Mayoral race draws veterans
Poverty flagged in new report Nanaimo’s first Vital Signs annual checkup was released Tuesday and according to the report, poverty is an issue that concerns residents. Compiled in partnership with the Nanaimo Foundation, United Way, City of Nanaimo and Island Savings, Vital Signs identifies trends and measures the health of Nanaimo. Between July and August, more than 900 respondents took part in a survey providing letter grades to a number of Nanaimo areas. The study also included the most current statistics from such organizations as Statistics Canada, the province, the city and Island Health. The study showed that 38.2 per cent of residents were not earning a living wage as of 2010, and 17.3 per cent of Nanaimoites had incomes below the after-tax poverty rate as of 2012. Additionally, the gap between rich and poor received one of the lowest grades with a C-.

Stair climbers
James Datoff, left, and Robyn Allen were some of the students and employees at Vancouver Island University who took part in the Storm the Stairs challenge on campus on Wednesday morning. Teams climbed the stairs beginning near the student union building all the way to the top of the campus in a relay-style race.
Former Nanaimo mayor Gary Korpan isn’t pulling punches in the fight for the mayor’s seat, calling council a fiasco of fighting, quasi-political parties, and its leadership and guidance “all over the map.” Korpan, one of the longest-serving municipal politicians in Nanaimo’s history, threw his hat into the mayoral race on Wednesday along with incumbent Mayor John Ruttan. According to Korpan, the city needs teamwork and an end to a “spending spree.” He is promising to launch a full audit of city operations and organizations that receive subsidies from local government, as well as look into a clawback for $4.6 million committed to the Port Theatre’s studio project. “People are sick and tired of wasteful spending and I am going to stop the spending spree that’s been going on with this council,” he said. Korpan served on city council for 24 years, including five terms as mayor before losing to Ruttan in 2008. He also had an unsuc-
cessful run for council in 2011, landing 15th in the vote count. This year Korpan is looking to return to the top job, pointing out he has a record of negotiating with senior levels of government and he’s not afraid to make decisions. He also vows to open up the issue of the departure of former city manager Jerry Berry and other senior staff and says if tax money was used to cover abusers he is going to “sue those bastards and we’re gonna get the money back to the taxpayers.” Ruttan announced he’s seeking a third term as mayor. In a statement to the media, he said the previous six years have him well positioned to continue the work of council and that this is an exciting time for Nanaimo with interest from foreign and local investors. “I am anxious to continue working with council and staff to ensure that our new growth is managed in a careful and prudent manner,” he said. “I am truly appreciative of all the support that I have received over the last six years and assure you of my sincere interest to provide the best municipal government to our Nanaimo taxpayers in the coming years.” For more mayoral candidates, please see page 3. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Nanaimo News Bulletin 3
List of Nanaimo mayoral candidates continues to expand
I
dEadliNE to submit nomination papers is Friday (Oct. 10). By Tamara Cunningham The News bulleTiN
Nanaimo city council veteran Bill Holdom is coming out of political retirement this year to enter the race for mayor. Holdom announced his bid for the mayoral position this week after a one-term hiatus from civic politics, growing the field of candidates to eight so far. Incumbent Nanaimo Mayor John Ruttan and former mayor Gary Korpan are the latest contenders for the seat, along with Nanaimo resident Mark Robinson.
Businessmen Roger McKinnon and Al Thompson, Coun. Bill McKay and Brunie Brunie are also running. Jim Routledge plans to make an official announcement by the end of this week. Holdom, who made an exit from politics in 2011, told the News Bulletin he missed it and would like to see the best work of the past and current councils continue. With eight terms on council under his belt, he believes he’s a candidate who can link the past, present and future. “I really like Nanaimo. I think it’s a great community,” he said. “I’m not here to try to tear it down or to remake it or change it in any drastic way. I’m here to continue to improve it, to continue Nanaimo on its
course ... and to try to smooth out the bumps along the way.” Reviewing increased downtown parking rates would be a top task for Holdom, if elected. He also supports balancing what the community wants with what it can afford and teamwork with council and residents. Robinson is no stranger to politics, having been involved in a recall campaign to remove an elected MLA from office and a run for council twice. A single father, Robinson says now is the time for him to run for the mayor’s seat. He’s interested in being at the council table during the potential development of two new hotels, including SSS Manhao, pointing out he believes there’s opportunity for the community

to reap benefits while the Chinese economy is doing well. Robinson is also a proponent of direct democracy and would like to see members of the public put forward motions at town hall meetings. Nominations for the civic election close Friday (Oct. 10). As of press time Wednesday four candidates were on the
roster for mayor and 23 for council. Incumbents city councillors Fred Pattje, Ted Greves, Diane Brennan and Bill Bestwick are seeking re-election. Among those new to the council race are Paul Gogo, keyboardist for the Canadian rock band Trooper; the Queen’s owner Jerry Hong; and Kevin Cantelon, a lawyer and eldest son of retired MLA Ron Cantelon. Other candidates include: Brian Anderson, Jack Arnold, Fred Brooks, Leon Cake, Stephen Cochrane, Gord Fuller, Jim Goldsack, Scott Henderson, Mike Horn, Karen Hovestad, Geraldine Manson, Wendy Pratt, Jim Taylor, Ian Thorpe, Ian Thompson and Bill Yoachim. news@nanaimobulletin.com
Programs designed to help most vulnerable people From /1
Tim Mawdsley, chairman of Nanaimo Vital Signs, said despite the low grade, the aim of the report is to raise awareness. “If that starts discussions around Nanaimo on what’s going on and how we can effect positive change, that’s exactly what Vital Signs is for from a foundation perspective and the foundation also uses
it to guide us on our giving in the community and where can we effect the greatest change with the limited number of dollars that we have,” Mawdsley said. Signy Madden, executive director of the Nanaimo-area United Way, said poverty problems can’t be addressed overnight. “From the United Way’s side, what we’ve got to look
at is the vulnerable kids, the [newborn] to five years old,” said Madden. “You can’t give people money and that’s not our job, but I think our job is we have to make sure we fund programs that are helping the kids who are the most vulnerable.” The full report can be viewed at www.nanaimo foundation.com/news.

