Deal reached to buy Wildwood Ecoforest

NON-PROFIT UPS offer to $900,000 for property. BY KARL YU THE NEWS BULLETIN
Pilot project shows success for rental subsidy BY TAMARA CUNNINGHAM THE NEWS BULLETIN
People struggling with chronic homelessness will be given a chance to rent under a formal Housing First strategy. The City of Nanaimo foot the bill for the past three years for a rent supplement pilot program, administered by the Nanaimo Region John Howard Society. Now it’s contributing $45,000 to a more formal Housing First
strategy. It’s part of a city initiative to house the homeless and has seen success, according to John Horn, the city’s social planner, who said most tenants have been able to stay in apartments, and in some cases have withdrawn from the program to manage the unit on their own. The idea, just like the city’s supportive housing complexes, is to provide stable housing for those who have previously struggled with homelessness so
they can address other issues like mental health and addiction. They are provided with outreach support and live in market housing, like townhouses and apartments. Tenants chip in $375 from their income assistance cheques and the city tops up the rent, tallying about $200 monthly for each unit. Six apartments have been supported to date. See ‘COUNCIL’ /4

A deal has been reached that could see ownership of Wildwood Ecoforest in Cedar transferred from the Land Conservancy of B.C. to the Ecoforestry Institute Society. The non-profit conservancy holds the 31-hectare forested site in trust, but wants to sell due to multimillion-dollar debt. The society has eyed the property since fall 2013, and recently upped its offer to $900,000 from $600,000, said Kathy Code, society spokeswoman. The deal will need B.C. Supreme Court approval. In addition, an ecoforestry management plan must be approved by Herb Hammond, an ecoforester and impartial third party, according to Code, in order to make certain Wildwood continues to adhere to principles of Merve Wilkinson, former owner and sustainable logging pioneer. The plan will detail how the society will manage the forest. Wilkinson did it on a five-year basis and Code said it’s done through selective logging. “Our ecoforesters will go through the [31 hectares], they’ll identify those trees
then, looking at soil conditions, the light, the density, the other species that are around those trees, they’ll decide which ones can come out then to make room for new growth, or depending on other conditions in the forest, which ones they can afford to harvest without destroying the integrity of the rest of the forest,” said Code. Cathy Armstrong, land conservancy acting director of operations, said her group is happy Wildwood will remain in a non-profit’s hands. “Obviously this is a group that have looked after the property for us from the beginning, so it’s a known entity, it’s a non-profit entity that showed willingness to work with us to develop the covenant and management plan and that’s been the sticking point and why it took a little bit longer to get to a final resolution,” Armstrong said. Code said the $900,000 is from private donations – $110,000 will go toward conservancy creditor debt forgiveness, while the remaining $790,000 is in direct money. The deal calls for the land transfer to be completed by Dec. 11. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

VIU HoSTS student from international scholarship fund. By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN
The first Syrian refugee student will attend Vancouver @ 5.83�w 6�h Island X University in 2016. The announcement was made Friday, amidst celebrations for World VIU Days annual multicultural festival, as one component of the university’s response to the Syrian refugee crisis. Money to support a Syrian student will come from the VIU International Refugee Scholarship Fund, initiated by the university’s staff and
students, which has received an initial contribution of $10,000 from the VIU Faculty Association and will have ongoing donations to the fund matched at 50 cents on the dollar by the university. “The International Refugee Support Fund, in particular, AFD is an important initiative and we appreciate your support as we increase that fund and use it for such a good purpose,� said David Witty, VIU vice-president, academic, during the announcement. Goals of the fund include financing and supporting a Syrian refugee through VIU’s local committee of the World University Service of Canada and its Student Refugee Program and providing money to scholarships for university5.83�
age children of sponsored refugees. “So now with the Syrian refugee crisis, never since [the Second World War] have so many people been forcibly displaced from their homes,� said Jessyca Idi, World University Service of Canada committee member. “There is an urgency to take action. The need is immense, but we can make a difference. By sponsoring a single refugee we are saving a life.� VIU will also join and support the Scholars at Risk Program, which helps academics forced to flee violence or persecution in their homelands and provides opportunities for them to study and teach at universities abroad.

