If Viki Lyne IIdoes go downwho owns her?

Craig Spencethe chronicle

What will happen if the Viki Lyne II ever does sink in Ladysmith Harbour?

You can look north to Zeballos Inlet if you want a likely preview of the outcome, and per-haps an idea as to why the Coast Guard is tak-ing the steps announced in an Aug. 11 email to the Chronicle.A story in the online edition of the Campbell

River Mirror (Aug. 4, Sunken logging camp spoils Zeballos Inlet) could foreshadow things to come in Ladysmith.

There, a derelict floating barge camp broke loose from its moorage last fall and ‘drifted around the inlet’ before coming to rest on the shoreline near Zeballos Resolution Park.

Transport Canada’s Regional Communica-tions Advisor Jillian Glover is quoted: “At this time, the vessel is not an obstruction to navigation and the fuel tanks have been removed by the Canadian Coast Guard. As a result, Transport Canada will not be taking further action.”

In other words, if a boat sinks in Ladysmith harbour or anywhere else, as long as it’s not an environmental or navigational hazard, it’s not a responsibility of either the Coast Guard or DFO to remove it.

The Viki Lyne II is still afloat, but just barely, according to a survey commissioned by the Coast Guard.

The report said the hull of the vessel is so corroded it may already be rusted through, the vessel being kept afloat by encrusting scale and marine growth.

Ladysmith potter Mary Fox plans to leave future artists a legacy: her Third Ave. studio for two year residencies Craig SpenCe

Potter Mary Fox living her legacy nowCraig Spencethe chronicle

As a potter, Mary Fox doesn’t have to calculate a vanishing point in her works; as an inspired human being, she has a vanishing point clearly in mind, and wants to build a legacy be-yond the here-and-now.

Fox plans to bequeath her studio at 321 Third Avenue in Ladysmith to be used as a place where young potters will be able to get a start.“When I pass, there will be a residen-

cy here – an artists’ residency,” she said. “The idea is that an artist under the age of 30 can apply to become a resident artist at Mary Fox Studio for two years.”

She is working with the Potters’ Guild of British Columbia and Vancou-ver Island University to get what has turned out to be a major project set up.A board of directors has to be in

place; documentation about how the residency program and legacy will work; and an accumulation of assets that will sustain the project in perpe-tuity.“Everything is in the formation stage right now,” Fox said. But her vision is clear: “A place for young artists to start honing their craft.“Whatever I accumulate in my lifetime

will go to support the legacy project.”Fox is taking steps to leverage her al-

ready global stature to ensure the proj-ect will benefit artists and her commu-nity for a long time to come.

Central to that objective is Mary Fox Studio’s status as a ‘destination point,’ both on the Island and internationally. Keeping it that way will help ensure her legacy project is supported and funded.

To build on its reputation Fox has applied for and been granted status as one of Vancouver Island’s Economu-sée sites.

Economusée, a concept launched in Quebec and France, puts ‘local artisan sites’ on maps that are increasingly used by international arts and cultural enthusiasts to explore what regions have to offer.An Economusée brochure for Van-

couver Island includes Merridale Ci-dery, in Cobble Hill; Tugwell Creek Farm & Meadery, in Sooke; and Ha-zelwood Herb Farm, right here in Ladysmith.

Now Mary Fox Studio will be part of the Island tour; and that’s part of Mary Fox’s legacy, too. Economusée describes its participants’ venues as ‘living museums.’“Each destination is unique – yet all recognize the importance of conserv-ing the heritage of traditional skills, producing authentic handcrafted products and contributing innovative ideas to their trade.”

Participants in the program include information about their art or craft on their premises. Fox will set aside space for a video and other informa-tion about her studio and about pot-tery as an art form.“Becoming part of Economusée be-

comes a natural link,” Fox said.At 55 she is also working with author

Leah Fowler on an autobiographical cof-fee table book to be titled: Unearthing Beauty – the Life and Work of Mary Fox.

The legacy project has prompted Fox to publish the book earlier than planned, and to add a chapter that will talk about the residency, and encour-age readers to support it.A potter since the age of 13, Fox is

self-taught. She has never made her living any other way. Despite her suc-cess, she says she would have ben-efited tremendously from the type of residency she is setting up.“I would have given my eye-teeth to take a residency in a place like I’m planning,” she said.Asked if she’s living her legacy now,

Fox lit up. “I am! Lucky me, and it’s not just for two years.“If I had been told when I was 20

years-old that this is what I’d be doing and where, I wouldn’t have believed it. I didn’t know I had it in me.”

That’s a feeling she hopes her future beneficiaries will get to experience too.The Viki Lyne II, let’s pray she doesn’t sink

Speeders challenged on Dogwood


A delegation of Dogwood area residents urged the Town of Ladysmith coun-cil to do something about aggressive, speeding driv-ers in their neighbourhood.

Griffin Russell and Gord Long spoke on behalf of about a dozen people who attended the Aug. 17 coun-cil meeting. They said driv-ers are ignoring posted speed limits and putting people – including chil-dren – at risk.“As residents, it’s quite un-

comfortable, and that’s put-ting it lightly,” Russell said.

“There’s quite a few people who are affected by this.”

