City streets could host food trucks

Anchorage proposal angers Gabriolans BY KARL YU THE NEWS BULLETIN

POLICY BEING developed to allow entrepreneurs to set up shop at areas across Nanaimo. BY TAMARA CUNNINGHAM THE NEWS BULLETIN

Food-truck fare could soon be dished out on city streets. The City of Nanaimo is crafting a new policy to open select city streets to food trucks for the first time. It’s still in early days, but is expected to make parking lot locations and parks available, such as Brechin Boat Ramp and Harewood Centennial, as well as offer food-truck operators a streamlined application process and flexibility in where they set up any given day. Even an app could be created to help entrepreneurs find places to set up for the day, and for customers to know where to find them. It’s a document that’s been more than a year in the making. While food trucks can set up at special events and in parks with a licence-use agreement, they currently aren’t allowed to serve cuisine on city streets. There is also only one food truck vendor permitted in Nanaimo’s most popular waterfront park – an issue that’s currently under review in the Maffeo Sutton Park Improvement Plan. Tamera Rogers, city planning assistant, said the policy aims to make it easier for food truck entrepreneurs to operate in the city. The new policy, informed by the Downtown Nanaimo Business Improvement Association, Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce and food-truck operators, will offer first-come, first-served street spots and flexibility in shifting locations. The city is considering locations at Front, Church and Wallace streets and allow for a 25-metre buffer zone from restaurants. See ‘POLICY’ /4

Fresh fountain

Sandra Larocque expresses her feelings about the first phase of refurbishment to the Italian Fountain that was recently completed near Port Place Shopping Centre. Larocque’s father, Peter Zuccolini, helped build the fountain, which was given to the city by Nanaimo’s Italian community in 1961.

Residents of Gabriola Island are voicing opposition to a proposal that could see freighters anchoring in island waters. Gabriola Anchor Rage, a grassroots movement, has sprung up in response to a Pacific Pilotage Authority of Canada plan that aims to establish anchorage sites for five capesize vessels, 300 metres long, off the northeastern shore of the island. Heather Nicholas, Gabriola trustee and Anchor Rage liaison for Islands Trust, said she has numerous concerns, including potential for serious environmental impact. “There’s the impact on the seabed, because these are not small anchors or small chains and so anything that’s put down is going to be devastating. Having these chains scraping along the sea floor and so on is going to be devastating to habitat, to anything living down there. “There’s a lot of species that rely on our marine floor and our marine waters and they’ll be all be put at risk,” said Nicholas. Kevin Obermeyer, pilotage authority CEO, pointed out that this is still a proposal. The process has taken about three years and areas in Delta and Galiano Island were examined. “For the most part, this coast of ours is not conducive to anchoring ships. It’s got a rock bottom or it’s very, very steep. So if you anchored the ship, you’re going to be so close to the land that it would be unsafe, so we don’t have a lot of options. “Believe me, we went through this until the only one that made sense, unfortunately, was Gabriola,” said Obermeyer. The authority is conducting an environmental review and anticipates holding public consultation in early 2016. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

residents express hope in new Lantzville council

four ChoSEN as part of village’s byelection saturday.

By Tamara Cunningham The News bulleTiN

CHRIS BUSH/THe NewS BUlleTIN

Planning stage

Charles George, a full-time carver, sketches out a design on wood cut in the shape of a fish at Maffeo Sutton Park Thursday. George, who is originally from Bella Bella, B.C., has made Nanaimo his home over the past 20 years.

Hope has come back for longtime Lantzville resident Mary Alyward, who was just about ready to wash her hands of village politics. There was political turmoil and no respect. Democracy was “out the door.” When the provincial government allowed three council members to form quorum, it just about finished her, she said Then she saw the candidates in this month’s byelection, which ended Saturday, and realized it was an opportunity to get the community back on track. “There wasn’t anything there to grab onto until that happened,” said Alyward. “The four that got in, spoke the strongest [at an all-candidates’ meeting] and they love Lantzville and want us to prosper and get back to being a good, healthy community again. “That’s when hope came back.” Thirty-seven per cent of the electorate turned out to vote for four councillors in the byelection. Bob Colclough topped the polls, followed by Mark Swain, Will Wyn Gesel-

