Cassidy ‘posse’ cleans up : P. 3P. 4

From Kinsmen Beach in Chemainus to Transfer Beach in Ladysmith, and many points in between, people were treated to a spectacular rainbow Sunday, Feb. 28. The arch appeared in the sky shortly after a sudden squall, and was visible for more than 10 minutes over a wide area. This shot was taken at Kin Beach, with the rainbow arching over the lighthouse, and apparently touching down on some fortunate mariner’s sail boat, which must contain at pot of gold. CRAIG SPENCE

Bio-solids from the Ladysmith Waste Water Treatment facil-ity will continue to be compos-ted at the public works yard on Sixth Avenue and Roberts Street, but going ahead with an upgrade at the site doesn’t rule out moving the process some-where else in the future.

Ladysmith council approved a series of motions that will expe-dite construction of a covered structure to reduce the odors that occur during composting. About 1,000 cubic meters of bio-solids, extracted from effluent

at the town’s waste water plant at the south end of Oyster Cove Road, are trucked to the pub-lic works yard for composting each year.“Despite the town’s best efforts, the fresh bio-solids can occa-sionally give off objectionable odors during the first few days of processing,” reported John Manson, director of Infrastruc-ture Services.“The only way to effectively deal with this issue is to process the material within a covered building, which is equipped with an odor control system.”

He said the bio-solids being composted in the covered fa-

cility will have ‘sufficiently sta-bilized’ after seven days to be moved outdoors ‘without odor issues.’

Ladysmith has been awarded a $570,000 federal Gas Tax grant for ‘regionally significant projects’ to build the covered structure at the public works yard, and the town has allo-cated another $300,000 for the project, “but the deadline for expenditures is Dec. 31, 2016,” Manson said.

To meet that timeline council agreed to waive its normal pur-chasing procedure and accept a ‘sole source’ proposal for the project from Transform Com-

post Systems, an Abbotsford company.Although council approved

the recommendation to con-tinue composting bio-solids at Ladysmith’s public works yard, concern remains that it is not a well-suited location.“I really don’t think the pub-lic works yard is where we should be composting, I think we should move it to Peerless Road,” said Coun. Joe Friesen-han. “You can get rid of 90 per cent of the smell, but you’re al-ways going to have a smell.”

Compounding the problem is Ladysmith’s scheduled switch to secondary sewage treat-

ment, expected to kick in later this year. That will double the amount of bio-solids generated at the waste water treatment facility.An upgraded facility at the

public works yard would be “able to process the future vol-ume of bio-solids expected with the secondary treatment plant upgrade,” Manson said.“The completion of this up-grade in 2016 will, as a minimum, allow the town the option to continue to process bio-solids at the public works yard, even if portions of the bio-solids are also sent to other locations for processing.”

Man chargedin suspiciousCedar fires

A 54-year-old Nanaimo man has been charged in connection with a suspicious fire in Cedar Sunday, Feb. 14.

The fire happened at Cedar Memorial Gardens when natural gas lines supplying the buildings at the cemetery were alleg-edly broken and the gas ignited, causing heavy damage to the building.

Martin Taylor was arrested hours later under suspicion of start-ing the fire and appeared in Nanaimo provincial court Tuesday, Feb. 16, where he was formally charged with intentional-ly and recklessly causing damage by fire, mischief exceeding $5,000, mis-chief under $5,000 and possession of a stolen vehicle.

Taylor’s next court appearance is set for March 22.

Russell FarmsMarket toreopen Mar. 4

Russell Farms Market near Chemainus is set to reopen on March 4.

The open-air farm-ers’ market, which has been in operation since 1951, shut down on Feb. 1 after its long-time lessee decided not to continue with the business.

Now Russell Stewart, who has owned the market for decades, has partnered with local farmer France Bournazel to get the market on track again.

Bournazel said it “just didn’t work out” for the previous operators, so she and Stewart decided it was time to take the market back. She said the market is “going local” in that it will focus mainly on selling produce that is grown in the area.“We’re also joining forces with Katie Farm (in Duncan) so there should be lots of local fruits and vegetables in the market, par-ticularly in the summer growing months from May to December,” Bournazel said.

Rachael Clarke, Lisa Collinge, Amanda Hensey, Vonda Croissant and Jill Webb spent their Saturday afternoon cleaning up someone else’s junk. CRAIG SPENCE


A posse of five women got together in Cassidy Saturday (Feb. 27) to clean up the mess left in their ‘back yard’ by someone who dumped a huge pile of garbage beside the trails just off Tim-berlands Road.

