T
he Great International World Championship Bathtub Race and the Nanaimo Marine Festival have firmly woven themselves in to Nanaimo’s cultural fabric since 1967. Former Nanaimo mayor Frank Ney used the race as a Centennial event for Nanaimo and it grabbed international attention. Through the 1970s and ’80s, tubbers came from as far as Australia and New Zealand to take part.
Nanaimo Mayor John Ruttan, a former Loyal Nanaimo Bathtub Society commodore, recalls the international attention the race once drew. “We had a huge international flavour,” Ruttan said. “I can remember one year, it was probably 1986 or ’87, when I was at the finish line in Vancouver and there were three Japanese television networks that came over to cover it.” The Australians bowed out after a conflict over tub weight and horsepower specifications. The race course, changed in 1997 after
the demise of Vancouver’s Sea Festival, now starts and finishes in Nanaimo. The race is still the culminating event of the Nanaimo Marine Festival and the premier event of international bathtub competitions, even if today’s competitors are primarily local. With an average of about 45 tubs entering each year, interest in the sport remains stable, but could the sport be rejuvenated and once again attract competitors and attention from around the world? ◆ See ‘SUPPORTERS’ /7

AMENDMENTS SET guidelines for achieving $26 million in savings. BY TOBY GORMAN THE NEWS BULLETIN
New amendments to the Coastal Ferry Act will see a total of $30 million in service cuts and could affect virtually any route B.C. Ferries serves. B.C. Ferries commissioner Gord Macatee released the guiding principles of the amendments earlier this month. The province will take those principles into account when it consults with coastal communities served by the ferry service, with a deadline set for June 30, 2013 for proposals to be submitted to Macatee. The amendments expire with the Performance Term 3 contract on March 31, 2016. The guiding principles indicate routes that could be affected by the service cuts include those that: experience significant financial losses annually; report annual capacity utilisation levels below 55 per cent; involve multiple ports; and are anticipating major capital expenditures. Adjustments will also take into account the need to ensure basic

Changes to bring $4 million in savings from major B.C. Ferries routes were previously announced. Further changes aim to save another $26 million.
ferry service for travel to school, work and significant community events. John Hodgkins, the Ferry Advisory Committee chairman representing Gabriola Island, said it’s too soon to know how the amendments and impending consultations will affect service levels for Route 19, which services downtown Nanaimo to Gabriola’s Descanso Bay. “Trying to unpick the guiding principles line by line is likely to give a misleading picture, but it
would be fair to say that the prospect of achieving a $26-million cost reduction in [effectively] two to 2.5 years is a tough one,” wrote Hodgkins in an e-mail to the News Bulletin. “And although the report doesn’t say so in so many words, the assumption is that much of this is expected to come from the minor and northern routes.” About $4 million in savings was already agreed upon for major routes to and from the mainland. Hodgkins said he doubts the
Nanaimo-Gabriola route will escape unscathed, but the depth of service cuts remains to be seen. Route 19 operates at about 40-per cent capacity annually. For the first six months of 2012, B.C. Ferries reported a three-per cent reduction in vehicle traffic and a reduction of 1.5 per cent in overall passenger numbers. While bleak, it is an improvement over the first half of 2011, which saw vehicle traffic drop by 5.6 per cent, with passenger traffic down 6.8 per cent. Those numbers are similar up and down the coast, which could present a challenge for Macatee if he is going to keep the fare cap below the target of four per cent for next year. “There is a lot we don’t know at the moment and at this stage, we can only wait and see what happens,” said Hodgkins. “What we do know is that B.C. Ferries is working with the province to assess the potential cost savings ... and that they are focusing particularly on lightly used early morning and late evening sailings, where there is the greatest potential to reduce overtime payments with minimal revenue loss.” The province is expected to begin the consultation process with coastal communities in the fall. reporter2@nanaimobulletin.com
Aspengrove aims to expand international program THE NEWS BULLETIN
Aspengrove School in Lantzville hopes to become one of a handful of schools across the province to offer a well-regarded international education program from age three to graduation. The private school was granted candidacy status for the International Baccalaureate diploma program for Grades 11 and 12 students, which means staff must work over the next year to meet a number of requirements before getting authorization to offer the program. The IB program is taught in close to 3,500 schools in 143 countries. “It’s recognized worldwide for having high standards,” said Zinda FitzGerald, Aspengrove’s head of school. “It takes the best in teaching practices. Universities love students who have gone through the

program.” Aspengrove already has the IB primary years program for junior kindergarten to Grade 5 and the middle years program from Grades 6-10. If the school’s bid to offer the diploma program is successful, it will be one of only a few in B.C. offering the IB program from the

start of a child’s formal education until the end of high school and it would also be the sixth school on the Island offering the diploma program. The others are in Victoria, Shawnigan Lake and Comox. Before Aspengrove can offer the diploma program, it must go through a rigorous approval process that includes extra training for teachers, working with a consultant to develop course outlines that follow the IB philosophy and standards, and proving that the school’s scheduling ensures all students have access to the necessary courses. “We hope to be authorized by September 2013,” FitzGerald said. “It’s a lot of work, but it is exciting.” Once authorized, the school will be subject to regular evaluations, teachers must send off samples of student work for evaluation, some
exams are marked externally and the school must continue to send teachers for training to maintain program standards, FitzGerald said. Five teachers were in Florida in June for the initial round of training. The diploma program aims to produce well-rounded students who view the world from a range of perspectives and each student must participate in community service, write an extended essay on an independent research topic and take a theory of knowledge course on top of the regular course load. “In the end, it’s about helping them reach their full potential,” said FitzGerald. “It’s all about teaching them to want to find out more, be curious, to take action.” For more infor mation about Aspengrove, please go to www. aspengroveschool.ca. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Police in Nanaimo are turning to the public to help track down the people responsible for break-ins and vandalism at John Barsby Secondary School. T he most recent break-in was discovered by security personnel Tuesday at about 3:20 a.m. Those responsible got in by breaking a window on the west side of the school. “The glass had been pulled out of the frame and they found a blue chair outside on the ground, which probably allowed them to crawl into the building,” said Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman. The culprits went into a classroom and smashed a computer monitor and a computer tower was taken apart and smashed as well. “It doesn’t appear anything was taken,” O’Brien said. “It looks like it’s just malicious damage.” Police are looking for a link between that incident and a July 9 break-in at the school when someone pried open a door on the south side of the building, entered the gymnasium and threw hockey equipment around. Nothing appears to have been stolen in that incident either. Anyone with information about these incidents is asked to call Nanaimo RCMP at 2 5 0 - 7 5 4 - 2 3 4 5 o r contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www. nanaimocrimestoppers.com.

