Petition circulating for Jaedyn’s Law

Though it is too late for his own little girl, Paul Amann hopes a petition his family and friends have circulated regard-ing soccer net legislation and safety will help save the lives of children across Canada.“We don’t want to see any other family go through what we have,” he told the Chronicle. “There’s a big gap in our life.”Amann’s five-year-old daughter

Jaedyn died July 4 when a col-lapsable soccer net came down and struck her in the back of the head in Watson Lake, Yukon. Since the incident, Amann said he learned his daughter is num-ber 94 on a list of known inci-dences involving youth (aged newborn to 30) killed by soc-cer nets in North America since 1979. While there are several Canadians on the list, Jaedyn is the first in B.C. “It makes me sick to my stom-ach to the point of throwing up

because obviously our govern-ment hasn’t stepped forward and dealt with this,” Amann said.

“To me, it’s like the government is failing our children. This is in their own backyard, and they’re not dealing with it.”

The l i s t , found a t www.anchoredforsafety.org, was com-piled by the Tran family after their six-year-old son Zachary was killed by a 186-pound soc-cer goal that fell on top of him in 2003. Eight years later, after the family’s tireless advocacy, the

governor of Illinois signed leg-islation targeting the prevention of tipping movable soccer goals.Amann said former Chronicle

publisher Bobbi Jean Cloke and a lawyer from Vancouver have stepped forward to help work on the wording of the legislation. Their goal is to advocate on both provincial and federal doorsteps.“If we don’t go across Canada, the numbers are still going to grow … the numbers should not pass 94,” he said. “We want to see that there are no more porta-

ble soccer nets, that they should all be anchored and make it law to have a guideline, maybe even have safety inspections before, after and during tournaments.”At press time, there were 5,000

online signatures on the petition, which reads, “We propose that Jaedyn’s Law mandates that sporting nets across Canada be sufficiently anchored, banning collapsible nets on government (provincial and municipal) oper-ated play fields and be routinely

Gryphon’s Lair raising money for North Oyster hot lunch program

A former North Oyster Elementary School student wants to see the school’s old lunch program put back on the menu.

At the end of the school year, parents learned that provincial CommunityLink funding, which supported the school’s hot lunch program, was being re-allocated to instructional supports for students.

In its place, the Nanaimo Foodshare Program will be providing meals at a cost of $3.75 per student whose need was identified by a take-home survey. School district representa-tives have said extra meals will also be available to students to ensure no child goes hungry. The meals previ-ously cost $1.50 per student.

However Stacey MacAdam, North Oyster Parent Advisory Council member, is concerned that the cost will be too much for some fami-lies, and she is trying to fundraise approximately $30,000 by summer’s end to keep the hot lunch program in place.

Whi le there has been some response, MacAdam is worried it won’t be enough to make that September deadline.“We’ve sent out letters and it’s been

in the newspapers; I just don’t know what to do next,” she said.

Terry Giannakos said he was spurred to action after reading the Chronicle’s July 3 article on the issue. Giannakos said he grew up in Ladysmith and attended North Oyster Elementary School through Grades 1-7. At the time, his father owned the Omega Restaurant on the outskirts of Ladysmith (now The Gryphon’s Lair). Although he was not a recipient of the lunch pro-gram, Giannakos said many of his schoolmates were.“That school means a lot to me, then

when I saw the article … I wanted to see how we could help,” he said.

“Times are tough for everybody right now, and that program helps a lot

of people.”After 20 years away from home,

Giannakos has returned as executive chef and manager of The Gryphon’s Lair. For the past six years, he has been a consultant for restaurants around the continent, helping res-taurant owners who are down in sales to improve through administra-tion, new menus and training of staff.

He says he is interested in giving back to the community as his father did when he owned the restaurant. On Fri., Aug. 10, the restaurant will be hosting a pig roast with live enter-tainment to support the Ladysmith Food Bank. Patrons who bring in donations to the Ladysmith Food Bank will receive a free appetizer with their meal that night.“It’s cool to be back,” Giannakos

said.On Aug. 23, The Gryphon’s Lair

is donating 25 per cent of all food purchases made at the restau-rant that day to the North Oyster Elementary School hot lunch pro-gram. Giannakos is also trying to pull together corporate sponsor-ships from the food industry and says he already has a commitment of approximately $3,000.

In addition, Yellow Point Lodge has made a $900 donation to the cause.

MacAdam said she has also had an individual come forward to inquire about a mutual fund donation, but with school out of session, she has been unable to consult with admin-istration.

Giannakos said that if the hot lunch program is not able to be re-instated, he is interested in looking into the possibility of providing a free meal to students in need once a week by donating his time and corporate sponsorships donating the neces-sary food.“I want to see what we can do and

what we’re allowed to do,” he said. “Something’s gotta be done.”

If you’d like to find out more infor-mation or are interested in helping out, contact Stacey MacAdam at 250-667-2561.

Detachment responded to 87 calls for service over the past seven days. Friday, July 27• In the early morn-

ing hours of July 27, the Ladysmith RCMP responded to a report of a loud bang and a car horn going off on Victoria Road.

