Revisiting water deal Lantzville’s top priority
Crime stoppers
Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman and Crime Stoppers coordinator, sees Crime Stoppers relying almost solely on e-mailed and texted tips in the future, which allows for two-way communication between the organization and tipsters to gather information for police to follow up.

Management agreement for Mt. Benson park nears completion BY KARL YU THE NEWS BULLETIN
An agreement between the Regional District of Nanaimo and the Nanaimo and Area Land Trust for Mount Benson Regional Park is nearly complete. The two entered into a contribution agreement in February 2006. The park was purchased by the regional district for $950,000, with the land trust providing 50 per cent, or $475,000. A management plan for the park was also developed. Gail Adrienne, land trust
executive director, said based on the agreement, the regional district would take title to the property and the land trust would hold the covenant. “The first part of that item, which is the RDN’s review of, and ... approval of the conservation covenant that NALT staff and the RDN staff have been working on for more than eight years, that is ready now for the RDN board to give its approval,” Adrienne said. While the regional district board gave approval at a Tuesday night meet-
ing, final approval is anticipated at a Jan. 26 regular meeting. Following final approval, the regional district and land trust will move to register Section 219 Conservation Covenant on title with the Land Title and Survey Authority of B.C. and the 2006 contribution agreement will be terminated, as the requirements have been fulfilled, said Tom Osborne, regional district general manager of recreation and parks. Going forward, Osborne said the regional district will manage the park as per
the park management plan. The plan identifies key items in regards to how the park will be managed over the next 10 years, including how trails will be maintained, upgraded and how the park is used, he said. “It also speaks of maintaining or decommissioning trails as well that aren’t in line with the regional park. “It’s basically fulfilling all the direction of the management plan and the RDN will work to be consistent with that management plan,” said Osborne.

Fine tuning a water supply deal with the City of Nanaimo is top of list for Lantzville’s new council. The District of Lantzville will seek revisions to a water supply agreement with Nanaimo in the next five months, according to a list of strategic priorities recently released by the district. Lantzville politicians, four elected last summer, revised strategic priorities for the term in late December, with revisions ranked at the top, followed by communication, engagement and transparency and an economic development strategy. The district has long grappled with the question of where to get additional water. Some private wells are contaminated and limited water has been blamed for the district’s stagnant growth. In 2005 it signed a memorandum of understanding with Nanaimo and nine years later inked a supply deal that would allow water to be piped to 225 homes in upper Lantzville at a $1.3-million connection cost. It also allowed for 50 new development hookups each year and the potential for another 211 homes on private wells to connect in the future. But while an agreement with Nanaimo “in some form” is recognized as advantageous, there are challenges, according to Lantzville Mayor Colin Haime, who sees the need for the 50 new development connections to instead go to existing residents, and changed wording in section 14 of the deal on capital costs for Nanaimo’s future water system.

Text messaging improves tips
I
CrimE StoppErS program sees better information gathered with technology. By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN
Text messages are the latest arrows in the quiver police can draw from to fight crime. In 2015, Nanaimo and District Crime Stoppers added texting to the ways tips can be submitted and while the technology hasn’t sent tip numbers soaring – 548 tips were made to Nanaimo Crime Stoppers in 2015 versus 513 in 2014 – tipping online has vastly improved the quality of information police can follow up. Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman and Nanaimo and District Crime Stoppers coordinator, said tips from smartphones, laptops and tablets allow for two-way dialogue between Crime Stoppers and tipsters. “Right there, the information taker can acknowledge the tip and say, ‘Can you supply any further information on this guy?’” O’Brien said. “They can submit electroni-
cally, they get an alias and they can go to a secure login and they can send and receive e-mails.” The more information police get, the better the odds of solving outstanding cases.
“
There is no anonymous venue for people to report to the authorities except Crime stoppers. “I would say within five years people won’t be telephoning tips in because the problem with that is the call taker has no way of communicating with the tipster unless they call in again,” O’Brien said. “It’s very frustrating.” Ensuring the ano-

nymity of the tipster has always been crucial to Crime Stoppers’ success. To protect identities, tipsters are instructed how to erase communications with Crime Stoppers and Crime Stoppers software scrubs IP addresses off tipsters’ communication devices. But such security leaves Crime Stoppers with little in the way of bragging rights. “One day the newspaper reports some heinous crime has been committed in your community and police have no suspects and no leads and the next day, miraculously, it’s solved and the bad guy’s in jail,” said Chuck Campbell, Nanaimo and District Crime Stoppers president. “What I tell people is, ‘Think Crime Stoppers.’” Crime Stoppers’ security methods are standardized in the 40 countries in which it operates and Crime Stoppers International is taking a broader role in fighting transnational crime. “Human trafficking will be a big-ticket item in the Crime Stoppers arena over

