Wellington library will move to mall I BRANCH HEADED to Country Club Centre by 2017. By KaRL yU THE NEwS bULLETiN
Relocation of the Wellington library branch to Country Club Centre by 2017 will bring a number of benefits to customers, according to the Vancouver Island Regional Library. Wellington library has been situated on Barons Road since 1979, requires maintenance and hasn’t received upgrades in nearly 20 years. It would be costly to renovate and additionally, a lease is expected to expire in December. “Really, it came down to, VIRL has 39 branches and over time all of them are expected to need repair eventually,” said Natasha Bartlett, Vancouver Island Regional Library spokeswoman. “The Wellington branch is a super popular branch and it’s one that’s been on the radar of the board on a priority list for improvement for some time now.” The regional library issued an expression of interest in 2015 to explore other options in the area and Bartlett said the mall submission was ideal for a number of reasons. “When we investigated some local options, we realized that there was actually a great space available less than 500 metres away that would meet our budget and

food court and the budget for the project is $375,000. Hurcombe said the new site is approximately 4,700 square feet. Along with the new location will come new pieces to the collection, said Bartlett. “Customers are going to start seeing newer books, newer DVDs, obviously
everything that goes with it, with the new furnishings and new desks and everything,” Bartlett said. “It’s going to be a nicer experience for sure.” An open house on concepts will be held on April 14 at 6:30 p.m. at the current branch, 3032 Barons Rd.
Snuneymuxw building strategies surrounding economic development By TaMaRa CUNNINgHaM THE NEwS bULLETiN
The forestry industry is anticipated to kindle economic activity and wealth in the “multiple millions of dollars a year” for Snuneymuxw First Nation. The first cut was made into 877 hectares of Snuneymuxw-owned forest on Mount Benson last year, representing an important economic driver, new revenue and future employment for more than 1,700 members of the Nanaimo First Nation. The forest lands are part of a reconciliation agreement with the B.C. government, meant to spur economic activity for a nation that’s struggled with economic development, largely because of a lack of land, according to Douglas White III, band councillor and chief negotiator for the Snuneymuxw. He now sees a community on the cusp of change, of being able to create employment opportunities and generate wealth for benefits and services and quality-oflife improvements for the Snuneymuxw people. With forestry lands and hopedfor achievements with land negotiations in the coming years, the nation has been brought from a place of poverty to one where it has “real financial and economic assets and economic activity for the first time.” The provincial transfer alone more than quadrupled the nation’s land base and managing it all is a revamped and armslength Snuneymuxw Economic Development Group of Companies, which is spurring economy activity by managing land holdings and forestry on behalf of the nation and outside the governance of Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada. It’s currently seeking proposals for a second cut of the forest lands and the sale of logs, as it takes inventory of its skilled workforce with plans to train members and establish its own forestry company next season.

Dylan Waite poses with his grandparents Bob and Norma Gauld after receiving a commendation from his navy cadet unit at a surprise ceremony at Nanaimo Christian School on Wednesday. Waite used his CPR training to save his grandfather’s life after he suffered a heart attack in January.
Teen saves grandfather’s life I DylaN WaitE was made honorary first responder. By Chris Bush The News bulleTiN
A Nanaimo teen is being heralded as an honorary first responder and a future community leader, but most of all he’s basking in the gratitude of his grandfather whose life he saved last month. Dylan Waite, a Nanaimo Christian School student and a petty officer second class with 136 Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps Amphion, was visiting his grandparents in January when he heard a bang in the basement. He ran downstairs and found his grandfa-
ther on the floor unconscious and not breathing. Waite told his grandmother to call 911 and then started CPR on the unconscious man. Waite performed CPR on his grandfather until paramedics arrived and then continued to assist emergency crews. “When I went down there he was just lying there and I just snapped and went in there,” Waite said. Waite learned his standard first aid and CPR skills while training with the sea cadets. He was presented with a certificate of commendation by his cadet unit commanding officer Lieut. Sandy Dudley and was handed a Nanaimo Fire Rescue uniform cap by Craig Richardson, chief of Nanaimo Fire Rescue, during a ceremony at his school on Wednesday.
ISLAND COMMUNICATIONS LTD.
Speakers at the presentation included Nanaimo Mayor Bill McKay and representatives from the Heart and Stroke Foundation of B.C. and Yukon. Richardson recited the report made to him by firefighters who attended the scene who said Waite demonstrated composure and compassion. “The CPR that you learned at cadets is absolutely a credit to saving your grandfather’s life and I feel today as though you are a fellow first responder,” Richardson said. “It’s remarkable to think that a 15-year-old boy would respond so incredibly well with a loved one – a true test of his character. I’m very proud of him,” said James Sijpheer, Nanaimo Christian School principal.

Wellington built atop coal seams tales I MINE TOWN lived and died in 30 years. BY CHRIS BUSH The News BulleTiN
A cemetery on a hill and a historical marker on a lakeshore are all that recall Wellington’s coal mining heyday. On Jan. 24, 1888, at about 8:30 a.m., No. 5 pit of the Wellington Colliery, inspected and pronounced “in excellent order” by a team of miners just days earlier, was ripped apart by a methane gas explosion. Seventy-seven of the 168 men working underground died that morning. In the late 1800s, coal was the big economic driver in the Nanaimo region, but Wellington’s coal seams, discovered and developed by coal baron Robert Dunsmuir in the 1870s, yielded the highest-grade coal. Wellington was a thriving town of 1,100 people, but contrary
to legend, it never would rival Nanaimo’s population, 4,500 at the time. “I think they thought it was going to be the next greatest thing, but then it turned out those mines just sort of declined and they moved the whole operation to Extension and Ladysmith,” said Christine Meutzner, Nanaimo Community Archives manager. We l l i n g t o n c o n trasted strongly with Nanaimo. Wellington was ethnically diverse – populated by Italians, Finns, Belgians and Chinese – whereas Nanaimo’s population came mostly from England and Scotland. “Not only did they have a Chinese community and a Finnish community, but they had a substantial black population,” Meutzner said. Forty-six of the miners who died in the No. 5 pit were Chinese. The pace of life differed between the towns, too. Nanaimo’s coal industry manage-

ment might have had to wait for decisions from head offices in England, but it meant Nanaimo residents could count on longterm stability, purchase homes, start businesses and live outside parameters of a company-owned
community like Wellington where decisions made by its owner could change lives overnight. “It’s a true company town, whereas Nanaimo never really was,” Meutzner said. By 1900, Wellington’s coal seams
petered out and the majority of town buildings and population were rolled away on railway cars. Wellington, nestled between Countr y Club Centre and Long Lake, finally incorporated into Nanaimo in 1975, but scant evidence of its heyday remains, aside from the Wellington Cemetery at the corner of Cardena and Ledgerwood streets where a few headstones stand witness and bear names of men, women and children who inhabited a town that lived and died in 30 years.

