Bette Ainsworth, 86 and likely the world’s oldest dragon boat paddler, hops on her son’s Harley Davidson for a picture while trying on part of her team’s theme costume for this year’s dragon boat festival. Ainsworth, a member of Angels Abreast, has competed in every Nanaimo Dragonboat Festival since 2003.

Demons, which formed in 2013 and has gained a reputation as a team to keep an eye on. “We’re having fun, but we’re being competitive and we’re coming out hard,” Sigalet said. He credits Ainsworth

youngest steersperson in B.C. at one point because I was steering at 11 years old for both youth and adult teams and then I just kept going with it and now I coach.” The sport has grown extensively and become more competitive over the years. There are now about a dozen teams in Nanaimo alone and there’s a movement to get more community involved with the sport by bringing businesses and organizations on board through fundraising or trading, for example meeting space for paddling sessions, Sigalet said. Dragon boating’s oldest and youngest competitors will be at Maffeo Sutton Park with thousands of paddlers and spectators, plus all the vendors and live entertainment expected at Nanaimo’s major festivals, Friday through Sunday (July 10-12) at the Save-OnFoods Nanaimo Dragonboat Festival.

Smoke from forest fires in Sechelt and the B.C. Interior that has clouded views and coloured sunrises and sunsets since Saturday will be part of life for the foreseeable future. The smoke lifted overnight Tuesday, but B.C. Ministry of Environment is predicting high-altitude smoke will keep skies hazy for at least the next several days. Earle Plain, environment ministry air quality meteorologist, said conditions have improved significantly over most south Island communities. “At ground level, where people are exposed, those concentrations have come down pretty much from Port Alberni all the way down to Victoria,” Plain said. A persistent, high-pressure ridge over the B.C.’s South Coast that has contributed to record-breaking high temperatures will have to break down to allow strong winds to form and flush smoke from the region, but there is no guarantee of that happening any time soon. “There almost looks like there’s something in the works there for the weekend,” Plain said. “Right now we’re seeing some disturbances coming for the north coast and we might see that same kind of pattern slip in here over the weekend, which would be nice, but I guess that’s, like, five days away and you know what long range forecasts are like.” The recent air quality improvement came from marine air flowing in from the south that pushed its way up the Island. Plain said as long as that push continues and northeasterly outflow winds from the B.C. Interior don’t get stronger, the region should continue to experience good air near ground level. “But you’re still going to see that smoke up above,” Plain said. High-altitude smoke has helped keep daily high temperatures to more comfortable levels this week.

t 86, Bette Ainsworth might just be the world’s oldest dragon boater. Ainsworth is a four-time cancer survivor, going back to 1977 with a bout of skin cancer, two colon cancer occurrences and in 2006, breast cancer. She says the skin cancer doesn’t count. At an international breast cancer regatta at Sarasota, Fla., last year Ainsworth was the oldest paddler out of nine participating countries. “I think it finally got its message,” Ainsworth said. “It’s not going to get me so it may as well quit now.” Ainsworth started as a supporter for breast cancer survivor team Angels Abreast, but her motivation was the loss of her husband, not cancer. They had a power boat, which she couldn’t handle by herself after he died. She feared she might never get back on the water. Then she saw an ad for Angels Abreast. “So I went down and joined them and here I am,” Ainsworth said. She’s been competing since and 12 years ago she recruited an 11-yearold Greg Sigalet. Now 23 and one of B.C.’s youngest coaches, Sigalet guides co-ed team Angels and

Oil-soaked rags triggered a fire that destroyed one home, heavily damaged a second, caused extensive exterior damage to a third house, destroyed at least two vehicles and displaced 10 people on Nanaimo’s Southwood Drive June 28. Total damage, estimated at more than $1 million, was caused by rags used to soak up excess stain applied to a house at 1061 Southwood Dr., which were put in a garbage can to keep them from the homeowner’s two-year-old daughter, said Alan Millbank, Nanaimo Fire Rescue fire prevention officer. The rags ignited on the back patio. Wind and a 30-degree temperature drove the flames up the home’s rear exterior wall and burned into the attic. “I live right across the street and at 2 o’clock in the morning I was hosing my roof down because that wind was so terrible,” said Lee Masciarelli. Next door neighbour Brad Mazzocato is credited with saving the occupants when he spotted the fire, banged on doors and eventually broke into the burning home through a window to rouse the occupants in time to escape the blaze. The exterior fire had not triggered interior smoke alarms. Martin Drakeley, assistant fire

chief, said the first fire truck from Fire Station 4 arrived four minutes, 48 seconds after crews were dispatched, but the home was burning several minutes before the first 911 call was received and was fully ablaze when firefighters arrived. A fire hydrant with a broken valve meant firefighters could not immediately switch over to the city water supply. The crew used their truck’s onboard water and foam supply to protect the home at 1057 Southwood Dr., and reconnected to a second hydrant down the street as a firetruck from Fire Station 1 arrived to start battling a roof fire at 1065 Southwood Dr. Fire also ruptured natural gas lines in the first house “Then about 15 minutes into it, both of the fuel tanks split on the cars in front,” Drakely said, adding the first crew had to protect the house at 1057 Southwood Dr. as well as put out the fuel tanks. An aerial truck on Douglas Street attacked the fires from behind the homes. All fires were out by 7 a.m. Millbank said the person who put the oily rags in the garbage can was unaware of the potential danger. “Make sure you read the labels of all the products you use so you can dispose of them properly,” Millbank said. The fire hydrant valve failure is under investigation. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

Police warn of fines for dropping cigarette butts Nanaimo Mounties are enforcing bylaws to help prevent wildfires. Under the Provincial Wildfire Act it is prohibited to “drop, release or mishandle a burning substance.” People doing so can be fined $173. Even if the item is not lit, but dis-

posed of from a motor vehicle, violators can also be fined $81 for littering under the Provincial Motor Vehicle Act or $100 through a city littering bylaw. To make a report, please call the Nanaimo RCMP non-emergency line at 250-754-2345.

