Fishers take advantage of a strong pink salmon run near Nanaimo’s Millstone River

BY KARL YU THE NEWS BULLETIN

isheries and Oceans Canada is forecasting a strong pink salmon run for Nanaimo, providing good recreational fishing opportunities. Andrew Thomson, Fisheries and Oceans Canada South Coast B.C. area director, said estimates aren’t done for every pink salmon run but there are indicator systems and the department has seen strong pink salmon runs in other river systems on the east coast of Vancouver Island. It seems as if there has been favourable ocean con-

ditions and an abundance of fish in the approach areas to Nanaimo, he said. “At the moment, we’ve got pink salmon returning to both the Millstone River and into Departure Bay as well, and so we’ve opened up for recreational opportunities for pink salmon,” Thomson said. “We’ve seen pink salmon return strong in other areas and so we expect a good strong return as well for pinks in the Nanaimo area and that’s why the fishing opportunity’s been offered.” James Sandifer, an avid fisherman, heard that pink salmon were making their

way through Nanaimo’s waterfront and has been taking advantage for a few days. “I’ve caught a total of five – two [Monday], one [Sunday] and now two,” Sandifer said Tuesday. “I find the best fishing right now is during the high tide. It pushes the fish more in close to the river mouth and it’s just easier fishing instead of having to go further out into the water.” Mike Screaton said the salmon are spawning and getting ready to run up the Millstone. He brought his family up from Ladysmith, just like the year previous. “Last year was good, it

was awesome. I came out and scouted yesterday, saw lots of guys catching them and I’ve seen a lot of guys catching them already [Tuesday], so it’s supposed to be getting better every day that goes by,” he said. Screaton’s sons Bradley and Brayden both said they had high hopes for their yield. “I want to catch a really big one, I hope,” said Bradley, with Brayden hoping for the same. Thomson said there is a limit of four fish per day for pink salmon until the end of September.

Second medical marijuana company poised for Nanaimo BY TAMARA CUNNINGHAM THE NEWS BULLETIN

Two new medical marijuana operations could bookend the Harbour City. B.C.-based Wildflower Marijuana Inc. is applying to Health Canada to license its two medical marijuana production facilities in the Nanaimo region. If approved, it says it would become the largest grower and distributor in the country with 150,000 square feet of growing space on either end of the city. This would also be its first grow operation. According to William MacLean, Wildflower Marijuana chief executive offiIf we can leverage cer, the company looked the skilled labour across Canada a producand obviously have for tion site and the Nanaimo area’s that temperate temperate and climate there, we moderate climate is “ideal” think it’s a great for growing the drug. He says place to start a the company is business. aiming to have the lowest carbon footprint in the industry and environment plays a large factor in that. Nanaimo’s skilled labour was also a factor in Wildflower’s decision to locate here. It made its first application to Health Canada to license a six-building operation on 51 hectares in Nanoose Bay and plans to make a second this month for a 14-hectare spread in Yellow Point. Both properties are in the Agricultural Land Reserve, which is allowed by the province although the company would not qualify for farm tax status.

Port explores Harbour City’s LNG potential

Onus on developers to ensure compliance with tree-cutting bylaw By TaMara CunninghaM The News BulleTiN

DUKE POINT has capacity to allow Nanaimo to cash in on fledgling industry. By Karl yu The News BulleTiN

With the B.C. government pushing the liquefied natural gas industry, Nanaimo may be able to take advantage of related opportunities that come. New Nanaimo Port Authority chairman Jeet Manhas said one of his priorities is to expand the dock at Duke Point. He said it is set up for industrial use but has never really taken off and given where Nanaimo is situated, it can take advantage of some related projects. Nanaimo is in close proximity to Southeast Asia and seeing as Vancouver and Prince Rupert are overloaded, Manhas said the Harbour City is a logical extension. “Mainly right now, we’re just talking about equipment [cranes] coming over,” Manhas said. “Pieces of equipment for setting up plants in Kitimat or wherever they happen to be. Right now it’s basically not liquefied natural gas moving out, it’s just equipment and machinery and things like that coming over.” Nanaimo Mayor John Ruttan said utilizing Duke Point for such opportunities would be a good move for the port authority to make. “I know that the potential of Duke Point really hasn’t been realized yet and so I’m so pleased that the port is looking at expanding that because really those communities, and certainly Nanaimo is foremost in my mind, those communities that aren’t active in trying to attract whatever opportunities the LNG projects will bring might miss the boat,” Ruttan said. The mayor said the industry is developing and it isn’t really known what opportunities may become available. There are still approval levels at play but he said it would be prudent to examine anything from which the city could benefit. “The reality is we’re trying to look at all opportunities and it’s important for us to really follow what the province is suggesting,” Ruttan said. “The [provincial government] is looking forward to LNG as a huge economic generator for the whole province and I think really it would be prudent for us to look at what spinoff opportunities we ourselves could enjoy from it.” reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Tournament cash box stolen A local softball tournament struck out over the weekend after organizers discovered that thousands of dollars were stolen from them. According to the Nanaimo RCMP, organizers had a cash box that contained roughly $5,500 from the tournament, which is held annually at McGirr Sports Fields and consisted of 15 men’s teams from across Vancouver Island. The money would have been used to pay the umpires and field fees. Tournament organizers became aware of the theft at approximately 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, which was the last day of the tournament. Nanaimo RCMP was

called after organizers realized that the cash box, which had been left in an unsecured area, was missing. “Organizers are shocked and dismayed that someone would stoop so low. They will be taking to social media sites to let people know what happened and hopefully find out who is responsible,” Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman said in a press release. Anyone with information is asked to contact Nanaimo RCMP Const. Justin Ickringill at 250754-2345 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Tips can also be submitted online at www. nanaimocrimestoppers.com.

