In brief
BCTF will begin workto-rule action
After rejecting an offer from the school district bargaining agency for a long-term contract, the B.C. Teachers’ Federation has served notice it will begin work-to-rule action April 23. BCTF president Jim Iker announced April 17 that 72-hour notice has been given, after union members voted 89 per cent in March to endorse a three-stage strike plan. Phase one includes refusing communication with school managers, arriving no more than an hour before and leaving an hour after school hours, and refusing supervision of students outside class time. It does not affect pre-arranged voluntary activities such as coaching, but the refusal of supervision requires essential service levels that compel some teachers to assure the safety of students while they are out of classes. Report card preparation and parent meetings will continue. Iker said progress at the bargaining table will determine how long phase one action would last. Phase two of the BCTF plan is rotating one-day walkouts in districts around the province. Phase three, a full-scale strike, would require a second vote by members to authorize. — Tom Fletcher
SD68 will look at cuts to trustees
Nanaimo-Ladysmith School District’s board will examine cuts to the number of school trustees and administration as it tries to account for a $5.4-million deficit in its 2014-15 budget. There has been backlash as administration positions were not among 44 full-time equivalent job cuts suggested in an initial budget proposal. A motion for public consultation passed that could ultimately see the school board reduced to seven trustees from nine in time for November’s civic election, but feedback from the public would be key, according to trustee Kim Howland. — Karl Yu
Museum opens with new exhibits
The Ladysmith Museum on First Avenue will remain open until Light Up on Thursday, Nov. 27 Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE
Ladysmith Museum curator Bernardien Knol figures volunteers spent almost 600 hours this winter updating the museum for its 2014 reopening. Our community museum opened Saturday, April 19, and when the doors opened, visitors found many upgrades and changes inside the museum at 721 First Ave. When Lee’s Goldsmith closed, they donated all their display cabinets to the Ladysmith Museum, giving them space to display a lot of new exhibits. “We were able to add a whole bunch of extra stuff we weren’t able to have before,” said Knol. “Overall, we’ve just been adding to what was already there.” One of the first things visitors will notice is new painted murals on the museum’s front windows. They were done by two museum volunteers, and Knol is thrilled with them. “I think they did a fabulous job on that,” she said. The walls of the museum have been updated with Plexiglas covers over the nameplates and paper, and there is new lettering above the exhibits. “It’s all updated and looks more professional, and that’s thanks to the grant from the Town,” Knol said
of the Plexiglas covers. “It just looks more upscale.” Knol feels a big draw is the new display of a miniature Victoria home, which Mary Graham built at the age of 75. The home is filled with handmade furniture and miniature people, and it’s very detailed. There are even lights that turn on. “We already have people from Victoria who say they want to come see this house,” said Knol. There is a new space that can be used by community groups, service clubs and businesses for temporary displays highlighting local milestones. The first display is about Morden Mine and runs until June, and Knol encourages people to get in touch with them if they have an idea for a temporary display that could go up for a month or two. The Ladysmith Museum has also added to its list of gift items and is now selling postcards featuring old photographs and old postcards from 1958. The museum also sells books, T-shirts and the Ladysmith and District Historical Society’s cookbooks. As well, the Ladysmith Museum is working on getting set up for geocaching. The Ladysmith Museum is now open Tuesday to Saturday from noon to 4 p.m., and it will remain open until Light Up on Thursday, Nov. 27.

Town looking into $165K water filtration system Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE
After learning about higher-than-expected turbidity levels in Holland Lake in 2013, Ladysmith council is going to look into water filtration. During an April 17 special council meeting, council directed staff to pursue, in principle, water filtration as the method of secondary water treatment for the Town of Ladysmith and waive the purchasing policy for a Water Filtration Study. Council had received a preliminary presentation about the 2013 Annual Water Report a week earlier and requested that it be brought forward to April 17. The Town’s water system is operated and maintained in accordance with a permit issued through Island Health (VIHA), and the publication of this report is one of the permit requirements. The report confirms that the Town’s water system generally complies with the intent of its permit, aside from the question of water treatment, John Manson, the director of infrastruc-
ture services, explained in tion deferral.

