BLACK FRIDAY signals start of shopping season. BY CHRIS BUSH THE NEWS BULLETIN
A
n American shopping tradition that has spread north of the border will have Canadian shoppers stampeding toward sales items. Black Friday (Nov. 28) happens the Friday after the U.S. Thanksgiving – the last Thursday of November – and kicks off the Christmas shopping season for major U.S. and
Canadian retailers. The term Black Friday originated in Philadelphia as a metaphor for unusually heavy foot and vehicle traffic in the city the Friday after Thanksgiving. By the 1960s, Black Friday became the day that kicked off the profitable Christmas shopping season when retailers operated in the black after losing money or ‘operating in the red’ the rest of the year. “It’s representing, basically, the biggest period of the year,” said Stephan Pilon, general manager of the Nanaimo Canadian Tire store. “It used to be

Boxing Day, but now it’s not. It’s basically Black Friday.” Canadian Tire was among the first Canadian retail chains to start Black Friday sales. Pilon said customers line up at the doors to snatch up heavily discounted items. Future Shop claims bragging rights as Canada’s first retailer to get big into Black Friday, according to Elliott Chun, company spokesman, who said it’s now Future Shop’s second busiest day of the year. The company’s 136 Canadian stores extend the sale over the weekend into
Cyber Monday, which also originated in the U.S., for online sales. Boxing Day and the week following remain the company’s busiest days for traffic and sales. “We were actually the first national retailer, as Future Shop, to offer a Black Friday sale back in 2009,” Chun said. “We experimented with it just because we knew people were aware of it and with most of our population living so close to the border we wanted to be a part of that phenomenon in the States and see if there was any stickiness in Canada.”

Nanaimo Mayor John Ruttan said he is pleased to see the company’s expansion, pointing out that it’s proven to be a good corporate citizen and a valuable and supportive commercial enterprise. “We did have continued reports that Tilray had met or was exceeding the projections they had established when they first opened in Nanaimo,” Ruttan said.

Lantzville bylaw reduces council by two seats
George Anderson, outgoing city councillor, is followed by incoming councillor Jerry Hong and members of Slowspokes cycling club and Greater Nanaimo Cycling Coalition as his front tire splits a ribbon to officially open Phase 1 of the Harewood Bikeway Wednesday. The bike lane, between Fifth and Seventh streets, will become part of a system of lanes and trails. The event also celebrated work to expand Nanaimo’s cycling trail network and the adoption of the new Transportation Master Plan.

Two political seats will be cut from the District of Lantzville in the next civic election. Lantzville councillors adopted a new bylaw Monday to reduce the size of council. The move comes on the heels of referendum results, which show 58.8 per cent of voters are in favour of scaling back political representation from a mayor and six councillors, to a mayor and four. Coun. Jennifer Millbank sees the adoption as a “huge step forward.” The councillor first proposed a motion to downsize last February, pointing out that while the municipality is the size of a town that requires only five representatives, its geographic area and designation as a district mandates it to elect seven. As a result, the district – a population of 3,601 – has the same representation as an urban centre of 50,000. According to Millbank, a smaller council will create an estimated cost savings of $25,000 a year and force councillors to have broader community support because they’ll need more votes to get a seat. “Lantzville has in the past – and I think it continues in this election – been marked by a certain amount of divisiveness and I think that this is probably going to help because people are going to have to look at building bridges and building connections across the broader community instead of just relying on one set of interests in order to get a position,” she said. Coun. Brian Dempsey opposed the bylaw, saying that he feels it reduces the ability for people to get better representation. He also doesn’t know of any committee council forms where it tries to get fewer numbers. “Council is a committee and to reduce council to five from seven I think is a mistake and I’ll stand by that,” he said. The changes will come into effect for the 2018 civic election.

Nanaimo city Coun. Diane Brennan is feeling “vindicated” and “happy” after a review by Elections B.C. found she did not intentionally violate rules with her use of social media on election day. Elections B.C. will take no further action over a complaint against Brennan and her social media posts on general election day. In a letter, the election authority says it’s satisfied Brennan did not act with intent to violate the rules and that her campaign came into compliance with the legislation when informed of complaints. Elections B.C. began a review into a complaint last week, which said Brennan posted to Twitter and Facebook on Nov. 15 despite rules against election advertising. Under the Local Elections Campaign Financing Act, which came into effect at the end of May, political hopefuls cannot use social media, Facebook and YouTube on general election day. Dominic Jones, who made the complaint, said he believes Brennan would have failed to secure sufficient votes to be elected if not for the use of elec-

tion advertising, which he claimed was deliberate. But Brennan said she did not know she couldn’t use social media and removed posts once informed. The city councillor now says she feels vindicated with Elections B.C. confirming it is satisfied she complied and she had no intention to break the law. “I think Mr. Jones is just part of a group of people that are very unhappy that I was elected and they’ve seized upon this as a method of trying to ... defeat me,” Brennan said. “But I was elected by 6,500 voters and I intend to stay in my seat and get on with it.” Jones told the News Bulletin he’s concerned Elections B.C. did not investigate and he is now asking provincial MLAs to intervene. “I still am hoping that someone in the legislature will read the complaint and see that there is merit in there being an investigation. Whatever the results of that investigation are I am quite happy to live with,” he said. “But to just fob it off as they are not going to do any investigation, I think that’s just not serving democracy and that’s their primary mandate.”