bracht and former Nanaimo school district chairwoman Dot Neary. They will take their seats Aug. 31, marking the first time council has been at full power since May. Lantzville has seen seven resignations at the district, including three senior managers and four politicians. Councillors left amid complaints of dysfunction, micromanagement and negative experiences. Some residents are concerned problems still exist, but there’s also hope for the future and a desire to see progress on issues like village core improvement and additional water supply. Resident Marjorie Stewart said it was “half an election,” meaning the other half of the problem is still there, but is feeling fairly hopeful when she sees the calibre of the people elected. She likes that they have experience of process and will hold the line when process is ignored, and would like them to be strong and independent. Glen Dunsworth and Glenda Barr also hope for strength. Dunsworth said Lantzville needs strong people who will stand up to the mayor when he tries to “invoke his own agenda.” Barr said the new group has diversity, new ideas and a burst of energy that could do a lot of good things. She’s looking

for co-operation, action and respect among councillors and toward residents, who she said haven’t been spoken to nicely at past council meetings. “I am hoping that’s going to change and that these people will be strong enough and able to work together as a team and sort things out.” Colclough said he is going to do his best to live up to expectations. He also believes council can move beyond past issues with a positive attitude, respect and a focus on district business. “I guess I’m the optimist – that this is going to work and we’re going to get on with the business and it’s an exciting time for Lantzville,” he said. Mayor Colin Haime did not respond to requests for an interview.

Nanaimo council faces cost uncertainty on Colliery dam remediation By Tamara Cunningham The News bulleTiN

Nanaimo traded cost certainties for the ability to meet deadlines in the Colliery dam project. Nanaimo city council agreed 7-2 to move ahead with a cost-plus contract for spillway construction at the lower Colliery dam at Monday’s council meeting. It also waived the city’s

purchasing bylaw for a public tender call and instructed staff to invite contractors to submit their bids. Councillors had concerns about the new contract process. Typically, the city goes with a design-bid-then build process, where the contractor assumes the risk and includes costs in its bid price. But with the city facing deadlines from the

B.C. Comptroller of Water Rights, staff members proposed a cost-plus contract as “the only viable option.” It will allow contractors to get started on work before a design is completed for a spillway and permits are in place, but it also creates uncertainty around what the final costs will be until the work is actually done. Coun. Jim Kipp, who

opposed the motion, called it a scary thing. But according to councillors Wendy Pratt and Diane Brennan, council created this situation. “These aren’t ideal conditions and we are the author of that,” Pratt said. “I believe we just need to get on with this.” Council will be provided with updates on remediation costs. Nanaimo Mayor

Bill McKay has also announced the members of a new Colliery dams select committee, which includes councillors Jim Kipp and Bill Yoachim, Wally Wells, Leon Cake, Lorne Gale, Peter Urquhart and Snuneymuxw First Nation representatives Chris Good and Emmy Manson. Michelle Corfield will be the facilitator. news@nanaimobulletin.com

“It’s something that many other municipalities have been doing to honour the fact that the bricks-and-mortar [restaurants] are there and kind of deal with the possible anxiety of allowing these new businesses in,” she said. Nanaimo can learn best practices from other community’s experiences, according to Kim Smythe, chief executive officer of the chamber, who’s been involved in policy discussions. “We have a real great opportunity to establish policy that could influence other communities going forward,” he said. Darren Smith, owner of Island Kabobs and Shaved Ice, also considers the new policy a “great thing.” He currently can only get a spot at the Departure Bay ferry terminal and special events. He believes the city can start by allowing more food trucks into Maffeo Sutton Park. “This town could open up,” he said. A food truck policy will be ready for committee review this September.

Inbrief Fireplace rebate shelved Firefighters put out campfire A group of squatters is believed to be responsible for a small brush fire below a railway right of way on Haliburton Street Tuesday. Firefighters were called shortly after noon to put out a low, smouldering fire, according to inspector Rick Kwasnecha. “It looked like they had a campfire going the night before that spread to the bush,” he said. The fire’s location was difficult to get to and firefighters were on scene for a long period of time extinguishing hot spots, Kwasnecha said.