Talking on your handheld phone or fiddling with a music player while driving will cost you three penalty points in addition to a $167 fine, effective Oct. 20. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton announced the additional penalty points Wednesday, making it the same as the penalty for texting and driving. Penalty points are also added for infractions such as watching a video or programming a phone’s GPS system. Penalty points remain on a driving record for five years, and result in a $175 increase in insurance as soon as they exceed three points. Fines and points for two distracted driving tickets in a year add up to at least $634. Licence suspension is considered with nine points. Distracted driving is the second biggest cause of fatal vehicle accidents, with an average 88 people killed per year from 2009-13.

The electoral riding boundaries were re-drawn, with the former Nanaimo-Alberni and Nanaimo-Cowichan ridings replaced by NanaimoLadysmith. The new riding stretches approximately from Lantzville to south of Ladysmith. Nanaimo-area members of Parliament James Lunney (Conser vative) and Jean Crowder (NDP) both announced within the last year they would not seek reelection. The 42nd Canadian federal election is expected to take place in 2015.

Port loses tenant with mill closure
Grant provides help for tuition for trades training at university By Karl yu the News bulletiN
People with disabilities will soon be able to enrol in entrylevel trades training at Vancouver Island University thanks to a $75,000 grant from the provincial government. According to the Ministry of Advanced Education, the money comes from the Skills Development Employment Benefit, which helps employment insuranceeligible people lacking labour skills. Glynis Steen, associate dean for the university’s trades and applied technology program, said it will aid in the development of the 12-week Supported Trades Entry Program. The pilot program will lead to employment in the construction industry. “[Participants] will start out with employability skills, life skills and will work towards a construction trades helper background,” said Steen. “The students will go out on a practicum placement and then they’ll come back for a week of employability skills at the end.” The students will write a resumé, learn some interview skills and apply what they’ve learned during in the program to look for employment, she said. The university is still in the development stages, Steen said, and it is hoped that the program will begin in March. “We’re working with our student services group on determining the eligibility requirements and where we could attract the people that would be appropriate for this program,” said Guy Ellis, dean of trades and applied technology. A total of $1.5 million in onetime funding was available and VIU was one of 20 public postsecondary institutions to receive the $75,000. “We’re using the grant to help support the program in terms of our students working in our construction area in our shops, working towards also math and literacy skills too as well, because we’re integrating that into the program as well and the practicum placements too, so that grant is used to support those pieces in the program,” said Steen. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

City calling on residents to cut down to zero waste The City of Nanaimo is encouraging residents to participate in a challenge to show that it’s possible to acheive a zero-waste future. The zero-waste challenge will take place over two weeks in October to coincide with the start of National Waste Reduction Week on Oct. 20. Residents will be asked to keep track of
their waste and find a place for it other than the garbage can. Zero waste means diverting all waste from landfill by reducing, reusing recycling and composting. The City will provide all materials and residents will be asked to keep a waste diary. There will be prizes for the ones who get clos-
est to zero. The challenge was launched at the Zero Waste Trash To Treasure day on Saturday following the International Zero Waste Conference that also took place in Nanaimo last week. For more information, please visit www. nanaimo.ca/goto/ zerowaste.

The closure of Western Forest Products’ waterfront Nanaimo mill will not only have an effect on workers, it will have an effect on the port as well. The mill is set to close at the end of the year and according to Bernie Dumas, Nanaimo Port Authority president and CEO, the port will lose a tenant in the process. “The port has been leasing the property since the late ’70s, so we have a very strong relationship with Western Forest Products and we’re a bit sad about them closing the operation, but we fully understand what they need to do, so it’s going to affect the port, as far as a revenue source,” Dumas said, adding that details of the arrangement could not be disclosed. Jeet Manhas, port authority board chairman, said it hasn’t yet been decided what will happen to the mill site once it is vacated. About 60 employees will be affected by Monday’s announcement and according to Sasha Angus, Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation CEO, the corporation is hopeful that job loss is minimal. The mill is investing approximately $10 million in the Duke Point sawmill operation, something Angus said has the potential to be a good thing. “On balance, it will probably be positive, just because the new capital investment signals their long-term interest in the community,” said Angus. “That their geography is moving from downtown to Duke Point, obviously people in the region as far as Ladysmith spend in our local stores here. Nanaimo’s a service hub that way.” He said that while the investment is not on the waterfront, it will benefit the region overall. The United Steelworkers Local 1-1937 and the company will be meeting next week to discuss transition and according to Western Forest Products, the mill is expected to close at the end of the year. “We’re working with the same information the rest of the community is around the transition that they’re working through with the union...” Angus said. “We’ve reached out to the company to talk about what that looks like. If there’s any role the NEDC can play in helping with the transition, and quite frankly, how we make sure that their investment in the community continues to foster potentially new jobs.”

