Vehicle safety branch checks school bus BY KARL YU THE NEWS BULLETIN
CHRIS BUSH/THE NEWS BULLETIN
The life of a young Nanaimo man and the start of a vacation for a couple in a motorhome both ended in a head-on collision on the Island Highway near the Duke Point Highway turnoff Monday. The investigation by police and the B.C. Coroners Service is focusing on why the car that hit the motorhome was being driven on the wrong side of the highway.

ANOTHER MAN taken to hospital with severe burns sustained after collision. BY CHRIS BUSH THE NEWS BULLETIN
The B.C. Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of a man who died in a collision south of Nanaimo Monday. Ryan James Jackson, 20, of Nanaimo, died at the scene when the car he was driving collided head-on with a
motorhome on the Island Highway near the turnoff for the Duke Point Highway shortly after 11:15 a.m. Jackson was the driver and sole occupant of the car. The male driver of the motorhome has been transported to a burn treatment unit in Vancouver for injuries he suffered when the motorhome caught fire following the crash. Cpl. Norm Smith, head of Nanaimo RCMP Municipal Traffic Services, said Tuesday that police were still trying to determine why Jackson’s car was being driven on the wrong side of the highway.
The car was travelling northbound in the southbound lane of the highway when it crashed head-on into the motorhome. The impact tossed debris more than 40 metres and triggered a fire in the motorhome occupied by a couple, estimated to be in their 60s. The driver of the motorhome was trapped by the vehicle’s steering wheel, but was pulled free of the vehicle by firefighters as they were knocking down the blaze. The man’s wife was reportedly walking and conscious when emergency crews arrived, but was also taken to hospital. ◆ See ‘POLICE’ /4
Parents are concerned about student safety after a school bus was pulled over by Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement near Yellow Point Tuesday. The bus services Route 12 in the school district – primary, intermediate and secondary school students from Yellow Point and Kulleet Bay to Ladysmith – and according to Donna Reimer, communications director for the school district, provincial regulations state there can be three elementary students to a seat and two secondary students to a seat. Reimer said she doesn’t believe the bus was over its 84-passenger limit when it was stopped, but it still had a couple of students to pick up. The driver took the students to school before returning for the remaining two. “What’s happened is because the routes have changed, the students don’t have as much space as they used to, the bus is fuller than it used to be and so they’re not used to sitting as many of them together as they have been in the past,” Reimer said. Crowded school buses have been on the minds of parents, including Paul Gunnell. “It’s illegal to actually have school kids standing on a bus. The only buses that are legally allowed to have standing room only are transit buses in the city – tour buses and school buses are not allowed,” Gunnell said. The school district has walk limits beyond which it will bus students. Students that are inside walk limits can get on a bus as courtesy riders but are not guaranteed a spot. Reimer said the school district is in the process of registering students for the bus and, in the meantime, has put another bus on the route. The number of students eligible for bus transportation is expected to be less than capacity. “We expect once the registration is done, that it’ll be a matter of if the bus is over its capacity, then there will be some courtesy riders who won’t be allowed to ride,” Reimer said, adding that once registration is complete – it will take about a week – one bus will once again service Route 12. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Conservation officers kill cougar, bear The News BulleTiN
Conservation officers in Nanaimo were forced to catch and euthanize a young cougar and shoot a young bear this week. The cougar was caught in a live trap early Tuesday in the Hammond Bay area, but conservation officers had little choice other than euthanizing the animal. Sgt. Ben York, conservation officer supervisor for mid-Island region, said his office received numerous calls about the cougar from residents, ranging from Fillinger Crescent to McGirr Road and even Uplands Drive, for about two weeks. “The cougar had not done anything aggressive towards people or pets, but it was being seen regularly during daylight hours in urban residential areas,” York said. “People could scare it away, but it was sitting in driveways and backyards in the middle of the day.” The unusual behaviour told conservation officers the animal had become habituated to the presence
“
livestock and it was not leaving the area.” On Saturday a conservation officer attended a yard where there were chickens on Strickland Street. The officer was able to approach within 10 metres of the animal and it showed no fear. It had become so habituated to humans relocation was not an option, so the officer opted to shoot the animal in the interest of public safety. Again it was livestock and other food attractants in the area that offered the bear easy fare and ultimately contributed to its demise, York said. For conservation officers who got into their line of work to protect wildlife, having to destroy an animal is the worst part of their job and they become angry with the public when people will not harvest fruit, or refuse to secure pet food and garbage that attracts wildlife into urban areas. “Something I say quite often is that we might be the ones that pull the trigger, but the public is the one that killed the animal,” York said.
Union of B.C. Municipalities will draw politicians from across the province to the Vancouver Conference Centre to discuss 150 resolutions and meet with government officials. It’s rare for city officials to go and not come back with valuable new information for the city, according to Ruttan. Councillors Bill McKay, George Anderson, Diana Johnstone, Ted Greves and Diane Brennan will be representing the City of Nanaimo at the event. Officials from the District of Lantzville and the Regional District of Nanaimo will also be at the convention. Lantzville is presenting a resolution for increased legal aid funding – a move anticipated to help reduce backlogs in the B.C. court system.
While the Terry Fox Run is set for Sunday (Sept. 15), residents of Lakeside Gardens Retirement Community will be taking part in their own cancer research fundraiser. The inaugural Silver Fox Walk will take place on Saturday (Sept. 14) at 11 a.m. at the Wellesley Avenue complex and according to Lakeside Gardens’ recreation director Vicki Podetz, it will be less strenuous. “It won’t be a long walk, it’s more of a symbolic walk than anything because the average age of our residents is about 85,” Podetz said. “This is not a competition to see how many kilometres we walk or anything like that.” The retirement community will be accepting pledges as a whole, as opposed to residents seeking individual pledges, but the proceeds will still go to the Terry Fox Foundation for cancer research and Podetz estimates 10 to 20 people will be taking part. THELMA YOUNG Thelma Young, who has been a resident at the community for five years, said the event is important – as the old axiom goes, everybody knows somebody who has had cancer. “I’m doing it because I like to see people active,” Young said. She remembers well when Terry Fox embarked on his Marathon of Hope in April of 1980. “That was really something, the way [he] did it, right across Canada,” said Young. “I thought he did really well, I mean gosh, to do that, it would take a lot of energy and thought, love for others – it’s pretty hard.” “We know the millions of dollars that the Terry Fox Foundation has raised for cancer research and that’s really gone a long way and of course, the legacy of Terry Fox has been something that people have grabbed on to in Canada,” said Podetz. “We’re excited about doing it. It’s because it is our first time of doing it and we’re just looking forward to it and having an impact in our community and you’re never too old to do that sort of stuff,” she said.

