The Nanaimo Foundation, which has been raising funds for community organizations in the geographic area encompassed by School District 68, wants to raise its profile in Ladysmith. So you are invited to a ‘community engagement’ meeting Nov. 30 at the Eagles Hall, 921 First Ave from 7 to 8 p.m. Laurie Bienert, development officer for the Nanaimo Foundation, said the ‘top objectives for our presentation and discussion on building vibrancy, health and resiliency in Ladysmith’ will be: • Providing clarity on what a community foundation is and how we operate.

N. Cowichan offering rebates for new washing machines North Cowichan residents are eligible for rebates of $100 to $200 on the price of a high efficiency washing machine during what is being billed as ‘Offtober, a month of saving power and money.’ BC Hydro is offering the rebates on select Energy Star® high efficiency washing machines. The cash-back offer is only available until Nov. 30, and only North Cowichan residents are eligible for the higher rebates. “This rebate program is intended to highlight energy and water savings in our households,” said North Cowichan Mayor Jon Lefebure, “and we are pleased to be partnering with BC Hydro on this initiative that helps our community to reach our energy conservation goals.”
Tommy Douglas legend relived When Tommy Douglas was the member of parliament for Lake Cowichan, he probably never imagined that someday his name and the story of his life would help the community to preserve its own history. The Kaatza Historical Society presents Tommy Douglas: the Arrows of Desire Nov. 6 to 8 at the Lake Cowichan School Theatre. The society is raising funds to build an annex at the museum. The play is written and performed by John Nolan who makes his home in Lake Cowichan. Tickets are $20, $15 for seniors and students at the Kaatza Station Museum, Lake Cowichan Curves, Ten Old Books and Dunan Garage.
A quick fix for VW emissions Craig Spence the chronicle
For Volkswagen diesel owners who want to fix their cars’ environmental emissions performance without fixing the numbers, there’s a solution just down the road at Duncan’s biodiesel co-op. The co-op, which has been recycling cooking oil from restaurants and commercial kitchens into biodiesel fuel that can go almost straight into the tank of most diesel engines, responded to news that Volkwagen has been cooking its emission numbers with a simple message: Change your fuel. “The Cowichan Biodiesel Co-op (CBDC) has been supplying 100 per cent renewable biodiesel, made from recycled cooking oils, as a petro-diesel alternative since 2005,” said CBDC Project Manager Hassaan Rahim in an October media release. So even if your VW engine isn’t running up to snuff – environmentally speaking – you can still drive the car with a clear conscience if you simply start filling up with biodiesel. That some diesel auto manufacturers were cheating was, perhaps, news; that all cars, no matter how finely tuned, pollute shouldn’t have been, Rahim pointed out. In fact, even for diesels that are genuinely high performance when it comes to emissions, using biodiesel whenever possible makes sense. “Even the ones that pass emissions testing are still releasing greenhouse gases and toxins into the atmosphere,” Rahim said. “With this recent news, now we just know that some cars pollute more than
we previously thought.” Electric vehicles are a good alternative – if you can afford the switch, and if you can be sure the source of your electricity is non-polluting. But for the many diesel owners who are still making payments on their vehicles, biodiesel is a viable green alternative. “Biodiesel offers well-documented environmental, mechanical and human health benefits,” Rahim said. “It reduces CO2 and other harmful emissions to the atmosphere and our lungs, including an 80 to 90 per cent reduction in PAHs and other carcinogens.” PAHs (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) are ‘reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen’ according to the Agency for Toxic Substances & Disease Registry. Making the switch from harmful petro-diesel to biodiesel is easy, Rahim said, “For Volkswagen owners asking themselves what to do next, biodiesel is a ‘drop-in’ fuel that can be used now in existing diesel vehicles with little or no modifications needed.” Asked how complicated it is to switch from petrol to biodiesel, Rahim said the transition is easy, and biodiesel users can switch back and forth. “We recommend easing your car to using biodiesel, so starting with a 50 per cent blend for a few times and then going up to 100 per cent biodiesel,” he explained. Biodiesel is available at the Cowichan Biodiesel Co-op, 55 Station St, Duncan (phone 250-748-2694 for information or visit smellbetter.org). Rahim noted that a ‘growing BC Biofuel Network’ also makes biodiesel available in Victoria and Vancouver.
Biodiesel is a good environmental option proponents say

