Designers win starring role at Emmy Awards

Site unveiled for north-end social housing BY CHRIS HAMLYN THE NEWS BULLETIN

Nanaimo business making rounds of ‘gifting suites’ at celebrity events

“

It’s extra exposure for us. I hope lots of good things come from this.

BY MELISSA FRYER THE NEWS BULLETIN

A celebrity baby boom has toddlers looking just as fashionable as their famous parents and two Nanaimo moms hope their designs fit in with the trend. Maquinna Marriott and Jessica Davis, who founded Bella and Charlie Designs more than a year ago, travel to California this weekend to show off their bib and blanket creations in a ‘gifting suite’ prior to the Emmy Awards. A gifting suite is like a mini-mall where celebrities have their pick of designer items from across North America. Photos taken with the celebrities can then be used for promotional purposes. Bella and Charlie Designs is one of about 25 companies included in this year’s suite. “It’s extra exposure for us,” said Davis. “I hope lots of good things come from this.” Davis and Marriott were expecting children at about the same time and found a lack of baby products they liked, particularly blankets and bibs. To change that, they made their own. “We made a few and people liked

Ryder Davis, 2, has first dibs on the bibs made by his mom Jessica, left, and her business partner Maquinna Marriott, of Bella and Charlie Designs. The Nanaimo company’s bibs and blankets will be featured with other products at the 2011 Emmy Awards pre-ceremony gifting suite in Los Angeles, this weekend (Sept. 16-17).

patterns, designs and fabrics more suited to their styles. “We wanted something more sophisticated,” Davis said. ◆ See ‘THIRD’ /4

The latest project in the provincial government’s Housing First initiative could see up to 40 social housing units built at 6025 Uplands Dr., near Nanaimo Fire Rescue Station No. 3 on Hammond Bay Road. The Uplands location, along with a 35- to 40-unit project to be built 1621 Dufferin Cres., was announced Tuesday along with requests for expressions of interest from non-profit societies to design, develop and operate the sites. When Housing First was introduced in 2008, Nanaimo required 160 units to house the city’s homeless. The program provides shelter and access to programs for those in need, but also allows residents to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol while staying there, though drugs and alcohol may or may not allowed on the premises. As part of the program, the city is required to provide the land for the facilities, while the province partners with the Vancouver Island Health Authority and Canadian Mental Health Association to provide staff and programming. Other projects in Nanaimo include an 18-unit development on Tenth Street for aboriginal youth and elders, and a 36-unit on Wesley Street scheduled to open next spring. See ‘DISCUSSION’ ‘ /6

Event organized to help create long-term strategy for Nanaimo River watershed

River ideas flow at symposium Quickfacts

symposium later this month is designed to create an initial strategy for long-term protection of the Nanaimo River watershed. Organizers recently added a high-profile name to its growing list of speakers, said Gail Adrienne, executive director of the Nanaimo and Area Land Trust. Bob McDonald, host of CBC’s Quirks and Quarks, was confirmed Thursday as a guest speaker at the Nanaimo River Stewardship Symposium 2011, and will give a ADRIENNE special presentation on worldwide issues surrounding water on Sept. 23, the opening night of the three-day conference. McDonald’s presentation will be preceded by the premiere of Paul Manly’s newest video, Voices of the River. For the last six months, Manly has interviewed a broad range of people who share a common bond – their connection to the river and their need for it. “We want to stress that this symposium isn’t an end, it’s a start of creating a strategy toward stewardship,” said Adrienne. “It’s the first step to beginning that long-term vision and getting people at the table together for starters. Different interests, different stakeholders, getting them to talk to each other and to listen to each other and get past some of the us-and-them kind of attitudes.” An informal first day of various activities will include rafting down the lower Nanaimo River, a guided hike, touring the river hatchery or testing

BY CHRIS HAMLYN

◆ NANAIMO RIVER Stewardship Symposium 2011 takes place Sept. 23-25.

10-chapter baseline report is presented, participants will go into five different break-out sessions to help establish a protection strategy. Some stakeholder groups include: representatives from fisheries, forestry, Harmac mill employees, property owners, VIU students and faculty, recreation, the regional district and City of Nanaimo, and the community at large. Adrienne is also hoping First Nation representatives will participate. When the symposium ends at noon Sunday, activities will move from VIU to Maffeo Sutton Park, where it will partner with the City of Nanaimo to celebrate World Rivers Day from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The free event will include entertainment, live music, barbecued salmon burgers, and information booths. “We hope people come away from this with a better understanding of each other and how everybody needs to work together for the benefit of the river,” said Adrienne. Sponsorships for the symposium are still available. Please contact NALT at 250-714-1994 or e-mail riverteam1@nalt. bc.ca for sponsorship opportunities or to register.

A group hoping to save a western portion of Linley Valley from further development is taking its cause public. Team Save Linley Valley West is hosting an information table Friday to Sunday (Sept. 16-18) at Country Club Centre in hopes of creating public awareness of the more than 80 hectares of wetland, woodland and trails between Rutherford Road and Linley Valley (Cottle Lake) Park. The group is also using the current development of 24 hectares off of Rutherford Road as an example of what could happen in the future. “People see the destruction of the forest off of Rutherford and are disgusted,” said team member Joanne Jonas. “There’s nothing we can do about that, so what we’re trying to do is avoid this happening to the rest of the Linley Valley on the west side.” The property is privately owned, but Jonas said the mindset regarding green space has changed considerably in Nanaimo since the area was first identified for development in the late 1970s. “There are a lot of areas in Nanaimo that were privately owned that are now parkland,” she said. The group hopes to save a large portion of the property and create a nature park. “That’s what we want and we know it’s a lot to ask for,” said Jonas. “If we can’t have that, let’s leave much less of a footprint, have a more sustainable environment and let the people of Nanaimo have a say in what goes on in their wetlands.” The group’s information blitz includes another information session Oct. 7-9 at Country Club, a Facebook page, and petitions and brochures in stores. They hope to present city council with 12,000 signatures asking the land be protected. “We’re aiming high,” said Jonas. “If we have less then we have less, but at least we tried to put our best effort forward. To have a wild park in the middle of a sea of houses would be beautiful. It’s totally worth saving.” For more information, please e-mail Jonas at driftwoodart2003@yahoo.ca or go to Save the Linley Valley West on Facebook.

Saturday will see the symposium begin in earnest on developing a strategy at the theatre at Vancouver Island University. Three keynote speakers include Craig Wightman of the B.C. Conservation Foundation, and Rodger Hunter and Tom Rutherford, who will give presentations on the development of the Cowichan River Water Management Plan, the for-

mation of the Cowichan Watershed Board and its adoption of sustainability targets. “These three speakers will be focusing on the whole philosophy of using the Cowichan River as a model of one that has set up a really good strategy,” said Adrienne. “And planning for public access and multi-use of the Nanaimo River resource.” She added the Nanaimo River is particularly valuable because it serves as the city’s water source.

Student accused of robbing teens A 16-year-old high school student was arrested for allegedly robbing two teenage boys of an iPhone, wallet and cash. The robbery happened Sept. 8 at about 8:15 p.m. Two boys, both 14, were playing at Coal Tyee Elementary School when an older teenager approached and followed them to

the Esso gas station on Northfield Road and then threatened them with a 12 cm knife. Const. Gary O’Brien said the suspect was arrested at the school he attends Friday at about 2 p.m. after a teacher received information and passed it on to the principal. O’Brien said the principal

asked the student if he had any weapons on him and the teen turned over a knife. “He was taken to a safe place to wait for us and our school liaison officers arrived and took him into custody,” O’Brien said. Police are recommending a charge of robbery. The suspect was released on a promise to appear in

Nanaimo provincial courts at a later date. O’Brien said the teen will also face disciplinary action from the school board for bringing a weapon onto school property. His name will not be released because he is a young offender. Police are not identifying which school the teen attends.

Runner a fundraising dynamo $19,000 RAISED for Terry Fox Run over 29 years.

BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN

or the past 29 years, Jessie Mazzelli has hit the streets to raise money for the Terry Fox Run, generating $19,000 for the cause. She was first inspired to participate in memory of her aunt, whose name she shares and who died of cancer. Her first few years participating were in Powell River, while the last two were in Nanaimo. Knowing she is helping people makes her continue to participate every year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice feeling that you can be able to help,â&#x20AC;? said Mazzelli. Mazzelli was busy fundraising in anticipation of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Terry Fox Run,

RACHEL STERN/THE NEWS BULLETIN

This year marks Jessie Mazzelliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 29th year participating in the Terry Fox Run. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s raised $19.000 over the years in memory of her aunt, who died of cancer, and to help others.

which is Sunday (Sept. 18). She knocked on doors for five weeks to raise money and originally wanted to raise $800 to bring her total to $18,000. However, she exceeded her goal, bringing

her 29-year total to $19,004. Mazzelli said she hates bothering people, but she knows itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for a good cause and has knocked on hundreds of doors to gather donations.

She remembers speaking to one woman who shared her story about being a breast cancer survivor. Those encounters make her continue participating in the run. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes me feel good that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m helping people,â&#x20AC;? said Mazzelli. Next year on her 30th anniversary, Mazzelli hopes to bring her total to $20,000. Mazzelli hopes the younger generation starts to become more involved in the run and she seeks to inspire her grandchildren to participate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I wish this younger generation would take over, because sooner or later theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the ones that will have to do it,â&#x20AC;? she said. The Terry Fox Run starts at the Nanaimo Aquatic Centre. Registration begins at 10 a.m. and the run starts at 10:45. For more information please go to www. nanaimo.ca. reporter3@nanaimobulletin.com

The committee is also working with the police to bring the Crime Stoppers program into schools, Welch added. “Having the RCMP and John Howard and Crime Stoppers involved has made an enormous difference,” she said. “We’ve managed to engage students in the process, so the awareness has gone up.” Pete Sabo, the district’s director of planning and operations, said it is difficult to pinpoint exactly what made the difference in the vandalism numbers, but the only thing that has really changed is the renewed effort by the committee to deal with the problem. “With the committee we’ve had a more co-ordinated approach with all the stakeholders meeting regularly,” he said. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

◆ From /1 A 36-unit facility planned for 1406 Bowen Rd. was put on hold earlier this year following a series of contentious public hearings surrounding the project’s proximity to an elementary school, increased traffic and effect on property values. Council will determine the need for the Bowen Road project following the completion of the Wesley, Dufferin and Uplands facilities.

The Uplands location is near Dover Bay Secondary School and McGirr Elementary School, but John Hor n, city planner, said there were not a lot of options in the north end. “In listening to the neighbourhood around the Bowen and Dufferin sites and their feedback, we went back to B.C. Housing and asked them if they would see fit to revising our agreement to

move some of the units up north,” he said. “We don’t own a lot of empty, multi-family sites of appropriate size up there. We need to have these projects adjacent to bus routes and shopping. You can’t go too far off the beaten track or you’re just leaving people stranded.” Hor n said every major neighbourhood in the city has schools. “The basis of our system is every school

is embedded in neighbourhoods so they’re walkable,” he said. “These folks are going to live in neighbourhoods, and that’s where schools are.” The Uplands and Duf ferin sites are appropriately zoned for social housing and do not require public hearings, but Hor n said the public will be notified. “Once a provider has been identified, they will act as the key liaison to neighbours and residents of the area in terms of public consultations because they’re the ones who are going to run the building at the end of the day,” he said. “They’ll be well-placed to respond to how this will work, what’s it going to look like, who’s going to live there. Our role is limited to providing the land.” But until a provider is chosen, B.C. Housing and the city will begin discussions with residents in the areas. “Our preference is to do that in smaller settings rather than large public meetings,” said Horn. “We’ll do that initially, but we’d hope our partners, who are more knowledgeable than we are, would take that job over.” Horn expects a service provider to be identified by December. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Stem cell donor to receive honour from Canadian Blood Services

Lifesaving donor earns special honour BY CHRIS BUSH THE NEWS BULLETIN

Nanaimo man is promoting the benefits of advancements in social media and medical technologies that can help save lives. Michael Hogman, 24, an army reservist and a service technician for Nanaimo-based Oughtred Coffee & Tea, will receive special recognition from Canadian Blood Services at its Honour Our Lifeblood awards ceremony in Ontario next week (Sept. 19-20). He is being highlighted because of the circumstances leading to his donation that saved the life of Huw Williams, 44, of Ottawa, who was diagnosed with chronic myelogenous leukemia in 2008. Williams’s only hope for surviving the disease was to receive a bone marrow transplant from an unrelated donor. Even with the transplant, Williams had only a 50-per cent chance of survival. That year a friend introduced Hogman to OneMatch, a Facebook page by the Canadian Blood Services bone marrow and stem cell division that helps match donors to potential recipients. Hogman signed up as a donor. “I figured, why not?” he said. “I saw the link. It’s super easy to sign up. It’s just like donating blood or signing up for organ donations.” Three weeks later he received a package in the mail containing swabs. Donors swab the inside of their mouths and mail the pack-

age back to Canadian Blood Services, where donor DNA profiles are generated from the samples and kept on file to await possible matching recipients. Some people wait up to 10 years for a donation request, but just seven months later, Hogman was matched with Williams. Hogman went to Vancouver General Hospital for the procedure. Technology has changed bone marrow stem cell harvesting dramatically. What used to be an invasive painful process where sections of bone marrow were removed from the donor’s thigh or pelvis, is now no more invasive than a dialysis session. Five days prior to donation, the donor receives injections that over-stimulate bone marrow to force stem cells into the bloodstream. The harvesting procedure starts when the injections have done their work. “They hook you up to what is probably the equivalent of a dialysis machine – two lines, one in each of your wrists,” Hogman said. “The blood comes out. They filter the stem

cells out of your blood and the blood goes right back into your body.” It takes about nine hours to harvest about 250 millilitres of stem cells. The procedure is painless with no side effects or medication required afterward. “Your bones kind of ache a tiny bit, but no more than if you went to the gym,” he said. Williams received Hogman’s stem cells, which were flown to Ontario the next day, and began his fight to recover. Hogman said he is grateful to have been able to help Williams, who is married with three children and a philanthropist. Williams is also president of Impact Public Affairs and specializes in government and media relations. The men met for the first time when Hogman flew to Ontario in April. “He’s one of the more active people I know,” Hogman said. “He’s out on the water. He’s out hiking and mountain climbing. He’d doing all this and he just got over leukemia just two years ago. He’s in great shape and he’s doing well.” Williams said Hogman’s efforts to save many more lives by getting the message out to support OneMatch, through countless media interviews, make him a true hero. “Yes, technology has advanced, but in my case it is really the single act of donation that made the biggest difference,” he said. “Mike gave me the gift of life. I will see my girls graduate high school and beyond and with some good luck, meet my grand kids.” photos@nanaimobulletin.com

The committee tasked with addressing urban agriculture in Lantzville has delayed presenting its recommendations to council to allow time to iron out two issues. The seven-member committee is still trying to come to an agreement about lot sizes in relation to garden size. “The committee struggled with that a little,” said Warren Griffey, a Lantzville councillor and member of the committee. The second issue being debated is whether the hauling of manure on site is acceptable. Griffey said the committee hopes to present its recommendations at next weeks council meeting. But Twyla Graff, chief administrative officer, said because the facilitator is out of town this week, the recommendations will most likely be presented at the Oct. 17 council meeting.

Church joins drive for food donations A Nanaimo church is joining a provincewide effort to ensure people have food on their tables at Thanksgiving. The Nanaimo congregation of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is participating in the B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive on Saturday (Sept. 17). Donation bags provided by Quality Foods were dropped off to as many houses as possible this week and volunteers will go door-todoor on Saturday collecting bags. The food drive is organized by the church in the more than 40 communities across B.C. it serves, in conjunction with Food Banks B.C. No cash donations are solicited door-to-door. In Nanaimo, food drive proceeds will go to Loaves and Fishes Community Food Bank. For more information or to volunteer, please go to www. bctfooddrive.org.

