New Terry Fox Run volunteers needed Niomi Pearson The Chronicle
Ladysmith community service coordinator Anita McLeod wants to see the Terry Fox Run get a muchneeded leg up from the community. McLeod, who has served as the key organizer for the town’s Terry Fox Run for more than two decades, is on the search for local residents who may be interested in carrying on that torch in the coming years. “If we can recruit people to build a community committee for next year, I would be very happy with that,” she said. “It needs to be owned by the community again for that stature to be regained because it’s certainly something people feel an emotional tug to.” The 2012 Terry Fox Run takes place in Ladysmith on Sun., Sept. 16 at the Frank Jameson Community Centre (FJCC). Entry is by donation, and there is no minimum pledge amount required. The run start time is moving back to the morning, and registration begins at 10 a.m., with the run to follow at 11 a.m. Participants complete the 2.5-kilometre loop as many times as they wish within the two-hour time frame. Registration will be left open at the start of the run for those unable to

make it right at 11 a.m. Last year, Ladysmith’s event had 122 participants and 18 volunteers. Collectively, a total of $3,055 was raised. “There is no doubt that the event will once again be successful, but what my hope has been was that it would grow again to some of its former prominence in the community,” McLeod said. While organizing the run is not an onerous task, McLeod wants to see a co-ordinator in place by spring to be able to send for expenses-paid training in Vancouver and be ready to start co-ordinating by June. A limited number of Terry Fox T-shirts are now available for sale at FJCC for $17. “It’s a very intriguing graphic design; I think people will like the shirt,” McLeod said. There is still time for interested parties to sign up to volunteer at the event. Anyone interested in volunteering can contact McLeod at 250245-6427 or amcleod@ladysmith.ca. “The Terry Fox Run is nothing without volunteers,” McLeod said. “You probably have a special place in your heart for Terry, and if you’d like to participate in a way that’s more meaningful for you and the rest of the community, come on out.”

crucial for people to abide by campfire rules and, if permitted, to use them with extreme caution at all times. “I think people assume that because they’re in a grate, that they’re not going to go anywhere; however, if you get a light wind on it, it might spark up,” she said. Campfires should be kept to regulation size (a half-metre high by a half-metre wide or smaller) and should be properly extinguished. “That means water, stirring and actually being able to put your hand into the [extinguished] fire and it be cool to the touch,” Drysdale said. “It’s called cold trailing, and it’s what our crews do on a fire.” Within the Coastal Fire Centre jurisdiction, there is currently no campfire ban, but

Singer-songwriter Kendall Patrick receives a bouquet of flowers from one of her biggest fans, Muriel Copp, right before her performance last Sunday during Ladysmith Days. Copp was helped to the stage by Patrick’s father, Jim.
Kendall Patrick’s music connects generations Lindsay Chung
The Chronicle
Eighty-two-year-old Muriel Copp says if she could have gotten down near the stage at the Transfer Beach Amphitheatre to dance while Kendall Patrick was playing during Ladysmith Days, she would have. But instead of dancing, she presented the Ladysmith-born, Nanaimo-based singer-songwriter with a bouquet of flowers just before her set last Sunday evening. Copp, who lives in Ladysmith, tries to go to all of Patrick’s shows. She says she can’t think of a favourite song because she likes everything Patrick does. “I like all her music because I feel it,” she said. “I don’t sing along. On Sunday, I saw all the young kids dancing, and I wanted to dance too. I said to Kendall, ‘would you be embarrassed if I danced?’ and she said no, she would have danced with me. “What I noticed was there was such a bridge between generations. All the seniors were all tapping their toes, and the younger ones were doing their thing … she’s touching all of us. I don’t sing along, but I listen. If we could’ve got down there, we would’ve danced because it got through to us.”
Copp was a house- “I’ve got some fans who keeper in the hospital are from all different and was there the day age ranges, and I find Patrick was born. that really cool that my “I said to [her father] music touches people Jimmy ‘when I heard of all ages.

Patrick, 25, really appreciates having fans who span the generations. “That was really, really sweet,” she said.
is the right word,” said Patrick. “I get in periods of doubt so often, and I think it’s going to take forever to make something of my music … it just feels like a gift of grace or something when someone is showing their appreciation of what I do. “It’s not about me; it’s about who I’m able to help or give enjoyment to. It gets me out of my head and alleviates all the pressure ... It’s kind of a like a spiritual journey in that sense. It is a lot like service to others. It starts with me writing about myself and then transcends to other people’s lives, and that makes it more worthwhile and enjoyable to me when it helps other people.”

