TEACHERS ON strike throughout province. BY KARL YU THE NEWS BULLETIN
While the teachers’ strike continues, an appeal of a B.C. Supreme Court ruling related to class size and composition is set to be heard next month. Class size and composi-
tion have been key issues in the long-standing labour dispute between B.C. teachers and the province. The issues have been broached during current negotiations, referred to as E80 contract language, which is the employer’s proposal for collective agreement language that deals with the two topics, according to Peter Cameron, chief negotiator for the province. When Christy Clark was education minister in 2002,

she introduced Bill 28, which took away the B.C. Teachers’ Federation’s right to negotiate on class
size and composition. The union has twice seen favourable rulings from the B.C. Supreme Court, once in 2011, which saw Judge Susan Griffin order a return to 2002 classroom rules and a one-year period to institute changes. Griffin again ruled in favour of teachers in late January, stating the government’s Bill 22, which was in response to the 2011 ruling, was essentially the same as Bill 28. See ‘TEACHERS’ /4

The man accused in April’s Western Forest Products mill shootings will see his next court date on Sept. 16 when dates will be confirmed for a preliminary hearing. Kevin Douglas Addison, 47 at the time of the incident, stands accused of two counts of firstdegree murder and two counts of attempted murder and appeared via video link in Nanaimo provincial court Tuesday. He has been ordered to appear in person at Nanaimo for the Sept. 16 date. “They sent us away to the judicial case manager to get (preliminary hearing) dates and then there’s an in-person appearance on Sept. 16 to confirm the dates,” said James Kulla, Crown counsel. “So basically come into court and say, ‘These are the dates we have.’” Fred McEachern and Michael Lunn were killed and Tony Sudar and Earl Kelly were wounded when Addison allegedly opened fire at Western Forest Products mill in Nanaimo on April 30. Marlene and Marcy Lunn, Michael’s wife and daughter respectively, were at court Tuesday and said they were doing as well as could be expected as the case works through the system. “It’s the justice system, it gives [Addison] more time to think about what he’s done and we’re hoping that he’ll make the right decision when it comes and Sept. 16, that’s a good sign,” Marlene said. “That means things are moving, the wheels are turning. The justice system isn’t exactly the fastest.” Marlene said she doesn’t feel anger toward Addison and is prepared for his in-court appearance as she has attended previous hearings. “I think he looks a lot more sane than he did [his first appearance] and he’s had lots of time to think and we’ll deal with it,” she said. The preliminary inquiry will take place over four days. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Inbrief Barron remembered as passionate park advocate city scene
Police seize stolen property A machine gun and sawed-off shotgun were among stolen property seized during police searches on the weekend that also resulted in three arrests. The arrests happened Friday after police stopped a van on the Nanaimo Parkway near Mostar Road. A search of the van uncovered four firearms and several hundred rounds of ammunition. Police arrested one male suspect, 37. Police then moved in on a house on York Crescent in central Nanaimo where they believed a large amount of stolen property was stashed. investigators recovered a stolen .45-calibre, semiautomatic machine gun, a loaded sawedoff shotgun, tools, stereo equipment, stolen identification and other items. They also arrested another 37-year-old man and a 27-year-old woman. All three suspects are Nanaimo residents. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman, said the suspects’ names have not been released as formal charges have yet to be sworn against them.

VEtEraN Who helped establish Maffeo sutton Park died sunday at Nanaimo care home. he was 97. By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN
F
lags flew at half-mast in Münneref, Luxembourg, Tuesday for a Nanaimo man who made his mark at home and abroad. Hubert James (Pat) Barron died Sunday at 97. Barron was well known for taking on contentious issues and not shying away from ruffling a few feathers to attain goals he believed would benefit his community. “He was a character extraordinaire and, God knows, you wanted him on your side in any fight,” said Leonard Krog, Nanaimo MLA and friend of Barron. Krog credits Barron as one of the main driving forces behind the Concerned Citizens Committee, a group that took up the fight to create Maffeo Sutton Park on Nanaimo’s waterfront. A plaque on a cairn near the park bears Barron’s name along with others who believed the land should be preserved as a park instead of a marina and boat repair facilities proposed for the
former industrial site. “Eventually, instead of seeing that turned into a fancy marina for rich folks, he saw it turned into one of the jewels of Nanaimo’s waterfront and Pat was a huge push behind that,” Krog said. “Pat was a good example of the dictum for any progressive person: To comfort the afflicted and to afflict the comfortable.” Barron also worked to establish Piper Lagoon Park. Barron was born in Swansea, U.K., on March 12, 1917, and joined the Royal Air Force in 1936. He was based in Reims, France, with RAF 226B Squadron and was shot down during a bombing mission against German forces over Luxembourg in May 1940. Barron was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and he and other RAF pilots are honoured to this day by the municipality of Münneref where flags are flown at half-mast upon their deaths. After recovering from his injuries suffered in the downing of his aircraft, Barron moved to

