City council chose not to roll the dice with human life Mon-day night and voted to com-mence removal of the middle and lower Colliery dams imme-diately.
But the same mot ion, approved 5-4, also requires steps to be taken for the rebuild-ing of both dams, including the roughing in of hydroelectric capacity in the lower dam.
The decision came after final pleas from Nanaimo residents to keep the dams and the lakes, which they say are a vital social and environmental asset for the Harewood community, and that the risk to human life down-stream should the dams fail is in such a small percentile that the risk is acceptable.
Lorne Gale, an advocate to keep the dams intact, said structural integrity of the cur-rent dams suggests that in the event of an extreme seismic event, the dams might be one of the only structures remaining in Nanaimo.
“Most of the buildings in Nanaimo would collapse if we experienced a devastating earthquake, but those dams will still be there,” said Gale. “In fact, the lakes could be used as part of our emergency preparedness. They would be an asset.”
An estimated 1,800 people
live below the dams in the Chase River floodplain, which prompted the provincial Dam Safety Branch to list the danger rating as extreme in the event of failure.
The safety branch strongly advised city council to mitigate the risk as soon as possible.
“The Dam Safety Branch is serious,” said Coun. Diane Bren-nan. “We can’t stand aside and say it probably won’t happen, because when you say it prob-ably won’t, there is the possibil-ity that it will.”
The dams were constructed 100 years ago to direct water for the purpose of washing coal. The lakes and park are now a well-used recreation area for hiking, swimming and fishing.
Roblyn Hunter said those opportunities will now be lost for people who use the park, and what will be left behind is also a serious safety issue.
“It’s a terrible decision,” said Hunter. “Once the dams are gone there is a very good chance that we won’t get them back. City staff have been ada-mant they want them gone and there is no timeline to replace them ... and leaving the dams without water is terrible for the environment and if we really wanted to mitigate risk we don’t drain the lakes and leave this huge opportunity for someone to get injured.”

NDP incumbent Leonard Krog thanks campaign manager Joyce Scotton and supporters Tuesday evening after learning that Nanaimo constituency voters decided to return him to Victoria. His victory was bitter-sweet, however, given that he had hoped his party would form government.

The mood was a touch som-bre in NDP incumbent Leon-ard Krog’s campaign head-quarters Tuesday evening, even though he won his seat in the 40th B.C. general elec-tion.
As the night wore on, and it became increasingly clear that the NDP was not going to form government as opinion polls had earlier suggested, the celebration of Krog’s suc-cessful bid to return to the Legislature could best be
described as restrained.The Liberals’ advances
were greeted with grumblings from the dozens of support-ers packed into the Old City Quarter office, while the NDP successes – especially Van-couver-Point Grey NDP candi-date David Eby’s victory in the polls over B.C. Liberal Party leader Christy Clark – were applauded.
“It’s a sad day for B.C. that people listened to Christy Clark,” said Fred Carroll, a retired steelworker who dates his support for the NDP back to the 1970s. “We’ll get lots of
pipelines and all kinds of other goodies. I was just hoping for fairness for people, especially for working people.”
Krog won his seat by a healthy margin of more than 1,700 votes, with 9,548 votes compared with 7,812 for Lib-eral candidate Walter Ander-son, the second place con-tender.
Green Party candidate Ian Gartshore came in third with 2,198 votes, Conservative can-didate Bryce Crigger had 1,087 votes and independent Brunie Brunie received 225 votes.

A group is promising civil disobedience if the city proceeds with its plan to remove the lower and mid-dle dams at Colliery Dam Park.
Dave Cutts, local coor-dinator of Veterans of Clayoquot, told the News Bulletin Tuesday he plans to organize a group and occupy the park to protect the dams from being demol-ished.
On Monday, council voted 5-4 to remove the dams and eliminate the risk to hun-dreds of people in the Chase River floodplain should the dams fail. The meeting was attended by dozens of com-munity members intent on saving the dams and the lakes in the park.
The dams are scheduled to be removed in July.
Cutts said a meeting of concerned residents who wish to join the movement is scheduled for Sunday (May 19) at 11 a.m. on the lower dam to plan upcom-ing actions.
“Unfortunately, thanks to council’s foolishness [Monday] we’re going to Plan B which is not what we wanted to do but we’re going to do it,” said Cutts. “We’re not going to stand by and watch those dams get ripped out and left as mud holes. We’re going to
go all the way to protect them.”
Over the past 20 years, Veterans of Clayoquot has been successful in defend-ing the War of the Woods at Clayoquot and Cathedral Grove, worked to relocate the Nanaimo Parkway away from the lower dam at Col-
liery Dam Park, and saved Mount Benson from being clear-cut.
“All four campaigns suc-ceeded,” said Cutts. “We have every expectation that with the help of concerned citizens, we will succeed again.”

Pet tarantula survives blaze
Firefighters responded to a structure fire on the weekend that could have had serious consequences for a pet tarantula.
The fire broke out shortly after 5 a.m. saturday in a rental suite on the 500 block of harewood Road.
ennis Mond, Nanaimo Fire Rescue fire prevention officer, said a heating pad under the spider’s plastic terrarium ignited bark mulch on the floor of the terrarium.
“The heating pad started a little fire,” Mond said. “There was minor damage. it melted the tarantula’s house and there was a little bit of scorching on the laminate flooring.”
Mond said the fire was mostly out by the time firefighters arrived and neither the tarantula or its owner reportedly suffered any injuries.
City swaps land with Longwood
The City of Nanaimo has signed a purchase agreement with longwood station ltd. to acquire property located at 295/299 selby st. in the Old City Quarter.
The two vacant lots are both 1,565 square metres in size and valued at $500,000.
The city acquired the lands in exchange for agreeing to extend linley Valley Drive 275 metres east from Turner Road to service lands owned by longwood’s parent company, insight holdings.
The transfer takes place in the fall of 2014 and will improve parking in the OCQ while allowing insight to develop in linley Valley.
city sceneInbrief
u From /1Council was not
clear on how it would prevent the public from accessing the area from where the two lakes will be drained.
A report issued last week estimates that the total cost to remove both dams and rebuild them will be $11.2 million. Removing both dams and replacing only the lower dam would cost about $9.5 mil-lion.
“It makes sense for the few extra dol-lars to replace both dams,” said Bren-nan, adding that the approved motion immediately miti -gates risk while initi-ating the planning to rebuild them.
A motion put for-ward by Coun. Fred Pattje to put on hold the demolition of both dams until spring 2014, proceed with removal and construction of the middle dam in 2014, and removal and con-struction of the lower dam in 2015, failed by a vote of 5-4.
The city plans to issue contract ten-ders for the decon-struction of the dams immediately, with work expected to begin sometime in July when water lev-els are at their lowest.
The process to design new dams is expected to take seven months with construction begin-ning next [email protected]

