Roots of all evil
City utilities workers Bill Fraser, left, and Ken McDonald pry a storm drainage pipe into alignment after replacing a section that had become clogged with a root ball at the corner of Commercial and Bastion streets Monday. The work is part of pre-winter preventative maintenance the city does to help keep storm drains clear during heavy rains and snow melt. CHRIS BUSH THE NEWS BULLETIN
Lantzville candidates target water deal
I
SOME COUNCIL hopefuls want to talk new terms.
BY TAMARA CUNNINGHAM THE NEWS BULLETIN
Two months after Lantzville signed a water agreement with Nanaimo, election candidates are talking about making changes. Lantzville election candidates are divided on how to move forward on a new water-supply agreement. At least three contenders are interested in talking to Nanaimo about amendments to the deal, while others want to see public
consultation, a chance to consider elements of the document, and action. The 20-year deal was inked last September after more than a year of negotiations between the district and City of Nanaimo. It will see city water pumped to 225 homes in upper Lantzville – a move anticipated to free up connections to the district’s own water system – and would allow for 50 new development hookups each year. Another 211 homes on private wells have the potential to gain access in the future. But not all candidates are satisfied with the way the agreement stands and would want to see changes
if elected, including where the water flows to. Incumbent candidate Coun. Denise Haime said in an online questionnaire that the agreement as it’s written is “structurally flawed” and needs to be addressed to make it workable for all residents. She’d propose amendments to Nanaimo, as would council contender Doug Parkhurst, who says connections should go to lower, not upper Lantzville where the district can bring development and revitalization. “We put water into where it should go so Lantzville can fulfill its own vision of how it wants to grow,” he said.
Mayoral candidate Colin Haime would also look to propose amendments to the contract wording. In an e-mail to the News Bulletin, he said he supports the right water solution, one that supplements the needs of all existing residents on wells at an affordable cost, but “the current agreement fails on both of these points.” His proposed changes would include providing water for “all existing residents on wells” as well as water connections to revitalize the village core and would still respect limitations Nanaimo has put on Lantzville, he said.

Mounties injured while breaking up barroom fight BY CHRIS BUSH THE NEWS BULLETIN
Mounties on Bar Watch patrol saw more than their share of action when a brawl broke out at the Old City Station Pub in downtown Nanaimo Friday. Police entered the establishment just after 11:30 p.m. to do a routine check in the premises, located in the 100 block of Skinner Street, just as a fight broke out that included someone throwing a beer bottle at one of the staff. When the officers attempted to take the alleged bottle thrower into custody, he put up a struggle that involved a second suspect who allegedly jumped into the melee to prevent the police from making the arrest. “During that struggle one of the members was punched in the face and thrown across the room,” said Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman. “[The suspects] were big boys, very aggressive, extremely violent.” One of the officers tried to deploy his Taser during the struggle, which for reasons unknown, proved ineffective. “Additional troops were called in and they eventually subdued the two individuals who were taken into custody,” O’Brien said. Both suspects were released Saturday morning on a promise to appear at Nanaimo provincial court in March, plus other conditions which included not returning to the Old City Station Pub. Both men, ages 23 and 19, from Nanaimo, will likely face numerous charges, including assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest and causing a disturbance. A third suspect, age 23, also allegedly involved with the incident, is potentially facing charges as well. Both officers involved in the initial arrest attempt sustained minor injuries. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

City of Nanaimo:
mayoral candidate
RogeR McKinnon occupation/background:
Business background with experience in real estate, hospitality and hotel management. Community involvement: A past chairman for B.C. Children’s Hospital in Nanaimo, founding member of the Oceanside Rotary Club, founding member of the Vancouver Island University Foundation, past instructor at VIU, chairman of Blair McKinnon Foundation, past chairman of Big Brothers, past president of Vancouver Island Real Estate Board and I was the vice-chairman for Image Nanaimo. Why are you running for public office?
It is evident Nanaimo and its citizens are ready for a change. The critical feeling that is expressed time and again by Nanaimo citizens is that a lack of leadership is the problem with mayor, the current council and within the senior city staff. The result is that Nanaimo is losing out in a number of important areas and the lack of trust is impacting the level of efficiency required to run the city properly. Transparency with the actions of the mayor and council is another area where change is needed. What three priorities are important to you?
Jobs – I will use a creative approach to welcome and encourage new businesses to work with existing ones to make Nanaimo business friendly. The technology field is one of many areas that should be encouraged to bring business here and create more jobs. Budget – There is no fiscal financial leadership at the top as taxes have gone up approximately 23 per cent over the last six years and the city has budgeted an increase of 10.5 per cent over the next three years with no decrease in taxes in sight. New possibilities – I want Nanaimo to entertain all kinds of exciting projects and new tourist attractions to pump up the local economy and create jobs. Think about music festivals, food events, sporting events, and special event shows. How do you plan to manage taxes and spending?
With better financial planning. Running the city like a business. No more large purchases without community input; use local expertise and local consultants. I also intend to work with CUPE to see how we can be more efficient with what we have. What do you think it takes to lead nanaimo?
My leadership style is that of motivating and inspiring a team to be true team players. My past experience in successfully running small, medium and large businesses is also very important.

