Nita Grant chosen as Citizen of the YearLindsay ChungTHE CHRONICLE

Nita Grant was up at 5:30 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 2 to get ready to volunteer for the Rotary Pancake Breakfast during Ladysmith Days.

That part was pretty typi-cal for Grant, who has been a member of the Ladysmith Rotary Club for more than 40 years and has volun-teered with countless com-munity groups over the years. The surprise came four and a half hours later when she heard her name called as the Ladysmith Celebrations Society’s Citi-zen of the Year for 2014.“The person chosen as this year’s Citizen of the Year is, without a doubt, very deserving,” Ladysmith Celebrations Society presi-dent Barry Frech said as he made the presentation.

“This person has been nomi-nated many times over the years, and this year is the time for the recognition of all the work and commu-nity involvement.”

Frech told the crowd that there are few commu-nity events over the past 40 years that Grant has not played an active role in.

“This person is always the first to volunteer and al-ways the last to leave,” he said. “No job is ever too big or too small. There is always a smile on the face and a cheerful hello to ev-eryone. This person has been among Ladysmith’s No. 1 supporters and has worked tirelessly for the betterment of the town and its citizens.”

Frech pointed out that without Grant’s interest and dedication, many of

the town’s successes would not have been achieved, es-pecially in the downtown area, where she was a driv-ing force for the downtown business association.

Frech outlined a long list of Grant’s involvement in the community.

He noted that she has been a member of the Ladysmith Rotary Club for more than 40 years, and she was a merchant lead-er in the revitalization of the downtown area in the

1980s. Grant was a commit-tee member of Ladysmith Days and the Ladysmith Celebrations Society for many years, and she was a committee member of the Ladysmith Heritage and Re-vitalization Commission for the maximum allowed time.

Frech also pointed out that Grant was an execu-tive and member of the Ladysmith Chamber of Commerce for many years and was an executive of the Ladysmith Show and Shine

for many years. She has al-ways supported organiza-tions requesting donations, she was the instigator of the Coats for Kids program for many years, and she started the 50 Plus Com-puter Club.“The combination of on-

going efforts and devotion to countless and unselfish volunteer hours exempli-fies the definition of volun-teerism and is deserving of the honour that comes with being chosen Citizen of the Year,” said Frech.

Grant was shocked to win the award.“I was listening to all those things I’m involved in, and when he got to the last two, I thought ‘my God, it has to be me,’” she said following her ride in the parade in the Citizen of the Year car, driv-en by Mayor Rob Hutchins.

“It’s really, really a big sur-prise. It’s quite an honour.”

The Citizen of the Year award means a lot to Grant.“It means I am appreciated,

it means people really did like what I contributed to the community, it means that I’m appreciated and that it’s a fun community,” she said. “I love the com-munity and always have.”

Can noise and speed on the highway be reduced?

Ladysmith clubs support D.A.R.E.

Four Ladysmith service clubs donated a total of $2,000 during the 2013-14 school year to help local RCMP teach the internationally-recognized Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) program to 147 local Grade 5 or 6 students.

To cover the cost of the students’ learning materials, the Rotary Club of Ladysmith contributed $500, the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 171 donated $250, the Kinsmen Club of Ladysmith provided $500, and the Fraternal Order of Eagles provided $750.

According to RCMP Sgt. Gus Papagiannis, who oversees the D.A.R.E. program in B.C., more than 200 police officers teach D.A.R.E. each year to thousands of B.C. schoolchildren to equip them with the critical thinking and life skills necessary to choose a drug-free life. While police officers teach the program, the cost of the student learning materials is covered by community donations so the program can be offered free to all students.

Papagiannis says the RCMP is very grateful to the Ladysmith service clubs who generously donated to D.A.R.E.

In brief

Lindsay ChungTHE CHRONICLE

Ladysmith residents living near the Trans-Canada Highway are hop-ing to work with council to make it safer and quieter.

Sandy Jasper and Larry Blatch-ford spoke to council July 21 about their concerns around speed, safety and noise on the highway.

Jasper has lived on Bayview Av-enue, which runs parallel to the Trans-Canada Highway, since 2000, when the highway was only two lanes and the speed was slower.“What we purchased was not

this situation — this situation has grown and will continue to grow as the population as Ladysmith grows,” she said. “This problem is not go-ing to go away, and it’s going to get worse.”

One thing Jasper would like to see is opening up a dialogue as a com-munity about how to deal with the speed and noise issues, such as looking into highway noise reduc-tion fences.“I’m here to see how can safety

and quality of life for residents liv-ing along the highway be improved,” Blatchford told council. “I want to emphasize the normal traffic noise is not a problem — it is expected. What we want to address is enforce-ment of our noise bylaws.”

Blatchford says truck engine breaks, exhaust and unmuffled mo-torcycles are the worst offenders.“Quality of life is being impacted

by unnecessary noise, house values

are affected and it’s difficult to sell,” he said.