Firefighters douse blaze in old cedar BY CHRIS BUSH THE NEWS BULLETIN
Mosst comfortable Modal day wear, sle eepwear and much more. m
A fire in an old cedar tree was snuffed out in north Nanaimo Tuesday. The blaze was reported at about 2:30 p.m. by a man playing with his son on the beach below Invermere Road. “It was in a big, old cedar snag,” said Dave Leigh, Nanaimo Fire Rescue fire prevention officer. “We believe it was a set fire.” Leigh said the man who reported the fire heard s o m e yo u t h s roughhousing in the woods above the beach in the area of the fire. A few minutes later he heard the crackle of cedar bur ning and saw the fire. No one witnessed the youths leaving the fire scene, which was in an area about 100 metres down an embankment and about 60 metres south of a set of beach-access stairs. The tree was in a clearing that appeared to be used for camping or just hanging out, Leigh said. Had the tree been closer to other vegetation, the fire could have spread into the forest canopy. “It was confined to the tree,” Leigh said. “The area around it was quite clear. There wasn’t anything tight in to it. If it would have been windy or more confined with trees, then the canopy could have got going.” Firefighters doused the fire and surrounding area and then called in a faller to down the snag, which had another tree growing out of it and posed a safety hazard.

Man suffers head injuries from beating
What you nee ed to kno ow about the weekend ◆ The Great Internationa al Wo orld Cham mpionship Bathtub Race, the key attraction for the Nanaimo Marrine Festival, is on Sunday (July 22).
One man suffered head injuries when he was beaten during a home invasion in north Nanaimo Tuesday. The incident happened at about 1:20 a.m. when three men allegedly broke into a home on Malibu Terrace and used a barbell to strike a 23-year-old man several times in the back of the head. The assailants then sped off in a white, four-door sedan. The victim did not get a licence plate number. When police arrived, they found the victim bleeding from cuts to his head. He was treated at the scene by paramedics. Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman, said the victim’s girlfriend and grandfather, who were in the home at the time of the attack, were not injured. The attack appeared to be directed solely at the victim, who is known to police, O’Brien said. The victim allegedly claimed not to know his attackers, but O’Brien said police are investigating the possibility of a prior relationship between the parties involved and a possible connection to the drug trade. “The victim has been less than forthcoming,” O’Brien said.

The 2012 great race starts Sunday (July 22) at 11 a.m.
Martin, 16, advocates putting up a cash prize and returning the finish to Vancouver to re-energize the sport and draw international competitors. “I loved having Aussies there. It was lots of fun with them being there,” Martin said. Mathew Collins, 16, runs his second great race this
year. He grew up watching his father Roy race and said there is a friendly, family environment around bathtub racing. Those are qualities he wants to maintain. But all three say to really promote the sport and the great race, circuit bathtub races must be better organized and promoted.
◆ Racers follow a 58-kilometre course to the finish line at Departure Bay beach. Th he fastest finishers will reach the beach and ring the bell in just over an b h hour.
Circuit races are held at the annual Oak Bay Tea Party and Departure Bay, but attendance by spectators and tubbers at those races varies drastically. Oak Bay might have thousands of spectators already attending tea party events, but the race in Departure Bay might draw 50 or so spectators, simply because few people even know it is happening. The number of competing tubbers at circuit races averages 12-15. “It could become like a motocross event that’s quite big each weekend,” Collins said. “A lot more racers might come out if there’s a lot more public. A lot of racers like being seen by the public and if there’s no public, why come out?” Collins said getting people to consistently commit to organizing and promoting race events is another challenge. “A lot of people who say

they’re doing it and then drop out at the last minute,” Collins said. “We need more people who are committed to doing it.” Ruttan said cur rent marine festival and race organizers need to recognize the importance of succession and there are several ambitious, aggressive and successful groups of younger people he thinks would welcome the opportunity and challenge. “We need a larger group of people with renewed vigour and enthusiasm,” Ruttan said. “If we had more useful people who could think of these ideas and run with them, then I think I could see change coming and it’s addressed by succession.” photos@nanaimobulletin.com

From /1 Bill McGuire, Loyal Nanaimo Bathtub Society commodore, was involved with the sport since the first race and said bathtub racing is supposed to be fun and competitive, but it’s not a professional sport and the society is opposed to anything that would go against that basic principle. “One thing that would do that, that we are dead against, is prize money,” McGuire said. McGuire said the Australians wanted to win at any cost, prize money or not. Raising the prize stakes could also raise the cost of competing, which might drive people away from the sport. Ruttan and McGuire suggest it might be time to turn to the public for views on which course bathtub racing should sail into the future. “We’re wide open for suggestions and always have been. In fact, we’re wide open for members too, which you have to be in this day and age, that’s for sure,” McGuire said. Fresh ideas or not, the competitive spirit is alive and well and as one generation of tubbers retires, new ones are taking their turns at the tiller. Brayden Pedersen, 14, will be this year’s youngest tubber. “It’s kind of an adventure thing and I want to beat last year’s youngest tubber Ashley Martin,” Pedersen said. “So far I’ve beaten Ashley in the circuit races.”

EDITORIAL
Bathtub event should evolve Every year, in cities all over the world, hundreds of people rocket down an icy course wearing not much more than hockey skates. At other events, people pilot tiny planes through an obstacle course over harbours, or cliff jump from enormous heights to the delight of thousands of spectators below. Sound crazy? It shouldn’t – none of these events is any more outrageous than Nanaimo’s beloved bathtub races. The difference is these other quasisports attract worldwide attention from fans and participants, flooding host cities with millions in tourist dollars, not to mention the fun and frivolity associated with an international event. Attendance and participation to Nanaimo’s ‘great race’ is steady, but it’s time to think outside the bathtub and reinvigorate the 45-year-old event. The younger generation of tubbers – the same kids who grew up watching X-Games and Jackass on television – has lots of ideas to attract new blood, starting with prize money. A new route around Nanaimo Harbour that’s more spectator-friendly, while providing less-risk for first-time tubbers, would make the race itself – the cornerstone of the entire Marine Festival – more attractive to watch. Or things could get really crazy with the addition of obstacles, jumps, stunts or other wild innovations. Members of the Loyal Nanaimo Bathtub Society worked tirelessly to produce the festival every year, building it into the city’s signature summer festival. To stay relevant today, however, the event must evolve. Other sports have – ski cross is now an Olympic event. Bathtubbing won’t likely get that far – it’s hardly a yacht race – but it could provide no end to fodder for spectators and television’s highlight reel.

