Comeback win V.I. Raiders score 13 points in second half to upset Langley Rams.

TUESDAY, JULY 28, 2015 www.nanaimobulletin.com VOL. 27, NO. 23

BY GREG SAKAKITHE NEWS BULLETIN

The course may have changed, but the champion remained the same.

Nathan Barlow won the Great International World Championship Bathtub Race on Sunday in Nanaimo harbour. It was the fourth time Barlow has won the great race, but the first time that he got to ring the bell at the new finish line at Maffeo Sutton Park.

“It’s nice to be the first one to do it,” he said. “It’s something new.”

Barlow finished the course in his super-mod-ified tub No. 240 in one hour, 15 minutes, 24 sec-onds, a little over a minute ahead of the second- and third-place finishers. Justin Lofstrom was third to the beach but was second to ring to the bell, just barely edging out Shawn Lamou-reux.

Lamoureux led until about halfway through the race, when Barlow passed him for good.

“I couldn’t keep up with him on the way there, but he couldn’t keep up with me on the way back,” Bar-low said.

The race course was choppiest from Entrance Island to Maude Island.

“Nothing ridiculous,” Bar-low said. “Rough enough that you can beat yourself up real good, but not rough

enough to slow down.”The al tered course

required a little closer attention for the veteran tubbers.

“You kind of know in gen-eral where you’re aiming for, but you want to make sure,” said Barlow. “[At] Maude Island, Shawn was a little bit in front of me. So you didn’t have to think too much, you just let him do the navigating.”

Deisy Garcia was the first female to finish and said she was stoked about the achievement. It was the first time the 14-year-old had entered the great race, and she joked that if

those were calm seas, she wondered what rough seas must be like.

“I got hit by a few waves sideways, [but] my boat was great. I didn’t feel that much,” she said.

David McHardy of Surrey won the modified division and John Booker of New Zealand was the stock win-ner. Nanaimo tubber Jaime Garcia provided a boat for Booker, and the New Zea-lander gave it its first sea trial a day before the great race.

“Conditions were really nice for racing,” Booker said. “It was really smooth, it was a really sweet run.”

He won the trip to Nanaimo by winning a bathtub race back home.

“I’ve had an absolutely amazing time. Everyone’s really looked after me…” Booker said. “It’s an awe-some place. You guys have got a really special place out here on the Island.”

Dan Faux won the sports-manship award, Jamie Skip-per was the Last Place Fin-isher and Jamie Westphal took the Silver Plunger award for being the first tub to sink.

Colliery dam protesters are preparing to block the lower Colliery dam remediation proj-ect.

Dams Direct Action Group president Dave Cutts announced Friday that his group will not stand by and allow trees to be cut, nor a massive trench to be blasted through the park.

Cutts, reading a press release from his activ-ist group, said the city has been railroaded by the provincial government into a “costly, destructive and needless project.” His group is prepared to take a stand with measures that include blocking access and camping, and will be inviting activists from other parts of the province to get engaged. Burnaby Mountain, which saw protests last year, is the “perfect example” of the kind of action they will take, Cutts said.

“We’re not there just to make a show,” he said. “We’re there to stop the mowing down of those trees. If they don’t take down those trees, they don’t dig a trench.”

The protest announcement isn’t unexpected for Nanaimo Mayor Bill McKay, who said the City of Nanaimo will have to take whatever steps necessary to ensure work gets done to comply with the comptroller’s orders.

City council unanimously agreed last week to remediate the lower Colliery dam with an aux-iliary spillway, estimated to cost between $2.8 million and $4.8 million. The work is estimated by Golder Associates to see 27 trees removed, according to Toby Seward, the city’s acting general manager of community development and protective services, who says the goal is to landscape the area as much as possible after construction is complete.

The city expects to be in a position to tender the project by Sept. 1, and must be near com-plete remediation of the lower dam by mid-November to meet a provincial order.

Nanaimo’s Nicol Street is about to go from highway to high street.

Block Builders Nanaimo, a grassroots group of south-end residents, wants to give the public a peek into the poten-tial of Nicol Street with a one-day event this September.

The roadway, from Espla-nade to Petroglyph Park, is a gateway into Nanaimo and a four-lane highway built to move large amounts of traf-fic efficiently, according to the south-end neighbourhood plan. There’s no on-street parking or pedestrian cross-ings between Milton Street and Esplanade and storefronts have seen better days.