ronment with a lot of prey, predators are going to move in and we’re not going to put the public at risk,” York said. A small, young bear met a similar fate in south Nanaimo Saturday at about 4:30 p.m. “It was a sub-adult male, probably on its first year away from mama,” York said. Calls had been coming in for several weeks about the bear in backyards, chasing chickens and displaying no fear of humans. At one call York responded to, RCMP officers were trying to ward of the bear by throwing rocks at it. “It just stared at them until they actually hit it and then it just ambled off,” York said. “So again, it was an animal showing extreme habituation to human beings, had already shown an interest in

City council to talk dam safety with minister By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN
Nanaimo city council wants the B.C. minister of natural resources to help chart the future of the Colliery dams. Nanaimo city officials are meeting with B.C. Natural Resources Minister Steve Thomson during the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention next week. According to Mayor John Ruttan, the meeting is geared at explaining to the minister why the city hasn’t been able to commit to final actions for the century-old structures, designated a public safety hazard. City officials will also present the new short-term mitigation plan and ask for Thompson to weigh in on a long-term
approach for addressing structural challenges with the middle and lower Colliery dams. The convention is also anticipated to be an opportunity for Nanaimo council members to network and explore municipal approaches to issues like parking and taxation. The City of Nanaimo is not presenting any resolutions. “The province of B.C. and especially the Dam Safety Branch approves or disallows anything that we are doing when it comes to mitigation on the dams,” Ruttan said, adding he doesn’t want to run into issues with non-compliance. “We want to know [the B.C. government is] supporting our plan moving forward.” The five-day annual convention of

of humans. Tests done after the cougar was put down showed it did not have any diseases, such as rabies, that could otherwise account for the behaviour. “It was a younger animal and, frankly, the reason it was there is because the place is polluted with deer,” York said. “It found a place with tons of food and it stayed.” York said the decision was made to destroy the animal because it had become used to urban environments and relocating it would only mean it would find its way back to a similar environment and pose a risk to humans and pets there. “There is no way to retrain the animal, no way that teaches it to go back to the wild,” York said. York said residents should never feed or otherwise attract deer – and consequently their predators – to urban environments. Often cougars will come into town and then leave again after a short period, but this animal was ‘setting up shop.’ There is no conservation concern with cougar populations on Vancouver Island, which has one of the highest cougar population densities in North America. “The fact of the matter is when you create an envi-

Council urges caution on dam safety costs
ALMANAC Weather
BY TAMARA CUNNINGHAM THe NewS BuLLeTIN
A Nanaimo city councillor is urging spending precautions as short-term safety plans for the Colliery dams are put in motion. Nanaimo city council voted unanimously to act on new short-term mitigation measures for the Colliery dams Monday. The strategy, geared to roll out over the next seven weeks, will use water monitoring, neighbourhood information blitzes and new warning sirens to scale back potential hazards posed by the middle and lower dams. There will also be community emergency drills for 1,800 people that live immediately downstream of the century-old structures, which the B.C. Dam Safety Branch has designated as an extreme public risk during a major earthquake or flood. Council members thanked those involved in the plan for finding ways to address public safety issues in the interim, but some worried about costs. Coun. Jim Kipp said he was concerned about spending money on an “unprioritized emergency and safety risk,” while Coun. Bill Bestwick urged city staff members to use caution when acting on the new strategy. The new measures are expected to cost between $50,000 and $100,000, but could go as high as $200,000, according to Toby Seward, the city’s general manager of community safety and development. The expense will add to the $700,000 already spent to determine the fate of Colliery Dam Park and is expected to come from this year’s budget. Bestwick said that while public safety is important, “surely I trust we will be very cautious in our expenditures as we move forward with some of these suggestions.” The new plan was created with the help of community groups like the Colliery Dam Preservation Society and Snuneymuxw First Nation. Jeff Solomon with the preservation society, said he hopes the initiative will eventually be used as part of a city-wide emergency planning framework. The initiative will involve new emergency information signs around Harewood and sirens similar to tsunami alert systems in Tofino and Port Alberni. City officials are now seeking sole-source contracts to install the siren systems and help address other key projects in the short-term mitigation plan. Brian Clemens, the city’s director of finance, said money spent will come out of this year’s budget and will not affect taxes in 2014. But the initiatives prelude the larger question of what happens to the dams over the long term. The answer could hold tax implications for Nanaimo, he said. “I don’t want to downplay the amount it’s cost for design ... or mitigation, but the actual capital project – what we are going to do with repairs or removal – is going to be the most expensive part of it,” Clemens said. news@nanaimobulletin.com

New hospital care model rolls out
I
uNioN ExprESSES concern over impact on patient care.
By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN
Vancouver Island Health Authority is committed to rolling out its new care model at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital, despite criticism the change will hurt patient care. Robyne Maxwell, the director of the health authority’s new care delivery model redesign, said it has no plans to delay staff changes at Nanaimo’s hospital or do an independent review of its model as the B.C. Nurses’ Union and members of the public have demanded. Staffing changes are set to begin next week. The health authority and the nurses’ union have been at loggerheads over the new care delivery model since staff changes were announced last spring. Until that point, nurses had been largely supportive of model changes – which included more team meetings about patient care and paper resources, union members say. The new initiative is set to replace some registered and licensed practical nurses with care aides. According to the health authority, the replacement strategy is meant to help the hospital adapt to the changing needs of its patients which are coming to the hospi-
tal with greater needs for daily living care. Nurses have been helping patients with baths and trips to the bathroom in between jobs they were trained for, like medical administration and care assessments. By creating an additional 51 permanent care aide positions, nurses will be freed up for other floors and tasks they were educated to do, Maxwell said, adding that patients will receive speedier care as a result. But the nurses’ union has pushed back against the change, which they claim is a cost-cutting measure that will leave fewer qualified professionals to monitor and assess patients. As a result, there could be higher infection rates and length of stays, and nurses could miss signs of patients getting sicker. Care aides also have limited training compared to other health care professionals, likely leading the remaining nurses to double up on work with care aides and increase the number of patients they’re responsible for, said Jo Salken, Pacific Rim regional chairwoman for the nurses’ union. The union has called for VIHA to halt the process and commission an independent review to prove this is the best way forward for patients. Members of the public have also submitted 3,000 signature petitions with concerns about the care delivery model. But the health authority has no plans to slow down
implementation of its new model and says it will devote resources to help staff adapt to the change. “I believe this is the right thing ... I believe that it’s going to make nurses ... happier because they are going to be continuing to do patient care they are uniquely educated to do,” Maxwell said. “[And] patients and families are going to feel more supported, having the right provider providing care.” There have been no loss of jobs in the transition to date, but according to the nurses’ union, 26 licenced practical nurses and registered nurses have been removed off some floors and put on vacation relief, casual positions or in other wards. Those remaining fear they will not have enough professional support to provide patient care because care aides are not trained to take full vital signs or distribute medication. With fewer nurses on a floor, BCNU also anticipates nurses will be responsible for more patients and have less time for bedside care. “A patient could be getting sicker and we might miss it because we are not [in the room] enough to asses the patient and actually see it happening,” Salken said. Vancouver Island Health Authority says it will monitor patient outcomes as the changes start to roll out, beginning Friday (Sept. 13).

