In brief Nita Grant chosen as Citizen of the Year

for many years. She has always supported organizations requesting donations, she was the instigator of the Coats for Kids program for many years, and she started the 50 Plus Computer Club.

“The combination of ongoing efforts and devotion to countless and unselfish volunteer hours exemplifies the definition of volunteerism 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, driven by Mayor Rob Hutchins.

“It’s really, really a big surprise. 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 community and always have.”

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 begins 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 committee 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 Warren Street. If the weather co-operates, the committee is hoping to have over 250 vehicles registered this year.”

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

Eight-year-old Kaleigh Burkett’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 dedicated a lot of her time to volunteering and raising money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), and this year, she is one of the ambassadors 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 Diabetes, which will take place Sunday, Sept. 28 at McGirr Sports Fields in Nanaimo, is the signature fundraiser for the JDRF, the leading global organization focused on T1D research, focused on curing, better treating and preventing diabetes.

T1D is an autoimmune disease in which a person’s pancreas stops producing insulin, a hormone 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

by Pharmasave, Jade Esthetics (Krista Dyer) and Old Town Bakery. As the national sponsor of the walk, Thrifty Foods donated snacks, while 49th Café donated the venue, and Saveon-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 excited about the walk that’s coming 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 diabetes awareness fundraising necklace 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 Kaleigh’s Hope page on Facebook.

Opinion

We should not be afraid of “equality”

Editor: As an Indigenous lawyer and mother, I am greatly saddened by Michael Smith’s letters which perpetuate the false belief that recognizing our rights and title will encourage inequality. This uninformed view leads to misbeliefs 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 extra 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 Aboriginal rights and title. The law of Aboriginal title and rights is a huge step toward realizing some equality and making 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 incorporating 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 reconciling inequalities as a threat to their position of privilege 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.

NDP shares your concerns about the TPP

M

y office continues to receive emails, calls and letters outlining concerns about the ongoing negotiations around the TransPacific Partnership (TPP).

New Democrats share those concerns, and our trade critic, Don Davies (MP Vancouver-Kingsway), wrote to the Minister 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 Opposition, the NDP wishes to highlight three major themes that we believe should guide Canada’s positions through the TPP negotiations: 1. Increasing the transparency of TPP negotiations; 2. Promoting and defending important Canadian interests; and 3. Supporting strong human rights, labour and environmental standards.

Jean Crowder NDP MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT

It is our view that Canada ought to aspire to a high degree of openness and accountability in conducting our trade policy.

We call on your Government to release the draft text of the TPP to Parliamentarians on appropriate confidentiality terms; to implement a program of broad consultation with a full complement of significant Canadian stakeholders; and to establish a regular reporting process to inform the Canadian public of the issues engaged by, and progress made in, the TPP negotiations.

We are aware that there are serious pressures being applied in the TPP negotiations to weaken Can-

In a number of countries involved in the TPP negotiations, there is a lack of democracy, and an absence of normative freedoms. Child labour, forced labour, detention of political dissidents and draconian laws targeting the LGBTQ community are among the human rights violations that have been identified.

In our view, the Government ought to ensure that Canadian representations publicly advance democracy and respect for human rights, and require meaningful improvements as a condition of participation in the TPP.

Magazine celebrates all things local

Lindsay Chung the chronicle

Lesley Lorenz is combining her love for farming, marketing and all things local as publisher of Island Farm & Garden magazine.

In the magazine, Lorenz shares stories of what is or isn’t working for them on their farm and interviews respected local professionals. Filled with profiles, features, informative articles, photos, recipes and more, Island Farm & Garden is published five times a year.

Lorenz is the publisher, while her husband, Mark Drysdale, is the general manager. They operate out of their five-acre farm in Yellow Point.

Lorenz is the former owner of Nanaimo Magazine, while Drysdale is manager of the Ladysmith Chamber of Commerce and former executive director of Tourism Nanaimo.

Lorenz sold Nanaimo Magazine five years ago and started Island Farm & Garden two years ago this September.

Lorenz and Drysdale wanted to farm, but they didn’t have a lot of background in farming. 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 gardening 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 information, 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 experts.”

Lorenz and Drysdale have ducks, goats and chickens on their farm, and they grow vegetables and herbs, tomatoes and garlic. Lorenz makes hanging baskets, and they recently added bees to the farm.

Lorenz finds people in agriculture are incredibly nice, and she really enjoys connecting with the people she gets to work with.

“They’re really happy to give you their advice or even give you a hand,” she said. “Islanders, and farmers in particular, they’re just really nice people.”

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

that’s so appreciated.”

Lorenz says her favourite part of publishing the magazine, by far, is the people she meets.

“People are really, 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 Island Regional Library branches.

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

In between issues, Lorenz shares anything topical through blogging, 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 realizing ‘oh, I didn’t know I could save tomato seeds,’” she said. “Also, for my advertisers ... I think it also helps people 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 supporting agriculture through our magazine,” she added. “I have quite a few people who are consistently supportive, and I totally appreciate that.”

Fox & Hounds on track to open in Ladysmith this fall Lindsay Chung

the chronicle

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

Ladysmith council recently agreed to issue a development permit to permit alterations to the existing building at 11 High St. to enable the British pub-style restaurant owned by Jane and Trevor Ivens to move forward, and a lot of renovation work has been going into the building, 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 going ahead, and we’re doing lots and lots of renovations. It’s definitely on track. We haven’t had any major,

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 filtered out of the eye. In macular degeneration, however, the waste products are not properly filtered 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”.

Dr. Anita Voisin

Wet macular degeneration is the most visually devastating form of macular degeneration. 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 macular degeneration patients. The anti-VEGF targets the newly growing blood vessels and prevents them from growing more. Typically, patients will get anti-VEGF injections into the eye once every 1-3 months. Patients may be getting injections once a month for 1-2 years depending on their specific 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 find 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!

Highlanders second at PCSL Challenge Cup Greg Sakaki THE CHRONICLE

The season came down to an allIsland 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 battled 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, actually,” 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 empty-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 positive year” for the club, as it was supported 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 disappointed you lost, but everybody had a good year, and I think everybody knows that we’re trying to build something here.”

B.C. championships.

Wayne says Lindsay is always looking forward to her next tournament 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 horseshoes, Lindsay says it’s the travelling and meeting people.

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

Welcome to the driver’s seat

Visit the 2015 Challenger gallery at DrivewayBC.ca

Challenged by one Hellcat of a muscle car Portland, 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 harnessing the gargantuan horsepower of the 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat. It’s the most powerful production Chrysler V8, as well as the most powerful production 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 automatic.

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 Raceway. 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 driver-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 information 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 Challenger 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.

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 It’s the most were posted at 35 mph, powerful production I was impressed with Chrysler V8, as well its road manners. And considering I had almost as most powerful 485 horsepower (with production muscle the 6.4L engine), it was car to date, so it as docile as a lethargic needs to be treated lion, yet ready to pounce when the opportunity with respect. presented itself.

OF THE WEEK!

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.
