A country fair with urban flair I

Minority signs code of conduct BY TAMARA CUNNINGHAM THE NEWS BULLETIN

Only four city politicians have signed a new pledge on conduct and performance. Nanaimo city councillors had a chance during an open meeting Monday to commit to documents outlining the conduct, performance, roles and responsibilities of civic politicians. Only Mayor Bill McKay and councillors Ian Thorpe, Wendy Pratt and Diane Brennan made the pledge. The declaration was the first result of a $75,000 governance review, which flagged governance flaws at city hall. The review said that significant tension, name calling and physical altercations among councillors and staff undermined any attempt at good governance. Fifty-nine recommendations were made for improvement, including a charter that sets out council responsibility. Documents around roles, responsibilities, conduct and potential consequences for breaches, such as bullying and improper use of influence, were adopted last year. See ‘COUNCILLORS’ /5

VANCOUVER ISLAND Exhibition helps connect city dwellers to food production and agriculture. BY TAMARA CUNNINGHAM THE NEWS BULLETIN

TAMARA CUNNINGHAM/THE NEWS BULLETIN

Cedar 4H Club member Teagan Bradley, 14, holds up a curious goat at the Beban 4H Barnyard. The barnyard animals are some of the attractions people can check out at the Vancouver Island Exhibition, which starts tomorrow (Aug. 21).

Quality & Service at Budget Prices Quote Of The Week

The best way to your child’s attention is to sit down & look comfortable.

Shake out those cowboy boots, Nanaimo. It’s the start of the Vancouver Island Exhibition The three-day summertime fair kicks off tomorrow (Aug. 21), with food, rides and vintage tractors. Organizers say the event got its start in downtown Nanaimo 121 years ago, thanks to a group of farmers who wanted to show off their products and animals. Today the fair stays true to its country roots, with a little urban flair. People can try their hand at goat milking, watch the West Coast Vaulters and pet farm animals or play bingo, take a whirl on amusement rides or see the wrestling match for the King of the Ex title. In a push to rein in more youth, “country night” has been moved to Sunday with Aaron Pritchett and Backstage Whiskey, while Econoline Crush and Daniel Wesley will light up the stage Friday. “Because we’re in an urban setting, people don’t get to see farm animals, so they can come here and learn about the animals, and go on the rides, and have some food and listen to the entertainment,” said VIEX president Karen Streeter. “We can educate and entertain.” It takes more than 300 volunteers to put on the annual event. The moment it ends, planning for the next season begins. Streeter says the VIEX’s 14 board members believe agriculture is important to everyday lives and for the next generation because many of the farms on Vancouver Island are disappearing.

Inbrief NDP promises return of emergency program city scene

Site clean-up costs looked at sss Manhao’s former conference centre hotel site is “a space we can use” and clean up, said Nanaimo city councillor Jim Kipp. Nanaimo city council voted unanimously for a staff report into the options and costs to remove fencing and signage around 100 Gordon st. and turn the site into a temporary pay parking lot for tourist buses and RVs. The property was once expected to house a $50-million luxury hotel. it will transfer back into city hands Monday (Aug. 24). “The site is looking a little ragged right now. The tarps have been flopping around down there,” said Kipp. “i think this is appropriate at this time.” Coun. Bill Bestwick, who made the motion, said the intent is to clean up the site so it can have a more “purposeful function” and not be so unsightly.

Hotel project clears rezoning The $100-million hilton hotel project is looking for financiers. insight holdings ltd. is looking for investors in Asia now that it’s secured rezoning for a 35-storey waterfront hotel. “This is a significantly large project and it takes time to get the financing in place because you’re competing with all the other large projects in North America really, probably the world,” said Brian henning, local project spokesman. Mayor Bill McKay discussed a trade mission to China to advance discussion on investment in the hotel.

tom mulcair made campaign stop in Nanaimo.

By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN

New Democratic Party leader Tom Mulcair promised a $9-million annual investment in emergency training and preparedness during a campaign stop in Nanaimo on Tuesday morning. Mulcair kicked off the first of three campaign stops on Vancouver Island at Nanaimo’s Benson Creek Falls Regional Park with Nanaimo firefighters, to pledge the return of the Joint Emergency Preparedness Program under a federal NDP government. T h e p ro g r a m , n o w defunct, began in 1980 and government guidelines show it was aimed at helping communities, provinces and territories be better prepared for emergencies, with dollars contributed for emergency planning, equipment, training and reimbursements for urban search

TAMARA CUNNINGHAM/THe News BUlleTIN

New Democratic Party leader tom mulcair stopped at Benson creek Falls regional Park on tuesday morning to announce a party plan to invest in natural disaster aid.

and rescue. Mulcair said the New Democrats will invest $7 million annually into the program, as well as $2 million each year in emergency training programs, and work with provinces on Disaster Financial Assistance Arrangement.

