The Nanaimo Mountain BikeClub and City of Nanaimo have created a partnership that will see a dedicated mountain biketrail built around WestwoodLake.

The project will give the cluba much-needed protected trail on city property – many of thecurrent trails mountain bikersuse locally are on private land and are prone to logging or other land-use conflicts – and will also reduce the conflict between hik-ers, runners and mountain bik-ers at Westwood Lake.

“We think we can work together on a trail in that area because there is a lot of land owned by the city there, so, yes, we’re inter-ested,” said Jeff Ritchie, seniormanager of parks for the city.

Early stages of discussionssuggest the trail will begin at the main parking lot at WestwoodLake, head northwest around the lake and eventually link up with the West Ridge and Binx trails, adistance of about six kilometres.

A trail crew from the Interna-tional Mountain Bike Associa-tion of Canada, an international organization dedicated to build-ing world-class trails while help-ing shape land-use policy, will be in Nanaimo Dec. 6-8 to educateboth city staff and club members on sustainable trail design and maintenance.

Mason McGarrigle, trails direc-tor for the Nanaimo club, said having a trail protected by the city would be a first for riders inthe Harbour City. Recently, sec-tions of popular trails like theAbyss, Roller Coaster and Humil-ity have been logged, and some of the Doumont trails are subject to biowaste spraying by Vancouver Island University.

“Having an established park within the city parks means thetrail will be protected whichis good for mountain bikers in Nanaimo,” said McGarrigle.“There isn’t anything like thatyet. We’re hoping that in thefuture we’ll be able to establish more trails, and once they seehow well this is received they’llbe willing to work on a larger net-work of trails.”

The mountain bike club envi-sions an area like Whistler’sLost Lake bike park, where all levels of riders from beginner to advanced can enjoy a networkof signed trails built to a high standard, and that the park canbe used to complement other rec-reational opportunities at West-wood Lake.

“There is a tourism aspect to it for sure,” said Ritchie. “Moun-tain biking is an industry that is growing by leaps and bounds.”

During the IMBA workshop, thecity and club will work together to build the first 200 metres of trail and will then meet again to determine the best approach to complete it.

Look online, in shelters, or at kennels and you’ll find an endlessvariety of pooches that pluck at theheartstrings. Big eyes, soft whim-pers and bodies wiggling with the pleasure of your company are almost too appealing to resist.

But picking the perfect pet involvesmore than just an emotional tug,which is why the Nanaimo Ken-nel Club and trainer Sarah Laneare offering a free class on how to choose the right dog.

“Our goal is to help people make informed choices,” said Lane. “Is it a puppy or mature dog they need, a rescue or purebred, high energy orlow?”

For Lane, helping people find the canine match-made-in-heavenmeans dog owners can avoid cre-ating pets with behavior issues,anxiety and even aggression. Italso means fewer dogs ending up in shelters or the pound.

“We see dogs come here fairlyfrequently that aren’t a match energy-wise with their owners,”said Sue Hughes, manager of thecity pound.

She said people may like thelook or idea of a certain breed but

don’t understand the personalityand traits and therefore trainingrequirements. A husky, for example,is a good-looking dog, but unlessyou’re willing to run it three ormore hours a day, it isn’t the rightone for you.

“An unhappy dog means anunhappy owner,” said Lane, so herpresentation focuses on helping peo-ple understand the potential issuesthat come with different breeds,ages and level of socialization.

She added as an example, that afamily where both parents work allday may not be the best home for apuppy and those seeking a rescuedog should know what kind of train-ing and therapy may be needed.

“The first step in looking for theright dog involves assessing your-self,” she said.

That means considering your life-style, energy level, available timefor training and exercise and whereyou’ll be during the dog’s lifespan.

“A dog can live up to 15 years,”said Lane. “So we’re offering infor-mation on choosing and caring for adog throughout their life.”

Commitment to a canine com-panion is a long-term one andworth considering because the dogthat doesn’t fit today may becometomorrow’s rescue. The class, calledChoices, Choices: Choosing theRight Dog, is being held Thursday(Nov. 15) at Beban Park Social Cen-ter from 6:30-7:30 pm. There is nocharge and everyone is welcome.

Having a gift under the tree to unwrap at Christmas time is a special experience – afeeling of anticipationin the days leading up to Christmas morningand the excitement of opening a gift intendedjust for you.

