Students learn their own way Gone are the days when children are expected to sit still, hands in their laps. BY JENN M C GARRIGLE THE NEWS BULLETIN
There is an order and calmness about Marcy Boudreau’s Grade 1 classroom at Uplands Park Elementary School that seems out of place for a room about to contain 20-odd sixyear-olds. Curtains cover student cubbyholes, the walls are free of the usual riot of colourful posters competing for one’s attention, beige paper covers up walls, binders and filing boxes, and the lighting is soft, coming from a series of lamps rather than the fluorescent tubes overhead. The students file in and, without prompting from the teacher, hang up their jackets in their cubby holes, drop off their homework in a bin by the back door and head toward their desks. As they have a quick snack, the students begin working on the morning message up on the overhead projector – this morning, the message reads: “When my engine runs high, I can”, and it is up to students to finish the sentence. One boy is not ready to sit down and copy out the message; the education assistant has him doing jumping jacks at the back of the classroom. There is another student using a teepee set up behind the desks; a third student uses a standing desk to write; a fourth
For some students, having something to chew on or squeeze can help them concentrate on the lesson at hand, says Brenda WhittamNeary, a speech and language pathologist Nanaimo school district has contracted to teach educators about the selfregulated learning method. The learning style is about determining what each student needs to stay calm, alert and focused so they can manage their behaviour and learn. JENN MCGARRIGLE THE NEWS BULLETIN
has a stretchy band and a roller under his desk to keep his feet occupied while he does his work. After the morning message comes circle time on the carpet in the back corner of the room. Some children sit on stools or little carpets and the teacher goes around handing out items like disposable coffee stir sticks for the children to chew on, squeeze balls and stuffed animals. Boudreau speaks quietly – she doesn’t need to shout over a hum of talking students like she might have had to in the past – and the morning routine of helping her students determine what they need to do so that they can learn begins. Each student has a paper car they place in slots on a chart under one of three headings – low, high or just right. One child who places his car in the ‘low’ spot, explains that his engine is running low because he is feeling tired. “I still think you’re going to be able to learn because you’re listening,” Boudreau tells him. One by one, the students discuss why their engines are running too low or too high – tummy pains, an exciting play date after school, a family trip – and what to do to get in that “just right” state to learn – chewing on a stir stick, kneading Silly Putty or sitting in the teepee. ◆ See ‘STUDENTS’ /7

Dealing with destruction
Rick Kwasnecha, Nanaimo Fire Rescue fire prevention officer, picks through the charred, soggy remains of a home destroyed by fire at the corner of Milton and Albert streets. Firefighters found the 100-year-old house fully involved in flames when they arrived Thursday at about 8 p.m. A female tenant was not home at the time of the blaze and no one was injured. Kwasnecha, who is investigating what sparked the fire, said the wood interior fuelled the rapid spread of the blaze through the structure, which is not salvageable.
Purchasing program saves district cash BY JENN McGARRIGLE THE NEWS BULLETIN
A new purchasing system has paid off for Nanaimo school district to the tune of thousands of dollars in rebates over the past four years. In February 2009, the district began giving purchasing cards, which are accepted the same way as a credit card, to employees who regularly make purchases on behalf of the district. More than 300 ‘P-cards’ are in use in the district, some of which are team cards that allow school
Nanaimo News Bulletin 3
employees to use them on field trips and other activities. Employees are required to fill out some paperwork to use the cards and an internal audit process ensures that the cards are used appropriately. Phil Turin, secretary-treasurer, said prior to this program the district had a purchasing program with a U.S. bank, but fewer people had cards and many employees made purchases on their personal credit cards and then were reimbursed by the district. With the previous program, the district did not get a rebate, but
the new program with the Bank of Montreal is a government purchasing program that gives out rebates based on the amount the district spends. Last year, the district received more than $54,000 and Turin estimates that by the end of 2013, the district will have received just under $200,000 in rebates for belonging to this new program, he said. The program has also saved the district time as it has reduced the need to process invoices and issue cheques. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com
Delays in the Regional District of Nanaimo’s zoning-approval process may force the owners of a project that’s receiving unprecedented public support to walk away from their Nanoose Bay plans, says the president of the Fairwinds Community Association. “It has been going so slowly, the investors have begun to consider their options,” said Gerry Thompson. “We think it could be going a lot quicker … I think we are at a critical stage.” More than 200 people attended a meeting May 9 in Nanoose Bay to ask questions about the zoning of project, which Fair winds has said would start with a ‘seaside village’ development at Schooner Cove. On October 25, 2011 the RDN board of directors adopted two separate Official Community Plan amendment bylaws to integrate the Lakes District and Schooner Cove Neighbourhood Plans into the Nanoose Bay OCP. The Schooner Cove plan allows for shops, a full-service marina, pedestrian-oriented public open spaces and a maximum of 360 condo units. The Lakes District Neighbourhood Plan includes a maximum of 1,675 single dwelling and multi-dwelling residential units, which represents the remaining balance of the 2,500 dwelling units permitted in the OCP for what the RDN calls the Fairwinds Urban Containment Boundary. Thompson said members of his association are not pleased with the pace at which regional
district staf f have worked on this file. “There has been virtually no closure on major issues regarding the zoning,” he said. “The level of support for this proposal has been unprecedented. The support is solid – it has not deteriorated over time. It’s a popular project.” Thompson said residents are in favour of the development for a number of reasons, including improved access to the waterfront, local shopping opportunities that will reduce the reliance on automobiles and the amount of employment and general economic benefit. Further delays could effectively poison the investment climate (in Nanoose Bay) for decades to come, he said. George Holm, RDN director for Nanoose Bay, said last week he believes the hold-up is with the provincial Ministry of Transportation. Before any zoning can be approved, the ministry must sign off on the developer’s plans to have roads and sidewalks that are more narrow than what’s considered standard, he said. Geoff Garbutt, RDN general manager of strategic and community development, said the application is complicated and time consuming and they are working as effectively as they can. The plan right now is to have the first reading of zoning bylaws in front of the RDN board in November and, if the bylaws pass first and second readings, a public hearing in January, 2014. editor@nanaimobulletin.com

