What was once known as the ‘BarneyBuilding’ downtown got a facelift overthe weekend courtesy of the Young Pro-
fessionals of Nanaimo.Volunteers gave the building a fresh coat of
paint with the objective of beautifying the neigh-bourhood.
The building, located on prime real estate atCommercial Street and Terminal Avenue, hasbeen vacant for four years – Canadian electron-ics retailer A&B Sound closed the location inJuly 2008 – and it is listed for lease.
Braden Wheatcroft, YPN membership directorand project co-ordinator, said the purple paintjob was looking tired.
“It’s a building that is really holding back thedowntown from being revitalized,” he said. “It’ssomething we’ve been talking about for morethan a year now. We just want to make sure itlooks its best for passersby.
“The downtown area is something our mem-bers are passionate about.”
He said three weeks ago, the organizationreceived permission from the building’s ownerto do the project, at which time the group scram-bled to secure donations of paint and other sup-plies from various local companies and recruitvolunteers to help out.
About 60 people, mainly Young Professionalsmembers, showed up to paint the building onFriday and Saturday, finishing a day ahead ofschedule.

Months of hard work resulted in a morning of celebration Sunday during the CIBC Run for the Cure.
Close to 1,000 participants ran or walked the one- or five-kilometre routes through BebanPark in support of the Cana-dian Breast Cancer Foundation.
One of 59 runs across Canada, the Nanaimo event raised morethan $165,000, adding to the $30-million total countrywide.
“It was an amazing day. Wehad close to 200 people register the day of the run and we’venever had that before,” saidRuth Christmas, Nanaimo
volunteer run co-coordinator. “There were certainly a fewmoments emotionally, but ulti-mately, people were there tocelebrate with the survivorsand celebrate the lives of thosethey lost.”
One of the more touching moments came when partici-pants added personal messagesto the Wall of Hope.
“In Nanaimo, we’ve chosen to
bring back the walls from the last nine years so people can see what they’re written in the past,” said Christmas. “That’salso a very emotional moment.”
The run takes a tremendous amount of planning over the year and Christmas had high praise for the close to 70 volun-teers who gave of their time to make the event a success.
“It’s a volunteer-led event with commitments needed from March into November andthere’s no way it could be done without their help,” she said.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and dona-tions can be made until Oct. 31at www.runforthecure.com.

BY TOBY GORMANTHE NEWS BULLETIN
British Columbia’s ombud-sperson has issued a report addressing openness and transparency aimed at munici-palities, regional districts andIslands Trust.
Kim Carter released herreport titled Open Meetings: Best Practices Guide for Local Governments last week.
The report outlines respon-sibilities in the CommunityCharter for local government bodies, and provides a check-list for councils and boardsto follow to ensure in camera meetings are held for the rightreasons and proper proceduresare followed.
Though Carter notes in the report that many local govern-ment bodies are moving toward improved transparency, theguide will help elected officials comply with statutory require-ments, improve consistency inpractice and foster trust andconfidence in the decision-making process.
“One of the cornerstones ofopen and transparent govern-ment in British Columbia isthe requirement for local gov-ernment to conduct meetings that are open and accessible tothe public,” said Carter.
The office of the Ombud-sperson receives inquiries andcomplaints about the practices and services of public agencies within its jurisdiction. The office has been investigating complaints about local govern-ments since 1993.
In its recently implemented corporate strategic plan, the city’s first, Nanaimo names transparency and responsibil-ity as one of its strategic pri-orities.
Part of that strategy, saidNanaimo Mayor John Ruttan,
includes the hiring of PhilipCooper, the city’s first commu-nications manager. Cooper ischarged with the task of devel-oping a communications policy and strategy and presenting itto city council.
“We’ve always supported being open and transparentwherever we can be within thelimitations of what we are dis-cussing and we will continueto do that,” said Ruttan. “Wecan always do a better job ofkeeping everybody up to date,but of course that reflects backon (Cooper) and hopefully he’sgoing to be able to recommenda more timely release of infor-mation than we’ve been givingand we hope that is somethingthe public will appreciate.”
Ruttan noted, however, thatsome subjects, often referred toas the three L’s – land, legal andlabour – require confidentialdiscussion to protect personalprivacy, legal requirementsand property transactions.
“That won’t change, it’s underthe Community Charter,” hesaid. “It would be very difficultfor any municipality to func-tion if that did change.”
In her concluding statements of the report, Carter states thatthe goal was to assist local gov-ernments in following appro-priate protocol in the specificand limited circumstances when council believes it is nec-essary to close a meeting.
“Local governments acrossCanada are moving towardsmore open and transpar-ent decision-making,” wroteCar ter. “Open meetings advance the democratic pro-cess by providing the publicwith an understanding of the considerations underlyinglocal government actions andby allowing members of thepublic to observe the perfor-mance of their elected offi-cials.”

Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources is advis-ing the public to use cautionwhen using the Nanaimo Riverthis week due to increasedwater flows.
Beginning Oct. 1, the City ofNanaimo and Harmac Pacific will be releasing more waterfrom two reservoirs to improve
fish access through the rapids into the Nanaimo Lakes spawn-ing areas.
People using the river – espe-cially boaters and swimmers – are advised to use extra cau-tion. Increased flows combinedwith storms can create strong currents and undertows. Waterlevels at and near the Highway
19 bridge are expected to rise by about one-third of a metre andwill last a few days.
Water release dates vary each year depending on the number of fish entering the river andriver flows resulting from rain.
Present river flows areslightly below average for this time of year.

News Bulletin seeks reader feedback
BY TOBY GORMANTHE NEWS BULLETIN
Nanaimo residents have iden-tified hundreds of tourismopportunities, now it’s up to the Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation to determine which ones should be pursued.
The feedback will be consid-ered by NEDC’s Tourism Lead-ership Committee, in partner-ship with Chemistry Consulting Group, during a three-year stra-tegic plan to enhance the region’s tourism product.
During a recent survey, 110 res-idents and tourism stakeholders offered ideas like developing new products and attractions, creat-ing more festivals and events, building new tourism infrastruc-ture, and implementing new or different marketing and public relations programs.
Nanaimo’s tourism strengths,according to survey responses,include marine resources, heri-tage, environmental splendour,central location, our many parksand trails, outdoor activities and
cultural assets.Dan Brady, chairman of the
Tourism Leadership Committee,said the volume of responses suggests residents are engaged in the process.
“The research clearly showsour residents share the tour-ism industry’s passion for ourregion,” said Brady.
The survey also revealed a vari-ety of potential challenges facing Nanaimo on the tourism front, including the area’s past repu-tation and lack of attractions. Transportation costs were also identified as a negative.
Information was also gatheredthrough interviews, phone calls,e-mails and media responses.
As part of the next step in theprocess, NEDC and the leader-ship committee will consider allof the input received and drafta list of priority tourism initia-tives that can be implemented or initiated within the next two or three years.
The community will have an opportunity to review and com-ment on the selections at three open houses scheduled for Nov. 14-15 in north Nanaimo, southNanaimo and Gabriola Island.
A final report will be releasedtowards the end of the year.

◆ From /1Karly Parker of Kal-
los Interior Design said the colours – a grey with dark brown awning – were pickedto complement thenearby buildings.
Brad Bailey, an agentfor Colliers Interna-tional, which has thelisting, said the newpaint job looks good,but he’s not sure how much it would improve prospects for finding a new ten-ant because major upgrades are neededto the interior of the building.
“It would have to bea substantial tenant,”he said. “I think thatthe whole idea is that the building has toeventually give way to a new one.”
In July, Steiner Prop-erties Ltd. asset man-ager Chelsea Harding told the News Bul-letin the company’sNanaimo property is on the back burnerwhile it deals with other properties and it is becoming more apparent the building will likely have to bedemolished.
Wheatcroft said even if the owners decideto tear the building down, the paint jobmakes it look good in the meantime.
Corry Hostetter, gen-eral manager of theDowntown Nanaimo BIA, said the YPNproject will hopefullyencourage other prop-erties in the area to dorestoration work.
“We really appreci-ate the enthusiasmand the energy thatthe YPN are showing in our community,”she said.

