TTeen among TTop 20 young Canadians

BY JENN McGARRIGLE THE NEWS BULLETIN

passion for getting involved and encouraging others to do so as well has earned a Nanaimo student a national award. Mingye Chen, 17, is one of Youth in Motion’s Top 20 Under 20 award winners this year. The award recognizes young Canadians who demonstrate a significant level of innovation, leadership and achievement and includes $5,000 toward her post-secondary education and a trip to Toronto to meet the other winners. “When I heard I received it, I was just freaking out,” she said. “The other 19 recipients just blow me out of the water. I have impostor syndrome. I’d like to think they’re recognizing not what I have done, but CHEN what I’ll do in the future.” Chen’s long history of community involvement started several years ago when she started helping out in the bookstore at Literacy Central Vancouver Island. In the summer of her Grades 9, 10 and 11 years, she volunteered at the Pacific Biological Station, helping to prep test tubes for sample collection amongst other things. “It was a great opportunity to work with top-notch scientists,” said Chen. When she was 15, Chen decided to move to Vancouver on her own to attend Britannia Secondary School’s International Baccalaureate program – a high-quality international education program – for her senior years. ◆ See ‘STUDENT’ /7

The repair job on a water line break in the basement of Nanaimo Regional General Hospital last month requires fixing. The break occurred June 23 under the concrete slab in the basement, affecting three offices, a mechanical room and the medical device reprocessing department, which cleans and sterilizes surgical instruments. Workers had to cut up the floor, as the pipe was plugged with gravel due to the rupture, and while new concrete was poured the next day, health officials discovered the floor is now uneven and will need to be redone, said Anya Nimmon, Vancouver Island Health Authority spokeswoman. “I don’t know the details as to why that happened,” she said. Unfor tunately, the floor affected is in the medical device reprocessing department, where it is essential the floor is seamless so that there are no opportunities for moisture to enter. This means redoing the entire floor, not just where the hole was made. “The department has to be completely clean – no cracks,” said Nimmon. The department has two areas: the decontamination room where surgical equipment is cleaned, which has the uneven floor, and the sterilization room. ◆ See ‘LEVEL’ /4

Bob Buchanan, Nanaimo Dragon Boat Society president, front, paints colour onto the eye of a dragon as priests from the Evergreen Taoist Church of Canada bless boats at Friday’s opening ceremonies for the Save-on-Foods Dragon Boat Festival. The dotting of the eyes symbolically awakens the spirit of the dragons.

accomplishment. I’m sure their bodies are hurting today.” The number of teams was down a little from past years, but Shorting suggested that has to do with the economy and travel costs, saying every festival is seeing a similar decline. Over the next couple of weeks organizers will add up the funds that were raised for the Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation. “Whether we’re down a little bit or not much at all, at the end of the day we’re going to write a cheque out to the hospital society and everyone’s a winner here,” Shorting said. Nanaimo’s waterfront was as popular a venue as ever, he said, as lots of first-time festivalgoers helped make for the largest-ever openingceremonies crowd. Another highlight of the weekend was an Elvis impersonator on Sunday morning who led a gospel church service. Out on the water, Victoria’s Gorging Dragons won the main event, the mixed platinum A final, with a time of one minute, 54.94 seconds. The Puppy Love team won the mixed platinum B final, Chix With Stix won the women’s platinum A and the Saggin’ Dragons won the women’s platinum B. The Abreast with Fort-itude team placed first in the breast cancer survivors’ A final, and the Abreast Deas Divas and Angels Abreast won the breast cancer survivors’ B and C finals, respectively. Other teams to win their divisions were the Bastion Dragons, Na Max Sala, Pussy Cats, Seventh Wave, Gorge Us Gals, Sea Gals, Raise a Little Swell, Cowichan Valley Jolly Dragons, Abreast in Richmond, Black Sheep, Fraser Dragons, Fort Langley Canoe Club Fort Fusion and the Mackenzie Mussels.

