Anthony Cateaux finds ideas in nature P. 3

Whatever day teachers back to work, students will start one day later Karl Yu THE CHRONICLE

Stz’uminus First Nation Chief John Elliott was a good sport when he took his turn on the dunk tank during the grand re-opening of the Oyster Bay Store at the corner of Oyster Sto-Lo Road and the Trans-Canada Highway Thursday, Aug. 28. The dunk tank was a fundraiser, and all the money raised will go back into the community. The grand re-opening celebration also featured a bouncy castle, raffles, a fundraising car wash, hot dogs and onsite broadcasting by Coast FM. The celebration was put on by the Oyster Bay Store and sponsored by Core-Mark, Coca Cola, Pepsi and Van Houtte Coffee. LINDSAY CHUNG

The possibility of the B.C. teachers’ strike spilling into the scheduled first week of school is throwing a wrench into the Nanaimo-Ladysmith School District (SD68)’s preparations for the start of the school year. Donna Reimer, school district spokeswoman, said school is scheduled to start Wednesday, Sept. 3 but whether classes commence is absolutely dependent on what takes place at the bargaining table. The school district is ultimately hoping for a resolution but the uncertainty is making it difficult to make contingency plans and get ready for 2014-15, she said. “The biggest problem that we foresee is [this] week is the week that we take new registrations and the week that parents let us know if they aren’t coming back to their school ... so for schools to know exactly which kids they have, which ones are coming, what the new ones are, how much space they have, if schools are behind picket lines next week, then our start-up will be a bit more difficult,” Reimer said on Aug. 28. Rather than having parents heading to schools to register, crossing picket lines in the process, Reimer said the school district is recommending they call the school and talk to the principal. She said the school district board office has been behind picket lines since July 20 and, as a result, maintenance work on district schools has not been

completed, as related staff don’t wish to cross lines. “We have stopped watering our fields and they haven’t been maintained, so the fields might not be in the shape we’d like them to be, schools may not have all the updating projects that we would’ve liked to have done in the summer,” she said. In a letter to parents and students, SD68 superintendent Dave Hutchinson stated that whatever happens at the bargaining table, students will not attend on the first day that teachers and support staff are back in school. Students will attend on the second day that teachers and support staff are back in school, using the schedule that was previously planned for Wednesday, Sept. 3. Hutchinson warned that there may be extenuating circumstances at some schools, which will mean a change in the planned schedule. Hutchinson encourages parents and students to keep visiting www.sd68.bc.ca for updates. “We face a unique situation in our school district, because there have been pickets at our District Office and many schools for most of the summer,” Hutchinson states in his letter. “Support staff have not been able to report for work and we have not been able to carry out the many tasks that are essential for a safe and orderly start-up of schools. For that reason, we will use the first day that teachers and support staff are back at work to plan and organize school opening. Please note that these plans See Parents Page 3

The Terry Fox Run is ‘an event as much as a run’ Lindsay Chung the chronicle

Thirty-four years after Terry Fox was forced to end his Marathon of Hope, people across the country continue to run in his name every September. Inspired by Fox’s determination and dedication to finding a cure for cancer, communities gather to celebrate his legacy and support cancer research. Ladysmith’s Terry Fox Run will be held Sunday, Sept. 14 at the Frank Jameson Community Centre (FJCC) at 810 Sixth Ave., starting with registration at 10 a.m. The run starts at 11 a.m. and features a 2.5-kilometre route, a five-kilometre route, a 7.5-kilometre route and a 10-kilometre route. There is no entry fee and no minimum pledge, and the Terry Fox Run is suitable for walking, running, wheeling and riding. The Terry Fox Run is

non-competitive and is a community participation event rather than a race. “It’s for everybody; you don’t have to be an athlete,” said Anita McLeod, the Ladysmith Parks, Recreation and Culture community services co-ordinator. “It’s an event as much as a run. It’s called a run because Terry ran, but it’s for anyone. It’s more about our community coming together.” The route does not go up and down the hills of Ladysmith. McLeod says there’s a bit of a hill on Brown Drive, but that’s it. “It’s a very, very accessible event,” she said. Terry Fox was diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma (bone cancer) in his right leg in 1977 and had his leg amputated above the knee. While in hospital, he was so overcome by the suffering of other cancer patients that he decided to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research.