Free passes not a problem
The City of Nanaimo’s parks and recreation department is again trying to save costs by playing card tricks with rec passes. The city recently adjusted its rules regarding its Leisure Economic Access Policy pass, taking away Leap cards from special-needs adults who live at home. It was exactly a year ago that the department’s Parks, Recreation and Culture Commission floated the idea of taking away free rec passes from seniors aged 80 and up. This year’s Leap card clawback is a little different. Special-needs adults who live in group homes can still qualify for financial assistance, so this is more an issue of fairness than anything. Rec pass rules should be fair, within reason. Of course we’re in favour of seniors’ discounts and children’s prices and student rates. We want our seniors to stay active, we want kids to get off the couch, and we could say the same thing for citizens of any age. This city has superior recreation facilities that should be accessible and affordable. The Leap program is part of that strategy. It should help the ones who need it most and in many cases, people with special needs fit the criteria exactly. For adults, special needs or not, living with mom and dad doesn’t always mean financial stability, and shouldn’t preclude them from a few free swims at the public pool. The Leap program as a whole offers $300,000 of annual assistance, but that’s an in-kind service being provided, not necessarily dollars out of city coffers. We do agree that parks and rec should crack down on abuses of financial assistance, if there are any, and we’re all for trying to get departmental budgets under control. These new rules, though, seem unfair, and all for a minimal impact – not so much a Leap forward as a step back.

The comedy of all this was illustrated by Coun. Robin Cherbo from Nelson, who assured delegates he uses synthetic oil in his vehicle. Is that derived from organic sunflowers? And what significance does that gesture have compared with the gasoline and jet fuel that carried 1,200 delegates to Whistler? This is why election-time posturing by local politicians is a slippery slope. Not only do they lack authority, they and their staff lack the required expertise and information. The Trans Mountain pipeline starts in Alberta and branches into the U.S. It is by definition federal jurisdiction. NEB hearings on its expansion continue, with expert input. Municipal politicians should pipe down and defend their own performance. u Tom Fletcher is a columnist and legislative reporter for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Conference centre costs out of control City taxpayers cannot go on forever dumping so much help into this bottomless pit, which cost us $72.5 million to build in the first place. There must be other uses found, and lickety-split, or God forbid the city will probably want to sell this sleepy hollow for a buck like they did with the
To the Editor,
Last week’s Nanaimo city council e-town hall meeting on the 2015 budget was very shocking. I learned that $3.5 million of our tax money, each and every year, is used to keep the Vancouver Island Conference Centre afloat. Ouch, did you hear that amount?
city hall annex. Ouch, and ouch again. Two per cent of the city’s $192.1 million budget this year went to coddle the almost cobwebbed home awaiting lots of conventioneers. With so much loot vanishing into thin air I would not hold our breath that a proposed new hotel,
if ever built, that is receiving a 10-year tax exemption, would pull us out of this huge and ongoing financial sinkhole. A new plan to get us out of the conference centre mess needs to be thought of and put into play – now.

B.C. Ferries will keep searching for best sailing solutions for Gabriola To the Editor,
File photo
B.C. Ferries is looking to refine its sailing schedule between Nanaimo and Gabriola Island, says letter writer.
After six weeks of community consultation by B.C. Ferries this past spring, the schedules originally proposed by the provincial government were refined on all of the affected routes to try to introduce the best timetables that still met the service reductions outlined by the province. Any change to ferry service takes some time to get used to, however on several routes, including the Gabriola Island-to-Nanaimo Harbour route, late-morning delays and congestion issues have arisen. Over the summer we’ve been working with the ferry advisory committee as well as hearing suggestions from other customers
about some refinements we could make to the schedules to mitigate these issues. We certainly understand the vital role we play in maintaining the quality of life for people who live, work and travel in and around coastal B.C. We will continue to work with the ferry advisory committee this fall to get a sense of community preference about possible schedule tweaks that can be made to meet the needs of the majority of ferry users while still achieving the net savings set out by the provincial government.
Taxpayers should be able to choose their entertainment hard work they do at the theatre. They are not the issue. What is: subsidies and proper management. And while it’s nice some residents do not have to travel to Vancouver to see a show, with all the tax contributions being placed here perhaps it would be cheaper to give residents a pass to the mainland on the city’s dime to see whatever event they choose, not just those the Port Theatre brings in and thinks we should be on the hook for.
To the Editor,
Re: Port Theatre expansion an asset, Letters, Oct. 2. When special-interest groups obtain free money from government they obviously get accustomed to it and squawk loudly when taxpayers question the generous help. A large amount of tax money went to build the $13.1-million theatre in 1998 and soon more is going to build the $12.6-million expansion. Each year Nanaimo taxpayers subsidize the facility. Volunteers are to be thanked for all the

City council’s gender balance will play itself out force and the lead role and the female is to play the role of the heart and nurturer which will lead both to naturally submit together in harmony.

To the Editor,
Re: Women must demonstrate leadership, Letters, Oct. 7. I think there is a natural role that men and women play together synergistically and to equate that to the gender balance occupying the city council seats is the wrong direction to go. I believe the man is to play more of the driving
means that some believe that women are more easily controlled through the group think process. I think women can do better than that. We should stop this constant comparison of male and female statistics because it is threatening to divide us.

