If Viki Lyne II does go down who owns her? Look to Zeballos for an answer Craig Spence the chronicle

What will happen if the Viki Lyne II ever does sink in Ladysmith Harbour? You can look north to Zeballos Inlet if you want a likely preview of the outcome, and perhaps an idea as to why the Coast Guard is taking the steps announced in an Aug. 11 email to the Chronicle. A story in the online edition of the Campbell River Mirror (Aug. 4, Sunken logging camp spoils Zeballos Inlet) could foreshadow things to come in Ladysmith. There, a derelict floating barge camp broke loose from its moorage last fall and ‘drifted around the inlet’ before coming to rest on the shoreline near Zeballos Resolution Park. Transport Canada’s Regional Communications Advisor Jillian Glover is quoted: “At this time, the vessel is not an obstruction to navigation and the fuel tanks have been removed by the Canadian Coast Guard. As a result, Transport Canada will not be taking further action.” In other words, if a boat sinks in Ladysmith harbour or anywhere else, as long as it’s not an environmental or navigational hazard, it’s not a responsibility of either the Coast Guard or DFO to remove it. The Viki Lyne II is still afloat, but just barely, according to a survey commissioned by the Coast Guard. The report said the hull of the vessel is so corroded it may already be rusted through, the vessel being kept afloat by encrusting scale and marine growth. See Viki Lyne II, Page 3

Ladysmith potter Mary Fox plans to leave future artists a legacy: her Third Ave. studio for two year residencies

Potter Mary Fox living her legacy now Craig Spence the chronicle

As a potter, Mary Fox doesn’t have to calculate a vanishing point in her works; as an inspired human being, she has a vanishing point clearly in mind, and wants to build a legacy beyond the here-and-now. Fox plans to bequeath her studio at 321 Third Avenue in Ladysmith to be used as a place where young potters will be able to get a start. “When I pass, there will be a residency here – an artists’ residency,” she said. “The idea is that an artist under the age of 30 can apply to become a resident artist at Mary Fox Studio for two years.” She is working with the Potters’ Guild of British Columbia and Vancouver Island University to get what has turned out to be a major project set up. A board of directors has to be in place; documentation about how the residency program and legacy will work; and an accumulation of assets that will sustain the project in perpetuity. “Everything is in the formation stage right now,” Fox said. But her vision is clear: “A place for young artists to start honing their craft. “Whatever I accumulate in my lifetime will go to support the legacy project.” Fox is taking steps to leverage her al-

How to balance truth, budgets

“Whatever I accumulate in my lifetime will go to support the legacy project.” Mary Fox, Page 1

Editor: When interviewed after the tabling of the 2014 budget last February Justin Trudeau was asked if balancing the budget was a priority for him and if so how would he go about it. He answered “the commitment needs to be a commitment to grow the economy and the budget will balance itself”. The last part of that response has been taken out of context and used to ridicule Trudeau for thinking a budget will balance itself. However if you are honest and take the whole of what he said he is in the august company of Flaherty, Thatcher, Regan and Harper himself who routinely point out that economic growth is crucial to balancing a budget. Liz Fox Lantzville

Water’s cheap at $2.25 a pool-full Editor: Nestle pays a twoonie and a quarter for a million litres of our B.C. fresh water, pours those litres into plastic bottles and sells them to BC residents who owned the water in the first place, but now have to buy Nestle’s bottled water because their wells have run dry. But in the equation there’s the necessary middleman like London Drugs at Port Place Centre in Nanaimo that on July 29th had a Manager’s Special of $4.99 on cases of Nestle water. Wow! For every case of that bottled water sold, Nestle can now legally buy two more million litres of B.C. water because the Liberals in Victoria say that’s just fine with them. Maybe that’s a bit harsh. The middleman needs his cut so it’s $2.50 for London Drugs and $2.50 for Nestle out of the $4.99, give or take what used to be a penny. But that’s still another million litres of B.C. water on its way into Nestle’s plastic prisons with a quarter back in change.