It’s incumbent on developers to make sure whatever site preparation work they do is compliant, says Nanaimo’s mayor in the wake of the city levying its third tree removal fine this year. The City of Nanaimo issued a $10,000 fine to Maplewood Properties after an investigation found the company cleared a site on Kenworth Road “knowingly contrary” to city bylaws. It was the third time this year the city has taken enforcement action on a company for tree removal. The city fined Windley Contracting Ltd. $10,500 for removing 20 trees from a watercourse leave strip on Songbird Place and encroaching into the watercourse setback, while Carlo Construction Ltd. was fined $11,325 for the unauthorized removal of trees on Reynolds Road and starting work on city streets without a permit. All of the companies have claimed communication issues with city staff, according to city m a n a g e r Te d Swabey, who said it’s something of which they are conscious. Before anyone The municipalstarts removing i t y u l t i m a t e l y holds property trees they must owners responfor ensuring realize there is sible work is compliant the potential for with city requirements, although contravening it also reports the majority of bylaws. development in the area moves ahead with necessary approvals and permits in place. “Before anyone starts removing trees, they must realize there is the potential for contravening bylaws,” Ruttan said. “So I encourage developers and builders when they are involved in site preparation that they take the time to assess what work will be done and if it requires the removal of existing trees, that somebody review the bylaws and make sure they are in conformance before they go ahead and take the trees down.” Maplewood Properties plans to dispute its fine.

Skilled labour, climate attracts pot business From /1

The company also plans to apply for a research and development licence. “If we can leverage the skilled labour and obviously have that temperate climate there, we think it’s a great place to start a business and I think that it will really benefit the local economy,” said MacLean, who adds that Wildflower is confident its application will get approved. “I think that having our second application going in is big news for our company. We feel that acquisition there really starts to make us stand out above the other companies in this process.” Wildflower Marijuana secured its second Yellow Point property and sees having the two separate locations as a plus. It will allow the company to diver-

grams of medical marijuana a year and provide more than 100 jobs once fully operational. MacLean says more than $40 million would be infused into the region over four to five years if its licence applications are approved. MacLean also says there’s no reason why other companies wouldn’t look at locating in Nanaimo in the near future based on its access to skilled labour, cost of land and willingness of the local community and government agencies to support the industry. He added that if done right, the companies are only going to benefit the local community. “I think if we see the benefit of being in Nanaimo, I can definitely see other companies seeing the benefits of it, he said.

Wildflower includes a former RCMP police chief as head of security and a former United Nations agriculture specialist. There is no date set for building the new facilities or starting operations, which hinge on the Health Canada approval process. The Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation was not not aware of Wildflower and its applications.

A major structure fire occurred in Nanaimo’s north end Sunday. At approximately 6:30 p.m., firefighters were called to a single-storey house fire at at 5277 Catalina Dr. after neighbours reported seeing smoke. According to Capt. Ennis Mond, fire investigator with Nanaimo Fire Rescue, the fire began in the kitchen and eventually spread upwards through the house. “It was a fire on top of the stove,” Mond said. A female occupant was inside the house and is believed to have been asleep at the time of the fire. Fortunately, she awoke in time. “We believe by the smoke alarm,” Mond said. “She doesn’t have any recollection of it, but neighbours heard it going.” Mond said that although neighbours were reportedly on hand and ready to come to the woman’s rescue, the woman was able to crawl out through the front door. The woman was then taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation and released the following day. According to Mond, the estimated damage to the house is around $250,000. He noted that the homeowner had insurance. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Animal advocates want the city to turn up the heat on people who leave dogs in hot cars. Nanaimo city council will look into a new bylaw that could see people ticketed for keeping pooches in their cars during hot weather. Animal advocates are calling for the city to consider a new ventilation law which they say would act as a deterrent and give enforcers another tool to deal with the issue of dogs in distress. Similar bylaws have already rolled out in B.C. communities like Surrey and Delta. According to the Nanaimo SPCA, it received a total 54 alerts of dogs left in vehicles this July. One dog died this year from overheating. “We plaster the province with signs and advertising about don’t leave your dog in hot cars and every single summer we see again, again and again it happening every day,” said Leon Davis, Nanaimo SPCA branch manager. “If education isn’t working maybe some sort of legislation has to take its place or complement it at least.” But just how much bite should the bylaw have?

Nanaimo city council is considering a bylaw that would see people ticketed for leaving dogs in vehicles during hot weather. Similar bylaws are in place in other B.C. communities like Surrey and Delta.

MacTire, who supported the bid for a bylaw, said her aim is to address people who cause extreme distress or death to animals by leaving them in cars, but wouldn’t want to see the law used as a club to punish people just for running into 7-Eleven for five minutes. However, Coun. Bill Bestwick said it should be a “stick” and it should be strong enough that it’s “not just something that’s weak and feeble and non-enforceable.” “Make it so that it actually has some teeth because it shouldn’t take very many of those within our community that people start to

go, ‘oh, holy cow,’ and to be a little bit vigilant about it,” he said. The SPCA is also hoping the city considers other animal welfare laws around basic care and inadequate and dangerous tethering. City staff members will meet with animal control and the SPCA to talk about proposals and will look into what municipalities are allowed to regulate, best practices and whether the city should make changes to animal control or create a standalone bylaw. When a report and bylaw will be presented to council has not been announced. news@nanaimobulletin.com

councillor brings sPca funding back to council A Nanaimo city councillor wants to restructure the assistance the city gives the SPCA and its new $2.7 million shelter. Coun. Bill McKay provided notice Monday that he wants council to reconsider the $150,000 grant city council agreed to give the SPCA over

the next three years for a new regional community animal centre. He told the News Bulletin he has a proposal that would provide a different form of help but which would have to be discussed in-camera. Last Monday, council agreed to give the SPCA funding for a

new multi-million dollar facility on Westwood Road. The local SPCA started fundraising for a new shelter after its lease for city property expired. It recently received nine expressions of interest for the build and hopes to go to tender at the end of August or mid-September.

City becoming a pot hot spot

These are high times for prospective pot growers all across Canada, and particularly in Nanaimo. Another company, Wildflower Marijuana Inc., is seeking medicinal marijuana growing licences from Health Canada for two locations, one in Yellow Point and one at Nanoose Bay. Tilray, located in the Duke Point industrial park, is already licensed in Nanaimo and started growing and shipping immediately when new federal regulations came into place this year. The company has positioned itself as an industry leader, it has been responsible with its operations and security and it pays its fair share of taxes. The fact that the company has so far been a good neighbour in Nanaimo doesn’t mean that we would have the same experience with every B.C. bud business that comes to town. According to reports, Health Canada is receiving two dozen applications a day for medicinal marijuana grow-ops – a lot of people want in on what’s shaping up to be a cash crop. Hopefully we can trust the feds to be choosy with the applications it approves – so far Tilray is one of five legal grow-ops in B.C. and one of 13 in Canada. But if this latest applicant proves to be legitimate and upstanding and creates more local jobs, growth and tax revenue, then by all means, let’s let the company try to make a go of it here. We do have some more general concerns. Arguably, the volume of pot being legally grown already far exceeds any reasonable medicinal demand, so the system is being abused. With a growing supply, a growing industry and a growing lobby, there will be growing pressure on the government to relax drug policy. Toward decriminalization? Toward legalization? Those will be federal election issues a year from now. For now, if marijuana operations want to come to Nanaimo and be good neighbours, then let’s not harsh their mellow.

