Suspect charged in teen’s assault

THE NEWS BULLETIN

One man is facing charges after he allegedly hit and sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl in Nanaimo early Sunday. The incident happened on Calder Road shortly before 4:48 a.m. when an RCMP officer, already responding to a complaint in the Kathryn Place area about a suspicious male, was flagged down by a woman in a vehicle. She said her daughter had just been sexually assaulted and she was taking her to Nanaimo Regional Hospital to be treated for minor injuries. Other members continued to the Kathryn Place area where they found a man, naked from the waist down, who had broken into a house. “He was running around and was found in another lady’s house,” said Sgt. Sheryl Armstrong, Nanaimo RCMP spokeswoman. Police are not revealing the exact locations the incidents took place to protect the identities of witnesses and the victim. The suspect was arrested for breaching court-ordered conditions, which included not consuming alcohol. Police are also not revealing the exact nature of the sexual assault. The victim told police she was walking on Calder Road shortly before the attack occurred. She had sat down on the curb when she experienced a headache and nosebleed. The suspect approached her, struck her on the head and sexually assaulted her. She last saw him walking away. Armstrong described it as a random attack by a stranger. As the victim started walking home from the scene, her uncle and mother stopped to pick her up. Another person also stopped them to ask if they were associated with the male who was running around without pants. Mounties would like to speak with that witness and any other potential witnesses to the assault. Adam Synnuck, 22, of Nanaimo, appeared in Nanaimo provincial court Monday to face charges of sexual assault and breaking and entering. The police investigation is continuing. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call Nanaimo RCMP at 250-7542345 or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477 or online at www.nanaimocrimestoppers. com. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

ayvin McMullen crouches beside the tangled tomato vines sprouting from his garden at the Wesley Street supportive housing complex. The stems are so heavy with tomatoes, the yield will last him all year long, he says with a grin. “The trick is to dry them out real bad so they are just hurtin’ and then you give them water and they go like crazy,” he said. “It is tough love all the way, baby.” McMullen has been part of an effort to transform empty concrete tiers at the Wesley street complex into new communal gardens, giving residents a chance to flex their green thumbs. The project was pitched to tenants in the spring as an opportunity for them to grow their own food and be a part of something positive. Now, gardens overflow with zucchini, tomatoes and squash. Gardeners are learning to can and cook, and bowls are heaped with produce weekly to share among other residents. ◆ See ‘GARDEN’ /6

Pagans celebrate culture I

ANNUAL FESTIVAL takes place near Kin hut on saturday.

years I’ve been talking with some of the community in different cities around the Island and we decided it would make a lot more sense if we pooled our resources and put on one big Island-wide festival and opposed to trying to do a bunch of small ones up and down the Island.” This will be the ninth consecutive year Nanaimo has hosted Pagan Pride Day activities, which focus on revealing paganism to the community at large and eliminating religious prejudice with a day of workshops, rituals and demonstrations. It is also a time for the pagan community to celebrate with live entertainment, drumming circles and vendor tables offering offering goods and services from pagan and pagan friendly businesses and organizations. People of all beliefs are invited. “The general public can come down, ask questions, see what we do,” Abbott said. Paganism has become a blanket term for a belief system that encompasses a variety of religions based on polytheism and worship of the planet Earth. “If you look at a pagan in that overall sense or overall view, they are a group of people who revere the Earth as something sacred,” Abbott said. Paganism also promotes independent thinking. “We’re not going by a laid down scripture. There’s no hard set of rules,” Abbott said. “There’s a morality and applied common sense. You can’t just open a book and find your

Pagans from across Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland are gathering to celebrate by sharing their beliefs and culture this weekend. The ninth annual Vancouver Island Pagan Pride Day happens at Kin Park in Departure Bay Saturday (Aug. 24) when pagans come together to celebrate their similarities and differences, and share what it means to be pagan with people of all beliefs. This year Nanaimo Pagan Pride has been renamed Vancouver Island Pagan Pride due to growing numbers of people attending from across the Island and Lower Mainland regions. Event organizer Kam Abbott, a priest of the Circle of Hearth and Kin, the Nanaimo affiliate of the Aquarian Tabernacle Church of Canada, said about 800 people came out for Pagan Pride last year. “We’ve been getting carloads of people coming down from Courtenay and Comox and people coming in from Port Alberni and Victoria,” Abbott said. “It’s just been more and more interest. There haven’t been any festivals established in any other cities on the Island, I think mostly because it’s a pile of work to put something like this together. The last few

answers. You have to think for yourself.” One of the points about Pagan Pride Day is highlighting the things people of all beliefs have in common. Pagans work in grocery stores, schools, or are maybe the neighbours next door who look and behave pretty much the same as everyone else. They just practice a different religious view. To encourage understanding and diversity, each year a different group in the pagan community is invited to perform the feature ritual. This year’s ritual will be a Gnostic mass – the central ritual of Thelema, a religion formed by British writer Aleister Crowley who was one of the founders of the neo-pagan movement in the early 20th century – performed by priestesses Krystalynne O’Hagan and Bella Thelema from Vancouver. Each year the pagan community dedicates its work and energy to raising donations for charitable community organizations. This year Pagan Pride is collecting non-perishable food items for Loaves and Fishes Food Bank. “This is our opportunity to throw open our doors and welcome the community in to experience a sample of what being a pagan is like,” said Abbott. Pagan Pride Day events run 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, please visit the Nanaimo Pagan Pride website at www.nanaimopaganpride.org. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

their rooms at night to watch them sleep and until now, they thought they had to put up with the act to stay housed. They don’t, and the program helps explain they have the ability to do something about the intrusion, Hayes said. “A lot of women enter into the shelter and don’t have a lot of skills in the necessary things we take for granted, like how to do an inspection when going to rent a place, and basic things about damage deposits,” she

said. “We have realized often if we are sending them out into market housing they are being sent out to fail. “By providing education we hope that they will be able to succeed in their rental experiences.” The women’s resources society will also run a similar program for youth at Parksville’s Ballenas Secondary School next year, to address tenancy before youth move on their own.

The City of Nanaimo has won a national award for its first-ever e-Town Hall meeting. City officials announced this week that Nanaimo won bronze for innovation management from the Institute of Public Administration of Canada. The award recognizes organizations that improve public service with “exceptional innovations” and has been handed out just four times in just over two decades, a press release reads. Nanaimo held its first ever e-Hall meeting – the second of its kind in B.C. – last March. Residents could ask city council questions or comment during a regular city council

meeting via social media, phone or webform with realtime responses from politicians and staff. “I think everyone who participated in the March 25 e-Town Hall event felt we had created a very workable solution to the ongoing challenge of attracting a wide spectrum of feedback on topics related to the city’s 2013 Budget,” said Nanaimo Mayor John Ruttan. “To have that solution recognized by a national association...that’s a tremendous achievement for the residents, staff and council members who made this event a success.” The city anticipates another e-Town Hall meeting next year.