Regional District of Nanaimo directors voted against introducing rebates for natural gas fireplace inserts. At its July 28 meeting, the board voted down a recommendation to introduce rebates into the regional district’s green building

incentive program, suggesting only residents in pockets of French Creek, Nanoose and Cedar would be eligible. The regional district said natural gas fireplaces don’t provide notable energy savings or reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. Alec McPherson, Cedar electoral area director, voted against the motion. He estimated 3,100 properties are in his area, with 1,000 having access to

Special meaning behind donation B

CLuB FuNdRaiSES for charity that aided founding member. By Karl yu The News BulleTiN

The Redliners Car Club’s annual donation to Nanaimo Community Hospice Society has extra special meaning this year. Since 2013, the car club has been donating proceeds from its summer car show to hospice, which provides services such as grief counselling and palliative support. This year’s $5,077 – given in conjunction with Woodgrove Chrysler – was made after friends and family of Chris (Chip) Lenton, founding member and show organizer, utilized hospice services after his death in July 2014. The club felt that hospice was the best charity to give to when it began donating, according to Bob Falk, club chairman. “It is a really good community charity to give to ... because we lost Chip, some of his family came here and [used hospice services], so it was a give-give thing, said Falk. Jeanne Fahlman, hospice’s development officer, said it

To date, approximately $13,577 has been donated. “Chip was one of [those who initiated] our partnership and such a vibrant, young man that contributed so much,” said Fahlman. “We feel honoured that we were able to help when his family needed help.” The show took place July 12 at Montana’s parking lot at

EDITORIAL

Food trucks a tasty idea The City of Nanaimo is starting to cook up a food truck policy. City staff is drafting rules and regulations that could get mobile eateries on downtown streets more often. It’s a tasty idea. Food trucks aren’t just a fad – they’re a thriving business and even a tourist draw in modern cities, and we’ve recognized for a long time that we should have more of them on the menu here. The city already grants special-event licences for food-truck operators, who tend to be a hit with summer festivalgoers at Maffeo Sutton Park, for example. But food trucks can also have success served up daily as a component of the busy, bustling downtown we all want. Some might argue that the trucks draw diners away from the many eateries in the area that aren’t on wheels, but we think on balance, they will bring more hungry bellies downtown. Sometimes we run errands in a particular part of the city with the vague notion that we’ll grab a bite to eat while we’re there. If we start to think of downtown as a place with even more lunchtime options, we might be more likely to take our business there. A lot of municipalities have already rolled out fleets of food trucks, so Nanaimo can pick and choose its policies. We want to attract operators, but we want to do so in a business climate that’s fair to the restaurants that pay property taxes. Hopefully we can find a compromise to suit most palates, because we’re getting hungry just thinking about potential foodtruck fare. It can be surprisingly gourmet, as operators can do one thing and do it very well. It’s a different kind of fast food that fits into our frenetic lifestyles. It can be social or solitary dining. There are a lot of different ways to revitalize our downtown, but not many are this delicious. When it comes to mobile meals, it’s time for Nanaimo to get truckin’.

‘Having these chains scraping along the sea floor is going to be devastating to habitat.’

NDP leader John Horgan formalized his opposition to the TransMountain expansion last week, in a letter filed with the National Energy Board. But we’re expected to believe that Mulcair has a different position, for now. Harper was forced to admit that his long effort to persuade U.S. President Barack Obama to approve the Keystone XL pipeline has failed, and the project will have to wait until Obama leaves office next year. Trudeau set the stage for the contest in Quebec, which B.C. voters can only watch from afar to see if it once again decides the shape of their federal government. Trudeau pushed Mulcair on his cynical bid to court the separatist voters who suddenly swung to Jack Layton’s NDP in 2011. Like petroleum prices, it’s beyond our control. ◆ Tom Fletcher is columnist and legislature reporter for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Councillors should be passionate

Keep liquor out of tunnel To the Editor,

To the Editor,

Re: Facilitator hired to address internal council issues, July 2. I too am continually angered like the mayor about council inadequacies – but by those who feel an entitlement to taxpayers’ money and throw a tantrum when it is not easily relinquished. From some on council to the self-proclaimed business leaders and special interest groups, they are the real troublemakers that a facilitator needs to put in the spotlight and tighten the noose on. The prescription for running a good democratic government is debate. And when it involves about $200 million for council to distribute each year, I do not mind passion and some temper at the council table. There are 89,000 people in our city, but you would not know it when it comes to those lined up for taxpayer goodies and those politicians only too happy to oblige. Arguing, raising your voice and pointing fingers surely beats the guns and tanks that are used in some countries to force the wishes of a few on the masses. The in-fighting in Nanaimo just means there is passion and conviction. J.C. Broderick Nanaimo

There is a certain hypocrisy that comes along with the outrage over lion hunting in Africa, suggests letter writer.