Canada with his first wife Rosemary and their three children, where he trained pilots until the end of the war. The family moved to San Diego in 1946, where he flew for a number of commercial airlines.
Barron remarried in 1950 to Barbara Lou Preston. The family moved to Europe in 1960 where he continued his career as a commercial pilot. The Barrons moved to Nanaimo in 1968. “That’s when he
became involved in community affairs,” said Patricia Barron, his daughter. Barron served on city council for two consecutive terms from 1987-90. Merv Unger, former journalist and city council member, had occasion to find himself on the opposite side of Barron’s positions on contentious local issues such as the routing of the Nanaimo Parkway and Linley Valley development. “We crossed paths many times,” Unger said. “He loved to debate, shall we say, in a forceful manner and he and I had many goes at it.” Barron and his wife Barbara moved to Dover House care facility in north Nanaimo in early 2014. Patricia said her father died peacefully in his sleep and was not suffering any illnesses prior to his death. “I have to say we’re very sad, but the fact is he went peacefully and at 97, he sure had a good run for his money,” Patricia Barron said. “He had a very active and full life.” Barron is survived by his wife, 10 children, 16 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

Griffin’s latest ruling awarded teachers $2 million in damages. She said the government bargained in bad faith and tried to provoke a strike. Education Minister Peter Fassbender announced in February that the province would appeal the decision. The B.C. Court of Appeal hearing is set for Oct. 14-16 in front of a five-judge panel. Mike Ball, president of Nanaimo and District Teachers’ Association, said the union won’t negotiate when it comes to the class size and composition ruling. “How can we give away the court case? The government stripped the language in 2002 and then they want us to say, ‘Well OK, even though you won in the courts, this will be three times, we want you to give that up.’ Teachers can’t do that,” he said, adding a decision in the case could come early next year. The Ministry of Education said it didn’t want to comment on the case as it was before the courts. Mediator Vince Ready has been in contact with both sides, according to Ball and Cameron, but there are no negotiations scheduled. Ball said teachers will continue picketing. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Inmate sues province over lack of protection A black inmate is suing the province, claiming he was targeted by the Ku Klux Klan behind bars and alleging prison officials didn’t do enough to protect him from violence and racism, including an alleged violent attack and “torture” at the hands of a sheriff and guard at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre.
removed” documents of his relating to a potential human-rights complaint stemming from the assault. In the court documents, Parchment also claims denial of access to health care while in the Kamloops jail, as well as “violent assault” and “torture” by corrections officers during a prisoner transport from the Lower Mainland to Prince George. No dollar amount is listed, but the documents state Parchment is seeking damages for assaults and denial of access to health care, as well as for mental anguish and stress caused by being
forced to stay in a cell covered in racist graffiti and to cover future care and therapy. The B.C. Ministry of Justice had not received the statement of claim. “Essentially, it’s a matter that will be before the courts, once we receive the statement, and we’ll be responding to it, so there’s really not more we can say at this point,” said spokeswoman Cindy Rose. “Once we’ve received Mr. Parchment’s claim, we’ll be reviewing it and filing a response.”
Gabriola ferry schedule adjusted Beginning Saturday (Sept. 6), B.C. Ferries will be instituting changes to the ferry run that services Nanaimo to Gabriola Island. In conjunction with the Gabriola Island Ferry Advisory Committee, the ferry service provider has made adjustments to the schedule to address sailing delays that users had been experiencing since the April 28 implementation of the current schedule. According to Darin Guenette, B.C. Ferries’ spokesman, there are a handful of relatively minor changes to the schedule that range from five, 10 and 15 min-
utes in length. As an example, Guenette said the 8:40 a.m. route leaving the island – from Monday to Friday – will be moved up to 8:55 a.m. The ferry will still depart at 8:40 a.m. on the weekend. B.C. Ferries and the Gabriola committee will continue examining opportunities to improve schedule efficiency and reduce sailing waits. The schedule from now until March 31 has been updated on B.C. Ferries’ website to account for the changes. For more information, please visit www.bcferries.com. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Nanaimo News Bulletin 7
Proposed pot facility opposed by residents BY John harding Black Press
River’s Edge residents reacted swiftly to news a medical marijuana production company wants to set up shop near their homes in Nanoose Bay. Amber Leppard lives on River’s Edge Drive about one kilometre from where she believes Wildflower Marijuana Inc. is proposing to build a 68,000-square foot production facility on ALR land that was formerly Paradise Acres Ranch. Leppard e-mailed a letter detailing her concerns to Health Canada last week. “It wouldn’t matter if they were growing tomatoes,” she said. “It’s going to be a large, commercial operation in a rural residential area.” Neither the Regional District of Nanaimo or Wildflower CEO William MacLean indicated a specific piece of land that would be the site of the operation, but Leppard said “it’s quite obvious” it’s the former Paradise Acres Ranch, a 50-hectare property with a three-bedroom, four-bathroom, 4,077-square foot home at the end of Paradise Place, which connects to Kaye Road, the major artery for most of the neighbourhood. The ranch lands are part of the ALR, were listed recently for $2.9 million and have been sold for an unknown price. Kaye Road runs roughly parallel to the Englishman River, behind the weigh scales on the Island Highway. “We moved out there because it’s quiet, peaceful and beautiful,” said resident Suzanne Lowe. One estimate suggested there are 120 homes in the area, many of them on one hectare, ranging in price from $700,000-$2 million. Leppard said her concerns about the production facility include water availability, increased traffic, noise and the possible effect on property values. Even if the new facility draws from its own well “it will affect our aquifer” in River’s Edge, said Leppard. “And if this heavy, industrial, commercial enterprise [is allowed to operate here], property values are going to decrease,” she said. “There are multimillion-dollar homes in this area.”

