New deadline given to fix Colliery dam I

Society votes to end Empire Days events BY CHRIS BUSH THE NEWS BULLETIN

Despite efforts between the city, Snuneymuxw First Nation and Empire Days Celebrations Society representatives, society members voted to cancel Empire Days festivities for 2015. In two votes, taken at the society’s meeting Wednesday night, members cancelled the Empire Days Parade and also rejected a proposal to take part in a joint venture celebration by the city, Snuneymuxw and the Empire Days Celebration Society that would create an interim working group under a new name for the 2015 celebrations and potentially become the foundation for new celebration society that would run future Victoria Day weekend celebrations. Bob Sears, society secretary, said the voting results were a disappointing outcome after the positive meeting earlier in the week when the society’s executive board met with Nanaimo Mayor Bill McKay, Snuneymuxw First Nation Chief John Wesley and other Snuneymuxw and city representatives for about 90 minutes. “By the end of it we were looking at a joint venture to run this year’s weekend celebrations,” Sears said. The plan essentially called for volunteers from the society to provide the organizational skills, Snuneymuxw First Nation to supply coordinating skills and volunteers, and the city to help with finding local sponsors to help cover costs. “A small majority did not want to do the joint venture part,” Sears said. “So there’s a few of us kind of on the really disappointed side and one person, who’s been a chaperone for years for the kids on the float, she was having a really rough time after the meeting was over last night because she’s been doing it for 20 years or more.” See ‘NEW’ /4

PROVINCIAL AUTHORITY cites fines, water licence cancellation as possible consequences. BY TAMARA CUNNINGHAM THE NEWS BULLETIN

Bryan MacDonald, city parks employee, clears a path of dirt and debris left behind from grass edging work in Maffeo Sutton Park in February. Warm weather that’s continuing into March is helping to make landscaping chores a bit more enjoyable.

Nanaimo has 24 days to hand in a plan for the Colliery dams or risk penalties from the provincial government, a letter from the Water Management Branch shows. The City of Nanaimo has a one-month extension and orders from the province to get on with decision making for the Colliery dams. The letter warns that failure to meet the new deadline could put the city in breach of the Water Act, which can include compliance and enforcement action that ranges from charges, to an order to drain the reservoir, and suspension or cancellation of the city’s water licences. “We have to stand up and pay attention now,” said Mayor Bill McKay. “We’ve awoken the bear, so to speak.” A letter from the B.C. Water Management Branch last week comes after a request by the city for an extension of the province’s Feb. 27 deadline and a political decision four days later to change the schedule to fix the concrete structure to allow for more time to investigate and prepare a revised plan. Politicians also opted to revisit the city’s safety management program, including flood warning signage. At the time, McKay said it didn’t look like a resolution for the dams would be found by the end of February and that the ball was in the province’s court. The province has now outlined its position in a five-page letter, which orders a revised plan no later than 4 p.m. March 27. See ‘COUNCIL’ /5

Board waives gymnasium rental costs Nanaimo school trustees have voted to waive gym rental fees for the Junior All Native Basketball Tournament coming to Nanaimo in late March. The Snuneymuxw First Nation is the tournament host and the gyms at John Barsby Secondary, Nanaimo District Secondary and Georgia Avenue Elementary schools have been booked for games and use as a cafeteria for participants. Rental of the two high school gyms would’ve cost $6,950 for five days and the elementary school gym rental was set at $458 for three days’ usage. “It’s something we’ve done in the past and I think it’s in good community spirit,” said Steve Rae, school board chairman. “I think it’s an important event and we all feel it’s an important event and we feel this would be something that we should continue.” Organizers also asked that $4,222 in custodial fees be waived, but Rae said the school board is examining that, with a staff report set for March’s board meeting. “We’re going to figure out how that works because we haven’t got it budgeted, so we need to figure out if that’s feasible or not,” said Rae. Paul Wyse-Seward, organizer, coach and Snuneymuxw band councillor, said the tournament will provide an economic boost for the city. “It’s just a partnership thing and it’s the community working together and they’re all high school students that are participating in this tournament from all over the province,” said Wyse-Seward. The tournament runs from March 22-27, during spring break, and the championship takes place at the Vancouver Island University gym. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