Concerned residents have posted a Facebook site to raise awareness about the issue and build support for initiatives that will mitigate the problem.

But they know it won’t be easy. Russell said the atti-tudes and behaviour of driv-ers is upsetting when resi-dents are trying to cross the road. “Sometimes they’re honking angrily,” he said.

The neighbourood – south of the Holland Creek S-curve and dip on Dog-wood Drive - is concerned that someone is going to get hit going to collect their mail at Dogwood Drive near North Davis Road or to play in Holland Creek Ball Park.

He noted that pets have “already been lost.”

Residents have launched an initiative called The Dog-wood Drive Challenge on Facebook to raise aware-ness about their problem.“A child was almost run

over at the crosswalk this past year,” said resident Terry Doherty in one post.

“A flashing crosswalk sign is needed with a button to activate it. We know it is expensive but lives are priceless.”

Russell noted that Dog-wood Drive used to be posted as a 30 kph zone. But now there’s no indica-tion it is a reduced speed zone, and drivers are as-suming it’s a 50 kph zone.“But people are going well in excess of that through-out the day,” he said.

“There isn’t any reason that shouldn’t be designated as a park zone and posted at 30 kilometres per hour,” he told council.

He suggested raised crosswalks on either side of ‘the dip’ as a possible solution.

Mayor Aaron Stone said he thought there were playground signs on Dog-wood because of Holland Creek Ball Park, and that the speed limit in desig-nated playground zones is 30 kph from dawn to dusk, whether or not it’s posted.

He suggested ‘tabs’ be put under the playground signs in the area reminding drivers of the 30 kph limit, and referring the matter to staff.

Long, citing American Automobile Association statistics that show almost half of traffic fatalities are caused by aggressive and speeding drivers, said the problem exists throughout Ladysmith, not just along Dogwood Drive.“I would like to see if we

could have a huge push for answers,” he said.

New funding supports school upgrades

The province will provide nearly $20 million for school districts to extend the life of their facilities and school-based assets, Education Minister Mike Bernier announced Aug. 22.

Districts have been asked to identify priorities for capital upgrade projects that support healthy, efficient schools. Eligible projects must cost more than $100,000 and may include:• Electrical upgrades

(power supply and distribu-tion systems);• Energy upgrades;• Health and safety

upgrades (traffic safety, indoor air quality);• Mechanical upgrades

(heating, ventilation, plumbing); and• Roofing upgrades.Priority will be given to

schools with enrolment demands and the greatest opportunity to improve facilities, says a Ministry of Eduction release.

Schools of strategic importance to districts, such as those in rural areas with limited alternatives and projected enrolment growth, will also be given priority.

Districts have until Sept. 15 to submit projects. Districts will be notified

‘later this fall’ of successful applications.

From Page 1She was towed into Ladysmith

Harbour in 2012 after she began dragging anchor near Dunsmuir Island, and was at risk of going aground.

Department of Fisheries and Oceans Communications Officer Dan Bate made it clear in an Aug. 11 email to The Chronicle that the Viki Lyne was not towed here by the Coast Guard or at their behest.“Arrangements were made by the

owner to secure it at Ladysmith Harbour,” he said. “There was no

contract or direction from the Coast Guard to move or relocate the vessel to Ladysmith Harbour.”

No matter who had her towed here, as with the grounded float camp in Zeballos, Coast Guard or DFO responsibility for the Viki Lyne II would only kick in if she became an environmental threat or navigational hazard.

The DFO and Coast Guard have said she is not a navigational haz-ard where she is presently moored. But she does pose a significant en-vironmental risk because of 13,000

litres of oil and ‘oily water’ still on board.

Solution? Remove the materials that threaten to pollute Ladysmith Harbour before the Viki Lyne II does sink; leave the 54 year old, 224 ton vessel for somebody else to deal with.

Listen to what Comox logger Bill Pomponio has to say about the of-ficial response when it comes to removing the derelict barge from his stretch of water.“I have been trying for months to find someone prepared to get this

sunken barge out of the inlet,” he is quoted.“The only folks who seem to give a damn are the Ehattesaht First Nations residents at Zeballos and the village Mayor Donn Cox and his council.”

Swap in the Stz’uminus First Nation and Town of Ladysmith Council as the concerned levels of government here, and you’ll have a pretty clear idea about who’s going to be left holding the life jackets when the Viki Lynn II hits bottom.

Viki Lyne II will be our problem if she sinks in our harbour

Griffin Russell and Gord Long want drivers to slow down and show some respect for Dogwood area residents.


A woman who was as-saulted in a public wash-room in Chemainus was shocked, not only by the attack, but by what she felt was a lack of assistance from people in the vicinity.

The woman (whom the Chronicle has de-cided not to name) upon leaving a cubicle in a public washroom, was surprised to find a man inside the wom-an’s area.

Assuming he was confused, and had en-tered the wrong wash-room by mistake, she was going to leave, when he tried to force his way into the stall with her.

He tried to grab her, but the woman jumped back, kicking him and screaming.“He appeared shocked and stared at me for a moment until I chased him out to the street, still yelling,” she said.

Upset as she was by the attack, the woman

was equally disturbed by the lack of support she received from people who saw the incident.

