The town of Ladysmith showed its flair for throwing a community party Saturday and Sunday with a parade, talent show, kid’s ac-tivities, park grand opening, contests and a fireworks display to put a final star burst on the whole celebration.

Now organizers on the Ladysmith Celebra-tion Committee, and the community groups that pitched in to make the day a resounding success, can take a breather.

Taran and Brooklyn Sidhu were among the thousands who flocked to First Avenue to watch the Ladysmith Days Parade Saturday, then participate in the fun activities happen-ing downtown and at Transfer Beach. More photos on pages 8 and 9 inside. Craig SpenCe

Rob Johnson ‘Citizen of the Year’ for 2015

Ladysmith,a town tocelebrate

Rob Johnson, centre, was named Citizen of the Year at Ladysmith Days Saturday. Congratulat-ing him are Ladysmith Celebration Committee Presient Barry Frech and Mayor Aaron Stone.

The list of credits linking Rob Johnson to the well-being of Ladysmith was too long to completely cover during a ceremony just before the annual Ladysmith Days Pa-rade Saturday.“When I got the notes for Citizen of the year,

I didn’t have much room to embellish or any-thing,” Mayor Aaron Stone said in his speech,

“because I got two full pages of accomplish-ments and contributions.”

Johnson was ‘born and raised’ in Ladysmith and is a ‘true ambassador for our town,” he told the crowd.

The list of Johnson’s accomplishments over the last 20 years includes:• Member of The Rotary Club;• Volunteer researcher for the Ladysmith &

District Historical Society

• Member of the Ladysmith Revitalization Committee;• Member of the Ladysmith Maritime Society

and boat skipper of their heritage vessel for the past eight years; • Conducting tours, which he developed, of

Ladysmith Harbour;• Helping with Christmas Hamper deliveries

each year... and than some.“This person works tirelessly on behalf of

Ladysmith, whether it be conducting guided walk-ing tours through town, greeting visitors, attend-ing council meetings, or spreading the good word when travelling to other jurisdictions,” Stone said.“The Ladysmith Celebrations Committee and the Town of Ladysmith are honored to pres-ent this award for 2015 to none other than Rob Johnson.”

There’s 22 stairs from the first floor of the Waterfront Gallery to the second. Kathy Holmes, President of the gallery knows. She’s counted them many times lugging boxes up to the office, which is also home to the Ladysmith Arts Council.

So she, fellow LAC members and visitors to the Waterfront are looking forward to the day – hopefully in November or sooner – when an elevator, now under construction in the gal-lery entrance, is operational, and getting to the top will be as easy as pushing a button.“We’re really excited because it’s going to be a benefit to the

community,” she said.And community partners have given the project a big lift: the

federal government kicked in $40,000, The BC Rehab Foun-dation another $18,000. The Town of Ladysmith, which owns the historic building where the Waterfront is located, and the Cowichan Valley Regional District also helped, as has the Ladysmith District Credit Union.As much as Holmes and other frequent users of the 22 steps

are celebrating, the group that will benefit most are those who, until the elevator doors open, can’t get upstairs at all. “It makes us compliant, so people of all abilities can get upstairs,” Holmes said.

That doesn’t make the elevator a work of art, but it is an addi-tion to the gallery that will be much appreciated by many.

A surge in shellfish-related illness because of the hot summer weather has prompted the B.C. Centre for Disease Control to issue a warning to oyster lovers.

The centre says 35 cases of a bacterial infection called Vibrio parahaemolyticus have been report-ed in June and July – an unprecedented number.

Most people got sick from eating raw B.C. oysters served in restaurants, although some cases involved oysters that were self-harvested or bought at retail outlets.

The bacteria occurs naturally in shellfish like oysters, clams, mussels, scallops and cockles and their concentrations rise in the summer months when water temperatures get warmer.“The risk is especially high this summer, as we

can see from the number of Vibrio infections reported during the last two months,” said BCCDC epidemiologist Marsha Taylor.

People can get sick when contaminated shell-fish are eaten raw or undercooked.

Diarrhea is the most common symptom from infection, but nausea, vomiting, fever, head-ache and bloody stools can also result. Symp-toms last three days to a week and don’t usu-ally require treatment.

