Bathtub race becomes family affair

“

JAIME GARCIA and daughter Deisy compete.

When you’re out there, that’s all that matters is finishing the race because it’s so rough.

BY KARL YU THE NEWS BULLETIN

Bathtub racers are bracing for challenges that will be thrown their way Sunday (July 26) at the Great International World Championship Bathtub Race. This year sees a new course. Starting at Maffeo Sutton Park, tubbers will head northwest around Maude Island, back toward Five Fingers Island, down around Protection Island, into the harbour and ending by the statue of Frank Ney. Marian Stewart, veteran bathtubber and 2014 seventh-place finisher, did a dry run Monday and said it seemed similar to last year’s, although the waters were calm. She is concerned about winds and conditions come race day. The rule of thumb is tubbers who make it to Entrance Island have a good chance of finishing, she said. “Because of all the escort boats and the people that are starting off in really the first 10 [racers], that’s a lot of wake and swell and everything else that’s going around Entrance, so a lot of the boats do go down going around Entrance and coming up to Entrance,”

KARL YU/THE NEWS BULLETIN

Jaime Garcia, bathtub racing veteran, says the new course for the 2015 Great International World Championship Bathtub Race, could lead to some rough waters.

said Stewart. Longtime bathtubber Jaime Garcia, who finished eighth last year, navigated the course by boat and said it will be a challenge around Protection and Newcastle islands. “I’ve been out there when it gets blowing and it’s a southeasterly and it’s pretty gnarly [with] three- to four-foot chops.

You don’t have the protection of Jesse Island when you go in, so it’s going to be harder to run,” said Garcia. The 2015 race will also be a family affair for Garcia, as 14-year-old daughter Deisy is entered as well. This is Deisy’s first year racing and Jaime Garcia has been offering advice on the challenges. He has

told his daughter how to drive the bathtub, tackle waves and deal with the physical toll and fatigue bathtub racing can cause on the body. “I’ve gone through it already with the first race and I’m not looking forward to the pain of the next one,” said Deisy Garcia. She finished second in a race on Father’s Day, but for Jaime Garcia, it’s not so much about placing Sunday. “My biggest hope is that she finishes because it’s an accomplishment on its own. Because even if you don’t finish in the top, it’s such a gruelling and enduring race. When you’re out there, that’s all that matters is finishing the race because it’s so rough,” he said. The Great International World Championship Bathtub Race starts at 11 a.m. For more information on events during marine fest, please see page 10. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Auxiliary spillway option chosen for Colliery dam BY TAMARA CUNNINGHAM THE NEWS BULLETIN

An 11th-hour decision to fix the lower Colliery dam and abandon a legal appeal of a provincial order was made under “quite a bit of duress,” according to Coun. Bill Yoachim. Nanaimo’s nine councillors voted unanimously Monday to remediate the lower dam with an auxiliary spillway, estimated to cost between $2.8 million and $4.6 million. It will also drop its appeal of a provincial order to the Environmental Appeal Board, write concerns to the province and investigate the dams issue. The about-face comes just shy of a July 24 deadline by the B.C. comptroller of water rights to submit plans for the lower dam and on the heels of a letter sent July 16 by the province that makes it clear council’s decision on the dams, made a week ago, would not comply with a provincial order. It also lays out potential consequences, including the removal of water licences necessary to keep the dams intact and fines of up to $1 million a day, and shows individual representatives of the city could be held personally liable if the corporation commits an offence under the Water Act.

Councillors Yoachim, Gord Fuller and Jim Kipp said the potential consequences were factors in their decision and are now looking toward the investigation. Fuller said a week or two ago he didn’t think the province would do anything. It’s now become a reality the city could have been used as an example and see its water licences pulled, said Fuller, who points to conversations with people who work closely with the provincial government as reasons for what changed from last week when council decided not to move forward with lower dam remediation and instead focus on studies, creation of a committee and work on the middle dam. “I didn’t like the idea of the city being fined,” Fuller said. “But to have our water licence taken away that could have been a huge issue.” Yoachim, who proposed the motion that won unanimous consent, pointed to an approaching deadline and the province’s lack of movement on its order as reasons behind the decision. The city received a strong letter from the province, he said, adding while this decision isn’t perfect, it’s a resolution. See ‘COUNCILLORS’ /4

Last three months driest on record

cloudS Will make way for more sun. By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN

Enjoy whatever rain might fall this week, because beyond the weekend, the possibility of precipitation remains uncertain. Vancouver Island remains stuck in what is shaping up to be the driest summer on record. Rainfall for May totalled just five millimetres, June saw 7.6 mm and July so far has collected 7 mm compared to normal monthly rainfalls of 54, 43 and 25 mm respectively. “The various storms we’ve been tracking across the province just continue to track north of the south coast and Vancou-

ver Island,” said Matt MacDonald, Environment Canada meteorologist. That leaves the Island in an extreme drought condition with no relief in sight, MacDonald said, adding it would take an additional 120 mm of precipitation to equal normal rainfall for the period. MacDonald said forecasts into September call for continued higher-than-normal temperatures after some rain and cloudy weather this week. “I ran some stats and this is the driest three-month period on record and records started in 1901. The driest three-month stretch in 114 years,” MacDonald said. Nanaimo still has enough water to last until October with current usage and water restrictions. The city imposed

“

The driest three-month stretch in 114 years.

