Jill McLennan organizes music for an upcoming concert at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. The congregation is celebrating 150 years in Nanaimo with events throughout the summer.
CHRIS BUSHTHE NEWS BULLETIN
BY CHRIS BUSHTHE NEWS BULLETIN
St. Andrew’s Presbyte-rian Church will host a vin-tage car and antique show this weekend as part of a series of events scheduled throughout the summer to celebrate the congrega-tion’s 150th anniversary in Nanaimo.
St. Andrew’s Presbyterian was established in 1865 by Rev. Robert Jamieson, who held services in Nanaimo’s courthouse until a sanctu-
ary was constructed on Fitzwilliam Street in 1866.
Nanaimo’s population was about 600 people then and 19 of them were listed on the Presbyterian communion roll, which included coal and railway developer Robert Dun-smuir.
In 1902 a movement started to amalgamate the large number of church denominations under the United Church.
“Between 1902 and 1925 this was hugely, hotly debated and our congrega-tion did not become part of that union, which is why we’re the oldest continu-ing Presbyterian congrega-tion,” said Karen Hovestad,
congregation member.In 1930, the cornerstone
was laid for a new church building at the corner of Franklyn and Robson streets, which remained the congregation’s place of worship until 1972 when the property was sold. A new, multipurpose building was constructed at the cor-ner of Departure Bay Road and Wassel Way where congregation continues to worship in its newest sanc-tuary opened in 1988.
The multipurpose build-ing remains home to vari-ous church programs, including a community lunch on Thursdays that feeds about 150 per week, including about 110 stu-
dents it draws from Wel-lington Secondary School.
“We’re feeding their mouths, feeding their tum-mies, feeding their souls in a very subtle way,” Hoves-tad said.
Also on this summer’s agenda is the creation of a gathering space behind the church. A dedication ceremony and laying of the cornerstone of the church constructed in 1930 is scheduled for Aug. 30.
The actual anniversary on Nov. 28 will be celebrated at Royal Canadian Legion Branch 256. For more infor-mation, including coming events, please visit www.standrewsnanaimo.ca.
Work underway to open Cedar for high school students next year
BY KARL YUTHE NEWS BULLETIN
With the go-ahead given by Nanaimo school district trustees in late April, district staff are working to get Cedar Secondary School up and running in time for the 2016 school year.
The school was being converted to an ele-mentary school as part of the 10-year facilities plan, but the current board reversed that deci-sion.
According to the district, steps to imple-ment conversion include the establishment of a school construction committee and a school consolidation working group and ongoing con-sultation with architect firm KMBR Architects Planners Inc.
General instruction rooms can be easily con-verted back, according to an update provided by Pete Sabo, school district director of plan-ning and operations, at the May 13 business committee meeting.
“There’s a number of improvements made to those rooms that are perfectly suitable for secondary,” Sabo said. “We’ve added extra net-work, extra outlets, mounts and we’re going to get equipment for ceiling projectors, etc., so basically, some of the work just results in upgraded classrooms.”
Sabo said the architect had its attention on areas that were presenting challenges, includ-ing conversion of rooms back to science labs.
“There’s the business ed rooms, which had been made smaller with a collaboration area in between, so we’re looking at models that could see us keeping that configuration or using another room in the school as business, and then technology space, which was three rooms divided into two, and we’re having dis-cussions around what that technology might look like,” he said.
Approximately $1 million has been set aside in the school district’s 2015-16 budget for the work.
Sabo said a school construction committee meeting is expected to be held in late May or early June.

Suspect found in bomb threat
Nanaimo RCMP investigating a bomb threat made to Woodlands Secondary School have identified a 15-year-old girl as a suspect.
Police announced the result of the investigation Friday, which started May 13 after the school district received a threat that a bomb could be in the school Thursday.
Sgt. Sheryl Armstrong, Nanaimo RCMP spokeswoman, said in a press release Friday that the student had accepted responsibility for her actions, RCMP school liaison officers and school district staff are working with the student and that a report will be forwarded to Crown counsel.
Nanaimo RCMP were on scene at Woodlands again Wednesday morning investigating another bomb threat made to the school.
If anyone has information, please contact Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345 or Crime Stoppers at 1-877-222-8477 or www.nanaimocrimestoppers.com.

City will argue its case on dams
BY GREG SAKAKIThe NeWS BulleTIN
The city will move forward with an appeal to try to buy itself more time to get its dam decision right.
In a split vote Tuesday, Nanaimo city council chose to pursue an appeal and a stay of the Dam Safety Sec-tion’s order to remediate the Colliery dams within six months.
Coun. Bill Bestwick made the two-part motion that the
city make the appeal and also meet with the province to present the city’s arguments.
Bestwick said Nanaimo is being asked to spend mil-lions over and above any likely damages from a flood event. He said the most recent reports show that the dams are seismically strong and suggested that a dam breach won’t lead to death and destruction.
“The downstream damages [would be] in the low mil-lions and we’re being asked to spend quadruple – mil-lions over and above what the loss of property and life will be,” Bestwick said. “So there’s kind of been a cost-benefit analysis.”
The city’s solicitor Reece Harding told council Tues-day that he doesn’t foresee an appeal being success-ful, but Bestwick said he thinks the appeal will have a greater chance of success if a Nanaimo delegation gets the chance to state its case to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.
“What I hope is that we can get it down to a reasonable, acceptable level of risk…” Bestwick said. “I would like to see the least expensive, least intrusive [solution], a lowered classification from the Dam Safety Section, and that we accept the risk.”

