Douglas Blake is looking forward to taking a stroll with his wife, Joan, thanks to a new bionic leg that’s giving him more freedom and mobility. The Ladysmith couple
has been married for 56 years and Blake says it’s the simple things he is looking forward to. Even just a trip to the grocery store or the shopping mall together is a daily activity he can’t wait to experience again. The 79-year-old vet-

Walking much energy as some-
one without an amputation and because the prosthesis was also shorter than his other leg, he had an irregular walking pattern. “You can’t really walk with the stiff leg,” said Blake, jokingly referring to it as a newer version of a pirate’s peg leg.

Blake will soon have the freedom to walk where he chooses with a C-Leg Compact, manufactured by Otto Bock. The prosthesis incorporates microprocessor technology, sometimes referred to as bionic technology.

“People should always check to see who owns the property they decide to use, regardless of what they decide to do on the property; whether it’s bikes, ATV’s or simply walking.” The Ladysmith RCMP issued a press release on the incident August 26. “This is definitely a localized problem with some of our younger male youths and adults. As there have been acts of mischief and vandalism at the location, the detachment is seeking assistance in identifying the possible culprit(s),” wrote Staff Sgt. Roger Plamondon. “All of us need to work co-operatively to overcome the problems.” Cpl. Tim Desaulniers said the mischief is a criminal offense and they are currently investigating. “We haven’t taken enforcement on motorcycles on the Hydro line, that’s been our past practice. Whether or not that’s going to change because of these circumstances, that’s something we’re going to have to look at.”
Ladysmith firefighters were called to the Ladysmith Marina after smoke was seen coming from a boat.
Boat fire contained Matthew Peterson THE CHRONICLE
The Ladysmith Fire Department was called to another boat fire on Monday, August 21. A boat, at the Ladysmith Marina, was smoking and the crews were called to the scene along with the auxiliary coast guard. The fire was likely caused by an electrical short circuit on board, said Fire Chief Ray Delcourt. “We’ve had lots of boat fires,” said Delcourt, noting the three so far this year. “We are getting experience on how to handle them.”
Delcourt said they try distance between the not to use too much gangway to some of water and sink the boat, the docks can be cumso often a fire-suppress- bersome. ing foam is used to allow “ We k n o w e x a c t l y firefighters to get at the when the first crew heart of the blaze. comes down, what “Sometimes you can’t they are going to be get in these vessels until taking out to the dock. you knock down the fire What kind of equipment, a little ... because of fuel what kind of tools that tanks.” go straight out to the The fire department finger.” also has a device that is It was fortunate this able to punch through a fire happened in the hull to get at a fire, if it middle of the day, said is in an unsafe location Delcourt, as it was out for the fire crews. before it could breach That devise was not the hull and spread to needed for this fire, he other boats. said. “That fire, if it was at 2 Delcourt said they a.m., would have been preplan the docks for a lot worse.

“We’ll be ready either way,” said Routley. Ladysmith Chamber of Commerce President Rob Waters said the B.C. Chamber has always been in support of the HST and noted Ladysmith businesses will be affected differently by the trashing of the tax. For the Ladysmith Marina, Waters said it will mean a seven per cent reduction in moorage costs. For other businesses, he noted, readjusting to the old tax system will be hard.
“From that point of view it is certainly going to be a hardship on some of the businesses to go back to the two-tax system.” However, Waters can see many in the restaurant and tourism business greeting the news warmly. “It certainly had an impact on the food and tourism industry for sure.” The B.C.

After much thought and consideration, Coun. Duck Paterson has decided to run again for a spot around the council table. Paterson said his reasons for re-running are similar to the other declared incumbents — councillors Steve Arnett and Jill Dashwood and Mayor Rob Hutchins — and there are a number of initiatives he would like to continue working on. Two of those being protection of the watersheds and waterfront development. “I’m not even too sure if it’s going to get done in the next term,” said Paterson about the time needed to find the best scenarios for the waterfront. Water issues aside, Paterson also wants to see the town con-
tinue furthering its relationships with the Stz’uminus First Nation. “We’ve got a good relationship with our neighbours and I want to see us get more involved together — not just on development, but on community and being neighbours.” And, at the core of his political drive, is pride in his community. Talking to other people outside the community, Paterson hears how most people hold Ladysmith in high regard. “I want to help be part of a team that keeps Ladysmith going in the right direction. I think Ladysmith is a funky little place and I enjoy being a part of it.” “Ladysmith has been good to me and my family and I get a kick out of it.” But every peak has a

