Patients upset over doctor’s departureLindsay ChungTHE CHRONICLE
Patients of Dr. Vivian Kilvert are upset after learning that she will no longer be with the Ladysmith Fam-ily Practice Clinic as of Aug. 9.
Joan Etheridge of Ladysmith, who is a patient of Kilvert’s, says she hears Kilvert has been asking for too many tests to be done for the diagnostic and monitoring needs of her patients and consequently is over budget.“We’re upset about our favourite
doctor being fired for being too good at what she does,” she said.
Ladysmith’s Gerry Yellowlees, who has seen Kilvert when his doc-tor was away, is upset as well,“This doctor is an excellent doctor
and she’s being let go because she’s an excellent doctor,” he said. “This is ridiculous.”
The Vancouver Island Health Au-thority (VIHA) could not comment on the specifics of Kilvert’s contract.“Vancouver Island Health Author-
ity cannot disclose any circum-stances relating to the contractual relationship between any physi-cian and the health authority out of respect for the confidentiality of those involved,” Bruce Patterson in the VIHA communications depart-ment stated in an e-mail.
Etheridge and Yellowlees were sur-prised to hear from other patients that Kilvert’s contract was not be-ing renewed. They received a letter from Kilvert July 9 informing them that her time with the Ladysmith Family Practice Clinic would end Aug. 9. They also received a letter from the clinic on July 17.
Kilvert has been sharing Dr. Gra-ham Brockley’s practice at the clin-
ic for about four years. “As of August 9, 2013, Dr. Kilvert
will no longer share this practice and will not have a permanent contract within the VIHA Family Practice Clinic,” states the letter to patients from the Ladysmith Family Practice Clinic, which is signed by site manager Heather Dunne, Kil-vert and Brockley. “We know that many of you will miss Dr. Kilvert, and we know that the most difficult part of this change will be in losing her relationships with her patients that she has so cherished. Dr. Kil-vert has considered it a privilege to have served as your physician and wishes you health and happiness in your future. We, as a clinic, and I am sure I speak for you as patients, wish the same for Dr. Vivian Kilvert as she pursues other avenues in her career and life.”
Dr. John Potts, one of the original physicians in the previous Monkey-Tree clinic in Ladysmith, will start in this half-time practice Sept. 2.“VIHA is committed to providing
accessible, high quality care to resi-dents of the Ladysmith area,” said Patterson. “We’re pleased Dr. John Potts will join the Ladysmith Family Practice Clinic in September.”
Yellowlees said he intended to write to the B.C. Medical Associa-tion and VIHA patient care, but he was frustrated that patients weren’t given very much notice.“What we’d like to do is have the
Ladysmith Family Practice Clinic consider the patients in the future with the consequences of their ac-tions and also keep Dr. Kilvert in some capacity,” he said. “We’re try-ing to be positive about this and say ‘how can we turn a negative into a positive?’”

Nick BekolayTHE CHRONICLE
A male motorcy-clist is in hospital following a collision between a Harley Davidson and a Maz-da sports wagon on Highway 1 south of Ladysmith late Mon-day morning.
Shortly before noon Aug. 12, Ladysmith RCMP responded to reports of an acci-dent at the intersec-tion of Highway 1 and Edgelow Road.
Const. Timothy Wang said reports from witnesses in-dicate that a mo-torcycle, piloted by a lone male driver, rear-ended a black Mazda sports wagon stopped at a red light where Edgelow Road meets Highway 1.
Both the car and bike were travelling north on Highway 1 when the accident occurred, Wang said, adding that the bike hit the rear bumper of the car before sliding partway un-derneath it.
The driver of the motorcycle was
“conscious and re-
sponsive” following the accident, Wang said.Wang did not know
the extent of the man’s injuries, but he confirmed that the driver of the motor-cycle was transport-ed by ambulance to hospital in Nanaimo. “It could’ve been a lot worse,” Wong said, “but thankfully it wasn’t.”
The female driver of the Mazda was unin-jured, Wang added.
It’s too early to say if the accident will lead to the driver of the motorcycle be-ing charged, Wang said, adding that the RCMP’s investigation into the accident is ongoing. “We haven’t yet spo-ken to the motorcycle driver,” Wang said.