“The preparedness program was something that was simply peeled back by the Conservatives. They shut down the college where we were doing this training and they’ve completely changed the threshold to get your money in case of emergen-

cies,” Mulcair said, adding these are places the federal government can act immediately. “What we do want to do is sit down and come up with a plan for the future that’s realistic, that takes into account the increasing numbers of wildfires

and floods that we’re facing in Canada as a result of global warming and climate change.” Sheila Malcolmson, NDP candidate for the Nanaimo-Ladysmith riding, said she sees the role of federal government as partnering with local crews and provincial governments to improve the ability to respond in “a time of increased climate change and more firefighting risk.” She said $7 million for the Joint Emergency Preparedness Program is a start. “This is part of our offer to the crews and provinces and we’ll certainly hear from them if we do have the honour of forming government,” Malcolmson said. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Third-party natural gas sellers expected to begin knocking on doors By Karl yu The News BulleTiN

With Fortis B.C.’s Consumer Choice program coming to Vancouver Island, Nanaimo residents could see natural gas marketers phoning or knocking on doors. Customers purchase natural gas from Fortis, but under the program, licensed third-party providers can go door-to-door selling service as well. While the commodity will be delivered and billed by Fortis either way, third parties allow for fixed rates, as natural gas prices are known to be volatile, according to Tannis Braithwaite, execu-

tive director of B.C. Public Interest Advocacy Centre, which acts for low-income residential utility customers. Every three months, the B.C. Utilities Commission establishes the rate Fortis charges. As of Aug. 1, Fortis is charging $2.48 per gigajoule for residential while the eight third-party providers licensed in B.C. charge anywhere from $3.99 to $6.39 per gigajoule on five-year terms. “Fortis can only provide a variable rate, they’re restricted to that,” said Braithwaite. “So some people want to have a fixed rate because they want to know how much their gas is going to cost and the

Quickfacts thirD-Party gaS marketers can only make door-to-door and telephone contact Monday to Friday between 9 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. or between 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends.

program actually started in a time when natural gas prices were increasing quite rapidly. “And so the gas-marketer program allowed people to enter into contracts for between one year and five years, where they would know how much per gigajoule they were going to be

paying for their gas.” Third-party marketers must adhere to a code of conduct set by the utilities commission. According to the conduct document, gas marketers are expected to immediately and truthfully identify themselves and provide proof of licensing and bonding. Sign-up fees are not allowed and marketers aren’t allowed to mislead or pressure the consumer. Michael Allison, spokesman for Fortis, said the utility understands people have concerns and encourages people to note time, name of representative and company name. Fortis B.C. doesn’t sell gas doorto-door, he said.

“If someone does have an issue, they can certainly visit www.fortisbc. com/choice and there are instructions on there if they need to get in touch with us or have the B.C. Utilities Commission get involved,” said Allison. The eight licensed gas marketers are Access Gas Services Inc., Altagas Ltd., Bluestream Energy, Direct Energy, Just Energy, Planet Energy, Summitt Energy B.C. LP and Superior Energy Management. To find out more, please go to www.fortisbc.com. To view the code of conduct, please go to www. bcuc.com/NaturalGasMarketers.aspx. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

No injuries reported in helicopter crash Two people escaped a helicopter crash near Nanaimo without any injuries Tuesday. According to Bill Yearwood, Transport Safety Board of Canada regional manager for aviation investigations, the crash occurred west of Nanaimo. The pilot lost control after takeoff. “The pilot and passenger are OK,” said Yearwood. “We’ve spoken to the pilot. This is a small, two-seater helicopter ... the aircraft can be purchased as a kit and the discussion with the pilot, just to gather data, has revealed that it was clear that there’s no need for us to carry out any in-depth investigation.” Because the helicopter is private, not used for commercial purposes and there were no injuries, Yearwood said the information the pilot shared will only be entered into the safety board’s system.

Councillors say they answer to voters McKay hadn’t supported the adoption then, but said he signed the declaration because it had been the will of council and he believes in it. Thorpe, who put council on notice about his desire for a report on the progress on governance recommendations, said he feels the charter is morally binding and extremely important. “It’s not just about being nice and good behaviour,” he said. “It goes to how we conduct ourselves, how we conduct business as a council; it asks us to be professional and businesslike which I think the public expect and want.” Other councillors, however, disagree with the need to sign a declaration, pointing out

they’ve already made an Oath of Office. Coun. Gord Fuller described the documents, which include the role of a councillor and mayor, as “very group-hug dialogue” and “nicey-nicey.” “I said this to the press before, I don’t have to like anybody on council, but I have to work with them and that I am willing to do,” he said. And when he makes mistakes, he said he’ll work to correct them, but he doesn’t need a document to tell him what he needs to do. Coun. Jim Kipp, who refused to sign, said his actions will be judged by the people who vote him in, and Coun. Bill Bestwick said he’ll continue to perform the functions he

was voted to represent “as best as I can,” with or without the signing of the document. The declaration included a commitment to the roles of a councillor, or mayor, council charter and council-staff relations protocol. It does not include items from a draft procedure bylaw proposed last year, which included a 10-minute block at the beginning of council meetings for people to comment on the agenda, media-only question periods and twominute speaking restrictions.

People need to be educated about agriculture and where their food comes from, and about the animals that we have, Streeter said. Cedar 4-H’s Vivian Woodward, 15, works at the Beban barnyard which will be open to fairgoers this weekend. “It’s important people are introduced to agriculture because

District watering to protect assets

city scene

Liquor stores collect for fire B.C. liquor stores have begun collecting donations from customers to help people evacuated and burned out by forest fires. loss of homes and evacuations in the Rock Creek and Oliver areas prompted the Red Cross to ask government liquor stores for help, as they did in the 2003 forest fires that affected the Okanagan and Thompson regions. Recovering from a disaster is “usually a long and expensive journey,” said Kimberley Nemrava, Red Cross provincial director. Customers are asked to add donations of $2, $5 or any multiple of those to their purchases. Proceeds will be used for blankets, food and water, reuniting residents with family members and assisting with longer-term needs such as replacing work equipment and helping with rent.