It was flat calm, there was no chop and it was perfect racing weather.” The conditions made for some high-speed sprints in the harbour. “It’s a great feat to go out and whether you come fourth place or first place, just to be out there, they’re contributing to a great cause,” Shorting said the day after the festival. “They’re all leaving here feeling a great

Toby Orrick had high hopes of working in the logging industry for his entire career. But an extreme case of tendonitis in both hands sidelined his plans and forced a career change. Orrick, 40, is back in the classroom upgrading his education at Vancouver Island University. He recently won a Career and Academic Preparation faculty award for high academic achievement in VIU’s Adult Basic Education program. “This is a big achievement because I haven’t been in school in 22 years,” said Orrick. “It was scary to return to the classroom but I had no choice. I was told I can never go back to logging.” Orrick is amazed that he’s earning high marks in math and science. “I never performed this well in high school,” he said. “Obviously I’m more motivated and more mature. This gives me hope that I can successfully switch to a new career.” Orrick plans to continue upgrading and eventually pursue a science degree in petroleum engineering. He says the support of ABE instructors is a key factor in his success. “They are a phenomenal group who are totally dedicated to helping students succeed,” he said. Orrick is also grateful for funding support from WorkSafeB.C. which made it possible for him to return to school. “It’s an investment that will pay off. I will soon have the education I need to launch a new career.” Orrick’s advice to others thinking about going back to school? “Just do it and believe in yourself. Even if it’s hard at first, just know that each day gets easier. This has been such a positive experience for me. I’d recommend ABE to anyone.” ABE student Tammy Aikman also received special recognition for outstanding academic achievement. Aikman, a single mom of two teenage boys, received the Coastal Community Credit Union award. She is upgrading her education to apply to VIU’s Resource Management Officer Technology program. “It takes courage to do what she’s doing,” said Aikman’s 19-year-old son Andrew. Thousands of dollars in scholarships were awarded to ABE students at a year-end celebration at the Nanaimo campus recently. ABE courses are offered at the Nanaimo, Cowichan and Powell River campuses, and at the Parksville-Qualicum Centre. Courses in Nanaimo start three times a year in September, January and April.

◆ From /1 Nimmon said for now, surgical instruments are taken to West Coast General Hospital or Cowichan District Hospital to be decontaminated, then returned to NRGH for sterilization. The impact on the surgical program at NRGH is expected to be minimal, as only five of the eight surgical rooms operate during the summer. “Fortunately, it is summer and there isn’t the volume of surgery that we normally have,” said Nimmon. The health authority began dismantling the equipment Thursday so the floor can be redone and it is expected to take six to eight weeks, she said. On top of the concrete floor repouring, workers will also repair walls in adjacent offices that were damaged by water, Nimmon added. Health officials do not know the final cost, but repairs will be covered by insurance. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

University students’ union offering competitive wages POSITIONS PAID in accordance with contract and ‘considerable responsibility’ attached to jobs.

BY TOBY GORMAN THE NEWS BULLETIN

Student unions at post-secondary institutions have come a long way over the past few years, which might be why a Vancouver Island University student union position is able to pay $27 an hour plus benefits for the position of resource coordinator for campus life. Steve Beasley, executive director of the VIU students’ union, who posted the ad last week, said just because it’s a student union job doesn’t mean there aren’t considerable responsibilities. “We’re a $2.5-million organization and I don’t think people realize that,” said Beasley, who has negotiated labour contracts for other universities. “We operate a full-service pub, we operate a system of health and dental benefits BEASLEY for all the students at VIU, which alone is almost $1 million, and we sell $500,000 worth of transit ever year. We’re a pretty hefty organization.” It also sells about $250,000 worth of books annually, of which a commission is charged by the student union to help pay for staffing. VIU’s student union employs about 20 people earning a total of about $500,000 annually, on par with other B.C. universities and university-colleges. Beasley compares that with VIU’s annual $120-million budget, of which 80 per cent goes to staff wages and benefits. “The students of VIU deserve as qualified a person as one that would work for the university doing the very same job,” he said. “Overall, the people here in the student union make less money than the university folks doing the same job.” To advocate on behalf of the students,

