News Kate Evans of HB Lanarc, left, goes over the draft of the Chemainus Revitalization plan with residents Kate Marsh and Sarah Mais September 22 at an open house meeting held at the Chemainus Legion Hall. NIOMI PEARSON/ CHRONICLE

Firm community vision pushed for Chemainus Niomi Pearson THE CHRONICLE

If there was one message to be had at Sept. 22’s town revitalization meeting in Chemainus, it’s that residents need to come together and decide on a concrete vision for their community before breaking any ground. It was standing room only for the scores of residents who came out to the Legion Hall to get a first look at the draft revitalization plan for Chemainus Town Centre, which includes key projects such as a skate park, community centre, a library and a boardwalk network starting at the foot of Oak Street. “What we’re trying to do is get to the point where we are in agreement, and then the municipality can come and make strategic investments in infrastructure,” said Dave Devana, CAO of the Municipality of North Cowichan. “Until we feel that Chemainus wants these things and where they want them, it’s hard for us as a municipality to make the investment and it’s not wise to make piecemeal investments

in little things without an overall vision.” “The money is there for the skate park, and trail development and community centre and library and all these things, we just need to know where they gotta go.” The revitalization plan is the document which will guide that overall vision and has been compiled by the Chemainus Advisory Committee and staff at HB Lanarc, the consulting firm overseeing the process, based on feedback received from residents at an open house held in June. During the meeting, Doug Backhouse, of HB Lanarc, presented the draft plan via powerpoint presentation. Attendees were asked to consider things like whether they would like to see a two-way road along Willow Street, if they would like to see a pedestrian right-of-way zone implemented, and where they would like to see key infrastructure placed. “ T h e r e ’s a w h o l e bunch of ideas now t h a t w e r e n ’t t h e r e the last time around,” Backhouse said. The plan offers four potential locations for

the much anticipated skate park; the old elementary school, the high school sport court, Croft street, and Elm Street Fields. Potential locations cited for a community centre include the old fire hall and St. Joseph’s school. The meeting was attended by residents of all ages, with a good representation of local youth as well. Ian Marsh said he liked the idea of creating a local hub at the old Chemainus Elementary site, where all of the elements, including a skate park, library and community centre, could have a home. Philip Mix commented that he would like to see Chemainus linked together with elegant street design and favoured the plan’s suggestion of a treed median along Chemainus Road. “Many things are changing in the world, but one thing that doesn’t change is that people like to go to a place that looks beautiful, and they like to be in a place where they feel welcome,” he said. “I would really like

to see how the benchlands could start to be an extension of the centre... and a continuation of Willow Street being a pedestrian friendly place along that way. Everything changes when you start to make things pedestrian friendly but still accessible.” Resident Allen Shernus said he would like to see the municipality get the ball rolling. “It seems to me if you wait for unanimity, nothing’s ever going to happen,” he said. “Maybe what we need is some strong political leadership that will take a plan such as this, take the community input, realize that there’s going to be dissenting voices out there, but move forward with something that has the total community interest in mind.” The draft plan and feedback form is accessible at www.ourchemainus.ca. Residents are encouraged to view the plan and fill out a feedback form and return it to the Municipality of North Cowichan office, or the Chemainus Chamber of Commerce, by September 30.

Telehealth eyed for Ladysmith Local initiative looking to raise $25,000 to install new medical conferencing room for patients Matthew Peterson THE CHRONICLE

Susan McAdam knows all too well the toll travelling can take on a person. The Ladysmith resident had to drive her 85-year-old mother to and from appointments in Victoria and Nanaimo on a regular basis. “It was really hard on her. Even taking her to Nanaimo was sometimes hard. Thankfully we never got caught in a car accident.” McAdam first read about Telehealth last May and soon saw how the revolutionary technology and process could fit in Ladysmith. Telehealth uses live, secure, teleconferencing using a computer screen and special equipment and is able to bridge the gap between specialists and far away patients. “I thought, ‘Why don’t we have this here?’” said McAdam. Moved by the cost and stress of medical travel — McAdam found out a taxi to Nanaimo costs $100 — she started doing some digging of her own. McAdam was put in touch with Margarita L o y o l a , Te l e h e a l t h manager for Vancouver Island Health Authority, who answered all McAdam’s questions. There is space at the health centre and McAdam is now helping mobilize support and financing for the equipment. She estimates the community needs to raise around $25,000 for some of the equipment and renovations to a room at the health centre, includ-