After determining your smartphone’s location, the site displays the name and phone number of the local maintenance contractor who can take the report. For those who haven’t joined the smartphone era, there is an old-fashioned option. Dialing 5-1-1 anywhere in the province gives access to a toll-free line that connects to recorded DriveBC messages. Agarwal said use of that service has been declining as phones with web access become more popular. The 5-1-1 service also requires you to use the keypad to select your route from a numerical list, so drivers would have to pull over rather than breach the new restrictions on using handheld devices while driving. The 5-1-1 system still gets surges of heavy use during major events like the recent flooding. The plan is to upgrade the system to allow voice recognition, so drivers can use headsets to get updates on the move. ◆ Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

City should add parks, not upgrades To the Editor, Re: Several assumptions in park survey, Letters, July 10. Ron Bolin’s letter put me in mind of my own thoughts on the remake of Maffeo Sutton Park a few years ago, which were, basically, “Why? Everybody loves this place.” When the work was done, the end arrangement appeared to consist of more cobblestones, fewer trees, and the question ‘why’, repurposed as, “Was it worth it?” still hanging in the air. Over the years, several different administrations have rearranged the park in some ‘busy with construction’ manner, while people just want to be there and enjoy it. Perhaps there is a fundamental disconnect between people and the city over what a park should be. I favour the idea that greenspace should be green, and that a park should preserve space for creatures that live there (not rabbits). People or

nature? A park should be a place where the two co-exist. I moved to Nanaimo
in 1980 and thought the parks system here amazing, especially for a community its size.
Nanaimo was a city with forested areas and a quiet culture of rugged beauty that sprang effortlessly, unbidden and untended, into full flower every year. We didn’t have to go very far to see nature at work. Nanaimo was a city of marvels. That changed with the entrance of millenium and megaprojects and Olympic announcements. Parks are worked over, rather than expanded, and the ‘independents’, those random things that were just there to astonish and reappear next year, are pretty much eliminated. Nanaimo cleaned up. I have wished sometimes that less was done with our trails and parks rather than more. Our parks system still offers an incredible experience, but aside from Cable Bay and Neck Point, it hasn’t grown that much. Perhaps money for Phase 2 would be better invested in more parkland, space for people to unwind and trees to live. Michael Dance Nanaimo
Readers respond: Feedback on news items Drivers elsewhere display warmth To the Editor, After reading the letter, Bad drivers pervasive, July 14, I could not help but to add my own piece to the topic of road-use culture. In my experience, there is an astounding sense of entitlement on the road, combined with illhumoured agitation and abuse. In hot-climate countries, there is a measure of spontaneity; a colourful and mostly harmless, vocalized daily drama of life. This includes the shouting out of greetings, whole conversations, and insults alike, and is seldom scary. Over here, the gestures and actions of some road users are serious, insulting, rude, and devoid of humour and warmth. It’s scary. I refer to the generous use of the middle finger, and arms thrown in the air, which quickly escalate to verbal insults upon making eye contact. Small things trigger these responses, mostly unwarranted. Examples are: moving at a green traffic light a few seconds late, not turning right on a red light at an intersection that I deem too busy, and my daughter
going through a park zone at 30 km/h, with L sign on the back and all. This rude and entitled road-use culture is cultivated by privilege and the well- functioning, FirstWorld way of life. Imagine being pushed onto the shoulder of a highway at 140 km/h or spending your entire lunch hour waiting in a lineup at the bank without ever reaching the front. My proposed remedy for this is to send all entitled and ill-humoured road users to take a gratitudeand patience-training sabbatical and go and live somewhere in Africa for a few months. Warmth needs to fill the heart first. Ingrid van Rensburg Nanaimo

We, the Great Unwashed who watch such political antics, surmise that these are the first ripples of what may turn out to be a tidal wave of retirements and defections from the party that has so obviously betrayed the trust of, and lost the faith with, the electorate. Among those who will either not run, or will get defeated, in next year’s provincial election are many first elected in 1996 – just after Gordon Campbell hijacked the party leader-
ship from Gordon Wilson – or in the 77-2 landslide in 2001. In his losing 1996 campaign, Campbell railed against the MLA goldplated pension plans. Glen Clark’s new NDP government listened to that call, and modified the controversial pensions. However, after breaking many of his own election promises, Campbell reinstated a gold-plated pension plan in 2007, giving all members the chance to buy back in for those years when it was not functional. For every dollar that an MLA pays in, taxpayers contribute $4; so former MLAs who have mismanaged our affairs for several years will be getting the last laugh – en route to the bank. It would be remiss not to mention the platinum-plus pension plan in Ottawa, where the ratio is an obscene 1:24 in dollars from MPs and taxpayers. The forerunner of today’s ruling Conservative Party – the Reform Party – railed against, and even opted out of, the MP pension plan. One of the stampeding MPs back then was a young bucking bronco from Calgary called Stephen Harper, believe it or not. Bernie Smith Parksville

All collars pose risk if not used correctly BY TERESA MYRFIELD In Nanaimo, we have our dogs on a leash and collar when out walking with them. Some types of collars, like buckle collars or quick release collars, are designed to fit fairly snugly to the dog’s neck, other types like choke chains and martingales are designed to fit more loosely and only be tighter when there is tension on the leash. While dog collars are often essential pieces of dog equipment for safety, all types of collars can harm dogs if precautions are not followed. Each year, many dogs die from accidents involving their collar getting snagged on a fence, a crate, a kennel, another dog’s mouth or paw, or something like a tree or furniture while off-leash. In such an accident, even if the owner is right nearby, it may not be possible to untangle the dog in time to prevent strangulation. We at the Nanaimo Kennel Club suggest you follow these safety tips: ◆ Remove your dog’s collar when it is home alone, in the backyard, in the back of your vehicle, in a crate or in a kennel. ◆ Never tie your dog up on a raised deck, balcony, or table nor tie them up in the back of an open vehicle by their collar. If the dog falls over the side, the dog can hang itself. ◆ Use collars such as chokes, prongs, martingales only when the dog is on leash. Remove this type of collar when you unclip the leash. ◆ Fit a quick release
snap collar or buckle collar so that it snugly fits the dog with only two fingers of space between collar and neck. This helps reduce the chance of either the dog slipping out of the collar and running loose or the dog getting the collar caught on something or someone. If you are going to take your leash off your dog so that it can play with another dog in a safe, enclosed area like an off-leash dog park or your backyard or inside your house: ◆ Consider taking the collar off until it is time the leave the off-leash area. ◆ Do not ever leave a choke, prong, or martingale collar on your dog. It is very easy for a paw or mouth to get caught in these types of collars and difficult to untangle them on time for the dog to survive. If you cannot have your dog with no collar in an off-leash situation, use a snugly fitting quick release type collar that you can quickly remove in an emergency or better yet, use a breakaway collar. Breakaway collars act like a regular collar when the leash is attached (to two D rings) but when a leash is not attached, the breakaway mechanism is allowed to release the collar if there is twisting or specific tension on the collar. Your dog will love you for following these safety tips. ◆ Teresa Myrfield is head trainer for obedience with the Nanaimo Kennel Club.