CHRIS BUSH/THe NewS BUlleTIN

Thomas Madden, a geotechnical engineer with Golder Associates, collects soil samples from a test dig at Colliery Dam Park earlier this month. City crews and consultants were in the park again this week for more samples and to get a look at the geology of the path for a new lower dam spillway and check for potential archaeological finds.

Search warrant nets cache of stolen goods The execution of a search warrant Monday yielded Nanaimo RCMP a cache of drugs and an estimated $12,000 of stolen property. Following the report of a break-and-enter and theft of a TV from a 94-year-old Nanaimo resident Sunday afternoon, a person of interest was identified, said Nanaimo RCMP. A warrant was issued

YOUR

and executed for a Hecate Street address where the TV was recovered, along with other electronics and a high-end mountain bike. Additionally, street drugs heroin and GHB, cash, and drug trafficking paraphernalia were also confiscated. Investigators estimate the total amount of property recovered is $12,000. Four adults were taken

into custody, including Kerry Chang, 47, who was remanded into custody on charges of possession of stolen property and possession for the purposes of trafficking. His Nanaimo provincial court date is Friday (Aug. 21). A 46-year-old female and two males in their 20s were released and will appear in court at a later date.

Nanaimo District and Dover Bay secondary school fields are being watered, but everything is in compliance with watering restrictions, says the school district. The city is currently on Level 2 water restrictions, with lawn and gardening watering allowed twice per week. Dale Burgos, school district spokesman, said irrigation systems have been turned off to all district gardens, boulevards and non-sports fields, but the multi-use fields are being watered as they are considered assets. “We’ve worked with the City of Nanaimo and our policies on watering [are] similar to what they’re using right now and a lot of it has to do with protecting assets

and a big asset in this school district is our fields that are used by the community,” he said. Nanaimo District Secondary School is being watered by a well system and not the city water line, Burgos said. Rob Zver, president of CUPE 606, which represents district education support workers, said activities such as power washing occurred earlier. “We only power wash the schools that are really bad, but normally it’s before painting ... and they would’ve been done before the end of June, before the second restriction came on, so most of that prep work would’ve been done. If we need to, they can always hold off on getting into some of the areas that they can later on,” said Zver. The Regional District of Nanaimo is at Level 4. Burgos said schools in the regional district are abiding by restrictions. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

EDITORIAL

Fair is more than just rides The Vancouver Island Exhibition isn’t all about riding the Tilt-A-Whirl, winning an oversized plush toy at the midway or rocking out at the Econoline Crush concert. It’s all those things and something more. Nanaimo’s annual fair aims to celebrate the Island’s agricultural heritage and we think it’s important to revisit our rural roots. Seeing local farmers comparing their ginormous potatoes or corn cobs is a fun part of the fair, but it can also serve as a reminder. Should we be concerned about the Island’s food security? Do we know where our food comes from? Do we care? A natural disaster that severs our supply chain isn’t likely, but all the same, it’s a good and worthy goal for the Island to be self-sustaining when it comes to our food security. Because if we aren’t selfsustaining, then we should be thinking about what that means. Much of what was once agricultural land has been repurposed over generations into residential, commercial or industrial property. Farmers have left their land, whether driven by market forces or in search of city life. As the fields have been left fallow, we have lost some of the local knowledge base we once had, and when we don’t use it, we lose it. When a farm fails on Vancouver Island, in the Fraser Valley or farther afield in B.C., it means that more crates of produce need to be shipped from California, Mexico or New Zealand, and we will have to truck, ship or airfreight them over here, whatever the environmental and social costs. It doesn’t have to be that way. We can spend a day at the VIEX and see those ginormous potatoes and corn cobs and whatever else our gardens grow and maybe it can get us thinking. We love rides, plush toys and rock concerts, and they’re all part of a day at the fair. Supporting local agriculture, on the other hand, is something we can try to do every day.

Trudeau has promised an additional $2.6 billion over four years for First Nations education on reserves and accelerated spending on school infrastructure. Mulcair has promised to hold a national inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women. Mulcair and Trudeau both pledge to reverse the Conservative moves to eliminate what’s left of door-to-door mail delivery, and to extend the age of eligibility for the Old Age Security pension from 65 to 67. All of these promises are presented in the most appealing way possible by the parties that promote them, and all involve spending and taxation trade-offs that the parties would prefer not to discuss. A possible dividend from a formal campaign stretching more than two months is that more voters will pay attention to the real issues and actually take the time to cast a ballot. If that happens, and the long decline in voter turnout is reversed, it’s a good investment. ◆ Tom Fletcher is columnist and legislature reporter for Black Press.

Wildlife refuge wrong idea To the Editor,

Re: Park improvement options explored, Aug. 11. I read with dismay of the possibility of a wildlife ‘refuge’ in Maffeo Sutton Park. Unfortunately urbanity and wildlife do not mix well, and it is always at the expense of the animal. Refuge is by definition a place that provides safety and protection, neither of which would be possible in this situation. In this day and age where ani-

mals’ degree of sentience is a known fact, does it not seem wrong to deprive wild animals of any semblance of natural existence to provide entertainment for families? While I think plans for updating and improving Maffeo Sutton Park are great, I can promise you I will not be the only one protesting loudly if this option is seriously considered.

Bicycle lanes help city pedal toward 21st century To the Editor,

Re: Bike lanes unsafe, confusing, Letters, Aug. 11. I live up near Woodgrove Centre and had an appointment in the Quarterway area. On the bicycle it has always been a little awkward after leaving the E&N Trail negotiating the notorious intersection at the old Island Highway and Northfield Road. But what a revelation, once I turned onto Boundary Avenue I found myself cycling a brand-new, dedicated cycle lane. This is a busy corridor what with the hospital and the medical offices. Congratulations Nanaimo, you are entering the 21st century when we will all have to look for more sustainable modes of transportation whenever we can.

