City council asked about missed-meetings policy TaMaRa CUNNINgHaM NewS BULLeTiN
NANAIMO resident Robert Fuller wants councillors to consider a new bylaw to deal with the absence of elected officials from council meetings. Nanaimo city council agreed Monday to get a staff report on council remuneration related to attendance, after Fuller asked council to consider
attaching a bylaw to the remuneration policy on the issue of absence from council meetings. Under the B.C. Community Charter, elected officials can be disqualified from office if they miss 60 consecutive days or four regularly scheduled council meetings, whichever is longer, although the rule

doesn’t apply if absence is due to illness or injury. Fuller, who is Coun. Gord Fuller’s brother, said when one reads the Community Charter and Local Government Act, the takeaway can be that quite a bit of leeway is given before a council member or director can be disqualified from office. “Without a specific bylaw, an unscrupulous elected
official can certainly navigate through this section with virtually little impunity,” said Robert Fuller. “It’s not much of a stretch that a council member could, for example, attend two meetings, miss three, attend one meeting, miss two and so forth throughout their term in office with little to worry about.”
NANAIMO Search and Rescue wants a land lease with the City of Nanaimo after finding a place to call home. The search group is looking to build a permanent facility on civic property along Nanaimo Lakes Road, having received a million-dollar pledge from an unnamed donor whose son died at the Nanaimo River 30 years ago. City council asked for a staff report on the request during an open meeting Monday. Nanaimo Search and Rescue currently rents space at the old Harewood fire hall, which members say has issues like limited parking and storage space. The group has zeroed in on a 0.33-hectare property near the old reservoir on Nanaimo Lakes Road, suggested as an option in a preliminary meeting with city staff members. Rob Christopher, search and rescue president, and Richard Römer, building director, say the site is easily accessible for members, near training grounds and would allow volunteers to respond quickly to hot-spot areas. A renovation was considered for the fire hall, but would have required a seismic upgrade and wouldn’t have addressed parking. “We could continue to make that work,” said Christopher, of the fire hall. “I don’t think many groups have the opportunity to have a donation of this size to be able to work with their communities to have a permanent location.”

Gold medallist rides to support mental health
Park tax increase halted KARL YU News BulletiN
NICHOLAS PESCOD News BulletiN
A REGIONAL District of Nanaimo proposal for parcel tax rate hikes to pay for parkland has been halted by directors and sent for review. The regional district board was set to vote on a regional parks and trails service area amendment at its April board meeting, with $1 yearly parcel tax rate increases until 2022, as part of the 2016 budget. A rate of $14 per taxable parcel was set for 2016 and rates would have risen to $20 in 2022. Concerns were raised at a City of Nanaimo council meeting, and those were forwarded to the regional district table. After discussion, directors approved measures to keep the $14 per parcel rate for 2016, but increases up to 2022 were taken off the table. Jim Kipp, regional district director and Nanaimo city councillor, said there was inequity with the tax. “One house in Nanaimo or one apartment would pay the same fee. The apartment near me has 120 units in it, so they pay the exact same amount as myself, or the person next to me and their house, and that was felt to be [unfair],” Kipp said. Regional district staff have been directed to come back with information on the parcel tax process and to review it.
the people that use that intersection and I do believe they are going to be very disappointed if we don’t go ahead,” she said. Pratt used the intersection for about 15 years when she worked in the area and said it’s dangerous not only for drivers, but for pedestrians and cyclists. Brennan said the intersection being dangerous is the primary focus, but the costs associated with withdrawing the tender were also a concern. She said she’s also sure it’s a concern to the community that the city would withdraw a tender for a project that has been promised for years.
CYCLISTS will have the opportunity this weekend to go on a bike ride with the only Olympian in history to win multiple medals in both the Summer and Winter Games. Clara Hughes, athlete and mental health advocate, will be leading a casual 10-kilometre bike ride through the streets of Lantzville on Saturday (May 14) at 10 a.m. The event is organized by Aspengrove School and is a fundraiser for the Canadian Mental Health Association. David Hutchison, assistant head of Aspengrove School, said Hughes is an inspirational figure for kids and adults alike and that being able to ride alongside her will be special for anyone who participates. “I just think she is an incredible role model and I think it is an incredible opportunity,” he said. In recent years, Hughes has become an advocate for mental health research and ending the stigma surrounding mental health issues. She’s openly shared her story of depression and is spokeswoman for the Bell Let’s Talk campaign. Following the bike ride, Hughes will be a guest speaker at an event hosted by Aspengrove at 6 p.m. at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre. Hutchison said it’s a honour to have Hughes speak at the school’s yearly fundraising event. “Clara has overcome a lot in her life to reach those incredible heights, but I think kids and adults can hear that we all have tough times and that it is possible to achieve great things regardless,” Hutchison said. “She can add, obviously, an incredibly inspirational message.” The bike ride is not a race and participation is by donation, with 100 per cent of the proceeds going directly to CMHA, which helps fund mental health initiatives in the Nanaimo region. There will be an opportunity to meet with Hughes after the ride. Tickets to the Aspengrove gala are $150. For more information on both events, please visit www. aspengroveschool.ca/gala.

THE city will cancel a tender to improve a “dangerous” Nanaimo intersection after politicians postponed the project for up to a year. Nanaimo city council voted 6-3 at a council meeting Monday to delay improvements to the Northfield Road, Boundary Avenue and Highway 19A intersection for up to one year to see what happens with passenger rail. This is the third time the project has been postponed since 2014. A tender process, underway for the Northfield intersection
project, was expected to close this May. City staff members, however, recommended council put the work on hold for a year or until there’s more certainty about the future of rail. There are $1.5 million in rail costs tied to the intersection project, half of which would be paid by the city. Coun. Gord Fuller said he did not support spending money on something that may end up being ripped out in the near future. Coun. Ian Thorpe said he understands the
significant impacts of the railway in terms of costs to the project and given the uncertainty of rail, and wasn’t against delaying the project. But he also took issue with the recommendation to defer the project for a year or until there’s more certainty on the future of rail, which he said could take years. “I don’t want to see us put off indefinitely fixing this intersection,” said Thorpe, who considers it “very dangerous.” Mayor Bill McKay and councillors Wendy Pratt and Diane Brennan opposed the delay. Pratt wanted to see the intersection project go ahead – “we’ve put it out there, there’s a huge expectation of

