Nanaimo is sitting smack in the middle of an area blanketedby an extreme fire danger rating with no relief on the horizon.
Nanaimo’s fire danger rat-ing hasn’t changed since early August and with little rain andtemperatures expected to jumpback up into the mid 20s, thereis no relief in the forecast.
“It’s going to be cool, but byWednesday our forecasters aretelling us it’s going to reboundto hot and dry, mid to high 20sand no rain in sight,” said Marg Drysdale, Coastal Fire Centre spokeswoman on Monday.
The area that will remain under an extreme risk of wild-fire outbreaks extends from just south of Courtenay and includes all of the east side ofthe Island to its southern tip.
There have been few human-caused fires this summeraround Nanaimo, but people need to continue to be extra cautious.
Drysdale said people tend todrop their guard when chil-dren go back to school and fallapproaches.
“Our concern is that people do not understand the danger,simply because they think it’s fall and they don’t understand that we’re still in wildfire season,” Drysdale said. “It’s
not entirely unusual for the Coastal Fire Centre to have a fire season in September, butit is quite unusual that we’resaying ‘extreme’ at this timeof year – extreme and ongoingextreme.”
Drysdale said there is no signof any rain or cooler tempera-tures that could lower the wild-fire risk anytime soon.
Fire season on B.C.’s south coast tends to be offset from therest of the province because oflocal moisture levels and veg-etation species, which take along time to dry out, but remain dry until the coast gets a lot ofrain.
“We were doing really wellup to about three weeks intoAugust, but since the third week in August we’ve had a lot ofhuman-caused fires,” Drysdalesaid.
“Nanaimo has been fairlydecent. Surprisingly, therehave been no issues there, butthroughout the rest of theCoastal Fire Centre we’ve hada real spurt of human-causedfires that we’d really like not tohave had.”
The only wildfire of note cur-rently burning on the Island is at Wolf River in StrathconaPark near Buttle Lake.
It now covers 150 hectaresand will be allowed to burn,Drysdale said.
Fire danger ratingremains extremeWarm, dry weather leaves no relief in sight for crews monitoring parched Island forests

Unusual firenear Barsby
A small fire thatstarted at the base of a power pole has piqued the interest of the firedepartment in Nanaimo.
Firefighters respondedshortly after 9 a.m.Thursday to snuff outthe blaze that started at the base of a utility pole next to a lacrossebox in the 700 blockof Howard Avenue near John Barsby Community School.
Rick Kwasnecha,Nanaimo Fire Rescuefire prevention officer,said the fire only did minor damage to the pole and the lacrosse box.
He said there was evidence people had been smoking in the area and the fire might have sparked from asmoldering cigarette.
He noted the timeof day for a fire to be intentionally set would have been unusual.

The weeds some people are trying to eradicate on their
lawns and in their garden beds could be wild plantsthey can eat.
Stephanie Mills said many plants people viewas weeds and try to elimi-nate, such as chickweedor dandelions, could be used as food. Mills has adegree in biology and istrained in clinical herbalmedicine and gives ediblewild food tours for the Nanaimo and Area LandTrust and the City of Nanaimo’s Parks, Recre-ation and Culture depart-ment.
On her tours, Millssaid people are often sur-prised to discover howmany edible plants are growing in the Nanaimo area.
She cautions that peoplewho want to start gather-ing should get training,do their research by read-ing books on the topic and go with an expertbefore collecting on theirown so they don’t gather plants that look similarto edible varieties but are toxic.
People also need to becautious about wherethey gather because someareas could be sprayed with pesticides and gath-erers shouldn’t strip wild plants bare.
“There are ethics forgathering from the wild.You want to ensure youare not gathering rare plants and not gathering too much from one area,” she said.
A good rule of thumbis to only gather about 10 per cent of a plant to ensure there is enoughfor wildlife foraging and for the plant to reseeditself, she said.
Gatherers often haveto venture out of urban areas for collecting.
“It’s tough in urban areas. It’s a lot harder tofind those plants,” saidMills.
A good place to start getting familiar and using wild edible plantsis by purchasing plants or seeds and planting them in the garden or in pots on balconies or window-sills, said Mills. Peoplecan also sometimes pickup plants at farmers’markets.
The second annual Har-vest Festival Saturday(Sept. 15) in the Old CityQuarter will also allowpeople to learn about wild edible plants.
The festival is 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. along Wes-
ley Street and features educational displays and interactive presentations covering local food issues on topics such as ediblewild foods, sustainability, food security, organiclocal food sources and urban agriculture.
It also includes live entertainment, a play-and-learn area for kids, which features a petting farm, and a fresh foodfair. It also features a Top Chef competition where
people can purchase tick-ets to sample food created by local chefs made from local ingredients.
People can make a dona-tion to the Loaves andFishes Community FoodBank for a ballot to vote forthe People’s Choice Award.
Festival admission isfree, but vendor fare andtickets to sample foodfrom the Top Chef compe-tition must be purchased.
Robyn Tonack, market-ing and events coordina-
tor for the DowntownNanaimo Business Improvement Associa-tion, said the festival will give people a chance tolearn about the local foodindustry.
Engineering firmsare also constructing acornucopia built out of canned food as part of theCanned Food Sculptureevent. For more informa-tion, please visit www.dnbia.ca.