PuBlic foruM also discusses budget priorities. By Karl yu The News BulleTiN

Half the parents at a consultation meeting at John Barsby Secondary School supported school closures or saw them as a necessity. School closures were one of the topics discussed during Thursday’s consultation meeting, the second of three scheduled in Nanaimo school district to discuss the 10-year facilities plan. The facilities plan resulted in shuttering a number of schools and the public forum afforded parents and concerned citizens the opportunity to provide feedback on the plan and 2015-16 school budget. Half of 10 discussion groups Thursday night supported closures or saw them as a necessity. Martin Leduc, a parent from Cedar, has

Deb Marshall, principal of John Barsby Secondary, records the thoughts of her group during a public forum Thursday night. Parents, citizens and school trustees and staff discussed the 10-year facilities plan and the 2015-16 school budget.

seen schools in his area closed and while he’s not necessarily opposed to that, he doesn’t agree

with the Cedar closure/ conversion project currently on hold. “There’s difficult deci-

sions to be made and I think that closing schools in a neighbourhood is not a bad thing, but you have to give the community something to look forward to after the bloodshed,” Leduc said. “We’ve amalgamated all these schools together. We’ve reduced the cost of having numerous facilities and the benefit is you have a larger facility. The students have more access to the staff they need and maybe the equipment and by that extension, more afterschool, more community involvement within the structure itself,” said Leduc. Valentina Cardinalli, a parent with a child at Chase River Elementary, hasn’t had to deal with a closure, but Chase River was a catchment school for South Wellington Elementary’s closure. Cardinalli isn’t in favour of closures and said the South Wellington children have been fitting in nicely, but closures can cause hardships for students and parents.

“They’re integrating so well in the school, but they’re heartbroken because schools are the heart of a community and the burden of the school closures ends up falling on the parents’ shoulders because it’s a cost in time and money for them to go so far away,” said Cardinalli. Similar to the Dover Bay Secondary forum, attendees had the chance to identify top budget priorities. The top three consisted of closing/consolidating schools, reopening Cedar Secondary School and building a new Nanaimo District Secondary School, with an addendum for consolidating Woodlands Secondary. The school district is facing a $4-million deficit and the budget is expected to be passed by the end of April. Another budget meeting is scheduled for Vancouver Island Conference Centre on March 19.

Medical marijuana CEO has sights set on global expansion By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN

Tilray’s new chief executive officer wants to make medical cannabis as commonplace in Nanaimo “as maple syrup and hockey” to people outside of Canada. Greg Engel, a former pharmaceutical executive, took the reins of the Nanaimo-based medical marijuana company in January, with a vision to not only meet patient demand in this country, but also look at potential global expansion. Tilray launched its first product out of Nanaimo last year. According to Engel, it quickly saw patient demand outstrip its ability to supply product, but lacked full approval by Health Canada for all of its grow rooms. The authority had been limit-

ing production of licensed producers. Today, Tilray has 34 of its 40 rooms approved and should be in position come April or May to supply the market based on near-full capacity. It also looks to spend up to $75 million to expand its operations on nearby properties, which would boost its capacity for growth, packaging and research and development. Tilray has also applied for a medical cannabis licence in Uruguay with an eye for global expansion. Health Canada does not currently permit the export of medical marijuana, so Tilray would be looking to establish in other marketplaces, Engel said. The idea is to hone skills in Canada and ensure the company is delivering the best product

possible under guidelines and then take that expertise elsewhere globally, he added. “We are seeing a real shift in the market as medical cannabis becomes much more widely accepted,” he said. “There’s additional data, additional research ongoing that’s really moved it from kind of the background ... into the forefront as a treatment option and we expect the market will continue to open up for that.” Uruguay presented an opportunity with guidelines that looked favourable about how companies would operate and what the licensing process would look like but it’s still in the early stages for Tilray and its decision to set up. Despite the aim to establish beyond Canada’s borders, Engel said the goal is to put Nanaimo

Our goal is to make medical cannabis in Nanaimo as commonplace as ... maple syrup and hockey, to people outside Canada,” he said, adding he’s confident the company is in the right place and position for growth. Engel comes to Tilray with a background that includes positions as former general manager of Forest Laboratories Canada and chief operating officer of Northern Therapeutics. He says the idea all along was to bring in a Canadian CEO. Former chief executive officer Brendan Kennedy remains the CEO of Tilray’s parent company, Privateer Holdings, based in the U.S. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Cold weather shelter might close

mild WiNtEr saw reduction in funding for operations.

