Defence claims gun wrestled from victim

SIMON PHILLIP Dockerill takes the stand in his own defence during B.C. Supreme Court trial.

By Jenn M c gaRRigle ThE NEwS BULLETiN

A man facing a weapons charge following a deadly shootout on Wilgress Road in May 2010 testified in B.C. Supreme Court in Nanaimo last week that he did not bring a gun to the incident. Simon Phillip Dockerill, charged with possession of a restricted firearm, was initially also charged with murder following the late afternoon incident, which killed John Charles Borden, 47, and injured Dockerill and another man. But following developments in the police investigation, which satisfied the Crown that the deceased initiated the exchange of gunfire that led to his death and Dockerill responded with an act of self-defence, Crown counsel requested last July that the murder charge be dropped. Dockerill’s trial on the remaining gun charge began June 10,

and on Thursday and Friday, he took the stand. Dockerill, 34, testified that he met Borden in 2009 when he wanted to rent a unit in the building Borden was living in on Wilgress Road, for use as a tanning salon. He said he gave Borden, who he understood to be the property manager, money for rent and other things and also lent him money for his personal use, but never occupied the unit. Dockerill testified that Borden had a gun out when he visited him with a friend in April 2009; seven or eight months before the May 25, 2010 gunfight, Borden produced a knife and threatened him. Then the only contact he had with Borden was close to the shooting, when he phoned Borden and asked if Borden was going to pay him back, he said. u See ‘TRIAL’ /4

Trade mission to Calgary cancelled due to flooding By ToBy goRMan ThE NEwS BULLETiN

WestJet’s inaugural flight from Nanaimo to Calgary went as scheduled Monday, but severe flooding in Calgary put a damper on a trade mission that was supposed to have symbolized new economic opportunities between the cities prompted by the direct link.

GOLD 619 Townsite Rd., Nanaimo

250-591-5511

A delegation of about 30 mid-Island politicians, economic development officials and local business owners were originally booked to travel to Calgary as part of Team Nanaimo to meet with officials there to forge new economic relationships. Instead, three people from the Nanaimo Economic Development Corporation made the trip as a goodwill gesture. Nanaimo Mayor John Ruttan, who

was scheduled to participate as well, said it didn’t make sense to pursue the mission because of the massive cleanup underway in Calgary. “It is disappointing, a lot of work went into it, but what can you do?” said Ruttan. “The people who are going are going to just touch base with WestJet and assure them we’re happy with the new service.” u See ‘FIRST’ /4

Police seek female scam suspect Nanaimo Mounties are warning the public about a woman going door to door to con her way into homes to steal small items. The suspect might ask for directions or attempt to pose as a caregiver, social worker or nurse. The most recent incident occurred on Tuesday at about 4:45 p.m. in the 400 block of Milton Street when the female came to the door asking directions to get to Townsite Road. She was left alone for a few moments and during that time a wallet went missing. The same suspect is believed to have been involved in a incident May 16 in the 500 block of Terminal Avenue. The woman told the homeowners she was in town for a job interview, she said her son had recently been in a car accident and she had lost her wallet and had no money. When she asked the skeptical homeowners if they could give her some money they refused and called the police. She left before police arrived. The suspect is Caucasian, in her mid 30s, has a thin build and shoulder length, brown hair. Police say she is extremely manipulative and highly unpredictable. Anyone approached by her is asked to call 911 immediately. Anyone who has information is asked to call Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345 or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477 or online at www.nanaimocrime stoppers.com.

After-school program gets financial boost I STudENTS mEET to learn skills, talk about issues. By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN

n after-school dropin program for kids will have a bigger influence in their lives, thanks to a cheque for $20,000 from Royal Bank of Canada. Kids 4 Kids, a Georgia Avenue Community School drop-in program, was started in 2011 to make a positive impact on Grades 6 and 7 students facing challenges from poverty, family difficulties and other issues that could send them down wrong paths in life. On Monday afternoons children stayed after school to play soccer, hockey and basketball or learn skills, such as cooking and sewing, in the school’s gym, kitchen and multi-purpose room. The activities offered promote good nutrition and healthy eating, physical fitness and health and wellness, build selfesteem, promote positive relationships, confidence and raise awareness about anti-bullying. “You’ll see one of the kids who made a dress, another one made some shorts and there’s a little First Nations girl, she’s about five or six maybe

Codi Storch, left, and Laurissa Yake-Genovese demonstrate how they made pillows and other items while learning sewing at Georgia Avenue Community School’s Kids 4 Kids program. The after-school drop-in program is open to all students to help children learn skills, give them a place to socialize and provide services to help them deal with personal challenges.

