Community responds to call for volunteers By Chris Bush THe NewS bULLeTiN
When Dirk Heydemann, director of photography for the 2014 B.C. Summer Games, checked in with volunteer photographers to confirm they were still committed to shooting the Games’ team pictures and medal presentations, about 15 of them said they had to drop out because of family or health issues, they were moving and other reasons. Fearing he might lose even more photographers, Heydemann put out an urgent call for
replacements on social media, where respondents quickly replaced most of the losses. “I’d like to have 50 to 60 photographers throughout the weekend,” Heydemann said. “We’ve got some people who are volunteering just four hours and some who are volunteering the whole four days, so I feel much better.” Attracting and committing volunteers has ranked among the top challenges for games organizers. About 3,200 are needed to support operations and the 3,500 athletes plus coaching staff.

Nanaimo’s tourism industry has no where to go but up. That’s the word from Frank Bourree, principal of Victoriabased Chemistry Consulting Group Inc., on the heels of a recent tourism report. According to Chemistry’s May tourism bulletin, the Harbour City has seen year-overyear increases in activity at the Nanaimo airport, the Vancouver Island Conference Centre and local hotels and motels. The airport saw a 29-per cent increase in traffic over May 2013, while the average occupancy rate is up 6.4 per cent – a number that translates into $250,000 in additional room revenue when coupled with higher average daily room rates. Vehicles and passengers for B.C. Ferries have slipped, dropping 8.5 per cent, but bus traffic is up 36 per cent. Those in the tourism industry are optimistic the upswing in tourism will carry through the summer and beyond, thanks to awareness campaigns by Tourism Nanaimo, a resurgence in American travellers and stay-

cationers. The city also skirted June-uary weather this year with less rain and higher temperatures than normal between May and July, and plans to host major multi-day events like the B.C. Summer Games. “I think we will see great numbers for this year,” said Lesley Anderson, executive director of destination management for Tourism Nanaimo, who anticipates July alone will yield good statistics. “I think we are seeing a lot of positive signs from the Asian markets; we are seeing rebounding of the U.S. market, we are actively promoting in the Pacific Northwest and Alberta, which are strong markets for us, we have new airline capacity ... all of those things are contributing, in addition to a major sporting event.” Scott Littlejohn, owner of Living Forest Oceanside Campground and RV Park, has seen tourism make a comeback since the 2008 recession, when people seemed to put travel plans on hold. He’s calling this year his bestever with double-digit increases in clientele over May alone. See ‘FERRY’ /7

Lee's Desk The Sleep Paradox
While quantities last no rainchecks
The most important part of our lives is to sleep. Too little is bad for you - but so is too much. Without a regular amount, and this varies with age, gender, and condition, our lives can take us on a downward spiral. It has been proven that sleep deprived individuals can have worse test results in activities than those who have too much to drink! Sleep deprivation affects our mood...our coordination...our focus...and of course our energy supply along with an enormous number of other ailments. We lose the ability to sleep for many different reasons...like too much caffein...not enough exercise at the right time of day...hormone imbalances...stress issues and many other daily problems. We can certainly take steps to improve how well we snooze. An improvement in diet is a good start with less calories a day and more fresh produce and quality protein. We need to introduce more fibre and reduce most of the sugars we see so much of today. A modest amount of exercise 5-6 hours before sleep can also help. Too early, exercise loses its sleep affect, too late, it can keep us up. We also need to consider a our mental well being because it is believed that this area is more than 90% responsible for poor sleep. If you need help in this area find someone who can teach you to relax and let go. You could say your life depends on it. Some success has been found with supplements like melatonin, l-Theanine, GABA, herbal sedatives, vitamin D and more protein. Continued sleep problems can cause many physical disorders so keep working hard at finding the answer you need to help you sleep better! Please let us know if we can help you feel better.

Opgaard leaves legacy at VIU
I
FIrSt PrESIdENt died Sunday in Tacoma, Wash.
By Shari BiShop BoweS Carl Opgaard arrived in Nanaimo with his young family in February 1969 to begin his role as founding president of Malaspina College (now Vancouver Island University), beginning a decade of leadership fundamental to building and growing the institution from its first 700 students that year to the 17,000 students who attend today. Opgaard, who died on July 6 in Tacoma, Wash., at age 85, arrived in Nanaimo at the very beginnings of Malaspina College. “We are deeply saddened to learn of Dr. Opgaard’s passing,” said Ralph Nilson, VIU president and vice-chancellor. “So much that has been achieved at VIU is due to his vision, hard work and passion. Dr. Opgaard’s firmly held belief that the college must reflect the needs of the communities it serves continues today at VIU.” Joining a staff of just three people at offices on Wallace Street in Nanaimo, Opgaard and his team secured a lease at the old hospital on Ken-
nedy Street as temporary space for the college’s first students arriving in September 1969. Opgaard was born Feb. 18, 1929 in Fort Ransom, N.D. He began his teaching career in a one-room country school at age 17, and went on to complete a doctorate in education from the University of Washington. After 10 years with Malaspina College, Opgaard resigned to take the position of president at Dakota State College in Madison, S.D. A position as president of Tacoma Community College brought Opgaard back to Washington state, where he retired in 1990 with his wife Phyllis. They had four children: Cheryl, Jane, Jill and John. “My father always had a soft spot in his heart for Malaspina and Nanaimo,” said John Opgaard. Carl Opgaard shared many of the stories of Malaspina College’s first years in a memoir titled From Country School to College President, published in 2010. In his memoir, Opgaard reflected on the energy and excitement of launching a brandnew college. “Those several months were certainly the busiest period of my life,” he wrote.

