Anthony Cateaux � nds ideas in nature P. 3P. 5

Whatever day teachers back to work, students will start one day laterKarl YuTHE CHRONICLE

The possibility of the B.C. teachers’ strike spilling into the scheduled first week of school is throwing a wrench into the Nanaimo-Ladysmith School Dis-trict (SD68)’s preparations for the start of the school year.

Donna Reimer, school district spokeswoman, said school is scheduled to start Wednesday, Sept. 3 but whether classes com-mence is absolutely dependent on what takes place at the bar-gaining table. The school dis-trict is ultimately hoping for a resolution but the uncertainty is making it difficult to make con-tingency plans and get ready for 2014-15, she said.“The biggest problem that we foresee is [this] week is the week that we take new registra-tions and the week that parents let us know if they aren’t com-ing back to their school ... so for schools to know exactly which kids they have, which ones are coming, what the new ones are, how much space they have, if schools are behind picket lines next week, then our start-up will be a bit more difficult,” Reimer said on Aug. 28.

Rather than having parents heading to schools to register, crossing picket lines in the pro-cess, Reimer said the school dis-trict is recommending they call the school and talk to the prin-cipal.

She said the school district board office has been behind picket lines since July 20 and, as a result, maintenance work on district schools has not been

completed, as related staff don’t wish to cross lines.“We have stopped watering our fields and they haven’t been maintained, so the fields might not be in the shape we’d like them to be, schools may not have all the updating projects that we would’ve liked to have done in the summer,” she said.

In a letter to parents and stu-dents, SD68 superintendent Dave Hutchinson stated that whatever happens at the bargaining table, students will not attend on the first day that teachers and sup-port staff are back in school.

Students will attend on the second day that teachers and support staff are back in school, using the schedule that was pre-viously planned for Wednesday, Sept. 3.

Hutchinson warned that there may be extenuating circum-stances at some schools, which will mean a change in the planned schedule.

Hutchinson encourages par-ents and students to keep visit-ing www.sd68.bc.ca for updates.“We face a unique situation in our school district, because there have been pickets at our District Office and many schools for most of the summer,” Hutchin-son states in his letter. “Support staff have not been able to re-port for work and we have not been able to carry out the many tasks that are essential for a safe and orderly start-up of schools. For that reason, we will use the first day that teachers and sup-port staff are back at work to plan and organize school open-ing. Please note that these plans

Stz’uminus First Nation Chief John Elliott was a good sport when he took his turn on the dunk tank during the grand re-opening of the Oyster Bay Store at the corner of Oyster Sto-Lo Road and the Trans-Canada Highway Thursday, Aug. 28. The dunk tank was a fundraiser, and all the money raised will go back into the community. The grand re-opening celebration also featured a bouncy castle, raf� es, a fundraising car wash, hot dogs and on-site broadcasting by Coast FM. The celebration was put on by the Oyster Bay Store and sponsored by Core-Mark, Coca Cola, Pepsi and Van Houtte Coffee. LINDSAY CHUNG

In brief Cateaux inspired by natureLindsay ChungTHE CHRONICLE

Inspired by the forest around him, Anthony Ca-teaux turns cold, hard metal into works of art in his Yellow Point studio.

Cateaux, a blacksmith artisan who owns AC De-signs Ironwork, has been turning to nature for ideas since moving his fam-ily and his studio from Toronto to Yellow Point eight years ago.“We came here on vaca-tion, and I fell in love with the Island,” he said. “The whole family did.”

Cateaux has worked as a blacksmith artisan since 1994 and has shipped his original work all around the world. He started AC Designs Ironwork in 1997.

Cateaux, who is a mem-ber of the Vancouver Blacksmith Association and the North American Blacksmith Association, produces three types of works: commissioned functional art objects such as tables and chairs, unique one-of-a-kind ar-tistic pieces such as sculp-tures and wall-mounted art, and much-sought-af-ter home furnishings such as mirrors, obelisks, tables and much more. Whatever the item, all pieces are painstakingly hand worked and forged.

In Toronto, Cateaux worked mainly with land-scapers and interior de-signers. While studying landscape architecture at Ryerson University in Toronto, Cateaux did an apprenticeship with an Austrian blacksmith and became very interested in design.“I’m always happy figur-ing out a design dilemma,” he said.Working with others

whose work he admired, Cateaux learned about blacksmithing and forg-ing iron, and he made a lot of unique pieces of

hand-forged furniture. He worked with another blacksmith in Santa Cruz before returning to On-tario and opening his own shop, which he ran in downtown Toronto for six years.