She said there were many people “driv-ing past,” but no one thought to stop, or ask why she was chasing a man “out of the toilets.”After watching the

man run down the street, she “crumpled and began to cry.” She said people passed and stared at her, but still did not stop to help.

The episode has shaken her image of Chemainus.

“I am deeply disap-pointed in the reaction of people around me,” she said. “I had always visited

Chemainus for the friendliness of it’s people and the feel-ing of community, but that day has left me jaded.”

She concluded by saying incidents like her’s can happen any-where, and people need to be prepared.“I’m hoping that my story will be shared to prevent future events

such as this,” she said. “What if it had been a girl weaker than myself? What if she had been too scared to move? What if she had screamed, but still no one came to help her?”A man was report-

edly taken into cus-tody by the RCMP shortly after the inci-dent, but as of press time the Chronicle has not been able to determine whether or not charges have been laid.

Nuisance properties targetof a new Ladysmith bylawCraig Spencethe chronicle

A nuisance abatement process and bylaw is scheduled to be con-sidered by Ladysmith Council at its next meeting Sept. 21.“It’s not to be under

estimated, this is a re-ally big deal,” Mayor Aaron Stone said dur-ing discussion of a staff report on imple-mentation during the Aug. 17 council meet-ing. “This will perhaps give us some clout.”

One of the main tar-gets of the bylaw will be houses where row-dy and sometimes ille-gal activities are taking place.

The draft bylaw men-tions: noisy parties or groups, loud music, car racing, yelling and shouting, fighting, lit-tering, trespassing, il-luminations, vibration, odours, accumulation

of water or other liquids on the property, unsani-tary conditions or ‘other objectional situations.’

Not only do nuisance properties disturb neigh-bours and place adjacent properties at risk, they also cause a significant drain on municipal and other resources.

Coun. Duck Paterson noted that one house in Ladysmith had gen-erated 91 calls to the RCMP. He noted that as well as the time spent responding to those calls, police spent between four and five hours doing paper work for each hour attending.“This has the potential

of saving us $6,500 per year,” he said of that one property.

Nuisance abatement will make a ‘significant difference in our com-munity’ Town Manager Ruth Malli said.

Ladysmith is basing

its process and bylaw on the experiences of Nanaimo, which brings together nui-sance abatement teams, that work to resolve issues with problem properties there.

She said staff will be recommending a similar process for Ladysmith, activating police, emergency, civ-ic and social services as needed in individual situations.“We will be establish-ing our own group,” Malli said.

The proposed nui-sance abatement by-law and process will incorporate changes to B.C.’s Community Charter which au-thorize local govern-ments to ‘regulate, impose requirements and prohibit’ activi-ties that disturb neigh-bourhoods and can ‘become hazardous situations.’

Borgie Borgerson, banjo player with the Dixieland Express, was one of the performers at the Chemainus Jazz Festival in Waterwheel Park, Aug. 22. At 89, Borgerson still plays a mean banjo, strumming and pluck-ing through some lively tunes – in this solo, watched by the group’s keyboard player Tom Vickery.

Many more young people are at risk of harm from alco-hol than previously estimated shows a new study published in the Canadian Journal of Public Health by researchers at the University of Victoria’s Centre for Addictions Re-search of BC (CARBC).

The CARBC analysis shows as many as 60 per cent of 18-24 year old drinkers were consistently drinking above

national low-risk drinking guidelines (LRDG) for daily consumption.

The study, which corrects survey results for under-reporting, also shows that nearly 40 per cent of all Cana-dian drinkers exceeded daily drinking limits set to minimize short-term harms, and 27 per cent exceeded weekly limits to minimize risk for long-term health problems.

The national guidelines, in place since 2011, set a daily limit of three standard drinks for women and four for men to minimize short-term health impacts of drinking such as accidents, injuries and acute illnesses. They set a weekly maximum of 10 drinks for women and 15 drinks for men to minimize risk of long-term health impacts such as cancer and liver disease.

VICTORIA – The B.C. legisla-ture is being recalled Sept. 28 for a fall session that will like-ly deal with increasing penal-ties for distracted driving and careless smoking.

The B.C. government has signalled its intention to in-crease penalties in both ar-eas. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton announced preliminary results of public consultation on distracted driving penalties at the end of June, with 90 per cent of respondents calling for stiffer penalties for using smartphones while driving.

Anton said the current $167 ticket for distracted drivers is not sufficient for repeat offenders, who could have their vehicles impounded. Saskatchewan has introduced a one-week seizure of the ve-

hicle for drivers who get two distracted driving tickets less than a year apart.

After dry conditions sparked an early start to the B.C. forest fire season, Forests Minister Steve Thomson announced a review of penalties for violat-ing campfire bans and tossing lit cigarettes.

Thomson appointed Prince George-Mackenzie MLA Mike Morris, a former RCMP su-perintendent, to lead a simi-

lar review of those penalties. Morris said he was consider-ing the vehicle impoundment option for careless tossing of cigarette butts, and prohibit-ing people from camping in provincial parks if they violate campfire restrictions.

Fire bans allow use of camp stoves or barbecues with briquets for cooking, but conservation officers continue to find people light-ing wood fires that give off

sparks and can spread in dry conditions.