Psychiatric evidence key By Karl yu
The News BulleTiN
The trial of a Nanaimo man accused of murdering his father is expected to conclude July 18. Aaron Roger Harvey, 27 at the time of the February 2013 incident, was charged with seconddegree murder of Roger Harvey, 69, whose body was found at an apartment on Rock City Road. Aaron Harvey suffers from schizophrenia. According to Jackie Gaudet, Crown counsel, psychiatric evidence is all that remains and is scheduled to be heard on Monday (July 14). Two forensic psychiatrists, Dr. Wahan Wanis and Dr. Shabehram
Lohrasbe, are set to testify. Judge Mary Humphries will also rule on whether the evidence can be admitted into the Crown’s case. “Right now, the Crown is trying to prove its case but the Crown would like to open up the possibility to hear psychiatric evidence,” said Gaudet. “It’s the Crown’s view that the court should hear evidence of not criminally responsible by reason of mental disorder. “That psychiatric evidence will be in a voir dire. It’s like a mini trial within a trial to find out if that evidence is admissible,” she said. The Supreme Court case, which began on June 23, does not have a jury.

Organizers focused on feeding, transporting athletes From /1
“Accommodations and security, they’re last ones to fill up and they’re the most critical because it’s all for the security of the athletes and ensuring they’re provided a secure space where they can get proper rest,” said Jeff Lott, president. Volunteer registrations picked up the first week of July as people stepped up to register and have criminal record checks done.
Lott, a self-described eternal optimist, doesn’t anticipate problems leading up to the Games. With volunteer issues sorted out, organizers have turned to fine-tuning the logistics of feeding and moving people and equipment, including setting up kitchen facilities in John Barsby Secondary School, which will serve 35,000 meals during the Games. About 70 buses will shuttle people between competition
venues and sleeping accommodations. Another 40 cargo vehicles will transport food, sport and sleeping equipment from an inventory stored at the old Madill building on Bowen Road. “We’re pretty well done the planning at this point,” said Jenn Houtby-Ferguson, director of promotions. “Now we’re into implementation and pretty much ready to push the start button.” photos@nanaimobulletin.com

Parties gear up for next year’s federal election
Umbrella loan program helps beach-goers find shade at Westwood By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN
New cover has opened up for shade-seekers at Nanaimo’s Westwood Lake. Beach-goers are now able to borrow umbrellas at Westwood Lake beach as part of a new initiative being tested by the City of Nanaimo and the Canadian Cancer Society. The program, which rolled out June 30, is all about encouraging families to be sun smart. According to the Canadian Cancer Society and the report, Canadian Cancer Statistics 2014, melanoma skin cancer has become one of the fastest-rising cancers in the country, with an estimated 6,500 new cases expected to be diagnosed this year. National surveys also show Canadians are spending more time in the sun without adequate protection. Damon Johnston, the city’s assistant aquatics manager, says the umbrellas are meant to make it easy On a day like for people find shade a beach that’s today when it’s on sunny almost all day as well as ensure really hot out, long, people understand almost all the the health concerns causes around umbrellas are and skin cancer. Lifeguards monitor used. the program, which currently offers a dozen umbrellas that people can take and return when they no longer need the cover. “It’s really simple. There’s no exchange of drivers’ licences or anything like that,” Johnston said. “If they are available, people can have access to them ... they can have [the umbrellas] for the whole day if they want.” So far, the program has been well-received, Johnston said. “On a day like today when it’s really hot out, almost all the umbrellas are used,” he said. Nanaimo resident Nancy Ellett was lounging under two of the umbrellas with friend, Paige Foster, Tuesday afternoon as the mercury soared to the high 20s. Ellett said the program is fantastic and would like to see the city offer more chances for people to get in the shade. At one point, all the umbrellas had been loaned out and she had to fight to get a second, she said, chuckling. Anika Gallacher, who was at the lake with her two children, also likes the idea. She forgot to bring her own umbrella and another beachgoer introduced her to the city’s initiative. “We put sunscreen on, but the more protection the better,” she said.

Tales of the sand men Sand sculptors Fred Dobbs, left, and Craig Mutch of Craig Mutch Creations, build a sand sculpture at Woodgrove Centre Friday. The sculpture, inspired by local author and illustrator Dianna Bonder, depicts characters from her book A.B. Sea: A Deep Sea Symphony. The sculpture, completed Wednesday, will be on display until Aug. 6 and was created to help Woodgrove Centre celebrate the opening of the Nanaimo North branch of the Vancouver Island Regional Library.

With the next Canadian federal election scheduled for 2015, some prospective candidates are beginning to emerge in the newly formed Nanaimo-Ladysmith riding. The Conservative Party of Canada’s does not have any confirmed candidates in the riding at the moment, according to Will Geselbracht, electoral district association president, who also said there aren’t any set deadlines for declaring yet. The Nanaimo-Ladysmith riding has four approved federal NDP candidates so far, said Ken Pearce, electoral district riding association president. Natasha Bob, Nanoose First Nation councillor; Kip Wood, a math teacher in the Nanaimo school district; Dominique Roelants, a lawyer and professor at VIU; and Sheila Malcolmson, Islands Trust council chairwoman, are seeking the party’s endorsement. The Nanaimo-Ladysmith NDP nomination meeting is Oct. 5, according to Pearce, who also said nominations close 15 days before the nomination meeting. Andre Lemieux, riding association president for the federal Liberals, said there are quite a few inter-

ested candidates but none he can currently mention. He said the riding association is aiming for a nomination meeting in the fall but there is a potential scheduling conflict with municipal elections in November. “There’s a conflict with the civic elections, so it’s one of our issues and we’re trying to plan for the right time, not to conflict with the municipal elections,” Lemieux said. He said the association would like to see prospective candidates declare as soon as possible and preferably before Aug. 1. The Green Party of Canada doesn’t have any confirmed Nanaimo-Ladysmith candidates yet and according to Kathryn Hazel, Green Party electoral district association CEO, the party executive targets people who have a strong history of community involvement and support party policies. “The Green Party is adopting a strategy that we want to have several candidates lined up in different ridings and then we’re going to make a major announcement,” Hazel said, adding it isn’t known yet when the announcement will be made, but it is under discussion. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