Police hit the roof for Tour de Rock event

CopS for CaNCEr riders from Nanaimo and Parksville climb a scissor lift on saturday (Aug. 24). By Chris Bush

The News BulleTiN

Tour de Rock riders from Nanaimo and Parksville will be riding tall in the saddle, so to speak, when they climb aboard a scissor lift for Tour de Roof. The event happens Saturday (Aug. 24) in front of Save-OnFoods at Country Club Centre, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., when 2013 Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock team riders Const. Misty Dmytar, representing Nanaimo RCMP detachment, and Cpl. Jesse Foreman, of Oceanside detachment, take to the skies to raise a target of $3,500 in donations to fight childhood cancer and support Camp Goodtimes, a summer camp for children battling cancer and their families.

“We’re trying to raise money to get them down,” said event organizer Cpl. Norm Smith. Save-On-Foods will support the fundraiser with a donation tent and barbecue. “It’s going to be a hotdog barbecue,” said Smith, who will also have a police motorcycle on site for children to sit on. Dmytar is riding in support of her son, Griffyn, who was diagnosed with cancer shortly after he was born. She has already passed her fundraising goal of $20,000, but is trying to raise every dime she can for the cause. “I have a huge support group, probably because of how important it is for my family and me,” Dmytar said. Each year more

than 830 children in Canada are diagnosed with cancer. “As far as I’m concerned that’s 830 cases too many, so it’s important for people to come out and show Jesse and me their support and dig a little deeper into their pockets and donate that extra five bucks,” Dmytar said. “It is really, truly all about the kids. It’s one thing as an adult to have cancer, but to actually have a child diagnosed with cancer is just that much more heartbreaking.” Foreman is motivated by his experiences with the Tour de Rock during his years in Sayward, when he witnessed an entire community overcome its own hardships to put on a massive dinner, donation presentation and host teams overnight. He lost his grandfather and an uncle to cancer, but has two other relatives with cancer

currently in remission. “We’ll have balloons and all kinds of stickers for the kids,” Smith said. “Bring some money and give to the cause.” Also on Saturday, Country Grocer in Chase River is hosting a barbecue fundraiser with Tour de Rock rider Ray Carfantan. Hotdogs are by donation and will be ready and waiting for supporters to slap on buns and mustard from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. For more information about Carfantan, please check him out on Facebook at Tour de Rock Ray.

u From /1 There is a lot of pride, said McMullen, who has lived in the $6-million complex since it opened in February. The residents were hardto-house homeless or at-risk of homelessness before they moved into supportive housing. Some people had not tended a garden in years because they were focused on surviving on the streets and for some, the opportunity has proven they are not as stupid or without skills like they were once made to feel, he said. “Just take a look at what we have lined up,” he said, pointing toward the produce outside. “People looked at you before like you were a bum that couldn’t do anything. You can’t tell us that now. We are growing our own food.” The benefits of the communal gardens haven’t gone unnoticed by the city’s other budding supportive housing projects, which aim to follow suit when they break ground over the next 12 months. Project coordinators say food security has become a key issue for communities and gardens have become an important way for people on lowincome to access healthy food and stretch their budgets. The success of gardens is also in the hands of tenants, fostering independence and a sense

of accomplishment, they say. Karyn French, executive director for Pacifica Housing, said gardens have been incorporated into their Victoria-based complexes over the past five years and she has seen firsthand the joy residents have when they are able to grow and share food. Gardens will be an important part of the Uplands supportive housing complex, which is expected to get underway this September, she said. Supportive housing on Dufferin Crescent – one of last remaining builds in a plan to house the city’s homeless – is still in the design stages but will also have plots. “It can be expensive to eat healthy...so this is providing people with opportunity [to eat well] and the therapeutic value of connecting with the soil,” French said. Support workers at the Wesley street supportive housing are now looking at new ways to build on the garden project, with plans for learning workshops and a new memorial area. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Breaking down barriers

Const. Martin Kortas checks out the mangled steel fence following a crash on Terminal Avenue near Bryden Street Wednesday. The accident happened around 5 a.m. when a northbound car crossed into oncoming lanes and crashed through fence and a sign. The Island Highway was closed for more than an hour Wednesday morning. Police at the scene said no one was seriously injured, but the incident is still under investigation.

Missed deadline leads to Elections B.C. fine By Karl yu The News BulleTiN

Nanaimo B.C. Liberal candidate Walt Anderson was listed by Elections B.C. as one of those who missed a deadline for filing financing reports for the 2013 General Election. Kim Smythe, Anderson’s campaign manager, said while the Aug. 12 deadline was missed, the report has been filed. “Basically we had some difficulties,” Smythe said. “Our financial agent had some issues and could not complete filing in time to get to the auditor, in time for the auditor to get it back into Elections B.C. by the 12th of August, so we missed it by a few days. So we’ll be in the 30-day catch-up group.” Elections BC made the financing reports public on Monday. “Our financial agent was a CA (chartered accountant) and he had end of business

year taxes to take care of and by the time he was through that, had to deal with the books from this,” Smythe said. “Our campaign was very small and simple so it is a shame we were not able to complete within the deadline. “Our financial agent simply did not account for the amount of time the financial statements needed to be in the auditor’s hands as required by Elections B.C. and that’s where we got hung up.” Anderson and his campaign group were charged a late filing penalty of $500, something that they could ill-afford, according to Smythe. “That’s campaign supporters’ money and it’s a shame but that’s just the way it worked out – it’s really the fault of nobody in particular,” Smythe said.