A NANAIMO leadership group is looking to bridge a gap between Nanaimo’s business and indigenous communities, one book at a time. Two of seven steam-bent cedar boxes, holding books of indigenous culture and information, will circulate in the community as a traveling library this month. The idea is to give people the literature to inform, build relationships and connect to the local First Nations community with materials such as graphic novels, the final report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, and books on Indigenous cooking and protocol with elders. The project, called Toolbox for Change: A Local Perspective on Indigenous Culture, is the creation of the Mid-Island Manifestors, part of Leadership Vancouver Island, a leadership development program. According to Tara Plett, spokeswoman for the team, the group heard there was an interest in the business community in learning about reconciliation. “People under 25 are pretty much

informed, but over 25, so many people don’t know about the residential schools or the need for reconciliation or the call for it,” Plett said. “The business community is a lot of older people and so that’s a way to bridge the gap of getting the knowledge out there.” The boxes were unveiled at Shq’apthut: A Gathering Place at Vancouver Island University last week. Kait Burgan, a member of MidIsland Manifestors, described the handmade box, painted and steam bent by Coast Salish artist Joel Good, as having a continuous story that gradually works into the written knowledge in the books. The artwork depicts specific sto-
ries much like the books do, she said. “This traditional Coast Salish art form has been preserved and passed on through art through Joel’s Dad, William Good,” she said. “The artwork signifies the passing on of Indigenous knowledge, culture and education to all that wish to learn and experience it.” Good grew up in an art studio, with two artist parents including his father who he said cares about traditional stories and the meanings towards a lot of the creatures in the arts. It was Good’s idea to paint the beaver, eagle, raven, bear and wolf on the box; the creatures of the main families of all of the nations in the local area and up the coast.
“It basically represents community in a way,” said Good, who thinks the box is “pretty cool” with a lot of information that isn’t fully mainstream. The boxes will circulate between businesses this month, displayed in break rooms or lobbies for people to peruse, while another five have been sold. Businesses will also get stickers to show they are a supporter of the toolbox for change and support conversations around reconciliation. Anyone interested in borrowing a box is asked to contact the Nanaimo Aboriginal Centre by calling 250754-3215 or e-mailing info@nanaimoaborig inalcentre.ca. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Group wants home base
MS Walk to take place at park
FROM / 1
Nanaimo Search and Rescue asked the city to partner on providing a permanent home and to lease land. Christopher said when they started to work on logistics it was quickly realized although a million dollars is a lot of money, they couldn’t build a building that would suit their current needs and future needs as well as acquire land. In an interview with the News Bulletin, Christopher said a permanent home would mean they wouldn’t have to worry about hav-

ing to disrupt service to the community with another move. Before the fire hall, search and rescue stored equipment at the home of a search manager. “The hall we’re in now, it’d be semipermanent, but unfortunately plans with the city could change,” he said, also adding that it’s not safe from an earth-
quake perspective. “So if there’s a natural disaster we’d be unable to respond.” Nanaimo city councillors Jim Kipp and Wendy Pratt called the project a great idea. Coun. Bill Yoachim said the million dollar donation was amazing and he looks forward to where he can be of support.
NANAIMO residents are asked to come take a walk in the park for MS.

Ferry operators take tour of port site CLIPPER Vacations is seriously looking at a passenger ferry service between Nanaimo and Vancouver. Clipper Vacations participated in a site visit at Nanaimo’s south industrial waterfront last month, along with Fast Reliable Seaways, a global ferry and shipping group that acquired a majority interest in Clipper Vacations this year. Merideth Tall, founder and chairwoman of Clipper Vacations, said the company is committed to serving the Victoria to Vancouver route, but is also looking at other routes in the area. The City of Nanaimo and Nanaimo Port Authority issued an expression of interest for a high-speed foot ferry service between downtown Nanaimo and downtown Vancouver in April. The new process allows proponents to choose whether the service runs at the port author-
ity’s cruise ship terminal or cityowned property at 1 Port Drive. A recent site visit, also attended by Island Ferries, included tours of the two locations, city documents show. “We don’t normally comment during a tender process, but I will tell you that we’ve long looked at Nanaimo as being on a trajectory for growth and so we’re looking at this seriously,” said Tall. Her company has had a tourism model in the past, she said. It would be looking at whether it’s a fit to look at a commuter model, which is what Nanaimo is believed to be. The city will not release the number of expression of interest submissions it has until the process closes May 31. The city and port authority plan to establish an independent advisory group to recommend a preferred proponent.

Mention the word “foam” and some of the more common applications may come to mind: upholstery in couches or chairs, mattresses, cushions, safety pads, carpet underlay or pillows. In fact, foam is used in a seemingly infinite number of ways - as packaging, integral components in machinery, for medical products, protective material for fragile technology, and more. In a nutshell, open-cell foam is a cushioning product that is used in a multitude of ways, for purposes as specific as the various industries and individuals who require it. There are two key components to consider when purchasing foam: 1. Density: the density of a foam product will affect the level of support it provides, the longevity of the product itself and the feel of the foam; 2. Compression: the compression of a foam product describes the hardness or firmness of the foam. The higher the compression, the firmer/harder the foam is. As this can be a very personal preference, we recommend obtaining foam samples to determine the required compression level. Whatever your project is, our knowledge foam experts can help you find the right product to suit your needs and budget.

Distracted driving fines increased TOM FLETCHER BLACK PRESS
A FIRST offence for checking your phone while driving will cost B.C. drivers $543 when new penalties take effect June 1. The fine for distracted driving goes up from $167 to $368, and drivers will also be assessed four penalty points, triggering another $175 charge. The combination results in a total penalty of $888 for a second offence within a year of the first. B.C. Public Safety Minister Mike Morris said the new penalties put B.C. near the top of distracted driving fines for Canadian provinces. Two tickets in a year will also trigger an automatic review by the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles that could result in licence suspension. Public consultation over the past year found support for a tougher approach. “A lot of the input that we had indicated even higher penalties than that,” Morris said. Transportation Minister Todd Stone said the public awareness campaigns have not convinced enough people of the dangers of trying to use mobile phones or other devices without hands-free services. “Imagine trying to drive the length of a football field while you’re blindfolded,” Stone said. Central Saanich Police Chief Les Sylven, president of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police, reminded drivers that being at a stop light or stuck in a traffic jam does not mean the distracted driving penalties don’t apply. NDP public safety critic Mike Farnworth said the government didn’t need to take a year to increase one of the lowest distracted driving penalty systems in the country. Distracted and inattentive driving was a factor in the deaths of 66 people and injuries to 630 in B.C. in 2014. editor@nanaimobulletin.com