Lisa Collinge, Rachael Clarke, Jill Webb, Aman-da Hensey and Vonda Croissant met in the park-ing lot of the Timberlands Pub and formed a convoy that headed into to bush to clean up the mess – Webb later thanked the bartender at Tim-berlands Pub for contributing her tip money to help pay disposal fees.Armed with rubber gloves, garbage bags, and

good spirits, they set about sorting through dry-wall scraps, old television sets, broken lamps and

window frames strewn off the side of an off road trail, where community members often walk their dogs, and get outdoors for fun and recre-ation.

Collinge, who often takes her dashound Kesler for walks in the area, was the first to discover the debris.“I happened to be walking down the road, and saw this up here, so I came and had a look, and took some pictures, which I posted on Facebook because I thought it was absolutely disgusting,” she said.Along with the photos she posted a call to action

for people to come out and help with a cleanup.“I was absolutely appalled,” Collinge said of the thoughtlessness and carelessness of whoever left their garbage behind for others to deal with.

“For people to do this, I have no words, I don’t

understand why.”She said there are plenty of inexpensive options

for people to dispose of garbage and scraps from home renovation projects, which she suspected this most recent dumping consisted of.

Her suggestion: “Keep those wheels rolling, right into the recycling depot. Don’t litter in our back yards. This is our environment, our kids need to grow up in this.”

Noting that the junk contained nails, glass and other potentially materials hazardous to pets and people, she said, “Don’t do it. Recycle. Please, please, please recycle.”Another clean up is planned for Saturday, March

19, with volunteers being asked to meet at the Ti-merlands Pub at 10 a.m. (bring gloves and boots).

Cassidy residents clean up other’s off-road junk

A 23 year old Ladysmith resident was killed after being struck by two vehicles on the Trans Canada Highway between Brenton Page Road and Cedar Road Wednesday morning, Feb. 24, shortly after 5 a.m.

Jake Gunn was apparently standing in the northbound fast lane of the highway, when he was struck by the mirror of a Tundra pickup truck, which swerved but could not avoid him.

Gunn was also struck by a following tractor trailer unit, which could not avoid him either, according to the RCMP’s preliminary investiga-tion.“Drivers of the Toyota Tundra, tractor trailer unit and other passing motorists stopped to provide medical attention to the male however he was deceased,” says Cpl. Brad Robinson in a release from the South Island Traffic Services.“All drivers and witnesses have been coopera-tive with the police investigation.”

Ladysmith RCMP, North Oyster Fire Depart-ment and BC Ambulance responded to the accident. The northbound lane of Highway 1 was closed for several hours, and backed up as far as the First Ave. and Ludlow intersection,

while police completed their investigation.Anyone with information about the accident

is asked to contact South Island Traffic Servic-es at 250-416-0352.

Cold-Fx class action‘certi� cation’ sought John McKinleyBLACK PRESS

A blunt-spoken Ladysmith senior is at the epicentre of a legal battle that could have a huge impact on not only Canada’s number-one cold remedy, but on the country’s entire natural health industry.

Don Harrison is the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit seeking class-action certifi-cation against the makers of Cold-Fx, which bills itself Canada’s number-one selling cold remedy.

On April 4-8, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Janice Dillon will rule on whether or not Harrison’s case can be expanded to include virtually anyone who used the product between 2004 and 2012.“We still must show that there are

common issues and that a class ac-tion is the preferable way of resolving all class members’ claims, but based on the recent Supreme Court of Cana-da case law, we are confident that this hurdle can be met,” Harrison’s lawyer John Green said.

The particulars of the suit are many, but its thrust is straightforward: it al-leges Afexa Life Sciences and Valeant Pharmaceuticals misled consumers into thinking Cold-Fx was capable of relieving flu and cold symptoms if taken for periods of less than two months. Essentially, it argues that the Cold-Fx packaging promised some-thing it could not deliver. “At trial, we may prove fraud by showing that the statements on the boxes we say are false, were also ma-terial to a person’s purchase,” Green said. “Given that the statements we say

were fraudulent concerned efficacy, dosage, and dosage duration (all regulated by Health Canada), we are confident that the defendants have an uphill battle now.”

The claims remain unproven. The defendants have thus far declined to discuss the case in the media. They did attempt to have it thrown out of court, but Supreme Court Justice John Truscott ruled Jan. 21 that it could proceed.“Since the matter is before the courts, it would be inappropriate for us to comment at this time,” spokesperson Caroline De Silva said on behalf of the defendants. “We believe the action is without merit and are defending it vig-orously.”

Green, who specializes in lawsuits regarding the pharmaceuticals in-dustry asked Harrison to be the rep-

resentative plaintiff after watching a CBC documentary on the product and reading a letter Harrison wrote to the Ladysmith Chronicle on the topic.“I said ‘in a goddamn heartbeat,” Har-rison said. “They’ve got a hell of a case.”

Filed in New Westminster in March of 2012, the suit alleges Harrison pur-chased Cold-Fx in February 2011 af-ter reading marketing material that suggested the product would sup-ply immediate relief for cold and flu symptoms, a suggestion the plaintiff maintains the defendants knew to be false.

