Former LSS Principal Dave Street charged with theftCraig SpenceTHE CHRONICLE

Parents, students and staff at Ladysmith Secondary school have questions they want answered after hearing news that former prin-cipal David Street has been charged with theft, but the Board will not be able to respond while the matter is before the courts.

Street was charged May 22 with theft under $5,000, and is scheduled to appear in Nanaimo Provincial Court on June 16. The charges re-late to money he is alleged to have stolen from Woodlands Secondary School, where he had been principal since last fall. Previous to that he was principal at Ladysmith Secondary for five years.

The offences are alleged to have been com-mitted between Nov. 15, 2014 and March 26, 2015.Asked what money was missing, School Dis-

trict 68 Superintendent John Blain said he could not address that matter because it was before the courts, but added, “Any money that has gone missing through schools and etcet-era, we’ll ensure there is the ability to, that it doesn’t come out of student’s pockets and those types of things.”

Director of Communications Dale Burgos said later that Nanaimo-Ladysmith School Dis-trict has cooperated with police in their inves-tigation, but added that until after court pro-ceedings have concluded there is little that can be said. He confirmed the assurance given by Superintendent Blain included LSS, but added the facts of the case will not be known before court proceedings conclude.

Blain said that as of last Friday Street, who has been on paid leave since Spring Break, was no longer an employee of the school district and added that Street will not receive any sev-erance from the District.

The Cowichan Valley Regional Dis-trict has been served 72 hours’ strike notice by the United Steel Workers (USW) Local 1-1937.

The USW represents 50 CVRD em-ployees at Cowichan Lake Recreation, as well as solid waste employees at Bings Creek, Meade Creek and Peer-less Road transfer stations and 34 wa-ter and sewer services.

The earliest possible job action could have occurred was as of 1:14 p.m. on Monday June 1st. “At this time, it is not known what, if any, job action may be planned by the USW,” said Chief Ad-ministrative Officer Brian Carruthers in a May 29 release.

The CVRD has made an application to the Labour Relations Board to de-termine essential service levels related to this labour dispute and was expect-ing a response from the LRB on Mon-day.

The parties have had five bargaining sessions but remain apart on wage and benefit issues. “The CVRD has made a comprehen-sive offer of settlement to the USW on terms consistent with recent contract settlements with its Canadian Union of Public Employees and International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employ-ees local unions but this offer was re-jected by the USW,” Carruthers said.

The USW Local 1-1937 conducted a strike vote May 8, with 97 percent of its members voting in favour of job action.

“Contract talks failed after prolonged negotiations,” states a release from the union. “The union offered a much-reduced bargaining package in hopes of gaining a new agreement, but came to an impasse, with no movement from the CVRD negotiating committee.”At issue are: seniority language; ben-

efits for casual workers; wages; and premiums for certification tickets.“It is our sincere hope that job ac-tion can be avoided,” states the USW release, “ but clearly the ball is in the CVRD’s court.”

United Steel Workers Serve Strike Notice on CVRD

Craig SpenceTHE CHRONICLE

A kids’ carnival atmosphere pre-vailed at Aggie Hall May 27 as so-cial service providers and families got together to share information and learn a bit about each other during the eighth annual Healthy Start to Learning event.

The annual gathering of family social service providers, and par-ents of kids aged up to 6 years, is hosted for the Ladysmith-Chemainus School District by Ladysmith Families and Friends (LaFF). And as you would hope, the toddlers have a great time with face painting, music and healthy pizza snacks all round, provided by the Lion’s Club.

Blended in with the fun and games, is a serious initiative to in-

troduce families to the service pro-viders they may need during their children’s early years; and to intro-duce 20 or so family oriented ser-vice providers to the families and other agencies in their community.“This is a great opportunity for them to come and connect with families, and to network and un-derstand who’s doing what in our community to serve families,” said Jacqueline Neligan, executive di-rector of LaFF.

It’s also an opportunity for fami-lies to meet directly with provid-ers, gain supports, and realize what services are available here. “We all do struggle with issues down the road,” she said, “and so it’s normalizing those issues, re-alizing there is amazing, tremen-dous community support here in Ladysmith for families, and it’s

connecting those families to that support.”An early start can make a big

difference down the road. “It’s all about early intervention and prevention, so what a family can do now, in these early years, they can just build upon as their child grows,”Neligan said.

Families are often surprised by the services available to them in the region. “If you connect with a

family that has just moved to town, they are overwhelmed by the amount of services that are avail-able to them. The services that are available here are fantastic.”

It’s getting the word out that’s key. “The area that we could work on as a community is making sure that everyone knows what those services are, and how to access them,” Neligan said. “That’s ex-actly what this event is all about.”