AN ASSOCIATION OF LAW CORPORATIONS
“YOU AND THE LAW”® WHY YOU NEED AN ENDURING POWER OF ATTORNEY Once you reach late middle age, you are at higher risk of sudden strokes or other incapacitating illnesses. Should this happen, you may be unable to make arrangements for others to act in your place. And these mental capacity issues can lead to bitter disputes among family members. Just one example: in a heated court battle, two groups of siblings fought about whether their mom still had the ability to make independent decisions, due to Alzheimer’s. What distressed the mom most was the two groups’ fighting. What should you do to protect yourself and avoid these problems? Think about who you’d want to act in your place before anyone can suggest you’re no longer fit to make that choice. For your financial affairs, you do this through a document called an “enduring power of attorney.” With a standard power of attorney, you can appoint someone you trust as your agent or“attorney”to act for you in financial matters, but the appointment ends if you become mentally incapable. Not so for an enduring power of attorney, which must say that it’s to continue (or is only to come into effect) once you’re mentally incapable. That way, your trusted“attorney”can make financial decisions for you (perhaps only once you’re no longer able to) – without someone having to go to court to be appointed as “committee.” (That’s an expensive and lengthy process, which would otherwise be necessary.) If you’re vulnerable or elderly, there are rules designed to help prevent abuses, by spelling out tests for determining your capacity, how to sign up a valid power of attorney document, and saying that (except for your spouse, parent or children) paid health care workers can’t act as your“attorney”. Plan ahead and take action. Your lawyer can explain more and ensure all requirements are followed. Written by J. and G. Mucalov, LL.B.s with assistance from FABRIS McIVER HORNQUIST & RADCLIFFE.

PROJECT SITE located at old coal operation. BY KARL YU The News BulleTiN
Environment and access to trails are among the concerns voiced by attendees of a public meeting on a Boat Harbour Marina project this past Thursday night at Cedar Community Hall. Tiara (BHM) Holdings, marina owner, has submitted a development permit application to the Regional District of Nanaimo seeking to redevelop the marina and expand parking. The marina site is located at an old coal loading operation and residents are concerned redevelopment could have an adverse effect on the environment, particularly if coal sediment is disturbed. “It’s full of old coal. If you dig that up you got another Exxon Valdez basically ... it’s just going to make a big mess,” said resident Cam Mcleay. “My concerns are ecological in that Stuart Channel is diminished greatly

as a highly productive area in the past and dredging’s going to be bad for it,” said Tom Hutton, longtime Cedar resident. Nicole Vaugeois, another resident and research chairwoman with the department of recreation and tourism at Vancouver Island University, expressed concern about trail access, which some say has been blocked. “Lots of communities are trying to actually get a trail and have a trail to get people to come to, so that there’s tourism benefits or special event benefits,” she said. “All of that future money that could be a result of this, we just would be shooting ourselves in the foot
to not have that open right now.” Roy Ellis and Alvin Hui, who run the holdings company, were unavailable for comment, but in a statement provided in February, said no work has been done at the marina and reports from experts are being finalized. In terms of trail access, Ellis and Hui said they put up fences because people have been trespassing onto their property and dumping garbage, including abandoned vehicles and old building supplies. The two are expected to detail their plans at a March 21 meeting at 6 p.m. at the community hall. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

City manager chosen from 50 applicants Tracy Samra, Nanaimo’s new city manager, won a two-way contest for the top job. Nanaimo’s City Manager Selection Committee, made up of mayor and council, shortlisted four candidates for city manager from more than 50 applications received in January. Half of those on the short list declined interviews, according to John Van Horne, the city’s director of human resources, who said it’s not uncommon for candidates to drop out of the process. You also don’t add names to the shortlist for the sake of adding names, he said, later adding that if you didn’t have an interest in the candidate as a group the first time, you would be making the addition without having the same basis for doing so as you did the first candidates. “I’ve been involved in interview panels where you interview five people and only two really are of any interest,” he said. “Sometimes dragging out the list of interviewees just for the sake of that, you’re not necessarily making good use of your time.” Van Horne complimented council on the calibre of the candidates they did shortlist and the ones ultimately interviewed, calling it “a very good group.” Mayor and council, as well as Van Horne interviewed the candidates. Samra was announced as the new city manager at a city council meeting Monday. The total salary of Samra has not been released, but the city manager said it’s under $200,000. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Band looking for opportunities to build wealth From /1
CHRIS BUSH/THe NewS BUlleTIN
Erralyn Thomas, president of the Snuneymuxw Economic Development Group of Companies, looks forward to a future where her nation is a full partner with municipal, regional and provincial governments in economic decisions and projects impacting the Nanaimo region.
The community is also being asked to help brand the economic group and weigh in on priorities for community development. “It’s an incredible moment that we’re in,” said White. “We’ve largely been impoverished by the loss of access to our resources and to our village sites over the last 100 years or longer, so we’ve grappled with poverty and being in a state of dependency for far too long. “We’re looking for opportunities to build our own wealth so we can set priorities and that we can start to look after ourselves, and to create that kind of independence is what any community and any political community would wish for itself.” White has seen the Snuneymuxw First Nation struggle with economic development, including its push into the shellfish industry which was unsuccessful. A key limitation has been the lack of land, he said. As of February this year, the population is 1,769, with 586 people living on reserve lands that span 266 hectares, according to Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada. But claims and negotiations have been expanding the Snuneymuxw land base, with one of the main goals being economic development. Further negotiations with the province are expected this year for lands like the Linley Valley and Crown land in Departure Bay, according to White, who said the nation is also just concluding negotiations with the federal government for the loss of a 32-hectare reserve along Stewart Avenue that will

bring a “significant” cash settlement. A portion of the dollars will support economic activity, he said. The nation will also seek property that’s been in holding patterns, including more than 400 hectares on Gabriola Island. White said the “time is now” for the lands to go into the hands of the Snuneymuxw so it can develop them in a way that benefits the nation and the broader communities. Already the Snuneymuxw Economic Development Group of Companies, tasked with managing land holdings, is attracting the attention of developers, realtors and investors with the land it has, including the south industrial waterfront and Duke Point. The work of the company is just beginning, says Erralyn Thomas, a band councillor and new president of the economic group. The economic group was previously solely focused on the Sandstone development in south Nanaimo, but in 2014 it was given a new structure and the first board meeting was held last October when Thomas was named president. Under this group, chief and council are the shareholders, but the corporation is separate from the nation and outside the direction of the federal government. There are so many things the company can do whereas previously “we were within this box, this Indian act box and you only get this amount of funding and you can only do this with it,” Thomas said. She sees herself carrying on a vision built up by previous councils and chiefs, with an economic group that will

allow for wealth generation, community development and an increased land base – all without compromising cultural values and way of life. She sees no reason why the economic group can’t become a ‘Bill Gates’ success. Forestry has been a big deal for the community, and there has been a transition from dealing with pennies to millions overnight, she said, adding it allows for things to be done that couldn’t have under the current band budget. Thomas is excited about engaging the community and optimistic others like the City of Nanaimo and Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation are receptive to working with the Snuneymuxw. She is also clear, that gone are the days Snuneymuxw is left in the dust and development won’t happen without them at the table. “Boom, Snuneymuxw is here, guys.” news@nanaimobulletin.com

