Engine trouble forces pilot to land on lake
Students walk out to protest labour dispute
BY CHRIS BUSH THE NEWS BULLETIN
Rescuers credit a float plane pilot’s good airmanship and planning for a successful deadstick landing and rescue on the weekend. The incident happened shortly before noon Sunday moments after the float-equipped Cessna 185 lifted off from Nanaimo Airport on a flight to Bamfield. The aircraft was flying at an altitude of about 1,400 metres when the engine quit, but the pilot, who has not been identified, was able to glide the aircraft to a successful landing on Fourth Lake, about 40 kilometres southwest of Nanaimo. Capt. Trevor Reid, spokesman for CFB Comox, said the pilot was equipped with the most up-todate emergency equipment, but had just seconds to make correct decisions for a successful landing. The pilot had also broadcast his emergency by radio when the engine failed, which was picked up by the crew of a commercial flight and passed along to the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Victoria. “He was able to quite skilfully land his aircraft on Fourth Lake and was able to get it to shore,” Reid said. “Once ashore he set off his 406 megahertz emergency beacon.” The joint rescue centre launched a CH-149 Cormorant helicopter and CC-115 Buffalo airplane from the 442 Search and Rescue Squadron based in Comox to the pilot’s location.

JOB ACTION from teachers and lockout from employer leaves kids feeling caught in the middle. BY KARL YU THE NEWS BULLETIN

DEFINING SOCIAL
With the dispute between the province and teachers ongoing, Nanaimo students took to the streets to voice their displeasure Wednesday. The B.C. Student Walkout for Students took place across the province and many Nanaimo students said they felt stuck between the teachers and the province in the ongoing labour dispute. Teachers ramped up job action in late May, staging one-day, rotating strikes throughout the province. In response, the B.C. School Employers’ Association locked out teachers, barring them from working 45 minutes prior to and after school, and during breaks. Emma Montrose, a Grade 10 student from Dover Bay Secondary, said she is
outside
feeling stressed out about upcoming English and math provincial exams and needs more instruction. “For math especially, we’re doing trigonometr y and I don’t understand what we’re doing and because of the strike action and job action and all that, I’m unable to go in after class or during breaks to get further understanding in it,” Montrose said, adding that provincial exams start in less than two weeks. Montrose said she isn’t on the side of teachers or the province, but feels like students are paying the price for the labour dispute. “We’re really not on either side,” she said. “We’re frustrated because we’re being torn apart and they’re saying it’s for us when we’re not getting the help we need.” See ‘STUDENTS’ /5

Two auxiliary constables pull man from harbour
Auxiliary constables Darren Marshall and Rob Sampson are credited with saving the life of a distraught man they pulled from Nanaimo Harbour on the weekend. The officers were walking on the public fishing pier near Maffeo Sutton Park just before 7 p.m. Friday when a man elbowed his way past people and jumped into the water. The officers asked if he needed help, but the man didn’t answer and just floated on his back, apparently oblivious to his situation, as he drifted away from the pier. Marshall swam out to the man who had drifted about 2.5 metres from the pier, grabbed him by the collar and lifted him back onto the pier with help from Sampson and several bystanders. A regular RCMP member arrived and took the man to Nanaimo Regional General Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation.

Trustee pushing for record checks
I
DONNa aLLEN says all who work with children must be scrutinized. By Karl yu The News BulleTiN
The Nanaimo school district is hoping to have a criminal record check policy for trustees in place in time for municipal elections this November. The policy would call for trustees to provide a criminal record check after being elected. Trustee Donna Allen, who proposed the motion at the May 28 board meeting, said everybody who works with children must undergo a criminal record check and trustees are no different. “We do go into schools, some trustees more than others, we do work with children, we have positions of power so we are in schools and we need to make sure that we
come under the same guidelines as everybody else who is around children,” Allen said, adding that she is a retired teacher who has to undergo a check to keep her certificate. When asked whether it would be more practical to have checks prior to the election, Allen said school districts are doing their due diligence. “The best thing in the world, yes would be to, in my opinion, to have a criminal record check before you even ran for the school board, but we’re not there yet,” said Allen. “Individual school districts have decided that they are going to do due diligence for their school district.” Allen and trustees Bill Robinson, Sharon Welch, Kim Howland and Dot Neary voted for the motion, while Bill Bard, Nancy Curley and Jamie Brennan voted against. TerryLynn Saunders was absent from the meeting. Bard said he worries about trust-
ees’ privacy. He was found guilty of production of a controlled substance in 2006 and given a one-year conditional sentence and said his own record has been used against him personally, professionally and politically. “I’m concerned that there’s an issue of privacy, confidentially,” Bard said. “A file will pass between several hands, and I’m not saying that we don’t have very competent staff but that’s very sensitive information to risk exposure of.” He said there are ways for the checks to be done without risking leaks of private information and those options need to be examined. The aim is for district staff to develop the policy by the regular board meeting at the end of this month. Allen said following the meeting, there will be a notice of motion, during which time feedback can be provided and if necessary, changes will be made. A vote could come in August. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Infrastructure ranked among the top issues discussed at this year’s Federation of Canadian Municipalities conference, according to Mayor John Ruttan. Six Nanaimo city councillors went to the event at Niagara Falls, Ont., May 30-June 2, costing the city roughly $15,600. The annual event brings civic leaders from across the country together to discuss issues and take part in workshops and policy forums. Ruttan said this year infrastructure and the federal government’s new Building Canada fund were among the main issues talked about by civic leaders. “A lot of questions were related to a more equitable transfer of money recognizing that out of every tax dollar only eight cents goes to municipalities,” he said. “We are trying to find out what other financing opportunities there are in the way of grants and so on to help us, the cities, with our infrastructure.” Councillors Jim Kipp, Bill McKay, George Anderson, Diana Johnstone and Ted Greves also attended.
Ferry terminal slated for upgrades A four-week construction project is set to launch at the Nanaimo Harbour ferry terminal this fall. B.C. Ferries plans to upgrade the downtown ferry terminal after Labour Day to the tune of approximately $240,000. According to ferry corporation spokesman Darin Guenette, an old ticket booth will be replaced with a larger building that can also accommodate office space and storage. A small IT server room will also be constructed on site, and B.C. Ferries will remove a rental trailer, which is anticipated to free up traffic lane space for five to seven more cars. The project, which will run over four weeks, is not anticipated to hold up ferry traffic. A temporary, fullservice ticket booth will be set up on site. The last terminal renovation happened in 2011, when B.C. Ferries worked on the $420,000 passenger waiting room.