Cateaux learned in a coke forge shop, and he now uses a gas forge, which stays at a constant heat level.

Cateaux says his work has kind of changed direc-tion since he moved to the Island, moving a bit away from the furniture.“I’ve started to make more artistic pieces, piec-es that are not as function-al,” he said.

Since moving here, one of the directions Cateaux has been going is one that leads to the creation of unique birdhouses.

One of Cateaux’s bird-houses was chosen by Anne Schmauss for her c r i t i c a l l y - a c c l a i m e d

coffee table hardcover, Birdhouses of the World. Schmauss searched the world over to find the most interesting creations and included Cateaux’s Scream birdhouse in her book. His birdhouse was then mentioned in the LA

Times.Cateaux’s birdhouse

was inspired by the Ed-vard Munch painting “The Scream.”

They had cut down an old alder tree in the front of their yard, and it had a hollow centre and a woodpecker had knocked a hole in it. That’s all the inspiration Cateaux need-ed.“I thought, ‘wow, this

would make a neat bird-house,’” he said.

Cateaux put a roof on it, and turned it into a face, with the woodpecker hole turned into a mouth, and he put copper hands around the face.

Cateaux put this bird-house online on Houzz, an interior design web-site, and Schmauss called him because she’d come across Cateaux’s image online and really liked it.

Cateaux says a lot of his ideas come from nature.

“I like to incorporate natural things in my work, raw materials like wood and stone,” he said. “Often times, I’ll just see some-thing and get an idea.”

Cateaux loves to work with iron.“I love the longevity of it,” he said. “I love the fact I’m able to make something and it will stand the test of time. That’s always in-trigued me. I like the idea of leaving my mark, not being forgotten.”

He also loves the pro-cess of taking something from an idea to a reality.“I love the idea of being able to sit down and have an idea and draw it on pa-per and then, the next day, be able to execute it,” he said. “It’s awesome to be able to see something as an idea and then have it as a physical form. I also like that people like your work.”

Cateaux likes to make one-of-a-kind original pieces.“I did a lot of custom

work in Ontario, so I’m al-ways happy to work with people if they have ideas,” he said.

Cateaux launched a new garden collection inspired by elements of nature this spring, and he has been showcasing his work dur-ing The Artist’s Garden Studio & Garden Tour, which has been running all summer and continues through to Sept. 14.

Cateaux is opening his studio at 3307 DeCourcy Dr. to the public week-days from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The studio is closed Thursdays and open by appointment on Satur-days and Sundays. Visi-tors will have the rare opportunity to watch Ca-teaux while he forges and hammers metal into art.

could change if there is a differ-ent schedule set through bar-gaining or province-wide by the Ministry of Education.”

Mike Ball, president of the Nanaimo District Teachers’ As-sociation, estimated a soft dead-line of Aug. 29 as a timeframe a deal would have to be reached by in order to avoid a delay to

the start of the school year.In School District 79 (Cowichan

Valley), superintendent Joe Rhodes has sent a letter to par-ents stating that if a settlement is reached, the expectation is that all public schools in the Cowichan Valley School District will be open Tuesday, Sept. 2. “If a settlement is not reached, the school district could be be-

hind picket lines and no regular instruction would be available,” he wrote. “If this is the case, I would ask that parents not send their children to school and en-courage parents to make alter-nate childcare arrangements as needed.”

Like Hutchinson, Rhodes ad-vises parents to consult the dis-trict’s website, which is www.

Peter W. Ruslandthe chronicle

A Chemainus skate-park approved last week is just the tip of a larger recreational-residential project be-ing mulled for Mural Town’s former elemen-tary-school site.

Up to 13 residential lots, a dog park, wash-rooms, community gar-dens, berms, landscap-ing, picnic tables and more could grace the 3.5-acre site handed to North Cowichan by the school board in the spring.“We have a bunch of

ideas but haven’t final-ized those plans yet,” Mayor Jon Lefebure told the Cowichan News Leader Picto-rial on Aug. 25. “It would be a new, cen-trally located park for Chemainus.”

He figured North Co-wichan’s new council, to be elected Nov. 15, will debate budgets for

the site’s next move, including demolishing the old school.