application and work to raise the dam took place after that. It’s not difficult to deduce from aerial photos what was happening as mine management found ways to extend operation, including an underground phase. The pond was filling up with pulverized rock, reducing its capacity to hold water. It may be months before inspectors and geotechnical engineers can determine the cause of the breach, which occurred with the water level 2.5 metres below the top of the dam. Either the design of the earthworks was not adequate, or it was not adequately followed. TV crews have packed up and left, after sucking out the initial drama and retailing every sensational claim they could find. Professional environmentalists are now exploiting Mount Polley as part of their campaign to de-industrialize B.C. A key propaganda tool is a single picture of a salmon with skin removed from part of its dorsal region. No such fish has been produced, and a single rainbow trout collected the day of the spill is the only confirmed aquatic casualty. u Tom Fletcher is a columnist and legislative reporter for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

‘Semi-public’ isn’t good enough for park To the Editor,

Re: Hilton seeks park lease for waterfront project, Aug. 14. I had to read the article twice just to believe what I was reading and I must say I still don’t believe it. A public park is just that – public. Not semi-public, not partially pub-

lic, but public. The business decision of the year is going to be to lease it as it ‘is not used much.’ What’s next? I recall – in fact just as recently as the fireworks and marine festival that brought so many people to Nanaimo – that there was limited space to

sit and enjoy the fireworks. The ‘useless’ space was full. Just the notion of a international company getting the rights of a publicly owned park for their benefit – because don’t kid yourself folks, it is only for their benefit – is sick. Is everything for

sale? Why not the rest of the park space in Nanaimo? Should we not do a study or have a commitee studying on how many people actually use these places and if they don’t, why not just flog them to some corporation for their use so we can maybe rent it back

from them or pay admission? What a joke. Every time I hear this city council make another decision I bow my head in shame as a resident. Bring on the election; we need a clean slate.

solids were removed it was drinkable. We in Nanaimo worry when the city water turns a little murky in spring due to runoff. Remember that the tailing pond is just a settling pond and the water is returned to the process over and over. Environmental groups are quick to criticize before they have the facts about how a mine runs and what are the processes in place to deal with situations. One cannot predict the future but using science and engineering can provide the reason why things are built to the standards in Canada. Please explain where the company is trying to “get away with murder.” They have been more positive

Re: B.C. back in black, deep in debt, Opinion, July 24. Some capital investments are made to reduce operating cost, improve reliability, add capacity, sometimes to meet demand, sometimes ‘just because.’ In your household there is a limit based on income. Similarly in business, borrowing has to be paid back. Provincial politicians tend to be profligate in spending, including on grandiose

projects – Ontario being a current example, with huge projects and mis-managed deals that will burden Ontario taxpayers for decades. (And the rest of us, because of the federal government’s crazy system of transfer payments that rescue the foolish.) Every election they try to buy votes by promising the unaffordable. Governments must cut activities. The B.C. government continues to spend on handouts to moochers, including companies

Re: City looks at Colliery options, Aug. 14. Decisions are rushed for the Colliery Dams once again. No time has been given to consider the implications of this decision. Council’s motion has given the illusion of including innovative solutions, but in actual fact has only added multiple layers of bureaucracy, convolutes the goal and will add millions of dollars to the final solution with no inherent gain. Spending $200,000-$400,000 to give the illusion of inclusion is madness. That money would be far better spent looking at how the dams would react in a flood event. Doing the study could show little or nothing is required. The current overtopping proposal (up to three metres of concrete over the whole of the downside berm) is expensive, intrusive, and not necessary. The Dam Safety Branch does not require the dams to be remediated to this standard, just that they do not fail in a manner that causes loss of life or property. The motion is a consultants’ dream, but has limited value to the city and citizens. Once again it will be more money wasted.

To the Editor,

Re: City looks at Colliery options, Aug. 14. We have come full circle in the almost two years the Colliery Dams Park issue has been before us; first, removal of the Dams proposed based on supposition and assumptions made from incomplete reports; now, two overtopping solutions based again simply on conjecture. At a cost of $2 million, we know two things; one, the dams will not fail in an earthquake; two, rather than the original 100-150 deaths presented in a Dam failure, no one will die. The technical committee was formed in 2013 to revisit the original scenarios with actual scientific data. When scientifically determined the dams would not fail in an earthquake, the focus turned to a mythical inundation event. Colliery Dam Park Preservation Society was right taking a hiatus from the technical committee when an alternative overtopping measure, a $5 million savings, was refused to be considered by city staff. Time to reconvene the technical committee and do an erosion modelling study; the likely outcome would be that we actually have to do nothing to the dams.

Island Health doubles beds for hospice

plaN updatES how end-of-life care is provided and aims to enhance services on the island. By Tamara CunnIngHam The News bulleTiN

A five-year plan to double hospice beds across Vancouver Island is “encouraging,” according to the executive director of the Nanaimo Hospice, who says there’s need in every community. Island Health has announced it will double the number of hospice beds on Vancouver Island by 2020, a move that stems from its updated end-of-care priorities and syncs up with a similar provincial commitment. Island communities will see beds increased from 32 to 62 over the next five years beginning in 2015 with the Comox Valley, which doesn’t currently have beds set aside for people who are dying and no longer need acute care. Nanaimo already has four hospice beds and is last on the priority list. It’s It’s about a unknown what its whole approach share of the additional beds will be. to doing endWendy Pratt, of-care better, executive director of the Nanaimo right across Community HosSociety, conthe Island and pice siders the plan that will affect good news. The hospice is nanaimo. a member of the Vancouver Island Federation of Hospices, which has been working with Island Health around better end-of-life care. “Ultimately every community needs more beds. It doesn’t matter whether it’s Nanaimo that already has beds or Victoria that has 17 hospice beds ... those beds still aren’t covering the need,” she said, adding this document is Island Health’s way of saying it gets the message. “We are addressing the need on Vancouver Island for beds but we are also addressing the need for patients and families. It’s about a whole approach to doing end-of-care better, right across the Island and that will affect Nanaimo.” The updated priorities look at how end-oflife care is provided and looks to enhance services, including tele-hospice for rural, remote communities and enhanced caregiver support. It also names hospice societies as community partners. For more information on hospice care, please visit www.nanaimohospice.com.

