Patients upset over doctor’s departure Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE

Patients of Dr. Vivian Kilvert are upset after learning that she will no longer be with the Ladysmith Family Practice Clinic as of Aug. 9. Joan Etheridge of Ladysmith, who is a patient of Kilvert’s, says she hears Kilvert has been asking for too many tests to be done for the diagnostic and monitoring needs of her patients and consequently is over budget. “We’re upset about our favourite doctor being fired for being too good at what she does,” she said. Ladysmith’s Gerry Yellowlees, who has seen Kilvert when his doctor was away, is upset as well, “This doctor is an excellent doctor and she’s being let go because she’s an excellent doctor,” he said. “This is ridiculous.” The Vancouver Island Health Authority (VIHA) could not comment on the specifics of Kilvert’s contract. “Vancouver Island Health Authority cannot disclose any circumstances relating to the contractual relationship between any physician and the health authority out of respect for the confidentiality of those involved,” Bruce Patterson in the VIHA communications department stated in an e-mail. Etheridge and Yellowlees were surprised to hear from other patients that Kilvert’s contract was not being renewed. They received a letter from Kilvert July 9 informing them that her time with the Ladysmith Family Practice Clinic would end Aug. 9. They also received a letter from the clinic on July 17. Kilvert has been sharing Dr. Graham Brockley’s practice at the clin-

ic for about four years. “As of August 9, 2013, Dr. Kilvert will no longer share this practice and will not have a permanent contract within the VIHA Family Practice Clinic,” states the letter to patients from the Ladysmith Family Practice Clinic, which is signed by site manager Heather Dunne, Kilvert and Brockley. “We know that many of you will miss Dr. Kilvert, and we know that the most difficult part of this change will be in losing her relationships with her patients that she has so cherished. Dr. Kilvert has considered it a privilege to have served as your physician and wishes you health and happiness in your future. We, as a clinic, and I am sure I speak for you as patients, wish the same for Dr. Vivian Kilvert as she pursues other avenues in her career and life.” Dr. John Potts, one of the original physicians in the previous MonkeyTree clinic in Ladysmith, will start in this half-time practice Sept. 2. “VIHA is committed to providing accessible, high quality care to residents of the Ladysmith area,” said Patterson. “We’re pleased Dr. John Potts will join the Ladysmith Family Practice Clinic in September.” Yellowlees said he intended to write to the B.C. Medical Association and VIHA patient care, but he was frustrated that patients weren’t given very much notice. “What we’d like to do is have the Ladysmith Family Practice Clinic consider the patients in the future with the consequences of their actions and also keep Dr. Kilvert in some capacity,” he said. “We’re trying to be positive about this and say ‘how can we turn a negative into a positive?’”

Section of Holland Creek Trail now closed From Aug. 8 through Sept. 27, a section of the trail is closed to make room for construction of a new chlorination plant Nick Bekolay THE CHRONICLE

The Town of Ladysmith is closing a section of the Holland Creek Trail (HCT) system from Aug. 8 through Sept. 27 to make room for the construction of a new chlorination facility at the Arbutus Reservoir site. John Manson, the city’s director of public works, said the closure affects the HCT along the east side of the creek between Crystal Falls and the wood bridge linking the east (south) and west (north) portions of the HCT loop. This section of trail will remain closed until work crews have completed a pipeline between Colonia Drive and the new facility, Manson said. As work progresses, a second section of the HCT between the wood bridge and Colonia Drive will be closed for “three or four days” in mid-September, Manson added. During this time, the HCT will remain open along the north side of the creek from Dogwood Drive to Mackie Road and along the south side of the creek between Dogwood Drive and Crystal Falls.

Ladysmith is constructing a new chlorination facility to replace an aging one, built in the 1960s, that Manson described as “worn out.” Replacing the city’s chlorination plant is step one of two as Ladysmith overhauls the infrastructure it relies on for disinfecting its drinking water. Phase two will involve the adoption of a secondary “level of protection” as the city vies to meet new Ministry of Health guidelines, Manson explained. Choices include filtration or secondary disinfection using ozone or ultraviolet radiation — UV is used by the Capital Regional District as part of its disinfection strategy — and a decision should be reached on what method the city will adopt “within the next year or two.” “We’re currently testing our water,” Manson said, “and the results of those tests will tell us what kind of treatment is feasible.” “Most, if not all” of the city’s water Hikers pause at the city’s aging chlorination plant while en route to Heart Lake Wednes- supply passes through the current day, Aug. 8.