one, but there’s no requirement for him to do so ... the way things are structured under the Indian Act and the governance parameters is that the chief only has a tie-breaking vote, otherwise the councillors actually vote and carry the day,” said Lewis. He likened the chiefcouncillor to a chairman. “Much in the same way you have the chairman of the board, or the president has the ability to go out and negotiate arrangements and do deals and make decisions and bring them back to his board or council for ratification and so how that plays out ... is really dependent on the culture of the community,” Lewis said. Some communities have robust chiefs out in front, leading the nation, while others work “holistically” with their councils, said Lewis. Edwards was contacted for comment, but did not respond. Band council’s twoyear term begins immediately, with the next election in 2018.

Savings offered for low incomes
I
CoStS riSE for health, utilities. By Chris Bush The News bulleTiN
Living keeps getting more expensive, but there are ways to pinch pennies on premiums. As of New Year’s Day, B.C.’s Medical Services Plan premiums were hiked four per cent. Individuals earning more than $30,000 annually now pay $900 a year for MSP coverage. A family of two pays $1,632 per year and a family of three, $1,800. Under B.C.’s Regular Premium Assistance program, rates are adjusted downward for lower income groups and singles, with families with net incomes less than $22,000 paying nothing. Just 39 per cent of seniors are aware of the Regular Premium Assistance program. Isobel Mackenzie, B.C.’s seniors advo-
c a t e , u rg e s l o w income seniors to check eligibility to receive subsidies for MSP premiums. “Some seniors are paying $900 per year for their MSP and many may qualify for a full or partial subsidy of this amount,” Mackenzie said in a press release last week. “Seniors have one of the lowest median incomes and would likely benefit the most from MSP Premium Assistance. Many are not aware that they qualify.” MSP increases only apply to people with annual incomes greater than $30,000, but remain at 2015 rates for lowerincome earners. Relief from rising monthly living costs can be found elsewhere, too. For tis and B.C. Hydro don’t offer discounts for gas and electricity, but do provide free energysaving kits to lowincome households that can help lower energy bills. B.C. Housing offers
subsidized housing and rental assistance programs for low-income families, seniors, people with disabilities, refugees and refugee status applicants. Nanaimo Regional Transit System offers bus fare discounts for seniors, youths and university students. Children under five ride for free. B.C. Ferries offers discounts for seniors, disabled people and students through its B.C. Resident Assistance Program. Surviving in Nanaimo is a 20-page brochure listing free and discounted services for seniors, youths, First Nations, and people with addictions or disabilities. “This is a guide that we produce,” said John Horn, city social planner. “It’s called a guide to local agencies or services, but these are all free [or] low-cost services.” Surviving in Nanaimo directs readers to food, household goods, community resources, counsel-

Talks won’t jeopardize deal From /1
“The original goal of even entering into discussions with Nanaimo was to secure water for existing residents first,” said Haime. He doesn’t believe revisiting the agreement will put the document in jeopardy. Even with its flaws, it’s a signed agreement, he said. Neither does he anticipate the agreement will be used right away with Lantzville looking at the possibility to expand its connections through improvements to its own infrastructure. Coun. Bob Colclough, who’d like to see the same revisions, said Nanaimo will either say yes
or no to the changes, and if it’s no, the agreement will stay the way it is. Neither change has an effect on the City of Nanaimo, said Colclough, who believes the reference to connections for new development was just an error and more likely means to say it was for existing residents and “not for new development.” Nanaimo Mayor Bill McKay wasn’t previously aware Lantzville wanted revisions to the agreement and couldn’t say what his council’s appetite would be. “Let’s let them start the conversation and we’ll see what they have to say,” McKay said. news@nanaimobulletin.com

A web camera is out of the picture for Colliery Dam Park. Nanaimo city council decided against installing a camera at lower Colliery Dam Park during an open meeting Monday, with concerns about cost and buy-in from the public. Councillors asked staff in December to look into options, timelines and costs for a 24-hour web camera so people could view a multimillion-dollar spillway construction project from home. A staff report shows a temporary, wide-angle camera that refreshes static images every 10-15 seconds, similar to one that shows B.C. Ferries terminal conditions, would cost an estimated $3,000, plus $900 annually to operate. Coun. Jim Kipp called it a waste of money and Coun. Diane Brennan said while she hasn’t seen members of the public suggesting it’s a good idea or a good expense, she’s seen many who’ve said it’s not. Coun. Wendy Pratt said she was not convinced a camera would make much difference with the city already showing daily images of site progress on its website, adding she wouldn’t mind if the city looked at moving tape at the site to allow people closer to the work. Coun. Bill Yoachim was the only councillor in favour of the webcam. Mayor Bill McKay was absent.