N a n a i m o H e r i -tage Days will likely improve with age, say promoters and orga-nizers.
Organizers were under the gun to get a new parade, fireworks and other activities arranged in time for the May long weekend after Empire Days cel-ebrations were can-celled in February, but vendors, local
entertainers and com-munity groups man-aged to carry out the weekend celebration.
“It was a beautiful, big turnout,” said Angie Barnard, event coordinator.
She said she heard some disappointment in turnout for the beer gardens, which estimates pegged at about 100 people, and for music in Diana Krall Plaza.
“I was thrilled with the number of parade participants in such a short period of time,” Barnard said. “It takes a lot of work, in some cases, to put those floats together and
rally enough people to make it work.”
Coun. Jerry Hong and the Nanaimo Youth Action Com-mittee entered a slip-a n d - s l i d e - t h e m e d float.Hong estimated 38 floats and would like to see as many as 60 enter in 2016. He credited community sponsorship and sup-port of the inaugural Nanaimo Heritage Days for its success.
“The turnout was spectacular,” Hong said. “The commu-nity stepped up and we had more than enough volunteers.”
Hong, who will be a technical advisor to
next year’s planning committee, agreed with Barnard that an advisory committee and formation of the Nanaimo Heritage Days Society will allow planning to start earlier for 2016.
“The key thing is get-ting enough advance planning so that we can get the market-ing and sponsorship right, so we can give those people who are contributing enough bang for their invest-ment,” Barnard said.

The Run for Life planning committee is made up of representatives from finan-cial institutions from across Vancouver Island. The 2015 fundraiser will help purchase equipment for two new operating rooms at NRGH.
Central Vancouver Island finan-cial institutions are inviting the public to join a fitness challenge for a good cause.
On Sunday (May 24), the Run for Life fundraiser will help Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation raise $1.5 million for the purchase of equipment still needed for the newly opened operating rooms at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital.
Last year, the hospital com-pleted more than 13,200 surgical procedures. The two new rooms mean an increase of operating
rooms from eight to 10.Since 2004, Run for Life has
raised more than $180,000 for the purchase of life-changing medical equipment at the hospi-tal. Organizers have challenged runners, and their pledgers, to break all previous records by raising more than $50,000 and registering more than 250 run-ners in this year’s fun run/walk.
Participants are encouraged to register at www.nanaimo hospitalfoundation.com/run, personalize their fundraising page, then invite family and friends to make a donation. Reg-ister before Friday (May 22) for the early bird price of $20.
Brochures with more informa-tion can be found at participat-ing banks.

It was 2008 when word first surfaced that B.C. farmland was being bought up to grow trees as a European carbon offset.
Reckitt Benckiser Inc., a British-based global manufacturer of household products such as Lysol spray and Calgon laundry soap, bought 1,500 hectares east of Vanderhoof and planted aspen.
Since tree growing is permitted in the Agricultural Land Reserve, a use intended for fruit, ornamental or nursery trees, no permission was needed. And to meet the carbon offset rules of the UN’s International Panel on Climate Change, a 100-year restrictive covenant against harvesting trees was issued by B.C.’s land titles office.
Goodbye farmland.After that deal, the B.C.
government changed legislation in 2011 to require permission from the Agricultural Land Commission to make these covenants valid. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick says he is waiting for that process to be tested.
It likely will be soon. Reckitt has bought another 7,000 hectares of cleared farmland from Prince George down
through the Cariboo to Quesnel. NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham has been tracking these acquisitions, and she says there are more deals in the works.
Last fall, the Bulkley Nechako Regional District wrote to Victoria Wood, Reckitt Benckiser’s “global head of sustainability,” telling her that “the planting of trees on
centrally located and productive agricultural lands is not appropriate” and would weaken local farm economies.
Wood responded that the RB Trees project targets only “marginally productive” land such as pasture, abandoned farms or those that have been up for sale
for long periods.Bob Simpson, mayor of
Quesnel, takes issue with the company’s claims. He said it includes prime alfalfa fields and historical ranch and forage crop lands. In one case, neighbours found out about the new use when they saw a helicopter spraying herbicide to prepare the area for tree seedlings.
In the Cariboo as in other rural B.C. areas, aging farmers want to retire and young people keen to work seven days a week are in short supply. So naturally there
is pressure to sell.Perhaps Letnick is right, and
the ALC will stop productive farmland from being turned back into forest. While we’re waiting for that, here are a couple of other questions.
What happens when these forests burn? The first big forest fire of 2015 grew out of control near Prince George last week. And since aspen doesn’t last 100 years, what is its real carbon offset value?
How’s that European carbon trading market doing? It’s a mess, with the cost of emitting a tonne of carbon dioxide fallen far below what’s needed to be effective.
Remember B.C’s Pacific Carbon Trust? This Gordon Campbell brainchild to sell carbon offsets was quietly greenhouse gassed after the Auditor General revealed its first two big projects were of questionable value.
Finally, does anyone really think that returning B.C.’s scarce farmland to forest is a good way to change the weather? Would it offset the loss of local production and trucking in farm produce from elsewhere?
And where are B.C.’s tireless food security advocates on this dubious scheme?