Pilot prepared for emergency situations From /1
The helicopter crew picked up the pilot, who was not injured, at about 1 p.m. and returned him to Nanaimo Airport where he was met by his family, Reid said. Reid credited the Cessna
pilot with good airmanship that included proper planning and making the right decisions when an emergency happened. “He had all his gear there and he was ready to go,” Reid said. “He was talking with the [search and
rescue technicians] on the helicopter and said he had picked his flight path to Bamfield because of the number of lakes that were available just in case he had to make an emergency landing.” photos@nanaimobulletin.com
How to shop for hearing aids And get the right ones at the right price! FREE INFORMATION SESSION JUNE 10 Shopping for hearing aids can be a complicated process. If you’re just starting your research, you likely have more questions than answers: • What features are important for your type and degree of hearing loss? • Why are hearing aids so expensive? • What’s the difference between the various brands? • How are the various styles different? • How long do they last? • How do hearing aid warranties really work? • Why are there so many hearing clinics these days? Hanan Merrill, • How can I avoid common problems and be Nanaimo Hearing successful in hearing better? Clinic If you haven’t noticed already, you will soon: there are a dizzying number of choices when it comes to hearing aids – everything from which brand to choose to which features you actually need (like Bluetooth compatibility, noise reduction and directional microphones, to name just a few). I know that when I’m making a major purchase decision I try to educate myself as much as possible before confronting a salesperson. Eventually, though, I get information overload. It’s then that I wish I could simply get the straight truth from a trusted expert. But who can you trust? Aren’t hearing care providers just going to try to convince you that their hearing aids are best? That’s precisely why I’m offering this hearing aid information session. I want to give you the inside information that will help you make an informed decision without any pressure to make quick decisions. Now, you’re probably thinking, “Sure, Hanan, a clever sales pitch disguised as an ‘information session.’” Truth be told, I’d love it if I could improve your quality of life by helping you hear better. After all, it’s how I make my living. But I also know that my business – and the success of my patients – is built on long, trusting relationships. It’s those relationships and successful outcomes that are my true rewards. Here’s what we’ll cover in the info session: • A quick overview of how hearing works • What to expect from a full hearing exam • How to choose your service provider • An overview of styles, brands, features and prices (and why hearing aids seem so expensive) • How to get the best deal and be successful with it • Why hearing aids are only part of the solution. This is the most important part of the information session! • Answers to YOUR questions The session will be followed by a question-and-answer period, and light refreshments will be served. You’ll also receive a free information package summarizing everything we cover during the session. Because I want everyone to feel comfortable and have time to ask their own questions, the seminar is limited to the first 20 participants who RSVP by calling 250-585-4100. When: Tuesday, June 10 (Two session times available) Afternoon session 1:00pm - 2:30pm Evening session 6:00pm - 7:30pm Where: Nanaimo Hearing Clinic, 501-5800 Turner Road (in the Northridge Village near Cactus Club) What to bring: Your questions Cost: FREE Space is limited, so please call 250-585-4100 to RSVP today Don’t simply buy the first hearing aids presented to you. Become empowered to make a smart choice that’s right for YOU!
Tourism sees new leadership The Tourism Leadership Committee will need to find a balance between day-to-day tourism marketing and destination development, according to the board’s new chairwoman. “I think there’s a lot of interesting challenges and opportunities we are going to be facing,” said Sandra Petryk, marketing and community engagement manager for the Nanaimo Airport and new chairwoman of the Tourism Leadership Committee. “There’s a lot of new opportunities like the Chinese market and the new hotels, but we are also working as a destination so there’s lots of development work to do [and] in addition, we still need to worry about today and tomorrow and attract visitors for that.” The Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation recently announced Petryk will take the helm of the Tourism Leadership Committee, an advisory body for Tourism Nanaimo. She will be taking over from Dan Brady, who was the chairman for the past two years. Petryk calls Brady “the driving force” that got the committee started and to the point that it’s at today. She hopes to continue to help the committee achieve its strategic plan and help it develop better governance and structure, she said. Five new members will also sit on the committee including: Inn on Long Lake manager James Young, Raj Banga, owner of Castaway and Royal motels, Geoff Wallace, general manager of the Best Western Northgate, Douglass Legg of Douglass Legg & Associates, and Leo Boon, chairman of the Greater Nanaimo Cycling Coalition.