Donation supports tuition waiver program Vancouver Island University says it will benefit from a $500,000 donation from The Joyce Foundation. The money will aid the Youth in Care Tuition Waiver program and will go toward bursaries for ongoing support of VIU students in the Youth in Care Tuition Waiver program who are over the age of 24, according to a press release. The Youth in Care Tuition Waiver program was started in 2013 by the university and it waives tuition for students who have grown up in the province’s
care system. Youths living in care lose the majority of B.C. government support when they reach the age of 19, with only a few programs continuing until the age of 24, according to the university. In addition to the tuition waiver, the university also has bursaries to further assist former youths in care with books, supplies, daycare, rent and food. The Joyce Foundation is the philanthropic foundation of Ronald V. Joyce, one of the investors of the first Tim Hortons doughnut shop.

Police charge former resident Abbotsford Major Crimes Unit investigators have arrested a man, formerly from Nanaimo, in a sexual assault cold case. James Allen Redden, 48, has been charged with sexual assault, unlawful confinement and uttering threats. Police allege Redden sexually assaulted, choked and made a death threat to a woman who was walking to her car after leaving an outdoor party in the 37200 block of Ward Road in Abbotsford Aug. 7, 1999. The case was still open in December 2013 when police sent previously seized clothing exhibits for DNA analysis. A suspect was discovered in early 2014 when a DNA profile was discovered. Redden was arrested in Ontario May 21, said Const. Ian MacDonald, Abbotsford Police Department spokesman, in an e-mail to the News Bulletin, and charges were formally sworn against Redden on Dec. 17. MacDonald said part of the delay in bringing forward charges was due to changes in forensic science and the time required to obtain a sample and ultimately match it to a suspect. Redden was acquitted in 2008 of sexual assault with a weapon and uttering threats in a case where a woman was sexually assaulted and threatened with death in a ditch south of Nanaimo in November 1995.

EDITORIAL
Province stands against pipeline Those who believe an increase in tankers on the Salish Sea is something to be avoided at all costs have a government in their corner and it’s not the one they might expect. The B.C. Liberals have been known for their free-enterprise feel, a friend of industry and natural-resource extraction. Premier Christy Clark is all in when it comes to liquid natural gas extraction, production and transport, for example. This week, the provincial government publicly announced it could not support Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain expansion project that would twin the line bringing heavy oil from Alberta to Burnaby, exponentially increasing the amount of tankers in the Strait of Georgia. In 2012 the province presented five requirements it said it needed filled before it would support any heavy-oil pipelines. One of them was the need for what it called “world-leading” marine oil spill response, prevention and recovery systems. On Monday, a Ministry of Environment press release suggested that Kinder Morgan has not satisfied that requirement. “The company has not provided enough information around its proposed spill prevention and response for the province to determine if it would use a world leading spills regime,” the release stated. “Because of this, the province is unable to support the project at this time, based on the evidence submitted.” While Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been very public about his opposition to the Northern Gateway pipeline proposal, he has been vague about his stance on Kinder Morgan, although when pressed he has talked about the need to get Canada’s goods to market, a statement some have taken as a show of support for the Trans Mountain plan. It will be interesting to see if these governments end up in a battle where they find themselves on unfamiliar sidelines.

Fireworks make for noisy New Year’s Eve To the Editor,
children are frightened of the noise and woken from sleep, never mind all the adults whose sleep is disrupted, many of them shift workers. Fireworks don’t do much for the well-being of wildlife nor fire prevention. It is suggested the regional district directors revisit the fireworks exemption and institute some regulations. It is suggested it be restricted to ‘hallmark events’ such as New Year’s Eve. No one needs to play with it for more than 15 minutes prior to midnight
and 15 minutes after. If one has that much money to ‘burn,’ try donating it to the food bank or your favourite charity. Halloween, well let’s keep it from 7-8 p.m. It may have been a rural tradition to play with fireworks at any time of the year, but times have changed. Might I suggest the district directors have a look at restricting fireworks so that everyone can have a little peace and quiet and keep pets and humans safe.