A temporary freeze by the Canada RevenueAgency on The Land Conservancy’s accounts was lifted last week as the organization’s board continues to work on financial restructuring.
CRA applied the freeze due to Goods and Ser-vice Tax arrears owing on a property transaction and employee tax arrears.
A $23,000 cheque to CRA was caught in the freeze, according to a TLC release.
“CRA had frozen our accounts, making it impossible for us to operate,” said Briony Penn, vice-chairwoman and co-founder of the conser-vancy. “TLC’s continued cash flows from mem-bers, supporters, and income earning facilities has enabled us to pay down these arrears signifi-cantly. CRA understands that allowing us to oper-ate is to our mutual benefit, and is critical to thesuccess of the restructuring process.”
TLC has two properties near Nanaimo – Wild-wood, widely recognized as a model for eco-forestry, and 56 hectares of land on the lowerNanaimo River, which is part of a 99-year leasewith the Regional District of Nanaimo.
Penn said TLC’s board of directors is working on a sustainability plan that will enable the con-servancy the opportunity to continue to protectspecial places in British Columbia. That plan is expected to be revealed at a general meeting onNov. 3.
According to the release, TLC cannot legallysell its conservation properties. Like all chari-ties it must comply with legislation and its own bylaws and standards of practices.
Penn said in a worst case scenario, propertieswould be transferred to other charitable organi-zations with a similar mandate, such as Nanaimo and Area Land Trust, but added TLC is expect-ing two significant government grants before the end of the calendar year.
Across the province, TLC is involved with 300 projects totalling about 48,500 hectares.
Restructuring continues at conservancy

The district will work with Van-couver-based Ion Branding andDesign on a new graphic identity this year.
The school board wants to beginusing the name Nanaimo-Lady-smith Public Schools as opposed toSchool District 68.

The province’s all-party Select Standing Committee onfinance and government ser-vices will host provincewidebudget consultations in the coming weeks, but Nanaimowon’t be part of the 22-city schedule.
Three of those cities – Daw-son Creek, Fort Nelson andSalmon Arm – will have pub-lic hearings via video confer-ence sessions.
A spokesperson for the committee said consultations rotate through B.C. munici-palities year-to-year, and Nanaimo’s last consultation was through video conferencein 2010.

“The consultation processprovides an important oppor-tunity for British Columbi-ans to provide input on nextyear’s provincial budget,” said Douglas Horne, commit-tee chairman, in a release.
Surrey will host the firstpublic hearing on Sept. 17, after the Budget 2013 Consul-tation Paper is release by theMinistry of Finance.

