Nurse remembers patients’ strength
I
TOOLKIT HELPS identify signs of human trafficking.
BY TAMARA CUNNINGHAM THE NEWS BULLETIN
Intricate black Sanskrit runs down Aimee Falkenberg’s left forearm, a tattoo tribute for 210 sexually assaulted, abused or trafficked men, women and children and all those who will come after. A forensic nurse in Nanaimo and Surrey, Falkenberg has examined dozens of people experiencing the worst days of their lives, such as 15-yearold girls who wake at a party, pants gone, with no memory of the last five hours. Sex trade workers who weren’t listened to when they said no and men who were assaulted but faced the stigma of no one believing them. With a read of her medical legal report, she can remember every single one. Maybe not the colour of their hair or earrings or even the clothing they were wearing, but she remembers their souls. Their stories are heart wrenching and yet those people would stand in front of her, give her a hug and walk out. “Sometimes I’d drive home crying and try to figure out, like where does this strength come from?” she said, looking down at the inked answer on her arm: strength comes from an indomitable will.
CHRIS BUSH/THE NEWS BULLETIN
Aimee Falkenberg, a forensic nurse at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital, has tattoos in Sanskrit that read “strength” and “Strength comes from an indomitable will.”
“They just have the strength within them that they have no idea they had.” It’s just minutes after noon on Monday. Falkenberg has finished her shift at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital’s emergency department and takes a seat on a shaded concrete step nearby, her crisp white lab coat resting on a purse beside her. Nanaimo
is where some patients will arrive to have a forensic nurse assure them their body is OK. That they aren’t pregnant, or have a sexually transmitted infection and where they’ll have the choice between having forensic evidence collected and stored at the hospital so they can file police report later, or give one immediately. They are of all ages and genders and have

stories of violence that span elder abuse to sexual assault and intimate partner violence. Falkenberg, one of nine forensic nurses in Nanaimo, is trained to be their documenter and a link between medical care and the judicial system, taking meticulous notes, measurements, swabs and catalogue of bruises, abrasions and lesions. It’s a long process, taking up to six hours, but she’s honoured to sit there and listen to her patients’ stories, she said – and always she tells them how proud she is they are doing the examination. Falkenberg got her start as a forensic nurse at Surrey Memorial Hospital in 2008, but began working as a casual in Nanaimo two years ago when her family moved to the Island. The program in this city is more than a decade old and sees just over 100 patients annually. NRGH alone saw 60 in the last fiscal year, an increase from the year previous, according to Carrie Homuth, regional manager of trauma services. Island Health is considering using a new toolkit, the first of its kind in Canada and co-created by Falkenberg, to help health providers recognize trafficked patients. She developed it with two colleagues during her time at Surrey Memorial, recognizing many patients were showing red flags of human trafficking. She sees those same flags in Nanaimo, mostly with teens 14 to 19 years old. See ‘NURSE’ /6
Crews contain wildfire west of Mount Benson BY MELISSA FRYER THE NEWS BULLETIN
A wildfire burning west of Nanaimo was 70 per cent contained as of Monday morning, according to the Coastal Fire Centre. Firefighting crews responded to the Boomerang Lake fire shortly after it broke out Saturday. On Monday, 41 crew members and two helicopters were assigned to the blaze, burning about two ridges west of Mount Benson, said Donna MacPherson, fire information officer. No homes or structures are threatened by the fire. The cause of the fire, which is estimated to be about 6.5 hectares in size, is still under investigation, but is expected to be found to be human-caused as no lightning was recorded in the area, said MacPherson. “It’s incredibly dry,” MacPherson said. “We’re several weeks ahead of where we normally are for this time of year.” The fire danger rating for the area is high to extreme. “Cedar south seems TO REPORT a wildfire, to be a dry spot,” please call 1-800MacPherson said. 663-5555 or *5555 People using the on most cellular backcountry should networks. exercise extreme caution and limit activity which might spark a wildfire, such as smoking and using ATVs, vehicles or equipment in grassy or dry areas. Cigarettes should be extinguished in water, such as a water bottle. A campfire ban is being considered for the coastal fire area and a decision would be made late Monday whether to implement one, MacPherson said. Campfires must be kept to a half-metre by half-metre in size and must be fully extinguished, which means cold to the touch, before leaving the campsite. “That doesn’t mean a party fire or a bonfire,” MacPherson said. For updates on the fire and possible campfire bans, please check www.bcwildfire.ca. To report a wildfire, call 1-800-663-5555 or *5555 on most cellular networks.

