New Stz’uminus Secondary School will open its doors Niomi Pearson THE CHRONICLE

The Stz’uminus First Nation’s “jewel in the forest” will open its doors to the public May 31 for a special Open House viewing. The new Stz’uminus Secondary School, a project more than 10 years in the making, has completed construction, and excitement is building as the school prepares for the start of the 2012-13 school year in September. The open house will be an opportunity for members of the public to catch a glimpse of the beautiful building, which is located at 3951 Shell Beach Rd. “The community and the leadership have been waiting a long time for this,” said Charlotte Elliott, Stz’uminus education director. “I don’t think I can even express the excitement that the community is feeling.” For the past 20 years, secondary and adult education have been run out of Chemainus Native College and Stu’’ate Lelum Secondary on Jones Road in Ladysmith. Students attend from Nanaimo, the Cowichan Valley and Penelakut Island. “When I came on board 11 years ago, it was pretty evident that we NIOMI PEARSON/CHRONICLE needed to create something based on the increasing high school Lee Tague, front, and Dylan Izon soak up the sun Thursday afternoon on the swing set at Transfer Beach youth enrolment at Stu’’ate Lelum,” Park.

Collision Repairs Need a Makeover?

The Chemainus Native College will continue to operate at the Jones Road location once the high school is officially opened in September. The college facility will undergo a facelift in the summer, according to Elliott. The new secondary school facility is a state-of-the-art building, complete with green roof, energy-efficient lighting and modern equipment, such as Smart Boards in every classroom. It will serve students through Grades 8-12, aged 19 and younger. “This beautiful new school has all of the facilities we could have ever hoped for,” said Josee Duffhues, Open House committee co-ordinator. “It’s going to be an absolute dream to see our students in that environment.” Other features include a half-size gymnasium, fitness room, science lab, computer lab, career centre, multipurpose room, library, industrial shop and a professional kitchen, which will enhance the culinary education that has been offered out of Stu’’ate Lelum. Perhaps the school’s most charming feature is its large glass windows, offering beautiful views of the forest outside. The project has been funded by Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, as well as a significant monetary contribution by the Stz’uminus First Nation, who strongly believe See Open House Page 3

From Page 1 in education, Elliott said. “We’re not duplicating the public system, we’re not duplicating a private system; we’re creating our own system where we know and believe our children can succeed,” she said. “Stz’uminus is always talking about building bridges, and this is going to be a school that’s

open for everyone, not just First Nations students. “This is going to be a school where it’s a choice – they’re choosing to come here to learn.” The Stz’uminus Secondary School Open House will take place Thurs., May 31 from 5-8 p.m. For more information, contact 250-245-7155.

Little Valley Restorations wins award ANDREW LEONG/BLACK PRESS

Catalyst is set to vote on a restructuring plan that will affect the future of the Crofton mill May 23.

Catalyst set to vote on restructuring May 23 Peter W. Rusland BLACK PRESS

The much-delayed D-day for Catalyst paper is finally expected to arrive in Richmond Wednesday. And a representative of the firm that owns Crofton’s pulp mill says those delays will give the firm a fighting chance. The meeting had previously been set for May 18. Number-crunchers have finetuned a financial-restructuring plan in a bid to make it attractive enough to creditors that they will vote to give Catalyst what it needs to survive, Lyn Brown explained last week. “The amended plan means less debt and better liquidity for the

company, which will help get us back to normal trade terms with suppliers,” Brown said. “The amended plan brings our total debt down by US $435 million, which is $120 million better than in the original plan,” Brown said in an e-mail about Crofton’s beleaguered parent company, which last year paid North Cowichan $5.4 million in taxes. “This is made up of two parts: we’ll issue US $75 million less in new first-lien notes, and eliminate US $45 million in new firstlien coupon notes, compared to the original plan.” In addition, she says, Catalyst’s 50-per-cent stake in Powell River Energy Inc. [PREI] will be sold, and up to half of those net pro-

ceeds will be available for distribution to unsecured creditors who elect this option. “Those who choose not to participate in the PREI proceeds pool, or to receive a convenience cash amount to a maximum of $5,000, will have the option to acquire a pro-rata share of up to 600,000 new common shares [four per cent of the total to be issued to holders of first-lien notes],” said Brown. A court-appointed monitor supports the amended plan, and it goes to a creditor vote on May 23. “Whatever the outcome of those meetings, we still have a lot of work ahead to be at a point where we can emerge from creditor protection,” Brown said.

