Glenn Borgens, principal lightkeeper at Entrance Island, and assistant lightkeeper Toni Adams wave goodbye from the station, which has just been given heritage status by Parks Canada. TAMARA CUNNINGHAM/THE NEWS BULLETIN

Light the way Historic lighthouse at Entrance Island earns heritage status from Parks Canada BY TAMARA CUNNINGHAM THE NEWS BULLETIN

he bow of the NPA Eagle bobbed just close enough to the edge of Entrance Island for it to be an easy climb onto a barnacle-crusted ladder – the only access by sea to one of Canada’s newly recognized heritage lighthouses. “Watch out for the rock,” called out principal lightkeeper Glenn Borgens as the boat rocked close to the jagged wall. He stood at the top of the ladder in a green T-shirt and ball cap, a red derrick hanging in the background next to steps with “Welcome to Entrance” blazoned across them. Only about a half dozen people visit the lighthouse every year, which sits 5.5 nautical miles from Nanaimo Harbour on an island no larger than a hectare and surrounded by the choppy blue-green

of Georgia Strait’s inside passage. It’s become an iconic picture of British Columbia’s West Coast, with buildings covered in red tin roofs and white vinyl siding and a 12-metre red and white apple core lighthouse. But the light station is also an active navigational aid of the Canadian Coast Guard. It’s a role the station has held since a fish-oil light first shone in 1876. This summer, Entrance Island became one of 74 lighthouses across the country to get heritage status from Parks Canada. It’s been five years since the Department of Fisheries and Oceans declared nearly 1,000 lighthouses as surplus and indicated plans to divest the properties. In May, the list of heritage-status lighthouses was released under the Heritage Lighthouse Protection Act, with 21 in B.C. While the designation for Entrance Island is being seen as a good thing to preserve its charac-

ter, there’s also disappointment and concern for lighthouses that haven’t won the new status. Entrance Island’s assistant keeper Toni Adams is “thrilled to death” with the designation, believing its history and its safety value today are reasons for preserving the station, but she’s also sad other lighthouses have been taken down, she said. Ivan Bulic, a director of the Canadian Lightkeepers Association and Gabriola Museum board, sees it as a case of good news and bad news. While the government has responded by looking at how to preserve Canada’s lighthouses, the vast majority of the navigational aids haven’t been included in the act, including Point Atkinson near Vancouver and Victoria’s Race Rocks. Entrance Island is still functioning, so even in spite of the protection it would still be maintained.

The upcoming federal election will see a series of milestones: the combined NanaimoLadysmith riding, new election legislation and the longest campaign in more than 140 years. The writ dropped Sunday and voters take to the polls Oct. 19. The new electoral area will see redistribution of the former NanaimoAlberni and Nanaimo-Cowichan ridings, won by the Conservatives and NDP respectively, in 2011. Jean Crowder, Nanaimo-Cowichan MP, said having Nanaimo in a single riding is beneficial. “Now that Nanaimo is going to be represented by one member of Parliament, I think that’s better for Nanaimo,” said Crowder. “There was always confusion amongst people in Nanaimo about who was representing them, whether it was James [Lunney, Nanaimo-Alberni MP] or myself. “I know certainly when it came to events in the riding, it was like, ‘Do we invite both?’ ‘Whose riding is it in?’ So I think it’s going to be a lot better for Nanaimo to have one member of Parliament.” Lunney wasn’t able to respond by press time. The Fair Elections Act, which received royal assent in June 2014, contains language that limits candidate spending and could be advantageous to Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the ruling Conservatives, according to David Livingstone, chairman of political studies at Vancouver Island University. “What it sounds like to me is that it’s going to advantage the Conservatives right now because by starting the election so early, they apparently are able to tap into some money they otherwise wouldn’t be able to tap into if they’d started it later. “And because their fundraising has been so far ahead of the other two main parties, that puts them in a distinct advantage,” he said. The 11-week campaign could be risky for all parties, particularly the Conservatives, as events out of their control can occur, taking away from their message, said Livingstone, although such events can happen at any time. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Lantzville voters will select four new councillors By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN

Lantzville residents are off to the polls Saturday (Aug. 8) to restore the community’s decision-making power. Lantzville electors will cast votes in a byelection to fill four vacant seats. Twelve candidates are vying for a spot on council, and more than 100 electors have already made their choice in the first advance voting day last week. Advance voting was also held Wednesday, with the number of ballots coming in after press time. The District of Lantzville council has been operating below quorum and with limited decision-making power since May, when four politicians resigned with complaints of dysfunction, micromanagement and negative experiences. The Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development has allowed three of the once seven-member council to continue civic business until the byelection, but no strategic direction can be taken. Council also can’t make decisions with financial or legal liabilities for the district, including succession planning for Lantzville’s fire chief or the Village Commercial Core Improvement plan. New councillors will restore quorum. General voting day takes place from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Costin Hall in Lantzville. Ballots will be counted after the polls close. Newly elected councillors will swear their oath of office and start their term of office at a special council meeting at the Royal Canadian Legion on Aug. 31 at 7 p.m. For more information on voter eligibility and voting in the District of Lantzville byelection, please visit www.lantzville.ca. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Golf club workers still locked out