COMMENT
City’s highway dividers sorely need attention To the Editor, Dividers at intersections on the Island Highway and in Nanaimo are full of weeds and completely uncared for. I am not sure who is responsible, but it is obvious that a few locations get a lot of attention and many others none. This is especially true of the south end of town. Everyone contributes taxes to keep these looking at least tended, but only some are. Nanaimo citizens deserve better. J. Sharpe Nanaimo

It’s particularly disappointing to see the Quebec government, which otherwise has a pretty good environmental track record, support a project with known negative environmental and health risks. It also says a lot about the absurdity of an economic system in which creating a few jobs and boosting wealth is a higher priority than preventing cancer, protecting health, and having a clean environment. The Jeffrey Mine reopening is expected to create just over 400 direct jobs, each paying about $16 an hour. Is such a small economic boost worth the misery and death continued extraction and exports will cause? Many health and environmental experts from here and around the world don’t think so. The Canadian Medical Association, Canadian Cancer Society, Canadian Public Health Association, Canadian Labour Congress, and other organizations have called for a ban, with labour groups also asking for a just transition strategy for affected workers. Around the world, numerous health agencies, scientists, and doctors, including the World Health Organization, have warned of the dangers of asbestos and have recommended banning it. We must urge the governments of Quebec and Canada to listen to scientists, experts, and the public and put the brakes on this deadly industry. ◆ Written with contributions from David Suzuki Foundation editorial and communications specialist Ian Hanington. www.davidsuzuki.org

Corporations profiteer off public health To the Editor, I own a small business. I understand what it is to make money through providing an honest product or service which benefits my customers. But I refuse to allow huge, faceless, emptysouled corporations or elitist interest groups to continuously and successfully whoreout our politicians in order to gain the disproportionately advantageous position of manipulating our free enterprise system through the purchase of those politicians. Their purpose appears to be to do anything they want when they want, in the name of still more profit. At the same time, these obscenely huge profits are made upon the destruction of my health and quality of life, the diminishment of my privacy and personal choice to live as I wish to live free of government meddling, breathtaking government incompetence and complete corporate subservience leading to massively still greater profiteering upon what will become my shriveled, ill corpse. The business plan of these business monoliths seems to be that for them to prosper, I and my family along with most other citizens must die slowly, horribly, expensively, cancerously and painfully. I say no to this business plan. This business plan doesn’t work for me or those I care for. Therefore ‘no’ to smart meters. Madeson Chase Vancouver

Pedestrian struck by car A 23-year-old woman was rushed to hospital after she was struck by a vehicle in Nanaimo Tuesday. The incident happened at about 3:15 p.m. at Jingle Pot Road and Berringer Boulevard. The woman was in a marked crosswalk when she was hit by a vehicle driven by a woman in her 80s, RCMP said. The impact lifted the victim into the air and she landed on the road. She was taken by ambulance to Nanaimo Regional General Hospital to be treated for unknown injuries, but was reported to be in stable condition. The Jingle Pot Road and Berringer Boulevard intersection was closed and traffic rerouted for several hours while police investigated.

Cantelon coy about political future Ron Cantelon is still considering his options in terms of whether he plans to run in the next provincial election. The Parksville-Qualicum Liberal MLA suffered a heart attack last year, but said he still has a passion for the job, despite his health challenges.
“You get involved to make a difference,” he said. “I’m just getting good at it.” He said he would still like to push for wealth creation on Vancouver Island, as well as a shift to get more chemical products from wood, rather than just lumber and pulp. – Black Press

Mounties add 12 auxiliaries I NEW GRADUATES began training in April and round out Nanaimo’s volunteer contingent to 35.
A troop of 12 auxiliary constables received RCMP badges at g raduation ceremonies at the Coast Bastion Inn Tuesday, making the 35-volunteer contingent one of largest in the history of the Nanaimo detachment. The new troop began training in April, spending two full days a week learning everything from the criminal code, diplomacy and conflict resolution to self-defence. Auxiliary coordinator RCMP Const. Andrew Rickaby, who was in charge of training the volunteers, invited Nanaimo residents to welcome the new auxiliaries. “You will have to be role models, social workers, diplomats, counsellors, and liquor inspectors,” Rickaby told the graduates. “Be patient and be respectful even of those who don’t deserve it and always remember to

“I’m at a point in my life where I wanted to give something back to the community. This is something I always wanted to do so I took the opportunity to volunteer,” Brown said.

Two women, Caroline Davenport and Tammy Brown, were among the 12 graduating auxiliaries, joining five other female auxiliaries already serving. Brown, who works as an RCMP dispatcher and whose husband is a constable with the Nanaimo detachment, sees serving as auxiliary as a way to learn about police work and serve her community.

Rockers reunite decades later
Nanaimo band Steelback popular in 1970s and ’80s stages reunion show BY MELISSA FRYER THE NEWS BULLETIN
A
group of friends and musicians – current and former – plan to head back to the summer of ’69, if only for one night. A band that was a staple on the Nanaimo and B.C. music scenes in the 1970s and 1980s returns for a reunion show at the Port Theatre. Steelback played for more than a decade, with a dozen musicians coming and going over the years, before calling it quits. “Bands change personnel so there’s a few incarnations of the band,” said Jim Lynch, an original member who is spearheading the reunion concert. Lynch, who played in the band for two years, said the musicians were all members of Nanaimo District Secondary School’s classes of 1974-75. It was the quintessential band for a group of youth, epitomized by Bryan Adams’s classic tune Summer of ’69, a song about the carefree days ◆ STEELBACK REUNION of youth playing music. CONCERT at the Port Brad Ney was a member, Theatre July 27 at 8 and the boys – Lynch, Rob p.m. Tickets $20. Call Gawthrop, Mike Roley, Jim 250-754-8550. Wesley, Dennis Hill and Glen Duly – gathered at the late mayor Frank Ney’s house for practice. Their first gig was at the Patricia Hotel. “We always had a pretty good work ethic,” Lynch said. The band headed to Vancouver and became part of a provincewide tour that saw bands spend a week in different communities as part of a circuit. “Steelback was one of the top bands for 10 years,” Lynch said. The idea to play together again came during the graduating class’s 35-year high school reunion. A couple of gigs, including one at the Moose Hall, brought back lots of good memories for the crew. “It was really nice to play with the guys again,” Lynch said. “We were like a family – we worked really hard together for a number of years.” Almost a dozen musicians plan to rotate through the band as it plays songs from its era at the Port Theatre July 27. Also planning to attend and perform are Gary Cayer, Terry Ruth, Gordie Allen, Michael Toth and Gerry Pool. The concert starts at 8 p.m. Tickets $20. Please call 250-754-8550 or visit www.porttheatre.com for more information.