City planners and residents want to see it become some-thing better – a retail street that’s pedestrian friendly and has high-density housing; an area where people can get produce and perogies and sit down for coffee.

On Sept. 20 Block Builders Nanaimo hopes to nudge along the dream with My Street, an event to transform the high-way into a thriving high street of pop-up stores, vendors, food trucks and music.

Sydney Robertson, a block builder, said it’s the work behind the scenes she finds

most important. Volunteers will clear out garden beds, paint buildings, fences and concrete walls, and reach out to businesses about filling vacant spaces.

“Even with the little bits of painting we did last weekend, we’re finding that it’s actually making people believe they can make a change. It’s giv-ing people some hope,” said Robertson, who believes the challenges of the area can feel overwhelming. “Sometimes we only think in terms of big, expensive development when there’s a lot we can do right on the street level.”

The five-member group will be looking to get one lane each way closed to allow for park-ing.

Pam James, a member of Block Builders Nanaimo, said

her group wants to make the front door to the city more attractive. The area has a lot of absentee landlords, who buy property with the belief something will happen in 20 years. “Well, we want to make it happen now,” she said.

Chris Sholberg, city culture and heritage planner, said My Street is an interesting idea used in other parts of North America, like Dallas, Texas.

“It’s all about envisioning what a space can be, even just for a day, and hoping that may lead to longer-term ideas of investment and change,” he said.

The event takes place Sept. 20 from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Vol-unteers, vendors and musi-cians can contact organizers at [email protected].

Members of Nanaimo Paddlers prevented what could have been a life-threatening situation last week.

The kayakers were paddling near Jesse Island in Departure Bay at about 11:30 a.m. Tuesday when they passed a family pad-dling in plastic kayaks. Moments later they heard a cry for help.

“I heard, ‘Oh, there’s somebody in the water,’” said Sylvia Hazewinkel. “I hadn’t seen it, but we turned around and there was a boat upside down.”

A boy, about nine years old, was in the water. He had a life jacket on and was planning to swim to shore. Hazewinkel’s group helped the boy get to a small island, retrieved his swamped kayak and emptied the water out of it.

“This family did not have any emergency gear whatsoever,” Hazewinkel said.

She said the family was visiting from Alberta and their accom-modations made plastic kayaks, commonly sold in department stores, available to guests.

Christina Sharun, coxswain with Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue Station No. 27 Nanaimo, said she can recall sev-

eral instances when people have gotten into trouble with plastic watercraft.

“One of the big issues with that type of boat is they don’t have either sealed bulkheads or additional inherent flotation, so if they tip over they do fill with water and it can become a dan-gerous situation pretty quickly,” Sharun said.

Even in summer, water tem-peratures around Nanaimo are cold enough to trigger hypothermia.

“You have to have a decent respect for the water and the conditions and make sure you’re prepared for any situation,” Sharun said.

Transport Can-ada requires mini-mum safety equip-ment for all water-craft to carry life-jackets, a bailing

device, a whistle, buoyant rope and other gear.

“You can get a ticket for not having that stuff with you and [the RCMP] are out on the water checking pretty regularly,” Sha-run said.

Transport Canada offers com-plete online boating safety guide, including section on kayak safety and lists of required safety equip-ment on its website at www.tc.gc.ca/publications.

Vancouver Island University is expected to use $1 million from the federal government to enhance hands-on training for trades students.

The university will use the Western Diversifi-cation Program money to purchase equipment for a mobile forestry skills training program. It is expected to benefit students associated with the forest industry, including hand fallers, logging truck drivers and forestry technicians.

“What it will be is a truck and a trailer and it will house a number of simulators from load building equipment-type simulators to forestry simulators, so the truck could have anywhere from six to eight simulators in it. The simula-tors are quite real-life, they actually move,” said Glynis Steen, interim dean of trades and applied technology.

The university is currently researching and shopping around and it is anticipated the truck, trailer and simulators will be on site by late December.

Expect to see Coast Realty Group’s signs come down from real estate offices.

Royal LePage Real Estate Ser-vices announced Tuesday it acquired Coast Realty Group bro-kerage and property management business on Vancouver Island.

Coast Realty will begin oper-ating under the Royal LePage banner, effective immediately. In Nanaimo the company will oper-ate under Royal LePage Nanaimo Realty.