Group calls for civil disobedience

Parents band together to oppose school planBy Jenn mcGarriGle
The News BulleTiN
A group of parents concerned about pro-posed school closures in Nanaimo school district are banding together to oppose the move.
Several parents of South Wellington Elementary School students have formed the group Stand Up for Public Education Rights (SUPER) with the goal of not only keeping their children’s school open, but also to raise awareness about what they say are the shortcom-ings of the district’s draft 10-year facilities plan – the most immediate actions of which include clos-ing South Wellington and North Oyster elementary schools in June.
The group, whose town hall meeting last week brought out about 50 con-cerned community mem-bers, is walking from Lady-smith to Nanaimo on May 25 to protest the plan.
“Our group’s goal is to raise community aware-ness through Nanaimo-Ladysmith about the chal-lenges in education and to fight for our children’s right to a minimum stan-dard of education,” said Tiffany Nelson, SUPER spokeswoman. “The dis-trict needs to recognize that the solution to better educational, cultural and developmental outcomes does not lie in different buildings.”
The plan proposes to close a net total of 10 school facilities, rebuild four facilities, pursue the
addition of enrichment programs to a number of schools, relocate the learn-ing alternatives programs, adjust the French immer-sion program and relocate administrative functions.
Nelson said concerns she’s heard about the plan include: the potential for young students to move up to four times throughout the process as schools are consolidated, breaking up peer groups, the academic disruption of moving; the uncertainty students and staff at North Oyster and South Wellington will face given the closure decision will be made at the end of June; reduced chances to participate in extracurricu-lar activities; and no men-tion of any improvement in classroom staffing ratios.
She said while the plan
mentions adding enrich-ment programs, this is not costed out or given any sort of timeline like the facilities changes are and the plan doesn’t speak to making extra resources available in classes.
The walk begins at 10 a.m. at 341 First Ave. in Ladysmith and ends at Southgate Mall. Nelson said she’s not sure how long it will take to com-plete the 22-kilometre trek, but organizers are work-ing on creating a map with safe stopping spots so that people can join them for part of the walk. The group is inviting teachers, sup-port workers and parents across the district.

u From /1This is Krog’s third
provincial election victory in a row, but he called the victory “bittersweet” as he watched the Liberals form a majority gov-ernment.
“To see the num-bers, the way they have rolled in tonight, it’s very disappointing is the kindest thing I can say,” he said.
“It’s too early to judge whether it was a mistake in strat-egy, but I think very clearly the heavy negative campaign-ing of the Liberals, particularly the personal attacks on Adrian Dix, in the modern political con-text, where leader-ship is so important, were clearly pretty successful.”
Some members will
be asking if the NDP should have run a similar negative cam-paign, but perhaps no mistakes were made and the NDP simply wasn’t the party of choice for British Columbians, he added.
Krog said his focus going forward is on being an effective member of the oppo-sition.
Anderson said he’s excited that the Lib-erals will be forming another majority.
“I think people wanted a stable government,” he said. “They wanted a strong economy and they wanted to make sure that we contin-ued moving forward toward economic recovery.”
He was pleased with his party’s showing in the rid-ing.
“We put up a very good fight; we came very, very close,” he said.
Gartshore said he was “blown away” by the support the Green Party received in Nanaimo, but wasn’t thrilled with the provincewide results of the elec-tion.
“It’s more of the
same,” Gartshore said. “We don’t really have the change that people are yearning for and I wonder, are people scared of change?”
Crigger ended elec-tion night somewhat disillusioned by the process, as he didn’t feel that the voting results matched with the performance of the candidates in the race.
“I can see that peo-ple don’t vote for the individual running in the constituency; it’s all about the party vote,” he said.
Still, he felt his party was successful in appealing to new voters to become engaged in the pro-cess.
“If more people decided to get involved in this elec-tion, then I’m happy with that,” he said.

Details of what a proposed downtown hotel will look like, how it will serve Nanaimo, and the investors behind it became clearer Mon-day.
Perry Ehrlich, a Van-couver lawyer repre-senting SSS Manhao International Tourism Group, a B.C. affiliate of China’s Suzhou Youth Travel Ser-vices, and its investor team, Junhao Chen, Xiaoan Dong and Min Chen, addressed city council with details of its proposed 200-room, $50-million hotel.
Ehrlich said his cli-ent is willing to pay market value for the land at 100 Gor-don Street, a price of $565,000, lease 200 parking spaces from the convention centre parkade at $3.17 per spot per day, create about 500 jobs during the duration of construc-tion, employ local workers once the hotel is opened, and work with Vancouver Island University to attract international students.
“Building a hotel and sending people here works hand-in-hand with my cli-ent’s mission,” said Ehrlich, who has negotiated land deals for Costco in many markets over the last few years. “The dream is to construct a world-class hotel that will encourage tourism, inspire the economy, create job opportunities, and enhance the profile of the City of Nanaimo.”
The investors will, however, take advan-
tage of the 10-year tax exemption coun-cil passed to lure investors to build on the site, provid-ing savings of about $250,000 annually.
Dan Brady, chair-man of the Nanaimo Hospitality Associa-tion, said because the proposal doesn’t ask for any subsidies, most, but not all, members of the asso-ciation are onside with the project.
“I can’t believe in my wildest dreams that anyone would be crazy enough to come to town, build a 200-room hotel based on the cur-rent occupancy rates and scoop up the marketplace,” said Brady. “There is no marketplace, we’ve been flatlining for 15 years. The only rea-son these guys are moving forward ... is they’re going to bring the audience.”
S u z h o u Yo u t h Travel Services is ranked 13th on Chi-na’s list of top 100 travel agencies and had gross revenue of $175 million in 2012. It claims it typically puts 40,000 custom-ers a day on to air-planes to travel the world, and that as part of its itineraries an estimated 70,000 tourists would be brought through Nanaimo annually, generating about $35 million in revenue for Nanaimo’s economy.
“We’ve been work-ing with their logis-tics team to inform them how to best get people to Nanaimo, and they’l l have another team here in June to look around and see what there is for their clients to do here,” said Sasha
Angus, chief execu-tive officer of the Nanaimo Economic Development Corpo-ration, who has been working with the investor group for the last four months. “Nanaimo would be just one stop on a tour that includes the U.S. and other parts of Canada, and the Lower Mainland.
“They want to understand what the
full scope of things to do in the community is and put together programming they think would be most attractive to their Chinese clientele.”
Ehrlich said his clients have depos-ited $9 million in U.S. funds into an account to show they are seri-ous about getting started on the proj-ect, and that there is also an interest
to promote the con-ference centre and possibly take over management of the facility from Atlific in the future.
The hotel itself is expected to be 17 storeys with the first floor featuring a grand lobby and commercial spaces. The second floor will feature hotel ameni-ties, the third floor will give access to
the conference cen-tre and Piper Park through skywalks, the fourth floor will house a pool, gym and spa, and the 17th floor will be a restau-rant.
Mayor John Ruttan said at first blush, the proposal is an attrac-tive one the city wishes to pursue.
“It’s an unusual and very unique busi-ness model,” he said.
“The key for me is the people coming here are absolutely new to Nanaimo. Without being brought here they probably would never have consid-ered coming here, most of them, and the spinoff will be going to other down-town hotels. All in all it’s as good an offer as we could hope to attract.”[email protected]

T h e D o w n t o w n Nanaimo Business Improvement Asso-ciation invites the public to take part in planning the future of the downtown.
The DNBIA hosts a strategic planning session today (May 16) from 6:30-8:30
p.m. at the Vancou-ver Island Conference Centre.
So far, the DNBIA has collected opin-ions and attitudes of the public about downtown Nanaimo through an online survey.
It focused another
survey on its mem-bers, the merchants and property owners located downtown. In addition, one-on-one interviews were conducted with two dozen stakeholders, community partners and major property owners and long-time
members. All information gath-
ered through these surveys and inter-views will be shared at the Thursday work-ing group session.
The evening, open to DNBIA members, community partners and the public, helps chart a map to change the future course of downtown Nanaimo.

