We’ve got 10 issues to get to know these candidates Editor, the chronicle

When we vote Oct. 19 in Canada’s 42nd federal election, we are choosing a representative from the Nanaimo-Ladysmith riding to send to Ottawa. Although the representative we choose will belong to one of Canada’s four major political parties with candidates running here, we’re not voting just for parties – we’re voting for people and ideas. It’s important to remember that, and as a community newspaper, the Ladysmith-Chemainus Chronicle will be covering this election from that angle. We have become so accustomed to re-

calls for real leadership. We want representatives who will fight tooth and nail in the House of Commons and within their own caucuses for a serious reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in Canada. We are a nation that should be showing leadership when it comes to climate change. We want to hear your candidates’ views on global warming, and believe a majority of voters in Nanaimo-Ladysmith want to hear those views, too. We’ve selected 10 issues we want to see your candidates address between now and Oct. 13 – our last edition before the Oct. 19 election: climate change; electoral and parliamentary reform; the economy; health care; poverty & homelessness; See Federal Election, Page 10

‘Inventor’ sets up aboard Viki Lyne II Concerns raised that he’s putting himself, others and harbour at risk Craig Spence the chronicle

Victor Voigt, an ‘inventor’, who claims to be able to heal cancer ‘within 10 days’ is setting up on the Viki Lyne II and inviting clients to come aboard for treatments. Voigt, who offers free treatments to people with an instrument he has invented called the Magic Magee Healing Tool, told the Chronicle on Thursday that he has cleaned out one bathroom aboard the Viki Lyne II and intends to make more improvements. He said the ‘manager’ of the area known as Dogpatch, adjacent to the Ladysmith Community Marina, moved his tug boat next to the Viki Lyne into a spot that was occupied by a vessel that burned and sank in Protestors converged in a ‘flotilla’ at the Viki Lyne II July 19 demanding she be removed from Ladysmith Harbour. the early morning hours of July 18, just a day before a protest against But McAllistar Marine & Design rector of the Ladysmith Maritime Voigt isn’t waiting for anyone the mooring of the Viki Lyne II in was so concerned, they issued the Society, which runs the Ladysmith to give him the go ahead. “I’m alLadysmith Harbour. following warning: “All readers of Community Marina, adjacent to ready set up.

A perfect game for Mason Lonsberry lead the way to a golden finish for the Ladysmith 49ers at the Peewee U13A B.C. Baseball Provincials in Surrey July 30-Aug 3.

kidZArtBeat: an art festival for children

Children draw. They always have, whether it is with sticks in the mud, charcoal lumps on a rock or smelly markers on computer paper. Even the dad who grumbles “I can’t even do stick figures” was once a child who explored with crayons… at least a little bit. Scribbles are a child’s first form of the written word – ask a preschooler to tell you about their drawing and you might hear a complex story involving bears, the wind, a house – something imaginative. KidZArtBeat, a children’s festival of the arts, is here to bring out that creative attitude in every child. The Chemainus Crofton Community Schools Association has long had a focus on the fine arts as one of its programs, and this summer it teamed up with the Chemainus Valley Society for Cultural Arts, and with the Polka Dot Trail Artists, to morph the previous Art Beat into something new, colourful, and creative for kids. Over twenty-five artists, teachers, volunteers, and creative people will gather

from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 15, for the artsiest children’s festival imaginable. Multiple interactive art stations will be available in and around Water Wheel Park in Chemainus. There is something for everyone from toddlers to teens – even a very beginning Colourful Crawlers section for babies. Chemainus Theatre Festival is running an hour long workshop for children aged 8-11 years. The first five participants to register will receive free tickets for James and the Giant Peach, showing at the Chemainus Theatre.

Natural gas rates: you have a choice Starting November 1, 2015, you’ll have a choice when it comes to buying natural gas. A program called Customer Choice lets you buy gas from an independent gas marketer at fixed rates and terms, or from FortisBC at a variable rate. Independent gas marketers may knock on your door to discuss these options. Either way, FortisBC would still deliver your gas. To learn more about your options, visit fortisbc.com/yourchoice.

Opinion

Your Words

Our election coverage rules of order The Ladysmith-Chemainus Chronicle has invited candidates from the four main parties running in the Nanaimo-Ladysmith riding in the Oct. 19 Federal Election – Conservative, Green, Liberal, and NDP – to participate in weekly coverage giving them an opportunity to: • Respond to issues of interest to readers and voters. • Submit two ‘columns’ of up to 500 words presenting their main issues. Issues the Chronicle has or will be asking the candidates to respond to are: Climate change • The economy • Electoral and parliamentary reform • Health care • Poverty & homelessness • International aid • Protection of our coasts • A fair tax share for municipal and regional governments • Legalization of marijuana • Quality of life for Canada’s aging population. Candidates will be provided a summary of each issue at least 10 days prior to their responses appearing in the newspaper. The issue summary will also be posted to Ladysmith/ Chemainus Chronicle on Facebook. com and visitors to the site will be invited to comment. If a candidate or candidates do not respond to an issue, and space remains on an election page, the Chronicle may print comments that have appeared on its Facebook page or been sent directly to editor@ladysmithchronicle.com, or may further elaborate on the issue from other sources in an article. Candidates’ two election columns must be submitted to the Chronicle by Aug. 16 (they were notified of this timeline on Aug. 5). Our purpose is to engage the candidates in discussions centered around issues that matter to you, while allowing them opportunities to focus the conversation on their own platform issues. We’re hoping for a presentation of ideas, not reactive commentary. The columns will appear in the chronicle starting Aug. 18, and will run sequentially based on the date of submission (i.e. the first candidate to submit will be given spots 1 & 5; second submitter 2 & 6... and so on). The Ladysmith-Chemainus Chronicle is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry. The council considers complaints from the public about the conduct of member newspapers. Directors oversee the mediation of complaints, with input from both the newspaper and the complaint holder. If talking with the editor or publisher does not resolve your complaint about coverage or story treatment, you may contact the B.C. Press Council. Your written concern, with documentation, should be sent to B.C. Press Council, PO Box 1356, Ladysmith, B.C. V9G 1A9. For information phone 1-888-6872213 or go to www.bcpresscouncil.org.