Section of Holland Creek Trail now closedNick BekolayTHE CHRONICLE
The Town of Ladysmith is closing a section of the Holland Creek Trail (HCT) system from Aug. 8 through Sept. 27 to make room for the con-struction of a new chlorination facility at the Arbutus Reservoir site.
John Manson, the city’s director of public works, said the closure affects the HCT along the east side of the creek between Crystal Falls and the wood bridge linking the east (south) and west (north) portions of the HCT loop.
This section of trail will remain closed until work crews have com-pleted a pipeline between Colonia Drive and the new facility, Manson said. As work progresses, a second section
of the HCT between the wood bridge and Colonia Drive will be closed for
“three or four days” in mid-September, Manson added.
During this time, the HCT will re-main open along the north side of the creek from Dogwood Drive to Mackie Road and along the south side of the creek between Dogwood Drive and Crystal Falls.
Access to the creek crossing and to the Heart Lake Loop will be available
from Battie Drive or via the Rotary Lookout Trail, Manson added.
Ladysmith is constructing a new chlorination facility to replace an ag-ing one, built in the 1960s, that Man-son described as “worn out.”
Replacing the city’s chlorination plant is step one of two as Ladysmith overhauls the infrastructure it relies on for disinfecting its drinking water.
Phase two will involve the adoption of a secondary “level of protection” as the city vies to meet new Ministry of Health guidelines, Manson explained.
Choices include filtration or second-ary disinfection using ozone or ultra-violet radiation — UV is used by the Capital Regional District as part of its disinfection strategy — and a decision should be reached on what method the city will adopt “within the next year or two.” “We’re currently testing our water,” Manson said, “and the results of those tests will tell us what kind of treat-ment is feasible.” “Most, if not all” of the city’s water supply passes through the current chlorination facility, Manson said, and it will remain operational until the new plant is up and running.
For more information on Lady-smith’s water management plan, con-tact Public Works at 250-245-6445.
From Aug. 8 through Sept. 27, a section of the trail is closed to make room for construction of a new chlorination plant

As she leaves for the BC Ambassador Program pageant this week in Merritt, Ladysmith’s Kelly Wallace still needs her community’s support to earn the People’s Choice Award and potentially earn bursaries to support her post-secondary education. Wallace leaves today (Aug. 13) and will be in Merritt until Sunday, Aug. 18. The Ladysmith Ambassador Team will join her in Merritt for the weekend to watch her pageant. Wallace is currently competing for � rst place in the People’s Choice Award, and people can help her win by voting daily online at www.bcambassador.com. Voting will close Friday, Aug. 16 at midnight. Wallace, the only candidate in the B.C. Ambassador Program from Vancouver Island, is 19 and was crowned Ladysmith Ambassador in 2012. She is enrolled in Vancouver Island University, where she plans to begin pursuing her double major in dance and mathematics this September, and she works at the Old Town Bakery in Ladysmith. “Thank you to everyone who has supported me in any way throughout my candidacy,” says Wallace. “Regardless of the outcome this weekend, I plan to represent Ladysmith to the best of my ability and I hope to make our town proud.” PHOTO SUBMITTED

