Voters send Malcolmson to Ottawa

Threats of closure impact enrolment

BY GREG SAKAKI

THE NEWS BULLETIN

Nanaimo’s new MP is hopeful her party will be able to work together with a majority Liberal government, for Vancouver Island and for Canada. Sheila Malcolmson of the New Democratic Par ty was elected in the Nanaimo-Ladysmith riding on Monday with 33.1 per cent of the popular vote and a margin of victory of 6,500 votes. She is expected to be sworn in next m o n t h , re p l a c i n g Nanaimo-Alberni’s James Lunney and Nanaimo-Cowichan’s Jean Crowder. Malcolmson pointed out that in the past, New Democrats and Liberals co-operated on initiatives such as public health care, old-age security and the Canada Pension Plan. “We want a lot of the same things and I’m confident we’ll be able to work together,” Malcolmson said. “I’m taking [Prime Minister designate Justin] Trudeau at his word that he wants the best for the whole country and he wants to represent all Canadians.” See ‘NDP’ /7

Park planting

Graeme Corsan was among neighbourhood volunteers planting trees at Hawthorne Park Saturday. The City of Nanaimo beat out 125 applicants and was awarded $13,300 from TD Friends of the Environment Foundation and Tree Canada, as part of TD’s Green Streets program. The money will be used to plant trees at Hawthorne Park, which had large portions burned in a brush fire this summer.

I can resist anything except temptation.

Woodlands Secondary community members say the school’s history of being on the chopping block is having an effect on enrolment. The high school has been considered for both closure and rebuild by various Nanaimo school district boards in the past, and under a current proposal, could be closed in June 2016. The school district said Woodlands has a projected student count of 514 in 2015, with functional capacity of 700. If closed, students would be distributed to Nanaimo District and Wellington secondary schools, leading to enhanced programming and greater support for students, according to the school district. Stakeholders attended a closure consultation meeting Tuesday night. Joshua Holloway, a Grade 12 student at Woodlands, said its status has been a roller-coaster ride throughout his high school years. When he entered Grade 8, it was thought a new school would be built. “Year by year, I started

to realize this could possibly, actually, happen and this year when they said there’s a strong potential that Woodlands could close this year, while I was sad, there was also a sense of, we kind of saw this one coming,” he said. Chris Sholberg, who has a child enrolled in Grade 8, said the long-standing threat of closure is a legitimate concern. “There’s no way to quantify it necessarily or statistically or anything, but it’s sort of the perception,” said Sholberg. “We just know other families that were in the area that chose to go elsewhere just because they figured the school was going to be closing.” Steve Rae, board chairman, said the threat of closure’s effect on enrolment is a fair observation. He empathizes with parents, but the board must deal with the facts. “I know I will consider it, but we have to base things on the facts of where we are today. That is speculation, it is a fair speculation ... but I know that all trustees will go through whatever they need to go through on each of the schools we’re discussing to come to an educated decision on what we do with that school and others in the district,” Rae said. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

needs rezoning process

proviNcE rolliNg out changes to laws on alcohol in B.C. By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN

Nanaimo city politicians will continue to call the shots on where liquor is sold, deciding Monday that grocers must win the right to sell B.C. wine, sake and cider through a rezoning process. Nanaimo city council decided that grocery stores’ owners will have to meet certain criteria and apply to rezone, if they want to stock shelves with B.C. wine, sake and cider. Politicians also agreed to review the city’s liquor control strategy to reflect new provincial rules. The document was crafted 12 years ago. The province has been rolling out new changes to liquor control legislation. No more than 57 wine licences are expected to be available in the province and there are 12 retailers in Nanaimo that city staff believe would be eligible. Council agreed 6-1 to have staff members bring back a zoning bylaw change to add the definition of wine in grocery stores to its bylaw and create criteria for