mayor aNd couNcil candidates outline ideas for century-old structures. By Tamara CuNNiNgham The News bulleTiN
“
Pause the process or work on a resolution to move forward: two Nanaimo mayoral candidates have differing views on the next steps needed on the Colliery dam affair. The solution and cost to address risk posed by Nanaimo’s Colliery dams has fallen to a new council, with no verdict made to remediate the century-old structures. For two years, the City of Nanaimo has grappled with the question of what to do with the dams, spending approximately $2.5 million on short-term mitigation measures and research. While the risk of the structures collapsing during a quake is no longer as high as previously thought, engineers and the B.C. Dam Safety branch continue to highlight the problem of a flood during a major storm event and have advised the city to do something to address it. Until now, council has made no firm decision on remediation and city staff and the Colliery Dam Park Preservation Society, a citizens’ advocate group, remain at loggerheads over potential solutions. Now the city is reviewing a new alternative for remediation involving a swale to Harewood Creek, with a
School trustee candidates aim to address child poverty By Karl yu The News bulleTiN
With Nanaimo’s reputation for high child poverty, a number of prospective school trustees at Tuesday’s all-candidates meeting said it was an issue they hoped to address if elected. The forum followed a speed-campaigning format and candidates set up booths and engaged with the electorate. Trustee candidate Nelson Allen pointed to the high child poverty level in Nanaimo and said teamwork is needed. “We should be finding a way that we can have almost like a summit ... of organizations that are

doing good work in combating poverty and let’s get together and see whether or not there are ways we can improve the delivery service and help to deal with some of the root causes,” he said. Jamie Brennan, incumbent trustee, said a community-wide initiative is needed to deal with family poverty. He said 35 per cent of children in the school district are arriving in kindergarten unprepared. “We can’t do it by ourselves,” said Brennan. “We have to engage with other levels of government, other community partners and non-profit organizations and get working on it. Parents and families can’t be
left to be this hard up and kids can’t be coming to school unprepared.” Candidate Catherine Morley said child poverty is directly related to graduation rates and showing children the value of education is one way to remedy it. “If we can have the teachers really set an example and maybe even have a class taught about how education is a way out of poverty in elementary school so that kids can really build up confidence in school,” she said. Incumbent trustee Terr yLynn Saunders said addressing poverty was a goal of the current board and it did very little to address it.

According to Nanaimo’s city manager Ted Swabey, the two jurisdictions would have to agree to renegotiate. It’s a move that incumbent mayor Jack de Jong said he’s apprehensive about, pointing out that two supporters of the deal on Nanaimo city council aren’t seeking re-election. He also says this is a “really good deal” for the community, listing the 20-year term with an option to extend the agreement and the ability to stop the agreement as examples. “The ball is in our court whether we want to continue with this ... there’s no obligation even in the agreement, but certainly it’s my intent to move ahead and to make use of that agreement,” he said, adding he plans to lay the pipe if elected. Other council candidates have different ideas about next steps forward. Incumbent Coun. Jennifer Millbank said she’d want to see how all the pieces of the agreement fit together, including logistics and cost, as well as see connections freed up in upper Lantzville transferred to the downtown. A lot can be done with 200 connections, she said. Council candidate Warren Griffey is happy the two municipalities agreed to a water agreement, but believes there’s implications like higher density and taxes and wants to see public consultation. John Coulson, who is looking for a seat on council, believes it would be a big mistake to start laying pipes in the ground. He questions whether the agreement has been entered into legally, and wants to take a pause to “truly identify the needs, review the solutions, look at the costs, talk to the residents in a more meaningful fashion … and have a referendum.” news@nanaimobulletin.com