ing sound-proofing. Education, she said, is key as McAdam noted many people in Ladysmith were not aware of the Telehealth procedure. McAdam has since been talking to the Hospital Auxiliary, chamber of commerce and others to raise awareness. “This is a whole new level of access in the health-care system,” said McAdam. “Look at the doors this will open to specialists all over.” Loyola said the benefits of Telehealth are obvious and the service is catching on, with 23 sites currently operational. The technology not only reduces the toll on doctors or patients forced to travel, but is also better for the environment and allows patients to have their support system (family or friends) with them or close by during the check-up. Telehealth also has benefits for doctors working in isolated communities, said Loyola, as the technology helps them better connect and consult with colleagues and attend conferences. “The main objective of Telehealth is to improve access to specialist services,” said Loyola, adding there are expansion plans in the works. “There is less disruption from your daily activities and work.” A Telehealth appointment can go far beyond simply talking to a doctor across a monitor. Special peripherals, including stethoscopes, ears, nose and throat scope and medical cameras, allow the doctor to interact with the patient

as if they are standing right in the room. VIHA will help pitch in with some equipment, including the peripherals, and other in-kind support amounting to between $10,000 and $13,000. For Ladysmith, Loyola is confident that the staff at the health centre will be able to handle the extra Telehealth responsibilities and they may even look at using volunteers to help meet and greet patients. Specialist billing for Telehealth is competitive to in-person visits, Loyola noted, and an expanded billing code for family physicians is currently being examined. “It does not hinder a physician financially.” Currently family physicians can only bill if they sit in on a Telehealth consultation with a patient and specialist. For McAdam, she is hoping having Telehealth here will better ensure people make and keep their appointments. “There are seniors in this town that don’t have family, they don’t drive, they don’t have a partner that drives and $100 is a lot of money,” said McAdam. Even those with family locally may be reluctant to ask a loved one to take the time to drive into Victoria or Nanaimo for an appointment. “They are more likely to ask if it’s only going to take a half hour/hour out of their time.” McAdam is still talking with service groups and trying to find ways to fundraise to make sure money raised stays in Ladysmith.

Sidewalks are for pedestrians There were a total of 72 calls for service over this period of time. To date, 3,027 incidents have been reported (3,201 for the same period in 2010). As school has started, people are seeing quite a few more bikes on the road in the community. In turn, RCMP have received a few calls asking for a reminder that ‘Sidewalks are for Pedestrians’. Pedestrians use sidewalks to travel safely along our local streets. When cyclists, in-line skaters and scooters are also involved, conflicts arise that could be prevented. The Town of Ladysmith has a bylaw that riding a bicycle on sidewalks is prohibited. There are many hazards involved when cycling on the sidewalks. If a cyclist hits a pedestrian, the injuries can be severe. Seniors are especially vulnerable and can fall merely by being startled (this occurred last year resulting in a fracture). Many cyclists ride on the sidewalk because they are afraid of cars. But choosing to ride on the sidewalk does not eliminate the risk of a car-and-bike collision. Cycling on the sidewalk is a contributing factor in 30 per cent of car and bike collisions. Collisions occur when cyclists ride

Phase 2 discussion to come from Page 1 Council will carry out further consultation and planning before implementing many bylaws regarding secondary ‘detached’ suites. A timeline for that process has not been set. Last Monday’s public hearing was attended

by about 10 residents, who asked technical questions such as minimum size requirements for suites and whether the homeowner is required to reside in the home. During discussions, Councillor Steve Arnett stressed that the management of existing in-home suites will be

taken seriously. Dashwood said she hopes to see public input and participation in future discussions. “I know a lot of people are waiting to hear about the coach house and garden suites,” she said. “That’s going to be a huge component for a lot of people.”

