Mayor John Ruttan sits on a bench at Linley Valley Cottle Lake Park on Wednesday, two days after announcing the city plans to acquire another 89 hectares for the green space. The purchase and development of new parkland will cost taxpayers approximately $9 million.

City to acquire 89 hectares of parkland in Linley Valley By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN

Nanaimo city officials made an 11th-hour save of Linley Valley West after all. The City of Nanaimo announced Monday it plans to spend $9 million to acquire and develop 89 hectares of parkland in Linley Valley. It entered into a series of option agreements for five separate properties that, if joined with existing green space, will create Nanai-

mo’s largest urban park. The move is applauded by Joanne Jonas-McRae, founder of Save Linley Valley West, who has been working for more than three years to preserve the area from development. But the recent action is also an about-face from the city’s previous stance not to purchase Linley Valley West for park. During an open meeting last October, Mayor John Ruttan told the gallery that if there was hope the municipal-

ity would at the 11th hour find the opportunity to purchase the property, “we can’t and we won’t be.” According to Ruttan, circumstances have now changed, from the affordability and opportunity to buy land, to public pressure and the time frame to make a decision. “A lot of it was trying to diffuse what we were doing behind the scenes,” he said of his previous statement. “We just didn’t want to increase focus and opti-

mism among certainly the landowners. It was difficult for us to negotiate this candidly and quietly ... with all the public pressure that was being put on.” The question of purchasing parcels of land in Linley Valley has been making it onto council meeting agendas since 2011, when Save Linley Valley West advocates first became concerned about the effects of development on the ecology of the area.

Nanaimo Centre Stage can be managed without being a huge draw on city coffers, according to the co-founder of a new theatre alliance. The newly created Harbour City Theatre Alliance Society – made up of a board of six arts supporters – plans to audition for management of Nanaimo Centre Stage. City officials have been on the search for a new theatre operator in the wake of a planned exit by the Centre for the Arts Nanaimo this June. The group announced in April that it would bow out of operation of the 100-seat venue, stating it could no longer oversee the building for the $11,350 annual subsidy the city offered to pay. It had asked for $40,000 in 2014. The new alliance, founded by Schmooze Productions’ artistic producer Dean Chadwick and Barbra French, artistic director of In Other Words Theatre, are confident they could work within the city’s framework. The building would be operated by a volunteer board, rather than staff. During days without bookings, French and Chadwick say they have the experience as producers to put on their own shows, festivals and workshops to generate revenue. “We want NCS to be a fantastic place for artists in the community ... we want to make it affordable and we can and I think we have the experience and the know-how in order to produce great events and offer this amazing space – without having to continually go back to that municipal well over and over again,” French said.

Lantzville green lights new cenotaph I dEdicatioN SEt for First world war anniversary. By Karl yu The News BulleTiN

A war memorial at Lantzville’s Huddlestone Park is expected to be completed and dedicated by the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War. The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 257 has been spearheading the $150,000 project, which will see a cenotaph and memorial pathway constructed in the park. It has secured upwards of $50,000 in funding from the federal government and another $50,000 from the province, according to Jim McEwan, branch 257 cenotaph fundraising chairman. The project is still short approximately $10,000 and McEwan hopes sales of memorial stones will help. The stones will be engraved with names of war veterans and first responders and line the pathway around the cenotaph. There is room for about 200 stones. “We’re very close to 100 [stones sold],” McEwan said. “We’re doing very well on

that and people are finding it quite popular. We’ll be making our first order with the supplier this week.” The District of Lantzville unanimously approved a motion at a recent council meeting authorizing the legion to proceed with construction. Mayor Jack de Jong said the district has to keep a tab on assistance as the federal government funding matches anything up to $50,000. He said all of the district’s help has been in-kind. “It’s been fairly significant. We’ve had to assess the value of the land donated, the value of the path that we’re doing and so forth,” said de Jong. McEwan said the legion is currently reviewing contractors for installation of the cenotaph’s base. Granite will come from Stanstead, Que. and Mortimer’s Monumental Works in Victoria will provide the finished cenotaph. The dedication is set for Aug. 9. The Lantzville legion will also be holding a fashion show and lunch to raise money on May 25, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., at Costin Hall in Lantzville.

accused murderer remains in jail pending hearing The man facing firstdegree murder charges in relation to the April 30 Western Forest Products shootings will see his next court date on June 10. Kevin Douglas Addison appeared in Nanaimo pro-

vincial court via video Tuesday. His case was adjourned for a month to allow for more disclosure, according to John Gustafson, Addison’s legal counsel. “We’re just trying to get all the information we can

right now,” Gustafson said, adding there is a lot of information coming in. Addison faces two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder with a firearm in the shooting that caused

the deaths of Michael Lunn and Fred McEachern, and injured Tony Sudar and Earl Kelly. Addison’s next appearance will also be via video link at Nanaimo provincial court.

