Teachers vote on tentative contract deal

UNION RECOMMENDS members approve agreement which could see students in class next week. BY KARL YU THE NEWS BULLETIN

Council considers another study on Colliery dams BY TAMARA CUNNINGHAM THE NEWS BULLETIN
Efforts to look at remediation proposals for the Colliery dams have been put on hold, as Nanaimo city council considers a new study. Councillors are exploring the cost for an extensive hydraulic study, which would review consultants’ findings for the Colliery dams. The move is a shift from an earlier decision to pursue requests for proposals for remediation of the dams and comes on the heels of requests from residents and the Colliery Dam
Park Preservation Society for more information on flood risk and potential for cost savings. Jeff Solomon, spokesman for the preservation society, said the group feels there are information gaps to define what’s required for the dams, and he’s pleased council is considering the study. Deciding on any other options without this step would have been premature, costly and alienated the community in terms of due process, he said. City staff presented council with options on how to move forward during an open meeting Monday in

response to a notice of motion by Coun. Jim Kipp for a hydraulic study. The proposals included staying the course with the request for qualification and proposal process; designing and tendering an $8.1-million spillway remediation option; or commissioning a study to test how the erosion would happen in a heavy rainfall. Politicians opted 8-1 to look into doing the $150,000 to $250,000 hydraulic research, as well as explore issues like the hydrology of the design flood and the effects of flooding in both the middle and lower dams.

Elementary and secondary school students in Nanaimo and across the province could be back in class next week. A tentative deal between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the province was reached early Tuesday. The deal will require ratification by teachers and according to Mike Ball, Nanaimo District Teachers’ Association president, the vote will take place today (Sept. 18) with results available tonight around 9 p.m. The deal, which the union is recommending its members approve, would run until 2019, retroactive to July 2013. An e-mail from the union to its membership said the deal includes a salary increase of 7.25 per cent over the sixyear length of the contract. A $105-million fund will help address grievances related to class size and composition. Class size and composition language was removed from teachers’ contracts in 2002, which the union fought in court. The B.C. government is appealing two previous court decisions that sided with teachers in a case set to begin Oct. 14. “The government is going to carry on ... so if the agreement is ratified, it means that when the court case is done, that the two sides will re-open negotiations on the stripped provisions, which is basically class size and composition and the related articles, and they will start from whatever the court case says is the appropriate position, which should be the 2002 language,” said Ball.

Patricia Plumley, choral conductor, foreground, leads 193 children who registered for a singing day camp with the Port Theatre Monday. After a couple hours of rehearsal the children were taken to Diana Krall Plaza, city hall and the waterfront to perform random acts of singing. The camp was created as one way to keep children busy during the teachers’ strike.
Flood signs shuffled in Harewood
The City of Nanaimo will shuffle evacuation signs in Harewood this week to sync up with a reduced flood hazard zone. Nanaimo city workers will re-post and eliminate evacuation signage that shows people how to leave the flood zone downstream of the Colliery dams and head to higher ground. The city installed 70 signs last year as an interim mitigation measure after the B.C. Dam Safety Branch classified the dams as being a public safety risk in extreme weather or a major earthquake. Golder Associates has since found the structures are in better condition than originally thought and will stand up longer in a flood. The hazard area has reduced by 70 per
cent of its previous size, but with a spillway capacity problem, there’s still a hazard according to Toby Seward, the city’s acting general manager of community planning and protective services. “There’s a lot of discussion in the community about the importance of these signs and should we have them or not and by all means, from our evaluation by our consultants, engineers have said yes there’s still a hazard there, so we have to make sure we accurately reflect that hazard,” he said. As part of a sign reorganization, the city will move 15 signs to reflect the new hazard zone and reduce its total postings to 55. All the signs will be removed once the city acts on a long-term solution for the dams. news@nanaimobulletin.com
Less rental housing is available compared to last year and costs to rent a house, apartment or room are up, too. A drop in Nanaimo’s overall vacancy rate, from 8.3 per cent in spring 2013 to 5.3 per cent as of April this year, helped push prices up. From spring 2013 to spring 2014 costs to rent a one- or two-bedroom space has gone up about two per cent. Amrit Manhas, economic development officer with Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation, characterized the increase as moderate and well within the annual rent increase of 2.2 per cent set by the B.C. government’s Rental Tenancy Branch. Nanaimo’s average cost for rental housing, including bachelor, one-, two- and three-plus bedroom dwellings now stands at $740 per month, up from $723, but that’s just an overall average, she said. Rental housing prices range from $574 for a bachelor suite to $1,011 for a home or apartment with three or more bedrooms, according to the most recent Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation statistics. Vancouver has the highest rents of all major centres in B.C. at $1,090 per month. Port Alberni boasts the cheapest rents at $617. Manhas said pressure on the rental market has come from slightly improved employment for people 15-24, which allowed young people to move out on their own, and from people immigrating from overseas or attending Vancouver Island University. Ian Johnsrude, manager of student housing, said the university does face housing supply pressures and is looking at expanding its student housing. VIU current has 386 single-bed rental units for students. After their first year, students are encouraged to find housing in the community. “First year students need a safe place to go to, but then they need to go out into the community and find housing rather than keeping 300 of our 386 beds for second-, third-, and fourthyear students who are more than equipped to go out into the rental market.” photos@nanaimobulletin.com
Police search for suspect after second indecent exposure Nanaimo Mounties are investigating the second indecent exposure incident in less than a week at Westwood Lake Park. This latest case happened Saturday shortly before 4 p.m. when a 22-year-old woman called police after a man exposed his genitals to her as she walked along
the Westwood Lake Trail on the east side of the boat launch. The man then ran off into nearby bushes. Police responded, found several witnesses and obtained a detailed description of the suspect who is Caucasian, about 5-foot-8 with brown hair and a slim build. He was
wearing a white T-shirt and black pants. The most recent prior incident was Thursday when a man exposed himself to a woman running the same trail near the bluffs. “Patrols have been increased in the area of the lake and will continue for the foresee-

