Twelve-year-old Jordan Judson of Ladysmith shows off his fifth catch of the day during B.C.’s Family Fishing Day Saturday, June 15 at the Bush Creek Hatchery. The annual event is hosted by the Ladysmith Sportsmen’s Club and features an opportunity to learn to fish licence-free.

Few reasons are more compelling to grab a spot on the 2013 Tour de Rock team than to help give your own son and other children a fighting chance to beat cancer. Const. Misty Dmytar, 39, who lives in Ladysmith, is relatively new to the Nanaimo RCMP detachment, but she and her twoyear-old son, Griffyn, are well known in the Comox Valley where she served until recently, and to Tour de Rock teams from the last couple of years. When Griffyn was just four days old he was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a rare form of infant cancer that presents about 50-70 cases a year in Canada. Dmytar and her partner had to get Griffyn into treatment immediately. “We went to B.C. Children’s Hospital and I can remember us walking up to 3B, which is the oncology ward, and thinking, ‘How did we get here — why is this happening to us?’” They walked by a wall, about three metres long, covered in photos of children who beat cancer, were being treated for it and other who lost the fight. “Griffyn was the youngest they’d ever seen that had come in with neuroblastoma,” Dmytar said. Surgeons took a tumour the size of a baseball, weighing 230 grams, off of his right adrenal gland. They took the gland too.

“The people at B.C. Children’s — if you ever have to go there — it is the most incredible, most ... there are no words to describe B.C. Children’s Hospital,” Dmytar said, struggling to keep her voice steady. “The people that work there — the nurses, the doctors, even the janitors — are amazing people.” Initial treatment produced positive results, but an ultrasound taken a few months later revealed a tumour on Griffyn’s other adrenal gland and spots on his liver. Five months of chemotherapy treatment halted the disease. The tumour shrunk to half its size and the spots on his liver are still there, but the disease has been effectively dormant since 2010. Neuroblastoma is known to do that, and, depending on a wide range of factors, is one of few illnesses that can go into spontaneous regression. For now and hopefully forever, Griffyn has beaten cancer. He returns for more tests this month. In the meantime Dmytar is training for the tour, which starts in September. Combined with fundraising, it’s a big commitment for a mother of two who works 12-hour shifts. Riders will cover about 3,500 kilometres in training to prepare for each year’s 1,000 km Tour de Rock. Riders train two nights a week. Each ride is highly strenuous and lasts about 2.5 hours to build stamina on hills or build cardio endurance with speed. Saturdays are long endurance rides of up to 100 See Riding Page 9

School leadership stable in Chemainus

Restructuring has also brought corresponding administration shuffles at schools in District 79. But, consistent with the rest of the restrutcturing, things are relatively unchanged in the Chemainus-Crofton area. Rhonda MacDowell remains principal at Crofton Elementary, while Sian Peterson maintains her position as principal at Chemainus Secondary, with Mike Martin as vice-principal. Brenda Stevenson joins Linda Porte to form the administration team at Chemainus Elementary. All administrative appointments are effective Aug. 1.

Chemainus firefighters hope to fill their boots

This Saturday (June 22), Chemainus firefighters will be walking around the Chemainus Summer Fest and holding out their boots. Why? It’s their annual campaign to raise money to support people with neuromuscular disorders. Since 1954, Canadian firefighters have been helping Muscular Dystrophy Canada fight the battle against muscular dystrophy — a group of more than 150 types of neuromuscular disorders characterized by the wasting and progressive weakness of muscles. Some diseases are life-threatening, and currently, there is no cure. The money raised by Chemainus firefighters will go toward improving the quality of life for people living with neuromuscular disorders by purchasing mobility equipment, providing support services, and funding research, which will one day lead to a cure. Last year, dedicated firefighters raised more than $680,000 in B.C. and the Yukon.

Sunday’s Eggs Benefit will raise money for Holland Creek bridge Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE

When does a church become a breakfast café? When it’s raising money for an important community project, of course. This Sunday (June 23), Oceanview Community Church is hosting Eggs Benefit 2 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the church at 381 Davis Rd. A group of individual volunteers from the community and volunteers from the Kinsmen Club and Oceanview Community Church will be lending a hand during the day to serve omelets with your choice of toppings, toast and coffee supplied by Tim Hortons. Twenty celebrity chefs — including Mayor Rob Hutchins, Fire Chief Ray Delcourt, Chronicle publisher Teresa McKinley, Ladysmith Primary School principal Parmjit Parmar and many others — will be cooking the omelets, which will be offered by donation. All money raised at Eggs Benefit 2 will go toward replacing the Holland Creek Trail walking bridge. The bridge is 23 years old, and because it was built with untreated wood, it has become necessary to replace it, explained Oceanview Pastor Darin Phillips. “You can expect to have a great breakfast, enjoy some live background music, put your kids in the fantastic kids area and feel good about making a donation to a great cause where every

