isitors to the 2013 Vancouver Island Exhibition can expect to fare well with a weekend packed with down-home country fair activities, food and entertainment. VIEX 2013 happens this weekend at the Beban Park fair grounds. With a 119-year history of focusing on family entertainment while showcasing Island farming practices and products, the fair theme for 2013 is, “Proud of the Past, Poised for the Future.” Highlights for this year’s VIEX include a huge lineup of musical entertainment ranging from local to national country, folk and rock talent culminating with a performance by Saturday night’s headliner The Trews. Spectators can lean up on a fence rail to get up

close to Island Barrel Racing Club action when members showcase their horseback riding skills while promoting this form of equestrian competition. For the first time this year, international logger sport competition is coming to Nanaimo, drawing competitors from across Canada, the U.S. and Europe who will pit their skills against each other and the clock. “This is going to be fantastic, high energy,” said Don Boyd, VIEX president. “With guys competing – there’s a big difference when you have somebody just in it for giggles – this is actually for the standings. They’re competing hard. It’s not just a show.” For high speed hobbyists, Notorious RC will be back on track with hobby-grade race cars that can hit top speeds of 100 km/h and break the speed limit on any road in town. u See ‘LIVESTOCK’ /4

The region’s murky picture of river health will begin to clear for the first time this year thanks to a network of volunteer water testers. Volunteer stewards with the Nanaimo Regional District’s watershed monitoring program are out in full force this month, tracking the turbidity and temperature of area waterways in an attempt to discover the state of watersheds. The results will offer regional officials their first in-depth look into the health of rivers and what could be affecting them. Until 2011, the province had only been monitoring the health of three Nanaimoarea rivers because of limited resources, leaving countless others with little or no monitoring. Experts said the lack of widespread oversight left the RDN with a murky picture of just how well managed and protected its watersheds were and the effect its growing population could be having on fish habitat and water quality. Three years ago the district put the responsibility of monitoring into the hands of local stewardship groups

with the help of the province – creating the first initiative of its kind on Vancouver Island. Upwards of 30 water courses have been monitored so far and enough information has been gathered for the B.C. government to spot emerging trends this year. “This is an important year because we are going to start seeing the picture [of stream health] develop,” said Mike Donnelly, the regional district’s manager of water services. “In fact, this is the first time such a comprehensive approach has been taken. This hasn’t been seen anywhere else.” Regional district officials say the goal is to collect as much data as possible on the state of waterways to make it easier to create policies needed to protect watersheds and spot problems early on. The regional population has been growing by an average three per cent each year, but until now there has been little information on the effect the trend has had on waterways and what – if anything – the district can do to preserve its water quality, Donnelly said. “We have all been hoping to ... see a smoking gun right away, but we need the data first,” he said. The district’s volunteers have been tracking the cloudiness, temperature and oxygen levels in a number of area waterways, including 14 this year. u See ‘MONITORING’ /4

What does a girl wear to a Kidney Walk? Missy Gollan, a kidney disease patient, checks out what she has on hand at work in preparation for her first Kidney Walk supporting the Kidney Foundation of Canada, which happens Sunday (Aug. 18) at Maffeo Sutton Park.

a dragon boat paddle paralleling the walk/run course. Registration starts at 9 a.m. with a walk start time of 10 a.m. About 60 people took part who raised about $15,000 in last year’s event. “It’s kind of a movement for the Kidney Foundation to raise awareness and get people talking openly about organ donation,” Gollan said.

awareness about kidney disease and the need to get more people to sign up as organ donors. “Ninety per cent of people agree with organ transplants,” Gollan said. “But only 13 per cent actually sign up to become organ donors.” Annual Kidney Walks raise funds for critical services and programs for kidney disease patients and help raise awareness about the importance of organ donation. This year’s event in Nanaimo includes a 2.5-kilometre walk and five km fun run from Maffeo Sutton Park and back along the waterfront, plus

Umbrella loan aims to cut cancer risk Beach umbrellas will be on loan at a popular Nanaimo lake next year, as advocates try to sway more families to seek shade. The Canadian Cancer Society and City of Nanaimo plan to test out a new initiative at Westwood Lake next summer, that allows people to borrow beach umbrellas. The initiative is part of a growing effort to make shade easier to find in public parks and remind people about the importance of protecting against ultraviolet rays. According to the Canadian Cancer Society people don’t always remember to take steps to limit exposure to the sun. A 2006 national sun survey revealed only 58 per cent of women and 42 per cent of men bother to block UV rays. As a result, skin cancer continues to be the No. 1 most common cancer in the country, with 87,000 Canadians diagnosed with the disease last year. The Nanaimo branch of the cancer society says an umbrella program could help reduce skin cancer by giving people more options to enjoy the sun safely. A similar initiative rolled out at beaches in Kelowna and the Lower Mainland earlier this summer proved popular. Ten umbrellas will be available next year on the beach for people to borrow. The city will store the structures and pay half the cost to purchase and brand them – about $175. It’s a reasonable investment to improve offerings at the beach, according to the city’s aquatic manager. Laara Clarkson said she’d hoped to see umbrellas on the beach as soon as this year, but they couldn’t be manufactured in time. “We already have a loan program for lifejackets [at Westwood]...this is another [way] we can offer to keep our patrons safe,” she said. Julie Hayos, health promotion coordinator for the cancer society’s Vancouver region, said not one umbrella went unused in Kelowna and the Lower Mainland during the pilot project, and hopes to see more of them available on public beaches. “If you went to a resort somewhere in Mexico or Europe, you’d see umbrellas available to rent at the beach,” she said. Until now, the City of Nanaimo and Canadian Cancer Society have focused efforts on educating city employees about the importance of protecting against too much sun. This is the first time the joint message will go to the general public, according to cancer society volunteer Annie Liu. “I’m most excited about the effect it will hopefully have on our community ... and the incidents of skin cancer,” she said of the program. Umbrellas could be offered at other beaches if the initiative proves successful.

issy Gollan will take part in her first kidney walk this coming weekend. The 2013 Kidney Walk for the Kidney Foundation of Canada, when it happens Sunday (Aug. 18) at Maffeo Sutton Park, will hold special significance for Gollan, 44, who underwent a kidney transplant operation to receive a kidney donated by her mother. “I’ve been challenged by kidney disease for many years,” said Gollan, who received the kidney in April 2006. Few treatments are available for kidney disease other than dialysis, which requires regular visits to a kidney dialysis unit to clear toxins from the blood. Because damage by various causes of kidney disease is rarely reversible, a kidney transplant operation is currently the best form of long-term treatment. Since her mother was the donor, Gollan said she did not have to wait that long for a transplant operation, but many patients wait years for a donor while some will die waiting for a transplant. There is no cure for kidney disease. It’s undetectable in its early stages. It has increased by about 60 per cent in the past 10 years and now affects about one in 10 Canadians. More than 250,000 British Columbians have chronic kidney disease and many spend up to 20 hours per week on dialysis just to stay alive. There are currently about 380 people in B.C. on the kidney transplant waitlist. Numerous factors and causes contribute to kidney disease including high blood pressure and diabetes. The cause of Gollan’s kidney disease is unknown, but whatever it is is now affecting the kidney she received from her mother. “Right now I’m working hard to get longevity out of the transplanted organ,” Gollan said. Gollan said she has not taken part in previous kidney walks because she was away or had other commitments that had to be met. This year she is able to make to the commitment to the walk. She has the time, energy and is passionate about raising

Monitoring helps detect problems u From /1 According to the RDN, the data is logged into a database and compared to the Ministry of Environment’s provincial water quality guidelines to see if the quality of water has changed. Temperatures that are too hot, for example, could damage fish habitat. Ten stewardship groups including the Nanaimo Area Land Trust and Nanoose-Lantzville Streamkeepers will be spending the next five weeks gathering information on waterways with the help of close to $3,000 from Island Timberlands. Nanaimo River, the Cat Stream and Departure Creek will be among the courses charted this season. The B.C. government says this is the first initiative of its kind on the Island, but expects other jurisdictions will pick up on the community-based monitoring.

