The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association is in the process of conducting a review that could lead to wage increases for school administrators in Nanaimo. The B.C. government froze management compensation in September 2012 and the association, which acts as the bargaining agent for B.C.’s public school boards, plans on conducting the Sectoral Exempt Staff Compensation Review Project examining wages and benefits for principals, vice-principals and management staff. According to information provided by the association, the government recently announced interim relief as it moves to transition out of the compensation freeze, so it was timely for the association to help boards in a market review. A substantive review

hasn’t taken place since 2009. The review will be completed in conjunction with school districts and will look at all elements of compensation packages: annual salaries, health and welfare benefits, vacation and other paid time off. The process will take several months and is estimated to be completed early in 2016, according to the association. Graham Roberts, Nanaimo school district secretary-treasurer, said it isn’t a general wage increase and will be done by individual job. “It may be some districts that don’t get anything, there may be some districts that get small amounts, there may be some that get [increases]. What our financial impact is, we will not know for a while yet,” said Roberts. He said elementary principals in the district earn between $97,000 to $104,000, depending on school size,

while vice-principals earn about $90,000. Secondary school principals earn between $112,000 to $123,000, while vice-principals earn $100,000. Steve Rae, Nanaimo school board chairman, said whether administrators will get a raise has not yet been determined. “They need to be treated fairly and whether or not that is a raise, it’s not for me to say yet. It’s way too early in the game to say that, but if in fact, somebody hasn’t had a raise since 2010, I think they deserve to be brought up to current levels.” The findings will be part of a submission to the provincial government, after Nanaimo and other boards of education have reviewed and approved it. Western Compensation and Benefits Consultants will assist the association with the review.

FACILITATOR ENTERS second phase to build relationships with city councillors.

Relations on council are still a work in progress, says Mayor Bill McKay, as politicians enter a new phase with a facilitator that’s expected to cost thousands more. Nanaimo city council has spent $50,000 on the first phase of work with a facilitator from The Integrity Group, hired by McKay to help politicians get along. Council is about to continue with a second phase, which the mayor says could cost another $25,000 to $50,000 more. So far there have been no improvements, according to McKay, who said it’s a work in progress but there’s a willingness to continue. “Our council, they want to be productive. They want to get things done. Having somebody help you determine what tools you can use to interact, to communicate, to achieve some of the goals you are trying to achieve on a common basis, that’s going to help us immensely,” McKay said. The work is also about creating a “safe and respectful workplace” for employees, of which city council has one – city manager Ted Swabey. Coun. Wendy Pratt called the work with The Integrity Group a sincere effort to resolve a difficult issue and she is hoping for success, even though she doesn’t know if it will be possible. Coun. Gord Fuller said he hasn’t seen any results and has no idea where the effort with the facilitator is going, adding that part of the problem is the lack of communication by the mayor. Neither is Fuller there to make friends – his goal is to help his community, he said. McKay said he does not know when the work is expected to wrap up.

Nanaimo News Bulletin 3

Inbrief City reviews options on pot shops

Shooting nets four years A Nanaimo man found guilty in a July 2012 shooting has been sentenced to four years in jail. Jeffrey Ryan Oud, 38, was found guilty of mischief to property causing actual danger to life and intentionally discharging a firearm at a downtown Nanaimo residence. “The Crown had asked the court to impose a sentence in the range of five to seven years, so the four-year sentence was somewhat lower than what Crown was seeking in the case,” said Neil MacKenzie, Crown counsel spokesman. Oud was set to be sentenced in June by B.C. Supreme Court Judge Robin Baird, but legal arguments related to the constitutionality of the mandatory minimum sentence delayed that to Sept. 15. According to Baird’s ruling, Oud was looking to purchase crack cocaine and found someone who could “score for him,” but when the person didn’t return, he became agitated and fired seven shots at the house.

