Petitioners hope new Sunday Funday library will be built at BMX bike stolen former firehall site Niomi Pearson The Chronicle
A group of Chemainus residents, organizations and businesses are hoping a petition will help change the municipality’s decision to build a single-level library on the parking lot at Waterwheel Park. The petition, which had garnered about 600 signatures as of early this week, requests that the Municipality of North Cowichan and the Va n c o u v e r I s l a n d Regional Library (VIRL) select the former firehall site on Willow Street for the new library to be built. “The petition is reflecting a large number of people’s feelings that the new library should not be located in Waterwheel Park,” said Chemainus Chamber of Commerce president Peter Matthews. “The parking lot is viewed
as a town square for Chemainus and is the site of many, many weekly, monthly and annual events.With the library on there, it would impinge on that taking place.” The group, which includes represen tatives from the Chemainus Museum and the Chemainus Seniors Drop-In Centre, has formed an ad-hoc committee to explore alternative building sites. In the meantime, they are hoping to gather at least 1,000 petition signatures. “ We a r e p r o c e e d ing with that process and will be following the correct steps to introduce an alternative location for the library,” Matthews said. “It’s something that the Chemainus Advisory Committee, the Chamber of Commerce and the municipality will want
to respond to.” Murray Schafer of the seniors centre said being across the street from the park, he often sees the parking lot full. “This summer there’s been so many buses coming in and events,” he noted. North Cowichan Mayor Jon Lefebure said council voted in favour of the parking lot because the firehall had previously been identified as a potential site for a multiuse building, and that incorporating both a library and a multiuse building onto the same site would pose a lengthier and more complex planning process. “VIRL is looking for a single story standalone building, that’s their preference,” he added. “It was seen as a longer process requiring more money for the municipal por-
tion of the building.” He added that there was a desire amongst council members to create some new energy in Waterwheel Park. The next step in the process will be a public meeting hosted by VIRL and North Cowichan to discuss the services and layout of the new library. That meeting is scheduled for Oct. 11. As to what impact the petition could have on council’s decision, Lefebure declined comment. “I can’t tell you what council will do tomorrow ... council has the ability to reverse its position, I’m not saying that it will, I can only tell you where council is at today,” he said. “Only time will tell.” Copies of the petition are available for signing at the Chemainus Chamber of Commerce.

Excitement building for Stz’uminus canoe races Niomi Pearson The Chronicle
One local family is looking to keep the First Nations tradition of canoe racing afloat in Stz’uminus. The first Stz’uminus Canoe Festival takes place this weekend (July 21-22) at Kulleet Bay, and organizers Adam and Margaret Seymour say the excitement is building. “We want it to make it a community festival, and we want it to be annual,” Margaret said. “We want to keep this culture going.” Canoe clubs from all over southern Vancouver Island, the mainland, the Fraser Valley and Photo Courtesy of Barry Gray Washington have been invited to participate in Filmmaker Steve Sxwithul’txw, pictured here playing lacrosse while filming his new television series The Warrior Games, is the canoe races. coming to Kulleet Bay this weekend to shoot an episode about the Stz’uminus Canoe Festival. There will be everything from singles races and doubles, to six- and 11-member team races in both men’s and women’s divisions. “There’s different age groups,” Adam added. Spectators will get to see both strip canoes and traditional dugout canoes slice through the water. “Both do very well in the water,” said Adam, who has been racing for about 12 years. rooted in sport.

Tyler Davis follows family tradition as he graduates from VIU trades program Niomi Pearson The Chronicle
When 17-year-old Tyler Davis walked the Vancouver Island University (VIU) stage to receive his Heavy Duty and Commercial Transport Mechanics certificate two weeks ago, he was not only reaching a goal, but also continuing a multi-generational tradition in the trades. It all began with his great grandfather, Beatty Davis, who served on the Malaspina College board from 1968-74 — serving as board chair from 1972-74 — and was one of the original stewards of the trades program. Howie Davis, Tyler’s grandfather, graduated from the institution’s first welding class in 1957 when it was known as Nanaimo Vocational School. Tyler’s father Randy would graduate 30 years later from the Heavy Duty and Commercial Transport Mechanics program. Howie said the program was a natural fit for his grandson. “He’s worked around our place because we have a trucking company, and he’s worked on trucks since he was about 10 years old and he felt that he should carry on with it,” he said. Tyler said he didn’t really think about the family connection until after he had graduated. “It was just something I always wanted to do, and this [program] was a head start at it,” he said. Tyler took the entry-level training through the Career Technical Centre — a program operated through a partnership between VIU and School District 68 that allows students to begin work-

