Former city councillor Diana Johnstone was awarded the Freeman of the City, Nanaimo’s highest civic honour, for her volunteer work and service to the community. Johnstone said she plans to continue that extensive record of helping Nanaimo.

ew Freeman of the City Diana Johnstone was still smiling ear-to-ear and dabbing away tears Tuesday as she talked about receiving the city’s highest civic honour. “I think it was probably the biggest highlight of my life,” she said. “I am just over the moon happy.” Johnstone, a two-term city councillor, became the 32nd Freeman of the City on Monday, joining the ranks of John Barsby, Frank Ney and Muriel McKay Ross for her lead-

ership and volunteerism in the community. The title, last awarded in 2010, is only given in exceptional cases for lifetime achievement and has to be unanimously agreed upon by city council. Its winner gets a lifetime of free city parking. “We do not give away this honour lightly,” said Mayor Bill McKay. “For over 30 years, Diana’s presence and commitment has touched the lives of many individuals ... she is a true leader in every sense of the word.” Johnstone, wearing a blue dress and white corsage, accepted the framed recognition and medal to

a standing ovation during a council meeting Monday night, calling it a tremendous honour and thanking people for the nomination. “I am not a native daughter, however, from the time my family arrived here on transfer with the RCM Police in 1982, I knew I was home and would never want to leave,” said Johnstone, who served on more than a dozen committees and as a volunteer for organizations like Tourism Nanaimo, Canada Games and B.C. Disability Games. Volunteering is part of Johnstone’s being and something instilled in her
by her mother but it was her husband and his decision to retire that allowed her to remain and do what she enjoys in Nanaimo. It was love at first sight for the two high school sweethearts from Edmonton. He was an act-tough kind of guy with a big duck tail, pants with a long chain and a gang that all wore orange jackets, who invited her to take a seat on his lap when she couldn’t find an empty chair in the classroom. Johnstone said he was cute, and with three brothers she wasn’t afraid of guys, so she took him up on the offer. See ‘JOHNSTONE’ /4

A B.C. Supreme Court judge wrestled over what sentence he could hand down for the second-degree murder of Cheryl Lynn Sim. Robert James Iverson, 49, was charged with Sim’s murder after her body was found in a vacant lot near Barsby Park in June 2010. Iverson was convicted of second-degree murder in November. The conviction carries a punishment of life imprisonment with a minimum parole ineligibility of 10-25 years. During the sentencing hearing on Tuesday and Wednesday in Nanaimo, Basil McCormick, Crown counsel, asked for a range of 15-20 years parole ineligibility. No sentence had been handed down by press time Wednesday. Throughout the hearing, Iverson, who chose to represent himself throughout his trial, maintained his right to silence, refused to participate in the proceedings and turned his back to the court to stare at the wall of the court room. When McCormick placed copies of evidence next to him, Iverson dropped the documents on the floor. “I would note that Mr. Iverson remains unresponsive and continues to face the back of the courtroom,” Judge Robert Punnet said after numerous attempts to address Iverson. The lack of precedent in Canadian law left Punnet and Crown wrestling with the severity of sentence. A not-guilty plea and no counsel representing him has left a void of evidence regarding the motive behind the killing, Iverson’s state of mind and his intent. McCormick said he is aware of rare cases where the accused refuses to participate, but has never personally experienced it. “In my 22 years in the courtroom I’ve never seen anything quite like this,” McCormick said Tuesday. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

