City cooks up licensing process for food trucks
Election race
Green Party candidate Paul Manly, left, Conservative candidate Mark MacDonald, NDP candidate Sheila Malcolmson and Liberal candidate Tim Tessier debate aboriginal issues Monday at an all-candidates’ meeting at the Nanaimo Association for Community Living building downtown.

BY TAMARA CUNNINGHAM THE NEWS BULLETIN
More city parks and parking spaces will open up to food truck entrepreneurs if Nanaimo officials are on board with a new licensing process. The city has cooked up a process for food truck licences, with potential new fees and locations for entrepreneurs to serve up fare. It’s all geared to encourage culinary tourism and a more vibrant downtown, while making it easier for food vendors to apply for licences and find a place to set up, a report shows. Until now, food trucks haven’t been able to set up roadside and require a licence-use agreement to be in parks. Come next year that could change with a process that would open up select city streets to food trucks for the first time in downtown Nanaimo, the hospital district and Duke Point. Food trucks and trailers could also set up in neighbourhood parks like Harewood Centennial and May Richards Bennett Pioneer Park, or take fare to Merle Logan turf field and the Brechin Boat Ramp. Maffeo Sutton Park, which currently allows for one truck, could see up to four vendors, but options hinge on a review of the park’s master plan. The proposal, which is still in the approval process, would also scrap the park licenceuse agreement, allowing food trucks one $790 licence to set up in any park, parking lot or street stall open to vending. Food trailers will pay $665 to set up in parks and parking lots. There’s also a $150 charge to hook into city services in parks and vendors have to be 25 metres away from restaurants. Coun. Ian Thorpe, chairman of the Parks and Recreation Commission, calls the process a good first step. The city has opened designated locations with a process to apply for those spots, but if there are other spots vendors think are better, those can be looked at in the future, he said. The commission recently endorsed the proposal, which still must pass through the planning and transportation committee before it can be recommended to city council. See ‘ROOM’ /4

Pacific trade deal faces mixed reaction
I
CANDIDATES AND local business owners respond to partnership. BY KARL YU THE NEWS BULLETIN
A Nanaimo-area farmer is concerned about the Trans-Pacific Partnership between Canada and Pacific Rim countries. The partnership is a free-trade deal – similar to the North American Free Trade Agreement – among the other 11 countries, including the U.S., Japan, Australia and Chile. It has provisions to relax or even do away with tariffs that could affect a number of industries in Nanaimo, including forestry and agriculture. Barbara Ebell, co-owner of Nanoose Edibles Organic Farm, said based on numbers from Statistics Canada, $5.6 billion per year of foreign food is delivered and sold on Vancouver Island.
“If you extrapolate that to what would happen, if not only was it coming from the States, which it mostly is now by probably 95 per cent, it’s going to come from any country who wishes to sell their food into Vancouver Island and for sure it’s going to be cheaper. “So that means that the Vancouver Island farmer, who is a big-time landowner, is going to have no market,” said Ebell. The agreement was discussed at an all-candidates’ meeting at Vancouver Island University Tuesday. Mark MacDonald, Conservative candidate, said the partnership “is a tremendous deal” that was done by people looking after the country’s interests. We live in a global world and have to have access to these markets, he said. Tim Tessier, Nanaimo-Ladysmith Liberal candidate, said his party encourages trade, but only when done in Canada’s best interests. A deal can’t be signed that saddles this generation with mistakes.
Paul Manly, Green Party candidate, expressed concern about investorstate sections of the deal. Manly said there are provisions that allow foreign corporations to sue the government if Canadian laws and policies affect profit. If the deal is truly fair trade and good for Canada, Sheila Malcolmson, NDP candidate, said her party would support it. However, it was negotiated in secret and making decisions in the middle of a campaign is not right, nor transparent, she said. Andre Sullivan, Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation board chairman, said the corporation is generally for global trade partnerships, but not all details of this partnership are known. “We know at a high level that it opens up our exports to new markets with the downside of opening up our markets to new imports, but in general most trade agreements benefit the economy,” said Sullivan. – with files from Greg Sakaki reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Report reflects community health
I
VItAl SIgNS gives grades to aspects of Nanaimo. By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN
The Nanaimo Foundation released its second annual Vital Signs report Tuesday. The report focuses on 10 areas that indicate the vitality and overall health of the community, using data compiled with help from Community Foundations of Canada, the Centre for the Study of Living and Statistics Canada and other local, provincial and national sources, plus responses from residents to an online survey. T h e re p o r t c o m p a re s the compiled statistics to responses, given in letter grades, from Nanaimo residents in an online survey on how people perceive such areas as safety and security, the gap between rich and poor, education and health and wellness. The more than 600 respondents gave a C-minus grade, for instance, on housing in Nanaimo, a B-minus on culture and a C-plus on the local environment. “We don’t do the report really with any anticipation of what might come out of it,� said Tim Mawdsley, Nanaimo
Foundation chairman. “We were a little surprised at the lower grades because there are a lot of positives in here, but we can also see where the data has identified, ‘this needs some focus,’ and that’s what it’s all about, a celebration as well as, ‘this needs focus.’� Signy Madden, United Way Central and Northern Vancouver Island executive director, noted a six-per cent, year-toyear uptick in youth violent crime, which she said is concerning when Nanaimo’s overall crime rate is falling. “Not that crime is always related to mental health issues, but we’re seeing across the board as social service providers that there’s more young people that are suffering depression,� Madden said. “Anxiety is a big one, and so a lot of what United Way is funding this year and funding a lot more of next year, is how do we support teens? How do we support young people so they’re getting treatment or they’ve got peer supports?� John Horn, city social planner, noted rental housing is cheaper in Nanaimo, compared to Victoria or Vancouver, but the report also brought to light that renters here pay a higher percentage of their incomes to rent than in other cities. “There’s two stories going on in parallel,� Horn said. “One is that we’re in relatively good