The fall session will com-plete an unusually busy year for the B.C. legislature, which was recalled in July to autho-rize a project development agreement for the Pacific Northwest LNG gas export project proposed for Prince Rupert.

Editor:When interviewed after the tabling

of the 2014 budget last February Jus-tin Trudeau was asked if balancing the budget was a priority for him and if so how would he go about it.

He answered “the commitment needs to be a commitment to grow the econo-my and the budget will balance itself”.

The last part of that response has been taken out of context and used to ridicule Trudeau for thinking a budget will balance itself.

However if you are honest and take the whole of what he said he is in the august company of Flaherty, Thatcher, Regan and Harper himself who rou-tinely point out that economic growth is crucial to balancing a budget.

Editor:Nestle pays a twoonie and a quarter for

a million litres of our B.C. fresh water, pours those litres into plastic bottles and sells them to BC residents who owned the water in the first place, but now have to buy Nestle’s bottled water because their wells have run dry.

But in the equation there’s the neces-sary middleman like London Drugs at Port Place Centre in Nanaimo that on July 29th had a Manager’s Special of $4.99 on cases of Nestle water.

Wow! For every case of that bottled water sold, Nestle can now legally buy two more million litres of B.C. water be-cause the Liberals in Victoria say that’s just fine with them.

Maybe that’s a bit harsh. The middle-man needs his cut so it’s $2.50 for Lon-don Drugs and $2.50 for Nestle out of the $4.99, give or take what used to be a pen-ny. But that’s still another million litres of B.C. water on its way into Nestle’s plastic prisons with a quarter back in change.

‘Seaweed harvest expansion decried.’

That headline in the Vancou-ver Island section of the Times Colonist probably would have slipped by me unnoticed a cou-ple of months ago. I mean, re-ally, who cares about seaweed?

But since I’ve been work-ing my way through The Sea Among Us, The amazing Strait of Georgia (Harbour Publishing, Richard Beamish and Gordon McFarlane, 2014), I’m begin-ning to put headlines like that into context.

Then came the sub-head: ‘Ex-DFO scientist asks: “Who has decided whether there is a sur-plus?’”

In this instance the seaweed referred to is a variety named Mazzella japonica, which looks

“like soggy detritus washed up on shore, but is more like pure gold, with increasing global de-mand for its use in everything from toothpaste to ice cream.”

The thing about The Sea Among Us is context. Starting with Geology, the weighty book goes on to The Physical Ocean, then moves into the realm of Bi-ological Oceanography, which introduces readers to the micro-scopic organisms that make up

phytoplankton and zooplank-ton – the very building blocks of life in the ocean and by exten-sion, in the Strait of Georgia.

Next comes Invertebrates and Marine Plants; The Fishes (as far as I’ve got); The Marine Mammals; and The Coastal Birds.

Surface and take a breath. That concludes Part 1.

In Part 2 The Sea Among Us will introduce that most no-ticeable organism of all, which abounds around, on and in the Strait of Georgia: Humans.

Beginning with The Pre-Con-tact Era, The Sea Among Us moves into The Zone Encounter, then The History of the Fisher-ies.

So let’s get back to that sub-head: Who decided whether there is (or was) a surplus… of anything?

What emerges as you read through the pages of The Sea Among Us is an incredibly rich and complex, interconnected world of interacting elements that have evolved over tens of thousands of years into a unique, inland sea environment.

I haven’t got to the pre-contact era yet, but based on my expe-rience of indigenous cultures, I would guess they will be de-scribed as being far more in-tune with the sea among them

– far more a part of the ecosys-tem that not only nourished physically, but sustained spiri-tually, as well.

Then along came the Europe-ans.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m Eu-ropean to the core. The Sea Among Us is a science-based, European perspective on a part of the world I love.

That’s important, because less than a third of the way through what is really a text book (and could easily become the basis of a terrific introductory course) the error of my European ways is breaking through the Strait’s sur-face like the tip of a dreadful reef…

This hazard threatens not only The Strait of Georgia, but just about every ecosystem on the planet, and ultimately, the wondrous diversity of life. It’s our narrow, purely commercial, wholly decontextualized inter-est in the profit potential of liv-ing organisms and the habitats that sustain them.The Sea Among Us hasn’t stat-

ed that explicitly, yet, but the power of the book is it forces you to that conclusion simply by presenting the incredible evolution of our diverse, inter-connected habitat as a fact of life.

Who cares about seaweed? I do now.

Arts on the Avenue a big drawThousands of art lovers took a stroll down First Avenue be-tween Buller and Warren Streets to take in this year’s Arts on the Avenue event, which featured 56 artists and crafts people, members of the Ladysmith Arts Council, which puts on the event.

Island Gourd Artist Jessey LaFon-taine described the techniques she uses to etch and paint on ‘hard shelled’ gourds to Sonja Maans of Ladysmith, who was about to buy one of the pieces.

Right, an art lover takes in some of the thousands of works on display, including paintings, drawings, fine art photographs, carving, jewellery, pottery and more.