Kinsmen executive named On September 25, the Ladysmith Kinsmen Club held their 59th Annual Installation of Officers. A special event was held at the Kinsmen Hall with Kinsmen from around the area as well as special guests and Kin wives. Also attending was a special entertainer, “Elvis”, made an appearance and entertained the crowd with a whole array of his songs. Outgoing (and incoming) President Rod Saunders, thanked the members for their hard work this past Kin year. It was a great year for the Ladysmith Kin as they held three very successful fundraisers for the new playground at Kin Park/Brown Drive. That project has been way more successful than what the members had anticipated for the year. It was a goal to try and have Phase 1 built and hopefully most of the fundraising for Phase

Also the Ladysmith Kinsmen have almost completed the outdoor ball hockey arena with the Stz’uminus Youth Ball Hockey team.

Kinsmen voted Kin Duck Paterson as the “Kinsmen of the Year” award for his hours of work to raise funds not just to build the Kin Playground but his other efforts in many Kin projects as well as the ideals of Kin and fellowship. Paterson thanked the members for the honour but stated that it takes more than one person to make all this happen and is proud to be just one member of the Kinsmen team. Paterson has been a member of the Ladysmith Club for 36 years. The Ladysmith Kinsmen meet, at the Festival of Lights building, on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month and would welcome any men interested in working and helping in their community.

our de Rock is a huge gesture. It shows a great deal of sacrifice and commitment from the riders and support team as they navigate the Island spreading awareness and hope. In the end it is not only the money they raise — which is still substantial, with Ladysmith alone raising usually $40,000 a year — it’s about the common uniting bind these riders represent. They are able to take a disease that is so vast, so faceless and affects so many and turn it into event that gives us the chance to feel like we are making a difference. As you read this, they are on the way — with local resident and Black Press reporter/photographer Chris Bush among them. The adventurous riders left the north Island on Saturday and have been working their way down the coast stopping in towns for celebrations and information sessions as they go. Be sure to check out www.ladysmithchronicle.com and click on our Tour de Rock section to keep up to date. Chris is also Tweeting and posting on his Facebook page from the road. They will be in Ladysmith and Chemainus on Monday Oct. 3 and Tuesday Oct. 4 (see page 16 for more information). The riders will be pulling over at the Tim Hortons around 2 p.m. on Oct. 3. around 2 p.m. before being given a hero’s parade up First Avenue towards the Ladysmith and District Credit Union where there will be a ceremony including a fundraising head shave. Whether you want to donate, or get your head shaved, make sure you are there to show your support. The more people lining the streets can prove to be a huge boost for the riders. It may seem small, but it, too, is a huge gesture.

ICTORIA – Premier Christy Clark’s “B.C. Jobs Plan” took some hits as she was finishing her week-long publicity tour to roll it out. The serious damage wasn’t from her political opponents on the left and right. The body blows came from Europe, the United States and China, where the storm clouds of a second recession continued to gather. As world leaders offered up a chorus of warning about debt and falling consumer demand, commodity markets for metals, coal and petroleum tumbled along with stocks. One of the few firm targets Clark offered was that eight new mines should be up and running in B.C. by 2015, with expansions or upgrades to nine more existing mines. That is the total arrived

at after detailed meetings with the industry. But if China’s factories slow down because fewer Americans and Europeans buy their goods, those projects can fade as quickly as the price of copper. Total provincial spending for the B.C. jobs plan comes out around $300 million. The big-ticket items were contributions to port and rail facilities at Prince Rupert and Tsawwassen. Another $24 million goes to staff up natural resource permit offices, which are backlogged after amalgamation of various ministry functions. NDP leader Adrian Dix leapt on that announcement, saying it proves that the B.C. Liberals starved the regional offices. He’s right on that. For example, the resource ministry’s regional director for Skeena told the BulkleyNechako regional district board this spring that he has 30 per cent less staff than five years ago. Some of that is a result of ending duplication of forest, energy and other ministries, but by this spring there were 65 independent power projects waiting for approval in