Dawn Keim, the district’s drinking water and watershed protection coordinator, said its difficult for community leaders to make any meaningful decisions without a solid understanding of local ground and surface water quality. This “progressive initiative” can help, especially if volunteers continue to help track the state of local rivers and build a trend database over the long term, she said. “Increased monitoring directly increases your chance of detecting when there’s a problem [so you can employ] mitigation activities to protect the population and ecosystems and improve the overall health of watersheds,” Keim said. “The drinking water and watershed protection program was developed for that reason.” news@nanaimobulletin.com

Student hosts charity picnic Kennedy Baker’s ongoing quest to stomp out hunger will hit another milestone Saturday (Aug. 17). That’s when her community picnic for Nanaimo’s disadvantaged takes place. Baker is using money awarded to her through Coastal Community Credit Union’s Scholarship Program to provide a home-cooked meal, entertainment and a gift bag of essentials to those in Nanaimo struggling with poverty, hunger, mental illness and homelessness. She hopes to help 150 individuals through her Stomp Out Hunger picnic, happening this Saturday at Bowen Park.

“I have been focused on paying it forward and giving back to my community,” said Baker, in a letter to Coastal Community. “I truly believe what goes around comes around.” Baker was selected by the credit union to implement her community improvement idea, a part of the application process for its scholarship program. In addition to receiving a $1,500 scholarship and up to $1,000 to implement her community picnic, the Nanaimo student will also receive an additional $500 scholarship upon project completion. A graduate of Dover Bay

Secondary, Baker plans to study psychology at Vancouver Island University in the fall. Baker also hopes to grow her non-profit organization, STAND, which focuses on supporting Canadians living below the poverty line. Since its launch in 2005, Coastal Community’s popular Scholarship Program has awarded almost $200,000 to students across Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands, enabling more than a dozen students to implement their community projects. Information on the 2014 program will be available at www.cccu.ca in January.

Chamber of commerce seeks new executive The search is on for a new president and CEO of the Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce as Susan Allen will resign the position at the end of September to take on a managment job at Vancouver Island University. “Although I have enjoyed every moment working with the members, board and staff, the opportunity to add value to Vancouver Island University and continue to positively impact our com-

munity was the deciding factor in accepting this new challenge,” said Allen, in a press release. Odai Sirri, chamber of commerce chairman, said the organization didn’t expect to be looking for a new executive again after 16 months, but acknowledged the “incredible opportunity for herself and for the university.” “The time that Susan has led our organization is

marked by several successes and has helped the chamber frame some new concepts for its future,” Sirri said. Dave Witty, VIU provost and vice-president, as well as a chamber board member, said Allen will assist the university to transition the continuing education component into a major revenue generator for the university. Sirri said the chamber has no specific timeline to replace Allen.

Golf tournament supports MS Society Registration is underway for the fifth annual multiple sclerosis golf tournament but space is still available for more teams. The fight to end MS is personal for tournament directors Corinne and Al Jensen. “I was diagnosed with MS on my 28th birthday,” said Corinne Jensen, who has been living with MS for more than 20 years. “It’s essential that the hundreds of people living with MS in our community know that they can depend on the MS Society to help enhance their quality of life.” Through fundraising, the MS Society is able to provide support, information, educational events and other resources for people with MS and their families. Multiple sclerosis is a complex

and unpredictable disease affecting the central nervous system. Often diagnosed in young adults between 15 and 40, MS also affects children. MS can affect vision, hearing, memory, balance and mobility. Its effects are physical, emotional, financial, and last a lifetime. There is no cure for MS. Researchers supported by the MS Society are working to develop new and better treatments with the ultimate goal to find a cure for the disease. The Texas Scramble golf tournament will be held on Wednesday (Aug. 21) at Nanaimo Golf Club. Check-in begins at 11:30 a.m., with a shotgun start at 1:30 p.m. Cost is $150.

argument that Borden had two guns and that Dockerill ended up in possession of the 9-mm pistol that killed Borden after the two men struggled. Frank Dubenski, Crown counsel, described the case as a long and difficult one which included a police investigation that extended beyond the initial charges. “Ultimately the right decision was made to proceed with the weapons offence after it was determined that Dockerill was responding in self defence,” Dubenski said. “The Crown thought it was important, given that he must have come armed to the conflict that he should be prosecuted for that.” Dockerill faces a minimum mandatory sentence of three years in prison. “Although I haven’t come to a conclusion about what sentence I will ask for yet, the Crown will be seeking a significant sentence,” Dubenski said. Dockerill will appear in court Sept. 9 when a date will be fixed for sentencing. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

to be rescued,” Robinson said. “When the tug tried to help him out he got angry with them and when we tried to help he got angry with us, too.” Police on the scene suggest crews let the man, who had been in the water about 20 minutes, tire himself out before making further rescue attempts. He was thought to be reacting to a relationship break-up. The man swam to shore on Newcastle Island and fled into the woods. The search and rescue team ferried an RCMP K9 team over to the island where the dog and handler tracked down and arrested the suspect who had shed his clothes sometime after swimming ashore. The man was taken to Nanaimo Regional General Hospital and checked over before he was taken to Nanaimo RCMP detachment.

The District of Lantzville is interested in receiving proposals for the supply of one (1) Fire Service Rescue/Pumper Truck.

A man spotted swimming in Newcastle Channel was arrested after he allegedly threatened potential rescuers. Police were called at about 8:30 a.m. Monday when a man was reported in distress while swimming in Newcastle Channel near Stones Marina. Gordie Robinson, coxswain for Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue in Nanaimo, said a caller reported someone thrashing about in the water, so the assumption when his team responded was that it was a person in distress. The crew from the tug boat Denny II was trying to get the Australian man, who Robinson believed to be in his mid 20s, aboard when the search and rescue team arrived. “Their crew was trying to get him into the tug.

Survey says ... residents fairly satisfied with city I

“

ToP iSSuES include Colliery dams, development and municipal operations.

no matter how good things are, they can always be better.

By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN

anaimo residents gave the Harbour City top marks for quality of life in a new citizen satisfaction survey. A recently released Ipsos Reid Citizen Satisfaction Survey reports 93 per cent of people are happy with the quality of life, while another 91 per cent are satisfied with city services. Of the 300 interviewed, more than half thought they received fairly good value of their taxes and 66 per cent were OK with the way their municipal government runs. Top issues for people included the Colliery dams, growth and development and municipal government spending. While the report addresses some public views on city operations, it doesn’t say just how many people are unhappy with council and administration or how a minimal appetite for information could affect different report categories. Mayor John Ruttan says he is concerned with the number of people – about 40 per cent – who either say they have no information needs or don’t know what their needs are. Overall, however, the results seem to show opinions are generally unchanged, he said.

