Deadly apartment fire started in upholstered chair, say investigators BY CHRIS BUSH THE NEWS BULLETIN
CHRIS BUSH/THE NEWS BULLETIN
Value Village staffers Jesse Hickox, left, Amanda Trimble, Bola Komolafe and Cindy McKinnon check out the Nanaimo store’s stock of ugly sweaters and other holiday haberdashery for men and women. Ugly sweaters and accessories have become a fashion force to be reckoned with this Christmas.
Ugly is hip when it comes to sweaters BY TAMARA CUNNINGHAM THE NEWS BULLETIN
I
t could be the only time of the year when ugly is actually a compliment. Ugly Christmas sweaters are trending this season with retail outlets and thrift shops lining racks with over-the-top holiday clothing. Businesses are mimicking kitschy sweater prints on everything from uniforms to disposable cups. People are hosting theme parties. Even the City of
Nanaimo has jumped on the bandwagon, declaring Dec. 19 Ugly Christmas Sweater Day in support of the Now That’s Ugly Society, a not-for-profit which raises money for the Children’s Wish Foundation. Those following the trend agree the sweater is fun, quirky and all the rage, according to Jordan Birch, chief experience officer with the Now That’s Ugly Society – and it’s just getting started. Thirteen years ago Birch and his friend got match-
ing penguin sweaters and helped host an ugly Christmas sweater party. The sweaters were rare then. “You typically wouldn’t see someone wearing it unless it was probably an older person at a craft fair,” Birch said. “Now, I mean, you can’t go online or walk down the street or go to a Christmas party without seeing somebody wearing an ugly Christmas sweater – you just can’t.” These days the party Birch helped get started
is at Vancouver’s Commodore Ballroom and is set to attract 2,000 people. The society has also started an ugly sweater dash and called on municipalities to proclaim Dec. 19 as Ugly Christmas Sweater Day to spread the word about the social cause behind the trend. “It’s fun. It’s an excuse to be silly and it’s an excuse to kind of be yourself,” said Birch, who considers the sweaters a social or cultural phenomenon.

Fire investigators don’t know what caused an upholstered chair to catch fire, but have concluded it was the origin of a blaze in an apartment that killed seven-year-old Dominik Ambrose David Billy. Nanaimo Fire Rescue, private fire investigators and electrical safety inspectors looked into the cause of the Nov. 29 blaze at 361 Albert St. The results of the investigation were released Friday by the B.C. Coroners Office. “There was a recliner chair in the living room in the area of the origin of the fire,” said Capt. Ennis Mond, head of the fire department’s fire and loss prevention division. “We could not find what started the fire. There was nothing in the area of origin that ignited the materials ... so that’s what it is.” One way investigators determine a fire’s origin is by looking at the magnitude of burn damage, which is often most intense where a fire started because it is the area that burns the longest and has the greatest amount of time to do the most damage. Unfortunately in the case of the Albert Street fire, the chair, which was located in the living room of the apartment, was so badly burned that any traces of what might have ignited it are gone. “We did find there was a hard-wired smoke alarm, but the breaker had been shut off – not tripped off, shut off,” Mond said. The breaker panel for the apartment, which the smoke alarm is wired to, is located in the master bedroom adjacent to the living room. Mond does not know when the alarm’s circuit breaker was switched off or why. He said he talked with witnesses, including police officers who were first on scene. Those interviews, combined with physical evidence, left no doubt that the fire started in the recliner chair in the living room, Mond said. The most recent fire-related death in the Nanaimo area prior to the Albert Street fire occurred in Lantzville in February when David William Birnie, 55, died in a garage fire. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