The Nanaimo Airport is eyeing approximately $7 million from the federal and provincial governments for an expansion project at the Cassidy site. A total of $11 million will be needed for expansion of the terminal building. The airport will be applying to the New Building Canada fund for $7 million, or twothirds of the total amount, and the rest will come from the airport, said Mike Hooper, Nanaimo Airport president and CEO. T h e p ro j e c t , i f a p p ro v e d , w o u l d allow the airport to better service peak times, including the busy summer season. The airport has been hitting record numit’s just an bers for five consecuongoing tive years, Hooper said. process “We’d expand the terminal building meeting and at some point, that growing we need to put a customs facility in,” said demand. Hooper. “All airports, whether you’re in YVR (Vancouver) or Victoria or Comox or Nanaimo, there’s always going to be some sort of project ... it’s just an ongoing process meeting that growing demand.” The New Building Canada fund was launched by the federal government, but Hooper said applications will have to be made to governments on the federal and provincial level. “It’s the provincial government that’s managing it on behalf of the federal government and it’s all for infrastructure, transportation and bridges and airports and ports,” said Hooper. The Regional District of Nanaimo board of directors approved a motion at its regular board meeting Tuesday night to provide a letter of support to the Nanaimo Airport in the bid. Hooper said the airport should know if it’s a successful New Building Canada funding applicant by mid-2015.

The city has issued an order to have a house at 215 Newcastle ave. torn down by its owner within 60 days. The heritage house, built in 1900 and once owned by former Nanaimo mayor Victor Harrison, has been twice damaged by fires and has deteriorated over the past 20 years.
van Road that partially collapsed in March will likely be torn down in the first week of December. Chris Sholberg, city culture and heritage planner, said the Newcastle Avenue house is listed among Nanaimo’s heritage buildings and was built around 1900 by Nanaimo carpenter Hiram Woodward. It was purchased by Harrison in the 1930s and it has been in the family since. Harrison, who served as mayor of Nanaimo from 19251926 and 1938-1944, was also one of the prosecutors who succeeded in bringing Brother XII to trial. He also worked for the preservation of the Nanaimo Bastion and created Petroglyph Provincial Park in south Nanaimo. “It’d be lovely if it had been maintained all these years and be there for future genera-

tions, but unfortunately that’s not the story,” Sholberg said. Churchill said Wilson has 60 days to demolish the house. If she doesn’t, the city will – a process involving permits, environmental assessments and inspections that will take until about March before work can start – and if costs of demolition and disposal are not paid by Wilson then the city can sell the property in a tax sale to recover its costs. But it seems unlikely a prime waterfront property will be abandoned to a tax sale. “It is one of the nicest pieces of property, central to downtown, that we have,” Churchill said. “I would definitely say, yes, the property has value and would be of interest should they choose to sell. Everyone would want this piece of property.”

A house at 215 Newcastle Ave., once owned by former Nanaimo mayor Victor Harrison, is on a list of derelict properties the city has ordered demolished. The approval to issue a demolition order came during Monday’s council meeting. The house is currently owned by Elouise Wilson, a relative of Harrison’s who lived on the property until fire severely damaged its interior in September 2011 and April 2013. Both fires were related to a wood stove that was used to heat a portion of the home. The city also deemed the property unsightly and ordered it cleaned up in March 2004. Randy Churchill, city bylaws manager, said the house is among 15 properties the city has ordered owners to repair or demolish. “It was identified, through a community process of identifying properties within the city that were in such dilapidated or poor condition, that it was really anchoring negative behaviour and problems to that neighbourhood,” Churchill said. Several of those buildings reached their states of dilapidation because of fire damage. The city now monitors firedamaged structures to ensure they are either repaired or demolished, including a house on Gillespie Street which could be demolished in the new year. A house on Este-

The company submitted its rezoning and development proposal to the city a year ago to build its new store at 867 Bruce Ave., which has been the home of a Salvation Army Thrift Store, a Christmas food hamper warehouse and a Mid-Island Co-op grocery store. Plans call for the existing 2,000-square-metre building to be torn down to make way for the new complex. City council approved the rezoning Monday, but Rob MacKay, Quality Foods marketing director, said the company has yet to set a start date for construction. “It’s just a baby step in the process,” MacKay said. “Now they have to go through all the development permits and those can take extended periods of time too, so we’re just simply not

even going to peg a date at this point. We’re just going to kind of get through all these stages before we make any decisions on when we’re going to line up construction crews and all that good stuff.” The site will ultimately serve as an urban commercial node. The development proposal
includes a 4,734-square-metre main building combining the store’s main retail floor and mezzanine, plus two outlying commercial retail units. An artist’s rendition shows the main building will have styling similar to the company’s Qualicum store. City staff recommended as
a condition of rezoning that a four-metre-wide right of way be secured through the site for a hard surface urban pedestrian and cycling trail, which will likely become part of the Harewood Bikeway trail system, a portion of which includes a cycling lane opened between Seventh and Fifth streets Wednesday. “It’ll be top notch, in line with all of our newer developments,” MacKay said. “Our Bowen Road store was an existing store. We took over the Cost Cutter that was in – it was Harewood Mall at the time – and that was just a real quick takeover, so it’s going to be nice to build from scratch and do it well here.” MacKay could not say what the company’s plans are for its store in nearby University Village Shopping Centre once the Bruce Avenue store is completed.

