In just less than two weeks, the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock will make its annual cycle through Ladysmith in an Island-wide effort to raise money for pediatric cancer research. On Mon., Oct. 1 at around 2 p.m., the riders will roll into town and be escorted by a town crier (played by Rob Johnson) and pipe band to an official reception in the Ladysmith and District Credit Union parking lot. Emcee Duck Patterson will be on site to help rally donations and build excitement amongst the crowd. According to Noriko Nakahara, who helps organize the Ladysmith stop of the tour, preparations are underway for the community welcome, and she is hoping for a bigger and better turnout this year. “The riders are always greatly received in Ladysmith,” she said. Last year during the Ladysmith stop, approximately six brave local souls stepped onto the makeshift barber’s stage to have their hair removed to

raise more money for the cause. Nakahara is hoping to co-ordinate efforts with local schools to increase community involvement at the reception. “We’re hoping we’re going to get at least as many head shaves as last year, maybe more,” she said. As is tradition, a Red Serge Dinner will be held on the evening of the Tour de Rock riders’ arrival at the Eagles Hall. Doors will open at 6 p.m., with a full-service roast beef dinner and dessert to follow at 7 p.m. Attendees will get the opportunity to learn all about the ride, be waited on by members of the local RCMP, meet the Tour de Rock riders and bid on auction items to raise money. “We’re out collecting donations of goodies from people for auction items now,” Nakahara said. Tickets are limited and are available now at the Ladysmith Community Policing Office at Coronation Mall or the Canadian Cancer Society office. The cost per person is $35.

Fundraiser for Forster Friday

Body Resource Studio is holding a silent auction to raise money for Jenna Forster’s medical treatment during its grand opening this Friday evening Lindsay Chung The Chronicle

A Ladysmith business that focuses on health and wellness is raising money to help one of its clients with her health issues. This Friday (Sept. 21), Body Resource Studio is hosting a grand opening celebrating its brand-new studio in downtown Ladysmith, and it will be holding a silent auction benefit for Ladysmith businesswoman Jenna Forster at the same time. There will be wine and cheese, music and a meet and greet at the studio at 14-740

Robson hopes Friday’s silent auction will also raise awareness about Lyme disease. Lyme disease works slowly to shut down the human body through its impact on the central nervous system, and it is transmitted by the very tiny tick insect that burrows under the skin and carries the disease to humans, according to a press

release from Body Resource Studio. “Bringing awareness of this disease is important because in B.C., we’re all about hiking and outdoors,” said Robson. Ly m e d i s e a s e i s widespread in the U.S., and to date, there have been more than 60 confirmed cases in British Columbia, according to Robson. Body Resource Studio, which used to be above Worldly Gourmet on First Avenue, moved into this new building in July. The studio offers full pilates and yoga training. “We’re in the business of health and living life well, and this was a good way to promote it, bring awareness and help Jenna at the same time as we celebrate the grand opening of our new studio in a new building,” said Robson. Robson is still looking for companies to donate products or services to the silent auction, and she is particularly hoping companies or individuals can donate health-related items and items for men. If people don’t have products to donate, Robson says they can also donate cash and cheques, which will go directly to Forster for her medical treatment. To d o n a t e i t e m s for the silent auction, contact Robson at 250-667-1389 or pilates@brstudio.ca.

Mayors share their success stories at eighth Global Mural Conference

Caitlin McKay The Chronicle

Taxpayers around the world can breathe a sigh of relief — they won’t have to pay for the revitalization of their community. That was one of the main themes at the eighth Global Mural Conference (GMC) Mayor’s Roundtable Sept. 11 in Chemainus. Ladysmith Mayor Rob Hutchins told delegates at the conference that municipalities have to be innovative when strapped for cash and not always rely on the taxpayer. “Partnerships are key to success. You can’t go to the taxpayer anymore; it is impossible to achieve what we want to achieve just through the taxpayer,” he told delegates. “So partnerships are critical to build the community. Part of that is