Lion hunting a reminder of some disturbing truths To the Editor,

Recently a dentist in the U.S. has earned the wrath of a global public over his trophy killing of Cecil the lion, a collared member of an endangered species. While it seems obvious that mass public shaming is appropriate, this outpouring of anger reveals a disturbing truth about our relationship with non-human animals. Lions don’t know their species is endangered. They don’t know that humans value their attributes more than they value numerous other species. Cecil did not know he was named ‘Cecil.’ This feeling of rage toward the hunter should be accompanied by sober reflection. Before joining the chorus of righteous chants, consider your own

behaviour. If you eat at fast-food restaurants, you fund factory farming, which causes prolonged suffering of hundreds of millions of sentient beings every year. If you buy cosmetics from companies that test their products on animals, you support extreme cruelty. If you are not bothered to publicly oppose vivisection, you sanction unthinkable torture of millions of sentient beings. All of these victims of human enterprise are unaware that their species is not endangered, or that their value to human beings is extremely different to Cecil. They know what Cecil knew, suffering at the hands of powerful, two-legged creatures.

Re: Rezoning application seeks to move liquor store to Brooks Landing, July 30. Liquor at Brooks Landing is a bad idea. The location is adjacent to an underground tunnel that is used by numerous pedestrians and cyclists to safely cross the highway. This strategic connector is the entry and exit point for Woodlands school and leads to various other paths and roadways. If public liquor consumption is happening inside or around the tunnel, people will feel unsafe and will be forced to avoid this important connector. The goals of the city’s plan to increase pedestrian and commuter bicycle trips will be set back significantly. For this and many other reasons it is important for the city to follow its own criteria for liquor rezoning (150 metres from schools) and not allow this application to go through.

Beefs & bouquets BOUQUET To Ross and Christine at the Harewood Co-op gas bar for contacting me after I dropped my pre-paid gas card near a gas pump.

BOUQUET To Stacey, a stranger on the bus, who noticed that an old lady was melting and offered me a bottle of cool water. You have earned your wings, Stacey.

BEEF To the person whining about the neighbour blowing some yard waste into the street. Windy days must be particularly hard for you.

BEEF To the two realtors making jokes on Facebook about employees making time and a half on stats and how you going to show a house on a long weekend somehow means you should, too. Sorry the upwards of a million-dollar salary isn’t enough.

BEEF To the fries place. If your kindness to giving out change only goes to the first two people who ask, you shouldn’t bother at all. You’ll never know how big of a tip you lost by turning this third customer away.

BOUQUET Best news ever to hear there is finally a new care director at a senior’s facility. She seems so very nice indeed.

BOUQUET To the lady with brown hair and pinky-purple lipstick that I started talking to on the Woodgrove bus. It really made my day when you started talking to me. BEEF To robot callers calling during meal times. BOUQUET To Buddy from Royal LePage for being such an awesome and respectful property manager. He was at my house within 10 minutes of me reporting my broken hot water tank, and dealt with the issue while I got ready and went to work. BEEF To selective water conservation. We aren’t allowed to wash our cars or water our lawns, yet I saw a couple of people washing a store sign. BOUQUET A dishonest and incompetent contractor ruined my home and cost me my life savings. Through it all, the building inspections department at the City of Nanaimo was consistently fair and did its best to be considerate. BEEF To those who threw butts into my dry garden on Budehaven Drive. We back onto Planta Park. BOUQUET To Rita of Jumping Jiminy’s in Nanaimo. You have just the right attitude around the kids – they know they can play and have fun, but must follow the rules. BEEF Politicians who claim they lower taxes while running deficits. Deficits are the coward’s way of raising taxes on future generations.

BEEF To the irresponsible parents who let their son throw rocks that injured a picnicker at Piper’s Lagoon. I had a large, painful goose egg on my head for days.

BOUQUET To Margaret and all the other volunteers at the hospice thrift store. When they saw an old lady melting from the heat, they offered me water and a ride to my destination.

