Craig SpenceEditor, thE chroniclE

When we vote Oct. 19 in Canada’s 42nd federal election, we are choosing a rep-resentative from the Nanaimo-Lady-smith riding to send to Ottawa.Although the representative we

choose will belong to one of Canada’s four major political parties with can-didates running here, we’re not vot-ing just for parties – we’re voting for people and ideas. It’s important to remember that, and as a community newspaper, the Ladysmith-Chemainus Chronicle will be covering this election from that angle.

We have become so accustomed to re-

ferring to our representatives as Conser-vatives, Greens, Liberals and New Dem-ocrats – and so determined are most parties to centralize their messages and douse independent commentary from lo-cal, regional or even provincial perspec-tives – that it sometimes seems we might as well be sending parrots of a different feather to Parliament as thinking beings, who can represent our views.

The Chronicle’s mission, and we choose to accept it, is to get to know what your candidates in this election think about issues of concern to you, and what they will do to see those is-sues addressed by your federal govern-ment. The national media can zoom in on what has become a cult of leadership

at the national level; we want to see what leadership looks like right here.

Is that naïve? Sometimes naivety har-nessed to determination becomes hope, and there is much to hope for in terms of an improved democracy in Canada. Sending representatives to Ottawa so they can be ‘whipped’ into voting the party line in a combative, first past the post parliamentary and electoral system that doesn’t truly reflect the wishes of Canadians is a reality we can hope to see improved.

We want to hear your candidates’ views on electoral and parliamentary reform.

Continuing with business as usual when every scientific indicator strongly suggests that will lead to global disaster

calls for real leadership. We want repre-sentatives who will fight tooth and nail in the House of Commons and within their own caucuses for a serious reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in Canada. We are a nation that should be showing lead-ership when it comes to climate change.

We want to hear your candidates’ views on global warming, and believe a major-ity of voters in Nanaimo-Ladysmith want to hear those views, too.

We’ve selected 10 issues we want to see your candidates address between now and Oct. 13 – our last edition before the Oct. 19 election: climate change; elector-al and parliamentary reform; the econo-my; health care; poverty & homelessness;

We’ve got 10 issues to get to know these candidatesMark MacDonald, Conservative Sheila Malcolmson, NDP Paul Manly, Green Tim Tessier, Liberal

NewsBriefs ‘Inventor’ sets up aboard Viki Lyne II

Craig Spencethe chronicle

Victor Voigt, an ‘inventor’, who claims to be able to heal cancer ‘within 10 days’ is setting up on the Viki Lyne II and inviting clients to come aboard for treatments.

Voigt, who offers free treatments to people with an instrument he has invented called the Magic Magee Healing Tool, told the Chronicle on Thursday that he has cleaned out one bathroom aboard the Viki Lyne II and intends to make more improvements.

He said the ‘manager’ of the area known as Dogpatch, adjacent to the Ladysmith Community Marina, moved his tug boat next to the Viki Lyne into a spot that was occupied by a vessel that burned and sank in the early morning hours of July 18, just a day before a protest against the mooring of the Viki Lyne II in Ladysmith Harbour.

Since being tied up to the Viki Lyne II, Voigt has deemed the der-elict trawler a safe, suitable place to offer treatments. In an inter-view he said the vessel could also be cleaned up and used as ‘low in-come apartments.’

Informed that a Canadian Coast Guard commissioned survey of the Viki Lyne II was conducted in 2012, and that it indicated the hull of the 54 year-old trawler is virtu-ally rusted through, Voigt said, “It isn’t yet.”

The survey, conducted by McAlli-star Marine Survey & Design, said they could not determine the “low-est likely hull thickness,” but went on to say, “We can, however, as-sume the hull is very close to being penetrated by corrosion.“In fact, the hull may be penetrat-

ed below the water line but cov-ered with scale and marine growth which is preventing the in flooding of the hull.”A call to the Canadian Coast

Guard to ask about the safety of having people aboard the Viki Lyne has not yet been responded to.