Council supports rental program

Nanaimo city council has agreed to support another six units over two years to the tune of $45,000. It will also seek dollars from B.C. Housing. John McCormick, executive director of the John Howard Society, said the pilot was a modified Housing First program and has helped people to stay healthy. With a formal Housing First strategy, his society will be applying that experience to people who might be considered more difficult to house. “[Funding] allows us as the agency that’s moving this program forward to house a targeted 10 people by March 31, 2016,” he said. The agency has already begun to collect referrals.

Inbrief city scene
Flu vaccines now available Nanaimo residents can get a shot in the arm with two flu vaccine clinics open this week. The flu shot is free for certain groups, including seniors over the age of 65, pregnant women, aboriginal people and children under five. An estimated one in three Vancouver Islanders were vaccinated from the flu last year, according to Dr. Paul Hasselback, who calls the number “really good.” “If we look at what would be ideal, well, some people would say we should provide it to everybody, but we’re kind of planning for that 33 to 35 per cent of the population receiving the vaccine and we do see increases in most years,” he said. Hasselback said the vaccine has improved significantly since last year, when the vaccine did not recognize the circulating influenza strain, H3N2. This year it covers B strains, H1N1 and H3N2. Vaccines are recommended for vulnerable groups, like those with chronic health conditions and seniors, where the flu can lead to complications like pneumonia and dehydration. There have been no influenza outbreaks to date on Vancouver Island. Flu clinics happen today (Nov. 12) at the Moose Hall from 911:30 a.m. and Friday (Nov. 13) at Nanaimo Aquatic Centre, from 1-3 p.m. For more information, please visit www.viha.ca/flu.

added that those types of angels are important because they often provide cash donations or gift certificates, which can be used to help families facing a lastminute crisis. “It is really important that we have those [corporate angels] ... because we do get last-minute families in need and there is no time to get an actual angel to do the shopping,” she said. Innamorati said people who want to be angels are not expected to buy gifts for an entire family and can donate as much or as little as they can. “Ever y little bit helps,” she said. “If they just want to help one child then we will get a bunch of angels to take care of the family.” The Christmas Angels program runs until Dec. 24.

EquiPMENT AND training provided through foundation. By Chris Bush The News bulleTiN
Last week, students at Dover Bay Secondary School demonstrated how to revive someone who has gone into cardiac arrest. The demonstration was part of a kickoff and donation presentation ceremony at the school Friday morning to launch the Advanced Coronary Treatment Foundation High School CPR and Defibrillator Program in Nanaimo, which will train 1,100 students in cardio pulmonary resuscitation and defibrillation techniques annually in the school district’s six secondary schools. As part of the program, each school will receive CPR training dummies, automatic
external defibrillator training devices, and fully functional units to potentially save a life should a cardiac emergency occur. Representatives from the Royal Bank of Canada’s Nanaimo branches were on hand to present a $20,000 donation to pay for the program locally. The ultimate goal is to have 700 units in schools across B.C. An automated external defibrillator already proved its worth locally when a 34-yearold man was resuscitated after going into cardiac arrest at Frank Crane Arena in 2014. “The goal is that [CPR training] reaches all students before graduation,” said Jennifer Edwards, ACT Foundation operations manager. “Every student who goes into Planning 10 will receive the course for free.” Friday was the first day of training for Grade 10 students Makayla Egan and Brianne Davies who are in Dover Bay’s
Planning 10 program. About 200 Planning 10 students will be trained annually. Both girls said they have never had to deal with a real-life medical emergency. “I just kind of feel better having that in the school,” Egan said. “It kind of creates a security thing.” Some of that confidence is derived from the defibrillator’s instructions, recited verbally, to guide users through the resuscitation procedure. “I feel more confident, like if the situation was to happen that I would be able to help the person out,” Davies said. “The device is really easy to use and it helps you out.” The ACT Foundation is a non-profit charitable organization establishing free CPR and defibrillator programs across Canada and has so far set up ACT High School CPR Programs in 226 public secondary schools across B.C. and trained 281,000 students. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