EDITORIAL
Illegal dumping disrespectful Out of sight, out of mind? Unfortunately, too many people still have that attitude and persist with illegal dumping. All of us in Nanaimo should count ourselves fortunate that our city interfaces with the wilderness. The forests are our neighbourhood and most of us respect that relationship, but too many still don’t. Furniture, tires, rusted metal, scrap wood, whatever – just because we don’t tie it up in a garbage bag doesn’t mean it’s not garbage. Those who dump illegally are disrespectful and selfish because they’re just leaving it to someone else to pick up after them. River, shoreline and underwater cleanup groups, outdoor recreation clubs and Doumont Restoration Project volunteers all participate in cleanups, even though there are probably other ways they could be spending their time. According to the Regional District of Nanaimo, 42 tonnes of illegally dumped material had to be recovered and properly disposed of in 2012. Throwing garbage in the woods isn’t just unsightly, it can also damage and even poison animal and fish habitats. Illegal dumping of yard scraps isn’t as egregious, but it can encourage others to cheat. Even folks in well-to-do neighbourhoods wheelbarrow their hedge trimmings into the woods, sometimes under cover of night, and they look ridiculous. Are illegal dumpers trying to prove a point? Tipping fees are too high, so they won’t comply? We disagree. We should absolutely pay a premium for our role in cramming our landfills and leaving behind a big ol’ pile of garbage on our planet. In 2014, people who dump illegally are pariahs and should be made to feel that way. It’s easy to report incidents; the RDN has an online form and has been known to issue hefty fines. At the very least, we should glare at offenders; if we’d like to do more, we can join a cleanup effort. When it comes to trash, there’s no such thing as out of sight, out of mind. We see it, and we mind. The Nanaimo News Bulletin is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

“
The only new question asked if aboriginal self-government “should have the characteristics of local government, with powers delegated from Canada and British Columbia.” Arguably, that’s what has emerged from the Tsilhqot’in case, which upholds provincial jurisdiction over public forest policy on environmental and fire protection on aboriginal title lands. By 2009, frustrated with a lack of progress, due to Ottawa’s inaction as well as inconsistent leadership from aboriginal communities, the Campbell government tried to cut the knot. Its proposed Recognition Act would have accepted a form of aboriginal title across the province. That idea originated not with the province but with the First Nations Leadership Council. It was rejected by a broader group of aboriginal leaders later that year. The best way forward, also endorsed in the 2002 referendum, is sharing land-use planning. B.C. has also begun sharing resource revenues. The most likely path, however, is back to court for years to come. u Tom Fletcher is a columnist and legislative reporter for Black Press.

OPEN HOUSE
School board’s public process concerning Re: Judge dismisses case against Nanaimo school district over south-end facilities plan, July 1. The judge ruled on the legality of the process used to prepare the school district’s 10-year plan, not the wisdom of the plan itself. I’m sure that we can all think of something that may be legal to do, but ill-advised. Converting Cedar Community Secondary School at 107 per cent capacity into a so-called 21st-century mega-elementary at 50 per cent capacity is one such example – now ruled legal, but still ill-advised by any reasonable standard.
So, having battle-tested its public consultation process, the board is now engaging the public in a planning exercise for their proposed new Nanaimo District Secondary School. Here are a few red flags to look out for: the plan is prepared by an off-Island consultant without public involvement, the board adopts the plan in principle, the board switches to listening mode, the board gives the public an opportunity to voice concerns or share ideas, the board does not give any feedback on what it thinks of the public’s concerns or ideas, the board announces its decisions. That was our experience with

the process used by the board south of Nanaimo. I have to give the trustees credit for one thing – they did exactly what they said they were going to do on Day 1. So, having made sacrifices and tough decisions, the board will now do what it can to make the next few months appear like a season of renewal, just in time for this fall’s election. I’m sure the trustees will be doing a lot more talking this time around as they go about trying to fill us up with hope and win our hearts, minds and votes.

really think past that. It is shocking that almost all are caged and movement-restricted which means they are ‘headlocked’ for their entire ‘useful’ life. One company is offering free run. The chickens are free to roam indoors and express natural behaviours. Yes, the eggs are more expensive, but to save a miserable life of any animal or bird is worth it.

Parking has been expanded at Nanaimo Airport to meet demand, according to the Nanaimo Airport Commission president and CEO Mike Hooper. Hooper said the parking footprint has been increased at the airport with a gravel parking area, the latest of which was installed two months ago. “We’ve added additional parking this year for 50 cars and as we go forward, we’re going to rotate through and add gravel parking areas and as our customer base increases, we’ll pave them and add more and we’ll sort of rotate through that way,” Hooper said. While there are no current plans, the airport could add multi-level parking eventually, he said. “What we have is a long-term parking plan and we’re working

According to a press release, the conference begins Saturday (July 12), with delegates from across Canada arriving via 100 private aircraft, and runs until July 17.

