Two brothers plead guilty to manslaughter
I
michael brophy died at Grizzly bar. By Karl yu
THe NewS bULLeTIN
The brothers c h a rg e d i n t h e 2006 death of Gabriola Island resident Michael Brophy are scheduled to be sentenced Friday (April 25) in Nanaimo. Timothy Maybin entered a guilty plea to manslaughter earlier in the month, while his brother, Matthew Maybin, entered a guilty plea to assault causing bodily harm, according to Crown counsel Carmen Rogers. Timothy Maybin and Matthew Maybin, who were 20 and 23 respectively at the time, were both charged with manslaughter following an October 2006 incident at the former Grizzly Bar at the Howard Johnson Hotel. The brothers were alleged to have fought with Brophy, who was 20 when
he died after being beaten unconscious. Buddha Gains, a bouncer at the bar and 39-years-old at the time, was charged with assault causing bodily harm, after he allegedly p u n c h e d B ro p h y while he was unconscious. Brophy died from internal bleeding in the brain. The three were acquitted in 2008 after a judge ruled that it could not be determined who struck the fatal blow or whether the three acted together. The Crown appealed the acquittals in 2010. The brothers appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada, but the judges upheld the provincial court decision and a re-trial was ordered in 2012, according to Rogers. The trial was scheduled to start in May. Rogers said Gains is expected to enter a guilty plea to assault causing bodily harm on the same day as the brothers’ sentencing. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

A 77-year-old woman died from injuries sustained in a two-vehicle crash on Applecross Road Monday evening. The crash happened at about 8:45 p.m. when the woman, who was driving north on the 6500 block of Applecross Road, and her car collided with another car that was merging into traffic. Police said they believe the collision caused the woman to lose control of her car, which spun across the road and came to a stop after hitting a tree. The victim was rushed to Nanaimo Regional General Hospital, but later died. Three occupants of the other vehicle were not injured and remained at the scene. Several pedestrians, who were in the area at the time, spoke with investigators. B.C. Coroners Service attended and is helping Nanaimo RCMP’s Municipal Traffic Unit with its investigation. The woman’s family has been notified of her death, but the victim’s name has not been released. The investigation into the crash is continuing and Nanaimo RCMP is asking for any other potential witnesses to the crash to contact the RCMP Municipal Traffic Unit at 250-754-2345.

ONcOlOGiSt iN Nanaimo once per week.
By Tamara Cunningham The News bulleTiN
Nanaimo-area residents are calling for better cancer services north of the Malahat, after the B.C. Cancer Agency scaled back access to the city’s only medical oncologist. The B.C Cancer Agency moved Dr. Carole Most, the only medical oncologist based north of Victoria, from Nanaimo to its Vancouver Island Centre in Victoria last October for four days a week. The cancer agency says the move was necessary for Most to collaborate with other oncologists and become a specialist, and that the shuffle has not affected cancer care for Nanaimo patients. The medical oncologist is still available by phone and video conference and is taking patients at the city’s community cancer clinic once a week. There are also two general practitioners of oncology still at the clinic. But residents say asking patients to discuss their battle with cancer via video conference, wait for an appointment or drive south to Victoria for inperson visits is an erosion of service. They question the rationale behind centralizing the Island’s cancer specialists in Victoria, which now has 15 full-time equivalent oncologists,

Jocelyn Pedersen, cancer patient, wants to see a return to having an oncologist on staff five days a week at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital.
pointing out that driving south can add stress and could be a problem if a disaster prevented people from crossing the Malahat. They are calling for the return of the oncologist five days a week and greater community cancer services for residents living between Duncan and Port Hardy. “We were totally shocked and all of us were in tears when [the oncologist] told us about this, having to go to Victoria,” said cancer patient Jocelyn Pedersen. “I mean, to ask for one doctor to be able to stay a
week instead of [going to] Victoria isn’t much when you have [15] in Victoria. We are not asking for the moon or anything.” The cancer clinic at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital saw a medical oncologist hired three years ago. Patient visits increased from almost 3,000 to 3,500 by 2012, prompting a $1.8 million clinic renovation. In the 2013-13 fiscal year, the clinic reports 7,034 patient visits, including 3,421 faceto-face visits with a physician. Now, in-person visits to
Vandals strike Uplands school
the oncologist in Nanaimo have been scaled back and patients want to see that move reversed. Bette Ainsworth, a threetime cancer survivor and clinic volunteer, said the loss of in-person access is unfair to patients and she hears complaints in the chemotherapy room in which she volunteers. “We’d really like to have at least one,” Ainsworth said. “I think really [we] require two or three to handle the traffic that we get but even if we have one, we’d all feel better.” Reg Hawkes, a Nanoose Bay resident with colon cancer, said his oncologist is a champion for his care. He doesn’t want to communicate by video. “If you have cancer and you are losing the battle, do you really want to sit and talk to a microphone and look at a TV set to talk to your doctor? It’s not really warm,” he said. Hawkes wants more services for patients outside the province’s capital including a cancer centre for the central and North Island. “We are all paying taxes and they are all dumping it into the Victoria clinic. It’s a gorgeous place. It’s a palace. And up here we don’t even have one oncologist [full-time],” he said. In an e-mail, a spokesperson for the B.C. Cancer Agency acknowledged change can be upsetting for patients. There are no plans to build a second cancer centre on Vancouver Island.
Uplands Park Elementary School was once again the target of vandals over the long weekend. Several windows were smashed when vandals broke in through a door on the west side of the building at about 7:30 p.m. Monday. They also broke two classroom windows on the same side of the building. The culprits then went through a hallway, but were unable to get into classrooms, which are locked at night to prevent theft. Instead they knocked over chairs and a trolley cart in one of the building’s hallways before fleeing. “Security was on scene by 7:45 p.m., but there was nobody around,” said Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman. Estimated cost to repair the windows is about $600. O’Brien said the school installed a Mosquito device to deter young people from loitering. In January of last year, vandals lit a fire in a patio area of the school and attempted to break in. In February 2012, vandals smashed the school’s windows and smeared dog feces on doors. Three teens were arrested for that incident, vandalism at Randerson Ridge Elementary School and for breaking into a nearby construction site.