shape compared to our big city neighbours ‌ but also recognizing that maybe the wages in our community are not as high as in Vancouver and Victoria so that we have a lot of folks who are struggling to pay the rent in Nanaimo even though it is cheaper.â€? Mawdsley said the report is for everyone and finds a wide range of uses with various agencies, including the United Way, to direct attention to specific issues. The report also helps raise awareness about the foundation and the services it offers to the community. “It’s great data for the Nanaimo Foundation, as well, to help steer our donors as well and steer where our money is going,â€? he said.

“The feeling generally is that we’d like the city to be more friendly to the idea of food trucks and make the licensing process a bit easier,” said Thorpe. “We’re seeing this is quite a popular trend across municipalities and cities, that food trucks are sort of a fun, different way of serving food to customers.” Corry Hostetter, executive director of the Downtown Nanaimo Business Improvement Association, hasn’t seen the new process, but said the city seems interested in making sure the policy works for everybody. While there’s room for food trucks, it also depends on the policies, criteria and placement, she said, adding the association doesn’t want trucks parked outside established restaurants. The proposed process goes to the planning and transportation advisory committee Oct. 20. If approved by the committee and council, city staff would aim to have it ready in March.

laNtzvillE couNcil gives tax exemption to Aspengrove. By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN
The largest tax break the District of Lantzville gives next year could be for Aspengrove School. Lantzville politicians added Aspengrove back into the roster of proposed tax-exempt properties, a year after denying the school a tax break. Lantzville council included the school in its permissive tax exemption bylaw, now one vote away from adoption, with plans to forgo $5,980 in taxes in 2016. The next-highest exemption would be for Costin Hall at $4,840. The move came just days before the first three readings were passed in the British Columbia legislature for a bill that mandates tax breaks for independent schools. With the potential legislation, Coun. John Coulson said he wanted to err on the side of caution financially and not plan fis-
cally for money being there when there is a chance the municipality might lose it. A year ago, Lantzville district council denied a tax break to Aspengrove School, with opponents arguing the school isn’t in dire straits and residents shouldn’t subsidize a private school. It was called the most extreme position of any municipality in B.C. by Peter Froese, executive director of the Federation of Independent School Associations, who was lobbying the province to take permissive tax exemptions for independent schools out of the hands of local government. Municipalities are required to give tax breaks for independent school buildings, but have had the right to decide if they should also exempt playgrounds and parking lots. That could change under a property taxation statutes amendment act, which passed third reading Sept. 30 and would make exemptions mandatory for playing fields, playgrounds and parking lots owned and operated by independent schools.

Why I don’t carry brand name mattresses. Why I design my own.
The sleep industry today is promoting 2 things that I think are foolish.
mattresses and here’s the fine print. Warranties cover excessive softening. Some softening is normal and unavoidable. The latex mattress Lynn and I use every day is now about 5 years old and is a king size. There is no visible hump in the mattress; there is however a small hill in the center as you roll across the mattress. This is normal softening. In our mattresses we use only foams that are made in Canada or the U.S. All our foams either meet or exceed CertiPUR-US® standards. This is one of the highest standards in the industry today. That means safe, clean mattresses for you and your family. Our Talalay Latex mattresses contain the best, cleanest latex we can get. 92% pure latex by volume makes this one of the premier products in the market. Our foams have never been compacted either, many mattresses come machine rolled into a box way to small. This damages the mattress.
“You need to have a good night’s sleep” implying that if you buy our mattresses that’s what will happen, 15+ years warranty”. #1. I know I’m not the brightest crayon in the box but I do know if I don’t have a decent night’s sleep I’m snarky (my wife’s term) and not performing at my best. Do I really need somebody to tell me to “get a good night’s sleep”? Have we really given up all common sense and need this sage advice? #2. This is the one that really gets me. The warranties are “visible height loss” warranties. Here’s why this is a scam. We’ve all sat on a couch that the cushion is shot. Sit down and your knees are at eyeball level, the cushion has lost all its ability to hold you up, it hasn’t however lost any height. So how is this a warranty when it’s almost impossible to make the mattress lose the 1.5-2” of height? I gave up on mainstream mattresses years ago but I still continue to look at them in the hopes that maybe they actually will produce something that would live up to my standards. In researching this article I find it interesting that they don’t actually tell you the warranties, you have to contact a retailer to find the fine print, and they don’t/won’t tell you what quality of foams they are using. At John’s I make it simple to see what you’re actually getting in both warranty and quality. Our warranties are simple they are 5 years prorated on most of our mattresses, 10 years prorated on our latex
Our mattresses are simple with very few components. Simple is better less components to fail, most of our mattresses are zippered so that on the rare occasion a component fails it can be easily replaced without buying a whole new mattress. This construction also allows for us to be able to build your mattress differently from side to side. If you’d like firmer/softer than your partner this is easy to do and at no extra charge. All our mattresses are flippable, this means longer life (as compared to no flip mattresses). Finally as with all our products it’s never on sale. Just a great price every day! No pressure, no gimmicks, take your time, ask your questions and once you’re received your new mattress if you find you’re not comfortable talk to us, we can change it. Purchase a new mattress protector from us, keep the mattress clean and odor free and if you’re not comfortable just call me and you and I will find a way to get you comfortable.

