Sun shines for 35th Annual Terry Fox RunCraig Spencethe chronicle

The clouds parted and the sun shone for the 35th Terry Fox Run, which set out from at Frank Jameson Community Centre Sept. 20, with dozens of participants signing up, warm-ing up, then heading out onto the 2.5 kilometer track to complete one, two, three or four laps.

Mayor Aaron Stone said he participated in his first run when he was a student at Davis Road Elementary School, and that the spirit of Terry Fox has been with him ever since. “Terry’s spir-it and determination really shows the best of what being a Canadian means,” he said.

He introduced one of Ladysmith’s most fer-vent participants in the Terry Fox Run Glenda Patterson, who was sporting the T-shirt she wore in the first ever run she participated in about 30 years ago.A cancer survivor herself – she is currently

taking treatment for a relapse – Patterson buoyed the crowd with her own story, and her dedication to the memory of Terry Fox.“I’ve always loved, respected and been encour-aged by Terry Fox,” Patterson told the crowd.

“He’s definitely one of my idols.”Patterson watches the Terry Fox movie every

year, and every year it rekindles hope.She recalled how the movie portrayed Fox

observing the faces of children in the cancer clinic where he was receiving treatment, and determined to do something to alleviate the fear and realize the hopes he saw in their eyes.“This is when he decided, ‘I’m going to make this better, and I’m going to do this run. I’m going to help whoever I can to battle cancer’,” Patterson recalled.

She is a retired nurse, who has worked with cancer patients herself, so Fox’s resolve reso-nates, and for Patterson, seeing his run contin-ued is a heart-warming experience.

By joining in the run, participants are con-tinuing his legacy, and his battle against cancer.

“We shall never forget Terry, and shall continue to keep his dream alive,” she said.

Then she quoted Fox himself, saying, “We can beat cancer, all of us, all together.”

Event organizer Anita McLeod, the Town of Ladysmith’s community services coordinator, reminded participants that Patterson is one of Terry Fox’s ‘team’.“That’s what people who are cancer survivors in Canada and all over the world are called, is Terry’s Team, and you are one of our favorite members,” she told Patterson.A media kit put out for the 35th Terry Fox Run,

recalled some of the history and achievements of the event.

Participants set off on the 35th annual Terry Fox Run Sunday, Sept. 20, from Frank Jameson Community Centre after a pep talk, a fuel up – compliments of 49th Parallel Grocery and McDonald’s – and a warm up. They were heading onto a 2.5 km track to complete one, two, three or four circuits raising funds in the fight against cancer. Craig SpenCe

Craig Spencethe chronicle

Chemainus and area residents got a chance to look over a revised develop-ment proposal for the Artisan Village project at a Sept. 15 open house.

Developer Chris Clement, has had an interest in the 13.5 hectare site, which fronts mostly on Chemainus Road be-tween Elm St. to the east and Chapman Road to the west, since 2007.

North Cowichan Council approved a 428 unit, $80 million strata-housing project on the site in January, 2011.

Then the project was expected to get underway in the spring of 2012, with an 80-unit development as the first phase.

But to date shovels have not turned any sod, and before they do, Clement is hoping to get a revised plan approved by North Cowichan council.

One of the requested changes to the

proposal is to allow about 35 single family, fee simple lots in the Chapman Road portion of the overall develop-ment plan.“Right now it’s zoned for strata de-

velopment,” Clement said during the open house. “The new one is to allow for roughly 35 single family lots.” There would still be 12 strata units ‘at the end’ of the site, he said.“Other than that, on the other side

of the property, nothing at all is being changed at all for the zoning,” he added.A trail system within the development

will be ‘more natural’ and provide bet-ter access from the development to Chemainus.

The trails will be surfaced with com-pacted gravel and a bridge will be built across Askew Creek, which cuts through the property“So people can walk from the Chap-man Road side, all the way to down-

town Chemainus, via the trail,” Clement said.As in the original proposal, what is

known as ‘the Hermit Trail’ will be pre-served.“We’ll have a company hired to come in and do a report on North Cowichan’s behalf, because at the end of the day, they are going to be the ones that own it,” Clement said.

The report will consider safety issues around use of the trail so that it can be brought “to a standard, when North Cowichan takes it over, that they’re happy with.”Added Clement, “We’re going to keep

the ambiance and the natural beauty of the Hermit Trail.” Consideration is be-ing given to bringing a paved access to the trail behind one of the bordering strata developments to provide wheel-chair access.