The BCCDC advises consumers to eat only cooked shellfish to destroy the bacteria and re-duce the risk of gastrointestinal illness.

Increase in tainted oysters heat related

Increasing water temperatures are leading to the risk of people becoming ill due to tainted oysters.

The Vancouver Island Economic Trust is of-fering 20 ‘registration bursaries’ for people wanting to attend the Vancouver Island Eco-nomic Summit Oct. 28 - 29 at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre in Nanaimo.

They are also offering five $1,000 bursaries for people who want to attend “targeted eco-nomic development training courses.”“We’re committed to community participation in their own economic development, and that means providing the opportunity to learn from others and share best practices,” said ICET Chair Phil Kent. “These bursaries are designed to remove the financial barrier for those who are actively in-volved in economic development and want to further their skills.”

The ICET also wants to get younger ‘movers and shakers’ engaged. Ten of the 20 bursaries for the Economic Summit will go to eligible ap-plicants younger than 40.

Deadline for the bursaries is Sept. 25; details are available at www.islandcoastaltrust.ca.

Coffee and a Coke quench vehicle fire

An early morning acci-dent on Highway 1 at Davis Road ended with-out injury, perhaps due to the morning coffee and ‘fresh can of Coke,’ which the driver and passenger of a south bound vehicle had on board.

RCMP and the Ladysmith fire depart-ment responded after the driver, heading to work in Chemainus, lost control of his car after the right rear tire ‘sud-denly blew off the rim.’

The car swerved, then slammed into a con-crete barrier on the shoulder between North and South Davis Road before coming to rest.“The vehicle then caught fire briefly,” the RCMP report says, add-ing that the fire was quickly extinguished

“with a cup of coffee and a fresh can of Coke.”

Quick thinking and action continued after the accident. “The vehi-cle sustained significant damage, but the driver and lone occupant were uninjured,” the RCMP report continues.

Undeterred by the experience, the driver didn’t take a day off.

“He was late, but made it to work,” the report concludes.

The vehicle was towed away.

Craig Spencethe chronicle

When there’s no reporters around, pestering him with questions, and John Marston is alone with the gigantic half rounds of cedar he’s shaping into works of art, he’s often praying to the tree that is allowing him to make real a hu-man vision.

It’s a state of mind – a form of meditation, he says – that is part of the very long process Marston is engaged in at the Waterfront Gallery, where he is hand-carving two immense pieces of cedar. If you can’t immerse yourself spiritu-ally in the art – be in harmony with the routines of chipping, chiselling and shaping for hours, days, months – you could never do what he does: create mag-nificent art out of magnificent trees.

The logs he’s squaring up, in what used to be a locomotive and truck repair shop behind the Waterfront Gallery, are 16 feet long by three feet wide – two halves of a single split length of cedar. He could be working on them for six months to a year.“Eventually they have to be full-time to get them done,” he said.

“They require that amount of time.”Carving this big requires a vision,

and Marston has encapsulated his in a one-twelfth scale model of what the finished work he’s presently squaring and prepping will look like

– one inch in the model for every foot of the finished work.As a First Nations artist steeped in his peo-

ple’s traditions, but surrounded by a world where history is being rewritten at an ever ac-celerating pace, Marston has two approaches to his sculptures.“A lot of the carvings have historical signifi-

cance of our history here in Ladysmith or on the Coast,” he said. “Some of the carvings, they tell stories of old legends that have been passed down for thousands of years.”

Then there are works that blend contempo-rary with traditional.“Some pieces are completely modern concepts, ideas that I as a First Nations person deal with every day in our modern world. It’s an explora-tion of both ideas: the traditional concepts and where we are today.”

No matter which approach Marston takes, his view is always from the persepctive of a First Nations artist exploring and explaining his world through art. “The history and the culture always stays,” he said. “That part of it always stays with the work, even if it is considered a contemporary piece.“Some artists, we’re telling our stories through

our work, but we’re also always having to tell our ancestors’ stories. We’re always trying to find ways to meld them both together in a way that’s honorable.”