Sgt. Ken Brissard, appointed ‘interim’ Commander of the Ladysmith RCMP detachment.
‘Interim’ RCMP commander plans to stay in Ladysmith Craig Spence the chronicle
Sgt. Ken Brissard, who spoke to the Chronicle five days after arriving in town to take over command of the Ladysmith RCMP detachment on an ‘interim’ basis, comes from a long line of RCMP members – and the 25 year veteran was first in that line. His oldest daughter is a member serving on the West Shore. Her husband joined the force and is posted to the Island District headquarters. His second daughter is a dispatcher on Vancouver Island. His third daughter’s husband is ‘in depot,’ about to complete his training and report to a detachment in Alberta. Brissard didn’t lay claim to title of the RCMP’s most effective recruitment officer, but it doesn’t take long to come to the conclusion he’s a man who loves his job and has a clear grasp of what the

From Page 1 “We recognize that raising funds to tackle an issue is only part of any solution,” she said. “We also engage citizens, organizations, and governments, and invite them to work together and contribute their time, ideas, expertise, and energy to address community needs. “We believe this is the most meaningful and effective way to make lasting improvements. A gift
of time is as valuable as a monetary gift.” When it comes to funding, though, she said organizations in Ladysmith may not know that they can apply to the Nanaimo Foundation, and contribute to it knowing their contributions will make a difference here. “I suspect most Ladysmith non-profits do not apply to us for funding or hold endowment funds with us as they don’t know we ex-

And when generous donors provide gifts of perpetuity to us— their community foundation – we want them to have a guarantee that Ladysmith funds will stay in Ladysmith.” Grants provided in Ladysmith, include: The Ladysmith Resources Centre Association, The Ladysmith Boys & Girls Club and The Ladysmith Kinsmen.

Opinion
Pedestrians and drivers get heads-up The days are getting shorter, the nights longer. There’s often rain pelting down, or snow piling up, and people are hunkered down, sometimes not paying as much attention as they should to the world around them. All of the above, and more, are factors in the annual ‘spike’ in traffic accidents involving pedestrians between the months of November and January. ICBC has launched its annual safety campaign, along with the B.C. Coroners Service, the B.C. government and police urging pedestrians and drivers to do their parts to stay safe. A stark statistic should convince most of us that more due care and attention is needed at this time of year. Almost two times more pedestrians are injured in crashes from November to January compared to June to August as the weather changes and daylight hours decrease. The top contributing factors attributed to drivers in crashes with pedestrians are: distraction, failure to yield the right of way and weather. Drivers should take extra time to look for pedestrians before turning, avoid distractions and be ready to yield. Pedestrians can help stay safe by making eye contact, wearing bright and reflective clothing, and staying focused on the road. “As drivers, we need to quit making excuses for not seeing pedestrians by staying focused on our driving. As pedestrians, it’s critical that we do what we can to be seen by drivers,” said B.C.’s Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Todd Stone. For those who get into trouble simply because they think they have the right-of-way and don’t need to pay attention, Dr. Kelly Barnard, director of the medical unit at the B.C. Coroners Service has a word of advice. “Regardless of who is legally in the right in cases where a pedestrian is struck by a vehicle, it’s always the pedestrian who suffers the most catastrophic consequences,” he said. That’s obvious; or should be. The Ladysmith-Chemainus Chronicle is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