Mounties seek Students concerned over exams missing man Nanaimo Mounties are asking for the public’s help to find Roy Ostling, 62, of Nanaimo. Ostling has been missing since May 29 and was last seen by his roommate as he left their home – the last time anyone is known to have seen him. Police said Ostling has no drug, alcohol or medical issues and has never left for an extended period without first telling a friend or a family member. His family and friends have had no contact with him, there has been no recent activity on any of his social media accounts and repeated attempts to contact him on his cellphone have gone unanswered. Ostling is Caucasian, 5-foot-10, 200 pounds, with blue eyes and ROY OSTLING grey hair. He wears glasses and has a moustache and goatee. When last seen he was wearing a ball cap and carrying a black backpack. He has a valid driver’s licence, but does not own a car. Anyone with information about Ostling’s whereabouts, please call Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345.
Jasper ParsleyKehoe, a Grade 10 student at Nanaimo District Secondary, has missed instruction time leading up to a French immersion math provincial. Like Montrose, she feels caught in the middle and said students’ needs should be taken into consideration, but added she is supportive of teachers. “It’s not about wages. It’s about class sizes, it’s about staffing. The wages are a small part that the government really likes to focus on so they can demonize the teachers,” ParsleyKehoe said. “I suppor t the teachers; I know that’s not the view of a lot of the students who are out here, but the teachers are really fighting for smaller class
sizes, which really aids in our education because you can get more oneon-one time with a teacher and with 31 people in a class to one teacher, you’re not getting any one-on-one time,” she said, pointing to her English and math classes as examples of packed classrooms.

uty superintendent John Blain recommended against student participation. District spokeswoman Donna Reimer said whether students are penalized is dependent on individual schools. “They will be marked absent for sure and I guess it would depend on each school but I think for the most part it would just be an absence,” Reimer said, adding about 400 students in the Nanaimo area walked out of class Wednesday.

Organizers are chalking up Bike to Work Week 2014 a big success as rider numbers nearly doubled for this year’s event. This year, 475 Nanaimo cyclists – an 80 per cent increase over 2013 – pedalled to improve their health, help the environment and see their city from a different vantage point. All that pedal power burned an
estimated 500,000 calories, the equivalent of 1,300 Nanaimo bars. Bike to Work week riders rode more than 17,000 kilometres and reduced greenhouse gas emissions by more 3,800 kilograms during this year’s event, which ran from May 26 to June 1. Twenty-four per cent of participants in 2014 identified themselves as new riders.

The B.C. legislature adjourned for the summer last week with opposition MLAs battling to the end against legislation to divide the Agricultural Land Reserve into two zones. The government used its majority to cut off debate and pass the bill, despite days of demands to withdraw it and complete promised consultation with farmers around the province. “You’re all a bunch of corrupt liars,” shouted NDP agriculture critic Nicholas Simons, before storming out of the chamber as the opposition’s time ran out. Simons returned to withdraw his comments so he could vote against the legislation. Independent MLAs Andrew Weaver and Vikki Huntington joined NDP critics in denouncing the move to ease restrictions on secondary farmland uses in the North, Kootenay and Cariboo zones. Another target of criticism was the move to formalize the six local Agricultural Land Commission panels to make decisions on exclusions and permitted uses. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick pointed to amendments made to the bill in response to criticism that emphasize that the ALC is independent and its top priority remains to preserve productive farmland. “We as a government believe that there’s an opportunity in some parts of the province where there is less pressure on agricultural land to give farmers some freedom in making sure they can be successful on that land,” Letnick said. Premier Christy Clark said the changes do not affect the Okanagan, Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island zones, which generate 85 per cent of B.C.’s farm income. “We are making it economic in areas with a shorter growing season, with less productive farmland, to be able to continue to make land valuable enough that they will pass it down to another family,” Clark said. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

All pupils need a strong start
We would be doing our children a disservice if we didn’t give them every chance to succeed with their schooling. So a new aboriginal education project in the city has definite potential. The Nanaimo Learning Centre will offer schooling for students in kindergarten through Grade 3. The aboriginal-focused, culturebased instruction will be supplemented by family services such as childcare, literacy programs and social work. Organizers in Nanaimo saw the need for a new school model because other aboriginal education programs either aren’t working, or are working too slowly. High school graduation rates are one measurement, and they indicate that only 50 per cent of First Nations youths in Nanaimo earn their diplomas each year. By addressing the problem at the primary grade levels, this new centre will try to instill foundational learning skills and maybe even a love for learning. There are some doubts. The fact that Nanaimo school district isn’t involved, whatever the reason, is a red flag, and fragmenting the public school system limits certain kinds of peer interaction. Of course there are other ways to address aboriginal grad rates. Teachers and administrators want to see all students succeed, and try to make it happen. Nanaimo school district offers alternative education options and there is an aboriginal outreach program that’s locally accessible. We know that children learn in radically different ways. Our high schools do churn out well-adjusted, well-educated, diplomawielding grads every June, but that means something a little different in each case and pupils arrive there in unique and diverse ways. If this new centre can provide an engaging curriculum and workable classroom composition, then it can give kids a strong start. A strong start is important. So is a strong finish. So is every step along the way. The Nanaimo News Bulletin is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

broken that needs to be fixed? It’s a good question that the government did not adequately answer. And credit also goes to the new agriculture minister, Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick. He put aside his partisan talking points and gave assurance that the government’s intention is to support farming in those places where non-farm income is the only thing that keeps people on the land. As soon as the theatrics had died down, the NDP sent out a fundraising plea to its members to help “save” the ALR. The party is broke and desperate, and it hopes to activate its declining donor base by portraying the changes as the imminent slaughter of its most sacred cow. Voters have three years before the next election to assess this situation. If there is a flood of exclusions of prime agricultural land, then the NDP will be able to make its case that its warnings were at least partially true. If not, then the government’s position will be vindicated. We’ll find out the truth. u Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