boat Smart aims to spread awareness of water hazards. By Karl yu The News BulleTiN

With boating prominent in the Harbour City, the message of boater safety is an important one. Wearing approved lifejackets and personal flotation devices is highly recommended and while the traditional kind may seem bulky, that is not the case for more modern models, according to Tashonna McDougall, social media and public relations lead for boat safety organization Boat Smart. “There’s a bunch of different things. Mustang PFDs are really great, especially for people who feel like they’re constrained by life-jackets because it just slides across you,” said McDougall. In addition to life-jackets, boaters are also advised not to consume alcohol. McDougall said the two don’t mix and said alcohol is still a factor in 39 per cent of boating fatalities each year. “The negative effects of alcohol are actually up to four times greater when consuming alcohol on a boat versus on land. So the motion of the boat, the sun, the wind and waves all combine to increase the effects of alcohol, impairing your judgment and reducing your reaction time,” she said.

KARL YU/The News BULLeTiN

tashonna mcDougall, boat Smart social media and public relations lead, and brendan o’Connor, team lead, wear modern personal flotation devices, which they say aren’t as constraining as traditional life-jackets.

The federal government introduced pleasure craft operator card requirements in 1999, due to the number of boat-related injuries and deaths, and according to McDougall, incidents have decreased by 24 per cent since then. Reviewing boater information doesn’t hurt, either. “Even experienced boaters can have bad habits. If you already have your operator card, check out free animated refresher lessons on Boat Smart’s Facebook page,” she

said, adding that it’s a good idea for boaters to refresh their knowledge throughout the season. Boat Smart is also looking to raise money to send disadvantaged youths to camp, including Camp Goodtimes. McDougall said Canadians are asked to share images of moments on the water. Pictures can be shared on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram using the hashtag #BoatSmartMoment. One hashtag will equal $1 donated. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Acme T-men campaign for Presidents’ Cup

SR. B TEAM getting ready for nationals.

BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN

The Presidents’ Cup is about to face off, and the Acme Timbermen are in the running to achieve their ultimate goal. The Nanaimo Acme Painting Timbermen senior B lacrosse team is entered in the national championship tournament for the second straight year. Last year the T-men got to participate because other teams declined the opportunity, but this year Nanaimo earned its place at Canada’s senior B lacrosse showcase. “To be able to play this far into the summer and to play at the level of a national championship, playing against the best players in the country, it’s very exciting,” said Ryan Dietterle, T-men defender. This year’s Presidents’ Cup starts Monday (Aug. 25) and is being held at Coquitlam’s Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex, hosted by the B.C. champs, the Tri-City Bandits. Also participating are the Akwesasne Outlawz, the Khanawake Mohawks, the Onondaga Redhawks, the St. Albert

figured out what the talent level was out there and how good teams were, because we had no clue,” said Ryan Forslund, T- m e n f o r w a rd . “Now we’ve got an idea of how good the talent is, so this year we have to go guns a blazing and take it to them.” He said his team played tentatively

last year rather than force its game. The 2013 nationals were the first Presidents’ Cup for most of the Acme T-men, and the pressure got to them. “We were affected pretty bad by it last year, along with being cross country in a place that none of us had been before,” Dietterle

said. “But this year we know what we’re up against for the most part. There’s going to be teams and players we’ve never seen before, but we should be more prepared and more ready for it.” The style of lacrosse is a little bit different in other parts of Canada. For example, some of

the players on the First Nations teams, in particular, favour wood sticks. “You get bruised up a lot more,” Forslund said. The T-men will make sure they have a few wood sticks in the lineup too; some players were getting used to using them during the B.C. playoffs. A wood stick makes it easier to knock the ball off an opponent’s stick and makes for more harmful crosschecks, explained T- m e n a s s i s t a n t coach Kyle Couling, but modern lightweight sticks are better for picking up loose balls, passing and shooting. Dietterle said there are talented teams from out east, but said it’s a different kind of talent. “It’s not always the best-structured lacrosse…” he said. “There’s a lot of shots from places you’re not prepared for and they’ll hit their spots a lot of the time.” This year, the T-men will be ready for anything, and they feel ready to go. “Every team will come out looking to win, looking to set the tone, so we have to do the same thing,” Forslund said. “We have to take charge.” GAME ON … Nanaimo’s first game is against Tri-City on Monday at 8:30 p.m. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

V.I. Raiders tackle their problems BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN

A missed tackle, said football coach Brian Ridgeway, can turn a regular play into a massive one. His V.I. Raiders missed too many tackles, and gave up too many massive plays, in last week’s 64-20 loss to the Okanagan Sun. As a result, the Raiders got back to the fundamentals this week at practice as they prepared to host the undefeated Langley Rams on Saturday (Aug. 23) at Caledonia Park. “If we can go back to the basics and just get perfect at what we need to work on at the basic level, then we can work up to the more difficult stuff,” said Colton Copp, Raiders linebacker. Tackling is a football basic, but that doesn’t mean it’s simple. Ridgeway said some of tackling is aptitude, desire and willingness. “ Yo u c a n ’ t b e scared of contact. If you are, you’ll never be an effective tackler,” said the coach. “But confidence works into that. A couple guys made a few bad busts and I think their confidence was reeling. So when you’re working the fundamentals right, you build up your confidence.” See ‘TEAM’ /15

Track athletes among nation’s fastest, highest Even with Canada’s best track athletes lining up in the lanes, Nanaimo youths were among the frontrunners. Seven members of the Nanaimo Track and Field Club raced at the Legion Canadian

Youth National Track and Field Championships in Langley this past weekend, with four of them medalling. Madison Heisterman raced to a silver-medal finish in the U16 800 metres, reaching the

finish line in two minutes, 12.86 seconds. Jason Clare earned silver in the U18 pole vault competition, Rachel Jerome took bronze in the U18 long jump and Hassy Fashina-Bombata

was part of Team B.C.’s bronze-medal-winning U16 4x100m relay team. “It’s very impressive to see our athletes compete so well against the best in the country,” said Terri Doughty, a

track club director, in a press release. “Congratulations to them, their coaches and their families for all the hard work and support needed for this kind of achievement.” sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Team needs to tackle with confidence From /13

