dents it draws from Wellington Secondary School. “We’re feeding their mouths, feeding their tummies, feeding their souls in a very subtle way,” Hovestad said. Also on this summer’s agenda is the creation of a gathering space behind the church. A dedication ceremony and laying of the cornerstone of the church constructed in 1930 is scheduled for Aug. 30. The actual anniversary on Nov. 28 will be celebrated at Royal Canadian Legion Branch 256. For more information, including coming events, please visit www. standrewsnanaimo.ca.
With the go-ahead given by Nanaimo school district trustees in late April, district staff are working to get Cedar Secondary School up and running in time for the 2016 school year. The school was being converted to an elementary school as part of the 10-year facilities plan, but the current board reversed that decision. According to the district, steps to implement conversion include the establishment of a school construction committee and a school consolidation working group and ongoing consultation with architect firm KMBR Architects Planners Inc. General instruction rooms can be easily converted back, according to an update provided by Pete Sabo, school district director of planning and operations, at the May 13 business committee meeting. “There’s a number of improvements made to those rooms that are perfectly suitable for secondary,” Sabo said. “We’ve added extra network, extra outlets, mounts and we’re going to get equipment for ceiling projectors, etc., so basically, some of the work just results in upgraded classrooms.” Sabo said the architect had its attention on areas that were presenting challenges, including conversion of rooms back to science labs. “There’s the business ed rooms, which had been made smaller with a collaboration area in between, so we’re looking at models that could see us keeping that configuration or using another room in the school as business, and then technology space, which was three rooms divided into two, and we’re having discussions around what that technology might look like,” he said. Approximately $1 million has been set aside in the school district’s 2015-16 budget for the work. Sabo said a school construction committee meeting is expected to be held in late May or early June.

ST. ANDREW’S PRESBYTERIAN dates to 1865. BY CHRIS BUSH THE NEWS BULLETIN
St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church will host a vintage car and antique show this weekend as part of a series of events scheduled throughout the summer to celebrate the congregation’s 150th anniversary in Nanaimo. St. Andrew’s Presbyterian was established in 1865 by Rev. Robert Jamieson, who held services in Nanaimo’s courthouse until a sanctu-
ary was constructed on Fitzwilliam Street in 1866. Nanaimo’s population was about 600 people then and 19 of them were listed on the Presbyterian communion roll, which included coal and railway developer Robert Dunsmuir. In 1902 a movement started to amalgamate the large number of church denominations under the United Church. “Between 1902 and 1925 this was hugely, hotly debated and our congregation did not become part of that union, which is why we’re the oldest continuing Presbyterian congregation,” said Karen Hovestad,

congregation member. In 1930, the cornerstone was laid for a new church building at the corner of Franklyn and Robson streets, which remained the congregation’s place of worship until 1972 when the property was sold. A new, multipurpose building was constructed at the corner of Departure Bay Road and Wassel Way where congregation continues to worship in its newest sanctuary opened in 1988. The multipurpose building remains home to various church programs, including a community lunch on Thursdays that feeds about 150 per week, including about 110 stu-

City will argue its case on dams
I
COUNCIL VOTES to appeal Dam Safety Section deadline. BY GREG SAKAKI The NeWS BulleTIN
The city will move forward with an appeal to try to buy itself more time to get its dam decision right. In a split vote Tuesday, Nanaimo city council chose to pursue an appeal and a stay of the Dam Safety Section’s order to remediate the Colliery dams within six months. Coun. Bill Bestwick made the two-part motion that the