Despite full beds and subfreezing nights, the First Unitarian Fellowship of Nanaimo Extreme Weather Shelter might be forced to cut its winter season short because of a mild winter that has eaten up cash reserves. Kevan Griffith, shelter coordinator, said the facility has been at capacity or more throughout the winter season, but he can only bill the province when weather reaches

certain conditions. “Normally in the winter we get about 90-odd nights of extreme weather,” he said. “We didn’t get that this year. We only got about a third of it.” Overall mild conditions meant the shelter relied more heavily on its funding from the city and Regional District of Nanaimo. The shelter also opened a few days earlier than normal because of the early onset of cold weather in November. The province pays $726 per night to cover operational costs on nights when it is 2 C outside and windy, or 0 C and clear, or there is extreme rain-

fall and wind, Griffith said. The shelter will require about $19,000 to continue operations until March 31, the shelter’s normal winter season closing date, but Griffith also said he could reopen the shelter should extreme weather conditions return. He said he hopes the province will come through with additional cash to keep the shelter open. “We’ve been so full and turning away people every night,” Griffith said. “It’s sad.” The shelter is also accepting donations to help maintain operations. To donate, please call 250-755-1215 or visit http://ufon.ca.

Council pressured for decision From /1

The city has completed “numerous” studies and has sufficient information and options to make an informed decision, according to Glen Davidson, comptroller of water rights and the letter’s author, who says the proposed labyrinth spillway, surface hardening of the dams, auxiliary spillway and removal are all viable options to reduce risk posed by the lower dam’s undersized spillway. The letter also says studies and remediation options for the middle dam are possible, and that the city can’t remove emergency evacuation signage until dam safety hazards have been addressed. “We’re going to have to have a real frank discussion with our council as to what stand we are going to take, understanding that a higher authority has stated quite clearly that they have expectations of us and if not we will face consequences,” said McKay, who suggests consulting legal counsel. “You have certain members of council that may choose to take on the province.” news@nanaimobulletin.com

Fuller plans return to city council seat I firST-TiME councillor back just five weeks after heart attack. By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN

Stick ’em up

Brianna Hughes, a student from Nanaimo Christian School, watches classmate Leanna Milligan place a sticky note on a Post-it Positive campaign banner at Woodgrove Centre Wednesday. The Post-it Positive campaign, featuring pink sticky notes on which participants write supportive messages they can leave for others, was the backdrop for the mall’s Anti-Bullying Day celebrations.

Trustees consider moving school board meetings By Karl yu The News BulleTiN

Nanaimo school district staff will examine the feasibility of moving all board and committee meetings to Shaw Auditorium at Vancouver Island Conference Centre. Trustees requested a report on the subject at the February board meeting, which is expected to be completed by late April. The idea was inspired when Steve Rae, school board chairman, attended a Nanaimo city council meeting in the auditorium. “It struck me when I was

there that it’s a very professional building. It offers things that our current building doesn’t have. If we’re going to continue in that building, we’re going to have to spend money. [Shaw Auditorium] is relatively inexpensive to go there – it’s like $250 a night,” said Rae. In addition to a change of venue, a revamping of question period is something that will be considered. As it stands, meeting attendees submit questions on a sheet of paper, which are read by the meeting chairperson. A committee will be formed to examine the current format

and report back to the board in June. “We’re going to go through a report to see how other districts do it and that’s a big part of it is question period. Do we do it during the meeting? Do people get to talk to us directly?” Rae said. “We’re going to see the pluses and minuses of doing it the way we do it and we’re going to try to change it if that’s what the [sentiment] is.” School trustees will have an opportunity to test out Shaw Auditorium as a budget meeting is scheduled there on March 19. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Coun. Gord Fuller is planning for his return to council just five weeks after suffering a major heart attack. “I’m going to give it about a month, that’s what we think it will take,” said Fuller, who aims to take things slow but finds it tough not to be at the council table. “This was the fifth time I tried to get on council and I finally made it and along comes a bad heart. It’s a bit frustrating but I’ll get there.” Fuller, a first-time Nanaimo city councillor and community advocate, is recovering at home after suffering a massive heart attack in late January that had him on life support. He was found slumped in his vehicle on the side of the road in cardiac arrest Jan. 25 and was immediately given CPR by a Good Samaritan. As soon as the news was made public, social media was teeming with well wishes and support from residents. A Go Fund Me account for Fuller was also set up. It’s phenomenal, says Fuller, who has taken to social media to let people know he “beat the odds” and to thank them for their support. “I do things for others not expecting any reward whatsoever and then when something happens to me, and the num-

