Plans unveiled for Hilton hotel
Police catch suspect in assault case
CoMPANy bANks on Asian tourists to help fill rooms in new $100-million project.
A 43-year-old man is in custody and facing numerous recommended charges after allegedly beating and threatening a 39-year-old woman early Wednesday. The assault happened at about 12:30 a.m. when the victim was giving rides home to two men after a social function in north Nanaimo. She dropped one man off and was driving the second man home when she pulled over in a parking lot on Jingle Pot Road to check her cellphone. “Suddenly he just starts wailing on her and he tells her while beating on her to go to a secluded area,” said Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman. The victim, who was punched and choked for several minutes, pretended to comply with his demands, but instead drove to her home in central Nanaimo where she blew the car’s horn to alert her roommates, fled the car and called 911.

A $100-million skyscraper hotel proposed for Nanaimo’s waterfront will bank on Asian tourists to help fill rooms, according to the consulting firm behind the project. Nanaimo’s Front Street is being pitched as the new home of a 30-storey Hilton-brand hotel that would boast just more than 300 rooms, plus restaurants, commercial spaces and public waterfront access. According to John Steil, senior planner with architectural and consulting firm Stantec, it’s hard to find waterfront property in places like Victoria and Vancouver for new hotel developments making this “one of the last great sites for a waterfront hotel.” There is also optimism for the local economy and the ability to create a market for
the hotel among international tourists thanks to the Hilton-brand – all ingredients to make the project successful, he said. The project is proposed for 10 and 28 Front St., beside the Pacifica condominiums, and will look to attract Asian travellers, anticipated to make up a significant number of its visitors. The project follows on the heels of work to build a $50-million luxury conference centre hotel by a company that also plans to rely on Asian tourists. “[It] won’t be competing per se with most of the hotel industry in Nanaimo. It’s creating demand,” Steil said, adding the goal will be to provide a high-quality hotel a certain sector of travellers want.

An RCMP forensic unit member carries an evidence bag containing a knife found in shrubbery in the front yard of a home on Rock City Road Tuesday afternoon. Nanaimo police conducted a search to find the weapon used in a stabbing on Fairway Crescent earlier in the day.
Teen recovering in hospital from stab wounds By Chris Bush THe NewS BULLeTiN
A victim who was stabbed multiple times is recovering in hospital and police have a suspect in custody following an attack in a Rock City neighbourhood Tuesday. The attack happened shortly before 12:30 a.m. when several 911 calls came in reporting an assault in progress, a female yelling for help and that a man was seen running from the area. Officers arrived to find a 16-year-old girl on the 3300 block of Fairway Crescent bleeding from what appeared to be multiple stab wounds. She was rushed to
Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. Police Dog Services were called to the scene at about 1:20 a.m. from where Cpl. Dean Muir and police dog Arco followed a track to a man a few blocks away on Colwood Road. The suspect, Arshil Azim Parekh, 19, was arrested without incident and charged with attempted murder in Nanaimo provincial court Wednesday. The victim underwent emergency surgery and is currently recovering in hospital where she is expected to remain for several days. Tuesday afternoon police started a grid search of the area to find the weapon

used in the attack. An RCMP forensic team recovered a knife found within some shrubbery in front of a home on the corner of Colwood Road and Rock City Road shortly before 1:30 p.m., but police have not confirmed it was the actual weapon used in the stabbing. Const. Gar y O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman, said the attack was not random, the victim and her assailant knew each other and investigators will be looking into their relationship prior to the assault. Parekh was held in custody until his next court appearance by video link on May 20. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

Trustees finalize budget cuts
I
NarroW VoTE in favour of cuts to teaching positions. By Karl yu The News bulleTiN
The Nanaimo school district board narrowly passed a $132.6-million budget for the 2014-15 school year at a special meeting Monday. Passing by a vote of 5-4, the balanced budget will not include the elimination of teacher librarians, something that had been proposed earlier given a projected shortfall of $5.4 million. The elimination of teacher librarians, something suggested in an early budget proposal, will not take place but there will be the reduction of six full-time equivalent teachers as part of the
distance learning model. One full-time equivalent teaching position related to the elementary Outreach, Wellness and Learning (OWL) program was also eliminated. A transition counsellor and a Career Technical Centre coordinator position from Nanaimo District Secondary School were eliminated with the workload being added to the school’s vice-principals. An executive assistant position in the human resources department will also be cut. An unrestricted operating surplus of $1.5 million and a $1-million reduction from this year’s budget were used to balance the budget for next year. Trustees Dot Neary, Sharon Welch, Kim Howland, Bill Robinson and Donna Allen voted in favour while Jamie Brennan, Nancy Curley, Bill Bard and TerryLynn Saun-
ders voted against. About $5.5 million in reductions were approved, $175,617 more than necessary, and the extra money will be kept as a contingency, available for use at the classroom level, according to Donna Reimer, school district spokeswoman. Bard voted against the budget, as he said trustees needed to go over it again to see if there were opportunities to eliminate senior management positions. “When you have job losses and you have to cut services and supplies, I’m not happy with it,” Bard said. “I think we did the best that we could. The province continues to critically underfund us and they ask us to pay more for hydro and MSP premiums but they don’t give us enough to cover those costs.”