Climate change deniers spread misinformation To the Editor,
Re: Global warming trend could actually be slowing down, Letters, Jan. 5. The fossil fuel industries funnel a lot of funds to front groups that deny our responsibility for climate change. Climate deniers get their info from such groups, certainly not from peerreviewed scientific reports. According to The Guardian, Exxon Inc., a former funder of these groups, knew in 1981 that the burning of fossil fuels leads to climate change – but subsequently spent $30 million to convince us otherwise. It was bad enough that tobacco companies mislead the public about the dangers of their product, killing many thousands of people. It is quite another that the same kind of propaganda may very likely lead to the death of millions of people and enormous damage to both world economies and planetary health. That this misinformation is still being published in papers such as
the Nanaimo News Bulletin is testament not to ‘journalistic neutrality’ but to the power of corporate-backed PR companies manipulating wellmeaning folk to spread their misinformation, both locally and elsewhere.
Ian Gartshore Nanaimo
To the Editor,
During a recent U.S. Senate hearing, the head honcho of the Sierra Club repeatedly stated that 97 per cent of scientists believed that the Earth was warming. The chair of the committee stated that according to satellite-gathered statistics, the Earth had in fact not shown any temperature increase over the past 18 years. Another report claims that while the Arctic is shedding ice at an alarming rate, the Antarctic ice is actually increasing. It seems that the scientific community is as polarized on environmental opinions as the U.S. population is on politics. Opinions are a dime a dozen

Happy New Year. Mine would have been a tad quieter and more pleasant had there not been two hours of fireworks going on in Area A of the regional district. Fireworks are not a harmless fun-filled family event. They cause many pets to quiver in terror, bolt from their homes and subsequently get lost or killed. People with PTSD don’t do well with fireworks, especially if it is unscheduled and unadvertised. Those with migraines don’t do any better. Many small

while actual facts are shaded according to who is quoting them – a clear case of the old adage ‘Don’t confuse me with facts when my mind is made up.’ Political correctness now dictates that global warming is a fact and anyone disagreeing with this position is now denigrated as a ‘denier.’ I truly wish I knew just what the actual situation was. There is no doubt that the world is currently experiencing episodes of extreme weather in many corners of the globe. As of now I have yet to see any viable theories to explain such events. It is my hope that these lifethreatening weather-related phenomena will be the prioritized subject of serious study and that in due course a believable explanation will be forthcoming, and if it’s not too much to hope, perhaps some way of mitigating the severity of these traumatic storms.

Fiery flamenco fiesta Dancers perform challenging movements for Harbour City show BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN
T
he soul and history of flamenco flows through Veronica Maguire when she performs. “With the temperament of the dance, the versatility, it’s a type of dance form you can do till you are 90 or 100 years old. It can grow with you. It has a culture. It’s a legacy,” she said “Flamenco has that way of making you fall into it. It’s one of those things you can’t ignore. It’s addictive.” The Victoria resident brings her passion for the art form, with the rest of her Alma de España troupe members, to the Harbour City Theatre stage Saturday (Jan. 16). Troupe members recently returned from a trip to Jerez, Spain. Maguire said the dancers visit Spain to gain inspiration. “You walk the street and feel the flamenco happening all around you,” said Maguire. The Nanaimo performance features Maguire, flamenco guitarist Gareth Owen, singer Juan de Marias, dancer Denise Yeo and special guest performer Kasandra “La China” from Vancouver. La China will perform a bata de cola dance. The bata de cola, translated as gown or dress with a tail, is a sig-
nificant technical challenge for the dancer. The tail can pose challenges because of its weight and length and becomes an intrinsic part of the dancer’s body movements and expression. “It takes a lot of technique to work the dress,” said Maguire. “The piece is quite complex and very beautiful to watch.” During the dances other troupe members will shout out palmas or jalears, encouragements for the dancers. “Basically we are having one big party onstage,” said Maguire, adding she hopes the audience will join and also express encouragements. Accompanying music for the dancers is provided by Owen. He followed in the footsteps of his father, who was also a flamenco guitarist. “Gareth has known guitar all his life,” she said. He has performed at the Greater Victoria Performing Arts Festival, the Toronto International Flamenco Festival and the Vancouver International Flamenco Festival. His wife, Yeo, is also part of the troupe. “It’s very special. I’m very lucky to perform with family,” said Maguire. Maguire will perform a soleares, which means solitude. “It does have a story, but every dancer develops it differently. It’s
how you are in your own being and the dance evolves,” she said. “It is through the song that gives the dancer the inspiration.” Maguire has been performing and teaching flamenco for more than 40 years. She co-founded the dance school and touring company, Alma de España, in Victoria in 1991 with her late husband, flamenco guitarist Harry Owen. “Veronica and her late husband are the founders of flamenco on Vancouver Island. It is really because of them flamenco has such a thriving community,” said Janine Wood, coordinator of Nanaimo’s Solera Performing Arts Society, which presents Alma de España in Nanaimo. Solera’s mandate is to support art education through engagements such as workshops, performances and dance camps. For more information please go to www.soleraarts.com. Alma de España shows at the Harbour City Theatre, located at 25 Victoria Rd., at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance by calling 250-754-8550 or going to www.porttheatre.com or $22 at the door. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Artists challenged to stretch their imaginations and paint on odd canvas size BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN
An art show on Gabriola is challenging artists on a dimensional level. The show, Stretched, invites artists to work on an unlikely sized canvas to create a piece of art. Artists will create a piece on a 15- by 91-centimetre canvas. The idea is a “different incarnation” on a previous art
exhibit held on Gabriola island, said Gwen Spinks, organizer. Previously artists were challenged to work on a 30 by 30cm frame. “I love the idea of it being one size canvas,” said Spinks, adding usually the challenge comes from the need to adhere to a specific theme. The show, being held at the Gabriola Women’s Institute Hall Friday to Sunday (Jan. 15-17)
features 36 artists, five of whom are teenagers, and 46 canvases. Some artists have collaborated on a piece such as artists Joke Mensik and Kimm Nightingale. “All the artists were just amazing and eager to apply,” said Spinks. The show features artists from a variety of backgrounds including fabric artists, three dimensional artists and painters. “I love these projects. It could

