Nanaimo visitors could soon pay for tourist attractions in the Harbour City.
The Nanaimo Hospitality Associa-tion, with the support of the City of Nanaimo and Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation, is looking to add a new two-per cent accommo-dation tax to hotel bills. The move is aimed at creating a new pot of money to pay for and market tourism attrac-tions in the Harbour City, from multi-day festivals to a new interpretive and cultural centre on Newcastle Island.
This city wouldn’t be the first to see the charge levied. According to the province, 47 B.C. municipalities and
regional districts are collecting the two-per cent Municipal and Regional District Tax to help bolster tourism.
Dan Brady, chairman for the Nanaimo Hospitality Association, says Nanaimo seems to be one of the few municipalities without the tax, but that it would be a positive step and a way to create tourism attrac-tion opportunities. He also said 80 per cent of hotel operators now support ringing up the new charge, which is expected to pull in $375,000 to $406,000 in the first fiscal year and lead to more hotel stays.
The money would be collected by the City of Nanaimo, which has to apply to the province to levy the tax, create a new bylaw and commit to funding the Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation’s tourism
arm at $570,000 a year. The tax is meant to promote tourism on top of what municipalities already do, so to get the two per cent, Nanaimo must continue to fund Tourism Nanaimo, according to a city report.
How to spend the money will be decided by the hospitality associa-tion, which will work with the eco-nomic development corporation to achieve its tourism goals.
“One of the things identified [in Tourism Nanaimo’s strategic plan] is ... developing the destination, so that’s where accommodators are prepared to step in and at least help fund that,” Brady said, adding visi-tors will likely be OK with the extra charge because they pay it in other B.C. communities.

Visitors tapped to help pay for tourism initiatives
Brothers avoid prison time for bar fight death
By KarL yuThE NEwS BULLETIN
After pleading guilty to charges related to the assault that caused the death of Gabriola Island resident Michael Brophy, the Maybin brothers will not spend time in prison.
Brophy died from a brain injury after a fight in October 2006 at the Grizzly Bar, which has since closed.
At a sentencing hearing Friday, Judge Cathe-rine Bruce issued conditional sentence orders, with Timothy Maybin, 29, to serve two years less a day for manslaughter, and Matthew Maybin, 31, eight months for assault causing bodily harm. Earlier in the day, Buddha Gains, a bouncer at the former bar, entered a guilty plea to assault causing bodily harm in relation to the incident.
The conditional sentence is a jail term that is served conditionally in the community, according to Crown counsel spokesman Gor-don Comer.
As part of their sentences, the brothers must remain in their residences at all times, with allowances for work, medical emergencies, community service, exercise and to attend religious services.
In addition, Timothy will be required to com-plete 50 hours of community service while Matthew will be required to complete 20 hours. The brothers will be prohibited from consum-ing alcohol or drugs during their terms and possessing weapons for 10 years. Neither may be in contact with Brophy’s family unless it is for purposes of restorative justice. Both will have to submit DNA samples and pay a $100 victim surcharge.

Nanaimo school district will alter its elementary school schedules in order to account for the job action by teachers.
Beginning Monday (April 28), recess will be rescheduled to the end of the day and as such, school will end 15 minutes early.
Parents are encour-aged to pick their chil-dren up from school 15 minutes earlier and in the event they are unable to do so, supervision will be provided until the regularly scheduled end of the school day.
Supervision will also be provided to students who use bus service – buses will run per the usual schedule.
A non-instructional day that was sched-uled for May 5 will still take place but the non-instructional day, set for May 6, will be postponed and stu-dents will be required to attend school.
Professional Learn-ing Communities that had been scheduled to begin this spring have been cancelled and schools wil l not let out an hour early on April 28 and May 12, as originally scheduled.
While teachers will not be providing supervision prior and after school and dur-ing recess, the duties will be assumed by management staff, principals and vice-principals during the job action, according to the school district.
The district is ask-ing parents to drop children off shortly before school and immediately after as supervision at those times will be limited.

Lantzville’s elementary school, municipal office and even its churches failed to meet fire code inspections, according to recently-released reports.
The first inspection reports done by the Lantz-ville fire department and released in a Freedom of Information request, high-light risks found in the community’s public build-ings, from emergency lights that don’t work, to the lack of smoke alarms, exit signs and fire safety plans.
In an earlier interview Lantzville Fire Chief Tom Whipps said he wasn’t find-ing any violations he didn’t expect, with businesses left unchecked for the last decade.
While the District of Lantzv i l le has been required by the B.C. Fire Services Act to inspect public buildings since 2003, it only started to look at potential fire risks last year.
According to Whipps, the volunteer fire depart-ment didn’t have the time nor the people trained to do the job. It wasn’t until a 2013 fire underwriters’ survey showed the need for department to have fire pre-plans, a result of inspections, that the municipality started to invest resources in the hunt for fire code viola-tions.
Inspection reports sub-mitted between last year and February show vio-lations discovered at the district office, which required wires to be sealed and boxes to be removed from against the water and baseboard heaters and near the electrical panel.
Woodgrove Christian Com-munity Church, which leases a district building, had seating that doesn’t conform to code, fire sepa-ration issues and the need for emergency exit signs, while Sow’s Ear Medical Clinic was found without exit signs, working emer-gency lights and extin-guishers with service tags. Slegg Lumber had a range of issues from blocked aisles to an obstructed hydrant connection.
The local school also didn’t pass inspection with a short-list of violations like rooms without emer-gency escape plans, voids in fire resistant walls and a functioning cook top with-out an extinguisher. School principal Patrick Young said the issues have been addressed, though prior to the report he hadn’t been aware there was an inspec-tion process. The school has a safety committee that checks the building and the fire department does a casual walk-through during drills.
“We weren’t aware there was a formal process ... but we always have [the fire department’s] pres-ence here walking through so it’s almost like we were inspected,” Young said.
Slegg Lumber assistant manager Dyanne Costello said the list of code viola-tions found at the store sounds worse than it is. Much of the issues would have been fixed already if inspections been done previously, she said, add-ing a lot of the issues have existed for more than a decade.
Those with infractions have up to two months to comply.