Nanaimo News Bulletin 3

Security helps guard against fire at landfill By Karl yu

By ChriS BuSh

The News BulleTiN

Nanaimo Golf Club’s workers continue to man their picket line more than three months after they were locked out for serving strike notice. Servers, bartenders, cooks, dishwashers, janitors and chef, more than two dozen people in all, were locked out April 24 after serving strike notice earlier that week over demands for improved wages and benefits. As of Wednesday, the two sides remained deadlocked over potential reprisals for workers who had crossed the pickets. “We had mediation planned for this week and the mediator cancelled because they’re not making any movement whatsoever,” said Shelly Ervin, Unite Here Local 40 negotiator. “They’re hung up on no reprisals for the workers that crossed and, of course, we’re not going to agree to that.” Ervin said the union also had to stop the club from using scab workers and has doubled members’ picket pay and provided full health coverage to help keep them on the line. Ash Chadha, general manager of the

Rosy Cannon, left, David Hannah, Vicky Sosnowski and Taj Parmar walk the picket line at Nanaimo Golf Club on Tuesday morning. Both sides remain deadlocked over scab worker reprisals in the dispute that started in April.

Nanaimo Golf Club, said in an e-mail to the News Bulletin the club contacted the mediator to restart negotiations last week, but the mediator advised against it because the union’s position remained unchanged. The lockout, imposed in response to strike notice that posed a risk of union members striking in the middle of serving an event, will remain in effect. “Job protection for the folks who did it on their own and crossed the picket line is, obviously, one of the

issues, but not the only outstanding issue,” Chadha said. “We have a number of issues outstanding, including the hourly wage rate increase.” He also said the Labour Relations Board ruled in late July that the club’s position to protect union workers who had crossed the pickets was “completely proper.” Taj Parmar, Nanaimo Golf Club chef, said some of the general public and members of other unions have also supported the workers by dropping off

grocery gift cards and food and walking the line with them, but the numbers on the line are dwindling as workers take other jobs or go to school. Eight workers remain on the pickets. “[We started with] 27, but there’s three scabs in there,” said Vicky Sosnowski, clubhouse server who has worked at the golf club for 16 years. Ervin said the lockout has caused the golf club to cancel weddings and other events over the last three months.

Shellfish-related illness prompts warning from disease control centre A surge in shellfish-related illness because of the hot summer weather has prompted the B.C. Centre for Disease Control to issue a warning to oyster lovers. The centre says 35 cases of a bacterial infection called Vibrio parahaemolyticus were reported in June and July – an unprecedented number.

The Regional District of Nanaimo has selected Securiguard to provide security to its Cedar Road landfill. Directors approved the contract at their July 28 regular meeting for a three-year deal at a total cost of $275,777. According to terms of the deal, a security guard will patrol the grounds from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m., seven days a week, including statutory holidays. It’s a standard contract and the attendant will guard against theft and other threats, according to Larry Gardner, regional district manager of solid waste. “We do need to protect our facilities and equipment and all that we do have out there, but actually the more significant basis for having security on in the evening is really fire,” said Gardner. “Landfill fires can be very serious. Typically if you get on them right away, they’re managed no problem. “There’s a far bigger risk with fire then there is with damage to equipment,” Gardner said. A request for proposals was issued in May and Securiguard was the successful bid out of three proponents. “[Securiguard] met all the requirements and they were the lowest bidder,” said Gardner. The contract started Saturday and runs until the end of July 2018. Illegal dumping will not be covered under the deal and Gardner said there haven’t been any issues with that over the last couple of years at the landfill.

Most people got sick from eating raw B.C. oysters served in restaurants, although some cases involved oysters that were self-harvested or bought at retail outlets. The bacteria occurs naturally in shellfish and their concentrations rise when water temperatures get warmer. Diarrhea is the most common

symptom from infection, but nausea, vomiting, fever, headache and bloody stools can also result. Symptoms last three days to a week and don’t usually require treatment. The BCCDC advises consumers to eat only cooked shellfish to destroy the bacteria and reduce the risk of illness.

Six people were sent to hospital after a rollover crash on the B.C. Day long weekend. The accident happened Saturday at about 2 p.m. on a wooded stretch of Quennell Road in Cedar, south of Nanaimo. When police arrived, passersby were already performing first aid on the injured. One man was unresponsive and pinned under the vehicle. All six occupants suffered injuries and two of the victims were airlifted to Victoria General Hospital. Cpl. Norm Smith, head of Nanaimo RCMP Traffic Services, said Wednesday the four victims taken to Nanaimo Regional General Hospital were recovering and listed in stable condition, but he had not received an update for the two victims flown to Victoria. Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman, said police are still looking into the crash and alcohol is being investigated as a contributing factor.