New residents, like Sydney Robertson, are contributing to the south end’s gentrification by moving to and investing in the neighbourhood. She and her husband moved and renovated a heritage home and have watched the the drug and sex trade disappear from south end streets in recent years.
South end’s renewal attracts attention
I
commuNity up for consideration in Great Places contest. BY Chris Bush The News BulleTiN
Nanaimo’s south end is an urban mixed bag of old and new, decline and renewal, deterioration and gentrification, cultural diversity and a vibrant community rich in personality that is getting notice in this year’s Great Places in Canada contest, hosted by the Canadian Institute of Planners. Nanaimo’s south end is among 32 Canadian locations in the running for the annual contest. The city’s Commercial Street won the contest’s Great Streets category in 2011. Chris Sholberg, city culture and heritage planner, was among staff at the city who recommended the South End Community Association submit a nomination. “It was kind of a redemption story, how they were able to turn the south end around a
few years ago from sort of a crisis situation with the openair drug market and issues going on all through the neighbourhood to actually reclaiming it as a neighbourhood,” Sholberg said. The south end is the cradle of Nanaimo’s industrial past where miners’ cabins dating from the mid-1800s still line Haliburton and Nicol streets. For residents, it’s a place with historic, cultural and emotional investment. Douglas Hardie, South End Community Assoiation chairman, credits the citizens and RCMP with cleaning up the drug and sex trade that overran the district during the lowest point of its decline several years ago. Hardie has lived on Gillespie Street since he came to Nanaimo in 1990. “I think we’ve got a pretty realistic appreciation for our strengths and what we’re up against,” Hardie said. The south end is undergoing a gentrification with investment from new residents and businesses. Sydney Robertson and her husband moved to Nanaimo

from Vancouver in 2007, bought a 125-year-old heritage home on the Esplanade and moved it to the corner of Irwin and Milton streets. She and her husband wanted a neighbourhood like the one they left in Vancouver. “This neighbourhood has real roots,” she said. “It’s not just about the heritage houses. It’s the miners’ cottages and the people who grew up here and never moved or moved and have come back. People have stories about growing up in the south end. It’s a real neighbourhood. People know each other.” Six nominations will take home the honours, either as people’s choice winners based on overall numbers of votes, or as the grand prize winners based on planning excellence and as determined by Canadian planners. Each grand prize-winning place will receive a steel plaque acknowledging the contest win. To help decide the winners, please visit www.greatplacesincanada.ca.