Green Good Cents tins out now Good Cents for Change wants to thank the people of Ladysmith, Cowichan and Victoria for their kindness in supporting their life-changing cause in the past year and encourage them to continue helping teens in Zambia. T h i s y e a r, t h e Ladysmith-based nonprofit charity has been able to set up five young women with their own sewing machines, accoutrements and material to start their own tailoring businesses. Two of the young women are deaf mutes and one is physically handicapped, according to a press release. “They have been
trained in tailoring for a year by our charity and now have the skills and confidence to go it alone,” it states. In April, Good Cents for Change held a successful fundraising Ladies’ Spring High Tea at St John’s Anglican Church. “It was a fun time for all, with ladies arriving in beautiful spring hats to enjoy a variety of dainties placed before them,” according to the press release. “Lorrain Jordan gave a short talk about Zambia and showed some of the work the charity has accomplished in the three years since its conception. A silent auction and door prizes completed the after-
noon.” T h i s N o v e m b e r, Lorrain Jordan is travelling to Zambia to bring even more life skills to the children.

Another neighbourhood in Kamaga has asked if Good Cents for Change can help them to set up an additional tailoring group there. “The needs are great in Zambia,” states the press release. “With the help and support of Ladysmith citizens, we are able to train more children. “We want to publicly give you credit for the
difference you are making in young lives in Zambia. All the money that is donated goes to support these children, and it always warms our hearts to receive photos of them using their new skills. They are also very appreciative of the funds they have received from Ladysmith residents for our bursary program, which helps them to establish their own businesses.” Every person donating to this cause receives a photo and information about the person he or she has helped. “Small home-grown programs like ours can be more effective than we could ever
Town wants to review transit options Staff Writer The Chronicle
Ladysmith council is hoping that a meeting with BC Transit will help clear up the picture about the town’s transportation options. B C Tr a n s i t h a s e x t e n d e d c o n s i d e ration of the allocation of 4,200 service hours to Ladysmith to July 15, and a meeting was planned for the Town of Ladysmith to review transit options with Mike Davis, vice-president of operations and chief operating officer of BC Transit. In light of this, Mayor Rob Hutchins introduced a resolution July 3 resolving that Ladysmith council request that
the Cowichan Valley Regional District ( C V R D ) Tr a n s i t Committee postpone consideration of the addition of Ladysmith into the CVRD Transit Function until July 25 and that BC Transit be requested to reserve the proposed 4,200 BC Transit Conventional Service Hours for 2013 until July 25. In making the resolution, Hutchins noted that it has come to the Town’s attention that BC Transit has a number of operating agreements with single municipalities, and in subsequent discussion with BC Transit officials, it is confirmed that an independent option is possible, subject to ratification
of the CVRD and that an option to join the Nanaimo Regional District transit system is possible but more problematic. The service hours were originally supposed to be allocated by June 30, but the CVRD Transit Committee has not completed its consideration of the expansion to Ladysmith, and the consideration of the allocation 4,200 hours has been extended to July 15 by BC Transit. Hutchins noted that the Town wishes time to consider an alternate service system. The Town has never varied from its position that it sought a northern transit connection first, as Nanaimo is the Town’s key service/