School Board meetings to be aired live

Nanaimo-Ladysmith School District may soon be broadcast live, via the internet.

Trustees at the district’s Business Committee meeting Sept. 16 recommended board meetings be live streamed online.

And for those who miss the Board’s delib-erations in real time, there will always be a recorded version of meetings that can be accessed online.“Streaming Board meetings will provide 24-7 access to past Board meetings, which will prove beneficial for those in the commu-nity that cannot attend,” says a report from Dale Burgos, director of com-munications.

The recommendation is for purchase and instal-lation of hardware and software for live stream-ing ‘at a cost of not more than $5,000.’

From Page 1The Marathon of Hope took place in 1980 “with the simple objective

of informing Canadians of the importance of finding a cure for cancer.”Fox had his right leg amputated above the knee after being diagnosed

with bone cancer in 1977. “Terry was so overcome by the suffering of other cancer patients that he decided to run across Canada to raise mon-ey for cancer research,” the retrospective says.

He ran a 42 km marathon every day for 143 days, before he was forced to end his cross-Canada run when his cancer spread to his lungs.

His dream was realized in his lifetime, though. By Feb. 1981 donations exceeded $24 million – one dollar for every Canadian.

The foundation named after him perpetuates his drive to beat cancer, “supporting close to $20 million in discovery based research each year in Canada.”

Terry Fox remembered

Glenda Patterson, who has run in at least 30 Terry Fox Runs, and Anita McLeod, organizer of the 2015 Ladysmith run, share thoughts and memories at the start of the Sunday, Sept. 20, run.

From Page 1Clement said this round of zoning and development bylaw approvals is ‘go-

ing through the process’ and that it’s difficult to say how long that might take.He said plans would be submitted to the North Cowichan Municipality

late this year and that approval could come in the beginning of 2016.“So we could maybe see some earthwork being done, possibly by the sum-mer of next year,” he said.

Clement said the project will be ‘long term’ and ‘market driven.’ The Chap-man road development could take three to four years, “and I could hope to be on the other side of the property in four years,” he said.

The plan is flexible, but the east portion of the site will see a mixed devel-opment. “I see a lot of townhouses, and some condos, there might be some assisted living for seniors, as per the original document,” he said.

Predicting how many units will be built during the life of the project is dif-ficult, Clement said, but he guessed about 250 units would be a likely figure.

Rental and affordable housing are still being considered as part of the mix.

Artisan Village on again


For Moni Khan a 65 kilometer walk from Ladysmith to Parksville was an endurance test; for the vic-tims fleeing violence, hunger and disease in trouble spots all over the world, their treks are a matter of life and death.

That difference was top-of-mind when Khan – accompanied by her friend Crissa Constatine and her teenaged daughters – set out on a fundraising journey, long before the crows flew at about 3 a.m., Fri-day, Sept. 18.

She was expecting to put in 25 hours over the weekend getting from Ladysmith to Parksville by late Saturday or sometime Sunday.

Her goal? Raise $5,000 for Doc-tors Without Borders, the world’s

“leading independent international medical relief organization,” ac-cording to its web site.

Doctors Without Boarders oper-ates in 70 countries, focusing on emergency medical and humani-tarian relief. Physicians volunteer their services to the organization; fundraising is needed for logistical operations and medical supplies.

Khan said she would have lots of time to think as she advanced one-step-at-a-time toward Parksville, her thoughts focused mainly on the plight of those fleeing persecu-tion, starvation or disease.“Every step will be worth it,” she

said before setting out on her walk. “I will be thinking about how they have to walk hundreds of miles to get to freedom and safety.”

She’s hoping her gesture will raise awareness about the need for fund-ing to help international relief organi-zations like Doctors Without Borders.

She’s especially hoping her trek will get people donating to Doc-tors Without Borders on-line Walk Without Borders Challenge.

You can donate by going to walk-withoutborders.ca, then clicking the ‘Individual Search’ button and typing in Khan’s name in the space provided.

That will take you to her fund-raising page.

The 2015 Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock set off on its Island-long odyssey Satur-day, Sept. 19, when the team mem-bers said farewell to friends, family and supporters and headed to the northern tip of Vancouver Island to start their fundraising bike ride.