from Stocking Lake to Holland Lake so Holland Lake water, expected to be higher quality, could also be accessed when Holland Creek was not suitable, he noted. But Manson and his staff were surprised when 2013 turbidity readings taken from Holland Lake showed that the lake’s water exceeded the 1 NTU level for about 90 days in 2013, mostly during the winter months when the lake was frozen over. Up to this point, the Town has been using a filtration deferral approach to water quality through the selective use of alternate supply sources to meet VIHA’s Drinking Water Treatment for Surface Water Supplies Policy, but these higher turbidity readings show that it is not likely the Town could obtain a filtration deferral should the Town wish to use Holland Lake water directly 100 per cent of the time. The Town’s current direction for constructing a secondary disinfection system for the water supply is to construct a UV or Ozone system in lieu of filtration, but Manson is now recommending the Town look at a
filtration system. Manson advised council that, to move forward with filtration, a pilot project will be required to provide actual test data on water sources, and this will form the basis of a full-scale design. Staff has tentatively placed this project in the Capital Plan for 2014 at a cost of $165,000. Manson says the numbers are very broad at this point. “There’s no point trying to guess [the cost] right now,” he said. “We need to get the pilot project underway and do what the consultants tell us to find out the cost.” The pilot project would look at two or three options for filtration (such as sand and membrane filtration) and run water through the different technologies, then come up with costs, Manson told council. Coun. Bill Drysdale spoke in favour of going toward filtration. “I think it’s good money after bad if we try to go with UV and then are directed to filtration later,” he said. “I think we should support the pilot project and get an idea of costs to our citizens.”

Blackley creates new sounds on spectral piano Lindsay Chung
Free Termination .. $200
the chronicle
Sitting at a grand piano, hands poised above the keys, Doug Blackley is ready to shatter all your expectations about the instrument. Blackley, an awardwinning composer and sound engineer who moved to Ladysmith in September, has found a way to make an acoustic piano sound electric. Driving the piano strings with electromagnets, Blackley calls the instrument the spectral piano. Blackley has custombuilt software that he can link to a grand piano to make the piano sound like it never has before — holding notes continuously, pitch-bending, creating plucked sounds and emitting ethereal shimmers. At its most basic, Blackley’s spectral piano is an extension of the concept of playing a piano with techniques that allow the creation of sustained tones, he explains on his blog. The basic idea behind this new instrument is the creation of a system that facilitates independentlycontrollable agitation of 48 piano strings. External control is possible from musical keyboards, alternate controllers, the computer, or the regular piano keys if suitable hardware is retrofitted to the instrument. The result is very unique. “As far as I know, someone in 1866 did it once but couldn’t do the sounds I did,” Blackley says, sitting at the piano. “One of the things about an acoustic piano is the sounds die away, but with this one, they won’t.” Blackley knows of Andrew McPherson (creator of the Magnetic Resonance Piano)

Doug Blackley demonstrates his spectral piano, an electromagnetically-driven grand piano. Lindsay Chung and Pers Bloland doing something similar, but all these instruments sound different. “This alters the behaviors of the acoustic piano,” explained Blackley. “This is an acoustic instrument, not electric. It’s an acoustic instrument that has the abilities of an electric instrument. It’s pretty unique. Now, I have to figure out what to do with it.” Blackley first thought of the spectral piano 20 years ago. He was doing sound design and music for a play by Frank Moore and using a grand piano that had all the keys taken off, called a prepared piano. “That’s cool but it’s been done for 50 years,” said Blackley. “I wanted something continuous. I never dreamed I’d be able to get so many sounds out of it until I did my Masters in Fine Art at Simon Fraser University.” Blackley has worked on major live theatre and television productions for many years. After working in music and sound design in Edmonton, he moved to Vancouver to focus on composing for other media, including television and film. He won a Leo Award in 2001 and was nominated for a 2001 West Coast Music Award for best overall film score.
Blackley teaches music theory, composition and electronic synthesis at the Art Institute of Vancouver, and he owns his own recording studio, Soundscore. Blackley has been interested in sound since he was a child. “When I was a kid, I got my parents to buy me a stereo tape recorder so I could make sounds and make them zing between the speakers,” he said. Blackley’s experiences as a musician also kept him wanting to learn more about sound. “I play drums, and drumming is about manipulating rhythm and sound,” he said. “But it’s not pitched like a piano. When I was in jazz college, I learned about modular synthesizers ... I wound up using synthesizers to create sounds for theatre and TV.” Blackley says one thing that keeps him interested in sound design and composing is the fact you are always learning and re-inventing yourself. “It’s as deep as you want to make it,” he said. “I’ve been doing it my whole life, and in a lot of ways, I regard myself as a beginner because the more you know, the more you realize you don’t know.” “And then there’s this wonderful, luscious
sound when things are sounding amazing,” he added. “It’s a real organic rush. You don’t get that necessarily in every job.”