Mayor Rob Hutchins approached Phillips in November and asked if Oceanview would be interested in doing another Eggs Benefit fundraiser because the Holland Creek Trail walking bridge needs to be replaced. “I guess when they originally built it, it’s all untreated logs, and over top of the creek, it’s a wet environment and it speeds up rotting,” said Phillips. Howie Davis is donating all the steel and structure for the new walking bridge, as well as the heavy machinery to move it into place and all the work. “He’s doing the bulk of the donation, and Eggs Benefit will hopefully pay for the decking material, rails and all the surface, basically,” explained Phillips. “If we can raise $4,500 or $5,000, we’ll be able to pay for it all.” Phillips says the first Eggs Benefit was a big success, which has made recruiting FILE PHOTO for this year’s event easy.

Ladysmith Legion will open its doors next week Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE

The Royal Canadian Legion is opening up its doors next week as it celebrates Legion Week. Branch 171 in Ladysmith will hold several events during Legion Week from June 24-30 and is inviting residents of Ladysmith and the surrounding area to visit the branch and learn more about the Legion. “Legion Week is for everybody, and it’s a way for us to open the doors to the public,” said Branch 171 president Roy Empey. The branch will host a Soup and Sandwich luncheon by donation Thursday, June 27, starting at 11:30 a.m. at 621 First Ave. The Ladysmith Singers will entertain diners. The branch will then hold an open house in the lounge Saturday, June 29 from noon to 4 p.m., along with an outdoor information booth and a free barbecue outside. Legion mem-

The Legion’s mission is to serve veterans — including currentlyserving military and RCMP members and their families — to pro-

mote Remembrance, and to serve its community and country through programs and services provided directly by the branch and also by donations from BC Gaming and the Legion Poppy Fund. In 2012, Branch 171 donated al-

most $16,000 from Gaming funds to programs and services and $4,000 in scholarships to students graduating from Ladysmith and Cedar secondary schools. The Ladysmith branch also contributed almost $7,000 toward support and assistance for veterans and their dependents, and $3,000 for bursaries for children and grandchildren of veterans. “We are very proud of the assistance we are able to give our veterans and their families and the programs and services we provide for the residents of Ladysmith,” said Empey. Past president Brian Kelly says Legion Week helps raise awareness about exactly what the Legion does. “We’re a service club, and there’s a lot of work we do within the community that people aren’t aware of,” he said. Kelly and Empey emphasize you do not need to be a veteran or a relative of a veteran to join the Legion.

YOUR WORDS

“I really love this community and everything they stand for.” Kelly Wallace, Page 5

his Monday, Ladysmith and North Oyster community members had their first opportunity to participate in a public forum around the school district’s Proposed 10-Year Facilities for Enhanced Learning Plan. The plan has been in the news a lot, sparked protest and been a hot topic of discussion because it proposes some pretty big changes for our community. The plan proposes closing North Oyster Elementary School in June 2013 and closing École Davis Road in June 2014. Ladysmith Intermediate School would become a dual-track K-5 elementary school, and Ladysmith Secondary School would become a Grade 6-12 school in September 2014. It’s proposed that a new K-5 elementary school would be built in Ladysmith for September 2017. This would mean quite a change to the education picture, and people could be turned away from moving here or from enrolling their children in public school by the idea of two “super schools.” One concern that seems to come across quite loudly is with Grade 6-12 high school. Do 10-year-olds belong in high school with 17-year-olds? While you could argue there are a lot of role models in high school — and there certainly are — parents are raising social concerns around bullying and younger students feeling safe. And what about the lost opportunity to be a leader/role model in an elementary or intermediate school? The deadline to submit feedback on the proposed plan is Wednesday, June 26, and I hope you’ll make your voices heard. Visit www.sd68.bc.ca to find out how to do that. Trustees will consider the proposed plan June 26 at 6 p.m. at Nanaimo District Secondary School. Ladysmith parents have been vocal about their concerns and have come up with other solutions (through the website suc cess4all.ca). Let’s hope they get fair consideration at the board table and that the end solution is one that meets our community’s actual needs. —Lindsay Chung

