JUST 202 so far plan to attend reopened secondary school. BY KARL YU THE NEWS BULLETIN
KARL YU/THE NEWS BULLETIN
Chris Jeffs and siblings ended a long-standing family tradition of making and handing out candy apples for Halloween this past Saturday. Their father and mother, the late Ted and Ella Jeffs, made candy apples for more than 60 years.
Family makes last batch of candy apples for Halloween BY KARL YU THE NEWS BULLETIN
This past weekend not only spelled the end of daylight time, but for residents of Cosgrove Crescent it was also the end of Halloween candy apples from the Jeffs family. According to Chris Jeffs, parents Ted and Ella first began making and distributing candy apples for Halloween in 1950, the year they were married, when they lived in Harewood. The tradition continued after they moved to Cosgrove Crescent in 1963.
Both parents died within the last few years and the house has been sold, but seeing as the owners hadn’t taken possession yet, Jeffs said it was time for one last hurrah. “This is like a tribute to them,” said Jeffs. “This is an even 65 years, so after [Halloween] is done, this will be the last year for the apples for the kids. It’s all good. It’s kind of bittersweet. You know, it’s life and you have to go on and have one final good party with it.” Between 250 and 300 apples were candied for Halloween
2015 and according to Jeffs’s calculations, 19,500 apples have been used during the 65 years. The recipe is a family secret, but the apples are sprinkled with coconut, and Jeffs said the family will now only make apples for special occasions. “I thought a couple of weeks back, I e-mailed (brother) Mark and said ‘65 years, what a good time to retire,’ that’s a good round number,” Jeffs said. He doesn’t rule out restarting the tradition in the future. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Two-hundred and two students are currently expressing interest in attending Cedar Community Secondary School when it re-opens in September. Nanaimo school district’s board of trustees voted to revert Cedar back to a high school in April, after it had been slated to be converted to an elementary school under a previous school district plan. Functional capacity for the school is 425 students. The school district sent a letter to potential students in the Cedar and Cinnabar Valley catchment area in September and 44 John Barsby Secondary School students selected Cedar, while 109 wanted to remain at Barsby. Seventy-seven Ladysmith Secondary students chose Cedar, while 34 wished to remain. Thir teen from Nanaimo District Secondar y School expressed interest, while 14 want to stay and one Woodlands student stated intention to attend Cedar. Thirty-nine Grade 7 students from North Cedar Intermediate and 28 from Cinnabar Valley Elementary schools were automatically added into the equation, as they are catchment schools. John Blain, district superintendent, said numbers are preliminary and could change as a

course plan is developed. Blain said Margaret Olsen, Cedar principal, will examine numbers and create basic programming. Cedar students will choose courses along with their counterparts. Blain said the first phase of course selection will end in late February. “There may be some students at that time that may make a decision – that are Cedar catchment students, but chose to go to Barsby – are changing their minds because they’re seeing their friends now signing up for Cedar. There’ll be some transition work for students in there. “So I’m predicting that there will be some students changing their minds either to attend Cedar or not, during that time period,” said Blain. Steve Rae, school board chairman, said the Cedar community has a right to have kindergarten to Grade 12, just like everybody else. Based on enrolment projection software, the school will exceed capacity over the next several years, he said. The projected Cedar school enrolment for 2016 is 358, according to school district information. “We fully expected that in the first couple of years that the enrolment may be down a little bit, but we didn’t do this for next year, we did it for the next 20 years,” said Rae. “So I’m encouraged, I have absolutely no doubt that in a short period of time, that school will be full again.” Rae said the school will open in September, even if it’s under capacity.

Bullying complaint lodged at city
I
likEly firSt time council involved in investigation.
By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN
An independent investigator is looking into a complaint of bullying and harassment at city hall, according to Mayor Bill McKay. The City of Nanaimo has hired an independent investigator to look into the behavior of city council. McKay confirmed on Friday that a probe has been launched into relations among councillors and between coun-
cil and staff after a city politician advised the city manager he or she felt bullying and harassment was happening among council members. The news comes as council works with a facilitator from The Integrity Group, hired by the mayor to help councillors get along. The new probe, ongoing since September, is being overseen by the city’s lawyer who hired the investigator. Neither the mayor nor city manager Ted Swabey will say who made the complaint and the cost is not known, although it’s expected to come out of the legal budget. It’s also a personnel issue, so the mayor said his comments
have to be limited and the results will be released in a closed meeting. “It’s unfortunate that we have to go through this process, but it’s demanded under WorkSafe B.C. regulations that the employer, that any employer, must provide a workplace that is free from bullying and harassment and there is an allegation that we have not done that,” said McKay. Swabey told the News Bulletin an independent investigator has been hired in the past to review staffing issues but this is the first time he’s aware of that council has been included.