Regional District of Nanaimo direc-tors have given final approval of non-confidence motions related to the Island Corridor Foundation.
The motions, originally proposed at the April 8 committee of the whole meeting, will see a meeting set up with affected First Nations and other regional districts to dis-cuss the future of the foundation.
Following that, the regional dis-trict would affirm support for a task force, comprised of people with knowledge of railways, who would “assist in reinvigorating the Island Corridor Foundation,” as the motion states.
Parksville director Marc Lefebvre, who introduced the April 8 motion, said one of the task force’s aims
would be to provide a third party independent review of whether $20 million is an accurate figure for track and infrastructure upgrades, a figure that was mentioned by the founda-tion.
Nanaimo director Diane Brennan proposed delaying the First Nations and regional districts meeting after a meeting with the foundation and Southern Railway of Vancouver Island (track operator), stating that it was “precipitous to call a meeting with our other partners until we’ve heard from the ICF per our request to them.”
Area F director Julian Fell pointed out that numerous meeting requests had been made, but were turned down. The motion to defer the meet-ing was defeated but the original motion passed.

Neighbour rescues woman from burning houseNanaimo Fire Rescue investigators
are still probing the cause of a fire in a kitchen that sent a woman to hos-pital on Friday.
The blaze, at a residence on Wavecrest Drive, was discovered by a neighbour shortly before 6 p.m.
“There was a fire on the floor in her kitchen,” said Capt. Ennis Mond, fire
prevention officer. “The neighbour’s daughter saw the smoke coming from the house and went and alerted her dad.”
The man discovered the woman on the floor and pulled her to safety. He then put the fire out with a garden hose. The exact cause of the fire is still under investigation.

From /1The accommoda-
tion tax has been floated among poli-ticians and hospital-ity members since 2009.
The City of Nanaimo has now prepared a business plan and an applica-tion for the prov-ince and Nanaimo city council mem-bers were to con-sider a new bylaw during an open meeting after press time Monday.
With the help of the new tax, the city’s business plan estimates total fund-ing for local tour-ism initiatives will increase from $1.25 million in 2014 to $1.3 million by 2018. Every five years, the business plan, including how to spend the money, will be reviewed, according to Brady, who said the need now is for commu-nity champions of tourist initiatives.
Snuneymuxw Chief John Wesley was unavailable for comment to discuss plans for Newcastle Island.
Hotel tax earmarked for events
A public address system and other items were stolen from the Barsby Bulldogs football team when someone broke into the team’s storage room Wednesday night.
Thieves disabled the alarm system to get in the team’s outbuilding at John Barsby
Secondary School. Once inside they pried open a smaller room and made off with public address speakers and related sound equipment and accessories, a tool box and a pair of size-15, black high-top cleats. Police are viewing video security cam-
era footage of the incident.Anyone with information
is asked to please call Const. Denis Fraser at Nanaimo RCMP detachment at 250-754-2345 or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or www.nanaimocrimestoppers.com.

Theft suspects charged
Three people are in custody and charged with thefts from vehicles and fraudulent use of credit cards.
The suspects charged were among four people who were arrested April 18 after police searched a home in the 2000 block of Bowen Road and found numerous items that were reported stolen from vehicles throughout Nanaimo and Parksville.
Items taken from vehicles included wallets, iPhones, mechanical equipment and personal and commercial cheque books. Six cheques totalling $5,094.64 were cashed at local banks.
Brandon Cash, 24, Meghan Stewart, 25, and Rachel Gallant, 27, all from Nanaimo, appeared in Nanaimo provincial court April 22 and were remanded in custody until they appear in court April 29 for a bail hearing.
A 38-year-old man was also arrested, but was released from custody on a promise to appear in Nanaimo provincial court in late June.
All four suspects face charges of theft, possession of stolen property and use of forged documents.
“The incidents of wallets being left in vehicles and then stolen seems to be increasing,” said Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman. “This is a dangerous practice and sets the owner up for financial loss and the possibility of identity theft.”
city sceneInbrief
By Karl yuThe NewS BulleTIN
A murder trial is set to resume June 23 in B.C. Supreme Court in Nanaimo after the accused was found fit to stand trial, despite remaining mute and failing to par-ticipate in proceedings.
Robert James Iverson was arrested and subsequently charged with first-degree murder of Cheryl Lynn Sim in December 2010. Despite being represented by legal counsel prior to the trial, he eventually chose to represent himself when it began last Sep-tember. He remained silent, star-ing out the window and failed to cross-examine witnesses or review any exhibits provided to him.
The trial was delayed as two fit-ness assessments were ordered by Judge Robert Punnett. The second, a 60-day assessment, saw Albert King, an experienced crimi-nal lawyer, appointed to represent Iverson. But again, the accused refused to confer, prompting Pun-nett to hold a fitness trial, where the psychiatrist who prepared the assessment was called to testify, according to Basil McCormick, Crown counsel.
Iverson was unwilling to be examined by psychiatrists during assessment but despite that, his history of substance abuse, head trauma and the possibility of bipo-lar disorder, Punnett found him fit to stand trail.
Punnett stated Iverson pre-sented an unusual case, but ruled Iverson is able to distinguish
between court proceedings and related matters outside of pro-ceedings. According to Punnett, his mutism is selective as it was noted that he would speak to peo-ple not associated with the trial, such as inmates at a correctional facility and other patients at the psychiatric hospital.
“There is no evidence to indi-cate that he is not aware of what he is charged with. There is no evidence that he does not under-stand the role of the judge, pros-ecutors or defence counsel or the amicus curiae (counsel appointed by the court to assist the court in legal matters),” said Punnett in his ruling.
“While he made a number of seemingly illogical comments dur-ing the pre-trial proceedings, he also responded to and appeared to understand the discussion about the role of, and the need for, representation.
“Nor is there evidence that he does not understand the serious nature of the proceedings or the potential outcomes.”
Punnett also stated that evi-dence indicates that Iverson inter-acts with others inside and outside the courtroom selectively, making “a choice whether to respond to others depending on the circum-stances. The evidence does not, on the balance of probabilities, establish that such choices are the product of a mental disorder or that a mental disorder is reason for his mute behaviour.”
Punnett concluded that Iverson’s muteness is more likely voluntary than a product of mental illness.
While it was unwise for Iverson not to have legal representation, legally, it does not make him unfit to stand trial, Punnett ruled.

