North Oyster Elementary School will stay open for 2013-14 and a decision about the future of École Davis Road has been delayed. Nanaimo-Ladysmith School District trustees decided on a number of the proposed elements of the district’s 10-Year Enhanced Facilities for Learning Plan during public meeting June 26 in Nanaimo but also extended the consultation process on two proposals that have a big impact in this area. At the meeting, trustees took a number of steps, including: • Approved a bylaw to close South Wellington Elementary on June 30, 2013. The South Wellington school attendance area will be merged with Woodbank Primary and North Cedar Intermediate, with parent/student choice of Chase River Elementary. • Approved a bylaw to close Cedar Community Secondary on June 30, 2014. The school attendance area will merge with John Barsby Community Secondary, with a parent/student choice of Ladysmith Secondary. Transportation will be provided to John Barsby Community Secondary as per the district’s transportation policy. • For North Oyster Elementary, which was proposed for closure this year, the board passed a motion to extend the consultation period to Dec. 1, 2013, to allow time to consider alternatives, with a proposal to close the school on June 30, 2014. • For École Davis Road Elementary, the board passed a motion to extend the consultation period to Dec. 1, 2013, to allow time to consider alternatives, with a pro-
posal to close the school on June 30, 2014. • Approved a motion to reconfigure Ladysmith Secondary School as a Grade 7-12 school in September 2014. Ladysmith Intermediate and École Davis Road Grade 7 students will relocate to LSS, and LSS will offer a Grade 7 and 8 French Immersion program. • Approved a bylaw to close Woodbank Primary and North Cedar Intermediate in June 2015. The two schools will be consolidated into the renovated Cedar Secondary building in September 2015. District staff will now prepare the final facilities plan for submission to the Ministry of Education, including the motions approved June 26, along with the proposals for years three to six in the plan. Fiona Steeves, co-chair of the North Oyster Parent Advisory Council (PAC), says parents are excited that their school will stay open another year and that the consultation period has been extended for their community. “I think it’s great; that’s what we were hoping for,” she said. “We didn’t feel 60 days was enough time to come up with the ideas we wanted to do. We’ve been saying all along that North Oyster is a good facility; it’s not one of the 50-year-old deteriorating buildings, and it should be used. Our numbers are low, so we need to figure out some programs to draw people back from our catchment and even from other catchments.” Steeves says the community has come up with lots of ideas that could turn North Oyster into a magnet school that draws students in with its enhanced programming, such as an arts program or First See Grade 7s Page 3

News Petitioning to turn Vancouver In brief Island into its own province Chronicle
North Cowichan turns 140
On June 18, the District Municipality of North Cowichan turned 140 years old. The municipality, thought to be one of the oldest in Western Canada, was incorporated in 1873. At the time, Canada was just turning six years old and B.C. was two. North Cowichan was the fifth municipality to be incorporated by B.C. “North Cowichan is old,” North Cowichan councillor John Koury said in a press release. “I could not find an older incorporated local government west of Winnipeg, also incorporated in 1873. “When I think of all the nation-building history that led to incorporation and that since grew between North Cowichan and Manitoba, I can’t help wonder what a rich, dynamic, humbling story we have to share with the country.” The municipality is the largest in land mass on Vancouver Island, and it covers a larger footprint than the 13 municipalities that make up the Capital Regional District, according to Koury. “I try to tell our story everywhere I go. I am proud of our history. I connect our success with our past and present to plan for the future,” he said. “We have the fundamental elements in place to chart a new prosperous path for growth in keeping with the spirit and tradition of the hard work that brought us here. “From all of us who have benefited from this rich history, Happy Birthday North Cowichan.” Koury says he raised the idea of a 140th anniversary celebration several times with North Cowichan council, but a decision was made to look instead at holding an event to mark the municipality’s 150th year in 2023.