city make the appeal and also meet with the province to present the city’s arguments. Bestwick said Nanaimo is being asked to spend millions over and above any likely damages from a flood event. He said the most recent reports show that the dams are seismically strong and suggested that a dam breach won’t lead to death and destruction. “The downstream damages [would be] in the low millions and we’re being asked to spend quadruple – millions over and above what the loss of property and life will be,” Bestwick said. “So there’s kind of been a costbenefit analysis.”
The city’s solicitor Reece Harding told council Tuesday that he doesn’t foresee an appeal being successful, but Bestwick said he thinks the appeal will have a greater chance of success if a Nanaimo delegation gets the chance to state its case to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. “What I hope is that we can get it down to a reasonable, acceptable level of risk…” Bestwick said. “I would like to see the least expensive, least intrusive [solution], a lowered classification from the Dam Safety Section, and that we accept the risk.” sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Heritage Days deemed success
I
plaNNiNg to start earlier for 2016. By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN
Nanaimo Heritage Days will likely improve with age, say promoters and organizers. Organizers were under the gun to get a new parade, fireworks and other activities arranged in time for the May long weekend after Empire Days celebrations were cancelled in February, but vendors, local
entertainers and community groups managed to carry out the weekend celebration. “It was a beautiful, big turnout,” said Angie Barnard, event coordinator. She said she heard some disappointment in turnout for the beer gardens, which estimates pegged at about 100 people, and for music in Diana Krall Plaza. “I was thrilled with the number of parade participants in such a short period of time,” Barnard said. “It takes a lot of work, in some cases, to put those floats together and
rally enough people to make it work.” Coun. Jerry Hong and the Nanaimo Youth Action Committee entered a slipand-slide-themed float.Hong estimated 38 floats and would like to see as many as 60 enter in 2016. He credited community sponsorship and support of the inaugural Nanaimo Heritage Days for its success. “The turnout was spectacular,” Hong said. “The community stepped up and we had more than enough volunteers.” Hong, who will be a technical advisor to
next year’s planning committee, agreed with Barnard that an advisory committee and formation of the Nanaimo Heritage Days Society will allow planning to start earlier for 2016. “The key thing is getting enough advance planning so that we can get the marketing and sponsorship right, so we can give those people who are contributing enough bang for their investment,” Barnard said.

Central Vancouver Island financial institutions are inviting the public to join a fitness challenge for a good cause. On Sunday (May 24), the Run for Life fundraiser will help Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation raise $1.5 million for the purchase of equipment still needed for the newly opened operating rooms at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. Last year, the hospital completed more than 13,200 surgical procedures. The two new rooms mean an increase of operating
rooms from eight to 10. Since 2004, Run for Life has raised more than $180,000 for the purchase of life-changing medical equipment at the hospital. Organizers have challenged runners, and their pledgers, to break all previous records by raising more than $50,000 and registering more than 250 runners in this year’s fun run/walk. Participants are encouraged to register at www.nanaimo hospitalfoundation.com/run, personalize their fundraising page, then invite family and friends to make a donation. Register before Friday (May 22) for the early bird price of $20. Brochures with more information can be found at participating banks.

EDITORIAL
It’s a nice day to bike to work
If there’s a monsoon next week, blame Bike to Work Week. All joking aside, cyclists should be able to look forward to some sunny skies. That hasn’t always been the case in past years, but it would be appreciated, because we hope Bike to Work Week is successful. The annual cycling awareness event starts Monday (May 25) in Nanaimo and around B.C. as part of a provincial government initiative to get more people pedalling. Commuters are invited to challenge themselves by registering for Bike to Work Week as individuals or as part of a team, and they’re encouraged to cycle through ‘celebration stations’ where they can enter prize draws and receive refreshments. Students can also participate by signing up to bike to school. If people commit to two-wheeled commuting, or if they don’t, there are indications that Nanaimo is becoming a more cycle-friendly city. New bike lanes have been built and painted in recent months on Bowen Road, Bruce Avenue and Bush Street, with the expectation of more to come. Nanaimo’s previous city council clearly set out cycling as a priority when it approved, one year ago, a transportation master plan that seeks to quintuple bike trips over the next 25 years. That mindset could even carry over to other types of city planning, as the municipality envisions development densifying into community hubs with shopping and services concentrated for ease of travel for cyclists and pedestrians. And there are dreams of a rail trail pathway that could create bicycle tourism, especially if other Vancouver Island communities have the same idea. We support those who wish to be spokespeople – pun intended – during Bike to Work Week, and we hope everyone else will at least share the road. It’s a nice day for a bike ride, and it’s always a nice day to contribute to a cleaner city.

