Hard work is key to Pellerin’s longevity Tyson Jones THE CHRONICLE

It’s a Saturday night, and the sky has finally gone dark. There’s one woman on the dance floor who has had nearly every man as a partner, and she deserves them — it is her party after all. It’s not until after 11 p.m. that the evening begins to calm, and the dancing ends. “It’s taken me until I was 100 years old to dance with this many men in one night,” says Helen Pellerin “I’ve never had that many partners before.” She has a smile that warms your heart and stories that could outlast the longest evening. Pellerin may be turning 100 in December, but that is a fact easily forgotten once a conversation begins. Pellerin was born in Spirit River, Man., in 1913. From there, her family moved to Cut Knife, Sask., where Pellerin stayed until 1935. It was there that she met and married her husband Oscar. While living on the family farm, Pellerin had to take her turn raising her younger siblings. “I’m from a large family, but of course in those days, everybody had a large family — so we were in style,” says Pellerin, who has 17 brothers and sisters. It was during the Second World War that Pellerin, her husband and their three children made the move out to the West Coast. Oscar worked at the shipyards in Vancouver until the war ended, then the family moved to Campbell River in 1945. Only a year after moving to Campbell River, one of the largest earthquakes in the Island’s history hit— Campbell

but her most memorable events are humbling ones. They’re the personal memories, the ones nobody else got to experience except for the family. “Having children for one thing,” says Pellerin. “Educating them, and raising them. Also the farm. I loved the farm. I would go back to the farm, but when I do come back, I’ll be raising horses — I loved the farm.” It’s hard to believe that not much has changed over 100 years, but hearing it from someone who lived through things read about in history books by many school children makes it that much easier. “Oh my goodness, I don’t know,” says Pellerin. “The world is very much the same, I think. The climate has changed; I think the climate has changed quite a bit.” When asked about computers, she says, “We can have them — I don’t like gadgets.” Hard work. That is what Pellerin says is the key to her good health, and longevity. “If you want to be healthy, start putting up plasterboard that is four feet by eight feet and a quarter-inch thick, and you get one end —a four-foot-10 lady with her husband at the other end, and you hold up your side.

Dry, hot weather prompts fire ban for most of Island Nick Bekolay THE CHRONICLE

Hot, dry weather and a looming risk of thunderstorms prompted the Coastal Fire Centre (CFC) to impose a fire ban for much of Vancouver Island and the South Coast, but not all Cowichan Valley Regional District (CVRD) member municipalities have followed suit. The CFC imposed the ban Aug. 1, at noon and according to a press release issued by the CFC July 31, the ban applies to “all open fires, including campfires” in the CFC’s coverage region — Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, Haida Gwaii and the southern half of coastal mainland B.C. — save for the “Fog Zone” on Vancouver Island’s west coast and Haida Gwaii.

Martin is Citizen of the Year Nick Bekolay THE CHRONICLE

Maureen Martin earned the nod for Citizen of the Year for 2013 as Ladysmith Days opened Saturday morning. Deputy Mayor Gord Horth made the announcement outside the Ladysmith and District Credit Union during the Rotary Club’s pancake breakfast, drawing an elated smile from an unsuspecting Martin. Horth and longtime friend Irene Deschene praised Martin for her contributions to community theatre and civic events prior to Martin receiving a commemorative print from the Ladysmith Ambassadors. Martin was elated, admitting that she was “still shaking” with excitement minutes after receiving the award. Deschene shared a list of Martin’s contributions to her community with the Chronicle. As a member of the Ladysmith Historical Society for 15 years, Martin served two-year terms as both the society’s president and as its vice-president, playing a pivotal role in the founding of the Ladysmith Museum. Martin now serves as the mu-

She served as chair of the Heritage Revitalization Advisory Committee (HRAC), helping to develop Ladysmith’s strategic plan for maintaining its centuryold downtown core. Martin volunteered as secretary of the Ladysmith branch of the Canadian Cancer Society for seven years, founded and reigned as queen of the Ladysmith Ladybugs — a chapter of the Red Hat Society

where “ladies over 50 wear red hats, purple clothes and have fun,” Deschene said — and she’s worked with the Ladysmith Little Theatre for years as an actor, stage manager and as current vice-president. Martin is an avid Aqua Fit enthusiast, book club member, genealogist and gardener, Deschene added, whose devotion to Ladysmith is driven by the fact that “Maureen loves Ladysmith.”