The organizers of theGreat Nanaimo Toy Drive want to ensureall children have this experience.

“Hope is an impor-tant element of ahuman being’s life and when children receive even one gift, they have an opportunity to participate in a cus-tom that is designed to promote hope, encour-age hope in people,” said Carolyn Iles, toy

drive publicity direc-tor. “Because we want everyone to be hopeful, we like every child to have a present.”

The 29th annual toydrive, which launches Thursday (Nov. 15), col-lects toys and money topurchase presents for underprivileged chil-dren in Nanaimo withthe goal of ensuring no child goes empty-handed at Christmastime.

In 2011, the campaignprovided presents for more than 1,600 chil-dren.

“It’s really about the village raising the child,” said Iles. “It’s away that parents can be supported.”

People can drop off donations at Wood-grove Centre, NanaimoNorth Town Centre,

Country Club Centre, all four Coastal Com-munity Credit Union branches, Nanaimo Fire Rescue fire halls and the Port Theatre.

Hockey fans can alsobring stuffed toys to the Nanaimo Clippers game at Frank CraneArena Dec. 1, where they toss the toys onthe ice when the Clip-pers score their first goal.

The Nanaimo News Bul let in’s annual Pennies for Presents campaign, which alsolaunches Thursday, is one of the toy drive’s biggest revenue gen-erators.

“Our biggest part-ners are the people ofNanaimo,” said Iles. “Without their sup-port, our goal can’t be reached.”

Iles said the age limit was lowered to 16 from17 this year – organiz-ers are anticipating a greater demand for the service due to the economic climate, that many teenagers have jobs of their own by age17. There is also less in the organization’s cof-fers than usual for this time of year, partly because the NanaimoToy Run Society’s sec-ond annual toy run,held in July, was rainedout and public partici-pation was lower.

For toy donations, Iles recommends gift cards or movie tickets for older kids, and for newborns and youngerkids whatever people think will strike a child’s fancy.

Early registration takes place at all

Loaves and FishesCommunity Food Bank distribution locations and registration weekis Nov. 26-30 at the oldMadill building offLabieux Road.

Then on Dec. 19 and

20, the toys are dis-tributed – parents select one large ortwo smaller presents per child along with a book, a stuffed toy if appropriate and a few stocking stuffers.

Iles said the group isalso looking for morevolunteers.

A new provincewide colorectal cancer screening program will kickoff on Vancouver Island April 1.

The primary-care based program,announced by Health minister Margaret MacDiarmid on Nov. 5, is targeting increased patient partici-pation by offering the fecal immu-nochemical test (FIT), a simpletake-home sample kit which doesnot require changes to medication or diet.

General practitioners will now refer patients between the ages of50 and 74 without symptoms fora screening test once every twoyears. Patients with a significantfamily history of colorectal cancer will be referred to their regional health authority for a screening colonoscopy.

A complete provincial colorectalscreening program will be phasedin with all health authorities on board over the spring and summer of 2013.

Through the Medical Services Plan, the Ministry of Health will support general practitioner and specialist (colonoscopist) fees, and the laboratory fee for the FIT while

the BC Cancer Agency will provide overall leadership and provincialoversight of the new model.

The announcement is welcomenews for the Canadian Cancer Society, wich has been advocat-ing for a colorectal cancer screen-ing program for years, says ErinHemmens, coordinator of health promotion at the cancer society’sNanaimo office.

“We are very pleased that thisprogram will be offered to all Brit-ish Columbians,” she said.

Information from the societystates that colorectal cancer is the second-leading cause of deathfrom cancer in men and women combined. In 2012, they estimate2,850 British Columbians will be diagnosed with colorectal cancerand of those, approximately 1,150will die.

“Colorectal cancer screening willsave lives,” said Kathryn Seely,society’s public issues director. “Itis a disease that grows (typically)predictably and slowly so it can be caught by screening before symp-toms occur. If it’s caught beforesymptoms occur, it can usually betreated very well and be curable atthat stage.”

Residents can float their ideasabout the future of the coastal ferry service during public meetings inthe Nanaimo area this week.

The province announced a publicconsultation process two weeks agothat seeks input on how to find $26million in savings over the next four years and how to make the servicemore sustainable, affordable andefficient.