The machine had a price tag of $85,000, with money coming from provincial literacy funding, according to Jamie Anderson, director of library services and planning. “Essentially we purchased it basically as a literacy tool,” said Anderson. “While the machine itself lives in Nanaimo, it’s really giving us an outreach opportunity. This year we’ve launched what we call a digital-

Nanaimo celebrates the receipt of one of 140 Dutch-Canadian Friendship Tulip Gardens with a planting ceremony Wednesday (Nov. 4), 1 p.m., at the Dallas Square Cenotaph on Front Street. The garden marks the 70th anniversary of the first gift of 100,000 Dutch tulip bulbs sent to Canadians in 1945 as a symbol of appreciation for the role Canadian soldiers played in the liberation of the Netherlands and the hospitality Canada provided to the Dutch Royal Family in Ottawa during the Second World War. Veterans, school children and the public are invited to attend the planting ceremony where the story of the Dutch princess born in Ottawa during the Second World War and the history of the enduring friendship bond between Canada and the Netherlands will be retold so that it may live on for future generations. Nanaimo’s garden will also be featured on the 2016 edition of Canada’s Garden Route at www. canadasgardenroute.ca

Nanaimo highway sees safety improvements Nanoose Flats is one project seeing investment from the B.C. government which is providing $5 million for 40 projects in the province. The highway will see emergency access improvements including reconstructed traffic islands and the installation of an
emergency access gate to help manage traffic during highway closures. Work on that $150,000 project will be completed late fall. South of Nanaimo, more than 400 metres of roadside safety barriers will be installed along the Island Highway in South Wellington near Thatcher Creek.
The News BulleTiN
The Vancouver Island Economic Alliance released its first report on the Island’s economy, which shows modest growth since 2012. The report, prepared by chartered accountancy and business advisory firm MNP, was delivered during the closing luncheon at the group’s annual economic summit Thursday by Susan Mowbray, senior economist with MNP’s economics and research consulting practice. Overall, most Island economic sectors have shown growth since 2012, according to the report, although some have still not recovered to pre-2008 levels. The Island is expected to experience sustained but modest economic growth into 2016 due to immigration, tourism and increasing forestry products exports to the U.S. Some of that outlook, the report said, hinges on the current low value of the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar, which makes Canadian services and products, such as lumber, attractive to U.S. markets and bolsters tourism by drawing visitors from the U.S. to the Island and encourages British Columbians to vacation at home. “The outlook is for this to continue,” Mowbray said. “A lot of things that are happening on a macro level right now are around the exchange rate affecting this economy and all plays to Vancouver Island’s

strengths, so that we’re going to see is continued modest improvements in the forest industry, continued growth in tourism, and continued population growth.” The document draws on multiple statistical sources, including Statistics Canada figures, and looks at the Island’s business environment and investment attraction, shifts in population and labour force, cost of living, tourism, aquaculture, forestry, new markets, the education sector and impacts on business and employment from international student enrolment, and the emerging high-tech industry. Employment generated from manufacturing continues to be a challenge for the Island where companies might set up their head offices, but have products produced overseas, Mowbray said.
The report notes that skilled employment growth in professional, scientific and technical service is happening mostly in Nanaimo and the Capital Region due to the presence of high-tech companies, but employment gains there have not offset jobs lost in retail and wholesale trade, public administration and support services, business and real estate, resulting in a modest but continuing decline in overall employment on the Island. The report lists health care and social assistance, and wholesale and retail trade as the Island’s leading employment sectors, followed by accommodation and food services, professional, scientific and technical services, education and public administration.