THE CHRONICLE
Two local men are hoping to spark a debate about the future of Vancouver Island — with the goal of seeing the Island become a separate, self-reliant and sustainable province by the year 2021. Laurie Gourlay and Scott Akenhead, from Cedar and North Oyster respectively, have begun a petition to gather support for the movement, find out what people think about the idea and begin a conversation about what self-governance of the Island might look like. “We could be addressing our problems by ourselves instead of trying to address them through 14 MLAs in a legislature with 85,” said Akenhead. “What would it mean if your votes about Island issues were in fact the provincial votes? You’d be able to bring to bear a lot more attention to the specific problems and the specific opportunities the Island has in a way you could never do if it was mixed in with the rest of B.C.” The petition is one step in a long and complex process, but Gourlay and Akenhead hope it will bring the issue to the forefront of people’s minds and get them talking about the opportunities such a change might afford.
Laurie Gourlay, left, and Scott Akenhead are collecting signatures for a petition in support of Vancouver Island becoming a separate province by the year 2021.

stage.” Added Akenhead, “There’s quite a bit to insulate ourselves against by building not just a more resilient economy that can take the shocks and take advantage of the opportunities, but a whole issue about livability that’s going to come with that, too.” The two point out that if Vancouver Island were to become a province, it would be larger in population than Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick as well as all three territories. They add the idea to separate from the rest of B.C is not meant to stir up anti-mainland sentiments, but rather to help the Island take advantage of its unique social and environmental climate through self-governance, which they say would ultimately strengthen Canada as a whole. “We have the resources, the mountains, the mines, the copper, the forest, fisheries and we do have potential for renewable energies so that we could meet all of our own needs,” said Gourlay. He and Akenhead envision a province that capitalizes on its own natural and cultural resources in a way that builds an environmentally and economically sustainable province. Their hope is to use the le-
gal framework that’s just been drafted for a coming power shift in the Northwest Territories, which will soon be granted provinciallike powers over its resources, water and Crown land, to create a self-governing Vancouver Island. Gourlay said the situation in the Northwest Territories highlights the changing of governance needs over time and the government’s ability to adapt to those changes. “There is precedence here. Different municipalities are always forming. Lantzville split off from Nanaimo, there is talk of Cedar becoming its own city. So you’ve got a very local governance model that would allow that separation and identity to form,” said Gourlay. The two are collecting signatures in support of the movement to declare Vancouver Island a separate province. Anyone interested in signing the petition can access it at viprovince.ca. Supporters must print out two copies of the petition — one is for the provincial government and the other is federal — sign both copies as send them to V.I. Petition, Box 333, Cedar, B.C., V9X 1W1. The petitions will be collected and delivered to appropriate government agencies.

Rotary recognizes Davis Staff Writer the chronicle
Look around Ladysmith — and outside our boundaries — and it will be hard to find a community project or event that hasn’t been helped in some way by Howie Davis. And it’s that dedication to his community that earned Davis the Paul Harris Fellowship Award. The Ladysmith Rotary Club presented this prestigious award to Harris June 20. It is an award that usually would go to a Rotarian, but the members of the Ladysmith Rotary felt that Davis deserves the award “because of his many, many years of contributing to many aspects of the community,” according to a press release. Over the years, Davis and his wife Colleen have contributed hundreds and hundreds of hours to many community projects in Ladysmith, North Oyster and Cedar, the release notes. Davis made and donated the steel bridge for the bottom end of the Holland Creek Trail and is currently in the midst of constructing the new steel bridge to replace the other wooden bridge on the trail. He is not only building the bridge, but has also donated the steel to make it. The Davises own Ryler Bulk Carriers Inc. “Every parade there is in Ladysmith has had at least one Ryler Trucking truck in it towing somebody’s float, as well as the stage that the town now uses for Light Up, Show ‘n Shine, Ladysmith Days and other events was donated by Howie,” outgoing Rotary president Ron Howe said as he presented the award. “About six years ago, they donated an enclosed semi-trailer to Ladysmith Secondary School to use to store old drama props, as well as other items they
had no room for but need to use over and over again.” When the Rotary and Legion took on building the Ladysmith Golf Course, Davis transported the heavy equipment needed and also operating the equipment and helped out in other ways, he noted. “The reconstruction of the old North Oyster School is a pet project of the Davises, and they have donated hundreds of hours of labour, as well as equipment and dollars, to the very successful community project,” he added. The Eagles Club of Ladysmith has put together a 48-foot trailer that houses emergency supplies that can be used when crisis arise. It was used during the floods in Duncan a few years ago, and it’s been into the B.C. Interior during some interface fires, explained Howe, noting the trailer was refurbished and donated to the Eagles by Davis. Davis has also made significant contributions to Brown Drive Park. “When the Kinsmen built the new playground at Brown Drive over the past couple of years, the wood Fibar safety ground cover had to come from Burnaby,” said Howe. “Howie Davis donated the trucks and drivers to go over and get the material, saving the Kinsmen thousands of dollars which helped to get the playground built sooner.” Kinsmen member Duck Paterson says there are probably hundreds of things Davis does that we don’t even know about. “Every time I tell Howie we need something, either money, equipment or what have you, I call him, and even though he grumbles, I know at the end, he’s going to do it,” he said. “And he does it because he thinks people are neat and he believes in his community.”
The winner will be announced Saturday, August 3rd at the Rotary Pancake Breakfast, 9:50 am in the Ladysmith and District Credit Union Parking lot.