BOUQUET To world-famous André Rieu for his latest brilliant concert at our Galaxy Theatre. Extreme happiness.

BEEF To the company power washing an entire apartment building for more than four hours. A building can be washed in the fall when water isn’t being conserved by everyone else.

BOUQUET To Barrons Appliance who sold us a stacking washer/dryer. Your confidence and information as so helpful and kind. BOUQUET To Ian Thorpe for his sports column, which names youngsters in various school sports. It must give self-esteem to them and to their families.

BOUQUET To polite smokers. I am driven everywhere and in nice weather I like to wait outside. Almost every smoker who sits near me asks if I mind if they smoke.

BOUQUET To the gentlemen at Country Grocer Southgate who paid for a blind elderly man’s groceries. BOUQUET To all the responders to my wife’s fall on the Westwood Lake trail, especially the nurses and paramedics Martin and Steve. She is recovering well.

I am so grateful I had the tag on my ring. BOUQUET To the young people in Ricky’s who paid the bill for the senior couple. Your kind, unexpected gesture will be paid forward. BOUQUET To Lorna at the Bowen Road McDonald’s for allowing two very tired and hot runners to refill their water bottles. It was the best water we have ever tasted. BOUQUET To Jamie Logan at Nanaimo Transit for making it easier and much safer for handicapped people with walkers to ride the bus. Your assistance getting a safer stop at Hillcrest is very much appreciated. BOUQUET To those who are conserving water.

ver the last four weeks, 10 teenagers have been hanging out in downtown Nanaimo. From Monday to Friday, the teens meet at exactly the same place at the exact same time. Once at their meeting spot, the teens engage in all kinds of creative and artistic activity under the supervision of Nanaimo Art Gallery art education coordinator Yvonne Vander Kooi. Since July 20, the teenagers have been participating in Dazzle Camouflage, a four-week contemporary art immersion program hosted at the gallery’s Art Lab. “It was exciting for me to work with these youths,” Vander Kooi said. The participating art students, who range from 15-19 in age, are Haley Anderson, Celena Barnes, Jacob Burgoyne-King, Iringo Duha, Sydney Howlett, Jordan Moes, Daniel Puglas, Molly Taylor, Zoey Thompson and Charlotte Zhang. Tonight (Aug. 13), the 10 teenagers will be showcasing their work at the Dazzle Camouflage Art Exhibition at the Art Lab. The show is a culmination of the teens’ work during the Dazzle Camouflage program, which required the students to create individual

Molly Taylor, back left, Daniel Puglas, Celena Barnes, Charlotte Zhang, Zoey Thompson, Iringo Duha, Haley Anderson, Jacob Burgoyne-King, Jordan Moes, Yvonne Vander Kooi and Sydney Howlett put their paints down for a team photo inside the Nanaimo Art Gallery’s Art Lab.

pieces as well as a group piece. “I am just looking forward to looking at everyone’s pieces put together beside each other and seeing how everyone reacts [to them],” said Moes, 16. Over the course of the program, the teenagers were

exposed to a variety of different art forms including painting, video, stop animation, drawing, sculpture, photography, performance and design. The program also explored the notion of identity, transformation and disguise. “An important

component was exposing the youths to contemporary art, so sharing with them what is happening in art and culture today,” Vander Kooi said. Earlier in the year she went out and promoted the Dazzle Camouflage program at area high schools.

That is how a number of the teens, including Thompson, 17, became interested in the program. “I was just really intrigued by it,” she said. “My photography program at school is being cut next year.” During the first week, the students

had the opportunity to study under Vancouver-based filmmaker and photographer Brian Lye, who shared concepts and ideas using film and stop animation. In the following weeks, the students heard from other artists including Elizabeth Milton and lessLie.

Duha, 17, came into the program fond of painting, but now has an appreciation for other art forms. “Before it was just painting, but I got really, really into stop-motion animation, which I did not expect to like it whatsoever,” Duha said.

Musicians descend on brewery

LONGWOODSTOCK event this weekend.

