Colliery dams stay another 30 days

Nanaimo city council votes to delay deconstruction to allow time to consult with Snuneymuxw First Nation on project By JEnn M c GARRIGLE

THe NewS BULLeTiN

wo dams in Colliery Dam Park will remain intact for at least another month after Nanaimo city council decided to consult on the issue for another 30 days. City council was expected to pick a company to do the dam removal work at Monday’s meeting, but a presentation from Snuneymuxw First Nation Chief Douglas White III prompted Coun. Bill McKay to make a motion to conduct further discussions with the Snuneymuxw and exhaust all of the possible options and considerations before awarding a contract for removal of the dams. White told council the May 13 decision to tear down the dams, then rebuild them at some point with a hydroelectric component, went in a different direction than

what had been talked about up until then and could potentially be the riskiest path to take in terms of the health of the river. “Fisheries always matter to the Snuneymuxw,” he said. “We do believe that there’s time right now to be taken, that we have time in front of us to be able to repair and get ourselves back onto a path of partnership and mutuality and recognition and respect. I believe that we have time to look at this issue because of the critical nature of it and the importance of the outcomes of the decision.” White also told council he believed rebuilding the dams is extremely unlikely given the province has told them it is very rare that dams are approved to be built or rebuilt for recreational purposes. The motion passed 7-1, with only Coun. Ted Greves opposing. Coun. Bill Bestwick was absent. u See ‘SNUNEYMUXW’ /4

Council gives green light to hotel I coMpaNy ExpEcTS to infuse $35 million in economic benefit to city. By Jenn M c GarriGle The News BulleTiN

CHRIS BUSH/THe NewS BUlleTIN

The empty lot at 100 Gordon St. is one step closer to seeing a hotel built after council gave staff the go-ahead to begin negotiating with SSS Manhao.

number of conditions, including a parking agreement for up to 190 spaces in the conference centre parkade; an option for the city to buy the property back at the original price if SSS Manhao does not construct the foundation within 18 months of acceptance of the offer; a development covenant that requires the hotel to be built within three years and maintained at a four-diamond rating or higher; and easement documents that allow the company access to the conference centre and Piper Park. Angus said the parking spaces are not exclusive and when the hotel does not have need of them – many of the guests are expected to arrive by tour bus – they would be available for others. He said SSS Manhao has first right of refusal when the contract for managing the conference centre expires. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

ASK ABOUT AC TAXI VOUCHERS

By Jenn M c GarriGle The News BulleTiN

The City of Nanaimo wants to improve its online presence and is looking for feedback from the community. The website is a big deal for the city – more than 30,000 unique visitors use the site each month, 80 per cent of whom are from the Nanaimo area, said Jason Birch, senior applications analyst with the city. But the city’s website was last updated in 2007 and much has changed since then. First of all, while less than one per cent of people were viewing the site on mobile devices in 2009, now more than a quarter of users access the site using mobile devices – a problem because the current site was not designed to be easy to access from a mobile device, he said. Second, the city added a number of services to the site and residents can now view business licences and building permits online, pay utility bills online, and search parks and public art, amongst other things. But many people are unaware these services are available and the current design does not help, said Birch. To help determine improvements that can be made, staff recently launched a survey that pops up when new visitors enter the site and held a public meeting at the Nanaimo Aquatic Centre for more in-depth discussion. Birch said the city has received about 300 survey responses so far – he encourages people to visit the site and take the survey, as staff hope to collect at least 500 responses – and more than a dozen people showed up to the meeting. Birch said the feedback from residents ranges from not wanting the site to change to being frustrated with it. Some preliminary results of the online and in-person consultations show that 40 per cent of visitors are interested in reading city bylaws or policies but have trouble finding the specific information they are looking for; people struggled to find the date of the next council meeting; and the city is not doing a good enough job of linking to other agencies such as the Regional District of Nanaimo or the Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation, he said. “We found places where the current site structure made it hard to find information,” said Birch. Staff want to tie in more social media elements, which is difficult to retrofit into the existing website, and provide people with an online avenue to let staff know whether the site is meeting their needs or if they need further information, he said. Birch expects the information gathering to wrap up in the next week or so and then a city committee will look at the responses and perhaps issue a request for proposals as early as next month. He said the goal is to finish the new site by the end of the year or beginning of next year. For more information, please go to www. nanaimo.ca. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

planes per day, but it also arranges meetings, conferences, retreats and incentive travel packages for corporate clients and is interested in working with the conference centre management team to bring some of these people to Nanaimo, he said. SSS Manhao also wants to work with Vancouver Island University to provide opportunities for its employees to receive hospitality management education here and some of its retail travel clients could decide it is a good place for real estate and business investments, said Angus. “[The hotel] will have a significant impact as far as raising awareness about our community,” he said, adding that the company is taking out ads in a Chinese newspaper that has a daily circulation of 1.8 million people to help build awareness about the city. Angus said the NEDC is reaching out to local stakeholders to develop programs for the tourists. “They’re very comfortable that what the community has to offer would be something their guests would enjoy,” he said.

City seeks feedback on website design

Pub:

A new $50-million, 197-room hotel is one step closer to becoming a reality in Nanaimo’s downtown core. City council gave its approval in principle Monday night to sell city-owned land at 100 Gordon St. to SSS Manhao International Tourism Group, a B.C. affiliate of China’s Suzhou Youth Travel Services, for $565,000. The next step is sending out a notice of disposition, followed by final approval from council two weeks from now and then the parties will begin working through a serious of conditions. Next to the Vancouver Island Conference Centre, the 0.17-hectare piece of land will be used by SSS Manhao to construct a 17-floor hotel that includes a swimming pool, weight room, retail units and a restaurant and bar on the 17th floor. The company is developing a business plan for a new tour route from Vancouver to Vancouver Island that includes an overnight stay at the proposed Nanaimo hotel and estimates that 70,000 tourists would be brought through the Harbour City annually, generating about $35 million in revenue for the local economy. Mayor John Ruttan said it is a good sign that a company wants to invest $50 million in Nanaimo. “I think the greatest impact is it shows Nanaimo is coming of age,” he said. Ruttan said the new hotel will assist in making the conference centre a more self-sustaining operation – the city currently subsidizes operations to the tune of $950,000 per year – because it would add an additional 200 high-quality hotel rooms, which will allow the centre to book larger events. “I’m optimistic that this is going to bring in more business,” he said. Sasha Angus, Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation CEO, said the new hotel will have a significant economic impact for the region. The company operates not only a large retail travel business that puts more than 40,000 people on