If guys get in their repetitions during the week and find success on the practice field, Brian Ridgeway said, that translates to the field of play. Dylan Chapdelaine, V.I. safety, said when a player misses a tackle, he has to stay composed and “come out firing again” on the next play. “You’ve got to want it more than your opponent. You’ve got to be more physical and come out and hit them hard…” he said. “You have to have the desire, the want and

you’ve just got to put your face in there.” Colton Copp said it’s about heart and effort. “It’s not that difficult to tackle – it’s who wants it bad,” he said. “If you have it in your mind that you’re going to make that tackle, then it’s going to happen.” When a player makes a tackle or eludes a tackle, it sometimes looks from the stands as though one guy won that one-on-one battle, but that’s not usually the case. “You’ve got 12 guys out

there…” Copp said. “It’s a brotherhood here and it’s a team sport, so you need all of your 12 guys to help make the tackle or else you aren’t going to win.” GAME ON … The Raiders and Rams kick off Saturday (Aug. 23) at 4 p.m. at Caledonia Park. Tickets cost $12 for adults and $10 for seniors and students and will be available at the gate or in advance at Palladian Developments … For a game preview, visit www. nanaimobulletin.com. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

The We s t e r n Lacrosse Association senior A finals, which got underway We d n e s d a y a f t e r press time, pit the Shamrocks against the Maple Ridge Burrards. The Burrards upset the Burnaby Lakers in the semifinals, while the ’Rocks swept the New Westminster Salmonbellies in the other semi series. The Shamrocks are captained by Scott Ranger, who is from Nanaimo. “There is a real burning desire to want to get back to the Mann Cup…” said Shamrocks coach Bob Heyes, a former Nanaimo Timbermen goalie. “This next series is going to be taxing. I don’t foresee it being a fourgame sweep by either team.”

KURT BONKOWSKI March 29, 1928 - August 16, 2014

Kurt peacefully left us on August 16, 2014. Although he experienced diminished health in recent years, he remained interested in life and people. Left to mourn are Irene - his wife of 50 years, with whom he had a deep bond, daughter Kathy (Brad), son Mike (Ann) and grandchildren Cameron and Miranda. Surviving siblings are Heinz, Waldi, Helga and Dieter, all of the Nanaimo area, whose continued participation in Kurt’s life has been extremely valuable. He will be greatly missed. Maps, history, ham radio, photography (with his own dark-room), gardening and reading were some of Kurt’s great interests. He did everything methodically and well. Given the opportunity, he could have been a history professor. His academic recall remained phenomenal to the end. Kurt was born and raised in western Poland, but the years of World War II changed the path of the Bonkowski family. Kurt’s parents operated a farm, and sacrifices were made for him to attend high school in a nearby city. The war intervened and Kurt never did graduate, though he has been a life-long learner. Sponsored by his Aunt and Uncle Wende, he arrived in Canada in 1949 at age 21, the first of his family to emigrate. He went to work in the woods and logged until he became a Canadian citizen. He then he found work with Canada Post, beginning as a letter carrier and retiring as a postal clerk in 1988. Retirement years were immensely enjoyed, and Kurt and Irene were rarely apart. They travelled modestly, kept active with church and friends and of course stayed very involved in their childrens’ lives. Kurt even learned to use a computer and the internet! It was also a privilege for Kurt and Irene to share a home for many years in South Wellington with his parents, Ferdinand and Else. The entire Bonkowski clan on Vancouver Island has shared much together over the years. Kurt also made it a priority for the family to visit Irene’s relatives regularly in the Okanagan. Kathy and Mike are thankful for those trips, as well as yearly camping trips to Rathtrevor Beach, and also for Kurt’s role in encouraging our musical gifts and other interests, and most importantly for teaching us the love of God. The family thanks the wonderful and excellent staff at Nanaimo Seniors Village for Kurt’s care during the past three and a half years, and also thanks Dr. Roe for his skill and compassion. We wish to honour his life with a memorial service on Saturday August 30, 2014 at 1:00pm, at Maranatha Foursquare Gospel Church, located at 6553 Portsmouth Rd, Nanaimo, BC. All are welcome.

DEATHS

Jack Allan Furnell

Jack Allan Furnell, of extremely sound mind, passed away on August 15, 2014, after 97 years of eventful living. He is survived by his loving wife Ingrid, brother Norman, two granddaughters, many nieces and nephews, stepchildren and their children. Jack endured the Dieppe raid of 1942, and spent 2½ years in a prisoner-of-war camp before returning to Canada. After having lost touch with Ingrid during his time in WWII, they reconnected 40 years later and thoroughly enjoyed their 32 years together travelling and spending much time with family and friends. Jack was especially fond of playing golf and a good bridge game, and proudly played in his final bridge tournament just 3 months ago. A memorial tea will be held on Sunday, August 24th at 2 pm at Long Lake Chateau on Ross Rd., Nanaimo.

Coupons target farmers’ market By Tom FleTcher Black Press

The B.C. government has expanded its program to offer coupons worth $15 a week for farm market produce to pregnant women, seniors and low-income families who take a nutrition course. Health Minister Terry Lake announced earlier this month that an additional $750,000 has been added to the program for its third year of province-wide operation, in addition to $4 million provided in 2012 and 2013. The program runs July through October, as harvest comes off local farms. It is administered by the B.C. Association of Farmers’ Markets. Participants take a free nutrition and skills program that includes cooking, canning and preserving, and are issued weekly coupons that can be used like cash at participating farm markets to buy locally grown fruit, vegetables, meat, eggs, dairy products, nuts and herbs. The program is expanded this year to include additional farm markets in Nanaimo. A total of 49 markets around the province take part, teamed with local social service agencies that offer the courses. Lake said the program helps people make a transition to a healthier diet that lessens their risk for chronic diseases, while increasing the customer base for local farmers who sell directly to the public. The nutrition coupon program began as a pilot in 2007, funded by the social services ministry. Its goal for this year is to support 10,000 people. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Blues singer sees success after years of performing Award-winning blues musician returns to the Harbour City By Nicholas Pescod The News BulleTiN