Other residents have similar concerns. “If it was tomatoes, I don’t think there would be a crime element,” said another River’s Edge Drive resident, Lois Moroz. She acknowledged medical marijuana production facilities are mandated to have security, but she said she believes people will try to break into the facility and steal marijuana, bringing a criminal element to their neighbourhood. The Regional District of Nanaimo issued a news release last week, directing people to send their comments and concerns to other agencies.
“
We moved out here because it’s quiet, peaceful and beautiful.
“Residents are extremely concerned about this licence application and as an elected official and a member of this community I sympathize and I understand those concerns,” said chairman Joe Stanhope. “I encourage anyone with questions or concerns about this licence application to contact Health Canada to let them know.” The RDN also said that since the facility is proposed to be located on ALR land, and the Ministry of Agriculture and the Agricultural Land Commission permit the production of medical marijuana as a farm use on ALR land, the RDN cannot prohibit the production of medical marijuana on ALR land. The RDN said it has not received any development applications related to the proposed facility and is unable to disclose location information. If a licence is granted by Health Canada for the production of medical marijuana, the issuance of RDN building permits will be required in relation to new structures or for the renovation of existing structures. editor@nanaimobulletin.com

EDITORIAL
Civic elections need diversity
Candidates are coming forward for our consideration. In some ways, the race is already on, leading up to the municipal election Nov. 15. On that date, Nanaimo residents will be entrusted to elect a mayor, city councillors and school trustees who will represent us for the next four years. Some people have indicated their intentions; many have yet to go public. Candidates can’t formally declare until the end of the month, and they have another 10 days after that before the deadline to hand in nomination packages. We hope, most of all, that there will be strong candidates, but we hope also that there will be a variety of candidates. The news last week that Joy Leach had died made us reflect on the importance of diversity in local politics. It’s interesting that Leach was the only female mayor in Nanaimo’s history, though we expect it will only be a matter of time before we elect a second. At the moment, two of Nanaimo’s nine city council members are women, two out of seven on Lantzville district council, three out of 17 on the Regional District of Nanaimo board and six out of nine on the Nanaimo school board. Beyond gender, there can be a place at the council table for candidates of any age, ethnic background, sexual orientation, social standing or political leaning. Rather than categorize and divide us, these diversities can create a broader perspective. Compromise and co-operation are a part of democracy. Of course we realize that counting councillors by gender – or any classification – is an oversimplification. Candidates will be judged on their merit, their character, their priorities and promises, their strength and smarts, their motivation, their intentions. We hope that this fall, voters will have the chance to elect just the sort of representatives we’re looking for, both men and women.

One tourism operator on Highway 20 is considering closing down. Stone and his family took the new route themselves in early August, with the minister offering sunny reports on his blog: “If correct expectations are set, I believe the Nimpkish can be marketed as a valuable tourism component of the Discovery Coast Circle Tour. “The decision to do this rests squarely on the shoulders of the tourism industry and tourism operators who need to decide whether or not they want this service to work, to grow and to be viable in order to capture a share of the thousands of international tourists looking for exactly the kind of adventure the Nimpkish provides.” Got that, Discovery Coast tourism folks?

Failure of mediation suggests union at fault To the Editor,
Re: Teachers’ federation, provincial government at odds, Sept. 2. Isn’t it interesting that the mediator that was so desired by the teachers’ union had to pull out of talks, citing wages, benefits and composition being too far apart to continue with any meaningful negotiations? It wasn’t too long before this that Jim Iker stated to the media
that they were very close in wages and benefits but that class composition was still the stumbling block. It seems that two out of three items point to the union members being the ones that really need to look at themselves in the mirror. Why is there still mention of a $5,000 signing bonus? Is it really about the children?
Garry Dietrich Nanaimo
To the Editor,
One big notation of the rhetoric of the union spokesman is the continual bleating about illegally removing control of class size and composition. This unbelievably stupid situation was established by another political entity – to win the votes of the teachers’ union – that gave control of the entire operation to the workers. Can one imagine a factory owner giving complete control
Female sports ignored To the Editor,
I assume you are men who write the sports section, as I would think and hope that female writers might make more of an effort to cover local female sporting events. I have been meaning to write to you about your sexual bias for some time, but last Thursday’s paper finally sparked me. The few sports articles that there were, were all about male sports, with the exception of a tiny mention of women’s rugby. The photos are also inevitably of males participating in sporting events.
I would like to request that you find a balance between male and female events and also diversify your coverage away from your typical male-dominated events, e.g. hockey, football and baseball. By the way, females play those sports too. Try covering other sports, such as running, synchronized swimming, lawn bowling, kayaking, sailing, snowboarding, rowing, skydiving, etc. I look forward to seeing a change in your coverage.