Health Canada issues first-ever marijuana recall A B.C. medical marijuana company has been temporarily removed from Health Canada’s list of licensed producers in the wake of its voluntary recall last week. Greenleaf Medicinals, a company with a Nanaimo postal box, issued a voluntar y recall for Purple Kush or batch PK-10-20-13, on April 18 after a Health Canada inspection found issues around “processes that affect quality control, good production practices and oversight” which includes potential residues from use of unregistered pesticides and unsanitary production conditions. Greenleaf informed Health Canada that it’s working with other licensed producers to find a different supply of marijuana for 63 clients affected by the recall. Clients are being told to either return the product to the company via a secure courier or destroy it at home.
Misunderstanding leads to fines for tree cutting
I
clEariNg fEll within aquatic setback at new development. By Karl yu The News BulleTiN
Remediation planning is underway after 20 trees were cut down without permit at the Songbird Place development near Rutherford Road. The trees were cut down due to a miscommunication, according to Windley Contracting Ltd. manager Jeff Windley. “There were some trees cut down but it wasn’t solely our fault and it’s all been resolved and fines have been laid,” said Windley. “It was a misunderstanding – everyone thought everything was in place and there was just a misunderstanding, miscommunication, that’s all.” Alan Kemp, a City of Nanaimo urban forestry coordinator, agreed with Windley’s assessment. “They thought they had permission to cut down trees that were within an aquatic setback and that was not the case,”

There was just miscommunication, that’s all.
Kemp said. “They … were only given permission to remove trees outside of the aquatic setback.” Windley Contracting will work with the city’s parks, recreation and environment department to finalize a remediation plan. Kemp said the contractor has been cooperative. After all the information is sorted out, the amount of fines will be made public. “It’s been a good relationship and we’ve been able to work things out and occasionally a miscommunication does happen and they realized the error of their ways and we’re moving forward and they’re adding extra plantings to the restoration plan,” Kemp said.

Terry Knight, co-founder of Inuktun Services who now works with Seamor Marine, presented the idea he developed with his friend Phil Nuytten, owner of Nuytco Research out of North Vancouver, which develops and manufactures submersible craft. Knight, who calls the museum the Deep Discover Centre, said the discussions are in their preliminary stages, but he and Nuytten talked about the idea for several years – to create an interactive museum on Nanaimo’s waterfront showcasing B.C.’s contributions to submersible marine technology development. “Few people in British Columbia appreciate what sub-sea companies here have contributed to the industry,” Knight said. “It really is huge.” Nuytten, who invented a rotary joint that revolutionized diving systems through the Exosuit, often called the Newt Suit, an underwater hard-shell diving suit that allows divers to work for hours at
depths of more than 300 metres, would contribute artifacts from a number of B.C. companies. “Part of the process moving forward is looking at what sites are most appropriate,” said Sasha Angus, CEO of the economic development corporation. “These projects are large in nature so they can take upwards of a year or two, but as soon as we have some of the initial proposals in hand we want to reach out to all of our partners, all of the other organizations that we do business with, to help say how we’re going to move it down the field.” Upcoming and completed projects were also presented at the meeting, along with results of surveys conducted on the region’s various economic sectors. Through 2014, the corporation will continue working to help germinate startup businesses by creating coworking spaces, such as Square One, in partnership with Innovation Island. The space is slated to open in July. “Our return on investment sometimes is a little different from return on investment in the private sector,” Angus said. “Our interest is to grow more companies and have more employment in the region … We don’t take royalties on those sort of things traditionally, but it’s in our interest that we have that space and that companies continue to grow and provide employment in the community.” To see survey results presented at the meeting, please visit www. investnanaimo.com.