Level 2 water restrictions June 15. Geoff Goodall, manager of engineering and public works, said Tuesday Nanaimo’s Jump Lake reservoir was at about 82 per cent of capacity and that overall daily water consumption is about 56 million litres. The city isn’t considering moving water restrictions to Level 3, but is encouraging people to not water if possible. The city has also reduced watering at playing fields and facilities.

“If we don’t think we need it, we’ve cut those systems off,” Goodall said. Lantzville went to Stage 4 water restrictions July 11, strictly limiting any outdoor watering. The Regional District of Nanaimo is reporting a 50-per cent drop in water use the week after it enacted its Level 4 water restrictions July 9, which prohibits car and driveway washing and lawn watering. “We’re going to be pushing to maintain that throughout the rest of the summer as there is the potential of two or two and a half months with no significant rainfall and recharge to our systems,” said Julie Pisani, drinking water and watershed protection program coordinator with the regional district. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

“Am I pleased we have to do this? Absolutely not,” Yoachim said. “But nevertheless, we are able to preserve the park through the spillway option.” The motion was acceptable to Kipp because it includes sending a letter to the province outlining council’s concerns and an investigation. “We have the right as a community to self determination and it seems like we are not willing to do that right now,” he said. “I have to vote to continue to move the business of the city forward.” The motion also involves a tendering process, a plan for the middle dam and a select committee that will play a consultative role during the installation of a spillway.

Inbrief Transition plan in place city scene

Mountie saves dog in hot car A Nanaimo police officer broke a car window to save a dog on the weekend. According to Nanaimo RCMP, officers were called Saturday at about 3:30 p.m. for a dog locked in a parked car with no water or airflow. The German shepherd cross had been left for at least 30 minutes and was in distress. The officer, failing to find the owner, broke the car window, retrieved the dog and had it checked at a veterinary clinic where it was kept to lower its core temperature. Had the dog’s body temperature risen another two degrees it could have started to experience organ failure, police said. The owner was found, told of the situation and the dog was turned over to him while the incident, referred to the SPCA for possible charges, is investigated.

ECONOMIC PROJECTS overseen after CEO leaves post. BY CHRIS BUSH THE NEWS BULLETIN

Sasha Angus, Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation’s chief executive officer, is clearing his desk to put family business ahead of economic development. Angus and his family are moving to Victoria where his wife is a professor of linguistics at the University of Victoria. His final day is Oct. 1. Angus was hired in August 2012 to helm economic development. Although SSS Manhao cancelled its bid to build a conference centre hotel, Angus leaves behind ongoing major projects, including the downtown Hilton Hotel development and the foot ferry to Vancouver. Angus assesses equal importance to the Hilton Hotel and fast ferry, so maintaining consistent relations with investors and developers is important. “We’ll be working with the pro-

ponents to move them as far down the field as we can and then to make sure the transition’s a smooth one for them later on this fall,” Angus said. The NEDC board engaged Vancouver-based recruitment firm Davies Park Executive Search Consultants to help find Angus’ replacement by the end of November. The economic development corporation’s board and senior staff will manage day-to-day operations during the transition. They’ll continue working with project proponents they have relationships with while Angus connects staff and board members with proponents whom they haven’t met. Andre Sullivan, board chairman, said the majority of the work isn’t about large projects, although Angus will continue to work on those with the board until he leaves for Victoria. “It’s the day-to-day, Square One, coaching, mentoring, business attraction and retention programs. They may not get all the attention, but that’s where the vast majority of the work is.” photos@nanaimobulletin.com