Nanaimo school offi-cials are hosting one last round of public
consultation meetingsbefore staff sit down and begin writing thedistrict’s strategicplan.
The meetings take
place Oct. 9 and 11starting at 6:30 p.m. atvarious school sites. On Tuesday (Oct. 9),meetings take placeat Wellington, John Barsby, Dover Bay and Ladysmith secondaryschools.
The Thursday (Oct.11) meetings are atNanaimo District,
Cedar and Woodlandssecondary schoolsand Departure BayElementary School.
Last spring, trustees and staff held meet-ings at every school to discuss what people ineach school commu-nity thought was work-ing and what areas the district should focuson to improve studentlearning. The district also hosted several public meetings not connected with a par-ticular school.
The input gathered at these meetingsand through the dis-trict’s online survey – almost 6,000 sugges-tions – has now been grouped into themesand staff want to getthe public’s input on these themes, said Donna Reimer, district spokeswoman.
“It’s the final stage before the plan isdrafted and writ-ten,” she said. “It was incredible how much input there was. Over-
all, we had 1,000 people respond in one way oranother.”
T h e m e s c e n t r earound: how the district meets each student’s individualneeds; instructionalpractices; technology;student health; par-ent involvement; com-munity partnerships;facilities; financialresources and humanresources.
Reimer said it is too early to say what will be included in the draft strategic plan, but anyrecommendations for major changes wouldrequire community consultation.
Employees, parents,students and othermembers of the public are welcome to come to the meetings nextweek.
More information about the strategicplanning public con-sultation process is available at www.sd68.bc.ca.

Steve Arnett, chief executive officer of Nanaimo Youth Ser-vices, said he’s excitedabout renovating a historic rooming houseon Haliburton Streetinto an affordable hous-ing option for youth.Volunteers spent theday Saturday cleaning up and assessing theinterior of the home andremoving some of the overgrown weeds from the backyard.
RACHEL STERNTHE NEWS BULLETIN
BY RACHEL STERNTHE NEWS BULLETIN
Youth in Nanaimo will soon have asafe and affordable place to live.
Nanaimo Youth Services Association is renovating a home on Haliburton Street to offer working youth, ages 17 to30 years old, a place to live. The home,which was built in the early 1900s, was historically used as a rooming house.Over the years it became run down and got the reputation in the neighbour-hood of being a crack house.
Steve Arnett, chief executive officerfor the association, said neighbours are waiting to see how the changes theyouth association makes to the home add to the neighbourhood.
“The community is cautiously opti-mistic about what we are doing here,”said Arnett.
He said the association has alwaysenvisioned owning a piece of propertyto create affordable youth housing and has been pursuing that vision for the last three years. Some opportunitiescame up during that time but never came to completion.
“I’m almost in disbelief,” said Arnett about purchasing and renovating the property, as he stood outside the home Saturday, grinning.
One of the many volunteers on Satur-day included Ben Hall, a BladeRunnerprogram participant.
“It’s a really good project and is going to help out,” he said. “It’s really good for the neighbourhood because it usedto be a crack shack.”
Bob Moss, a member of the RotaryClub of Nanaimo North, said the rotary has been working with the youth association for two years.
“It’s a wonderful opportunity for the community,” he said, adding it willhelp young workers in Nanaimo.
The Nanaimo Youth Services Asso-ciation will renovate the building to
provide about 12 to 14 apartments for employed youth. Arnett said the association doesn’t know yet the exactnumber of rooms because it has todetermine the layout of the home first. Arnett said plans for the home include ripping out the insulation to install asprinkler system, which will make the building above fire code requirements.
Arnett said many Nanaimo busi-nesses volunteered their time and equipment to help during the renova-tion. The project received $302,000from the provincial governmentand a $75,000 grant from the City ofNanaimo, which came from the Hous-ing Legacy Fund.
The association already operates aresidence for youth ages 17-19 years oldon Waddington Road. The residence has 13 studio units, six two-bedroom units and one wheelchair accessible unit. The tenants are provided support to help complete high school, become employed or increase their skills tohelp reach independence. The youth association operated the building through a contract with B.C. Housing and the Ministry of Children and Fam-ily Development.