Expense cleanup must continue BC Views

by Tom Fletcher

s she unveiled her new cabinet, Premier Christy Clark promised a “line-by-line” review of government spending to deliver a balanced budget this year. Statements such as this would have more credibility if politicians subjected their own personal spending to the same scrutiny. That’s still not happening in B.C. Expense accountability has come a long way in the last year, thanks mainly to the work of now-departed Auditor General John Doyle, who swung the cobweb-covered door open on B.C.’s secretive Legislative Assembly Management Committee. Chaired by the speaker and run by senior MLAs from both parties, the committee had been doing pretty much whatever it wanted with MLAs’ own expenses. Doyle’s audit found that MLA credit card bills were being paid without receipts, part of a lax accounting

system that included inaccurate bank records and inadequate management of the legislature gift shop and dining room. The operating budget of the legislature and constituencies runs to more than $60 million a year. Now-retired speaker Bill Barisoff asked the auditor to give a pass to the $119,000 annual allowance for each of the 85 constituency offices. Transfer amounts and payroll expenses were verified, but constituency expenses were not, likely because these records weren’t kept either. I’m not suggesting that there has been any misuse of public funds. The point is we don’t know, and the notion of an “honour system” for politicians’ expenses has become unacceptable. A similar toxic tale has been unfolding in the Senate in Ottawa. It has its own secretive committee called the Board of Internal Economy, which was forced into the open after trying to sweep Sena-

If you go to the website of Alberta Premier Alison Redford, you can easily find the link to her detailed expense reports, itemized for travel, meals, hotel rooms and so forth. Alberta cabinet ministers provide the same disclosure. B.C. cabinet ministers’ travel expenses are now reported, but only as an occasional lump sum. As a result of Doyle’s revelations last summer, B.C.’s Legislative Assembly Management Committee now meets in public, with transcripts of proceedings available. But MLA expenses are still not itemized. Total expenditures are being reported on a quarterly basis, but with no detail to explain why some MLAs have much higher totals than others. It’s time to sweep out the cobwebs. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press newspapers.

tor Mike Duffy’s housing claims under the red rug of the Senate chamber. Duffy has lived in Ottawa for decades, first as a TV host and then senator, but he decided the rules were loose enough that he could claim his summer place in Prince Edward Island as his principal residence. An audit has also found he was claiming living expenses in Ottawa while campaigning for the Conservatives back east. It turns out the key ingredient in an honour system is honour. This mess goes back more than a century in B.C. and Canada and has its roots in the British Parliament, where MPs and Lords had a system of claiming all sorts of expenses, including construction of a “duck house” and maintenance of the moat around an Honourable Member’s castle. Many years ago, British MPs convinced themselves that they were underpaid, and rather than create a public fuss by giving themselves a big raise, they would be able to top it up by claiming up to 250

Parents ‘deeply disturbed’ by changes being proposed for Ladysmith schools

Your View

Editor: As parents of soon to be three children in Ladysmith, we’re deeply disturbed about the changes within the proposed Enhanced Facilities for Learning Plan. We are upset enough that we would pull out of School District 68. Our children represent a lost opportunity of $312,000 to the district. How many other parents will follow suit? If all Ladysmith has to offer is one K-5 and one 6-12 school, how many potential residents will opt out of moving to Ladysmith because this undesirable model offers no choice? We would never send our son, at 10 years of age, to a school alongside 18-year-old young adults. A 10-year-old needs a playground, a safe environment to explore his imaginative world and the chance to be a Grade 7 leader in his school before making the already intimidating transition into high school. People and families move to Ladysmith for its small town community. We have experienced that energy, commitment and community at École Davis Road. It is a school that is full to the brim with wait lists for both French immersion and English track programs. It is full because there is a need for a school in the south end of Ladysmith, and families are moving here. It is in demand because of its great French immersion program, its vibrant reputation as a community school infused with volunteer energy and a history of dedication to positive learning. How dare anyone consider shutting down such a success story in an education system that is in such desperate need of good schools? The good news is there are multiple viable and preferable alternatives to be considered by the board. Exemplary of Ladysmith’s serious intent to work proactively on this plan is success4all.ca.

Our hope is that this “consultation” period truly results in positive, collaborative action to find alternatives that reflect our community school’s core values, the long-term needs of a growing community, alongside the values and changes needed within the district. This is this district’s shining moment to merit a gold star by exercising good government. If you up at the top fail, how can we trust the education system within this district at all?

