Interest high as 10 vie for mayor’s chair
I
School board hopefuls add names to ballot
MOST CANDIDATES in 30 years submit their names leading up to Nov. 15 vote. BY TaMaRa CUNNINgHaM THE NEwS BULLETiN
Ten candidates are fighting to win votes in what’s now the biggest battle for mayor in three decades. The nomination period closed Friday, with Nanaimo newcomer Kendal Csak becoming the 10th challenger for mayor. There are 26 people vying for a seat around the council table. While no records are broken for council candidates, this is the largest leadership race the city has seen since 1982, according to the City of Nanaimo. The last time the city saw a political race of this scale was in 2005, when there were eight candidates for mayor and 39 for council. With more candidates, the election is inevitably going to be a little more interesting, according to Alexander Netherton, political studies professor at Vancouver Island University, who believes the mayoralty is up for grabs from strong contenders. He also anticipates a substantial change in council. Incumbent council members have a leg up, but at least three have announced they will not seek a seat, including councillors George Anderson and Diana Johnstone. “Its an open game,” he said. Ten people had thrown their hats into the mayoral race as of last Friday’s nomination deadline.

Of the current nine trustees, Bill Bard, J a m i e B re n n a n , Nancy Curley, Kim Howland, Dot Neary, Bill Robinson, TerryLynn Saunders and Sharon Welch will be seeking re-election. Trustee Donna Allen will not seek another term, but her husband Nelson Allen, who has previous experience as a trustee, has thrown his hat in the ring. Current school district parent advisory committee president Alana Cameron’s name is on the candidate list. Nanoose band councillor Natasha Bob, who was seeking the NanaimoLadysmith federal NDP nomination, is also seeking to become a trustee in the school district. The Save Cedar Schools Coalition, which has voiced opposition to the school district’s 10-year enhanced facilities plan, has three organizing committee members seeking to join the school board –

What’s in your BED? by John Rogers, President, John’s Bedroom Barn
Today most of us are trying to use more natural products and stay away as much as is reasonable from chemicals. Since we spend about 8 hours a day in our beds, typically with little material between us and the mattress it’s important to know “what is in that mattress?” Virtually all mattresses contain foams of some sort; the foam is what provides the comfort layer on the top. Unfortunately I see what are billed as Canadian made products are actually 49% offshore and 58% Canadian made. While we have strict codes as to what we can make here in Canada there is little control over what we import. PDBE’s (polybrominated diphenyl ethers) and CFC’s are common in offshore products, substances we haven’t used in North American foams for years. At John’s I use only North American made urethane foams from BFF Foam Corp in Richmond, Talalay Natural latex made in Connecticut. Our urethane foams conform to CertiPUR standards and I’m proud to says that we now have our official CertiPUR designation.
Why Latex? The Talalay Process
1. Fill the mold 2. Pull vacuum 3. Freeze particles 4. Gel 5. Heat & Cure 6. Remove core
The Dunlop Process
1. Fill the mold 2. Gel 3. Heat & Cure 4. Remove core
After many years of using Dunlop latex I made the decision to switch to Talalay made in the USA. The Talalay process produces a more consistent product with no variation of firmness from top to bottom. Latex International Latex provides: • The most durable foam in the industry. • 30% more pressure relief than conventional foams. • 70% more breathable than memory foam. • A healthier sleep environment, bed bugs and dust mites won’t go near latex.

BY TAMARA CUNNINGHAM THe NeWS BuLLeTIN
Nanaimo’s newest mayoral candidate is making it no secret he’s served jail time as he enters the race for leadership. Kendal Csak, a motivational speaker and musician, filed his nomination papers Friday, along with businessman Jim Routledge and childcare centre founder Alisha Neumann-Ladret. There are now 10 contenders vying for mayor. Csak told the News Bulletin he has been in the city for about two weeks, moving to the area to be close to his daughter and because he loves the ocean. He’s open about the fact he’s served jail time – including a stretch that lasted a little over a year. He called it regrettable, but pointed out that it would help him answer questions to do with crime, drugs, or related programs. “People change and people learn and as far as I’m concerned my experiences there helped shape me even better,” he said. Csak, who also ran in Toronto’s mayoral race in 2003 when he lived in that province, said if elected, he would be a decisive leader, easy to talk to and professional. Business owner Jim Routledge, a past contender for mayor and board member of Nanaimo Recycling Exchange, will also be looking to secure the mayor’s chair. He says he likes the idea of building a winning team and feels he has the energy, enthusiasm, education and experience for the job. He would like to see Nanaimo participate in discussion around Metro Vancouver’s waste regulation bylaw, and sees opportunity on Newcastle Island where he’d like to help the Snuneymuxw with plans for the island park. Routledge also said there’s a mess that needs to be cleaned up, with issues like Leadercast where support structures have failed – and that he’d like to see a new city manager. Ladret, one of two female candidates for mayor, moved to Nanaimo six years ago and has degrees in English, political science and education from the University of Northern B.C. She’s also the founder of Inquiring Little Minds Education Centre in Ladysmith. Ladret’s campaign platform includes promoting industry and business to more programming for youth and help for mental health, which she says is “vastly underfunded.” With a platform of environmental responsibility, she’s against an incinerator and the proposed Hilton hotel encroaching on Georgia Park. The first-time mayoral candidate also said if elected she’d like to donate her first paycheque to charity and every six months thereafter. “I think it’s important that we give back to our community,” she said.

