Community Services Centre earns green LEEDership Gold Nick Bekolay the chronicle

The Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC) has awarded LEED Gold certification to Ladysmith’s Community Services Centre, making it the city’s first structure to earn LEED credit. The red- and black-clad structure — located at High Street and Second Avenue — was completed in 2011, City Manager Ruth Malli said, and now houses the Ladysmith Resources Centre, the Ladysmith Food Back and the Ladysmith Seniors Centre. The Town of Ladysmith submitted an application fee of

$525 to the CaGBC alongside the building’s portfolio “in 2012,” Malli said. An additional $4,144 was paid for “certification fees,” Malli said. The application was submitted for consideration in the LEED Silver category, Mayor Rob Hutchins said, so LEED Gold certification “exceeded our expectations.” Building to LEED standards is now part of the Town’s energy plan, Malli said, and all new civic structures exceeding 5,000 square feet in size will be built to that standard. LEED certification, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is defined as “a third-party certification pro-

gram and an internationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings,” states the CaGBC’s website. Structures submitted for LEED assessment are judged on a variety of criteria with priority given to a candidate building’s energy and water efficiency, the sustainability of the building site, its “indoor environmental quality,” and the materials used in its construction. Buildings that measure up are certified in one of four categories: LEED Platinum, LEED Gold, LEED Silver and LEED Certified. See LEED Gold Page 4

City Manager Ruth Malli (left) and Mayor Rob Hutchins (right) announced the city’s first LEED Gold certification Thursday, Aug. 15, accompanied by Jack Maier, president of the Ladysmith Seniors Society, and Dennis Lait, executive director for the LRCA. Ladysmith’s new Community Services Centre — located at 630 Second Avenue and home to the food bank, the LRCA and the Ladysmith Seniors Centre — received the nod from the Canada Green Building Council earlier this year.

Nationwide shoreline cleanup returns for 20th year

If discarded cigarette butts and plastic bags strewn across your favourite stretch of waterfront leave you feeling irate, taking part in next month’s Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup (GCSC) might be the antidote you’re looking for. The GCSC — a conservation initiative championed by the Vancouver Aquarium and WWF Canada — returns for its 20th year September 21-29 with shoreline cleanups scheduled to take place on rivers, lakes, lagoons and oceanfront beaches nationwide. Last year’s iteration drew more than 57,000 volunteers to shoreline sites across Canada, resulting in the removal of 136,000 kilograms of trash. According to the GCSC’s website, that colossal volume of junk consisted of over 400,000 cigarette filters, 98,835 food containers and 69,790 plastic bags, alongside tens of thousands of plastic bottles, caps, lids, straws, stirrers and spoons. A shoreline cleanup led by Cowichan Neighbourhood House is scheduled for 1 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 15, at Kin Beach Park in Chemainus. Volunteers are welcome to sign up onsite the day of the event and are encouraged to bring gloves and tools if they’re able to. A “private cleanup” is scheduled for Transfer Beach Park at an unspecified date and time, states the GCSC website. Private cleanups are closed to the public and no public cleanups have been scheduled for the Ladysmith area to date, but members of the public are welcome to sign up to coordinate their own cleanup at a location of their choice. For more on the GCSC, visit www. shorelinecleanup.ca.

VIA slow to table on island passenger rail Don Bodger BLACK PRESS

The Island Corridor Foundation (ICF) continues to do everything in its power to get VIA Rail on track with the restoration of an old train service agreement for Vancouver Island passenger rail. The response has been limited, foundation CEO Graham Bruce conceded, but he’ll take anything he can get right now to move in the right direction. “I’m encouraged by it,’’ he said. “We’re still hopeful they’ll get at sitting down at the table and we can cover off all the issues that are there.’’ Key issues Bruce identified that VIA has to deal with under the existing agreement before service can commence are: a new Victoria station and finding a train maintenance centre in the Victoria region. VIA is responsible under the existing agreement for stations, property insurance and taxes, rail cars, maintenance facilities, marketing, scheduling and liability insurance. It also provides an annual subsidy to compensate for the difference between revenues and operating expenses. The annual subsidy has ranged between $973,000 and $1,933,000 during the past decade. Bruce acknowledged the lack of a Victoria station and maintenance facility makes it problematic for VIA to restart the existing agreement, but the ICF is prepared to help solve the problems. Both issues were dealt with in a new comprehensive train service proposal put forward in April on behalf of the ICF by its train operator, Southern Rail, Bruce indicated. There has