The 21-member team, made up of 20 police officers and one broad-cast journalist, will cycle the length of Vancouver Island for two weeks, clocking more than 1,000 km, all to raise money for pediatric cancer re-search and support programs.

Now in its 18th year, Cops for Can-cer Tour de Rock has raised more than $20 million since its inception in 1998.

The riders will cycle into more than 25 communities, stopping at schools, community centres and lo-cal businesses.

On Monday, Sept. 28, the rid-

ers will complete the Nanaimo to Ladysmith and Chemainus leg, ar-riving in Ladysmith at 1:30 p.m.After a brief stop at Tim Horton’s on

First Ave., the riders will be piped up the hill to Ladysmith & District Cred-it Union, where they arrive at 2 p.m.At 2:35 p.m. they will stop briefly

at the Fox & Hounds Pub on High Street, before heading south to Chemainus, where they will check in at the Best Western Plus.

From 6:15 to 9 p.m. they will be at-tending the Red Serge Dinner at the Eagles Hall in Ladysmith. Tickets are $25, available at the LDCU and Ladysmith Chamber of Commerce.

Then on Tuesday, at 8 a.m. they will mingle with supporters over breakfast at the Chemainus Le-gion, before heading for a stop at Chemainus Elementary School at 9:15 a.m., then continuing south on their journey.

Tour de Rock on its way

Tim Hortons has been selling Smile Cookies for a dollar each, with proceeds going to the annual Tour de Rock, which rolls into Ladysmith Sept. 28. The Chronicle’s Kara Olson was glad to help out.

Good Citizen nominations wanted

The Honours Award Secretariat of BC has extended the nomina-tion period for the Good Citizens Awards to Oct. 2“The nomination deadline has been extended to ensure British Columbians have more time to consider the people in their com-munity, workplace, family or circle of friends who dedicate their time and energy to the greater good,” says a media release.

This is the first year government will formally honour B.C.’s most com-munity-minded citizens.

The Medal of Good Citizenship reflects their generosity, service, acts of selflessness and out-standing contribution to community life.

People of any age can be nominated. All nomi-nations must be submit-ted to the Honours and Awards Secretariat office in Victoria by Friday, Oct. 2. An independent selec-tion committee will con-sider nominations and make recommendations.

COWICHAN VALLEY WATERING RESTRICTIONS DOWNGRADED TO STAGE 2

EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 18, 2015

FEDERAL ELECTION 2015XIssue Summary #7 - Infrastructure

Municipal and regional governments provide some of the most basic and essential services needed by citi-zens and businesses to survive and thrive: clean water, roads, sewers, recreational facilities, garbage recycling and disposal.

What measures do you believe can be taken to give municipal governments the flexibility and finances they need to build and maintain infrastructure and services that will meet the growing and increasingly complex demands in their areas?

Mark MacDonaldConservative

The Conservative government has made significant investments towards municipal and regional government in-frastructure through the Gas Tax Fund, which they have doubled, in-dexed, and now made permanent.

Through the Gas Tax Fund, which has been extended at $2 billion per year, municipali-ties can utilize that funding for projects of their own choos-ing. In addition, the

New Building Canada Plan calls for $53 bil-lion over 10 years to invest in infrastruc-ture to promote pro-ductivity and eco-nomic growth. Also $32.3 billion has been delivered through the Community Im-provement Fund to support repairs and improvements to ex-isting community in-frastructure.

One of the biggest local transportation infrastructure invest-ments was last week’s commitment that a re-elected Conserva-tive government will provide the required financial support to establish the Foot Pas-senger Ferry to Van-couver. This is the sin-gle biggest immediate project that will have a positive, long-lasting economic impact on

Nanaimo-Ladysmith, and I worked on se-curing this for the past 18 months. Invest-ments in the Nanaimo Airport have also been a great success.

Since 2006, the gov-ernment led by Prime Minister Stephen Harp-er has invested heavily in Canada’s infrastruc-ture in partnership with provincial, ter-ritorial and municipal governments. Canada has led the G7 in infra-structure investments based on a percentage of the GDP, and has undertaken the larg-est infrastructure plan in Canadian history.

The Conservative government has made these investments in infrastructure while keeping taxes low and balancing the bud-get. Spending more than we take in, es-

pecially as the global economy remains fragile, would be risky, and saddle Canadians with debt.