The suit states that while the firm’s own research indicates the product may address cold and flu symptoms, that same research is based on par-ticipants who took the product for periods of two to six months.“Afexa and Valeant had (other) re-search as far back as 2004 which showed Cold-Fx was less effective than a placebo at treating cold or flu symptoms if taken during a short du-ration,” Green said.

Green’s trial plan is to prove the marketing statements are false, de-termine the number of boxes of the product sold with those statements, and then estimate the value paid by British Columbians. “On top of this there would be inter-

est, which began compounding about decade ago, and so that amount by it-self is expected to be quite large,” he said.

The National Post reported “more than $117 million worth of the gin-seng-based product was sold in Can-ada as recently as 2011.”

Green said the point of the lawsuit is not to earn money for the plaintiffs. Instead, it aims to make anyone who may have misled the public account-able for their actions, while delivering a stern warning to any health rem-edy company making, or considering making, false claims.

The likelihood of any lawsuit pro-ceeds ending up in the hands of Cold-Fx customers is slim, given the relatively small expense of their in-dividual purchases and the difficulty reimbursing people. Rather the judge would more likely direct any reward to a charitable public service fund in a related area.

Harrison hopes a statement will be made.“Those natural products, they can get away with murder almost,”he said.

“I hope that the judge rules in our fa-vour. That damned money doesn’t belong to them.”

Ladysmith is sharing in a building boom that is echoing over much of Vancouver Island. Felicity Ad-ams, director of De-velopment Services said there has been an increase in the to-tal number of build-ing permits issued of 11 per cent between 2014 and 2015.

Included in that lift was a 66 per cent in-crease in the number of residential permits for homes, secondary suites, coach hous-es and multi-family dwellings – up from 27 to 45.

That’s still not up to the average between 1989 and 2015, though, which was 69. But that might not rep-resent ‘typical’ resi-dential construction activity. “If you take out the higher growth of the early 1990s and 2000s, when permits were in the hundreds, the typical average is 53 a year,” Adams said.

Still, the local economy is benefit-ing from total permit

values of $7.1 million in 2015, compared to $4.7 million in 2014.

That echoes an in-crease in building permit values on Vancouver Island of seven per cent be-tween 2014 and 2015, totaling $1.4 billion according to the Van-couver Island Con-struction Association.

The ‘lion’s share’ of the leap was in the value of residential construction, which increased 19 per cent.“In a growing econ-

omy, residential con-struction activity in 2015 confirms that Vancouver Island continues to attract newcomers, many of whom are building homes and condo-miniums,” said Greg Baynton, VICA CEO.

“This is generating positive economic spin-offs and creating jobs in our communi-ties.”

The Cowichan Val-ley Regional District was listed among the top three in terms of the increase in value of building permits, coming in at eight per cent.

That follows Comox Valley Regional Dis-trict, which registered a 20 per cent jump, and the Capital Re-gional District, which saw an 18 per cent in-crease.

The increase in resi-dential permit values was dampened by an 18 per cent slump in non-residential con-struction on the Is-land.Along with the in-

creased construc-tion activity came in-creased employment. The increase in total permit values drove construction employ-ment up 13.1 per cent in 2015 over 2014, resulting in 32,600 people working in the Island’s construction sector.

It’s a trend VICA pre-dicts will continue.

“Activity and the un-derlying growth trend remain solid for the Island’s construction sector,” Baynton said.“The association’s

outlook for 2016 is very positive with building permits ex-pected to rise 10 to 15 per cent as residential activity strengthens and non-residential construction makes gains.”

Tom FletcherBLACK PRESS, BC VIEWS

The B.C. government has intro-duced changes to its environmental law to require more oil spill preven-tion measures and to enforce clean-up and restoration if a spill takes place on land.

Environment Minister Mary Polak said Monday the new regulations and penalties are expected to take effect in early 2017, to fulfil one of the province’s conditions for approv-ing new heavy oil transport projects such as the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.

The goal is to impose “world lead-ing” spill prevention and response capability on land, and to work with the federal government to establish the same standard at sea, which is Ottawa’s responsibility.

Polak released a new report from consultants Nuka Research that sur-veyed other spill protection systems around the world.

It compared practices in Australia, Europe, the U.S., Norway and the ship escort system used in Prince William Sound, Alaska after the crude oil tanker Exxon Valdez ran aground in 1989. The Alaska system includes a network of trained, on-call fishing vessels and crew that can provide an immediate first re-sponse to incidents at sea.

Polak said the legislation and reg-ulations will update a system that hasn’t changed since the 1980s. “Our old regulatory scheme really only placed requirements on industries after a spill had occurred,” Polak said.