Paul Glassen Nanaimo

To the Editor,

Re: Bike lanes unsafe, confusing, Letters, Aug. 11. I depend on my bicycle to get around Nanaimo so I was delighted to see the new separated bike lane on Boundary Avenue. I frequently cycle that route to reach the E&N Trail after riding through Bowen Park. The bike lane makes it so much easier to negotiate that section of the city.

Nanaimo News Bulletin 9

This is a welcome addition to Nanaimo’s bicycle infrastructure, Kudos to all involved in this effort to make it safer to cycle in Nanaimo, and perhaps help some folks realize that there are alternatives to the automobile.

To the Editor,

Re: Bike lanes unsafe, confusing, Letters, Aug. 11. I too must add my voice to all the objections concerning the bike lanes and little islands which are appearing on Boundary and Townsite. Would someone please explain to me how they consider it safe to have a bike lane which must be crossed by a vehicle in order to make a right-hand turn. What if the cyclist is in a blind spot, or is taking a chance by trying to beat the vehicle before said vehicle turns right? I do not like this system at all as I feel it is an accident just waiting to happen. I also feel that if special lanes are going to be made for cyclists, then surely they should have to pay some sort of a fee. Motorists and motorcyclists have to pay insurance and carry licence plates, why not cyclists also? I also find the new parking spots on Boundary Avenue to be extremely dangerous. At first glance, it looks like traffic is waiting for the light to change; it takes a few seconds to realize these cars are parked. If all this is the best our city engineers can come up with, I am not very impressed.

Keith Gaunt Nanaimo

To the Editor,

At last the city is showing some initiative in carrying out the initial stages of the transportation master plan. Cyclists are now seeing dedicated bike lanes in many parts of Nanaimo. One of the newest of these is on Boundary Avenue and takes a leaf from similar lanes in other progressive cities, with the bike lane at times flowing between the curb and a lane for parked cars. Once any cars turning into the staff parking by the emergency access realize that bicyclists have the right of way, this bike lane should provide cyclists with safe passage along Boundary. Perhaps painting the bike lane green to clarify the right of way might be a good idea. Can’t wait to see where the next series of bike lanes appear.

Peter McCaffery Nanaimo Velodrome Association

Something’s been bothering me, and that’s these government-sponsored commercial pot factories. Where I live on Gabriola Island we are looking at one of these mega units at Duke Point in Nanaimo; I believe everything they grow is with hydroponics and if I’m not mistaken all the rest grow the same way. When I confronted one of the consultants of a nearby operation in Duncan and asked why they don’t grow organically in soil, his short answer was “why?” He was called away and I didn’t get to tell him some of the hundreds of reasons why it’s so important to grow everything organically, especially if

it’s intended for medical use. Hydroponics are a very efficient way to grow virtually anything, its fast, economical, and although expensive to set up, a lot less labour intensive. The problems associated with this kind of growing though, is the amount of petroleum-based nutrients and pharmaceuticals used in such high concentrations that would never be allowed in food production, now maybe marijuana isn’t going to be classed as a food anytime soon but one should look at the actual amount of people using this product medically, which normally involves ingesting it.

Second chance Platinum-selling rapper Obie Trice refuses to quit after near-death experience

Michigan rapper Obie Trice performs at the Queen’s on Saturday (Aug. 22) at 8 p.m. Over his career, Trice has worked with some of hip-hop’s biggest names including Dr. Dre, Eminem, Nate Dogg and Timbaland.

“He had left the club, so me and my daughter’s mother decided to go home.” A few minutes after the two merged onto the freeway, a vehicle pulled up behind them and a strange sound followed. “It was just a whistle sound inside the vehicle,” Trice said. “Even with the radio up we could hear it. So we turned the radio down and I looked back and said ‘Oh ... that is a bullet hole.’” What followed was a scene that is all too familiar with many residents

BY NICHOLAS PESCOD THE NEWS BULLETIN

n the final hours of 2005, Michigan rapper Obie Trice found himself in his Range Rover bleeding profusely and near death. Moments earlier, the platinum selling artist had been at a nightclub and was driving home with his girlfriend along the John C. Lodge Freeway in Detroit. “I was going to the club to meet the comedian Mike Epps because I wanted him to be on my album,” Trice said.

of the Motor City. “Right as soon as I said that, five more bullets came flying through the car,” Trice said. One of those bullets struck Trice in the back of the head. Yet he continued driving. “I tried to keep focused on the road and there was blood everywhere,” Trice said. “When I got to a specific area I became unconscious and my truck jumped the curb.” Fortunately for Trice, the police happened to be in the area and rushed to the scene of the crash. “They rolled up on me

right away, smacking my face, keeping me awake and took me to the hospital,” Trice said. He would eventually make a full recovery from the incident, but the bullet that struck him remains lodged inside his head. “It was a blessing that it didn’t hit my daughter’s mother,” Trice said. “It changed my family. It changed my perspective on life.” Fast forward nearly 10 years and Trice has not let the incident hamper his career. The Set Up singer

now has his own record label, Black Market Entertainment and he just released his fourth album, The Hangover earlier this month. “I just wasn’t ready to quit,” Trice said. On Saturday (Aug. 22) Trice will be performing at the Queen’s with Merkules and others as part of his Cheers to The Hangover tour, which promotes his new record. “I am looking forward to it, you know. I always love B.C.,” Trice said. “I love the looks out there. It’s real peaceful.”

