Tour de Rock rolls into Ladysmith Sept. 30 Nick Bekolay THE CHRONICLE

The Tour de Rock entourage rolled out of Port Alice Sunday morning on the first leg of their 1,000-kilometre journey south to Victoria. Following a west coast detour this coming weekend, TDR is scheduled to depart Nanaimo for Ladysmith and Chemainus on the morning of Monday, Sept. 30. In the lead up to TDR’s arrival, local organizers are busy overseeing a multi-faceted fundraising and awareness campaign. Front and centre is the Wall of Heroes, a mural located at the Ladysmith and District Credit Union that will serve as the backdrop for Ladysmith’s welcome ceremony when TDR arrives Monday afternoon. TDR committee member Kim Judson said anyone interested in having a cancer hero’s name memorialized on the Wall of Heroes can do so by donating $50 to TDR. Kelly Everill returns to Ladysmith this Wednesday (Sept. 25) to complete the mural, Judson said, and it

may only take a day or two for her to add the 70 names registered to date. As a result, Judson advised anyone wanting to see their hero’s name added to the wall prior to the mural’s unveiling Sept. 30 to register with the LDCU prior to Sept. 25. A second fundraising option is the Adopt-A-Rider program. By donating $50 to TDR prior to Sept. 30, the Ladysmith Downtown Business Association will assign a donor a rider, make up an “encouragement poster,” and provide professional photos. Judson said that rider adoptions can be arranged by contacting Teresa McKinley at the Chronicle. Vancouver Island Insurance Centre is contributing to the TDR effort by sponsoring a bike draw, Judson added. By donating to TDR before Sept. 30, donors will be eligible to win one of three bikes up for grabs. To sign up for the draw, contact Adele at Ladysmith VIIC. Local eateries are contributing to the cancer-fighting cause, too, Judson said. Printingdun Beanery at First Avenue and Roberts Street is donating the proceeds of every chicken sandwich sold from now through Sept.

30, Judson added, while Tim Horton’s is donating the proceeds of any Smile Cookies sold until Sept. 30 to TDR. Ladysmith Secondary School will make its contribution via an Open Mic Night scheduled for 6:30 p.m. this Thursday (Sept. 26) at LSS. Admission is by donation, and all proceeds will go to TDR. LSS principal Dave Street, meanwhile, will spend Sept. 28-30 camped out on a scissor lift in the LDCU parking lot to raise money and awareness for TDR, Judson said. Lonely though he may be, Street can count on Ladysmith Fire/Rescue to keep him company as he embarks on his journey through low earth orbit. Ladysmith Fire/Rescue will host a community barbecue and TDR fundraiser Sept. 28 from 4-7 p.m. in the LDCU parking lot. The grand finale begins when the TDR riders roll into Ladysmith Monday afternoon sometime between 1:30 and 2 p.m., Judson said. After a brief stop at Tim Horton’s, the riders will proceed to the LDCU parking lot where they will be greeted by Ladysmith’s finest. See Expect Page 4

News In brief Profab reopens in bigger site

Chronicle

Chemainus Eight months after fire destroyed the original operation, Profab celebrates grand reopening in Chemainus River Bridge Peter Rusland is on time, on THE CHRONICLE budget Chemainus River’s new bridge project is on time and on budget, despite contrary reports, North Cowichan’s mayor says. “That’s simply not true,” Jon Lefebure said of notions finishing $5-million rural span between Mural Town and Crofton was delayed due to a lack of steel. “it’s on time and on budget.” There was a brief delay in starting replacement of the former wooden bridge “due to hydro work, and the incident of electrocution of a man,” he said of the injury accident about two months ago. “Completion was to be Oct. 15, and there could be a slight delay. The contractor is responsible for being on budget, and far as we know, they are.” — Peter Rusland