areas, but he’s hoping at least $500,000 of it will be available to help balance the 2014-15 budget. Trustees recently approved the 2013-14 budget in which staff had to find $4.7 million in savings to balance the books – the $2 million mentioned above and a further $2.7 million through cuts to programs and services – and earlier this year, Turin forecasted a shortfall of $7 million for the 2014-15 budget. He said the extra $922,000 in surplus funds is due to more international students than expected; transferring some teaching salaries from the operating budget to a special fund given to districts to address issues with classroom size and composition – the learning improvement fund – as the fund must be spent by the end of the year; more money from the province for a higher number of distance learners than anticipated; and fewer expenditures for teachers-on-call than estimated.

Nanaimo school district could end the year with more money in the bank than expected. B e t w e e n M a rc h and April, estimated surplus funds have grown by more than $900,000 from about $1.78 million to $2.7 million, said Phil Turin, secretary-treasurer, a change he attributes to having more actual expense and revenue numbers to work with, rather than the projections staff start the year off with. “As we get closer to the end of the year, we get to be more finite and exact in our estimations,” he said. “We’re still being conservative, but we’ve only got two months left in the year.” Of the $2 million in savings identified by staff to help balance next year’s budget, $1.5 million is coming out of this $2.7-million surplus. Turin said of the remaining $1.2 million, some will be restricted to spend on certain programs and

Residents help shape park’s future The city wants to hear ideas from the public to help prepare a master plan for the future of Beban Park. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the city’s purchase of the Beban estate in 1953. In six decades the park has undergone numerous changes and continues its evolution. City staff are planning for increasing demand on the park from a growing population over the next 20 years and are looking for input from the public, such as why users visit the park, ways to improve the park and services and what features and services should be maintained. Interviews with park licence holders such the Beban Park Golf
Course and the Vancouver Island Exhibition, user groups and staff will be conducted until early June. Park visitors will also be canvassed through a survey, available online or in hard copy. Two public input sessions are also scheduled at Beban Park Social Centre for June 4, 4-9 p.m. and at Beban’s Altrusa Playground June 8, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. To complete the online survey, please visit the survey website at http://cnan.ca/11Tww5U or visit the City of Nanaimo website at www.nanaimo.ca and enter ‘Beban Park Master Plan’ in the website search box.