Company reviews security

WorkErS rEturN to western Forest Products after shooting. By Karl yu The News bulleTiN
Western Forest Products is assessing its security protocols in light of the April 30 shooting that saw two employees killed and two others injured at its Nanaimo sawmill. Michael Lunn and Fred McEachern were shot and killed when a gunman opened fire. Tony Sudar and Earl Kelly were injured in the incident. Kevin Douglas Addison was arrested at the scene. Two counts of first-degree murder are among the charges he is facing. Don Demens, company president and CEO, said the mill is reviewing its current safety measures. He said standard security was in place at the time of the shooting. “As you’ve noticed and as people have noticed, as we’ve brought operations back, we have added security,” Demens told the News Bulletin Tuesday.
“We’ll be reviewing our security measures at all facilities and have had experts throughout all the plants, throughout the weekend, and we’ll be going through a systematic approach to review security and apply either new standard procedures or technology, where we deem fit.” Demens wouldn’t comment on whether Western Forest Products would review layoff procedures, stating the company and United Steelworkers’ union local are currently focusing on providing support to families and employees. The mill had a ‘soft start’ reopening Tuesday with continuing support and counselling sessions for workers to ensure that are mentally prepared to go back to work. Memorial services for both McEachern and Lunn are scheduled for Saturday (May 10). Lunn’s service will take place at 3 p.m. at Generations Church at 1300 Princess Royal Ave. People are encouraged to wear red clothing in his honour. McEachern’s service will take place at noon at Beban Park Social Centre, 2300 Bowen Rd. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Hotel site faces rezoning From /1
Charles Koo, owner of Insight Holdings which is organizing the project, did not want to elaborate much on the initiative, but did say there isn’t room for two luxury hotels at the present time. Investors are counting on the attraction of more tourists and people from overseas, thanks in part to the city’s efforts to promote Nanaimo. The hotel, which needs to go through rezoning for height and setback, is not anticipated to be complete until 2018. It will involve strata arrangements, where i n d i v i d u a l ro o m s are sold and rented to guests by a hotel operator. “We didn’t force these people to invest in Nanaimo,” said Mayor John Ruttan. “They saw the opportunity and they made the business decision
to come here.” An open house is set for the Vancouver Island Conference Centre at 4 p.m. on Tuesday (May 13). news@nanaimobulletin.com

yacht club aims to increase interest in programs. By Chris Bush The News bulleTiN
Nanaimo Yacht Club plans to drive interest in its sailing programs with an open house on the weekend. The club hosts the event Saturday (May 10) 1-4 p.m. when the public can go down, get a tour of the club’s facilities and meet some of the young athletes who are training to qual-
ify and represent Nanaimo in the B.C. Summer Games sailing competitions. Aspiring athletes will be training in their crafts and visitors will have the opportunity to try their seamanship with the club’s sailboats. “We want them to come and get in a boat, whether it’s on the dock, beside the dock or go and sail with an experienced sailor,” said Jill Christie, head coach and sailing program coordinator. The club offers beginner to advanced sailing programs for students age five to adult, so many of the experienced sail-
ors helping out with the open house are yacht club students and sailing team members. The open house will be a great opportunity for families interested in learning to sail to sample sailing first hand, Christie said. “You don’t have to be a [yacht club] member to come and take lessons and I think that’s the big thing that people don’t realize,” Christie said. For more information about Nanaimo Yacht Club, its programs and the open house, please visit the club website at www.nanaimoyc.ca.

Every time Winnipeg’s Crystal Todd visits Nanaimo, she notes fresh artwork along the city’s waterfront. “That’s new. I am not sure I saw it the last time I was here,” she said, surveying a Dungeness crab carving near one of the downtown piers. “It’s a little creepy.” Todd, who is wrapping up her fifth trip to Nanaimo, says she likes the public art displayed in Maffeo Sutton Park, which gives her a little something extra to look at than waterfront views alone. Monday marks the start of Public Art Week and this year’s showcase of temporary public art.
According to the City of Nanaimo, there’s big value to public art, from making spaces more interesting to generating community pride and interaction. Since the temporary art initiative started in 2008, the municipality has spent about $70,000 and expanded its offerings to include videos of artists through sculpture QR codes and a new Nanaimo Art Explorer app. Now its cultural plan suggests setting up a public art reserve with a $100,000 annual contribution to buy permanent artwork. The city had fewer applications to pick from this year, prompting it to install two new sculptures compared to four in 2013. But Chris Barfoot, the city’s
culture and heritage coordinator, says the temporary arts initiative is largely successful. Artists are given an honorarium to create work that goes on display for about a year before it’s returned to creators. It gives artists a venue to express themselves, and the public gets memorable experiences and an outdoor gallery that remains fresh, he said. “I think it is a small investment with an enormous return,” he said. Artist Dan Richey says the program allows him to use Nanaimo as his gallery. He is just now putting the finishing touches on his latest work, the Giant Pacific Octopus, which will be installed May 16. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Public art helps make city spaces more interesting By Tamara Cunningham
From the Colliery dams to the Mounties, big expenses loom for Nanaimo city council, according to a recent financial report. City officials took a major step toward approving a 2.5-per cent property tax hike and five-year financial plan last week, passing three readings of its financial and tax rate bylaws. Combined with services like water and garbage, the average $350,000 home is expected to see just over a $67 jump on its property tax bill this year. Brian Clemens, the city’s director of finance, said the increase is due to expenses like the municipal election and an effort to bank dollars for future work on park amenities, transportation and civic facilities. There are also capital projects, like an $800,000 waterfront remediation, a water treatment plant and work to expand the Millstone sewer. But this year’s financial plan also forecasts future costs for politicians and taxpayers to consider, from the unknown costs for capital improvements at Nanaimo’s Colliery dams to RCMP staffing.
The hiring goal of a five-year RCMP staffing plan, which called for 24 police members and 10 support staff, is expected to be met and exceeded by 2018, amounting to an annual staffing cost of $2.8 million, according to Clemens. There is also $6.6 million set aside for upgrades to the police station and $2.4 million for a new Hammond Bay fire hall, which will cost $2 million annually to operate. And don’t forget water. Over the next decade expenditures to increase water supply is expected to increase substantially, Clemens said. The future costs are more challenging than overwhelming for Mayor John Ruttan, who said the hope is to manage increases in ways that mitigate the effect on taxpayers. Staff members are watching for ways to handle ongoing expenses and save money, he said. “A lot of those costs we are facing are costs that are hard to avoid,” Ruttan said. “That is the challenge. Water resources, filtration and all those issues are something that as a community we have to face.”