Police officer assaulted at hospital Snuneymuxw wants ALMANAC A female Mountie discovered sometimes even cops can be caught off guard when she was sucker punched by a woman at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital Monday. The assault happened at about 3:15 p.m. while the Mountie was at the hospital investigating an unrelated matter. A woman, who had just been released from the hospital, walked up behind the officer, tapped her on the shoulder and punched the officer in the face when she turned around. The 25-year-old suspect,

a resident of Victoria, was arrested by other police officers at the scene and remains in custody. Nanaimo RCMP have recommended a charge of one count of assault causing bodily harm and the suspect is scheduled to appear in Nanaimo provincial court Tuesday. The RCMP officer, who has five years of service, was treated for a broken nose and is expected to be off work for an undisclosed period to recover from her injury. The officer is a member of the Oceanside detachment.

u From /1 While another 55 people had signed up to speak on the dam removal issue after White, council decided to postpone the delegations, given that the topic they intended to speak on would not be discussed that evening after all. Had the contract been awarded – city staff was recommending that Milner Group Ventures Inc. do the work for a little more than $2.9 million – removal would have started as early as next week. Mayor John Ruttan said the 30-day window negatively impacts the construction timeframe, but that hopefully there will still be enough time to deconstruct one or both of the dams before the rains come in the fall. “This whole thing to me is all around public safety,” he said. “They’re the two biggest-risk dams in British Columbia. They need to come down. So now the issue is what do you want to see afterward. Now we need to meet with the Snuneymuxw First Nation and find out what they envision as a possible route forward.”

Ruttan said according to the city’s estimates, deconstructing the dams and re-naturalizing the river comes with a price tag of about $7 million and deconstructing the dams and then rebuilding them would cost around $12 million, but he did not know if the province would veto the proposal to rebuild the dams as White suggested might happen. White said Snuneymuxw has not come to any decision on the best way to move forward and that what is needed is time to look at the options. Jeff Solomon, Colliery Dam Preservation Society spokesman, said simply ripping the dams out could be detrimental to the health of the river. “Putting a good plan in place that works for everybody is really the goal,” Solomon said, adding that his group is willing to pay for a study to show how the water level can be lowered in both dams to mitigate the risk in the shortterm. The city estimates that de-watering would cost $400,000 per dam per month. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Activities connect kids with science

Salmon festival boosts benefits of fish, raises money for Tour de Rock Thrifty Foods goes wild at Longwood Station on Saturday (July 13) for its annual Sockeye Salmon Festival and it’s all in support of the Tour de Rock and Cops for Cancer. “We wanted to highlight a renewable and healthy resource,” said Dan Zapotichny, store manager at Longwood Station. “And support a great cause.” They’re starting early, he said, because the more money raised the better. With the tour coming through Nanaimo on Sept. 29, there’s plenty of time to grow the coffers. With two of Nanaimo’s own constables, Misty Dmytar, from the Nanaimo detachment, and Ed de Jong, Gabriola Island detachment, riding in the 22-member team, it’s a homegrown fundraiser paired perfectly with the best-known seafood – wild sockeye salmon. “It’s a great tie-in,” Zapotichny said. “Not only is salmon good for us but it’s also our tastiest renewable resource.” Covering 1,000 kilometres in 14 days, the Tour de Rock enters its 15th year with 27 communities looking forward to its arrival. Every year its popularity grows and fundraising by organizations across the Island is eagerly embraced. Thrifty Foods, with its customers, staff and suppliers, raised more than $220,000 in the past three years and has no plans to stop its support, especially when most of the money is flagged for Camp Good Times, a safety focused, medically supervised, recreational experience for kids with cancer and their families. Burgers will be on the barbie at 11 a.m. and served until 3 p.m. Zapotichny suggests a donation of $5 and said that all proceeds will be given to the Tour de Rock. “You won’t miss seeing where burgers will be served,” he said. “Just look for the 20-foot sport fishing boat, face painting for kids and large sign.”

launched some brand new programs, like NS3’s Summer Science Camps at VIU and NS3’s Science on the Move,” said society president and co-founder Sue Durnin. The programs run with the support of Vancouver Island University and VMAC, a Nanaimo-based manufacturer that designs and builds vehiclemounted air compressor systems. “We feel that this type of science program provides an invaluable resource for families in our area while helping to cultivate the scientists, engineers and technicians that will be our future,” said Jim Hogan, VMAC president. “This program will help our children be successful in their professional lives.”

Book a TeeTime

The mission of the Nanaimo Science and Sustainability Society is to inspire families and develop their interest in science and sustainability through hands-on learning. Key to this mission is community outreach through our educational programs, and an interactive science centre. “Getting children and youth excited about science and sustainability in a fun and supportive environment is so important not only for their personal development, but also for strengthening our community,” said Dan Hurley, executive director of university relations for Vancouver Island University.

Inbrief Manager hands over reins to city hall city scene

Bridge closed for repair work The Lions Great Bridge will be closed for several days this summer to have its support beams painted. Work on the pedestrian bridge, located on the Waterfront Promenade just north of Maffeo Sutton Park, started Tuesday. The bridge will be closed for up to six working days while parks and recreation workers erect scaffolding, but the bridge will be open over the weekend. The bridge will remain open while the beams are painted, but will be temporarily closed again for a few days after painting is completed so the scaffolding can be disassembled. During closure times pedestrian are asked to use a detour route over the Pearson Bridge on Terminal Avenue. The detour route will be marked with signs.

Fire damages ministry office A fire in a planter caused exterior cosmetic damage and interior smoke damage to the Ministry of Environment building on Labieux Road late Tuesday. Firefighters knocked down the fire shortly before 11:30 p.m. Ennis Mond, Nanaimo Fire Rescue fire prevention officer, said flames from a planter, located outside the structure, got into exterior foam insulation under the building’s stucco cladding, causing burn damage to a sixmetre-by-one-metre area. There is also some smoke damage to the building’s interior. No one was injured and what started the planter on fire is under investigation.