City reconsiders Leap card criteria for disabled adults By Tamara cunningham The News BulleTiN
A Nanaimo woman who took issue with the city’s tougher stance on recreational assistance is “thrilled” the municipality will look at a new access program for people with permanent disabilities. Nanaimo’s Parks, Recreation and Culture Commission decided to keep its criteria for the Leisure Economic Access Policy pass, which helps families in financial need access civic recreational facilities, but has asked staff members to report on the development of an access program for people with permanent disability status. It has also grandfathered in those disabled adults who were previously approved to tap into the Leap card. The decision comes after the City of Nanaimo was asked to rethink its recreational assistance criteria. Advocates and parents said special needs adults used to be able to show bus passes or a Person with Disabilities slip to become Leap cardholders, which gave
them discounts and 50 free admissions to civic facilities each year. But since September, the municipality has asked for the earnings of the entire household, making some low-income adults who live with their parents ineligible for the aid, while peers in group homes or respite care still qualify. According to the city, the pass was meant to ensure families could access recreational activities and is based on financial need – now parks and rec is enforcing the family income rule. Critics, however, argued that special-needs adults should be judged on their own ability to pay. Nanaimo resident Debbie Remillard, whose 29-year-old daughter would have no longer qualified for Leap after 11 years, said she is thrilled the commission is looking at having a disabled pass. “Everyone was just thrilled that they are looking into it and trying to resolve it. All we can do is keep our fingers crossed,” she said. City staff is expected to return to the commission in the new year with options for a new access card program. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Rates increased at compost facility By Karl yu The News BulleTiN
CHRIS BUSH/THe NewS BUlleTIN
Adwoa Mensah-Agyekum shows off examples of the owl-shaped ceramic coin banks and collection jars Quarterway Elementary School’s Grade 7 Leadership Committee has placed in classrooms to gather donations for Coins for Kids. Shannon Apland, school vice-principal, back row, second from right, is using the coin drive to get her students thinking about ways winter can put added financial stress on families.
Regional District of Nanaimo directors voted to raise rates for food and yard waste at Nanaimo’s composting facility. According to Daniel Pearce, acting general manager of regional district solid waste services, the residential rate to take food scraps to the Duke Point facility will increase to $122 per tonne from $90, while the cost to take yard material will rise to $45 per tonne, from $42. Commercial rates will stay the same, he said. The rate increases came about as a result of completion of an agreement between the regional district and Nanaimo Organic Waste Ltd., which took over ownership of the site from the ICC Group in August. Nanaimo Organic Waste spent $1.45 million to upgrade the facility as part of the agreement.

W
hen winter arrives, some families in Nanaimo have to choose between paying their electrical bill or buying food. Quarterway Elementary School’s 354 students are gathering donations for the school’s annual Great Change Exchange coin drive, organized by the school’s Grade 7 leadership committee. This year, the school is donating the money to the News Bulletin’s Coins for Kids drive, which supports the annual Great Nanaimo Toy Drive and the Nanaimo Boys and Girls Club. “As a school, we want to reach out to the community and be supportive, so actually the leadership came up with this on their own – Coins for Kids,” said Shannon Apland, school vice-principal.
“It’s not necessarily just for Christmas, because not everyone celebrates it. It was more ... for people in need or families in need [that] we wanted to do this.” As of Thursday, students had raised about $215. The campaign will continue until mid-December. The school has been involved in previous coin drives, but this year teaching staff found a way to add more value to the fundraising by incorporating lessons and classroom discussions to get kids thinking about causes and effects of seasonal shifts, such as weather conditions, that can add financial stress for families already facing budget challenges. “We have a big science talk about living expenses going up,” Apland said. “In winter, daylight goes down, lights go on, hydro is expensive. With snow coming, [students] might think snow is free, but no, you might miss work or you have to buy a shovel to shovel your driveway, you have to buy snow tires.” Winter clothing purchases
also take bites out of meagre incomes. “There’s also food,” said Zoë Wood, leadership committee member. “If you’re going to buy the kids a present then maybe you won’t have enough money for food, too.” The school is also holding a food drive as another way to help families who come up short at Christmas. Children drop their donations into little gold-coloured ceramic coin banks shaped like owls that Apland purchased for each class. The owl is symbolic of scholastic learning. “It’s important because a lot of families are in need and don’t have enough money to give presents,” said Chatherine Shi, leadership committee member. Donations to Coins for Kids can be dropped off at the News Bulletin, 777 Poplar St., or at a community drop-off location, such as Canadian Tire, Northridge Fitness, La-ZBoy, Royal LePage at Brooks Landing and Quality Foods.