The suspect took the victim’s Honda Civic, which was spotted by police on Third Street just after 1 a.m. “He takes off and we find the car again on Foster Street,” O’Brien said. Police tried to box in the car but the suspect sideswiped two police cars as he sped off. At about 1:30 a.m. a motor vehicle accident was reported at Vancouver
Island University where a witness saw a man walking through the campus. Const. Clay Wurzinger and police dog Boomer followed a track from the crash scene to the suspect who was found at about 2 a.m. hiding in some bushes. He was treated at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital for dog bites after he resisted arrest. “We have 11 charges against him,” O’Brien
said. “The more serious are assault causing bodily harm, forcible confinement, fleeing police, assault, threats.” The suspect was scheduled to appear in Nanaimo provincial court Wednesday afternoon. The victim has been released from Nanaimo Regional General Hospital where she was treated for multiple injuries from the assault.
O’Brien said the victim is traumatized, but co-operating with police and that due to the level of violence investigators will be looking to see if the suspect has a history of this behaviour. Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call Nanaimo RCMP at 250754-2345 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.nanaimocrimestoppers.com. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

EDITORIAL
Skyline adding height, prestige With an upscale hotelier interested in building a skyscraper here, it’s a reminder that Nanaimo needn’t be afraid to reach for the sky. This week brought news that a developer wants to put a 30-storey Hilton-branded hotel on Front Street downtown. It’s the second such project in the works, with SSS Manhao’s 21-storey hotel already slated for construction next to the conference centre. Even now, before any concrete has been poured at these building sites, just the artists’ renderings alone are signs that downtown revitalization may be working better than we thought. Someone is looking at Nanaimo and seeing potential. It’s tempting to think that our city’s tourism could be approaching a tipping point, when there are enough attractive reasons to come here that people do just that, creating a need for more accommodations and amenities that attract still more people. If there are hoteliers considering ways to bring in clientele, it follows that local tourism operators must be brainstorming business plans these days, too. That’s wonderful. It’s always important to try to showcase our city in new and creative ways, and with more hotel rooms and more tourists, the stakes are raised. We’ve got plenty of time to try to get ready. In the coming years we will have to look at infrastructure issues such as traffic flow, public transit and parking, and assess levels of protective services. Casino expansion is bound to come up. In Nanaimo we might have to ask ourselves questions about our city’s identity, and we should. We won’t stop being the Harbour City, a clean, beautiful, safe place, but visitors will add vibrancy. The people who are here now plus the ones who are coming really will add up to more than the sum of those parts. And hopefully, if hotel heiress Paris Hilton ever comes here for a ribbon-cutting ceremony, she’ll be able to look around at Nanaimo and deliver, honestly, her catchphrase: “That’s hot.” The Nanaimo News Bulletin is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair was an early advocate for rescuing skilled trades from the secondclass status they received in a culture fixated on university for two generations. That culture has created glaring problems. There are too many institutions offering the same courses. As with health care, block funding is handed out without any serious effort to measure the results. For many students, university has become an extension of adolescence, finding one’s self through philosophy or film studies. Employers get their share of blame from McDonald. Not only did they chop up trades training to make it cheaper to obtain, their preferred source of skilled workers has been to poach from other employers who paid to train them. Skills-based employment data will be made public for students to make career choices. Finally, students coming out of high school will have a way to assess what they can expect after $50,000 or more is spent on higher education. It’s about time. u Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Industry transports bitumen safely To the Editor,
Re: Refined oil safer for B.C.’s coast, Opinion, April 22. Continued safe marine and pipeline transport of hydrocarbons is in everybody’s interest so Canadians can realize value for resources and oil producers can continue to deliver jobs and economic benefits. No one wants a spill of any product at any time. David Black’s op-ed incorrectly suggests the Canadian oil industry is not interested in the proposed refinery project and that transporting diluted bitumen is more risky than transporting other types of oil because of
its chemical properties. Oil producers are seeking increased access to existing and new markets. All options to achieve that goal are worthy of study. And diluted bitumen is no more dangerous than other types of crude oil. Chemically, there’s nothing about diluted bitumen the transportation system cannot be prepared to manage. Whether it moves by pipelines or tankers, dilbit meets the same specifications and behaves the same as other crude oils. There have been several scientific studies completed on diluted bitumen. Earlier this year, the federal govern-
ment released a research study that demonstrated dilbit floats on salt water – even after evaporation and exposure to light. Our industry is focused on responsible development of Canada’s resources. We welcome transparency on our safety and environmental performance, based on sound science. As producers, we transport oil with care and attention at all times. We expect all transportation providers to deliver safe services in a responsible manner.

Standard of care must be priority To the Editor,
Re: Cancer patients seeing deterioration in level of care, Letters, May 1. When will standard of care and cancer patients’ needs take priority over cost effectiveness and economies of scale? Unfortunately, there are more than enough cancer patients in Nanaimo to have at least one full-time oncologist here. Island Health should be adding oncologist hours, not reducing them. Having an oncologist available locally every day of the week makes a world of difference to cancer patients and their families. Having been a regular visitor to the cancer clinic at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital, as a support person to both a close family member and also a colleague, I have
experienced how vital it is to have local treatment available. What a difference it makes to be able to have loved ones with you, and to be able to go straight to your own home afterwards. Having to go to Victoria or elsewhere adds greatly to stress – financially, emotionally, and otherwise – for cancer patients, and limits their access to much-needed personal support, since support people are often unable to make the journey with them. The decisionmakers at Island Health need to consider what they would want if they were battling cancer themselves, or what they would desire for their own loved ones.