Cigarette tossers spark legislature fall session

BC Views

by Tom Fletcher VICTORIA – The B.C. legislature is being recalled Sept. 28 for a fall session that will likely deal with increasing penalties for distracted driving and careless smoking. The B.C. government has signalled its intention to increase penalties in both areas. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton announced preliminary results of public consultation on distracted driving penalties at the end of June, with 90 per cent of respondents calling for stiffer penalties for using smartphones while driving. Anton said the current $167 ticket for distracted drivers is not sufficient for repeat offenders, who could have their vehicles impounded. Saskatchewan has introduced a one-week seizure of the ve-

hicle for drivers who get two distracted driving tickets less than a year apart. After dry conditions sparked an early start to the B.C. forest fire season, Forests Minister Steve Thomson announced a review of penalties for violating campfire bans and tossing lit cigarettes. Thomson appointed Prince George-Mackenzie MLA Mike Morris, a former RCMP superintendent, to lead a simi-

The Sea Among Us will change your point of view Craig Spence the chronicle

‘Seaweed harvest expansion decried.’ That headline in the Vancouver Island section of the Times Colonist probably would have slipped by me unnoticed a couple of months ago. I mean, really, who cares about seaweed? But since I’ve been working my way through The Sea Among Us, The amazing Strait of Georgia (Harbour Publishing, Richard Beamish and Gordon McFarlane, 2014), I’m beginning to put headlines like that into context. Then came the sub-head: ‘ExDFO scientist asks: “Who has decided whether there is a surplus?’” In this instance the seaweed referred to is a variety named Mazzella japonica, which looks “like soggy detritus washed up on shore, but is more like pure gold, with increasing global demand for its use in everything from toothpaste to ice cream.” The thing about The Sea Among Us is context. Starting with Geology, the weighty book goes on to The Physical Ocean, then moves into the realm of Biological Oceanography, which introduces readers to the microscopic organisms that make up

phytoplankton and zooplankton – the very building blocks of life in the ocean and by extension, in the Strait of Georgia. Next comes Invertebrates and Marine Plants; The Fishes (as far as I’ve got); The Marine Mammals; and The Coastal Birds. Surface and take a breath. That concludes Part 1. In Part 2 The Sea Among Us will introduce that most noticeable organism of all, which abounds around, on and in the Strait of Georgia: Humans. Beginning with The Pre-Contact Era, The Sea Among Us moves into The Zone Encounter, then The History of the Fisheries. So let’s get back to that subhead: Who decided whether there is (or was) a surplus… of anything? What emerges as you read through the pages of The Sea Among Us is an incredibly rich and complex, interconnected world of interacting elements that have evolved over tens of thousands of years into a unique, inland sea environment. I haven’t got to the pre-contact era yet, but based on my experience of indigenous cultures, I would guess they will be described as being far more intune with the sea among them

– far more a part of the ecosystem that not only nourished physically, but sustained spiritually, as well. Then along came the Europeans. Don’t get me wrong. I’m European to the core. The Sea Among Us is a science-based, European perspective on a part of the world I love. That’s important, because less than a third of the way through what is really a text book (and could easily become the basis of a terrific introductory course) the error of my European ways is breaking through the Strait’s surface like the tip of a dreadful reef… This hazard threatens not only The Strait of Georgia, but just about every ecosystem on the planet, and ultimately, the wondrous diversity of life. It’s our narrow, purely commercial, wholly decontextualized interest in the profit potential of living organisms and the habitats that sustain them.

Mary Dennison, Sing For Pure Joy choir leader

Singing for the joy of it

Arts on the Avenue a big draw

Thousands of art lovers took a stroll down First Avenue between Buller and Warren Streets to take in this year’s Arts on the Avenue event, which featured 56 artists and crafts people, members of the Ladysmith Arts Council, which puts on the event. Island Gourd Artist Jessey LaFontaine described the techniques she uses to etch and paint on ‘hard shelled’ gourds to Sonja Maans of Ladysmith, who was about to buy one of the pieces. Right, an art lover takes in some of the thousands of works on display, including paintings, drawings, fine art photographs, carving, jewellery, pottery and more. One of the highlights of Light Up the Night, the LAC’s evening of activities the night before, was a process called Steam roller art. Francois Cormier and Lottie Anderson placed and prepared works on the pavement, and Chase Bricker of Mid-Island Paving obliged by rolling over them with a 2 tonne pavement roller. You can see the process in video on the Chronicle’s Facebook site at Ladysmith/Chemainus Chronicle.