building pride in the community in order to build unbelievable support for a simple vision, to beautify the community.” The Mayors Roundtable was a chance for the mayors of North Cowichan, Parksville, Qualicum Beach and Ladysmith to inform delegates of what they have done to revitalize their communities to build economic growth. Hutchins took delegates through a history of Ladysmith and the transformation the community had to undergo after the logging industry left. He encouraged other municipal leaders to be confident in change. “You need to diversify your economy,” he said. “We used to be so resource-based. You need to be innovative, flexible and creative — it’s part of

our culture. Money will flow to where there is confidence. I am so saddened by people who think the sky is falling if we continue to grow. The worst thing we can do is use the word ‘ghost town.’ What kind of person wants to invest in a ghost town? If we are confident, then money will flow here.” The mayors of each community all had the same message for the audience — build on what is there and build a brand. “What did we have? We had iconic streetscapes,” said Hutchins. “So in 198586, we said, ‘we have to do something.’ So we created an iconic First Avenue during a recession, and we adapted the brand Heritage by the Sea. In 1994, Statistics Canada said we were the fastest-growing community

in British Columbia because of our effort to revitalize.” For the most part, the mayors agreed with each other — except when it came to which town had the best waterfront. Parksville Mayor Chris Burger joked that Ladysmith had it wrong, that his town had the nicest waterfront. To m A n d r e w s , President of the Festival of Murals Society, said he was quite pleased with the Mayor’s Roundtable Caitlin McKay/Chronicle and he thought the mayors had a strong Vancouver Island mayors, from left, Teunis Westbroek (Qualicum Beach), Rob message for delegates.

Communities should focus on cultural tourism Lindsay Chung The Chronicle

Cultural tourism should be an important part of building a successful destination. That was a message Bill Baker brought to the Global Mural Conference in Chemainus. B a k e r i s p r e s i d e n t o f To t a l Destination Marketing in Portland, Ore., and he helps small cities and downtowns become more competitive, enjoyable and economically successful. He presented the Ground Rules for Community Success in Cultural Tourism to conference delegates on Sept. 11. In 2011, the tourism industry created one in 10 new jobs in the U.S., Baker told delegates. “The important thing is the realization of the economic force of tourism,” he said. “Tourism jobs can’t easily be outsourced to other places so they start playing a very important role. However, tourism is not the panacea … It can’t do it all, but as a mix of businesses, it can be very effective.” Baker says new terms such as “creative economy” and “cultural economy” are creeping up as the focus of economic development shifts away from resources. “This calls for the fostering of links and connections … knocking down silos between planning, economic development, arts, tourism and culture,” he said. Baker told conference delegates that cultural tourists spend more money when they are travelling. During his presentation, Baker shared the characteristics of highly successful destinations.

Visionary leadership and planning are important characteristics, and Baker says collaboration is key. “Partnerships are the lifeblood of tourism,” he said. Drawing power is also important, explained Baker. Baker says some of the important questions people need to ask are how many target visitors they can attract and from where, can they generate repeat visitors, and can they extend the length of stay. “The rule of thumb is destinations need enough activities to keep visitors engaged for four times as long as it took them to get there,” he said. Successful destinations also need a sense of place that makes people want to spend their time in that community, they need high quality, they need to be sustainable, they need to be authentic, and they need to be easy and accessible, noted Baker. As times change, destinations also need to be experiential. “Our visitors have changed,” said Baker. “We’ve changed. We’re much more active than past generations. We’re more prepared to spend money on our passions. Visitors are much more discerning than they used to be; they’re interested in unusual things, in doing something different. Ask yourself can they see, touch, smell, taste and interact hands-on with your city.” Another of Baker’s key messages was to build a distinctive brand. “You must build on what makes you different and what makes you special,” he said. “[Branding] is not just what you say about yourself — you have to deliver that as well. What do you want to be known for? What sets you apart?”

Built in 1912, Diamond Elementary was originally a oneroom school. An additional room was added in the 1950s. When the LPS signed a five-year renewable lease in December 2003, the building had been vacant since approximately 1985. Mason says the school board has been very helpful and cooperative throughout the years. “The school board hasn’t been difficult at all, and they’ve been good landlords,” he said.