FirEFightErS SaW 13 blazes caused by smoking. By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN

Nanaimo firefighters have never seen wildfires spread so quickly. Over the weekend firefighters battled 13 blazes, all of which were caused by careless smoking. Monday afternoon Nanaimo Fire Rescue Chief Craig Richardson and Mayor Bill McKay made a plea to the public, especially smokers, to be extremely careful with anything that could spark a wildfire. Richardson said this is the worst fire season with the most rapidly spreading fires he has seen on the Island so far. “Some of the fire behaviour we’re seeing this year is extreme,” Richardson said. “We’ve never seen fires grow as rapidly as they are this year and we’re concerned they’ll spread to structures.” Richardson said such extreme fire conditions will likely continue until the end of the summer. “There’s no rain in the foreseeable forecast and no pre-

Crews from multiple fire departments were called in to knock down a bush fire north of Woodgrove Centre Friday. Winds drove the blaze to consume about half a hectare before firefighters got the upper hand.

cipitation predictions until late October and perhaps even until November,” Richardson said. A complete burning ban is in place and smokers must be extremely careful about butting out cigarettes. Only natural gas, propane and briquette barbecues are permitted on private residences. Propane camp fires and other open flame devices are strictly prohibited. In spite of a complete burning ban, firefighters had to put out six campfires over the weekend.

McKay recommends drivers carry fire extinguishers in their cars and smokers should carry a bottle half filled with water to drop cigarette butts in for later disposal. “The number one reason for fires right now are cigarettes,” McKay said. But even lawn movers can throw sparks, so caution is urged when using any outdoor garden, sport or farming equipment that could potentially start a fire given the extremely dry conditions.

City provides support The City of Nanaimo will pony up more than $63,000 for a study aimed at removing one more environmental barrier in the way of downtown re-development. Nanaimo politicians agreed to invest in a drinking water exemption study for the Terminal-Nicol corridor, the latest step in the Downtown Nanaimo Business Improvement Association’s revitalization project. It’s all part of a push started by the DNBIA three years ago to reinvigorate the stretch of highway along Terminal Avenue and Nicol Street. The $250,000 drinking water exemption study, if successful, could relax the most stringent contamination criteria. “[The city is] a big piece of the puzzle, but still only $60,000 of a quarter million,” said Darren Moss, chairman of the DNBIA’s planning, design and development committee. “Now we need to get the funds from the other property owners to get this underway.” The study and application to the B.C. government is expected to take eight months once money is in place to do the work.

Council postpones dam vote

politicaNS WaNt more time to gather information.

By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN

Council postponed its vote on Colliery dam remediation this week despite the city manager’s warning a decision was imperative. Nanaimo city council decided in a 5-4 vote against making a decision on the Colliery dams at the committee of the whole meeting Monday, allowing more time to collect and consider information. Coun. Gord Fuller also put councillors on notice of a motion to form a select committee for the structures and options for the middle dam. More than 80 people turned out to the city meeting, some sporting “I am one of 40” T-shirts and signs in reference to Mayor Bill McKay’s earlier comment that perhaps only 40 people are actively involved the Colliery dams issue. Council has lost its plea with

the Environmental Appeal Board for a stay on an order to fix the Colliery dams and now faces a July 24 deadline to choose a provincially approved remediation option and submit design and construction plans. City manager Ted Swabey said a decision was imperative to meet the deadline and McKay with councillors Ian Thorpe, Wendy Pratt and Diane Brennan supported making a choice with the city under order and deadline by the province. Pratt said the amount of time and money they are spending and plan on spending to continue to spin their wheels, while under order from the province, is “getting beyond ridiculous.” Brennan argued the comptroller has done exactly what he’s said he would and has made it clear should the city fail to take the approved measures to remediate the problem he will take enforcement action on the city. It’s “bad practice I think, bad public policy to ignore this,” she said. But other councillors called for more time to collect and

consider information. Coun. Bill Yoachim said he thinks there are better options and Coun. Jim Kipp wants to study information and make a decision in a televised meeting. “This is an historical moment where we will stand up for our community, or we will just have to bow to some other person in an office in another town. Not my cup of tea,” Kipp said. The Colliery dams is on the agenda for Monday (July 13). news@nanaimobulletin.com

Guilty plea on indecent act charge nets probation By Karl yu The News BulleTiN

A Nanaimo man has pleaded guilty to four charges related to indecent exposure incidents that occurred last year. Timothy Robert Mooney, 31, entered the pleas for one count of committing an indecent act in a public place, exposing himself to someone under 16 years

of age and a pair of probation breaches in Nanaimo provincial court Tuesday. Mooney, who has also served time for an attempted child luring incident in 2013, was arrested last September for flashing incidents involving girls between 12 and 18 years of age in the Woodgrove Centre area. While he was released on

bail in October, he was again arrested on April 20 for breaching terms of his release by accessing a computer to send out tweets. Among the conditions imposed by Judge Parker MacCarthy, Mooney is sentenced to two years probation and prohibited from consuming alcohol and drugs, unless prescribed by a physician.

He is barred from entering the grounds at Woodgrove Centre, unless in the company of his mother. MacCarthy also ordered Mooney to successfully complete any assessment counselling program as ordered by his probation officer. Mooney shall not have contact with or be alone in the presence of any person who appears to be 18 years or

younger, unless he has advance written consent of his probation officer or is in the presence of an approved adult. Mooney must also provide DNA sample. Mooney received credit for time served and was released. He expressed regret to MacCarthy for his actions and was undergoing counselling, which he said he found helpful. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Trustees divide up annual facilities grant

Youth and elders share knowledge with federal grant Aboriginal elders are sharing what they know with Nanaimo’s next generation thanks to a project supported by the federal government. Tillicum Lelum Aboriginal Friendship Centre has won more than $20,000 from the federal government’s New Horizons for Seniors Program to run its Passing on Knowledge project. The initiative, launched in April, sees elders share knowledge, skills, tradition and culture with youth just by having the two generations spend time together. Executive director Grace ElliottNielsen calls it very important, with positive outcomes. Approximately 100 youth and 20 elders are involved in the project through different programs. “All the issues that are experienced today by residential school and colonization is around the fact that identity has been lost and a sense of belonging. This is an opportunity for elders to replace that sense of belonging,” Elliott-Nielsen said. “That really needs to happen for our youth.” Close to $142,000 was distributed through the New Horizons programs to Central Vancouver Island organizations for initiatives led and inspired by seniors. The dollars are aimed at encouraging seniors to share their knowledge, skills and experiences to the benefit of others and the community.