Barry Clark, broker owner of Royal LePage Nanaimo Realty with Travis Carmichael, will merge the brokerage with Coast Realty Group offices in Nanaimo, Ladysmith and Gabriola Island.

Clark said it’s a positive move and will double the number of

realtors to 80 from 40 under Royal LePage Nanaimo Realty.

The merger also triples the com-pany’s regional market share.

“Nanaimo Realty’s been in busi-ness 68 years and Royal LePage has been in business 100 years,” Clark said. “It’s a good Canadian company and it’s very aggressive. The franchise is the fastest-grow-ing franchise in Canada. We’re proud to be a part of it and mov-ing forward.”

Phil Soper, Royal LePage presi-dent and CEO, said in a press release the company has made growth in British Columbia a stra-tegic priority over the past year, adding 600 realtors through B.C. acquisitions. The Coast Realty deal adds 150 realtors on the Island and in Powell River.

Royal LePage was formed in 1913 and has 600 offices and more than 16,000 real estate profession-als across Canada.

Coast Realty Group was estab-lished in 1984 and operated from nine offices on the Island and one in Powell River.

study shows new water potential for Lantzville

A $ 3 5 0 , 0 0 0 upgrade of Lantz-vil le’s wellf ield could allow it to tap into more water, a new report shows.

A wellfield man-a g e m e n t p l a n study, released last week, shows the District of Lantzville could get an additional 400 cubic metres a day from its sys-tem, but whether that translates into new connec-tions for residents hinges on politi-cians agreeing to improvements and tests to prove that upgrades increase supply.

Lantzville has 885 households on its well system, with 3,600 residents in the community. By 2065, that popula-tion is expected to grow to 5,700.

A d e a l w i t h Nanaimo could see 225 house-holds connect to city supply, and 50 hookups for new development, but there hasn’t been consensus on how to move forward.

The report offers a series of recom-mendations for Lantzville’s water supply, including the replacement of one well and the redevelopment of three others to boost production.

Fred Spears, the district’s director of public works, said the recom-m e n d a t i o n t o council is to do the upgrades, moni-tor to ensure the district is getting what it was told it would and then look at expanding the amount of con-nections.

“[The study] indi-cates there’s poten-tial to expand the system, but there’s a lot of steps that have to be taken,” he said.

M a y o r C o l i n Haime said the first step is to clarify the extent of the water sup-ply because the volume and tim-ing of other water sources depends on what the munic-ipality is able to produce.

Regional district considers extension for consultant on pollution control

By KArL yuThe News BulleTiN

The Regional District of Nanaimo is deciding whether to approve a $100,000 contract extension with BRC Consulting for consultation work on the Greater Nanaimo Pol-lution Control Centre project.

As part of the regional district’s Liquid Waste Management Plan, the centre must be upgraded to improve solids removal from wastewater by the end of 2018. The project will include improve-ments to odour mitigation sys-tems and to primary treatment.

If approved at the regular meet-ing tonight (July 28), the extension will run until May.

BRC Consulting was selected as a subject matter expert last Sep-tember and according to Sean De Pol, regional district manager of wastewater services, the firm is overseeing preliminary design work from project engineer AECOM and coming up with solu-tions to design issues that could

potentially affect construction and operation of the facility.

The project is complex and if there isn’t an appropriate level of pre-planning, the scope could increase after the project goes to tender, which could affect costs, he said.

“There are thousands of differ-ent elements to a project like this and you only get one opportunity to do it and if we can pre-plan and anticipate every single, pos-sible aspect of the project, when it comes to construction, that’s where you’re going to be guaran-teed success. So that’s what were going through right now with BRC Consulting,” said De Pol.

De Pol is projecting a construc-tion tender going out in May, lasting for upwards of six weeks, with the successful proponent expected to be named next July and construction following after.

The regional district anticipates it will have spent $145,000 on BRC Consulting.

On July 15, a state-of-the-art new pipeline near Fort McMur-ray, Alta., ruptured, spilling five million litres of bitumen, sand and waste water over 16,000 square metres – one of the larg-est pipeline oil spills in Cana-dian history.

At the same time, while forest fires raged across large swathes of Western Canada – thanks to hotter, dryer conditions and longer fire seasons driven in part by cli-mate change – Cana-dian premiers met in St. John’s, Nfld., to release their national energy strategy.

The premiers’ Cana-dian Energy Strategy focuses on energy conservation and effi-ciency, clean energy and reducing green-house gas emissions to combat climate change. But details are vague and there’s no sense of urgency. We need a response like the U.S. reaction to Pearl Harbor or the Soviet Sputnik launch.