Deadheads celebrate late icon
PHOTO CONTRIBUTED
Between rocks and a flat place
Bathtub Party Headquarters
The Rocky Mountains and the vast wheat fields of the Prairie are the dual influences in singer-songwriter Mike Edel’s life, having grown up in rural Alberta. He now makes Victoria his home, and travels north of the Malahat to perform at Nanaimo Marine Festival tonight (July 19), 7:30 p.m., at Maffeo Sutton Park. Three days of free entertainment is available in the park, leading up to the bathtub race on Sunday. For a full schedule, please see the What’s On calendar on page 22.
Aug. 9 marks what may become an annual event in Nanaimo: a twilight screening of the Grateful Dead movie in honour of the late Jerry Garcia. Deadheads should know that date marks the 17th anniversary of the passing of the band’s legendary frontman. Garcia died from a heart attack in 1995 at the age of 53. The Radio Malaspina Society and Gabriel’s CafÊ honours the life of the American singer with an outdoor movie at the bottom of the China Steps. Originally released in 1977 and directed by Garcia, The Grateful Dead Movie is a film that captures performances from the Grateful Dead’s October 1974 five-night stand at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco. Over the course of 30 years, the Grateful Dead played more than 2,300 concerts and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994. MC Mitiswell, a volunteer programmer
on CHLY, had the idea to honour Garcia. For months now, Grateful Dead fans enjoyed Three Packs a Day, the two-hour Monday morning radio show devoted to playing the music of the Grateful Dead. Recognizing that Deadheads are a unique group of people whose love for the music never dies, Mitiswell decided to honour Garcia by sharing the movie
with the Nanaimo community. There is no charge to attend, however, donations to the Radio Malaspina Society are appreciated. People are welcome to gather at the bottom of the China Steps with a lawnchair or a blanket at 6:30 p.m., with the film beginning at dusk. For more information, please e-mail

WORLD FAMOUS PSYCHIC TO VISIT PORT THEATRE Sylvia Browne, the world`s most renowned psychic and spiritual teacher, will be at the Port Theatre in Nanaimo, on Sunday, September 30th at 7:30 PM as part of her 50th Anniversary Tour. She is also a gifted author, lecturer and researcher in the ďŹ eld of parapsychology. This will be her ďŹ rst time on Vancouver Island, and will be her only performance on Vancouver Island. Sylvia has regular appearances in Las Vegas, appeared weekly on the Montel Williams Show for more than 17 years, has made appearances on numerous television programs including Unsolved Mysteries and Larry King Live and has more than 50 published books with 22 appearing on the New York Times Bestsellers List. Sylvia manifested her psychic ability at the age of three in her home town of Kansas City. For many years she shared her gift with friends and family, and became very well known for helping people see their future. In 1974, Sylvia founded the Nirvana Foundation for Psychic Research, a non proďŹ t organization. The name has since been changed to the Sylvia Brown Corporation. In her 50 years of using her unique skills, via her deep trance channelling ability, she has helped thousands of people gain control of their lives, live more happily and understand the meaning of life. While this is Sylvia`s ďŹ rst appearance on Vancouver Island, she has been to BC previously, and has performed in Kelowna to two sold put shows, and on this fall tour, she will be at a number of western Canada locations. In Cranbrook, in the BC interior, her tickets went on sale June 25th, and all 600 seats are now sold out. All seats for the engagement at the Port Theatre are reserved with 50 front level seats set aside for VIP status which will guarantee these 50 people will be able to ask Sylvia a question at the show. The VIP seats are $85.00 including HST and CDF fees, and all other seats are $50.00 including HST and CDF fees.

Students stage Seuss’s musical After a one-year hiatus, a popular children’s theatre program is back with a beloved production. Nanaimo Arts Alive summer school presents Seussical The Musicall July 27-29 at the Bailey Studio on Rosstown Road. For nearly 20 years, Arts Alive offered its flagship course of senior musical theatre to teens during the summer months. In this course, 20 to 30 talented teens are led by a professional director through a concentrated three weeks of rehearsal for a musical play, which ends with public performances. The course was not offered in 2011, disappointing dozens of people, but it is back this year under the direction of Ward Norcutt. Students in Arts Alive performed in Seussical previously, but the play is so popular that the school decided to resurrect it.
The actors in the previous production are all grown up, leading to a whole new cast of Cat in the Hats, Horton the Elephants and various Whos. Seussical The Musicall incorporates the characters and plots of children’s author Dr. Seuss’s most popular books. The show debuted on Broadway in New York in 2000, with subsequent tours across North America. The summer children’s theatre show often sells out, leading producers to add another day of performance. The production runs July 27, at 7 p.m.; July 28-29 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 and available at Northridge Fitness, Artzi Stuff and Arts Alive summer school office at Wellington Secondary School. For more information, please visit www. nanaimoartsalive. com.

Raiders do things differently
I
TEAM BEGINS practice before main camp. BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
B.C.’s six-time reigning champs don’t mind fiddling with a winning formula. The Vancouver Island Raiders held their first practice Tuesday at Comox Field as they prepare for their season opener Aug. 4 in Victoria. Usually, Nanaimo’s Canadian Junior Football League team gets started with an exhaustive main camp and then gets into a daily practice routine. This year, it’s the other way around. “We looked at what’s the best way the Raiders can come out of the gate and how can we be as effective and execute as best as we can come Game 1,” said Matthew (Snoop) Blokker, Raiders coach. The team wasn’t able to find an exhibition game this year, so that was one of the reasons why the Raiders decided to schedule things this way. And hey, sometimes change is good, said the coach. “It changes the thought process and it changes the program so then people aren’t just going through the motions,” said Blokker. “It’s something new.” Veteran quarterback Jordan Yantz said a week

and a half of repetitions will help the learning curve and make main camp less stressful. “Mainly we’re just getting a head start here, kind of getting the wheels turning and giving guys
a couple more reps and gettting used to things a little bit more,” he said. The practices might help players be physically ready for camp, and mentally ready, too, Blokker said.