The B.C. government has reached a tenta-tive agreement with its largest employee group as the B.C. Government and ServiceEmployees’ Union recommended accep-tance of a two-year agreement with a four-per cent raise.
Premier Christy Clark announced the settlement Friday at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention, after talks broke down in the spring and the BCGEU staged a series of strikes at liquor stores and government offices around the prov-ince.
BCGEU president Darryl Walker said thegovernment dropped its proposal to sell the Liquor Distribution Branch warehouseand delivery system, which was “huge” for the union and a step toward privatizing government liquor stores as well.
“We think this is the spine of the sys-tem,” Walker said. “Without this we would perhaps have lost the whole system.”
Clark said the settlement meets the gov-ernment’s “cooperative gains” bargaining mandate, where savings and efficien-cies cover the costs of pay increases, but offered few details.
Walker said the 26,000-member unionagreed to work with the government toreduce sick days and find new efficienciesin operations that include ministry opera-tions, social workers, and provincial prisonand court services.
The union dropped its proposal to openmore liquor stores on Sundays to increaserevenue. Walker said that was to protect members whose distribution jobs weregoing to be privatized.
“Now that [privatization] is gone, we think we can talk to this government and in fact the next government about what it means to build revenues, and if we canfind a way to do that by opening stores, then I think it’s win-win,” Walker said.
Clark also announced a tentative agree-ment with resident physicians in B.C. hospitals, also a two-year deal under co-operative gains.
On Wednesday the government and theB.C. Nurses’ Union announced a tentative agreement for 32,000 Registered Nurses and Registered Psychiatric Nurses. Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid said theagreement includes a “modest” wageincrease, with details to be released aftermembers vote on it.

A show of pride in the downtown core by the Young Professionals of Nanaimo could be the catalyst to start a wave of restoration to buildings in need of some tender, loving care.
The former A&B Sound building at the corner of Commercial Street andTerminal Avenue has been both a topicof conversation and butt of jokes sinceclosing its doors four years ago.
It became known as the ‘Barney Building’ due to its bright purple exterior, attracting attention to the downtown for all the wrong reasons while the city,businesses and property owners strive tohead down the road to revitalization.
Seeing the building’s state as adetraction to downtown rejuvenation, the YPN took it upon itself to breathe some life into the property even though its future remains up in the air.
With permission from the propertyowner and donations of paint and other supplies from Nanaimo businesses, the ‘purple dinosaur’ received a coat of greywith dark brown awnings to fit in with the heritage feel of neighbouring buildings.
It’s a project that serves a tip of thehat to YPN for a job well done, and one that hopefully catches the attention of other property owners.
Downtown Nanaimo has been fighting since the explosion of shopping malls in the 1980s to establish an identity.
With the Port Theatre and othervenues, cruise ship terminal, art centre, condominiums, shopping and restaurants,the core pieces are in place to attract people to live and visit – and the dollars they will spend.
What the downtown has that shopping centres don’t, is character. But it needs every stakeholder to invest in the idea of revitalization.
It doesn’t need buildings that are eyesores. It doesn’t need half-finishedprojects sitting idle.
It needs pride and commitments. It needs more efforts like those of YPN.