But McAllistar Marine & Design was so concerned, they issued the following warning: “All readers of this document are cautioned that scraping of the external hull be-low the waterline may cause the vessel to flood.”

Informed of that caution, Voigt said, “If that thing started to go down, it would take me an hour to clean out my stuff and untie my boat from the Viki Lyne. In the meantime, they don’t have the money to move it, or do the proper things to be done. All I’m saying is for now – for the next ten years – it can be used as a healing centre.”As well as safety concerns, the

Ladysmith Maritime Society, the Town of Ladysmith and the Stz’uminus First Nation have all expressed serious concerns about the environmental hazard posed by the Viki Lyne. Last fall 20,000 litres of oil and solvents were re-moved from the boat by the Coast Guard, but 13,000 litres remain – enough to do serious harm to the recreation, tourism and shell fish industries centered in Ladysmith Harbour.“No-one should be on that ves-sel,” said Rod Smith, managing di-

rector of the Ladysmith Maritime Society, which runs the Ladysmith Community Marina, adjacent to the Dogpatch area where the Viki Lyne II is moored.“Any kind of activity on that boat increases the likelihood that it will sink.”

He also warned that fumes from unknown solvents and chemicals aboard the Viki Lyne could be hazardous, particularly if they are breathed in confined spaces.

They could also be flammable.Smith has fired off an urgent let-

ter to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans expressing his con-cerns.

In another development, in a letter written to the Chronicle – see Viki Lyne II floats high, page 6 in today’s paper – Bryan Liv-ingstone claims the Viki Lyne II is not at risk of sinking, and that she was placed in Ladysmith Harbour “by Transport Canada and the Coast Guard” to “miti-gate its risk and regularly moni-tor the vessel.”

The Chronicle has not been able to confirm that statement with the Coast Guard or Trans-port Canada.

Voigt isn’t waiting for anyone to give him the go ahead. “I’m al-ready set up. I’ve got people lined up,” he said. “Right now, I’m set up. If you’ve got pain, come on out, I’ll give you a treatment.”

The Chronicle has asked the Ca-nadian Coast Guard:• What type of security measures

are in place with regard to the Viki Lyne II?• Does the Coast Guard or Min-

istry of Transportation have con-cerns about an individual occu-pying the vessel and using it for delivery of a public service?• Did the Coast Guard, or the Min-

istry of Transportation either tow the Viki Lyne II or have her towed into Ladysmith Harbour? And what monitoring is in place with regard to the Viki Lyne II?• Who is the current owner of the

Viki Lyne II?• What is the status of any deci-

sion with regards to removing, or otherwise remediating the envi-ronmental risks posed by the Viki Lyne II?• Does the Coast Guard actually

consider the Viki Lyne II to be a high risk for sinking and polluting Ladysmith Harbour?

Concerns raised that he’s putting himself, others and harbour at risk

To purchase tickets stop by the CGC office at 360 Duncan Street in Duncan. For more information con-tact Alyssa at 250-748-8506, email [email protected], or visit cowichangreencommu-nity.org

Protestors converged in a ‘flotilla’ at the Viki Lyne II July 19 demanding she be removed from Ladysmith Harbour.

Concerns high over missing Penelakut teenThe Vancouver Island Integrated

Major Crime Unit has joined the investigation into the mysterious disappearance of 18 year-old Delo-res (Deedee) Brown.

Ladysmith RCMP, Island District investigators, community mem-bers and rescue teams have been searching for Brown since she was reported missing on July 29.

Brown lives on Penelakut Island and was travelling to her grand-mother’s house in Chemainus but never arrived for the visit. The teen has never gone missing be-fore and her family is very worried.“This is very out of character for

Miss Brown, who has left behind her phone,” said Ladysmith RCMP Cpl. Rick Fraser.