Get your motor running this weekendNick Bekolaythe chronicle
Central Island classic car buffs are fine-tuning their engines, polishing their chrome and shin-ing their tailfins in preparation for the 10th annual Ladysmith Show and Shine and Rod Run.
The two-day festival thunders its way through Ladysmith and Chemainus this Friday (Aug. 16) and Saturday (Aug. 17).
Friday night’s Rod Run offers local fans a chance to spot their passing favourites as a con-voy of classics makes its way from the A&W on Highway 1 and Oyster Sto’Lo Road out to Chemainus and back.
Ron Howe, Show and Shine’s chairman, said Rod Run par-ticipants will congregate at the A&W prior to their 7 p.m. depar-ture.
The caravan is scheduled to roll through Ladysmith via First Avenue and Dogwood Drive before crossing Highway 1 to follow Chemainus Road to the roundabout at Oak Street and Victoria Road in Chemainus. From there, the motorcade will retrace its route back along Chemainus Road to Highway 1 before returning to its starting
point. “The route usually takes about an hour,” Howe said, “and it seems to be getting bigger every year. Last year we had upwards of 70 to 80 cars.”
The following morning, Show and Shine launches at 10 a.m. along a lengthy span of First Avenue, extending from War-ren Street to Roberts Street in downtown Ladysmith.
Howe has 40 vehicles signed up to date, he said, with room for 260 in total.
Pre-registration ended Thurs-day, Aug. 8, Howe added, and would-be participants are now asked to sign up onsite on the morning of the event. “Most people sign up on the day of the event if the weather’s good,” Howe said, adding that last year’s show drew “between 250 and 260” cars and bikes, in-cluding a rare 1918 Cadillac.
Last-minute entries for Show and Shine can be submitted at the registration booth at High Street and First Avenue, Howe said. Signing up costs $20 and includes a complimentary hot dog or hamburger from the Lions food truck, located on Gatacre Street and First Avenue.
According to Show and Shine’s
website, car owners will vie for “Best in Show,” “Participants’ Choice,” or one of three “Peo-ple’s Choice” trophies.
Bike owners, meanwhile, will compete in four categories: Vin-
tage 1955 or earlier, Best Sport Bike, Best Cruiser and Best Custom.
Vendors will be on sight pro-moting car care and appraisal services, Howe added, backed
by live music from Fred Izon.Trophies and awards will be
given away at 2 p.m., Howe said.For more on Show and Shine

Ladysmith couple will be on Dragons’ Den season openerNick Bekolaythe chronicle
Local entrepreneurs Chip Nary and Al-exa Grier, makers of Happy Zak Products, discovered last week that their appearance on CBC’s Dragons’ Den will be featured in the show’s season premiere Oct. 2. Dragons’ Den pro-
ducers informed Nary and Grier of their scheduled cameo on the show’s season premiere by e-mail Aug. 1, Nary said, and he was busy packing up bottles of their signature prod-uct — Happy Zak’s Scrotum Bliss — to send to the show’s promotional team as he fielded a call from the Chronicle Aug. 8.
The show’s produc-ers informed Nary that incorporating Scrotum Bliss into their publicity cam-paign would be “a ballsy way to pro-mote the season pre-miere and our prod-uct as well,” Nary said.
Nary loves how ev-eryone — including the show’s produc-ers — seems to get the joke, he added, suggesting that their efforts to promote testicular tranquility to the masses has led to “very few people thinking [he’s] a per-vert.”
Nary and Grier vis-ited the Canadian Broadcasting Centre in Toronto April 10 to film their foray into the Dragons’ Den. Their goal was to ac-quire backing for the purchase of 50,000 frosted glass bottles for their signature lotion. Citing a con-
fidentiality agree-ment signed with the show’s produc-ers, Nary declined to comment on whether or not they succeed-ed.
How their pitch was received by the Dragons will remain shrouded in secrecy until their pitch airs.
Regardless of the outcome, though, Nary said “many people that don’t get deals with the Drag-ons on the show are picked up by other entrepreneurs and venture capitalists that watch the show
for castoffs and they wind up getting deals [from other inves-tors.]”“Either way,” Nary added, “we’re expect-ing something to hap-pen.”
Nary said he and Grier will watch from home as Happy Zak’s Scrotum Bliss makes its nationwide debut when season eight of Dragons’ Den premieres on CBC Wednesday, Oct. 2 at 8 p.m. PST.

