Beef recall affects 49th Parallel, Safeway Niomi Pearson THE CHRONICLE
Ladysmith residents are being advised to check their freezers as the Public Health Agency of Canada continues its inquiry into E. coli illnesses linked to the food safety investigation at XL Foods Inc. Among the many local grocery stores affected by the beef product recall are the 49th Parallel Grocery and Safeway. According to 49th Parallel president Peter Richmond, the recall affected hamburger and sausages sold in three of their stores, including Chemainus and Ladysmith. The products include lean
ground beef with a best before date of Sept. 19 to Sept. 29, and “Our own” brand sausages in the bratwurst, sundried tomato and B’fast bacon varieties with a best before date of Sept. 22 to Sept. 30. “It was pulled immediately as soon as we were notified, and there hasn’t been any since,” said Richmond. “If you cook your beef thoroughly, there is no health risk.” Customers who have purchased recalled products are welcome to return them for a refund. The 49th Parallel chain is temporarily refraining from purchasing tubed ground beef as an added precaution, Richmond added. The last beef recall to hit Ladysmith was around May 2005,
said Richmond, adding that the company does its best to maintain Canada suppliers. “We feel we have a very safe food supply system, and the company is making changes to improve it even more,” he said. “We’re comfortable with our suppliers.” A representative from Safeway did not return the Chronicle’s phone call before press time. Information from the Canadian Public Health Agency states that products contaminated with E. coli O157 can pose a serious public health risk. Most strains of E. coli are harmless; however, some strains, such as E. coli O157: H7, can make people sick, causing severe stomach cramps, diarrhea

and vomiting. Serious complications of an E. coli O157:H7 infection can include kidney failure. If you think you are sick with an E. coli O157:H7 infection, consult a healthcare professional. As of Friday, a total of 13 cases of reported illnesses have been linked to XL Foods products — seven in Alberta, one in Newfoundland, four in Quebec and one in Nanaimo, B.C. O n S a t u r d a y, X L F o o d s announced it would be temporarily laying off up to 2,000 workers from its meat processing plant in Brooks, Alta. The plant’s license was suspended Sept. 27 after tests by U.S. and Canadian officials found E. coli in
the beef. The Brooks plant was granted permission to continue limited meat processing operations Thursday; however, it is uncertain how long it will be before it will be able to return to full operation.

Students learn that ‘Heavy Metal Rocks‘ Work experience program for youth interested in the construction industry offered for first time on Vancouver Island Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE
It’s a Thursday morning, and 17-year-old Colby Smith isn’t sitting in a classroom listening to a teacher or reading a textbook. Instead, the Ladysmith Secondary School (LSS) Grade 12 student is outdoors, dressed in a hard hat and safety vest, and he is about to learn how to operate an excavator, grader and other heavy equipment. Smith is one of 32 mid-Island high school students who participated in the new Heavy Metal Rocks three-day work experience program last week at the Vancouver Island University (VIU) Heavy Equipment Operations Site north of Ladysmith. Nanaimo-Ladysmith and Parksville-Qualicum are the first school districts on Vancouver Island to offer the program to youth interested in working in LINDSAY CHUNG/CHRONICLE the construction industry.

Gallant says the biggest thing the operators were passing on to students was a general knowledge of what’s involved with operating heavy equipment amd a good building block for whatever career they are considering. “When I first started taking the course, I had absolutely no idea what I was getting into,” she recalled “When they gave me the keys to the excavator, I didn’t know what it was. This is giving them some exposure.” McDonough hopes Heavy Metal Rocks will become an annual opportunity for local students. “This is the first time making it real,” he said. “It seems to be going really well.” Last spring, school district representatives from NanaimoLadysmith and ParksvilleQualicum went to Prince George and observed how they do it there, explained McDonough. “We’re trying to replicate it here,” he said. Heavy Metal Rocks is the result of a partnership between WorkSafeBC, VIU, School District 68, School District 69, the Vancouver Island Construction Association and approximately 20 local companies. “Heavy Metal Rocks definitely gives young people a good foundation if they’re considering a career in B.C.’s construction industry,” said David Gaskill, a WorkSafeBC occupational safety officer in the Nanaimo area. “The safety training these students are receiving will also help prepare them for work.” Greg Baynton, CEO of the Vancouver Island Construction Association, noted in a press release that the construction industry will be looking to fill the 44,000 trade positions projected for B.C. in 2012-2020. “Fifteen to 20 per cent of those positions will be on Vancouver Island, and they will include tradecertified equipment operators,” he said. “Construction is — and will continue to be — B.C.’s leading employment sector.”