A review earlier this year by the independent B.C. Ferry Commis-sioner identified significant finan-cial challenges.

The commissioner recommended the government, B.C. Ferries, ferryusers and the public all need to be part of the solution. Public open houses take place on Gabriola Island

and in Nanaimo this week.The Gabriola meeting takes place

today (Nov. 13) at The Haven from6-9 p.m. and the Nanaimo meeting takes place Thursday (Nov. 15) from 6-9 p.m. at the Coast Bastion Inn.

Two small group meetings from 9-11 a.m. and 1-3 p.m. also take placeat the Coast Bastion Inn Thursday. To attend a small group meeting,please e-mail [email protected] or call 1-855-387-7882.

No RSVP is required for the open houses.

Those unable to attend the meet-ings have the opportunity to com-ment online.

For more information, please visit www.coastalferriesengagement.ca.

Ferries consultation begins this week

Bottled water will soon be unavail-able at city-owned recreational facilities in an effort to promote theuse of municipal water.

In June, Nanaimo city councilvoted to become a Blue Community after being approached by the Coun-cil of Canadians Mid-Island Chap-ter, Vancouver Island Water Watch and the Canadian Union of PublicEmployees. Being a Blue Commu-nity includes recognizing water asa human right; promoting publicly financed, owned and operated waterand waste water services, and ban-ning the sale of bottled water in public facilities.

Phasing out bottled water has been a gradual process as the parks,recreation and culture departmenthas worked with contractors andvendors to clear out existing inven-tory. Currently, all plastic water bot-tles have been removed from vend-

ing machines and concessions willno longer sell bottled water.

Other beverages, such as sodas and sports drinks, will continue to be sold in city vending machines.

According to the city, communitygroups hosting events in city facili-ties or parks are still allowed to pro-vide or sell bottled water but will beencouraged to explore alternatives.

At city facilities, users will find clearly marked water fountains andwill also be able to purchase reus-able water bottles from the frontcounters of major recreation facili-ties in the city. Recyclable paper cups will also be available from dispensers located near most foun-tains.

The city will also install signage to remind visitors to bring theirown water bottles with them whenattending events or programs atcity facilities.

Bottled water phased out of city facilities

NIOMI PEARSONTHE NEWS BULLETIN

BY NIOMI PEARSONTHE NEWS BULLETIN

The rich, cultural history of the Red River Valley andits people will reach more 200children in the Nanaimo-Lady-smith school district as Geor-gia Avenue School prepares to host Métis Awareness Daysthis week.

The two-day annual event, a partnership between the dis-trict and the Mid-Island Métis Association, has been a local tradition for the last 15-20 years. Students in Grades 3-5 from across the district take turns visiting the school and taking part in activities andlearning stations which cover everything from Métis beading to jigging.

“It’s a way for kids to havehands-on experience with a culture that may not be over-flowing with a lot of text,” said Laura Tait, the district’s prin-cipal of aboriginal education. “They’re going be able to be connected in a fun way and beengaged and it’s going to makeway more sense when they actually study it back in theclassroom.”

According to Tait, the defini-tion of Métis is ‘mixed blood’, and refers to a specific groupof people dating back to the furtrade of the 1800s, a time whenmany British and French-Cana-dian fur traders married FirstNations and Inuit women.

“It is very distinct to Mani-toba, Saskatchewan andAlberta, and even more so tothe Red River Valley,” she said.“Because these children were born with both First Nationsand European ancestry, quiteoften they weren’t included ineither of those two groupings, and therefore became quite bonded and connected withintheir own grouping of people, and basically created their own culture, traditions, language and way of life.”

Of the 1,998 students who make up the aboriginal popu-lation in School District No. 68, about 391 are Métis, Tait said.

“We’ve got so many cul-tures here in Canada, it’s very important that these individu-als maintain that strength, and keeping it alive and reviv-ing it as much as possible is a definite goal,” Tait said. “Oneof the big questions is how do we increase the knowledge and awareness of all children andadults in our system aroundaboriginal perspective, history,colonization, contemporary context – and [Awareness Days]

is certainly one of the ways.”Both days will kick off with

a morning prayer before the activities begin. In addition to learning about Mitchif (Métis language), the students will visit displays, learn finger weaving, snack on Métis foods such as fried bread and learnthe art of jigging, a Métis dance.