The Nanaimo News BulletinOn the Web
By JOHN HARDINGBlack Press
MLA-elect Michelle Stilwell said she knows what the people of the Parks-ville-Qualicum riding were telling her when they overwhelmingly chose her Tuesday night to be their rep-resentative in Victo-ria.
Stilwell, an inter-national Paralym-pic track star, won the constituency with 13,405 votes, more than 3,500 votes ahead of her closest competitor, former Qualicum Beach town council-lor Barry Avis of the NDP. B.C. Conserva-tive candidate David Coupland was third with 3,451 votes.
After her victory speech in front of 100 happy Liberals at her Parksville campaign headquarters, Stil-well was asked what message she thought voters gave her when they sent her to Vic-toria with such a decisive victory.
“I believe it’s a clear
message that the economy is what’s important,” she said between hugs with suppor ters . “We
need a solid econ-omy in order to pro-vide the services and programs that we all depend on – that’s
how the revenue is generated.”
Stilwell was asked if she could compare the campaign to the
rigours of elite athlet-ics.
“You put a plan into place and you try to execute the plan the
best you can, like in any Olympic race, and that’s exactly what I did in this campaign,” she said.
Provincially, the B.C. Liberals won a majority govern-ment, a shock to many who read recent polls which had the NDP up by as many as nine per-centage points.
Stilwell’s first prior-ity as MLA is to get to know all those who were elected and start working with open communication and a clear vision for this province.
After the results became clear Tues-day night, Avis said he was at a loss to explain what had just transpired.
“I don’t know what happened,” he said. “We spoke to the key issues. We ran in my mind – not just here in this constituency, but provincewide – a very positive cam-paign and tried to speak to the issues.”
Coupland certainly didn’t endorse the decision of voters.
“The people of B.C. aren’t ready for bet-ter government yet,” said Coupland, who has been mentioned in discussions related to the leadership of his party. “People are just going from bad government to bad government.”
Former Parksville-Qualicum B.C. Liberal MLA Ron Cantelon, who retired from pro-vincial politics this year after serving two terms as the rid-ing’s representative, said he was pleased with the big victories by both Stilwell and his party.
“I couldn’t be hap-pier,” said Cantelon. “Michelle speaks from the heart and she will represent from the heart.”
Cantelon was also asked what mes-sage he believed the people of Parksville-Qualicum conveyed Tuesday night.
“They said we have a rising star and they do have a rising star in Michelle Stilwell,” said Cantelon.

Nanaimo-North Cowichan NDP incumbent Doug Routley addresses supporters after win-ning his riding in Tuesday’s election.
By LINDsAy CHuNGBlack Press
Doug Routley will serve a third term as MLA in Nanaimo-North Cowichan.
The NDP incumbent, who had served as this area’s MLA for eight years, was declared the winner in Tuesday night’s provincial election shortly before 10 p.m.
“This is our province,” he told cheering supporters, many clad in orange. “That hasn’t changed. That’s the same as it was this morning, and it’s the same as it will be tomorrow. These are our com-munities, and we will be there for people, and I can’t wait to get down to that work.”
Routley held the lead throughout the night. As of 11 p.m. Tuesday night, with all 136 ballot boxes reported, preliminary results from Elec-
tions B.C. showed Routley winning with 10,188 votes, followed by Amanda Jacob-son with 6,891. Trailing in third place was Green Party candidate Mayo McDonough with 2,945 votes, followed by B.C. Conservative candidate John Sherry (1,442 votes) and independent candidates Mur-ray McNabb (584 votes) and P. Anna Paddon (62 votes).
Routley was clearly happy to win in this riding, but he expressed disappointment that, provincially, the Liberals won a majority.
“For me, it’s mostly disap-pointing because this was an experiment in running a cam-paign differently and being positive, and apparently that hasn’t worked,” he said. “I feel people have been scared away from a future that could have been very different.
“In any case, what we need
to remember right now are the people who need us, who need us to be strong in the roles we play in the Legisla-ture, who need us to be strong in the roles we play in the community, as we continue to defend people from an agenda that we don’t agree with.”
Routley spoke about need-ing to remember seniors in care and forestry workers who are seeing their jobs shift away in the form of raw logs leaving this province, and about needing to defend our coast.
“We’re going to have to stand with First Nations, we’re going to have to stand with commu-nities along the threatened route of that pipeline, we’re going to have to stand with people on the coast to protect this province,” he said. “We’ve been doing that, and we will continue to do that.”
Jacobson was both incred-ibly happy with tonight’s local results and proud of her fellow Liberal candidates who ran “amazing campaigns.”
This was Jacobson’s first campaign experience and one she chose to describe as “amazing.”
“It was a learning experi-ence for sure,” she said, “and I don’t think there’s any losing in any way, shape or form for me in this. It’s been amazing – just unreal.”
Jacobson wasn’t surprised by tonight’s Liberal victory.
“I wouldn’t say ‘unex-pected,’” she said. “We’ve been hearing this on the ground for a while. There’s a lot of support for the Lib-erals out there. I think that this result shows where people were lying all the way around.”

The pollsters, pundits and the self-styled rebels of the B.C. Liberal Party were struggling for answers as their conventional wisdom went out the window on election night.
In came the B.C. Liberals and Christy Clark for a fourth term, with a 50-seat majority that is stronger than the one they took into the 2013 election.
“Welcome to the club,” Alberta Premier Alison Redford wrote on Twitter on election night, referring to Red-ford’s own win in the face of a wall of polls and pontificators say-ing she was done.
Here’s the next thing to ignore from the media experts who rub shoulders with those pollsters and political strategists. It’s all about the nega-tive ads, they will say, and NDP leader Adrian Dix’s big mistake was to run a “positive” campaign.
Rubbish. Was their long fight against the harmonized sales tax a positive campaign? Is piling on sham environmental reviews for the express purpose of kill-ing industrial projects a positive idea?
“Clearly our message didn’t get out the way we wanted it to get out,” Dix said after watching one of the biggest comebacks in Canadian political history.
That’s rubbish too. He got his message out just fine, serving it up in bite-sized pieces in a
classic frontrunner’s campaign that cynically put off the most difficult choices. He was going to expand government, and restrict industrial development to appease urban voters.
Dix’s most dramatic policy shift contributed to his undo-ing. Mid-campaign, in a decision that surprised even his platform co-chairs, Dix turned against the
proposal to twin the TransMountain oil pipeline that winds across B.C. from Alberta to Burnaby. Well, not the pipeline itself, but the prospect of more oil tankers in and out of Vancouver harbour.
At least now, more people will understand that Vancouver has been an oil port for
nearly a century, and that Cana-da’s future includes energy devel-opment. More people should also appreciate that environmental assessment is not a political game.
Andrew Weaver made history as B.C.’s first Green Party MLA. He came out swinging against Clark’s economic holy grail, development of liquefied natural gas exports from the north coast.
Weaver calls LNG a “pipe dream” that will never material-ize. It will be interesting to watch him as he is proved wrong on that, and then as he grapples with gas as a transition fuel that can be used to develop clean
energy infrastructure.B.C. Conservative leader John
Cummins ran a distant third in his Langley constituency, and his goal of a breakthrough didn’t materialize anywhere. His idea of scrapping the carbon tax on fossil fuels didn’t impress many people, despite his focus on rural and northern B.C.
Clark should heed the NDP on at least one thing. Dix promised to move B.C. election dates to the fall, starting in 2017. The idea of giving his anticipated government an extra six months to govern the province was non-controversial when Dix proposed it in his party’s election platform, so Clark will probably proceed with it.
Another NDP idea Clark should adopt is getting the corporate and union money out of elec-tion campaigns. She likely won’t, because her party’s financial advantage is too great, but the time has come for this important reform.
The B.C. Liberals’ much-dis-cussed “balanced” budget will now be put to the test over the next few months. The legislature must be convened by September to debate that budget.
This should be the last vote based on an untested budget, and the first of many scheduled fall legislature sessions.