NEW roofS where bulk of improvement money will go. By KaRl yu The News BulleTiN

Ready to rally

Sue Creba, one of the organizers of a rally at Maffeo Sutton Park on Saturday, signs one of three banners available for attendees to leave messages standing up for clean air, water and climate. A group of Nanaimo residents gathered at the park to protest the tar sands and raise awareness about voting in the upcoming federal election.

Economic development CEO resigns Sasha Angus, Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation chief executive officer, is stepping down. The corporation announced Tuesday that Angus will leave his position Oct. 1 and that he and his family will move to Victoria. The decision to step down was difficult, but family and health considerations are

a priority, said Angus, in a press release. The corporation’s board of directors will strike a search committee and work with a recruitment firm to help find a new CEO by November. The board and senior staff will manage day-to-day operations during the transition. Angus has held the CEO position since 2012.

The Nanaimo school district approved a spending bylaw for about $2.27 million in provincial government annual facilities grant money for the 2015-16 school year. School trustees approved the bylaw at the June 24 regular meeting. A majority of the money will go toward school re-roofing at a cost of $559,058, while $500,000 will go toward converting Cedar back to a high school. Another $500,000 is currently unallocated. It had been set aside for Cedar elementary school conversion, but trustees previously voted to release money for other projects, according to Dale Burgos, school district spokesman, adding that there is no requirement for the money to be distributed in 2015-16. Additionally, $100,044 is allocated for exterior painting, $52,965 for information systems upgrades, $294,239

for a strategic energy management plan, $29,424 for exterior pre-painting repairs and $58,850 for floor replacement. Money totalling $294,242 is allocated for priority boiler replacement and $176,965 will be left in contingency. In all, the province granted approximately $2.87 million in annual facilities grant money. “The annual facilities grant from government, from their perspective, is funded through a portion that’s capital and a portion that’s operating, so the portion that’s capital is what we pass in the bylaw, which is [$2.27 million]. The other part is, from the ministry’s perspective, their operating portion of the AFG, so that’s another $600,000. The [$2.27 million] plus the $600,000 gives you the total,” said Graham Roberts, secretary-treasurer. The school district will see two operating portion amounts withheld by the province – $47,298 will go to Capital Asset Management Services and $257,535 to fund the costs of Next Generation Network Internet upgrades. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

CANADIAN COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER AWARD 2015

EDITORIAL

Nature needs no fire help Could it be that the relentlessly hot weather is making our brains soft? Is there another possible explanation why, despite the fact that temperatures have been in the 30s for what feels like forever and despite the lack of rain resulting in desert-like conditions, people are still flicking their butts? Never mind that carelessly discarded cigarettes are litter and are, therefore, disgusting. Under the right conditions – exactly the conditions, coincidentally, that British Columbians find themselves in at the moment – they have almost unlimited potential for destruction. In Nanaimo last week, firefighters responded to 13 fires caused by humans. What we can only hope is a small minority of smokers are giving what is already a widely reviled habit, an even worse name. Whether they’re flicked out the window of a car, or dropped and given a halfhearted turn of a heel during a walk, cigarette butts are being discarded without, apparently, so much as a second thought to the property, lives or safety of everyone around them. It’s a problem, of course, for local fire crews, who have to gear up and battle searing hot flames in 30-plus degree weather. But it also creates a much bigger issue. Even before summer officially arrived, the province had all but tapped out its wildfire fighting budget for the entire year. Dry lightning storms in the Interior continue to ignite parched vegetation, leaving crews scrambling. Mother Nature doesn’t need any help from humans in that department, but she’s getting it anyway. June’s unrelenting dry heat was certainly out of character for the typically cool and soggy month, but this is hardly the first stretch of hot weather British Columbians have ever seen. We know better.

This is a rebuke to California, Quebec and the European Union, where effective carbon trading is, like controlled fusion, just around the corner. Pope Francis warned that our “throwaway culture” views nature “solely as a source of profit and gain” and so people won’t voluntarily do the right thing. (The results of the Metro Vancouver transit plebiscite could be interpreted this way, if you ignore the bumbling, waste and political posturing that really did it in.) The Pope concludes that there is “an urgent need” for a “true world political authority” to impose order on the greedy capitalist humans that infest our beautiful planet. Presumably this would be the run by the UN, so my advice is to start hoarding candles and cat food now. B.C.’s frozen carbon tax has ceased to have much effect, with gasoline consumption back up over 2008 levels amid the usual volatility of prices. Gasoline is going for around $1.30 a litre, despite the prolonged slump in crude oil prices, and people have basically forgotten about this tax on top of all the other gas taxes. ◆ Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Province doesn’t understand dam issue To the Editor,

Re: City’s grounds for appeal on dam called ‘frivolous,’ June 23. Frivolous may be a common legal term, but it’s insulting to Nanaimo residents that the B.C. comptroller of water rights uses this word in relation to the Colliery dams when approximately $3 million has already been spent on this fiasco. And why is Mayor Bill McKay siding with a provincial government department when he is supposed to be supporting the taxpayers of Nanaimo in their best interests? His idea, along with three other councillors, is to spend an additional $3-8 million – perhaps even more – on a problem that common sense says does not exist.