Club opens doors to seniors I HArBour City seniors hosts event. By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN
M a t u re c i t i z e n s 60-plus, looking to try something new and meet new people, might want to go out to Nanaimo Harbour City Seniors’ open house. Displays, demonstrations and door prizes are on the event schedule at Bowen Park activity centre, where club members will show off woodworking skills, painting, sculpting, pottery, stained glass creations, dance and exercise routines and more from the club’s classes and programs put on by the City of Nanaimo’s parks and rec department. “It’s to make the seniors in Nanaimo aware that it’s a friendly place to come and there’s loads of programs that they don’t even know about,” said Joanne Husband, Harbour City Seniors marketing director. Many of the programs have no monthly charges, so getting in on a lot of the activities costs just the initial club sign-up fee.
CHRIS BUSH/THe NewS BUlleTIN
Carla Stein, left, Alison Giegerich and Keely Freeman practise throwing pots in Bowen Park activity centre’s pottery room, which has classes open to all ages and is one of dozen of programs open to Harbour City Seniors members.
“In the big hall where we’re holding it, they’re going to have tables for each program,” Husband said. “The wood carvers are going to have a table and there’ll be two or three carvers there. The exercise instructors, there will be two or three of them there, and they’ll be explaining what the classes are and that you don’t
have to be an expert to come.” Harbour City Seniors offers dozens of indoor and outdoor activities and programs, including billiards, knitting, pottery and ceramics, yoga, tai chi, music and dance programs, including Latin and ballroom dancing, country line dance, badminton, darts, carpet and lawn bowl-
ing, computer and social media skills development, day travel excursions and more. There’s even a ukulele club. Activities available at Bowen Park will be showcased during the event, but people considering joining the club will also want to look into what seniors programs are available at Oliver Woods Community Centre. Refreshments, coffee and cookies will be offered at the open house and door prize gift baskets will be given away, too. “The door prizes are going to be awarded throughout the event, not just at the end, so that people who only come for half an hour get a chance to win,” Husband said. Of course, an open house event aims to drive up membership – there are about 1,500 members at any give time – and Husband said a lot of new members signed up at the the 2014 open house when they saw what the club had to offer. This year’s open house happens March 3 from 1-3:30 p.m. Admission is free. For more information, please call 250-7557501 or visit www. nanaimoharbourcityseniors.com. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

Good hearing, poor comprehension? The number of people who can hear well, but can’t understand what’s being said, is increasing. This is most evident in conversations and watching television. A newlydeveloped hearing chip is designed to restore speech comprehension without being noticeable in the ear.
A lot of people have poor comprehension, though they actually still hear well. It becomes noticeable in conversation, watching television and asking family to repeat what’s been said. A potential cause can be undetected loss in the high-frequency range. This means the sensory cells in the cochlea that hear high-range sounds are damaged as a result of circulatory disorders, diabetes, sudden hearing loss or workplace noise. Hearing loss in the highfrequency range makes speech sound muffled and unclear. The person with hearing loss mixes up, or can no longer hear, consonants like s, f, t, k, h and g. Speech comprehension is particularly impaired when there is background noise or when television programs have background music. The dilemma is that people with hearing loss in the high-frequency range do not

They can hear deep tones with no issue, and often put difficulty understanding speech down to unclear pronunciation. However, the time soon comes when problems with comprehension become annoying. A new hearing chip has been developed.
and speech comprehension analysis is done. Where inner-ear damage is present, a software program analyzes the difference relative to normal hearing. These values are then input into the new Venture hearing chip in the Audéo V, which precisely takes into account and balances the frequency range of the person being tested. The test phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role a new technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The chip recognizes where the person being spoken to is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this significantly augments speech comprehension, especially in conversation.

Nanaimo ended up being the best posting she’d ever had, she said, adding her children were all close and she was having “great fun” as the operations manager and event planner for Tourism Nanaimo. When they got notice of Jack’s transfer, it was the first time she balked at a posting. “He could see that I really wanted to have a chance, so finally he just said, we are not going to move,” she said. “He retired in order that I could have a chance to do what I loved to do.” Her husband watched from the gallery as she got her award. It’ll be cherished, she said, adding she hopes to continue to serve Nanaimo.

Parents pick budget priorities
I
mEEtiNgS SEt to gather feedback.
By GreG Sakaki The News BulleTiN
The Nanaimo school board wants to brainstorm all the ideas it can as it faces budget pressure. The school district held the first of three Your Voice public meetings Tuesday night at Dover Bay Secondary School. T h e f o r u m s a re intended to gather input about the facilities plan and budget priorities as trustees plan for 2015-16. “We’re looking for input from our partners – from the parents in the district. So this is an opportunity to be heard,” said Steve Rae, board chairman. “We have
very difficult decisions to make. We have a big budget; we’ve got a small amount of money to spend.” The school district is anticipating close to a $4-million budget shortfall as things c u r re n t l y s t a n d , but the province demands balanced budgets. “So we need to find a way to do it,” said Rae. “That is our challenge.” With the shortfall measured in millions, school closures are on the table. Rae said the board will make decisions on facilities sometime in April. At Tuesday’s meeting at Dover Bay, those in attendance identified their top three school budget priorities out of more than a dozen options. Closing and consolidating schools was