Friesenhan said the engineers ballparked the replacement at around $40,000 for a similar structure. “Last year when the engineer looked at it, we thought we could do it for around half that,” said Friesenhan, noting the cost will go up or down depending on how elaborate the design for the replacement. Friesenhan said since they are delayed, they will put together some different plans and designs for council to review and prepare. The time needed to replace the bridge will also depend on the design, but Friesenhan said it should take about a week. The town has ordered signs to tell people of the limit and crews are currently performing some repairs. — Matthew Peterson

Chronicle
K, we all get lost sometimes. And not like a young, adolescent, blowing-in-the-wind-type lost. We’re talking the don’t know where you are or how to get back, or which way is up, kind of lost. The kind of lost that fills you with shear bewilderment, fear and, for many, exhilaration. However, these days getting lost is becoming less and less of an excuse. There are few places we have not tread, mapped and co-ordinated. There are handheld GPS units, and dozens of mapping websites that should make it easier than ever to plan your trip. But it still happens to all of us. However, news that the coast guard auxiliary were called out twice in two days is troubling. Both cases could have been prevented with proper planning and equipment. In one of the cases, three boats and a helicopter were dispatched to locate two kayakers who had made it halfway and still had not turned back when they were finally located. It’s a lot of stress and panic and money for a false alarm, but the assurance is priceless. Even one real call where someone is in danger is enough to justify some false alarms. However, should there be a price to be paid by people who end up triggering this essential service because of some poor planning and preparation? This is a question that encompasses not only kayakers, but hikers, bikers, anyone heading to a place that requires certain equipment and training, without it. Many people are divided in the issue. Some taxpayers may point out they don’t like picking up the tab just because of someone else’s mistakes. Others argue threatening people with a pricey bill may discourage people from calling or using the service even when it is really needed. So if it is not a monetary fine, should there be some other sort of penalty — some type of volunteer time maybe? Email editor@ladysmithchronicle.com and let us know.

YOUR WORDS “They are destroying private property and nobody cares.” Ron Vanderplas, Page 3
‘People’s victory’ means pain ahead BC Views by Tom Fletcher VICTORIA – NDP leader Adrian Dix couldn’t contain his glee at the result of the harmonized sales tax referendum. He seemed positively giddy that the provincial budget will forgo $3 billion in revenue over the next few years, and clearly relishes the prospect of getting back to the legislature in October to resume his demands for more spending in every ministry of the B.C. government. He can start soon, standing in passionate solidarity with B.C.’s 40,000 public school teachers as they strike to press their demands for huge increases in salary and benefits that already exceed what most private sector workers will ever see. Bill Vander Zalm was thrilled too, beaming
that famous smile as he climbed in his long black Mercedes to resume his comfortable retirement. He never expected to be able to leave the province in a mess one more time, but fate has been kind to him. He probably still believes he has helped the poor, as he claimed in his nonsensical rants against the HST. This is the “people’s victory” that Dix crowed about. B.C. and the rest of the country are entering a perilous time where retired people outnumber the young and pension plans, private and public, grow increasingly fragile. And in classic babyboomer style, our political response is self-centred and unrealistic. An efficient tax system that ends the advantage given to services over goods, while raising revenue to lift up the poorest people, is now a dirty word. Any kind of meaningful tax reform will be politically radioactive for years to come. Resource industries, the movie business and other private sector job generators can now plan for a significant B.C. disadvantage in 2013. Ontario can celebrate. Meanwhile, demand

for government services to take care of the great grey blob that is my generation can only soar. It’s not just old people outnumbering the young. I mentioned a while back that Canada has already passed another significant milestone. Statistics Canada reported in May on the people fortunate enough to have employer-supported pension plans in addition to government pension. And it turns out that 2010 was the first year in the country’s history where more public sector workers enjoyed this benefit than private sector workers. Author Mark Steyn talks about this problem in relation to the troubles in Europe. He refers to the “Government Party,” which is the ever-growing public sector, and the “Dependency Party,” which is everyone on pensions and welfare. When those two “parties” constitute a majority, they can force the government to satisfy their demands without regard to economic reality. This is what has happened in Greece. It is very close to happening in other European countries, and
today B.C. is a step closer to it. When the verdict came in on the HST referendum, Finance Minister Kevin Falcon talked about going around to consult the public on how to reinstate the provincial sales tax. He vowed that B.C. will somehow still balance its budget in two years, and seemed to leave the door open to some minor modifications of the sales tax system. Premier Christy Clark quickly shut that door. It would be “disrespectful” to do anything other than bring back the post-war PST in all its rustic beauty, with the little boutique exemptions like bicycles and Toyota Priuses that have been attached by politicians over the years. Self-employed business people can now look forward to collecting and remitting two separate taxes again. There will be a cost to this “people’s victory.” It will involve reducing public services, raising taxes or both. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press newspapers.

