Three running for mayor — and Hutchins is not one Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE

There will be a three-way race for the mayor’s seat in the Town of Ladysmith. And what may come as a surprise is that Ladysmith’s longest-serving mayor, Rob Hutchins, is not on that list.

News

Carter honoured by Motorsport Hall of Fame Lindsay Chung

THE CHRONICLE

When Diana Carter won her first auto race, she was featured on CBC News. It was big news because it was the early 1960s, and she was racing against 19 men in Eugène, Que. It certainly wouldn’t be her last win. Carter, who raced primarily at Mosport Park (now called Canadian Tire Motorsport Park), went on to win some 40 trophies over the next five years. And now, she’s receiving a national honour for her accomplishments in racing. Carter, who lives in Cassidy, was inducted into the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame Sept. 27 during a ceremony at the Glen Gould Studio in downtown Toronto. Carter became interested in racing in high school in Toronto. “When I met my first husband, I’d sort of been interested in racing because friends of mine where interested in it since high school,” she recalled. Carter met her first husband, Jerry Polivka, at a racetrack and through him, she began racing Volvos. “He was racing at the time,” she said. “Even-

tually, he thought I had some kind of potential. There was a race in Quebec, and he said he would lend me his car. It was just me and a bunch of guys, and I won the race. The guys were really ticked off. It was kind of the first time a woman had won a race in Canada. It was on CBC News that night; it was bizarre. I just got hooked.” Polivka was involved in publishing Canada Track & Traffic magazine, and he and his partner were in the process of building the Mosport track in Toronto. Carter was working at an ad agency at the time, and then she started working for her husband at the magazine, working as the office manager and writing columns. Along with racing, Carter started competing in 4,000-mile rallies across Canada. She won the women’s division of the Shell 4000 Coupe des Dames three times in a row in 1963, 1964 and 1965. “It was all back roads and tests in between,” she said. “It was just the best way to see Canada on roads people don’t usually travel. We had sections, like a closed army base, that we could go as fast as we wanted to.”

Diana Carter of Cassidy was inducted into the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame in September. At left, she’s pictured in her racing days in Ontario, while at right, she holds up her Hall of Fame plaque. LEFT PHOTO COURTESY OF DIANA CARTER In 1966, Carter was invited to Nassau Speedway. “It was always a big deal for a lot of drivers who were doing well at the time to go to Nassau,” she said. Carter beat two wellknown American drivers, Janet Guthrie and Denise McCluggage, in the women’s race. “That was a huge accomplishment for me,” she said. In 1968, Carter and Polivka went their separate ways, and Carter was offered a position in Michigan as the public relations director for the new Michigan International Speedway that was be-

A recent luncheon at the Ladysmith Resources Centre Association was all about celebrating seniors, but also about educating and supporting them. The Ladysmith Resources Centre Association (LRCA) hosted a luncheon Oct. 1 to celebrate National Seniors Day and offer information, including a presentation by the Alzheimer Society of B.C. “On behalf of the greater community, I wanted to express our gratitude to you for your dedication, individually and collectively, to our community,” Mayor Rob Hutchins told the group. “I see so many active volunteers here.” Several years ago, the LRCA put on a National Seniors Day event, and it was such a success that they committed to doing this every year to recognize seniors in our community, explained LRCA executive director Dennis Lait. “Every time the com-

It’s the seniors,” he said. “Without your help and the hours you put in, most of the things that happen in Ladysmith wouldn’t happen. Thank you.” Jane Hope of the Alzheimer Society of B.C. gave a presentation about Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. She told the group there are 70,000 people in B.C. living with de-

mentia or Alzheimer’s, and 10,000 of those are younger than 65. The Alzheimer Society is working to create dementia-friendly communities, which involves ensuring there is awareness, understanding, support and inclusion, explained Hope. “It’s important that we understand what’s going on with people with dementia because you can’t see it,” she said.

Hope says the most common question she gets asked is probably “what is dementia?” “Dementia is a word for the symptoms we see,” she said. “It’s caused by brain damage, and the brain damage is actually caused by the disease, and Alzheimer’s is probably the most common disease.” For more information about Alzheimer’s and dementia, visit www.alzheimerbc.org.