the No. 1 priority, followed by improving student achievement, then a new high school on the Nanaimo District Secondary School site. “I went to a bunch of different tables tonight and the input from everybody here was outstanding,” said Rae. “Everybody had lots of really great things to say and we’re going to take it all into consideration. It’s important.” The next Your Voice meeting will be held
at John Barsby Secondary School on Feb. 26 at 6:30 p.m. People can also participate in the process by filling out an online survey at www. sd68.bc.ca or by picking up a survey booklet at the school district’s administration centre at 395 Wakesiah Ave. Barsby’s parent advisory council will hold a parent-led meeting on the facilities plan March 2 at 7 p.m. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Donor leaves annual community legacy

Nanaimo News Bulletin 7
Bungy jumpers strip down for fundraiser By Tamara cunningham The News bulleTiN

W
ith the assistance of the Nanaimo Foundation, David Stanley will be able to grant money to charitable organizations on an annual basis. Stanley and his wife established a donoradvised fund through the Nanaimo Foundation in 2014, which will begin bearing fruit this year. They donated the minimum $10,000 and the Nanaimo Foundation can only give the money to charities registered with the Canada Revenue Agency. Stanley said it was easy to set up the fund. Daniel Martinez, foundation development coordinator, said the donor advised fund follows similar principles of a private foundation. “When somebody donates to their private foundation, they receive a charitable receipt, similar to them opening a fund with us,” said Martinez. “I would say it’s an easier way to do it than setting up your own private foundation.”
KARL YU/The News BULLeTiN
david Stanley reads a copy of the Nanaimo Foundation’s Vital Signs community checkup report. With the help of the Nanaimo Foundation, the Nanaimo resident Stanley will see a $10,000 donation being doled out to help local charities.
The Canada Revenue Agency says a minimum of 3.5 per cent of the total must be given out yearly, said Martinez. While money from the fund will initially be available to anyone, Stanley has advised the foundation that he would like it to go to environmental projects or research after he and his wife are gone. Stanley is a proud

no surprises in provincial budget, says mla By melissa Fryer The News bulleTiN
Leonard Krog, NDP MLA for Nanaimo, said he was hoping for a surprise when the provincial budget was announced on Tuesday. Instead, the budget reiterated what was outlined in the throne speech a week earlier and included a tax cut for the wealthiest two per cent in the province and an increase in fees for everyone else, he said. Finance Minister Mike de Jong announced details
of a balanced budget in the legislature, highlighting help for low-income families, like an end to the social assistance clawback of child-support payments and an increase to the income tax exemption from $18,000 to $19,000. An early childhood tax benefit begins April 1, with up to $660 a year for each child up to the age of six, designed to assist with child-care costs. This is also the year the province’s training and education savings grant begins to be paid out for