be a lot bigger,” said Spinks, who added there were several more artists interested in participating in the show, but she had to restrict it because of space. The Women’s Institute Hall is the new home of the Gabriola Arts Council. “I really wanted to use the space to introduce the space to Gabriola and Vancouver Island as an arts space,” said Spinks.
Pieces will be sold for $225, except the work by the teens. Artists receive 80 per cent of sales and Spinks receives 20 per cent to cover costs. Of that 20 per cent she is donating five per cent to the Gabriola Arts Council. Stretched opens Friday (Jan. 15) 7-9 p.m. The show runs Saturday and Sunday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Book eyes historical moments
I
NEARBY CITY has its stories revisited.
By RACHEL STERN The News BulleTiN
Watershed Moments: A Pictoral History of Courtenay and District was written by Christine Dickinson, Deborah Griffiths, Judy Hagen and Catherine Siba. With photos edited by Ernst Vegt. The easy-to-read sections and eyecatching layout of Watershed Moments: A Pictoral History of Courtenay and District makes the book interesting and engaging. The book includes excerpts from letters and diaries to give a more personal perspective on Courtenay’s history. It focuses on events starting with settlers arriving and colonization. It chronicles events from the mid1800s to the 1950s. It includes 150 black-and-white and colour photographs, maps and scans of mementos. Touching stories and interesting historical facts abound in the book such as creating the Sandwick War Memorial Cairn, which was constructed from the rocks gathered at farms owned by men who died in the First World War.

Nanaimo artist Diane Rae is inviting people to come paint with her during the Art Interchange, a project she created to raise awareness about art in the community, at the Nanaimo North Library. It runs Tuesdays from 1:30-4:30 p.m.

ON SITE art event builds awareness.
By RACHEL STERN The News BulleTiN
Artists looking for a space to paint and camaraderie can come together in the Nanaimo North Library starting this month. Diane Rae, who paints with acrylic, created the On Site Art Interchange to r a i s e a w a re n e s s about art. Last year, Rae painted at various community spaces around the Harbour City. She would setup and people could talk to her about her art. “I wanted to get people interested in the idea that art is happening around
us all the time,” said Rae. This year Rae has expanded the initiative and is inviting other artists to join her at the Nanaimo North Library and paint. Participants can be everything from hobby painters to professional artists. This is the second year Rae has coordinated the On Site Art Interchange in Nanaimo. She also facilitated the interchange when she lived in Port Alberni. The interchange will be held in the library for the entire session, which is until March 29. It runs ever y Tuesday, 1:30-4:30 p.m. The sessions are drop-in and attendees don’t have to stay for the entire time. Last year Rae said she was approached

by several people who were interested in getting involved. “People wanted a cost free event to get back into art making,” said Rae. She connected with the Vancouver Island Regional Library and coordinated to host the entire event in the library this year instead of moving locations. “They (VIRL) offered me the opportunity for people to do this with me,” said Rae. Attendees must bring their own painting supplies to the drop in sessions. For more information, please call 250933-2665 or e-mail nanaimonorth@virl. bc.ca. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