What are some key areas School District 68 should focus on to support student learning and achievement? It’s a key question in the district’s strategic planning process, and the answers provided by parents, staff and students will form the district’s direction for the next five to 15 years. Last spring, the school district held meetings with all 40 school communities in the district and asked this question. Last week, district staff presented the answers it received during a strategic planning update meeting Oct. 9 at Ladysmith Secondary School. “We are preparing a strategic plan because we want to be proactive and forward-thinking about the future, and we know that strategic planning improves performance,” said SD68 communications officer Donna Reimer. “It communicates to everyone what is important and focuses the entire district on improving student learning. We believe that is going to yield great results for student learn-
ing, and that, of course, is our goal — student achievement.” Last week’s meeting was held to share with the public what the district learned from the meetings held last spring and to receive more input about the public’s priorities. More than 1,000 people participated in the meetings last spring and provided feedback online, and the district received almost 6,000 thoughts. “Of course, many of the thoughts were similar, but still, it was 6,000 individual thoughts, which was pretty exciting for us to see how many people participated and how much information we got,” said Reimer. “When we asked people online to select their priorities, they assigned almost 40,000 priority stars to the thoughts and ideas.” Last spring, the district used a public engagement software called ThoughtStream to collect people’s thoughts and find out what their priorities were. Once that information was collected, district staff worked over the summer to review the priorities and identify the major themes. The first question the district asked last spring was, “What
are some examples of things that should be celebrated and sustained in our current education system?” Many priorities came out of people’s responses, including aboriginal education, extra support for students, dedicated and caring staff, positive school climate, recognition of student success of all types, and parent engagement. “There were some things that really stood out for me,” said Reimer. “One of the things I was really pleased to see is that we are a public education system and that there is universal access ... that’s really important to us. One thing we saw people talk about over and over again was our staff and how good they are. People talked about the diversity and choice of programs, that they appreciated that and liked having that there, particularly at secondary schools. Students talked about the things they liked, more student choice; they talked about extracurricular activities, extra support for students.” The priorities that were identified for things to celebrate and See Plan Page 12

YOUR WORDS “We do everything we can to raise money to support the shelter, and it’s never enough.” Sean Jonas, Page 4
B
etween you and me, I’m terrible at saying goodbye. And I don’t mean “goodbye” in the daily hustle and bustle greeting sense of the word. When it has meaning, saying goodbye can turn this mild-mannered reporter into an awkward, stuttering mess. And let’s face it — experience has conditioned us to reject and dread goodbyes because they’re so very unpleasant. Everything from leaving a beloved first grade teacher behind to countless pets lost to the rainbow bridge teaches us that goodbyes are sad because they separate you from something you love. And with the finality of my last two weeks at the Chronicle upon us, I find myself in the difficult position of penning this public farewell. As you read these words, I will have already begun my first day back at the Chronicle’s sister paper, the Nanaimo News Bulletin. But the truth of the matter is Ladysmith doesn’t deserve a goodbye. Because that unpleasant word is not a fitting reflection of the last year and a half I have spent working in this community. In the last year and a half, I have been privileged to be able to tell your stories and capture, in photograph, your achievements, your good times and your hopes for the future. You all care about your community, and it shows. I came to Ladysmith because of my job, but I will continue to return because, like those of you who live in this community, I have come to discover what a beautiful gem little Ladysmith is. I can’t wait to see how the town continues to grow in the coming years. And whether it’s sneaking a Bouma’s deli or Old Town Bakery fix, lounging at gorgeous Transfer Beach, Festival of Lights, Brits on the Beach or the many things that make Ladysmith such a great place to be, you haven’t seen the last of me. Until next time, Ladysmith. — Niomi Pearson