Guide dogs create special bond with owner By Chris Bush The News bulleTiN
The most likely place you’ll find a guide dog is where the signs say “No dogs allowed.” Barb Moody and Sky, a 21-month-old yellow Labrador, are getting to know one another, forming a bond Moody thought she might not find again after her previous guide dog Heidi died after they were together for about 10 years. “Ultimately I couldn’t get around, and I missed my friend,” said Moody. Moody has retinitus pigmentosa, which has left her with no peripheral vision. It’s like looking at the world through two straws, allowing a perfectly clear, but extremely narrow field of view. As she ages, that view is getting narrower – it’s currently about 1.5 per cent of a normally sighted person’s field of vision – and it’s Sky’s job to watch out for everything Moody can’t see, like cars, chairs and people that, if encountered unexpectedly, could result in serious harm. “I can seen an eagle in a tree at 300 yards if it’s in that little tiny bit of central
vision, but I can’t see the dog, I can’t see obstacles, I can’t see curbs,” Moody said. It takes about 20 weeks or 100 hours to train a guide dog and about another month for the recipient and dog to develop a functional working relationship. It’ll take about another six months before they get fully mentally synched, but there’s already a strong emotional bond. “Her birthday is in July,” Moody said. Sky and Heidi both came from B.C. and Alberta Guide Dog Services. Operating solely from fundraisers and private donations, the Lower Mainland-based charity is able to produce about 15 to 20 trained dogs per year. There are 111,000 visually impaired people in B.C. To counter the wait list, some people turn to U.S.-based guide dog training schools, but there are still very few guide dogs working on the Island. “The cost from the time the dog’s born to the end of its training is about $30,000 to train each dog,” said Nick Toni, guide dog mobility instructor.
The recipients feed and care for the dogs, which includes paying veterinary costs. “Most people who have a guide dog, they’re not bothered about buying food and paying for vet costs and what have you,” Toni said. Sky graduated earlier this month. When guide dogs graduate they shed their light blue training vests. Without the vest, Moody said, people often still recognize them because of their special harnesses, but when people haven’t recognized them as guide dogs Moody has been refused entrance to restaurants, buses and other areas regulations prohibit pets. “All service dog owners will have proper identification that they will present,” Moody said. People often want to approach and pet guide dogs in malls and other public areas. Moody said that distracts the dog from the task she set for it and can have serious consequences.

Call renews hope of finding missing man The Canadian Centre for Child Protection’s Missing Kids program has issued a plea for the public to contact the organization with any information about Lucas Degerness, who has been missing for seven years. What triggered the action was a phone call last week from a man who claimed to be Degerness.
dEGERNESS
Degerness, who is from Prince George, B.C., ran away from
home in June 2007 at the age of 14 and had not been heard from until the phone call that came through the Missing Kids’ tollfree, anonymous tip line, likely originating in Western Canada. Anyone with information about Degerness is asked to call Missing Kids at 1-866-543-8477 or visit www.missing kids.ca.

EDITORIAL
Put pupils first in school budget School district budgeting isn’t just about addition and subtraction – it takes some seriously advanced mathematics. The Nanaimo school district’s preliminary budget, tabled this month, calculated a nightmarish shortfall of $5.4 million. There won’t be any easy choices – trustees basically have to decide between doling out disappointment or dismay. Right away, the board served notice it will consider cutting not only teachers and support staff, but also administrators and trustees, a signal that the pain could be shared equitably. B.C. has 60 school districts dealing with similar issues and a lot of trustees brainstorming, but unfortunately it takes a lot of nickels and dimes to dent a multimilliondollar shortfall. Public education is underfunded, but at the same time, throwing money at the problem can only do so much. We need restraint, flexibility and creativity. We all have our fond or not-so-fond memories of how school used to be back in the old days. Times have changed. Cities have sprawled, families are smaller, students live farther apart, enrolment has declined and for all those reasons, education can’t be delivered with the same economies of scale. It’s frustrating, during budget time, to talk in terms of ‘delivery of education’ when schools do infinitely more. They’re about interactions and friendships, life lessons, achievement and growth. They’re places to pursue hobbies and interests, arts and culture, sports and recreation. They’re libraries, daycares, hangouts. They must continue to be all of these things. As the board balances its books, children must be the first consideration and we trust that they will be. And things will turn out OK. Pupils can handle dog-eared textbooks, outdated computers, long bus rides and occasional gaps in supervision. Kids are tough and they’ll accept school for what it is. We need to be tough, too – suffer these cuts, if we must, and no matter what, never stop teaching, challenging and engaging our kids.

Updated data is due this year, but what we have shows a 5.7 per cent decrease in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases between 2007 and 2011.

But since the economy has recovered and begun to grow again, emissions have continued to decline. u There are simple things anyone can do, without gimmicks or government programs. One would be to stop protesting increased housing density in your community. By far the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in B.C., not to mention old-fashioned pollution, is transportation. By living closer to where we work, shop and play, we can exercise our legs instead of just our gas pedal foot to get around. u Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

To the Editor,
last month and the other 12 years ago, wanting to give me hope. Your earlier coverage about the Walk for ALS on the mid Island helped save this huge fundraising event and on that note, I have entered the walk in the hopes of raising $5,000. Thank you all for your support.

Re: Incinerator project draws threat of lawsuit from city, April 17. Nanaimo city council made a strong and commendable decision regarding the issue of a Duke Point location for Metro Vancouver’s planned waste-toenergy incinerator. The unanimous message that Nanaimo will not be passively placed at risk, is a clear expression of our community’s democratic right to self-determination regarding our citizens’ health and economic well-being.
Carla Stein Nanaimo
To the Editor,
Re: Incinerator project draws threat of lawsuit from city, April 17. When you refer to the proposed incinerator for Nanaimo as WTE, I believe you are leaving out two letters. It should read WTEAP, which stands for waste-to-energy-and-pollution. Pollution on several accounts: the pollution created by loading and dragging the garbage across the Strait of Georgia and then unloading it, plus the pollution from the burning and the leftover ash. If it’s such a good idea why doesn’t Vancouver incinerate the garbage in its own city? Think of all the energy they’ll produce, and money they will save, by not transporting it to somebody else’s backyard..