ber of people that have come forward, the thank yous, the offers of prayers ... the support that’s been out there, it brings me to tears, literally, that I am respected that much,” Fuller said. He has also met with Randy Cobb, the man who gave him CPR when he went into cardiac arrest and whom Fuller had happened to have gone to school with decades ago. Call it a miracle or a “hell of a coincidence,” Fuller says, but if Cobb hadn’t been there, recognized he was unconscious and started CPR, “I wouldn’t be talking to you right now.” Fuller said it was his first heart attack and said it signals that it’s time for him to look after himself, not just others. He has been a community advocate since 2002, and currently runs a community assistance program for the chronically homeless through the Nanaimo Youth Services Association.

EDITORIAL

All empires fall sooner or later It seems to be inevitable of empires that they eventually fall and are relegated to the history books as a chapter in human civilization. We stopped celebrating the Romans, the Ottomans and now the British. The Nanaimo Empire Day Celebration Society’s membership officially voted to cancel all May long weekend events this year after the City of Nanaimo significantly cut back the level of civic funding. For years, groups like the multicultural society and Snuneymuxw First Nation highlighted the oppressive nature of the term ‘empire’ and asked that the nearly 150-year-old festival be renamed to a more inclusive moniker. ‘Empire’ is a holdover from colonial times when it was acceptable to impose one nation’s way of life on another. The term was dropped by British Parliament in 1958; it’s moved on and it’s time we did, too. But moving on doesn’t mean erasing our history. Prior to the society’s vote, Nanaimo Mayor Bill McKay, city staff and members of Snuneymuxw met with the group to discuss tweaking the event to celebrate all contributions to Nanaimo’s heritage. Without the Empire Day Society, though, no one is spearheading that proposal. McKay has put the word out that he’s looking for community groups to take up the challenge to organize a community heritage festival on the May long weekend. We hope it happens. It would be a way for our community to march forward, literally. Wouldn’t it be fantastic to see a parade with entries by Snuneymuxw, Chinese and Sikh communities to expand the cultural diversity of Nanaimo’s celebrations? If that doesn’t sound like Empire Days anymore, well, that’s sort of the point. If that isn’t the way things used to be in the old days, that’s because the old days are history.

When the British public discovered that not only was their Dasani actually tap water from a London suburb, but also that an early batch mineral content was defective, demand fell off so decisively that that product was pulled from that market within five weeks of its launch. As for consumption of dairy products to provide essential calcium intake, one study concludes that a high milk intake in both sexes is associated with higher mortality and fracture rates, not to mention other negative factors, a pattern not observed with high intake of fermented milk products.

Empire Days name divides community To the Editor,

Re: Society recommends cancelling annual Empire Days events, Feb. 24. The celebration of ‘empire’ is anachronistic and highly offensive. Allowing the offensive name ‘Empire Days’ to carry on without acknowledging or challenging its association to a painful colonial history generates ill will and divisiveness. The Empire Days society has the right to organize a day called Empire Days. We, however, also have the right to express our view that public funds should not be going to an event that celebrates, in its name, such a harmful aspect of our history. We want public funds to go to an event that reflects our desire for an inclu-

sive community and one that we can all feel good about. This is not an issue of ‘free speech.’ Rather this is an issue of setting a standard for community where all members are respected. The impact of colonization and empires are not things of the past. Vanishing indigenous languages, theft of land, and loss of culture are some of the legacies of our colonial past and not to be celebrated. This is an issue of social justice. While there may be various views on this question, staying silent is not an option. If we wait for unanimity, change never happens.