Murder case hinges on judge’s ruling of criminal responsibility By Karl yu The News BulleTiN

A judge is expected to make a ruling Tuesday (May 20) in B.C. Supreme Court in the case involving an August 2011 murder of a Gabriola woman. Jason Daniel Cramer was charged with second-degree murder in the death of Elaine Schwartz and attempted murder of her son Trevor Schwartz, 50 and 18 at the time respectively. Cramer has pleaded not guilty to both counts. Both James Wright, Cramer’s legal counsel, and Ken Paziuk, Crown counsel, said the issue is if Cramer is not criminally responsible by way of mental disorder. Paziuk said there is evidence to suggest that Cramer has a history of drug use and that he consumed drugs in and around the date of the incident. “One of two things is going to happen,” said Paziuk. “If [Judge Terence Schultes] finds him to be [not criminally responsible], then the ruling would likely be that Mr. Cramer would then go to the review board, so he’d be in the hands of the review board. “They would decide what sort of treatment program and where they will house him, all those sorts of things. If there isn’t a finding of [not criminally responsible], then there might be further submissions but it would mean then that he’s not excused from criminal responsibility.” From there it would proceed to a sentencing. If there isn’t a finding of not criminally responsible due to mental disorder, there would likely be a chance for counsel to reconsider its positions and come back at a later date to complete sentencing, Paziuk said. Schwartz’s body was discovered at her Gabriola residence and her son was found severely injured in a separate residence on the property. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Circumstances had changed to make the acquisition a priority, including pending subdivisions and the city’s ability to fund the project internally in the wake of negotiations. “It just seemed that if we wanted to take advantage of what likely is the last large piece of land available for park use, it was now or never. They were logging it,” Ruttan said. “Maybe from a business standpoint hav-

Negotiations break down between teachers, province

School diStrict warns of cancellations of trips, activities. by Karl yu the News bulletiN

Teachers are discussing their next steps in job action after contract talks with the province broke down earlier this week. Negotiations broke down Tuesday, according to Nanaimo District Teachers’ Association president Mike Ball. “They were at the table [Tuesday] and [Wednesday] was cancelled because lack of progress,” Ball said. Ball said there were discussions related to whether to escalate job action, although he couldn’t comment further. Teachers are in the middle of the first phase of job action, which sees teachers on school premises

an hour before and an hour after instruction time. They are not partaking in any supervision outside of class and are not communicating with administration. The second phase would involve rotating strikes, while the third phase would go to a province-wide strike. Job action by Nanaimo teachers has cancelled an aboriginal graduation ceremony scheduled for May 22 and a number of track meets. It could affect a number of other activities as well. In a letter addressed to parents, David Hutchinson, Nanaimo school district superintendent, said field trips, graduation ceremonies and awards nights could be cancelled as a result of job action. The district said parents should be aware that because of the uncertainty from job action, there is a possibility that money already paid for trips or activities would not be refunded. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Nanaimo News Bulletin 5

School board seeking feedback on trustee reduction With municipal elections on the horizon, the Nanaimo school district board is exploring the idea of eliminating a pair of trustee positions. The board is seeking public opinion on whether to reduce the number of trustees from nine to seven in a move that would see an annual savings of $45,000 for the school district. “Right now we’re just in the process of getting all the information together for the consultation process,” said Donna Reimer, school district spokeswoman.

The district said it has moved from a management model to a governance model which has trustees operating at the policy level, with managers running the district and that – coupled with the need to find money to balance the budget – makes it a good time to examine trustee reduction. Written submissions must be received by 4 p.m. on June 19 and concerned citizens can provide input by writing to the school district board, 395 Wakesiah Ave., Nanaimo, B.C., V9R

3K6; faxing 250-741-5309; or e-mailing the board courtesy of Cathy Kelt, school district executive assistant, at ckelt@sd68.bc.ca. People can also make a short presentation to the board at a June 18 meeting and can register by calling 250-741-5238 or emailing Kelt. The deadline to reserve a presentation time is June 13 at 4 p.m. The board will decide at its June 25 meeting whether it will ask to implement the reduction by the time of the next trustee election in November.