The 2016 Charger uses a TorqueFlite eight-speed transmission mated to a 3.6-litre Pentastar V-6 engine, which effortlessly generates 292 horses. And it’s a muscle car with mean fuel economy numbers – 12.8/8.6 L/100 kms. The tester’s Rallye Group option with its one-of-a-kind cold-air induction system, sport-tuned exhaust and engine calibration teases another eight horsepower from the V6. The deep throaty exhaust note whisks one back to the 60s when the Airplane’s Grace Slick was also in good voice and I had hair. No surprise that the freeway cruising was fun additionally aided and abetted by the three steering modes: Normal, Comfort and Sport. To be honest, I really didn’t get the chance to put the all-wheel drive system to the test but it has to be a bonus for suburban drivers encountering winter weather on their commutes. But does it play nice as a town car? – In the main yes, though the coupe inhibited view can make supermarket parking a challenge. The V6 did not disappoint. Of course, if you want muscle on steroids then you might want to take a look at the Charger SRT Hellcat model with its supercharged 6.2-litre HEMI Hellcat engine. It produces 707 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft. of torque and a top speed of almost 330 km/h. A slightly tamer option is the Charger SRT 392 model, powered by a 6.4-litre 392 HEMI V-8 engine, delivering 485 horsepower and 475 lb.-ft. of torque. A quick mention of something I doubt was ever a consideration in the old days: the Charger offers more than 80 safety and security features! keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

The 2016 Ford Mustang GT was sought after by web surfers. BMW 3 Series made it into the top 15 for the first time. Google says it is a rare event for a luxury vehicle. People Googling cars have usually made their short list and are looking to buy in many cases. However, the trend from which BMW benefitted follows greater interest by Canadians in luxury brands. Luxury searches on Google are up 18 per cent in 2015. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

When it comes to Google searches for cars, Canadians differ considerably from their American cousins. The search engine company has just released its top 10 lists for all manner of topics, but the auto searches topped Driveway’s interest list. The Ford Mustang topped the Canadian charts and the top selling F-Series truck the Escape and the Focus joined it. Google suggests the Mustang topped the list because it was the best-selling sports car last year and it features a complete redesign. While Ford dominated in the Great White North, Chevrolet vehicles were Googled more down south. Four featured in the top 10 with the Chevrolet Malibu at the top followed by the Silverado truck in second place, the Camaro at fourth and the Colorado truck in eighth place. The Corvette was in fourth place in Canada and the Camaro sixth. The Honda Civic, top in car sales here, was No. 2 in Canadian searches. Mainstream, domestically produced vehicles dominate both sides of the border. Interestingly, the

The awards “recognize vehicles that exhibit laudable environmental achievement,” according to Green Car Journal, which oversees the awards. “Along with improved environmental performance, traditional buyer touchstones like functionality, safety, quality, value and performance are also considered.” For the Connected award, the magazine also considers, “the integration of connected technologies that enhance efficiency, safety and the driving experience.” The Audi A3 Sportback E-tron plug-in hybrid features the most advanced version of the Audi connect platform, which provides the benefits of access to information and content, when needed, through interfaces designed for the in-vehicle environment. Audi A3 Sportback E-tron also was a finalist for the national Green Car of the Year Award bestowed by Green Car Journal and given at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November.