EDITORIAL
Government gives and takes The provincial government made itself a target for the flak it’s receiving for doing away with a $45-per-year bus pass for disabled people. For the first time in nine years, the province did boost disability benefits by $77 per month. But those who want to keep their bus pass will get to keep just a third of that hike, because they will now have to shell out $52 each month for transit. It’s understandable that advocates for the disabled are upset about the move, since those who want to keep their bus pass will reap just $25 each month – a sum that does little to help keep up with ever-escalating costs. The government says altering the bus pass program was done in the name of fairness for those who don’t use transit. But restructuring the program in this way created terrible optics. Even though the province raised disability benefits, there’s been a deserved outcry that the ministry is taking away assistance for those who need a bit of extra help. Thousands of disabled people rely on transit to access programs, visit family and friends and get to work. Ramping up the cost of a bus pass by more than 1,300 per cent annually will likely deter some from moving around town. That is good for neither the individuals concerned, nor for society at large, which benefits when all its members feel included and have opportunity to contribute. For the province, the $20-million price tag for the B.C. bus pass program was a relatively minor expense in a multi-billiondollar budget. If the province is concerned about equity for those in rural areas who can’t take the bus, it might want to consider how it can help those men and women, rather than withdrawing a benefit for others. The government made a significant move to ensure disability benefits keep up with rising costs. But it’s hard to be satisfied with an announcement that gives with one hand and takes away with the other.

Seniors’ care fix straightforward To the Editor,
I have been keeping track of the B.C. Senior Advocate’s reports which are an excellent example of extensive research that outlines all aspects of the care that our seniors are receiving in this province. She has highlighted the rising problem of ‘resident-on-resident aggression’ in care facilities, and stated that she would be looking for systemic issues that contribute to this problem. I am disappointed by this statement because the solution to this problem is contained within the information in her report. And that information is, that licensing violations have increased by 21 per cent since 2014. And that the largest majority of those violations, at 44 per cent, are in the category of care and supervision and 20 per cent in the category of staffing. And in assisted living, the largest percentage of complaints are in the category of resident abuse, neglect, and selfabuse. Eureka! I have discovered the obvious solution to improving the quality of care for our seniors, that oddly enough, the entire health ministry has failed to notice or acknowledge. And those are: an increase in staff levels, mandatory evaluations for employees, and more training for dealing with dementiarelated issues. All of these solutions to be found in a report that 90 per cent of B.C. citizens will never read. Do you think that our tax dollars will now be saved because looking for the systemic issues should no longer be necessary?

Right to die creates choices To the Editor,
Re: Right to die shouldn’t be considered a charter right, Letters, March 8. Once again, we’re hearing from someone who wants to foist his beliefs on all Canadians. My health issues started when I was very young and life-threatening ones started in my mid-20s. As I’ve aged, my health problems have increased and at almost 73, my quality of life has decreased substantially. When my quality of life gets to the point that I feel life is no longer worth living, I will choose assisted dying. I’m disgusted by those activists and zealots who feel that they have the right to make life choices
for me and by those who feel that their religion trumps mine, therefore I must abide by their wishes. I have no wish to make choices for those people and I insist that I have the right to live – and die – as I choose, not as they choose. It is now the right of every Canadian with serious health problems to decide when life has become unbearable for them.

Search and rescue teams pluck stranded hikers from Benson Nanaimo Search and Rescue was called out during Wednesday night’s storm to find two hikers lost on Mount Benson. According to Nanaimo RCMP, search and rescue was called at about 4:30 p.m. after two female hikers, ages 16 and 25, called 911 to report they lost their way during the return from a
day hike up Mount Benson. The hikers provided their location with GPS on a cellphone. About an hour later, 15 trained search and rescue members set off from Kilpatrick Road to look for the lost hikers, locating them at about 7:30 p.m. The hikers were tired and wet, but grateful, as the search and
rescue team escorted them off the mountain and back to their vehicle. “This is just another classic example of the dedication and commitment [search and rescue] provides on any given day, regardless of the circumstances,” said Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman, in a press release.

Police have a 16-year-old suspect in custody after a robbery that led to a police chase and tasering of the suspect on Wednesday. A c c o rd i n g t o a Gabriola RCMP press release, police responded to an armed robber y shortly before 2:30 p.m. A man who was carrying his groceries on Dirksen Road near Stephens Road was approached by an unknown male, wearing a hoodie and a bandana over his face, who pulled out a long knife and told the victim to drop everything and hand over his wallet and cell hone. The victim did as ordered and was then told to run the other direction. He ran along Stephens Road and managed to wave down a passing vehicle. The driver picked up the victim, drove him to the RCMP detachment and happened to pass the suspect along the way. Hearing the victim’s report, the officer on duty stepped outside, spotted the suspect across the street and confronted him at gunpoint. The suspect pulled out a long knife, pointed it toward the member while trying to cover his face with his bandana. The suspect refused to drop the knife and surrender, allegedly said, “I’m not going to jail,” and ran off into some woods. A police dog service team and the RCMP West Coast Marine Unit were called in
C
from Nanaimo, plus an on-call officer from Gabriola. The dog team tracked the suspect through a marsh to a forest behind the Folk Life Village. Meanwhile Gabriola Elementary School was locked down and ferry service to the Island was halted. At about 3:15 p.m. a citizen called 911 to say the suspect was walking on Berta Road. Mounties confronted him again and he, once again, pulled out a knife and ran off into the woods behind a residence. Police caught up with him and a standoff ensued. Police spent some time trying to de-escalate the confrontation and trying to get the teen to surrender, but the suspect continued to alternate between holding the knife to his own neck and toward police. An officer with a Taser arrived on the scene and tasered the suspect, who dropped the knife and was taken into custody. Police confiscated three knives he was carrying. The suspect, a Gabriola resident who cannot be named because he is a minor, is currently facing charges of armed robbery, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, carrying a concealed weapon, resisting/obstructing police and committing an indictable offence while wearing a disguise. He was scheduled to appear in Nanaimo p ro v i n c i a l c o u r t Thursday. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