Nanaimo is one of the first communities in Canada to host an industrial-size medical marijuana facility. Is medical marijuana an industry you support? to keep marijuana out of the hands of children, prevent the proceeds from funding criminal activities, and reduce the negative health impacts. As we know from a recent World Health Organization report, Canada has the highest teen usage of marijuana amongst the countries surveyed.
The system is clearly broken. The Liberal solution is clear: If we pass smart laws that tax and strictly regulate marijuana, we can better protect our kids, while preventing millions of dollars from going into the pockets of criminal organizations and street gangs.
Paul Manly Green Party
Scientific research has determined that medical marijuana can be used safely and effectively for relief of a variety of health conditions and Canadian courts have ruled that it should be readily available for all who require it. The Green Party has long supported the legalization, regulation and taxation of
marijuana, allowing its sale to adults for medicinal or personal use through licenced distribution outlets. We would like to see room for small, independent growers as well as large-scale producers such as Tilray. Marijuana production needs to be regulated to ensure that facilities are safe, secure and that prod-
ucts meet minimum standards. Gaps in the current laws and regulations create confusion for the industry, municipalities and enforcement agencies. Legalization, regulation and taxation of marijuana will eliminate the confusion and create tax revenues to fund education and health programs.
Conservative Party
Sheila Malcolmson
New Democratic Party
While courts in Canada have ruled that the government must provide access to marijuana when authorized by a physician, Health Canada does not endorse the use of marijuana, and our government has put in place new regulations to better protect public health and safety. I recently met with local operators and listened as they outlined their need for a clear federal framework for the regulation of medical marijuana. We know, from listening to researchers, doctors and patients, that medical marijuana could help people suffering from a broad range of afflictions, from chronic

pain and Multiple Sclerosis to post-traumatic stress disorder. More in-depth research of medical marijuana is clearly needed. It is time to modernize our marijuana laws, move to decriminalization, and base laws on scientific evidence and public health principles. An NDP government would seek to balance
prevention, public health and well-being, harm reduction, community safety, and public education. We would also consult and work with provincial, territorial, municipal and indigenous governments. Tom Mulcair and the NDP will use science, not blind ideology, to inform decisions around medical marijuana.

EDITORIAL
Most vital mark is ‘A’ for effort
This latest Vital Signs report shows that Nanaimo is alive and kicking, though we can strive to care for ourselves a little bit better. The document, a project of the Nanaimo Foundation in partnership with the United Way of Central and Northern Vancouver Island and the City of Nanaimo, was released Tuesday. Using its own survey data, Vital Signs evaluated the city in 10 areas, supplementing its findings with Statistics Canada information. The letter grades residents provided left Nanaimo off the honour roll, with a C-minus on our economy, a C-plus on our environment, and no grade better than a B-minus on arts and culture. Six hundred residents responded to the survey, and though it’s a small sample size, it has some value. Any individual’s opinion is important, so several hundred voices together speak even more loudly. There is some disconnect between people’s perceptions and StatsCan’s figures. For example, the crime rate continues to fall and yet citizens feel only somewhat safe. Jobs are up the region and family income isn’t far off the provincial average, and yet residents are underwhelmed with our economy. But then, statistics are only one measurement, and each of us, as individuals, can offer a much truer story: our own experience. Nanaimo should accept the findings of the Vital Signs report. Whether we take issue with a particular C-minus or D-plus grade isn’t what’s important. There are reasons why residents feel that way and even if we scored straight-A marks across the board it would be our duty to strive for A-pluses. The report guides charitable organizations – the Nanaimo Foundation and the United Way – as they strive to do good, meaningful work and direct their energies and resources.

“
‘We’re going to get up and we’re going to meet our obligations and play some good, hard football.’
In B.C., then-finance minister Kevin Falcon praised the approach, acknowledging that health spending was ballooning to half of the provincial budget and had to be brought under control. B.C. has largely accomplished that, with spending increases below three per cent and health care outcomes that continue to lead the country. As the current election campaign turns into the home stretch, Statistics Canada has announced that for the first time in history, the number of seniors exceeds the number of children. This demographic shift is inexorable, predictable and must be addressed by whoever wins the Oct. 19 federal election. NDP leader Thomas Mulcair is on record that he will scrap the Conservative formula for growth-based increases that he pretends are cuts, returning to six per cent every year while balancing the budget. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau announced last week that he will ante up an extra $3 billion over four years for health care, and “sit down with the provinces immediately” to renegotiate, a rerun of Martin’s political theatre. u Tom Fletcher is columnist and legislature reporter for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Change wouldn’t be for the better To the Editor,
Change is the current word, but definitely not for the better. Over the years, Canada has maintained respect throughout the world. Our financial position is much more secure than many governments who have fallen for the socialist tag. Prime Minister Stephen Harper may not be popular, but his stewardship has kept Canada at an even keel. Our two ‘pretenders to the throne’ have always been involved in politics and living on the taxpayer dime. Governments generate no money, but do collect from those who actually contribute to society, and distribute the tax as they see fit in a socialist world. Good for everybody, but only contributed by a few – until they tire of being taken, and move. The socialist twins Justin Trudeau and Tom Mulcair vocalize massive money giveaways with no thought of the source of cash except huge tax increases. D.F. Connors Nanaimo