Skeena alone. Of course the NDP would fix that backlog by killing off the projects, and presumably break up the natural resources ministry again, to ramp up their beloved government jobs. The NDP also jumped on B.C. Liberal MLA John Les for going to high-unemployment Nanaimo and suggesting people should look north where jobs are going begging. Construction company Ledcor had job fairs in Prince George and Chetwynd in early September, looking for hundreds of truck drivers, heavy equipment operators, drillers, blasters, mechanics, surveyors and labourers for the Willow Creek coal mine in Tumbler Ridge. Another job fair was held in Fort St. James around the same time, looking for equipment operators for the Mount Milligan copper-gold mine. I had a chat a couple of weeks ago with a grader operator in Dawson Creek, working in the gas patch. Most of the pickups he sees on job sites have Alberta licence plates. So let’s say you’re an ablebodied unemployed guy sitting in Nanaimo, waiting

for a job to come to you. If that’s how you think the economy works, it’s no surprise if your preferred political message is Dix’s 1960s socialist blather about the government forcibly sharing the wealth. And it’s no surprise that you’re unemployed. B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins trashed the Prince Rupert port announcement as a payoff to local aboriginal people for a potash facility. “The usual Liberal policy of giving natives a veto on new projects has got to end,” Cummins said, demonstrating once again that he understands nothing about the evolution of this issue in the past 20 years. In summary, Clark’s jobs plan is to continue Gordon Campbell’s Pacific gateway strategy. The opposition parties are reheating decadesold failed options they hope will smell better than a stale three-term government. And B.C. is, as always, at the mercy of world events.

Commercial a must

Your View

Editor: I am writing to reply to Tom McCann’s letter to the Editor in September 20, 2011 edition of the Chronicle and his discussion regarding my support (town council) of business development in residential areas. This is both an Official Community Plan (OCP) and sustainability discussion. Reflecting back to the town’s Visioning process, where the community was invited to spend several weekends etc. discussing the future look and feel of our wonderful community and how it would look like. The outcome of that collaborative process formed what is now the town’s Visioning Document. As councillors, we look to that document when we are making decisions that reflect on both the current and future look of our community. The conversation for a family friendly community, with bike lanes, connecting pathways and parks came through loud and clear. We want a safe community for all people, whether young, senior or in-between. By creating a conversation for small commercial areas in future developments, developers are able to work with the planning department on where such a venture would best be suited. This will give areas an opportunity to put, say a small corner store/hairdresser/coffee shop in an area that would not detract from the development, but would give people an opportunity to feel safe in walking to a store. Such a venture could possibly be closest to the highest density aka townhouses etc in the neighbourhood. Having small stores and coffeeshops, etc., would help to give a child the honour and responsibility to help Mom/Dad out and get a litre of milk in a safe environment; to allow all ages a place to gather/hear stories/know their neighbours; to create small communities within the larger realm. We are working to lessen green-

A handful of dedicated people are trying to curb the number of feral cats showing up along Esplanade Street in Chemainus. Chelsea Blackwell said she and Pamela Kelly, along with Little Rascals in Ladysmith, have been trapping and spaying and neutering the animals. So far they have caught and spayed one female and a litter of kittens. Homes have already been found for most of the kittens. One is still at Little Rascals in Ladysmith waiting for a home. The cats that couldn’t be tamed are re-released and fed. “A few of them had lots of kittens this summer,” said Blackwell. “Because there are so many, we need to raise some money to help Little Rascals. It is quite expensive.” It costs around $170 to spay or neuter a

Feral cats come out to feed in Chemainus. cat, however the vet in Chemainus is helping out as well with a discount. So it works out to around $136 per cat. There are around 10 cats to be caught. The group will be holding a hot dog sale on October 2 in front of the 49th Parallel Grocery in Chemainus from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. There is also an account set up at Junction Bottle Depot in Ladysmith. Donations can also be made at Little Rascals in Ladysmith. “We are just trying to get the money raised so we can get them all caught

and get it done before next spring when they all start having kittens.” Other groups are coming forward with the Old Town Bakery kicking in a few dozen cookies to be sold and the 49th is also donating some of the items for the hot dog sale. Angela Fredrickson at Little Rascals said they’ve been drawing from the local animal fund that accumulates to assist local cases. She said the problem with cats along Esplanade Street has been a problem for a number of years.