Attackers in bar death weren’t brought to justice To the Editor,
Re: Brothers avoid prison time for bar fight death, April 29. There was not any real justice for Michael Brophy. Adding insult to injury is a $100 victim surcharge. Well, if this is restorative justice, then I must be living in an alternate
world. Michael Brophy is unfortunately still getting victimized by the so-called justice system while the Maybin brothers just get a simple slap on the hands. It’s now time for a very muchneeded and serious change.

To the Editor,
Re: Concerned citizens deserve to have greater say in city planning decisions, Letters, April 15. The way that the City of Nanaimo is allowing development in the north end is an absolute travesty. There is clear-cutting happening in the most biodiverse wetland area left. Every day there is the extreme noise from drilling, blasting of the cliffs, and excavators working. One can hear this noise from as far away as the top of the transmission towers so imagine the impact it is having on nesting birds. The type of development that is going on in Linley Valley West right now should never have been given the green light as this area is a sensitive habitat to over 46 species of nesting birds. The people of Nanaimo want these lands protected from further clear-cuts and destruction. Once it is gone, it is gone forever and Nanaimo will have lost a jewel in its midst.

Lee's Desk Four Steps to Intestinal Health There is a common thought among us that we are all different...we are each unique. Our fingerprints, retinas and many other parts of our bodies seem to verify this assumption. They are all very original...no two are alike, we are all snowflakes! Yet, when it comes to the health of our digestive systems we are not nearly as dissimilar as one would think. There are fundamental requirements that we all need to follow to maintain an intestinal system that will function properly our entire lives. I like to think of these requirements as the basic rules. There are four of them. First rule..no drinking with meals, this means any fluid of any kind. Second rule...eat fruit by itself. Third rule...eat one concentrate only at each meal with all the veggies you want. Fourth rule...we need 35-40 grams of fibre every day. By following these precepts many people have been helped with acid reflux...excessive intestinal gas... constipation... and many other complaints. Those with severe problems often need a full spectrum enzyme and a good probiotic added to this program. Intestinal problems don't just happen...unless they have been caused by food poisoning, parasites or environmental issues. Otherwise, most of them are an accumulated result over several years of contravening these four rules. For more info please come in...we would be happy to help you.

A celebration of life will be held on Sunday, May 11/2014 at the Kin Hut in Departure Bay 12:00pm - 5:00pm
Aug. 8, 1952 ~ April 30, 2014
On the morning of April 30th, the Lunn family tragically lost a husband, father, papa, son, brother, uncle and friend. These were roles that he filled with laughter, helpfulness and love. Michael was born in Victoria to Eileen and Nic Lunn. The one boy in the middle of 7 sisters: Carol, Linda, Pam, Tere, Nicki, Dawn & Holly. Mike worked at the Starlight Drive-In where he met and later married his sweetheart Marlene (Helm) in 1970. Three children followed Marc (wife Kendra), Mitchel (Ashley) and Marcy. Of course the grandchildren followed them, 7 in total... Paige, Dion, Carter, Joshua, Janae, Krishna and Brayden. Mike was employed at Western Forest Products in Nanaimo for the last 34 years. He was the plant chairman of the mill for the last 30+ years and loved the challenge of defending the contract and representing what was right. He was looking forward to completing his 35th year before retiring with Marlene to enjoy the camping and traveling that they had both dreamed about. The friends and family that will miss Mike are too numerous to list in this space. You know who you are and how important you were to him! That’s what he was all about! A Celebration of Life will be held May 10, 2014 at 3:00pm at Generations Church, 1300 Princess Royal Avenue, Nanaimo. Refreshments to follow. Mandatory attire is a RED T-SHIRT or anything RED! A website is under construction for the “Red Shirt Foundation� to bring awareness of workplace violence and in effort to move “Pain to Purpose�.
Age 62, born September 27, 1951 passed away peacefully in Nanaimo with his wife JoAnn by his side, on April 25, 2014.
Rhonda Frances Allen, of Nanaimo, BC, slipped peacefully away in the presence of family and friends on Wednesday, April 30 in her 69th year, after a 9-month battle with cancer. Born in Vancouver, BC on September 28, 1945, Rhonda moved to Nanaimo with her parents and sisters in May, 1953. She graduated from Nanaimo Senior Secondary School in 1961, and worked first in the aviation industry and then in automobile retail sales. Rhonda was proud to be the first female automobile sales person in Nanaimo, finishing her career in 1990 as business manager for a major dealership in Calgary. She returned to Nanaimo in 1990 and, in her retirement, loved to paint and create ceramics and dote on her beloved cat, Tikki. Predeceased by her parents Ronald and Frances Allen (1998 and 1977 respectively), her sisters Diane Wargo (1992) and Pamela Dawson (1980), and her niece Vicki (2013), Rhonda leaves to mourn her passing her sister, Virginia (Ranger) Close of Nanaimo and Abbotsford, nieces and nephews, Mark Ranger, David Ranger, Michelle Wargo, Sheridan (Ranger) Doerksen, Andrea Wargo, Rodney Wargo and eleven grand-nieces and nephews. Rhonda’s wonderful spirit, joy of life and talents will be celebrated at a Memorial Service to be held Saturday, May 24th at 1pm at First Memorial Funeral Chapel, 1720 Bowen Rd., Nanaimo. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Rhonda’s memory to the BC Cancer Agency.
We would like to thank the nurses, doctors and volunteers at the Nanaimo Palliative Care Unit for their kindness and care for Randy and his family. We would like any donations made to the Nanaimo Hospice Society in lieu of owers.
FREDERICK JAMES MCEACHERN It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, devoted father, and dear friend, Frederick James McEachern. He leaves behind his wife, Lorraine; daughter Paige (Dan); son Tristan; and sister Gail Hagen (Andy), nephews Mike and Trev. Fred will be remembered as a loving family man by his extended family including Auntie Mary, Auntie Ellen, Keith (Cynthia); Gerald ( Julie); Lois (Dave) and Tom (Bev). Born and raised in Victoria BC, Fred graduated from Oak Bay and then continued on to BCIT. Fred made friends everywhere he went and has kept his friends close. He worked in the fishing and lumber industries; he loved his job at Western Forest Products. Hockey was a huge part of Fred’s life from an early age, both playing and coaching his children and others, and playing for many years with his friends on the Hornets and still played with the boys on the Grumpy Rangers. He also played and then coached baseball. He loved fishing and golfing and camping. Fred loved life and his family and friends... and the odd beer and cigar. Fred took a practical approach to life but never lost sight of the fun parts. We are devastated to have it all end so soon. “Grieve not, but laugh and talk of me as if I were beside you.� - Isla Paschal Richardson
A celebration of Fred’s life will be held at Beban Park Social Centre, 2300 Bowen Road, Nanaimo, on May 10th at noon. Donations in memory of Fred to the charity of your choice.