At the regional district board meeting last month, Dave Hammond, part of the Nanaimo Organic Waste ownership group, detailed some of the changes, stating a biofilter was replaced and a new aeration system was added, with new blowers and pipes to ensure positive airflow. Hammond said the new ownership group also paid off outstanding debts. The work has been to the satisfaction of solid waste services, according to Pearce. “The odour complaint has been dealt with, as per the measures. Some of those facilities will always have some minor odours, but I think the issue of odours has been dealt with,” said Pearce. The regional district and Nanaimo Organic Waste will also enter into a longer-term deal now that the odour issues are solved, said Pearce.

Sweaters in high demand From /1
“I would say the moustache for November, what we’re going to see in the next two to five years is the sweater is going to be representative of the holidays, culturally,” Birch said. In Nanaimo, the kitschy holiday sweaters can be found at retail outlets like Urban Planet and Bluenotes, as well as the Value Village Thrift Store. Luisa Rino, fashion stylist for Woodgrove Centre, said the sweater is playful, full of humour
because we care...
and has a little irony attached to it. It’s one of two “crazy” fads going on – next to the onesie – but not one she expects to stick around. Cindy McKinnon, costume consultant for Value Village, said staff members collect ugly Christmas sweaters, vests and T-shirts with a range of tackiness throughout the year and begin putting them out in late November. Every day they bring sweaters into the store so there’s a new selection and they are in high demand.
“Even about four years ago it was barely a blip on the radar and in the last two or three years, the whole theme has taken off,” she said, adding if they run short on tacky, people can also peruse their odds-and-ends area to create their own. Ray Brittain, owner of Brechin bowling lanes, has created ugly sweater-themed uniforms for his staff, which he hopes other bowling centres pick up next year. They will also be for sale. “I just like the kind of kitsch of it,” he said. “Everybody has staff shirts, but to put on something that kind of makes you smile, I think that’s really cool.”

Trio of blazes keep firefighters busy serious issue. Capt. Ennis Mond said Monday morning he was waiting for the RCMP to finish looking into a small rubbish fire that started in an apartment at 53 Nicol St. on Sunday at about 2:30 p.m. The blaze was small and out by the time firefighters arrived. “There was a bunch of rubbish – trash – that was ready to go outside that was on fire,” Mond said. “We haven’t gone through it yet, but there’s other extenuating circumstances why the RCMP are involved.” No injuries were reported from that incident.

Sgt. Sheryl Armstrong, Nanaimo RCMP spokeswoman, said in an e-mail that the fire was suspicious and the investigation is ongoing. A fire on at 156 View St. shortly after 6 p.m. Sunday caused fire and smoke damage to a kitchen in a home at 156 View St. Mond said the fire appeared to be an accidental cooking fire in a frying pan on a gas stove. The resident who put out the fire before firefighters arrived was treated at the scene by paramedics for minor smoke inhalation.

