Dozens of youth of all ages and adults came out to the Park the Park skatepark rally on Sept. 7 in Chemainus to call for action on stalled skatepark plans, an idea which was first proposed about 10 years ago. Attendees spent a few hours showing off their skills to spectators on a makeshift skatepark in Waterwheel Park. Niomi Pearson/Chronicle
Collision Repairs Need a Makeover?
With significant increases in visitors, phone calls and bus tours, the Cowichan Valley has proven itself the place to be this summer. Visitor centres in Ladysmith and Chemainus are reporting increases as high as 36.4 per cent in some areas, as compared to last year’s numbers. Chemainus Visitor Centre co-ordinator Marlie Kelsey said Chemainus’ upbeat attitude and local events brought an increase of 21.3 per cent (7,324 people) to the centre in August, while in July, Chemainus experienced a 19.2-per-cent increase. From April to June, the Chemainus Visitor Centre recorded a 36.4-per-cent increase in overall tourism (determined by the averages of total parties, visitors and bus tours). “The many events we’ve had going on draw people in — ArtBeat, which is a new Friday night art walk; the Theatre, which is celebrating 20 years this year … and the murals,” said Kelsey. “And no matter what you have heard or what you read, the murals are still a major draw to the community.” Chemainus has seen tourists from a variety of different locales, including Europe, Australia and Japan. This year, for the first time, there have been a significant number of French-Canadian visitors from Quebec, Kelsey said. “We’ve had an increase in bus tourism this year, without a doubt,” she said. Some of the many summer events in Chemainus this year have included Music in the See More Page 3

More people checking out ‘little gems’
From Page 1 Park, a Wednesday market and music festivals. “There’s a really good buzz in our town this year — there seems to be a real enthusiasm despite that we have some issues that are challenging us,” Kelsey said. “It’s a very positive atmosphere. Everybody’s working together to make it a neat place to live and come visit.” Total visitors to the Ladysmith Visitor Centre in May were up 21.9 per cent, but numbers dropped 10 per cent in the month of July and 7.7 per cent in August. Phone calls to the tourist office were up 34.5 per cent from April to June, with a total of 287 calls. “It’s definitely been up and busy,” said Jacquie Chellew of the Visitor Centre. “I think maybe people are not looking to go to the big cities and they’re checking out the little gems we have around here.”

The department is also looking into what caused a house fire in the 300 block of Davis Road that took place Fri., Aug. 31. “It’s under investigation, but at this time, we do not suspect it is suspicious,” Delcourt said. The top floor of the house, which was unoccupied at the time of the fire, was fully involved when firefighters arrived. Damages are expected to be significant but have not been assessed at this time. “We had to do an exterior attack of the fire because it was too hot to risk sending personnel in there,” said Delcourt. The Ladysmith Fire Department is currently recruiting volunteer firefighters. To learn more, contact the fire hall at 250-245-6436.

After dedicating the last eight years of his life to aiding the impoverished in the Philippines, Ted Wall has seen what a lifetime of hardship and abjection can do. “They struggle to make everyday needs like food, clothes and sending their children to school,” he said. “A lot of times, with people living in poverty, one of the main problems is a lack of hope and ambition.” A member of Youth With A Mission, the Nanaimo born-andraised missionary has been working from the ground level to assist and serve residents in the often-flood-ravaged areas of the Philippines. As base director, he oversees an area with approximately 500 homes and 4,000 residents. “Often, we will try to create livelihood

Nanaimo’s Ted Wall, a member of Youth With A Mission, is seen here in the Philippines. He will be speaking about his experiences during a fundraiser for the Philippines being held Sept. 22 at Oceanview Community Church. The Laguna area is well-known for flooding, particularly during the rain season, when they can experience up to four to six typhoons in a season. This year, however, the province is experiencing its worst floods on record, not due to natural disaster, but to a low-pressure system that has caused continual rain, coupled with the typhoons.
More than 2,000 residents have been evacuated from their homes into an emergency shelter (a gymnasiumsized covered basketball court) for the past month. The waters are not expected to fully recede for at least another month. “You can imagine the challenge with bathrooms and showers ... so it’s a pretty rough living situation,” Wall

opportunities or projects for people, or connect them with businesses,” Wall said. “We hear their stories and we try to encourage them and push them towards their dreams.” Currently on an annual trip home from the province of Laguna, where he resides fulltime, Wall is spreading word of his work and canvassing donations to take back with him to the Philippines, where they will be used specifically for flood relief. Prior to Laguna, Wall also spent time doing missionary work in Manila, which is about two hours south of Laguna. He and another missionary have been there since December. “I felt like I wanted to go to an area where there was nobody working there helping these people already,” he explained. “We literally just got on a bus and tried to travel to as many places as we possibly could. If we saw a poor person on the street, we’d visit their community. “We just saw such overwhelming need [in Laguna].”