Problematic and at times “dysfunctional decision making” caused the delays that put the City of Nanaimo in the position of having to urgently comply with a tight deadline, charges the B.C. Comptroller of Water Rights. The comptroller and its legal counsel pulled no punches with civic politicians or the City of Nanaimo in an argument to the Environmental Appeal Board against the city’s request for a stay of an order to fix the Colliery dams. It says councillors are confusing political accountability to constituents with their fiduciary duty to the corporation of the City of Nanaimo to ensure it complies with the law and that the city’s grounds for an appeal is “so baseless and unsubstantiated as to be frivolous.” The countermove comes on the heels of the city’s plea to the environmental board to put the province’s remediation order and deadline on the lower dam on hold until its case for an appeal is
heard. The city’s own legal argument says the provincial order’s short timelines and narrow choices for remediation is unreasonable and could see significant resources spent by the municipality that might not be necessary. It wants time to consider options. Mayor Bill McKay isn’t convinced the city will win this fight. “Evidence is against us. Fact is, I just don’t believe that our arguments are strong enough,” he said, adding he’s scheduling a meeting for Wednesday to review the entire stay, appeal and next steps for the Colliery dams. “We’ve been told, even by the comptroller of water rights, don’t give up your appeal, carry on, but we need to prepare for the potential that we could lose.” The Environmental Appeal Board is anticipated to make a decision on the stay in early July. Win and everything is held in abeyance until an appeal is heard. Lose and Toby Seward, the city’s acting general manager of community development and protective services, believes the city will continue to face a November deadline to finish the Colliery dam work. “Our basic decision is we need to be in the ground by Sept. 1 at the latest to actually be able to do the work,” Seward said. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Opponents block Wildwood move
I
laNd truSt must find way to clear $8-million debt. By Karl yu The News BulleTiN
Members of The Land Conservancy blocked a move that some say could have paved the way for the sale of Wildwood Ecoforest in Cedar to private interests. The conservancy, a nonprofit land trust, is dealing with an $8-million debt and is attempting to fulfill legal requirements to creditors through a B.C. Supreme Courtapproved plan. It held an extraordinary general meeting on June 12, where a special resolution for bylaw amendments was voted down. The resolution would have advanced the plan, but according to the Ecoforestry Institute Society, Wildwood managers, it included language that could have taken away Wildwood’s right to be held in the public domain.
According to Kathy Code, society spokeswoman and conservancy member, it isn’t the intention to hamper the conservancy’s ability to pay back creditors. Code said the society wants to secure Wildwood’s future as being in the public domain, which was the wish of the late Merv Wilkinson, former owner and sustainable logging pioneer. “We had tried to work with TLC on various occasions, through [various strategies] and they were refused, basically to commit to ensuring that Wildwood remains in a trust, in the hands of a charitable purpose society and a non-profit organization.” The court-approved plan involves transferring of properties and debt forgiveness, according to John Shields, conservancy director of operations, and monies are essential to paying back secured creditors. The bylaw has to be amended or the plan will fail, he said. Shields said Wildwood will remain unaffected for the time being. “We are keeping Wildwood

out of any next steps until it’s much clearer what we can do with it, that meets the majority of our members’ interests and we have to get to resolve this issue of the transfers,” said Shields. Shields said the conservancy must weigh its options. “We have to talk to our lawyers about which is the most effective thing, whether to go back to court or have another meeting. Both are extremely expensive to TLC and we want to do just one thing and get it right,” said Shields. Code said another meeting has been called for July 18.