Nanaimo News Bulletin 7
Police plan under scrutiny by new council By Tamara cunningham The News BulleTiN
RCMP Supt. Mark Fisher will pitch a revised staffing plan in this year’s budget talks, but Nanaimo’s mayor warns that anybody looking for significantly more capital or money will have a tough time with the new council. Nanaimo city council is expected to head into budget discussions this January, with a new fire station and additional Nanaimo RCMP members to consider. Last year, Nanaimo city council delayed more than a halfmillion dollars in expenses to
bolster the local RCMP force, with some politicians citing a need to review the staff plan with crime on the decline and a new superintendent. Council also opted to hold off on construction of a $2.4-million Hammond Bay fire hall and $1.1 million in equipment, trucks and staffing until 2015 and asked for a review of a fire plan. The fire plan is still in the information-gathering stage, and the details of the RCMP proposal have not been released. Fisher told the News Bulletin there has been some revision, but he still sees a requirement for additional human resources
and says he’ll likely stay close to the human resources plan currently in the five-year budget. He also said he will talk to council about current pressures police face and where he’d like to see some of the resources go if council supports additional funding. New mayor Bill McKay said he doesn’t want to see a tax hike for new items. McKay said he’s interested to hear what the city’s top cop has to say, but also believes the RCMP will have a hard time if they come with the same budget as last year because the tax base isn’t growing as fast as it would need to, to support it.
“One of the things we have to realize, notwithstanding the fact that there’s a desire to hire more officers based on a plan that was developed in I believe it was 2008 … with a smaller force as we have right now without the increase, crime is going down in Nanaimo,” McKay said. “So it begs the question, why do we need more officers?” It’s a valid question, according to Fisher, who says police deal with issues like mental health and civil and family disputes that aren’t captured in crime statistics. “If all we did in policing was investigate criminal offences
and do that then the crime stats would definitely be an accurate reflection of what you are asking your police department to do, but across the province ... you get drawn into a whole bunch of other services to the community and expectations of the community that police are going to be there providing some of these other services,” he said. The revised RCMP plan and fire services review are expected to be presented during budget talks. It’s unknown, however, what approach to the budget process council will take this year. news@nanaimobulletin.com

She said the committee would like to hear from students, teachers and counsellors about what they would like to see. “We know that mental health, or mental wellness, is something that we may want to address and building capacity within the student body around health literacy and basic services that we’re hoping will be available as well,” Tatlock said. The $200,000 will go toward a number of items, said Tatlock, including the hiring of a coordinator, which will be critical in setting up the clinic, and clinic space. It hasn’t been determined whether the clinic will be within the Harewood high school or a portable. Arruda said there are a number of general practitioner doctors that are keen on doing clinic time. “I think in January sometime, we’ll have something started and then it will give us time to work on some of the other components as we establish that initial clinic,” Arruda said. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

EDITORIAL
’Tis the season to drive sober
The lights are strung, the sales are on, Santa is magically appearing in public places across the Island, listening to wish lists; yes, the Christmas season is upon us. With the season come the parties, and, in turn, the increased alcohol consumption. It’s a sad fact that every year, we must remind people of the alternative transportation options available in an effort to curb impaired driving. It’s a sadder fact that many people will read this and pay no heed. The RCMP have begun their Christmas enforcement, which means a greater presence on the road, including impaired driving check stops. If you are convicted of drinking and driving you will be in line for a hefty fine, confiscation of your driver’s licence, and a criminal record. Is the risk really worth the cost of a cab? Preparing for a court date is no way to celebrate the holidays. Take a cab, use the Operation Red Nose program, have a designated driver, or stay where you are. That, or suffer the consequences. Oh sure, you might beat the charge – there are plenty of lawyers willing to fight for you, at a price. But an impaired driving charge is not the worst-case scenario, not by a long shot. Lives are at stake here – yours, and those of innocent victims: the ones who could die because you fall asleep at the wheel, the children you could orphan by t-boning their parents when you speed through that red light, the newlywed wife who could become a widow. Sound harsh? That’s reality. People in this country will be orphaned, crippled and widowed this Christmas season at the hands of drunk drivers. There is, at the very least, one thing you can do to ensure you are not the cause of any such tragedy. Think about it before having that third eggnog, or ordering that second bottle of wine with dinner.

where their donations go and to see first-hand the change their donations wrought. The difference from charities like World Vision are less tangible. Money goes overseas to worthy causes that we hope are making a difference. Whether you donate locally or globally, ensure you are an informed donor. A portion of every donation will go toward administration costs; how much depends on the charity. Some of the best charities run at 10 per cent; most run at 20 per cent, meaning that for every dollar you donate, 10 to 20 cents pays for managers, accountants, administrators and events that help make more fundraising dollars. Some charities, however, can run as high as 30-40 per cent. Perhaps the biggest donation anyone can make is that of time. If you don’t have the money to give to Hamperville or the toy drive, volunteer to help sort and package the hampers. Or take a shift ringing the bells for the Salvation Army’s kettle campaign. A few hours on a mild December afternoon will make all the difference to someone in need – and it won’t cost you a dime.
We’re hoping that through the music and the story, people are reminded about what Christmas is all about.