future rezoning applications. It’s the option that gives council the highest amount of control, according to city planner Dave Stewart. Coun. Diane Brennan wanted to allow wine sales only where liquor stores already exist, while other groceries would have to rezone. It’s a continuation of past practice, said Brennan, who pointed out that if a liquor outlet is on the property, the city would have already gone to the community, had a public hearing and determined liquor sales fit the neighbourhood. But Coun. Jerry Hong argued that it doesn’t seem fair. Thrifty Foods at Longwood Station, for example, would be allowed to sell wine, while Quality Foods across the street would have to rezone. “If we’re going to play fair it’s either we allow all of them to do it, or none of them and come to council,” said Hong, who also voted against ancillary wine sales because of the need for public input and to help local businesses. Only Coun. Bill Bestwick was opposed to having grocery stores apply for rezoning. The vote for a liquor control strategy was unanimous. Work is expected to get underway in early 2016. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Sewer tax levied

A new tax could be levied on Green Lake homeowners. More than 70 homes in Nanaimo’s Green Lake neighbourhood have connected to the city’s new mandatory sewer system since 2013, but haven’t paid taxes for the service. The City of Nanaimo announced it’s time for those homeowners to join the regional district sewer benefiting area and pay a tax, beginning next year. In 2015, the rate for the sewer benefiting area amounted to $123.31 for a home valued at $350,000. Ever y year, the

municipality is c h a rg e d b y t h e Regional District of Nanaimo to run the Greater Nanaimo Pollution Control Centre Treatment Plant and the cost is divvied up among properties in the sewer benefiting area. The City of Nanaimo decided to install a sewer system for Green Lake in 2011, almost four decades after amalgamation. Once sanitary sewer was brought to the area, all properties would be subject to the RDN tax, according to a city report. The tax is expected to roll out next year.

City up in business index

fEdEratioN rEport raises Nanaimo to 39 from 77th place. By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN

Nanaimo isn’t Canada’s most entrepreneurial city, but it put on a good showing in this year’s City Entrepreneurial Index rankings. The rankings are published annually in the Canadian Federation of Independent Business Entrepreneurial Communities report, which lists Canada’s top places to start and grow businesses in 2015. Out of a field of 121 Canadian cities listed in the report, released Monday, Nanaimo ranked 39th, taking a big jump from 77th place in 2014. Cities are ranked according to 14 entrepreneurship indicators, grouped into three main categories: presence, a representation of scale and growth of business ownership; perspective, which includes optimism and growth plans; and policy, which covers the effects of business regulation and taxation by local governments.

The higher a city scores, the more likely it is to have a high concentration of entrepreneurs and a high business start-up rate. “There’s a few categories that jumped out at me,” said Andre Sullivan, Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation board chairman. “Life satisfaction – we all know it, but this is a great place to live and that showed last year, but even better this year. Full-time hiring – that is an indication, fundamentally, that we have a low unemployment rate here. That’s not necessarily the perception of the community, but it’s the reality that we have low unemployment.” Sullivan credits a good showing in the government awareness of small business category to the municipal government for creating the Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation and Innovation Island, which offer support to existing and startup businesses. Favourable reports can always be used as endorsements to attract new businesses. “So when talking to outside investors, it is helpful to have this third-party validation,” Sullivan said. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

Jays good for business

jErSEyS popular among fans of Major league Baseball team. By Nicholas Pescod The News BulleTiN

The Toronto Blue Jays’ first post-season appearance in more than two decades has won over some fans in the Harbour City. The Blue Jays, who are Canada’s only team in Major League Baseball, reached the playoffs for the first time in 22 years earlier this month. The team’s last post-season appearance was in 1993, the year it last won the World Series. At Nanaimo sports apparel store Game On Sports, anything related to the Blue Jays has been flying off the shelves since the playoffs began. “We’ve seen a huge boom in sales, to the point where, at times, we can’t keep a jersey in the store,” said store manager Liam Glaim. “We have seen a huge increase in the Jays apparel being sold to the point where we still have to keep an up-front section for it.” Glaim said men’s, women’s and kids’ apparel as well as hats and novelty items have been selling extremely well and that anything with third basemen Josh Donaldson’s name on it doesn’t stay on the shelf for very long. “He’s definitely the most sought-