The hearing specialist at the Terminal Park Connect Hearing has seen a number of his clients afflicted by the disease and will be taking part in the Ascent for Alzheimer’s fundraiser for the Alzheimer’s Society of B.C., between Sept. 23-29 in Tanzania. Proceeds will go toward research, education and support for the 70,000plus people in the province who suffer from Alzheimer’s and dementia. Seeing once-sharp customers deteriorate mentally isn’t an easy experience,

falls apart, but you just see the deterioration and it’s quite sad because you can’t do anything to stop it,” said Campbell. While the adventure Campbell and seven other climbers will embark on isn’t as arduous as summiting Mount Ever-

est – Campbell will wear ordinary hiking boots – it is a “rocky hike with a little bit of scrambling.” He likens it to climbing Mount Benson five times. Hikers will have to deal with altitude sickness, as Kilimanjaro has an elevation of close to 6,000 metres. “You can get very, very nauseated, there can be certain things with clotting of blood, from lack of oxygen, things like that, so our team is run by a very, very keen guide that has done it many times and she knows how to mitigate all the risks, so we’ve done training hikes. I’ve been training for a year for this climb,” said Campbell. He is about halfway to his target of $10,000 and said a fundraising garage sale will take place sometime in August.

EDITORIAL

Dam outcome isn’t a win-win

There was high-fiving in council chambers this week, and for good reason – the city has decided what to do about the Colliery dams. The lower dam will get a spillway, the floodplain will be safe and sound and the park will mostly be preserved. City council coming to a consensus is an achievement, but this dam outcome shouldn’t be much cause for celebration. The only reason councillors were able to make a decision is because the decision was made for them. With the province applying pressure, the municipality simply ran out of options and ran out of time. Two successive city councils backed Nanaimo into this Colliery dams corner. At the start, there was a lack of decisionmaking as the issue was steered by populist politicking and punted away as the next council’s problem. Current council’s divided approach exacerbated the problem. Calling the province’s bluff was wellintentioned, but it was a risk that didn’t pay off. We’ve asked why councillors who were willing to defy the water comptroller decided against it in the end, but their reasons remain unclear. If the choice was between a spillway and sanctions, then the city made the right choice. But those were the only two choices precisely because of the city’s actions and inaction. Nanaimo won’t get much to show for its attention to this issue. We spent $3 million studying the dams, and will now spend $2.8-4.6 million on a spillway we’ve been talking about for two and a half years. Hardly anybody is going to be satisfied. A few people wanted the dams demolished, most wanted them to stay the same forever and nobody really wanted the dams to be built more massive and mighty. We’ve had fairly sturdy dams all along; it has been the leadership that has been leaky. If, at the very least, Nanaimo can learn something from this drawn-out dam debacle, then perhaps that would be a good reason for high-fives.

King notes that the bottling plant uses less than one per cent of the flow through Kawkawa Lake: “If Nestlé stopped operating … would there be more water for the rest of us?” he writes. “Absolutely not. Kawkawa Lake drains its excess water into the Fraser River, which drains into the Strait of Georgia. Neither the Fraser River at Hope nor the Strait of Georgia is particularly short of water, even in the driest of years.” Clark made one useful contribution, when asked about this urgent non-issue by those seeking to further sensationalize the current drought and forest fires. She correctly noted that most B.C. residents have access to the best tap water in the world, and have no need for bottled water. Nestlé, Perrier, Coke, Pepsi and other companies have done a fantastic job of convincing people that their drinking water has to be delivered in bottles from some mythical pure source. Here’s a tip, Nestlé critics: Fill a jug with water and stick it in the fridge. Fight the corporations. ◆ Tom Fletcher is columnist and legislature reporter for Black Press.

War, flag-waving just human nature To the Editor,

Re: Canada needs flag-waving, Letters, July 9. Surely it’s rhetorical when the letter writer asks, “Do we Canadians need a war to show our love for our country?” – Canadians being but one of the instinctively tribal cultures populating the globe; culture, once beyond the superstition, being naught but an inherent fostering of tribal differences; a delight in distinguishing between ‘us’ and ‘them.’ Would the creators infesting our many cultural superstitions have imbued our species with an instinctive tendency to get stupid in the presence of cultural symbols if the intention was not to reinforce the most base of tribal instincts? Us and them: the most basic prerequisite of war; of its attendant (as symptom) flagwaving. The species is easily governed by the law of ‘the lowest common denominator;’ that intellectual density wherein Homo sapiens is unable to think, unable to question dictates and pronouncements; unable to better discern events than does his chimpanzee cousin. Yes, indeed, imagine the horrors of a world without war. One positively shudders at the thought. Notwithstanding W.T. Sherman’s timelessly, prescient observation that “war is cruelty, and you cannot refine it.” So, yes, let the divisions be made that the merriment of flag-waving may commence.