Under leader Justin Trudeau, the Liberal party is putting forth socialist policies, says letter writer.
To the Editor,
One thing that seems to be lacking in discussion at the present time is the long-term support for seniors. There will be about nine million of us by 2030. The Liberals, NDP and Greens seem to be on track for lots of spending which will mean interest payments on government loans. If the lending rates go up over the next few years, Canadians will find most of their tax payments go to service debt costs, leaving little for old age security payments and supplements, if all the promised spending is put in place. The
Conservatives seem to be more on track for long-term support for all Canadians of all ages. Seniors need to exercise their right for long-term benefits and say no to excessive spending.
Ernie McClare Nanaimo
To the Editor,
Re: PM Harper rules as if he’s a dictator, Letters, Oct. 6. What an absolutely absurd headline to choose for the letters page. There are two things no native-born Canadian has ever experienced – one is life under a dictator and two is life under
socialism (which is a dictatorship by another name). I spent five years fighting and being on the receiving end of a dictatorship in my native Britain and then was forced to spend another five years of rationing, shortages and ironfisted controls, all for no other reason than the socialist government decreed it as part of an attempt to turn my country into a socialist dictatorship. Twice more I was to suffer under socialism until in 1974, with the country completely under the control of unelected trade unions and economically on its knees, I decided enough was enough and brought my family to a really free democracy. I certainly don’t want to see that kind of socialist dictatorship getting a foothold here. If we were ever so foolish, voters would quickly find out what a dictatorship really means and would just as quickly be yearning for the ‘benign’ rule of a Stephen Harper government.
Charles Reid Nanaimo
To the Editor,
‘Anybody but Conservative’ voters want Stephen Harper replaced by Justin Trudeau or Tom Mulcair, who, ironically, are actually splitting the ABC vote. If either one actually gets a majority, many would welcome the dramatic 180-degree turnaround. Unfortunately, 180 degrees is only a semi-revolution. Mulcair, who promises change, has instead been muzzling candidates. A more democratic agenda might also be more revolutionary – like insisting on Elizabeth May’s inclusion in debates. Leaders need to communicate, not excommunicate, muzzle and whip representatives who may ocassionally dissent from the official party line, but who offer positive options and solutions. Whether the cats running Canada are Liberal, Bloc Québécois, Conservative, NDP or Green, Canadian mice deserve to at least hear the options before we make that choice.

Legendary memories
or nearly two decades, Clinton Fearon was key member of one of Jamaica’s most popular and respected bands, The Gladiators. As the lead singer of the band, Fearon had the privilege of touring around the globe with musicians such as Prince Tony Robinson, Lee Perry and Joe Higgs. And during those years, the Jamaican made many memories. “There are all kinds of stories. Good ones and bad ones. It is a long relationship,” Fearon said. “There were some great moments. I’ve learned a lot and I am still learning.” On Friday (Oct. 9), Fearon will be performing a solo acoustic set at the Queen’s. Fearon, who has previously gigged in Nanaimo, says he is thrilled to be coming back to Vancouver Island. “I haven’t played there in a long while,” he said. “You know, to be honest, I am looking forward to coming up and being able to do it all again and see some old friends and fans that I haven’t seen in a long time.” Fearon was born in Saint Andrew Parish, Jamaica and joined The Gladiators in 1968, where he became a bass player, vocalist, and lyricist. During the 1970s, The Gladiators released numerous albums and hit songs including Bongo Red and Mr. Baldwin.

All-female trio releases new album
I
FOX GLOVE play Saturday in Lantzville.
A Victoria-based allfemale trio is on a roll. Fox Glove, whose members are Renn Madeleine Bibeau, Claire Butterfield and Chelsea Kanstrup, releases its sophomore album Roll On EP today (Oct. 8). “What we wanted to really show was the growth that we’ve had in our sound since our last EP,” Bibeau said. “We’ve got a little bit of a darker sound now.”
Fox Glove will showcase some of its new tunes when it performs at Lantzville’s Tiger Mountain on Saturday. “I am so stoked,” Bibeau said. “It is our first go around on the Island ... and we are excited to share our last album with everyone and of course the new EP.” The stop is part of a small tour that includes stops in Duncan and Qualicum Beach.

Nanoose studio tour offers peek into artists’ world Shifting shadows and sunlight rays touching leaves and flowers in Nanoose forests form a mysti-
cal and ephemeral world that speaks to Helen Kilsby’s inner creativity. The mixed-media artist, originally from England, said her natural surroundings
are inspiring. Her layered works, mostly painted with acrylic, is multi-layered, textured and abstract. “My work isn’t exact. It’s more of a feeling of the plants evolv-
ing and lighting and colour,” said Kilsby. She loves to create tactile pieces and encourages visitors to her studio to run their hands along the canvas to fully experi-
ence her work. Kilsby is one of the artists opening her studio, Helen Kilsby Art Studio located at 2571 La Selva Place, during the Nanoose Bay Thanksgiving Stu-