Gas prices aren’t going to get better

YOUR WORDS
“It’s an acoustic instrument that has the abilities of an electric instrument.” Doug Blackley, Page 5
T
he angst at the pump this week was predictable. Anytime somebody informs you the cost of living is going up by a few hundred dollars, or more, during the next year, the groans are inevitable. Unfortunately, what also seems inevitable is the resignation. Gas price hikes aren’t new, or unusual. It wasn’t that long ago that prices were under a dollar per litre, and at least half the people reading this are going to remember filling up when that rate was less than 30 cents a litre. Every time those rates jumped ... by and large, people continued to do what they’ve always done — filled up their cars and headed out to the highway. The simple fact of the situation is all of us are slaves to the gas pump. Try as we might to avoid it, our society is built around the automobile and has been for at least 60 years. Where we live, where we work, where we learn, where we eat and where we play are often impractical and sometimes impossible to link without the aid of a gas-powered vehicle. Most of us don’t think we can do anything about it; it doesn’t occur to some of us why we should even try. But we need to. We need to start directing our society away from its reliance on gas. It’s easy for some to dismiss the climate change crowd as intellectual zealots, and the 100-mile diet people as trendy hipsters, but the fact remains: we can’t continue down the path. Never mind the environmental issues, we simply will not be able to afford it financially. The future is coming and our lives are going to be different. Start embracing change before change buries us all. —Cowichan News Leader Pictorial

Inconvenient truths for Earth Day BC Views
by Tom Fletcher
E
arth Day 2014 will likely go down in B.C. history as less exciting than last year’s event. That was the day when, in the heat of the election campaign, NDP leader Adrian Dix announced in Kamloops that he doesn’t support the expansion of the Trans Mountain oil pipeline to its Burnaby terminal, because Vancouver shouldn’t become a “major oil port.” As of this Earth Day, it has been an oil port for exactly a century, since Imperial Oil began work on B.C.’s first refinery in 1914, in what is now Port Moody. There were no pipelines then, so crude was moved by rail or tanker. For 60 years, Trans Mountain has supplied the Chevron refinery in Burnaby that is southern B.C.’s last source of fuel. Some of the Alberta crude is piped south to be refined into fuels and some of that
product is barged back up to B.C. to keep our traffic moving. Today, the proposal to expand and upgrade that pipeline, and to build new oil and natural gas pipelines across the north, dominates B.C.’s political scene. In keeping with the educational aspect of Earth Day, here are some things you may not know about energy and the environment. • A recent National Geographic report summarizes the main sources of oil in the oceans around North America. Media coverage focuses on tanker and pipeline spills, but they only account for eight per cent of the total. Fully 60 per cent of the oil load in North American waters is from natural seeps, where oil leaks from seafloor rock. One of the world’s largest is off Santa Barbara, Calif., where 20 to 25 tons flows out each day. It’s mostly consumed by oileating bacteria that have adapted and proliferated. The next biggest source is leakage from cars and

actually appears to be helping to reduce emissions. An update to provincial data is due this year, but what we have shows a 5.7-per-cent decrease in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases between 2007 and 2011. Environment ministers have conceded that some of this is due to the recession that struck in 2008-2009. But since the economy has recovered and begun to grow again, emissions have continued to decline. • There are simple things anyone can do, without gimmicks or government programs. One would be to stop protesting increased housing density in your community. By far the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in B.C., not to mention old-fashioned pollution, is transportation. By living closer to where we work, shop and play, we can exercise our legs instead of just our gas pedal foot to get around. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press.