NIOMI PEARSON/CHRONICLE

The animal fund started by collecting donations from trimming pets nails and has ‘taken on a life of its own.’ In some cases, said Fredrickson, kids will actually ask for donations for birthday gifts and add it to the fund. “It’s kinda nice,” she said, noting the cost of spaying or neutering is going up, even with the discounts. “If someone brings us in a feral cat, we are looking at a hair under $200 to spay and release it. So it’s significant for an animal you are setting free.”

Garage sale money set for Africa Niomi Pearson THE CHRONICLE

T h i s N o v e m b e r, Marion Fahlborg will return to Pietermaritzburg, South Africa to pick up where she left off three years ago. The Chemainus resident is currently trying to raise more than $5,000 to help both the young and the disabled. Fahlborg said she is hoping to accomplish much with what we, in Canada, feel is so little. “People in Canada just don’t understand how lucky we are to live here,” she said. “The people [in Africa] are so wonderful, but there’s no middle ground. You have your absolutely poor and then the rich. The rich are totally blind to the poor.” “It’s difficult to come home because the first thing you want to do is get rid of all the things you have because you feel really greedy and possessive.” Fahlborg’s first trip to Africa took place in 2005, after being asked

if she would like to take a trip there at a Lay Witness Canada annual picnic. “The word ‘Africa’ had kept going through my mind and I didn’t know why,” she recalled. “I didn’t know what I was going to do there, I didn’t know where I was going to stay. I just knew that I had to do it.” While in Africa, Fahlborg partnered with Sheena Gaston of African Enterprise and helped establish Zanini Bantwana, a ministry for children in hospitals. “We worked primarily in the children’s wards where many of the children have no one, nothing and are palliative. Many are abandoned by their families and are left to die all alone,” she said. “Every morning we would go in and take these big hockey bags of toys into the kids and we’d sing and dance and play with the kids, and they were so happy because they never have visitors.” By the time she returned in 2008, Zanini Bantwana had grown to

“I’m not afraid, I really believe that this is what I’m supposed to do, and I’ll be safe as long as I’m careful,” she said. Fahlborg is looking for donations of clean, quality used items for a fundraising garage sale October 1 at the Marion Fahlborg in South Africa. Calvary Baptist Church from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. include three hospitals equipment.

Language skills put to the test Group from Ecole Davis Road School in Ladysmith are preparing for Quebec exchange Matthew Peterson THE CHRONICLE

A group of 23 students at Ecole Davis Road School are about to get a new lesson in immersion. Teacher Sean Walsh applied to SEVEC for, and was awarded, the chance to take a group of Grade 6 and 7 students to Sainte-Croix, Quebec, to learn more about French culture and put their language skills to the test. SEVEC is paying for the flights and accommodations in Quebec. “They tour us around Quebec and experience the different cultures

and get boarded by their families,” said Walsh. “They are totally immersed in the language.” The experience will bring a new level of education, said Walsh, and will give the students a better understanding of their own language skills. “One thing they’ll never experience in B.C. is full Au revoir! A class of Grade 6 and 7 students from Ecole Davis Road school are thrilled to have the chance to practice their French in immersion in French,” Quebec. They are also fundraising to bring a Quebec class to the Island next year.

Yellow Point approaches 1949 Yellow Point Drama Group presents 1949 by award-winning Canadian playwright David French. The show opening preview is Oct. 6 and runs until Oct. 22 at Cedar Community Hall. 1949 is part of Frenchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cycle of plays that follows the Mercer family of Newfoundland and their subsequent move to Toronto. Other plays in the cycle include Canadian classics Leaving Home and Of The Fields Lately. In 1949, Newfoundland is on the verge of joining Confederation on April Foolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day of 1949.

