Women urged to learn the signs of Alzheimer’s disease Lindsay Chung

THE CHRONICLE

Muriel Copp has always been very independent. But she’s been losing things. She says she now knows she is living with dementia, and it can be really hard.

Copp, who is going to be 85 at the end of this month, was learning more about dementia and brain health earlier this month during an information session put on by the Ladysmith Seniors Office at the Ladysmith Eagles Hall.

January is Alzheimer Awareness Month, and Jane Hope, the Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s support and education co-ordinator for Ladysmith and the North and Central Island, gave the presentation, and Copp was happy to find out more.

“Eighty-four has been a bad year and getting worse,” said Copp. “Up to then, it’s been pretty good, but I’m definitely living with it now. It helps to know this kind of thing. I can image in the olden days when people couldn’t know — at least we know. I gave up my driver’s license because I was afraid I’d hit somebody. It’s kind of scary in one sense, but I’m not scared, I think.”

Women represent 72 per cent of Canadians living with Alzheimer’s disease, and 70 per cent of caregivers are women.

The Alzheimer Society’s annual Alzheimer Awareness Month campaign has adopted the theme “The 72%.” The campaign aims to inform women in their 40s and older about the warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, brain health and how the programs and services of the nonprofit Alzheimer Society of B.C. can help.

“The main reason that women are more impacted than men by Alzheimer’s is that women live

longer, and the biggest risk factor for dementia is age, so the older we get, the more at risk we are of developing some form of dementia,” said Hope. “What’s important for people to know, and especially women, is we’re trying to get the message out there that it’s important they are aware of what are the 10 warning signs, what are the things they need to look out for.

And then if you are suspicious, go in and try to get a diagnosis, because the earlier you get a diagnosis, the more you can plan.”

Hope says that in Canada, more than 700,000 people — and she has heard that it’s now 747,000 — have been diagnosed with some form of dementia or mild cognitive impairment.

“It’s 1.5 per cent of the population,” she said. “In Canada, somebody develops dementia every five minutes. They figure that by 2038, these numbers are going to double.”

Hope explained that “dementia” is really an umbrella term for a set of different diseases. “Technically, it’s the term that we use to describe the symptoms, so memory loss, confusion, lack of judgment, trouble with language,” she said.

“When we put all those symptoms together, we usually tend to call that dementia. These symptoms are caused by changes in the brain or brain damage.”

The most common of dementias is Alzheimer’s disease.

“It also seems to be the one that scares people the most, but it really is the most common dementia that occurs,” said Hope, noting that Alzheimer’s disease impacts memory, judgment and reasoning and causes a lot of mood changes.

“About 65 per cent of all dementias are caused by Alzheimer’s.”

Hope says that seven per cent of See 72% Page 3

Variances denied for Third Ave. property Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE

An accessory building that has been the subject of neighbourhood controversy and a B.C. Supreme Court ruling cannot be used as a coach house.

That’s because Ladysmith council voted unanimously against issuing a Development Variance Permit (DVP) to vary the siting and height of a coach house within an existing accessory building at 410 Third Ave. during the Jan. 19 council meeting, held at the Ladysmith Eagles Hall.

Now that the application has been denied, the accessory building can continue to be used as an accessory building, explained Felicity Adams, the Town’s director of development services. Because the DVP was denied by council, a development permit and building permit for a coach house dwelling could not be considered, she noted.

Currently, a single-unit dwelling and accessory building are located on the property. To permit a coach house in the second storey of the accessory building, applicant Charles Forrest was requesting a variance for the maximum height for a coach house building, and the required distance between the coach house and principal dwelling.

Forrest was given an opportunity to speak about his application during the council meeting, which was held at the Ladysmith Eagles Hall, but he did not.

Although the Eagles Hall was quite full, only four people spoke to the issue.

Aaron Lafontaine, who lives next door to the property, told council that he has lost about

$30,000 off his property values since the accessory building was built.

Russell Barling urged council to adhere to its bylaws.

