Tour de Rock rolls into Ladysmith Sept. 30Nick BekolayTHE CHRONICLE

The Tour de Rock entourage rolled out of Port Alice Sunday morning on the first leg of their 1,000-kilometre journey south to Victoria.

Following a west coast detour this coming weekend, TDR is scheduled to depart Nanaimo for Ladysmith and Chemainus on the morning of Monday, Sept. 30.

In the lead up to TDR’s arrival, local organizers are busy overseeing a multi-faceted fundraising and aware-ness campaign.

Front and centre is the Wall of Heroes, a mural locat-ed at the Ladysmith and District Credit Union that will serve as the backdrop for Ladysmith’s welcome cere-mony when TDR arrives Monday afternoon.

TDR committee member Kim Judson said anyone in-terested in having a cancer hero’s name memorialized on the Wall of Heroes can do so by donating $50 to TDR. Kelly Everill returns to Ladysmith this Wednesday (Sept. 25) to complete the mural, Judson said, and it

may only take a day or two for her to add the 70 names registered to date. As a result, Judson advised anyone wanting to see their hero’s name added to the wall prior to the mural’s unveiling Sept. 30 to register with the LDCU prior to Sept. 25.A second fundraising option is the Adopt-A-Rider

program. By donating $50 to TDR prior to Sept. 30, the Ladysmith Downtown Business Association will assign a donor a rider, make up an “encouragement poster,” and provide professional photos. Judson said that rider adoptions can be arranged by contacting Teresa McKin-ley at the Chronicle.

Vancouver Island Insurance Centre is contributing to the TDR effort by sponsoring a bike draw, Judson add-ed. By donating to TDR before Sept. 30, donors will be eligible to win one of three bikes up for grabs. To sign up for the draw, contact Adele at Ladysmith VIIC.

Local eateries are contributing to the cancer-fighting cause, too, Judson said. Printingdun Beanery at First Avenue and Roberts Street is donating the proceeds of every chicken sandwich sold from now through Sept.

30, Judson added, while Tim Horton’s is donating the proceeds of any Smile Cookies sold until Sept. 30 to TDR.

Ladysmith Secondary School will make its contribu-tion via an Open Mic Night scheduled for 6:30 p.m. this Thursday (Sept. 26) at LSS. Admission is by donation, and all proceeds will go to TDR.

LSS principal Dave Street, meanwhile, will spend Sept. 28-30 camped out on a scissor lift in the LDCU parking lot to raise money and awareness for TDR, Judson said.

Lonely though he may be, Street can count on Ladysmith Fire/Rescue to keep him company as he em-barks on his journey through low earth orbit. Ladysmith Fire/Rescue will host a community barbecue and TDR fundraiser Sept. 28 from 4-7 p.m. in the LDCU parking lot.

The grand finale begins when the TDR riders roll into Ladysmith Monday afternoon sometime between 1:30 and 2 p.m., Judson said. After a brief stop at Tim Hor-ton’s, the riders will proceed to the LDCU parking lot where they will be greeted by Ladysmith’s finest.

Cadets from Royal Cana-dian Air Cadets Squad-ron 257 Ladysmith lead nearly 300 cadets in a Vancouver Island Wing Squadron and Band Pa-rade along First Avenue Sunday, Sept. 22. Here, they salute reviewing of� cer Rear Admiral William Truelove, com-mander of Maritime Forces Paci� c, in front of the Royal Canadian Legion. Cadets from 10 squadrons from Van-couver Island and Pow-ell River took part in the parade, which was followed by a military inspection inside Aggie Hall.

In brief Profab reopens in bigger sitePeter RuslandTHE CHRONICLE

Jason LeRoy toasted the grand reopening of his Chemainus log-trailer manufacturing plant earlier this month after fire destroyed his origi-nal operation in January.

Sipping a cold beer, LeRoy and his staff greet-ed friends, customers and suppliers at Profab Manufacturing Ltd.’s new location at 9366 Smi-ley Rd. where LeRoy figured his firm has actu-ally boosted its manufacturing capacity — in square footage that increased fourfold — after the early-morning blaze at 3128 Hope Pl.“We’ll definitely be able to increase capacity,” said LeRoy, whose company makes trailers for timber rigs from across B.C.

Profab’s staff roster has risen to 23 from the previous 17 when it ran at its former leased shop.

LeRoy bought a bigger site in May, and con-tinued working during insurance negotiations

— concerning the value of lost tools and other gear, plus trailer in progress, and other Profab property — and construction of the new opera-tion.