The council considers complaints from the public about the conduct of member newspapers. Directors oversee the mediation of complaints, with input from both the newspaper and the complaint holder.

is pressure to sell. Perhaps Letnick is right, and the ALC will stop productive farmland from being turned back into forest. While we’re waiting for that, here are a couple of other questions. What happens when these forests burn? The first big forest fire of 2015 grew out of control near Prince George last week. And since aspen doesn’t last 100 years, what is its real carbon offset value? How’s that European carbon trading market doing? It’s a mess, with the cost of emitting a tonne of carbon dioxide fallen far below what’s needed to be effective. Remember B.C’s Pacific Carbon Trust? This Gordon Campbell brainchild to sell carbon offsets was quietly greenhouse gassed after the Auditor General revealed its first two big projects were of questionable value. Finally, does anyone really think that returning B.C.’s scarce farmland to forest is a good way to change the weather? Would it offset the loss of local production and trucking in farm produce from elsewhere? And where are B.C.’s tireless food security advocates on this dubious scheme? ◆ Tom Fletcher is columnist and legislature reporter for Black Press.

Buyer beware
Save the baby seals
Can someone enlighten me as to why the majority of Chinese manufactured products I purchase end up broken, and usually very soon after purchase? I have to search hardware stores, and my personal accumulation of discarded bits and pieces to fix or end up throwing them out in disgust. The concepts are good, and the items attractively presented, but the components

are not adequately thought out with regards to wear, and function; and the materials usually inferior. I have never experienced this with Ameri-
can and European products. Unfortunately, this is an environmental disposal disaster in the ‘making.’

I am a person whom still thinks the Canadian baby seal hunt is wrong. I am sad to hear 400,000 is the number the Canadian fisheries will allow to be clubbed and skinned just for the fur. Many countries such as Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and the European union have banned the import and export of seal furs. The ancient Inuit hunters who wore the skins of mature animals they hunted for food did so with honour as this was how they survived in the natural world. Those who wear the skins of the baby seals of a mass commercial slaughter do so with dishonour. Having respect for nature should not be viewed as a subjective value of the times because having respect for others creatures stems from the immutable objective value system coded in us. Apart from animal rights groups the general public outcry against the unethical seal hunt has waned because of both apathy and from being disconnected and de-sensitized over the years. Our modern, competitive, materialistic, debt ridden, social media obsessed and hyper-capitalist society is entrapping humanity in a state of perpetual adolescence because there is little time to consider true values, purity of soul, conservation and universal truths.

Coast Guard is important emergency service for ships To the Editor,
Re: Coast Guard hysteria sinks lower, Opinion, April 30. The “ship monitoring stations” that the columnist refers to are more than just that. Coast Guard Marine Communications and Traffic Services Centres perform two distinct but complementary functions.
They provide vessel traffic services, much like air traffic control for ships, and provide communications and coordination to detect distress situations similar to a 911 centre for mariners. They also broadcast maritime safety information, screen vessels entering Canadian waters and more.
Industry Minister James Moore is quoted as saying that “these fears were also raised back in the ’60s and ’70s, when lighthouses were de-staffed.” The last round of lighthouse destaffing in the late ’90s was halted after only a few lighthouses had been destaffed. The recent 30-minute
outage in Prince Rupert should be a wake-up call. For people on the water it was the equivalent of air-traffic control and 911 being out of service from Vancouver Island to Alaska. When you get in trouble on the water, seconds count.

