Collision Repairs Need a Makeover?

Ladysmith’s biggest party of the summer will be moving back to its original time slot on the August long weekend. After careful consideration and plenty of community feedback, the Ladysmith Celebrations Society has decided to change the date for next year’s function, says chairperson Barry Frech. “People are asking constantly why not the long weekend — there’s no reason why not to,” he said. “I know it will work better for people.” Though attendance numbers seemed down this year, there was plenty of fun to be had from Coronation Mall and Transfer Beach to First Avenue and Aggie Field all weekend long during Ladysmith Days. “Everything went right for Ladysmith Days, including the weather,” said Coun. Steve Arnett.

Chemainus Legion suffers damage Staff Writer The Chronicle

The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 191 in Chemainus sustained substantial damage when a break-in occurred over the August long weekend. The break-in was reported to the RCMP, and a forensic examination was conducted. Further investigation is now underway. Substantial damage was caused by forcing open doors, disabling the Legion’s security system, breaking into the safe, removing the pull tab machine and other miscellaneous items, according to a press release from the Legion. “It is unfortunate that the people

Ultimately, the cost is to the community this Legion supports.” If anyone has any information about the break-in, they are asked to contact the North Cowichan/ Duncan RCMP at 250-745-5522 or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477.

Oyster Bay Quay developers raising the roof this week Niomi Pearson THE CHRONICLE

Developers of Ladysmith’s newest commercial development project are planning to “raise the roof” later this week. Oyster Bay Quay — a twolevel, 32,000-square-foot building zoned for light industrial use — has been pieced together through tiltup construction and is ready for assembly. Developer Carol Wagenaar says things have been moving at record pace since the groundbreaking in May, and the project is right on track for a Spring 2013 opening. “The gateway to Ladysmith is what we’re creating here — we’re taking an industrial piece of property that’s not very attractive and we’re building on the development that’s happening on the water side of our community,” said Wagenaar, who is heading the project with her husband Garry. “It’s

exciting because it’s going to be something very beautiful that will get people stopping in our town.” The building, at 1030 Oyster Bay Dr., is being built in two phases — once the first half (Phase 1) is fully leased, the construction of the second half will begin. Level 1 of the building will be accessed from the harbour side and has been designed for a mix of light industrial and retail uses. Level 2, accessed from the Trans-Canada Highway side, has been designed with office, retail or restaurant purposes in mind. Wagenaar said a small percentage of Phase 1 space has been leased, but she could not disclose which businesses would be moving in. “We’re working hard on our marketing plan and making contacts with potential tenants,” she said. “We’re looking to bring new businesses to Ladysmith.” She added that they are

also welcoming current Ladysmith businesses who want to consider optional, more modern and customizable space. With an approximate 24,000 cars passing through per day (from a 2008 study), the building also offers high visibility. “Ladysmith is a beautiful heritage town — not every business can operate in a heritage-type building,” said Wagenaar. Other possible uses for the space include medical and dental offices, financial services and wood product manufacturing. “This would be a great opportunity to create more of a building centre for cabinets, countertops, decorating, being in such close proximity to Home Hardware,” Wagenaar said. The crane will be arriving Thursday afternoon for the raising of the building, but Wagenaar suggested that anyone wanting to check out the building raising should

do so Friday morning. “It’s going to be really exciting to watch the panels being tilted up,” she said. “The building will actually be obvious to people at that point.” Concrete contractor Chris Truckle of CTT Pioneer Industries explained that tilt-up construction employs concrete casting in its method. All of a building’s fundamentals, such as walls, columns and structural supports are formed horizontally on a concrete slab. Then a crane is brought in to raise the pieces to a standing position and braced while the roof is put on. “This is faster, maybe a little more expensive, but you have a finished product once the panels are stood up,” he said. “It’s a stronger building; you could wood frame this building, but it wouldn’t be the same.” For full building details and contact information, visit www.oysterbayquay.com.

Bill Drysdale receives his Citizen of the Year Award Saturday morning during Ladysmith Days.