after player and item in the store,” Glaim said. “You can’t keep his stuff in the store for more than a day.” During the regular season, Toronto acquired pitcher David Price and shortstop Troy Tulowitzki in a series of trades and merchandise sales have been increasing steadily ever since, according to Glaim. “That was the turning point,” Glaim said. “That was where we were starting to notice the excitement increase and more and more people come into the store specifically asking for Blue Jays stuff.” The city’s bars and pubs have also benefited from the Blue Jays’ recent success. Carlos O’Bryan’s owner Elaine Nelson-Hosak said there has been an increase in customers since the playoffs began and that people are on the Blue Jays’ bandwagon. “They are coming in with their hats and wearing their shirts,” she said. “They are definitely on the bandwagon.” With Major League Baseball’s playoff scheduling, some of the Blue Jays playoff games have started in the early afternoon, which Nelson-Hosak said has benefited her establishment. “If anything, it is actually bringing people out,” she said. The Blue Jays faced elimination at the hands of the Kansas City Royals yesterday prior to press time. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

One of the Liberal Party’s central planks in the election campaign was infrastructure spending, and Malcolmson said it’s her role as a responsible and effective MP to advocate for her riding’s fair share. “We’ll be bringing forward a positive vision around how good infrastructure investments can be for partnerships with our local governments and for getting people to work in the communities, as well,” she said. Her party will also try to hold the Liberal government accountable on its promise of electoral reform. “We will continue to bring forward the positive arguments around how much better for the country it would be to have a voting system where every vote counts,” Malcolmson said. “It gets higher voter turnout, it elects more women and has more diversity, more

youth engagement and results in more stable policies that really are for the common good and are more long-lasting as a result.” Some of the work started immediately after the election, as Malcolmson spent much of the next day on the phone with her Island NDP colleagues. The group will try to “get into a local huddle,” she said, whether on the Island or in Ottawa. “We’re very excited about what we’re going to be able to do as a Vancouver Island team…” Malcolmson said. “We’re going to be a really positive and strong voice for our Vancouver Island communities, but that is going to be something that echoes in the country, as well. It has to.” For more election coverage, including reaction from other local candidates, please visit www.nanaimobulletin. com. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Malcolmson played a part, this election, in establishing something of an NDP bastion on Vancouver Island, where the party had candidates elected in six of seven ridings. “We’ll be able to work cohesively together and be able to bring to the Liberal cabinet some of the really good and inspiring stories from Vancouver Island that I think the rest of the countr y needs,” she said. “A great example of that is the work that’s already happening in our communities around nation-to-nation building and recovery from the residential school experience and indigenous government.” Other issues that matter to the Island, she said, include renewing and upholding the softwood lumber agreement, and climate change, including its impacts on the salmon industry. “There’s a couple of

EDITORIAL

Change coming across Canada

It’s time for campaign promises and catchy slogans to become something more concrete. Canada’s electorate charted a new course for the country on Monday, handing the Liberal Party a majority government and a strong mandate. No matter how we cast our votes, we might as well be hopeful about what’s to come. Vancouver Island didn’t elect any Members of Parliament who will be part of the government caucus, but opposition voices in Ottawa can make themselves heard. What’s more, issues that are important here on the Island are often ones that are important across the country. The federal government’s action – or inaction – on environmental policy and relationships with First Nations, for instance, will be felt here. Promised changes to tax legislation will affect people in every riding. We will pay close attention to the infrastructure investment file – it was important enough, after all, for the Liberals to hazard three years of budget deficits. We in Nanaimo-Ladysmith will be paying our share of tax dollars into this pool and therefore deserve to benefit. We could sure use the jobs and the economic stimulus. But until the feds put in place a framework for infrastructure spending, it is impossible to predict what projects will qualify, what share of funding will be required from other levels of government and what role the private sector will play. One of the most intriguing promises made by the Liberals was electoral reform. It has never seemed like something any majority government would realistically enact, but it was promised, and the notion of a more proportional form of representation is an appealing one, here on the Island and across the country. This week’s election showed Canada wants change. By marking our ballots, we helped to initiate that change. And now we have an opportunity – along with our elected representatives and our new government – to effect that change.