Veteran staffer Janice Gowanlock survived the whole ordeal and looked on the sunny side of Profab’s phoenix.“It may have been a blessing in disguise,” she said, echoing LeRoy’s relief no one was injured in the blaze fought by crews from Chemainus, Crofton, and Ladysmith fire halls.“After the investigation, it was ‘cause un-

known,’” LeRoy said. “They basically figure it was a short in the electrical under the floor of the mezzanine.”

But keeping customers happy and staff work-

ing was described by LeRoy as a big juggling act in the fire’s aftermath.“Just days after, we had an office set up in my house. The (daily) logistics were pretty tough to deal with among our supervisors,” he said.

“Basically, we had a lot of great neighbours that lent us tools and made some space in their

shops. By the next week, we were working out of three different places in the (Chemainus) in-dustrial park.”

Meanwhile, Gowanlock was glad Profab is basically back to normal after eight months of post-fire turmoil.“We’ll let you know in a year,” she said.

Chemainus River Bridge is on time, on budget

Chemainus River’s new bridge project is on time and on budget, despite contrary reports, North Cowichan’s mayor says.“That’s simply not true,” Jon Lefebure said of notions finishing $5-million rural span between Mural Town and Crofton was delayed due to a lack of steel. “it’s on time and on budget.”

There was a brief delay in starting replacement of the former wooden bridge “due to hydro work, and the incident of electrocution of a man,” he said of the injury accident about two months ago.“Completion was to be Oct. 15, and there could be a slight delay. The contractor is responsible for being on budget, and far as we know, they are.” — Peter Rusland

Two women injured in Sunday crash

Two women suffered non-life threatening injuries Sunday, Sept. 22 when their SUV rolled on the Trans-Canada Highway south of Chemainus, Crofton’s fire chief says.

Lee Burridge said the mishap occurred on wet pavement at around 1:30 p.m. in the highway’s northbound lane, about a half-kilometre south of Mural Town. The wreck allegedly saw a Chev Blazer hit a car, then roll.

The crash caused what Burridge called extensive damage to the car’s rear-end, leaving the flipped Blazer blocking the highway for about half an hour.

Crofton firefighters attended the scene. They were backed by Chemainus fire hall’s rescue truck in case the Jaws of life were needed to remove folks from the wreckage.“The two females got out of their cars themselves,” he said.

The pair was taken to Cowichan District Hospital with unknown injuries, while North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP sorted out the cause.

Jason LeRoy and Profab Manufacturing Ltd. are back in business after a devastating � re destroyed the original Chemainus operation back in January. Profab celebrated its grand reopening in a new, larger loca-tion on Smiley Road earlier this month. PETER RUSLAND

Staff WriterTHE CHRONICLE

The Ladysmith RCMP is asking the public for information after a busy weekend deal-ing with a rave on Spruston Road.

On the night of Saturday, Sept. 21, Ladysmith RCMP members “were kept very busy providing services to a rave, which was situated at or near the west end of Spruston Road, just north of the Nanaimo Airport,” Staff Sgt. Dave Herman stated in a press re-lease.

The rave, and the issues arising from it, went on until almost the daylight hours of Sunday morning, he noted.“During the evening, a significant number of unlawful alcohol, illicit drug and illicit drug paraphernalia seizures were made at a po-lice road check point leading directly up to the area of the rave,” said Herman.At the same time, Ladysmith RCMP also re-

sponded to other calls for service, including two other independent complaints of a man yelling for help from the same general area as the rave.“When this man was located, with the as-sistance of residents in the area, he fled on foot from police prior to our members being able to establish full control of the situation,” said Herman.“It is suspected he was under the influence of either drugs, alcohol or both.”An RCMP police dog was summoned into

the area but could not locate the man, who was described as a white adult male, and the man’s identity is not known.

RCMP believe the man got out of the area

of his own means and is not in any danger, according to the press release.Anyone with information with respect to

the organizers of these raves or the identity of this unknown male is requested to con-tact the Ladysmith RCMP at 250-245-2215.

Ladysmith RCMP Staff Sgt. Dave Herman sent this photo of the suspected site of a rave at or near the west end of Spruston Road and the garbage left behind by the participants. The rave took place Saturday, Sept. 21 and lasted into the early-morning hours of Sunday, Sept. 22. PHOTO SUBMITTED

Nick Bekolaythe chronicle

Members of the BC Jeep Club (BCJC) hauled more than two metric tons of scrap metal and trash from Chemainus River Pro-vincial Park during their second annual cleanup and toy run Sept. 14.

Cathi Manness, a

BCJC global modera-tor, said this year’s cleanup effort led to the removal of 4,642 pounds of garbage and 650 pounds of scrap metal from the riverside park.