trucks, which collects on pavement and is flushed to sea when it rains. • Earth Day is now preceded by Earth Hour, during which we are encouraged to turn out our lights to join a world-wide gesture of conservation. Many people use the occasion for a candlelight dinner. Given that B.C.’s power is nearly all from renewable hydroelectric sources, and that the paraffin used to make candles is derived from petroleum or coal, this feel-good ritual produces an increase in greenhouse gas emissions. David Suzuki is now promoting the idea of Earth Month, an expansion of the symbolic effort designed to “raise awareness.” This is a popular notion in the climate change industry, which to date consists mostly of government officials and activists flying around the world to conferences in exotic locations to sign agreements that lead to, well, not much so far. • Unlike Earth Hour, B.C.’s carbon tax on fuels

Op-Ed
The greatest threat to the B.C. environment in our lifetime — Part 1
Your View
My name is David Black. I am the majority owner of Black Press, the company that owns this newspaper. This is the first of two columns addressing what I see as the greatest threat to the B.C. environment in our lifetime. I am a reasonably sensible and conservative businessman, not an alarmist. All of the information in this column can be confirmed from public sources. The oil industry wants to export Alberta bitumen to Asia via tankers. Under no circumstances should we allow that to happen. A bitumen spill at sea could destroy our coastline, together with the fish and wildlife that depend on it, for hundreds of years. Bitumen, even if it is diluted, does not float in sea water if there is sediment present. This has been proven many times, most recently in a thorough Environment Canada study published on Nov. 30, 2013. Page 51 of the study provides graphic evidence of sunken bitumen. Given that there is an abundance of sediment along the B.C. coast, the bitumen will sink rapidly and there will be little chance of recovering any of it if there is a spill. By Northern Gateway’s own admission, the likelihood of a bitumen spill at sea is over 10 per cent over the next 50 years. Others say that it is much higher. We are in agreement with the position taken by the Coastal First Nations that even the slightest risk of a spill of bitumen at sea is unacceptable. The grounding of the Exxon Valdez in Alaska in 1989 is often held up as an example of how bad an oil spill at sea can be; however, a spill of bitumen at sea would be much worse. The Exxon Valdez carried light crude and lost 250,000 barrels, one-eighth of a tanker load. The Subscribe to could be relight oil floated and moved from the beaches. Even so, after four years of work with 250-245-2277 up to 11,000 workers Includes and 1,400 $ online boats involved, less than 10 per access cent of it was recovered. Rough-

Seija Laine, a 1st Ladysmith Brownies Guider, sent us this photo of the 1st Ladysmith Brownies, who enthusiastically worked to clean up the streets around their meeting hall on April 7. “They picked up the smallest bits of trash and crawled on their knees if needed, and always doing so with smiles on their faces, knowing that they were helping their community,” said Laine. If you have any photos you’d like to share with us, please send them to editor@ladysmithchronicle.com. ly 200,000 birds and many kinds of other wildlife were killed. Approximately 1,300 miles of shoreline were affected, and the fishery has yet to fully recover. Bitumen is very different. It would harden up on shore and much of it would sink to the bottom, making it unrecoverable and killing virtually everything with which it came in contact. Imagine if we lost a full tanker load. Some say that, with GPS-based navigation and double hulls, spills such as Exxon Valdez are not possible today. They are wrong. Double hulls do not prevent hull fracture if there is a collision at speed, only if there is a gentle scrape. As for the GPS claim, most marine accidents are caused by human inattention, not by a lack of knowledge about position. All ships carried systems to indicate their location before GPS came along. The Exxon Valdez crew could have glanced at their

The pipeline from Alberta and the tanker fleet to export the refined fuels will also be considered. Let me declare my biases. I am for creating thousands of good permanent jobs in B.C. I am for creating billions of new tax dollars for government coffers. I am for reducing the planet’s greenhouse gas emissions. I am for building an oil pipeline that will never leak. I am for building a modern tanker fleet that carries only refined fuels that float and evaporate if spilled. I am against shipping bitumen in tankers. If you agree that we should not put bitumen in tankers, please contact your local MP and say so. The Canadian government makes a decision on this next month.

