Nanaimo Fire Rescue is puz-zling out the cause of a fire thatgutted a vacant house Tuesday.

Firefighters found the interior of the house at 2021 Northfield Rd. fully engulfed in flames whenthey arrived at about 11 p.m.

Ennis Mond, fire prevention officer, who was investigating thescene Wednesday morning, said

no one was in the house whenfirefighters arrived and no onewas injured.

The fire appeared, upon initial inspection, to have started in acentral room of the home, but nocause had been determined. Mond estimated the house to be about 80 to 100 years old.

The house was scheduled for demolition and is located in anarea planned for redevelopment. A rezoning application notice, to

change the property from single dwelling residential to row hous-ing, is posted in the home’s front yard.

Mond said the house has been vacant for at least one year and was being looked after by a trust company, but electricity was still supplied to the building prior to the fire. He did not know when thetrust company last inspected the property.

Cause unclear in fire that gutted house

It was the year of the grow-ing surplus for Nanaimo schooldistrict last year.

The district ended the 2011-12 year with a $3.2-million sur-plus – up from the $2.8-millionsurplus predicted last May, the $2.3 million expected earlier in the spring, and the $900,000 forecast last October.

It is the highest surplus the district has had looking back 12 years, said Phil Turin, sec-retary-treasurer.

He credits tight controlson spending, savings due toteacher job action and the fund-ing protection grant, which ensured the district receivedthe same amount in its operat-ing budget as the previous yeardespite declining enrolment,for the higher-than-normal surplus.

Trustees approved the dis-trict’s 2011-12 audited financial statements with the final num-bers at a special board meeting last week.

Turin said the growth of $400,000 in the surplus funds,which happened between hislast forecast at the end of May and now, is mainly due to extra and unanticipated provincial funding for the district’s dis-tance learning students, add-ing that his forecasted surplus in May was conservative.

Of the $3.2-million surplus,$1.6 million was set aside lastspring to balance this year’sbudget and another $1.16 mil-lion of the surplus is moneyrestricted for specific expendi-tures such as school supplies,community schools and com-munications.

The unrestricted operat-ing surplus is $480,000, whichTurin hopes to put toward nextyear’s budget, as last spring hepredicted a budget shortfall ofabout $2.1 million for the 2013-14 school year.

“Hopefully we can put it inthe cupboard for a bit,” hesaid. “The funding protectionis going to go away graduallyand enrolment is not goingup, so we’ve got to face thoseissues.”

For the past 12 years, thedistrict has ended every yearbut one with a surplus and theaverage year-end surplus overthat time period is $1.3 million,Turin added.

Jamie Brennan, school board chairman, said the district hasbeen able to improve the class-room situation to some extent– officials are trying to keepall classrooms at 30 studentsor less this year.

The surplus also meant otherimprovements, he added.

Last June, the board ear-marked $174,000 for technologyupgrades and $72,000 to buy 12automatic floor scrubbers.

But with funding protectionon the decline, Turin cautionedtrustees not to expect the situ-ation to remain as it is now,Brennan said.

Fires promptinvestigations

Ennis Mond, NanaimoFire Rescue fire prevention officer,had his work cut out for him when heshowed up a the officeMonday morning to find eight fires over theweekend waiting to be investigated.

All fires appearedto be human-caused and minor, except for a car fire that started shortly before 7 a.m.Monday on the 100 block of O’Hara Place.Mond deemed the fire suspicious.

“I’m quite confidentsomebody set the fire,”Mond said.

Firefighters respondedto four fires Saturday night. The first was in atrash can on the 3000 block of Barons Roadshortly after 6 p.m.,which was chalked up to poorly discarded smoking materials.

The second blaze was a brush fire that ignitedon the 2200 block of Boxwood Road at about 10 p.m. It was possibly sparked by a transientperson camping in the area, Mond said.

Two fires near the E&NTrail happened a fewhours later. One on the 300 block of Cypress Street started shortly after 10 p.m. whensomeone allegedly lit a jacket on fire. A third fire on the 800 block of St. Andrews Streethappened at aboutthe same time whencardboard boxes wereset alight on the road.Mond is looking at thepossibility one person lit both fires.

Shortly before 2 a.m.Monday a tire was liton fire on the road in the 800 block of Georgia Avenue. Two fires in planters Monday morning were attributedto careless smokers.

Nanaimo Regional GeneralHospital’s new emergency wing opened its doors to an official grand opening ceremony and tours Monday.

The $36.9-million project is a 3,082 square-metre expansion, tri-pling the size of the hospital’s old emergency department to meet the demands of a population on central Vancouver Island that isgrowing and aging.

NRGH has the busiest emer-gency department on the Island.The new wing replaces an over-worked and overcrowded emer-gency room – originally designed to handle 15,000 patients a year, but currently handles more than57,000 patients annually – andincludes psychiatric emergencyservices and a psychiatric inten-sive care unit.

Architectural and technical innovations include green build-ing elements such as automatedwindow shading, radiant panelheating and direct digital tem-perature control.

Natural lighting through win-dows, skylights and courtyardsbuilt into the structure saves

energy, speeds healing and pro-vides a calming setting for patients and their families.

B.C. Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid, who presided over the emergency wing’s opening,praised the facility and the prov-ince’s funding toward the proj-ect, but placed equal importanceon the people who will staff the department, many of who wereinside practising emergency sce-narios and taking part in orienta-tion sessions as she spoke.

“We think of doctors and nurses, but there are so many other people involved in the care of patients, each and every one of them bringing their skill andtheir compassion,” MacDiarmid said.

“When you come through the doors of this hospital into theemergency department andyou’re at your most vulnerableand your needs are greatest, to know that you can look into the eyes of the people who work here and you can see they care aboutyou, they’re compassionate andthey’re skilled, that they arecoming in and they know what they’re doing. It gives somebody confidence and helps them to feelbetter.”

Opening ceremonies were fol-lowed by tours for dignitaries, local and provincial governmentrepresentatives, staff from other hospital departments, the publicand media throughout the day.

Nanaimo and District HospitalFoundation has raised $3 millionof a $4-million pledge to purchase life-saving equipment for the new wing.

Construction costs were cov-ered by a $19.7-million contribu-tion from the provincial govern-ment, plus $13.2 million from the Regional District of Nanaimo.

The new emergency wing isscheduled to start receivingpatients Oct. 1.

A Campbell River killer was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 23 yearsfor the second-degree murders of two men.

Darcy Kozak was sentenced by Justice James Williams in Victo-ria B.C. Supreme Court on Fridayfor killing Kenneth Robinson, a 45-year-old homeless man from Nanaimo and Kenneth Allan Leask, 44, from Powell River.

Kozak was also handed an11-year concurrent sentence for the murder of Campbell River’sLuc Dulude whom Kozak metwhile in jail.

Kozak, 40, had already pleaded guilty Aug. 30 to two counts of sec-ond degree murder and one count

of manslaughter in Dulude’sdeath. He was originally facing three counts of first degree mur-der. A three-month long trial inB.C. Supreme Court was avoided with Kozak’s guilty pleas.

During sentencing, the courtheard how Kozak tortured hisvictims before killing them.

Kozak confined, stabbed, burned and beat Robinson in a trailernear Shawnigan Lake in May2007.

Robinson was then left to dieunder a tarp, as revenge for alleg-edly stealing Kozak’s truck.

One year later, Kozak, who was angered by Leask spending $5,000he was given to start a marijuanagrow-op, hung Leask upside downand beat him over a period of sev-eral days before smothering himwith a plastic bag. His body was

dumped in the ocean off of Camp-bell River.

Dulude’s body was found in December 2008 in an abandonedcommercial building – a former bakery owned by a company of Janice Bridges, Kozak’s girlfriend – in Willow Point.

Dulude was a career criminal who moved to Campbell Riverfrom Kamloops in August 2008 after being released from prisonfollowing his sixth robbery con-viction.

In the fall of 2008, Dulude was shot in the abdomen by a friend of Kozak’s in a garage in Camp-bell River.

He was wrapped in plastic stillalive and his body was put intothe back of a pickup truck.

One week after Dulude’s body was found, Kozak was discovered

in a Campbell River motel room inpossession of a loaded handgun.

He was arrested, charged withweapons offences and later served30 days in jail after coming upwith a plea agreement.

In June 2007, Kozak led police ona wild chase near Victoria whichresulted in eight accidents.