Pollsters are going to have to come up with a different formula for how to gauge public voting methodology prior to elections, because their last two attempts have been so far off they’re on the verge of rendering themselves incompetent.
All major pollsters had written the B.C. Liberals off prior to Tuesday’s provincial election – not one of the polling companies got it right. The surprising Liberal win could have been considered a fluke, except that pollsters blew it in Alberta’s election in 2012, predicting incorrectly the Wildrose Alliance would win over the Conservatives. The Conservatives cruised to victory.
These misfires lead to the inevitable question: Should pollsters play a role in elections? The truth is they do.
While some voters are consistently faithful to a certain political party, a significant amount decide who they will vote for in the final days or hours before casting a ballot. Polls play a part in the decision-making process, and therefore election outcomes. They shouldn’t.
One has to wonder how much of a role the inaccurate polling and resulting media attention played in Tuesday’s election results. Pollsters blamed low voter turnout – only 52 per cent of eligible voters voted – and fickle young voters for their poor projections, but aren’t these the very people who would be most influenced by polls?
The bottom line is polling has become more of an obstacle in the election process than an asset. Elections belong to the people, not the pollsters.
Does it really matter which party has the momentum three months, three weeks or three days before an election? Not really. As any veteran politician will tell you, one day in politics can feel like a year.
Next time, let’s leave it to the pollsters to predict trivial things like Canadian Idol winners or hockey champions, and leave the important stuff, like elections, to the real experts: the public.

To the Editor,Re: Colliery dams
demolished as soon as possible, News Bulletin online, May 14.
Save the Colliery Dams Society, which represents some 2,000 people, pre-sented a common sense option: make a design, hire a competent dam-building firm, take out the middle dam, rebuild it, remove the lower dam, rebuild it with a hydro substation, work to be completed by spring 2015.
According to the city’s own contracted engi-neer’s report, this was the most cost-effective option for both keeping the lakes and the park, and those engineers didn’t mention the money-making hydro plant.
Instead, city council voted five to four (Diane Brennan, Ted Greves, John Ruttan, Diana John-stone, George Anderson versus Fred Pattje, Jim Kipp, Bill Bestwick, Bill McKay) in favour of destroying both dams immediately, thereby spending more money, creating more devasta-tion, making an entire park unusable, danger-ous and ugly for years until they get around to designing and building new dams.
No surprise since Col-liery Dam Park was not even included in the maps of Harewood at the recent Harewood Com-munity Plan open house.
Given the lack of dis-cussion and speed with which council passed the motion, I don’t believe for one instant the city plans to rebuild the dams. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.
Have those council members who voted in favour ever thought that people have the right to take the risks they choose?
Who are they to devalue homes and spend taxpayers’ money and force them to be safe.
Perhaps they should all move to Saskatchewan
and quit worrying about one in every 10,000-year earthquakes.

Technology available to build, not destroy
To the Editor,Re: Colliery dams
demolished as soon as possible, News Bulletin online, May 14.
The Colliery dams should not be destroyed, they should be restored.
Why is it so hard to reinforce the dam with a backup behind the origi-nal one?
We build skyscrapers, bridges, and other pieces of infrastructure earth-quake safe. What is so hard about making the dams safe?
Are the downtown waterfront highrises on the old Malaspina Hotel site safe from earthquakes? There are definitely a lot of lives at stake in these places. Are we going to tear them
down due to possible earthquakes?
Mayor and council are out of touch with the rest of the world. We live in an aging society and have to make the best of it.
In a major earthquake Vancouver Island, being on a continental shelf, could be destroyed. But we are not going to evac-uate the Island because we cannot fix the impos-sible.
But we can fix the dams to satisfy everyone.

Misplaced nostalgia ruins salmon stream
To the Editor,Re: Referendum a solu-
tion for cost to dams, Let-ters, May 11.
In response to the let-ter by Eric Ricker on the Colliery Dam Park dam decommissioning: when a group of people becomes so fixed on their own enjoyment of a
body of water that they forget the consequences of a dam failure, they are guilty of narcissism.
The colliery dams are a part of the history of Nanaimo, just like the subsidence from cave-ins and shaft failure.
The dams destroyed part of the most produc-tive salmon stream in the city, and we have a chance to restore it.
The Chase River already supports thou-sands of spawning salmon and there is no cost associated with “restoring it” as Ricker suggests.
Are we so institutional-ized in our thinking that we can’t imagine just leaving a river to its own devices? Do we have to interfere with everything we touch?
Everywhere in B.C. and along the Pacific coast, dams are being decom-missioned to improve fish access to streams.
Only in Nanaimo, with its misplaced sense of nostalgia, do we see such a reaction to stream res-toration.
It is ironic that people oppose the proposed Raven Coal Mine, but revere the colliery dams.
Think about that for a moment.

Outdated economics won’t solve society’s growing debt woes
To the Editor,Those who would
argue that higher taxes on large businesses and high wage earners will cripple the economy need to update their economics.
Contrary to their self- interested ideology, the true ‘job creators’ are not business people, but ordinary consum-ers.
Low wages, insecure jobs, high debt levels exacerbated by outra-geous credit card inter-est rates have severely cut demand for goods and services. Regard-less of tax rates or regulation, if demand is absent, smart busi-ness will wait for better times to hire workers.
Strong gross domestic product growth in past times of high taxation and corporations cur-rently sitting on moun-tains of reserved cash despite low taxes, low interest rates, negligible regulation and labour powerlessness proves this.
If high taxes drives
away investment, Nor-way, Finland and other Nordic states would be empty of people. Instead, they are amongst the most sta-ble, wealthy countries of Europe.
Despite the myth of the ‘free market,’ when corporations refuse to spend because of a dearth of demand, gov-ernment must step up to the plate.
While no one willingly chooses debt, austerity as practised throughout the west shows that government cutbacks at the same time as busi-ness and consumers merely guarantees con-tinued economic woe – and even more debt.
Our problem lies in a lack of revenue for gov-ernment to exercise its job creating power for public benefit.
So we limp along, using bad, outdated economics as our crutch when in fact belief in magic would be just as effective.
Liz Fox Lantzville
Nanaimo lacks big city numbersTo the Editor,Re: Consider city’s blue-collar roots, Opinion, May
11.In response to Grant Maxwell, and his support for
the multiplex idea: what Victoria has going for it is a population of roughly 350,000, in the greater Victoria area.
That’s at least three times Nanaimo’s population, and means Victoria’s publicly-funded Save-On-Foods Memorial Arena has a good chance of attracting big name acts and drawing the crowds needed to attend them.
Besides, Nanaimo has a publicly-funded perfor-mance venue in the Port Theatre. It’s top notch, but doesn’t support itself and needs taxpayer subsidies.
While Elton John could play there, he doesn’t. My sense is if Nanaimo had the population to sup-
port another venue, then by all means build it.Until we can fill and support the venues we have,
adding another just doesn’t make sense. Especially not in light of the current tax burden on
residents and the economic outlook.Brendan Millbank