Bite of Nanaimo adds zesty zing to weekend BY CHRIS BUSH THe NeWS BuLLeTIN
Nine trophies, dozens of delectable dishes and plenty of good company will kick off this weekend with culinary zest at the 22nd annual Bite of Nanaimo. The event happens Friday (Oct. 17) at the Beban Park social centre, where hundreds of people will set their tastebuds a-tingling with offerings by 20 participating eateries, culinary institutes, brewers and distillers turning out for Theatre One’s biggest annual fundraiser. Look for some longstanding supporters, such as Acme Food Co. and the Vancouver Island University baking program to be there for sure, but this year’s event has attracted new arrivals to take tasters into new territory. Arbutus Distillery, Oh Sugar, Wolf Brewing Company and V.I. Brewery have nibbled their ways into the Bite of Nanaimo. “There are two Victoria participant, Oh Sugar and V.I. Brewery,” said Nadine
Wiepning, Theatre One spokeswoman. Both breweries called asking to get in on the Bite, which is a change, Wiepning said, from prior years when organizers had to make the invitations. New for this year also are the Mahle House restaurant – with its herbal garden, the Mahle House will likely be shooting for the best use of local ingredients award – and Cassidy Country Kitchen, which burned down shortly after opening this year, but phoenixed with a food trailer at the Cassidy site until the restaurant is rebuilt. One taste of the kitchen’s pulled pork poutine is guaranteed to set a chorus of angels ringing in your ears. Rewsters, new to downtown Nanaimo, will also make its debut a the Bite, along with Noodlebox, the Buzz Coffee House and Arbutus Distillery. The Culinary Institute of Vancouver Island is another newbie bringing its world-renowned culinary expertise to the Bite. Its menu for the evening:
pistachio-crusted salmon popsicle as its local seafood appetizer, chanterelle mushroom gnocchi and wild greens with roasted squash salad roll – all gluten-free. Participants will be contending for trophies in nine award categories, including best refreshments, best sweet meat and poultry, best seafood, best appetizer, best booth design, best hospitality and best use of local ingredients and more. “We recommend $20 a person in food and drink tickets,” Wiepning said. “Some people will spend two, three times that much, depending on the size of your appetite, but for the average person $20 and you can have your appie, main, dessert, coffee, tea, drinks. Some people actually take some things home.” Organizers are hoping for a sellout to help raise an anticipated $17,000. “This is our biggest fundraiser of the year. [It] helps a lot,” Wiepning said. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

Abduction attempt suspect charged Charges have been approved by the Crown following an investigation into the alleged attempted abduction of a woman in Cedar. The charges stem from an incident June 11 when a 17-year-old woman stopped her car to help some kittens cross a road
on Wilkinson Road. While she was trying to herd the kittens, Cameron Alexander Compton, 20, of Nanaimo, allegedly arrived on the scene, assaulted the victim and then tried to drag her back to his car. Police arrested Compton at his home last Thursday. He appeared
in Nanaimo provincial court Tuesday to face charges of attempted kidnapping, forcible confinement, choking to overcome, aggravated assault and possession of stolen property under $5,000. Compton will remain in custody until his next court appearance Oct. 28.

With the hope of wished-for funding from senior governments fading, the proposed $37 million Englishman River water service project has to re-organize into phases, local politicians said last week. The provincial ministry of health mandated that all surface water collected by municipal water systems destined for homes and businesses must be treated by 2016. That has forced communities like Nanoose Bay to upgrade their systems. The Englishman River Water Service board, along with Regional District of Nanaimo staff, had developed a plan for a $37-million system, but was expecting what used to be a traditional funding split of one-third each between the municipalities, the province and the federal gov-
ernment. It became clear at the Union of B.C. Municipalities conference two weeks ago that kind of funding formula wasn’t going to happen. “There is no way that [$37-million plan] can go ahead without funding,” said Joe Stanhope, the chair of both the regional district board of directors and the Englishman River Water Service board. “Right now, staff is looking at phasing options, but it has to be affordable. “There’s no funding right now, but I guess the key words are ‘right now.’ I think there will be funding in the future.” Stanhope is confident the provincial government will come to the table with a funding plan, considering it was that body that changed the rules on treated water. “I don’t think they will dump that big thing on us without any funding.”

Inbrief Hospitals unprepared for ebola, say nurses province
Permits OK’d for Site C dam
Both the federal and provincial governments have issued environmental assessment certificates for BC Hydro’s Site C dam, the proposed third hydroelectric project on the Peace River in northeastern B.C. The approvals include dozens of legally binding conditions, including a $20 million farmland enhancement fund to offset river bottom land that would be flooded, and compensation for local aboriginal groups whose historic treaty rights to hunting, fishing and trapping would be affected. Cost of the project, last estimated by BC Hydro at $7.9 billion, will factor into a final decision by the B.C. cabinet whether to go ahead with the dam. Energy Minister Bill Bennett has indicated he expects the final investment decision to be made by the end of 2014, and if it’s approved, work would begin immediately. Seven aboriginal communities affected by the proposal have been offered cash and Crown land to compensate for land lost by construction of the dam. All are signatories to Treaty 8, which ensures their rights to hunt, trap and fish as they did before the treaty was signed in 1899. Officials say five of the seven are currently in negotiations. Situated near Fort St. John, Site C’s 1,050-metre-long earthfill dam would create a reservoir 83 km long and two to three times the current width of the river. It would produce enough electricity to power about 450,000 homes.

UNION HEAD outlines concerns to health authorities across B.C. after series of false alarms. BY Jeff Nagel BlACk PRESS
B.C.’s nurses are “legitimately scared” about Ebola but haven’t been adequately trained to safely treat patients and avoid risking themselves or spreading the deadly virus to the broader population, according to their union president. B.C. Nurses Union president Gayle Duteil detailed her concerns Tuesday in a letter to regional health authorities after three suspected Ebola cases turned up in Lower Mainland hospitals but were ultimately ruled out. Duteil said health regions are “not ready” to respond to the arrival of an Ebola case. A union survey found nurses in units designated to isolate and treat Ebola patients haven’t yet been sufficiently trained in using protective gear to avoid infection. Duteil is calling for immediate action to plug gaps in Ebola response planning, along with detailed simulations for front line staff. “This cannot wait until there is another suspected case in an ER within the province,” she said. “If the health system wants our members to put themselves at risk of exposure to a deadly disease we expect that every reasonable precaution be put in place on a priority basis.” Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall acknowledged more must be done and said he will co-chair a committee to review protocols and coordinate efforts by the health authori-

