Carmen Gibson of Choptsix Salon sheers Corey Cross’s long locks for the Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock Monday, Sept. 30 as the town celebrates the Tour’s arrival. Cross, an 11-year-old Ladysmith Intermediate School student, raised “just over $4,000” in the process, a sum later matched by Ladysmith’s Coastal Trucking.

Tour brings inspiring stories

www.ladysmithchronicle.com

YOUR WORDS

www.chemainuschronicle.com

“It has some humour, but there are also some life stories in it.” Joanne Rowland, Page 12

s we worked on producing this week’s paper on Monday, Sept. 30, it was hard to concentrate as we counted down the hours to the Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock’s arrival in Ladysmith. The day the Tour de Rock comes to town is always exciting, emotional and inspiring. The riders bring with them reasons to laugh and reasons to cry, but, most of all, reasons to keep supporting them. By the time the 21 riders arrived in Ladysmith Monday afternoon, they had ridden more than 640 kilometres. They had ridden many hills and the infamous Port Alberni Hump and ridden through some awful weather. They’d done it as a team, and when you read the Tour de Rock riders’ blog (http://www.tourderock.ca/blog/) or watch or read any of the media coverage, you learn that it’s people who give them the strength to keep going. It’s their teammates and crew, it’s people who cheer them on as they ride, and it’s the people they meet in each community who share their stories that really push them and remind them why they’re riding. Hearing those stories also reminds us why it’s important to donate to the Tour de Rock if we can. All along the ride, the team has met children who have gone through cancer treatments or are currently undergoing treatments. The Tour raises money to send those children and their families to Camp Goodtimes. The ride itself is incredibly inspiring, and so is the way our community embraces it. An incredible amount of work goes into planning events to celebrate the Tour’s arrival in Ladysmith and to raise money, and we want to thank everyone who has played a part in organizing Tour de Rock activities and who has raised or donated money. Many people have done remarkable things to raise money, like Dave Street spending 60 hours on a scissor lift (during our first big storm, no less) and Corey Cross growing so much hair and having it shaved. We hope the stories the Tour de Rock brings inspire you as much as they’ve inspired us. You can read all about the Tour’s arrival next week. —Lindsay Chung

Canadian businesses being hit with escalating fees

any Canadians were dismayed by some of the changes proposed in the last two federal budgets. While much attention focused on the changes to the protection of navigable waters or the dismantling of environmental legislation, two other changes came to light over the summer that will affect people in our area. The first is a decision by Conservatives to changes the fees charged to international musicians. Previously, the fee for performers was $150 per band member with a maximum of $450 for the entire band. That allowed the band to play anywhere in the country and at any venue. Now, the regulations state that any venue where music is not the main business must pay an application fee of $275 per musician and anyone touring with the band as well as a work permit fee of $150 for each person. This is on top of any

performance fees the musicians may charge — the money they actually make when touring, which helps pay for travel, wages for the crew and to pay for their recordings. It isn’t clear how this will affect festivals that use municipal grounds or halls for their events, like the popular concerts at the Transfer Beach Ampitheatre. By using the same fees and permits for touring musicians as they use for temporary workers who come to Canada and take full-time, permanent positions, the Conservatives are demonstrating their lack of understanding of

how the arts and culture sector works. New Democrats are demanding that the federal government reconsider how these fees are applied to touring musicians and their crew and provide a system that supports the sector, not one that may force many small bars and restaurants to close. But they are not the only businesses in Canada that have been hit with escalating fees by the Conservative government. A new report from accounting experts Deloitte points out that Budget 2013 will raise the tax rate charged to credit unions by 17 per cent.

New Democrats opposed the decision to eliminate the small business tax rate for credit unions, which the federal government claimed would make the playing ground between Canada’s big banks and credit unions fairer and more neutral. Now, the credit unions will have to pay more than banks because there is a technical amendment in the Budget Implementation Act, C-60, that changes the definition of which income is eligible for a rate reduction but only for credit unions. If it is not amended by legislation, by 2017, will have to pay the increased tax rate on 100 per cent of their income, while banks enjoy a reduced rate on a percentage of their income. In real terms, this means the federal tax burden on credit unions will double over the next five years. That doesn’t seem fair or neutral to me. A link to the Deloitte report is on my website at www.jeancrowder.ca.