“I would like to see bylaws adhered to in a way that reflects our community spirit that we’re all so proud of in this town, everyone taking care of others,” he said. “If you allow this, where do you stop?”

Former councillor Glenda Patterson said there has been “possibly a lack of communication” along the way.

“I think it has been bounced along for a long time,” she said. “Speaking on this, I would personally like to say it’s very unfortunate this gentleman has been through hell, not allowed to live in a residence he built … I’m asking for consideration that this follows through to help this gentleman.”

Bill Drsydale, who sat on the previous council, said he has read accusations about himself on the Internet, which question his credibility, and it bothers him that council’s integrity has been brought into question.

He asked council to remember the Town’s community visioning statement while making its decision and remember that 66 per cent of people were in favour of coach houses when surveyed.

“In what way is this different than legalizing inhouse suites, which the previous council did do?” he asked.

Coun. Rob Hutchins is the one who made the motion that council deny the DVP. “This is a human issue,” he said. “Individuals are impacted by our decision here tonight. However, we went through a very lengthy, comprehensive

72% of Canadians with Alzheimer’s are women From Page 1 all cases of Alzheimer’s disease are familial Alzheimer’s, which runs through families and usually starts early, usually in your 50s, but most Alzheimer’s is called sporadic Alzheimer’s — it just happens.

“So just because your parent had it does not mean that you’ll get it,” said Hope. “The other thing though is there is a slight genetic link in that if a parent had it, you are at a slightly increased risk of getting it; you’re not definitely going to get it, but there is a slightly increased risk.

I think that’s when it becomes really important to try to take really good care of yourself.”

Hope says that people can be “doing everything right” and living a very healthy lifestyle and still get Alzheimer’s disease. People can’t control aging or genetics, but there is a possibly that they can reduce the risk of getting Alzheimer’s disease or at least put it back five or 10 years.

She says it comes down to taking care of your mind, body and spirit.

“It’s important to remember that dementia is not a part of normal aging; it is something that may happen, but it doesn’t normally happen,” said Hope.

In terms of taking care of our mind, Hope says it’s important to build new connections in our brain. Good ways to do this include learning a new language, doing the crossword puzzle to learn new vocabulary, breaking your routine and taking part in cultural activities — which is also beneficial because you are likely being social as well.

“The more connections we have in our brain, the more we can afford to lose,” said Hope. “So, we want to build as many as we can, and in order to do that, we need variety.”

Hope says there is a direct link between Alzheimer’s disease and heart disease, stroke and diabetes, so if you have good cardiovascular health, your brain will remain healthier.

“What’s good for your heart is good for your brain,” she said.

Hope says it’s important to protect your brain and reduce the risks of suffering head trauma.

Getting plenty of sleep is also important, as is eating well, maintaining a healthy body weight and trying to limit stress.

Hope says that being socially active is also very important.

“They say for brain health, when we are socially connected, we are again reducing our risk of developing dementia,” she said. “People who are social usually have a better attitude, they’re often calmer, and it says here social people don’t sweat the small stuff, but we might be more likely to remember the small stuff.”

The Alzheimer Society of BC has a resource centre in Nanaimo, and Hope often does educational sessions in Ladysmith. The Alzheimer Society of BC offers tele-workshops, educational programs and support groups. There is a dementia helpline at 1-800-936-6033, although it is not a 24-hour line. More information and resources can also be found online at www.alzheimerbc.org.

public consultation process on establishing both secondary suites in our community, as well as coach houses.”

He said he didn’t believe that with the guidelines established around respecting the privacy and views of neighbouring properties and fitting in with the neighbourhood, this building would not be constructed as a coach house today.

Coun. Duck Paterson seconded the motion.

“This building is too big,” he said. “We have gone through a process to establish this type of living in our community, and to move immediately to such a big increase does not fit what our community and the previous council wants. This application does not fit the design of this community.”

Coun. Joe Friesenhan agreed with Hutchins and Paterson.