children who reach six years old. It is a one-time payment of $1,200 for children born since Jan. 1, 2007, to be placed in a registered education savings plan. But Krog said it’s not enough – B.C. still ranks below the national average on per capita education spending, while fees for things like ICBC, B.C. Hydro and Medical Services Plan continue to increase, with MSP rates increasing again after a 30-per-cent jump in the past five years.
De Jong said a scheduled four-per cent increase in B.C. Ferries fares will also go ahead as scheduled April 1. “This is a costly province to live in,” Krog said. After an additional $3 billion to the health care budget and $576 million more for education over the next three years, the surplus for 2015-16 is projected to be $284 million. A surplus of almost $900 million is predicted for the current budget. editor@nanaimobulletin.com – with files from Tom Fletcher
Bungy jumpers will strip down for mental health during the ninth annual Naked Bungy. Naked Bungy – the B.C. Schizophrenia Society’s largest fundraiser – is back at WildPlay Nanaimo this weekend, giving nude jumpers the chance to plunge for less while raising money for the cause. It’s an event that has gone from fringe to mainstream, according to Tom Benson, chief experience officer for WildPlay, who said it started out as a legacy from the old days when people were allowed to jump for free if they were naked. WildPlay created its own terms, offering the jump for $35 – a 73-per cent discount – to people who braved the 45-metre drop in the buff during a once-a-year charity event. The weekend now attracts 200 people annually from across the globe – most of whom shed their inhibitions – and has raised close to $96,000 for schizophrenia and other serious mental health programs at BCSS Victoria. “Jump off a bridge naked to help schizophrenia – it’s way out there, but it’s become a very popular, soughtafter thing to do,” said Benson, adding there’s no question the two-day event NakEd buNgy annual will be completely fundraiser for b.C. booked. schizophrenia society “People get to do takes place saturday something that’s a and sunday (Feb. 21-22) bucket list thing for at wildPlay Nanaimo. less than they norVisit www.wildplay.com/ mally would, that nakedbungyjump. has a very unique spin on it ... and they get to make a difference for an illness that is really underfunded and misunderstood.” The event is not only fun, but it’s a great way for people to strip away the stigma around mental health and show they care, says Hazel Meredith, executive director for BCSS Victoria. One in 100 people will be diagnosed with schizophrenia in their lifetime, but only about 50 per cent of Canadians will tell friends or coworkers a family member has a mental illness and 42 per cent are unsure if they’d socialize with a friend who had mental illness. “[Naked Bungy is] a fun way for people to come together, do something that’s really about bravery and about showcasing that people want to do something that’s really supportive of people with a mental illness,” she said. Naked Bungy takes place Saturday and Sunday (Feb. 21-22), costing $35 for those in the buff and $130 for people wanting to jump fully clothed. Net proceeds, as well as a $15 spectator fee, are given to the B.C. Schizophrenia Society. For more information, please visit www.wildplay. com/nakedbungyjump.

No stopping school closures
It will take more than a new school board and new ideas to balance the books. In November, voters elected school trustees who opposed school closures. But no one should be surprised if closures come back to the board table this spring. Nanaimo school district staff is anticipating a budget shortfall of nearly $4 million for 2015-16. Provincial underfunding is largely to blame, but our declining enrolment is working against us, as well. According to the Ministry of Education’s calculations, we have too few students at too many schools. Administrative, teaching and support staff positions will be trimmed; textbooks will be repaired with Scotch tape; photocopy paper will be rationed. And it won’t be enough. Trustees are holding brainstorming sessions these days, asking a question they’re loath to answer themselves: Should the school district look at closing schools? There are countless priorities for public education. We want improved test scores, higher graduation rates, expanded course selection. We want new facilities and modern technology. We want our kids to be educated in the neighbourhoods in which we live. But when we tally up all these wants and needs and create a column of dollar figures, we see that we can’t have it all. We need our provincial government to make public education a greater priority, and fund it like it’s a priority. And closing schools has to happen, in the fairest way possible. Voters decided that new trustees can do a better, fairer job. That may be the case, but really, in November we were simply rejecting school closures, as we do every election. Just because closures are a foregone conclusion doesn’t mean we shouldn’t fight them – we should. We should advocate for our neighbourhoods and for our kids. But at some point we might find we have too few teachers, and the textbooks have fallen apart, and the paper has run out. Are we trying to make our schools better for our children? If not, then what are we trying to do?

health care outcomes, second only to Switzerland and Sweden. Darcy, a former president of the Hospital Employees’ Union, was quick to respond: “This is surely a first in question period, the Minister of Health going back to the record of the NDP government in the 1990s, because we’ve had the best health outcomes in Canada since 1993. The fact is that we exercise more, we smoke less and we drink less, and that’s to the credit of British Columbians.” We also have more elderly people, as Premier Christy Clark argued in 2011 when the federal government changed its financing formula. After years of increasing transfers by six per cent per year, the late federal finance minister Jim Flaherty announced that starting in 2014, increases would be tied to economic growth, but wouldn’t fall below three per cent. This of course was treated as a cut. But there it is, and all provinces have to deal with it. Darcy is quite right that personal responsibility is the key, something to remember as the usual squabbling of special interests continues. u Tom Fletcher is columnist and legislature reporter for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