CHRIS BUSH/THe NewS BUlleTIN

Mary Miller, Barb Axness, Cassy Bowden and Stephanie Sandham run through a set of Tai Chi movements at the Lions Pavilion in Maffeo Sutton Park last month. Residents in Nanaimo are generally happy with the services and amenities provided by city hall.

“When you look at the quality of life we enjoy and the services available to the community – sports facilities, ice centre ... waterfront walkway – I think there is so much there,” he said. But he adds that there are times when a lot of what the city has accom-

plished has been overshadowed by the challenges it faces, like the fate of the Colliery dams. Those challenges are ones the city has to work to move past, he said. The satisfaction survey is performed each year for the City of Nanaimo to

gauge residents’ opinions on how well their city is functioning. City watcher Ron Bolin isn’t surprised the results lean to the positive. Not too many people are informed about what’s happening at city hall and wouldn’t tend to say they are dissatisfied unless they were put out on an issue at the moment, he said. “Sure it tells you people are not ... totally outraged and disgusted,” he said. “[But] no matter how good things are, they can always be better.” Bolin believes the city can do more to improve operations, including better transparency. The city has seen the departure of three top-level employees in the last year and there has been “nary a word from the city about it,” he said. The annual survey randomly selected Nanaimo residents over the age of 18 and carries an accuracy within 5.7 percentage points. news@nanaimobulletin.com

EDITORIAL

Football field needs a fix Game day wasn’t all it could have been last week at Nanaimo’s Caledonia Park. The worst junior football facility in Canada, as some call it, squeezed two teams into a couple of cramped changerooms and a tent. Electrical problems turned off the scoreclock. Instead of cheering on their team, football fans this week are crying out. They want a stadium. The Vancouver Island Raiders are a national-championship calibre club, easily Nanaimo’s second-highest-profile sports team. They deserve adequate facilities; it would be a bonus if they had the best. It’s easy to picture a newly renovated Caledonia Park. Think Saturday night games under the lights, in balmy weather, with a grandstand full of fans, adequate changerooms, washrooms and a concession. It’s easy to get carried away, too. So the scoreboard shorted out last Saturday. It doesn’t mean that the City of Nanaimo needs to build the biggest and best football stadium the league has ever seen. Raiders fans might be jealous of Victoria’s Bear Mountain Stadium, for example, and rightly so. Let’s not be blinded by jealousy, though. In a city our size, there are a limited number of big games that are going to fill the stands. There are always umpteen projects for a city to prioritize. It wasn’t long ago city councillors were looking to scrimp and save any money they could to ease the burden on taxpayers. There are dams to tear down, or repair, or build, after all. Or if we’re dreaming big, a multiplex opens up a whole bunch more entertainment possibilities than a football stadium, albeit at 10 times the cost. Both the Raiders and Nanaimo’s parks and rec department feel an urgency to improve the city’s primary football field. Let’s get Caledonia Park up to standard, up to snuff. Any more than that? Let’s make sure, first, that we’re going to be able to make the most of it.

There are a couple of reasons why this Prohibition-era structure persists. Liquor sales are a cash cow for provincial governments, and every case of wine brought in from elsewhere is lost profit for the provincial wholesale monopoly. Then there is the local industry lobby that would rather not add to its competition. Premier Christy Clark pressed this point at the recent premiers’ meeting in Ontario wine country, bringing in the maximum amount of B.C. wine allowed under Ontario rules and urging free trade in Canadian wine. The Toronto media drank it up, aghast that they were barred from ordering the latest Naramata Bench tipples directly. No movement so far from the Ontario government, in a province that has done well developing its own wine industry. The B.C. government will no doubt be lobbied again to allow beer and wine sales in grocery and convenience stores. Our politicians show little interest in that, which is understandable. The B.C. Liberals don’t want to upset the private liquor stores they have nurtured for a decade, and the NDP would never risk annoying the government liquor store union. u Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Cats seem to get special treatment

Post-secondary students need to think about jobs

I would be very interested to know if anyone could rationally explain to me why there is a blatant double standard as far as pet dogs and cats are concerned. Why does a dog need to be under control and on a leash anytime it is outside its yard while a cat can run free, mess in people’s flowerbeds, spray their doors and kill other creatures at will? I know someone will say, “Well, it’s a cat’s nature to hunt.” Right, I agree, but think of this: it is also a dog’s nature to hunt in a pack. Can you imagine what would happen if a pack of dogs were allowed to run free and kill anything in your neighbourhood? All heck

different when it comes to cats? They kill millions of birds and other creatures every year but for

some strange reason, that seems to be OK. Well, not OK as far as I am concerned and city hall

should change the rules and do something about it.

Community came together Let’s just build a fail-safe dam to preserve Colliery dams To the Editor, It was delightful to see Nanaimo city council and people from all over Nanaimo finally coming together at last week’s special council meeting as they agreed to work together and with Snuneymuxw First Nation staff on a strategy that will work for all concerned regarding Colliery Dams Park. As councillors pointed out towards the end of the meeting, we have many community leaders who have emerged from this long and often painful process of finding and recommending solutions. In addition, people have worked hard and diligently pro bono to save the Colliery Dam Park. It has been impressive to hear people’s presentations over the course of many months. It has also been strik-

ing regarding the effect of various speakers and their manner of addressing council. Those who gave positive, informative, and thoughtful presentations seemed to make inroads towards the desired goal whereas the occasional presentation that included put-downs, blame anf negative expression had an adverse effect – I think on all of us, no matter which side we were on. Fortunately, this exercise in communication and exploration has ended on a highly positive note. Nanaimo city council, SFN and the Colliery Dam Preservation Society deserve our gratitude and appreciation. May this collaboration continue well so that the very best solution is found for all residents.

Lynn Burrows Nanaimo

To the Editor, Would it make sense to build a robust catch-all structure below the existing dams, in case either existing dam fails? The benefit of this would be that the original dams would not be touched, and safety of homes

downstream would be assured with such a catch-all structure. And, if this is not feasible, what about just rebuilding the lower dam in such a manner that it would catch the spillage if the upper dam broke?

Notice of Public Consultation Liquid Waste Management Plan Amendment The Regional District of Nanaimo’s Liquid Waste Management Plan (LWMP) is a plan to support sustainable wastewater management in the RDN. This plan authorizes the RDN to find communitydriven and cost-effective solutions to protect public health and provide a standard level of wastewater treatment. A public LWMP amendment process is now underway. The LWMP amendment addresses the expansion of French Creek Pollution Control Centre and the mandatory upgrades of the Nanoose Bay Pollution Control Centre and Greater Nanaimo Pollution Control Centre for the provision of secondary wastewater treatment. If you have sewer service in the RDN, this amendment will affect your sewer user rates. The RDN will hold special public meetings to provide the public with the opportunity to review, ask questions about, and provide feedback on the proposed amendment. A public meeting will be held in your area on: Monday, August 26 Extension Community Hall 2140 Ryder Street Nanaimo, 6-8PM