Blatchford also brought up safety concerns with the pedestrian cross-ing at the Trans-Canada Highway and North Davis Road. He told council that there are many near-misses at the crossing near Coro-nation Mall, and many people, in-cluding himself, are very weary of crossing.“It’s pretty scary,” he said. “Speed is

a major factor.”Blatchford says Ladysmith’s 90

km/h speed limit at the south end of town is the highest on the Is-land, explaining that the speed limit entering or departing Chemainus, Duncan, Mill Bay and Nanoose are all lower and these other communi-ties do not have high density along the highway like Ladysmith.

Blatchford has consulted with oth-er residents, and he brought a few proposals to council.

One was to lower the speed limit to 70 km/h all the way through, starting at Peerless Road.

He asked if council could send a request to the RCMP for vigorous enforcement of noise and speed laws.

He also asked if it is possible to open up a dialogue around sound barriers.

In a letter to council, realtor Kent Knelson said he believes the homes on Gill Road and the properties in the surrounding area are suffering from devaluation due to the exces-sive noise from the road, specifical-ly the engine braking of trucks.

Al and Irene Deschene wrote to council supporting the presentation and said they think the speed limit in the south end should be 70 km/h.

Barry and Jeanette Pynn also sent a letter to council about speed lim-its along the highway and wrote about a Sunday morning when they were walking from their house on Gill Road and crossing the highway at North Davis Road and a car came speeding through the intersection, just narrowly missing hitting them. They too asked council to have the speed limit reduced in this area.

Mayor Rob Hutchins explained that when the highway was upgrad-ed, the challenge is that there is a designed speed on this highway this 110 km/h. The Ministry of Transpor-tation and Infrastructure (MOTI) wanted the speed limit to be 110 km/h, and after five years, the Town eventually got them to agree to do a slower section through town. “We have on a few occasions ap-

proached them to lower the speed at the south end,” he said. “Sight dis-tance is key when looking at high-way speed … they designed it for sight distance to be higher than 70.”

Coun. Steve Arnett said he would like to see what council can do about the length of the walk light at the North Davis Road crossing.

The North American standard for pedestrian crossing times is set up for about four feet per second, ex-plained John Manson, the Town’s director of infrastructure services.

Manson says many communities have gone back to a lower standard

of three feet per second.“We asked the Ministry if they

would consider this, and they said they would if we could show there are enough vulnerable users,” he said. “Perhaps a letter would help.”At the meeting, council voted to

ask staff to review options for en-forcing the Town’s Noise Suppres-sion Bylaw 1478, particularly with regard to the use of engine brakes; request the assistance of the RCMP in enforcing the prohibition on the use of engine brakes in the Town of Ladysmith; write to trucking com-panies advising them of the Town’s rules on the use of engine brakes and the enforcement of those rules, and requesting their co-operation in the matte and request the assis-tance of the MOTI Commercial Ve-hicle Inspection Division in enforc-ing regulations regarding the use of engine brakes in town.

Council will also ask the MOTI to consider a partnership for installing a noise barrier along the highway.As well, council voted to ask the

RCMP to increase enforcement of the 70 km/h speed limit on the Trans-Canada Highway through town and to request the RCMP’s help in enforcing the regulations concerning the mandatory use of mufflers on vehicles in accordance with the Motor Vehicle Act.

Council will also request the MOTI investigate pedestrian safety con-cerns at the intersection of North Davis Road and the Trans-Canada Highway and implement measures to address those concerns.


Lindsay Chungthe chronicle

It’s possible that more than 250 vehicles will take over downtown Ladysmith during the 11th annual Ladysmith Show and Shine.

This year’s car show takes place Saturday, Aug. 16 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Registration be-gins at 8 a.m., and the show officially opens at 10 a.m. “It is hoped that as

many cars as possible will register early,” said organizing com-mittee member Duck Paterson. “All the cars registering on the day of the show will come into Ladysmith from the north end, and the sign-in desk will be at First Avenue and War-ren Street. If the weath-er co-operates, the committee is hoping to have over 250 vehicles registered this year.”

Paterson says they’ve had more pre-registra-tions so far than any other year.

As a prelude to the show, there is a Rod Run Friday, Aug.

15, starting at the Ladysmith A&W at 5 p.m. Vehicles will start to gather at 5 p.m., and there will be entertain-ment until 7 p.m. At 7 p.m., vehicles will leave A&W and parade into Ladysmith by the First Avenue round-a-bout and proceed all the way to Chemainus, where they will turn around and come back.

This year is the 50th anniversary of the Ford Mustang, and al-though this isn’t a Mus-tang show, organizers are hoping to have a good contingent of Mustangs in the show, according to Paterson.