Say cheeseEric McLean of McLean Specialty Foods on Fitzwilliam Street isn’t cutting a log – rather it is a 28-kilogram drum of unpasteurized, cloth-wrapped, farmhouse cheddar from the isle of Mull in Scotland. the cheesemaker is near a whisky distillery and feeds the cattle draff from the distillery in the winter and the cheese is said to have a slight whisky-like flavour to it because of that.

Access to dental care will get a little easier for Nanaimo’s low-income families, thanks to a funding injection by the pro-vincial government.
The B.C. Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovation announced $96,000 for dental programs that help low-income children and adults,
including $4,000 for CODE Dental Clinic in Nanaimo.
The funding is geared at helping community dental clinics deliver dental care to vulnerable populations, like chil-dren, First Nations, people with disabili-ties and the home-less.
“Maintaining dental health is so impor-tant to the overall health of children and adults alike,” said Don McRae, B.C minister of social development. “I’m really pleased we’re able to make this extra contribution
that will benefit children from low-income families who have urgent dental needs, as well as to dental clinics that provide care to Brit-ish Columbians from vulnerable popula-tions.”
Nineteen clinics received $4,000 each for a total $76,000. The remaining fund-ing will go to the B.C. Dental Associa-tion’s Save a Smile Program, which pro-vides urgent dental care to children of low-income families that aren’t covered by a public or private dental plan.
From /1In her ruling, Bruce
stated the brothers expressed remorse, owned up to the crime and were unlikely to re-offend. Neither had prior criminal convictions nor exhibited violent behaviour after the
incident. She also noted age at the time of the incident, as Timothy was 20 and Matthew, 23.
Michael Tammen, the lawyer represent-ing Matthew, said Bruce weighed all the factors, reaching a “very sound deci-sion.”
“Everybody con-ceded this was an immensely tragic case. The judge got the right balance of public interest, deterrence, denun-ciation and acknowl-edged the fact that nothing she could’ve done could’ve brought back young Mr. Brophy to his family,” Tammen said.
Members of Bro-phy’s family did not want to comment. Comer said Crown counsel preferred to wait until after Gains’s May 26 sentencing hearing before commenting, as the matter is still before the court.
The brothers and Gains were originally charged with man-slaughter, but were acquitted in 2008 after Judge Doug-las Halfyard ruled that it could not be determined who struck the fatal blow or if the three acted together.

Business opponents of Multi Material B.C. are planning a court challenge to reverse the takeover of B.C.’s curbside recycling sys-tem by the stewardship agency.
Opponents continue to urge the provincial government to freeze the new MMBC system before it takes effect May 19, but are also laying the groundwork for a legal battle.
Kelvin McCulloch, CEO of the Buckerfield’s chain of farm supply stores, is urging other businesses to sign and submit their MMBC contract, but then give notice to the government that they won’t pay fees or otherwise cooperate with the new system to collect packaging and printed paper.
McCulloch intends to gather opt-out letters from numerous busi-nesses across B.C. and deliver them to the province.
If the MMBC rollout continues, he said, they will argue in court that the MMBC contracts were invalid and they were coerced to join the government-created recy-cling monopoly.
The province contends MMBC is voluntary and various industries could instead form their own sepa-rate waste-collecting organization.
The MMBC program aims to transfer recycling costs from municipal taxpayers to the pro-ducers who generate packaging and printed paper, while collect-ing more containers and material types than before. But many busi-nesses argue they’re unfairly com-pelled to pay far higher fees than a similar system run in Ontario.
Questioned by the NDP earlier this month, Environment Minis-ter Mary Polak said she expects a more representative 15-member permanent board to be named soon after MMBC’s launch.
Pausing the program and the payment of fees by member busi-nesses would cut off the money MMBC will send to most local cit-ies that agreed to continue curb-side pickup, Polak said.

BY SUKH DHALIWALOliver Wendell Holmes Jr.,
the great American Supreme Court Justice of the early 20th century, once stated that “taxes are what we pay for a civilized society.”
Whether it is the roads we drive on, the schools we send our children to, the law enforcement that keeps our communities safe, or our universal access to health care, taxes are the lifeblood of what makes Canada the best country in the world to live.
As a former member of Parliament, who proudly served as a public servant, I understand the essential nature of what taxes can accomplish in terms of nation building.
Canada Revenue Agency statistics show there are a significant number of small-business owners who do not stay on top of their filings, and in the years I served in Ottawa, I also encountered this difficulty.
While there was absolutely no malice nor intent behind the unfiled tax returns for a company that I served as a director of, this in no way lessened my obligation to
adhere to the Income Tax Act.Last month, I appeared in
B.C. provincial court to take responsibility for this lapse and move forward. I pled to my mistake, paid the allotted fines and demonstrated that all filings are now up to date and settled.
However, as someone who served constituents for several years in my time in public life, I have asked myself whether there is some way
that the lessons I have learned through this unfortunate experience can benefit others.
First and foremost, there is no substitute
for awareness and education. I have just taken a brief introductory course offered online by the Canada Revenue Agency (www.cra-arc.gc.ca) about Canada’s tax system, responsible citizenship and the basics about income-tax returns.
This has led me to look into a wider variety of courses offered by the Chartered Professional Accountants Association (www.cpd.cica.ca/incometax.cfm).
For small-business owners, these courses are a fantastic resource, and I encourage everyone in business for
themselves to make use of them.
These are steps that I am taking not to wash away the past but rather to ensure that I build a better future in terms of my conduct. This is a process to improve myself and make sure that previous mistakes are never repeated.
I am immersing myself in the above-mentioned efforts and remain humble in my resolve to chart a new path.
In the midst of tax filing season, I cannot think of a more timely topic for discussion, and I am looking forward to continuing to participate in public dialogue on financial literacy in the months and years ahead.
My example is one that I feel many Canadians may be able to learn from.
A reliance on accountants, or income-tax software, doesn’t prevent individuals like myself from learning more about how taxation in Canada works, where exactly these taxes go, and why they are so important for the benefit of all Canadians.