Nanaimo News Bulletin Thursday, January 14, 2016

Beefs & bouquets BOUQUET To the lady who waves to everyone passing by while walking her small dog on Dolphin Drive in Nanoose. You brighten everyone’s day. BEEF To the paramedics who used their flashing lights and sirens to make drivers pull over so they could go faster to their home bases. BOUQUET To Milano’s restaurant for the wonderful Christmas decorations and warm welcome to all through the holidays. BEEF To Don Cherry with his parroting of Canadian hockey players good, European hockey players bad. BOUQUET To Wendy who found my address book and contacted me to retrieve it. I had rushed to the emergency room and in my panic dropped it. BEEF To the grocery store charging $15 per pound for Mexico asparagus and $5 per pound for broccoli while other stores are nowhere near that. I’ll go elsewhere. BOUQUET To Top Drawer Graphics for graciously donating winter coats to my son and grandsons. BEEF The deer are in the wild. We build on the wild – we are the problem. So for being caring and compassionate of our fellow creatures we should be fined $10,000? But people who abuse, neglect and even kill their ‘pets’ don’t seem to get punished.
BEEF To the politicians who continue to waste a lot of valuable time on petty, self issues instead of looking at the bigger picture. BOUQUET To Leah and the friendly staff at Calais Spa and Billiards for generously helping us get new pool equipment for our Chemainus youth centre. You guys are the best. BEEF To the TV weatherman who said there was enough snow on the ground for the kids to make a “snowperson.” I hope the ladies don’t really mind continuing to call it a snowman. Political correctness sometimes crosses over into being almost ridiculous. BOUQUET To Darryl at Coastal Mountain Fuels for making a special delivery of furnace oil on Christmas Day. What a super person with excellent customer service who said he “didn’t want us to be cold on Christmas.” BEEF To having to pass people daily on the street smoking marijuana. I am not against people having the freedom to smoke it – just do it in your own homes. I don’t drink wine on the corner.
BOUQUET To the staff at the Nanaimo News Bulletin for their hard work and keeping our city updated on the latest news. You guys rock. BEEF To the restaurant management and the parents for doing nothing about their loud, screaming kids. Parents should be in control of their children and teach them manners while out in public, especially a restaurant where others are trying to enjoy their meal. BOUQUET To Nesvogs and Cobs for donating food to a hungry person in our community. I am so happy to live in a community that businesses care about the less fortunate. BOUQUET To Port Place mall for the variety of shopping, customer service and overall friendly downtown environment. BOUQUET To all the cheering school children and all the other fans who contribute their voices, energy and excitement to Nanaimo Clippers game nights.
BOUQUET My belated thanks to the person who left a note on the windshield of my Honda Element at Beban Park indicating that I had a flat tire. I was headed out to the Nanaimo Parkway which could have proven dangerous. BOUQUET To my neighbour Jim Avender, of Abba Floorcoverings, for taking the time to find and fix a problem with my carpet on his lunch break. Jim, you are a flooring genius. BOUQUET To Pho Tintin owner for taking the time to look up and print out bus route information for an out-of-town commuter. BOUQUET To artists, musicians, writers and poets aspiring to create something good and true and lasting. Thank you for making the world a more beautiful place. BOUQUET To health-conscious Washington state government. You allow me to indulge in my raw cow and goat milk fixes when I visit, thus giving me my civil choice to avoid nutrient-killing pasteurized milk with added artificially manufactured supplements. BOUQUET To two young men who swiftly came to my rescue with a jump start to my flat battery at Superstore parking lot. May good fortune smile on you both. Many thanks from the little old lady in the little red car. BOUQUET To the person who found my Jones New York bracelet and turned it in to the lost and found at The Bay. Honest and caring people like you are true gems. BOUQUET To the cashiers at Thrifty Foods Port Place for being so polite. BOUQUET To Nanaimo firefighters for installing the Christmas tree on top of Sugarloaf Mountain. It’s a beautiful tradition for the city.

BOUQUET To Larry at Hitfair Auto for always taking excellent care of his customers. He fit my Honda in New Year’s Day and no matter how busy he is he will do anything to help. Super guy. BEEF To all those Cedar residents who use their signal lights less often than their Christmas lights, which is about three weeks of the year.
________________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________
BEEF To Mr. Weather. We should’ve had a white Christmas, especially this past year what with a lot of trials and tribulations.
BOUQUET To Luke at HyperMechanical.ca for his prompt response in resolving a heating problem during the holidays. Prompt, courteous and meticulous service at a reasonable price.
BOUQUET To the citizens of Nanaimo for bravely putting up with the political monkey business by the little rascals, but also a beef for doing nothing about it.
BEEF to motorists who don’t yield to pedestrians at crosswalks. Most days it’s no big deal but on rainy and windy days it’s no fun waiting to cross the street.
BOUQUET To all the Sendial staff at Thrifty Foods Port Place mall. Thanks to my Wednesday phoner and for my delivery man on Thursday. You make each week special.