Jason LeRoy toasted the grand reopening of his Chemainus log-trailer manufacturing plant earlier this month after fire destroyed his original operation in January. Sipping a cold beer, LeRoy and his staff greeted friends, customers and suppliers at Profab Manufacturing Ltd.’s new location at 9366 Smiley Rd. where LeRoy figured his firm has actually boosted its manufacturing capacity — in square footage that increased fourfold — after the early-morning blaze at 3128 Hope Pl. “We’ll definitely be able to increase capacity,” said LeRoy, whose company makes trailers for timber rigs from across B.C. Profab’s staff roster has risen to 23 from the previous 17 when it ran at its former leased shop. LeRoy bought a bigger site in May, and continued working during insurance negotiations — concerning the value of lost tools and other gear, plus trailer in progress, and other Profab property — and construction of the new operation. Veteran staffer Janice Gowanlock survived the whole ordeal and looked on the sunny side of Profab’s phoenix. “It may have been a blessing in disguise,” she said, echoing LeRoy’s relief no one was injured in the blaze fought by crews from Chemainus, Crofton, and Ladysmith fire halls. “After the investigation, it was ‘cause unknown,’” LeRoy said. “They basically figure it was a short in the electrical under the floor of the mezzanine.” But keeping customers happy and staff work-

Two women suffered non-life threatening injuries Sunday, Sept. 22 when their SUV rolled on the Trans-Canada Highway south of Chemainus, Crofton’s fire chief says. Lee Burridge said the mishap occurred on wet pavement at around 1:30 p.m. in the highway’s northbound lane, about a halfkilometre south of Mural Town. The wreck allegedly saw a Chev Blazer hit a car, then roll. The crash caused what Burridge called extensive damage to the car’s rear-end, leaving the flipped Blazer blocking the highway for about half an hour. Crofton firefighters attended the scene. They were backed by Chemainus fire hall’s rescue truck in case the Jaws of life were needed to remove folks from the wreckage. “The two females got out of their cars themselves,” he said. The pair was taken to Cowichan District Hospital with unknown injuries, while North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP sorted out the cause.

Spruston Road rave keeps Ladysmith RCMP busy

Two women injured in Sunday crash

Jason LeRoy and Profab Manufacturing Ltd. are back in business after a devastating fire destroyed the original Chemainus operation back in January. Profab celebrated its grand reopening in a new, larger location on Smiley Road earlier this month. PETER RUSLAND ing was described by LeRoy as a big juggling act in the fire’s aftermath. “Just days after, we had an office set up in my house. The (daily) logistics were pretty tough to deal with among our supervisors,” he said. “Basically, we had a lot of great neighbours that lent us tools and made some space in their

shops. By the next week, we were working out of three different places in the (Chemainus) industrial park.” Meanwhile, Gowanlock was glad Profab is basically back to normal after eight months of post-fire turmoil. “We’ll let you know in a year,” she said.

Staff Writer THE CHRONICLE

The Ladysmith RCMP is asking the public for information after a busy weekend dealing with a rave on Spruston Road. On the night of Saturday, Sept. 21, Ladysmith RCMP members “were kept very busy providing services to a rave, which was situated at or near the west end of Spruston Road, just north of the Nanaimo Airport,” Staff Sgt. Dave Herman stated in a press release. The rave, and the issues arising from it, went on until almost the daylight hours of Sunday morning, he noted. “During the evening, a significant number of unlawful alcohol, illicit drug and illicit drug paraphernalia seizures were made at a police road check point leading directly up to the area of the rave,” said Herman. At the same time, Ladysmith RCMP also responded to other calls for service, including two other independent complaints of a man yelling for help from the same general area as the rave. “When this man was located, with the assistance of residents in the area, he fled on foot from police prior to our members being able to establish full control of the situation,” said Herman. “It is suspected he was under the influence of either drugs, alcohol or both.” An RCMP police dog was summoned into the area but could not locate the man, who was described as a white adult male, and the man’s identity is not known. RCMP believe the man got out of the area

Ladysmith RCMP Staff Sgt. Dave Herman sent this photo of the suspected site of a rave at or near the west end of Spruston Road and the garbage left behind by the participants. The rave took place Saturday, Sept. 21 and lasted into the early-morning hours of Sunday, Sept. 22. PHOTO SUBMITTED of his own means and is not in any danger, according to the press release. Anyone with information with respect to

the organizers of these raves or the identity of this unknown male is requested to contact the Ladysmith RCMP at 250-245-2215.