C A N A D I A NCOMMUNITYNEWSPAPERAWARD 2012
Two weeks ago, I joined some family members in saying our final goodbyes to the family cabinat Shuswap Lake.
My grandparents have owned the place since well before I wasborn – the little, two-storey house nestled amongst some huge fir trees is where my great-grandpar-ents retired and the road is namedafter them.
When they died, myOoma and her sister decided to keep the place as a summer cabin for their extended families, my Ooma tak-ing one month and her sister taking the other.
But in recent years, this arrangement has started to fall apart.
Health issues have plagued both sets of grandparents, eroding the ability to take care of the placeon their own anymore, and the money is needed elsewhere.
My grandparents lack the money to buy the place outright and the number of relatives willing to come up and spend time there has dwindled in recent years.
We were all surprised when itsold last month – there are a lot of summer cabins for sale in thatarea – and so my side of the fam-ily, who had the place in July thisyear, had to make a late Septembertrip up there to clean the place out.
It’s amazing the amount of itemsthat collect in a cabin over theyears. Other family members had
already carted away some itemsearlier in September, but the place was still well-furnished.
Nobody wanted the plates, cut-lery and numerous other smallhousehold items trucked up there over the years, offloaded by rela-tives as they got new things for their own houses.
My Ooma grabbed my great-grandmother’s oldcookbook, with recipes carefully handwrit-ten out, and I grabbed things I thought would remind me of the place:an old blanket that I used to wrap aroundmyself when reading on the porch, the chip-and-dip plate we alwaysused during happyhour and my favouritecoffee mug.
I tried to take picturesof the place that would keep it fresh in my memory for years to come, but it didn’t look the samein its half-deconstructed state.
Besides, it isn’t really about thephysical building, but the people in it and memories made.
The cabin holds 30 years of happy summer memories for me:
Learning to waterski, with mydad behind me holding me up bythe collar of my life-jacket.
My first kiss – a brief, embar-rassing affair with the neighbour’s grandson.
Playing endless rounds ofCanasta (a time-consuming card game) on the screened-in porchwith whoever was willing to sit
down for a couple hours straight.Staying up late in the bunkhouse
– a separate little one-room build-ing with bunks in it where all of the children slept – and listening to music and goofing off withcousins and friends. Around mid-night or 1 a.m., someone usuallydecided it was time for a snackand I was often the one voted torun up to the house and tiptoe into the kitchen to get it.
Hours spent reading and dozing on a long, flat rock overlooking the lake.
The cabin brought the familytogether in a way no other placedid, given that we all stayed theretogether, shared meals and did things as a group each day. Much different than the hurried familydinners back home where some family members would have to leave early to get home at a decenthour.
I’m going to miss the house,the Shuswap sunsets, the daysspent lounging on our dock on thebeach. I’m also sad that the next generation won’t get to enjoy theplace and forge more memories there.
But in recent years, the placewas used infrequently by manyfamily members and so was not bringing us together the way itused to.
This is an opportunity to createnew family traditions, ones thatdon’t rely on my grandparents financing the yearly upkeep of aresidence and ones more of us willactively participate in.

Card checks providefair way to unionize
To the Editor,Re: Secret ballots must remain,
Letters, Sept. 15.Mathew Enns, a former intern
for the Canadian Federation ofIndependent Business, recentlycondemned the call to make itsafer for workers to join a union.
I wonder, was he speaking for workers or for the employers who wish to maintain their ability tothreaten and intimidate employ-ees who want to join a union?
Many workers, especiallyyoung and immigrant workers, are afraid to join a union becausethey fear they will be fired or demoted for trying.
Card check allows workers tomake their decision free from interference and threats from their employer, and preventsleaders of organizing drives from being fired unfairly.
The card check system Enns criticizes was recently adoptedby the Conservative governmentof Newfoundland and Labrador.It has long been recognized asa fair, balanced and democratic way for workers to unionize.
I am responsible for helping to organize young workers who want to join a union. I want themto have rights and fair working conditions in their workplaces.
Can Enns say the same thing?Jason Mann