Paterson says the Ladysmith Show & Shine usually attracts about 225 vehicles. They have had as many as 260 cars, trucks and motorcycles, and this year, their goal is 275 vehicles.

This year, the organiz-ing committee has de-signed its own plaques featuring a picture of downtown Ladysmith with the cars for the award winners.

Spectators will have

a chance to decide who wins the People’s Choice Award, which will be presented for first, second and third place.

Plaques will also be given out to the partici-pants’ top choices, and there will be a Little Valley Restorations trophy for the neatest paint job. There is a new award this year for the Ambassadors’ Choice, voted on by the Ladysmith Ambas-sador Team.

During the Show & Shine, there will be live entertainment, conces-sions and booths.

This year, local band Roctane will perform for the crowds.“They play an assort-

ment of the early- to mid-1960s and 1970s tunes that everybody used to cruise the main streets to,” said Pater-son.As well, the Wizard

and Enchantress will be back to entertain spectators.

The Ladysmith Li-ons Club will provide a concession stand, and the Ladysmith

Kinsmen will set up a hot dog stand. Funds raised will go towards rebuilding the play-ground at Transfer Beach.

Paterson thinks host-ing a car show like this benefits Ladysmith in many ways.“It gives the town ex-

posure,” he said. “As more people get to experience Ladysmith, more people get to like it.”

The Show & Shine also gives residents something to do on a Saturday, he noted.“It’s a nice fam-

ily event,” he said. “I think it’s something Ladysmith can be proud of.”

First Avenue will be closed Saturday, Aug. 16 from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Organizers request that dogs not be brought down to the car show, as this is a spectator event, and Town bylaws prohibit bringing dogs to spe-cial events on First Avenue, explained Paterson, adding that Animal Control will be enforcing the bylaw.

Kaleigh shooting for a cureLindsay Chungthe chronicle

Eight-year-old Kaleigh Bur-kett’s motto is “shooting for a cure!” and the Ladysmith girl is determined to help raise money to find a cure for diabetes.

Burkett, who was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) just over two years ago, has dedi-cated a lot of her time to volun-teering and raising money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), and this year, she is one of the ambassa-dors for the Telus Walk to Cure Diabetes.

To get people excited about the walk, Burkett hosted a launch celebration July 24 at 49th Café.

The Telus Walk to Cure Diabe-tes, which will take place Sun-day, Sept. 28 at McGirr Sports Fields in Nanaimo, is the sig-nature fundraiser for the JDRF, the leading global organization focused on T1D research, fo-cused on curing, better treating and preventing diabetes.

T1D is an autoimmune disease in which a person’s pancreas stops producing insulin, a hor-mone that enables people to get energy from food. According to the JDRF, more than 300,000 Canadian children, adolescents and adults live with T1D.

During the launch event, there was live music by Kerry Ryan

and a draw for prizes donated by Pharmasave, Jade Esthet-ics (Krista Dyer) and Old Town Bakery. As the national sponsor of the walk, Thrifty Foods do-nated snacks, while 49th Café donated the venue, and Save-on-Foods was a sponsor as well. Coast Realty in Ladysmith has sponsored T-shirts for the walk.“Tonight is to build awareness

for the walk and get people ex-cited about the walk that’s com-ing and get their pledge forms,” explained Burkett’s mother, Courtney.

Burkett loves to sing, dance watch hockey and to make crafts. She has made crafts to

sell as fundraisers, and she worked with Jada Bohmer of 3 Little Gems to create a diabe-tes awareness fundraising neck-lace and bracelet last year.

Burkett has been recognized for her fundraising efforts by being chosen as the Telus Walk to Cure Diabetes ambassador last year and this year and as the Gala of Hope ambassador. As well, she won a Leaders of Tomorrow award in 2013.

To learn more about Burkett and her fundraising, find the Ka-leigh’s Hope page on Facebook.

My office contin-ues to receive e-mails, calls and

letters outlining concerns about the ongoing nego-tiations around the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).

New Democrats share those concerns, and our trade critic, Don Davies (MP Vancouver-King-sway), wrote to the Minis-ter of International Trade to outline those concerns.

This is an edited version of that letter. For the full text, please go to www.ndp.ca.

Dear Minister Fast:As the Official Oppo-

sition, the NDP wishes to highlight three major themes that we believe should guide Canada’s po-sitions through the TPP negotiations:

1. Increasing the trans-parency of TPP negotia-tions;

2. Promoting and defend-ing important Canadian interests; and

3. Supporting strong hu-man rights, labour and en-vironmental standards.

It is our view that Canada ought to aspire to a high de-gree of open-ness and ac-countability in conducting our trade policy.

We call on your Govern-ment to release the draft text of the TPP to Par-liamentarians on appropriate confidentiality terms; to implement a program of broad consultation with a full complement of signifi-cant Canadian stakehold-ers; and to establish a reg-ular reporting process to inform the Canadian pub-lic of the issues engaged by, and progress made in, the TPP negotiations.