Community has more time
YOUR WORDS
“When I was living and researching in Uganda, I got to eat some delicious grasshoppers and ants.” Afton Halloran, Page 8
P
arents in North Oyster and Ladysmith have bought themselves some time after the school board voted Wednesday, June 26 to extend the consultation process to consider alternatives to proposed school
closures. It’s great news for these school communities, and hopefully that’s enough time for trustees to really listen to and work with community members to address their needs and issues. North Oyster Elementary School had been proposed for closure this year, but the school board has extended the consultation period to Dec. 1 to allow time to consider alternatives, with a proposal to close the school June 30, 2014. The board also voted to extend the consultation process for École Davis Road (EDR). The school is still proposed to close June 30, 2014. The district’s proposed plan had originally recommended reconfiguring Ladysmith Secondary School (LSS) into a Grade 6-12 school, and trustees voted last week to make it a Grade 7-12 school in September 2014. Ladysmith Intermediate and EDR Grade 7 students will relocate to LSS, and the secondary school will offer a Grade 7 and 8 French immersion program. Community is a word we think of a lot here in Ladysmith, and it’s in community that we will find the solutions. It will require parents, grandparents, teachers, administrators, business owners and interested community members sharing their ideas and working together to find ways to support our students and our schools in the face of enrolment and funding challenges. —Lindsay Chung
Temporary definition of local food is concerning
O
ne of my favourite summer activities is going to farmer’s markets and trying some of the incredible local foods available to us on Vancouver Island. Ladysmith’s community sustainability plan includes biodiversity and food as two of the eight pillars the plan is built on: • Protect and enhance the ecosystems and biodiversity locally, regionally, and globally • Support a more sustainable food system, including increasing local food production, processing and consumption It is clear that access to local food is important for communities on Vancouver Island. That’s why I’m concerned that a recent decision by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) to establish a temporary definition of local food for labelling ignores what communities like

Ladysmith have done to promote sustainability. The CFIA changed the previous definition of 50 kilometres from point of purchase to anywhere in the same province and within 50 kilometres of provincial borders. For a large province like British Columbia, that definition stretches what most people consider local. New Democrats believe food labelling helps Canadians make informed choices about the food

they consume and we do support improvements. But this decision does not reflect the work of many farming organizations or food security groups who are urging governments to support local food. That’s why New Democrats are saying the CFIA must work with the Canadian public and food producers to ensure that we all know where our food comes from. The NDP believes that easy access to local food is critical to Canadians’ health and prosperity. The distance that food travels
should be reduced, and local production should be encouraged as much as possible. However, given Canada’s size and diversity, some foods are best produced in specific regions and promoted across the country. A smart approach to labelling will empower Canadians to make informed choices and help us celebrate what Canada has to offer. And labelling that reflects the needs of Canadian consumers — who care deeply about where their food comes from — can be part of a national food strategy to better meet our food security needs. To learn more about this new temporary definition and how you can make your opinion known about changes to food labelling, go to my website at www.jeancrowder.ca and follow the links.