– we’re not even supposed to take them that young – but she made a bag she uses as a purse and she’s just ecstatic,” said Nanaimo RCMP Cpl. Sheryl Armstrong. “They’re learning Food Safe, they’re learning how to make a meal for themselves if they have to.” Snacks provided at each session are made for the kids by the students learning to cook. Nanaimo RCMP’s Community Policing division and school liaison officers are part of the program partnership

between the Ministry of Social Development, John Howard Society, Vancouver Island Health Authority, Vancouver Island University, Ministry of Children and Family Development and the Nanaimo school district. Other than the RCMP and paid ministry staff, everyone involved in the program are volunteers. One of the key components of the program is having adults consistently on hand to be mentors and positive role models. Guest speakers, such as the Nanaimo Clip-

pers hockey team, are also brought in. “[Nanaimo] Family Life came in and talked about being safe when you’re alone. It’s giving these kids tools that they wouldn’t otherwise have.” About 20-35 students have been consistently showing up at the dropin, which is open to students from other schools as well. “It’s not just for Georgia Avenue kids,” Armstrong said. “It’s for everybody who wants to come.” Misty Duifhuis, program

coordinator, said children who come to the program are from families covering a wide economic and social spectrum, but Harewood has a high number of families, considered the working poor, who don’t have the financial means or resources to send their children to summer camps or provide other benefits. Some of those families have their issues, deeply troubling ones in some cases, which often translate into troubled children. “It helps the kids to connect to adults in a positive way to make life-long changes,” Duifhuis said. “Even the simplest things, such as the consistency of that same person being there week after week can have long-term effects in that child’s emotional well-being and that transcends into everything that comes down – to their education, their home life, their jobs – everything that they want to do.” Duifhuis said the $20,000 donation, presented June 17 from the Royal Bank of Canada After School Grants program through the RBC Foundation, will help expand the program from one to four days a week when school starts in September. Armstrong said parents are seeing the results of Kids 4 Kids. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

u From /1 On the day of the incident, Borden phoned him to tell him he had his money, said Dockerill. Dockerill drove to Borden’s residence with a friend, Dylan Ambrus, and after some communication by phone, an envelope was thrown out the door of Borden’s upper-floor apartment. When Dockerill was coming down the stairs, he testified that he felt the velocity of a passing bullet, then he made an attempt to get back in his vehicle, saw Borden pointing a gun at Ambrus in the passenger side and spoke to him to draw his attention away from Ambrus. Dockerill said when Ambrus made a run for it, he grabbed Borden, who now had two guns, one in each hand. He said Borden shot him in the hip at the same time he grabbed him and the impact knocked him backwards – the bullet did not penetrate his body because it hit the knife he was wearing on his hip – but he ended up with one of Borden’s guns in his hand and fired it at Borden. Under cross-examination, Dockerill said he couldn’t remember how many times he fired the gun. “I recall him telling me that it was me or him,” he said. Dockerill said he lost consciousness after being shot in the leg. Crown counsel Frank Dubenski questioned Dockerill about why he came to the incident wearing body armour, to which he replied that he was wearing it in case Borden decided to shoot him. The trial is expected to wrap up today (June 25) with closing submissions from the Crown. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

in our plans,” Ruttan said. More than 100,000 people were evacua t e d f ro m t h e i r homes in southern Alber ta late last week as heavy rains caused several rivers and tributaries to spill their banks and flow into dozens of neighbourhoods. Downtown Calgary, including the Stampede grounds, a place where Team Nanaimo had scheduled many of its meetings, was inundated with flood waters and remains closed in many areas until at least midweek. Despite the setback, a celebration was held at Nanaimo Airport Monday morning to welcome WestJet. The air carrier announced its new Nanaimo-Calgary Encore service in February, which will operate one flight a day from each city. WestJet will use its fleet of 78-passenger Canadian-built Bombardier Q400 NextGen turboprops on the route. reporter2@nanaimobulletin.com

B.C. losing people RCMP Musical Ride gallops into Nanoose to other provinces By Lissa aLexander Black Press