Lions Club program screens children for eye problems By Chris Bush The News bulleTiN
Vision problems left undetected and untreated can seriously affect a child’s development and academic performance. To make sure vision problems are detected in children early on, the Hub City Lions Club is raising cash to help buy four Spot Vision Screener units that will be used to test the vision of children in schools throughout the central Island region. The effort to purchase the units and conduct screenings is a partnership between Lions central Island districts and Welch Allyn, a U.S. medical diagnos-
tics equipment manufacturer, which has provided a grant to keep down costs. The portable, hand-held devices can scan the eyes of children six months or older for nearsightedness, farsightedness, blurred vision, unequal refractive power, and eye misalignment, and give readouts on the severity of the conditions in seconds. Lions clubs from across the central Island and Comox Valley regions have so far committed to raise $20,000 toward purchasing the screeners. “We’re doing this as a district project,” said Peter Thomas, Hub City Lions Club secretary. “To start off with it will be with the schools.”
Thomas said the Lions have already contributed $3,000 toward buying the devices which cost $7,620 each. The goal is to have the vision screeners operating in schools before the end of 2015. Hub City Lions is currently accepting donations toward the project and will sell reflective house numbers to raise more money for program at Canadian Tire in Nanaimo North Town Centre Saturday (Nov. 14) 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Donations can also be mailed in to Hub City Lions, in care of Peter Thomas, P.O.

EDITORIAL
City just needs a simple plan Maybe a strategic plan will be just what this city council needs. In the coming weeks, Nanaimo councillors will sit down and try to agree on an official strategic plan that can then guide decision-making such as budgeting. The strategic plan itself, really, has more symbolic than actual value, as it will be carefully worded in the most general of terms. One of the items in the last plan, for example, was “taking responsibility to be an excellent municipal government.” But maybe the strategic plan’s beauty lies in its simplicity. It’s up for debate whether this council has been excellent, but surely councillors can come to unanimous agreement that excellence is a good and worthy goal. The challenge of a strategic plan is that each councillor, individually, has – and should have – his or her own views on priorities for the City of Nanaimo. Councillors made various promises to voters leading up to last fall’s municipal election. One councillor’s priorities might not align with another’s, and there’s nothing wrong with that in a democracy. With that in mind, a strategic plan might identify some priorities that are shared among all councillors, and therefore, are quite likely in the best interests of Nanaimo. A strategic plan can provide a sense of what’s achievable, and small victories, cooperative ones, will be appreciated when council’s workings get inevitably gummed up by stickier situations. Probably it shouldn’t have taken a year to come up with a strategic plan. Perhaps, moving forward, planning should be accepted practice for any incoming council, a simple project that councillors can get started on right away with limited friction as they work their way up to more divisive issues. Of course things won’t always go according to plan, and when that happens, well, there just so happens to be a contingency plan: be excellent.

Its revenue went from $7 million to $10 million once the government finally ended the practice of skimming some off for the general treasury. The society spends most of its budget restocking lakes with trout and promoting responsible angling, but its new 30-year service contract also calls on it to contribute to enforcement. This is the first year that has happened, and Polak said the extra fishing violation tickets indicate it is working. The CO service also works on cases such as the Mount Polley mine breach. It has a commercial environmental enforcement unit, a special investigations unit to deal with smuggling and organized crime, and an intelligence analyst. In short, they’re real cops, working with a group of about 150 compliance officers at the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. They don’t get much respect from an urban public informed by celebrity wildlife protesters such as Pamela Anderson, Miley Cyrus and Ricky Gervais. ◆ Tom Fletcher is columnist and legislature reporter for Black Press.

