Nanaimo police seek public’s help tracking down missing teen Police are still looking for 15-yearold Katrina Noelle Ladouceur, last seen in Nanaimo May 29. Since Ladouceur disappeared, there have been numerous sightings throughout Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley. Each has been investigated, but have not added insight to her whereabouts, said Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman, in a news release. The most recent information placed

Ladouceur in either Kamloops or Vancouver with a 27-year-old man named Kody Allen. They might be tenting or sleeping in shelters, O’Brien said, adding that Ladouceur sings and Allen often carries a guitar, so they might be busking to support themselves. Neither Ladouceur nor Allen have contacted their families. Ladouceur is 5-foot-7, 125 pounds. She has shoulder-length, reddish-brown hair and often wears

hiking boots and a blue tuque. Allen is 5-foot-11, 135 pounds with black hair and might have a black guitar case with him. “Our investigators have been working closely with B.C. Missing Persons, her family and friends but to date we are not any closer to bringing her home,” O’Brien said. Anyone with information about the location of Ladouceur or Allen, please call Nanaimo RCMP at 250754-2345 or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www. nanaimocrimestoppers.com.

Elected official Bill McKay is the biggest spender on Nanaimo city council, financial reports reveal. The City of Nanaimo has released its 2013 Statement of Financial Information, which details remuneration and expenses for elected officials and top-salaried employees. It shows that more than $57,000 was spent by Nanaimo city council last year with McKay leading the pack with $14,972 in expenses. Since the 2011 election, expenses of the firstterm politician have climbed to $22,509, making him the highest-spending elected official on council. Mayor John Ruttan is the second-highest spender with $22,499 logged since late 2011 and $11,705 spent last year. Coun. Diana Johnstone followed the mayor for highest expenses in 2013 with $6,368, but first-term councillor George Anderson has spent $13,481 since the civic election, making him the third-highest spender overall. According to McKay, the majority of his expenses are tied to conferences. In 2013, he took 10 trips, including eight conferences that ranged in topics from housing to waste management. Political office is a steep learning curve, “so I wanted to do whatever I could to learn,” he said, adding his objective has been to figure out how to create a more efficient government. McKay, who often advocates for reduced city spending, does not see the expense as hypocritical. “Mine is 25 per cent of the entire council [expenses] this year, but I have been to more places, met more people and learned more things about other communities than anyone else on council,” he said.

Researchers asking for public’s help to collect data on bats

search on for purse snatcher

A purse snatcher threatened to burn a woman’s face if she didn’t hand over her purse on the weekend. The victim, 70, was walking out of Bowen Park near the Bowen Road-Buttertubs Drive intersection with a friend shortly after 1:30 p.m. Saturday when a man, carrying a red cylinder, ran up from behind them, threatened to burn the woman’s face, grabbed her purse off her shoulder and fled. The suspect was last seen running into an apartment building parking lot at 999 Bowen Rd. Police searched the area and called police dog services, but the dog was unable to track the suspect or the woman’s stolen purse, which contained a small amount of cash and credit cards. “The red cylinder was possibly a fire extinguisher,” said Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman. O’Brien said the woman has cancelled her credit cards, but also lost her cellphone, keys, phone book and other personal items. The suspect is Caucasian in his early 20s with a muscular build and short, brown hair. He was wearing a T-shirt and shorts with one red leg and one green leg. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345 or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www. nanaimocrimestoppers.com.

you know, they always say, ‘Well, the cupboard’s bare,’ and no one asks the next question, ‘Who took all the stuff out of the cupboards?’” As for the continuing strike, Sinclair blamed the inability to come to a new labour agreement on what he said was the government’s unwillingness to properly fund the education system. “What’s wrong is that the B.C. government just needs to come to the table with the resources needed to fix the problem,” Sinclair said. He said the majority of B.C. is on the side of educators and that teachers have to stick together and make sure the public comes along with them. The teachers’ union announced Wednesday that the strike would continue throughout the summer if a deal is not reached by Monday (June 30), potentially affecting summer school. Nanaimo school district doesn’t have summer school, but spokeswoman Donna Reimer said they would watch any applications to the Labour Relations Board to see if distance learning and the Learn at Home programs are affected.