Proposed hotel plans draw positive reviews

Three more groups considering bids to manage theatre The alliance formed earlier this year when the founders realized the theatre could close. According to French, there are no other spaces in the community that are affordable or viable for small to medium theatre companies and it needed to be saved. She gives credit to the Centre for the Arts, which ensured the venue is in good shape and recognized as a performing arts space. A new not-for-profit like theirs won’t have to start at square one. Chadwick says he sees the potential for a vibrant theatre. “The big difference is you are dealing with two people that have had their hands in theatre for most of their adult life. We know the inner workings, we know the people involved ... and now we want to keep this space open so that we can all use it.” The theatre alliance plans to submit a proposal before the city’s May 23 deadline. According to Chris Sholberg, the city’s culture and heritage planner, three non-profits and one arts organization have toured Nanaimo Centre Stage and there is definite interest to potentially take over management of it.

oPEN HouSE hosted by developer planning to build hilton-brand skyscraper By Tamara Cunningham The News bulleTiN

CHRIS BUSH/THe NewS BUlleTIN

Crowd pacifier Cpl. Paul Minkley, left, emergency response team leader, watches David Fraser, 12, as he gets a feel for what it’s like to suit up for an emergency response team mission during the Nanaimo RCMP detachment’s open house Saturday. Hundreds of visitors met police, checked out crime fighting equipment and took guided tours through the detachment. A hamburger barbecue at the event also raised cash for Crime Stoppers.

Nanaimo resident Doug Fetherston looks at designs for the proposed Hilton hotel and sees the potential for revitalization. “I kind of see that it’s really going to lift the downtown to something that it isn’t now,” he said, at the first open house for the hotel project. Fetherston was among more than 200 people who turned out to see artist renderings for a $100-million Hilton hotel, pitched for Nanaimo. The sketches of the skyscraper, which towers 30 storeys above Front Street, show rooftop terraces and a changed waterfront with an artificial beach, kayak launch and possible cafés and restaurants. The luxury hotel would also include more than 300 rooms, conference space and indoor public access to the city’s harbourfront promenade. John Steil, project spokesman and senior planner with consulting firm Stantec, calls it a move to provide high-quality accommodation to a certain sector of the travelling public, most of which is anticipated to come

from Asia. But it’s also believed that it will create spinoffs for the community like revitalization and support for local businesses. The hotel plans upwards of 300 jobs and aims to put its community contribution toward park improvements. A landscape architect is working with the city on its park planning process to ensure the two visions for the waterfront mesh, according to Steil. Resident Gord White said he thinks the new addition is going to put Nanaimo on the map. “This is going to be a landmark,” he said, during the open house. Other residents were also excited about the potential luxury hotel. Mike McCartney called it a “stunning addition” to a street that currently isn’t appealing and said it has the potential to attract more people and more business downtown. Fetherston, who lives in the Pacifica condominiums next to the proposed development, said he loves everything about the hotel. “I am sure that there will be lots of people that [won’t] like the high rise next to the waterfront, but it’s a big hole in the ground and something needs to go in there,” he said. “I think it’s a great concept.” The hotel is currently going through a rezoning process for height and setback. news@nanaimobulletin.com

CANADIAN COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER AWARD 2012

EDITORIAL

Boathouse must be a value-add We’re justifiably proud of Nanaimo harbour, so much so that we style ourself the Harbour City. So a community boathouse next to the Brechin boat ramp sounds like something well-suited to that part of town. A group called the Nanaimo Boathouse Society goes before the City of Nanaimo’s Parks, Recreation and Culture Commission today (May 15) to gain support to try to advance the $5.1-million project, planned on municipal property. The group would fundraise construction costs itself, then turn over the building to the city for ownership. Operations and maintenance could cost $200,000 a year. Newcastle Channel is a great place to paddle, with natural beauty, calm seas and tourist attractions such as a marine provincial park, a floating pub and access to the boat basin and boardwalk. We should absolutely be trying to find ways to get more people out on the water because it really is one of the best places to be in Nanaimo. A community boathouse is a value-add to the harbour, but to what extent? That’s something the municipality will need to consider. City staff could probably develop its own plan for the property – think a better-looking Brechin boat ramp, with a couple of amenities and upgrades. Would this achieve some of the same goals as a community boathouse? Would it be any more affordable? The proposed boathouse benefits dragon boating. It’s a growing sport and one that has already proven it can inject serious tourism dollars into our local economy, but it’s fair to wonder about the sport’s continued growth potential in Nanaimo. Taxpayers can’t afford to subsidize a shed for vessels most of us will never paddle. The boathouse operations will have to be self-sustaining, or pretty close. It has to be a multi-use facility. It has to be a space that we don’t have, that we need, that we want, and that gets used. It has to bring people to our harbour, and where then? Why, anywhere they wish to go.

short region,” the report states. How is the status quo working? Summerland council just voted to swap 80 hectares of flat farmland for 90 hectares further away in the Summerland Hills. The town is on restricted lakeshore terrain and the council wants to increase its urban zone, using the community need provisions that are enhanced by the current legislative amendments. This was after a loud demonstration organized with the help of a fake grassroots protest machine called LeadNow, complete with slick signs and website. (LeadNow also helped round up anti-pipeline protesters this past weekend.) The media were fooled as usual, but not Summerland council. LeadNow has moved on to lining up people to flood the Agricultural Land Commission with form letters and petitions against Summerland’s plan. The B.C. Agriculture Council, whose board first supported and then objected to the ALR amendments, has clarified its objections. It wants flexibility for secondary uses extended to the prime farmland zones of the Okanagan, Fraser Valley and southern Vancouver Island. u Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