Thanksgiving Day can happen every day Thanksgiving is not just a day, but a lifestyle! Do you believe that? Many, it would seem, do not. This may be news to you, but thanksgiving need not be circumstantial. Whether one possesses plenty or scarcity, or whether one experiences triumph or tragedy, thanksgiving most certainly belongs within our hearts and upon our lips. History tells us the practice of celebrating Thanksgiving officially began in times of trouble, not in times of tranquility. When the early Pilgrims first celebrated Thanksgiving in the 1620s, they did so in the death-grip of drought and famine. Then, in 1863, right in the middle of the American Civil War (1861-1865), American President Abraham Lincoln issued the Thanksgiving Proclamation, which called his nation to annually give thanks. For what did you give thanks this Thanksgiving? History’s examples teach us that even in troubled times like these, with a renewed faith in God and an optimistic outlook on life, we still have plenty to be thankful for. While unjustly incarcerated, the Apostle Paul proclaimed from a jail cell his own Thanksgiving Proclamation: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Phil 4:6-7). I don’t know about you, but Thanksgiving or not, I plan on giving over all of life’s burdens to God, all the while giving thanks for all of life’s blessings. Won’t you join me in making every day, not just Thanksgiving Day, a day of thanksgiving?

Op-Ed

‘It feels good to have the opportunity to act’ Editor: I had to work hard for my “big experience” of the People’s Climate March in New York: four days train ride (lounge chair) from Vancouver to Toronto; two overnight bus trips to New York and back; and, one night sleeping on a concrete church floor in Brooklyn. But what the heck, if my trip was a tad high in discomfort, it was low in carbon emissions. Once started, the cheerful mass of humanity unfolded like a giant accordion anaconda — constantly gulping in supporters from sidewalks and side streets: old ladies blowing bubbles; bugles trumpeting; stern socialists handing out pamphlets; and, ever hopeful environmentalists performing skits showing beautiful butterflies fluttering over a massive oil spill. So did this carbon-busting snake of a parade squeeze delusions out of global-warming deniers; digest fossil fuel lobbyists; and transform slithery politicians to become leaders on climate change? I don’t know. But the news after the march that the incredibly wealthy Rockefellers are selling their oil stocks to fight climate change was a hopeful sign. Personally, I drive an electric scooter to fight climate change. In some strange cosmic manner, even knowing that many lives are been destroyed by this historic crises, it feels good to have the opportunity to act. Peter Nix Maple Bay Cowichan Carbon Buster

Time for truth in B.C. treaty talks BC Views

by Tom Fletcher

hree years ago, long-time chief and band administrator Sophie Pierre sought an extension of her term leading the B.C. Treaty Commission and gave a warning. The federal and provincial government should start taking this long and costly effort seriously or “shut ’er down.” Last week, Pierre wound up her sixth and final year as chief commissioner on a slightly more hopeful note. This year, the Tla’amin Nation in the Powell River area and the Yale First Nation in the Fraser Canyon had their treaties proclaimed by Ottawa. They join the Maa-nulth First Nations on Vancouver Island and the Tsawwassen First Nation in leaving behind the Indian Act and the courts to get on with self-government. Tsawwassen in particular has moved ahead aggressively. Its shopping centre development near the ferry terminal is one of the largest commercial projects in the province right now.

All of these treaties were negotiated despite multiple overlapping territorial claims around them, and similar progress has been made with the Tsimshian First Nations on the North Coast and elsewhere. The need for aboriginal people to work out their overlapping claim issues between themselves was the focus of the commission’s 22nd annual report. In it, former chief commissioners Miles Richardson of the Haida Nation and Steven Point of the Sto:lo Nation added their influential voices, urging aboriginal communities to consider them shared territories, rather than clinging to ancient tribal rivalries. Another hopeful sign is that after seven years of commissions and studies, the federal government has finally given its negotiators a mandate to negotiate fisheries. This is the main reason why the Tla’amin waited five long years for Ottawa’s blessing after their treaty had been hammered out. This year’s landmark decision of the Supreme Court of Canada, recogniz-

gotiations. Most of that is in the form of loans, which are to be repaid out of the cash settlements that Ottawa contributes to settle modern treaties. Pierre acknowledges that some communities are close to completing treaties, but their debt has climbed to near what Ottawa is offering. This would leave them free but broke. Others are just “spinning their wheels” with no real hope of achieving a treaty, Pierre said. The commission is calling for an “exit strategy” for these communities, starting with loan forgiveness that would allow them to pursue economic activity. There are First Nations, Westbank and Osoyoos prominent among them, which are thriving without treaties. Haida and Klahoose have developed successful forest products businesses as they move toward self-government. Federal and provincial governments must recognize the successes, and the failures. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press.

ing Tsilhqot’in Nation title in the remote Nemiah Valley, has also got the attention of Victoria and Ottawa. Pierre noted the “flurry of activity” by Premier Christy Clark in seeking reconciliation, which will culminate this month with a formal apology for the hanging of Tsilhqot’in chiefs 150 years ago. Pierre said this court ruling “should destroy any lingering thoughts that this issue is not of the utmost importance, and provide the necessary investment, both financial and time commitment, to reach satisfactory conclusions.” That’s the good news for B.C.’s thorniest historical problem, the lack of treaties across most of the province. It’s also becoming clearer that the Tsilhqot’in ruling is unique. It’s unlikely to be repeated by most other First Nations, even if they are willing and able to spend the years and millions to enrich lawyers in pursuit of it. Here’s the bad news. As of this year, the B.C. Treaty Commission has paid out $627 million to First Nations to support treaty ne-