Backyard burning is banned in Ladysmith

Peter W. Rusland the chronicle

Saltair and North Oyster are considering joining other rural Cowichan Valley Regional District (CVRD) areas in a bid to snuff backyard burning. Effective immediately backyard burning is banned for 10 months of the year in the CVRD’s five most southerly rural areas. Regional directors passed landmark Bylaw 3716 to boost air quality and reduce smoke pollution that’s plagued patients, health agents and Cowichan carbon busters for years. But the four remaining areas are considering their options. Saltair joins the Cowichan Lake-Skutz Falls area in sending the bylaw back to its advisory planning commissioners for more comment, CVRD staff says. Meanwhile, Youbou and North Oyster are

holding off on adopting 3716 pending further public discussion of the matter. North Oyster-Diamond director Mary Marcotte said the bylaw allows burning to be conducted during brief periods of the fall and spring, windows of opportunity her constituents “might find very acceptable.” Before 3716 is adopted or rejected by Area H, though, Marcotte said she will solicit feedback from community members “hopefully by early fall.” Saltair director Mel Dorey was unavailable for comment. Backyard burning is banned completely in Ladysmith, Duncan and Lake Cowichan. The burning ban answers the board’s request to model its bylaw on North Cowichan’s regulation.

Stz’uminus War Canoe Races are cancelled Nick Bekolay the chronicle

Citing a respect for traditional teachings, organizers of Stz’uminus First Nation’s second annual War Canoe Races have decided to cancel this year’s race series. Originally scheduled to take place at Kulleet Bay July 20-21, organizers postponed the races until Aug. 17-18 following the death of a community member mid July. Further discussions with community elders led to a deferral of the event until summer 2014, organizer Margaret Seymour said. “We extend our apologies [for the cancellation] to each and all who were willing to support [the racers] or to come out and get to know our culture,” Seymour said. Planning has begun on next year’s race series, Seymour said, and she encourages

Celebrating Ladysmith Days

YOUR WORDS

“I was the weirdo in the family who sung myself to sleep.” Ken Lavigne, Page 9

t takes a lot to make an event like Ladysmith Days happen. So much goes on behind the scenes long before the weekend even comes. There are months and months and months of planning. So many decisions need to be made. So many people need to be contacted. So many schedules need to be lined up. It’s an incredible amount of work, and I hope the people who devote so much of their time and energy to this wonderful event know how much we appreciate it. Once again, Ladysmith Days was a weekend full of love, laughter, smiles and happiness. It was wonderful to see so many families and so many people of all ages out enjoying everything Ladysmith has to offer and enjoying spending time with their friends and neighbours. A huge thank you and congratulations to the Ladysmith Celebrations Society and all the volunteers who made this happen. It was an amazing weekend once again. Thank you also to all the sponsors and community groups, clubs, organizations and businesses who help with all of the events. Ladysmith Days celebrates everything that is so great about our community, and like all of our great community events throughout the year, it wouldn’t happen without the people, the spirit and dedication that Ladysmith is known for. We are already looking forward to next year, and we hope you are too! —Lindsay Chung

B.C. aboriginal progress fragile BC Views

by Tom Fletcher

he ceremonies have become common at the B.C. legislature. Government officials and aboriginal leaders gather to celebrate resource sharing agreements that allow economic development in areas that need employment but are hampered by a century of uncertainty and dispute over treaties, or lack thereof. This approach emerged a decade ago with forest agreements. The B.C. Liberal government bought back timber cutting licences from big forest firms and made them available for community forests and aboriginal communities who claimed the areas as their traditional territories. Recently, the approach was extended to mining revenues and water licence fees paid by private power developers. These are substantial steps forward for the only province in Cana-

da in treaty limbo. Perhaps the most ambitious agreement was concluded in March of this year when the government signed a deal with the Tahltan Nation for mining and hydroelectric development in remote northwestern B.C. The deal clears the way for a major extension of the BC Hydro grid to power the Tahltan village of Iskut and also the Red Chris metal mine, opening up the region to other mining and hydro potential. To get that deal, the province put up $20 million last year to buy back Shell Canada’s coalbed gas leases in the Klappan region, headwaters of the Nass, Skeena and Stikine Rivers. Those leases had become a target of international protest. Even after these expensive concessions, it would be an error to conclude that all is well between the Tahltan and the province. Stikine MLA Doug Donaldson questioned Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad on this point during the recent legislature session.

ation agreement with the Gitanyow First Nation near Terrace, one of many communities struggling to get through the B.C. treaty negotiation process. That agreement included a joint land-use plan. Then the Environmental Assessment Office asked the Gitanyow for its input on proposed gas pipelines through its territory, to feed the government’s liquefied natural gas plans. Again, the joint land-use plan has no provision for pipelines. The Gitanyow hereditary chiefs wrote to the B.C. government in July, threatening to go to court over the pipeline proposal and questioning the value of their hard-won reconciliation agreement. Resource revenue sharing agreements and shared land-use plans are wellintentioned and represent real progress. But these situations show how fragile they are.