Downtown event dreams big
I
ARTISTS GATHER at Diana Krall Plaza on Saturday (May 23). By Nicholas Pescod The NewS BulleTiN
Nanaimoites will have the opportunity to not only share their hopes and dreams, but realize them through works of art. That’s the basis behind a brand-new event called The Art of Life Dreams, which will take place Saturday (May 23) at Diana Krall Plaza. Organized by local artist and life coach Janet McDonald, the event will see a number of artists and life coaches converge on the downtown plaza, where they will be taking people’s dreams and transforming them into paintings. “We will have life coaching on hand so people can get their 15-minute life coaching session around a life dream of theirs,” McDonald said. “Out of it they will determine a word or phrase that represents that dream that the artist will then work from.” The artist will paint a person’s dream on an 8 x 10 canvas. Participants will then have the opportunity to purchase their painted dreams for $45. “The paintings will vary because we have artists who
are more abstract and we have got artists who do a little more representational [work]. So the artwork will be all over the map as well,” McDonald said. Toward the end of the event, McDonald will then paint all of the dreams, which have been represented in smaller paintings, and create a larger work. “I am going to combine them into one large mosaic art piece that represents the hopes and dreams of Vancouver Islanders,” she said. The mosaic piece that McDonald creates will eventually go on display at the end of the event between 4 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. The piece will then be relocated to 4 Commercial St., where it will remain on display for four weeks. McDonald, who will also be a participating artist and life coach during the event, said she is expecting people’s dreams to vary. “It might be more bucket list items like travelling to a particular location,” McDonald said. The Art of Life Dream takes place from noon to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday. Life coach sessions cost $2 and paintings can be purchasesd for $45. For more information, please visit http://bit.ly/1cNEkBJ.

ARTHRITIS
Pain free in 2 weeks. This is what happened to me personally. I tried drugs, acupuncture, magnets and many other methods. Finally after taking a specially processed shark cartilage I was pain free in 2 weeks. It gave me the idea that I could help thousands of the 5 million men and women suffering daily in Canada with the worst pain on earth to have less pain or no pain at all. Nick A. Jerch, President of Bell Lifestyle. <For 40 years I had injections and drugs and finally Bell Shark Cartilage #1 spared me the endless torture I suffered day and night with 3 bottles costing less than $100. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON. <Cancelled knee replacement. I was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now. Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK. <At first I was skeptical. I gradually noticed an improvement. Then I took another brand. I was surprised having so much pain again. Eventually I realized that I needed to re-order Bell. Found relief #1 NPN 80042283 again. Marie Ciraulo, 72, Oakland, CA. <Many people on our website write: “Can walk again for hours”;”Can climb stairs without hanging on to railing”;”First time in 15 years can sleep at night” Rheumatoid arthritis in joints down 90%, same for my sister. Also guaranteed for sciatica. Hundreds of testimonials all with full names and towns. Shark bones/cartilage was a previously thrown away by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught for their cartilage. Don’t let any activist confuse you.

Sleep apnea? Trouble falling asleep?

Hundreds of true testimonials on the Bell website from people like you. Real people wrote: æI really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the #23 NPN 80027595 morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH. æSleep apnea capsules worked first night. For 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS. æFor 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS. æIt is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine anymore.

“By accessing world markets for Canadian oil, we’ll enjoy increased tax dollars and years of employment.” - Deborah Cahill, President, Electrical Contractors Association of B.C.
Coastal access for Canadian oil means an increase of at least $5 per barrel. By getting full value for our oil, everyone will benefit. Workers will gain from the $5.4 billion project. Oil producers will earn more revenue for their product. And Government will collect more tax revenue from oil producers to spend on programs such as health care, education and other services that benefit all British Columbians. Plus, we can invest in new training programs and create new jobs for our youth.

Question of the Week
plenty available to get this truck up to highway speed. I quite enjoyed the drive and although my day was filled with errands, I still managed to relax as a drove throughout the city, only to have my bubble burst as I ran into never ending construction. Verdict: I found the new F150 to be slight improvement over the previous version with most of the improvements coming from the interior. The new body design is more of a personal preference and I think it will take me a while longer to come around. Give it a year and I’ll let you know if it was a hit or a miss.

Car show uniquely Indian which began in 2008, has generated great excitement amongst Indian collectors. More owners are now taking an interest in maintaining and restoring their cars to the high standards required for such an international event. India has a rich motoring heritage dating back to 1897, when a resident of Calcutta imported the first car into India which was a De Dion-Bouton. The Cartier Concours is a comparatively young event, which focuses on India’s automotive heritage. Read more at www.drivewaybc.ca.
by Nigel Matthews
India’s finest exhibition of vintage automobiles and motorcycles is the Cartier Travel with Style Concours d’Elegance. This year it took place at the historical Jaipur Polo Club in New Delhi, located within the racecourse. Cartier has enjoyed a longstanding relationship with India and in particular the Maharajas dating back to 1911. They would entrust Cartier to design and set their precious stones into magnificent pieces of jewelry. The Cartier Concours,