Community conserving water To the Editor,

Re: Water conservation measures lack logic, Letters, July 14. In these recent weeks of severe drought, several editorials and numerous letters to the editor have appeared, urging residents to conserve water. At Canada Day celebrations in Maffeo Sutton Park, as part of our Council of Canadians display, I set up a Post-It note display inviting people to answer “What can I (we) do to use less water?” Seventyseven adults and children responded. Here are some of their practical, creative ideas: At home, don’t flush the toilet every time. Install low-flush toilets. Shower instead of bathing. Take shorter showers. Bathe together. Plug the tub when you shower and

after, use the water to water your garden. (I tried this and was astonished that I used almost four gallons for my ‘short’ shower.) Wash dishes by hand. Put a basin in the sink to collect water used to rinse dishes, wash produce and cook veggies. This water can be used in the garden. In the yard, don’t water lawns. Change to drip irrigation. Listen to water restriction rules. Have a rain barrel. Mulch gardens to conserve moisture. In the community, have conversations. Stop giving our water to bottled-water companies. Conserving our environment will keep our water clear and drinkable. Changing our habits is doable with a little time and practice.

Solar power makes sense in B.C. To the Editor,

Site C is predicted to cost $8 billion. Why couldn’t B.C. Hydro put that $8 billion into solar on all appropriate roofs (including yours and mine), along with battery storage, instead of flooding agricultural land in the Peace River Valley? We all get some sun. Another plus with this alternative is that the electricity grid is already here, meaning no building of roads and power lines in the wilderness to the Peace. If homeowners don’t use all the power they collect, they could sell it back to B.C. Hydro. Ontario does this already. This idea has the added benefit of creating jobs in the production of solar panels and electrical installations.

Residents are finding creative ways to conserve water, says letter writer.

To the Editor,

Since the introduction of Level 2 watering restrictions, I have noticed that many residents have carefully been following the protocols. It saddens me to see that at least one of our publicly funded institutions, Dover Bay Secondary School, does not appear to be aware of the need to conserve water. While I agree that playing fields should

be watered to some degree, I do think that sprinklers should be adjusted to water the grass on the field rather than sending cascades of water down the paths and straight into the drains, without fulfilling any useful purpose. I understand that the school and the city have been notified of the problem. Could we see some action please?

Laura is inviting all of her previous and new guests to come to her new location!

The 49th annual Nanaimo Marine Festival is set to run from Thursday (July 23) to Sunday, and while people can enjoy the usual celebrations, the premier event has seen some tweaking. The course for the Great International World Championship Bathtub Race has been adjusted. Previous races ended at Departure Bay beach, but this year, the starting and finish lines are both situated at Maffeo Sutton Park. It is something the society has always wanted, said Bill McGuire, Loyal Nanaimo Bathtub Society commodore. It was becoming a situation where people would come and watch the start and not the finish or vice versa. Departure Bay was also becoming packed with activity. “That became, not a problem, as much as it was something

that we wanted to get away [from] and we’re getting ready for our 50th anniversary next year in 2016 and we thought, what a better time to make a big change like this,” said McGuire. The marine festival will also give a nod to the Armed Forces with a big military display, as 2015 represents a milestone for the military facility at Nanoose Bay. “We are saluting the 50th anniversary of the [Canadian Forces Maritime Experimental and Test Ranges] Ranch Point, where a lot of testing is done on different facets of the navy and it’s a shared operation with the United States Navy and the Canadian navy.” The navy salute theme extends to the Sailpast on Wheels Parade on Saturday at 10:30 a.m. The route begins at Fitzwilliam and Selby streets, to the Bastion and along Front Street to Maffeo Sutton Park. The fireworks start 10 p.m. Saturday over Nanaimo harbour, and the bathtub race begins at 11 a.m. on Sunday.

SHOW HELD at the Art 10 Gallery.

By Nicholas Pescod The News BulleTiN

hree local artists with completely different styles have come together to show off their natural artistic talents. Currently on display at the Nanaimo Art 10 Gallery is Natural Elements, an exhibit that features works by Hollie Benoit, Karin Schieber and Patricia Mansell. The month-long exhibit showcases pieces made from natural elements such as glass, silver and slate. “This is all handcrafted stuff,” Schieber said. “It is not off the mill. It is original pieces.” Instead of featuring an individual artist for the month of July, the Art 10 Gallery decided to combine the three artists’ natural pieces into a single show. “We decided that what we really do falls under the title of natural elements because we are using the elements of silver, glass, slate and wood pieces,” Mansell said. “They are all nature’s natural materials.” This is the first time that Benoit, Mansell and Schieber have dis-

played their work together. “It has worked out really well,” Benoit said. Schieber, who creates jewelry out of gold and silver, says combining her art with Benoit and Mansell’s was a natural decision. “It goes together better because it is glass and slate and jewelry, it is better than with paintings,” she said.