ties. “Our first priority will be on establishing the processes to familiarize or refamiliarize health care workers with personal protective equipment so if they have to use it they can use it safely and confidently,” Kendall told reporters. He said health authorities may disagree with the BCNU assessment that they are unprepared. But Kendall said the handling of each of the three recent suspect cases turned up some issues in need of improvement. He described those cases as low to medium risk.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone is calling for public input to help guide a new 10-year provincial transportation plan he aims to unveil by the end of January. The public consultations for the plan – dubbed B.C. On the Move – include meetings across the province with communities and stakeholders, a Twitter town hall and a dedicated website at engage. gov.bc.ca/transportationplan. Stone said he expects local
priorities coming forward may include calls for secondary road improvements, more highway passing lanes or four-lane sections, as well as enhancements to local transit or cycling routes. The ministry is accepting submissions until Dec. 12. Survey questions to the public released by the ministry emphasize highway improvements and ask nothing about coastal ferry service or fares – the main source of criticism for Stone in recent months. The ministry will instead rely on previous public consultations in
2011 by the B.C. Ferry Commissioner to guide the ferries portion of the new plan. As for how to pay for new infrastructure, the ministry document says the province would “explore different funding options” while also maximizing federal contributions and partnering with First Nations, local governments and the private sector. NDP transportation critic Claire Trevena said the questions posed by the province are “exceedingly superficial” and fail to address B.C.’s biggest transportation problems.

Two regional directors in line to be acclaimed BY KaRl YU THE NEwS BullETIN
Transportation-related projects are on the to-do lists of two incumbent Regional District of Nanaimo directors who will run uncontested in the 2014 civic election. Maureen Young, electoral area director for Extension, East Wellington and Pleasant Valley (Area C) and Howard Houle, her counterpart for Gabriola Island and its surrounding islands (Area B) both have goals that involve cycling. Young, a director for three terms, is looking to improve walking and cycling on the rural roadsides in her area, which she said are narrow and winding. “We’ve actually been working towards that on Jingle Pot Road,” Young said. “We have met with the minister of transportation with residents in June. It’s going to be a challenge along that road and also I’d like to see some improvement on the path trails along the Meadow Drive and areas.” Second-term director Houle said cycling infrastructure on Gabriola Island, including the construction of a right-of-way, will be one of the prime things he’ll be pushing for in the first part of his term. “We already have a cycling plan for Gabriola, what I have to do is introduce it to the RDN and then from there we can go and look for federal and provincial infrastructure money to be able to create that,” Houle said. Barring unforeseen circumstances, such as withdrawal, Young, Houle and Joe Stanhope, Area G director and current board chairman, will be acclaimed as directors. Municipalities, such as the District of Lantzville and the City of Nanaimo, appoint directors to sit on the Regional District of Nanaimo board from their own councils. The appointments are made on an annual basis. Other electoral area directors will have to campaign. On top of seeking a Nanaimo school trustee position, Rosmy Jean Louis will be running for the Area A director’s seat (South Wellington, Cassidy and Cedar), challenging incumbent Alec McPherson. George Holme, Area E (Nanoose) director, won’t seek re-election. Vying for his seat on the board, Ed Mayne, Bob Rogers and Gordon Wiebe. Profiles on Regional District of Nanaimo, City of Nanaimo, and Nanaimo school district candidates will be going on the Nanaimo News Bulletin’s website in the coming weeks. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

EDITORIAL
Garbage cans are overfilled
The people of Nanaimo spoke, and decided they didn’t want an incinerator here. That’s all well and good, but it begs the question: what do we do with our waste? Waste Reduction Week in Canada begins Monday (Oct. 20) and many cities, including Nanaimo, are observing the occasion, as well as other levels of government, schools, businesses and individuals. The City of Nanaimo is promoting a Zero Waste Challenge, which aims to inspire residents to ‘slim their bin’ by throwing away less. It involves picking through our trash cans and weighing our waste, and it’s understandable if some people don’t want to get down and dirty to deal with our garbage problem. But even for those who aren’t inclined to examine their trash bags, it’s worth thinking about the issue rather than just leaving it until it starts to stink. According to the municipality’s estimate, Nanaimo residents currently divert 63 per cent of waste away from the landfill. It’s an admirable achievement, but the city thinks the figure could be closer to 80 per cent if the curbside program was used to its fullest, or 90 per cent if residents make trips to the recycling depot, too. Across B.C., we send an average of 600 kilograms a year to landfills and we do it without really thinking about it. Waste Reduction Week and the Zero Waste Challenge are intended to make us think twice before we overstuff our garbage bags. There are a lot of us who set out to make the world a better place, in our own ways, whatever those may be. Failing that, we can at least try not to make the world much worse. We hope some Nanaimoites find some creative ways to observe Waste Reduction Week. We hope some people do work toward zero waste. Most of all, we just hope that people care.

the province. It’s also becoming clearer that the Tsilhqot’in ruling is unique. It’s unlikely to be repeated by most other First Nations, even if they are willing and able to spend the years and millions to enrich lawyers in pursuit of it. Here’s the bad news. As of this year, the B.C. Treaty Commission has paid out $627 million to First Nations to support treaty negotiations. Most of that is in the form of loans, which are to be repaid out of the cash settlements that Ottawa contributes to settle modern treaties. Pierre acknowledges that some communities are close to completing treaties, but their debt has climbed. Others are just “spinning their wheels” with no real hope of achieving a treaty, Pierre said. There are First Nations, Westbank and Osoyoos prominent among them, which are thriving without treaties. Haida and Klahoose have developed successful forest products businesses as they move toward selfgovernment. Federal and provincial governments must recognize the successes, and the failures. u Tom Fletcher is a columnist and legislative reporter for Black Press.

Lantzville right to tax private school To the Editor,
Re: Lantzville denies tax exemption to private school, Oct. 14. As a Lantzville resident and supporter of the public school system, I am pleased that Lantzville council voted to discontinue the permissive tax exemption for Aspengrove School. There seems no financial reason why the community at large, many of whom could not afford to send their children to this school, should subsidize those who can. It is hard to see how the school provides a benefit to the community “as an employer or landholder” any more than, say, Canadian Tire or McDon-
ald’s. Any private institution offering a necessary service for a high fee, unaffordable to most, is actually counterproductive to community. The very act of opting out of the public system by those who obviously value education impoverishes the public system by removing their influence on behalf of all students. I would love to see the small classes, the extra curricular activities and program variety available to all students. The tax exemption is a relatively small amount that should not cause the sky to fall as feared by school officials.