Meanwhile, taxpay-ers’ $350,000 tab to design and build the skatepark for skate-boarders, cyclists and scooter riders has budget approval to use capital-project re-serves, he explained.

Funds for any future facilities, and leveling the old school, will come from selling up to 13 home lots, staff outlined.

Councillors basically agreed site options had been sufficiently debated, noise and other worries can be solved, and the whole park could become a community hub.

They unanimously passed staff recom-mendations to build the skatepark, and start as soon as pos-sible. Staff is to issue a construction tender, in line with designs by Mark van der Zalm and

Associates, in collabo-ration with New Line Skate Parks.

The skatepark is tar-geted beside the bas-ketball court.

Ernie Mansueti, parks and recreation manag-er, explained the park

— debated since about 1997 — will see a mix

of skateable terrain us-ing the existing slope.“The skatepark hard-

scape is comprised of approximately 50 per cent street-style terrain (ledges, rails, stairs, sets etc.), and 50 per cent transition-style terrain (banks, transitions, pockets, hips etc.),” his e-mail says. “This balance of terrain provides users a variety of terrain to progress and develop on, and offers some-thing for all types of riders.”

There are about 530 school-age rid-ers in the Chemainus area, estimated North Cowichan CAO Dave Devana.

Detailed design and working drawings should be done by Oct. 1, followed by a month of tender preparation and tendering, then several weeks of con-struction approvals, he explained. Construc-tion will take nine to 13 weeks.

While some neigh-bours cited noise, traffic, crime, and dropping property val-ues would stem from the new park, others pointed to positives.“Our equity will be

jeopardized,” said Lily Young, owner of a Seaview Place B&B.

Some folks felt council’s residential-lot profits could be around $1 million, stating it is fiscally ir-responsible to spend tons of money on a skatepark used by a limited number of kids.“Please put it where

it is welcome,” urged Bernice Ramsden. “We older folks have other needs.”

But Neil Owen dis-missed ideas of re-opening the skatepark-site debate.“It’s important the

skatepark be in the centre of the commu-nity.”

Skatepark supporter Lynda Poirier said rid-ers are future voters, and the park will pay off in social and active lifestyles, while boost-ing community sus-tainability.

Deb Savory Wright of KidSport Cowichan noted sports are life skills, the old school site has high visibil-ity, and riding competi-tions will bring money to town.


Skatepark is just the start at old elementary school site

It’s important that the

skatepark be in the

centre of the community.

Lindsay Chungthe chronicle

Thirty-four years after Terry Fox was forced to end his Mara-thon of Hope, people across the country continue to run in his name every September.

Inspired by Fox’s de-termination and dedi-cation to finding a cure for cancer, communi-ties gather to celebrate his legacy and support cancer research. Lady-smith’s Terry Fox Run will be held Sunday, Sept. 14 at the Frank Jameson Community Centre (FJCC) at 810 Sixth Ave., starting with registration at 10 a.m. The run starts at 11 a.m. and features a 2.5-kilometre route, a five-kilometre route, a 7.5-kilometre route and a 10-kilometre route.

There is no entry fee and no minimum pledge, and the Terry Fox Run is suitable for walking, running, wheeling and riding.

The Terry Fox Run is

non-competitive and is a community participa-tion event rather than a race.“It’s for everybody;

you don’t have to be an athlete,” said Anita McLeod, the Ladysmith Parks, Recreation and Culture community ser-vices co-ordinator. “It’s an event as much as a run. It’s called a run be-cause Terry ran, but it’s for anyone. It’s more about our community coming together.”

The route does not go up and down the hills of Ladysmith. McLeod says there’s a bit of a hill on Brown Drive, but that’s it.“It’s a very, very acces-

sible event,” she said.Terry Fox was diag-

nosed with osteogenic sarcoma (bone cancer) in his right leg in 1977 and had his leg ampu-tated above the knee. While in hospital, he was so overcome by the suffering of other cancer patients that he decided to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research.

Fox called his journey the Marathon of Hope.

In 1980, Fox ran an average of 42 kilome-tres (26 miles) every day for 143 days. He was forced to end his run Sept. 1, 1980, when the cancer spread to his lungs.

By Feb. 1, 1981, Fox’s dream of raising $1 for every Canadian was re-alized — the Terry Fox Marathon of Hope fund totaled $24.17 million. Fox died in June 1981 at the age of 22.