Randle earns top cadet award Nanaimo cadet Clara Randle knows how to survive in adverse conditions. Randle, of 205 Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron in Nanaimo, learned how to react when emergency situations arise during her three-week basic survival course. The course teaches participants through hands on exposure to primitive outdoor living. It teaches them how to aid in a rescue and overcome conditions including hunger, isolation and how to push their personal boundaries. Randle received the Top Cadet Award for her flight (class) in basic survival. Only one cadet is chosen per class, and each class consists of about 25 cadets. Top candets demonstrated exemplary performance in their drill, dress, and deportment, and are considered to be team players in their flights. Randle was honoured with the award during a ceremonial parade at the Albert Head Air Cadet Summer Training Centre in Victoria in

July. She joined more than 190 air cades from throughout B.C. who were graduating. “I have never missed any of Clara’s performances, whether for dance or for cadets,” said Randle’s mother Nora. “I am very proud of her incredible achievements. Not only did Clara receive top marks at survival, but was appointed Flight Commander for the graduation parade, a honour that is awarded based on drill performance, an area not part of the survival course.” Randle joined the Air Cadet program in 2011. She was reading through a cadet brochure one day and it inspired her to become a pilot. The Cadet Program is the largest federally-sponsored youth program in Canada and includes the Royal Canadian Sea, Army and Air Cadets. Cadets are encouraged to become active, responsible members of their communities. For more information please visit www.cadets.ca.

Pianist determined to follow her dreams BY ROSEMARY PHILLIPS

anaimo’s Sarah Marie Wood is following her dreams. She’ll take centre stage at Maffeo Sutton Park for Summertime Pops by the Sea, Saturday (Aug. 17) at 6 p.m. to perform one of her own works – in full view of the audience. “I’ve been playing the Steinway grand at the Port Theatre these past 11 years for the Vancouver Island University convocation, but nobody sees me; I’m behind the curtain,” said Wood, a pianist and composer. As she approaches her 50s Sarah is determined more than ever to follow her dreams. To bring Wood and her talents out in the open, Ken Lavigne, Vancouver Island’s much loved tenor, and Calvin Dyck, concert-master for the Vancouver Island Symphony, invited her to join them for the free concert, which includes

the Abbotsford Youth Orchestra, members of the Vancouver Island Symphony and the Skipping Sensations. “I’m so grateful to Ken and Calvin for this opportunity,” she said. Wood is a single mother who in spite of adversities and challenges in life continues to follow her dream of a musical career. “I met Ken in Chemainus where I used to live and where I raised my son. Ken has really encouraged me in my music,” she said. Unlike many musicians who go through the stream of musical programs at university,Wood, who was classically trained but influenced by everything from Sondheim to Satie, has done it all on her own. “My family moved to Nanaimo in 1976 and my mother was hired as a music instructor at Malaspina Col-

lege. I took my first year at Malaspina then went to Vancouver where I played piano at a restaurant on Robson Street and at the Lonsdale Quay Hotel. On Fridays, after work at the Royal Bank Centre I went to play piano at the Hyatt. I moved back to the Island in 1990 where my son was born in 1994. Since then I’ve been parenting and writing music,” she said.

I was handed the recording and took it to Zak Cohen of Woodshop Recording Studios who said it was flawless as one track and easy to splice together as an album,” she said. Wood showcased her musical productions at the Port Theatre in 2011 to a sold-out audience. A video was made that evening of Sailing from Schooner Cove, which can be viewed on YouTube. She’ll perform the piece for Summertime Pops by the Sea. “It is an imaginary musical sailing odyssey that I composed in 2009 after a visit to the waterfront in Nanoose,” said Wood. Attendees are invited to bring along lawn chairs, blankets and picnics to Maffeo Sutton Park to enjoy the free concert.

Like many musicians, Wood has had to take all kinds of work to support herself, her son and her talent. “My son and I have been blessed over the years with support from friends and community, and more recently with assistance from Community Futures to help get my production-publishing company up and running,” said Wood. “This year we will be launching a stage piece entitled Take Off or Take the Fall.” In 2011, Wood won the Vancouver Island Music Award for best instrumental album for Ocean Tapestry. The album is a compilation of twelve original piano compositions born out of her preoccupation with coastal waters and bearing a hint of Broadway meeting the Pacific-Northwest ocean and rainforest. “The album was recorded on the Steinway behind the

Davey explores Shakespeare’s world of love By Rachel SteRn the news bulletin

Shakespeare’s words wear many guises. For veteran actor Garr y Davey the meaning of Shakespeare’s text has evolved as he’s grown older. Now in his 60s Davey is exploring some of the characters he has grown to love over the years. He’s sharing his interpretations during his one-man show, Shakespeare & Love, during the Gabriola Theatre Festival, Friday (Aug. 16) at 3 p.m. It all started when Davey took a workshop with voice coach David Smukler. Davey decided to take on a role he would never play on stage and chose Helena from A Midsummer

Night’s Dream. “It felt so freeing to take on a female character, to break away from conventions and old patterns of the male characters – and it encouraged me to look at them in a new light as well,” said Davey. Davey has been on the stage and screen for the past 25 years and appeared in many popular TV shows including The X Files, Cold Squad and Da Vinci’s Inquest. Davey’s play explores many themes related to love: the love of home, loss of love and comedy’s approach to love. “I want people to see and hear how accessible Shakespeare can be,” he said. Davey said the festival is a “brilliant

chance” for people on the island to see diverse work. The Gabriola Theatre Festival runs Friday to Sunday (Aug. 16-18) at Folklife Village. This year’s festival features 10 plays: Shakespeare & Love; Syphilis: A Love Story; World in a Flapp; The Amazing and Impermeable Cromoli Brothers; Underneath the Lintel; Lesbian Etiquette Part 2; Stationary: A Recession-

Era Musical; Shylock; Candide and Call Mr. Robeson. Shylock features Antony Holland, who has been performing for more than 70 years. Tickets are $20/$10 for attendees under 16 and for The World in a Flapp show. A threeshow pass is $50 and a five-show pass is $75. Tickets are available at Gabriola Artworks or www.artsgabriola. ca.

Theatre production shines spotlight on logging history By Ashley DegrAAf

The people down at the Port Theatre may have struck the mother lode for capturing local interest with its latest show.

Other Guys Theatre Company’s Good Timber, a show built around the logging camp poems of former Chemainus sawmill worker Robert

E. Swanson, features many historic clips of Cowichan’s logging history. “We get a lot of older guys coming up after our shows, say-

ing they recognized a family member from one of the photos or they remembered something particular from the part of the show,” said Other

Guys’ artistic director Ross Desprez. “In fact, quite a lot of material also came from the Victoria Museum, as well as a huge collection from

Cowichan, from the local IWA union.” Good Timber celebrates the golden age of logging in the Pacific Northwest, and the legendary TELUS STORE OR AUThORizED DEALER

bulls of the woods, hookers, hi-riggers, fallers, whistle punks and engineers from a time when loggers climbed trees through songs and stories told on stage in front of a multimedia backdrop of rarely-seen images from museum archives. The show sold out its first run with the Royal B.C. Museum in 2010. It all began when Desprez was inspired by a dog-eared copy of Rhymes of the Western Logger, a compilation of poetry by Swanson. Some of Swanson’s poems lamenting the dangers of the bush include The Cat Skinner’s Prayer, The Death of Rough House Pete, and BC Hiball. Besides writing, locally the engineer is known for designing and building the largest steam whistle in Canada at the Chemainus mill, that in May 10, 1940, blew the first of decades of starting and stopping signals. Audience members can expect to buckle up for a blast to the past journey as the theatre stage transcends into the deep forest where a group of loggers suddenly emerge. “What were the noises you would hear and how would it sound,” Desprez said of songs built on Swanson’s poetry banged out live on axes, handsaws, and choker bells to closely replicate that atmosphere as well as jingles played on guitars and fiddles. The show’s been known on occasion to be so realistic that it’s moved audience members to tears. “There are often a lot of families of loggers who come and even logger widows,” said Desprez. “There have even been women in tears who’ve told us, ‘My husband was a logger and I really had no idea what he did until now.’” Good Timber shows at the Port Theatre Tuesday (Aug. 20) at 1 p.m. Tickets are $25 and are available by calling 250-754-8550, at the Port Theatre box office or online at www.porttheatre. com.