District sells former Five Acres site The Nanaimo school district will be adding approximately $320,000 to its coffers after the sale of the Five Acres school property. The Harbour View Street junior learning alternatives program school was closed in 2013 as part of the district’s 10-year facilities plan. At a meeting Nov. 5, the school board approved the sale to a B.C. company for $345,000, minus commission and fees, according to Donna Reimer, school district spokeswoman. “It’s part of our asset management plan that we’ve been working on to sell properties that we no longer have an educational use for so that we can build up the resources to invest into new facilities,” Reimer said. Phil Turin, school district secretar ytreasurer, said the sale is expected to close at the end of November. The money will be put into an account earmarked for a new N an ai mo D is tr ic t Secondary School. The balance in that account is about $2.8 million, according to Turin. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Most classes within limits By Karl yu The News BulleTiN
A majority of classes within the Nanaimo school district this school year will have 30 students or less. According to the school district, all 148.5 intermediate class divisions have 30 students or less and 174.5 primary class divisions also adhere to class size specifications. In terms of secondary schools, 792.5 classes have 30 students or less and 40 classes, for subjects such as band and theatre, have more than 30 students, but those classes are exempt. The school district said there are 14 stu-
dents with Level 1 special needs, such as physical dependencies or deafness and blindness, which remains unchanged from last year. The number of students with Level 2 special needs, such as moderate to profound intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder, totalled 411, remaining static from 2013. The number of students with Level 3 special needs (intensive behaviour interventions or serious mental illness) dropped to 207 from 220 between 2013-14. Mike Ball, Nanaimo teachers’ union president, said he isn’t satisfied with how students are allocated throughout the
district and it is tied to the long-standing dispute with the province over classsize and composition. He said there are many classes with more than three students with special needs. Teachers will find it impossible to meet all the needs of those pupils, he said. The start of the school year was delayed due to labour action from teachers and Ball said he didn’t think that had an effect on student allocation. He said the new education fund for hiring teachers, which came out of negotiations, only added a minimal amount of money. “Nothing has changed as far as

Delivery company adds 39 jobs in Nanaimo

UPS ExPaNSION in Canada includes distribution centre in harbour City.
Commercial property last undeveloped lot in city’s north end By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN
By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN
Michael Tierney, UPS Canada president, joined the staff at the courier company’s new Nanaimo distribution centre for the morning staff meeting Wednesday. The meeting added coffee, donuts and a ribbon-cutting ceremony to the staff’s regular round of muscle stretching and morning safety advisory announcements when Tierney, regional management and local staff officially opened the company’s newest distribution centre. The facility, located at 425 Madsen Rd., actually started operations in early October and serves the Nanaimo region with 20 delivery trucks and a total of 39 employees. The centre is the eighth UPS distribution centre in B.C. “Really, it’s not much more complicated than our customers have continued to ask us to expand in Canada, which we’ve been doing,” Tierney said. UPS, which started in Seattle in 1907 as the American Messenger Company, now has about 50 distribution outlets across Canada. The company opened a previous distribution centre in Nanaimo in 1989, which was short lived due to slack economic conditions at the
The food bank would keep its current storage room in addition to the new space, which is expected to allow it to accept more donations and attract more partners for its food recovery program. Loaves and Fishes wants to secure its funding by the end of December and has raised $12,000 in community donations so far. Mayor John Ruttan told the News Bulletin he sees the food bank as a necessary service and has no doubt some kind of grant or funding from the city will take place. “They are looking for financial assistance in trying to secure a larger premise and that’s what the city is looking at,” he said.
What is being described as north Nanaimo’s last large piece of undeveloped commercial property is up for sale. Colliers International listed the 2.5-hectare property last week. The property, shaped sort of like a stubby knife blade, is tucked in between the two main traffic arteries through Nanaimo, to the north of the Michaels arts and crafts store. “It’s one of the last raw pieces of land,” said Bill Corsan, city manager of real estate. By “raw,” Corson means the land has never had any prior development on it, but there have been past proposals. “At one point it was going to be some large-format retail, at another point there was going to be a hotel there,” Corsan said. “So we’ll see what the next person wants to do. Maybe a combination of the two.” Jason Winton, Colliers vice-president and managing broker for the mid-Island region, said the acreage, which is currently owned in a joint venture between investor groups in Nanaimo and the Lower Mainland and priced at $5.9 million, was listed nationally Tuesday and has already generated interest from potential buyers across Canada, but as of last week there had been no firm offers. “I would say at this stage of the game it’s very early interest, but a site like that, situated on two major arterials – major highways – is going to get quite a bit of interest from commercial developers, especially on the Lower Mainland,” Winton said. “We’re in initial talks with a few of them right now, giving them more information that they’re requesting.” Even if a developer purchased the property right away, it could take up to two years before construction might start. Then again, with no other land parcels of that size already zoned and ready for commercial development, a corporate tenant might want to start building as soon as all city development requirements can be met. “You just never know when a tenant’s going to show up,” Winton said. “We were surprised when Cabela’s came in … That was handled out of Vancouver and we were all sort of surprised by it.” Winton and Corsan said they had not heard of any interest for alternative uses of the land, such as the creation of a park, but Corsan said that would be unlikely given its location and that there was already lots of parkland, such as May Richards Bennett Pioneer Park, nearby.