Right as soon as I said that, five more bullets came flying through the car.

VANCOUVER ISLAND author to speak at the Nanaimo North Library tonight. By Nicholas Pescod The News BuLLeTiN

After more than three decades of searching, Claire Hitchon finally found what she was looking for: her biological family. “It is a very wild ride,” Hitchon said. “The reunion part of meeting your biological family is an emotional roller coaster that you cannot really prepare for.” The journey to finding her biological family was a long, hard road, filled with years of questions, abuse and troubles. “I had grown up as an only child in an abusive relationship,” Hitchon said. “It was a very difficult childhood.” Hitchon has documented her struggles over the years in two books, Finding Heart Horse and The Wall of Secrets. “In the books there is a lot of trauma,” Hitchon said. “There is rapes, there are beatings, there is drug abuse, there is prison, there are hor-

rific things.” On Thursday (Aug. 20) Hitchon, who now lives on Vancouver Island, will be sharing her experiences at the Nanaimo North Library, 6250 Hammond Bay Rd., at 6:30 p.m. Finding Heart Horse was released in 2013 and is the first installment in a series of memoirs by Hitchon. The book is about Hitchon’s journey to find something she has always wanted. The memoir also discusses Hitchon’s experiences from being an adopted child searching for an identity to living on the streets in Toronto’s Yorkville district. The second installment is The Wall of Secrets, which was

Birth of daughter motivated rapper From /10

The Hangover is the Michigan native’s first record since 2012. The album contains 14 tracks and features guest artists Young Buck, Estelle and others. “It is a pure hip-hop album. I got some club bangers on there. It brings that essence of the hiphop culture back,” Trice said. His pathway into the rap and hip-hop world began when he was a young boy. He first started singing into a karaoke

machine and became introduced to the hip-hop world by his older brother. “I fell in love with the culture,” Trice said. By the time he was a teenager, Trice was attending rap battle sessions hosted by D12’s Proof at the famous Hip Hop Shop in Detroit. “That was my way of going to play basketball or hitting the YMCA or just getting my recreation on,” Trice said. He explained that it was the birth of his

daughter in 1998 that motivated him to get serious with his music career. “When you have that first child it changes your outlook on things. I didn’t even believe that I would be around, let alone have a beautiful daughter,” Trice said. “I started focusing on the music and taking my hustle money and the things I was doing on the street and putting it into the studio.” At the time of the shooting, Trice was

in the prime of his career. Two years earlier he rose to fame after releasing his platinum selling debut album, Cheers, which featured some of the industry’s biggest names such as Dr. Dre and Eminem. Despite growing up in Detroit, Trice never imagined being gunned down, especially in his hometown. “I was a little surprised that it happened when I was at the height of my career and that it

happened in my own city,” Trice said. The Detroit native is grateful to be alive and loves being able to perform to his fans on a nightly basis. “Being in those intimate types of atmospheres where the actual fans know your lyrics verbatim, that is like winning a championship every night,” he said. Trice performs at 8 p.m. Tickets are $30. For more information, please visit http://on.fb. me/1OOjteu. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Cemetery tour offered Residents of the Harbour City will have an opportunity to learn about one of Nanaimo’s oldest cemeteries. On Thursday (Aug. 20) the Nanaimo Museum will be giving a guided tour of the Wellington Cemetery. The cemetery, located on Ledgerwood Road in the north part of the city, was built in the late 1800s and is the final resting place for many of the city’s coal miners and first settlers. The museum tour will touch on some of the stories of those who are buried at the cemetery. The tour costs $10. For more information and to register, please call 250-753-1821 or visit www.nanaimomuseum.com.

Sections of Parkway Trail made safer with upgrades Sections of the Parkway Trail received a facelift to make a more accessible and safer pathway for residents. Paving crews were hard at work revamping the 1.4-kilometre asphalt section between East Wellington and Northfield roads

because tree roots were pushing through the trail. To ensure the project was environmentally responsible, the old asphalt was removed and reused by mixing it with the mulched tree roots to resurface the trail. The trail was also widened by

five centimetres and has a halfmetre shoulder for more stability. The Parkway Trail is a multiuse pathway that extends 22 kilometres and was built by the City of Nanaimo with participation from the Ministry of Trans-

portation and financial support from the Nanaimo Rotary Daybreak and Nanaimo Rotary Club. For more information, please go to www.nanaimo.ca and click on the parks, recreation and environment tab. editor@nanaimobulletin.com

Inbrief city scene

Store marks 100th year A century of Overwaitea Food Group’s history is rolling into town Sunday (Aug. 23) to celebrate the company’s 100th birthday. The Overwaitea Food Group’s Travelling Road Show will include interactive displays with a historical timeline, artifacts, an exhibit showcasing the company’s retail innovations, use of technology and the economic impact Overwaitea has had in the communities it’s served during the past 100 years. The road show takes place at the Save-On-Foods location at Country Club Centre, noon to 4 p.m. Customers will also have the opportunity to view a 1915 Model T, which will be placed in front of a replica of the original Overwaitea store front. The business started in 1915 in New Westminster. In 1918, Nanaimo became the third community to welcome an Overwaitea store.