Council keeps pursuing most expensive options To the Editor,
Re: Council considers another study on Colliery dams, Sept. 18. I am reminded every day about this council’s backward thinking process, like with the Colliery dams deception. Yet again it will continue to cost the nowoverburdened taxpayers of Nanaimo a lot more money in this very hard-hitting economic recession. Enough is enough, because the Colliery dams are obviously not broken and are in great shape. This is just another fine example of the city operating with the policy of, if it’s broken, we will not fix it, but we will have it torn down, no matter what the cost. No wonder that Nanaimo is in such a mess.

Anderson won’t seek re-election
I
CouNCillor SayS he’s considering other opportunities.
By Tamara Cunningham The News bulleTiN
George Anderson, one of the youngest politicians ever elected to Nanaimo city council, has announced he won’t seek re-election this year. Anderson, 23, told the News Bulletin he’s stepping away from municipal politics to consider other opportunities, including law school. He is the first city councillor to officially announce he’s stepping away
from this year’s election race. “There is a variety of options in front of me, they are political and they also are in regards to my education,” he said. “The main goal is to go back into private life and continue to volunteer in the community and help in the ways I can without being in political office.” Since his election in 2011, Anderson introduced the idea of e-town hall meetings and a youth advisory council, as well as headed the transportation committee behind the city’s first transportation master plan. He’s also been involved in controversial motions, including opposition
of the waste-to-energy incinerator and spoke out about age discrimination in politics last year. Anderson said he hopes he brought new ideas and perspectives. His advice to election candidates? Be willing to make tough decisions. “Populist voting hurts our local governments and hurts the decision-making process in general,” he said. “Sometimes there are going to be difficult decisions that ... need to be made, but those decisions are going to be things that make our community a better place at the end of the day.”

Water release supports fish habitat Nanaimo River Hatchery will be checking the health of this year’s chinook run in the wake of a planned water release last week. The City of Nanaimo and Nanaimo Forest Products released water from Fourth Lake and Jump Creek reservoirs into the Nanaimo River last week to help encourage salmon to move
upstream. It was the first time in two years water levels were increased due to this season’s dry weather. Brian Banks, manager of the Nanaimo River Hatchery, said it helps all salmon species and especially chinook get up river to spawning areas and away from predators.

Calling it a career
After more than a dozen years on the air, Nanaimo radio host Gord Bibby retires from CHLY
Gord Bibby has dedicated every Sunday night for 14 years to hosting his radio show, Elevator Club. NICHOLAS PESCOD/THE NEWS BULLETIN
BY NICHOLAS PESCOD THE NEWS BULLETIN
For over a dozen years, Gord Bibby has spent his Sunday nights tucked behind a microphone broadcasting music to the world. During those years, the 69-year-old host of CHLY’s Elevator Club has accumulated plenty of regular listeners, including a loyal fan from Minnesota named Mike Emmons. “He used to actually record the programs on audio cassette,” Bibby recalled. When Emmons suddenly became sick, he turned to Bibby’s radio show as a means of therapy. “Doctors didn’t know what his problem was and he was really in bad shape. He asked his wife he could get some of the tapes of my show and bring them to the hospital,” Bibby explained.
“When he started listening to those tapes he got better. He sent me a letter saying I credit your program for saving my life and that was pretty heavy. I am a firm believer in the power of music and its healing power.” It was those kinds of moments with his listeners that kept Bibby coming into the studio every Sunday night. “There was many times where either I just wasn’t feeling well or it was Sunday night and I would have much rather gone to bed early,” he said. However, after 14 years behind the microphone, Bibby decided to call it a career with CHLY and broadcasted his final episode of Elevator Club last month. The show was the station’s longest-running program. “I’ve met some great people, great people associated with the radio station during those years and it has opened the
whole world of music to me and a few doors,” Bibby said. “It’s basically increased my love for music.”
“
I am a firm believer in the power of music and its healing power.
Bibby made his first broadcast with CHLY in April of 2000, when the station was only allowed to broadcast on the Internet. Shortly after joining the station, Bibby, who had experience working in the radio industry,
CLASSES START MONTHLY
became the president of Radio Malaspina Society, the nonprofit society that owns and operates the station. As president, Bibby was instrumental in helping the station acquire its broadcast licence. “We actually had to appear in front of the CRTC in Burnaby,” he said. “Of course we did get the licence, which I was very relieved to find out.” In 2010, Emmons, the man who credited Bibby with saving his life, made the trip from Minnesota to Nanaimo. “He actually brought his whole family out here to Nanaimo because he was just wanted to see what the city was like and he just loved it,” Bibby recalled. As a way of giving back, Bibby allowed Emmons and his family to sit in on an episode Elevator Club. “He’s a really cool guy,” Bibby
said about Emmons.“It was very, very neat.” After a decade and a half of religiously hosting Elevator Club, Bibby, who will also step down as president of the Radio Malaspina Society, is looking forward to being able to spend time with his family on Sunday nights again. “I really have sacrificed a lot with doing a Sunday night show,” Bibby said. “I have missed a lot of family activities with my grandkids and that type of thing. Everything is sort of planned around whether grandpa can make it to Thanksgiving dinner and that sort of thing.” Despite calling it a career with CHLY, Bibby still maintains a friendship with the man in Minnesota. “We actually stay in touch quite often,” Bibby said. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Author inspired by mountains
I
CHRIS CZAJKOWSKI shares her stories of living in a remote part of British Columbia on Friday. By Nicholas Pescod The News BulleTiN
Author Chris Czajkowski vividly remembers the day she first saw mountainous terrain. “I was so enthralled by it,” said Czajkowski, who was a young child at the time. “It stuck in my mind so much. I don’t know why I was enthralled by it.” From that point onwards, Czajkowski found herself searching for mountains and relentlessly studying maps. “As I grew older I was always searching for mountain areas and I also loved maps,” she said. Her love for the mountains would eventually take her to a remote area near Nimpo Lake, B.C. “I have never lived in a town or a city,” she said. “I grew up on the edge of a village and my playground was woods and fields behind me and I would never see a soul, but I was always fascinated by the creatures that lived there and the plants.” On Friday (Oct. 10) Czajkowski will be at the Harbourfront Library, where she will be sharing her stories of living in the wilderness and her new book, And The River Still Sings: A Wilderness Dweller’s Journey, which was published by Caitlin Press this past August. The book touches on her lifestyle at Nimpo Lake and her travels around the world.