We are aware that there are serious pressures be-ing applied in the TPP ne-gotiations to weaken Can-

ada’s supply managed sec-tors, our intel-lectual prop-erty regime, and our health care system.

It is in Cana-da’s interests, and reflects Canadians’ de-sire, to main-tain an agri-cultural policy that supports a strong farm-

ing sector in healthy rural communities, with a sta-ble system that produces safe, healthy and balanced creator-user structure and timely access to cost-ef-fective prescription medi-cines.

We believe it is critical to preserve unequivocally the ability of domestic governments to legislate in the public interest, par-ticularly in the areas of so-cial policy, environmental

regulation and resource development.

In a number of countries involved in the TPP ne-gotiations, there is a lack of democracy, and an ab-sence of normative free-doms. Child labour, forced labour, detention of po-litical dissidents and dra-conian laws targeting the LGBTQ community are among the human rights violations that have been identified.

In our view, the Govern-ment ought to ensure that Canadian representations publicly advance democ-racy and respect for hu-man rights, and require meaningful improvements as a condition of participa-tion in the TPP.

Finally, we call on the Government to place any final agreement before Parliament and the Ca-nadian public for a com-prehensive analysis of its benefits and costs prior to formal commitment by Canada.

Sincerely,Don Davies, MP

We should not be afraid of “equality”Editor: As an Indigenous lawyer and mother, I am greatly sad-

dened by Michael Smith’s letters which perpetuate the false belief that recognizing our rights and title will en-courage inequality. This uninformed view leads to misbe-liefs and perpetuates racism. Aboriginal people, for over a hundred years, have been denied basic human rights most Canadians take for granted. Many discriminatory laws still exist today, and no other Canadian citizens are subject to such overtly racist legislation.

Aboriginal people have not chosen to be poor. Canada consistently wins the prize for their achievement at 12th place in the United Nations Human Development Index. However, the country’s index slides down to 64th once the Aboriginal people’s wellness is taken into account. The UN Rapporteur shamed Canada recently for its lack of equality, noting how poor Aboriginal Canadians’ life expectancy, income, education and incarceration rates are. How can one argue Aboriginal Canadians have ex-tra rights in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary? We want equality too, Mr. Smith. We want our children to eat every day, have opportunities, and have good health … just like yours.

We should not be afraid of “equality” by fearing Aborig-inal rights and title. The law of Aboriginal title and rights is a huge step toward realizing some equality and mak-ing space for the Aboriginal peoples’ laws and culture. It does not need to be feared but seen as a possible means of finally reconciling settler society with the Indigenous peoples. It is a good thing.

Most of the lands in British Columbia remain subject to Aboriginal title, which was never lawfully extinguished. The laws that support Aboriginal rights and title seek to ameliorate long outdated colonial legacies by incorpo-rating the Indigenous peoples’ laws and rights into our Constitutional framework.

After studying American history, I came to realize that reconciliation is tough. The same sort of debate occurs in the United States respecting other groups seeking equality, including Black Americans, women’s groups and Mexican Americans. There is always going to be a “troll under the bridge” who sees the proposals for rec-onciling inequalities as a threat to their position of privi-lege they don’t realize they have. However, I think the progress we are making toward reconciliation will lead to great changes, and one day, Aboriginal Canadians will be partners in a just society.

Magazine celebrates all things localLindsay Chungthe chronicle

Lesley Lorenz is combining her love for farming, market-ing and all things local as publisher of Island Farm & Garden maga-zine.

In the magazine, Lo-renz shares stories of what is or isn’t work-ing for them on their farm and interviews respected local pro-fessionals. Filled with profiles, features, in-formative articles, pho-tos, recipes and more, Island Farm & Gar-den is published five times a year.

Lorenz is the publish-er, while her husband, Mark Drysdale, is the general manager. They operate out of their five-acre farm in Yel-low Point.

Lorenz is the former owner of Nanaimo Magazine, while Drys-dale is manager of the Ladysmith Chamber of Commerce and for-mer executive director of Tourism Nanaimo. Lorenz sold Nanaimo Magazine five years ago and started Island Farm & Garden two years ago this Septem-ber.

Lorenz and Drysdale wanted to farm, but they didn’t have a lot of background in farm-ing. Drysdale grew up on a farm as a kid and had great memories of the farm but hadn’t established one, while Lorenz had never farmed but was really interested in garden-ing and was open to new experiences. As they were doing their research and looking at properties, Lorenz says they found a lot

of information from the U.K. or the States, but not much of what they found was local. “On the other hand,

when you talked to local people, they had tons of expert advice,” she said.

Lorenz thought there were probably other people out there who were looking for this kind of local informa-tion, and the magazine was born.“There were all kinds

of things we would run into, and I would write about them, and I was blogging, so I thought I’d turn it into work,” said Lorenz. “I try to write from the point of view that ‘we’re trying this, and sometimes it doesn’t work out’

… we’re not trying to paint ourselves as ex-perts.”