Project Lifesaver brings loved ones home

WRIST DEVICE transmits radio signal that assists lifeline, search and rescue.
United Way sets sights on $750,000 target By Karl yu The News BulleTiN
People can order the service for an initial cost of about $300 for the purchase of the transmitter plus a $25 monthly service fee. Battery change once each month is crucial because if the battery in the transmitter unit fails the system is useless. “We do all the intake information, handle the money and get the transmitter out there,” Ryan said. “Our volunteers or staff will actually do a monthly visit to do maintenance because it’s a monthly maintenance for replacing batteries and bracelets.” For more information about Project Lifesaver or to enrol a loved one in the program, please call the Nanaimo Lifeline program at 250-327-8599.
With a goal of $750,000, the local United Way begins its fundraising campaign with a breakfast. The campaign runs from September through December, and the annual KickOff Breakfast set for Sept. 20 at Vancouver Island Conference Centre in Nanaimo, will start things off with proceeds going to various programs. The usual breakfast staples are on the menu, including yogurt, granola, eggs, bacon, sausage and croissants, and the theme of this year’s event is “Are you an agent of change?” “One of the things we’ve got is a cutout of a gentleman in a trench coat with a hat on, kind of like a spy, a secret agent, so we’re asking many of our corporate donors and some of our individual donors – anybody that comes for breakfast – to be taking pictures of people By supporting with the cutout and using united Way ... those on our you’re making a website,” said Signy Madpositive change den, executive in the community. director of the United Way for Central and Northern Vancouver Island. “By supporting the United Way, volunteering or donating, you’re making a positive change in the community.” Madden said the United Way is supporting 60 programs this year and it covers a diverse area. “We really need the support and it’s just a way for people to go, ‘The United Way is here, it’s our time to give and to help the homeless, children who witness abuse’,” she said. “There’s a huge range of programs that are funded through United Way.” The kick-off event brings together corporate donors, community partners, agencies and anyone else in the community who wants to support United Way to listen to speakers talk about how their donations make a difference, said Madden. “Usually they’re heart-warming tales of how people have been helped through the funded agencies,” Madden said. The breakfast event begins at 7 a.m. and tickets cost $30 a person or $300 for a table of 10 and can be ordered through http://uwcnvikickoff.eventbrite.ca. People can call the local United Way office at 250729-7400 for more information.

hen people go missing it can take days to find them. Some are never found. Nanaimo Search and Rescue has introduced a system specially designed to help find people with cognitive challenges, such as dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, autism and Down syndrome, who wander off. Project Lifesaver International, a non-profit organization based in Chesapeake, Va., that works with law enforcement agencies in Canada and the U.S., has developed a radio tracking system similar to those used to by researchers to track wildlife. The system has essentially been miniaturized to a device about the size of a wrist watch the user wears on a wrist or ankle and can drastically cut down the time it takes searchers to find someone. “The typical find time, once we get on scene is down to 30 minutes,” said Kyle Van Delft, Nanaimo Search and Rescue team leader. “Things like GPS and cell service have all been tried. They eat through batteries quickly and they don’t work inside buildings and parking structures and dense forests.” The radio frequency the system uses passes through reinforced concrete structures and foliage and uses little battery power to broadcast its signal. Van Delft said the frequency of people going missing is increasing as the local population and its average age rises. “It’s not a huge number, but it is on the rise just like everything,” Van Delft said. “Whether it’s people in the backcountry going exploring and pushing their limits or it’s people in town. It’s all on the rise for us.” When a loved one goes missing, caregivers call the police and the search and rescue team is sent out to the area from where the person wandered. Van Delft said search and rescue volunteers have been training on the system since it was introduced here in mid August. The system boasts a nearly 100 per cent find rate unless the wearer cuts off the transmitter and leaves it behind, which happens occasionally. Nanaimo Search and Rescue and Nanaimo Lifeline, the agency contracted to handle the sales and maintenance of the devices, are trying to get the word out that the system is

now available locally. Joan Ryan, Nanaimo Lifeline executive director, said most people who go missing are found within a couple of kilometres of their homes. She said the system has already had success in the Victoria region where one woman was tracked down on a ferry. “They tracked her from Sidney to the ferry terminal where the signal got fainter and fainter,” Ryan said. “They called the police who were waiting for her on the other side.” Ryan related a second story about a woman who cut off her transmitter and dropped it in her purse. She was found at a bus terminal and picked out from the crowd with a photo taken of her when her family signed up for the system.

EDITORIAL
Dam delays wasting money Fixing a leak doesn’t come cheap. The Colliery Dams, those centuryold slabs that are continuing to keep Harewood high and dry, have at least another year’s reprieve. But even if the concrete isn’t cracking yet, those old dams are starting to put a gaping crevasse in the public purse. This week, Nanaimo city staff laid out a plan for short-term flood mitigation that will cost somewhere between $50,000$200,000. Add that to the $700,000 the city had previously spent on dam decision making and that’s a whole lot of money to accomplish very little. Taxpayers are on the hook for these costs, and what have we gained? We haven’t brought in a single jackhammer or cement mixer. For that matter, we haven’t even decided if these dams are going to be demolished, reinforced or rebuilt. From the start, the city followed public process, elected officials made a decision and staff set out to address a safety risk. For better or worse, a vocal minority decided that wasn’t good enough and forced its own process. City council wavered the whole way, pushed, prodded and pulled by public opinion. Everyone involved has had only the best intentions, but we’re left with a worst-case outcome, in a way – hard feelings and high costs. A lot of folks outside Harewood are probably sick and tired of this whole dam issue and won’t be impressed to learn that this months-long civic rendition of Kumbaya has cost them three quarters of a million dollars. Whatever we decide with the dams, we had better make sure we get value for dollar the rest of the way. That should be a central tenet of any publicly funded project. This dam dispute is getting costly and we’ve got nothing to show for it. And that isn’t money well spent.

Even with federal and provincial cost sharing, this project is going to land heavily on property tax bills, including those of pensioners and poor renters who will have it passed on to them. Leonard points to another arbitrary system – provincial facilities that pay grants in lieu of property taxes. Saanich is home to the University of Victoria, a community of 25,000 people that needs water and sewer service, as well as police and fire protection. Saanich gets an annual grant in lieu of property taxes of $120,000 for UVic, enough to cover wages and benefits for one cop and maybe some gas money. Cariboo Regional District chairman Al Richmond, co-chairman of the UBCM committee, is concerned about new water and flood protection legislation the province is preparing to impose. His district and others like it have thousands of kilometres of riverfront, with relatively few property owners. Interior communities also want B.C. Hydro to pay something for power lines, as is now being done with some aboriginal territories. u Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalNews.com.