“It goes through some of my travels and of course the largest part is about my wilderness experiences,” Czajkowski said about the book. Czajkowski was born and raised in the United Kingdom. After teaching at a farm Uganda in her early 20s, Czajkowski decided to hitchhike around the world. “I looked at maps and talked to people and headed in that direction,” she said about her travels. “They put me in one direction and I thought I’ll try this ... it’s just loosely following things that landed in my lap.” She eventually landed in British Columbia’s Chilcotin Mountains and has lived a remote lifestyle for decades. She explained that even when she lived in the United Kingdom, she had always wanted to end up in Canada. “I had always wanted to come to Canada,” she said. Since becoming an author in the 1980s, Czajkowski has released a number of books that touch on her life living a remote lifestyle. “People are always saying, ‘Why do you live like that?” but to me it seems like a very logical way to live,” she said. “Maybe this book will explain it a little bit.” Her books include Cabin at Singing River: One Woman’s Story of Building a Home in the Wilderness and Nuk Tessli: The Life of a Wilderness Dweller. Chris Czajkowski speaks at the Nanaimo Harbourfront Library on Friday at 6:30 p.m. For more information please visit virl.bc.ca or www.caitlin-press.com/events.

The truck is nimbler, has less wash in the corners and simply handles better. The cab is virtually silent and for comfort, the HVAC is split side-toside, front and rear.

differential locker has been added. This truck churns mud better than ever. Verdict Payload is up (to 900 kgs) and so is towing (approx. 5.5 tonnes) yet overall body weight is down by 317 kgs. Ford offers four engines and even the smallest 2.7L EcoBoost will still tow up to 3.8 tonnes. The cab is quieter, yet larger. The floor is flat yet has more storage compartments. The dash is less cluttered yet offers more information. Do you sense a theme here? Consider that the design phase of this truck took four years and the testing was the most intense ever. The result? A list of improvements a hockey rink long – that’s a fact. Now, how will they all work together? Well Ford’s claims will have to play out on roads, across Canada, in the coming years. But from what I’ve seen in Texas, I’d say Giddy Up!

Dirt biking builds a bond
With the distractions of technology, smartphones, television programming, life, video games and more, it can be tough to find an activity in which the whole family can participate let alone enjoy. Age differences between children, gender, and general interests can vary greatly. My brother and I couldn’t be more opposite. Rest assured, there is hope and some of it comes in the form of two wheels. Scott Ponuick, marketing and promotions manager at Popkum Motor Park, in Rosedale, raced snowmobiles and ATVs as a child. And he road raced for many years of his life. He also grew up around the racetrack as his father raced stock cars. You could say motor oil runs through his veins and that motor oil has since been passed to his family. He mentions: “Before we had kids, I bought Christine (his wife) a bike; a Honda XR 86,” since she showed interest in the sport. For all the time that Christine cheered on her husband, it was time for her

sider themselves very lucky because everyone in the family loves to get out onto the trails, even if they aren’t moving very quickly! “It’s so cool to see Taylor and Chase progress,” says Scott. Even though Scott’s employment brings him to Popkum Motor Park weekly, he said that he’d still take the kids on dirt bikes regardless. “It’s such a great way to build motor skills, coordination, a love of the outdoors and you just create so many memories together.” He talks about the families who come out to the Park. Moms, dads, and kids alike take to the track. Christine comments: “You value time together more