If there’s a monsoon next week, blame Bike to Work Week.
All joking aside, cyclists should be able to look forward to some sunny skies. That hasn’t always been the case in past years, but it would be appreciated, because we hope Bike to Work Week is successful.The annual cycling awareness event starts Monday (May 25) in Nanaimo and around B.C. as part of a provincial government ini-tiative to get more people pedalling.
Commuters are invited to challenge themselves by registering for Bike to Work Week as individuals or as part of a team, and they’re encouraged to cycle through ‘celebration stations’ where they can enter prize draws and receive refreshments. Students can also participate by signing up to bike to school.
If people commit to two-wheeled com-muting, or if they don’t, there are indica-tions that Nanaimo is becoming a more cycle-friendly city. New bike lanes have been built and painted in recent months on Bowen Road, Bruce Avenue and Bush Street, with the expectation of more to come.
Nanaimo’s previous city council clearly set out cycling as a priority when it approved, one year ago, a transportation master plan that seeks to quintuple bike trips over the next 25 years. That mindset could even carry over to other types of city planning, as the municipality envisions development densifying into community hubs with shopping and services concen-trated for ease of travel for cyclists and pedestrians.
And there are dreams of a rail trail pathway that could create bicycle tourism, especially if other Vancouver Island com-munities have the same idea.
We support those who wish to be spokespeople – pun intended – during Bike to Work Week, and we hope everyone else will at least share the road.
It’s a nice day for a bike ride, and it’s always a nice day to contribute to a clean-er city.
It’s a nice day to bike to work

To the Editor,Re: Council
asks for stay on Colliery dam order, April 16.
I have an all-too-simple
solution to this ongoing dam debate. Just declare the Colliery dams an historical site, thereby
not only saving the now-too-overburdened Nanaimo taxpayers money from further finan-
cial shrinkage, but also just to stop all of this continuing madness.

To the Editor,Re: Coast Guard hysteria
sinks lower, Opinion, April 30.
The “ship monitoring sta-tions” that the columnist refers to are more than just that. Coast Guard Marine Communications and Traffic Services Centres perform two distinct but complementary functions.
They provide vessel traffic services, much like air traf-fic control for ships, and provide communications and coordination to detect distress situations similar to a 911 centre for mari-ners. They also broadcast maritime safety informa-tion, screen vessels enter-ing Canadian waters and more.
Industry Minister James Moore is quoted as say-ing that “these fears were also raised back in the ’60s and ’70s, when lighthouses were de-staffed.” The last round of lighthouse de-staffing in the late ’90s was halted after only a few lighthouses had been de-staffed.
The recent 30-minute
outage in Prince Rupert should be a wake-up call. For people on the water it was the equivalent of air-traffic control and 911 being out of service from Vancouver Island to Alaska.
When you get in trouble on the water, seconds count.

To the Editor,Can someone
enlighten me as to why the majority of Chinese manufactured products I purchase end up broken, and usually very soon after purchase?
I have to search hardware stores, and my personal accumu-lation of discarded bits and pieces to fix or end up throwing them out in disgust. The concepts are good, and the items attractively presented, but the components
are not adequately thought out with regards to wear, and function; and the materials usually infe-rior.
I have never experi-enced this with Ameri-
can and European products.
Unfortunately, this is an environmental dis-posal disaster in the ‘making.’

To the Editor,I am a person whom still thinks the
Canadian baby seal hunt is wrong. I am sad to hear 400,000 is the number the Canadian fisheries will allow to be clubbed and skinned just for the fur. Many countries such as Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and the European union have banned the import and export of seal furs.
The ancient Inuit hunters who wore the skins of mature animals they hunted for food did so with honour as this was how they survived in the natural world. Those who wear the skins of the baby seals of a mass commercial slaughter do so with dishonour. Having respect for nature should not be viewed as a subjec-tive value of the times because having respect for others creatures stems from the immutable objective value system coded in us.
Apart from animal rights groups the general public outcry against the unethi-cal seal hunt has waned because of both apathy and from being disconnected and de-sensitized over the years. Our modern, competitive, materialistic, debt ridden, social media obsessed and hyper-capitalist society is entrapping humanity in a state of perpetual ado-lescence because there is little time to consider true values, purity of soul, con-servation and universal truths.