Ladysmith Mayor Aaron Stone has taken a bit of razzing over his use of a skookum electric bike as his mode during Bike to Work Week, but he’s been able to leave all that behind him on a two wheeler capable of zipping along at near highway speeds.

Stone said ‘it was a blast’ riding around town on a Sunhame Bikes electric, which can travel up to 400 km on one charge, is capable of high-way speeds, and can rocket up even the steep-est grades Ladysmith has to offer.“My service calls this week, all my mayoral ap-pointments, I did on that bike, except for one, where I had too much gear to carry,” Stone re-ported in a meeting at Uforik Computers, his business in downtown Ladysmith. “I parked my electric car here and almost made excuses to make extra trips on the bike.”

The Sunhame is the brainchild of Don Suhan, who decided to build his own version of the electric bike with a ‘go big or go home’ attitude.

“It took a year of research and design but I did come up with something that worked,” says his web site, something that “could climb a 30 per-cent grade with ease.”

Bike to Work Week May 25 to 29 is an initia-tive to encourage cycling, both as an environ-mentally sustainable means of getting around, and as a mode that keeps people fit. Ladysmith has special obstacles when it comes to cycling, though – it’s hills. For his Sunhame ride that was no problem, Stone reported.“When you go up Roberts Street, or you go up Sy-monds, there was no way I could pedal any bike up those streets even as a kid,” he said, remember-ing zigzagging up the steep grades. The Sunhame made the climbing easy. “In a town like Ladysmith you can’t ask for anything more,” Stone said. “You can actually enjoy being on a bike.“It encourages you to bike more because you have that flexibility you don’t have with a regu-lar bike.”

It’s fun with some serious potential glob-ally and locally. Suhan said his bikes – which aren’t cheap at $10,000 and more – have tak-en at least 10 cars off the road, their drivers switching entirely from four-wheeled gas driv-en mode to two-wheel electric. The environ-mental footprint of a Sunhame compared to a car is miniscule.And if saving the environment isn’t your

thing, maybe saving money is. “When I first started riding these things about three years ago, I was burning about a tank a week in my diesel pick up truck,” Suhan said. “Now we’re down to a tank every two or three months.” He figures he’s saving $300 or more a month in fuel costs.

He builds his bikes from the ground up, and they’re like nothing else on the market, Suhan says. “Every piece on this bike is built for an electric vehicle, nothing on this bike is retro-fitted, so that makes this bike special.”

Price is an obstacle, he knows, but he thinks

he can get within competitive range. “We’re hoping to get that down, we’re working really hard,” Suhan said. “I feel at $7,000 we can sell a couple of hundred thousand of these a year.” And that’s where the local angle kicks in. If Su-han can get the investors, and if he can make it happen in Ladysmith, he’d like to make his dream come true right here.

To stay in the game he reckons he’s got to go big. “I want market share,” he said, “because if I don’t somebody else will, then I’m just going to be a little guy in a closet building bicycles that are way more expensive than what the market can afford. I have to go big.”

Both he and Stone want that to happen right here in Ladysmith, and Stone is happy to take a few gibes as a Bike to Work Day ‘cheater’ if he can help make that happen. “I’m so proud of these guys, I’m really glad they’re here,” he said.As for the taunts, he’s left all that behind in

the slipstream.

Federal party leaders asked to live up toenvironment promises

CEDAR – “We’d like to see the goals and promises of Canada’s former Environment Minister honoured and furthered,” said Laurie Gourlay, referring to the May 26th, 1986 opening statement of the Honourable Tom MacMillan to the World Commission on Environment and Development.

The president of the Vancouver Island and Coast Conservation Society has just sent a letter to Federal Party Leaders, requesting their support for a ‘Five Point Conservation Plan for Canada’ – one that reflects the ambitions of Canadians and their government some twen-ty-nine years ago today.

CVRD wants to expandheritageregister

The CVRD is embark-ing on a mission to expand its Community Heritage Register – an official list of heritage resources in the region’s electoral areas.

The Register includes the Kinsol Trestle, the highest and largest surviving timber rail trestle in Canada, also recorded on the Canadian Register of Historic Places; the Mill Bay Church, a Gothic Revival style building constructed in 1898; and the Old Koksilah School, built in the early 1900s in the historic vil-lage of Koksilah.

According to CVRD Board Chair, Jon Lefebure,

“These are the treasured places in Cowichan that mean so much to us. Stewardship of our heri-tage and cultural assets will support and encour-age tourism”.