Kinsmen impressed by LSS rugby team Editor: We are fortunate to live in a very wonderful community in a fantastic setting! One of the big reasons for the quality of life we have is the people that call Ladysmith home. From time to time, we hear about how young people don’t have any drive or direction ... well that could be true for a small portion, but overall, the coming generation have a great future ... and such a group is the Ladysmith Secondary School rugby team! The Ladysmith Kinsmen took on a project to repaint the playground at Transfer Beach this past weekend. We approached a parent from the rugby team and asked if some of the boys would be interested in coming out to help on the Saturday. We were told there could possibly be six to eight young men if they could. On Saturday, a dozen members of the LSS rugby team showed up, along with a parent and the

teacher sponsor. It was amazing. These 12 young men did a HUGE pile of work! When we got going, they did not stop until lunch and then went back non-stop until we finished the project. What we thought would take a few weekends to complete we managed to get done in one weekend due largely to the help of this group of Ladysmith youth. These young men worked hard, were very polite and (we think) enjoyed what they were doing. They are a huge credit to their parents, as well as to the staff at LSS, but more so, they are a credit to themselves and their peers. The Kinsmen were amazed at how these youths worked and handled themselves, and we are very pleased that they came and helped us in this community project. We are very fortunate in our community to have many, many quality people, and this group of young men are a part of it. A great group of future leaders! The Kinsmen really want to thank all the members of the LSS rugby team for all their help — you boys are great! Duck Paterson Ladysmith Kinsmen Club

Satisfy your senses and kick start summer with a pancake breakfast, live music and a parade at the Chemainus Summer Fest this Saturday (June 22). The Chemainus Rotary Club (CRC) is offering a day of family entertainment with a Chemainus by the Sea theme. Summer Fest will begin at 8 a.m. with a pancake breakfast at the Waterwheel Park parking lot. After breakfast has settled, live music and children’s activities begin at 9 a.m. “There are a variety of bands, including The McCandless Family Band, The Flying Accusations and The Cowichan Valley Jazz Band,” says Shannon Bellamy. “For the kids, we have a reading tent, face painting, fish pond and bean

“The parade is quite a mixed bag,” says Bellamy. “Everybody is participating. Big businesses, local businesses and individuals — it has everything.” There will be a hamburger and hot dog barbecue firing up at the same time as the parade. If you’re still hungry after the pancake breakfast and want to eat while donating to charity, this is the way to do it. “All of the activities are free; the only thing you have to pay for is the food,” says Bellamy. “Proceeds from the food go straight back into the community.” Last year, the CRC raised $15,000 for local charities.

Riding in the Tour de Rock is Dmytar’s way of giving back From Page 1 kilometres designed to get the cyclists accustomed to covering long distances and spending hours in the saddle. “I biked before, but nothing to the extent of what we bike now,” Dmytar said. “Hill day is the hardest for me. I’m not very great at hills, but as the training goes on, obviously you get stronger — your legs get stronger — and you’re not as psyched out when you see that really long, steep hill.” Fundraising will be less of a problem, Dmytar hopes, since she’ll be getting a lot of support from the Comox Valley detachment as well as Nanaimo. She also lives in Ladysmith, a town that always throws a huge amount of support behind riders, especially if they live in the area. Dmytar has set her fundraising goal, tentatively at $20,000 but she says the ride is the least she can do to support B.C. Children’s Hospital. “The more money we raise through Tour de Rock, the more chance these kids have and the better

Thank You Thank you to all the parent volunteers, businesses, staff and students who contributed to the 2013 Ladysmith Secondary School Graduation Weekend. An outstanding graduation weekend event was again hosted by Ladysmith Secondary School. A spectacular event not possible without the dedication, commitment and vision of a community that clearly cares for its children. A special thank you also to artist Kath Stroman who (for a second year) created “magic” in the form of huge paintings depicting this year’s grad theme; New York. In the picture attached, the Statue of Liberty can be seen. We are so fortunate to have such talent living in Ladysmith.

Theatre society’s dream is coming true Tyson Jones THE CHRONICLE

“As Judy Whittaker used to say, ‘we’re a work in progress.’ I don’t think it will ever be completely finished ... it’s endless.” This is what Bruce Mason says of the late Judy Whittaker and the Ladysmith Little Theatre. Mason, a past president of the Ladysmith Players Society, has a long history with the Ladysmith Little Theatre, and he and current president David Brown recently took part in a milestone moment for the theatre when they signed the mortgage and transfer papers to purchase the Ladysmith Little Theatre building.