Your Words “They say the opening and closing ceremonies are just like the Olympics.” Maria De Leeuw, Page 17
A
bout a year before I was born, my mother and father immigrated to Canada with my three sisters from Wales, in the U.K. It was a scary undertaking for a young family, starting a new life nearly 4,700 miles away from everything you know and everyone you love. Although one of the only Canadian-born members of my family’s lineage, I grew up with fond memories of our Welsh culture — from baking Welsh Cakes with my mom and delighting in imported floral gums when Nana and Papa came to visit, to seeing my sisters decked out in the traditional high hat, petticoat, bed gown, apron and shawl that is the Welsh costume. The Old Country will always have a special place in my heart. So chuffed was I to learn and write about Brits on The Beach shortly after I first arrived in Ladysmith. Brits on the Beach is one of the many things to love about Ladysmith. Once again, Ladysmith’s gem, Transfer Beach, becomes the picturesque backdrop for a positive, unique community attraction which, at the moment, is absolutely free. Friends are sharing packed lunches on the grass beside their cars; enthusiasts are swapping stories and comparing notes while spectators and photographers take in the visual feast of 200 vibrant, polished cars (and a couple of motorcycles too!). For many of these enthusiasts, the prize possession they work so hard to maintain is not only a labour of love, time and passion, but also a fond glimpse of yesteryear. I can’t wait to see how Brits on the Beach will grow and continue to allow enthusiasts to share their passion for these beautiful pieces of culture with our community. Good show, chaps. Good show. — Niomi Pearson

y the time you read this, I should be in Vanderhoof, the geographical centre of B.C., to visit relatives. Born in the Okanagan, raised in the Peace country and working for 20 years in Metro Vancouver, I’ve driven from one end of the province to the other more times than I can count. A similar trip last year began just as a huge mudslide was cleared near Chilliwack. Other drives have featured mid-summer hail piled 10 centimetres deep on the Coquihalla, a near miss between two moose in the Pine Pass, plus the usual blizzards and hundreds of traffic jams for construction, accidents and growing urban volume delays. This time, I’ve got a new tool on board, the mobile version of DriveBC.ca on my BlackBerry. Launched two years, ago, the mobile site has taken off with the surging popularity of smart-
phones. In the past year, DriveBC’s online traffic averaged 1.2 million visits a month, about half to the five-year-old desktop site and half from mobile users. It’s by far the most popular B.C. government website. I asked DriveBC technical leader Nainesh Agarwal for these stats, and he said even he was surprised by the surge in mobile traffic in recent months. But trying out the mobile site, it’s easy to see the appeal. With a few clicks, the phone displays incident reports and web camera images for my chosen route. Webcams have been added steadily all over the province and now watch 18 key locations on Vancouver Island, 93 in the Lower Mainland, 73 in the Southern Interior, 35 in the North and 13 at Canada-U.S. border crossings. At a glance, you can check anything from the traffic at the Lions Gate Bridge to the lineup for the Skidegate ferry on Haida Gwaii. Most pictures update

every two minutes, offering a real-time look at traffic, weather and road conditions. A recent addition is “replay the day,” which shows the last 24 hours of pictures in a few seconds. Another new feature is an e-mail alert that can be customized. You can subscribe to a particular region or highway and receive notices as soon as they are posted to the DriveBC network. And of course there is an @drivebc Twitter feed, where between 6:30 a.m. and midnight, staff update conditions and respond to inquiries. Verified reports are fed from highways staff and contractors all over the province and co-ordinated through the provincial highways condition centre in the Lower Mainland. It’s become a primary source of information for radio and TV traffic and news reporters around B.C. The mobile service now has an option for drivers to report new problems they encounter. After determining your smartphone’s loca-
tion, the site displays the name and phone number of the local maintenance contractor who can take the report. For those who haven’t joined the smartphone era, there is an old-fashioned option. Dialing 5-1-1 anywhere in the province gives access to a toll-free line that connects to recorded DriveBC messages. Agarwal said use of that service has been declining as phones with web access become more popular. The 5-1-1 service also requires you to use the keypad to select your route from a numerical list, so drivers would have to pull over rather than breach the new restrictions on using handheld devices while driving. The 5-1-1 system still gets surges of heavy use during major events like the recent flooding. The plan is to upgrade the system to allow voice recognition, so drivers can use headsets to get updates on the move. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press newspapers.