EDITORIAL

Housing needs open p minds The City of Nanaimo is missing a perfect opportunity to set the final social housing development down the right path if it doesn’t take the lead in getting good, correct information to area residents. With a location announced on Uplands Road for the promised north-end site, it’s incumbent upon the city to avoid the same furor of confusion and misinformation that erupted earlier this year over similar projects in the hospital area. While city hall is not required to hold a public hearing, as it was with the Bowen Road site due to rezoning changes, it should plan full information sessions. And it should do so quickly. The previous situation exploded because the city did not take the initiative to inform residents about its Housing First plan, and why the harm reduction approach that strategy is built upon is so important and effective. In fact, the Housing First strategy itself promises “early engagement, in advance of any announcements of sites or funding” to facilitate community acceptance. Council needs its own social planning experts and those of the Vancouver Island Health Authority, which is a partner in the strategy, to clearly present the facts to residents who will be new neighbours to this development. Those people need to be given a forum to learn as much as they can and get their questions answered. It is unlikely such efforts will quell all opposition to the social housing initiative, but it is likely to ease neighbourhood worries and reduce the chance of fear-mongering and the spread of misinformation. Without question, there will be residents unhappy about the location who refuse to welcome it with open arms. But it’s possible, if the city takes its opportunity to properly inform residents, that more people will at least accept the necessity of social housing with open minds.

That seems to be his key criterion for acceptable small hydro: as long as nobody makes a profit. Professional environmentalists claim rivers have been destroyed. Their favourite villain, Ashlu Creek near Squamish, has been running smoothly for nearly two years, its critics silenced. A new run-of-river cluster around Harrison Lake has energized two remote native villages. I’ve seen these things, from construction stage to mature operation. If that’s your idea of devastation, you should get out more, and acquaint yourself with the history of logging in particular. And if you’re going to insinuate that this is political corruption, as Horgan does, you need a better case than the flimsy one he has presented so far. ◆ Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca twitter.com/tomfletcherbc

Program costs for green bins don’t add up To the Editor, We received our green bin and all of its accompanying paraphernalia from the City of Nanaimo. The day I was dreading had arrived. Don’t get me wrong, I think recycling is a great idea and I am happy to do my part in making our environment safer and cleaner. However, in my effort to keep our world clean and safe I am not willing to check my brains at the door. We labour in our homes to collect and sort our waste. We provide the compostable material to the city (our kitchen garbage). We pay them to come and pick it up. We provide them with the yard and garden waste they mix with it. We bring that to them and pay them to take that as well. They take the raw materials and make a product (soil or fertilizer for our gardens) and we again pay them to take that product home and sprinkle it on our gardens. Does it bother anyone besides me that we pay money at both ends of the whole process? When you think about it, we are all employees of the city and we are paying them to make a product they will in turn sell to us. Did anyone besides me notice the increase in our garbage collection costs this year? How many ends are we paying at now? I can do my own recycling at home and create my own compost if I want and then benefit from my own labour. But I still have to pay the city for a service I didn’t ask for and may not need, and the cost of that is just going to increase rather than go away. In our need to reduce our carbon footprint, garbage is a big concern. But it is also big business. A business that I am a part of whether I like it or not and a business where I am forced to contribute. Why are the consumers responsible for the recycling? Where is the manufacturers’ role in the whole picture? Wendy Lueder Nanaimo

All creatures deserve protection To the Editor, In Ruth Bard’s letter ((Animal activists must re-examine priorities, Letters, Aug. 20) she criticizes the folks of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society for trying to stop the slaughter of dolphins in Japan while at the same time there are people starving in the horn of Africa. I have been sponsoring poor children for more than 25 years, but at the same time I admire the work that the dedicated folk of the Sea Shepherd do and as well their ambition to stop the slaughter of dolphins in Japan. I am happy there are people who can devote all their time to caring for the Earth and its

creatures and it would cheapen us as a species if we were only obsessed with our own kind. There are many people who have sold all they have and devoted their skills for the benefit of the poor. These true philanthropists are not the type to go around and criticize other people for devoting their care to the animals. In finding a balance in this world, it is important that we all have the freedom to follow our own personal convictions without ridicule, because it is only through that we can find our own unique inner personal wisdom and objective in life. In some Asian countries, eating monkey brains while

Perhaps some would be against banning this barbaric practice because some monkey hunters and restaurant owners in Indonesia would not be able to provide a decent living for their families. Some people die for principle and living by personal prin-

ciple is the only thing that can elevate a human to be worth more than a simple-minded beast. Living without principle can be a worse fate than hunger and death. I believe in God, but I also believe it would be a case of arrogance to think we are worth more than other selfaware creatures solely on a claim of birthright. Protecting other self-aware creatures and preserving nature for the benefit of the countless generations to follow is an important sign that some humans are living by personal principle.

Readers respond: Feedback on news Foreign civil wars Restoring PST/GST should be easier To the Editor, Re: HST opposition says advocacy work not done, Aug. 30. Why is it taking 18 months or more to return to the PST/GST regime when it only took a little over 11 months (July 23, 2009 to July 1, 2010), from the time the HST was a gleam in Gordon Campbell’s eye till it was implemented and only three months (March 30, 2010 to July 1, 2010) from the passing of the bill to remove the PST until that happened? Surely it is easier to return to something familiar than to implement something brand new. It seems like the government just wants to milk the HST for as much extra revenue as they can before the inevitable happens. Unfortunately this uncertainty will cause more

To the Editor, Re: Discussions on HST needed much earlier, Letters, Sept. 6) Michael Utgaard’s letter pretty much blew every offering by Tom Fletcher clean out of the water. The many flaws of anything offered by a B.C. Liberal are pointed out for what they are – brain dead. Yet Fletcher deliberately chose to reward this, rather than shine a critical light. That indicates a political agenda rather than critical analysis. Fletcher’s use of dog whistle language ‘great unwashed’ is a blatant attempt to punish those who would question tyranny and deceipt. Any bets on how the Order of B.C. for Gordon Campbell or that half-billion dollar roof on B.C. Place would show up in a referendum? Grant Maxwell Nanaimo

Others more deserving of Order of B.C. than ex-premier To the Editor, I am a hard working B.C. man. I pay all my taxes. I don’t lie, cheat, or steal. I have never caused any seniors to be thrown out of

their homes. I am not responsible for the destruction of B.C. Hydro, B.C. Rail or the complete shambles the ferry system is now in.

So far I am 10 times the man Gordon Campbell will ever be. Is my Order Of B.C. in the mail yet? Dean Pilling Nanaimo

not Canada’s fight To the Editor, No good can come to Canada from participating in foreign civil wars. Regardless of which side wins, outsiders will be justly hated when the war is over. The overthrow of the democratic government of Jean Aristide in Haiti was a terrible mistake and a disgrace to Canada. Paul Martin should be charged as a war criminal. The invasion of Afghanistan to support the Bush administration’s theory that the Taliban government of that country was somehow responsible for the 9-11 bombings is clearly illegal. Canada should have supported the Taliban’s offer to send Osama bin Laden for trial at the international court in Europe instead of kowtowing to the American’s proclaimed “crusade.” The Libyan civil war will be the most disastrous for Canada. Both Canada and Libya are net exporters of oil, in competition on the world market. Except Libyan oil is much cleaner than our tarsands crude. Moammar Gadhafi is popular among many Libyans, especially the poor, because of his redistribution of the country’s wealth. Women are more free in Libya than any other Muslim country excepting Indonesia. The opposition there appears to be in rebellion to gain control of the oil and money rather than for democracy. Whoever wins, the majority will despise Canada for our participation, especially those who lost relatives and friends to Canadian bombs. Jim Erkiletian Nanaimo

The boom-and-bust history reflected in the collapse of the East Coast cod fishery, and in logging communities and mining towns, should teach us that when an opportunity to get something right on the environment comes along we must take immediate action or suffer the inevitable ecological and social consequences. Such a window of opportunity, to protect one of Canada’s most threatened wildlife species, has opened with the release of the federal government’s draft recovery strategy for boreal woodland caribou. A major prey species for wolves and other animals, including humans, woodland caribou are critical to sustaining the health of complex food webs that have evolved over millennia and to the well-being of hundreds of Aboriginal communities that depend on the animal for sustenance and survival. Although woodland caribou were once

to be self-sustaining, appear to have been written off to remove barriers to further industrial activities in their habitat. Instead of protecting and restoring the remaining habitat of these herds, the government is proposing controversial Band-Aid measures like killing thousands of wolves and other predators. This kind of management is aimed at stabilizing declining caribou populations rather than recovering them – a contravention of Canada’s Species at Risk Act. The federal government’s plans will help those herds deemed self-sustaining, but they fall far short of what is necessary to ensure that dozens of herds won’t perish. ◆ Written with contributions from David Suzuki Foundation Terrestrial Conservation and Science Program director Faisal Moola and biologist Jeff Wells. www.davidsuzuki.org r

Record year for at-risk Purple Martins NEST BOX recovery program showing significant improvement over last few years.