Ladysmith is benefitting from a rising tide in marine tourist traffic, says Tom Irwin, executive director of the Ladysmith Maritime Society. Overnight moorage at the LMS Community Marina peaked in August 2013 at close to 500 “visitor nights,” Irwin said, boosting visitor numbers past 1,300 on the season. Half of all visitors originate from American and “off-Island” destinations, Irwin said, translating to a substantial contribution to the local economy. See story for more.

United Way wants Agents of Change

or many people, fall on Vancouver Island means fundraising time. Last week, United Way Central and Northern Vancouver Island (UWCNVI) launched a new twist on its annual fundraising campaign. UWCNVI is challenging community members to become Agents of Change and help raise $750,000 towards 33 critically needed programs delivered on the central Island by 27 Community Partners. “By giving to United Way, you can help thousands in our community, including families struggling with poverty, kids in desperate need of mentoring, people recovering from addictions or the impact of abuse, as well as seniors at risk of isolation,” UWCNVI executive director Signy Madden says in a press release. “United Way funds programs that we carefully select and monitor and know are addressing many of the major challenges that people are facing.” Many of United Way’s Community Partners for 201314 are either right here in Ladysmith or offer services that Ladysmith families can access, including Big Brothers Big Sisters Central Vancouver Island, Boys and Girls Clubs Central Vancouver Island, Canadian Red Cross, Haven Society, Island Crisis Care, Ladysmith Family and Friends Ladysmith Resources Centre Association, Literacy Central Vancouver Island, Mid Island Abilities and Independent Living Society, and Vancouver Island Crisis Society. There are many, many worthy groups, organizations and events asking for your donations at this time of year, and UWCNVI is just one. But it’s a very far-reaching one that can make a big impact in a lot of lives. If you’d like to help and be an Agent of Change, donations can be made by contacting the UWCNVI office at 250-729-7400 or info@uwcnvi.ca or online through Canada Helps at www.uwcnvi.ca. —Lindsay Chung

Regulator’s reading on smart meters BC Views

espite efforts to keep the smart meter “controversy” alive by repeating imaginary health claims, the end is near. Energy Minister Bill Bennett has made what sounds like a final offer to holdouts. You want to keep your old mechanical meter, fill your boots. It’ll cost you an extra $35 a month, starting in December. If you insist on a “radio off” wireless meter, there will be a setup fee of $100 and a monthly fee of $20 to have someone collect the readings. These charges are to be reviewed by the B.C. Utilities Commission, the independent panel that smart meter opponents want to review BC Hydro’s whole smart grid project. As it happens, the BCUC recently did just that for an application by FortisBC to install wireless meters for its Okanagan and Kootenay customers. The meters were approved, and the

findings are instructive. The BCUC report notes that it received “many” complaints about smart meter signals being added to existing radio frequency (RF) sources. Some used familiar scare rhetoric about “toxic microwave radiation” that’s promoted by people trying to make money by exploiting fear. One of the experts retained by FortisBC was Dr. Yakov Shkolnikov, an electrical engineer with advanced degrees from Princeton and Cornell Universities. His testimony was not challenged by any of the lineup of opponents. A sample of his findings illustrates the absurdity of this whole discussion. Shkolnikov calculated that a cell phone in use generates radio signals that reach 10 per cent of the international safety code limit. A microwave oven generates 2.3 per cent of the safe limit. A cordless phone: 1.25 per cent. A wi-fi signal: 0.0045 per cent. A bank of smart meters, not separated by a wall,

himself as “chief science officer” for a company called Thermoguy. He spoke on behalf of West Kootenay Concerned Citizens. In a 2012 letter to the B.C. energy ministry, Bennett warned of the danger of smart meters triggering “molecular earthquakes.” The BCUC panel wrote: “While Mr. Bennett has an electrician’s knowledge of electrical systems, it is clear that he is unqualified to give expert opinion evidence on the health effects of RF, exposure standards for RF, engineering, physics or geological phenomena such as earthquakes.” Citizens for Safe Technology put up one Dr. Donald Maisch, who claimed to have experience with this issue in Australia. The panel noted Maisch runs EMFacts Consultancy, and agreed with FortisBC’s argument that “Dr. Maisch’s consulting livelihood depends upon public fears and concerns about RF exposure.” Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press.