The Tahltan Central Council was pleased about shared decision-making on resource projects, until they found out that B.C. had handed the environmental assessment of a new open-pit coal mine over to the federal government. The proposed mine is in the Klappan, known around the world as the Sacred Headwaters. Rustad said shared decision-making deals such as the Tahltan agreement do not cover activities of the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office. Whether the review of that coal mine is federal, provincial or combined, it requires extensive consultation with affected parties. That’s great, but all that goodwill could evaporate quickly if a coal mine ends up getting a permit despite Tahltan objections. Rustad’s Nechako Lakes constituency is also a focal point for oil and gas pipeline proposals. Donaldson highlighted another problem. Last year, the government signed a reconcili-

YOUR TOWN NEEDS YOU!!

New Treatment For Vitreomacular Adhesion

HELP US BUILD A BETTER COMMUNITY Dr. Anita Voisin

Vitreomacular adhesion (VMA) is a condition in which the vitreous gel of the eye is adhering abnormally to the underlying retina in the macula area that controls central vision. It is a common finding in older eyes. A new injectable treatment for resolving symptomatic vitreomacular adhesion promises to help a significant number of patients avoid surgery.

The vitreous is a gel-like fluid that fills approximately two-thirds of the eye, helping to maintain its shape. It is composed mostly of water, but also has collagen fibres, hyaluronic acid and proteins which can be perceived as floaters in our vision. In young eyes, the vitreous is attached to the surface of the retina, but as we age the vitreous begins to slowly liquefy and shrink. It eventually separates from the retina in a process call posterior vitreous detachment. For most people, a posterior vitreous detachment is uneventful and results in a clean separation of the vitreous; however if the separation of the vitreous is uneven or incomplete then areas of adhesion can occur. These areas of focal attachment tend to cause traction and pulling on the retina. In the peripheral retina this can cause a retinal tear. In the macula area the condition is known as vitreomacular adhesion (VMA).

The Town of Ladysmith has vacancies on the following volunteer citizen advisory commissions and committees: • Advisory Planning Commission • Parks, Recreation and Culture Commission • Heritage Revitalization Advisory Commission The Commissions typically meet once a month, and their role is to make recommendations to Council about matters that affect all of us. Citizen Advisory Commissions play a key role in shaping our community. You can get an application form at City Hall or the Frank Jameson Community Centre, or online at http://www. ladysmith.ca/city-hall/public-advisory-commissions-committees. Please submit your application by Tuesday, August 13, 2013. If you have any questions about Ladysmith’s Advisory Commissions and Committees, please call Mayor Hutchins at 250.245.6403, or send an e-mail to rhutchins@ladysmith.ca We look forward to working with you to help make Ladysmith even better! Council, Town of Ladysmith Town of Ladysmith 410 Esplanade, PO Box 220, Ladysmith, B.C. Ph: 250.245.6400 Fax: 250.245.6411 info@ladysmith.ca www.ladysmith.ca

In mild cases, VMA has no symptoms and does not require treatment. But in some cases the resulting traction will cause distortion and blurring of vision. In severe cases a tear can form and lead to a macular hole. Diagnosis of VMA is made by eye examination with your optometrist or ophthalmologist, and should include imaging of the retina and vitreous with optical coherence tomography (OCT). Up until recently, the only treatment options available for VMA were careful monitoring or surgical removal of the vitreous from the eye to release the adhesion (pars plana vitrectomy). Although a vitrectomy procedure is effective, it is a very delicate intraocular surgery that can potentially cause damage to the macula, or lead to other complications such as retinal detachment, infection or cataract development. Usually a patient with WMA was observed until the traction resolved on its’ own, or the condition worsened to theSubscribe point where the benefi tot of surgery outweighed the risk. We now have a new option – a drug called JETREA (ocriplasmin) that is a proteolytic enzyme genetically engineered from blood plasmin. When injected into the vitreous, ocriplasmin 250-245-2277 dissolves the proteins that cause the vitreous to adhere to the retina. In many patients this Includes releases the VMA and makes surgery unnecessary. JETREA is administered under localonline anesthetic, and is generally painless. The traction is usually released within a week or two. access As with any intravitreal injection there are risks for intraocular pressure elevation, inflammation or bleeding.

Clinical trials showed that JETREA resolved VMA in about 30% of patients, and allowed 40% of macular holes associated with VMA to close without surgery. If vitrectomy surgery was later required, treatment with JETREA did not interfere with the procedure. With a safer alternative to vitrectomy, we can now treat patients earlier and before significant damage to the retina has occurred. Earlier and less disruptive treatment of symptomatic VMA promises to be a great advance for patients.