Western Purple Martins, a species at risk in B.C., set several new records despite the cold, wet spring and cool summer that were difficult for many plants and animals. In B.C., Western Purple Martins are at the northern limit of their range and only occur around the Strait of Georgia as far north as Campbell River and in the Gulf Islands. T he species was almost lost from B.C. when numbers reached a low of about five pairs in the mid-1980s due to nesting habitat loss. Purple Martins used to nest in abandoned woodpecker cavities in old trees and snags in burned forest, open treed areas or bordering fresh water. But much of their natural nesting habitat no longer exists due to logging, fire suppres-

sion, land clearing and urban development. A nest box recovery program started in 1986 and has grown to 90 sites, 50 of them active this year. The population of 585 pairs produced a record number of young – more than 2,200 nestlings raised successfully last year. “Although only about half of adult and young birds actually return each year, that made for quite an increase in the total number of Purple Martins returning to nest this year,” said Bruce Cousens, project coordinator of the program and senior biologist of Georgia Basin Ecological Assessment and Restoration Society in Nanaimo. The prolonged cool weather this summer made it difficult for adult birds to find enough flying insects

to feed themselves and their young and some regional areas produced more young than others. Overall it was another record-breaking year for production of young – more than 2,300 nestlings raised and 1,900 banded. “With average survival, this should result in another population increase next year, according to our population forecast model,” Cousens said in a press release. In the Nanaimo area, Purple Martins can be seen and heard between April and August at nest box

colonies at Newcastle Island Provincial Marine Park, Protection Island, Nanaimo River estuary, Gabriola Island, Departure Bay (off Stevenson Point Road), Lantzville (end of Jacks Road) and Nanoose Bay. There were 82 pairs nesting in the Nanaimo area last year and 110 this year with Newcastle Island being the largest local colony with 25 pairs. Additional information about the B.C. Purple Martin Recovery Program is available at www.georgiabasin. ca and www.saveourmartins.org.

Sarah Hagen performs a series of concerts at the Port Theatre, beginning Tuesday (Sept. 20).

Cozy classics

Concert pianist Sarah Hagen aims to make classical music more accessible to audiences with Port Theatre series BY MELISSA FRYER THE NEWS BULLETIN

arah Hagen has a theory about why people avoid classical concerts. So the pianist designed a concert series reminiscent of a performance in her living room. “People get put off by how strict classical music seems,” Hagen said. “I set it up to be a little more casual.” Hagen is hosting the Coffee Concert Series at the Port Theatre over the next few months. The first in the series, set for Tuesday (Sept. 20) at 10:30 a.m., features Hagen on piano, performing with Laura Karney on oboe. The concerts take place in the Port Theatre’s lobby to make the shows feel a little less formal. The weekday morning time slot, though, makes the concerts feel more decadent, she said. Hagen took up the piano at age seven

and fell in love with the grand instrument. “We all played the piano,” she said, of her siblings. “Everyone had to get their Grade 5 piano – family rule.” But unlike her siblings, Hagen looked forward to her lessons and practices, running home after school every day to play, often not bothering to take off her backpack before sitting at the bench. Looking back, she said the piano is a sole instrument, one that allows the player to create an entire piece of music without having to wait for another section or instrument. “Nothing else existed,” she said. “It was a whole world.” Hagen performed all over the world as a chamber musician and spent 10 years on faculty at the Comox Valley Youth Music Centre. She was recognized as the valley’s Cultural Ambassador of the Year in 2006. ◆ See ‘CLASSICAL’ /21

Satyr Players stage Betty’s Summer Vacation, by Christopher Durang, at Malaspina Theatre Sept. 29-Oct. 1. The play is entirely run by students, who studied technical and performance aspects of theatre. Betty’s Summer Vacation is the story of an average young woman – Betty – who rents a summer share at the beach with her chatty friend, Trudy. Despite Trudy’s constant chatter, all seems well and Betty thinks this is the perfect place to sit, sleep and tan, finally getting the relaxation she deserves. But soon Betty’s luck turns to lunacy as various characters turn up, all with odd little quirks, such as three “beings” which act as a laugh track throughout the show. The play tests the boundaries between where funny should come to a halt before it becomes strange. “Betty’s Summer Vacation is a wacky and bizarre comedy that pushes the line of what funny and strange hilarity really is,” said director Jon Greenway, a second-year theatre student. “It will be fun to see how all our actors will work in areas that go outside their comfort zones.” Doors open at 7 p.m., with the show starting at 7:30 p.m. Tickets $5. Please call 250-7406100 for more information.

Long & McQuade Music Is Moving!

Rockin’ out Emily Spiller, winner of Best Female Artist at the Vancouver Island Music Awards earlier this year, performs at Diners Rendezvous Saturday (Sept. 17). Joining her are Alexandria Maillot and hip hop artist Alexander Reyes. Tickets $20/advance; $25/door. Doors open 7 p.m. Please call 250-740-1133.

As the renovation dust settles at the new Long & McQuade store at 620 Comox Road., no one could be happier than the new store manager, Jason Friesen. “We’re excited for the larger space to house a larger selection of products and brands. Our lineup will include boutique and high-end options.” added Friesen, “especially in guitars, recording and keyboards.”

The freshly renovated 8,000 square foot space is the former location of Music Maxx, centrally located on the edge of downtown shopping. The ofﬁ ﬁcial moving date for Long & McQuade is September 16, through the store is open during renovations.

Ensuring your student is insured pile of prized possessions that your child is planning to take with them to school. Add up the cost of their furniture, clothing, textbooks, cell phone, entertainment equipment, and computer. Could you afford to replace it all?

CINDY SCHILLER

Senior Manager, Island Savings Insurance Services

f your child is going away for studies and will be renting, it’s important to protect their belongings against burglary, fire, and water damage. Of course, some things are irreplaceable (like that teddy bear they’ve had forever), but insurance can provide you with the funds to purchase things that have been lost.

In most cases, when your kids are living away from home temporarily while going to school, their belongings can be covered under your home insurance. Ask your insurance advisor to check your policy with you to ensure your children are covered.

The last thing your student needs to worry about during exams is replacing their laptop or textbooks. Insurance professionals can set you up with proper coverage, so that if your child ever needs it, they can replace what was lost or stolen. Smart Tip: When your child leaves home for the first time, talk to them about safety precautions, like how to use a fire extinguisher and how to contact family in an emergency.

At Island Savings, we’re not just financial experts; we’re insurance experts too, and we want to keep your family protected. Come in to our Woodgrove branch and talk to Amy, Tammy, Grace, or Jen. Let us help you find the best insurance package for you.

To understand why insurance is a good idea, just take a look at the

The store’s Music Education Centre has ten brandnew lesson studios where students of all ages can learn to play their favorite instrument. “It’s cool,” says Friesen, “we’ve got everyone from elementary school kids learning the drums to one customer in his sixties who is learning to play bass for the very ﬁrst time.” The new MEC coordinator, Jenna Webb, is busy scheduling students for fall lessons with spaces ﬁlling up fast. For lessons rates and availability, call Jenna at 250-390-1007, or stop by for a tour of the new studios after September 17 at 620 Comox Road.