Not smart meters
Your View
Editor: To my knowledge there has been no real evidence that these new smart meters proposed by BC Hydro have any real benefit to the consumer whatsoever. In addition, there is plenty of anecdotal evidence that, being essentially radios that can be turned on and off at somebody’s whim, they are adversely affecting the health of homeowners who often have them attached to their house outside their bedroom. A test reported on the Internet that the reliable old-style meters and these new smart meters (with only a 10-year lifespan) were tested with identical home consumption loads and the smart meters used more electricity. So no saving there. This could be because the smart meter, being a radio, with spying-on-us potential, is using power to power itself and we, the customer are paying for this. Anyone who wishes to track their consumption can easily do this by noting the identifying tag on the electrical device for its maximum electrical use when working. Another cheap way is to purchase a cheap device called ‘KILL A WATT’ which is an electrical usage monitor. Mine measures eight critical units of measurement. One example: I plugged it into a wall socket and then plugged the toaster into it. Results? The voltage dropped from 120 to 118 and the wattage recorded 1480. Let us follow some U.S. states and European countries and abolish this potentially harmful, stupid smart meter idea completely. Keith Wyndlow Ladysmith

Celebrating transfiguration Almost universally, on August 6, the church has observed an extraordinarily important event in the life of Jesus Christ – the Transfiguration. The fact that it has been observed on that date has nothing whatsoever to do with the event itself, but rather a somewhat strange decision of Pope Callistus III in 1456 to do so celebrating a military victory of Christians over the Ottoman Turks at Belgrade — not exactly a good Christian reason! Based on the Gospel accounts, the timing is likely much closer to Easter, which is why the Transfiguration is more appropriately observed before Easter. More important than the ‘when’ of it is the meaning of it.

Upon close reading of the gospel accounts of the event (Matthew 17: 1 – 9, Mark 9: 2 – 9 and Luke 9: 28 - 36), we discover a number of things: Jesus was very deliberate in what He was doing and chose to have His closest friends with Him — Peter, James and John — as He did on important occasions. Jesus was not doing this, or allowing this to happen, for His own benefit. What happened was for the benefit of His friends who were entrusted with the expe-

amputees could avoid falls that require hospitalization and perhaps even surgery, said Saufferer. Falls can be more common with the straight leg because of its inflexibility. The C-Leg technology isn’t covered by B.C. PharmaCare and Blake is getting help from the Royal Canadian Legion to cover some of the costs for the leg. Blake tried the test unit for the past four weeks and was fitted with his new C-Leg Compact Friday. He’ll undergo physiotherapy with Saufferer for the next four weeks to learn how to walk with the C-leg, because he’s used to overcompensating with his old prosthetic. Saufferer will also make adjustments to the leg to optimize Blake’s gait.

Doug Routley, MLA The cast of The Hollow rehearse. Pictured: Inge Cathers, Gordon McInnis, Tabi Jasper and Rob Smith.
The Hollow packed full of great characters Matthew Peterson THE CHRONICLE
The Ladysmith Little Theatre is opening the season with some r o m a n c e , h u m o u r, intrigue and a murder. Mort Paul is, for the third year, kicking off the 2011-2012 playbill with an Agatha Christie gem, The Hollow. The Hollow is an interesting Christie play to be tackling, said Paul, as it really focusses on problems of the heart — romantic, mysterious and always interesting. “It’s a good play. It’s a fun dramatic piece,” said Paul. “It’s not just the mystery that will pull you in, but also the clash of the characters.” In the play, Dr. John Christow, played by Rob Smith, is surrounded by four women, all with reason to kill him. “But they may also all be in love with him,” said Paul. While The Hollow marks the third Christie play he has directed, Paul said each one presents its own challenges. Plus this is not his first round with The Hollow. The former drama teacher once did the production with a school class and jumped at the chance to do it again with a more mature cast. “I think everyone suits their characters very nicely.” As the opening night of September 15 approaches, there is
Quoted in the Chronicle
“It’s not just the mystery that will pull you in. It’s also the clash of the characters.” Mort Paul, director still much to do. “ T h e r e ’s a m i l l i o n things to do in the next three weeks to the opening,” said
Paul, noting his volunteers are juggling many different tasks as the opening night draws closer.
The play being set in 1948 presents some challenges as producers must find props and costumes true to the time period. The large cast of 12 has also created some challenges as everyone has been taking their vacations. “But it’s coming along, they’re getting into their characters.”