Fox died in June 1981 at the age of 22. Carrying on Fox’s dream, the Terry Fox Run raises money for the Terry Fox Foundation, an independent foundation with a single mission to support innovative cancer research. The foundation supports close to $20 million in discoverybased research each year in Canada. Eighty-four cents of every dollar raised by the foundation goes to cancer research. “The Terry Fox Foundation is a very worthy place for [the money]

Ladysmith Sportsmen’s Club grateful for funding for hatchery water line upgrades

“It’s an event as much as a run.” Anita McLeod, Page 5

Editor: The Ladysmith Sportsmen’s Club Bush Creek Hatchery site has received funding from the Pacific Salmon Foundation for hatchery water line upgrades. The Bush Creek Hatchery, operated by the Ladysmith Sportsmen’s Club volunteers, is located on TimberWest land on Bush Creek. The hatchery has been in operation for 23 years. The project taking place consists of the removal of original steel pipe, changing the water intake and looking for other water sources, such as a springfed well. We would like to add groundwater to our existing water flow from Bush Creek. We had a very dry fall in 2013, causing low water alarms to go off in early March, as well as freeze ups to the system. We are hoping by adding an additional water source that we can solve the water volume concerns, as well as add warmer groundwater to help aid in salmon rearing. Thank you to the Pacific Salmon Foundation, TimberWest, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Dr. Clough and the Ladysmith Sportsmen’s Club volunteers for all your support over the years enhancing salmon and salmon habitat.

Ruts in road to farmland changes BC Views

by Tom Fletcher

he month-long Agricultural Land Commission consultation closed Aug. 22, and the B.C. government is compiling the feedback received from a province-wide tour and invitation to comment. I can’t tell you much about the official input. The consultation sessions were by invitation only, with no media allowed, and the submissions via website are also not public. I reached Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick as he was traveling around B.C. conducting his own meetings with farmers. He’s not saying much, except that a summary of findings should be made public in September as the government considers new regulations. The aim of this exercise is to consider relaxing rules around secondary farmland uses in the Interior, Kootenay and North regions, as well as food processing and retail sales of food and beverages on farmland.

is allowing breweries and distilleries, as wine and cider production are now allowed, and relaxing rules to permit more off-farm products to be sold from farms. Letnick defended the 30day summer consultation as adequate. It’s based on 11 questions developed with staff, farm groups and local government. He’s also not counting how many emails were stacked up by proponents or critics. “I’m not conducting a plebiscite,” Letnick said. “What I’m trying to do is come up with the best balance of recommendations to make to government that can hold their own based on the idea and the potential positive and negative consequences.” NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham was more forthcoming. She was invited to the formal sessions, and won’t talk about them directly. But she’s not backing away from her criticisms. The government is proposing to bypass the Agricultural Land Commission for several kinds of deci-

A reader who attended the Kelowna session said even winery operators aren’t thrilled about the proposal to enlarge retail space and allow sales of wine or beer not made on site. He said “not one” participant there liked the idea of increasing industrial activity such as food processing or retailing. And he agreed with Popham that the ALC is doing a good job with subdivision applications. Popham also clarified the situation with the leased craft gin distillery on her own Vancouver Island farm. It started as a winery, and the conversion needed only local government approval because the production facility was already considered and taxed as light industrial. Victoria Gin has been a model for the government’s push to allow distilleries, breweries or meaderies on farmland. Given the B.C. Liberals’ love of liberalized liquor, I expect that change to go through. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press.

sions, including subdivision for family use or into properties of 160 acres or more. “I think the general idea was that people trust the ALC to make that decision, and it should still go through the commission,” Popham said. “Actually the commission has been making those decisions anyway, and I think they’ve been quite fair when somebody applies.” She said farmers also aren’t sold on the notion of easing the rules for secondary businesses. “You will already find situations where there’s, let’s say a welding shop or something like that attached to somebody’s residence who lives on ALR land,” Popham said. “That sort of stuff has been allowed, but it’s always had to go through the ALC or some sort of process that’s been in place. This leaves that process out, and so I think that’s the problem people are having.” She noted that non-farm activities have a way of growing until they become the main business.