No tipping: what a concept

Day of honour an opportunity for reflection

It was refreshing to read about the restaurant that is banning tipping and paying proper wages instead. Years ago you had to pay tips to everybody: workmen, government officials, etc., to get anything done. Today, in all settings outside the hospitality industry, these payments go by their proper name of ‘bribes’ and are illegal. Isn’t it about time this anachronism is done away with in all transactions? Wait staff should not have to rely on the kindness of strangers. I am not suggesting that we just do

Ottawa designated May 9 as the National Day Of Honour commemorating the end of Canada’s military commitment in Afghanistan; nobody should ever forget any of the Canadian Forces who fought in that God-forsaken hellhole, nor their families waiting anxiously at home. The monetary cost of the mission has been estimated as around $18 billion; there were 40,026 military personnel deployed; 158 paid the ultimate sacrifice; 2,179 suffered physical wounds of varying degrees; an estimated 8,000 developed or will develop mental health conditions. While never forgetting those people, we have a right to question the result of those years of war. Afghanistan is in a lengthy process of electing a new president, corruption is still rampant and there are still many warlords as powerful as they always were with heroin poppy cultivation in full bloom. The Taliban awaits the remaining stragglers of NATO personnel to vacate their country, dead set on reclaiming the positions they had before 9/11. Was it really all worth it? Will the schools that were installed still be thriving in a few years time, and will women have some kind of rights? The history of the Pashtun people, in what has become present-day Afghanistan, has always been about repelling those who dare invade. Chances are an Afghani Day of Honour would have a completely different meaning to ours in Canada.

The corporations that want to build an incinerator in Nanaimo to burn Vancouver’s garbage have filled whole pages of our newspapers without printing anything that could help us make an informed decision. Their website is even less insightful. How much ash is left from the burn? What chemicals does it consist of? Which watershed is it to be dumped in, or are they planning on dumping it in the ocean? Of that dumped in the airshed, what chemicals are they? How large are the particles, especially the metals, and what polymers

Money matters in health system To the Editor,

Re: Other sectors favoured as health care lapses, Letters, May 13. Bureaucrats will go too far to save a buck on the backs of patients and nurses. About 10 years ago I was visiting Vancouver for some weeks so I decided to pick up some temporary nursing shifts. I was sent to a unit for the elderly, none of whom could walk. I found, to my shock, that I, a stranger, was the RN in charge of the whole build-

They haven’t even provided a costbenefit study, as to how much power is generated after the amount used in the burning process is deducted along with the wages, infrastructure costs, transport, and bonding for cleanup if a barge flips in our estuary.

Emergency room calm, efficient To the Editor,

Recently I had the unhappy experience of spending eight hours in the new emergency room at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. My family and I were very impressed with

the environment, ambience and quality of care. It was apparent that the staff were happier and appeared in control of their urgent and stressful duties. Not only did they provide attentive and professional care for the patient, but made certain we had the necessary comforts. The facility design creates an atmosphere of privacy, professionalism and calm. Thank you to those responsible for the creation of a facility that serves people in a safe and efficient manner.

accordingly. This would also eliminate all the shenanigans happening today where employers confiscate tips to pay other workers or line their own pockets. Plus, it would force the hospitality industry to be honest about its prices. Hopefully, the enlightened business plan of this restaurant will help society get rid of this last vestiges of our old briberybased economy and force the hospitality industry to join the 21st century when it comes to treatment of staff and customers.

Famous for her annual Rathtrevor family, camping trips with close friend Michelle, Dianne loved everything about nature and the outdoors.

At her request, there will be no service.

Lyn Maureen Boroski Lyn was born on January 31, 1951 in Â Queen Charlotte City, Haida Gwaii and passed away peacefully on April 27, 2014 at NRGH after a brave nine month battle with cancer.

Lyn is survived by her siblings Gloria Kehler, Terry Kelly, Colin (Vi) Kelly, Debbie (George) Burgess, Judy (Kevan) Wall and her cherished nephews, nieces and extended family. Lyn valued the friendships she made while working at Malaspina Gardens (Lodge) as an LTCA, especially her friend Beckey Rogers. Lyn continued to make friends and respected the nurses, HCAs and staff on the 3rd floor at NRGH, all of whom held a special place in her heart. If Mom liked you, she loved you, if she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, everyone knew it. This earth has lost a special lady, confidante and friend, please join us in celebrating her life on May 24, 2014 at 3:00 pm at Branch 256 Legion at 1630 E. Wellington Rd. in Nanaimo B.C. and honor Lyn with the big (in her words) party that she requested. Live â&#x20AC;˘ Love â&#x20AC;˘ Laugh ...and dance like no one is watching.

that one guy [opponents] are expecting all the shots to come from…” Ratcliff said. “If everybody can chip in with a goal or two a game, then we’re looking at a nice, solid, potent offence.” Rookies will get chances not only to crack the lineup, but to contribute. “They’ve got an opportunity now to get the ball on their stick when maybe they wouldn’t have it on their stick when the top guys are back,” Toth said. “It’s a perfect opportunity for them to prove that they can score goals. Hopefully they prove that they can.” Zak Boychuk returns as starting goalie and Brandan Smith and Conrad Chapman are promising rookie defenders.