New school board is listening To the Editor,
Re: Trustees have to make tough decisions, Letters, Feb. 5. Finally NanaimoLadysmith school district actually has a board willing to listen to the public and are doing what they were elected to do. The 10-year facilities plan was flawed from the start. You don’t take a newer community school at capacity such as Cedar Secondary and rip it apart. You don’t take a French Immersion school such as Davis Road in Ladysmith, which was at capacity with a community built around it, and decide to bus the elementary students elsewhere. Then you certainly don’t decide to turn Cedar high school into a super-elementary school when you
are told that it will be operating under capacity. The plan merely moved bodies around without any clear thought to the implications. The choices were fiscally and morally wrong with the plan being neither in the interest of the taxpayer nor the students. To make up the under-capacity of John Barsby, Woodlands students could have been bused there. The old school is slated to be closed anyway. Woodbank could be the new superelementary as a fraction of the $2 million facilities budget would be required for this, freeing money for school improvements elsewhere. Many ideas were proposed by the public but were
rejected by the previous board. I take my vote very seriously and treat it as if it were a tiebreaker in an election.
Karen Mullen Ladysmith
To the Editor,
Congratulations are in order for the Cedar crew; a minority used the political process to gain control – brilliant. Now, to the socalled review. Is there anyone out there who really thinks the new board will not reverse course and reopen Cedar Secondary and not close the two elementary schools, regardless of the reversal costs and ongoing costs? Right. But by all means, let’s have the review.
The board is correct, however, to link its decision on facilities to the budget because every other school will share in the extraordinary costs resulting from this 11th hour reversing of the previous board’s decision. Students at every one of those schools will be short changed next year and thereafter as a result. Please, spare us the upcoming spin on how bad the budget is, you know, the anticipated $4 million shortfall. I can’t wait for its response when the next School District 68 delegation for new secondary schools goes off to Victoria again pleading for funding. Good luck.

To the Editor,
The Vancouver Island Conference Centre management has said it’s empty because of the product. Nothing, not even a hotel will turn that around now. Very few delegate days and no tourism generated to speak of. Its future looks very bleak. SSS Manhao estimates it would bring 70,000 tourists to Nanaimo per year. Any takers? Can’t Tourism Nanaimo, the Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation, the Downtown Nanaimo Business Improvement Area, the city manager, the mayor and council see the light? Let SSS Manhao build this hotel without any ties or connection to the VICC – 70,000 visitors a year in a full hotel ran independently is the answer. Something that will never happen if tethered to the VICC.

or painter Raymond Knight, filmmaking was an art form he had never seriously considered. “It wasn’t something that I ever considered because of the way technology was,” Knight said. “To me, I could always communicate my vision through a piano or a painting rather than a film because the technology was just so beyond what I could do.” But that all changed a few years ago when Knight began taking a digital media course. That’s when a teacher began showing him the wonders of DLSR filmmaking. “It just made me realize the possibilities and I made a short film,” he said. Now, the Vancouver Island University graduate is just months away from completing his first ever full-length film, Beyond Control. “It’s been a long process,” Knight said. Beyond Control is the story of a young girl named Lucy, who is forced to examine her life after she becomes increasingly haunted by traumatic memories that she has been suppressing since childhood. “It is a movie that deals with our perception on reality of the now based off of our past,” Knight said. The Powell River native and current Nanaimo resident, began writing the script for Beyond Control in late 2012 and the film is now nearing the post-production stage. “We’ve already finished all the filming,” Knight said. “I’ve just got the rough cut together and I am just making some narrative decisions before we move onto sound

The Vancouver Island Regional Library will be celebrating Canadians’ freedom to read next week. Nanaimo-area libraries will be holding a number of events next week in honour of Freedom to Read Week, which runs from Feb. 22-26. According to Natasha Bartlett, Vancouver Island Regional Library’s communication officer, Nanaimo branches will be putting out displays of challenged books by
local authors. “Vancouver Island Regional Libraries, like a lot of libraries across the nation celebrate Freedom to Read Week ... to bring awareness to the fact that Canadians should have a right to decide for themselves what they choose to read,” Bartlett said. There will be a screening of The Interview, which was banned from movie theatres last year, at the Nanaimo North Library on Feb. 26. For a full list of Freedom to Read Week events at local library branches, please visit www.virl. bc.ca.