One of the highlights of Light Up the Night, the LAC’s evening of activities the night before, was a process called Steam roller art. Francois Cormier and Lottie Anderson placed and prepared works on the pavement, and Chase Bricker of Mid-Island Pav-ing obliged by rolling over them with a 2 tonne pavement roller.

You can see the process in video on the Chronicle’s Facebook site at Ladysmith/Chemainus Chronicle.

Mary Dennison, Sing For Pure Joy choir leader

There is a proverb from Zimbabwe that states, ‘If you can walk you can dance...if you can talk , you can sing.”

“For most of human history, people sang to-gether. It wasn’t seen as a competition or a con-test. It was a joyful communal experience,” says Daniel Levitin in This is your Brain on Music.“In the past 500 years we have had concert halls

which set up a separation between the performer and the audience that didn’t exist in human his-tory before.”“Not only is singing good for the soul but there is a growing body of clinical evidence that indicates that singing, with its emphasis on deep breath-ing and good posture, can help to heal the body,” adds Oliver Sacks, neurologist and author of Mu-sicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain.

This is why it is an effective way to remember or to learn. It is no accident that we teach our chil-dren with rhymes and songs.

The music burrows itself so deep in the nervous system, that even when people suffer devastating neurological disease or injury, music is the last thing they lose.

Those are just a few of the benefits that flow when people get together and Sing For Pure Joy, says Mary Dennison, who will once again be bringing together a choir to tap into the mu-sic starting Aug. 29 at The Lodge on Fouth, 1127 Fourth Ave., Ladysmith from 6:30 to 8 p.m.“If you desire an added boost of endorphins glee-fully flooding through your body raise your voice in glorious song with heart-felt melodies, soulful gospel songs and rousing spirituals,” Dennison says. And anyone can join in the chorus. “This is not a

paper-trained choir. No written music is used. All songs are taught in the traditional method of call and response,” Dennison says.

Find out more by contacting Mary Dennison at 250-202-1003 or [email protected] for details and specific dates.

Nanaimo Art Gallery has partnered with Nanaimo Museum to present A Terrible Beauty: Edward Burtynsky in Dialogue with Emily Carr.

Toronto-based photographer Edward Burtynsky is internationally renowned for his captivating images of natural and man-made landscapes that reflect both the impressive reach of human enter-prise and the extraordinary impact of our hubris.

This exhibition presents a selection of photo-graphs Burtynsky produced between 1983 and 2013 that together represent all his major bodies of work, from his early series of homestead photo-graphs shot in British Columbia in the early 1980s, to his new, ground breaking project that explores water’s fundamental place in the world ecology.

The Nanaimo Museum is located in the Vancouver Island Conference Centre and is open Monday to Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm. Contact the museum at 250 753-1821 or visit www.nanaimomuseum.ca

FEDERAL ELECTION 2015X

Mark MacDonaldConservative

The Harper govern-ment has not made cuts to health care spending – they have actually increased health care funding by 6 per cent per year.

In fact, the Con-servative govern-ment has actually in-creased health care by that amount per year since 2006, and has promised to tie future increases to a three-year average of GDP growth.

The Canada Health Transfer was $20.1 billion in 2006 when the Conservatives formed government, and totaled $30.3 bil-lion in 2014. That is a very significant in-crease.

Some suggest the answer to every prob-lem is simply throw more money at it, but this is not practically possible. Looking within to find efficien-cies can often identify new procedures and solutions that im-prove the system to the benefit of every-one. There is always room for improve-ment, including in our health care system.

We should always be inspecting to see whether or not we are

Sheila MalcolmsonNDP

Canada’s cherished public healthcare sys-tem was created by a New Democrat, Tommy Douglas. The NDP is determined to defend it. We are dedicated to en-suring every Canadian has access to the care they need—regardless of where they live or their ability to pay.

Instead of making healthcare better, Ste-phen Harper and the Conservatives have put

Tim TessierLiberal

The federal govern-ment must take the role of leader to improve the quality of our health-care while maintain-ing its universality and addressing the critical issues of financing and policy. Liberals want to expand research and professional training.

Our health care sys-tem is a source of pride and comfort for Cana-dians yet it needs to be modernized to ensure it continues to deliver high-quality, effective, and efficient care for Canadians.

Our populations are aging, demands on the system are increasing and the biggest chal-lenge can be finding a family doctor.

getting good value for the dollars we pay for health care.

Baby boomers have paid into the system for years and are now starting to deserv-edly collect on their investment in health care over the years.

In order to fund the increasing demand on health care, Cana-da must have a strong, solid economy.

We need to continue to build a strong, vi-brant economy across all sectors - includ-ing the resource sec-tor – to create many high paying, middle class jobs and much needed revenues that are able to fund the quality of life that Ca-nadians have come to expect.

our care at risk. They have imposed billions in cuts to healthcare funding to provinces and territories, low-ering standards and opening the door to privatization. On the doorstep, I hear people worry that healthcare won’t be there for them when their fam-ily needs it. Frontline health workers tell me the Conservative cuts have made it hard for them to care for people in need.