BY NICHOLAS PESCOD The News BulleTiN

More than just beer will be brewing at the Longwood Brewery this coming Saturday. On Aug. 15, the brewery will be the site of a oneday music festival dubbed Longwoodstock. Event organizer and Dope Soda band member, Dave St. Jean says the idea for Longwoodstock came from wanting to create a festivalstyle event in the community. “We wanted to have a party or festival in Nanaimo that was different from Bathtub races,” St. Jean said. Longwoodstock will feature performances by Vince Vaccaro, Dope Soda, Carmanah, Lovecoast, J.P. Maurice, Band of Rascals and Hazen Sage.

Pay for this.

Longwoodstock organizer David St. Jean stands inside the Longwood Brewery. The brewery will be the site of Longwoodstock, a one-day music event.

The Longwood Brewery will be offering five different craft beer selections during the festival, including a brand new drink specially made for the event. The event’s name is inspired by the

famous 1969 music festival, Woodstock. For St. Jean, it is the first time he has organized a festivalstyle event before. He says going from performer to planner is challenging but also enjoyable.

“I have been to a lot of festivals, but I have never been in the shoes of running a festival before, so I am finding out all sorts of things,” St. Jean said. “It is definitely a lot of my time spent on phone calling and texting.” In order to generate interest, St. Jean organized a pre-party event at the Queen’s, where singers competed for a chance to become the opening act for Longwoodstock. The winner was Sage. Longwoodstock will be held at the Longwood Brewery, 101A-2046 Boxwood Rd. The gates open at 1 p.m., with music beginning at 2 p.m. Tickets range from $25-$40 and can be purchased at Lucid, The Dog’s Ear, Desire Tattoo, Fascinating Rhythm, Longwood Brewery and Longwood Brew Pub.

Art gallery program connects teens From /11

The teens all say that the program was worthwhile and that they enjoyed working with each other. “We all really connected quickly because we had this one goal in mind,” Barnes, 17, said. “It was really nice to meet everyone and I really liked working with the artists.” Zhang, 15, says the program taught her to push the boundaries artistically. “I’ve always known

that art can be anything, but I’ve kind of had my eyes opened,” she said. For Thompson, the program has improved her skills as a photographer. “Seeing photography that I’ve taken a month ago and comparing it to now, it has actually gotten so much better. More than what I would have expected,” she said. For Vander Kooi, working with the teens was a real treat.

“I think working with ar tists and youths is quite a privilege and it is a great opportunity for me to widen my notion and

definition of art as well,” she said. Dazzle Camouflage runs tonight (Aug. 13) from 6:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. and

again on Friday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. at the Art Lab located inside the Nanaimo Art Gallery. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

▸ Hyundai takes their entry-level Tucson crossover upscale for 2016 while increasing its price tag by a mere $400 despite a major gain in standard equipment.

DrivewayCanada.ca |

▸ Exceptional structural rigidity and absorbent underpinnings gave the Tucson a remarkably smooth, well-controlled ride over the worst of West Coast roads.

▸ Not only is the Tucson generously equipped; its cabin is well thought-out and beautifully executed.

▸ The all-new Tucson makes a strong visual statement with bold styling and a longer, wider stance.

the best of them in the fiercely competitive compact crossover segment. While Hyundai’s soft-touch surfaces and intuitive architecture are praiseworthy, it’s the larger slice of ‘content’ pie which they serve that sets the Tucson apart from its contemporaries under competing nameplates. “More for less” has always been a Hyundai hallmark, and the Tucson adheres to the credo with its outstanding list of standard and near-standard features, including safety tech such as Blind Spot Detection with Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, and Autonomous Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection. Thoughtful touches include heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-level cargo floor, and a remarkably convenient Proximity power liftgate. The latter opening by merely sensing the key in proximity of the liftgate for three seconds. No longer can the Tucson be considered an entry-level crossover despite its modest across-the-board increase of roughly $400. The upscale climb includes the availability of an optional 1.6L turbocharged I-4 GDI engine harnessed to a segment-exclusive 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT). The turbocharged mill fortifies the AWD Tucson with 175 horsepower and 195

lb.-ft. of torque, and is the obvious choice for passing-lane adherents. The base 2.0L I-4 GDI (required with FWD) is the powerplant of choice for the modest. It shells out 164 horsepower and 151 lb.-ft. of torque through the auspices of a six-speed autobox. Three drive modes – Eco, Normal, and Sport – enable drivers to tweak engine response, shift mapping, and steering resistance, to correspond with the mood of the day. I really didn’t find a need for Sport mode, largely enjoying the Normal setting most. After spending a day administering the turbocharged and non-turbocharged Tucson variants, I departed the Sunshine Coast with the view that Hyundai has raised the bar for refinement, comfort, and value in the compact crossover segment. Albeit, handling dynamics and sheer athleticism may still belong to the likes of Mazda’s CX5.