Al Kenning makes decision to retire after 35-year career with City of Nanaimo By Chris Bush ThE NEWS BuLLETiN

Al Kenning, city manager, is handing over the reins after a 35-year career with the City of Nanaimo. Kenning, 60, will stay on with the city until early September when Ted Swabey, general manager of community safety and development, takes over the position. “The years just keep ticking by,” Kenning said, of his decision to retire. “It’s nothing specific other than the time keeps marching on.” Prior to coming to Nanaimo, Kenning was the manager of treasury and budgets with the B.C. Lottery Corporation in Kamloops. He came to that job from the Thompson-Nicola Regional District where he was the assistant secretary-treasurer. Kenning, who grew up in Victoria, came to work in Nanaimo in 1987 as the municipality’s director of finance. “It was a great job opportunity and I was from the Island, so it was a combination of being able to come back to the Island

AL KENNING

and the job opportunity,” Kenning said. Kenning also held the position of general manager of corporate services before becoming the deputy city manager. Being the leader of a great team was one of the most rewarding aspects of working for the city, Kenning said. “I think, as a municipality, we provide a lot of good services to the community and provide them at a reasonable price and I’m quite proud of that,” he said. Kenning has been part of Nanaimo’s steady growth

“

One thing about this business, there’s always lots of challenges.

over the past 35 years, but said one of the most challenging projects of his career was the Vancouver Island Conference Centre, which with planning and construction consumed the better part of 10 years. “One thing about this business, there’s always lots of challenges,” Kenning said. “I’d have to say that the Vancouver Island Conference Centre was a challenging project because almost half the people in the community weren’t in favour and slightly over half were, so it was challenging from outset, but I think it’s a

great facility with great operators. It is now and will be even more of a great asset for the community in terms of an economic generator.” Kenning isn’t prepared to say what his plans for retirement are, but said he is looking forward to the time, flexibility and opportunities retirement will afford. Indications are he won’t be slowing down, though. “This is a full-time job and then some,” Kenning said. “It’s not the kind of situation where you can slow down. It’s full speed or not at all.” “Al has had an exemplary public service career and, as city manager, has provided exceptional leadership for council and staff,” Mayor John Ruttan said, in a press release. “It has been a privilege to have worked with Al and on behalf of council we wish him all the best in retirement.” Ted Swabey, who has been with the city 23 years, will take over for Kenning on Sept. 3. Swabey’s starting annual salary will be $209,270. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

exams help women detect breast cancer early By Jenn M c GarriGle ThE NEWS BuLLETiN

Women are encouraged to do regular breast self-examinations to help detect any signs or symptoms of breast cancer, but some may have questions on what to look for. A special event taking place at KC’s Boutique in Longwood Station Sunday (July 14) allows women to get a hands-on education to help answer their questions. From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., the store

will have a table set up with information about breast cancer and mock silicone breasts, courtesy of B.D. Mitchell Prosthetic and Orthotic Services Ltd., that allow people to feel for different types of lumps. “You have to kind of feel for it, which teaches you how to do that,” said Karen Griffin, co-owner of KC’s Boutique, adding that she thought her own customers could benefit from the experience. “It’s definitely our age group,” she said. “We just feel that it’s nice to

look after our customers. It’s a customer awareness piece.” Griffin got the idea to host a breast cancer awareness event in the store after seeing B.D. Mitchell’s educational display at the West Coast Women’s Show earlier this spring. A certified mastectomy fitter from B.D.

Police advise that pets be left at home Police are cautioning motorists that car interiors heat up quickly on hot days, setting up dangerous conditions for children and pets left inside. There have been no calls involving children left in cars, but police have responded to several calls about pets that appeared to have been in distress after being left in vehicles. “Since the middle of June we’ve had seven calls about dogs left in cars,” said Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman. All calls were resolved, none involved injury to the pets involved. Police are advising people who find an animal left in a vehicle that appears to be in distress to follow these steps: u Try to provide shade or water for the animal. u Call 911. A police officer will be assigned. u Look for the owner of the car. Go to nearby stores or if possible have the driver paged. u Stay with the car until police arrive. In most cases a police officer can be there within minutes. O’Brien said police expect people to take reasonable measures. Nanaimo RCMP do not advise people to attempt to enter or break into a vehicle, but to wait for a police officer.

EDITORIAL

Delay on dams is worthwhile The decision to extend consultation on the removal of two dams at Colliery Dam Park is an opportunity for a sober second look at the path Nanaimo city council has chosen so far. In October, during an in camera meeting, city council decided to remove the two dams at the park in the heart of Harewood and allow the stream to re-naturalize. The decision came after direction from the provincial Dam Safety Branch to mitigate the risk posed by a potential dam break and subsequent flooding should the century-old dams fail during an earthquake or significant rainfall event. The public backlash has ranged from passionate to vitriolic as dozens of residents lined up to speak on the issue during council meetings. As a result, council voted in May to rebuild the dams in 2014 after removal this summer. On Monday, councillors voted to delay awarding a contract for dam deconstruction for 30 days to allow for the city to further consult with Snuneymuxw First Nation on what comes next. Rebuilding the dams, as opposed to allowing the stream to re-naturalize, could pose risks to the fishery on the river – a fishery that is bound by treaty rights to aboriginals in Canada. But the extended consultation also allows council and city staff to review all the decisions made so far to ensure that the final outcome is one that is wellinformed and balances the needs and wants of the community. Colliery Dam Park is a well-used and much loved aspect of the Harewood community. Any decision made will have significant impact on residents who use the park or who live in the flood plain below. City council gets one chance on its course of action on the issues facing the park – an extended consultation will help make sure that the course of action it chooses is the right one.

Coleman soon abandoned his idea of putting off the Ruskin and John Hart upgrades (again) to keep rates low through the election, and saw the B.C. Utilities Commission jack up the rate increase to seven per cent to help slow the ballooning debt. What’s ahead for rates? The utility is looking for 32 per cent in the next three years, says energy lawyer David Austin. He calculates that only 2.5 per cent is attributable to increased private power costs. Among other things, B.C. Hydro needs regional emergency centres capable of functioning after a Japan-sized quake, plus expansion. Bennett came clean on another reason for rate increases – the government’s increasing dependence on taking a “dividend” as B.C. Hydro’s lone “shareholder.” The newly updated budget tells us this annual “dividend” is past $500 million and rising fast: $545 million this year, $611 million next year and $684 million the year after. u Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Four-firefighter halls ensure quick response To the Editor:

Re: Response time a danger, Letters, July 2. In the letter regarding a house fire in the Oakridge area, Pamela Morrison states, “this area needs a 24-hour, seven day per week, four-man stationed fire hall.” As spokesman for the Nanaimo Professional Firefighters Association, we agree with her position that this area not only needs protection but also this was identified in the City of Nanaimo 2005 Fire Response Study and further in a plan to build and staff this hall no later than 2017. We concur that the response to this area is slowed by its geographical location and is further shown to have delayed response as proven by a 2011 structure fire in this same area. The first arriving apparatus with four firefighters dropped all immediate tasks and were able to make entry and rescue a person still trapped inside. After removing this person the crew then recognized the structure was unsafe and began defensive fire attack from the exterior. In April 2013, Fire Chief Ron Lambert introduced a new fire plan model including the building of three new fire halls and reducing all halls outside the downtown core to two firefight-

Canned tuna tastes all right To the Editor,

Re: Fish is delicious, but check the label, July 9. Is Marjorie Stewart stuck in a time warp? Every article she writes refers to times 50 or so years ago in a different country and a very different time. The fact that some fish products are mislabelled means that they should be removed from shelves or labelled properly. the majority of fish products are properly labelled and provide healthy alternatives to beef, pork and even chicken. Not everyone can afford to pay the high prices local producers charge for their products. Inexpensive food products, either fresh or processed, are needed so all can enjoy healthy meals.

ers. City staff and stakeholders are currently consulting on this new model and council will be reviewing this new plan over the next few months and making a decision on which model to follow. With this new proposed model we recognize that the first arriving apparatus to this area could now have to wait 10-12 minutes for more personnel to arrive on scene and allow us to make entry. This limits our ability to take aggressive action including interior fire attack and civilian rescue. By finishing the 2005 fire plan, building this hall in the Hammond Bay area, staffing it with four firefighters 24 hours a day, we know we can then complete an aggressive interior fire attack, affect rescue and complete our fire ground tasks quicker and safer. Our association does not endorse this newly proposed model of two-firefighter halls. We continue to support the completion of the 2005 plan, build the new fire station in the Hammond Bay area to ensure that all fire engines respond with the minimum of four firefighters at all times.