t was a relative who got Steve Kozak hooked on the blues. “I had an older cousin that got me listening to Muddy Waters and Johnny Winter and stuff like that,” Kozak told the News Bulletin. Eventually, Kozak began going to live blues performances in Vancouver and decided to become a performer himself. “I got to meet Muddy Waters one time and I got to see Willie Dixon and all those guys and it just seemed like a real magical kind of thing,” Kozak said. “I had the good fortune to see those guys and hear them and that’s when I decided that is what I wanted to do.” Since then Kozak has become a mainstay within the Vancouver blues scene and on Sunday (Aug. 24) he will be performing at the Nanaimo Summertime Blues Festival, which features a number of artists including Canned Heat, The Distributors, Jayden Holman, Ian Perry, The Soul Shakers and Jim Brynes. “It is a great festival,” said Kozak, who has performed at the festival before. “It’s really nice that they invited me back. It’s a great location and a good bunch of folks over there and so I am really happy to be involved again.” Kozak, who has been performing regularly since the 1980s, has released albums, Hoot ‘N Holler and Lookin’ At Lucky, and is getting ready

to begin working on a new album. “I am still fairly new at the songwriting thing,” Kozak said. “I am working on it and I hope to get back into that mode soon and start working on another album. I’ve been very busy with playing and getting things organized that way the last little awhile, but now it is time.” For Kozak and other West Coast blues artists, the live music scene has been feeling

a bit of the blues lately, which can be attributed to a number of factors including an aging demographic and economic hardship. “The hard part is getting younger people to be exposed

to it and hear it and come out and enjoy it and when they do come out they enjoy it.” Kozak explained. “The overall crowd is getting older and sort of more settled ... a lot of the people have moved out of the suburbs and are not so close to downtown anymore.” Another factor has also been a lack of venues and increased touring costs. “Bands used to be able to jump in a van and go out for a couple months and there were

lots of places you could play,” Kozak said. He suggests that because of Vancouver’s geographical location there are fewer places to play than there are in places such as Alberta. “For us here, you can play the Lower Mainland or we can go to the Island. Then it is basically like one or two venues from here to the Rocky Mountains,” Kozak explained. Given Vancouver’s close proximity to Washington and Oregon, it would make more sense to tour those states. However, it isn’t as simple as getting in a van and driving across the border. “That really is a challenge too because of the whole work permit issue,” Kozak said. “If you go down to play a festival then it is not so difficult but you still have to jump through a lot of hoops and there is a lot of paperwork and money that you have put up.” In fact, Canadian musicians wanting to perform in the U.S. must apply for a visa through the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, which can cost upwards of $325. “As far going down and legally trying to play clubs it is really a challenge,” Kozak said. Fortunately, Kozak has noticed an recent increase in people attending live blues shows in the Vancouver area. “Just when I thought things were on the downturn, it seems since the new year that things are really starting to pick up,” he said.

Nanaimo News Bulletin B3

Opportunities abound for opera singer

SOPRANO HEADED to san Diego.

By Nicholas Pescod The News BulleTiN

Soprano singer Hillary Jean Young has accomplished quite a lot despite her age. The 22-year-old has already completed her masters degree, performed in multiple European countries and received numerous awards. On Saturday (Aug. 23) Young, along with mezzo-soprano Heather Molloy, will be performing selections from Mozart, Bellini, Strauss and others at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. “I am really excited to be involved with Opera Nanaimo as a whole,” Young said. “It really seems like it is a really great up-and-coming company on the Island and I think that is really great. They are trying to get some more opportunities for opera lovers out there.” Young was born in Grand Forks, B.C., and became involved with opera and music at an early age.

October 13 – December 15, 2004

When Young was 16 years old she began her post-secondary studies at Camosun College and then attended the University of British Columbia’s voice performance program, graduating in 2012. “UBC’s program is really great because there is a ton of oppor tunities for performance of all kinds,” she said.

Quickfacts HILLARY JEAN YOUNG is a recipient of the Catherine Cooke Topping Memorial Medal.

“I studied with Nancy Hermiston, who is also the head of the department, and she always had my best interest in mind. Not just vocally, but for my career and giving me as many opportunities as possible.” Young has previously performed to crowds in the Czech

Republic and Italy. “I think it is so important to go back to the birthplace of opera as a young singer,” Young said about performing in Italy. “It gives you a new perspective. Although singing in North America is amazing, it is kind of recognized differently in Europe. It [opera] has such a long and rich history and it gives you a new perspective for sure.” Young is gearing up to complete a Doctor of Musical Arts in Contemporary Music Performance at the University of California-San Diego. “Twentieth- and 21st-century music is something I am so passionate about,” Young said. “It’s something I am looking forward to specializing in and diving into. I’ve had the luxury of being able to do a voice undergrad, an opera masters and now I get to do a contemporary music doctorate.” She will attend UCSD

Comedy deals with the in-laws By Nicholas Pescod The News BulleTiN

When Les Kurkendaal moved to Los Angeles two decades ago, he thought he would instantly realize his dream of becoming a big time movie star. “Well, it didn’t work out that way,” Kurkendaal said, laughing. “It didn’t go the way that I planned it but I loved the way that it ended up because I learned how to create my own work and I learned how to write.” Instead of becoming a movie star, Kurkendaal has gone to become a respected comedian, writer and storyteller, who has travelled the world performing his oneman shows at various fringe festivals. “I’ve received a lot of great opportunities by travelling and doing different theatre festivals,” Kurkendaal said. This weekend, Kurkendaal will be performing his one-man comedy, Christmas in Bakersfield at the Nanaimo Fringe Festival. “I am definitely nervous,” Kurkendaal said about performing in Canada. “But then I’ve done the show in other coun-

tries before. I’ve done the show in Ireland and it actually went over very well.” This is the final weekend of the fringe festival, which features a number of productions including Danny and the Deep Blue Sea, Muse, Dancing with Fish, When the Stars are Right and Square. The premise behind Christmas in Bakersfield is about a white man who brings his black boyfriend to his parent’s place in Bakersfield, Calif. “Bakersfield is like this totally rightwing conser vative city,” Kurkendaal explained. “He brings me home to meet his parents, but he forgets to tell his parents that I am black. The fact that I was another man didn’t affect them, but the fact that I am black

Tour the Northwest’s high country in a Highlander by Bob McHugh

ibly popular, once again, because they come with AWD and the closest competitors do not. The WRX is all about is providing a sporty drive and now it is available to a wider range of buyers thanks to a new automatic transmission. Subaru wants to sell more cars, not less, and by adding an automatic for a generation of buyers who might not know how to drive stick, is a major step. This is not your average automatic, it is a continuously variable transmission that has one gear but the ratio of the gear is changed. This, along with the standard 2.0L four-cylinder turbo with 268hp, produces a surprising snap at all speeds. To read more, please visit www.drivewaybc.ca.

engine, a high torque electric motor-generator and powerful traction battery. It boasts 10 additional horsepower (280 net horsepower) over the gas-only model, yet uses almost 30 per cent less fuel. Although Toyota has done an admirable job of masking it, Highlander hybrid is a weighty (2,200-kilogram) vehicle, and has the usual characteristics of a heavy vehicle. It’s more than fine in a straight line and while handling is laudably predictable, it didn’t seem to like being tossed around on the twisty sections of the highway. Then again, that’s the norm in this class of vehicle.