“Guys are going to know what they’re doing, they’re going to know their positions and I think that’s going to lead to us having a way more intense camp and preparing us better for Week 1.”
GRID BITS … The Raiders have a fundraiser car wash Saturday (July 21) from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. at Harris Mitsubishi. Players and Raider Girls dance team members will be there. sports@nanaimobulletin.com
Timbermen battle to stay in playoff mix The Nanaimo Timbermen put themselves in the position, for better or for worse, where all their remaining games will have huge playoff implications. The Coastal Windows T-men senior A lacrosse team plays three g ames over the next four days. Nanaimo visits the N e w We s t m i n s t e r Salmonbellies today (July 19), goes back to the mainland Saturday to take on the Coquitlam Adanacs, and then hosts the Burnaby Lakers on Sunday at Frank Crane Arena. If the T-men can go on a run, they could push through the traffic jam in the Western Lacrosse Association standings. If they slump, they could find themselves out of the race. Scott R a n g e r, Nanaimo captain, said his team will be prepared to start off this stretch with a complete game tonight at New West. “It’s going to be a battle and we’re going to have to be ready to play for 60 minutes,” he said. “And hopefully we get on the right end of the two points at the end of the night.” GAME ON … This Sunday’s home game against the Lakers is a 7 p.m. start at Frank Crane Arena. Tickets at the door. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Making it to the B.C. Summer Games was an achievement. Now 71 local youths might as well go one step further, or two or three steps, to the top of the podium. The Games begin today (July 19) in Surrey. Four Nanaimo Riptides swimmers – Kara Wilson, Maria de Leeuw, Amanda Assen and Gage DellaRosa – are among those with a chance at a medal this week. De Leeuw said she’s been counting down the days to the Games. “It was one of my goals to get picked and then I got picked, so I was really excited for it,” she said. The qualifying process involved a complicated points formula. Wilson said she had to “leave it all in the pool”
to earn her place. “It was very exciting for me because it’s going to be a really fun experience with my friends,” she said. The 100-metre breaststroke might be the most interesting competition for de Leeuw and Wilson, as they go into the Games ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in that event, respectively. “So it’s going to be really close,” de Leeuw said. “It’s always [dependent] on the finish, not gliding into the wall. You have to take another stroke.” De Leeuw is looking forward to the opening ceremonies, she said, and she thinks she might get a chance, in between her swims, to watch some of the synchonized swimming at the Games. And since not too many swim meets hand out medals, those would be a perfect souvenir for the swimmers. “[A medal] means a lot. I would be really excited,” de Leeuw said. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Harper eyeing B.C. senior title Nanaimo’s Sandy Harper is taking full advantage of homecourse advantage. The golfer held a seven-stroke lead at the B.C. Golf senior men’s championships after two rounds this week at the Nanaimo Golf Club. Harper, a member of the club, held a lead after the first round but might have had an even greater edge had he not bogeyed the last three holes Monday to take him to even par. On Tuesday he shot a round of 68, four under par “Today I got off to a fast start to get things back on track,” he said in a B.C. Golf press release Tuesday. The final round was played Wednesday after press time. For results and a photo, please visit www.nanaimobulletin. com.

Nanaimo Clippers adding American talent to lineup The Nanaimo Clippers searched far and wide to find two new players for the upcoming season. The city’s B.C. Hockey League club announced this week the signings of two United States Hockey League players, forwards
Reid Sturos and Mike McNicholas. Sturos, six-foot-two, 180 pounds, played for the Alexandria Blizzard last year, where he tallied 20 goals, 29 assists and 30 penalty minutes in 54 games. “He brings great speed and
adds skill to our lineup,” said Mike Vandekamp, Clippers general manager, in a press release. “Reid is a very good two-way player and has a solid work ethic.” Sturos, a 1992-born player from Brighton, Mich.,
already has an NCAA scholarship to Michigan Tech. McNicholas, a six-foot, 180-pounder from Manhattan Beach, Calif. played last season with the Muskegon Lumberjacks, scoring five goals in 48 games. Vandekamp said the
18-year-old McNicholas “will add much-needed skill and offence to our forward group.” He, too, is off to the NCAA, with a scholarship already in the bag to the University of New Hampshire. TELUS AUTHORIZED DEALERS

On July 13 at approximately 9:20 p.m., an employee of a downtown business was robbed while making a night deposit at the CIBC bank at Port Place shopping centre. The 47-year-old female had just opened the doors to the lobby containing the ATMs and night deposit drop when a male approached from behind. She was thrown to the ground and the suspect jumped on top of her. The female fought back, but the male managed to grab her money bag. He ran into the parking lot and was last seen heading in the direction of the Subway restaurant. The female was sore but otherwise uninjured. The suspect is described as wearing all black with a black ball cap. His face was not seen, but he appeared to have a dark complexion.
Fraudster scams senior of her money On July 4, a Nanaimo senior fell prey to a fraudster who took almost $1,000 dollars of her hard-earned money. The 91-year-old, residing at the Kiwanis Village on Nelson Street was approached by an adult male claiming to be her nephew. The senior was on her outside deck at apporoximately 1:30 p.m. when the male approached. After convincing her he was her nephew, he said he needed the money so he could get his car fixed. He indicated he would pay her back immediately. She travelled with him on the No. 3 bus to the CIBC bank in the Country Club Centre, went inside and withdrew the money. The male stayed outside during the transaction. The senior then walked outside and handed the money over. After receiving the money, the male left the area immediately. The suspect is a white male in his late 20s, approximately 5’5” and scruffy looking. He has short red hair and was wearing a silver/red windbreaker.

DBL squad plays finale
Prospect plays for four different teams Nobody’s bouncing around the lacrosse box more than Alex McDougall these days. The defender suited up for his fourth different team this month on Sunday when he scored a hat trick for the Langley Warriors in a 12-9 loss to the Nanaimo DBL Timbermen in senior B action. After finishing the season with his junior A Nanaimo Timbermen, McDougall signed on with the DBL squad. Then on Saturday he went to Frank
Crane Arena to operate the scoreboard at that night’s Western Lacrosse Association game, and ended up being recruited by T-men coach Art Webster to play that night against the Maple Ridge Burrards. Sunday’s strange situation of playing against the DBL Timbermen came about because McDougall’s former Team B.C. coach, of the Langley Warriors, asked the youngster to suit up for that under-manned team. McDougall took the challenge
so seriously that he not only scored three goals, but also took a couple of penalties including a fighting major. “It’s all part of the game and as soon as the shift’s done, that’s where it ends,” he said. Donning so many different jerseys might be confusing, but McDougall doesn’t mind. “My junior season was short because I was injured half my season, so I’ll take any chance to play lacrosse I can,” he said. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

The Nanaimo DBL Timbermen close out their regular season Friday (July 20) with a road game versus the North Shore Indians. If the T-men (11-7) defeat the last-placed Indians (2-14-0-1), they get the No. 4 playoff seed and home-floor advantage in the first round.