fin Island and to the west side of Green-land.
“The most memo-rable thing would bethe ice – it dominatedthe whole land-scape,” said Thor-steinsdottir. “And each bit of it was so different. Some of itwas the deepest blues you could ever imag-ine. Some of it waslike crystal almost.”
While the Nanaimostudent is originallyfrom Iceland, this isthe first time she’s ever seen ice on that scale, especially the icebergs the ship passed, some of which towered abovethem.
But even thoughthere was lots of ice around, Thorsteins-dottir learned from educators and Inuitvillagers how there is less of it in the Arc-tic now than in the recent past.
The boat went into some fjords in Greenland and BaffinIsland that educa-tors told the students were completelyinaccessible not too long ago becausethey were so packed with ice.
“We could seemarks on the moun-tains where the ice
used to be,” saidThorsteinsdottir.
During a visit to
a 500-person Inuit village on BaffinIsland, she learned that the ice they hunt on is getting thinner and in places can beextremely dangerousto go onto.
Thorsteinsdottirsaid it is one thing to listen to people talk about climate changehere in Nanaimo, but quite another to hear about it in the Arctic.
“They’re actually experiencing it andliving it,” she said.“It provided me
and so many oth-ers with a greaterunderstanding and deeper respect forour planet. I’m going to really use what Ilearned to shape howI want to live my life. I really want to try tomake a positive effect on my fellow class-mates, maybe spark some interest in whatI learned.”
Her activism willinclude a presenta-tion to the Dover BayEco Club, of whichThorsteinsdottir isan active member.
Besides the envi-ronmental message,a highlight of thetrip was seeing polarbears floating bythe ship on large ice sheets.
“They were just there, in the middleof nowhere,” said Thorsteinsdottir.“We saw them swimfrom ice sheet to ice sheet.”
The trip also fea-tured glimpses ofseals, beluga whalesand narwhales.
When visiting a vil-lage on Baffin Island, narwhal was one ofthe delicacies.
“I can’t say it was the best thing I’d ever tasted,” she said.

There comes a time when good, old-fashioned common sense has to be the measuring stick in keeping us safe.
The Canadian Paediatric Society’scall on the provinces and territories to legislate helmet use and training courses for young operators of all-terrain vehiclesmakes good sense. Safety should always be foremost in everyone’s mind when on any type of vehicle – motoized or human-
powered.But calling for a national
ban on anyone under16-years-old from driving an ATV is heavy-handed.
It screams of bubble-wraplegislation – going to anextreme to protect us all from activities that have the
potential to cause harm.That harm, on occasion, will have
serious or fatal results. But you cannot cocoon the world to keep it safe.
Richard Stanwick, society presidentand chief medical officer for theVancouver Island Health Authority, said riding an ATV is a challenging undertakingeven for an adult.
He said people are often injuredgetting on a vehicle for the first time and underestimating the skill required tooperate it.
But a ban is not the answer. Does turning 16 suddenly make a youngperson capable of riding with skill? No, that only comes with experience.
We have to trust young people learning to ride are doing so under the guidanceof adults who demand they wear a helmet and other protective gear, that they are on a size-appropriate vehicle andride a course or trail that complements their ability.
Introducing people to ATVs at an earlyage, and allowing them to learn properly, can reduce accidents.
It won’t prevent them all, but it’s better than the free-for-all that could occur whenthey turn of age and take the controls.

Let’s face it, cars and bikesdon’t mix.
It’s why a lot of cities have bike lanes. Nanaimo has biketrails, but comes up short onbike/car road sharing, which leads to spats between ridersand drivers from time to time.
Ideally, getting drivers andriders to get along is just a mat-ter of following basic road rules and a littlecommon sense.
Reality is another matter and – sorry cyclists, you’re not going to like this – cyclists in my experi-ence are frequently atfault.
I have my momentswhen I drive and ridestupidly, but I ride with an attitude thatit’s not a matter of if, but when I or one of the driversaround me will do something stupid. I try to be responsible enough for my actions to keep myself and everybody else safejust like when I’m driving, butI’ve seen my share of cyclists get upset, rude and even down-right belligerent with drivers when close calls occur.
Mistakes happen. Get over it. Neither the universe or the
rules of the road give cyclistsspecial protections and privi-leges and cyclists with self-righ-teous attitudes who choose to rub elbows with heavy machin-ery don’t foster good relations with motorists by throwing tan-
trums when things go sideways.I ride with the belief that most
drivers actually aren’t out to try and kill me. It helps.
I had a cyclist holler obsceni-ties at me once when I made a right turn in front of him, even though he was scooting along inthe blind spot on the right sideof my car, between the traveling
lane on the and a row of parked cars, anyone of which could have opened a door inhis path.
He put himself in areally dangerous posi-tion – a classically stupid manoeuvreI found myself per-forming recently.
A truck passedme, turned right at an intersection infront of me and, sure
enough, I let out a, “What the @#$!?”
The driver slowed and yelledhis apology, but according to the road rules, I was at fault, not the guy driving the pickup.
I waved, smiled – sheepishly– and rode off thinking, that happened because neither of us were sure of what road rulesapplied in that case.
Drivers, on the other hand, need to learn where their vehicles are. A lot of cars you drive seem like they’re closer to objects around them than they really are.
As a result, a lot of drivers pass in the oncoming lane to get
around me. It’s unnecessary and often dangerous.
If I’m riding the road shoul-der on the right side of the line (assuming the road has a pavedshoulder) and a car passes, we won’t hit each other as long as we both stay on our sides of theline.
On narrow, rural roads with soft gravel shoulders I oftenride a bike with wider tires thatallow me to ride in the gravelso cars can pass. If I’m riding a skinny-tire bike designed forpavement, I plan a different route.
I know this all sounds likea sermon, but cycling will get more dangerous with fallweather, especially on dark, wet nights when road glare blinds drivers to cyclists in spite ofreflective clothing, lights and reflectors.
Also, the way things seem tobe going, I’ll predict there is going to be a lot more bicycleson the road in coming yearsand it’s going to get tougher, noteasier, to stay safe as the roads become more congested.
Anyone who cycles and haswound up having a close callor a crash because they didn’t know what the rules are canlook them up by visiting theBikeSense website at www.bikesense.bc.ca.
Drivers should have a look at those too, so we’re all work-ing from the same script whenwe’re out on the road.