On top of its mas-sive cleanup effort, the club raised $330 for the President’s Choice Children’s Charity by cashing in

the scrap metal it had collected and combin-ing those funds with donations from both BCJC members and the public.

The idea for an an-nual cleanup originat-ed during the summer of 2012, Manness said, when she noticed the

“horrendous amount of garbage” dumped in the park.

Manness sought and received sponsorship funding for a cleanup from local businesses before posting the idea to the BCJC’s forum to gauge her fellow four-wheel en-thusiasts’ level of in-terest.

The response she re-ceived from the club’s 5,000 members was

“overwhelming,” Man-ness explained, and what followed was the BCJC’s inaugural cleanup event on Oct. 28, 2012.

Combining 3,600 pounds of scrap met-al and 2,000 pounds of garbage collected by the club in 2012 with the refuse removed this year brings the club’s total contri-bution to a cleaner park to an astounding 10,892 pounds — just shy of five metric tons.

Manness credited the support of nu-merous Vancouver Is-land businesses with making their cleanup effort possible, in-cluding the follow-ing Duncan-based retailers: Karnage FabWorks, Lordco Auto Parts, Mobil 1 Lube Express, Bos-ton Pizza, Walmart, Mr. Mikes, Just Jakes, Bow Mel Chrysler Jeep, Safeway, Coast Environmental and Steel Pacific.

A victim is in stable condition after a Sept. 18 head-on collision near Crofton, police say.“As of last night, the

victim is in stable condition in hospital,” an e-mail from North Cowichan/Duncan Cpl. Jon Stuart says.

“Charges are pend-ing, and the investiga-tion is continuing.”

One person was been airlifted to Vic-toria General Hospi-tal following the seri-ous accident near the Crofton Road and Hay Road intersection in Crofton shortly after 1 a.m., police said.

Stuart said the ac-cident appeared to

have been a “head-on” collision, and one of the passengers was initially trapped in their vehicle.

The extent of inju-ries, types of vehicles, and other details were not released by press time.

Stuart confirmed, however, one driver is being investigated for impaired driving.

Marine visitor numbers are up significantlyLMS has seen visitor nights rise 56 per cent since 2011

Ladysmith is benefitting from a rising tide in marine tourist traffic, says Tom Ir-win, executive director of the Ladysmith Maritime Society. Overnight moorage at the LMS Community Marina peaked in August 2013 at close to 500 “visitor nights,” Irwin said, boosting visitor numbers past 1,300 on the season. Half of all visitors originate from American and “off-Island” destinations, Irwin said, translating to a substantial contribution to the local economy. See story for more.

The number of visi-tors docking at the Ladysmith Maritime Society Commu-nity Marina hit new heights this summer.

LMS executive di-rector Tom Irwin said traffic at the marina peaked in August at approxi-mately 500 “visi-tor nights” — one night’s moorage for a single boat — boosting this year’s total to 1,310 as of Sept. 13.

Marine visitor numbers are up sig-

nificantly in recent years, and the LMS boasts “a 56 per-cent increase in 2012-13 visitor nights com-pared to 2011.”Visitors mooring

at the LMS marina originated largely from the United States (33 per cent), elsewhere on Van-couver Island (27 per cent) and from

“off-Island” Canada (23 per cent), Irwin said, representing a substantial infusion to the local econo-my.

Boats are crewed on average by two to four people, Irwin

added, translating to a per-boat spend-ing rate of $225 per night. All told, maritime

visitors docking at the LMS marina have spent close to $300,000 so far this year, Irwin ex-plained, prompting the society to con-sider a 150-foot ex-tension to its exist-ing visitor’s dock.

Irwin credited the rising tide of visitors to the completion of the LMS Welcome Centre and “the re-markable hospitality that Ladysmith is be-coming known for.”


Despite efforts to keep the smart meter “contro-versy” alive by

repeating imaginary health claims, the end is near.

Energy Minister Bill Ben-nett has made what sounds like a final offer to hold-outs. You want to keep your old mechanical meter, fill your boots. It’ll cost you an extra $35 a month, starting in December. If you insist on a “radio off” wireless meter, there will be a setup fee of $100 and a monthly fee of $20 to have someone collect the readings.

These charges are to be reviewed by the B.C. Utili-ties Commission, the inde-pendent panel that smart meter opponents want to review BC Hydro’s whole smart grid project.

As it happens, the BCUC recently did just that for an application by FortisBC to install wireless meters for its Okanagan and Koote-nay customers. The meters were approved, and the

findings are instructive.The BCUC report notes

that it received “many” complaints about smart meter signals being added to existing radio frequency (RF) sources. Some used familiar scare rhetoric about “toxic microwave radiation” that’s promoted by people trying to make money by exploiting fear.