Beasley added that strong qualifications are needed by student union employees to bargain with university counterparts. “We’re not going to hire a freshman at $10 an hour to advocate for a fourth-year student who is challenging a grade or something,” said Beasley. “We also have a qualified accountant to manage the $2.5 million budget, our health and dental plan requires a professional, and we need appropriately qualified people to sit down with a faculty dean or vice-president to advocate on students’ behalf.” A key philosophy of the VIU student union is to pay students a living wage. Beasley, who has strongly advocated for improved financial situations, said the Canadian Union of Public Employees student union would be hypocritical if it called for decent wages but didn’t pay them itself. “Some employees are students, and they start around $11 an hour, but nowhere is it written that students should work for a wage below the poverty line. We as an organization advocate for people to make a living wage,” he said. The resource coordinator position requires post-secondary education and extensive knowledge of how student unions operate, as well as a strong background in event organizing. The unionized post is full-time temporary from Aug. 1 to Jan. 31.

Province ranks second for job gains British Columbia job growth remains steady as the province gained 3,600 new jobs last month and the unemployment rate dropped to 6.6 per cent. B.C. gained 2,400 full-time positions and added 1,100 part-time jobs, a provincial press release indicates. B.C. ranks second in terms of job gains since June 2011 when compared to other provinces. B.C. has added 53,000 jobs since June 2011, behind only Alberta, which has added 55,400 jobs. Manufacturing continues to experience steady growth with last month showing strong gains of 10,600 jobs. Other areas of job growth include health care and social assistance (+6,200), business, building and other support services (+4,600), and educational services (+4,100).

B.C.’s unemployment rate of 6.6 per cent is below the national average (7.2 per cent) and is lower than where it was last year, which was 7.2 per cent. As youth employment increased, the unemployment rate for the 15-24 age category declined by 2.3 percentage points from May. Since September 2011, B.C has gained 23,400 jobs. Full-time positions increased by 26,900, more than offsetting the decline in part-time positions of 3,500. And since February of last year, 61,300 jobs have been added – B.C. gained over 69,200 full-time positions, offset by a loss of 7,900 part-time positions. Overall, B.C.’s labour force remains steady and now stands at 2,485,800. Compared with one year ago, B.C.’s labour force has increased by 39,000 people.

Student shows natural leadership S ◆ From /1 Once there, Chen got involved in the Britannia Garden Club, a student group that helps maintain a small garden near the school’s basketball courts and worked with the community to build a 100-square-metre garden on another part of the school’s grounds the last two school years. By February 2011, Chen was leading the club and had built up its membership by encouraging her peers to get involved. She was also the driving force behind a new composting program for her school. Club members planted trees, ran workshops on composting, emptied the compost bins they placed around the school, and helped care for and harvest the vegetables planted in the gardens. Chen enjoyed working with her hands in the garden, growing and then harvesting the food, which was used in her school’s cafeteria for a meals program for lowincome students. She said community members could access the meals program as well – the Britannia campus includes an elementary school, secondary school, learning alternatives program and community centre – and one of the benefits of the gardens project is easing the costs to the school of providing the meals program. An even bigger benefit is the

educational component. “It teaches the youth in our area about sustainability, where food comes from,” said Chen. “I like to address the needs of my area before looking at international issues. I like to see the tangible results and the benefit for the community.” Chen heads to McGill University in Montreal in September to study arts and sciences. She doesn’t know what she wants to do for a career yet, but hopes to narrow it down once in university. “No matter what I do, I hope I will have some sort of impact on my community in general,” said Chen. “I hope to continue my work in a leadership position, but at the same time, it’s not so important that I am the leader, but that I am involved.” Ian Marcuse, coordinator of the Grandview Woodland Food Connection, the neighbourhood association that Chen’s club worked with on the larger garden project, wrote in a reference letter that Chen was able to motivate her peers to get involved in the garden by ensuring everyone has tasks and are participants in all projects. “She has a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and confidence that is so very important as a leader but also embodies a positive attitude towards her peers,” he wrote.