Island Corridor Foundation CEO Graham Bruce is struggling to get needed cooperation from VIA Rail in the bid to return passenger rail service to Vancouver Island. ANDREW LEONG/FILE been no response to that proposal. Bruce noted the plan addresses all the issues VIA identified. VIA has also pegged track repairs as essential before any passenger service can resume. The ICF has obtained federal, provincial and regional government commitments totalling $18.2 million for rail infrastructure improvements contingent on a new train service agreement with VIA. “We all want a safe and efficient pas-

senger service,’’ said Bruce. “Either VIA doesn’t understand the infrastructure funds are contingent on the passenger rail agreement or they are just trying to delay in hopes that the people of Vancouver Island will go away.’’ Bruce pointed out although the island rail service had been derailed by a poor schedule and old equipment, ridership climbed six per cent annually in each of the last six years of operation. That’s according to VIA’s annual report, Bruce

indicated. “With a little enthusiasm from VIA and all the parties working together, rail service could see continued ridership growth,’’ offered Bruce. “This is exactly why we are asking VIA Rail to come back to the table and work out the arrangements for a train service agreement.’’ He encouraged people to write to government representatives and VIA officials that might help fast-track the process.

Ladysmith’s Community Services Centre is one of only 244 buildings across Canada to earn LEED Gold designation from the Canada Green Building Council to date.

Nick Bekolay

LEED Gold from Page 1 Of the 523 projects granted LEED certification by the CaGBC as of March 31, 2013, 244 of those projects rated Gold. Beyond the reductions in energy and water consumption that come with building a structure measuring up to LEED standards, the primary advantage of LEED to the community will come in the form of access to grants, City Manager Ruth Malli said. “It helps us, for instance, when we apply for our water or sewer grants,” Malli added. “We’ll list the [LEED Gold certification] as one of the things we’ve done. It shows that the community is committed to sustainability and that’s often a big checkmark.” For more on the Canada Green Building Council’s LEED Certification process, visit their website at http://www.cagbc.org.

Opinion

Renshaw lauded for bequeathing funds to hospital foundation

www.ladysmithchronicle.com

Your Words

“Ladysmith has always been a big supporter of Tour de Rock and we thought it would be kind of neat and unique. I don’t think any other [city] councils fundraise as a group.” Duck Paterson, Page 14

One-time Ladysmith resident Art Renshaw’s donation of $234,000 to the Cowichan District Hospital Foundation (CDHF) is a reminder people need to get their affairs in order sooner rather than later. The good that can come from donations like Renshaw’s can’t be emphasized enough. Instead of leaving a potential bureaucratic mess for authorities to sort out by not specifying his desires, Renshaw was very clear about what he wanted to do. The Cowichan District Hospital was to be the beneficiary and that’s exactly what happened August 15 when the family turned a whopping cheque over to the foundation. There have been some other enormous donations in the past, but not many. Pat Carson’s contribution for a new CT scan at the hospital comes immediately to mind. Renshaw did not have any children and because he’d received great care in the medical system, the recipient of the largest portion of his estate was a no-brainer. The CDHF is very diligent about raising funds through its annual golf tournament and gala auction, but contributions like this from private individuals can make all the difference toward patient care. Equipment is in constant need of updating or replacement and funds to do that on a regular basis just aren’t readily available anymore. And think what a great legacy it is for the family to know Renshaw’s support could potentially benefit so many people. It’s something worth considering for those fortunate enough to have the financial means and even for the average person just to set aside something for such a worthwhile cause. Giving a gift to make hospital care better is just so precious. — Editorial by Cowichan News Leader Pictorial

Another round of liquor reforms BC Views

by Tom Fletcher The B.C. Liberal government is ordering up another round of liquor regulation changes, looking for ways to make life easier for businesses and customers without aggravating the health and social problems associated with alcohol. Discussions with B.C.’s 10,000 liquor licence holders have identified a few problems that should be fixed. Going into a consultation phase that runs to October, the government is looking for answers to a few obvious questions, such as why it takes a pub or bar up to a year to get a licence. Another question: why can a family with under-aged children go into a licensed restaurant for lunch, but can’t go to a pub and place the exact same food and drink order? This should be allowed, perhaps until the traditional 5 p.m. “happy hour” when the pub reverts to adults-only. A couple of suggestions have come out of the healthy growth of B.C. wine, craft beer and distillery operations. Look for new licence opportunities for farmers’ markets to sell local beverages alongside produce and preserves. Letters inviting suggestions from existing licence holders have gone out,