School board hangs on to surplus By Karl yu The News BulleTiN
With the uncertainty caused by the B.C. teachers’ strike, the Nanaimo school district board is being advised not to spend an unrestricted surplus of approximately $4.1 million. According to audited financial statements for 2013-14, which the school board approved Wednesday, a restricted surplus of about $3.7 million was reported, along with the unrestricted amount, for a total surplus of $7.8 million. Phil Turin, school district secretary-treasurer, said it would be best to put it in reserve. “The forecast that I provided to the board back in the late spring showed that we would be short next year (2015-16) $3.5 million and until we actually see the enrolment and go through all of that again, that remains to be seen on where we’re going to be, higher or lower,” said Turin.

He pointed to the recent contract settlement with Canadian Union of Public Employees, which represents support workers, stating there would be costs involved which the provincial government would be unlikely to pay for. Turin also expressed concern about the situation that will occur now that the teachers’ dispute is resolved. “The ministry could come calling, so my advice to trustees at this time is, yes, those are the results of your financial position as of June 30, 2014 [but] we have labour strife in the district and we also know that the 201516 budget is going to be short, based on our latest analysis. The school district saw some savings due to the strike, as it didn’t have to pay teacher salaries, but Turin said about $3.5 million had to be returned to the ministry while the school district kept roughly $800,000. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Unit targets domestic violence
I
HavEN SociEty works with RCMP to reduce cases. By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN
Police respond to about 1,000 domestic violence calls per year in Nanaimo. About 30 per cent of all domestic violence cases result in charges recommended to Crown. That’s good news to RCMP Supt. Mark Fisher, head of Nanaimo RCMP detachment, and Anne Taylor, Haven Society executive director. “It’s not good that there’s that many of them, but it’s good that the investigations get to that stage,” Fisher said. Nanaimo RCMP and Haven Society are working together to bring more cases to trial and protect domestic violence victims from serious injury or death and will announce ongoing developments for a domestic violence unit dur-
opment in 2012, which has pushed ahead plans to launch the unit, but Taylor said the concept has been in discussion and development locally since about 2000. “The RCMP is going to be doing offender management and follow-up with restraining orders and conditions through the court and then Community Victim Services will be focused on supporting the victim and ensuring overall safety of the family,” Taylor said. The unit will also minimize service gaps and redundancies and allow agencies to follow families until they are past the highest-risk stages. “And provide better support for families to get back on their feet again – and sometimes that is what happens,” Fisher said. “People make choices and if they seek the appropriate support to get through a tough time in their lives then they’re able to get back on their feet again and do very well.” photos@nanaimobulletin.com
Passersby pull woman from burning vehicle Firefighters are crediting passersby with rescuing a woman from a burning car after it crashed on the Nanaimo Parkway Monday. The accident happened shortly after 5 p.m. when the woman lost control of the southbound vehicle, sending it into a five-metre-deep ditch about two kilometres south
of Fifth Street. Firefighters doused a brush fire started by the burning car before putting out the vehicle. Timothy Doyle, Nanaimo Fire Rescue assistant chief, who attended the scene, said it is unknown whether the car was on fire before it crashed. The woman, possibly in her 40s, was the sole occupant
and was pulled out of the car by four, unidentified Good Samaritans before fire crews arrived. Southbound traffic was halted for several minutes while emergency crews dealt with the scene. The woman was rushed to Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. Her condition is not known.

The unit, expected to launch in early 2015, will have an RCMP member and Haven staff working directly together. “It’s an accepted best practice in other communities,” Fisher said. “If you really want to have an impact on supporting victims and do it in the way that, evidence shows, works best and provides the greatest support to them to see themselves through this process.” The government formed the Provincial Office of Domestic Violence under the Ministry of Children and Family Devel-

Review could take four months Pickets remain up until teachers approve deal From /1
Toby Seward, the city’s acting general manager of community planning and protective services, said the study combined with the other, additional reviews could take upwards of four months and would determine if information provided by Golder Associates is accurate or overly conservative and whether a different solution could be put in place. “The question is, will those additional studies – the ones we are talking about now – will they lead
to a different recommendation or remediation?” he asked. “You just don’t know that until you do it, but it’s time and money.” The next council would decide how the Colliery dams are remediated if the city pursues the study and Nanaimo still faces requirements from the B.C. Dam Safety Branch to complete work next year, according to Seward. City staff will look at costs for the additional items as part of the hydraulic research next week.
From /1
Ball said pickets would remain until a new deal is approved. The Nanaimo school district confirmed schools would open early next week but as voting results were not available, specifics couldn’t be provided. Dot Neary, school board chairwoman, expressed cautious optimism.
“I think the plan is to take a day to allow teachers to get themselves organized, the classrooms organized and get as much in place as possible ... As far as I’m aware, our start-up procedure will be the same but I guess that plan might ebb and flow slightly depending on how things roll out” Neary said. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Chowder recipes are being cooked up by Nanaimo chefs Saturday (Sept. 20) as they work to catch the top title in this year’s inaugural Seafood Chowder Competition. More than a dozen competitors will dish out tastes of their best seafood chowders at Country Club Centre in the bid to take home this year’s chowder leader crown. The contest, hosted by Lucky’s Liquor Store and Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce, is all about bringing awareness and support to local restaurants, according to Lucky’s project coordinator Jodie Robertshaw, who says a similar contest used to be held by the Nanaimo Museum. “We’re a harbour city, we’re right on the water and we don’t have any of these seafood events,” said Robertshaw. “We’re hoping this is kind of the flagship for a bigger