Carrying on Fox’s dream, the Terry Fox Run raises money for the Terry Fox Founda-tion, an independent foundation with a sin-gle mission to support innovative cancer re-search. The foundation supports close to $20 million in discovery-based research each year in Canada.

Eighty-four cents of every dollar raised by the foundation goes to cancer research.“The Terry Fox Foun-

dation is a very worthy place for [the money]

to go because their ad-ministration fees are the lowest of almost any charity in Canada, and their funds go to research for all kinds of cancer,” said McLeod.

“It’s innovative, cutting-edge research into can-cer, and much of it is in the Lower Mainland.”

Posters and pledge sheets are going out into the community, and pledge sheets will be available at the Van-couver Island Regional Library, City Hall, the FJCC, 49th Parallel Grocery and Corona-tion Mall. Participants can also register online

at www.terryfox.org and create fundraising pages.A limited number of

the 2014 Terry Fox Run T-shirts are now available at the FJCC.

McLeod says they are still looking for volunteers for the day of the event, and they

would really appreci-ate course marshals at high-visibility inter-sections to let drivers know there is an event going on.

For more informa-tion or to volunteer, contact Anita McLeod at 250-245-6427 or [email protected].

The Terry Fox Run is ‘an event as much as a run’

The month-long Agri-cultural Land Com-mission consulta-

tion closed Aug. 22, and the B.C. government is compil-ing the feedback received from a province-wide tour and invitation to comment.

I can’t tell you much about the official input. The consultation sessions were by invitation only, with no media allowed, and the submissions via website are also not public.

I reached Agriculture Min-ister Norm Letnick as he was traveling around B.C. conducting his own meet-ings with farmers. He’s not saying much, except that a summary of findings should be made public in Septem-ber as the government con-siders new regulations.

The aim of this exercise is to consider relaxing rules around secondary farmland uses in the Interior, Koo-tenay and North regions, as well as food processing and retail sales of food and beverages on farmland. Also under consideration

is allowing breweries and distilleries, as wine and ci-der production are now al-lowed, and relaxing rules to permit more off-farm prod-ucts to be sold from farms.

Letnick defended the 30-day summer consultation as adequate. It’s based on 11 questions developed with staff, farm groups and local government. He’s also not counting how many e-mails were stacked up by proponents or critics.

“I’m not conducting a plebiscite,” Letnick said. “What I’m trying to do is come up with the best bal-ance of recommendations to make to government that can hold their own based on the idea and the poten-tial positive and negative consequences.”

NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham was more forthcoming. She was invit-ed to the formal sessions, and won’t talk about them directly. But she’s not back-ing away from her criti-cisms.

The government is pro-posing to bypass the Agri-cultural Land Commission for several kinds of deci-

sions, including subdivision for family use or into prop-erties of 160 acres or more.

“I think the general idea was that people trust the ALC to make that deci-sion, and it should still go through the commission,” Popham said. “Actually the commission has been mak-ing those decisions anyway, and I think they’ve been quite fair when somebody applies.”

She said farmers also aren’t sold on the notion of easing the rules for second-ary businesses.

“You will already find situations where there’s, let’s say a welding shop or something like that at-tached to somebody’s resi-dence who lives on ALR land,” Popham said. “That sort of stuff has been al-lowed, but it’s always had to go through the ALC or some sort of process that’s been in place. This leaves that process out, and so I think that’s the problem people are having.”

She noted that non-farm activities have a way of growing until they become the main business.

A reader who attended the Kelowna session said even winery operators aren’t thrilled about the proposal to enlarge retail space and allow sales of wine or beer not made on site. He said “not one” participant there liked the idea of increasing industrial activity such as food processing or retail-ing. And he agreed with Po-pham that the ALC is doing a good job with subdivision applications.

Popham also clarified the situation with the leased craft gin distillery on her own Vancouver Island farm. It started as a winery, and the conversion needed only local government ap-proval because the produc-tion facility was already considered and taxed as light industrial. Victoria Gin has been a model for the government’s push to al-low distilleries, breweries or meaderies on farmland. Given the B.C. Liberals’ love of liberalized liquor, I expect that change to go through.

Ladysmith Sportsmen’s Club grateful for funding for hatchery water line upgrades

Editor:

The Ladysmith Sportsmen’s Club Bush Creek Hatchery site has received funding from the Pa-cific Salmon Foundation for hatchery water line upgrades.