BY NICHOLAS PESCOD THE NEWS BULLETIN
A
Christmas classic with a Canadian twist is coming to the Harbour City. The Royal Winnipeg Ballet will perform The Nutcracker at the Port Theatre tonight and tomorrow night (Dec. 9-10). According to Royal Winnipeg Ballet artistic director, André Lewis, The Nutcracker will feature plenty of Canadiana including a hockey game and polar bears. “We’ve added Canadian elements to it,” Lewis said. “It’s set in a prosperous town at the turn of the last century, so around 1912.” The Nutcracker will feature the Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s principal dancer, Liang Xing, who is a former principal dancer for the National Ballet of China and a finalist at the
Moscow International Ballet Competition. Xing will be joined by soloists Yayoi Ban, Sophia Lee, Dmitri Dovgoselet, Yosuke Mino and the ballet’s other members. The Nutcracker will also include performances from roughly 40 student dancers from across Vancouver Island, with approximately 18 dancers from Nanaimo. Since September, the students, who are between the ages of seven and 12, have been working in Nanaimo with rehearsal coordinator and instructor Jennifer Quibell. When it comes to scouting for young ballet talent, Lewis said those who can follow directions are what he looks for. “It’s mostly the ability to master the material,” he said. “It’s not like they have to be [the most] talented dancers,

although it is nice.” Lewis has been with the ballet company since 1979. In 1995, the Quebec native was named the ballet’s artistic director and has since become one of the most regarded direc-
tors in the country. “To be given the artistic directorship of such an illustrious and unique organization is a great honour. I feel humbled by having been given that honour,” Lewis said. As artistic director, Lewis has commissioned numerous productions such as Dracula, Carmina Burana and The Sleeping Beauty and has been instrumental in rejuvenating Canada’s first professional dance company. Although Lewis, who spent decades as a professional dancer, knew he wanted to remain in the industry after his career, he never envisioned becoming an artistic director. “I wasn’t thinking of moving on or becoming a doctor or anything,” Lewis said. “But as far as would I become an artistic director or something of that nature, that wasn’t my

life’s aim, but when the opportunity came about I jumped at it.” The Royal Winnipeg Ballet, which was founded in 1939, has a diverse roster of dancers from all over the world including Brazil, China, Germany, Moldova, Japan, South Korea, Ukraine and the United States. Lewis said that finding talented male dancers is tougher due to the fact that there are generally fewer males than females in ballet. “There are more ladies that tend to gravitate towards [ballet] and why that is, is strange to me, but that is just reality,” he said. The Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s production of The Nutcracker starts at 7:30 p.m. at the Port Theatre. Tickets are sold out. For more information, please visit www.rwb.org. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

As Christmas commercialism consumes more and more of our lives, Generations Church’s annual Singing Christmas Tree event has showed no signs of burning out, even after two decades. The event, now in its 22nd year, features a massive Christmas tree and a musical production that is intended to remind people about the true meaning of the day Santa arrives. “We have a choir performance along with a drama, that tells a story related to Christmas,” said church lead pastor, Darcy Siggelkow. “We’re hoping that through the music and the story that is told and the brief presentation that I give, that people
are reminded about what Christmas is all about.” “Our story this year is a humorous look at the traditional story of the shepherds,” he said. “That is the basic theme.” This years’ Singing Christmas Tree production, which is Somewhere Over the Manger, tells the story of three shepherds and their journey. The Singing Christmas Tree runs this weekend at Generations Church. “It’s telling the traditional Christmas story of the shepherds coming to find Jesus,” said Siggelkow, who is in his ninth year as an organizer for the event. Siggelkow explained that the Singing Christmas Tree event takes volunteers countless hours to produce each year. “It’s thousands of