Researchers are relying on the public to help get a handle on Vancouver Island’s bat populations and roosting sites. Information about the animals is being gathered to form a data baseline ahead of white fungus syndrome appearing on Vancouver Island, which is expected within 10 years. White fungus syndrome is a disease which, in Eastern Canada, has brought the most common species, the little brown bat, to the brink of extinction. The Bat Community Programs of B.C. has started Got Bats?, a provincewide bat count done in partnership with the Environment Ministry and Victoria-based Habitat Acquisition Trust. B.C. is home to more bat varieties than any Canadian province. Of Canada’s 19 species, 16 live in B.C. and 11 of those live on the Island. “What they’re trying to do is identify roost sites for these species-at-risk, especially,” said Trudy Chatwin, Nanaimo-based species-at-risk biologist. “About half of the 16 species found in B.C. are at risk of extinction, threatened or sensitive in some regard, so we’re trying to … engage people in doing the baseline count now, because we don’t have white nose syndrome now.” Little is known about white nose syndrome, where it originated or how it kills bats. “We need to know where these colonies are and how many bats are in them,” said Adam Taylor, executive director of the Habitat Acquisition Trust. What makes bat populations so vulnerable is that, unlike rodents, bats don’t produce big litters. “They’re not even closely related to rodents,” Taylor said. “A little brown bat will have a life span of 20 to 30 years and it will only have one baby a year, so this is a big problem when we evict bat colonies.” A low reproduction rate means a colony, damaged by disease or habitat loss, could take many years to recover. Bats benefit agriculture because of their voracious appetite for insects. One little brown bat will catch and consume about 1,000 mosquitoes per hour. “The amount of economic benefit bats provide to agriculture in North America is between $7 billion and $50 billion per year, so we lose bats and a lot of our agricultural areas are going to use a lot more pesticides,” Taylor said. “Not only does that cost money, but that has health and environmental impacts as well.” Please visit http://hat.bc.ca.

Approximately 1,000 striking teachers and supporters marched through downtown Nanaimo to a rally in Maffeo Sutton Park Monday.

Teacher rally draws supporters

StrikE lAgS oN as both sides fail to agree on terms. By Chris Bush The News bulleTiN

A rally in Nanaimo Monday drew nearly 1,000 striking teachers and supporters who marched through downtown streets, then gathered at Maffeo Sutton Park to hear speeches from labour leaders and government opposition members Monday. About 500 marchers formed up at Bowen Park at 4 p.m., but the crowd nearly doubled in size as late arrivals from across the Island joined the procession, lead by bagpipers, that wound its way through town and arrived at Maffeo Sutton Park shortly before 5 p.m. The rally is one of a series being staged in major communities across the province this week. Speakers reiterated teachers’ long-standing grievances with government and slammed government budget decision-making. Jim Iker, B.C. Teachers Federation president, said since 2002, students have

had larger classes and less access to specialist teachers, such as counsellors, learning assistance teachers, teacher librarians, resource teachers and special education teachers, which he said are critical to supporting students and the education system. “It’s because of the unconstitutional actions, lead by the education minister back then, 12 years ago, that a generation of our B.C. students have been short changed,” Iker said. “Children who were five-years-old back in 2002 and were in kindergarten are now 17 and 18 and are graduating.” Iker said B.C. spends $1,000 per student less than the national average and that it is time the B.C. government recognizes funding education as an investment toward a strong future economy. Jim Sinclair, president of the B.C. Federation of Labour, criticized government for giving tax breaks to corporations and for not properly funding education and other services. “As soon they talk about the what human needs are out there, with children and with seniors and others, we hear there’s no money. It’s all gone,” Sinclair said. “And,

Expenses claimed for events, conferences

ALMANAC

“I believe what I’ve learned by these experiences ... is going to benefit the community greatly in the future,” McKay said. About 73 per cent of McKay’s total spending was on conferences in B.C. and Canada, including $2,187 for Calgary’s Western Sponsorship Conference and $2,432 for the Union of B.C. Municipalities conference in Vancouver. Another $2,700 was spent on legal fees to look at potential conflicts of interest, he reports. Ruttan, who had the second-highest expenses, said he attends a number

of events council members do not and is involved in a mayors’ task force that

sees him travel to other B.C. communities. Expense reports from 2013, show he took eight trips, including to Montreal to accept a bronze award from the Institute of Public Administration of Canada on behalf of Nanaimo. The trip cost him $1,350. He also spent $1,324 to attend a mayors’ caucus in Prince George and $4,508 for two municipal government conferences in Vancouver. According to Ruttan, there is no limit for the number of expenses a council member can charge. It’s at their discretion whether they attend events or conferences.