Fires a reminder of importance of insurance AS Fort McMurray sorts through the devastation caused by wildfire, residents elsewhere should take note. Island Savings suggests it’s the right time for Nanaimo
residents to review insurance coverage. “The threat of wildfire evacuation and, in the worst case scenario, property loss is more real than ever this year,” said Lorie
Zorn, Island Savings insurance manager, in a press release. “Anyone who is living in an area close to forested land would be wise to review their home insurance policy.”
Most home insurance policies with comprehensive coverage provide protection for losses related to forest fire, she said. See LAST-MINUTE /36

EDITORIAL
Be prepared for wildfires
Sometimes it’s hot out, and sometimes it’s burning hot. Devastating wildfire in Fort McMurray, Alta., burned down thousands of buildings and displaced thousands of people. Homes and livelihoods were lost. Economic recovery in that region is uncertain, oil and gas industry interruptions will impact the national GDP and further job losses in Fort Mac could be felt even here in Nanaimo. Fort McMurray isn’t the first community to be harmed by wildfire and it won’t be the last as climate change continues to contribute to the frequency and intensity of natural disasters. As this summer comes and goes, there will be fires closer to home. If there is wildfire here, will we be ready? The City of Nanaimo Emergency Response and Recovery Plan, updated only a few months ago, has procedures in place. But as individuals, fire probably isn’t something we think about often. We’ve got a remediated, labyrinthine dam, complete with a flood siren. We know how to cower under our furniture and then filter calmly outside for earthquake. Will we know what to do if the flames are licking at Nanaimo’s forests? A hazard risk and vulnerability assessment commissioned by the City of Nanaimo in 2014 identified wildfire as one of 21 hazards, rating the probability as moderate/likely and the potential consequences as moderate. That said, there are significant portions of the city that are at risk of interface fire, especially in south Nanaimo, areas west of the parkway and neighbourhoods surrounding the Linley Valley. There are ways to ‘fire smart’ homes with buffer zones free of fire fuel, and keeping secondary zones thinned and pruned. Some measures might be simple; others, depending on our properties and their landscaping, require greater time commitment and expense. Certainly we can avoid being the ones to start fires. That isn’t enough sometimes, because fire is catching. But we can be fire-insured, fire-drilled and fire-smart, and chances are, we’ll be safe and sound.

Nighbor said. “Instead of the residual branches and whatnot just being left aside and slashing and burning, bring more of that out and turn it into something.” The other strategy is improving forest growth. Logging operations have long been required to replant areas they cut, not just in B.C. but across Canada. A background paper from the B.C. forests ministry responds to common misconceptions about forest carbon, including the idea that logging should be stopped to maximize storage. “Maximizing carbon storage in the ecosystem would make sense only if society stopped building new homes, acquiring new furniture and consuming in general,” it says. “If the flow of forest products stops, society will turn to other products with higher greenhouse gas footprints, e.g. plastics, metal or concrete.” If Canada wants to make a bigger contribution to reducing greenhouse gases, forests are a good area to focus on. At 348 million hectares from the B.C. coast to Newfoundland, they represent nine per cent of the world’s forests. Tom Fletcher is columnist and legislature reporter for Black Press.

Departure Bay seawall not worth lighting up To the Editor,
Re: Departure Bay walkway upgraded, April 26. I suppose it is true to say that there have been some small improvements made to the original beach facility, however the price tag for this seems to be way out of whack. The whole idea behind outdoor lighting is to make a facility more usable after dark, and for this to matter the facility itself has to be an attraction in its own right. The beach is used sparingly after dark, and the walkway used even less considering that it doesn’t actually go anywhere, consequently why light it at all other than using the backlight from the street lamps? The pedestrian-level lighting itself consists of skinny poles, on which a number of expensive banners will undoubtedly be hung from time to time, together with a luminaire that boasts a modern LED light source but an architectural look that was out of date 20 years ago. The walkway lighting as a whole looks like a picket fence – way too busy. For the minimal benefit achieved for all this expenditure, I believe we could have done far better to address the lamentable state of some of Nanaimo’s secondary road surfaces.

Rail trail proponents already have a path To the Editor,
Re: Passenger rail should be reinstated, Letters, April 21. This topic gets very polarized, to the ridiculous. Turn it into a path? It is already a path, free to use at no cost. If you want a groomed sidewalk path, try the multitude of alleys and lanes skirted by the railway. Then there are also the streets for walking. All free. The Parkway Trail is never
crowded. Every time I drive the parkway I see a half-dozen at best using it. The rest of the Parkway Trail needs all these railway path supporters to prove they use paths. Now that tram idea is really sound. Make it high enough so when it’s realized its value, trains will run under the scenic tramway.

Columnist’s climate change denial problematic for readers TRUNK SHOW To the Editor,
Re: Global warming industry crying wolf, again, May 4. The columnist’s views on global warming are indicative of the whole Harper conservative approach to climate change. Perhaps he also believes that Fort McMurray burning to the ground is just another early
start to the forest fire season. Or that April wasn’t the warmest on record, or that weather records aren’t broken almost daily around the world. People are certainly entitled to their opinions. However, when those opinions are so ignorant and purport to be the truth, they become dangerous for the fact that there are
many folks out there who may actually believe him in his capacity as a columnist and legislative reporter for Black Press. The quality of your publication is reflected by the optimal placement of his opinions in the main section of your paper. There are reasons why the dinosaur Conservatives
imploded in the last election and the columnist’s opinion is a perfect example of why. If your intent was to exemplify those reasons by placing his message directly beneath a cartoon of Harper becoming unravelled, then you have succeeded. Well done.