Re: Time to tear up incinerator plan, Editorial, April 17. Your editorial plays to a noisy placard-waving mob which flooded council with form letters and jammed council chambers, some not even knowing what WTE stands for, let alone having researched unbiased information on waste-to-energy. A minority throng of NIMBYs, including this paper, has not given a hoot that the Regional District of Nanaimo ships some of our trash and recyclables across the strait. Where are these same protesters and writers when it comes to screaming about this? Saying there was overwhelming public opinion against a plant at the Duke Point industrial site, set up in the 1970s for this type of industry, is dead wrong. It was a small and vocal minority spewing out poisonous and erroneous information. In this case, naysayers yelled before all information on the WTE could be legally released. If this same attitude was around 100 years ago most of us, maybe this city, would not be around today. There would have been protests over coal mining, logging, lumber mills, pulp mills and fishing. Nanaimo would just be a dimple on a map with high unemployment, a lot of welfare and a place for gang mentality.

Junior T-men play for real
Acme Timbermen tough to play against I SENIOR B club opens season at home.
The Nanaimo Timbermen juniors will take their first whack at the regular season. The city’s B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League club starts the regular season this Saturday (April 26) with a road game against the Delta Islanders. The schedule is challenging, said Ken Morrison, the team’s new head coach. With Delta this week and the New Westminster Salmonbellies and the Coquitlam Adanacs next weekend, Nanaimo is facing three of the league’s favoured teams. Any success against that sort of opposition would not only help in the standings, but would also help a T-men team that doesn’t really know how to win. “I don’t think they do yet, that’s the biggest thing,” Morrison said. “For the last two years it’s been tough on them. What I was able to tell these kids is, we’re going to get better.” Something that Nanaimo’s junior team has learned over the years is that the season is too short to have a slow start. The T-men think they have a good team this year; not only do they plan to win games, they want to win right away. “It’s so important. We need to get rolling,” said Brett Fleming, T-men veteran. “We’ve started 0-5 or whatever both years I’ve played. It would be huge if we could start the year out with a couple wins. I think you’d get the fans on board a lot more and it would help everybody.”
BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
One thing about the senior B Timbermen is they always seem to be ready to go at the start of the season. The team has made something of a tradition of starting the West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association season with winning results, and there are a few reasons why, said coach Mike Maughan. First of all, they usually have enough roster numbers so that guys are trying hard to make the team. Another factor is that over the years, they’ve established their home floor as a tough place for opponents to come play. “Anytime we start with home games, we’re usually tough to beat no matter what stage of the year,” said Maughan. “It also speaks, maybe, to the pride of playing for the Timbermen. You know you’re going to have to come out and play hard.” That will be the goal this Saturday (April 26), as the Acme Painting Timbermen host the Royal City Capitals. “It’ll be good senior B lacrosse,” said Shawn Swanson, the team’s general manager. “We’ll have some kinks to work out with some new guys, and being our first game. [It’s] a pretty big one

because it’s a game we should win.” Just because it’s a new season doesn’t mean the T-men are starting over. They will return most of the guys who competed at the Presidents Cup national championships in 2013. Jon Diplock is back to lead the offence, complemented by fellow right-handers Ryan Clark and Rick Fields and lefties Blair Pinnock, Ryan Forslund and Steve Higgs. Aaron Vanderhorst and Ryan Dietterle are transition threats, and more
defensive toughness comes from Graeme Ross and additions Brad Dougan and Kyle McInnis. Kyle Couling is also in the mix on D, though he’s sidelined to start the year. A l l t h re e g o a l i e s return; Nick Patterson, Danny Walters and Pat Mallough should all have opportunities to contribute. “It’s looking pretty good so far,” said Maughan. “It’s still early and it feels like the season’s creeping up on us pretty fast. Not a lot of time to evaluate some
Nanaimo News Bulletin 21
of the new players, but we’re definitely feeling good about the core group of veterans that we’re bringing back.” It helps, he said, for a coach to know what to expect: a team that can play a high-octane, freewheeling game and still be tough and physical. Swanson hopes for a big crowd for the home opener, set for 6 p.m. at the Nanaimo Ice Centre. “There’s no other games on that night,” he said. “Hopefully Nanaimo comes out and supports us.”