The CVRD Board estab-lished heritage conserva-tion as a service for elec-toral areas in 1999 and subsequently created the Community Heritage Register in 2009. To find out more about the CVRD Heritage program or to nominate a his-toric place to the CVRD Community Heritage Register, visit www.cvrd.bc.ca/heritage

Ladysmith Mayor Aaron Stone test rode a Sunhame electric during Bike to Work Week May 25 to 29. Don Suhan, left in the photo, has been developing a line of battery powered bikes, which he believes are better than anything else available on the road. He wants to start manufacturing them in Ladysmith.

LSS earns Spuptitul honours


The Ladysmith Secondary School team may have taken the award for their efforts in the Spuptitul held at their home school May 27, but ev-eryone came away a winner in an event that saw First Na-tions students from through-out the region come and dem-onstrate their skills speaking Hul’qumi’num’

Spuptitul means a ‘competi-tion’ and students participat-ing in the event are eager to show their skills at speaking a language that has been used by the Stz’uminus and other coastal First Nations from time immemorial. Reviving that language is key to the fu-ture wellbeing of the commu-nity said speakers at the open-ing ceremony.“Language is so important to building and adding to our

culture, to making sure we thrive into the future with our children,” Stz’uminus First Nation Chief John El-liott said. “So I want to thank all the educators who are supporting our students and doing what they do to ensure that that continues to hap-pen from generation to gen-eration.”

But his best wishes went to the student competitors, who were about to stand up before panels of judges and demon-strate their skills at speaking their ancestral tongue.“I also want to thank the chil-dren for being here, not only representing their communi-ties, but the future too.” Elliott said.

Not hearing clearly when many people are talking?Many people find that they are no longer able to understand everything, particularly when in the company of others. Engineered in Switzerland, System Audéo V has been designed specifically to understand in group situations.

The majority of those surveyed stated that when exposed to considerable background noise they are able to hear that something is being spoken, but can no longer discern precisely what is being said. The words seem blurred and indistinct. But why is that? The effect tends to manifest itself in company, or in the restaurant. It is the high-pitched tones perceived at the entrance to the cochlea that are decisive when it comes to hearing things accurately. In the majority of cases these parts of the inner ear are the first to be affected by noise or aging. As the high-pitched tones are no longer perceived well, the auditory center of the brain begins to struggle to decode language. It’s a bit like an image that doesn’t have enough pixels.

New hearing chip developed

Swiss audiologists have developed a new hearing aid chip that is designed to improve speech comprehension in noise, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can test the new Audéo V system by Phonak simply by calling now to do so. The test phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role a new technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The chip recognizes where the person being spoken to

is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this significantly augments speech comprehension, especially in conversation. Interested people can register for a no-obligation demonstration of the Audéo V by calling 888.408.7377

The New Audeo V hearing aids provide considerable reduction in noise allowing you to focus on speech.

Most of us here on Vancouver Island are smug about living on the west coast. We may flit to other locales throughout the year, but we are quick to return to our fog and rain in the winter, and our sun and arbutus-danced beaches in the summer. It is in fact the land of many people’s dreams. What could be more tempting than the lush smell of the salt air, the glitter of sunbeams off the water, and the glow of phosphorescence in the night’s tides?

This is your time to bring that vision, that west coast glory to reality on the canvas, in the studio, and finally, to the gallery – intake for art is June 2 and 3rd. The Ladysmith Arts Council and Waterfront Gallery is eager to see what you – yes you, have created. The LAC encourages emerging artists to share their dreamscapes with the rest of the com-munity. It is through gentle nurturing that the artist in you can emerge with this nur-turance of your craft. And also, all of the professional artists out there are more than welcome as well to share their dreams and west coast desires.

Who better to lead this adventure than guest speaker and Tsimshian artist, Dorothy Jarvis. Dorothy Jarvis was born and raised in Prince Rupert, BC and has been painting in oils for over twenty years. Dorothy’s style is rich in history with a signature color palette that feels as though you are in the mist and the fog of the northern villages.

Her grandparents and mother was Tsimshian, from the Village of Port Simpson, members of the Lax Kw Alaams Band, Gitwilgyoots Tribe. She is deeply moved by scenes of Aboriginal life and the spirits of the great totem poles.

Dorothy will share her artful and soulful jour-ney into her art on opening night.

Please join us for an opening night worthy of the west coast spirit that islanders all call home. Festivities start at 7 pm on June 6 at the Ladysmith Waterfront Gallery. All are wel-come.


Kiwi Garden growsfor the communityCraig Spencethe chronicLe

Community garden a growing concern.Ask Bill Tilland or

Nairne Culver how their garden is grow-ing these days, and they’ll say very well - in all kinds of ways.