French immersion belongs at NDSS To the Editor,
Re: Program protest, Nov. 5. It is quite inspiring to see young people taking a public stand about their education. The move of the wellfunctioning French program offered at Nanaimo District Secondary School since 1988, which could happen as early as September 2016, will directly and immediately affect over 400 Francophone and French immersion students, specifically, 330 Grade 8-11 students and 135 Grade 7 students, or 465 students. The much longer commutes that students will face as a result of the move as well as the uncertainties triggered by the uproot-

ing of the French program will cause many students and parents to reconsider staying in the program.
It was a sad day when I was asked (albeit politely) to leave a popular Nanaimo mall because I was wearing a festive Halloween costume, one that took months to make from scratch. I was dressed as a skeleton in a coffin, so yes the costume did cover my face, my whole body in fact. The security guard was only doing her job, and so my beef is not with her, she said there had been robberies in the past and so covering one’s face was deemed a security risk. But I ask how would it have been possible to rob a store and make a ‘getaway,’ if that had been my intention, while dressed as a skeleton festively entombed inside a cardboard coffin? Really? Freedom of expression in this case did not apply.

Re: Mayor talks trade during trip to China, Oct. 29. There seems to be no rhyme, reason nor continuous decision-making philosophy being followed at city hall. Council voted to throw away transparency, again, by going behind closed doors to discuss the mayor’s China trip. It was not an employment matter. It was not selecting a bidder for a city contract. It’s simply sending the mayor off with tax money. And those discussions should have taken place in front of the taxpayers who’ll be footing the bill. Couple this with Coun. Wendy Pratt saying she’s “devastated” with the departures
of two top city managers. But many people believe a fresh start in the management of the city is long overdue. And many taxpayers believe council should be looking for a city manager who has no ties whatsoever to the way things keep getting done, or not, here. But council needs to get its house in order too, and research things beforehand. Know what it’s voting on. Make thorough, and more so, consistent decisions. Council and senior staff need to consistently start watching the spending of our tax dollars. And they could have started impressing us with keeping the mayor at home.

Many will decide to leave the French program, which will then decrease the federal funds (over $200,000 per year) awarded to the Nanaimo school district for French education. As the protesting NDSS students and the parents and presenters who have participated in the public consultation have made clear, moving the program will result in considerable personal, cultural and financial costs for students, parents and the school district. Last but not least, it is still unclear what the affected students and their parents are to gain from such a move.

Drumming up memories Dan Brubeck pays homage to his parents’ relationship in latest album BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN

yrics add another dimension to an instrumental piece of music. It creates an emotional connection. Listening to songs without the words has a purity and simplicity that resonates inside the body, but add the lyrics and it vibrates in the heart. “You are hearing another dimension of it. It actually changes the song. Even though it’s the same song, it brings it into another light,” said Dan Brubeck. It’s something Brubeck, son of the legendary jazz icon Dave Brubeck, discovered while creating his latest album, The Dan Brubeck Quartet Live from the Cellar. It pays homage to the life and music of his parents Dave and Iola. Their partnership lasted more than 70 years. “The way these tunes were meant to

be played it’s a whole different dimension. When I was first doing it, it was emotionally difficult. My mom had just passed away.” As a child he didn’t realize the extent of his father’s fame. “I remember hearing him writing songs and thinking things through on the piano
and it would drift down to my bedroom,” said Brubeck. His parents met during a dance. Brubeck’s father asked his friends who was the smartest girl in school because he “didn’t want to be bored to tears,” said Brubeck. His friends pointed out Iola and they went together.
“They talked and never danced. They talked until morning and decided to get married that night,” said Brubeck. Iola worked as Dave’s manager. “Everyone knows about my dad but not everyone knows what a huge role my mom played in his success,” said Brubeck. She got the band to play colleges and approached the campus music stations to broadcast the concert. It led to the quartet gaining a following. The quartet performs at Simon Holt on Friday (Nov. 13) at 8 p.m. The show features Adam Thomas on vocals and bass, Tony Foster on piano, Steve Kaldestad on saxophone and Brubeck on the drums. Tickets are $30 available by calling 250-933-3338 or at the restaurant. It is a benefit concert for the Nanaimo Conservatory of Music’s Youth Choir. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