time. Until October, UPS contracted other carriers to make its deliveries in Nanaimo. The new Nanaimo distribution centre allows the company to operate more efficiently. “Part of us coming to Nanaimo is we will have more control over things so we can improve time in transit and delivery, certainly on the Island where we’ve begun connecting the dots from Campbell River down to Victoria,” said
David Mason, B.C. division manager. “So we can provide better times in transit into and out of the Island. Those are key areas we’ve been able to improve in.” Mason said business has already exceeded company projections for the Nanaimo centre. “We have even more that we plan to do once we get sort of settled here; we’re going to be heading into our busiest season,” Mason said. photos@nanaimobulletin.com
Council considers help for food bank warehouse By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN
Nanaimo city officials will consider funding an expansion for Loaves and Fishes Community Food Bank, which has seen food stockpiles outgrow its storage capacity. City council agreed to look at financing the food bank and its expansion into a warehouse more than 10 times its current size. According to Loaves and Fishes, its 500-square foot storeroom has become jam packed with food stockpiles, no longer large enough to accommodate both donations and the volunteers who sort and distribute them. Food is moved outside under awnings and tarps during the
day to allow people to work. Alex Counsell, food bank operations manager, says it’s not an ideal situation. The organization is now looking to raise $550,000 to buy a larger warehouse on Fry Street, which would not only give it more room to store and handle food, but expand its offerings. It’s asking the City of Nanaimo for $4,000 a month in ongoing operational funding, or $275,000 over two years – half the cost of the new building. “The community has been so generous to us in terms of the food that we have coming through our facility that we simply don’t have the room to sort, store and distribute it all. Right now we are working out of a 500-square-

foot warehouse which every night is completely full,” said executive director Peter Sinclair, adding more volunteer and paid staff time goes into handling the food as it’s moved in and out of the facility. “It’s not good, the situation we are in, and we need a solution and we’ve clearly got one before us.” The local food bank, which served more than 7,000 people in the past year, is in negotiation for what would be a “proper warehouse,” according to Sinclair, who says it’ll eventually allow Loaves and Fishes to open 35 hours a week up from 16, and set up food stations to allow clients to choose the food they want – something there’s not room for currently. People get prepackaged bags.

EDITORIAL
Remembrance holds meaning
This Remembrance Day, we wear our poppies and we remember. Today (Nov. 11), we remember those who fought for us. We remember those who fought not only for the rights and freedoms of Canadians, but for the rights and freedoms of humanity. A poppy, a moment of silence, a ‘thank you,’ none of this could ever be enough, but then again, sometimes certain words and gestures can carry infinite depth and meaning. And these sentiments will come all at once today in Canada, from coast to coast to coast, as we stand at Remembrance Day ceremonies with our poppies close to our hearts. It may be hard for many of us today to truly appreciate the sacrifices made by our soldiers, but when it is time for a moment of silence, we will take that moment to try to remember. If we can’t remember, maybe we will try to imagine, and if we do, our mind’s eye will show us courage and character. We will see the sort of heroes and heroines that the world needed then, needs now, and will always need. The News Bulletin published a special Remembrance Day section last week, which told the tales of some of Nanaimo’s fighting men and women, their adventures and their exploits, their successes and their challenges, their lives, their deaths. Our veterans tell fascinating, frank, foreign stories, of stuffing powder into bullets, hearing a barrage of buzz bombs, piloting through hostile skies. These are recollections of war that was half a world away then, war that feels even farther away now. It’s a fine pastime, we suppose, to gather round and swap old war stories. But maybe the best thing about war stories is that they made it possible for us, now, to tell peace stories. On Remembrance Day, let us honour our veterans and look back at those war stories, and then look forward, to peace stories yet unwritten.

