Nanaimo is sitting smack in the middle of an area blanketed by an extreme fire danger rating with no relief on the horizon. Nanaimo’s fire danger rating hasn’t changed since early August and with little rain and temperatures expected to jump back up into the mid 20s, there is no relief in the forecast. “It’s going to be cool, but by Wednesday our forecasters are telling us it’s going to rebound to hot and dry, mid to high 20s and no rain in sight,” said Marg Drysdale, Coastal Fire Centre spokeswoman on Monday. The area that will remain under an extreme risk of wildfire outbreaks extends from just south of Courtenay and includes all of the east side of the Island to its southern tip. There have been few humancaused fires this summer around Nanaimo, but people need to continue to be extra cautious. Drysdale said people tend to drop their guard when children go back to school and fall approaches. “Our concern is that people do not understand the danger, simply because they think it’s fall and they don’t understand that we’re still in wildfire season,” Drysdale said. “It’s

not entirely unusual for the Coastal Fire Centre to have a fire season in September, but it is quite unusual that we’re saying ‘extreme’ at this time of year – extreme and ongoing extreme.” Drysdale said there is no sign of any rain or cooler temperatures that could lower the wildfire risk anytime soon. Fire season on B.C.’s south coast tends to be offset from the rest of the province because of local moisture levels and vegetation species, which take a long time to dry out, but remain dry until the coast gets a lot of rain. “We were doing really well up to about three weeks into August, but since the third week in August we’ve had a lot of human-caused fires,” Drysdale said. “Nanaimo has been fairly decent. Surprisingly, there have been no issues there, but throughout the rest of the Coastal Fire Centre we’ve had a real spurt of human-caused fires that we’d really like not to have had.” The only wildfire of note currently burning on the Island is at Wolf River in Strathcona Park near Buttle Lake. It now covers 150 hectares and will be allowed to burn, Drysdale said. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

Inbrief Foraging leads to gourmet food city scene

Convict found near prison

An escaped prisoner is back in custody after he was caught hiding in a farmer’s field near the Nanaimo Correctional Centre. Ronald Sweezey, 53, wandered off from a work detail with a roadside maintenance crew on Biggs Road Friday morning. Sweezey was found by a corrections officer working at Nanaimo Correctional Centre Friday night at about 8:40 p.m. Sweezey was hiding in what police describe as an agricultural area on a property adjacent to the correctional centre. Sweezey was in police custody over the weekend awaiting an appearance before a provincial court judge.

Unusual fire near Barsby A small fire that started at the base of a power pole has piqued the interest of the fire department in Nanaimo. Firefighters responded shortly after 9 a.m. Thursday to snuff out the blaze that started at the base of a utility pole next to a lacrosse box in the 700 block of Howard Avenue near John Barsby Community School. Rick Kwasnecha, Nanaimo Fire Rescue fire prevention officer, said the fire only did minor damage to the pole and the lacrosse box. He said there was evidence people had been smoking in the area and the fire might have sparked from a smoldering cigarette. He noted the time of day for a fire to be intentionally set would have been unusual.

Nanaimo area chefs, conservationists and food groups gather for annual Harvest Festival this weekend BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN

he weeds some people are trying to eradicate on their lawns and in their garden beds could be wild plants they can eat. Stephanie Mills said many plants people view as weeds and try to eliminate, such as chickweed or dandelions, could be used as food. Mills has a degree in biology and is trained in clinical herbal medicine and gives edible wild food tours for the Nanaimo and Area Land Trust and the City of Nanaimo’s Parks, Recreation and Culture department. On her tours, Mills said people are often surprised to discover how many edible plants are growing in the Nanaimo area. She cautions that people who want to start gathering should get training, do their research by reading books on the topic and go with an expert before collecting on their own so they don’t gather plants that look similar to edible varieties but are toxic. People also need to be cautious about where they gather because some areas could be sprayed with pesticides and gatherers shouldn’t strip wild plants bare. “There are ethics for gathering from the wild. You want to ensure you are not gathering rare plants and not gathering too much from one area,” she said.

“

You want to ensure you are not gathering rare plants and not gathering too much from one area.