Donors make postsecondary dreams a reality Editor:
Students in the class of 2012 from Ladysmith Secondary School are making their way into the world this year, with many of the graduates pursuing post-secondary education in the fall. For numerous students, a scholarship, award or bursary from the Nanaimo-Ladysmith Schools Foundation (NLSF) is the reason they can achieve that step towards pursuing their dreams. This year, our wonderful Ladysmith donors (individuals, businesses and service clubs) gave $103,325 in the form of community-based scholarships, awards and bursaries to 67 deserving Ladysmith grads. In 2008, the Foundation inherited the worthwhile work of the Nanaimo Schools Financial Awards Society, and we continue this important 30-year legacy of raising money for scholarships and bursaries and helping graduating students in our district pursue their dreams. The funds for all of the awards, bursaries and scholarships are completely supported by the service clubs, community organizations and private donors within the Ladysmith community. This program is completely reliant on community donors. Without these opportunities, many of our graduating students would not be able to continue on with their post-secondary education. The Foundation distributed 360 awards, bursaries and scholarships totaling $372,125 in both Nanaimo and Ladysmith this year. Our award program has grown over the years, and the Foundation is able to support more students than ever before, but the reality in our community is that more bursaries are urgently needed. The rising cost of post-secondary education and the increase in poverty in our community

Many deserving applicants didn’t get a bursary this year. Please consider making a difference by sponsoring an award, bursary or scholarship for local students for next year.

Why all the mystery? Editor’s Note: This is a letter written to Ladysmith council which was copied to the Chronicle. Editor: After reading the letter to the Chronicle from Rob Johnson, I wondered why so many meetings are held in camera. Surely most of the meetings cannot be about land use?

absent themselves to avoid any conflict of interest. What is the point of inviting the public if they are not allowed to know what is going on or to participate? Surely you realize this lack of transparency engenders suspicion whether it is warranted or not. We have a population of around 7,900. Our tax base is eroding. I think it would behoove you to start thinking of ways to increase town revenues other than increasing taxes. Don Harrison came up with a suggestion of an RV park. Has this been looked at seriously? Please stop spending money (ours!) on items we cannot afford and don’t need, such as the bike lane, trolley and a bus to Duncan. Whatever happened to the business concept of doing a cost/benefit analysis? Thanks to Paul Williams, I now know that the trolley cost the taxpayers close to $167,000 in 2011. This did not include any allowance for depreciation, housing or the cost of repainting the lines on the sidewalks, etc. Of this, $113,500 was for the salary of the trolley driver. Is this in line with what bus drivers earn in other parts of B.C.? This $167,000 was offset by a mere $11,000 in fares/donations. If we are saddled with a bus to Duncan (via Chemainus), the cost will be huge, and for some unknown reason, there will be no opt-out clause in the event of non-use. This means that Ladysmith will be forever subsidizing a Cowichan Valley Regional District (CVRD) project. Mr. Mayor, as a member of the CVRD, is there not a conflict of interest in that you are promoting this project, which is of no apparent benefit to the Ladysmith taxpayers? Ladysmith does not have a never-ending pool of money. I urge you to stop the spending on projects the taxpayers have no say about and to treat every single expenditure with caution as we taxpayers must do with our personal income.

BCTF hiring of social media co-ordinator a joke Editor: What comes around goes around. Unbelievable! Maybe it is time for the teachers of B.C. to ask [British Columbia Teachers’ Federation president] Susan Lambert what is going on in the world of their federation. The B.C. Teachers Federation is hiring a social media co-ordinator at a yearly salary of $92,696 being funded by the teacher’s union dues. In comparison, a social media development manager with the B.C. government is paid a salary of $58,511.52 per year, and a communicatons job with the University of Victoria pays a salary of $53,399 per year. What a joke when a teacher has to have a university degree to be employed. Joe Sawchuk Duncan

There’s no school like the OLD SCHOOL... Brits on the Beach 2012 Hundreds of car and motorcycle enthusiasts raced to Transfer Beach Sunday for the annual Brits on the Beach car show despite some idle threats of rain throughout the day. Their loyalty was rewarded with a visual feast of roughly 200 souped-up, shined-up vehicles and motorcycles, including MGs, Mini Coopers, Rolls Royces and Triumphs. Photos by Niomi Pearson
This year’s Brits on the Beach car show attracted its largest crowd ever.