Sports car holds secrets
Some cars could be collectibles
by Rob Sass
The Z06 Corvette option has typically had a single purpose: To humble wouldbe Corvette competitors foreign and domestic, offering supercar performance and handling at a price point that can’t be achieved by any other manufacturer. Here are a few fun facts about the Corvette Z06: The first Z06 was built in 1963. The second-generation – or C2 – Corvette was the first to offer the Z06 package. Corvette godfather Zora Arkus-Duntov conceived the option package that mated Chevy’s fuel injected 327 V-8 with uprated brakes and suspension (and in most cases a larger, competition-ready fuel tank) to give privateer racers a leg up in competition during a time when GM couldn’t field a factory race
Bringing in this selection of cars from overseas can be a major hassle but as future collectibles, they just might be
worth the paperwork. To read about five cars that never made it to these shores while in production but can

Cracking the curber code… When Walt says, “There’s not a scratch...” The ZO6 is the Corvette of Corvettes. team. Simply called an RPO (regular production order) Z06, it was pricey and consequently selected mostly by owners who intended to take their Corvettes racing. Today 1963 “big tank” Z06s are among the most collectible Corvettes. The option was dormant for 28 years. There was no C3 or C4 Z06, and the name finally returned for 2001 in a very special C5. Offered only in the most rigid and lightest-weight hardtop body style, the 2001 model

came with an LS6 small block rated at 385 hp. It was quickly uprated to 405 hp for the 2002 model year – as if the official ratings mattered. In a fine Corvette tradition going back to the 1967 L88, it was found that Chevy had underrated the horsepower significantly; north of 425 hp was closer to the truth. Since 2001, only model years 2005 and 2014 have been without a Z06. To read more, please visit www.drivewaybc.ca.

Beefs & bouquets BOUQUET To Nanaimo Public Works for its continuous efforts to clean up my neighbourhood at the north end of Jingle Pot Road. The barriers and garbage removal have had an incredible impact.
BOUQUET To Rylan of McGirr Elementary School for once again donating his birthday money to Justin’s Coin Drive. We are so very grateful for your thoughtfulness and generosity.
BEEF To the dad or granddad for his unnecessary, rude comment at the free cake event for Mother’s Day at Thrifty Foods Port Place. Keep your pouting at home.
BEEF To the people who enjoyed a picnic of a melon fruit pack and ginger ale and root beer on Mother’s Day at Neck Point Park. This is 2015 and you still leave your garbage on the beach.
BOUQUET To the kind and caring pilot and staff for getting a wheelchair and calling a taxi to go to St. Paul’s Hospital. We will always be grateful.
BOUQUET To Dufferin Place. They treated me so well for a respite time from my busy family. The people, the garden, the meals, the kindness. BEEF To Mr. Lexus. You backed into our van at Art Knapp. Shame on you for not having the class to leave a note. Our van may not look like much but it is all we can afford on a military pension. BOUQUET We had a great time at the Heritage Days parade. We thought the organizers did an awesome job.
BOUQUET To the organizers of Heritage Days. I felt so proud of our city as so many people came together to lose that horrible ‘empire’ moniker and celebrate our true diversity. I could finally enjoy it with a clear conscience.
BEEF To the clean-up and garden service landscaper who was speeding through a school zone, illegally passing cars in the median who were doing the limit and then swearing and threatening violence when I called to complain. Clean up your act.
BEEF To my neighbours who set off fireworks every weekend and sometimes in the middle of the week. It terrifies our pets, startles the heck out of our family and none of your neighbours understand how you can get an endless thrill out of this.
BEEF To the thieves who are stealing the green bins. The residents of Nanaimo are on to your little scheme. You will get busted.
BOUQUET To Brad and staff at Midas at Brechin Road who went out of their way to get our car battery replaced quickly when an unexpected call for work came.
BOUQUET Thank you to the city for finally doing something about a sidewalk curb that was making it hard to go up with a wheelchair.
BOUQUET To big box stores for hiring young people – they need experience. We all start out not knowing everything. Thanks to the patient customers.
BEEF To the person beefing that people should be made to sit down on the bus if seats are available. I’m in agreement with those standing. Who knows what the last person sitting there left on the seat?
BOUQUET To the coaches of the Nanaimo White Rapids Swim Club. Your enthusiasm is contagious and you create such a fun and positive environment around the pool. BOUQUET To all Nanaimo paramedics – a big huge one to the Critical Care Unit – you all rock. But I am going to start charging you for cutting off my clothes. BOUQUET To all those people who stepped up to help celebrate the long weekend. BOUQUET To the people who helped to rescue me when I tipped my kayak. To my husband, who kept my head above water and rescued my camera; to the people on the power boat who rushed over and flipped me; to my fellow kayakers who rafted with us until we were stable; to the waitress at Miller’s Pub who got me a warm coffee.
________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ Name __________________________________________________________________________
BOUQUET To Thrifty Foods Port Place and the girls running the free cake table for Mother’s Day.
Address ________________________________________________________________________ Phone No ______________________________________________________________________
BEEF To the woman who made not one but two snarky comments to a pub patron who almost bumped into her. Sorry that it put such a damper on your day.
BEEF To those ignorant smokers who keep flicking their butts out the window.
BOUQUET To customers who take the time to write a nice comment card. So often we only hear the negative. Please remember the longtime workers also – a nice comment card makes our day, sometimes our whole year.
________________________________________________________________________________
BEEF To the Vancouver Island Conference Centre. The too over-taxed taxpayers of Nanaimo are fed up with continually paying $900,000 just to keep your leaky boat afloat.
BOUQUET To Frankie’s Modern Diner for honouring moms on Mother’s Day. All moms were treated to a fabulous cheesecake dessert, courtesy of Frankie.
BOUQUET To the wonderful pharmacy staff at Save-On-Foods Country Club for calling 911 and helping at the scene of an accident outside their drive-thru window.