hours between the choir rehearsals and the drama rehearsals and the production,” Siggelkow said. According to Siggelkow the Christmas tree is roughly eightmetres tall and took thousands of hours to create. One of the ways the church keeps the Singing Christmas Tree event fresh each year is by creating original productions. It’s all volunteer people from our church and the community that love to be involved and music, drama and produc-
tions of this sort and we all pull together,” Siggelkow said. The Singing Christmas Tree and the production of Somewhere Over the Manger runs from Dec. 12 until Dec. 14 at Generations Church, 1300 Princess Royal Ave. Tickets to the event are free.

Dry Spell
Is it important to switch up your skincare regime when the cold weather arrives? I am asked this question on a regular basis and my usual answer is that if you love the products you are using maybe now is the time to add a specialty product to your regular routine. One of my favourites is Pure Hyaluronic Acid. Hyaluronic acid is a humectant that draws water from the lower levels of the skin up to the surface. Moisture loss is very common in the winter; cold winds and electric heat strip the skin of moisture.

Moderate exfoliation also helps with dehydrated and flaking skin. An excess of dry skin cells will make it difficult for your moisturizer to penetrate the skin’s surface, resulting in even more dehydration.
Hot water strips the skin of moisture and causes irritation. If you can resist the temptation of a hot bath or shower and turn the tap to lukewarm, your skin will thank you. Another hint that will help a lot with keeping the skin functioning much better is to use a product containing plant stem cells, such as Apple Rose Stem Cell Moisturizer. Both Hyaluronic Acid and Apple Rose Stem Cell Moisturizer are from the PURCHASE A HYALURONIC ACID & A ROSE same skincare line and our STEM CELL MOISTURIZER & RECEIVE promotion right now is to 20% OFF REGULAR RETAIL receive 20% off regular retail AND A FREE GIFT if purchasing both products.

Barsby makes it back-to-back championships I AA VARSITY football team defends title with 36-20 victory. BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
The Barsby Bulldogs are back-to-back champs. John Barsby Secondary School’s AA varsity football team defeated the Mission Roadrunners 36-20 in Saturday’s Subway Bowl provincial championship at B.C. Place stadium. The ’Dawgs brought their best to the big game. Quarterback North Rainey said the Subway Bowl was the best game his team has played. “We played a full team game...” he said. “We were not playing for ourselves to win a championship, we played for our team to win a championship.” The Bulldogs got off to a blazing start. They built a 21-0 lead before the Roadrunners got on the board, then took a 24-7 advantage into halftime. The Bulldogs pounded the opposition and dominated time of possession with a relentless rushing attack. Barsby’s backs totalled 373 rush yards. “We stuck to our scheme,” said Josh Goldston, offensive lineman. “Our backs found holes and they were amazing today.” Trentyn Anderson, Bulldogs running back, said the O-line “blocked like crazy” on Saturday. “They gave the running backs a hole here, a hole there,” he said. “You’ve just got to shoot that thing and see how far you can make it.” It was textbook Barby football, it was exactly what was expected, and yet it couldn’t be stopped. Rob Stevenson, the team’s coach, said the Bulldogs try to get double teams and down blocks up front and then pull the rest of the team through. “You need 3.34 yards per carry and you’re going to keep rolling those sticks down the sideline...” he said. “That’s the way we play football at John Barsby and once it gets rolling, it’s a beautiful thing. It’s fun to watch.” Mission’s star player Jesse Walker was kept in check for the most part as Barsby stacked the box against the QB. “What we wanted to do was