Baseball M’s come close at nationals BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

Every spring the VIBI Mariners put themselves in championship contention, and they were able to do so again. Nanaimo’s Vancouver Island Baseball Institute Mariners finished third at Canadian College Baseball Conference nationals in Lethbridge, Alta., winning two games, then losing three. The M’s went 2-2 in the round robin, then fell 6-5 to the eventual-champion Prairie Baseball Academy Dawgs in Sunday’s semifinal. VIBI fell behind 5-0 through five innings in the semi, but didn’t get discouraged and got those runs back. “We were able to … scratch four across and really turned it into a ball game,” said Jordan Blundell, VIBI manager. “It’s coulda, woulda, shoulda … That’s usually the way it is in the playoffs. One or two breaks that you don’t get and the other team gets is usually the difference.” The Mariners had defeated the Dawgs 10-4 in the tournament opener Thursday. On Friday, VIBI defeated the Okanagan Coyotes 5-3 but lost 7-6 to the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack. A 4-2 loss Saturday to the Calgary Dinos wrapped the round robin. See ‘VIBI’ /23

Wildeman keeps on riding Singer performs at the Vault Café on Friday.

BY NICHOLAS PESCOD THE NEWS BULLETIN

few years ago, folksinger Brett Wildeman really wanted to visit South America. Unfortunately, the Roberts Creek native was unemployed and realized that a trip south of the equator was not in the cards. So, Wildeman did the next best thing. He biked from British Columbia to California and back in 21 days. “I had been planning a trip to South America for a while but then my window of opportunity was getting smaller and

smaller so a cycle tour down the coast of the United States was more feasible for the time that I had,” Wildeman said. Since his escapade to the United States, Wildeman has put out a fulllength record and done plenty of eco-friendly tours. On May 23, Wildeman will be performing at The Vault with West My Friend. This is not the first time Wildeman, who has biked from the Sunshine Coast by way of the Lower Mainland, has performed in the Harbour City. Wildeman’s last performance came at the Buzz Coffee House in September.

“I love coming to the Island. Living on the Sunshine Coast it is just a hop, skip and a jump away on the ferry,” Wildeman said. “I have lots of friends in Nanaimo so it is always good to come and connect with old friends.” Wildeman, who often bikes to many of his performances, explained that while the Harbour City is a beautiful area, the crowds are not always as big as they could be even though many of the venues in the city work extremely hard to put on shows. “Nanaimo is kind of a tough city to play in,” Wildeman said. “I don’t

know why Nanaimo is tough … the people that have come have always enjoyed it, but I think it is a tough place to get people to come out. Nanaimo is kind of spread all over the place.” Wildeman’s bike trip took hi through Washington, Oregon and all the way down to San Francisco. “I grew up racing mountain bikes, I still ride a lot of mountain bikes to this day, but I had always wanted to go on a big road riding trip like that. So I bought a bob-trailer, threw like 40 pounds of gear and a ukulele on the trailer and set off,”

Wildeman explained. The trip down south was a huge source of inspiration for Wildeman’s most recent record, Mother Earth, which was released independently last July. The album’s first track, Coos, was actually written and is based on Coos County, Oregon. “I wrote it in Bandon, Ore., which is a beautiful little town. I have never forced myself to write songs. There are songwriters that have to force themselves to write songs but I find that if I give it time, that things come to me and then I massage into something that can become a song

at some point.” The album’s fifth track, The Story, was heavily inspired by an encounter that Wildeman had with a woman in San Francisco. “I rode the bus with this woman who had been to hell and back it sounded like. Her husband was in jail and her son just killed a guy and he was in jail and she was strung out on some drugs on the bus,” Wildeman said. “You just never know where song inspiration is going to come from.” Brett Wildeman performs at The Vault on May 23. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Students get to go to festival

NANAIMO SINGERS off to provincials.