Nanaimo’s iconic bastion is one of the best 100 buildings in b.C., according to b.C.’s best buildings Contest. The historic structure placed third in the Vancouver island region. b.C.’s best buildings Contest was hosted by the Architectural Foundation of b.C. to mark 100 years of architecture as a profession in the province. The bastion will receive a commemorative plaque to mark this honour. The bastion ranked third on Vancouver island after the empress hotel and Parliament buildings in Victoria. The judges noted that the bastion is a relic of Nanaimo’s early hudson’s bay Company history that remains significant to regional history and a source of pride for Nanaimo residents. More than 450 entries were evaluated by a panel of judges and the public was invited to vote online for their #32 favourite buildings. The judges assessed the #32 top 25 nominations for appearance, sentimental value, historical #32 significance and originality. The bastion is operated by the Nanaimo Museum and owned by the City of Nanaimo.

EDITORIAL
Voting offence not impactful Candidates should be seeking votes on election day – they shouldn’t be trying for retweets and Facebook friends. That said, though Nanaimo city councillor Diane Brennan made a social media misstep, calls for her to step down were overdramatic. We think Elections B.C. was right to withhold sanctions. On Nov. 15, Brennan posted to Twitter a photo of her charitable work with the hashtag #nanelxn14, and also an image of a vote poster, clearly trying to compel people to think of her at the polls that day. She claimed she wasn’t aware of the new Local Elections Campaign Financing Act rules, and once notified, she complied and deleted the tweets. Ignorance of the rules isn’t an excuse, and before tweeting she should have had her twits about her, but this was a minor transgression. Realistically, a Nanaimo city councillor has a modest social media sphere. A handful of retweets seen by a small percentage of people who may or may not be swayed by the message isn’t going to have a major impact at the polls. Social media isn’t yet a kingmaker or queenmaker in a city the size of Nanaimo, but we do think it has potential to be an influential tool in future elections. It’s a way to even the playing field against rivals with higher campaign budgets. It’s an opportunity for politicians to control their message and image without the news media’s filter. It’s a chance for candidates to engage with a low-voter-turnout age demographic. Brennan’s blunder brought attention to the elections act fine print and next time around, council candidates in Nanaimo who break the rules will have a more difficult time pleading ignorance. With more and more of the city’s electorate online, we will always have, on voting day, enough retweeters paying attention and policing cyberspace. We’ll have a pretty good idea of which politicians are ignoring the elections act, and we can decide, then, if we want to unfriend them.

principle of this overhaul is to keep that government revenue coming. The new BCGEU president, Stephanie Smith, insists she’s gung-ho to compete head to head with private interlopers and get back some lost market share, particularly on the highvolume cold beer sales. The union has another ace in the hole. Its current contract stipulates that LDB can’t close stores. In some small towns there are government stores that lose money, particularly since they’ve had more private competition. But at least for the duration of this BCGEU contract, the government retail arm will continue to operate in some places as a perverse social program, subsidizing retail clerk jobs that pay nearly twice what private retail pays. The LDB says this new simplified system is “not intended to impact consumer pricing.” Note the careful choice of words. Oh, one last thing. There is another new tax in the works. It will be applied to higher-alcohol beverages, in an effort to reduce adverse health effects. u Tom Fletcher is a columnist and legislative reporter for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Action needed in Middle East To the Editor,
Re: Dropping bombs won’t bring about peace, Letters, Nov. 20. Given the scale of sectarian violence in the Middle East, I’m sure it will take more than dropping bombs to bring about peace over there. But as for “why Canada is going to war without Parliament’s debate and approval,” I’d say that’s because we have a government that recognizes when action is necessary. I think there is unanimous agreement among democratic countries that the medieval ISIS must be stopped, preferably in Iraq and Syria. And when people are just looking for any excuse to denigrate Prime Minister Stephen Harper or the government, I’m a bit surprised that they would pick this particular subject.

Tar sands, Ebola share similarities To the Editor,
As in every battle, our war with deadly killers such as the tar sands and Ebola is perfect breeding ground for profiteering and corruption stemming from hyena-type gluttony. Although the tar sands and the Ebola outbreak source are half a world away from each other, the impact they have on humanity share many similarities. The first and primary similarity being, they would not be happening today if it were not for the unscrupulous, the shameless, and the downright inhumane nature of certain government-level individuals. Second, the secrets that were kept from the public exacerbated the destructive element of these horrors to the brink of global disaster, of which we are still under threat. Third, the onus is on everyone to be aware of the goings on in a world where one day everything appears fine and the next, you can die from Ebola or the fallout from tar sands exploitation – no matter where you live on this planet. So, I challenge all the ostriches to pull their head out of it, because this is the kind of politics indifference and apathy get you.

Shovelling snow is an onerous task for some Nanaimo residents, says letter writer.
City should shovel its own property To the Editor,
Re: Residents reminded to clear snow from sidewalks, Nov. 20. Someone is going to have to explain to me in clear language why I should be responsible to shovel several yards of city property. During the warmer months of the year, should I decide to use the sidewalk in front of my house for my own purposes – say an ice cream stand, greenhouse or patio – I would be told in no uncertain terms that I had no right to use this property, belonging as it does to the City of Nanaimo. However, let one flake of snow drop
and suddenly the whole area is my responsibility. Now, I am a pensioner with a bad back. When the snow flies I may choose to stay home and wait a few days until the snow clears itself. If I don’t choose to shovel my driveway then why should I shovel someone else’s property? What about young working parents? Surely the effort required before work to clear a driveway to get the car out to get to work, school or daycare is enough. Should they really be expected to clear public property too?