The Bush Creek Hatchery, operated by the Ladysmith Sportsmen’s Club volunteers, is located on TimberWest land on Bush Creek.

The hatchery has been in operation for 23 years.The project taking place consists of the removal

of original steel pipe, changing the water intake and looking for other water sources, such as a spring-fed well. We would like to add groundwater to our existing water flow from Bush Creek.

We had a very dry fall in 2013, causing low water alarms to go off in early March, as well as freeze ups to the system.

We are hoping by adding an additional water source that we can solve the water volume con-cerns, as well as add warmer groundwater to help aid in salmon rearing.

Thank you to the Pacific Salmon Foundation, TimberWest, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Dr. Clough and the Ladysmith Sportsmen’s Club volunteers for all your support over the years en-hancing salmon and salmon habitat.

Tour the Black Track Sept. 14Staff Writerthe chronicle

Interested in learning more about the old South Wellington coal min-ing sites?

Well-known Vancouver Island ra-conteur, historian, columnist and ac-tivist Tom Paterson guides tour par-ticipants back through time to the days when South Wellington was a major coal producer of our region and had several mines in operation exploring the riches of the Douglas coal seam during his Black Track Tours, and he’ll be leading one soon on Sunday, Sept. 14.

Twenty spaces are available for this popular heritage walk. Tickets are $30 for one person or $25 each for two or more in a party. All ticket proceeds go to support Friends of Morden Mine in their attempts to preserve Morden’s historic head frame and tipple at Morden Colliery Historic Provincial Park.

E-mail [email protected] or phone 250-714-0377 to reserve your spot.

During the tours, Paterson dis-

cusses the conditions, challenges and culture of these early coal min-ing days, including the unnecessary suffering and deaths caused by lack of adequate safety standards, ac-cording to a press release from the Friends of Morden Mine. He also points out the long-lasting impact South Wellington area mines, as well as many others, had as eco-nomic catalysts for establishment of more permanent communities such as Nanaimo.

The walk is low to moderate in difficulty and typically lasts up to four and a half hours. Participants are urged to wear clothing suitable for forecast weather and sturdy wa-terproof boots or shoes. Sunscreen and protective hats are recommend-ed, and a packed lunch, snacks, wa-ter or juice sufficient for the length of the walk are essential, according to the Friends of Morden Mine.

Participants meet at 10 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 14 at Morden Colliery Provincial Park in front of the head frame. Find a map online at www.mordenmine.com.

Flashes and FloatersSeveral times each week patients call our Optometry clinics with symptoms of new fl oaters in their vision and/or fl ashes of light. The sudden onset of these symptoms can be concerning and for good reason - they can signal something very serious like a retinal tear or detachment. More commonly, they signify an aging change in the vitreous of the eye called a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD). If you or someone you know experiences new fl ashing lights or fl oaters you should see your Optometrist or other eye care profes-sional right away. We always try to fi t any patients with these symptoms into our schedules as emergencies the day they call. So what’s the big deal about these visual phenomena and what can cause them?

It is important to fi rst differentiate fl ashes and fl oaters from other visual symptoms as the causes can be quite different. Perceived fl ashes of light are called photopsias and can last seconds or longer. The fl ashes in the case of a PVD are brief, momentary experiences of light that are often seen off to one side and are usually most noticed in dark environments. Some people describe them as lightning fl ashes. Flashes of light can also be from a migraine aura, in which case the duration is usually around 20-30 minutes, the fl ashes may be large areas of wavy colored lines and are sometimes followed by a headache. Migraine auras are more likely in patients under the age of 40 and often occur in both eyes off to the same side. These symptoms in older patients without a past history of migraine are more concerning since they can actually be warning signs for strokes.

Floaters are small dots, wavy strings or cobweb-shaped shadows that fl oat around in your vision. They will often move out of the way when you try to look at them. These should not be confused with a blind spot, which is a fi xed area of blurry or missing vision that does not move around with eye movements but rather always stays in the same location relative to your direction of gaze. Floaters are the main focus of this ar-ticle but just be aware that a new transient or permanent blind spot in the fi eld of vision should also prompt immediate investigation. Blind spots can be from problems with the retina or could potentially be something like an infarction in the brain or retina or a transient ischemic attack.