Green works hard, they really mean it. The 27-year-old songwriter is right in the middle of his second cross-Canada tour in less than a year, visiting cities between his current home in Toronto and Langley, where he grew up. “I’m really looking forward to seeing familiar faces from the last time we travelled across but am also hoping to make some new friends along the way,” says Green. Green recently moved from Langley to Toronto to pursue

music, and he has been surprised by the momentum already. His community has broadened, and the opportunity to work with new artists has been positive. This tour is mainly solo shows, occasionally accompanied by other artists. Green says this is one of the first tours where after announcing dates, he started receiving e-mails from other bands saying they would be in the same cities on the same dates. “You really feel like you’ve cultivated an incredibly large music community when things like this happen,” he said. “Even though the road can be exhausting, knowing that other people are invested in music
enough to be travelling around as well is amazing.” Green is known for his well-crafted songs and engaging live performances. “It is rare to attend a show without being prompted to sing along or laugh as he relays an endearing anecdote,” states his press release. “Fans make a point of coming out to see him when he’s in town because they know that it will be an entertaining night of great songs, skilled musicianship and warm community.” Green’s show this Saturday at the Willow Street Café starts at 7 p.m., and admission is by donation.

Fundraiser for Amann family this Friday A fundraising concert to support the family of Jaedyn Amann will be held this Friday (July 20) at the Sportsman Pub. The concert will feature live music by Stone Vaughn Toole and Kush, as well as a 50/50 draw. The fundraiser starts at 9 p.m. Donations will be taken at the door, and all proceeds go to the Amann family, who lost their five-year-old girl. Jaedyn Amann was killed July 4 when she was struck by a falling soccer goal post in Watson Lake, Yukon. Her parents, Paul Amann and Tara Hicks, live in the Yukon and in Cedar, and she was about to start kindergarten out in the Cedar district. Since the tragedy, friends and family have come together to support the family. A trust fund has been set up at Island Savings. A garage sale, bake sale and barbecue is being planned for July 28 at Bethel Church, and a beer and burger and silent auction are planned for July 31 at the Eagles Hall.

Sports - BC Summer Games Local athletes go for gold Environment
Chronicle

Synchronized swimmer Paige Wilson is one of four local athletes ready to perform at the BC Summer Games.
Of the 3,000 athletes and coaches set to participate in this week’s BC Summer Games in Surrey, five Ladysmith area residents are ready to give their all. Representing Zone 6 (Vancouver Island/Sunshine Coast) are competitive swimmer Maria De Leeuw (see story below), synchronized swimmer Paige Wilson, track and field athlete Rachel Jerome, basketball player Maximillian Cummings (who was unable to be contacted by press time) and equestrian team head coach Deborah Fox. The BC Summer Games take place over four days, starting Thursday, in 20 different sports at venues across Surrey. For many of the athletes, such as 12-year-old Paige Wilson of Cedar, the Games will be the experience of a lifetime and a taste of the Olympic dream. “I’m so excited but so nervous at the same time,” she said. “I just want to make sure I know what I’m doing — I want to count to my music and be as close as I can on count.” Wilson has been a synchronized swimmer with the Nanaimo Diamonds for almost four years and was one of 10 athletes in the zone selected via competition in
the fall to compete. Synchronized swimming is a form of swimming where dance and gymnastics are combined in teams, solos, duets or trios. The groups are accompanied by music while they perform a routine in sync in the deep end of a pool. During “figures,” athletes are marked on poses that they perform for the judges, and those marks are tallied into the team’s final score, Wilson explained. “I stuck to it because I like dancing and I like swimming,” she said. “I love going to competitions; it’s really exciting and it’s fun.” After the Summer Games are over, Wilson plans to set her sights on trying out for the Diamonds’ national team. “I’m looking forward to having a good experience,” she said of the Games. For Rachel Jerome, who was featured in the May 29 edition of the Chronicle, the Games are a culmination of the effort she has put into her track and field training over the last year. “I’ve been training up for this, and this is what I’ve been waiting for,” she said. “I’m really pumped.” This week, Jerome will compete in long jump, triple jump and 100-metre sprints, and See Summer Page 18
Making a splash all summer long
Maria De Leeuw is the Chronicle’s Athlete of the Month for July and a Summer Games participant Niomi Pearson The Chronicle
The last 10 months have all been leading up to this. T h i s w e e k , L a d y s m i t h ’s M a r i a De Leeuw is making a splash in the BC Summer Games pool, and mere hours after the games close on July 22, the 13-year-old swimmer will fly out to Calgary to compete at the nationals. “I’m really excited; I know quite a few people from the Island going,” she said. “I’m really hoping to represent my swim team and community.” De Leeuw was selected to compete in the BC Summer Games due to accumulating the most FINA points in the Vancouver Island zone for the breaststroke. While at the Games, De Leeuw will compete in 100 breaststroke (a category in which she is ranked No. 1 in her age group), 200 breast-