“Often, we also have a teepeeand there’s storytelling inside,”Tait said.

Métis Awareness Days takesplace Wednesday and Thurs-day (Nov. 14-15) from 9:30 a.m.to 2 p.m. and is in accordancewith the district’s Aborigi-nal Education Enhancement Agreement. It also coincides with Métis Cultural Aware-ness week, proclaimed by the City of Nanaimo for the weekof Nov. 12-17.

Marijuana reform advocates hopeWashington and Colorado states’ vote Tuesday to legalize and tax marijuanasales will add momentum to their push for change in B.C.

While it’s not yet clear if the U.S. federal government will allow state-by-state legalization of recreationalmarijuana use – other states alreadyallow medical marijuana sales – the votehas huge implications here.

Washington state estimates it would collect $560 million in the first year froma planned 25-per-cent tax on the sale of licensed, regulated marijuana throughauthorized stores.

If enacted, this could also cause a partial collapse of B.C.’s estimated $7-billion-a-year illegal pot industry, as growers relocate to the U.S. to avoid theneed to smuggle.

Recently, the Union of B.C. Municipalities passed a resolution calling for marijuana to be decriminalized.They’d rather pot be regulated and taxedinstead, much like alcohol.

The U.S. votes are a progressivemove toward responsible marijuana use. It’s time for B.C. to take a similarstep toward decriminalization, if not legalization of marijuana. The potentialtax revenue and the opportunity toreduce law enforcement costs, and help unclog our court system is too much topass up.

Sensible B.C., a campaign headed by B.C. marijuana activist and medical potdispenser Dana Larsen, wants to followin the footsteps of both Washingtoncampaigners and B.C.’s successfulanti-HST drive. The group aims to get enough signatures on a petition to forcea provincial referendum on marijuanadecriminalization, through B.C.’s Recalland Initiative Act.

It’s time we take our antiquated marijuana laws and follow the lead of our neighbours to the south and let thepeople decide if it’s time for a change.

C A N A D I A NCOMMUNITYNEWSPAPERAWARD 2012

People shouldn’t judge others without knowing anything about them.

I had an upsetting conversation with my mother recently about some individuals who had calledher from the Canadian CancerSociety looking for donations.

The conversation she had withone volunteer was the root of theproblem.

Calling for donationsis a common practicemany organizations use to help supportresearch and localsupport programs for families touched bycancer.

This volunteer had contacted my motherespecially to ask her to donate some of her artwork as prizes at an upcoming fundraising event.

She declined to donate, not believing in giving prizes at events, but that people shouldparticipate in fundraisers because they feel strongly aboutthe cause.

The volunteer, according tomom, then proceeded to tell her she (mom) had no idea what these families, who are touched bycancer, go through.

My mother is a cancer survivor,diagnosed with lymphoma when I was in elementary school.She underwent both radiationand chemotherapy, and doesn’t usually like to share anything about her cancer with others. She

barely even wants to speak abouther experience with family.

She doesn’t attend any specialcancer survivor dinners or events. She’s a private person,and probably isn’t going to behappy with me about sharing thisstory.

However, I feel it’s importantto let people know that cancer

touches everyone andthat people shouldn’tassume that just because a person looks– or sounds – well, they haven’t had some sort of illness or aren’tcurrently undergoing a procedure at the moment.

I could tell theconversation with thevolunteer had upset her. And in turn, it upset me.

I remember when I was in school and she was undergoing treatment after first being diagnosed, I didn’t know whatwas going on.

I don’t think my parents quiteknew how to tell me about thediagnosis. I’m not sure they knew how to deal with it themselves.

The treatment was harsh. She was part of an experimental procedure at the time, and is the only one who survived out of five women undergoing the treatment.

I don’t remember much, I’m sure I’m blocking out a lot ofmemories from the time.

I remember visiting her in thehospital – she hates the smell

of hospitals now because sheassociates it with her treatment – and I remember her losing her hair and how it upset her. She decided to wear a hat to cover itup.

She lost her fingernails from the treatment and they had tocontinually stop treatment for certain amounts of time becauseit was too harsh and her red bloodcell count needed to replenishbefore they proceeded again.

During some of her mostintensive treatment, I stayed with my grandparents. I didn’t like it because we couldn’t take my catto their house.