Lighthouse safeguards harbour From /1

“When you hear heritage protection and heritage designation, yeah it sounds great, and it was good that they did it and it’s good the 25 or so per cent have been saved, but in a way, the glass is a quarter full,” said Bulic, who says the rest of the lighthouses will either be left to rot, sold off or somehow lost. Entrance Island was commissioned in the 19th century as miners chased coal-rich seams in the Nanaimo region. The lighthouse was meant to safeguard the entrance to the harbour, which was notorious for fog, and would protect the region’s shipping interests, Parks Canada documents show. Today, it’s solar

power that runs the automatic lighthouse, but the lightkeepers still perform much of their same role as the eyes and ears on the water. Weather is recorded every three hours for the Canadian Coast Guard and seaplane companies call for updates on cloud ceiling. Boaters are also carefully watched.

It also continues to be a visual aid for mariners even in the age of GPS, electronic navigation and radio communication, says Bulic, who adds that the function it performs is still

“extremely valuable.” Borgens considered the meaning behind the new designation as he walked the path from his home to his assistant’s house on the far side of the island. It’s pretty special out here, he said. “How many times in your life do you see something that’s been around since 1876? Always got to tear it down and start again and put new stuff up,” he said, adding they now know the lighthouse will be here into perpetuity. “Whether they keep us here or not is another story.” news@nanaimobulletin.com

EDITORIAL

Long election unpredictable

If this election campaign is a sprint to the finish, then it’s a slow and steady one. The long weekend marked the start of what will be Canada’s longest federal election campaign in more than 140 years. Like it or not, all of us have some part to play during this 11-week election-thon, whether it be as voters or non-voters, candidates, canvassers, organizers, volunteers, scrutineers, journalists, bloggers, news junkies or even cynics. A campaign this long will be more expensive for taxpayers because of Elections Canada costs and tax rebates to political parties. But if the final vote results in good government and smart spending decisions moving forward, then it’s impossible to place a dollar value on it. We understand some of the cynicism – we’re subjected to year-round attack ads already, and can now expect them to further offend our eyes, ears and sensibilities. But we like to believe that there’s more to an election campaign than partisan propaganda. The issues matter. So do the party platforms and promises, the quality of the candidates, the debates and the hustings. Charisma, catchphrases and momentum cannot be underestimated. We in the media love politics, for good and ill, and are fascinated by these grand social experiments that come along every few years. There’s a political science to winning an election, and some of what’s to come is predictable, but a lot of it isn’t. In some ways, our choices are limited – it’s between them, them, them or the other guys. But this election is not all about them; it’s also about us. The parties will try to appeal to our Canadian identity, pocketbooks and priorities, then we’ll be the ones who will choose where we’re headed as a country, how we’re getting there, and with whom. And we’ve got a long time to take a good, long look. The Nanaimo News Bulletin is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry. The council considers complaints from the public about the conduct of member newspapers. Directors oversee the mediation of complaints, with input from both the newspaper and the complaint holder.

It seems to me that was tried with aluminum ship fabrication, and it didn’t work out too well. For David Keane, president of the B.C. LNG Alliance, the question is how many large LNG projects, pipelines and all, can be managed at the same time as the Site C dam is being built. It was skilled labour shortages, and particularly a shortage of supervisors, that caused Australia to lose some of its projects. Keane said all LNG proponents here want to use as much local labour as they can, because it’s less expensive and it builds local support. And he disagrees that B.C. is a sweet deal for the industry. Among other things, pipelines have to be built across two mountain ranges. Not only that, B.C. producers would pay an LNG income tax, which is a first in the history of the industry. Add to that PST, GST, payroll taxes, municipal taxes and federal and provincial corporate income taxes. Add aboriginal revenue sharing, and we have a deal. ◆ Tom Fletcher is columnist and legislature reporter for Black Press.

Lantzville can correct messy situation To the Editor,

Let’s get it right this time, Lantzville. Lantzville voters have a rare opportunity in a few days to correct a very messy and unusual situation through a ‘do-over’ of last year’s municipal election. No fewer than four councillors elected last November abandoned their voters and their oaths of office

this spring and resigned, declaring the newly elected council dysfunctional. The shock of a majority of members of council walking out on the folks who’d elected them was a needless embarrassment to the whole community, and has stalled important Lantzville business decisions. The upside of this action was to jar many local residents into action. For

the Saturday (Aug. 8) byelection, a dozen people will compete for the four vacated positions on council. Lantzville residents now have an opportunity to refresh and reinvigorate our council. Let’s take a careful look at every candidate’s positions, and this time, let’s not blow it. Vote as you please, but please vote.