Does anyone else find it bizarre that while we are in drought conditions and have Level 2 water restrictions – probably going to Level 3 very shortly – the provincial government demands that we spend multi millions of dollars to prepare for a one-in-34,000year flood that has never happened in our history? Gail Radford-Ross Nanaimo

To the Editor,

Re: Request for more time rejected, June 30. Regarding the mayor’s comment that only 40 people care about the Colliery dams – I must be number 41, or perhaps number 41,000? I haven’t been a vocal supporter of the dams, but that does not mean that I am not a strong supporter.

I am passionate about saving this piece of heaven. The dams are safe, historic, a great place for recreation, a home to nature’s animals, a place full of memories -- and hopefully a place where future dreams can come true. Please do not be mistaken and think that only 40 people care about the dams or that only 40 people don’t want to spend millions of dollars frivolously.

Linda Dawes Nanaimo

To the Editor,

Re: Request for more time rejected, June 30. Nanaimo has right now about as close as a city government can come to a mandate and that’s especially clear when it comes to Colliery Dam Park.

City’s canines can keep cool To the Editor,

Re: Owners face fines for leaving dogs in hot vehicles, June 25. As a dog owner and lover I was nothing short of ecstatic to hear of the recent change to Nanaimo’s Licensing and Control of Animals bylaw which was passed last month. A $500 fine should be some deterrent to negligent owners, who choose convenience over compassion and

safety. I hope this will cause businesses to take reports seriously when asked to page a customer to return to their vehicle. Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make these changes happen. It shows, yet again, that our little City of Nanaimo is a fine place to live for all, and sets the standard for other communities to follow.

Trish Mooney Nanaimo

The park and the threat, based on discredited engineering and geotechnical reports, by the provincial government to ham-fistedly demolish the dams and ruin the park, was front and centre during the fall election. We had the chance to elect a council which would, as so many councils have done in the past, buckle to the bullying of the provincial government and the powerful staff empires inside our city hall. We didn’t. This council has been given direction by the electorate: put Nanaimo on a new course for the future. Standing up to the province and reeling in the out-of-control staff regimes inside our city hall would be a good place to start.

Frank Murphy Nanaimo

Canada needs flag-waving To the Editor,

As a veteran of the Korean War, I was proud of my fellow Canadians and the amount of support for our troops during the Afghan war, something we of the forgotten war never received. I thought we had finally caught up with our American neighbors in recognizing the sacrifice these young men and women made for our country. Every second home was flying our flag and the enthusiasm was contagious. How times have changed and those great patriots have jumped off the bandwagon. Those flags are now few and far between. Do we Canadians need a war to show our love for our country?

Revisiting the past Museum-led tour offers unique insight into Nanaimo landmark

NICHOLAS PESCOD/THE NEWS BULLETIN

Paige Fehr, Bastion tour coordinator and guide, holds a pickaxe out front of the Nanaimo Bastion. Fehr will be leading tours of the Bastion throughout the summer months.

BY NICHOLAS PESCOD THE NEWS BULLETIN

rom the Hudson’s Bay Company to a fraternal organization, there have been many people who have kept watch over the Bastion throughout its 162 years in Nanaimo. Currently, the Bastion is officially looked after by the Nanaimo Museum. However, some believe the building is

kept under a watchful eye by, of all things, a resident ghost. “What is going on in there is really benign,” Nanaimo Museum interpretation curator Aimee Greenaway said. The ghost story is just one of the many things that people can learn about when taking a guided tour of the Bastion. The tours, which are by donation, run until Labour Day and are organized by the Nanaimo Museum.

Paige Fehr, Bastion tour coordinator and guide, says she focuses primarily on the history behind the three-storey building. “I just talk about the history behind the Hudson’s Bay Company and why they decided to build the Bastion,” Fehr said. “I talk about each of the three floors and what each purpose of the floor was.” The Bastion was built in 1853 by the Hudson’s Bay Company

as a way to protect the city’s coal mining industry. According to Fehr, a recent Vancouver Island University graduate, the Bastion is unique from other buildings built by the Hudson’s Bay Company. “It is interesting because it is so different from other Hudson’s Bay Company forts that were built,” she said. “Normally they would build the walls and then four towers, but we were never a fur trading post.

Park to be bombarded with art

VANCOUVER ISLAND artists to showcase their artwork at Bowen Park on saturday. By Nicholas Pescod The News BulleTiN

More than a dozen artists from across Vancouver Island will take over one Harbour City park this weekend. On Saturday (July 11), roughly 20 artists will gather at Bowen Park for Art Bomb, an annual event that showcases local artwork. This is the second year that Art Bomb has taken place in Nanaimo. Last year’s event was organized by local artist and owner of Iron Oxide Art Supplies, Willow Friday. However, this year’s event has

been mainly organized by fellow artists Katherine Moore and Carole Reid, with Friday providing some assistance. “I’ve been so busy with the store that I haven’t had the chance to do anything on my own ... so I suggested that we fuse it because there was already momentum with the Art Bomb,” Friday said. Artists participating in this year’s event, which has been juried, include Ed Chan, Danielle Dickson, Grant Leier, Sheila Norgate, Lori

She explained that this year’s event has changed from being simply a showcase of art to a full-on outdoor art festival. “Last year it was set up to create this feeling of art all over downtown Nanaimo,” Friday said. “But this is like a market in the park.

It is turning into an outdoor art festival, like there are in many other communities.” This year’s event will also include art demos and artwork will be on sale.