Consolidating the terminals at Duke Point might make financial sense, but a significant investment in infrastructure and transit would be required to even get the plan off the drawing board. But at least we could’ve had that discussion. Instead, the company releases a major strategic document with little to no plan to communicate the issues raised to the travelling public. The Vancouver Sun broke the story, leaving the company and the government to play catch up on their own message. To quell the outrage, the provincial government acted in usual form and shut down discussion before it could even begin. Had the company and the government presented the report up front, back in September when it was originally released, it could have opened up a wide-ranging consultation with ferry users and presented radical ideas never before considered. But the reaction essentially slammed the door on any radical thinking when it comes to B.C. Ferries. Playing politics has done a greater disservice to coastal British Columbians than summer sailing waits ever could. editor@nanaimobulletin.com

Rights, freedoms are election issue To the Editor,
To the Editor,
Re: Ferry scheme unacceptable, Editorial, Nov. 6. The proposed termination of the Departure Bay-Horseshoe Bay ferry route was such a bad idea on so many levels that one hardly knows where to begin. Perhaps a good place to start is with the basic unfairness of the proposal. Our route and the Tsawwassen-Schwartz Bay route are profitable, and revenues earned on these routes are used to subsidize the fares paid on all the other, non-profitable, routes. In other words, users of the Departure Bay route have, for years on end, had to pay higher fares in order to assist ferry users on other routes (rather than, oh, I don’t know, pay for Horseshoe Bay terminal upgrades). But when our route needs assistance for a terminal upgrade (that our route prob-
ably could have paid for on its own but for the need to subsidize other routes), the preferred option was to throw our service overboard so that B.C. Ferries with all of its subsidized routes could stay afloat. Now that government has, obviously, deep-sixed this idea, B.C. Ferries is howling for further fare increases (as was probably the plan all along) to cover the Horseshoe Bay terminal upgrade. Well, if Horseshoe Bay-Departure Bay ferry users can pay ever-increasing fares to subsidize other ferry users, then B.C. Ferries needs to ensure that these terminal upgrade expenses are distributed equally among all ferry routes. Or, better yet, exempt our route from having to subsidize other routes until we pay for the upgrade on our own.

Country’s democratic process flawed To the Editor,
Re: Get informed, then cast vote, Editorial, Oct. 23. By all means get informed. Then you will find that not one single elected or appointed official in Canada swears an oath pledging allegiance of any kind to the citizens of this country. You will find that more and more laws are being passed by ‘orders
in council’ with absolutely no parliamentary debate. You will discover that our Elections Acts do not mandate any minimum voter turnout in order to validate an election result. We are a few orders-incouncil pen strokes away from complete fascism. During the next federal and provincial elections, perhaps our collec-
tive energy would be better spent not voting, but rather by making a personal appearance at our local constituency offices and making it clear that we will not return to the polls until our leaders advocate to bring democratic process back to the people, where it belongs.

Council buckles to hotel’s pressure To the Editor,
Re: Rezoning approved at Hilton hotel site, Oct. 30. I see our esteemed mayor and city council have once again buckled to pressure from the Hilton Hotel group and have decided by a 7-2 vote to rezone the new hotel site, allowing for the hotel size to be increased to 35 storeys. By pressure, I mean the threat Hilton Hotels has apparently made when they said give us what we want or we will take all our marbles and go home. Oh yes, don’t forget about the Georgia Park giveaway. Why is it so difficult for council to stand up to these people? Have they no intestinal fortitude? I personally have made a note of councillors who have approved the rezoning and also have made note of the ones who stood their ground. I am taking the list to the polling station on Nov. 15.