Grief common for caregivers
I
wOrkshOp Offers tools, strategies.
More than 15,000 individuals develop dementia in B.C. each year, and over the next 25 years that number could more than double, according to the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. Already an estimated one in 11 Canadians is living with dementia, and that means their family members “have to cope with loss and grief – the constant yet hidden companions of the disease,” said Jane Hope, the society’s support and education coordinator for north and central Vancouver Island. The changes occur throughout the early, middle and late stages of the disease, and result in feelings of loss. “Grief is a natural and unavoidable result of these feelings of loss,” Hope said. Caregivers in Nanaimo can learn tools and strate-
gies for weathering the losses in a free five-part education program offered by the society beginning next month. Coping with Transitions in Dementia Caregiving: Dimensions of Loss and Grief runs on five Mondays, 1:30-4 p.m., starting on Sept. 15. Topics covered include introduction to transitions; dimensions of grief; living with my grief; honouring my grief: the treasured moments; maintaining self: marshalling energy for the journey; enhancing my resilience for the caregiving marathon. The sessions take place at the Alzheimer Resource Centre, 200-1585 Bowen Rd. To register, please call Hope at 250-734-4170 or e-mail jhope@ alzheimerbc.org. To ensure everyone has the same basic understanding of dementia, participants are required to have attended the workshop Getting to Know Dementia, or the Family Caregiver Series.

Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra. Chapman is coming to NANAIMO ON TUES. SEPTEMBER 16TH to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly. “Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.”
✁
Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes. She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running? If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

Well-known Vancouver Island raconteur, historian, columnist and activist Tom Paterson guides tour participants back through time to the days when South Wellington was a major coal producer in the region during his Black Track Tours, which he’ll be leading on Sept. 14.
Participants meet at 10 a.m. at Morden Colliery Provincial Park in front of the head frame. During the tour, Paterson discusses the conditions, challenges and culture of the early coal mining days, including the unnecessary suffering and deaths caused by lack of
adequate safety standards, according to a press release from the Friends of Morden Mine. He also points out the long-lasting impact South Wellington area mines, as well as many others, had as economic catalysts for establishment of more permanent communities such as Nanaimo. The walk is low to moderate in difficulty and typically lasts up to four and
a half hours. Participants are urged to wear clothing suitable for forecast weather and bring a lunch, snacks, water or juice. Tickets are $30; $25/two or more. All ticket proceeds support Friends of Morden Mine to preserve the head frame and tipple at Morden Colliery Historic Provincial Park. Please e-mail cchristo@shaw.ca or phone 250-714-0377 to reserve your spot.

Rudy loved working for the BC government as a surveyor, being out in nature all summer was the best part for him. Road trips with him were history and geography lessons, he knew it all and enjoyed teaching his family. He was always there to help anyone in need, regularly donating blood until he was told he was too old, which disappointed him. He enjoyed sailing, canoeing and ¿shing, as well as hiking or walking every day. After retiring, Rudy and Alice moved from Victoria to Nanaimo where they kept busy, volunteering with the Nanaimo Senior’s Society, St. Philip’s, Cedar and within their townhouse complex. They also enjoyed travelling, wood working, doing tai chi and making stained glass art pieces and lamps. Most of all, they loved to spend time with their family and friends, especially the children. A celebration of life service will be held at St. Philip’s, 1797 Cedar Rd, Nanaimo on September 27, 2014 at 2 pm. As per his wishes, he has been cremated and his ashes will be spread by the family. $OWKRXJK ZH PLVV KLP KHUH ZH NQRZ LQ RXU KHDUWV WKDW KH LV MXVW ¿ QH QRZ

Nanaimo Clippers back on the ice I
JUNIOR A HOCKEY team opens training camp at Frank Crane.
The Nanaimo Clippers opened training camp this week, moving from the off-season to the pre-season. The Clippers were ready for hockey on Monday, but Frank Crane Arena’s ice surface wasn’t, so the team started skating at Cliff McNabb Arena. This week has been filled with two-a-day practices Tuesday, Wednesday and today (Sept. 4), with the annual Rhodesie Cup intrasquad game on Friday at 6 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena. The game, held in memory of sportswriter Michael Rhode, is a fundraiser for KidSport. “We’re very excited to continue holding that…” said Mike Vandekamp, Clippers coach. “It’s been a great event.” The team goes from scrimmaging right to real competition the next day, as the Victoria Grizzlies will visit Frank Crane on Saturday to begin B.C. Hockey League pre-season play. “We’ll have a five-game exhibition week, which will be very busy for us,” Vandekamp said. “And we’ll wrap up all of our decision-making and try to have our roster set after that.” GAME ON … The Clippers’ home pre-season games at Frank Crane Arena are Saturday at 7 p.m. against the Grizzlies, Wednesday (Sept. 10) at 7 p.m. against the Cowichan Valley Capitals and Sept. 12 at 7 p.m. versus the Alberni Valley Bulldogs.