SOCIETY HOSTS A WEEK-LONG CELEBRATION IN NANAIMO TO PROMOTE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
RACHEL STERN NEWS BULLETIN
RACHEL STERN NEWS BULLETIN
ATTITUDES in Nanaimo are shifting. The community is becoming more accepting and diverse. That wasn’t the case when Rick Myers, president of the Nanaimo Pride Society, was growing up in the city, he said. As an openly gay man, Myers said he would have been beaten up in the streets. It’s one of the reasons he moved away from the city when he was a young adult. According to the pride society’s sponsorship package, in 2000, half of Nanaimo City Council walked out of a council meeting after being asked to sign a Gay Pride Day Proclamation. In 2002, councillors still refused to sign the proclamation and in 2004 the then-mayor refused to sign, even though the rainbow flag was raised for the first time above City Hall. But the city and people have changed. “I’m hoping we embrace diversity in Nanaimo. When I grew up ... it was a very homophobic place, but it’s not anymore,” said Myers about how Nanaimo has been changing. “It’s overwhelmed me with pride and joy. I am really proud of Nanaimo. It’s come a long way.” While this is Nanaimo’s 19th Pride Week celebration, it’s the first year a Pride Parade is being held in the City. Nanaimo’s parade, held June 12, is the kickoff for West Coast celebrations happening in the province. The Nanaimo Pride Society is hosting a week-long celebration to promote diversity and inclusiveness in the community. On June 8 ,the flag raising of the rainbow flag will be held at Nanaimo City Hall with dignitaries. The pride declaration will be read and entertainment will follow. On June 10, the society is hosting events for youths including a performance showcasing the unique voices of queer youths followed by an under-18 dance, which is free. June 11 at 11 a.m. is the pet parade in Maffeo Sutton Park. There will be prizes and food. People must pre-register their pet at www.nanaimopride.org. A pride dance for adults over the age of 19, is being held June 11 at Pleasant Valley Hall starting at 8 p.m. Tickets are $17 in advance from the Nanaimo Pride Society’s website or $20 at the door. The parade starts at noon in downtown Nanaimo. It will wind its way along Front Street and end at Maffeo Sutton Park. The parade is being held in conjunction with a festival in the park that begins after the parade at 1 p.m. Admission to the festival is free. There will be a play area, food trucks, beer garden, main-stage entertainment, vendors and more. Myers said the current Nanaimo Pride Society is building on the foundation created by its predecessor, the Vancouver Island Rainbow Association. He said the society hopes to be involved in conversations about inclusiveness. The Nanaimo Pride Society is currently seeking volunteers and sponsors for Nanaimo Pride Week. For more info, please go to www.nanaimopride.org.
Rick Myers, president of the Nanaimo Pride Society, fills in the sidewalk in front of Nanaimo City Hall with colourful sidewalk chalk. The society has asked Nanaimo council to consider painting some sidewalks rainbow colours in time for the Pride Parade on June 12. RACHEL STERN / THE NEWS BULLETIN
City will look at colouring crosswalks City councillors will consider colourful crossings in downtown Nanaimo. The Nanaimo Pride Society has asked for a rainbow-coloured “pride walk” in time for the Pride Parade June 12. It’s an idea already seen in other cities like Vancouver and Victoria. Rick Myers, president of the Nanaimo Pride Society, suggested a good spot for the coloured crosswalks are at the intersection of Commercial and Bastion streets, which he said are smaller than most crossings. Nanaimo city council unanimously agreed to get a staff report on Pride Week, including the rainbow crosswalks and any other financial assistance that can be provided.

IMAGINE if Gilligan’s Island wasn’t about a group of seven people marooned on an island, but a group of 40 choristers. Now, these choristers must be unlucky, because they end up getting marooned three separate times. That’s the premise for the Tidesmen Barbershop Chorus’ upcoming show Marooned on Harmony Island. “Forty guys are washed ashore on an island and hijinks ensue,” said Mike Patterson, vice-president of marketing for the Tidesmen Barbershop Chorus. He said each spring show, the Tidesmen performance has a theme and story. The chorus also always has a guest artist. The Tidesmen will perform during the first half of the show and the guest artist will perform during the second half. During the show, members will tell stories and sing songs related to the beach, such as Under the Boardwalk. The marooned men have a few questions, such as will they meet the locals and how will they get rescued. The show includes a performance by The Squares Quartet Association. The quartet hails from Port Moody and is comprised of numerous members who perform in quartets. Patterson said the members of the quartet rotate because they aren’t available all the time, as they all have full-time jobs as well as performing for the association. Marooned on Harmony Island is Saturday (May 14) at the Port Theatre at 3 p.m. Tickets are $25 for adults, $20 for seniors and $10 for students, available in advance by calling 250-754-8550 or visiting www.portheatre.com.

Artists perform as Rat Pack Show FEATURES THE GLITZ AND GLAMOUR OF LAS VEGAS RACHEL STERN News BulletiN
THE RAT Pack members were a piece of the cultural fabric in the late 1950s and early ’60s. They were suave. They were charismatic. They were funny. And they created a legacy that lasts today. Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. were known as the leaders of the pack, but it also included Peter Lawford, Joey Bishop and later Bing Crosby. Throughout the group’s lifespan, other members also came and went. Nanaimo residents can head back to that golden era of music and comedy during the upcoming show The Rat Pack: Direct from Vegas, presented by CKM Productions, at the Port Theatre on May 20 at 7:30 p.m. Attendees can expect comedy, singing and storytelling at the event. The Nanaimo show also features the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas showgirls. “The showgirls are beautiful and professional. They are Vegas,” said Melanie Ehrlich, marketing director for CKM Productions. She said the addition of showgirls, into the Rat Pack tribute act, is something that many people comment on. Christian Tannis, producer of the Rat Pack, said the show offers a release from reality. Ehrlich and Tannis are siblings. “We grew up listening to that kind of music,” said Tannis. He said the family watched all the movies and sang all the songs the Rat Pack members made popular. “We’ve always been a musical family. It’s in

Ehrlich pursued a career in media and Tannis went on to manage stage productions and choreograph tribute shows in Las Vegas, Philadelphia, Cincinnati and other cities. Ehrlich said the company plans to bring more of these sort of acts to Vancouver Island in the future including tributes to Tom Jones, Michael Jackson and others.

Beth Wakan, Nanaimo’s poet laureate, in a press release. “The sepia of nostalgia creeps like a mist over these poems, yet the sharpness of his memories, imagined or otherwise, keeps the reader from lulling into complacency by asking that we confront, time and time again, our own human frailties and our own mortality.” Fraser lives in Nanoose and is the founder and editor of Ascent Aspirations magazine He is also a founder of Wordstorm, Nanaimo’s spokenword series.