instruments to determine their location, but they didn’t; neither did the crew on the Queen of the North. Marine disasters regularly occur, and a quick search of the Internet shows human error is most often the problem. Undoubtedly, there will be many more marine accidents in future. Our grandchildren will not thank us if we willingly risk the destruction of the B.C. coast on our watch. Fortunately, there is a solution that is beneficial for all concerned: all we have to do is build a refinery at Kitimat. The refinery will convert the bitumen to gasoline, diesel and jet fuel which float and evaporate if they are spilled. Often, little or no spill remediation is required. These refined fuels simply do not cause the habitat destruction of conventional or synthetic crude oil, or anywhere near the devastation caused by bitumen. The second part of this OPED

You don’t have to start on the road Many of the top road racers in the world didn’t start on the pavement. They started in the dirt. Why? Because it teaches you how to control a bike in less than ideal traction environments. Also, if you fall, it doesn’t hurt as much! You can certainly get your feet wet when it comes to learning clutch and brake control on a “softer” surface, too. Furthermore, you don’t need a learner’s permit if you are riding off road. When and if you want to transition to the street riding, you’ll need it for that. Check out Popkum Motor Park’s Lessons/Training (www.popkummotorpark.com) program for all ages, as well as the BC Off Road Motorcycle Association’s website (www.bcorma.ca) for upcoming MSF Dirt Bike Schools. Another perk to starting to build your bike confidence on the dirt, training programs aren’t as expensive. So, this is me, the little white angel on your shoulder whispering, “Go on, get on two wheels!” But remember, safety is paramount.

Explore Ladysmith’s history this May Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE
This May, Vancouver Island University ElderCollege is coming to Ladysmith. ElderCollege is holding a three-session short course for learners “50 or better” about “Ladysmith — A Lady With A Past.” Rob Johnson, whose family was among the very first settlers in Ladysmith and leads historical walking tours in town, will lead the course, which runs Tuesday, May 6, Tuesday, May 13 and Tuesday, May 20 from 1-3 p.m. at the Ladysmith Maritime Society Marine Welcome Centre. The course costs $25 plus tax, and you do not need to be a member of ElderCollege to register. VIU ElderCollege is a volunteer-driven notfor-profit program that offers a variety of different courses related to arts, science, history, health, social sciences, recreation, and life skills. The program has been running on Vancouver Island for more than 20 years. “After the spring series is over, we did this last year, and we had a series of short courses,” explained Lynda McCullough, ElderCollege board chair. “We’re doing it again, and we have 12 this year. They are three or four weeks long, and we have them in Parksville and
Nanaimo and this year one in Ladysmith. I live in Ladysmith, and I’m very interested in getting courses off-campus and to the south. I’ve met with many groups and asked if they would be interested in going to ElderCollege, and they said they were definitely interested, but one issue was travelling to Nanaimo.” “Because there’s that little period of time between when the spring course ends and summer activities begin, people seemed interested in doing a short course, and that was very popular,” said McCullough. This is your opportunity to find out how Ladysmith came into being. Learn how and why James Dunsmuir created this instant town. Learn about the town’s connection with the Boer War and the Spanish War of Independence, and how Ladysmith is connected to Winston Churchill, Gandhi, and even Ponce de Leon. Learn about Ladysmith’s role in the Great Vancouver Island Coal Strike, and find out who was Lady Smith. One of the weeks will be a walking tour of Ladysmith, according to McCullough. “It’s a great way to get to know Ladysmith better,” she said. The mission of VIU ElderCollege is to offer quality learning op-
portunities for older adults by providing a forum for the sharing of information and knowledge in communities served by VIU. Courses are participatory, not just lectures, and some courses include field trips. An annual membership with VIU ElderCollege is $20, and most tuition for the longer courses in the
fall and spring is $40 or to register for the plus tax per course. “Ladysmith — A Lady “It helps you to stay With A Past” course, active, helps your visit www.viu.ca/elderbrain stay active,” said college or call 1-866McCullough. “It’s a 734-6252. great way to get to “The more people know people and your who attend courses community, get edu- in Ladysmith, there’s cated and have social more opportunity for fun.