Her passion is to help others embrace life, and to reach within to find their own inner strength.
In part 3 of our discussion about visceral fat let’s talk about how it affects our body’s weight problems. The longer our body’s insulin levels are elevated the more likely a person is going to encounter excess body fat and weight problems. Insulin “communicates” with other hormones, such as the stress hormone cortisol, causing an imbalance that creates an increase in the need to eat, lowering energy levels and causing mood changes. These factors in combination with eating too many calories and excessive sugar consumption as well as affecting other hormones can lead to fat being stored as visceral fat. As we gain more and more weight our metabolism is affected, which can affect our appetites, making it easier to overeat, and harder to reduce calories. Often our bodies will crave foods such as sugary, refined, processed carbohydrates. It should also be noted that you do not have to have a visible large belly to have visceral fat. Many people who have diets high in processed foods and sugar can have this dangerous fat and may not know it. Thus they can be at risk of having health issues such as heart disease , cancer , stroke, dementia, depression and sleep disorders. At Pharmasave we are dedicated in helping you become healthier, and losing weight thru weekly coaching sessions using the Ideal Protein Method.

EDITORIAL
E-mail deletion leaves no trace Several years ago, Premier Christy Clark promised a new era of accountability. Instead, what we have is an era in which ministers and government staff alike have been in the habit of ‘tripledeleting’ e-mailed correspondence – not simply deleting e-mails from their computers, but also from their electronic trash folders and backup servers. Simply put, e-mails – untold thousands of them that should have been part of the public record – have simply ‘disappeared.’ B.C. Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham – in last week’s withering report on her investigation of Freedom of Information requests concerning the Highway of Tears case – says it is “difficult to overstate the seriousness of the problem … and the resulting effects on the integrity of the access to information process in our province.” However, what it seems to have come down to for the premier, in her account before the Legislature, is that government communications were being triple deleted because e-mails are new technology, and there is no consistent understanding among her staff on how to treat them. She followed Denham’s report with an order that all ministers and political staff must keep every e-mail they send until new procedures are in place. It is not surprising that many have trouble with Clark’s explanation. This is 2015, after all. Many of us, by now, have mastered the concept of e-mail. We might delete old correspondence. But most of us are not in government, with a responsibility to be able to produce key communications when asked. Triple deleting is the electronic equivalent of shredding documents. That it is being done on such a scale is disturbing. The premier’s explanations show more than a troubling lack of understanding for the need for public trust and confidence. They show a contempt for the intelligence of the public itself.

Twenty-five years ago, in a large Indian city, I visited with members of a social change group who would have no truck with unscientific food taboos. Their commitment to community development work was demonstrated by living together with the people they were helping with basic needs as well as skills training and general education. And periodically they would hold beef and pork dinners for their Hindu and Muslim friends. At the time, I thought it a bit cheeky. But today I understand better how they were attempting to remove sources of difference and intolerance by sitting down to eat together without disapproval. Often I find myself wishing that people who cherish particular food views would be less intolerant of others’ preferences and instead strive together to accomplish food systems that are good for people, animals, plants and general ecological balance. We might be surprised by how much we have in common in that endeavour. ◆ Marjorie Stewart is past chairwoman of the Nanaimo Foodshare Society. marjorieandalstewart@shaw.ca.

All those election signs are just litter after the vote To the Editor,
Since all parties in this last election paid lip service to the environment, I would like to know why all parties in the Nanaimo-Ladysmith rid-

a cumulative amount of approximately $200,000 on signs, wood, etc. Where does all this material go after an election? Maybe recycled, however, most likely in
our landfill. Is it time for all of our ‘environmentally friendly’ parties to decide to limit signage to no more than four or five locations? Or is it time for a

Re: City manager resigns post, Oct. 27. Having reported on Nanaimo city hall for a number of years for the News Bulletin, I can only shake my head at the evolving political three-ring circus now on a public stage for the world to see. Taxpayers on the hook for thousands of dollars because elected officials are at odds with each other and need a lesson on how to put personal feelings aside and get on with the job voters put them on city council for – running the city. As well, thousands of more dollars have been wasted by councillors on the ongoing sagas of Colliery Dam Park and a core review. Now, senior city staff managers are resigning at an alarming rate at a time when taxpayers likely need them, and their years of experience, the most. The toxic environment that is city council has driven quality staff personnel, beginning with former city managers Jerry Berry and Al Kenning, into the arms of other municipalities or retirement. Anyone can only be pushed so far before saying enough is enough. Coun. Gord Fuller calls it an opportunity for “changes in the way things are

done at the city.” What it will do is leave Nanaimo with rookie managers at the helm of city staff. Novices who are going to need some time to get up to speed on the comings and goings of city business. Nanaimo appears to be at a crossroad in terms of its future. There is something to be said about having experienced city staff on board to help guide the process.

