Pat Edge was a ‘model volunteer’ Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE

You can’t look very far without finding an organization in Ladysmith that has been touched by Pat Edge. An active and dedicated volunteer, Edge, who passed away June 29, is being remembered for her passion for helping others, particularly seniors. Edge was instrumental in starting up the Seniors Office at the Ladysmith Resources Centre Association (LRCA). “Pat became really involved in it when she took on the role of being the go-to person for seniors and seniors programming,” said LRCA executive director Dennis Lait. “She was at the centre almost every day. She was a model volunteer — you couldn’t ask for a better volunteer

because of her commitment to what she did and to seniors. “What I think about Pat is she’ll be missed at the Resources Centre, and it’s been a tremendous loss for this community and seniors in particular with her passing.” While Edge did all this work, her husband Gordon was always by her side, and often Edge received recognition for her work, but her husband wasn’t mentioned, noted Lait. “We found that Pat was one of those people who didn’t want to take the credit for everything she did,” he said. “When that recognition was identified and shared as recognizing her contribution and her husband’s, that was one of the greatest pleasures she could get.” In August 2010, Edge’s leadership and experience working with See Seniors’ Advocate Page 3

Maureen Martin met Kit Willmot before she had even moved to Ladysmith, and she was “just fascinated” by how much he knew about the town. Martin, who is president of the Ladysmith and District Historical Society, had purchased a house in Ladysmith in 1996 with her husband Garry. Martin was interested in history and in getting to know the town, and she found Willmot’s name as the only contact for the Ladysmith Historical Society. She phoned him from Vancouver, Willmot invited the Martins to visit him the next time they were in Ladysmith. “I was fascinated by him because he knew so much,” said Martin. “We went to his place, and he was digging

out this and that — he was just so interesting.” Willmot’s incredible knowledge of Ladysmith’s history and his passion for his community are being remembered this week after he passed away July 3. Willmot, who was born Aug. 10, 1925, in London, England, was well-known for his work with the Ladysmith and District Historical Society. He was the society’s corresponding secretary up until about a month ago when he said he was too ill to continue this role. “He held the historical society together during a period of time when it would have ceased to exist if it wasn’t for him, and we’re forever grateful for that,” said Martin. Martin nominated Willmot for the Citizen of the Year award, which he See Willmot Page 3

Seniors’ advocate remembered Pat Edge from Page 1 and for seniors were recognized when she was appointed to the National Seniors Council for a threeyear term. The National Seniors Council provides advice to the federal government on matters related to the well-being and quality of life of Canada’s seniors, and only 12 members are appointed. “Pat’s knowledge and experience dealing with seniors was second to none,” said Lait. “You might be able to categorize her work with seniors as being a passion.” Edge volunteered for the Community Policing Station since its beginnings in 1997. She was an active volunteer until 2011, serving with Citizens on Patrol for seven and a half years and with Speed Watch for three and a half years, as well as working one half-day a week in the Community Policing Station. “She was very giving,” said Audrey Ballegeer, the volunteer co-ordinator with Community

Edge met her future husband while in Grade 12, and she and Gordon married in Calgary in 1953. They were married for nearly 55 years and had two daughters. The Edges retired to Ladysmith in September 1995, and they both quickly became involved in their community through various volunteer positions.

Willmot was ‘such a fixture’ Kit Willmot from Page 1 won in 2005. “He’s such a fixture,” she said. “He’s just done so many things for this town. He was really quiet, but he was always busily doing something.” Wi l l m o t a n d h i s wife Molly moved to Ladysmith in 1989. Willmot quickly became very involved in his community. He wrote historical articles for the local media, helped produce the Ladysmith centennial book and worked with Viola Cull to produce a Ladysmith history book. Willmot also volunteered with Meals on Wheels, the Ladysmith Health Care Auxiliary, the Morden Mine Society and St. John’s Anglican Church. Willmot played an important role in starting the Ladysmith Food Bank in 1998. “Kit was instrumental in getting all that up and was part of that initial group that formulated the running

of the food bank,” said Dennis Lait, executive director of the Ladysmith Resources Centre Association. Lait says what Willmot brought most to the food bank was his passion. “He was very dedicated to volunteerism, and he was very dedicated to helping other people,” he said. “I would think that his dedication was almost infectious. He inspired other people to be involved. I think that

would probably be the biggest thing.” On behalf of the food bank, a few individuals are organizing a food drive as a tribute to Willmot and all he contributed to the food bank and to the community. Willmot knew about the food drive before he passed away. “We wanted to do something so he knew we appreciate what he’s done,” said Rob Johnson, one of the organizers of Kit’s