Firefighters attack a house fire on Rockridge Place in Nanaimo earlier this summer. Better-staffed fire halls would improve response time and save lives, suggests the president of the Nanaimo Professional Firefighters Association.

Sense of entitlement should be taken away To the Editor,

At what point did public service morph into public profiteering? From the highest to the lowest levels, those in government service have succumbed to a ‘what’s in it for me’ attitude. Senators, not content with generous salary, housing, travel and pension benefits apparently feel entitled to game the system by using a very loose interpretation of the rules of the senate. Meanwhile, rank and file public service workers, perhaps taking their cue from their political masters, feel free to

Nanaimo News Bulletin 9

strike for still more pay and benefits, regardless of the damage done to the ordinary taxpayer from whom they derive their livelihood. Witness the foreign service employees who are on strike. A Level 2 foreign service worker earns $83,000 annually, as well as a ‘foreign service premium’ of $6,600 to $31,300 – not to mention a fully indexed, defined benefit pension plan and early retirement. Their complaint of course is that they make less than other government workers of similar skills, refusing to recognize that such salaries and benefits

are neither fair nor sustainable to taxpayers. Yet these coddled and protected workers are prepared to sacrifice the livelihoods of Canadian farmers who rely on temporary foreign workers to harvest their crops, as well as the hundreds of thousands who work in tourism related businesses who rely upon the issuance of visitors visas. It’s time to de-unionize monopoly government workers, returning them to the professional status they purport to be.

There has been some recent celebration that women are outnumbering their male counterparts in universities, even up to three to one as in the University of Victoria. I don’t see the reason to celebrate, though, because I think there is too much emphasis on attracting young men into the oil, mining, construction, and gas industries, which equates to a brain drain for the short-term prospects of resource exploitation. We should balance out this deficit and stop obsessing on a phantom oncoming trade shortage and just encourage young men to be the leaders and innovators of the future like they have always been.

Rotary collects food for Salvation Army

MORe ThAN $4,000 in donations raised in June fundraiser.

Rotary clubs in central Vancouver Island joined forces in June to help fill the shelves at the Salvation Army. Nanaimo (Downtown), Nanaimo North, Daybreak, Oceanside, and Lantzville Rotaries and nine grocery stores worked together to fight hunger in the community

during food drives at Quality Foods, Thrifty Foods, Save-onFoods and Fairways Market on June 15. The Rotarians held a barbecue and collected more than 226 kilograms of food and $4,000 in donations. Summer is a challenging time for the Salvation Army’s emergency hamper program because donations tend to be lower than other months. For four mornings a week the organization’s Community Services, located at 19 Nicol St., opens its doors to help resi-

dents. The organization has seen an 18 per cent increase in demand for services and people accessing the program come from all walks of life: families, children, working poor, unemployed, people on social assistance or living on fixed incomes such as seniors or people with disabilities. The Salvation Army provides 3,000 emergency food hampers a year. For more information, please go to www.salvation army.ca.

Sun protection important during summer Summer is finally here for Vancouver Island, and with temperatures predicted to rise, the Vancouver Island Health Authority would like to remind people about some important sun and heat safety tips. Excessive exposure to the sun can cause serious illness such as sun stroke and heat exhaustion. The sun’s rays can also damage skin, particularly over years of exposure. Here are some tips so everyone can enjoy the sun safely: u Seek shade and keep skin covered as much as possible when spending time in the sun. The sun can burn and damage skin even on a cloudy day. u Wear a hat with a wide brim. u Children are more vulnerable to sun damage and heatstroke, so ensure their skin is protected or in the shade. Infants less than six months should wear a UVA/

News BulletiN file

Now that summer’s here, the Vancouver Island Health Authority is reminding people to protect their skin from sun damage.

UVB protective suit if spending time outdoors. u Apply sunscreen early and often with a minimum Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 30 to exposed skin at

least 15-30 minutes prior to going out. Use it liberally and make sure to reapply often throughout the day, especially following swimming or heavy perspiration. u Wear sunglasses, especially when driving or cycling. Exposure to ultraviolet radiation can cause cataracts and other eye diseases. u Avoid strenuous outdoor activities during peak hours of sun (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.). u Drink plenty of fluids, but avoid alcohol and caffeine as they can be dehydrating. u Keep your body cool – dress in lightweight and loose-fitting clothing that covers most of your body. u Never leave children in a car unattended – vehicles sitting in the heat can reach temperatures that can be fatal within just a few minutes. For more information, please visit www.viha.ca.

Festival supports Hospice APPLAUSE To the Editor,

Everyone at Nanaimo Community Hospice looks forward to the Save-On-Foods Dragon Boat Festival. It is always filled with many wonderful and poignant moments that include laughter, tears, remembrances and celebrations. In much of the advertising for this event there is a great deal mentioned about the valuable support generated from this event to fund projects through the hospital foundation that provide medical equipment to support breast cancer patients at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. This is truly wonderful and has a positive impact on a lot of people in our community who hold out hope for a cure. What is less known is that a smaller portion of the funds go to support the work of Nanaimo Hospice in our community and we want everyone to know how grateful we are to the dragon boat festival board for its willingness to recognize the valuable work of hospice in providing support to individuals and families impacted by breast cancer when cure is no longer possible. Thank you to the dragon boat festival for supporting Hospice – it makes a positive difference in

our community and means more to us than we can say. And a special thanks to everyone involved in this wonderful event that brings hundreds of people from out of town to our fair city every year.

Wendy Pratt executive director Nanaimo Community Hospice

Fundraisers help team play in provincial cup To the Editor,

The Harbour City Football Club U13 girls’ soccer team qualified for B.C. Soccer’s provincial A cup in Langley. The players not only kept busy practising, but they also have been doing a lot of fundraising. They did a team bottle drive and a run-a-thon around Westwood Lake. Both fundraisers were very successful. The players would also like to say a special thank you to the following gold level sponsors who donated $200 or more to the team directly: Koers & Associates Engineering Ltd., Harbour City Football Club, Upper Island Soccer Association, Darshy Bligh Investment Advisor, TD Asset Management, Invesco Canada Ltd., Russell Investments Canada Ltd., HSBC, Save-On-Foods.