Kozak pleaded guilty to sev-eral charges stemming from thatincident and received one year injail, but was given credit for pre-trial custody of seven-and-a-halfmonths.

In Friday’s sentencing, JusticeWilliams set parole at 23 yearsbecause he took into accountKozak’s guilty pleas whichallowed the families to avoid tes-tifying during a court case.

A Nanaimo womanwho claims an inject-able beauty treat-ment left her perma-nently disfigured will

have her case heardin B.C. Supreme Court in February.

Sharon Loganlaunched a lawsuitagainst Dermatech,Intradermal Dis-tribution Inc. and

Vivier Pharma Inc. in B.C. Supreme Court in 2009.

Last year, the Supreme Court approved certifica-tion of Logan’s caseas a class proceeding.

Logan alleges thatshe was not warnedabout the true risks associated with theuse of Dermalive,a product licensed for use in Canadabetween 2003 and

2007 that was meantto be a permanentfiller for wrinklesand other facial imperfections.

In May 2006, Logan had the productinjected into her faceand about six monthslater, she reporteddeveloping lumps on her face.

Her doctor tried tofix the problem withpainful steroid injec-tions to no avail andshe has small bumps and red scars run-ning along her lip, cheek and nose.

Her lawyer, DavidRosenberg, said about 60 patientswho were injected with Dermalive have signed on to the classaction so far.

He said the casewill go to trial start-ing on Feb. 25 and thehearing is scheduled to last 10 days.

In the meantime,Rosenberg said the details on how to giveappropriate notice to potential class mem-bers are still before the courts.

Rosenberg said Dermalive’s maker, France-based Der-matech, went bank-rupt and the ongoing litigation is againstIntradermal Dis-tribution Inc. and Vivier Pharma Inc.,Canadian companies Logan’s suit alleges imported and distrib-uted the product as a joint enterprise.

John Vamplew, aVancouver lawyer representing Intra-dermal and Vivier Pharma, had no com-ment for the mediaabout the case.

It might be the only time this year you’ll see an NHL jersey.

But a lockout won’t stop staff at Black Press from don-ning their favourite jerseys in support of youth sports programs on Sept. 28.

Taking a cue from the successful Jeans Day cam-paigns, Black Press staff, which includes employees from across Vancouver Island and the Nanaimo News Bulletin, will donate $2 for the priviledge of wearing a jersey from their favourite sports team.

The company invites the community to take part, don-ning jerseys from hockey, football, baseball and more.Nanaimo Clippers and V.I. Raiders jerseys – even thejunior B hockey expansion team Nanaimo Buccaneers – are fair game.

People and businesses participating can also sharephotos of their jersey day on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/nanaimobulletin.

Money collected will be donated to KidSport, a com-munity based sport-funding program that provides grants for children ages 18 and under to participate in a sport season of their choice. For more information onthe program, please visit www.kidsport.ca

Forests are oftenreferred to as the lungs of the world.

“Trees are our carbonsinks,” said Gail Adri-enne, executive direc-tor of the Nanaimoand Area Land Trust. “Every time you plant a tree in the ground you create more bio-diversity for animalsand are improving air quality.”

This Saturday (Sept. 22) those lungs will gain strength in num-bers as 50 volunteers plant about 250 treesand shrubs in the Third Street area to celebrate the autum-nal equinox. Adriennesaid volunteers will also remove invasivespecies, replacing it with native plants such as broadleaf maple, salmonberry, thimble-berry and others.

The planting event is

a partnership betweenNALT, TD Friendsof the Environment Foundation and Ever-green Canada and is occurring in morethan 135 communitiesacross the country. TDFriends has a goal ofplanting 40,000 trees this year with the helpof community part-ners.

“ We u n d e r s t a n dreforestation is impor-tant. As a bank we usepaper but we’re con-scious of it and know as a bank we are using resources in the envi-ronment,” said Mandip Kharod, regional man-ager for the Pacific and

Prairie region for TDFriends of the Envi-ronment Foundation.

She said TD is alwayslooking for opportuni-ties to give back.

Space is available for50 volunteers and onlya few spots remain.Volunteers will meetSaturday at 1 p.m. inthe Nanaimo Ice Cen-tre parking lot and areasked to pre-registerat www.tdtreedays.com/en-ca/sites/72-Nanaimo.

BY CHRIS HAMLYNTHE NEWS BULLETIN

Loaves and Fishes Commu-nity Food Bank has endured a difficult summer with its ware-house, cupboards and even shelves bare of the necessities to help feed Nanaimo’s hungry.

That all changed in a hurry Saturday through the efforts of the community and the second annual B.C. Thanksgiving FoodDrive.

Organized in Nanaimo bythe Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, the one-daydrive produced 12,700 kilo-grams of food worth more than $68,000.

More than 220 volunteershelped deliver paper grocerybags to 10,000 Nanaimo homes Sept. 9-10, collect the bags with non-perishable food items Sat-urday and then sort and deliverit to Loaves and Fishes.

“We had a 32-foot semi-trailer and they filled it one and half times with 24 pallets of food,” said Peter Sinclair, Loaves and Fishes executive director. “Our warehouse was pretty muchempty and now it’s completelyfull. Clients coming into the food bank today are getting substantially more food than

they have been getting and itsgood-quality food.”

Bob D’Lerma, food drive chairman, said the support from the community and busi-nesses and the response fromthe residents was great.

“Everybody in the churchgot onboard, volunteers helped out from the community …it’s all very humbling,” he said. “We’re already getting calls from individuals and businesses asking how to getinvolved next year.”

Sinclair said the food drivehas given Loaves and Fishes abuffer they can dip into if they have a lower week of dona-tions.

“This, combined with thedonations that keep coming in, should get us comfortably through to Christmas,” he said. “The fact of the matter is thelast eight weeks we have been scraping bottom, and to have $68,000 worth of food come in – and all sorted – was quiteastounding. They did a fan-tastic job. They pulled all thatenthusiasm and focused it for one day and the results reallyspeak for themselves.”

Last year’s drive saw grocerybags delivered to 5,400 house-holds in the city with 7,200 kg

of food returned.D’Lerma said the goal is to

double what they do every yearuntil they reach every house in Nanaimo.

“We’re quickly outgrowing our space, but that’s a good problem,” he said. “We’re already looking for a largervenue for next year.”

Provincewide, the B.C.Thanksgiving Food Drive col-lected an estimated 160,000 kg of food for 50 food banks.

Volunteers collect thousands of kilograms of food


The new executive directorof the United Way Central and Northern Vancouver Island will be a familiar face for many of the organizations the agency helps.

Signy Madden, who startedwork at United Way full-time two weeks ago, has spent the past 15 years working with Island non-profit organizations, helping groups with fundraising cam-paigns, communication plans andstrategic planning.

As a partner of Clayton Con-sulting, she helped numerous Nanaimo charities over the years, including St. John Ambulance Society, the Bethlehem RetreatCentre, Nanaimo Community Hospice Society and Haven Soci-ety.

“Half the agencies we fund,I’ve had some dealing with,” saidMadden. “It’s just a different hat I’m wearing now.”

Before working as a consultant on the Island, Madden, originallyfrom Ontario, lived in Vancou-ver for about five years, working as executive director of OptionYouth Society and general man-ager of the Vancouver East Cul-tural Centre.

The move to the Island occurred when she and husband GeorgeHanson, also a principal of Clay-ton Consulting, started thinking about raising a family.

The Port Theatre had just been built and Madden was impressedthat the community ran such a successful fundraising campaign.

“I thought a community thathad that vision, that could buildthat kind of facility, would be agood place to put down roots,’”she said.

“This community is supportive of making a change, making a dif-ference.”

Madden is also on the Nanaimo-Ladysmith Schools Foundation’s board of directors, a member of the education committee for theVancouver Island Association ofFundraising Professionals and is

a certified fundraising executive.When the United Way job

cropped up, Madden went for itbecause of the major impact the organization has on the commu-nity and how many organizations are touched by it.

“I thought this would be a great place to help the community,” shesaid. “We raise about $1 million here in central and north Vancou-ver Island.”

About $700,000 was raised last year in the central Island, which includes Ladysmith, Nanaimo and the Parksville regions.

With that money, the United Way supports the charitable work

of more than 20 central Island agencies.

Madden’s goal is to increase theamount of money raised annu-ally to narrow the gap between funding requests and the amountthe agency is able to dole out – the United Way received about $1million in requests last year.