Police respond to thefts and accidents

LINDSAY CHUNG/CHRONICLE

Jack Rumney of Nanaimo (centre) receives a weekend bag filled with $1 million in fake money and a bottle of champagne from Air Canada Express senior lead agent Norm Schmidt (left) and Nanaimo Airport president and CEO Mike Hooper as the Nanaimo Airport’s millionth passenger.

Millionth passenger flies through Nanaimo Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE

For the past four years, Jack Rumney of Nanaimo has been flying in and out of the Nanaimo Airport every 10 days for a job as a pipe fitter in Fort McMurray. But none of those flights were quite as exciting as the flight he took Tues., July 3 when he was identified as the Nanaimo Airport’s one-millionth passenger as part of the airport’s A Million and Beyond campaign. “It feels great; it feels terrific,” Rumney told reporters in the terminal building. “I was sitting in the passenger lounge, and I just went to my tablet, and Mike [Hooper, the airport’s CEO and president] introduced me, and it was quite a surprise. I’m still in shock.” Staff at the Nanaimo Airport knew the millionth passenger would be flying on an incoming or outgoing flight July 3, so each passenger travelling on those two flights received a millionth passenger gift pack, which included a travel journal, a liquids travel set and a reusable storage pouch for ear buds. Rumney had his name drawn as the millionth passenger and received a leather weekend bag and a bottle of champagne, along with the gift pack.He also qualified for a chance to win $1 million in the airport’s Thanks A Million contest. In the Thanks A Million contest,

Rumney and 30 others — who have qualified through weekly draws — will be invited to the Nanaimo Airport’s Thanks A Million event July 26 and will have one attempt to win $1 million by opening a safe by cracking the five-digit code. They will also be eligible for other prizes, including a oneyear lease of a Jetta from Harbourview Volkswagen, a oneweek stay at Origin at Longwood, a 47-inch LED Samsung TV from McKays Home Theatre Centres, a pair of season tickets to the 201213 Spotlight Series at the Port Theatre, $25 gift certificates from Mr. Mikes and golf goody bags from Canadian Western Bank. When asked what he thinks his chances are of winning the $1 million, Rumney remarked they are “better than yesterday.” “I feel great,” he said. “I feel lucky.” Hooper was excited to celebrate this milestone with the community. “Really, what the millionth passenger program is about is saying thank you to the community for supporting the Nanaimo Airport,” he said. “We’ve had record years the last two years, and we’re on track for another record year in 2012. We ’ v e g o n e f r o m 70-per-cent reliability to over-99-per-cent reliability for all of 2011, so we’re starting to better service the community and the community in return is starting to use Nanaimo Airport

more and more for their transportation decisions.” The Gaining Altitude — A Million and Beyond campaign is the next step in the a i r p o r t ’s m a n a g e d growth strategy that saw the completion of a two-phase expansion plan between 2006 and 2011. During that time, 913,000 passengers travelled through the Nanaimo Airport. Along with a larger terminal, more parking and faster passenger screening and baggage handling, the 2011 completion of the airport expansion plan also extended its runways to accommodate commercial jet landings and added high-intensity runway lights, lead-in lights and a new instrument landing system to improve all-weather reliability.

Opinion YOUR WORDS

Coming together in the face of death

“We can’t ease their pain, but maybe we can help with the financial burden.” Necole Young, Page 3