Interested in learning more about the old South Wellington coal mining sites? Well-known Vancouver Island raconteur, historian, columnist and activist Tom Paterson guides tour participants back through time to the days when South Wellington was a major coal producer of our region and had several mines in operation exploring the riches of the Douglas coal seam during his Black Track Tours, and he’ll be leading one soon on Sunday, Sept. 14. Twenty spaces are available for this popular heritage walk. Tickets are $30 for one person or $25 each for two or more in a party. All ticket proceeds go to support Friends of Morden Mine in their attempts to preserve Morden’s historic head frame and tipple at Morden Colliery Historic Provincial Park. E-mail cchristo@shaw.ca or phone 250-714-0377 to reserve your spot. During the tours, Paterson dis-

cusses the conditions, challenges and culture of these early coal mining days, including the unnecessary suffering and deaths caused by lack of adequate safety standards, according to a press release from the Friends of Morden Mine. He also points out the long-lasting impact South Wellington area mines, as well as many others, had as economic catalysts for establishment of more permanent communities such as Nanaimo. The walk is low to moderate in difficulty and typically lasts up to four and a half hours. Participants are urged to wear clothing suitable for forecast weather and sturdy waterproof boots or shoes. Sunscreen and protective hats are recommended, and a packed lunch, snacks, water or juice sufficient for the length of the walk are essential, according to the Friends of Morden Mine. Participants meet at 10 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 14 at Morden Colliery Provincial Park in front of the head frame. Find a map online at www. mordenmine.com.

Flashes and Floaters Several times each week patients call our Optometry clinics with symptoms of new floaters in their vision and/or flashes of light. The sudden onset of these symptoms can be concerning and for good reason - they can signal something very serious like a retinal tear or detachment. More commonly, they signify an aging change in the vitreous of the eye called a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD). If you or someone you know experiences new flashing lights or floaters you should see your Optometrist or other eye care professional right away. We always try to fit any patients with these symptoms into our schedules as emergencies the day they call. So what’s the big deal about these visual phenomena and what can cause them? It is important to first differentiate flashes and floaters from other visual symptoms as the causes can be quite different. Perceived flashes of light are called photopsias and can last seconds or longer. The flashes in the case of a PVD are brief, momentary experiences of light that are often seen off to one side and are usually most noticed in dark environments. Some people describe them as lightning flashes. Flashes of light can also be from a migraine aura, in which case the duration is usually around 20-30 minutes, the flashes may be large areas of wavy colored lines and are sometimes followed by a headache. Migraine auras are more likely in patients under the age of 40 and often occur in both eyes off to the same side. These symptoms in older patients without a past history of migraine are more concerning since they can actually be warning signs for strokes. Floaters are small dots, wavy strings or cobweb-shaped shadows that float around in your vision. They will often move out of the way when you try to look at them. These should not be confused with a blind spot, which is a fixed area of blurry or missing vision that does not move around with eye movements but rather always stays in the same location relative to your direction of gaze. Floaters are the main focus of this article but just be aware that a new transient or permanent blind spot in the field of vision should also prompt immediate investigation. Blind spots can be from problems with the retina or could potentially be something like an infarction in the brain or retina or a transient ischemic attack. The retina is the thin, light sensitive layer of tissue lining the inside of the eye. Next to the retina, making up the main bulk of the eye, is the vitreous. The vitreous is a gel-like substance that maintains the round shape of the eyeball. The vitreous has many fine fibers that connect it to the retina at various locations. As the eye gets older, changes take place and the vitreous becomes more liquefied in some areas and it eventually shrinks and pulls away from the retina. This pulling away is known as a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD). PVDs are most common in individuals over the age of 50 years and become even more likely with increasing age. PVDs can occur in people of any age especially if there has been head or eye trauma or in those who are nearsighted. There is usually a sudden increase in new floaters noticed when a PVD first occurs because some of the fine fibers that connected the vitreous to the retina are now suspended and floating in front of the retina causing shadows. The flashes often seen while a PVD is first occurring are due to pulling of the vitreal attachments on the retina which the brain interprets as flashes of light. A PVD in itself is not a harmful condition and requires no treatment. The new floaters often break down or become less noticeable with time. However, there are some cases where the shrinking of the vitreous away from the retina actually pulls away a piece of retina. If this occurs it is usually in the far edges of the retina and can be either a hole, tear or break in the retina. The retina may continue to tear and this can lead to a retinal detachment which can cause blindness if not treated promptly. Acute retinal tears and detachments are emergencies and must be assessed and treated by a retinal specialist within a few hours to a few days Includes for the best visual outcomes. Occasionally, a PVD can cause a hole in the macula, the part of the retina online responsible for central vision. This can present as distortion or a blind spot near the centre of vision and access should be assessed by a retinal specialist. If you experience new floaters, flashing lights or a curtain in your vision you should see your eye care professional right away. They will most likely put dilation drops in your eyes (you will need to bring a driver with you to the appointment) to get a wide internal view of your eye. Your eye doctor will be able to fully assess your eye health to determine if you have had a simple PVD or a retinal tear, or if there is another cause for your symptoms. After your thorough eye exam your Optometrist will explain the diagnosis and make any necessary referrals to specialists if there is a retinal tear or detachment. After a PVD first occurs you should carefully monitor for another sudden increase in floaters, more flashing lights or a curtain in any part of your vision that could mean a new retinal tear or detachment. If any of these things happen you should get in to see your Optometrist again right away. It is always better to be safe than sorry - you only have two eyes!