Media has agenda on Obama re-election
To the Editor,Re: Editorial cartoon, Opinion
Sept. 22. Your editorial cartoon shows
American presidential candidate Mitt Romney with a Band-Aidover his mouth, apparently allud-ing to his “gaffe” regarding 47
per cent of the electorate being on some form of governmentdependency.
Romney’s statement was fac-tually correct and needed to be said, even in a politically correctworld.
On the other hand, during an appearance on the DavidLetterman program of Sept. 19,President Barack Obama wasasked by the host if the national debt stood “around $10 trillion” and whether that was a problem. He responded, “I don’t knowwhat the number is, precisely.”Being directly responsible forat least $5 trillion, he most cer-tainly knows $10 trillion was an absurdly low and softball guess by Letterman.
If the President of the United States does not know that thenational debt is greater than $16 trillion we can reach only two conclusions.
First, he was being dishonest
to millions of viewers of the pro-gram, and second, the national press, both American and Canadian, are willing to blithelyignore what was not a ‘gaffe’ buta deliberate un-truth,
It appears both the Canadian and American media arestumping for the re-election of President Obama. Little wondermainstream media retains so lit-tle credibility in an increasinglyinformed world.

Community can solvecity’s litter problems
To the Editor,Re: Litterbugs have no respect
for community, Letters, Sept. 27.Well, Dean Ben, welcome to
Nanaimo. It is with heavy heart that
I have to tell you this, but thecity claims it does not have any
money for extra garbage cansand extra man hours to be situ-ated around the city.
I spoke to Gary Franssen at the Nanaimo city works, and he informed me there was notenough money to get associated with this project.
The students at John Barsby Community School go to 7-Elevenat lunch and informed me it wastoo far to go to the next garbage can to dispose of their containers along Bruce Avenue, so I donated one. The students use the canand that stretch is quite cleannow. One thanked me for the can.
It is up to us and businessesto get involved in this clean up. Presently, 7-Eleven is donating the bags for the can.
Hopefully Ben’s letter willhelp get things rolling around Nanaimo with business and citi-zen participation.

To the Editor,Re: Let’s see poor’s quali-
ficationsff , Letters, Sept. 25.Matt James raises
a series of importantquestions about how weat Loaves and Fishes Community Food Bankmeet the needs of the most vulnerable in our community.
The fact that there arethose who may not needthe services, but utilize it none the less, means thatthere is less food for those who truly need it.
Loaves and Fishes shares this concern and is currently considering
options for establishing a means test for clients. Tothis end, on Sept. 19 the Loaves and Fishes MeansTest Committee met. Aswell, on Sept. 24-25 I attended the Food Banks B.C. board meeting in Kelowna and spoke to seven different food banksto get input and practiceson this issue.
James identifies fancyautomobiles and ciga-rettes as red flags that callinto question an individ-ual’s need for food bankservices.
With regard to fancy automobiles, there are
many people who drive their poor neighbours and friends to the food bank as an act of charity andgenerosity. Communitysocial workers often bring people to the food bank.Could some of these fancyautomobiles be fromGood Samaritans and social workers? Second,since May, 4,730 different people have used Loavesand Fishes services. In August, 3,012 different people used our services.That means that 1,718people (a full 36 per cent) used Loaves and Fishes in May, June or July but
did not use the service in August.
More often than not, theshort-term need for foodbank services is broughton by a cash flow crunch(excessive debt brought onby a car loan?) not a com-pletely depleted personal net worth. Could some of these fancy cars be fromthe people who use ourservice on a short-term basis brought on by a cash flow crunch?
Many food bank clientsstruggle with addiction issues of which cigarettes are one. How we helppeople out of addiction
and conversely how we enable someone in theiraddiction is clearly a dis-cussion we need to have as a society.
Should people who havean addiction be deniedaccess to the food bank? Perhaps, but it raises chal-lenging questions.
How do we determine if someone has an addic-tion? What addictionsare on the ‘do not servelist’? Are we going to denyservice to children whose parents have an addic-tion?
I would invite Jamesand anyone who has had
their perception of thehungry tainted to volun-teer at Loaves and Fishes and meet the clients firsthand.
This gives a better insight into the lives offood bank clients thanbeing employed at a busi-ness next door to the food bank.
Our next volunteerorientation is 3:30 p.m. Wednesday (Oct. 3) at 1009Farquhar St.