Re: City manager resigns post, Oct. 27. A new beginning at city hall, but will those involved seize the opportunity? Only if those engaged in the battle on both sides stop blaming, take responsibility and show positive intent to create a better working environment. Above all, it will require the mayor, who is leader, to support this transition. Making public statements that continue the battle helps no one, least of all

An order will soon be placed for the city’s first automated garbage trucks. Nanaimo city council agreed to automate garbage pick up for a third of the Harbour City to the tune of an estimated $2.3 million. The decision is a change in direction for councillors who originally agreed to buy two manually operated but “automation-ready” vehicles earlier this year. It’s also not the $6.8-million strategy for automation pitched by city staff members in April. Council was asked Oct. 26 to approve a phased three-year, $6.8-million plan to help address a collection system taxed by staff injuries and mechanical problems. It would see the city commit to purchasing 90,000 wheeled bins and eight automated trucks, which would allow for bulk purchasing and consistent user rates across the city. Recycling would also be brought in house. Council scrapped those recommendations in a 5-4 vote, choosing to purchase two automated trucks and 30,000 wheeled bins. In-house recycling will also cover
just a third of city households. It’s not yet known what that means for user rates or when the rest of Nanaimo will be included in the automated system. Councillors Ian Thorpe and Wendy Pratt favoured the original strategy pitched by city staff. Thorpe said it will save money in the long term and reduce or eliminate workplace injuries. He did not see the point in phasing in two automated vehicles at a time, with a business plan that shows it makes sense to do it now and take advantage of bulk buying and a CNG rebate. Pratt said the original plan was well-thought-out to keep employees safe and protect the taxpayer and the budget. She is “shocked” council turned it down. However, other councillors took issue with the expense of eight trucks and preferred starting off with a commitment of just two. Coun. Jerry Hong said he has no problem with taking a look at the plan continuing next year if there’s success and still believes the city is moving forward. Coun. Jim Kipp said council is actually speeding up the process and is farther ahead than where it was, when it approved automation-ready vehicles in June. The process to purchase trucks is expected to begin immediately.

Petition calls for saving of water clock By Tamara Cunningham The News BulleTiN
A new petition is raising the alarm on the potential removal o f Wo o d g r o v e ’ s 34-year-old water clock. Ivanhoe Cambridge, owner of Nanaimo’s Woodgrove Shopping Centre, announced a $17-million renovation to the northend mall, which will include the space surrounding its 6.3-metre water clock. A petition, launched last week on Change. org, claims the clock, an “iconic piece of Nanaimo’s history,” will be removed as part of renovations and calls for it to be saved. It’s collected close to 1,300 signatures. Julia Dow, general manager of the mall, said the water clock’s location will be part of the renovation and in the beginning, the vision for that space was an open concept, which is modern and can host community events. Design options are being looked at and it’s too early to speculate what’s being considered in regards to the clock, according to Dow, who said once 1.

He’d like to see it left in its original spot, or given to the City of Nanaimo. “It’s private property obviously – we can’t just force someone to not renovate their building when all the bylaws are in order,” he said. “But certainly it has ... a strong emotional connection to a lot of people who grew up in Nanaimo, lived in Nanaimo, moved to Nanaimo and people who are not even from Nanaimo.”

Dancers from Sinha Danse meld their different cultural and movement styles during the Sunya performance at the Port Theatre Friday (Nov. 6). PHOTO CONTRIBUTED
“
Poetic dance Sunya performance a cultural conversation
It’s important for the Canadian public to see art that can be expressed through different cultures.
BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN
E
ach movement is a word, a phrase, a poem, strung together by the rhythms of the body. The dancers flow together sharing a cultural conversation. The discourse sweeps across their flesh, tethered to their own freedom of expression, experiences and heritage. The discussion is the vision of Sinha Danse’s artistic director Roger Sinha. He melds his cultural heritage into the movements, creating his own language. He was born in London, his mother was Armenian and father was Indian. When he was eight, his family moved to Saskatoon. “When I moved to Saskatchewan, I experience racism,” said Sinha. A few years later his family moved to Toronto and it was there Sinha began to delve into his cultural heritage. This decision Sinha calls his “zero point.” It was the moment when he started anew. There is a feeling of immigration throughout his piece, Sunya, which shows at the Port Theatre Friday (Nov. 6). The piece explores the experiences of coming from different cultures and how people change when they are exposed to different cultures, said Sinha. “It’s important for the Canadian public to see Says… art that can be Simon expressed through different culGet your tures,” he said. He said many immigrants, such order in now as the Syrian refugees coming to