Finding her way
American fiddler discovers her calling after a chance encounter.
Lisa Ornstein performs with La Bruit court dans la Ville tonight (July 10) at 7 p.m. at St. Paul’s Anglican Church.
BY NICHOLAS PESCOD THE NEWS BULLETIN
When American Lisa Ornstein picked up the fiddle for the very first time she unwittingly embarked on a musical adventure that would take her to the most unlikely places. “The fiddle will lead you places you never thought you would go and you will end meeting amazing and wonderful people in places that you didn’t ever dream of visiting,” Ornstein told the News Bulletin. “There is something really magical about the fiddle. It’s no wonder there are all these stories
and legends about it.” Ornstein’s love for the fiddle took her to Quebec, where she originally intended to stay for six months. “I actually had this grandiose plan where I was going to go to Quebec for a few months and then to Louisiana,” she said. Instead she remained in Quebec for 12 years, became proficient in the French language and wound up as a regular member of the renowned folk group La Bottine Souriante. On Thursday (July 10) Ornstein will be performing with her newest

group, Le Bruit court dans la Ville, which includes bandmates, André Marchand, and Normand Miron at St. Paul’s Anglican Church. “It will be music from Quebec,” Ornstein said about the upcoming performance. “Which has got a great reputation and deservedly so for some of the most exhilarating traditional dance music. It’s very lively, joyful and energetic sound.” Ornstein was born in Connecticut but raised in Ohio and Illinois. She took an interest to the fiddle after meeting fiddle legend Tommy Jarrell.

There is something really magical about the fiddle.
Although it was Jarrell, a winner of the United States’ National Endowment for the Arts’ National Heritage Fellowship, who introduced Ornstein to the fiddle it was Franco-American fid-
dler Louis Beaudoin who introduced her to the French-Canadian playing style. “He [Beaudoin] and I met at a festival and I was just smitten with his music. It just had this great energy and it had the energy of old time music, but had this sound that absolutely took me away,” Ornstein said. “It was it one of these instant music clicks.” Following her time in Quebec, Ornstein returned to the U.S., where she continued on with her music career and also began teaching music.

In 2010 she released her album The Magic Paintbrush, which is a compilation with Dan Compton. When Ornstein looks back, she said that as a teenage fiddler in Ohio she would have never imagined living in Quebec. “I would have just told you that you got to sit down and have something cool to drink and I’ll call the doctor,” Ornstein recalled.

TEENAGER performing regularly.
By Nicholas Pescod The News BulleTiN
For most 13-yearolds going to a bar or pub is almost unthinkable, but for singer/ songwriter Ian Perry it is a common occurrence. “In Vancouver it is more strict,” Perry said. “You’re not allowed to be in bars but in Nanaimo it’s pretty good.” At the age of 13, Perry has already managed to perform to crowds at the Shark Club and the Roxy in Vancouver as well as a number of other venues on Vancouver Island, including the Queen’s and the Port Theatre. On Saturday (July 12) Perry will be performing with Heather McLeod at the Silva Bay Pub on Gabriola Island. Perr y began his musical career three years ago after his father and brother inspired him to get involved with music. “My dad and my brother both played music,” Perry explained. “So then I
started taking drum lessons and then after about four months I switched to guitar.” In 2012 Perry received the Royal Conservatory of Music provincial gold medal. “It was my first year of doing classical guitar,” Perry said. “What you do is you go into a church and you’re one-on-one with an examiner and then you play your songs and they take notes.” The award is given to those who score the highest provincial mark in a classical guitar level exam. “I wasn’t expecting to get that high of a mark, but I got 95 per cent,” Perry said. While the music scenes in Nanaimo and on Gabriola Island have been incredibly supportive to the youngster, Perry has experienced some moments where fellow musicians didn’t take him seriously at first because of his age. He recalled a time when he needed to

Beefs & bouquets BOUQUET To the Olympics for their outstanding music at the dance at Bowen Park. Those who were unable to attend missed a great party. BEEF Now you’re beefing because some people act like it’s lazy summer days all year round. Maybe some people just know how to live the good life. BOUQUET To ReMax for the fun barbecue. We had a great time and the cooks were outstanding and the band was excellent. BEEF To the builder, project manager and whatever government body that’s supposed to be keeping an eye on the old five-acre farm at Third Street and Howard Avenue. This is a creek that salmon lay eggs in. BOUQUET To my hard-working neighbour. Your diligence in paying your taxes and EI premiums means I don’t need to get off the couch and waste my precious time working for a living. If the price I pay for this is your snide comments in the Beefs and Bouquets, then it’s OK with me – you work so I don’t have to. Thanks for being there, buddy. BEEF To the neighbour who has carelessly left a sprinkler on for two months non-stop. Note the city has been contacted and there may be huge bill coming your way. BOUQUET To the very helpful bus driver who phoned another driver to help me make the connection on Townsite Road and Vancouver Avenue. Saved me from walking Townsite hill. BEEF To the Uplands Drive resident who beefed about the city trimming shrubbery. If you had done it yourself you wouldn’t have had a problem. BOUQUET To Tracy Berg and her Relay for Life team of amazing volunteers who did an excellent job at the event. Their passion, dedication and belief for the event made it a tremendous success in Nanaimo.
BEEF To all the smokers who sit under all the “no smoking” signs at the hospital. Please just gather together in one spot. You are invading my clean air space having to dodge you all. BOUQUET To the kind and patient lady who guarded my electric chair while I went to get help. BEEF To the person who thinks he or she has the right to paint crosswalk road markings on Cedar Road. It has not only made a huge mess of the road but is also called vandalism. Can you not walk 20 feet to the actual crosswalk? BOUQUET To Auto Check on Bowen Road for the friendly and professional service at more than competitive prices. I’ve been taking my car and motorhome to them for the past three years and always left feeling the service was always required. BOUQUET To native healing walk at Maffeo Sutton Park. The food that was served was a banquet fit for a king. The stories shared by these brave, courageous survivors has given back to me my own self. BOUQUET To Lorne for caring and giving your time and hard work to make the patios and gardens at Dufferin Place look so beautiful. BOUQUET To Maureen in Sears ladies’ wear who is always so friendly and pleasant. Why don’t you do the training in your store? BOUQUET To the people who made possible the trip to the west coast with our fellow club members. The bus ride to Ucluelet was enjoyable and the return trip on the Frances Barkley showed us wonderful scenery. BOUQUET There are some very wonderful people who paid for a bag that I was purchasing but left my wallet at home. Thank you to the lady who said, “Put it on my bill,” and the gentleman who wanted to also do a good deed and handed her money to help pay.
JULY 11 to JULY 17 www.sears.ca

