNeill wrote Civi-lized Sadness after meeting a number of Kurdish people who told stories about the event at a language class she was taking in Sweden.

Everybody in my class was from all over the place, she said. I learned more about Ramadan in Sweden than I ever

did in Canada.Germany and Swe-

den are among the top destinations for migrants and refu-gees with the latter accepting roughly 80,000 asylum seek-ers last year.

I think the Swedish government is doing the right thing, McNeill said. But at the same time they are getting so much stress that they are losing the average citizen.

In the last few years of living in Europe, McNeill says shes seen it all from Roma people being beaten in the streets to old Swedish women becoming intimated by the amount of immigrants.

It is just a lot of people getting squished together really quickly and people act like ani-mals, she said.

McNeill performs at the Vault Cafe at 8 p.m. Tickets are $10 at the door.

A downtown Nanaimo building has become the temporary home for some new artwork.

Last Thursday, Mayor Bill McKay and the Nanaimo Arts Council offi-cially opened the Where the Old Meets the New: Established and Emerging Artists of exhibit inside the E.J. Hughes Gallery Hallway at the Van-couver Island Con-ference Centre.

The exhibit fea-tures pieces by Nixie Barton, Nata-sha Broad, Dennis Brown, Julie Dives, Willow Friday, Gerda Hofman, Grant Leier, Carly Neigum and Lance Van Dyk.

McKay says the artwork will add some much-needed colour to the space.

This was a pretty bland space before ... the artists added

some colour and life to it, McKay said at the recep-tion.

The mayor believes the exhibit will draw some peo-ple into the down-town building.

It is going to bring people in off the street, McKay said. It is going bring people who are visiting and attending confer-ences here down to this space so they can enjoy the work.

The exhibit is a partnership between the Van-couver Island Con-ference Centre and the Nanaimo Arts Council.

People can access the E.J. Hughes Gal-lery Hallway, 101 Gordon St., from Commercial Street.