A good rule of thumb is to only gather about 10 per cent of a plant to ensure there is enough for wildlife foraging and for the plant to reseed itself, she said. Gatherers often have to venture out of urban areas for collecting. “It’s tough in urban areas. It’s a lot harder to find those plants,” said Mills. A good place to start getting familiar and using wild edible plants is by purchasing plants or seeds and planting them in the garden or in pots on balconies or windowsills, said Mills. People can also sometimes pick up plants at farmers’ markets. The second annual Harvest Festival Saturday (Sept. 15) in the Old City Quarter will also allow people to learn about wild edible plants.

Restructuring continues at conservancy BY TOBY GORMAN THE NEWS BULLETIN

A temporary freeze by the Canada Revenue Agency on The Land Conservancy’s accounts was lifted last week as the organization’s board continues to work on financial restructuring. CRA applied the freeze due to Goods and Service Tax arrears owing on a property transaction and employee tax arrears. A $23,000 cheque to CRA was caught in the freeze, according to a TLC release. “CRA had frozen our accounts, making it impossible for us to operate,” said Briony Penn, vice-chairwoman and co-founder of the conservancy. “TLC’s continued cash flows from members, supporters, and income earning facilities has enabled us to pay down these arrears significantly. CRA understands that allowing us to operate is to our mutual benefit, and is critical to the success of the restructuring process.” TLC has two properties near Nanaimo – Wildwood, widely recognized as a model for ecoforestry, and 56 hectares of land on the lower Nanaimo River, which is part of a 99-year lease with the Regional District of Nanaimo. Penn said TLC’s board of directors is working on a sustainability plan that will enable the conservancy the opportunity to continue to protect special places in British Columbia. That plan is expected to be revealed at a general meeting on Nov. 3. According to the release, TLC cannot legally sell its conservation properties. Like all charities it must comply with legislation and its own bylaws and standards of practices. Penn said in a worst case scenario, properties would be transferred to other charitable organizations with a similar mandate, such as Nanaimo and Area Land Trust, but added TLC is expecting two significant government grants before the end of the calendar year. Across the province, TLC is involved with 300 projects totalling about 48,500 hectares. reporter2@nanaimobulletin.com

Budget input sought from communities The province’s all-party Select Standing Committee on finance and government services will host provincewide budget consultations in the coming weeks, but Nanaimo won’t be part of the 22-city schedule. Three of those cities – Dawson Creek, Fort Nelson and Salmon Arm – will have public hearings via video conference sessions. A spokesperson for the committee said consultations rotate through B.C. municipalities year-to-year, and Nanaimo’s last consultation was through video conference in 2010. Three Island dates for this year’s consultations include Courtenay and Parksville, Oct. 17, and Victoria Oct. 18. “The consultation process provides an important opportunity for British Columbians to provide input on next year’s provincial budget,” said Douglas Horne, committee chairman, in a release. Surrey will host the first public hearing on Sept. 17, after the Budget 2013 Consultation Paper is release by the Ministry of Finance. The public is invited to attend any public hearing, send a written submission, respond to the online survey of submit video file.

Guilty plea entered in stabbing A man on parole for a 1970 murder was sentenced last week to two years’ jail time for stabbing another resident of the trailer park he lived in. The incident happened Aug. 21 at a trailer park in the 2300 block of Arbot Road in the Westwood Lake area. Teddy Antoine and the manager of the trailer park got into an argument and Antoine stabbed the manager numerous times, said Crown counsel Ron Parsons.

U u o Y s n g i S

The injuries were non-lifethreatening and the victim had to have surgery on his hand, he added. Antoine pleaded guilty in Nanaimo provincial court on Sept. 4 to one count of aggravated assault and was given the two-year sentence. Parsons said Antoine’s lifetime parole for the 1970 murder was revoked and he will serve his time for the assault concurrently with the life sentence.

Polar bears, icebergs highlight Arctic trip Nanaimo teen shares adventure with Dover Bay classmates BY JENN McGARRIGLE THE NEWS BULLETIN