One of the experts re-tained by FortisBC was Dr. Yakov Shkolnikov, an electrical engineer with ad-vanced degrees from Princ-eton and Cornell Univer-sities. His testimony was not challenged by any of the lineup of opponents. A sample of his findings illus-trates the absurdity of this whole discussion.

Shkolnikov calculated that a cell phone in use generates radio signals that reach 10 per cent of the international safety code limit. A microwave oven generates 2.3 per cent of the safe limit. A cordless phone: 1.25 per cent. A wi-fi signal: 0.0045 per cent.

A bank of smart meters, not separated by a wall,

registers 0.0019 per cent. The natural background RF level is 0.013 per cent. Note the decimal place. The level in the middle of a wilder-ness is more than 10 times that received from a bank of meters.

BCUC staff added, for comparison, the radio sig-nal level emitted by a hu-man body. It’s 0.018 per cent. What this means is your spouse snoring beside you is a stronger source of RF than a whole wall of smart meters.

Experts put up by oppo-nents didn’t fare so well. One was Jerry Flynn, a re-tired Canadian Forces of-ficer who travels around taking readings, talking to elderly people about alleged hazards of meters, and mak-ing claims to the media about what he has called the single biggest threat to human health today. The BCUC found his military ex-perience not “relevant,” and his evidence frequently “in-correct, exaggerated and/or unsubstantiated.”

Then there was Curtis Bennett, who described

himself as “chief science officer” for a company called Thermoguy. He spoke on behalf of West Kootenay Concerned Citi-zens. In a 2012 letter to the B.C. energy ministry, Ben-nett warned of the danger of smart meters triggering “molecular earthquakes.”

The BCUC panel wrote: “While Mr. Bennett has an electrician’s knowledge of electrical systems, it is clear that he is unqualified to give expert opinion evi-dence on the health effects of RF, exposure standards for RF, engineering, physics or geological phenomena such as earthquakes.”

Citizens for Safe Technol-ogy put up one Dr. Donald Maisch, who claimed to have experience with this issue in Australia. The panel noted Maisch runs EMFacts Consultancy, and agreed with FortisBC’s argument that “Dr. Maisch’s consult-ing livelihood depends upon public fears and con-cerns about RF exposure.”

For many people, fall on Vancouver Island means fundraising time.

Last week, United Way Central and North-ern Vancouver Island (UWCNVI) launched a new twist on its annual fundraising cam-

paign. UWCNVI is challenging community members to become Agents of Change and help raise $750,000 to-wards 33 critically needed programs delivered on the central Island by 27 Community Partners.

“By giving to United Way, you can help thousands in our community, including families struggling with pov-erty, kids in desperate need of mentoring, people recov-ering from addictions or the impact of abuse, as well as seniors at risk of isolation,” UWCNVI executive director Signy Madden says in a press release. “United Way funds programs that we carefully select and monitor and know are addressing many of the major challenges that people are facing.”

Many of United Way’s Community Partners for 2013-14 are either right here in Ladysmith or offer services that Ladysmith families can access, including Big Broth-ers Big Sisters Central Vancouver Island, Boys and Girls Clubs Central Vancouver Island, Canadian Red Cross, Haven Society, Island Crisis Care, Ladysmith Family and Friends Ladysmith Resources Centre Association, Literacy Central Vancouver Island, Mid Island Abilities and Independent Living Society, and Vancouver Island Crisis Society.

There are many, many worthy groups, organizations and events asking for your donations at this time of year, and UWCNVI is just one. But it’s a very far-reaching one that can make a big impact in a lot of lives.

If you’d like to help and be an Agent of Change, do-nations can be made by contacting the UWCNVI office at 250-729-7400 or [email protected] or online through Canada Helps at www.uwcnvi.ca. —Lindsay Chung

Chronicle reader offers correction and historical connection

Editor:

Re: Sept. 10, 2013 edition: New Chemainus mall on schedule

Last week I sent you an e-mail pointing out two errors in the above mentioned mall article.

First, the mall project owner’s name was actually Ian Spurl-ing, not Ian Sterling, and sec-ondly, the quotation inserted in the article was attributed to the project heating system man-ager, although actually made by Mr. Spurling, as had been mentioned twice in the same paragraph in two consecutive sentences.

I received not one, but two answering e-mails from you a day or two apart, thanking me for pointing out the errors and assuring me a correction would be run in the next week’s issue of the Chronicle. That did not occur.

I was disappointed, not only because the error was not made known to those who read the paper edition of the Chronicle, but also because I felt the name, “Spurling” could still resonate with a number of Ladysmith residents.