“There is no way I could put on this uniform... if I didn’t believe in the Charter of Rights” Sgt. Ken Brissard, Page 3 / On being an RCMP officer
B.C.’s drunk driving penalties upheld Jeff Nagel Black Press
Canada’s top court has upheld B.C.’s tough system of roadside penalties for impaired drivers, including vehicle impoundments, stiff fines and immediate 90-day licence suspensions. The Supreme Court of Canada handed down twin judgments Friday that back key elements of the provincial government’s policy after it was challenged by motorists. Justices said there was “no doubt” automatic roadside prohibitions are within the province’s jurisdiction and a valid regulatory measure. They rejected the argument of opponents that the penalties effectively create an offence that requires a right to a fair trial, not an instant decision by police after a failed blood-alcohol reading on a portable device. The court found the province’s “pressing and substantial” goal of enacting the scheme “was not to oust the criminal law, but rather to prevent death and serious injury on public roads by removing drunk drivers and de-
terring impaired driving.” Roadside penalties have largely supplanted criminal investigations and prosecutions for impaired driving in B.C. The amount of time and money expended on drunk driving cases in the courts and by police is down because of the nearly 70 per cent drop in impaired charges. Police still pursue criminal charges in cases of injury or death due to drunk driving. Defence lawyers have criticized the immediate roadside prohibitions as a de facto decriminalization of most cases of impaired driving. Although drivers who are caught and punished at roadside face stiff sanctions, they do not usually risk an impaired driving conviction and criminal record. Also before the courts was the constitutionality of the compulsory demand to provide a breath sample or face roadside penalties. A majority of Supreme Court justices said the original 2010 provision did violate the Charter of Rights protection against

unlawful search and seizure. The province amended its law in 2012 to allow drivers who fail a roadside breath test to take a second test – the lowest of the two readings is used – and created a process for them to appeal driving prohibitions. “Our belief is that the amendments our government made in June 2012 already address the constitutional issues noted in the court’s decision,” B.C. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said. It’s not yet clear if drivers penalized in the first two years of the program could be compensated. Anton welcomed the ruling, adding immediate roadside prohibitions have been “very effective” and have saved an estimated 260 lives over the past five years. “People are learning from them, they’re not drinking and driving as much,” Anton said. “As soon as you blow that warn or that fail you will be penalized. And that is what deters people from drinking and driving. That’s what keeps our roads safe.”

Off-road registration required Unregistered riders face fine of up to $5,000, impoundment of vehicles As of Nov. 1 owners of offroad vehicles have to get them registered, or face big fines. A new registration system for off-road vehicles became mandatory at the beginning of this month, so if you own a dirt bike, quad, snow mobile or a side-by-side, you are legally required to plate and insure the vehicle if you are riding it any other place than on private land. Failure to do so will put you at risk of a $5,000 fine and impoundment of your vehicle. “We’ve already seen a lot of clients in the branches but expect more before the deadline at the end of the month,” said Jodi Meldrum, a manager of insurance services with Island Savings in late October. The new registration system, introduced by Ministry of Forests, Lands & Resources last November, is designed to catch rogue operators and joyriders who put others in danger.

Quamichan Lake has been short listed as the location for a new National Rowing Centre of Excellence, the Municipality of North Cowichan has announced. “We are very excited at the prospect of having such a high-profile, national organization like Rowing Canada considering locating here in our community,” Mayor Jon Lefebure said in a release. “The positive example set by these talented athletes would be an incredible benefit for our youth.” Rowing Canada is interested in both private and public sites on the Lake, and will be undertaking a comprehensive site analysis and consultation process. If North Cowichan is chosen, Lefebure said, “The increase in our profile not only nationally, BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND: NANAIMO CONCERT BAND PRESENTS

Ken Hamm to perform Nov. 4 If you’re looking for a hit of some “really hot acoustic guitar and slide guitar,” you’ll want to take in Ken Hamm’s performance Wednesday, Nov. 4, 7 p.m. at St. Michael’s Hall in Chemainus. “Hamm doesn’t require a lot of introduction,” says a release from the Chemainus Valley Cultural Arts Society, announcing its Chemainus City Limits series of winter concerts. He’s a blues and roots musical artist with an international reputation, who has been playing
professionally since the late 1960’s. “He has a reputation as a dynamic, moving performer, mixing hot slide finger style acoustic blues with original songs based on his travels and encounters,” says the release. Admission to the concert is $10; tickets available at Chemainus Foods or at the door. The CVCAS will be announcing more concerts in the series soon, but has two dates already lined up, for people who want to mark their calendars. On March 18, they
will feature “the ever-popular Diana Braithwaite and Chris Whiteley,” who will stop in Chemainus with their band on their western tour. Then, on April 7, “the wonderful Lizzie Hoyt,” will be here with her
trio. Among Hoyt’s high notes is recognition with the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal for music. More information available at the Chemainus Valley Cultural Arts Society web site: cvcas. com