www.nanaimobulletin.com OPINION Tuesday, September 11, 2012 Nanaimo News Bulletin 7
To the Editor,I have come to the sad
conclusion that summerhas a high lost or missing pet rate for both cats anddogs.
This is due to warmer weather which causes pets to venture further from their homes and causes them to seek out shadeand cooler places to laysuch as open garages orunder decks.
I have also noticed thatsome people do everything in their power to get theirpet back as quickly as pos-sible. They call the SPCA, animal shelter, veterinar-ians, newspapers and put ads on websites.
Now while the person istrying to track down their pet, there is the other side of this story – those who know the whereabouts of that pet but don’t do any-thing.
If you notice an animalin your area make a quickcall to the SPCA. Mostlikely if the pet is lost or missing, the SPCA hasbeen informed.
If you can get close to the animal, check to see ifthere is a tattoo, or if theanimal is fixed. This is a strong indication that thepet is ‘owned’.
We need everyone to be aware of ‘new pets’ intheir area so the animal has a higher chance of getting home. For cats, it is easy for someone to just take it in.
Please be aware of the animals in your area.There are web sites like Facebook that have an ani-mal lost and found page. Nanaimo Craigslist has alost and found in the com-munity section, as does Kijiji.
So many pets could be reunited with their wor-ried owners if everyone did their part. Then the animal shelters and SPCA
would have less animals totake care of.

Lack of jail timea sad commentary
To the Editor,Again we learn that yet
another convicted Stanley Cup rioter won’t serve anyjail time.
How anyone can call this
“just” is beyond me.But we all have seen
rationalization of the most outrageous behaviour. Apparently destroying property, trespassing,looting, and stealing is now“rationalized” as not jail worthy.
No word on whether therewas an order that the thieffully reimburse the victims.
Do we all have to wait until the apologists for evil become crime victims directly before justice becomes a priority?
Let’s ask those who havethe power to reform this travesty. When are Prime Minister Stephen Harperand B.C. Premier ChristyClark going to act to fixa clearly broken justice system?
Canada needs to replacejudges who do not know what justice is with oneswho do.