Mitch Wright’s on the move

Your Words “It’s really a love affair with clay.” Jo Duffhues, Page 1

e thought you might be interested in hearing about former Chronicle editor Mitch Wright’s latest move. Mitch left the Nanaimo News Bulletin Aug. 10 for a communications job in Victoria. Here is a taste of his goodbye column: My first stories for Black Press were about spraying for gypsy moths, a province-wide nurses’ strike and a psychic fair. I rolled into Ladysmith on a Thursday night, leaving a five-month hitch in Prince Rupert covering sports, and unpacked some bare necessities through the night and into the morning. I reported to the LadysmithChemainus Chronicle office sometime around noon on Friday and was handed those three assignments, as well as a photo assignment the following day. I didn’t really know what I was getting into, having reported almost exclusively on sports until then. But that was that. Ladysmith became my home. I took over as editor about 18 months later and spent four years in that job, bounced to the Goldstream News Gazette for a couple years and then back up-Island to the News Bulletin. I’ve been here for going on six years, almost five as editor. But as you read this, I have left working full-time in newspapers behind. It’s been almost 14 years since I turned my little black pickup off the Island Highway into Ladysmith, my first real glimpse at the beautiful seaside town despite spending most of the past six years in Nanaimo, attending classes at what was then Malaspina University-College. I am leaving full-time newspaper work to switch to communications at the University of Victoria. There are parts of this industry I won’t miss at all, and far more aspects — and people — that I will. But after 14 years, it’s time to take on a new challenge and open some doors on potential new opportunities. And in reality, I’ve accomplished most of the goals I set out with (other than maintaining a full head of hair). We wish Mitch all the best as he embarks on his new adventure! — The Chronicle

Time for investment in forests BC Views
by Tom Fletcher
T
he B.C. government’s emergency committee on timber supply has produced its report, but it leaves many of the big questions unanswered. Can the Burns Lake sawmill, destroyed by fire last winter, be given enough timber to rebuild? It’s likely, committee members concluded, if areas that are currently considered “marginally economic” are harvested. With nearly half the pine in that region dead from beetle infestation, and much of the better timber already cut, that means harvesting areas that would produce only about two-thirds of the volume that is currently considered economical to log. Will eight more sawmills have to close once the beetle-killed timber becomes too degraded to cut in the next few years? Committee members hold out hope that extending the cut to less economic timber stands can reduce this impact as well. But with the

current cut far above historical levels to maximize beetle-kill harvest, some industry contraction seems inevitable. All this depends on adequate forest inventory and investment in replanting, fertilizing and provision of additional roads and power lines that would allow access to timber and potential bioenergy development. And that is where the political fight lies ahead. The timber supply committee delivered a unanimous report, despite the harsh divisions between the B.C. Liberal and NDP members who serve on it. NDP forest critic Norm Macdonald, vice-chair of the committee, agreed it did good work during the seven months it toured affected areas of the Interior. But he said the roots of the problem go back a decade, to when the B.C. Liberals started reducing support for forest health just as the beetle epidemic was spreading. Ten years ago, the government removed the obligation for the province to reforest areas affected by

disease and fire. This was not only at the peak of the epidemic, but it was one year before devastating wildfires raced through the Interior in the summer of 2003. “In 2002, the government removed its obligation to replant those areas and cut the budget by 90 per cent,” Macdonald told me. “The three-year budget that’s in front of us is keeping on the downward slide, and it’s not what people in communities are saying is the answer. So that has to change.” The opposition, the auditor general and various forest experts have been blasting the government for the degraded state of the timber inventory, at a time when environmental changes have been sweeping. Steve Thomson, minister of the newly-amalgamated forests, lands and natural resource operations ministry, points to the urgent efforts to upgrade the government’s detailed picture of the state of the forests, so it can consider new cutting, planting and fertilizing efforts. But there’s no deny-
ing that he came to the job in a crisis that will take more spending in the future, and he will have a hard time finding it as Finance Minister Kevin Falcon looks to balance the books for the 2013 election. If nothing else, the pine beetle epidemic has forced the B.C. government to consider some of the intensive forest management that we hear about in Scandinavia, one of those places that supplies B.C. with wood furniture. And it has prompted renewed interest in offering new forest tenures to aboriginal communities with unresolved resource claims. Under current law, the government can only award new forest tenures to aboriginal communities. So part of the committee’s proposed solution is to “expedite negotiations” with the Burns Lake First Nations to give them a chance to harvest some of the marginally economic forest areas that remain. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press newspapers.

Swimmer thanks everyone who has helped her out
Your View
Editor: After 10 years of competitive swimming, many tough practices and close races, I think back and realize I didn’t enjoy swimming just for the swimming aspect, but also for the people I was able to meet throughout the years. Many of these people helped and supported me in some way — whether they were a coach, parent, community member or a friend, they were there, even if I did not realize it at the time, to help with my technique, bottle drives and swim-a-thons. Without their dedication and support, I probably would not be swimming today, so thank you to the coaches: Scott Flood, Jennifer LeBlanc, Nick Templman, Tony Theriault, Dusan Toth-Szabo, Bev VandenDungen and Melody Smythies (high school swimming). A huge thank you to all the board members over the years for the Ladysmith-Chemainus and Nanaimo Riptides swim teams, and to all the sponsors who supported these two teams. I especially want to thank my mom, who was my personal alarm clock for those early-morning practices, my taxi driver and greatest supporter. Kara DeClark Ladysmith
People of Ladysmith made hit-and-run less unpleasant Editor: We stopped in Ladysmith for a lunch break on Aug. 5 on the way back from a holiday up-Island, and while we were eating, a hitand-run driver crashed into our minivan parked on First Avenue, rendering it undriveable. While the experience could have soured us on your town, it had the opposite effect, thanks to the good people of Ladysmith. We are especially grateful to