The premiers seemingly want it both ways. Despite its call to “Build on the ongoing efforts of individuals, businesses, govern-ments and others to improve energy efficiency, lower the carbon footprint, and improve understanding of energy in Canada,” the strategy promotes

fossil fuel business as usual, including expanded pipeline, oil sands and liquefied natural gas development, including more fracking.

The premiers’ plan is a non-binding framework. It doesn’t include specifics on how to revamp our energy production and distribution systems, but buys time until the next elec-tions roll around.

Although the lan-guage about climate change and clean energy is important, the strategy remains stuck in the fossil fuel era. As Climate Action Network Canada exec-utive director Louise Comeau said in a news release, “Governments discriminate against smoking and toxics in food and consumer

products. What’s needed now is discriminatory policy against fossil fuels if we are going to drastically reduce the carbon pollution putting our health and well-being at risk.”

Fossil fuel development has spurred economic develop-ment, created jobs and pro-vided many other benefits, but the risks now outweigh those benefits. The costs in dollars and lives of pollution, habitat and wildlife degradation, pipe-line and railcar spills, and cli-

mate change – all getting worse as populations grow, energy needs increase and fossil fuel reserves become increasingly scarce and difficult to exploit – have become unsustainable.

Yet, many of our leaders are still pinning their hopes on rapid oil sands expansion, mas-sive increases in fracking for liq-uefied natural gas and new and expanded pipelines across the country – with benefits flowing more to industry than citizens.

It’s refreshing to see provin-cial premiers at least recog-nizing the threat of climate change and the need to address it through conservation, effi-ciency and clean technology, but we need a far greater shift to keep the problems we’ve cre-ated from getting worse. There are many benefits to doing so, including more and bet-ter jobs, a stronger economy, healthier citizens and reduced health-care costs, and greater preservation of our rich natural heritage.

Canada’s premiers should take these issues seriously and commit to a faster shift from fossil fuels as they continue to develop their energy strat-egy. They must also stress the importance of having similar, stronger action from the federal government – and so should we all.

The Great International World Championship Bathtub Race is worthy of all those superlatives.

This year’s great race was one of the best yet, and it’s all thanks to a simple change in direction. Starting and ending the race in the same place – the city’s premier downtown waterfront park – was a sensible move that has reinvigorated the Nanaimo Marine Festival. The bath-tub race belongs downtown.

Departure Bay Beach had its appeal as a finish line, as it has plenty of sandy shoreline for spectators to catch the action. Maffeo Sutton Park had to pack people in, but it’s still a superior venue, for a few reasons. The park is better suited for a festival feel, with the Lions Pavilion stage for music and capacity for food trucks, vendors and the like.

It takes a little over an hour for the fastest tubbers to make it around the buoys and back. There was lots to see and do at the park during that hour, but it was also just enough time for the crowd to stroll around the downtown, check out the car show and sidewalk sales, have a coffee and a Nanaimo bar, and then return for the finish-line fun.

Downtown isn’t always a happening place on a Sunday morning, but this past weekend, it was, and it continued the momentum of festival season. The merchants deserve those sort of days, and it’s a reminder that as a commu-nity we can always do more to orga-nize, support and enjoy these kinds of events.

The great race can be better still, in time for next year’s 50th-anniversary bash. There should be space for specta-tors to line the shore on both sides of the finish line, if possible. Organizers expect even more tubs, and the long-range forecast is calling for a sunny day.

We’ve hosted the bathtub world championship for a lot of years, and it’s closer, now, to becoming world-class.

Bathtub race getting better

To the Editor,Re: City seeks

regional strategy for geese, July 21.

I have lived in Nanaimo since 1965 and have always admired the Canada goose. These birds honk at night and give me joy to hear them.

I think that egg addling is a very good idea and when at Westwood Lake I do not see many off-spring anymore and

that is good.However, this bird is

a symbol of Canada’s greatness and must not be culled. Please do not kill them; you would be killing part of Canada’s joy and admiration.

I am happy for what has already happened like taking them to Cottle Lake from Westwood. Let these good works be appre-ciated.

To the Editor,Re: Wildfires pre-

dicted in scripture, Letters, July 21.

The fires in our province, as well as our neighbouring provinces, have a legitimate explana-tion that requires no supernatural induction.