This Monday (Dec. 1) the newly elected mayor and council will be sworn into office. The peaceful transition of government is one of the most inspiring and important components of democracy. Given the degradation of democratic principles by the outgoing mayor and council, it will be a challenge to restore public confidence. Immediate reforms to restore such confidence in council include the following resolution: “Unless required by law, Nanaimo city council shall direct that all ‘confidential’, ‘secret’, or ‘in-camera’ communications of all
types shall be made public and posted online as soon as they are no longer needed solely to protect the interests of the citizens of Nanaimo.” Further, a resolution stating: “It is the policy of Nanaimo city council to provide open, accessible governance and any policy that unduly prevents that is hereby rescinded. No unreasonable restrictions on public questions in open, public council meetings shall be permitted.” This is a good start. More to follow. Now let’s get on with the core reviews of all city functions, programs, processes, and facilities.

Backyard burning a health hazard To the Editor,
B.C. doesn’t allow coal-fired generating stations. We are required to spend billions of dollars on pollution reduction equipment on the cars we buy. Most people don’t want an incinerator in their neighbourhood. Cigarette smoking is regulated to stop people being affected by other people’s smoke. Yet Nanaimo still allows backyard burning of garden waste. This produces some of the smokiest fires imaginable which envelopes entire neighbourhoods. Garden waste should be composted – either onsite or offsite. Burn-
ing creates large amounts of pollution and threatens the health of the burners and their neighbours. Just because some property owners have disproportionately large lots should not entitle them to destroy the environment for the rest of us. What incentive is there to encourage densification, and reduce urban sprawl, if you reward large property owners with burning rights? This is not the 19th century in the wilderness. Let’s stop this arcane practice so everybody can breathe easier.

Fewer than anticipated taking HIV test BY TAmARA CunnInGhAm The News BulleTiN
A first-of-its-kind initiative to dispense free HIV tests in pharmacies is seeing low uptake in the Harbour City. A new access point for HIV testing in Nanaimo – among the first in Canada – has seen lower-thanexpected uptake in the first three months of the trial program, according to Island Health. The Nanaimo Medicine Shoppe in Terminal Park mall became the third pharmacy in B.C. to offer rapid, free HIV tests last August as part of a greater effort to make HIV testing more routine. The goal was to see 50 people tested monthly or a total of 600 by the end of the year, but early numbers show 34 in total between August and October. So far this month, five tests have been administered by the pharmacy. Sophie Bannar-Martin, Stop HIV/AIDS program coordinator with Island Health, said this is the first time the program, a collaboration with Vancouver Coastal Health and the Medicine Shoppe, has been delivered in Canada and they didn’t really know what to expect until it
rolled out. Since the pilot began in Nanaimo last August, Island Health has seen uptake drop from 22 to four in September and eight in October. Vancouver also saw a decrease from just over 50 tests for each of two sites in the first month to between 20 and 25. Bannar-Martin said Island Health doesn’t know why it isn’t seeing higher test numbers, but three months isn’t long enough to make any blanket statements about the effectiveness of the strategy. “We’ll see ultimately what happens closer to the year mark,” she said. Test results take fewer than five minutes to deliver and anyone with non-negative results are referred to a local medical clinic to confirm the diagnosis. To date, there have been no positive test results, according to Island Health. Nanaimo Medicine Shoppe pharmacist Elijah Ssemaluulu said he plans to do more promotion and clinics in December. “There’s nothing wrong in testing,” Ssemaluulu said. “It improves your life expectancy and it helps you plan your life as well.” news@nanaimobulletin.com

Zonta club raising voice against gender violence

LOCAL CHAPTER observes 16 days of worldwide activism. BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN
Nanaimo’s Zonta Club members will stand up to violence against women by raising their voice. Zonta’s local branch is one of 1,200 around the world participating in the Zonta Says No to Violence Against Women campaign which started Tuesday and continues until Dec. 10. That time frame, pointed out Marg Fraser, Zonta Club of Nanaimo president, encompasses Dec. 6, which will mark 25 years since the École Polytechnique massacre. “How do we end it before it gets that far?” Fraser asked. “That’s the extreme and we hopefully won’t see that again in our lifetime, but there is violence that goes on every day.” Her club has partnered with the Nanaimo Clippers junior A hockey team, and Zonta members will be at the Clippers’ home game against the Merritt Centennials at Frank Crane Arena on Dec. 5, handing out orange bracelets and pins and drawing attention to the issue. During the Zonta Says No campaign, each local club is asked to raise awareness of gender violence and remind people that it’s not only a women’s issue, but a community issue. “So that’s why we partnered with the hockey team,