City overpaid for park purchase To the Editor,
Re: Parkland bought without public process, May 20. I have reviewed the information that the City of Nanaimo and B.C. Assessment have on the Linley Valley property the city has options on to purchase and I was hoping the information is wrong. The information I have indicates that the majority of council approved paying over three times the assessed value for the Linley Valley properties. The total assessed value is $2,536,000 and the majority of council believes paying $8 million is good use of our tax dollars. This is when councillors told us after careful line-by-line searching of the 2014-15 budget they could find no savings and had to increase our taxes by 2.5 per cent. Then we find out that the funds for this purchase are not solely from parkland acquisition funds but from 21 different accounts and reserve funds emptying just about every
cookie jar in the cupboard. We give the City of Nanaimo our hard-earned Canadian dollars and the majority of the council then spend them like pesos. We are only getting 30 cents’ value for every dollar spent. Council should purchase property to improve the city, but do it using a 100-cent dollar so we get full value. I am sorry to say this is not the first ‘30cent purchase’ the majority of council approved and I am afraid it may not be the last.
Terrance Wagstaff Nanaimo
Re: Parkland bought without public process, May 20. I certainly would not bemoan the purchase of this acreage in such an ecologically sensitive area and it is a worthy addition to the exceptionally diverse park facilities in our city. What is concerning is the fact that this was done behind closed doors, leaving so many questions. Why is the city paying in some cases three to four times the value for these lands? Under whose guidance was such a figure arrived at? And why now, when just months ago Mayor Ruttan stated there was absolutely no money available for the purchase of these lands? The use of in-camera meetings have their place, but have increased to the point that not only have they created mistrust in both our city council and staff but the idea that ‘we the people’ seem to be held in total contempt.

Nanaimo is already filled with tourist attractions and we need only market what we have, suggests letter writer.
Tourist attractions right in front of us Re: Nanaimo needs new tourist attractions, Letters, May 20. In my letter I made the suggestion on how to use the hotel tax collected which was by investing in tourism product development and not in advertising and marketing. The headline you gave the letter misses the point completely. We, Nanaimo, are the attraction – we just need to make that even more interesting by working on what we already have, not on building an attraction like a casino, the tallest hotel on the Island or the biggest waterslide from the top of the Colliery dams to the ocean; although that would be an exhilarating ride and a great attraction. If you don’t know what we have, just step out of the office and stroll the beaches, the parks and the waterfront for a starter.

To the Editor,
Re: Nanaimo needs new tourist attractions, Letters, May 20. I volunteered for many years at Tourism Nanaimo and served tourists from all over the world. I answered countless questions but cannot recall anyone decrying this town’s lack of tourist attractions. I never tried to sell what we don’t have. People do come here to golf, fish, beachcomb, scuba dive, kayak, and enjoy our incredible waterfront and many parks. Tourism Nanaimo promoted the idea of Nanaimo as a base, its central location giving ease of access to so many points of interest. I lost count of the number of locals who called in at Beban House seeking things to do. I’d run off a list of places of potential interest and was so often staggered by how little some Nanaimoites knew of their own town. Bill Gard via e-mail

It is time Nanaimo and its council move into the big league. Incinerator technology has substantially improved since the days I was responsible for the administration of the discharge from the Burnaby incinerator. The technology employed then was stateof-the-art and the permit to discharge contained clauses requiring the regional district to upgrade. What Nanaimo needs to do here is accept an offer from Metro Vancouver and proponents to build a facility with the following provisions: That the operators employ best available technology, and that a review and report on the technology be conducted every three years to assess impacts. That a long-term contract be signed with provisions to shut down the facility if monitoring indicates environmental criteria is not being met. That Metro Vancouver and proponents pay off the entire present-day debt of the City of Nanaimo and the Regional District of Nanaimo, and that an annual operational fee be charged to cover and exceed all the operational costs. This would translate into a substantial tax reduction for all of us and establish a sound financial position for years to come. If Metro Vancouver and proponents will not agree to these requirements, simply tell them to go away.

