Mountain bike trail planned for Westwood City partners with club to build lake route BY TOBY GORMAN THE NEWS BULLETIN
The Nanaimo Mountain Bike Club and City of Nanaimo have created a partnership that will see a dedicated mountain bike trail built around Westwood Lake. The project will give the club a much-needed protected trail on city property – many of the current trails mountain bikers use locally are on private land and are prone to logging or other land-use conflicts – and will also reduce the conflict between hikers, runners and mountain bikers at Westwood Lake. “We think we can work together on a trail in that area because there is a lot of land owned by the city there, so, yes, we’re interested,” said Jeff Ritchie, senior manager of parks for the city. Early stages of discussions suggest the trail will begin at the main parking lot at Westwood Lake, head northwest around the lake and eventually link up with the West Ridge and Binx trails, a distance of about six kilometres. A trail crew from the International Mountain Bike Association of Canada, an international organization dedicated to building world-class trails while helping shape land-use policy, will be in Nanaimo Dec. 6-8 to educate both city staff and club members on sustainable trail design and maintenance. Mason McGarrigle, trails director for the Nanaimo club, said having a trail protected by the city would be a first for riders in the Harbour City. Recently, sections of popular trails like the Abyss, Roller Coaster and Humility have been logged, and some of the Doumont trails are subject to biowaste spraying by Vancouver Island University.
“
Mountain biking is an industry that is growing by leaps and bounds.
“Having an established park within the city parks means the trail will be protected which is good for mountain bikers in Nanaimo,” said McGarrigle. “There isn’t anything like that yet. We’re hoping that in the future we’ll be able to establish more trails, and once they see how well this is received they’ll be willing to work on a larger network of trails.” The mountain bike club envisions an area like Whistler’s Lost Lake bike park, where all levels of riders from beginner to advanced can enjoy a network of signed trails built to a high standard, and that the park can be used to complement other recreational opportunities at Westwood Lake. “There is a tourism aspect to it for sure,” said Ritchie. “Mountain biking is an industry that is growing by leaps and bounds.” During the IMBA workshop, the city and club will work together to build the first 200 metres of trail and will then meet again to determine the best approach to complete it. reporter2@nanaimobulletin.com

Input sought on tourism priorities and initiatives Residents and stakeholders will have an opportunity to comment on an initial draft list of priorities for tourism initiatives, part of a three-year tourism strategic plan. Initiated by the Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation and its Tourism Leadership Committee, the plan is being designed to enhance the region’s tourism product and promote tourism more effectively. Open houses are scheduled for Wednesday (Nov. 14) from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Haven on Gabriola Island and from 5-8 p.m. at Living Forest Campground. The Grand Hotel will host the Thursday (Nov. 15) open house from 4:30-7:30 p.m. “The TLC values the feedback of both tourism stakeholders and the broader community,” said Dan Brady, chairman of the Tourism Leadership Committee. “We look forward to thoughtful discussions.” A final report is expected to be released by the end of the year.