and Richmond-Steveston MLA John Yap will meet with government officials, various stakeholders, police, health officials and First Nations in the fall. A website will be put up in September so members of the public can have their say. Here’s my suggestion to start things off. Recent incidents involving so-called “party buses” shone a light on this growing industry, The sudden death of a 16-year-old on a party bus outing in Surrey in February turned out not to be alcohol-related, but to no one’s surprise, open liquor was found aboard the bus. Open liquor isn’t allowed in any vehicle, but perhaps a new kind of special event licence could be created for party buses. They have been viewed mainly as part of the solution to impaired driving, and the situation isn’t much different from a supervised event on a boat. Here’s another suggestion. Gourmet cooking classes are becoming popular, with customers preparing and then enjoying their meals. Why not licence these establishments, at least so people can bring their own wine for dinner? Both the B.C. Liberals and NDP have advocated for easing the archaic rules on inter-provincial trade in wine. B.C. lifted its restrictions on

mail-order wine and has urged other provinces to follow suit. There are a couple of reasons why this Prohibition-era structure persists. Liquor sales are a cash cow for provincial governments, and every case of wine brought in from elsewhere is lost profit for the provincial wholesale monopoly. Then there is the local industry lobby that would rather not add to its competition. Premier Christy Clark pressed this point at the recent premiers’ meeting in Ontario wine country, bringing in the maximum amount of B.C. wine allowed under Ontario rules and urging free trade in Canadian wine. The Toronto media drank it up, aghast that they were barred from ordering the latest Naramata Bench tipples directly. No movement so far from the Ontario government, in a province that has done well developing its own wine industry. The B.C. government will no doubt be lobbied again to allow beer and wine sales in grocery and convenience stores. Our politicians show little interest in that, which is understandable. The B.C. Liberals don’t want to upset the private liquor stores they have nurtured for a decade, and the NDP would never risk annoying the government liquor store union. There are more creative ways to liberalize alcohol sales.

Emotions ride high for the Tour No better motivation for officers than kids battling cancer Danielle Pope and Kyle Slavin

(Above) Victoria police officers Mike Russell and Marie Bourque, and Oak Bay police reserve officer Aubrey Blackhall (below) are part of the 2013 Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock team.

Black Press

Aubrey Blackhall has been pulling for Tour de Rock since he was in high school. Each year from Grades 9 to 12, the Oak Bay High grad raised money and shaved his head to support the cause. Now, the 21-year-old reserve constable with Oak Bay police is getting an opportunity to ride. “I was really nervous going into the selection process, because I knew that, as a reserve constable, maybe I wouldn’t have the kind of standing that other officers would,” says Blackhall, who has been a reserve officer for a year and a half. “But it seems like what they really wanted to see was that your heart was in the right place.” Blackhall’s heart is there. The young rider lost his grandmother to “an ugly, three-year battle with cancer” when she was only 63 – a loss that motivates him on this ride. Victoria police Const. Marie Bourque has also seen the toll a disease can have on loved ones. In 2001, she learned her father was failing from frontal-lobe dementia and would lose most of his motor skills very quickly. “Even though family is No. 1, caregiving is so tough,” says Bourque, 40. “My dad was 60 years old, which is young, but at least he had 60 years. Caregiving for a child – I just couldn’t imagine that, and what you’d have to go through.”

Arnold Lim photos/News staff

Tour de Rock is a fundraiser that benefits children living with cancer and their families, which helps the riders put things into perspective. “We’re all here for the same reason: we’re all gunning for a cure,” says VicPD Const. Mike Russell. “I’m a huge believer of trying to get the kids to have some sort of normalcy when they go through their treat-

ment. This is about finding a cure for cancer. This is about not losing any more kids to cancer.” Russell, 33, a father of three, says meeting kids who are going through cancer and are the same age as his children takes an emotional toll. “I really want to get to know these kids we’re fighting for, their families, on a more personal level. To get to

know them will add another level of motivation for me,” he says. Tour de Rock has raised almost $18 million for the Canadian Cancer Society since 1998 – money aimed to fund pediatric cancer research and support programs for kids and their families, like Camp Goodtimes. “I get the most gratitude from helping people, and I want this to be the year that cancer ends. Whether or not that happens, I can help a lot of kids get to camp,” Blackhall says. Bourque says she’s riding to support families who have to go through the emotions of seeing their child go through treatment. “What’s not fair is that life has to strike any kids with illness. Kids just want to be kids. They want to move forward and not get stuck in all that,” she says. “They may have struggles, but you can’t see it on their faces. You might get tired (riding), but then you realize the effort you will put in. How could you not? They are your inspiration.” news@mondaymag.com