Student exhibit at the campus gallery explores different themes around the colour orange By RACHEL STERN

range. A reddish-yellow colour. A citrus fruit. The word has literal meanings, but it can also evoke feelings or abstract concepts. The latest exhibit at The View Gallery, at Vancouver Island University, explores what orange means to different student artists. Chantelle Delage, curatorial assistant for the gallery, created the theme. She said she made it as open as possible so submissions weren’t limited. “I asked them what it meant to them. If it was a feeling. I got a lot of interesting submissions,”
said Delage. “It’s interesting to see people’s concept about the colour.” Orange features 20 art pieces by VIU students in the art and design departments. It runs at The View Gallery until March 24. Delage said a student show curated by students has never happened at the gallery before. “We have the freedom to plan and curate ourselves,” said Delage, adding that as a student artist, she doesn’t have a lot of opportunities to show her work. In May, when the Nanaimo Art Gallery closed its campus location and consolidated its space downtown, the university took over the space and created The
View Gallery. The campus gallery has become a space where VIU students can get hands-on training. Justin McGrail, curator of The View Gallery, said Delage has been the curatorial assistant for a year. It has allowed her to learn all of the stages of creating an exhibit from putting out a call, communicating with artists, preparing the gallery walls, hanging the exhibit and more. He said it allows students not only to make art at the university, but explore the other aspects connected to an artist’s world, such as curating. Delage was assisted by Maggie Hinbest and Eddy Graham, who are student workers at the gallery.
McGrail said there is “a sense of excitement” about the show among students at the university. Delage said it is an interesting experience, as an artist, to learn the curatorial aspects of creating an exhibit from beginning to end. She’s a fourth-year visual arts student who graduates in four weeks. She focuses on print making and painting. Delage said print making appeals to her because it is about the process required to create art. “It’s not always about the end result,” she said. The gallery is open Monday to Friday from 1-4 p.m. Admission is free; donations are accepted. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Boat builder chronicles his life in debut book By RACHEL STERN The News BulleTiN
Boat builder Barrie Farrell chronicles his life in his memoir Boats in My Blood: A Life of Boat Building. The author is launching his book at an event at the Nanaimo Harbourfront Librar y Wednesday (March 16) at 6 p.m. The 81-year-old still works on his boats in Nanaimo and was ready to return to
his workshop to do some finishing work on a craft after his interview with the News Bulletin. Despite only attending school until Grade 6, Farrell became sought after for his boat designs and is known for being a pioneer in the B.C. boat building industry, He didn’t receive any training to learn how to create boat designs. Many people call him up today and
ask for his creations. “I guess, I’m an artist. I was just natural at it. I found my calling,” said Farrell. The gillnetters a n d t ro l l e r s h e constructed and designed were staples in the B.C. Salmon Fleet in the 1970s and ’80s. By the 1990s he had built more than 300 boats. Farrell said he decided to write his memoir because he felt the history
should be “written down on paper.” He wrote the book while he onboard his sailboat, The Marana, sailing up and down the coast and wintering in Pender Harbour. “I was living on the sailboat at the time so I had time to sit down and do some writing,” said Farrell. At his book launch, Farrell will sign copies of his book at the event and will speak about his life.
“If they are lucky I will even sing them a song,” said Farrell, in jest. “I know a few sea chanties.” Farrell is already putting some notes together for another book. Copies of the book are $25 and are available from the author by calling 250-616-1429, Literacy Central Vancouver Island, Chapters and www.harbour publishing.com. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

TEMPORARY PUBLIC art selected and will be installed this May.
He attended the Nova Scotia College of Art and the Dundas Valley School of Art in Ontario. He opened his studio, Glaros Studios, four years ago in South Wellington. Along with his sculptures he also creates furniture pieces, concepts and designs for offices and homes and other carpentry work. Glaros said he just naturally gravitated towards sculpting. “It speaks to me better, the tactile, the feel of it,” said Glaros. “I still like drawing, but now my drawing tends to be concept drawing.” While Glaros works in both wood and steel, he said wood is subtractive while metal is additive. Chris Sholberg, culture and heritage planner for the City of Nanaimo, said the temporary public art program is growing and this year there were 39 submissions from artists across Canada. “Our program is reaching artists nationwide,” he said. There were nine artists chosen this year to have work installed as part of the program. Seven out of the nine art pieces chosen are from Nanaimo artists. The other two artists hail from Victoria, Scott Gillies, and Toronto, Labspace Studio.
By RACHEL STERN ThE NEwS BullETIN
Walks along Vancouver Island beaches and encountering strands of bull kelp washed up on shore inspired Nanaimo artist Angellos Glaros to create a sculpture. He works with steel to create his art pieces and said he is influenced by the Island’s natural surroundings. “I am trying to get the fluidity, the softness of it by using steel,” he said about his kelp sculpture. Glaros was one of the Nanaimo artists whose work was selected to be part of this year’s temporary public art program. His piece, called Kelp Structure, when complete will stand about 2.4 metres high and 1.2m across. Glaros said his sculpture is slated to be installed across from the Port Theatre, where the piece Solstice, created by Elizabeth Welburn, Samuel Houston and Deryk Houston, now resides. Glaros began drawing as a child.

The 2016 pieces chosen include: The Core, by Bryan Faubert; Cerebrum Digitalis, by Maggie Wouterloot; L-O-V-E Bird, by Mia Tremblay and Craig Lambie; Driftwood, by Gillies; Kelp Structure, by Glaros; Carved Panel, by William Good; Salmon on the Bridge, by Laura Timmermans; The Porthole, by Victoria Drakeford and Passage by Labspace Studio. The new pieces are slated to be installed during Public Art Week, May 16-20. “Public art enhances community and place, celebrating our past, present and future,” said Nanaimo Mayor Bill McKay, in a press release. “Community members are constantly commenting on how public art adds visual interest and vibrancy to our public spaces.” The pieces were approved for installation by Nanaimo city council in January. The temporary public art program began in 2010, with the aim of creating outdoor galleries in the spaces the work occupies and for the enjoyment of residents and visitors, according to the City of Nanaimo’s website.