“The geese are in fact flying over already and September’s cool breath is sighing across the fields.” The aim of this letter is certainly not to detract from the hard work of the Ladysmith Days Committee, neither the generous sponsors, nor the Parks and Recreation people who all truly deserve praise for the unstinting time, effort and valuable financial aid to the summer celebrations, but simply bring to the notice of all concerned the problems that are often brought about by not policing their efforts as closely as they might.

Power and Sail Squadron celebrates 75th anniversary

Lindsay Chung the chronicle

As the Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons (CPS) celebrates its 75th anniversary in 2013, the organization is made up of 26,000 members in 155 squadrons across Canada. One of those squadrons is the Mount Brenton Power and Sail in Ladysmith, www.tenpercentshift.ca Squadron and on Sunday, Sept. 29, the squadron, which has been providing boating safety training since 1977, celebrated this milestone by receiving the CPS 75th anniversary flag from the Gabriola Squadron during a ceremony at the Ladysmith Mari- Mount Brenton Power and Sail Squadron training officer Art Rendell dips the time Society Welcome Canadian Power and Sails Squadron 75th anniversary flag into the water at the Centre.

ing to do the same.

Dry eye is probably the most common eye condition that omega-3’s are prescribed for. Omega-3’s have been shown to dramatically reduce dry eye symptoms and signs. Tears are kept from falling off our eyes with a special oily secretion produced in our eyelids. This oily secretion can sometimes become less like olive oil and more like butter. When that happens, the oils can get jammed up inside of our eyelids and our tears end up on their own with nothing keeping them on our eyes. The tears will either evaporate or fall out of our eyes, causing dry eyes. It’s thought that omega-3’s help stabilize those oily secretions and keep them the consistency of olive oil, therefore preventing tear evaporation and dry eye. Some studies have shown that omega-3’s may even help prevent the occurrence or progression of macular degeneration. Macular degeneration can be a visually devastating disease, and with no cure in sight, preventative methods are all we have. Omega-3’s aren’t just for adults either. A Harvard study compared the visual acuity of infants fed with formula with and without omega-3’s. The group of infants that were given the omega-3 formula had better visual acuity at 2-4 months than the infants who were not receiving the omega-3 formula. Studies have also shown that when mothers have a diet higher in omega-3’s, their child tends to have better visual acuity at 2-4 months due to more intake of omega-3’s through their mother’s milk. There are many foods that are packed with healthy omega-3’s. As mentioned earlier, cold water fish, including salmon, mackerel, tuna, and sardines are a great source for the essential fatty acid. Fresh caught fish are a better source for omega-3’s than farm caught fish. If you aren’t a fan of fish there are plenty of other options for you. Dark green leafy vegetables, walnuts, olive oil, and flaxseed have lots of omega-3’s. There’s also the option of supplements, such as fish oil pills, krill oil pills, and many more. While the supplements are a great option, studies do tend to favor the benefits of omega-3’s from food sources over supplement sources. So switch out that canola oil for olive oil, enjoy that tuna sandwich, and make it a sushi night for a doctor approved feast!

years old this year. “The number of people Power and Sail Squadrons have trained over the years is in the hundreds of thousands,” said Rendell. “The entire operation, every facet of what goes on at Power and Sail Squadrons, is done by volunteers. There are around 30,000 volunteers from coast to coast, and the number of man hours that are put in, I suspect, are incalculable.” Tim Hornett, Vice Commodore of the Ladysmith Yacht Club, noted the club and the Mount Brenton Power and Sail Squadron work closely together. “There are very few organizations that have made as much of an impact on keeping people safe on the water than Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons,” he said. Nick Epp-Evans of Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue Unit 29 also highlighted the significant impact CPS makes and the cooperation within the boating community. “We in Unit 29 look toward Mount Brenton Power and Sail Squadron as having what can only be described as a symbiotic relationship,” he said. “CPS can be directly linked to saving lives on the water.”