Paramedics and the North Cowichan Fire Department also

attended the scene. The female driver had to be extracted from the vehicle by the fire department and suf-fered serious facial injuries, as well as a fractured leg and ribs. The female was airlift-ed to Victoria General

Hospital where she underwent surgery. Also in the vehicle was a dog, which was taken to a local veteri-narian by the attending RCMP officers. The police are continuing their investigation into the accident.Saturday, July 28• The Ladysmith RCMP

Native Daughters donate to museum

Members of the local chapter of the Native Daughters of BC recently donated $2,000 to the Ladysmith Museum.

inspected and maintained.”There is also a paper petition

circulating around town, but it is unknown how many signa-tures were on it at press time.Amann is hoping to have at

least 10,000 signatures by the time the petition is submitted to provincial and federal gov-ernments. Amann said he and his wife, Tara Hicks, are cur-rently seeking legal advice and plan to pursue legal action in

regards to the incident.“We see lots of neglect on the ministry’s part because of the condition of the nets and how old they were,” Amann said. “I think these nets were in use when I went to school there 30 years ago.”

The tragedy has triggered an outpouring of support from the communities of Watson Lake and Ladysmith, where Hicks grew up. The family also lives in Cedar for part of the year,

while Hicks attends university.A trust fund, garage sale,

concert and beer and burger night have all been held to raise money for the family. Purple silicone bracelets with the words Jaedyn Forever are being sold to raise money for the B.C. Children’s Hospital. A water park in Watson Lake has already been renamed Jaedyn’s Park as well.

To sign the petition, visit www.jaedynslaw.com.

Everyone wins as Nanaimo Airport celebrates one-millionth passenger

A l t h o u g h n o b o d y walked away with the million-dollar prize, everyone was a win-ner July 26 when the Nanaimo Airport host-ed the qualifiers of its six-week Thanks a Million contest.

Each of the 30 region-al qualifiers tried their five-digit code to open a safe and win $1 mil-lion. Although none of the qualifiers’ codes opened the safe, each did walk away with a secondary prize.

Kees Van Jaarsveld of Duncan won a one-year lease of a Jetta f rom Harbourv iew Vo l k s w a g e n , a n d Ladysmith’s Gayl Scott won a 47-inch LED S a m s u n g T V f r o m McKays Electronic Experts.

T h e N a n a i m o A i r p o r t ’s G a i n i n g Altitude — A Million and Beyond campaign is the next step in the a i r p o r t ’s m a n a g e d growth strategy that

saw the completion of a two-phase expansion plan between 2006 and 2011. During that time 913,000 passengers travelled through the terminal, and the air-port reached its goal of one million passengers in early July.“Collaboration and

partnership has been the driving force behind the success of this campaign,” Nanaimo Airport president/CEO Mike Hooper said in a press release. “Our suc-cess as an airport is tied directly to the support we receive from airport service providers, area residents, businesses and elected officials. I extend a huge thank you to all of those that stepped forward and sponsored this promo-tion.”Along with a larger

terminal, more parking and faster passenger screening and baggage handling, Nanaimo Airport’s 2011 comple-t ion of the airport expansion plan also extended its runways

to accommodate com-mercial jet landings, and added high inten-s i ty runway l ights , lead-in lights and a new instrument land-ing system to improve all-weather reliability.“A thriving airport

will not only give our residents more travel options, but will also have significant impact

on the whole region,” noted Hooper.

In 2012, the Nanaimo Airport supported an estimated 700 full-time jobs directly and indi-rectly and, through its activities, generated approximately $54 million to the regional economy in total gross revenues, according to the press release.

Staff WriterTHE CHRONICLE

The power of part-nerships is a theme running through the Town of Ladysmith 2011 Annual Report.

Counci l recent ly approved the report, which deta i ls the town’s financial state-ments, strategic plan-ning directions and community profile and provides informa-tion about the town’s commissions, staff and committees.

To open the report, Mayor Rob Hutchins highlights the spirit of working together with the Stz’uminus First Nation and also with various groups around the community, which led to many achieve-ments throughout the year.“The desire to build a strong and resil-ient community is an excellent start-ing point for forging positive relationships with neighbours and fel low cit izens as we work together to achieve our common goals and dreams,” he writes. “One of the reasons for the many successes and accom-plishments all resi-dents of Ladysmith can be proud of is that we know how to work well together

— and to build last-ing friendships as we build an even better community.”

I n h i s m e s s a g e , Hutchins explains that the Town and the Stz’uminus First Nation came together throughout the year to draft a renewed Community Accord, which was signed this May and which lays out a framework for working together to improve the com-munities.“The Accord, first signed in 2007, laid the foundation for a new way of working together on common issues and oppor-tunities for our two communities,” writes Hutchins. “As with so many projects, the process will leave as big a legacy as the outcome. Through the process of renew-ing the Community Accord , we spent time together, shar-ing, getting to know one another, building honest and lasting friendships. We still have differences, but more than anything, we have a positive relationship and know how to work together.”

Co-operation was a strong theme through-out 2011 in the com-munity, resulting in many major accom-plishments, such as completing the new Community Services Centre/Spirit Square complex on High Street, completing t h e L i q u i d Wa s t e Management Plan and

moving ahead with plans for a secondary treatment plant; intro-ducing a new policy to guide secondary suites in Ladysmith homes after public consultation and dis-cussion; continuing the process to imple-ment the Ladysmith Sustainability Vision; and others.