EDUCATION Choices
How to help high schoolers choose the right college Choosing a college or university is the first big decision of many teenagers’ lives. A youngster’s choice of college can impact the rest of his or her life, and it’s important that kids recognize the gravity of this decision. Many kids, in particular those who realize the impact that their choice of college can have on the rest of their lives, are overwhelmed when colleges begin sending information about their programs and campus life. Such information, especially when it is unsolicited, may begin to arrive at the dawn of high school student’s
sophomore year, long before many teenagers have begun to think about where to pursue their educations after high school. But as daunting a task as choosing a college may seem, teenagers should enjoy the process, as the choice of where to go to college is unlike any other decision many students will make for the rest of their lives. Parents also can ensure the process goes more smoothly by helping their kids find the right school. That’s especially true for parents who have already been through the process with an
older child. But even parents going through the process for the first time can take the following steps to help youngsters find the right college. * Discuss finances with kids at the outset of the selection process. While the choice of where a student goes to college should ultimately rest with that student, it’s important that parents explain their financial situations to their kids at the outset of the selection process. Explain how much you can contribute toward tuition and fees, and explain the differences between loans and

grants. Some kids may expect their parents to foot the entire bill for their education, but such situations are increasingly rare
thanks to the rising cost of a college education. Make sure kids know the financial obligations they will be taking on should they
take out loans to pay for their education. * Ask kids to list fields of study they may want continued on page 22

EDUCATION Choices continued from page 21 to pursue. While incoming college freshman do not necessarily need to choose a major upon enrolling, kids who know their interests and what they may want to one day do for a living may be more likely to find the right college or university for them. Parents can ask kids to write down a list of their interests, including potential career interests. This can help kids narrow down the list of colleges and universities they are considering. For example, if a student is interested in engineering but a university on their list does not offer an engineering program, then that school can be eliminated. Kids who list multiple potential fields of study may benefit by choosing a larger school with more available programs. This can allow them to pursue more than one major or even switch majors without transferring to another school. * Visit campuses. Student-athletes who hope to continue their athletic careers at the collegiate level may be limited to a certain number of official campus visits, but nonathletes face no such restrictions. While college is first and foremost about getting an education, it’s also an opportunity to grow as a person. Campus visits can give kids a feel for campus life, which varies considerably between colleges, and that feel can help them determine if a given college or university is somewhere they’re liable to feel comfortable over the next several years. Parents can accompany kids on campus visits and ask questions their kids may not know to ask but will certainly be glad to know the answers to.
Traveling to various campuses can be expensive, so parents might want to delay campus visits until kids have narrowed down their lists of potential colleges. * Stay involved. Some kids may succumb to the pressure of choosing a college and detach themselves from the process as a result. While taking periodic breaks from talking about college can benefit both kids and their folks, parents should not allow such breaks to go on for too long. Stay involved in the process so kids continue to approach it with the right attitude. If kids appear to be struggling with their decision, act as a sounding board for them so they can let off some steam and clear their heads.

You don’t! There are many MANY options regarding different probiotic products: capsules, powders, liquids, naturally fermented foods... DR. KAREN L. FRASER Unless you are having stool testing or have researched which probiotics are best suited to your condition, then you may not know which product is the best fit for you. Different species/ strains have different functions in the body. Stool testing paired with research is how I determine what may be right for my patients re IBS, IDB, yeast infections, sinus infections, lowered immune system and many other conditions. In my practice, I keep to using hypo-allergenic products that are free of dairy, gluten, wheat, yeast and other reactive foods as many retail brands will contain some of these allergens that some people may be trying to avoid. I also look for companies that test and guarantee the number of active microbes at the time of expiry – this is important as you do not want the microbes to become unviable once opened or post manufacture date. When in doubt, the species that have the most research are the Lactobacillus and Bifidus species. Naturopathic consults are covered under most extended health care benefits.
Is it necessary to claim all personal assets during bankruptcy? I have some heirloom jewellery which GARETH SLOCOMBE, CA, CIRP came from my parents. Could this be transferred to my daughter?
All assets to which an individual may have an interest must be disclosed to the trustee in a bankruptcy. This even includes assets which may be exempt from seizure under the Court Order Enforcement Act, such as household goods, tools of the trade etc. With respect to jewellery, this type of asset is not exempt in a bankruptcy and must therefore be realized on by the trustee. In most cases the trustee would likely be willing to accept payments from the bankrupt, or possibly a family member, for the estimated value of the jewellery instead of being required to actually sell the items. A pawn shop or liquidation estimate of the jewellery can normally be used to determine a realizable value. A transfer of the jewellery to a family member, for purposes of keeping it out of the bankruptcy, could be reversed by the trustee and may also delay or prevent the bankrupt from receiving an absolute order of discharge from bankruptcy.

What can I do to keep my eyes healthy?
The eyes are very dependent on your general health, so as much as possible DR. PAUL GENEAU maintain good blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Nutrition is very important too. A diet rich in vegetables and fruits benefits the eyes, it may also be prudent to take an anti-oxidant supplement. Protect your eyes from ultra-violet damage from the sun by wearing protective sunglasses. Also wear eye protection appropriate to your sports, and even gardening and other work around the house. Weed-whackers are notorious for causing eye injuries. Have regular, routine eye examinations, to detect disease early and treat it more effectively. Life is worth seeing....take care of your eyes!

My husband and I know what each other wants for their health care. Do we really need Representation TIAH M. WORKMAN Agreements for each other? If one of you ends up in the hospital in emergency circumstances, you will be able to make decisions for each other. However, it is because you fall into the definition of “temporary substitute decision maker” for each other at that time. On an ongoing basis, you would need a Representation Agreement to discuss your husband’s health care with his doctor. Further, without a Representation Agreement you may find yourself in a difficult situation if you want to make personal/health care decisions for your husband if they are challenged by other family members that disagree.

Why would I need a hearing test if I don’t notice a hearing loss? JEFF CAMPBELL, RHIP As with other health issues, it is important to identify hearing loss early. Hearing loss tends to occur gradually and many people don’t realize a problem is developing. It is often apparent to others before obvious to the individual. Early diagnosis of hearing loss means more effective treatment, reduced risk of auditory deprivation and better communication ability. A hearing test is painless and quick. It should be an annual part of ongoing health care such as dental check-ups and other routine evaluations. Call us today for a complimentary hearing test and a demonstration of the latest hearing aid technology.