and has unknown content.” Greg Engel, chief executive officer for Tilray, believes the only action the city can take is to work with the court system and police to take action against the pot retailers. “I can’t really comment on what other steps they could take because that’s really kind of where the line is ... they are selling illegally and they are creating a lot of misconceptions to legitimate patients who could access a legal source through licensed producers like ourselves.” Anita Roy, assistant manager of Trees Dispensary Nanaimo, said her company welcomes regulations that ensure the safety and quality for its clients and patients and would like to see business licensing from the city. “It would legitimize our business and then they can collect revenue and ask us to make sure that we are safe for our staff and our clients,” she said. Federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose was not available for an interview and an e-mailed statement did not address questions about Nanaimo’s review or how municipalities are expected to deal with dispensaries. The statement maintained the federal government’s stance that the storefronts are illegal and will remain illegal under a Conservative government and that police are expected to enforce the law.

diSpENSAriES kEEp opening in Nanaimo despite lack of rules. By Tamara Cunningham The NewS BulleTiN

Nanaimo city officials are looking at what can be done about pot shops, as illegal dispensaries continue to open across the Harbour City. A city report on the issue of medical marijuana dispensaries is now in the works, with staff members looking at how other B.C. municipalities approached the pot retailers and what options are available to local governments when regulating shops. Medical marijuana dispensaries have been growing in numbers, openly selling bud, tinctures, marijuana-infused candy and soda despite being considered illegal by the federal government. Health Canada licenses only six B.C. producers, including Tilray, to sell to registered, medically prescribed patients and not from storefronts. The City of Vancouver has tried to address shops with new zoning and business licence regulations, while the City of Victoria is now looking at ways to regulate. Nanaimo doesn’t license dispensaries or levy fines for being without one. Nanaimo RCMP, while aware of the stores, has pre-

A sign spinner, who requested he not be identified, advertises for a medical marijuana dispensary in north Nanaimo. The city is studying its options on how to deal with the businesses that have opened in locations throughout Nanaimo.

viously told the News Bulletin it takes time and resources to investigate dispensaries. Now with calls from proponents and citizens about medical marijuana dispensaries and action from other local governments, Nanaimo will take its own look at the issue. Coun. Jerry Hong said he wants to provide some assurance to residents that this municipality is doing what it can to look at the situation. Mayor Bill McKay points to lack of support from the federal government for putting

municipalities in a position of having to decide what to do with dispensaries. He said it has to take a “very hard” and “very thorough” look at what it can possibly do. “My biggest fear is not the sale, but it’s the product that’s going out the door,” he said, pointing out that Nanaimo has seen a number of fentanyl deaths in the last year. “If these places are going to be regulated, I want to ensure we’re not in any way endorsing the activities of a product that people are going to consume of which come from unknown origin

MAYOR SAYS legal opinion backs move.

A stance on sign waving has everything to do with an “obligation to ensure order” in the council chambers, says Nanaimo Mayor Bill McKay. The City of Nanaimo has released an incamera legal opinion, commissioned by the mayor to see if by trying to uphold a section of the Community Charter, he wasn’t also disregarding the public’s right to free speech. McKay has adjourned past city meetings to deal with people in the gallery displaying signs or visual aids. According to the legal document, the mayor can address the conduct of those he sees as being disruptive to the business of the city, as long as he’s satisfied the per-

son’s activity isn’t protected under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. An e-mail response to the City of Nanaimo from the B.C. government, however, also shows a councillor can appeal the mayor’s decisions or points of order. McKay hopes the legal opinion provides a more detailed explanation of how the Community Charter and charter rights apply to decorum in the council chamber. Coun. Gord Fuller called the legal opinion “inconclusive” and said if he feels that the mayor is abusing his power, he will make a challenge. “If someone is abusive, then yes, have them removed,” he said. “If the cultural committee is there with a bunch of signs wanting us to support something, should they not be allowed to do that? It’s all about context.”

School closure discussion begins

truStEES SEt timetable to consult. By Karl yu

The News BulleTiN

The timetable has been set for public consultation related to potential closures in the Nanaimo school district. The school board approved revisions in principle for its updated facilities plan on Sept. 2 and Rutherford Elementary, North Cedar Intermediate, Woodbank Primary and Woodlands Secondary schools were recommended by staff as ones that could be shuttered.