Fantasies won’t keep ferries afloat BC Views
by Tom Fletcher
I
t was a sunny Thanksgiving weekend when I took my first alltransit trip from Victoria to Vancouver for a B.C. Lions football game. Despite all the doomsaying about people shunning ferries because of some media-determined “tipping point” in fares, you wouldn’t have guessed it that weekend. Articulated buses were jammed coming and going from the Tsawwassen terminal to the Canada Line. Returning to Vancouver Island on Sunday, I was struck by the crowds and the low cost: SkyTrain, express bus, walk-on passenger fare and express bus to Victoria totalled about $20. This explains the surge in walk-on traffic. BC Ferries issued bulletins advising first that Tsawwassen’s parking lot and then Swartz Bay’s were full. The Tsawwassen First Nation’s shuttle parking next door was overflowing, with cars tucked into every

level space. And even with hourly sailings, the major route had plenty of vehicle traffic, with all available vessels running. Now the long, late summer is gone, and the political theatre resumes. Transportation Minister Mary Polak picked up where the retiring Blair Lekstrom left off, reminding people that BC Ferries is going to deal with rising costs primarily by ceasing the practice of running vessels one-third full or less. This comes as “consultation” begins with smaller ferry communities on where and when these sailings will be cut. And it follows the first major price-cap decision by the newly empowered B.C. Ferry Commissioner, Gord Macatee. He now can determine service levels as well as fares, which are permitted to rise about four per cent in each of the next three years. The NDP’s ferry critic, North Coast MLA Garry Coons, has also decided to transition to his government pensions next year. But before he sails away, he has

doubled his repertoire of outraged sound bites to two. Along with every coffeeshop know-it-all on the coast, Coons perpetually reminds us that ferries are “part of our highway system.” He remains convinced that this financially illiterate cliché somehow deals with the fact that even a subsidy approaching $200 million this year can’t keep all those boats afloat forever. A family of four on a long driving trip faces similar price increases when you factor in tolls, insurance, food and other costs beyond the fuel tank. But for some reason, the “government” is supposed to provide special relief to those who choose the most inaccessible places to live. Coons’s latest tack is that BC Ferries has lost its way, trying to be a fancy cruise ship service instead of giving people basic transportation at an affordable price. That would be terrible if it were true. But those amenities on newer vessels are there because they make money, utilizing staff who have to be
on board anyway. As everyone but the NDP seems to grasp, the big costs are fuel, maintenance and minimum crew levels to meet federal regulations, regardless of passenger revenue. I was reminded on the last busy weekend of the year that the new Coastal-class ferries kept vehicle capacity the same while increasing passenger space. This choice anticipated today’s travel reality nearly a decade ago. Good thing somebody was able to understand ferries as a business, as opposed to a welfare program for the reclusive and the rich. BC Ferries has already cut sailings on the TsawwassenDuke Point route. As described in an earlier column, this needlessly long run is the biggest boondoggle in BC Ferries history, a Dave Barrett-era payoff to the union that continues today. Changes will come to other routes that minimize shifts and overtime, rather than inflating them. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press newspapers.

Dear Mr Carney, On behalf of Mid Island Sustainability and Stewardship Initiative (MISSI) and the midIsland region, we’d like to welcome you to Nanaimo, a place that some of us are referring to as the Green Gateway to Vancouver Island! Be that the greenbacks of economic sustainability, or the resilient green of nature, we’re sure you’ll enjoy your stay in the Green Gateway. Many of us are looking forward to your presentation to the VIEA State of the Island Economic Summit ... and hope the Economy and Ecology session that offers a 50-Year Vision for Vancouver Island will be of particular interest. We think this long-term approach is critical to Canada’s future, as much as it is to the Island and our local region. In the mid-Island, MISSI has been advancing a Green Gateway proposal, to bring together several outstanding natural and resource environments that also enhance eco-tourism, business, and the quality of life for residents. While the Nanaimo Port Authority rightfully points to the $60 to $70 per day that cruise ship visitors bring to the local economy, we’re also pleased to note that trail and park users of greenspace brought in an average of $100 per day back in the 1980s — probably $150 nowadays. So, economic and ecological interests can work together here for mutual benefits and long-term returns. By working with the Port Authority, economic development agencies and local governments, we’re hoping to see the proposed National Marine Conservation