Marston has an aesthetic in mind for the work. “I think of nice, soft, golden lines throughout the work so when you look at it you still feel

like you’re standing in front of an ancient cedar tree,” he said.

This isn’t the first time Marston and the Waterfront Gallery have teamed up. In 2008 he, his brother Luke and a group of Victoria artists mounted an international Crossing the Pacific exhibition at the Cana-dian Embassy in Japan. The show was also hosted in Ladysmith at the Waterfront Gallery and at the Victo-ria Art Gallery.

He wants to build on that relation-ship. “I’ve spent a lot of time over the

years, working with art galleries across Canada and in Vancouver,” Marston said, “and I kept thinking we could show our work here and spend time in our own community,

but we also had to create a space and a venue to do that.“That’s important for myself, and for our Na-tion and for our community.”

The cavernous machine shop space he’s working in now, as an artist in residence with the Waterfront Gallery holds some personal history for Marston. His father and grandfather worked in the building.

“They both worked here when this place was bustling with machinery and all sorts of things.”

Just how long Marston will be working on his sculptures at the Waterfront Gallery is an open ended question. But while he’s there as artist in residence, he’s happy to talk to people and answer questions about what he’s doing. For more information about the Open Studio, call 250-245-1252.

Cataract Treatment Advancements

Cataracts cause the clear lens in your eye to be-come cloudy, blocking light from reaching the reti-na, resulting in hazy or cloudy vision. The clouding is caused by protein changes in the lens, which tend to gradually progress over time. Cataracts af-fect more than 2.5 million Canadians and ultimately require surgery to restore vision loss. Two cataract

research advancements shed light on future hopes and current options.

Researchers recently discovered a steroid-based eye drop that dissolves protein buildup in the lens. Lanosterol, a naturally occurring steroid found in the body, has been found to significantly shrink cataracts in donated human lenses, rabbits, and dogs. As this exciting new research continues to develop, Lanosterol steroid-solution drops could potentially offer the treatment and prevention of cataracts. This experimental study has yet to include humans, as researchers are focused on determining how Lanos-terol dissolves the cataracts before trialing on human cataract patients. In the meantime, recent technological advancements in cataract surgery are serving to revolutionize this field.

Cataract surgery extracts the cloudy lens and replaces it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) implant. This artificial lens generally tends to provide clear distance vision, but requires corrective glasses for reading or viewing objects at an arm’s length (a monofocal lens design). The new TECNIS Symfony intraocular lenses are designed to provide near, intermediate, and distance vision, which significantly reduces or may eliminate the need for corrective glasses after cataract surgery. The Symfony lens technology provides an extended range of vision but unlike multifocal IOL designs, the vision is of higher quality. Previous multifocal lens designs tend to cause increased glare and haloing around lights. Reports indicate that the new Symfony IOL provides high quality vision without haloes and glare - compa-rable to that of a regular monofocal lens design.

Continuous advancements in cataract research are revolutionizing the management and treatment of cataracts. As the materials, designs, and procedures advance, cataract patients have a bright and clear future.

Please be aware, there are many Scams going on out there. One of the latest is a phone call from a person claiming to be with Revenue Canada, who says they will send the police to arrest you unless you pay what you owe them. If you receive any phone calls from anyone you are not familiar with, do not send money or give any personal information. Seniors have lost thousands of dollars to these scams, so please be careful. You can always call the police and report scams.

I have booked the Roadmasters Safety group for Oct. 15 to come and talk to Seniors regarding Driving Information for Seniors. I will give you more information in the September article or you can phone Barb at 250-245-3079.

Beware of scam artists, they’re out there, preying on seniors.

The Ladysmith Health Care Auxilliary is celebrating 25 years of partnership with Philips Lifeline providing a service to the community that helps seniors who are prone to falls.

Older adults suffer falls and fall related injuries at a “stag-gering” rate, says a news re-lease from the Auxiliary and Philips Lifeline. “One in three Canadians over the age of 65 will experience a fall this year,” they say, “and older adults who fall once are two to three times as likely to fall again within a year.”