said. Funds raised will help to purchase things like rice, canned goods and hygiene items for the residents and toward rebuilding flood-damaged homes once the waters have receded. Ladysmith community members are invited to a special fundraiser for the Philippines being held Sept. 22 at Oceanview Community Church. Local resident and RN Kristie Hornett is helping organize the event, which will consist of a presentation by Wall about his work, as well as displays and a silent auction. Dr. John Potts, who has also provided aid to other countries, will make a presentation as well. Hornett says she was very moved by Wall’s stories and photos, and she is hoping to raise about $5,000 before he returns to the Philippines. “It’s an opportunity to make a difference with change that may be on the counter or spent on a coffee,” Hornett said. “Even a little bit would go a long way.” According to Wall, $5 in Canadian currency is equivalent to about 250 pesos. He added that 150 pesos is a full 15-hour day’s wage in Laguna. Doors will open for the fundraiser at 6:30 p.m. Donors will be able to sign up for a monthly e-mail update on Wall’s progress. For more information, call Kristie at 250-9245572 or e-mail kriselt2@ yahoo.ca.

Helmet drive raising cash for new Fire Safety House Firefighters will be at grocery stores in Ladysmith and Chemainus this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. hoping for donations Lindsay Chung The Chronicle
Firefighters in the Cowichan Valley are hoping to buy a new Fire Safety House to teach more people what to do if they find themselves inside a burning building by next spring. And to raise the money to buy this new Fire Safety House, the Cowichan Valley Fire Prevention Association (CVFPA), which serves 18 fire halls between North Oyster and the Malahat, is having its first helmet drive this month. Fire departments from all around the Cowichan Valley will be collecting donations to raise funds for a new Fire Safety House. The current house is unreliable and only accessible to children, explained Meghan Bailey, a firefighter in Crofton. “The one we hope to purchase later this fall will be accessible to all age ranges and be a better learning tool to teach citi-

The objectives of Bylaw 1807 are: • To stimulate construction and alteration of buildings within Ladysmith; and • To encourage new business investment in commercial and industrial used lands and, in turn, encourage new employment; and • To promote a higher standard of urban design within business areas and employment areas in order to increase the attractiveness of these locations; and • Generally reinforce the Town’s commitment to economic revitalization Bylaw 1807 will apply to eligible properties in the Town of Ladysmith classed by BC Assessment as Class 4 (Major Industry), 5 (Light Industry) or 6 (Commercial) and located within the Revitalization Area as outlined in Schedule A of Bylaw 1807. To be eligible for an exemption under the program, an applicant must: • obtain a building permit for construction of a new building or improvement or alteration of an existing building or improvement having a project value, as determined by the building inspector, of $200,000 or greater for the portion that is deemed the eligible Project • ensure that the building permit is issued after April 1, 2012 and • ensure that the Occupancy Permit is issued within two (2) years of the Building Permit The amount of the annual Tax Exemption will be equal to the municipal portion of property taxes imposed under section197(1)(a) of the Community Charter on that part of the assessed value calculated by deducting the baseline assessment from the current assessed value and multiplying the difference by the current municipal tax rate. The maximum term of a tax exemption under Bylaw 1807 will be five years. The above bylaw may be inspected at City Hall, 410 Esplanade, Ladysmith, British Columbia during normal office hours (Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.) excluding statutory holidays.

ON THE DOLLAR OF THE TICKETED PRICE The Horseshoe Bay Inn in Chemainus is celebrating its 120th anniversary this year and is marking the occasion with a week of “good old-fashioned fun and festivities.” The celebrations kicked off with an open house on Sunday. Hostess Heather Vanderbasch — seen here beside the fireplace in the hotel’s lobby with a picture of her greatgrandmother, Mary Isabelle Meugens — led tours of the hotel, dining room and pub. From now until Saturday, there will be draws and prize giveaways in the pub and the liquor store, and on Saturday night, “The Shoe Pub” is hosting a logger and lumber baron theme night. There will be prizes for those who come dressed as a logger, lumber baron or turn-of-the-century woman. Find out more about the hotel’s colourful history in next week’s Chronicle.