To the Editor,
Re: Nanaimo businesses preparing for influx of Chinese tourists, Aug. 29. I am impressed with the enthusiastic reaction of the downtown merchants. As newcomers to Nanaimo from Toronto, my wife and I have made many new friends and often discuss the growth of the area. We all agree that an allyear-round market would be a great asset to downtown, a market that would showcase local products like the fish around our shores, the many Island cheeses, the wines produced locally, the good coffees that are ground on the Island, the beer from our many micro breweries, the local produce and of course a restaurant and coffee shop. Just a suggestion from an interested observer.

School board’s safety priorities misguided
“All members are authorized to vote.”
To the Editor,
Re: Dam hazard concerns school district, Sept. 3. I am curious why Jamie Brennan and the rest of the school trustees believe it is their role to decide what risk mitigation should be chosen for the Colliery dams. It has been established that removing the dams is not the only risk mitigation possible and we didn’t hear a peep out of said board members all last year (dams haven’t changed since last year and we now know them to be safer). I acknowledge, as has been shown in the reports, that the spillways and dam deficiencies need to be addressed and there are methods and means to do that. However, the school board weighing in on the methods used is very curious to me, especially given that there isn’t the same degree of concern for schools that have yet to be seismically upgraded. That would seem to be a better focus since there would be far more children affected if we were to have an earthquake than from our piddly dams.

Re: Pot referendum a waste of money, Letters, Sept. 3. The letter writer asks if Dana Larsen, director for Sensible B.C., is “footing the bill” for the referendum. Sensible B.C. pays the costs of the petition to initiate a referendum to change the provincial Police Act. If there are 400,000 signatures collected by Dec. 5, the subsequent referendum in 2014 becomes a public expense. However, the costs associated with the referendum are dwarfed by the policing expenses which are now consumed in investigating, arresting, charging, prosecuting and executing the sentence of those in possession of marijuana. British Columbians now pay at least $10 million every year for enforcing possession of marijuana charges. The letter writer alleges that “our track record of keeping tobacco out of the hands of children is not good and the same will happen with marijuana if it is openly available in the home.” According to Health Canada, 27 per cent of 15-19 year olds were smokers in 1985, compared to 17 per cent today. This significant decline in the use of Canada’s deadliest legal drug is likely the result of public education and strict regulations around the advertising and sale of tobacco. Apparently, it is possible to keep children from drugs without threatening to lock them up.

Sierra Club speakers oppose incinerator
I
iNfo SESSioN offers alternatives to burning garbage.
Sierra Club Nanaimo is hosting an information session on Tuesday (Sept. 17) about alternatives to incineration as a way to manage solid waste. The purpose of the event, held at John Barsby Secondary School at 7 p.m., is to encourage community members to learn about zerowaste strategies and counter the claims that incineration of waste is a clean, green, or efficient way to generate power. The event features guest
speakers, including Ananda Lee Tan, the U.S. and Canada coordinator for the Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives, an international network of more than 800 community-based organizations in 100 countries organizing against polluting industries such as incinerators and landfills. Over the past 20 years Lee worked on labour justice, environmental justice, antiwar, climate change, sustainable forestry and sustainable agriculture campaigns around the world. In recent years, Lee helped convene a Climate Justice Alliance for social, economic and environmental justice groups with the aim of build-

Anthropology student earns award
I
CelIa whITe investigated ‘voluntourism.’
A Vancouver Island University anthropology and global studies graduate is the first Canadian university student to take top prize in the National Association for the Practice of Anthropology’s Student Achievement Award. Celia White, who graduated in June, took first place with her paper on volunteer tourism, entitled Questioning Volun-
tourism, and will receive a certificate and $300 in prize money. The paper, based on a negative experience working as a volunteer tourist at a Costa Rican biological station for turtles, could be published in an academic journal. “Often volunteer tourists travel to a community they think is marginalized or disenfranchised, inferior or underdeveloped,” White said. “They arrive in the host community believing that they are aiding or helping

to develop the local people. In fact, volunteer tourists are usually unskilled, don’t speak the language and have no experience or education in what they are volunteering in. “Their presence can disempower the local community and create a negative relationship where the local people’s insights, wisdom and experience aren’t valued. In reality, the local people’s knowledge and understanding of the complexities and history of their community are far greater.” White concludes Questioning Voluntourism by encouraging prospective volunteer tourists to question volunteer tourism projects and to be aware of any detrimental aspects before taking part in
them, although she does say volunteer tourism projects are beneficial if managed the right way and controlled by local people. “My hope is to shed light on the often unseen or unquestioned aspects of volunteering abroad and to warn people to be more critical about signing up for projects. Really ask yourself if the project will be beneficial locally or internationally,” she said. White will attend the association’s November meeting in Chicago to accept the award and mingle with other anthropologists from across the globe. The paper was written for Vancouver Island University professor Lynette Harper two years ago.

V.I. Raiders can climb to first I JR. FOOTBALL squad will host Langley Rams. BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
Things can change in a hurry in the B.C. Football Conference. The V.I. Raiders, buoyed by a big win last weekend, are now about to battle for first place. The men in black host the Langley Rams this Saturday (Sept. 14) at Caledonia Park. Nanaimo is coming off a 45-17 victory over the Okanagan Sun last weekend. “A big win like that kind of gives everybody a sense of belief that what we are doing and the path we’re on is the right one,” said Matthew (Snoop) Blokker, Raiders coach. It could be a turning point in the season, but that’s yet to be determined. “If we don’t win this week, I guess it’s not that much of a turning point,” the coach said. So the focus falls completely now on the task at hand, a matchup with B.C.’s defending champions. Not many opposing teams win at Caledonia Park, but the Rams have done it twice in row – last fall’s provincial championship, and then a 36-28 game last month. “We’re going to see who’s gotten better since the last time we played,” said Blokker.