Buccaneers skate toward first faceoff
After a big win, then a bye week, the Raiders are back. Nanaimo’s V.I. Raiders step back on the field this Saturday (Sept. 6) to take on the Valley Huskers at Caledonia Park. Raiders coach Brian Ridgeway said the bye came at a perfect time after a “gruelling” first half of the season that saw them play firstplace Okanagan twice and secondplace Langley twice and survive with a 2-3 record. And V.I. didn’t just survive – its last game was a 52-44 upset over Langley that has the team energized for the second half of the regular season. “It really strengthens the team,” said Josh Paisley, V.I. defensive
back. “You’re working so hard and it’s nice to see results.” Offensive lineman Ryan Dekker said the win “brought us closer together as a family, and there’s nothing better than that kind of feeling.” It makes the Raiders hungry to keep winning, and they will be favoured against the winless Huskers. “We are going to score early and score often and we’re going to get more excited on the sideline,” Dekker said. “We saw that in the Langley game, when everybody on the sideline was getting excited, it really fuelled the fire for the players on the field.” That energy helps with consis-
tency and focus, which Ridgeway said are two priorities of the coaching staff. “Regardless of what position we are in the game, what the score is, we have to focus on that play, do our jobs,” he said. The Raiders don’t expect they’ll need more than their “base stuff” to beat the Huskers. “It gives us a chance to rep it to perfection,” Ridgeway said. “Guys can really focus in on the details and make sure we’re assignmentsharp all the way through.” GAME ON … The Raiders and Huskers kick off at 3 p.m. Saturday at Caledonia Park. Tickets, $12 for adults and $10 for seniors and students, will be available at the gate.
The Nanaimo Buccaneers began to set a pace in the pre-season, and now they start skating for real. The city’s Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League team holds its season opener tonight (Sept. 4) at the Nanaimo Ice Centre against the Oceanside Generals. The Bucs are encouraged by their exhibition games, which saw them go 3-0, outscoring divisional foes 15-5. New Buccaneers coach Derek Bachynski said it’s tough to judge his team based on preseason results, but he said players seem to be buying in and paying attention to detail. “We had everyone going and working hard,” the coach said. “Overall, a good work ethic and we competed every game, so that’s why we had the results that we got.” The Bucs have shown themselves to be a strong skating team this fall. It should be an exciting style of play for fans, said Bachynski, and it also should lead to success. “We’re a fast team and we want to play fast,” he said. “If we’re not moving our feet, if we’re not playing fast then we’re not going to be effective.” Two of Nanaimo’s pre-season wins came against Parksville, but Bachynski said his guys have to be ready to play a Generals team that will have its full roster intact on Thursday. “It’s the start of the season, everyone’s going to want to start off strong,” Bachynski said. GAME ON … The Buccaneers and Generals face off Thursday at 7:15 p.m. at the NIC. Tickets are $9 for adults, $8 for seniors and students and $5 for children 6-12.

Cougar country Paula Wild’s latest book focuses on cougars and their existence on Vancouver Island.
Courtenay’s Paula Wild will be speaking at Nanoose library on Sept. 11 at 7 p.m. about cougars and how Vancouver Island residents can co-exist with Canada’s largest feline. The event is hosted by the Nanoose Naturalists and supported by the Canadian Council Public Readings Program. Photo Contributed

t was a loud scream that made author Paula Wild realize that a large feline was lurking nearby. “I heard a cougar scream in the middle of the night in the green space behind my home,” Wild recalled. “It made me realize that they really are out there and sometimes that they are really close.” It wasn’t long afterwards that the Courtenay resident’s curiosity got the better of her and she began looking up information on the animal. “I started doing research and I thought that it was so interesting, so I wanted to write a book about it,” she said. A few years later, Wild released The Cougar: Beautiful,
Wild and Dangerous, an awardwinning, in-depth book about Canada’s largest cat. “The book does talk about all different aspects of cougars ... and it does deal with cougars attacking humans. There is quite a lot of information,” Wild said about her book, which won gold for Nature Book of the Year at the Foreword Reviews’ IndieFab Awards. On Sept. 11, Wild, who has released a total of six books, will be at Nanoose library as part of a speaking engagement on cougars and humans titled Sharing the Landscape: Can Cougars and Humans Co-exist? “There are some fantastic images of cougars, lots of really interesting facts and a few thrilling stories,” Wild said about the upcoming engage-