Schieber says she loves working with gold, but often works with silver because of costs. “I love making necklaces, cuffs and bracelets,” she said. Mansell was born in England and moved to Canada in 1981. In the mid1990s, she took up painting wildlife and has since developed a special interest in creating works that

so since 2010. She has worked with other mediums such as clay and wax and also draws. Benoit says she enjoys being able to recreate nature. “Like Patricia, I like to look at the nature aspects when I do scenery. I just look at it and think that would be beautiful in glass,” she said. Mansell hopes that people appreciate just how much work went into all the pieces featured in the show.

BEEF To whomever removed my magnetic greyhound sign from the back of my red Dodge Caravan. Greyhound people don’t do that, so you must have done it just for the hell of it. I would like it back. BOUQUET To George Kilpatrick on his retirement as our Canada Post letter carrier after 18 and a half years on the Smuggler’s Hill route. Enjoy a long, healthy, happy, serendipitous retirement. BEEF To people who apply for a variance to the building code with no consideration for neighbours who bought their homes for the view and who could lose most of it and reduce the re-sale value of their homes. BOUQUET To all who supported the Cedar 4-H silent auction by way of donated items and gift certificates. Your generosity and community spirit made our event most successful. BEEF To the fast food restaurant on Terminal Avenue for constantly spewing greasy black smoke into the air and making the whole area reek. I can’t believe people still eat there. BOUQUET To the women and men who work for the Nanaimo Integrated Health Network, my admiration and appreciation for all you do for our community. Your professional services many times go unheralded. BEEF To all Nanaimo city councillors for not listening to each other and just waiting for their turn to talk. Your conduct is nothing short of embarrassing. BOUQUET To Brian Rampanen of Brian’s Painting for transforming my house from a tired, dowdy, washed out home back to a new vibrant modern, and now very comfortable, place to be.

Nanaimo News Bulletin 13

BOUQUET To Stephen Harper and Christy Clark. Your critics are mainly losers who dislike winners. BEEF To the person who left a shaming note on my car at Thrifty Foods. I have a prominently displayed handicap placard for a reason. Please try to remember that not all disabilities are immediately visible, not all require a wheelchair or walker. BOUQUET To Keith at Wal-Mart. He is always helpful and pleasant to talk to. He always shows me where things are. BEEF To the high-tech industry for reminding me the posted speed limit is optional for company trucks. BOUQUET To the lovely woman driving the white Pure Spa car who paid for my coffee and bagel at Tim Hortons. You have no idea how happy that made me. BEEF There are many jokes told to consumers about the shape of the economy, but the good one about crude oil supply-demand is recently told at B.C. gasoline pumps. Crude is dirt cheap but there is a very slow ‘readjustment’ – upwards. BOUQUET To my hard-working neighbour Clayton for always having a smile on his face and something nice to say. You make Nanaimo a better place to live. BEEF To some resident care attendants. Make time to wash residents hands too. It is very important that proper hygiene be followed by all. You prevent outbreaks that way. BOUQUET To the woman who found my coon hound mix near Wakesiah Avenue and to Island Veterinary Clinic for keeping him safe overnight until I could be contacted.

With the rear seats folded down, there was enough storage to fit my road bike inside (without having to take off the front wheel) and left room for my cycling gear and a passenger up front. On the subject of size, around town, it pretty much fits into any parking spot. Even those annoyingly small spots that are the direct result of people not considering others and awkwardly placing their vehicles at just the right distance so a “middle” car can’t fit. You know the violators I’m talking about. Prius: 1. Parking: 0. The particular trim of c I had was deemed the “Technology.” That includes the aforementioned navigation system, SMS-to-speech and GAS email-to-speech capability, a backup camera, a leather wrapped steering wheel, a power moonroof, 15-inch aluminum alloy wheels, and more. Let me be clear, the takeaway at the end of the day is that the Prius c is my favourite Prius in the lineup. You can drive the pants off it and you’ll still get amazing fuel economy results. There’s room for five, a road bike in the back – but in that case you’ll have to fold the rear seats down and kick three people out – fuel economy is stellar and it’s wrapped into a shapely package. C might stand for City, but it stands for “winner” in my books. Long live the Prius. The 2015 Toyota Prius c Technology has a starting MSRP of $26,055. Visit www.toyota.ca for more information.

Malaise era produced some gems by Grant Stoecker

1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am Special Edition Call it the Burt Reynold’s effect, but the 1977 TransAm is still a kick-ass ride. Featured in 1977’s top grossing film, Smokey and the Bandit, the black and gold Trans-Am had as much star power as the mustachioed Reynolds. The power for the T/A came from a 6.6 litre V8, producing a disappointing 200 horses for 1977, a far cry years prior. It didn’t seem to matter as you cruised down main street, however, T-Tops in the trunk and blasting Journey through the 8-track.