While on courses in Victoria, two air cadets from 257 Parallel Squadron in Ladysmith have been helping remove invasive species. Of the more than 400 cadets on seven different courses and in 12 different flights, Clayton Leone, 14, and Kyle Baird, 15, both ended up on a community service project in the same place at the same time July 19 at Fort Rodd Hill and Fisgard Lighthouse National Site in Victoria, where they helped remove daphne laurel. Here, they work together to remove the plants. lt(N) Peggy Kulmala

Soon after my good friend and ministerial
colleague began his new position — one that requires him to frequently fly — he entered the Vancou-ver International Airport bound for Terrace, B.C.
That day, one of many so-called “random security checks” began when the airport secu-rity guard saw my friend’s darker skin and hair, adorned by his ivory-white teeth, approaching. Superman could not have bored holes through my friend’s passport better than that security officer.
He studied it, as if in-nocent lives depend-ed on him that day.
After noticing my friend’s birthplace of Karachi, Pakistan — a city known for its illegal and terrorism activity — the air-port security guard seemingly trans-formed into home-land security. Guan-tanamo Bay came to Vancouver that day.
With beady, suspi-cious eyes, the bor-der guard bordered on interrogation as he inquired of my Pakistani-born, yet highly-patriotic Ca-nadian friend. “Why are you traveling to Terrace today?” he queried. Innocently, my friend replied, “To train cell leaders in Terrace.”
At the sight of the guard’s eyes nearly popping out of their sockets, my friend
realized what he had said. Verbally backpedaling, he defended, “No! Not those kind of cell leaders … Cell group leaders.” Then with bomb-squad preci-sion, my friend pro-ceeded to delicately dismantle this tick-ing bomb. Flashing his business card, he explained, “I’m a Christian minister, and Christians in our churches gather
together in small groups to study the Bible. These small groups are some-times called ‘cell groups.’ I am going to Terrace to train cell group leaders on how to lead Bible study groups!”
Ever since mania-cal madmen wrought terror upon America on 9/11, profiling has become necessary. Unfortunately, when done improperly, profiling can devolve into legalized racism and prejudiced mis-treatment of certain ethnic groups.
Have you ever lived in or travelled to for-eign lands where your ethnicity is for-eign?
Then you may have endured the stares, sneers and suspi-cions of onlookers. Meanwhile, beneath our different skin
colours, we all bleed the same.
The relevance of the Bible always staggers me.
Thousands of years ago, God noted, “Man looks at the outward appear-ance, but the Lord looks at the heart” (1 Samuel 16:7). This is as true today as it was three millen-nia ago. Yet even more staggering to me is the uncondi-tional love of God, manifested in Jesus Christ. Like the chil-dren’s song teaches: “Black and yellow, red and white, they are precious in His sight, Jesus loves the little children of the world.”
Jesus is more fo-cussed on hearts than skin colour, and we would be wise to do the very same thing.

Vocal Cowichanians are winning victories to preserve our threatened environment, but there are plenty of battles looming.
Your voice does count.Folks who care about saving our water,
air, land, and ecosystems have no choice but to de-mand action from our local leaders — development pressures are heavy, and getting heavier.
The biggest win was stakeholder demands granted to increase storage of river water in Cowichan Lake to prevent another fall kill of spawning salmon, due to drought. Some locals are rightly questioning the wis-dom of granting Crofton pulp mill those river-water permits 50 years ago.
And, while some Chemainiacs rightly argue all of Echo Heights forest should be saved, North Cowichan council has agreed 80 per cent will be preserved from housing.
Meanwhile, locals are anxiously awaiting word from provincial bureaucrat Hubert Bunce about al-lowing five million tonnes of toxic soil to be dumped into SIA’s quarry near Shawnigan Lake. Just say no, Mr. Bunce. SIA’s scheme seems madness given other unmonitored dumps already leaking poison into Co-wichan’s water supplies.
Other eco-wild cards include pending provincial ap-proval of pulling North Cowichan farmland for devel-opment beside Somenos Marsh. That answer should also be no.
Finally, North Cowichan council seems to be listen-ing to public concerns about saving most of Maple Bay Peninsula from development once an improved Stoney Hill Road is built. Council, make parkland from all of our municipal forest land there.
Our politicians need your ideas and opinions about these urgent decisions. Speak up now.