ment, which will touch on a variety of topics about the cat. The Cougar: Beautiful, Wild and Dangerous took over three years to write and contains a wide range of modern information from experts and scientists about cougars. The book also provides first-hand stories from people who have encountered cougars and what people should do in the event that they encounter a cougar. “In the old days they used to say you should play dead and that is definitely not true,” Wild said. According to Wild, Vancouver Island has the highest density of cougars and the highest rate of attacks on humans in the world. When encountering a cougar it is important not to run away. “Do not turn your back on

a cougar because if you run that excites their chase and kill instinct,” Wild explained. “What you should do is ... make yourself as big and intimidating as possible.” Due to an increasing population in rural areas as well as shifts in logging and a changing habitat, cougars are being spotted in urban settings. “Deer are shifting their habitats and cougars are following,” Wild explained. “People don’t realize that if they’re feeding Bambi in the backyard they’re putting out a welcome mat for cougars.” Wild speaks at the library at 249 Nanoose Rd., on Sept. 11 at 7 p.m. Admission is by donation.

Workshop sees positives

WRITERS TO share work at Nanoose Bay.
By Nicholas Pescod The News BulleTiN
A small collective of writers will gather at Nanoose Bay to share their works and learn from each other next weekend. On Sept. 13, author, poet and English professor Derek Hanebury will be hosting a fiction workshop at Nanoose Place. “Basically it is a chance for people working on short stories to bring a story and get some feed back from not only their fellow writers in the group, but from me,” he said. The full-day workshop, which still has some spaces available, is open to writers of all levels and ages and is intended to inspire. “I am just looking forward to it,” he said. “It is going to be a lot of fun and at the
same time I am hoping that everybody gets a lot of encouragement and inspiration.” Hanebury is a professor at North Island College at Port Alberni and holds a master’s degree from the University of British Columbia. Over the years he has hosted plenty of writing workshops and stands behind the concept. “I am a huge believer in workshopping,” Hanebury said. “I went through six years of it in postsecondary education and I just find that people learn so much from looking at other people’s work.” While the workshop will point out a writer’s weaknesses, Hanebury said it is important to recognize a writer’s strengths. “I really do like to encourage people to focus on what is working in the stories and be positive about it,” he said. “The purpose of the
workshop is not to bring in a story and rip it to shreds.” Hanebury noted that it is often difficult for writers to notice their own mistakes, but easier for writers to notice other writers’ mistakes. “It’s hard to see it in your own work but it is easy to see in others,” Hanebury explained. “So you learn from others and you hopefully don’t repeat those problems in your own work.” Hanebury’s novel, Ginger Goodwin: Beyond the Forbidden Plateau, was published in 1986 and in 2005 his poetry book, Nocturnal Tonglen, was published by Ekstasis Editions. He said the biggest mistake that young fiction writers make is the inability to dramatize. “It really depends where they are at on their writing,” Hanebury explained. “Beginning writers, they tend to tell

A garden-themed art show that combines an ancient Oriental form of writing with Western-style paintings has taken over one art gallery in the city’s north end. Currently on display at the Art 10 gallery is Calligraphy Alive, a show designed by Nanaimo area artist Keiko Bottomley. “It’s more interesting than normal Japanese calligraphy,” said Bottomley, who was born in Japan. “The writings each have meaning.” The pieces displayed at the show were done in acrylic and were primarily

Belly dance event benefits Haven
I
MULTIPLE DANCE styles on display.
By Nicholas Pescod The News BulleTiN
Residents of the Harbour City will have an opportunity to learn some new dance moves and hear world music next weekend. On Sept. 13 the Haven Society will be hosting a showcase and bazaar at Wellington Community Hall. The event is a fundraiser for the Haven Society. Co-organizer Lynette Harper said there will be seven dance workshops run by a number of dance teachers and musicians, who all have a wealth of experience. “It is a great opportunity for people here in Nanaimo to see the breadth of possibilities for dance in our community,” Harper said. “Dancers here have studied so many different styles
of dance, from the Middle East to India to Turkey to Persia and they are sharing those ideas through short 20-minute workshops.” The event will feature family-oriented workshops run by Nanaimo performers Ramona and Genya and Vancouver Island dancers Cathy Stoyko and Elaine de Rooy and lead drummer, Burt Levy of the California ensemble, Eastwind Bellydance. “We’ve never done this before and we
may never do this again if it doesn’t go well… [We want] people of any age to try some of these dances,” Harper said. “We’re hoping that people will discover how simple the movements are and how inspiring the music is and open up their minds as to how much fun it is.” Harper explained that belly dancing is often falsely stigmatized as being a mainly sexualized dance form. “It’s been painted
with that brush for a great many years,” Harper explained. “What’s wonderful with bellydancing around the Island and around the world is it has much more to do with community and female strengths and relationships with people.” The event will take place from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. Admission is $5 by donation.