city sceneInbrief
Nanaimo’s Jan
Kerekes, back row,
centre, is hosting a
collection day Oct.
21 at St. Peter’s
Catholic Church to
bring as many small
household items as
he can carry to the
Iban tribe in Borneo.
PHOTO CONTRIBUTED
To Borneo, with loveThe world is not such a big place
nowadays and a Nanaimo man has been taking advantage of the fact, spending the last decade travelling and working in different parts of the globe.
Jan Kerekes has seen a lot, oftenin unconventional ways, and haslearned a lot as well.
“I have also kept my faith in good-ness in people. Always,” he said.“Even in the parts of the world thatare considered dangerous or wild, I always believe in people.”
Three years ago, Kerekes spentthree weeks living with the Iban tribe in the heart of the Kaliman-tan jungle on the island of Borneo.
Kerekes learned a great deal from these people with old mystic tradi-tions, and hard ways of life.
“I could also see the little breeze of change that one person couldmake in their lives, change for something new, change to improve their lives,” he said.
Treated not only as a guest, but as a friend, Kerekes promised to come back. And with that promise, anidea was born.
“It is because of the remotenessas well as their limited resources that many basic things do not find the way into their little village,” he said. “So I decided to deliver them
myself. As simple as that, as muchas I could carry – and I can carrya lot.”
Kerekes is hosting a collectionday Oct. 21 in the parking lot of St.Peter’s Roman Catholic Church, 301Machleary St., from 12:30-4:30 p.m. for small household items, schoolsupplies, cutlery, basic fishing gear, clothing, toys and more.
“I believe that things, items fromeveryday life, should be put intouse, given a second chance, instead of just lying around a house orbeing thrown to garbage,” he said. “I would like to collect all kinds ofusable items, pack them into twobig hockey bags and bring them across half a world so they can findnew, happy owners.”
Deciding to see if the goodnessin people can stretch across theoceans and continents, Kerekes hopes people will donate gifts theywould want themselves.
“This is not a charity run or typi-cal second-hand items collection,”he said. “This is just a chance to see that set of kitchen ladles thatyou never use in the hands of smil-ing lady in the floating house in Borneo. To see alphabet books thathelped your own children, helping in a simple school built on stilts bythe river side.”
Past meets present and mixes in a little of the future as Nano-ose Evangelical Free Church cel-ebrates 25 years of sharing God’s word in the community.
The former Nanoose Commu-nity Church began with children and youth meetings and homebible studies in 1983 on Morello Road, held services in the Nano-ose Library and opened the doors at its present location, 2462Nanoose Rd., in 1985.
Anyone involved with thechurch in its early beginnings,attends services today or is new
to the Nanoose area, is invited to take part in a weekend celebra-tion Oct. 12-14.
Events include: a gospel con-cert on the Friday featuring singer Valerie Ransom and friends at 7 p.m.; an open house from 1-4 p.m. on the Saturday;and worship and Thanksgiving services on the Sunday begin-ning at 10 a.m.
For more information, pleasecall pastor Chris Wilson at 1-250-468-9233, Len Taylor at 1-250-468-7852 or go to http://members.shaw.ca/nefc.