Secondly, the reality. Why would you never take back a former spouse from a previous divorce to recreate the nightmare but are willing to do it to change the government? As B.C. is a business investment province and investment does not agree with NDP governments, can the NDP guarantee that you will not get a layoff slip from your place of employment if in fact they become government?

Couple still finds excitement in clay TIDES
From Page 1 different things. There are potters who stick with a tried and true formula, and that’s what they do, but I couldn’t do that myself — there are just too many things that excite me.” Vic first became interested in pottery through Jo. “Jo had taken it up as a hobby, and as newlyweds, we did everything together,” he said. “Myself, I had not much interest in it because I thought it was clunky and overpriced.” But that all changed when Vic and Jo, who were living near Lindsay, Ont., at the time, attended a workshop in Waterloo, Ont., and saw master potter Mick Casson. “He made these huge vases and pitchers, and what really intrigued me was he had such enthusiasm and passion,” said Vic. “I’d never seen anyone so excited about their work, and I thought ‘I want to be a potter.’ In the next week, I made more pots than I had in a year.” That was about 33 years ago. Jo and Vic have been making pottery together ever since. “I think the real privilege for us is we can do this together,” said Vic. Unlike Vic, Jo always wanted to work in clay. She recalls that in high school, her fine arts teacher

jazz.” The Chemainus Valley Cultural Arts Society (CVCAS) will present the first-ever Jubilee Jazz Festival, a oneday smorgasbord of toe-tapping talent this Saturday (Aug. 25) from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. “We’re pretty excited, and we’ve got a wonderful lineup,” said CVCAS chair Kathy Wachs. “There’s so many different kinds and flavours of jazz, and we’ve tried to represent a lot of them.” The festival kicks off with The Martys featuring Joan Wallace at 11 a.m. and will continue well into the evening. The lineup includes locals such as Al Eskelson of Cat’s Meow and Alex Watt of the Alexander Group. Other performers hail from around the Island and the mainland, including Phil Newns and Hot Velvet Jazz, Twango and the event headliner, RazzMaJazz, a Dixieland-style group. CVCAS has also partnered with the Chemainus Legion to make it a dual-venue event. From 5-7 p.m., there will be wine tasting and a burger bar at the Legion. Local wineries will be selling samples of their finest wines to the live music of Duncan’s Laura Cardriver on piano, followed by Chemainus’ George Robson on saxophone. Attendees will have the option of staying for the music or returning to the festival. “People can go pick up their burgers and come back to the park and keep enjoying the music,” Wachs said. A New Orleans-style parade is being planned as well. “It’s going to be a beautiful day under the trees,” Wachs said. “Waterwheel Park is a beautiful place; it’s
intimate and we think it’s going to be perfect for jazz.” Wachs jested that any attendees not into jazz music may find themselves converted by the end of the day. “I love all kinds of jazz — there’s a real liveliness to the music, and it’s a music that arose out of people who were in situations of great difficulty in their lives, and this music arose as that drive to live,” Wachs said. “People were determined to be happy even though under the circumstances, they had every reason to be unhappy.” She noted that the mid-Island has a strong following for jazz music. “We’ve been wanting to have a jazz festival for years because VIU has a great jazz program and has turned out some great musicians like Diana Krall and Christine Jensen,” she said. According to Wachs, Jensen, an Ontariobased musician with t i e s t o C a s s i d y, i s already in talks with the group about attending next year’s event. Volunteers will be needed to help keep the Jubilee Jazz Festival running smoothly, so if you’re able to help out, call volunteer coordinator Karen at 250416-0262. The festival is part of the Queen’s Jubilee celebration and thus funded partially by a Heritage Canada grant. Admission for those able to attend is a suggestion donation of $15, which includes the whole day and a souvenir program. The donation money will be used to subsidize the cost of the musicians, Wachs said. For more information about the festival, visit www.chemainu sjazzfestival.com.

First Avenue was filled with various makes and models of cars and motorcycles — and crowds of curious on-lookers — for the annual Ladysmith Show and Shine car show this past Saturday. Pictured clockwise from top left: a mother takes a photograph of her daughter beside one of the cars; car owners lifted the hoods to show off their engines; the Friday night Rod Run gets the thumbs up; vehicles fill the parking lot of the Ladysmith A&W before departing on the Rod Run Friday night; Candice Blackney and her son Jacob discover all the things they like about one of the cars lining First Avenue; and Harry Black shows off his 1913 LaFrance Fire Truck, which was a huge hit with spectators.