PUBLIC NOTICE
Water Main Flushing Regular water main flushing is an important component of a comprehensive water management program. The City of Nanaimo’s Water Main Flushing Program flushes over 90 kilometres of water supply mains and over 536 kilometres of distribution water mains. The City’s Public Works Department annually flushes potable water at a high velocity through the water mains to ensure that all piping is refreshed and minor sediment within the pipe is removed. This is one of the methods that the City uses to help keep Nanaimo’s drinking water safe and clean. The water main flushing program starts in February with crews flushing water supply mains from South Forks dam into the City. Between March and May, crews flush the in-town water distribution mains starting in the Cinnabar area then through town, finishing in the north end of Nanaimo. While this program is underway, short periods of low pressure and discoloured water may be expected. Any discolouration is temporary and not a health hazard. Residents are asked to minimize their water consumption if a change in water appearance is noticed. To clear water lines, residents are advised to turn on their cold water tap until the water runs clear. Anyone with a weakened immune system should reference information on Island Health’s website - http://www.healthlinkbc.ca/healthfiles/pdf/hfile56.pdf Advance Notification Specific areas and dates of water distribution main flushing can be located on the City of Nanaimo website www.nanaimo.ca/goto/mainflushing and social media for the duration of the program. The City of Nanaimo accepts no liability for low water pressure, inconvenience or damages caused during its flushing program. We thank you for your cooperation and apologize for any inconvenience this program may cause.

The view from Poplar Grove over Okanagan Lake is spectacular as is the Syrah, which, like the best of the winery’s reds, benefits from the extra aging afforded by cellaring it for a couple of years longer than the norm. A three-kilometre side trip to Red Rooster netted a Reserve Syrah, which exuded yummy plum and cherry from its neck, once opened! One more stop before a relaxing evening spent staring over the lake while sipping on a suite balcony at the Summerland Waterfront Resort. The snowy and very icy single track to the new Sage Hills Vineyard in Summerland required careful navigation. The reward was a barrel tasting with winemaker Andrea Lee and vineyard manager Keenan Thrussell. The new vintage had yet to be bottled but a rosé version hit the spot later! Time to return to the coast via Sandhill Wines in Kelowna. Howard Soon, a B.C. born industry pioneer, makes Syrah from vineyards in the south of the valley and a special ‘small lots’ version from a
single vineyard. By the time the rear two rows were lowered to accommodate the purchased cases of wine, the seven-seat MDX was strictly a two-seater. Despite its load, it leapt up to the Pennask Summit on the Okanagan Connector as fast the outside temperature dropped to minus five. The Coquihalla Highway was bathed in sunlight and the descent to Hope was smooth and quiet but for the rattle from the bottles. Bring on the Aussies!

Pirates get out on the grass
I
BASEBALL TEAM holds tryouts this weekend. BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
The ballpark beckons. The Nanaimo Pirates, the city’s B.C. Premier Baseball League club, got out on the grass at Serauxmen Stadium for the first time this year on a sunny Sunday. The Pirates will hold joint tryouts for the premier and junior squads this coming weekend (Feb. 21-22) at the stadium. More than 20 guys came out for the first outdoor workout after training inside at Beban Park’s Centennial Building in recent weeks. “It’s mostly just getting them out there and having some fun,” said Doug Rogers, Pirates manager. “They’re going to have a lot of rust on them and it’s just a chance for them to kind of shake the rust off, clean off the spikes.”
Baseball is a game of repetition, the manager said, so the more practices the team can get in at this stage of the year will benefit them come springtime. This week’s tryouts should be interesting. Player numbers are about average, but there is a lot of talent in the mix. “We have some players this year,” Rogers said. “I’m looking forward to the season. Whether we’re at the very top of the league or in the middle of the pack, who knows, but I’m pretty excited about what I see so far.” Players in Grade 10-12 can try out for the Pirates, and Rogers said Grade 9 players can also come out just for the tryout experience. Tryouts will be 1-4 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday at the stadium; depending on the weather, Saturday’s tryout may be moved to the Centennial Building.