Bill Drysdale named Citizen of the Year Niomi Pearson

The Chronicle

Ladysmith’s 2012-13 Citizen of the Year is Bill Drysdale. The announcement was made Saturday morning, shortly before the Ladysmith Days parade. Doug Bell of the Ladysmith Maritime Society, last year’s winner, said he was pleased to introduce this year’s recipient. “Bill’s enthusiastic leadership and endless energy enables him to contribute so much to our community,” he said. “He’s very passionate about Ladysmith and contributes an enormous amount of time and energy to all aspects.” The Citizen of the Year Award is a time-honoured Ladysmith tradition. The award is presented for outstanding voluntary, unpaid community service over a period of time. Past recipients include Jim Cram, Kit Willmot and the Ladysmith and District Credit Union. Drysdale is a retired Air Force Warrant Officer with 28 years of service. He is heavily involved with the Ladysmith Search and Rescue, Festival of Lights, Maritime Festival and Health Care Auxiliary. According to Coun. Steve Arnett, who was overseeing the presentation on behalf of Mayor Rob Hutchins, Drysdale was an instrumental part of the playground project at Brown Drive Kin Park, as well as the renovations at the Ladysmith Museum, and Light Up. “He does all that kind of work that you don’t see behind the scenes,”

he said. Arnett said Drysdale is best known for driving around in his half-ton truck with a bed full of tools — ladders, wheelbarrows, shovels and more. “Wherever there’s a need to do something he’s out there; he’s like a Cub Scout — always prepared to help,” he said. Arnett admitted it was a bit of a challenge to get Drysdale to the presentation, with it being a confidential vote and because Drysdale usually helps out with the parade. He said he was able to persuade him to stick around by asking him to help him present the award. “There was probably nobody more surprised than he was,” he said. After accepting the award and a framed Ladysmith print, Drysdale exclaimed just how surprised he was. “It doesn’t fit with my 20-year plan of all the things I want to do to help Ladysmith — I figured I might be at the end of my 20 years, or so [by the time I received it],” he said. Drysdale said it is a pleasure to serve the town. He said he and his wife decided to move here after an afternoon sitting in the Printingdun Beanery having some coffee. “My wife said ‘I could live here; this feels like home,’ so we moved here and we never looked back. This is an amazing town filled with amazing volunteers,” he said. “They do what they can to make this town better, and I think we’re pretty successful at that.”

Opinion

Congrats on another great Ladysmith Days

www.chemainuschronicle.com

Your Words “He does all that kind of work that you don’t see behind the scenes.” Doug Bell, Page 5

was so excited to experience my first Ladysmith Days this past weekend, and it sure didn’t disappoint. Congratulations and thank you to all the volunteers who worked tirelessly to make sure this annual celebration was fun for the whole family and for the whole community. I know the Ladysmith Celebrations Society is a small group, but they’re a very dedicated group, and they sure know how to throw a party. I had a great time wandering along First Avenue, watching the parade, listening to the live music, oohing and aahing over the fireworks show and listening to the laughter around me as children ran around and friends found each other in the crowds. This year’s theme for Ladysmith Days was “Ladysmith Has It All,” and, looking around First Avenue on Saturday or walking around Transfer Beach on Sunday, it sure seemed like it. We are truly lucky to live where we live and be surounded by great people, and Ladysmith Days felt like a real celebration of that. Sure, it sounds like people missed having the logger sports, and maybe some people thought the parade could have been longer, but there were many opportunities for local singers to share their talents, many activities to keep children entertained and lots of reasons to spend time in Ladysmith. One thing we’ve heard people say is they wish Ladysmith Days had stuck to the August long weekend, and it was announced during this year’s event that the 2013 Ladysmith Days celebrations will be be moving back to the long weekend. Lots of people seem excited to hear this, and this seems like a great way to bring family and friends from elsewhere to Ladysmith to discover everything this community has to offer. — Lindsay Chung

B.C. liquor laws finally effective BC Views

by Tom Fletcher

ere’s a summer scene being played out all over North America. Family van pulls up to the corner store to stock up on a few camping essentials: pop, chips, hot dogs, a case of beer and a bottle of vodka. Not in B.C. you say? It happens every day at rural agency liquor stores around the province. As with many other issues, there is one reality for urban B.C. and another for the rest of us. Selling booze in grocery stores would presumably create anarchy in B.C cities and towns, but villagers and their visitors somehow manage it, just as everyone does across the line in Washington or Alaska. These rural agency stores are “flyspeck operators,” sniffs an acquaintance who spent his career as a union activist in government liquor stores. Picture dusty old bottles on a rickety shelf, greedy owners and poorly-trained clerks more