City manager Ruth

Malli ’s report also focuses on achieve-ment.“While the economic

volatility of recent years has certainly been very challeng-ing, the uncertainty has also resulted in a stronger, more con-nected community,” she writes. “In the years ahead, I believe that 2011 wi l l be remembered as the year that our commu-nity really embraced the immense value o f p a r t n e r s h i p s and collaboration. Relationships have always been impor-tant, but as resources have become increas-ingly limited (people and money), the need to work together has intensified.”

In 2011, the Town’s organizational focus was centered on four key areas — sustain-ability, transparency, communication and service excellence, explained Malli, who went on to list key achievements in each of those areas.

The 2011 Annual Report outlines the Town’s strategic direc-

tions. To a c h i e v e t h e

Town’s vision that “Ladysmith is a spir-ited community that values its small town quality of life, where we work together as stewards of our heri-tage, environment and economy,” the Town follows seven strate-gic directions: wise

financial management, effective land use planning and commu-nity design, dynamic economic develop-ment, enhanced stan-dard of infrastructure, responsible steward-ship of the environ-ment, safe and healthy community, and sup-portive corporate gov-ernance.

Each strategic direc-

tion has associated goals and actions.

Some of the stra-tegic and corporate objectives identified for 2012 include: • commence phased

review of waterfront vision to develop the waterfront• consider new regu-

lations for detached secondary su i tes ,

such as coach houses, to develop affordable housing initiatives• continue to prepare

“ease the approvals process” materials to facilitate retention and expansion of busi-ness• complete servic-

ing impact studies to negotiate the techni-cal terms for sewer and water expansions to areas outside the current service area• evaluate potential

locations and deter-mine the most accept-able site and ame-nities for dog park enhancements

For 2013, some of the s t ra teg ic and corporate objectives identified include:• work with Economic

D e v e l o p m e n t Cowichan and the development commu-nity to attract green business opportuni-ties• complete construc-

t ion of a centra l -ized treatment facil-ity, ensure funding is available for the

design and construc-tion of a hydro genera-tion plant, and ensure funding is available for the design and con-struction of an ultra-violet water treatment plant to ensure a safe and sustainable water supply• c o m p l e t e c o n -

struction of Phase II (solids handling) of the new Waste Water Treatment Facility and ensure funding is available for the design and construc-tion of Phase III of the facility, continue to locate and eliminate inflow and infiltration throughout the sewer system• negotiate a treat-

ment plan with the Ministry of Health and update water supply and water quality data to develop a long-term water supply strategy

“In the years ahead, I believe that 2011 will be remem-bered as the year that our community really embraced the immense value of partnerships and collaboration.”

Ruth Malli, city manager

Quoted in the Chronicle

Town of Ladysmith’s 2011 Annual Report looks at past accomplishments and sets objectives for the future

Eighteen-year-old Emily Herle demon-strates that hard work and discipline do pay off. The Ladysmith teen was awarded a $28,000 scholarship to Trinity Western University, where she will start first-year studies this fall. “I was really, really

happy because I was really excited to go to Trinity Western but it

is a bit more expensive, so when I saw that I got that scholarship, it would help me to be able to go,” said Herle.

To qualify for this scholarship, Herle’s grade point average had to be above 90 per cent. She says that hours of studying helped her get amazing marks.“I do really well if I

read it and take notes and then read it some more,” she said. “Just meticulous studying, but it depends on the course. I just did an AP (advanced placement) literature course, and it took three to four hours a day.”

To keep her scholar-ship, Herle must main-tain a high average at university. But this homeschooler says she already has the neces-sary skills to excel at school. “I have been home

schooled all my life, so I’m used to having to work at my own pace and figure out things on my own,” she said.

“Throughout my school, I’ve had pretty good grades, but if I can continue at the rate I’ve been going, I should do OK. It’s a different envi-ronment at university, but I hope it will be a better environment.”

Tr i n i t y We s t e r n University, which is located in Langley, is a Christian-based uni-versity and is Canada’s

largest privately-fund-ed university. For Herle, the faith aspect of the school is just as impor-tant as the academics. “It is a Christian uni-

versity and that’s really important to me,” she said. “Especially since I’m going into human kinetics, which has to do with the human body and I want to learn about it from a Christian perspective of bodies created and

not just by chance by evolution.”

Herle will major in human kinetics, and she hopes to become a physiotherapist.“I like to study things

that I like. I really liked my biology course this year, which will be good for university,” she said. “I’m really excited for my human kinet-ics courses at Trinity Western because they look really neat.”

While leaving home might be hard, Herle is ready to embrace the world and her new adventure on the main-land. “I’m just really excit-

ed!” she said. “I think it will be challenging to fit all the work in that needs to be done and dealing with that and transitioning, and of course I’ll miss my fam-ily. I hope to visit on the weekends sometimes.”

Avastin (bevacizumab) and Lucentis (ranibizumab injection), two widely used drugs to treat age-related macular degeneration (AMD), improve vision when adminis-tered monthly or on an as needed basis, according to researchers supported by the National Institutes of Health. At two years, greater improvements in vision were seen with monthly administration for this common, debilitating eye disease. Of the two drugs, Avastin is most frequently used to treat AMD. However, prior to the

Comparison of AMD Treatments Trials (CATT), a two-year clinical trial, the two drugs had never been compared head-to-head. Second year results were published on April 30, 2012 in the journal Ophthal-mology.