Brown is described as a First Nations woman, 5’6” tall, approxi-mately 120 pounds. She was last seen walking on Penelakut Island wearing blue jeans, a hoodie, and carrying a backpack.A public plea for help locating

Brown was issued July 30.“As that time gets longer, of

course our concern levels rise for the involvement of foul play,” Is-land District RCMP spokesman Cpl. Darren Logan was quoted in the Times Colonist Aug. 8.

Police, community members and search and rescue teams have searched the area.

It is not known if Brown left Penelakut Island. Said Logan, “It’s one of those questions that we’re still trying to figure out, so our appeal for information goes be-yond Penelakut because there’s a chance she may have come to the main body of Vancouver Island.”

Police ask anyone who may have seen Brown since July 27 or has information on her whereabouts to contact the Ladysmith RCMP at 250-245-2215 or Crime stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.Delores Brown, 18, of Penelakut Island

How Do You Like It?

Coach Shawn FreerSpecial to the chronicle

A perfect game for Mason Lonsberry lead the way to a golden finish for the Ladysmith 49ers at the Peewee U13A B.C. Baseball Provincials in Surrey July 30-Aug 3.

The tournament got un-derway with a bang. In the Thursday skills competition the 49ers previewed things to come, winning the around the horn competition, led by Luke Borgerson, Caleb Bat-tye, Dawson Cavey and Ryan Bastian.

Reese Melnick capped the night off, tying the homerun derby with five homeruns in ten hits.

The tournament started Fri-day morning with Ladysmith up against the Newton Jays. Again the 49ers showed they were in top form, winning their opener 9-2, with James Joyce named player of the game.

Friday afternoon saw the 49ers up against the the team that defeated them two years ago in the Mosquito AA Pro-vincial final, the Burnaby Mi-nor Braves. The 49ers left no doubt the balance of power had shifted, winning 11-3,

led by a homerun off the bat of Reece Melnick and fine pitching by Mason Lonsberry, which netted him recognition as player of the game.

Saturday at high-noon, the 49ers squared off against Port Coquitlam, who were also at two wins and no losses. The 49ers battled to a 12-9 win, with homeruns from Aidan Kirkham and James Joyce. Aidan Kirkham was named player of the game.

Sunday morning the 49ers faced the host Surrey Griz-zlies, winning by a mercy 13-3. Reece Melnick hit his second homerun of the tournament, Dawson Cavey was named player of the game.

Monday morning the playoff semi-finals saw the 49ers up against Kamloops. The 49ers won 9-0, led by Lonsberry, who pitched a perfect game: seven full innings, 21 players faced, 21 players sent back to their dugout without reaching first base.

Lonsberry, with support from his team, recorded eight strike outs, ten groundouts, and three flyouts. The last out of the game was recorded by right fielder Caleb Battye, who made a superman-like diving catch to preserve the

perfect game and secure the win.

Lonsberry was presented with the player of the game recognition, which he proudly handed over to Battye.

The final was a re-match from two years ago with the Burna-by Minor Braves. It was a low scoring affair, with solid pitch-ing from both sides. James Joyce pitched his way into the seventh inning allowing only two runs with six strikeouts.

Heading into the top of the seventh, the game was tied 2-2. First at bat, the 49ers scored three runs. Joyce struck out the first batter then, due to the pitch count, the ball was turned over to Reece Melnick He allowed one run on a cou-ple of hits before he settled in and struck out the last two batters to secure the champi-onship.

Melnick was named player of the game.

The Ladysmith 49ers would like to thank the community for its support, helping the team create a life long memo-ry, with special thanks to: The 49th Parallel Grocery, Save on Foods, Rexall, Pharmasave, Madill, Wordly Gourmet, Nicholson Trucking, and Ish-erwood Body and Fender.

Children draw. They al-ways have, whether it is with sticks in the mud, charcoal lumps on a rock or smelly markers on com-puter paper. Even the dad who grumbles “I can’t even do stick figures” was once a child who explored with crayons… at least a little bit. Scribbles are a child’s first form of the written word – ask a preschooler to tell you about their drawing and you might hear a complex story involving bears, the wind, a house – something imagina-tive.