Katie Davidson, left, Emma Hsueh and Jean-Michel Hanssens catch salmon fry for removal from Beck Creek prior to gravel added to the stream’s bed.
Salmon habitat refurbished
Friday the 13th was a lucky day for coho fry in Beck Creek with the delivery of spawning gravel to spruce up their living quarters. Beck Creek is a five-kilometre stream that flows out of Beck Lake, under the Island Highway to the ocean near Maki Road. T h e l o w e r t wo kilometres are good salmon habitat, but the fish needed a little
more gravel to spawn in. The Harbour City River Stewards took up the cause, helping place 26 tonnes of custom-mixed gravel into a spawning channel that was built in 1995 when the Island Highway was widened. Four months in the planning and approval stage with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, the project required an engineer
to design a series of spawning grounds, with just the right mix of river rock for the fish. More than 1,000 salmon and trout fry were captured from the 100-metre section of stream and placed in a nearby pool before gravel was placed in the channel. The stewards plan a similar project for Departure Creek in August.

wheels Mitsubishi’s RVR has get-up-and-go I CROSSOVER ISN’T a road rocket, but it has other strengths. BY NEIL MOORE
ower can be an obsession among those who write about automobiles. And manufacturers, to their credit, have readily obliged – sometimes where it’s needed, and sometimes where it isn’t. When the Mitsubishi RVR debuted in late 2010, I heard a few journos gripe about its getup-and-go. Fair comment for a sports sedan, or any vehicle that carries some pretence of performance. But for Mitsu’s new compact crossover, I’m not sure potential buyers would be
usurped the larger and more powerful Outlander as Mitsu’s top-selling vehicle. What’s even more impressive is that it did so in its first
production year, logging 7,064 vehicle sales in 2011 versus 5,711 for its sibling. The RVR is also ahead in its use of space. It provides
substantially more cargo room with all seats in place (569 litres) and with its 60/40 seats folded flat (1,382L). ◆ See ‘CROSSOVER’ /B13

expecting anything close to a tire shredding thrill ride. I recently put in a week of testing in the RVR, and after the first two minutes would concede that that the RVR is no road rocket. Even a brief look at the specs would confirm that this family vehicle was more suited to getting a load of groceries than setting a record at the Nurburgring. Its 2.0-litre DOHC inline four cylinder with continuously variable transmission is adequate for this vehicle’s 1,400-kilogram curb weight, but with only 148 horsepower, you’re not going to keep up with some competitors in the segment. But at the RVR’s prices, it’s no wonder this vehicle has

McLaren’s new 12C is its most invigorating yet
I PHOTO SUBMITTED
McLaren is working on a series of improvements to the MP4-12C supercar that will bring the vehicle’s output to 616 horsepower and improve acceleration without sacrificing fuel efficiency.
MP4-12C SUPERCAR increases output of V8 engine to 616 horses.
McLaren Automotive announced it intends to make its 12C high performance sports car more invigorating to drive yet even easier to live with. Headlining the changes is a power increase that takes the maximum output of the mid-mounted, twin turbocharged V8 engine to 616 horsepower to give more acceleration at track speeds with no loss in efficiency. McLaren’s Formula 1 background means that driv-
ers get technologies such as brake steer, where the inside rear wheel is braked during high-speed cornering. McLaren’s engineers have made modifications to the 12C’s engine and transmission to increase responsiveness. The automaker is also lauding a host of other changes including a wider variety of paint, leather and wheel options. The 12C’s intake sound generator system, which controls the amount of engine intake sound heard in the cabin, is now programmable across three levels. The 12C will go into production later this year.

Drivers of the Hyundai Elantra GT Zombie Survival Machine won’t have to worry about their brains being eaten by the undead after the concept vehicle debuted recently at San Diego’s Comic-Con.
Hyundai outsmarts zombies I ELANTRA CONCEPT gives drivers peace of mind.
Zombies may as well go pick on someone in a convertible – they sure aren’t going to get into this Hyundai. Much to the dismay of zombies around the world, the Elantra GT Zombie Survival Machine was unveiled recently at San Diego’s Comic-Con. The customized coupe, designed by The Walking Dead creator/writer Robert Kirkman and fabricated by Design
Craft, was revealed on the Comic-Con floor at the Future U.S. booth. Hyundai’s Zombie Survival Machine showcases modifications including a front-end custom zombie plow with spikes, armored window coverings, a roof hatch to allow passengers to go on the offensive, a trunk full of electric and pneumatic weaponry, front and back end floodlights, spiked all-terrain/rally type tires, a CB radio system and more. “Working with Hyundai on this Zombie Survival Machine was a total blast and I am
excited to share this stunning vehicle with all the fans,” said Kirkman. Fans can view a series of behind-the-scenes videos that detail the creation of the Zombie Survival Machine and showcase the car build from start to finish at www.hyundaiundead.com. The Hyundai Undead program celebrates the release of the 100th issue of The Walking Dead d comic. In addition to the Zombie Survival Machine, Kirkman and Hyundai also created a Hyundai Elantra GT wrapped in the cover of 100th issue by artist Charlie Adlard.

◆ From /B10 The RVR’s look is fairly mainstream, resembling a smaller, lower Outlander, but sharing its jet-fighter front end. This signature element is one that still hasn’t grown old, and gives Mitsubishi vehicles a bold first impression. From the side, the RVR has a strong character line with a rear-sloping roof to give it a sporty, aggressive profile. Optional 18-inch rims inside big wheel arches, and spoiler over the rear window add to its athleticism.
Fit and finish inside my GT 4WD tester was good with tight seams and no squeaks or rattles. The cabin included standard soft-touch materials around the vents, on the dash, upper door panels, and armrests, along with some GT-only bling like chrome accents around the shifter, AWD selector and HVAC knobs. The GT trim level also gets you automatic as opposed to manual climate control, pushbutton start, colour multi-info display, rain-sensing wipers, and

The GT’s nine-speaker audio system comes with six-disc CD changer, three-band equalization and speed compensated volume. This model also includes a massive panoramic sunroof over both rows of seating. My tester was further upgraded with the GT Premium package that includes perforated leather seating surfaces , power driver’s seat, navi-
gation with music server, lane guidance system, real-time traffic info and rear view camera. Even the base ES provides air conditioning, tilt/telescopic steering wheel with cruise control, power windows, keyless entry and heated front seats. Even if the RVR can’t muster heart-pounding performance, it is delivering most of what people want in a compact crossover, getting it off to a strong start in the sales race.