The NDP will restore the federal leadership role the Conservatives have neglected. We will reverse the Conserva-tives’ reckless, unilat-eral cuts. We will work corroboratively with the provinces and terri-tories to develop a new set of healthcare agree-ments and adapt Medi-care to the challenges of the 21st century. Our top priorities will be improved access to primary, long-term and home care, improving prescription drug cov-erage, better mental health services, and measures to prevent long-term illnesses that affect millions of Cana-dians.

We’ll show immediate leadership by improv-ing health care that’s delivered federally

– starting with Indige-nous peoples, refugees, and members and vet-erans of the Canadian Forces and the RCMP.

Canadians are proud of public health care, and the NDP has a practical plan to make public health care a pri-ority again.

Liberals are commit-ted to work in collabo-ration with provincial and territorial partners to tackle critical needs like community-based care, elder care, home care, mental health and pharmacare.

Liberals believe that there are opportunities to improve healthcare through more effec-tive use of resources and revenues. People in Nanaimo-Ladysmith deserve better and de-serve to have access to a family doctor.

Paul ManlyGreen

The Chronicle did not receive a response from Paul Manly on health care issues in time for inclusion in this issue summary.

Issue Summary 3Health CareAll Nanaimo-Ladysmith candidates in the Oct. 19 federal election were presented the following issue-summary and asked to respond in up to 250 words...

Presently people 65 and over make up about 14 per cent of Canada’s population. That figure is expected to grow to 30 per cent by 2036. Along with an aging population will come increased demands on Canada’s healthcare system.

What steps would you recommend to ensure Canadians continue to have effective, comprehensive universal health care coverage in the future? Are there opportunities to improve healthcare coverage in Canada?

Issue Summary 4 Poverty & Homelessness

COMING UP IN THE SEPT. 1 CHRONICLE

Poverty and homelessness are issues that have social and financial implications for Canada, particularly for Canadian cities. The social cost of having people living in poverty and homelessness is: increased sickness and mortality; increased crime; deterioration of neighbourhoods.

Cities do not have the resources to deal with poverty and homelessness. There is growing evidence that the cost of dealing with poverty on the street is greater than what it would cost to provide shelter and adequate services.

What would your party do to reduce homelessness and alleviate the effects of poverty. Do you believe a more effective national strategy on poverty and homelessness is needed?

FEDERAL ELECTION 2015XThe federal election

campaign began Au-gust 2, 2015.According to J.P. King-

sley, former Chief Elec-toral Officer, by making this campaign more than twice as long as it should be, Harper is

“gaming the system” - i.e., abusing Canada’s election laws.

Federal campaigns are typically 37 days long; this one will run for 78 days.

The cost to taxpay-ers is estimated at

about $2.8 million per day for every one of the 41 extra days Harp-er is imposing.

In 2006, Harper inher-ited the best fiscal situ-ation in the western world, but he burned through it in less than three years, he made Canada weaker and vulnerable.

He has saddled the country with $158 billion in new Harper debt. That’s $4400 for every man, woman and child in Canada.

And he’s still in defi-cit for the 8th straight year.

Canada needs a new

economic plan dedi-cated to better growth, good jobs and more fairness - especially for the middle-class and all those working so hard to get there.

Canada also needs a federal government that is willing to work constructively with B.C. on vital priori-ties. For Nanaimo-La-dysmith, that means important things like infrastructure; fight on climate change, health care leader-ship to improve ac-cess to family doctors and fix transportation to the mainland.

We don’t have to settle for mediocrity. We need real change. The Harper govern-ment has to go. It’s time to end the scan-dals, the secrecy, the arrogance and the partisan attacks on Canadian Democracy. The blatant attempt by the Harper Conser-vatives to buy votes by spending billions of taxpayers’ money for the sole purpose of staying in power is shameless.

It is time for an open and transparent gov-ernment that promises to bring fairness back to the middle class. Canadians have the opportunity to com-pare our plan for real change against Harp-er’s failed plan. Mr. Mulcair has provided no answers on how he

will grow our econo-my. The NDP does not have a sound fiscal track record here in British Columbia. Do we risk our struggling national economy on empty promises?

Liberals have a plan to deliver fairness and growth that works for everyone. Our plan will cut taxes for the middle class, so Cana-dians can keep more of their pay cheques. We will also create one bigger, fair, and tax-free monthly ben-efit that will help fami-lies with the high cost of raising their kids.

Liberals have com-mitted to fighting cli-mate change and with it have strong incen-tives for investment to grow the Green Sector economy that will bring jobs and in-vestment to Nanaimo-Ladysmith.

I have spoken with thousands of people in Nanaimo-Ladysmith and most are telling me they want change, this is a historic elec-tion and I urge voters to make an informed decision. Given most of us want change then vote for whom best represents the social, environmental and economic issues of our time. Vote for someone that can make change happen.

We can make Cana-da and Nanaimo-Lady-smith a better place.

Chronicle Coverage ofFederal Election 2015The Chronicle is providing Nanaimo-Ladysmith can-didates in the Oct. 19 federal election two columns each during the campaign period leading up to the Oct. 19 federal election. We are also asking candi-dates to respond to 10 Issue Summaries, on topics we think will be of interest to our readers.


Some soccer stars keep to sidelinesCraig Spencethe chronicle

Some of the real heroes of the beauti-ful game stick to the sidelines, and two of those stars in the Ladysmith area were recognized recently by BC Soccer.