Lorenz and Drysdale have ducks, goats and chickens on their farm, and they grow vegeta-bles and herbs, toma-toes and garlic. Lorenz makes hanging bas-kets, and they recently added bees to the farm.

Lorenz finds people in agriculture are in-credibly nice, and she really enjoys connect-ing with the people she gets to work with.“They’re really happy

to give you their ad-vice or even give you a hand,” she said. “Is-landers, and farmers in particular, they’re just really nice people.”

Lorenz says one of the great things about working on the maga-zine is how everyone helps each other — they’ll often work with the people who adver-tise in the magazine or about whom they write when they need

something on the farm, and local businesses are very supportive of the magazine.“I really believe in lo-

cal — that’s so impor-tant,” she said.

Lorenz says many of her story ideas come from readers, who ask her questions or suggest ideas. As well, Lorenz keeps track of events across Van-couver Island such as fairs and wine tours and finds stories to tie in with them, and she writes about what they need to do on their farm.“The next thing I have

to do, I figure someone else will too,” she said with a laugh.

Lorenz started offer-ing a digital version of the magazine this past January, and since then, a lot of people have been reading from all over the world.“That is something I

didn’t expect, which I really like,” she said.

“Because of that, I start-ed doing a lot of agri-tourism pieces. Up to that point, I was really writing for the farmer, and now I’m writing for the tourist coming to see the farm.”

Lorenz says the big-gest challenge with producing the maga-zine is how much man-power she is able to offer.“I have to be very cre-

ative,” she said, noting she does a lot of design work, writing, photog-raphy and advertising sales herself. “The amount of work I have to put into it probably the biggest challenge.”

Since May, Kayla Werezak has been in-terning with Lorenz, and Lorenz says that has been a great help.“It’s so terrific to have

Kayla doing some interning,” she said.

“Kayla is my prime vol-unteer, and sometimes people will offer a pho-tograph or article, and

that’s so appreciated.”Lorenz says her

favourite part of pub-lishing the magazine, by far, is the people she meets.“People are real-

ly, really nice,” she said. “They’re helpful, they’re kind, they’re resilient, and they’re totally wonderful.”

Lorenz and Drysdale currently distribute 10,000 copies of the magazine Island-wide at livestock feed stores and garden centers and all Vancouver Is-land Regional Library branches.

The magazine is also available digitally at www.islandfarmand garden.ca.

In between issues, Lorenz shares anything topical through blog-ging, Facebook and Twitter.

Lorenz hopes the magazine provides helpful information, inspiration and even a few laughs.“I guess I just like to

share my experiences and think [readers] will take something from it, whether it’s laughing at when I screw up, or realiz-ing ‘oh, I didn’t know I could save tomato seeds,’” she said. “Also, for my advertisers ... I think it also helps peo-ple get their message out. I provide a way to do that, a conduit for sharing information that maybe isn’t there otherwise.”“It’s really nice we

have people support-ing agriculture through our magazine,” she added. “I have quite a few people who are consistently support-ive, and I totally appre-ciate that.”

Lesley Lorenz and her husband, Mark Drysdale, farm five acres in Yellow Point and publish Island Farm & Garden magazine. Lindsay Chung

It’s looking like the Fox & Hounds will open in Ladysmith this fall.

Ladysmith council recently agreed to issue a development permit to permit al-terations to the ex-isting building at 11 High St. to enable the British pub-style restaurant owned by Jane and Trevor Iv-ens to move forward, and a lot of renova-tion work has been going into the build-ing, known to many as the old Home Hardware building.

Jane Ivens says they are on track to open this fall, and they are looking at opening at the end of September or in early October.“It’s still in progress,” she said. “Work is go-ing ahead, and we’re doing lots and lots of renovations. It’s defi-nitely on track. We haven’t had any major,

major delays so far.”Ivens says the res-

taurant, which will be open every day of the week, will be very similar to the Fox & Hounds they oper-ated on Milton Street in Nanaimo.“The Fox & Hounds in Nanaimo was a cozy, full-on British pub-style restau-rant,” she said. “It’s a British menu, and because we’re a pub-style restaurant, it means we welcome children as well.”

Ivens says service will be very casual, as diners will come in, wander up to the bar where there will be a chalkboard menu and order their food, and they can pick out their table.

There will be 16 draft beers, and the menu will be the traditional Fox & Hounds menu, such as bangers and mash, ploughman’s lunches, steak and kidney pie and shepherd’s pie,

explained Ivens.“We’re more about the beer and English food, that’s our forte,” she said. “It should definitely remind all those Brits of back home.”

There will be a con-ference/party room inside with space for about 30 people, which will be great for Christmas parties and events, explained Ivens.