e s u o h e r wa
BOUQUET To the ferry crew member who made sure my case went into the right place to arrive in Nanaimo. BOUQUET To the manager of Rona for his prompt and friendly response to our problem with a fountain. BOUQUET To Cora and repair crew at Nanaimo public works. Quick and excellent work done to repair uneven sidewalks near ferry. I had a nasty fall while rushing to catch the ferry. BOUQUET To Steve at Bosley’s on Bowen Road for his fantastic unmatched customer service. BOUQUET To the Great Canadian Superstore for its kindness in treating kids to a cookie. BOUQUET To the young male barista on the order counter at University Village Starbucks. You were very sweet to give two thirsty schoolboys grande ice waters without them purchasing anything.
BOUQUET To the many wonderful people who save cancelled stamps for the Order of the Eastern Star. This year we were able to give $9,018 to our cancer fund. BOUQUET On behalf of the African grandmothers and orphaned children of sub-Saharan Africa who will be directly benefiting from your support of the African Marketplace, the NanGo Grannies wish to say a warm and sincere thank you. The monies have all been sent to the Stephen Lewis Foundation. BOUQUET To Elaine Peligren at Dominion Lending for her dedication and enthusiasm in assisting South Island Imports with all its financial needs in making something big even better. BOUQUET To everyone who supported me with such generous donations and encouragement at Nanaimo’s Relay for Life. I walked more than 24 kilometres during the event, in the process raising more than $2,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society. BOUQUET To the ‘rigger’ behind me at the Monkido course at Wildplay in June – thank you for your help, from the guy in orange. It was much appreciated. BOUQUET To Relay for Life Nanaimo chairwoman Becky Knight and all the amazing volunteers and participants who put in a heroic amount of effort and raised almost $70,000 for cancer research. BOUQUET To the recent retired realtor who stayed and filled out a witness report about my slip and fall in the store in May. Very kind and considerate. BOUQUET To Saputo for making the decision not to do business anymore with the farm company in Chilliwack that was abusing its cows.

Union signs on as Games friend
Golfers raise money for ALS
The Pulp, Paper and Woodworkers of Canada Union Local 8 is one of the most recent organizations to step up as a sponsor for the B.C. Summer Games. The group’s $2,500 donation will be used specifically to sponsor a venue during the Games. “PPWC has been supporting minor sports in Nanaimo for well over 40 years. We felt that the B.C. Summer Games is a very worthwhile event to support, especially since it is being hosted here in Nanaimo. It is our pleasure to help out with such an exciting event for the community,” said Doug Narver,
On June 19, Winston Michell golfed for 15 hours and 180 holes at Cottonwood Golf Course to raise awareness and money for ALS, while a day earlier at Fairwinds Golf Course, Brett Standerwick did the same, completing 200 holes in total. So far, $3,000 has been raised for the PGA of B.C. Golfathon for ALS. The ALS Society of B.C. provides support services to patients and research to find a cure.

Question of the Week Driveway test driver Zack Spencer says today’s crossover vehicles have replaced the popular station wagon of yesteryear. Do you agree? Is there something about the station wagon that appeals more to you?
Lexus joins the compact crossover lineup with the all-new NX.

OF THE WEEK!
Drive The worldwide launch of the NX was held right here in B.C., driving between ultra modern Vancouver and the rustic resort of Whistler. International guests were exposed to the two sides of the NX, the polished city vehicle and the weekend getaway SUV. Powering around the mountain resort, I got my first shot at the all-new 2.0L direct inject turbocharged 4-cylinder that Lexus will use in a number of its vehicles. With 235hp and 258 lb.-ft. of torque this new power plant does a good job once the NX 200t is in motion; it is getting away from a stop that could use a bit more snap. AWD is standard across the lineup but the system is designed to run in front wheel drive as much as possible to help save fuel. Lexus has made no bones about its target; it sees the Audi Q5 as the benchmark in this class. Audi has been at the small turbocharged game a lot longer and it shows, plus the handling of the NX isn’t sharp at all. In fact, all the passengers inside the base model test vehicle noticed the top-heavy body roll. Verdict What Lexus (Toyota) has been up to over the past ten-plus years is
producing hybrid cars in numbers nobody else can touch. This new NX is also available as a hybrid, but don’t expect any kind of show-stopping performance. Rated at just 194hp, the heavier NX 300h hybrid might be outclassed by just-as-thrifty diesel options in the market. The price of the NX 200T has not been set but if you look at the Audi Q5 as a target, expect the price to start at roughly $41,000 when it goes on sale at the end of 2014. Fuel economy has also not been set but with a direct injection turbocharged 4-cylinder under the hood, this new Lexus should be better on fuel than the larger RX350 equipped with a V6 engine. As the small SUV market continues to grow, and this new NX certainly is one of the most eye-catching to come along in a while. The Lowdown Power: 235hp 2.0L turbo or 194hp hybrid Fill-up: N/A Sticker price: N/A
There are some quick safety checks you can make on your vehicle to protect yourself and your passengers. For starters, make sure the head restraints are at least level with the top of the head and as close as possible to the back of the head to help prevent injury.