Nanaimo man fined for buying gall bladders
I
faN liu ordered to pay $15,000 for purchasing bear parts illegally from an undercover officer. By Karl yu The News BulleTiN
Fines totalling $15,000 have been levied against a Nanaimo man after he bought illegal bear gall bladders during an undercover operation. According to John Blackman, Crown counsel, Fan Liu violated the B.C. Wildlife Act, pleading guilty to three counts of trafficking in bear parts. The first incident occurred Dec. 12 last year, followed by incidents on Feb. 18 and March 18. Liu was ordered to pay a $2,500 fine for the first count and $5,000 and $7,500 fines on the other two counts, said Blackman. The total of $15,000 must be paid before Nov. 21, 2015, to the court in Nanaimo and all money will go to the non-profit Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation for fish and wildlife conservation projects on Vancouver Island, he said. Blackman said Liu bought the gall bladders from an undercover conser-
vation officer, who approached Liu after receiving a tip. Liu was aware what he was doing was illegal, Blackman said. There were also violations related to bear paws, but Blackman said in the end, those charges were stayed because of Liu’s willingness to plead guilty to the gall bladder counts. Blackman said there was nothing to indicate that Liu sold or passed the bear parts to others. “During the course of the three transactions, [Liu] had paid $1,320 to the undercover agent for these items and we got an order that that money is forfeited (to the provincial Crown), so he lost that money,” said Blackman. Blackman said it was a fair resolution and the Crown has no concerns that Liu might violate the wildlife act again. The hope is the severity of the penalty will deter others from committing the same acts, he said. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Newcastle Womens’ Institute
Newcastle Womens’ Institute is seeking donations for our silent auction on Dec 2, 2014, located at ABC Restaurant in Days Inn South Nanaimo. We support local charities such as Salvation Army, Loaves & Fishes, and Jesses Gift. Bottle donations can be made at Kenworth Rd Bottle Depot under the name of Newcastle Womens’ Institute. 100% of all donations go to charities and will be greatly appreciated. For information call: Gloria at 250-758-7717 or email: gridgway@shaw.ca
Food bank puts donation toward new warehouse Loaves and Fishes Community Food Bank has just been handed its largest single donation toward a new warehouse. A food bank volunteer, who’s asked Loaves and Fishes to remain anonymous, has contributed $25,000 toward the purchase of a new warehouse. “We were pretty floored by that,” said Peter Sinclair, executive director of the food bank. The organization is trying to raise $550,000 by the end of December to buy a warehouse on Fry Street that’s more than 10 times the
size of its current facility. According to Loaves and Fishes, its 500-square foot storeroom on Farquhar Street doesn’t have enough space to accommodate both food donations and the volunteers who sort and distribute them. The food bank has raised $40,000 in community donations so far and is currently seeking financial assistance from the City of Nanaimo. To donate to the campaign, or for more information, please visit the Loaves and Fishes website at www.feednanaimo.com.

Professors discuss post-war identity

Lions Club donates to Lifeline
I
SeRvICe HeLpS elderly remain in homes longer.
The Nanaimo Lions’ Club contributed a $1,000 gift to Nanaimo Lifeline. Lifeline provides “peace of mind” for medically atrisk clients and their families through its Personal Emergency Response Service. Users push their “per-
sonal help button” and a Nanaimo-based Lifeline representative will communicate with the client to determine what level of assistance is required, and that help will be sent. The Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation, which owns and operates Nanaimo Lifeline, established the Silent Guardian Fund to help those with fewer resources afford the minimal
monthly fee. The average age of a Nanaimo Lifeline client is 71 years and 77 per cent are women – a $400 donation can support a Lifeline client for an entire year. Nanaimo Lions have supported the foundation for more than two decades and given almost $25,000 for equipment and services throughout the hospital, as well as to the Silent Guardian Fund.
The resurgence of culture and identity in the city of Wroclaw, Poland in the years following the Second World War will be examined in Friday’s (Nov. 28) Arts and Humanities Colloquium Series presentation at Vancouver Island University, beginning at 10 a.m. at Malaspina Theatre. VIU professors Justin McGrail and Terri Doughty continue the series’ fall theme of war and its consequences. McGrail, a professor in art and design, and Doughty, an English professor, will
examine how war is about population movements, changing cultures, shifting identities and remaking communities. “Borders and transgressions of borders have defined Wroclaw’s identity,” said Doughty. “Beginning in the 14th century, Wroclaw was ruled in succession by Bohemians, Austrians, and Prussians.” In their talk, she and McGrail will explore the artistic recovery of Poland’s multi-ethnic history, with a focus on the architecture, sculpture and fiction.

Beefs & bouquets BOUQUET To Rob at Van’s Garage on Townsite Road, who just happened to be at the shop on a Saturday when I needed to have my headlight replaced. Not only did he replace it for me, he refused to accept any payment for it. BEEF To my neighbour, and also to ‘close door’ buttons in elevators. They don’t work. BOUQUET To Joel, the nurse, and the two other men who helped my husband when he fell off the sidewalk outside the Caledonia Clinic on Wallace Street. It’s nice to see so many people jump to help others without even being asked. BEEF To those who didn’t vote because they couldn’t be bothered. BOUQUET To the Nanaimo Concert Band for the beautiful tribute it performed at its fall concert for the two Canadian soldiers and three Mounties who died tragically recently. It was very moving. BEEF To the man who said we could adopt two puppies, sending us pictures and stories, refusing down payment and saying over and over they were ours. Then, after telling the kids, you change your mind to keep them. BOUQUET To Tara at Western Insurance for staying late on a Saturday to finish putting insurance on the Mazda we had just purchased.

Rivalries intensifying for Clippers I
HOCKEY TEAM plays Victoria, Alberni Valley. BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
The Nanaimo Clippers came out and set a standard in the Island Division this season, but opponents are starting to catch up. The Clippers continue a key stretch of the schedule this week with a home game versus the Victoria Grizzlies on Friday (Nov. 28) and then a road game against the Alberni Valley Bulldogs the next night. It will be the third meeting against both of those teams over a 15-day stretch. Even though it’s only November, all these divisional games represent an important segment of the B.C. Hockey League schedule, say players. “Those are definitely huge games,” said Brendan Taylor, Clippers captain. “With us wanting to win our division, we can’t give up points to those divisional teams like we’ve done the last little while. “These are the biggest stretch of games that we’ve had so far this season, so we’re looking forward to playing those two teams.” No matter what time of year, the Clippers watch the standings and care about their positioning. “These teams that are in our division, they’re pretty close [behind] us and they’re always trying to catch up,” said