Wallace in the running for People’s Choice

Collision on Highway 1 sends man to hospital Nick Bekolay THE CHRONICLE

As she leaves for the BC Ambassador Program pageant this week in Merritt, Ladysmith’s Kelly Wallace still needs her community’s support to earn the People’s Choice Award and potentially earn bursaries to support her post-secondary education. Wallace leaves today (Aug. 13) and will be in Merritt until Sunday, Aug. 18. The Ladysmith Ambassador Team will join her in Merritt for the weekend to watch her pageant. Wallace is currently competing for first place in the People’s Choice Award, and people can help her win by voting daily online at www.bcambassador.com. Voting will close Friday, Aug. 16 at midnight. Wallace, the only candidate in the B.C. Ambassador Program from Vancouver Island, is 19 and was crowned Ladysmith Ambassador in 2012. She is enrolled in Vancouver Island University, where she plans to begin pursuing her double major in dance and mathematics this September, and she works at the Old Town Bakery in Ladysmith. “Thank you to everyone who has supported me in any way throughout my candidacy,” says Wallace. “Regardless of the outcome this weekend, I plan to represent Ladysmith to the best of my ability and I hope to make our town proud.” PHOTO SUBMITTED

A male motorcyclist is in hospital following a collision between a Harley Davidson and a Mazda sports wagon on Highway 1 south of Ladysmith late Monday morning. Shortly before noon Aug. 12, Ladysmith RCMP responded to reports of an accident at the intersection of Highway 1 and Edgelow Road. Const. Timothy Wang said reports from witnesses indicate that a motorcycle, piloted by a lone male driver, rear-ended a black Mazda sports wagon stopped at a red light where Edgelow Road meets Highway 1. Both the car and bike were travelling north on Highway 1 when the accident occurred, Wang said, adding that the bike hit the rear bumper of the car before sliding partway underneath it. The driver of the motorcycle was “conscious and re-

Wang did not know the extent of the man’s injuries, but he confirmed that the driver of the motorcycle was transported by ambulance to hospital in Nanaimo. “It could’ve been a lot worse,” Wong said, “but thankfully it wasn’t.”

The female driver of the Mazda was uninjured, Wang added. It’s too early to say if the accident will lead to the driver of the motorcycle being charged, Wang said, adding that the RCMP’s investigation into the accident is ongoing. “We haven’t yet spoken to the motorcycle driver,” Wang said.

Central Island classic car buffs are fine-tuning their engines, polishing their chrome and shining their tailfins in preparation for the 10th annual Ladysmith Show and Shine and Rod Run. The two-day festival thunders its way through Ladysmith and Chemainus this Friday (Aug. 16) and Saturday (Aug. 17). Friday night’s Rod Run offers local fans a chance to spot their passing favourites as a convoy of classics makes its way from the A&W on Highway 1 and Oyster Sto’Lo Road out to Chemainus and back. Ron Howe, Show and Shine’s chairman, said Rod Run participants will congregate at the A&W prior to their 7 p.m. departure. The caravan is scheduled to roll through Ladysmith via First Avenue and Dogwood Drive before crossing Highway 1 to follow Chemainus Road to the roundabout at Oak Street and Victoria Road in Chemainus. From there, the motorcade will retrace its route back along Chemainus Road to Highway 1 before returning to its starting

point. “The route usually takes about an hour,” Howe said, “and it seems to be getting bigger every year. Last year we had upwards of 70 to 80 cars.” The following morning, Show and Shine launches at 10 a.m. along a lengthy span of First Avenue, extending from Warren Street to Roberts Street in downtown Ladysmith. Howe has 40 vehicles signed up to date, he said, with room for 260 in total. Pre-registration ended Thursday, Aug. 8, Howe added, and would-be participants are now asked to sign up onsite on the morning of the event. “Most people sign up on the day of the event if the weather’s good,” Howe said, adding that last year’s show drew “between 250 and 260” cars and bikes, including a rare 1918 Cadillac.

Your voice does count

YOUR WORDS

“We picked each other up when we fell down, and we bonded really well.” McKenzie Saysell, Page 15

ocal Cowichanians are winning victories to preserve our threatened environment, but there are plenty of battles looming. Your voice does count. Folks who care about saving our water, air, land, and ecosystems have no choice but to demand action from our local leaders — development pressures are heavy, and getting heavier. The biggest win was stakeholder demands granted to increase storage of river water in Cowichan Lake to prevent another fall kill of spawning salmon, due to drought. Some locals are rightly questioning the wisdom of granting Crofton pulp mill those river-water permits 50 years ago. And, while some Chemainiacs rightly argue all of Echo Heights forest should be saved, North Cowichan council has agreed 80 per cent will be preserved from housing. Meanwhile, locals are anxiously awaiting word from provincial bureaucrat Hubert Bunce about allowing five million tonnes of toxic soil to be dumped into SIA’s quarry near Shawnigan Lake. Just say no, Mr. Bunce. SIA’s scheme seems madness given other unmonitored dumps already leaking poison into Cowichan’s water supplies. Other eco-wild cards include pending provincial approval of pulling North Cowichan farmland for development beside Somenos Marsh. That answer should also be no. Finally, North Cowichan council seems to be listening to public concerns about saving most of Maple Bay Peninsula from development once an improved Stoney Hill Road is built. Council, make parkland from all of our municipal forest land there. Our politicians need your ideas and opinions about these urgent decisions. Speak up now. —Cowichan News Leader Pictorial

oon after my good friend and ministerial colleague began his new position — one that requires him to frequently fly — he entered the Vancouver International Airport bound for Terrace, B.C. That day, one of many so-called “random security checks” began when the airport security guard saw my friend’s darker skin and hair, adorned by his ivory-white teeth, approaching. Superman could not have bored holes through my friend’s passport better than that security officer.