Runner keeps finding new finish lines Nanaimo’s Burrett among nation’s best at half marathon
BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
M
arathon running would mean even more kilometres, more training, more for Erin Burrett to demand from herself. More, from someone who already goes for a run every day, or oftener. “I always think the people of Cedar think I’m nuts, because they see me out there twice a day and I’m everywhere,” Burrett said. There’s a method to her mileage. The 32-year-old is no jogger. She runs races; she sets paces. These days, she’s thinking about where her next finish line lies. A week and a half ago, Burrett came second at the 21-kilometre Canadian Half Marathon Championships in Montreal. She raced a personal best of one hour, 15 minutes, one second, a two-minute improvement on her previous personal best. “The race just fell into place…” she said. “The legs, everything just felt fantastic the whole way through.” The ending was bittersweet, as frontrunner Krista DuChene pushed herself so hard, running on a stress fracture, that she broke her own leg in the finish-line sprint, was passed by winner Rachel Hannah and Burrett, and still managed to hobble
Juniors look for first win of season
GREG SAKAKI/THE NEWS BULLETIN
Nanaimo’s Erin Burrett, coming off a second-place finish at the Canadian Half Marathon Championships in Montreal last month, is now considering upping her distances and entering her first marathon.
home in third place. “Not the way I wanted to get second, but I’ll take it,” Burrett said. She was thrilled with her time and there was a sense of fulfillment to do so well at a goal race. Burrett had spent most of last month training in Flagstaff, Ariz. Running at 7,000 feet above sea level is hard, and it’s meant to be. Burrett ran, she ate, she slept. “I can go for three weeks, run high mileage and recover properly without work,” she said. “So you can run
180K that week but if feels so much easier than running 180K while working.” Whether at high altitude, or by the sea in Cedar, or at Nanaimo’s Rotary Bowl, the kilometres add up, every day, twice a day. Burrett’s never raced a marathon before, but she could run one tomorrow, easily, and that’s gotten her thinking. The marathon distance would mean new races, new opportunities, new challenges. “The marathon’s a whole other world,” Burrett said.
It’s daunting in some ways and it would mean tweaking her training, but her mileage is there. “My coach [Matt Clout] seems to think as the distances get longer, that’s where my strengths are, rather than hammering out a 5K; I don’t have that fast twitch in my legs,” Burrett said. “Whereas I can go out and hold paces for longer.” Running every day, there are times when she’s sore, or tired, or doesn’t feel like it, but she runs anyway. “That’s the point of
training. I train the high mileage to train the body to be tired and to work out these paces when I’m tired so that in a race situation when you are tired, your body doesn’t give up.” It can’t – not in the big races, not against women so competitive they would break their own leg to try to win. Burrett has to be every bit as determined, and she is, and it’s why she runs and runs and runs. And if her neighbours think she’s nuts, well, maybe she knows better. sports@nanaimobulletin.com
It’s been a tough start for the Timbermen, but they think they have a chance to start turning things around. Nanaimo’s Junior A Lacrosse League club (0-3) plays the Port Coquitlam Saints (0-2) on Saturday at 5 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena. “PoCo’s a team that we know we can beat; we’ve just got to play hard,” said Andrew Miller, Timbermen transition player. The T-men are emphasizing team defence this week at practice after allowing 15 or more goals in all their games so far. “Defence first is going to win you games and I’m trying to get that in the heads of our offensive players,” said Ken Morrison, the team’s coach. “If we turn over the ball we want to be pressuring, but we’re getting a lot of our guys running off and letting [opponents] have a free clear.” Miller said the team understands the problem and it’s something that can be tightened up. It means more running, he said, and playing smart lacrosse. “We’re making, not stupid decisions, but the wrong decisions,” he said. The T-men can continue to work on those things, and at the same time, start winning games, they think. “It’s going to take a full team effort to win,” Morrison said. “We’ve got a lot of things to work on, still.” sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Nanaimoites set quick pace at races For both recreational and competitive runners, two highlights of every spring are the Vancouver Sun Run and the Times Colonist 10K in Victoria. In terms of participation they are the two largest 10K races in the country, each attracting thousands of runners. This year, however, it happened that both events were held on the same day. Which meant that athletes who trained for the races had to make a choice… More than 60 local runners opted for the trip to the mainland and competed with over 36,000 entrants in the huge Sun Run on April 27. The fastest of the Nanaimo contingent was Shane Rogers with a time of 39 minutes and 51 seconds, which placed him 11th in the M1-15 age group. Then came Terry Rogers in 50:27, Ed Fairhurst in 51:31, Ron Reynolds in 52:10 and Masashi Hasegawa in 54:14. A trio of women were

Spring soccer starting up
Maclean ran 52:28. Something new this year in Victoria was a half marathon race held the same day as the 10K event.