to get in her own saddle. He fixed it up and it ran like new. She loved it. She explains: “It was fun watching him, but I’d rather be out there too!” Not too long after that, Christine became pregnant with their first child. “Before she (Taylor) was even born, we started talking about what bike we should get her and getting gear ready for her for when she was old enough,” Christine says. By the time Taylor was two years old she was on two wheels. With training wheels, of course. Then again, you could argue that she was on two wheels much before then because the only way she’d fall asleep as a baby was when her dad would ride her around the back yard in a harness. “She always wanted to get on the bike,” Christine recounts. “Taylor always wanted daddy to take her around.” Now that Taylor is six and her little brother, Chase, is three, they both can ride their own bikes and have a blast doing it. At home, the kids are on Oset electric trials bikes. They don’t make any noise so they can play in the back yard until the batteries run out! There’s also a “throttle” modulator that makes sure the kids can’t get themselves into too much trouble. Scott and Christine con-
when you’re all doing something that you all love. As a full-time working mom, I’m so grateful we have riding as a common bond.” Some might be concerned about safety when it comes to speed and kids. But like any other sport, with the proper equipment, training and supervision, dirt biking is quite safe. And did I mention fun? “I couldn’t think of a better way to spend the day,” Christine remarks. For more information on getting your kids (or yourself!) on two wheels, visit www.popkummotorpark. com. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Muscle cars cool year round by Bob McHugh
Buy now and park it until next spring! With cooler weather ahead, fall can be an opportune time to snag a great deal on that dream-ride convertible you’ve always wanted to own, like the soft-top edition of Chevrolet Camaro. Chevrolet introduced an all-new Camaro Coupe for the 2010 model year and the Camaro Convertible followed a year later. While it shares many similar styling details, this modern day rebirth of Camaro is longer and wider than the celebrated original ‘67, of the “muscle car” era. Big wheels (18-inch to massive 21-inch rim sizes) are an important design feature of new Camaro and it’s a little taller. The 2011 Camaro Convertible was offered in just LT and SS trim levels. The LT comes with a lightweight and powerful LFX 3.6-litre V6 engine. It can generate 323 horsepower and is mated to either a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic. Revised and more realistic new fuel economy (auto) ratings are 12.9 L/100km in city and 8.1 L/100km on highway. A potent 6.2-litre V8 engine (from the Corvette) lies under the hood of Camaro SS. When paired with a sixspeed manual it’s tuned to pump out 425 horsepower. A 400 horsepower edition of this same engine (with more low-speed torque and a fuel saving cylinder deactivation system) is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. The revised fuel rating for Camaro SS (auto) is 14.9 L/100km in city and 9.5 L/100km on highway. There is a key engineering difference between Chevrolet’s Camaro and, its nemesis, the Ford Mustang. While both vehicles send gobs of engine power to the rear wheels, Mustang has a rigid rear axle and Camaro has a more sophisticated independent link system with half-shafts and coil springs attached to an isolated sub-frame. In theory, Camaro should be a better riding and handling sports car but that debate rolls on. A limited edition high-performance Camaro ZL1 arrived in 2012. It came with a supercharged 6.2-litre V8 engine that can produce an outrageous 580 horsepower, and it has obvious collector car potential. And it’s a hoot to drive, especially with the top down! bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

Bright lights, cool new cars by Zack Spencer
The Paris Auto Show is one of those must-visit events for those of us charged with reporting on the latest and greatest new vehicles. So many manufacturers now develop products for a world market so these early European shows often offer a glimpse of what’s coming next to our shores. Here are four machines that caught my eye. Lamborghini Asterion Let’s start with a dream machine. The Lamborghini Asterion concept car was certainly a showstopper. Sidestepping the current design approach of angular shapes with hard edges, this new Lambo has a more curvaceous look that almost mimics a front engine car. What is wedged in the middle of this exotic is a hybrid system that marries a naturally aspirated 5.2L V10 engine with three electric motors (Two in the front producing all wheel drive and another in the transmission for full electric drive capability), producing a whopping 910hp with acceleration that will see this car run to 100km in just three seconds. The Asterion

is capable of running on just electric power for roughly 30km and, providing silent driving in a wickedly sexy machine. This is a just a concept at this point but looks like it could make it to market within the next few years. VW Golf Alltrack OK, now back to earth. With the trend towards all-wheeldrive gaining more and more momentum it was only a matter of time before cars previously without AWD start to appear with this option. Take the popular VW Golf wagon, soon to be available in Europe with AWD and a slightly higher ground clearance. Called the
Alltrack, this more rugged looking and capable VW will certainly appeal to buyers. In North America, we don’t buy many wagons but we certainly love when manufacturers add a slightly higher ride-height, lower body cladding plus AWD and call them a crossover vehicle. Sales jump. Not available in Canada but after chatting with VW Canada executives, they have put in a request to Germany to get this car for our AWD-loving climate. Toyota i-Road Imagine a pure electric, three-wheel, scooter-like vehicle, with a fixed roof, steering wheel and can
drive up to 45km/h with 50km of electric range. The Toyota i-Road attracted big crowds when it was demonstrated at this year’s Paris Show. The small wheel at the rear of the i-Road pivots at low speed for amazing manoeuvrability, plus when driven at higher speeds the entire vehicle tilts over like a motorcycle with the front wheels rotating independently of each other. It looks odd and must feel odd to drive but the upside is covered driving, without a helmet, and emissions free transportation. This would not be popular on our wider roads in North America but the i-Road will fit right in on Europe’s busy streets. Fiat 500X The 500X will be available with front-wheel drive or AWD and a variety of engine and transmission options in Europe. The engine choices have not been divulged for our market but expect to see the 170hp 1.4 turbo 4-cylinder and the 184hp 2.4L 4-cylinder engines here. The Fiat 500L has not been a hit for Fiat but, yet again, add a more rugged look and the sales will likely follow. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

vided by the city. Offering skating opportunities introduces children to sport and leisure activities they might otherwise miss out on, has a direct link to physical literacy skills and provides skills that will build children’s confidence and desire to remain physically active throughout their lifetime. “This is a fantastic opportunity to reach more children of diverse social, economic and cultural backgrounds and introduce them to skills that are truly ‘Canadian’,” said Gary Paterson, recreation coordinator for arenas.

The centre provides programs and services to help children facing developmental or learning disabilities reach their goals.

