Joshua Schafer: this 39 year old has been arrested in connection with the Good Friday stabbing in the area of Tim Horton's on Bowen Road.
Advance Polls: nationally the advance Federal election polls are reporting a 34.5% increase over the 2008 election. To date more than 18,000 people have cast ballots in the two Nanaimo ridings. The polls being open during a holiday may account for some of the increased voter turnout.
Less Paper: school district 68 hopes to reduce the cost of paper by gradually relying on electronic media to communicate with students and parents in the district. With the rise in the use of social media such as Twitter and Facebook the need for the use of paper should be reduced.
Ballroom Dancing: coming to Nanaimo May 7 & 8 at Beban Park as the 19th annual Island Fantasy Ball hits town. The event will feature competitors from other Canadian cities and from the US also, competing with local dancers of all age groups. Tickets are available from the Port Theatre online or by calling 250-754-8550.
RCMP: have been criticized for the delay in notifying the general public of the incident in Westwood Lake Park involving a female jogger and a naked pervert wearing a Gorilla Mask. Some think the warning should have been issued sooner.