1981-83 DeLorean DMC-12 The DMC-12 was the car from the future that no one had asked for, but everyone wanted. Built by an automotive dream team consisting of John DeLorean, Colin Chapman, and Giorgetto Giugiaro, the DMC-12 was built to be a futuristic luxury coupe with a 200 horsepower Wankel rotary engine. Execution of the concept missed the mark, and the production DMC-12 drew its underwhelming 130 horsepower from a Renault 6. Despite this, the DeLorean secured its spot in the hearts of people around the globe as Doc Brown’s time machine in the 80’s mega-franchise, Back to the Future. If only they had come stock with the flux capacitor.

The Malaise Era was the antithesis of the muscle car heyday that existed until the early 1970s. It was a dark period characterized best by underwhelming engines, EPA restrictions, and questionable styling. In the Malaise Era you could run your new Cobra through the gears without raising the attention of local law enforcement. The era wasn’t without hope, and the era saw production of a few diamonds in the rough. Here are our picks.

Cadillacs desirable for any good fella 1971-78 Cadillac Eldorado With its massive 500-cubicinch V-8, they were all over the place in 1970s Vegas. It’s hard not to start humming Tony Bennett’s Rags to Riches when you see one.

It’s well known that men of a certain age have an insatiable appetite for Martin Scorsese films. Few films lend themselves to repeated viewings like the modern classics Goodfellas and Casino. As Gen-Xers (who make up much of the fanbase of 1990s Scorsese films) start to come into some real disposable income, a good number of them seem to have been inspired to collect the cars of their favorite unsavory screen characters – guys with names like Ace Rothstein, Nicky Santoro, Paul Cicero and Johnny Roastbeef. The Hagerty Price Guide shows the values of 1970s Cadillacs to be up 25 per cent in just the last three months. Here are some favorites: 1967 Cadillac Eldorado The 1967 Eldorado was the second shoe that GM dropped after the magnificent 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado. Another big GM front-wheel-drive car with fantastic styling, many of its styling cues – particularly the knife-edged rear end treatment – still show up on today’s Cadillacs.

1971-76 Cadillac DeVille At a tick over 19 feet long, the 1971-76 DeVille was one of the largest cars of the decade in exterior dimensions and the largest in terms of interior volume. Trunk size was off the charts – just the thing for The Simpsons resident goodfella Fat Tony (voiced by the great Joe Mantegna) to transport his suspiciously body bag-shaped “yard trimmings.” The full-size DeVille was available with an equally massive 500-cubic-inch Cadillac V-8. 1977-86 Cadillac DeVille While the DeVille was significantly downsized for 1977, it lost none of its swagger and appeal. The initial engine offered still displaced 425 cubic inches. Rob Sass writes for Hagerty Insurance.

DEATHS

Barton, John Ivan â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Jackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

survive World War II let alone the subsequent years. He was born in the slums of Sheffield, England on Aug. 14, 1922 to Mr. and Mrs. Ledger but at two years of age his parents divorced and he and his sister Jean were sent to Dr. Barnardoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s orphanage. Fortunately dad was adopted by the Bartons when he was five years old. It was fortunate because they were quite wealthy, caring parents and lived in a large house in the country. He had a first class education and was set to attend Oxford University to become an architect but when World War II started he joined the RAF instead. He was promptly sent to Canada to train as a pilot. After obtaining his wings he was promoted to instructor which he did for the next three years all over Canada. In the winter of 1943/44 he was instructing in Pearce Alberta just west of Lethbridge. There he met Estelle (McLintock) and they married in April 1944. A week later dad was transferred to England to fly Mosquito fighter bombers. Mom followed him that summer. She always called herself a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;reverse war brideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. On Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 13th mission his plane was badly damaged by flak but he managed to struggle back to England where he crash landed but suffered severe injuries which grounded him for the rest of the war. I was born in Sheffield on May 1946. Post war England wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a very good place to live so they packed up and moved in 1948 to Victoria, BC where Dad restored antique furniture (his hobby prior to the war) and taught flying at the local flying club. Then in 1950 he began flying for Port Alberni Airways, but after several forced landings he decided to do some â&#x20AC;&#x153;saferâ&#x20AC;? flying and joined the RCAF in 1951. He spent most of his career flying helicopters and received commendations for dangerous rescue missions. We bounced all over Canada and my sister Anne was born in 1957 in Brandon Man. Dad retired from the RCAF in 1965 and we moved to White Rock, BC. He flew helicopters in the Alberta oil fields for the next 2 years, but that came to an abrupt end when he lost his medical rating in the fall of 67. Since Dad couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fly anymore he decided to try to make a living at woodworking. Over the next 6 years he built one house, two â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Black Forestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; restaurants and an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Old Country Innâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; restaurantâ&#x20AC;Śall in the lower mainland. Then in about 1974 he had an opportunity to open his own school of creative woodworking near Nelson BC. The school was eventually assimilated by Selkirk college and Dad taught there until he retired in 1987. Dad and Mom moved to Chemainus and then to Nanaimo. Mom developed Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and lived at Travellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lodge for 6 years where Dad visited her every day until she died in Jan. 2010. We think that Dad lived another 5 years after her passing because of his wonderful sense of humour (dry English) and the fact that many of the residents and staff of both Kiwanis Village and Malaspina Gardens doted on himâ&#x20AC;Ś he was a bit of a flirt right to the end! May he rest in peace. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll miss you Dad! He left behind his son Dave, daughter Anne, sister Jean, many nieces and nephews, and many grand and great grandchildren. A memorial service will be held at the Kiwanis Village auditorium on Sunday, Aug. 9th at 2 p.m.