Lavigne finds sense of belonging in singing

Susan Lundy BLACK PRESS

When Vancouver Island’s most famous tenor Ken Lavigne once worked as a singing waiter at Victoria’s Splendid Chinese Restaurant, he’d be perfectly comfortable trilling away amid the tables. The job

Free show Ken Lavigne will be performing a free Summertime Pops by the Sea concert this month in Nanaimo. “Yes the hats are back — and the guy with the tie!” according to a press release for the concert, which will take place Saturday, Aug. 17 at 6 p.m. at Maffeo Sutton Park in Nanaimo. Violinist Calvin Dyck (popular concertmaster of the Vancouver Island Symphony known for his many hats) and Lavigne (the guy with the tie) have joined forces to bring live symphonic music to Nanaimo’s waterfront. On Saturday, Aug. 17, they will be joined by the Abbotsford Youth Orchestra, members of the Vancouver Island Symphony and Nanaimo’s Sarah Wood on piano to present Summertime Pops by the Sea in the bandshell at Maffeo Sutton Park, a free concert for the whole family — rain or shine.

— serving up food and operatic arias — helped overcome his shyness. “Shy” is not how most would now describe this exuberant, articulate man he has become. But at 39, he is surprisingly humble, considering his resumé: major roles in operas such as La Traviata, Cenerentolla, Tosca and The Barber of Seville; a founding member of two highly successful bands, The Canadian Tenors and Romanza; regular performances with multi-Grammy winner David Foster; and singing for Prince Charles at Government House in Victoria. He’s also recorded five CDs and played Carnegie Hall. “The joy of singing is related to a mind-body connection,” he says. “We tend to think that the body is merely transport for the mind. But when we loosen that primal memory by singing, it takes over and you suddenly feel the earth move.” Lavigne’s mesmerizing voice — silken even as he speaks — is like “liquid gold” when he sings. Wrote reviewer Oscar Moore: “Ken Lavigne can caress a lyric and bring tears to one’s eye by the sheer beauty of his lyricism and sweetness.” And noted in the Cabaret Exchange in New York: “His voice seemed to be liquid gold, a pure lyric sound that had surprising undertones in his unforced lower range.” Born and raised in Victoria, Lavigne now lives with his wife Alice and three young children in Chemainus. Last year, he took time off his touring schedule to perform in Chemainus

Theatre’s production of Joseph and His Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Lavigne rocked out in the Elvis-impersonating role of Pharaoh. “I was always singing,” he says, recalling his childhood. “I was the weirdo in the family who sung myself to sleep.”

“It was an amazing experience; I remember thinking, ‘these people get me; I don’t have to hide this part of me. I belong …’” Finding a sense of belonging among his peers was sometimes an issue for Lavigne, who again, refers to himself

Chemainus tenor Ken Lavigne took time out from his touring schedule to plerform in last summer’s Chemainus Theatre production of Joseph and His Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, at right, but he is more recognizable in the tux he sported for a show earlier that year with the Palm Court Orchestra.

He eventually took music and vocal training at the University of Victoria with Susan Young and Alexandra BrowningMoore, and with Selena James at the Victoria Conservatory of Music. He also studied in Wales with Stuart Burrows, and in New York with Joan Dornemann. Today, his genre is “classical crossover,” but he continues to sing opera and is currently working with composer Tobin Stokes and author Margaret Atwood on an opera about Canadian singer Pauline Johnson. Facing the challenge of anything new is a cornerstone of Lavigne’s career since he made the bold move of renting Carnegie Hall in 2009, hiring the New York Pops and then performing as a basic “unknown” to rave reviews. “Carnegie Hall was a dream … You hear about

the legends who do a Carnegie Hall debut and it’s a magic moment in time. I’d built it up in my mind that one day I’d be that good.” It remained a dream until “a friend basically said I have to get out of my own way and embrace what I need to do in order to have this

career.” This “leap of faith” took tireless fundraising, mountains of paperwork, rehearsing, recording, touring and even periods of being “gripped with fear that I’m not good enough” — but ultimately springboarded his career onto an international stage.

Saysell selected for provincial U16 team Nick Bekolay THE CHRONICLE

Ladysmith’s McKenzie Saysell has been invited to join B.C.’s top 16-and-under women’s rugby team when the 2013 National Festival of Rugby scrums its way onto the University of British Columbia campus Aug. 7-13. The 15-year-old flanker first learned she’d been selected to the “U16” squad July 30, she said, following the second of two tryout sessions she’d attended in late July. Saysell and her U16 provincial teammates will practise together for the very first time Aug. 6, she said, and tournament play begins the following day.

Saysell is no stranger to top-tier competition. Through her time spent with both the Cowichan Rugby Club and Ladysmith Secondary School’s girls’ team, Saysell earned a spot on the U18 Women’s Tsunami — Vancouver Island’s regional team — two years in a row, winning silver medals at the provincial championships in 2012 and 2013. When Tsunami fielded its first U16 women’s team this year, Saysell and her teammates earned their first provincial gold in early July. When Saysell discovered she’d been named to BC’s “Gold” squad, she reacted with “tears of joy,” she said, adding: “I didn’t think I’d ever make it this far.” See next week’s Chronicle for more.