There is a proverb from Zimbabwe that states, ‘If you can walk you can dance...if you can talk , you can sing.” “For most of human history, people sang together. It wasn’t seen as a competition or a contest. It was a joyful communal experience,” says Daniel Levitin in This is your Brain on Music. “In the past 500 years we have had concert halls which set up a separation between the performer and the audience that didn’t exist in human history before.” “Not only is singing good for the soul but there is a growing body of clinical evidence that indicates that singing, with its emphasis on deep breathing and good posture, can help to heal the body,” adds Oliver Sacks, neurologist and author of Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain. This is why it is an effective way to remember or to learn. It is no accident that we teach our children with rhymes and songs. The music burrows itself so deep in the nervous system, that even when people suffer devastating neurological disease or injury, music is the last thing they lose. Those are just a few of the benefits that flow when people get together and Sing For Pure Joy, says Mary Dennison, who will once again be bringing together a choir to tap into the music starting Aug. 29 at The Lodge on Fouth, 1127 Fourth Ave., Ladysmith from 6:30 to 8 p.m. “If you desire an added boost of endorphins gleefully flooding through your body raise your voice in glorious song with heart-felt melodies, soulful gospel songs and rousing spirituals,” Dennison says. And anyone can join in the chorus. “This is not a paper-trained choir. No written music is used. All songs are taught in the traditional method of call and response,” Dennison says. Find out more by contacting Mary Dennison at 250-202-1003 or singforpurejoy@gmail.com for details and specific dates.

Terrible Beauty opens at NAG Nanaimo Art Gallery has partnered with Nanaimo Museum to present A Terrible Beauty: Edward Burtynsky in Dialogue with Emily Carr. Toronto-based photographer Edward Burtynsky is internationally renowned for his captivating images of natural and man-made landscapes that reflect both the impressive reach of human enterprise and the extraordinary impact of our hubris. This exhibition presents a selection of photographs Burtynsky produced between 1983 and 2013 that together represent all his major bodies of work, from his early series of homestead photographs shot in British Columbia in the early 1980s, to his new, ground breaking project that explores water’s fundamental place in the world ecology. The Nanaimo Museum is located in the Vancouver Island Conference Centre and is open Monday to Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm. Contact the museum at 250 753-1821 or visit www.nanaimomuseum.ca

X FEDERAL ELECTION 2015 Mark MacDonald Conservative The Harper government has not made cuts to health care spending – they have actually increased health care funding by 6 per cent per year. In fact, the Conservative government has actually increased health care by that amount per year since 2006, and has promised to tie future increases to a three-year average of GDP growth. The Canada Health Transfer was $20.1 billion in 2006 when the Conservatives formed government, and totaled $30.3 billion in 2014. That is a very significant increase. Some suggest the answer to every problem is simply throw more money at it, but this is not practically possible. Looking within to find efficiencies can often identify new procedures and solutions that improve the system to the benefit of everyone. There is always room for improvement, including in our health care system. We should always be inspecting to see whether or not we are

Liberals want to expand research and professional training. Our health care system is a source of pride and comfort for Canadians yet it needs to be modernized to ensure it continues to deliver high-quality, effective, and efficient care for Canadians. Our populations are aging, demands on the system are increasing and the biggest challenge can be finding a family doctor.

Issue Summary 4 Poverty & Homelessness

Paul Manly Green The Chronicle did not receive a response from Paul Manly on health care issues in time for inclusion in this issue summary.

Poverty and homelessness are issues that have social and financial implications for Canada, particularly for Canadian cities. The social cost of having people living in poverty and homelessness is: increased sickness and mortality; increased crime; deterioration of neighbourhoods. Cities do not have the resources to deal with poverty and homelessness. There is growing evidence that the cost of dealing with poverty on the street is greater than what it would cost to provide shelter and adequate services. What would your party do to reduce homelessness and alleviate the effects of poverty. Do you believe a more effective national strategy on poverty and homelessness is needed?

economic plan dedicated to better growth, good jobs and more fairness - especially for the middle-class and all those working so hard to get there. Canada also needs a federal government that is willing to work constructively with B.C. on vital priorities. For Nanaimo-Ladysmith, that means important things like infrastructure; fight on climate change, health care leadership to improve access to family doctors and fix transportation to the mainland. We don’t have to settle for mediocrity. We need real change. The Harper government has to go. It’s time to end the scandals, the secrecy, the arrogance and the partisan attacks on Canadian Democracy. The blatant attempt by the Harper Conservatives to buy votes by spending billions of taxpayers’ money for the sole purpose of staying in power is shameless. It is time for an open and transparent government that promises to bring fairness back to the middle class. Canadians have the opportunity to compare our plan for real change against Harper’s failed plan.  Mr. Mulcair has provided no answers on how he