seafood event, not just a chowder competition.” There will be a panel of six judges critiquing recipes for flavour and local ingredients, as well as a people’s choice award. There are no rules per se, as long as it’s chowder Robertshaw said, adding chefs should just come with a couple of large pots of the best they can make. Tia Hill, manager of
Seadrift Fishmarket, is counting on access to the freshest fish in town to give it an edge over the competition. It will be cooking its shrimp curry and seafood chowders. “In my opinion, we don’t stand having any problems with our competition,” she said. And she’s not the only one feeling confident. Mike Campbell, co-owner
of Longwood Brew Pub, says he and his chef plan to serve Longwood’s Irish Ale Seafood Chowder, which has been getting rave reviews since it was first introduced to the menu about a year ago. “We use our Irish ale beer on tap to make it. It’s got mussels, cod, wild salmon, a bunch of seafoods in it and it’s just delicious,” he said. “We get feedback constantly that it’s like the best so yeah, that’s giving us a lot of confidence.” The competition will feature live entertainment, face painting and a bouncy castle. Twelve chowder samples will cost $12 and can be purchased at Lucky’s or the Chamber of Commerce on Bowen Road. Tickets, including individual samplers, can also be purchased at the event between 11 a.m and 3 p.m. news@nanaimobulletin.com

EDITORIAL
Back to school arrives at last
Hopefully parents hung on to those handy back-to-school flyers that were stuffed inside issues of the News Bulletin last month. The teachers’ strike appears headed for a settlement, awaiting a vote from the B.C. Teachers’ Federation today (Sept. 18). Parents and other taxpayers should be disappointed that it took three weeks into September before the two sides learned to use their words, stop hitting, share and play nice. If they could come to an agreement on Tuesday, they should have been able to come to an agreement three weeks earlier. But better now than never. We know that some educators experienced financial hardship, and that some parents faced day-care challenges. This fight was about the kids, though, we were told, and we think the kids will be all right. Students have enough weeks left in the fall semester to get caught up on the curriculum, and they have more than enough time for proper exam preparation. They’ve missed out on some extra-curricular participation, but they’re still going to get that football season, band trip and Halloween dance. They still have almost a whole school year ahead to make friends, build character, have fun and be kids. For some students, the teachers’ strike was a learning experience. A few of them considered the issues and a few stopped by the picket lines. Mostly, they left it to the adults who have been entrusted with children’s education all along. We hope and we think that some good has come out of the strike. Certainly six years of labour peace is an attractive idea. Neither side gave in on class size and composition, not really, but if those are such clear priorities for teachers, then they’re right to continue to voice their wishes. A strike was a failure by both sides. Sometimes it’s OK to agree to disagree, but not when it causes collateral damage. Maybe three weeks is minimal damage. Maybe this school year can still be one of the best ever.

on the fact that the government didn’t appeal Griffin’s first ruling. For instance, there have actually been two negotiated deals since 2002. The one in 2006 provided five years of raises and a bonus to get the government past the 2010 Olympics, and in 2012 there was a pre-election truce negotiated with the help of mediator Charles Jago. The government argues that reimposing 2002 conditions would overturn other contracts that were agreed to by the BCTF. BCTF’s lawyers say, in effect, the deleted terms covering working conditions weren’t there to negotiate. It’s been obvious for many years that the BCTF doesn’t function like a normal union, and isn’t much interested in starting to do so. Its leadership sees itself as an agent of “social justice,” a belief demonstrated by its promotion of flawed poverty statistics and pronouncements on everything from U.S. labour law to conflict in the Middle East. Its decades-old instruction to government is blunt: raise taxes and give us the money. u Tom Fletcher is a columnist and legislative reporter for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Re: Lantzville signs water agreement, Sept. 11. At last Monday’s council meeting, two neighbours spoke passionately about what access to community water would mean for their families. Both are currently on private wells. One spoke about boron contamination of its well, making the water unfit for drinking or bathing. Obviously Lantzville needs to make sure that people with contaminated water are looked after. The other spoke of the mindset that develops when one depends on well water. Short show-

access to safe, secure water means a lot to Lantzville families, says letter writer.
ers, flushing toilets less frequently, watering outside plants with bath water, letting the grass go yellow – all measures to ensure that water lasts through the summer dry spell. This is the mindset that I would
like to see encouraged in all citizens. While I applaud the water deal as a way to help those with contaminated water or with wells that run dry, and to allow some development in the village core, I am concerned that with
this deal will come the perception of water as a resouce in abundance. With abundance comes lack of stewardship and waste. Along with this water deal, I would encourage Lantzville to develop programs to educate residents about how to conserve water, re-use grey water, and collect water. I would encourage tax incentives and legislation to support that education. And no, I do not believe that these ideas are ahead of their time as some Lantzville councillors have suggested.