As part of the plan, a new wing is recommended for Frank J. Ney Elementary to accommodate some Rutherford students. Consultation for Nor th Cedar and Woodbank will be held on Oct. 6 at a site to be determined. Rutherford will see consultation on Oct. 8 and Frank J. Ney will see consultation Oct. 13 for its parents and those from Randerson Ridge and McGirr elementary schools as they too could see more students if Rutherford closes. Woodlands will have consultation Oct. 20 and a session will be held at Nanaimo District Secondary School on Oct. 27

related to district programs, such as Learnat-Home, as they will be reviewed as part of the process. Steve Rae, school board chairman, said the district is facing a $2.7-million structural deficit and has empty seats. He said dealing with school closures are difficult, but it is a chance for people to give their opinion. “Their focus is to look out for what’s best for their family, which I totally understand and respect,” said Rae. “Our focus is to look out for what’s best for the district, so combining those two things together I think will be our biggest challenge, but that is our goal.”

Julie Leduc, who has children at Woodbank and North Cedar and plans on attending consultation, said she is in favour of closing one of the schools. “When the previous school board suggested closing two out of our three local schools, I did not agree with that plan, however, everyone is aware of our district’s financial issues and closures do need to take place,” Leduc said in an e-mail. Trustees are expected to receive a report from staff on Nov. 24. School consolidation motions are scheduled for a special board meeting Dec. 9.

Nanaimo News Bulletin 5

Many people view body fat as something they want to get rid of to look or feel better. The trouble with “belly fat” is that it’s not limited to the extra layer of padding located just below the skin (subcutaneous fat). It also includes visceral fat (deep fat) which lies deep inside your abdomen. This “gel-like” fat actually surrounded your major internal organs including the liver, pancreas and kidneys. Although subcutaneous fat poses cosmetic concerns, visceral fat is linked with far more dangerous health problems including cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes and colorectal cancer. If you have a protruding belly and large waist, that is a clear indicator that you are storing dangerous visceral fat. We at Pharmasave encourage a healthy program using a medically designed protocol to help you “burn off” visceral fat. With the Ideal Protein weight loss method, you not only see quick results, but you are also provided with weekly coaching sessions to educate, inspire and motivate you to maintain your weight loss. Our professional and friendly staff are committed to helping guide you to meet you positive change goals. Call Lisa or Deborah today and make your appointment to start your weight loss program.

Riders ready for gruelling trek

TouR dE Rock rolls through Nanaimo sunday (sept. 27). By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN

CHRIS BUSH/THe NewS BUlleTIN

Nanaimo broadcast journalist Hilary Eastmure said she has gotten to know a side of police officers reporters rarely get to see on the job. Preparing for the 2015 Tour de Rock, she has also come to value every day and the people and community that have given her support beyond anything she anticipated when she started training. ( ad 1A )

he tough physical training is over and the emotional journey has begun for the 21 riders on the 2015 Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock team. The team rode out of Port Alice on Sunday and will stop at dozens of schools and fundraising events along its 1,100-kilometre journey to fight childhood cancer. Hilary Eastmure, of 91.7 Coast FM, this year’s sole media rider, and RCMP Const. Mihai Ilioi, are Nanaimo’s riders on the team. “I almost don’t want it to start because I don’t want it to end, but I’m also very excited to meet the people along the way who make the tour so special,” Eastmure said. She expects an emotional roller coaster, meeting child cancer patients, supporters and those who’ve lost loved ones to cancer, listening to their stories and connecting with them. The experiences from training and fundraising

have given her a greater appreciation for life, friends, family and community and the support she has received so far. “I’ve just met so many incredible people,” Eastmure said. “My teammates, the 20 police officers and military police and auxiliary constables, they are amazing people. Sometimes you don’t see that aspect when you’re working with the police as a reporter, but then you get into something like this and they all have just huge hearts.” Ilioi said preparing for the tour has been one of the busiest periods of his life and said he is looking forward to absorbing every experience on the tour. “I know it’s going to be hard,” Ilioi said. “I’m not worried about rain or something like that. We are trained and we’re going to do good, but with everything going on, I just want to sink into it and be part of what tour really means for this two weeks.” Ilioi approached the training as an athletic challenge to see what his physical limits are, but he also knows he will face emotional challenges riders can’t train for. “I know I’m a grown man and a policeman too and I’ve

coNST. MIHAI ILIoI

been trained to restrain my emotions, but at the same time you’re just a human being like everyone else … it is what it is,” he said. The team arrives in Nanaimo for a Red Serge dinner at the Coast Bastion Inn Sunday (Sept. 27). Eastmure will donate her hair to raise money to fight childhood cancer when the team is in Nanaimo for a family fun event at Maffeo Sutton Park Monday (Sept. 28).