It is evident that this is the work of climate change, which has been guided by the hands of mankind, not those of the gods. Science has proposed this idea for many years and although the vague prediction made by the Prophet Daniel predates the scien-tific one, scientists have been capable of determining the effects far more accurately. I wel-come anyone who disagrees with me to take a moment and reflect on the instances where biblical prophecy

has fallen short, such as the Nile river drying up. I urge those who carry a sense of fear or doom to turn away from the sky and instead open their eyes to what we can do to improve our current conditions.

I hope you won’t discredit B.C.’s natural beauty and the tragedy that has fallen with the proclamation of a dystopic end-times, because once we do that, we have given up the fight to pro-tect our planet.

To the Editor,Re: Wildfires pre-

dicted in scripture, Letters, July 21.

This confirms the divine Bible proph-ecy of the Old Tes-tament happening today.

The people of today are prais-

ing God with their mouths and honour-ing him with their lips, but their hearts are far from God.

God continues to break the pride of men, as at pres-ent God rules the weather curses mankind brought upon themselves as a result of disobedi-ence to the laws of God. So now earth-quakes, drought, floods, tornadoes and such damage by fires causing mil-lions of dollars.

According to prophecy, prior to the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, God will extend a time of wrath as never before expe-rienced. We sealed into the body of Christ by the Holy Spirit will be lifted out of it.

Peace on Earth is coming, with cer-tainty.

Nanaimo’s living wage at $18 an hour, July 14.

The article and the move-ment are well due. I take exception to the Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Com-merce CEO’s talking point that the issue needs more dis-cussion. Businesses and gov-ernments have for too long

wrongly decided what a per-son’s hourly wage is worth.

Raising the minimum wage benefits businesses, workers and the economy. It is ridic-ulous to insult the consumer in thinking that we would not support a store that pays a decent wage. I pay 85 dollars an hour to have my automobile fixed, you don’t think I’d pay an extra half

buck for my pizza?Store owners need to

decide whether their eco-nomic model works in the community with the price of fair wages factored in. If not, asking workers to work at a loss, and subsidize your enterprise, might just be ask-ing too much.

To the Editor,Re: Developer cites

lack of support for kill-ing hotel deal, July 14.

I call on Mayor Bill McKay to resign. He has committed municipal treason on the taxpayers of Nanaimo.

By urging the now-pulled-out hotel developer SSS Manhao to “recover those costs before I gave that property

up” (sue the city), it clearly shows whose side the mayor is on – and it’s not ours. What government official would tell the other side to sue the taxpayers? No one.

Until McKay’s let-ter of resignation is received by the electorate, council should vote to muzzle him from speaking on behalf of the city. Even after a council

decision is made the mayor voices his displeasure when he should be upholding the decision of coun-cil regardless of his personal views at that point. Debate is over, a decision’s been

made and it becomes the mandate for all of council to uphold.

In McKay’s own words, his term in office has become “a dark day.”

Mayor shouldn’t be allowed to speak on behalf of city

BY NICHOLAS PESCODTHE NEWS BULLETIN

T he year was 1898 and Nanai-mo’s Commer-cial Street was

home to six bars.By the 1900s the

were nearly two dozen drinking establishments within the Harbour City.

“There were 22 bars in Nanaimo in 1900,” said local historian and tour guide Kevin Storey. “There were at least seven breweries.”

Details about Nanaimo’s bar scene in its early years are just some of the countless historical facts that people can learn about while par-ticipating in the His-toric Pub Tour.

Organized and led by Storey and Mark Corbett, the tour lasts for almost two hours and touches on everything from the history of Brit-ish Columbia’s drinking laws to Nanaimo’s topogra-phy.

“We walk the streets in a mean-dering fashion talking about the history and the changes in the topography and then we cover a lot of the liquor laws and policies of Brit-ish Columbia from 1853,” Storey said.

The tour begins at the Bastion and stops at the Palace Hotel and the Cam-bie. It also includes a stop at Mambo’s Pizza.

“They [The Palace and the Cambie] are the oldest and the edgiest,” Storey said.

The Historic Pub Tour is part of the Nanaimo Walking Tours, a tour com-pany run by Corbett and Storey that hosts other types of tours throughout the city.

Corbett says the

historic pub tour is great for tour-ists and people who have lived in Nanaimo for years.