Peter Kurpita performs at the First Baptist Church, 1650 Waddington Rd., on Sunday (May 24) at 3 p.m. Kurpita, who grew up in Nanaimo, will be performing locally for the first time in more than five years.
Pianist comes home
When pianist Peter Kurpita elected to travel to Europe more than a decade ago, it was a deci-sion that would change his life forever.
“I decided to take a year off and I went to Austria,” Kurpita said.
As strange as it may sound, Austria was not the music graduate’s first choice.
“Actually I wanted to go to Paris first because they had a seat sale for Paris, Ber-lin or Vienna,” he said. “I had a little French in high school and I didn’t have any German.”
Unfortunately for Kurpita, when he went to book a flight to Paris he discovered that all the seats
were sold out.“I had to chose between Berlin
and Vienna and I took Vienna,” he said.
That decision would pay divi-dends. Shortly after arriving in Austria, Kurpita landed a job as a piano instructor at Anton Bruck-ner Private University and he also fell in love.
“I tried out for the job and I got it,” he said. “I also met my wife
there. It was a good choice.”
On Sunday (May 24) Kurpita, who now lives in Japan with his wife, will be holding a piano recital at the First Baptist Church.
Kurpita’s perfor-mance in Nanaimo is his first in more than five years.
“It’s a classical pro-gram and I played it
about three months ago,” Kurpita said. “I’ve got a lot of people who have supported me here in the past.”

Soul floods the Port TheatreThe Island Soul Choir will be perform-
ing with Vancouver-based choir Rhythm’n’ Roots on Sunday (May 24) at the Port The-atre at 2:30 p.m.
Tickets to the concert are $22.50 for adults and $5 for children under five.
For more information, including ticket pur-chases, please visit www.porttheatre.com.
From /11Kurpita’s recital will see him
perform pieces by Beethoven, Mozart and Liszet.
“My goal is to sing on the piano,” Kurpita said. “I don’t want it to be with a very strict pulse, I want there to be some sort of freedom.”
Kurpita was born in Scarborough, Ont., but grew up in Nanaimo.
He began playing the piano at the age of 12, which is considered late.
“You normally start off when you’re quite young, like four or five,” Kurpita said. “You develop your ear much more efficiently than if you start off later.”
Despite getting a late start on the piano, Kurpita has been able to carve out a career as a music instructor and pianist.
Kurpita says that although he had a limited knowledge of Ger-man, he was able to teach music in Vienna because music is a lan-
guage of its own. “It’s never really a challenge
with music,” he said.“I got a job first time I was there and I didn’t know German,” he said. “I basically learned on the job.”
After residing in Austria for 10 years, Kurpita moved to Nagasaki, Japan, with his wife nearly seven years ago in an effort to be closer to her parents.
Moving to Japan was an easy deci-sion for Kurpita.
“As far as I am concerned you
can’t really have a relationship when one person is on the other side of the world,” he said.
Kurpita performs at the First Baptist Church, 1650 Waddington Rd., on Sunday (May 24) at 3 p.m. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students. Children under 12 are free.

Nanaimoites will have the opportunity to not only share their hopes and dreams, but realize them through works of art.
That’s the basis behind a brand-new event called The Art of Life Dreams, which will take place Saturday (May 23) at Diana Krall Plaza.
Organized by local artist and life coach Janet McDonald, the event will see a number of art-ists and life coaches converge on the downtown plaza, where they will be taking people’s dreams and transforming them into paintings.
“We will have life coaching on hand so people can get their 15-minute life coaching session around a life dream of theirs,” McDonald said. “Out of it they will determine a word or phrase that represents that dream that the artist will then work from.”
The artist will paint a person’s dream on an 8 x 10 canvas. Participants will then have the opportunity to purchase their painted dreams for $45.
“The paintings will vary because we have artists who
are more abstract and we have got artists who do a little more representational [work]. So the artwork will be all over the map as well,” McDonald said.
Toward the end of the event, McDonald will then paint all of the dreams, which have been represented in smaller paintings, and create a larger work.
“I am going to combine them into one large mosaic art piece that represents the hopes and dreams of Vancouver Islanders,” she said.
The mosaic piece that McDon-ald creates will eventually go on display at the end of the event between 4 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. The piece will then be relocated to 4 Commercial St., where it will remain on display for four weeks.
McDonald, who will also be a participating artist and life coach during the event, said she is expecting people’s dreams to vary.
“It might be more bucket list items like travelling to a particu-lar location,” McDonald said.
The Art of Life Dream takes place from noon to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday. Life coach sessions cost $2 and paintings can be pur-chasesd for $45.

Coastal access for Canadian oil means an increase
of at least $5 per barrel. By getting full value for
our oil, everyone will benefit. Workers will gain from
the $5.4 billion project. Oil producers will earn more
revenue for their product. And Government will
collect more tax revenue from oil producers to spend
on programs such as health care, education and
other services that benefit all British Columbians.
Plus, we can invest in new training programs and
create new jobs for our youth.
“By accessing world markets for Canadian oil, we’ll enjoy increased tax dollars and years of employment.”
- Deborah Cahill, President, Electrical Contractors Association of B.C.