here’s a Czech proverb that says “do not protect yourself from grief by a fence, but rather by your friends.” And in the past week, members of our community have been gathering as friends — whether they know each other or not — to try to offer some comfort to those suffering loss. In the face of sadness and tragedy, our community is responding the best way possible — by coming together to help each other while honouring the lives of those we’ve lost. As soon as they heard about five-year-old Jaedyn Amann’s tragic death at a soccer field in the Yukon, family and friends started setting up a trust fund for parents Tara Hicks and Paul Amann and began planning ways to raise money for the family. Details haven’t been finalized yet, but there will be a garage sale and beer and burger night. An account has also been set up at the bottle depot. There aren’t many words you can offer at a time like this, but you can try to help make sure they have one less thing to worry about and show them our support. Ladysmith lost two very prominent citizens to illness in Pat Edge and Kit Willmot in the last 10 days or so as well. They both contributed so much to the community and were tireless volunteers, giving so much of themselves to help others through many different organizations and groups. Willmot’s death has also spawned action in the community. A group of individuals have started Kit’s Last Food Drive on behalf of the Ladysmith Food Bank to raise money and food for an important community service that Willmot was instrumental in founding. Donations can be dropped off at the 49th Parallel Grocery Store and Safeway until Sunday, and donations will be collected at Sunday’s Concerts in the Park performance at Transfer Beach. The food drive is a way to thank Willmot for all he has done and to do something good for others in his name. If anything positive can come out of death, it is stories such as these about rallying together. — The Chronicle

Rough seas ahead for BC Ferries BC Views by Tom Fletcher

C Ferries has begun its summer schedule, ramping up sailings for the vacation season that is crucial to the fleet’s bottom line. It’s been rough sailing for BC Ferries so far this year. The corporation released its financial results in June, reporting a net loss of $16.5 million, compared to net earnings of $3.8 million the previous year. Last year’s earnings were boosted by the sale of the former corporate headquarters for $9.3 million, preventing a loss there as well. In the fiscal year that ended March 31, vehicle traffic was down 3.5 per cent, and walkon passengers were down 2.8 per cent. BC Ferries is forecasting a “small loss” for this year as well. The spring “Coast Saver” sale has just ended. That’s a 37-per-cent discount offered Fridays through Mondays, May 25 to June 25 on the major runs from

the mainland to Victoria and Nanaimo. The discounts allowed a foot passenger to cross for $9.95 and a car and driver for $39.95. I asked BC Ferries CEO Mike Corrigan last week how the sale went. He didn’t have final figures yet, but he allowed that the boost in traffic was “marginal.” It’s the second year that the spring sale has been offered over weekends, when people are more likely to travel. But instead of generating additional trips, Corrigan said the main effect has been to shift traffic from midweek to weekends. One of the primary reasons for this spring’s poor performance is the lousy weather that kept people at home. Gasoline at $1.40 a litre is another big one. Hotels and other tourism services tell the same story. Here’s another problem: student traffic on the ferries was down by a third this spring, because teachers cancelled field trips as part of their lengthy workto-rule campaign.

Vol. 103, #49, 2012

The simplistic political debate about ferry service starts and ends with rising fares, with occasional fits of temper over executive salaries, and ignores the other factors. Just cut the fares and increase the taxpayer subsidy, say the NDP and their local echo chambers. Taxpayers are already pitching in an extra $80 million this year, bringing the subsidy to the ferries close to $200 million. That’s how Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom sweetened the pot as he unveiled new powers for B.C. Ferry Commissioner Gord Macatee to set service levels and regulate fares. Macatee’s task now is to travel the coast and endure the demands of island dwellers who want the rest of us to subsidize their splendid isolation. The proposition for them will boil down to this: You can pay more or you can have fewer sailings. And where the boat is a third full, you will have fewer sailings. This consultation period is an opportunity to ask some

hard questions. For instance, does Saltspring Island really need three ferry terminals? And why is there no passenger-only service? Macatee’s term as commissioner started with a detailed review last year that pointed to some other ways to save serious money. But CEO Corrigan says there are no quick fixes. FortisBC has offered an $11 million incentive for conversion of marine vessels to natural gas, which would give the fleet significant relief from spiraling fuel costs. But a ferry conversion would take six months or more, and another vessel would be needed in the meantime. Another promising suggestion is overhauling the ferry reservation service, making reservations free and charging extra for those who just show up. Corrigan says a computer reservation overhaul is underway, but it will take three years. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press newspapers.