Business trips should make business sense To the Editor,
The frequent dispensing of propaganda from local government and its partners has become nauseating. The tax-funded Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation
has bragged about its worthy trip to China but all I hear is noise. Other than money spent on planes, hotels and dinners I have not heard any announcements of mega jobs soon to appear or that thousands of tour-
ists are on their way. The self-serving promotional hogwash needs to end and civic government and its counterparts need to spend money frugally and not waste it on trips.

School board elections are a chance to choose a bright future To the Editor,
Over the past several months there has been a focus on what was wrong with the education system rather than what is right. Now is the time to shift that focus back to what we all have in common – success for students. British Columbia has one of the best education systems in the world because of fabulous teachers, administrators and support staff. Yes, there are still challenges to overcome. There will always be a need for increased funding and staffing. But our education system should not be defined by the challenges. It should
be defined by our willingness and ability to work together to overcome them. On Nov. 15, you will have an opportunity to elect the women and men who will lead and oversee public education in your community. School trustees working in their communities with education partners and parents provide focus and direction to help realize the educational aspirations of students throughout the province. Public education is everyone’s business. It is the engine that will determine the success of our province. Our future employees, leaders, parents and citizens will come
from today’s classrooms. Nov. 15 is your opportunity to select the individuals in your community who will advocate for that future, and who will determine the directions to guide this critical public investment. Public education is always exciting and challenging in B.C. When I see students in our classrooms supported by dedicated teachers, administrators support staff, and trustees, I see the future. Working together with a clear focus on what is best for student ensures that the future will be bright.

BY TOM FLETCHER
Wednesday, November 5, 2014 – AND – Wednesday, November 12, 2014
Premier Christy Clark’s government launched its fall legislative session last week with a speech from the throne offering progress on resource trade, partnership with aboriginal people and labour peace with public school teachers. The speech described B.C. following the same path to Asia for liquefied natural gas as it did in expanding lumber trade when the U.S. housing market declined. “Like forestry, B.C.’s natural gas industry has relied on exports to the United States,” noted the speech, read by Lt. Governor Judith Guichon. “But the American shale gas revolution has meant the export south has dried up – and is never coming back.” The gas industry employs 1,700 people in the Fort Nelson area alone, and can be maintained only by reaching Asian markets. The speech notes that Chinese LNG

consumption rose by a fifth in the first half of 2014. “This is a chance – not a windfall,” the speech notes, after one of the leading investment groups warned of shifting conditions that could delay its participation. Clark told reporters after the speech that talks continue with Petronas, leader of one of the largest of 15 current LNG proposals, with a pipeline and gas export facilities planned for the B.C. north coast. “We are good at negotiating in this government,” Clark said. “We’ve got a good record. We’re going to keep negotiating hard.” The government plans to table framework legislation this month to define the environmental standards and tax structure for the industry, which has more than a dozen international players considering LNG development. NDP leader John Horgan said it’s been a year since the government first promised a tax structure for LNG, and now with a deadline looming at of the end of October, Clark is trying to back away from 2013 election promises to retire B.C.’s debt and slash taxes based on LNG revenue. editor@nanaimobulletin.com

Band’s bond grows after horrific accident
BY NICHOLAS PESCOD THE NEWS BULLETIN
It was August of 2013 and Thor Vanderkam and his band Tommy Alto were on the road and only a couple hours away from the comforts of home when fate decided to take them on a short ride from hell. “We should have died,” Vanderkam, the band’s lead vocalist, told the News Bulletin. Some 12 hours earlier, the South Surrey-based band had just wrapped up the final show of its first Western Canadian tour in Coleman, Alta. “We were just excited to get home,” Vanderkam recalled. “We were just innocent skinny white kids hopping in a van.” As the band approached Hope, B.C., fate took its course. “Our driver fell asleep and slammed us into the side of a mountain,” Vanderkam said. Vanderkam, along with his bandmates, Ben Klassen, Paul Engles, Chartwell Kerr, were injured in the crash. “We are all incredibly lucky to be alive,” Vanderkam said. “It’s really, really crazy that we are all still here.” The band members experienced a range of injuries from a few scrapes to broken bones. However, Engels sustained the most serious injuries. “Paul wasn’t so lucky. He got a very serious brain injury and was in a coma for five weeks after the accident happened,” Vanderkam said. “He wasn’t able to con-
tinue with the band. He’s doing lots of “I wrote it immediately after I got home rehab right now.” from the hospital,” Vanderkam said.

For Vanderkam there is no doubt about what the accident has done for him and the band. “After the accident, we value the music we create together a lot more than we ever did before,” he said. “We are super happy with the way the band is now. It’s an unfortunate way to get there, but it definitely brought the remaining members a hell of a lot closer going through a tragedy like that.”

Tango takes over Nanaimo
I
ROMULO LARREA will perform with his tango trio at the Port Theatre. BY NICHOLAS PESCOD The News BulleTiN
When Romulo Larrea was a young boy, he received a gift that would forever change his life. “My father brought me a black box,” Larrea recalled. “I thought that was a fantastic soccer ball.” However, it was no soccer ball. Inside the black box was a bandoneon, a German free reed instrument. “It’s a very great instrument,” Larrea said. Since then, Larrea has gone on to become a highly regarded composer, musical director and is often credited for bringing tango to Montreal. On Friday (Oct. 17) Larrea and his tango trio, known as the Romulo Larrea Tango Ensemble, will be performing at the Port Theatre. The performance will blend the art of tango with the sounds of Buenos Aires and explore the story behind the bandoneon. Larrea was born in Montevideo, Uruguay and has lived and performed all over the world. During the late 1970s, he moved to Quebec, where he founded one of the first tango groups in the city. While in Quebec he would later create his ensemble, which has since toured around the globe.

In 1999, Larrea received a Félix Award for Arranger of the Year. The award is given out annual to musicians that are from or based in the province of Quebec. “That is enormous for me,” Larrea said about receiving a Félix. The Romulo Larrea Tango Ensemble performs at the Port Theatre on Friday at 7:30 p.m. Ticket prices range from $5 to $40. There will be a pre-show chat at 6:45 p.m. in the Harmac Room.