Can we compete in health sciences, engineering, architecture, digital media, and information technology? Do we want to? The TPP doesn’t change B.C.’s dependency on the United States. As with NAFTA, our vital lumber trade remains under a separate agreement, which expired on Oct. 1. After decades of bitter legal actions from the American industry, the latest softwood deal has provided a rough peace. It set a floor price for B.C.’s allegedly subsidized lumber exports, with an export tax collected by Canada when the price went below the floor of $355 per thousand board feet. That money went back into our government general revenue. Higher prices meant no export tax was collected through 2014 and early 2015, and only five per cent as of September. Now that the agreement is expired, by default we have actual free trade in lumber for up to the next year. ◆ Tom Fletcher is columnist and legislature reporter for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

New PM reflects Canada’s values To the Editor,

Justin Trudeau’s election could best be described as a beautiful spring morning. The sun is shining, the flowers and trees are all blooming, the birds are singing. and the water is like a piece of glass. The vise put on Canadians by the steely, determined Stephen Harper to force Conservative values down their throats is gone. Freedom at last and what a relief. Justin Trudeau reflects the values of a new generation and these are liberal values as young people are more open-minded and compassionate toward new, evolving ideas and scientific research. Conservative ideology is in decline in North America and this is a real problem for Conservative/ Republicans that is only increasing as older voters die off. Hopefully Trudeau can reverse the damage from Harper’s vise. Good luck Justin Trudeau.

R.G. Burnett Nanaimo

To the Editor,

As a Conservative I watched the destruction of the party; the only solace I got was the destruction of the NDP. The Liberals and Justin Trudeau showed that they still have the ability to win. Trudeau surprised many with his strength in the debates and his leadership. Stephen Harper disappointed many who

To the Editor,

The malaise which has degradated our country for a decade has finally been removed. Although not a Liberal supporter, I am profoundly relieved that our international reputation has some chance of being resurrected from the gutter. With a huge international climate conference upcoming, I hope that our new prime minister will bring intelligent guarantees to the table. As a world-leading per-person producer of greenhouse gases, nothing else will rehabilitate our reputation. There is enough coal, gas and oil still to be tapped underground that will cook our world many times over. We need to set an example and leave it in the ground. Otherwise, our children’s world is bleak.

saw his arrogance in not making himself available for more than five questions at the debates and all party rallies. Tom Mulcair’s personal hate of Harper, without a bit of decorum, was obvious and showed him as a bitter person which I am sure cost his party votes. The gutless senior ministers and MPs should have insisted Harper step down as leader after the Mike Duffy and Pamela Wallin scandal. Instead they let their constituents down and quit before the election, running away with their big pensions. Once more the socialists on Vancouver Island probably placed us at the bottom of the list for federal funds.

Gardo D. Gurr Nanaimo

To the Editor,

Amazing the federal election is over, once again voting in an MP belonging to the third party in parliament. During the election campaign, the Conservatives promised that they would make sure that passengeronly ferry service would be implemented from downtown Nanaimo to downtown Vancouver. How convenient and a great idea that was. Now the foot passenger ferry service will never come into existence. Just look at the amount of extra federal funding that never hits this riding because of the voting of a majority of the voters. Enjoy the next four years, but don’t ever complain, you made the choice.

Dave Cutts Nanaimo

To the Editor,

Isn’t it time for proportional representation? In both the 2011 and the 2015 elections, less than 40 per cent of those who voted ended up with the government they wanted. In Nanaimo, less than a third of voters supported the winning candidate. In other words, 67 per cent of Nanaimo voters wasted the time and effort they spent voting. Surely a modern democracy can do better than that. If we had proportional representation everybody’s vote would count.

The event begins at 11 a.m. and is open to all ages. “Being up close and being able to actually touch the instruments is what lets kids decide what they want to play,” said Margot Holmes, symphony executive director. “That is the joy of it.

Exhibit explores African art

VIU GALLERY re-imagines its space.