BOUQUET To all my friends and fans who attended my 92nd annual birthday at the MGM Restaurant earlier this month.
BEEF To real estate agents who advertise homes with unauthorized suites. You should not accept listings for illegal properties. You don’t see car dealers listing stolen cars.
BOUQUET To Linda at Country Grocer. She’s always going that extra mile to keep customers satisfied. I needed coffee creamers for my workplace and found my debit card not working. Without hesitation she lent me $20. Always a pleasure to see her at work.
Submit your own Beef or Bouquet
BEEF To the city for the $400,000 overpriced job to dismantle the former CP ferry dock. I guess they have not heard about lumberjacks with chainsaws.
BOUQUET To Reba at HairMates Barber Shop. I needed a haircut and Reba used her skill and attention to detail to give me one of the best haircuts I have had in my years in Nanaimo.
BOUQUET To the terrific bakery staff at Country Grocer Chase River. Thank you for coming to my rescue at short notice when a special bread order was not fulfilled by another store.

In July 1976, Greg MacAleese, a police officer investigating the fatal shooting of Michael Carmen in Albuquerque, New Mexico needed help in solving this senseless murder. He created a crime scene reenactment, put up his own reward money and guaranteed anonymity. This started the program we know today – Crime Stoppers. For his efforts, Detective MacAleese was named one of the people who changed the face of the United States in the 1970’s and was also named the country’s Police Officer of the year. Since adopting Crime Stoppers, New Mexico’s crime rate has dropped significantly. In 1979, Crime Stoppers became a national program. In 1984, the world-wide anti-crime movement “Crime Stoppers International” was created and today there are over 1000 programs in 21 countries. 1982 - Calgary started the first Canadian program 1990 - Nanaimo and District Crime Stoppers began