Clippers add top scorer
I
Team makes first road trip to Wenatchee The Nanaimo Clippers are headed on a B.C. Hockey League road trip that will take them beyond B.C.’s borders. The Clips make their first-ever visit to play the expansion Wenatchee Wild in Washington this week. “It’s going to be a neat trip for all of us,” said Mike Vandekamp, Clippers coach. “It’s probably, for the majority of our team, the first time we’ve even been to that city.” He said the Wild are a good team, which makes for a good challenge. The U.S. squad showcased a speedy style of play in a 4-2 win over the Clippers in Nanaimo in October. Wenatchee will be tough at home, where it draws more than 3,000 fans per game. “I know they’ve got a great fanbase and a great rink,” Vandekamp said. It will make for a different kind of experience for the Clippers. “We’re going somewhere none of us have ever played, so we’ll all be excited, but we’ve got to be able to maintain that emotion and put it into the game,” said Devin Brosseau, Clippers captain. GAME ON … The Clippers and Wild play Friday at 7:05 p.m. After that, the Clips visit the Langley Rivermen on Saturday and then the Coquitlam Express on Sunday. Next home action for Nanaimo is Jan. 22 when the Surrey Eagles stop by Frank Crane Arena.
GAVIN GOULD comes from Interior Division to bolster forward ranks. BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
It could become even tougher, now, to keep the Nanaimo Clippers off the scoreboard. The city’s B.C. Hockey League team added another scoring threat over the weekend, acquiring Gavin Gould from the Merritt Centennials in exchange for Zach Court. Gould practised with his new team for the first time on Tuesday at Frank Crane Arena. “I’m happy to be here and I’m excited to help this team make a push,” he said. The 19-year-old forward, 10th in league scoring, had an idea that he might be moved at the trade deadline after spending the first two and a half years of his junior hockey career with the Centennials. “Once we started getting separated from a playoff spot, I kind of thought there was a chance of it happening,” he said. The Clippers liked Gould’s offensive capabilities and also his feisty play, said general manager Mike Vandekamp, and the newcomer expects to play a similar sort of game in Nanaimo as he played in Merritt. “I’m just going to do whatever I’ve been doing, because that’s clearly what they’ve brought me in for,” Gould said. “Just bring energy and an offensive side … work hard, do whatever it takes to help these guys win.”
GREG SAKAKI/THE NEWS BULLETIN
Nanaimo Clippers forward Gavin Gould takes a shot on goal during his first practice with the team on Tuesday afternoon at Frank Crane Arena.
Playing the Clippers as an opponent, he found them hard to play against with their skill, work ethic and attention to detail. Now that he’s on their side, he said the Clippers are right up there among the league’s best. “I definitely think this team can go far and I’m excited to see where it goes and help along the way,” Gould said. The 5-foot-8, 160 pounder is the final roster addition for the 201516 Clippers.

“That part of the season has passed us by now, and we’ve got to move forward and survive and succeed with the hands on deck that we have,” Vandekamp said. “Obviously we have confidence in our team. We’ve played well this year. Some guys are going to have to rise up and continue to improve, continue to get better, that’s a given. So the job is not done – we have a lot of work ahead of us.” sports@nanaimobulletin.com

The Nanaimo Minor Hockey Association’s mission statement is “to promote sportsmanship, fair competition, development and safety for minor hockey players of all skill levels.” Certainly from what I observed the Atomic tournament fulfilled that mandate, with parents, spectators and off-ice supporters encouraged to use positive feedback to players and avoid criticisms of play on either team and of those officiating. Parents were quick to offer their praise for the event’s organization and overall atmosphere of fun and good sportsmanship. My congratulations go to tournament coordinators Lana McIver and Angela Vandepeear, as well as to Gunnar Myhrer and the entire tournament committee. Whatever your sport, a reminder in closing to play ( ad your hardest, play fair, and ( ad show good sportsmanship.

Wellington Wildcats basketball player Hayden Jeffrey scores a lay-up during a game against R.E. Mountain last Thursday at the Superball Tournament at the Wellington Secondary School gym.

as ‘hole shots’ in motocross. “He’s really dialled that in with loads of practice…” Steve said. “Especially in an indoor race, there’s not a lot of places to pass; there’s not a lot of places to make your move if you’re charging. That’s been a huge part of his success, is getting out and getting out early.” After that, it can be a bit of a battle out on the track. Contact is against the rules – kind of. “It’s nose to nose, tire to tire, elbow to elbow,” Steve said. “It’s the roller derby of motocross.” sports@nanaimobulletin.com

A Nanaimo racer was able to make it around the tight turns of arenacross and excel. Sebastian Sulyok of Cedar placed third this past fall in the Canadian Arenacross Championship series. He moved up to the 65cc sevento-nine-year-old division, which was a noticeable difference. “Now, at this level, these kids are somewhat expected to jump the bigger obstacles,” said Steve Sulyok, Seby’s father. The family travelled to venues around Western Canada on the eight-round series and saw a “phenomenal” calibre of racing. “The level of competition is exponentially growing,” Steve Sulyok said. “These kids are coming up from the States now, the kids are coming from Alberta, they’re coming from out east, as well.” Sebastian’s top finish was a second in Cloverdale in early November, and a third-place result during the final weekend in Chilliwack helped him secure his third-place plate. There were 19 other participants in the series. One of Sebastian’s strengths this season was his starts, known