Caledonia Park takes criticism

FIELD SURFACE, amenities aren’t up to standard. BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

GREG SAKAKI/THE NEWS BULLETIN

V.I. Raiders running back and kick returner Michael Ritchot tries to get away from Langley Rams tacklers during Saturday’s home opener football game at Caledonia Park. Much of the post-game talk centred around the field, not football.

ent that it’s got to be improved…” said Jeff Ritchie, the city’s senior parks manager. “We are as frustrated as the Raiders. We want to make it a good facility.” There has been continual communication between the city and the football club. The Raiders have sketched out their vision, and it aligns with parks and rec’s wishes. But so far, that’s all it is, visions and wishes. “It seems to be always, next year, next year, next

year…” Abassi said. “We have talked a lot and we always plan but there is no money, no budget, no action.” The city earmarked $400,000 in 2013 toward

improvements at Caledonia Park, but other than widening the sidewalk on Wall Street, that money hasn’t been spent, and won’t be. “We’ve come to the realization it’s going to be more expensive than that,” Ritchie said. “We can carry funds forward, which hopefully we would do, and determine what are our priorities, what it is we need to build and how to move forward.” The Raiders want a structure that incor-

porates a grandstand, locker rooms, washrooms and a concession. “So when we go there on the game day, we don’t have to worry about setting up a rodeo every week,” Abassi said. “We [could] walk in the stadium and just concentrate on the football.” He said the league had reservations about allowing the Raiders to host the Canadian Bowl in 2009 after the first title game at Caledonia Park in 2006. ◆ See ‘PETITION’ /B2

The V.I. Raiders always have a distinct homefield advantage at Caledonia Park. What they’d really like is home-stadium advantage. Last Saturday’s B.C. Football Conference home opener against the Langley Rams featured an exciting finish, with five touchdowns in the fourth quarter. But much of the post-game discussion centred not on football, but on the field itself. A busted scoreclock cost the Raiders a field goal. The sound system wasn’t working at the start of the game. A tent serving as a makeshift locker room failed to impress. “Really, we have the worst facility, never mind in the BCFC, in Canada,” said Hadi Abassi, Raiders owner. “That’s the truth of it – we don’t have a stadium.” Caledonia Park didn’t just become worn out this week. It’s been that way since the Raiders entered the league in 2005, and opposing teams have been complaining all along. None of this is any surprise to the City of Nanaimo’s parks and recreation department. “The infrastructure, the grandstands, washrooms, they’re 50 years old. It’s quite appar-

Track club’s athletes win at nationals The competition got tougher, but Nanaimo’s youths rose to the challenge. Five Nanaimo Track and Field Club athletes medalled at the Legion Canadian Youth Track and Field Championships in the Fraser Valley this past weekend. All four of the club’s Team B.C. athletes medalled. Marita DeSchiffart won gold in her 2,000metre steeplechase event, and also took bronze in the 4x400m relay. Jason Clare won gold in pole vault and Rachel Jerome won gold in the 4x100m relay and silver in long jump. Erica DeSchiffart took bronze in the steeplechase. The club also sent several other competitors who had achieved qualifying standards for nationals. Madison Heisterman, a 13-yearold, won bronze in the U16 division of the 800m race. Sean Miller, Amy Morris, Anthony Serban and Christopher Serban achieved personal-best times at nationals. “The coaches, board members, and parents of the NTFC are extremely proud of these athletes, whose dedication, determination, and talent have brought them to national-level competition,” said Terri Doughty, a club director, in a press release. The three-day meet was held at Langley’s McLeod Athletic Park Friday through Sunday.

Petition circulating for stadium u From /B1

It’s conceivable, Abassi said, that the Raiders could earn home-field advantage for a bowl game and then be denied the right to host. “You can only tell t h e m n e x t y e a r, next year [so many times],” he said. “Eventually they will put a deadline on it.” The team obviously doesn’t want to see it come to that, and neither do its fans. Clark Petrick, a former Raiders player who is now the team’s mascot, Shank Show, sees the game-day atmosphere up close. He was disappointed that the silent sound system spoiled the team’s pre-game routine on Saturday, and that and all the other problems with Caledonia Park finally moved him to action. He set up a Change. org petition that was over 175 signatures at last count. “We’re tr ying to get the community behind this football team, but when

about the possibility of a grand prize benefiting Caledonia Park. For now, everyone will try to make the best of things at the field. Last weekend’s electrical problems originated in the Raiders’ press box, not the city’s hookup, but the two parties will work together to solve the problem. As for the tent, it will probably be pitched again. “This is a very good football league. We have good football players. They can’t just go change in a tent,” Abassi said. “Things start to add [up], and it comes to a point. When is it going to happen?” GRID BITS … To sign the petition, visit www.change.org and search V.I. Raiders.

options – I don’t know what that would be – at that time.” The Raiders are willing to put up some of their own bucks, though they are a non-profit club. Still, there has to be a process, which Ritchie said unfortunately takes time. The park’s neighbouring residents would be consulted about any lighting, for example. Other user groups would have to be on board, too – the Raiders only have between five and eight home dates during a calendar year. One other potential user is the Harbour City Football Club. Coincidentally, the HCFC’s Team France U8 boys happen to be in the midst of a BMO Team of the Week contest that could net them $125,000 to refurbish a local field (See story page B5).

you don’t have the stadium, it’s really hard,” he said. He suggested that t h e re s o m e t i m e s aren’t enough entertainment options in Nanaimo, so people head out of town to Victoria or Vancouver. “If the city wants to revitalize downtown, they should look at that. Saturday night, something to do in Nanaimo,” Petrick said. “Friday night you could have high school football … We could have so many more things than just football there. [A stadium] is the beat of the city, it’s a little bit of pride.” Ritchie said petition or no petition, the city is aware it doesn’t have an adequate football stadium. “We’ve got to get something before council. I think it’s becoming a bigger issue…” he said. “If there’s no funding for it, well, OK, then we’ll have to look at other

Raiders take home field against Huskers The V.I. Raiders have a great chance to stem a losing streak. Nanaimo’s Canadian Junior Football League team (1-2) takes on the undefeated Valley Huskers (2-0-1) this Saturday (Aug. 17) at Caledonia Park. It’s not often the Raiders look up at the Huskers in the B.C. Football Conference standings, but the Huskers were awarded a default win over the Okanagan Sun this week and thus find themselves in second place. The Raiders, meanwhile, saw

marked progress in their most recent game, a 36-28 loss to the Langley Rams last Saturday, but won’t be satisfied with losses moving forward. Matthew (Snoop) Blokker said his team needs to play more consistently. “We can’t have blanks. You can’t go through games and not score in quarters, and that’s an area where we need to get better,” he said. Game time is 4 p.m. at Caledonia. Tickets $10-12 at the gate.