“The biggest change here is the scope of this, where we’re requiring them to have plans in place. We’re also requiring them to have plans to prevent a spill from ever occurring.”

Tom Fletcher is legislative report-er and columnist for Black Press newspapers.

Donate a day for a leap of faith in CanadalettersEditor:

Most Canadians enjoyed a day off work this February, and got an extra day in their calendar on the 29th.

Why not consider what you can do with the hours gained that day for your community and your country?

You made an extra day’s pay if you worked Feb. 29, or maybe it was just an extra day to do with what you wanted? Why not then give an hour or two of your time or wages back to the communi-ty and charitable organizations that help you and Canadians right across this country?

If just 10 per cent of Canadi-ans invested an hour of their time or wages we’d see a direct stimulus to our local economies of some $52 million (@ $15 per hour). And if we all gave just an hour that would be a half billion dollars for community and char-ity work. A billion if our govern-ments and businesses matched the investment.

Just think what good could be done for the benefit of Canadi-ans and their communities?

Leap Year Day 2016, offered an extra day for us all; we could choose to pay-back that time, helping our communities and investing in our country.

We’d like to invite all Cana-dians to consider our heritage as Canada’s 150th birthday approaches. We are lucky to live here, and our community groups and charities do much to make this country great.

Let’s invest just a little of our time or wages to kick-start the next 150 years.

SITE C JOBS SHOULD BE GOING TO CANADIANS

Editor:We have heard Premier Chris-

ty Clark say Site C is going to provide jobs for the people of B.C. Would someone then ex-plain why so many contracts have been awarded to Spanish and Korean companies – per-haps as high as 80 per cent?

A job posting in the Alaska Highway News of Feb. 9, 2016 lists the following duties: “cre-ating the Monthly Temporary

Workers Report” and “Assisting in the Temporary Foreign Work-er process”.

With all the unemployment we have in Canada, why are the B.C. Liberals handing out jobs to foreign corporations and temporary foreign workers? Aren’t the unemployed in B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan, good enough to work in B.C. on a project that will be paid for by B.C. taxpayers?

Did Premier Christy Clark for-get Site C is being built on tra-ditional First Nations land? Why aren’t First Nations workers in the area being trained for these jobs?

Whatever is going on the B.C. Liberals owe it to us, the taxpay-ers, to come clean about who is getting the contracts and jobs on Site C. It is after all going to cost us, the taxpayers, at least $8 billion.

There are tens of thousands of unemployed in this country with the skills and education to do the work. We don’t need foreign workers. We need Cana-dian workers for Canadian jobs.

Waterloo vision scientists discover potential treatment

for adults with lazy eyeUniversity of Waterloo vision scientist Ben Thompson with collaborators from Sun Yat-sen University in China found low voltage electric currents can tempo-rarily improve sight in adult patients with lazy eye. Lazy eye affects up to three per cent of Canadians, and with no treatment options for adults, it increases a

patient’s lifetime risk for legal blindness by 50 percent.

It’s a long held view that adults can’t be treated for lazy eye because their brains no longer have the capacity to change,” says Thompson, a professor in the School of Optometry and Vision Science in the Faculty of Science. “We demonstrate here that adults do have the capacity, especially when it comes to vision.”

Lazy eye, also known as amblyopia, is a loss of vision that originates in the brain, typically when a child develops an eye turn or one eye becomes long sighted. The unequal input causes the brain to process information from the weaker eye incorrectly. And unless the brain processing issue is treated, the vision loss remains, even after the problems in the eye are fixed. Until now only young children were considered successful candidates for treatment, which often involved wearing a simple eye patch.

“Amblyopia is an issue here in Canada, but much more so in countries where access to basic vision care for children is challenging,” says Thompson. That said, amblyopia in children is very treatable because their brains are so responsive. It’s a different story for adults whose brains have long passed out of the critical developmental period.

Until fairly recently, the prevailing view was that if adults couldn’t develop amblyopia, they couldn’t be treated for it,” says Thompson. “This was the same for anyone with brain-based vision problems – they’re often told there’s nothing that can be done about their vision loss.”

That’s where transcranial direct current stimulation or tDCS can help. It appears these low voltages – often described as a slight tingling on the head – stimulate activity in certain areas of the brain, depending on how and where stimulation is applied. Methods such as tDCS are nothing new, but are now undergo-ing something of a revival. Recent studies are finding low voltage stimulation can alleviate depression, improve adult learning and increase neuroplasticity – the brain’s ability to rewire and reorganise itself.