Water-bottling company is sucking British Columbia dry, figuratively To the Editor,

Re: Nestlé protest just doesn’t hold water, Opinion, July 23. Nestlé pays a toonie and a quarter for a million litres of our B.C. fresh water, pours those litres into plastic bottles and sells them to B.C. residents who owned the water in the first place but now have to buy Nestlé’s bottled water because their wells have run dry. But in the equation there’s the necessary middleman like the store that had a manager’s special last month of $4.99 on cases of Nestlé water trapped in plastic bottles that used to be bubbling free in our mountain streams. For every case of that bottled water sold, Nestlé can now legally buy two more million litres of B.C. water because the Liberals in Victoria say that’s just fine with them. Maybe that’s a bit harsh – the middleman needs his cut so it’s $2.50 for the store and $2.50 for Nestlé. But that’s still another million litres of

Edwin Turner Nanaimo

To the Editor,

Re: Nestlé protest just doesn’t hold water, Opinion, July 23. As a representative of WaterWealth, I sincerely apologize to the columnist if he took the words “suck B.C. dry” literally and mistook the opening comment for the whole conversation. Feedback we have received indicates that the public went well beyond that opening comment to

understand the broader issues that the petition was about – primary among them being to ensure that the Water Sustainability Act is sufficiently funded to be fully implemented. The review of rental rates under the act, that the petition sought and that the province promised even before the petition was delivered, is but one more step in the ongoing work to ensure that the public’s voice is heard in development of strong regulations for the Water Sustainability Act, the first major update of B.C. water law in over a century.

To the Editor,

Re: Nestlé protest just doesn’t hold water, Opinion, July 23. The columnist may have missed the main point as to why people are protesting in the first place. I agree with him wholeheartedly; let’s fill our water bottles and put them in the fridge. “Fight the corporations,” as he says. The argument, however, between Nestlé and the public isn’t centred around having enough drinking water for everyone; the reckless ability and power these big companies have goes far beyond what little power the public has. I’m not arguing that Nestlé should reduce its outputs, but it should be paying much more for the privileged access to water. The ‘protest’ against Nestlé is really a protest at how much our resources can be exploited by big companies: regardless of whether or not Nestlé does “suck B.C. dry.”

BY NICHOLAS PESCOD THE NEWS BULLETIN

t was late 2012 when local entertainment promoter Tina Coldwell found out her son, Ben Ruotsalainen, had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. “I knew he had depression, but I didn’t realize how serious it was,” Coldwell said. At the time, Ruotsalainen, who once worked at Mambo’s Pizza, was living in Alberta with his wife and young son. Coldwell figured he was just dealing with stress. “He was married and young and having the pressures of that and making a living,” Coldwell said. “I thought he was just immature and negligent and just wanted to move back to the Island.” On the final day of December and some three weeks after being diagnosed as bipolar, Ruotsalainen committed suicide. He was 26. “It was totally out of the blue,” Coldwell said. Nearly two years after Ruotsalainen’s death, Mambo’s Pizza owner Marc Fillion decided to hold a 20th anniversary celebration party for the pizza shop and turned to Coldwell for help booking musicians. The two created the Slice of Life Block Party, which took place last August and raised over $1,000 for the Vancouver

In 2005, Trice was shot in back of the head the while driving with his girlfriend on the Lodge Freeway in Michigan.

Symphony goes seaside ISLAND EXPRESS BUS

ANNUAL EVENT to be held at Maffeo sutton Park on saturday (Aug. 8).

The Best Scheduled Bus Service on Vancouver Island

NANAIMO - VICTORIA NANAIMO - COMOX VALLEY NANAIMO - CAMPBELL RIVER

By TAMARA CUNNINGHAM The News BulleTiN

When an outdoor symphony strikes up its first notes this weekend, it’ll be the sound of a comeback. Thousands of people are expected to converge on Maffeo Sutton Park this Saturday (Aug. 8) for Symphony by the Sea, featuring 10-year-old child-prodigy pianist Kevin Chen, Irish dancers and the event’s first full symphony in five years. The free event, held in the Lions Pavilion, has come full circle since the first performance 17 years ago. The summertime symphony began in 1998, morphing from Symphony on the Green on Gabriola Island into Nanaimo’s Symphony in the Harbour before it folded in 2010 because of bad weather. The whole idea petered out after that, according to Calvin Dyck, violinist and concert master, who wasn’t prepared to see the outdoor symphony die. Not only was it one of his favourite events of the year, but he said it’s a great way to introduce symphonic music to the public. With a small budget and musicians who were willing to accept reduced pay, he set out to put on a strings-only Symphony by the Sea in 2013. It was a success, he said. Last year, the symphony event was expanded to brass and strings, attracting 4,000 people, and this week, the symphony returns in full. “It’s right back to a big production,” said Dyck, Symphony by the Sea’s director.

Calvin Dyck is the director for Symphony by the Sea, which will be held on Saturday (Aug. 8).

Five thousand people are anticipated to head to Nanaimo’s waterfront park for the performance. There will be nostalgia, beauty, energy and fun – and even some surprises, said Dyck, who promises a range of music, from classical to jazz. “It’s a chance to come out and test drive the symphony experience,” he said. The free event begins at 6 p.m. It will include Canadian tenor Ken Lavigne, Dyck and the O’Connor-O’Brien School of Irish Dance. Parking will be limited so it’s recommended people arrive early. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Its humble 135 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque being produced from its 1.4L, MultiAir Turbo four-cylinder might look mediocre on paper, but it brings this car to life. And of the three available engines offered, the base, naturally aspirated 1.4L MultiAir, the Turbo, or the Turbo from the Abarth version (160 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque), the 500 Turbo (middle child of engines) is my top pick. It is spirited, peppy and makess driving fun. It’s enough horsepower too play with, but not enough to get into too much trouble. Adding to the fun factor is w the introduction of an all-new uAisin heavy-duty six-speed auual lover to tomatic transmission. A manual the core, I quite liked the new addition to the fold.