To the Editor,
Re: All taxpayers have stake in schools, Letters, Sept. 11. For your information, my daughter asked to be on the picket line because she knows that her small, but important voice can make a difference. More importantly, by fixating on a child with a sign, you have missed all the important issues behind this strike. Finally, I find it strange that you would like my child to be home playing with her toys rather than being in a classroom learning like she should be. This strike is a great teachable moment and I’m very proud of how much she’s learned by being involved.

Re: Councillors support $12-million Port Theatre expansion, Sept. 11. Since the Port Theatre is on its way to getting a smaller performance stage, we obviously do not need 25 Victoria Rd. The city of Nanaimo should sell the old Centre Stage building as we do not need two cityfunded stages within a few blocks of each other consuming much government money.

Re: Councillors support $12-million Port Theatre expansion, Sept. 11. Hands must be getting sore from all the clapping at council chambers.

To the Editor,
to get what you want. Few councillors care to question those asking for money. The Port Theatre Society said it surveyed 800 souls to see if people wanted the multimillion-dollar expansion. The result, it says, was overwhelmingly in favour. But when the society only polled those in the theatre society’s own database and cultural plan participants – supporters – why wouldn’t you get the desired result? So remember, my fellow taxpayers, who are having a tough time making ends meet, the next time you need money, simply poll your own family and friends. Appear before council and tell them everyone you contacted said to buck up. Better yet, this November vote out those who are spending our money like there’s no tomorrow, so the rest of us will have a few dollars left in our pockets.

Re: Councillors support $12-million Port Theatre expansion, Sept. 11. Almost all of council needs to be tarred and feathered and dumped immediately from the elected office they are not honorable of holding. Last week a late item was added to the agenda: Port Theatre community consultation. The item was only marked to be received, providing officials with an update on the consultation process. Nothing was noted about millions of our tax money to be given out that evening nor had any councillor given advance notice of such a move, which is now the norm. However, out of the blue, with the council auditorium packed with arts supporters, Coun. Fred Pattje made a motion for the city to co-sign a $2-million line of credit for the theatre society and to give it $4.6 million of city tax money if the group raises other

ARCHITECTURE DOCUMENTARY will be screening on saturday at Vancouver island university.
By Nicholas Pescod The News BulleTiN
A Vancouver-based independent documentary that showcases West Coast modernist architecture will be screening in the Harbour City this coming weekend. The film, titled Coast Modern, will be playing at Vancouver Island University’s Malaspina Theatre on Saturday (Sept. 20). Coast Modern was created by directors Mike Bernard and Gavin Froome and focuses on the pioneers of West Coast Modernist Architecture and designs that ultimately became some of their best works. “It is a beautifully shot documentary,” said event organizer Stephanie Watkins, “We are really excited that they [Mike Bernard and Gavin Froome] are coming over to Nanaimo.” The documentary premiered a year ago on the Knowledge Network and has since been screening at locations throughout North America. Coast Modern feat u re s i n t e r v i e w s with a number of respected artists, designers and architects including Douglas Coupland. “He [Coupland] is really supportive of this type of architecture,” Watkins said. Watkins, who is an interior designer herself and the former producer and host of the television show Island Homes, said Nanaimo has some excellent examples of West Coast modern style houses. “The Beach Estates and Departure Bay areas have many houses in this style,” she said. “So I think the film is relevant to our community.” Watkins explained that anyone who is into design will appreciate the film. “They are going to love it,” she said. “They are going to get some history on
residential modern architecture on the West Coast.” Even those who aren’t architectural enthusiasts will enjoy the documentary, she said. “It celebrates, not just the architecture, but it celebrates nature on the West Coast, Watkins said. Coast Modern screens at 2 p.m. Tickets are $5 each. There will a question period with Bernard at the end of the event.

When country singer Stacey McKitrick decided to reach out to guitarist Jesse Wainwright a halfdozen years ago, she couldn’t have imagined where it would take her. “He was a wellknown writer who was co-writing with lots of people,” McKitrick told the News Bulletin. At the time, Wainwright was the guitarist for alternative-rock band State of Shock, and McKitrick soon discovered that they had great musical chemistry together.
“We just got along really well and we wrote really well together,” McKitrick said. In fact, the chemistry was so good that McKitrick eventually asked Wainwright if he would be her guitarist for her solo performances. “It just worked out really well. The fans really really loved him,” McKitrick explained. “They thought what we were kind of doing was really neat.” Last November, the unlikely duo decided to officially form a country band known as Austin Belle. “ We t h o u g h t i t might be smart if we did something about it and made a band together,” McKitrick said. On Saturday (Sept.
20) Austin Belle will be making their first appearance in the Harbour City when they perform at the Nanaimo Harvest Festival. “It’s our first time over, not actually visiting, but playing, so it is going to be exciting,” Wainwright said. “We are going to bring the full band have a good time.” Earlier this week the country duo released their first record, a five-track EP titled Just Drive, to Cordova Bay Records. “ We a re re a l l y excited about it. There is a mix of a lot of different sounds and inspirations behind it,” McKitrick said about Just Drive. “We’ve got kind of a pop-rock sound through most of it, but we’ve even got a tune