A HUGE BOUQUET OF AWESOMENESS to Ed and Linda (the bird rescuers) who came out to Yellow Point to rescue a bald eagle with a bad wing. After Ed tried to place a towel over the bird, it jumped off a steep cliff into the ocean. Ed jumped in after it and brought it to safety. I am truly amazed at your dedication. Great job to you both.
PINK ROSES AND MANY THANKS to June and Matt from J & D Montgomery Renovations, our great tiler Bill Gott, plumbers Dave and Don from Norm’s Mobile Services, Trevor from Watts Electrical, and Krystalyne from Mid Island Cabinets for the great bathroom renovation. HUGE BUNCHES OF ROSES to Olivia, manager of the London Drugs photo department in Port Place Shopping Centre, for making special arrangements to get the phone I need, despite it being beyond the rules and policies. Olivia went the extra mile to help me.
THANKS to two B.C. Ferries crew members: Wendy from first aid and Lisa, who we believe is in the food service department. These two women saved the life of our little dog on board the 6:55 p.m. ferry from Horseshoe Bay to Departure Bay recently. The entire crew was helpful, but these two ladies were amazing.
A BOUQUET to the organizers of the seniors table tennis at Departure Bay. It has afforded me competition, fun, laughter and happiness. Thank you, friends.
A BIG BOUQUET OF ROSES to Cole Renner for organizing the “Remove the Stigma” golf tournament in support of Canadian Mental Health Association. A great time was had by all and $2,300 raised for the association. Thanks as well to all the donors of auction items.
COOLING SWIMS to our new Nanaimo News Bulletin paper carriers – a young family. SPECIAL BOUQUETS for mom and dad and the example they set for their young ones.
A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to the coaching staff of the Nanaimo White Rapids Swim Club. You have all helped make this one of the best summer swimming seasons yet.
A THANK YOU BOUQUET to Rhonda for driving me to the hospital. It takes all kinds of people to make a world. Unfortunately, there aren't enough of your kind.
GREAT BIG BOUQUETS to Gallazin Locksmiths and Bavarian Motors. When the lock came out of my car door recently, both of these amazing local companies helped me get it back together, free of charge. Talk about super customer service.
A HUGE BOUQUET OF EXOTIC AND RARE ORCHIDS to Auto Check Automotive. It’s rare to find an automotive maintenance and repair business that’s as honest, trustworthy and knowledgeable as they are. They do not take advantage of elderly customers like me. A HUGE THANK YOU to the team at Quality Foods at Northridge Centre for helping us put together our Emterra Company picnic. There are not many companies like yours out there anymore that believe in oldfashioned customer service and go that extra mile. Thank you for truly believing in the total satisfaction of every customer.

STACKS OF PRETTY ROSES to a couple lovely "couponers" for really going out of their way to help our family by surprising us with some items for us parents and some gifts of necessities for our children. There are thoughtful, kind and generous people out there and I will most definitely pay it foward.

A BIG BEEF F to people who think their dog can do whatever it wants in off-leash dog areas. If your dog is aggressive or jumps up on people and you cannot stop your animal from doing this, you should not be in the off-leash area. AN OVERCOOKED SLAB OF BEEF F to slow drivers on the Island Highway who block both lanes and drive under the speed limit. The speed limit is 80 km/h in the north end and it gradually drops down to 50 km/h. The speed limit is posted everywhere and is quite visible. A BEEF F to business people who put a sign on their door stating they will be “back in an hour” or “back soon” without putting a time on it. Please let us know what time you will be back. My time is better spent going to another store rather than waiting or coming back two or three times to see the same sign.

A RESTFUL BOUQUET to my grandmother, who went out of her way to ensure my vacation was relaxing and fun. From doing all of the meal planning to encouraging me to spend time curled up with my book, I returned to work feeling more rested than I have for a while.
DOZENS OF ROSES to the nice ladies who helped when my dog cut his foot on a walk by the B.C. Ferries terminal. Lauren – I can't thank you enough for keeping me calm and for your friendly nature and help. To the staff at DB Vet – thanks so much for taking him right away and being so kind. My puppy thanks you all, too.

A BEEF F to the owners of a very messy front yard in north Nanaimo.
A BOUQUET to my wife for the B.C. Lions football tickets. I know you're not a sports fan, but you are a generous, loving person. We will enjoy the game and look forward to meeting up with you later in Vancouver. A BOUQUET to our strata council. As volunteers you put up with a lot of crap from the clique and still do a great job. Don't let those whiners get to you.
A HUGE, SUNNY THANK YOU BOUQUET to Huey and Rosemary McNaughton for looking after our house while we were away. We enjoyed our vacation and had peace of mind knowing you were looking out for us. Also thank you for helping me diagnose my sunscreen allergy and the advice on fixing my skin. We really appreciate all you have done. A HUGE BOUQUET OF SUMMER FLOWERS to everyone in our neighbourhood who helped us find our cat, Dante. We are so happy and grateful. SMELLING SALTS for the garbage collectors. Those trucks smell vile in the heat. I don’t know how you do your job. A BEEF F to businesses that take your money, but do not do the job properly.
A NOISY BEEF F to people who turn on their car alarms on B.C. Ferries vessels. As soon as the boat starts moving, the vibrations set off the alarm, treating other passengers to a loud and annoying sound until the owner is asked to turn it off. The alarms also upset dogs in nearby vehicles, who are not able to go upstairs to escape the racket. A BEEF F to the fellow who moseyed over to where I was watching the ball game, stood literally a metre away from me, and proceeded to light up a cigar. A BIG BEEF F to the young lady driving her black car in the passing lane on the Island Highway recently. Shame on you for texting while driving. You drove like you were drunk and other drivers were looking out for you. Driving is a privilege. A BEEF F to businesses that assume all customers have access to a computer. Some seniors on pensions have to choose between food or a computer. Do these businesses not have a phone?
This Week’s Winner TITIA JETTEN wins a bouquet from Turley’s Florist.