You see, Ian Spurling has an historical connection to Ladysmith. His grandfather had been the Anglican minister in

St. John’s parish for a number of years, some 70-odd years ago, and his father, Roger Spurling, grew up in Ladysmith, became a pharmacist, apprenticing in the Ladysmith drug store under the supervision of the local owner pharmacist, Tom Bertram, be-fore establishing his own suc-cessful business in the Colwood area. It is for these reasons I take the liberty of writing this letter to present the clarifica-tion and the Ladysmith connec-tion myself.

I have been reading the Chron-icle for close to 75 years now.

I suppose it is too much to al-ways expect the same careful journalism I remember appear-ing when Thomas Collinge or Sam Hindmarch or John Mc-Naughton or Rollie Rose was at the helm. But then, I can dream, can’t I?

Laughing, Kerrie Vockeroth says she was kind of bribed into becoming a member of the Ladysmith Lions Club.

Ten years later, her dedication and com-mitment to the club were recognized when she received the Judge Brian Stevenson Fel-lowship Award this summer.“The Judge Brian Ste-

venson Fellowship is a prestigious award named after Judge Brian Stevenson from Calgary, who was one of few Canadians who rose to the office of Li-ons International presi-dent,” said Jim Sheph-ard, outgoing president of the club.

The award requires a donation of $500 to Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides. “This award is voted

on by people who have received the award be-fore in the club,” said Shephard. “It’s not something that’s taken lightly — it’s very, very special. This woman has been with our club

for about 10 years and has been involved in numerous projects. One of the attributes this Lion brings is cre-ativity; many of our posters, signs and billboards have been produced by this Lion, and in addition, this Lion has been promi-nent in the Easter Egg Hunt, Light Up and the Ladysmith Ambassa-dor program. This Lion also carves fantastic jack-o’-lanterns.”

Vockeroth was sur-

prised and honoured by the award.

Vockeroth became a Lion after approaching the club for a donation for the 24-Hour Relay for Easter Seals. “Ken said ‘we could

probably give you $1,000, and since you’re already coming and volunteering for all these things already, I think you’d better be-come a Lion too,’” she laughed. “So I said ‘for $1,000, I’ll definitely be-come a Lion.’”

Vockeroth honoured for her commitment to Lions

A Sept. 11 tribute


Celebrating 70 years of air cadets in Ladysmith

Royal Canadian Air Cadets Squadron 257 Parallel Ladysmith hosted a Vancouver Island Wing Squadron and Band Parade Sunday, Sept. 22 to commemorate the squadron’s 70th anniversary. It is believed to be the first time an entire Wing paraded together in the centre of a town, at least in B.C. Almost 300 cadets from 10 squadrons participated in the parade along First Avenue and inspection inside Aggie Hall, home of the Ladysmith air cadets since 1943. Pictured clockwise from top left are: all the cadets ready for inspection; the parade making its way to Aggie Hall; a demonstration by the drumline; Col. Jim Benninger, base commander at 19 Wing Comox, inspecting the troops; and reviewing officer Rear Admiral William Truelove, commander of Maritime Forces Pacific. Lindsay Chung

Elder co-ops could come to Cowichan ValleyStaff Writerthe chronicle

Cowichan Valley seniors may soon have access to co-opera-tively-run seniors’ housing and support services.

The BC Co-operative Asso-ciation is launching a program, funded in part by the Govern-ment of Canada and the Van-couver Foundation, to support the development of elder co-ops across Canada, states a press

release issued by Rick Juliusson on behalf of Cowichan Co-oper-ative Connections (CCC).

The project is aimed at sup-porting housing co-ops, co-op-eratively-run residential care facilities, and co-ops providing aging-in-place and foster care services. Called “Caring Co-operatively,” the project will provide development funding of up to $20,000 for pilot co-op projects, designed and directed by seniors, senior organizations

and communities. “In the hopes that Cowichan

can be one of the selected sites for this project, CCC is hosting a meeting for all Cowichan seniors and support agencies to discuss what type of model would best address our needs in the valley,” states the press release.

Seniors and stakeholders are invited to share their input at a public meeting scheduled for Friday, Oct. 4 at St. John’s Angli-can Church — at First and Jubi-

lee in Duncan — from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Prior to a discussion period, project co-ordinator Kevin Hard-ing is scheduled to outline how the project will aim to “empower seniors to work together on the provision of services that they need, and that they design.”

For more information on the community meeting, contact Rick Juliusson at [email protected] or visit co-wichan.coop/events.

Jennifer Faerber knows firsthand the impact cancer can have on a child’s life.