EDITORIAL

Canada must help refugees Canada has shown a willingness, in the past, to help in a time of crisis, and must do so again. Our country can claim an admirable record when it comes to admitting refugees in times of crisis. In 1956 and 1957, when Soviet tanks rolled into Hungary to crush a popular uprising, thousands fled the country. More than 30,000 of them had been admitted to Canada by the end of 1957. In 1975 and ’76, and again in 1979 and ’80, refugees from Vietnam flooded out of that country; we took in more than 5,600 from the first wave and an astonishing 50,000 from the second. Now the federal government is sticking to its guns: refugees from war-torn Syria and Iraq will be limited to 20,000 in total, spread out over several years. The NDP and Liberals have both advanced plans that are considerably more expansive. We have seen Canada absorb more people in years past, when we had a smaller population to welcome them. Despite economic setbacks, Canada today is wealthier than it was in 1956 or 1979. Our national mosaic includes communities from virtually every nation around the world – there are already Iraqi-Canadians and Syrian-Canadians here who can help the newcomers, to say nothing of the many towns, churches, families, and individuals who will willingly give a hand if the numbers are increased. The Syrian crisis has been going on for years now. The recent photo of drowned toddler Alan Kurdi has drawn more attention to the issue than hundreds of stories about the plight of the refugees. Canada has always been involved in the wider world. We can argue about what forms our intervention should take, but accepting more refugees should be an immediate priority, regardless of political posturing.

From fishing trips to hikes to dinner table discussions about why there are fewer fish in the oceans, we’ve tried to guide them to care about issues that matter. I often worry what the future will hold for my grandchildren. I sometimes feel a sense of failure when I consider the planet they’ll be inheriting. Will they run in a green forest and breathe clean air? Will they swim in clear waters and discover underwater creatures? I also have faith that the next generation will include a lot of smart, savvy and socially conscious people who will help protect the planet that we’ve treated so badly. By helping young people get outdoors, care about others and make a difference, we won’t just be raising healthier and happier children, we’ll be raising a generation of superheroes for our planet.

If ever there was a time for caution, sound judgment and leadership in Canada, it is now.

To the Editor,

Re: Country can right its course, Letters, Sept. 17. A big thank you to the letter writer for consistently demonstrating the effects of Harper Derangement Syndrome. He boldly asserts that Canada has lost “international prestige,” despite again being recognized as No. 1 by the Reputation Institute. I must have been too busy watching Dancing With The Stars to have noticed that my country has become a “ruthless” and “corporatedominated enterprise.” Now I feel oppressed. As for Conservatives being “neo,” remaining true to your foundational principles is hardly new. The NDP has been claiming itself “new” since 1961.

To the Editor,

Re: Conservatives float funding for foot ferry, Sept. 15. You failed to mention that the other candidates also support a foot ferry. Why? Are you a staunch Conservative who’s scrambling to bolster support by not properly reporting the facts? I expect a higher degree of objective professionalism. Present readers with the facts and let us make up our minds. Don’t be a shill, or, if you are, don’t be so obvious.