V.I. Raiders receiver Dylan Schrot finds running room against the Langley Rams earlier this season at Caledonia Park. The teams play for first place in the B.C. Football Conference this Saturday (Sept. 14) in Nanaimo.
“We’re healthier than we’ve been, we feel we’re playing better than we have and we’ve got a little more confidence than what we had when we played them the first time.” Ashton Galloway, V.I. fullback, said the Raiders are a totally different team than they were five weeks ago. “We’ve progressively been getting better during the season,” he said.
“Every single week, at practice we get better and better.” The Rams are coming off a blowout win themselves, 49-17 over the Westshore Rebels last weekend in which they were led by tailback Kyle Albertini’s 215 rushing yards. Blokker said the teams’ offences have some similarities – both can run the ball effectively, and both have receivers that
demand double coverage. Blokker said the Raiders’ D isn’t having as many lapses lately, and its up-front play has been effective at stopping the run. One of the keys, the coach said, will be to try to contain Langley’s quarterback Jahlani Gilbert-Knorren who leads the BCFC in both passing and rushing touchdowns. The Raiders’ primary goal on Saturday will be
to win a football game, obviously, but if they can manage to win by nine points or more, they will ascend to the top of the standings. “That’s what ever y team wants and that’s exactly what we want,” said Galloway. GAME ON … The Raiders and Rams kick off Saturday at 2 p.m. at Caledonia Park. Tickets will be available at the gate. sports@nanaimobulletin.com
VIU Mariners willing to work up a sweat T h e Va n c o u v e r Island University Mariners men’s soccer program has proven to be a perennial contender. The challenge is to stay at that level. This year’s VIU Mariners (1-1) make their home debut Saturday (Sept. 14) at Merle Logan Field after splitting against UBC-Okanagan and Thompson Rivers this past weekend. The M’s are working to rebuild their core.
Coach Bill Merriman said this year reminds him of his first year with the program. The difference now, perhaps, is that VIU has a national reputation. It attracts top recruits and it expects to win. “They come with that kind of hope,” said Merriman. “Whether it happens, well, in our league you never know.” The returnees include Chris Arnett,
Dan Cato, Jamie Taylor, Mateo Kostering, Nick Moore and Blaze Roberts. Farhad Abdulgani, Renan Rebelatto, Keegan Lang and Miguel Banting are some of the newcomers who are expected to make an impact. Merriman said he’s been impressed with the work ethic players have shown. “We dress in the jersey and we’re going for it,” Rebelatto

said. “[In] soccer you never know if you’re going to win or not but at least we’re going to go and sweat the jersey.” GAME ON … The M’s play Langara on Saturday at 3 p.m. and take on Quest on Sunday at 2 p.m. Both games are at Merle Logan Field.

Top line leading Clippers Some of the Clippers are clicking right away. The Nanaimo Clippers’ new first line of Brendan Taylor, Devin Brosseau and Sheldon Rempal led the team to back-toback wins to start the 2013-14 B.C. Hockey League season. Each member of the line tallied four points at the BCHL Showcase in Chilliwack, where the Clips beat the West Kelowna Warriors 6-4 and the Prince George Spruce Kings 3-1. Taylor, a veteran from Nanaimo, has been lining up with Rempal, from Calgary, and Brosseau, from St. Lambert, Que., since the start of the pre-season. What they’re doing seems to be working so far. “We kind of play the same way – we like to attack the net,” Brosseau said. “It’s mostly our chemistry. We look for each other on the ice and we try to make nice plays and put pucks to the net.” He said the Clippers just tried to go “with the flow” when they had the puck. “In the offensive zone [we had] a good cycle, getting pucks to the net, and the power play was working, too,” said Rempal. Players said there are a lot of things to work on as they get ready for a game Friday (Sept. 13) at Port Alberni, but one thing that’s coming easily is energy. “[We need to] just bring it again,” Rempal said. “I know we were all pumped up for [last] weekend. Just carry that over to this weekend.” GAME ON … The Clippers and Alberni Valley Bulldogs face off Friday at 7 p.m. at Weyerhaeuser Arena. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

BY GREG SAKAKI THe NeWS BULLeTIN
You can’t lose if you don’t get scored on. The Nanaimo Redmen won their second straight game by a shutout score in Vancouver Mainland Football League play, beating the Chilliwack Giants 14-0 on Sunday at May Richards Bennett Pioneer Park. The red team led just 4-0 at halftime, but broke through for a major to start the third quarter. Coach Sean Roden said his team’s defence led the way against the Giants. “They had no answer for what we were doing on defence,” he said. “Even though the game was tight all the way through, it felt

like we were in control of the game the whole way.” Marcus Severe scored Nanaimo’s touchdown, Spencer Vos kicked two field goals and Jacob Odynsky, Ron MacDonald and Jake Borserio had interceptions. Borserio also recovered an onside kick. “It’s looking good, but there’s still some really good teams on the mainland so we’re not looking too far,” said Odynsky. “It’s just 2-0. It’s a good start but we’ve got a long way to go.” GAME ON … The Redmen visit the North Delta Longhorns this coming weekend. The VMFL has yet to release the entire season’s schedule.

Vancouver Island University’s women’s soccer team knows how important every minute of the match can be. The team will keep that in mind as it plays its home opener Saturday (Sept. 14) at Merle Logan Field. Coach Anup Kang said the team didn’t do as well as it might have last season because it would play 88 or 89 good minutes and have a lapse. “So we’ve been really harping on this group of playing a full 90 minutes consistently,” he said. Becky Weiss, veteran player, said part of that comes down to confidence. “We all have really good skill, but it’s when we doubt ourselves that we stop playing,” she said. “As long as we’re all confident
and we realize that we can take that touch and play the ball we’ll get into the game that focus will come with that.” She said the team as a whole pressures really well and doesn’t settle for losing the ball. “We have a lot of hard workers and people who are ready to dig to get that ball back,” she said. Samantha Rodgers, Jessica Burma, Rachel Jones, Jessie Weninger, Caity Genereaux, Emma Johannson and Shelby Walker are some of the returning players and Moira Brown and Kaylee Dodds are some of the newcomers who will contribute.

The Nanaimo Buccaneers get a chance to try to build on their strong start to the season. The city’s Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League team (2-0) plays the Oceanside Generals tonight (Sept. 12) at 7:15 p.m. at the Nanaimo Ice Centre. The two teams played in Parksville last Saturday, a lively 6-4 win for the Bucs. “Our games get pretty intense, so we’ve got to make sure when we play these guys and the rest of the North Division, that we come out with our grit and play hard,” said Nick White, Bucs forward. The Bucs will visit Comox on Saturday.
Mariners golf starts strongly Vancouver Island University’s golf program made enough putts for a podium finish at the first tournament of the season. The men’s and women’s golf teams both finished second in Pacific Western Athletic Association play this past weekend at Morningstar Golf Club in Parksville. The Fraser Valley Cascades won in both men’s and women’s play. VIU’s Dallas Jones was runner-up in individual competition, two strokes off the pace. Mike Hrabowych placed fourth. In women’s action, VIU veteran Kalli Gordon led her team with a fifth-place individual finish.

Div. 1 Nanaimo United strong in home opener BY DArAGh FItZGerALD Nanaimo United got its league campaign off to a flyer. The Div. 1 men’s Vancouver Island Soccer League team defeated Prospect Lake 4-0 on Saturday at Merle Logan Field. Nanaimo started the game the better side and played some really good passing soccer at times which was appreciated by the big crowd in attendance. It didn’t take long for United to take the lead as a long throw from Matt Mehrassa was flicked on at the near post by Colin McDonald and found rookie Alex Escobar at the back post who swept home to put United ahead. Shortly after Scott Newlands was dragged down in the box and the referee awarded Nanaimo a penalty. The penalty was tucked away by Daragh Fitzgerald to give United a 2-0 lead at halftime. The second half brought more of the same although at times the flowing play deserted United. However all nerves were settled as midfield general Mehrassa jinked past the Prospect Lake defence and played in Escobar to thunder home his second. With United fully in control, McDonald netted a deserved fourth for United after good buildup play from Andrew Adams. GAME ON … United (1-0) hosts Cowichan FC (1-0) this Saturday (Sept. 14) at 7 p.m. at Merle Logan Field.