will grow our economy. The NDP does not have a sound fiscal track record here in British Columbia. Do we risk our struggling national economy on empty promises? Liberals have a plan to deliver fairness and growth that works for everyone. Our plan will cut taxes for the middle class, so Canadians can keep more of their pay cheques. We will also create one bigger, fair, and tax-free monthly benefit that will help families with the high cost of raising their kids.   Liberals have committed to fighting climate change and with it have strong incentives for investment to grow the Green Sector economy that will bring jobs and investment to NanaimoLadysmith. I have spoken with thousands of people in Nanaimo-Ladysmith and most are telling me they want change, this is a historic election and I urge voters to make an informed decision. Given most of us want change then vote for whom best represents the social, environmental and economic issues of our time. Vote for someone that can make change happen. We can make Canada and Nanaimo-Ladysmith a better place.

BC Soccer Director Don Moslin with Bill Merriman and Willow Hartig. Merriman, technical director of the Mid-Island Soccer Club was named Coach of the Year by BC Soccer earlier this summer; Hartig, president of Mid-Isle was given the Award of Merit. “Deserving” and “outstanding,” Moslin said.

Some soccer stars keep to sidelines Craig Spence the chronicle

Some of the real heroes of the beautiful game stick to the sidelines, and two of those stars in the Ladysmith area were recognized recently by BC Soccer. Mid Island Soccer Club President Willow Hartig was handed the Award of Merit for her support of the game for more than 10 years; and Technical Director Bill Merriman was named Coach of the Year. BC Soccer Director Don Moslin said the two have made a difference in the game here.

“We’re all aware of the work that Willow has done for the MidIsle Soccer Club,” he said. “It’s outstanding, we really look for individuals who have contributed a lot to their clubs and communities.” Hartig’s efforts have been instrumental in getting a turf field in Ladysmith, he said. She has also been a leader during a period where Mid-Isle has developed programs and built an organization that brings together 200 plus players, coaches and parents. “She really has developed and built that

Beware of tax scam RCMP are continuing to warn about scammers who claim to be from the Canada Revenue Agency, and make repeated calls to victims, subjecting them to “extremely threatening and frightening” demands that taxes owed be paid.

People receiving calls from any agency asking for money over the phone should be wary. If in doubt hang up the phone,” police advise.

Back-to-school anxiety? BC Children’s shares tips for parents With students heading back to school in September, BC Children’s Hospital is sharing tips on how to help parents and guardians deal with anxiety and stress. “Some children and youth embrace backto-school excitement, others need help easing into the school-year routine,” says Dr. Jane Garland, Psychiatrist, BC Children’s Hospital. “Common worries for children include difficult classes, making new friends and meeting and adjusting to a new teacher. “These worries are normal when introducing your child to a new school experience or changing their routine.” Garland recommends parents plan ahead to help ease the back-to-school transition.

“Whether it is your child’s first day at school, or if they are having a hard time adjusting after summer break, gradually exposing them to their environment can make a big difference,” she says. Tips for parents and caregivers: • Introduce children to the school year routine one to two weeks before school starts • Plan for transitions – getting to school, returning to school after breaks • Provide regular routines – morning, school, homework, bedtime • Provide clear expectations, limits and consequences • Hold realistic expectations that are right for your child’s age

• Help your child identify his or her feel- • Constantly worries ings – nervous, intimidated, shy • Constantly seeks comfort and reassurance • Pay attention to your child’s feelings • Shows extreme shyness, avoiding social • Ask your child if they have ideas or solu- situations or events tions for a particular concern • Has physical complaints with no medi• Show yourself identifying your own feel- cal explanation (stomach aches, headings, problem solving and being brave aches, difficulty catching breath) • Remain calm when your child is anxious • Throws tantrums, cries or screams ex• Praise and reward even their small ac- cessively. complishments “Taking time to expose your child to their Consider seeking more help if your child: new routine one to two weeks before • Attempts to remain at home or with a school starts can help lower their anxiety caregiver and help instill excitement,” Garland says. • Refuses to attend school on certain days “This could involve simple things like plan(field trips) ning and packing lunches together, build• Refuses to eat in public ing a school supply list or visiting the • Refuses to use public bathrooms school playground for a picnic.”