Virgo

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, explore a new way of thinking and keep an open mind. Maintain energy and enthusiasm about a new project. Your energy will inspire others to get moving. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 You may need to get a little pushy to get what you need, Taurus. Don’t overdo it, but don’t hesitate to insert yourself into certain situations this week. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 This is a good week to share your positive thoughts and hopes with others. It’s advantageous to have as many people on your side as you can. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you have many things to do in the coming days, but you can still manage to have fun along the way. Schedule some rest and rejuvenation once the week has passed. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 If you learn something new this week, it very well may be something important, Leo. Stay attuned to the things going on around you, so you know when to act. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Getting your point across will be difficult this week, Virgo. Take a patient approach and give others the time to explain their points of view before sharing your own.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 You are still in love with that special someone after all of these years, Libra. Share your good fortune with others and you may inspire some new relationships in the process.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, give something frivolous a try this week. You may find it takes your mind off of other things and restores some of your natural joviality. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, someone is proud of all you have accomplished. Don’t feel badly about bragging a little about the things you have done. It’s good to also be proud of yourself. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, your generosity knows no bounds this week. All that you do unselfishly will come back in spades. Keep up your charitable efforts. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, if things seem a little bit confusing this week, take some time to sit and reflect. The answers will come to you eventually.

t was too late. It was 1968, and Jessie Mazzelli’s Aunt Jessie was in Detroit, dying of breast cancer. Mazzelli’s mother, determined to be at her sister’s side, made the transatlantic trip all the way from Malta, a little island nation in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. But Mazzelli’s mother arrived in the United States too late. By the time she got there, her sister was dead. As one life was lost, life around it went on, and changed. Following the funeral, relatives from Powell River brought Mazzelli’s mother back with them to B.C. and she liked it so much she decided she wanted to move there. “She said, if everybody agreed, we’ll go as a family; if somebody disagreed, we’d stay in Malta,” recalled Mazzelli, who was 20 years old at the time. She herself had always dreamed of emigrating from the island, so she was happy to go. The decision was harder for a young man named Frank Mazzelli, but “he said OK,” and the two were engaged, married a few months later in Powell River and had three sons and now seven grandchildren. Just this month, the couple went on a pic-

nic in Ladysmith to celebrate their 45th wedding anniversary. Over those years, Mazzelli has never disregarded the disease that took her aunt’s life. Like so many Canadians, she watched Terry Fox try to cross the country on his Marathon of Hope in 1980 and marvelled at his bravery. Three years later, Powell River held its first Terry Fox Run. “I said, I have to do this in memory of Auntie Jessie. Because of her we’re in Canada. And I kept it [up] ever since,” Mazzelli said. What separates

her from other Terry Fox Run participants is her fundraising. Over 33 years, including the past six in Nanaimo, Mazzelli has collected more than $32,000 for the Terry Fox Foundation. Every summer she sets down her cross-stitching for a couple months leading up to the event and instead spends hours upon hours knocking on doors in her neighbourhood, sometimes staying out so late that her husband has to pick her up because it’s too dark to be out walking. This year Mazzelli filled 24 pledge forms. It isn’t always easy soliciting donations, and a handful of people are rude. But others have come to recognize her and assure her that they look forward to her annual visits. Mazzelli had further inspiration this year, as a cousin is now fighting breast cancer. There’s a history

of the disease in her family, but Mazzelli said she isn’t scared. It’s hope that motivates her, hope for a cure. “That’s the reason I keep on doing it…” she said. “Hopefully I can keep doing what I’m doing … and God knows what’s going to happen next year. But I do my very best.” She’ll keep participating and filling pledge forms, she said, until she can’t walk anymore. “I have people, when I knock the door, say, ‘I had cancer, and I’m cured,’ and this makes me feel good,” Mazzelli said. Because it goes to show – sometimes it’s too late, but sometimes, it’s not too late. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Quickfacts

A Nanaimo theatre company is ready to kick off its 20152016 season. On Saturday (Sept. 25), Western Edge Theatre will open the season with the premiere of Making Tracks, a production about a young woman who returns to her hometown with her boyfriend. Making Tracks is the debut play by playwright Mary Froughton, a former Vancouver Island University student. Frank Moher, Western Edge artistic producer, says Making Tracks is a family drama wrapped inside a mystery that is worth seeing. “I think it is one of the most extraordinary first plays I have ever read, much less had the privilege to produce,” Moher said. “Mary is an extraordinary talent.” In recent years Western Edge Theatre has been unable to produce a full season of shows due to a lack of financial support. However, this season, the theatre company will be running a full season as it will stage productions of Venus in Fur and His Greatness next year. “We have sort of got all the pieces back in place and that is why we are able to present a full season,” Moher said. “I anticipate that will be back even with an even larger season in 2016-2017.” Making Tracks runs from Sept. 25 to Sept. 26 and again on Oct. 2 until Oct. 4 at the Harbour City Theatre, 55 Victoria Rd.