Timbermen name a new team captain
V.I. Raiders get strong start at camp I JR. FOOTBALL team building for season.
The Nanaimo Timbermen announced their new leader. T h e c i t y ’s We s t e r n Lacrosse Association club named Cayle Ratcliff as the new team captain. Kaleb Toth, Timbermen coach, said Ratcliff is “a great leader.” “Since he’s been here, he’s done whatever we’ve asked of him, whatever role we want him to play, he’s been playing it hard. He leads by example. He’s one of those players that knows what it takes to win, wants to win and demands the best from his teammates.” Former captain Graham Palmer retired this off-season. Ratcliff is entering his seventh WLA season, all with the T-men, and the season opener Friday (May 22) in Victoria will be his 100th career game. The T-men are looking forward to starting the season against their Island rivals, Toth said. “Just playing the Shamrocks should motivate you enough – guys should be prepared to play,” said the coach. He said this year’s Timbermen are “a better team than we have [had] in the past,” with a well-rounded lineup. “If we can work hard and do the little things and do what our systems entail … we should be able to make a really interesting game out of it,” Toth said. GAME ON … The T-men play their home opener against the Shamrocks on Sunday (May 24) at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena.

The V.I. Raiders got their first chance this year to work together as a team. Nanaimo’s junior football team held its spring camp Friday through Sunday at Merle Logan Field, putting 85 players through four practices and an intrasquad game. It was the first Raiders camp led by new coach Jerome Erdman. “The attitude has been awesome, everyone is working hard, everyone is really upbeat, helping each other out,” Erdman said. “It’s a real sense of family and at the same time, a great competition, so I’m loving what I’m seeing.” Those are important components of the team-building aspect of spring camp, the coach said. “Our vets have done an outstanding job of welcoming the new players, making them feel part of a family,” he said. “And they learn to respect each other through competition. They’re going at it, hammer and nail, and then they pick each other up and that’s how it’s got to be.” In addition to the Raiders coaches, the club had plenty of help from guest coaches including retired B.C.

BALL CLUB plays at home on Sunday.
The Nanaimo Pirates came up with a big win over the Langley Blaze. The Hub City Paving Pirates split a doubleheader against their rivals on Sunday at Serauxmen Stadium, losing the early game 3-2 in extra innings and then winning the rematch 12-7. “Overall we played not our best today…” said Josh CarlessJones, Pirates outfielder. “Our sticks were really working today but we just didn’t seem to close it out today and that’s something we need to work on.” Pirates manager Doug Rogers said his team didn’t show enough killer instinct versus the Blaze. “The guys haven’t been in this situation before – not being the underdog, being the better team than most teams that come in here,” Rogers said.

Nanaimo Pirates catcher Chris Vlaj receives a throw too late to tag out a Langley Blaze baserunner on Sunday at Serauxmen Stadium.
“They’ve got to get used to that. They’ve got to have that swagger.” In the win, CarlessJones led the way, going 3-for-4 at the plate with three RBIs and hitting a home run over the green monster in right field. Cole Warken was 2-for-3 with two RBIs

Bastion among best on race series Congratulations this week to all Bastion Running Club members who competed in this year’s Frontrunners Island Race Series. The eight road races in the series are of varying distances and are held at different locations on the Island. Some weeks ago we covered results from the first four races, so let’s now check Bastion results from the second half… The fifth race of the Island Series was the Bazan Bay 5K in Sidney, where about a dozen local runners were part of the field of 618 participants. Fastest of the Bastion crew was Erin Burrett, whose time of 16 minutes and 47 seconds rated her second in the F30-34 division. Then came Neil Gaudet in 63rd place overall with a finish in 18:16. Yanna Debelic reached in the finish line in 19:57, Jane Campbell in 20:07, Kevin Stedmon in 21:53 and Zlatko Zve-

The final race in this year’s Island Series was the Sooke River 10K, with a field of 303 runners. A small contingent of Bastion athletes took part, led to the finish line by Gaudet who was 29th overall with a time of 40:55. Debelic finished in 41:49 to place first in the F45-49 group. Stedmon posted a time of 48:09 and Zvekic finished in 48:47. Other Bastion results saw Durkin cross the finish line in 49:31. Hollingshead finished in 50:10 to place first in the M70-74 division and Bonin finished with a time of 53:05. Based on points accumulated from all races in the series, Debelic was the top female Bastion runner and Gaudet the top male. In team points, the Bastion Club did well to finish fourth. Whatever your sport, a reminder in closing to play your hardest, play fair, and show good sportsmanship.