“After working with many charities across the Island, Ibecame familiar with the serious issues our community is facing,” she said. “There’s a great deal of need and a lot of agencies don’thave the ability to do fundraisers.We can connect donors with solv-ing problems in our communityand to me, there isn’t anything better than that.”

Madden is also committed tohelping the United Way take onmore leadership opportunities, helping to create partnershipsbetween agencies and enabling charities to become more effi-cient.

“There’s so much more theUnited Way can do other than raising the money and giving itout,” she said.

Don Bonner, president of United Way Central and North-ern Vancouver Island, said in ane-mailed response that Madden has the leadership skills and pas-sion to take the agency to a new level of meaningful community engagement, impact and leader-ship.

The Nanaimo Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints proved it takes acommunity to feed a community with itsefforts during the B.C. Thanksgiving FoodDrive.

The church helped organize hundreds of its own volunteers, other Nanaimoresidents and Island businesses in acampaign to help fill the shelves at Loaves and Fishes Community FoodBank.

From distributing donated papergrocery bags to 10,000 homes around the city and collecting them filled withnon-perishable items a week later, to sorting the food and delivering it to Loaves and Fishes, the campaign ran likea well-oiled machine.

The effort paid off with 12,700 kilograms of food now filling the foodbank’s warehouse. That number proves residents are willing to give generously, but it takes some organization.

The food bank makes it as easy aspossible for individuals to give with drop off locations throughout the city andgrocery stores often have complete mealpackages available for purchase. All it takes is a little effort to help someone in need.

Yet, it doesn’t always happen that way.This summer was a prime example

of how the food bank and its clients suffered from a lack of donations.

Although $68,000 of donated food hasfilled the shelves of the food bank, don’t for a second think the crisis is over.

Loaves and Fishes goes through $40,000 worth of food every month, soall the drive has done is create a much-appreciated buffer to get through until Christmas when people’s minds onceagain turn to giving to the less fortunate.

The community needs to continuegiving, but now it’s up to individuals tocome through.

Efforts like the one by the Latter Day Saints take months to prepare and thefood bank hasn’t got that much time.

Mike de Jong’s debut as B.C.finance minister was a grim one.

The first financial update for this election year projects a$1.4-billion decline in natural resource revenues from KevinFalcon’s one and only budget in February.

Most of that is from declining natural gas revenues in the nextthree years. And it’snot just the price of gas that’s lower than the finance ministry’s array of private sectorexperts had forecast.

The volume of B.C.gas sold is down as well, as abundant newsources of shale gas come on-stream in theU.S. As with oil, that’s currently the only market Canada has.

And it wasn’t long ago that the energy ministry wastrumpeting its monthly totals for “bonus bids” paid by gas compa-nies for drilling rights in north-eastern B.C. That gold rush haswound down as shale depositsare staked and the price falls.

De Jong’s response shows how serious this problem is for any B.C. government.

He inherits Falcon’s political commitment to present a bal-anced budget next spring. How he will do that, and be believed in a heated post-HST election campaign, remains a mystery.

De Jong announced a hiring freeze for government staff, anda management salary freeze

across health care, universitiesand Crown corporations as wellas government operations.

He hinted at an even harderline with unions, as the govern-ment’s largest employee groupcontinued selective strike action.

This, and the familiar vow torein in travel and other discre-tionary spending, won’t come

close to replacing the lost gas revenues.

Asset sales, whichFalcon came up within a desperate effortto dig the governmentout of its huge sales tax hole, won’t showup on the books until next year, if they go ahead at all.

Raising taxes or fees? Forget it. It’s eithercut programs or runanother deficit.

The one glimmer of hope in what de Jong called the “ugly” resource revenue picture is that natural gas revenues don’t havemuch farther to fall. And then there is the light at the far end ofthe tunnel, exports to Asia wherethe price remains much higher.

That project took two impor-tant steps forward last week.Spectra Energy and British mul-tinational BG Group unveiled plans for a third major pipelineto bring northeast gas to the coast, this one to a site nearPrince Rupert proposed for a liq-uefied natural gas facility.

And on Friday, the Haisla Nation and the B.C. government

announced a land-use agreementto develop another LNG exportfacility on the Douglas Channel near Kitimat. Two proposals inthat area have already received federal export permits and financing from global energyplayers, including Chinese,Japanese and Korean companies.

One of the bills jammedthrough by the B.C. Liberalsin the hectic legislative ses-sion this spring was to do awaywith another of those federal-provincial overlaps that makeindustrial development so slow and difficult.

Ottawa has sole authority to regulate reserve lands, butagreed to delegate that to B.C. and the Haisla, allowing them to pioneer the latest agreement.

This is a major breakthrough,not just in the industrial devel-opment of northern B.C., but in dismantling the century-oldlogjam of aboriginal resource claims.

At the centre of Premier Christy Clark’s much-promoted jobs plan is the target of having three LNG export terminals andassociated pipelines in produc-tion by 2020.

That now looks like a morerealistic target. But the jobs andrevenues won’t arrive in time to save the B.C. Liberals from theircurrent predicament.

Designing a logonot an easy task

To the Editor,Re: Parents angry over

logo cost, Sept. 18. Reactive responses to the

cost of business servicesare often a consequence ofinsufficient information.

As with many business services, it is important to know what is involvedto appreciate the costs forprofessional service.

If you check out IonBranding and Design, you will see they are a firstrate Canadian design firmwith extensive and much-awarded experience in the field of graphic identity design.

In any qualified designfirm, the design of anidentity involves not justspitting out a one-off logo but a careful, thoughtfulprocess of analysis andimplementation. While I haven’t seen the requestfor proposal specifica-tions for School District68, typically a logo designrequires a needs and scope assessment, a collec-tion and review of exist-ing identity materials, andidentification of all past, present and future uses of the logo.

The designers will con-sult with the client and design an overall identitylook, and a method for how a logo and typog-raphy will be applied toapplications such as let-terhead, signage, vehicles,websites, forms, bro-chures, uniforms, schoolproperty and so on.

Then a designer hasto create artwork anddetailed specifications and measurements for: set up for the variousapplications described; for usage and printing;for layout grids, typefaces and colour codes; and a

guide manual. A logo design is more

complicated than onemight think. In order tobe done properly and espe-cially to minimize future costs a careful process is required.

Sounds to me like the trustees are acting withintegrity and hiring quali-fied experts to provide a lasting usable identity.

K. Hodgsonretired design teacher

Gabriola Island

Plans for identitydon’t assist kids


logo cost, Sept. 18. Thank you for publish-

ing the district branding decision that was madeby the school board and trustees.

I need to add my voice to the outcry. I think the first thing the school board andthe trustees should think about before they spend any money whatsoever onanything is how does this directly affect the children in a positive way.

They need to hear fromus as parents on ourextreme dissatisfaction onwasteful spending.

This logo could bedesigned for free by a stu-dent. It could be a contestand a local company could choose the winner.

There isn’t any needto employ an expensive Vancouver company. Theschools in Nanaimo arenot a big corporation. We are a community.

It would mean so muchmore to us to spend themoney on artists in the schools, or books for the libraries, or just about anything that wouldactually benefit the kids directly.

I think there are too

many trustees, and posi-tions in the school boardthat are useless in regards to directly making ourchildren’s education more meaningful.

I’d rather the principalswere able to hire peoplewho are experts in mathor science or art or lit-erature to come in andengage the children in workshops where they actually do something and, heaven forbid, learn. The $24,000 would go a really long way in this.

I also think the boardcould do as good a jobwith six trustees instead of nine. The money savedon salaries could go to theclassrooms for supplies or classes in visual arts anddrama, both of which aresorely lacking within the current curriculum.

We are a lovely commu-nity in Nanaimo. Let’s allband together and makesome changes that will begood for our children, andnot support the ridicu-lous bureaucracy that the school board and the trustees have become.

Valentina CardinalliNanaimo

Voters can dealwith logo issue


logo cost, Sept. 18. If money is being spent

foolishly by foolishly-elected officials, the pub-lic should spend more time and attention to who it elects as its board of trustees.

We have to have a say in Nanaimo’s welfare when it comes to the future of our children. Too much money is being spenton frivolous issues inNanaimo and being givento outsiders. We have tal-ent in Nanaimo, let’s use it.

But until the public takes a more responsible stand in Nanaimo, we will always be nothing but acomplaining city with noresults – as the past hasshown.