SSS Manhao refused to meet with city officials in the lead-up to a political decision on timeline extension for the hotel, according to Mayor Bill McKay. “They are being a lot colder towards us right now and I can’t say that I blame them,” he said. City representatives, including the mayor and city manager, were prepared to meet with the conference centre hotel developers but the offer was refused, according to the mayor. He believes they took great offence at last week’s council meeting, when council nixed a bid for a one-year extension on the hotel project and decided to consider giving SSS Manhao six more months to apply for a building permit. Proponents were waiting to hear what happened at a council meeting Monday, when a vote was expected on the six-month extension.

Inbrief Director seeks support city scene
Ferry service resumes Ferry service to Newcastle Island will be provided by Protection Island Ferries on a temporary basis. Snuneymuxw First Nation, which operates the provincial marine park, posted a notice on its website Sunday advising of a change in schedule. The ferry leaves Newcastle dock every hour, beginning at 9 a.m., arriving at Maffeo Sutton dock at about half past the hour. The last ferry off Newcastle is 7 p.m., but will vary depending on overflows from the island. No service is scheduled between Protection Island and Newcastle Island. Cost is $5 each way for passengers aged 7-64 years old. The ferry is free for children under six and seniors over 65, with no charges for bikes or pets. Service previously provided by Nanaimo Harbour Ferry ended Friday at the last scheduled sailing. On its website, the ferry company stated it was unable to come to an agreement with Snuneymuxw First Nation on ferry service to Newcastle Island. Newcastle Island is located in Nanaimo Harbour.

the local tax base.” Houle said Gabriola residents would have to give approval via a referendum, which he anticipates will take place in November. In the two years since the community bus service began in June 2013, it has carried 24,500 passengers. Houle said the service has been beneficial, with more runs added in the summer to accommodate visitors. Fay Weller, community bus spokesperson, is in favour of raising taxes to pay for the bus. She also said the service is beneficial. “Now the kids just can rely on [the bus] and then they can go to activities after school and not have to come back on the school bus, so it makes a difference to a lot of them. It’s making a difference to a lot of the businesses because people are able to come in and go into the village using [the bus]. “I think [discontinuation] would be really detrimental because it provides people with an opportunity to not have to always be in their car,” said Weller. The regional district board is expected to consider the motion at its regular meeting tonight.

The wheels are in motion for continued transit service on Gabriola Island. Money for Gabriola’s Environmentally Responsible TransIsland Express, a community bus pilot project paid for through the federal gas tax, is set to expire June 2016 and options are being sought on how to continue the service. Howard Houle, Regional District of Nanaimo Area B director, proposed a motion at the regional district’s June committee of the whole meeting, seeking a report that would include information on funding. B.C. Transit isn’t currently an option, according to Houle. “I have checked with B.C. Transit and there are no service hours available,” he said. “Now, what service hours mean is that you get a buy-in from transit, so they pay part of the bill. We’re not able to get those hours, so the only way to continue to build the service, until there are hours available, is to fund it through