Class helps pick right pet
I
CHOOSING ANIMAL that matches lifestyle important in adoption. BY BETH HENDRY-YIM THE NEWS BULLETIN
Look online, in shelters, or at kennels and you’ll find an endless variety of pooches that pluck at the heartstrings. Big eyes, soft whimpers and bodies wiggling with the pleasure of your company are almost too appealing to resist. But picking the perfect pet involves more than just an emotional tug, which is why the Nanaimo Kennel Club and trainer Sarah Lane are offering a free class on how to choose the right dog. “Our goal is to help people make informed choices,” said Lane. “Is it a puppy or mature dog they need, a rescue or purebred, high energy or low?” For Lane, helping people find the canine match-made-in-heaven means dog owners can avoid creating pets with behavior issues, anxiety and even aggression. It also means fewer dogs ending up in shelters or the pound. “We see dogs come here fairly frequently that aren’t a match energy-wise with their owners,” said Sue Hughes, manager of the city pound. She said people may like the look or idea of a certain breed but
don’t understand the personality and traits and therefore training requirements. A husky, for example, is a good-looking dog, but unless you’re willing to run it three or more hours a day, it isn’t the right one for you. “An unhappy dog means an unhappy owner,” said Lane, so her presentation focuses on helping people understand the potential issues that come with different breeds, ages and level of socialization. She added as an example, that a family where both parents work all day may not be the best home for a puppy and those seeking a rescue dog should know what kind of training and therapy may be needed. “The first step in looking for the right dog involves assessing yourself,” she said. That means considering your lifestyle, energy level, available time for training and exercise and where you’ll be during the dog’s lifespan. “A dog can live up to 15 years,” said Lane. “So we’re offering information on choosing and caring for a dog throughout their life.” Commitment to a canine companion is a long-term one and worth considering because the dog that doesn’t fit today may become tomorrow’s rescue. The class, called Choices, Choices: Choosing the Right Dog, is being held Thursday (Nov. 15) at Beban Park Social Center from 6:30-7:30 pm. There is no charge and everyone is welcome. editor@nanaimobulletin.com

TToy drive gives gift of hope BY JENN M C GARRIGLE
drive publicity director. “Because we want everyone to be hopeful, we like every child to have a present.” The 29th annual toy drive, which launches Thursday (Nov. 15), collects toys and money to purchase presents for underprivileged children in Nanaimo with the goal of ensuring no child goes emptyhanded at Christmas time. In 2011, the campaign provided presents for more than 1,600 children. “It’s really about the village raising the child,” said Iles. “It’s a way that parents can be supported.” People can drop off donations at Woodgrove Centre, Nanaimo North Town Centre,
THE NEWS BULLETIN
Having a gift under the tree to unwrap at Christmas time is a special experience – a feeling of anticipation in the days leading up to Christmas morning and the excitement of opening a gift intended just for you. The organizers of the Great Nanaimo Toy Drive want to ensure all children have this experience. “Hope is an important element of a human being’s life and when children receive even one gift, they have an opportunity to participate in a custom that is designed to promote hope, encourage hope in people,” said Carolyn Iles, toy
Country Club Centre, all four Coastal Community Credit Union branches, Nanaimo Fire Rescue fire halls and the Port Theatre. Hockey fans can also bring stuffed toys to the Nanaimo Clippers game at Frank Crane Arena Dec. 1, where they toss the toys on the ice when the Clippers score their first goal. The Nanaimo News B u l l e t i n’s a n n u a l Pennies for Presents campaign, which also launches Thursday, is one of the toy drive’s biggest revenue generators. “Our biggest partners are the people of Nanaimo,” said Iles. “Without their support, our goal can’t be reached.”
Iles said the age limit was lowered to 16 from 17 this year – organizers are anticipating a greater demand for the service due to the economic climate, that many teenagers have jobs of their own by age 17. There is also less in the organization’s coffers than usual for this time of year, partly because the Nanaimo Toy Run Society’s second annual toy run, held in July, was rained out and public participation was lower. For toy donations, Iles recommends gift cards or movie tickets for older kids, and for newborns and younger kids whatever people think will strike a child’s fancy. Early registration takes place at all

Program expected to save lives BY NIOMI PEARSON THE NEWS BULLETIN
A new provincewide colorectal cancer screening program will kick off on Vancouver Island April 1. The primary-care based program, announced by Health minister Margaret MacDiarmid on Nov. 5, is targeting increased patient participation by offering the fecal immunochemical test (FIT), a simple take-home sample kit which does not require changes to medication or diet. General practitioners will now refer patients between the ages of 50 and 74 without symptoms for a screening test once every two years. Patients with a significant family history of colorectal cancer will be referred to their regional health authority for a screening colonoscopy. A complete provincial colorectal screening program will be phased in with all health authorities on board over the spring and summer of 2013. Through the Medical Services Plan, the Ministry of Health will support general practitioner and specialist (colonoscopist) fees, and the laboratory fee for the FIT while
the BC Cancer Agency will provide overall leadership and provincial oversight of the new model. The announcement is welcome news for the Canadian Cancer Society, wich has been advocating for a colorectal cancer screening program for years, says Erin Hemmens, coordinator of health promotion at the cancer society’s Nanaimo office. “We are very pleased that this program will be offered to all British Columbians,” she said. Information from the society states that colorectal cancer is the second-leading cause of death from cancer in men and women combined. In 2012, they estimate 2,850 British Columbians will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer and of those, approximately 1,150 will die. “Colorectal cancer screening will save lives,” said Kathryn Seely, society’s public issues director. “It is a disease that grows (typically) predictably and slowly so it can be caught by screening before symptoms occur. If it’s caught before symptoms occur, it can usually be treated very well and be curable at that stage.”

