Why is this ship still in our harbour?

In June, 2012, the Canadian Coast Guard commissioned a survey that concluded the Viki Lyne II, a 54 year-old derelict trawler, was in imminent danger of sinking and causing an environmental catastrophe in Ladysmith Harbour. Three years later, she’s still tied up, she’s still rusting, and she still has 13,000 litres of oil and solvents on board, enough to do irreparable damage to the region’s shellfish industry, tourism and lifestyle.

She’ll sink: it’s only a matter of time Craig Spence THE CHRONICLE

A slick discovered in Ladysmith Harbour Thursday turns out to have been caused by a sunken sailboat named the Lisa, which went down just south of the community marina, Ladysmith Maritime Society Executive Director Rod Smith confirmed on Monday. On Thursday, June 11, Smith told the Chronicle that “There was a report at three o’clock this morning of a sound of tearing wood.” That morning two propane bottles, children’s toys, and life jackets were found, floating in Ladysmith harbour – and the oily sheen, suspected to be diesel fuel, drifting toward the LMS docks. Bad as the sinking of the Lisa was, though, it’s not the whole story. Not by half. It’s just a reminder, really, of a full-blown catastrophe poised to make headlines if a known floating hazard in Ladysmith harbour, the Viki Lyne II, ever goes down – and the Coast Guard has been warned she will. Three years ago, in June, 2012, they commissioned a report by McAllister Marine Survey & Design on the Viki Lyne II. Built in 1961, she’s a 224 ton, 103 ft. long, rusting hulk tied up with a group of boats toward Slack Point. She has 13,000 litres of oil and solvents on board – what remains after 20,000 litres were pumped out of her by the Coast Guard last fall as a partial step to reduce the environmental risk of a potentially devastating spill. The McAllister report says the Viki Lyne II is in imminent danger of sinking because her hull is possibly rusted through. The marine survey could not determine the “lowest likely hull thickness,” but sufficient data was gathered to issue the following warning: “We can, however, assume that the hull is very close to being penetrated by corrosion. In fact, the hull may be penetrated below the waterline but covered with scale and marine growth which is preventing the inflooding of the hull.” Adds the report: “All readers of this document are cautioned that scraping of the external hull below the waterline may cause the vessel to flood.” It concludes: “Disassembly and scrapping of the vessel is the only certain way of removing her current threat to the environment.” And yet, no action has been taken to remove the vessel from Ladysmith Harbour in the three years since the McAllister survey was submitted, even though enough oil and solvents remain on board to devastate the harbour if she ever sinks. So concerned are local governments, they petitioned the federal Minister of Transport to do something about it. Ladysmith Mayor Aaron Stone and Stz’uminus Chief John Elliott both signed a letter to Lisa Raitt Feb. 15 expressing their ‘grave concern’ about the threat the ‘derelict vessel’ Viki Lyne II represents to Ladysmith Harbour. If the Viki Lyne II does go down, they said: “it will be an environmental disaster affecting the traditional waters of the Stz’uminus First Nation, a vibrant and established shellfish industry, a growing marine tourism industry, BC’s most successful Western Purple Martin recovery colony and the very lifestyle of a region known for its connection to the sea.”

Three years ago, in June 2012, a survey commissioned by the Canadian Coast Guard concluded that, due to rust, the hull of the Viki Lyne II “may be penetrated below the waterline.” It concluded that “Disassembly and scrapping of the vessel is the only certain way of removing her current threat to the environment.” PHOTOS PROVIDED The LMS also petitioned Raitt to do some- – in effect – robbed Peter to save Paul from a thing, but in a reply she said the Viki Lyne II pending environmental disaster.