Mid Island Soccer Club President Wil-low Hartig was hand-ed the Award of Merit for her support of the game for more than 10 years; and Techni-cal Director Bill Mer-riman was named Coach of the Year.

BC Soccer Director Don Moslin said the two have made a dif-ference in the game here.

“We’re all aware of the work that Willow has done for the Mid-Isle Soccer Club,” he said.“It’s outstanding, we really look for indi-viduals who have con-tributed a lot to their clubs and communi-ties.”

Hartig’s efforts have been instrumental in getting a turf field in Ladysmith, he said. She has also been a leader during a pe-riod where Mid-Isle has developed pro-grams and built an or-ganization that brings together 200 plus players, coaches and parents.“She really has de-

veloped and built that

club over the years,” Moslin said.

Merriman has helped players and teams de-velop over a period that spans more than 25 years.“Bill has been a very long-time coach and

a technical lead per-son in the region for a very long time,” Mos-lin said.As well as being

Mid-Isle’s Technical Director, he’s run an academy in Nanaimo and been a coach at

Vancouver Island Uni-versity and with the Vancouver Island Pre-mier League.“He’s got a vast expe-rience, vast certifica-tion, and he’s well de-serving of the award,” Moslin said.

“Deserving” and “out-standing,” Moslin said.

Beware of tax scamRCMP are continuing to warn about scam-

mers who claim to be from the Canada Rev-enue Agency, and make repeated calls to victims, subjecting them to “extremely threat-ening and frightening” demands that taxes owed be paid.

In the Nanaimo area alone more than 30 re-ports of these harassing phone calls have been received. “The CRA does not conduct busi-ness in this fashion,” the release states.

People receiving calls from any agency ask-ing for money over the phone should be wary. If in doubt hang up the phone,” police advise.

Phil SimpsonSpecial to the chronicle

If ever there was a tale of the determined team that could, it would have to be about the Chemainus Bantam A’s, who took the BC Pro-

vincials by storm over the August long-week-end tournament.A small association,

Chemainus has to can-vass hard to field teams in each division. This year wasn’t much differ-ent, but the team recruit-

ed 12 boys for Bantam house, and logged a 21-1 record in league play.

Of the original 12, ten continued to play sum-mer ball for Chemainus, and two Nanaimo play-ers were added to the roster. The team then went on to log a 5-1 showing in the Island Zone tournament, in-cluding a dramatic 11 inning battle with Vic-toria to secure top spot as the Island champs.

That set the stage for Chemainus’ gold medal finish in the provincials, which were held in Co-mox this year.

Chemainus opened the tournament with a 9-0 win over White Rock, that was coming into the tournament un-defeated in their own summerball league. The win was led by a combined no-hitter from Jamie Roberts and Kolton Hogstead.

The second game was Chemainus’ only loss

of the weekend, when Comox downed them 6-4. They bounced back that afternoon defeating Abbotsford 11-8 in one of their tougher games over the weekend.

The final round robin game against Newton ended in an 8-6 win, se-curing Chemainus’ spot in the semi-finals.

Monday morning semi-finals saw (small town) Chemainus versus (big city) Vancouver in one game; and Comox versus Port Coquitlam in the other.

Chemainus came out swinging, scoring 5 runs in the first inning, including home runs by Hunter Livingston and Adam Brownlow. Vancouver never recov-ered, Chemainus going on to mercy them 15-5 in five innings.

Port Coquitlam beat Comox in the other semi-final.

Chemainus powered through the final game, too, beating Port Co-

quitlam 13-1. Jamie Roberts pitched a com-plete game, allowing only 5 hits and striking out 11 players.

The Provincials win is a highlight for a group of players, many of whom have been teammates since their start in t-ball.

That showed in how well the guys get along and work together, the Provincials win was definitely a team effort, with all 12 players con-tributing.

Head coach Mike Ro-chon, along with assis-tants Neil Stevens and Peter Brownlow lead the team.

Most importantly, the team recognizes the key to their winning the provincial champi-onship is the hard work and dedication of Larry Hopwo, President of Chemainus baseball for over 40 years.

Without him, these boys would never have had the opportunity.

July’s Ladysmith Camera Club’s Photo of the Month was based on the theme ‘Low Tide.’ Olden Time by Chemainus photographer Art Jurisson, was taken in Chemainus. He enhanced the feeling of abandonment by giving the image a vintage look. See Ladysmith Camera Club’s Aug. 25 meeting information in The Last Word.

August 1915

For riding a motorcycle without the regulation lights, a young man was yesterday fined $5.00 and costs, by Magistrate Stewart.

The deer season comes on September 1 and local hunters who have not yet secured their gun licences are reminded they should do so at once. The fees for licences are $2.50 for birds, ducks, and deer, and $5.00 for big game, exclusive of panther or wolves for which $2.50 licence suffices.

August 1955

The neighbouring community of Chemainus will be featured on televi-sion during the next few days. Word was received Wednesday that a CBC crew headed by Paul Johnson will be present to film Alan Goldie’s swim Saturday morning across Stuart Channel from Kuper Island to Chemainus Community Centre, Alan is making the swim to help raise funds needed for its continued operation.