Nanaimo Acme Timbermen coach Mike Maughan directs players at practice Tuesday evening at the Lions’ Sport Centre outdoor lacrosse box next to the Nanaimo Curling Centre. Maughan was named the West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association’s Coach of the Year for 2013.

Acme T-men gaining momentum A championship run is always a team effort. Often, it takes even more than just a team – it takes a community. The Nanaimo Acme Painting Timbermen are hoping the entire city will get behind their efforts as they prepare to compete at the Presidents Cup in Montreal at the end of this month. The senior B lacrosse team was eliminated from the West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association playoffs almost three weeks ago, and have since concentrated their efforts on fundraising for their trip to nationals. Shawn Swanson, the club’s general manager, said the support so far has been

“unbelievable.” A car wash and bottle drive exceeded expectations, and the team has also received contributions from anonymous donors. “I’m overwhelmed with the generosity of not even just Nanaimo, but Victoria, Duncan,” he said. “And not even lacrosse suppor ters, just people that understand.” The major fundraiser is this Friday (Aug. 16), a beera n d - b u rg e r n i g h t and silent auction from 6-9 p.m. at the Old City Station Pub. Some of the items up for bid include resort stays and golf packages. Now that the T-men have secured some coveted auction items, they need to get people to come make the night a success. “It’s enormous, a make-or-break kind of thing,” Swanson said.

On the floor, the T-men have been training hard, holding boot camps to supplement their practice time. They’ve also added some pickups to take with them to Montreal. Curtis Sim, one of the league’s top scorers from the TriCity Bandits, joins the left side of the offence. Two all-stars – transition player Jordan Wong of Tri-City and defender Dave Yee of the Ladner Pioneers – have also indicated that they would like to join the T-men.

Nanaimo News Bulletin B5

Nanaimo’s Team of the Week appreciates every vote The season ended a long time ago, but one minor soccer team is still trying to make a good showing. The Harbour City Football Club’s Team France U8 boys are making one final push on the pitch to try to win the BMO Team of the Week championship. The squad was picked as a Team of the Week winner this past June, one of just 15 teams selected

from across Canada. Team France was selected not just for its play on the pitch, but also for its spirit, sportsmanship and community service. “We’ve got a lot of passion, a lot of energy,” said Jazz Sohal, the squad’s coach. “The team just likes to have fun overall in anything they do.” Players participated in fundraisers for Kids Help Phone and the Canadian

Mental Health Association. “It’s important even in sports, that we keep in mind that these children are growing as indivduals, and that we help promote growth both on and off the field,” Sohal said. BMO organized a community celebration for Team France back in June, and since then Nanaimo has continued to support Les Bleus.

“The community has really embraced these kids as their own, so it’s been a really fun time,” Sohal said. “It’s been a good ride for them.” The Team of the Week championship is being determined by an online vote.

It takes a lot to get world-class cellphone service in a country this big. I doubt Americans will bother with cities like mine. I believe communities like the Monctons of Canada should get the same technology as the big cities do. That way, my neighbours can be as productive and as plugged in as people in any other part of the country. It makes me proud. It’s a very Canadian thing. But I hear the government is inviting a giant U.S. cellphone company to Canada. What will this mean for smaller towns in Canada? I’m afraid it’s bad. Will this giant U.S. company virtually ignore small communities like mine and focus on big cities? That’s where all the money is, right? You know, when smaller towns and cities are left behind, it doesn’t just hurt me and my neighbours — it hurts the whole country. All we want is for it to be fair for Canadians. Ottawa should close the loopholes.

Emotions ride high for the Tour No better motivation for officers than kids battling cancer Danielle Pope and Kyle Slavin

(Above) Victoria police officers Mike Russell and Marie Bourque, and Oak Bay police reserve officer Aubrey Blackhall (below) are part of the 2013 Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock team.

Aubrey Blackhall has been pulling for Tour de Rock since he was in high school. Each year from Grades 9 to 12, the Oak Bay High grad raised money and shaved his head to support the cause. Now, the 21-year-old reserve constable with Oak Bay police is getting an opportunity to ride. “I was really nervous going into the selection process, because I knew that, as a reserve constable, maybe I wouldn’t have the kind of standing that other officers would,” says Blackhall, who has been a reserve officer for a year and a half. “But it seems like what they really wanted to see was that your heart was in the right place.” Blackhall’s heart is there. The young rider lost his grandmother to “an ugly, three-year battle with cancer” when she was only 63 – a loss that motivates him on this ride. Victoria police Const. Marie Bourque has also seen the toll a disease can have on loved ones. In 2001, she learned her father was failing from frontal-lobe dementia and would lose most of his motor skills very quickly. “Even though family is No. 1, caregiving is so tough,” says Bourque, 40. “My dad was 60 years old, which is young, but at least he had 60 years. Caregiving for a child – I just couldn’t imagine that, and what you’d have to go through.”

Arnold Lim photos/News staff

Tour de Rock is a fundraiser that benefits children living with cancer and their families, which helps the riders put things into perspective. “We’re all here for the same reason: we’re all gunning for a cure,” says VicPD Const. Mike Russell. “I’m a huge believer of trying to get the kids to have some sort of normalcy when they go through their treat-

know them will add another level of motivation for me,” he says. Tour de Rock has raised almost $18 million for the Canadian Cancer Society since 1998 – money aimed to fund pediatric cancer research and support programs for kids and their families, like Camp Goodtimes. “I get the most gratitude from helping people, and I want this to be the year that cancer ends. Whether or not that happens, I can help a lot of kids get to camp,” Blackhall says. Bourque says she’s riding to support families who have to go through the emotions of seeing their child go through treatment. “What’s not fair is that life has to strike any kids with illness. Kids ment. This is about finding a cure just want to be kids. They want to for cancer. This is about not losing move forward and not get stuck in any more kids to cancer.” all that,” she says. “They may have Russell, 33, a father of three, says struggles, but you can’t see it on meeting kids who are going through www.midisland.coop their faces. You might get tired (ridcancer and are the same age as his ing), but then you realize the effort children takes an emotional toll. “I really want to get to know these you will put in.

Cadillac seriously contends in sports sedan race BY JIM ROBINSON The 2013 Cadillac ATS represents a wonderful insight into how GM corporate thinking and reaction to consumer interests have changed. Prior to the meltdown of 2009, GM pretty well pumped out what it thought the people wanted, the Cadillac Cimarron of the 1980s being a prime example. Based on the lowly J-car chassis shared with econocars like the Chevrolet Cavalier, it was just that – a frontdrive Cavalier with a leather trim package and better suspension bushings. It put consumers off the idea of a baby Cadillac for years after. Cadillac tried again in 2002 with the CTS, a much more serious effort with rear- or all-wheel drive and a nicely weighted chassis topped off by signature, razor-edge styling. In a bold move, a completely new chassis – the Alpha – was created for a new generation of small, nimble cars of which the ATS would be first. We will be hearing a lot more about the Alpha in coming years and I suspect the new generation Camaro among them. The Alpha was designed for rear or allwheel-drive and 50:50 weight distribution - key elements if the ATS was going to match the Eurosedans. Like the Europeans, the ATS offers a choice of gasoline engines, but unlike the others, no diesel (yet). The first is a 202 horsepower 2.5-litre inline four-cylinder.