Driving through spectacular Spanish scenery shows the capability the Touareg SUV
Ford is entering a brave new world with its extensive use of aluminum in its brand new F150.It remains to be seen how many of its competitors will leap on the aluminum bandwagon but one thing for sure is this move will shake up the light-duty truck world.
Looks:The all-new trucks features smooth body lines with oversized fender flares, while sleek headlights form part of the large oversized grille, with a blended in-front bumper. These features truly stand out when you see this new F150 driving down the road and clearly differentiate it from its rivals. It’s very similar to the Atlas concept vehicle that was first shown a couple years ago, though it has been toned down a little in this latest version of the best-selling pickup in Canada.The all-new body features military grade, aluminum alloy sitting on a high-strength steel frame. The intent here is to create less overall weight without sacrificing strength. However, it’s a bold move that may come back to haunt Ford. Real world driving of this vehicle will produce all kinds of scenarios. What happens when you need to fix the body panels, does the cost escalate to the point it is easier to write it off rather than repair? How will it hold up against constant towing or off-road use? Time will tell but you have to figure Ford has done some homework before unleash-ing the beast.
In The Cab:It’s a spacious cab with a little more door width than the last version. You’ve got to like the 10-position adjustable driver’s seat, which is heated and ventilat-
ed. You won’t want to get out once you have arrived at the work site!The Supercab and Supercrew models offer a fully flat floor providing ample cargo space. The beltline of the doors has been lowered a little and the front pillars are moved forward giving exceptional visibility. An available 8-inch LCD productivity screen on the instru-ment cluster can be set up to provide information tailored to your needs. Fuel consumption, towing and off-road applications offer precise information while driving. There is an optional 400-watt power inverter to power your 110v items and, surely, that will become one hot option because of today’s workplace
demands. Overall, I was impressed with the cab: very comfortable, good visibility and easy access to all the dash functions. The panoramic roof option gives the truck a different feeling driving down the road. When the sun is shining the natural light warms the cab, it almost gives you the feeling you’re driving a convertible. I said almost.Safety first:Standard are front airbags with front driver and pas-senger seat mounted side airbags, safety canopy side curtain airbags.Roadworthy:My tester for the week was a SuperCrew short box ver-sion – although that sounds like an average size truck, it is not. The length of this vehicle is 6190 mm and parking in a small lot can be challenging. Backing in is your safest bet and with the use of the backup camera you are sure to get every inch of space available. Steering is incredibly responsive and the ride is firm yet comfortable. Immediate power when you need it and
plenty available to get this truck up to highway speed. I quite enjoyed the drive and although my day was filled with errands, I still managed to relax as a drove throughout the city, only to have my bubble burst as I ran into never ending construction.
Verdict:I found the new F150 to be slight improvement over the previous version with most of the improvements coming from the interior. The new body design is more of a personal preference and I think it will take me a while longer to come around. Give it a year and I’ll let you know if it was a hit or a miss.
Power:Four engine choices here: 2.7L EcoBoost V6 with 325 horsepower and 375 lb-ft of torque, 3.5L EcoBoost V6 with 365 horsepower and 420 lb-ft torque, 3.5L Ti-VCT V6 with 282 horsepower and 253 lb-ft of torque and a 5.0L Ti-VCT V8 with 385 horsepower and 387 lb-ft.

Car show uniquely Indianby Nigel Matthews
India’s finest exhibition of vintage automobiles and motorcycles is the Cartier Travel with Style Concours d’Elegance. This year it took place at the historical Jaipur Polo Club in New Delhi, located within the racecourse. Cartier has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with India and in particular the Maharajas dating back to 1911. They would entrust Cartier to design and set their precious stones into magnificent pieces of jewelry. The Cartier Concours,
which began in 2008, has generated great excitement amongst Indian collec-tors. More owners are now taking an interest in maintaining and restor-ing their cars to the high standards required for such an international event. India has a rich motoring heritage dating back to 1897, when a resident of Calcutta imported the first car into India which was a De Dion-Bouton.The Cartier Concours is a comparatively young event, which focuses on India’s automotive heritage.Read more at www.drive-waybc.ca.

Sports car holds secretsby Rob Sass
The Z06 Corvette option has typically had a single purpose: To humble would-be Corvette competitors for-eign and domestic, offering supercar performance and handling at a price point that can’t be achieved by any other manufacturer.Here are a few fun facts about the Corvette Z06:The first Z06 was built in 1963. The second-genera-tion – or C2 – Corvette was the first to offer the Z06 package. Corvette godfa-ther Zora Arkus-Duntov conceived the option package that mated Chevy’s fuel injected 327 V-8 with uprated brakes and suspen-sion (and in most cases a larger, competition-ready fuel tank) to give privateer racers a leg up in competi-tion during a time when GM couldn’t field a factory race
team. Simply called an RPO (regular production order) Z06, it was pricey and con-sequently selected mostly by owners who intended to take their Corvettes racing. Today 1963 “big tank” Z06s are among the most collect-ible Corvettes.The option was dormant for 28 years. There was no C3 or C4 Z06, and the name finally returned for 2001 in a very special C5. Offered only in the most rigid and lightest-weight hardtop body style, the 2001 model
came with an LS6 small block rated at 385 hp. It was quickly uprated to 405 hp for the 2002 model year – as if the official ratings mattered. In a fine Corvette tradition going back to the 1967 L88, it was found that Chevy had underrated the horsepower significantly; north of 425 hp was closer to the truth.Since 2001, only model years 2005 and 2014 have been without a Z06.To read more, please visit www.drivewaybc.ca.