Gas stations gouging drivers To the Editor,
With today’s oil prices at a four-year low and predicted to go even lower, why is it that the Nanaimo prices at the pumps don’t go down proportionally? Prices in Courtenay and also Victoria area were down. This is a clear case of gouging; it’s obvious that there is a consortium of business
people in and around Nanaimo reponsible for this gouging. It’s time we all started to boycott the gas companies that have numerous gas stations and support the small companies. Higher gas prices means a higher cost of living, not to mention the principle of it all.

I would therefore ask that everyone make the effort to vote in the Nanaimo civic election on Nov. 15, to maintain our charter rights. I would also ask that before casting your vote, you will recall when eight out of nine council members voted to take away the democratic rights of all Canadians under the guise of political correctness.

B.C. Ferries chooses to subsidize unprofitable routes rather than put money away for terminal upgrades, points out letter writer.
This is a special time of year when we remember the sacrifices that have been made to ensure that all Canadians are able to enjoy our lives subject to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. I believe that with those rights, we all have an obligation to those who have made these sacrifices to ensure that these rights and freedoms are not diminished or taken away from us.

In fact, the award-winning musical is probably best suited for adults, although teenagers are more than welcome to attend. “It is definitely the Broadway show for adults. You are going to see fullfrontal puppet nudity,” said lead cast member Jeremy Crittenden. “We’re going to laugh about racism and sex and porn.” Avenue Q, which runs this weekend at the Port Theatre, focuses on the life of Princeton, a recent English graduate who moves to New York City. “He’s trying to find his purpose in life,” said Crittenden, who plays Princeton. “He’s moved to the big city,

(Nov. 12) the two symphonies will be performing Lest We Forget, a concert that pays tribute to the sacrifices made by Canadian soldiers during the war. The Canadian Scottish Regiment Pipe and Drum Band will accompany the two symphonies for the concert, which takes place at the Port Theatre. The concert will be conducted by Tania Miller and also features Geoffrey Sirett on the baritone and violinist Terence Tam. In addition to the music, the concert will feature an exhibit by Canadian Letters and Images Project,

TILLAPAUGH, Lyle Melvin July 5, 1927 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; October 31, 2014
It is with profound sadness that we announce Lyleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passing on October 31, 2014. Lyle will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 65 years, Jean, their five children, Sandy (Jim) Robertson, Don (Inger), Bruce (Elizabeth), Brian and Rick (Colleen), 9 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren and many other wonderful friends and family. Lyle was predeceased by his parents, Jack and Edna, his brother, Alden, his sister, Norah and his daughter in law, Valerie Funk. Lyle was born on a farm at Hamlin, Alberta, where the family lived until moving to Armstrong, BC in 1941. He graduated from high school in 1945 and in 1947 Lyle joined the Royal Canadian Navy where he served proudly for 30 years. On his first night â&#x20AC;&#x153;ashoreâ&#x20AC;? in Victoria he met Jean Corner at a dance. She became the love of his life and they were married in 1949. After the navy, Lyle was employed by the Nanaimo School Board, retiring in 1987. Lyle was inspirational to all who knew him, especially his family with whom he held a special bond and they will all miss him dearly. He had a quick wit and impish sense of humour. Lyle was an avid outdoorsman and passed on his love of camping and fishing to all his kids and grandchildren.