Mason, president of the LPS. “We’re asking for them to give us five years to come up with the full amount. Should our offer be accepted, it will require us raising the money.” The LPS currently pays rent to SD68, about $650 a month, and the society would continue to pay that money, but it would go toward the purchase price. Purchasing the property would give the LPS a sense of stability. “It would mean there would always be a theatre,” said Mason. “The first five years or so we were there, we had a five-year lease, and then about four years ago, the school board told us they were going to have to sell it, but they didn’t know when. They put us in a month-to-month occupancy permit instead of a lease, so we’ve known for at least four years that this was a possibility. “Because Ladysmith doesn’t have anywhere else that could be a theatre without spending huge amounts of money starting from scratch or altering a building, we don’t have anywhere to go but here. If they don’t accept our offer, we may not have a theatre in Ladysmith because we have nowhere else to go. It’s a very important thing, and we’re really hopeful.” The LPS has a full season of plays planned for 2012-13, and the executive voted last

Stock the Lockers raises $8,000 in Ladysmith area Lindsay Chung The Chronicle

In only one month of fundraising, the Stock the Lockers campaign raised $8,000 for students in Ladysmith and North Oyster. Stock the Lockers raises money to equip students for school — whether they need running shoes, warm coats or school supplies — and the program is run through the Nanaimo-Ladysmith Schools Foundation (NLSF). Mimi Zuyderduyn, who ran Stock the Lockers in Ladysmith along with Delana Sword, says donations are still coming in, but when she brought all the donations to the NLSF on Sept. 12, they were very impressed with the Ladysmith total of $8,000. Zuyderduyn says she and Sword were a bit surprised they raised so much money in a relatively short time. “We thought if we could get to $4,000, we’d be thrilled,” she said. “I was joking that we’d get to $5,000 — $1,000 for each school. We’re just really thrilled. We were just really surprised how much need there is in this area. We’re just happy to have been able to make a difference for them.” Ladysmith council proclaimed August as Stock the Lockers Month in Ladysmith, and volunteers had information tables, donation cans and posters throughout town. Zuyderduyn was thrilled with the community response to Stock the Lockers. “Everybody was receptive,” she said.

Pictured here, from left, are: Nanaimo-Ladysmith Schools Foundation (NLSF) president Fred Kolodrubsky, NLSF executive director Erin van Steen, Stock the Lockers volunteer Delana Sword and NLSF director Jim McIvor. Photo Submitted “Everybody was so supportive and generous. It was just coming from every direction too. Even kids were throwing in quarters and nickels, and it all adds up, as we know. We’re just delighted with the response, but not surprised because Ladysmith is such a generous community — we’re just thrilled to be part of it.” For the entire Nanaimo-Ladysmith region, the NLSF exceeded its fundraising goal this year for the Stock the Lockers campaign, raising more than $54,000. For the third year, campaign partner Staples has taken donations at the checkout of its two Nanaimo locations, and they raised $18,000. Coastal Community Credit Union was involved for the second year through accepting donations and running events at its four branches, and they raised more than $8,700. Funds from Stock the Lockers go towards the purchase of school supplies and to help provide necessities for students throughout the year through the

NLSF Student Support Fund. The NLSF Student Support Fund was created three years ago to get funds directly to school principals, teachers and counsellors to assist vulnerable students to ensure they get the help they need to succeed in school. This includes shoes or coats, more school supplies if needed, money to cover band or athletic fees, bus passes and other necessities. The fund aims to ensure that issues associated with poverty do not prevent students from learning alongside their peers. “Coming to school prepared in September can be the difference between success and failure for vulnerable students, and with the help of the Nanaimo and Ladysmith community, those students are prepared this year,” NLSF executive director Erin van Steen said in a press release. People can still donate to Stock the Lockers by sending donations to the Nanaimo-Ladysmith Schools Foundation and designating them for Ladysmith.