Colloquium focuses on drones
I
FORUM DISCUSSES the military use of unmanned aerial vehicles and their importance to society. By Nicholas Pescod The News BulleTiN
In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles, also known as drones, have become increasingly popular with militaries around the world and one local professor is asking questions. “What difference does it make to take the pilot out of the cockpit? Does it change anything? And I suppose in doing that we’re applying a kind of bigger idea ... once we shape our tools, do our tools shape us?” asked Dr. John Hill, Vancouver Island University’s Writing Centre coordinator. “Is the UAV itself the important thing rather than the specific instances of what it does? Does it change the way we engage with each other on a large scale?”
Those questions will be discussed on Friday (Oct. 17), when Hill along with Dr. Ann Rogers host a colloquium titled, The Rise of the Drones: From the Great War to Gaza. “This talk is about what seems like a new phenomena of unmanned aerial vehicles that we’ve seen in operation on the war on terror in Afghanistan and places that America hasn’t actually been at war with, like Pakistan, the Yemen, Somalia and such places,” Hill said. When it comes to the topic of drones, both Hill and Rogers are well-versed. The two both worked at Jane’s Intelligence Review, where Rogers was a deputy editor and Hill was the China
“
The technology is there to make these things work a lot better than they used to.
Watch editor. Earlier this year, the duo released their book, U n m a n n e d : Drone Warfare and Global Security. While many people may believe that the military use of drones are a recent phenomenon, they can actually be traced back as early as the First World War. “Even in World War One, they were experiment crude controlled [drones] either through a program through a gyroscope that allows an airplane to correct it’s own course and altitude and those sort of things,” explained Hill. Over the last decade, the popularity of drones has
increased significantly with militaries around the world due to advances in technology. “The technology is there to make these things work a lot better than they used to,” Hill said. “Basically the sophistication of technology is that it allows a huge increase in the level of computing power that a small aircraft can carry.” Hill and Rogers speak at Malaspina Theatre on Friday at 10 a.m. Free parking is available in lot 5F between 9:15 a.m. and 10 a.m. For more information on the free event, please visit www.viu. ca. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Halloween art class goes hands-on By Nicholas Pescod The News BulleTiN
For centuries those in Mexico have celebrated the Day of the Dead, or Halloween, by creating Calaveras, otherwise known as sugar skulls. Next Saturday (Oct. 25) kids between the ages of 5 and 11 will have the opportunity to create their own sugar skulls at the Nanaimo Art Gallery’s Art Lab. “We were thinking, what could we do that is really unique and really fun around Halloween,” explained Jennifer Van de Pol, the gallery’s art education coordinator. Although the Mexican tradition is to create sugar skulls, students at the Art Lab will be creating their skulls out of paper mache. “So we don’t run into overly hyper

kids,” explained Van de Pol about the reason not to use actual sugar. The class, which will be run by art education assistant Jacqueline Yeo, will teach students how to make 3-D scuplutres as well as how to work with different mediums. Students can also expect to get a little messy.

THE MUTED NOTE features songs inspired by the works of B.C.-based poet P.K. Page.
BY NICHOLAS PESCOD The News BulleTiN
A Quebec duo will be in the Harbour City next week to perform a suite of songs based on the works of poet P.K. Page. On Oct. 23, award winning dancer and singer Susanna Hood along with trombonist and composer Scott Thomson will be at the Harbour City Theatre to perform their multifaceted project, The Muted Note. “At its basis, it is a suite of songs,” explained Thomson. “I am a composer and I set the poems to music to be sung by Susanna and we perform them in different contexts.” Thomson originally planned to write one song for Hood, but found that the more he dove into Page’s work, the more songs he could create. “I set out to write one song and it worked pretty well and ... in the end there was suite of 11,” he said.

Those 11 songs would eventually end up on Thomson and Hood’s record, The Muted Note. In addition to their performance, Hood and Thomson will be holding a workshop, where they will explore the relationships between written text, music, and dance through improvisation. The Muted Note takes place at the Harbour City Theatre, 25 Victoria Rd., on Oct. 23 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets range from $5 to $30. The workshop will take place on Oct. 22 at the Solace Wellness Centre, 719 Fitzwilliam St., at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $18 to $20.

In July 1976, Greg MacAleese, a police officer investigating the fatal shooting of Michael Carmen in Albuquerque, New Mexico needed help in solving this senseless murder. He created a crime scene reenactment, put up his own reward money and guaranteed anonymity. This started the program we know today – Crime Stoppers.

Formerly known as the Kids Coin Drive for Variety, the new name highlights Variety’s belief that children who have special needs can achieve little victories every day and be leaders in their community. Xander is one of nine adopted children in the Charmley family. He was born with fetal alcohol syndrome and also has diabetes. Variety helped Xander by providing funding for expensive insulin pumps to manage his diabetes, and also an iPad with special language applications.

VIU STUDENTS compete to fundraise for Nanaimo Child Development Centre.
A friendly and highly competitive challenge between three student teams in Vancouver Island University’s Master of Business Administration program resulted in bragging rights for one and a cheque for $7,073 delivered to the Nanaimo Child Development Centre. “This is a win-win-win situation, for our MBA students, the university and community partners,” said Dave
Woodward, MBA Internship coordinator. “We challenge our students to go out in the community under the umbrella of our corporate sponsors and raise as much money as they can on one day for a charity or organization that is a worthy cause.” Michelle Kocourek, representing the child development centre, said she was impressed with the quality of events organized to raise funds, which included a Carnivale familyfocused event at Brooks Landing (the winner), a Westwood Lake run/ walk event, and a beer and burger night in cooperation with the Lions Club.

Popular Camry benefits from major upgrades by Zack Spencer
Q70 sedan poised, posh Infiniti’s flagship Q70 sedan has undergone re-engineering to improve refinement and road characteristics while also exhibiting a striking design refortified end to end. Perhaps most noteworthy for 2015 is the availability of a segmentexclusive long wheelbase version denoted by an ‘L’ affixed to the Q70’s badging. With an additional 150 millimetres of stretch inserted into its rear seating area, the Q70L’s leather-lined cabin supplies limo-like legroom to its rear-seat luminary. While a CEO may feel at home in the rear quarters of the Q70L, family buyers are bound to enjoy the stretch as well, which eases the burden of inserting kids into car seats. The V6 engine in the Q70 Sport was my power plant of preference unless finding myself in the passing lane with tarmac running short. Left of the centre-line is where eight cylinders effortlessly outmatches six. Otherwise, the V6 is an exceptionally refined power plant, which pierced the bubble of contempt I harbour for V6 engines of less polish. Displacing 3.7 litres, the DOHC V6 engine develops 330 horsepower. It’s rated under the government’s revised standards at 13.2L/100km in the city and 9.6L/100km on the highway. Infiniti’s liquid-smooth 5.6L V8 engine jacks performance considerably with the production of 416 horsepower, however, economy slips to 15L/100km in the city and 10.2L/100km on the highway.