By Tom FLeTcher Black Press

More people continue to move from B.C. to other provinces than migrate west, according to the latest Statistics Canada estimates. Quarterly Statistics Canada figures show a net loss of 1,611 people from B.C. to other provinces from January to March this year. That is the seventh straight quarter of net outmigration from B.C., with the last net increase of 73 people recorded in the April-June quarter of 2011. In 2012, while B.C. was a net loser of about 7,000 in interprovincial movements, Alberta gained about 43,000 and Saskatchewan gained about 2,500 people. NDP leader Adrian Dix said Wednesday the latest totals mean B.C. has lost a net 12,000 people to other provinces since Premier Christy Clark took over. Dix said private sector jobs have declined since Clark launched her jobs plan, and her government continues to cut the budget for job skill training. Clark shrugged off the numbers, saying B.C.’s overall population continues to grow. “More people are coming here than are leaving, and we need to continue to work to make sure that more people are staying,” Clark said. “We’re competing hard with Alberta and the oil sands to keep people here.”

A distinctly Canadian musical event is heading to the region early next month – the RCMP Musical Ride. A full troop of 32 RCMP riders and horses performing cavalry drills choreographed to music on Aug. 3 at 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. and Aug. 4 at 1 p.m. at the Arbutus Meadows Equestrian Centre in Nanoose Bay. The RCMP Musical Ride tours throughout Canada as well as internationally at 40 to 50 locations a year between the months of May and October. The Ride

came from a desire by early members of the North-West Mounted Police to display their riding ability and also entertain. Many of these early members had a British military background and were practised in traditional cavalry drill movements. In 1887 they named it the Musical Ride at the Regina barracks, but the shows didn’t become public until 1904. The event became a permanent entity of the RCMP in 1961. The ride varies from year to year as new instructors alter the movements and formations slightly. The

moves stem from the ability to move a mounted cavalry regiment with organization, control, timing and co-ordination. The Dome is one of the most recognizable formations that take shape at the event, and was once featured on the Canadian $50 bill. The Charge is also an anticipated segment, when the horses charge and the riders lower their lances marked by red and white pennons. RCMP Musical Ride helps charities and non-profit organizations raise money, and the event is being copresented by the Parksville

Rotary AM Club, which in turn serves the needs of the community. Tickets to the show are $10, and ages three and under are free. Buy them from Marlin Travel, Parksville Close to You, Parksville Chamber of Commerce and Qualicum Beach RCMP detachment. People are encouraged to come early, visit the stables and meet the RCMP riders and horses. Arbutus Meadows Equestrian Centre is at 1515 Island Hwy in Nanoose Bay. editor@nanaimobulletin.com

Sculpture’s missing wing found

oWNEr plaNS to repair carving by artist Dan Richey. By Chris Bush The News BulleTiN

George Ewing will be happy to have his sculpture back in one piece. A wing broken off the carving of an aboriginal man, by Nanaimo artist Dan Richey and titled Dancing With the Eagles, has been returned. The damage was discovered June 7 and it was assumed the wing had been stolen, but

the missing portion of the sculpture was found lying in the street near the statue on Fitzwilliam Street by a city worker about a week later, Ewing said. It is unclear where the wing was from the time it went missing until it was found, but the worker took it back to the city works yard on Labieux Road, where staff contacted Ewing to tell him they had the item. “Fortunately it’s a very seamless fit where it came off, so I’m going to drill it, pin it and glue it and match the colour in and I’m confident I can do a virtually seamless

repair on it,” Ewing said. Ewing, who purchased the sculpture in 2011 and has had it on display near his business since, said he doesn’t believe the damage was actually the result of malicious intent or attempted theft. “I know the temptation is for kids to climb up it and get a photograph and the break is where you’d reach up and grab if you were a smaller person,” Ewing said. “I would like to believe it wasn’t malicious intent, but that it was more just somebody in exploratory mode and went, ‘Oops, uh oh.’” photos@nanaimobulletin.com

City identifies areas for Colliery Dam Park closure The city has identified portions of Colliery Dam Park that will be closed to the public as the city prepares with the removal of the lower and middle colliery dams and the work required to rebuild them. On May 13 city council voted to remove both dams this summer and rebuild them in the future after an inundation study performed by the province suggested a threat to human life should the dams fail. “The removal of the lower and middle colliery dams will involve the use of heavy equipment and machinery, so keeping people out of harm’s way during the removal and replacement process is important,” said

Mayor John Ruttan in a release. “With the exception of those areas where construction is occurring or hazardous conditions are present, at this time our intention is to keep as much of the park open as possible.” Designated areas of the park will be marked closed with signage and fencing while other areas will remain available for continued use. Two viewing areas are planned for park users interested in observing construction associated with the dams’ removal and replacement. In addition, the parking lot on the corner of Sixth Street and Wakesiah Avenue will be made available for public gatherings.