LUIGI CALVORI,
M.Sc., RAUD Registered Audiologist
ties Colloquium Series at Vancouver Island University Oct. 16. His presentation, A Journey in Jazz from Inspiration to Performance, will explore how ideas become notes on a page and then become interpreted by musicians during the performance. He wants to give people a look at the creative process of a musician. “I talk the audience through the piece. Where a musical idea might come from and how it is developed,” said Bush. With the help of the Vancouver Island University jazz ensemble Bush walks through the process from beginning to end. The event culminates with the performance of his composition, Current Events. The jazz ensemble is volunteering its time and Bush said it gives the students a chance to perform live. Bush said jazz was traditionally a street music but over the last 20 years it has
begun to become “entrenched in academia,” but it wasn’t being presented in post-secondary lectures. For Bush inspiration can come from doing mundane tasks. “Inspiration comes from everywhere,” he said. “I get my ideas in the shower, driving or when I’m walking.” Originally from Montreal, Bush has been a musician for 35 years. He is also a professor in VIU’s music department. Before moving to Nanaimo he worked as the director of jazz studies at Abilene University in Texas. He is a freelance jazz trumpet player who has performed in jazz clubs, concert halls and during festivals across Canada. In 2001 he released his debut album, Cause and Ef fect, which featured his original compositions. A Journey in Jazz happens 10-11:30 a.m. at Malaspina Theatre. The event is free. reporter2@nanaimobulletin.com

Singers celebrate anniversary By Nicholas Pescod The News BulleTiN
Near the very heart of Lantzville lies a church surrounded by thick trees. It’s a place where a particular group of adults have congregated for nearly 15 years to socialize and sing their hearts out. EveryBodySings meets on Tuesday nights at St. Philip by-the-Sea Anglican Church. “It’s a huge amount of fun. There are no expectations. We just relax and have fun,” said Shirley Whitelaw, EveryBodySings cofounder. On Tuesday (Oct. 13) EveryBodySings will be entering its 15th season and will be holding anniversary celebrations at the Lantzville church. “It is one of our regular singing nights, but we are making it into a party to celebrate the start of 15 years,” Whitelaw said. EveryBodySings
was founded in 2001 by Whitelaw and Cyndi Doell. The group, which gathers once a week, sings a wide range of easy-tolearn music. “We sing multicultural music,” she said. “Songs from around the world. Generally ... folk songs.” Whitelaw says the group is open to all kind of music and that they teach everything by ear. “We are open to absolutely anybody,” she said. “We’ve had many people join us who said they couldn’t sing and they have learned how to sing with us.” Unlike traditional choirs that sit in
arrangements facing individuals’ backs, members sit facing each other. “People who want a formal Enterchoir and ing a 15th they want season, to know Whitelaw Our weight loss system combines: what is says the • Unlimited Personal Coaching going to best part it’s a huge be hapis•seeing Natural Health Products amount of fun. theExclusive pening emo• Real every time fromFood from your grocery store There are no tion are not the parcomfortexpectations. ticipants. able with “The the way best part we do it,” she said. is the smiles, tears of “Because we are as joy and sometimes loosey goosey as you the sadness because Let’s get started. can get.” these songs touch Book a FREE consultation.

Telethon raises $171K for child development centre The third annual Nanaimo Child Development Centre Telethon, held Sunday at the Port Theatre, raised $171,860. The event, which featured performances of music and dance, topped last year’s total of $170,000.
Donations poured in over phone lines, manned by volunteers and local celebrities, and in person. The money raised from the telethon will be used to reduce the wait list of 264 children needing services, as well as help pay for programs
and services in the Nanaimo community. People can still donate by going to www.nanaimocdc. com and clicking the red “Donate Now” button. More information on the centre’s services and programs can also be found online.

Urban Smart is a funky runabout Portland, Ore - Mercedes-Benz chose a funky city to Inside showcase its urban city runabout, the all-new Smart With a wider cabin, the dash now looks like a more fortwo (for two people). conventional subcompact.

Question of the Week
buyers will get the automatic equipped with a sport setting that also provides a more spirited drive. For those that want paddle shifters behind the steering wheel, the buyer needs to opt for the sport package that also upgrades the wheels from 15-inches to 16-inches. The wider platform makes the 2016 Smart much more stable at all speeds, in fact on the highway it was very smooth and could easily keep up with traffic.
ICBC is warning about the potential for winter weather to close in over Thanksgiving. When will you change to winter tires or won’t you bother this year?
Verdict The Smart car has always been a lifestyle choice. Starting at $17,300 there are plenty of subcompact cars with seating for five and much more cargo capacity but this car isn’t about getting the most for the money but getting around with ease. The turning radius is amazing; the driver can make manouevres you would imagine only a cyclist could pull off. It’s really remarkable. Parking is a snap and the smallest spaces are there for the taking. The Smart is available with an optional moon roof, the convertible version, along with the electric model will come sometime in 2016.The rest of the trim packages include the middle Passion trim for $18,800 and the top Prime model for $20,900. To get a car with an automatic, the buyer needs to add $1,400 to each trim and the sport package is $800. This isn’t an inexpensive car but it is a much better Smart in every direction.