The 2015 Camry is a North American staple, says columnist.
The launch for the heavily updated Toyota Camry took place here in the heart of NASCAR country. This was all to emphasize just how American the Camry has become. The chief engineer of the 2015 Camry is from Michigan, not Japan, as was the case with the rest of the crew that updated over 2000 parts on this latest sedan. The car is Toyota’s cornerstone in the United States, thanks in part to the association the brand and the car has with the immensely popular NASCAR series and the long reputation it has for reliability and value. It is the most popular passenger

Drive Not just happy to make a more appealing looking car, the engineers also went about improving the ride, handling and noise inside the car. The track of the wheels has been widened and the lower end models also get wider wheels for improved feedback but the biggest change is to the steering feel. The Camry is equipped with electric power steering and this new 2015 Camry is a big step forword. Straight-line stability has been improved and the car, with a more rigid platform and slightly stiffer springs and shocks, is now sending good feedback to the driver.
car in North America, No. 1 in the U.S. and third in Canada’s Toyota lineup behind the Corolla and RAV4. Looks When a car is typically refreshed, the designers add a new front bumper, grille headlights and rear taillights and call it a day. Not the case here, the 2015 Toyota Camry has all-new sheet metal, providing a sleeker and more eye-catching design. The wheelbase remains the same length but the track, side-to-side has been widened for more stability. The overall length is only slightly longer, in the nose, to help achieve the more polished look.
Verdict What haven’t been updated are the engine and transmission. The same 178hp 2.5L four-cylinder with a six-speed automatic does duty along with an optional 3.5L V6 putting out 268hp. Yes, these engines have a proven record, but at some point these engines will require upgrades or replacements. As it stands, this is much more than a regular mid-cycle facelift. The 2015 Camry looks much better, drives with more confidence and has a pleasant interior. With the help of NASCAR, the Camry will remain a North American staple, this time with a lot more style. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Fall Car Care Special section Don’t get stranded roadside I CAR CARE Month a good time for some simple reminders.
The News BulleTiN
Tune up
Kevin Carlson, head technician at Newcastle Nissan, works on a Nissan Pathfinder sport-utility vehicle.
A
If you break down at the side of the road in Canada, chances are pretty good you’ll get help from another motorist. According to a recent survey, about half of Canadians would stop to help a motorist in need. Another third of the population would decide whether to pull over depending on the motorist’s appearance (so it pays to spruce up a bit before you step out). The survey was conducted by Leger Marketing on behalf of Car Care Canada to help promote October as Car Safety Month. But why even take the chance that you’ll need to rely on the goodwill of your fellow Canadians? With winter approaching, you can do a lot to ensure that you won’t get stranded. Follow these winter-preparation tips to
keep safer on the road and reduce your gas expenses. Check your battery – Are your battery terminals covered in a crusty, white deposit? That corrosion can insulate the terminals and prevent your car from receiving its first boost of ignitionsparking power. Scrape away the deposits with a wire brush. And if your battery is getting old, replace it. Don’t over idle – Your engine needs only 30 seconds of idling to warm up sufficiently in winter before you start driving. By limiting your idling time to half a minute, you’ll not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions but also save on fuel. Check the coolant – Engine coolant (which either cools or warms your engine, depending on the season) should be flushed and refilled every two years in most vehicles. Check your tires – Tire tread condition is crucial when driving on ice and snow. Also check inflation.

Be prepared for emergency –

Keep your fluids topped up –
When road grime gangs up on your windshield, you’ll need a healthy supply of winter windshield washer solution to see clearly. Check your fluid reservoir frequently. Replace wiper blades – Consider special snow blades if the weather dictates. Keep warm – Make sure your heater and defroster work properly. Signs of potential heater problems include a chirping or screeching sound when you turn on your heater, an unusually stiff dashboard heater-control lever, moisture accumulation inside your car, and most obviously, a lack of heat.

Oil’s well
Nanaimo News Bulletin 35
THE NEWS BULLETIN
Adam Hanna, oil service technician at Great Canadian Oil Change, checks the oil level of a Ford F-150 pickup truck.
Auto service shouldn’t be put off too long The average age of a personal vehicle on the road today is more than 11 years, according to recent news reports. In tough economic times, it’s natural to rein in spending. But the experts at the nonprofit National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence warn that putting off routine auto maintenance
or ignoring service intervals is false economy. Small issues can morph into more expensive repairs. Frequently neglected items include oil changes, tire and brake service, wheel alignment, air and fuel filters, and transmission service, according to technicians.
THE NEWS BULLETIN
Old-school style
Although Nanaimo’s Budget Brake and Muffler Auto Centre on Shenton Road is a full-service repair facility, it still rocks it old school, doing custom dual exhausts. Dennis Campbell, franchise owner, removes a muffler.

vehicles in the parking lot equal in value to your own and modern equipment in the service bays. Look for a courteous staff, with a service consultant willing to answer all of your questions.