He studied it, as if innocent lives depended on him that day. After noticing my friend’s birthplace of Karachi, Pakistan — a city known for its illegal and terrorism activity — the airport security guard seemingly transformed into homeland security. Guantanamo Bay came to Vancouver that day. With beady, suspicious eyes, the border guard bordered on interrogation as he inquired of my Pakistani-born, yet highly-patriotic Canadian friend. “Why are you traveling to Terrace today?” he queried. Innocently, my friend replied, “To train cell leaders in Terrace.” At the sight of the guard’s eyes nearly popping out of their sockets, my friend

realized what he had said. Verbally backpedaling, he defended, “No!

Flashing his business card, he explained, “I’m a Christian minister, and Christians in our churches gather

colours, we all bleed the same. The relevance of the Bible always staggers me. Thousands of years ago, God noted, “Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart” (1 Samuel 16:7). This is as true today as it was three millennia ago. Yet even more staggering to me is the unconditional love of God, manifested in Jesus Christ. Like the children’s song teaches: “Black and yellow, red and white, they are precious in His sight, Jesus loves the little children of the world.” Jesus is more focussed on hearts than skin colour, and we would be wise to do the very same thing.

Ochre-hued slick in the harbour caused by algal bloom Nick Bekolay THE CHRONICLE

The mysterious source of a massive ochrehued slick spanning much of Ladysmith Harbour and sections of Stuart Channel Friday, Aug. 2, has been solved. Multiple inquiries with various regulatory agencies regarding the potential source of a spill resembling “hundreds of gallons of copper paint” led us to Nicky Haigh, an expert on harmful algal blooms, or HABs, at Vancouver Island University in Nanaimo. Haigh, who works with VIU’s Harmful Algae Monitoring Program (HAMP), said the bloom carpeting Ladysmith Harbour “was almost certainly Noctiluca scintillans,” adding that she saw similar blooms of Noctiluca the weekend of Aug. 3-4 around northern Salt Spring Island and offshore from Crofton. Noctiluca scintillans is a species of dinoflagellate — a single-celled protist — with large, spherical cells that range up to two

millimetres in diameter, big enough to be seen with the naked eye. They emit light when disturbed — bioluminescence — and under certain conditions form greasy, fluorescent-orange blooms that coat the surface of the water. “It’s the only bloom I can identify without having to use the microscope,” Haigh wrote, referring to a Noctiluca bloom at Ladysmith Harbour she photographed in late June. Diana Varela, a professor of marine biology at the University of Victoria, confirmed that Noctiluca blooms do not result in the production of toxins. As such, labelling them as “red tides” is both misleading and inaccurate, and Varela prefers the term HABs. As to the extent of the bloom, Bud Bell at Sealegs Kayaking said he paddled through a “copper-red slick” that “stretched for miles” along the surface of the water off of Coffin Point, adding that his guides reported similar sightings all the way from the northern

tip of Ladysmith Harbour to Chemainus. Gabe Nicholson, a passenger on WestJet Flight 3109, said he saw boats slicing through bright orange slicks that spanned entire channels between islands during his final approach to the Nanaimo Airport Sunday, Aug. 4. Haigh said Noctiluca blooms are triggered by “the presence of a good food source — generally a diatom bloom.” Noctiluca are classified as phytoplankton, Haigh added, but unlike most phytoplankton, they feed on diatoms and other plankton for energy rather than producing their own via photosynthesis, meaning they “act like zooplankton.” According to Haigh, Noctiluca blooms are “quite common,” and in the event of a future bloom, Haigh said HAMP lab staff would “be happy to field calls from the public” the next time they see “exciting things” out on Ladysmith Harbour. Haigh can by reached at 250-740-6354 or Nicky.Haigh@viu.ca.

Joey Purpura is bringing his Neil Diamond tribute show, Diamond in the Rough, to the Chemainus Legion Aug. 22. PHOTO SUBMITTED “By researching his life, not only do I sing his songs, but in between songs, I also weave highlights of his life,” said Purpura. Purpura has been doing his Neil Diamond tribute show for almost a decade. “It’s been a lot of fun,” he said. “He has a lot of fans. Basically, the people who come to my shows are Neil Diamond lovers. He seems to have a devout following. People who come to my shows say I sound just like him, and they say I take them back in time.” Purpura’s two favourite songs to perform are “Shilo” and “September Morn.” “I think it’s the lyrics,” he says of why these two are his favourites. “It’s the storytelling in the songs and the emotion he makes you feel.