The level in the middle of a wilderness is more than 10 times that received from a bank of meters. BCUC staff added, for comparison, the radio signal level emitted by a human body.

A Sept. 11 tribute

The Nanaimo & District Hospital Foundation needs your help to purchase a Vacuum Assisted Wound Closure Machine.

Ladysmith Fire/Rescue held a special event Sept. 11 to commemorate Sept. 11, 2001, in honour of the 343 fallen firefighters, as well as the police officers and everyone else who lost their lives in the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York. Pictured here, from left, are Deputy Chief Al Delcourt, John Goodman, James McAdam, Ron Moore, Mike Alexander and Fire Chief Ray Delcourt. The Piper is Barry Martin, a retired firefighter from the Scarborough/Toronto Fire Department, who now lives in Nanaimo. This is the second year in a row that Ladysmith Fire/Rescue and Barry Martin have done this tribute. Courtesy of Virginia Porter

The Vacuum Assisted Wound Closure Machine is used to vacuum pack wounds to accelerate healing.

Laughing, Kerrie Vockeroth says she was kind of bribed into becoming a member of the Ladysmith Lions Club. Ten years later, her dedication and commitment to the club were recognized when she received the Judge Brian Stevenson Fellowship Award this summer. “The Judge Brian Stevenson Fellowship is a prestigious award named after Judge Brian Stevenson from Calgary, who was one of few Canadians who rose to the office of Lions International president,” said Jim Shephard, outgoing president of the club. The award requires a donation of $500 to Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides. “This award is voted on by people who have received the award before in the club,” said Shephard. “It’s not something that’s taken lightly — it’s very, very special. This woman has been with our club

One of the attributes this Lion brings is creativity; many of our posters, signs and billboards have been produced by this Lion, and in addition, this Lion has been prominent in the Easter Egg Hunt, Light Up and the Ladysmith Ambassador program. This Lion also carves fantastic jack-o’-lanterns.” Vockeroth was sur-

prised and honoured by the award. Vockeroth became a Lion after approaching the club for a donation for the 24-Hour Relay for Easter Seals. “Ken said ‘we could probably give you $1,000, and since you’re already coming and volunteering for all these things already, I think you’d better become a Lion too,’” she laughed. “So I said ‘for $1,000, I’ll definitely become a Lion.’”

Ladysmith Family and Friends would like to thank our funders for sponsoring LaFF’s Books on the Bus events where over 1200 feet climbed aboard the trolley for our children’s literacy initiative. For upcoming events visit: facebook.com/LadysmithFamilyandFriends

Royal Canadian Air Cadets Squadron 257 Parallel Ladysmith hosted a Vancouver Island Wing Squadron and Band Parade Sunday, Sept. 22 to commemorate the squadron’s 70th anniversary. It is believed to be the first time an entire Wing paraded together in the centre of a town, at least in B.C. Almost 300 cadets from 10 squadrons participated in the parade along First Avenue and inspection inside Aggie Hall, home of the Ladysmith air cadets since 1943. Pictured clockwise from top left are: all the cadets ready for inspection; the parade making its way to Aggie Hall; a demonstration by the drumline; Col. Jim Benninger, base commander at 19 Wing Comox, inspecting the troops; and reviewing officer Rear Admiral William Truelove, commander of Maritime Forces Pacific. Lindsay Chung

Elder co-ops could come to Cowichan Valley

A community meeting to look at the possibility of elder co-ops in the Cowichan Valley takes place Friday, Oct. 4 in Duncan Staff Writer the chronicle