Tim TessierLiberal

A Liberal govern-ment will make histor-ic new investments in infrastructure across the country, strength-ening the middle class, creating jobs, and growing our economy.

This election is a choice between jobs and growth or austerity

FEDERAL ELECTION 2015XFrom Page 4 and cuts. Harper has failed and Thomas Mulcair would cut billions of dollars in public investments. Our community needs a real plan for change, and only the Liber-als will make historic infrastructure invest-ments that will bring jobs and growth to Nanaimo-Ladysmith.

The Liberal plan will address the issues we face by providing new, dedicated funding for social infrastructure that prioritizes afford-able housing and se-nior’s facilities, early learning and childcare, and cultural or recre-ational infrastructure.

People in Nanaimo-Ladysmith understand the real needs our com-munity faces around replacing pipes un-der the pavement in Ladysmith or the Col-liery Dam in Nanaimo. A Liberal govern-

ment will nearly double federal infra-structure investment to almost $125 billion

– from the current $65 billion – over the next decade. Liberals will provide dedicated funding to invest in a broad range of proj-ects, including: local water and wastewa-ter facilities, climate resilient infrastruc-ture, clean energy, and clean up of contami-nated sites to facilitate new construction.

We know that invest-ing in public infra-structure grows the economy, creates jobs, and also makes our communities stronger. Canada’s growth was made possible by am-bitious infrastructure projects. As a country, we must build ambi-tiously once again if we want to modern-

ize our transporta-tion systems, create affordable housing, and adapt to climate change.

Vote Liberal, Vote for Real Change that can happen.

Sheila Malcolmson

NDPIn my 12 years of

working as an elected official at the munici-pal level, I have seen that our communities need federal support to build and maintain public infrastructure. I have also seen how the Harper Conserva-tives’ have tied the hands of our local governments. Years of downloading and neglect have resulted in Canada’s municipal infrastructure debt escalating to $172 bil-lion - and it continues to rise.

The NDP’s plan is bold but also achiev-able because it is mea-sured and fully costed. We will help local gov-ernments provide key services by allocating one additional cent of the existing gas tax, resulting in $1.5 billion at the end of a first mandate to reach $3.7 billion annually in stable, long-term investment in core infrastructure. This will ensure that roads, bridges and vital in-frastructure such as clean and safe water are there when com-munities need them, and it will allow us

to add bike paths and other much-needed projects to address climate change and carbon emissions.

We also know the need for public tran-sit is a growing issue in our area to help people get to work. The Conservatives are promising too little, too late -- nothing in the first two years. Tom Mulcair has de-veloped a Better Tran-sit Plan in partnership with provinces and territories that pro-vides $1.3 billion in an-nual funding to tackle the transit infrastruc-ture backlog.An NDP government

will respect provin-cial jurisdiction and local decision-making, simplify application processes and re-move funding barri-ers through direct and transparent transfers to municipalities and provinces for their pri-orities.And here is the defini-

tion of win-win: Mak-ing sure infrastructure projects have stable funding will create jobs, employing peo-ple who live in this area and boosting our local economy in the process.

Paul Manly

NDPThe Green Party un-

derstands that local governments need stable and predictable funding so they can invest in critical infra-

structure as well as community amenities like sports fields, arts, and culture.

Our current tax sys-tem is unbalanced. Municipalities only receive eight per cent of Canadian tax revenue even though they provide most of the essential services. Canadian municipali-ties currently need more than $350 bil-lion to repair infra-structure like roads and bridges that we all rely on.

The Green Party will provide this funding by creating a Munici-pal Registered Retire-ment Savings Plan bond that will direct billions to municipal governments for their needs.

Greens will increase transfer payments to municipalities from the existing gas tax and direct those funds to sustainable transportation such as public transit, cy-cling and pedestrian walkways.

We will also fund Green Cities initia-tives through Munici-pal Super funds. Cities will be able to apply for grants to fund proj-ects, including:

• Upgrading water and sewage treatment and recycling facilities;

• Development of sports, cultural and recreational facilities as well as their refur-bishment;

• Improvement and ex-pansion of mass tran-sit and car-sharing

• Support of cycling and walkable commu-nities

• Building of energy-efficient housing co-operatives and afford-able housing as part of a national housing strategy

• Cleaning up toxic sitesAnd finally, Greens

will establish a Cana-dian Infrastructure Bank to provide the financing and invest-ment to help our cit-ies and towns build the bridges, roads and facilities they need to thrive and grow.