Outdoor swimming pool holds appeal
Pirates please crowd The Nanaimo Pirates played some fanfriendly baseball in their home opener, and there’s more home games to look forward to right away. The Hub City Paving Pirates host doubleheaders against the Coquitlam Reds on Saturday (April 26) and the North Shore Twins on Sunday at Serauxmen Stadium. Last Saturday the Pirates played the Victoria Eagles, losing 1-0 and then winning 8-7 with a walk-off grand slam. “To watch a 1-0 ball game, that’s a good game, and then to come back and get that [walk-off win], you don’t see that very often,” said Keith Radix, assistant coach. “We definitely followed through with providing some entertainment.” This Saturday’s B.C. Premier Baseball League games are scheduled for noon and 2:30 p.m. and Sunday’s action goes at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Admission to the ballpark is $3 for a single game or $5 for a doubleheader.
Summer fun like it is supposed to be. That’s the unofficial slogan for the Nanaimo White Rapids, our city’s summer swim club which is ready to hit the pool for another season of recreational and competitive swimming. The club was formed back in 1966 and has since established a reputation for providing top-notch swimming instruction in an enjoyable atmosphere of camaraderie. Each year, the White Rapids operates from the beginning of May until near the end of August. Headquarters for the club is the heated outdoor Kin Pool in Bowen Park, which the club operates in a co-management arrangement with the City of Nanaimo. As a member of the B.C. Summer Swim Association, the White Rapids offers training and a series of meets for competitive young swimmers. The coaching staff is impressive. Head coaches for the club this year are Byron

first swimmer from a family and $300 for a second swimmer. A focus of the White Rapids club this summer will be to not only help young athletes learn and develop their swimming, but also give them great cross-training opportunities which will help strengthen and reduce injury in their winter sports. The club plans to host some multi-sport events such as a Splash and Dash. Water polo will be offered as well and this year there will be some community drop-in sessions for a small fee. Brad Cioban is running the program, hoping to increase interest and participation in water polo. There will be some drop in synchro sessions with Courtney Poulin for those who would like to try that activity. Also, sets of mini lessons will be offered in July and August. So, another busy summer swim season is all set to get underway at the Kin Pool. Whatever your sport, a reminder in closing to play your hardest, play fair, and show good sportsmanship. u Ian Thorpe writes about sports Thursdays.

Living off the grid Author Nikki van Schyndel shares her story of roughing it on a remote island in the Broughton Archipelago BY NICHOLAS PESCOD THE NEWS BULLETIN
F
or many people stuck in the daily nine-to-five grind, the idea of simply walking away from everything and living in some remote location of the world is merely nothing more than a pleasant daydream. For Nikki van Schyndel, it became reality. “I sold my home and walked away from my life,” van Schyndel said. In 2004, van Schyndel spent nearly two years living in a forest on Village Island, a remote island in the Broughton Archipelago. She was accompanied by her pet cat and friend, Micah Fay. When van Schyndel’s friends and family learned about her idea they thought she was losing it. They weren’t alone. “I thought I was, too,” she said laughing. Van Schyndel has since written a book about her experience living on Village Island. On Friday (April 25), she will share her experiences and read excerpts from her book, Becoming Wild, at Nanaimo’s Harbourfront Library. “We didn’t think we would ever come back here. It was the most amazing life I ever lived. You’re in perfect happiness every day. You’re truly living,” van Schyndel said. “We lived with particularly nothing and yet we had everything. What could possibly entice us to go back into town?” The idea to live in the wilderness began much earlier when van Schyndel had a “miraculous” encounter with a tree. “I didn’t even know anything about trees and frankly, I didn’t even care about trees but I was like, ‘why do I love this tree so much? It’s so beautiful,’” van Schyndel said. “So I had this crazy encounter with this tree and it sparked this interest and embarrassment actually that I didn’t know anything about my natural world and that was something I really loved as a kid.” Soon after the encounter, van Schyndel visited a bookstore, where she
purchased a field guide on trees and nature. She would then spend the next decade learning about the nature around her. “It really started me on this mission to learn about plants and everything you could do with them,” van Schyndel said. Eventually, van Schyndel attended Dominion Herbal College in Burnaby. She also attended a survivalist school in Bellingham, Wash., and was inspired to live a primitive lifestyle in the wilderness. “It was a home school kind of thing where you went once a week and I started learning about primitive skills,” she said. During the course of her studies, van Schyndel met fellow adventurist Fay. The two of them decided that after they had learned enough about how to survive in the wild, they would spend more than a year living on Village Island. “I decided to go on the coast. It was a landscape that both of us hadn’t really explored a lot of,” van Schyndel said. “It’s pretty isolated up there … It’s really a rugged coastline.” Van Schyndel remembered the moment she stood on Village Island with Fay and watched the water taxi sail away in the distance and wondered whether she had done the right thing. “It was really surreal when the water taxi dropped us off,” van Schyndel. “I had never been in the wilderness so much like that before and we didn’t really know each other very well either. So there was this moment where I was kind of looking at my partner wondering if I had made the right decision.” Fortunately, for van Schyndel and Fay it was the right decision, even though the first few weeks were extremely intense. “Of course we did argue a lot with each other in the beginning because we were competing with each other out there,” she said. “But we obviously ended up becoming the most incredible team.” See ‘ADJUSTING’ /B4