DAn MAngAn performs intimate concert in Nanaimo. By RACHEL STERN The News BulleTiN
Becoming a father has changed how singersongwriter Dan Mangan approached his latest album. In his album, Club Meds, he wanted to address issues affecting the world. It made him think about what kind of world his child would grow up in. “It talks a lot about sedation,” he said. People have the ability to be “hyper connected to people”
around them in the world or to “put their head in the sand,” said Mangan. He discusses how the pendulum swings between apathy and over-connecting with people. And a balance between the two is an ideal road people should travel in life. Mangan spent a long time writing the lyrics and melodies. He got together with the band in the studio for 10 days in Vancouver and then spent another six weeks in him home studio adding to the tracks. “It’s a very meticulous record,” he said. “It was really a labour of love. I put my head in the sand in terms of this record for three months.” Mangan performs at the
Port Theatre Wednesday (Nov. 18) at 7:30 p.m. The performance is a more intimate experience as Mangan will be performing without most of the Blacksmith band, only Gord Grdina is joining him on stage. “Lyrics become more audible,” said Mangan about the duo performance. “It’s a little bit of a contemplative experience,” he said. He said during concerts where the band was absent, it allowed him to feel as if there was “no wall between the audience and the performer.” Tickets are $29.50 and available by calling 250-754-8550 or online at www.porttheatre. com.

There is something about hearing a story without props or images that engages people and holds their attention. Members of the Around Town Tellers have seen this for the past eight years as their storyteller events have continued to attract more people every year. The sessions now draw about 60 to 70 attendees of all ages. “This is really engaging, intimate storytelling. It goes back to the roots of storytelling,” said Rachel Muller, program coordinator for the Around Town Tellers. “People are being told a story directly with no paper between them.” The group held its first concert in January 2007, at the Coyote Café, but outgrew the location and now holds a story event every second Friday of the month at the Unitarian Fellowship of Nanaimo. On Friday (Nov. 13) the Town Tellers present Heroes. The event features a broad range of stories on the subject to accommodate a variety of storytellers. Th event also includes guest musician Eric Harper. “We have a mix of traditional and personal stories,” said Muller. “The emphasis is on oral storytelling and we have one musician.” The performance features host Lee Porteous. Mary Gavan
p re s e n t s S t r a n g e Heroes, Catherine Samson, Sir Percival and the Holy Grail, Rob Terstall The Liberation of Holland and Cindy Shantz presents Hero. The tellers set the program in advance so people interested in presenting should
contact the group early to join. “We are always looking for new tellers,” said Muller. She said the event is popular so people should arrive early to get a good seat. On Dec. 11 the Around Town Tellers are presenting its

It’s been 70 years since the end of the Second World War. Those who lived through those dark days are dwindling in number. But for the children of the Nanaimo Youth Choir, music has a special power to make the emotion of Remembrance Day deeply felt and its significance honoured and appreciated. They’ve noticed that people are often too busy to pay attention or take time to observe the minute of silence at 11 a.m. “I don’t think people think that much about Remembrance Day. If you go to the ceremony during the minute of silence you’ll hear people talking,” said Maria Clemotte, 15. “When we sing, people can think about it and what it means. It creates

Volvo blasts from the past
OF N FER OV E 30 ND TH S
Swedish automaker Volvo celebrated 60 years in North America with a special gathering of celebrities and vintage cars at Paramount Pictures Studios in Hollywood. Comedian and vintage Volvo owner Jay Leno entertained a crowd of more than 300 Volvo owners, executives, retailers, and media amongst an unprecedented collection of new and historic Volvo cars, live music, and Scandinavian fare. Notable cars on display included a 1928 PV4, Volvo’s first covered car; a 1955 PV444, the first Volvo exported to the U.S.; the 1967 P1800S driven by Roger Moore in the hit sixties’ television series, The Saint; and the all-new, award-winning XC90 sport utility vehicle. Guests explored Volvo’s past and future by visiting a series of Volvo branded shops created in the facades on Paramount’s City Streets back lot. In the Volvo Cars Art Gallery, for example, was a collection of Julius Shulman-inspired photos starring Volvos past and present taken recently by Ann Street Studios at iconic locations around Los

Shulman was an American architectural photographer whose work spread California midcentury modern around the world. Guests perused the collection of vintage Volvo advertisements in the Volvo Cars History Museum, and in the Bowers & Wilkins Listening Room, audiophiles appreciated the high technology powering the 19-speaker, 1,400-watt entertainment system available in the allnew XC90 sport utility. “Volvo has had a special place in many Americans’ hearts for generations,” said Lex Kerssemakers, president and CEO, Volvo

Volvo Cars is benefitting from a recent investment of $11billion that is being used to develop an entirely new lineup of luxury vehicles. The company has experienced nine months of consecutive year-overyear growth and is aiming to increase sales.