TTwo Canadian bands bring unique sound to Queen’s stage A different kind of wildlife will be roaming across the country this fall. Fresh off its Canadian and U.S. tours, followed by Ontario dates supporting Young The Giant, Toronto-based band Wildlife joins Hollerado for a show at the Queen’s next week. A fixture in the Toronto concert scene

Wildlife’s debut album Strike Hard, Young Diamond was released late last year. Hollerado gained international recognition through tours of China and South America and has played with musical elites including Jack White’s The Dead Weather, The Black Lips, Girl Talk, Andrew W.K. and Titus Andronicus.

Hollerado’s songs combine the melody and energy of ’90s Weezer and Supergrass with the irreverent wit of Stephen Malkmus and their shows that have been described as elementary school recess with beer and piñatas and acid at a house party. The band was nominated for Best New Group at the 2011 Juno Awards.

The two Canadian bands share the bill at the Queen’s next Thursday, which is also the seven-year anniversary of promoter Got Pop Concerts. Doors open at 9 p.m. Tickets are $10/ advance from Lucid, Harbour City Music, Tranceformations and the Queen’s; $15/ door.

HARBOUR CITY BINGO

2011

◆ From /17 For more than a decade, Hagen considered why more people don’t share her love of classical music. What she found was that classical music is very demanding on the listener. “It’s really the only kind of music you listen to in complete silence,” Hagen said. “That’s part of the listening experience.” Unlike a rock or folk concert where guests cheer and dance, a classical concert requires concentration. Rather than trying to change that, Hagen worked with it, allowing moments of relaxation between songs so that people can laugh, sigh or even stretch to break up the intensity of the concert. “It’s really hard work to listen,” she said. The partnership with the Port Theatre came about after Hagen met general manager Bruce Halliday at an event in Vancouver. They had the same vision for classical chamber concerts. Hagen invited musicians she knew personally were very talented, including Karney, whom she met during an event in Banff. Hagen also performs a solo show on Oct. 25. Sharon Stanis, performing violin on Nov. 22, came very highly recommended, said Hagen. Chad Louwerse, a baritone singer who performs Jan. 17, fell in love with and married one of Hagen’s close friends. Ariel Barnes, on cello, wraps up the series with Hagen on April 3. “We’re all performing the music together,” Hagen said. Tickets $25; $22/members; $15/students. Please call 250-754-8550 or visit www.porttheatre.com.

Singers add to big band sound What do Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Doris Day, Perry Como and Rosemary Clooney have in common? They all began their singing career as featured vocalist with a big band. That was the way countless singers started out, right up to the time that big bands ceased to be economically viable. It was a great way to gain musical experience, before striking out on their own. Those opportunities are not available to aspiring singers today â&#x20AC;&#x201C; except in Nanaimo. The Nanaimo Musicians Association Big Band has long-time connections with Vancouver Island University. The band, comprised of some of the midIslandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best big band musicians, has been directed by Vancouver Island University faculty members Steve Jones and Bryan Stovell for most of the last 20 years. Top VIU jazz program students play in the band, and vocal students from that program are able to take advantage of this unique opportunity to work with a great big band. Diana Krall sang with the band when she was in high school. This combination of talents will be on show Oct. 5, 7:30 p.m., when the NMA Big

Band extends the invitation to Come Fly With Us at Malaspina Theatre for a concert featuring vocalists Sydney Needham and Niall Harvey. Needham was born and raised in Victoria into a musical family, and has been singing from an early age. She trained with Victoria legend Louise Rose and performs in a variety of musical styles. She was the winner of Victoria Idol contest in 2011, and is currently studying vocal jazz at VIU. Harvey hails from the Comox Valley, and as well as singing in the style of Sinatra and Michael Buble, he also plays trumpet. He plays and sings with several local bands, and is also enrolled in the jazz program. Tickets for the concert are $10; $5/ students at Tom Lee Music, Bastion Trophies and Fascinating Rhythm.

Clippers players take advantage of exhibitions TEAM FACES Victoria Friday (Sept. 16).

BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

The Nanaimo Clippers know these are just exhibition games. And yet they also know how important these games really are. The city’s B.C. Hockey League team plays its final two pre-season games Friday (Sept. 16) and Saturday against the Victoria Grizzlies. There are two primary goals this weekend, said coach Mike Vandekamp. He wants players to impress individually and also improve their team play. The roster was down to 24 players after the weekend and needs to be at 21 next week. “It’s certainly going to be the last audition for some of our players,” Vandekamp said. He said the final few cuts will be the hardest, because he believes the current group of players can all play at the junior A level. Trevor Fitzgerald, Clippers forward, said the individual competition will be on players’ minds

during the final pre-season games. “Everyone’s playing their hardest. They don’t want to be that last cut,” he said. “So it’s a pretty big battle in that sense.” He also noted that winning, even in the pre-season, helps build the right team attitude. “It’s really setting the tone for the year,” Fitzgerald said. “It doesn’t mean a whole lot stats-wise, but mentally it’s definitely a huge thing.” Vandekamp said he wants to see players limit mistakes and “get closer to the structured team” he wants them to be when the puck drops on the 2011-12 season. “This is where we really need to get sharp and prepare so we’re ready for that first game of the season and we come out with the best preparation and best effort that we can come out with,” said Andrew Gladiuk, Clippers forward. These pre-season games could also have implications beyond opening night – the coach pointed out that the Clips and Grizz face off several times this fall, so one team could gain a mental edge this weekend. “These next games are huge,” said Josh Phillips, Clippers defenceman.

Team makes choices on goaltenders

GREG SAKAKI/THE NEWS BULLETIN

Nanaimo Clippers forward Brodie Jamieson, middle, doesn’t let Alberni Valley Bulldogs opponent Oliver McCluskey crash the crease against Clippers goalie Billy Faust during Sunday’s B.C. Hockey League pre-season game at Frank Crane Arena.

“I think they can really define us as a team going into the regular season and definitely could be huge confidence boosters if we can win them.” ICE CHIPS … The Clippers and the Grizzlies play Friday at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena. The next night the teams play at Sooke … The Clips faced the Cowichan Valley Capitals on Wednes-

day night after press time … The Clippers said their eight-goal outburst in Sunday’s pre-season win over the Alberni Valley Bulldogs was an encouraging sign. “We’ve got a lot of guys with a lot of firepower,” Fitzgerald said. “Right up to the fourth line, all those guys could potentially be a first-liner.”

Quickfacts ◆ NANAIMO CLIPPERS end the pre-season with a home-and-home series against the Victoria Grizzlies. ◆ FRIDAY (SEPT. 16) the teams will face off at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena. Tickets are $7.

The Nanaimo Clippers have settled on their netminding tandem, so now they can build the remainder of the team from the goaltenders out. Billy Faust and Chris Eiserman – two Americans – will be the two goalies on the roster when the Clips open their 2011-12 B.C. Hockey League season. “Billy came in with the most experience, he came in in great shape, he’s shown great leadership qualities early on. I’ve really liked his attitude and his work ethic. He’s mature and he’s played well,” said Mike Vandekamp, Clippers general manager. “[Eiserman] is a big goalie, a little more raw but he’s also mature. He’s got a bright future ahead of him. He’s got some work to do on his game, as does everybody, but I believe he’s going to be a real good goalie at this level.” Faust, a 20-year-old from Alta Loma, Calif., played for the Penticton Vees last season and is listed at 5-foot-11, 175 pounds. Eiserman, an 18-year-old from West Newbury, Mass., played with the Valley Junior Warriors in Massachusetts last season. He is 6-foot-3, 210. “There’s not going to be a starter-backup scenario…” Vandekamp said. “They’re both going to get their opportunites to start.”

The V.I. Raiders, once again, had a recordsetting offensive game in Saturday’s 52-8 win against the rival Westshore Rebels. But the stat that most players seemed to be talking about came on the defensive side of the ball – zero catches by Rebels receivers. Vi c ’s q u a r t e r b a ck s attempted 14 passes. Some were dropped and some sailed incomplete. The rest were batted away, broken up or intercepted. “When your DBs have more catches than the receivers, it’s a pretty awesome day,” said Matthew “Snoop” Blokker, Raiders coach. “What a great group of athletes and what a great group of competitors. It just allows us to do so many different things defensively when they’re playing like that.” ◆ See ‘DEFENSIVE’ /B8

Linebacker player of week The V.I. Raiders have the No. 1 defence in the B.C. Football Conference, but it took until Week 7 for one of their players to earn individual recognition from the league. Linebacker Andrew Oake was named the BCFC’s Defensive Player of the Week after Saturday’s 52-8 win over the Westshore Rebels. He had six tackles, a batted ball and a fumble recovery for a touchdown. It was Oake’s first TD in junior. “I saw the ball pop out so I reached down and grabbed it and I saw the goal line in front of me so I dove for it,” he said.