Stead grabs your imagination Thank You ... Chronicle

A&E

Community art showcase Sherry Bezanson Ladysmith Arts Council

Lee Stead’s artwork grabs your imagination and inspires your senses in a lively, engaged way. She has an impressionistic style that flows with rounded edges and playfulness in her stroke. Her art focuses on west coast images and everyday life, using bright and muted colour in a way that ignites the viewer’s anticipation. Stead is drawn to the painterly approach in her art, a style that celebrates the use of paint and the sensuousness of the brush stroke, rather than trying to hide this. Stead started her art career 30 years ago in fashion design, making costumes and doing pattern cutting, custom sewing and batiking. In the 1980s, it was a watercolour class that moved her from the cutting room to the canvas. In the 1990s, she discovered acrylic paint, and although the transition was initially a challenge, she’s never looked back. During that period, she also discovered ceramics and loved the feel and added creativity of handbuilt ceramic work, rather than using a wheel. Out of this evolved Stead’s three-dimensional works, often using language and images to express her creative thoughts with clay. She quickly found a demand and began teaching adults and

children her personalized style. Stead reports being consistent in her artistic endeavours, and she alternates between acrylic painting and ceramic work. She might spend a few months working on canvas, then change to doing clay work. “When you get into clay, you have to keep working things, depending on drying times, and so it keeps you engaged with each phase of the project,” she explains. Stead states that she is inspired by the impressionist artists such as Van Gogh, Cezanne and ToulouseLautrec. She loves the work of the esteemed and contemporary potter from the Sunshine Coast, Laurie Rolland. Stead is currently working on a series of small ceramic owls and, following a painting retreat to Thetis Island, acrylic paintings of closeups of the shoreline. Stead’s work has a whimsical nature and playful style that delights the palette. It can be seen at many galleries on Vancouver Island. She is also a member of the Arrowsmith Potters Guild in Parksville. Look for her in the upcoming Nanaimo Pottery Co-op Christmas Sale Nov. 1-3 and the Comox Valley Potters Guild Christmas Show on Nov. 9. Pictured above is an example of the impressionistic artwork created by Lee Stead, who started her art career 30 years ago. PHOTO SUBMITTED

[The actors] are all so generous with helping each other and trusting each other. It’s a good ensemble cast.” Rowland says Seeing Stars in Dixie has a very simple set — which was designed by her husband, Bruce — and that lets the audience really focus on the characters. “We’ve kept everything minimal so the audience can enjoy the interaction with the characters because this is really a character-driven play,” she said.

In the Coronation Mall Ladysmith

Darian Harris, a former right winger with the Bantam AAA Cowichan Capitals, will spend the 2013–14 hockey season playing with the Pacific Sea Devils in Victoria, an elite Minor Midget team representing the Pacific Coast Hockey Academy. Harris — a member of Stz’uminus First Nation and the lone aboriginal player on PCHA’s U16 squad — said he loves attending B.C.’s newest Hockey Canada Sports School. COURTESY SPOTZIE’S HOCKEY CAMP Nick Bekolay THE CHRONICLE

Darian Harris hopes to fast-track his way to the big leagues by packing four seasons’ worth of hockey into a single school year. To help further his ambitions, the 15-year-old right winger from Stz’uminus First Nation has moved to Victoria to attend the Pacific Coast Hockey Academy. Harris is one of 17 elite Vancouver Island Minor Midget hockey players who will train with the academy through its first year in operation. Under the watchful eye of PCHA coach Kelly Shields — who will be aided, in turn, by current and former NHL players, college and university coaches and Junior hockey coaches — Harris and his puck-handling peers will hone their skills both on and off the ice for a minimum of 12.5 hours each week from now through June. A typical minor hockey team, by comparison, plays only twice a week through a far shorter season, Harris said, meaning that he and his PCHA Pacific Sea Devils teammates will log four seasons’ worth of ice time by year’s end. He’s only been involved with the program for a few weeks now, but Harris is convinced PCHA has already helped him improve at “everything” hockeyrelated. Harris plans to use his year at the academy as a “stepping stone to Major Midget,” he said, and he anticipates