Nurse creates kit to help identify potential human trafficking From /1
They may not directly come out and say they are trafficked, she said, but could say they are having sex with up to 25 men a day or being moved from Victoria to Nanaimo, Nanaimo to Vancouver. Often health care is the trafficked person’s first point of contact to ask
for help, said Falkenberg, who sees the kit as a way to prepare others to notice those red flags and create awareness of those who might be too scared to tell their story. When Falkenberg walks into the room, patients could be crying or not making eye contact. It’s what they come bur-
dened with. A 15-year-old girl who has had a drug-facilitated sexual assault could arrive at the emergency department with her mom and dad, makeup streaked across her faced after coming home from a party. She’d been drinking with friends at 11 p.m., and woke up at
5 a.m., pants off, with no memory of those hours in between. There’s guilt and shame for drinking under age. She’s vomiting from the effects of the alcohol and what could have potentially gone into her drink. She is overwhelmed, worried her mom and dad are angry and embarrassed
her brothers or sisters will find out. “So when I say how proud I am of them when I do these examinations of them, look at what they come with.” Examination done, Falkenberg always walks her patients out the door. She won’t hold their hands, but she’ll walk
beside them. It’s a feeling of support and when she goes back to her office, finishes up her documentation, folds up her papers and puts them in an envelope, there’s a belief that she saw a certain look on her patient’s face: hope and a little bit of strength. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Hazmat response team key for city
I
CoMMuNITY RElIES on industry to help clean up spills.
By TamaRa Cunningham The News BulleTiN
Hazardous materials are among Nanaimo’s greatest threats, but this city has no local response team to come to its aid. It’s why Nanaimo’s emergency program manager Karen Lindsay hopes the province will put a preparedness and response organization on Vancouver Island when it rolls out a new land-based spill regime in 2017. Last week, the B.C. government announced plans for the new regime, including a preparedness and response organization to ensure trained people are ready to immediately respond to any spill with appropriate equipment. It will also look into hazmat response times, which don’t
currently exist in B.C. Nanaimo isn’t unprepared for a hazardous material spill. It has a consortium of first responders and private industry that discuss training and education for a greater awareness of what’s passing through Nanaimo and how to respond. But there is no speciallytrained hazmat team, which means the city is “handicapped” with spills where time is a factor, according to Lindsay. Firefighters are only trained to take defensive action against a spill, from identifying products to evacuation. Hazmat technicians are needed to enter toxic areas with specialized equipment to turn off valves and stop leaks. The city relies on industry, responsible for its own spills, to send a team or turn to the province for help. Lindsay isn’t aware of any other hazmat team on the Island, although the B.C. Ministry of Environment says the
Capital Regional District does have a team that can be used outside of their district with CRD approval. “When you are having to wait for teams to come in, it takes that much longer to solve the problem and the impact to the community becomes greater,” said Lindsay. The City of Nanaimo could build a hazmat team by adding another level of training for firefighters, but Lindsay and fire chief Craig Richardson agree it’s expensive. A regional approach is a more likely scenario, Lindsay said. Major cities, like Vancouver, do have hazmat response. Jonathon Gormick, public information officer for Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services, said it’s a cost-benefit analysis. Vancouver is a large municipality with dangerous goods going through it. Vancouver also has a postsecondary institution with labs and two hospitals where there’s an inherent risk. news@nanaimobulletin.com

CANADIAN COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER AWARD 2015
EDITORIAL
Grads deserve congratulations How does that old rhyme go? No more pencils, no more books, no more teachers’ dirty looks? At the end of the 2014-15 school year, we’d like to congratulate all of Nanaimo’s graduating high school students. It’s worth celebrating that hundreds of educated, intelligent and capable young people from our community are marking a rite of passage into the rest of their lives. A lot of people will tell these grads that their diploma and cap and gown mark a beginning, not an end, and there’s truth to that. But that shouldn’t diminish this achievement. High school graduation is no small victory and it’s important that we recognize and appreciate these kinds of victories, because they don’t happen every day. In many ways, high school is the hardest thing we ever do, and we’re not just talking about scraping through Physics 12. We’re talking about scraping through Physics 12, while at the same time trying to eat lunch with the cool kids, wear the right style of jeans and get a date for prom. It’s a balancing act and it’s tricky, but we think high school is supposed to be hard. Students wonder when they’ll ever need to apply trigonometry lessons to real life. Well, it’s not so much about solving the equations as it is the problems and the challenges. We hope that Nanaimo’s grads will go forward actively challenging themselves and their potential, because often the hardest things to do are the things that are most worth doing. Our grads have found their way this far, through school closures, piles of raggedy textbooks and outdated computer labs. Forget what the Fraser Institute rankings might say, because we know better. Nanaimo’s schools have turned out a graduating class of smart kids, cool kids and talented kids. And they’re becoming young adults and it’s a bright future for them and for all of us. Congratulations, grads, on this achievement. You did it. And we look forward to seeing what you can do next.