Diesel Golf sets fuel mileage record by Keith Morgan

The 2015 Volkswagen Golf TDI Clean Diesel, part of the family of vehicles that won the 2015 North American Car of the Year, has set a new Guinness World Record. The distinction is for achieving the “lowest fuel consumption – 48 U.S. contiguous States for a non-hybrid car” with an impressive fuel economy of 34.5 litres per 100 kilometres. Travelling 13,251km around the United States in 16 days on $294.98 US of Shell diesel fuel, the Golf beat the previous mark of 3.01 L/100 km. “[It] is a remarkable accomplishment, and solid proof of the efficiency and fuel economy of Volkswagen’s TDI clean diesel vehicles,” said Michael Horn, president and CEO of Volkswagen Group of America. “Whether on a long road trip, or even in daily commuting, the great mileage and long range of our TDI models is a pure convenience factor that few other vehicles on sale can match. It’s a simple formula: less stop, more go.” The record-setting Golf TDI departed from Volkswagen of America’s headquarters in Herndon, Va., and returned there to claim the record. Wayne Gerdes, automo-

tive journalist and founder of cleanmpg.com, was the primary driver. His co-driver was Bob Winger, an electronics engineer long involved in energy and conservation projects. Gerdes is an expert hypermiler who has set mileage records in more than 100 vehicles. In 2013, Gerdes set the previous record in a 2013 Volkswagen Passat TDI. “Volkswagen’s TDI clean diesel engines are just

amazing,” said Gerdes. “I don’t think people realize the potential mileage you can get from them. In our experience, it is possible to get truly impressive mileage results by using just a few simple fuel-saving techniques.” The 2015 Golf TDI uses Volkswagen’s advanced turbocharged and directinjection clean diesel engine to achieve an EPA estimated

highway fuel economy of 19.1L/100km when equipped with the six-speed manual transmission. For the attempt, the Golf TDI used Shell ultra-low-sulfur diesel fuel and Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max tires which feature a fuel-saving tread compound to help increase fuel efficiency and offer confident all-season traction. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

The mid-1970s were the dark ages of automotive performance, known for low compression, emission controls and generally excruciating dullness. The Germans didn’t get that memo and, building on years of racing experience using exhaust-driven turbochargers, Porsche introduced in 1975 the outlandish 911 Turbo Carrera, otherwise Thursday, August 6, 2015

Porsche 911 Turbo celebrates anniversary known by the internal project number ‘930.’ Porsche used nearly as crude a setup as the turbo employed by the Corvair a decade earlier, and early 930s were very much an on-off proposition with turbo lag aplenty. But with 0-60 times of around five seconds, the 930 would put most muscle cars to shame. Many owners got caught by surprise by boost coming on while entering a corner – lift off the gas or brake and the rear-engine weight bias plus physics would take care of the rest. A fair number of dentists and pro athletes wrapped 930s around trees. The 40th anniversary has been preceded by a dramatic upswing in 930 prices.

Beefs & bouquets BOUQUET To the best boss ever, Esther. You are kind, patient, understanding and generous. I am lucky to have you as my employer and friend.

BOUQUET To Blair and Colleen of Mid Island Co-Op on Bowen Road for going above and beyond with their customer service. Very much appreciated.

BEEF To the early morning walkers and whistlers using neighbourhood public access lanes. Tone down the volume, please, as some of us are still sleeping.

BEEF To the mean-spirited vandal who trespassed to cut the hose to our sprinkler. Our small, new lawn needs water or it will die and it is expensive to replace it. We only water when allowed. If we didn’t have to water, we wouldn’t.

BOUQUET To Gina of Gina’s Lawn and Garden Maintenance for the excellent job in my daughter’s yard. She cuts, rakes and hauls it away. BEEF To all the businesses in Nanaimo and all across Canada. Can’t we get a standard for writing the date? The order of the day, month and year varies so much it’s confusing. BOUQUET To the father and son duo, The Big Mess, who gave us such an enjoyable free concert at the duck pond in Bowen Park. The energy and enthusiasm put out was only surpassed by their talent. BEEF Let’s all pray for the guy at the vacuum store that he learns his trade and can help people with correct information. BOUQUET To all the staff and nurses of Nanaimo Seniors Village for your wonderful, kind and compassionate care during our mother’s stay with you. She loved you all. BEEF To those who, in spite of news stories about children dying in cars or being ‘carnapped,’ persist in leaving children alone in cars – even just for a minute. BOUQUET To the young woman at Harbour Air. I ‘lost’ my Australian friend and she called around to the different airlines and found her at a different float plane terminal, then got a message to her that I was on my way. BEEF To the U.S. presidential hopeful who has forgotten the ‘11th commandment’ – thou shalt not disparage fellow Republicans in public.