My cat was my rock at thattime in my life. When I didn’thave either of my parents, I told her all my secrets and worries. Not having my cat at my grandparent’s house made thesituation worse.

Since my mother underwent treatment, there have beenseveral advancements in cancer medicine.

These advancements are thanks to people who have donated time and money to the cause. I alsosupport the cause through money and growing out my hair anddonating it for wigs.

The Canadian Cancer Agency is an important cause to support,but volunteers should be awarethere are many people who have been affected by the disease.

And the person they are talking to on the other end of the phonecould be a cancer survivor.

To the Editor,Re: Nurse practitioners hope to ease

pressure on health-care system, Nov. 3.

Bravo to the Vancouver Island Health Authority for employing twonurse practitioners and applause tothe nurses who have worked hard and committed themselves to this emerging role in health care.

At least 10 years ago, Roy Romanov, head of the Commissionon the Future of Health Care,spent much time, effort and care toexplore how the health-care systemcould be made more efficient and responsive. He not only asked ques-tions of stakeholders, he listened tothe answers and suggestions. Among the suggestions was one to make bet-ter use of nurse practitioners.

The problems in terms of proce-dures can be solved by providing protocols for both NPs and doctorsto guide their practice. When some-thing goes wrong there are policiesand procedures. If the patient is hos-pitalized, the nurse calls the doctor.

A housebound patient with a chronic disease can be seen morequickly by an NP. If hospitalizationis indicated, the NP can admit thepatient and appropriate treatment can be initiated hours, if not days,sooner than if the patient eitherwaited for a doctor appointment or went to the emergency room.

There is an issue with NPs having their own panel of patients. Let’snot forget the utilization of nurse practitioners is always under the supervision of a physician or a group of physicians. If a patient isnot responding to a given protocol, the NP can always consult withthe doctor to change the treatment that is not effective. Just as there isan atmosphere of trust between apatient and his/her doctor, there is asimilar trust between the doctor and the nurse practitioner.

Based on my experience, utilizing nurse practitioners within their scope of practice is a win for all concerned: the physicians who areoverworked, the clients who are waiting too long for care; and the

nurses with expanded training who can assist both the doctor and thepatient.

Anticipating a mistake insulting to professionals

To the Editor,Re: Nurse practitioners hope to

ease pressure on health-care system,Nov. 3.

What simple minded, egocentric,entitlement addict even questionsmaking use of nurse practitioners?

The very statement “what hap-pens when something goes wrong?”insults the competence of every nurse, every doctor, every specialistand every hospital administrator in the province.

Competently managed medicalcentres have an escalation meth-odology. No medical professional,no matter how specialized, knows everything. Everyone has a limit to their capabilities, and every com-petent professional realizes whenthose boundaries are being crossed.Nurse practitioners are no differ-ent.

Medical services need to be opti-mized to deliver maximum benefit for minimum cost. The success of that optimization should be reflect-ed in the tenure and compensationof the management involved.

If that means expanded use ofnurse practitioners, reigistered nurses, licensed practical nurses or even volunteers straight off thestreet, so be it.

The only thing that matters arethe results: quality, effective healthcare at a reasonable price.

Doug JonesNanaimo

Need for governance study a puzzling choice

To the Editor,At the Nov. 5 meeting of the

committee of the whole, councilapproved by a 6-3 vote an expen-diture estimated to be between

$9,000 and $50,000 for a consultantto study governance in the City ofNanaimo.

What is governance?Questioned on this, city staff

responded: “Council has definedgovernance through its policies, practices and structures in addi-tion to the parameters of theCommunity Charter.”

You may ask why, when coun-cil and staff exercise the pow-ers which they were given by the Community Charter or havetaken unto themselves with their“policies, practices and structures”every day, that we should need to hire a consultant to tell us what those are rather than having it defined by the well-paid staff that exercise them routinely and the council which routinely makes decisions about them?

Clearly, if we have a misunder-standing on these points then such a document is required, not onlyfor a consultant, but for council, staff and citizens as well. With such a defining document complet-ed in-house, then external expertscan critique our “governance” andmake suggestions for improvement.

Not long ago some councillors suggested that the city hire anexternal consultant to undertakea core review of our services, a much broader and more inclusiveundertaking than this. Staff imme-diately responded that they couldeffectively and efficiently perform such a task themselves. Yet con-cerning this much reduced ques-tion – really just a part of a core review – staff argues it is neces-sary to hire someone to prepare the report which they can then proceed to critique. Why?