Ladysmith residents express their gratitude to departing doctor, urge others to do the same
Editor:
Please help us thank Dr. Kil-vert for her thorough, profes-sional and personal care as our physician.
Dr. Kilvert has blessed us and our whole community with her compassionate, forthright manner for some four years. She will be sorely missed.
We were saddened when we recently learned that Dr. Kil-vert’s partnership and contract through the Ladysmith Family Practice Clinic is to end Aug. 9.
We hope that she will find a way to stay linked with our community.
She is a highly gifted medical professional, and this IS her home.
In our opinion, the clinic (VIHA) and we as a community simply cannot afford to “dis-card” such personal and pro-fessional talent. We need more excellent doctors right here in Ladysmith!
We suspect many of you are also saddened by news of this sudden change.
Please make your loud voices heard, by sharing your thanks directly with Dr. Kilvert and by expressing your thoughts and concerns in writing to one or both of these officers at VIHA:
Victoria Power, director PHC/CDM/Rural Health VIHA
and/or
Dr. Clair Biglow, medical director PHC/CDM VIHA
You may write to one or both of these officers at the fol-lowing address: Royal Jubilee Hospital, 1952 Bay St., Victoria B.C., V8R 1J8.
Thank you for your support.

Martin thanks Ladysmith Days Committee, friends for Citizen of the Year nod
Editor: I wish to thank everyone on
the Ladysmith Days Committee for doing me the great honour of naming me as Ladysmith’s Citizen of the Year. Most of all, I would especially like to thank my nominator, Irene Deschene, without whom none of this would have happened!
It was a very proud day for me and one that I will never forget.
Thanks!!

Roundabouts 101Editor:
I think we all have noticed the increase in the number of roundabouts being installed in our area recently, which I be-lieve is a great idea.
However, I don’t think most people understand how they work and what to do when us-ing them.
Roundabouts have been used in England and Europe for years and they range from eight-lane, seven-road circuits to a simple circle painted in the middle of an intersection.
So what is the proper etiquette when using roundabouts?
First, the person in the round-about has the right of way.
Second, you should signal in and signal out of the round-about which means in Canada, you signal left entering the roundabout and continue to signal left until you reach your exit then you signal right out of the circle. This allows the driver entering the roundabout to know what your intentions are and therefore not enter the circle while you are continuing around it.
Use this simple rule and you will find, like all of Europe does, that roundabouts are a great traffic manager.