In a proof-of-concept series of experiments, Thompson and his colleagues exposed patients to twenty minutes of a technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), which was applied to the sur-face of the head, directly over the primary visual cortex. They found the treatment temporarily increased the brain’s response to visual information from the lazy eye as well as the patients’ ability to see low contrast patterns. Their results were published this month in Scientific Reports, a highly cited Nature pub-lication. Other research groups have suggested that tDCS might also have beneficial effects in patients with vision loss due to stroke

Thompson says these initial results demonstrate the proof-of-concept that will allow him and his research group to take the next step towards clinical trials. “Our ultimate goal is to develop an evidence based treatment that patients can receive right in their eye doctor’s office,” says Thompson. “We expect there are other primary visual cortex problems that we may be able to address with this method.”

lettersEditor:I am writing this letter in

hopes that others on Van-couver Island will also write expressing their frustration with regard to wait times for elective surgery.

Three years ago I was diag-nosed with two hips which were at the acute stage and needed surgery in the very near future. I visited a clinic in Victoria and was advised by one of the surgeons that I would not be considered for surgery unless I was using a cane, walker or came riding in in a wheelchair.

At the present time I can no longer walk or sit for any length of time. I am on pain killers almost 24 hours a day in order to allow myself to be somewhat functional. I receive a maximum of four hours sleep per night, even with the assistance of pain killers.

Why is it that the provin-cial government has so little empathy for people with problems like mine? On their website, they say hip replacement surgery has a wait time of 56 weeks. This is so far from true, it is em-barrassing to think the gov-ernment is so wrong in their assessment. As yet, I am not even able to get on the wait

list. I am 72 years old and will be more than likely in my eighties before my turn arrives.

My next door neighbour is awaiting his surgery; he is on the wait list, but has been told that he will be there 26 months.

The Cowichan District Hospital is approximately the same age as St. Paul’s in Vancouver. It is basically held together with duct tape. I recently had an ul-tra sound evaluation in a closet. This hospital is in desperate need of replace-

ment. I admire those who work there, as they achieve excellence under very try-ing circumstances. Surely, they deserve more from our government.

Do we constantly live with these kinds of frustrations because most of Vancou-ver Island is represented by New Democrats while the government is Liberal? Do the residents of Vancouver Island not deserve better?

I know I am among hun-dreds of people who are waiting for elective surgery, and am quite willing to wait

my turn. I am certain that there are those who are even more desperate than myself. But surely govern-ment could do a better job meeting the needs of those who are waiting for medical assistance, no matter what their age.

If you are reading this let-ter, and are in agreement with my thoughts, please join in a letter writing cam-paign. Let’s really make a noise that will be heard by those in power.

BC Ferries has an-nounced that for the first time in 13 years, the average fares will remain effectively un-changed as the com-pany starts the new fiscal year on April 1, 2016.A price cap increase

approved by the BC Ferry Commission, as well as an increase in BC Ferry’s fuel re-bate will be imple-mented on April 1, effectively cancelling each other out for a

zero per cent net in-crease to fares.

Fares for vehicles and passengers will rise by 1.9 per cent on average April 1; at the same time, the fuel re-bate will knock 1.9 per cent off prices. “With the continued decline in cost of die-sel oil coupled with the fact we’ve locked in the price for the majority of our fuel, we are pleased to be in a position to in-crease the fuel rebate, which will negate the tariff increase for all of our customers,” said Dennis Dodo, BC Ferries’ chief finan-cial officer. “Given the current price of fuel on world markets, we expect to maintain a fuel rebate

for the foreseeable fu-ture.”

In making the an-nouncement, BC Fer-ries also advised that the cost of reserva-tions, assured load-ing tickets, and the buy-in level for Expe-rience Cards will not increase.

The fuel surcharge or rebate is done sepa-

rately from the BCF tariff calculation.

On Sept. 16, 2015, the BC Ferries Com-missioner released the final decision on price caps for the fourth performance term. It confirmed an annual increase in price caps (or average fare increases) of 1.9 per cent from April 1,

2016 through March 31, 2020.

BC Ferries says tariff increases are neces-sary to cover operating costs and major capital replacement projects.

The corporation needs to replace one ship per year for the next 12 years to main-tain safe, efficient and reliable service, it says.

No increase in ferry fares, fuel rebate kicks in

A forest of art goes on display at the Waterfront Gallery March 3 to 27, all part of the Ladysmith Arts Council’s challenge for artists to tell their stories on the theme of trees in paint, clay, stone, fabric or glass.

On the west coast we live in a rainforest that provides life for a multitude of organisms and animals. The cedar tree was the staple of life for the First Nation people of the area; providing shel-ter, clothing, baskets for cooking and carrying, rope, planking, and an integral part of spiritual life and cultural practice.

Our forests are also rich with ar-butus, hemlock, pine, fir, dogwood and alder. All these trees serve a place in the joy of island life.

Trees not only provide us with great beauty but they are the planet’s main source of oxygen. They bear fruit for us to eat. Some bloom exotic, breathtaking flow-ers, others shelter wildlife, and provide man with a living in the forest industry.

How would we live without them?