Editor: Editor’s note: This is an open letter sent to the mayor of Ladysmith and council. A copy of this letter was also sent to MP Jean Crowder and to the Ministry of Transportation in Victoria. Regarding the Ladysmith trolley bus system now servicing the town of Ladysmith, I think it should be extended farther north and south of the city limits it now services, keeping off the main highway or Trans-Canada Highway as much as possible. To the north, along Rocky Creek Road to Brenton-Page Road via Highway 1 and then into the boundary of Cedar and a side trip to Shell Beach as per a schedule. To the south, to the boundary of North Cowichan via Chemainus Highway, back to Ladysmith, making Ladysmith a bit of a hub city, as it was in the past when we had log trains and trucks coming down from Nanaimo Lakes and also log trains and trucks coming up from Lake Cowichan. I think there is a great potential for the Ladysmith trolley system as it is, and expanding to the north and south would help the people it would serve and maybe get a few of us out of our cars and get people off that damn highway, which turns out to be a killer of young and old.

As Canada’s birthday approaches, we are reminded that the first parliamentary body to represent voters in British North America west of the ‘Province of Canada’ (Ontario), was the Legislative Assembly of Vancouver Island, elected more than 150 years ago in 1856. With this parliamentary governance in mind, we have begun to circulate petitions that request the federal Government of Canada, and the provincial Government of British Columbia initiate discussions with respect to the proclamation of the Province of Vancouver Island. Our rich heritage, diverse and resilient coastal communities, as well as our renewable resources and industrial infrastructure, enable a strong and

resilient economy. In short, Vancouver Island has all the attributes and prerequisites to be a province. As such, this initiative is a natural next step in our development, as well as an important part of our Island heritage — contributing to Canada’s birth and dominion, “from East to Western sea.” This initiative, entirely nonpartisan and non-profit, will stimulate co-operation and pride of Islanders, as well as strengthen and solidify partnerships with British Columbia and within Canada. Confederation grows with the proclamation of the Province of Vancouver Island.

Protecting Your Eyes From the Sun Dr. Anita Voisin
Protecting your eyes from ultraviolet radiation is just as important as putting on sunscreen to protect your skin. Many age-related eye diseases, such as cataracts and macular degeneration, may be partially caused by UV exposure throughout your life, so protecting your eyes today may save your vision later in life.
How Does UV Harm the Eyes? We can’t see ultraviolet light, but it is absorbed by the tissue of the eye and can cause serious eye damage. Conditions such as cataracts, macular degeneration, photokeratitis (sunburn of the cornea), pingueculae (small yellowish bumps on the white of the eye) and pterygium (opaque growth over the surface of the cornea), are directly related to UV exposure. The more UV exposure you have during your life, the more likely you are to develop one of these damaging conditions. Options for UV Protection There are many options to protect your eyes from UV light. If you want protection from UV rays as well as comfort from glare and brightness, tinted glasses work well and tinted polarized lenses are best. Options include permanently tinted sunglasses (prescription or nonprescription) or photochromic lenses, which get darker with increased UV intensity but offer UV protection even when clear. You can also use clip-on sunglass lenses over your regular glasses, or large sunglasses that fit over your own glasses and block UV light, even from the sides. Tinted lenses do not necessarily block UV light, so it is important to ensure your lenses block 100 per cent UVA and UVB. Lenses do not have to be dark to block UV rays, so if you want protection, but not the darkening effect of sunglasses, you can choose clear UV blocking lenses. You can even get contact lenses with UV protection. If you dislike wearing sunglasses, it may be because your lenses are too dark or are not good optical quality. Poor quality lenses may cause distortions and give a general feeling of discomfort. Grey tints are “colour neutral” and will not affect your colour perception, but some people prefer the “warm” feeling of brown tints. Factors in UV Exposure Light skin, eye pigmentation and certain medications, such as oral contraceptives and some antibiotics, can affect how susceptible you are to UV light. Infants and young children are especially vulnerable to the damage from UV radiation, and should wear sunglasses and a hat. UV exposure is greater during the mid-day and is also greater near the equator and at high altitudes. UV is reflected from water and snow, increasing your exposure, so you should wear protective lenses around them, such as when skiing or doing water sports. Your BC Doctor of Optometry can make specific recommendations to ensure your eyes are well-protected from the harmful effects of UV radiation. BC Doctors of Optometry provide a full range of vision and eye health care and are your first stop for comprehensive, doctor-delivered care. For more information about your vision and eye health, speak to your BC Doctor of Optometry or check their website at www.bcdoctorsofoptometry.com