2015 follows 2014 and 2013 as particularly rich years for automotive milestones. Here’s another automotive anniversary – the 1955 Ford Thunderbird The Corvette may have been the first post-war American two-seater from one of the Big Three, but it was the Thunderbird that was the most popular. In fact, after a disappointing first two model years, Chevy was considering killing the Corvette until the runaway popularity of the 1955 T-Bird made them reconsider. Made famous in George Lucas’ film, American Graffiti, the 1955-57 two-seater ‘baby birds’ remain the most collectible T-Birds.

The News Bulletin regrets the error and any confusion it caused.

ultimate, fully armored, ultra-luxurious SUV called the Knight XV. The vehicle starts as a Ford F550 chassis. The cab is removed and the custom built exoskeleton is installed. Everything is custom-built, right down to the door handles, steering wheel and running boards, made from stainless steel and billet aluminum. The armoured version has a V7 rating, meaning it can stop an armour-piercing bullet at close range and the undercarriage can survive a hand grenade explosion.

We Salute Nanaimo’s

TOP AUTOMOTIVE SALES PEOPLE For July 2015!

by Bob McHugh

The very first Honda Accord, introduced to Canadians back in 1976, was about the same size as today’s Civic sedan and it had a less powerful engine. When the eighth generation Accord was introduced in 2008, it was officially classified as a ‘large car’ and came with a 190-horsepower fourcylinder engine, or an even more powerful optional V6. Eight-gen Accord did get a mild mid-life facelift for the 2011 model year and it included new front-end styling and some interior improvements. A new base SE trim line also replaced the previous LX trim. The four-cylinder is by far the most popular engine choice of Canadians, but there was also an interesting upgrade to the optional 3.5-litre V6 in 2011. Called variable cylinder management, this system can improve fuel economy by shutting-down two or three cylinders, during light load driving conditions. Highway fuel economy with this V6 is almost the same as the four-cylinder version of Accord. No changes were made to Accord for the 2012 model year. The big changes came in 2013 when a landmark, smaller and lighter, all-new ninth generation Honda Accord was released. Although lighter, the 2013 Accord is structurally stronger than the previous generation Accord and although its outer dimensions are more compact and it has a shorter wheelbase, it has more rear seat legroom and a slightly larger trunk, according to Honda. Major changes also happened under-hood with the release of Honda’s new Earth Dreams engine technology. This could also be linked to a high-efficiency new CVT automatic. In addition to being considerably more fuel efficient the 2.4 litre four-cylinder Earth Dreams editions of Accord are also superclean running and comply with partial zero emission vehicle requirements in the U.S. This engine also supplies more power at low engine speeds, just where you need it, on take-off, on a hill or when merging into freeway traffic. Its city/highway fuel economy ratings of 9.1 L/100 kilometres in the city an 6.6L/100km on the highway with the CVT, are outstanding for a familysize sedan.

Lacrosse champs look ahead

Raiders to play home and away versus Broncos

SR. B SQUAD will compete at nationals.

BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN

The senior B Nanaimo Timbermen hope that third time’s a charm, and that being champions is also a charm. The team is looking ahead to its third straight berth in the Presidents’ Cup national championships after winning the West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association title last week. Nanaimo swept the Ladner Pioneers in the finals. In 2013 the Timbermen went to nationals because other B.C. teams declined the opportunity, and in 2014 they went because B.C. had an extra berth. In 2015, the T-men earned their way to the big tourney. Going in on a winning note could make a difference, said Nick Agius, alternate captain. “We’re going to go in there with a full head of steam this year,” he said. Jon Diplock, team captain, said this year feels different than the last two. “I think it’s the best chance that we’ve had in the three years we’ve been here, so we’re really optimistic,” he said.

