Sun shines for 35th Annual Terry Fox Run Craig Spence the chronicle

The clouds parted and the sun shone for the 35th Terry Fox Run, which set out from at Frank Jameson Community Centre Sept. 20, with dozens of participants signing up, warming up, then heading out onto the 2.5 kilometer track to complete one, two, three or four laps. Mayor Aaron Stone said he participated in his first run when he was a student at Davis Road Elementary School, and that the spirit of Terry Fox has been with him ever since. “Terry’s spirit and determination really shows the best of what being a Canadian means,” he said. He introduced one of Ladysmith’s most fervent participants in the Terry Fox Run Glenda Patterson, who was sporting the T-shirt she wore in the first ever run she participated in about 30 years ago. A cancer survivor herself – she is currently taking treatment for a relapse – Patterson buoyed the crowd with her own story, and her dedication to the memory of Terry Fox. “I’ve always loved, respected and been encouraged by Terry Fox,” Patterson told the crowd. “He’s definitely one of my idols.” Patterson watches the Terry Fox movie every year, and every year it rekindles hope. She recalled how the movie portrayed Fox observing the faces of children in the cancer clinic where he was receiving treatment, and determined to do something to alleviate the fear and realize the hopes he saw in their eyes. “This is when he decided, ‘I’m going to make this better, and I’m going to do this run. I’m going to help whoever I can to battle cancer’,” Patterson recalled. She is a retired nurse, who has worked with cancer patients herself, so Fox’s resolve resonates, and for Patterson, seeing his run continued is a heart-warming experience. By joining in the run, participants are continuing his legacy, and his battle against cancer. “We shall never forget Terry, and shall continue to keep his dream alive,” she said. Then she quoted Fox himself, saying, “We can beat cancer, all of us, all together.” Event organizer Anita McLeod, the Town of Ladysmith’s community services coordinator, reminded participants that Patterson is one of Terry Fox’s ‘team’. “That’s what people who are cancer survivors in Canada and all over the world are called, is Terry’s Team, and you are one of our favorite members,” she told Patterson. A media kit put out for the 35th Terry Fox Run, recalled some of the history and achievements of the event. See Terry Fox, Page 3

Beyond Your Expectations

Participants set off on the 35th annual Terry Fox Run Sunday, Sept. 20, from Frank Jameson Community Centre after a pep talk, a fuel up – compliments of 49th Parallel Grocery and McDonald’s – and a warm up. They were heading onto a 2.5 km track to complete one, two, three or four circuits raising funds in the fight against cancer. Craig Spence

As in the original proposal, what is known as ‘the Hermit Trail’ will be preserved. “We’ll have a company hired to come in and do a report on North Cowichan’s behalf, because at the end of the day, they are going to be the ones that own it,” Clement said. The report will consider safety issues around use of the trail so that it can be brought “to a standard, when North Cowichan takes it over, that they’re happy with.” Added Clement, “We’re going to keep the ambiance and the natural beauty of the Hermit Trail.” Consideration is being given to bringing a paved access to the trail behind one of the bordering strata developments to provide wheelchair access.

School Board meetings to be aired live Nanaimo-Ladysmith School District may soon be broadcast live, via the internet. Trustees at the district’s Business Committee meeting Sept. 16 recommended board meetings be live streamed online. And for those who miss the Board’s deliberations in real time, there will always be a recorded version of meetings that can be accessed online. “Streaming Board meetings will provide 24-7 access to past Board meetings, which will prove beneficial for those in the community that cannot attend,” says a report from Dale Burgos, director of communications. The recommendation is for purchase and installation of hardware and software for live streaming ‘at a cost of not more than $5,000.’

For Moni Khan a 65 kilometer walk from Ladysmith to Parksville was an endurance test; for the victims fleeing violence, hunger and disease in trouble spots all over the world, their treks are a matter of life and death. That difference was top-of-mind when Khan – accompanied by her friend Crissa Constatine and her teenaged daughters – set out on a fundraising journey, long before the crows flew at about 3 a.m., Friday, Sept. 18. She was expecting to put in 25 hours over the weekend getting from Ladysmith to Parksville by late Saturday or sometime Sunday. Her goal? Raise $5,000 for Doctors Without Borders, the world’s “leading independent international medical relief organization,” according to its web site. Doctors Without Boarders operates in 70 countries, focusing on emergency medical and humanitarian relief. Physicians volunteer their services to the organization; fundraising is needed for logistical operations and medical supplies. Khan said she would have lots of time to think as she advanced onestep-at-a-time toward Parksville, her thoughts focused mainly on the plight of those fleeing persecution, starvation or disease. “Every step will be worth it,” she