Polar bears, icebergs and the effects of climate change on the Arctic are three things that will stand out in Isabella Thorsteinsdottir’s memories from a trip to Nunavut and Greenland last month. The Grade 11 Dover Bay Secondary School student was one of about 80 students aged 14-18 from around the world selected to participate in the ship-based journey July 29-Aug. 13 alongside more than 30 scientists, historians, artists, explorers, educators, leaders, innovators and polar experts. The expedition, organized by Students On Ice, took the students on a ship journey along the east coast of Baf-

fin Island and to the west side of Greenland. “The most memorable thing would be the ice – it dominated the whole landscape,” said Thorsteinsdottir. “And each bit of it was so different. Some of it was the deepest blues you could ever imagine. Some of it was like crystal almost.” While the Nanaimo student is originally from Iceland, this is the first time she’s ever seen ice on that scale, especially the icebergs the ship passed, some of which towered above them. But even though there was lots of ice around, Thorsteinsdottir learned from educators and Inuit villagers how there is less of it in the Arctic now than in the recent past. The boat went into some fjords in Greenland and Baffin Island that educators told the students were completely inaccessible not too long ago because they were so packed with ice. “We could see marks on the mountains where the ice

a 500-person Inuit village on Baffin Island, she learned that the ice they hunt on is getting thinner and in places can be extremely dangerous to go onto.

and so many others with a greater understanding and deeper respect for our planet. I’m going to really use what I learned to shape how I want to live my life. I really want to try to make a positive effect on my fellow classmates, maybe spark some interest in what I learned.” Her activism will include a presentation to the Dover Bay Eco Club, of which Thorsteinsdottir is an active member. Besides the environmental message, a highlight of the trip was seeing polar bears floating by the ship on large ice sheets. “They were just there, in the middle of nowhere,” said Thorsteinsdottir. “We saw them swim from ice sheet to ice sheet.” The trip also featured glimpses of seals, beluga whales and narwhales. When visiting a village on Baffin Island, narwhal was one of the delicacies. “I can’t say it was the best thing I’d ever tasted,” she said.

EDITORIAL

Safety starts with practise p There comes a time when good, oldfashioned common sense has to be the measuring stick in keeping us safe. The Canadian Paediatric Society’s call on the provinces and territories to legislate helmet use and training courses for young operators of all-terrain vehicles makes good sense. Safety should always be foremost in everyone’s mind when on any type of vehicle – motoized or humanpowered. But calling for a national BANNING ban on anyone under DRIVERS 16-years-old from driving an from ATVs ATV is heavy-handed. today won’t It screams of bubble-wrap help them legislation – going to an extreme to protect us all tomorrow. from activities that have the potential to cause harm. That harm, on occasion, will have serious or fatal results. But you cannot cocoon the world to keep it safe. Richard Stanwick, society president and chief medical officer for the Vancouver Island Health Authority, said riding an ATV is a challenging undertaking even for an adult. He said people are often injured getting on a vehicle for the first time and underestimating the skill required to operate it. But a ban is not the answer. Does turning 16 suddenly make a young person capable of riding with skill? No, that only comes with experience. We have to trust young people learning to ride are doing so under the guidance of adults who demand they wear a helmet and other protective gear, that they are on a size-appropriate vehicle and ride a course or trail that complements their ability. Introducing people to ATVs at an early age, and allowing them to learn properly, can reduce accidents. It won’t prevent them all, but it’s better than the free-for-all that could occur when they turn of age and take the controls.

I try to be responsible The driver slowed and yelled enough for my actions to keep his apology, but according to the myself and everybody else safe road rules, I was at fault, not just like when I’m driving, but the guy driving the pickup. I waved, smiled – sheepishly I’ve seen my share of cyclists – and rode off thinking, that get upset, rude and even downhappened because neither of us right belligerent with drivers were sure of what road rules when close calls occur. applied in that case. Mistakes happen. Get over it. Neither the universe or the Drivers, on the other hand, need to learn where their rules of the road give cyclists special protections and privivehicles are. A lot of cars you leges and cyclists with self-righdrive seem like they’re closer to teous attitudes who choose to objects around them than they really are. rub elbows with heavy machinery don’t foster good relations As a result, a lot of drivers pass in the oncoming lane to get with motorists by throwing tan-

around me. It’s unnecessary and often dangerous. If I’m riding the road shoulder on the right side of the line (assuming the road has a paved shoulder) and a car passes, we won’t hit each other as long as we both stay on our sides of the line. On narrow, rural roads with soft gravel shoulders I often ride a bike with wider tires that allow me to ride in the gravel so cars can pass. If I’m riding a skinny-tire bike designed for pavement, I plan a different route. I know this all sounds like a sermon, but cycling will get more dangerous with fall weather, especially on dark, wet nights when road glare blinds drivers to cyclists in spite of reflective clothing, lights and reflectors. Also, the way things seem to be going, I’ll predict there is going to be a lot more bicycles on the road in coming years and it’s going to get tougher, not easier, to stay safe as the roads become more congested. Anyone who cycles and has wound up having a close call or a crash because they didn’t know what the rules are can look them up by visiting the BikeSense website at www. bikesense.bc.ca. Drivers should have a look at those too, so we’re all working from the same script when we’re out on the road. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