Nanaimo Clippers forward Jake Jackson looks to make a play in the offensive zone during a game against the Victoria Grizzlies last week at Frank Crane Arena. The Clippers play the Grizz again on Friday (Nov. 28).
Jacob Hanlon, Clippers forward. “So it’s real important that we try to keep the lead in the division or make it even bigger.” Friday’s game against the Grizz could be closely contested. Both meetings with Victoria last week were onegoal games that were decided late in the third period, with Vic sweeping the set by 5-4 and 3-2 scores. “We’ve got to put those two games behind us, but also learn from them, have some fire built up and just come out harder than we did

other way. “We’ve just got to rebound,” he said. “We’ve got to stick with our systems and let fewer goals in [and] the offence will come.” The game against Alberni will be another addition to a feisty season series.

The Woodlands Eagles senior girls are also staying on the Island for provincials, as their tournament gets served up today at Brentwood College in Victoria. The Eagles begin with a match against St. Thomas More. Boys’ provincials got underway yesterday after press time at the Langley Events Centre.

Something’s got to give this weekend in the AA varsity football semifinals when the defending champs play the topranked team. The John Barsby Bulldogs face the Vernon Panthers on Saturday (Nov. 29) in Vancouver, with one team advancing to the Subway Bowl provincial championship. Barsby coach Rob Stevenson said Vernon is “easily the No. 1 team in B.C. right now” after a blowout win of Abbotsford in the quarterfinals. “[The Panthers have] been winning by 30 points against e v e r y b o d y. T h e y haven’t been challenged once this year, not even remotely,” Stevenson said. “They haven’t been in a tight game and I wonder how they’ll respond to it if it does turn out to be that. Hopefully we put them in that situation.” Barsby advanced to the semis in a squeaker win over Seaquam and Stevenson said his guys are a scrappy bunch that knows what it takes to win playoff football games. The semis should be another good scrap. The Bulldogs coach is expecting a physical contest with the “nasty” Panthers. “Some teams hit because they’ve got

to hit, these kids relish it. They like the rough stuff,” he said. “But it’s not just a bunch of brawlers, t h e y ’ re p o l i s h e d brawlers.” The ’Dawgs will stick to their game plan and try to pound the football. “Just get more of our guys on their guys and run all over them, that’s our deal…” said Cole Virtanen, Bulldogs back. “We know who they are, we know what we’ve got to do. Practice has been good this week and we’ll rally together and get this win.”
Ve r n o n c o a c h Sean Smith said he’s impressed with his players’ ability to focus and follow the game plan. His Panthers are becoming regulars in the provincial semifinals and are looking for a breakthrough. “I think we’ve got a legitimate shot this time,” said Smith. “Barsby is the defending provincial champion and have, who I believe, is the best coach in AA football. We’re going to have our work cut out for us this week, but I think we’re up for the challenge.”
On semifinal Saturday this week, it’s going to be a battle to get to the big bowl game. “Whoever wins will win legit, and whoever loses will have given their full measure,” Stevenson said. GAME ON … The Bulldogs and Panthers kick off Saturday at 1 p.m. at the University of British Columbia’s Thunderbird Stadium. John Barsby Secondar y School will be sending a fan bus over on the ferry; for information, please stop by the school office.

VIU b-ball to take on Balloholics
‘Weird’ season tests Mariners
The regular season has reached the holiday break, but basketball isn’t finished quite yet. The Vancouver Island University Mariners close out 2014 with an exhibition game this Saturday (Nov. 29) against the Vancouver Balloholics of the American Basketball Association. Matt Kuzminski, coach of the VIU men, said the visitors are made up of graduated or retired players from the CIS, CCAA and NCAA and will be a tough test for his PacWest squad. “They’ve beat CIS teams and a lot of good teams in our league,” Kuzminski said. “It’ll be a super challenging game for us, but we’re looking forward to the competition and it will be some good basketball for Nanaimo to see, I think.” GAME ON … The Mariners and Balloholics tip off at 5 p.m. at the Vancouver Island University gymnasium.

Most years, being .500 at the break would be unheard of for the VIU Mariners women’s volleyball team. This year, that sort of standing would represent a small victory for the M’s. Vancouver Island University’s women’s v-ball team has had a tough go of things this fall, with player turnover, injuries, and sanctions for using an ineligible player. “It was like, OK, what else is coming now? What other weird things?” asked Shane Hyde, the team’s coach. “Those are all past us now and it’s just a matter of kind of working through it.” He said his players have shown patience and belief and seem to be rounding the corner after sweeping two matches against the Douglas Royals last weekend at the VIU gym. The M’s won 25-17, 25-9, 27-25 on Friday and then 25-19, 25-14, 25-19 on Saturday. Megan Rosenlund was strong offensively and defensively, Victoria Hocking played well against her former team and Ashley Van Acken, back from injury, solidified the blocking in the middle. “Our systems are all starting to come around,” Hyde said. “The girls are starting to buy into it and understand it and our confidence levels are up.” GAME ON … The Mariners women’s and men’s volleyball teams travel to play the Columbia Bible College Bearcats on Friday (Nov. 28) and Saturday.