VIU b-ball beats tough opponents BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
GREG SAKAKI/THE NEWS BULLETIN
Nanaimo Clippers forward Jake Jackson, middle, splits the Penticton Vees defence before going in alone to score the game-winning goal Saturday night at Frank Crane Arena. The home team defeated the B.C. Hockey League-leading visitors by a 3-2 score in overtime.
Clippers beat league’s best I TEAM EDGES league-leading Vees 3-2 in OT. BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
In a benchmark game, the Nanaimo Clippers showed they’re among the league’s best. The Clips defeated the Penticton Vees 3-2 in overtime on Saturday at Frank Crane Arena in a matchup of the B.C. Hockey League’s top two teams. “It’s a pretty big boost, I’d say…” said Mike Vandekamp, Clippers coach. “At the 20-game mark of the season, it’s a benchmark game. Now we can kind of say, ‘OK, we know we can beat anyone’ and you probably raise your expectations.” The Shipmen didn’t expect it to be easy against the Vees, and it wasn’t. The home team ran into significant penalty trouble, including a late four-minute penalty that allowed the visitors to force overtime.
GREG SAKAKI/THE NEWS BULLETIN
Nanaimo Clippers forward Brendan Taylor, left, is checked by Penticton Vees opponent Riley Alfred during Saturday night’s game at Frank Crane Arena.
In OT, however, the Clippers killed off the remainder of the penalty and then on the very next shift, Jake Jackson split the defence and scored the winning goal. “We didn’t let them get any momentum going,” Jackson said. “Even after they scored some goals, we came back and put the pres-
sure on, every time.” There was no scoring in the first or second periods. The Vees finally broke the ice on the power play six and a half minutes into the third period, but the Clippers’ Sheldon Rempal tied it up 30 seconds later. Nanaimo went ahead with four and a half minutes left on a Nick Gushue goal
before Penticton tied it with the goalie pulled. Vandekamp said his team played a good, structured game. “We were prepared and I thought we stuck to the game plan pretty well, as did they, and it’s the type of hockey that you’ll see when two good teams play each other,” the coach said.
Raise money what matters to you.
Jackson said going into Saturday’s tilt, “it was in the back of everybody’s mind” that the top team was coming to town, but said the goal was the same as always, to get the two points. That’s what they did. “It’s going to keep us rolling,” he said. “We’ve got to come back and work every game. Penticton’s great, but there’s a lot of other quality teams in the league and we have to come back and play every single game.” Guillaume Decelles made 40 stops for the win. He also earned the win in net the night before as the Clippers came back to beat the Alberni Valley Bulldogs 5-4 in overtime. Brendan Taylor scored twice in that game, including the game winner, and Ryan Forbes, Brett Roulston and Jackson were other scorers. GAME ON … The Clippers host the Bulldogs on Friday (Nov. 14) at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena, then host the Chilliwack Chiefs on Sunday at 2 p.m. sports@nanaimobulletin.com
The VIU Mariners accomplished a rare feat this weekend – they beat the Langara Falcons. Vancouver Island University’s men’s basketball team won two games on the road this past weekend, including a 77-70 victory Saturday over a perennial powerhouse in the Pacific Western Athletic Association. The Falcons had given the M’s fits over the past two seasons.
“
We had a lot of contributions from different guys.
“It was kind of nice, being 0-8 against them, to finally get a win,” said Matt Kuzminski, VIU coach. “Obviously the personnels are different on both teams from previous years, but nevertheless.” He said his guys executed the game plan, getting deeper into their offence and slowing down the home team’s fast break. “The game went back and forth with multiple lead changes and ties,” Kuzminski said. “We had a lot of contributions from different guys and some bench guys really stepped up for us, so it was a good allaround team win.” Justin King scored 30 points and pulled down eight rebounds and Jason Fortin added 13 points and nine rebounds.

JR. B hockey team ends four-game skid with 5-1 win. BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN
The Nanaimo Buccaneers hope that an outburst of offence will help them turn their game around. The Bucs scored four thirdperiod goals and beat the Peninsula Panthers by a 5-1 score Thursday at the Nanaimo Ice Centre. The win halted a fourgame losing streak in Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League play. “We had a little slow bit there. Now we’ll probably get back on our feet here,” said Jared Fedosoff, team captain. All the goals in the third period were the reward for a night’s work – the Bucs had a slow start in the first period, but played hungry the rest of the game, said coach Derek Bachynski. “We’ve just got to keep it simple, we’ve got to get pucks deep, work hard and get puck possession down low. We can’t be too fancy with the puck,” said Bachynski. “We’re a hard-working bunch and when we play that way, we’re successful.” Jordan Levesque, Robert

The Nanaimo Buccaneers will look to new captain Jared Fedosoff to help steer the ship the rest of the way. “It means a lot, being in my first year with the team,” said the Nanaimoite. “We’re a really good team here; we’re a really loose group.