BOUQUET To Nanaimo Public Works for its continuous efforts to clean up my neighbourhood at the north end of Jingle Pot Road. The barriers and garbage removal have had an incredible impact.
BEEF To the dad or granddad for his unnecessary, rude comment at the free cake event for Mother’s Day at Thrifty Foods Port Place. Keep your pouting at home.
BOUQUET To the kind and caring pilot and staff for getting a wheelchair and calling a taxi to go to St. Paul’s Hospital. We will always be grateful.
BEEF To the clean-up and garden service landscaper who was speeding through a school zone, illegally passing cars in the median who were doing the limit and then swearing and threatening violence when I called to complain. Clean up your act.
BOUQUET To Brad and staff at Midas at Brechin Road who went out of their way to get our car battery replaced quickly when an unexpected call for work came.
BEEF To the person beefing that people should be made to sit down on the bus if seats are available. I’m in agreement with those standing. Who knows what the last person sitting there left on the seat?
BOUQUET To Reba at HairMates Barber Shop. I needed a haircut and Reba used her skill and attention to detail to give me one of the best haircuts I have had in my years in Nanaimo.
BEEF To real estate agents who advertise homes with unauthorized suites. You should not accept listings for illegal properties. You don’t see car dealers listing stolen cars.
BOUQUET To Frankie’s Modern Diner for honouring moms on Mother’s Day. All moms were treated to a fabulous cheesecake dessert, courtesy of Frankie.
BEEF To those ignorant smokers who keep flicking their butts out the window.
BOUQUET To Rylan of McGirr Elementary School for once again donating his birthday money to Justin’s Coin Drive. We are so very grateful for your thoughtfulness and generosity.
BEEF To the people who enjoyed a picnic of a melon fruit pack and ginger ale and root beer on Mother’s Day at Neck Point Park. This is 2015 and you still leave your garbage on the beach.
BOUQUET To the organizers of Heritage Days. I felt so proud of our city as so many people came together to lose that horrible ‘empire’ moniker and celebrate our true diversity. I could finally enjoy it with a clear conscience.
BEEF To the thieves who are stealing the green bins. The residents of Nanaimo are on to your little scheme. You will get busted.
BOUQUET To big box stores for hiring young people – they need experience. We all start out not knowing everything. Thanks to the patient customers.
BEEF To the city for the $400,000 over-priced job to dismantle the former CP ferry dock. I guess they have not heard about lumberjacks with chainsaws.
BOUQUET To all my friends and fans who attended my 92nd annual birthday at the MGM Restaurant earlier this month.
BEEF To the Vancouver Island Conference Centre. The too over-taxed taxpayers of Nanaimo are fed up with continually paying $900,000 just to keep your leaky boat afloat.
BOUQUET To Thrifty Foods Port Place and the girls running the free cake table for Mother’s Day.
BEEF To the woman who made not one but two snarky comments to a pub patron who almost bumped into her. Sorry that it put such a damper on your day.
BOUQUET To Dufferin Place. They treated me so well for a respite time from my busy family. The people, the garden, the meals, the kindness.
BEEF To Mr. Lexus. You backed into our van at Art Knapp. Shame on you for not having the class to leave a note. Our van may not look like much but it is all we can afford on a military pension.
BOUQUET We had a great time at the Heritage Days parade. We thought the organizers did an awesome job.
BEEF To my neighbours who set off fireworks every weekend and sometimes in the middle of the week. It terrifies our pets, startles the heck out of our family and none of your neighbours understand how you can get an endless thrill out of this.
BOUQUET Thank you to the city for finally doing something about a sidewalk curb that was making it hard to go up with a wheelchair.
BOUQUET To the terrific bakery staff at Country Grocer Chase River. Thank you for coming to my rescue at short notice when a special bread order was not fulfilled by another store.
BOUQUET To Linda at Country Grocer. She’s always going that extra mile to keep customers satisfied. I needed coffee creamers for my workplace and found my debit card not working. Without hesitation she lent me $20. Always a pleasure to see her at work.
BOUQUET To the wonderful pharmacy staff at Save-On-Foods Country Club for calling 911 and helping at the scene of an accident outside their drive-thru window.
BOUQUET To customers who take the time to write a nice comment card. So often we only hear the negative. Please remember the longtime workers also – a nice comment card makes our day, sometimes our whole year.
BOUQUET To the coaches of the Nanaimo White Rapids Swim Club. Your enthusiasm is contagious and you create such a fun and positive environment around the pool.
BOUQUET To all Nanaimo paramedics – a big huge one to the Critical Care Unit – you all rock. But I am going to start charging you for cutting off my clothes.
BOUQUET To all those people who stepped up to help celebrate the long weekend.
BOUQUET To the people who helped to rescue me when I tipped my kayak. To my husband, who kept my head above water and rescued my camera; to the people on the power boat who rushed over and flipped me; to my fellow kayakers who rafted with us until we were stable; to the waitress at Miller’s Pub who got me a warm coffee.