Opening night for the show is Saturday, March 5 at 7 p.m.

Guest speaker at the Gala, Pen-ny Maday, will share her journey in the art world. She created and runs Island Girl Art Studio on Hammond Bay Road in Nanaimo.

The studio offers small classes that feature lots of support and instruction in a nurturing atmo-sphere for all ages. She offers inspiration in mixed media art, acrylic and water colour.

Penny has been an artist for over forty years and a teacher for almost thirty. She has taught in public, private and First Nation Schools in two Canadian provinc-es, as well as developing and deliv-ering art curriculum for numerous community agencies and public education courses for youth and adults. Her story will inspire and invigorate you.

The sponsor for The Tree Show is Ladysmith Pharmasave. More information at ladysmithwater-frontgallery.com. The Waterfront Gallery is located at 610 Oyster Bay Drive. Phone 250-245-1252

A group of women, working with facilitators Janis Jona-sen and Samantha Letourneau, will be getting together at the Kiwi Cove Lodge in Ladysmith April 8 to 10 to explore the idea of “Intercultural Leadership”And for readers who may be

thinking, “I’m not in a leader-ship role,” Jonasen has a word of encouragement. “When you step forward in your commu-nity, you’re automatically put-ting yourself in a leadership role,” she said.

The point being, there are lots of people in leadership roles who don’t even know it; and many who could benefit – along with their communities

– by learning some new tech-niques.

Jonasen, a member of the Gitxan First Nation, holds a Master of Arts degree in

Leadership and Training; Le-tourneau a Master in Adult Education and a BA in Global Studies – she received the Ma-rie Gillen Award in 2015 for her research into the effects of art engagement on Canadi-an women impacted by abuse.

The retreat will focus partly on indigenous perspectives on ‘respectful intercultural relationships’ in light of ‘the history and current impact of colonization.’ “How we ad-dress that is just one piece,” Jonasen said.

Jonasen said a focus on women is a good starting point for her and Letourneau

– and for communities. Women are often in leader-

ship roles built on relation-ships. “I think there’s an in-nate drive for women to foster relationships,” she said, add-

ing that there’s ‘absolutely’ an interest in workshops or retreats that will include men.

Collaborative artist Crystal Charlotte Easton will trans-late thoughts and feelings from the sessions into a paint-ing, which will serve as a re-minder to participants that the ideas they share are meant to be put into action.“We’re going to go over ways for you to implement what you’ve learned in your com-munities,” Jonasen said.

For more information and to register for the retreat go to janisjonasen.com, click on In-tercultural Leadership Retreat for Women under the Events menu item, and then the ‘Reg-ister Now’ link on the descrip-tion page.

You can contact Jonasen at [email protected].

Retreat focuses on Leadership for WomenJanis Jonason and Sa-mantha Letourneau will lead a retreat at the Kiwi Cove Lodge centered on ‘Intercultural Leadership for Women’. Collab-orative artist Crystal Charlotte Easton will envisualize the sessions.

Do you have good hearing but poor comprehension?

Swiss researchers: Audéo V is superior for conversation.

Do you sometimes feel that you can hear well, but not fully understand what’s being said? This can be most evident in social conversations and watching television. Fortunately, there may be a solution for some people dealing with this type of hearing loss ‑ the Audéo Venture hearing aid has been designed specifically to help improve speech comprehension without being noticeable in the ear.Poor comprehension in conversation can possibly be caused by undetected hearing loss in the high-frequency range. This means the sensory cells in the cochlea that hear high-range sounds are damaged as a result of circulatory disorders, diabetes, sudden hearing loss or workplace noise. Hearing loss in the high frequency range makes speech sound muffled and unclear making it difficult to hear consonants like s, f, t, k, h and g.Speech comprehension is even more challenging when there is background noise or when television programs have background music. The dilemma is that people with hearing loss in the high-frequency range do not consider themselves to have a hearing problem. They can hear deep tones with no issue, and often put difficulty understanding speech down

to unclear pronunciation. However, the time soon comes when problems with comprehension become annoying. Phonak Audéo Venture Hearing AidsThis past year, Swiss audiologists have developed a hearing aid that can, in qualified candidates, improve speech comprehension for those with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can sign up for a free demonstration of the Audéo Venture hearing aids by calling now to do so. During your appointment, you will be given a hearing test and speech comprehension analysis. If

inner-ear damage is present, a hearing care professional will determine the difference relative to normal hearing. These values are then programmed into the hearing aids, which precisely take into account and balance the frequency range of the person being tested. The demonstration phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role the hearing aid technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The hearing aid recognizes where the person being spoken to is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this can significantly improve speech comprehension, especially in conversation for some clients.Want to find out more about the Audéo Venture hearing aid?

A new flat screen, made possible by donations from the Kutaj fam-ily, was unveiled at the Ladysmith Branch of the Royal Canadian Le-gion Saturday, Feb. 27.Also making donations were Rev.