The retina is the thin, light sensitive layer of tissue lining the inside of the eye. Next to the retina, making up the main bulk of the eye, is the vitreous. The vitreous is a gel-like substance that maintains the round shape of the eyeball. The vitreous has many fi ne fi bers that connect it to the retina at various locations. As the eye gets older, changes take place and the vitreous becomes more liquefi ed in some areas and it eventually shrinks and pulls away from the retina. This pulling away is known as a posterior vitreous de-tachment (PVD). PVDs are most common in individuals over the age of 50 years and become even more likely with increasing age. PVDs can occur in people of any age especially if there has been head or eye trauma or in those who are nearsighted.

There is usually a sudden increase in new fl oaters noticed when a PVD fi rst occurs because some of the fi ne fi bers that connected the vitreous to the retina are now suspended and fl oating in front of the retina causing shadows. The fl ashes often seen while a PVD is fi rst occurring are due to pulling of the vitreal attachments on the retina which the brain interprets as fl ashes of light.

A PVD in itself is not a harmful condition and requires no treatment. The new fl oaters often break down or become less noticeable with time. However, there are some cases where the shrinking of the vitreous away from the retina actually pulls away a piece of retina. If this occurs it is usually in the far edges of the retina and can be either a hole, tear or break in the retina. The retina may continue to tear and this can lead to a retinal detachment which can cause blindness if not treated promptly. Acute retinal tears and detachments are emergencies and must be assessed and treated by a retinal specialist within a few hours to a few days for the best visual outcomes. Occasionally, a PVD can cause a hole in the macula, the part of the retina responsible for central vision. This can present as distortion or a blind spot near the centre of vision and should be assessed by a retinal specialist.

If you experience new fl oaters, fl ashing lights or a curtain in your vision you should see your eye care professional right away. They will most likely put dilation drops in your eyes (you will need to bring a driver with you to the appointment) to get a wide internal view of your eye. Your eye doctor will be able to fully assess your eye health to determine if you have had a simple PVD or a retinal tear, or if there is another cause for your symptoms. After your thorough eye exam your Optometrist will explain the diagnosis and make any necessary referrals to specialists if there is a retinal tear or detachment. After a PVD fi rst occurs you should carefully monitor for another sudden increase in fl oaters, more fl ashing lights or a curtain in any part of your vision that could mean a new retinal tear or detachment. If any of these things happen you should get in to see your Optometrist again right away. It is always better to be safe than sorry - you only have two eyes!

Advertorial

Staff Writerthe chronicle

Choir director Mary Dennison is a big be-liever in the benefits of singing, and she’s backed up by articles in print, books and interviews on the air-waves.“There is so much evi-

dence now showing the physical, neuro-logical and psycholog-ical benefits of singing in a choir,” she says in a press release. “Not singing in the shower on your own (although that is also wonder-ful!) but singing in the joyful company of oth-ers.”

Dennis has found evidence that singing in a choir boosts your mental health; singing is good for your body and soul; choir mem-bers who sing together have synchronized heartbeats; singing is as beneficial to your health as yoga; sing-ing is helpful to those diagnosed with mul-tiple sclerosis and Par-kinson’s, people who suffer from blocked airways and ravaged lungs, and patients re-covering from strokes.

Dennison says we all know that singing to-gether feels good, and now Stacy Horn shows in her book Imper-fect Harmony: How Singing With Others Changes Your Life that: “Group singing has been scientifically proven to lower stress, relieve anxiety and el-evate endorphins.”

If you are in need of an added boost of endorphins floating through your body, Dennison encourages you to join the SING FOR PURE JOY! Com-munity Choir.

Every voice is wel-come. No experience is needed, and no au-ditions are required

— only the desire to make joyful sounds

together.No written music is

used. All songs are taught in the tradition-al method of call and response.

The choir gathers in Ladysmith at The Lodge on 4th on al-ternate Saturday eve-nings from 6:30-8 p.m., as well as in Coombs and Campbell River and on Quadra Island,

starting on Monday, Sept. 8.

The fall term fee al-lows those enthusias-tic singers to partici-pate at all venues for the same fee.

Contact Mary Den-nison at [email protected] or call 250-285-3764 or 778-348-0477 for more de-tails and specific dates for the term.