Life imitates art in new Nissan by Keith Morgan
When car manufacturers roll out futuristic designs at big shows, most observers dismiss them as fanciful art projects that will never see the light of a dealership showroom. Nissan has defied the notion that concepts are merely eye candy in recent years by bringing to life those flashy show vehicles. First, there was the Resonance Concept, a wild midsize crossover concept that evolved into the 2015 Murano. Then the Sport Sedan Concept strongly influenced the radical new 2016 Nissan Maxima. And, the new design language is making its way into still more cars, the latest being its best-selling Altima. For the new 2016 Altima the design team adopted key aspects of both the exterior and interior styling themes
to give the popular mid-size sedan a fresh new appearance, including the “energetic flow” exterior styling theme and “gliding wing” interior layout. The front end of the 2016 version offers the most dramatic change, since all panels and pieces forward of the A-pillars are new – fascia, bumper, fenders, hood and lights. Two key elements are the redesigned V-Motion grille and boomerang-shape headlights, similar to those found on the Murano and Maxima. The look is dramatically different from the 2015 Altima design, with a wide, deeply sculpted lower bumper, integrated fog lights (SR, SV and SL models) and prominent chrome-
trimmed grille. The rear of the new Altima is marked by a new sculpted bumper with a dark lower accent, a new trunk lid – with integrated rear spoiler on Altima SR models – and lower, wider boomerangshaped combination lights. Along with the revised
appearance, the new Altima also offers a 10 per cent improvement in coefficient of drag thanks to the inclusion of a grille shutter, underfloor aero cover additions and the new front and rear fascia and windshield. With the addition of the new SR model to the 2016
Altima lineup, Nissan is taking dead aim at one of the fastest growing areas of the mid-size sedan segment – the “sport” grades that account for nearly 40 percent of total sales.

The 2016 Toyota Yaris Sedan is not your average subcompact car. It’s aggressively styled, equipped with premium features and tuned for driving fun. “This is more than a new car with a familiar name,” said Larry Hutchinson, vice-president at Toyota Canada Inc., at the Quebec launch. “Canadians love the efficiency and nimble performance of subcompacts – and the all-new Yaris sedan gives drivers even more – much more – of what they love. Whether running errands in the downtown core, or taking a day-trip on the open road, the new Yaris Sedan is built to surprise drivers with premium details and unexpected driving fun.” Toyota offers the 2016 Yaris Sedan in two trim levels. This manual sedan model features a short-stroke six-speed manual transmission for quick shifting, and a fuel efficiency rating of 6.7 litres per 100 km (city/ highway combined). The Yaris sedan automatic model features a six-speed automatic transmission with lock-up torque con-
verter, a direct-shift feel, plus a Sport mode that boosts torque for more spirited driving. This model boasts a fuel efficiency rating of 6.4 litres per 100 kilometres (city/highway combined). Standard features include cruise control, power windows and power door locks – all set off with chrome accents and the soft-touch trim and surfaces. Steering wheel mounted controls put audio and Bluetooth within easy reach. The trunk is spacious and made more versatile thanks to a standard 60/40 split folding rear seat. The auto version may be ordered with a premium package adding several enhancements to audio, comfort, convenience and style. These include a display audio system with seven-inch touch screen, six speakers, two USB ports, heated front seats, aluminum alloy wheels, fog lamps, and a back-up camera. The 2016 Yaris Sedan is now available across Canada. For more new car reviews, please visit www.drivewaybc.ca. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Right tires essential for safety by Bob McHugh Motoring TV’s Bill Gardiner is probably the best-known and most popular auto mechanic in Canada. I met up with the down-toearth celebrity wrench-puller for the first time at a Kal-Tire store in Vancouver, a while ago, to talk about all-weather tires. All-season tires (a misleading name) generally don’t perform well when the thermometer dips below 7 C and winter (snow) tires also perform far better on the white stuff. Many car owners are still not aware that there is another option and it’s called the all-weather tire. Essentially an all-weather tire is a winter tire that can be driven right though the summer months, so you don’t have the added expense, hassle and storage issues of swapping tires seasonally. You could say, the all-weather tire fulfils the original promise of the all-season tire. Roughly 50 per cent of Canadian car owners run the same tires all-year-round and don’t do the summer/ winter tire switchover, according to Gardiner. Economic and logistical reasons, especially if you live in an urban area, are forcing more and more consumers to drive on the same set of tires in both summer and winter. “I get that feedback from a lot of motorists,” said Gardiner. “They don’t like manhandling – tires are dirty and you have to put them in the car and then store them. Some families have two or three cars, so that becomes a lot of tires to stack up.” “Many people also buy a second set of steel rims for their winter tires,’’ added Gardiner. “Now your car doesn’t look too attractive for five months of the year. And with [tire-pressure monitoring systems], if you don’t replicate that sensor on each wheel you lose an important safety feature. The other thing too, most tire shops have a huge spike in business in November and April, so you have to line up with a gazillion other people.” Some all-season tires that will provide over 140,000 kilometres of tread wear. “In my garage, we typically try to match our customers with a tire that will give them four or five years of good service, based on how much they drive,” said Gardiner. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