By Ian Harwood If you leave your vehicle with your tools or valuables in it for just a moment and you might as well advertise free equipment for the taking. At job sites, fences have to be erected to keep people out and many end up hiring security guards so crooks can’t get at the valuable building products at night. Despite the level of awareness for the need for tighter security at building sites, too often it doesn’t extend to the vehicles used to transport the valuable equipment and materials. I have seen trucks and vans with upwards of $50,000 worth of equipment lying on the floor without any real security. People that drive open bed pickup trucks have a real challenge when it comes to security. You can buy a canopy and secure it that way, but sometimes you need to carry large and unusual shape objects and the rear gate of most canopies are not designed to be left open while driving. There are a few ways you can solve this problem. One way is to install a permanent toolbox that mounts to the rails of your truck box, and has either two lids or one large lid that opens from either side.

FERGUSON, Margaret Evelyn 1927 - 2015 Margaret was born on April 13, 1927, in North Hatley, Quebec, and passed away peacefully at home on September 24, 2015. Her beloved husband Alex predeceased her. Margaret is survived by her children Dean (AnnChristin) of London, U.K., Donald of Nanaimo, and Janet (Rudy) Vogt of Toronto, and her grandson Alexander Vogt. Margaret met Alex, who was born in Ladysmith, in 1957 and they were married in Glasgow, Scotland that year. They settled in Lantzville in 1958 and remained in the greater Nanaimo area thereafter. Margaret will be remembered for her tireless work on behalf of the Clay Tree Society for People with Developmental Disabilities and the Canadian Cancer Society. Â She was a dedicated mother and took pride in the accomplishments of her family. Â She will be deeply missed by her family and friends. A private burial was held with immediate family attending. A memorial service will be announced in the New Year. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Margaretâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory to the Clay Tree Society for People with Developmental Disabilities or the Canadian Cancer Society.

Thanks from the Grade 1 and Grade 4/5 students from Seaview Elementary. BEEF To the women who stole a tiger eye stone necklace at my garage sale. It was only $10.

Condolences to the owners of the little cat with the collar. I am deeply sorry. BEEF To the beefer about a pizza delivery person with a loud muffler. With police, ambulance and fire sirens and beefed-up motorcycles in Harewood 24/7, the noise level is constant. This is a job with which this person might be supporting his or her family. BOUQUET To Dr. Bob and his angelic staff at Community Dental. They provide muchneeded valuable dental service to all. BEEF To the tractor driver. It was my first and last visit to your business.

BEEF To the City of Nanaimo for wasting taxpayer dollars by unnecessarily painting bright yellow lines all over a quiet residential cul-de-sac with no parking or traffic issues.

They need to get their facts straight. BOUQUET To Heather Rowland of ReMax. The house we bought wasn’t cleaned before the previous owners left. Not only did she hire someone to clean for several hours, she paid for the cost and left us an incredible gift basket. BOUQUET To Colleen Carlson for creating Spring Hair Lounge.