Cowichan Valley seniors may soon have access to co-operatively-run seniors’ housing and support services. The BC Co-operative Association is launching a program, funded in part by the Government of Canada and the Vancouver Foundation, to support the development of elder co-ops across Canada, states a press

Black Press is proud to be an official sponsor for the 2013 Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock, with photojournalist Arnold Lim on the 21-member tour team as a media rider. Follow Arnold’s personal story of training for the Tour and the ride itself at tourderock. ca under the blog posts, or on Twitter at @arnoldlimphoto. ON TOUR: This year’s Tour de Rock began in Port Alice on Saturday, Sept. 21 and ends Friday, Oct. 4 in Victoria. Tour de Rock raises funds and awareness for pediatric cancer research and programs.

and communities. “In the hopes that Cowichan can be one of the selected sites for this project, CCC is hosting a meeting for all Cowichan seniors and support agencies to discuss what type of model would best address our needs in the valley,” states the press release. Seniors and stakeholders are invited to share their input at a public meeting scheduled for Friday, Oct. 4 at St. John’s Anglican Church — at First and Jubi-

lee in Duncan — from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Prior to a discussion period, project co-ordinator Kevin Harding is scheduled to outline how the project will aim to “empower seniors to work together on the provision of services that they need, and that they design.” For more information on the community meeting, contact Rick Juliusson at rick@freerangeconsulting.ca or visit cowichan.coop/events.

Stepping in front of the camera No longer just reporting on Tour de Rock, media members join the team Erin Haluschak, Daniel Palmer and Kyle Slavin Black Press

Jennifer Faerber knows firsthand the impact cancer can have on a child’s life. Faerber, who came to Canada from Australia three years ago to continue her radio career, battled non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma as a kid. She also had the opportunity to attend a camp in Australia similar to B.C.’s Camp Goodtimes, a summer camp for children who have gone through cancer. Faerber, one of four media riders on this year’s Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock team, says going from reporting on the Tour to being a part of the event has been a deeply rewarding experience. “When I first moved to Vancouver Island, Tour de Rock was one of the first stories I had to cover,” said Faerber, news director of Vista Radio’s Coast group of stations, based in Courtenay. “When you work in broadcasting, you talk a lot, but you don’t talk about yourself. I’ve had friends that didn’t really know what I went through.” Faerber said one of her motivating factors as a rider is to tell people “what it’s like when you are that kid with cancer.” She noted how grateful she is to

(Above left) Victoria-based Tour de Rock media riders Jillian van der Geest from KOOL FM and Joe Perkins of CTV News Vancouver Island, and (middle) Arnold Lim of Black Press, are joined by host and news director (right) Jennifer Faerber of Vista Radio’s Jet FM in Courtenay. have gone to a camp during her treatment, and wants to help kids who are currently battling cancer. “When we visited Camp Goodtimes, the kids cheer so loudly for you. I actually felt really comfortable there; I was one of those kids,” While the other three media riders on this year’s 21-person team haven’t experienced cancer the same way Faerber has, they all have their reasons to ride. Black Press media rider Arnold Lim, a father of two, says he thinks about his own kids whenever he gets on the bike. “When we went to Camp Goodtimes I met kids whose stories you don’t know completely, but you know they’ve been dealt some pretty bad cards. But they don’t look any different than my own kids,” he said. “They’re the same age as my kids, but they’ve gone through something that kids their age shouldn’t have to go through.” Lim, who prior to training hadn’t been on a bike for years, says he’s

motivated by those kids whenever he feels the aches and pains of cycling. “There isn’t a day that goes by where my thighs aren’t throbbing or my feet are hurting, but that’s nothing compared to the chemotherapy and the spinal taps that some kids have to go through,” Lim said. “I’m not in any position to complain.” CTV News Vancouver Island reporter and anchor Joe Perkins is grateful no children in his family have been affected by cancer, but he keeps in mind a close uncle who died from lung cancer. “He never smoked a day in his life,” Perkins said. He draws his motivation from his junior rider, Luke Savage, a 17-yearold Grade 12 student at Belmont secondary. “Luke had three jobs this summer, worked seven days a week, knows he wants to be an electrician, he’s finishing up his Grade 12 year, and he’s in remission. … For me, that’s pretty inspiring.”