The new view at the Short Close Song Shelter is up close and personal. This is a picture from the camera lens of local photographer Sean Sherstone, who attended a private house concert at Ryan and Cathleen McMahon’s on Oct. 6. About 40 Ladysmith and surrounding area residents enjoyed the intimate performance by Cory Woodward, Christopher Arruda and host Ryan McMahon. Intermission appetizers were sponsored by Bouma Meats. The view at the Song Shelter will include multiple award nominee Craig Cardiff on Nov. 16. If you would like to share your view, please submit your photos to editor@ladysmithchronicle.com. Area extended a few more kilometres to bring these economic and ecological returns to the Nanaimo Estuary and region. We’re encouraged in these efforts by such authorities as the US Department of Commerce, who concluded in a 1998 report that ... “Estuaries provide habitat for more than 75 per cent of the U.S. commercial fish catch, ... [and] contribute $4.3 billion a year to the U.S. economy.” And too, the 2010 University of Delaware economic impact study found that the Delaware upland watershed supplies drinking water and, with the estuary, contributes over $10 billion annually to the region’s economy. Which brings us upstream, to our second link in the Green Gateway — the Nanaimo River watershed. As with the Delaware study, this watershed is the region’s primary source of drinking water, has been the forest industry’s economic driver for the economy of the last 50 years, and offers ongoing, multiple sustainable benefits, includ-
trips to Port Alberni and Comox, and weekend cycling through the Gulf Islands to Victoria and back, we really are the hub and Green Gateway to Vancouver Island. You’ll find we’re quite friendly here on the Island, happy to share the wealth and, given the chance, pleased to show you around. We’re sure you’ll find Nanaimo’s sustainable development approach to our economy, social and ecological future to be one that serves the local, as well as our national, best interest. Here in Nanaimo, you’ll also find a healthy and heartfelt willingness to serve, combined with a commitment to community and conservation. We think the efforts to achieve sustainability, that sees persons like yourself and those in VIEA act to steward the world in our backyard, can encourage us all. So ... Welcome to Nanaimo Mr Carney.

Theatre holding garage sale Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE
Looking for a unique Hallowe’en costume? The Ladysmith Players Society is hoping you will look no further than the Ladysmith Little Theatre. The society is hosting a fundraising garage sale this Saturday (Oct. 20), featuring costumes, props, furniture and odds and ends.
“Some of the props, as you can imagine, are quite interesting,” said David Brown, marketing director with the Ladysmith Players Society. The garage sale will take place Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Ladysmith Little Theatre at 4985 Christie Rd. The Ladysmith Players Society is raising money to keep the Ladysmith Little
Theatre in the community. “We have to raise a lot of money,” said Brown. The Ladysmith Players Society submitted an offer to School District 68 to purchase the property at 4985 Christie Rd., and the school district is currently considering the offers that came in. If the society’s offer is successful, it will need to raise $150,000 in five years.
Brown hopes to see many people come to the garage sale to support community theatre and to see the old Diamond School, which was built in 1912. “If they come to the garage sale, the bonus is they get to see the theatre as well and see what’s been done to the old school,” he said. “While they are there, they will get a taste of the set for our next play.”
Bylaw would ensure safety of park equipment From Page 10 ation of Jaedyn’s Bylaw enforcing maintenance and safety of all playground and play field equipment.” “To lose a young person is a great tragedy, and here in Ladysmith, we have an opportunity to recognize and remember the passing of Jaedyn,” McMahon told council. “Instead of letting her memory grow dim, I think as a town, we would be much more rewarded to enforce her remembrance.” McMahon says there have been a couple of suggestions as to where that tree should go, including Transfer Beach and Forrest Field. Following McMahon’s presenta-
tion, Mayor Rob Hutchins asked if the town could explore the possibility of using a well-established Japanese maple tree he saw at the Public Works yard. Unfortunately, the town cannot plant a tree near the artificial turf at Forrest Field, noted Hutchins. Coun. Duck Paterson thought McMahon’s suggestion of an oak tree was a good one. “I think oak trees are amazing, and up at the new fields is a great location when they’re done,” he said. Town staff will bring recommendations back to council regarding a potential tree dedication and Jaedyn’s Bylaw.