Jazz festival set to transform Waterwheel Park Second-annual: International-

level talent and rare atmosphere collide in Chemainus Ashley Degraaf Black press

An event billed as being so surreal it’s almost magical is set to sweep the Chemainus Waterwheel Park’s bandshell stage Aug. 24. It is the second-annual Chemainus Jazz Festival, organizer Kathy Wachs describes in such an alluring way. “In the evening, with the lights on at the park, the sun just going down, and with the bandshell nestled in among these huge Douglas firs, and there are people bringing their dogs, and the music is just superb,” Wachs said as she envisioned what’s in the works for the evening performances of a day jam-packed with jazz artists from all over Canada. “We’ve been thinking for quite a long time that we’d like to have this, and with some jazz lovers on the board, and we figured there was an audience there for jazz,” Wachs, board chair of the Chemainus Valley Cultural Arts Society, said. “So last year it started as the Queen’s Jubilee Jazz Festival as we got a small grant to commemorate the diamond jubilee and this year, it’s just the

Chemainus Jazz Festival.” This year’s lineup includes long-time veterans, sisters Christine and Ingrid Jensen, Phil Dwyer, Stu Salmond with Tony Genge, Zandra Burns and Paul Wainwright. And the timing couldn’t have been more perfect, with the festival following the weekend both Christine Jensen and Phil Dwyer held instructional type camps with students, who are now set to hone their skills on the bandshell stage. “What I’d like to see is some of these veterans on stage with some of VIU students as well,” said Wachs, also noting students from Vancouver Island University will be attending. Manitoba’s Zandra Burns will kick the festival off with a performance at 1 p.m. Later, Montreal saxophonist and composer Christine Jensen —described by Globe and Mail’s Mark Miller as an original voice on the international jazz scene, and one of Canada’s most compelling composers — will share the spotlight with her sister, Ingrid, who she was able to convince to tag along. “These ladies are international stars on the jazz scene.

Arts on the Avenue returns to Ladysmith this Sunday Ladysmith’s premiere summer arts fair set to celebrate15th anniversary Lindsay Chung the chronicle

As it celebrates its 15th year this weekend, Arts on the Avenue has gained more space for artists and art lovers. The one-day art show and sale takes place Sunday, Aug. 25 on First Avenue in Ladysmith from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and this year, the Arts on the Avenue venue has moved down First Avenue, and the artists’ big white tents will be lined up from Buller Street to Warren Street. The expanded space will allow the festival’s 50 artists, as well as food artisans and community groups, room to display and will give the visitor elbow room to enjoy the art, according to a press release. Originally conceived by Marina Latulippe, a group of Ladysmith artists and supporters, the festival is a celebration of local art. “It’s grown, I guess, slowly because people have tried to maintain the fact it was all about the pure art,” said Kathy Holmes, president of the Ladysmith Arts Council. “It’s sort of gone up and down, but it’s always gone forward and always been a successful event, mostly due to the artists and to the hard work of the volunteers.” More than 50 juried artists will be tucked under the big white tents offering original art from acrylic and oil paintings, pottery and fabric art to jewelry, carving, glass, willow works and more. “I think we have a great mix of

art,” said Holmes. “It’s not leaning just one way. We will have fine art and fine craft for sure.” Holmes says there will a lot of “amazing” displays throughout the day, including “plein air” art, hand-built pottery, hand-hooked rugs and altered books. There will also be community displays and artisan food to take home, such as pasta, East Indian spices, specialized salt, and jam. Local buskers will provide entertainment, along with belly dancers and an artist on stilts. There will be lots of children’s activities for the budding artist at the Ladysmith and District Credit Union’s Kids Zone. This year’s guest artist is Mark Hobson, who is best known for his passionate portrayals of the wildlife and landscapes of the Pacific coast. Hobson has travelled extensively but calls Tofino home, and the rugged west coast has inspired much of his work. Over the past 25 years, his paintings have won awards in the U.S., Canada and Europe, and he has participated in shows throughout North America and as far afield as Hong Kong and Singapore. Hobson says he has always been interested in creating art. “I think I was three years old when I drew a little chicken that was pretty recognizable as a chicken,” he said. “From that point on, I was drawing every chance I got. I guess that’s what happens when it’s in you. It’s just this desire to recreate things with pencil and crayons.”