R E FLYNOTICE! WATCH

FOR OUR FLYER

The V.I. Raiders are scrambling to fill a major hole in the defence after veteran Nick Woznesensky went down with injury early in Saturday’s 52-8 win over the Westshore Rebels. The defensive tackle, who has four and a half sacks this season and led the league in that category when he got hurt, suffered a lowerbody injury. As of Tuesday night, the Raiders were still waiting to learn to learn the extent of Woznesensky’s injury but coach Matthew “Snoop” Blokker said it’s thought to be severe and could keep the vet out until at least the playoffs. Since the B.C. Football Conference’s trade deadline is today (Sept. 15), Blokker said he’s been working the phones trying to acquire another defensive tackle. Failing that, the team might consider shuffling someone over from the offensive line.

VIU women’s team gets offence kick started

M’s game all about work rate

The first half of the first game of the season was a little frustrating for coach Anup Kang and the VIU women’s soccer team. But then Emma Johansson tied up the game at Capilano, 1-1, and the M’s went on to win 3-1. “That first goal just started us off,” said Caity Genereaux, VIU veteran. “Anup would like to say it started when he kicked the tent post.” The goals not only eased frustration, but also answered questions about the team’s offensive capa-

bilities. Without a proven “superstar” scorer, Kang said, the women have to put team play first. “Attack more as a team and when the counter-attack is there, take advantage of that,” he said. Three goals in Week 1 is a positive sign, Genereaux said. “I think so. It wasn’t just a 1-0 win, we actually sealed the deal at the end.” GAME ON … The VIU women play Douglas on Saturday at 1 p.m. at Mariner Field, then host Kwantlen on Sunday at noon.

BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

he VIU Mariners wouldn’t dream of playing any other way. Vancouver Island University’s men’s soccer team, under coach Bill Merriman, has developed a trademark style of soccer. It’s won them a lot of games; it’s won them a provincial championship; it’s won them a national championship. It’s all about work rate. That’s the buzz-phrase every single time the VIU Mariners take the pitch. “The big thing about the work rate is that every player, from the opening whistle, gives everything they’ve got,” Merriman said. “And the only time when they do come off is when they have nothing left in the tank.” Work rate is a team concept. If one player makes a mistake, a teammate gets back and covers for him. If a player gets stripped of the ball, the work doesn’t end there. “When we lose the ball, we’re getting it right away and we just don’t rest,” said Jared Stephens, one of the team captains. “We work as a team and we work for each other, that’s the biggest thing. When you lose the ball and you’re thinking about your teammates first, that’s when you get back.” Stephens said the Mariners are a skilled team, no

doubt, but he doesn’t think they’re the most skilled team. So instead, they make sure they’re the hardest-working team on the pitch every game they play, all game long. Veteran midfielder Chris Arnett has been playing for Merriman as long as any of the players, and has been hearing about work rate all along. “To me it means 90 minutes of work. There’s no saving yourself for any sort of last few minutes,” Arnett said. “As soon as that first whistle blows, you put your head down and you lay everything on the field.”

VIU golfers play with ‘moxie’ MEN’S TEAM eyes success at nationals.

BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

Vancouver Island University’s golfers are excited about the onset of another season. In fact, they wish it had started a month ago. Coach Kevin Oates said his players all had great success in of f-season tour nament play during the summer, with Kristian Hrabowych, for example, winning the Nanaimo Amateur. The guys were on top of their game then, Oates said, and he expects them to still be in fine form as they open the Pacific Western Athletic Association schedule Saturday (Sept. 17) in Kamloops. The M’s are beginning defence of the B.C. championship they won last year. It was a down-to-the-wire finish in 2010, as two VIU golfers drained birdie putts on the 18th green of the final round of the season

to win the title by two strokes. “It shows that we do have the moxie to still make the putts or the shots that we need to make when everything’s on the line,” said Matt Cella,

captain of this year’s team. “Which is really what golf comes down to – all the practice and the casual rounds that you play are all preparations for that one moment when everything’s on the line.”

Now that the players have seen what they can do, said Oates, they’re anxious to see if they can go one better. “The big excitement this year is the chance to go one step further and finish up with a good score at nationals after doing well at provincials,” said the coach. “There’s some unfinished business there, so to speak. So I think that’s really got them motivated more than anything else.” The Mariners golfers are a confident group, Cella said. They’re also a tight-knit team, which he said is more important on the golf course than one might think. “We all have respect for each others’ games. We all know that we’re very capable, confident golfers. If you’re not having the best day, then your teammates are going to back you up.” The M’s won’t be hosting any tournaments this season. They hope to qualify for nationals, which will be held in Charlottetown next month. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Defensive backs gain confidence ◆ From /B2 Coach Matt Blokker said people sometimes forget that the DB corps is the youngest group on the Raiders roster. Jesse Ehrenberg, defensive backs coach, said Saturday’s nocatches-allowed game will help the young players a lot. “They have the confidence to not allow catches against themselves, through all five positions – safeties, halfbacks and corners,” he said. And that’s a huge part of the mental

game, said Tremaine Apperley, the veteran of the unit. “Confidence is one of the key things for a DB because if you get beat, everyone sees it,” Apperley said. “A game like that is definitely going to give our whole group confidence.” The unit won’t be over-confident, though. Apperley said there were plenty of mistakes and he knows he was out of position at times. “There’s stuff that can be worked on, so hopefully we can just build off of it and con-

tinue to shut teams out,” he said. Ehrenberg said the basic coverage scheme has been kept relatively simple to allow the young group to grow. “We’re really buying into the zone,” Apperley said. “We like playing zone so we’re able to sit back there and watch what the quarterback is doing and just make plays.” Two of the biggest defensive plays on Saturday came from Adam Laurensse, who hawked his second and third interceptions of the season to move into second place in the B.C. Football Conference in that category (see page B10). 0 “We stuck to the

basics,” Laurensse said. “Everybody did their job today. We’re growing each game, climbing up.” Of course, the entire Raiders defence combined to make Saturday’s unique feat possible. Pressure from the front seven kept Westshore’s quarterbacks off-balance when they threw. “If that D line’s faster, then it’s easier to cover somebody for three seconds than it is for five seconds,” Ehrenberg said. GAME ON … The Raiders play the Kamloops Broncos on the road Saturday (Sept. 17). Next home action is Sept. 24 against the Chilliwack Huskers. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Experience the difference that Quality makes!

Pathfinder finds its way on, off-road RUGGED SUV hauls families, trailers, or both.

BY NEIL MOORE

UVs and crossovers have, for the most part, evolved into what buyers really want – which is an all-purpose, all-wheel-drive vehicle that provides plenty of room for passengers and cargo. And these days that includes loads of amenities, a commanding view of the road and the kind of forgiving ride you’d expect from a family sedan. All that, along with the ability to handle mud and a few potholes on the way to the cottage. In short, consumers want a less-wimpy alternative to the minivan. For 25 years, this SUV has with each generation continued to improve both in content, power and performance. Style is a personal decision, and I’ll admit being partial to a truckier look in vehicles that claim offroad prowess. For 2011, the Pathfinder continues with its rugged, go-anywhere styling in its short front overhangs, bold, chrome grille and large trapezoidal headlamps that sweep into powerful wheel arches over big (optional) 18-inch alloys. But the Pathfinder’s ruggedness always has been more than skin deep. Beneath its sheet metal is a fully boxed, allsteel ladder frame based

The 2011 Pathfinder still looks the part of an off roader with beefy, truck-like styling, pronounced wheel arches and short front and rear overhangs. Despite its rugged exterior, this SUV still rides comfortably on city streets.

The interior of the 2011 Pathfinder LE is appointed with leather seating surfaces and a full suite of amenities.