Nick BekolayTHE CHRONICLE
The mysterious source of a massive ochre-hued slick spanning much of Ladysmith Harbour and sections of Stuart Channel Friday, Aug. 2, has been solved.
Multiple inquiries with various regulatory agencies regarding the potential source of a spill resembling “hundreds of gallons of copper paint” led us to Nicky Haigh, an ex-pert on harmful algal blooms, or HABs, at Vancouver Island University in Nanaimo.
Haigh, who works with VIU’s Harmful Al-gae Monitoring Program (HAMP), said the bloom carpeting Ladysmith Harbour “was almost certainly Noctiluca scintillans,” add-ing that she saw similar blooms of Nocti-luca the weekend of Aug. 3-4 around north-ern Salt Spring Island and offshore from Crofton.
Noctiluca scintillans is a species of dino-flagellate — a single-celled protist — with large, spherical cells that range up to two
millimetres in diameter, big enough to be seen with the naked eye. They emit light when disturbed — bioluminescence — and under certain conditions form greasy, flu-orescent-orange blooms that coat the sur-face of the water.“It’s the only bloom I can identify with-
out having to use the microscope,” Haigh wrote, referring to a Noctiluca bloom at Ladysmith Harbour she photographed in late June.
Diana Varela, a professor of marine biol-ogy at the University of Victoria, confirmed that Noctiluca blooms do not result in the production of toxins. As such, labelling them as “red tides” is both misleading and inaccurate, and Varela prefers the term HABs.
As to the extent of the bloom, Bud Bell at Sealegs Kayaking said he paddled through a
“copper-red slick” that “stretched for miles” along the surface of the water off of Coffin Point, adding that his guides reported simi-lar sightings all the way from the northern
tip of Ladysmith Harbour to Chemainus.Gabe Nicholson, a passenger on West-
Jet Flight 3109, said he saw boats slicing through bright orange slicks that spanned entire channels between islands during his final approach to the Nanaimo Airport Sun-day, Aug. 4.
Haigh said Noctiluca blooms are triggered by “the presence of a good food source — generally a diatom bloom.”
Noctiluca are classified as phytoplankton, Haigh added, but unlike most phytoplank-ton, they feed on diatoms and other plank-ton for energy rather than producing their own via photosynthesis, meaning they “act like zooplankton.”
According to Haigh, Noctiluca blooms are “quite common,” and in the event of a future bloom, Haigh said HAMP lab staff would
“be happy to field calls from the public” the next time they see “exciting things” out on Ladysmith Harbour.
Haigh can by reached at 250-740-6354 or [email protected].

Neil Diamond tribute show is coming to ChemainusLindsay ChungTHE CHRONICLE
Neil Diamond once said “songs are life in 80 words or less.”
The 72-year-old member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has shared a lot of his life in a lot of songs over a ca-reer that started in the 1960s and is still going strong. And that’s something that hasn’t been lost on Joey Purpura, a 39-year-old performer and im-personator based in Toronto.
Purpura has lived and breathed Neil Diamond since 2004, travelling across the country and parts of the Ca-ribbean with his tribute show, Diamond in the Rough.
Purpura first became inter-ested in Neil Diamond at a ka-raoke show.“I’ve always been a very good mimic ever since I was a kid,” he said. “At a karaoke place, I heard someone do Neil Dia-mond, and I thought it was an interesting sound, so I did a song and got a great reaction. The reason I stuck with Neil Diamond is I found his lyrics are very good. He’s a storytell-er. I think that’s what drew me to it, the storytelling and the melodies of his songs.”
The singer wasn’t on Pur-pura’s radar growing up, and so he really started from the ground up.
In 2002, Purpura began re-searching Diamond’s life, studying his every move, ev-ery song and the story behind the music. He found a Las Vegas-based designer able to replicate Diamond’s glittery costumes from the mid-70s.
To pay tribute to Diamond, Purpura did a lot of research about Diamond online, bought a biography and also watched a lot of videos and looked at a lot of photos to see how Dia-mond moves and to watch his facial expressions and re-cre-ate his wardrobe.
“By researching his life, not only do I sing his songs, but in between songs, I also weave highlights of his life,” said Purpura.
Purpura has been doing his Neil Diamond tribute show for almost a decade.“It’s been a lot of fun,” he said.
“He has a lot of fans. Basically, the people who come to my shows are Neil Diamond lov-ers. He seems to have a de-vout following. People who come to my shows say I sound just like him, and they say I take them back in time.”
Purpura’s two favourite songs to perform are “Shilo” and “September Morn.”“I think it’s the lyrics,” he says
of why these two are his fa-vourites. “It’s the storytelling in the songs and the emotion he makes you feel. They’re
emotionally packed songs.”Purpura says he really en-
joys performing Diamond in the Rough.“I like seeing people happy, and it’s a thrill for me to see how people react and to see that I’m impacting them that way,” he said. “It’s a thrill and a way to entertain them and to recreate Neil Diamond be-cause they’re such loyal fans and they’re so appreciative.”
Purpura performs his Neil Diamond tribute show Thurs-day, Aug. 22 at the Chemainus Legion. Doors open at 7 p.m., and the music starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $25 in advance or $30 at the door and can be picked up at the Legion lounge.
For more information, call the Chemainus Legion at 250-246-3133.