The Ivens family is proposing minor exterior alterations to the building to ac-commodate a pub-style restaurant with 80 seats. The upper floor will be used as a residence and office, according to a staff report from Felicity Adams, the Town of Ladysmith’s director of development ser-vices.According to Adams,

the owners are pro-posing minor chang-es to the building façade that respect the existing style of

the building, and the colour scheme will not change. They are proposing reducing the size of the exist-ing front windows with additional siding in the same red paint colour, adding a win-dow on the east end of the front façade, adding five evenly-spaced windows on the first floor on the east façade, and add-ing window trim that would be a consistent colour and design as the existing windows.

The proposed sig-nage, which adheres to the Town’s signage bylaw, includes a hand-crafted project-ing sign and large fascia sign. Signs will be front-lit by goose-neck lighting.

In terms of parking, restaurant use re-quires the provision of one stall per five seats. Sixteen park-ing stalls are required for the restaurant, while the residence and office on the up-

per level also require the provision of two stalls, for a total of 18 required parking stalls. Adams says the building has a parking credit of 18 due to the building size and the past re-tail use. One parking stall is required to be located on site for the residence.

The Town’s Heritage Revitalization Ad-visory Commission has reviewed the pro-posed façade modifi-cations and signage and approved the proposed changes.

Fox & Hounds will be the fourth mid-Island pub owned by the Ivens family, along with the Pig and Whistle and Fibber Magee’s in Nanaimo, and the Black Goose Inn in Parksville.

The Ivenses will be providing updates on their Facebook page, The Fox and Hounds, as they get a clearer picture of their exact opening date.

Just Because

Future Macular Degeneration Treatment

Could drops replace injections?

Macular degeneration is a visually devastating disease that primarily affects poeple over the age of 75. Waste products produced by the retina are normally fi ltered out of the eye. In macular degeneration, however, the waste products are not properly fi ltered from the eye

and are left in the retina. In early stages of the disease, pockets of waste product begin to build up in the outer layers of the retina. As the disease progresses, those pockets get bigger, leading to distorted vision. Eventually, the retinal tissue begins to die and tiny blood vessels start to grow into the retina in an attempt to keep the retina alive. Once these tiny vessels begin to grow, the macular degeneration becomes “wet macular degeneration” as opposed to “dry macular degeneration”.

Wet macular degeneration is the most visually devastating form of macular de-generation. It’s thought that if the formation of new blood vessels can be stopped, then vision will be preserved. So, in an effort to preserve vision, doctors have been injecting anti-growth hormone, called anti-VEGF, into the eyes of wet macu-lar degeneration patients. The anti-VEGF targets the newly growing blood vessels and prevents them from growing more. Typically, patients will get anti-VEGF injec-tions into the eye once every 1-3 months. Patients may be getting injections once a month for 1-2 years depending on their specifi c cases. Side effects of these injections are relatively low, but some patients report pain or discomfort. Because a needle is inserted into the eye in order to deliver the drugs, there is a potential risk of a bacterial infection in the eye which can have devastating consequences including blindness.

One way to avoid these potential complications is to fi nd a drug delivery system that wouldn’t involve injection. Until now, there hasn’t been any drug that was able to penetrate through the cornea all the way back to the retina. Recently, there was an exciting study done on rat corneas that could possibly lead to a topical anti-VEGF drop. Scientists put a new compound onto rat corneas and were able to measure therapeutic quantities of it in the retinal tissue. While this study only shows that this new compound may be used as a carrier for anti-VEGF in the future, it is still quite exciting to think that one day macular degeneration could be managed with topical drops rather than injections! Until then, protect your maculas by wearing UV protection, not smoking and eating plenty of green leafy vegetables!

Accordion Days are comingLindsay ChungTHE CHRONICLE

This weekend, music fans will celebrate an instrument that dates back to the early 1800s and can be heard in many different genres dur-ing the annual Chemainus Accordion Days festival.

Chemainus Accordion Days takes place Friday, Aug. 8 and Saturday, Aug. 9 and is presented by the Chemainus Valley Cultural Arts Society.

It all starts Friday, Aug. 8 in Old Town Chemainus. The Gypsy Belles will per-form from 11 a.m. to noon at Twisted Sisters Tea House, from 1-2 p.m. at The Book Nook and from 2-3 p.m. at Top Hat Antiques.

On Saturday, Aug. 9, the music moves to Waterwheel Park. From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., there will be performanc-es by The Acchords, Rose Menzi, Heart & Soul, Mary Ross and Tony Brouwers, Don Hall, Bruce Bakker & Friends, and The Victoria Ac-cordion Club.Admission is by donation.Jim Hamilton of The Ac-

chords lines up performers

for the event and says he tries to bring new perform-ers to Chemainus each year.

This will be the second year that Dan Hall performs, and Hamilton says a lot of people enjoyed listening to the Vic-toria Accordion Club — of which the Gypsy Belles are members — last year.