If council feels that it does notknow its policies, practices andstructures in addition to the parameters of the CommunityCharter, nor either does staff, then it is of small wonder that so manylament the manner in which coun-cil too often conducts our business.

Ron BolinNanaimo

To the Editor,I hope there is no offense

taken with this letter where none was intended.

My goal is to let the public know that there are many areas that areso often overlooked whenproviding for the less for-tunate in Nanaimo and the surrounding commu-nities.

Although food is a pri-mary concern for those on welfare, people withmultiple barriers andthose, like myself, who areclassified as people with disabilities, there are somany things that are over-looked by supermarketswhen putting bags of foodtogether.

This is just a short listof things that go beyond basic food items: toilet paper, diapers, pads/tam-pons, cleaning products,dish and laundry soap, toothpaste and razors. Items like condiments – ketchup, mustard, relish, mayonnaise and pickles – just aren’t in anyone’s budget. Almost one-third of my grocery costs are onnon-food items.

Although the cost offood along with rent, hydro (which doubled a year ago), and groceriesclimbs higher annually, our income has remainedunchanged for more thana decade. In an era whenpublic ‘servants’ can give themselves a 30 per cent salary increase, we at theother end of the income spectrum struggle from

month to month trying todecide whether we shouldpay all our rent or buy allthe groceries we need.

It’s unimaginable to realize the stress when you can only buy half thethings on your grocery list. It’s a continual refin-ing of one’s list for the month to have some sem-blance of food that willmake meals for the month.What can’t be bought onemonth, goes onto the listfor the next month.

Personally, I have a hia-tus hernia and I can’t eatspicy foods. So, the spa-ghetti sauce which is in every bag of donated food is something I can’t eat… I give it away. I use the pasta with a can of tunaand if I have mayonnaise, I make a cold casserole.

Perhaps supermarkets might catch on and putsome of these things intofreezer bags, or super-market bags. I understandthat these items cost more than what the public iscurrently spending for thepoor in the community.

Another example is few– very few – of the agen-cies that offer toilet paper, can only supply one roll.And lastly, these agencies are set so far apart acrossthe city, and it’s like pull-ing teeth to get all the information needed to live.

Living in poverty is basi-cally a full-time occupa-tion.

BY RACHEL STERNTHE NEWS BULLETIN

For four days people can fol-low a path of artistic dis-covery leading to the homesand studios of potters,

sculptures, painters and fine jew-elry makers.

More than 30 artists are showcas-ing their work in the 24th annualCedar and Yellow Point Artisans’ Country Christmas Tour Thursday(Nov. 15) to Sunday (Nov. 18) from 10a.m. to 5 p.m. This year’s tour fea-tures 21 destinations and variousartistic mediums.

For painter and photographerNicole Vaugeois, it’s the third year she’s participated in the tour. Vau-geois, the owner of The BroodyRooster Gallery, is displaying her work as well as two guest artisansat her gallery, Lesley Lorenz andMarci Leighton.

“It’s nice to have that sharedcommunity energy,” said Vaugeoisabout the artisans’ tour.

Her gallery is a barn nestled on her farm. Vaugeois said she enjoysspeaking to visitors to the gallery about her work because her inspi-ration comes from the rural land-scapes surrounding her. It gives people the unique opportunity to seesome of the landscapes and objectsthat are depicted in her work.

Vaugeois said it’s hard to pinpointwhen she started on the path to becoming an artist.

“I’ve always been a doodler andsketcher,” she said.

In recent years, she has pursued acrylic painting. Her pursuit of pho-

tography began when she decidedto take out the camera and capture some images to paint. While cap-turing those images she discoveredthe joy of photography as an artmedium in itself.

Fellow tour artisan Claudia Lohm-ann, of Claudia Lohmann Gallery, started painting 10 years ago. She grew up in an artistic household with a father who was a painter anda sibling who was a potter.

It’s the second year she’s partici-pated in the tour. Lohmann said sheenjoys talking to visitors who drop by and discuss her work. She upcy-cles, taking old pieces of furniture and painting them.

“I choose a couple of colours and just go wild,” said Lohmann.