Faerber, who came to Canada from Australia three years ago to continue her radio career, battled non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma as a kid. She also had the opportunity to attend a camp in Australia similar to B.C.’s Camp Goodtimes, a summer camp for children who have gone through cancer.

Faerber, one of four media riders on this year’s Canadian Cancer Soci-ety Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock team, says going from reporting on the Tour to being a part of the event has been a deeply rewarding experi-ence.

“When I first moved to Vancou-ver Island, Tour de Rock was one of the first stories I had to cover,” said Faerber, news director of Vista Radio’s Coast group of stations, based in Courtenay. “When you work in broadcasting, you talk a lot, but you don’t talk about yourself. I’ve had friends that didn’t really know what I went through.”

Faerber said one of her motivat-ing factors as a rider is to tell people “what it’s like when you are that kid with cancer.”

She noted how grateful she is to

have gone to a camp during her treatment, and wants to help kids who are currently battling cancer.

“When we visited Camp Good-times, the kids cheer so loudly for you. I actually felt really comfortable there; I was one of those kids,”

While the other three media rid-ers on this year’s 21-person team haven’t experienced cancer the same way Faerber has, they all have their reasons to ride.

Black Press media rider Arnold Lim, a father of two, says he thinks about his own kids whenever he gets on the bike.

“When we went to Camp Good-times I met kids whose stories you don’t know completely, but you know they’ve been dealt some pretty bad cards. But they don’t look any different than my own kids,” he said. “They’re the same age as my kids, but they’ve gone through something that kids their age shouldn’t have to go through.”

Lim, who prior to training hadn’t been on a bike for years, says he’s

motivated by those kids whenever he feels the aches and pains of cycling.

“There isn’t a day that goes by where my thighs aren’t throbbing or my feet are hurting, but that’s noth-ing compared to the chemotherapy and the spinal taps that some kids have to go through,” Lim said. “I’m not in any position to complain.”

CTV News Vancouver Island reporter and anchor Joe Perkins is grateful no children in his family have been affected by cancer, but he keeps in mind a close uncle who died from lung cancer.

“He never smoked a day in his life,” Perkins said.

He draws his motivation from his junior rider, Luke Savage, a 17-year-old Grade 12 student at Belmont secondary.

“Luke had three jobs this summer, worked seven days a week, knows he wants to be an electrician, he’s finishing up his Grade 12 year, and he’s in remission. … For me, that’s pretty inspiring.”

The close-knit camaraderie amongst this year’s riders and Tour de Rock team also took Perkins by surprise.

“I knew it would be special, I didn’t think it would be this special,” he said. “And that’s me saying this before we’ve even left. … I can’t wait to see the Island.”

Jillian van der Geest, an on-air host with KOOL FM, has witnessed the impact cancer has on a family whose child is battling the disease.

Caleb, the son of a family friend, was diagnosed with a brain tumour at eight years old, and died two years later.

“I spent a lot of time with his family, from diagnosis to his death, and it’s heart-wrenching and inspir-ing to watch a family go through that. All they wanted to do was talk about it and have good times with him,” van der Geest said.

“It was a unique experience for me to be there and help the family when I could, but ultimately how can you help with something like that? For me, Tour de Rock – this is me trying to help.”

Tickets on sale for Christmas showStaff WriterTHE CHRONICLE

In the past six years, the Yellowpoint Christmas Spectacu-lar has become a win-ter tradition for many local residents.

If you are one of those people who

makes this singing and dancing extravaganza part of your holiday plans each year, you’ll be pleased to know tickets are now on sale for the seventh annual production.

Opening night is Dec. 6, and the show will run through until Dec. 21. Ten performances are slated on the cal-endar at the Cedar Community Hall and, for the first time this year, the show is also booked at the Port Theatre in Nanaimo for three performanc-es.

Last year’s Christ-mas Spectacular at the Cedar Community Hall was a hit and sold out weeks in advance, according to a press release.

This year’s produc-tion features a Queen tribute, a James Bond medley and a Sound of Music medley, Michael Bublé songs and a nos-talgia tribute, as well as many more classi-cal hits and Christmas favourites.

Cast auditions were held over three days in Vancouver in May, and more than 100 young dancers and singers came out to audition, according to show creator Katy Bowen-Roberts.

Four singers and five dancers have been cast, and they will be coming to the Island from across Canada to perform.

During the summer, Bowen-Roberts trav-elled to London, Eng-land, to choose more dazzling costumes for this year’s show.“I love going to see Mr.

Bahal in my favourite costume store in Lon-don,” she said. “The shop is full of sequins! In talking with Mr. Ba-hal, I learned that each sequin is sewn on indi-vidually to each dress.

The quality is amazing!” More than 600 tickets

have already sold for this year’s Christmas Spectacular.