V8 can switch off half of the eight cylinders and lean off the fuel mixture to reduce fuel consumption. With more than 1,000 km driven at a range of speeds, the real world consumption was 12L/100 km, close to the 11.4L/100 km official highway rating with the 6.2L engine. All the current Yukon models are equipped with a 6-speed automatic but the 6.2L engines will get an 8-speed this fall, with the 5.3L following next year. AWD is standard on all but the base model and these trucks can tow up to 3856 kg. Verdict The Yukon is winner on all trim levels. I could find no fault but it is pricey. Starting at $51,800 for the SLE or $60,960 for the SLT and $75,540 for the Denali, this isn’t a cheap prospect. However, the Denali offers most of the same features as the more expensive Cadillac Escalade but is more use-friendly and less expensive. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca The Lowdown Power: 5.3L V8 with 355 hp or 6.2L V8 with 420 hp Fill-up: 16.2L/11.4L/100 km (city/highway) Sticker price: $51,800-$75,540

If you’re driving to Hell, what kind of car would you want to be in? An SUV? A sports car? One that if you never come back, at least your missing person’s report would list you last seen: “in something fast, flashy and awesome?” When my driving partner and I stumbled upon Hell, Michigan, or at least the sign that directed us that way, we were in the all-new, 2015 Hyundai Sonata; a sedan that is now seven generations strong. We had air conditioning in case it got really hot and directions via the navigation system in case we wanted to go to Hell and back and lost our way. And comfortable seats in case the crossing of the River Styx was long and arduous. Furthermore, we had the power to get us out of there if we needed to leave in a hurry. Okay, enough about Hell and back to the car. For 2015, the Sonata gives you two engine options; both of which have been

’’
revised for the seventh generation. The first is a peppy 2.4-litre four-cylinder with 185 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. Then there’s the spirited, optional, 2.0-litre twin-scroll turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 245 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Both engine variants are linked with a six-speed automatic transmission. There’s a lot going on with Hyundai’s mid-size sedan. It’s built with an all-new chassis, which equates to a more comfortable ride, better handling and an overall improvement in noise, vibrations and harshness. To test that out, we took it to the streets
of Ann Arbor in Michigan, as well as the backcountry roads that have sweeping corners and tight turns. The first thing I noticed was how much better the handling was, especially when you have it in Sport mode. In Sport, powertrain responsiveness and heavier steering weight are both increased. The steering weight definitely comes in handy on the twisty parts of the road. In Normal mode, steering isn’t as responsive but better suited for urban environments. And if you’re in a fuel saving mood, pop the car into Eco mode. This softens throttle response and recalibrates transmission response so you get the most out of your tank. Featuring even higher quality materials than before, the cabin is softer to the touch and the layout is optimized for the driver. It’s a tough segment to be in and it can get pretty heated. But the Sonata remains cool and collected and keeps up with the best of them. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Michael Sproul from Frankie’s Modern Diner in Nanaimo beat out the competition for the title of Island Chef, held as part of Vancouver Island Exhibition in August. Kristina Stauffer from Cassidy Country Kitchen came in second. Sproul, who attended Nanaimo District Secondary School before taking the culinary arts program at Vancouver Island University, was one of a number of chefs from across the Island who had to produce an appetizer, a main course incorporating three mystery ingredients from a Thrifty Foods bag, and a sweet dessert. All the dishes had to showcase a Southwestern theme. The judges included Ryan Reed, winner of Chopped Canada. All leftover food was donated to Loaves and Fishes community food bank.

FREE HEARING TEST Brenda Rositano, left, from Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation, and Joan Ryan, of Nanaimo Lifeline, accept donations of $3,000 and $1,000 respectively from Kenneth Young, incoming service officer for Royal Canadian Legion Branch 256. Photo contributed
Poppy donations go to community Wearing a red poppy each Remembrance Day has significance for Canadians – it inspires a deep sense of pride and gratitude for veterans and shows the appreciation of an entire country. Since 1990, Royal Canadian Legion Branch 256 has delivered almost $100,000 to the Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation for health-care equipment and programs that benefit veterans. Ken Young, incoming service officer, recently presented the foundation with two donations. A $1,000 gift was given to the Nanaimo Lifeline Silent Guardian Fund, a personal alarm service which the foundation operates. A $3,000 contribution was made for the purchase of cystoscopes for Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. Cystoscopes help urologists diagnose bladder cancer and prostate disease.