More than half the Cedar catchment area students attending Ladysmith Secondary School, who will be continuing their education in 2016, either intend to stay at LSS or are undecided. Superintendent of Schools John Blain delivered that information to Trustees in a report, based on interviews and surveys of students, presented to the Board of Education at its Oct. 28 meeting. “On September 18, 2015, the Department of Learning Services sent a letter home to Cedar and Cinnabar Valley area students, who will be in Grades 8-12 in September 2016,” says Blain’s report. “The letter surveyed students on which secondary school they wish to attend once Cedar Secondary School re-opens in September 2016.” At LSS the school contacted families ‘via numerous avenues’ and also surveyed Cedar catchment students ‘from class to class.’ Of the 122 Cedar catchment students attending LSS, 77 plan on returning to Cedar when the school reopens in Sept. 2016; 34 intend to continue their education at LSS; and 11 are undecided. At John Barsby Secondary School the split is even more pronounced. The ratio is reversed. Of the 163 Cedar catchment students attending there: 44 plan on returning to Cedar; 109 on continuing at John Barsby; 10 were undecided. Factoring in Grade 7 students presently attending North Cedar Intermediate School and Cinnabar Valley Elementary School a total of 202 students, out of 391 who live in the Cedar Secondary catchment, have said they will be attending Cedar Secondary.

Both are graduating students. Horth has started in every match over the last two years. “It was really good, I really enjoyed it, she said. Commenting on this year, she added, ” I thought it was a hard year for us, we were a pretty young team so I think for us it was just learning and getting to know everyone really well.”
East Coast Week
Prostate Centre target $400,000 In the month of “Movember” men across the country support prostate cancer awareness, and on Vancouver Island, that awareness begins with Island Prostate Centre (IPC). A local, independent nonprofit that has supported island men and their families for the last fifteen years, the centre is using this year’s anniversary milestone as an opportunity to launch its largest annual campaign to date. “We are well on our way to further building our capacity. We are adding more quality programs each year and have been inviting more donors to join us as we continue to support our men and their families on Vancouver Island,” said LeSubscribe to Director. anne Kopp, Executive IPC is an important healthcare link, providing free pro250-245-2277 grams and support Includes to men $ families online facing a and their access prostate cancer diagnosis.

vices include individual and group counselling, information, research support and local outreach, all made possible through fundraising efforts. In celebration of 15 years serving its communities, IPC has set their annual campaign goal at an ambitious $400,000 – its largest yet. “Currently, one in eight Vancouver Island men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer,” said IPC Board Chair, Murray Tough. As a son whose father passed away from prostate cancer, Tough is aware of the importance of a local and accessible support system for men and their families. “Island Prostate Centre works as a trusted connection between family doctors, urologists and their patients, providing the expert information patients need to make informed decisions about their prostate health,” said Tough.
Since 2000, the Centre has helped over 82,000 local men and families in their journey through prostate cancer treatment. “When we speak with our current and past patients, they continually express that the most important message they want to share is the importance of early detection,” said Kopp. “We often find men are reluctant to talk about their health and in particular about their sexual health,” she added. “Our goal is to make sure men and their families can have the frank discussions they need to have while they are younger and get tested when the opportunity presents itself.” To find out more about the programs and services offered by Island Prostate Centre or make a donation, visit: islandprostatecentre.com.