Lifeline units with the Auto-Alert function, introduced five years ago, further protects seniors at risk for falls by au-tomatically signaling for help if someone is disoriented, im-mobilized, or unconscious.“When seniors experience a fall or other emergency, every second counts,” says the Life-line release. “Delayed medical care can jeopardize their re-covery and independence. “In the last year, almost 12,000 falls in subscribers’ homes in Canada were detected by Life-line units with the AutoAlert

function, 468 in the Ladysmith and Victoria areas.

The Ladysmith Lifeline Pro-gram, which started with five units, now serves over 120 subscribers.

Revenue from the program supports Ladysmith Hospi-tal Auxiliary’s Guardian Fund which has sponsored the Life-line service for more than 50 seniors and those medically at risk in the Ladysmith commu-

nity over the past 12 years.“We provide peace of mind for the entire family,” said Ja-nine Hunka of Ladysmith Life-line. “Independent living is a top priority for aging seniors. Family caregivers need to know their loved ones can ac-cess help quickly when they’re not there.”

A Lifeline for seniors prone to falls

Making sure someone is there quickly in the event of a fall help re-duce the long term effects that can jeopardize seniors’ recovery and independence.

Summer’s half over, but Stock the Lockers is in full swing. The Nanaimo-Ladysmith Schools Foundation announced Thurs-day that it is set to launch its annual campaign raising funds for families that can’t afford to adequately supply their kids with school necessities.“A new school year is a real

challenge for many local fami-lies, especially those with more than one child,” said Crystal Dennison, NLSF executive di-rector. “School supplies, cloth-ing, shoes and school fees are costly.”

So the NLSF is holding its sixth Stock the Lockers campaign, kicking off Aug 13, 10 a.m., at Staples’ North Nanaimo store, 6581 Aulds Road and continuing through to Sept. 3.“Starting the school year off

with the right supplies can mean the difference between success or failure for many students,” said Dennison. “Our

Stock the Lockers campaign helps ensure that all students are able to come to school ready to learn.”

Poverty is a fact of life for many students in the Nanai-mo-Ladysmith School District, which historically has a high child poverty rate. Almost one in five children in the school district is affected by poverty, according to a recent report by Dr. Paul Hasselback, Island Health’s medical health officer for the central Island region.

But the effects of poverty can be mitigated by community ac-tion.“Despite issues of poverty, many students are successful,” Dennison said. “Giving them a helping hand in the form of school supplies, adequate foot ware for PE, clean clothes, breakfast, lunch, and other un-met basic needs allows them to focus on their education.”As well as responding to ur-

gent needs of individual stu-

dents, the Schools Foundation supports programs like the elementary music initiative, which provides funds to buy instruments and introduce children to the joy of making music.

It also gives Grade 12 gradu-ates access to scholarships and bursaries to help with the high cost of post-secondary education, and (through an estate) funds special projects focused on student leadership, community development, and social responsibility.

Donations for the Stock the Lockers campaign are taken at the two Staples stores in Nanaimo, Coastal Community Credit Union branches, and the Ladysmith District Credit Union. Contributions can also be made on-line through the foundation’s website: www.NLSF.ca.

Tax receipts will be issued by mail for donations over $20. For more information, contact Dennison at 250-753-4074.

On Sunday Prime Minister Stephen Harper Visited Governor General David Johnston and requested Parliament be dissolved

and the writ dropped on the longest Federal election period since 1926.

That’s good.Not because it means we’ll be ex-

posed to more acrimony, obfuscation and misrepresentation in the form of slick ad campaigns mounted by well-funded parties and their allies deter-mined to distract and mislead rather than inform.

Not because the timing – as it has been in most every other Canadian election – is another instance of a party making a purely partisan decision in the hopes of retaining its grip on power.

No, it’s good because an eleven week campaign between now and Oct. 19 gives Canadians a chance to deeply consider the issues confronting this nation as a member of the global com-munity and as a steward of its own citizens’ wellbeing.

So even before Harper dropped the writ, we were preparing to launch our election coverage.

There has never been a more im-portant time for Canadians to make thoughtful choices; never a moment that will have a greater impact on our communities now and for the foresee-able future.