She says she always had an idea of what she wanted to be but did not know exactly which path it would take her down. When she left high school, she was interested in sustainable diets with low environmental impacts, and she toyed with the possibility of becoming a dietitian. When you think of a sustainable diet, do you think of consuming insects? That is exactly what entomophagy is, the consumption of insects as food, and that is exactly what Halloran has become involved in since her graduation. “Currently, I’m a consultant for the Edible Insects Programme of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations,” she said. However, that definitely was not the first stop in her journey, which has seen her travel the world while completing her education. After graduation, Halloran moved to Vancouver to attend the University of British Columbia and obtained her Bachelor of Science.
to conduct research in Ghana, Uganda, Malaysia and Tanzania. She has also attended universities in Denmark and Norway. It was on one of these trips that Halloran discovered the world of edible insects. “When I was living and researching in Uganda, I got to eat some delicious grasshoppers and ants,” she said. “They are considered a delicacy in Uganda and can fetch high prices. This was my first exposure to edible insects, and I was sold!” Halloran and the group she works with at the UN have just released a book called Edible Insects: Future Prospect for Food and Feed Security, “which has been really exciting,” she says. The book is receiving a lot of positive attention. This has Halloran very busy speaking with media from all over the world and addressing questions from around the globe about how to get involved with the world of edible insects. Halloran’s next goal is to begin her PhD. She is looking forward to continuing her research, which she hopes will contribute to solving the pressing global issues of our time. Halloran believes many people in Ladysmith would be curious to try entomophagy. She says eating insects is more about overcoming psychological barriers than consuming the insects.
“If you think of it this way, a lot of “From there people eat shrimp [UBC], I worked in … a grasshopper, Tanzania, and after, for example, is that I started my basically a ‘shrimp master’s degree in of the sky,’” she Copenhagen, at said. “I don’t think the University of we should impose British Columbia,” Ladysmith Secondary School graduate Afton something like this she said.

Two chances to see award-winning play Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE
Yellow Point Drama Group is getting ready to present its award-winning production Looking at the Mainstage Festival, but before that, local audiences will have two chances to see the show and help the group raise money. At the recent South Island Zone Festival in Ladysmith, Yellow Point Drama Group (YPDG) won a number of awards, including best production and best backstage work, for its production of the Norm Foster comedy. Barbara Metcalf and Brian March also won best actor awards at the festival. As the best production from the South Island Zone Festival, YPDG’s production of Looking advances to Theatre BC’s Mainstage Festival July 5-13 in Kamloops. To raise money for the trip to Kamloops — where YPDG will present Looking Thursday, July 11 — YPDG is bringing Looking back for two nights: Friday, July 5 at Ladysmith Little Theatre (4985 Christie Rd.) and Saturday, July 6 at Cedar Community Hall (2388 Cedar Rd.). Doors open at 7 p.m. for both shows, and the play starts at 8 p.m. All seats are $15, and tickets can be reserved by calling 250-722-3067. All proceeds from ticket sales will help YPDG get to Kamloops. In Looking, a personal ad in the newspaper brings two middleaged couples together on a blind
date, setting off clever plot twists and an unexpected hookup. Directed by Armando Dosantos, Looking stars March, Gordon McInnis, Barbara Metcalf, and Moira Steele. March says being honoured at the South Island Zone Festival was great, and the whole experience was a valuable learning opportunity. “You really never know when you go to a festival how you are going to stack up against other plays,” said March. “It’s more of a learning experience anyways. You have to go in with the idea that this is a way of educating yourself about theatre and learning through adjudication and through the other performers in the festival.” March says participating in a festival also gives the actors a chance to learn how to prepare in a short period of time and simplify their set because they are going into a different venue and have a limited amount of time to set up. “There are a lot of things that are different than a regular show,” he noted. March says Looking has already gone through a number of changes since YPDG produced it at the Cedar Community Hall in February and March, particularly when it comes to staging. “This is a play that when we first produced it, we produced it with the idea of making it as intimate as possible with the audience; we’ve got some scenes on