Brian Wood (past Padre of the Le-gion) and members Jill Webb and Diane Atherton.

The occasion commemorated Lance Cpl. Ben Bronislaw, hus-band, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. Bronislaw’s widow Florence, attend the unveil-ing with other family members.

Bronislaw passed away in Oct. 2015 at the age of 91. Born in Po-land in 1925, he joined the army

when he was 16, serving with the Polish 11 corps in Italy, attached to the British 8th army.

He fought in the Battle for Monte Cassino – also known as the Battle for Rome – in January 1944. The Corps were awarded the Monte Cassino Commemorative Cross for Bravery. Bronislaw was also awarded the Polish Cross of Valor.Arriving in Canada in 1945, Bron-

islaw settled in Saskatchewan as a farm hand. He met Florence and married, they had 6 children, 3 boys and 3 girls.

Bronislaw worked for CP Rail for 36 years before retiring to Ladysmith.

A team of six runners passed through Ladysmith late Saturday morn-ing, Feb. 27, en route to Victoria next afternoon, where they were to be greeted by Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon.

By the time they arrived on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, they had completed a 600 km relay run, and raised awareness about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and other ‘mental health injuries’.“The runners have stopped at communities, fire halls and legions across

Vancouver Island where they talked about their experiences and con-nected with other veterans,” said a media release for the run. “PTSD and other Operational Stress Injuries may not be outwardly vis-ible but they have taken a terrible toll on veterans of all ages as well as their families.”Arriving in Ladysmith at about 11 a.m., the runners were greeted by a

party of Ladysmith Legion 171 executive members, a warm cup of cof-fee and some refreshments. They stayed about an hour before the call to muster came and they started out again.

March 1919MINIMUM WAGE IS NOW IN FORCE

- As of March 1st 1919 women engaged in Mercantile Industries must receive a fixed wage. The minimum wage for female em-ployees in mercantile industries, eighteen years of age and older is fixed at 26-9-16 cents per hour and $12.75 a week. Girls un-der eighteen, the minimum wage starts at $7.00 a week during the first three months of her employment and rises 50 cents a week every three months to $11.00 a week during the eighth three week month of her employment until she reaches the age of eighteen.

March 1956A by-law for full-day retail holiday on

Wednesday received final reading at the regular meeting of the city council Wednes-day evening and will become effective in time for it to observed on the first Wednes-day in April. This by-law implements the wishes of Ladysmith electors as expressed in a referendum ballot last month. The full day holiday on Wednesdays will take the place of the half-day holiday on Thursday which is now observed by retail establish-ments.

The by-law makes provision for the sale of drugs by prescription and for the sale of confections, ice-cream, soft-drinks, tobac-co, beer, meals and some other articles on Wednesday, but the sale of all other articles by retail will be banned. Fines ranging from $23.00 up have been provided as penalties for establishments failing to observe terms of the by-law.

March 1980Vietnamese refugees spent Saturday in

Victoria at a gathering of the 28 families now living on Vancouver Island. The new-est addition to the group is the Chou family, of Ladysmith , who arrived here in Febru-ary. Late last week, their struggle for a new identity unfolded through the interpreter. It is a struggle that has become common-place in Canada as governments and pri-vate sponsors come to grips with their de-cisions to foster the homeless victims of war and oppression. For John and Jane, the church’s sponsorship means a promise of freedom and a new life for them and their family.

The Chemainus Chamber of Commerce has announced the names of finalists in the Golden Brush Awards, with the winners to be announced at a gala cere-mony at the Chemainus Theatre April 2.“It is both heartwarming and inspiring to read through the nominations for the Chamber’s Golden Brush Awards,” said Chamber President Brad Grigor.

A silvery splash, a shim-mering roar, or a cascading thunder in white — water-falls come in many forms.

But few are those who fail to pause and drink in their wonder.

Some, like Jill Collins, will even walk many kilometres for a chance to experience one.“From a distance they sparkle, are magical and tranquil. Up close waterfalls are deafening, powerful and spectacular,” she writes in her blog getonthebeat-enpath.blogspot.ca. “They captivate us, stimulate our senses and are a highlight of many hikes on Vancouver Island.”

Collins, who writes about family recreation opportu-nities on the Island, recently posted a guide to the best waterfall hikes on its central east coast.

If you are looking for a nice, family-friendly after-noon walk, you may want to start right here.

There are 17 waterfalls included, ranging from Cowichan to Fanny Bay. Most of them are a relative-ly easy trek for the novice hiker that can be completed within a few hours or less.