V.I. Raiders prospects full of potential I JR. FOOTBALL team excited to announce first few recruits. BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
The V.I. Raiders’ 10th-anniversary season is a chance to celebrate the past. It’s also a time to look ahead toward the next decade, and that’s how the new recruits start to figure in. Junior football’s signing day was June 1, with high school and midget prospects determining where they wish to play this coming season. Right away the Raiders revealed half a dozen recruits – quarterback Brody Taylor, receiver Kalven Kellock and fullback Justin Cook from Nanaimo, quarterback Michael Lemoine from North Vancouver, receiver Evan Rhode from Chemainus and defensive lineman Kaelan Botel from Prince George. “We’re pretty excited,” said Curtis Hansen, Raiders assistant coach. “We’ve had interest from all over the country, like we normally do.” Taylor, Kellock and Cook were part of the Barsby Bulldogs’ 2013 provincial AA varsity championship victory. Taylor, Top Offensive Back in that game, has been on the Raiders’ radar for some time, and viceversa. “They’ve been there, they’ve been winning, they’ve been successful and with the coaching staff and everything, it just seems like a good fit for me,” said Taylor. Hansen said Rhode was an exciting playmaker with the Cowichan Bulldogs last season. Evan is the son of late Nanaimo sports reporter Michael Rhode, who covered the Raiders for five seasons. “I’ve just really enjoyed watch-

ing the Raiders from when I was little, to growing up, and it’s something I’ve really been excited about,” Evan Rhode said. Kaelan Botel is the younger brother of former Raiders running back Jordan Botel. The new recruits like the way the 2014 team is shaping up. “I think we’re going to have a really hard-working team and we’re all going to work together as one group,” said Rhode. To do so, the rookies will need to keep up with the pace of junior football. Leading up to main camp, players are expected to get bigger, faster and stronger. Taylor said part of the adjustment is mental. “Just the mindset of play-
ing with older guys,” he said. “Coming in and competing, not thinking that since they’re older that they’re going to be better than you. You need to play up to their standards.” The Raiders didn’t sign all the prospects on their wish list, but they still have their eye on a few Nanaimo players who haven’t yet committed to any program. “Recruiting’s a dog-eat-dog world,” Hansen said. “We just want to put forward the best opportunity for these young men and keep our local guys at home.” He said it’s a huge decision to move away from home, or move to Nanaimo for that matter, and said the Raiders try to make players aware of what to expect.
Quickfacts V.I. RAIDERS kick off the 2014 B.C. Football Conference season on July 26. For season ticket information, please call 250-760-0058.
In the meantime, Raiders coaches are reassessing the roster daily, Hansen said. Signing day isn’t any kind of deadline, after all. “[It’s] not a big day for us to rush to the finish line,” the assistant coach said. “The finish line is at the end of the season, after Game 10, and then it all starts again.” sports@nanaimobulletin.com

The Hub City Paving Pirates play doubleheaders at Serauxmen Stadium on Saturday (June 7) and Sunday against the Whalley Chiefs and North Delta Blue Jays. “It’s at that time now when we need to take care of the games against teams that are close to us…” said Doug Rogers, Pirates manager. “We need to climb that ladder a little bit.” T h e P i r a t e s w e re swept by the Chiefs last weekend in Surrey, but Nanaimo gave up a late lead in that one and feels like it should be able to beat Whalley. “[Players] should be up for those games. We gave a couple away so a little payback would be nice,” Rogers said. The Pirates will need more than just motivation, though. The manager said players need better approaches at the plate, they need to take care of the baseball defensively and pitchers need to throw strikes. “They know it,” said Rogers. “It’s just a matter of executing it now.” GAME ON … Saturday’s games are at noon and 2:30 p.m. and Sunday’s action is scheduled for 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Senior A T-men build some depth
High-scoring juniors lose to Shamrocks
Acme Timbermen extend win streak
The Nanaimo Timbermen will keep tweaking the lineup as they try to keep pace in the Western Lacrosse Association. Jake Emms returned to the lineup last game and scored a goal, and new addition Dan Alger brought some grit. “It’s starting to come together,” said Kaleb Toth, the team’s coach. The senior A Timbermen play just one game this week, hosting the Maple Ridge Burrards on Sunday (June 8) at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena. Tickets will be available at the door.
The junior A Timbermen played a wild one on Tuesday and ended up getting outscored. Nanaimo lost 16-13 to the Victoria Shamrocks down the Malahat. Brett Hawrys scored four goals and eight points, Mitch Parker also had a four-goal game and Corey Shires had two goals and three assists. Nanaimo will play the Langley Thunder on Saturday (June 7) at 4 p.m. at the Island Savings Centre in Duncan, then host the New Westminster Salmonbellies on Sunday at 5 p.m. at the Nanaimo Ice Centre.
The Acme Painting Timbermen earned a weekend off. The senior B lacrosse team won three games in four days, beating the Port Moody Thunder 14-3 on Saturday at the Nanaimo Ice Centre, winning 8-6 against the Royal City Capitals the next day in New Westminster and then handling the Langley Warriors 10-5 Tuesday on the mainland. Steve Higgs scored five goals against Moody and Jon Diplock scored four against New West. The team’s next home game is June 14.

VINCENT OLIVER HASKER d 05.11.14
Vince was born at a very young age in The Pas, Manitoba and retained much of his childlike joy throughout his 89 years. Vince was a wonderful photographer who loved to sing and especially to dance. He was a man of many talents who had an appreciation of all things creative. Imbued with a wonderful sense of humour and a gift for storytelling, Vince loved to hear other people’s stories and to share his own. His greatest joy however, came from being with the people he loved. Predeceased by his wife Marjorie (Bond) & brother Bryant, Vince is survived by his brother Wallace (Jean), his children - Ann van der Griendt (Hank), Betty Hasker (Glorie), Cyndy Gibson, Duncan Hasker (Suzanne), 7 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren and by his companion, Anne Walker. Services were held for the family on May 14th, 2014 in Nanaimo, BC. A celebration of his life will take place at 1:30 PM at the Christ Church Anglican on July 17th, 2014 in The Pas. The family would like to thank the staff & residents of Kiwanis Village in Nanaimo for their kindness and care of Vince, and the ICU staff of Nanaimo General Hospital for their incredible compassion. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations in Vincent’s name be made to either of these 2 fine facilities. Vince always marched to the beat of his own drum and will be missed.