Railway or trailway, should E&N switch tracks News that upgrades to idled line may cost more to make it safe for passenger service raising questions Craig Spence THE CHRONICLE

News that it could cost more than originally estimated to get passenger service running again on the E&N Railway has raised questions about the future use of the line. A Ministry of Transportation and BC Safety Authority commissioned report by RTC Rail Solutions says $15 million allocated for improvements along the 289 kilometre of track would be “pushing the limits of safety to the extreme.” Graham Bruce, CEO of the Island Corridor Foundation, which owns the E&N corridor, said the report is based on “wrong assumptions” about the speed of the trains that would be using the reactivated line. He also said “a tremendous amount of work and study” on the E&N line has been conducted since the RTC study findings were compiled.

YOUR WORDS

Coachhouse issue could prove costly

“If we lose the land that connects these communities, we’ll never get it back.” Mark Drysdale, Manager, Ladysmith Chamber of Commerce Page 5 / referring to the E&N Corridor

Editor: Council will have to be very careful saying ‘no’ to those seeking variances for existing coachhouses. Certainly there has to be debate on the merits of each variance request, but the first person or couple with pockets deep enough for a good lawyer could prevail in a claim against the town because of the way the secondary suites issue has been handled. It’s not that the owners followed the lead of the town in its visioning process and subsequent declaration of wanting to provide affordable housing. It’s not that people were proactive in building an opportunity for affordable housing and following the guidelines of other Vancouver Island communities while we made up our minds. The tactical error in the war on twostoried coach houses was granting immunity to all in-house suites, even going so far as waiving building permit fees for upgrades to their existing, and previously illegal suites, all the while charging those with coach houses, at minimum, a variance request fee of $750 for the privilege of being rejected. To treat two groups of citizens, albeit with different configurations of “illegal” suites, in a different manner, is fundamentally unfair. The folks with in-house suites should each have been required to submit variance requests too, or at minimum get a development permit. Our town is now divided because of this issue. Mistakes were made. As Councillors oft time will say, “difficult decisions” have to be made. Before the town is sued, and while the cost will only be thousands of dollars instead of hundreds of thousands, make the admittedly difficult decision and grant the same immunity to owners of pre-existing coach houses as to owners of in-house suites.

What adds up to dollars and sense for E&N Let’s convert E&N from rail to trail Editor: Here we go again with a publicly funded project about to take off amidst great uncertainty that it will come in anywhere near projected costs. When I see consultants expressing their view that the planned upgrading costs for the E&N rail bed will vastly exceed original estimates, it makes me cringe. And they are only talking about the rail bed, and only to get it to “pushing the limits of safety to the extreme”. We still have to deal with all the bridges and then there is the equipment yet to be procured, and then the enormous ongoing maintenance. The point is, all this expense is to be incurred to provide a service for a handful of tourists and another handful of commuters each

day, whose numbers will diminish dramatically after tourist season. Why don’t we instead take this opportunity to provide a facility for thousands of people who have already demonstrated that if you build it they will come? I’m talking about a beautiful trail corridor, which would link all communities from Victoria to Comox, and the cost would be a fraction both for construction and maintenance. All that would be required is to fill in between the existing rail with suitable gravel, put up a few signs, and watch the peddlers and pedestrians hit the trail in their hundreds every day! This is a golden opportunity to provide an inexpensive, environmentally friendly, healthy legacy for all to use, for generations to come. Lets not miss this one. Michael Smith, Ladysmith

Arm wrestler hoping to make Worlds Craig Spence THE CHRONICLE

Canadian medalist arm wrestler Chris Beauchemin approaches life the same way he does his sport – no matter what, you keep battling. At 43 he’s recovered from a severe head injury that left him unsteady on his feet and blind in one eye; and he’s rebounding from the sudden loss of his job; and from the equally sudden loss of the sponsorship he needs to get to the next level in his sport – the World Arm Wrestling Championships in Indonesia this September. Despite all that, he’s raring to go. Beauchemin squared off to win a men’s sil-