Call 250-754-8550 or visit www.porttheatre.com to book your tick-ets now for either the Cedar Community Hall or the Port Theatre.

Academy Award-winning set director Jim Erickson of Salt Spring Island brought his Oscar statue with him to the Ladysmith Waterfront Art Gallery in Au-gust when he was the guest speaker at the opening gala for the Fine Craft Show. “Opening night was a great success,” says the gallery. “We had countless people attend the artist talk with Jim Erickson on a hot summer night. Jim gave a great talk about his experiences being a set decorator through his career, showed us his Oscar and graciously let us take a couple of pictures of him before heading out to catch a ferry home.” Here, Erickson poses with potter Vic Duffhues.

Choir begins new termStaff Writerthe chronicle

”Group singing has been scientifically proven to lower stress, relieve anxiety and elevate endor-phins,” Stacy Horn states in Imperfect Harmony: How Singing With Others Changes Your Life. In the Daily Telegraph, Sarah Rainey writes that, “Singing as part of a choir has the same calming health benefits as yoga.”

Dennison encourag-es anyone looking for an added boost of en-dorphins to join her Sing For Pure Joy! Community Choir.“This is a safe, non-

judgmental circle where every voice is welcome,” she states in a press release. “No experience is needed, and no auditions are required — only the desire to make joy-ful sounds to help access and express the profound joy and beauty at our core. Raise your voice with heart-felt melodies,

soulful gospel songs and spirituals, world music, mesmerizing chants and rousing rounds. Songs from the ridiculous to the sublime!”

Sing For Pure Joy! is not a paper-trained choir, and no written music is used.“The majority of music in the world comes from the oral

tradition, and all songs are taught by call and response, recognizing that this is the most accessible and effective way for the majority of peo-ple to learn and retain songs in the longer term,” according to the Natural Voice Practitioners.

Sing For Pure Joy! is not a performing

choir, although choir members occasional-ly engage in a S.W.A.T. (Sing When Asked To) or a S.W.I.T. (Sing When Inspired to).“We are delighted

when residents of The Lodge on 4th join in our Song Circle — it’s a lovely way to bring community in to our elders,” said Dennison.

Some of the choir’s members like to at-tend and sing a few songs at The Coffee House at Hardwick Hall — a fundraiser for the Ladysmith Food Bank — on the last Saturday of every month.

The choir gathers Saturdays from 6:30-8 p.m. at The Lodge on 4th (1127 Fourth Ave.) in Ladysmith. The dates for this term are Sept. 14, Sept. 28, Oct. 5, Oct. 19, Oct. 26, Nov. 9, Nov. 30 and Dec. 14.

There is a $10 drop-in fee or a reduced fee if one joins for the Fall Term.

Dennison offers a sliding scale by re-quest and has limited scholarships for any-one who is unable to afford the fee.“I just want to en-

courage everyone to raise their voice in glorious song!” she said.

For more informa-tion, contact Mary Dennison at [email protected] or call 250-285-3764.

Chemainus seniors present Spooktacular Oct. 31-Nov. 3 at Mount Brenton Golf Club


Ken Morrison, Narie Chambers, George Davison and Barry Patchett guarantee laughter will be had when their Halloween Spook-tacular takes centre stage at the Mount Brenton Golf Club Oct. 31–Nov. 3. Nick Bekolay

Get set for spooky and sultry show


A crew of Chemainus seniors is planning a

tribute to Halloween that’s as sultry as it is spooky.

Spooktacular — a comical Addams Family tribute in-fused with a touch of burlesque — pre-mieres Halloween night, director and producer Dawn Ad-ams said.

The show revolves around Fester Ad-

dams’ return from the Bermuda Triangle — via a seance — with an entourage of super-natural friends in tow.

Comic hijinks en-sues when Fester and company pay a visit to This Blood’s For You, a Transylvanian bur-lesque club staffed by vampires.

The hip-shaking, rump-smacking dance

number that follows is guaranteed to raise a few eyebrows as a cast of “vamps and bur-lesque queens” snakes its way through the crowd, draping boas around audience members’ necks.

Cameos by witches, ghouls and famil-iar Addams Family members — includ-ing Michael Pickard as “gorgeous” Gomez and Carol Fowler as the “marvelous” Mor-tisha — round out a show that’s “so comi-cal you’ll die laughing,” Adams said.

Spooktacular will feature a costume contest, too, Adams said, offering one and all a chance to “dress up, dress down —

scare all the folks in town!”

Spooktacular runs from Thursday, Oct. 31 through Sunday, November 3 at the Mount Brenton Golf Club.