With heavy hearts we announce the sudden passing of Palmira Danielle Gomes Boutillier on August 19th 2013 in Halifax Nova Scotia. Palmira had many communities that she shared her life with: biologist, yoga instructor, journalist, organic farmer, social justice advocate, sustainable food advocate, member of the Halifax Shambhala Buddhist centre, and volunteer at the Halifax homeless shelter. A tribute on the Shambhala Centre website captures the essence of Palmira as they speak of “Palmira’s boundless spirit which embraced each person she met as though they had been a childhood friend and her authenticity, presence, strength and kindness.” Her west coast and east coast family and friends deeply miss their beloved Pal, and will always keep connected. Palmira’s example of living life fully connected to her family, friends and community will forever be imprinted on all those who were fortunate enough to know her. Her bright light will shine in our hearts forever. Family and friends are invited to gather for a Celebration of Palmira’s Life, Saturday, September 28th at 2 pm at the Pacific Biological Station, 3190 Hammond Bay Rd (watch for parking directions). No flowers please, a donation in Pal’s memory to your favourite cause is appreciated.

OSTRAND,
On Saturday, August 31, 2013, Mom passed away soon after visits from her many family members. Predeceased by her loving husband, Fred, in 2006; left to mourn are her children: Sonja (Tom) Mullan, Alf (Janet) Ostrand, Barry (Ginny) Ostrand, Beverley (Earl) Nicholson; grandchildren: Randall Mullan (Su-Lin Shum), Carrie (Dave) Maharajh, Corey (Heidi) Fleming, Kyla Nicholson (Todd Swanson), Jon Nicholson, Jillian Ostrand, Tess Ostrand; and two great granddaughters, Kirstin Maharajh and Valerie Mullan. Mom was born in New Finland, Saskatchewan on April 28, 1920, the third of eight children and grew up joyfully in Meadow Portage, Manitoba. She joined her older sister in Vancouver in the late 1930s where she met our Dad at a Scandinavian Dance. They lived in Ladysmith with their young family and came to Nanaimo in 1951. Mom passed on the greatest gifts for living. She taught us by example to be patient, kind, and loving. We cherish this legacy and also the memories of many wonderful family gatherings celebrated with Mom’s excellent cooking and baking, and the bounty and beauty of her garden. Thank you to Dr. Kazanowski and the wonderful staff at Kiwanis Lodge for your care and support given to our Mom and our family.

FUNDRAISER SEES roller derby teams flex muscles to help HerArt project. BY BETH HENDRY-YIM THE NEWS BULLETIN
The Brass Knuckle Derby Dames and Candy Crushers throw down the gauntlet in a friendly tug of war match Saturday (Sept 14) at Maffeo Sutton Park for the Nanaimo Women’s Centre’s Art in the Park. A major fundraiser and launch for the successful HerArt project, the event has the roller derby teams duelling other community and business groups in a pulling competition. Teams will not only win prizes but also have an opportunity to donate and bring awareness to the program. The free community event hosts live music with Ave, the Piano Man, Nightwatch, Debbie Ryan, Celeste, Sharon Dudka and Vickie Searle, as well as dance performances, a cake walk, free food and beverages, potato sack races, parachute games for the kids, face painting, raffles and hula hoop-making workshops. “There’s something for everyone,” said Darcie Davidson, event coordinator. “Even a community canvas that anyone can paint and add to.” Money raised will be used to provide free art classes and workshops to women of all ages. Last year the HerArt project was able to offer 10 workshops, some of which took place over several weeks and others that were completed in one day. One of the participating authors, Liza Potvin, said she learned as much from the women as they did from her. “It was wonderful watching the women explore their feelings and thoughts in a different medium.” Artists volunteer their time and expertise to present the workshops, beginning in March of next year, which includes jewelry making, painting, drumming, pottery, theatre, creative writing and poetry. Spon-
sors and money raised at Art in the Park provide supplies, equipment and venues for hosting the various classes. Davidson said that women dealing with homelessness, tenancy issues and poverty, experience many negatives. “The workshops engage in positives,” she said. “Providing a positive and encouraging format for selfexpression.” She added that women in poverty, engaged in a service-based perspective, are in many ways invisible. HerArt provides a social outlet for the expression of what social inclusion with no barriers could look like. “Art expands ones outlook so you aren’t just dealing with crises you’re engaging in creating community.” Bryn Brown, coordinator of the women’s centre added, “The workshops are a way for women to get connected and to create a dialogue through art.” And though the conversation begins over art it doesn’t end with the workshops; it culminates at Nanaimo Centre Stage showcasing and displaying the work the women have created, including theatre performances and art displays. This year with the awarding of a grant from the Kroener Foundation combined with money raised through Art in the Park, Davidson is looking to build the program, add more workshops for youth, increase exhibition space, present honorariums to participating artists and expand the project to include a HisArt component. Festivities at Art in the Park run from 10 am. to 5 p.m. Artists interested in participating are encouraged to take part in the events and connect with past workshop leaders and coordinators or contact the Nanaimo Women’s Centre. Gift baskets, gift certificates, and a host of donated prizes can be won in the tug of war, cakewalk and races and the community canvas will be available all day. editor@nanaimobulletin.com

Eastern jazz group travels west for show Since completing her studies at Humber College in Toronto, Sophia Perlman has become a fixture of the Ontario jazz and blues scene. Now the songstress takes her music on the road with a show at Simon Holt Tuesday (Sept. 17). Joining her at the show is Adrean Farrugia on piano; Ross MacIntyre on bass; and Jeff Halishuk on percussion.

Nanaimo News Bulletin B3
Artists focus on heritage
I
AnnuAl evenT links past through photos, paintings.
Painters and photographers will be on the streets of Nanaimo on Sunday (Sept. 15) to participate in the annual Heritage Paint Out Shoot Out competition. The event sees painters and photographers draw a heritage building at random and then challenges the artists to capture the essence of the building. “Combining art and heritage is a natural as far as Nanaimo’s downtown historic buildings are concerned,” said Chris Sholberg, heritage and community planner for the City of Nanaimo. “The buildings make interesting subject matter for the artists and photographers, and seeing how the artists and photographers interpret the buildings from an artistic perspective, highlighting the buildings soul, so to speak, is definitely one of the high points of the event.” The competition is open to the public and pre-registration is encouraged.
Cost to enter is $10 for Nanaimo Arts Council members and $12 for non-members. Artists gather at the Nanaimo Museum prior to 10 a.m. and draw their location from a list of heritage buildings. They then spend the day capturing the essence of their location, returning to the museum prior to 3 p.m. with presentation ready pieces for judging. Prize money is $125 for first place, $75 for second, and $50 for third place in two categories – painting and photography. Winners will also be drawn from the list of entrants for prizes including tickets from the Port Theatre and Crimson Coast Dance Society. Entry forms can be downloaded at www.nanaimoartscouncil.ca and pre-registration can be done at the Nanaimo Arts Council Gallery at Nanaimo North Town Centre. For more information, please call 250-729-3947 or e-mail admin@nanaimoartscouncil.ca. To view the resulting artwork, please visit Nanaimo Museum in October or the Nanaimo Arts Council Gallery in November for a display. Call For A