play the percentages and make him play football in a phone booth as much as we could and get our pads on him,” said Stevenson. Walker said the Bulldogs were better prepared and seemed to want it more, firing off the ball and making plays. “They keyed on me and they brought all their guys after me,” he said. “They played us smart. They played as a better team today.”
Anderson opened the scoring 10 minutes into the game, breaking through after a crisscross for a 25-yard major. Kieren Carreck extended the margin on a six-yard TD run on the first play of the second quarter, then a fumble recovery by Xin Wei (Ethan) Hong led to a 15-yard passing TD from Rainey to Chris DeGoutiere. Walker scored a TD on a five-yard run, but the Bulldogs marched down the field
and Etienne Kessler-Martinez kicked a short field goal on the last play of the half. In the third quarter the QBs traded rushing touchdowns, as Walker, then Rainey, then Walker again ran for major scores. DeGoutiere caught a 22-yard TD pass early in the fourth quarter and though the Roadrunners put together a drive, they turned the ball over on downs with seven and a half minutes left and never got the ball back. Cole Virtanen was named the game’s MVP, Rainey was chosen as outstanding back and Goldston was outstanding lineman. Virtanen had 22 carries for 145 yards and Anderson had 17 carries for 130 yards. Rainey was 9-for10 passing for 64 yards and added 65 rush yards. DeGoutiere had eight catches for 52 yards. Defensively, Parker Bowles led the way with 11 tackles and two sacks, Rainey had nine tackles, Virtanen had eight tackles and Doyle Sosnowski had two sacks. Traditional wisdom says it’s tough to repeat as champions in high school football
considering that half the team graduates every year. Over the last 25 years in B.C., the only other AA varsity team to win repeat titles was the Windsor Dukes, who accomplished the feat in 1997-98 and again in 2004-05. Now Barsby has found a way to be the best, back to back. “It’s being true to who you are and what you do,” Stevenson said. “The group of athletes you have right there is what you’ve got, so you give them all you’ve got and you stay inside of yourself and you try to get a little bit better each day.” The Bulldogs realized early in the 2014 season that they had to try to be the best team, said the coach, because they didn’t have the biggest guys or the best athletes. “We weren’t going to run over anybody, or past anybody, we were just going to have do it using our own unique strengths,” he said. “As the season progressed, they bought in more and more, to this point, where we’re standing with a big grin on our face.” sports@nanaimobulletin.com

NEW COACH Conn to be joined by defensive coordinator Hocking. BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BUllETIN
The V.I. Raiders boasted a lights-out defence for a lot of years, and they hope they can get it back. Nanaimo’s Canadian Junior Football League club announced last week the return of defensive coordinator Doug Hocking for 2015. Hocking, a former CFL player, was defensive coordintor of the Raiders during their national championship seasons in 2006, 2008 and 2009 and was head coach in 2007. “He’s an intense guy that brings an excellent understanding of the defence and he also understands the Raider way,” said Jeremy Conn, Raiders coach. Conn was named head coach of the Raiders earlier last week. Conn coached Parksville’s Ballenas Whalers to the provincial high school semifinals earlier this month. He liked what he heard when discussing the Raiders’ coaching vacancy with Abassi. “Talking to him more about the level of the football and the organization that would be there to support me as the head coach got me more and more excited,” Conn said.