At least one group has suggested there will be protests at the park over the controversial project. The mayor said the city respects the public’s right to protest but that safety is paramount. “While the dams are being removed and replaced on account of the identified threat they currently present to public safety, the city respects our residents’ rights to lawful assembly and freedom of speech,” said Ruttan. “Our construction plan therefore contains designated areas that enable gatherings to occur. Two marked locations allowing direct lines of sight to the construction area are also planned.”

Van Isle 360 sails home

MORE THAN 40 boats participated in two-week race around island. by Chris hamlyn The News BulleTiN

There is much more to the Black Press Van Isle 360 yacht race than skippers and crews jumping aboard their vessels and simply sailing around Vancouver Island. That’s one of many lessons Jeff and Sylvia Motley, race organizers, learned in their first year running the event. More than 40 boats left the Harbour City June 8 on the 10-leg race and arrived back in Nanaimo Friday and into the early morning hours Saturday at the visiting vessel pier. Jeff Motley said the race was everything he and his wife hoped for and more. “From the sailors’ perspective, even though probably 80 per cent of the race lacked a significant amount of wind, they truly enjoyed the challenging sailing conditions that they had,” he said. “And I know the camaraderie was enjoyed by all. For those who had taken part before old relationships were renewed, and for the new skippers, new relationships were created.”

The race included stops at French Creek, Comox, Campbell River, Hardwicke Island, Telegraph Cove, Port Hardy, Winter Harbour, Ucluelet and Victoria and Motley said they can’t thank enough the communities that welcomed the fleet and invited them back for 2015. “Relationships are key, whether it’s relationships with the skippers and their crews, the road crews, the communities or Black Press, this race doesn’t happen unless everybody works together,” he said. “We understood that coming in and came to deeply appreciate what it meant. “We were humbled – considering it was our first time for this event – how everyone couldn’t do enough to help us.” Motley said there were challenges behind the scenes, but the best thing was the racers never knew about it. “To see everybody smiling, slapping each other on the back and saying they can’t wait to be back kind of says it all,” he said. “From a debrief perspective, we do have some things that we would defintely consider doing differently, but it’s too early to make any decisions.” For full race results and a description of the event, please visit the race website at www. vanisle360.com. news@nanaimobulletin.com

EDITORIAL

Wildlife a part of our city life A video posted to YouTube of a bear entering and exiting a pickup truck by unlatching the doors might be funny for human viewers safely ensconced in their concrete and glass condos, but encounters with wildlife in the city rarely end well. For the animals. It seems every spring and early summer there are sightings of bears in urban neighbourhoods ambling through backyards and down alleys tipping over garbage cans, pawing at bird feeders. Posters on light standards of missing cats and small dogs often signify a coyote is on the prowl, turning docile pets into easy prey. Recently, a deer somehow managed to wander through the busy streets of a Lower Mainland city for hours before conservation officers were finally notified. Sadly the otherwise healthy and robust deer didn’t survive the shot from a tranquilizer gun. Ungulates like deer don’t react well to tranquilizing drugs, according to a conservation officer. The stress of dodging traffic, barking dogs and curious humans probably didn’t help. One of the great allures of living in British Columbia is the vast natural wilderness that begins right in our backyard. It’s easy to be at a grocery store in the morning and then having a picnic in the middle of a first or second growth forest, surrounded by mountains and trees for as far as the eye can see in the afternoon. Odds are there’s creatures amongst those trees. And sometimes they wander out of those woods and into our streets. At first blush it may seem an infringement on our space, but we have to remember their ancestors were here long before us. We’re encroaching on territories and behaviours bred into them for thousands of years. We need to respect their coexistence with us.