From the rear, the Pathfinder looks like it means business as it cuts through the high grass.

on the full-sized Armada SUV. This provides a solid mounting for the suspension, which in this case, provides a surprisingly civilized ride. Up front is a longtravel, double wishbone suspension with coilover shocks and large

stabilizer bar. In back is an independent doublewishbone design with the coils located on the toe control link with stabilizer bar. The long wheelbase, which allows for a large passenger cabin with three standard rows of

seating, also enables a smooth, stable ride. The result is an offroad SUV that can handle city driving with aplomb. Choppy asphalt, speedbumps and other urban assaults are easily soaked up by a suspension that seems reason-

ably firm in the corners. There’s minimal lean for such a tall vehicle. I did not have the opportunity to do any serious rock crawling, or anything that would really challenge the Pathfinder’s all-mode four-wheel drive sys-

tem, which includes two-wheel-drive modes, electronically controlled transfer case and fourwheel limited-slip. It comes standard with a skid plate under radiator. Roof rails are standard on all Pathfinders (and should be on any vehicle of this kind), and the rear tailgate has a flip-up window so that you don’t have to open the entire tailgate when carrying long objects. Running boards come with SV and LE trim levels, and are a good idea if, like most people who buy these vehicles, you spend more time carrying kids to soccer than fording rivers and descending boulderstrewn slopes. The base vehicle comes standard with such features as 16-inch alloys, heated power mirrors, air conditioning, power windows and locks, eight-way driver manual seat adjustment, cruise control and six-speaker audio system. The SV trim level adds 17-inch alloys, fog lights, running boards, dual-zone climate control, rearview monitor, upgraded stereo with in-dash CD changer and steering wheel controls, heated front seats, adjustable pedals and multiinfo display monitor. My tester was the fullyloaded LE model with leather seats, smart key system, heated steering wheel, power moonroof, 10-speaker audio system with subwoofer and Bluetooth. ◆ See ‘NISSAN’ /B17

Camaro ZL1 brings team of horses This time Chevy has really brought out the cavalry. The 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supercharged 6.2-litre engine is rated at 580 horsepower, making it the most-powerful production Camaro ever. The 2012 Camaro ZL1 surpasses the advertised power of the legendary 1969 Camaro ZL1â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 427 cubic-inch big block by more than 150hp while meeting modern emissions requirements.

The all-aluminum LSA supercharged V8 is part of GMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s small-block engine family. For a solid foundation, the engineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lower end uses six-bolt main bearing caps that clamp and lock in the forged steel crankshaft to the deep-skirt block. Its 1.9-litre blower uses an efficient four-lob rotor set and compact intercooler to deliver boosted air into the high-flow cylinder heads. The ZL1 will be offered with

either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. The manual features 30 per cent more torque capacity than in the Camaro SS. The higher torque capacity results from a strengthened output shaft, high-strength rear housing, and additional roller bearing. Similarly, the automatic has been strengthened to handle the torque and horsepower produced by the 6.2L supercharged small block.

The 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is the most powerful ever built with a whopping 580 horsepower. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 150hp more than the legendary 1969 Camaro ZL1.

One-person Volkswagen not meant for HOV lane Volkswagenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NILS, a vision of â&#x20AC;&#x153;minimalist mobilityâ&#x20AC;?, is set to make the auto show circuit. This one-person concept car, which features an aluminum space frame, wing doors and freestanding wheels, has the dynamic performance of a sports car, yet travels silently, and with zero emissions. With a range of 65 kilometres and a top speed of 130km/h, NILS would be ideal vehicle for many typical commuters, Volkswagen said. NILS is a very compact car that requires extremely little space in traffic. It has the same basic layout as a Formula 1 race car, with the driver in the middle, the engine in back, and freestanding outboard wheels. Power comes from an electric motor with a reasonably small 15kW nominal power and shortterm peak power of 25kW. The centrepiece of the electric drive system is the lightweight 19kg electric motor together with its transmission and battery.

The second generation of Bentleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s iconic Continental GTC convertible will debut at this monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s International Automobile Exhibition in Frankfurt. Taking cues from its GT coupe sibling launched last year, the new Continental GTC builds on the foundation of the previous cabriolet, which premiered in 2006. Bentleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design and engineering teams have improved virtually every aspect of the iconic convertible. Twenty-inch wheels are now standard with three styles of 21-inch wheel, a first for GTC, available as an option, reinforcing the distinctive, sporting stance of the new Bentley. The four-seater luxury convertible features a new, even more spacious and sumptuous handcrafted cabin, with soft-touch leather hides, an extensive range of wood veneers, cool-touch metals and deep-pile carpets. There are 17 standard soft-touch leather hide colours with six colour split combinations and seven veneers. Under the hood resides a more powerful 6.0litre, twin-turbocharged W12 engine as well as a new QuickShift transmission enabling faster gear changes than ever before.

◆ From /B11 No matter which model you choose, the Pathfinder is easy to configure for both passengers and cargo. To start, you’ll find 467 litres of space behind the 50/50 third row. That’s enough for a full load of groceries or travel bags.

Drop these seats flat, and this space grows to 1,393L with a flat cargo floor. You can max out the cargo hold by dropping the 40/20/40 second row. To do this, you first flip forward the seat cushions and then fold the backrests for a total of 2,243L.

STOPPERS is asking the public’s assistance in locating these wanted individuals.

The individuals pictured here are wanted as of September 13, 13,, 2 2011

All individuals listed must be presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.

THIS CRIME Break and enters interrupted by homeowners Two break and enters, one in central Nanaimo Sept. 2,

and the other in Lantzville on Sept. 7 were interrupted by homeowners. The first break-in took place in the 500 block of Rosehill Street on the morning of Friday, Sept. 2. In that incident at approximately 6:45 a.m., a 16-year-old living in the home came downstairs to find a male rummaging about. He confronted the male and got into a tussle with him, possibly cutting him in the process. The suspect fled and was not located by attending police. The suspect is described as being a fair-skinned First Nations male, late teens or early 20s and wearing a black and grey plaid jacket. The second break and enter took place in Lantzville Sept. 7 at 11:30 a.m. in the 7100 block of Lantzville Road. In that incident, the homeowners had stepped out for 30 minutes and upon returning, parked their vehicle in their garage and entered their home. The husband then realized he had forgotten something in the garage and when he went to retrieve it, came face-to-face with a would-be thief. The suspect was as surprised as the homeowner and ended up throwing a women’s purse at him and running out the front door. The suspect is described as a white male, early 20s, wearing white shorts and a white hoodie.

Shoplifter pulls scissors then ﬂees

A male shoplifter brandished a pair of scissors after being confronted and then fled the area. The man entered the Superette grocery store, at 687 Albert St., Saturday Sept. 10 at approximately 10:15 a.m., picked up an energy drink then left the store without paying. A store employee confronted him outside and demanded he hand over the drink. Instead of complying, the suspect pulled out a pair of scissors and threatened the clerk with them. He then jumped on a black BMX bicycle and left the area. The suspect is described as being a First Nations, early 30s, wearing black clothing and carrying a black and white pack sack.

Navy welcomes public to torpedo test range

OPEN HOUSE includes tours of helicopter and SAR demonstration.

Anyone wanting to learn more about the operations at Canadian Forces Maritime Experimental and Test Ranges will have their chance Saturday (Sept. 17). In celebration of Armed Forces Day, CFMETR is opening its doors to the public from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Overshadowed by the Comox air base to the north and the sprawling naval base to the south in Esquimalt, the Nanoose base has seen progressive developments in the secretive and often unseen world of underwater warfare. Every two years the unit seeks to change that by inviting the public for an in-depth look at the operations of this unique, joint

Canadian /U.S. facility, the only deep-water torpedo tracking range on the West Coast of North America. Visitors will be able to climb inside a Sea King helicopter, walk the decks of two U.S. naval ships and watch a Buffalo patrol aircraft and a Cormorant rescue helicopter conduct a search and rescue demonstration. Displays include an explosive ordnance from Comox, a bomb truck from Esquimalt and members of the Canadian Coast Guard, Nanaimo Coast Guard Auxiliary, local cadet units, the Naden naval band and RCMP National Underwater Recovery Training Centre will also be on hand. As well, 300 passes will be available for boat trips to Winchelsea Island, home to CFMETR’s Range Operations Centre. The range is at 3400 Fairwinds Dr. in Nanoose.