And while polio has now been eradicated throughout North America, the Rotary Club won’t be satisfied until the whole world is free from the affliction once known as infantile paralysis. The Rotary Club of Ladysmith is doing its part in the fight with a fundraiser Oct. 29 at the Cottonwood Golf and Country Club. “We’re calling it Putting a Face on Polio. It’s to raise awareness of the issues of polio still in the world,” Gerry Beltgens, incoming president of the Ladysmith Rotary, as well as local foundation chair. Since 1985, Rotary has made eradicating polio its top priority with over 34,000 clubs in more than 200 countries. Rotary has committed $1.2 billion to the effort over the years, and while the number of polio cases has declined from 350,000 in 1988 to just 223 today, the work is not yet complete. “It’s a pretty big attempt at wiping the whole thing out,” said Beltgens. “I think the thing that people don’t realize is that SHOP LOCALLY GOLD ISLAND

Sound effects and music are crucial to theatre, establishing mood and helping to tell the story. Here’s your chance to find out how. Ladysmith Little Theatre (LLT) is offering a training program for volunteers to learn everything necessary to design sound for community theatre. Trainees will put knowledge into action as apprentice sound designers in an upcoming show. The first step is to attend an introductory workshop Saturday, Oct. 18 from 10 a.m. to noon at the theatre at 4985 Christie Rd. After the workshop, participants begin a personalized sound design course by taking online lessons to

be completed at home on their own schedule. Sound operation training and hands-on work are also included. No experience is needed. The lessons and training program were developed by Gale Lawrence, a former lawyer whose long-time interest in radio production

eventually led to a volunteer position at LLT in 2009. Her work has twice been awarded Best Sound Design in Theatre BC’s South Island Zone Festival. There is no charge, but pre-registration is required by contacting info@ladysmiththeatre. com or 250-924-0658.

Ladysmith fourth at senior girls’ volleyball tournament

The Ladysmith Secondary School 49ers recently finished fourth at the 2014 Camosun Chargers Sr Girls’ Volleyball Tournament. The Timberline Wolves from Campbell River won the Oct. 3-4 tournament after defeating South Delta in the final 2-1 (20-25, 25-21, 15-10). Riverside from Coquitlam defeated Ladysmith 2-0 (25-20, 27-25) to finish third. In the pool play on Oct. 3, Ladysmith lost 2-1 to Riverside (2520, 16-25, 15-9) and also beat Lambrick Park 2-1 (19-25, 25-13, 16-14). In the playoffs on Oct. 4, Ladysmith defeated Duncan Christian School 2-0 (25-12, 25-13) to earn a trip to the quarterfinals. In the quarter-finals, Ladysmith beat Ballenas 2-1 (22-25, 25-18, 15-10). This brought Ladysmith to the semi-finals, where the 49ers lost to South Delta 2-0 (25-18, 26-24). Kelsey Hutt from Ladysmith was chosen as an All-Star during the tournament. This follows a fifth-place finish by the 49ers at the annual Asics Spank It Invitational Tournament at the end of September at Vancouver Island University in Nanaimo. Ladysmith was the top team from the Nanaimo-Ladysmith School District at the tournament, which featured 26 teams and was won by the Timberline Wolves.

More than 300 athletes took part in the meet, and the St. Joseph’s students had 13 top eight finishes. “The kids demonstrated great effort and sportsmanship,” reports teacher John Battie. “It is an eye opener for many athletes when they are suddenly competing against five other schools’ best athletes.” In Grade 3 boys, Tighe Macdonald finished eighth.

In Loving Memory

Jack Hogg

Dec.26, 1925 - Oct.14, 2007 His memory is as dear today, as in the hour he passed away.

August 2, 1920 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; October 4, 2014

Always in our hearts, Joyce & Family

One of Ladysmithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest native daughters, Lillian Frances Carey, passed away on October 4, 2014, at Nanaimo Seniors Village, at the age of 94.

COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS

Lillian Frances Carey (nĂŠe Teusz) was an â&#x20AC;&#x153;after the warâ&#x20AC;? baby, born at home on Buller Street, between 4th and 5th Avenues in Ladysmith, August 2, 1920 to John Teusz and Katarina Hirkala, the first couple to be married in Ladysmithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic Church. She was the youngest of seven children â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jack, Stanley, Katherine, Mary Rose (Maime), Anna and Peter. If there was an organization, association or election in Ladysmith, Fran was a part of it as member, director or executive - the Ladysmith Hospital Auxiliary, the Royal Canadian Legion Auxiliary, Ladysmith Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choir, and Catholic Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s League. Fran held every position within the Native Daughters of British Columbia including President. She was a director of the Mid-Island Ten-Pin Association, Ladysmith Bowling Association, Ladysmith Junior Bowlers, and secretary of the Little League Association. Fran served on the Air Cadet Liaison Committee, Ladysmith School of Dance (co-founder), St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Parish Council (co-founder), and St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School Auxiliary (founder). She was Brown Owl and Tawny Owl for the Brownies. Fran was a Life Member of the Ladysmith Old Age Pensioners after serving for years as Director, Secretary and President. For decades Fran was secretary or coordinator of the Christmas Cheer Fund and from 1966 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 1972 a part of the Ladysmith Celebrations Committee. It was no surprise to her family that in August of 2004, Fran was recognized as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Citizen of the Yearâ&#x20AC;?. She could not have been more proud and we will never forget seeing her lead the Ladysmith Days parade. On her retirement Fran said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The town seems part of me and I seem part of it. When you watch a town grow, it becomes part of your life.â&#x20AC;? Both husband, Allan, and son, Glenn, served as town Aldermen for years and daughter Kathryn was Miss Ladysmith in 1967. Another of Franâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest honours was when Transfer Beach Park was dedicated in 1971. Special guests were Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth, and Prince Philip. At the dedication Queen Elizabeth stopped in front of Fran, asked if she was on the Committee in Charge, shook her hand and asked Fran to convey her congratulations to all of the committee for the manner in which everything was handled. That was indeed a special day. We learned from Fran to be involved, to participate, and to give. Fran couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been more proud of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She is survived by son, Glenn, and daughter Kathryn (Larry Brown) in Nanaimo and daughter Maureen (David Nelson) in Vancouver. Grandchildren Stefan Johnson (Genevieve) of Nanaimo, Darrin Carey, Selena Hebig (Greg) in Victoria, Kari Reston (Brent) in Wellesley, Massachusetts. Great-grandchildren Sofina and Owen Johnson, Kyle and Madelyn Hebig and Elin Reston. Also missing Fran will be nephew Dennis Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Day (Gigi) in Colorado and niece Eileen Buchanan (Tim) in Alaska. Fran was predeceased by husband, Allan (1988), granddaughter, Leanne Johnson (1990) and by her six brothers and sisters - John (Jack), Stanley, Katherine, Marie Rose (Maime), Anna and Peter. We give sincere thanks to the caring staff at Nanaimo Seniors Village and to Yvonne Leduc for her care, attention and friendship. There will be a Catholic Mass at 1:30 PM on Saturday, October 11, 2014 at St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church in Ladysmith with reception following. Telfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Funeral Services in charge of arrangements.

PLUMBING

With grace and dignity, at home with her family, our dear Lesley passed from this world, leaving it a better place. Predeceased by her parents, M.G. and Charlotte Hill (Vidal), her ďŹ rst husband Malcolm Clark, second, Barney Durban and son Grant, she is survived by her sons Roy (Marilyn) and Graham (Jeanette) Clark, Michael (Judy), Pat (Dorothy) and Gary (Maureen) Durban, brothers David, Gerry (Kathy) and Richard (Sandi) Hill, grandchildren Courtney, Malcolm, Andrea, Jason, Chelsea, Forbes, Cameron, Jefferey, Mark and Erin, great-grandchildren Frankie, Luke, Eli, Zach and too many nieces, nephews, and great grand nieces and nephews to list. She was born in Vancouver and spent her life between Burnaby, Vancouver and the family business, Yellow Point Lodge, which she loved and worked at well into her eighties. She attended King George High School, served as a Wren in WWII and performed in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Theater Under the Starsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as well as many other productions. Lesley was a member of the Arbutus Spinnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Weavers Guild, the A.C.W. and the Trefoil Guild. Service to the Anglican Church was a very big part of her life, singing in the choir and helping the minister of the day. She also supported Operation Smile and Plan Canada. Her kind heart and energy could be appreciated when, while she was in her eighties, if someone asked where Lesley was that day, the answer would likely be â&#x20AC;&#x153;sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out buying groceries... for the old peopleâ&#x20AC;?. Her life was ďŹ lled with a love of nature, cooking, her Church, crafts and especially gardening. The love she gave and received through her family canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be expressed in words. Lesleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real strength and spirit truly shone through the last few months of her life. Despite a nasty fall and lengthy hospitalization, she kept her smile and could be counted on to share a laugh with, regardless. The family wishes to thank Dr. Kennedy, Dr. Hay, Health Care Services of Ladysmith Urgent Care, Nanaimo Regional and Cowichan District Hospitals, the B.C. Ambulance Service, St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Church, Ladysmith Pharmasave and Rexall, the Canadian Red Cross, Yellow Point Lodge and a very special thank you to Jessica Borromeo, home care aide.