Chris Bowers, Terre Flower, Maria Gomes, Cheryl Ward

To the Editor,

Re: City should have backed Empire Days, Letters, Feb. 24. Just ask yourselves where we would be as a civilization without all those prior empires from which we continue to learn and grow; they all had faults but if we decide to ignore them by this form of treatment we have learned nothing. We cannot undo the harm that may have been done but we can and must continue to learn and implement the lessons that have been learned; demanding that an organization change its name is akin to trying to ignore history.

Student debt burden too much to bear Prank merits Re: Students protest debt with mock ceremony, Feb. 24 Newly appointed Minister of Advanced Education Andrew Wilkinson is quoted espousing the affordability of B.C.’s post-secondary system. Here are some facts that more honestly reflect the B.C. government’s record on education. According to B.C. Stats, about 50 per cent of students incur debt to attend university or college. The Bank of Montreal has done additional research and it found that on average, B.C. students graduate

CHRIS BUSH/THe NewS BUlleTIN

VIU students who feel ‘married’ to their student debt cut the cake at a mock ceremony last month.

with over $35,000 of debt. Tuition fees at Vancouver Island University have increased by over 300 per cent since 2001. That means that since this gov-

ernment first took office, students have been forced to endure tuition fee increases that outstrip inflation by nearly 10 times. By misleading the

public about education funding and affordability, the provincial government is negatively impacting this and future generations of British Columbians. Student debt is at an all-time high, funding continues to fall, and underemployment or unemployment is the norm for people leaving school to enter the workforce. Students are simply asking for leadership from the B.C. government, to secure a future in our province that includes opportunity for future generations.

punishment To the Editor,

Re: Threat cancels morning class, Feb. 12. It has been a long time since I last attended high school, but unlike the pinhead who called in, I would have just not gone in on that particular day instead of doing this stunt that greatly inconvenienced the rest of the students’ rights to have a high school education. I hope this student gets busted and then gets expelled with some serious dose of reality instead of just the usual meaningless punishment.

Increased self-reliance is the best solution to widespread poverty To the Editor,

Re: Poverty affects thousands of city’s children, Jan. 20. Poverty as we know it is an unavoidable manifestation from the dependence on a hyper-capitalist system. If you have ever played Monopoly, the game ends with only one winner and everyone else is a loser. Attaching socialism to that hyper-capitalistic

equation leads to compromise, abandonment and a deterioration of what used to unify us. Globalism has only exacerbated this system where the global elite, multinational corporations and social special interest groups act together against the masses by creating divisions and dependence for their gain by destroying the natural cohesion of

self-reliant units, communities and nations. Big industry profits come from the surplus of manpower which naturally keeps competing worker’s wages low and siphons the excess to the top one per cent. This has led to the global shrinking of the middle class due to debt and the rising cost of living. Depending on the government to solve social woes

is a dead end as those in the government are already bought by the special interest that funded their positions. My solution is we should become agriculturally and economically self-reliant, totally self-owned and autonomous in our own regions. It is called being human again.

Festival

Brand new festival will take over the Harbour City this month

Nanaimo NICHOLAS PESCOD/THE NEWS BULLETIN

Festival Nanaimo co-organizer Margot Holmes, above, stands on a pier at the Nanaimo harbour. Holmes is hoping the month-long festival becomes an annual event.

BY NICHOLAS PESCOD THE NEWS BULLETIN

here will be no shortage of arts and entertainment events in the Harbour City this month. Beginning on Thursday (March 5) a brand new month-long festival known as Festival Nanaimo, will kick off its first event at the Port Theatre when musician Chase Padgett takes the stage. Festival co-organizer Margot Holmes said Festival Nanaimo combines music, arts, dance and other activities into one large scale festival. “The concept around it was that it is March and there is lots going on in the arts,” Holmes said. “People are looking for things to do in Nanaimo, so why not create a fes-

tival that includes a whole pile of events?” There will be plenty of different musical acts performing during Festival Nanaimo, including live performances by Barney Bentall, the Irish Rovers, John Mann, Jim Byrnes and Joëlle Rabu. Holmes said festival organizers wanted to make sure that Festival Nanaimo included a wide range of musical acts. “It is an opportunity to bring in different genres of music,” Holmes said. In addition to the musical performances, Festival Nanaimo will feature plenty of activities for the whole family, including a dance workshop by Crimson Coast Dance, a historical display by the Nanaimo Archives, a music camp hosted