“There is an edu-cational element, with the history and the dates and things, but it is also fun,” Corbett says. “You get to go visit a pub and hang out with the locals and you get beer and you get pizza. It is kind of an experi-ence.”

Those who grew up in Nanaimo will appreciate the tour for its wealth

of historical facts about downtown Nanaimo.

“If you’re from here it is definitely going to give you a new perspective on this town,” Corbett said. It is going to

get you looking at downtown in a way that you wouldn’t normally do if you just parked and went to your favou-rite shop.”

British Columbia’s liquor laws have come a long way since the province joined confedera-tion in 1871.

Storey, who has been tour guide with the Nanaimo Museum for years, says that prior to confederation, the region was domi-nated by cartels.

“At that point

there was a beer cartel,” Storey said. “With the establish-ment of the govern-ment they worked hard for years to break the cartel so that they could dom-inate the alcohol.”

Those who go on the tour will learn about the prov-ince’s strange liquor laws.

“In the 1890s in British Columbia it was illegal to be drunk in your home,” Storey said. “Before 1986 you couldn’t buy beer in British Columbia on

a Sunday.”According to Sto-

rey, during prohibi-tion, which lasted from 1917 to 1920, veterinarians and doctors could pre-scribe alcohol to animals.

“People will take away a little bit of some of the quirks of the liquor laws,” Storey said. “For instance prescrip-tions for horses for alcohol. You know full well that is going to the farmer and not the horse.”

In the last few years, the province made a number of changes to the liquor laws. As of April, residents in British Columbia are able to purchase wine at select gro-cery stores.

Storey says the government’s posi-tion on how people consume liquor has changed.

“The government used to promote going out to drink. So there were many bars and it wasn’t stigmatized because of drinking and driv-ing,” Storey said. “Now that stigma is in place the gov-ernment seems to be reversing it and making more at-home drinking avail-able.”

Tours are sched-uled for Aug. 6, Aug. 27 and Sept. 17 and are $25 per person. Beer and pizza is extra. For more information, visit www.nanaimowalk-ingtours.ca.

Kenny is a wonderfully social young boy. Kenny will need to be an indoor only cat as he has a neurological condition that causes him to be a little wobbly and have a slight head tilt. If you are willing to take a special needs cat into your home you will be rewarded with a lot of love from Kenny.

Zena is a happy, super wiggly little girl! She adores people; the opportunity to spend time with anyone human just fills her with joy (so much so that she does forget her

manners, and may jump up before she flops over for a belly rub - she could use a little refresher on how to be ladylike). Zena has lived with dogs, kids and cats. She is full of love and will enthusiastically love any siblings of any kind - furry or not! If you’re looking for a fun, pretty social butterfly to join you on adventures of all kinds, come down to the shelter and meet sweet Zena!

Kennedy is a beauti-ful Maine coon cross, came to the Nanaimo as a stray cat. Sadly her owners didn’t show up for her and she was adopted. Af-ter 2 weeks she was returned because she was going after the other animals in the house. So the

ideal home would be where she is a only pet where she can be the queen of her servants! Kennedy is an affectionate cat that would love a forever home with someone that will be loved and doted on. Do you sound like the right home for her? If so she is ready to go today!

Keisha is a sweet soul that is looking for a new forever home, one where she is the only pet and can be queen of her castle. She is a little of a chunky monkey so it is recommended that she be put on a low calorie diet that will be beneficial to her health. Keisha is not a lap cat or one that enjoys being picked up but loves scratches under the chin and will come for affection on her own time. Come down and see this beautiful cat today, better yet come down and take her home!

Another successful week of finding our furry friends their fur-ever homes! All together, including kittens, cats and dogs it makes a total of 20 lucky critters. It’s been a busy week but it was all worth it!! Pictured are Lucielle, Mia and Queen, heading out

the doors with their loving families.On Monday morn-ing, Maya had bolted from her dog walkers. Her owners, Ashlee and her fiancé Trev-or went searching day and night to find Maya when they came across real-tor, Jim Johnson. Jim was amazing! He dropped everything to help find Maya.

Jim drove up and down with Maya’s owners to help find her. Without Jim’s rational and logi-cal decisions and search and res-cue background, Maya may have not been found. Finally, at 12:30 the next

morning, Maya was found safe and sound!

Sands ~ Nanaimo (250)753-2032

Gwenneth Joan “Sul” Eakins

November 8, 1925 ~ July 18, 2015

It is the End of an Era with the passing of our

much loved Mom, Gran and Nana, our Sul, Joan Eakins, who passed peacefully on July 18, at Nanaimo Regional Gen-eral Hospital.