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.

Well duh! What else do you say when someone points to the gigantic pachyderm squeezed into B.C.’s environmental closet, and notes the obvious fact that elephants fart – in this case, massive amounts of greenhouse gases.

A recent pronouncement by the Univer-sity of Victoria Environmental Law Centre was treated as if it was earth shattering news. Earth shattering it may well be; news it shouldn’t have… or rather, it should have been old news years ago.

The main UVic ‘finding’ was that B.C. is using a ‘flawed environmental assessment process” to arrive at its vaunted claim to leadership in reducing global greenhouse gas emissions.

In fact recent decisions by the Liberal government are destined to make B.C. a global leader in the production of green-house gases as measured on a per capita scale.

What B.C. uses as its measure of mitiga-tion success is greenhouse gases emitted by processes that take place in B.C. – in-cluding emissions generated in the extrac-tion and production of carbon based fuels.

What’s left out of the accounting are the greenhouse gas emissions we export or will be exporting in the form of coal and – if Christy Clark’s Liberal vision for the future holds – liquefied natural gas, to be burned in other countries.

Bad as the first set of stats are likely to be – many predict B.C. will not be able to maintain even its purblind CO2 targets if it becomes a major producer of LNG – they will be dwarfed as countries like China burn the ever increasing sources of carbon based fuels we are intent on providing.

Instead of LNG, say B.C. went big time into the production of heroin for export to the world. We could claim we treat our workers well, that our health standards are high, and consumption low. But would the world not treat us as a pariah?

Of course they would; and rightly so.Truth of the matter is we’re being sold an

environmental bill of goods by the propo-nents of oil, coal and natural gas, and our children are going to pay the price.

Instead of investing in energy sources and technologies of the future, B.C. is be-ing hoodwinked into coupling its future to energy sources that we have been repeat-edly warned must stay in the ground.

Editor:I have been wondering

for some time now why we as a community don’t take action on these derelict boats in our harbour. Why wait for our layers of gov-ernment to do what they always do – pass the pro-verbial buck.

To me it would be simple enough for each person in the community to cough up five or 10 dollars, whatever, and pay to do what has to be done to remove these dangerous eyesores.

People are forever sitting in front of business collect-ing for something. I think if someone would call on our citizens to collect for this cause, there would not be anyone that wouldn’t want to help.

We just have to have the mayor, or whomever, put out the call.

Why wait for something drastic to happen to our wonderful harbour; let’s act now.As far as waiting for gov-

ernments goes – they are usually controlled by any-one except citizens, and we will wait forever.

Come on. We have enough people in this district to re-ally do something about this huge problem.

FEDERAL ELECTION 2015XThis election is

about you. It’s about your life. This elec-tion is about the peo-ple with bills to pay and futures to plan.

You are asked to vote on your future, and to choose the per-son who has the plan and the team that will make a real differ-ence in your everyday life.

There’s a big choice to be made in this election. Justin Trudeau has been to every corner of this country, and he has been told over and over again that you don’t think anyone in Ottawa is listening. Well, we are.

People have said, “Give us change that makes a real, positive difference in our lives. We’re working harder than ever, but we just can’t get ahead. We can’t save for our kids’ education, let alone our own retirement. We’re seeing our adult children return home, unable to find work. And we worry that we will be thrown out of

work, ourselves.”Canadians are our

advisors.Nine out of ten Cana-

dians will be better off under our plan than ei-ther of our opponent’s plans. We will pay for our plan in two ways. We will have the wealthiest pay more in taxes. And we will stop sending cheques to millionaires, just because they have children.

By making life for Canadians better, our plan will make Canada better. When we lift up the middle class, we will elevate our country.

Our plan is to create jobs and economic

growth for the mid-dle class – including new and innovative infrastructure invest-ments, ensuring op-portunities for post-secondary education are available to ev-eryone, and invest-ing in world-leading research and inno-vation, particularly around the environ-ment.

The NDP talk about raising the minimum wage. Their plan will not help 99% of the people who make the minimum wage, be-cause it only applies to minimum wage workers who are reg-ulated by the federal government.