Sales support kids’ camp Pirate Pak Day raised a bountiful chest of plunder to help send kids and young adults with life-threatening illnesses and chronic disabilities to summer camp. The fundraising event, held annually by White Spot restaurants since 2008, raised $92,358 and sold a recordbreaking 46,179 Pirate Paks, up 17 per cent from last year. This year’s top-selling Pirate Pak matey was Langley’s Willowbrook location. The summer camp is held at the Zajac Ranch for Children in Mission. Since the initiative began, White Spot has raised $439,530 with the support of customers, and provided the opportunity for more than 200 youths to enjoy the summer camp experience.

Aggressive Outlander bucks the power trend WHISTLER – The Mitsubishi Outlander is Inside The Outlander competes with the a bit of an anomaly in the compact utility Nissan Rogue and Kia Sorento for market. buyers wanting a seven-passenger, While most manufacturers sell three-row compact crossover. Unlike 4-cylinder or turbocharged 4-cylinder the 4-cylinder Nissan, the Outlander versions in great number, it’s the V6 only offers seating for seven passengers equipped Outlander that is the best in the V6 models, so the Sorento is the seller here in Canada, totally against closest competitor. Both share roughly the current trend. It might be that the It is good to the same dimensions too. The updates previous V6 version was more refined, to the back seats include a much easier quieter and had a conventional 6-speed see that Mitsubishi is moving back to to fold second row of seats and the automatic transmission, compared to third row is still best for small children the rather loud, lacklustre 4-cylinder a more aggressive and only for shorter trips. The other model. Well, for 2016 Mitsubishi wants looking utility changes are the new thicker steering to build on the success of the V6 vehicle. wheel with chrome trim around the model and try to sell more 4-cylinder centre and new switches. The display versions by paying attention to styling, Zack Spencer audio screen has been updated to refinement and drivability. provide redundant tabs and switches Looks around the outside; this treatment has also been used The last update for the Outlander was just two on navigation-equipped cars. Overall the cabin is well years ago and it is good to see that Mitsubishi is designed and roomy especially for the first two rows moving back to a more aggressive looking utility of seats. 4-cylinder models get a useful storage area vehicle. Not all small crossovers need to look under the rear cargo floor, the space used to store the aggressive but the previous model was so devoid third row seats in V6 equipped models. of personality, it blended into the background. The Drive updated 2016 model comes with a whole new front Another reason that Canadians opted for the V6 grille treatment, front pumper, even available LED models in the previous version was the much better headlamps and tail lamps. Mitsubishi might be driving experience, something that needed, and was, accused of borrowing from the recent Lexus front improved for 2016 4-cylinder trim levels. There is design; the bold chrome accents do look similar to new acoustic glass to remove road and wind noise, the Lexus Spindle grille. Along the lower part of the more insulation between the cabin and the engine doors is a metallic trim piece that helps break up the compartment and attention paid to the continuously body. The top GT trim is the one that gets standard variable transmission (CVT). Mitsubishi claims that 18-inch wheels but they can be ordered on lower the updates to the 4-cylinder transmission reduce trim levels as an option. Same for the power tailgate, friction and the wider range of available ratios helps it is reserved for the top V6 GT trim.

this vehicle make a run to 100km/h one second faster than the previous 4-cylinder. The 166hp 2.4L 4-cylinder engine has been carried over but the improvements made to this model have transformed this Outlander. It has gone from a rough and ready vehicle to a refined, quiet and pleasurable place to spend time. The 224hp 3.0L V6 is still the one to get if you want to tow up to 3500lbs. and the inclusion of a conventional 6-speed automatic makes driving a more predictable experience but this version felt heavier and didn’t handle nearly as well as the 4-cylinder. Verdict The 2016 Outlander starts $25,998 for a FWD 4-cylinder model. The base 4-cylinder AWD starts at $27,998. All V6 equipped Outlanders come standard with AWD and 7-passenger seating and the starting price is $31,198. The most expensive GT trim tops out at $38,498. Mitsubishi is introducing a new trim for the 2016 model year that includes a lot of the higher end features found in the V6 but offer it in a 4-cylinder model. It is the ES Touring with a power sunroof, 18-inch wheels, display audio, satellite radio and few other goodies and it starts just under $30,000. Mitsubishi hopes this model, along with the other improvements to the vehicles refinement will win new buyers over. The Outlander competes with a vast field of small utility vehicle but the 7-pasenger V6 offer is what sets it apart; that and the impressive 10-year warranty. The Lowdown Power: 166hphp 2.4L or 224hp 3.0L V6 Fill-up: 9.9L/8.1L/100km (city/highway 4-cylinder) Sticker price: $25,998-$38,498

If you attend Dodge muscle cars will be available next year in plum paint

one epicurean event this year, make sure they are the 60 at Savour Cowichan Festival.

Dodge cars pretty in plum Since 1970, Plum Crazy has been one of the most desired paint colours for the Dodge Challenger and Charger. Today, the enthusiast demand for this heritage hue is stronger than ever – as the signature paint colour is directly associated with high collectability and the famed ‘Mopar-or-nocar’ legacy. Add in the widest performance range ever for the 2016 Challenger and

By Keith Morgan

Back for a limited-production run, iconic Plum Crazy exterior paint will be made available on 2016 Dodge Challenger and Charger models. “With our strongest muscle-car arsenal ever, we knew it was time to reach into our Dodge paint code archive,” said Tim Kuniskis, president and chief executive officer of Dodge Brand and SRT Brand, FCA, North America. “[We will] offer our highperformance R/T Scat Pack and SRT Hellcat models in one of the most iconic exterior colors of all time.” Earmarked for the eyecatching paint job are the 707-horsepower SRT Hellcat models and 485-horsepower naturally aspirated R/T Scat Pack models.