KidZArtBeat, a children’s festival of the arts, is here to bring out that creative attitude in every child. The Chemainus Crofton Com-munity Schools Associa-tion has long had a focus on the fine arts as one of its programs, and this sum-mer it teamed up with the Chemainus Valley Society for Cultural Arts, and with the Polka Dot Trail Artists, to morph the previous Art Beat into something new, colourful, and creative for kids.

Over twenty-five artists, teachers, volunteers, and creative people will gather

from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sat-urday, Aug. 15, for the artsi-est children’s festival imag-inable. Multiple interactive art stations will be available in and around Water Wheel Park in Chemainus.

There is something for everyone from toddlers to teens – even a very begin-ning Colourful Crawlers sec-tion for babies. Chemainus Theatre Festival is running an hour long workshop for children aged 8-11 years. The first five participants to register will receive free tickets for James and the Giant Peach, showing at the Chemainus Theatre. Call the CCSA at 250-246-3588 to register or ask for informa-tion.

Stops on the KitZArtBeat circuit include: Inspiration Station, Paintercise, Craft-A-Costume, Instrument Making, Pottery, Face Paint-ing, Balloon Twisting, Tap with Tim, Mural Painting, Puppetry, Land Art, Jew-ellery... and there will be more to discover at the fes-tival. Sign in at the welcome table when you arrive and your child will be eligible in the draw for a Miss Purrsia the Piñata made by Middle

Ground Studios. At 5 p.m. the ‘Pied Piper’

will lead the children in a parade finale, showing off all the glorious items made or painted throughout the day. Families are invited from 6 to 7 p.m. to gather at the bandshell in Water-wheel Park to enjoy the hi-larious antics of Major Con-rad Flapps.

The festival is free, but people will be invited to donate at the stations. Pack a picnic or buy your

own food from local busi-nesses.

KidZArtBeat needs volun-teers and materials, includ-ing: Latex paint, buttons with shanks, one wall paper hook, and 12 old cookie sheets. Organizers are also calling for adults to set up tables, help the artists with bucket brigades, man the welcome table and more. Artists, if you’d like to par-ticipate, call or email the CCSA at 250-246-3588 or [email protected].

The Ladysmith-Chemainus Chronicle is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry. The council considers complaints from the public about the conduct of member newspapers. Directors oversee the mediation of complaints, with input from both the newspaper and the complaint holder. If talking with the editor or publisher does not resolve your complaint about coverage or story treatment, you may contact the B.C. Press Council. Your written concern, with documentation, should be sent to B.C. Press Council, PO Box 1356, Ladysmith, B.C. V9G 1A9. For information phone 1-888-687-2213 or go to www.bcpresscouncil.org.

The Ladysmith-Chemainus Chron-icle has invited candidates from the four main parties running in the Na-naimo-Ladysmith riding in the Oct. 19 Federal Election – Conservative, Green, Liberal, and NDP – to partici-pate in weekly coverage giving them an opportunity to:

• Respond to issues of interest to readers and voters.

• Submit two ‘columns’ of up to 500 words presenting their main issues.

Issues the Chronicle has or will be asking the candidates to respond to are: Climate change • The economy • Electoral and parliamentary reform • Health care • Poverty & homelessness • International aid • Protection of our coasts • A fair tax share for municipal and regional governments • Legaliza-tion of marijuana • Quality of life for Canada’s aging population.

Candidates will be provided a sum-mary of each issue at least 10 days prior to their responses appearing in the newspaper. The issue summary will also be posted to Ladysmith/Chemainus Chronicle on Facebook.com and visitors to the site will be in-vited to comment.

If a candidate or candidates do not respond to an issue, and space remains on an election page, the Chronicle may print comments that have appeared on its Facebook page or been sent direct-ly to [email protected], or may further elaborate on the issue from other sources in an article.