We can’t pull it onto the floor with people, and with the stage being at least two times the size of what we work with, changes have to be made.” March, McInnis, Metcalf and Steele spent last week working on those changes in workshops with Barbara French, who adju-
dicated the South Island Festival. “With these two fundraisers, we will be staging it closer to how we’ll stage it in Kamloops,” said March. “For people who may have seen it before, it will be a different look this time around. It’s becoming a more complete play.” March has been to Mainstage Festival before in Nanaimo, but this will be his first time at the festival away from the Island, and he is looking forward to the road trip.
“I guess the main excitement is being able to connect with all the other theatre groups in B.C. who are staging shows, learning other things from the adjudicators of other plays, learning other playwrights you may not have heard of … and just the excitement of so many people who are enthusiastic about theatre in the same place,” he added.

Gallery’s next show explores the art of the bizarre Lise Broadley THE CHRONICLE
Art lovers are invited to immerse themselves in all that’s weird and wonderful at the Ladysmith Waterfront Art Gallery’s new show, How Bizarre?!, which opens Saturday, July 6 at 7 p.m. and runs through July 28. In preparation for the show, artists were invited to create pieces that are a little strange or unusual. Those pieces are set to be delivered to the gallery on July 2 and 3, but until they arrive, nobody knows exactly what they’ll look like. The only guarantee is that they’ll be a bit odd. “I think it’s a nod to the crazy, wild and woolly,” said Ladysmith and District Arts Council president Kathy Holmes. “We try to give artists a theme to take them out of their box. Maybe they’re always a landscape painter — we want them to paint something crazy or wild or put a dino-

Bezeau’s band plays favourites Lise Broadley the chronicle
Music lovers can expect an energetic show full of familiar songs Sunday evening at Transfer Beach Park. Guy Bezeau and Island Country take the outdoor stage at 6 p.m. The five-piece band plays country rock and soft rock. “We’re hoping that there will be dancing, we’re hoping that they’ll sing along with us, because a lot of the songs are traditional, current, and [there is] really a broad variety of songs that are well known,” said Bezeau. “We just think it’s easy listening.” Island Country is made up of two guitars, a bass, drums, and a steel guitar, and four of the musicians also provide vocals. Sunday’s show is the first of the summer for the Concerts in the Park series. This Sunday’s band formed organically over many years. The musicians met one another at different jam sessions on the
Island, began playing together, and in time, they just gelled. Explaining that the members of Island Country are driven simply by a love of music, Bezeau compared being in a band to playing team sports, where people depend on their fellow teammates and feed off one another’s energy. “We all individually continue to improve ourselves as musicians, but the real payday, or the real exciting part, is getting to be able to do that in public,” he said. “If you’re playing in front of a hometown crown and you’ve got 200 people watching you play, it’s pretty highenergy.” Guy Bezeau and Island Country play at the Transfer Beach Amphitheatre Sunday, July 7, starting at 6 p.m. The familyfriendly show is free, though donations to the Ladysmith Resources Centre Association, which organizes the concert series, will be gratefully accepted.