How Do I Deal With My Plantar Fasciitis?
The Plantar fascia is a ligament located on the DR. KATIA bottom of the foot. It functions by attaching the ball LANGTON of the foot to the front of the heel. It is important in maintaining arch height and providing stability to the foot when you walk. When there are problems with the way you walk, increased stress on the fascia causes injury and subsequently pain. Biomechanical problems can include the big toe having too much movement, the foot over pronating (arch collapsing) or the ankle being restricted or stiff in its movement increasing stress on the Plantar fascia. Typically the fascia will try to repair itself when you sleep or sit for extended periods. Once you stand up and put weight on the fascia, you tear the ligament and thwart these attempts to heal the fascia. This explains why pain is often worse first thing in the morning or after standing from sitting for longer periods of time. One of the more effective solutions is to support the arch with a custom foot orthotic. Custom orthotics will limit the stretch on the Plantar fascia. Once you limit the repetitive strain on the fascia; the inflammation and the pain it causes will generally resolve over a period of 6-8 weeks. As you are correcting the biomechanics with custom orthotics, you will need to stretch the tight achilles tendon and use cold laser, ice and ultrasound to decrease inflammation and speed up healing.

hypnotherapy Can Hypnotherapy help me to quit smoking?
I often hear the following statements from smokers when they call to inquire: They will say, RON E. THOMPSON “I’m sick of the smell, the cost, and the hassle. “ “I find I’m out of breath at the top of the stairs.” “I’m going outside every day just to grab a smoke by a dumpster, gross!” “My doctor again reminded me how bad smoking is for my health.” Whatever your reason, quitting smoking is your decision and if you’re ready, hypnosis can help! You’ve tried the patch, gum, pills, cold turkey, lasers, electronic cigarettes, and like many others you’ve tried it all and failed. Because the habit is more of a mental one which your mind has taken on as an automatic behaviour until it becomes a reality for you every day. By using hypnosis we can address the habit in the sub-conscious mind by reprograming your mind to now enjoy being a Non-Smoker. Thousands of people everywhere have used hypnosis to quit smoking successfully and so can you. It’s safe, natural, and proven to work. So if you’re ready, call us for a free consultation or to set an up an appointment.

What is my home Comparative worth? Market Analysis
Absolutely. There are a number of different drainage options that can eliminate the accumulation of water in your yard and ensure your crawl space remains dry. A simple ditch to direct the flow of water away from the troubled spot may be the solution in some yards. In others, the installation of buried drain pipe bedded in drain rock will catch the accumulation of water and discharge it safely away before it causes damage. These systems require proper design to avoid causing drainage problems in another area of your yard. Additional waterproofing of your house foundation can be accomplished by sealing the exterior concrete with a waterproofing membrane, along with upgrading your house perimeter drains which are designed to keep the foundation dry. A properly drained yard and foundation will provide you with the assurance of staying dry. VI OUTDOOR provides a completed range of services for your home, yard and business. 250-739-9273 viom.ca.

If it’s done correctly, a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) or The Free Home Evaluation TIMTIM WAITWAIT P.R.E.C. can be the next best thing to an appraisal in approximating the value of a property. The purpose of the CMA is to analyze data from properties similar to the subject property that has sold recently in order to project the realistic price at which the subject property would sell. I’m not an appraiser, but what I’ve always done is make upward and downward adjustments to the projected value of the subject property based on features and characteristics of the comparables I use. Some are based on “gut” feelings while other adjustments come about through rules of thumb I have developed from experience. Putting a value on real estate is an inexact science at best, and this methodology has worked pretty well for me over the years. I use a completely different method for projecting the value of land and property with residential development potential. How can you tell if the CMA you’ve been given is worth more than the piece of paper it’s written on? Call me at 713-1223 or email tim@timwait.com and I will let you know.

Disc degeneration is not an unavoidable part of aging. The disc receives its nutrition from surrounding fluids. When the vertebrae are not moving properly, the disc becomes brittle and inelastic and stimulates the production of new bone in the form of bony spurs. This is what is evident on x-ray, along with decrease in the disc space and new bone formation at the posterior spinal joints. Even when disc degeneration is present, however, it is frequently not the cause of pain. The pain is often the result of improper joint function, and can usually be relieved by correcting the abnormal movement. This can also work to prevent further degeneration. A degenerating disc is not a contraindiction for chiropractic care. In most cases, treatment can bring relief of pain and slow down further deterioration. If you have any questions regarding spinal care in general please email this office at drkarin@shaw.ca or log in to http://drkarinmattern.shawwebspace.ca/

Urethane foam quality is defined by weight or density. Roughly we work in 3 weights 1lb, 2lb and 2.5lb. Those weights determine how the product will perform in a given set of circumstances. A 2.5lb 3” soft foam will last roughly 3-7 years. 1lb soft maybe a year or 2. Find out what weights are being used and don’t buy the high density thing. You want to know that weight. Also you want to know if the foam has ever been compressed or machine rolled.

Purchasers must live in the property for at least one year. This is a potential savings in closing costs of up to $13,000; • a one percent increase in property transfer tax to three percent for homes which are sold over the $2 million mark; • the first time home buyers exemption will remain in place for homes under $475,000; • buyers will need to start disclosing their country of residence in all property transactions; • the beneficial ownership of properties held by corporations will also be tracked. $750 for 2015 first-time buyers. Don’t leave money on the table if you bought your first home last year! You may be able to take advantage of the Home Buyers Tax Credit (HBTC) when you file your tax return. The $5,000 non-refundable HBTC provides up to $750 in federal tax relief. You qualify if neither you nor your spouse (or common-law partner) have owned and lived in another home for the past five years.

Kristiansen,
Daphne Pamela Daphne passed away, February 9, 2016, born October 28, 1920, in Brighton England, second born with two sisters, Mary and Dorothy. Nan grew up in Brighton and was an accomplished swimmer prior to the war. She enjoyed swimming at Beban Park, swimming up to 40 lengths well into her 80’s. Nan survived the depression and World War II, working for the NAFFI in London until 1945. She met and married Ray Winkler of the Royal Canadian Third Engineers in London in April of 1943, and immigrated to Canada in 1946. They lived in Milestone, Saskatchewan, where they worked on the family farm until their first child, Pamela, was born. They soon after moved to Nanaimo. When their second child, Roger was born in 1949, Nan felt it was important to travel back to Saskatchewan to have the support of her family. Nan worked for the Vancouver Island Regional Library headquarters from the early 1960’s until she retired in 1984. She is survived by her children, Pamela (Stan) Wood and Roger (Lynn) Winkler, grandchildren, Todd, Jason, Kelly, Steven, Ryan, and Shannon, eleven greatgrandchildren and many other relatives around the globe. The Wood family and the Winkler family would like to thank Dr. Peter King and the caregivers at Dufferin Place for the great care they provided to Nan. Thanks to all for your love and support, no service by request, flowers gratefully declined. If you wish, please make a donation to a charity of your choice.