likely to sell to underage drinkers. Similar generalizations can be heard about the hundreds of private liquor stores that have popped up around B.C. since they were legalized. And, in fact, there have been more violations in private stores, revealed in sting operations run by liquor inspectors. In the year ended March 31, 54 private stores were caught selling to a minor, for an 84-percent compliance rate. Only four government stores were caught, a pass rate of 96 per cent. Five rural agency stores were tested, and one flunked. But here is the telling statistic. In 2010, the government allowed liquor inspectors to employ actual minors to test stores. Previously, they hired people who looked young but were old enough to buy alcohol, As late as 2009, two out of three stores (government or otherwise) sold to them. Problem is, that’s not an actual offence. Now, liquor inspectors send in undercover teens, and

relieve them of the evidence when they are allowed to buy booze. The watchdog now has teeth, and compliance has jumped. The government glossed over the poorer performance of private stores. But in fairness, three times as many private stores as government ones were targeted in the new inspections, and the gap is narrow. Government stores also have a huge built-in financial advantage in their wholesale rate and are generally overstaffed by private sector standards. The B.C. Liberals also moved this spring to make rural agency stores easier to establish. Regulation changes brought the minimum population served from 300 down to 200 and eliminated a vague requirement for a “bona fide community” to exist around the store. Meanwhile, the big booze story this year is cabinet minister Rich Coleman’s plan to sell B.C.’s warehouse and distribution monopoly to a private contractor. The B.C. Government

Employees’ Union has protested, despite assurances that their jobs will continue. B.C.’s burgeoning craft beer industry has looked to Alberta’s all-private model and predicts higher costs. The B.C. Liberal government has been on the defensive from the start, with the NDP pointing to the paper trail of lobbyists with an apparent inside track. It’s great politics, but it matters little to consumers in an increasingly competitive but heavily taxed business. Another new regulation took effect this summer, creating a $525 fine for adults serving minors, on the job, at home or as a bootlegger. Parents who provide booze for their own underage children are exempted. If the issue really is public safety and teen binge drinking, the key job for government is to regulate sales effectively. Once that is done, no justification remains for government liquor sales. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press newspapers.

Editor: On behalf of the family of the late Jaedyn Amann, Paul Amann and Tara Hicks would like to extend heartfelt gratitude and thanks to the many gracious and caring people who put in so much time and energy to plan and assist with the amazing fundraisers held recently in Ladysmith, as well as the local businesses for contributing their services in order to help Jaedynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family. The support has been tremendously appreciated. The list of people to thank goes on and on, and for that reason, the family gratefully acknowledges the wonderful support you have shown them over the past few weeks. Ladysmith is a very special place, and Jaedyn too would have been so proud to see the love and support you have all given during this time. Thank you. Tara Hicks and Paul Amann Cedar and Watson Lake

Protesting smart meters in Ladysmith Editor: Last Wednesday, a small group of us held signs up in downtown Ladysmith for the noon hour in protest of the smart meters. We had a great response. Those downtown at that time would have heard the honking of cars passing by. Ninety-nine per cent of the people I spoke to are opposed to the smart meters, either upset that they have to lock them up and put refusal signs on them, or outraged that the meters were installed on their houses before they had any information on them. They want them removed. There are so many issues around

I think it would be a lovely tribute to a beautiful young girl and remind us to always keep our kids safe within the Town of Ladysmith. On another note, Ladysmith Days seemed to be a little less attended this year, and I was very happy to be made aware that the event will be heading back to the August long weekend in 2013! Very good news! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be letting all of my friends and family know that they can plan to come to Ladysmith again for a long weekend of festivities and family fun!

Chemainus singer and comedian Nick Schols has been working on his one-man show A Wooden Shoe in Canada for the last year, and this week, he will debut it during the Fringetastic Fringe Festival in Nanaimo. From Aug. 16-26, eight theatre companies from across North America descend on downtown Nanaimo to perform at the Port Theatre and the Vancouver Island Conference Centre for the second annual fringe theatre event.

TIDES

Nick the Entertainer is performing his one-man show A Wooden Shoe in Canada at the FringePhoto Submitted tastic Fringe Festival.