Barsby kicks off playoffs
Derby dudes
BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
Roller derby isn’t just for women, as Team Canada men can attest BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
Derby doesn’t discriminate anymore. Roller derby used to be just for women, but there are increasing opportunities for men to get out on the track, too. It’s noticeable in Nanaimo, where two members of the Harbour City Rollers – Dan (Dan-O-Mite) Zimmer and Kris (Gingerdeadman) Bennett were named last month to Canada’s 2016 men’s world cup team. “It’s kind of a role reversal between the way a lot of sports work,” said Bennett. “It was built mainly as a women’s sport and men quickly realized that it’s a hell of a lot of fun.” He got involved in roller derby a few years ago in Red Deer, Alta. “As I was getting older, playing hockey was kind of losing its shine,” he said. “Especially in Alberta, it was just turning into which redneck has the most testosterone.” So he tagged along to his wife’s co-ed roller derby practice, donning his rollerblades. “I got taunted into buying some quad skates and it pretty well went from there,” he said. Zimmer started much the same way, as an ex-girlfriend’s enthusiasm about roller derby caught his interest. “I’ve been skating forever, so I thought, well, I can probably skate,” he said. “And then I just kind of caught the bug.” Men were limited to refereeing at first, but more programs are becoming co-ed and men’s teams are forming. Both Zimmer and Bennett coach and skate with the co-ed Rollers, and also play for the Vancouver Murder men’s team. Women’s roller derby is a rough and tough sport; men’s derby, more so.
GREG SAKAKI/THE NEWS BULLETIN
Dan (Dan-O-Mite) Zimmer takes a break from practice with the Harbour City Rollers at Beban Park’s Centennial Building. Zimmer and a teammate recently qualified for Canada’s men’s world cup team.
“It can get extremely aggressive and it escalates quickly, but it’s not as scary as you think,” said Zimmer. “A lot of times, if you have somebody clean your clock, you’ve got enough protective equipment on that you’re not going to get injured. You’ll get bumps and bruises and you’ll be stiff and sore and what not.” But all that is worth it, especially for the two Rollers men who are now bound for the Men’s Roller Derby World Cup in Calgary next summer. Making Team
Canada was a long-standing goal for both men. Tryouts were held in three locations across the country and there were 80 guys at the Vancouver tryouts. “Not everybody is going to get to be able to have that in their life, where they get to represent their country in a sport that they love to play,” Zimmer said. “I’ll definitely embrace every minute of it.” For more information, please visit www. facebook.com/harbourcityrollers. sports@nanaimobulletin.com
It’s the time of year when the Barsby Bulldogs will need to be at their best. John Barsby Secondary School’s AA varsity football team kicks off the playoffs this Saturday (Nov. 14) against the Moscrop Panthers. The visitors are an outof-division opponent that the ’Dawgs don’t play often, but the teams met at the junior varsity level in the 2013 playoffs. “The same group of kids, a couple years older now,” said Rob Stevenson, Barsby coach. Moscrop has good roster numbers, plays physical and can run and pass the ball. Barsby has those same attributes and more, not to mention home-field advantage and a high seeding. “Defensively we’re really playing a solid, physical game, not too many breakdowns mentally. Special teams for us have been going along well … and offensively, I think we can run and pass with equal aplomb,” Stevenson said. “So we’re balanced.” GAME ON … Saturday’s game is a 12:30 p.m. kickoff at Merle Logan Field. In junior varsity, the Nanaimo District Islanders visited Abbotsford on Wednesday and Barsby hosts Hugh Boyd today (Nov. 12) at 4 p.m. at Merle Logan Field. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Runners fleet of foot
Double race challenges cross riders Just one lap of cyclocross is a challenge, but somehow, riders managed a whole lot of laps this past weekend. The Cross on the Rock series held its Kona Kup on Saturday at Beban Park, then the My Little Pony Cross on Sunday at Arbutus Meadows Equestrian Centre at Nanoose Bay. The expert women’s divisions were highlights both days for local racers. In the Kona Kup, it was a one-two-three finish for Nanaimo riders, with Wendy Simms winning, Carey Mark second and Janna Gillick third. At Nanoose the next day in a 45-minute race, Mark was the winner by one second over Gillick. N a n a i m o ’s B i l l

Clippers play against Alberni
The VIU Mariners men’s basketball team is off to a perfect 3-0 start so far, and they’ll look to keep up their winning ways on the road. “I think we just have to continue to get better at our defensive principles and our offensive execution as much as we need to worry about the other teams,” said Matt Kuzminski, Mariners coach. Vancouver Island University’s men’s and women’s basketball teams visit the Kwantlen Eagles on Friday (Nov. 13) and then the Columbia Bible College Bearcats on Saturday in Pacific Western Athletic Association play. Next home action for the Mariners basketball teams is Nov. 20-21 .