The close-knit camaraderie amongst this year’s riders and Tour de Rock team also took Perkins by surprise. “I knew it would be special, I didn’t think it would be this special,” he said. “And that’s me saying this before we’ve even left. … I can’t wait to see the Island.” Jillian van der Geest, an on-air host with KOOL FM, has witnessed the impact cancer has on a family whose child is battling the disease. Caleb, the son of a family friend, was diagnosed with a brain tumour at eight years old, and died two years later. “I spent a lot of time with his family, from diagnosis to his death, and it’s heart-wrenching and inspiring to watch a family go through that. All they wanted to do was talk about it and have good times with him,” van der Geest said. “It was a unique experience for me to be there and help the family when I could, but ultimately how can you help with something like that? For me, Tour de Rock – this is me trying to help.”

number that follows is guaranteed to raise a few eyebrows as a cast of “vamps and burlesque queens” snakes its way through the crowd, draping boas around audience members’ necks. Cameos by witches, ghouls and familiar Addams Family members — including Michael Pickard as “gorgeous” Gomez and Carol Fowler as the “marvelous” Mortisha — round out a show that’s “so comical you’ll die laughing,” Adams said. Spooktacular will feature a costume contest, too, Adams said, offering one and all a chance to “dress up, dress down —

scare all the folks in town!” Spooktacular runs from Thursday, Oct. 31 through Sunday, November 3 at the Mount Brenton Golf Club. Sunday’s show has already sold out, but tickets are still available for the troupe’s first three showings. Cocktails will be served at 5 p.m. with a deluxe buffet dinner — crafted by Clubhouse Catering — scheduled for 6 p.m. The curtain rises at 7 p.m. Tickets cost $25 per person and are available at the Mount Brenton Golf Club, Chemainus Foods and 49th Parallel Grocery in Chemainus.

Rakas aiti, sisko, kaikki vauvasta vaarin, loistava, tati, ja ystavani (Beloved mother, sister, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, and special friend) Hilkka Orvokki Virtanen was born May 5, 1925, in Finland and passed away peacefully on Sept. 18, 2013. Predeceased by her husband of 59 years, Erkki, and her beautiful granddaughter, Taunya. Hilkka is survived by her sons Leo (Sandy), Tauno (Sue-Anne), Harry (Lauri); her grandchildren Janine, Jeff (Lisa), Dan (Chrystyne), Linsey, Trevor (Erin), Erik (Tasha), Lizzie (Andrew); her sister Aino (Paavo), nephew Ake (Eva), niece Margareth from Sweden; and 13 great-grandchildren plus numerous family members in Finland and Sweden. After leaving Finland in 1952, Hilkka settled in Ladysmith, B.C. with Erkki, where they raised three boys and slowly made their way â&#x20AC;&#x153;up the hillâ&#x20AC;? from 1st Avenue to Stillin Drive to Malone Road. Hilkka loved her crafts, her gardening, her baking, and most of all, her growing family. Her gentle spirit and caring heart ďŹ lled her house with love, where the door was always open to family and friends for tea (or coffee), stories, laughter, or simply quiet company while listening to Finnish music. Hilkkaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lettus, pulla, and her famous rice dish are legendary among her loving family. Throughout her years in Ladysmith, Hilkka could also be found at birthdays and holiday get-togethers, and around the town supporting her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren at any number of local events. Her love, kindness, and presence in our lives will be dearly missed. Though Hilkka remained self-sufďŹ cient in her own home until a month before her passing, she spent her last month in the Palliative Care wing of Nanaimo General Hospital. Her family would like to thank Dr. Julian Lisinski and the incredible Palliative Care staff from the depths of their hearts. There will be a Celebration of Life tea at 2:00 P.M. on Tuesday, Sept. 24 at 825 Malone Road.