Bottled water phased out of city facilities Bottled water will soon be unavailable at city-owned recreational facilities in an effort to promote the use of municipal water. In June, Nanaimo city council voted to become a Blue Community after being approached by the Council of Canadians Mid-Island Chapter, Vancouver Island Water Watch and the Canadian Union of Public Employees. Being a Blue Community includes recognizing water as a human right; promoting publicly financed, owned and operated water and waste water services, and banning the sale of bottled water in public facilities. Phasing out bottled water has been a gradual process as the parks, recreation and culture department has worked with contractors and vendors to clear out existing inventory. Currently, all plastic water bottles have been removed from vend-
ing machines and concessions will no longer sell bottled water. Other beverages, such as sodas and sports drinks, will continue to be sold in city vending machines. According to the city, community groups hosting events in city facilities or parks are still allowed to provide or sell bottled water but will be encouraged to explore alternatives. At city facilities, users will find clearly marked water fountains and will also be able to purchase reusable water bottles from the front counters of major recreation facilities in the city. Recyclable paper cups will also be available from dispensers located near most fountains. The city will also install signage to remind visitors to bring their own water bottles with them when attending events or programs at city facilities.
Ferries consultation begins this week Residents can float their ideas about the future of the coastal ferry service during public meetings in the Nanaimo area this week. The province announced a public consultation process two weeks ago that seeks input on how to find $26 million in savings over the next four years and how to make the service more sustainable, affordable and efficient. A review earlier this year by the independent B.C. Ferry Commissioner identified significant financial challenges. The commissioner recommended the government, B.C. Ferries, ferry users and the public all need to be part of the solution. Public open houses take place on Gabriola Island
and in Nanaimo this week. The Gabriola meeting takes place today (Nov. 13) at The Haven from 6-9 p.m. and the Nanaimo meeting takes place Thursday (Nov. 15) from 6-9 p.m. at the Coast Bastion Inn. Two small group meetings from 9-11 a.m. and 1-3 p.m. also take place at the Coast Bastion Inn Thursday. To attend a small group meeting, please e-mail coastalferriesengagement@gov.bc.ca or call 1-855-3877882. No RSVP is required for the open houses. Those unable to attend the meetings have the opportunity to comment online. For more information, please visit www.coastalferriesengagement.ca.

School connects with Métis culture to increase knowledge BY NIOMI PEARSON THE NEWS BULLETIN
The rich, cultural history of the Red River Valley and its people will reach more 200 children in the Nanaimo-Ladysmith school district as Georgia Avenue School prepares to host Métis Awareness Days this week. The two-day annual event, a partnership between the district and the Mid-Island Métis Association, has been a local tradition for the last 15-20 years. Students in Grades 3-5 from across the district take turns visiting the school and taking part in activities and learning stations which cover everything from Métis beading to jigging. “It’s a way for kids to have hands-on experience with a culture that may not be overflowing with a lot of text,” said Laura Tait, the district’s principal of aboriginal education. “They’re going be able to be connected in a fun way and be engaged and it’s going to make way more sense when they actually study it back in the classroom.”