Candidates’ two election columns must be submitted to the Chronicle by Aug. 16 (they were notified of this time-line on Aug. 5). Our purpose is to engage the candidates in discussions centered around issues that matter to you, while allowing them opportunities to focus the conversation on their own platform issues. We’re hoping for a presentation of ideas, not reactive commentary.

The columns will appear in the chronicle starting Aug. 18, and will run sequentially based on the date of submission (i.e. the first candidate to submit will be given spots 1 & 5; sec-ond submitter 2 & 6... and so on).

lettersViki Lyne II ‘floats high in the water’Editor:

RE: Protestors call for removal of Viki Lyne II, and Boat burns to the waterline, Ladysmith-Chemainus Chronicle, July 21, Pages 1 and 3.

Regarding the Viki Lyne II and the adjacent forty foot boat that ‘burned to the waterline’ 36 hours before a well advertised public protest, speculation presented as fact can by itself be threatening and in this situation may have incited arson.

What might be an environmental threat speaks more to emotional-ism than to rationality and ignites vigilantism? Those suggesting governments arbitrarily seize prop-erty, without due process, would do well to explore world history: totalitarianism.

My understanding is that the marine survey indicating Viki Lyne II as an ‘imminent’ risk to sink is three years old. Aware of this ves-sel since 1996, I can verify, as does the vessel’s waterline, that it floats higher in the water than ever.

There are greater environmen-tal threats. A study conducted in the 1980s determined that North America, with 10 per cent of the

world’s population, was con-suming 80 per cent of the earth’s resources. It might better serve the world to address our society’s over-consumption and leave the matter of derelict vessels to the experts?

Transport Canada and the Coast Guard placed the Viki Lyne II in Ladysmith to mitigate its threat and they regularly monitor the vessel.

Wrong Greasy Pole lesson learnedEditor:

I hope (Ladysmith Celebration Committee President) Berry Frech and (Ladysmith Councillor) Steve Arnett are proud of the way they ended the Ladysmith Days ‘Greasy Pole’ contest at Transfer Beach on Saturday, Aug. 1.

The prizes in the event were a single $100 bill and several $50 bills, which were attached to the pole – the hundred at the very top, the 50s midway.

When all the 50s were gone and just the hundred remained, Coun. Arnett said the prize should be moved down the pole, because all the remaining entrants were 12 year-olds.

A young girl, who was climbing the pole, to reach the repositioned prize, was very determined and doing quite well. Everyone was cheering her on, as she rested for a minute, getting ready to continue.

At that point Coun. Arnett stepped in, asking Berry Frech to give the girl some help by moving her up the pole about four inches; then a couple of inches more. Berry Frech even wiped some grease off the pole, helping the girl reach the $100 bill – which I’m sure she would have done on her own.

Coun. Arnett then announced all the money was gone and the contest was over, leaving many young people who had registered and wanted to try the Greasy Pole astounded.

What you taught our youth that Saturday is: It’s okay to cheat your way to big bucks and to ignore the public – regardless of age – to reach your goals. I’m sure many of those who witnessed this act will remember next civic election.

I would also like to know why the pole was not disassembled after the event, if everyone is so concerned about liability? The tarp and foam were removed, but the pole was still up during the fireworks. Who was responsible for that?

Tim TessierLiberal

With local experts I will establish regional targets to fight climate change and create clean jobs and investment in Nanaimo-Ladysmith.

As PM, Mr. Trudeau will invite all Premiers to join him at the 2015 UN Climate Change Conference. Follow-ing, a First Ministers meeting will be held to establish national emis-sions-reduction targets that must recognize the economic cost and catastrophic impact that a greater-than two-degree increase in aver-age global temperatures would have.

As part of the com-prehensive emissions reduction agreement with provinces and ter-ritories, we will provide targeted federal funding to help them achieve these goals.

Our plan would also invest significantly in clean technologies, and provide direction and incentives for creating clean jobs and invest-ment.