NICKEL Henry

October 27, 1924 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; July 16, 2015

Nickel, Henry- There is much to be missed and remembered about this beloved husband of 67 years, to Agatha. A caring father to Murray (Kimberley), Ron (Dinah), Allan (Dawn), Beverley, and Jeremy (Kathryn). A precious and loving Grandpa to 17 Grandchildren and 22 Great-Grandchildren. Also left to reflect are his 2 sisters Helen and Susie whom he loved dearly and other extended family members and dear friends. He was born in Lowe Farm, Manitoba on October 27, 1924 and passed away peacefully surrounded by family on July 16, 2015 in Abbotsford, BC. Henry has left an amazing legacy of devotion, diligence and family who hold cherished memories of early morning breakfasts, endless stories, and card gamesâ&#x20AC;Śeven if he always won! Young people and children always enjoyed being around him, and he was happiest when among his grandchildren, great grandchildren and countless others who adopted Henry as their own â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dadâ&#x20AC;?. In 1956 Henry founded Nickel Bros., a well-respected family driven structural moving business still thriving today throughout BC and WA State.

All 5 of Henrys children and 13 grandchildren have worked in the family business along with many other family and friends through the 60 years of business. Henryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life of hard work and helping people in need had still left a void in his heart until in 1982 at the age of 58 he gave his life over to Jesus, his savior. Henry repented of his sins, was baptized by immersion in Jesus Name and a week later filled with the Holy Spirit speaking in other tongues! Henry walked with the Lord on earth for 32 years until his final breaths on July 16th at 1:15 PM when he began his walk with Jesus in person. Henry is predeceased by his son-in-law Gary MacDonald (husband of Beverley and father of Luke) and 6 of his siblings. Henry will forever be remembered for his generosity, work ethic, and wonderful sense of humorâ&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;&#x153;No peasâ&#x20AC;ŚDoctors ordersâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? All are invited to attend Abbotsford Evangelical Free Church at 33218 Marshall Rd, Abbotsford, BC for a public visitation at 10:00 AM, July 25th, 2015 with a service being held to commemorate his life at 11:00 AM, followed by a graveside committal at Maclure Road Mennonite Cemetery at 1:00 PM. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Henry are encouraged to Canuck Place Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospice in Abbotsford or the Dogwood Valley Camp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me Heavenward in Christ Jesus.â&#x20AC;?

V.I. Raiders will try to rise again Inbrief

FOOTBALL TEAM about to start year.

said he’s interested to see how another vet, Dexter Shea, will do in an increased role. Returnee Josh Paisley has been impressive at defensive halfback, but it’s conceivable he could be joined by four rookie starters. “They’re good back there, but it’s a tough place to be young,” Erdman said. Rookie Adam McDonald is the likely starting safety and the Raiders also look forward to seeing how Nanaimo’s Cole Virtanen, their most highly touted recruit, will fare in the DB corps. Erdman will handle defensive coordinator duties.

V.I. Raiders quarterback Liam O’Brien throws the football to a receiver during a drill at main camp earlier this month at Caledonia Park. The B.C. Football Conference season starts Saturday (July 25).

OFFENCE

The Raiders’ attack will be built around All-Canadian quarterback Liam O’Brien, who led the country in passing yards last year. His primary target will be Dustin Rodriguez, who will be featured more than ever before. “This is his year to shine…” said Erdman. “He’s going to be the man.” Arthur Fabbro and Taylor Flavel are other veterans in the receiving corps.