When you turn on your tap and clean, safe water comes out, do you ever wonder how it got there or what happens to it when it goes down the drain? Or why you should care?
“We may think we have enough water for our needs in BC but that is not always the case. Our water is finite, and the demand is increasing due to climate change, popula-tion growth and industry needs,” says Daisy Fos-ter, CEO of the 4,700-member BC Water & Waste Association. “Although the expenses may not be apparent, there are significant costs, energy and human input required to treat our drink-ing water to be clean and safe, deliver it to our taps, and manage the wastewater that goes down the drain.”
She adds, “New regulations and aging infrastructure such as pipes and treatment systems will mean upgrades and replace-ments and this is something we are all going to have to pay for.”
During Drinking Water Week, May 20 – 26, BC Water & Waste Association asks you to ‘Get
to Know Your H2O’ and think about the impact of your every-day habits.
“We forget that we use the same treated drinking water to
wash our cars and water our lawns. We flush our toilets and away it goes with whatever we put down there,” says Foster. “Just a few simple changes such as water-ing our lawns less, using rain barrels, installing
water efficient fixtures or appli-ances, and not putting harmful substances down our drains can make a big difference.”
For example, detergents, paint, medications, and many other household products end up at wastewater treatment plants where special processes are required to minimize the impact on the environment and receiv-ing waters. Fats, oils and grease that we put down our drains can often cause blockages in sewer lines resulting in costly repairs.
Foster says, “During Drinking Water Week, get involved and learn more about your water and the impact of your actions. Start by taking the Community Water
Challenge and pledge to be water wise.”
The five easy pledges can be taken online. People can also find out about community events such as tours of water and wastewater treatment facil-ities in their area, or download fun and educational activities for children and families, at www.drinkingwaterweek.org.
Our water – Why do we need to protect it? Why should we care?
Be Water Wise: I will limit my shower time to 5 minutes per day.
I will install a water efficient fixture or appliance in my home.
I will use less water outdoors by giving my lawn only the amount of water it needs (2.5 cm of water each week, or the height of a tuna can).
I will turn off the tap when brushing my teeth, scrubbing dishes, shaving, or during any other water wasting activity.
I will not put harmful substances such as cleaners, paints, pesticides and grease down my drain.
Did You Know? n The average British Columbian uses 353 litres of water per day, yet thinks they use less than 200 litres per day.* n 78 per cent of British Columbians would fix an internet outage within a day, but only 50 per cent would fix a leaky faucet within the same time frame.*n Replacing an 18-litre-per-flush toilet with an ultra low volume 6-litre or less model leads to a 66% savings in water flushed and will reduce indoor water use by about 30%.

1. British Columbians use more water than other Canadians. T__ F__
2. A toilet that continues to run after flushing can waste up to 200,000 litres of water in a single year. T__ F__
3. The best way to achieve a healthy lawn is by watering lightly several times a week. T__ F__
Answers: 1.True: British Columbians use an average of 353 litres of water per day; the average Canadian uses 274 litres of water per day.* 2. True: To find out if your toilet is leaking, put two or three drops of food colouring in the tank at the back of the toilet, and wait a few minutes. If the colour shows up in the bowl, there’s a leak. 3. False: Watering your lawn thoroughly once per week rather than lightly at a greater frequency will strengthen the roots and promote a greener, healthier lawn.

10 Nanaimo News Bulletin Thursday, May 16, 2013 www.nanaimobulletin.com
Scientists often come up with new discoveries, technolo-gies or theories.
But sometimes they rediscover what our ancestors already knew. A couple of recent findings show we have a lot to learn from our forebears – and nature – about bugs.
Modern methods of controlling pests have consisted mainly of poisoning them with chemicals. But that’s led to prob-lems.
Pesticides kill far more than the bugs they target, and pol-lute air, water and soil. As we learned with the widespread use of DDT to control agricul-tural pests and mos-quitoes, chemicals can bioac-cumulate – meaning molecules may con-centrate hundreds of thousands of times up the food web – eventually reaching people.
As Rachel Carson wrote in her 1962 book Silent Spring, using DDT widely without knowing the full consequences was folly. She showed it was polluting water and killing wildlife, especially birds, and that it could cause cancer in humans.
Her book launched the environmental movement but did little to change our overall strategy for dealing with bugs. Although DDT was banned worldwide for agricultural purposes in 2001, the chemical is still used to control insects that spread disease.
Recent research shows that wide-spread use of pesti-cides like DDT may have caused us to ignore or forget benign methods of pest control. Because the chemicals were so effective, infesta-tions were reduced and there was little interest in non-toxic methods.
But bugs evolve quickly and can become immune to pesticides. That’s true of bedbugs, the now ubiquitous crit-ters that are showing
up around the world in homes, hotels, schools, movie the-atres – even libraries.
But a method used long ago provides an effective and non-toxic weapon against the pests, according to a U.S. study in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface.
The authors looked into the once-common Eastern European practice of spreading bean leaves around a bed to control bedbugs. What they found was fascinating.
“During the night, bed bugs walking on the floor would accu-mulate on these bean
leaves, which were collected and burned the follow-ing morning to exter-minate the bed bugs” the scien-tists, from the Uni-versity of California,
Irvine, and University of Kentucky, wrote.
“The entrapment of bed bugs by the bean leaves was attrib-uted to the action of microscopic plant hairs (trichomes) on the leaf surfaces that would entangle the legs of the bed bugs.”
They discovered that after bugs get caught up in the hooked plant hairs, they struggle to escape, and in the process vulnerable parts of their feet are pierced by the hooks, permanently trapping them.
The research focuses on a way to replicate this.
“This physical entrapment is a source of inspiration in the development of new and sustainable methods to control the burgeoning num-bers of bed bugs,” the researchers wrote, adding that the method “would avoid the problem of pesti-cide resistance that has been documented extensively for this insect.”
Other research has literally dug up pest control methods that go back millen-nia. An international team of archeolo-gists recently found evidence people liv-ing in South Africa almost 80,000 years
ago made bedding out of insect-repelling plants.
According to the journal Science, the research team found 15 different layers containing bedding made from compacted stems and leaves of sedges and rushes, dating between 38,000 and 77,000 years ago.
The archeologists also found evidence that people often burned the bedding after use, possibly to remove pests.
These are just two
examples of what we can learn from our ancestors and from nature. Because natural systems tend toward balance, the fascinating field of biomimicry has developed to explore what nature can teach us.
Maybe the truest sign of human intel-ligence is not to learn how we can shoehorn nature into our own agenda, but to see how we can better find our own place in nature.

As part of its annual general meeting May 22, Nanaimo Community Hos-pice invites its members and the general public to a performance of the one-act play Are You Listening to Me?... A Whimsical Fantasy of the Final Journey From Here to There.
The play is a celebration of creativity and community conversations around what some might consider a dif-ficult subject – advance care
planning for end-of-life care. Nanaimo Hospice is near-
ing the end of its capital campaign, Expand the Heart of Hospice, to move to a new home with twice the space and room to grow.
The AGM highlights the activities of the past year and provides a glimpse into the bright new future as Hospice moves locations.
The AGM is at the Unitar-ian Hall, 595 Townsite Rd. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., the meeting lasts until 7:30 p.m., and the play begins at 7:45 p.m.
F o r m o re i n f o r m a -tion, please go to www.nanaimohospice.com.