Fall Car Care Special section Cars are only as old as they feel A car is a considerable expense, especially at a time when fuel costs remain high and cost of living continues to rise. The longer a car can stay on the road, the better an investment that vehicle becomes. Fortunately, there are several steps vehicle owners can take that should ensure their vehicles stay on the road for years to come. Go long – Scale back on short trips. The toll cold starts take on a vehicle can add up over time. When a car is started, condensation builds up in the vehicle’s exhaust system. On longer trips, that condensation will gradually evaporate. However, on short trips, that condensation often does not have enough time to evaporate, and over time too many short trips will lead to an accumulation of water in the muffler that can lead to rust and rust holes on the muffler. Short trips also can negatively affect gas mileage. When possible, walk or ride a bicycle. Over time, reducing the amount of short trips you take in your car will greatly reduce wear and tear on your vehicle and improve your fuel efficiency as well. Stay on schedule – Stick to the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance. Adhering to your vehicle’s maintenance schedule serves many

purposes, including improving the its durability and protecting various components, including its cooling system and drivetrain. While many manufacturers used to recommend changing a vehicle’s oil every 3,000 miles, many of today’s newer automobiles need their oil changed less frequently. Check your owner’s manual for manufacturer recommendations regarding oil changes, and don’t forget to replace the oil filter when changing your vehicle’s oil.
Brake dance – Pay attention to brake pads. Brake pads that are allowed to wear down can cause damage to the brakes’ rotors and calipers. That damage can prove costly and make things harder on your vehicle. Keep an eye on your vehicle’s brake pads, which are far less expensive to replace than rotors and calipers, and do not allow them to wear down to metal. Keep rolling – Keep your tires properly inflated. Tires that are underinflated will negatively impact your vehicle’s fuel efficiency. In addition, the tires’ life expectancy is reduced considerably when tires are not properly inflated. Keep tires inflated at the pressure recommended in your vehicle’s owner’s manual. Look within – Take care of your vehicle’s interior, too. Caring for the car’s interior will not necessarily impact its performance, but a wellkept interior will improve how you look at your vehicle and how much you enjoy driving it. Preserve the vehicle’s door and window seals; clean the dashboard, vacuum the floor mats; and wipe down the vehicle’s interior, whether it’s cloth or leather. Keeping up the appearance of the car’s interior will make the vehicle more enjoyable to drive and increase its value at resale.

THE NEWS BULLETIN
Darryl Goodman, automotive technician with 20 years experience servicing Honda vehicles, changes the timing belt in a Honda SUV. Hondas on the Island should have engine timing belts changed every 160,000 kilometres or seven years to prevent engine damage and ensure many happy years behind the wheel.
On rainy roads this autumn, it’s critical that drivers can see clearly A windshield can be a motorist’s best friend or his worst enemy when driving in hazardous conditions, but savvy drivers know there is no
excuse for the latter. Windshields that have been treated with a repellant are significantly safer than those that have not.
Do-it-yourself treatment kits can make windshield glass easier to clean for up to six months, and can feature hydrophobic technology designed
specifically to coat windshield glass and make it easier to remove items that may obstruct a driver’s vision, including ice, dirt and bugs.

Beefs & bouquets BOUQUET To the awesome folks at Laird Wheaton Body Shop. Thank you for taking such good care of me and my Trailblazer. Your customer service was great and all the extras you provided were amazing, from the courtesy shuttle to the beautiful cleaning job of her interior and exterior. BEEF To the national charitable organization that turned my contribution into permission to inundate me with weekly mail solicitations. One has to wonder how much of the actual donation goes to the needy or sick when so much is spent on free cards, stickers, pens and gift bags, not to mention postage. BOUQUET To Craig from The Transfer Studio. Thank you for putting together a slide show and for video taping a recent Celebration of Life Service I was organizing. Both were first class productions. BEEF To the drivers who still don’t know what distracted driving is. BOUQUET to ICBC for raising its rates and penalties to help the distracted drivers understand better. BEEF To all Nanaimo gas stations that continue to charge Nanaimo drivers higher gas prices than both Victoria and Courtenay and Comox drivers. Why have the prices in Nanaimo not come down? BOUQUET To the person who found my camera and turned it over to the RCMP. This old couple was able to wish their 50-year-old daughter a happy birthday.
BEEF To the three-toed sloth, which sleeps up to 20 hours per day. That makes it one of the most slothful mammals I know.
BEEF To businesses and people who fly very torn and faded flags on their flagpoles. It is disrespectful. The flags should be taken down immediately and replaced. There is a thing called flag etiquette which most people don’t seem to know about these days. If you don’t know the rules on how to fly a flag, don’t fly one.
BOUQUET To Dr. Ehman, Dr. Somerville and the amazing perinatal nurses. We are so appreciative of the excellent care we received before and after the delivery of our baby girl. You all made us feel at ease during a potentially scary time. Thank you from Trina, Leif and baby Naomi.
BOUQUET To Chris and Veronica Mitchell from Ferguson Exteriors for their sponsorship of minor hockey. Your generosity was greatly appreciated. Also a huge thank you to their son Robert for making Niki feel so special with the Buccaneers hockey team.
BEEF To the local roofing company whose crew re-roofed our home in July. A few of the shingles are not laying flat and the chimney flashing is poorly done. I was assured by the manager the shingles would even out. The problem still exists.
BEEF To anyone who speeds through a school zone. School zones are 30 kilometres per hour from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday when school is in session. There is no excuse not to know that.
BOUQUET To Simon Holt for good service. BEEF To all those drivers out there who think it isn’t necessary to use your turn signal. It’s installed in your vehicle for a good reason. The car behind you can’t read your mind.
BOUQUET To the two people who spotted my dog running free on or near Townsite Road at rush hour. You kept my dog from running out into the traffic until I showed up to claim him.
Nanaimo News Bulletin 45
BOUQUET Thank you to the lady in the red truck who helped a senior citizen get home safely. BEEF To some holistic practitioners who share confidential information about their clients. It gives the honourable ones a bad name. BOUQUET To the kind-hearted people who walk the waterfront and smile and stop to talk and even walk along awhile. The simple act of a smile and a hello costs nothing and makes someone else’s day so much brighter. May you be blessed with the same goodness coming back to you. BEEF To the driver of the pickup truck travelling between Courtenay and Nanaimo. Your antics could have easily caused death. Travelling 100 km/h ahead of us and slamming on your brakes caused us to stop abruptly. BOUQUET To the Southgate Tim Horton’s, Costco and Superstore for their generous donations to the Nanaimo Chapter of the Children’s Heart Network. Your support helped make the Pumpkin Patch Event a huge success. BEEF To the two thieving teenage skateboarders who pigged out at the Chinese restaurant buffet and then left without paying. BOUQUET To those who provided the piano outside the library in town. I enjoyed playing it and hearing it played by others. Please bring it back next year. BOUQUET To ‘premier’ George. You did a great job on my carpet. Money well spent. BOUQUET To Moe and her great staff at the Terminal Park Starbucks. A very friendly place for coffee.