M’s fall in thrilling final
I
MEN’S TEAM earns silver at nationals.
BY GREG SAKAKI ThE NEWS BULLETIN
The VIU Mariners lost by the slimmest of margins in the most thrilling of finals. Vancouver Island University’s men’s soccer team earned silver medals this past weekend at the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association championships in Oakville, Ont., after losing to the host Sheridan Bruins in penalty kicks at the end of a 4-4 goldmedal match Saturday. Bill Merriman, Mariners coach, said the next day that his players are content with silver. “They didn’t make a lot of mistakes, they couldn’t change what happened and they played probably one of the best finals you’re ever going to see,” he said. The M’s are perennial contenders and the Bruins were built to be nationalcalibre, and with a championship on the line, the two teams went toe-to-toe. “They were a very good team,” Merriman said. “Our plan [was] to get at them quickly on the counterattack because we knew they were an offensively minded team.” The score was 2-2 at half, and Sheridan almost had the game

won before VIU converted a penalty kick in the fourth minute of injury time. The Bruins went ahead in extra time, and again VIU tied it late. Even with the momentum swings and the huge stakes, the Mariners managed to stick to their game plan. “I say play to win, but also play not to lose,” Merriman said. “So that you’re doing the safe things, but you’re still going at the team because if you sit back, you’re just bringing trouble on yourself.” Come the penalty shootout, both teams scored on their first five chances before the Bruins prevailed and
took the championship. The Mariners coach was proud of how his guys always believed they were in the game, no matter the situation. “They worked and were able to come back and fight for whatever they could,” Merriman said. “I think it’s kind of embedded now into VIU, which is really nice.” He said his team reached its peak level at nationals and the players felt that. “You know what? I’m happy,” VIU’s Blaze Roberts told his coach after ward. “That was a very good team we played, and I think we played the best
soccer we could play.” The Mariners started the tourney with a 1-0 win over Holland College on We d n e s d a y. Vi c tor Blasco scored the goal and Scott Brown recorded the shutout. On Thursday, Jamie Taylor and Renan Rebelatto scored goals and Blasco had the shootout winner after a 2-2 game against Algonquin College. In Saturday’s final, Blasco scored twice and Jordan de Graaf and Luke Phye were the other scorers. Aly Adeeb, Blasco and Rebelatto were chosen as tournament all-stars.

Neighbourhood libraries help bind community
I
ProjECT HAS taken off since 2008. By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN
There’s a case to be made that community bookcases springing up around town are binding community with books. The concept is simple: create a small bookcase, place it on a street or alleyway and fill it with books, which neighbours
or any passerby can pick up, read and exchange. The first community bookcase in Nanaimo was set up on Irwin Street in 2008. It was a South End Community Association initiative to get neighbours interacting and foster a sense of community. Since then several more have sprung up. The most recent was Saturday morning when the Brechin Hill Community Association held an opening ceremony for its first

community bookcase on Belford Avenue. Michele Hillier, community literacy outreach coordinator for Nanaimo and Ladysmith, said the concept started in Bonn, Germany, in about 2002, when someone won an award for putting out a quirky little case with free books. “In 2009, Little Free Library, which is in the [U.S.], was formed and there’s at least 15,000 people who are members of that,” Hillier said.

There are currently six community bookcases set up around Nanaimo. All community bookcases are handmade and unique. The book exchange works strictly on a give-a-book, take-abook honour system.

PARKS AND REC offers variety.
a great time to mix up my workouts, get creative and even try some new activities that will keep me healthy and chase away those winter blues. Here are a few tips that have helped me:
programs for every age and ability. Try a new yoga or other fitness class. I have recently started incorporating some boot camp-style exercises into my routine and I am loving it. Get creative at home – Going outside
Change my perspective – Instead of com-
or to the gym can be inconvenient, but you can always do a workout at home. Invest in a few pieces of fitness equipment, like hand weights or fitness bands, and you are set. Try doing some pushups or situps during the commercial breaks of your favourite TV show. Buddy up – If you can’t seem to muster
ing up with excuses not to exercise, I try to remember how important it is and how good I always feel afterward. It keeps me healthy – physically and emotionally, and I am trying to set a good example for my family. Try something new
– Parks, Recreation and Environment has
the energy to work out by yourself, make a commitment with either a friend, family member or even the family dog. You’re a lot more likely to follow through on your workout commitments when you know that others will be with you. Looking for some ways to stay active? Check out the Fall and Winter Activity Guide or visit www. nanaimo.ca for ideas to keep you and your family moving and healthy this season. ◆ Tammy Toor is a communications specialist with Nanaimo Parks, Recreation and Environment.