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our beloved Father, Poppa, Uncle, and (Great) Grandfather, Louis Wayte. Born July 17, 1921 in Coventry, England, to Thomas Henry Wayte and Mary Ellen Moore, Louis slipped away peacefully in the company of family on May 16, 2014 at N.R.G.H. He was predeceased by his dearest Patricia, his parents, nine siblings, step-son Derek Lepsoe, and grandson Daniel Lepsoe. Louis is survived by his daughter, Louise (Mike) Pearson; step-sons, Robert (Cora) Lepsoe, Christopher (Janet) Lepsoe; step-daughter-in-law, June Lepsoe; grandchildren, Larissa (Peter) Richards, Bryanna Pearson, Diana Pearson, Karen Snowshoe, Robert (Felice) Lepsoe, Kevin (Catherine) Lepsoe, Stephanie (Duncan McAndrew) Lepsoe, Christina Lepsoe, Michael Lepsoe; two great-grandchildren Mila and Beatrix; and many nieces and nephews. In 1939, Louis enlisted in the R.A.F., earning the D.F.M. during WWII as a Lancaster rear gunner. After the war he attended Teachers’ College in England, came to Powell River, BC on a teaching exchange, returned to England briefly, and then immigrated to Canada. He eventually retired in 1979 from a rewarding long career as a teacher and librarian at Woodlands School in Nanaimo. His great passions were reading, golf, cryptic crosswords, athletics, acting, and a 4pm Newcastle Brown! He was a lifelong member of the Nanaimo Golf and Country Club and an engaging volunteer at the Nanaimo Military Museum. All who knew him will miss his storytelling and wealth of knowledge on a myriad of subjects. Thank you to all the family and friends who supported us with love and prayers and to the medical staff that attended Louis during his stay at N.R.G.H. A Celebration of Life will be held from 1-3pm on June 22, 2014 at 1080 Highview Terrace, Nanaimo. Flowers are gratefully declined in lieu of a donation to a charity of your choice. Bonsoir, God bless, and sleep tight.

When it comes to writing music, singersongwriter B.A. Johnston touches on all the things he knows best. “I write a lot of
songs about food, video games and failure. The things I know a lot about,” Johnston said. In fact, his songs touch on everything from drinking beer, to frozen waffles, to cashing GST cheques, lawn gnomes and there is even a song about a fair in Beamsville, Ont. Johnston, who has released over five
albums and is working on another, will be singing about all his favourite subjects tonight (June 5) in Nanaimo. “I think with my stuff it is one or the other. You either love it or you hate it,” Johnston said. “Some people really love it and some people really hate it.” Johnston’s stop in the Harbour City is
just one of a handful on a cross-country tour. “It’s always good to get out,” he said. B.A. Johnston performs at the Cambie Thursday at 10 p.m. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

and watching the sky. So he decided to express his love for the sky in his latest art exhibit, Clouds, which features a handful of oil paintings that depict various cloud formations in the spring time. “I would say it’s various extremes of the sky. The spring is kind of a volatile month,” Corraini said about the exhibit. Clouds is currently on display at Pier 97 Restaurant.
Owner Uli Fritzsche said that this is the first of many art exhibits that are planned for the restaurant. “I want to get a number of artists to come in here and exhibit,” said Fritzsche, an artist herself. “I know there are artists looking for space.” When it comes to touching on various themes in his artwork, Corraini knows no bounds.
His previous exhibit, A Bawdy of Work, was sciencefiction themed and featured paintings of aliens. “This shows you how versatile I am,” Corraini said. “I could do very realistic work, I could do West Coast inspired but I really love doing aliens.” Clouds is on display at Pier 97 Restaurant, 505 Terminal Ave., until June 10. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Welcome to the driver’s seat
“According to Google Maps, the drive to some tasty yet simple food fare will take approximately 6 hours and 5 minutes, and is about 684 kilometres.” Alexandra Straub
Visit the Audi gallery at DrivewayCanada.ca
How far would you travel for a home cooked meal? Munich, Germany – There’s no shortage of places to chow down here in Bavaria but that’s not really what I had in mind. Sometimes you just by Alexandra Straub hanker for some good ol’ fashioned home cooking and the desire makes distance no object. According to Google Maps, the drive to some tasty yet simple food fare will take approximately six hours and five minutes, and is about 684 kilometres. One way. That’s not including the approximately 8,300 kms travelled to get to Munich, Germany.

I’ve got the use of a bright red 2015 Audi A3 and a full tank of gas, so why not?