Vibrant colours meld with anthropological study in the work of Qualicum Beach artist Maureen Marshall. “ M o s t p e o p l e ’s impressions is the colours just pop off the wall,” said Justin McGrail, curator of The View Gallery at Vancouver Island University, where Marshall’s exhibit hangs until Nov. 13. “She studied anthropology as well as art, but there is a real anthropological sense here. It is art about art. She paints as if painting on paper.” Marshall’s exhibit contains 31 paintings, which she donated to the university. After the exhibit, the paintings will be sold to raise money for VIU.

RACHEL STERN/THE NEwS BuLLETiN

Justin McGrail, curator of The View Gallery at Vancouver Island University, examines the salon wall of the African Scrapbook: Paintings by Maureen Marshall exhibit on display until Nov. 13.

Marshall, 94, finds inspiration in the human form and iconography from her world travels. Her paintings for the exhibit were created from sketches, masks and carvings she saw during her travels in Africa. In a press release, Marshall said her inspiration came

mostly from archeology. She was born in England and moved to Canada with her family when she was three. One of the features in the exhibit is a salon wall. When visiting the gallery people might notice the pieces don’t have title

cards. McGrail said he is trying to change the experience and make it more visual. As an artist himself, McGrail said he’d rather have the viewer spend more time looking at the painting instead of the title. “This is the view. It is a space to look at

art without titles,” said McGrail. “I think it actually frees people up to keep people just looking and feeling what they think.” In May, the Nanaimo Art Gallery closed its campus location, now The View’s home.

Acupuncture Bonnie and Kelvin Campbell recently celebrated their fifth anniversary as owners of The Nanaimo Wine Shoppe, located just behind Country Club Shopping Centre on Norell Drive at Ross Road. You can make your wine in-store from a large selection of RJ Spagnols and CellarCraft wine kits, or buy kits and supplies from making wine at home. We appreciate the many friends and customers we have met over the last five years and recognize that helping people make good wine is both a serious and fun relationship. We help our customers select new wines to try, take care of all the details between pitching the yeast and bottling, and try to make the bottling a short but pleasant experience with a good selection of music syncopated with the sound of the pneumatic corker! We have four, six and eight week wine kits so ‘There still is time to make your wine for the holidays’. As well, if you are planning a wedding of special family event, it is now legal to serve U-Vin wine at many venues with a Family Special Occasion Licence. Many of our customers make wine for gifts of share a batch with friends, family or neighbours. The new Limited Release Passport 2015 kits from Kenridge Showcase and the RQ 2015 kits from RJ Spagnols will start arriving in December. For more information, drop by to pick up one of the brochures or go online at rjspagnols.com or cellarcraftwines.com. We’re taking reservations for orders now!

Acupuncture can treat stress and depression especially at this time of year when the weather is changing with less sunlight and colder temperatures. The reason acupuncture is a solution for stress and emotion is because acupuncture treatment affects the chi (energy) that travels through the 12 meridians. Each of the12 meridians has a different timing throughout the 24 hour day and also every season. During the fall season the liver, gall bladder and lung meridians are especially affected. Sometimes the chi can’t run smoothly inside the meridian so affects the organs and the emotions. Acupuncture can be like a key that opens a door and helps the stuck chi run smoothly.

Cyclist’s passion for life explored in documentary film You can see it in his eyes, in his movements, and hear it in his voice. Giuseppe Marinoni is a passionate man. In his youth he was a champion cyclist, but he put competition aside and began to craft

steel bicycles. Yet, his devotion as a master bike craftsman was taking a toll on his health. Years of inhaling toxic fumes in his workshop were affecting his body. Marinoni’s story is told in the documentary film Marinoni: The Fire in the Frame. The film is

being shown as part of TheatreOne’s Fringe Flicks series Sunday and Monday (Oct. 25-26). “It’s the story of an immigrant who came here with nothing and built a new life. This film has been inspiring in that respect,” said Tony Girardin,

the film’s director. “I couldn’t believe an old man could be so animated and have such a zest for life.” The film shows Sunday at 1, 4 and 7 p.m. and Monday at 7 p.m. Girardin will introduce the film and hold question-and-answer

sessions after each showing. Tickets are $12 and are available at www.theatreone.org. reporter2@nanaimobulletin.com