Sports

In the game Success for Ladysmith martial artists Ladysmith’s Outreach Martial Arts School -— led by Master Kim Teh — had great success at the 2013 Vancouver Island Taekwondo Championships in Parksville in mid-May, which featured teams from across Vancouver Island and competitors of all ages and all experience levels. Several medal winners came from Outreach Martial Arts School, including Elizabeth Irvine and Elwyn Thom (blue belts), both with silver in the poomse pattern competition; Logan Steel (yellow belt) with silver in both sparring and poomse; Béla Scott (yellow belt) with silver in poomse and bronze in sparring; and Alden Thom (yellow belt) in sparring.

Sign at Crofton ball field honours Collinson The sign is now in place at the Crofton Ball Park in recognition of Ron (Sonny) Collinson. The ball field closest to Robert Street now bears the name of the man who gave so much of his free time to coach young players in Crofton for many years. Collinson died on April 17 at the age of 66. Almost immediately, the call went out to name a field after him, spearheaded by Gerry Hurst and Mike Rochon.

Opportunities abound for Kedves Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE

It’s going to be a summer full of unique training opportunities for local figure skater Sarah Kedves. The 13-year-old Grade 7 student at École Davis Road and Fuller Lake Skating Club member is off to Edmonton once school ends to train with Canadian champion and World Championship medallist Kaetlyn Osmond at the Ice Palace at West Edmonton Mall. After this week-long intensive training, Kedves and her pairs partner Lucas Pallard, of skating is the new she a Grade 11 student at choreography,” Nanaimo District Sec- said. “You have to ondary School, will have lots of emotion. spend seven weeks in I don’t know what it is Victoria, where they about it, but I feel like will train with Rac- I’m at home when I’m quet Club of Victoria skating.” Alice remembers Figure Skating.

She was skating in Nanaimo when her old coach suggested she and Pallard try skating together. “I was really scared at first,” she said. “I was really scared I was going to fall on my head because there are a lot of lifts.” Since Kedves and Pallard started skating together last July, they have gotten close to being able to complete a double twist. They compete at the pre-novice level. “We can do a bunch of lifts like star lift, pressure lift, platter lift,” said Kedves. “We kind of made up a lift because we didn’t know what to call it because it’s not like a platter lift or a star lift, so we called it a splatter lift.” They also do death spirals, spiral sequences, pairs spins and other elements. “It’s fun,” said Kedves. “I’m not as scared any more that I will fall on my face.” While skating pairs,

Kedves continues to skate singles, and she is going into the prenovice level. Kedves doesn’t know what to expect when she goes to Edmonton to train with Osmond and Walia. “They didn’t tell us what we’re going to do,” she laughed. “I’m kind of scared I’m going to get trampled by Kaetlyn Osmond; she skates really fast.” There is a group of six girls on Vancouver Island who are the same age and same level, and their coach in Victoria asked Osmond’s coach, Ravi Walia, if they could come to Edmonton for an intensive camp, explained Alice, noting Walia is a world technical specialist, and their coach thought it would be good motivation for the girls to see a female who can land triple jumps. Kedves will spend one week in Edmonton and then she heads straight to Victoria, where she will do pairs training with Pallard and singles training. Kedves and her family will stay in their trailer in Victoria for seven weeks while she does daily on-ice and off-ice sessions. “I like summer skating better because you get lunch break and you get to hang out with all your friends, and on weekends, I get to come home and umpire,” said Kedves. In her pairs skating, Kedves has her sights set on competing at the Western Challenge western Canadian championships this December.

The Last Word

Talk on the Street Smile of the Week Do you think the proposed plan for one K-5 elementary school and one Grade 6-12 high school is a good fit for Ladysmith?

Kathy Mah Smithers

I think the Grade 6 through 12 is too big of a spread. The Grade 6s will be too intimidated in that mix; I think they belong in an elementary or middle school.

Christin Quintal Cedar

No, I do not. I don’t believe that Grade 6 through 12 is an appropriate age mix.

What is your name? “Jocelyn Gamble.” What is your hometown? “Ladysmith.” What is your occupation? “Dishwasher/student at LSS.” “What do you like most about your community?” “How dedicated my sports teams’ coaches and teammates are.” What is your proudest or happiest moment? “When I hit a home run in softball.” What scares you more than anything else in the world? “Plane crashes or not being able to control what happens to me.” If you were Empress of Vancouver Island, what would your first imperial proclamation be? “I would waive or lower BC Ferries prices for Vancouver Island residents.”

Luke Kolk Ladysmith

No I don’t think so. I have grandkids that are growing up, and I don’t agree with the fact that we are putting young kids in with older kids up to Grade 12 — I don’t think it’s appropriate.