“You have two choices, not to go, or go,” he said of event invitations. “Each councillor has to be responsible for the expenses they make and somehow be able to justify it.” The highest spenders among city employees included: Kirsty MacDonald, parks and open spaces planner with expenses of $15,527; Guillermo Ferrero, director of information technology and legislative services at $12,774; and firefighter Tim Doyle at $12,354.

Joanne Young will host the 12th vigil for her daughter, who disappeared June 30, 2002. Lisa Marie Young was 19 when she disappeared after leaving a house party. No trace of the young woman has ever been found, but every year since, her mother has held an annual walk and candlelight vigil to keep her memory – and the hope for an answer to her disappearance – alive. Prior to Lisa Marie’s disappearance, Joanne Young said she trusted her daughter would be safe in a small town. “Her dad said years ago, when she was a little girl, that she would ask, ‘Are there monsters underneath my bed?’ and he said, ‘Oh, no. There’s n o t h i n g , ’ ” Yo u n g said. “Years later, who would expect a monster would, you know?” This year’s walk and vigil, Remembering Lisa Marie, happens Saturday (June 28) at the Lions Pavilion in Maffeo Sutton Park from noon until 3 p.m. The walk traces a route over Pearson Bridge on Terminal Avenue and returns along the waterfront to Maffeo Sutton Park where a candlelight vigil with music by local singers will be held. The event finishes with a barbecued salmon lunch. “One day we’d like to get closure,” Joanne said. “I mean, we always have that hope, right?” photos@nanaimobulletin.com

Child care compensation examined

rEgioNal diStrict director hopes to attract young politicians to the board table. By Karl yu The News BulleTiN

A Regional District of Nanaimo director is hoping to see younger colleagues sitting at the board table following next year’s municipal election. In order to entice younger people to run in the November election, Area H director Bill Veenhof proposed a motion at last month’s regional district board meeting that will see the district’s remuneration review committee examine child care compensation. “Fundamentally, when you look around the board room, that really at

the end of the day, to run for office, you’ve got to either be retired and on a decent pension or have [disposable income], so … that skews the demography of who can think about running for office,” Veenhof said. A young woman or man with a family on the board would bring a powerful and useful perspective, said Veenhof, who also proposed a motion to examine director compensation for all reasonable expenses. “For instance, if you were an elected official and you had a significant other that needed medical care when you were

involved in your political duties, that would be a reasonable expense in my mind,” he said. Regional district board directors are compensated with an annual salary of $18,440. Child care compensation and salaries would be among items the remuneration committee would examine and Veenhof expects the committee will have recommendations for the board by September. The expectation is to have something in place before the November municipal election, in time for younger people to consider running. “Given the composition of the board today, it wouldn’t cost the taxpayer a penny. But like I say, I think the taxpayer would be well

Number of top earners increases at city hall

Volunteers needed to plan celebration Seeking to hold a 100-year anniversary celebration for the former Harewood School, the Harewood Neighbourhood Association is searching for volunteers. According to secretary Carolyn Iles, the association is looking for people to assist with planning an afternoon meet-and-greet event in the school gym, hopefully sometime in early September. More people are needed because the association has a small membership. “We’re asking if there are some people in the community that would be willing to put in a little time to help us develop a celebration of this very historical school in our community,” said Iles. Volunteers would be needed to help organize the event and once that is established, help set up for the event. Illes said the association knows there are people out there that went to the school and they may enjoy meeting with some of their old classmates, who they may not have seen for years. People with an interest in history might see this as an opportunity as well. The school opened in September 1914, consisting of five classrooms. People with school memorabilia are also asked to lend it for the celebration. “We’d love to have an opportunity to have people bring in some records, or report cards or if they have any kinds of mementos from the school,” Iles said. She added that the Nanaimo District Teachers’ Association has a historical group and may be able to donate artifacts like the old (punishment) strap for display at the event, should they be needed. Anyone interested in volunteering is asked to contact Iles at kiles@island. net, Heather Campbell, association president, 250-618-7911 or Peggy Lake, vice-president, at 250-741-1067.

All faiths permitted in civic facilities People of all faiths are allowed to use civic facilities, the mayor reaffirmed this week. Mayor John Ruttan made a public statement at Monday’s council meeting that people of all faiths are guaranteed fundamental freedoms under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Human Rights Code of B.C. and are entitled to use city-owned and controlled facilities. No changes have been made to a motion that advised the conference centre not to permit events associated with people or organizations that promote or have a history of divisiveness, homophobia or other expressions of hate. Ruttan said other opportunities will be looked at to assure the public that Nanaimo is an inclusive city.