Charger, and there hasn’t been a better time to paint the Dodge brand’s iconic muscle car arsenal in the nostalgic colour. Limited edition models and limited production paint colours add collectability, accounting for less than 11 per cent of the entire global production of Dodge Charger and Challenger to date.

The Savour Cowichan Festival, September 25th through October 4th in the beautiful Cowichan Valley.

Nanaimo News Bulletin Thursday, August 20, 2015

www.nanaimobulletin.com

Beefs & bouquets BOUQUET To Dr. Vizzers at Port Place Medical Clinic, who stayed on late because the lineup for walk-ins was enormous. Also thank you to all the staff. I am sure more than one of you had to work extra hard that day. BEEF Because one cannot get a permanent family doctor in Nanaimo and our population is growing. Why? BOUQUET To Island Veterinary Hospital for its generosity at the recent Paws for Pets event at the SPCA. A special thanks to Kim for her kind reassurance. BEEF To the person complaining about early-morning whistlers and walkers. Just because you are grumpy and don’t want to get up and walk doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy someone who does. BOUQUET To the Realty Executives who display honesty and integrity by posting current photos of their faces, unlike other realtors who continue to use outdated images. BEEF To young parents who don’t realize their children are citizens of Nanaimo too and deserve respect and kindness. When they can’t stand up for themselves, small children are bullied. BOUQUET To Courtney of the Nanaimo White Rapids for being the best coach any child could ask for. The Galiano kids were so very fortunate to have you and Nyree. You go above and beyond what is expected with extra fun outings and amazing scrapbooks for each child. BEEF To the big stores for selling their merchandise using our young people in their underwear and at times in suggestive poses. These flyers are sent out without much thought about young families observing such advertising. BOUQUET To the News Bulletin. Beefs and Bouquets are a great venue for us to speak out when no one listens.

BEEF To the person who dumped coffee on my windshield because I had parked crooked. A simple note would have sufficed. People make mistakes. I would love to find you and charge you with vandalism. BOUQUET To the Kiwanis Club of Nanaimo Sunrisers for hosting a fabulous Bullhead Derby at Brechin Boat Ramp and providing fishing gear, free lunch and prizes for the children. BEEF To my neighbour who is constantly using his gas leaf blower. We have to close our doors in this heat due to the noise. Please by a rake and broom; your neighbours would be most thankful. BOUQUET To animal services who have to pick up rotting dead deer because their contract does not include work on weekends. BEEF To Premier Christy Clark for continually playing that old, worn-out record of the LNG’s greatest hits. It’s now time to move on and play a CD with more songs with substance.

BEEF To the bizarre design for parking and bike lanes on Boundary Avenue. You can’t see the traffic when you pull out from a side road. BOUQUET To Sam in the computer department at Staples in Brooks Landing. He went above and beyond in helping a couple of seniors with their computer upgrades. BEEF To stores for pricing items as if we are still using pennies. How about getting real and ending prices in zero or five cents instead of eight or nine? BOUQUET To the guy in the black Mustang who paid for our coffee at Tim Hortons North Town Centre. Your kind gesture brightened our day. BEEF To those who don’t appreciate hardworking mechanics who help with your car. When giving advice, it is their professional opinion. Don’t be ignorant then expect them to fix your problems with a smile.

BOUQUET To everyone who helped when my nine-year-old daughter collapsed from the heat at the Bowen Road Farmers Market. She’s better now. BEEF To the doctor who is so busy ‘educating’ his patients that he doesn’t actually give them the time to explain what ails them. If you’re going to enforce a 10-minute visit time then allow us the full 10 minutes we’re paying for and listen. BOUQUET To Manda and Headliners for having a great musical summer camp for kids. Manda is an awesome teacher and did wonders for our daughter’s confidence. A great summer memory for our daughter. BEEF To the street marking department. On Boundary Road, the new lines are very confusing and dangerous for bikers and cars parked in the most ridiculous places. BOUQUET To the person who turned in my sister-in-law’s purse at Value Village. She was on holidays and visiting. BEEF To the waterfront house on Long Lake with the large emerald green lawn whose sensor dock sprinklers turn on if you paddle past, shooting water into the lake. Is this why I let my lawn turn brown, so you can waste water needlessly? BOUQUET To the hikers who refrain from littering on Vancouver Island’s trails.

BOUQUET To Francis, a very nice man in front of us in the queue, who bought our three movie tickets unknowingly to us – what a lovely gesture and surprise for us.

BEEF To that Minnesota dentist who killed Cecil the lion. You’re nothing but a primitive wannabe cave he-man.

Address ________________________________________________________________________ Phone No ______________________________________________________________________

BOUQUET To drivers approaching crosswalkers on Estevan Road. I feel much safer these days. Some still pass too close behind us.

KEVIN BOGETTI SMITH/TEAM B.C.