“My big concern is if we approve something like this at this stage, we will be hit by everybody who wants to build and ask forgiveness later,” he said.

Coun. Carol Henderson also spoke about denying the application.

“Although I think the coach house would look lovely somewhere else, I don’t think it looks good here,” she said. “Over-height is a big one.”

Mayor Aaron Stone felt that approving this DVP would be an “extreme example” of a variance.

“It seems in this case, we have a coach house dwelling that does not fit the spirit of bylaw, which so much work has been put into,” he said.

The current siting, size and height of the accessory building on Forrest’s property conformed to the zoning bylaw at the time it was built, according to Adams, but it does not conform to the See Building Page 7

10 Warning Signs of Alzheimer’s Disease Provided by the Alzheimer Society of BC 1. Memory loss that affects day-to-day abilities A person with Alzheimer’s may forget things more often or have difficulty recalling information that has recently been learned.

2. Difficulty performing familiar tasks A person with Alzheimer’s disease may have trouble completing tasks that have been familiar to them all their lives, like preparing a meal or playing a game.

3. Problems with language Everyone has trouble finding the right words sometimes, but a person with Alzheimer’s disease may forget simple words or substitute words, making sentences difficult to understand.

4. Disorientation in time and space It’s normal to forget the day of the week or your destination — for a moment. But people with Alzheimer’s disease can become lost on their own street, not knowing how they get there or how to get home.

5. Impaired judgment A person with Alzheimer’s disease may experience changes in judgment or decision-making, such as not recognizing a medical problem that needs attention, or wearing heavy clothing on a hot day.

6. Problems with abstract thinking From time to time, people may

have difficulty with tasks that require abstract thinking, such as balancing a chequebook.

Someone with Alzheimer’s disease may have significant difficulties with such tasks, for example, not understanding what numbers are and how they are used.

7. Misplacing things A person with Alzheimer’s disease may put things in inappropriate places — an iron in the freezer, or a wristwatch in the sugar bowl, for example.

8. Changes in mood or behaviour Everyone becomes sad or moody from time to time.

Someone with Alzheimer’s disease can exhibit varied mood swings — from calm to tears to anger — for no apparent reason.

9. Changes in personality People’s personalities can change in subtle ways over time. A person with Alzheimer’s disease may experience more striking personality changes and can become confused, suspicious or withdrawn. Changes may also include apathy, fearfulness or acting out of character.

10. Loss of initiative At times, it’s normal to tire of housework, business activities or social obligations, but most people regain their initiative.

A person with Alzheimer’s disease may become passive and apathetic and require cues and prompting to become involved.

Manly acclaimed as federal Green candidate Staff Writer the chronicle

In the newly-formed federal riding of Nanaimo-Ladysmith, the Green Party has found its official candidate in Paul Manly.

The filmmaker and social activist was voted in as the candidate at a packed meeting of more than 250 members and supporters Jan. 12 at Nanaimo’s Beban Park Social Centre, according to a press release.

In his acceptance speech, Manly said that as the MP for the riding, he would be accountable to his constituents, not corporations, political insiders or party bureaucrats.

“Nanaimo-Ladysmith needs an MP who not only understands the complexity of the issues but is free to speak their mind, vote their conscience, and represent their constituents without fear of sanction,” he said.

Federal Green Party Leader Elizabeth May told the overflow crowd that her

pledge to Manly was that he would be expected to answer to his constituents first, not to her as leader.

May predicted that Greens could hold the balance of power in a minority government, with the Green Party making major breakthroughs in B.C. “There’s going to be a green tidal wave coming from Vancouver Island in 2015,” she said. “In 2011, we made history by electing the first Green MP with the highest voter turnout in Canada. In 2015, we’re going to save Canada by electing more Green MPs.” Manly, 50, came to the Green Party after the federal NDP executive prevented him and 23 other potential candidates from running in the 2015 federal election.