It used to be that the old beer fridge, chugging away in the basement at all hours, was your home’s biggest energy hog.
And sure, if you have an old beast whir-ring and humming away, it would be wise to unplug it and save your bucks.
But there’s a new consumer of energy in your home – electronics – and you may be surprised to learn how much your cell phones, PVRs, computers and other giz-mos are costing you.
B.C. Hydro has been increasing its edu-cational programming, through its website and at trade shows, encouraging custom-ers to use less power. And one way is to properly monitor just how much your elec-tronics are driving up your smart meter.
While unplugging that old fridge can save you up to $85 a year, properly plug-ging in your gadgets has the potential to save you more than $100 a year. Just your personal video recorder alone is costing you more than your average refrigerator. B.C. Hydro suggests hooking up your televi-sion, DVD player, PVR, VCR and surround system to one power bar, and simply click-ing the entire thing off when it’s not in use.
‘Phantom load’ is upping your the cost of your hydro bill, whether you’re home or away, sleeping or awake. Standby power can increase your annual bill by as much as 10 per cent.
If hydro companies could convince every-one in Canada to reduce their products that use standby power, they could power up to 400,000 homes, and emissions reductions would be equivalent to taking a large coal-fired power generating unit offline.
All you have to do to is unplug the things you aren’t using. If we could learn as a society to turn off the lights when we leave the room, surely we can learn to click off the electronics, too.
Finally, B.C. Hydro’s green team sug-gests reading a book, and going for a bike ride instead of watching TV at all – the ulti-mate unplugged experience.
To save power, get unplugged

GUEST COMMENT
To the Editor,Re: Colliery dam
investigation ends in May, April 1.
I am now even more fuming espe-cially when $1.8 million of taxpayer dollars in Nanaimo is yet again being squandered, and for what? A century-old dam that is continu-ing to stand the tests of time, but yet for some very mysterious reason, the powers at large regard the ultimate removal of the Col-liery dams as being the top priority. They are actually willing to spend excessive amounts of tax dollars and use spin doctors to prove their so-called legitimate case for it.
It does not have to take one of the greatest TV or film investigators to solve this particu-lar intriguing case, just Mike Holmes. He would most defi-nitely recommend a lot of changes.
Unless the pow-ers at large get their collective acts together and stop the continuing leaks of tax dollars for Nanaimo’s dam, it will run dry, which will not be a fun time for everybody.

To the Editor,Re: Refined oil safer for
B.C.’s coast, Opinion, April 22.
I agree that refined oil would be somewhat safer to ship in tankers. Refining bitumen in B.C.would pro-vide jobs and revenue for us, which the present plan does not. The present plan imposes all the risks and none of the benefits to Brit-ish Columbians.
Two concerns perturb me, however. First, we still need to get the diluted bitumen, which is every bit as toxic and destructive as Mr. Black describes, over all those mountains and rivers where a leak could be devastating to fish and wildlife and very challeng-ing or probably impossible to clean up.
Second, we must turn down the heat. The Inter-
national Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which are objective, international bodies, have all sounded this alarm. We must stop burning fossil fuels.
Building the pipelines is an expensive undertak-ing. Once they’re built, the investors will demand they be filled with toxic diluted bitumen to make them pay.
We’ll be more locked in to burning fossil fuels than ever. I’ve wondered why the Albertans don’t refine their own dirty bitumen. It would create thousands of jobs. And, as Mr. Black says, it would be less toxic than dilbit. I want so much to burn a green fuel in my hybrid. Why can’t I have that choice?

To the Editor,Re: Save the world this
Earth Day, Editorial, April 22.Nice editorial about a wor-
thy concept.My wife and I have a gar-
den box in the community garden at the corner of Turner Road and the Island Highway. We went there on one of our regular visits on a sunny April 22.
The vehicles go through the adjacent intersection endlessly, only stopping for a red light.
We cut some grass, pulled some weeds and did a little tidy up in the garden area.
And the vehicles kept roll-ing by.
We put out some bird
seed and checked the new growth of the flowers and veggies. We checked the hoses and the irrigation.
The vehicles kept right on passing by. Nobody turned in and stopped to look around. No visitors.
It was only later that we realized that this was an official day to be friendly to Earth. I guess nobody read your editorial. Or nobody took it seriously.
But we noticed plenty of trucks with gardening equipment in the back. Hire a gardener to touch the earth for us – now there’s a plan.

To the Editor,Since Nanaimo residents
are by now fully versatile in separating food waste from trash, and recyclables from glass, plastic or Styrofoam, the blue bag/containers should not be eliminated as planned. Rather, blue con-tainers should be re-used to accept at curbside glass containers and plastic mate-rials and ship them to Multi Material B.C. drop-off sites. The new, blue scheduled pickups could be made at intervals that coincide with other regular pickups. This will save the city a bundle on collection cost. Everyone else that would otherwise
need to drive to one of MMBC drop-off locations and waste gasoline and time, would benefit as well.
To transport individually boxes of Styrofoam, bottles, pickle or jam jars to speci-fied MMBC drop-off loca-tions is not an environmen-tally friendly solution. Given that MMBC is a non-profit corporation there should be no objections to co-operate with the citizens.
Do not eliminate blue box. This is an opportunity to expend and actuality get some benefit from residen-tial recycling by MMBC.
Zlatko ZvekicNanaimo
To the Editor,I cannot believe that the
worst item that pollutes, plastic bags, are not to be included in our roadside pickup.
A lot of people will not drive out of their way to go to one of the drop-off cen-ters. They’ll find it easier to just stick them in their garbage can. Even using my cloth bags, I still end up with too much plastic.
Let’s use the blue bags for plastic bags only – we already have them in use now but won’t need them after May 19.

10 Nanaimo News Bulletin Tuesday, April 29, 2014 LETTERS www.nanaimobulletin.com
To the Editor,After reading the draft of
the new City of Nanaimo Governance Framework Roles and Responsibilities, it makes one wonder why we have a council at all? It states “the councillor role is a governance role, distinct from the management role. Council does not involve itself in the management or operational work of the city unless there is a direct linkage to the strategic level decisions of council. Council involvement in the operational or management work of the city should be rare and exceptional.”
It also states that basically if an individual councillor wants to talk to staff for more than 30 minutes, it requires permission from the city manager.
In all companies that I know the bosses talk to the staff for as long and as often as the bosses feel is needed. The boss is the one in
charge and responsible for the results, not the employ-ees under them.
If work is only important if all of council agrees, then is it not important if one coun-cillor disagrees? If individ-ual councillors asking ques-tions is a waste of city staff resources maybe we should not have any councillors and just have a mayor to approve the wishes of the city manager, period. This would save tax dollars and staff would not be bothered by individual councillors for 30 minutes a week.