More than a dozen Nanaimo city employees were added to the municipality’s roster of topearners last year. The city’s 2013 annual Statement of Financial Information shows that 213 city employees made more than $75,000 in 2013, up from 198 in 2012. It cost the city $21.6 million in remuneration. According to the report, the city lost five members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees from its list of topsalaried employees, but added 20 managers and members of the International Association of Fire Fighters, accounting for the increase. According to the report, a new contract settlement saw IAFF members get retroactive salary payments which led to the new additions. Overall, protective services dominated the 2013 roster, accounting for approximately 46 per cent of the highest-paid employees and about $10.2 million in salaries. Eighty-six IAFF members made the list and 44 had remuneration higher than $100,000. City manager Ted Swabey said the city doesn’t have the power to negotiate salaries, which are set through arbitration. The cost has become a challenge for all communities, he added. “I think it’s going to get to the point where the system needs to be evaluated in a different

Let SPCA build its own shelter

Nanaimo has a lot of four-legged friends and those friendships are important. But the SPCA might be barking up the wrong tree with its recent request for taxpayer dollars. The Nanaimo branch of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals sent a letter to city council this month asking for $150,000-$200,000 over the next three years to ease its transition as it moves from city-owned land on Labieux Road to its own property on Westwood Road. The SPCA has been paying $1 a year for its current site, but was advised two years ago of the city’s wish to terminate the lease and effect a move. The SPCA has owned 4.8 hectares on Westwood Road for eight years, but hasn’t built on the land because other communities around the province had more pressing animal shelter issues. Apparently, Nanaimo is now at the top of the B.C. SPCA’s list for a new facility. The SPCA should be able to build its new shelter without taxpayer dollars. First of all, the City of Nanaimo already contributes to the society’s spay-and-neuter program. Many Nanaimo residents also make significant charitable contributions to the local SPCA branch, so asking for taxpayer dollars on top of that is sort of like double billing. We would note, too, that the municipality owns a separate, publicly funded pound on Nanaimo Lakes Road, where we get some say in setting our own animal-control priorities. The SPCA has the know-how to handle fundraising campaigns and it has cute little puppy dogs that make irresistible pitchmen. Let’s leave it up to the area’s animal advocates to try to fundraise their new shelter on their own, first. If they can’t, and it creates a gap in animal control, then perhaps the city can step in and try to avert a crisis. Cute little puppy dogs making puppy dog eyes works on a lot of people. Let those people write the cheques. The Nanaimo News Bulletin is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

That works out to $42.32 an hour, plus a suite of benefits that most private sector employees can only dream about, starting with three months of prime-time vacation. I am occasionally lectured by teachers that the job goes far beyond five hours in the classroom and an additional four hours a day preparing and marking. They throw out different estimates, variously defined. Alas, it’s a salaried job, and we salaried employees in the real world don’t waste a lot of time counting hours. Here’s the work, here’s the deadline, here’s the pay. Take it or leave it. Consider another union demand that seems to be just another thinly disguised raise. The BCTF wants a large increase in preparation time for elementary school. There are no duties being added here. For this one item, government negotiators calculate the cost to taxpayers at $86.2 million every year by the fifth year of the BCTF proposal. u Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Nanaimo should board the train To the Editor,

Re: Train attraction proposed to lure cruise tourists, June 19. When I read the new Master Transportation Plan for the next 25 years as presented to the city council in May, I was amazed that there was no mention of one mode of transportation that runs through our city – our train tracks. Train transportation is the least polluting of all the suggestions and it is able to move people faster than bikes and buses. To my surprise, there are learned men who see and know our rail line has

great possibilities and are ready to put their plans in place. Southern Railway of Vancouver Island has given me faith again that there are farsighted people here in Nanaimo who see the great future for our rail line.