The News BulleTiN

A local publishing company’s cofounder, who was known for his compassion and passion for environmentalism and human equality, has died. Chris (Kip) Plant, the cofounder of Gabriola Islandbased publishing company New Society Publishers died on June 26 in Nanaimo after a nine-year battle with progressive supranuclear palsy and multiple system atrophy. He was 65. Julie Raddysh, New Society Publishers director of operations and Plant’s step-daughter, says he valued equality for all people. “He was gentle, loving, caring,” she said. “One of our coworkers described

him as a true feminist because he valued equality.” Born in the United Kingdom in 1950, Plant became active with the independence movement in Vanuatu and helped organize the first Nuclear Free and Independent South Pacific conference. “He was very respectful of other people’s ideas and was not judgmental,” Raddysh said. After moving to Canada, Plant along with his wife Judith formed the New Society Publishers in 1996, which has since become an award-winning company. In 2001, New Society Publishers began using acid-free paper for all of its upcoming book titles. “They [the Plants] personally financed that project,” Raddysh said. In 2005 they became the first North American publisher to go car-

bon neutral. “He was always able to pick something that way before its time,” Raddysh said.

Plant would commit to an author or an idea, regardless of popularity. “If he believed in something it was just 110 per cent commitment to it,” Raddysh said. According to the Mayo Clinic, progressive supranuclear palsy, also known as SteeleRichardson-Olszewski, is a rare brain disorder that is the result of deterioration of cells. The disorder, which has no cure, limits the ability to walk, maintain balance, restricts eye movement and eventually leads to more serious health issues. Multiple system atrophy is described the Mayo Clinic as rare neurological disorder that is similar to Parkinson’s disease. The disorder hampers bodily functions such as heart rate and blood pressure. Plant’s funeral was held on July 3. Instead of flowers, the family requests that people make a donation to Gertie, the community bus, at www.gabriolacommunitybus.com.

MOTher Of five finishes two programs.

Ines Alvarado has a vision of one day owning her own automotive shop, where she can employ skills she’s developed in Vancouver Island University’s automotive service technician and management programs. Alvarado, a 33-yearold mother of five, earned the lieutenant-governor of B.C.’s silver medal, awarded June 19 at VIU’s convocation ceremonies for graduates in Trades and Applied Technology programs.

With vacation time accruing over a number of years, Alvarado decided to use her time off to learn and expand her skill set in the automotive program. “I had no experience in automotive, I just knew I liked cars,” said Alvarado. “When I came in, I had no idea what the alternator even

looked like. I loved the work in the shop, and I liked working on the bigger trucks because there’s more room and you can crawl up there to work on the engine.” In keeping with her vision of owning her own business one day, she also earned a certificate in business management and completed the management skills

Her 18-month-old son was diagnosed with Wo l f f - P a r k i n s o n White Syndrome, a heart condition that arises from improper electrical activity of the heart. With her husband staying home with the children, and with support from VIU instructors, Alvarado said it was difficult to keep going at times. She’s signed up to continue classes toward a diploma in business management and begun a finance course as well as a course in French in VIU’s summer session.

Take the Rocky Mountain way By Alexandra Straub

To say the drive from Vancouver to Calgary offers scenic vistas galore would be an understatement. And the opportunity to drive it in the all-new 2015 Volkswagen GTI made it still more irresistible an opportunity. Time constraints allowed only for the most direct route there; taking the Trans-Canada, the 3, the 5 and then again onto the Highway 1. Appreciating the incredible topographical features the Trans Canada has to offer is something I don’t always do. But with a passenger from Ontario ogling the scenery changes, it made me proud to live in such a spectacular place. Okay, I was a lot proud. Whether driving surrounded by lush, emerald vegetation, desert or engulfed in mountain, there was no shortage of ocular stimulation in our 360 view. Furthermore, the GTI is no sleeper either. In fact, it’s probably my favourite VW on the market. And it got a lot better for 2015. Now in its seventh generation, it’s lighter than Golf Mk6, bigger, more fuel efficient, more powerful,

and just more awesome. For a starting MSRP of $27,995, you get the updated 2.0L, TSI turbocharged engine, which now boasts 210 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. The cabin is also roomier, thanks to its augmented dimensions. While the overnight trip didn’t warrant filling the 645L cargo area to the brim, it’s nice to know you could bring a carload of people, along with their gear, and still have an enjoyable time. The GTI builds on its razor sharp handling, improves the suspension and allows the driver to still have a great time behind the wheel. Not to mention, the six-speed manual gearbox – it also comes in a six-speed DSG automatic – is as smooth in shifts as can be. Being stuck in city traffic isn’t ideal, but when you can rev the engine a little higher, wait to shift and breathe in the excitement of the turbocharged ponies, what more can you ask for? You could also ask for beautiful scenery. Check. Prior to Revelstoke, if you’re heading east, there’s Three Valley Gap. It appears almost out of nowhere. Looking like a cross be-

Mid Island Volkswagen’s GTI is bigger, more fuel efficient, more powerful and more awesome. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED tween a Swiss chalet – no, not the place where you get a quarter chicken dinner – and an establishment you might recall from a Stephen King novel, this building that has more than 200 rooms reflects effortlessly on the lake in front of it. With the mountains towering over, the heritage ghost town certainly has some, er, charm. However, the strongest charm in the drive comes from the GTI. You could even say it’s the grandfather, or the inspiration for the term “hot hatch.” It’s not only hot in appearance, but in personality. It’s a car that does everything and does it well. It’s quiet at highway speeds. It’s tame in traffic, but inspiring

on the twisty roads. And even on the track. It can also be entertaining. With the promise of wildlife “for the next 3 km,” my driving partner and I eagerly anticipated the sighting of some sort of horned mammal. A mountain goat would do. We’d even be OK with a bear. But alas, no such luck. Not even with a jaunt through Banff National Park. That’s okay, the premium Fender audio system did a good job of distracting our melancholy thoughts from the lack of wildlife sightings to the musical stylings of rock ‘n’ roll.

Poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow famously wrote, “In character, in manner, in style, in all the things, the supreme excellence is simplicity.” And one could argue that the same is true in automotive design. American car design of the 1950-70s was beloved for its flamboyance. 1963-65 Buick Riviera: The 1963 Riviera was the result of GM design head Bill Mitchell’s desire to produce something that was a combination of a Rolls-Royce and a Ferrari. Whether he succeeded in that odd mash-up is debatable, but the 1963-65 Riv was a thing of great elegance and simplicity, particularly the 1965 model with

hidden headlamps. Introduced at the height of Camelot, it was as elegant as Jackie Kennedy. 1956-57 Continental Mk II: The Continental was emphatically not a Lincoln, even though it shared the name of numerous products of that division of the Ford Motor Company. For two brief years, Continental was a division unto itself and the Mk II may well have been the most elegant postwar car built in America. Costing the then-unheard-of sum of $10,000 (the equivalent of almost $87,000 in today’s money), the care and craftsmanship that went into each car ensured that Ford still lost money on each one. Elvis, Frank Sinatra and Elizabeth Taylor were all Continental owners.

IT’S BACK!

1953 Studebaker Regal Starlight coupe: Famous industrial designer Raymond Loewy put together a team of talented designers that included Robert Bourke to design a car like no other of the 1950s. Low, sleek and incredibly elegant, the Regal Starlight is largely forgotten today by all but the most diehard car collectors. 1975-79 Cadillac Seville: In a decade not necessarily known for elegance (heaven knows how many high school kids rode to prom in dad’s Seville wearing powder blue polyester tuxedos), the Seville stood out against the odds as a particularly elegant design. The first-generation Seville was elegant, restrained and every bit a Cadillac.

Thank You Nanaimo!

2015

Over the past two decades, America has become a land of truck drivers as SUVs, crossover SUVs, minivans and pickups have grown to account for the majority of light vehicle sales in the United States. In fact, the most popular vehicle in the world for more than three decades has been the Ford F-150, which, according to Morgan Stanley, accounts for 90 percent of Ford Motor Company’s global profits. Given that kind of profit margin, there’s a huge incentive for auto manufacturers to try to introduce unique trucks in an effort to expand their existing model lines and fatten corporate treasuries. For the most part, these efforts succeed. Neither a Cadillac Escalade nor a BMW X5 seem as strange as they did a decade ago. But here are other efforts that seemed like a sure bet but somehow missed the mark. 1978 Subaru Brat/2003 Subaru Baja Brat stood for “Bi-drive Recreational All-terrain Transport.” Based on the company’s compact sedan platform, the Brat’s practicality was limited by two rear-facing seats mounted in the cargo bed, which offered little protection from weather or accidents. The Baja was a similar effort, minus the cargo bed seats. 1982 Dodge Rampage In light of the second Mideast oil embargo, Dodge converted their product line to front-wheel drive. So, the Rampage was built on a compact, front-wheel-drive car platform with four-cylinders. However, domestic buyers expected their trucks to have eight cylinders. Result? – This tiny truck’s name was a ruse. 1989 Dodge Dakota Convertible Whether bought for image or utility, trucks have to look as is they’re ready to work. By contrast, droptops must look seductive. The Dakota offered neither. 2001 Pontiac Aztek This is a car that made sense only inside the airless world of GM’s numerous corporate committees. That said, the Aztek has one interesting idea: the center console doubles as a removable cooler. Other ideas, such as the optional tent, were regrettable.

Nanaimo News Bulletin Thursday, July 9, 2015

www.nanaimobulletin.com

Beefs & bouquets BOUQUET To the fire departments and rescue teams of Nanaimo. You saved our street in horrible conditions and we are thankful. A big thank you to our own local hero that prevented an unspeakable tragedy from occurring. BEEF To Nanaimo Golf Club members who consider playing golf more important than respecting locked-out workers trying to earn a living wage. BOUQUET To A&B alternators and starters for fixing my alternator in just a few hours for a very low price. You guys always fix me up when I need it. I’ll never go anywhere else.

BOUQUET To Ted at customer service at Home Hardware at Brooks Landing. He is skilled and very willing to help customers. BEEF To the tree service that started making a big racket on Departure Bay Road at 7 a.m. on Canada Day, contravening noise bylaws. Before the RCMP shut it down we were pretty much awake. BOUQUET To Barb at Classic Appliances. Happy retirement and thanks for your great service during the past 10 years.

BEEF To the staff and owner at the hotel for washing the outside of the building and leaving a large-volume hose with no shutoff to completely soak the street.

BEEF To the transit driver who, when asked if her bus stopped very near Quality Foods on Turner Road, stated it stopped right. This bus stopped two blocks from the store, necessitating my wife to walk up hill in the ferocious heat. BOUQUET To the store clerk who called a cab and had my wife sit down when she saw she was overwhelmed.

BOUQUET Recently received awesome service from a young man named Paul at Canadian Tire.

BOUQUET To the person who turned my lost cellphone in to the customer service desk at Save-On-Foods at Country Club.

BEEF To the four councillors who vote yes to nearly everything without questioning.

BEEF To a coffee shop franchise for not putting automatic doors for disabled when you just did renovations.

BOUQUET For going above and beyond by Fred at Canadian Tire for helping me find a weight for my umbrella stand. I will be back and I will tell everyone about the great customer service. BEEF To the lazy, thoughtless people who abuse the paper and cardboard recycle bins at Woodgrove. Take your styrofoam, plastic, glass and metal to the proper facilities or we could lose this valuable service. BOUQUET To the honest person who found my Marcasite watch in the Canadian Tire parking lot and gave it to the lost and found. You sure made my day. BEEF To the lady on Sherwood Drive who is still feeding the deer and disregarding regulations.

BOUQUET To captains Dick, Rick, Bob, Dean, Gary and Jay, and Mary, of the former Nanaimo Harbour Ferry. Thanks for nine years of excellent ferry service to Newcastle Island – always well-organized, affordable, friendly and fun. BEEF To the woman on the seawall who was incredibly rude to me on Canada Day. I said sorry for accidentally bumping your arm, but you were at fault for stopping suddenly. BOUQUET For all the street banners in Nanaimo. They are an additional colour scene for summer BEEF To all those people who use woodburning fireplaces in their backyard. I have to close my bedroom windows when you burn or my house smells like wood smoke. So much for fresh air at night.