On this year’s bill is well-known accordion player Mary Ross.“She plays a lot of Scottish material, but she can play pretty much anything,” said Hamilton. “She’s terrific.”

Hamilton has been play-ing accordion since he was in his teens or early 20s, al-though he got away from it for a while during his work-ing years.

In Vancouver, he joined the Enniskillen Accordion Band, which was taught by Bob Millar, whose sons George and Will are members of the Irish Rovers. Through the marching band, Hamil-ton met the other members of The Acchords, and they formed a band. Last year, the band went from a foursome to a trio, with Hamilton, Lyn-da Little — whom Hamilton

calls a mainstay of The Ac-chords — and Rose Menzi. Hamilton and Little also perform as a duo as Heart & Soul.

Hamilton says Accordion Days is one of many festivals celebrating accordion music.“Accordion festivals are all about getting together with people you have gotten to know over the years and jamming with people,” he said, adding some festivals also include competitions.

“It’s all about fun with music and camaraderie.”

Hamilton says accordion festivals also serve to keep the popularity of the instru-ment alive.“To the average person, it might seem the accordion is a thing of the past, but, re-ally, when you’re involved in it, it’s surprising how many people are accordion play-ers.”As well, Hamilton hopes

the festival helps Chemainus economically.“If people haven’t been there and if there is any way this attracts people to the town, they have a lot to see and do there,” he said.

The Gypsy Belles are back in Chemainus this weekend for Accordion Days. They’ll be performing around Old Town throughout the day Friday, Aug. 8. FILE PHOTO

Hodgins wins second world titleLindsay ChungTHE CHRONICLE

For the second straight year, Lindsay Hodgins is the top ju-nior ladies horseshoe player in the world.

The 17-year-old from Duncan, who plays with the Ladysmith Horseshoe Club and with the Victoria Horseshoe Club la-dies’ league, recently returned from Buf-falo, New York, where she won the National Horseshoe Pitchers Association (NHPA) World Tournament.

The world champion-ship is a round-robin tournament, and 36 juniors competed this year. They were ranked according to their ringer percent-age, and the girls and boys were mixed in the first round, explained Lindsay’s grandfather, Wayne Hodgins.

After the first round, the top six girls

— based on average — advanced to play for the world champion-ship title.

Lindsay went in ranked first and ended up winning the tourna-ment, just like last year,

when she won her first world championship in St. George, Utah, af-ter being ranked first. Last year, Lindsay be-came the first pitcher from B.C. to claim a world title and the third Canadian girl to win in the last 50 years.

Lindsay says she was kind of surprised to win the World Tour-nament for a second straight year.“It was tougher this

year than last year,” noted Wayne.

Lindsay agreed, noting it was tough because the second-ranked girl, a pitcher from Ontario, was there this year, and the courts were raised and were clay.

The 2014 NHPA World Tournament is the latest addition to a long list of victories for Lindsay, who grad-uated from Cowichan

Secondary School this past spring. She won the Canadian champi-onship two years ago and has won the Island Championships for the past three years, the B.C. champion-ships for the past two years and the Interna-tional Tournament in the past two years.

This year, Lindsay has already won the Island Championship, the World Tournament and the International Tournament. In two weeks, she’s leaving to compete in the Cana-dian Championships, and later in August, she’ll compete in the B.C. Championships.

Last year, she didn’t go to the Canadian Championships, so this year will be the first time she has the chance to win all five tournaments, ex-plained Wayne.

Lindsay is currently ranked top in B.C. out of any horseshoe play-er of any gender or age, and she is ranked sec-ond in Horseshoe Can-ada’s ladies’ rankings, according to Wayne.

Lindsay is feeling confident leading up to the Canadian and

B.C. championships.Wayne says Lindsay

is always looking for-ward to her next tour-nament and can’t wait to get out there.“She just waits to play the next one,” he said.

Since April, Lindsay has only gone one weekend without a tournament.

Lindsay has been playing against ladies all year, not juniors, and she says that has helped her a lot.

Lindsay has autism, and Wayne believes horseshoes helps her a lot.“It’s really opened her

up,” he said. “Even when it’s over, she doesn’t want to go home.”

The Hodginses have a horseshoe pit at home, and Lindsay throws about 250 shoes a day.

When asked what she likes about horse-shoes, Lindsay says it’s the travelling and meeting people.

Right now, Lindsay has a 65 per cent av-erage, meaning about six out of 10 shoes are ringers, which Wayne describes as “very good.”

Greg SakakiTHE CHRONICLE

The season came down to an all-Island final, and Mid-Isle FC just missed a perfect ending to summer soccer. The Mid-Isle Highlanders lost to the Victoria Highlanders 1-0 in the Pacific Coast Soccer League’s Challenge Cup final July 26-27 in Penticton.“They worked very hard, they bat-

tled and they were unlucky not to win,” said Bill Merriman, coach of Mid-Isle FC. “It was definitely not from a lack of workrate.”