Towns tackle modern problems BC Views
by Tom Fletcher
L
ocal politicians are preparing for their annual convention, to be held Sept. 25-28 in Victoria. One of the first orders of business this year will be a vote to raise the dues paid by local governments to the Union of B.C. Municipalities to cover rising travel costs for staff to serve on provincial committees. The plan is also to change the name to Union of B.C. Local Governments to reflect the participation of regional districts and aboriginal communities. So what do these committees and conferences accomplish? The UBCLG, as it will soon be known, is mainly a lobby group for local politicians to seek changes to federal and provincial laws to keep up with changing times. The resolutions offer a snapshot of modern problems facing local governments. A major theme is public safety, and this year, it is the Columbia Shuswap Regional District renewing a
long-standing plea for more provincial policing money for rural communities. Surrey has a resolution seeking better notice and control of a growing number of medical marijuana licences issued by Ottawa. Local fire and police departments end up dealing with licensed grow-ops that spring up quietly and create electrical hazards, or expand production beyond their licences as this stealth legalization continues. Pitt Meadows, home to a Hells Angels clubhouse and drug-related crime familiar to most urban communities, wants B.C. to follow Alberta’s lead and give police authority to remove known gang members from bars and clubs. This year, the debate may go further. Metchosin is seeking support to call on Ottawa to decriminalize marijuana, ending a “failed policy which has cost millions of dollars in police, court, jail and social costs.” No chance of that under the Stephen Harper government, but it’s worthwhile to send the message.

Another long-shot demand, sparked by the abduction of three-year-old Kienan Hebert of Sparwood last year, is for Ottawa to make its sex offender registry public for convicted repeat offenders. Ashcroft councillors want to give emergency services authority to deal with another modern hazard: hoarding. Yes folks, it’s more than just a show on TV that exposes a creepy side effect of our bloated North American consumer culture. The Ashcroft resolution notes that obsessively piling stuff to the rafters is a growing problem. And as with marijuana grow ops, “local governments have little or no authority to enforce compliance with health and safety standards when a building is owner occupied.” Another First World problem is the “pocket dialing” of 9-1-1 by mobile phones. This is more than just a nuisance because local emergency services are obliged to respond to every call they get. And mobile phones can’t be traced to their location with any
precision, creating timeconsuming searches that weaken response to real emergencies. Other resolutions tackle complex and important issues, such as the effect of hydro development on municipal water supplies. But alas, most will be lost in the convention noise, overshadowed by political posturing over matters best left alone. Last year’s convention featured the low comedy of delegates voting with wireless devices to condemn smart meters, after displaying their ignorance of the subject. This year, in addition to factually challenged railing about oil tankers, there will be a tough stance taken against shark’s fin soup, which will no doubt strike fear into the Chinese fishing fleet. Once delegates vote themselves more taxpayers’ money to run this show, perhaps they should keep their grandstanding to a minimum.

Town of Ladysmith won’t subsidize Stz’uminus First Nation Editor: Re: Water, Sewer Will Extend to Four Corners (Letter to the Editor, Sept. 4, 2012) We would like to respond to questions raised in a recent letter to the editor about plans by the Town of Ladysmith and the Stz’uminus First Nation to extend water and sanitary sewer services to Stz’uminus First Nation’s IR 12 Reserve Lands (commonly known as Four Corners). In short, the Town of Ladysmith is not providing any subsidy. Stz’uminus First Nation will pay all costs of pipelines and service

connections and be responsible for the same cost of water/sewer services as town residents/businesses. The Stz’uminus First Nation will be paying for maintenance and metering services. The Town cannot provide a financial benefit, and the Stz’uminus First Nation has not asked for one. The Town (approximate population 8,200) is currently upgrading our wastewater treatment plant to secondary treatment capacity. The first stage of the upgraded plant will be able to service 17,500, with a full capacity of 30,000. There is ample capacity to provide much-needed sewer services to Stz’uminus First Nation residents. The Town’s new Liquid Waste Management Plan, which has been guided by a citizens’ Liquid Waste Management Committee, includes the provision of treatment options for communities outside the Town limits; this is
an expectation of the provincial government. It is far more cost-effective and environmentally sensitive to extend existing services from Ladysmith than to build new water and sanitary sewer treatment plants for a relatively small population. Also, adding users will reduce the capital costs for Ladysmith residents. Economic development in Ladysmith and the surrounding area is a priority for town council and the Stz’uminus First Nation. In fact, the recent MOU also calls for joint development of industrial land in south Ladysmith. Economic development in the area will mean increased demand for goods and services that are available within Ladysmith. This type of increased economic activity will benefit all of us. The Stz’uminus First Nation will also be taking part in joint economic development meetings with the Ladysmith Chamber