The head coach pointed out that special teams success comes through heart and discipline, things the Raiders can control. Matias Bueno returns as placekicker, and the Raiders will continue to use Rodriguez as punter, as they like his versatility to escape and be a threat for fakes. Rodriguez will also be the primary punt returner. Towle and Nick Johnson will return kickoffs. Mark Mueller is special teams coordinator. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Senior B T-men await opponent The senior B Nanaimo Timbermen look forward to the finals, no matter the opponent. The T-men, after defeating the Langley Warriors in three straight, were still awaiting the other semifinal winner at press time, as the Ladner Pioneers led the Royal City Capitals two games to one. The T-men are anxious to play, but benefiting from the time off. “Lacrosse being the physical sport it is, any rest you get on the body is always good,” said Mike Maughan, the team’s coach. The West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association finals weren’t scheduled at press time. Please visit www.nanaimobulletin.com/sports for information.

Senior A squad enjoys winning The senior A Nanaimo Timbermen finally had something to smile about last weekend, and they’ll keep chasing that feeling. The Western Lacrosse Association club plays its final home game of 2015 on Saturday (July 25) when it hosts the Burnaby Lakers at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena. Tickets will be available at the door. The T-men visited the Langley Thunder on Wednesday after press time.

will have chances to carry the ball. The offensive line is anchored by centre Ryan Dekker and fellow returnees Jordan Cundy and Terrek Bryant. Todd Hansen takes over as offensive coordinator.

On defence, there’s a lot of youth in the secondary, so the front seven will be asked to set the tone and be playmakers. The D line is shaping up to be a strength, led by end Quinton Bowles and tackle Nathan Warawa. The Raiders are high on rookie Parker Smith at nose tackle. The linebacking corps includes veteran leader Nigel Henry, and Erdman

The V.I. Raiders celebrated their 10th anniversary season last year, and now they get started on their next 10. The Raiders will begin finding out what’s next when the B.C. Football Conference regular season kicks off this Saturday (July 25) in Nanaimo. “We’re going to work hard and we’re going to bring it and we’re going to play to that final whistle…” said Jerome Erdman, the team’s new coach. “We can’t control if other teams have got more gifted athletes than us, but we can certainly control our work ethic and … our attitude.” Erdman said his players deserve to see results for the work they’re putting in. He said they’re a young, enthusiastic bunch. “With a young team there’s going to be a lot of unknowns, but that’s part of the fun,” he said. Here’s a look at the players who will be taking the field this Saturday:

WHY LATEX?

As a consumer in today’s marketplace I strive to purchase products that are made as close to home as I can get, items that are cleaner and greener, always with an eye on value. With over a quarter of a century in the sleep industry I’ve seen thousands of mattress fails and very few wins. One of those wins is good quality, natural, pure, Talalay latex which I get from Latex International (LI) who in my opinion produces the best product. side and medium on the other) with a 3” soft latex topper. This combination gives you the best of both worlds – supportive, and pressure relieving.

Here is a partial quote straight from LI on quality and purity: “Our Talalay Natural is the best latex being offered on today’s market. Our Talalay all natural formulation is made from 100% natural latex from the rubber tree and the only other properties added is needed for the vulcanization process. No latex foam in the market is completely made of all natural ingredients. All latex rubber needs additional sulfur, zinc oxide, and vulcanizing agents to be made into a usable form. LI also uses a natural, mineral reinforcing agent to improve the strength and durability of the product. On a volume basis, this material is less than 10% of the latex foam make up. Latex used is all natural latex. The product is washed after the vulcanization process to remove residual residues.”

Talalay vs. Memory foam. Of the top four mattress companies in the US, one spends more in annual advertising than the other 3 combined, and this company only makes memory foam beds. This is why we see so much hype about memory foam. While memory foam seems to be good at relieving pressure, it actually only works one dimension – you sink into it until you hit the firmer surface underneath. Latex is two-dimensional: it supports you while reducing pressure. At John’s our latex mattresses have a 6” medium and/or firm base (and yes, we can build you a mattress that is firm on one

Latex doesn’t sleep hot. “Too hot” is the biggest complaint I hear about memory foam. Memory foam requires body heat to collapse the foam cell structure in order to conform to your body curves; this collapse prevents air flow and traps body heat. This same process also creates a crater where you sleep, when you turn over the feeling is like rolling uphill leaving a hole behind. I’ve had many people tell me they wake up exhausted from this process. LI Latex is seven times more breathable than memory foam. Talalay latex is healthier. Our Talalay latex is harvested from rubber trees that create an inherently hypoallergenic, dust mite resistant, mold and mildew resistant sleep environment that doesn’t off-gas like as memory foams can. Latex lasts longer. I have a sample of latex that was in a client’s favorite chair for 50 years and is still in pretty good shape (better shape than me at 50)! Latex from LI has been proven to last 20 times more than leading memory foam. Come and talk to our sleep specialists about your sleep needs. You can email me directly anytime. john@johnsbedrooms.com