planning can help avoid conflicts that arise with so many interests competing for marine resources. B.C.’s coastal communities depend on healthy oceans for their cultural, social and economic needs and are searching for solutions. Oceans produce half the oxygen we breathe and absorb a third of carbon dioxide emissions. If that weren’t reason enough to protect them, there’s also a strong business case. According to a WWF report, oceans provide an annual economic value of at least $24 trillion. In Canada’s Great Bear Sea, ecosystem services are estimated to provide $101 billion in annual benefits to local communities. Tourists pay to experience a clean, healthy ocean with an abundance of life, and marine recreation is projected to be among the fastest-growing sectors in B.C.’s economy for the next 20 years. Marine wildlife and resources are rapidly declining around the world, and our oceans are changing faster than ever, endangering this economic engine and the security and livelihoods it supports. But our oceans are bigger and longer-lasting than any economic system. Let’s honour our coastal waters and all the creatures that depend on them – including ourselves.

Re: Reconciliation begins with us, Ediorial, June 9. I heard Wab Kinew, a CBC First Nations broadcaster, speak in Nanaimo last year and ask, “How can there be reconciliation without understanding?” Understanding this people and culture that lived thousands of years and is ignored. One thing to do is attend any and all cultural events put on by our First Nations. Another thing to do is read and research, educate yourself on this culture, moreover out of respect, learn some of the language. Everyone knows “Aloha,” why not the local indigenous language?
Ken Brault Nanaimo
To the Editor,
The First Nations people are the authentic Canadians. North America was the land and home of aboriginal peoples. The first Caucasians to land on what now is Canada invaded and conquered,
motivated by greed for the wealth of the land. Ensuing governments implemented all the aspects of genocide to accomplish this and it continues in a more subtle form to the present day. Perhaps there are those of us who were unaware and not actively involved, but the truth has now surfaced as truth always will. We, as fellow Canadians, now have the responsibility of both soul and conscience to rectify the Third World conditions Canada’s First Nations are living under and also the biased treatment they receive. We have much to learn from the First Peoples as how to be good stewards of Mother Earth for spiritual fulfillment and life preservation. I have listened to many of the Native Americans talk and never has anything hateful been expressed toward fellow Canadians. They seek only justice and equality which are Godgiven rights.

Re: B.C. government goes long with LNG bid, Opinion, May 28. Premier Christy Clark’s mindset still must be living in her LNG Fantasy Island, while the very devoted subjects toil away. LNG is only a conception, backed up with a lot of obvious political smack talk trying to hoodwink the nowtoo-overburdened taxpayers who continue to struggle, a lot more so with this very hard-hitting economic recession that’s not going away anytime soon. Not even a backroom bookie would take bets on the birth of LNG, but will take bets on the last days of Premier Christy Clark.

board’s re-opening of Cedar Secondary clearly has some disastrous negative effects on the district’s existing secondary schools and the district as a whole.

The City of Nanaimo is bringing the music back this summer. Beginning on July 8, the city will be holding the first Summer Concerts in the Park performance of the season. Deborah Beck, recreation coordinator for the City of Nanaimo, says the series are a great outing for the whole family. “It is a fun family thing to do in the summer evenings,” Beck said. “It provides an opportunity for the community to come together ... and it is free.” During the month of July, concerts will take place on Wednesday evenings at the Bowen Park Amphitheatre beginning at 6 p.m. The concerts will then move to Maffeo Sutton Park starting on Aug. 6 and will be held on Wednesday evenings at 6 p.m. The performers this year include the Michael Wood Band, a Victoria-based band that has played at Canadian Music Week and is expected to release a new album sometime this year. Other performers this year include the Clanns and the Nanaimo Chamber Orchestra.
7 p.m. Tickets $20 and include ferry ride. Tickets go on sale on June 19. Visit www. ticketzone.com.