Victoria Brass band performs with Malaspina Choir SPRING CONCERT features the voices of more than 50 choristers KATHRYN-JANE HAZEL
WHEN you’re a member of a brass quintet, it’s important to follow the dictum of Spiderman when accompanying a choir, said Stevan Paranosic, founder of The Victoria Brass. “With great power comes great responsibility,” he said, adding that means when you’re performing with a choir you have to be careful not to drown them out. The 50-plus voices of Malaspina Choir will trumpet their sound along with The
Victoria Brass and organist Peter Orme at St. Andrew’s United Church. They are performing in the choir’s spring concert, Gloria, featuring John Rutter’s Gloria and Dvorak’s Mass in D Major on Saturday (May 14) at 7:30 p.m. at the church, located at 311 Fitzwilliam St. Paranosic formed The Victoria Brass eight years ago because he wanted to create a group of brass instrumentalists who consistently
the audience as to what brass can do,” said Paranosic, adding Rutter’s Gloria demonstrates this, as it has something traditional and something new. Rutter originally wrote the piece for eight brass instruments and an organ,
so the version performed in Nanaimo, with just five, is unique. It also gives the brass an opportunity to show its lyrical side. “It’s almost like three choirs, with the organ, brass and choir alternating. The special challenge is
keeping a balance between the delicate and the loud,” said Paranosic. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for attendees under the age of 25 and will be available at the door or by calling 250-7548550 or visiting www. porttheatre.com.

Does the joke change depending on who is telling it? “You can joke about anything you want as long as you are doing it with awareness and adding to the conversation,” said Emma Cooper, a former Nanaimo resident and show co-producer. Cooper said the comedy show is done in a sensitive matter, and all the comedians are survivors. “When survivors
are joking about our own experiences, it’s empowering,” said Cooper. She said the show is about creating conversations in communities. The show is Monday (May 16) from 8-10 p.m. at Harbour City Theatre, located at 25 Victoria Rd. The show is for audience members 19 plus. Tickets are $15 and are available in advance from www. rapeisreal.com. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Fiesta fits a lot into eco-friendly package Who would have bet that Ford would ever offer not just one but two different turbocharged engines in its smallest car? For 2014, the regular 1.6-litre four-cylinder with 120 horsepower was joined by two optional turbocharged powerplants. The first was Ford’s global 1.0-litre turbocharged EcoBoost threecylinder, which was the first three-cylinder engine sold in North America in decades. With 123 horsepower, it doesn’t beat the base car by much, but it’s the 148 pound-feet of torque that makes the difference. The official fuelconsumption numbers show 7.5 litres per 100 kilometres in the city and 5.5 on the highway, significant improvements over the 8.5/6.5 in the base model. Both engines share the same fivespeed manual transmission, but there isn’t an automatic option for the EcoBoost.
At the other end of the spectrum, the Fiesta ST delivers more of the thrills and smiles generated by its larger Focus ST cousin. It uses the 1.6-litre EcoBoost four-cylinder found in the Escape tall wagon, only with more juice for a total of 197 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque. The ST is the only Fiesta to boast a six-speed manual transmission, which mixes nicely with the sporttuned suspension, 17-inch wheels with performance tires, four-wheel disc brakes and all kinds of electronic assists. The ST sits at the top of the Fiesta hierarchy with unique seats, body kit and colours to differentiate its hatchback silhouette. The standard content continues with features such as air conditioning, a tilt and telescoping steering wheel, power locks and mirrors, fourspeaker sound system, hands-free capless fuel filler plus a cabin filled with airbags.
Cadillac sport-ute impresses FROM /19
The Ford Fiesta hatchback is fun to drive.
This compact shifter unit allows a large storage space under the centre console in the cabin. The first stage of our Cadillac XT5 test drive route, took us over a tight two-lane mountain road with steep dropoffs, intimidating rock faces, lots of switchback and spectacular views. The early morning gut tester of a drive certainly helped showcase the impressively agile and predicable handling abilities of the XT5. A new Caddy always comes packed with new technology and the XT5 doesn’t disappoint, especially if you splurge for a higher trim version. The advanced ‘twin clutch’ all-wheel drive system is now capable of transferring up to 100 per cent of available torque to either the front or rear axle and/or to either rear wheel, via an electronically controlled rear differential. There’s also a new drivercontrolled ‘disconnect’ feature that disables the rear drive unit. Improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions are the benefits of operating in this frontdrive mode.

When the Cherokee name returned three years back, Jeep must have been rather confident about its efforts, because even for 2016 there’s nothing but minor changes to report. Although contentious with some critics, the Cherokee has some seriously modern sculpting going on. All by itself, the pinched and pointy-nose grille says plenty about the risk that Jeep’s designers took. Then there are the eyelet headlights that would have been impossible to imagine on any production car, Jeep or otherwise. The interior is also as modern as the outside, although now includes reshaped front seats, a revised instrument cluster and tilt steering column that’s easier to use. All but the most basic Cherokee models feature 12.5- or 21.5-centimetre touch-screens (depending on the trim level) that operate climate,

In the Cherokee’s case, ordering the V6 provides a 2,045-kilogram towing capacity. Both engines are connected to nine-speed automatic transmissions, which is the first use of that gear changer in any Chrysler
communications and infotainment systems. Base models get a Fiat-designed 184-horsepower 2.4-litre four-cylinder. Optional is a 271-horsepower 3.2-litre V6 that’s a subset of Chrysler’s 3.6-litre V6.
product. Front-wheel-drive is the norm, but buyers can choose from three different four-wheel-drive setups, depending on trim level. Active Drive I, optional in the Sport, North and Limited editions, is a single-speed unit that kicks in automatically whenever tire slip is detected. Active Drive II, also available in the same models, comes with a two-speed transfer case that’s designed for off-road use with either the four- or six-cylinder engines. For rock crawling and boulder hopping, Active Drive Lock, as the name implies, locks up the rear differential in low range. This system is standard in the Cherokee Trailhawk, which is a ‘Trail Rated’ rig outfitted with an off-road suspension (increases ride height by 2.5 centimetres), skid plates, unique alloy wheels with all-terrain rubber, blacked-out trim and a full-size spare tire.