The family is divided by the prospect of their home province losing its independence, while at the same time struggling through their own personal issues with humour, poignancy and passion. 1949 runs Oct. 6,7,8,14,15,21,22. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 youth and on the preview night. Doors open 7 p.m., show at 8 p.m. The dinner theatre takes place Saturday, Oct. 15 and tickets are $30.

This summer, 25-yearold Katie Hooper went on a 7,550 km journey of self discovery. The local lifeguard participated in the 2011 Tour Du Canada, a 10-week cycle tour across Canada

from Vancouver, B.C. to the Avalon peninsula, in Newfoundland. “You’re on a bike anywhere between eight and 12 hours a day by yourself just thinking, and I really enjoyed it because of that,” she said. “I was able to reflect on a lot of things in my life.” Just as impressive as the feat itself is the fact that until three months before the tour began, Hooper had participated in spin classes but had not ridden a bicycle since she was eight years old. “I had a really bad accident,” she explained. A well-rounded athlete, Hooper was doing fourth-year research at university last year when she learned about the Tour Du Canada, and decided it was something she wanted to do. She purchased a bike in March 2011 and began her training. “I didn’t get a lot of opportunities on my

Marie, I dragged my bike a few blocks down the road to find a hotel I could stay at for three days until my tour caught up with me,” she said. Having biked across Canada, Hooper said she may like to try similar rides in other countries in the future. In the meantime, she has her sights on participating in next year’s Ride to Conquer Cancer. “I would like to encourage people to try experiencing things they don’t feel they’re capable of doing because as a non-cyclist I was able to complete this and by reaching beyond what you’re capable of, you’ll surprise yourself.”

VANRUYSKENSVELDE Charles Albert Dale (Dale) October 17, 1937 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; September 10, 2011 It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of my father, Dale. Dad was a long term employee of the Department of Highways. He was an avid fisherman, always on the hunt for the elusive Dolly Varden on his much-loved Kootenay Lake where he lived. Logging and hauling logs in his big rigs was truly a passion for Dale. He was a true outdoorsman with a great love of the woods, who lived a quiet life. Dearly missed by his wife Lorraine and children Alan, Brett (Christy), Todd (Kelly) and Cynthia (Dwain). Also grandchildren Kent, Adina, Marissa, Zak, Travis and Nikki. A celebration of his life will be held in Spring. He will be forever missed.

DEATHS

HENSTRIDGE, Margaret (Peggy) May 30, 1940 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; September 17, 2011 It is with great sadness and grief that we share the passing of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peggyâ&#x20AC;?, a wonderful wife, mother, sister, grammie, and friend. Peggy embraced life, laughter, and love throughout her long courageous battle with idiopathic pulmonary ďŹ brosis. Those who knew Peggy will remember the 43 years of hard work and love she dedicated to her customers as the owner/operator of Ladysmith Beauty Shoppe. Peggy will always be remembered for her wonderful sense of humour, her ability to make anyone laugh, her contagious smile, but most of all her never ending supply of love and support for others. Peggy cherished her family and friends, and showed us all how to live life to the fullest and embrace each day. She is predeceased by her sister Deloris, and her parents Murray and Retta. Peggy is survived by Norm her loving husband of 50 years, her sister Connie, son Richard (Josee) and daughter Norma (Cal) and four grandchildren Brayden, Kyla, Alison, and Meaghan. The family would like to thank the many friends and caregivers who have been so supportive over the years, in particular Dr. C. Fritsch, Dr. V. Kilvert, Marilynne, Jo-Anne, Wendy, Wilma, Mark, Bill, and Sandy. At Peggyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request no formal service will be held, but instead a celebration of life will be held at a later date. If friends and family so wish, they may make a donation in Peggyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name to the Canadian Lung Association. Wonderful memories woven in gold. These are the memories we tenderly hold. Deep in our hearts her memory is kept. To love, to cherish and never forget. Your loving family.