Sul was predeceased by her husband, Jim, and will be deeply missed by her 5 children; Marty (Barb),

Steve (Cheryl), Paul, Nancy (Mike) and Kelly, 6 grandchildren Darby (Scott), Sean, Danica, Lauren, Alden and Jessie, and her great-grandson Cooper.

Sul grew up in New Westminster and spent most of her childhood summers at Crescent Beach, where she loved to swim and was a member of the Crescent Beach Swim Club. It was here she would cross paths with her future husband and life partner, Jim. Sul married Jim in 1949 and in 1950 they moved to Nanaimo where they settled and began a lifetime together that was richly filled with family, friendships, golf, travel and a passion for creating amazing culinary delights and hosting dinner parties extraordinaire. She had a great sense of humour and wit and oh, how she loved to laugh. Sul was an avid golfer and member of the Nanaimo Golf Club and Cottonwood Golf Club where she celebrated a Hole in One at each club! She was ‘Louise‘ to Faye‘s ‘Thelma‘. She was an active member of Beta Sigma Phi Sorority and the Ladies Coffee Group.

Our most sincere Gratitude and Thanks to the great care and compassion of Faye Burton, Dr. Spry, VIHA homecare nurses, Dr. King, and nursing staff at the Palliative Care Unit at NRGH who helped her make her Journey Home as gentle as possible.

A private Family Celebration will be held. A Come and Go Tea to Remember Sul’s Life will be held at a later date.

“May God Hold You in the Palm of His Hand”

Donations would be welcome to the Canadian Cancer Society.

MELVIN ERNEST WATTS

Mel passed away peacefully on July 14, 2015.

Dad was born the 2nd of 4 children on Sept 23, 1936 in Trail B.C. He is predeceased by his loving wife, Julie in 2005, and siblings Iva and Ivan, also his granddaughter Amanda in 2003.

Dad is survived by his daughters Su-san (Randy), Sheryl (Rod), Sandy, Shannon (John); grandchildren Paul (Cherie), Rick, Alisha, Jennalee (Chris), Matthew, Jason, Sarah, Nik-ki and Kacie; great grandchildren Jor-dynn and Ember, and also his eldest brother Ervin (Jean).

Dad’s career as a Boilermaker and his sense of adventure took him and his family to many new places, making a home wherever the road took him. He loved the outdoors, camping, fishing and gold panning. In Mel’s retirement years he enjoyed playing cards and a good game of chess, he spent many hours driving friends wherever they needed to go, helping in anyway he could.

Mel will be greatly missed by his family and friends. No service by request.

“Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day.”

Dutfield, Leon, EdwardMay 15, 1938 ~ July 23, 2015

“Age, Bad Luck and a Western Diet”, the big “C” finally got its hold and wouldn’t let go.After 22 months in this battle, Leon passed away peacefully in the Palliative Care Unit of the Nanaimo Regional General Hospital with his family by his side.He was born to William Thomas Dutfield and Irene Christie Aldridge in New Toronto, Ontario. Raised in the small village of Port Credit, he developed a love of the outdoors and the nearby farms that he found so intriguing.Leon began his teaching career in a one-room school-house, SS#9 (Bloomsbury) in Nassagaweya Township in Halton County in 1959 and eventually retired from West Hill Secondary School in Owen Sound, Ontario in 1993. He and his wife of 54 years, Joan, shared the love for their three daughters, Karen Newark (predeceased by son-in-law Michael), Kim Dutfield (Shelley Strong) and Brenda Freeman (Jeff), his eight grandchildren: Kathryn, Hillary, Graeme, Hannah, Max, Kurt, Lars, and Kindred were a source of pride to him. Hopefully as the years pass, some of his life lessons will be incorporated into their lives. He is also survived by a brother Tom (Pam), and numerous cousins, nephews and friends. May God bless them all!A special thanks goes out to the wonderful nurses and doctors, care aids and the volunteers from Hospice House in the Palliative Unit for their exemplary care they lovingly provided.A Celebration of Leon’s life will be held Tuesday August 4, 2015 from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm at Sands

Funeral Chapel, 1 Newcastle Avenue, Nanaimo, BC.