To the Editor,Imagine our disappoint-
ment when, after registering my 12-year-old daughter in a free drop-in gym program at the Oliver Woods Community Centre, we discovered only one other person in atten-dance. In a city with 6,400 youths aged 12-18, there have only been 30 registered par-ticipants since September.
Are youths really too busy with more serious pursuits or with managing their online life to take part in unpres-sured activities? Do our com-munity values only embrace highly structured competitive sports?
I’m not dismissing com-petitive sports. I’m merely questioning why sports for recreation and socialization is not valued in Nanaimo.
Here is hoping youths don’t waste their youth waiting for the next ‘like’ or being fixated on gaming.

BY NICHOLAS PESCODTHE NEWS BULLETIN
It wasn’t too long ago that singer/songwriter Victor Anthony was wandering around Gabriola Island
when a couple of people asked him when his next live perfor-mance was going to be.
Anthony, who hasn’t per-formed as a solo artist for nearly two years, thought it over.
“I went home and told my wife about it,” Anthony said. “She said ‘well that’s a sign.’”
On Friday (May 2), Anthony will be performing a solo set of acoustic blues at the Gabriola Theatre Centre.
“I usually do my gigs with some sort of little theme, and I hadn’t done a blues thing in a quite a good long while, so I’mma do that this time,” Anthony said.
Anthony was born and raised in Tennessee. For years he performed under the name Victor Mecyssne, but decided to take his wife’s last name [Anthony] when they married, and released three albums, Skinnybones, Hush Money and Personal Mercury, to the now-defunct Sweetfish Records.
He’s currently working on his fourth, fifth and sixth albums and said he’s in no rush to complete them.
“I don’t know when they will see print,” Anthony said. “I started back in the fall doing a songwriter record and I am doing a five-song EP record of novelty songs. Just as soon as those are finished I am going to do a record of traditional stuff, mountain music kind of thing.”
In 2007, Anthony and his wife made the nearly 4,500 kilometre move from Cumber-land County, Tenn., to Gab-riola Island. A big reason for the move was largely due to the couple’s strong desire to experience life outside of the Volunteer State and the United States.
“My wife’s parents are from Portland, Ore., so we wanted to be within in striking dis-tance of them. So that meant the West Coast of Canada and being a Southern boy, that kind of ruled out the rest of country because of the temperature issue,” Anthony said.
When it came time for the Anthonys to look at places in British Columbia, they searched for a place where they could have a real sense of community.
“That’s kind of why we ended up settling on an island because figured we’d get it [community] and sure enough we have,” Anthony said. “That was really important to us.
The smaller the place, the bet-ter the community usually is. That’s worked out real well for us.”
After seven years of living in B.C, the Anthonys have adjusted to island life just fine and while Anthony doesn’t miss the humidity that Tennes-see frequently experiences or the politics, he does miss the thriving music scene for which Nashville is best known.
“I do miss the music. I was kind of right in the middle of amazing stuff all the time. Certainly in Nashville. Nash-ville is way hipper than the world knows it. People think Nashville and they think big cowboy hats and belt buck-les, but man oh man there is an incredible scene going on there. Jazz, blues, you name it. It’s to musicians what New York is to actors,” Anthony said. “I’ve certainly got people to play with up here. I’ve met great musicians since I’ve been here, even here on the island. This island is pretty rich ... but it is not quite like where I came from.”
Anthony said that the musi-cal community on Vancouver Island is equally as supportive as the community found in Nashville.
“It is very supportive and non-competitive and actually that is kind of the way Nash-ville is, or at least that is the way I found it to be when I was there. I really wasn’t expect-ing that. I sort of thought that Nashville would be more competitive and cutthroat but it really is not. At least not in the circles I was in and that is exactly the way it is here,” Anthony said.
In a couple of months, the Anthonys are due to officially become Canadian citizens.
“We get to come over to Nanaimo and take the oath and sing the national anthem,” Anthony said. “It’s a big deal to us.”
The Gabriola Island Theatre Centre is located at 1475 Peter-son Rd. Doors open at 7:30 p.m., with the show beginning at 8 p.m. Tickets are available by calling 250-247-7412.

Combination Skin -Try these products
Considering over 65% of women have combination skin, Avene has a different skin care program: Sensitive Combination Skin.The line consists of two products that address the issues of combination skin; the need to regulate the production of sebum (oil), the need to mattify (reduce shiny areas), and the need to hydrate to keep the skin supple, especially the dry areas of the skin.The Cleansing Foam gently cleanses the skin and removes all traces of face and eye makeup. This cleanser provides a feeling of freshness and cleanlinessThe Mattifying Fluid is a gel texture that serves as an excellent makeup base and mattifies and moisturizes combination skin leaving it soft and fresh feeling.A perfect complement to these products is Micellar Lotion to be used after the cleanser and to prepare the skin for the application of the moisturizer.When I get customers to try micellar, they often come back and say “You were right, once you use it, you won’t be without it!”For a limited time we have a double-sized micellar (400 mL) for the price of the 200 mL.Christine and Beryl are only too happy to assist you with your skincare and makeup needs.When purchasing anything mention in the column, you will receive double beauty club stamps.

Symphony serves up multi-layered concertNanaimo’s got talent – gas-
tronomical and otherwise.There’s the Nanaimo bar,
famous dessert known around the world, and now there’s the Nanaimo Bar None – a delicious family event on Saturday (May 3) at 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., at the Port Theatre.
The ingredients: supreme, scrumptious up-and-coming and world-class Nanaimo tal-ent – 170-plus award-winning performers, all in one show.
This blockbuster event, presented by the Vancou-ver Island Symphony, will appeal to all ages and all senses – with the rhythmic, smooth sounds of musicians and singers, to the sights of dancers, lights, colour, sets, costumes and action, and to the mouth-watering taste
and smell of real Nanaimo bars – plus special choco-lates and Nanaimo bar ice-cream available at intermis-sion by donation.
Add feelings of joy, cel-ebration, laughter, wonder, rapture and pride and you have a totally delectable event.
“I’m really excited about the different art forms resembling the layers of the Nanaimo bar – from jazz bands and a string quartet, to piano, violin and guitar soloists, singers, dancers, and Nanaimo’s Poet Laure-ate, Naomi Wakan,” said Cal-vin Dyck, producer, director and violinist. “It’s the fabric of Nanaimo life.”
The concert combines the 50-plus member VIS Fabu-lous Fives choir led by Patri-
cia Plumley, the Wellington Jazz Band conducted by Car-mella Luvisotto, and pianist Devon Joiner flying in from New York to tickle the ivo-ries. Add a cup of Kirkwood Academy Dance, composer and pianist Sarah Wood, and Eric Harper on guitar and mix well.
Blend in the Nico Rhodes jazz trio, dancer Holly Bright of Crimson Coast Dance Society, Andrew Clark on French horn, and the Sym-phonic Choir.
Topping it all off is a sur-prise that the symphony won’t reveal until the con-cert.
Tickets $22-46; $15-20/students. Please call 250-754-8550 or visit www.port-theatre.com for more infor-mation.