Neil Diamond once said “songs are life in 80 words or less.” The 72-year-old member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has shared a lot of his life in a lot of songs over a career that started in the 1960s and is still going strong. And that’s something that hasn’t been lost on Joey Purpura, a 39-year-old performer and impersonator based in Toronto. Purpura has lived and breathed Neil Diamond since 2004, travelling across the country and parts of the Caribbean with his tribute show, Diamond in the Rough. Purpura first became interested in Neil Diamond at a karaoke show. “I’ve always been a very good mimic ever since I was a kid,” he said. “At a karaoke place, I heard someone do Neil Diamond, and I thought it was an interesting sound, so I did a song and got a great reaction. The reason I stuck with Neil Diamond is I found his lyrics are very good. He’s a storyteller. I think that’s what drew me to it, the storytelling and the melodies of his songs.” The singer wasn’t on Purpura’s radar growing up, and so he really started from the ground up. In 2002, Purpura began researching Diamond’s life, studying his every move, every song and the story behind the music. He found a Las Vegas-based designer able to replicate Diamond’s glittery costumes from the mid-70s. To pay tribute to Diamond, Purpura did a lot of research about Diamond online, bought a biography and also watched a lot of videos and looked at a lot of photos to see how Diamond moves and to watch his facial expressions and re-create his wardrobe.

Bluegrass Fever at Transfer Beach

Renowned banjo player Barrie Hemmings was a member of the original Bluegrass Fever band in Ontario in the 1980s, and he re-formed the band on Vancouver Island a number of years ago. “Hemmings is master of both the three-finger and clawhammer banjo stylings — you can’t miss his hard-driving sound when you hear the band,” states the band’s website. The band was re-assembled with guitarist Bob Johns, who is known on the Island for his years with the popular Back Forty Boys; Guy Langlois, a talented upright

Ladysmith’s McKenzie Saysell scores first try in U16 Women’s rugby play at National Championship Festival minutes before she’s sidelined by injury Nick Bekolay THE CHRONICLE

Ladysmith’s McKenzie Saysell made a brief but explosive appearance at Rugby Canada’s National Championship Festival (NCF) in Vancouver Aug. 7-11 Saysell helped steer BC1 to a 60-0 victory over BC2 as U16 Women’s play got underway at UBC Wednesday, Aug. 7, only to have her field time cut short by injury the following day. The young flanker’s tournament play came to an end during BC1’s 23-15 victory over Ontario Thursday, Aug. 8. Saysell scored her first try of the tournament during the opening half of Thursday’s game to put BC1 ahead of Ontario 10-0. Less than 20 minutes later, when Saysell “went head on” with an Ontario rival, she suffered whiplash and a concussion when the two women collided while rucking over a ball. Saysell’s performance earned her the nod for MVP of the game, but she was forced to watch her team play from the sidelines for the remainder of the tournament. BC1 went on to defeat Alberta 29-5 on Friday during the

KRUTZ: Werner (Vern) Christe, a wise and extraordinary man, left this life on the evening of Aug 2/13 in his residence at Wexford Creek, Nanaimo. Born Dec 5/25 in Morden, Manitoba, Vern was the 9th of 11 children. He is survived by his children Henry, Bill, Donna (Bruce), Roberta (Chris predeceased 2006), Laura (Galan); step-children Cathy and William; grandchildren Kyle, Amy (Craig), Adam, Layla, Carly, Gia; the mother of his children and his wife from 19511974, Roberta Krutz; his sisters Erma, Erika, Evelyn; and his partner from 1980-2004, Fran Willgress. In 1940, at the tender age of 14 Dad left home and joined the army...until they discovered he was underage. During the next 12 years he joined the army, navy, and RCAF Reserve. In 1958 he moved to BC to become the first sanitary inspector for the Pacific Zone. Dad retired in 1980 with a total 34 years of loyal public service. He truly enjoyed his work and always said his job was to serve. He did it well. Dad had a love and respect for the land. After retiring he worked 13 plus years as Land Manager for Cowichan Tribes. He was an avid farmer and right up to the end his greatest joy was spending time on the farm with friends and family. Please help us celebrate Vernâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exceptional sense of humour and wonderful influence on those around him on Saturday, September 21, 2013 @ 2:00PM at the Cedar Community Hall, Nanaimo. Special thanks to the caring staff at Wexford Creek and a huge shout out to our brother, Henry Krutz, for his devoted and amazing care of our Papa over the past 7 plus years. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Heart & Stroke Foundation of BC would be wonderful.