Members of the Ladysmith Newcomers Club meet at Tim Horton’s Monday mornings at 10 a.m. and always welcome new faces. noting coffee at Tim Horton’s, the walks, games nights and restaurant outings seem to be most popular. It costs $15 a year to join the Ladysmith Newcomers Club. There are more than 70 members, and Hogg says most members are retired. “It’s a large percentage, so this enables people to meet who don’t have connections with school or with their children in soccer games and different things like that,” she noted. Hogg likes being part of the Newcomers Club because it’s a group of like-minded people. “Everyone is there because they are new to various degrees — it could be four years

or three months,” she said. “They’re new in the area, and everyone has joined the group to meet people, so they are a friendly group. It’s a very congenial group.” Hogg was living in Ontario when she looked up Ladysmith on the Internet and found out about the Newcomers Club. She contacted the club from Ontario, and when her husband moved to Ladysmith, he joined the club. When Hogg moved soon after, she joined as well. “It’s been a fabulous group,” she said. “I have met many people, have developed friendships that I continue outside the group, and I’ve enjoyed many of the activities.”

The Ladysmith Newcomers Club holds meetings the last Sunday of the month at 7 p.m. at Aggie Hall from September to May and holds a wrapup barbecue in June. Hogg encourages anyone who is interested in finding out more about the Newcomers t o d r o p i n t o Ti m Horton’s on a Monday morning or drop by a meeting at Aggie Hall to learn more about the club. “It’s definitely a nopressure club, so you’re welcome to do as many or as few things as you like,” she said.

Opinion

What would we do without volunteers?

YOUR WORDS “It’s going to be an absolute dream to see our students in that environment.” Josee Duffhues, Page 1

e can’t emphasize enough how important volunteers are in our community. Coming off the huge success of the Mini World Cup that seems to have left a lot of excitement and positive vibes in the community and looking ahead to a busy and fun weekend that includes the Ladysmith Maritime Festival, the Canadian Cancer Society’s Spring Fashion Show and Luncheon, and the Ladysmith Rotary Garden Tour, Show and Sale, it’s hard to imagine what we would do without volunteers. Inspired to give their time for a variety of reasons, volunteers help keep our communities safe, help put on events that inform and entertain us and draw visitors to Ladysmith, and provide our families with so many opportunities, from Brownies and Scouts to sports and drama. There are so many exciting things going on in Ladysmith this weekend, and everywhere you turn, you will most likely see someone who is volunteering their time because they care about their community and want to share their passion with others. Many volunteers will be dressed as pirates down around the Ladysmith Community Marina during the Maritime Festival. Still others will be modelling in the annual Spring Fashion Show this Saturday to raise money for Relay for Life. Rotary members have been working long and hard to host their annual Garden Tour, Show and Sale and have planned a fun, informative and inspiring day this Sunday. Ball coaches will be leading teams on the ball fields, and so much more. We can’t say thank you enough to our volunteers for making Ladysmith such a great place to live and to visit. — The Chronicle

Premier bitten by pest problem BC Views

by Tom Fletcher

remier Christy Clark has a new political problem buzzing around her office. A year ago, the newly-appointed premier was looking to change the channel for an unpopular government grappling with the fallout of the harmonized sales tax. Newly-appointed NDP leader Adrian Dix was touting an idea that is all the rage with urban folks, a ban on “cosmetic pesticides.” All the better B.C. communities already have one, starting with Clark’s old stomping ground of Port Moody. So she figured she’d better run to the front of this parade, swipe a popular policy from the opposition and do something to redefine the B.C. Liberal Party after the tax-cutting, regulationrepealing decade of Gordon Campbell. But first, an all-party committee would hold hearings around the province, chaired by Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett.

Bennett presented the committee’s report last week, and one could see what was coming. Bennett is the rifle-toting outdoorsman who recently called on his government to abandon the carbon tax, saying it’s silly to keep pretending B.C. can change the world’s climate. He was recently appointed by Clark to co-chair the B.C. Liberal Party policy committee for next year’s election, a strong signal of the party’s rightward shift in response to the Conservative threat. Bennett concluded after 10 months of hearings that the public aversion to common lawn and garden herbicides is based on “chemophobia” that flourishes due to scientific illiteracy. That statement is both politically dangerous and absolutely correct. I first covered this issue in the Okanagan 25 years ago, when environmentalists fought the use of Roundup by the forests ministry to knock down brush and promote new trees. The evidence boils down to this: these complex organic

compounds break down in a short period to simpler, common components that pose no threat. Thus, with buffer zones around watercourses and temporary entry restrictions, they are safe. Unfortunately, most people know little or nothing about chemistry and refuse to believe this. It’s part of the scientific nonsense trend that has grown in B.C. society for decades. We have parents turning their backs on routine immunization because of superstitions about vaccines. We have people panicked about imaginary health effects of smart meters, egged on by shoddy, sensationalist media reporting. The parallels between local government responses to smart meter hysteria and this scientifically ignorant push against “pesticides” is telling. As Bennett put it, when someone becomes convinced her child is at risk, “that mum is pretty darn compelling when she goes to council.” Few have the courage to stand up to that.