Organized sport events, no matter how big or small, have an environmental impact. With the help of its motivated volunteers, the BC Games Society is striving to reduce its environmental impact and raise awareness. Community-driven programs initiated by the BC Winter and BC Summer Games volunteers are contributing to reducing the environmental impact of the Games and are developing leaders by increasing environmental awareness among Games participants, volunteers, and community members. For example, the 2008 BC Winter Games in Kimberley and Cranbrook established best practices to reduce environmental impact. A volunteer team of “Go Green” Ambassadors were active and visible during the Games implementing the plan and raising awareness. This community-led initiative developed youth leaders and established important benchmarks that future hosts could refer to in order to reduce their environmental impact. The 2010 Summer Games in the Township of Langley took the lead to ensure all food waste was composted and recycling bins were available at all sport venues. “The challenge for BC Games host communities is the great variety of available resources to implement changes in areas such as transportation, food services, and venue operations,” said Kelly Mann, president and CEO of the BC Games Society. “But, given that there is a clear desire by
participants and host communities to reduce environmental impact, the BC Games Society took the lead to develop information and resources for community volunteers to adapt to guide policy and implement action plans.” Before the 2010 BC Summer Games, Metro Vancouver, the regional government responsible for waste management in the Greater Vancouver area, provided policy and planning support. What resulted is a set of resources and samples that reflect the unique structure of the BC Games and consider the many different communities involved. The BC Games resource materials complement other established “green” Games standards such as a no-idling policy for all Games transportation vehicles. No bottled water is supplied to venues at the BC Games and athletes are required to bring a reusable water bottle to fill with tap water throughout their competitions. Greening the Games also comes in places you don’t expect. Until 2009, the BC Games torch was lit 100 days prior to the Opening Ceremony. This torch burned 900,000 cubic feet of natural gas and contributed 12 tonnes of green house gases to the atmosphere. The gas torch is now retired and replaced with an energy-efficient LED torch that draws 850 watts of energy — comparable to a household toaster. This torch symbolizes the innovation and initiative that the BC Games will strive to adopt with other environmentally responsible initiatives moving forward.