Take charge of your dental health
At The Vancouver Island Implant Centre we are dedicated to provide predictable and complete Implant Services.
We can answer all of your dental implant needs, both in placing the dental implants as well as the teeth on top. We recognize that you want functional teeth and an aesthetic smile. We begin the process by evaluating your needs and desires.
Our difference in treatment delivery is evident from when you first come to the office. We take extra time for post operative appointments and care. Some centers do not see their patient until a week after after surgery. We see you the next day and a few times after. This reduces the incidence of post operative complications and pain.
Feel free to call us for a consultation and we will explain everything before we do anything. We can also work with your dentist or denturist if you wish.
Dr. Wolanski uses a surgical microscope which provides him greater accuracy in implant placement.
“There is no question that greater magnification allows my work to be done at a higher level.” Dr. Wolanski

HUNTER Laurence Peter
May 25, 1926 – May 9, 2015With sadness the family of Laurence, known as Larry to his family and friends, share the news of his passing. He leaves behind to mourn, his wife of almost 63 years, Jo; sons, Mark (Kim) of Calgary and Bruce (Tracey) of Nanaimo; daughter, Leah also of Nanaimo; grandchildren, Michael, Cora, Sarah, Joel and Ali; nieces, Lynn Luke of Parksville and Barbara Lindsay of Vancouver. Larry was predeceased by his brothers Bob & Allan and parents Margaret and Robert Hunter.
Larry taught English, history, and geography at Ladner High School and Alberni Valley High School. He was loved by his students and he loved and respected them in return. Larry and Jo spent a year and a half in Kenya as volunteers for CHES (Canadian Harambee Education Society) where they worked distributing scholarships for needy students going from high school to further education.
Larry was a terrific animal lover. He was predeceased by his beloved Rover, his Siamese twin cats, Mai Tai and Chi Chi who shared his home for 21 years, and Lady Patterson, his shih tzu dog.
Larry was an avid classical music enthusiast, an expert bridge player, a prolific reader, and a true gentleman and family man in every sense of the word. He was the love of Jo’s life and will be missed beyond measure.
There will be a Memorial Gathering in Laurence’s honour at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 30th at Longwood Clubhouse, 5620 Edgewater Lane in Nanaimo.
In lieu of flowers, please consider honouring his memory with a donation to your local SPCA or to the Heart & Stroke Foundation Nanaimo, #401 – 495 Dunsmuir Street, Nanaimo, BC V9R 6B9.

HISTORY OF CRIMESTOPPERSIn July 1976, Greg MacAleese, a police officer investigat-
ing the fatal shooting of Michael Carmen in Albuquerque, New Mexico needed help in solving this senseless mur-der. He created a crime scene reenactment, put up his own reward money and guaranteed anonymity.
This started the program we know today – Crime Stop-pers.
For his efforts, Detective MacAleese was named one of the people who changed the face of the United States in the 1970’s and was also named the country’s Police Officer of the year.
Since adopting Crime Stoppers, New Mexico’s crime rate has dropped significantly.
In 1979, Crime Stoppers became a national program.In 1984, the world-wide anti-crime movement “Crime
Stoppers International” was created and today there are over 1000 programs in 21 countries.

The Nanaimo Timber-men announced their new leader.
The c i ty ’s Western Lacrosse Association club named Cayle Ratcliff as the new team captain.
Kaleb Toth, Timbermen coach, said Ratcliff is “a great leader.”
“Since he’s been here, he’s done whatever we’ve asked of him, whatever role we want him to play, he’s been playing it hard. He leads by example. He’s one of those players that knows what it takes to win, wants to win and demands the best from his teammates.”
Former captain Graham Palmer retired this off-sea-son.
Ratcliff is entering his sev-enth WLA season, all with the T-men, and the season opener Friday (May 22) in Victoria will be his 100th career game.
The T-men are looking forward to starting the season against their Island rivals, Toth said.
“Just playing the Sham-rocks should motivate you enough – guys should be prepared to play,” said the coach.
He said this year’s Tim-bermen are “a better team than we have [had] in the past,” with a well-rounded lineup.
“If we can work hard and do the little things and do what our systems entail … we should be able to make a really interesting game out of it,” Toth said.
GAME ON … The T-men play their home opener against the Shamrocks on Sunday (May 24) at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena.
Timbermen name a new team captain
V.I. Raiders get strong start at camp
BY GREG SAKAKIThe News BulleTiN
The V.I. Raiders got their first chance this year to work together as a team.
Nanaimo’s junior foot-ball team held its spring camp Friday through Sunday at Merle Logan Field, putting 85 players through four practices and an intrasquad game.
It was the first Raiders camp led by new coach Jerome Erdman.
“The attitude has been awesome, everyone is working hard, everyone is really upbeat, helping each other out,” Erdman said. “It’s a real sense of family and at the same time, a great competi-tion, so I’m loving what I’m seeing.”
Those are important components of the team-building aspect of spring camp, the coach said.
“Our vets have done an outstanding job of welcoming the new players, making them feel part of a family,” he said. “And they learn to respect each other through competition. They’re going at it, ham-mer and nail, and then they pick each other up and that’s how it’s got to be.”
In addition to the Raid-ers coaches, the club had plenty of help from guest coaches including retired B.C. Lions cen-
tre Angus Reid.“What I’ve been so
impressed with is their willingness and eager-ness to learn,” Reid said. “They try to do what you say and then when you see it work, you see the confidence just jump out of them and now they want to learn more.”
Working with Raid-ers offensive linemen, Reid saw “super hard workers” committed to getting better. Erdman said the O-line unit was
a strength area at camp, and the new coach said the defensive backs were another standout group.
“If you’ve got DBs that are good and that can cover, then you can be more aggressive with what you do as far as blitzing and all that sort of stuff, and that excites me because I like doing that anyway,” Erdman said.
He consulted with his assistants and with his guest coaches through-
out the camp and for-mulated a lot of opin-ions on personnel at all positions.
“We’ve got a pretty good handle on the tal-ent that we have,” he said.
Not every player who was at spring camp this past weekend will choose Nanaimo. Junior football’s June 1 signing day has become a bigger deal in recent years as players try to pick the right program.
“That’s our goal, to
show them what Raider football’s going to be like,” Erdman said. “We’re going to be high-intensity, we’re going to be working our butts off and we’re going to demand a lot of them. We’ve got to be who we are, and if they want to be a part of something like that, then they’ll come here.”