BOUQUET To the young lady on the Horseshoe Bay to Nanaimo ferry who helped our special needs son who was having difficulties. Thank you so much – you are truly a special person. BEEF To the very irresponsible owner of the German shepherd mix. Your lack of the proper mindset almost cost your dog its life. BOUQUET To Turley’s Florist. My husband bought me a beautiful bouquet of fresh-cut flowers for my birthday. I got to enjoy them for more than two weeks. BEEF To the continuing dirty tricks that the politicians use when they are trying to get elected. BOUQUET To the person who helped me when I fell outside McDonald’s and to whoever turned in my glasses that I dropped. I was not feeling well and really appreciated your help. BEEF The telephone scammers are at it again, this time telling you that Windows computers has a refund for you. It’s a scam – Windows will never call you for any reason. BOUQUET To the RCMP officer who saved the German shepherd mix. BEEF To neighbours who love a tidy yard and driveway for themselves, but blatantly leafblow all their yard waste onto the street so it’s everyone else’s problem. Can somebody explain the rationale?

BEEF Could y’all please stop doing the gawking gooby thing on my street? Yes, we had house fires. Yes, it’s an awful sight. Are you curious or simply looking to loot? BOUQUET To the guys at north end Great Canadian Oil Change for being so helpful. BEEF To the person who took a yellow and a blue piano book from inside the piano seat. These were a gift from a deceased longtime friend. Please return them. BOUQUET To staff, care aides and nurses at Nanaimo Seniors Village for the kindness and compassion shown during our mother’s stay and on her recent passing. We feel privileged that Mom had you in her life.

BOUQUET To the people who empty our green bins – a most unpleasant job in the hot weather. BEEF To bicycle clothing manufacturers who make cycling gear in sizes that only fit skinny, pencil-necked guys. Why does a guy who wears an extra large shirt have to order XXL or XXXL, if those sizes are even available? A lot of big guys are riding bikes.

BOUQUET To Loyal Nanaimo Bathtub Society, volunteers, participants, Nanaimo Port Authority. Wonderful to have the start and finish of the race downtown. Looking forward to the 50th anniversary next year.

BOUQUET To Classic Home Improvements for the wonderful job they did on our bathroom and kitchen renos. Special thanks to Serge, Matthew and Rick. They went the extra mile. BEEF To the city for putting bylaws in place, like no smoking in parks, but yet no signage and you are not even around to enforce it. BOUQUET To music trivia Jim for putting on such a great show for first responders. You and your co-host, Kristi, have made a lot of friends and a lot of people very happy.

BEEF To people who flick cigarettes out car windows. An older male flicking his butt on a sidewalk down Bowen Road. Another older male sitting on dry grass smoking. All these incidents were of the mature group.

BEEF To the person who dropped a cigarette butt along the Fire Road up in the Morrell Sanctuary. The charred gravel suggests it was still hot. We are all fortunate that you did not start a major fire. BOUQUET To the staff in the rapid admissions and in PES. You were nothing but kind and helpful when I tried to end my life. Thank you Claire and Joe especially. BEEF To the federal Liberal leader for wanting to form a coalition government with the NDP. Our federal Conservatives and Liberals are just about the same thing, while the NDP is something completely different.

FAMILY ANNOUNCEMENTS

DEATHS

It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of Bob Cook. He passed away peacefully on Sunday July 19, 2015, at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital at 85 years of age. Born on February 12, 1930 in Edmonton, Alberta, he moved to Nanaimo in 1979 and was a proud member of the local business community for many years (Captain Cook Building Supplies.) The last 18 years of his life were happily spent on Mudge Island, B.C. He will be sadly missed by his family and his many friends. No services will be held as Bob donated his remains to UBC Medical School. A private gathering will be held at a later date. FRANK “FRANCIS” EDWARD OAKLEY PALMER July 27th, 1932 - June 7th, 2015 It is with sadness that the Palmer family of Vancouver Island announces the passing of long time Nanaimo resident Frank Palmer. Predeceased by his brother John and nephew Eric (both of Campbell River) Frank is survived by his loving wife of 54 years, Irene, his two sons: Mark (Patty) and Matthew (Liz), four granddaughters: Erin, Shannon, Sophie and Charlotte, and three sisters: Mary, Sheila and Jenny. Growing up in Nanaimo his younger years were filled with countless expeditions to Newcastle Island, swimming in the Millstone River, and fishing the kelp beds off Hudson Rocks and Five Fingers. After obtaining his teaching degree from UBC in 1955, and marrying his sweetheart (Irene Lopaschuk) in 1961, Frank spent his entire career working as a mathematics teacher and student counsellor at Woodlands School (Junior Secondary and later High School). Frank was known for encouraging those students that had a plan in life but he never gave up on those that needed a little extra guidance. While raising his family in Hammond Bay, Frank enjoyed fishing steelhead and cuts on the Little Q, Englishman, and Nanaimo Rivers. Many a summer was spent exploring, hiking, and camping in B.C.’s spectacular back-country. In addition to his outdoor activities Frank cherished spending time with all his family, he enjoyed coaching badminton, and he was always enthusiastic to learn about a new piece of local history through the Nanaimo Historical Society. Frank attended Saint James Anglican Church for many years, and more recently The Light of Christ Church. Frank saw enough of the world to consider himself travelled but no earthly force could ever persuade him to hang his hat anywhere else other than in his beloved hometown of Nanaimo. Frank’s jovial mood, frequent use of colorful sayings, and propensity to strike up a friendly conversation with anyone who happened to cross his path will not fade easily from our memories. The family wishes to extend our sincere gratitude to the staff at Woodgrove Manor and all the health care workers for the kindness and care they provided to Frank over this past year and a half. A service for Frank will be held on Saturday, August 15th at the Generations Church – 1300 Princess Royal Avenue, Nanaimo. The service will start at 1:00 pm, with a casual reception to follow afterwards. In lieu of flowers a donation to the Loaves & Fishes Community Food Bank would be appreciated.