Moni Khan walked from Ladysmith to Nanaimo for Doctors Without Borders said before setting out on her walk. “I will be thinking about how they have to walk hundreds of miles to get to freedom and safety.” She’s hoping her gesture will raise awareness about the need for funding to help international relief organizations like Doctors Without Borders. She’s especially hoping her trek will get people donating to Doctors Without Borders on-line Walk Without Borders Challenge. You can donate by going to walkwithoutborders.ca, then clicking the ‘Individual Search’ button and typing in Khan’s name in the space provided. That will take you to her fundraising page.

Artisan Village on again From Page 1 Clement said this round of zoning and development bylaw approvals is ‘going through the process’ and that it’s difficult to say how long that might take. He said plans would be submitted to the North Cowichan Municipality late this year and that approval could come in the beginning of 2016. “So we could maybe see some earthwork being done, possibly by the summer of next year,” he said. Clement said the project will be ‘long term’ and ‘market driven.’ The Chapman road development could take three to four years, “and I could hope to be on the other side of the property in four years,” he said. The plan is flexible, but the east portion of the site will see a mixed development. “I see a lot of townhouses, and some condos, there might be some assisted living for seniors, as per the original document,” he said. Predicting how many units will be built during the life of the project is difficult, Clement said, but he guessed about 250 units would be a likely figure. Rental and affordable housing are still being considered as part of the mix.

Issue Summary #7 - Infrastructure

Municipal and regional governments provide some of the most basic and essential services needed by citizens and businesses to survive and thrive: clean water, roads, sewers, recreational facilities, garbage recycling and disposal. What measures do you believe can be taken to give municipal governments the flexibility and finances they need to build and maintain infrastructure and services that will meet the growing and increasingly complex demands in their areas?

COWICHAN VALLEY WATERING RESTRICTIONS DOWNGRADED TO STAGE 2 EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 18, 2015 Watering restrictions remain in effect until October 31, 2015 but with the recent rainfall, the low streamflow advisory has ended and the provincial drought level for Vancouver Island has been downgraded. Considering this, along with a wet weather forecast in the near future, all local governments in the Cowichan Valley will downgrade the restrictions to stage 2 effective Friday, September 18, 2015. During Stage 2, the following restrictions apply: •

Owners or residents of even numbered civic addresses are permitted to water on Wednesdays and Saturdays between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. OR between 8:00 p.m. and 10:00 pm (2 hours maximum per scheduled day)

•

Owners or residents of odd numbered civic addresses are permitted to water on Thursdays and Sundays between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. OR between 8:00 p.m. and 10:00 pm ( 2 hours maximum per scheduled day)

•

Automatic sprinkling systems must be programmed to match Stage 2 permitted dates and times or be manually operated to comply with the bylaw.

•

Commercial enterprises which require water to facilitate normal business activities such as power washing companies or window washing companies, are permitted unless ordered otherwise by the Director of Public Works.

•

Washing of cars, boats, driveways and houses is permitted.

•

Garden Irrigation Permits are still not being issued during Stage 2.

•

Hand watering of trees, shrubs, flowers, or vegetables is permitted on any day of the week between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. OR between 8:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. by use of a hose with a spring-loaded nozzle or by bucket (maximum 2 hours per day). Micro irrigation or drip irrigation systems may be utilized anytime to a maximum of 4 hours per day.

The Cowichan Valley local governments would like to thank all residents and commercial businesses for their water conservation efforts these past few months. It did make a difference!