To the Editor,John Fletcher, editor-
in-chief of the CanadianMedical Association Journal, recently spokeout against the age old practice of spanking disobedient children.
Fletcher wrote it istime for Canada to remove this anachronis-tic excuse for poor par-enting from the statute book. He also said cor-poral punishment canlead to drug addiction,depression, etc.
He failed, though,to give a description between the differenceof firm and loving disci-pline and outright child abuse. We should notetoday that depression, anxiety, and drug addic-tion are at all-time highsin a culture more frown-ing upon a spank.
I believe that to outlawreasonable corporal punishment is far over-reaching and a sign thatthose in influential posi-tions are out of touch with the voice of nature. They have become moreconcerned about follow-ing the popular consen-sus and dogma of theircolleagues just like apack animal.
If you are whipping or spanking your childdaily or often, then something is wrong.
Every child is dif-ferent and some chil-dren rarely need to bespanked if at all. Someneed more discipline to tame and give direction for their strong pas-sion with a more heavy hand.
Primal emotions can eclipse the heart andthe mind. Sometimes a simple spank is the only thing one can do to tamethe primal emotions of a child so he or she candiscover the higher emo-tions of themselves and integrate them harmo-niously with the loweremotions, creating awell-balanced person.
If one only givesa disobedient young child a lecture full ofguilt instead of firm,friendly advice with the possibility of a spank as last resort, they cando much harm. They misguidedly address the child’s higher person which is not yet fullycognizant when theyshould be addressing the child’s primal lowernature in a languagethat it is understood.
This sort of passive aggressive discipline is too personal and fails to communicate to the primal nature of a childwhich can lead to a lifefilled with phantomguilt and self-doubt.
Mostly it is in the tone. A spank followedby a loving hug is much better received than out-right rebuke and a cold shoulder.
What in part ails soci-ety is not corporal pun-ishment, but a dogma which ignores the com-mon sense of nature and has no faith in thatvoice expressed in the unsuppressed caring actions of parents.
Holden SouthwardNanaimo
To the Editor, Darryl Walker,
president of the B.C.Government andService Employees’ Union, should startdoing some research himself because the last B.C. government offer on the table wasexcellent, considering the economic times we are in.
I am sure he holds off on various home projects himselfwhen funds are short.Ontario Liberals areworking on contracts too, and proposing just now zero wage increases.
What Walker doesnot understand isthese slow economic times are all part ofhistory, and hard timeswill turn around in due course.
In the meantime,take the offer, they still have a job. When times are good again, theywill get regular payincreases.
Not to be cheeky, buthow many government employees ever have to put in a claim foremployment insurance in relation to people working in the private industry? Does Walkerknow how manypeople in the privatesector are working full-time without payincreases? The union has to really think this contract position over.
Catalyst employeestook a $5 per hour reduction on their wage for up to a five year agreement.
Walker must face reality.

artsJourney to Oz
BY RACHEL STERNTHE NEWS BULLETIN
Emily Blake’s journey on the yel-lowbrick road ended before shereached the Emerald City.
But even though she didn’tmake it to her final destination, she gained valuable experiences along theway.
The 17-year-old Nanaimo actress andsinger was one of 80 Canadian hopefulswho auditioned for CBC’s show Over theRainbow in Toronto before the final cut.The show was on the hunt for the nextDorothy to star in Andrew Lloyd Web-ber and Tim Rice’s Wizard of Oz musi-cal set to start this December. Over theRainbow, similar to other popular reality TV shows, pits contestants against eachother and makes the 10 Dorothy finalists battle it out on stage to garner votes from the home audience. CBC’s Over the Rain-bow airs Sunday (Sept. 16).
Blake’s mother saw the advertisementfor the show while watching CBC. Theyrealized the Vancouver auditions were over, but headed to Calgary for the June3 tryouts.
“It was so nerve wracking because itwas practically my first professionalaudition,” said Blake, adding singing for casting director Stephanie Gorin was anamazing experience.
She sang Somewhere Over the Rainbow for Gorin. Blake said the casting director told her she might be looking at the nextDorothy when she finished.
“I was just smiling from ear to ear and went and grabbed it (the ticket to the nextround) and walked out of the room and giggled,” said Blake. “And then I saw my mom and started crying. It was so emo-tional.”
Passing the first round meant she had to
go to Toronto June 20 for the final elimi-nation while the producers whittled downthe girls to the 10 that would appear on the show. In Toronto the hopeful contes-tants did segments on news channels to promote the upcoming show.
Blake’s final audition was in the eve-
ning in front of judges Gorin and chore-ographer Sean Cheesman.
“You go on a stage that’s all lit up and bright with lights and they have a pianoplayer who is just magnificent,” she said.She sang Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
All you wanted was for your name to be called. It was crazy.“

The character of Dorothy strikes a chord inside Blake.
“She’s a small town girl, which is kind of what I am and is just trying to find what she wants and who she is,” said Blake about Dorothy. “I can relate so much to it.”
The song also has a deep meaning for her.“I always think about if I was in her position
and was completely alone,” said Blake. “It would feel so terrible.”
After performing Blake had to wait for three hours before the final decision was made.
“All you wanted was for your name to be called,”said Blake. “It was just crazy because you didn’tknow what they were doing. You couldn’t do any-thing to help yourself in any way.”
But Blake’s name wasn’t called.
“I was disappointed. It was very emotional and such a long process, but I went and congratulated the others,” she said.
Even though it was disappointing not to be chosen Blake said the audition process gave her knowledge of what to expect in the future as she continues to pursue work in musical theatre. It’salso a great addition to her resume, she added.
Blake is continuing to hone her craft and pur-sue her dream. People in Nanaimo can see herin two upcoming plays. She’s in the ensemble ofSchmooze Productions’ Sweeney Todd, which runs Nov. 8 to Dec. 1 and is the Mad Hatter inNanaimo Theatre Group’s Alice in PantoLand,which runs Dec. 21 to 31. She also plans to audi-tion for the Woodlands Secondary School produc-tion of Alice in Wonderland.