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Darlene!
By RosemaRy PhilliPs
What is your memory of the Beatles? I was just 13 when they arrived in North America. As a recent immigrant I was instantly popular, not for who I was but because I was English and had an accent. “Have you seen The Beatles?” I was often asked. In North America it was the British Invasion. Lennon and McCartney were writing pop songs with almost irrelevant words, but as their songwriting grew in sophistication, John, Paul, George and Ringo created a musical legacy that has transcended the world, and received countless honours and awards, including Grammy and Oscar. Fifty years later their songs are still enjoyed by all ages in just about every culture. “It’s music that will last forever, like classical music,” says Jean Meilleur, lead singer with the Jeans’N Classics Band. “You can’t say that about most popular music. In our history books the Beatles will be a massive root in the tree of popular music. I’ve always loved it, and it’s quite a moving experience to sing it.” Meilleur is a prolific singer-songwriter who has been performing professionally for more than 25 years, 16 of those as a Jeans’N Classics headliner singing with scores of major North American orchestras. “I sing songs by all four of the Beatles. This in itself is quite an experience because each of them had different musical inflections and tonal qualities. Their voices have become so ingrained in us over the years, and without conscious effort we pronounce certain words the same way
Thursday, April 24, 2014
Love and blessings from your family as
they did. This is proof positive as to how deeply the Beatles are ingrained in our musical minds.” On Saturday (April 26), Meilleur joins the Vancouver Island Symphony and the Jeans’N Classics Band for two shows at 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. at the Port Theatre for The Best of the Beatles. “We don’t imitate or dress up like the Beatles. What we present is more of a celebration of the Beatles’ music. And singing with an orchestra is such a rush. I literally get goose-bumps from just the beauty and the power behind the orchestral sound. It’s so intense, it’s awesome, and Pierre Simard is so good as conductor. He’s so emotional on stage.” Myself, I’ll always be a fan. It’s not just the music – it’s the memories and feelings that come flooding in. Tickets $42-$84; $20/students.

Adjusting to modern life difficult after living in the wilderness From /1
The situation on Village Island was, in many ways, similar to the concepts explored in the William Golding novel, Lord of the Flies. “In the very, very beginning we ran through all those problems that come up with people trying to live in really stressful situations,” she said. “At first we were like, ‘Oh my gosh I am doing more work than you’ or ‘I got the water two days in a row’. All these really petty little
things came up and immediately we said we can’t continue like this or we will end up dead. We really saw how you could progress to be someone like Piggy. We really saw that progression.” The experience became much more than just learning to survive. “It really became about learning about yourself,” van Schyndel said. “The concept that continued over and over for us was this idea of not what you know, but it’s the strength of your mind and your ability
to control your emotions. It is really what is in your heart. That’s the only way that for long-term living in survival situations is going to make you live. It’s not man versus wild. It’s man living with nature because otherwise it will get you.” After 19 months of living on Village Island, van Schyndel and Fay decided to return to civilization. Van Schyndel cited her family as the major reason for wanting to come home. “There was this idea that you
had no idea what your friends and family were doing and that they thought you could be dead,” she said. “I had no idea that would be what made me come sooner, was my family. I love my family.” Adjusting to life in a modernized society was no easy task. Van Schyndel had difficulties functioning in environments with unnatural light. “My eyes would be streaming with water from all the smells. I had a headache constantly. I
couldn’t have lights on in my mom’s apartment. I had to have candle light only. I couldn’t drive a car for weeks. I tried but you can see every single movement and I almost ended up crashing.” Today, van Schyndel resides in Echo Bay on Gilford Island. Van Schyndel’s talk begins at 6:30 p.m. She will also make an appearance at the Gabriola Library on Saturday (April 26) at 1 p.m. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Play focuses on parenting
I
NTG STAGeS award-winning production.
By Nicholas Pescod the News bulletiN
By all accounts parents Michael and Veronica Novak and Allan and Annette Raleigh are civilized adults. So when their children are involved in a dustup at a local park that leaves the Novaks’ son without some teeth, the Novaks decide to invite the Raleighs over to discuss the situation in a civilized manner. Unfortunately the discussion quickly turns from a civilized chat into a childish screaming match that would make John
McEnroe proud. That’s the premise behind the Nanaimo Theatre Group’s latest production, God of Carnage, which runs until May 3 at Bailey Studio. “It’s a comedy with real elements of truth in it,” director Peggy Harris explained. “We always do something a bit more edgy or off guard than the typical murder mystery.” To understand how edgy God of Carnage can get, the arguing between the Novaks and Raleighs becomes so intense that one of the adults refers to one of the children as a “snivelling little faggot.” “It’s very much the hockey parent mentality,” Harris said, laughing. God of Carnage, a Tony and Olivier
award-winning play, was written by French playwright Yasmin Reza and premiered in Switzerland in 2006. The Nanaimo Theatre Group’s cast includes Dave Bigelow (Allan Raleigh), Robb Mowbray (Michael Novak), Sherri McLean (Annette Raleigh) and Krista Endrizzi (Veronica Novak). “It’s a superb cast that I’ve been working with,” Harris said. “It’s really been fun putting it together.” T h e p ro d u c t i o n touches on a hand-

ful modern themes, including responsible parenting. Harris wants audience members to question how they would react if they were in the characters’ situations. “I wonder how most of us would behave if our children were attacked in that way?” Harris said. “Or when somebody starts questioning on our own parenting skills?” Single tickets for God of Carnage range from $18-$20.