Come on down and celebrate CashMoney & Terminal Esso’s 3rd Year Anniversary! We will be having a customer appreciation day to show thanks to all of our valued customers over the years! We will be handling out lots of free goodies, as well as having a few draws to win some prizes! Stop in at Waryam Plaza on 1050 Terminal Ave. on July 10th from 12:00-4:00pm to join in the fun! For any questions regarding the event please contact: CashMoney at: 250.591.1151 | Esso: 250.716.1956

BOUQUET To all the volunteers, neighbours, firefighters, pilots, spotters and aircraft who fought the fire on Cedar Road. A huge thank you for all you did and for all you do. BEEF I understand so many people coming to look at what was left after the major fire on Wakesiah Avenue, but who stands on the edge of it with a cigarette in hand, just after it has been put out by fire fighters, with dead grass all around? BOUQUET Thank you to all the Volunteers of the Community Lunch Program at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. Your dedication is much appreciated by all.

BOUQUET To Fern at the Bride’s Closet. You came in on your day off to make sure I had my wedding dress when I needed it. You truly made my day. BEEF To the local moving company that took advantage of two young women, who did more of the move, and tried to change the price on arrival. Damaged so much of the furniture and banged up walls in a new suite. BOUQUET To the third guy who showed up to help. Without him I’d probably have been there another five hours. BOUQUET To Long Lake Chateau for their barbecue lunch and antique car show on Canada Day. It was lovely to eat a special meal with our “grandmother” on the holiday. BEEF To the thieves who stole bushes from of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Nanaimo. Have you no respect for your neighbours or a church?

BEEF To the dog owners neighbouring Rotary Park in Lantzville for letting their dogs roam and use the playground and field as their toilet. BOUQUET To the Nanaimo Theatre Group for their 10 awards in connection with their play Bus Stop at the recent Theatre B.C.’s North Island Zone Festival. BOUQUET To Lana, Melody and Katie of Hearing Life Canada in Woodgrove Centre for all their extra efforts and patience dealing with a major hearing concern in our household. BOUQUET To orthodontist Dr. David Alexis and his staff on Bowen Road who kindly and quickly repaired my daughter’s dental work. We are on holiday here and he is not our regular orthodontist. BOUQUET To the Mount Benson Ceili Band for entertaining us with their awesome Celtic music in Cedar on July 1. BOUQUET To Jim at Intell Alarms. The men installing a new door couldn’t get the alarm reconnected. Jim made the time to come right over.

Track championship will test athletes I B.C. JAMBOREE begins tomorrow (July 10). BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

Nanaimo’s track is where championships are decided. That’s becoming truer all the time, as the Nanaimo Track and Field Club continues to put on major meets at Rotary Bowl stadium. This weekend (July 10-12), the city gets the B.C. Athletics Jamboree, which are club provincial championships for athletes in the midget, youth and senior divisions. The local track club is busy making its facility welcoming. Last week workers twinned the long jump pit, the track surface has been washed and the lines will be repainted. “So it’s going to look awesome,” said Tyler Heisterman, Nanaimo Track and Field Club president. Next year the club will host high school provincials in the spring and then the jamboree again in the summer. “We feel that in order to keep the bowl the way it is, we’ve got to bring some events to town. We’ve got to show that it can drive money for our economy. That’s honestly a lot of the thinking behind it,” Heisterman said. The bonus is the very best track and field in B.C., right at the Rotary

GREG SAKAKI/THE NEWS BULLETIN

Nanaimo Track and Field Club athletes including Isaac Sandri practise their starts on the sprint track at Rotary Bowl stadium last week. The club is hosting the B.C. Athletics Jamboree beginning Friday (July 10).

Bowl. Athletes around the province have been targeting this meet since the off-season. There are not only championships at stake, but also spots on Team B.C. Heisterman, who is also coach of the track club, said a lot of athletes have already run the provincial team standard times, but need to do it again at the jamboree, while mak-

ing sure they also win. “They have to come here and be fast or throw far or jump long, and they need to be first place to make those teams,” Heisterman said. “ So all the kids are coming here ramped up and ready to go and give their best performance.” One of the athletes to watch is sprinter Hassy Fashina Bombata,

recently named to B.C.’s Western Canada Games squad. Some other Nanaimo club members with high hopes are Madison Heisterman in the 800 metres, Jessica Katzberg in the hammer throw, Amy Morris and Jenaya Pynn in the 1,500m and 3,000m, Isaac Sandri in javelin and Carter Higgins in the 400m hurdles.

Events are from 3-9 p.m. on Friday, 8:25 a.m.-4 p.m. on Saturday and 8:30 a.m.-3:15 p.m. on Sunday. The 100metre dash finals will be held Saturday at 1:10 p.m. and the 200m finals are Sunday at 12:25 p.m. For more schedule information, please visit www. nanaimotrackandfield. com. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Sr. B T-men have chance to clinch first BY KARL YU THE NEWS BULLETIN

With a playoff berth secured, the Nanaimo senior B Timbermen have their sights set on the West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association regular season title. Three points currently separate Nanaimo (28 points) from the first place Ladner Pioneers in the standings. The two will meet Saturday (July 11) at Frank Crane Arena. The T-men are guaranteed a win Sunday as the Port Moody Thunder have forfeited that game. Nanaimo lost 5-3 at Ladner in April, and Mike Maughan, Nanaimo head coach, said it’s been a long wait for the rematch – his team knows how to play the Pioneers. “We just know they’re a strong team, so it’s going to take a pretty consistent effort for the entire game,” said Maughan. “We’ve been trying to preach all year long just having as consistent of a 60 minutes as we can. If we play as good as we know how, then we should be in good shape.” In addition to the No. 1 spot, forward Jon Diplock can win the regular season scoring title. He currently has 68 points. GAME ON … The T-men and Pioneers play Saturday (July 11) at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Inbrief Fastpitch team gains international experience I sports

Diamonds earn silver medal

The Nanaimo Diamonds u16 girls’ fastball team has been getting ready for provincials with tough tournaments. The squad was runnerup last month at the Lower Mainland Cup, falling 2-0 in the final to the South Delta Invaders. In round-robin play, Nanaimo defeated Ridge Meadows, Langley and another South Delta entry. The Diamonds are entered in provincials later this month in the Lower Mainland.