BOUQUET To the staff at Nanaimo’s banks, restaurants and stores for always being helpful and friendly and having nice smiles.
________________________________________________________________________________
BEEF To all the drivers who stop on a main street to let people out from side streets – don’t do this. You can be held responsible for accidents caused by drivers behind you who are not expecting you to stop. You have the right of way, keep going.
BEEF To almost all the electricians listed in our city’s phone book. My wife called every one listed to quote us on work we needed done at our house. Not one answered their phone, and after leaving messages with every one, only one bothered to call back. I don’t know how people can run a business this way.
BOUQUET To the young mom in Wal-Mart who recommended a mattress topper to me. I let her take the only one available. Shortly after she found me in the store because she had found another one. Thanks to her helpfulness I am now having great sleeps.
BOUQUET To Chantelle and her two co-workers at the Bay for their assistance and concerns when I had a fall in the store. Also, to the gentleman who helped get me on my feet. Thank you all, your efforts were certainly appreciated.

Nanaimo Clippers forward Anthony Rinaldi takes a shot on Cowichan Valley Capitals goaltender Lane Michasiw during Friday’s B.C. Hockey League game at Frank Crane Arena. The Clips came back to win the Island Division matchup by a score of 4-3.
Clippers finding ways to win early on Quickfacts I JR. A TEAM has won six of last seven games. BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
The Nanaimo Clippers have come a long way in a short time, and through it all, they’re winning. The city’s B.C. Hockey League team earned two more victories over the Thanksgiving weekend and has won six of its last seven. Nanaimo came back to beat the Cowichan Valley Capitals 4-3 on Friday at Frank Crane Arena, then travelled down the Malahat the next night to hold off
the Victoria Grizzlies in another 4-3 win. “Character is what it’s showing,” said Spencer Hewson, Clippers forward. “We’re winning games and everyone’s willing to do anything to win that game.” On Friday, the visitors led 3-2 midway through the third period, but the Clips tied it up and then got a last-minute goal to send the fans home happy. In Saturday’s tilt, Nanaimo built a 4-1 lead and was able to protect it. Winning tight hockey games represents progress, the Clippers think. “At the start there we were scoring quite a few goals, but we were

Cole Maier scored the winning goal against the Caps and Rempal, Devin Brosseau and Jake Jackson also tallied. Jakob Severson made 29 saves for his first win. The next night, Hewson, Jacob Hanlon, Brosseau and Yanni Kaldis tallied and Guillaume Decelles made 36 saves for the win. “The guys fought hard for the two wins this weekend and it’s nice to be the top dogs on the

Island right now,” Rempal said. Now they’ll test themselves against an out-ofconference opponent, as the Prince George Spruce Kings roll into town Friday (Oct. 17). The Sprucies outscored the Clips 6-4 in the season opener a month ago. “We played them at the showcase and we were really sloppy,” Rempal said. “That’ll definitely be in the back of our minds, to come back and take those guys out. They’re [tied for] first place in the Mainland [Division] right now, so we kind of compare ourselves to other divisions and try to be at the top of their division, as well.” sports@nanaimobulletin.com

The V.I. Raiders aren’t ready for football to end yet, so they’ve got to win a big game. Nanaimo’s B.C. Football Conference team opens the playoffs Sunday (Oct. 19) in Kelowna against the top-seeded Okanagan Sun. “Any team’s beatable,” said Liam O’Brien, Raiders quarterback. “That’s why football’s awesome, is because any given Sunday, anything can happen. If we play our game and we play well, we definitely have a chance of winning.” The Sun won all three regular-season meetings against the Raiders. Ash Gayat, V.I. defensive end, said his team was better each time out against Okanagan and the last game, the difference between winning and losing was just a couple of plays. “We just need to minimize mistakes and have our focus there from whistle to whistle,” he said. V.I. will travel to Kelowna the day before the game, so guys will be rested and ready. Brian Ridgeway, the team’s coach, said the Raiders will exhaust the playbook, lay their bodies on the line and leave nothing in reserve. “It’ll be high, high intensity, a lot more physical, and we’ll see what we’ve got,” he said. GAME ON … V.I. and Okie play Sunday at 1 p.m. at the Apple Bowl … For an expanded preview, please visit www. nanaimobulletin.com. DIGITAL SOUND Oct. 17 - 23

M’s take court against U.S. squad The VIU Mariners will get to play a different brand of basketball this week. Vancouver Isand University’s men’s b-ball team hosts Utah’s Westminster College for games this Friday (Oct. 17) and Saturday. Matt Kuzminski, VIU coach, said Westminster is a strong team in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics and will be another good pre-season test for his Mariners.
“We want to see strides in the things we’ve emphasized. It’s not necessarily strides as far as winning,” he said. “Obviously we really want to win but we’ve purposely scheduled a very tough exhibition schedule with all nonconference teams.” Back-to-back games will show the coach some things about his players’ abilities to learn on the fly. “I’m sure there’ll be things that we see during Friday
night and after that we have to adjust to,” Kuzminski said. “And on the other side, too, we’ll have to respond to the adjustments they make.” GAME ON … Friday’s game is at 7 p.m. at the university gym and Saturday’s rematch is at 12:30 p.m. Admission is $5 or free to VIU students … The Mariners women’s basketball team is also in action this Friday, taking on a VIU alumni team at 5 p.m. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Rules: 1) For the series of NFL games listed above, simply circle the teams you think will win. 2) Should we have a tie for the most games won, we will use Monday night’s game as a tie breaker. Look over all the football numbers published in the ads accompanying this contest. Select the one you think will be the CLOSEST to the DIFFERENCE IN THE SCORE of the game and write THE ADVERTISER NAME containing the score and the number itself on the line in the entry coupon. 3) The person picking the most games correct each week wins $100. If there is no clear winner after the tiebreaker game, the money will be split. 4) Contest is open to everyone except employees of The Nanaimo News Bulletin. Entries are limited to two per household per week (one per person).