Cruze is cruising up the bestseller charts ‘‘
I feared the Cruze would suffer from the apparent prejudice against domestically produced small cars but its sales prove me to be a pessimist. by Keith Morgan
’’
Our neighbours to the south may still be suspicious of smaller vehicles but they are more than welcome on driveways north of the border. In the top 20 best sellers, 15 are compact or sub-compacts and the remaining five are by no means gas-guzzlers. The Honda Civic is the perennial top seller, and according to the latest figures available, the Hyundai Elantra and the Toyota Corolla follow it. The Chevrolet Cruze, currently with a starting
sticker price of a few bucks more than $15,200, sits in a solid fourth place and it’s a ray of light for General Motors. It recorded a five per cent yearover-year sales increase in the first quarter reports. Its 2014 March sales were a fraction under 50 per cent better than last year. In fact, it’s the brand’s bestseller with worldwide sales in excess of two million since its launch. Much has been written about the Ford revival and its excellent world car products – most of which fall into the small car category. GM does have competing products in what’s become a crowded market. The subcompact Sonic is in the top 20 but nothing has caught fire in the way the Cruze has. It first surfaced here in late 2010 as a globally developed and designed compact four-door sedan and five-door hatchback, replacing the outgoing Cobalt. When I drove one of the early editions, I was impressed with its design and performance, which matched any rival. It’s a car for a small family starting out or singles with a daily commute on their hands.
The Chevrolet Cruze, with steady sales increases, has been a ray of light for General Motors. However, I feared the Cruze would suffer from the apparent prejudice against domestically produced small cars but its sales prove me to be a pessimist. It may be a young’un but it’s already undergone some significant changes and engine improvements. Perhaps most significant among them was the introduction of a clean diesel version. It’s not inexpensive but Canadians like the 4.2 L/100 km highway
fuel consumption offered by the two-litre, turbocharged diesel powerplant. The base Cruze LS is also easy on your gas budget. Its standard six-speed manual transmission, coupled with a 1.4-litre powerplant, promises a highway fuel consumption rating of 5.4 L/100 km – the auto tranny makes that 5.6 L/100 km. The Cruze Eco’s 1.4L turbocharged ECOTEC engine, generates 138 horses
PHOTO crediT
and sips 4.6 L/100 km on the highway. It looks good today but in 2015, the Cruze gets a significant visual refresh with an updated grille and body shape that will give it more than a passing resemblance to its larger sibling Malibu. We’re told it will get significant tech changes, including an infotainment system with a driver alert text system that can be read through smart phones and over
Bluetooth, plus additional USB ports, and a 4G LTE connection enabling it to function as a WiFi hot spot. The Chevrolet AppShop will allow owners to download all available apps directly to the vehicle, offering access to vehicle data, music, news, weather and travel information. No prices yet. Worth a serious look by import car fans. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Big new bike weighs in light by Alexandra Straub
Nanaimo student wins thanks to welding skill by Bob McHugh
A hands-on ability, whatever the skill, is a talent that tends to go unrecognized and too often, it is under-appreciated, even by those who possess the talent. That’s why I was delighted to be asked again to participate as a judge in the annual Show Us Your Skills competition organized by Discover Skills B.C. for high school students. Students create a short video about a trade or skill that they are interested in pursuing. Prizes for the top three videos are presented to both the student and the high school that they attend. The high level of expertise that some of these kids already possess was remarkable and the video entries this year were outstanding. First prize this year went to Connor Shaw, a student from Nanaimo who studies through the Traditional Learning Academy. He was taught to weld by his uncle and at age 12 he fabricated a flat deck for a truck he was given. More recently he added a hydraulic lift system that gives the flat deck a dump feature. Connor loves welding and plans to pursue a career in a related trade. Connor will get an Apple MacBook and his school will receive $2,000. Trades can offer a rewarding and fulfilling career path with a higher than average wage level and a solid future. The trades sector in B.C. is expected to face an overall labour shortage by 2016, according to WorkB.C.
Drives-U-Crazy. . .
Non- signallers: I want to scream when I am stuck behind a car that fails to signal an intent to turn left until the traffic light turns green. It has to be one of the most inconsiderate acts, especially in congested areas. It’s also an offence, which carries a $121 fine and two-point penalty. Considerate drivers would realize their error and drive on. Ha! They don’t exist.