Cenotaph campaign begins Inbrief city scene

Kinder Morgan’s proposed twinning of the Trans Mountain oil pipeline through the Lower Mainland looks more likely with the B.C. Liberals staying in power than if the NDP had won last week’s election. NDP leader Adrian Dix had vowed to block a big increase in oil tanker exports from Metro Vancouver. His reversal of a previous pledge to wait for a formal project application became a major campaign issue. Speaking to reporters May 15, Premier Christy Clark stressed the province will put any Kinder Morgan proposal to the same requirements as the planned Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline to Kitimat, including world-leading safeguards against ocean and land spills as well as a substantial share of benefits for B.C.’s risk. “The five conditions aren’t going to change,” Clark said. “Any expansion of heavy oil is going to have to meet those five conditions.” The Trans Mountain pipeline from northern Alberta to Burnaby has operated for more than 50 years but Kinder Morgan wants to nearly triple its flow to 890,000 barrels per day, resulting in more oil tankers plying Vancouver harbour. editor@nanaimobuletin.com
Legionnaires in Lantzville have started the fundraising campaign to finance construction of a permanent cenotaph on public land. The Royal Canadian Legion Seaview Centennial Branch 257 has been working for about a year to get to the point where it can start gathering the $150,000 necessary to build a permanent cenotaph in Huddlestone Park at the corner of Lantzville and Huddlestone roads.

It has ‘Royal Canadian Legion’ engraved on the concrete and it’s on private property. “ We l l , t w o o r three generations down the road who knows if the legion is going to be there, if the legion has to go somewhere or
change its location.” McEwan said about 2,000 people turn out every Remembrance Day to honour the sacrifices made in wars fought by Canadians and legion members believe that legacy should continue forever. The branch is calling upon businesses, ser vice organizations, social agencies, sports clubs,
schools and the general public to help host fundraising events and activities to build the new cenotaph. The land at Huddlestone Park was donated by the District of Lantzville. For more information or to donate to the project, please call McEwan at 250751-2775. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

how Nanaimo can become a stronger, more diverse and vibrant community by rising to the challenge of reconciliation is the theme of an interactive evening at the Vancouver island Conference Centre May 29. everyone is welcome to attend the dialogue, co-hosted by Vancouver island university in partnership with snuneymuxw First Nation and the City of Nanaimo. The public forum is the first in a series of dialogue sessions that will address the theme of reconciliation – one of the key outcomes from a community meeting held at Viu last month. The event begins with brief presentations from members of First Nations communities, followed by an open dialogue so that people can share their ideas on how the community can work together to build a stronger society. The ideas will be used to plan more activities that will run throughout the year. For more information or to share your ideas, please visit www.viu.ca/ nanaimoreconciliation or e-mail universityRelations@ viu.ca.

Nanaimo News Bulletin 7
LEFT: Circle time in Marcy Boudreau’s Grade 1 classroom at Uplands Park Elementary School involves stools, pieces of carpet, squeeze balls, Silly Putty and chewing sticks. Every morning, Boudreau asks students whether they feel they are ready to learn for the day and what they need to help them focus on learning. The class is piloting self-regulated learning – teaching students how to regulate their behaviour so they can focus on learning. BELOW: Jayden Robinson, a Grade 1 student at Uplands Park Elementary School, works on a lesson at a standing desk. The standing desk and the coffee stir stick he is chewing on are two common tools used in the self-regulated learning method to help students focus on lessons.
Students engage through movement u From /1 All of the children, including the student in the teepee, are listening and engaging with Boudreau. In January, Boudreau decided to open up her class and try out this new method of teaching, called selfregulated learning, after visiting a demonstration classroom at Seaview Elementary School in Lantzville. Self-regulated learning is about teaching students how to learn and acknowledging that each brain is different, each student learns differently, said Brenda Whittam-Neary, a speech and language pathologist Nanaimo school district has contracted with to set up a demonstration classroom and teach educators about the learning method. “The concept of self-regulated learning is to get children into a calm, alert and focused state so they can manage their behaviour and so they can learn,” she said. “Your end goal is to create independent learners.” Boudreau admits she was skeptical when she first agreed to pilot the method in her own classroom – when she walked into the demonstration classroom, she questioned WhittamNeary about funding and why they were simply being shown a demonstration classroom with no children in it. “For me, I see it, then I believe it,” she said. Boudreau thought at first that she would be disproving the model, but as they went along, her mind began
“
We really hope as people learn about it, they will be interested in trying the strategies.
to change – in the past, Boudreau worked so hard just to get her class to pay attention and by the end of carpet time, she was already stressed out and tired. “I think I was running higher,” she said. “I felt like I wasn’t doing enough. Now I’m not as tired at the end of the day.” The effect on her struggling students has been huge – their extra energy is not affecting others like it used to because they are directing that energy at the squeeze balls or stir sticks instead of acting out and they are able to engage in the lessons. Gone are the days where kids are expected to sit still, hands in their laps, listening to the teacher, added Whittam-Neary. “The old myth of sitting still to learn is no longer supported in the research,” she said. “There’s a lot of kids who need a lot of movement.
When we get kids up and moving is when you get engagement. And you cannot have learning without engagement.” Boudreau said the most important thing is she didn’t feel judged when Whittam-Neary walked into her classroom – she felt like what was already going on in her classroom was respected. “I really want people to see this as a supportive opportunity,” she said. Whittam-Neary said teachers in most schools have been to her demonstration classroom and she has also been out to many schools so educators can learn more about the method. She is seeking community donations of exercise equipment such as bikes and bosu balls. To donate, please call the district office at 250-754-5521 or e-mail her at brenda.whittamneary@gmail.com. Donna Reimer, school district spokeswoman, said some money is available to help teachers obtain equipment for self-regulation. The district received about $20 per student through this supplement this year. Superintendent Dave Hutchinson said the district’s intent is to encourage teachers to investigate the selfregulated learning approach. “We hope as more people learn about it, they will be interested in trying out some of the strategies in their classrooms,” he said. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