The interior of the 2013 ATS is available in a variety of materials such as “sustainable” woods.

behind the grille that close at speed to cut drag. One very sunny day just as winter started to make itself felt, I took off to sample the ATS and had such a good time, I covered just over 600km because I was simply enjoying myself. Equipped with the 3.6L and AWD, my tester was fitted out in ruby red metallic paint, machined 18-inch alloy wheels and wonderful biscuitcoloured leather. There are several interior trim materials such as carbon fibre, aluminum and “sustainably sourced exotic woods.” The leathers are offered in a variety of tones and all, like the panels, are sewn with French stitching. The first impression was an odd one. Driving along the freeway I started to feel a vibration, first on one seat side bolster and then the other coupled with a little green icon at the bottom looking like a ideogram of the cellphone. I thought someone must have left a Bluetooth cellphone in the car so I started fishing around beside and under the seat. Turns out it was actually the optional lane

PHOTO SUBMITTED

The 2013 Cadillac ATS is a very serious attempt to produce a world-class sports sedan with a competent engine/suspension system and a choice of rear- or all-wheel-drive.

Available on the bottom two of the four trim levels, it also is only offered in rear-wheel-drive. The other two engines are a 2.0L direct injection turbo with 272hp and a 3.6L direct injection V6 with 321hp, both available in RWD and AWD. All versions of the ATS use GM’s standard sixspeed automatic except for a six-speed manual available on the turbo only.

departure system letting me know when I was changing lanes right or left. It can be switched off by a button and I did. I’m used to these systems by now, but normally there is a vibration sent to the steering wheel, not the seat. At then when the traffic slowed ahead I got a strong vibration directly on the seat of my pants. This was the optional rear/front collision warning and the vibrating safety alert seat system doing its job. Front suspension is MacPherson struts, but on the ATS it is a double pivot setup with the rear suspension being a five-link system which works really well with AWD and RWD because of the compliance built into the geometry to take advantage of the ride control. With the 3.6L, the ATS is deceptively fast. Here, the optional headsup display was a plus not a hindrance, as a majority of twisty roads I used snake through cottage country where the locals are not that vigilant. This is a remarkably different kind of Cadillac and one that should help return the brand to tits heydey. DIGITAL SOUND August 16-22

Queen’s carriage comes to auction

V8 DAIMLER was used for three years.

Like every used car, this one was only driven rarely by a little old lady. On Aug., English auction house Historics will offer a 2001 Daimler Super V 8 LW B w i t h a unique specification – it used to belong to the Queen. Resplendent in its British racing green livery, the vehicle was, for three years, the personal transport of Her Majesty the Queen, who drove it within the Windsor Castle estate and to and from Buckingham Palace, for both private and official functions. As every British monarch from King Edward VII to Queen Elizabeth II has been transported in Daimler limousines, the manufacturer became well versed on protocol and, not surprisingly, this

A prototype of the Acura NSX is shown just prior to the running of the Honda Indy 200 in Ohio.

New NSX prototype stirring anticipation Racing fans who came for the Honda Indy 200 got a bit of a car show at the same time. A prototype Acura NSX lapped the MidOhio Sports Car Course just prior to the running of the race earlier this month. It excited fans in the state where the NSX is being developed and will be produced, and showcasing the steady progress being made toward the planned 2015 launch of Acura’s next-generation, mid-engine supercar. The NSX prototype sported custom graphics that speak to Acura’s intention to go racing with the new NSX. Targeting next-generation supercar dynamic capabilities with advanced environmental performance, Acura announced in 2012 that the NSX will be powered by a mid-mounted, direct-injected V6 engine mated to Acura’s Sport Hybrid system. The all-new high-performance hybrid system combines torque vectoring all-wheel drive with three electric motors – one motor integrated with the V6 engine and its all-new dual-clutch transmission driving the rear wheels, and two motors driving the front wheels.

Porsche parade sets a record

The Queen’s personal Daimler limo is being auctioned at the end of this month. Her Majesty covered some 17,000 kilometres in it.

Daimler received somewhat fastidious attention before being presented to Her Majesty. In fact, the Jaguar/Daimler factory covered some 4,000 pre-deliver y kilometres in order to minutely examine and test every facet

of the car to ensure it would receive royal approval. A further 17,000 km were covered whilst in the possession of Her Majesty before the vehicle was returned in 2004 to the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust, with whom it is still regis-

tered today. Vigorous bidding is anticipated, with the estimate at £25,000£30,000 ($40,000$48,000). For more information on the auction, to consign vehicles and automobilia, e-mail auctions@historics.co.uk.

As the saying goes, everyone loves a parade. More than 1,200 Porsche 911s took to the Silverstone Grand Prix circuit in England last month to parade to a world record. It was part of the 50th anniversary celebration of the iconic sportscar. The previous record for a Porsche parade was, appropriately, 911 in a row, but organizers manage to squeeze an incredible 1,208 of the Porsches on to a packed circuit this year. Mark Porsche, great-grandson of the marque’s original founder, Ferdinand Porsche, got proceedings underway and he was joined by a number of the sportscar manufacturer’s most successful racing drivers. Former Le Mans 24 Hour-winning driver Derek Bell and Richard Attwood were two celebrity drivers who participated.

Beetle convertible offers top-down driving with a twist

2013 MODEL will survive test of time.

BY JIM ROBINSON Summer means drop-top driving, and the Volkswagen Beetle convertible is a fun and funky way to do it. In Canada, we started getting the 2013 models at the beginning of this year. At first there was one engine, a gasoline 2.5-litre inline DOHC fivecylinder producing 170 horsepower driving the front wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. There is no manual. By the summer, we started getting a 2.0Lturbo four-cylinder again with the automatic and, at that time, both engine variants started being badged as 2014 models. While it shares the same platform and drive train, the convertible is more than a coupe with the roof

lopped off. Extensive re-enforcing and use of high-strength steel makes the chassis 18 per cent stiffer than the previous model. In a rollover, the frame around the windshield acts as a rollover bar and is strong enough to support the car even upside down. In that event, there are two pyrotechnic roll bars behind the backseat that deploy in an emergency for protection of passengers in the backseat. Like the sedan, the dashboard of the convertible has body-colour inserts and that colour coordination continues throughout the cabin. I got plenty of time to test the top as it rained cats and dogs the day I drove it for a beach-front photo op. Every once and a while there was a let up in the rain, so I’d hit the beach, drop the top, and just as I started to aim the camera, down the

rain came in another deluge. It’s a good thing the top goes up and down at speeds up to 50 kilometres per hour because I had to do it more than once. With the top up, it’s quite warm and cozy.