By NicholaS PeScod The News bulleTiN

Nanaimo will be well represented at a major arts festival next month. A handful of students from the Nanaimo Conservatory of Music will be headed to the Performing Arts B.C. Festival in Penticton. The event, which takes place in early June, highlights some of the best young talent that British Columbia has to offer in a variety of disciplines, including music, art, theatre, and dance. Kathleen Darby, executive director with the Nanaimo

conservatory, is thrilled to see so many students heading to the festival after putting in countless hours of work in the lead-up. “It takes a lot for them to get there,” Darby said. “They are very excited.” Conservatory students Lilu Scott, Jasmine Mather, Max Segriff, Madeline Erickson, Alex Kolodinsky, and UeiYoung Jung along with alternates Akela Szasz and Serena Jack will be making the nearly 500-kilometre trip to the Okanagan Valley to showcase their talents. The students will also be joined by the Nanaimo Youth Choir. The Performing Arts B.C. Festival runs from June 3-7.

Iron Oxide Art Supplies owner Willow Friday is organizing Nanaimo Art Bomb, an event that will encourage residents to showcase their artistic skills this Friday (May 16).

Event encourages residents to get creative

UNIQUE ART event occurs on Friday.

By Nicholas Pescod The News BulleTiN

Residents of the Harbour City have the chance to show off their artistic side, thanks to one local business owner’s efforts. On Friday (May 16)

Iron Oxide Art Supplies is hosting the first-ever Nanaimo Art Bomb, an event that encourages residents to bring their easels, or anything that they can create art with, and start painting. The event will be held in front of the art store at Pioneer Square Park from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. Iron Oxide owner, Willow Friday, explained that

the event is designed to highlight the Nanaimo’s artistic side. “I thought it would be really awesome to invite people out and show this really artistic side of our town,” Friday said. “It is basically an open call, guerrilla style, where people can come out and are encouraged to come and hang out and find a spot downtown [and create art].”

The event coincides with the arrival of a large cruise ship, which is expected to be carrying over 2,000 passengers and slated to port in Nanaimo early Friday morning. Art Bomb is a free event that is open to anyone of all ages and artistic skill levels. For more information, please visit http://bit.ly/nanaimoartbomb. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Beefs & bouquets BOUQUET To the ‘angels’ of the Yellowpoint Singers, who helped my husband and I through a very challenging time by faithfully bringing beautiful nutritious meals three times a week, for six weeks. The loving support was incredible. BEEF To my upstairs neighbour who smokes on his balcony. The owners of the building allow it but he tosses his butts over the balcony’s railing and they land on my patio. BOUQUET You went out of your way with the use of your truck to transport my couch and all with a lovely, friendly smile. My appreciation knows no bounds. BEEF To retailers of patio furniture. Why is black the only colour? Black attracts heat, shows the bird droppings and is depressing. Whatever happened to the bright colours and tropical patterns? BOUQUET To Ross who was kind enough to split the rental of an aerator and also follow us two ladies home to aerate our lawn. Your kindness, time and energy is greatly appreciated. BEEF To the manager at the fast food restaurant out on his break while a single girl tried to serve several people. Eight people left because she was waiting for her boss to help her. His response: oh well. BOUQUET To Industrial Plastics on Boxwood Road for providing exceptional friendly customer service in helping me out with my search of a piece of plastic hose. Thanks for keeping it real. BEEF To the store at the mall. While shopping with my granddaughter I was shocked to see a worker acting like an ape. Scared my granddaughter. I will shop elsewhere. BOUQUET To Terminal Starbucks for being by far the best Starbucks in Nanaimo. Special mention to barista Francine who always has a beautiful smile and a friendly, outgoing manner.

BEEF To not only contests but also petitions done only on the Internet with no other options given. Not all of us have or can afford computers. BOUQUET To Russell and Kay at Shear Agony for always being consistent on great haircuts. I really appreciate being able to stop by in the mornings and be treated with such kindness. BEEF To EI. Because I live in B.C. I’m required to have 910 hours to qualify, but I still get deductions from my paycheque, which greatly reduces my actual take home paycheque. BOUQUET To the ladies at Nanaimo Bakery. Your humour and smiles make lunch time a very pleasant experience. BEEF To the people who pick up after their dog, but then put the pag in the storm sewer grates where they eventually come out into the watershed streams. BOUQUET To the guy in the line behind my two children and I at Wal-Mart who overheard me telling my girls that we’d have to leave our stuff because I’d forgotten my money at home, and offered to pay for my groceries. I appreciate it more than words can say, and I truly hope karma rewards you. BEEF To the city for its lack of respect and care for the grounds of Nanaimo Cemetery. This is a sacred place where people expect to find a degree of solace – to grieve, to heal, to remember and to honour the cherished ones they have lost. Flowers mown over, grass strewn across headstones and precious items removed adds to our sorrow. BOUQUET To the writer who rants about their unemployed neighbour. You bring laughter each time we read your many beefs. I’ve wondered though, have you ever asked your neighbour about their situation or are you just assuming? We all know what assuming does.