EDITORIAL
Rising costs burden families With food, transportation and housing costs rising, sticking to the family budget is become increasingly more difficult in B.C. According to the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, it takes two parents earning $19.62 an hour – each – to support a family of four. The annual recalculation of the so-called “living wage” found the hourly rate necessary to cover rent, child care, food and transportation (after government taxes and levies) jumped 48 cents from $19.14 last year – that’s the equivalent of 2.5 per cent, or nearly double the rate of inflation. We all know that housing costs are to blame for some of this burden, but the CCPA study found that rising child care costs, food prices and a four per cent jump in Medical Services Plan premiums were also to blame. The problem is, many working parents don’t even make that “living wage.” How are families coping? Studies have shown there are increasing numbers of families in “core need,” meaning that their housing costs are so high and their incomes so low that they are at constant risk of homelessness. More people are also using the food bank. Other families, whose wages are more in keeping with the limit suggested by CCPA, are making some difficult choices to stretch their dollars. They have given up on the idea of a second car, for example, or the dream of an at-home parent and are turning to creative housing choices. More and more families are living in condominiums and basement suites, and those who can afford to own a single-family home are renting out the basement. Meanwhile, per capita debt, although stabilizing, is still high, suggesting that the Canadian dream, while not dead, is becoming increasingly expensive to maintain.

tory of Philippe, or if his condition was preventable if treated at an earlier age, but I do know that for some children with autism, early treatment can make a difference. The Telford case is particularly acute, but it is reflective of many cases of parents across Canada in the same situation. Frank Viti, president and CEO of Autism Speaks Canada, a privately funded advocacy group, said in response to Telford’s case they are not alone. “There are thousands of parents of children with special needs who are exasperated, they’re finished, they’re done,” he told CBC, adding there are many costs involved in the case of autistic children and that therapy can run around $60,000 a year. Autism is estimated to affect one in 88 people, but that doesn’t include family members who must care for them. If treatment in some cases is proven to work, and can reduce family stress while, as David put it, creating a good tax-paying citizen, then the investment in helping these children and their families is worth it. In B.C., government support is, at best, weak. Already overwhelmed parents are forced to seek pockets of financial aid and run a therapy team on their own. It’s time these families got some help, before more parents have to make the same difficult decision the Telfords did. reporter2@nanaimobulletin.com