We all need to step up. At the Chron-icle we will be dedicating lots of space to the 2015 election (see page 7 for our plan), with articles on the issues and requests for commentary from the community and from candidates representing Canada’s four major par-ties in the Nanaimo-Ladysmith riding.

We’ll be touching on climate change, homelessness and poverty, economic development, electoral and parlia-mentary reform, and other issues that emerge in a dialogue with you, our readers. Our objective is to nudge up the numbers of people who vote, and who vote thoughtfully.

(Re: Province remains committed to E&N funding, Chronicle, July 28)

On Aug. 8, 2013 I wrote a letter to Marc Labliberte, president and CEO of Via Rail, comparing the short rail track between Québec City and Cl-ermont (on the North Shore of the St. Lawrence River) with the E&N line, now owned by the Island Corridor Founda-tion.

The Québec-Clairmont line, at 150 km and serving an es-timated population of 33,000, compares with: the approxi-

mately 220 km of track be-tween Victoria and Courtney, serving an estimated popula-tion of 231,000; or with the Victoria-Parksville E&N seg-ment of 150 km serving a pop-ulation of about 188,000.

In Québec I photographed an Action Canada sign, pro-moting: “Rehabilitation of rail-roads of interest to Québec.”

I sent this information to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Federal Transporta-tion Minister Lisa Raitt, B.C. Premier Christy Clark, B.C. Transportation Minister Todd Stone, and CEO of the Island Corridor Foundation Graham Bruce (among others) and

provided my distribution list to all copied with my letter.

On Jan. 8, 2015 Minister Raitt sent me a two-page let-ter wherein she stated: “In this regard, the Government of Canada has committed $7.5 million in funding through the Building Canada Fund to ad-dress critical safety repairs to rail infrastructure on Vancou-ver Island in partnership with the Province of British Colum-bia”.

She copied Prime Minister Harper. Has no one else re-ceived this message from the minister?

E&N federal funding already in place


The writ’s dropped hereCraig Spencethe chronicle

It’s widely anticipated we’ll be in election mode by the time you read this item. Prime Minis-ter Stephen Harper is expected to visit Governor General Da-vid Johnston and request Par-liament be dissolved, sending Canada into the longest elec-tion campaign since 1926, and arguably a campaign as impor-tant as it will be arduous.

The Ladysmith-Chemainus Chronicle is determined to raise issues of interest to read-ers and offer candidates of the four main parties running in Nanaimo-Ladysmith – Conser-vative, New Democrat, Liberal and Green – an opportunity to state their positions.

We’ll also be looking for ways to raise questions you want to ask, and present per-spectives from you, the voters in our coverage area. So no matter what Prime Minister Harper does, we will begin ad-dressing the issues next week.

We’re going to take some novel approaches in our ef-forts to get citizens involved, informed and ready to vote come Oct. 19.

Each week we will focus on a specific issue. We have our list: climate change, electoral reform, poverty and home-lessness, adequate funding for municipal levels of govern-ment, health care, economic development, world aid, to name a few.

But with eleven weeks, and 10 editions between the start of our coverage and our last pre-election edition on Oct. 13, we figure there’s time to cover a lot of ground and adjust our questions to get in your con-cerns.

Here’s what we’ll be doing:• In each edition between Oct.

11 and 13 we will summarize a specific issue we believe is of concern to our readers and fellow Canadians, beginning with climate change. We will do our best to remain neutral, but won’t shy away from pre-senting information that ap-pears to place one or another of the parties in a more favor-able light.• We will step outside the

usual journalistic frame by sharing our overview with all the main-party candidates be-fore it is published, and invit-ing them to comment on the

importance of the issue and how it would be addressed by them and their party. We will also let readers know what the upcoming topic is going to be.• We will run our summary

and candidates’ responses – if they choose to respond – in the next edition of the Chron-icle, along with a representa-tive sampling of readers per-spectives and views.• We’ll do our best to engage

our community in the news-paper and online. You can find our Facebook page at Ladysmith/Chemainus Chron-icle.

Hyperbole is the norm come election time. But we at the Chronicle do not be-lieve it’s an overstatement to declare this is the most im-portant election in the vast majority of our life times. The issues confronting us as a nation and as citizens of a global community are more urgent than at any time in our lived history.