More attention has tobe given to voting. We just can’t just elect thelast person that was inbecause we do not havethe time to check outqualifications.

Take the time to seek out the best person for the job, whether it be schoolboard or municipal – both are the future of Nanaimoand voters should take the time to realize that.

Dave NobleNanaimo

No good reasonfor name change


logo cost, Sept. 18. According to school

district spokeswoman, Donna Reimer, officialsare working to focus theentire district on improv-ing student learning, andthe new graphic identity is one small way to signal to stakeholders and the public the importance of that vision.

This is a feeble, and

rather patronizing,attempt at justification.

We really don’t need anew graphic identity to make us realize that edu-cation is important, and itwill do nothing to improve student performance.

If anything, spending $25,000 on a logo whenit could be better spentelsewhere is detrimen-tal. That money could bedevoted to teaching aids,school trips, scholarships, etc., all of which have a direct bearing on learning and educational success.

Moreover, no sensible argument has been pre-sented for the namechange.

While Reimer may feel that the designationSchool District 68 reallydoesn’t mean anything, it fits in with the usageof other school districtsand embodies a measureof local history and tradi-tion.

Gregory RoscowNanaimo

Large portions are problematic

To the Editor, Re: Lineups attest to

people re-discoverin arti-san bread, Food Matters,Sept 15.

As a registered dietitian who has provided consul-tation to countless clients with gastro-intestinaldistress, I wanted to com-mend Stewart for her excellent perspective, asalways, on the growing prevalence of gluten intol-erance.

Although celiac disease and genuine gluten-intolerance exist for many,for others “intolerance”to wheat or grains canindeed be the result of an excess intake of overly processed grain foods that lack fibre and/or are too

high in sugar, served in portions that are too large.

The portions and qual-ity, or lack thereof, canbe as much the problem as the gluten itself. Meals with half the plate as vegetables or fruit, accom-panied with a serving of lean protein and a small to moderate serving of whole grains of the qual-ity Stewart speaks of,are ideal for most people– whether trying to loseweight, improve energy or manage diabetes.

Thank you for regu-larly printing the FoodMatters column. It always provides a great opinion and reminds us that we’re better off with wholesome food that is simple andclose to its natural state.

Patricia ChueyeLantzville

Public’s priorities ignore our hungry

To the Editor,It seems so ironic –

Apple brought out its latest version of an expen-sive communication device, and we volunteersat the food bank had the unfortunate task of tell-ing clients that the foodbank hasn’t got the funds to provide milk at least for the foreseeable future.

What is the message here?

Society can affordunlimited versions oftechnological wonders but can’t spare the funds formilk for poor people?

And the provincial gov-ernment that trumpets“families first” doesn’tdonate a dime, ever.

But it is very fast torefer needy clients to ourservices.

We should be ashamedof ourselves.

BY ROB DOUGLASThe United Nations

has declared 2012 theInternational Year of Co-operatives.

Across the globe more and more people are becoming aware of thisalternative model that could radically transformour local economies.

Co-ops extend democ-racy beyond the politicalrealm to the economy,shifting decision-making power from absentee cor-porations to members of the community.

They differ from otherbusiness models, as themembers of the co-op

own and democraticallycontrol the enterprise. Inall co-ops, one member has one vote.

Contrast this to big cor-porations, where a single investor may own enoughshares to control theentire organization.

Many co-ops are owned by their consumers, as is the case with our credit unions and gas co-ops.

Others are owned andoperated by the peoplewho work for them. The worker co-op is wide-spread in many partsof the world, and can be applied to any sector of the economy.

Co-ops are also estab-lished by farmers, arti-sans and business peopleto process and market their products.

Co-ops continue to be an impor-tant part of the economy, with successful credit unions and gas co-ops being good examples.

The question is this: why shouldn’t co-ops takeon a bigger role in the economy and expand to other sectors?

In many parts ofthe world, co-ops havealready pushed aside the multi-national corpora-

tion as the dominant model in some parts ofthe economy, and workersand communities have benefitted.

In Emilia-Romagna, Italy,one of Europe’swealthiest and

most stable regions, co-ops account for approxi-mately 40 per cent of the regional economy.

The Emilian co-ops work closely with smallbusinesses in the region, and play a key role in a range of sectors includ-ing retail, construction, agricultural production, housing, manufacturing,

and social services.Spain is in a severe

recession, yet the Mondragon Corporation, a network of 250 worker co-ops based in theBasque region, has defiedthe slump, avoiding any job losses at a time whenthe national unemploy-ment rate hovers at 25per cent.

Owned and controlled by its 43,000 worker-owners, the MondragonCorporation has long been an important player in Spain’s manufactur-ing, retail and financesectors, continuing toproduce as other compa-

nies curtail operationsand layoff workers.

With so many of us dis-illusioned with the power and influence big corpo-rations and wealthy eliteshave over our society, now is as good of a timeas any for co-ops to takeon a bigger role in our local economies.

In doing so, we can shiftthe balance of power down to the communitylevel, where it belongs.

◆Rob Douglas writes a

monthly column for the Cowichan News Leader Pictorial, a Black Pressnewspaper.

GUESTCOMMENT

Co-operation would lead to more co-operatives

One of the joys ofbeing a grandparent is getting to see the worldagain through the eyesof a child.

Recently, I found my three-year-old grand-son picking at a scab on his arm.It broughta flood of memoriesbecause I used to do the samething.

It wasamazing to watch the blood from an injurydry and, over days, form a scab. Before that scab was ready to fall off, I would pickat it to see what wasunderneath, and, won-der of wonders – it wasfresh, pink skin.

It’s amazing how ourbodies regenerate. We get hit and bruises

form as blood leaksinto tissues. Over time,the dark blue colour is diluted, and may movebefore disappearing.Even broken bones

will heal and returnto full strength. And skin, our largestorgan, is a miracle layer. It keeps therest of usinside and everything else outside. It wards off

infections, sheds water,cools us in hot weather, and repairs itself.

Still, viruses, bacte-ria, and parasites are ever-alert for oppor-tunities to penetrate our protective layer. As well as frequent nicks and cuts, we havenatural openings likemouths, ears, noses,anuses, and genitals,each with its own pro-tective mechanisms.

If an invading organ-ism gets inside, wehave an incredible barrier, our immunesystem, constantly generating new pro-teins to fight off infec-tions we’ve never even encountered. We havea defence system thatrecognizes and fights

against any cell witha genetic makeup dif-ferent from our own (which is why it’s so difficult to transplantorgans, tissues, or cells). Yet, pregnant women support a fetusthat is genetically dif-ferent for nine months.

Thanks to evolution,our bodies have power-ful ways to ward off ill-ness and infection andenable us to live long and healthy lives.

Why, then, do health costs continue to climb at unsustainable andfrightening rates? Partof it is that medicalcare has become so sophisticated that doc-tors are able to treat more problems.

Another part isthe ever-increasing cost of drugs. Andwith a medical sys-tem, people are morelikely to seek help. Still, health-care costs can’t continue to riseforever. Governments are always looking for ways to reduce costs, often by offloading agreater share of theburden onto patients.

We must pay greaterattention to keeping our bodies and minds healthy and able to heal. Yet we are mak-ing it difficult for ourdefences to work.

We allow things to

be sold that should not be called food. Manyhave no nutritive value and lead to obesity, salt imbalance and aller-gies. We spew chemi-cals into the environ-ment by the millionsof tonnes. Molecules pour into us throughair, water and food, overwhelming or weak-ening our protectiveimmune systems.

According to Harvard Universitydoctors Eric Chivian and Aaron Bernstein,“Our behaviour is the result of a basic failure to recognize that human beings are an inseparable partof nature and thatwe cannot damage it severely without severely damaging our-selves.”

The medical litera-ture tells us that themost effective waysto reduce the risk of heart disease, can-cer, stroke, diabetes,Alzheimer’s, and manymore problems arethough healthy diet and exercise.

Our bodies haveevolved to move, yet wenow use the energy inoil instead of muscles to do our work.

In 2007, the WorldHealth Organizationconcluded that envi-ronmental factors

contribute to 36,000 deaths and 13 per cent of the disease burden in Canada annually.

The Canadian Medical Association claims air pollutioncauses more than20,000 prematuredeaths a year. Author and environmentallawyer David R. Boyd,scientists estimate environmental factorsaffecting heart andrespiratory disease,cancer and birth prob-lems contribute to anywhere from 10,000 to 25,000 deaths, 78,000to 194,000 hospitaliza-tions, 600,000 to 1.5 mil-lion days in hospitals,and other problemstotalling $3.6 billion to $9.1 billion in direct and indirect costs eachyear.