Silva Sound consisting of Jesse Cullen, left; Robin Soles, front centre; Jenna Lee, back centre; Chris Holmes, right; and Sam Friesen and Dustin Flemming, not pictured, play at the Queen’s at 8 p.m. Friday (May 17).
BY RACHEL STERNTHE NEWS BULLETIN
Silva Sound melds elements of earth with reggae and rock beats to create its druidic dub music.
The band finds inspiration in the coastal rainforests on Van-couver Island and infuses those components in its writing.
“It kind of comes out naturally. We like both rock and dub and reggae and we blend it together and it makes a really unique sound,” said Robin Soles, who plays the synthesizer to create bass sounds.
“We combine dub and rock to make a heavy sound but with big breaks and bass behind it. It turns out to be a unique dance rock sound with R&B style vocals.”
Soles said the band likes to make people dance but also like to have a message in the music, which con-sists of remember-ing to honour nature and them-selves as a collective and being the best you can be.
“As individuals that is really important to us. We are really comforted and inspired by it. All of our childhood rotated around nature,” said Soles, adding that band members feel happiest and strongest when connected to the earth.
Silva Sound formed two years ago and played its first gig at the Diversity Festival. It has six members: Soles, Chris Holmes, Jesse Cullen, Jenna Lee, Sam Fri-esen and Dustin Flemming.
The band released its first, self-titled, album in 2011 and its
second album Out of the Living in 2012. Silva Sound is currently working on its third album, which is expected to be released this summer.
The band has been getting some international radio play and also plans on creating a provincewide tour and tour of California in 2014.
The songwriters in the group are Cullen and Holmes. Soles said they are the backbone of the group.
When a framework is estab-lished the band meets to finish the songs together.
“ W e c o m e together and fill in the pieces,” she said.
Soles said she grew up playing the classical piano. She put music aside in her early 20s and then began to be drawn back into it.
It was seeing how music brings people together that made her start making music again.
Silva Sound performs at the Queen’s Friday (May 17) at 8 p.m. Soles said she hopes people come out and watch.
Soles said it feels good when the band members see that lis-teners are being taken away by their music.
“Our favourite part is when we can see that the crowd is actu-ally dancing and listening and being taken away by it,” she said.
For more information about the band please go to www.silvasound.com.
Doors for the Silva Sound per-formance open at 7 p.m. and admission is $5.

The diversity of great world music is travelling to Nanaimo this year during the Vancouver Island Symphony’s 19th sea-son.
The season, called Passport to Great Entertainment, takes audience members to one city each con-cert to experience flavours from around the globe.
The idea was to create concerts that revolved around a city where great music was born, said Pierre Simard, artistic director of the Van-couver Island Sym-phony.
“It’s a very strong season,” he said. “It’s really just great music. It’s fun music and it ’s relevant music.”
This year’s season has timeless clas-sics, such as pieces by Haydn and Tchai-kovsky and popular pleasures people might not expect to hear a symphony perform such as The Beatles’ Eleanor Rigby and Let It Be.
Simard said the Van-couver Island Sym-phony performances have a different feel than those put on by
big city orchestras.“Our concerts are
always a celebration. There is always a dialogue a feeling of arriving and leaving the concert hall with something more,” he said.
Margot Holmes,
executive director of the symphony, said the concerts are about more than what is happening onstage. She said for many patrons it’s about having a night out and socializing and connecting with
people in the lobby before and after the concert. It’s about building a commu-nity.
This year’s Popular Pleasures series kicks off with Christmas Cirque Spectacular on Dec. 6 and 7. The Cirque de la Sym-phonie is returning to Nanaimo for this performance. Simard said feedback from the previous col-laboration between the symphony and cirque was so posi-tive the organization decided they had to bring them back.
The performance is a combination of music and acrobatics and dancing.
The series contin-ues with Movie Music Mania in February and The Best of The Beatles in April 2014.
The Timeless Trea-sures series begins with Paris Romance and features guest artist Alexandre Da Costa on October 26 and continues with London Majesty in November, Madrid Passion in January and St. Petersberg Courage in March 2014.
The Timeless Trea-sures series ends with Nanaimo Home a special concert with guest artist Calvin
Dyck. During the per-formance the audi-ence gets to vote for the pieces they want to hear. It’s like a sym-phonic jukebox, said Simard.
“ T h e a u d i e n c e participates in the music as the concert unfolds,” he said.
This year’s season also includes the show Nanaimo Bar
None: showcasing supreme, scrump-tious talent.
The performance features more than 170 award winning performers including dancers from Kirk-wood Academy, the Wellington Second-ary School Jazz Band, Crimson Coast Dance Society’s Holly Bright, the VIS Symphonic
Choir and more. The show isn’t
included in the sub-scription packages and must be pur-chased separately.

He’s ruff, gruff and a coward.The Cowardly Lion wants to
have the courage to become king of the forest. His life changes when he meets a girl named Dorothy and they fol-low the yellow brick road to Oz. He finds his inner bravery and confronts his fears.
It’s a character Bill Miner, a member of Radio After Dark, has always wanted to play and now he is during the group’s production of The Wizard of Oz.
“He was such a vaudevillian character,” said Miner. “He’s just a big ham at heart.”
Radio After Dark’s shows harken back to the time when people used to gather around the radio to listen to shows. Cast members are recreating those nostalgic radio shows.
Performers won’t be act-ing onstage but will have to recreate the show using their voices and sound effects.
For the production, Radio After Dark combined the 1950s radio script with the movie script.
Miner said there were about 10 iconic moments in the film that weren’t included in the radio production. The radio show also didn’t have the songs Lions, Tigers and Bears or If I Were King of the Forest.
Miner said it was a laborious process to put those scenes in but he felt it wouldn’t have the nostalgic impact if those weren’t included.
Miner said what struck him about the movie as a child was the magical transition to Oz from a black and white world to a colourful otherworldly place.
“It was one of my first expe-riences to fantastical worldly visions. It just captured my imagination. It was so easy to suspend disbelief and sink into the adventure with them,” said Miner.
Actors involved in the pro-duction include Miner, Chris Jans, Kathy McIntyre, Antonio Gradanti and Tina Jones.
Radio After Dark is hosting three performances. The first is at Nanaimo Centre Stage Friday (May 17) and perfor-mances at the Gabriola Golf Club Monday (May 20) and Tuesday (May 21). Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 and available by calling 250-714-0050, Fascinating Rhythm, Artworks and the Gabriola Golf Club.

BY GREG SAKAKITHE NEWS BULLETIN
In a lot of ways, they’re the all-new Nanaimo Timbermen.
The Nanaimo Coastal Windows Timbermen are preparing to take the floor Friday (May 17) in Burnaby for the start of another Western Lacrosse Association season.
There’s no question it is a transition year. There are no longer any original players left from the inaugural 2005 sea-son, though one mem-ber of that team, Kaleb Toth, is stepping behind the bench in 2013.
The Timbermen made major moves in the off-season, granting trade requests from MVP Scott Ranger and another top scorer, Cory Conway.
“Sure, it’s nice to have an all-star here and there, but it’s nice to have a group of guys that want to work hard for each other and that’s what we have here,” said Toth.
This season brings a challenge, but also an opportunity, and play-ers recognize that.
“I think everyone’s going to have to really step up and accept more of a role this year and just really contrib-ute everywhere they can,” said Zak Boychuk, the team’s goalie.
The T-men can’t really fill the shoes of the departed all-stars, said Graham Palmer, vet-eran defender, but he said guys don’t need to try to do too much out there.
“We have people to step up and take the opportunity and run with it,” Palmer said.
The coach said in building this year’s
team, he’s seeking guys with the right attitude. He doesn’t want players who accept losing.
“When everyone has a common goal like winning, it’s amazing what good things can happen,” Toth said. “As soon as you start accepting losses at any point in your life, life’s got you beat.”
Timbermen begin transition yearThe Nanaimo Clippers
have to part with a big piece of their blueline corps.
Defenceman Josh Bryan and forward Michael McNicholas were revealed to be the future acqui-sitions from January’s trade-deadline deal that brought Aaron Hadley from the Vernon Vipers.
Hadley played only six games for the Clips before being lost the rest of the way with a knee injury.
After the Clippers were eliminated from the West-ern Canada Cup earlier this month, coach Mike Vandekamp said Hadley was just the sort of expe-rienced player who would have helped at that tour-nament.
“We made a pretty big trade at the deadline and never got anything out of it,” he said.
The Vipers like the additions of Bryan and McNicholas.
“[McNicholas] is gifted offensively and if we put him with the right guys, he’ll be a danger-ous player,” said Vipers coach Jason Williamson. “[Bryan] is a guy we can lean on for leadership and play in all kinds of situa-tions.”
In other Clippers news, the club announced the commitment of 19-year-old Anthony Sabitsky of Sicklerville, N.J. The 5-foot-11, 175-pound for-ward led his Milton Acad-emy team in scoring last season with 18 goals and 31 assists in 24 games.