According to Tait, the definition of Métis is ‘mixed blood’, and refers to a specific group of people dating back to the fur trade of the 1800s, a time when many British and French-Canadian fur traders married First Nations and Inuit women. “It is very distinct to Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, and even more so to the Red River Valley,” she said. “Because these children were born with both First Nations and European ancestry, quite often they weren’t included in either of those two groupings, and therefore became quite bonded and connected within their own grouping of people, and basically created their own culture, traditions, language and way of life.” Of the 1,998 students who make up the aboriginal population in School District No. 68, about 391 are Métis, Tait said. “We’ve got so many cultures here in Canada, it’s very important that these individuals maintain that strength, and keeping it alive and reviving it as much as possible is a definite goal,” Tait said. “One of the big questions is how do we increase the knowledge and awareness of all children and adults in our system around aboriginal perspective, history, colonization, contemporary context – and [Awareness Days]
Annual food drive seeks donations
Tomorrow (Nov. 14) residents can fill their tummies and Christmas hampers with food at the same time. The fifth annual Help Big Boys Toys Fill This Motor Home with Food campaign kicks off tomorrow with a community food drive barbecue. In exchange for a non-perishable food donation to the food drive, participants will receive a hotdog, chips and pop. Any cash donations will be applied to food purchases for the food drive efforts. The barbecue event is sponsored by local air compressor manu f a c t u re r Ve h i cl e Mounted Air Compressors, and will be held at their 1333 Kipp Rd. location, at 11 a.m. The public is encouraged to get into the spirit of giving. The business or organization that delivers the
largest food donation during the VMAC event will receive a swag bag of goodies valued at $100 and there will also be prizes for notable individual donations. The campaign is now in its fifth year and looking to up its donations to 6,750 kilograms of food, along with cash donations. From Nov. 14 to Dec. 13, the Big Boys Toys motorhome will make appearances at Quality Foods locations, and other businesses and events from Parksville to Nanaimo, collecting as much food as possible before the hand-off on Dec. 14. In 2011, 5,175 kg of food were donated to the Salvation Army and Loaves and Fishes food bank. For more information, please call Lurene Haines at 250-740-3200 or Larry Polnick at 250-468-1500.

is certainly one of the ways.” Both days will kick off with a morning prayer before the activities begin. In addition to learning about Mitchif (Métis language), the students will visit displays, learn finger weaving, snack on Métis foods such as fried bread and learn the art of jigging, a Métis dance. “Often, we also have a teepee and there’s storytelling inside,” Tait said. Métis Awareness Days takes place Wednesday and Thursday (Nov. 14-15) from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and is in accordance with the district’s Aboriginal Education Enhancement Agreement. It also coincides with Métis Cultural Awareness week, proclaimed by the City of Nanaimo for the week of Nov. 12-17.

U.S. pot vote can helpp here Marijuana reform advocates hope Washington and Colorado states’ vote Tuesday to legalize and tax marijuana sales will add momentum to their push for change in B.C. While it’s not yet clear if the U.S. federal government will allow stateby-state legalization of recreational marijuana use – other states already allow medical marijuana sales – the vote has huge implications here. Washington state estimates it would collect $560 million in the first year from a planned 25-per-cent tax on the sale of licensed, regulated marijuana through authorized stores. If enacted, this could also cause a partial collapse of B.C.’s estimated $7-billion-a-year illegal pot industry, as growers relocate to the U.S. to avoid the need to smuggle. Recently, the Union of B.C. Municipalities passed a resolution calling for marijuana to be decriminalized. They’d rather pot be regulated and taxed instead, much like alcohol. The U.S. votes are a progressive move toward responsible marijuana use. It’s time for B.C. to take a similar step toward decriminalization, if not legalization of marijuana. The potential tax revenue and the opportunity to reduce law enforcement costs, and help unclog our court system is too much to pass up. Sensible B.C., a campaign headed by B.C. marijuana activist and medical pot dispenser Dana Larsen, wants to follow in the footsteps of both Washington campaigners and B.C.’s successful anti-HST drive. The group aims to get enough signatures on a petition to force a provincial referendum on marijuana decriminalization, through B.C.’s Recall and Initiative Act. It’s time we take our antiquated marijuana laws and follow the lead of our neighbours to the south and let the people decide if it’s time for a change.