It’s more effectiveand cheaper to let bod-ies fight off disease and infections than toweaken those defencemechanisms and then compensate for themmedically.

If we want a stable health system, we mustput more resources into reducing pollu-tion and environmen-tal degradation andcreating a way of lifethat keeps bodies and minds happy and ingood health.

Sustainability, energy ef ficiency, creativ-ity and beauty were natural home designer Cindy McCaugherty’s goals when she created her raincoast home on Gabriola Island.

Situated on a three-hectare lot with a .10-hectare fenced foodgarden, the raincoast home is one of three innovative residences featured in the Regional District of Nanaimo’sGreen Building Open House Tours Sunday (Sept. 23).

The event provides an opportunity for resi-dents to tour propertiesconstructed to haveminimal impact onthe environment, andto ask questions about the various ‘green’ ele-ments used for each project.

“Our aim with the [tours] is to allow resi-dents to learn first-hand how sustainabil-ity measures are being i n c o r p o r at e d i n t onew construction andrenovation projects inour region,” said RDN chairman Joe Stan-hope. “By showcasing these fine examples of green building, we are providing an opportu-nity for people to learnabout new, more envi-ronmentally-friendly ways to approach con-struction and renova-tion projects.”

This is the third year the RDN has organized tours to demonstrate the many ways thatgreen features can be incorporated into the construction process.The district is alsooffering a Green Build-ing Speaker Series in September and Octo-ber.

It also encourages residents to reducewater and energy useon their properties byoffering a number of rebates through the green building incen-tive program and thedrinking water and watershed protection program.

Once McCaugherty finalized the design forthe raincoast home, she and her husband, Bill, did most of the hands-on work to complete its construction. To achieve their goals, they used a combination oftraditional and alter-native construction methods and included

elements such as cob, light clay, straw, earthen floors and countertops, clay and lime plasters,locally milled timbers,and reclaimed materi-als.

The home also fea-tures composting toi-lets, triple-glazed fibre-glass windows, super-insulated walls, green(planted) roofs, and asystem for grey water reuse.

The home is partiallyheated by passive solarenergy thanks to southfacing windows andinterior mass from the floors and cob walls, and a rooftop solar hot water unit supplementsa tankless electric on-demand water heater. A sloped area south of the house will soon behome to a perennial for-est garden.

I n d o w n t o w n Nanaimo’s south end, the second home on thetour provides the oppor-tunity to view a home in mid-construction.The project features a roof and exterior walls constructed with struc-tural insulated panels.

These energy-effi-cient, cost-effective pan-els contribute to maxi-mum insulation valuesand seismic structural requirements, and aremade from insulated foam core sandwiched between two structural boards.

T h e h o m e w a s designed with the goalof achieving Built Green Platinum des-ignation and minimaloperating cost. It’s anopen concept with two storeys, a walk-out basement, and a gardennourished by harvested rainwater.

The final home on the tour is a craftsman bun-galow in Nanaimo, cus-tom-designed by Pheas-ant Hill Homes. This home was designed to allow its owners to age in place comfort-ably with minimal util-ity fees. The property incorporates increasedair tightness, a heat recovery ventilator and added insulation.The house achieved an EnerGuide Rating of 82and is on track to earn its Built Green Plati-num certification. Lowmaintenance features, accessibility and the desire for an uncom-plicated lifestyle influ-enced the finishing of

this energy-efficient home.

The Green Building Open House tours take place from 1-4 p.m. All of the tours are free, but space is limited and registration is required.

To register, please call 1 -888-828-2069.Addresses of the homes will be provided upon registration.

That means today’s teenagers may beforced to bear the brunt of the disease’s projected social andeconomic impact.Currently, there is nocure for Alzheimer’s disease, but there is hope.

Teens and young adults connectedwith the AlzheimerSociety of B.C. are joining together inSeptember during World Alzheimer’sMonth in an effortto show British Columbians thatAlzheimer’s disease isn’t just “an old per-son’s disease” – it’s a cause that impactseveryone.

“We need to raise awareness and helpfind a cure,” said Jessa Broeren ofVictoria.

The 13-year-old isone of many young people in B.C. whohave been personallyimpacted by demen-tia, and are now lead-ing the charge for acure.

“Everything you

can do, even if it’s just raising money,gets us that much closer to a cure,” she said.

British Columbians can join Broeren andother young people lending support tothe campaign thismonth by visiting the Alzheimer Society ofB.C.’s Facebook pageat www.facebook.com/AlzheimerBC to click, like and share to raise awareness.

Audiences can lis-ten to and share the campaign anthem, “IWill Remind You” by Canadian musiciansBrian Asselin and Eric Disero, aboutthe impact of demen-tia on younger gen-erations in a family.

Fans can read the stories of young peo-ple working with theAlzheimer Society ofB.C. toward a world without Alzheimer’s disease and demen-tia, and will have anopportunity to share their personal story.

The B.C. Facebookcampaign is being conducted as part of a global aware-ness initiative, WorldAlzheimer’s Month,when Alzheimer soci-eties and associations around the world willbe working to fight the stigma of demen-tia.

Vancouver Island University student Alyssa Deggan developed self-confi-

dence in her co-operative education work term as a kayak guide.

Students share co-op summer experiences

BY BRUCE PATTERSONFrom Walt Disney World in

Florida to kayaking the Salish Sea, Vancouver Island Univer-sity students had a busy sum-mer thanks to co-operative edu-cation.

Diane Awad spent the summerworking toward her hospitality management degree by keeping things magical for visitors to Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café at Disney World, and tourism man-agement student Alyssa Deggan took to the waters of the SalishSea where she used her newly acquired skills to guide pad-dlers for Pender Island KayakAdventures.

The two are among the fourth-year students in the recreation and sport management andtourism studies and hospitality management programs to share their workplace experiences at VIU’s faculty of managementCo-operative Education Sympo-sium on Friday (Sept. 21).

Awad put in a three-month

stint at one of the world’s larg-est quick-service restaurants, and while she didn’t earn a lotof money for her time behind the counter, it was a rewarding experience.

“It’s very helpful to be able toapply things we’ve learned toa job – all those little manage-ment things and business con-cepts,” she said.

Deggan, who grew up in Lady-smith and had limited kayaking experience, needed to preparequickly for her co-op job.

“I was on a study abroad program in Mexico in Marchwhen I was contacted about the opportunity,” she said. “I camehome in April, took a five-dayintensive kayak guide training course in May and started work in June.”

Over the past year, 186 VIU students participated in co-operative education work withparticipants hired locally, regionally, nationally and inter-nationally.

Tournament funds groceries for hungryTTThere is still time to sign up

for the third annual Thanks forGiving golf tournament, Sept.29 at Fairwinds Golf Club in Nanoose.

The charity event is one of two major fundraisers Nanoose Community Services holds eachyear and proceeds help provide a week’s groceries once a month for low-income individuals and fami-lies living in Nanoose Bay.

The tournament features two hole-in-one prizes – ParksvilleChrysler will have a car on

hole No. 10 and Brian Dugaro of Investors Group has donated $5,000 cash for hole No. 2 – liveand silent auctions and dinner.

The format of the tournament is a four-person scramble.

Tickets are $110, which includes 18 holes of golf, a cart and achicken and rib dinner.

Actor Antony Hol-land was one of thosesoldiers. It was yearslater when he finallyshared some experi-ences with a few closefriends.

It wasn’t until he came across ananthology of poems, Middle East Anthol-MMogy, edited by ErikMauny, one of themen he served with overseas, that he decided to share hisexperiences with a larger audience and created a one-man play.

The poems were written by men hefought with during the war. He said they laid bare the “terriblebusiness” of war.

“It affected me.All these memories came flooding back,” said Holland. “These poems expressed feel-ings we never, neverdiscussed.”

Holland shares hisexperiences serving in Egypt and Libyaduring the SecondWorld War in his one-man play, OneMan in His Time, atNanaimo’s Western Edge Theatre.

He gives audience members a rareglimpse into the first-hand experiences of a soldier and the friend-ships he forges, theadventures he under-takes and the loss offallen comrades.

“Every soldier has adifferent story to tell,” he said.