OUR FACTORY EVENT IS ON OVERTIME.

Your kids watch how you love their mother

Subaru has been on a tear over the last few years, selling more and more vehicles to Canadians who like the idea of owning a Japanese-engineered allwheel-drive car. AWD is the secret sauce. We live in a country with inclement weather and the trend is to AWD as people experience it and want it in their next vehicle. If a car is offered with front-wheel drive (FWD) or AWD, most people will go for the latter. Subaru provides this as standard equipment on all its cars, except the sporty BRZ that was co-developed with Toyota. Subaru then layers on more power and sporty features into their compact car, the Impreza, to develop the WRX and WRX STI rally-inspired cars. #15 These have been incred-

Baker Highway starts in Bellingham, winds east through a number of small communities and offers some interesting side tours along the way, before it climbs steeply and ends at Artist Point with spectacular panoramic views, plus a selection of great hiking trails. The highway crosses the Nooksack River at Nugent’s Corner and tracks east, alongside the north fork of the river, through old growth areas in the Mount Baker Snoqualmie National Forest. Allow about an hour and a half of leisurely drive time in each direction. The Hybrid Synergy Drive system in Highlander uses a 3.5L Atkinson Cycle V6 gas

lander looked like an SUV, with an angular two-box design. Its styling lines have softened with successive redesigns and now if you put Highlander beside its Camrybased wagon sibling, the Venza, you need a second look to tell them apart. Not sure if that’s a good thing, but I do like its more car-like driving dynamics. Not far south of the Canadian border, Mount Baker is a glacier-covered mountain that rises 3,286 metres above sea level. Mount Baker is also regarded as the second most active volcano in the Cascade Mountain Range, after Mount St. Helens, but there’s been nary a puff since 1880.The Mount

The Toyota Highlander can take motorists to pretty places.

On a muggy, scorching hot summer’s day, what better vehicle than the aptly named Highlander for a highaltitude scenic drive to find some cool, crisp mountain air and sink a foot in a glacier. All-new for 2014, Highlander Hybrid is the fuel-efficient and eco-friendlier version of what Toyota describes as its mid-sized SUV, but it sure looks and feels bigger than most in this class, plus it can seat up to seven (or eight). Wider and longer than last year, this Highlander is also lower and, more importantly from a driving perspective, it has a lower centre of gravity. There was a time when High-

Be at one with your vehicle

by Alexandra Straub

Bryan Hourt, Acura’s assistant large project leader of vehicle performance, tells of his upbringing on a ranch in Nebraska. Appropriately, he talks about horsepower. He explains that when you connect with the animal, getting on with life’s daily tasks is so much easier.

Land Rover at home on back roads by Ian Harwood

The Land Rover LR4 was not what I was expecting, instead it was a pleasant surprised. I’m used to seeing bulky and cumbersome old Land Rovers on the back roads, spinning out rocks while attempting a hill climb and shaking the occupants to bits! Fast forward to today’s version of the Land Rover and you will find an outstanding front end that is easily recognized with the signature grille and projector style headlights. Also feature are those trend setting side vents on the front fenders, much copied in the aftermarket. And the large rear glass panels that extend up into the roof line make the overall appearance very clean looking and unique. My first impression after climbing into the cab was one of disbelief. I did not expect that level of comfort. The sight lines are amazing and the blind spot was almost non-existent. The rear seats had plenty of room for adults and the cargo area was adequate. The leather-wrapped steering wheel featured all the controls one needed to operate the equipment without distraction. The front and rear seats are heated. Power tilt/slide front sunroof and two sections of glass covering the roof area over the second and third row seats allow plenty of natural light in. The engine is a 340hp 3.0 litre supercharged V6 coupled with an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission. This transmission features command shift and sport mode that actively responds to your driving habits and road conditions by reconfiguring the shift patterns for optimum drivability in all situations.

If you’re out of sync with your horse, you have to work twice as hard at what you’re doing since you have to think for both yourself and it. In one situation, you enjoy yourself and get more done without having to micromanage. In another, it’s just exhausting. The latter of the two can be likened to driving. If you’re in a car that you don’t connect with, everyday routine can be even more arduous than it has to be. Its quirks rub you the wrong way. All the time. But, if you love your car, if you know exactly what it’s

going to do in any given situation, and you trust it, life on the road is so much better. Enter the 2015 Acura TLX. It blends another type of horsepower, with grace and poise. When I slipped inside the cabin of the all-new TLX, pushed the start button, then selected the ‘D’ button on the centre console, and drove off, confidence was apparent from the get go. It’s a vehicle that was designed with performance in mind from the ground up. Furthermore, its chassis features a newly designed four-wheel independent

suspension system, a great system to help you enjoy the country roads in Middleburg, Virginia, or in the chaos of urban life. It’s tame at slower speeds – it has very good table manners – but has the ability to take on higher speed challenges without breaking a sweat. I might have taken a corner or two relatively swiftly, but the steering feel, and its ability to maintain composure in a turn was quite impressive. Read more at www.drivewaybc.ca.

The Acura TLX moves motorists smartly and confidently.

Two cedar trees harvested in the Nuuchah-nulth First Nations territory on Vancouver Island’s west coast have been donated by TimberWest to Vancouver Island University’s totem pole project. The donated cedars were delivered by the Island-based forest company to VIU’s G.R.