verything is going swimmingly for partners George and Albin. They own a posh drag queen club in the beautiful French Riviera town of St. Tropez and their relationship is as strong as ever. But that all changes when George’s son, Jean-Michel, shows up for dinner and announces his engagement to the daughter of an ultra-conservative French politician. That’s the basis behind Schmooze Productions latest theatre show, La Cage aux Folles, which will make its debut on Thursday (May 8) at Nanaimo Centre Stage. “It is a really heartwarming, fun show with great characters and hilarious scenes,” director and artistic producer Dean Chadwick said. “This is a really entertaining piece of theatre that people will be laughing until it hurts and maybe even crying a little bit. It’s a great, wellrounded piece of theatre that is accessible to everybody and yet, naughty enough for a few people.” La Cage aux Folles was originally written by Jean Poiret in 1973 and made its Broadway debut in 1983. The production received multiple awards, including a Tony Award for Best Musical in 1984. The production was eventually revived in 2010 after the script received an update. The Schmooze Productions version of La Cage aux Folles will feature local actors Rob Atkinson (George) and Rick Mey-
ers (Albin), who is best known as Miss Vicky, and Nanaimo-North Cowichan MLA Doug Routley (Edouard Dindon). “He’s a fantastic guy and so incredibly talented,” Chadwick said about Myers. “It’s nice to get him not playing Miss Vicky and playing a different role and he’s really fantastic at it.” Routley, who is a member of the New Democratic Party, takes on the role of an ultra-conservative right-wing politician and the father of Jean-Michel’s fiancee. Chadwick said that although Routley has been challenged by some of the moral beliefs of his character, he has embraced the role.
“
It is just a love story. It just happens to take place in the club of a drag show.
“When I am talking to him and giving him casting notes I’ll say to him, ‘OK Doug, I want you to think about the guys you sit across the table from because those are who I want you to portray’,” Chadwick said, laughing. “He’s actually had a lot of great fun because it is fun to play someone who is so unlike you. He is such a sweetheart of a guy and to play this kind of buttondown character, he’s done really well, but I can see he has been challenged by it and yet he’s lived up to the challenge and the role.” While La Cage touches on a handful of themes,

with the most obvious about homosexual issues, Chadwick stresses that the production’s basic story is as old as time. “It’s interesting because really the whole thing behind the show is, it is just a love story. It just happens to take place in the club of a drag show,” Chadwick said. “That’s really it. The setting is the drag show and the gay family but the stories themselves have been around forever.” One of the driving factors behind Schmooze Productions electing to produce La Cage aux Folles was due to the recent anti-homosexual stance by Russian president Vladimir Putin. “It’s timely. Certainly with the Russian Olympics [Sochi 2014], we saw, and still even in this day, the adverse reaction to gay marriage or even gay people in general. You know, it is just not right in our society anymore,” Chadwick said. “Being in the theatre, we have lots of friends in the theatre who are gay and it was to say, ‘You know what? These are normal families and they are really fantastic and loving and important people.’” Chadwick said the aim of the production is for people to walk away impressed with the play, but not just because it touches on issues surrounding homosexuality. “I don’t want them leaving thinking, ‘Oh, that was a great play about gay marriage.’ I want them to go away thinking, ‘Wow that was a great show about a family.’” La Cage aux Folles runs May 8-31 at Nanaimo Centre Stage. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased at www.schmoozeproductions.com.

youths make debut with choir

BOYS SING at St. Andrew’s on Saturday.
By Kathryn-Jane hazel
Italy had its three tenors – now Nanaimo’s Malaspina Choir is debuting its own three talented trebles. The trio of male choristers will sing in the choir’s midIsland premiere of Leonard Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms at its Bach To Bernstein concert on Saturday (May 10) at 7:30 p.m., at St. Andrew’s United Church. Noah Berg, 12, Colin Boyd, 13, and Max Goering, 15, will sing the lyrical setting of Psalm 23 in the work’s second movement, accompanied by harpist Josh Layne. The part they sing is crucial to this demanding and hauntingly beautiful choral work. Bernstein specified that it had to be sung by either a treble or a counter-tenor. All three boys are

students of Patricia Plumley. Boyd and Goering are also five-year veterans of the of the B.C. Boys Choir, which Plumley directs and Berg has four years of vocal experience under his belt. The three trebles first sang together at a rehearsal last month, where they stunned older audiences with their performance of the complex move-
ment, which interweaves their voices with those of both the men’s and women’s parts. The boys are looking forward singing at St. Andrew’s United Church on Saturday. “I thought it would be a great experience,” Goering said. The senior members of the Malaspina Choir along with new musical director Lionel Tanod are also
looking forward to the boys performance. Tickets for the concert are $20; $15/students; children under 12 free. Tickets are available at the Port Theatre. Please visit w w w. p o r t t h e a t re . com.

SIIINES PLAYS the Queen’s on Friday.
By Nicholas Pescod The News BulleTiN

Siiines performs at the Queen’s on Friday (May 9). The California-based trio’s stop in the Harbour City is its second last on a lengthy North American tour.
RON JAMES
If you mixed Mötley Crüe, David Guetta, Nirvana and Deadmau5 the result would be that of California-based houserock band, Siiines. At least that’s the belief held by bandmates Travis Nesbitt, Morgan Gies and DJ Gene. On Friday (May 9) the Californian-based but Canadian-rooted trio will be performing at the Queen’s. Residents of the Har-
bour City will get a chance to hear what that mixture sounds like through Siiines’ unorthodox combination of electronically charged beats, sex-driven lyrics and guitar riffs. “We just do what we do,” Nesbitt said about Siiines’ style of music. In February, Siiines released their debut album, Fukushimarama. Nesbitt explained that the album touches on their feelings about the music industry and popular culture. “ I t ’s g o t s o m e themes of where pop culture is at right now, where mainstream music is at right now,