Columnist Alexandra Straub test drives a brand-new Harley.
I can’t think of a better time to learn how to ride or a harder time to ride. These juxtaposing thoughts can be explained thusly. There are so many great choices for new riders when it comes to machinery it’s hard to make a decision on what to add to your garage. But the variety also means there are bikes to suit all. Those wanting to get on sportbikes don’t need to start on a 250 or 300 cc, let alone a 600 cc variant. You can get a 125 cc. Or when it comes to cruisers, you don’t have to start on a machine that might be a little on the heavy side. You can get a competent road partner, which looks cool and doesn’t weigh south of 250 kilos. Enter the 2015 Harley-Davidson Street 750. 222 kilos, soaking wet. Hitting streets later this year, it’s the first new bike the American motorcycle
maker has concocted from scratch in the last 11 years. The last all-new bike was the V-Rod. And with a blank canvas, Harley could start from the ground up, listen to the voices of the customer and translate that into a cruiser that is tailored to urban riding. On the streets of Austin, Texas, a group of international media had the opportunity to take the new machinery for a test drive. While the majority of the route takes us on long, sweeping stretches of country roads, the Street 750 really shines in slow speed environments. Why does it thrive in an urban setting? For many reasons, the first being that Harley wanted to create a bike for the city rider. A bike that has a low-revving yet silky smooth engine and transmission, a low seat height, a favourable suspension – for all the potholes and road imperfections one might encoun-

Non- signallers: I want to scream when I am stuck behind a car that fails to signal an intent to turn left until the traffic light turns green. It has to be one of the most inconsiderate acts, especially in congested areas. It’s also an offence, which carries a $121 fine and
ter – and is a bike on which variety of riders can feel comfortable. Let’s start with its all-new engine. The Street 750 is matched with a liquidcooled 749 cc, 60-degree, which gives ample acceleration when you need it, particularly when you’re accelerating from a standstill. Not only that, it doesn’t spew unwanted heat towards the rider when they’re idling. And if you’re like me, and wear full gear even on hot, summer days, you’re incredibly grateful for that. Furthermore, it’s paired to a six-speed transmission. Normally, stop-go traffic on a Harley would be a pain. However, it wasn’t with the 750. It’s the easiest and lightest clutch I’ve worked with on any of the American motorcycle manufacturer’s bikes. The 2015 Street 750 from Harley-Davidson has many good things going for it.

MARVIN (SONNY) MCQUARY It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our loving husband, father, grandfather and brother Marvin (Sonny) McQuary at age 72. Born in Saskatchewan, he came to BC with his parents as an infant. Marvin worked for BC Ferries Catering department for 35 years mostly out of Horseshoe Bay and Langdale, and this is where he met Bev. After retiring in 1995, he felt the need for a new challenge and so Marv & Bev moved to Nanaimo. They opened Esquires Coffee House at Longwood Station where many wonderful relationships and friendships were formed with their customers. By 2007 it became clear that it was time to retire for good, and do some travelling. He leaves his wife Bev of 44 years and their five children and seven grandchildren, a large extended family and friends. On July 18 at 1pm a graveside service will be held at the Chinese Cemetery on Townsite Road in Nanaimo to be followed by a Celebration of Life for family and friends at Deer Wood Park Estates on Biggs Road, Nanaimo. In lieu of flowers, a donation to BC Children’s Hospital would be greatly appreciated. First Memorial Funeral Services 250-754-8333
For those who love, time is not. Missing you today and always.
Van Der Meer, Johannes (John) Hendricus On June 29th, 2014 Johannes (John) Hendricus Van Der Meer passed away surrounded by loving family at Wexford Creek. Born July 16th, 1930 in Wilnis, the Netherlands. He immigrated to Canada as a young man and has made the Yellowpoint area his home for the last 35 years. John leaves behind his loving and devoted wife Elsie Vandermeer and daughters Yolanda Vandermeer (Ken Ball), Yvonne Dervalics (Ernie), Yvonne Porter (Van) and Annette Koch. John had a great appreciation of nature in all her glory that reected throughout his life and in his home. He will be greatly missed by all of his family and all the people he touched. His was a spirit that brought a smile and happiness to all, with his thoughtful kindness and his antics and jokes. A welder fabricator by trade, he was also a self taught man, capable of so much. It wasn’t unusual to hear someone say “Ask John, he can ďŹ x itâ€?. And so he would...just because. So let us raise a glass & come join us for John’s ‘Celebration of Life’, to be held at the ‘Crow & Gate Pub’, on his birthday~July 16, 2014, from 3~5 pm, in the tented Garden Court Yard area.
Darren Steven Trethewey (Ashley)
February 18th 1971 – June 21st 2014 Our beloved Darren passed away on June 21st 2014 in Nanaimo, BC. His sudden passing is a terrible shock to his family and friends. Darren is predeceased by his sister Kym Trethewey (Kymmy) and recently, his step-dad Gordie Allan. His dad, Ralph Trethewey passed away in South Africa on July 3rd 2014. Darren was born in Kitwe, Zambia and the family moved to Canada when he was two years old. He grew up in Nanoose and Parksville where he attended school and graduated from Ballenas Secondary. He lived in Nanaimo for the last eleven years. Darren loved walking and taking photos of light as it filtered through trees and leaves. He enjoyed writing and was an avid reader who loved to learn. He sought personal growth even through difficult times and challenging circumstances. He found rest and happiness in his relationship with his Heavenly Father. Darren was a caring and gentle person and will be terribly missed by his mother (Jean Allan), his brother Dean (Simone), niece Sabrina, nephew Hayden and is much loved by family in Canada, England, Scotland, South Africa and Australia. In the presence of God. In Glory ‌ There will be a private family memorial.