be coming out flying and obviously they’re not going to be happy about the outcome of [Game 1],” he said. GAME ON … Game 2 faces off tonight (Feb. 19) at 7:15 p.m. at the Nanaimo Ice Centre. Game 3 will be Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at the Comox Valley Sports Centre and Game 4 is Monday at 7 p.m. at the NIC.
The Nanaimo Clippers have had first place sewn up for a week and a half, but they still have something to play for over these final games. The Clips want to make sure they have their game in order as the post-season awaits. Nanaimo lost all three matchups on its road trip through the Interior last weekend, falling 4-2 to the Penticton Vees, 4-1 to the Vernon Vipers and 4-1 again to the West Kelowna Warriors. “I didn’t like our game, really,” said Brett Roulston, Clippers alternate captain. “I think we got away from a lot of the stuff we tend to do well and that has brought us this far.” The Clippers have three games left on the schedule – they host the Powell River Kings this Friday (Feb. 20), then conclude the regular season the following weekend with a home-and-home series against the Victoria Grizzlies. “We just want to get back to playing our game and just focus on the process in these games and make sure that going into playoffs, we’ve got our game set,” said Jacob Hanlon, Clippers forward. “We’re not trying to add anything new… We’re so close to playoffs here, we know what our style is.” The Clippers have been playoffbound for so long now that as things wind down, it’s hard for them to resist the urge to look ahead. “It is, but every game counts,” Hanlon said. “Obviously we’re excited, but we’ve just got to try to take it one day at a time.” Roulston said it’s tough not to look forward, already, to playoffs, and he said he’s excited. “But we’re going to have to stay centred for the last few games of the season and be ready for when playoffs come around,” he said. GAME ON … The Clippers play the Kings this Friday in a 7 p.m. faceoff at Frank Crane Arena.

Buccaneers strike first in playoff series with Glacier Kings The Nanaimo Buccaneers grabbed the early edge in their playoff series. The city’s Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League team defeated the Comox Valley Glacier Kings 5-2 on Tuesday night up Island in Game 1 of the best-ofseven series. “We’re on a high right now, but it’s a long series for a reason,” said Derek Bachynski,
coach of the Buccaneers. “We’ve got to stay focused.” Nanaimo had the game in hand all night, leading 2-0 after one period and 4-0 after two. Five different Bucs tallied – Garrick Heathcote, Quinlan Moore, J o rd a n L e v e s q u e , Trent Bell and Jared Fedosoff. Jakob Severson made 24 saves for the win in goal as shots ended up 32-26 in

favour of the visitors. Bachynski said he thought the Buccaneers were the harderworking team in Game 1. “In playoffs you need that extra effort in battles and extra effort in getting to the net and especially on the backcheck and I saw a lot of those things happening,” the coach said. Nanaimo was able to chase Comox’s start-

ing goalie in the second period. Bachynski said the Buccaneers’ defensive play led to turnovers and scoring chances, and said the Bucs also created traffic and capitalized on opportunities. The series will intensify as it goes along, the coach predicted. He said the Glacier Kings will be harder to play against in Game 2. “They’re going to

DIV. 1 MEN’S side hosts Bays on Saturday.
Nanaimo United had such a good season that it earned two playoff runs. The Vancouver Island Soccer League Div. 1 team begins Jackson Cup play this Saturday (Feb. 21) with a home match against Bays United.
Nanaimo finished fourth in the table this season, good enough to edge out Bays in the standings and grab a berth at provincials in the spring. But Bays, a perennial powerhouse in the VISL, had a win and a tie in the season series and will be a tough foe. “It’s a good test,” said Jordan Reems, co-coach of United. “I think if we can pull through this
game, we’ll be on a run, for sure, but we’ve got to get through this one.” He and Mike Greenaway took over as coaches this season and recruited some key additions who helped Nanaimo finish tied for the league lead in goals. Reems said United plays with a purpose when it gains the opponents’ half. Greenaway said the key Saturday will be sticking
to the game plan. “Sometimes in those bigger games you want to divert out of your normal game style because you want to match what they’re doing, but if we can play our game like we can, we’ll be pretty good,” Greenaway said. GAME ON … Nanaimo United plays Bays at 7 p.m. Saturday at Merle Logan Field. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Winter WARMERS Stoke your inner fire with these hearty choices, specially created to keep the cold at bay.
By now you know. Adding body collagen directly reduces wrinkles, increases skin elasticity, and adds vital moisture to your skin. Indirectly, collagen thickens and strengthens your hair. You may also know that collagen production slows by 1% per year after the age of 21. Can you gain it back? Yes. But not by eating collagen. You see, collagen is a protein. When you ingest it, your body breaks it down, like any other protein, and uses it as food. When you want the real beauty benefits of collagen, you have to generate it.