BEEF To the rude man who went through the long-term cashier’s till and basically told her how to do her job and left with a nasty parting comment. Can you imagine what he’s like to live with? BOUQUET To Trojan Collision Centre for its expertise and friendly staff. I have used its services over many years and it has never let me down. BEEF To the gaters, speeders, cellphoners, texters, dog on your lap, eating your fast foods: we all want to enjoy our trip on the roads without your distractions.

BOUQUET To Lydia, Sharon, Chris, Betty and Carman of Malaspina Gardens for hosting a lovely tea for your volunteers. BEEF To the greedy second-hand book sellers who attend the charity book sale and buy every book by the popular authors the first morning. These book buyers go with shopping carts at 8 a.m. and fill them with used books before the public realizes the mall is open. BOUQUET To the staff at Petroglyph Animal Hospital. I had the death of my 14-year-old little girl. The vets were very compassionate and caring. Also to Joy, who helped by paying for a private cremation. BEEF To busybodies. You should follow the example of my unemployed neighbour, whose body is never busy. BOUQUET To to my cat, Git. She meets me at the door after a long day at work. She is truly my best friend.

BEEF To the heatpump company. Maybe you should have take a course on how to program them before you started up your company. They do not run 24/7 as you have told several of us unsatisfied customers.

BOUQUET To Bob Sedden for removing the pile of branches, from the tree prunings, just as a kindness. I was really concerned about how I was going to do it, without a truck. Imagine my surprise to find the pile gone. Neighbours told me Bob did it.

BEEF To the beefer who has beefed about his unemployed neighbour multiple times over the last month. Why what he does or lack thereof bothers you so much, I don’t know. First beef was fine, but after about four times, you should consider a different hobby than rubbernecking.

BOUQUET To the girls at CIBC bank at Country Club Centre. They are all so helpful and courteous.

Public can view carving project

TOTeM pOleS will grace entrance to VIU’s Shq’aphut, the Aboriginal Gathering Place.

Car vers representing three Vancouver Island First Nations have been selected to create two totem poles to grace the entrance of Shq’aphut, the Aboriginal Gathering Place at Vancouver Island University. The four carvers who will begin their work on donated logs are George Hunt Jr. (Kwakwaka’wakw), Qwaya Sam (Ahousaht First Nation), Noel Brown (Snuneymuxw) and Thomas Jones (Snuneymuxw). The totem pole project was initiated by Sherry McCarthy, VIU Students’ Union chairwoman. “This is an opportunity to indigenize this space on campus and to claim space for aboriginal students so they feel welcome here in this territory,” McCarthy said. “As VIU operates in the tribal territories of

the Kwakwaka’wakw, the Coast Salish and the Nuu-chah-nulth, it is important to feature the work of artists from these territories in the project.” The $50,000 budget for the project includes the students’ union’s contribution of $25,000, which was matched by VIU, with other contributions coming from the VIU Faculty Association, the City of Nanaimo, the Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council and the Métis Association of B.C. Students continue to fundraise for a third totem pole. When the logs arrive on site later this spring, car ving will begin under tents located next to Shq’apthut. McCarthy said students and the public will have the chance to view the car ving under way through the summer, with an expected completion of late October.

active wheel drive (AWD) system. Says Hyundai: “Performance of the vehicle’s all-new platform was validated in some of the world’s most demanding driving environments, including Germany’s famed Nürburgring Nordschleife and Korea’s Yeongam Formula 1 racing circuit.” The large variety of proving grounds offered by the northern Okanagan was much more appealing to me. And especially so in the car equipped with the 311 horsepower, 3.8-litre GDI V6 engine. Flipping between the Normal, Eco and Sport modes and tapping the gear-changing paddles on the steering wheel made for an enjoyable drive. Little lean in the corners and sprightly up hill. Both engines are coupled to an 8-speed automatic transmission with a SHIFTRONIC manual mode. The base price is $43,000, $48,000 gets you the Luxury version, and $53,000 loads up the tech features. If you want the V8, get ready to spend $62,000.

Safety Tip: If you’re taking a road trip this May long weekend, be realistic about travel times as highways will be busier. Plan rest stops every 1.5 to 2 hours to avoid becoming fatigued while driving and check drive.ca for road and weather conditions before setting out.

and a rear double wishbone type, trailing arms set up. Toyota gets an A-plus for ride comfort. And it’s arguably one of the best in its class. Aiding in establishing a serene setting is a host of creature comforts like heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, second row captain’s chairs, easy access to the third row, keyless entry, navigation, an eight-inch touchscreen and much more. Though this is not my first hybrid SUV that I’ve tested, I am always excited to see how they perform in regards to fuel economy. After all, there’s a 3.5L, V6 engine under the hood, which is then matched with