Home Depot helps build duplex

COMPaNY gIVeS to charity group.

The Home Depot Canada Foundation is helping Habitat for Humanity build homes in Nanaimo for people in need. The foundation recently presented Habitat for Humanity Mid-Vancouver Island with a grant for $30,000 to help

build the duplex project, located at 553 and 555 Prideaux St. “We are very grateful for the grant from the Home Depot Canada Foundation to help keep this project moving,” said Teresa Pring, executive director for Habitat For Humanity central Vancouver Island. “This is our 13th and 14th home

that we have built for families, helping transform their lives through home ownership and giving their family the chance to break out of the renting cycle. The homes are a hand-up, not a handout, as our partner families must qualify for a mortgage and be able to maintain their new home.” Contruction on the duplex began in

HAFI adapts homes for B.C. seniors and people with disabilities

Brenda has always been an active woman. However, recent health issues including osteoarthritis in her left knee and losing kidney function have slowed her down. Her mobility is limited and she is now on dialysis three days a week. To adjust to her changed circumstances, Brenda sought help with her daily living activities. Part of that help came from the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program offered through BC Housing. Launched in January 2012, the HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently. Brenda applied for a new walk-in bathtub because she couldn’t safely get out of the tub on her own. Walk-in tubs include additional safety measures such as anti-slip floors, grab bars, and a very low step in. Home adaptations may also include handrails in halls or stairs, ramps for

easier access, easy-to-reach work and storage areas in the kitchen, lever handles on doors or faucets, walk-in showers, and bathtub grab bars and seats. Brenda is a strong advocate for the program and has even shared HAFI brochures with nurses in the renal unit where she undergoes dialysis. If you or someone you know is having difficulty performing day-to-day activities safely and independently – the HAFI program may be able to help. Since the program began, more than 300 households completed renovations with HAFI financial assistance, making it possible for seniors and people with disabilities to continue to live in the safety and comfort of their home.

The inaugural tour is July 20-21 and features nearly 30 artists of different mediums including performance artists. “We have so many people here it’s quite an exciting little adventure to see how

it turns out,” said Gabriola’s Sheila Norgate. “I think it’s really important to have an opportunity for emerging artists. We really want to make this a tradition and build a reputation.” Norgate said it provides an opportunity for not only art appreciators but other artists to connect to a community because many work for extended periods in isolation. Christine Bletcher, coorganizer of the tour, said the event allows people

involved to highlight the rich culture of artistry on the island at a time when there are typically more visitors. The three organizers Bletcher, Kate Wood and Bryan McCrae have worked hard to invite artists from around Vancouver Island to showcase their work at studios. The event also features artists from the Lower Mainland and other coastal islands in B.C. “It’s terrific to bring more attention to the fact that there are so many artists

Her studio is open year-round by appointment, but there are other artists where this is the only chance to view their creative spaces. For silversmith Hayden Har vey the tour is a chance for her to create more awareness about

her work. She said it provides a great opportunity for both established and emerging artists to connect with people and share their passion. She’s been making jewelry for five years and her work will be on display at The Siren Collective. Most of her pieces are inspired by nature. “I really connect to the ocean and forest and I love looking back at more traditional designs too,” she said. “A lot of it is organic it just comes with sketches.”

Pieces start out pretty rough, but in the end something beautiful emerges. “I love making jewelry. I’ve always been drawn to it,” said Harvey. “I like the hands-on aspect.” The Summer Breeze Studio Cruise on Gabriola Island is self-guided.

Music students find their groove in New Orleans I VIU GROUP sees Bourbon Street jazz.

By Marilyn assaf When Jon Bauer moved to Nanaimo, B.C. from For t M c M u r r a y, A l t a . to study music, he never dreamed the journey would lead him all the way to New Orleans. Bauer was among 17 Vancouver Island University students who recently participated in a two-week field school called Finding Community, New Orleans-style. The interdisciplinary field school, led by faculty members Stephen Burr, hospitality management; Steve Jones, music studies; and Tom Delamere, recreation and tourism management, immersed students in the meaning of community through music, food, culture, customs, and examined how New Orleans has rebuilt after Hurricane Katrina. “Students discovered the community of New Orleans is unique,” said Burr. “Beauty and decay, excess and conservatism – these dichotomies have always existed in New Orleans and have been sharply underscored since the flood.” Students witnessed the disparity of poverty, substandard housing, inferior education and gun violence among the African-American population. They also had the opportunity to see that same community rally with grassroots organizations that are determined to rebuild their homes and families, and continue to honour their culture, music and customs. According to Burr, 80 per cent of the New Orleans population is native-born, and customs are multi-generational and deeply ingrained. “This field school was an eye-opening experience,” said Bauer, who begins his fourth year of VIU’s bachelor of music in jazz studies next September. “I learned more than if I had gone to New

Orleans on my own. We participated in some amazing activities that immersed us in the local culture. This has given me memories I will never forget.” New Orleans is a proud city, and its culture is embedded in the people, added Bauer. “Though they may be faced time and

time again with natural disaster, the community feeling of New Orleans only grows stronger,” he said. “The community made us feel so welcome that many of us didn’t want to leave.” The group spent a day at Jazz Fest, which set the tone for the field school, as New Orleans is all about music – on

the streets and in the clubs. Bauer says a major highlight was participating in a parade in an area known as the French Quarter, led by Dave Hansen, VIU alumnus and current New Orleans resident and musician. “We were dancing and playing instruments with some of New Orleans’ fin-

The group also participated in guided tours of Algiers Point, a historical settlement across the Mississippi River from New Orleans, accessed by foot ferry; tours of Laura Plantation, an intact Creole sugar cane plantation and tours of the Old U.S. Mint, home to the New Orleans Jazz Club collection. Students also spent two days volunteering with an organization called Rebuilding Together, cleaning up tainted drywall residue on a home in the Lower Ninth Ward. “It was very hard, hot

work, but many students considered this a highlight, as they met the owner of the home,” said Burr. Food is also an important part of what creates a community. During the field school, students tried gumbo, jambalaya, alligator, poboys, local seafood, beignets, muffalettas, and may have tried a local Abita beer or two. “It was a great learning experience and the students enthusiastically engaged in a full itinerary, and created their own community,” said Burr. For Bauer, memories of New Orleans and its music will never be far from his mind. “I can’t wait to go back,” he said.