Nanaimo News Bulletin 9
Swy-a-lana’s lack of beauty worth a pretty penny To the Editor,
Re: Swy-a-lana needs infusion of cash, Letters, May 25. I am not sure what Eleanor Miller’s story is about. The Swy-a-lana Lagoon, along with Maffeo Sutton Park, is completely manmade. It sits on top of an old industrial site that was once a lumber mill. By today’s standards the park development is what the global warming experts would expect to see in reference to building carbon neutrality or carbon sinks. The electrical power that runs the water pumps in the lagoon could be, and should be, offset because it is the cost of creating a carbon sink. The reservoirs and waterfalls around the lagoon may not be esthetically pleasing, but they are examples of algae promotion. Visitors may look in disgust at the appearance, but this is a form of ignorance and perhaps signage and explanations of the science should be posted. Many people are unaware the dumping and scattering of iron sulphate is, or has already been done, in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of B.C. The scattering of fertilizer is supposed to promote plankton blooming to provide a larger base for the food chain. This apparently will grow the salmon fishery and create a carbon sink, which the developers hope to sell as credits

While not esthetically pleasing, the algae-filled waterfalls pouring into Swy-a-lana Lagoon are not only good for the environment, but could be profitable if used to build carbon offsets, says letter writer.
on the carbon trading market. And here we have another example of how Nanaimo is not getting similar kickbacks to offset locally collected taxes to promote our own carbon sink. The Swy-a-lana reservoirs generate algae and the waterfalls effectively oxygenate the inner lagoon. The costs of maintaining this carbon sink project should be claimed by Nanaimo, similar to those developers who dump iron sulphate in our ocean. Simply put, we want our share of taxes back from the feds.

Pipeline will benefit all Canadian families To the Editor,

provincial and local components, all of which contribute to our well-being and standard of living. This pipeline will benefit everyone in Canada. Think of the thousands of families who stand to benefit. Steelworkers, coatings manufacturers, machinists, welders, carpenters, caterers, pump manufacturers, electricians, heavy equipment operators, surveyors, cleaning contractors, safety inspectors, vehicle and equipment retailers, modular housing companies and scores of other businesses will all be kept busy while their employees and families receive paycheques and pay taxes. Fidler apparently
dislikes profit as well, though it underpins the pension income of many Canadians. He insists that renewable energy is the wave of the future and indeed some day it may well be. But, the Achilles heel of renewable energy is that it must be available in vast quantities, on demand. Until we can store large amounts of pure electrical energy, renewables will remain costly and unreliable. While no one can preclude an oil spill into infinity, decades of quantifiable benefits certainly outweigh the small but not negligible risk of transporting Canadian crude oil to overseas markets.
As a voter in the latest B.C. election, I feel insulted by the comments of Leonard Krog, Ian Gartshore, Bryce Crigger, David Coupland and Doug Routley regarding the decisions made by all of us. All of them had the chance to put forward the ideas of their party. All of them had the chance to meet with the voters in the constituencies. And all blamed the voters for making the wrong choice. Contrast that to the reaction of defeated Liberal candidates, who did not have anything negative to say about the voters in their riding. When your wallet is going to be affected, you vote for the best solution to keep it as full as you can.

Online bills prone to computer failure
Colourful broom pleasing to the eye
To the Editor,
Re: Property taxes now paper-free, May 14. I absolutely hate online and ‘paperless’ bills. I like hard copies that I can see and hold in my hand and are not subject to being lost or disappearing when a computer has problems.
To the Editor,
Re: Broom’s strengths could be beneficial, Letters, May 14. In reply to Matt James’s letter on Scotch broom’s strengths, I would reply that broom is to our advantage in its colour and its deterrent from the endless, boring lengths of trees that line the highways of this area. It is a pleasure to see the yellow bloom. It does no harm and may it multiply to deter from the monotony of the same trees, mile after mile after mile.

Black Track Tour examines Nanaimo’s mining history

Inner beauty Young Nanaimo actors present a tale as old as time and a journey down the rabbit hole to Wonderland BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN
B
elle sees past Beast’s teeth and claws to the inner beauty beneath his exterior. Beauty and the Beast is a tale about seeking the real person and seeing them for who they are despite appearances. “It really teaches a good lesson for kids not to judge people,” said Kali Foster, 11, who plays Belle in the Headliners School of Performing Arts and Red Room Studio production of Beauty and the Beast. Foster said playing the character made her come to her own realizations. “I had a lot of trouble with bullies and I’ve felt people have been judging me. I’ve always felt like sometimes people judged me because of the way I looked,” said Foster. “This character has helped me realize it doesn’t matter how you look.” Foster’s co-actor Charles Hartnell, 10, who plays Beast, said he also learned a lot from playing the character. He said Beast is both a villain and a hero and it represents the fact that people aren’t perfect. He said people also need to learn how to be happy with who they are. Even though the show has a deeper meaning Hartnell said it’s also a lot of fun with great musical performances and leaves people with a really good feeling. He said the part of the play where Belle and Beast realize they love each other is touching. “There is a warm fuzzy feeling,” he said. Hartnell loves acting and this is his fourth production with Headliners.