The most popular material for front doors is steel. Easy to maintain and durable, it also gives excellent value for money. In addition, it’s ideal for all architectural styles. You like the look of wood? While a wooden door can add curb appeal to your property, it’s going to be less effective as far as insulation is concerned. If you go ahead with wood, be sure to use the latest in weather stripping, which is more efficient than it used to be. Many wooden doors have also been designed to prevent warping with time.

efficiency. They are resistant to weatherwear, scratching and UV rays, but they’re more expensive than steel doors. If you want to customize your front door, you can opt for one with a stained glass window. Bear in mind that the bigger the window, the less efficient the insulation will be, although double glazing will help provide more energy efficiency. Now all you have to do is choose the type of door that suits you best.

Are you looking for a durable material that is resistant to shocks, cracking and warping? Fiberglass will meet all these expectations.

DEATHS

FLESH, Vernon Abbott

June 5,1931 – October 13, 2015 Vern passed away peacefully on the morning of October 13, surrounded by his loving family following a courageous battle with cancer. Some of Vern’s favorite pastimes included playing the piano, reading, camping and always finding something to fix. He especially enjoyed taking cruises with his wife Shirley, and the occasional tag-a-long family member. Vern always had a story to tell to anyone that would listen. He had owned many automotive electrical businesses in Nanaimo starting AC Electric in 1952, and ending with Flesh Electric in 1985, which operates to this day under his son Gerry and grandson Ryan. He was a member of Doric Masonic Lodge #18 in Nanaimo for 58 years and a long- standing member of the Easter Star Crescent Chapter #10. Vern is survived by his loving wife, Shirley of 62 years; children Gerry (Barb) and Myrna (Collin); grandchildren Lisa (Mike), Ryan (Ashlee), Lindsay and Paula; step- grandchildren Warren and Genene; great grandchildren Kyra, Gavin, Tayvin and Easton, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Thank you to the in-laws for your support: Gloria Cleveland, Bob Temple and Pearl Pauling. Special mention to his buddies: Emil Sorenson for his friendship and Jack Bowe for being his Tuesday morning coffee buddy. The family would like to thank the Palliative Care Unit at NRGH for their exceptional compassionate care to Vern and his family members. A celebration of life will be held on November 14, 2015 1pm to 4 pm (1:30 presentation) at Pleasant Valley Social Centre, 6100 Dumont Road Nanaimo. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Palliative Care Unit at NRGH, Nanaimo. We only part to meet again (Jon Gay)

DEATHS

Yvonne Valerie (Boll) Wenaus Yvonne Valerie (Boll) Wenaus was born on August 11, 1927 and left us on October 15, 2015. Her remarkable ability to form instant friendships that last a lifetime is reflected in the number of people that are mourning her passing. Throughout her life she was physically active in competitive sports. As recent as last winter at the age of 87 she curled for both the Nanaimo senior women’s and the mixed league. Throughout her years she coached many young athletes in fastball, curling and golf. She was a strong influence in the revival of the Fillmore Golf Course. Yvonne is predeceased by her husband John in 2002, 8 siblings and their partners. She is survived by her children Wayne (Susan), Wendy, Rick (Bonnie), Carol (Charles), Lee, and David (Pam). She has 14 grandchildren, 8 great grandchildren, and 4 living siblings Eugene (Helen) Boll, Loretta (Melvin) Wenaus, Lucille (Bill) McConkey and David Boll. She was born and raised in the Viceroy/ Verwood area and lived in Fillmore, Regina, and Nanaimo. She was a strong competitor who approached everything she did with the same winning attitude. She never lost a game because there was always a time in the game when she was winning. She was our mother, a grandmother, a greatgrandmother, a sister and a best friend. She was full of love for everyone and everyone gave that love right back to her. There will be a small service with her church family at Hope Lutheran on Saturday 24th at 1:30 p.m. and a gathering for her numerous friends at Bowen Complex- Club House, 500 Bowen Road from 4 to 7 p.m. Please come and bring your memories.