A simple spank Summer hard on pets just a form of loving discipline To the Editor, John Fletcher, editorin-chief of the Canadian Medical Association Journal, recently spoke out against the age old practice of spanking disobedient children. Fletcher wrote it is time for Canada to remove this anachronistic excuse for poor parenting from the statute book. He also said corporal punishment can lead to drug addiction, depression, etc. He failed, though, to give a description between the difference of firm and loving discipline and outright child abuse. We should note today that depression, anxiety, and drug addiction are at all-time highs in a culture more frowning upon a spank. I believe that to outlaw reasonable corporal punishment is far overreaching and a sign that those in influential positions are out of touch with the voice of nature. They have become more concerned about following the popular consensus and dogma of their colleagues just like a pack animal. If you are whipping or spanking your child daily or often, then something is wrong. Every child is different and some children rarely need to be spanked if at all. Some need more discipline to tame and give direction for their strong passion with a more heavy hand.

Primal emotions can eclipse the heart and the mind. Sometimes a simple spank is the only thing one can do to tame the primal emotions of a child so he or she can discover the higher emotions of themselves and integrate them harmoniously with the lower emotions, creating a well-balanced person. If one only gives a disobedient young child a lecture full of guilt instead of firm, friendly advice with the possibility of a spank as last resort, they can do much harm. They misguidedly address the child’s higher person which is not yet fully cognizant when they should be addressing the child’s primal lower nature in a language that it is understood. This sort of passive aggressive discipline is too personal and fails to communicate to the primal nature of a child which can lead to a life filled with phantom guilt and self-doubt. Mostly it is in the tone. A spank followed by a loving hug is much better received than outright rebuke and a cold shoulder. What in part ails society is not corporal punishment, but a dogma which ignores the common sense of nature and has no faith in that voice expressed in the unsuppressed caring actions of parents. Holden Southward Nanaimo

To the Editor, I have come to the sad conclusion that summer has a high lost or missing pet rate for both cats and dogs. This is due to warmer weather which causes pets to venture further from their homes and causes them to seek out shade and cooler places to lay such as open garages or under decks. I have also noticed that some people do everything in their power to get their pet back as quickly as possible. They call the SPCA, animal shelter, veterinarians, newspapers and put ads on websites. Now while the person is trying to track down their pet, there is the other side of this story – those who know the whereabouts of that pet but don’t do anything. If you notice an animal in your area make a quick call to the SPCA. Most likely if the pet is lost or missing, the SPCA has been informed. If you can get close to the animal, check to see if there is a tattoo, or if the animal is fixed. This is a strong indication that the pet is ‘owned’. We need everyone to be aware of ‘new pets’ in their area so the animal has a higher chance of getting home. For cats, it is easy for someone to just take it in. Please be aware of the animals in your area. There are web sites like Facebook that have an animal lost and found page. Nanaimo Craigslist has a lost and found in the community section, as does Kijiji. So many pets could be reunited with their worried owners if everyone did their part. Then the animal shelters and SPCA

would have less animals to take care of. Jennifer Altenburg Nanaimo

Lack of jail time a sad commentary To the Editor, Again we learn that yet another convicted Stanley Cup rioter won’t serve any jail time. How anyone can call this

“just” is beyond me. But we all have seen rationalization of the most outrageous behaviour. Apparently destroying property, trespassing, looting, and stealing is now “rationalized” as not jail worthy. No word on whether there was an order that the thief fully reimburse the victims. Do we all have to wait until the apologists for evil become crime victims directly before justice becomes a priority? Let’s ask those who have the power to reform this travesty. When are Prime Minister Stephen Harper and B.C. Premier Christy Clark going to act to fix a clearly broken justice system? Canada needs to replace judges who do not know what justice is with ones who do. Gary Korpan Nanaimo