Mary Daniels
Mary Daniels, former long time resident of Chemainus, died peacefully June 29, 2012, in Halton Haven Hospice in Runcorn, Cheshire, England, after a hard fought battle with cancer. She was predeceased by her husband Alan in 2005 and is survived by a son and two daughters: Stephen (Kathy), Terry, and Michelle (Angela), and grandchildren: Samantha, Alan John, Kaitlin and Bryce, all in British Columbia; also fondly remembered by brother Richard (Marion), nieces Jean (Ron) and Maureen, and several other relatives in the UK. Mom was born in Widnes, England in 1925, and married Dad in 1952. They emigrated to Canada in 1954, first settling in Edmonton, then moving to Chemainus in 1966. Mom was formerly employed at St. Joseph’s School in Chemainus and was a parishioner of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church for many years. After Dad’s death, Mom decided to move back to her home town in England. She returned to Widnes in 2007 and lived independently in her home near her UK relatives, until the last couple of weeks of her life. Mom loved a good cup of tea, a brisk daily walk, crossword puzzles, mystery novels, and a few favourite UK television programs. A service was held July 9 in Widnes, England. Those wishing to do so can donate to Halton Haven Hospice in England at www.haltonhaven.co.uk or the hospice of your choice, in recognition of the wonderful work they do.
AMANN, Jaedyn Kimberley Lorraine March 27th, 2007- July 4th, 2012 It is with immense sorrow and sadness we announce the sudden and tragic passing of our beautiful daughter, granddaughter, great-granddaughter, sister, niece, great-niece, cousin and friend. Left behind to mourn the loss of Jaedyn are parents Paul and Tara; little brother Parker; grandparents John and Kim Graczyk of Ladysmith, BC, Gunter and Lorraine Amann, of Kelowna, BC; Tex and Marcia Hicks, formerly of Chemainus, BC; great-grandmothers Hilda Brown and Stefania Graczyk of Ladysmith; aunties Meagan, Natasha, and Catherine and uncles Dean, Steven, Johnathan, and Marc. Jaedyn will also be missed by many, many cousins, great-aunts, great-uncles and friends. Jaedyn’s beautiful smile, blue eyes, energy, humour, and love for life touched our hearts. In her short journey on earth, our crazy haired angel loved being around her family and friends, playing outdoors, riding her bike, drawing pictures, playing with her friends and eating cheerios. She is a true shining star that we will look for each evening, and know she is safe looking over us. We have received so much love and support of all kinds; and appreciate the kindness. There are so many special people that are a part of our lives and loved Jaedyn for the little girl she was. We cannot extend enough gratitude and thanks to the amazing people (too many to list) for the support we have received during this difficult time. A Celebration of Life for Jaedyn will be held on Sunday, July 22nd at 1pm located at the Ladysmith Secondary School, followed by a purple and pink balloon release at Transfer Beach. In lieu of flowers, the family of Jaedyn requests nothing more than for everyone to hold loved ones closer each day.
PERVERSEFF, JOSEPH J.
The choices are yours ...when you plan ahead. Call today for a free copy of:
Jan. 13, 1916 – July 6, 2012 Joseph J. Perverseff, at 96 years of age, peacefully graduated into the arms of his Lord, on July 6, 2012 at 5:30 p.m. at his place of residence in Chemainus, B.C. Joseph was born on the farm in Tallman SK. to Joseph F. Pereverseff and Anastasia nee Cheveldayoff. He will be greatly missed by his two remaining children: Kathy Cheveldayoff (Laurence) from Duncan B.C. and Ron Perverseff (Opal) from Lethbridge AB. Grandpa Joe left 7 grandchildren: Laurena Zondo (Harris) of Toronto, ON; Karrie Skead (Dave) of Duncan BC; Les Cheveldayoff (Diane) of Orlando Florida; Brad Perverseff(Samantha) of Calgary AB; Lisa Bryson (Bill) of Paradise City, Iowa; Trent Michayluk (Leah) of Calgary, AB; and Treena Michayluk of Edmonton, AB. He also left 9 great grand-children: Krystal Skead of Kelowna, BC; Dan Skead of London England; Dean Skead of Vancouver, BC; John Lauren Zondo of Toronto ON; Leslie, Leah and Jamie Cheveldayoff of Orlando Florida; Sola Perverseff of Calgary, AB; Dylon Michayluk of Calgary, AB. He is survived by one last sister, Mabel Onishenko of Prince Albert, SK. and a small number of nieces and nephews. Dear dad, grandpa, brother and uncle, you will be greatly missed. Our family times will miss that sweet tenor voice. Some of Joe’s achievements were directing the Blaine Lake-Saskatoon Doukhobor choir; historian/compiler of the Perverseff-Cheveldayoff-Egoroff family trees of which there are well over 1600 entries; accomplished journeyman carpenter (his model of the Perverseff family home is in the Saskatoon Historical Museum); skilled in diplomacy and peace building in both community and religious areas; and was a farmer, chauffeur and traveller. We will be honoring Joseph with intimate gatherings of family and friends in Chemainus and Calgary after which his ashes will be transferred to the Haralowka cemetery in Blaine Lake Sask., where they will be interred with the ashes of his wife, Lillian who pre-deceased him by 6 years and also his daughter Linda Michayluk who died in a tragic car accident. A Celebration of Life will be held on Tuesday July 24th at 2 pm at Calvary Baptist Church, 3318 River Road, Chemainus BC. E-mail condolences may be sent to lkkathy@shaw.ca and/or perverseff@gmail.com. WELL DONE THOU GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT! Telford’s of Ladysmith 250-245-5553