Maria Muldaur performs songs from her upcoming album First Came Memphis Min-nie Wednesday (Oct. 3) at the Queens.
Singing the bluesBY RACHEL STERN
THE NEWS BULLETIN
Maria Muldaur has beendelighting audienceswith her blues music for almost four decades.
The multiple Grammy nomineeis performing in Nanaimo Wednes-day (Oct. 3) at the Queen’s as part of her tour to promote her latest album First Came Memphis Minnie,which will be released Oct. 9. Thealbum is a tribute to pioneering blues women.
On First Came Memphis Minnie,her 40th album,Muldaur collabo-rates with musi-cians such asSteve James, BobMargolin, Del Rey,P h o e b e S n ow,Bonnie Raitt andothers.
It includes sev-eral previously-released tracks from two of her Grammy-nomi-nated albums.
Memphis Minnie, who the albumwas named after, was considered the reigning queen of mid-20th cen-tury blues and a pioneer of the elec-trified Chicago-blues-band sound. During her 40 year music careerMemphis Minnie released morethan 200 songs.
“At a time when women were ‘keptin their place’ both personally andprofessionally, Memphis Minnie was tough, independent, outspo-ken and played a mean guitar,” saidMuldaur.
Muldaur said Memphis Min-nie took her under her wing when Muldaur was first starting out inher career.
“Despite racial, economic andgender barriers prevalent at the
time she did what she wanted to,” said Muldaur.
It was Muldaur’s ’74 hit Midnight on the Oasis that received several Grammy nominations, which madeher name known across the globe.She has recorded 39 solo albums and throughout her music career has explored various forms of Ameri-can roots music, including early blues bluegrass, Appalachian oldtimey, gospel, jazz and big band.
Muldaur says her musical evolu-tion is like making gumbo. You adda few ingredients, let them simmer,then add a few more until the ingre-
dients take on all the flavours.
“It’s all mixed in the musical gumbosomewhere,” said Muldaur about her music, adding she’s been blessedwith a “long ram-bling odyssey” of a music career. “Ican’t tell you how
lucky we are in this country to have such a rich and varied history of musical culture.”
For her 2011 album, Steady Love,she returned to her home in New Orleans to create a contemporary electric blues album that reflects thetype of music she calls “Bluesiana Music”, which is her own brand of New Orleans flavoured blues, R&B and swamp funk.
She’s currently nominated for a Koko Taylor Award, for best tra-ditional female blues artist, in the Blues Foundation Music Awards.
Maria Muldaur performs at theQueen’s, located at 34 Victoria Cr.,Wednesday (Oct. 3). Doors open at7:30 p.m. and the show starts at 8p.m. Tickets are $25 in advance or$30 at the door.

Raiders win as Sun miss their chance
BY GREG SAKAKITHE NEWS BULLETIN
The V.I. Raiders wonagain as the Okanagan Sun missed anotherchance.
Saturday’s B.C. FootballConference rivalry game at Caledonia Park endedin a 32-30 win for the Raid-ers after the Sun missed a 37-yard field goal attemptin the closing seconds.
“It was an ugly win, but it was a great win, it was atough win,” said Matthew(Snoop) Blokker, coach ofthe Raiders.
The Sun led much of theway, but V.I. kicker Mark Mueller hit a 39-yard field goal with a little over two minutes left to give histeam a two-point lead.
The Sun were able to getinto field goal range them-selves, but the kick sailed wide right. It was the sec-ond time this season that the Sun have missed a potential game-winning kick at Caledonia Park.
“Okie, whenever theycome out, they alwaysbring their A game, it’s always a tough game,”said Mueller. “When we came out after half, webrought our A game, webrought it to them and we came out with a win.”
The Raiders scored justone touchdown in the first half, as Dustin Pedersen stretched out to haul in
a 16-yard reception from Jordan Yantz.
The Sun took a 21-12 lead into halftime, but the Raiders ratcheted uptheir game in the thirdquarter. Yantz was able to punch in a one-yard TD, then the QB led a drivein which he went overthe 10,000 career passing yards mark. On his very
next throw after reaching the milestone, he found aleaping Mike Schaper fora 27-yard touchdown.
Sun coach Gavin Lake was disappointed to lose,but considered the loss tobe a solid performance.
“We knew we were going to be in a dogfight,” said Lake. “Our defence kept us in it and our offence
made some clutch playsat the right time and wegot a key drive at the end,we got some yards, we got some range and our kicker got underneathit.”
GRID BITS … Yantz finished 22-for-35 for 321 yards with two touch-downs and two intercep-tions. Pedersen made eight
catches for 124 yards andSchaper had eight catches for 104 yards. Defensively, Dylan Chapdelaine hadeight solo tackles and four assisted tackles andErling Skuggedal had four pass knockdowns …The Raiders’ next game isSaturday (Oct. 6) when itvisits the Langley Rams.