When it comes to selecting artists for the series, Beck says she aims for balance. “I try and get someone from different genres so we have a good mix of music to choose from,” she said. “I also look at the type of people that come out to listen to the music at our parks.” The City of Nanaimo has also brought back the Summer Concerts in the Park Lunchtime Series, which will run on Mondays at 12:30 p.m., starting on July 13. The Concerts in the Park series began over a decade ago in Bowen Park. “It actually started as a seniors concert back in the

Scott, Neil April 10th, 1931 – June 15th, 2015
It is with great sadness, that our family must announce the sudden passing of our loving husband, dad and poppa Neil after a brief illness. Neil was predeceased by his two brothers Lloyd and Ab. He is lovingly remembered by his wife and best friend of 60 years, Bernice, his son David (Johanna), daughter Karen (Richard) and his four beloved grandchildren, Jacob, Hanna, Amy and Kylee. Neil was born in Calgary, Alberta, and moved to BC with his family at age five. The family soon moved to Wall Beach, Nanoose Bay, where Neil’s dad ran an Auto Court. Neil spent his early years as a logger, and then moved on to work at BC Telephone Company for 35 years. Even before his retirement from BC Tel, Neil was moving on to bigger and more exciting projects! Neil and his partners formed Arbutus Park Estates, which subdivided and developed Madrona Point, where Neil and Bernice eventually built their home and have resided for the past 36 years. After Madrona Point was complete, Neil had an even more elaborate vision for his next project, and decided Nanoose Bay wouldn’t be complete without an 18 hole championship golf course. Fairwinds was born and Neil and his partners set off building their dream of a golf course and surrounding subdivision. This project eventually included Schooner Cove Marina and Hotel. Neil was also involved in the early development of Dolphin Beach Estates, he and Bernice built a cabin where the family spent every summer when the kids were young. Neil loved being on the water and was an avid fisherman. In his later years Neil, Bernice and the family spent many summer days cruising the waters aboard his Tollycraft “Thunderbirdâ€?. Neil and Bernice loved to travel, and had the opportunity to visit many different destinations with family and friends. Neil was always busy either in his garden, woodworking in his garage, golfing, taking pictures, or just having a drink with friends. Neil achieved so much in his lifetime, but to him there were still so many things left to do. Rest in Peace Dad (Poppa), life won’t be the same without you‌‌ A celebration of life for Neil will be held Friday, June 26th, 2015, at 2:00 pm at Fairwinds Clubhouse, 3730 Fairwinds Drive, Nanoose Bay, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations in Neil’s memory may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC, or the Canadian Cancer Society. First Memorial Funeral Services 250-754-8333

John was born and raised in Nanaimo, the youngest of four boys (Wallis, Hubert, and George). He served in the Lake Superior Army, Company “A.� during WWII from 1942-1945. He was deployed to England and then France to fight through Holland, Belgium and Germany. Upon returning to Nanaimo he married Dolly (McKenzie) in 1953 and moved to Victoria where he worked as a postman until his retirement in 1980. John and Dolly enjoyed travelling during their retirement making frequent trips to Reno and Hawaii. When Dolly passed away in 2006, John returned to Nanaimo to be closer to his family. He lived independently and enjoyed being amongst the wonderful people at Longwood (Stonecroft) Condominums and volunteering at the Nanaimo Military Museum until his sudden passing just 8 months shy of his 100th birthday. John was a gentle and kindhearted man who enjoyed spending time with his family, having fun and laughing during special occasions, cheering on his favourite sport teams including the Nanaimo Clippers, the Chicago Cubs and the Detroit Red Wings as well as the Vancouver Canucks. John will be greatly missed by many friends that he made over his long life, especially Jim and Isabel Holmes, his niece Donna (Waide) Stennes, great-niece Kayla (Nathan) Robinson, great-great-niece, Lily, great nephew Scott Stennes, nephew Murray (Kim) Anderson, sister-in-law, Kay Sharpe, brother-in-law Rod McKenzie, and many nieces and nephews from the extended McKenzie and Fogden families. A Celebration of Life will be held in his honour on Saturday, June 27, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. at the Longwood Condominiums Clubhouse in Nanaimo.