Nanaimo is a foot-ball hotbed in B.C., and more proof of that came this week.
Eight local teens have been invited by Football B.C. to attend provincial team tryout camps in Richmond this coming weekend (May 18-20).
Brandon Parker, Justin Cook, Brody Taylor and Kyle Vol-let will participate in the U18 camp and Nathanael Durkan, Cory Fletcher, Car-son Vos and Brandon White will be part of the U16 camp.
All eight are from either the John Barsby Secondary School football pro-gram or Football Nanaimo.
“We are looking for-ward to an incredible showcase of skill and talent at this week-end’s camp,” said Patrick Waslen, Foot-ball B.C. executive director, in a press release.
Also at the camp this weekend will be Football Nanaimo’s Sean Roden, who has been named as
coach of the U16 Team B.C. that will compete at the Red River Cup in Winni-peg in July.
“We feel the expe-rience and knowl-edge he has with the Canadian game,
as well as his track record of success with the Nanaimo Redmen, makes him the ideal candidate for this position,” said Dino Geremia, Football B.C.’s tech-nical director.
Soggy Pirates get week off
The Nanaimo Hub City Paving Pirates, coming off a win last week, didn’t get the opportunity to try to build on it.
The city’s B.C. Premier Baseball League team had its scheduled doubleheader at North Delta rained out last Sunday.
The rainouts leave the Pirates with a long stretch between league games as they won’t play again until May 25 when they are slated to host the Whalley Chiefs at Serauxmen Stadium.
The Nanaimo Pirates junior team was able to get in two games last weekend, losing 5-0 and then winning 3-1 against the North Shore Twins on Saturday at Serauxmen Stadium.
Josh Burgmann threw a complete-game win, allowing no earned runs while striking out eight. North Rainey had two hits and two runs scored, Matt Skingle also had two hits and Adam McLeod reached base three times.
The junior Pirates also have a break in the schedule this weekend.

Here’s a look at the senior A Nanaimo Timbermen who will take the floor in 2013:
OFFENCEThe T-men attack won’t at all
resemble that of recent sea-sons, in which the offence, at times, was almost completely dependent on one player.
“We’ve got to keep the ball hot,” Kaleb Toth said. “No offence to any of the guys in the past, but sometimes the ball would get in one guy’s stick and it wouldn’t come out. We don’t have that one guy that can go through three guys and score a goal.”
The T-men will need to be reliant on Cody Bremner this season. Last year’s WLA Rookie of the Year is still fin-ishing up his college semester, but is expected back before the end of the month.
Returnees Cayle Ratcliff, Blake Kenny and Ryan Keith will all get more touches and rookie transition players Paul Brebber, Kyle Dexter and Jake Emms will be asked to con-tribute right away.
Veteran scorer Joel Henry won’t join the T-men to start the year but could make a return at a later date.
DEFENCE/TRANSITIONWith the offence getting
used to a whole new game plan, the other facets of the game may become magni-fied, particularly early in the season. Team success will be closely linked to the transition game.
“That’s what I’m hoping for this year, is that we get a lot of outnumbered rushes, we score at least five or six tranny goals a game,” said the coach.
Veteran defence/transition players Doug Langlois and Graham Palmer will lead the unit, and newcomer Barclay Hickey has impressed in camp. Other returning tran-sition players include Kyle Hofer and Myles Kenny, Sean Nugent and Bobby Debrone are also back on D, and rookie Tom Newton has earned a spot.
Toth said he wants his guys to take care of things in the defensive end, and then, when they get the ball, outrun the
opposition’s offensive players jogging off the floor.
“We are very fit and we’ll be able to run with any team out there,” said Palmer.
GOALTENDINGZak Boychuk takes over the
job as No. 1 goalie this year after making a strong case for the distinction during his first two WLA seasons.
“It’ll be a challenge, but I’m ready to take it on and lead these guys in [net] night in, night out, give them all I’ve got and stop as many balls as I can back there so we can win a lot of games this year,” Boy-chuk said.
Brandon Mulligan will be the backup goalie this year.
OUTLOOKThe Timbermen, after five
straight years out of the play-offs, might have needed a change, and it’s come.
The roster, on paper, doesn’t compare with that of some of the WLA favourites, and Boy-chuk said it will take “almost
picture-perfect games” to win.“Talent-wise, we do have
good talent, but stacking up to teams like Victoria and Lang-ley, where half their rosters are NLL rosters, we just can’t [match] that,” he said. “But if we work harder than them we’ll surprise them a lot of the time.”
Toth said the Timbermen lineup is capable of winning games.
“When you get everyone buying in, everyone work-ing hard, nine times out of 10 you’re going to win the game,” he said.
GAME ONThe T-men visit the Burnaby
Lakers on Friday (May 17) and then return home to play the New Westminster Salmonbel-lies on Sunday at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena.
For season ticket informa-tion, please visit www.tmen.ca. Tickets to Sunday’s game will also be available at the door; cost is $12 for adults.

BMX racers win at major race
It’s still relatively early in the BMX season, but some local racers are already in championship form.
The Nanaimo BMX Association had a contingent of riders at Fraser Valley Nationals, part of the ABA BMX national series, May 11-12 in Chilliwack.
Allison Churko was one of the club’s big winners as she won her 10-and-under cruiser division both Saturday and Sunday. Churko also had third- and second-place finishes in the 10-year-old girls’ division. Greg McGill won his 61-and-over cruiser races both days and Mackay Leslie took first place in the 16-year-old cruiser race Saturday.
Other Nanaimo riders with podium finishes at the event were Amanda Little, Ayden Houle, Mike Smith, Bailey Smith and Ryan Kerney.
VIBI Mariners earn awards
Vancouver Island Baseball Institute was able to finish strong both as a team and individually.
Several Mariners were recognized at the Canadian College Baseball Conference awards banquet May 9 in Kamloops.
VIBI outfielder Darren Kolk was chosen a first-team all-star while pitcher Connor Russell and outfielder Cody Andreychuk were named second-team all-stars. Russell also received an award for leading the league in strikeouts (48) and the Mariners pitching staff combined for the most team strikeouts in 2013, with 191.
The M’s placed third at the national championships this year. An article on the tournament appeared in Tuesday’s News Bulletin and can still be accessed online.