Fox’s legacy keeps growing

Your Words “We’re boldly going where no man has gone before.” Mike Rankin, Page 17

hirty-two years ago, Terry Fox said, “I just wish people would realize that anything’s possible if you try; dreams are made possible if you try.” He was running his Marathon of Hope across the country to raise money for cancer research, and more than three decades later, people all over the world who have been inspired by his story to continue to try to find a cure for cancer. Fox began his run April 12, 1980, in St. John’s, Nfld., and he ran close to 42 kilometers a day through the Atlantic provinces, Quebec and Ontario. Fox, who was diagnosed with bone cancer and forced to have his right leg amputated 15 centimetres above the knee when he was 18, had to stop his Marathon of Hope outside of Thunder Bay, Ont., on Sept. 1 after 143 days and 5,373 kilometres because cancer had appeared in his lungs. Terry Fox passed away June 28, 1981, at the age of 22. While he was alive, he inspired an entire nation with his determination and his courage. Although he didn’t finish his Marathon of Hope, it became the start of something incredible that unites adults and children of every age, every size, every race and every religion. The first Terry Fox Run was held Sept. 13, 1981, at more than 760 sites in Canada and around the world. The event attracted 300,000 participants and raised $3.5 million. Terry Fox Runs are now held in communities small and large all around the world, and there’s even a Terry Fox National School Run Day, which this year is Sept. 27. To date, more than $600 million has been raised worldwide for cancer research in Fox’s name through the annual Terry Fox Run, according to the Terry Fox Foundation. Here in Ladysmith, we saw evidence of Fox’s legacy on Sunday when the Terry Fox Run attracted 104 participants and 30 volunteers. With donations still coming in, the local run raised $2,209 and counting. Congratulations to everyone who participated and thank you to everyone who volunteered. You are all part of passing on Terry Fox’s story and keeping his legacy alive. — The Chronicle

Stakes go up in B.C. gas gamble BC Views

by Tom Fletcher

ike de Jong’s debut as B.C. finance minister was a grim one. The first financial update for this election year projects a $1.4-billion decline in natural resource revenues from Kevin Falcon’s one and only budget in February. Most of that is from declining natural gas revenues in the next three years. And it’s not just the price of gas that’s lower than the finance ministry’s array of private sector experts had forecast. The volume of B.C. gas sold is down as well, as abundant new sources of shale gas come on-stream in the U.S. As with oil, that’s currently the only market Canada has. And it wasn’t long ago that the energy ministry was trumpeting its monthly totals for “bonus bids” paid by gas companies for drilling rights in northeastern B.C. That gold rush has wound down as shale deposits are staked and the price falls.

De Jong’s response shows how serious this problem is for any B.C. government. He inherits Falcon’s political commitment to present a balanced budget next spring. How he will do that, and be believed in a heated post-HST election campaign, remains a mystery. De Jong announced a hiring freeze for government staff, and a management salary freeze across health care, universities and Crown corporations as well as government operations. He hinted at an even harder line with unions, as the government’s largest employee group continued selective strike action. This, and the familiar vow to rein in travel and other discretionary spending, won’t come close to replacing the lost gas revenues. Asset sales, which Falcon came up with in a desperate effort to dig the government out of its huge sales tax hole, won’t show up on the books until next year, if they go ahead at all. Raising taxes or fees? Forget it. It’s either cut programs or run

another deficit. The one glimmer of hope in what de Jong called the “ugly” resource revenue picture is that natural gas revenues don’t have much farther to fall. And then there is the light at the far end of the tunnel — exports to Asia, where the price remains much higher. That project took two important steps forward last week. Spectra Energy and British multinational BG Group unveiled plans for a third major pipeline to bring northeast gas to the coast, this one to a site near Prince Rupert proposed for a liquefied natural gas facility. And on Friday, the Haisla Nation and the B.C. government announced a land use agreement to develop another LNG export facility on the Douglas Channel near Kitimat. Two proposals in that area have already received federal export permits and financing from global energy players, including Chinese, Japanese and Korean companies. One of the bills jammed

through by the B.C. Liberals in the hectic legislative session this spring was to do away with another of those federal-provincial overlaps that make industrial development so slow and difficult. Ottawa has sole authority to regulate reserve lands but agreed to delegate that to B.C. and the Haisla, allowing them to pioneer the latest agreement. This is a major breakthrough, not just in the industrial development of northern B.C. but in dismantling the century-old logjam of aboriginal resource claims. At the centre of Premier Christy Clark’s much-promoted jobs plan is the target of having three LNG export terminals and associated pipelines in production by 2020. That now looks like a more realistic target. But the jobs and revenues won’t arrive in time to save the B.C. Liberals from their current predicament. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press newspapers.