Vancouver Island University business program goes international
I
VIU PARTNERS with U.K.’s Hertfordshire on dual degree.
Ninety students from across the globe have begun a dual degree masters in business administration program at Vancouver Island University. The degrees are awarded through a partnership between Vancouver Island University’s masters in business administra-
tion program and the University of Hertfordshire’s masters of science in international business in England. The students are eager to begin their new lives and the program, including Vijay Bollini from India, who has launched a “green” lithium battery manufacturing business in his home country with his brother. He plans to return upon completion of the program. “It will be a great opportunity to learn some skills in business,”
Bollini said. “This will be a great opportunity to help us as we grow our company.” Students of the university’s masters in business administration program not only hail from India but also Spain, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, China, Mexico, Russia, the Philippines and Rwanda. The students began classes on Sept. 3 and are scheduled to graduate in January of 2015. Also beginning classes at the university are 300 international
students, who are taking English as a second language and academic courses or are taking part in the study abroad program. The university said that for the first time, nine German students will be partaking in the study abroad program for a semester, including Sonya Schlomach, who is studying supply chain management and human resources at the University of Hamburg. “I chose this program because I wanted to do one semester
abroad, improve my English and gain some experience,” she said. “The international connections for masters of business administration students at Vancouver Island University and in the study abroad program are invaluable,” said Brock Dykeman, MBA program director. “Not only do our students find themselves part of a global community represented here on campus, they also network and learn from many different perspectives.”

Business donates to Hospice House Nanaimo Community Hospice recently accepted a donation for $500 from the Nanaimo Business Exchange. The gift will go towards the completion of the new Hospice House. “Hospice provides a hugely valuable service to the community and we are there with supportive programs when people need them the most,” said Wendy Pratt, hospice’s executive director. “Without the generosity of the community and groups like the Nanaimo Business Exchange we would not be where we are today.” The organization’s Expand the Heart of Hospice fundraising campaign has almost reached its goal and is now within $200,000 of becoming mortgage free. Donations can be made directly at Hospice House at St. George Crescent, by phone at 250-591-8811 or online by visiting www.nanaimohospice.com.

VIU athletics hits links with fans Local college sports fans can really make a difference in helping the VIU Mariners win this year, and beyond. Vancouver Island University’s athletics department is holding a fundraiser golf tournament Tuesday (Sept. 17) at the Nanaimo Golf Club. All proceeds from the event go to athletic programs at VIU. Mariners players will caddy for the participants. “Support is important as it gives both the students and
VIU the much-needed financial resources to draw quality students to the university and into our community,” said Rob Grey, board member with the VIU Foundation. The 18-hole scramble tourney starts with a 1:30 p.m. shotgun start and will be followed by dinner at the clubhouse. Cost to play is $200. For information about playing in the tourney or becoming a hole sponsor, call 250-713-3322 or visit www.gomariners.ca.

Westwood run will be rocking
I
RUN/WALK around lake raises money for Mount Benson. BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN
The Run for the Mountain is turning up the volume this year. The annual six-kilometre run/walk around Westwood Lake is scheduled for Saturday (Sept. 14) at 9 a.m. “Our registration last year was a record number and we’re keeping on pace with last year, if not a little ahead,” said Mike Thibodeau, race director. Something new at the event this year is a soundtrack, as Thibodeau has booked what is being billed as a Band on the Barge. Rock group Potential Trainwreck will be performing on a floating stage on race day. The band’s high-energy sound might help inspire some of Nanaimo’s fastest runners to even quicker loops around the lake on Saturday. “I know there’s quite a few people in town that are pretty in shape right now and aiming to run some pretty fast times…” Thibodeau said.