PHOTO submiTTed

an electric motor, a nickelmetal hydride battery and an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission. The result is a net 280 horsepower. Looking at the estimated fuel results, it’s rated at 6.8L/100km in the city and 7.2L/100km on the highway. Most of my driving was done on the highway so the hybrid system doesn’t have a chance to run off electricity alone at those speeds. The 2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited AWD is competent, potent and a fabulous sport utility vehicle even in Eco Mode where the fun is a little bit restricted. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

MAY 25, 2014

The all-new, third generation 2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited AWD tips the scale at 2,200 kilograms. It’s not a svelte vehicle. Inside, this Highlander can carry up to seven passengers. It’s not a cramped vehicle. And behind the third row of seats, there’s a cargo capacity of 385 litres. It’s an accommodating vehicle. So when I knew that I’d be logging more than 1,000 kilometres in a week, perhaps you’d think I’m a little crazy to want to take this (relatively) heavy and large SUV along for the ride. Normally, I would too. But there’s a word in its name that made me want to take this beauty of a beast for the long haul: hybrid. As I entered the beige cabin, I reached for the Eco mode button underneath the redesigned centre stack. I gave that a push. The Eco mode is a feature that lessens the throttle response in an effort to help save fuel. You can still do all your normal daily driving duties, it just helps you keep money where it should be: in your wallet. And keeps the fuel where it should be: in the tank. Granted, in Eco mode, it doesn’t give you the peppy acceleration you might like. Then again, if prompt acceleration is what you’re after, skip the Eco mode and

The good old bad old days of four wheeling ‘‘

by Ian Harwood

’’

Ian Harwood

4x4ing has come a long way over the years. you weren’t carful your thumb as well. Traction control came in the shape of new tires. Automatic four-wheel-drive was achieved by asking your passenger to step out and lock the front hubs.

Regal is Buick royalty The 2011 model year edition of Regal was built in Germany and based on a rigid Euro-car chassis, and could be ordered with a turbocharged engine and had a driver-selectable suspension system. It would also be the first Buick to offer a manual transmission, since the 1980s. Not since the days of Grand National, a big engine rocket, last produced in 1987 (and still cherished by Buick enthusiasts), had we seen a hard-core sports version of the Buick Regal. Yet, this Regal is a very different beast. While it may not possess the awesome straight-line power of its ancestor, it’s a hoot to drive for different and probably better reasons. It was based on the German designed Opel Insignia, which was the 2009 European Car of

the Year. The 2011 Regal was made in Germany but then (2012 and on) all production was switched to Oshawa, Ont. The overall design profile of this Regal is coupe-like, even though it has four doors. Up front, there’s a modern version of Buick’s traditional waterfall grille and an extralarge version Buick’s tri-shield emblem. At the rear, the sloping roofline connects to a short deck with distinctive and large wrap-around taillights. The turbo engine versions of Regal should definitely be on the checklist of buyers looking at mid-sized sporty front-drive premium sedans. Regal has a longer wheelbase (a more comfortable ride) and comes with a larger trunk. To read more, please visit www.drivewaybc.ca.

Luxury and hi-tech systems abound in the 4x4s that show up in the local media test fleets. When I stepped out of one of the more loaded examples the other I got to thinking about yesteryear. Some might refer to them as the good old days – judge for yourself. I remember – not that long ago – four wheeling in a truck when the standard transmission shifter was so loose, you didn’t know you were in gear or neutral. Anti-lock brakes were when you lost your master cylinder to a stick, while (independently minded) power steering kicked in when you hit the corner of a rock so hard it ripped the steering wheel out of your hand and if

actually a giant anthill. The vehicles of today have the capabilities of descending steep hills without even putting your foot on the brake and you could disconnect your sway bar end links to allow for more articulation. Ability to stop on a hill without rolling back is nice. Comfortable seats are really an improvement, especially on long trips. Although we can’t relive the past, it’s important to remember technology is there to help us. There is no replacement for common sense, so don’t let your truck drive you, drive it and be safe. If you have any fun and not-sofun truck tales to share, please drop me a line.

Air conditioning was driving with your windows down and trying to breath in between dust clouds. GPS was your buddy screaming out, “I think it’s this road”. Most people used to sleep in the back of their trucks. However, I remember one time after a long day of four-wheeling pulling into an open area by a river where I found a nice sandy mound. With the aid of my flash light I quickly spread the sand out with my arms making a flat area in which to put my tent. It was about 5:30 a.m. when I first noticed the red ants crawling all around my sleeping bag. I was tired so killing the one at a time was not a big deal until I saw many climbing the side of the tent. I quickly got out of my tent to discover the sandy mound I found was

Automatic fourwheel drive was achieved by asking your passengers to step out and lock the front hubs.

the seat, which if you were lucky had some remaining padding still in it. Your seat belts would tighten up on every bump and if you didn’t stop you would be suffocated. You would be lucky if your radio would bring in a few channels on the AM band only! And the CB radio might just reach the driver in front of you. Wheel articulation really indicated your leaf spring was broken in half.