Collins’ criteria was pretty simple: include all the wa-terfalls she could think of that were worth seeing and easily reachable for families in the central Island area.“I could have kept going but I ran out of energy,” she said with a laugh. “I needed to get this out.”A resident of the rural Ce-

dar area south of Nanaimo, Collins hasn’t been to ev-ery waterfall listed, but felt compelled to include those she hasn’t based on feed-back she’s received from fel-low hikers.

Her personal favourites are Ammonite Falls in Nanaimo and Stocking Creek Falls between Ladysmith and Chemainus — each for dif-ferent reasons.“Ammonite is very popular now; it never used to be as busy. It’s got the location and the wow factor,” she said. “Stocking Creek, it’s so easy to get there but you can get right down to the waterfall. Kids love it.”

Collins is a frequent reader of and contributor to vari-ous internet outdoor net-works. She’s hasn’t seen a similar list posted anywhere and she is surprised by the amount of attention this one has generated.“Not that I know of,” she

said. “I can’t believe the amount of hits.”

Collins describes the hikes listed as mostly easy to mod-erate and usually within cell phone range. Wear the ap-propriate footwear, pack some water and a snack, and you should be fine.

The directions provided by the blog will get you to the right spot, but they aren’t so detailed they will spoil the

joy of exploration.She plans to experience

every waterfall on the list and hopes she can inspire others to do the same.“That’s what it’s all about: inspiring people to get out there and enjoy our natural beauty,” she said. “I’m just someone who is passionate about getting outside. This is my way to show others there is so much right here.”

Falling for the Island’s accessible waterfalls

Job seekers are en-couraged to bring targeted resumes for attending em-ployers and to dress for success.”Attendees can expect to

meet company representa-tives, gain industry infor-

mation, and learn about the skills and training required to gain employ-ment in today’s job market. They will have an opportu-nity to ask questions and in some cases submit re-sumes directly for current positions.

Confirmed employers in-clude: Western Forest Prod-ucts, Catalyst Paper, Valley Integration to Active Living Society, Tim Horton’s, Cle-ments Centre Society, Lon-don Drugs, Steelhead LNG and CareCorp Seniors Ser-vices. “Most of the employ-

ers attending have either current vacancies or an upcoming need for staff,” Tieleman said.“Those interested are

encouraged to check out the Global Vocational Services website at www.gvsjobs.com for details on the event, including an updated list of employ-ers and training provid-ers who will be in atten-dance.”

Never mind the choppy waters, it’s still damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead for the firm behind Vancouver Island’s biggest industrial proposal in at least a generation.

Despite glum economic forecasts, political oppo-sition and upheaval for one of its key partners, the CEO of Steelhead LNG says the company is still on track to meet its planned schedule on whether to proceed with a multi-billion-dollar plan to build two liquified natural gas plants on Vancouver Island.“We are on target, given the schedule we had be-fore,” Steelhead CEO Nigel Kuzemko said.

Kuzemko’s comments come in the wake of Tues-day’s throne speech where Premier Christy Clark pledged the B.C. government’s continued commit-ment to LNG exports, despite project delays and a global glut of oil and gas.

The Shell-led LNG Canada project proposed for Kitimat has postponed its final investment decision until the end of the year, while the Petronas-led Pa-cific Northwest LNG proposed for Prince Rupert is also behind schedule.

In June, the International Energy Agency warned a flood of new LNG supply was coming onto the market. It suggested new plants would struggle to

get off the ground as current LNG prices would not justify the capital cost.

But Kuzemko said Steelhead representatives are confident that by the time its project is operational, the markets in China and Japan will be much im-proved.“2020-plus is a very different market,”he said. “The

excess product will be used up by then.”On Oct. 2, Steelhead LNG announced National

Energy Board approval for a license to export up to 30 million tonnes of liquified natural gas per year over a 25-year period from two proposed sites.

Steelhead had previously announced proposals to build export facilities on each Vancouver Island coast: a $30 billion facility at Sarita Bay, about 75 kilometres southwest of Port Alberni, and a smaller floating terminal at the Bamberton site just south of the Mill Bay ferry terminal.

The Sarita Bay proposal is being explored with the Huu-ay-aht First Nation, while the Mill Bay proj-ect is proceeding in conjunction with the Malahat First Nation.

The latter band received a jolt Wednesday with the announcement three top economic development officials had been dismissed as part of an ongoing review of governance and finances initiated by new Chief Caroline Harry and her council shortly after they were elected in November.

Previous chief Michael Harry resigned last sum-mer amidst allegations he was receiving a consult-ing fee from the owners of a controversial contami-nated soil treatment facility near Shawnigan Lake.

That occurred just prior to the band’s Aug. 20 an-nouncement that a long-term lease deal had been reached with Steelhead for the Mill Bay plant.

Kuzemko said Steelhead is continuing to work with the new chief and council to iron out any con-cerns they may have.“Every organization goes through this, particularly after a political change,” he said. “The deal that we signed is still in place.”