Bluegrass Fever at Transfer BeachStaff Writerthe chronicle
Bluegrass is the name of the game this weekend during the penultimate Concerts in the Park show, hosted by the Ladysmith Resources Centre Association (LRCA).
Bluegrass Fever has developed a solid reputation as one of the most crowd-pleas-ing bluegrass bands, according to its web-site, and the band will bring its lively blue-grass and traditional sound to the Transfer Beach Amphitheatre this Sunday evening.
Renowned banjo player Barrie Hem-mings was a member of the original Blue-grass Fever band in Ontario in the 1980s, and he re-formed the band on Vancouver Island a number of years ago.“Hemmings is master of both the three-fin-
ger and clawhammer banjo stylings — you can’t miss his hard-driving sound when you hear the band,” states the band’s website.
The band was re-assembled with guitar-ist Bob Johns, who is known on the Island for his years with the popular Back Forty Boys; Guy Langlois, a talented upright
bassist from Yellowknife; and their latest addition, Jeff Ellis, who is considered “a truly amazing talent on the mandolin.”
Originally from Moneta, Va., Ellis has been named Virginia state champion for acoustic guitar and acoustic bass and has won more than 50 first-place awards.

In the game
BC1 wins gold but Saysell’s efforts curtailed by injury
Nick BekolayTHE CHRONICLE
Ladysmith’s McK-enzie Saysell made a brief but explosive appearance at Rugby Canada’s National Championship Festi-val (NCF) in Vancou-ver Aug. 7-11
Saysell helped steer BC1 to a 60-0 vic-tory over BC2 as U16 Women’s play got underway at UBC Wednesday, Aug. 7, only to have her field time cut short by in-jury the following day.
The young flanker’s tournament play came to an end during BC1’s 23-15 victory over Ontario Thurs-day, Aug. 8.
Saysell scored her first try of the tour-nament during the opening half of Thurs-day’s game to put BC1 ahead of Ontario 10-0.
Less than 20 min-utes later, when Say-sell “went head on” with an Ontario rival, she suffered whip-lash and a concussion when the two women collided while ruck-ing over a ball.
Saysell’s perfor-mance earned her the nod for MVP of the game, but she was forced to watch her team play from the sidelines for the re-mainder of the tour-nament.
BC1 went on to de-feat Alberta 29-5 on Friday during the
final round of pre-liminary play, setting themselves up for a semi-finals rematch with BC2 on Satur-day, a game they won handily by a score of 31-0.As BC1 squared off
against Ontario in Sunday’s gold-medal game, Saysell played the part of “water girl,” she said.
Her well-hydrated teammates defeated Ontario 19-0 to win gold during the NCF’s first year featuring an U16 Women’s division.
BC1’s top three players led their di-vision for scoring,
Saysell added. BC1 teammate Caroline Crossley ranked first overall with 30 points, Chantal MacLean was second overall with 29 points, and Taiid Hanes-Young ranked third with 25 points.Aside from her high-
scoring colleagues, Saysell credited their NCF victory to her team playing well to-gether.“There was no fight-ing,” she added. “We picked each other up when we fell down, and we bonded really well.”
Saysell said she plans to play with
either the Cowichan Rugby Club or Nanaimo come the fall rugby season if her doctor gives her the all-clear.
In the interim, Say-sell said she’ll spend the next “three to six weeks” focusing on her recovery.
In other NCF news, Ontario rallied for a come-from-behind win over BC to clinch gold in U18 Men’s play. The U18 Women’s gold-medal game saw Ontario crush BC 25-5. And in U16 Men’s play, BC1 earned gold, while Alberta walked away with silver.
Ladysmith’s McKenzie Saysell scores first try in U16 Women’s rugby play at National Championship Festival minutes before she’s sidelined by injury