Vic broke the 0-0 tie midway through the second half and held on.“We had quite a bit of pressure in

their 18 box, most of the game, actu-ally,” said Merriman. “Their keeper was very strong.”

The Nanaimo-Ladysmith team

won its semifinal 1-0 over West Van FC, with Blaze Roberts scoring the goal and Scott Brown registering the shutout.

The Mid-Isle FC side didn’t leave the championship tournament emp-ty-handed, as the team received a trophy as regular-season champs after a 10-1-1 season, and Roberts received a Golden Boot statuette as the division’s top goal scorer with 12 tallies.

Merriman called 2014 a “big posi-tive year” for the club, as it was sup-ported by other soccer clubs in the area, and players came from various sides and jelled as one team.“Nobody was disappointed,” said

the coach. “You’re always disap-pointed you lost, but everybody had a good year, and I think everybody knows that we’re trying to build something here.”

Safety Tip:Crashes involving driver fatigue peak in the summer, due in part to hot weather and long road trips. Get enough rest before you head out. If you feel drowsy, pull over safely and take a nap. The

only cure for drowsiness is sleep – it’s better to arrive late than not at all.

Question of the WeekThe posted speed limit has been raised by 10 km/h on many major highways in B.C. If you have driven some of those stretches, have you found cars passing you beyond the raised limit?

Challenged by one Hellcat of a muscle carPortland, Oregon – Do I take the red key or the black key?The black key limits horsepower to 500. Jaws drop. If you put it in valet mode, rpms are limited to 4,000. Gosh, I really hope I can take the red key…This Matrix-like conundrum is a good one to have. Take the safer route (black key) if you’d rather ease off on harness-ing the gargantuan horsepower of the 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat. It’s the most powerful production Chrysler V8, as well as the most powerful produc-tion muscle car to date, so it needs to be treated with respect.But then again, the red key will allow me to tame this muscled feline one shift at a time, whether through the 6-speed manual or an 8-speed auto-matic.Looks like the decision has been made for me. Red key is sitting pretty in the centre console. And it’s in track mode. Electronic intervention is minimal. I

have access to all 707 horsepower and I’m at the Portland International Race-way. I’d say this will be a heavenly day.With a new look on the inside and outside, the 2015 Dodge Challenger is ready to take on its Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro competition head-on.According to market research, two thirds of Challenger buyers say they don’t cross-shop anything else. That said, those who did cross-shop, and decided to go in another direction, attributed it to its archaic interior. That problem is no more. Now Challengers come with a driv-er-centric and cool-looking interior setup. Whether you have the standard 5-inch touchscreen or the optional 8.4-inch (the biggest touchscreen in its segment), you can’t lose. Then there’s a new 7-inch multi-view driver informa-tion display instrument cluster that adds to the chic execution; standard

on all models. Not to mention, it displays all the vital stats that you’ll need when driving.Combined with physical buttons – for those who don’t like to control everything by a screen – its evolutionary changes certainly help its cause. A lot.But the heart of the Chal-lenger lies underneath its sheet metal – the curves and edges that were inspired by the ’71 Challenger.When it comes to engine choices, you’re not without options. There are four.

Here’s the skinny: 1) A 3.6L, Pentastar V6 producing 305 horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque2) A 5.7L, V8 HEMI with 372 horse-power (with the 8-speed automatic) 375 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque with the 6-speed manual3) A 6.4L, V8 HEMI with 485 horse-power and 475 lb-ft of torqueLast but not least,4) A supercharged 6.2L, V8 HEMI with 707 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque.All engines except the V6s can be paired with a manual or an automatic. The V6s only come with the 8-speed automatic. Again, no matter what you choose, you’ll come out singing. Back to the road.Having tested all four models – with

different packages – the thing that stood out the most to me is how good of a car it actually is. Even on a quaint suburban drive through a national park where speed limits were posted at 35 mph, I was impressed with its road manners. And considering I had almost 485 horsepower (with the 6.4L engine), it was as docile as a lethargic lion, yet ready to pounce when the opportunity presented itself.Both track time and road time added to the

multi-dimensional admiration for the two-door.Sure, visibility isn’t ideal. The C pillars are huge and cut into sightlines when looking rearward. The rear seats don’t offer a ton of legroom – especially for the individual stuck in the middle – but heck, it does have room for five.Fuel economy, well, you’re not buying this car for its estimated numbers! That’s for sure.But it does offer an emotional experi-ence. It turns heads and is sexy as hell.Even the V6 on the track did a bang up job. And with a starting MSRP of $28,995, the Canadian-built Challenger is up to the task, will kick butts, and take names. All at the same time.Visit www.dodge.ca for more details.