DuO plAyS Gabriola’s big Fish festival.
By Nicholas Pescod The News bulleTiN
It was more than a decade ago when Victoria native and singer/songwriter Oliver Swain fell in love with the cultural orgy that can be found in Southeastern United States. “As a young artist from Canada I found myself becoming completely enthralled and fascinated with the rich musical traditions of the American South,” he said. Eventually, Swain, who had been a member in a handful of bands, got to the point where he had to travel to the Southeastern United States. “I went down there on a typical sixmonth sojourn into the mountains and I travelled all down the Appalachian Mountains and into the Delta playing music.” The next thing Swain knew he was

a member of a Cajun band and a resident of Breaux Bridge, La., which is known as the Crawfish Capital of the World. “When I was down there I got inducted into the Redstick Ramblers,” Swain said. “So all of the sudden I went from a Northerner with a banjo and a dream to being bass player in one of the top Cajun and swing bands out of Baton Rouge. It was really exciting.” Although Breaux Bridge is located about two hours west of New Orleans, the community is the
birthplace of a wide range of talented individuals including musicians Branford Marsalis and Hunter Hayes. “The thing that was so lovely about it was it is such a very diverse, liberal mindset,” Swain said. “This is the cultural centre of the South.” Swain remained in The Pelican State for a year before deciding to return home to Victoria. Upon returning to B.C., Swain embarked on various musical adventures as a solo artist and as a member of artistic collaborations.
Recently, Swain paired up with fellow singer/songwriter Glenna Garramone to form folk-roots band Tower in a Song. “She’s one of my favourite vocalists and we both had worked with each other before … we just have always loved singing together and through our love of singing harmonies and playing music together,” Swain said. The duo recently released its first album, City in a Forrest. The album covers a wide range of Leonard Cohen songs. “There is a lot of sensual and romantic content and there is an incredible amount of spiritual content,” Swain said. On May 4, at 8 p.m., Tower in a Song performs at The Haven on Gabriola Island as part of the Big Fish Music Festival. Tickets are $20.

Welcome to the driver’s seat
Having a chance to drive the base car all the way up to the Golf R showed just how good the base car is. Zack Spencer Visit the photo gallery at DrivewayCanada.ca

This new platform, called MQB, to the Golf R showed just how Zack Spencer enables the engineers to build all good the base car is. The only kinds of new products, be they difference is the sportier seats bigger, smaller, wider or taller. What went into and splashier trim on the more expensive cars, the design of the Golf represents a big step but the overall design is the same from car to forward for Volkswagen as the latest model is car and all exemplify the simple, yet elegant 100kg lighter than the outgoing car but it is approach VW takes with all its interiors. bigger, stiffer and safer than before. Drive Looks Gone is the old 2.5-litre. 5-cylinder, replaced It could be argued that the new Golf looks too by an all-new 1.8-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder much like the older model but interacting with base engine.

Verdict This new Golf family is set to take on some very established players in the compact segment. With a hatchback design, this car has always been a more practical design than sedans like the Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla. With superb road manners, advanced engines and German engineering, the starting price looks like a winner. A big reason for this is the Golf is assembled in Mexico and these cars come into Canada without duty, (Thanks NAFTA) so VW added more content and kept the price low. The good news for diesel lovers is that the TDI engine will be available right out of the gate and now represents about 50 percent of Golf sales. This engine too has been modified to make it as fuel efficient as possible. All told, the Golf is more polished car than much of the competition and offers a trim level and price for all types of buyers, from basic to flat-out performance.