you know looking up at celebrities and American Idol and all that bullshit is about these days,” Nesbitt said. “We just wanted to make a statement.” Nesbitt and Gies were previously members of Social Code, a St. Albert, A l t a . - b a s e d ro c k group that disbanded in 2012. During Social Code’s prime, they were signed to Interscope Records and toured with the likes of Theory of a Deadman, Buckcherr y, Three Days Grace and Finger Eleven. “That was a just a straight up rock thing,” Nesbitt said about Social Code. “So this new project [Siiines] is a like a hybrid between rock and electronic music.” Following Social Code’s breakup, Nesbitt and Gies decided to relocate to Southern California where they began top-lining, a process where they would write lyrics and melodies on top of already produced beats. “They [publishers] basically get music from bigger artists … anybody world and then you give it back to a publisher [after writing lyrics and melodies for it] and the publisher would send it and then you
could have a hit on say Britney Spears’s next record,” Nesbitt said of top-lining. “So there is whole network of writers in the world and mostly in L.A. that are doing top-lining, so we were kind of getting into writing lyrics and melodies on top of other people’s beats.” It wasn’t long before Nesbitt and Gies grew tired of top-lining and decided to create Siiines in 2013. “It just kind of felt like we were behind the scenes. We were doing all the studio work, all the writing and so on, but you don’t get to see the payoff because you’re not necessarily performing it,” Nesbitt explained. “It was that other side that was kind of missing and we just wanted to start a new project.” Siiines will take a bit of a break from touring, following their Vancouver performance and focus on writing. They hope to perform at a handful of festivals in the summer before embarking on another continental tour. Siiines performs at the Queen’s on Friday (May 9) at 7 p.m. For more information, please visit www. siiines.com/wp. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Question OF THE WEEK:
Then we bypassed Kelowna and headed for Beaverdell, admiring the evidence of the now defunct historic Kettle Valley railway. Then the chilling hail hit but a single glass of beer at Rock Creek restored us us. We weaved our way north along the valley, through wine country, to Penticton. “Piece of cake,” said George the next day as he looked at the route to Hope. The winding back road trail to Princeton was a joy but the last stretch home was not. First, we were hit by snow, then hail that numbed our faces as we descended from Manning Park. I thought I had made a significant anatomical discovery when it appeared that the icy wind blasting up my right nostril seemed to exit through my left ear. Of course, it could have been the hole in the left side of my helmet. There was one other little challenge. The panel failed so I had to peer at my handheld GPS to figure out what speed we were doing then shout at the top of my voice when George exceeded the posted limit. We made it safe and sound. “Next year, Sid?” “I’ll get back to you, George.”
Driveway editor Keith Morgan writes today about how a 3-day rally along picturesque B.C. roads turned him to the idea of a B.C. summer ‘staycation’. Will you do a road trip holiday though B.C. this year, and if so where to? Go to DrivewayCanada.ca to submit your answer.

Acura MDX comes equipped with all the bells and whistles The 2014 Acura MDX is a perfect example of how technology can change your driving experience. There is no mistaking an Acura, be it a car, crossover or an SUV, the front end gives it away. The front air dam coming to a point, the large grille featuring the
Acura logo and the swept back sweeping lines set it apart. When you first open the door of the MDX you notice the refinements and how everything flows together. My tester was the MDX Elite that comes fully loaded. After driving around in this
vehicle for a week, I started to get used to the technology and how the safety features start to perform, it became natural and helped me relax and enjoy the drive To read more, please visit www.drivewaybc.ca.

Buying the right bike You’ve got your licence, you’ve got your proper gear, now all you need is your motorcycle. Here are a few things to consider before signing on the dotted line. Budget Establishing a budget is probably the most important thing to outline when it comes to your new ride. If you’re buying used, this is particularly important. You might be tempted to spend an extra couple of thousand on the bike of your dreams. But if the dream bike just happens to be a nightmare and costs you an unanticipated fortune on repairs, you might find yourself in a pickle. New or used? There are differing benefits to buying new or used. New bikes have warranties, but a used bike that might not be too old could still have one. Is buying either way better than the other? Not necessarily. Buying used you could get a more upscale model for your budget. Speaking from experience, buying through a private sale can be a good way to go, especially on a budget. I
found my bike on Craigslist. But if you can’t pay cash up front, dealers generally have financing or payment plan options. Private sales don’t. Dealers also have most likely done a tune-up or some service in preparing the bike for the sale. Check the VIN through ICBC or a trusted database. It might cost you a few extra dollars to run a bike’s VIN through a trusted database but can save you multiple headaches in the end. It will show if the bike has been in any reported accidents and detail the dam-

• Barbecue Pork • Chicken & Bacon • Buffalo Chicken
age. It’ll also show if there is money owing on the bike or if it was reported stolen. Keep in mind, if the bike is from out of the country, the record likely won’t show.

Test rides I recommend buying a bike that you are comfortable on, both physically and mentally. Private sellers won’t generally let you test ride, but ask. Dealers are more open to this, especially with newer models because they have demo fleets.

Audi A7 sedan creates a sleek silhouette needs to be moved. The front seats enjoy a view to a sumptuous dashboard and luxury filled experience. The best material are used and I find Audi’s computer controller to be one of the easiest on the market.
by Zack Spencer
Audi is one of the luxury brands under the massive Volkswagen Group, which includes Lamborghini, Bugatti and Porsche. By sharing engineering knowledge, platforms and engines across several different brands, it enables VW to reduce costs and develop more products. One area of importance, in Canada, is the introduction of more and more diesel, or TDI engines, into the marketplace. The 2014 Audi A7 TDI is a perfect example of what VW is doing right. The engine is a fuel-sipping diesel that saves roughly 25-30 per cent over a conventional gasoline engine, yet still supplies the dynamic ride Audi owners look. Looks The body of the A7 TDI is the same as the gasoline versions and it could be one of the best-looking
The Audi A7 is a sweet ride. four-door luxury vehicles on the road. Actually, the A7 could be considered a five-door model, as the rear cargo rear is accessed through a massive hatch. This, is in combination with the sleek coupe-like silhouette is what makes this car different than much of the competition. Buyers who like the idea of a big luxury car but also want something a bit sportier will enjoy the dynamic stance, especially combined with the oversized sports wheels. Oversized is also a good way to describe the