Tilland oversees op-erations at the Kiwi Cove Community Garden, although he modestly refers to himself as “basically a schlepper and ma-nure hauler”; Culver is the menu planner and purchaser at the Ladysmith Food Bank, which helps up to 350 people per week, who would otherwise not have enough to eat.

Together, they and the volunteers who come down twice a week to plant, water, weed and harvest a cornucopia of vegeta-bles off a three-quar-ter acre plot made available to them by the Kiwi Cove Lodge, supplement the re-sources of the food bank - in fact, they are providing the items at the top of the food bank’s in-demand list:

fresh garden produce.Potatoes, radish-

es, lettuce, cabbage, beans – from June through September they work the land and gather their crops. “For the last couple of years we’ve just concentrated on getting as much to the food bank as we can,” Tilland said. On average the commu-nity garden produces about 3,000 lbs of veg-etables for the food bank each year.“It means a huge amount to the food bank,” Culver said.

“It means we don’t have to buy vegeta-bles over the sum-mer.” The money that would have gone to buy produce can be used for other things.

Community gar-den volunteers get a boost doing good for their community. They also get to en-gage in an activity that nourishes body and soul. “Most of us are probably seniors,” Culver pointed out,

“and it’s just terrific for our health – the exercise and the so-cial camaraderie.”

“Anybody who likes nature is going to en-joy being down here because it’s just an incredible place,” Til-land said. “In terms of community involve-ment there’s nothing more gratifying than doing something tan-gible for the commu-nity.”

He’s thankful to Kiwi Cove Lodge owners Doug and Peggy Ko-losoff, not only for the land they provide, but for their contribu-tions to the communi-ty garden operations. Doug tills the land ev-ery year, gets a load of manure brought in for enriching the soil, and installs and maintains the irrigation system.

The Kiwi Cove Community Garden is on the look out for volunteers who want get their hands in the soil and their hearts in the right place. If you can put in three hours, one or two days a week (Mon-day’s and Wednes-days are their desig-nated days), contact Bill Tilland at [email protected] or phone 250-924-5269.

VICTORIA – We might call ourselves Super, Natu-ral or even The Best Place on Earth, but how is B.C. viewed around the world?

Ever since U.S. billionaires and their environmental cli-ents decided more than a decade ago to supervise our society, the impression that British Columbia is a primi-tive colonial backwater in need of “saving” has only been reinforced.

In late April, the province and coastal aboriginal lead-ers announced completion of marine planning areas for Haida Gwaii and the North and Central Coast. U.S. ac-tivists knew about the an-nouncement weeks before the legislature press gallery did, and a documentary crew was sent up to advance the narrative of the saving of the “Great Bear Rainforest.”

Within minutes of the an-nouncement, the World Wild-life Fund website trumpeted the creation of the “Great Bear Sea,” continuing the penchant of outsiders for re-naming large parts of B.C. to fit their marketing strategies.

Unlike the “Great Bear Rainforest” land use deal of 2007, the Sierra Club, For-estEthics and Greenpeace were not represented. In-stead, Tides Canada CEO Ross McMillan sat beaming in the audience.

McMillan’s role in direct-ing U.S. foundation money to B.C. has prompted him to declare himself “a principal architect of the Great Bear Rainforest project,” although in the early years he and his staff (currently 24 people) stayed behind the scenes while Sierra, Greenpeace et al took the credit.

At the event, two aborigi-nal leaders gave a nod to the real funder of the ongoing ef-fort to “save” the B.C. coast, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. Gordon Moore is a co-founder of Intel Corp., maker of most of the world’s computer processor chips, now spending his vast fortune on the Amazon basin, B.C. and other “threatened” places.

Other Silicon Valley and Seattle billionaires helped finance the original effort, and a strategy document surfaced in 2008 describing their plan to de-market the Alberta oilsands by creating a blockade against energy exports on our Pacific coast. That campaign has featured a fake cancer study and grossly exaggerated green-house gas claims compared to U.S. coal and oil produc-tion.

The effort has since ex-panded to natural gas, with false horror stories about “fracking” finding a recep-tive global audience.

Last week I wrote about the plan by British manufac-turing conglomerate Reckitt Benckiser to buy up farms in the B.C. Interior and replant them with trees. Contrary to my description, “RB Trees for Change” isn’t participat-ing in the dodgy European carbon credit market.

They’re just doing it for global marketing purposes, covering pioneer-cleared farms of our colonial back-water with forest for 100 years so they can advertise their soaps and cold pills as carbon neutral. Anoth-er 10,000 hectares of B.C.

“saved” from destruction by benevolent foreign interests!