Government workers must face reality To the Editor, Darryl Walker, president of the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union, should start doing some research himself because the last B.C. government offer on the table was excellent, considering the economic times we are in. I am sure he holds off on various home projects himself when funds are short. Ontario Liberals are working on contracts too, and proposing just now zero wage increases. What Walker does not understand is these slow economic times are all part of history, and hard times will turn around in due course. In the meantime, take the offer, they still have a job. When times are good again, they will get regular pay increases. Not to be cheeky, but how many government employees ever have to put in a claim for employment insurance in relation to people working in the private industry? Does Walker know how many people in the private sector are working full-time without pay increases? The union has to really think this contract position over. Catalyst employees took a $5 per hour reduction on their wage for up to a five year agreement. Walker must face reality. Joe Sawchuk Duncan

Nanaimo actress auditions for CBC reality show for chance to play Dorothy BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN

mily Blake’s journey on the yellowbrick road ended before she reached the Emerald City. But even though she didn’t make it to her final destination, she gained valuable experiences along the way. The 17-year-old Nanaimo actress and singer was one of 80 Canadian hopefuls who auditioned for CBC’s show Over the Rainbow in Toronto before the final cut. The show was on the hunt for the next Dorothy to star in Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s Wizard of Oz musical set to start this December. Over the Rainbow, similar to other popular reality TV shows, pits contestants against each other and makes the 10 Dorothy finalists battle it out on stage to garner votes from the home audience. CBC’s Over the Rainbow airs Sunday (Sept. 16). Blake’s mother saw the advertisement for the show while watching CBC. They realized the Vancouver auditions were over, but headed to Calgary for the June 3 tryouts. “It was so nerve wracking because it was practically my first professional audition,” said Blake, adding singing for casting director Stephanie Gorin was an amazing experience. She sang Somewhere Over the Rainbow for Gorin. Blake said the casting director told her she might be looking at the next Dorothy when she finished.

It takes 11 muscles to read this ad.

Emily Blake was one of 80 Canadian hopefuls who flew to Toronto to audition for CBC’s Over The Rainbow, a reality TV show searching for the next Dorothy to star in Andrew Lloyd Weber and Tim Rice’s Wizard of Oz musical. “I was just smiling from ear to ear and went and grabbed it (the ticket to the next round) and walked out of the room and giggled,” said Blake. “And then I saw my mom and started crying. It was so emotional.” Passing the first round meant she had to

go to Toronto June 20 for the final elimination while the producers whittled down the girls to the 10 that would appear on the show. In Toronto the hopeful contestants did segments on news channels to promote the upcoming show. Blake’s final audition was in the eve-

Actress relates to Dorothy’s struggles ◆ From /9 The character of Dorothy strikes a chord inside Blake. “She’s a small town girl, which is kind of what I am and is just trying to find what she wants and who she is,” said Blake about Dorothy. “I can relate so much to it.” The song also has a deep meaning for her. “I always think about if I was in her position and was completely alone,” said Blake. “It would feel so terrible.” After performing Blake had to wait for three hours before the final decision was made. “All you wanted was for your name to be called,” said Blake. “It was just crazy because you didn’t know what they were doing. You couldn’t do anything to help yourself in any way.” But Blake’s name wasn’t called.

What’sOn

“I was disappointed. It was very emotional and such a long process, but I went and congratulated the others,” she said. Even though it was disappointing not to be chosen Blake said the audition process gave her knowledge of what to expect in the future as she continues to pursue work in musical theatre. It’s also a great addition to her resume, she added. Blake is continuing to hone her craft and pursue her dream. People in Nanaimo can see her in two upcoming plays. She’s in the ensemble of Schmooze Productions’ Sweeney Todd, which runs Nov. 8 to Dec. 1 and is the Mad Hatter in Nanaimo Theatre Group’s Alice in PantoLand, which runs Dec. 21 to 31. She also plans to audition for the Woodlands Secondary School production of Alice in Wonderland.

sports V.I. Raiders romp to 85-0 win

JR. FOOTBALL team shuts out Chilliwack.

Clippers earn first win of fall BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

The V.I. Raiders and the Chilliwack Huskers both play in the B.C. Football Conference, but really, they’re not in the same league. The Raiders wiped out the Huskers 85-0 on Saturday afternoon at Caledonia Park. The game might have gotten even more out of hand, but at halftime, with the home team up 70-0, officials decided to implement the BCFC’s run-time mercy rule. Even though the opposition couldn’t provide much resistance, the Raiders saw some positives in their own game. “We’re getting really close to becoming that Raiders team that we want to be,” said Matthew (Snoop) Blokker, V.I. coach. “We’re just getting better every week and getting tougher, getting meaner and playing that style of football.” In preparing for the game, the coach asked his players to be concerned with their own execution on the field, and keep mental focus. “The coaches do a good job of keeping us intense and saying we can’t play down to our opponents’ level,” said James Riley, V.I. defensive back. “We