ver with his right arm, and a bronze with his left in the Open Class of the Canadian Arm Wrestling Championships in Vancouver over the Victoria Day long weekend. That was a major step in his journey. “They had all the best from across the country there,” he said. To compete Beauchemin first had to place at the provincials; now that he’s placed in the nationals, he’s set his sights even higher; “if you placed at the nationals you make it to the Worlds,” he said. Well, you qualify. Making it there is another matter. “If I can get sponsoring to pay for the trip and make it to Indonesia, I’m in. Both arms I get to compete; it’s getting there that’s tough.” To the uninitiated arm wrestling looks like a pretty straightforward event. Two guys, or gals, with arms as thick as Douglas firs, face off across a square table, brace their elbows against the chocks, then go at it like mighty hulks. Beauchemin will tell you it’s not quite as simple as it looks. After his days as a football player were ended by ‘smashed up’ knees, he was introduced to the sport by one of the pros,

Columbia to Indonesia is another matter, and Beauchemin isn’t sure he’s got the techniques down for that part of the game. But he’s working at it. If you want to take a crack at arm wrestling yourself, and grip hands with a champ, you can head on down to Transfer Beach park most Sundays and try your strength and skill. “I don’t’ charge them,” Beauchemin said of his weekend opponents. “I teach them about arm wrestling and let them have a go at me.” All he asks is that people bring nonperishable donations for the Ladysmith Food Bank or secondhand shoes for the Salvation Army. Beauchemin is hoping to get a club together in the Ladysmith area. As for the knocks he’s taken, especially losing his sponsorship for the Indonesia run, Beauchemin is philosophical. “I just got toprolled,” he said.

Derby Dames: Fast, Furious & Feminine Craig Spence the chronicle

It’s practice day at Fuller Lake Arena and members of the Brass Knuckles Derby Dames, including the guys, are showing up for a session of sprinting, jamming, dodging and blocking inside the 35 meter track, marked out with white lines on the concrete arena floor. From April, when the ice comes off at Fuller Lake, to the end of summer, when it goes back on, Chemainus is a practice and competition venue for the roller derby team. In Captain Bridgette Duckett’s mind it’s the birthplace of an Olympic sport. Shove over baseball and golf; out’ta my way karate and rugby, the Derby Dames are set to lap you. Actually ‘roller sports’ are on the radar of the International Olympic Committee, but Roller Derby is not mentioned in the mix. Roller Hockey was a demonstration sport in 1992; and inline racing has been angling for position, too. And skateboarding. But they’ve all got a long way to go. That doesn’t deter Head Coach Monica Arthurs or the team. Not much does. Whether you’re a jammer, or a blocker, or a pivot, you’ve got to be tough and determined to make it in roller derby – at least when your on the track in competition; off the oval, players will tell you there’s few sports Heavy traffic at Fuller Lake Arena, where the Brass Knuckle Derby Dames roller derby team practices twice a week.

Daykin - Stella, Mathilda January 5, 1920 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; June 7th, 2015 The family is very sorry to announce the passing of our mother, grandmother and great grandmother, Stella Daykin (nee Jahn). She was born on January 5, 1920 in Roche Percy, Saskatchewan, one of fourteen children on her familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm. Growing up she excelled in school, her ambition to be a teacher. Unfortunately, her family was unable to send her to teachers college as the Great Depression intervened. In her early adulthood she came to British Columbia, later she was joined there by three of her sisters. She worked for several years, and then trained to be a hair stylist, later having her own salon. Stella later met and married Cecil (Cec) Daykin who was very impressed with this young and truly beautiful woman. Despite having several serious health issues through the years, she outlived all her siblings and all their partners and for many years was the family matriarch. Pre-deceased by her much loved husband, she is survived and will be sadly missed by their ďŹ ve children, Gail Smith (Paul), Laurel Stuart (Alan), Greg Daykin (Carolyn), Coleen Mayea (Harold) and Shelley Mann (Don), her well loved ďŹ fteen grandchildren, Glen, Craig, Leigh, Neil, Grant, Alana, Sarah, Jason, Steven, Philip, Ariel, Brandon, Ashley, Brittany and Christy, and to date, eighteen great-grandchildren.