“I met Green representatives from across the country, I read Vision Green and I was amazed at the depth of the policy that the Green Party has and the vision for the future, so I think the NDP did

Opinion

Please consider a Senate seat for Vancouver Island

Editor’s Note: This is a copy of an open letter sent to Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

Re: A Senate seat to represent Vancouver Island Dear Prime Minister Harper, This open letter is a response to your December remark, that you’re not “getting a lot of calls from Canadians to name more Senators.”

If you decide to appoint just one Senator this year, out of 13 vacancies, please consider the special place that Vancouver Island played in Confederation. Vancouver Island has 780,000 residents and no representation in the Senate. One of six seats apportioned to B.C. is vacant and could redress this imbalance.

Vancouver Island’s history is rich, having an upper chamber while still a colony and being the first elected Parliamentary democracy in the west prior to Confederation. So too our size, Island culture and unique coastal attributes warrant a voice in our governance. If the Senate is to balance regional representation in our country, then it is only fair and reasonable that at least one Senator reside here and represent the interests and perspective of Vancouver Islanders.

We know the Constitution presently ties your hands in terms of what Senate seats are allocated to each region and that your efforts for Senate reform were rejected by the Supreme Court last March. Our suggestion does not argue for or against a Senate, but does invite incremental legislative change that will not contravene Supreme Court opinions or the Constitution. In the interest of good governance, we would applaud any initiative to identify Vancouver Island candidates for the Senate, including a referendum in the upcoming federal election.

Mr. Prime Minister, as your plans address the Senate, please consider Vancouver Island’s long and proud contribution to Confederation and act to strengthen our partnership in this fair country.

Respectfully, Laurie Gourlay & Scott Aikenhead President and Director Vancouver Island and Coast Conservation Society Cedar

Wolf kill is the last hope for caribou BC Views

by Tom Fletcher

W

hen the B.C. government last resorted to shooting wolves from helicopters in the 1980s, an emotional public outcry forced a retreat.

In the B.C. tradition, sensation-seeking urban media and protesters led the way. An outraged reporter named Pamela Martin marched a BCTV crew off the road near Fort St. John to expose this presumed crime against nature. With a metre of snow and temperatures dipping to -40, they didn’t get far, but public sentiment was aroused enough for politicians to overrule wildlife biologists.

This winter, while snow reveals the wolves’ location from the air, the choppers and rifles are out again. And my heart goes out to the biologists and First Nations hunters who face this grim task.

The South Selkirk mountain caribou herd, which ranges between B.C., Idaho and Washington, has been the target of intensive conservation ef-

forts by governments on both sides of the border.

Six of the remaining 18 animals now wear radio collars. There were 46 in 2009, only 27 by 2012, and wolves have killed two more since last spring.

Targeted hunting and trapping haven’t been sufficient, so up to 24 grey wolves are to be shot from the air before the snow melts.

There are seven caribou herds in the South Peace, with the Graham herd the largest at about 700. It’s the control group, left to fend for itself as a measure of wolf removal for the rest. The Burnt Pine herd is down to one bull, effectively extinct. The province and Treaty 8 First Nations are working on a plan to kill 120-160 wolves in that region.

It’s long been accepted that resource roads, logging and recreational trail use have increased herd disruption and predator access through what would otherwise be seamless bush and deep snow.

Snowmobiles and even back-country skiers can shift the balance. Smithers-area outdoor enthu-

This context is seldom reported by Vancouver media, which mostly sees its role not as explaining issues but rather embarrassing whatever political party is in power, and providing an uncritical platform for the stop-loggingmining-energy crowd, which is seen as popular with urban viewers.

Remember the spotted owl, with the fringe of its range extending into southern B.C.? Our branch-plant enviros marketed that one for years.

Its core habitat is Washington and Oregon, where many sawmills were shuttered to “save” them.

Now they’re shooting invasive barred owls, which have emerged as a greater threat to spotted owls than logging. Context is important.