Nick the Entertainer performing in Nanaimo From Page 10 Alberta and Washington State, and many will be coming from Vancouver Island. The types of performance range from one-person musical storytelling to a self-described “theatre of chaos” involving eight performers and a technician busy enough to count as the ninth performer. New to Fringetastic this year is the Fringehub. Starting this Wednesday (Aug. 15) with the Preview Show, the Port Theatre will dedicate its lobby to hosting a variety of fringe events from 7- 9 p.m. each night. The Preview Show features “sampler” performances from each Fringetastic participant and gives audiences a chance to get the inside scoop before the festi-

val starts on Thursday. In addition to live performances each night, the Fringehub will also host a chalkboard where audiences can leave their own reviews, and of course it is the main ticket centre. To f i n d o u t m o r e about the second annual Fringetastic Fring Festival and purchase tickets, visit www.fring etastic.com. A Wooden Shoe in Canada will be shown at the Nanaimo Conference Centre Thurs., Aug. 16 at 7 p.m., Sat., Aug. 18 at 9 p.m., Fri., Aug. 24 at 7 p.m., Sat., Aug. 25 at 7 p.m. and Sun., Aug. 26 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $8.

Kings Without will rock Transfer Beach Amphitheatre this Sunday Caitlin McKay THE CHRONICLE

The Ladysmith Resources Centre Association (LRCA) prepares to welcome Kings Without to its Concerts in the Park series. Kings Without will play in Ladysmith this Sunday (Aug. 19) at the Transfer Beach Amphitheatre. They

may be rockers, but the band is family friendly, and the open venue guarantees a good spot to watch. Kings Without originated in Nanaimo but plays primarily out of Tofino. They are the house band for the prestigious Clayoquot Wilderness Resort, which is located just outside of the oceanside town. After

building a loyal following on the Island, Kings Without began to branch out to the mainland. Their career took off from there. They toured Canada and attracted the attention of music lovers and music producers. The highlight of their career, so far, has been playing backup to music superstar

Wheatsheaf men bring home title Greg Sakaki Black PRess

After an entire regular season and a best-ofthree final, only one run separated the champions from the runners-up. The Wheatsheaf fastball club defeated Palladian Developments 8-7 Aug. 2 at May Richards Bennett Pioneer Park to win the Nanaimo Senior Men’s Fastball League title. The finale was worthy of a championship game, as both teams needed to compete hard until the final out. Wheatsheaf scored six runs in the first inning and built a margin that proved too much for Palladian to overcome. “It’s important in any game, but in the big games it’s especially important to get up early on them,” said Chris McCormick, Wheatsheaf player. “We just hit the ball hard.” Blake Hunter, another Wheatsheaf player, said after his team lost Game 2 in extra innings, it made sure to be “ready and amped up” for the rubber match. It showed in that big first inning. “When you do stuff like

that, it kind of brings the other team down and brings the energy level up on your side,” Hunter said. But Palladian nearly had a comeback in them. “It was tough,” Hunter said. “They’ve done it to us all year; every game, we’ve gone up and they’ve seemed to find a way to claw back.” The Wheaties will compete in the Western Canadian championships later this month, but in the meantime, they’ll enjoy this victory. “It’s the first one we’ve got as this group so it means a lot to all of us,” Teams fight for the upper hand during Sealegs Kayaking’s annual Ladysmith McCormick said.

Congratulations Rhea Clair Simpson Barbra Dianne Cargill (nee Vink) April 28, 1958 - July 31st, 2012 It is with immeasurable sadness that we announce the passing of a unique and amazing partner, mother and friend. Barb was born in New Westminster, B.C. but spent a large portion of her life in Nanaimo; and the past six years in Yellow Point with her spouse and best friend, James Bastian. While in Nanaimo, she raised three children, Blake (Sally), Camille (James) and Charlotte. Predeceased by her father Dave in 2003, Barb is also survived by her mother Ruth, sister Darlene (Stan), brothers David, Jay and Robert (Kim), â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;stepkidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Kyla (Shawn) and Janna as well as nephews Pavel, Nigel and Aidan. Also missing â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bubbaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; will be grandchildren Jordan, Calob and Eli. Barb will be remembered for a lot of great qualities, but especially for her easily brought on laughter, which entered a room before she did. She brought a new meaning to the word â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;courageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in her battle with cancer and died peacefully at home with Jamie by her side and the ocean in her view. Many thanks to; Dr. Hart, the doctors and staff at N.R.G.H. Emergency, Naturopathic Dr.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s McKinney, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neil and Yim and the homecare nursing staff. Special thanks to special friends Glynis and Diane, who helped her through her ďŹ nal days and made her feel like a lady again, and to Richard and Sandi; whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support has been immense. Celebration of life to be announced, in lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers, a donation to B.C. Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital would be appreciated.

Graduated from Vancouver Island University with a Bachelor of Business Administration, International Business Concentration Your family is so proud of you!