“No-one should be on that vessel. Any kind of activity on that boat increases the likelihood that it will sink.” Rod Smith, managing director, Ladysmith Maritime Society about the Viki Lyne II, Page 3

letters Viki Lyne II ‘floats high in the water’ Editor: RE: Protestors call for removal of Viki Lyne II, and Boat burns to the waterline, Ladysmith-Chemainus Chronicle, July 21, Pages 1 and 3. Regarding the Viki Lyne II and the adjacent forty foot boat that ‘burned to the waterline’ 36 hours before a well advertised public protest, speculation presented as fact can by itself be threatening and in this situation may have incited arson. What might be an environmental threat speaks more to emotionalism than to rationality and ignites vigilantism? Those suggesting governments arbitrarily seize property, without due process, would do well to explore world history: totalitarianism. My understanding is that the marine survey indicating Viki Lyne II as an ‘imminent’ risk to sink is three years old. Aware of this vessel since 1996, I can verify, as does the vessel’s waterline, that it floats higher in the water than ever. There are greater environmental threats. A study conducted in the 1980s determined that North America, with 10 per cent of the

world’s population, was consuming 80 per cent of the earth’s resources. It might better serve the world to address our society’s over-consumption and leave the matter of derelict vessels to the experts? Transport Canada and the Coast Guard placed the Viki Lyne II in Ladysmith to mitigate its threat and they regularly monitor the vessel. Bryan Livingstone Ladysmith

Wrong Greasy Pole lesson learned Editor: I hope (Ladysmith Celebration Committee President) Berry Frech and (Ladysmith Councillor) Steve Arnett are proud of the way they ended the Ladysmith Days ‘Greasy Pole’ contest at Transfer Beach on Saturday, Aug. 1. The prizes in the event were a single $100 bill and several $50 bills, which were attached to the pole – the hundred at the very top, the 50s midway. When all the 50s were gone and just the hundred remained, Coun. Arnett said the prize should be moved down the pole, because all the remaining entrants were 12 year-olds.

A young girl, who was climbing the pole, to reach the repositioned prize, was very determined and doing quite well. Everyone was cheering her on, as she rested for a minute, getting ready to continue. At that point Coun. Arnett stepped in, asking Berry Frech to give the girl some help by moving her up the pole about four inches; then a couple of inches more. Berry Frech even wiped some grease off the pole, helping the girl reach the $100 bill – which I’m sure she would have done on her own. Coun. Arnett then announced all the money was gone and the contest was over, leaving many young people who had registered and wanted to try the Greasy Pole astounded. What you taught our youth that Saturday is: It’s okay to cheat your way to big bucks and to ignore the public – regardless of age – to reach your goals. I’m sure many of those who witnessed this act will remember next civic election. I would also like to know why the pole was not disassembled after the event, if everyone is so concerned about liability? The tarp and foam were removed, but the pole was still up during the fireworks. Who was responsible for that? Bev Leil Ladysmith

Climate change – No longer a prediction, climate change is occurring right now. Hotter summers, greater extremes of weather, melting glaciers and polar ice caps, rising sea levels and temperatures, acidification of the world’s oceans. These effects have all been documented. It’s projected that the world’s population will increase from 7.3 billion to 11.2 billion between now and 2100, much of that growth occurring in developing nations that want to attain a standard of living similar to that enjoyed by citizens of the developed world. What would you and your party do to address the issue of climate change?

On July 2, 2015 the North Cedar Fire Department and the North Oyster Fire Department were called to a significant wild fire event along the 3000 Block of Cedar Road that spanned both fire protection areas. Due to high temperatures, windy conditions and a heavy fuel loads, this fire quickly grew to approximately 20 Hectares and threatened several properties and required the assistance of multiple fire departments and the Ministry of Forests crews to contain. Along with the attending fire crews, numerous community individuals and local companies as well as the British Columbia Ambulance Service and Ladysmith RCMP provided support through water delivery, food delivery, and assistance with livestock management, traffic control and medical services. Without the support of these individuals and agencies what was already a challenging call would have been all the more difficult. The following agencies and individuals that we would like to recognize include: Cranberry Fire Department Ladysmith Fire Department Chemainus Fire Department Extension Fire Department Crofton Fire Department Maple Bay Fire Department Ministry of Forests Crews from Cobble Hill Mid Island Water Hauling NCE Graff Excavating Mike Schott Contracting