August 1985

A threat by Saltair Waterworks District to shut off tap to sprinkling regu-lations offenders has several Davis Road area users of Saltair steaming. A notice issued recently with the bills stated people sprinkling out-of-turn could be fined, and warns that their water could be shut off at the main. The lack of rainfall and the severity of the dry weather neces-sitated the action, and sprinkling patrols have been increased to spot sprinkling infractions. Kay Grouhel of Walker Road questions the legal-ity of turning off water to users’ homes and says residents have been continually told water is not in short supply.

The loggers are back, and will be engaged in their sports at Trans-fer Beach Sept. 6. They will be raising funds for Camp Goodtimes, as part of the Tour de Rock campaign. More in Last Word.

Osu! Activities for the Whole FamilyWith students heading back to school in

September, BC Children’s Hospital is shar-ing tips on how to help parents and guard-ians deal with anxiety and stress.“Some children and youth embrace back-to-school excitement, others need help easing into the school-year routine,” says Dr. Jane Garland, Psychiatrist, BC Chil-dren’s Hospital.“Common worries for children include difficult classes, making new friends and meeting and adjusting to a new teacher.“These worries are normal when intro-ducing your child to a new school experi-ence or changing their routine.”

Garland recommends parents plan ahead to help ease the back-to-school transition.

“Whether it is your child’s first day at school, or if they are having a hard time adjusting after summer break, gradually exposing them to their environment can make a big difference,” she says.

Tips for parents and caregivers:• Introduce children to the school year

routine one to two weeks before school starts• Plan for transitions – getting to school,

returning to school after breaks• Provide regular routines – morning,

school, homework, bedtime• Provide clear expectations, limits and

consequences• Hold realistic expectations that are right

for your child’s age

• Help your child identify his or her feel-ings – nervous, intimidated, shy• Pay attention to your child’s feelings• Ask your child if they have ideas or solu-

tions for a particular concern• Show yourself identifying your own feel-

ings, problem solving and being brave• Remain calm when your child is anxious• Praise and reward even their small ac-

complishmentsConsider seeking more help if your child:

• Attempts to remain at home or with a caregiver• Refuses to attend school on certain days

(field trips)• Refuses to eat in public• Refuses to use public bathrooms

• Constantly worries• Constantly seeks comfort and reassurance• Shows extreme shyness, avoiding social

situations or events• Has physical complaints with no medi-

cal explanation (stomach aches, head-aches, difficulty catching breath)• Throws tantrums, cries or screams ex-

cessively.“Taking time to expose your child to their new routine one to two weeks before school starts can help lower their anxiety and help instill excitement,” Garland says.

“This could involve simple things like plan-ning and packing lunches together, build-ing a school supply list or visiting the school playground for a picnic.”

Turner, Elizabeth “Betty” GwendolineMay 26, 1945 – Aug. 17, 2015

Betty passed away at the Lodge on 4th in Ladysmith peacefully with her family by her side.

Betty is survived by her husband of 37 years Ian, sons Colin and Allan, brother Robert G. Allan (Enneke), and extended family.

Betty was born in Vancouver BC to Robert (Bob) and Nancy Allan. She grew up in Vancouver with wonderful memories of summers spent at sunset beach and Boyer Island. She spent her 20’s travelling and living in Europe. After her travels she returned to Canada’s West Coast, where she settled on Vancouver Island, was a preschool teacher in Ladysmith and eventually married and started a family.

After raising her family Betty eventually went to University and gained a degree in Child and Youth Care Working. She worked for the Nanaimo school district at a number of schools where she worked with and counseled troubled youth.

Betty will be remembered by her many loving friends and family for her dedication and care of children, love of gardening and commitment to various local volunteer organizations.

A “Celebration of Life” will be held on Thursday September 3rd, 2015, at 2:00 pm at the North Oyster Community Hall.

In lieu of flowers donations can be made in Betty’s memory to the Stephen Lewis foundation

www.stephenlewisfoundation.org in support of the Nango Grannies

MUNRO, Beverley Ann Marjorie (nee Dewar)

Passed away on August 13, 2015 at the age of 65. She is survived by her loving family and friends.

Bev was born in Dawson Creek, BC on February 22, 1950. Her curious mind was cultivated by her father, Harry Dewar, a high school principal and her sharp wit from her mother, Frances. The oldest daughter in a family of 5 children. She cherished most her relationships with her grandchildren. She touched the hearts of people in every community she lived in, whether it was Duncan, Chemainus, Ladysmith, Kelowna or any of the RV parks that she called home in the past few years. Her army, led by her husband Gary, helped her through her final battle with cancer, which she fought valiantly. Her last days were spent with the kind people at the Central Okanagan Hospice House. At her request, there will be no funeral at this time. Should family and friends so desire, donations can be made to the Central Okanagan Hospice Association at www.hospicecoha.org.

God speed, my dear, we love you. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.

springfieldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.

Dr. Vivan Kilvert was blessed with daughter Helena on July 22, 2015

at 16:05h, weighing 7’10” and measuring 20”.

Thanks to Drs. PJ Mitchell, Aiobhinn Grimes, Peter MacDougall