that is a drinking song that I feel like it has a bit of a reggae sound to it.” While McKitrick and Wainwright come from two completely d i f f e re n t m u s i c a l backgrounds, it hasn’t prevented them from finding success. “We both like a wide variety of music and being songwriters it’s about writing music and sharing our stories,” Wainwright said. Earlier this summer, the duo released a music video for their single, Just Drive. The video features the duo driving around southern Abbotsford in a 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air. “It was a lot of fun,” Wainwright said. “We borrowed my uncle’s ’56 Chevy and got to rip around in it all day.” “Jesse is a great driver, but I think everyone felt nervous when I was driving the car,” McKitrick said laughing. Earlier this month, Austin Belle were nominated on the second ballot for over five BCCMAs, including Group/Duo of the Year. Their music video for Just Drive was also nominated for Video of the Year. “We’ve done things on our own but we’ve just sort of started this thing together not that long ago and to get that kind of recognition and support from our home is really great,” Wainwright said. Austin Belle performs at the Nanaimo Harvest Festival on Wesley Street in the Old City Quarter on Sept. 20. They will play on the mainstage at 1:20 p.m. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Celebrity impersonator channels different divas The News BulleTiN
Bonnie Kilroe’s decision to become a celebrity impersonator was based out of necessity. “I was in the film industry and not making enough money and I had this as a weird talent,” Kilroe said. “I combined all the things I loved to.” On Saturday (Sept.
20) Kilroe will be impersonating everyone from Dolly Parton to Mae West and Lady Gaga in her performance, Diva: Vegas meets Vaudeville at the Royal Canadian Legion branch at 1630 East Wellington Rd. “It’s a musical comedy, celebrity impersonation show with a ton of audience participation,” Kilroe said about the
two-hour show. “It moves at a really fast pace and some of the impersonations are very authentic and others are a parody.” Kilroe’s impersonations have taken her all over, including China and Mexico. The show begins at 6 p.m. and tickets are $32.50. For more information, please visit www.celebrityimposters.com. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Untreated hearing loss tied to lower earning potential Maximizing one’s ability to hear well should be part of any smart career strategy. Individual performance in an organization is found to be directly related to listening ability or perceived listening effectiveness. In fact, listening is one of the top skills employers seek in entry-level employees and in those being promoted. People who both hear and listen well are also more likely to establish positive working relationships with bosses, clients, and colleagues. An alarming new study by the Better Hearing Institute (BHI) reveals a direct correlation between unaddressed hearing loss and earnings. The national survey, entitled “The efficacy of hearing aids in achieving compensation equity in the workplace,”
clearly demonstrates that hearing loss has a significant impact on people’s ability to earn a livelihood. The study underscores how critically important it is for workers to treat hearing loss early in order to maximize their job performance and earning potential. According to Sergei Kochkin, PhD, author of the study: “The real tragedy in delaying hearing loss treatment is that when left unaddressed, hearing loss negatively affects individuals and their families for
Key Study Findings ■

The links between hearing loss and Dementia Seniors who have untreated hearing loss may be at an increased risk for developing dementia, a loss of brain function that can affect memory, thinking, language, judgment and behavior. This is the finding of a study conducted by researchers from the Division of Otology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. The study included 639 people whose hearing and cognitive abilities were tested over a period of time, starting in 1990 and concluding in 2008. Researchers found that study participants who had hearing loss at the beginning of the study were significantly more likely to develop dementia by the end of the study. How might hearing loss and dementia be connected? Investigators aren’t sure, but they think a common pathology may underlie both conditions, or possibly the strain of decoding sounds over the years may overwhelm the brains of people with hearing loss, leaving them more vulnerable to dementia. The article concludes that, whatever the cause, these findings may offer a starting point for further research as to whether interventions, even as simple as hearing aids, could delay or prevent dementia by improving patients’ hearing. ©2014 Miracle-Ear, Inc.
the rest of their lives in the form of lost wages, lost promotions, lost opportunities, lost retirement income, and unrealized dreams. But when people with even mild hearing loss use hearing aids, they improve their job performance, increase their earning potential, enhance their communication skills, improve their professional land interpersonal relationships, stave off depression, and improve their quality of life.”

terms of drivability is a better jump off the line and improved highway cruising. Because the new transmission reduces weight and friction, the fuel economy has improved by 16 per cent, which is an amazing accomplishment in such a small car. Rated at 7.0L/100km in the city and 5.7L on the highway, using the much tougher 2015 fuel standards, this represents fuel number buyers will actually be able to achieve. In addition, the suspension has been improved for more responsiveness but I found the ride a bit choppy over bumpy roads. Verdict There is so much to talk about with the Honda Fit from space to design and new engineering; it is easy to overlook the creature comforts that have been added. There is now a height adjustable drivers seats, a standard 5-inch LCD screen with backup camera and Bluetooth all on

There is also the $19,195 EX trim with alloy wheels, paddle shifter and moon roof, but the big news is the inclusion of the $21,295 EX-L Navi trim. This is the EX trim with leather and navigation, making the fit downright opulent. This isn’t the least expensive car in this class but on the whole it offers so much more than just a price point.