We started near the back, where people were less worried about winning and less inclined to ride aggressively around me. While the climbs were more than terrible, it seemed like the whole town showed up to cheer riders on, which kept me going. And after all, it was a beautiful day, the sun was shining and volunteers were waiting to hand you a cup of water just when you needed it most. It was still a ride to be endured more than enjoyed – the short, fun downhills were not cancelled out by the long grinds up, and three-quarters of the way through, people all around us started cramping up. On the final section of single track, a mixture of climbs and descents, I rode past countless riders standing off to the sides of the trail with seized muscles, their agonized cries interrupting the peace of the woods. I maintained a slow and steady speed throughout, as my goal was to finish the race and not cramp up, and crossed the finish line just over four and a half hours after I started. By then my body was so sore and tired that I just wanted it to be over. Now that I’ve done it, I don’t think I’ll do it again. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Oliver property full of potential To the Editor,

It’s encouraging that the large portion of land off Oliver Road, acquired by the city from the school district in May, is good for wildlife and park enthusiasts. I wish to suggest my vision for that area which I have frequented for decades. It is truly a precious, untouched piece of wilderness within the city with resident wood ducks, a common Merganser with three chicks, red winged blackbirds and violet green swallows. Further, the space from behind Oliver Woods Centre

to the slope behind Randerson Ridge Elementary School graduates through six different ecosystems, all documented by biologist/ ecologist Ron Beuchert of Qualicum in 2000 in a report still available. What a wonderful, nearby, natural educational display. It’s important this area be designed as an educational experience with, perhaps, a library display within, or outside Oliver Woods Centre. Any intrusive signs within the wetland area would be undesirable. Trails that are set back from the water’s edge

would preserve the pond and all its natural sites. It’s also important this = be properly preserved in view of the ruined waterway/wetland at Linley Point off Rutherford Road. There is no longer wildlife there as it has disgracefully become a forest wasteland with thousands of alder plants and invasive scotch broom. Also, brookwood marsh gasps. The people of Nanaimo would enjoy a meditative place amongst busy lives.

Scare tactics no way to deal with dams To the Editor,

Re: City staff highlight risk from dam breach, June 20. After more than eight months of learning more about dams than I ever wanted to and after meeting with various interested citizens, city staff and council, I reiterate it was never suggested nothing should be done to upgrade the Colliery Dam Park dams. What has been unacceptable is the scare tactics and flippant decisions by the city, which fails to talk about the fact a suspect inundation study of the dams was completed a couple of years ago, which set the dams up for a higher level of classification by the provincial Dam Safety Branch. On the other hand, that other dam in Nanaimo – Westwood Lake – was not subject to an inundation study at all and as far as I have been told, there isn’t a plan to do one within the next few years. Westwood Lake therefore is classified at a lower level of risk than Colliery dams. I also noticed every time the city talks about the risk to human life, the numbers keep going up – now it is 130. The problem with believing anything the city staff have to say, is that they have said different things at different times. They have indicated in past talks that “mitigation of the risk” would be acceptable to the dam safety branch and then the message changed to “removal of all the

water is the only acceptable mitigation to the Dam Safety Branch.” What happened between the first acceptable approach and the second? Mitigation means lowering the risk, not removing the risk completely. That is why it is necessary to back up and ensure a transparent, collaborative process is put in place to make sure Snuneymuxw First Nation, interested stakeholders and residents fully understand the impacts of any decisions ultimately made by the city. When we mess with mother nature we better be sure we know what we are doing. The habitat and surrounding environment has been developing on its own for almost 100 years. Let’s fully understand the ramifications of any options being considered. In the meantime, even though the sky is falling, there is no emergency siren installed at the dams and children and families continue to fish and swim as they have done for years. Judy Forbister Nanaimo

Process excludes right to be heard To the Editor,

Re: City staff highlight risk from dam

breach, June 20. I can appreciate why city staff are approaching the media regarding the Colliery Dam Park dams. Based on delegations to city council and letters to editors, it is obvious residents are more than unhappy with the decision to remove the historical dams. It is not only the loss of the dams at the root of the discontent. It is the lack of two-way consultation. A year or more ago, when it became evident the dams posed a risk, there was no community consultation or engagement. Had the community been engaged so as to consider more alternatives, and the same decision was ultimately arrived at, the city would have likely seen a far reduced outcry from the community. Why? Because people would have felt heard or included in the process. Not so in this process. Suddenly the dams became a huge emergency and the city has rushed to demolish them, ignoring any viable alternatives. It is an irony the anger arising from

this lack of consultation has led to everintensifying conflict that has been emotionally damaging and may lead to physical injury – all to avoid the potential for injury. It is another irony that Snuneymuxw First Nation seems more willing to engage the wider community about the future of the dams than the city. Maybe this is because for more than a century they have largely been ignored and have watched everything precious to them being taken away. Now the rest of us can better understand what they have experienced.