NDP are peddling false hope to hard-working people. And Mr. Mulcair knows it.

I think we’ve had enough of that kind of cynicism.And the NDP’s other

answer for every-thing is to make the company you work for pay more in taxes. That means fewer jobs and less invest-ment; all while our

economy is stalled. The NDP wants to put the brakes on the economy at the worst possible time.

Our opponents can say whatever they want about Justin Trudeau. We are go-ing to stay focused on you, on making a real change happen that will make a real difference in your life, and offer the best plan to help you.

Our plan. The Lib-

eral Plan.We believe a Prime

Minister has three main jobs. Keep our country united. Keep Canadians safe. And give every Canadian, a real and fair chance to succeed.

That’s what our plan will do. That’s what our team is commit-ted to fighting for. And that’s what this election, truly, will be all about. www.real-change.ca

Canadians want change. They want real change.

Cranberry and North Cedar Fire Departments are sponsoring a beer, burger, band and silent auc-tion benefit for one of their members.

Dean Lambert is “embarking on an independent-living chapter of his life,” says a release.“Until now Dean’s amazing mother has been pro-

viding for his care, but due to health reasons she is no longer able to do so,” the release says. “Sadly, Dean must now transition to a new way of living.”

Although confined to a wheelchair Dean has con-tributed his time as a radio operator and dispatch-er with Cranberry Fire Department for many years.“He has always been an enthusiastic and cheerful member of the Department and is very proud of his ability to contribute in so many ways: in turn we are proud to support him in his endeavors,” says the release.

Local businesses are being asked to donate to the silent auction.“We greatly appreciate the services you provide and are even more appreciative of your support,” the release says. “All contributors will have their business name displayed during our event to ad-vertise their support, not only to our cause but to the community.”

For more information contact Sarah Crichton at 250-739-8914 or [email protected].

The benefit will be held at Cedar Community Hall, Nov. 14. Doors will open at 3 p.m.

Fund-raiser by Cranberry and North Cedar fire departments

Members of the Mariners U12B Soccer Team – Tier III in the Mid-Island Association – took time out from their Friday, Sept. 18, practice to sign a thank you card to Nored Developments, which provided a $1,000 donation toward tournament fees and equipment costs. Coach Francois Brassens and supporters will be taking the team on the road this year to compete on the Lower Mainland and beyond. The team also has a U12B account at the Junction Bottle Depot where people can make contributions.

BC Ferries charting1.9% fare increases


BC Ferries Commissioner Gord Macatee said Wednes-day, Sept. 16, that fares will be capped at a 1.9 per cent per year increase between 2016 and 2020.

The increases are the low-est since 2003, according to Transportation Minister Todd Stone, who called the decision ‘good news’ for fer-ry users.

But Macatee said calls for rollbacks of fares on some routes were outside his au-thority.“The commissioner notes that a great deal of work has gone into addressing fare af-fordability over the past four years,” said a statement from BC Ferries.

Macatee presented his deci-sion in a report after conduct-ing and independent review of the newest Coastal Ferry Ser-vices contract.

In May the Islands Trust – which represents the interests of islands between the B.C. mainland and south Vancou-ver Island – hired a public con-sulting firm to calculate what it would cost to lower fares

on all minor ferry routes by 25 per cent.

Perrin Thorau & Associates estimated $11 million to $14 million, and Islands Trust Chair Peter Luckham said that would be money well spent.

He noted that since the en-actment of the Coastal Ferries Act in 2003, fares on some mi-nor routes have increased at a rate four to five times higher than inflation.A 1.9 per cent per year fare

increase over four years will not be welcome news.“The Islands trust is con-

cerned even higher fares may push ferry-dependent com-munities over a ‘tipping point’ that will damage economies and reduce ridership,” he said.

Todd, in response Macatee’s announcement, said BC Fer-ries must continue to look for ways to make fares affordable.“There is more work for BC

Ferries to do over the next four years to further reduce pressure on fares to ensure our coastal ferry service oper-ates as efficiently and afford-ably as possible, well into the future,” he said.

You may not notice, but it won’t only be opening night for Dearly Departed when Little Theatre next takes to its stage Oct. 8.Also premiering will be a

newly acquired lighting con-sole, which – over time – is going to make keeping the brightness, focus, hue and colours on stage easier to manage.