According to reports from the boats’ owners and other boaters moored in neighbouring ber ths, police believe the craft were broken into between 11 p.m. Wednesday and 3 a.m. Thursday. The boats were not damaged because the culprit or culprits entered through unlocked doors and hatch covers. Owners told police they believed the boats were secure because the dock gate, the only access point from land, was locked. Items stolen included food, alcohol, DVDs, cell phones and a television.

EDITORIAL

Labour pains not over yet y The provincial government is holding its breath these days, having settled contracts with most public sector unions and stayed the course on net zero. But how long can it keep up this magician’s act? At some point, organized labour, led perhaps by a tag-team of the B.C. Government and Service Employees Union and B.C. nurses, will stage a mass revolt against the no-raise, cupboard-isbare philosophy. Some months ago, the province gave public sector employers such as postsecondary institutions the opportunity to receive modest wage increases, if the employer was able to find equivalent savings somewhere else in its operation. But increases in government grants to such bodies in recent years – they’re still playing catch-up from previously slashed funding – have done little more than match increases in operating expenses. One of the province’s largest unions, the B.C. Government and Services Employees Union, even sought ways to save the government money to cover off modest wage increases for its members. But that doesn’t mean it’s in a conciliatory mood. The BCGEU’s one-day strike last week at a few Liquor Distribution Branches, held to protest any future privatization of that service, was a minor flexing of its muscle. More telling may have been the union’s stepping away from mediation at the bargaining table with the province last week, stating that no progress had been made in negotiations. They could be the wolf at the door for the lame-duck Liberals. Despite avoiding a full strike for 20 years, the BCGEU still wields clout, as no one wants government services to shut down. While unions must be reasonable in their wage demands at this time, government needs to begin to offer some modest incentives for the people who work for them. Even if it’s a simple token of its esteem. The Nanaimo News Bulletin is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry. The council considers complaints from the public about the conduct of member newspapers. Directors oversee the mediation of complaints, with input from both the newspaper and the complaint holder.

the helmet around with me, I just lock it to the bike. The bike helmet law also reminds people that biking can be dangerous. Accidents do happen and you don’t have to be going fast to hurt yourself badly – I can personally attest to that. Falling off a bike and hitting pavement hurts a lot and besides the bloody scrapes, that fun and carefree trip to the grocery store can turn tragic if you happen to fall and hit your head or get hit by a car. I have more than one friend whose noggin has been saved by a helmet – one friend kept his cracked helmet to show others what would have happened to his skull had he not been wearing one. A brain injury is definitely life changing, and not in a good way. And it costs society thousands of dollars to rehabilitate a braininjured person. So, should the rest of us have to pay when someone decides a helmet is too dorky? I don’t think so. I’ve noticed a lot of cyclists in Nanaimo already don’t bother with helmets despite the law, but having it in place gets more people wearing helmets than before – faced with the prospect of a fine, more people will choose to put a helmet on. Putting on your helmet before your ride should be a no-brainer, so to speak – like putting on your seatbelt before you drive somewhere. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

B.C. education system needs to be rebuilt To the Editor, When you run for public office as a school trustee, you run to make things better for students or you run to help your political friends. Your job is to do your creative best with what you have. That means you have to support initiatives that will best meet the students’ needs. That means doing things differently. Special needs students are often the centre of the debate, being identified as the cause for teacher stress. Yet we do not address the fact that ‘inclusionary’ model is extremely expensive but not working very well. Special needs students need special needs schools staffed by teachers and aids trained to meet special needs. Isn’t it time to reconstruct the education system in B.C.? Let’s start with a new calendar – like in Britain, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, basically six weeks in session, two-week breaks. Then, let’s develop new curricula that reflect the needs of this century, one that gives the trades equal importance with the university track. The kids cannot wait for education to keep up with them and train them for their future. I was proud to be a trustee from 2002 to 2011 and I know four in Cowichan who understand the true role of trusteeship and who stood up for the students and taxpayers.