spending “a year or two” at the next level before graduating to the WHL, preferably as a Tri-City American. Harris’s ultimate goal is to play in the NHL, he said, but he has “no clue” what professional team he would like to eventually suit up for. Harris is focused, instead, on Pacific Sea Devils’ hockey and schoolwork. He spends Monday and Wednesday mornings studying Grade 10 math, science, English and socials at the WestShore Centre for Learning and Training. Tuesday, Thursday and Friday mornings, meanwhile, are spent completing assignments either from home or at the rink, he said, and the remainder of his week is devoted to hockey. A typical weekday afternoon consists of on-ice time at the Bear Mountain Arena followed by dryland training at the Ice Centre for Excellence, PCHA’s home rink, Harris said, with weekends devoted to games and tournaments. Daunting though it may be, their training regimen has already begun to pay off. At a recent tournament, a coach from Penticton’s Okanagan Hockey Academy suggested that Vancouver Island players weren’t skilled enough to compete against their mainland peers. It was an opinion the Pacific Sea Devils saw fit to challenge. “We played them in that tournament and we beat them 3–2,” Harris said. In closing, the former Bantam AAA Cowichan Capital summed up his hockey prep school experience by

stating: “I love it here.” Pacific Sea Devils coach and PCHA founder Kelly Shields referred to Harris as “a very skilled hockey player.” The Pacific Sea Devils visited Vancouver in mid-September to take part in their first tournament of the year, Shields said, competing against teams from the province’s top hockey prep schools and academies. While facing off against “the best competition of 15 year olds in the province,” Harris “scored a couple of really big goals” for his team, Shields added. “He’s got good speed and he’s a really skilled player,” Shields explained, “and at 15, he still hasn’t fully grown. “Our program gives kids an opportunity to grow and develop as 15 year olds so that they’re ready to step into the role of a 16 year old when they’re physically and mentally ready to take on that role.” Tim Harris, Darian’s father, said he’s “really proud” of his son, adding that “there’s not a ton of elite First Nation players” competing at Major Junior and professional levels. To help Darian realize his potential, Tim will pay PCHA $17,000 over the course of the year. Tim hopes to raise at least part of that sum through donations and fundraisers, he said. Any hockey fans interested in donating to Darian’s cause can reach Tim by phone at 250-245-3522 or by e-mail at tim.harris@stzuminus.com.

Volleyball returns to LSS Volleyball returned to Ladysmith Secondary School last week as the Grade 8 Girls hosted a mini tournament Wednesday, Sept. 25 attended by teams from Nanaimo District Secondary, John Barsby Secondary and Dover Bay Secondary schools. Ladysmith played a trio of “close-matched games,” coach Laura Mazurenko said.

The 49ers defeated Dover Bay’s “B” squad before losing their matches against NDSS and Barsby by identical scores of 23–25. The LSS Junior Girls play Wednesday at home, Mazurenko said, and the Grade 8 Girls play an away game at Cedar that same day. LSS won’t be fielding any Boys volleyball teams this year, Mazurenko added.

49er Piper Doerkson serves during a Grade 8 Girls mini tournament hosted by LSS Wednesday, Sept. 25. LSS defeated Dover B, but lost 23–25 to both NDSS and John Barsby, coach Laura Mazurenko said. NICK BEKOLAY

Predeceased by her parents Jack Greenhorn and Margaret Morris. Shirley and Reg would have been married 52 years on August 4, 2013 but missed it by four days. Shirley was born at the Ladysmith Hospital. She worked in Vancouver as a nurse and then as a hairdresser. When living in Ocean Falls she worked as a custodian for the Ocean Falls High School, but the greatest job of all was being our MOM. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Momâ&#x20AC;? We may be apart, but you will never be forgotten, because you are always in our hearts. You were taken away too early to go on your journey. We love you and miss you so much, but now youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re an ANGEL. Mom you will always be the number one MOM. We all love you so much, until we meet again mom. Forever with LOVE, Greg, Sandy and Pam. XOXOXOX. The family wants to extend their profound thanks to the entire staff at the Nanaimo Regional General Hospital Palliative Unit. We would also like to thank Dr. Lisinski and Roxanne and all the other doctors and nurses involved with mom. Thank you to everyone who made meals and baked goods, and for the many ďŹ&#x201A;owers and cards. Special Thanks to momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Friends and Family who came to see mom before her journey to Heaven.