Seniors Seniors Safety Week focuses on the 747,000 Canadians living with dementia
Living safely with dementia October has been a busy month at the Seniors Office at the Ladysmith Resources Centre. We would especially like to thank Dave and Caroline Milne, owners of the Tim Hortons here in Ladysmith, for sponsoring our Bus trip to Tofino Oct. 23. We all had a wonderful time, and were very lucky the weather was sunny and mild. Just a reminder to the seniors of the community, that we have two trips a year sponsored by Tim Hortons, and if you would like to be on our phone list please call Barb at 250-245-3079. The 55 Alive Mature Driving Course was changed to Nov. 9 and 10, 12:30 to 4 p.m. at the Ladysmith Resources Centre. Overcoming the effects of aging on driving skills, applying the basic rules of the road, and preventing collisions are among the topics stressed in the course. The emphasis is on keeping you a safe driver. To register call 250-245-3079. This course is offered though the Seniors Office by Roadmasters Safety Group Inc. at a cost of $95 per person. Everyone who takes the course will receive a certificate. On Tuesday, Nov. 17 there will be an information session from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at St. Mary’s Church Hall on Living Well and Leaving Well. The information from this session will help you to learn about what you, your spouse, children and executor need to know about wills. Kevin Holt is a dynamic speaker with a great sense of humour. I personally recommend this to everyone in the community. Please call Barb at 250-245-3079 to register. Coffee and refreshments will be offered at coffee break. Just a reminder to seniors that the Community Health Fair will be taking place Nov. 9 at the Frank Jamieson Community Centre Auditorium from 1 to 4 p.m. This is where the annual Flu Vaccine Clinic will take place. The Seniors Office is looking for volunteers to help with the 49th Phoners Program. This program has been assisting seniors with grocery shopping for at least 15 years. The volunteers take grocery orders over the phone from 9 a.m. to noon at the 49th Parallel Grocery Store, then shop for the groceries, which are delivered free of charge on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Volunteers can work both or just one of the days. You can drop in at the centre to fill in a volunteer application, or call Barb for further information about the program at 250-245-3079.

They will carry their own books and supplies with them so they will be able to start classes in the new school without undue delays on Monday. The youngsters will move by classes to avoid congestion and, on arrival, will be assigned to desks in the new classrooms. This week the Market Square teachers have been spending their offshift hours putting classroom supplies in place and generally getting the new rooms ready for their pupils. The opening of the new school will see the end of a swing which has been in effect since last spring when the old Annex School building was torn down to make room for the new building. This will mean that Monday morning all children will expect to be on the grounds and ready to start at nine o’clock.

Contact Lens Options For Patients Over 40
Many people who have worn glasses and contact lenses for much of their lives begin to struggle to see fine print up close after their 40th birthdays. Often they think they will have to give up contact lenses and settle for glasses full time. Others may have enjoyed perfect vision without correction until around age 40 and then begin to struggle to see Dr. Carla Clarke up close. They may not want to wear glasses full time. The condition of slowly losing near focusing ability with age is called presbyopia. This usually begins in the early-to-mid 40s and increases gradually into the 60s. In the past, visual correction was limited to corrective spectacles such as reading glasses, bifocals or progressives. Now there are many soft, comfortable, breathable and convenient contact lens options available for those not wanting to rely solely on glasses. Advances in contact lens technology over recent years have brought about specially designed soft contact lenses that provide vision at distance and near. These are called multifocal contact lenses. Unlike progressive or bifocal spectacle lenses with distance at the top of the lens and reading at the bottom, most multifocal contact lenses are designed with concentric rings of distance and near vision throughout the contact lens. There may be some adaptation period but often patients enjoy good quality vision from the beginning. Due to the nature of multifocal contact lenses, patients may not have quite the same crisp vision that is provided by a good quality pair of progressive spectacle lenses but in most cases quite adequate vision can be obtained. Many patients see 20/20 at distance and near with multifocal contacts. Multifocal contact lenses can be very good for patients who simply dislike wearing glasses. Some patients enjoy wearing their multifocal contacts just for sports or special occasions. There are several excellent multifocal contacts lenses available as daily disposables. This is the healthiest, safest and most convenient way to wear contact lenses. A fresh lens is inserted each day and thrown out at the end of that day. There is no need to clean the contacts and there is less risk of infection. For those with astigmatism, a condition where the curves of the eye cause light to focus at different points, multifocal contacts may or may not work. Patients with low astigmatism can often be fit successfully with multifocal contacts. Those with more significant amounts of astigmatism still have several options. They can wear astigmatism-correcting contacts (toric lenses) with one eye corrected for distance and the other eye corrected for near. This is called monovision. The brain learns to adapt to which eye should be used for a given viewing task. Some patients really enjoy monovision and adapt right away. Others take longer to adjust. Some people cannot manage to adapt and may find the difference between the eyes makes them feel unbalanced. Monovision is also preferred by some people without astigmatism. Another contact lens option for those with higher astigmatism is to wear toric contact lenses for distance and use reading glasses over for close work. There is even one type of soft contact lens that corrects for both presbyopia and astigmatism. There are no multifocal coloured contact lenses available at this time but if you don’t have too much astigmatism and can adapt to monovision, you could wear coloured contacts. Another option if you just want the cosmetic effect is to wear non-prescription coloured contacts and still wear your prescription glasses. There are many options and your Optometrist can help you determine if you are a candidate for contact lenses and explore the best choice for your lifestyle.