You can often find musicians going down Bourbon Street, in the heart of one of New Orleans’ oldest neighborhoods. As our group paraded around the corner, the entire community around us joined in. People came to dance, and sing, and take pictures. It was great,” said Hansen.

Theatre company seeks new scripts TheatreOne is currently planning the 201314 Emerging Voices series and seeks scripts to use in the upcoming season. Emerging Voices is a series of staged readings that highlight Canadian plays by local playwrights. The aim of the series is to allow emerging writers to have an avenue to have their plays workshopped and performed. This year TheatreOne is working with Nicolle Nattrass as the associate artist/dramaturge. Nattrass said she in a press release she was honoured to be asked to work on the project. She was involved in the Emerging Voices series in the past as an actor and a playwright. Her play Good House-keeping was featured in the series in 2009 and 2010. Nattrass said she knows firsthand the need and importance of opportunities for writers to hear their work read aloud in front of an audience. Emerging Voices offers the playwright that chance and helps develop new Canadian plays. “It is my hope that the Emerging Voices program serves the playwright to develop further and closer to a production ready play,” said Nattrass. Submitted plays must not have received a professional production. Anyone interested in the opportunity to be involved in Emerging voices can e-mail ev@theatreone.org. Events are scheduled for next spring.

Roller derby treats games as a big deal

BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

Roller derby matches can be pretty few and far between, so when it’s game on, it’s a big deal. The Nanaimo Brass Knuckles Derby Dames and the Nanaimo Candy Crushers junior team have bouts scheduled for this Saturday (July 13). It’s the second doubleheader of the season for the program – the teams were both victorious at the Nanaimo Ice Centre back in May. Amanda (Miss B Haven) Gould, a Brass Knuckles player and the coach of the Candy Crushers, said it’s hard to organize bouts with the scarcity of floor time and all the officials and planning required. But the Brass Knucks are determined. “Everybody’s got the same direction; everybody’s working towards the same goal and it’s really been fantastic,” she said. The co-ed junior team is also becoming stronger, as more girls – and a few boys – are deciding to try the niche sport. Gould said derby can suit most any body type. “I don’t fit into the typical sports category; I’m not a runner,” she said. “That’s why derby’s great for me and I find that with the kids, too.” Not many roller derby teams are co-ed which makes finding bouts even more difficult, but Gould

said she’s determined to let the boys play if they want to. Even if the players don’t get regular bouts, they’re practising and bonding and improving. “The juniors are positional blocking only, although they’re starting to get a little bit rougher out there,” said the coach. In Saturday’s main-event bout between the Brass Knuckle Derby Dames and

4337 Boban Drive, Nanaimo

Maple Ridge’s Haney Hooligans, there will be more hitting and more strategy, said Gould. For those who haven’t seen the sport live, she said, it can be faster and more physical than they might expect. “You’ll hear that at the end of the game, ‘Oh, that hit you did on so-and-so, it was awesome,’” she said.

Quickfacts CANDY CRUSHERS will scrimmage with a mixed Island team Saturday (July 13) at 6:45 p.m. at the Nanaimo Ice Centre. The Brass Knuckles will take on the Haney Hooligans at 9 p.m. ADMISSION $10 or free for kids 10 and under.

The Coastal Timbermen are going to have to win a lot of games down the stretch, so they might as well start now. The Nanaimo Timbermen senior A lacrosse team plays the Langley Thunder on Saturday (July 13) at Frank Crane Arena, then visits the Maple Ridge Burrards on Sunday. The T-men (4-9) are coming off a tough one-goal loss to the Burrards last weekend. “There’s still reasons to be optimistic. Unfortunately the loss does hurt our standings,” said Kaleb Toth, the team’s coach. “But it still didn’t change the fact that we need to win.” He suggested that Nanaimo probably needs to win four of its last five to get into the playoffs, but said even three out of five could be enough depending on results on the out-of-town scoreboard. The T-men are a young team, he said, but they’re figuring

out what leads to wins and losses in the Western Lacrosse Association. “Guys are realizing if they do listen and follow the systems and follow what we’re doing, success is inevitable,” Toth said. That said, the team will be trying to pull off a pair of upsets this weekend. The Thunder are the league’s best defensive team by a wide margin and the Burrards are the secondhighest-scoring team. Toth said the T-men will try to fast-break the Thunder and get goals on transition, and will try to win the special teams battle against the Burrards. “Guys are still optimistic, still positive that we can do it,” said the coach. “It’s just going to come down to playing mistake-free lacrosse. It’s the little things.” GAME ON … The T-men host the Thunder Saturday at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena. Admission is $12 for adults, $10 for seniors and students and $5 for children five and up. It’s the second-to-last home game of the season for the T-men. Their final home date at Frank Crane is July 27 versus the Burrards. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Breakers come close to B.C. medal The Nanaimo Breakers almost had a chance to go for gold, but the ump decided they played a little too rough. The U19 fastpitch softball team placed fourth at the Softball B.C. championships at North Delta this past weekend. The Breakers ended off their playoff run with a remarkable quarterfinal matchup with the Cloverdale Rampage. The Breakers got down 7-2, battled back to take an 8-7 lead, then went into the last inning tied 8-8. With

a Rampage runner on third and one out, Breakers centrefielder Marika Grubac made an outstanding diving catch and threw home for an apparent double play on the baserunner. Instead, the Breakers catcher was called for plate obstruction, ending the Nanaimo team’s medal hopes. Mike Oldfield, who coached the squad along with Cory Vey and Darlene Dorman, congratulated the team on a “great job” at the provincial championships.

Simms wins B.C. Bike Race Nanaimo’s Wendy Simms kept her crown at one of mountain biking’s most challenging races. Simms won the women’s overall title this month at the B.C. Bike Race, a seven-stage race covering single-track mountain bike trails from Cumberland to Whistler. There was no Nanaimo leg as part of this year’s race, though Dave Howells, marketing manager of the race, said it could be a part of a future BCBR. UST NOT J R YOU E AG V A ER YARD! R E LUMB

“There really is some great riding there,” he said, but noted that in small towns the trails tend to be situated closer to downtown. “So for the riders, they’re like, ‘Wow, this is amazing to have these trails right close by…’ and it’s a really excellent experience for them,” Howells said. “Not that Nanaimo wasn’t, but the Nanaimo venue that was used [in 2010] was a little bit out of town.” For more results and info, visit www.bcbikerace.com.

Nanaimo News Bulletin Thursday, July 11, 2013

A Bouquet of sunflowers to the new high school graduate who helped entertain my three-year-old son in the emergency department. Although it was clear you were unwell, you took the time help me entertain and administer “medicine,” even offering him your phone to play Ant Smasher when mine died. The wait would have been much more tedious without you. You chose a perfect profession – children will be lucky to have you as their teacher.

the Most BeAutIful Bouquet of troPIcAl flowers to the staff, parents and children of McGirr Elementary School for another wonderful year of learning.