Back to reality. B.C.’s Audi-tor General issued a report last week calling on the prov-ince to do more to prevent the “cumulative effects” of industrial development. A fa-miliar example of this is the struggle to maintain caribou herds in northern B.C.

The B.C. government mus-tered a response from the multiple ministries that have worked on this since 2010.

Among other things, they noted that 90 per cent of B.C.’s vast area is now covered by regional land use plans created to man-age cumulative impacts. A whopping 37 per cent of B.C. is designated as parks and protected areas for en-vironmental and cultural values.

Maybe that’s still not good enough, but it’s better than anything I can find in Eu-rope or the U.S. That’s par-ticularly true of California, home of Hollywood, Sili-con Valley, a pipeline spill, heavy oil refining and grid-locked freeways.

A pair of boats continue to sit half-submerged in the waters offshore from Oak Bay’s Beach Avenue. The vessels – which represent both a navigational and environ-

mental hazard – were first reported to Trans-port Canada in March.

Word arrived from Ottawa last week that help is definitely not on its way.The Conservative government voted to kill a private member’s bill that would at least get something on the books regarding derelict vessels that threaten coastal environments.

Nanaimo-Cowichan MP Jean Crowder put a bill on the floor earlier this year that, if passed, would have made the Canadian Coast Guard the sole receiver of wrecks, taking responsibil-ity for aging, abandoned boats in the country.

But Crowder is a member of the NDP, and the Harper government has shown time and again that it places partisan gain above the best inter-ests of the Canadian people.

Cristopher Porter of WildVision Edutainment invested his own time, expertise and resources to remove some of the environmental hazards from the sunken boats in Oak Bay. The diver re-moved propane tanks and about eight bags of garbage from the pair of sunken boats. Porter said the boats are still leaking fuel and oil, and there’s a big skim on the water. He also took off the ropes so animals couldn’t become tangled. “There’s so much life out there, it’s sad to see.”

What is truly sad to see is a federal govern-ment content to see private citizens take on the responsibility of protecting Canada’s natural habitat. The Conservative government could have sent the bill to committee where it could have undergone substantial change to avoid the unthinkable consequences of giving credit to the NDP.

As evidenced by the systematic dismantling of Coast Guard operations on the West Coast, the protection of the environment, and potentially human lives, is simply not on the federal gov-ernment’s radar. And it is this disregard of seem-ingly commonsense solutions that could have voters looking for a change of course when they head to the polls this fall.

Dogpatch is a‘unique’ assetreader saysEditor:

Regarding the front page Chronicle story of the May 29 issue, Dogpatch Solution dies in Parliament, Barron’s Canadian Law Dictionary defines ‘derelict as: A vessel [that] had been abandoned and deserted at sea by those who were in charge of it.’

The Chronicle erroneously states that 44 der-elict vessels exist in Dogpatch. In reality there are few abandoned vessels in Dogpatch. The majority are legally moored and regularly tend-ed.

Vessels which may be abandoned are moni-tored by Transport Canada, the lawful author-ity responsible for derelicts.

There seems to be endless up-shore hoopla emanating from individuals (including some staff of the Chronicle and Ladyship Town Council) claiming expert authority in an arena wherein they possess little understanding as to what is fact.

Dogpatchers continue to be legally moored and available to respond to critcal maritime sit-uations: Which is why all vessels are immune against local and private interference under the Canadian Constitution.

Ladysmith’s unique industrial harbour pro-vides year round employment to many. Dog-patch residents support local businesses 365 days per year and contribute countless hours of free volunteer time at the Ladysmith Com-munity marina. Ladysmith would benefit better from recognizing and embracing Dogpatch as a unique asset.

The Ladysmith Maritime Society’s ship came in, but just in time for the unveiling of the Long Wharf diorama project this weekend.

Seven years in the making, the diorama un-veiling was the centerpiece of the Maritime Festival, which ran from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. last weekend at the Ladysmith Community Mari-na. It depicts in minute detail the Long Wharf, where coal from Ladysmith’s Extension Mine was loaded onto ships for export.

The long awaited unveiling was tinged with sadness as LMS members remembered model maker Guy Brooke, who researched, designed and started the work on the project in 2009 be-fore he succumbed to illness in 2010. He would have been proud of the finished work.

In 2013, with the project stalled, Maritime Heritage Centre curator Shirley Blackstaff ap-proached a group of Duncan model railroaders, headed up by Dave Ames, and asked if they would complete the diorama.

They contributed hundreds of hours, sculpt-ing the landscape, then replicating: buildings, the wharf, railway cars and engines, and hun-

dreds of other details to accurately portray an operation integral to Ladysmith’s history, and to the harbour especially.