It was an idea that was cooked up in the kitchen. Terry Anderson along with Bryan Baker and their friend were sitting around the kitchen table discussing music and various metal bands. That’s when Baker proclaimed how won-derful it would be to “quit their jobs and start a metal band.”
It wasn’t long after that Ander-son and Baker formed Tribune, a progressive-metal band based out of Vancouver.
On Saturday (May 3), Tribune will be performing in Nanaimo at the Cambie.
Tribune was formed back in 2004 and is currently features Ander-son, Baker, along with Shawn Cul-ley and Jason Brown.
Over the last decade, Tribune has released four albums, with Elder Lore/The Dark Arts and Talesreleased last October.
Anderson said that over the years the band has explored vari-ous directions within the metal
genre, such as playing faster and focusing on guitar harmonies.
“Sound-wise I would say we’ve really developed the guitar harmo-nies. There are a lot more dynamic parts than in previous albums,” Anderson said. “Musically, we are experimenting and going in all different directions. I know some bands want to go extreme and play as fast as possible, but we we’re always trying to touch on as many elements as much as pos-sible without making it too weird.”
While the metal genre is often ignored by the majority of main-stream radio stations, Anderson said that since the social media revolution has given the genre an opportunity to reach new audi-ences and thrive.
“Heavy metal is a hard nut to crack,” he said. “It’s hard to get people into it. I think it’s because when people are teenagers, or when they’re learning what they like to listen to, they’ll get into metal, but if we didn’t have the Internet to make it so easily avail-able for them, by the time they’re old enough to get into bars they’ll have been listening to whatever is on the radio or TV. So [the Inter-net] is definitely making the metal scene more accessible to people.”

McKinnon, Jean Paul(nee Cook)
December 23, 1927 - April 19, 2014Jean passed away peacefully at Stanford Place Care Campus in Parksville on Saturday where she has been lovingly cared for since this past February.
She was predeceased by her parents Jane(Jean) and James Cook and her sister Ellen. She is survived by her husband of 64 years, James, son James (Faye), daughter Lynn(James)Barnstead, grandson Chad in Vancouver BC, grandaughter Rebecca (Richard) Hastings in Inverness Scotland, and three very special Great grandchildren, Sienna, Cruz & Rio.
Jean was born in Nanaimo, and in her youth was a talented singer. She sang at many weddings and special occasions in the area. Jean and Jim were married on June 17,1950 and built their family home in Harewood. She was a member of the Ladies Auxiliary to the Harewood Volunteer Fire Dept. and helped with many Christmas parties and wedding showers. She loved organizing events in the neighbourhood whether it was Guy Fox night bonfires or Christmas cookie decorating in her dining room. Everyone was always welcome in her home and there was always an extra chair at the dinner table for anyone who wanted to stay for a meal. In the early 70’s the family moved to Cassidys’ Sunny Slope Mobile Home Park where Jim & Jean lived till 2012 becoming part of a tight knit community with caring neighbours.
Jean worked most of her life beginning at the Malpass grocery store, David Spencers department store and then many years at Eatons. Her last job was working as a cashier at the then, Malaspina College where she met many special student friends from around the world.
Mom & Dad spent many happy summers camping and boating around Vancouver Island with the YO YO Club, snowbirding to Yuma Arizona for winters and loved touring relatives from the UK around BC. She loved her whole family and kept in touch with all her cousins, nieces and nephews through the years.
“We Love You Gramma Mac”
A celebration of life will be held at Jeans’ daughters’ home at 7002 Aulds Rd, Lantzville on Saturday May 3,2014 from 2-4pm.
Flowers are politely declined, a donation may be made in Jean’s name to the Heart & Stroke Fund or the CNIB.
David Grant
ConroyAugust 5, 1955~ April 18, 2014
Grant (David) passed away, age 58, during his sleep and after a very lengthy diffi cult struggle with cancer of the lung. He was born in Nanaimo, BC and following his schooling here he moved to reside and work in Edmonton, Alberta, later to California USA before returning to his home town here again in January 2013. Grant is predeceased by his father, Thomas Conroy, in April of 2001.
He is survived by his loving mother, Margaret Conroy and his brother Glen Conroy, of Nanaimo, and by his uncle Alan Bull, Windsor, Ontario. His many nieces and a nephew and cousins are also left to mourn his death as well as his friends. We will really miss his generosity and caring spirit and his humour. We wish to express much gratitude for the care which Grant received while in the Palliative Care Unit of the Nanaimo Regional General Hospital and from the staff of the 4th fl oor of Kiwanis Village Lodge where he spent the last weeks of his life.
A Private Celebration of Life will be held at a later date with his minister The Rev. Bert Ramsey of St. Andrew’s United Church. Condolences may be offered to the family at [email protected]
“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes: there shall be no more death, neither
sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there by any more pain: for the former things has passed away. And He that set upon the throne said,
Behold, I make all things new.”– Rev 21:4-5
Telford’s of Nanaimo250-591-6644
Toby (Glen) Brown August 9, 1923~April 18, 2014.
After over 90 years of enjoying life, Toby, a WWII veteran, passed away peacefully in Nanaimo with his family by his side April 18, 2014. Toby will be greatly missed by all those who knew him but especially by his wife of 67 years, Joan; Son Jack (Yvonne), Daughter Nancy Stern (Harvey); Grandchildren Wayne (Tanya), David, Darren (Michelle), Meagan (Billy); and many precious Great Grandchildren. The special times we’ve had together will forever live in our hearts.Toby was born in Brandon, Manitoba, the baby of nine children. He enlisted with the Navy in 1942 and was on the North Atlantic run. After the war, Toby took up his favourite sport, hockey. He played semi-pro with the Regina Caps, Los Angeles Monarchs, Kamloops Elks and New York Rovers before moving with his wife Joan to Victoria, B.C. He worked at Canadian Stevedoring and was transferred to Nanaimo in 1961. Toby enjoyed golf, curling, salmon fishing and after retiring, he and Joan enjoyed many winters in Mesa, Arizona and amazing cruises. Toby’s life was exciting, rich and full of wonderful family and friends. We would like to thank the staff and Hospice volunteers at the Palliative Care Unit and his Legion buddies who made his final days peaceful.There is no service as per request, but we encourage you to celebrate your time with & memories of Toby in your own special way. Donations in Toby’s memory can
be made to the Nanaimo Hospital Foundation.