Our plan would estab-lish the Canada Green Investment Bond to support renewable en-ergy projects. The focus of investment will be reducing the costs for commercially viable projects and innovation.

We will ensure that the federal government in-creases its use of clean technologies in energy, buildings, and procure-ment, we will help cre-ate domestic demand for clean technology firms, support Cana-dian entrepreneurs, and lead by example.

We will improve ener-gy efficiency standards for consumer and com-mercial products to ensure they reflect the most up-to-date tech-

nology. We will use fi-nancing instruments to stimulate retrofits and make improvements to the energy efficiency of Canada’s industrial, commercial, and resi-dential buildings.

Finally, we will pro-vide more support for our clean technology companies to success-fully export their prod-ucts by training trade officials and leading trade missions focused on clean technology.

Paul ManlyGreen

We are already expe-riencing the effects of climate change in our island communities. The Green party takes this issue very seriously and has a clear plan to protect the future of our children and grandchil-dren.

First, we will intro-duce a system of carbon pricing called “carbon fee and dividend”, that applies a fee to all fos-

sil fuel producers. This will be redistributed as a dividend to every Ca-nadian, cutting carbon emissions that lead to climate change, and putting money directly in your pocket while taking it away from the polluters.

Phasing out the use of coal is essential to stop runaway climate change, but B.C. is un-der pressure to increase the number of coal anchorages and termi-nals because American cities are refusing to export coal from their own ports.

Five such anchor-ages are now being pro-posed off the shores of Gabriola Island. As your Green MP I will fight against this expansion.

The Green Party is the only party opposed to any further develop-ment of pipelines for exporting raw bitumen from the Alberta tar sands, including the Energy East and Kinder Morgan projects.

We would remove the billions in subsidies to fossil fuel industries and use that money for moving our economy to one based on renew-able energy, and the

Candidates’ responses to the first issue – cli-mate change – are presented in this edition of the Chronicle. You will find details about our election coverage strategy on page 6, our editorial page.

Get involved. Let us know what you think the big issues are. Go to our Facebook page and comment on the issues as they are posted there

Whatever you do, get to know the candidates. Get to know all of them over the coming ten weeks. Not just as New Democrat, Liberal, Green and Conservative representatives, but as indi-viduals who will speak forcefully on your behalf in the House of Commons and inside their party caucuses.

FEDERAL ELECTION 2015XClimate Change: Where do ourIssue Summary

Climate change – No longer a predic-tion, climate change is occurring right now. Hotter summers, greater extremes of weather, melting glaciers and polar ice caps, rising sea levels and tempera-tures, acidification of the world’s oceans. These effects have all been documented.

It’s projected that the world’s popula-tion will increase from 7.3 billion to 11.2 billion between now and 2100, much of that growth occurring in developing na-tions that want to attain a standard of living similar to that enjoyed by citi-zens of the developed world.What would you and your party do to

address the issue of climate change?

On July 2, 2015 the North Cedar Fire Department and the North Oyster Fire Department were called to a significant wild fire event along the 3000 Block of Cedar Road that spanned both fire protection areas.

Due to high temperatures, windy conditions and a heavy fuel loads, this fire quickly grew to approximately 20 Hectares and threatened several properties and required the assistance of multiple fire departments and the Ministry of Forests crews to contain.

Along with the attending fire crews, numerous community individuals and local companies as well as the British Columbia Ambulance Service and Ladysmith RCMP provided support through water delivery, food delivery, and assistance with livestock management, traffic control and medical services. Without the support of these individuals and agencies what was already a challenging call would have been all the more difficult.

Mark MacDonaldConservative

Under the strong lead-ership of Prime Min-ister Stephen Harper, the Conservatives have reduced greenhouse gas emissions – and they’ve done so while protecting the Cana-dian economy and Ca-nadian jobs. It’s a bal-anced approach that works.