Volunteers include: Harry Southern, Ken Black, Bob Hartl, Victor Gerwin, Jim Irvine, Vies Salanski and Bill Hook. Southern docu-mented the process and produced a video that’s on display at the centre and posted on YouTube.

With the railroaders on board everything was coming together on schedule, except for one key element they did not feel up to recreating: a coal ship to tie up to the wharf.

Professional model shipbuilder Colin Ma-cLock was asked to build a model coal barque (a barque is a four-masted sailing vessel), as described in Brooke’s original plans. MacLock didn’t want to guess how many hours he put into the project, but it was ‘lots.’“I wanted to do a good job because this diora-ma has been so long in the making, and these guys have just done such a fabulous job,” he said.

He, Ames and Southern were installing the finished vessel and touching up details Thurs-day, just in time for everything to be shipshape for the big day May 30.

Dave Ames, Colin Ma-cLock and Harry South-ern put some � nishing details on a barque which was added to the Long Wharf diorama at the Maritime Heritage Centre May 28.

Locals trek to Dragon’s DenGarage Door Doctor owner Corey Paisley and son Caleb drove across Canada in one of their companies service vehicles to participate in a � lming of CBC’s Dragons’ Den show. PHOTO PROVIDED

COLOUR VISIONI have recently had several patients asking about colour vision and the defi nition of “colour blindness”. As the days of summer approach, grass is growing, gardens are thriving, and there are so many colours surrounding us, this seemed an appropriate time to talk about colour perception.

How we perceive colour is determined by the functioning of a particular type of photoreceptor in the eye. There are two types of photoreceptors in the eye: the rods, which function in low illumination, and the cones which serve vision at high levels of illumination. It is estimated that there are 120 million rods distributed throughout the retina, outside

the central 5 degrees, and approximately 7 million cones located primarily in the central 2 degrees. It is the functioning of the cones that provides us with our ability (or inability) to see varying colours. Each cone has a light sensitive pigment that is sensitive to and registers wavelengths of either red, green or blue light. The reduction in or lack of one or more of these light sensitive pigments results in an alteration of colour perception.

“Colour blind” is a bit of a misused term; more often the condition people are referring to is colour defi ciency. A truly colour blind individual would see only differences in lightness in their surrounding environment. While this condition, called achromatopsia, does occur, it is rare and is a result of an absence of cones or the presence of only one cone subtype.

The majority of individuals with colour perception issues are “colour defi cient”, mean-ing that while they still perceive colour, they have more diffi culty distinguishing various hues than an individual with normal colour vision. The degree of defi ciency can range from quite minimal, and only noted on specifi c testing, to severe where many colours (for example oranges, reds, browns, yellows and greens) look similar which can cause issues functioning in a colour normal world. Red-green defi ciency, the most prevalent colour defi ciency, affects approximately 8% of males and approximately 0.4 percent of females.

There are various causes of colour vision defi ciency including aging, genetics (X-linked recessive gene, which results in the far higher prevalence of males being impacted), and diseases such as diabetes, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and multiple sclerosis. Certain medications can also alter colour perception as well as exposure to certain chemicals.

While there is no cure for colour defi ciency, though gene therapy is being researched, there are some aids for the colour defi cient individual that can be helpful for function-ing in a colourful world. Coloured fi lters or coloured contact lenses can enhance the difference in certain colours, and learning the standard positioning of things in the environment (such as traffi c lights) can also be a useful tool. Additionally, identifying the colour defi ciency early can reduce frustration and allow for adjustments to be made to a child’s learning environment. Colour vision is routinely screened for in children’s ocular assessments and is tested in adults applying to work in occupations where normal colour perception is a safety issue.

Anyway you want it,

that’s the way you get it!

Police are investigating a suspi-cious fire, which caused severe damage to the Coast Salish De-velopment Corporation, located on Stz’uminus First Nations lands just North of Ladysmith BC.

Police and Oyster Bay fire fight-ers responded to the alarm Sunday, May 31 at 2:45 a.m. and discovered the building on fire.

The structure itself was saved but sustained undetermined inte-

rior damage. There was no-one in in the building at the time.

Ladysmith RCMP called in ar-son investigators from the RCMP Island District General Investiga-tions Section, who determined, based on forensic findings at the scene, that the fire was deliber-ately set. Arson investigators have now assumed control of the inves-tigation, which remains active and ongoing.