Clippers earn first win of fall
BY GREG SAKAKITHE NEWS BULLETIN
The Nanaimo Clippersearned their first win ofwhat they hope will be aspecial 40th anniversaryseason.
The Clippers defeated the Salmon Arm Silver-backs 2-1 on Sunday inChilliwack, a day afterlosing their first game ofthe season 2-1 to the hostChilliwack Chiefs at theB.C. Hockey League’sshowcase tournament.
“The first game wewere a little bit ner-vous. It was kind of a tough circumstance, we were playing againstthe home team … andthey’d already playeda game and we hadn’tplayed one yet,” said Mike Vandekamp, Clip-pers coach. “I thinksome of the jitters andnerves and stuff wereevident.”
Jesse Neher scored the first goal of the season for the Clipperswith five minutes to goin the first period to tiethe game 1-1. In the sec-ond period Nanaimo ran into penalty trouble andthe Chiefs scored thegame winner.
“It was a game thatcould have went eitherway,” said Vandekamp.“It was actually a dead-even game, it’s just theycapitalized on the powerplay and we didn’t.”
BY GREG SAKAKITHE NEWS BULLETIN
The V.I. Raiders and theChilliwack Huskers bothplay in the B.C. Football Conference, but really,they’re not in the sameleague. The Raiders wiped out the Huskers 85-0 onSaturday afternoon at Caledonia Park.
The game might have gotten even more out ofhand, but at halftime,with the home team up 70-0, officials decided toimplement the BCFC’srun-time mercy rule.
Even though the oppo-sition couldn’t providemuch resistance, the Raiders saw some posi-tives in their own game.
“We’re getting reallyclose to becoming thatRaiders team that we want to be,” said Mat-thew (Snoop) Blokker, V.I.coach. “We’re just getting better every week andgetting tougher, getting meaner and playing that style of football.”
In preparing for thegame, the coach asked hisplayers to be concernedwith their own executionon the field, and keep mental focus.
“The coaches do a goodjob of keeping us intense and saying we can’t playdown to our opponents’level,” said James Riley, V.I. defensive back. “We
can’t play down to their level and show the rest of the league that we’re weak in any facet.”
J.J. Mraovic, new Raid-ers safety, said all game long, his team played likeit wanted to win.
“We did everything we could to put as manypoints on the board, and be as physical as we pos-sibly could,” he said. “You’ve always got to
stay crisp, you’ve alwaysgot to do the little things right.”
The only drama on the scoreboard was the ques-tion of whether the Raid-ers would preserve the shutout. In the fourthquarter, the Huskers got into position to try fora 25-yard field goal, but V.I.’s Erling Skuggedal blocked the kick.
“The whole team was
fired up … because wewanted that zero,” saidRiley. “And there was no way that that kick was going through. Every guy on that defence was get-ting to that ball; I think there were six guys wait-ing to block that kick.”
The scoring started onthe Raiders’ very first play from scrimmage. AndrewDeleon got the start at tail-back for the Raiders and
scored a 78-yard rushing touchdown, then added a34-yard rushing TD laterin the first quarter.
Jordan Yantz also scored two touchdowns,in noteworthy fashion– he caught a two-yardtouchdown pass fromDustin Pedersen, and the Raiders QB also had arushing touchdown andtwo TD passes.

There was a quickturnaround for theClippers, who facedoff at 11 a.m. Sundaymorning against theSilverbacks. Still, theClips “played energeticand played hard,” saidthe coach.
Nanaimo got first-period goals fromMichael McNicholasand Reid Sturos totake a 2-0 lead, andcontinued to play intel-ligently from there.
“We didn’t capital-ize a ton today, obvi-ously, but we playedway better defensivelyand it was really asound game for us,”Vandekamp said. “Weseemed to control theplay really well today,so we didn’t have thosefrantic moments inthe latter stages of thegame at all.”