CELEBRATING 20 YEARS
(250)758-3003 • www.calaisspas-billiards.com 4000 CORUNNA AVE, NANAIMO
Heart and soul remain strong for choir Island Soul Choir sings Sunday (Nov. 30) at Port Theatre By Nicholas Pescod The News BulleTiN
I
t began merely as an idea and it had its fair share of doubters, but for the last seven years the Island Soul Choir has found a way to keep the soul alive. “This all started out of a workshop being held on the Island for gospel music,” said Penny Mitchell, president of the Island Soul Choir. On Sunday (Nov. 30) the Island Soul Choir will be performing at the Port Theatre, the same venue that hosted its very first performance exactly seven years ago. The concert, titled A Better Way, will feature new music and the choir is encouraging audience members to be loud. “We don’t expect our audiences to be polite and sit there quietly and admire,” Mitchell said. “We expect them to participate as well. To sing along, clap, dance, whatever the music is calling them to do. If they want to sing and shout out then that that’s fine because that’s typical in gospel music to do and we encourage it.” The Island Soul Choir will be joined by the Duncan-based Freedom Gospel Choir for the performance. Mitchell believes that the Duncan choir will fit in perfectly alongside the Island Soul Choir. “The fact that they are a gospel choir really drew us to them,” Mitchell said. “We thought it would be a really great opportunity for them to be spotlighted.”
The Island Soul Choir was formed in August of 2007 by Ron Klusmeier and Brian Tate and was originally called the Vancouver Island Gospel and World Music Choir. According to Mitchell, while the choir had supporters right from the start, it also had a number of people who doubted the choir could achieve any kind of success. “It was thought that it would be impossible and that it wouldn’t work,” she said. “But we’ve been doing this for seven years and we keep getting new people.”
“
it was thought that it would be impossible and wouldn’t work.
In 2009, the choir underwent changes, including a new name. It also became an incorporated non-profit society and named Mitchell as president. Last May, Tate decided to step down from being director to become a drummer. Tate’s replacement is Vancouver-based musician Karla Mundy, who has been a member of the Island Soul Choir since 2012. “It’s a really exciting group to work with,” Mundy said. “They’re really responsive and really spirited and
really invested in the music.” The Island Soul Choir has also performed to crowds well beyond the shores of Vancouver Island. In 2012, roughly 50 members from the choir travelled to Havana, Cuba and performed with several choirs. “That really inspired and really pushed the choir to new heights,” Mundy said. “It was a performance and a study learning trip.” Mundy said there is an amazing choral culture in Cuba. “In Havana there is something like seven professional choirs in the city. I think there are about three professional choirs in all of Canada,” she said. “So it was a great opportunity because we got to work with some of the professional choirs there.” Today, the Island Soul Choir has roughly 130 members and has accepted some singers who have been rejected by other groups. “We’ve got a lot of people in the choir that have been told they couldn’t sing in the past. That they had no ear and couldn’t do it,” Mitchell said. “Yet now, some of them are our best soloists. It’s really fulfilling because we have been able to give people a venue to have their voice be heard.” The Island Soul Choir performs at the Port Theatre on Sunday (Nov. 30) at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $22.50.

Workshop intended for top dancers
KIRKWOOD ACADEMY production of Coppélia runs this Saturday at the Port Theatre.
A young couple falling in love and becoming curious about their mysterious inventor neighbour and his new doll is the basis for Kirkwood Academy’s latest production, Coppélia. The three-act ballet runs Saturday (Nov. 29) at the Port Theatre and features over 100 cast members of all ages. Carolé Martyn, principal of Kirkwood Academy and co-producer of Coppélia, said the production is perfect for the whole family. “It’s family entertainment,” Martyn said. “It’s funny. It’s got a Christmas flavor to it and it’s very charming and very appropriate for families and children.” Martyn said because Coppélia has a huge cast, there are plenty of dancing parts for the students at Kirkwood Academy. “It’s a big cast,” she said. “We want to give everybody a nice part and a fair amount of rehearsals. So we have worked really hard every weekend.” The production of Coppélia includes guest dancers Matthew Cluff, Graham McMonagle and Kirkwood students Emma Dewar, Raeanne Madge, and Jacqueline Walters. Coppélia was originally performed by the Paris Opera in 1870. The production, which is based on the writings of E.T. Hoffman, has since been preformed countless times around the world. For the students at Kirkwood Academy, the holiday season is an especially busy time. “[The students] have exams a week after the production,” Martyn said. Kirkwood Academy typically performs The Nutcracker

COMMUNITY CAROL FESTIVAL takes place at st. Andrew’s united Church on wednesday. By Nicholas Pescod The News BulleTiN
For nearly two decades choirs from across Nanaimo have come together in the spirit of Christmas. On Wednesday (Dec. 3) eight choirs will unite at St. Andrew’s United Church for the 19th annual Community Carol Festival. The festival sees the choirs singing a wide range of popular modern and medieval Christmas carols. “It’s an opportunity to have some of our community choirs in Nanaimo come together and provide Christmas music for the public,” said Linda Dier, the event’s MC. Participating in this year’s festival are the Malaspina Choir, A Capella Plus, Camerata Singers, Harbour City Singers,
Island Bel Canto Singers, Nanaimo Youth Choir, the Island Consort and the Sinclair Singers. “These are community choirs,” Dier said. “They will all be singing carols that they know, and maybe carols that they don’t know, but it will all be Christmas music.” The Community Carol Festival was founded 19 years ago by Marian Smith, who is the director of the Nanaimo Youth Choir and the Camerata Singers. “It’s an evening of wonderful familiar Christmas music that just kind of feels like the kick off to the Christmas season.” Dier explained that the festival includes participation from audience members. “Each choir comes

Lights, camera, action at L.A. auto show by Alexandra Straub
The 2014 Los Angeles International Auto Show debuted some brilliant vehicles that will (and won’t) be coming to the streets near you. Whether it’s an all-new sedan/coupe, a car that will take you from point A to B, or a vehicle that was designed for the virtual world, the Golden State’s auto show had all of the above and more. Here’s a look at what the North American manufacturers have been up to in the last while.