A truck full of roses to Craftsman Collision on Dickinson Road and all of the staff members there, especially Garry, Shane, Phil and Janet, for the help when I brought you my broken Subaru Outback. With your personal and practical solutions to every problem, you went out of your way literally. And thanks also to Melodie at ICBC for lessening the impact of my first accident with patience, understanding and a smile.

A BrooM-fIlled Bouquet to whoever is responsible for removing the Scotch broom from the Cinnabar Valley area. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

A Bouquet to homeowners who allow native species of plants to grow wild in their yards. Native species require less water and special care and are generally hardier than exotic plants. Homeowners who plant grass, fertilize, water and then cut it with a mower are wasting our natural resources. A huge thAnk you to members of Royal Canadian Legion Branch 257 for organizing activities during the annual Legion Week campaign to recognize our legions and their part in helping our veterans. Dances, games, high teas and barbecues were only a part of it. A special mention to Laurette and Kathy.

A huge Bouquet to April, Sameera, Jemima, Monty, Otis and Jonah for your lemonade stand in support of the Justin Smith Coin Drive. We are forever grateful for your kindness and generosity.

A huge Bouquet of thAnk yous to Classic Care for the great job they did on the floors at the Nanaimo 7-10 Club. It was said that the floors were so clean, you could eat off of them. thAnk you to Daryl and Trojan Collision staff for standing by their word upon the decision from ICBC regarding my collision claim. It has been a difficult process and your support was much appreciated. A huge Bouquet of thAnks to the women who stopped to help me when I fell off my bicycle on Northfield Road. Also thanks to the gentleman who helped me get my bike chain back on. You both are people who make Nanaimo a great place to live. A Bouquet of tAll sunflowers to all of the people in this city who care about local issues and are willing to donate their own time for the benefit of all.

A Beef. Downtown Nanaimo has some of the worst sidewalks, including loose bricks and uneven sidewalks in some areas, making it dangerous for pedestrians. The city really needs to look into this. A rAnt to city council or the entity responsible for not doing more to stop the spread of Scotch broom. Have you seen the Parkway in the summer? A Beef to the people who cut me off two days in a row in their haste to get to the dollar store. I understand that you really need your $1 Kreft barbecue sauce and your $1 box of Frosted Flecks cereal, but please try to drive safely. A Beef to the person who has a problem with honour roll bumper stickers. With so many youths underachieving, we should take pride in those who excel in any area. A Beef to the beefer who accused someone of stealing rabbits. No one stole your long-eared rats; no one wants your long-eared rats. They ran away from you and I can’t say I blame them.

gIAnt Bouquets to the playground program leaders at Mansfield Park for inspiring kids to be active, outside and engaged with each other face-to-face. Real world play is so much better than video games.

A Bouquet for Island Clean Exterior Cleaning, specifically Merry, Tim and Chris, for going above and beyond in making sure our windows were to our liking. They are a great asset to the business. I recommend them highly.

A Beef to city council for giving thousands of dollars to the Downtown Nanaimo Business Improvement Association and Nanaimo Arts Council while increasing fees for using recreation centres.

A Bouquet to the lovely owners of Pacific Rim Bicycle. They were non-intimidating and made time to do a quick adjustment on my bike. And they didn’t even want to charge me for it.

A Bouquet to the young lady working at a south end store. You kept your cool and dealt with a rude customer in a professional manner. And a huge beef to the rude customer. You have no right to treat anyone in that manner. Perhaps you should buy a pair of reading glasses so that you area able to read the flyer completely and correctly. A beef to the store manager as well. This customer is rude to the cashiers on a regular basis and has even yelled at them. I suggest you ask her to take her business elsewhere. Your employees do not deserve this.

A Beef to some people who came to my house when I was not at home. Get some professional help from a higher-up health authority.

A Bouquet of tIger lIlIes And cAttAIls to the young man who, after finding my passport and fishing licence at Tim Hortons, returned it at his own expense. Bless you for your kindness and thoughtfulness. A Bouquet of coMPAssIon to the staff at Kiwanis Lodge for the wonderful care given to our mother in her last year of life. You really treat everyone like family. The comfort cart was a nice touch. A sPecIAl Bouquet to Quality Foods at Northridge Centre for sponsoring the youth hotdog sale as part of our fundraiser to support Operation Christmas Child. The event was a great success. A big thank you to Adam and Jason at QF for their help, donations of the food and drink and their friendly attitude. We truly appreciate all you did.

A Beef to all fast food restaurants that put soap in their washrooms that stinks so bad you don’t want to wash your hands with it. When you do you can’t get the smell off and your hands stink for hours afterward.

A stIcky fIngers Beef to a senior for switching price stickers. Do you think that even clearance prices are too high? At least three of us spent our time helping you. Shame on you. A shAMe-on-you Beef to city council regarding the decision to destroy the dams at Colliery Dam Park even though so many want to save them. But that matters not to the five who voted in favour. They are in power and they don’t care what citizens want. Is this democracy?

A growlIng Beef to the young man at the dog park bragging about his dog catching a rabbit and taking a chunk out of it. What’s next, the neighbours’ cats? Grow up and show some compassion.

New Accord seems to strike the right chord I HONDA PACKS a lot into 2013 mid-size sedan. BY JIM ROBINSON

hat’s in a name can be everything and that certainly applies to Honda’s Accord. Now in its ninth generation, the 2013 Accord, like Civic, is a name people not only associated with Honda, but trust and the sales records over the decades prove that’s why they keep coming back again and again. I had forgotten the Accord was the first Japanese car built in North America. Honda has a huge presence on the continent now to the point it really is a domestic maker. But in recent years the Accord has started to flag against increasingly stiff competition in the mid-size market coming from all sides. So for 2013, Honda has upgraded just about everything on the car, but has retained the core values of what I call “Hondaness” meaning substantial build quality and engineering along with the best materials and technology owners know will stand them in good stead when it is time to trade in or end a lease. Accord will be offered in sedan and coupe formats with a choice of engines, but for this story we will stick with the sedans, the Sport model in particular. It is built on the base LX, but adds a number

The Honda Accord, the first Japanese car to be built in North America, is now in its ninth generation with the 2013 model – Sport trim shown – that continues to be a consumer favourite.

of extras starting with the engine. While the LX has the same 2.4-litre, direct injection, DOHC inline four-cylinder with 185 horsepower, the Sport improves that slightly to 189hp due mainly to a larger exhaust, which lessens back pressure. A six-speed manual transmission is standard while a continuously variable transmission is an option that includes steering wheel mounted paddle shifters. Increasingly, CVTs are proving more frugal than manuals or automatics which is why the shift to CVTs is becoming more prevalent.