INFORMATION
LILLIAN FRANCES CAREY (nÊe TEUSZ) August 2, 1920 – October 4, 2014
One of Ladysmith’s oldest native daughters, Lillian Frances Carey, passed away on October 4, 2014, at Nanaimo Seniors Village, at the age of 94. Lillian Frances Carey (nĂŠe Teusz) was an “after the warâ€? baby, born at home on Buller Street, between 4th and 5th Avenues in Ladysmith, August 2, 1920 to John Teusz and Katarina Hirkala, the first couple to be married in Ladysmith’s Catholic Church. She was the youngest of seven children – Jack, Stanley, Katherine, Mary Rose (Maime), Anna and Peter. If there was an organization, association or election in Ladysmith, Fran was a part of it as member, director or executive - the Ladysmith Hospital Auxiliary, the Royal Canadian Legion Auxiliary, Ladysmith Women’s Choir, and Catholic Women’s League. Fran held every position within the Native Daughters of British Columbia including President. She was a director of the Mid-Island Ten-Pin Association, Ladysmith Bowling Association, Ladysmith Junior Bowlers, and secretary of the Little League Association. Fran served on the Air Cadet Liaison Committee, Ladysmith School of Dance (co-founder), St. Mary’s Parish Council (co-founder), and St. Mary’s School Auxiliary (founder). She was Brown Owl and Tawny Owl for the Brownies. Fran was a Life Member of the Ladysmith Old Age Pensioners after serving for years as Director, Secretary and President. For decades Fran was secretary or coordinator of the Christmas Cheer Fund and from 1966 – 1972 a part of the Ladysmith Celebrations Committee. It was no surprise to her family that in August of 2004, Fran was recognized as “Citizen of the Yearâ€?. She could not have been more proud and we will never forget seeing her lead the Ladysmith Days parade. On her retirement Fran said, “The town seems part of me and I seem part of it. When you watch a town grow, it becomes part of your life.â€? Both husband, Allan, and son, Glenn, served as town Aldermen for years and daughter Kathryn was Miss Ladysmith in 1967. Another of Fran’s biggest honours was when Transfer Beach Park was dedicated in 1971. Special guests were Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth, and Prince Philip. At the dedication Queen Elizabeth stopped in front of Fran, asked if she was on the Committee in Charge, shook her hand and asked Fran to convey her congratulations to all of the committee for the manner in which everything was handled. That was indeed a special day. We learned from Fran to be involved, to participate, and to give. Fran couldn’t have been more proud of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She is survived by son, Glenn, and daughter Kathryn (Larry Brown) in Nanaimo and daughter Maureen (David Nelson) in Vancouver. Grandchildren Stefan Johnson (Genevieve) of Nanaimo, Darrin Carey, Selena Hebig (Greg) in Victoria, Kari Reston (Brent) in Wellesley, Massachusetts. Great-grandchildren Sofina and Owen Johnson, Kyle and Madelyn Hebig and Elin Reston. Also missing Fran will be nephew Dennis O’Day (Gigi) in Colorado and niece Eileen Buchanan (Tim) in Alaska. Fran was predeceased by husband, Allan (1988), granddaughter, Leanne Johnson (1990) and by her six brothers and sisters - John (Jack), Stanley, Katherine, Marie Rose (Maime), Anna and Peter. We give sincere thanks to the caring staff at Nanaimo Seniors Village and to Yvonne Leduc for her care, attention and friendship. There will be a Catholic Mass at 1:30 PM on Saturday, October 11, 2014 at St. Mary’s Church in Ladysmith with reception following. Telford’s Funeral Services in charge of arrangements.

Nanaimo News Bulletin Thursday, October 9, 2014

Beefs & bouquets BOUQUET To the mower driver for the great job of clearing the side of Haslam Road, especially the intersection of Haslam and Adshead which has been such a hazard the last couple of years. Shame to the highway maintenance company for not doing it and also the homeowners for not clearing their fence lines.
BOUQUET To the person who came across the package I dropped at the Lantzville mailbox and remailed it. I was hoping that a kind and honest person like you would find it.
BEEF To everyone who shoots guns into the trees at Dumont, and to the land owners who continue to turn a blind eye to it. Will it take a death before someone in a position of authority takes responsibility for this dangerous activity?
BEEF To writers who do not understand the difference between the words ‘compliment’ and ‘complement.’ Please use your dictionary.
BEEF To the couple who came to my yard sale and stole all my hockey sticks and pet cage while I was taking down the signs. What a good example to set for your kids who were in the backseat of your van.
BOUQUET To Gord at Chase River Tim Hortons for being so kind every Sunday morning recently to a widowed elderly lady. Enjoy your new job. We will miss you.
BOUQUET To whomever turned in my navy blue vinyl bag to Wal-Mart on Sunday night. Thank you so much. The documents inside were very important.
BOUQUET To everyone one who made our Hawthorne Park Playground a success, including the committee, volunteers, Kirsty MacDonald from City of Nanaimo, Easy Living Holdings, Palladian, DJ designs, Mayco Mix, Young Blood handyman and the local businesses that contributed to fundraising.
BEEF Stang-2 fix your mufflers and stop speeding. No one is impressed with your noisy car or your driving habits.
BEEF To the low-life thief who stole my expensive electric assist bike and trailer. Having heart failure, I ride for exercise on doctor’s orders and being on fixed income, cannot afford another one.
BOUQUET I owe the rec centre an apology. I didn’t realize the water cannon tower was rotting away. I should have checked before I beefed. BOUQUET Just getting back from out of town I realized how clean Nanaimo city is.
BOUQUET To the owners and staff of Almost 2 Easy movers. You were quick, efficient and reasonably priced. You made my move to a seniors’ complex almost too easy.
BEEF To drug culture. I have great sympathy for drug addicts. These people have a terrible sickness and need our care and support. I have no sympathy for people who begin taking drugs, knowing full well what the consequences can be.
BOUQUET To George S. at Buttertubs for fixing my chairs again.
BEEF To the people who ruined and stole plants from the freshly landscaped garden at the Diplomat Motel. We watched a handyman lovingly craft a stone and bush garden over multiple days only to have it destroyed overnight and the plants ripped from the ground. They were only trying to improve the look of their lot and the area.
BOUQUET To parents who teach their children their civic duty and the right to have an opinion by taking them along to the picket lines. BEEF To the Nanaimo hardware store selling mineral scents advertised to attract deer to your yard. Are they not aware of our growing problem?