EDITORIAL

Politics often about optics

There can be no doubt Pamela Wallin has joined a select, but unenviable, group of senators following fallout over her “troubling” travel expenses. The ostracized few – including fellow former Conservatives Mike Duffy and Patrick Brazeau – are no longer permitted to charge travel expenses other than direct flights to and from their home ridings. Wallin’s apparent habit of charging taxpayers for sidetrips to Toronto, while travelling between Saskatchewan and Ottawa, is part of a pattern that led auditors to call for her to repay more than $121,000 of her travel claims for 2009-12. Wallin argues auditors used 2012 rules to evaluate pre-2012 expenses and suggests some discrepancies are a result of sloppy bookkeeping. Others suggest senators were given erroneous information when they assumed their duties. None of which alters the fact that Wallin – as a former high-profile TV personality, like the previously disgraced Duffy – should have known the damage bad optics have done time and again to political figures, particularly when there is any suspicion of misuse of the public dime. It’s no secret that Wallin – like Duffy – was an appointee of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and that both were vociferous in campaigning on behalf of his party. Could that have accounted for a certain sense of invulnerability on her part? While the Conservatives have since done everything they can to distance themselves from Wallin, Harper has not escaped criticism for giving Wallin’s expenses a clean bill of health as recently as February. By May, Wallin was asked to resign from the Conservative caucus. But Canadians could be forgiven for asking what changed about Wallin’s expense claims, between February and May, to alter Harper’s tune so dramatically on such an ardent – and presumably useful – supporter in the red chamber.

to decline by $42 million over the next three years. Virk said post-secondary institutions working with industry have produced 456 additional seats in high-demand programs for this year. It’s a start. As usual, the NDP spent lots of time grilling Virk about student debt and the alleged need to reduce it. Ministry statistics show that about 30 per cent of students take out loans from the federal-provincial program, and the average is $20,000. One of the latest changes is a program of grants that go toward student debt as a reward for those who complete their chosen program. With 23,000 students collecting $41 million in grants, it might be working. For all the fuss about student debt, students pay only about a third of costs. The rest is on taxpayers, whether it produces any useful education or not. Virk is under instructions to review the student loan program “to find further improvements to meet students’ needs.” Given the magnitude of the gap between what skills our education system produces and what the economy needs, a larger shift in priorities is needed. u Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com.

Nanaimo News Bulletin 9

Dam referendum shows true support Concert highlight To the Editor,

The dilemma of the politician is to try to satisfy everyone without having the money to do so. So inevitably scarce resources go to those who mount the most public campaign. Hardly objective or reasonable. Anyone attending council meetings on the Colliery Dam Park will appreciate the passionate efforts by some residents to maintain the recre-

ational and aesthetic value that the lakes provide to the park. But is spending millions to rebuild dams the best use of tax dollars for Nanaimo? All over the world local governments are removing old, decaying dams for public safety, high maintenance costs and to restore rivers to their natural, healthy condition. The World Wildlife Fund states that one of the primary threats to Canada’s rivers is altered flow and

water levels caused by dams. Colliery Dam Park will remain a beautiful retreat for future generations whether the dams are there. The Chase River has flowed for thousands of years with white water, majestic falls and calm pools. If one wants to preserve a mining era structure one only needs to go nearby to the Harewood Mines Reservoir dam which, built in 1911, is a much more visible and

complete heritage work. Council should determine if the majority of residents truly believe rebuilding the Colliery dams is the right thing to do and at what cost. A referendum would be an option but even a council resolution putting a cap on the funds available for the recreational and aesthetic enhancement component would be a recognition of public concerns.

Readers respond Feedback on news items Security highlights poor relationship To the Editor,

Re: Security added during recent city meetings, Aug. 20. This story highlights the growing antagonism between Nanaimo city council and the public. In this chapter of the saga, council is apparently prepared to pay costs to the Vancouver Island Conference Centre for security which is at the centre’s sole discretion – to provide a blank cheque for security costs which the city has not pre-approved. For the conference centre, it provides the possibility of an open income stream. For the public it provides just another piece of evidence that council has no faith in its citizens and thus feels entitled to protection from them. Just what is the city’s budget for these services?

This sorry affair resonates in the statements made by staff of the conference centre which equate the environment of Nanaimo’s council meetings with the Vancouver riot, and that unfortunate comment made by the city’s Ian Howat that the security is “for the public and to protect the public’s interests.” This sorry excuse has been used by every tin pot dictator on the planet as a reason to clamp down on citizens. While I am sure that both these sources would wish to recall those statements with something less dramatic, they do indicate the level of distrust has been allowed to grow between council and its citizens through the overuse of in-camera meetings and council’s failure to provide direct open discussions with the public on major issues. It is fervently hoped that some of the bet-

ter ideas in the recently adopted Communication Plan will be quickly implemented. Nanaimo cannot afford the kind of poor publicity which is emanating from City Hall.

Ron Bolin Nanaimo

Audit should look further for fraud To the Editor,

Let’s get one fact clear from the outset: Senator Pamela Wallin is not the only person to pad an expense account. Since time immemorial, a great many people have surreptitiously added a few dollars here and there to such accounts. What has been exposed by the independent audit of Wallin is not a few dollars here and there, but looks more like a quite accomplished serial fraudster at work. Literally scores upon scores of inadmissible travel expenses uncov-

ered, beginning since she was first appointed as a Conservative senator in 2009 at age 56. The senator called the audit “fundamentally flawed and unfair,” in arriving at the total of inadmissible expenses in excess of $120,000 and counting. Surely with the RCMP now on the case the logical question is: Does someone who has been using expense accounts honestly for many years, suddenly decide to use them fraudulently at age 56? It may be prudent for the relevant accountants to check Wallin’s expense claims when she worked as Canadian consul in New York and even before that when in the employ of CBC and CTV. When all those avenues are checked out, we may have the answer to who is fundamentally flawed and unfair.

Bernie Smith Parksville

of city’s summer To the Editor,

This community owes a huge thank you to Calvin Dyck, concertmaster of the Vancouver Island Symphony, and Ken Lavigne, wellknown vocalist, for their efforts in providing such a wonderful evening in the Lions Pavillion in Maffeo Sutton Park on Aug. 17. Calvin is from Abbotsford and Ken is based in Chemainus, but these two professionals took a calculated gamble and combined their skills to organize this concert with no guarantee of any financial return. With their talents as solo performers, they attracted other local soloists such as Sarah Wood and Pippa Williams, assembled an orchestra of musicians from the Abbotsford Junior Orchestra and from the Vancouver Island Symphony, and invited a select group of the Skipping Sensations, also from Abbotsford. Add a few sponsors and a small band of volunteers and the concert, featuring several of Calvin’s solos and Ken’s ballads and classics, resulted in several standing ovations from the large crowd estimated at more than 2,000 people on a perfect August evening. It took courage to plan and deliver this Summertime Pops by the Sea event – I have my fingers crossed that the donations collected were enough to cover the expenses these two professionals incurred and that they were sufficiently encouraged to immediately begin planning for the 2014 version. With word of mouth of the success of this free event, there should be some sponsors who can support Calvin and Ken in continuing what could be an annual tradition of this orchestral event.