Canada, are experiencing a zero hour in their life. “There are zero hours now because they have to live a new life,” he explained. “There are points in this piece that reflect this kind of discord and confrontation with the migrating experience, but we can come through it.” Sinha works with the natural cultural movements of his dancers, blending them with his own to expand the conversation. For example, he works with dancer Ghislaine Dote, who won’t be performing during the Nanaimo show due to an injury, to incorporate her African dance movements. It’s not about copying a style, but allowing each dancer freedom of expression while melding the differences into a cohesive motion. “We are way beyond the era where we try to mold the dancers in terms of technique and style,” said Sinha. “They all have my style but they keep their own identity. Their own personality comes into the work.” He said the only requirement for working with him is people need to adapt to his high energy. Sunya shows at the Port Theatre Friday, 7:30 p.m. The performance is presented by Crimson Coast Dance. Until June 21st Only! Tickets are $35, $30 if purchased in groups of four or more.

Artist creates whimsical, quirky pieces
I
NANAIMO ART Gallery features assemblage exhibit. By RACHEL STERN THE NEwS BULLETIN
Something as ordinary as a bingo card can become a central focal point in a work of art with the right vision and creativity. With a splash of vivid paint hues and accentuations, an assemblage art piece is born. For Nanaimo artist Grant Leier, creating assemblage art is an exciting process that allows him to tell a story with the combined pieces in the frame. “When you take ordinary objects and incorporate them into assemblage art, it elevates them and make them very special,” said Leier. “A lot of pieces are whimsical and charming... Sometimes assemblage art makes the pieces become narrative.” The objects on their own are just ordinary and “nothing to write home about,” Leier explained.
Photo contributed
Grant Leier takes ordinary objects and incorporates him into his art. He loves vivid colours and is fascinated with patterns and decoration. His work is on display at the Nanaimo Art Gallery from Friday to Sunday (Nov. 6-8).
Leier has been a painter for decades. In 1978, he graduated from the Alberta College of Art and then went to New York to further hone his skills at an illustrator’s workshop, which led him to his fascination with
pattern and decoration. “I’ve always liked objects and images in repetition,” said Leier. “I was intrigued by the enhanced quality of it.” Leier’s assemblage art is part of the Nanaimo Art Gallery’s Art
Workshop examines Persian musical concepts Musicians and singers can learn Persian musical concepts during an upcoming workshop. Kiya Tabassian, co-founder of the Constantinople Ensemble, leads a workshop for musicians and singers on Saturday (Nov. 7). Tabassian is offering the workshop while
visiting Nanaimo for the Sunya, Sinha Dance and Constantinople performance at the Port Theatre Friday (Nov. 6). Tabassian will explore musical improvisation in nonWestern traditions, with a focus on Persian musics. Objectives include gaining an understanding

of Perisan musical concepts, developing improvisation abilities in modul music, learning how to hear and play microtones and developing inner musical creativity. Tabassian was born in Iran and emigrated to Canada with his family when he was 14. He had a background in ancient Persian music, which taught himself while growing up in Quebec. He studied com-
position at Conservatoire de Musique de Montréal. In 1988 he co-founded the Constinople Ensemble with his brother Ziya. Tabassian has performed throughout the world. The three-hour workshop starts at 11 a.m. The event is at the Living Room Studio, located at 210 St. George St. The workshop is $30. Pre-registration is required by going to www.crimson coastdance.org.
Lab Pop-Up Show, which also features the work of Nixie Barton. The exhibit is open Friday to Sunday (Nov. 6-8). “I think people are excited about this show because it is so out and out fun … some images
are darker; not all of them have a carnival feel. That is one thing that is exciting is they are all very quirky,” said Leier. Leier said he takes special trips to Vancouver with Barton to find specialty pieces from different cultures. They visit Chinatown and frequent East Indian shops. They both also visit thrift shops to find objects. Before the exhibit, Leier and Barton are leading a two-day assemblage workshop in the art lab. Leier said the people who have signed up for the workshop are all practising artists who want to explore the assembly aspect of their work. The art lab will focus on mixed media and adding objects. The art lab is a newly dedicated education space at the gallery. The Art Gallery exhibit will also include work created by the artists in the two-day workshop. The opening reception is Friday from 7-9 p.m. Regular exhibition hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, please go to www.nanaimoartgallery. com.