Captain America drives an Audi by Keith Morgan Audi and Marvel Entertainment have teamed up once again for the release of Marvel’s newest blockbuster, Captain America: Civil War, released last week. The decade-long collaboration continues the Audi brand’s commitment to one of Hollywood’s biggest franchises, with multiple models from the luxury carmaker featuring in the film. An advertising and marketing campaign is now underway following the movie’s recent world premiere in Los Angeles, attended by actor Chris Evans, who plays the superhero. The Audi ad campaign includes an exclusive digital video, directed by the film’s directors Anthony and Joe Russo. It previews a pivotal scene featuring the all-new Audi SQ7. “Even as the mighty Avengers break into Civil War, their affinity for bestin class, high performance and state of the art technology in their vehicles ties them together,” said Loren Angelo, director of marketing with Audi of America. “Audi is excited to be a mainstay for the Marvel franchise and to support their cast of superheroes

with a fleet of superior Audi vehicles.” While the Avengers’ universe is fractured as we know it, the car company supports superheroes on both sides of the divide with all-new models. Captain America debuts the SQ7, while his adversary, Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) finds himself once again behind the wheel of the R8 V10 plus Coupe supercar.
said Anthony Russo, who co-directed the film. Making its Hollywood debut is the Audi prologue show car as the model of choice for Chadwick Boseman’s character, Black Panther/T’Challa. Emily VanCamp as Agent 13 sports the all-new Audi A4 and Zemo, played by Daniel Brühl, drives the A7 Sportback.
“We’re always trying to ride the line in these movies between something that is set in our real, present day world, but at the same time feels special and forward thinking – just a little out of reach. So to be able to work with a company like Audi and have access to their current models and their most advanced designs, it helps us strike that right balance between real world and the future.”

Audrey Schmid
Jan. 12, 1930 - Apr. 17, 2016 We are sad to announce that Audrey passed away peacefully April 17, 2016 with her daughters by her side in the Nanaimo Regional Hospital. Audrey was predeceased by her husband Ray Schmid, son Paul Rothwell and her sister Brenda. She leaves behind her daughters Colleen Rothwell (Don Enright), Denise Brown (Larry) grandchildren Tim Wiege, Teresa Dalman, Darcy Brown (Amber), Kristie LaFortune (Justin), Carly Farrington (Blair), Courtenay Rothwell (Rob Howard), Gordon Rothwell (Janelle Slonski), Brooklyn Rothwell, 9 great grandchildren and 2 great great grandchildren. She also leaves behind nieces Karen Craven, Chris Logan, Lisa Micklethwaite and brother-in-law Phil Micklethwaite. Audrey was born in Barnsley England and immigrated to Canada with her first husband Don Rothwell in 1957. She did many jobs over her lifetime retiring as food supervisor at the Yuculta Lodge in Campbell River. She then opened a Deli with husband Ray before retiring again and moving to Parksville and then to Nanaimo where she resided for the rest of her life. Audrey was a beautiful person inside and out. She loved to make people laugh and entertain us with her stories of growing up in England. She was a member of many card groups priding herself with winning quite often. Audrey loved her trips to Reno with Ray and later with her daughters Colleen and Denise. The family would like to thank Dr. Gwen BruceHoule for her excellent care over the last few years, Dr. A. Baird, the nurses on the 4th floor and the wonderful nurses on the palliative care ward in the Nanaimo Hospital. There will be a celebration of life May 22, 2016 at the Branch 10 Legion, 129 Harewood Road, Nanaimo.

The family would like to thank the nurses and staff at Nanaimo Seniors Village for their care and compassion during mom’s stay. There will be a private family service at a later date. In lieu of flowers, any donations to the Canadian Alzheimer’s Society or Canadian Diabetes Society would be appreciated.
MAX RYBERG “The Cod Father”

Stephen Miller May 15, 1918 – May 6, 2016 Our father passed away peacefully after a courageous battle with old age. He didn’t quite make his 98th birthday, but he was oh, so close. Dad was born in Winnipeg, MB to Margaret & William Millar, outliving his six other siblings: Bill, Jean, Mary, Margaret,Lloyd and Jim. The family was dirt poor growing up in the 20’s and 30’s and Dad always said they were too poor to even give him a middle name. Dad met Mom (Florence) at a skating rink in Manitoba in 1939 and they were married for an incredible 71 ½ years. They always said the secret to the longevity of their marriage was their close relationship with their kids: Steve (Karen) from Edmonton; Fay (Tom) from West Kelowna; Judy (Randy) from Nanoose Bay and Lori (Kevin) from Calgary. They also had 7 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren. Dad was in the Air Force during the war and he and Mom then owned a grain farm in Dugald, MB for 10 years. They were incredibly poor on that farm – living without plumbing or electricity in the depths of frigid Manitoba winters. After selling the farm in 1956, Dad worked in the retail farm equipment industry for the rest of his career, beginning with selling tractors for Massey Ferguson and ending as the Canadian and Western USA manager for Hesston Industries. Dad retired at 62 and he and Mom spent summers in Kelowna and winters in Arizona. In 2005, Dad and Mom moved to Nanaimo. Mom developed dementia and Dad was her care giver until her passing in 2013. One would think that at age 97, a person’s mental capabilities might diminish somewhat. Not our Dad. He continued to send emails every day, check his bank balances online and keep up with both Canadian and US politics. He loved to hate the Canadian Senate; Stephen Harper could do no wrong and that “young twerp” Trudeau could do no right! Dad was one of the kindest, friendliest, sweetest people on earth. He loved the caregivers, dining room and housekeeping staff at Nanaimo Seniors Village and they loved him back. He had a quick wit and he used to boast that 64 women came to his room every month to see him. Dad was very proud of his age, despite the pain and diminished mobility he suffered in later years. During his last few weeks in hospital, many nurses, care aides and Doctors commented on how lucky we were to have such a gracious, kind father. We know that in spades. Thank you to everyone who touched his life – we know he will have touched yours. We will celebrate his life on his 98th birthday – just the way he would have liked it.

Beefs & bouquets BEEF To the thrift store clerk. Your response to my ‘late’ donation was uncalled for and very ungrateful. You should not be working the front line in the store until you learn proper customer service.
BOUQUET To the City of Nanaimo workers for the good work maintaining the trails through Diver Lake Park. Our property backs onto the park and I have enjoyed walking there for 36 years. BEEF To dirty business practices. Registering a competitor’s successful company’s exact name domain and having it forwarded to your own domain to mislead patrons and steal business is immoral, unethical and just plain dirty business.
BOUQUET To United Way Impact Council volunteers who spent many hours reviewing grant applications to best determine where to invest our community fund, based on local social issues like homelessness, early childhood development, mental health and supporting seniors. BEEF To the person who entered my car while I was on a night shift and took my coat and identification. Real class act. Why can’t we all live and let live.
BOUQUET To the gentleman at the Country Club bus exchange who stopped traffic and gave me a chance to pick myself up after I slipped on wet pavement and crashed my bike, as well as the bus driver and others who stopped to make sure I was all right. BEEF To the man at Pipers Lagoon who ruined my morning by telling me off after your dog was swimming and chasing sticks. Perhaps you should have your dog under control instead of leaving it unattended while it was harassing us.

