Ladysmith’s Holland Creek Trail is open again Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE

After conservation officers did not find the cougar that had acted aggressively the week before on the Holland Creek Trail, the popular Ladysmith trail has been re-opened. The Town of Ladysmith is putting up temporary signage to warn people that this area is a wildlife corridor, and conservation officers will continue to monitor the Holland Creek Trail for activity. Conservation officer Troy Sterling was one of the conservation officers in Ladysmith over the weekend. He explains that they installed electronic surveillance to monitor the cougar’s move-

Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE

When Rob Kernachan of Saltair opens up today’s Chronicle, he’ll find his 2,000th published cartoon in its familiar spot on page six. Kernachan remembers that his first cartoon for the Chronicle more than 20 years ago was on horse logging. It was one of five he had submitted to the Chronicle’s editor in hopes of getting the cartoonist job, and this was also when he got his first letter, when his neighbour was upset with the cartoon. Kernachan got his start with the Chronicle when he heard the editor at the time in 1991 was looking for someone to draw some cartoons on local issues. He remembers that Jean Mowat, who was good friends with his mother, saw the ad in the paper and told his mother, and then his mother told him because he had done cartoons for a while. He submitted five cartoons to the editor, and all five were published. “I thought it might be fun,” he said. “I didn’t have any long-term plans.” Kernachan was drawing cartoons for the Chronicle when John McKinley was the editor here, and when McKinley moved on to the Cowichan News Leader Pictorial, Kernachan recalls that McKinley decided he wanted a local cartoonist, and Kernachan was one of three contributors. Ted Zemek recently

— don’t mess with the kids; that will get you some attention. I’ve never liked people ragging on the kids because I was a kid, and I’m pretty sure they were kids.” Humour is what keeps Kernachan interested in cartooning. “I try to put humour in my cartoons, and it’s a great vehicle to get my humour out there to more people,” he said. “I guess I am kind of interested in what goes on. “To me, the deadline is nothing — there’s no pressure,” he added. “I just know I have to have a cartoon. It’s easy for me, as opposed to things that are hard for me, like anything mechanical or construction or mowing the lawn, all the tough stuff.” Kernachan say he cartoons for his Aunt Eleanor because every Tuesday morning, she sits with a cup of coffee and reads the Chronicle for his cartoon. “She lives in Ladysmith and was really pleased I was a cartoonist for the paper,” he said, adding he also cartoons for everyone who reads the paper. Kernachan says he looks up to pretty well any cartoonist he sees. He likes Farside and Gary Larson, as well as Raeside cartoons, and he appreciates any cartoon that is humourous. “I can read more in a cartoon that most people, probably,” he said. “I love the colour funnies. I can go through them like they are a novel.”

Thom organizing Indigenous mapping workshop Indigenous communities across Canada are engaged in intensively mapping their lands, waters, resources and knowledge. These maps have unparalleled importance today, not only for future generations celebrating Indigenous knowledge, but also in discussions over land and resource development and the recognition of Indigenous rights. The University of Victoria (UVic) is continuing its leadership with collaborative Indigenous mapping research by bringing together more than 100 representatives from Indigenous organizations across Canada for a four-day intensive workshop beginning Monday, Aug. 25. “This workshop connects Indigenous communities from across Canada who are using sophisticated mapping technologies to assert Aboriginal title and treaty rights, and to celebrate cultural knowledge about the land,” says Dr. Brian Thom, assistant professor of anthropology

YOUR WORDS

“You have to find your place and then once you do, get back to what’s at your core, which was the artwork.” Michael Dean, Page 7