VIU basketball teams win big
Clips split set against rival ’Dogs

MEN, WOMEN both defeat Camosun by blowout scores. BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN
The VIU Mariners were big winners in their first home games of the season. Vancouver Island University’s men’s and women’s basketball teams both won their first regular-season games against the Camosun Chargers by blowout scores on Friday night at the VIU gym. The M’s men were 87-59 winners, while the VIU ladies won 80-44. Despite the lopsided result, the Mariners men felt like they didn’t bring their best to the first game of the Pacific Western Athletic Association season. “We know what we’re capable of and we didn’t feel like we executed,” said John Thompson, VIU point guard. “It’s the beginning and it’s a win. We’re going to walk away with it and be happy.” Thompson said his team was scrambly at times in the first half and tried for better effort in the second half. “At halftime [Coach Matt Kuzminski] kind of laid it on us and refocused us and we
A division of
came back out and did what we had to do,” Thompson said. The point guard led his team with 22 points, while Josh Ross added 16 points and 16 rebounds. Chris Parker also scored 16. The women’s game was only close for one quarter, as the Mariners blew the game open by outscoring the Chargers 31-8 in the second quarter. “We executed our offence pretty well,” said Emily Clarke, VIU swing guard. “We all penetrated really well and that opened up the threepoint line a lot … There were so many open looks.” She knocked down 8-of-10 from behind the arc to lead all scorers with 27 points. Sienna Pollard added 13 points and 10 rebounds and Lanae Adams also scored 13. The result is a good start and something to build on, Clarke said. “We’ll put that game behind us and always focus on the next game and getting better each day,” she said. ‘We’ve got a long season ahead, but if we keep having the next-game mentality, we should do well.” GAME ON … The Mariners basketball teams head to the mainland next weekend (Nov. 6-7) to take on the Douglas Royals and Capilano Blues. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

The Nanaimo Clippers got haunted by the Alberni Valley Bulldogs on Halloween. The Clips had a chance to sweep their week, but had to settle for two wins and a loss after falling 4-2 to the Alberni Valley Bulldogs on Saturday at Por t Alberni. Nanaimo had defeated the Victoria Grizzlies 5-4 on Wednesday and shut out the Bulldogs 3-0 on Friday at Frank Crane Arena. In Saturday’s setback, Matthew Hoover and Sean Buchanan scored for Nanaimo. The Clips were down by a goal going into the third period but the’Dogs struck early in the frame and held on. Evan Johnson made 29 saves in defeat for the Shipmen. The night before it was Jonathan Reinhart tending goal and earning the shutout with 33 saves. Nanaimo scored three first-period goals, one from Chris Dodero and then two from Sheldon Rempal.

Nanaimo Clippers forward Devin Brosseau, middle, is checked by Victoria Grizzlies opponent Brett Stirling during Wednesday’s B.C. Hockey League game at Frank Crane Arena. The Clips came back in the last minute to win 5-4.
Last-second win highlights Clippers’ week From /22
The week’s best game was the Wednesday-night tilt, as the Clips scored two goals in the last 35 seconds to come back and beat the Grizzlies. “A little bit of a circus finish,” said Mike Vandekamp, Clippers coach. “We pulled it out of the hat, so to speak.” Nanaimo never led the game until the very end, tying
the score four times before Zach Court’s game-winner with 1.2 seconds left. He got in behind the Grizzlies’ defence in the dying seconds, got hooked to the ice and while on his knees, managed to elevate the puck into the net. “It’s good to know that even if we are down by a goal with two minutes left in the game, we can come back and win it in regulation, which

not a lot of teams can do,” Court said. Charley Borek, Lucas Finner, Rempal and Devin Brosseau scored Nanaimo’s other goals and Johnson was the winning goalie. GAME ON … The Clippers head off on the road this coming weekend (Nov. 6-8) to play the Trail Smoke Eaters, Penticton Vees and West Kelowna Warriors. sports@nanaimobulletin.com
Vancouver Island University’s women’s soccer team was runner-up at provincials. The Mariners ladies lost 2-0 to the Douglas Royals on Saturday in Burnaby at the Pacific Western Athletic Association championships. VIU had shut out the Quest Kermodes 1-0 the day before to reach the final. Maddy
Dawson scored for the M’s and Emily Rowbotham earned the shutout. Rowbotham was named the tourney’s Top Goalkeeper and Samantha Rodgers was chosen Top Defender. VIU’s men were fourth, losing 4-3 to Douglas in the bronze-medal match and 2-1 against Capilano in the semifinals.