CHRONICLE
There was definitely a flair of arts in the air on First Avenue Sunday, where dozens of jewelers, painters, wood carvers, wool spinners and other artists convened for the 13th annual Arts on the Avenue. The scores of visitors who roamed through the tents were treated to a visual feast of colour and creativity, and could choose between hundreds of pieces of handcrafted treasures, from stone mugs to origami cards to life-sized paintings. Ladysmith resident Jack Fisher’s wood carved avian art has been a regular at Arts on the Avenue since its inception. “It seems to get better each year, I would say, certainly bigger,” he said of the festival. Fisher’s hand-painted, life-size birds are Above, resident Jack Fisher shares one of his creations, a falcon carving, with North California resident Terry Lynnes, who world famous and have sold to collectors houses her boat here in Ladysmith.

Cecile Von Woensel, of Nanaimo, has sold her realistic natural art at Arts on the Avenue for the last two years. “It’s a great event, it’s in summer, so the chance that people are getting out enjoying the weather, enjoying the arts, is big,” she said. “The organization is really good.” Woensel, who immigrated to the Island from Holland a few years ago, said the move was right for her artistic career. “I think there is much more variety in trees, so that gets more intense for me to experience that,” she said.

McNab’s Corn Maze in Yellow Point shakes off early challenges as stocks reach some great heights Matthew Peterson THE CHRONICLE
Despite battling a cold and wet spring and summer, floods, and the never-ending annoyance of ravens, the corn crop is still a-maze-ing. Stretching in some places close to three metres tall already and so thick you can barely see a few feet off the trail, it is easy to see how someone can get lost in McNab’s Corn Maze. But, Murray McNab insists, everyone finds their way out of this maize maze, eventually. “I’ve never found any bones here in the springtime, so everyone gets out,” joked McNab. The corn maze started its tenth year of operation on Friday, Aug. 26 — a little later than usual thanks to the weather. Picking a new theme every year, maze master McNab went back to their roots and are doing an alien/crop circles theme this year — first done in their inaugural year. “Because it’s the tenth year, the aliens are back with some more crop circles,” McNab said. Past themes have included a Mayan temple and the space shuttle (still visible when looking at the property
on Google). Spread over seven acres off Yellow Point Road (4659 Yellow Point Rd.), just off the Chuckwagon Market interchange, the farm also boasts a pumpkin patch, other vegetables, a petting zoo and hay rides. While the maze is open from August to the end of October, planning for the maze starts earlier in the year. Just after the corn was planted the 100acre farm was pelted by weeks of rain, flooding fields and part of the cabbage patch. “The spring hasn’t been great, but the corn has turned out spectacular as far as height. It is going to be one of the better years for that,” said McNab, pulling weeds from between the stocks. By the time the maze is closed, many of the stocks will reach almost four metres, he boasted. Once the corn is ready and the maze plan is in place and plotted from Murray McNab stands high above his seven-acre maze in Yellow Point.

pany looking to run the Connector, said the petition is necessary to strengthen their licensing application. “Where we’re facing our ultimate challenge is with the government,” he said. “We need to show a valid public urgent need... the government doesn’t just want to overrun the province with private transport companies.” The service, which was announced in early August, will provide transit from Ladysmith to Nanaimo and Duncan and points in between via a seven passenger,
wheelchair-accessible bus. Service is still scheduled to begin September 15. Jordan held a community meeting about the Connector on August 15. “We didn’t have a lot of people show up but the ones that did made some very good points,” he said. “They are really concerned about the environmental impact and that’s something we’re continuing to work on.” The company is also looking into the possibility of providing service to Chemainus.
As the projected start date for service rolls closer, Jordan said he would like to continue to hear more local ideas and opinions for an efficient service. “We’ve had nothing but support from those people that come out and those people who send me email upon email,” Jordan said. “We haven’t encountered anybody that has said no to this.” The petition is available for signature at the Ladysmith Chamber of Commerce. Letters of support can also be sent to lc@efas. ca

The staff at the Town of Ladysmith have appointed a threeperson committee to review the pay scale for members of council. The remuneration committee will be made up of Peter Richmond, Rollie Rose and Niomi Pearson. According to a staff report, Ladysmith councillors are paid $9,466 per year while the mayor receives $20,677, with a population of 7,538. Gibsons’ mayor pulls in about 28,372 per year and councillors receive $13,143 per year, although the population is about 4,182. Sechelt, with a population of 8,454, pays its mayor 36,028 a year and its councillors $18,019. The township last con-
ducted a full review of council remuneration in 2004. Based on that report, council passed a motion to give council members a two per cent remuneration increase per year for the next three years and that another review be undertaken at that time. A review in 2008 resulted in an increase to travel expenses for private vehicle use, but no change in remuneration and the pay scale has remained unchanged since that time. Tell us what you think.