Food festival feasts on regional cuisine

FEASTIVAL HELD at the Vancouver island Conference Centre. BY RACHEL STERN The News BulleTiN

An Island feast of food and drink to satiate the appetites of Nanaimo culinary connoisseurs is on the menu this weekend. On Saturday (Sept. 26) the first annual Feastival will take place at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Organized by the Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce, Feastival is all about showcasing growers, producers, processors, distributors, restaurants and more. During the event, people can sample dishes or try alcoholic beverages at the sips and samples area, which includes creations from Island wineries, brewers and distillers. Attendees can also

browse the trade booths for the latest kitchen gadgets or appliances. Hilary Malone, co-owner of Sea Salt Food Co., will be speaking at Feastival at 10:30 a.m. and demonstrating how to cook a dish using only regional ingredients. She says the creation of Feastival is an indication of growing public interest in local food. “There is more to food than just function; it’s cultural, political and economic,” Malone said. “Food goes beyond base nourishment. There is a lot we can do. We can make it simple or a gastronomic art.” Admission is $5 or $15 for a family of up to five. Children under 12 are $3. There are cooking workshops and food sampling tickets that people can also purchase. For more information and ticket purchases, please visit www.feastival.ca.

Emily Moore The family of Emily Moore are sorry to announce her passing on Monday Sept. 14, 2015 at 94 years of age. She was predeceased by her husband, Herbert â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chubâ&#x20AC;? Moore, and son, Peter. She is survived by sons Tom (Marjorie) and Bill (Elaine, deceased). She was also predeceased by her only brother Peter and sisters Margaret, Evelyn, and Lena. She is survived by four sisters, Marion, Ollie, Louise and Hazel. She is also survived by her grandchildren Tom (Jennifer), Tracey (Brian), Jeff (Dorota) and Dene, and daughter-in-law Reyna. She leaves 13 great grandchildren and one great grandson. Mom was born in Angusville, Manitoba and moved to Vancouver Island with her husband in 1941 where she remained. She taught school for 24 years, beginning in the original Koksilah school in Duncan, then on to Alexander school also in Duncan, and finally at Georgia Avenue school in Nanaimo. Emily and Chub were very active in minor baseball in Duncan, making many lifelong friends along the way. She enjoyed her retirement in Port Alberni and said she would always be happy as long as she could see Mt. Arrowsmith every day. We will miss her very much. A Memorial Service will be held Friday, Sept. 25th ~ 2:00 pm Seventh Day Adventist Church, 4109 Kendall Ave, Port Alberni. Reception to follow at P.A. Lawn Bowling Club, 4255 Wallace St.

IN MEMORIAM

Richard A. Mirau Sept. 29, 1967 Sept. 19, 2010 Five years have gone by. They say time heals, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fill the void left in our hearts. Missing you always, Wife Tara, and your precious girls, Teri (Mike), Jaclyn and Jenna. We miss you Dad We miss you on the big days, like when I graduated, when my sister got married. Â When we make big choices like buying cars or moving out. We miss you when we go on vacations and when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at home. Â Â Â We also miss you on normal days. When weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re watching a funny movie and wish you were there to laugh with us. Â When we want to go for a walk with the dogs and you. When weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re driving and we hear your favourite song on the radio. And every night before bed we miss 106775 your hugs and the way you said goodnight in the loving way you did. Always in our hearts. Dad & Mom, Garth & Judy Mirau; sister, Kim (Bruce) Sly, and brothers, Kevin (Patti) Mirau; Brad (Janet) Mirau, and their families.

For those who love, time is not. Missing you today and always.

You are Missed!

Police are looking for the owner of an electric scooter that was found in south Nanaimo in June.