The committee sought advice from Health Canada, whose scientists approve conditions of use for chemicals. Health Canada representative Lindsay Hansen said B.C. was the first province to ask for its advice, despite the fact that most provinces have imposed bans. These bans are political, not public safety measures, University of Guelph toxicologist Keith Solomon told MLAs. The committee also learned that “cosmetic” use accounts for only five per cent of pesticide use. Most of it is in agriculture, forestry and commercial pest control, with no ban proposed. MLAs in farming areas signalled their concern over the effect of this urban gesture politics. Backyard fruit trees go unsprayed and pests spread to orchards and fields. The NDP is content to fan public fear and ignore evidence, as with smart meters and oil pipelines. The premier has a choice here. She can do the popular thing, or the right thing.

George Abbott Minister of Education

15, 2012] I am writing to correct claims made by Derek DeGear about Bill 22. It was clear that prolonged strike activity was not in the best interests of students. Accordingly, government passed Bill 22 to suspend the unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strike action and establish a mediation process to facilitate bargaining. Government appointed Dr. Charles Jago to mediate contract talks. Jago is the former president of the University of Northern British Columbia, has held academic appointments in Canadian universities for more than 40 years and received the Order of Canada. His experience provides a real opportunity to help resolve issues and reach an agreement. Bill 22 maintains all existing class size limits. Kindergarten classes cannot exceed 22 students, Grades 1-3 classes cannot exceed 24 students and Grades 4-12 classes will have a maximum of 30 students. As before,

classes in Grades 4-12 can exceed 30 students in exceptional circumstances, but only with the approval of the principal and superintendent. Bill 22 provides classroom teachers with additional compensation when a class exceeds 30 students. Teachers can take this compensation as a salary increase, additional preparation time or professional development funding. Bill 22 implements a $195million Learning Improvement Fund to increase support for students with special needs. School districts will have additional resources to hire more teachers and education assistants and support professional development. The Nanaimo-Ladysmith school district will receive $1,487,664 through the Learning Improvement Fund next year. I encourage all parties to make the most of the opportunity provided by mediation, move beyond the challenges that have characterized this school year and work together to improve our education system.

Make it Memorable! Call 245-2033 or drop in to order...

Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE

Jayse Van Rooyen can’t hide her enthusiasm for Ladysmith. The 20-year-old is representing Ladysmith as a candidate in the British Columbia Ambassador Program, and to raise money for the program, she is bringing the community loves together. She has gathered a group of Ladysmith musicians to play for a fundraiser she is calling Tunes and Tiaras in early June. Tunes and Tiaras will take place Fri., June 8 at Aggie Hall and will feature live music by the Common Band, Skellig, and Lena Birtwistle with Jen. The Ladysmith Kinsmen will be doing a bar, and there will be door prizes with baskets put together by Van Rooyen’s mother. The fundraiser starts at 7 p.m., and tickets are $15 at In the Beantime Café, Salamander Books and the 49th Café. Van Rooyen says the event started out smaller, as she and Evan Miller, who is in the Common Band, were talking during their class at Vancouver Island University one day about doing a fundraiser. Miller gladly jumped on board, then suggested Skellig, and Van Rooyen asked Birtwistle to participate. All the musicians were quick to offer their time. “It’s so cool because they’re all volunteering for this event,” said Van Rooyen. “It’s so nice because I’ve been friends with them all for a long time. It’s so nice to have these people behind you and supporting you. I love all those people who are doing it.” Van Rooyen, who was a Ladysmith Princess in 201011 and was named Miss Congeniality that year, is excited for her upcoming fundraiser and grateful to everyone who has helped her organize the event. “It was amazing how well it came together,” she said. Van Rooyen says a big thank you to her aunt, Loyola Van Rooyen Buck, who came up with the idea of doing the fundraiser at Aggie Hall and who

Van Rooyen is grateful to all the people who have been so supportive of her candidacy, from her Rotary Club sponsors to her friends and family and people she has met through working at In the Beantime Café. The B.C. Ambassador program is open to any young man or woman aged 17 to 23 who has previously held an Ambassador/ Royal title in B.C. Each year, three members are chosen to represent the youth of this province as B.C. Ambassadors and travel throughout the province promoting the program’s mandate of education, motivation and self-esteem. The program is a perfect fit for Van Rooyen, who is excited for the opportunity to represent Ladysmith and who loves getting out in the community and volunteering. “This is all in my element,” she said. “I love it. I love Ladysmith, and I love volunteering. This is great.”