MacKINNON, Bradley WilliamPassed away peacefully on July 31st, 2013 at the Nanaimo Regional Hospital, Palliative Care Unit aft er an 8 month courageous and brave battle with cancer. Born in Fredericton, New Brunswick on July 3rd, 1969.
Predeceased by his father Al MacKinnon on October 11th, 2006. Loving husband to Carrie and adoring father to Miranda Braun and
Erick MacKinnon. Also survived by his mother Caroline Plocoweitz (Roy); best baby brother to Caroline Phillips (Doug), Maureen MacKinnon (partner Lance), Dwayne MacKinnon (Lorna), and the best brother-in-law to Glenn and Connie Sawyer. Brad has many nieces, nephews, and friends that have touched his life and theirs as well.
Brad always worked hard in his life and with natural determination could accomplish anything he set his mind to. Brad’s largest success in the last 3 years was becoming self employed with a very successful spay foam insulation company that he called “My Baby”. Brad ran his business with honesty, integrity and would always go the extra mile to ensure his customers were happy and taken care of.
A celebration of Brad’s life will be held at the home of Brad and Carrie, 1137 Cloke Road, Ladysmith, BC, on August 17th, 2013 at 2:00 pm. Flowers gratefully declined. In memory of Brad those so desiring may make a donation to the Nanaimo Regional Palliative Care Unit or the Nanaimo Community Hospice Society, 1729 Boundary Avenue, Nanaimo, BC V9S 4T3.
Th e family would like to send a heartfelt “Th ank you” to all who have impacted Brad’s life, including the compassionate dignifi ed care given to him by the Community Home Care Team, and attentive care from Dr. Julian Lisinski. Condolences may be off ered to the family at [email protected]
When I come to the end of the roadAnd the sun has set for me
I want no tears on a gloom-fi lled roomWhy cry for a soul set free
Miss me a little and not for longAnd not with your head bowed low
Remember the love that we once sharedMiss me-but let me go
For this is a journey we all must takeAnd each must go alone
It’s all a part of the master planA step on the road to home
When you are lonely and sick of heartGo to the friend we know
And bury your sorrows in doing good deedsMiss me-but let me go.

KRUTZ: Werner (Vern) Christe, a wise and extraordinary man, left this life on the evening of Aug 2/13 in his residence at Wexford Creek, Nanaimo.Born Dec 5/25 in Morden, Manitoba, Vern was the 9th of 11 children. He is survived by his children Henry, Bill, Donna (Bruce), Roberta (Chris predeceased 2006), Laura (Galan); step-children Cathy and William; grandchildren Kyle, Amy (Craig), Adam, Layla, Carly, Gia; the mother of his children and his wife from 1951-1974, Roberta Krutz; his sisters Erma, Erika, Evelyn; and his partner from 1980-2004, Fran Willgress.In 1940, at the tender age of 14 Dad left home and joined the army...until they discovered he was underage. During the next 12 years he joined the army, navy, and RCAF Reserve. In 1958 he moved to BC to become the first sanitary inspector for the Pacific Zone.Dad retired in 1980 with a total 34 years of loyal public service. He truly enjoyed his work and always said his job was to serve. He did it well.Dad had a love and respect for the land. After retiring he worked 13 plus years as Land Manager for Cowichan Tribes. He was an avid farmer and right up to the end his greatest joy was spending time on the farm with friends and family.Please help us celebrate Vern’s exceptional sense of humour and wonderful influence on those around him on Saturday, September 21, 2013 @ 2:00PM at the Cedar Community Hall, Nanaimo.Special thanks to the caring staff at Wexford Creek and a huge shout out to our brother, Henry Krutz, for his devoted and amazing care of our Papa over the past 7 plus years.In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Heart & Stroke Foundation of BC would be wonderful.