Larry Frederick Hughes April 1, 1955 July 29, 2015 It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Larry Frederick Hughes. As a young man, Larry loved to ice skate and play baseball. He enjoyed working at the Civic Arena, and installing furnaces with his father, as well as salmon fishing from his father’s boat. He was a versatile man and held many different jobs; bartending at the Oxy for a number of years, driving a cab for AC Taxi, and working on the new Island Highway as a concrete truck driver along with his pump truck.

HAMILTON,

DR. JAMES ARTHUR VICTOR (HAMISH) January 7, 1919 ~ July 27, 2015

t is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Hamish at the age of 96 at the Nanaimo Travellers Lodge. He was predeceased by his first wife Ruth and his brother John Maxwell (Mac) Hamilton in Scotland. He leaves to mourn his loss his loving wife Beryl of 37 years, much loved daughters Claire in Vancouver, Pauline (Zane) in Edmonton, Carol (John) in Nanaimo, and Glenda (Henri) also of Nanaimo, Stepson Douglas Harding in Singapore, and stepdaughter Jill Gordon in Vancouver, plus 8 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren. Born in Dalserf, Scotland Hamish attended Glasgow University where he earned his F.R.F.P.S. in medicine, and then received his F.R.C.S. from Edinburgh University. He served in the army as a medic in W.W.2 and later on emigrated to Canada with his family in 1952 where he got his Canadian F.R.C.S in Rockliffe, Ontario and was Surgeon in Charge in the R.C.A.F. from 1952 – 1955. Hamish and his family escaped the Ontario winters and moved to Nanaimo as a General Surgeon where he joined the practice of Drs. Maneely and Brown and later was one of the founders of the Caledonian Clinic with Drs. Baldwin, Howey, and Dudley. He was Chief Director of Surgery at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital until his forced retirement at the age of 63 due to a back injury. Hamish was an avid golfer, having played as a youngster with his parents and older brother in Scotland, and played until his 88th year when his back injury was instrumental in his retirement. Hamish was a sports fan, and enjoyed watching hockey, football and tennis on T.V. until the last few weeks before his passing. He belonged to the Nanaimo Yacht Club and the Gyro Club for many years and also enjoyed woodworking in his shed, making hanging baskets, window boxes and patio furniture. With the help of his good friend and neighbor Maury Loudoun he designed our house on top of the hill and had many happy times with friends and wonderful neighbours over the years. Many thanks to Dr. Beth Hepburn, and all the kind and caring staff of Nanaimo Travellers Lodge, who helped to make his life easier during the 10 months that he was there. They truly are dedicated to the care of their patients and their families. There will be no service at Hamish’s request but a family get together will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Nanaimo Hospital Foundation, The Salvation Army or the Alzheimer Society would be greatly appreciated.

AUCTION It is with deep mourning that we announce the passing of Peter Christopher Wilson. Peter passed away peacefully on July 21 at the age of 59. Survived by his partner, Jean Priest; children: Rebecca, Andrew and Katrina Wilson, step daughter: Nicole Abbot; grandchildren: Grace and Megan Abbot and Gabriel Herman; and siblings: Neil Wilson and Pam (Russ) Watters. Peter was born Ross Francis Whiteduck in Kirkland Lake ON and was adopted at birth by Alex and Betty Wilson. He grew up in Haileybury, ON and at age 16 he hitchhiked across the country to Nanaimo BC to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;go loggingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. After suffering a devastating knee injury he changed professions slightly and for the last 35 years Peter was a blaster in both urban and residential settings. Peter identified himself as an alcoholic; and through strong character and resolve was sober for the last 34 years of his life. He was an active AA member and contributed to the sobriety of many people. Peter will always be remembered for his keen intellect and his piercing blue eyes. He possessed a profound intolerance for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;stupidityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and had an ability to bring laughter to friends and family and anyone he met with his quirky way of seeing life. Peter had an endless supply of stories, jokes and anecdotes collected over the many years he worked in numerous bush camps and job sites. A Celebration of Life will be held on August 8th at 2:00pm at the Westside Bible Church at 3307 Wishart Road in Victoria. Condolences can be made at www.carefuneral.com

Raiders hang on and defeat rival Rebels Quickfacts I BLOCKED FIELD GOAL allows V.I. to hang on.