Grand slam isn’t enough as Pirates get outscored
BY GREG SAKAKITHE NEWS BULLETIN
The Nanaimo Pirates swung for the fences and it got them back in the game, but that was all.
The Hub City Paving Pirates won two and then lost two this past weekend at Serauxmen Stadium in B.C. Premier Baseball League action. The Pirates swept the Coquitlam Reds by scores of 1-0 and 5-1 on Saturday, but then fell to the North Shore Twins the next day, 5-4 and 11-7.
The weekend finale was a game of ups and downs for the home team. The Pirates fell behind 5-0 after three innings but didn’t quit, loading the bases. Zach Diewert came to the plate with two outs and hit a grand slam over the left-field fence, and Nanaimo added one more run that inning, too, to tie it at 5-5 before getting outscored the rest of the way.
“I did like our com-pete level,” said Doug Rogers, Pirates man-ager. “We didn’t give
up. Typical Nanaimo baseball – we seem to always come back in situations.”
That ’s emerg ing as a trait in the 2014 Pirates, just as it has been in recent years.
“It’s always been like that, really,” said Diew-ert. “This team never gives up. We hate los-ing. That’s one thing I love most about this team.”
In the earlier game that day, the Pirates had a 3-1 lead but hurt themselves with some errors.
“If we come out and really harness that game and play defen-sive baseball, we win that game; we win the weekend,” said Rogers.
The manager said players need to learn how to give themselves advantages in games through smart base-ball.
“The coaches have a lot of work to do in teaching them the game,” he said. “Not just how to swing a bat and how to throw a baseball. There’s a lot more to the game than that.”
Acme Timbermen off to fast start
BY GREG SAKAKITHE NEWS BULLETIN
The Nanaimo Acme Timber-men found their lacrosse legs and earned a win, too.
The senior B Acme Painting Tim-bermen won their season opener Saturday, defeat-ing the Royal City Capitals 12-4 at the Nanaimo Ice Centre.
“Really good,” said Shawn Swan-son, the team’s general manager. “I was quite sur-prised. There was a little worry going in because we had so many rookies playing, but they all played really well.”
The Caps didn’t come over to the Island with a full roster, and the T-men took advan-tage, establishing the pace and run-ning the floor in transition.
“I thought our offence was really crisp for the first game of the year. Defensively we had a few breakdowns; luckily [goalie] Nick Patterson was having a really good game. And our transition was pretty good. We had lots of break-aways and two-on-ones.”
Swanson said the
energy of opening night was one of the reasons for his team’s success and said the contest resembled a mid-season game.
“Obviously it wasn’t up against top talent and a full
team, but I liked what I saw,” he said.
The Timbermen led 6-0 after one period and 12-1 after 40 minutes before easing up over the final frame.
Steve Higgs led Nanaimo’s offence with four goals and Ryan Forslund, Ryan Clark and Rick Fields had two goals apiece. Other scorers were Drew Miles and Cody Keating.
Things will get tougher for the T-men now. They play two more home games this coming weekend, hosting the Ladner Pioneers on Satur-day (May 3) and the Langley War-riors on Sunday.
“We’ll go into practice with a jump in our step knowing we got the win that we needed to get, and now we just have to work and look ahead at Ladner,” Swanson said.
The Pioneers are the No. 1 rivals of the Timber-men and games between the two teams are always competitive.
Ladner hasn’t started its season yet and Nanaimo doesn’t know what sort of roster to anticipate, but Swanson noted that the Pioneers “come from a little lacrosse hotbed” and should come ready to compete.
“It’s always really good lacrosse –rough, tough, lots of little skir-mishes,” he said. “We really get up to play them.”
GAME ON … The Timbermen and the Pioneers play Saturday at 6 p.m. at the Nanaimo Ice Centre. Sunday’s game against the Warriors is a 5 p.m. faceoff at the NIC. Admission to Timbermen home games is [email protected]

Clippers sign junior B D-man
A well-rounded defenceman will make the jump from the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League to the B.C. Hockey League.
The Nanaimo Clippers announced last week that they have signed Sean Buchanan from the Peninsula Panthers.
The 6-foot-3, 200 pounder from Victoria scored 14 goals and 30 points and had 107 penalty minutes in 43 games in 2013-14.
“He is a big, strong defenceman with a bright future…” said Mike Vandekamp, Clippers general manager, in a press release. “We expect Sean to be a good all-around defenceman who will add some offensive punch to our defence corps.”