AMD is the leading cause of vision loss and blindness in older Americans. In its advanced stages, the wet form of AMD spurs the growth of abnormal blood vessels, which leak fluid and blood into the macula and obscure vision. The macula is the central portion of the retina that allows us to look straight ahead and to perceive fine visual detail. Accumulation of fluid and blood damages the macula, causing loss of central vision, which can severely impede mobility and independence. Without treatment, most patients become unable to drive, read, recognize faces or perform tasks that require hand-eye coordination.

“Therapies for AMD require repeated treatment to prevent vision loss. Results of this clinical trial provide evidence that long-term treatment with either drug results in a robust and lasting improvement in vision. Patients and clinicians now have valuable information to base treatment decisions,” said Paul A. Sieving, M.D., Ph.D., director of the NEI.

Avastin and Lucentis block growth of abnormal blood vessels and leakage of fluid from the vessels. Lu-centis was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2006 for the treatment of AMD. Avastin is very similar to Lucentis but is not approved by the FDA for this purpose. Avastin is approved for other indications. Most clinicians use these drugs on an as-needed basis when there is evidence of active disease, such as fluid leakage. However, in the original clinical trials for AMD, Lucentis was administered monthly. It was unknown if as-needed dosing would produce the same long-term visual improvements achieved with monthly administration.

Thus, CATT was designed to compare Avastin and Lucentis with monthly and as-needed treatment schedules. At enrollment, patients were assigned to four treatment groups defined by drug (Avastin or Lucentis) and dosing regimen (monthly or as-needed). After year one, patients initially assigned to monthly treatment were randomly reassigned to monthly or as-needed treatment without changing their drug assignment.

At two years, visual acuity with monthly treatment was slightly better than with as-needed dosing, regard-less of the drug. As measured on an eye chart, monthly treatment resulted in a mean improvement of about half a line better than as-needed dosing. Switching to as-needed treatment after one year of monthly treatment yielded outcomes nearly equal to those obtained with as-needed treatment for the full two years. Changes in retinal anatomy differed by drug and frequency of treatment, but did not have an impact on vision through two years.

“Both drugs were highly effective regardless of the approach to dosing. There was slightly less vision gain with as-needed treatment. Patients seeking the small extra advantage of monthly treatment need to be mindful of the additional burden, risks, and costs of monthly injections. Since as-needed dosing required 10 fewer eye injections over the course of two years and yielded similar visual results, many patients may choose this option.” said Daniel F. Martin, M.D., study chair for CATT and chairman of the Cole Eye Institute at the Cleveland Clinic.

Adverse events indicate development or worsening of a medical condition. They may or may not be caus-ally associated with the clinical trial treatment, but they are always monitored and reported in any clinical trial. The median age of patients in CATT was over 80 years, and a high rate of hospitalizations would be anticipated as a result of chronic or acute medical conditions more common to older populations. Seri-ous adverse events (SAEs) occurred at a 40 percent rate for patients receiving Avastin and a 32 percent rate for patients receiving Lucentis. Although Avastin had a higher rate of SAEs, they were distributed across many different conditions, most of which were not associated with Avastin when evaluated in cancer clinical trials, in which the drug was administered at 500 times the dose used for AMD. Fewer doses were associated with a higher rate of SAEs, which is not a typical dose-response relationship. The number of deaths, heart attacks, and strokes were low and similar for both drugs during the study. CATT was not capable of determining whether there is an association between a particular adverse event and treatment. Additional data from other clinical trials may provide information on long-term safety profiles of these drugs when used to treat AMD. “The dramatic and lasting improvement in vision with these two drugs is extraordinary. At two-years, two-thirds of patients had driving vision (20/40 vision or better). With previous treatments, only 15 percent of patients retained similar visual acuity,” said Maureen Maguire, Ph.D., principal investigator, CATT Coordinating Center at the University of Pennsylvania.

Obon ceremony this Saturday in Chemainus

This weekend, the Vancouver Island Obon Cemetery Tour will come to Chemainus to honour the area’s Japanese-Canadians.

For more than 25 years, the British Columbia Jodo Shinshu Buddhist Temples Federation, which is based on the mainland, has sponsored an annual Vancouver Island Obon Cemetery Tour to pay respects to the many individuals of Japanese descent who helped build Vancouver Island’s communities and are buried in our historic cemeteries.

The Japanese-Canadians of the Vancouver Island and coastal B.C. were removed and interned in April 1942, as WWII spread to the Pacific, and few made their way back, so most of those buried here no lon-ger have descendants living nearby to honour their memories. Members of various Jodo Shinshu Buddhist Temples began organizing the Obon Tour in the mid-1980s as a “way of acknowledging the pioneers of our country [and] letting them know that they may be gone, but they are not forgotten.”“Obon” is the Japanese Buddhist

“Feast of Lanterns,” an annual festi-val originating in China that begins on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month and honours the spirits of

family ancestors. Everyone who can, travels home for family reunions, work bees are held to clean ances-tor’s graves and monuments, and their spirits are believed to return to visit their families’ household altars.