Tofino’s Mark Hobson is this year’s Arts on the Avenue guest artist. Hobson’s award-winning portrayals of Pacific Coast landscapes and wildlife will be featured in the Aug. 25 festival, alongside locally crafted pottery, rugs, glasswork and more.

Hall of famer to headline season finale Lindsay Chung

the chronicle

It’s Oldies Night at Ladysmith Concerts in the Park this weekend! As the concert series hosted by the Ladysmith Resources Centre Association (LRCA) comes to a close for 2013, music fans will be treated to two sets of music that will bring them back in time and will likely bring back some great memories this Sunday (Aug. 25). Howie James and the Howlettes – Shirley Whitelaw and Cyndia Doell – will perform during the

first set. In the second set, Cliff Marcil will share his “oldies but goodies.” Called “B.C.’s answer to Tony Bennett” by the Globe and Mail, Howie James is a Nanaimo-based entertainer who made his name back in the sixties and seventies by resurrecting the old Quadra Club in Vancouver and defining nightlife at hot spots like The Livingroom and the Coach House, according to his website. “His smooth vocals and remarkable guitar stylings were a mainstay of Canada’s night clubs and hotel lounges for several decades, garnering him praise from crit-

O’Dell, “Digger” Lenley Gene January 02, 1927 – July 24, 2013 Len “Digger” O’Dell was born in Chelan, Washington, where he went to school, until 1935 when his family moved to Saltair. He completed his schooling in Ladysmith in 1945 and returned to the USA, settling in Bremerton, Port Orchard and Moses Lake. He married Marion Winkle in 1946; his son Rick was born October 26, 1948; they were later divorced. He remarried on May 28, 1951 to Betty Porter; his daughter Linda was born April 30, 1952; they divorced at the end of May 1953. Len moved back to Ladysmith in early 1954, where he met Audrey Lousie Bourque. They married on July 15, 1955 at the Nanaimo Court House. Rick’s mother, Marion McKim (deceased), regained custody September 1955-1959, then Rick came to live with us in Langford. During Len’s 10 years in Washington, he worked (3 years) on the O’Sullivan Dam driving a belly dump Euclid and then as an auto mechanic in Moses Lake. He built his first engine at 13 years of age, and started auto racing in 1946. Most towns had a dirt track; that’s where he gained his expertise on the oval. He did exceptionally well here on the Island- Shearings, Western Speedway & Nanaimo. He belonged to Racing Associations: MIARA; VARA; VITRA, and was inaugurated into the Racing Hall of Fame in 1986; his son Rick in 1997. He raced from 1954 to 1958, then built engines and cars for a few years, including his son Rick’s first car in 1966. At one point, the four fastest cars in the Trophy Dash had engines built by “Digger” O’Dell. Predeceased by his son, Rick O’Dell (Jan 15, 2006); his mother, Alma Violet (Hickethier) (O’Dell) Mawson; and father, Jesse Lee O’Dell. He is survived by his loving and caring wife of 58 years, Audrey O’Dell; daughter, Linda (Herman) Fox; grandson, Daniel (Jennifer) Fox; great grandson, Gabriel Fox and great granddaughter, Cale Fox of Siloam Springs, Arkansas; cousins Jim (Ruth) Griffith of Manson, Aaron (Maxine) Hickethier of Wenatchee, Ernie Gehrke of Springdale, Washington; Donna (Chester) McMillin of Springfield, Missouri. Thank you to Dr. Marta Potts, the Staff at Cowichan District Hospital and our kind and generous friends and neighbours. On Tuesday August 27, 2013 @ 11:00 AM, at Western Speedway in Langford, we’re going to raise the Checkered Flag for the last time for Digger O’Dell. The Racing Hall of Fame and Museum will be open. There will be a light lunch served and Memorial book to sign. Looking forward to seeing Digger’s friends and acquaintances... Audrey O’Dell In lieu of flowers, a donation to The Canadian Red Cross or The Racing Hall of Fame would be greatly appreciated.