Les Dickason Nanaimo

Concert should be annual event To the Editor,

Congratulations to everyone involved in bringing us Summertime Pops by The Sea on Aug. 17. It truly was a fantastic music event. It was indeed a top talent line-up. I do hope all will go well so that this will be an annual event. A perfect night as we accepted the invitation to bring our lawn chairs and picnic on a warm summer evening. I am sure there was well over 1,000 in attendance enjoying the show.

Music festival supports hospice

Photo Contributed

Honourable display

When a display of Charles Whisker’s medals was stolen from St. John Ambulance last fall the Vancouver Island Military Museum stepped in and created a replacement set for display at St. John House. Phil Harris and Roger Bird of the Military Museum presented the new display to Merv Unger, right, chairman of the St. John Foundation of B.C. and Yukon.

Newcastle Nissan’s inaugural Music Festival raised more than $1,500 for Hospice. The gift will go toward the completion of the new Hospice House, located at 1080 St. George Cres. “We are now working from our new location,” said Wendy Pratt, executive director, Nanaimo Community Hospice, in a press release. “And this generous gift will help us complete renovations and landscaping of our new home. This is yet one more wonderful example of individuals and businesses coming together to support

us as we continue to support individuals and families coping with dying, care giving, and grief.” The campaign is nearing its goal.

Karen, Business Development, Bell Mississauga, ON

It’s unfair to give a giant American corporation special treatment. I can tell you personally that this is an incredibly competitive industry. One company does something and the others scramble to beat it. That’s good, fair competition. But now, the Canadian Government is allowing a giant U.S. cellphone company to buy up small Canadian operators that Canadian cellphone companies like mine aren’t allowed to buy. Since we can’t bid, they’ll likely even get a huge discount on the price, effectively at the Canadian taxpayers’ expense. But it gets worse. They get to piggyback on the infrastructure we built — and they didn’t contribute a cent. That’s not good, fair competition. You know, we teach our kids to play fair. That’s about as Canadian as it gets. So why is our government giving a giant U.S. corporation special treatment? That’s not fair. Ottawa needs to close the loopholes.

Explosive revelations

Tech N9ne performs at the Spice Lounge Friday (Aug. 30) at 9 p.m. Tickets are $35 and are available from the Queen’s and Guava Apparel. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

We are going to go out and shake the world. The lineup is explosive.

BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN

ech N9ne is ready to set off the sonic booms of musical heaven when he performs in Nanaimo as part of his Something Else tour next week. “We are going to go out and shake the world,” he said about the tour. “The lineup is explosive … the tour has to match the album.” He said it will be ambidextrous, funny, sad and powerful. He’ll perform at the Spice Lounge Aug. 30 at 9 p.m. The tour features Krizz Kaliko. Tech N9ne, whose real name is Aaron Yates, said when the two of them met it was like two muses finding each other. “You get this explosion and step on this roller coaster of different music,” he said. The tour derives its name from his latest album, Something Else, which was released at the end of July. On his latest EP, produced under his own record label Stange Music, Tech N9ne collaborated with a wide range of talented musicians including Kendrick Lamar, CeeLo Green and Wiz Khalifa. In his newest work Tech

N9ne makes some personal confessions from his past. In the song, I Am Not a Saint, he shares the story of being sexually assaulted by a teacher when he was a child. “I had to dig into that deep, dark part of my brain where I store things,” said Tech N9ne. “I wasn’t really planning to let loose but the beats tell me exactly what I need to do.” When the beats are super emotional and sentimental it will happen, he said. Tech N9ne said he’s still working to grow Strange Music. “Right now we are still building,” he said. “It’s important to not become content.” He is on the journey to what he refers to as “global domination.” He hasn’t toured in Japan, Brazil or Africa and would like that opportunity in the future. Tickets are $35 and are available at the Queen’s, Guava Apparel or by calling 250-754-6751.

Young love doesn’t always work out as people want it. Sydney Howlett, who plays Gwen, left, and Jasper Parsley-Kehoe want the affections of Ethan Logan, who plays Owen, while Liam Coulter, who plays Jasper, longs for the love of Sophia. The story of their relationships comes to life in Cascadia.

Indie musical explores young love By Rachel SteRn the news bulletin

Jackson and Sophie Montgomery have loved each other for a decade, but marriage struggles threaten their happy relationship. During a trip to a music festival, audience members are introduced to the story of how they first met and how their life progressed. The two are the central characters in Cascadia, an indie rock musical, being produced by Kismet Theatre Academy. “This musical is all about falling in love and the slowing of time,” said Bonnie Catterson, academy director. She said it follows the Montomerys’ journey, their love story and the audience doesn’t know what will happen to it. Catterson had the idea about

eight months ago and has been working with Andrew Kent, who is in charge of music, ever since. The academy didn’t have enough resources to create the full production, so it created a teaser show with plans to have the full musical in one of Nanaimo’s parks in September of next year. “It has been amazing for a lot of them,” said Catterson about the participants rapping in the production. “This is the most amazing thing I have worked on and the most interesting. I am so excited to see when it becomes a full production.” Catterson is working with Zachary Tanner, founder of the Hub City Cinema Society. Tanner will film the production for Catterson to use in the future to secure funding for the expanded show.

Donations will be accepted to support the future production. Jasper Parsley-Kehoe plays Sophia in the production. For the 15-year-old actress it’s the first time she’s rapped. “It’s been pretty great,” she said. “It’s been really fun because I get to be sassy with the rap.” Nine-year-old Angelina Boyrud-James said she likes the acting, dancing and doing the hip hop. The improv aspect is also fun, added Erin Murphy, 9. Cascadia shows Friday (Aug. 24) at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday (Aug. 25) at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. All performances are at Nanaimo Centre Stage.

MID ISLAND CO-OP

Summer of Fun

Celebration Jeremiah armstrong Photo

Genevieve Johnson performs as part of the Infringing Dance Festival in partnership with fringe fest Saturday (Aug. 24), 9 p.m., at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre.

Dancers grace stage during fringe festival Crimson Coast Dance Society is brining the grace of dance to the fringe festival. The society partnered with Fringetastic theatre festival and is hosting Infringing Dance Festival to present two dances and one workshop. The first, Raven Spirit Dance, was held Monday. The second, Still Snowing, is Saturday (Aug. 24) at 9 p.m. at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre. It features Nanaimo’s Genevieve Johnson. She’ll share the Japanese contemporary dance form of Butoh. Johnson will dance to a poem. Prior to Johnson’s performance, people

can learn the techniques of Butoh during the Landscape Under Skin workshop at The Vault Friday (Aug. 23) at 9 p.m. Admission is by donation. Johnson will teach people how Butoh dancing helps the mind perceive the body in new ways. “In my work, the strangeness generated by the scenic body lies in the development of landscapes under the skin that make the body present to itself in another way than in the daily, theatrical or formal realities,” said Johnson, in a press release. “The body on stage is both authentic and altered, modified by the presence of the other within it.”