For the 2012 Obon Cemetery Tour, Rev. Grant Ikuta, the resident minister of the Steveston Buddhist Temple who was recently elected the first Canadian-born Socho or Bishop of the Jodo Shinshu Buddhist Temples of Canada, will be visiting five historic Vancouver Island cemeteries and one private residence this weekend.

T h e O b o n c e r e m o n y a n d Chemainus Cemetery Dedication Service in Chemainus will take place Saturday at 10 a.m. at Chemainus/St. Michael’s and All Angels Cemetery on Chemainus Road. The ceremony will include a special dedication service to acknowledge the new grave markers that the Chemainus Cemetery Society has placed on each plot in the old “Japanese Section,” an area of unmarked buri-als since the graves were vandalized during the Second World War.

Ikuta will lead participants in clean-ing up graves and monuments before and after each cemetery service.— Submitted

Last July, I was sitting at a table in the Old Town Bakery in Ladysmith. I

live in Ladysmith. My hus-band Min Goo is the min-ister at Ladysmith First United Church, and I have been working as the inter-im minister at Chemainus United Church since May. (Rev. Fran Darling is now on medical leave.)

I ordered a sandwich and then started reading a Bible commentary to get background information for my next sermon. I over-heard the two young women behind the counter talking to each other. One of them said, “Oh, now I can’t say I’m too young.” I turned back to my book and lost myself in its words, until I noticed that one of the young women was addressing me with some excitement.

“I see you’re reading The Storyteller’s Companion

to the Bible. It looks really interesting, but I don’t want to bother you.” she said.

“No, it’s no bother at all. This is a commentary book. I believe that we learn more about Jesus through stories. I’m a minister,” I replied.

Her eyes got bigger. “I have been always interested in things like this. Through stories? That’s awesome! By the way, can a woman become a priest or, how do you call, minister, like that?”

“Yes. For instance, my d e n o m i n a t i o n , U n i t e d Church, has really many excellent woman ordained ministers, and I am very proud of them!” I replied.

Then she asked a very interesting question. “So which colour? … I mean, is it the pink church over there or the brown church ...?”

“Which colour?? ... Oh!” I smiled, “It’s the one beside Hillside Medical Centre ... Do you go to church?”

I r e a l l y d i d n ’ t k n o w people called the town churches by the colours of the buildings instead of the denominations’ names — Catholic, Anglican, Baptist,

Pentecostal, United ... It was a surprise which made me smile and gave me a glimpse of how people in our secu-lar society think about the place of churches in the community.

“I used to,” she said. “My father was Catholic, and my mother was Protestant. When they got divorced, she became a Buddhist because she admired that lifestyle. So, what’s the difference b e t w e e n t h e C a t h o l i c Church and the United Church? What is the United Church?”

The young woman had a lot of questions, and I really liked her. I thought to myself, “The reason she’s asking these questions is not just an accident. Look at her eyes. She has a call-ing, I feel that, but it’s still a hidden treasure, waiting to be revealed.”

But instead of telling her my thoughts, I spoke to her of my own experience:

“We believe that all of us have authority and strength in ourselves to under-stand God’s Word, so that Jesus can meet each of us

through our own differ-ent life circumstances and life journeys. We don’t tell you what to believe; we journey together with the question of how to believe and how to commune with God and each other. This is the United Church, and this is the United Church’s strength.”

That conversation made me feel God’s presence and power between myself and the young woman, just as if we were in one of Jesus’ parables. I found it inter-esting that the commen-tary book The Storyteller’s Companion to the Bible inspired our conversation, because each of us shared a bit of our own stories with each other and made a con-nection. We looked each other in the eyes and had a real talk about the meaning of faith.

I felt, in that conversation, Jesus was reaching out to both of us, adding us to the tapestry of experiences and belief that are part of Christianity both across the globe and in the town of Ladysmith.

It may be hard to think about the start of another school year right now as the sun shines down on us and we make our plans for Ladysmith Days and all kinds of summer activities, but Delena Sword and Mimi Zuyderduyn have certainly been putting

a lot of thought into the start of school.And that thinking has led to worrying. They know that

many families in Ladysmith will not be able to afford school supplies for their children for the coming school year.

In previous years, there has been a local fundraiser for backpacks and supplies for schoolchildren whose names were obtained through the Ladysmith Food Bank. Sword and Zuyderduyn say they know the need will be greater this year, and they anticipate that fundraising will be more difficult.

Because of this, and because they would like to reach those in need who are not Food Bank clients, Sword and Zuyderudyn have decided that instead of running paral-lel programs, they will join with the Nanaimo-Ladysmith Schools Foundation, which has had a Stock the Locker program in place to help local children for several years.

“As they buy their goods in large quantities and at con-siderable discount, our monies will go further,” write Sword and Zuyderduyn.

Ladysmith schools have already received funds from Stock the Lockers, and Sword and Zuyderduyn hope to raise the profile of this program in Ladysmith and do a month-long fundraising campaign designated for school-children in North Oyster and Ladysmith. Their goal is to raise $4,000 so that every student in Ladysmith and North Oyster will start the school with the necessary supplies.

Ladysmith Mayor Rob Hutchins has declared August as Stock the Lockers Month in Ladysmith. Here’s your chance to help children start the school year on the right foot. Contact Sword (250-245-2190) or Zuyderduyn (250-416-0016) for more information.