Imports really sizzle at New York auto show ‘‘
It makes an impression on the observer, coming and going.
’’
by Keith Morgan
There was more sizzle in my New York steak dinner than on the show floor at the Big Apple’s international auto show. It seems the Big Four shot their lightning bolts at the preceding Detroit and Los Angeles auto extravaganzas and left it to the import manufacturers to dazzle here. Nissan did not disappoint with the unveiling of a classy looking crossover in the shape of the all-wheel drive 2015 Nissan Murano. The mid-size model first showed up in 2002 and this
new model marks the birth of the third-generation. The Nissan-named V-Motion nose and boomerangshaped taillights ensure it makes an impression on the observer, coming and going, and distinguishes itself from its rivals. Inside, up to five passengers can expect more of a luxury ride than they might have enjoyed in the outgoing version – heated and cooled front seats will impress those upfront. The trend in this segment to include huge sunroofs continues here. Under the hood, Nissan stays with the trusty 3.5-litre six-cylinder powerplant matched to a continuously variable transmission. Expect to see the Murano in the showrooms at the tail end of the year. Before moving on, the Nissan Sport Sedan Concept should be mentioned as it offers a clue to what the new Maxima might resemble. And boy, is it a looker despite the horrible orange colour of the
show car! It too features a panoramic roof stretching almost from the windshield to the rear window. A production model version is expected later in the year, which suggests the L.A. show might benefit from that timetable. Any new Toyota Camry is an instant hit, especially in North America where it’s been the best selling car for 12 years. Despite that, the Japanese manufacturer launched an all-new 2015 model, just three years after introducing a redesign. It incorporates design touches now appearing in sibling models, including a deeper grille that more resembles an upmarket Lexus. Interior materials are upgraded and a large central display matches the design trend of its competitors. Two trims are added; a sporty XSE with some luxury touches and a Hybrid SE. Toyota sticks with its 2.5-litre, four-cylinder, and 3.5-litre, six-cylinder engines plus its Hybrid Synergy Drive.
Nissan did not disappoint with the unveiling of the classy 2015 Murano crossover. Hyundai would like to put a serious dent in the Toyota Camry success story with its own mid-size sedan – the redesigned Sonata. It’s likely the introduction of a sharp looking Sonata in 2011 helped prompt Toyota into taking a serious look at upping the ante in the Camry. Other competitors have also risen to the challenge. Now the seventh-generation, newly
styled, sharper looking 2015 Sonata raises the bar again with improved ride and handling plus advanced driver assistance and safety equipment. Unlike the Camry, the Sonata stays with purely fourcylinder engines. Standard is a 2.4-litre power plant and a turbocharged 2.0L four is an option. The one domestic manufacturer that did show
PHOTO submiTTed
up with something more exciting than the rest was Jeep, which introduced the compact Renegade. It is the iconic brand’s first foray into the small SUV segment. Its funky looks and fuel efficiency should make it an urban dweller hit but it also boasts best-in-class off-road capabilitye outdoor adventure seekers. Two engine choices: a 2.4-litre engine with
MultiAir2 paired to the segment’s first nine-speed automatic transmission, or a 1.4-litre MultiAir Turbo engine with six-speed manual transmission. Prices for all of the above will come closer to launch when pencils have been sharpened and each figure out how they can undercut competitors. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Keeping you safe on two wheels by Alexandra Straub
Like education, the motorcycle gear you wear, whether on the road or trails, is vital to your safety. Don’t believe me? Just ask someone who, unfortunately, has had a spill. Here’s an example. A colleague of mine caught gravel around a bend while riding in the States. She hit the guardrail then passed out. She was then airlifted to hospital where she suffered a minor concussion, and a few bruises and scrapes. Even the doctors were amazed how good shape she was in. It was said to her that her gear likely saved her life. She was wearing leathers, gloves, protective boots, and a helmet. Granted, not everyone is as lucky, but you get my point. Furthermore, for those who have experienced an accident, and have been in proper attire, I’m pretty sure you weren’t thinking. “Gee, I really wish I wore my shorts and flip flops!” When I ride, I’m in full garb. Depending on what type of riding I’m taking on that day, I’ll dress appropriately. I’m an advocate of riding gear. All of it.

Driveway columnist Alexandra Straub puts safety first. Helmet The government in British Columbia only enforces one piece of safety equipment when riding on the road. That’s a helmet. If you’re not going to invest any money in anything else, protect your noggin’. I’m not suggesting buying the most expensive and fanciest lid out there because most of us don’t have thousands of dollars for a carbon fibre helmet. In fact, I’ll add this too. Make sure it fits properly. Local motorcycle shops generally have trained staff in fitting helmets. They’re

outdoor shelters range from tiki huts to timber frames.
Backyard living can be easy with a gazebo that fits your style and space. Not only will it provide shelter, it can also add a touch of style to your yard. “A gazebo really does add to your life,” says Donna Lillejord of Alfresco Backyard Lifestyles. “You can use your yard all year round.” To enhance your backyard living experience and continue spending time outdoors in the
cooler mothers, Lillejord suggests installing a fire pit in the gazebo. “It’s like adding another room to your house,” she says. “You basically extend your house a lower budget basis. It dramatically adds to the amount of time you can spend outdoors.” Gazebos are available in a range of styles, from Caribbeanstyle tiki huts to dramatic Whistler-style timber frames. If you’re not adept at construction, pre-packaged kits can often be purchased that will have everything you need, including roof materials and posts.

This is very important work considering every year over 3,500 women and children in the Mid Vancouver Island area seek support to recover from physical, sexual and psychological abuse and violence. Haven Society’s programs include providing shelter, emotional support, counselling, advocacy, and most importantly a safe place to begin healing from abuse. If you are planning on holding a garage sale this spring, we would like you to consider holding it on Saturday May 10 and help us help the Haven Society. Royal LePage Nanaimo Realty will provide you with signage, balloons and advertise your garage sale in the local newspapers. We will also provide a donation tin for your customers to make donation to this worthy cause. You keep all the proceeds from your sale or if you like can make a donation as well. Registration Fee to be part of this great event is $25. 100% of that fee will go directly to the Haven Society and a tax receipt will be provided to you. Registration deadline: April 30th, 2014 For more information and to register please contact: Royal LePage Nanaimo Realty 250-756-1132 275-2000 Island Highway, Nanaimo, BC V9S 5W3

Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON <My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA<I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON<I suffered for years. I tried everything and finally after taking a specially processed shark cartilage I was pain free in 2 weeks. After this experience I realised I could help many of those 5 million Canadian that suffer every day and night and I started to sell this same type of shark cartilage and helped hundreds of thousands of men and women to have less pain or no pain at all. Nick A. Jerch, President of Bell Lifestyle Products. <Many people on our website write: “Can walk again for hours”;”Can climb stairs without hanging on to railing”;”First time in 15 years can sleep at night” Arthritis Pain in joints down 90%, same for my sister…hundreds of testimonials all with full names and towns. Shark #1NPN 80042283 bones/cartilage was a previously thrown away by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught for their cartilage. Don’t let any activist confuse you.