BEEF Parking on Cavan Street went from $3 for 12 hours to $6.25 for eight hours without any kind of notice. I work downtown, use the local businesses such as pharmacy, shopping, eateries as well as gas station and convenience store – not anymore. The city has made it too expensive for me.
BEEF To all those speeding and using cellphones while in school zones. What makes you above the law? Beef to the police for not ticketing these idiots more aggressively.
BOUQUET To the kind man who helped me out at Kal-Tire. I had no money to get a flat tire replaced. He saw how I was struggling with the money issue and chipped in to help me pay for it.
Submit your own Beef or Bouquet
BOUQUET To Travelodge Nanaimo for your friendly staff, clean room and lovely breakfast.
BOUQUET To all the picketers at North Oyster Elementary School. Every slot was filled every day all summer. Many thanks to the parents and community for your awesome support this summer.
BOUQUET To south end Kal-Tire. They always give outstanding, courteous service. Twice now I’ve had to replace a flat tire that wasn’t in my budget and both times they gave me a discount.

New goaltender standing tall Guillaume Decelles making saves, earning trust in Clippers’ crease BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
G
uillaume Decelles has worked hard his whole junior hockey career, making sure that when his chance came, he’d be ready. Now, in his final year of junior and his first in the B.C. Hockey League, Decelles is getting that chance to be a No. 1 goalie. “I’ve waited for that since a long time…” he said. “It was hard to get a No. 1 spot.” The 6-foot-3, 200 pounder from Joliette, Que., comes to the Nanaimo Clippers from the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, where he played for the Victoriaville Tigres, Blainville-Boisbriand Armada and Rouyn-Noranda Huskies and backed up NHL-bound netminders. Decelles learned from his peers and was always prepared to play. “You have to compete every single practice, because they’re going to get a new goalie if you’re not doing the job,” he said. “It’s hard on you mentally, but at the same time it got me stronger mentally.” Going into his 20-year-old season, Decelles started thinking about junior A as a Plan B, but as training camp approached, he started liking the idea of coming to Nanaimo and being a leader. The season got off to an inauspicious start, a 6-4 loss, but the butterfly goalie is starting to adjust to BCHL hockey. “I’m getting used to it,” he said. “The beginning was a bit rough, but I’m getting way better and more comfy every game.” He said his team is playing with more composure in front of him, though the stats show

he’s faced 39 shots per game in his first six starts, going 4-2. “I feel better when I have more pucks coming at me,” he said. “You’re more alert and you need to be prepared on every single shot, so it keeps you in the game.” He played every minute of a three-game road trip this past weekend, earning two wins and being chosen BCHL Player of the Week. Mike Vandekamp, coach of the Clippers, said Decelles was steady and was at his best in overtime. “Three-on-three is break-
aways all the time, two-onones. You have to make a big stop,” Decelles said. “I think it’s the part I like the most.” Or maybe the best part is yet to come. The goalie has seen the Clippers get better every day, and is sure they have a chance to be a contender. Some of that, of course, will depend on Decelles, a starter at last, and one who’s showing that he’s earned this opportunity. “I want to give us a chance to win every game,” he said. “This is why I’m here.”
I want to give us a chance to win every game.

V.I. Raiders get another shot at Sun The Raiders haven’t been able to beat the Sun this season, but they’ve been getting closer. The playoffs would be the perfect time for a breakthrough. The B.C. Football Conference regular season ended this past weekend, and now takes a break before the semifinals get underway in a week and a half. Nanaimo’s V.I. Raiders will visit the Apple Bowl to play the first-place Okanagan Sun. The Kelowna team won all three meetings this season by scores of 38-0, 64-20 and 19-7. “We’re getting closer and closer every time,” said Tyler Har vey, Raiders rookie. “Hopefully this time we can capitalize in those big moments.” Marshall Cook, V.I. veteran, said the difference between the two teams last game was just a few plays. “If we can put it all together between the offence, defence and special teams, I think we can easily put ourselves in a great position to win,” he said. The Raiders have a good idea about Sun tendencies and lots of time to study film. “Focus is everything,” Cook said. “A huge amount of focus these next two weeks.” Please look for a playoff preview next week in the News Bulletin. GAME ON … The Raiders and Sun play Oct. 19 at 1 p.m. at Kelowna’s Apple Bowl stadium. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Victor Blasco scored a goal and set up another in a 3-1 win against the Quest Kermodes on Saturday, then, in Sunday’s rematch, with his team down 1-0, he beat three defenders to set up a teammate for a tying goal. The M’s went on to win that one 2-1. VIU’s men’s and women’s teams visit the Langara Falcons on Saturday (Oct. 11) and the Capilano Blues on Sunday.