COOK, Colin P.
I
t is with much love and with deep gratitude in our hearts that we announce the passing of Ichio Mikibeloved friend, wonderful husband to Minori, treasured father-in-law to Reid and Cory, amazing father to his children and mischievous grandfather always. Ichio was born the oldest son of Okinu and Ichitaro Miki in Vancouver, BC in 1932. From the day he was born to the day that he peacefully passed with loved ones by his side on February 2nd in Nanaimo, Ichio’s life exemplified in both spirit and motion a profound love of life, people and the “ true north” which he always carried very close to his heart. In 1942, with the evacuation of Japanese-Canadians from the coast, Ichio and his family, which included his parents, 4 brothers ( Tsuneo, Patrick, Robert and Joseph) and his sister (Mary) were relocated to the beautiful town of Greenwood BC. Ichio’s fond recollection of his childhood days reflected his eternal belief in the goodness of people, the kindness of strangers who inevitably became friends and the joy that every boy feels when he is running with his dog or taking the first slap shot on a handmade ice rink. After the war ended, Ichio attended the University of British Columbia where he continued to feed his passion for nurturing all creatures great and small. His education and experience culminated into a 35 year career at the Pacific Biological Research Station where his life’s work was dedicated to Pacific Salmon research. Upon retirement, Ichio was auspiciously promoted into his second career where he won accolades each and every year for “Grandfather of the Year.” On any given day, reports abounded throughout the city that Mckenzie and her cherished Ojichan were seen joyfully running with ice cream in hand headed into some brilliant adventure on a need to know-basis only. At every stage of his magical life, Ichio carried a big heart on two strong legs and happily followed his feet to always discover new friends, make the time to cherish old friends and to help all that he could who crossed his path. In all of his complexity, he had an elegant simplicity where he would often say that we were all very blessed and rich if our table was full – full of good friends, family, love and good food. Ichio’s legacy and DNA continue to be gratefully carried by his daughters, Izumi and Kayo, as well as by his adoring grandchildren, Mckenzie and Henry. Although the charmed circle appears in death to be broken, the truth of the matter lies in the fact that the ebb and flow of life is perfected by grace. Ichio’s kindness, quiet sharp wit, generosity and heartfelt desire to make a difference in the lives of others in the most humble of ways surely makes him one of the most memorable and iconic of the last unicorns and we will all miss him greatly... and gratefully. In lieu of flowers, the family appreciatively asks you to consider donations to Amnesty International, The Union Gospel Mission or the Canadian Wildlife Federation in Ichio’s name. Ichio’s “Celebration of Life” will be held on Saturday April 16th, 2016 at 2 pm at the Coast Bastion Hotel in Nanaimo.

O
ur amazing father, husband, grandfather, great grandfather, great great grandfather, uncle, friend and fellow earth traveler passed away at his home on Tuesday, March 1, 2016 at the age of 97. He was predeceased by his siblings Irene, Louise and Walter, his loving wife Molly of 62 years, his granddaughter Yvonne and son-in-law Ken. He will always be remembered and missed by those now left behind: Children, Brian (Louise), Diane, Christopher (Lynn) Margaret (Gary) his grandchildren Raymond, Clayton, Kenny, Candice, Marc, Eric, Alexander, Parker and Alison; and his great grandchildren: Chantelle, Daniel, Tayla, River, Kailana, Elise, Damien, Nathan, Brendyn, Alexandra, Kenny Jr., Cameron, and one very special Great-great grandchild Kylie. As well he leaves to mourn his loss his second wife Agnes, son David, Tobi, Odette and granddaughter Ollwyn. The changes that Charlie witnessed and participated in since his birth on May 22, 1918 to the present are phenomenal: from travel in the village by horse and buggy to travel in the global village by jet; from pen and paper letters to a Facebook page he has seen and done a lot. His ability to learn and adapt to those changes created his uniqueness. His skillfulness at connecting and communicating with the many and diverse people that he interacted with is remarkable. He enjoyed learning, and he appreciated life. He had the amazing gifts of conversation, interacting with others, seeing the best in people, and storytelling. His constant curiosity and his belief in his own ability to affect his world as well as his creative inventiveness while interacting with that world kept him youthful in spirit until the end. He had a larger than life impact on the many many people who knew and loved him. He will be remembered for his big Cheshire smile, generosity, and warm heart. He will live on in our stories, our hearts, and our big Cheshire grins. Our family extends gratitude and special thanks to Dr. Kathleen Torrie, Dr. Anthony Booth and Dr. Francis Nuamah in addition to the numerous people who helped with all his health and personal needs. A memorial service and celebration of life will be held at St. Philips By The Sea Anglican Church at 7113 Lantzville Rd. at 2:00PM on Friday March 18, 2016. In Lieu of flowers you might make a contribution to a charity of your choice in Charlie’s name.

Char will also be deeply missed by family members Lynne, Greg, Brian, Juli, Graham, Bailey, Kyle and Laurie as well as extended family and friends on Vancouver Island, lower mainland, and P.G. Thank you to the devoted staff at Traveller’s Lodge, Drs. Winder and Ellis, Chaplain Paulette and Lynne R. for giving Char comfort and quality of life. Whisper “I love you� to a butterfly, And it will fly to heaven to deliver your message. I walked as long as I could “I walked with you as long as I could. Our years were many, our days were good. I watched you fade slowly day by day; My heart wept tears, I hid them away. I could not show you weakness or grief. I gave you strength and staunch belief. God took your hand and we had to part. He eased your pain, but broke my heart. I wanted you with me for a few more years. God knew how I felt, but he knew best. He took you home so you could rest. Life goes on, I know it’s true. But it’s not the same since I lost you. Your beautiful memories I will treasure forever, Of the happy days when we were together. With an aching heart I whisper low, I love you and miss you so.� Love mom.