For generations people from around the world have come to our community to visit, live, learn, work and do business — welcomed first by the Snuneymuxw peoples and joined, more recently, by those who now call the Nanaimo region home. This openness and respect for our fellow global citizens is today a hallmark of our community and of our shared prosperity in the future. As leaders we celebrate the diversity of our community and stand together in solidarity to reaffirm our commitment to remain a community that welcomes everyone. Furthermore, we are united in our belief that expressions of intolerance, racism and hate do not belong in our community, and must be challenged by our own expressions of openness, mutual respect and, above all, by how we care for and support one another. We encourage all citizens, businesses and organizations in our community to join us in demonstrating their support of these values by adding their names to our online statement — viu.ca/supportcommunity

Hall of famer becomes Canadian legend Turn-of-the-century soccer star gone, but not forgotten
BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN
BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN
H
arry Manson was one of the great soccer players of his era in British Columbia. But he’s not in the hall of fame just because he was a goal scorer. Manson is in the hall of fame because when it came to being a teammate, he was a pioneer. Manson was inducted last week into the legends category of the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame. It followed his induction into the Nanaimo Sports Hall of Fame earlier this month, and the Canadian Soccer Hall of Fame last fall. Manson, also known by his traditional name, Xul-si-malt, was a champion soccer player at the turn of the 20th century. His exploits with his Snuneymuxw team earned him an invite to the Nanaimo Thistles and other top-tier sides of the era. “Harry didn’t care if he was playing with white men or his fellow Snuneymuxw players,” said Robert Janning, soccer historian, at the Nanaimo hall of fame ceremony earlier this month. “Aside from the honours he won as a player, I think Harry Manson, Xul-si-malt, set an example for all of us to follow.” Manson and James Wilks, recruited to the Thistles in 1898, were the first aboriginal players to compete at B.C. provincials, according to Janning’s book West-

coast Reign: The British Columbia Soccer Championships 1892-1905. Manson and Louis Martin were the first indigenous players to win the B.C. championship when the Thistles defeated the Victoria Columbias in 1901. In Manson’s time, Vancouver Island was B.C.’s soccer hotbed – Nanaimo and Wellington won three provincial championships apiece in the 1890s. It was a time of steamships, coal mining and racism. “Try to imagine what if must have been like growing up in that era and putting up with that discrimination,” Janning said. “Going to Ladysmith for a match with 2,000 miners on the sidelines screaming, ‘Kill the savages.’” Manson’s grandson, Gary Manson, said when he thinks about
his grandfather, he thinks about “the history that we have, and it wasn’t a very good one… “My late grandfather … he carried himself in such an honourable way in his times, when there was racism in the country. He put all those things aside.” For Harry Manson, it was all about the next match, Janning said. Manson just wanted to play, that’s all – but his status as a First Nations man combined with his stature as a soccer all-star made him a pioneer. It’s why his death, when he was struck by a train in 1912, made the front page of Nanaimo’s newspapers, and it’s why, 100 years later, he’s a legend. Manson’s hall-of-fame exploits are a source of pride for his descendants.
PhoTo SuBmITTEd
Harr y Manson is now enshrined in three separate sports halls of fame.
“I’m almost speechless – I’ve spent the whole day bragging about the accomplishments of my grandfather,” joked Gary Manson, adding that past generations might have potlatched for
days over these sorts of remembrances. Snuneymuxw Chief John Wesley said Manson’s hall of fame induction is meaningful today. “I thank everybody for bringing down barriers,” he said. “That’s what it’s all about.” Janning said it’s beautiful that Harry Manson’s story brings together First Nations and non-First Nations, and not just with lip service, but with actual dialogue and healing. “No country, no province, no city is perfect, just like people; we all make mistakes,” the historian said. “But in our society we strive to learn from our mistakes to make our world better. So it is my sincere hope that Harry Manson will stand for a brighter future.” sports@nanaimobulletin.com
The Nanaimo Pirates had another winning weekend as they continue their surge in the standings. The Hub City Paving Pirates won three out of four games on the mainland, beating the North Shore Twins 6-5 and losing the rematch 4-3 on Saturday, then sweeping the North Delta Blue Jays 8-1 and 8-4 on Sunday. The biggest game of the weekend was the first one, as it not only came against the league-leading Twins, but against their majorleague-drafted pitcher Will McAffer. “That was a real solid win for us and it tested us to see where we stood up against the first-place team and we stack up very well,” said Doug Rogers, Pirates manager. Robert Busch was the winning pitcher, giving up two runs over six innings while striking out six. Shawn Arabsky and Shane Rogers had two RBIs apiece. In the loss, Zach Diewert went 2-for-3, Rogers had a single and a double and Chris Vlaj had two RBIs. Garrett Goodall struck out nine in a completegame win Sunday and Will Drewry led the offence with three RBIs. The weekend finale saw Kevin Sengara hit a home run, while Cole Warken went 3-for-5 with three runs scored. Arabsky was 2-for-4 with a pair of RBIs and North Rainey was the winning pitcher. GAME ON … Nanaimo’s next game is July 1, when it hosts a doubleheader against the Victoria Mariners at Serauxmen Stadium. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Lacrosse team fires 105 shots