The audience willlearn Holland’s tale and how he formeda troupe to entertain soldiers and the jour-ney it took him on.Holland said he is able to transform himself to a younger version

of himself before the audience’s eyesby reliving thosemoments.

Frank Moher per-forms on stage andleads the audienceon a journey throughthe China to uncoverdark truths about technology manufac-turing, and in asides discusses the con-troversy of the play,

which involves theplaywright fabricat-ing some details.

It runs Oct. 26-27, at7:30 p.m. with a mati-nee Oct. 28 at 2 p.m.

ters such as gambling czar Abe Orpen andrace track regular Shnooky Schneider.

The journey to communityinclusion and awareness aboutracism could begin with a paint-er’s brush stroke.

People who have been mar-ginalized, dealt with racism or diversity issues are invited toparticipate in an art project cre-ated by the Central Vancouver Island Multicultural Society.

“Art can be a very power-ful tool for engagement,” saidSamantha Letourneau, diversitycoordinator for the multicul-tural society. “The art project provides the ability for the

community to explore issues, tovoice concerns and to expressthe culture of diversity thatexists in their community andcreate solutions together.”

The Journey to InclusionProject pairs nine visual artistswith nine community members to work collaboratively to cre-ate art for an exhibition held at the Port Theatre March 21, 2013,which marks the InternationalDay for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.

Letourneau said the exhibit will focus on how the commu-nity can move from racism anddiscrimination to an exclusivesociety. Three main themes are

explored: racism and discrimi-nation, a community transition-ing from racism to inclusion, and images of an inclusive society.

“We’re looking for the diver-sity that exists in our commu-nity,” she said.

The 18 participants will workcollaboratively from October to March. Visual artists of various mediums interestedin participating are asked tosend digital samples of their work, a written commitment toworking five hours per month until March with their commu-nity partner, evidence of theirability to work with diverse

people and a curriculum vitaehighlighting their professional experience as an artist.

The project also seeks commu-nity participants who are will-ing to share their experiences of how they have dealt with rac-ism, identity or diversity issues.

They aren’t required to have artistic experience but must be willing to make the same time commitment as artists.

To apply please go to www.cvims.org/diversity-program/embrace-bc/the-journey-to-inclusion-project or pick upapplication forms at the multi-cultural society, Nanaimo Wom-en’s Resource Society, Haven Society, Nanaimo Associationfor Community Living, Vancou-ver Island Vocational Rehabili-tation Services or the Tillicum Lelum Health Centre.

Talented poets and writers with deep roots on Vancouver Island will share their inspir-ing stories during theeighth annual Poetson Campus series atVancouver Island Uni-versity.

Author Maleea Acker opens the series Oct. 1 with readings from her first non-fiction book, Gardens Aflame: Garry Oak Meadowsof B.C.’s South Coast,and a manuscript ofpoems, The Almonds in the Earth, which willbe published in 2013.

“In designing thisyear’s Poets on Cam-pus series we thought it was time to hear from some of our poets with deep roots in ourIsland, who are estab-lishing reputations as non-fiction writers,novelists, teachers, edi-tors, journalists and travel writers,” said Marilyn Bowering, instructor in VIU’s cre-ative writing and jour-nalism department.

“We have assembleda group of vibrant, exciting and intelli-gent writers. Each hasfound his or her way to balance a vocation as writer with the need to make a living and in some cases raise a fam-ily. It takes not only tal-ent and courage to do this, but a certain kind of integrity. Maleea Acker, for example, is a model for – literally – what you can do inyour own backyard forthe environment.”

G a rd e n s A fl a m edescribes how Acker fell under the spell of the strange beauty woven by Garry oaktrees, and the ecosys-tems they tower overuntil she decided to transform her back-yard in Saanich into a small Garry oak meadow. She planted 21 trees, which caused consternation among some of her neigh-bours and city hall,bringing to a head “similar issues raised 150 years ago whenEuropeans first saw the open meadows of Southern Vancouver Island.”

“Since I was research-ing the topic of restora-tion, I thought I should give it a try on myown property,” Acker said. “I wanted to see what kind of reaction I would get from the neighbours, and the level of support fromthe municipality, and what obstacles I’d run into.”

Gardens Aflame isa mixture of science,esthetics and philoso-phy. It goes into thehistorical and culturalsignificance of Garryoak meadows, whatpeople are doing to restore them and chal-lenges they face.

“It was a great bookto research,” saidAcker. “I spoke to sci-entists on VancouverIsland and the GulfIslands, and along the Washington coast.”

Acker said writing her first non-fiction book “provided a wel-come break from theemotional intensity ofwriting poetry.”

Although she hopesto write more non-fic-tion, Acker is a poet atheart.

“I am similar per-haps to many poets,”she said. “Poetry chose me, I did not choose it.I am dragged kicking and screaming to the

page, but once there,I feel more alive than anywhere else onEarth.”

Acker, a member ofthe Society of Envi-ronmental Journalists,has worked in a vari-ety of cultural, politi-cal and environmen-tal areas, writing anddesigning for social and arts organizationsand teaching poetry atCamosun College.

Her first book of poetry, The Reflecting Pool, was published byPedlar Press in 2009.Her non-fiction andpoetry has appeared in various journals andmagazines in Canadaand Mexico.

Acker’s reading takes place in Building 365(the log cabin) at 5 p.m.Admission is free and everyone is welcome.

The Poets on Campus series continues with readings by celebrated authors Mathew Hoo-

ton on Oct. 29; JohnBarton and YvonneBlomer on Nov. 26; Ste-ven Price on Jan. 28; and writer Rhea Trege-bov on March 11.

“The purpose of thePoets on Campus series is to offer students, fac-ulty and staff and the community an oppor-tunity to be inspired byliving literary writersof our day,” said Bow-ering. Hearing poems and other writing readout loud “infuses themwith a whole differentkind of energy,” Bow-ering added.

“A good poem or story read out loud will siz-zle in the ear and trail goose bumps down thearm. Hearing a poemor story read by the author gives a senseof what’s really impor-tant in the piece.”

Her work will be on displayat Gallery 223 next week (Sept. 22-30).

Her collection titled the ‘Forest Series’ is reminiscent of stained glass in a church, evoking a sense of sanctuary and solitude. Her landscape and figure paintings, some of them award-winning, are equally well-explored and well-received.

“My paintings are largelyimpressions of nature asreflected in colourful landscapes and waterscapes. It is my hope that each image I produce will be

QQuickfactsVancouver Island authorBarry Gough’s book Juan deFuca’s Strait delves into the tstories of a host of explorerswho went in search of a water-way connecting the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.

Canadian scientists are currently scouring this samewaterway in search of shipsthat sunk while in search ofJuan de Fuca’s fabled North-west Passage.

From Gough, an internation-ally recognized author andhistorian, is another riveting history of exploration on the high seas.

The tale begins in sixteenth-century Venice, when explorer Juan de Fuca relayed to Eng-lish merchant Michael Lok a fantastic story of a marine passageway that connected the

Pacific and Atlantic oceans.This tale would be the catalystfor centuries of dreaming, andexacerbate the English and Spanish rivalry.

The search for the fabledNorthwest Passage inspired explorers to seek out fame,adventure, knowledge and riches. Gough delves into dip-lomatic records, narratives of explorers and court docu-ments to illuminate the jour-neys of characters like Martin Frobisher, Francis Drake, James Cook and George Van-couver.

A sea venture tied up with piracy, political loyalties and betrayals, all bound in a webof international intrigue,Juan de Fuca’s Strait isGough’s contribution to the history of discovery on the

Northwest coast.Gough won the John Lyman

Book Award for best Canadiannaval and maritime historyand was shortlisted for the Nereus Writers’ Trust Prize for Non-Fiction for his previ-ous book, Fortune’s a River.He is a Fellow of the RoyalHistorical Society and King’sCollege London, and has beenawarded a Doctor of Lettersfor distinguished publications to Imperial and Common-wealth Literature.

Gough discusses the book during a presentation at Har-bourfront library Oct. 3 at 6p.m.

Barsby players could be top ’Dawgs

The NDSS Islanders aremoving up in the world.

Nanaimo District Sec-ondary School’s varsity football team, champions of B.C.’s Tier 2 last year,move up this fall to AAvarsity.

The Isles didn’t have to go up a tier – it was aprogram decision, saidcoach Nate Stevenson. Tier 2 served its purposefor NDSS, he said, and it’s time for other schools to vie for that champion-ship.