More than any other elec-tion we can remember, we are making choices that will im-pact our children and grand-children’s lives.

This is the most important election in the vast majority of our lives

Two days of fabulous fun!


C02 strategy under discussionEnvironment Minister Mary Polak has is-

sued an invitation to British Columbians to have their say about how the province should achieve its CO2 reduction targets over the

next five to 40 years.“B.C.’s new Climate Leadership Plan will in-fluence how British Columbians will work, travel and live for decades to come,” the min-ister said in a July 17 statement. “That’s why it’s important we hear from you now, before government makes decisions on next steps.”

People who want to inform themselves and comment on B.C.’s Greenhouse Gas emission strategy have until Aug. 17, during the first phase of a consultation process that is expect-ed to result in a final strategy for the province by March, 2016.

The Ministry of the Environment has posted a 32 page discussion paper online and is invit-ing people to comment on four ‘objectives and approaches’ in the plan, focused on the way we live, travel, work and what we value.“Building on our global climate leadership,

B.C. is developing a new climate leadership plan to move our climate agenda forward,” said Jordan Sturdy, deputy chair of the Cli-mate Leadership Team, and parliamentary secretary to the minister of transportation and infrastructure.

Says the Ministry of Environment release, “British Columbia is in the process of develop-ing a new Climate Leadership Plan to ensure the province remains a climate leader.”

B.C. has levied a ‘revenue neutral’ carbon tax since 2008. Initially the tax was $5 per tonne of CO2, increasing in $5 increments until it reached $30 per tonne in 2012, a price the gov-ernment has committed to until at least 2018.

The plan commits B.C. to reduce its GHG emissions by 33 percent from 2007 levels by 2020; 80 percent by 2050. “As we refresh and revitalize B.C.’s climate plan, our focus remains firmly on our commitment to reach our legislated emissions reduction targets for 2020 and 2050,” Sturdy said.

You can download or read the climate dis-cussion paper and take an online survey at engage.gov.bc.ca/climateleadership. A sec-ond public consultation will take place after a draft plan, incorporating responses to the discussion paper, is released in the fall, with completion of the Climate Leadership Plan an-ticipated in the spring of 2016.

Good Bones showingat Waterfront GallerySherry BezansonFOR the chROnicle

A circle of deer antlers, composed of perhaps 50-60 sets; installation pieces of pink and gold, and a mystery wall hanging that creates in-trigue on the scale of The Da Vinci Code. That’s only the beginning of the charm and scale of Good Bones, now on display at the Waterfront Gallery.

Good Bones indicates something solid, de-pendable, and for the common good. Artists were challenged to paint, assemble, and cre-ate their interpretation of Good Bones. And so they did. Approximately thirty artists have contributed to this latest show.

The Gala Opening took place Aug. 1, at the Waterfront Gallery with an introduction by Guest Speaker John Whitelaw, a retired pa-thologist, who has been interested in natural history since childhood.

He gave an inspiring talk about his photogra-phy. A latecomer to serious amateur photogra-phy, he has attended workshops by American landscape photographer Charles Cramer, wild-life photographer Frans Lanting, and master print-maker R. Mac Holbert.

Currently he is focused on ‘constructions/arrangements,’ and the Japanese aesthetic of ‘wabi-sabi’ (about the imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete). He has collaborated recently with Smithsonian ornithologists, using a novel technique to photograph difficult-to-see birds of the Neotropical understory.

He captures his images with a full frame digi-tal camera, obligatorily lightly processed with Photoshop, and printed with an Epson inkjet printer. They are essentially ‘as shot.’

Everyone is welcome to view this show from noon to 4 p.m. daily and seven days a week

throughout the summer months. The show runs until Aug. 25.

Opening nights at the Waterfront Gallery are the first Saturday of every month, each featur-ing a unique speaker, plentiful appetizers, and of course the good will of the gallery goers. So mark your calendar.

Construction is currently underway at the gal-lery for installation of a new elevator, but that doesn’t detract from the quality of this show. So come on down and see Good Bones.