Habitat holding another Ladysmith meeting Sept. 22

Government Contacts LOCAL: Rob Hutchins Mayor, Ladysmith 250-245-6403 rhutchins@ladysmith.ca

Editor: Does Ladysmith really have an affordable housing shortage? Up until Sun., Sept. 9, I had definitely thought that we did. When I served as an elected official from 2002-08, our council was regularly challenged to try to figure out how to provide housing that fell into an “affordable” range. As a local realtor, I’m often questioned about the price levels of homes in and around our town — much too high, I’m told. On Aug. 29, the Chronicle printed a wonderful, heart-warming story about Teresa Battle and her family moving onward and upward and how they’ve generously donated their home back to Habitat for Humanity — they are indeed a perfect example of how Habitat can make an amazing difference in people’s lives. For three weeks, Habitat had a notice in the local paper telling residents that this home would now be available for another Ladysmith family and provided the place and times to attend information meetings. There have also been posters in numerous locations giving details of where and when to attend these meetings regarding applying for an opportunity to purchase the home. These posters were in many public areas. I find it really difficult to believe that only three, yes three, families are in need of quality affordable housing in Ladysmith. On Thurs., Sept. 6, three families attended the session at Eagles Hall. On Sunday afternoon, Sept. 9, no one arrived for information. Quite incredible! And extremely disappointing as well. I will admit that getting information out into the community can be difficult at best, BUT I also find it hard to believe that such a small number of potential Habitat home owners knew of or could attend either of these meetings. What a shame, to put it bluntly. Habitat will be planning another Ladysmith meeting, now scheduled for Sat., Sept. 22 at 1 p.m.. at the Eagles Hall on French Street.

If you have any photos you would like to share, please send them to editor@ ladysmithchronicle.com. If you won’t be able to attend this meeting and would like information regarding making application for Habitat home ownership, please call Habitat’s Nanaimo office at 250-758-8078 or visit www.habitatmvi.org. You are also welcome to e-mail me at ja nchris@shaw.ca with any questions you have. I would be only too happy to help where I can. This is an amazing opportunity for qualified families. There is no down payment required, and the mortgage is interest-free — resulting in a savings of tens of thousands of dollars for the homeowner over the life of the mortgage. Don’t miss out on the chance of a lifetime to actually own your own home! Jan Christenson On behalf of Habitat for Humanity Mid-Vancouver Island

Congratulations for working together Editor: On behalf of the Ladysmith

Maritime Society, I would like to offer our hearty congratulations to both the Town of Ladysmith and the Stz’uminus First Nation for the vision expressed in the recent Memorandum of Understanding between the two parties. The leadership from Chief John Elliott, Mayor Rob Hutchins, their councils and administration should be commended and celebrated in both communities. For far too long, “two solitudes” have existed on either side of the mere 700-metre width of the harbour. The mutual dialogue, genuine understanding and co-operation that these communities so richly deserve are long overdue. Too often, they are overwhelmed by short-sighted or inward-looking attitudes. Extension of water and sanitary sewer services to the Four Corners is a very important step. In addition to its clear economic benefits, it is an important environmental initiative in a harbour community where coal, logging and copper-smelting activity in the 20th century seriously degraded the quality of a previously pristine harbour having a thriving shellfish

population that provided traditional livelihoods for many. The Ladysmith Maritime Society, in its constitution, identifies its over-arching purpose as “serving the community,” which we stress as meaning both sides of the harbour. Our activities, from Maritime Festival to joint functions at the new Marine Reception Centre to a variety of marine and heritage activities, are designed to reflect the cultures of both sides of the harbour. The response from both sides has been rich and heartwarming. In the well-chosen words of Chief John Elliott and Mayor Rob Hutchins, “Our communities are stronger when we work together.” But for this vision to be truly effective, it must move beyond the councils’ chambers and into our businesses and homes. So let us, at all levels in our varied activities, be inclusive and generous, and together, we will make this a single and stronger community. Doug Bell President, Ladysmith Maritime Society

Youth volunteers needed

Ladysmith candy striping program is expanding to offer more opportunities Lindsay Chung