BEEF To the city’s parks and rec department. Posted site rules at Maffeo Sutton Park are not being followed, like bike riders are not always dismounting at the pedestrian bridge, not all dogs are on their leashes and there are indications of illegal drinking.
BOUQUET To my tourism professors at VIU. You helped me through the hardest time of my life and ensured I passed all my classes. Thank you Pete, Tom, Rob, Peter and Aggie. Also to my classmates who didn’t treat me like an alien and were always there for me.
BEEF To drivers who still do not use their turn signals. It’s nice to have a heads-up on your intention. It’s also the law for changing lanes when safe to do so.
BOUQUET To the two gentlemen who came to my assistance after I fell on the split level floor at Haz Beans coffee shop. And to my BFF Cathie.
BOUQUET To Ann and Jim Fiddick for your awesome eggs and caring service. Thank you for letting me meet the new chicks, and for being such wonderful neighbours.
BEEF To the adopters of a kitten for returning her for scratching your beloved furniture. She’s a kitten. Your perfect pet is waiting for you, stuffed, at the local toy store.
BEEF To liars and fake people. Thanks for showing your true colours. A beef to me for taking so long to realize.
BOUQUET To the whole army of church volunteers during National Volunteers Week. BEEF To the hotel for serving an eviction notice to a terminally ill cancer resident. Have you no decency?
BOUQUET To all the volunteers who help make our annual PPWC Local 8’s Hockey Tournament a huge success. A special thanks to Fountain Tire, for its donation of its barbecue, and to Roger Paquette from Hub City Fisheries. BEEF To management of the auto parts store for not only not knowing the labour laws, but being understaffed and treating their employees like garbage.
BOUQUET To the gentleman outside Country Grocer who offered to help load my groceries into the car and to all gentlemen who hold doors open for me. I for one am glad that the city is outraged at someone complaining at a man for having the good manners to open a door for her disabled daughter.

Last-minute fire insurance too late FROM / 9
However, Zorn said many people don’t often review their coverage levels and may need to consider revising their policies to prevent significant out-of-pocket expenses in case of wildfire. “In the event an evacua-
tion notice is issued, insurance clients will not be able to add comprehensive coverage or make any policy changes until the notice is lifted,” said Zorn. “It’s better to act now and ensure you’re adequately covered rather than leave anything to chance.”
Those who aren’t under evacuation notice or are not near an active fire can change their policy coverage at any time. Zorn suggests residents living in areas likely to be impacted by a fire should contact their insurance advisor to review their policies. viu.ca

Roller derby makes return to Nanaimo
Boxer focused on next punch
GREG SAKAKI News BulletiN
DASHON (FLYBOY) JOHNSON will fight in main event of Rumble at the Rink 2 caRd this fRiday (may 13) GREG SAKAKI News BulletiN
FIGHTING in Nanaimo turned his fortunes around, and maybe that can happen again. Dashon (Flyboy) Johnson, from San Diego, arrived in Nanaimo earlier this week for his final stretch of training in advance of a big fight this Friday (May 13). Johnson (19-19-3) will be up against Victor Manuel Palacios (1311-2) of Guadalajara, Mexico, in the main event of Rumble at the Rink 2. “I’m excited about putting on a great performance on Friday night,” Johnson said. Nanaimo feels like his second home, he said, and it’s understandable why that is. He endeared himself to the crowd at the first Rumble at the Rink a year ago, earning a unanimous-decision victory that halted a lengthy losing streak. “That momentum and everything, feeling the love from the crowd and from everybody in Nanaimo, it put me in a different mindset,” he said. And a different fighter emerged from the ring that night.
Three months after his Nanaimo win, Johnson won the California State super welterweight title against a 9-1 opponent. Two months after that, he won the World Boxing Council’s North American super middleweight title against a 20-1-1 fighter. Two months later, he beat a 14-3 opponent who had 14 knockouts. Continuing to seek greater challenges, he was finally stopped in January in Philadelphia by an undefeated fighter. “Now it’s time to get back on track, just like it was before,” Johnson said. “It started here; it’s going to start here again and I’m going to keep moving.” He doesn’t know a lot about Palacios, but respects all his opponents, knowing one punch can change anything. “I’ll go out there like I do with any other opponent, feel him out, and when it’s time to explode, I’ll explode,” Johnson said. “I’m going for a knockout. A win by decision, a win by anything [else], I’m not going to be satisfied for

me at this point in my career, in my life right now.” He embraces the idea of being a main eventer and wants to put on a great performance that gets people talking about boxing. With more than 40 fights’ experience, he doesn’t get nervous anymore. He feels different emotions – determination, a sense of peace that boxing is
what he does and what he does well. He feels blessed to be able to compete. “Before every fight I cry,” Johnson said. “I don’t cry because I’m scared; I don’t cry because I don’t want to be here or anything like that. I cry because I always think about everything I’ve been through, who I’m fighting for, where I’ve come from.”
GAME ON … The Rumble at the Rink 2 professional boxing card, consisting of six bouts, will be held Friday (May 13) at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena. Tickets will be available at the door at a cost $20, or $60 for floor seats. For more information about tickets or the show, please visit www.gloved-up. com. sports@nanaimobulletin.com
IT’S the most fun that can be had on a pair of roller skates, and it’s back in Nanaimo. Roller derby returns this week as the Harbour City Rollers play their first home bout of the season on Saturday (May 14) when they face the Vancouver Bad Reputations. The Rollers were big winners two weeks ago on the road against the Victoria Belles of the Ball, and Amber Sparks, Rollers player, said her team is looking competitive and is honing its strategies. Playing on their home floor at the Nanaimo Ice Centre, the Rollers will be looking to impress friends, family and fans, she said. “We definitely are trying to get more awareness out to people in Nanaimo, because nobody really hears of it and when they do, they’re like, ‘yeah, I’d like to see that,’ but they’ve never been to a game.” Sparks said roller derby is fast-paced, and even spectators unfamiliar with the sport will get caught up in it. She hopes the community will get behind the hometown team. “We are your friends and family, police officers, bartenders … your next-door neighbour that is playing in the game,” she said. GAME ON … The Rollers take on the Bad Reps on Saturday at the NIC at 7 p.m. Admission is $5, or free for children. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