SR. B SQUAD defeats North Shore 17-7.
11th ANNUAL Nanaimo
BY GREG SAKAKI THe NeWS BuLLeTIN
Sunday’s lacrosse game turned into a shooting gallery. The senior B Nanaimo Timbermen fired a remarkable 105 shots on goal in a 17-7 victory over the North Shore Indians at the Nanaimo Ice Centre. The feat added some interest to a mismatch of a game, as the T-men are tied for first place in the West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association while the Indians are in last. Nanaimo coach Mike Maughan said his team was aware that the shots were adding up. “But you don’t want to go after just shots on goal, you want to still keep playing the way you want to play, and if the shots come, they come,” he said. “You kind of prefer they go in instead of getting a multitude of shots.” Travis Mickelson, T-men forward, said the team noticed it was up around 35 shots after the first period and realized it might be able to hit 100. “Definitely the most that I’ve ever been a part of,” he said. “I’ve

The T-men defeated the Langley Thunder 17-12 in lacrosse action Saturday at Frank Crane Arena, but then fell 14-8 on the road the next day against the Burnaby Lakers. In Saturday’s win, Brett Hawrys and Connor Leies had four goals and four assists each, Dane Sorensen had two goals and four helpers and Jerryd Jensen made 55 saves. The T-men visit the Delta Islanders on Wednesday (June 24).

never seen anything like that.” The Indians had a short-manned roster, so they got tired and by the third period they weren’t winning any races to loose balls. The T-men picked up virtually every rebound and set up for another shot on goal. “There’s no way we should have that many shots on us…” said Nathan (Chief) Wilson, North Shore’s veteran goalie. “Even when you get 50, 60 shots, that’s starting to be a lot of shots in one game. This is the most I think I’ve ever had in my career.” He said the Indians gave up too many breakaways, pick and rolls and clear shots from the top of the crease.
There’s no way we should have that many shots on us. “I was pretty lucky to get quite a few of those,” Wilson said. “But they’re a good team and if we try that again and get in that scenario, they might have scored 30 goals on me.” Nanaimo’s coach s a i d h e ’s s e e n upwards of 80 shots on goal in a game, but said to actually hit 100 was “pretty ridiculous.”
“Hat’s off to Chief…” Maughan said. “To see him battling with a short roster in front of him, he knew he was in for a workout today and he got more than he bargained for, I think.” Steve Higgs led the T-men with four goals and Josh Fagan, Mickelson and Cody Boon had two each. Other Nanaimo scorers were Devon Casey, Drew Miles, Ryan Forslund, Jonny Gill, Jon Diplock, Ryan Hanna and Shawn Swanson. Nick Patterson made 24 saves for the win. GAME ON … The Timbermen are off on the road this coming weekend, visiting the Valley Rebels on Friday (June 26) and the Royal City Capitals on Saturday.