The Chronicle

Ladysmith youth who have an interest in health care are being encouraged to apply for the Ladysmith Health Care Auxiliary’s Youth Volunteer Program — formerly known as candy striping — this month. Application forms are available at Ladysmith Secondary School, and applications must be in by this Wednesday (Sept. 19). The program orientation will take place Oct. 5, and the program starts Oct. 8. The Youth Volunteer Program is aimed at girls and boys in Grade 8 through Grade 12, and participants have an opportunity to earn a $4,000 bursary offered by the Ladysmith Health Care Auxiliary. “It’s a great way for more introverted teens to gain confidence, because I’ve seen some really come out of their shells,” said program manager Deb Henderson. T h i s y e a r, t h e Ladysmith Health Care Auxiliary’s candy striping program is changing to give youth more experiences. The uniform is also changing to T-shirts. Previously, volunteers in the candy striping program would go up on the floors at the Lodge on 4th and visit residents, but now, Youth Volunteer Program volunteers will have a chance to volunteer in many areas. They will be able to visit residents, they will be able to help out with activities and programming, and they will be able to help out at the Lodge’s gift shop. “ We ’ r e h o p i n g t h e change in name and change in uniform will attract more boys,” said Henderson. “I’ve had boys go up on the floor and really just love it. They really bond with the male residents.” E i g h t e e n - y e a r- o l d M y a Wi l s o n w a s a candy striper for two and a half years.

Chronicle Review: Ladysmith Little Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first production of 2012-13 Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE

Suspense. Intrigue. Deception. Death. The opening production of Ladysmith Little Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2012-13 season has it all. Ladysmith Little Theatre is kicking off the season with a bang â&#x20AC;&#x201D; literally â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by presenting the Agatha Christie murder mystery And Then There Were None. Murder and mayhem abound when eight strangers are invited to a mansion on Soldier Island, off the coast of Devon, England, in Christieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first and most successful murder mystery play. The guests â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an interesting collection of strangers that includes a nervous d o c t o r, a j u d g e , a young secretary and an

uptight older woman â&#x20AC;&#x201D; discover that their hosts are not at the island yet, but they will be served by butler Thomas Rogers and his wife, Ethel, the cook. As they settle in, they are shocked when a strange voice from a phonograph accuses each person in the house of committing murder. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the start

of the madness, as, one by one, the guests are murdered. The deaths parallel the nursery rhyme Ten Little Soldiers, a framed copy of which sits in the living room overlooking a group of 10 soldier boy figurines on the mantle. As each guest is murdered, one of the figurines disappears. Amazingly, the

murders often seem to happen right under our noses, but there are never any clues as to who the killer could be. The guests discover thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no boat to get off Soldier Island, and as their numbers dwindle, they realize the killer is amongst them and start suspecting each other.

Mid-Isle soccer back in black

Local soccer association kicks off the season with 415 registered players and four new UISA teams Niomi Pearson The Chronicle

It has been said that if you build it, they will come. With a 33-per-cent increase in players this season and the introduction of new programs and four brand-new rep teams, the Mid-Isle Soccer Club (MSC) is well on its way to building a thriving soccer community in Ladysmith. According to club vice-president Mike Rankin, the 415 Ladysmith and Cedar players now registered with MSC this season (up more than 100 players from last year) represent approximately five per cent of the total population of the area. “Compared to Nanaimo, which has 1,600 players out of a population of 100,000 [1.6 per cent], we’re turning into Soccer Town B.C.!” he said. Rankin said new board directors, new

programs and a re-vamped club website are just some of the exciting changes. “We’ve taken the success of the Mini World Cup and are running with it for the season,” he said. “We’re boldly going where no man has gone before.” That includes the four brand-new tier three teams who will be the first Mid-Isle players to compete in the Upper Island Soccer Association (UISA) league. Sporting black jerseys, the MSC Highlanders teams are U13 (girls/boys) and U15 (girls/boys). Three out of those four teams won their first games of the season last weekend. “This UISA league plays against Port Alberni and Comox and Campbell River and Powell River,” Rankin explained. “It’s the next step up of competition for our players because they’ve never had that opportunity before. In addition to regular season play, teams will participate in the Upper