Singing together is good for your health Staff Writer the chronicle

Choir director Mary Dennison is a big believer in the benefits of singing, and she’s backed up by articles in print, books and interviews on the airwaves. “There is so much evidence now showing the physical, neurological and psychological benefits of singing in a choir,” she says in a press release. “Not singing in the shower on your own (although that is also wonderful!) but singing in the joyful company of others.” Dennis has found evidence that singing in a choir boosts your mental health; singing is good for your body and soul; choir members who sing together have synchronized heartbeats; singing is as beneficial to your health as yoga; singing is helpful to those diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s, people who suffer from blocked airways and ravaged lungs, and patients recovering from strokes. Dennison says we all know that singing together feels good, and now Stacy Horn shows in her book Imperfect Harmony: How Singing With Others Changes Your Life that: “Group singing has been scientifically proven to lower stress, relieve anxiety and elevate endorphins.”

Olympic soccer stars coming to Ladysmith Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE

Soccer players in Ladysmith will get a chance to learn from some of this country’s top female players this Thursday and Friday. On Thursday, Sept. 4 and Friday, Sept. 5, the Mid-Isle Soccer Club will host four members of Canada’s Olympic bronze medal-winning Women’s National Soccer Team. Melissa Tancredi, Karina LeBlanc, Diana Matheson and Rhian Wilkinson will be at Forrest Field in Ladysmith to provide two-hour training sessions, photos and autographs for local soccer players. Additionally, a Leadership Luncheon question-and-answer session for registered players will be held at the

Transfer Beach Amphitheater Friday, Sept. 5 at 11:30 a.m. “The players themselves are who spearheaded this,” said Lynn Krynowsky, whose child plays for Mid-Isle Tier 3 rep and who has been working on getting the Olympic players to Ladysmith for more than a year. “They really wanted to come to the Island. I started talking to them a year ago, and this is one of the places they pointed to. It’s very exciting that we get to showcase our island. I’m very thrilled.” The fee for the luncheon is $15. Registered players and their parents and siblings will get priority, and if there are spaces left, the Leadership Luncheon will be opened up to the public. Krynowsky says this will be an opportunity to hear from the players and ask them questions.

“They are going to tell their Sept. 4 from 7-9 p.m. stories,” she said. “Melissa There will also be a training Tancredi is a chiropractic session for players born from doctor; they’re highly educat- 1997-2000 (U15-U18) Friday, ed.

LADYSMITH The Ladysmith dragon boat race team, Poetry in M’Ocean, participated in the dragon boat races at Gorgefest in Victoria last month. “Many of us were first year paddlers, and we were pleased to improve our time in each race,” states Pam Fraser. “We placed seventh in the women’s division, competing against more experienced teams. However, we believe we had the best spirit and best warm-up routine of any team there.” PHOTO SUBMITTED

DEATHS

Trevorrow, David Victor Noel Beloved father and grandfather, died peacefully in Victoria, B.C. on August 22, 2014; age 81. He is predeceased by Martha, wife of 48 years, and survived by children Mark, Marianne, and Michael, and grandsons Ricardo, Ian, Rory, and Samuel. At Davidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request, no formal memorial service will be held. Born and raised in depression-era and war-time London, England, David graduated from HMS Conway naval school in 1949. He then followed an adventurous career as a navigational ofďŹ cer with the Royal Navy and with the Union-Castle steamship line. He immigrated to Canada in 1956, and after a short career with the RCN qualiďŹ ed as a B.C. Land Surveyor in 1960. In the late 1960â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s he was one of the founding faculty of the B.C. Institute of Technology. The bulk of his career was spent as a land surveyor, working initially for McElhanney Associates and then starting a private practice in 1983. David and Martha raised their family in Port Moody and Chilliwack, B.C., before retiring to Ladysmith, B.C. in 1994. They were both active in the Ladysmith Yacht Club and took many happy trips along the B.C. coast in their sailboat. A lifelong sailor, David instilled in his children and grandsons a love of storytelling, sailing and adventure. He will be missed by family and friends, and forever remembered for his sense of humour and optimistic outlook.