The task is a little bit different for the V.I. Raiders this week – they will look to respond to, and rebound from, their first loss of the season. The Raiders, coming off a 27-3 loss to the Okanagan Sun, are getting ready to play the Kamloops Broncos. Coach Jerome Erdman said he and his staff stress that the team shouldn’t get too high or too low over the course of a football season. “Modus operandi’s still the same – work hard, get our assignments down, get a good grasp of what Kamloops is going to do,” Erdman said. The Broncos will pose a challenge. Statistically, they boast the league leaders in passing yards, receiving yards and rushing yards. To combat that, Erdman said, “we’re going to run around, we’re going to play hard, we’re going to be patient and eliminate the big play.” On the other side of the ball, the Raiders will try for better balance on offence. Last week they couldn’t muster much with the run game, and Erdman said “you’ve got to be able to do both” to be successful. It’s the first of two straight games against the Broncos, so the home-and-home series shapes up as an important stretch of the schedule. “If we win both of them we’ll be in very good shape and we play the first one here, so we have got to make hay,” Erdman said. GAME ON … The Raiders host the Broncos on Saturday (Aug. 15) at 4 p.m. at Caledonia Park. Tickets, $12 for adults, will be available at the gate.

GREG SAKAKI/ThE NEwS BullETIN

Senior B Nanaimo Timbermen player Steve Higgs, left, is checked by Ladner Pioneers opponents Chris Fox and Mike Donaldson during Game 3 of the West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association finals on Saturday at Frank Crane Arena.

Shawn Swanson, general manager of the Timbermen, said past experience benefits his team. “We know what kind of talent we’re up against,” he said. Mike Maughan, coach of the T-men, mentioned that with the Presidents’ Cup in St. Catharines, Ont., teams from Eastern Canada will have bolstered their rosters. But the tourney has been a long-standing goal for the Timbermen, too, and they’ve similarly sought to build up their roster to be contenders.

“I think I like our chances even more than the last couple years,” Maughan said. “We’ve had good experience of seeing what the competition’s like, and it’s really strong.” So Nanaimo’s deep roster will help. “In years past, we had 18 strong guys, but when you’re playing seven games in six nights, that starts to die pretty quick,” Swanson said. “So with the depth we have right now, we’re confident that we play any 18 out there, any combination and our

talent won’t drop.” The T-men will have a lot of time between now and nationals. Their last indoor practices were cancelled this week as ice went in the arena, and the team will head to the outdoor lacrosse box and to the turf field. If the Timbermen keep sharp, they feel they can compete with Canada’s best senior B clubs. “Honestly, I think we are one of the best the country has to offer, so I think we’ll fare really well,” Agius said.

Quickfacts PRESIDENTS’ CUP nationals will be held in st. Catharines, Ont. from Aug. 31-sept. 6. THE TIMBERMEN will be fundraising in the meantime, starting with a beer-and-burger and silent auction event sunday (Aug. 16) from 6-9 p.m. at the Old City station Pub. Tickets are $20; for information, please call 250585-7551 or search for the team on Facebook.

The club had a contingent of athletes at the Legion National Youth Track and Field Championships this past weekend in Sainte-Thérèse, Que. Jason Clare was the big winner, capturing gold in U18 pole vault with a leap of 4.5 metres. Madison Heisterman won silver in the U16

1,200-metre race and earned bronze in the 800m with a time of 2:11.41 that was less than two-tenths of a second off gold-medal pace. Jessica Katzberg earned silver in the U16 hammer throw with a 48.58m toss, Marina Andersen took silver in the U16 1,500m race walk and

Rachel Jerome took bronze in the U18 long jump with a 5.64m leap. Legion nationals were the final meet of the summer for the Nanaimo club, so it is looking back at a number of major accomplishments over the past few months. Clare’s national championship and the

seven national medals are added to a haul of 22 provincial championships and 68 provincial medals. The club can also boast nine provincial team athletes and two national team athletes. Many track club members will participate in cross-country season, which begins next month.

Gymnasts on a high A gymnast from Gabriola Island hopes to step on the trampoline and take on the world. Adin Brenner qualified for world championships after finishing second in the double mini trampoline event at the Canadian Trampoline Gymnastics Championships in Calgary last month. Brenner also took fourth in the trampoline event. He was part of a five-athlete contingent from Nanaimo Gymnastics School. His teammate Emily Mould placed seventh in tumbling.