On the plus side, the drop top doesn’t take away any precious space when open. Not to mention, the 500C, with its 1.4L engine and humble 101 horsepower and 98 lb-ft of torque isn’t a stable stallion. Despite its lack of power, pressing the Sport button helps it feel a little peppier. The five-speed manual transmission is hardly a chore, even when I’m just inching along at a snail’s pace. When not stuck in traffic, the 500C actually remains quiet on the open road, with the top up, of course. It certainly doesn’t handle like its race-primed sibling, the Abarth, but still manages to turn on a dime when required.

The top is down. The sun is shining. It’s not a bad day to be stuck in downtown traffic. John Legend’s All of Me comes on the radio while behind the wheel of the 2014 Fiat 500C. As I wait in the Georgia Street parking lot, I listen intently to the song. Some lyrics of the song are: “Love your curves and all your edges, all your perfect imperfections.” Hmmmm. As I contemplate this, it applies directly to the pintsized Fiat I’m captaining. In fact, there are imperfections about this four-seater that drive me crazy but I can’t seem to dislike it. One example is the sound that greets you as you enter its cabin. There is nothing melodic about it. No mellifluous ding-dong ding-done; just a harsh monotone noise that seems to stay longer than an uninvited party guest. Even passengers commented on how annoying it is. The volume buttons on the dash really should be knobs. You should be able to crank up The awesome Beats premium audio system in a hurry, not push by push. (It’s worth the additional $495 price tag.) Visibility is mediocre, especially with the top up. The canvas roof doesn’t allow for great visibility when backing up – top up or down – but thankfully there are backup sensors that help guide you into the spot you want to be in. The trunk only hosts 269 L. Unless you’re packing light, or just ditching the

The Red Bull Race Team pit crew is an energetic bunch. me scratching my head about which would be my choice. Both provide a quiet, comfortable drive, not averse to a sprint when necessary, all aided by a seven-speed auto transmission that is as a smooth as a baby’s you-knowwhat. All-wheel-drive would be an option I would choose on either model. Interestingly, the constantly changing speed limits flashing above helped show off the predictive forward collision technology. If you trust the car ahead, the radar-controlled gizmo will govern your speed and braking automatically. In addition, lane control keeps you on the straight and narrow should you drift into that passing car you were alerted to by another warning system. We finally reached Spa, famous for its therapeutic cold springs. By the time we arrived, we’d had enough of the

cold springs from above. The inclement weather didn’t dampen our spirits as we rubbed shoulders for the next two days with the fast and the fashionable in the Formula 1 Paddock Club at the Circuit de SpaFrancorchamps. Champers was the breakfast of champions at the Belgian Grand Prix, if you had the admission price of $3,500 burning a hole in your jeans. The food was not too shabby either: veal shank and rack of spring lamb, served with sweet corn terrine, sautéed summer vegetables, oven roasted pumpkin and port wine jus hooked me. Icy treats, desserts, anyone? – 1,000 calories a look. It was nice to end the weekend toasting the team’s victory. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Big Boy’s Toys is yelling… and the dealers better watch out!
As we climbed into a gleaming Infiniti Q50 sports sedan, one killjoy warned the road to the Belgian Grand Prix would be like a dance – quick, quick, slow. The tour of the Infiniti-Red Bull Racing factory had us pumped and ready to roar along the U.K.’s motorway network to Folkestone, Kent. There we would take Le Shuttle train beneath the waves of the English Channel to France and on to Spa, Belgium. It would be a 600-kilometre drive and take less than six hours. The doomsayer was right, try ten hours! The aforementioned four-time F1 champ influenced the production of this car so it was a neat idea to take the sharp-looking Q50 on an extended spin to a race weekend. However, plain sailing it was not as we encountered motorway chaos to the EuroTunnel. It was equal parts low-gear slow crawl, near-posted speed limit bursts – enabling a few paddle-flipping-gear changes – and parking pauses long enough to test the eight-position power seat adjustments and play with the large dual touch screen infotainment displays. The navigation system ‘lady’ suggested we take the M25 the opposite way around London. Whoops. Should have ignored her. Nevertheless, this was all a blessing because the car was forced to perform in adverse conditions and its mettle/ metal was truly tested.

Mustang champs at the bit
What drives you crazy? Shadow Magic Horizontals
by Keith Morgan
The all-new 2015 Ford Mustang is now in production and Driveway will be at the much anticipated pony car’s launch next month in California. It goes on sale here later this year then for the first time in its 50-year history the Mustang will be exported to more than 120 countries next year. The addition of a right-handdrive Mustang to Ford’s global vehicle lineup will allow the iconic pony car to be exported to more than 25 right-hand-drive markets around the world, including the United Kingdom, Australia and South Africa. Ford boasts that the sixth generation Mustang sets new performance and dynamics benchmarks for the brand with excellent handling, more precise steering control and enhanced ride comfort. “Mustang is and will continue to be an automotive icon,” said Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of The Americas. “Expanding its availability globally affords our customers around the world the opportunity to have a true firsthand Mustang experience – one unlike any other.” In April, Ford celebrated the 50th anniversary of the original Mustang. In commemoration of this, each 2015 model carry a badge on the instrument panel that includes the galloping pony logo and the words “Mustang – Since 1964.” Mustang’s impact goes well beyond the more than 9.2 million cars sold in its 50 years of continuous production. It has featured thousands of times in film, television, music and video games and is the mostliked vehicle on Facebook, with close to eight million likes. Though the car has been redesigned from the ground up it retains key design elements – including the long sculpted hood and short rear deck – but in a contemporary style. There are more power options available; a 3.7litre V6 and an all-new 2.3litre EcoBoost engine join the upgraded V8. The Mustang GT continues with the latest edition of the throaty 5.0-litre V8 – now featuring upgraded valvetrain, new intake manifold and improved cylinder heads – that yields 435 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft. of torque.