Points to PonderRev. Ha Na ParkChemainus United Church

The B.C. Liberal govern-ment is taking its new hard-line approach to fed-

eral environmental hearings on the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline proposal in September.

Environment Minister Terry Lake has filed the B.C. govern-ment’s notice to cross-examine Enbridge, one of the world’s big-gest pipeline operators. Lake out-lined the “tough questions” B.C. representatives will ask about spill response capacity, tanker escort tugboats, pipe wall thickness and Enbridge’s sluggish response to a pipeline rupture in Michigan.

That’s all fine and to be expected after Premier Christy Clark’s high-profile confrontation with Alberta Premier Alison Redford going into the premiers’ meeting in Halifax. Clark’s demands for “world-lead-ing” safety and spill response, as well as meeting the constitutional obligation to consult and accom-modate aboriginal groups along

the route, are mostly a statement of the obvious. Her call for a “fair share” of proceeds from exported oil to reflect B.C.’s risk has been assaulted from all sides.

Pipeline opponents seized on Clark’s suggestion that a major oil spill might be tolerable if there was enough money in it for B.C. NDP leader Adrian Dix picked up the theme as he conducted his own belated tour of the proposed route to reiterate his opposition.

There had been earlier hints from Alberta that B.C. might need further rewards for the risk. But when Clark made the “fair share” demand public, Redford was moved to channel Margaret Thatcher, declaring: “The Premier of Alberta is not going to blink on royalties.” The lady’s not for blinking, but neither is B.C.’s Iron Snowbird, as Preston Manning dubbed Clark this spring.

All this political theatre doesn’t amount to much. I’ll stand by my January prediction that the Enbridge proposal is unlikely to proceed, mainly due to the tangled

state of aboriginal claims. Wealthy U.S. foundations that view the B.C. North Coast as their 500-year eco-experiment will be happy to help fund a decade of legal challenges, while continuing the media-spin-ning and protest support they are doing now.

Even if some way can be found to levy a B.C. tax on revenues from the Northern Gateway pipe-line, it’s no solution. For one thing, it would confer an advantage to the Trans-Mountain pipeline that has been shipping Alberta oil to Burnaby and the U.S. for more than 60 years.

The competing expansion pro-posal by Trans-Mountain’s cur-rent owner, Kinder Morgan, shows the inconsistency of opposition to pipelines. Does anyone really believe that a new pipeline built to the highest standards ever would be too dangerous, while a 60-year-old pipeline is acceptable?

Protesters have an easy target in Kinder Morgan. With a tenfold increase to 25 tankers a month proposed to sail under the Lions

Gate bridge, a heavy oil spill from Second Narrows to Stanley Park would be catastrophic to Vancouver’s environment and economy. Tankers have made that trip safely for nearly 100 years, but the congested modern shipping lane offers more threat of collision, and clearing Burrard Inlet for near-daily tanker transits would disrupt the rest of B.C.’s shipping trade. An Angus Reid poll last week showed as many as half of respondents remain open-minded about the costs and ben-efits of new oil pipelines across B.C. Unlike B.C. politicians, they seem interested in learning more before making up their minds.

Dix and the NDP ran to the front of the anti-pipeline parade early, as they did with the carbon tax and other issues. Clark began the Northern Gateway discussion with a principled position to wait for the result of the federal review, but that’s apparently out the win-dow with an election looming.

Pipeline posturing does not helpBC Views

You might not be a c o n s t i t u e n t o f Nanaimo-Cowichan anymore.

The British Columbia Electoral Boundaries C o m m i s s i o n i s redrawing the bound-ary lines to better serve the population of Vancouver Island. So you might want to double check whose name is on the bal-lot in the next fed-eral election because it might not be Jean Crowder. “A new seat was added , and when

you add a new seat, it has an effect on all the other bound-a r i e s , ” e x p l a i n e d Dr. Peter Meekison, a m e m b e r o f t h e B r i t i s h C o l u m b i a Electoral Boundaries Commission. “The b o u n d a r y h a s t o be changed in part because the popula-t ion of Vancouver Island has grown and we have to be looking at where the popula-tion grows.”

The federal govern-ment has given the Island another seat in Parliament in order to better represent the growing popula-tion. But the proposed b o u n d a r y c h a n g e cuts off a section of Ladysmith. “We have what we

ca l l the e lectora l quotient … each con-stituency should be about 104,000,” said Meekison. “You try, where possible, to keep existing bound-

aries and then you say ‘well fine, we have to modify them to adjust them to meet the new seat . ’ What kinds of things you might look at for example is the Trans-Canada Highway being the divider or a height of land or a river or something like that.”

However, the new changes have some people worried that it will divide the close-knit community of Ladysmith. “People have been pretty consistently concerned about the division of communi-ties … in smaller com-munities, it is much more problematic and I think it’s important to pay attention to those natural bound-a r i e s , ” s a i d J e a n Crowder, Member of Par l iament for Nanaimo-Cowichan since 2004.

Crowder says this change is a welcome

one, even if the com-mission has some more work to do.“I think it is a neces-sary change because my riding is bigger than many of the ridings around B.C. My riding did need some redistribution, but I just don’t think they [the Boundaries Commission] got it quite right,” she said.

Crowder won’t say which riding she’ll run in for the next election. “I’m going to wait until [I see] what the final boundary chang-es look like because it could change substan-tially,” she explained.