Jeremy Conn, new coach of the V.I. Raiders, is putting together his staff.
There will be changes moving from high school football to junior. Aside from different rules, there is also recruiting to be done. Conn said he wants to find guys who want to win and hate to lose. “I know a lot of the coaches are excited to talk scheme, but first we need to really look at who do we have…” he said. The Raiders are coming off a 5-5 season, but Conn said he thinks the team can climb back into contention in the B.C. Football Conference. “If [veteran players] are coming back and we get some new pieces and new recruits that we are looking to get, I think we can be right back up to the success level that the Raiders are used to and the great tradition they’ve had of winning,” he said. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Clippers lose pair at home The Nanaimo Clippers’ offence cooled off on home ice as the junior A hockey club lost a pair of weekend games. The Clips were shaded 3-2 by the Merritt Centennials in double overtime on Friday at Frank Crane Arena, then fell 3-1 to the Cowichan Valley Capitals the next night. The loss to the Cents was the first overtime defeat the Clippers have suffered this season. Yanni Kaldis and Edwin Hookenson scored goals for Nanaimo and Jakob Severson made 31 saves in the loss. The next night Cole Maier scored Nanaimo’s only goal. Guillaume Decelles suffered the loss as the Clippers outshot the opposition 38-18. Nanaimo gets a rematch with Cowichan on Wednesday (Dec. 10) at Duncan’s Island Savings Centre. Faceoff is at 7 p.m.
City’s runners help Team B.C. Nanaimo Track and Field Club athletes helped Team B.C. to a national medal last month. Jenaya Pynn and Amy Morris competed at the Canadian Cross-Country Championships on Nov. 29 at Jericho Beach Park in cold, icy and muddy conditions. Pynn finished 18th in the youth girls’ division, managing to complete the course despite getting spiked badly and later needing 16 stitches. Morris also placed in the top 50, as did Sean Miller in the junior men’s division and Joel DeSchiffart in senior men’s.
Judo athletes best in west The Nanaimo Judo Club had three medallists at the Canada West tournament Saturday in Burnaby. Masa Kadowaki won gold in two different weight classes in senior men’s competition, Boden Griswold took gold in his U12 division and Korin Gardner earned silver medals in two weight classes in the U14 category.

New-look Buccaneers win BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN
The new-look Nanaimo Buccaneers earned the sort of win that can bring a group of players together. The Bucs prevailed 6-5 over the Comox Valley Glacier Kings in a back-and-forth game Thursday at the Nanaimo Ice Centre. The Buccaneers led 4-2 going into the third, fell behind 5-4, but turned things back in their favour before the final buzzer. “We’ve come back a bunch this year. We’ve got a good, character group,” said Derek Bachynski, the team’s coach. “We just competed hard and never gave up. The game’s not over until it’s over, so we just competed until the end and ended up getting a victory.” Nolan Richardson sniped the game-winning goal with two minutes left in the third period. Jordan Levesque had a hat trick and a five-point night. Zach Funk and Carter Turnbull each had a goal and three assists, Joe Gage had two assists and Liam Young was the winning goalie with 20 saves.

line going into the game was Nanaimo’s revamped roster after a flurry of transactions last week. The newcomers Funk, Gage, Jonah Pearson and Quinlan Moore all showed well, said the coach. “I wanted that win so much for the guys, the new faces coming in,” Bachynski said. “Winning and having fun winning moulds a team together and it’s very important that we got that win.”
Funk said it was awesome to play in his hometown, score a goal and get a win with the Bucs. It’s always a big change to suit up for a new team, he added. “Every team’s different,” Funk said. “But the guys have been really welcoming, the coaches have been good and it’s all been positive.” The Bucs went on to defeat the Oceanside Generals 4-3 in Parksville Saturday.

Gary Paterson, city of nanaimo arenas coordinator, left, Perceval the Penguin, also known as Britnee Oldfield, and Grace Bell are gearing up for the annual Winter Wonderland.

sphere, there will be an ice sculpture, snow cones and toffee on a stick. The ice surface will be dressed up and the centrepiece will be a 40-foot castle, to mimic the ice castle that is part of Quebec’s carnival, Paterson said. With the exception of Dec. 26, when skating takes place between 11:45 a.m. and 3 p.m., the arena will be open between 10 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. with numerous sessions. “That $1 admission gets you in. We
don’t clear the building (between sessions) per se. That makes it possible for people to come pretty much at their convenience, whenever they want, stay for as long as they want, all for $1 and skating being what it is, most children really can’t last for more than an hour and a half anyways,” said Paterson. While it might be cold and a little bit tiring physically, Winter Wonderland is a good way to get exercise and the
perfect precursor to a post-Christmas meal, Paterson said. Choral groups are being sought to perform at the skate sessions and interested parties can contact Paterson at 250-755-7536 or by e-mail at gary.paterson@nanaimo.ca.