Welcome

Brooks Landing Thrifty Foods recently welcomed new store manager Doug Riederer, who joined the Nanaimo family after 6 1/2 years in Parksville. But Riederer’s Thrifty Foods connection stretches back 30 years. Starting in the grocery department of Victoria’s Fairfield store while he was still in high school, Riederer later joined the produce department, first at Fairfield, then at the Colwood store. The knowledge gained in that role served Riederer well when he joined the Thrifty Foods head office as a produce merchandiser, before becoming a Retail Operations Assistant, and finally Produce Director, before joining the team at Parksville. Riederer lives in Nanaimo with his three children and wife, who is a front end supervisor at the Longwood store and herself part of the Thrifty Foods family for 28 years.

Riederer says, “the staff and customers in Nanaimo are fantastic.” He’s also looking forward to the opportunity to get even more involved in the community he and his family call home.

New recruit cherishes chance to play Seth Goodman gets to extend college career

Raiders look to carry win to roadtrip BY KARL YU THE NEWS BULLETIN

BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

ometimes the seasons just go by too quickly. Seth Goodman knows that well, and he will make the most of his time at Vancouver Island University. The 24-year-old American has come to Canada this year primarily because it’s a place to play. He ran out of semesters of college eligibility in the States, but he didn’t want to end his college career on those terms. “It meant the world to me to have another chance,” he said. “I thought I was done.” Goodman has taken a winding path to Nanaimo and the Pacific Western Athletic Association. He lived in New Orleans until natural disaster struck and Hurricane Katrina wrecked his family’s home. “It was destroyed. We lost it all in Katrina,” he said. “It was a hard year of my life.” Displaced to Houston, Texas, he missed his junior year of high school ball, then got cut from the team in his senior year. He kept his skills sharp with club basketball. He redshirted his first year of college, he said,

which is one of the reasons why the semester rule caught up with him. After that, he found his greatest success at Western Tech in Wisconsin. “That’s when I blew up,” he said. It led to a stop at Southern Wesleyan University, but not playing time, and too soon, Goodman had run out of chances in the States.

“

It meant the world to me to have another chance.

It was his old junior college coach who suggested Canada, where the semester rules are

different. Goodman took it from there, researching his options and liking the looks of VIU. “I checked it out and it looked like a good fit for me,” he said. Matt Kuzminski, coach of the Mariners, said Goodman’s past coaches recommended him, and college transcripts looked positive. Kuzminski checked out some highlight videos and talked to Goodman

and made up his mind. “Because of our budget, you’ve got to kind of take a chance. I [couldn’t] afford to fly him up,” the coach said. Last week, Goodman arrived in B.C. and worked out one-on-one with his new coach every day. Kuzminski thinks the 6-foot-6 forward is going to be a good fit on the Mariners.

Hot off a 56-3 victory over the Valley Huskers, the Vancouver Island Raiders will be looking to carry that momentum into a road game versus the Kamloops Broncos Saturday. Even though the 2-2 Raiders will face the winless Broncos (0-3-1), head coach Matthew “Snoop” Blokker said he and his staff won’t deviate in its preparation. “Our approach isn’t going to change,” Blokker said. “We’re going to do the same thing and approach the game the same way we do every game and we need to get better. “We have to compete and our goal, no matter what, is to get the two points and we have no choice but to do that against Kamloops.” Blokker said the Raiders haven’t decided on a true No. 1 quarterback yet, but he said Jamie Ybarra and Jaeden Marwick would both see duty behind centre on Saturday. Who starts the game will likely be decided this evening. “We give (Ybarra and Marwick) even reps and opportunity to practice and compete. “We’re in a situation where they’re both going to play in the game no matter what,” Blokker said.

Raiders aim to respond better on road u From /B1 “I think it means more to the media than it does to us as far as a starter. They’re both going to compete, they’re both going to get to play with our starting group and we’re going to develop both guys,” Blokker said. “They’re both very young quarterbacks and they both need opportunity to develop. “We’re not putting any pressure on them that way at all and we’re just going to keep working with both of them and let them both play.” The coach said the

Raiders would probably continue to employ the two-quarterback system for the remainder of the season. The Raiders are in for a long day as they will head up to Kamloops, play the game at 7 p.m. and then head home right after. The team owns a 1-1 road record with a 35-10 win against the Westshore Rebels and a 17-3 loss to the Okanagan Sun. Blokker aims for a better job from his players, coaching staff and himself in Kamloops than the team did on the road in a similar set up earlier this

Coach expects Goodman to be ‘physical presence’ u From /B1 “He’s very athletic, he’s long, he’s going to be a physical presence in this league, especially,” Kuzminski said. “But I’ve been most impressed with his coachability.” Goodman said he considers himself a versatile player. He likes to drive the lane, but is comfortable playing an outside game as well. He hopes to contribute with scoring, rebounding and defence. “[Kuzminski] told me that I could have a big role on this team, but it’s team first, so I just have to basically check my ego – I don’t have a big ego – but check my ego at the door,” Goodman said. “Whatever they need me to

do, I’ll try to do, as simple as that.” Goodman has hardly left the VIU gym since he arrived there, as he also volunteered to help with the basketball camps last week. He loves it, he said; his father coached him all the way up and he appreciates the opportunity to give back. “They’re the upcoming stars now,” he said. “One day they’ll be in my shoes. Hopefully in better shoes than me.” COURT SHORTS … The PacWest

Clippers filling roster for season

TRAINING CAMP underway for city’s junior hockey team. By Karl yu The News BulleTiN

With Nanaimo Clippers training camp in full swing, head coach and GM Mike Vandecamp is hoping that players step up to fill some big holes. Players like 2012-13 top point- and assist-getter Greg Fraser are no longer with the team and leading up to the team’s regular season B.C. Hockey League regular season opener on Sept. 7 versus West Kelowna, Vandecamp and staff will have some decisions to make. “We don’t have a lot of returning guys so we’re just getting to know a lot of the new faces,” Vandecamp said. “We have a lot of them and I think basically right now we’re going to have to sort through it and figure out where everybody’s going to fit in.” He said the Clippers’ staff did a lot of recruiting during the off-season and it feels comfortable with where it is at, but there are a lot positions to fill.