Opinion

Elephant flatulence Well duh! What else do you say when someone points to the gigantic pachyderm squeezed into B.C.’s environmental closet, and notes the obvious fact that elephants fart – in this case, massive amounts of greenhouse gases. A recent pronouncement by the University of Victoria Environmental Law Centre was treated as if it was earth shattering news. Earth shattering it may well be; news it shouldn’t have… or rather, it should have been old news years ago. The main UVic ‘finding’ was that B.C. is using a ‘flawed environmental assessment process” to arrive at its vaunted claim to leadership in reducing global greenhouse gas emissions. In fact recent decisions by the Liberal government are destined to make B.C. a global leader in the production of greenhouse gases as measured on a per capita scale. What B.C. uses as its measure of mitigation success is greenhouse gases emitted by processes that take place in B.C. – including emissions generated in the extraction and production of carbon based fuels. What’s left out of the accounting are the greenhouse gas emissions we export or will be exporting in the form of coal and – if Christy Clark’s Liberal vision for the future holds – liquefied natural gas, to be burned in other countries. Bad as the first set of stats are likely to be – many predict B.C. will not be able to maintain even its purblind CO2 targets if it becomes a major producer of LNG – they will be dwarfed as countries like China burn the ever increasing sources of carbon based fuels we are intent on providing. Instead of LNG, say B.C. went big time into the production of heroin for export to the world. We could claim we treat our workers well, that our health standards are high, and consumption low. But would the world not treat us as a pariah? Of course they would; and rightly so. Truth of the matter is we’re being sold an environmental bill of goods by the proponents of oil, coal and natural gas, and our children are going to pay the price. Instead of investing in energy sources and technologies of the future, B.C. is being hoodwinked into coupling its future to energy sources that we have been repeatedly warned must stay in the ground.

BC Ferries charting 1.9% fare increases Craig Spence the chronicle

BC Ferries Commissioner Gord Macatee said Wednesday, Sept. 16, that fares will be capped at a 1.9 per cent per year increase between 2016 and 2020. The increases are the lowest since 2003, according to Transportation Minister Todd Stone, who called the decision ‘good news’ for ferry users. But Macatee said calls for rollbacks of fares on some routes were outside his authority. “The commissioner notes that a great deal of work has gone into addressing fare affordability over the past four years,” said a statement from BC Ferries. Macatee presented his decision in a report after conducting and independent review of the newest Coastal Ferry Services contract. In May the Islands Trust – which represents the interests of islands between the B.C. mainland and south Vancouver Island – hired a public consulting firm to calculate what it would cost to lower fares

The Kuper heads for the dock in Chemainus... no fare cut in sight. on all minor ferry routes by 25 per cent. Perrin Thorau & Associates estimated $11 million to $14 million, and Islands Trust Chair Peter Luckham said that would be money well spent. He noted that since the enactment of the Coastal Ferries Act in 2003, fares on some minor routes have increased at a rate four to five times higher than inflation. A 1.9 per cent per year fare increase over four years will not be welcome news. “The Islands trust is con-

cerned even higher fares may push ferry-dependent communities over a ‘tipping point’ that will damage economies and reduce ridership,” he said. Todd, in response Macatee’s announcement, said BC Ferries must continue to look for ways to make fares affordable. “There is more work for BC Ferries to do over the next four years to further reduce pressure on fares to ensure our coastal ferry service operates as efficiently and affordably as possible, well into the future,” he said.

250-245-5553 DEATHS

IRVING, Lillian Gertrude (nĂŠe Macmillan) September 17, 1924 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; September 9, 2015 Trudy passed away suddenly, but very peacefully, with her sons Doug and John at her bedside, on Sept. 9, one week short of her 91st birthday. She is remembered by her large family and many friends as the woman always glad to see you walk in the door, always curious about what you are doing and how you are, and always ready to support your projects and (even) crazy ideas. The word â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;? rarely passed her lips. A woman full of courage â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to come back from a broken hip twice during her 80s, and to breathe through an oxygen tube for over a decade â&#x20AC;&#x201C; she was a life-long beauty, recognized in later years by the elegant twist of white hair atop her head. Married to John Irving for 67 years, they had ďŹ ve children, 14 grandchildren and six (three more on the way) greatgrandchildren. Goo â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a childhood name that stuck â&#x20AC;&#x201C; lived on a ranch near Cayley, Alberta, that later became the Macmillan Hutterite Colony, and attended St. Hildaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school in Calgary. She met John in Calgary, followed him to Montreal and Halifax, where they both served in the RCN during WWII, then returned to Calgary to marry. They lived in Scarboro for 20 years, before moving to Saltair on Vancouver Island, where they had 40+ happy years together. Trudy was getting ready to host her weekly bridge game the day she went to Duncan hospital. Word and card games, and all televised sports, especially tennis, made her day in later life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m content,â&#x20AC;? she countered, when recently asked if she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss the â&#x20AC;&#x153;on the moveâ&#x20AC;? attitude she long fostered in herself and her family. The family wishes to thank Angela Schultz for her loving and lively care of Trudy over the past four years. They cooked up a storm together! A funeral service will take place at Chemainus United Church on September 27 at 2:00 pm. The family hopes that Trudyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s church and community friends will be there with them to share stories and memories. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers, donations to the Chemainus Hospital Auxiliary are greatly appreciated.