I suppose we’ll never know what difference the 1980s wolf kill would have made if it hadn’t been shouted down for TV ratings and urban enviro-donations.

siasts are currently being urged to stay away from the Telkwa Mountains, where the caribou herd is down to fewer than 20 animals. Local hunting and snowmobile clubs have observed a ban on motorized travel since 2003, but of course there will always be yahoos who chase animals for fun.

A mountain caribou recovery plan was implemented in 2007, protecting 2.2 million hectares from logging and roadbuilding, including most of the core habitat of the South Selkirk herd. The Nature Conservancy of Canada bought 550 square kilometres in that region to protect habitat.

Strategies include transplanting animals from healthier to weaker herds to increase genetic diversity, and capturing and penning females with young calves to keep them from being picked off by wolves.

The B.C. grey wolf population averages around 8,500, with managed hunting and trapping to protect livestock while preserving the wolf as apex predator in most of its wide range.

Building cannot be used as coach house Variances from Page 3 Town’s updated zoning bylaw, which was adopted in August. The finished floor area of the accessory building is 84 square metres, and the applicant has proposed to remodel the second storey so the coach house dwelling would be 60 square metres to comply with the zoning bylaw. A building permit would be required for the renovation, and the remaining 24 square metres would form part of the accessory building.

The proposed coach house would meet the requirements of the zoning bylaw, except for two variance requests — it is four metres from the principal dwelling, and six metres is required, so a variance of two metres was requested.

As well, the building is 7.43 metres in height, and the maximum permitted height for coach house buildings is 6.6 metres, so a variance of 0.83 metres was requested.

When she wrote her

report to council, Adams explained that the Town had received 24 written submissions regarding the proposed variance. Six letters were from residents within the 60-metre circulation area for statutory notice, and four of those expressed opposition to the proposed variances, while two expressed support.

Submissions from outside the circulation area expressed opposition to the variances.

In October 2012, the Supreme Court of B.C. declared that Forrest had, through his use and occupancy of the land, contravened the Urban Residential Zone provisions of the Town’s zoning bylaw by using and permitting the use of the occupancy of the suite above the garage for living accommodation.

The Supreme Court of B.C. stated that Forrest had contravened the Town’s building and plumbing bylaw by permitting or causing the installation of a kitchen and cooking

facilities in the garage without first obtaining a permit, and by occupying or permitting the use and occupancy of the garage without obtaining an occupancy permit.

The court ordered that Forrest must cease occupying or permitting the use and occupancy of the garage for living accommodation or as a

dwelling unit and that Forrest shall not occupy the garage or permit the use and occupancy of the garage for living accommodation or as a dwelling unit until he had obtained all necessary building permits, brought the garage into compliance with the building bylaw and restored the garage to its lawful use under the zoning bylaw.

This weekend, youth who are interested in making music can get a crash course in computer recording.

“Let’s Record Music” is a new program that will be held at recreation centers across Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands, including the Frank Jameson Community Centre in Ladysmith.

The program is the brainchild of Eli Hason, a sound designer/DJ/recording engineer who relocated to Denman Island after years of working in Montreal and Los Angeles in the video game

and entertainment industry.

Ladysmith trail details now in Google Maps

Lindsay Chung the chronicle

If you’ve looked up Ladysmith’s trails on Google Maps lately, you’ll find updated, accurate information courtesy of Ladysmith resident Brian Thom.

Thom, an assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Victoria (UVic) who established the university’s Ethnographic Mapping Lab, has added information about trails in Ladysmith and Saltair to Google Maps.

In 2012, Thom approached Ladysmith council to explain that the Town of Ladysmith’s maps of the local trails were inaccurate and distorted, particularly on the south end. The Town responded by putting stickers on every map that say “map not to scale.”