Helen Hunter Nanaimo

To the Editor,

Re: Train attraction proposed to lure cruise tourists, June 19. Although I admire Southern Railway’s enthusiasm, I do have a few questions, the most obvious is what will the train crews be doing between cruise ship arrivals (two so far this year), and will they be given paycheques whilst awaiting the next boatload of potential train riders to arrive? It would seem a bit unprofitable to spend time awaiting potential customers who may or may not arrive while paying all the expenses of a business. Personally

I would like to see some concrete plans and a method of funding before I become excited and optimistic. The Nanaimo Port Authority seems to think it will get the port noticed. Considering the cobwebs on the cruise ship dock I have some reservations in that area. With all the unnecessary expenses our local government has put us through the last few years I sincerely hope they don’t jump into this one with both feet. They may think I have deep pockets but I beg to differ.

Teachers had better remember who’s paying them To the Editor,

Predictably, when B.C. teachers go on strike, the endless bemoaning of the strikers as well as their shallow rhetoric never fails to surprise me. If it’s not about ‘respect’ (who dreamed that one up?) it’s about ‘the kids.’

I’ve got news for teachers – the public sees through your phony complaints. It’s only about more money and fatter pensions. Yes, sometimes the truth stings a little. It would bode well for the striking employees of the B.C. education system to remember who pays their

salaries and allows them to enjoy prolonged vacation whilst the rest of are working in order that they may do so. Not one ounce of sympathy nor support from this Nanaimo taxpayer.

Salary requests out of line for B.C. taxpayers Re: Premier’s stance on teachers’ strike doesn’t put families first, Letters, June 24. It is time to face the facts and reality of what is happening in the rest of Canada. Governments in B.C., Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island are negotiating with teachers. Teacher contracts are a hard sell in all 10 provinces. B.C. teachers want a wage increase of eight per cent over a five-year contract, with a $5,000 signing bonus. Not good enough for the B.C. taxpayer. The average B.C. teacher wage is $70,624 – very generous when they only have to work 188 days per year in relation to other taxpayers that have to work 238 days per year. Completely outrageous wage demands in comparison to what teachers have negotiated in other provinces.

different approach to retail that evolved from his distaste for gimmicks, particle board and sales, which customers won’t find any of in his store. “People know that we’re not going to take advantage of them and that we’re there to help if they need us,” Rogers said. “Just give people a decent product at a decent price and treat them fair. It’s not rocket science.” John’s Bedroom Barn is hosting its 25th anniversary celebration throughout the day with hotdogs and cake, plus the store will give away three in-store shopping spree prizes worth $1,000, $500 and $250.

Farmers’ markets highlight food security Disciples of the 100-mile diet satisfy their needs with local produce By Karl yu The News BulleTiN

armers’ markets offer disciples of the 100-mile diet and buy-local movements an opportunity to satisfy their lifestyles. Ilan Goldenblatt, Bowen Road Farmers’ Market manager, points to natural disasters, including the 2011 Japan tsunami, as reasons local food is so important. “Even developed countries with good infrastructure can be hit with unforeseen consequences that cause disruptions in transportation and food supplies, so food security should be a real big issue for everybody,” he said. George Benson, market manager for the Cedar Farmers’ Market, has similar views. “The nutritional value of food at the farmers’ markets is much higher quality then you would find in a store where it’s [brought in] from California or Mexico. It’s fresh, it’s local and when you support local business,

Cedar Farmers’ Market

Benson said the Cedar market, which is located at 2313 Yellow Point Rd., on the field next to the Crow and Gate Pub, was started about 19 years ago. The market is open for business on Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., running until Oct. 26. On top of the usual produce and baked goods, there is meat, including bison.

that money stays in the community. For every dollar you spend, it’s worth $6 in return,” he said. Nanaimo Downtown Farmers’ Market

The Nanaimo Downtown Farmers’ Market has been operating for close to 18 years, located at Pioneer Waterfront Plaza, behind the Bastion, running from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. until Oct. 10, according to treasurer Ann Smith. Smith said organizers started a registered nonprofit society four years after the market’s inception and if there is money left over at the end of the season from vendor dues, the society donates to local charities. With currently 42 vendors, five of which are farmers, the market offers baked goods, eggs, meat, dairy and all manner of crafts.

grounds at Beban Park (2300 Bowen Rd.) and runs on Wednesdays from 4 to 6:30 p.m. until mid-October. Goldenblatt said the market has been around seven years and it is unique in the area as

it almost exclusively sells food products, with meat, bread, local produce, cheese and preserves amongst the offerings, and there is even a soft drink maker that makes naturally fermented probiotic soda.