A7s grille, which is framed by an aggressive set of headlamps and deep front spoiler. Inside Taller passengers might find it a bit snug and big items might not fit in the cargo area. This is why Porsche produced the Panamera sport-back, with a much higher roof for full-sized adult passengers. The reality is that many professions who can afford this car will more than likely have a family SUV for those times when larger adults or cargo
Drive Audi uses a variation of its 3.0L direct injection turbo diesel in five of its models. This A7, along with the Q5 and A6 get the newest version of this engine sporting a bump in torque from 406 lb.-ft. to 428 lb.-ft. Torque is what it is all about with diesel engines. The ability to get away from a traffic light and cruise along at highway speeds makes a diesel engine a rewarding vehicle to drive. Put the throttle down and this big luxury sedan just rockets away, the way a huge V8 would have in years past. The up side is that the driver gets all that power but also impressive fuel economy, something that had eluded luxury
buyers in the past. The A7 is rated at 8.7L/100km in the city and stingy 5.3L on the highway. For fuel savings and power the diesel is the way to go.
Verdict The Audi A7 is a lovely car; filled with sex appeal, performance, luxury and prestige. I suspect there will be a four-cylinder
coming, but for now the A7 is a prime example of Audi’s expansion into diesel transportation. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Canadian cars go head-to-head with U.S. editions by Bob McHugh
During a recent short stay in Los Angeles, I drove a Mazda3i Grand Touring. It’s a trim level that’s not available in Canada, even though Mazda3 is more popular (comparatively) in Canada than in the U.S. And price, well, that also turned out to be a surprisingly interesting comparison. It’s easy to understand why so many Canadians already love Mazda3. The 2014 edition is an improved all-new generation car that’s already been voted Canada’s Best New Small Car, by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada. Softer, more flowing body styling lines cover a new SkyActiv structure that’s lighter yet, according to Mazda, offers a 30 per cent improvement in torsional rigidity. The 3’s wheelbase has also been stretched by six centimetres, yet it’s a tad shorter in overall length. Inside the cabin there’s more room, especially leg and head room for the rear passengers. A top-line GT edition of Mazda3 is available in Canada, but only with a larger 2.5-litre SkyActiv engine and an automatic
transmission. The 3i GT that a mix of city/highway and I drove in LA came with the usual traffic hold-ups that smaller 2.0-litre SkyActiv are commonplace in the engine and a 6-speed LA area. manual transmission. An Small cars are No. 1 in Canada and we bought over automatic is an option in 40,000 Mazda3 models last the US and there’s also year, making it the fourth a 3s GT edition with the most popular small car. 2.5-litre engine (manual Mid-size cars traditionally and automatic). out-sell small cars in the The 2.0-litre engine was US, and Mazda3 was only available last year in the tenth Mazda3, best seller but the new in the small body allows car segment, a larger however, exhaust that’s still manifold 100,000 plus and this sales. improves its A no-frills, mid-range Dollar for dollar, a stripped torque Canadian pays about base model output. It’s is also the definitely the same, or less, norm in the better, but than a U.S. buyer. U.S., but not still not in Canada great. That Bob McHugh (got to have said, overall those seat I really like heaters). In fact, Amerithis engine and crisp-shifting manual transmission cans have a choice of six combination and the fuel Mazda3 trim levels, while economy was outstanding. Canadians have only three. There were 502 kilometres “We have a less complicaton the trip meter when I ed trim level strategy,” said pulled into a gas station, Sandra Lemaitre, national for the first time, at the end manager, public relations of my stay. It took less than at Mazda Canada. “One, nine gallons ($35) to fill to make it less complicated the tank. That’s 6.9 L/100 for consumers and two, km and brilliant by any to allow our dealers carry measure. My driving was inventory that consumers
‘‘
’’
want. We also offer more option packages that allow consumers to add on, rather than making them commit to a specific trim.” You’ve probably read or heard of people saving thousands of dollars by buying a vehicle in the US. That may be true for some high-end luxury or specialty products, but not so in the price-competitive lower end of the market. Dollar for dollar a Canadian pays about the same, or less, than a U.S. buyer, for a similar new Mazda3. So, you will definitely save money by buying a new Mazda3 in Canada, when you also factor in the current 10 to 12 per cent difference in currency exchange rates and importation costs. There won’t be a direct equivalent to the Mada3i GT (2.0-litre) in Canada next year. However, I did learn that a manual transmission will be available with the GT (2.5-litre) sold in Canada, in 2015. It’s anybody’s guess where prices will be next year, but one thing is for sure, the Mazda3 is great little car and a great value in Canada right now.
The Mazda3 is a little different in the U.S. than in Canada.

Bruce’s Pick! 2014 Civic DX
bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca
Infiniti QX60 sporty, safe The 2014 Infiniti QX60 is a luxurious sport utility vehicle that puts safety above everything else. The QX60 is a very attractive vehicle to these eyes; it has distinctive Infiniti looks. The projector style headlights flow with the body lines and the fog lights look like they belong instead of an afterthought. The side body lines almost give the appearance of waves moving up the vehicle. LED rear brake lights and center high mounted stoplight sit atop the rear power lift-gate. Chrome accents around the windows give it a sense of elegance. The cabin seemed large to me at first, but after climbing in and getting comfortable it is really not that big. If you are an amply proportioned person really spend some time trying out all of the seat positions to make sure you’re riding in optimum comfort. Once in the driver’s seat I found the controls well positioned and easy to operate. I liked the navigation screen with 3D mapping, the monitor offers a bird’s eye view of the vehicle and detects moving objects thus providing more help in backing up in a tight parking lot.