One element of the B.C. Ambassador program is the People’s Choice Award, and voting is now open. People can vote once a day at www.bcambassador.com under “People’s Choice Ambassador” until Aug. 17, and the candidate with the most votes will win a scholarship, explained Van Rooyen. In the coming weeks, Van Rooyen will be putting donations cans in local businesses, and she is also working on organizing a Beer and Burger Night fundraiser at Cottonwood Golf Course in late June or early July. All the money Van Rooyen raises will help keep the B.C. Ambassador program going and will fund scholarships and bursaries for the candidates. “That’s really cool because anything we raise comes back to us ultimately,” said Van Rooyen. “It’s so great they’re so supportive of people wanting to go on to post-secondary education. I really like that because I really like school.”

Celebrating sunny days in Ladysmith

Transfer Beach and the Ladysmith Skatepark were busy places last week, as everyone took advantage of the sunshine and warmer temperatures. Clockwise from top left: Lynda Patrick spends some time hunting for shells with her daughter Christine Patrick and granddaughters Isla, 2, and Grace, 5. Colby Smith, 17, turns a trick on his razor scooter at the skatepark. Linda Ashman and Midnight spend some time playing ball at Transfer Beach.

inviting the community to come and see the finished canvas during Friday’s hanging at 3:30 p.m. The community canvas will hang on the outside of the gallery for much of the summer, hoping to attract people to the gallery and increase awareness about arts in the community for all ages. “Thirty feet is huge — it really is a big canvas, so it makes us distinct,” said Holmes. “It should be big, and it should greet people when they come off the water. People driving by often wonder what the building is, and this will give them an idea.” Holmes says the community canvas was so

much fun that the Art Council would love to do one in the winter to celebrate the Festival of Lights and would love to make this an annual project. Holmes thanks all the people who participated in the project. “This has gone beyond our wildest expectations,” she said. “It’s turned out so well, and so many people who love to paint showed up and the kids who showed up had a great time. All the people who put this together, it was amazing. We also want to show our appreciation to ArtsBC for sending us the money because it wouldn’t have gone without it.”

Marsha, a housewife, has a secret addiction to reading murder mystery novels. Marsha overhears her husband discussing her upcoming birthday surprise with an interior decorator. To her ears, though, it sounds like they are planning to murder her. Enlisting the help of her neighbour and maid, Marsha sets out to turn the tables. Adding to the complication is Marsha’s mother-in-law, who shows up for the party a day early and the maid’s boyfriend, a police officer Marsha suspects knows what she’s up to. And when Marsha’s intended victims discover what she has planned, they decide to teach her a lesson by actually pretending to be murderers. Let’s Murder Marsha runs until Sun., May 27, and tickets are $20. For more information or to reserve your ticket, call the box office at 250-9240658 or visit www.lady smiththeatre.com.

Ball tourney a family affair Families and friends of David Forrest and Cory Bailey gather to remember and raise funds for local grads Niomi Pearson THE CHRONICLE

This Saturday, softball enthusiasts will gather to raise money and pay tribute to two fallen community members during the David Forrest and Cory Bailey softball tournament at Aggie Field. The name of the game will be fun, as teams show up in colourful costumes and uniforms to raise money [in team fees] for scholarships. “It’s an opportunity to get together once a year and remember the boys,” said organizer Shawn O’Toole. “There’s no prizes, no umpires, no trophies; all the money raised just goes directly towards the scholarships.” The tournament has been going on for approximately 15 years, O’Toole said, and aims to raise at least $2,000 to be given to the Nanaimo-Ladysmith Schools Foundation.

That money is then put into three bursaries, a $1,000 bursary in Bailey’s name and two $500 bursaries i n F o r r e s t ’s n a m e , which are given out to Ladysmith Secondary School students at the end of the school year. The tournament was initiated after Forrest, 15, passed away of meningococcal meningitis. A few years later, the Bailey family was inducted when Cory lost his life in a tragic car accident. The tournament includes eight teams made up of friends and family, as well as students from LSS, and the Ladysmith Fire Department. “It’s a great time,” O’Toole said. Anyone interested in the game or wishing to remember Forrest or Bailey can come out to Aggie Field and cheer on the teams May 26. “If people wanted to come out and watch, PHOTOS SUBMITTED that would be aweThe Bailey and Forrest teams shake hands after a fun-fi lled match at Aggie Field. some,” O’Toole said.

He practised as a family physician in Chemainus for 36 years and loved his work. Every patient was important and he gave tirelessly. His family was the love of his life. Predeceased by his son, Christopher, he never ceased to grieve. His family; wife, Rondeau; daughter, Jennifer; sons, Doug and Tim; their spouses, Mark, Marlene and Vicki; the grandchildren, Courtenay, Dakota, Riley, Roan and Tara; sister, Sheila and brother, Vasey are saddened but happy, that he can, once again, live on. Memories of his enthusiasm and love for everything he did, from delivering a baby, to skiing or lighting a camp ďŹ re are his lasting legacy. His inner strength over the past few years was inspiring and he takes with him the love of everyone he knew. His family give him their hearts and rejoice in his release.