People who live north of Nanaimo don’t have head down the highway to get fresh food and produce. The market is going into its third season and is located at the St. Philip by the Sea Anglican Church parking lot (7113 Lantzville Rd.). Raw chocolate and ice cream are amongst the items for sale, said Louise Negrave, Lantzville Farmers’ Market Society treasurer. It runs on Sundays between 1:30 and 4 p.m. until Oct. 26.

Salad greens, sausages, meatballs, raw chocolate, farm fresh eggs, organic cosmetics and herbal tea are just some of the things on sale.

Women’s lacrosse now national-calibre I TEAM B.C. selects Nanaimo females for first time ever. BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

acrosse is a short season, said Madison Krassman, and as soon as it ends, she can’t wait for it to start again. Well, for her and for three of her teammates, lacrosse season will last a lot longer this year – all the way till August, and the Canadian championships. Krassman, Dallyce Gillespie, Sam Hartmann and Hannah Boas of the Nanaimo Timbermen junior women’s team and Shaelynn Ross of the midget girls’ team made history this spring as the first-ever local females to make Team B.C. The players stood out at a three-day identification camp chock full of talented young women. “It was amazing to play with that level of skill,” said Hartmann. “No balls were dropped, the pace was fast and it was awesome.” She wanted to go out with a bang in her last year, and gets to do just that. Gillespie tried out four times before breaking through; Boas said she’s grateful to be getting this opportunity; Krassman called it “unreal” to be selected. “I think Dallyce was more excited than I was that I made the team,” Krassman said. “She jumped up and screamed and hugged me and I was trying not to cry.” It’s special for the Timbermen women that so many of them achieved this together. “It makes a big difference, because you get to take some of your best friends with you to the biggest tournament in Canada. It’s nice to have that support behind you,” said Krassman.

GREG SAKAKI/THE NEWS BULLETIN

Madison Krassman, left, Dallyce Gillespie, Sam Hartmann and Hannah Boas of the Nanaimo Timbermen junior women’s team all qualified to play for Team B.C. at nationals in Ontario later this summer.

They’re getting to know some of their B.C. teammates via social media, and have upcoming practices on the mainland. The players will be plenty sharp considering that the B.C. championships are in two weeks’ time and the T-women shape up as contenders. Whatever happens at provincials, some of the young ladies know they get to play on, though they don’t know exactly what to expect at nationals in Whitby, Ont. in August. “It’s going to be tough,” said Gillespie. “I’ve never played

It’s going to be a lot of excitement and high energy.

that calibre. It’s going to be fast and skill-filled.” Hartmann said she’s heard ‘lacrosse week’ in Ontario gets pretty crazy.

“It’s going to be a lot of excitement and high energy,” she said. “So we’ll go off adrenalin from there.” Of course Team B.C. has a chance to do well, but really, nationals will be whatever the players make of it. “It’s a good opportunity…” Boas said. “I can tell I’m going to learn a lot. I already have… You have to be open to learn and you have to take encouragement and you share encouragement and just take it in strides.” sports@nanaimobulletin.com

great for our team to come back after being down two goals,” said Bill Merriman, the team’s coach, in a press release. He said the comeback was even more impressive since the team was playing without striker Blaze Roberts, the league’s top goal scorer.

“The depth in this team is something that could definitely help us as we go into the second half of the season,” Merriman said. The Mid-Isle Highlanders men play Chilliwack FC on Saturday (June 28) at 2 p.m. at Merle Logan Field. Admission is free.

Timbermen can fix their mistakes BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

The Nanaimo Timbermen were at their best and also at their worst in their last two games and they’ll learn from it. The city’s Western Lacrosse Association team plays back-toback contests this coming weekend, a home game Saturday (June 28) against the Burnaby Lakers and then a road game the next day versus the Maple Ridge Burrards. The T-men are coming off a headscratching few days that saw them beat the New Westminster Salmonbellies in tough Queen’s Park Arena, but then lose a blowout to the Coquitlam Adanacs at Frank Crane Arena. “We have to break down the stuff that was really good from the first game, and then break down the stuff that was really bad from the second game,” said Kaleb Toth, T-men coach. “We have to make sure that the guys stay positive and know that they did a good job, but have to continue to work hard or else … we’re going to get beat and it’s not going to be pretty.” Toth had some concerns about his players’ effort last game and said that’s unacceptable. “I understand if you make a little mistake, if you drop a ball, if you don’t catch a pass, that’s mechanical, that can get fixed,” he said. “But you should never get outworked.” He will continue to try to tweak the lineup, he said. GAME ON … The T-men host the Lakers on Saturday (June 28) at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane. Tickets will be available at the door. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Breakers make a breakthrough

MIDGET B softball team expects to contend at provincials next week.