Several assumptions in park survey

To the Editor, Re: Survey seeks visitors’ thoughts about Maffeo Sutton Park, July 5. Let me be among the first to laud our parks and recreation department and the lands and assets that it manages on our behalf, but I took the survey, and I just couldn’t stomach the Kool-Aid. There are a couple of hidden assumptions buried in the survey that really need to be brought to the surface before there can be any reasonable discussion. One is that the park needs more improvements despite the fact that the ‘improvements’ recently completed weren’t, at least in the minds of many, improvements, nor have they been in place long enough to really determine what else might

need to be done. It may, in fact, really be a dangling financial matter in which the Phase 2 funds, which have been held over, are burning up in the pocket of the

budget. The other is the hidden suggestion that improvements are effectively free. There is an extensive list of possible improvements for check-

off in the survey and none of them show any cost at all. This is the Kool-Aid that governments all too often serve: 1) things need their services to

get improved, and, 2) the costs of these services are ignored. It’s a bit like a rich uncle taking kids to the candy store and asking them to pick whatever they would like. What the kids don’t realize until it is too late is that it is not the rich uncle who will be picking up the bill, but rather the kids themselves. If we are going to do more improvements to Maffeo Sutton Park, then let’s start by asking whether it needs more improvement at this time, not what improvements it needs. If we decide it really does need more improvements, we need to see the estimated costs of those improvements and whether we can afford them. Ron Bolin Nanaimo

Economic focus adds to lack of respect for nature To the Editor, Re: Writer’s point indecipherable, Letters, July 5. Regarding the dialogue between Jim Corder and David Dunaway in the News Bulletin’s Letters, I found David Dunaway’s letter completely comprehensible and apropos to our times. There seem to be opposing world views, one being capitalism, which tends to promote greed. To profit economically is to gain, taking more than one needs; hence the imbalance in our environment and society. Not everyone is blessed with the abilities to exploit in a capitalistic world, and that is why the other way of viewing the world, socialism, is seen as a way to redistribute wealth and care for others. Dunaway states that if an economy produced “true wealth”, our society would not be so wasteful (insufficient landfills) and all people would benefit. Consider the indigenous peoples on this planet, who do

the least damage, taking only what they need, living in harmony with the land. Dunaway’s reference to the economy’s undoing of nature is not bizarre when one sees as bizarre the rampant destruction of our forests, which affects climate change, or the dumping of mining waste into lakes for tailing ponds, or oil spills that affect both wildlife and humans. The economy despoils the wealth when it destroys the life supporting resources that belong to all of us – the environment, the air, the food, the water. It is little wonder there is so much malaise and disease in our society. What is indecipherable is the lack of love and respect for nature that seems to accompany current economic growth.

Letter writers should avoid personal attacks To the Editor, Re: Writer’s point indecipherable, Letters, July 5.

FOR AS LITTLE AS

Jim Corder has so many letters printed over the course of a year, most of which seem to follow the course of insulting anyone who has written a letter he deems to be “leftist” or “socialist” leaning. Indeed, he might as well be a columnist, but then, we already have Tom Fletcher to represent the conservative, right wing side of B.C. life. So why do you give Corder so much free press? If you have to print all his letters, at least eliminate his personal attacks and hold him to civilized discourse. The same can be said for any letter writer, of whatever political stripe.

bicycle and four legs. The city recently spent money and time in developing trails and an off-leash dog park in this forest. They have done a fabulous job. The new off-leash dog area has been most appreciated by dog owners. Seniors particularly enjoy the flatter terrain for walking while enjoying exercise and nature simultaneously. I don’t feel the public is really aware there is an attempt happening to remove the park’s current designation of ‘Parks and Open Spaces’ to ‘Neighbourhood’. This change opens the way for rezoning of the land for higher density development. Would you be happy to see this forest cleared for houses, apartments, condos, etc? If this change does not sit well with you, please become educated and involved on the issue. The website http://savepioneerforest.com is a good place to start. Lynn Kropinak Nanaimo