“Until the dust settles, I’ll just wait. They should have that infor-mation by September 2013.”

The current bound-ary change is just a proposal, and it has not been final-ized. Before the final boundaries are drawn,

the public and parlia-mentarians will weigh in and provide feed-back. “If people can’t come to the hearings, they should send letters to the commission. We want to hear from the public because in the final analysis, they are the ones that are affected,” said Meekinson. “When we are finished with the proposal, we then submit a report to the Speaker of the House of Commons, and then parliamentarians can comment on this and make suggestions for further changes.”A public hearing will

take place Oct. 16 in Nanaimo at the Coast Bastion Inn. If you want to make a presen-tation about your con-cerns, you are asked to submit your name and contact informa-tion to the Boundary Commission by Aug. 30.

ChronicleChronicleA&EA&EAccordion Days honours Everitt

This weekend, Chemainus will celebrate the music of the accordi-on and honour an accordion-loving woman who dedicated her time and energy to culture in Chemainus dur-ing Accordion Days.

Hosted by the Chemainus Valley Cultural Arts Society (CVCAS), Accordion Days this Friday and Saturday is dedicated to musical organizer and multi-instrumentalist Hilary Everitt, who passed away last November and whose birthday would have been Sat., Aug. 11.

Wes Everitt, past chair of the CVCAS, says his late wife, who was the emcee and organizer of past accordion festivals for nine years and one of the festival’s founders, will be honoured in the Accordion Days program.

Chemainus hosted an accordion festival for many years, but they ran out of volunteers, and the festival eventually moved to Victoria. That festival has evolved into Accordion Days, explained Everitt.“Everybody who came here liked

Chemainus so much that they came back for Accordion Days,” he said.Accordion Days starts Friday with

performances by the Gypsy Belles from Victoria. The Gypsy Belles will be playing in Old Town from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m., sharing their music at the Book Nook, the Twisted Sisters Tea Room and at Top Hat Antiques.

On Saturday, performers will take the stage at the Waterwheel Park bandshell from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is by donation.

Featured bands and performers include the Acchords, an acoustic quartet from the mainland that lines up the performers for Accordion Days; button accordion player Eric Oscar from Crofton; Mary Ross from the Victoria Accordion Club; Bruce Bakker and Friends from the main-land and Casey Van Velzen from Nanaimo.

The action will move to the Legion Hall Saturday at 5 p.m. for a steak or chicken barbecue dinner and enter-tainment by the popular Flashback Freddy, who will play hits from the 1950s and 1960s.

On any given day a t the Ladysmi th Waterfront Art Gallery, you wil l f ind Gail Ralphs either in her studio space working diligently on her latest piece, managing the gift shop in the gallery, assisting on the board of directors, teaching classes or doing just about anything to support the non-profit organization.

Workhorse extraor-dinaire Ralph is one of the key people that keeps things moving in a positive direction at the Ladysmith Arts Council (LAC) — and she does it all with a smile and a joke. She is vital to keeping things on track and rallying the troops when things need to get done.“I’ve always been cre-

ative and interested in painting since I was a child, but I really got into the arts world about six years ago,” Ralphs explains.

It was after retire-ment that she took an art class in Victoria and was inspired to begin a self-directed path of expressing the visions within her.

Her work is informed by the world of her ancestry, the Celts, the old world, history and nature.

Her favourite period is the Pre-Raphaelite period that is known for intense colour, abundant detail and complex, rich compo-sitions. Her favourite artist is the renowned 1800s painter John Wa t e r h o u s e , w h o combines mythology, poetry and mystique into works that are soulfully touching.

Ralphs’s paintings also transport you back in time to a world where fairies, knights,

damsels, angels, mer-maids and other magi-cal creatures lived in the local lore.

Ralphs is a prolific

artist, and entering her studio brings you to a magical realm of fascination and delight.

The use of vibrant colour conveys the a l i v e n e s s o f h e r detailed work. She brings her images to life using a multitude of mediums — water-colour, encaustic wax, acrylic, oil and pastel.

Ralphs has an affin-ity with crows and ravens, and like those birds, she loves “shiny things” and often incorporates such found objects into her work. Thus, her art is often three-dimen-sional.

Like the crow trick-ster, Ralphs has a way of teasing the viewer with her work, making one wonder if there is perhaps a little magic invoked with each piece she produces.

Just a peek into her studio space and one sees the corners of the grimmest mouth turn up in no time. It is with this joy that Ralphs offers her

work to the commu-nity.

Her art is moderately priced and affordable and can be purchased a t the Ladysmi th Waterfront Art Gallery. R a l p h s e x h i b i t s monthly at the LAC shows as well.

In addition, her work will be showcased with other LAC art-ist at the upcoming Arts on the Avenue in Ladysmith on Aug. 26.

Once there, please check out the rest of the local art available and enjoy the food and entertainment as well.

You’ll find a breadth of artistic sensibilities being offered up for your pleasure — pot-tery, jewelry, glass-ware, photography, carvings, metal works, fabric arts and much more.

Meet the artists and your neighbours and enjoy a day on the town!

The Ramsay Lampman Rhodes Mount Brenton Ladies Amateur Golf Tournament promises a swing-ing time and girls on the greens.