If dams a danger, close park now To the Editor,

Re: City staff highlight risk from dam breach, June 20. If the Colliery Dam Park dams are so unsafe and people are in danger of being flooded, why hasn’t this park been closed months or years ago? It seems to me if such a hazard exists, city council should have taken action to bar entrance to the park and disallow any building in that area. Seems simple enough to me, but then simple always seems to have a way of becoming complicated. One would think the former choice would have been the best.

Curtain call

Joanne Rowland, left, Robb Mowbray, Sheila Bowman and Maureen Cusack from Nanaimo Theatre Group won awards during the North Island Zone Festival for Les Belles Soeurs. PHOTOS CONTRIBUTED

The Nanaimo Theatre Group presents an encore showing of Les Belles Soeurs, after winning six awards for the production during the North Island Zone Festival BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN

a n a i m o T h e a t re G ro u p m e m b e r s walked away from the North Island Zone Festival with an armful of trophies. The group won six awards during the North Island Zone Festival presented by Theatre B.C. The show won best production. Robb Mowbray won best director; Maureen Cusack best actress; Joanne Rowland best supporting actress;

Sheila Bowman best costumes; and Anne McInultyGogo, Zuska Graydon and Wanda Jonsen received recognition for hair styling. “It was quite exciting,” said Mowbray about the awards. It’s the first time Mowbray has won best director, although he has directed a number of shows that have been at the festival before. He said the Nanaimo Theatre group has taken numerous shows to the provincials in the past. This year there was a mix of veteran and new actors.

The theatre group is now preparing to attend the provincial zones and compete with the winners from around B.C. Mowbray said attending the provincial festival is a great opportunity to learn and enhance skills. To raise money to attend provincials the theatre group is presenting Les Belles Soeurs. “This is an opportunity to help us to get our show to the mainstage,” said Mowbray. The encore shows will be different than the shows

the theatre group presented in April because the cast took advice from adjudicators during the festival and changed material. “I think they would see quite a big change from the original,” said Mowbray. Les Belles Soeurs shows at the Bailey Studio, located at 2373 Rosstown Rd., Thursday and Friday (June 27-28) at 8 p.m. and Sunday (June 30) at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15 and are available by calling 250758-7224, e-mailing tickets@nanaimotheatregroup.

com or www.nanaim otheatregroup.com. There will also be baked goods available for sale to raise money at the shows. The Yellow Point Drama Group also walked away with the best production award during the South Island Zone for its production of Looking by Norm Foster. Awards received include best backstage coordination; Brian March best actor; and Barbara Metcalf best actress. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

words worth noting

Gubby Builds a Boat By Kim La Fave and Gary Kent The book is a cross between a picture book and a comic book. It has large illustrations that fill the entire page and the story is moved along through word bubbles. Readers follow Gubby, his cat Puss, and Gubby’s

nephew Cam on their journey to repair the fishing troller Flounder that’s been taking on water. One of my favourite parts was to keep an eye out for Gubby’s cat Puss. The cat was in each illustration and was having his own set of adventures alongside Gubby and Cam. The book could also be used as an education tool for children because it has explanations of boating terms throughout the story. Even adults can learn fishing terminology from the book. I learned quite a few. It also touches on the cultural diversity of B.C.’s coast when Gubby meets with his friend Minoru, a Japanese boat builder, to help build a new troller. To my delight Gubby Builds a Boat came with a boat building kit. It brings out the child in the adult and will give children a little extra fun constructing their own fishing troller when reading the book. The story is recommended for children five and older.

Timbermen win back to back against tough Salmonbellies

SENIOR A lacrosse team two points out of playoff position. BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

The Timbermen reeled in the Salmonbellies in the third period and won the game. The Nanaimo Coastal Windows Timbermen defeated t h e N e w We s t m i n s t e r Salmonbellies 11-8 in senior A lacrosse action Sunday night at Frank Crane Arena to sweep a home-and-home series. The ’Bellies held a 7-5 lead after two periods, but the Timbermen tied it midway through the third and then, with three minutes left, got a game-breaking transition goal from Brad Mazzocato and took over. “We were happy with the way we were playing the first two periods…” said Cody Bremner, the game’s first star. “We just kept calm and said, ‘You know what? We’re playing good and if we keep playing like that they’re going to start to go in.’