Underwear Affair a cheeky success

Nanaimoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brynn Logan took to the streets of Vancouver in her underwear Saturday, all in support of the B.C. Cancer Foundation. Logan joined more than 1,000 participants in the seventh annual Underwear Affair, contributing close to $17,000 to the $633,000 raised to fight cancers including prostate, colorectal, ovarian, testicular, bladder, cervical, and uterine. Participants completed the fivekilometre walk or 10-km run clad in outrageous costumes, under-

wear and athletic attire as spectators along the route cheered them on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me, The Underwear Affair is an opportunity to raise funds for research, and break the taboos that comes along with these cancers,â&#x20AC;? said Logan, who finished second in fundraising for the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gives me this incredible feeling of community, supporting a great cause while having a lot of fun.â&#x20AC;?

Band wants crowd grooving the tunes

TORONTO GROUP has three Nanaimo shows in one day. BY CHRIS HAMLYN THE NEWS BULLETIN

If there is one thing the Woodshed Orchestra doesn’t want to see during any performance, it’s people in their seats. “We are a dance band We play dance music from all over the world,” said founder Dave Clark. “We just don’t give up. We’re going to get you up on the dance floor one way or another.” The band formed in Toronto in 2005 and starts the western leg of its Canadian tour Thursday (July 12) in Victoria. Woodshed plays the Roxy Theatre on Gabriola Island Monday (July 16) at 8 p.m. and hits Nanaimo July 19 with a noon hour show for CHLY Radio at the China Steps, an 8 p.m. show at the Front Street Grill and 9:30 p.m. at the Queen’s. The band features nine members and Clark said the whole ethos is to play with love in their hearts. “We do enjoy ourselves,” he said. “It’s a bunch of old friends from different bands who have come together this way.” Growing up in a musical family, Clark was exposed to numerous kinds of music from the Beatles, the Doors and Motown, to the Guess Who, Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitch-

ell and Duke Ellington. He has used those influences in his writing for the band. “I just kept on writing. Whatever popped into my bean from afar I would scrawl it down and we played them,” he said. Woodshed describes themselves as a “bowlful of New Orleans, a dose of Sly Stone, a sprinkle of vintage Rush and a cup of Stevie Wonder”. “When it started out, I had this picture of it being a kind of Philadelphia soul band – and we’ve got that element,” he said. “The old term of musical woodshedding means learning something. We learn things right in front of the audience.” Clark has written 168 songs for the band and on any given night – depending where the gig is – Woodshed can play for three to four hours straight. “It’s pure joy and very free for everybody in the band to sing, play their instruments and be part of the music in anyway they see fit,” said Clark. “If they need to get up and shake it off, dance a bit, get a drink or talk to people, they can get up. There’s plenty of people in the band to cover it. It’s a celebration of friendship.” And the experience has been more than Clark ever imagined. “It’s a dream come true to be in a band of people so joyful and committed to having fun and making people feel good,” he said. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Dance number puts science in spotlight BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN

Scientists aren’t known for their dance skills. It’s their intellect that gets recognition, not usually their ability to boogie down. Most scientists don’t don leotards and leap across a stage to convey the inner mysteries of their scientific work. Yet, that’s exactly what a contest created by Science Magazine has asked them to do with

the Dance Your PhD international competition – leotards optional. The challenge was accepted by David Bigelow, chairman of the mathematics department at Vancouver Island University. “I was really excited about it,” he said. “I realized it could be quite an interesting project. The project is about answering the question ‘what is your thesis about?’” His task was taking his mathematical thesis, Latin squares

and triple systems, and creating a dance video to explain it. He took two years to create the thesis, completing it in 1990 as a PhD student at the University of Waterloo in Ontario. In the simplest terms, Bigelow’s thesis can be boiled down to a comparison with Sudoku. In Sudoku, numbers can only appear once in each row and column.