Points to Ponder Gloria Cope-Munro Chemainus United Church

ust over eight years ago, my husband Ralph passed away. During my first year alone, my son and his family invited me to visit them at their lovely home in Singapore. I went in January with an open ticket, as they were hoping I would stay to help when the new baby arrived in May, if only to take care of five-year-old Joshua, baby’s older brother. In spite of loving care from family, grief and longing for my Ralph sometimes overwhelmed me. I sought out a church to attend, but after attending three, I began to realize the faith communities in Singapore were more into naming and judging humanity’s social sins of the flesh rather than teaching Jesus’s message of love and caring for each other. This, even on Easter Sunday. Not to be deterred, I cornered a young woman wearing a cross often seen in the pool area. “Are you a Christian?” I shyly asked. In a place where Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism and other religions are part of the community, I felt this was an important question to ask at this time. Heather responded with a big smile, saying “yes.” She had recently returned from the U.S. and was looking for a new job. Long story short, we began to hang out together until the time I left. One night when I was especially lonely, I fell asleep praying that Ralph would somehow appear to me, if only to let me know that he was OK. Not to be disappointed, he came to me in a very vivid dream. While there was nonsense bits attached to it as there always is, the message was very real. Every couple has their signals or signs which are only identifiable to each other. Ours appeared. The message was that he was alright and must get on, and for me to let go. When I woke up the next morning, I knew that the painful grief I had been carrying was lifting. Faith is what carried my husband to the other side. He had no fear and toward the end became quite impatient, just wanting to get on with it. My faith continues to grow while attending Chemainus United Church.

What we know about the Mount Polley spill BC Views

by Tom Fletcher

oday, I’ll attempt to cut through the speculation and fear-mongering that have swirled around the Mount Polley mine dam breach and tell you what’s really known. As Black Press and our local publication the Williams Lake Tribune reported before and after the incident, the mine reopened in 2005 after a four-year shutdown and was expanding its operation, including the tailings pond. Rising metal prices helped put 380 unionized employees plus management back to work. Most are now working on rebuilding the tailings dam and cleaning up the spill site. Imperial Metals applied earlier this summer for an increase in water discharge, and was waiting for B.C. government approval at the time of the Aug. 4 dam breach. This was to be the second amendment to a water release permit issued when the mine started up

in 1997. It has had a surplus of water due to rain and snow accumulation since it opened (under an NDP government, for those who want to turn everything into a political corruption story). The reason water release has been allowed is that in the absence of acid-producing rock, metal contamination of water is minimized. Imperial Metals’ routine tests with rainbow trout in undiluted tailings pond water have now been confirmed by environment ministry results, and water and fish from all but the immediate spill area have been cleared for human consumption. For an example of acid mine drainage, look up the Britannia Mine Museum, now a reclaimed national historic site with a water treatment plant built to function for hundreds of years. Before that, acidproduced toxic metal pollution drained from the abandoned mine into Howe Sound for decades. Early tests at Mount Polley indicate that this sort of

inspectors and geotechnical engineers can determine the cause of the breach, which occurred with the water level 2.5 metres below the top of the dam, well within permit specifications. Either the design of the earthworks was not adequate, or it was not adequately followed. TV crews have packed up and left, after sucking out the initial drama and retailing every sensational claim they could find. Tourism operators are pleading with people not to turn their backs on the region after that influx of visitors. Professional environmentalists are now exploiting Mount Polley as part of their campaign to de-industrialize B.C. A key propaganda tool is a single picture of a salmon with skin removed from part of its dorsal region. No such fish has been produced, and a single rainbow trout collected the day of the spill is the only confirmed aquatic casualty. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press.

long-term water remediation may not be required. The initial pulse of suspended sediment didn’t last long enough to affect fish in most of Quesnel Lake, much less the Fraser River system. Sediment tests show elevated iron and copper, with “leachability” results to come. Containment and removal will have to be undertaken. On May 24 of this year, Mount Polley received the first high water warning in its history. This was not a “breach,” contrary to some reports. The latest water permit application and work to raise the dam took place after that. It’s not difficult to deduce from aerial photos what was happening as mine management found ways to extend operation, including an underground phase. The pond was filling up with pulverized rock, reducing its capacity to hold water. Most of the accumulation is still there for all to see, as is the cross-section of the dam so abruptly exposed in the wee hours of Aug. 4. It may be months before

Freud’s Last Session is a lively battle of wits Staff Writer THE CHRONICLE

What happens when you put Sigmund Freud and C.S. Lewis in the same room? Find out during a limited two-week appearance at The Chemainus Theatre Festival’s Studio Theatre, as the two legendary and contrary thinkers boldly debate the great questions of our time. Freud’s Last Session, which opens Wednesday, Aug. 20, is a lively battle of wits between the illustrious psychoanalyst and the young academic and writer C.S. Lewis. The tensions of World War II spill over into an intellectually thrilling, insightful, and humorous clash of ideologies, philosophies and social perspectives. Freud’s Last Session, written by Mark St. Germain, is considered a “tantalizing ... well-written,” (The New York Times) story of “substance, wit, and poignancy”