Sr. B T-men start finals versus rivals

Raiders upset Rams in opener

BY GREG SAKAKIThe News BulleTiN

The V.I. Raiders had a surprise in store in the season opener, as they were able to defeat the defending champs.

The Raiders beat the Lang-ley Rams 22-14 on Saturday at Caledonia Park to start the B.C. Football Conference season. The Rams turned the ball over five times in the second half and Nanaimo outscored Langley 13-0 over those final two quarters to come back and win.

“We wanted to bring that first ‘W’ of the season, especially in front of the home fans,” said Nate Berg, V.I. running back. “Fourth quarter it was go time, all or nothing.”

A turning point came early in the fourth quarter. V.I. line-backer Dexter Shea recovered a fumble and returned it deep into Rams territory, setting up a four-yard touchdown run from V.I. quarterback Liam O’Brien to give the Raiders a five-point lead.

Nanaimo’s defence stood tall down the stretch, as Langley wasn’t able to cross midfield over its last few drives.

“The game will always come down to the fourth quarter,” said Josh Paisley, V.I. defensive back. “Who can keep that drive going all the way through the game?”

Jerome Erdman was able to win his debut as Raiders head coach. He said all aspects of his team’s game were strong, and had to be against the Rams.

“We wanted to just be patient and make them work for it. We felt if we didn’t start … being too aggressive, that they would make a mistake and better them

than us,” Erdman said. “[We] really stuck to the game plan and we never made the big, criti-cal mistake and I think we wore them down.”

V.I.’s Dustin Rodriguez opened the scoring with a 23-yard touchdown catch 10 minutes into the game, but in the second quarter, the Rams replied with touchdown catches from Jordan Traversy and Nathan Lund.

V.I.’s Matias Bueno was good on both his field-goal attempts.

O’Brien finished the game 18-for-32 passing for 208 yards with one passing TD and one rushing TD. He was sacked seven times.

Berg had 90 rushing yards and Rodriguez had six catches and

89 receiving yards.Defensively for the Raiders,

Paisley led the way with six solo tackles and two assists and Adam McDonald had four tack-les. Alex Eberling and Hudson Schneider had interceptions.

The Raiders celebrated bois-terously after the win, and Erd-man said he’s proud of the guys.

“When you work them hard and they see a result like this, they really start to believe…” the coach said. “We beat a very good football team and I don’t know if many people thought we would, but [our players] did.”

GAME ON … The Raiders visit the Westshore Rebels in Victoria on Saturday (Aug. 1).

Nanaimo Timber-men are back in the finals and as close to a championship as they’ve been in a long time.

The T-men face their rivals, the Lad-ner Pioneers, in the West Coast Senior Lacrosse Asso-ciation finals starting Wednesday (July 29) at Frank Crane Arena. The teams will play a best-of-five series.

Nanaimo was swept by the Tri-City Ban-dits in last year’s league final, but is more of a favourite against the Pioneers.

“We definitely feel a lot different and a lot more confident,” said Mike Maughan, T-men coach. “Last year [in the finals] we just weren’t able to pull it out when it was a tight game. Now I think our team is different and we definitely have a bit more depth scor-ing up front which is going to help us when it comes to tight games.”

GAME ON … The T-men and Pioneers face off Wednesday at 7:15 p.m. Tickets will be available at the door. The series then breaks until Aug. 6 on the mainland, and Game 3 is Aug. 8 at 2 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena. If necessary, Game 4 would be Aug. 9, and Game 5 would take place Aug. 12.

Pirates through to provincials

T h e N a n a i m o Pirates will play for a championship.

The Hub City Pav-ing Pirates swept the Whalley Chiefs two games to none on Sat-urday at Serauxmen Stadium in the first round of the B.C. Pre-mier Baseball League playoffs, winning by scores of 2-1 and 7-2.

Nanaimo was able to win Game 1 of the series even though it managed just two hits. Shawn Arab-sky’s RBI double in the fifth inning broke a 1-1 tie, and pitcher Josh Burgmann did the rest, throwing a complete game and striking out eight.

In Game 2 Nanai-mo’s bats came to life. The team batted around in the fourth

inning to score six runs. Zach Diewert had three hits, Matt Skingle hit a single and a double, Cole Warken had two RBIs

and Burgmann hit a triple. Garrett Good-all threw a complete game, allowing just two hits and striking out eight.

GAME ON … The Pirates advance to the final four tournament, which starts Friday (July 31) at Victoria’s Royal Athletic Park.