“It did a lot, I feel, for the school and it also dida lot for the younger kidscoming into school here,”Stevenson said. “Guyswant to be a part of some-thing like that.”

And now the Isles are happy to be a part of the AA landscape. The oppo-nents will be bigger andbetter, but not unbeatable,Stevenson stressed.

“Those kids put their pants on, too,” he said. We don’t back down to any-body. Win or lose, we’ll play some football.”

Here’s a look at the 2012NDSS Islanders, who open the season Friday(Sept. 21) with a homegame against the Argyle Pipers.

OFFENCEDuring the off-season

Stevenson sat down withsome of his veterans and pondered X’s and O’s,trying to come up with a game plan that mightplay to ND’s strengths.

Islanders rewriting playbook

BY GREG SAKAKITHE NEWS BULLETIN

They may hail froma little high school inHarewood, but on thegridiron, these guys areno underdogs.

The John Barsby Bull-dogs AA varsity foot-ball team goes into the 2012 season among thefavourites to win the B.C. title. Barsby has playedin the last two SubwayBowl provincial cham-pionships, winning in2010 and coming up a few yards short in 2011.

“We all know where we want to go this season,and we all know how last season ended for a lot of us,” said Dexter Shea,who plays wingback and linebacker. “So it pushes us.”

The Bulldogs don’t want to talk champion-ship games at this time of year, though. Instead, they set their goals week by week.

“You want to win it, but you’ve got to get there toeven have that chance,” said Rob Stevenson, theteam’s coach.

So far this fall the ’Dawgs have looked like a contending team. They started the pre-seasonwith a 40-36 loss to thedefending AAA varsity champions, Mt. Doug,then shut out Abbotsford Collegiate 40-0.

“We’ve definitely estab-lished what our identityis this year, and that’s

going to be physical andrelentless,” Stevensonsaid.

Here’s a look at the 2012Barsby Bulldogs, whokick off the regular sea-son Friday (Sept. 21) inNorth Vancouver against Carson Graham.

OFFENCEThe Bulldogs have such

depth that many of theiroffensive players will beable to play only on that

side of the ball, a luxuryin AA. It means that the’Dawgs can go full-bore,every play.

“We just keep beating up on them, we never stop,” said Ryan Dekker,Barsby lineman. “Our offensive motto is ‘chain-saw’ – we keep moving constantly. [Teams] won’t be able to hang with us.”

Brody Taylor and Aus-tin Lyle are the quarter-backing tandem.

In Barsby’s double-wing offence, its primaryplaymakers are its wing-backs. A ton of differ-ent guys will contribute there, including BrandonParker, Duc Truong and Jacob Odynsky. Kyle Vol-let, Shea and Ricky Orr will also line up as wing-backs. Frankie Shaw, Nick Pedersen and Justin Cook play fullback andWill Cook and Montana Mize are the tight ends.

The offensive line fea-tures Brenden Bruce,Ryan Stratton, Dekker, Tristan Slotte and oth-ers.

DEFENCEThe Bulldogs’ swarm-

ing D is led by defensivecoordinator Larry Coo-per. He demands that his guys “rally” on everytackle, he said, getting 11 helmets to the football.

GREG SAKAKI/THE NEWS BULLETIN

T h e c i t y ’s B . C .Hockey League teamtakes on the Cowichan Valley Capitals on Fri-day (Sept. 21) at Dun-can’s Island Savings Centre.

“It’s always been a

more difficult rink to play in,” said MikeVandekamp, Clipperscoach. “It’s a small sheet and things hap-pen quickly in there.”

The tighter con-fines of the build-ing known as the Big Stick might lead to more bodychecking, but Vandekamp said he wants his team to play physical, regard-less of the opponent or arena.

“[We’ll] definitelytry to open up with alittle bit of physical-ity, get some space forsome of our guys,” said Chris Rygus, Clippers defenceman.

“And limit mistakes and limit turnovers as much as possible because you want tobe playing their end asopposed to your own end.”

Fans in Duncanalways bring their noisemakers to the game, and there’s a bell that sounds for everyCapitals bodycheck.

“I’ve heard a bit about it,” said JaysonArgue, Clippers goalie. “We don’t like losing toanybody, but especiallywhen it’s a team likeCowichan, apparently it’s a pretty heated rivalry so it’s a littleextra motivation.”

He won’t get rattled,as he’s no rookie whenit comes to rivalry games. Argue recalledroad trips last seasonin his Manitoba league, when his Swan Valley Stampeders travelledto play the Opask-wayak Cree NationBlizzard. About 20 Bliz-zard die-hards wouldstand behind his netand bang moose bonesagainst the boards.

“They get after you pretty good,” he said. “I get a kick out of it and it keeps me relaxed.”

GAME ON … TheClippers and Capitals face off at 7 p.m. … TheClips made a trade lastweek, sending forwardMason Blacklock tothe Surrey Eagles forfuture considerations.Vandekamp said themove was strictly because of roster num-bers. “Mason is a really, really good kid and areal hard-working guy and we really likedhim here,” said theClippers’ general man-ager. “I hope that he’llbe able to find a way to produce a bit more inhis new home.”

JIM KINNEAR/BLACK PRESS

Nanaimo District Islanders players Ben Lindstrom, left, Artie Wulf and Laine

Palmberg tackle a South Delta ball carrier in a road game last week.


Isles will make it excitingThey came up with an old-school

scheme called the triple option.“It’s high-risk, a lot of options, a

lot of pitches, you’ve got to do read-ing on the fly when guys are coming hot and you’re amped up a bit,” saidNate Stevenson.

Quarterback Eric Lindsay willlead the attack, distributing the ball to fullback Willy Curry and wing-backs Harb Thach and Dustin Wall. Receivers Artie Wulf, Brett Ablitt and Brennan Mattes are other play-makers on offence.

The offensive line includes PeterLe Patezour at centre, flanked by Laine Palmberg, MacIntyre Bar-rera, Ben Lindstrom and MichaelReid.

“We want to play ball-controloffence and we’re getting there,”said Stevenson. “I like our power attack, I like our ground attack andwe also have the ability to throw thefootball.”

DEFENCELindstrom and Le Patezour will be

two of the leaders of the D in thelinebacking corps, and Thach andWall are outside linebackers.

The D line consists of Curry, Palm-berg, Barrera and Reid.

Wulf, at safety, Ron Macdonald,Ablitt and Mattes comprise thegroup of defensive backs.

SPECIAL TEAMSMattes starts the season as place-

kicker, with Wall and Mattes return-ing kicks.

GAME ONND was originally slated to start

the season Friday (Sept. 21) againstthe Argyle Pipers in North Vancou-ver, but benefited from schedulingconflicts with officials and nowtheir opener will be a home game atNanaimo District Secondary SchoolField. Kickoff is at 2 p.m.

The Nanaimo Redmen, coming off a one-point loss, feel like they could be on the cusp of turn-ing things around.

The city’s Vancouver Mainland Football League midget team (0-3) lost 22-21 to the North Surrey Bears on Sunday on the mainland.

“It was by far the best game we’ve played so far this year, the most consistent…” said Sean Roden, coach of the Redmen. “There was morepositives to take out of this game than either ofthe first two.”

Running back Devon Carlie scored a 10-yardtouchdown and quarterback Dylan Tuckerscored a TD on a two-yard sneak and also threw a 35-yard TD to Payton Paladini. Matt Vandervelde was the player of the game on defence.

GAME ON … The Redmen midget team hosts theNorth Delta Longhorns (2-1) on Sunday (Sept. 23) in a 4 p.m. kickoff at Pioneer Park.

Raiders face stiffest test of season so far


The league’s most evenly matched teams finally geta chance to try to settle the score.

The V.I. Raiders (5-0-1)and the Langley Rams (5-0-1) face one another this Saturday (Sept. 22) in the Fraser Valley in a game todetermine first place in the B.C. Football Conference.

The teams have collidedonce so far in 2012, a game at Caledonia Park thatended in a 31-31 tie.

Ever since, the Raiders have been in an unfamiliarposition – second place in the standings, due to point differential. They’ve beendying for another chanceat top spot.

“The challenge is going to be huge for us, but we’reup for it,” said Matthew(Snoop) Blokker, Raiderscoach. “If you want to say you want to try to win thenational championship, it’s games like this that are going to give you thechance to do it.”