Bottle drive raises funds for Tour T de Rock YOUNG GIRLS do their part to support Cops for Cancer ride, father.

The daughters of a Nanaimo RCMP constable battling cancer are doing what they can to support the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock and their dad. Const. Mike Philip has battled head and neck cancer since 2008. “One night I couldn’t sleep and then all of a sudden the idea of

doing a cancer fundraiser, like a lemonade stand, came into my head,” said Sophie Philip, 8. She and her sister Emily, 11, set up a roadside iced tea stand in front of their house the next day and made $182. Now the girls want to raise more money with a bottle drive Saturday, (Sept. 17) at Pauline Haarer Elementary School, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The girls will present the money they raise from their drive to the Tour de Rock team when it rides through Nanaimo Oct. 2.

September is all about back-to-school – time to get back into routines, make lunches and go to bed early. And since there’s so much to do, it’s hard to make sure the family is focusing on learning. Lear ning together as a family is vital to a child’s future education. Doing family literacy activities not only helps develop children’s reading, writing and math skills, it also provides an opportunity for parents to learn something new too. Children raised in literate households are likely to enter Grade 1 with several thousand hours of one-to-one pre-reading experience behind them. Learning happens in many ways, especially in our day-to-day activities. In honour of September’s Life Literacy Month, ABC Life Literacy Canada offers 10 fun and easy ways to make literacy part of your family’s daily life. ◆ When making a grocery list, have your child write out the items you need to buy. ◆ At the store, ask your child to count out the money to make the purchase. ◆ Make it a habit to

LOWEST PRICES IN YEARS! Cali lifornia ifo a Whitte Shira iraaz

always read a story together at bedtime. ◆ When cooking dinner, involve your children in measuring the ingredients. This helps them understand fractions and measurements. ◆ Driving is the perfect opportunity to practise literacy. Read signs, billboards and licence plates together, and show your children the proper way to read a map. ◆ While on the Internet, make time to research something new that your family is interested in. Researching skills are important and help with reading and comprehension. ◆ In the car, sing along to songs on the radio. Singing encourages learning patterns o f wo rd s, r hy m e s and rhythms, and is strongly connected to language skills. ◆ When playing a board game, read the instructions aloud to each other or count how many spaces to travel around the board. ◆ Involve your kids when you pay bills. This will teach them strong financial skills early on in life. For other family literacy tips and activities, please visit www. familyliteracyday.ca.

A GREAT SEAFOOD BOUQUET to chefs Tom and Chad at Bayside Bistro in Parksville. Thanks for the best bouillabaisse ever. A BIG BOUQUET OF GRATITUDE to the lovely couple who invited me in after my accident just off Stewart Avenue. Thank you so much for your kindness and hospitality. It truly made my week.

A HEARFELT MUSICAL THANKS to Jason and all the gang at Long & McQuade for donating more than $600 worth of instruments to the Estevan music program and providing all the clients with so many smiles and giggles. You went far beyond what we could have ever imagined. You guys are amazing. Hugs and kisses.

A BOUQUET to Bunsmaster for having a large order for our out-oftown family reunion ready early so we could catch a ferry. They even went the extra mile and specially packaged it to survive the trip. The cinnamon buns were excellent. A SWINGING BOUQUET to the Nanaimo Blues Society for the wonderful three-day blues festival at the new venue – Maffeo Sutton Park. Nanaimo hasn’t had an exciting event like that for a long time. Looking forward to next year.

A BEEF F to those who like to complain about the ferry service. If you don’t like it, then move off the Island. Then it is not an issue for you.

q A VERY ANGRY BEEF F to whoever hit the fawn on Hammond Bay Road early Friday morning and left him there to die alone, afraid and hurt. I stayed with him for half an hour, comforting him as he slowly and painfully slipped away. Before he died he gave one last cry for his mom. Thanks to all the ladies who stopped and to the officer who came to the scene. I cried off and on all day wondering what kind of person could do this. A BEEF F to the driver who hit the white truck in the parking lot at Value Village recently and did extensive damage. My wife went shopping there to save money to spend on other expenses like school supplies and hockey for our children. I hope someone reports you. A BEEF. As a “valued” customer of a local cable company, I received a postcard in the mail telling me I could view a free movie. After viewing this movie, I was charged for it on my latest invoice. When I disputed this bill, I was told by a customer service representative that they had no knowledge of this offer and I would have to go to their local office to get the fee taken off my bill. A STINKY BEEF F to the older lady driving a white Mazda turning left at the Norwell/Ross roads intersection. I want you to know you just about hit me and my 11-month-old son, who

A BEEF F to the woman across the street. There’s a fine line between obsession and stalking. Back off. A BEEF F to the people who walk their dogs down a public path to the ocean and let their dogs bark continuously when they stop and talk to other dog owners. We do not appreciate listening to that disruptive noise. Control your dog.

I was pushing in a stroller, when we were in the crosswalk and you never did notice us. It is a good thing I was paying attention to your driving. Open your eyes and pay attention A BEEF F to the elderly lady who kept feeding our cat despite our pleas not to. Our cat was on a special veterinarian-prescribed diet and you caused her irreparable harm. Next time, think about the cat’s welfare first before you indulge your desire to have other people’s cats in your house.

A BEEF F to a company for withdrawing $427 from my bank account when the account was closed and paid up. The business admits an error occurred, but after two months, it has still not returned my money. ANOTHER BEEF F to the bus service for raising my hopes about keeping the bus stop on Uplands Drive. The company gave us a reprieve for one week, then took it away. If they gave us one week, they could have left it there.

A HUMONGOUS STINKY BEEF to people who smoke on their balconies. They get to pollute our fresh air, depriving us from breathing that same fresh air. Shame on you. Even if you’re told that you’re allowed to do so, it doesn’t make it right. You have no respect for others. How can you sleep at night knowing that other people have difficulty breathing because of you?

A BEEF F to the stores that had Halloween stuff for sale before Labour Day. This reminder that summer is over is not only depressing, but I’m also wondering who buys for Halloween in August?

A GENTLE BEEF F to the woman who did not hit me while I was riding my bike at the Comox and Wallace streets intersection. I’m fairly certain that you were running a red light. That isn’t the point. You were slowing down as soon as you saw me, and I was stopping as soon as I saw you. Our interaction was scary, but luckily neither one of us was hurt. Don’t feel extraordinarily bad.

THANK YOU to the couple at Save-On-Foods in Terminal Park who gave me a bouquet of flowers recently. It was most unexpected and I shall be eternally grateful for this thoughtful gesture.

BASKETS OF ROSES to Jan of Coast Optical in Wembley Mall in Parksville for his patience, skill, customer support and fair prices. I am grateful I chose Jan’s local business rather than a chain store for my first pair of glasses. Jan’s prices are competitive, his personal service exceptional and – best of all – I get to support a local businessman.

A BEEF F to a cable company for making it so difficult to get through on its phone line while trying to cancel my service. ANOTHER BEEF to TV stations for airing such drivel in the first place. Did you know there’s a show called “I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant”?

A HUGE BASKET OF ROSES to Sandra Petryk of Hoopla for her innovative and highly-skilled marketing services. I am really grateful that I chose Sandra as my social marketing coach. Working with her made my “sense of intimidation” disappear.

AN APPRECIATIVE BOUQUET to Sean of Junk to the Dump for cheerfully removing some heavy and awkward pieces of junk on an uncomfortably hot day. Good service.

A BEEF F to people who bring their garbage to my condominium complex and empty it in the complex’s garbage bin. We are now taking licence numbers and pictures of you and your vehicle and will post them. Maybe on Facebook someone would recognize you.

A BIG BOUQUET to Sydni at the COCO Café in Cedar for her cheerful personality and for making the best latté with the best designs on top.

A BIG BOUQUET to the person who cleared a path to the water at the beach off Blueback Road. This swimmer appreciates your efforts. It makes a high-tide swim so enjoyable.