Cadillac ATS-V The long anticipated ‘V’ series of ATS sedan and coupe is just around the corner. When Cadillac’s ATS
hit the streets two years ago, it not only impressed the journalistic community, but buyers alike. It even earned the title of the 2013 North American Car of the Year, and rightfully so. Now the latest ATS comes with more potency, more performance, and a lot more of everything. The ATS-V will introduce classleading twin-turbocharged power and a comprehensive suite of design and performance systems when production begins in spring 2015. Under its carbon fibre hood – a standard feature on all ATS-V models – is a newly developed 3.6L, V6 with an impressive 455 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torque. The
The Chevrolet Colorado concept deserves to be built, says columnist. Ford Explorer The 2016 Ford Explorer was introduced at 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show to an excited crowd. With a
well-endowed engine can then be matched with either a six-speed manual or a paddle-shift eight-speed automatic transmission.

lb.-ft. of torque, an increase of 13 per cent and 11 per cent, respectively, and an all-new, range-topping Platinum series, this SUV keeps getting better. It improves on many different levels. For example, for the first time, a four-cylinder Explorer will be available with Ford’s intelligent four-wheel-drive system and will be able to tow up to 3,000 pounds (1,361 kgs.), outperforming the current Explorer equipped with 2.0-litre EcoBoost four-cylinder. Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision As a kid, I would envision myself as a cartoon/video game character. Maybe it’s because I often become so animated. Okay, bad joke, but it’s sometimes nice to see make-believe come to life. The Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept is a car that was designed for the virtual world. As cool as the Chev Chaparral concept is, I am not sure I’d really love to drive a car that I sit head first in – think of the Olympic sport – the skeleton! And mid-mounted laser, beamed-energy propulsion system might take some getting used to.
Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Concept I can’t count how many times I’ve encountered a concept and wished upon shooting stars for it to become a production vehicle. Well, perhaps, this one might come true. After all, a few components of the allnew midsized Colorado are coming to life. We just have to wait a little while for it. One of those magical parts is the 2.8L Duramax diesel, which is expected to be outfitted in the truck sometime in 2015 for the 2016 model year. That diesel packs an estimated 181 horsepower at 3,400 rpm and 369 lb-ft of torque at 2,000 rpm for your towing pleasure. The 2.8L Duramax diesel is part of a new, global family of turbo-diesel four-cylinder engines designed to deliver more-efficient capability. When looking at it, well, it’s not your ordinary truck. The Colorado ZR2 wears a concept green exterior colour, with orange accents and custom ZR2 identification. Not to mention a sizeable set of off-road ready tires; a set of off-road rubbers mounted on custom 18-inch aluminum wheels. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Cayenne goes back to the future
Become a BULLETIN CARRIER
by Zack Spencer
In 2003, Porsche shipped a number of its shiny, new Cayenne SUVs to drive the Sea to Sky highway here in B.C. The day started with a long explanation as to why the famed sports car maker was getting into the SUV game. History often repeats and here again in 2014, Porsche shipped roughly fifty new Cayenne S and SE hybrids to the same scenic highway. This time around there was no explanation as to why this second-generation model exists: the Cayenne currently accounts for roughly 50 per cent of all Porsche sales. Looks In an effort to make the new 2015 facelift look more masculine, the goal was to make the Cayenne look more planted and wider. To do this, the entire front end, including the front bumper, grille, headlights, and front fenders have a more polished look. Drive With pressure on automakers to improve fuel economy and lower their carbon footprint, this latest 2015 Cayenne receives two new S models. The base S used to be fitted with a V8 engine, now a smaller 3.6L V6 with two turbocharges helps to produce an extra 20hp but saves fuel. This is the same engine that is
used in the smaller Porsche Macan Turbo. Accelerating up through the mountains was a snap but the sound from the engine and interior vibration isn’t as smooth as the old V8. The second new drive system is the plug-in SE hybrid that can run on pure electric power up to 30kms before the supercharged 3.0L gasoline V6 kicks in. This model can run on the 95 horsepower electric motor alone, for greatest efficiency, or the electric motor can be used for additional punch. The combined output is 416hp. This is the very first plug-in hybrid in this class of SUV. Verdict The greatest challenge for the SE-Hybrid is the already practical and thrifty diesel Cayenne that delivers nearly as much torque and fantastic economy. Nothing can compete with pure electric driving for carbon reduction but it comes at a cost. More than 10 years have passed since the first Cayenne introduction and it is still the handling and performance mid-size champ. Now with more features, a sumptuous cabin and efficient power to spare. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca
The Porsche Cayenne accounts for half the automaker’s sales.

for many families at Christmas!
At Christmas time each year the community newspapers of Black Press organize and promote the PENNIES FOR PRESENTS CAMPAIGN, which raises money for charity. For the last 18 years the PENNIES FOR PRESENTS campaign has raised more than $160,000 (in Nanaimo alone!) in pennies, nickels, dimes and other change for various local community charities. Frank Legh was the founder and driving force behind the Pennies for Presents, and in honour of Frank’s memory we will be continuing this campaign, now called Coins for Kids.