VIBI goes to nationals College ball team Competes in Kelowna GREG SAKAKI News BulletiN
THE Mariners have momentum at the right time of year. Nanaimo’s Vancouver Island Baseball Institute is in Kelowna today (May 12) for the start of the Canadian College Baseball Conference championships. “There’s some good energy on the club,” said Jordan Blundell, the team’s manager. VIBI won three out of four games on the final weekend of the regular season, amassing more than 15 hits in two of those wins. “We’re kind of hoping we didn’t use them all up,”
VIBI Mariners infielder Carver Krafchuk fields a grounder and throws to first. the news bulletin
Blundell joked. Joking aside, the M’s feel like their progress has continued throughout the season, getting them to this stage. “We’re trying to get to the point where we can put it all together and get the good hitting with the good pitching and the good defence all rolled into the same game and we’ve been working towards that all
year,” Blundell said. There have been growing pains with a young roster, the manager said. “Throughout the year, we’ve prepared them for what’s to come and hopefully they can just relax and leave it on the field and see what happens.” GAME ON … VIBI starts the tourney tonight against the Okanagan Coyotes. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Physical activity key to long, happy and healthy life By Dr. Azim Jamal For the first time in our nation’s history we have more people over 65 than under 15. With an increasing aging population, it’s more important than ever of seniors to consider the key elements of a long, healthy and happy life – one of these being physical activity. Physical activity is important at any age; however, as we get older it becomes increasingly important for health durability, mental health and overall quality of life. Research shows that people who are active have a lower risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, depression and even dementia. Regular exercise in old age has as powerful effect on life expectancy, and an increase in physical activity is directly associated with better health and a longer life. Through the aging process, it’s important to listen to your body and exercise at a rate that challenges you, but doesn’t exert you. Physical activity is classified as anything that gets your body moving. This can range from walking and gardening, to an exercise class, to basic arm exercises while seated in a chair. Ideally, research suggests that seniors you should try to do something physical every single day, even just for ten minutes. Remember, certain activities should be practiced under the supervision of a health care professional to ensure safety. As I previously mentioned, research shows that physical exercise can assist in warding off disease, and also act as a tool for prevention. In fact, for some cases, exercise is used as an effective form of

treatment for chronic conditions. For example, elders who struggle with arthritis, high blood pressure and carpal tunnel will reap benefits – including delaying symptom onset, through methods of appropriate exercise. Physical activity has also been shown to manage stress and improve your mood – this can be very important when transitioning into a retirement community, and being faced with new situations. When you exercise, endorphins are produced and released, resulting in good feelings and a positive mindset. This frame of mind can also help to manage ongoing symptoms of illness or pain. Care communities have dramatically evolved over the last decade, some of these significant changes surround the integration of time allotted for physical activity. These adjustments have been made based on science, research and of course, the ever-growing demand from seniors who are looking to remain active to maintain their lifestyle. Often times, seniors opting to live at home do not receive the same level of support for physical activities as they would in a care home, where professional health care
providers administer and oversee the various exercises. At Retirement Concepts, we understand and value the importance of physical activity, that’s why we have exercise opportunities ranging from chair yoga to cycling to weight classes at all of our communities. We also have Rehab Aides who assist client in walking long distances, leg and arm exercises and other therapies. Our residents are also assessed to be appropriately healthy by professional therapy staff. Regardless of your level of physical activity, there is truly something for everyone – resulting in our residents experiencing the priceless benefits of exercise and maintaining their health throughout the aging process. Dr. Azim Jamal is a doctor and President and CEO of Retirement Concepts.

So time now to review year-end awards from the various men’s leagues… Following final games of the year, a men’s awards night was held at the Nanaimo Curling Centre. One of the organizers was Frank Voysey, coordinator of the Tuesday night men’s league this past season. He sends word

The Thursday night men’s league featured a 16-team round-robin prior to teams being split into A and B squares for the final portion of the season. Skip Craig MacRae was a double winner. MacRae and his team of Louis Cavezza, Paul Merkel and Tom
Weinreich not only captured first place in the round-robin, but also won the aggregate title.

Finishing first in B square competition was the team of Darren Horton, Al Jensen, Rob Williams and Gary Noble. Following the end of league play, a

mini cash spiel was held for Tuesday and Thursday men’s teams. In the A event final, the Voysey squad posted a 7-2 win over Ian Cook and his team of Dave Fraser, Ross Barnard, Lee Venables and Gerry Roy. The B event final resulted in a win for skip Bailey and his teammates Aaron Kirkbride, Adam Coronica and Kevin Turner. The Bailey foursome were 6-2 winners over the team of Mac Pawliuk, Russ Pawliuk, Todd Belton and Dhillon McKinley. This year’s men’s club championship playoffs involved top teams from the Tuesday and Thursday leagues. The final came down to the defending-champion Mike Kenefick team from Tuesday league against Adams squad from the Thursday
league and it was an entertaining matchup. After trailing 6-2 after four ends, the Kenefick team rallied to tie the game after seven, only to see Adams respond by scoring a hard-earned point in the final end for a 7-6 victory. Others on the club championship Adams team were Thorpe, Gummer, Gallo and Howk. Teamed with Kenefick were Bob Palynchuk, Bill Millward and Mike Pepin. In a future column we’ll wrap up curling with a review of award winners from mixed leagues as well as the senior men and senior ladies’ leagues. Whatever your sport, a reminder in closing to play your hardest, play fair, and show good sportsmanship.

Mariners add U.S. recruits THE VIU Mariners are making sure they’ve got the pieces in place to take another run at at title. Vancouver Island University’s men’s basketball team announced this week the signing of two Americans who are expected to be key players for the M’s in 2016-17. Hayden Hall, a 6-foot-6 wing player from Clark College in Vancouver, Wash., and Jalen Schlegel, a 6-foot-8 forward from Chemeketa College in Salem, Ore., will join the Mariners program. Matt Kuzminski, VIU coach, said Hall is a good shooter. “He’s a quality team guy who’ll be able to space the floor, fit into our system and play well. He can do a variety of things on the court.” Schlegel will play an important role, as the M’s will need help in the paint this season. “We needed some size; [centre Jerod Dorby]’s going to be off for a year here, so we needed to get some help up front and Jalen will provide us with some of that…” Kuzminski said. “For a big guy, he’s not your typical power forward or bruiser-type guy, he’s a bit more of a faceup big who will be a skilled passer in our offence and be able to handle the ball a little bit. “I think we were hoping to get some versatility and these guys will help us in that area.” Guard John Thompson is moving on from the program, but all-star forward Josh Ross, another American, will be back to lead the returning core. Kuzminski continues to build recruiting relationships in the U.S. “I think the success that we’ve had has helped our case, especially the success of the guys who have come up, he said.” sports@nanaimobulletin.com