Art sales to aid Somalians Bayview Framing and Art is hosting a special event to raise funds for famine relief in Somalia. Vancouver Island artist Theo Dombrowski will donate 100 per cent of the profits from his paintings sold during this event to the Red Cross. “In addition, every penny I can send to the Red Cross before September 16 will be matched by the federal government, so purchas-
ers’ dollars will go twice as far in Somalia.” Dombrowski points out another feature of this exhibit. “Anyone buying any of the original works in this series will take home a painting familiar to thousands of Islanders.” Why? These paintings appear in several bestselling books written and illustrated by Dombrowski. Heritage House has published three titles in the
Secret Beaches series and will soon publish a fourth. These books guide readers to the little known beaches of Vancouver Island and, in the next volume, the southern Gulf Islands. Dombrowski’s paintings and photographs illustrate each of the books. The Secret Beaches books are available at Salamander Books on First Avenue. Dombrowski, a talented and versatile
painter, is more excited to Doctors Without about using his skills to Borders and the Georgia aid those suffering in Strait Alliance.

School slowed by material delays Matthew Peterson THE CHRONICLE
Access to materials and equipment have slowed the opening of the new secondary school in the Stz’uminus First Nation on Shell Beach Road. Chris Erb, with SupErb Construction, said they are shooting to have the school complete for November 1. While there is still work to be done around the new $7.6 million, 35,000 sq-ft. school, waiting has been the hardest part. “The biggest things were waiting for equipment coming from different manufacturers,” said Erb while visiting the site. One example is the A look inside the new school being built on the Stz’uminus First Nation next to the community centre.

Pledge forms are now available for the 25th annual Terry Fox Run in Ladysmith on September 18. Ryelee Simard, Alden Thom, Alexandra Fernau, Tyler Donovan and Mariah Jones show their support for Terry Fox with some 2011 shirts and pledge forms.
Terry Fox run celebrates 25 years in Ladysmith Niomi Pearson THE CHRONICLE
Resident Irwin Tollefson remembers the pride he felt watching Terry Fox run across Canada on his prosthetic leg in 1980. “It was one those things that every day we had to turn the news on and just watch and see how far he had gotten and how he was doing,” Tollefson said. Tollefson is one of thousands of Canadians who, every year, help carry Terry’s torch through the Terry Fox Run. Tollefson has participated in the Ladysmith Terry Fox Run since it started in 1986, though it began nationally in 1981 after Fox passed away. “It’s all about having
fun and getting out and enjoying yourself and just being there. And it doesn’t matter your skill level,” he said. “The cause is phenomenal, and having lost people, family members to cancer, it’s always been something that I’ve paid attention to.” The 25th annual Terry Fox Run takes place September 18 at the Frank Jameson Community Centre. According to run coordinator Anita McLeod, last year’s run raised just under $2,700 and saw 118 participants. “The run has taken on an iconic significance across the country because it’s an annual event that brings the world together,” McLeod said. “It’s about

Football season kicks-off Niomi Pearson THE CHRONICLE
The Ladysmith Steelers Pee Wee tackle football season kicks off its third season this Saturday, Sept. 3, with a league exhibition jamboree at Forrest Field. “It’s an exciting time for us,” said head coach and CEO Demetreous Bourodemos. “This is an exciting, growing sport on the Island in the last decade, and we’re going at it on the grassroots level.” The jamboree will run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The five participating teams, from Ladysmith, Nanaimo (x2), Parksville and Campbell River, will play a few rounds of 25-minute mini games.
“Every team gets to play each other at least once,” Bourodemos said. The Pee Wee Steelers are part of the Cooperative Football League, and welcome anyone ages 8-11. The Jr. Bantam league, made up of 12-13 year olds begins the season with their first game on September 17. “Yesterday we had our first practice, we saw a lot of red rosey cheeks that were sweaty, and that’s a good thing after a summer vacation of not being active,” Bourodemos said. Bourodemos said there are more than 20 kids registered but it is still not too late for more to sign up for the season. Practices