can’t play down to their level and show the rest of the league that we’re weak in any facet.” J.J. Mraovic, new Raiders safety, said all game long, his team played like it wanted to win. “We did everything we could to put as many points on the board, and be as physical as we possibly could,” he said. “You’ve always got to

stay crisp, you’ve always got to do the little things right.” The only drama on the scoreboard was the question of whether the Raiders would preserve the shutout. In the fourth quarter, the Huskers got into position to try for a 25-yard field goal, but V.I.’s Erling Skuggedal blocked the kick. “The whole team was

fired up … because we wanted that zero,” said Riley. “And there was no way that that kick was going through. Every guy on that defence was getting to that ball; I think there were six guys waiting to block that kick.” The scoring started on the Raiders’ very first play from scrimmage. Andrew Deleon got the start at tailback for the Raiders and

scored a 78-yard rushing touchdown, then added a 34-yard rushing TD later in the first quarter. Jo rd a n Ya n t z a l s o scored two touchdowns, in noteworthy fashion – he caught a two-yard touchdown pass from Dustin Pedersen, and the Raiders QB also had a rushing touchdown and two TD passes. ◆ See ‘TEAM’ /26

The Nanaimo Clippers earned their first win of what they hope will be a special 40th anniversary season. The Clippers defeated the Salmon Arm Silverbacks 2-1 on Sunday in Chilliwack, a day after losing their first game of the season 2-1 to the host Chilliwack Chiefs at the B.C. Hockey League’s showcase tournament. “The first game we were a little bit nervous. It was kind of a tough circumstance, we were playing against the home team … and they’d already played a game and we hadn’t played one yet,” said Mike Vandekamp, Clippers coach. “I think some of the jitters and nerves and stuff were evident.” Jesse Neher scored the first goal of the season for the Clippers with five minutes to go in the first period to tie the game 1-1. In the second period Nanaimo ran into penalty trouble and the Chiefs scored the game winner. “It was a game that could have went either way,” said Vandekamp. “It was actually a deadeven game, it’s just they capitalized on the power play and we didn’t.” ◆ See ‘HOCKEY’ /26

TTeam sets record with six touchdowns in first quarter

◆ From /25 Taylor Flavel scored two majors, as well, one on a two-yard run and the other on a 30-yard run. Ashton Galloway added a 26-yard TD run. Dustin Pedersen made a 45-yard touchdown

catch, Mike Schaper made it look easy on a 13-yard TD catch and Marshall Cook caught a 10-yard TD on the last play of the game. Andrew Deleon finished with 140 rushing yards and Jordan Yantz ended 5-for-7

passing for 136 yards. The defence contributed two major scores as Shane Stonehouse recovered a fumble for a TD a minute and a half into the game and Ariel Fabbro scored a touchdown on a 24-yard

interception return. Glenn Boyce also had an INT, Stonehouse had two forced fumbles and two sacks, Tremaine Apperley had two sacks and Ash Gayat, Cam Rossetto and Brendan Neverson also had sacks.

Dylan Chapdelaine had a team-high five tackles. GRID BITS … Nanaimo’s 42 first-quarter points are a new CJFL record. The previous record of 35 was set by the Ottawa Sooners in 1975. The league doesn’t

Hockey club thinks about home opener ◆ From /25 There was a quick tur naround for the Clippers, who faced off at 11 a.m. Sunday morning against the Silverbacks. Still, the Clips “played energetic and played hard,” said the coach. Nanaimo got firstperiod goals from Michael McNicholas and Reid Sturos to take a 2-0 lead, and continued to play intelligently from there. “We didn’t capitalize a ton today, obviously, but we played way better defensively and it was really a sound game for us,” Vandekamp said. “We seemed to control the play really well today, so we didn’t have those frantic moments in the latter stages of the game at all.” ICE CHIPS … Jayson Argue tended goal in both games for the Clippers. Shots were 30-30 against the Chiefs on Saturday, then 40-22 in favour of the Clippers in their win Sunday … Nanaimo plays its home opener Saturday (Sept. 15) when the Powell River Kings come to Frank Crane Arena for a 7 p.m. start. That will be the Clippers’ only action of next weekend. sports@nanaimobulletin.com