They started out together as squirts, and my, how they’ve grown. The Nanaimo Breakers midget B girls’ softball team recently won the Island title and also won its first gold medal at a major Lower Mainland tournament. “It’s all come together this year,” said Mark Murray, the team’s coach. There were signs that the Breakers were breaking through, as they won a bronze earlier this season, then a silver, and now gold, going 17-4-1 en route. The team is strong in all areas, said the coach, but defence has been a real reason for success. “We’re only giving up a couple runs a game. We’re playing 1-1 ball games and winning 2-1, 3-2,” he said. The Breakers have representation from every Nanaimo high school, pointed out the coach, and yet they’ve become a closeknit group of friends. “They all face each other during the seasons in basketball and volleyball; there’s always these rivalries and then finally they’re all together on the same team. It’s kind of cool, actually,” Murray said. Softball B.C. provincials are July 4-6 in Abbotsford and the Breakers

The team is also entered in the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship later in July in Surrey. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Buccaneers filling up roster The Nanaimo Buccaneers have more hands on deck after announcing six new signings this month. The city’s junior B Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League club announced that Rowan Siider, Trent Bell, Nik Malenica, Owen Dalman, Nolan Richardson and Liam Craig will be part of the team in 2014-15. Siider, Bell and Malenica are former North Island Silvertips major midget players. Siider is a stay-at-home defenceman, Bell is a feisty forward and Malenica is more of a power forward. Dalman and Richardson played last season for the Nanaimo midget Tier 1 team and Craig played midget in Cowichan. Dalman plays a fast, aggressive style up front, Richardson has potential to be a scorer and coaches like Craig’s work ethic. The Buccaneers, with new coach Derek Bachynski, will hold main camp Aug. 15-17 at the Nanaimo Ice Centre. The season starts in September.

When the Second World War ended and the Iron Curtain drew over Eastern Europe many people escaped to the democratic West any way they could and for Giselle Roeder that meant experiencing the sensation of flying for the very first time. “Most people were put in a train that never stopped to West Germany from East Germany, but I flew,“ Roeder recalled about her 1955 escape to West Germany. “I thought it was incredible to look down over East Germany and know they could shoot you down.” Roeder’s escape is just one of a handful of memories documented in her newest book, We Don’t Talk About That: An Amazing Story of Survival. “It reads like a novel,” Roeder said about the book. “It is the life of ordinary families, during the rise of Hitler’s time and how we all learned to shut up because we would be put in concentration camp, it didn’t matter what religion

you were. You didn’t need to be a Jew to go to the concentration camp.” Roeder, who now resides in the Harbour City, will be signing copies of her book at Woodgrove Centre on Friday (June 27). “We didn’t talk about things because we didn’t know who was an informer and the same thing happened all over again in … in East Germany,” Roeder said. We Don’t Talk About That

chronicles life in Germany after the First World War as well as life during and after the Second World War. The book focuses around a little German girl named Gila, who is forced to escape East Germany and struggles to find her footing in West Germany. Although the book details the horrors of war, it also contains moments of innocence. “I always add innocent childhood memories, not to make it too hard on the reader,” Roeder said. “The reader will laugh, they will chuckle, and maybe at one time they will also cry ... especially when the Russians come in and all that rape was going on.” While writing the book, Roeder experienced frequent nightmares and often found herself re-living the horrific events. “The worst nightmare I ever had was when we were evicted the first time and we were walking over this field, where they [Russians and Germans] had been fighting the day before and there were bodies lying around,” she said. Roeder signs copies of her book on Friday at the RBC branch in Woodgrove Centre from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. For more information, please visit www.giselleroeder.com. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

They hail from the other side of the world and next month an award-winning choir will be taking the stage in the Harbour City. New Zealand’s Kapiti College Choir, which is made up of 20 young singers, will be performing at St. Paul’s Anglican Church on July 6. The concert has been sponsored by the 60-member Malaspina Choir. Kathryn-Jane Hazel, production committee member for the Malaspina Choir, said that while Kapiti College Choir can sing a wide variety of choral genres, they particularly enjoy performing works by New Zealand composers, such as David Childs, Dorothy Buchanan and David Hamilton. “They do like to highlight their native New Zealand composers, which will be something different, I think, for Nanaimo Choral music lovers,” Hazel said. The Kapiti College Choir have won a number of national and international awards, including two silver medals at the 2012 World Choir Games in Cincinnati, Ohio. Prior to the Nanaimo show they will also perform at the Kathaumixw Choral Festival in Powell River. “The fact that they got invited to the Kathaumixw Choral Festival is a great honour,” Hazel said. The Kapiti College Choir perform at St. Paul’s Anglican Church on July 6. Tickets are available at the door or by calling 250-245-1466.