The big advantage to the new system - actually, the theatre bought a used ETC console for $5,000 – is it will allow the theatre to switch gradually to LED lighting, replacing the incandescent spotlights it now uses.

That will save money, al-low the theatre to operate in a more environmentally friendly way, give the light-

ing designer more control over the kinds of effects he wants to achieve, and keep the actors from being roasted alive during perfor-mances.

One of the biggest differ-ences between LED lights and conventional, is you can change the colours of LEDs direct from the console. With incandescent spot-lights colour is achieved by putting gels over the lenses, which means they can only be changed manually.

A scene change, say from day to moonlight, or sunset, can be achieved using one LED instead of two or three conventional lamps.

With incandescent light-ing, “You use a lot more fixtures than you would with LED,” Bruce Mason explained.Actors are looking forward

to the upgrade to LEDs. “As an actor, when you’re on set and you have all of those lights, it generates a lot of heat,” Bill Johnston, Little

Theatre’s’ artistic director said.

LEDs generate almost no heat.

But it’s going to be a while before the full benefits of the new console will be re-alized. At $800 a pop – for a ‘cheap one’ – LED lights will have to be acquired one at a time, as budgets permit.

That said, the ability to begin the changeover is a big plus as far as Ladysmith Little Theatre is concerned. The future looks bright.

Little Theatre has seen the LED lightBill Johnston, President and

Artistic Director; Bruce Mason, Founding Member; Susan Car-thy, Vice President and Chuck

Harmon, Lighting Designer with new lighting panel at

Ladysmith Little Theatre.

The Met’s staging of the ‘turbulent trag-edy’ Trovatore will be aired at the Cowichan Performing Arts Cen-tre Saturday, Oct. 3 at 9:55 a.m.

Trovatore “tells a tale of mistaken identity, obsessive love and horrifying tragedy, played out against a backdrop of the Span-ish Civil War,” says a

CPAC media release. “Gypsies, counts, trou-badours and noble women cross paths as the story unfolds.“At the crux of the tale are two men, both in love with Leonora. One is the irascible Count di Luna and the other is Manrico,

a gypsy-born trouba-dour. Neither is aware of how much more they have in common,” it adds.

Trovatore, a main-stay of the operatic repertory, is the first presentation offered for the tenth anniver-sary season of The

Met: Live in HD.Tickets: adult $27;

senior $25; student $22; child $16; eyeGo $5 – available in per-son at the Cowichan Ticket Centre, 2687 James St. or by phone (250) 748-7529 or on-line at cowichanpac.ca.

IRVING, Lillian Gertrude (née Macmillan)September 17, 1924 – September 9, 2015

Trudy passed away suddenly, but very peacefully, with her sons Doug and John at her bedside, on Sept. 9, one week short of her 91st birthday. She is remembered by her large family and many friends as the woman always glad to see you walk in the door, always curious about what you are doing and how you are, and always ready to support your projects and (even) crazy ideas. The word “no” rarely passed her lips.A woman full of courage – to come back from a broken hip

twice during her 80s, and to breathe through an oxygen tube for over a decade – she was a life-long beauty, recognized in later years by the elegant twist of white hair atop her head.Married to John Irving for 67 years, they had five children, 14 grandchildren and six (three more on the way) great-grandchildren. Goo – a childhood name that stuck – lived on a ranch near Cayley, Alberta, that later became the Macmillan Hutterite Colony, and attended St. Hilda’s school in Calgary. She met John in Calgary, followed him to Montreal and Halifax, where they both served in the RCN during WWII, then returned to Calgary to marry. They lived in Scarboro for 20 years, before moving to Saltair on Vancouver Island, where they had 40+ happy years together. Trudy was getting ready to host her weekly bridge game the day she went to Duncan hospital. Word and card games, and all televised sports, especially tennis, made her day in later life. “I’m content,” she countered, when recently asked if she didn’t miss the “on the move” attitude she long fostered in herself and her family.The family wishes to thank Angela Schultz for her loving and lively care of Trudy over the past four years. They cooked up a storm together!

A funeral service will take place at Chemainus United Church on September 27

at 2:00 pm. The family hopes that Trudy’s church and community friends will be there with them to share

stories and memories. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Chemainus Hospital

Auxiliary are greatly appreciated.