“We’ve got 40 players in camp and the roster is 22 players, so we’re going to pick the best 22 and it sounds a bit cliche, but all the spots are open and that’s the honest truth. “We’ve got, I believe, nine guys back and we had a pretty good year last year. We didn’t win everything so their spots are up for grabs like anybody else’s and they have to come in and earn their spots this year and our new faces will be competing with them.” Jayson Argue, who played goal for the Clippers last season, is amongst four vying for a chance to compete for time between the pipes. Connor LaCouvee was acquired in an off-season trade with the Cowichan Capitals and Vandecamp said there was also two other netminders, aged 18 years and 16 years. The Nanaimo Clippers will have their annual Rhodesie Cup intrasquad game Friday (Aug. 23), 7 p.m., at Frank Crane Arena. “There will be a small donation made by people that come to the game for local charity and basically, that will be our final intrasquad game in training camp,” Vandecamp said. “After that

Acme Timbermen take best shot at title

SR. B squad departing for nationals.

BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN

Some onlookers might say that the Nanaimo Acme Timbermen took the easy route to the Presidents Cup, but that isn’t really accurate. There’s no easy route to nationals. It’s been a long decade since the T-men made their last appearance at the tourney, in 2003. The club had some tough seasons there for awhile, barely staying afloat in the years after Nanaimo got a senior A team in 2005. But the senior B guys soldiered on, nudged their

way up the standings, and solidified themselves as a perennial contender in the West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association. It may have taken a couple of teams defaulting their berths this summer, but Nanaimo found a way back to the Presidents Cup. “Opportunities to go to a championship don’t come along very often,” said Kyle Couling, team captain. The guys know that well. Two players, Shawn Swanson and Aaron Vanderhorst, were part of that 2003 team. “At that time, I thought I’d be going back there a lot more. I didn’t think it would be another 10 years…” Vanderhorst said. “I’m happy to be back

there at all.” It’s going to be an interesting seven days in Montreal next week. The Acme Painting Timbermen will be up against six other teams, most of them league champions bursting with all-star talent. “We’re looking at this as a huge chance to go in as spoilers and underdogs because that’s how we got in,” Couling said. “I think that gives us an edge because people may underestimate us.” The Timbermen feel they’re a better team than what they showed in the WCSLA playoffs when they got swept in the semifinals. “We may not have some of the top-end star calibre that some of the other

teams do, but we feel top to bottom we’re a pretty deep team, we’re a pretty athletic group,” Vanderhorst said. He suggested that the Timbermen can keep up a fast pace next week both on offence and defence, and perhaps wear teams down over the busy schedule of games. The T-men start play Monday (Aug. 26) against the host Kahnawake Mohawks, the first of six games in six days. They play two games on Wednesday – Couling said he probably hasn’t played two lacrosse games in one day since he was 12 years old. “It’s going to be an unusual tournament and unusual things can happen,” he said. “We have a chance to surprise some teams and if we get into the finals, when we get in the finals, anything can happen.” It took a decade to get to the Presidents

Cup, so now that the T-men are there, they might as well make the most of it. “I’m pretty excited and everybody here is. It’s a rare expe-

rience…” Couling said. “I’d like to see us capitalize, for everybody here and ourselves on the team and lacrosse in Nanaimo in general.”

R E FLYNOTICE!

Vanderhorst said the Timbermen owe it to themselves, and the people who have supported them, to make a good showing next week. “A lot of things have to go right for us to win,” he said. “But we do feel we have a letitimate shot.” sports@nanaimobulletin.com

A fundraiser for Nanaimo Sport Achievement Awards could make someone $1 million richer. Million Dollar Hole in One takes place at Beban Park golf course Sept. 11-14. The event is designed to help raise money to assist local athletes that are in need of financial assistance to compete in their chosen sport. The ninth annual Nanaimo Sport Achievement Awards are set for Feb. 1 at the Coast Bastion Inn. The preliminary round runs Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, with competitors aiming to hit balls to a 90-yard target. Balls landing in an eight-foot circle advance to the second round. The putting competition will see players putt to a hold at 20-foot distance. Anyone sinking a putt moves on to next round. On Saturday, contestants will hit balls from Tee 1 to the green. The 10 closest will move on to compete for the $1 million prize, which wraps up with a putting contest from 70 feet. For tickets or more information on the event, please call Marilyn Sullivan at 250-7166110.

Beefs & bouquets BOUQUET To Julie and Mark who rescued my wayward purse on Smuggler’s Hill and so quickly returned it home. BEEF To the alteration store for ruining and staining my maid of honour dress days before the wedding. Promises by phone to be reimbursed for dry cleaning and alterations were laughed at and blame put on me. BOUQUET To Applecross Automotive Ltd. for the excellent service given to my 17-yearold Chevrolet Cavalier. Their service is accurate and highly efficient. BEEF To the Upper Lantzville dog owners who still think it’s okay to let your dogs roam the neighbourhood. I am now stuck between two houses with Rottweilers who roam with other dogs and pose a threat to my dogs who are always leashed. BOUQUET To Jessica and Dave and the team at Tim’s Automotive on Bowen Road. Your honest, helpful and kind support made my daughter’s very first car purchase a wonderful experience. BEEF To the city for not keeping the sidewalks clear of encroaching weeds, shrubs, trees, etc. Try walking along Dufferin Cres. between Boundary and Bowen roads – in many spots there’s not enough room for two people to pass. BOUQUET To Good Samaritan Bill for keeping the Akenhead and Wilkinson road intersection area mowed and free of litter. BEEF To the blonde, middle-aged lady in the blue Ford minivan who happily bootlegged alcohol for the three teen boys on skateboards at the north-end liquor store. Let’s hope if you have children, no one is doing this for them. BOUQUET To Watson Electrical for great service. They did the re-wiring of my old house quickly and without any stress on my part.

AUGUST 23 TO 29 | www.sears.ca

PRO ICON™

BEEF To all those skateboarders, bikers and parents of those using Rotary Skateboard Park on Dover Road. It’s time you learned to pick up your trash. You have been given a great skateboard park – take care of it. BOUQUET To a guy name Ed who stopped at Quality Foods on Tuesday night and helped fix my radiator hose after all the anti-freeze leaked out due to rotten hose. You left your glove – check at Quality Foods. BEEF To small dog owners who think a “little” poop doesn’t have to be picked up. It smells and sticks to people’s shoes just like big poops that aren’t picked up. BOUQUET To the knight in shining armour who loaded my Home Depot wheel barrow into his truck and followed me home to deliver it. It wouldn’t fit in my car. BEEF To the oyster packing facility on Stewart Avenue which left a large, very foul-smelling container with a “for sale” sign on it in the neighborhood for almost a year. The odor is horrendous. BOUQUET To the beefer of dumpster divers. Perhaps if I send a little sunshine your way, you can open your cold heart. Try researching mental health and addiction. It can happen to anyone. BEEF To the couple running in Buttertubs Marsh with their dog. Buttertubs Marsh is a bird sanctuary, not an off-leash dog park. It’s not as if there aren’t many other places in Nanaimo to run and take your dog. BOUQUET To my wonderful hairdresser at Bridgettes on Norwell Road. You do a great cut and curl and good head massage. BEEF To the guy whose dogs were “friendly” but were maced and others who claim dogs are “friendly.” Have some courtesy and respect and realize it’s not about your dog being friendly. You never know if someone has had a traumatic event involving a dog. We shouldn’t have to ask you to leash dog while passing us.