STUDIO SHOWCASING textile art, including fabric work, quilting, photo transfer and mixed media.

By Nicholas Pescod The News BulleTiN

If you love textile art then downtown Nanaimo is the place to be. The Textile Ar t Show, which is put on by the Mid Island Surface Design Group, is currently on display at Artzi Stuff at 2 Church St. “There are so many paintings that dominate the arts scene, but I went to school for textile arts and I have special place in my heart for it and I wanted to show that,” said Tanya Streeter, event organizer. Mid Island Sur face Design Group is a group of about 10 ladies from as far south as Maple Bay and as far north as

Qualicum Beach and specialize in textile art. “This is an example of eight members work and it is entirely made out of fabric,” Streeter said. “Lots of quilting and photo transfer and mixed media.” The show, which began last month, was intended to end this weekend but will be extended into July because of its popularity. Streeter wants people who take in the show to walk away feeling that textiles are more than just a simple quilt. “It can be an art form,” Streeter said.

The Athletics won Nanaimo Minor Baseball’s peewee house title, defeating the Angels by a 13-12 score on Sunday at the Serauxmen Sports Fields. Max Kolopenuk hit a walk-off RBI single in the last inning. Shewchuk’s relations were in attendance for the final; the family has never missed a trophy presentation in 40 years.

Thousands raised for red shirt day A workplace shooting at Nanaimo’s Western Forest Products in the early morning of April 30 sent shock waves throughout the Island and across Canada. Tragedy quickly turned into action, and the Red Shirt Foundation was created by the family of one of the victims to bring education and awareness to workplace violence. The day’s events also touched Coastal Community Credit Union employees. In response to their eagerness to help, employees were encouraged to wear red during a special week in May and make a donation to the Red Shirt Foundation. And thanks to contributions made by members, clients and Vancouver Islanders, plus Coastal Community’s $2,500 corporate donation, a total of $7,590 was raised for

the foundation. Lynn Jacques, foundation chairwoman and founding director, commended the credit union for its fundraising initiative in a press release. “We’ve received overwhelming encouragement and endorsement as we move forward with the launch of this not-for-profit society that will help move the pain of the Lunn and McEachern families, and the community of Nanaimo forward,” she said. “The Red Shirt Foundation will work with employers and employees to jointly create environments that are more aware of potential violence and better able to respond to employee reports of concern or conflict.” Donations can still be made to the foundation by visiting the website www. redshirtfoundation. com.

Tech demonstrations show fitness buffs new gadgets The race season is here and summer is kicking into high gear. That means athletes of all levels from everywhere are training and getting ready to compete in races and activities across the province. For those looking for more

information on how to get the most out of an active lifestyle London Drugs is hosting health tech demonstrations. Wearable tech options, such as Fitbit and iHealth, are programmed to take training to a whole new level by monitoring

heart rate, blood sugar, calorie intake and more. London Drugs pharmacists can assist customers in all the wearable tech options in store, whether it is maintaining a healthy diet, monitoring diabetes or looking to get in shape.

Pharmacists are holding workshops for customers to discuss questions regarding the use of wearable tech accessories. In Nanaimo, pharmacists will be available Friday (June 27), 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., at the

North Town Centre location. At the Port Place London Drugs location, there will be a second demonstration that day from 3-7 p.m. For more information, please visit www.londondrugs.com. editor@nanaimobulletin.com

SCHOOL’S OUT…

When School is out...

DRIVE CAREFULLY!

The final bell of the school year has rung, so the neighbourhood children are all over the place. They’ll be going to the park. Riding their bikes. Flying kites. And, they’ll inevitably b e running into the street or a parking lot to retrieve a stray ball. When you’re behind the wheel, especially during the summer, please keep a watchful eye out for children who may not be thinking of anything beyond the game of the moment. They may not realize it, but their lives may depend on your ability to stop in time.

School’s Out Have a safe summer!