Police searching for items’ owners

The Nanaimo RCMP is holding a newer model Motorino electric scooter, found in early June in south Nanaimo. The scooter is in excellent condition, with an alarm and a bumper sticker on the rear fender. Since the scooter was turned in more than 90 days ago, if the registered owner cannot be found the scooter might be turned over to the person who found it, according to Nanaimo RCMP. Police are also searching for the owner of a gold ring encircled with diamonds found in 2007 when it caught the eye of a man out for his lunch break. Not seeing anyone who appeared frantically searching for it, he placed it in his pocket and there it remained until one day last week when the man checked the pockets of some old clothes he planned to donate to the Salvation Army and pulled out the ring he found eight years ago. “Our finder is hopeful who ever lost it can finally stop wondering what came of it,” Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman, said in a press release. Anyone with information about these items’ rightful owners, please call the Nanaimo RCMP non-emergency line at 250-754-2345.

Clippers victorious in home opener I

JR. A HOCKEY team wins one, loses one.

Nanaimo News Bulletin 25

V.I. Raiders pass their way to win BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN

BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN

The Nanaimo Clippers had things under control most of the night and won their home opener. The Clips doubled up the Victoria Grizzlies 4-2 in B.C. Hockey League action Friday at Frank Crane Arena. The home team scored goals in the first, second and third periods to build a 3-0 lead and dominated long stretches of play with its forecheck. “That’s the way that we want to play,” said Mike Vandekamp, Clippers coach. “We want to be a real hard forechecking team and a puck possession club and guys are starting to get a little bit of the idea of that.” Kale Bennett, Clippers alternate captain, said his team tried to stick to the coaches’ game plan. “It works, clearly,” he said. “When we can dominate them like that and play in their zone, it makes it a lot easier on the D men.” A five-on-three power play allowed the Grizzlies to close the gap to 3-1, and then the visitors added another with their goalie pulled before an empty netter by the Clippers iced the win. “It’s still early season, so there’s some mistakes out there, it’s a little sloppy for us,” Bennett said. “But overall, I

at Frank Crane Arena by the Powell River Kings. Nanaimo fell behind 3-0 in the contest, but made things interesting. Edwin Hookenson scored late in the second period to make it 3-1, then Matthew Hoover made it a one-goal game six and a half minutes into the third period. The Kings scored an

empty-net goal with a minute and a half left, but the Clips again drew within one on a goal by Rempal. Jakob Walter tended goal for the Clippers and his team outshot the Kings 48-29. Rempal finished with a goal and two assists and Devin Brosseau had two helpers.

The V.I. Raiders passed the ball up and over the Westshore Rebels and won a football game that way. The Raiders defeated the Rebels 35-16 in B.C. Football Conference action on Saturday afternoon at Caledonia Park. V.I. quarterback Liam O’Brien threw five touchdown passes, three to Arthur Fabbro, and the home team led by a comfortable margin all game long. “We did a fair bit of passing and we were pretty on [our] game,” said Fabbro. “Other games we’ve been kind of stuck getting the ball moving … This game we were able to really get some drives going and get some big pass plays.” The Raiders were successful with some homerun tosses. “We always want to go for the deep balls, but we haven’t really had the time, maybe,” Fabbro said. “This game it was there. It’s just being able to hit it.” There were a lot of penalties, with the Raiders getting flagged for 175 yards. “We were very undisciplined, which I did not like, especially since that is something we preached the whole week,” said Jerome Erdman, Raiders coach.

Inbrief sports

Lacrosse dream comes true A Nanaimo player captured Canadian lacrosse’s ultimate prize, the Mann Cup. Scott Ranger, captain of the Victoria Shamrocks, led his team to a national championship this month as his squad defeated the Peterborough Lakers in six games. It might mean a perfect ending to a lacrosse career for the 32-year-old Ranger, who is hinting strongly at retirement. He was an all-star and won an NLL Champion’s Cup with the Calgary Roughnecks, and was a Western Lacrosse Association champion and MVP and now has the Mann Cup. He brought the historic trophy to Kirby’s Source for Sports in Nanaimo last Wednesday, hoping to inspire local minor lacrosse players. “It gives them something to hope for…” Ranger said. “That’s what it’s all about and that’s why I brought it here, just for anybody to see that a dream can come true in lacrosse, and that’s what it is to me, is a dream that came true.” An expanded version of this article was published online Thursday and can be accessed at www.nanaimobulletin. com/sports.