Pirates seeking swagger
T h e N a n a i m o Pirates came up with a big win over the Langley Blaze.
The Hub City Paving Pirates split a double-header against their rivals on Sunday at Serauxmen Stadium, losing the early game 3-2 in extra innings and then winning the rematch 12-7.
“Overall we played not our best today…” said Josh Carless-Jones, Pirates out-fielder. “Our sticks were really working today but we just didn’t seem to close it out today and that’s something we need to work on.”
Pirates manager Doug Rogers said his team didn’t show enough killer instinct versus the Blaze.
“The guys haven’t been in this situation before – not being the underdog, being the better team than most teams that come in here,” Rogers said.
“They’ve got to get used to that. They’ve got to have that swag-ger.”
In the win, Carless-Jones led the way, going 3-for-4 at the plate with three RBIs and hitting a home run over the green monster in right field. Cole Warken was 2-for-3 with two RBIs
and Shane Rogers was 3-for-3 with two doubles.
GAME ON … The Pirates travel to play the Victoria Mariners on Saturday before returning home Sun-day to face the Victo-ria Eagles at noon and 2:30 p.m. at Seraux-men Stadium.
IBALL CLUB plays at home on Sunday.

Congratulations this week to all Bas-tion Running Club members who com-peted in this year’s Frontrunners Island Race Series.
The eight road races in the series are of varying dis-tances and are held at different locations on the Island. Some weeks ago we cov-ered results from the first four races, so let’s now check Bas-tion results from the second half…
The fifth race of the Island Series was the Bazan Bay 5K in Sidney, where about a dozen local runners were part of the field of 618 participants. Fastest of the Bas-tion crew was Erin Burrett, whose time of 16 minutes and 47 seconds rated her second in the F30-34 division. Then came Neil Gaudet in 63rd place overall with a finish in 18:16.
Yanna Debelic reached in the finish line in 19:57, Jane Campbell in 20:07, Kevin Stedmon in 21:53 and Zlatko Zve-
kic in 23:05. Other local finishers were Bill Hollingshead in 23:40, John Durkin in 23:28, Denise Bonin in 24:37, Arjan Gelling in 24:49 and Daniel Ross in 25:21.
The longest event in the Island Series is always the Comox Valley Half Marathon. Of the 459 finishers this year, more than 20 were Bastion Club repre-sentatives. Jeremy Clegg was the fastest local. His fine time of 1:12:27 gave him second overall and first in the M35-39 group-ing. Edwin Johnston was 28th in 1:25:01, Gaudet 43rd in 1:27:25, Stefan Jako-bsen 49th in 1:28:38 and Norm Thibault 70th in 1:32:14. Also in the top 100 was the first Nanaimo woman to the finish line. Debelic placed first in the F45-49 division thanks to a
time of 1:34:29.Next competition
in the series was the Merville 15K, held near Campbell River. Some 275 runners took part in total, with David Depasquale the fast-est of the 13 Bastion representatives. Depasquale posted a time of 57:45, good
for eighth overall. Gaudet’s time of 1:01:24 earned him 26th place and Quentin Proud was 35th overall in 1:03:06. Again
Debelic was the first Bastion female run-ner to finish, winning the F45-49 division with her time of 1:05:36.
Other locals in the top 100 for the 15K distance were Norm Olsen in 1:06:42, Katy Wallington in 1:10:43, Zvekic in 1:13:22, Durkin in 1:14:43 and Hollingshead in 1:14:45.
The final race in this year’s Island Series was the Sooke River 10K, with a field of 303 runners. A small contingent of Bastion athletes took part, led to the finish line by Gaudet who was 29th overall with a time of 40:55. Debelic finished in 41:49 to place first in the F45-49 group.
Stedmon posted a time of 48:09 and Zve-kic finished in 48:47. Other Bastion results saw Durkin cross the finish line in 49:31. Hollingshead finished in 50:10 to place first in the M70-74 division and Bonin finished with a time of 53:05.
Based on points accumulated from all races in the series, Debelic was the top female Bastion run-ner and Gaudet the top male. In team points, the Bastion Club did well to fin-ish fourth.
Whatever your sport, a reminder in closing to play your hardest, play fair, and show good sports-manship.