With the top down, there was a very large, foldable wind blocker that certainly did the trick. There was some buffeting and road noise at highway speeds but the radio’s sound quality hardly

seemed affected. A nice touch is a tonneau cover for the top that slips on to give it a 1960s Beetle convertible look. The five-cylinder engine is a proven quantity and always

pulls strongly and that’s good because the convertible weighs in at 1,454 kilograms. Besides the harder steels and rollover bars, the convertible is loaded with safety features starting with

Volkswagen’s intelligent crash response system, which unlocks the doors, turns on the hazard lights and shuts down the fuel system in certain types of collisions. Suspension is coil over struts at the front and independent links at the rear for a very smooth ride. While it does handle well, this car was meant for cruising, not the racetrack. On hand at the press introduction were other trim levels the most fun of which were the “generational” models. These took design cues such as paint combinations and wheels for the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s. The coffee brown ’70s model with the retro full chrome wheels looking like wheel covers was my favourite.VW Canada said they had no plans to import these, but if the demand is there, we may see them here someday.

Ford’s farming efforts yield truck trimmings Uncle Ben would probably approve. Ford is proving that pickups can be green and tough by adding rice hulls to the list of sustainable materials used to build F-150. Ford is using plastic reinforced with rice hulls – a byproduct of rice grain – in an electrical harness in the 2014 F-150. The company will need at least 20,400 kilograms of hulls in the first year. Rice hull-reinforced plastic is the most

recent example of Ford researchers and engineers using sustainable material in the F-Series – without compromising toughness and durability. F-Series trucks already feature recycled cotton and soybeans. The cotton is used as carpet insulation and as a sound absorber; every F-150 contains enough to make the equivalent of 10 pairs of jeans. Soybeans are used to make seat cushions and head rests.

Beefs & bouquets BOUQUET A beautiful bouquet of pink roses to all nice HandyDart bus drivers, especially Mrs. Claudette and Mr. Brad. BEEF To Nanaimo Transit System for not having extra buses for Marine Festival fireworks and the Snowbirds. You keep saying transit is going to get better – when? BOUQUET To Sand and Bear of Sandy’s Ukrainian Kitchen and Grill It for everything they did to help make the bathtub races such a success. Not only did they donate countless hours of their time organizing volunteers but they also gave the volunteers unlimited pop, food and ice cream during Marine Festival. BEEF To the bartender at a local private event. All of your inappropriate behaviour was witnessed by many people. The word is out – good luck trying to get another job. BOUQUET To Coastal Energy for doing a great job putting in my ductless heat pump recently, then sending me a thank-you note for my business. It’s very refreshing for a business to acknowledge me as a human being and not another price tag. BEEF To the beefer about dumpster divers. Why would it bother you so much for someone to take your empty cans and bottles? They are not at your door begging, they are jumping into disgusting places to make a little cash. They spend their day working to survive, not judging others. BOUQUET To my loyal and wonderful customers for your care and concern while I was away having knee surgery. I’m finally back and I miss you. Come back and visit – I made my mom’s famous carrot cake for you. Jody. BEEF To the grocery store which, since extensive renovations, increased the price of everything – one item up $3. Seniors who have shopped there forever now have to go elsewhere. Thank goodness we have lots of choices.

BOUQUET To the kind gentleman who helped an aging executive on Bowen Road Wednesday afternoon after his brand-new Jeep ran out of gas. The gentleman not only directed traffic and filled the Jeep’s gas tank from his own fuel from the gas can in his car, but also refused to accept any payment in return. BEEF To the thrift shop that wouldn’t let a small child use the bathroom. Sorry there are no exceptions to your rules. BOUQUET We have now decided to only go to the Cactus Club if we get Lisa. She is amazing and makes the night 100 per cent enjoyable. If you go to the Cactus Club, ask for her. You will be so happy you did. You rock, Lisa. BEEF To the smokers who continue polluting the air of a non-smoking apartment building. You signed contracts – remember you will get caught. BOUQUET To the two ladies at Invermere Beach who assisted me in carrying my dog Archie back up to my car when he had an accident swimming. Also a thank you to the staff at Central Island Emergency Vet for the care you provided him. He has recovered and is doing well. BEEF To the beefer about dumpster divers. Maybe if you left your returnables outside your garbage bin they could be recycled and kept out of the landfill. BOUQUET To ExtraOrdinary Organics restaurant downtown, for hosting our fundraiser (Organic) Beer and Burger night. For the incredible organic foods, wonderful staff service and care and for your hard work to serve and feed such a crowd – filled to capacity. BEEF To the thief who cut my filler line and stole $60 of fuel from my truck parked atop Duke Point ferry terminal. Be aware of criminal activity there.

BOUQUET To the very observant and thoughtfull person who found a hub cap for a Mitsubitshi. I know there are many folks out there who are kind and care enough to find this. The car might be a 2002 Gallant, but it’s in perfect condition and I love it. BEEF To hospital employees who use the Dufferin Crescent on-street parking all day for free so that visitors and patients have to pay for parking in the lot. Hospital employees have their own dedicated parking lot at inexpensive monthly rates. BOUQUET To KPK Goldsmith in Woodgrove Centre for fixing the eyeglass frames, and because you weren’t sure how long it would hold, you didn’t charge anything. BEEF To the couponers who steal the whole pad of coupons off of grocery displays that are meant for everybody. Two words: selfish and karma. BOUQUET To my boyfriend for being such a nice guy, caring about other people and

Nanaimo News Bulletin B15

being my ‘cool factor’. When you rode down Island in the pouring rain from my Irish family gathering in Campbell River and pulled up behind me on the highway. My heart sang and the joy I got when I saw your face reminded me of why I love you so much.

BEEF To the driver of an older, dirty darkblue Toyota SUV driving on the highway. If everyone at the red light had not seen you barrelling down the highway, it could have been catastrophic for us all. Next time you have a death wish I hope a cop is around to get you. BOUQUET To Graham at Newcastle Nissan for going above and beyond helping me during a malfunction with my car’s keyless entry system. Superb after-sales service. BEEF To the person driving the dark green sport-utility vehicle. You seem to be one of those people who thinks it’s OK to leave your big dog locked in the back of your SUV on a hot sunny day. If I see this again I will not hesitate to call the cops. BOUQUET To the lovely gentleman who waited for me at Westwood Lake parking lot so he could personally return my lost car keys. Your kindness is greatly appreciated. BEEF A distasteful beef to city residential planners who build the homes with garages front and centre of the house as if that’s the part to show off. Look at our lovely garage doors and behind, our second-rate house, it seems to say. It saves space, but at the expense of aesthetics. BOUQUET To our firefighters, police officers, nurses, doctors, paramedics, military, care aids, support workers and many more jobs that are to help people in times of need. Your jobs are inspiring and you often do not get enough appreciation for what you do.

Our family would like to thank all the nurses and doctors in Nanaimo Regional General Hospital, especially to the team in the Palliative Care unit that made her passing as comfortable as possible. God bless you all. A celebration of Dori's life will be held Saturday, August 17th, 12-2:30p.m., at Kin Hut in Departure Bay, to honor her with some of the people she touched in her life.

Survived by her sister, Jacqueline Webster; brother, Jack (Margaret) Wiren; sister-in-law, Ruth Wiren; her children: Phyllis (Wayne) Morgan, John (Noelle), Ken, and Grace; nine grandchildren, ten great grandchildren, numerous nieces, nephews & cousins. She was an incredible and amazing lady. She was a Mom, Grandma, Aunt, Great Grandma, sister, cousin, and friend to many. Peggy spent her childhood in Seaside & the Sechelt Peninsula. She went to St Anne's Convent in New Westminster with her sister, Babs, for her high school years. She worked at the Port Mellon Mill as a pulp tester, where she met Bill deBoeck in 1946.