Inbrief

city scene

Commercial Street diner closed late last month Tina’s Diner closed last week after more than 10 years as downtown breakfast hotspot. Paul Abgall and Tina Worsley moved the restaraunt’s equipment out of premises at 187 Commercial St. on Feb. 23. A post on the restaurant’s Facebook page said it was a long series of events, including the sale of the building, owned by Robert and Angie Bernard, former owners of the Painted Turtle Guesthouse, that led to the business finally closing. Robert Bernard confirmed the building is for sale, but has so far not been sold and existing tenants, which include Generations Barbershop, Georgia Strait Alliance and Black Key Studios have leases that continue for the next two years. Discussing any future for the building would be speculation at this point, he said. “We are looking to sell,” Bernard said. “It might be selling fairly soon, but the documents haven’t been signed yet.” The Bernards have owned the building since 2009. Tina’s Diner was the latest of a series of diners, including Roxy’s Diner and Flo’s Diner, that have operated from 187 Commercial St. over several decades.

CHAMBER CHAT Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce CEO

Kim Smythe

By now everyone is very familiar with a phenomenon that started in many cities about a decade ago where food is sold and served curbside from a truck or trailer with a kitchen on board. What started as hot dog carts in the park has grown to include a wide variety of foods served from mobile locations – sometimes ethnic, often featuring local or organic ingredients, usually served in paper wrap or trays, and somehow best enjoyed while you’re hanging out on a street corner. Hours of television programming are devoted to ‘street eats’ and, in most cities, thousands of people daily dine at one of these colourful and creative ‘restaurants on wheels.’ Victoria and Vancouver are great examples, but even Courtenay, Duncan and Parksville are developing a food truck culture. But not so much in Nanaimo. A couple of food trucks made appearances in recent years and struggled to survive regulatory approval, appropriate operating terms and spaces, and customers in the locations the city would permit. Unfortunately, most failed under the weight of bureaucracy. The Vancouver Island Food Truck Association, a loose-knit group of operators, are trying to break through in some smaller communities

that have been a challenge – ours included. A few enthusiastic entrepreneurs are proposing a new approach to the city through the Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce. It’s well known from experience that food trucks and carts do not pose an unfair advantage over restaurant operators. Food trucks act as an attraction and a destination unto themselves. When gathered together, they present a roving ‘food festival.’ When used to provide food at community events, in festivals and in parks, they are a lively addition to the festivities replacing the tired, old approach to concession stands a city would operate, or license, a permanent structure to churn out the same old, same old dogs and fries or plastic-wrapped, pre-made sandwiches. Is Nanaimo ready? Can you see it now – on our city streets downtown, at our beaches, in our parks? Should we support and encourage our community to seek ‘friendly’ regulation and permitting policies? If you say yes, let mayor and council know or tell the chamber you’re on board with street eats in Nanaimo. Please call me or e-mail your opinion to ceo@nanaimochamber. bc.ca or 250-756-1191.

VIU comes back to win championship I

Dolphins runners-up on Island

MARINERS V-BALL team beats Camosun in five-set thriller. BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN

The VIU Mariners took their game to another level when it mattered most, and won a championship. Vancouver Island University’s women’s volleyball team defeated the host Camosun Chargers in the PacWest final on Saturday night in Victoria in a five-set thriller, 15-25, 21-25, 26-24, 25-14, 15-12. “Once we finally understood what it was going to take, we all just came together and did our own jobs,” said Tylar Turnbull, team captain. “Once we figured that out and got in that mindset, everything came together one by one.” The home team came out and dominated the first set and then won the second set, too, but VIU, the veteran-laden defending champs, knew the match was far from over. “Until that heartbeat goes away, we’ve just got to keep pumping it,” said Shane Hyde, coach of the Mariners. Down two sets to none, there was pressure, but at the same time, Turnbull said, there wasn’t any pressure, because at that point, the Mariners felt like they had nothing to lose and could go out there and just play. VIU made minor adjustments to the game plan, said Hyde, including on blocking and defence, and tried to attack more often from the middle of the court. And it turned out that the

Vancouver Island University Mariners volleyball players embrace moments after match point of the Pacific Western Athletic Association championship on Saturday night at Victoria’s Pacific Institute for Sport Excellence.