Program helps stroke survivors Isabel Albrecht, a member of the Nanaimo Curling Centre, was curling Jan. 31, 2011, when she experienced severe pain and was taken to the emergency department. While it took some testing, it was determined Albrecht needed open-heart surgery and was flown by air ambulance to Victoria. She also suffered a stroke, leaving her with loss of mobility on her left side. During recovery, she went to
therapy to regain movement, to re-learn how to write and to work on her memory. It has been a long process, but it’s worth it – Albrecht has a new way of life and a new look at life and she’s giving back. Albrecht is one of the volunteer facilitators for the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s new Living with Stroke program. The free program is designed to help stroke survivors and their families improve their

Beefs & bouquets BOUQUET To all the wonderful people who helped with the search for our lost dog, Kiki, in Linley Valley last month. She found her way home safe and sound. BEEF What is it with this city council wanting to waste our money again by painting the old city hall when they have a new building? BOUQUET To all our outstanding care homes for providing excellent care for the youth in our community who are seeking a healthier lifestyle. BEEF To cops who think they are above the law. I saw you turn left on a red light. You think using your lights and sirens to make the turn, then turning them off when you were through, makes it all right? BOUQUET To the guy they call Dundee for giving me your winning meat draw prize at the Cambie on Sept 6. Then you came to me after and gave me two Lotto Max tickets. BEEF To parents. Get off your high horse and stop blaming teachers. Maybe this is a wake-up call for parents to spend quality time with their children and teach them to respect over-worked, wonderful and caring teachers. BOUQUET To Bryan from Fountain Tire and the other gentleman who was walking along Lantzville Road for stopping and helping me with my boat trailer after my ‘whoops.’ It wasn’t shaping up to be much of a birthday for me, but with your help, you got me back on the road. BEEF To the parents who use their little fiveyear-old daughter to carry a sign on the picket line. She should not be exploited as a tool in a conflict of which she has no understanding. BOUQUET To Kathy and Lisa in the EDL department of the hospital. Your kindness and compassion made my experience less daunting and for that I am so appreciative.
BEEF More city signs and enforcement are needed at Departure Bay beach since dogs continue to be there despite bylaws. BOUQUET To Jerry Boake of Flamewright Services for supplying and installing our new Bryant Heat Pump system – on time, on budget, an excellent system. BEEF What a surprise to find out the movie theatre no longer provides free refills with a large popcorn purchase – another perk taken away. BOUQUET To the J. Van Ministry who presented a fun fair to the children of Harewood. All enjoyed food and fun as they were welcomed by Katie, Jackie, Kara, Isaac, Connor, Samantha, and Madeline. Thank you for ministering to our children through the summer. BEEF To Garfield. He’s always complaining about Mondays but wouldn’t every day of the week be the same for him? After all, he’s unemployed and all he does is lie around the house craving munchies. Also, he reminds me of someone.
BEEF To our teachers’ union and colleagues for playing a poker game by using our students and their families as poker chips.
BOUQUET To Chip’s Customs in Lantzville. The very best upholsterer around – so proud to show off my new re-done car.
BEEF To a large store’s employees. Cash registers were moved to outside entrance of the store, yet old cash area had signs saying closed. Customers trying to find registers were met by flippancy and rudeness.
BEEF To the cable company regarding station location numbers. With all the technical advances to date, surely someone in your organization has the know-how to advise subscribers of such a massive change. BOUQUET To Paul of Barron’s Home Appliance Centre. Thanks for being an honest and credible technician when you tried to hook up my new washing machine. BEEF To the guy on the yellow motorcycle who speeds along Metral Drive. Please slow down – many children and animals live in this area. I have enough nightmares from my own motorcycle accident and I’d hate to see anything else happen.
BOUQUET To my friend, Teri. What you did for us was unbelievable and brought tears to my eyes. All you said was, “One less stress to worry about and pay it forward.” I am honoured to be your friend.
BOUQUET To the Nanaimo casino for its wonderful hospitality on our 50th wedding anniversary. BEEF To so-called high-end restaurants for short pints of beer. BOUQUET To Lantzville and all the volunteers for another fantastic Minetown Day. It’s a wonderful family event with so many activities. BOUQUET To readers who ‘like’ the Nanaimo News Bulletin’s Facebook page.

BOUQUET To Tara McNeil, a wonderful exercise instructor, who is wise beyond words in the field of healthy living. Thanks for providing summer classes.
BOUQUET To the wonderful technical support staff at Shaw Cable. Special thanks for the very patient and knowledgeable Ed and Ash.
BEEF To a married couple for repeatedly inviting every kid in the neighbourhood but ours over to play with their kids on the trampoline and in their swimming pool. I don’t care if you don’t like me or my wife, what you did is classless and broke our four-year-old daughter’s heart.
Diabetes Care Centre Injection Pharmacist on-site
BEEF To the young guy on his dirt bike who constantly speeds along Metral Drive and goes a good 50 yards or so doing a wheelie. Very impressive, but there is a time and place for that, and it’s not on the open road.
BEEF To the paving company that did such a terrible job re-paving a section of Biggs Road earlier this summer. You guys might want to reconsider what you do for a living.
BOUQUET To all those who came to support our salmon barbecue on 10th Street. Special thanks to FMI, McNabs Corn Maze, Margret Hinksman and TerryLynn Saunders, for your kind donations.