The victim owns a commercial property in Nanaimo and was told by the male her power would be shut off immediately if she did not pay an outstanding hydro bill. The victim was at work at the time of the call and asked for a name and call back number. When she called she spoke again to the same male who identified himself as “Mike Harris” and was transferred to Accounts Payable. The victim provided her credit card information and was told her hydro would not be cancelled. Only after making the payment, did she contact the real BC Hydro and was informed it was a fraud. Fortunately, she was able to contact her credit card company and have the charges cancelled. Nanaimo file # 2-15-28265 In early October a male was scammed for $1500 after attempting to purchase a computer over the phone from a male who identified himself as “Leo”. The suspect told the victim he could purchase the computer by sending pre-paid Visa Vanilla cards to a Post office box in Fortson Georgia. After purchasing and sending the Visa cards, he was told the computer was out of stock and was asked to send an additional $1700 to install security software. At that point, the victim called police and only then did he realize he had been scammed. Nanaimo file # 2015-28853 On Thursday October 1st between 8:40 am and 1:00 pm a home in the 2400 block of Divot Drive was broken into. Suspects entered through a lower bathroom window.

Various drawers and rooms were also rummaged through. The suspect(s) left the home through a downstairs sliding glass door. Nanaimo file # 2015-28844 On Thursday October 1st a theft of a Mastercraft Mitre Saw and extension cord was reported from the backyard of home in the 3700 block of Cottleview Drive.

Raiders play for B.C. title

FOOTBALL TEAM will be underdogs against rival Sun. BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

GREG SAKAKI/THE NEWS BULLETIN

Vancouver Island University Mariners player Rachel Jones, left, kicks the ball during Sunday afternoon’s match against the Capilano Blues at Mariner Field. The home team won the Pacific Western Athletic Association matchup 4-1.

Mariners soccer teams chase first place BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

The VIU Mariners soccer teams finished off their home schedules by sweeping to victory. Va n c o u v e r I s l a n d University’s men’s and women’s sides won all their matches on Saturday and Sunday. The women beat the Langara Falcons 2-1 and then handled the Capilano Blues 4-1, while the men also beat the Falcons by a 2-1 score before shutting out the Blues 4-0. “Our formation’s starting to pick up now and we’ve got an identity of how we want to play and we’re getting more

and more comfortable doing that and I’m really happy with the way our team’s playing right now,” said Anup Kang, coach of the Mariners women. Samantha Rodgers and Jill Kelly scored in Saturday’s win and Jess Burma, Rachel Jones, Kaylee Dodds and Maddy Dawson scored the next day. The M’s women are now unbeaten in their last nine matches. Burma said her team has gotten better at forcing its game as the season has gone along. “Instead of focusing on the other team, we’re just playing our

game, working the ball around, playing it on the ground,” she said. The regular season intensifies this week as the VIU women play their next match on the road against the firstplace Douglas Royals. The M’s women are three points back of the Royals. “They know what’s on the line,” Kang said. “A regular-season title is nice to have in your back pocket. We’ll be ready. This is a focused group; it’s a veteran group.” Last Sunday’s matches at Mariner Field were the final home games in Nanaimo for VIU gradu-

ating players Rodgers, Burma, Sarah Meredith, as well as Chris Arnett, captain of the men’s side, and the veterans were honoured with a jersey presentation ceremony. “It’s definitely gone by a lot faster than the other ones. It seems like the season just started…” Burma said. “My main focus [this year] was just to have fun and give it my all in my last year. Make it a good one.” GAME ON … VIU plays at Douglas on Saturday (Oct. 24) and then visit the Kwantlen Eagles on Sunday. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