When I didn’t have either of my parents, I told her all my secrets and worries. Not having my cat at my grandparent’s house made the situation worse. Since my mother underwent treatment, there have been several advancements in cancer medicine. These advancements are thanks to people who have donated time and money to the cause. I also support the cause through money and growing out my hair and donating it for wigs. The Canadian Cancer Agency is an important cause to support, but volunteers should be aware there are many people who have been affected by the disease. And the person they are talking to on the other end of the phone could be a cancer survivor. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Practitioners a smart move
To the Editor, Re: Nurse practitioners hope to ease pressure on health-care system, Nov. 3. Bravo to the Vancouver Island Health Authority for employing two nurse practitioners and applause to the nurses who have worked hard and committed themselves to this emerging role in health care. At least 10 years ago, Roy Romanov, head of the Commission on the Future of Health Care, spent much time, effort and care to explore how the health-care system could be made more efficient and responsive. He not only asked questions of stakeholders, he listened to the answers and suggestions. Among the suggestions was one to make better use of nurse practitioners. The problems in terms of procedures can be solved by providing protocols for both NPs and doctors to guide their practice. When something goes wrong there are policies and procedures. If the patient is hospitalized, the nurse calls the doctor. A housebound patient with a chronic disease can be seen more quickly by an NP. If hospitalization is indicated, the NP can admit the patient and appropriate treatment can be initiated hours, if not days, sooner than if the patient either waited for a doctor appointment or went to the emergency room. There is an issue with NPs having their own panel of patients. Let’s not forget the utilization of nurse practitioners is always under the supervision of a physician or a group of physicians. If a patient is not responding to a given protocol, the NP can always consult with the doctor to change the treatment that is not effective. Just as there is an atmosphere of trust between a patient and his/her doctor, there is a similar trust between the doctor and the nurse practitioner. Based on my experience, utilizing nurse practitioners within their scope of practice is a win for all concerned: the physicians who are overworked, the clients who are waiting too long for care; and the
nurses with expanded training who can assist both the doctor and the patient. Mary Compton via e-mail
Anticipating a mistake insulting to professionals To the Editor, Re: Nurse practitioners hope to ease pressure on health-care system, Nov. 3. What simple minded, egocentric, entitlement addict even questions making use of nurse practitioners? The very statement “what happens when something goes wrong?� insults the competence of every nurse, every doctor, every specialist and every hospital administrator in the province. Competently managed medical centres have an escalation methodology. No medical professional, no matter how specialized, knows everything. Everyone has a limit to their capabilities, and every competent professional realizes when those boundaries are being crossed. Nurse practitioners are no different. Medical services need to be optimized to deliver maximum benefit for minimum cost. The success of that optimization should be reflected in the tenure and compensation of the management involved. If that means expanded use of nurse practitioners, reigistered nurses, licensed practical nurses or even volunteers straight off the street, so be it. The only thing that matters are the results: quality, effective health care at a reasonable price. Doug Jones Nanaimo
Need for governance study a puzzling choice To the Editor, At the Nov. 5 meeting of the committee of the whole, council approved by a 6-3 vote an expenditure estimated to be between
ONE D SAL DAY S LES Shop online at thebay.com
$9,000 and $50,000 for a consultant to study governance in the City of Nanaimo. What is governance? Questioned on this, city staff responded: “Council has defined governance through its policies, practices and structures in addition to the parameters of the Community Charter.� You may ask why, when council and staff exercise the powers which they were given by the Community Charter or have taken unto themselves with their “policies, practices and structures� every day, that we should need to hire a consultant to tell us what those are rather than having it defined by the well-paid staff that exercise them routinely and the council which routinely makes decisions about them? Clearly, if we have a misunderstanding on these points then such a document is required, not only for a consultant, but for council, staff and citizens as well. With such a defining document completed in-house, then external experts can critique our “governance� and make suggestions for improvement. Not long ago some councillors suggested that the city hire an external consultant to undertake a core review of our services, a much broader and more inclusive undertaking than this. Staff immediately responded that they could effectively and efficiently perform such a task themselves. Yet concerning this much reduced question – really just a part of a core review – staff argues it is necessary to hire someone to prepare the report which they can then proceed to critique. Why? If council feels that it does not know its policies, practices and structures in addition to the parameters of the Community Charter, nor either does staff, then it is of small wonder that so many lament the manner in which council too often conducts our business.