BOUQUET To my family’s heroes – a man named Todd and his wonderful wife who drive a big, silver truck. They stopped traffic on Nicol Street to catch our dog as he was running down the highway. He’s safe now behind a new fence. BEEF To the firewood company that still doesn’t know how to measure and deliver a cord of wood after all these years. BOUQUET To the lady who found and turned in my intact wallet to Maureen, one of the many pleasant and kind employees at Northridge Quality foods who called me a soon as she could. For this 90-year-old, her kind of thoughtfulness proves there are still many good and honest people left in the world. BEEF To the city for completely destroying our 40-year-old grapevine. We came home to half of our vine missing and the other half wilting and turning brown. To bad no one left us a note asking us to trim it before they nearly killed it.

Nanaimo News Bulletin B7

BOUQUET To Cobs Bread. I went in to treat myself to a small dessert at the end of the work day. I received three loaves of bread for free. It’s not easy when you live on a B.C. Disability pension to afford quality food. I was in such deep gratitude to be offered this. BEEF To one of the neighbors who complained about our grapevine to the city but not to us, so we could do something about it before getting the city involved. I thought we had a a friendly neighborhood. Apparently not anymore. BOUQUET To the very kind person who took my shopping bag from McDonald’s in WalMart to the service centre. I hope the finder wins a fortune. BEEF Why does Maffeo Sutton Park only fly the Scottish Saltire and not the Union Jack which would cover the British Isles? BOUQUET To Dave and all the boys at Norm’s Plumbing and Heating. I needed a toilet and it was put in that day, even though they were busy. BEEF To the horse riders on the streets of Cedar: if dog owners are expected to pick up the poo, why do you think you are exempt from that common courtesy? BOUQUET To Charlotte who introduced me to Isagenix. I am getting my body back and a new lease on life. BEEF To the lady who brought her dog onto the passenger deck of the ferry. That would have been against the rules, if only the rules applied to you. BOUQUET To Andrew and the Serauxmen Service Club, the Black Bear Pub and to all the people who came out to support the fundraiser for the little cook.

Nanaimo News Bulletin Thursday, August 22, 2013

BY JIM ROBINSON o matter what anyone tells you, the automakers are making huge strides in fuel economy that do not take away from performance – which sums up the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu LTZ Turbo. With just 2.0-litres to work with, the Turbo Malibu has 259 hp and, more importantly, 260 lb/ft of torque that sees it sprint from 0-60 mph in 6.3 seconds, which is equal to a lot of sporty cars on the road. Top speed is 248 km/h. And it does this with a fuel consumption rating of 10.1 L/100km city and 6.6 L/100km highway. The turbo is standard on the topline LTZ model (as tested) with a list price of $30,650 and optional ($1,620) on the 2LT model one rung below. The turbo is part of a fourcylinder strategy for the 2013 Malibu with the 2.0-litre joined by a standard 2.5-litre and a specially tuned 2.4-litre that is part of the optional GM e-Assist hybrid system on the Malibu Eco model. Chevrolet has had a turbo 2.0-litre before in the discontinued Cobalt SS that also produced 260 hp. But the powerplant only saw limited use that included the Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky before they too were discontinued. The current 2.0-litre uses direct injection, variable valve timing and a twin-scroll turbo pumping at 20-psi. But there is more to it than that. The heads use the same metallurgy as the mighty Corvette ZR1. The special aluminum pistons have oil spray cooling. There is a two-stage thermostat and two-stage variable-displacement oil pump that enhance efficiency. The exhaust is specially configured to reduced backpressure with the bonus of a more throaty sound quality. And wait, there’s still more. Each of the two scrolls on the turbine is fed by a separate exhaust passage (one from cylinders one and four, the other from cylinders two and three) to virtually eliminate turbo

lag at low engine speeds thus giving the engine immediate throttle response. In the real world there was no difference I could feel between this and most V6s on the market when I drove it north from San Francisco to the Sonoma Valley region of California. Coupled with GM’s ubiquitous six-speed automatic, the engine/transmission never hunts for a lower gear or higher one when running on cruise control. On a mixture of secondary roads north of San Francisco as well as the California 101 expressway, the Malibu LTZ was perfectly civilized. Besides the engine, Chevrolet has come a long way with its interiors and the LTZ, being the top-of-the-line, was completely equipped with a host of features. There is not enough room to list them all but you get leather seating, dual-zone climate control, ambient blue interior lighting and remote start – not to mention power everything. Also part of the LTZ package is Chevy MyLink with a seveninch colour touch-screen radio, Bluetooth and USB port. I am not a huge fan of these infotainment systems but the MyLink does have a large screen that is not blotted out when hit by direct sun, which is a failing of some others. Me, I’m good with an old fashioned paper map but I understand people like the sense of security of being able to get where they are going especially in a strange area. With its sportier engine, the Malibu LTZ Turbo is also tuned for improved handling. The MacPherson strut front end features dual-path mountings which separate the transfer of spring damper loads to the body for a smoother-feeling ride overall and enhanced stability when cornering. New for the turbo model are internal rebound springs for the front struts that give the Malibu improved body motion control and roll damping in handling manoeuvres. GM’s Stabilitrak with traction control is standard on

of cargo volume, more than enough for four golf bags. The Chevrolet Malibu LTZ Turbo looks great and that is matched by an interior that no longer suffers from GM’s woeful use of the cheapest possible plastics in the 1990s that steered so many North Americans toward the imports. The new Turbo model should give Chevrolet a big boost in the mid-size sedan segment. DIGITAL SOUND August 23-29

Audi engineers credited with fuel breakthrough

Subaru earns safety award Subaru Canada announced the allnew 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek earned the U.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s top award for good performance in its moderate overlap frontal, side, rollover and rear impact evaluations. This distinction has helped Subaru pick up seven awards in total, enabling the automaker to become the only one earning a 2012 Top Safety Pick for every model it builds. The 2013 Top Safety Pick awards will be released in December of this year. Top Safety Pick recognizes vehicles that, in the institute’s testing, do the best job of protecting people in front, side, rear, and now rollover crashes based on good ratings in each category. The institute ranks in terms of good, acceptable, marginal and poor, with ‘good’ as the top rank possible in its tests.