Choreographed number spices up mathematics ◆ From /22 Numbers can appear multiple times per row and column but have to appear the same amount of times as every other number. It’s complicated further by the inclusion of a two transversal. The transversal means if you take specific numbers and place them outside the original square, it would create a new row and column where each number still appeared twice and a new symbol could be added to replace the one removed. Now picture that as a dance. That’s where the expertise of dancer and choreographer Ivana Ho came into play.

Ho trained at the National Ballet School in Prague. Bigelow and Ho met this spring while working on plays presented by the Nanaimo Theatre Group. “The first challenge was trying to explain what the theory was to Ivana, who has no training in math,” said Bigelow. And for Ho, the challenge was teaching Bigelow to dance. “The dance part I am really happy with. It was so creative,” said Ho. “The choreographed part with David was just amazing. It was a lot of fun.” For the project, Ho enlisted the help of eight other professional dancers to rep-

resent numbers. The video is now in post-production and will be submitted for the contest this fall before it closes on Oct. 1. It’s the fifth year of the Dance Your PhD international competition. Finalists in the four categories – physics, chemistry, biology and social sciences – win $500. The grand prize winner will receive $1,000 and a trip to Belgium to attend the TedxBrussels event, which explores technology, entertainment and design. Once the video is finished, it will be posted on VIU’s website for people to view. reporter3@nanaimobulletin.com

LIBRA A - Sept 23/Oct 23 Once the excitement of an event wears off, Libra, you may be left ﬂoundering for a little while. Don’t wallow in boredom. Get started on a new project.

Libra

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Sometimes much more can be said by remaining quiet that actually speaking, Scorpio. Keep this in mind when you are socializing with new people.

Scorpio

Sagittarius

Capricorn

Aquarius

Pisces

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 It can sometimes feel lonely at the top, Sagittarius. Now that you’ve acquired many of the things you wanted, the resulting feelings may not be what you thought. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Now may be the time to get serious about your efforts to ﬁnd a new job, Capricorn. Start doing the legwork and get your name out to new people as much as you can. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Although you’re a do-it-yourself person by nature, Aquarius, sometimes letting someone get the job done frees you up for more important projects. You also get a needed break. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, you can’t seem to keep your mind on the thing at hand. Your wandering thoughts may put you in tune with a better idea.

Nanaimo U17 girls repeat as provincial soccer champions The Nanaimo Impact soccer team again finished atop the heap in B.C. The U17 rep girls’ squad won a second-straight provincial championship on Sunday after defeating the Port Coquitlam Fury 1-0 in the gold-medal match in Kelowna. The Impact went 2-0-1 in round-robin play leading up to the final, so they finished with an undefeated record this season. The last win was the

best of all, as the girls played a complete game, said co-coach Dale Nicks. “There was no point in the game, really, where we thought that the tides had turned,” he said. “[The Fury] might have had four or five chances – not many. We dominated them. We totally outchanced them.” Emily Shires scored both goals for her team in the first half, and PoCo’s only response was an own goal by Nanaimo

midway through the second half. The Fury couldn’t muster any further comeback, and the Impact got to celebrate. Shires finished the tournament with eight of her team’s 10 goals. Keeper Kayte Higgins got the win in the gold-medal match and tended goal all weekend, finishing with two shutouts. One of her shutouts came in the semifinals, a 0-0 draw with the Bulkley Valley Rap-