Island “B-Cup Playdowns” and the Provincial Cup. “It’s exciting because they’re going to all these different places and representing Ladysmith and Mid-Isle Soccer.” The Mini-World Cup, held in May, brought almost 1,000 young soccer players to Ladysmith for a weekend of soccer games, festivities and fun. Rankin said it was the kickstart the club needed to start answering the needs of what parents and players have been asking for the past several years, such as a soccer tots program for three- and fouryear-olds on Saturday mornings, which is already full for the fall intake. Visit the club website to find out more or register for the winter season. “We found that there were a lot of kids that are coming to the field with their parents on Saturday mornings, and they’re just standing there not doing See House Page 18

An ordinary round of golf turned into an extraordinary hole-inone experience for Mike Primrose. The Ladysmith resident headed out on the morning of Sept. 8 (a Sunday) to catch a leisurely 18-holes at Mt. Brenton Golf Course but because of its bustling 40th anniversary tournament, decided to play at Eaglequest Golf Course in South Wellington. “I was pretty much by myself on the whole course,” he recalled. While teeing off on the ninth hole, Primrose said he “chunked” the ball, which landed in a ravine. “As I was walking up the fairway, there was an elderly gentleman picking blackberries, and he threw me a golf ball and he says ‘maybe you’ll have better luck with this one,’” said Primrose. “I thought, ‘it couldn’t make my game any worse,’ so I started using it.” Two holes into his second round, Primrose came across a couple who had just teed off. They offered to let him play through. “I hit the ball — it

looked good; it hit the green,” he said. However, as the three of them trekked towards the pin, it appeared as though Primrose’s ball had embedded itself into the green. “As I got to the top, I could only see half my golf ball, and I’m thinking ‘how did that plug; I’m pretty sure I saw it roll,’” Primrose said. “But then I got to the top of the green and kind of stood there, then I threw my club up into the air.” Primrose’s lucky ball was wedged in the cup in between the flag pin. He was able to get a few photos of the scene before a gust of wind moved the flag and the ball dropped. “It was an unbelievable feeling,” Primrose said. “It was surreal; I stood there in disbelief, and then I was numb for the next three holes.” While there will be no prize for the hole-in-one, Primrose is ecstatic none the less. An avid golfer for the last 32 years, this will be Primrose’s second hole-in-one, although the first occurred with no witnesses. “I think that’s what every golfer strives for — it makes it all worth it,” he said.

Getting an Olympic edge LEFT: Fuller Lake Skating Club members Sarah Kedves, Grace Couves and Marina Ellison worked exceptionally hard this past weekend at the Future Stars training camp, held in Comox. They were coached by Olympian Vaughn Chipeur (second from left), who is on a break from performing on cruise ships. The weekend session included eight on-ice sessions ranging from one to two hours, plus off-ice exercise classes.

Viola (Crucil) Vazquez Viola Vazquez passed away at Valley Hospital in Ridgewood, NJ, in the early morning hours of September 8, 2012 at the age of 86. She is survived by her husband Roland (New Jersey) and two children, Yolanda (California), and Roland Jr. (Iowa; married to Magdelena), as well as three siblings: Anna, Mary and Frank. One of twelve children, she was born Viola Crucil in the midst of a European immigrant family in Ladysmith, British Columbia (Canada) to Frank and Mary Ann (nee Hocevar) Crucil on March 26, 1926. In her teens, she left Canada to study ballet, first in Seattle, Washington, before moving to New York City to pursue her calling in the arts and her passion of exploring different ways to move her body through space. One of her most important mentors was the renowned ballet teacher Margaret Craske. Viola performed in a variety of venues, including the Metropolitan Opera, Radio City Music Hall, Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, in Las Vegas shows, and as a female member of the Bob DeVoy trio, before retiring from professional dancing to have and raise her family. She kept dancing as well, teaching ballet informally to many students. She loved, was loved, and will be missed.

Attention customers: Please pick up any outstanding watch and jewellery repairs from Grant Jewellers at 432 First Ave., Ladysmith before September 30th, 2012. Payment in full will be required before repairs are released. Grant Jewellers is not responsible for items left past September 30th, 2012.