(Variety). Brought to the stage under vigorous direction of Daniel vanHeyst, the play delivers the most profound and deeply satisfying experience, due in part to the “assured and passionate performances” (Edmonton Sun) of actors Michael Peng (as C.S. Lewis) and Randy Fritz (as Dr. Freud), according to a press release. “The actors captivate from the first debate to the last by expertly creating tension between the extremely different views, yet shared passion, between their characters,” states The Chemainus Theatre Festival. Lewis is a social and optimistic young man with a strong sense of faith and way with words. Though confident in his beliefs, he enters the story dreading the reprimand that a recently-penned satire has surely earned him. However, the ailing Dr. Freud has a more significant agenda in his rather secular, pessimistic mind.

In a series of debates, they will clash on matters of God, love, sex, friendship, and the fragility of life — mere weeks before Freud takes his own, and war takes many others. Freud’s Last Session, a 2014 Sterling Award nominee, succeeds at the Festival’s mission to thoughtfully and creatively explore various elements of life and relationships. For believers and skeptics of all kinds, this upcoming “Session” at The Chemainus Theatre Festival offers ringside seats to a passionate exchange of banter between two famous and fascinating men. See them hurl questions — and discover compassion — in successive oneupmanship of human imagination. Tickets for the matinee and evening shows Aug. 20-23 and Aug. 27-30 are available at www. chemainustheatrefestival.ca, or by calling The Chemainus Theatre Festival box office at 1-800-565-7738.

Knelson and Humphries shine at age group nationals Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE

Ladysmith swimmers are making a splash on a national level. Ladysmith-Chemainus Orcas Swim Club members Faith Knelson and Aileen Humphries recently competed at the Canadian Age Group Championships July 23-27 in Winnipeg. At the meet, Knelson, 12, swam 10 events, made finals in every event and won two gold medals, five silvers and one bronze. “The main thing for me with her achievements is making finals in every single event and eight of them medals,” said Orcas coach Dusan Toth-Szabo. “The other is she swam all four strokes, so that means even her so-called weakest stroke, the backstroke, she got fifth and fifth. The other three and individual medley were all medals.” Humphries, who is also 12, swam five events and made finals in the 50m, 100m and 200m breaststroke. “The good thing for me as a coach is she made finals in all three breaststroke events,” said Toth-Szabo. “You can see the huge improvements — a year ago, she couldn’t make

I thank her for being there and getting me to where I am today.” With a couple of weeks off before the swim season starts again in September, Humphries says her goals for 2014-15 are to make the Canadian Junior West Team and to medal at the next Canadian Age Group Nationals. She also wants to make her team and coach proud. Knelson is looking ahead to the next two years. “My goals are to perform and succeed in the next two years and to hopefully make the Canadian Junior Team and start to swim worldwide,” she said. Humphries and Knelson both hope they can share the age group nationals experience with more teammates next year. “Hopefully some of our teammates can improve and progress — like Pamela [Little],” said Knelson. “I’m hoping she can make nationals next year. We’re very proud of Pamela for representing us at the North American Indigenous Games and medaling there.”

Day Five After a great night in Seattle, we woke up to rain, lots of rain, so we went underground to visit the old, hidden city of Seattle. These tours take visitors on a walk through the ruins of Seattle after the massive fire of 1886 and the rebuilding that took place. Seattle is built on top of the old city; there are tunnels and abandoned sections of buildings there to explore. Time to head home. The Grand Cherokee never set another wheel wrong; it was fantastic in the heavy rain and very solid on the highway. After 1,300 plus kilometres behind the wheel, I averaged 8.5L/100km.

Question of the Week With the exception of Alberta and Quebec, drivers across Canada can be served with an Immediate Roadside Prohibition (IRP) if they blow 0.05 mg/100ml at the roadside. Should those two provinces fall into line with other provinces? Go to DrivewayCanada.ca to submit your answer. QUESTION

OF THE WEEK!

Safety Tip: There are many ways to show courtesy behind the wheel, including allowing space for other drivers to change lanes or manouevre. Driver courtesy is contagious, so wave at the next driver who lets you merge in front of them – they may just pay it forward to another driver.