INFORMATION
Linda Jane Neville 1945-2015 Linda Jane Neville, aged 69, passed away peacefully at home on October 20, 2015 in Nanaimo, B.C. Her family was at her side providing loving end of life care with tremendous support from her Iyengar Yoga community and the Vancouver Island Health Authority Homecare Nursing Services. Linda’s passing will be mourned by family, friends and artists all over the world. Her art will live on. Linda grew up in Ladysmith as the daughter of Dr. Jack Wilkes Neville and Gladys Mary Neville (Lindemere). She was a true Island girl, riding horses and painting from a young age. Having two professional painters for grandparents on her maternal side, Gladys and Richard Lindemere, meant the idea of becoming a professional artist was natural. Following high school, Linda left the small seaside town for the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, and then went on to the University of Washington in Seattle to complete a BA in Fine Arts. Returning to Canada to do teacher training at UBC, she met Vaughan Fraser Corbett (1946-2014) at a party. They married the next year, 1970. Upon finishing their studies, the newlyweds moved to London, England, coining it “the centre of the universe.” While in London, Linda completed her M.A. in Fine Arts at Middlesex Polytechnic. The couple quickly found a tribe of smart, fun, witty, welcoming friends and had their first child, Cleo, in 1978. Vaughan’s work as a transportation economist took them all over the globe and gave Linda the freedom and further inspiration to paint. They returned to Vancouver, B.C. in the early 80’s and immersed themselves in a circle of well-known social activists, musicians and artists. In 1988, their second daughter, Emma, was born. In 1991, the family relocated their home base to Nanaimo, B.C. Vaughan’s work allowed the family to continually travel, including long stints in Ethiopia, Algeria and Uganda, where Linda taught art at Makerere University in Kampala, often having to scrounge makeshift teaching supplies. Linda also taught for over 20 years with the Nanaimo Art Gallery Artists in the Schools program. One of many commissioned pieces, her portrait of Nanaimo Mayor Frank Ney hangs in the foyer at Nanaimo City Hall. Later in life, Linda found a passion for yoga. She trained in the Iyengar tradition of yoga, practicing daily, sharing her knowledge and inspiring others by teaching students, friends and family. Linda also had a profound fondness for the local Colliery Dam Park where she visited often. It featured prominently in many of her later paintings. Linda’s talent, intelligence, wit, good looks and vivacious courage to speak her truth dazzled those around her. The life Linda and Vaughan led was far from traditional and numerous people described them as a most glamorous and daring couple. She was a loving mother who made sure her daughters had access to a wide variety of opportunities, travel and the arts. Those wanting to know more about Linda, her art and her life, a documentary on Youtube under her name will be available in two weeks. Linda is survived by daughters Cleo and Emma Corbett, son-inlaw Jaret Nield, grandson Malcolm and another grandchild due in January 2016. She is also survived by sisters Rosamond and Paula Neville, numerous Lindemere, Day, Pease and Archer cousins across B.C., and the Corbett clan in-laws of Kingston and Presqu’île Point, Ontario, including her beloved mother-in-law Beatrice Corbett. In keeping with Linda’s style, a celebration of life will be held in Nanaimo on Sunday, November 8, 2015, including yoga sessions, an open house and a candlelight ceremony. For more information, please call 250-754-2704. In lieu of flowers, the family is accepting donations for a memorial picnic table to be placed in Colliery Dam Park.