Nanaimo Timbermen player Brett Fleming, middle, takes a shot on goal during Saturday’s B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League game against the Burnaby Lakers at Frank Crane Arena.
Captain sets team goals
BY GREG SAKAKIThe News BulleTiN
The new captain of the junior A Timber-men has one team goal that he wants to accomplish as soon as possible – get a win.
Brett Fleming has been chosen as team captain of Nanaimo’s B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League club for the 2013 season. He’s tasked with leading a T-men team (1-3) that has so far won only be default.
“Right now it’s a pride thing,” he said. “We’ve got to get that monkey off our back. We’ve got to get that win.”
Fleming, a second-year vet, has been doing his part so far. He’s third on team scoring and his five goals are halfway to the 10 he scored in 2012. Fleming said earlier this season coach Brad Dougan challenged him to be better, then the coach recognized the player’s efforts by entrusting him with the ‘C.’
“It’s an absolute honour, especially coming from coach Dougan. He’s a tough
cutomer when it comes to our play-ers…” said Fleming. “It was pretty nice to get rewarded that way.”
The coach said his team captain is work-manlike and versatile.
“I can put him on the penalty kill, I can put him on the power play, he’ll go get me a loose ball,” said Dou-gan. “So if you’ve got a guy on your roster that can do that, it’s an easy choice for a coach. And I know
he’s a good team guy.”T h e t r a n s i t i o n
player suggested he’ll probably be running in and out the back door of the team’s bench more often as offensive reinforce-ments join the roster. Other than that, his role as captain won’t necessarily change his game.
“I’ve just got to bring my game every game and hopefully lead by example,” he said.
IFLEMING TO wear ‘C’ this season.
Juniors plan to make changes to gameFrom the moment
their last game ended, the junior A Timbermen were a l re a d y l o o k i n g ahead to the next one.
After losing 11-10 to the Burnaby Lak-ers last Saturday at Frank Crane Arena, the T-men were identifying ways to improve.
The T-men wanted to learn from that loss but move on, said Brett Fleming, team captain.
“Whether it’s cut-ting off-ball and get-ting open, or if it’s just beating your man one-on-one, we’re not doing enough of that…” said Fleming. “We’ve got some stuff to work on.”
GAME ON … The junior A Timber-men host the Port Coquitlam Saints on Saturday (May 18) at 5 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena. Nanaimo then hosts the Victoria Shamrocks Tuesday at 7 p.m. Admission is $10 for adults, $8 for seniors/students and $5 for children.

a bouquet. Friday evening’s jazz concert at the Vault in the Troubadour Concert Series featuring Joan Wallace and the Marty’s was an amazing experience for me. A live jazz concert in an historic venue with big arched windows and old world ambience reminded me of Europe and New Orleans at the same time. Jazz, blues and pop standards, including originals by Marty Steele, kept us moving to the rhythms and thoroughly enjoying the evening.
a huge bouquet of roses to the Country Club Save-On-Foods. When another grocery store lost the order for my son’s birthday cake, Save-On-Foods quickly offered to put together an Angry Birds cake for my son and had it ready for us in 10 minutes. Thank you for your excellent customer service and for helping to make my son’s birthday a success.
thank you to the B.C. Hydro employee who went back up the pole to take the tape off the two birds’ nests that were covered up. It made me feel a lot better. The birds came back as soon as you left to finish raising their young.
a bouquet to Mitch at Future Shop who helped me solve the cabling problem on my computer. He put the meaning back into customer service.
a grateful bouquet of buds to the Northgate Liquor Store. You always provide awesome service and selection and a generous number of prize draws. My husband loves the Budweiser fridge I won. It’s perfect.
a special bouquet of thanks to Kidsport for helping to fund a volleyball player this past season. Also appreciation goes out to Woodgrove Centre, Meyers Norris Penny, Nanaimo Oldtimers Hockey, the Nanaimo Clippers, SupErb Construction and all the others who donate to Kidsport to make this happen. Sports are expensive but they also help keep kids out of trouble, and we as a family are grateful that this support is out there.
a big, warm, glittery bouquet of sunshine to a wonderful and kind female shopper named June at the Flying Fish. I was in shopping with my dear friend, Rita, who is 93. She loved your glittery sun visor, so you just gave it to her. She wears it every day in this amazing weather we are having. Even though she suffers from Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, she still remembers your kindness.
armfuls of heritage spring blooms to Thrifty Foods, KC’s Boutique, Diana’s Garden Centre, Cactus Club Café and the Nanaimo Empire Days Society, all of which contributed generously to the Heritage May Queen Tea hosted by the Crescent Star Society, Order of the Eastern Star.
a bouquet to Michaels arts and crafts store – both staff and customers – for donating 1,000 books to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Central Vancouver Island.
a bouquet to the sponsors and donors for the Volunteer Nanaimo luncheon.
a big bouquet to the Wellington Pub for hosting a successful burger and beer night in support of the 2422 Nanaimo army cadets.
a bouquet of children’s smiles to our community for supporting Altrusa’s recent 60th anniversary events. Nearly 200 children enjoyed the outdoor children’s party and our fashion show fundraiser was a sellout. Thank you, Nanaimo, for helping our service club support women, children and literacy.
the biggest bouquet of flowers to the wonderful volunteers who helped Morrell Sanctuary Society with our 19th annual plant sale. Many thanks to the private donors who gave us such great prizes for our raffle and to Colin Bartlett from Backyard Birders for his continuing support. To Winnie – words cannot express our gratitude for your dedication.
a beautiful bouquet to the blond lady and the gentleman with the mustache who stopped to help me when I fell off the sidewalk while riding my scooter.
bouquets to the bikers for exercising their constitutional rights when the police tried to stop the annual Ride for Zeke in Duncan.
a beef to the computer company
that didn’t include the proper cables to make its hard drive work.
a beef to a grocery store for losing the order for my son’s birthday cake and doing nothing to make up for it. We had to drive around to find another cake with only 30 minutes until the party started.
a beef to the store that removed all the benches from the fitting rooms. Ever try putting on pants while standing up?
a rotten pile of apples to an employee in a local grocery store, who I overheard swearing in the produce department. Next time I will be going to your manager.
a careless, stinky beef to some businesses in and around downtown that put sandwich boards in the way of pedestrians and those with walkers. The city’s bylaws department should look into this.
a beef to the city. Two fewer parking spots on Commercial Street is the end result of the sidewalk widening in front of a café. Further motivation not to shop downtown.
a you-should-know-better beef to all the professional drivers who don’t slow down to the 30 km/h speed limit in school zones Monday to Friday, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
a huge beef to people who post garage sale signs with no date and then don’t bother to take them down after the sale is over. If this continues, maybe the city ought to pass a bylaw prohibiting garage sales on all but one weekend a year.
a beef to the school district’s learning alternatives program. Just what we need, 30 more youths learning stream stewardship at the expense of literacy and numeracy.
a beef. I recently had a difficult day filled with anxiety, sadness and insult. I am on a limited income and when I went to pay for food for my animals, I discovered that my money was missing. As I was about to leave, upset because my money was gone and it was all I had to feed myself and my animals, a woman came up and accused me of stealing. To top it off, when I got home, I discovered my 13-year-old cat was missing.
a beef to a bus driver for not bothering to put out the ramp for a senior.
a shame-on-you beef to the drivers who didn’t stop and help the two injured victims of a recent motor vehicle accident near Country Club Centre.
a gallon of beef to piggishly high gas prices. $1.41 a litre is ridiculous. Strange how fuel prices tend to rise in relation to improvements in fuel economy of new vehicles. Sky high fuel prices are driving prices of everything through the roof. Consumers have never been able to get ahead of the game and never will – and this is an oil-producing country. It’s sick.
a wayward beef to the drunk young people who knock on our front door late at night asking us to call their mothers because they’re lost. You’re lucky you don’t get hit by a car stumbling around drunk on Cedar and North Oyster roads in the dark. You’re also lucky people don’t just call the police instead of your mothers to collect your drunken butts.