Gordon Herd nears the finish line at last year’s Run for the Mountain 6K at Westwood Lake Park.
“It will be interesting to see who comes out of the trees first.” Nanaimo’s Erin Burrett will be back, trying for her fifth straight crown as Queen of Westwood, but there will be a new King of Westwood this year as last year’s record-setting champ, Jeremiah John-
son, isn’t able to make it to the Island this time around. Thibodeau said he’s seeing lots of parents and their kids signing up together, and he knows of running clinics that have been timed to target the Run for the Mountain. “The speed is coming back, it looks like family fun is happening and people new to events are signing up, so it’s exactly what we want the event to be,” he said. Some runners have been collecting pledges, as the race is a fundraiser for Nanaimo and Area Land Trust’s Mount Benson Wilderness Park. “Like always, we’re trying to save our scenic backdrop of Nanaimo,” said Thibodeau. Online registration is now closed, but it isn’t too late to get to the start line. There will be race-day registration from 7:30-8:30 a.m., though organizers would prefer that runners and walkers register at Frontrunners Nanaimo on Turner Road today (Sept. 12) or Friday. Race package pickup is Friday from noon-8 p.m. at Frontrunners. For more information about the event including tips on running a fast time around the lake, please visit www. runforthemountain.ca. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Beefs & bouquets BOUQUET Nanaimo is a wonderful city and I’m very fortunate to live here. BEEF To people who take their pets into grocery stores. It is a health code violation. If it is too hot to leave your dog, cat, etc., in the vehicle, then leave them at home – they’d probably be happier. BOUQUET To McDonald’s on Mary Ellen Way. What a bunch of friendly, courteous employees. Always so pleasant. It’s a pleasure to eat there.
dragging a small white dog behind him along Bowen Road this past week across from Bowen Park. I hope someone ties you to a vehicle and drags you along so you will know how cruel this is. A dog this small does not need this kind of exercise.
BOUQUET To Raj and the staff at Christensen Collision. Thank you for repairing the key marks on my truck while I was on holiday. Raj was very friendly, professional and made me not want to go anywhere else.
BEEF To the golf course for allowing their course to deteriorate. Where are the maintenance staff? We enjoyed the facility over the years, but since our recent wellmeaning comments appeared to fall on deaf ears, sadly we won’t be returning.
BEEF To Nanaimo school district. I am shocked there are only four hours and 42 minutes of teaching time each day and less on Friday when they get out early. Let’s put students first and stop taking so much time away from them, like a proposed extra week at spring break and more Pro-D days.
BOUQUET To Fibber Magee’s for their kindness in offering coffee, before opening time at 11:30 a.m., to two seniors who were having a difficult morning.
BOUQUET To the lady, who wanted to remain anonymous, who donated $500 to the Community Lunch program at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church.
BEEF To the person at the grocery store who stole my dad’s favorite blue walking cane. His back was only turned maybe a minute. Stealing is one thing but stealing a crippled man’s cane, you should be ashamed of yourself.
BEEF To Nanaimo drivers. Before getting in your vehicle please think of all your loved ones before you hit the road. Drive safely – slow down, stay off cellphones and pay attention.
BOUQUET To Wine Works for the lovely customer appreciation salmon barbecue last weekend. The food was great. You just do everything so well. BEEF To the person upset about losing his sushi to a deer crossing the road. The deer were here first. Maybe you should slow down. BOUQUET To the wonderful person who turned in my bag to the Chase River Country Grocer on Monday evening. I’d accidentally left it in the shopping cart. It was a huge relief to rush back there and find it was fully intact at the customer service desk. BEEF To the young man riding on a bike
BOUQUET To the wonderful owner of Gabriel’s Cafe on Commercial Street. Never mind you have great food and service, but you went above and beyond by calling my gym and getting my car, house, and work keys back to me. You rock.
BEEF To the people that badly damaged the giant fungi covering the tree stump in Linley Valley – this was one of Nanaimo’s secret natural wonders until you threw rocks at it. BOUQUET To the magnificent men of Andrea Crescent. You step up time and again with willing hearts and strong bodies to help with our projects. Good news: no new projects in sight. BEEF To the restaurant that gives out gift certificates for a contest which we won. You were very rude whem you told us we weren’t allowed to use them anymore. BOUQUET To the lovely young woman in the Ford Explorer who bought my latte at the Terminal Park Starbucks drive-thru. You made my day and I will definitely pay it forward. BEEF To the network that changed its name. It confuses the viewers and the TV schedule publications take some time to catch up.
Damien - 20 Years
$249
Ray - 16 Years
BEEF To provincial employees who refuse to full identify themselves and are too useless to answer or return a call or letter. BOUQUET To Dean and Darren for the great job of repairing the potholes in our alley. BOUQUET To the person who found my son’s wallet at the Harbourfront Library and turned it in to the front desk. It’s so good to know there are still lots of honest people out there. BOUQUET To travel agent Lynn Alexander. This lovely lady gave us first-class service to book our first cruise ever to the Mediterranean. Lynn worked hard to make sure we had the holiday of a lifetime. BOUQUET To the Nanaimo Blues Society and all volunteers for the wonderful Summertime Blues Festival. BOUQUET To all the donors and participants who helped make Give the Gift of Life kidney walk and paddle such a great success. BOUQUET To Speedy Auto Glass for their great customer service. BOUQUET To the three or four drivers in Cedar who actually stop at stop signs.
________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________
BOUQUET To the two kind and very strong men who pushed my Toyota off the Island Highway and onto Aulds Road so I could park safely at the mall. I would have been stranded without you. A mechanic found a large mouse nest in the engine.

BOUQUET To the people who helped me after a running injury: the biker, the woman in a wheelchair and the electric bike rider. You were all so helpful and went out of your way to help me.
BEEF To a radio commercial for warning us that police in our area will be ticketing people using cellphones while driving. Police should ticket themselves – I have seen numerous cops driving with cellphones plastered to their heads.

BY NEIL MOORE arked next to anything, other than perhaps an aircraft carrier, the Sequoia looks immense. Indeed, this three-ton, eight-passenger SUV dwarfs all else in the Toyota lineup, matched only by a few other full-size sport utilities. I’m seldom thrilled by the prospect of driving something so large around town, but after a week perched in its big-rig driving position, tapping the 5.7-litre V8’s vast reserves of power and benefiting from its relatively nimble handling, light steering and surprisingly tight turning circle, I was hesitant to return the keys. The Toyota Sequoia, as you’d expect with vehicles in this segment, is not the company’s top seller; it moved 744 last year in Canada. But that’s more a sign of the eco-friendly times, and outrageous fuel prices. You do pay a premium for any full-size sport utility, but like many of the others, the Sequoia is a rugged vehicle that provides no shortage of creature comforts, along with plenty of muscle should you want to tow a boat or large camping trailer. Let’s start with the amenities, which even in the base Sequoia SR5 comprise a lengthy list. This includes three-zone climate control, leather seating – heated in front with 10-way power and memory for the driver, four-way power for the
P
passenger, tilt/telescopic steering with audio and Bluetooth phone controls, power rear window, moonroof, front and rear parking sensors, heated exterior mirrors, conversation mirror and an eight-speaker audio system. You also get a backup camera. My only gripe here is the tiny display, integrated in the rearview mirror. It is quite useless for those of us needing reading glasses.
PHOTO SUBMITTED
Even the base Sequoia gets leather seating with heating up front and 10-way power adjust.
Second-row seats are a reclinable 40/20/40 split, and third-row are a 60/40 split-fold bench. Helping you get in are a pair of standard running boards. My tester, the Limited, adds even more goodies such as a 14-speaker audio system, power adjustable steering wheel, driver’s seat memory, rear door
sunshades, 20-inch alloys, blind spot monitoring system, power rear door, and side mirrors that do everything but make toast. This includes memory, reverse tilt, integrated puddle lamps and turn signals. Platinum is the top Sequoia trim level, and you really do get some premium content. This starts with rear entertainment system with nine-inch monitor, navigation with seven-inch display for maps and your backup camera, upgraded perforated leather seating, heated and ventilated front row seats, heated second row captain’s chairs, radar cruise control and more. My first impression, as mentioned above, was of sitting so high that parking the Sequoia felt like landing a plane. It’s a feeling you quickly get used to, and in traffic, greatly appreciate as you’re able to see over the long line of minivans and crossovers that would otherwise block your sightline. Power too was a pleasant surprise. A prod of the pedal results in a hearty roar from the 5.7-litre V8 with dual variable valve timing, along with the kind of launch you’d expect from a much lighter vehicle. This comes courtesy of the i-Force engine’s 381 horsepower, which is not only enough for rapid offthe-line acceleration and passing power, but for 3,150 kilograms of towing capacity.

Chrysler’s minivan turns 30 It’s one thing to create an entirely new segment. To be a leader in that segment for 30 years running is quite another accomplishment. Having sold more than 13 million minivans since first introducing the segment in 1983, and creating 78 minivan segment firsts, such as stow-and-go seating, the Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country are celebrating their heritage with 30th anniversary editions available this fall.

The Chrysler minivan has been in continuous production since the first model (shown) debuted in 1983. To mark the event, Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country will feature special 30th anniversary editions.
Nov. 2, 1983, sparking a new segment of people movers that rose in popularity quickly, transporting millions of moms, dads and kids, and
becoming part of their families. The Dodge Grand Caravan was the top selling minivan in the world last year and continues to be
the best-selling minivan in Canada. The Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country are still built at the Windsor plant.