“We put our nose to the grindstone and got it done and worked as hard as we have all season, I think, and that showed out there.” Kaleb Toth, coach of the T-men, said his players got better as the game went on. “Our defence stood on their head, they played really well, [goalie Zak] Boychuk played amazing again and our offence found a way to put the ball in the net,” said Toth. “That’s what we need.” Nanaimo didn’t take a single penalty in the game and also seemed to win the loose-ball battle. “When we win those oneon-one battles, chances are we’re going to win the game,” Toth said. Bremner led the offence with a hat trick, Mike Berekoff scored twice including the game-winning goal 30 seconds after Mazzocato’s marker. Jake Emms scored a beauty in the second period, firing the ball into the net as as he was falling backward. Other scorers were Braeden Kmita, Myles Dennett, Kyle Dexter and Doug Langlois. Barclay Hickey was 10-for13 on faceoffs and Boychuk made 46 saves.

“

Winning is such a good feeling that they’re going to keep working hard.

It was the first home-floor victory for the Timbermen and the first consecutive wins, and it puts the Coastal T-men (4-7) right back in the playoff race in the WLA. “We’ve got a lot of guys who want to work hard and want to win,” said Toth. “And … winning is such a good feeling that they’re going to keep working hard because it’s something that you never want to let go of.” GAME ON … The next game for the senior A Timbermen is Saturday (June 29) when they host the first-placed Victoria Shamrocks (7-3) at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena … To see another photo from Sunday night’s game, please visit www.twitter. com/BulletinSports. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Final-inning home run powers Pirates in win

HUB CITY baseball team at .500 after two splits on road.

The Nanaimo Pirates knocked the ball around pretty well on the weekend, but couldn’t climb the standings. The Hub City Paving Pirates premier baseball team outhit the opposition on the mainland, but had to be satisfied with a win and a loss both days against the Coquitlam Reds and the Whalley Chiefs. Nanaimo doubled up Coquitlam 4-2 to start the weekend, but dropped the rematch 8-3. The next day the Hub City boys handled Whalley 4-1 before losing the finale 2-1. The most exciting victory was the opener at Coquitlam’s Mundy Park. The Pirates held a 2-0 lead most of the game, but the home team tied it in the fifth. In the top of the seventh inning, Brady Rogers hit a tworun home run that held up as the game-winning hit. Rogers finished the game 4-for-4 at the plate with three RBIs. Bryan Borrelli was 2-for-4 and the Pirates’ batting order as a whole amassed 11 hits. Luke Skingle earned the win on the mound, throwing a com-

plete game and striking out five. Nanaimo’s batters stayed relatively hot the second game, but Coquitlam got more timely hits and built a healthy lead. Shawn Arabsky singled and doubled for the Pirates, Owen Kelly was 2-for-2 with an RBI and Alex Rogers had two hits. The next day’s doubleheader in Surrey started with a solid win, as Alex Rogers stymied the home team, throwing a complete-game victory while allowing just two hits and striking out six. Devon Geary had a single, a double and two RBIs for the Pirates, Braeden Mousseau was 2-for-3 and Kelly also had two hits. The finale was a close one as the Pirates got a couple of hits in the seventh inning but their rally fell just short. Starting pitcher Tanner Linn allowed one earned run over six innings and Zach Diewert led the offence, going 2-for-3. GAME ON … The Pirates (2020) visit the Parksville Royals (2-29) on Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. at Parksville’s Springwood Park, then travel Saturday to the Fraser Valley to take on the Abbotsford Cardinals (19-12). Next home action for the Pirates is July 3 against the Royals at 6:30 p.m. at Serauxmen Stadium.

Nanaimo News Bulletin 27

Inbrief FLYER NOTICE lacrosse

Junior Timbermen earn first victory The Nanaimo Timbermen junior A lacrosse team got a much-needed win on the weekend. The T-men defeated the Burnaby Lakers by an 18-12 score Sunday on the mainland. The T-men (2-13) aren’t realistically in playoff contention, but their only other win this season was by default and so Sunday marked the first time the team had walked off the floor victorious. Setting the pace in the win was Brett Hawrys, who scored seven goals and added three assists. Corey Shires scored six goals. Mitch Parker had two goals and four assists and Owen Barker and Macgregor Johnston each had a goal and four helpers. Ryan Hanna also tallied in the win and Pete Dubenski made 39 saves. Nanaimo lost 10-8 to the Langley Thunder the day before at Frank Crane Arena. The junior A T-men visit the Delta Islanders on Wednesday (June 26).