Our Conservative government is proud of its record on the environment, and will continue to imple-ment a responsible sector-by-sector regu-latory approach that is aligned with our major economic competitors

– like the United States – to ensure Canada’s eco-nomic competitiveness is protected.

Here are the facts:• In 2013, Canada’s

GHG emissions were 3.1% lower than 2005 levels, while the econo-my grew by 12.9% over

the same time period. • In 2012, Canada

was the first major coal user to ban the con-struction of traditional coal-fired electricity generation. Coal is the largest source of GHG in the world.• Canada represents

less than 2% of global carbon emissions. By comparison, the U.S. coal sector produces more greenhouse gas emissions than all of Canada.

Prime Minister Harp-er is the only one who will guard us from a high tax, high debt, carbon-pricing agenda preferred by some that will threaten jobs and raise the cost of every-thing.

Canada is envied as one of the very best countries to live in throughout the world. That is in no small part due to this govern-ment’s ability to bal-ance critical issues for the betterment of all, including leading-edge environmental stan-dards and the Prime Minister’s economic policies, which al-

lowed us to emerge rel-atively unscathed from the 2008 recession.

Sheila MalcolmsonNDP

Changing the gov-ernment is the only ef-fective way to tackle climate change. Liberal and Conservative gov-ernments have failed to lead. Tom Mulcair and the NDP have a concrete plan to fight climate change:• Climate change legis-

lation to reduce green-house gases to 80 per-cent below 1990 levels by 2050 - the NDP tabled it in Parliament three times. If we form government, we can finally implement climate change legisla-tion and honour our in-ternational obligation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.• Eliminating subsidies

to the fossil-fuel indus-

try and investing in re-newable energy. • Strengthening Can-

ada’s environmental assessment regime to ensure it is science-based and accounts for climate change.

Transitioning to a clean energy future, with sustainable jobs and investment in the local economy.

NDP Leader Tom Mulcair has the expe-rience to get the job done. Quebec reduced its greenhouse emis-sions every year he was Environment Minister. My experience includes:• As an elected trustee,

incorporating climate change mitigation and greenhouse gas emission reduction targets and strategies into 19 Islands Trust Official Commu-nity Plans, and redesign-ing land use regulations to reduce emissions. • ‘Beat the Peak’ load-

shifting demo to protest a proposed gas-fired Duke Point power plant. BC Hydro cancelled the gas plant six weeks later. Working with hun-dreds in our community for almost five years

stopped the GSX natu-ral gas pipeline through the Salish Sea, and the gas plant. We won!

Collaborating with industry, government, and environmental groups across Canada to design carbon tax models and greenhouse gas emissions trading.

Ron passed away in Cowichan District Hospital after losing his battle with complications from Alzheimers.

Ron was born in England and traveled with his parents to Canada in 1932.

He was predeceased by his parents George and Amy Robb and his late wife Nancy.

He is survived by his wife of 10 years Thelma, 2 sons in Portland Oregon, Larry, (Marna) Terry (Katie) and grandchildren Jessica, Kelly and Jordan plus his stepchildren Chris (Cathy) David, Julie (Steve) and step-grandchildren Michael Andrew and Holly.

Ron first came to the Island in 2003 to visit his mother in Victoria and to pay Thelma a visit whom he had known since 1956 from Vancouver.

They married in 2005 and in 2006 Ron became a permanent resident.

Ron was a former member of the Elk’s Club and a current member of the Eagles Club #2102 and the Ladysmith Legion as well as the Senior Centre in Ladysmith.

Ron will be sadly missed by his Dairy Queen pals in addition to his carpet bowling team.

Ron is remembered well by his love of wine gums and was always seen with at least 2 in his pocket.

A “Farewell to Ron” Celebration will be held on Friday Aug 14, 2015 at 2:00 pm, upstairs at the R.C. Legion in Ladysmith, (621 First Avenue).

In lieu of flowers donations can be made in Ron’s memory to the Alzheimer’s Society.

of the best possible care.