IN MEMORIAM
Thomas (Tom) Paterson Hamilton January 1, 1934 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; September 27, 2015
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Thomas Paterson Hamilton of Nanaimo, B.C. on September 27th, 2015 after a lengthy illness. Tom was the first baby born in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, Scotland on New Years Day In 1934. As a young man he put in two years in Singapore with the RAF where he often got into trouble with a little good hearted rebellion. He had many fond memories of his time there. Tom had just gotten back from Singapore when he met Anne at one of the local dance halls. Tom & Anne loved to dance and were always complimented on how beautifully they danced together. Tom and Anne were married in Anneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home town of Troon in 1960 and continued to live in Kilmarnock where he & Anne raised their family until they moved to Nanaimo in 1967. For many years many knew Tom as the Greens Keeper at the Nanaimo Golf Club. Later he moved on to become a Financial Planner with The Prudential of England Life Insurance Co. until he took early retirement in 1990. Tom loved people and was always fun loving & out going. Many may remember Tom as a mobile bartender for weddings & company parties that he did as a side business as well as for his long time family connections to the Masonic Lodge & Jobs Daughters. Tom had a clever mind & a natural ability to fix things and if anyone ever needed anything, he would always go out of his way to help. He could always be counted on & his family could not be more proud. Words can not express our gratitude to the many that have reached out to help and the many kind words of encouragement & understanding during these difficult times. A very special thank-you to all the caring professionals at Wexford Creek that helped to make Tomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last days as comfortable as possible. Tom was predeceased by his parents Margaret (nee Craig) & Thomas Hamilton & his sister Chirstina Hamilton. He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Anne; Sister Betty (Wesley) Brolls; Brother Craig (Jacqui) Hamilton; Daughter Julie (Bill) McKay; Son Scott Hamilton; Grand Daughters Sarah Garner, Scotia McKay; Grand Son Quinton McKay. In Lieu of flowers please consider a donation to a charity of your choice. A celebration of Tomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be held from 1pm â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 4 pm on October 25th, 2015 at his Daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house at 3174 Singleton Rd, Nanaimo, B.C.

Clippers forward player of the week

MATTHEW HOOVER earns recognition for hot start. BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN
GREG SAKAKI/ThE NEwS BullETIN
Vancouver Island University Mariners player Chris Arnett, middle, goes up to get a ball during a match against the Kwantlen Eagles on Sunday afternoon at Merle Logan Field. The home team won 3-0.
VIU soccer teams on Quest to climb standings Vancouver Island University’s soccer teams are rising at the right time. The Mariners men’s and women’s soccer teams are showing improved play and better results on the scoreboard as the season goes along. Next up is an important home-and-home series against the Quest Kermodes. In the women’s standings, the Spirit Bears
are currently tied with the M’s for second place. “That’s pretty much going to determine who’s going to end up in second place or fighting with [firstplace] Douglas up at the top…” said Anup Kang, VIU coach. “We’ve got a veteran team and they know what it’s all about. They’ll be prepared and mentally ready to play two tough games
this weekend.” As for the Mariner men, they’re coming off the high of shutting out the league’s first-place Kwantlen Eagles this past Sunday at Merle Logan Field. Jef f Travis, VIU defender, called the victory a good stepping stone. “I think it just started to all click … It’s kind of been building up until now,” he said.
Wins against Quest would go a long way, said Travis. “Hopefully we can get both those games in the bag and place us in pretty good shape.” GAME ON … The teams meet Saturday in Squamish, then play the return matches Sunday at Merle Logan Field. The women’s match is at noon with the men to follow at 2:30 p.m. sports@nanaimobulletin.com
He’s turned the Clippers’ top line into the league’s best line so far this season. Matthew Hoover was named as the B.C. Hockey League Player of the Week. The centreman had four goals and three assists as his team won all three of its games. Hoover has scored nine goals in his first nine games as a Nanaimo Clipper, skating between veterans Sheldon Rempal and Devin Brosseau, the league’s top two scorers. “I think Hoovs is a nice mix in that group… [He] is just a spark,” said Mike Vandekamp, Clippers coach. Hoover’s best goal as a Clipper so far came in last Wednesday’s game against the Alberni Valley Bulldogs. A puck was chipped into the attacking zone and looked out of reach, but Hoover somehow won a race, outpositioned a defender and re-directed the puck into the net. “That was pretty sweet to watch, because that was just a straight-out speed and effort type of goal and that’s the type of player he is,” Vandekamp said. The 19-year-old from Brantford, Ont., was acquired from the Kingston Voyageurs in a blockbuster off-season trade that sent popular checking forward Jacob Hanlon, as well as Anthony Rinaldi, the

other way. “I’m going to school next year and I didn’t know if Kingston was going to be the right spot for me. I thought I needed a change and I’d heard really good things about the program,” Hoover said. Playing with Rempal and Brosseau, things are “clicking right away,” Hoover said. “They just think the game really well and they know where I’m going to be and I know where they’re going to be, so it’s working out really well and I’m loving it.” GAME ON … The Clippers head off on the road to play the Vernon Vipers on Friday (Oct. 9) at 7 p.m., the Salmon Arm SilverBacks on Saturday at 7 p.m. and the Merritt Centennials on Sunday at 2 p.m.

And on a final note, want to extend very special congratulations to Ruth Thorpe for her hole-inone this past summer at Winchelsea View. Whatever your sport, a reminder in closing to play your hardest, play fair, and show good sportsmanship.