Mariners had another level of volleyball. Midway through the match, VIU started making kills with deadly accuracy. The defence started digging out every Chargers attack. “We just had a united mindset that we were not going to let any ball touch the ground without any sort of effort and we were all going to put each other on our back and we were going to win this game,” said Kelsey Johnson, VIU libero. It carried into the fifth set. The M’s somehow looked calm in building in 8-3 lead at the side switch, and although they gave it all back to fall behind 10-9,

they regained control. Match point was a wild rally that ended with a kill from Megan Groenendijk, player of the game. The comeback victory was a microcosm of the season for the VIU Mariners – facing adversity and overcoming. “Every time something good would happen, we’d get kicked

right back down,” Johnson said. “So watching us grow from the beginning, it’s just incredible how far we’ve come.” Turnbull, Groenendijk and Johnson were selected as tournament all-stars. The M’s women will compete at the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association championships in Longueuil, Que. beginning March 12. The VIU Mariners men’s volleyball team ended its season with bronze medals, defeating the Columbia Bible College Bearcats earlier Saturday by scores of 25-22, 28-26, 27-25. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Clippers face off tonight in first-round playoff series The Nanaimo Clippers had the sort of regular season that leads to high hopes for the playoffs. The city’s first-place junior A hockey club (3716-0-5) begins the postseason tonight (March 3) with Game 1 of a best-ofseven series against the Alberni Valley Bulldogs. “It’s exciting,” said Brendan Taylor, Clippers captain. “We played Alberni I think two years ago and they upset us. They’re a good team. I think we’ve just got to be ready to play and if we play our game, we have full confidence in our team.”

The Clippers dropped their last two regular-season games to the Victoria Grizzlies this past weekend, losing 4-3 in double overtime Friday at Frank Crane Arena and then falling 5-4, also in double OT, the next night down the Malahat. Sheldon Rempal scored twice for Nanaimo on Friday, with Brett Roulston scoring the other goal. In Saturday’s rematch, Jake Jackson, Brendan Shane, Cole Maier and Nicolas Carrier were Nanaimo’s goal scorers. Taylor said the games against the Grizz were

Nanaimo’s “final practice games” for the playoffs. “Getting our lines more consistent with the chemistry and stuff like that is a big thing we’re working on,” he said. He picked up an assist in each game and finishes as Nanaimo’s leading scorer in 2014-15 with 59 points in 58 games. Rempal ends up as top goal scorer with 29. GAME ON … Tonight’s game is a 7 p.m. faceoff at Frank Crane Arena. Game 2 is Wednesday, also a 7 p.m. faceoff at Frank Crane. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

The Dover Bay Dolphins played for an Island championship, and there’s still much more to play for. The senior AAAA boys’ basketball team was runner-up at the Vancouver Island championships this past weekend in Victoria, and will have to survive a challenge game to reach provincials. The Dolphins fell 98-68 to the Oak Bay Bays in Saturday night’s final at Mt. Doug Secondary. “The main thing we tried to do was work hard and we came in and did that, so we were successful in that area, but sometimes that doesn’t [lead to] a win,” said Christian Wigmore, a first-team all-star. Carson Williams, Dolphins coach, said he was proud of the way his guys played over the course of the tourney, in which they beat Belmont 64-35 and then defeated Vanier 76-64 to make the final. “They’ve been working so hard all year and to see them come together at the end and really play the kind of basketball we’ve been trying to play all year was really great to see as a coach.” Wigmore led Dover with 14 points and Benjamin Davies and Gary Gladstone scored 10 apiece. Jeff Webb was chosen a second-team all-star. The runner-up finish at Islands wasn’t enough for the Dolphins to advance because they didn’t play the third-place Cowichan Thunderbirds at the tourney. The T-birds are a big team and will be tough in the challenge game this Tuesday (March 3) at 7 p.m. at the Dover Bay Secondary School gym. Continued /27

“We’ve been playing in a lot of tough games. I think we’re used to the big games,” said Williams. “We just have to play well and execute and hope our shots are falling.” The Dolphins are a bit beat up after the grind of North Islands and Islands, but they’ll dig deep for a do-or-die game Tuesday night. “It’s going to be wild,” Wigmore predicted. “Both teams coming in there with the season on the line, Grade 12s knowing this could be their last game of the season. The energy’s going to be up and it’s going to be so much fun. I’m so excited.”