Now in its 11th year, the Aug. 18-19 tournament is open to all ages and levels of players, although it is restricted to amateurs only. Hole-in-one prizes are $10,000 in cash and a golf cart, and there will also be draw prizes and prizes for the gross and net scores, including TVs and golf course passes. Tee off is 1 p.m. on Aug. 18.“It’s for ladies who love to golf and it’s a two-day tournament, and they get to meet old friends and new friends,” said Dar Michell, tourna-ment committee chair. “It brings business to Chemainus and sur-rounding areas.”

There are currently about 40 golf-ers from all over the Island regis-tered, but there is room for about 60 more.“We’re hoping to get the numbers up this year,” Michell said.

The tournament entry fee is $125 and includes KPs and Long Drive. The fee also includes din-

ner Saturday evening, a continen-tal breakfast Sunday morning and lunch Sunday.

Registration closes Aug. 13. For more information, contact

Dar at 250-245-0855 or visit www.mountbrentongolf.com.

Chronicle Sports

Ladysmith’s Haleigh Lloyd is home for the summer from Alaska, where she just spent a stellar season breaking hurdling records.


Stellar season for LloydAfter a successful season of hurdling,

Ladysmith’s Haleigh Lloyd is kicking up her heels in her hometown.

The track star, a former CVACs athlete, is home from her second year in the nurs-ing program at the University of Alaska at Anchorage and taking a much-needed break from the school’s Seawolf Athletics team.“I wanted to take the summer off because I never have,” she said. “I could have gone to the Olympic trials if I want-ed to, but it’s been a nice break and I’m glad I did it.”

Lloyd, a 2010 Ladysmith Secondary

School grad, broke her own university record for the 100- and 400-metre hurdles. Her 4x100 relay team also broke a record.

Lloyd set a Great Northwest Athletic Conference record in the 400 hurdles in 59.98 seconds in Salem, Ore., and then bettered it in Azusa, Calif., to 59.62.At the GNAC conference meet, Lloyd’s

focus was on the 100 hurdles, and she won the conference title with a huge per-sonal best time of 14.23.At the NCAA Div. 2 championships in

Pueblo, Colo., Lloyd earned All-American honours in the 400 hurdles final, finishing seventh in 59.91.“That’s the fastest I’ve ever gotten my

time down to, and it has definitely been the hardest I’ve ever trained,” Lloyd said.

“It was the best season I’ve ever had … I worked hard, and my times came down.”

Lloyd has been running track since Grade 5 and got interested in hurdles in high school.“To me, it’s like any other race that any-

one else does; it’s natural for me [now],” she said. “When I run races without hur-dles, it feels weird.”

While she has national aspirations for next year’s season, Lloyd is unsure of whether she will make the leap toward Olympic pursuits.“I’ll hit that hurdle when it comes,” she

said. “For now, I’m just going to focus on school.”

Ladysmith Golf Club hosts kids tournament

Ladies sought to play at Mount Brenton

There is still a limited time to register for the Ladysmith Golf Club’s Kids Open Golf Tournament, being held Aug. 11 at 10 a.m.

Organizers are hoping to match or exceed last year’s registration of 22 players. With prizes for everyone and a barbecue after the game, the tour-nament promises a good time for all.“It’s a fun day,” said LGC president Sylvia Smith.

“It’s a good outing, and we encourage parental involvement.”

The tournament, which is being co-sponsored by the Chronicle, is open to kids aged six to 14 of all playing abilities. “It’s an opportunity for young golfers to show their

stuff,” said Rob Johnson. “Who’s Ladysmith’s best junior golfer?”

Johnson said the course is primed and ready to go.“Everything’s looking good; the course is in good

shape and we’ve got a bunch of adults help super-vise,” he said.

At press time, there were approximately nine golf-ers entered in the tournament.

To register or find out more information, call 250-245-7313. There is a fee of $5; however, golfing equipment will be provided.

A year has passed.....it feels like yesterday!A huge part of life has changed forever since you’ve been gone

everyday a struggle, life is so empty without your presence. Not hearing your voice, your laughter or seeing your smile, I wish I could turn back time... just to hug you a while! xoxoI shine down on on you from Heaven. Can you feel the love I’ve shown? I am always walking with you. You will never be alone. I listen when you speak to me. I hear every word you say. And we are always together….today and every day.

I visit you in your sleep you’ve seen me in your dreams. Do you feel the love I’m sending you? Can you hear me when I speak? I speak to you through songs. I hug you with the wind. I am walking right beside you, as your Mother, as your friend.

You are loved and missed immensely every day for your kindest soul, loving ways and biggest heart, my Mother…my best friend!

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. Mom, you are loved in our hearts forever!

WILLIAMS, CAROL April 8, 1965 - July 30, 2012

She died in her sleep Monday, July 30th of yet unknown cause.Carol was a wonderful and caring nurse who loved traveling and exploring the great outdoors. Living with diabetes from early childhood made her a true fighter and a person who never let it stop her from enjoying life to the fullest.Carol is survived by her Dad, John Williams; life-partner Syd Hayden; sisters and brothers Grace Frost (Dieter), Bill Williams (Sheila), Beth Robillard, Howard Williams; and numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her mother Isabel Williams in April 2010.Carol’s quick wit and sense of humour will be missed by all.