The championship game involves a rivalry and history. But mostly, it will be about football as B.C.’s top two junior football teams try for the title. The Vancouver Island Raiders play the Okanagan Sun on Sunday (Oct. 25) in the B.C. Football Conference championship. “They are the class of the league and I’m not going to deny that,” said Jerome Erdman, V.I. coach. “But we are playing Sunday. On any given Sunday, you never know. We’re going to have to play our best to beat them, but that’s what playoff football’s all about.” The undefeated Sun (110) get home-turf advantage at the Apple Bowl when they take on the Raiders (8-3) this weekend. But winning the Lorne Cullen Cup isn’t easy. It’s worth noting that the Sun, who have won 14 B.C. championships in their history, have not won the cup since the Raiders entered the league in 2005. Nanaimo has won seven championships since. The most recent history has favoured the Sun. Okie defeated V.I. by a 27-3 score in Nanaimo in August and then 28-7 in

Kelowna in September. Even though the Raiders have been stymied by the Sun so far, they won’t do anything dramatically different this time around, Erdman said. “You might have a couple new schemes, but you can’t go radically different when you just don’t have enough time to perfect it. That’s when ugly things start happening…” he said. “We’ve just got to improve on what we are doing and do that very well.” He mentioned that both games against the Sun were close at halftime, so a full four-quarter performance could make all the difference. “And [we want to] put them in a close game, see how they react when it’s really close later on in a game,” he said. “They’re such a good team they haven’t had that occur to them yet.” Nigel Henry, V.I. linebacker, said he likes the way the Raiders match up against the Sun, or any opponent. “We’re a good team, they’re a good team. So it’s just going to be a battle,” he said. “It’s going to be the team that makes the least mistakes and executes the most, like always.” To read an expanded version of this article, please visit www.nanaimobull etin.com/sports. GAME ON … The Raiders and Sun kick off Sunday at 1 p.m. in Kelowna.

NOTICE TO ELECTORS OF AN ALTERNATIVE APPROVAL PROCESS “LINLEY VALLEY COTTLE LAKE PARK DEDICATION REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL BYLAW 2015 NO. 7219” Pursuant to Section 86 of the Community Charter, the City of Nanaimo hereby gives notice that it is seeking the assent of the electors of the City of Nanaimo by an Alternative Approval Process. This Alternative Approval Process applies to the entire City of Nanaimo. Under Section 30(3) of the Community Charter, in order to remove the application of “Park Dedication Bylaw 2011 No. 7137” from this portion of Linley Valley Cottle Lake Park, a new bylaw must be adopted and may only be adopted with the approval of the electors. Further, in accordance with Section 27 of the Community Charter [Exchange or other disposal of park land] the property exchange must receive the approval of the electors. Approval of the electors may be received by way of an Alternative Approval Process. The question before the electors is whether they are opposed to “Linley Valley Cottle Lake Park Dedication Removal and Disposal Bylaw 2015 No. 7219”, a bylaw to authorize the removal of the park dedication from that 0.2 hectares (0.5 acres) portion of Linley Valley (Cottle Lake) Park (the “Closed Park Area”) and to dispose of the Closed Park Area to the registered owner of that land legally described as PID: 000-011-673, Lot 1, Section 13, Wellington District, Plan 30110 (“Lot 1”) in exchange for an equal portion of Lot 1 (the “New Park Area”) as shown on the location plan below (Schedule “A”).

VIU v-ball swept up in opener The VIU Mariners will have to make some net gains to get better in PacWest play. Vancouver Island University’s women’s volleyball team was swept in both its matches against the Camosun Chargers this past weekend to start the regular season. Camo won 25-8, 27-25, 25-22 on Friday in Victoria, then took the win the next night at the VIU gym, 25-21, 25-22, 25-18. Shane Hyde, coach of the Mariners women, said his team was sporadic – out of position at times, trying to do too much at other times or simply missing serves. “I thought we were a little bit further ahead than we are right now, but I guess it’s back to the drawing board a bit,” he said. The Mariners men’s volleyball team was also swept, losing 25-22, 30-28, 20-25, 25-22 and then 25-20, 25-21, 25-23. VIU’s volleyball teams now have a bye week. sports@nanaimobulletin.com