Eight-year-old Sebastian Sulyok is the only Canadian invited to participate in the KTM Junior Supercross Challenge this Saturday (May 3) in Las Vegas.
BY GREG SAKAKIThe News BulleTiN
An eight-year-old Nanaimo motocross rider and his family will cross the U.S.
border this week, en route to a major race in Las Vegas.
Sebastian Sulyok will have his KTM SXS 50cc and all his gear. He’ll also have, hidden, a secret weapon that customs probably won’t find – a little bit of dirt from the Wastelands Motocross Park in Nanaimo.
Sulyok has raced all over Western Canada, but the dirt he’s most familiar with is the muck of the Wastelands. Racers who can thrive in the mountain’s mud are going to be well-practised and ready for anything that the sport of motocross throws at them.
“It’s a big, gnarly, open motocross track,” said Steve Sulyok, Seby’s father. “We’re blessed to have this here.”
His son has been riding for just three years after first see-ing mini dirt bike racing at Wastelands.
“What are those?” he asked his dad.
Steve looked into it and the family bought Sebastian a bike for his fifth birthday.
Was there any hesitation
to let a five-year-old get into extreme sports?
“Love is blind, brother,” Steve replied.
Sebastian has thrived on the track. He races on the Van-couver Island circuit, where he placed second last season, and also on the FuturesWest Canadian Arenacross Champi-onships series, where he came third. The trophies don’t mat-ter to him, Seby said. It’s fun to win, but that’s not neces-sarily what the sport is about at this level.
“I think it’s the camaraderie,” said Steve. “There’s the rac-ing, but there’s such a social dynamic amongst the families and amongst the racers.”
It’s interesting, he said – the youngsters will tear around the track, competing like gladi-ators. Then afterward they’ll be kids again, and friends, and relive wins and losses with little motocross toys.
So there’s a team aspect to the individual sport of moto-cross. That team spirit is also evident leading up to the races, as Steve and Seby’s sis-ter Jasmine co-operate to run through the pre-race checklist of hydration, nutrition, fuel, gear and high-fives.
This coming Saturday (May
3) is the biggest race yet for Sebastian. He’s the only Cana-dian rider who was invited to compete at the KTM Junior Supercross challenge in Vegas, and it will be like nothing he’s experienced to date. In recent weeks, Steve has been helping his son with race visualiza-tion.
“We’ve shown him the video, we’ve done the surround sound,” said Steve. “‘OK, my friend, this is what you’re going to see: the fireworks, the big screens, your name on the screen. This is it. Remember to breathe, take it in; you’re allowed to be nervous.’”
Sebastian took time off from classes at Woodbank Primary School to practise. He’s got plenty of experience, support from family, cheers from well-wishers. And some Wastelands dirt to make the Las Vegas track a little more like home.
In his biggest race yet, he might earn a win. No matter what, he’ll gain something.
“We’re trying to build life les-sons,” Steve said. “We’re build-ing good, productive members of society that understand that in order to get to a goal, there’s a lot of hard work.”

S tudents at Depar-ture Bay Elemen-tary School are in
the process of getting an environmental club off the ground.
Initiated last Novem-ber, the Departure Bay Elementary School Eco-Club seeks to promote green initiatives to the student body and the overall aim is to become an eco-school. It is a cause that many students are eager to join and the response has been amazing, according to principal Lisa Frey.
When the eco-club idea was pitched to the
students, 50 joined out of a student population of about 180 and the numbers continue to grow.
The club is also com-ing up with a number initiatives.
“We have a program we’re involved in right now called Destination Conservation,” Frey said. “So we’re working really hard to do things around our school to learn about sustain-ability and how to have a sustainable school, which I know spills over into their homes. They’ve been really interested in that.”
The school has even started up the green bin food scraps collection program at the school.
“We’ve done quite a few projects,” said stu-dent Cassidy Sharman. “We planted plants in pop bottles for Earth
Day and we did Trash to Treasure. The [Grade] 6/7 students cleaned up Departure Bay beach and we made sculptures and stuff out of the garbage we collected [and] recycled materials and we had a big art gallery walk.”
Sharman said the club is also working toward an “hour of no power,” where the school will turn off all its lights and computers in order to determine how much power is saved.
“We want to keep the environment clean and healthy so we have a place to live and our animals still have a place to live and keep the Earth safe so we still have the proper oxygen and clean air we need to breathe,” said Sharman.

Club aims to teach students about environmentCommission reduces fees
B.C. Hydro customers who refuse to part with their mechanical power meters will continue to pay $32.40 a month for manual meter readings, with a refund on the balance of the $35 they’ve been paying since December.
The B.C. Utilities Commission ruled on B.C. Hydro’s smart meter opt-out fees Friday, after an order from the B.C. government required the regulator to approve fees covering all of B.C. Hydro’s costs.
A $20-a-month charge will continue for customers who accept a digital meter with the radio transmission function turned off. The commission cut the one-time fee for disabling the meter radio to $22.60, below Hydro’s proposed $100.
The commission also reduced fees for customers who move and request a radio-off meter at their new address.

With the assistance of non-profit electronic recycling program Elec-troRecycle, students from Departure Bay Elementary School’s Eco-Club raised money for school environmental initiatives at the Regional Recycling Nanaimo Saturday.

ISCHOOL TRIES to stress green initiatives.
The idea of obtain-ing energy from gar-bage is an enticing one, not only because it makes the garbage problem ‘disappear,’ but it also provides some jobs and a local supply of electricity.
While Nanaimo city coun-cil recently sent a shot across the bow of Metro Vancou-ver’s plans to have us burn their garbage, we could still end up having their, or our own, incinerator. The regional districts of Nanaimo, Cowichan and Victoria began considering inciner-ating our garbage in 2008.
Certainly incin-eration is superior to landfilling, by most standards. It provides electricity (and heat, if wished), greatly reduces the far more dangerous climate-altering methane gas, and new sites don’t
have to be created every few decades.
But there is another side to this story. Apart from danger-ous emissions (which can never be fully prevented), incinera-tion is actually a net energy waster. The energy captured by an incinerator is nowhere close to the amount of energy
imbedded in the fuels used.
The most extreme example is glass: it requires a tre-mendous amount of energy to create glass, but
it renders no energy when it is inciner-ated. At the other end of the scale, paper obviously burns well. Even so, the amount of energy invested into that paper by the sun, soil and manufacturing processes (not to mention transporta-tion) is many times that produced when the paper is burned. Only the solar com-ponent contains renewable energy.
In actuality, burn-ing garbage is a net
energy waster, even if all of the recover-able heat produced is used.
The greatest dif-ficulty in burning garbage is that it destroys the resources used to produce those now-discarded items. These resources will never be recovered from the air, water and soil. It means we have to spend increasing amounts of energy mining and fertilizing the raw materials, many of which are in limited quantities. This will leave future genera-tions without many of the raw materials required to live a modern life.
The answers? Con-sume less, package better, and separate the various types of products in our homes and busi-nesses so that they can more easily be reused, re-purposed, recycled, remanufac-tured and compos-ted. Did you know that more gold is recovered from waste than is mined?
This approach better utilizes the waste’s embedded energy, creates many times as many jobs, improves the air, water and soil qual-ity, and saves the mayor and council from being bom-barded by thousands of e-mails, letters and presentations – itself a considerable saver of energy.