ids. That was a bizarre game in that the Rapids needed only a tie to make the medal round, and played for just that outcome. “They had all 11 players in the 18-yard box. It was just like a wall of keepers,” said Nicks. Nicks coached the team with Lanny Cronan. The Impact will move to metro for the 2012-13 season. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Back-to-back games resulted in back-toback losses for the Nanaimo Timbermen. The senior A Coastal Windows Timbermen lost 9-6 to the first-placed Langley Thunder on Saturday at Frank Crane Arena, then fell 11-10 to the lastplaced Maple Ridge Burrards the next night on the mainland. The T-men (5-5-1) felt like Saturday’s loss was a missed opportunity as they went into the third period within two goals of a Thunder team that wasn’t at the top of its game. “They played [Friday] night, they were a little bit sluggish out there and we had a good chance to take it,” said Simon Stocks, Timbermen defender. “We kind of beat ourselves out there … It was just a couple mistakes that really cost us.” Nanaimo was moving the ball around well on offence to start the third period, but couldn’t close the two-goal deficit. Midway through the third period Langley got two goals a few seconds apart and were able to hang on. “Our defence stepped up because our offence wasn’t really clicking,” said Lewis Ratcliff, Thunder forward. “They did a good job of playing hard. We had a game [Friday] night so I think we played a little tired but our defence did a great job.” The T-men outshot the Thunder 54-41, with Matt King suffering the loss in goal. Scott Ranger and Joel Henry had two goals each and Ryan Keith and Cody Bremner had singles. For Langley, Rob Van Beek and Alex Turner scored hat tricks. ◆ See ‘RATCLIFF’ /30

Juniors finish final shift of tough season

BOXLA SQUAD loses last two to Delta Islanders. BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

The junior A Nanaimo Timbermen gave whatever they had left in the tanks to finish the 2012 season. The city’s B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League team (3-17-1) played their last two games of the summer on the weekend, losing both halves of a home-and-home series against the Delta Islanders. The Isles won 14-8 on Saturday in Ladner, then won 21-8 on Sunday at Frank Crane Arena. “I don’t know if it was emotions, I don’t know what it was but it was difficult for the boys, both ends of the floor,” said Jamie Gilles, assistant coach. “We weren’t scoring on offence – we had three goals going into the third – and we weren’t defending real well on defence.” With the game out of reach after two periods, the Timbermen reassessed their goals. They decided that when lacrosse season was all over, they didn’t want to feel as though

they’d left anything out on the floor. “We went out there, we had fun,” said Bryan Dougan, captain of the junior A T-men. “That’s all you can do right now is just enjoy the game. Everybody

loves this game.” Dougan, a defender, played as an attacker in the third period as the Timbermen gave some of their graduating juniors extra chances to go out with a goal. “I don’t think I’ve seen

so many smiles or so much positive energy in our team all season,” Gilles said. “They had a great time, they were loving it.” It was a challenging season for the Timbermen. Following an off-season

Ratcliff wins in return to Frank Crane

ownership change, the team brought in an all-new coaching staff and an overhauled roster. The group went winless the first month of the season, then, before the trade deadline, management traded away most of the team’s top talent. They didn’t win any more games after that, but Gilles said he thinks the team showed improvement and said other teams around the league noticed it. Dougan said if he was starting the season over again, and got to pick a team, he would choose all the same teammates. “I’m happy with all the boys. They stayed together through all the adversity we went through,” he said. “No one quit halfway through the season or anything like that. All the boys stuck together and just kept battling, night in, night out. You can’t ask for more.” LACROSSE TALK … Ryan Nicks and Ken Brown each scored twice in the season finale. The day before, Adam Backular-Evans posted a hat trick … Dougan, Backular-Evans, Stu Mills, Evan Benham and Marino Best now graduate from junior.

◆ From /29 Former T-men star Lewis Ratcliff had a goal and two assists. He said he couldn’t care less whether he had a big game against the Timbermen. “It’s always nice to beat teams that you’ve played on before and it’s more fun to come play in old buildings,” Ratcliff said. “But a win’s a win.” In Sunday’s game against the Burrards, the T-men had a 4-1 first-period lead but faltered late. The home team scored the gamewinning goal with nine seconds to go. King tended goal as Nanaimo outshot Maple Ridge 54-42. Ranger had four goals and two assists and Henry and Blake Kenny had two goals apiece. Cody Bremner and Cayle Ratcliff had Nanaimo’s other goals. GAME ON … The Timbermen visit the Burnaby Lakers (6-5-2) on Friday (July 13).