Lohmann starts her design by get-ting a pencil and pressing it into thewood to sketch a pattern. She creates geometric abstract paintings on thefurniture pieces or on canvas. Hergallery is a little cottage located onher property. However, she paints in a studio located in her home.

The tour also includes work by Snuneymuxw artist Noel Brown, who hand carves copper, silver andgold jewelry and traditional cedar carvings. His gallery, like many on the tour, is usually open by appoint-ment only. People can also checkout paintings and pottery by artistsTom Daly and Sue Thomas at the Blue Ox Studio or the work of printmaker and painter Kathy Barnson at Barnson Studio.

Tour brochures with a map and artist descriptions are available atwww.cyartisans.com.

sportsInbrief

BY GREG SAKAKITHE NEWS BULLETIN

T h e N a n a i m oTimbermen junior Alacrosse team wants tobe hard-working andhard to play against.

That’s the messagethat’s going to be com-ing from behind thebench, after Brad Dou-gan was named the team’s new coach. TheB.C. Junior A LacrosseLeague club made the announcement Thurs-day.

“Head coaching’s a big job and I’m ready for the challenge and what-ever it brings,” Dougansaid. “I want to put my heart and soul into thisteam and get this thing turned around.”

He said he knew after last summer thatTimbermen manage-ment wasn’t happy with how the seasons hadgone for the senior A and junior A teams. So this fall, Dougan soughtto find out where he stood, and indicatedinterest in coaching the juniors. It put him at the top of the list when the club decidedto make a change.

“He’s going to be ableto hold the players a lot

more accountable bothto themselves and eachother,” said Jon Nichol-son, general managerof the junior A T-men.“He’s really big oninstilling hard workinto the players.”

Dougan has beenassistant coach of thesenior A Timbermenfor two and a half sea-sons after five seasonsplaying for that team.

“So there’s not goingto be any real systemsthat he hasn’t seen,both defensively andoffensively…” Nichol-son said. “He’s a defen-sive guy, but he’s will-ing to take some risksand take some chanceson the other end of thefloor as well. I thinkthat’s going to be a goodfit for our club.”

Even though theT-men had an ugly 3-17-1record in 2012, Dougansaid the team was miss-ing manpower all sea-son and thinks they’rebetter than their recordsuggests.

He knows what it takes to make it to theMinto Cup as a player,and it continues toinspire him.

“I never won it. It’sbeen a bitter taste in mymouth ever since,” Dou-gan said. “So if I can bebehind the bench to getto a national champi-onship again, that’s mygoal.”

Large’s crease during Thursday’s game against Comox at the Nanaimo Ice Centre.

Comeback win lifts BuccaneersBY GREG SAKAKITHE NEWS BULLETIN

The Nanaimo Buccaneers came up with the sort of win that can help them turn the corner.

The city’s VancouverIsland Junior HockeyLeague team came back tobeat the division-leading Comox Valley Glacier Kingsby a 5-3 score Thursday atthe Nanaimo Ice Centre.

Nanaimo went into the third period trailing 3-1, but scored three unanswered goals and then an emptynetter to ice the win.

“We realized it was only two goals and this team,we can overcome that andwe’ve learned how to,” saidBrad Knight, the team’scoach. “I thought we played

hard all night. I thought wewere the better team.”

Garrett Dunlop put the Bucs up 1-0 in the firstperiod, but the visitorsscored three times in thesecond period.

The comeback startedwith a goal from Dan Fogli-etta that bounced in from behind the goal line.

“We needed something like that to really get us going, either a big hit ora greasy goal like that, itall helps,” said JohnathanSpeer, Bucs forward.

Corey Renwick tied it soon after, and then withseven minutes left a Glacier Kings defender fell down behind his net and LucasFranssen stole the puck and got it to Speer for the win-ning goal.

“[He] made a great pass out in front. All I had to dowas pretty much angle my stick and it went in,” saidSpeer.

Renwick added one moreand Cameron Large posted the win with 24 saves.

Knight said the puck luck and the victory are rewardsfor his team’s recent hardwork.

“We’ve been using our youth as an excuse and we’ve decided to stop using it as an excuse,” he said.“There’s goals in everybody.You’ve just got to work hardand you’ve got to want it.”

GAME ON … The Buc-caneers (8-10-1) host theOceanside Generals (8-10-2) on Thursday (Nov. 15) at 7:15 p.m. at the NIC.