“It’s a mixture of arts, sports and creativity and it’s all from the heart,” he said. The production has almost 30 actors, ranging in ages from six to 11 years old, and is directed by Kristin Robinson. It shows at Malaspina Theatre Saturday and Sunday (May 24-25). Red Room and Headliners are also presenting Alice in Wonderland, with actors ranging in ages from 12-16 years old, at the theatre Friday and Saturday (May 24-25). The Alice in Wonderland production has more than 30 actors and is based on the Broadway version that combines Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. Audience members will enter a bizarre world with interesting characters. Headliners and Red Room are creating the fantastical world of Wonderland with the help of prosthetics, created by Max Dowie, and elaborate costumes. “What’s going to draw people down the rabbit hole for this play for sure is the eccentric costumes,” said Manda Chelmak, Headliners program director. “The costumes are really going to make the audience go ‘wow’.” Beauty and the Beast runs Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. and Alice in Wonderland runs Friday at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday at 2 p.m. The productions feature a special performance by the Rock-It Choir. Tickets are $10 in advance from Harbour City Music, Headliners School of Performing Arts, by calling 250585-1811 or $12 at the door. For more information please go to www.headliners.ca.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, life might get stressful really soon unless you curb your spending. Although you may feel like you’re made of money right now, eventually the well will dry up. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Making changes is seldom easy, but change is necessary this week, Taurus. You may need to analyze which areas of your life can use the most work.
Scorpio
Gemini
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, kick back and have some fun in the next few days. Otherwise, you may waste an opportunity to recharge your batteries. Work responsibilities will not wait for long.
Cancer
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, expect some rejuvenated ambition and energy. Spurred on by this newfound energy, you can successfully tackle many of the things on your to-do list.
Leo
Virgo
Libra
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, unless you can focus you will just be puttering around without a goal. Put your mind on one thing and stick with this line of thinking for a few days.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, if you want someone to take you seriously you have to make up your mind. Don’t flip-flop on your ideals this week or you may come across as a pushover.

Sagittarius
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 If practice makes perfect, then you have just about reached perfection, Sagittarius. You have been over and over something from every angle. It is now or never.
Capricorn
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, there are many things you will not be able to change about this week, so why focus on the negativity? Instead, work around any issues and get the job done anyway.
Aquarius
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 You often seem immune to the seriousness of certain situations, Aquarius. This week is no different. Try to recognize the gravity of a certain situation and put your best foot forward.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, once you set your mind to something, it can be difficult to alter your opinions or perceptions. You may need to be a bit more flexible with a loved one this week.

MERCER(nee HANCOCK), Mabel Irene Dec. 19, 19 16 — May 15, 2013
It is with great sadness that the family of Mabel Mercer announces her passing, at the age of 96. Born and raised in Nanaimo, Mabel is predeceased by her husband of 50 years, John, and siblings Rose Goldsby, Tom Hancock and Mary Weston. She is survived by her daughters Eileen (Ian) Mitchell and Barbara (Thomas) Cleugh; grandchildren Brad Mitchell and Allison Mitchell, Janis (Harry) Warren and Heather (Jeff) Cox; and great-grandchildren Alisa, Jenelle, Julianne and Fraser. Mabel was a life member of the Order of the Eastern Star (Crescent chapter #10) in Nanaimo and she enjoyed gardening and sharing her fruits, vegetables and flowers with everyone. Her garden was the pride of the neighbourhood. At 83, Mabel moved from Nanaimo to Coquitlam to be with her family. She was an example of strength and dignity, and always had a smile and twinkle in her eye. We are blessed to have had Mom/Nana in our lives for so long. The family wishes to thank the staff at the Belvedere Care Home in Coquitlam, where she resided for three years.

ANDREYCHUK, Laurena Marie May 13, 1962 – May 01 , 2013 It is with heavy hearts we are forced to share our Family’s loss. Laurena Marie (Laurie) passed away peacefully with her parents at her side. Laurie will always be remembered by her daughter Brittaney, parents Bill and Sheila, brothers Bill and Ron, sister Coleen and their extended families, friends and co-workers.