Mustang gets finishing touches Our classic and collector car expert continues today with the third part of his four-part series on the restoration of public relations executive Laura Ballance’s rare 1967 Ford Mustang T5 by 360 Fabrication in Abbotsford. The Mustang T5 body shell has been painted, clear coated, wet-sanded, re-cleared and finally polished to a show quality finish. Now comes the fun part of a restoration, the reassembly, opening boxes and fitting all of those new parts. This is as close as you can get to being a car factory assembly line worker except you are doing every task instead of just one, and you have all the time that is needed and not having to work to the speed of a moving production line. One of the upgrades that the T5 will receive is a new product designed to dampen and suppress the driveline and road noise, making the inner cabin as quiet as possible and a bit like a modern car. The foil covered pads have a peel off backing and are adhered to every inner sheet metal panel such as the roof, floor, doors and bulkhead. The next step is to install the new wiring harness; old wiring harnesses become brittle over time due to heat and corrosion

The Mustang T5 gets its body shell painted, clear-coated and wet-sanded. at the joints and terminals, ask the owner of any British sports car from that era. The interior has been completely renewed from top to bottom staring with the headliner, trim panels, carpets, dash pads and the seats have all been reupholstered. Before the new back glass and windshield are installed (all of the other glass panels have been replaced) the new vinyl top is installed. Installing a vinyl roof is not a task that is performed very often these days
but 360 have the skills to do this in-house. LKQ stocks a huge selection of high quality muscle car sheet metal and parts. “If you are doing a premium muscle car restoration the only sheet metal you want to use is from LKQ,” said Rick Francoeur at 360. The exterior panels will soon have their final fitting. They have been fitted and removed during the restoration process countless times to make sure that the panel gaps are correct. The final fitting process will
The compact 3 Series sedan is the definitive BMW and the most popular car made by the Bavarian Motor Works. The fifth generation (2006 to 2011) of the 3 Series line had, by 2010, expanded to include Touring (wagon), two-door coupe and cabriolet editions, in addition to the sedan, which is internally know as the E90. Primarily a rear-drive vehicle with an in-line six cylinder engine up front, the 2010 sedan came as a 323i (2.5-litre), 328i (3.0-litre), 335i (twinturbo 3.0-litre) and 335d, with a twin-turbo 3.0-litre diesel engine. All-wheel-drive sedan
editions, with the x-Drive system, were the 328i xDrive and the 335i xDrive. There’s also an ultra high-performance and pricey M3 edition, with 4.0-litre V8 engine. A six-speed manual came standard and is a popular transmission with 3 Series buyers. The automatic option was either a conventional six-speed (with a manual mode) or a sevenspeed dual-clutch gearbox. Moving ahead, the 2011 3 Series came with a minor exterior refresh that included new headlight units with LED signals, modified bumpers and air intakes and new taillights.

Before the original V8 engine was removed from the car it underwent a compression check, all of the cylinders had equal and strong readings so a complete re-build was not necessary. The carburetor has been replaced with a new two-barrel, the automatic transmission has been completely re-built as has the rear axle. Rick talked Laura out of fitting a modern rack and pinion power

While most auto manufacturers provide option lists as long as your arm, the 2014 Buick Enclave provides many luxuries as standard equipment. Particularly appreciated by yours truly on an extended test drive were the perforated leather seats that conform to your body and provide comfort and warmth via easily accessible heater/air conditioning buttons. I found the Enclave to be very comfortable and the cabin to be very quiet, in fact there was little if any road noise. Seating for seven with an option for eight, gives riders plenty of room and all seats are very comfortable. The second seats slide forward easily thanks to ‘Smart Slide’, enabling quick access to the third-row seating area. With the pull of a lever, the cushion flips up while the seatback slides forward. The system can be adjusted to provide more legroom either for those in the second row or third. I should also note the ice blue LED light strip that envelops the entire inside of the vehicle at night, forming a chest high ring of light. The Enclave features enough technological upgrades to excite any techno-savvy person To read this article in its entirety, please visit www.drivewaybc.ca.

steering kit or even upgrading the manual steering box to a power-assisted unit so it will be reliving the Armstrong steering experience for Laura when parking at low speeds. One safety upgrade is the installation of original Ford front disc-brakes; these are a must in today’s traffic. Collector vehicle drivers are very cautious, invariably when accidents occur it is the drivers around you that are not paying attention or cutting you off. 360 have done their research and paid a lot of attention to detail during this rebuild, right down to avoiding the temptation of installing an exhaust system with two tailpipes. Next week, we will explore what exactly a T5 is, how rare they are and explore some of the events that Laura and her brand new old car car will be attending in this 50th anniversary year of the Ford Mustang. nmatthews@hagerty.com

Habitat for Humanity Mid-Vancouver Island has opened its application process for new partner families for an upcoming duplex project in south Nanaimo on Extension Road. “We are looking for two low-income, hard working families this year to partner with Habitat for our latest building project,” said Teresa Ludvigson, executive director. “Often families don’t realize they may qualify and we really encourage anyone meeting our criteria to apply. A Habitat home has helped many local families break the cycle of poverty and empower them with home ownership. Families do not need a down payment and they hold an interestfree mortgage.” Habitat is seeking families who are struggling with their current living situation and otherwise unable to afford a down payment to partner with Habitat for Humanity. Partner families save

Goal hits halfway point
With more than $1 million and 526,000 pounds of food donated across Canada during the Extra Helping food drive, Loblaw Companies is more than halfway to achieving its 2014 goal of $1.8 million and 1.8 million pounds of food. British Columbians have helped to replenish food bank supplies in the province with $84,005 and 36,128 pounds of food donated by customers and colleagues from Real Canadian Superstore and other Loblaw stores across the province during the