“The main thing was when I was out with my family walking the Stocking Lake Trail, we thought from the maps that we were going to have a similar hike to the Holland Creek Trail,” said Thom. “Well, when we got out there, we realized that this was taking a lot longer, dramatically longer, and so the maps weren’t to scale. The south end of the Town of Ladysmith maps are all compressed, so the actual distances aren’t what you see on the map in relation to the ground at the south end, although they are to scale on the north end of the map.

Map Maker could read. He then added the file that he had saved from his GPS as an overlay and traced that in Map Maker.

Any changes made to the basemap go to Google to get reviewed. People like Thom who submit changes to the Google basemap can also become reviewers, and Thom is one of Google’s reviewers for the Ladysmith area and can approve edits made by other people for this area.

“All the things you see when you use Google Maps like phone numbers of businesses or hours of operation and all that, that’s added through this system,” he explained. “Anybody can do this.”

Thom’s work is a result of a presentation he made to council

in 2012, when he explained that the Town needed new maps.

He recalls that back then, he had talked to a number of other families, and he was surprised to find he wasn’t the only one who had been fooled by the map.

The maps didn’t change, although the Town put stickers that indicate the maps are not to scale. So Thom decided to do something about it himself.

“I think in the 21st century, more people are probably relying on the phone in their pocket anyway, so this probably makes more of a difference,” he said. “I think it’s great Google gives local people the power to edit their basemap and disseminate accurate, useful information to the community.”

Veterans MC donates funds to community Lindsay Chung

the chronicle

Late last year, the Ladysmith chapter of the Veterans Motorcycle Club (MC) spent two nights delivering donations to local volunteers.

Each year, the Veterans MC raises money for the community through the Corporal Mike Starker Memorial Poker Run. Starker was a paramedic with the City of Calgary and was killed May 6, 2008, while serving in Afghanistan.

This year, the Ladysmith chapter of the Veterans MC held its sixth poker run in Ladysmith and donated $800 to the Ladysmith and District Marine Rescue Society and $700 to the Royal Canadian Legion Poppy Fund.

“Basically, it’s almost like a support club in a way,” explained McCasky. “We help each other through things, and it’s comradeship. It’s something we’ve been looking for since we were in the Armed Forces.

Employees at the Crofton mill have exceeded their fundraising goal for the United Way in the past year.

Management and staff at Catalyst Crofton Division, along with employees from Pulp, Paper and Woodworkers of Canada (PPWC local 2) and Unifor 1132, formed a strong partnership this year, raising $31,000 for the community through their United Way campaign efforts, surpassing their goal of $25,000 by 24 per cent.

“We are very impressed with these results,” Heather Gardiner of United Way

president and general manager of Catalyst, Crofton Division, is very proud of his company and its employees.

“We believe in the effectiveness, efficiency and accountability of our local United Way, and I’m proud that we’ve played a role in helping to make this community a better place,” he said. “I want to extend a big thank you to everyone involved in making this year’s campaign a big success; Amanda Heather Gardiner from United Way Cowichan receives a cheque from Rob Be- Morton, our employee langer of Catalyst Paper, Fraser McQuarrie (Unifor 1132) and Gary Fiege (PPWC campaign coordinator, and Gary Fiege and Local 2).

Our hostess will bring gifts & greetings along with helpful community information.

Staff Writer The Cottonwood Ladies Golf Club recently delivered proceeds from its Field Day fundraiser to the Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation.

The sold-out event hosted 124 golfers to support health care through the hospital foundation. Registration fees, “Buy a Guy” to caddy, and year-round fundraising efforts allowed the club to donate $2,000 to aid the Palliative Care Unit at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital (NRGH).

Beyond Your Expectations

Organizers were overwhelmed with the “amazing support” of sponsors who provided prizes, services such as massages at tee boxes, and hole sponsorships, according to a press release.

Since 2005, the golfers have given almost $8,500 to the hospital foundation, and this was their largest gift to date. The next Field Day will occur in 2016.

Here, April Mathers (left), Lyndsay Hunley and Chris Frederickson of the Cottonwood Ladies Golf Club deliver a $2,000 donation to the Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation.