BOXING CARD to be held in city next week. BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
The Port Theatre will raise the curtain for some good, old-fashioned fisticuffs. A six-bout professional boxing card will be held at the downtown venue July 18 and promoter Terry Strawson is billing it as the biggest boxing card in Nanaimo in two decades. The main event is a light heavyweight bout pitting Mark (Machine Gun) Woolnough, a former Canadian champion from Qualicum Beach, against Billy Bailey of Bakersfield, Calif. Two of Woolnough’s training partners from Parksville, heavyweight (Shotgun) Shane Andreesen and super middleweight Aubrey (Bam Bam) Morrow, are also on the card. “We’re like a family, it’s great,” said Andreesen. “Something I’ve always wanted to do was fight on the undercard with Mark on it.” Morrow said the friends are looking forward to fighting at the same event. “Being on the same card with them is pretty cool and the training has

been great with all of us…” he said. “We feed off one another so we push each other through the tough times.” Strawson said Rich LeStage, who trains the three Parksville fighters, asked for tough bouts for all his guys. “As a promoter that makes it better for me
and makes it better for the viewer,” said Strawson. “You don’t have to have, necessarily, a guy 10-0 or 15-0. We’ve got some guys who are evenly matched and they’re going to come lay it all on the line.” Woolnough (19-6-1) has had a bit of a layoff since a controversial

split-decision loss in a junior U.S. title bout “broke his heart,” said Strawson. “With this opportunity, being basically in our hometown, it’s too hard to pass up for him,” the promoter said. Bailey (12-18) is expected to pose a challenge.
TICKETS COST $46 to $111 and are available at www.porttheatre.com or by calling the box office at 250-754-8550.
“He’s what we call a journeyman, but he’s extremely tough and he’s never really in a bad fight,” Strawson said. Morrow (5-1-2) will face the more experienced Johah Arbuckle (9-3), Canada’s ninthranked middleweight, in a catchweight bout.

T-men try to build a win streak The Nanaimo Timbermen seized momentum and won their last game, and they’ll try to keep rolling. The senior A Western Lacrosse Association team visits the New Westminster Salmonbellies today (July 8) and then the Coquitlam Adanacs on Saturday. Timbermen coach Kaleb Toth said his team’s comeback win last week was a big step. “I think they’re going to be motivated now,” he said. The key will be a consistent work ethic. “Every game that we’ve won, we’ve outworked our opponent and we have to continue to do that in order to be successful,” the coach said. The T-men have defeated both the ’Bellies and Adanacs this season. “I think we have a chance to go on our first win streak this year, so I think the boys will be pretty fired up,” said Cayle Ratcliff, alternate captain. N a n a i m o ’s n e x t home game is against New West on July 19 in Duncan.

Juniors wrap up season The junior Timbermen fell short of the playoffs, but were competitive most of the way through the season. N a n a i m o ’s B . C . Junior A Lacrosse League club concluded its regular season this past weekend with a 14-9 win over the Port Coquitlam Saints at Frank Crane Arena on Saturday followed by a 17-12 road loss to the Burnaby Lakers. The visitors wanted to go to run time in the third period Saturday, but T-men coaches ensured that their graduating guys got full value in their last-ever junior game in Nanaimo. Corey Shires scored six goals and added three assists, Mitch Parker had a hat trick and two helpers and Darrin Wilson added two and two. Jeremy Roe, Alex McDougall and Dane Sorensen also scored and Matt Zeller earned the win. In the next day’s loss, Cody Short had a hat trick and two assists, Shires and Parker each had two and two and Cole Kryworuchka, Travis Mickelson, Dane Sorensen, Owen Barker and Del Donnelly were the other scorers. The team’s graduating players are Shires, Parker, Mickelson McDougall, Donnelly, Nick Sanderson, Andrew Miller, Taylor Raiche, James Smith and team captain Brett Fleming. Nanaimo’s 8-12-1 record was its second best in franchise history, just one win shy of its 9-12 mark from 2010.

Theatre provides a stage for sport’s sights and sounds From /30
“[Aubrey’s] one of those live-wire type of guys, he’s just exciting to watch,” said Terry Strawson. The Nanaimo promoter is excited to bring boxing to the city, as he’s a long-
time fan and supporter of the Parksville pugilists. “Anytime someone from the Island wants to do something that’s remotely cool, generally you have to go to Vancouver,” Strawson said. “We travel an awful lot to
go watch fights and go to support these guys. It will be nice to bring it here.” The Port Theatre is a perfect place to watch fights, he said. “That builds a little intrigue straight off the T:8.8125” bat because it’s such a
quality venue and people aren’t used to it in relation to boxing,” Strawson said. “If you pay more, you get more involved and you hear more sound, you may see a bit of sweat and blood flying and stuff, but even when
you’re in the balcony at the very back you can see everything perfectly and appreciate everything just as well.” For more boxing coverage, please visit www. pqbnews.com. -with files from Tyson Taylor

Track athletes in fine form Some Nanaimo Track and Field Club athletes competing in the B.C. Summer Games are on track to be podium threats. The club has posted strong results in recent meets. Madison Heisterman set a new provincial record for her division in the 1,500-metre race at the Jack Brow meet in Kelowna at the end of last month, finishing the distance in three minutes, 39.01 seconds. Heisterman, a medal favourite at the Games, also placed first in the 800m in Kelowna. Hope Stewart, another Games athlete, tied for first in pole vault in the Okanagan. In other results from that meet, Marina Andersen won the 1,500m race walk and pole vault, Alyssa Mousseau won the 800m and Josh Bailey was second in the 1,500m. In the seniors’ divisions, Nola Hendrie won the 100m dash and the pole vault, Kim Meyer won the 100m dash, Tim Hendrie won the high jump and pole vault and Sven Donaldson won pole vault. The following weekend, the track and field club had a contingent at the Trevor Craven Memorial Meet in Burnaby. Rachel Jerome won the long jump, Kaitlyn Watson won pole vault, Cody Watson was first in the 800m race walk and Jayden Watson won the 100m dash, the 600m, the high jump and long jump. T:12”