What is trusteeship? Editor: When you run for public office as a school trustee, you run to make things better for students or you run to help your political friends. Your job is to do your creative best with what you have. That means you have to support initiatives that will best meet the students’ needs. That means doing things differently. Special needs student are often the center of the debate, being identified as the cause for teach-

er stress. Yet, we do not address the fact that the “inclusionary” model is extremely expensive but not working very well. Special needs students need special needs schools staffed by teachers and aides trained to meet special needs. Isn’t it time to reconstruct the education system in B.C.? Let’s start with a new calendar. Like in Britain, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, basically six weeks in session and two-week breaks. Then, let’s develop new curricula that reflect the needs of this century, one that gives the trades equal importance with the university track. The kids cannot wait for education to keep up with them and train them for their future. I was proud to be a trustee, and I know four others in Cowichan who understand the true role of trusteeship and who stood up for the students and taxpayers.

gentleman named Kit Willmot, whose phone number was the only contact with the Ladysmith Historical Society that I could find. Kit invited us to drop by his home on our next visit to Ladysmith. We spent a fascinating hour with Kit, who was the only member of the Historical Society at that time. He had done an incredible amount of research and was a veritable encyclopedia of information about Ladysmith. By the time we actually moved here in 2001, the Historical Society was two years into its rebirth. Terry Pollock had been elected president, with Kit as corresponding secretary, and the group was now meeting regularly. I started attending right away. Those were interesting meetings — with Ray Knight attending and bringing us fascinating bits of Ladysmith’s history each month. Kit was always a part of it. He had recorded most of the graves in the Ladysmith cemetery. He seemed to be our resident expert on just about everything — tracing the history of many of the town’s buildings, learning and sharing about the interesting people who made up this town. After the Archives was started about four years ago, Kit could mostly be found back in the “stacks” researching something or another. He added to his store of knowledge daily. He never stopped learning and searching. We will miss Kit’s quiet presence in our lives. Things just won’t be the same without him.

Harris is an active member of the Stz’uminus community, where he contributes by being involved in the Men’s Group. The organization meets once a week to assist others around the community by painting fences, fundraising and donating to the children’s organizations and cultural gatherings. His work — and his life — is about giving back to the community and culture that surrounds him. Harris plans to continue carving, and a goal of his is to learn to paint and use acrylics as well. He recently won a logo contest for the logo for the Stz’uminus soccer team. He said he has always felt welcome at the Ladysmith Arts Council, and it is hoped that his presence in shows continues.

NOTICE of 2011 ANNUAL MUNICIPAL REPORT AND MEETING

Runaway Train is one of the featured bands at this year’s Chemainus Bluegrass Festival, which is taking place this Saturday at Waterwheel Park and Sunday at the Chemainus Legion.

Bluegrass bands gathering in Chemainus this weekend Fans of bluegrass and old-time acoustic music are in for quite a treat this weekend in Chemainus. The Chemainus Bluegrass Festival, scheduled for July 14 and 15, will feature some great names in those musical genres. The band Runaway Train will be visiting from Washington, allowing Vancouver Island audiences to enjoy the banjo wizardry of 17-year-old Luke Dewhirst. Dewhirst has been sponsored by OME banjos since the age of seven and is a winner of the Rockygrass banjo contest in Colorado. Runaway Train also features upright bassist Kent Powell, previously of the popular band Crossfire, with whom Powell played at the Bluegrass Showdown in Owensborough, Kentucky. The band is rounded out with wellknown northwest bluegrass stalwart Greg Linder on guitar and vocals and mandolinist Nolan Elwell. The Chemainus Bluegrass Festival will be presenting the June Bugs from Calgary. This is a five-piece band which provides a unique and unforgettable sound with its four-part, all-female harmonies. The four ladies — Renay EngFisher on upright bass, Audrey Guagliano on mandolin and guitar, Sue Anne Borer on autoharp and Christie Simmons on guitar and banjo — are joined by

The Mid-Isle Highlanders FC women’s reserve team may be the new kids on the turf, but that hasn’t stopped them from turfing the competition. With only one loss in the regular season, the team is sitting at the top of the crop as the Pacific Coast Soccer League Challenge Cup approaches July 28-29 in Chilliwack. “They’ve been playing really nice soccer,” said James Merriman, Mid-Isle Highlanders FC manager. The fledgling team is a good mix of about 15 to 20 seasoned university players and talented high school players from across central Va n c o u v e r I s l a n d , including Ladysmith and Cowichan. “You’ve got young players that are just getting into the higherlevel soccer and then they’ve got a good

The Ladysmith Golf Club (LGC) is hosting its annual free golf for kids program this week. This year, the club is limiting the program to 18 kids to allow for more one-on-one instruction for participants. “The whole purpose of it is to give youth a constructive thing to do and learn a sport that will carry them for the rest of their lives,” said Rob Johnson, program organizer. The program will be held July 10, 12, 17 and 19 from 2-4 p.m. At press time Monday, there were still six to make it into the mid-Island is very the regular season spaces open. playoffs. well represented in ends.