Canadian Olympic Women’s Soccer Team members, from left, Diana Matheson, Karina LeBlanc, Melissa Tancredi and Rhian Wilkinson are coming to Forrest Field in Ladysmith Sept. 4 and 5. PHOTOS FROM CANADASOCCER.COM

Olympic soccer stars coming to LadysmithLindsay ChungTHE CHRONICLE

Soccer players in Ladysmith will get a chance to learn from some of this country’s top female players this Thurs-day and Friday.

On Thursday, Sept. 4 and Friday, Sept. 5, the Mid-Isle Soccer Club will host four members of Canada’s Olym-pic bronze medal-winning Women’s National Soccer Team.

Melissa Tancredi, Karina LeBlanc, Diana Matheson and Rhian Wilkinson will be at Forrest Field in Ladysmith to provide two-hour training sessions, photos and auto-graphs for local soccer play-ers.

Additionally, a Leadership Luncheon question-and-an-swer session for registered players will be held at the

Transfer Beach Amphitheater Friday, Sept. 5 at 11:30 a.m.“The players themselves are

who spearheaded this,” said Lynn Krynowsky, whose child plays for Mid-Isle Tier 3 rep and who has been working on getting the Olympic players to Ladysmith for more than a year. “They really wanted to come to the Island. I started talking to them a year ago, and this is one of the places they pointed to. It’s very ex-citing that we get to showcase our island. I’m very thrilled.”

The fee for the luncheon is $15. Registered players and their parents and siblings will get priority, and if there are spaces left, the Leadership Luncheon will be opened up to the public.

Krynowsky says this will be an opportunity to hear from the players and ask them questions.

“They are going to tell their stories,” she said. “Melissa Tancredi is a chiropractic doctor; they’re highly educat-ed. Some of them have been bullied in school, they’ve not made teams.”

Krynowsky says the players will also have their bronze medals from the 2012 Sum-mer Olympics with them.

The fee for the training ses-sion is $165, and a T-shirt will be provided. Players are asked to bring cleats, shin pads and a water bottle.“The clinics are small —

they like to have personal-ized time with the kids,” said Krynowsky.

There will be a training ses-sion for players born from 2005-2009 (U6-U10) Thursday, Sept. 4 from 4-6 p.m.

The training session for players born from 2001-2004 (U11-U14) will be Thursday,

Sept. 4 from 7-9 p.m. There will also be a training

session for players born from 1997-2000 (U15-U18) Friday, Sept. 5 from 4-6 p.m.

All training sessions will be held at Forrest Field in Ladysmith, rain or shine, and Krynowsky says people can come watch the clinics from the sidelines if they are inter-ested.

Tancredi, Wilkinson, LeB-lanc and Matheson will be heading into residency in Vancouver right after this in preparation for the 2015 Women’s World Cup, which is being hosted by Canada.“All these players will be

playing for Canada in June in the World Cup,” noted Krynowsky.

The Ladysmith dragon boat race team, Poetry in M’Ocean, participated in the dragon boat races at Gorgefest in Victoria last month. “Many of us were � rst year paddlers, and we were pleased to improve our time in each race,” states Pam Fraser. “We placed seventh in the women’s division, competing against more experienced teams. However, we believe we had the best spirit and best warm-up routine of any team there.” PHOTO SUBMITTED

FUNERAL HOMESFUNERAL HOMES

Trevorrow, David Victor Noel Beloved father and grandfather, died peacefully in Victoria, B.C. on August 22, 2014; age 81. He is predeceased by Martha, wife of 48 years, and survived by children Mark, Marianne, and Michael, and grandsons Ricardo, Ian, Rory, and Samuel. At David’s request, no formal memorial service will be held.Born and raised in depression-era and war-time London, England, David graduated from HMS Conway naval school in 1949. He then followed an adventurous career as a navigational officer with the Royal Navy and with the Union-Castle steamship line. He immigrated to Canada in 1956, and after a short career with the RCN qualified as a B.C. Land Surveyor in 1960. In the late 1960’s he was one of the founding faculty of the B.C. Institute of Technology. The bulk of his career was spent as a land surveyor, working initially for McElhanney Associates and then starting a private practice in 1983.David and Martha raised their family in Port Moody and Chilliwack, B.C., before retiring to Ladysmith, B.C. in 1994. They were both active in the Ladysmith Yacht Club and took many happy trips along the B.C. coast in their sailboat. A lifelong sailor, David instilled in his children and grandsons a love of storytelling, sailing and adventure. He will be missed by family and friends, and forever remembered for his sense of humour and optimistic outlook.