NaNaimO BReakeRS compete in Canadian Open tournament. BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEwS BuLLETIN

The Nanaimo Breakers were trying to make sure the breaks went their way at the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship over the weekend. The midget B softball team entered the major tournament in Surrey this past weekend. “It’s a good tournament; lots of good ball,” said Mark Fletcher, coach of the Breakers. “Everybody’s trying to get ready for provincials or state championships.” The Breakers were in the Futures Select division, and even though they had a full slate of games, they anticipated watching some of the international exhibitions.

GREG SAKAKI/ThE NEwS BullETIN

Nanaimo Breakers softball player Nicole Foglietta makes contact during practice last week at Bowen West field.

“So we can finish up a game and then walk over and watch Japan and the United States playing a game,” said Fletcher. “It’s awesome to see that kind of ball.”

The Breakers have competed in the event every year and it’s always an exciting atmosphere, said Nicole Foglietta, one of the Nanaimo players.

“It’s interesting to see all the different teams [from] different places because you see how they play…” she said. “It’s incredible watching their passion behind it.” On the field, the Breakers faced top teams including the sort of opposition they’ll be facing at provincial championships in Nanaimo later this month. So the Canadian Open tourney came at the perfect time. “It shows us what we have to work on. That’s the best thing about playing the best teams; it shows us where we are standing,” Foglietta said. “Even though we are from the Island, we’re not a little wimpy team, we’re still someone to be reckoned with. It’s great to see how we’re doing and who we compare to.” Look for more on the team in a future issue of the News Bulletin. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

The Nanaimo White Rapids enjoyed life in the fast lane at their big summer meet last month. A huge contingent of athletes from the local club swam to fast finishes at the Nanaimo White Rapids Invitational Meet from June 26-28 at Kin Pool at Bowen Park. “It was awesome to have such a large portion of our club out at the meet, and all ages, from Div. 1 all the way up to Div. 8 having great racing,” said Gareth Saunders, coach of the White Rapids. “Things are looking really good moving forward.” The meet was a major undertaking, with around 450 swimmers from Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland. “A meet like that doesn’t come together without a huge parent volunteer group dedicating a lot of time,” Saunders said. Top-three results can be found at www. nanaimobulletin.com/ sports. First-place results include: Div. 1 - Danielle Barberie, first, 50m freestyle, first, 50m breaststroke, first, 50m fly, first, 100m individual medley. Div. 2 - Cadence Jones,

Basketball season wraps up in Nanaimo

bOyS’ TeamS recognized for efforts

Despite competition from other sports, professional basketball has continued to make headlines during the past several weeks. First it was the Golden State Warriors capturing its first NBA title since 1975 with a Game 6 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Then came the entry draft, where the Minnesota Timberwolves used first pick to take Kentucky’s Karl-Anthony Towns. Now attention turns to free agent signings. LeBron James is expected to re-sign with the Caveliers, while Portland’s LaMarcus Aldridge signed with the San Antonio Spurs. Locally, we catch up this week with recognition of the top boys’ basketball teams from the past season. Dover Bay Dolphins competed at the AAAA high school level, finishing second at the Island championships. Unfortunately, a subsequent loss in a challenge game against Cowichan prevented them from advancing to the provincials. Carson Williams coached Dover players Christian Wigmore, Jeff Webb, Quinn Mirau, Miles Huynh, Aaron Mun, Gary Gladstone, Jordan Gladstone, Jordan Smith, Fraser Schmidt, Ryan MacDonald, and Ben Davies. At the AAA level, Wellington Wildcats and NDSS Islanders were the top two local teams. Wellington defeated Nanaimo District Secondary School in the North Island final, then the Islanders topped the Wildcats in the Island championship final. Both teams advanced to provincials in Langley, where NDSS finished seventh and Wellington ninth. On the court for Wellington were Anton Kamke, Hayden Jeffery, Nathaneal Durkan, Alex Staniforth, James Sandifer, Joseph Almoete, Dylan Chapotelle,

Daniel Goodman, las, Zack Mackay, Yas Tsuda, Ryder Hunter GackstatJenks, and Brooks ter, Jordan Cox, Branchi.

coordinated the league for bantam (born 2001-02) boys’ teams from schools with a population of more than 250 students. In postseason playoffs, the district title went to the team from Coal Tyee. On the winning squad were players Nolan Kehoe, Mathew Noskins, Lucas Calliou, Riley De Ruiter, Austin Parkin, Colby Hatchell, Kolton Pieters, Wes De Gear, Isaak Larke, and Korman Branter. Runners-up were the boys from Ecole Hammond Bay. The players were Callum Louden, Ethan Kopp, Cole Husband, Cole Latiff, Stefane Prairie, Luke Hoefer, Brandon Groot, and Dylan Odgers. In the consolation final, Mountain View got past Ladysmith to claim third place. The bantam boys’

basketball league for smaller schools was coordinated by Jeff Hasenaur. In the playoffs, the squad from Rutherford Elementary captured the first-place pennant. Runners-up were the boys from Cinnabar Valley. The players were Kyle Herle, Liam Moore, Ethan Katzberg, Daniel Sackey, Levi Sutton, Maverick Tatlock, Ryder Keay, Andrew Mattes, Brendan Duperron, and Ashton Bryant. Third place in the playoffs was claimed by the Frank J. Ney team, while fourth place went to the Cilaire entry. Next week we’ll review results from local girls’ basketball playoffs. Whatever your sport, a reminder in closing to play your hardest, play fair, and show good sportsmanship.