Doors could open for Ladysmith company on Dragons’ Den

Corey Paisley, president and owner of Garage Door Doctor Canada, hopes a fall appearance on CBC’s Dragons’ Den will open investment doors and help ramp up his Ladysmith busi-ness nation-wide.After being invited to make a pitch on na-

tional television from the Dragons’ Den pro-ducers Paisley and his son Caleb drove from Ladysmith to Toronto in a company service van to participate in an episode of the show filmed in April.“The drive gave me plenty of time to think about my presentation to the Dragons and, also, some time to worry about how I would perform” said Paisley. You don’t appear before fire-breathers like Kevin O’Leary and Arlene Dickinson without getting your heat shield ready and your story fireproofed.

Garage Door Doctor, a garage door emergen-cy repair service, has served Vancouver Island since 1998. Recently Paisley has been tuning up his business model in preparation for national expansion. His company was selected from thousands of business auditions across Cana-da to appear this fall on Season 10 of Dragons’ Den, where Paisley will pitch his investment opportunity to the panel of venture capitalists. “Like many other Vancouver Island based businesses, it can be a challenge to obtain the expertise and capital necessary to take a suc-cessful local enterprise to other Canadian mar-kets,” said Paisley in a recent release, “so this is a good step in the right direction.”“While we were driving back across the coun-try after the filming, I was struck by the many diverse small businesses in our towns and cit-ies that share the potential to grow but may lack the resources to make it happen,” he added.

A large, gathering of bikers engaged in a ‘poker run’ kept Ladysmith and assisting RCMP busy Saturday, May 30.

Police estimate up to 70 riders congregated at a clubhouse at Third Avenue near Ladysmith In-termediate School, which is used by a group known as the Veter-ans.

There were also ‘colour wearing’ Hell’s Angels in the mix states the RCMP report.

During the poker run police observed “blatant acts of disobe-dience of traffic control devices when the motor cycles were trav-elling in group formation.”

“This matter is being followed up and investigated,” the report adds

Later that evening a motor ve-hicle leaving the Veterans club house was reported to have run over a nearby fire hydrant.“This matter is also under investi-gation,” states the report. “Based on wreckage at scene and damage the RCMP members managed to track the offending vehicle and later located it while the subjects, dressed in Veterans Colours, were attempting to repair a flat tire.”

One person has been charged with failing to remain at the scene of an accident.

The Seniors Office of the Ladysmith Resources Centre would like to thank Dave and Carolyn Milne, owners of the Tim Hortons here in Ladysmith for sponsoring our wonderful bus trip to the Deep Bay Marine Field Station.

It was an educational, as well as an enjoyable day. The lunch provided was done by the students at VIU, and it was spectacular.

We were treated very well by everyone at the Station. We stopped in Qualicum Beach for coffee in the morning, as well as Coombs for ice cream in the afternoon.

Great day!! The Seniors Office of the Ladysmith Resources Centre is spon-

soring Jane Hope from the Alzheimer Society who will present a two-part workshop to help caregivers learn strategies to care for someone with dementia, and to also take care of their own health.

Family caregivers of people with dementia are often called “the invisible second clients” for a good reason. The workshops are being held June 26th and July 3rd from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. at the Ladysmith Resources Centre. Please call Barb to register 250-245-3079. It is important that both sessions are attended, but if only one date works, please register!!

The Ladysmith Seniors Advisory Council is looking for new members as we have lost a few this past spring. The LSAC serves as an advocate and representative for seniors in Ladysmith and surrounding area. We provide a voice for seniors as well as look at ways to enhance existing programs and services.

If you would like to join our council or need more information, please call Barb or Sharen at 250-245-3079.

Dale Gisborne, LRCA Dads Drop-in coor-dinator presented a cheque to the folks at the Kinsmen Club recently as a donation toward the New Playground equipment at Trans-fer Beach. The dads in the program had a hot dog sale, and raised over $800, as the LRCA contribution toward the healthy development of children in Ladysmith.

President Steve Dinsmore, Ladysmith Kinsmen, presented Kinsmen National Bursary Award winner, Melissa Mrus with her $1,000 certificate. Melissa was one of only 50 recipi-ents of the bursary from across Canada. She is enrolled in V.I. University this fall.

This Fathers’ Day weekend, firefighters from across the South and Central Island will descend on the Mesachie Lake Skydome for the 36th consecutive year.

The annual slo-pitch softball tournament will see the Mesachie Group, which in-cludes firefighters from Mesachie Lake, Lake Cowichan, Honeymoon Bay, Youbou, Caycu-se, Duncan, Cowichan Bay, Langford and Ladysmith, come together to raise as much money as possible for Muscular Dystrophy Canada.

It’s a huge fundraiser for Muscular Dystrophy Canada, raising over $700,000 for the group over the years, according to a press release from Cowichan Bay’s deputy fire chief Cam Ferguson.