Clippers face off I
BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN
BCHL SEASON starts with showcase tourney in Chilliwack. BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN
There’s nothing quite like the start of hockey season, say the Nanaimo Clippers. The city’s junior A hockey club will bring fierce forecheckers, toptier talent and high hopes into the 2014-15 B.C. Hockey League season, which gets underway Saturday (Sept. 20) in Chilliwack. “It’s a really exciting time of year and all the guys are looking forward to playing SEASON our first game,” said Brosseau, vetPREVIEW Devin eran forward. Last season, a young Clippers team made it to the first round of the playoffs. Much of the core returns, complemented by intriguing additions at every position. Mike Vandekamp, Clippers coach, said the team’s goal and expectation is to take another step further in 2014-15. “We want to finish as high as we can in the regular season, [and] we want to work towards winning a championship this year,” he said. “It’s going to take a lot of hard work and we’ve got, obviously, a long ways to go, but that’s where our focus is.” FORWARDS
The Clippers were a high-scoring team in exhibition play, and should have good depth on their forward lines. “There’s some speed and some strength,” said Vandekamp. “I think there’s going to be different styles of play from one line to the next.”
GREG SAKAKI/ThE NEwS BullETIN
Nanaimo Clippers forward Ryan Forbes has got his game face on as another B.C. Hockey League season gets underway. The Clips play the Prince George Spruce Kings on Saturday (Sept. 20) in Chilliwack.
The team’s top three scorers from last year are all back, with Brendan Taylor, Sheldon Rempal and Devin Brosseau expected to be offensive leaders again this season. Returning forwards Spencer Hewson, Jacob Hanlon, Ryan Forbes and Corey Renwick will play greater roles this year. Among the newcomers, Anthony Rinaldi is fast and strong and was Nanaimo’s leading goal scorer in exhibition play. Jake Jackson, an NHL
draft pick, is fast, skilled and entertaining. Cole Maier didn’t play in exhibition, but will be a good addition, said the coach. Nicolas Carrier scored a ton of points in junior college in Quebec last year and Brett Roulston played major junior the last two seasons. DEFENCE
Vandekamp said because of injury and transactions in the pre-season, the D corps is “a bit of an unknown,” but he thinks it
will become a solid unit. Big two-way defender Nick Gushue returns, along with fellow vets Austin Dick and Edwin Hookenson. During the pre-season the Clips traded for Kale Bennett, a solid and experienced BCHL player who was team captain of the Surrey Eagles. Rookie Yanni Kaldis will be another go-to guy on defence right away and should chip in some offence. Continued /39
For a long time, he liked to say that he bled orange. Now he’ll bleed blue. Former Nanaimo Clippers coach Bill Bestwick joined the St. Louis Blues this month as a scout for the NHL club. “Like many opportunities in life, right place at the right time,” Bestwick said. The Blues shuffled their amateur scouting staff this off-season and reached out to Bestwick. He said there will be a learning curve, though he’s accustomed to assessing junior-aged players. My recruiting [in the past] was almost based in the moment, finding a player that can play at the junior A level,” he said. “Now it’s identifying players that you think will grow into a professional player. I think that’s where the majority of the difference will be, and the science of how they recruit, what they look for, what their mantra is in St. Louis and all that.” The Nanaimo city councillor expects to have to travel less frequently as a scout than he did as a hockey coach.

The season starts with the BCHL Showcase tournament, but the Clippers want to showcase team play considering the points count in the standings. “If you play well and you garner a little bit of attention from a college coach or whatever, that’s great, that’s a bonus,” Vandekamp said. “But it’s really about getting out there and winning those games.” Obviously the Clippers want a strong start, said Brosseau. “We’re going to have to be ready to go and be really fired up, excited about those first games because they’re important for us,” he said. The Clippers play the Prince George Spruce Kings on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. at the Prospera Centre, then play the West Kelowna Warriors Sunday at 2:30 p.m. at the same venue. Nanaimo’s home opener is Sept. 26 when the Powell River Kings visit Frank Crane Arena. For season ticket information, please visit www. nanaimoclippers.com. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Nanaimo News Bulletin Thursday, September 18, 2014
redmen recharge The defending champs are off to an up-and-down start in 2014. After a 30-0 loss to the Langley Stampeders and a 47-0 win over the Richmond Raiders, the Nanaimo Redmen midget football team will travel to play the Chilliwack Giants on Saturday (Sept. 20) in Vancouver Mainland Football League action. “We have similar numbers to what we had last year, but we don’t have as much size and we have a lot less experience,” said Sean Roden, the team’s coach. He’s happy with the progression of his team, as well as attendance at practice and attitude, he said. The Redmen are a skilled group but they’ll need to get the best out of all their guys every week to be competitive. “It will be tough this year. We’ve got, I think, four teams in the league that have maxed out their rosters,” Roden said. “We’ve got some real powerhouses that we’ll be up against.” For an expanded version of this story, please visit www.nanaimobulletin.com.