Joyce was born in Guelph, Ontario to Maud and Stanley Schofield. She lived in B.C., the Yukon, and P.E.I. before settling on Vancouver Island, where she met, fell in love with and married James McGee in May of 1961. A woman of wisdom, grace and inner beauty, Who stayed in touch with the world as we know it today. We mourn our loss, we bless her peace, and honour her values and beliefs. She survived many challenges, persevering, looking for that brighter day. Believing it was always around the corner, on its way, This I know is what she would say... “Laugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone. For the sad, old earth must borrow its mirth, But has trouble enough of its own.� “We love you and miss you Mom. Your amazing spirit will be with us for ever and always.� Predeceased by her daughter, Sherry; brother, Red; and sister, Nancy.

We wish to extend our gratitude to the N.R.G.H. Palliative Care Nurses, Doctors, Dr. Mann and to the V.I.H.A. Community Services Network and Staffing, for their incredible compassion and caring of our mother in her final days. Thank you to all, we are grateful. A Celebraiton of Life will take place on Sunday, June 9th at 2p.m. In the Departure Bay Baptist Church, located at 3510 Departure Bay Road. Please do not send flowers. If so desired, a donation may be made to the Cancer Society on Joyce’s behalf.

routine. They’ve just got to keep it together.” The competition will be tough. There are only four teams in the Level 4 division, but all of them are from out-of-province, so they haven’t just entered the meet on a whim. Sarah Warsh, one of the members of the Level 4 team, said she and her teammates want to do well because they’re representing their club and their city.
Athletes enjoy long weekend
Most everyone enjoys long weekends, but sports editors don’t like long weekends one bit. Early press deadlines due to the Victoria Day long weekend mean that sports scores from the last few days were not available at press time. The Nanaimo Coastal Windows Timbermen senior A lacrosse team played its season opener on Friday and then its home opener on Sunday. Please visit www.nanaimobulletin. com/sports for a recap of Sunday’s game. Also in action were the junior A Timbermen and the Nanaimo Pirates; pick up Thursday’s print issue for more on those teams.

If you don’t want it, then you won’t get it.
“We’re really excited and we’re performing really strong because we want to go out there with a bang,” she said. Warsh said last week that the Diamonds felt prepared, but would continue to work hard over their last few practices. “We need to keep pushing ourselves and always be performing how we would for a competition and really visualizing and really wanting it,” she said. “Because if you don’t want it, then you won’t get it.” IN SYNCH … The Diamonds will host a water show June 16 at 4:30 p.m. at Beban Pool. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

There are probably a lot of local youth soccer teams that would be worthy winners as Team of the Week. The BMO Team of the Week contest recognizes minor soccer teams in the 7-12-year-old age groups, and the contest is short on entries from B.C. teams. Teams have a chance to win the grand prize of $125,000 to refurbish local fields. The Gabriola Wolves won one of the weekly awards in 2011.

“And then [we] pretty much ran out of gas,” said Maughan. “We had nothing left in the third period.” The Acme T-men had the long weekend off and should be refreshed. “We’ll look forward to kind of getting back on track a little bit,” said the coach. “And hopefully emphasize at next practice how important it is [to have a full roster]. We know how capable we are. When we go over with 13, a couple more guys could have made the difference. Because we pretty much held our own, but with 13 runners, you’re fighting an uphill battle.” GAME ON … The T-men host the Port Moody Thunder Saturday (May 25) at 6:30 p.m. at the Nanaimo Ice Centre … Walters wasn’t suspended after his triple game-misconduct in a game earlier this month because the WCSLA has a threshold of five game misconducts before it hands down a suspension.
SENIOR B lacrosse club tries to bounce back from first loss.
The Nanaimo Acme Painting Timbermen might have had a chance against the rival Ladner Pioneers, but they ran out of steam. The city’s West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association squad lost 9-4 to the Ladner Pioneers on Thursday in Delta. Midweek games always make it tough for the T-men to gather a full roster, and they had only 13 runners for the game. “Which is tough, especially going into a place like Ladner,” said Mike Maughan, the team’s coach. “But the guys that were there, my hat’s off to them, they battled unbelievably well.” With an undermanned roster, the Timbermen buckled down defensively and