Born in Victoria on March 2, 1944, Don, after a long illness, slipped away peacefully holding his daughter Donna's hand on February 12, 2016. Predeceased by his parents, Richard (Dick) and Ruth (nee Shaw) Smith, and his sister, Barbara Kirzinger. He leaves behind his common-law wife of 21 years, Mary Glasgow, and her two daughters, whom he took on the role of Dad to, Kelsey (Joe) Cronkrite and Shelby (Corey) Hustwick. Don is survived by his daughter from his first marriage to Geraldine (Geri) (nee Kelly), Donna (Bob) Thompson and his grandchildren, Claudia and Spencer, his brother, Arthur (Leona) Smith, and his nephew and nieces and their families, his cousins and their families, as well as the "son he never had," Randy (Arlana) Jamieson and their children who called Don "Santa," Kaylan and Noah. Don enjoyed many hours of fishing out on Thrasher Rock catching big bucket mouthed ling cod back in the day. He looked forward to his annual hunting trip, and he thought he would have one more trip in him to go with Randy this fall. Many of Don's customers, fellow tradesmen, and his suppliers from over 50 years in the plumbing field, first working for his father and brother and then going onto own Don Smith Plumbing & Repairs, became lifelong close friends. Everyone who knew him had a story about Don. We hope you will bring yours to share at a Celebration of his Life to be held on Saturday, March 19, 2016 from 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM at the Cedar Community Hall, 2388 Cedar Road.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Bill on March 2, 2016 at his home in Nanaimo, BC. Â
Eleanor Ruth Miller (nĂŠe Taylor) We are sad to announce the passing of Eleanor Ruth Miller (nĂŠe Taylor), at the age of 92 years, on February 22, 2016 in Nanaimo, BC. Eleanor was predeceased by her husband of 55 years, Steve, in 1999 and brothers, Cliff in 1978, Bert in 1989, and Roger in 1994. Eleanor is survived by her brother, Norval Taylor of Kamloops, BC, and sister, Mayme Henning of Edson, Alberta, as well as many nieces and nephews and their families. Eleanor was born January 13, 1924 at home in the Lochinvar District in Alberta. She married Steve N. Miller August 14, 1943 in Edson, Alberta. They moved to Burmis, Alberta where Steve worked as a sawyer. From there they moved to Vancouver Island and spent many of their years in the Cowichan Valley area. They lived on the lake in Caycuse until Steve retired from the logging industry and then they moved to Ladysmith. After Steve passed away, Eleanor stayed in their house in Ladysmith until 2008 when she moved to Wexford Creek in Nanaimo. Over the years, Eleanor met many people and made many long lasting friendships. Although Steve and Eleanor did not have children of their own, they had many nephews, nieces, and friends that were like part of the family and they loved to spend time with them. Many they taught to waterski at Caycuse or took them berry picking, boating, or fishing. They always had time for anyone who stopped in for a visit, and Eleanor was quick to offer a meal. Eleanor loved horses, as she grew up on a farm in Alberta, and had many a story to tell. Through the years, Eleanor had many hobbies. She was an avid rock hound, making jewellery from many different types of rocks. She also enjoyed berry picking to make pies, jams, or jellies, as well as fishing, camping, and boating. Eleanor always loved to dress up in costume and have a good laugh. She also enjoyed researching the family history and loved to tell stories of her life. Eleanor will be greatly missed by all of her family and friends. A memorial service for Eleanor will be held at 1:00 PM on Saturday, April 2, 2016 at Sands Funeral Chapel, 1 Newcastle Ave, Nanaimo, BC. She has been laid to rest beside Steve at Cedar Valley Memorial Gardens.

VIU Mariners volleyball players Andrea Cankovic, left, Kelsey Johnson, Mikayla Wagner, Chantal Cumming and their teammates celebrate match point as they win the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association championship at Charlottetown, P.E.I.’s Holland College.
VIU wins national championship BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN
The VIU Mariners raised their game to a level that no other team could match and won the national championship. Vancouver Island University’s women’s volleyball team won gold at the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association championships in Charlottetown, P.E.I., defeating the Gar-
neau Élans in Saturday’s final, 25-18, 25-22, 20-25, 25-19. “I can’t stress how proud I am of the girls and how hard they worked,” said Shane Hyde, VIU coach. “All year long, the ups and downs we’ve had, we just got stronger and stronger.” That was the case at the tournament, as No. 6-seeded VIU had to get past the No. 3- and No. 2-ranked teams to reach the final against the No. 1-ranked Élans. Saturday’s gold-medal match played out like a heavyweight bout, said Hyde. His team won the first two sets, then Garneau took the third. But in the

decisive fourth set, the Mariners showed they had another level, winning some marathon rallies. “Every one of our players were playing out of their minds,” said Hyde. “We said all year that it would be scary what it would look like if everybody was on and that’s what happened.” Megan Rosenlund made the championship-winning kill on match point and the Mariners got to celebrate a perfect ending. “As the season went on, we started to really understand what it was like to be a Mariner and the attributes that

WOMEN’S V-BALL team knocks off top three teams.
The Nanaimo Clippers left no doubts about the outcome, won their first-round series and are moving on. The Clips defeated the Alberni Valley Bulldogs 7-3 on Friday night in Game 5 at Frank Crane Arena to win the best-of-seven series, four games to one. “Credit to those guys, they played a great series, but we’re really happy to be moving on and getting another challenge…” said Nolan Aibel, Clippers forward. “We’re looking forward to that.” The Shipmen led 2-0 after one period and then after the Bulldogs got one back in the second, Nanaimo upped its game and line after line kept the pressure up to build a 6-1 lead going into the third. “We just didn’t take our foot off the pedal there,” said Aibel. “All four lines were rolling and when you can have that, it takes pressure off all the lines and you can just keep rolling and keep getting fresh legs out there.” Aibel scored twice and Chris Dodero, Sheldon Rempal, Will Reilly, Devin Brosseau and Renwick were Nanaimo’s other scorers. Evan Johnson earned the win in goal as shots were 35-27 in favour of the Clippers. Blake Clement, Clippers assistant coach, said his team got better in different areas as the series went along. He said finishing off the opponent in five games gives his team some extra rest that it will use to its advantage. “We’re very happy for the guys, but really, it’s just one series. We’ve still got a lot of work to do,” Clement said. “But it’s a good start.” GAME ON … The Clippers will play the Powell River Kings in the Island Division finals starting Friday (March 18) at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena.

Junior B hockey season came to an end in Nanaimo as the Bucs were beaten by a better team. The Nanaimo Buccaneers lost 7-1 to the Campbell River Storm in Game 4 on Sunday at the Nanaimo Ice Centre and were eliminated, four games to none, from the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League playoffs. The Bucs actually outshot the Storm in Game 4 and maintained their effort for three periods. “I’m proud of the way the team competed all the way through the game…” said Dan Lemmon, Buccaneers coach. “We didn’t get much puck luck at the start of the game and they’re a team that capitalizes on chances and it

seemed like every chance they had, they capitalized on.” He said Campbell River play its systems well and said the Storm’s speed forced the Bucs’ defencemen to turn and chase. Those factors, along with the Storm’s firepower and goaltending, made them a tough matchup.
Nanaimo’s Jordan Levesque, playing in his final junior hockey game, scored his team’s only goal and Alex Orth suffered the loss in net. Levesque said his team showed character in its final game of 2015-16, as players didn’t give up and kept working hard. Despite the playoff elimination, the team
captain said there were successes to the season. “I don’t think we’ve ever been closer as an organization, as a team,” Levesque said. “Obviously we didn’t reach our final goal, but at the same time, I’m proud of these guys; I’m proud of what we did this year.” sports@nanaimobulletin.com