New chapter in Beetle’s history

CABrioLeT deBuTS at Los Angeles auto show.

A new breath of fresh air will soon be blowing in the open-top car market created by a new Volkswagen, the Beetle Cabriolet. Making its world debut in November at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the car represents the next chapter in a unique automotive story. Following the original Beetle Convertible (Type 15), first launched in 1949, and the Beetle Cabriolet of 2002, it marks the third generation of the curva-

ceous Volkswagen soft-top that offers unprecedented practicality and open-top driving fun for four. The new model also incorporates design cues from the modern Volkswagen line up: the air inlet under the bumper, the flat contour of the hood’s bottom edge and in particular the tail lights show the car’s close family ties. Standard on the Beetle Cabriolet is a soft-top cover, which, if desired, tucks the opened top neatly away. Surrounding chrome trim accentuates the borders between steel and fabric. As in other Beetle models, the compact instrument

panel with an extra large round instrument cluster and several nostalgic elements, such as the additional glovebox, create a markedly different design inside the new Beetle Cabriolet as well. With its spacious and comfortably designed interior, the Beetle Cabriolet is a real four-seat vehicle. The 225-litre trunk includes a fold-down symmetrically split rear bench seat which allows bigger items to be transported even when the roof is closed. The new Beetle Cabriolet will be available with seven engines in global markets.

THE ULTIMATE DRIVING EXPERIENCE NOW LIVES IN NANAIMO.

The Ultimate Driving Experience®

Audi engineers have contributed to a breakthrough by helping to develop fuels for the TFSI and TDI engines of the very near future using nothing more than lengths of ordinarylooking pipe, waste CO2, sunlight and microscopic organisms suspended in waste water. The new wonder-fuels have been developed by Audi and its US-based specialist fuels partner Joule. The “refineries” responsible for them are the photosynthetic microorganisms injected into brackish water standing in the lengths of pipe. Measuring around three thousandths of a millimetre in diameter, these organisms have been genetically modified to prevent them from multiplying using the sunlight-aided photosynthesis process as they normally would. Instead, they are stimulated to use this process to convert the waste CO2 and the waste water into liquid fuels which they then secrete, and which can then be easily separated from the water and concentrated without the need for any further manufacturing steps. The unparalleled global viability of these new fuels lies not only in the exceptionally simple and relatively inexpensive process which creates them, but also in the fact that the feedstock used to produce them is entirely renewable. The crop-based biomass that has traditionally been a key constituent of synthetic fuels, and that could often otherwise be used for human consumption, is not required here. This has the added advantage of removing the need to locate the fuel production facility near habitable or arable land – a remote desert facility is entirely feasible. Proof of this fact can be found in an unfertile, sun-baked region of the U.S. state of New Mexico, where Audi and Joule have commissioned a demonstration facility which is already producing sustainable e-ethanol. This has the same chemical properties as bioethanol, a fuel which is consistently gaining in popularity, but which has the disadvantage of being produced using biomass. It will be possible to blend up to 85 per cent Audi e-ethanol with as little as 15 per cent fossil-fuel petrol for use by vehicles capable of running on E85 fuel. Audi and Joule are also currently in the process of ramping up the same facility to produce a sustainable and exceptionally pure Audi e-diesel fuel. In contrast to petroleum-based diesel, which is a mixture of a wide variety of organic compounds, this fuel is not only free of sulphur and aromatics, but is also easy to ignite thanks to its high cetane value, giving it exceptional performance credentials that promote outstanding engine operating efficiency. Audi engineers with extensive know-how in the areas of fuel and engine testing are helping to further develop these remarkable fuels so that they can genuinely be brought to market.

November 24, 1937 ~ August 23, 2012

IN MEMORIAM GIFTS

If I had my life to live over again, I would wish I met you sooner, So that I could have loved you longer. My heart still aches in sadness, And secret tears still flow, But I know the gate to heaven Was left open for you. Miss you. Love, Marlon â€œMisseyâ€?

DEATHS

June Anne Doyle (Brooks), born June 7 1945, passed away peacefully on August 14th, 2013. The family is grateful for the high quality of care from the nurses, doctors and the volunteers at the Palliative Care unit and the kind support of the Nanaimo Hospice and Home Care Nursing. June is predeceased by her parents, Lucienne and John and her mother-in-law and father-in-law, Fern and Wilf Doyle. She leaves behind husband, Wayne Doyle and daughters Deanna Doyle and Colleen (Mark)Wilson and grandchildren Lauren, Marie Legath and Trevor Wilson. A beautiful lady, June was always kind, gracious and blessed with a beautiful spirit. She will be sadly missed, but never forgotten. The rich, loving memories of her life with family and friends will forever fill the rest of our lives with warmth and inspiration. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, friend, teacher and enjoyed her time with family, travelling and living on Vancouver Island. June loved seeing the charm and beauty of the humming birds in her garden. They seem to symbolize joy and beauty and remind us that every connection in life has meaning. June lived her life with much joy and lived it to the fullest with such grace and showed great courage as she battled cancer. She will be forever loved and honored in our hearts.

Bob (Hugh Robert) NISBET July 4, 1942 ~ August 10, 2013

Bob was born in Nanaimo, BC. He lived most of his life at Cassidy, BC, then moved to Extension, BC. He graduated from Nanaimo Secondary School then began his working career at Crofton Mill. After early retirement, he pursued many interests â€“ hiking, canoeing, kayaking, hunting, fishing, photography, music, road trips, reading and listening to stories of the olden days. Bob was extremely dedicated to safety. His vehicles were always expertly maintained and of course, always polished. In his later retirement years Bob met his partner and companion, Maudine. They shared interests including travel and cooking. Bob was predeceased by his mother, Rose; and his infant daughter, Dynette Dawn. He is survived by his sons, Rob, and Dayle (Ellie); their mother, Jean; his grandchildren: Andy, Jake, and Jazmine; as well as sisters, Sheila and Sharron; and brother-in-law, Carl Anderson; his father, Hugh of Ladysmith and Maudine. Bob was taken tragically in Victoria, BC. We have broken hearts, but memories that will last a lifetime. When you remember Bob, please honor him by helping others as he did, caring for the environment and taking quiet moments to enjoy the beauty of planet earth. Donations, in memory of Bob, would be appreciated. Please consider either the Heart and Stroke Foundation, 401-495 Dunsmuir St, Nanaimo, B.C.