New SD68 logo will better represent entire district A lot has changed in School District 68 in the past 30 years, but one thing that hasn’t changed is the school district’s logo. This year, the district will embark on a process to develop a new graphic identity to replace the current logo, which was developed in 1980. “Our current logo was developed in the days that we were the Nanaimo School District, not the Nanaimo-Ladysmith School District,” said Donna Reimer, the school district’s director of communications. “The logo relies heavily on the number 68 and some Nanaimoonly landmarks, such as the Bastion and Mount Benson.” Reimer says the board of education plans for the district to begin using the name NanaimoLadysmith Public Schools, as opposed to the name School District 68. “Considering how much our district has changed in the past 32 years, and with our new strategic plan being developed, it is time to revamp the district’s graphic identity,” said Reimer. “Our graphic identity is the way that we visually represent to the community our pride in our schools and our district’s strengths and unique characteristics.” During the summer, the district issued a request for proposals for a graphic design firm to work with the district on the development of a new graphic identity. Thirteen proposals were submitted, and Ion Branding + Design, a Vancouver firm, was selected to carry out the work. “We’ve asked for a consultative process on the design, and Ion will be working with stakeholder groups as the design is developed,” said Reimer. The contract with Ion is $24,233. Once a new design is developed, the use of the new graphic identity will be phased in to reduce the costs of
implementation. “Our current logo has served the district for more than 30
years,” said Reimer. ty that represents us “We will retire it with well for many years honours and develop to come.” a new graphic identi- — Submitted

Proud sponsors of
Ladysmith’s Jayse Van Rooyen (right), seen here with candidate Juliana Martine of Oliver, won the People’s Choice Award and Friendship Award in the B.C. Ambassador Program. Photo Submitted Van Rooyen is particularly proud of winning the Friendship Award, which is similar to the Miss Congeniality award she won in the Ladysmith Ambassador program. “It was the coolest award for me to win,” she said. “I just burst into tears the second I won the award. It’s such an honour because the girls vote for that one. Being in such a close competition, it’s nice to know they respect you.” Va n R o o y e n w a s excited to place in the top five for public speaking. She says she was never very good at it, and she did not place in the speech portion of the Ladysmith Ambassador program, so she feels like she has come very far. “I think that’s what the program is all about — progressing,” she said. Va n R o o y e n w a s also proud of placing in the top five for the Community Award, which is a combination of her community presentation and her community speech. “I was top five for best representing Ladysmith, so that was really cool,” she said. “I was on par with the girls who won a title, and I was really happy. I felt like I’d really represented Ladysmith to the best of my ability, so I was really happy to win that award.” Va n R o o y e n s a y s her favourite part of the B.C. Ambassador
Program was being in Merritt and telling people all about Ladysmith. “It’s a really cool way to promote the town,” she said. “I loved talking about Ladysmith. I could have talked about it until my face went blue.” Van Rooyen’s community presentation was her favourite onstage aspect of the week. She dressed up as an oyster and talked about Ladysmith’s past, present and future. Va n R o o y e n a l s o loved getting to know 11 new people from around B.C. whom she now calls friends. “I loved meeting the candidates and getting to know a very diverse group of girls,” she said. “Even though it’s a hard competition, everyone was so encouraging. It’s so cool. I now have friends absolutely everywhere. It’s so nice because that’s what you want to do — you want to branch out and spread your horizons. That was the coolest part for me.” For Van Rooyen, the hardest part of the program was the threehour knowledge exam. Van Rooyen felt lucky to have a lot of family and friends in Merritt. “I was the furthest away, and I had the most people there,” she said. “It’s so nice to have that support. I know the community supported me so much, and I had good representation there, so that was nice.”