THIS ARTICLE was first published Monday at www.nanaimobulletin. com, along with other action photos from the game.

BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

The V.I. Raiders, without their all-star quarterback, had just enough to defeat the Westshore Rebels. The Raiders edged the Rebels 23-21 on Saturday night at Langford’s Westhills Stadium. The home team tried for a short field goal with less than two minutes to go in the game, but V.I.’s Nigel Henry blocked the kick and the Raiders were able to hang on. “We knew they’d bring it tough for us because it’s been a rivalry ever since we started in the league,” said Henr y. “We knew they’d play us harder than anyone else and they did and it made it an exciting game, I guess.” Jerome Erdman, Raiders coach, clutched his chest afterward and joked about needing to check himself into a walk-in clinic. “We did what we had to do to win. It was an ugly win,” Erdman said. “I think you’ve got to give credit to Westshore … when you get these rivalry games, you throw out what happened the week before. They came to play.” The Raiders were missing pivot Liam O’Brien, out with an undisclosed injury. Brody Taylor got the start and led the offence to touchdowns

on the first two drives of the first quarter, but neither he nor backup QB Dustin Rodriguez completed many passes the rest of the night. The Raiders leaned on running back Nathan Berg, who responded with 198 rush yards.

V.I.’s defence surrendered 365 passing yards, but held when it needed to. “It’s good that they don’t panic,” Erdman said. “They move on and then we change the football coverages a bit and change the defence a bit

and it was bend but don’t break.” Taylor opened the scoring on a one-yard TD plunge and Berg had touchdowns of five yards and three yards in the first half as the Raiders built a 23-12 halftime lead.

The Rebels scored midway through the fourth quarter to get within two points, but missed a 45-yard field goal attempt, then had a 16-yard attempt blocked. “It was just the middle push…” Erdman said. “We’ll just pin our ears back and rush hard through the gaps and hopefully something opened up, and something did.” Taylor finished the game 6-for-16 for 93 yards and Rodriguez was 2-for-6 for 18 yards. Defensively, Alex Eberling and Josh Paisley had five tackles each, Tristan Muir had three tackles and two knockdowns and Max Baldam had an interception. James Smith had two sacks, Quinton Bowles had one and a half and Dexter Shea had one. GAME ON … The V.I.

Pirates end year in second BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

The Nanaimo Pirates were pretty good at provincials, but they weren’t quite championship calibre. The Hub City Paving Pirates were runners-up at the B.C. Premier Baseball League championships this past weekend in Victoria, losing 18-7 to the North Shore Twins in the final. Nanaimo won two out of three games in the round robin, then won Sunday morning’s semifinal to earn the right to play for a title. “It was a lot of fun,” said Doug Rogers, Pirates manager. “It would have been nice to finish it off winning the last game of the year, but that’s baseball, it happens.” The Pirates’ championship hopes unravelled in the third inning against the Twins. North Shore, already leading 3-2, batted around twice in that inning and put 13 runs on the board before Nanaimo could manage three outs. “It looked like it was going to go back and forth after the first couple innings, but that big inning, it just deflated us,” Rogers said.

Local politician and Paralympic gold medallist Michelle Stilwell is getting ready for her next race. The Canadian Paralympic Committee and Athletics Canada announced last week that Stilwell will be part of the national team at the Parapan Am Games, starting Friday (Aug. 7) in Toronto. “This honour is something I will cherish,” said Stilwell, Parksville-Qualicum MLA, in a press release. “It marks the first time I will have the privilege to represent my country at a major international competition being held on Canadian soil. The thrill to compete in front of my fellow Canadians will be a highlight of my athletic career.”

Bomb Squad team features lineup with explosive ability The Bomb Squad fastpitch team hopes it will be bombs away at Westerns. The mid-Island squad won the Softball B.C. U21 provincial championship last month in the Fraser Valley and begins play at the Western Canadian championships on Thursday (Aug. 6). The Bomb Squad got used to winning at provincials, going 7-1 over the three-day tournament including 4-0 on the final day. Coach Todd Spracklin said his team was on the field from 10:30 a.m. until 6 p.m. that day. “You had to win – you lose, you’re head-

ing to the ferry. So they had to keep playing hard and win. And it was very hot in Surrey,” he said. Before every game there was a coin flip to determine the home team, and every time the Bomb Squad won the toss, they elected to bat first to put the pressure on the other team. It worked in the final, as Nanaimo jumped to a lead and secured a 7-3 win against the Cloverdale Fury. “They played well, they played as a team and came through,” Spracklin said. Westerns are being held at Surrey’s Softball City. sports@nanaimobulletin.com
