Nanaimo News Notes April 27, 2011

Mounties: get their man! Yesterday just before noon a man armed with a replica gun robbed the Domino's Pizza at 1925 Bowne Road and took off with the cash. Staff called police and provided licence number and vehicle description. Shortly thereafter the fleeing suspect was collared on the Parkway near Norhtfield Rd. Mounties closed the Parkway for a very short time while making the arrest.
Mosquito: that electronic device that emits a high pitched sound heard only by young people seems to be an effective way of reducing late night vandalism at the Nanaimo Aquatic Centre. Since installation in 2008 there has been a noticeable decrease in vandalism.
All Candidates: the VIREB is hosting an all candidates meeting tomorrow night (Apr. 28) at the Dover Bay Secondary School on McGirr Road. The forum is from 7:00 - 9:00 pm and all candidates from the major parties have promised to attend. Last chance to hear what local candidates and their parties have to offer.
Gabriola man: has been set free from jail in Myanmar. Ron Zakreski a world traveller who has a brother living on Gabriola was jailed for illegal entry into the country earlier this month. The Candian Embassy was involved with securing his freedom and helping him get to Thailand.
Daily News: the first candidates forum hosted by the news room at the local daily did little to enlighten anyone trying to look for a place to park their vote. If you have heard the party leaders, you have heard the candidates. Passion, fire, probing journalism ---- not really! Ho hum ---definitely! There is another one planned for the candidates in Cowichan - Nanaimo for Thurs. I think. If that is the only time I get to cut the grass this week - - - the lawn gets done.