Injured Isles forced to forfeit BY GreG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN
The kickoff to the AA varsity football regular season will have to wait another week. The season opener between the Barsby Bulldogs and the Nanaimo District Islanders, originally slated for this Friday (Oct. 9), has been cancelled after the Isles forfeited. NDSS suffered four serious injuries in a 21-6 road loss at Westsyde in the B.C. Interior last Friday, including a broken col-
larbone, wrist, thumb and a concussion. “Things happen in a contact sport and it all piled up at once,” said Nate Stevenson, NDSS coach. “We’ve got a team, but I don’t think we’d be able to field much of opposition to Barsby. So I think it’s in our best interests to heal up and regroup.” The forfeit loss is occurring early enough in the season so that the Islanders still have a chance to try to challenge for a playoff spot in their tough Western Conference.
“We’re down right now, but we’re not out,” Stevenson said. “We’re going to get up and we’re going to come back at it and we’re going to meet our obligations and we’re going to play some good, hard football.” GAME ON … The junior varsity game between Barsby and Nanaimo District now becomes the feature Kocher Classic game this week. The teams meet Thursday (Oct. 8) at 3:15 p.m. at Merle Logan Field. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Beefs & bouquets BEEF To the beefer who said the little girl in the Colliery dam picture looked confused and scared. Wrong – she is the happiest little protester in Nanaimo. BOUQUET To organizers and participants in this year’s Terry Fox Run. BEEF Justin Trudeau needs two ex-PMs to help him with his campaign – who will help him if he gets elected? BOUQUET To the footwear manager at Sport Chek for your help in replacing my New Balance shoes. BEEF To the city public works for not repairing the potholes in the south end. I should open an alignment shop. BOUQUET To Norma in the CAT scan department at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. She was professional, friendly and efficient and made my first scan painless and worry-free. BEEF To the political elections signs. They continue to make falsehoods which, as usual, just fade away and radiate into nothingness. BOUQUET To Reece at Superstore’s produce department for going to so much trouble to help the lady with arthritis. BEEF To Canadians for not seeing the real danger in just opening our borders. We’re being so blinded by sympathy to the refugees’ plight that we’re overlooking the real possibility of terrorists infiltrating Canada. BOUQUET To Nanaimo RCMP for all your hard work apprehending the thief who stole from our home. Your dedication to solving this case is very commendable.
BEEF Nanaimo physicians take too many appointments to get something sorted out and are too slow with pain control. Many physicians claim patients have psychiatric problems but are really putting their mistakes back on patients’ mental health.
BEEF To the roofing company that threatened a lien on our new home instead of assisting us with the cost of extensive damage to our driveway caused by the disposal bin. Maybe talk face-to-face instead of writing letters to resolve your poor service problems.
BOUQUET To the Windward and Oxy pubs for their continued support of the Elks No. 26 and Royal Canadian Legion Branch 10. Also to those who barbecued and worked in the kitchen.
BOUQUET To Ron Cantelon and fellow driver for taking time to stop and help two ladies in distress. Having a flat tire in a remote no-cellular service area is no fun. Your kindness is very appreciated.
BEEF To north-end residents for wasting power by burning five outside lights all night. An investment in motion lights will be paid back by saving on electricity bills.
BEEF To voters who keep going to the polls to vote for the status quo, expecting something different. As Einstein said, it’s the mark of insanity to keep doing the same thing repeatedly expecting a different outcome.
BOUQUET To Kal-Tire for giving us such great advice, service and price on our all-weather tires. Also a shout out to Nanaimo/OK Tire for referring us to Kal-Tire. BEEF To the phone company. My unlisted number is currently in a motel listing. I have received more unwanted and fraudulent calls than ever. The wait time to get something sorted out is too long.
BOUQUET To All The Way Roofing. The owner/operator Jay is fantastic, friendly and very professional. His crew works very well together, quickly and efficiently. They did our roof and our neighbour’s in one day. We highly recommend Jay and his great crew.
BOUQUET To Carolyn from Tom Lee Music. I forgot my credit card at my son’s instrument rental night. The next day, Carolyn drove all the way from Tom Lee Music to Duke Point where I work, to imprint the card. BEEF To the obvious political propaganda TV ads. You’re still trying to sell us the same old line as being new and improved.
BEEF To the beefer who beefed about my beef concerning cyclists crossing with the red hand and not the green walk signal. You don’t need to check the traffic rules and regulations to know that a red hand denoting stop means just that, in any language, and for any vehicle or pedestrian. BOUQUET To the staff on the sixth floor of Nanaimo Regional General Hospital and Dr. Paul Voorhoeve for the incredible care I received after I broke my hip. I know the hospitals are short staffed but the care I received was amazing. BEEF To parks and recreation appropriating the professional table tennis equipment (purchased by members of the seniors’ table tennis club). The reasoning: the organization uses city property to play in. BOUQUET To the B.C. Ferries employee who graciously cleaned up after my son was sick on the ferry. BEEF Shouldn’t Canada’s citizenship courts be more concerned about applicants, with dual citizenship, lying when they swear loyalty to Canada rather than fretting over what applicants are wearing? BOUQUET To Mr. One Hour Cleaners which took a grease stain out of my Gore-tex coat. Saved me a bundle. BEEF To the store which doubled the rental rate from the first month of an equipment rental when the rental was extended by a week. BOUQUET To Colin at Backyard Birds for going the extra mile. Way to look after your customers. BOUQUET To the Cops for Cancer on their Tour de Rock ride. Your brave efforts, for an important cause, were appreciated.

________________________________________________________________________________
BOUQUET To all the parent volunteers working to keep Rutherford Elementary School open. You are so appreciated.
________________________________________________________________________________
BEEF To the city for not paying attention to the intersection at Bowen Road and Dufferin Crescent. The left-turn lane signal only lets two to three cars at a time.
Name __________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ Address ________________________________________________________________________ Phone No ______________________________________________________________________
BOUQUET To the kindest man in Errington, who saved my cat and made the effort to return him to our family after he was missing for two months.
This week’s winner:
BOB AND LINDA SMITH win a bouquet from Turley’s Florist.