Bellisle was a strong opponent, but wasn’t technically sound, said Fiandor. “I just needed to control her and then I could throw her after that…” said the Nanaimo Judo Club member. “She started to panic once I grabbed her arm, because she couldn’t do anything. She got off-balance and I threw

rite from the get-go. “It was some good calibre of ball, they were all pretty good, hardfought matches…” said Marsh. “After the first few round-robin games, winning all those games, we knew that we could have a chance at taking the tournament.” He had individual success, pitching in two games and giving up one hit and no runs over 4 1/3 innings. He also batted in two games,

Nanaimo athletes made it to the podium, and some made it to the very top. Ten locals competed at the Western Canada Summer Games this month at Wood Buffalo, Alta. Some of the best results from Nanaimo athletes came on the judo mats. Alicia Fiandor was a double gold medallist, winning her 57-kilogram division and also helping B.C. win the team division. Vanessa Kruger also won gold in team judo and a silver in her 48kg division. Another double gold medallist was track athlete Andrew deGroot, who won the 400-metre race and also the 4x400m relay. In team sports, Jayden Marsh helped B.C. to gold in baseball, Sophie Weaver was part of B.C.’s gold-medalwinning soccer team, Lantzville’s Hailey Kjaer and Team B.C. took gold on the softball diamond, and Ryan MacDonald and Alex Staniforth helped B.C. to gold in basketball. The judoka Fiandor had to show her grit to win her individual gold medal. She lost her opening bout 5-0 to Saskatchewan’s Miranda Bellisle, but earned the right to

going 1-for-2 both times. “Pitching in those games that I pitched in, it was really good to pitch against those better hitters and have such success,” Marsh said. It was a great feeling, he said, when Saskatchewan grounded out and Team B.C. won the final 7-3. The champs charged the mound and soaked in the cheers. “The crowds that came out to the Western Canada Summer Games were awesome,” Marsh said. “Having all those other B.C. athletes come out and cheer you on was great.” The Games were held Aug. 7-16.

One half of complete football was enough for the V.I. Raiders to win their last game, but they might need more to win again. Nanaimo’s B.C. Football Conference team plays a rematch against the Kamloops Broncos on Saturday (Aug. 15), this time in the Interior. The teams met Saturday at Caledonia Park and V.I. came back from a 20-7 deficit to win 35-26. “We’ve got to come out of the gate right away focused and ready to go,” said Liam O’Brien, Raiders quarterback. “It kind of took us awhile to warm up last game and we can’t really afford to keep doing that.” Jerome Erdman, Raiders coach, said “nobody really knows” why a team starts a game slowly. “If we did, we’d make sure it never happened…” he said. “We’ve just got to instill in them, continue with the hard work ethic, start off hungry. “[The Broncos] are going to be coming after us. This is a huge game.” Kamloops’ quarterback Stephen Schuweiler set a B.C. record with 35 completions last week, and the Raiders don’t expect to entirely shut down the Broncos’ passing game.

A local jiu-jitsu athlete persevered and won gold at a tournament this month. Cory Burton of Island Top Team was able to place first in his white belt lightweight division at the Roots Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Tournament in Richmond on Aug. 8. Burton won his opening match with a “lightning quick cross choke,” but after a later win in the semifinals, became ill and cramped, said Island Top Team instructor Robert Biernacki in a press release. “I asked him if we wanted to forfeit the final, but he insisted on finishing the competition … showing incredible heart,” Biernacki said. Facing a tough opponent, Burton was able to escape a shoulder lock and finish the match via a triangle choke. Also at the tournament, Island Top Team’s Shane Malone dominated the opposition to take gold in his heavyweight purple belt division.

Pro wrestling invades VIEX I The wrestling ring will be full to bursting this weekend at the VIEX. Pro wrestling is taking place all three days of the Vancouver Island Exhibition this Friday through Sunday (Aug. 21-23) at Beban Park. Vancouver Island Pro Wrestling will be partnering with Pure Wrestling Association to put together the three cards. It’s the second year in a row that pro wrestling has invaded the VIEX. “It does help broaden our spectrum and promote Vancouver Island Pro Wrestling and PWA and get them out to another group of people, anybody that hasn’t seen it before that might be interested,” said Brent LaPlante, one of the organizers. There’s bound to be a lot of roughhousing in the ring and trash talking on the mike, but LaPlante said it’s PG sort of stuff. “We’re pretty open and family friendly in general,” he said.

“ We p r i d e o u r selves on that and [performing at the fair] doesn’t really change what we do in the ring.” F r i d a y n i g h t ’s action is the King of the Ex tournament, w h e re N a n a i m o wrestler B.J. Laredo will look to defend his crown. “Obviously the plan is to repeat and be the first-ever twotime King of the Ex,” said Laredo. Saturday is a night of champions, as two title belts will be on the line. The PWA B.C. champion Krofton will defend against Nanaimo’s Scott Steel and PWA Pure Violence champ Hardcore Hick will defend against Lak Siddartha. The Sunday afternoon show will be headlined by Krofton versus Hick and Cremator Von Slasher and others are also on the card. All three shows will feature a women’s match between Riea Von Slasher and Bambi Hall. Friday and Saturday’s action starts at 6 p.m. and Sunday’s show is at 2 p.m. The only admission charge is VIEX general admission. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Nanaimo News Bulletin 33

“You’ve got to look at what type of passes they completed,” Erdman said. “Our philosophy this year has been bend but don’t break.” He said his team will try to put more pressure on the Broncos’ QB this week. Offensively, the Raiders will look for execution. Erdman said the offensive game plan was pretty much the same in the first half and the second half last week, it was just that the players started to make the plays work.

O’Brien said the Raiders showed in that second half who they really are. “I think [we’re] going to put up some points and gain momentum,” he said. The road trip is the longest of the season so far, so V.I. faces the challenge of a long travel day to an away venue. But it’s also time to bond and to go over the game plan, the coach said. “I’m not looking at [the road trip] as a bad thing, I’m looking at it as an exciting thing,” Erdman said. “It’ll be a change of pace for us.” sports@nanaimobulletin.com