Ladysmith woman develops new course for the working musician What does a working musician look like in the music industry today? We all know the old model can no longer sustain itself, but no one has really nailed down what the “new” model looks like. Until now. Arbutus Music in Nanaimo is bringing the first Professional Musician SelfManagement Program to Vancouver Island, starting this week. “There are two ways to enter the music industry,” says school administrator and SelfManagement instructor Cathleen McMahon of Ladysmith. “One is to get a schtick and pray that the stars align for you to get that one-percent chance at glory. The other is to become a working musician.” It is a well-known fact that there are more than 100,000 people in Canada trying to make a living in the music industry. The reality is
that only one per cent — or 1,000 people — is actually successful. With the money generated by music quickly subsiding, the goal turns to becoming sustainable as a working musician. Take the examples of Craig Cardiff from Ontario and Vancouver I s l a n d ’s o w n R y a n McMahon of Ladysmith and Wil Mimnaugh of Qualicum Beach. All three of these working musicians have discovered how to narrow down and focus all of their attention on the audience that is truly supporting them and their music. “Craig Cardiff has a unique way of looking at generating his sustainable income,” explains Cathleen. “He changes the way we look at being successful as a musician, and his model can work for thousands.” Support for music today comes from a number of differ-
ent sources. People, businesses and communities who pride themselves on being “patrons of the arts” are where these three artists find the support they need to feed their families and support their art form. Ryan McMahon’s last album wouldn’t have been possible without the investment support of ENH Cabinets in Abbotsford and the owner of Arbutus Music. Both companies have taken an interest in the Vancouver Island Artist of the Year’s music and hope to see it keep being recorded and performed. The Professional Musician SelfManagement Program at Arbutus Music covers everything from the basics of copyright, registering songs with SOCAN, finding funding through government agencies and grant or loan programs l i k e FA C T O R ( T h e Foundation Assisting
Canadian Talent on Recording) to booking, touring and building relationships with proper use of business communication skills. “There are small things that can make a huge difference in how your music is received,” explains Cathleen. “Something as simple as forgetting to put a catalogue number or a spine on your CD can mean that it doesn’t ever see the catalogue department of radio stations across the country. If it doesn’t have a spine and a number, they can’t find it on the shelf. You may send your music out to stations and then wonder why it never gets played. It could be something that simple.” Cathleen worked in the music industry in Vancouver for more than 15 years as a personal business manager for bands and solo artists ranging from Nickelback to Jeremy Fisher. In
2007, she founded a boutique marketing and management firm, Mission Management Group, and signed Ryan McMahon as her flagship artist. After moving to Ladysmith in December 2008, Cathleen continued to work in Va n c o u v e r a t t h e Nimbus School of Recording Arts, teaching the Music Business Program. In 2011, Arbutus Music owner Richard Leighton invited Cathleen to administrate the Arbutus Music School and teach a Music Business Course. Cathleen developed a 16-week Professional Musician SelfManagement Program to give the tools of success directly to artists to enable more instrumentalists and performers to be successful “working musicians.” The course starts this Thursday (Sept. 13) from 6-9 p.m. and includes a three-hour Career Spotlight session with Craig Cardiff on Nov. 18.

Ladysmith Secondary to host meeting to rally new coaches The Chronicle

The game plan for extracurricular athletics at Ladysmith Secondary School will be determined following a community meeting being held to enlist new coaches and assistant coaches for this year’s lineup of activities. Anyone in the community who is interested in coaching a sports team at LSS — be it basketball, rugby, badminton or soccer — should be sure to attend the meeting, which takes place Weds., Sept. 19 at 7 p.m. at the high school. “It’s in response to the community’s call for continued and new extracurricular athletic programs at Ladysmith Secondary,” said principal Dave Street. “We have a shortage of coaches, we have fewer teachers than in past, and the expertise of some of those teachers does not lend itself to some of the sports that have been standards for years.” Coaching a high school sports team is a volunteer position that requires many hours of practice, but just as

many intrinsic rewards. The school is looking for coaches for both junior and senior teams, which are separated into boys and girls teams as well. “Coaching is a huge responsibility — it has to do with the practices, the tournaments, transportation, and in many cases fundraising,” Street said. “Some of these people put in hundreds of additional hours throughout the school year taking a team all the way to, in some cases, provincial finals.” Last year, a total of four community coaches made up the bulk of coaching staff for athletic teams at LSS, such as rugby coach Pete Kis-Toth. “We wouldn’t have had a rugby program without him,” Street said. “We need folks like him and many more.” While no experience is necessary, passion and dedication are valuable assets to have. “I’m not going to be turning anybody away who has the qualifications, who’s interested and passionate about working with our students,” Street said.