Success for inaugural Stz’uminus tourney Niomi Pearson THE CHRONICLE

Plenty of soccer athletes from across Va n c o u v e r I s l a n d got their kicks at the Stz’uminus First Annual Soccer Tournament held Canada Day weekend in Ladysmith. “It was an overwhelming success; we got so much feedback from everybody stating how they’re going to come back next year and how well organized we were,” said Stz’uminus Soccer director Tim Harris. A total of 22 teams participated in the tournament June 29 to July 1 at several fields throughout the community, and there were plenty of side games played between 30 teams of U5 to U14 children. Ladysmith was well represented, with three local women’s teams and two men’s teams. “None of them placed first, second or third, but they played very well. It was pretty tight competition; there were

a lot of out-of-town teams that came in that were really good,” Harris said. Interestingly enough, the top three winners in both the women’s and men’s finals happened to be from the same community. In first place was the Alert Bay men and women’s soccer teams, while Cowichan’s men’s and women’s teams took second-place spots. In third place was Saanich. Harris said he was pleased with the amount of support received by neighboring communities and said the committee was very appreciative of the help they received from the Town of Ladysmith and supporting businesses who helped make the tournament a success. Plans are already in the works for next year’s soccer tournament. “We’ll come together as a committee leading up to the tournament and see how we can Above, Cowichan (black jersey) ladies keep possession of the ball against Port Alberni make it bigger and bet- at Forrest Field while below, a Cowichan (white jersey) player scores a goal at Ladysmith Intermediate School field.

Golf Course. “We’re proud of a lot of the kids that have come through here,” he said. Johnson said he would like to see more youth out on the Ladysmith Golf Course, which is a nine-hole, par-three course suited to all ages and level of players. The course’s junior golf program allows young players aged eight to 18 unlimited rounds of golf at an annual rate of $100. “Where else as a parent can you invest $100 and keep your kids occupied in something constructive and learning life lessons?” Johnson asked. “It’s not like hockey or basketball — when you get to a certain age, you don’t play as much, but golf will stay with you for the rest of your life.” For those unable to take advantage of the free golf lessons, there will be an open juniors golf tournament at the course Aug. 11. Entrance is $5, but there are plenty of prizes to be given out. To register for the free golf lessons or tournament, call 250-245-7313.

A husband, father, son, brother, co-worker or friend, Dan was a man of great integrity and humility, coupled with a quick wit and a tender side that his family knew and adored. Dan will leave a huge void in the lives of many. Dan and his wife & soul mate Sue were a team to be reckoned with. For nearly 37 wonderful years they shared many adventures and life lessons. Together they raised their 2 children who he could not have been prouder of. His son Bruce (Katie) and daughter Erin (Tavish, Avery and Josh) were the lights of his life.

Dan grew up in Saltair, attending Mount Brenton Elementary School, then Chemainus Secondary School. He continued on to U.B.C., graduating with a degree in Forestry.

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved father on July 3rd 2012 at home, surrounded by his loving family.

Dan spent all of his working life in the forest industry in Prince George and Quesnel. He began with Rustad Brothers in P.G. Through hard work and determination he rose through the ranks working for Northwood, Canfor in P.G., Weldwood and most recently was the General Manager of the Quesnel Canfor division.

Dad was born in London, England, in 1925 and came to Canada in 1989 to be with his son and family in Ladysmith. Forever a family man, his other passion was for his community. He gave his time and unceasing energy to numerous community activities.

Dan is predeceased by his mother Nora Alexander and is survived by his father David Alexander along with sisters Norene (Brian Hawkins) and Jody (Jerry Berry). He also leaves behind in-laws Don, Nancy and Neil MacDougall as well as many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins.

Mourned by son Chris, daughter Jenny, daughter-inlaw Lynda, grandchildren Emily (Nathan), Anthony, Deborah, Ian and three great grand-daughters.