Sunday’s show has already sold out, but tickets are still avail-able for the troupe’s first three showings.

Cocktails will be served at 5 p.m. with a deluxe buffet dinner — crafted by Clubhouse Catering — scheduled for 6 p.m. The curtain rises at 7 p.m.

Tickets cost $25 per person and are avail-able at the Mount Brenton Golf Club, Chemainus Foods and 49th Parallel Grocery in Chemainus.

Cowichan LMG Pringle has yet to give up a goalDon BodgerTHE CHRONICLE

The first battle of the Div. 1 Island Soccer League heavyweights goes as a no-decision.

Both Cowichan LMG Pringle and Bays United are fine with that. The teams fought to a scoreless result Friday night (Sept. 20) at Sher-man Road Park’s Bill Keserich Field.“It was a hard-fought

game without a doubt,’’ said Cowichan coach Glen Martin.

The rainy evening with wet grass was a great equalizer.

Cowichan had three glorious chances in the late stages.“I thought we were go-

ing to pull it out, but we didn’t,’’ said Martin.

He was still happy with the point under the circumstances.“The last few times we

played them, they beat us,’’ Martin said of the defending Jackson Cup champs. “It would have been exciting to pull it out at the end.’’

Bays was playing without top scorers Jor-die Hughes and Greg Fiddick, which limited its attack.

In the second half, “they kind of sat back and tried to slow the game down,’’ Martin said.

Joel Wilson made especially big save en route to his third straight shutout to start the season and continued a remarkable Cowichan streak. That’s nine consecutive league games dating back to last

season that Cowichan has not sur-rendered a goal.

Cowichan has a bye this week and then plays on the road the following weekend against Prospect Lake.

Cowichan’s scoreless draw follows a 1-0 victory over Nanaimo Sept. 14 in Nanaimo.

Cowichan LMG Prin-gle is picking up right where it left off last season with flawless defence, as this game was the second straight shutout for Joel Wilson.“In the last 20 league

games, we’ve given up eight goals,’’ said Mar-tin. “We’re confident. We’re obviously priding ourselves on that.’’

Dan Citra scored the lone goal to beat Nanaimo at the 65-min-ute mark on a cross from Steve Scott. Citra beat his defender to the ball and headed it in to the far post.

Scott, formerly of Sooke, was dangerous throughout just his sec-ond game since joining Cowichan.“He’s only got the one

(goal), but he’s created six really good chances for himself,’’ said Mar-tin. “It’ll come.’’

The Cowichan-Nanaimo game went pretty much as expected, with two really strong teams battling it out.“They had a good team,’’ said Martin.

“They played well. We didn’t play as well as I thought we could. We did what we had to do. We gave up a lot of free kicks outside our box. They didn’t do too much with them.’’

VIRTANEN, Hilkka OrvokkiRakas aiti, sisko, kaikki vauvasta vaarin, loistava, tati, ja ystavani(Beloved mother, sister, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, and special friend)Hilkka Orvokki Virtanen was born May 5, 1925, in Finland and passed away peacefully on Sept. 18, 2013.Predeceased by her husband of 59 years, Erkki, and her beautiful granddaughter, Taunya. Hilkka is survived by her sons Leo (Sandy), Tauno (Sue-Anne), Harry (Lauri); her grandchildren Janine, Jeff (Lisa), Dan (Chrystyne), Linsey, Trevor (Erin), Erik (Tasha), Lizzie (Andrew); her sister Aino (Paavo), nephew Ake (Eva), niece Margareth from Sweden; and 13 great-grandchildren plus numerous family members in Finland and Sweden.After leaving Finland in 1952, Hilkka settled in Ladysmith, B.C. with Erkki, where they raised three boys and slowly made their way “up the hill” from 1st Avenue to Stillin Drive to Malone Road. Hilkka loved her crafts, her gardening, her baking, and most of all, her growing family. Her gentle spirit and caring heart fi lled her house with love, where the door was always open to family and friends for tea (or coffee), stories, laughter, or simply quiet company while listening to Finnish music. Hilkka’s lettus, pulla, and her famous rice dish are legendary among her loving family. Throughout her years in Ladysmith, Hilkka could also be found at birthdays and holiday get-togethers, and around the town supporting her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren at any number of local events. Her love, kindness, and presence in our lives will be dearly missed.Though Hilkka remained self-suffi cient in her own home until a month before her passing, she spent her last month in the Palliative Care wing of Nanaimo General Hospital. Her family would like to thank Dr. Julian Lisinski and the incredible Palliative Care staff from the depths of their hearts.There will be a Celebration of Life tea at 2:00 P.M. on Tuesday, Sept. 24 at 825 Malone Road.