The proof is in fuel efficiency with the CVT rated at 7.8 litres per 100 kilometres in the city and5.5L/100km on the highway compared to 8.7L/100km in the city and 5.7/100km on the highway for the manual. This is due to Honda’s technology and weight reduction of its engines and transmissions. The engines now have reduced friction plus improved torque, while the available transmissions enhance acceleration and responsiveness through improvements such as wider ratios and sporty shift programming.

better appreciate what is going on is Econ Plus Eco Assist modes and the Econ button. When the driver pushes the button, it automatically adjusts the engine and other auxiliary systems from efficient to ultraefficient. The best part of all this was being able to call up my fuel use performance on the eight-inch centre-dash monitor that recorded my L/100 km average. This not only served as a “coach” but also a finger-wagger when I went above the 10L/100km line. The bonus was the readout is so big, I never had to turn my

eyes off the view of the road ahead to see the numbers at a glance. Like most of the modern CVTs I drive now, they function without the “rubber-banding” effect we used get when you tromped the pedal to pass, but the engine/ CVT had to build up to speed. While classified as a mid-size sedan, it really is a large car especially in the back seat with Honda claiming it has the largest rear passenger volume in the segment while the trunk is increased to 447 litres, up 50 litres from the 2012 model even though the 2013 is 80 millimetres shorter.

I mentioned an eightinch display and it packs a lot of information into it including allowing the driver to receive text messages and e-mails with the driver able to answer back with preset replies, something I personally would never do as I think there is a driver distraction limit regardless of the technology. What I did like, besides the fuel history is trip range and phone information, including bilingual Bluetooth. Styling looks a bit more edgy then previously, but it was done to reduce drag. The Sport has its own 17-inch alloy wheels along with fully independent suspension, which, as you’d expect, has that sporty Honda feel. Another bonus is the inclusion of hill holder assist, a feature other brands are starting to adopt. Lastly, I liked the iPod-like click wheel grafted into the right spoke of the steering wheel, making it super simple to use instead of rocker switches. The 2.4-litre is a gutsy engine giving the driver the sense that most of the torque is real, not just part of the advertising copy. The 2013 Accord, no matter which of the nine four-cylinder or V6 models one chooses, is the distillation of almost four decades of providing the kind of sedan buyers want. Once again it looks like Honda has hit the right Accord with consumers.

Be careful with kids on board Child car safety means more than just a â€˜baby on boardâ€™ sign in the rear window. Supplemental child restraints should be used by all children through age eight according to a study in the U.S. Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. The study found that even though most children up to age three were protected properly, almost half of the children killed were under age five and completely unrestrained in the vehicle. Child safety seats can reduce the risk of fatal injury by 71 per cent for infants and 54 per cent for toddlers in passenger cars.

Canadian plant constructs Impala cars Production of Chevroletâ€™s flagship model, the 2014 Impala, is underway at GMâ€™s Oshawa Assembly Plant. It is built on GMâ€™s state-of-the-art flexible manufacturing line along with the Chevrolet Camaro, Buick Regal and Cadillac XTS. Seen during a recent tour of the plant by Canadian autowriters, the â€œflex lneâ€? allows any combination of the four cars to come down the line making it possible to see an Impala followed by a Camaro and that followed by a Cadillac and another Impala. â€œThe all-new Impala demonstrates the new direction of Chevrolet,â€? said Kevin Williams, president of GM Canada. â€œOur employees in Oshawa have executed a flawless plan

in bringing this iconic nameplate to life. â€œThe newly-redesigned Impala will exceed customersâ€™ expectations because of the hard work and dedication of our employees.â€? Chevroletâ€™s latest MyLink radio debuts in the 2014 Impala.

The in-vehicle entertainment system adds an eight-inch color display screen that is customizable. The system also adopts natural voice recognition â€“ a first for Chevy. The 2014 Impala has several new features, including adap-

tive cruise control and crash-avoidance technologies like rear cross traffic alert and side blind zone alert. Ten standard airbags are included as well â€“ among the most in the segment. The flex line is located beside what is known as the con-

solidated line that builds the Chevrolet Equinox and the older model Impala which is still sold in the U.S. to mostly fleet customers. Together, both lines produced 394,094 vehicles in 2012. The flex line puts out 1,056 vehicles a day.

Bruce’s Pick! 2013 Honda CRV

Toy cars were never this cool. Automakers like Toyota and Porsche are realizing that drivers don’t even need to have their learner’s licence to start having fun on four wheels. Toyota presented the Camatte57s, a sporty, open-top family-focused concept car, in the colourful surroundings of the Kids’ Life Zone at the recent Tokyo Toy Show. The body is made up of 57 small, lightweight, detachable panels that can be finished in a wide choice of different colours and designs. The pedals and seats can be adjusted so that even children can drive. The position of the righthand rear seat will let adults help with steering and braking, so the youngsters can

Electric cars getting faster Electric cars don’t necessarily dawdle. A new unofficial world land-speed record for an electric vehicle was set recently, as Paul Drayson was behind the wheel of the Drayson B12 69/ EV electric Le-Mans Prototype that reached 328.7 kilometres per hour, subject to final confirmation. In near perfect conditions at Elvington Airfield in England, the Oxford, U.K.-based sustainable motorsport company smashed the previous 281.8km/h record, which had stood for nearly 40 years. “I’m delighted we beat the record … and can show the world EVs can be fast and reliable,” Drayson said. Drayson Racing is a research and development business, pioneering the development of sustainable technologies in the challenging environment of motorsport. With the electric land speed record it intends to showcase what is possible with an electric drivetrain and underscore Britain’s leadership position in the EV industry.

Antony John (Tony) January 5, 1917 ~ June 18, 2013

Tonyâ€™s remarkable 96 years closed peacefully at his home in Nanaimo on June 18, 2013. He was born near Hailsham, Sussex, England on January 5, 1917 to William and Julia Hornby. Along with his brother Peter and sisters Betty and Barbara, he spent his childhood in England before the family moved to Lacombe, Alberta, eventually settling on the west coast of BC. Tony served with the Canadian forces throughout WWII in England as a dispatch rider, and in occupied Germany after the war. He returned to Canada and married his beloved wife Margot in Victoria on August 20, 1949. They shared 52 wonderful years together, beginning in Campbell River where their daughter Christine and son Paul were born. They moved to Victoria, then to Nanaimo, where they spent the remainder of their lives. Amongst an extraordinary variety of talents, skills and occupations throughout his life, Tony will be remembered locally in the marine and logging industries. He travelled extensively across Canada as a factory representative for Remington Arms, was involved with Bastion Distributors, managed Woodland Supplies, and owned and operated Hornby Distributors, and Hornby Canopies.