enhance facilities for learning; effective use of limited financial resources; and employee engagement. This month, these priorities will be linked to the development of the school board’s district goals, which will form the foundation of the strategic plan. The first draft of the strategic plan will be developed in November, and the second and final drafts are expected to be presented to the board for consideration and a decision in December and January. About 16 people were at the LSS meeting, and school board chairman Jamie Brennan appreciated that people took the time to come to the meeting. “This is something we want to do to make a difference for students,” he said. “We want to improve our system so that our students leave School District 68 better prepared for life, and you’re helping us move in that direction, so thank you.”

North Oyster Volunteer Fire Department is Seeking New Members Ladysmith Little Theatre
640 Trans Canada Hwy Box 970, Ladysmith
OR
Former AIDS activist Josee Duffhues and the talented members of the Ladysmith Little Theatre are joining forces to bring audiences a performance that is explosive, groundbreaking and the first of its kind on the West Coast. The Normal Heart, written by Larry Kramer, tells the story of a tight-knit group of friends struggling to speak out during the AIDS epidemic of the early 1980s, and its effect on the gay community. “It was a very isolating and terrible time,” Duffhues said. “The fact that people were willing to come forward and willing to speak openly about what they were experiencing took away some of the phobia some of us had. It was also, I think, one of the reasons that the world became more compassionate.” Tackling such issues as gay marriage, homophobia, discrimination, promiscuity and sexually transmitted diseases, The Normal Heart is “a potent snapshot of culture, psychology and angst, providing audiences with a vibrant view of love and loss.” “In some ways, it’s a political thriller; in other ways, it’s an emotional drama about loss and suffering,” said Duffhues, who is directing the production. Duffhues was work-

Cowichan Pringle leads men’s Div. 1 Cowichan LMG Pringle continues to lead Div. 1 of the Island Soccer League after recording its sixth straight victory but Friday will bring the team’s toughest test of the young season. “It’s a battle for first place,’’ said Cowichan coach Glen Martin, as his team takes on Nanaimo United this Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Sherman Road Park’s Bill Keserich Field. Cowichan defeated Salt Spring Island 4-0 Saturday in Ladysmith and now has 22 goals for and just two against and 18 points. Close behind at 5-1 is Nanaimo United with a slightly less productive offence of 10 goals scored and five against with 15 points. Cowichan jumped on Salt Spring with a goal from Kevin
Brown on a nice shot at 14 minutes and a hard shot to the bottom corner for a goal at 21 minutes by last year’s leading scorer Ryan Andre for a 2-0 lead at the half. A goal by Dan Citra padded the margin 18 minutes into the second half. Andre added another marker, his fifth of the season, 35 minutes into the second half to round out the scoring. Goalkeeper Joel Wilson registered his fourth shutout in six games. George Horne, who played a strong game at left back for 90 minutes, was the man of the match for Cowichan. — Staff Writer