Run for Life raises hospital money Organizers say the 11th annual Run for Life was a success, despite the traditional West Coast weather. About 215 runners registered for the five-kilometre fun run and walk through Bowen Park for the Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation. As donations continue to roll in, the foundation hopes to reach its goal of $35,000. Central Vancouver Island financial institutions work in partnership to host the Run for Life and this year’s proceeds will help purchase new equipment needed to complete two new operating rooms at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. The hospital foundation pledged to raise 50 per cent of the cost, or $1.5 million. The
rooms are expected to be complete in the fall of 2014. For the third year in a row Mai Pham was the top pledge earner and won a trip for two to the
Extra Helping Spring food drive of 2014. “Year after year our customers contribute food items or add a few dollars to their grocery bill to ensure that families in their community have enough to eat,” said Peggy Hornell, senior director of community investment. This year’s holiday

Beefs & bouquets BOUQUET To the young man at the bus stop who found the money I dropped and to Julie who so kindly returned it. BEEF To transit drivers. Try slowing down and doing the posted speed limit in schools zones and residential streets. It is not your right to determine what speed is acceptable no matter the time of day. BOUQUET To the author of the ‘unemployed neighbour’ series. I doubt this writer actually has an unemployed neighbour, but your witty sense of humour gives many of us a good chuckle. Nice way to start the day – thanks for that. BEEF To the horse owners and riders who apparently do not care that their droppings are all over the path. And on the gravel path right across from Aspengrove School. It is truly disgusting. BOUQUET To coaches Mike and Jessica of Team France. You manage to teach the boys both soccer skills and life skills and wrap it all up in fun. Your positive attitude, dedication and commitment to the boys never goes unnoticed. BEEF To the garbage men who did not empty the garbage can today at Hammond Bay Road and McGuffie Road. Even though the garbage can is big, it was only half full. BOUQUET To the students, staff and parents of McGirr Elementary School for their continued and generous support of the Justin Smith Coin Drive and Scholarship Fund. It is your kindness that has helped dozens of graduating students pursue their dreams of a career in the medical field. BEEF To the self-proclaimed interior designer/landlord who continually rents out a house that has many violations concerning health and safety standards. It’s only a matter of time before your next renters figure out that they are paying a ridiculous amount of money to live in a leaky, mold-infested, electrically hazardous and structurally unsafe house.
MCLAREN LIGHTING.COM
BOUQUET To the man in the Canadian Tire parking lot who helped my boyfriend and I get a recently purchased wheelbarrow home. When I offered to give him gas money, he said it was his good deed for today. BEEF To the lady who drives a burgundy Mazda. You are the only employee in the plaza who insists on front door parking rather than leaving it for paying customers. Maybe you should do the nice thing, like the rest of us, and use one of the other several parking stalls and leave front door parking for customers. BOUQUET To the man and his young son at Wal-Mart who stopped to offer help in the parking lot when our truck wouldn’t start. We were so grateful. BEEF To the owner of the restaurant for leaving their vehicle parked on Commercial Street for hours, taking up customer parking. A bigger beef to the city parking patrol who never seem to issue a ticket. BOUQUET To the team of volunteers and customers at the Morrell Sanctuary Society who made the 20th annual plant sale and raffle fundraiser a resounding success. BEEF To the person complaining about horses and their poop. You cannot compare to dogs’ poop as horses do not eat meat. Not to mention it is a rare occurrence and better to scoop the poop for your backyard – it is a great fertilizer.
BOUQUET To the volunteer drivers of the Freemasons’ cancer vans who take cancer patients to Victoria for treatment which is not available closer to home. BEEF To all cyclists who don’t have a bell or don’t use it when coming up behind pedestrians on sidewalks or pathways. It’s only a matter of time before we have a serious collision. BOUQUET To Baron’s Appliance Repair, which fixed the door for my front-load washer. you saved me an expense I don’t need at this time. We need more helpful people and businesses like you in this world. BEEF To the employee who found my expensive and sentimental native bracelet and turned it in because someone saw her. But then had someone phone and describe the bracelet and consequently claim it just three days after it was found. BOUQUET To Fairway Market for the lovely Mother’s Day gift basket.
BEEF To whomever put signage on Ross Road near seniors’ residences saying “slow down, seniors at play.” It’s downright insulting to our seniors whose only problem is moving more slowly. They’re not in their second childhood. BOUQUET To the kind lady who helped me pick up my husband, who fell flat on his back in the Wal-Mart parking lot in May. Thank you – I could not have done it alone. BEEF To the residence where I last spotted my scooter that went missing the night before. You have taken a disabled persons means of getting around. And to the police for taking 45-60 minutes to respond to my call. This allowed them to remove the scooter from the property. BOUQUET To all the home care nurses, especially Barb and Julie for the tender care they gave my husband, George, in his final weeks. You made everything so much easier to bear. BEEF To the police for not policing, and flat tires to all you other drivers in this city. Speeding, talking and or texting on their cellphones through a school zone. To the drivers in clearly marked City of Nanaimo vehicles doing the same. BOUQUET To Nanaimo Regional General Hospital tech Marianne for her warm and caring support when I found myself disoriented after a CAT scan early in May. BEEF To whomever took our swimming towels off the bench at the aquatic centre on Saturday afternoon. It was really difficult to get myself and my five-year-old son dry, let alone having to explain what theft is. BOUQUET To the designated driver, no matter what the police might say about his car’s tinted windows.