This year’s softball tournament will begin on Friday, June 19. The Mesachie Lake Skydome is located at 9315 South Shore Road.

Gill Road is the first street in Ladysmith to officially be a Block Watch Neighbour-hood. They were already applying some of the principals so it was a natural to go the next step. The RCMP held an informative public meeting April 31 and their street had a healthy representation.

The first step was for someone on the street to take the initiative. There is a Block Watch Captain at one end of the street and a Co-Captain at the other on the opposite side. The two of them had to have a criminal check and then proceed on asking neighbors if they were interested in the program.

Gill Road neighbours with Constable Wanner and Block Watch sign.

On July 1st, 2015, Vancouver Island Regional Library (VIRL) will be realigning branch hours to support improved service to more than half of its branches.

The realignment initiative addresses the needs and accessibility of 24 rural branches to improve the delivery of library services across the entire regional system. The realign-ment initiative acknowledges the cooperative nature of VIRL’s 39-branch regional library system while remaining cost neutral and ad-hering to the Board-approved 2015 operating budget.“The environment in which we deliver library

services is dramatically changing and our charge is to ensure that VIRL is relevant and ac-cessible to our communities – great and small. Improving access to library service for our ru-ral communities, while adhering to budget lim-itations, has required an innovative solution.” Comments Rosemary Bonanno, Executive Di-rector, VIRL. “We are committed to supporting the larger community of Vancouver Island as a cooperative and are appreciative of staff and customer patience and dedication during this improvement.”

Find out the new hours of your branch at:virl.bc.ca/realignment-branch-hours-july-1st-2015

FISHER, Mary (nee Attack)With great sorrow the family of Mary Fisher regrets to announce her peaceful passing on May 29th, 2015 in Chemainus B.C.Mary is lovingly remembered by her daughters, Hilary (Ray) Bates and Anne Ellison; grandson Derek Bates and granddaughters, Ashley Bates and Kimberly Ellison. Mary was predeceased by her husband, Kenneth James Fisher, parents James and Mary Ellen Attack, and

brothers; John and Edward Attack.Mary was born on January 6, 1922 in Toronto, Ontario. At the age of two she moved with her parents and baby brother John (Jack) to Penetanguishene, Ontario, where another brother Edward was born. There she completed her elementary and secondary school years.

In 1942 Mary entered the R.N. nursing program at St Andrew’s Hospital in Midland, Ontario, with affiliation at both The Hospital for Sick Children and Toronto Western Hospitals. After graduation, she nursed at several hospitals in Ontario in Fort Erie and Toronto, before coming west in 1948. Mary was nursing at the Chemainus Hospital on Vancouver Island when she met her future husband, Ken Fisher. They were married at St. John’s Anglican Church in Duncan, B.C. on September 9, 1950 and had two daughters; Hilary and Anne. The family moved to Seacloud Rd. in Saltair in 1954 and contentedly remained in the same home for 50 years, until Ken passed away in October of 2004. In 2005, Mary moved to Duncan to be closer to her younger daughter Anne and her family. Although it was difficult to leave her home after so many years, Mary made many new friends and acquaintances at the Silver Park Senior’s residences in Duncan, B.C. which she treasured until the end. In 2012, Mary became a resident of the Chemainus Health Care Centre, reminding her of her days living upstairs in the Nurse’s ResidenceOn the same site where she began her life in B.C. in 1948.

A Memorial Service will be held at St. Michael & All Angels Church, Chemainus, B.C. on June 3, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. followed by a reception in the Church Hall. Reverend Sheila Flynn officiating.

Telford’s of Ladysmith250-245-5553

Gavin McConville died this past month in a car accident on May 5th near his home in Cedar, B.C. Gavin was in the fullness of his life, living almost larger than life: more enthu-siastic, more present, more loving than most of us...he will be missed deeply as he was loved by many.

Gavin used his love of language, appreciation for diversity of culture and his gregarious and creative skills in instruction of ESL in colleges and most recently VIU university. His passion and enthusi-asm was touching and inspiring. He was a talented musician and great sailor, forever reaching out to music and the ocean.

Gavin leaves behind his great love Melissa and their young children Jade and Cayle, as well as his father James, stepmother Jo, sisters Nicola and Charmian. Let your memories of Gavin, his laughter, his spirit and his love fl ourish, and may you send blessings for his spirit and for his young family.

A service for Gavin was held at St Philips Cedar Church on Saturday, May 30, 2015 at 10 a.m. and a burial at Cedar Valley Memorial Gardens, followed by a reception at VIU. In lieu of fl owers, send do-nations toward Nepalese Relief fund in his name.