Everyday items often overlooked in food donations
To the Editor, I hope there is no offense taken with this letter where none was intended. My goal is to let the public know that there are many areas that are so often overlooked when providing for the less fortunate in Nanaimo and the surrounding communities. Although food is a primary concern for those on welfare, people with multiple barriers and those, like myself, who are classified as people with disabilities, there are so many things that are overlooked by supermarkets when putting bags of food together. This is just a short list of things that go beyond basic food items: toilet paper, diapers, pads/tampons, cleaning products, dish and laundry soap, toothpaste and razors. Items like condiments – ketchup, mustard, relish, mayonnaise and pickles – just aren’t in anyone’s budget. Almost one-third of my grocery costs are on non-food items. Although the cost of food along with rent, hydro (which doubled a year ago), and groceries climbs higher annually, our income has remained unchanged for more than a decade. In an era when public ‘servants’ can give themselves a 30 per cent salary increase, we at the other end of the income spectrum struggle from
month to month trying to decide whether we should pay all our rent or buy all the groceries we need. It’s unimaginable to realize the stress when you can only buy half the things on your grocery list. It’s a continual refining of one’s list for the month to have some semblance of food that will make meals for the month. What can’t be bought one month, goes onto the list for the next month. Personally, I have a hiatus hernia and I can’t eat spicy foods. So, the spaghetti sauce which is in every bag of donated food is something I can’t eat ‌ I give it away. I use the pasta with a can of tuna and if I have mayonnaise, I make a cold casserole. Perhaps supermarkets might catch on and put some of these things into freezer bags, or supermarket bags. I understand that these items cost more than what the public is currently spending for the poor in the community. Another example is few – very few – of the agencies that offer toilet paper, can only supply one roll. And lastly, these agencies are set so far apart across the city, and it’s like pulling teeth to get all the information needed to live. Living in poverty is basically a full-time occupation.

Artisans’ tour offers variety More than 30 artists’ work showcased in event that allows people to visit galleries and studios BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN
F
or four days people can follow a path of artistic discovery leading to the homes and studios of potters, sculptures, painters and fine jewelry makers. More than 30 artists are showcasing their work in the 24th annual Cedar and Yellow Point Artisans’ Country Christmas Tour Thursday (Nov. 15) to Sunday (Nov. 18) from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. This year’s tour features 21 destinations and various artistic mediums. For painter and photographer Nicole Vaugeois, it’s the third year she’s participated in the tour. Vaugeois, the owner of The Broody Rooster Gallery, is displaying her work as well as two guest artisans at her gallery, Lesley Lorenz and Marci Leighton. “It’s nice to have that shared community energy,” said Vaugeois about the artisans’ tour. Her gallery is a barn nestled on her farm. Vaugeois said she enjoys speaking to visitors to the gallery about her work because her inspiration comes from the rural landscapes surrounding her. It gives people the unique opportunity to see some of the landscapes and objects that are depicted in her work. Vaugeois said it’s hard to pinpoint when she started on the path to becoming an artist. “I’ve always been a doodler and sketcher,” she said. In recent years, she has pursued acrylic painting. Her pursuit of pho-
tography began when she decided to take out the camera and capture some images to paint. While capturing those images she discovered the joy of photography as an art medium in itself. Fellow tour artisan Claudia Lohmann, of Claudia Lohmann Gallery, started painting 10 years ago. She grew up in an artistic household with a father who was a painter and a sibling who was a potter. It’s the second year she’s participated in the tour. Lohmann said she enjoys talking to visitors who drop by and discuss her work. She upcycles, taking old pieces of furniture and painting them. “I choose a couple of colours and just go wild,” said Lohmann. Lohmann starts her design by getting a pencil and pressing it into the wood to sketch a pattern. She creates geometric abstract paintings on the furniture pieces or on canvas. Her gallery is a little cottage located on her property. However, she paints in a studio located in her home. The tour also includes work by Snuneymuxw artist Noel Brown, who hand carves copper, silver and gold jewelry and traditional cedar carvings. His gallery, like many on the tour, is usually open by appointment only. People can also check out paintings and pottery by artists Tom Daly and Sue Thomas at the Blue Ox Studio or the work of print maker and painter Kathy Barnson at Barnson Studio. Tour brochures with a map and artist descriptions are available at www.cyartisans.com. arts@nanaimobulletin.com
PHOTOS CONTRIBUTED
Nicole Vaugeois’ painting Windy Workday, top, is one of the works inspired by the rural landscape that surrounds her gallery. Claudia Lohmann uses geometric shapes in her paintings, above and right, working on either old pieces of furniture or creating paintings. The two artisans are featured on the Cedar Yellow Point Artisans’ Country Christmas self-guided tour, which runs Nov. 15-18, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Inbrief
sports
Sports scores still to come Nanaimo teams were involved in lots of big games on the weekend, including playoff games. Scores weren’t available at press time, though, due to early deadlines necessitated by the long weekend. The biggest match of the weekend was the Canadian Colleges’ Athletic Association national men’s soccer final between the Vancouver Island University Mariners and the Humber Hawks on Saturday in Coquitlam. The Barsby Bulldogs and Nanaimo Redmen both had playoff games, the Clippers were in action and VIU’s volleyball teams held their home openers. Some coverage is already online at www. nanaimobulletin.com and more stories will be posted today (Nov. 13).