Both the Raiders and theRams have improved since their last meeting. Blokkernoted that the Raiders havebrought in new additions tothe defence and moved guys into different spots that are

perhaps a better fit.Jordan Yantz, V.I. quar-

terback, said his team has also improved its rushing offence and can now bringa more balanced attack toface the Rams.

“We’re both going to behigher-calibre teams thanwe were before, so I’mreally excited about it,” Yantz said. “It’s going to bea battle, it’s not just going to be a blowout.”

The Rams have numer-ous weapons on offence,most notably receivers Nick Downey and MalcolmWilliams and running backs Daniel Xavier and Kyle Albertini. Langley’sdefence is led by DB JordanLinnen and former RaidersD lineman Evan Foster.

“A n d t h e y ’ re we l l -coached,” said Blokker. “So if they see you cheat-ing, they’ll come back atyou right away in a differ-ent way.”

It will take a focused,four-quarter effort to win, said the V.I. coach.

“Our attention to detail is going to be pressed becauseof the type of game we’re going to be in,” said Blokker. “And also first place is on the line now andwhen that happens you’ve got to be wanting and will-ing to play every play.”

GAME ON … The Raidersand Rams kick off at 4 p.m. at McLeod Stadium. Therewill be a live webcast at www.viraiders.ca.

ICJFL TEAM willvisit Langley this Saturday.

JORDAN YANTZ

Yantz sets recordJordan Yantz reached yet

another mark that solidifieshis status as an all-timegreat.

The Raiders’ quarterbackthrew for 268 yards in Saturday’s 44-28 win over the Okanagan Sun, lifting his career passing yards totalto 9,405. That surpasses the former Canadian Junior Football League record of 9,370 set by John Makieof the Regina Thunder andVictoria Rebels between2001-04.

“I never knew that I wasin reach,” said Yantz. “If I try not to worry about thosethings as much, it seemslike they keep on falling into place for me.”

BY JIM ROBINSON

Chevrolet is back in the sev-en-seat people mover busi-ness with the 2012 Orlando.

While considered a cross-over-utility vehicle, it’s really astation wagon, in my opinion.

Unlike its competitors, the Orlando has a theatre-style seating arrangement with three rows of seats, along witha sizable cargo area and flex-ible storage solutions.

In spite of the sweeping roof-line, the engineers and design-ers were able to raise the thirdrow of seats offering passen-gers an improved view bothforwards and to the side.

With a wide variety of seat-ing configurations, Chevrolet claims the Orlando can be adjusted into one of the mostvoluminous vehicles in itsclass when it comes to cargo

capacity at 1,594 litres.Power is a 2.4-litre, direct

fuel injection four-cylinder engine producing 174 horse-power.

There will be three trim levels: LS, LT and LTZ. A six-speed manual is standard onthe LS and LT with a six-speed automatic optional on the LS and standard on the LTZ.

Fuel consumption is rated at 10.1 litres per 100 kilometres in the city and 6.7L/100km on thehighway for the manual.

Standard equipment on all models includes power win-dows, locks, remote keyless entry, electronic stability con-trol system and six airbags.

The interior features a twincockpit look inspired by the Corvette and a centre consolewith ambient blue lighting.

One of the more interesting

aspects is a storage cubbiehidden behind the front fasciaof the radio and within easyreach of the both the driverand passenger. It is large enough for items such as an MP3 player, sunglasses and

wallets. On some models, therewill be a USB port for using or re-charging an MP3 player or iPod when on the move.

Fitting seven is possible, but just. The brochure shows threekids in soccer uniforms in the

second row seat but when it comes to adults, two is more like it. As for the third row, it is also meant for primarily small fry and I suspect in most cases it will be folded flat.

Chevrolet Orlandogets people moving

PHOTO SUBMITTED

The 2012 Orlando is Chevrolet’s answer to the growing small, seven-seat people mover market that is so

popular in Asia and Europe and is gaining ground in North America.

Nanaimo, 250-758-6585D#23669

The Nissan Terra SUV con-cept combines two Nissan strengths – SUVs and elec-tric vehicles – in a vehicle that is equally in its element off-road or gliding silently through the city.

With an innovative 4x4fuel cell electric powertrain and an athletic exterior, Terra takes sustainablemotoring into new terri-tory.

The Ter ra wil l beunveiled next week at the Paris Motor Show.

Building on Nissan’s suc-cess with crossovers like the Juke and Qashqai, and its electric vehicle successwith the Leaf, the Terra shows that Nissan’s zero-emission expertise encom-passes fuel cells too.

It is designed as a func-tional and flexible choice, bringing with it eco-friend-liness along with a secure driving feel under any road conditions.

The interior features doorpanels, which are a sculpted fusion of blond wood trimand coloured acrylic.

Although Terra is pre-sented as a design concept,

not a technical exhibit, itsproposed 4x4 fuel cell elec-tric powertrain is far from imaginary.

Powering the front wheels is the electric propulsion system currently featured in the Nissan Leaf. In each back wheel, providing all-wheel power as needed, isan in-wheel electric motor.

As no drive shafts arerequired to power the rear wheels, there is no hump in the floor or on the under-body.

This allows for the flattrunk floor and the under-side bodypan.

Under the hood is amplespace for Nissan’s hydrogenfuel cell stack: a flat, highly

compact unit that featuresa power density of 2.5 kilo-watts per litre.

The latest in a series of Nissan fuel cells since 1996,the stack costs just one-sixth of its 2005 predecessoras the need for expensiveprecious metals has beenslashed to one-quarter of the previous level.

PHOTO SUBMITTED

The Nissan Terra SUV concept features a proposed 4X4 fuel cell electric powertrain and an electricpropulsion system, which powers the front wheels, similar to the Leaf.

ICONCEPT SPORTutility vehicledrives onto scene.

Nissan unveils Terra at motor showThe electrically

driven SmartForstars is a coupe with room for twopeople and plenty ofstorage space.

Its name is atongue-in-cheekreference to theglass roof abovethe passengers thatgives a clear view of the starry sky.

The SmartForstars will be premiered at the Paris Motor Shownext week and usesthe 60 kilowattmagneto-electric motor from thenew Smart Brabus electric drive version of the Smart.

Not only is it emission-free and fast, it is also possible to set theinterior temperaturein advance with aSmartphone, and itis simple to charge at a domestic socket.

What’s more, with its powerful battery and integratedprojector the Smart Forstars can transform any grey

backyard into an animated open-aircinema.

With ample spacefor two peopleand a cargo area under the glass tailgate, it is also a communicationconcept that only requires ablank wall for a spontaneous cinematic experience.

The media playerof the projector integrated in the front hoodis operated via bluetooth froman iPhone. Ahigh-qualitysound system with additional loudspeakers in theventilation openings behind the doors enables the drive-in cinema experience to be perfected forfriends as well.

The SmartForstars shares themain features of its body with the Smartfor-us, which caused a stir at the DetroitMotor Show at thestart of the year.

Smart’s newest coupe good for stargazing

With the second row fold-forward seats, accessto the rear is easier thanyou would think. The rear cargo area is reached through a large liftgate.

When I drove a pre-production version briefly last September I remem-

ber the ride being verychoppy and told the GMfolks so.

For this test, the LTSI was issued was firstlyvery quiet on the road, noticeably quieter than a competitor’s crossoverthat I own. Ride was what you want in this kind

of vehicle, being moreskewed toward cruising than sporting but with the feeling coming throughthe steering wheel of a taut suspension.

The Orlando with its six-speed automatic transmis-sion was quicker off theline and reached highway

speeds quicker than myfour-speed automatic withboth having about the same power, displacement and weight.

The standard analog pri-mary gauge cluster is easy to read with large numer-als within a handy centre digital driver information

display. I have come to depend on these driver info systems and would now not order a vehicle without one.

While GM is officiallyout of the minivan mar-ket, CUVs like the Chev-rolet Traverse or Equinox just don’t reach all Cana-

dians and the reason whycertain seven-passengercrossovers are so popular in this country.

With the 2012 Orlando, Chevrolet has covered that base with a roomy, fuel-efficient vehicle thatreally does fit the peoplemover bill.

Crossover’s seven-passenger carrying capacity comes in handy◆ From /B9

Our hearts still ache with sadness and secret tears still fl ow.What it meant to lose you no one will ever know.

Our thoughts are always with you, your place no one can fi ll.In life we loved you dearly; in death we love you still.

We love and miss you,Mum, Dad, Lisa, Candice, Kris,Nickolas, Matthew and Owen