It wouldn’t be an incredible stretch of fancy to say that 13-year-old Nick Harder lives up to his name. “He gives 110 per cent; we sometimes have to slow him down,” says Christine Harder, Nick’s mom. “He’s very encouraging on the team, and he’s a hard worker.” Nick is a member of the Mid-Isle Soccer Club’s new rep Highlanders league in the U13 category and is enthusiastic about the step up from house league. “The other players want to be there because they have to try out to be on the team,” he said. “And they know what to do.” The mid-left fielder said he is also excited about the potential opportunity to be on a team that could play on a national level. The team will soon be traveling to play in Seattle and Vancouver, and a trip is in the works for Vegas in 2013. “I’m excited,” Nick said. Nick’s favorite school subject, fittingly, is physical education. He plays as many school sports as he can, in addition to playing with the Highlanders three times a week. Nick, a former Ladysmith Steelers quarterback, has played football for the last three years but had to give it up in the juggle between extracurricular sports and school activities. “The last year was a little overwhelming because I went into a higher age division and the [players] got a lot bigger, but it was still a lot of fun,” he said. “Coach B was a really good coach. All the players wanted to please him most of the time, no matter how hard he’d push.” The biggest lesson he said he has learned from being a Ladysmith Steeler is to never give up. It’s an attitude he has kept up on the field with the Highlanders. “Even when we’re not winning, we’re still having fun,” he said. Nick has been playing soccer since he was three years old and has hopes that playing the sport will open doors for travelling opportunities to Europe in the future. “I’ve been playing so long that I grew to love it so much ... I just found I was better at that than the other sports I’ve tried,” he said.

Yogi Berra.
BARON, William Roland Passed away peacefully with his loving family around him on October 6th, 2012. Predeceased by his wife Colleen, on April 27th, 2004, William (Bill) is lovingly survived by: his daughters Eileen (Terry) Turner, Lorraine (Jim) Addison, both of Nanaimo, BC; Vivian (Corby) Lamb, of Campbell River, BC; Tricia (Craig) Abbott, of Nanaimo, BC; son Bob (Corrie) Baron, of Port Alberni, BC; his brother Ted (sister-in-law Lenore, predeceased) Baron, of Campbell River, BC; predeceased by brother Don Baron (survived by sister-in-law Jeanette), of Comox, BC; predeceased by sister-in-law Bev Conrod (ďŹ rst wife of Don Baron) of Nanaimo, BC; survived by his sister-in-law Patricia (Len) Robinson of Chemainus, BC; his aunt Winnie Reavill of Campbell River, BC; his grandchildren: Teresa, Donna, Melanie, Jim, Lindsay, Tricia, Ryan, Denise, Patrick, Laura, and Nicole; several great-grandchildren; and nieces and nephews (predeceased by his nephew Gordon Baron). Bill was born on September 27th, 1926, to Bill and Edna Baron (both predeceased) in Powell River, BC, where he and his brothers shared wonderful memories ďŹ shing and camping with their mother. While growing up, the family moved to Vancouver Island, where in Ladysmith, Bill eventually met the love of his life, Colleen. At 19, Bill went to Vancouver alone and joined the Army at Little Mountain, he travelled as far as Toronto, but the war ended. Bill and Colleen were married for 57 years. Bill was a devoted father to his ďŹ ve children, and he and Colleen raised them primarily in Nanaimo, BC, where he built the family home in Chase River, and worked at Nanaimo Lakes for Crown Zellerbach. Within that period, the family spent a year (1964) in Kokish, BC (near Telegraph Cove), where Bill worked as a log foreman at Beaver Cove. At Kokish, the family made many friends, and Bill eagerly attended many community events, including Logger’s Sports day, where he was very good at log burling. Bill, Colleen, and their son Bob, moved to Tahsis, BC in 1972, where Bill worked for Tahsis Company Ltd. Bill and Colleen made many good friends there, and enjoyed trips around the West Coast, being especially fond of Friendly Cove. Bill spent the latter part of his life in Ladysmith with Colleen, where he worked as a log scaler and in the ofďŹ ce for PaciďŹ c Forest Products, retiring in 1989. Bill enjoyed spending time with his family, musical get-togethers with his brothers, camping, ďŹ shing, smoking salmon, gardening, carpentry, ďŹ ne woodwork, travelling and hockey. He took great pride in everything he did. Bill’s family wishes to extend their appreciation to Wexford Creek Retirement Home in Nanaimo, where, while Dad spent his last few years of life, he was lovingly cared for by the staff. A reception will be held on Sunday, November 18th, 2012 at 1:00pm at the Eagle’s Hall, Ladysmith, BC. In lieu of owers, donations to The Good Samaritan Society: www. gss.org/make-a-donation/ would be appreciated. “Those were the days my friend, we thought they’d never end, we’d sing and dance forever and a day.â€?