Ski season getting in gear Nanaimo skiers are looking forward to a good snowpack this winter at Mt. Washington near the Comox Valley. The Mt. Washington Freestyle Ski Club is holding its early registration and gear swap Saturday (Nov. 17) from noon-2 p.m. at the Comox Valley Sports Centre in Courtenay. The club offers developmental and competitive programs for youths age six and up. Visit www.mwfc.ca.

Comeback win lifts Buccaneers BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
The Nanaimo Buccaneers came up with the sort of win that can help them turn the corner. The city’s Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League team came back to beat the division-leading Comox Valley Glacier Kings by a 5-3 score Thursday at the Nanaimo Ice Centre. Nanaimo went into the third period trailing 3-1, but scored three unanswered goals and then an empty netter to ice the win. “We realized it was only two goals and this team, we can overcome that and we’ve learned how to,” said Brad Knight, the team’s coach. “I thought we played
hard all night. I thought we were the better team.” Garrett Dunlop put the Bucs up 1-0 in the first period, but the visitors scored three times in the second period. The comeback started with a goal from Dan Foglietta that bounced in from behind the goal line. “We needed something like that to really get us going, either a big hit or a greasy goal like that, it all helps,” said Johnathan Speer, Bucs forward. Corey Renwick tied it soon after, and then with seven minutes left a Glacier Kings defender fell down behind his net and Lucas Franssen stole the puck and got it to Speer for the winning goal.
“[He] made a great pass out in front. All I had to do was pretty much angle my stick and it went in,” said Speer. Renwick added one more and Cameron Large posted the win with 24 saves. Knight said the puck luck and the victory are rewards for his team’s recent hard work. “We’ve been using our youth as an excuse and we’ve decided to stop using it as an excuse,” he said. “There’s goals in everybody. You’ve just got to work hard and you’ve got to want it.” GAME ON … The Buccaneers (8-10-1) host the Oceanside Generals (8-10-2) on Thursday (Nov. 15) at 7:15 p.m. at the NIC. sports@nanaimobulletin.com
The Nanaimo Timbermen junior A lacrosse team wants to be hard-working and hard to play against. That’s the message that’s going to be coming from behind the bench, after Brad Dougan was named the team’s new coach. The B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League club made the announcement Thursday. “Head coaching’s a big job and I’m ready for the challenge and whatever it brings,” Dougan said. “I want to put my heart and soul into this team and get this thing turned around.” He said he knew after last summer that Timbermen management wasn’t happy with how the seasons had gone for the senior A and junior A teams. So this fall, Dougan sought to find out where he stood, and indicated interest in coaching the juniors. It put him at the top of the list when the club decided to make a change. “He’s going to be able to hold the players a lot
more accountable both to themselves and each other,” said Jon Nicholson, general manager of the junior A T-men. “He’s really big on instilling hard work into the players.” Doug an has been assistant coach of the senior A Timbermen for two and a half seasons after five seasons playing for that team. “So there’s not going to be any real systems that he hasn’t seen, both defensively and offensively…” Nicholson said. “He’s a defensive guy, but he’s willing to take some risks and take some chances on the other end of the floor as well. I think that’s going to be a good fit for our club.” Even though the T-men had an ugly 3-17-1 record in 2012, Dougan said the team was missing manpower all season and thinks they’re better than their record suggests. He knows what it takes to make it to the Minto Cup as a player, and it continues to inspire him. “I never won it. It’s been a bitter taste in my mouth ever since,” Dougan said. “So if I can be behind the bench to get to a national championship again, that’s my goal.” sports@nanaimobulletin.com