Beefs & bouquets BOUQUET To the fellow Mazda driver who surprised me by buying my coffee at Country Club Starbucks drive-thru in July. What a wonderful way to start my morning. BEEF To the stores that ad match. When a store has a lower price, I will shop at that store and avoid the one that ad matches. BOUQUET To David Jones of Smoke ‘n’ Water restaurant for having the courage to buck the trend by introducing the first non-tipping concept for his restaurant. Finally an owner that understands and appreciates how hard servers and cooks work to serve the public. BEEF To management. If anyone had a problem to report the incident to the office, it has fallen on deaf ears. How sad can it be when a tenant deems it necessary to verbally threaten a senior citizen with bodily injury? The cops only arrive after the dust settles. BOUQUET To Damstrom Construction: Ty, Dillon, Josh, Calvin and the rest of the crew for the exceptional job you guys did on the exterior of my house to make it look so great. It looks better than it ever did. The experience was pleasant; you went the extra mile to accommodate my requests. BEEF To the city. What is with the garbage men taking all the blue bags? I’m aware that there were changes to the recycle program but the bags are still usable. Now what do I put my recyclables in? BOUQUET To my mom Delores for all her love and support. I love you so much and want you to know that I am here for you during your hard time and I am thinking and praying for you. Love your daughter and family. BEEF To the city for allowing stairs in the middle of a sidewalk downtown. I witnessed an elderly lady almost get hit trying to get around the stairs on the highway. There are also no signs warning of the stairs.

BOUQUET To Nanaimo Regional General Hospital’s sixth floor nurses and care aides. The majority of you were nothing less than amazing while I stayed there. Special thanks to Joanne, you’ll be a great nurse. BEEF To the city’s green bin collectors for spilling a slurry of rotted food all over the streets in Cinnabar Valley. In this heat it smells like something died out here, and no rain in sight to wash it away. BOUQUET To the perinatal staff at NRGH. Your experience, care, and encouragement helped my daughter Allyson through a very long and difficult labour. The many nurses and doctors who assisted her through labour and birthing are to be commended. The resounding cheer that rose when ‘Peanut’ finally arrived is something I will never forget. BEEF I want to thank you for coming into my work and trying to make me the issue. Everyone now will look at you as the crazy lady.

BOUQUET To the young couple with the sweet dog in the Canadian Tire parking lot. After this silly woman did not take into account the size of her purchased paddle pool and was struggling to fit it into her under-sized car, your offer to help was a godsend. I got the pool home safely and our pooches and kiddles are enjoying it immensely. BEEF To black jujubes. Why do you have to be so gross? And to the candy companies for putting them in the bag to begin with. While I’m at it, a beef to wasps and flies. Buzz off – you suck, too. BOUQUET To Andre Rieu for his concert at our Galaxy Theatre. It was a show of extreme happiness. BEEF To transit service in Nanaimo. You take away the school runs in the summer, but there are still classes going on at VIU and summer schools, plus lots of day camps using the buses. Please consider keeping the school runs all year long.

BOUQUET To Donna who gave my best friend and her girls a summer getaway that they so deserve. I have never met you, but from what I hear, if more people were like you in this world it would be a better place. BEEF To the owner of the black truck driving down Victoria Road around 11 p.m. That thump you heard around the bus stop was our family pet. You didn’t even stop and left two very upset kids to see the end. BOUQUET To the person who made the decision to remove the candy machines out of the rec centres. It is nice to have relief from the incessant begging by my kids during our frequent visits in pursuit of fitness. BEEF Why are there still so many hungry and under-priviledged children in the small community of such wealthy adults? The children are your future. Time to share your wealth.

Diabetes Care Centre Injection Pharmacist on-site Must bring coupon to the pharmacy

BEEF To the people who moved our chairs at the Symphony in the Park. We put them out there hours prior so we would have a good view. Came back after a walk and found them thrown down behind their own chairs. BOUQUET To the coaches of the Nanaimo White Rapids summer swim club. Your energy, enthusiasm and positive influences inspire our children. Head coaches Byron and Michelle are inspiring and forever smiling. Good luck at provincials. BEEF To the city for changing the curbside recycling program. I can’t believe the list of items they are not taking. I had to go to the recycling exchange to drop off stuff the curbside guy said they don’t take, only to find out they don’t take it there, either. I came home and put it all in the trash can. BOUQUET To the neighbours on McRobb Avenue who came to my husband’s aid after his motorcycle spill last month. From the nurse and paramedic who came out to help, the lady who called 911, those who brought wet cloths and umbrellas to keep off the sun and those who offered to keep his motorcycle until we could come back for it, we extend our thanks. BEEF To myself for not taking the advice of Mike Holmes and letting our realtor suggest a home inspector. It was great that he found little caulking near our bathtubs but missed or neglected to advise on far more pressing issues. Buyer beware and research your own inspector.

HELP SOLVE THESE CRIMES SUSPECT IN ATTEMPTED ABDUCTION

This male is allegedly responsible for attempting to abduct a female from her car after she refused his offer to go with him for a coffee. Nanaimo RCMP has released a composite sketch of a suspect male involved in an attempted abduction of a female on Thursday July 31st. At approximately 7 pm a 44 year female, driving and older model Ford Escort was travelling north bound along Brechin Rd when she stopped for a red light at the intersection of Brechin and Highway 19a. Next to her an older model, late 90’s Ford F150 with no canopy, pulled up beside her. The driver of the truck, who was unknown to her, yelled something in her direction but she chose to ignore him. She continued north bound along Highway 19a and noticed the same truck now following her. The male was also honking his horn and flashing his lights. Thinking there may be a problem with her vehicle, she pulled in to the slow lane just north of the Rock City Plaza at Wendy’s restaurant. The male then cut his truck out in front of her forcing her to pull over and stop. He walked back to her driver’s door and said ” I want to take you for coffee” She ignored him and was beginning to power up her window, when he reached in, grabbed her by her left arm and attempted to pull her out the window. She powered up her window and with him still holding onto her arm, sped off. This broke his grip and she raced north bound, turning left onto Rutherford Rd then onto Metral Drive. She looked back several times but did not see him again. Once home she immediately called 911. She was left with bruising on her arm and was traumatized by her ordeal. Victim Services were called and are assisting her. A description of the male is as follows: · white , 40’s, good looking with an athletic build · salt and pepper hair worn in a military style cut · pale, clean shaven,light coloured eyes · high pitched voice, like that of a teenager · cleft shin and white mark on the bridge of nose, similar to a scar · white t-shirt with a dragon symbol · metal banded watch on his left wrist “Traffic was moderate at the time but we are confident someone travelling along the highway would have noticed the vehicles stopping and some of the exchange between the two. We are asking anyone who witnessed anything to contact us immediately,” said Constable Gary O’Brien. If you have any information on this incident or the suspect male, please contact the Cst Sean Zeigler of the Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345, or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