This Saturday, there’s going to be a party in Chemainus, and everyone is invited. The inaugural “Celebrate Chemainus” Real Estate and Business Fair will take place Saturday, April 26 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Chemainus Legion. Hosted by Simmonds Lifestyles Team of Sutton Group West Coast Realty, the event features a trade show highlighting businesses in the region, live music and guest speakers. “It’s to promote Chemainus businesses and to bring awareness to all the positive things that are going on in Chemainus,” explained organizer Debbie Simmonds, an associate broker with the Simmonds Lifestyles Team. The chief economic development officer will be speaking, Simmonds will speak about real estate investing, and people will be able to play Cash Flow games — which Simmonds describes as “like Monopoly on steroids” — to learn about creating passive income. There will also be performances by legendary folk singer Valdy, acoustic vocal Beatles tribute band Deaf Aids, and country/pop/rockabilly band Lonesome 77 with Sasha Gilbert-Stone, from Chemainus and Salt Spring Island. “It’s just to create a fun party atmosphere,” said Simmonds. “It is the first one, and if it goes over well, we’ll make it an annual thing.” Local businesses will be occupying 24 booths during the fair. “It’s a very unique way of bringing more expo-

JP Hoe shares music on the dock April 28 Staff Writer THE CHRONICLE
Winnipeg-based singersongwriter JP Hoe is known for the way he connects with fans of all music genres and for his soaring melodies, sharp lyrics and melody-driven songs. After blowing away the crowd at the Short Close Song Shelter this past November, JP Hoe returns to Ladysmith Monday, April 28, bringing a trio for a performance at the Ladysmith Maritime Society (LMS) Welcome Centre. “Western Canadian Music Award nominated artist JP Hoe is the ultimate singersongwriter,” says Ottawa Life magazine. “The Winnipeg native is earnest, wry, ironic, funny, and insightful. His material has a genuine homespun feel, filled with catchy hooks and melodies — genuine, uncontrived and confes-

In recent weeks, Hoe has performed during JunoFest in Winnipeg, been featured on CBC’s Definitely Not
The Opera and performed at South by Southwest in Austin, Tex., and the Folk Alliance International Showcase in Kansas City, Miss. “The six-time Western Canadian Music Award-nominated artist has a tremendous gift for writing songs would
sound as good stripped down around a campfire as they would in a soft-seat theatre with a full orchestra,” states Hoe’s website. “Hoe’s big, bold, blue-sky voice — the product of hundreds of days on the road — has a lot to do with that. He’s a dyed-in-thewool troubadour type who knows he’s only as good as his last show. He’s played gigs all over the world, connecting with audiences via his soulon-sleeve lyrics, but also his down-to-earth unpretentious charm.” JP Hoe performs Monday, April 28 at 7 p.m. at the LMS Welcome Centre. This is a family-friend event, and tickets are $20. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and tickets can be purchased at the LMS Welcome Centre or reserved by e-mailing info@mmgrp.ca. This show was booked by the Vancouver Island Music Connection.

5-A-Side Championship a success The Mid-Isle Soccer Club hosted another successful 5-A-Side Championship April 5 and 6 at Forrest Field. The club wrote the following report on its Facebook page: “It was a fantastic weekend of soccer up at Forrest Field as players young and old (and older) took to the pitch to battle it out for Mid-Isle Club supremacy in the Second Annual 5-A-Side Club Championship. Thanks to all who played, laughed, cried, and cheered — and congratulations to divisional winners the All Blacks (Adult), the All Nets (U15), the Grapes (U13), and the Neon Narwhals (U11) for playing a great tournament. Huge respect to Cheryl Merriman for organizing the tourney, making sure everyone had the right shirt, answering every question thrown at her, and also finding time to play some stellar footy for the Executive team! Big thanks also to the U21 Highlanders players and parents for running the show!”

The Last Word
Heard around town...
The Ladysmith Kinsmen Club raised just over half a ton of food and $1,800 for the Ladysmith Food Bank during a food drive and hot dog sale April 12 and 13 in front of 49th Parallel Grocery. Jim Delcourt from the Kinsmen says a lot of that food came from Farmer Ben’s Eggs, who donated 345 dozen eggs. Delcourt would like to thank the Sportsman Hotel, Dan Hunter Dental Mechanic, the Veterans Club, 49th Parallel Grocery and Twisted Scissor Lounge for all their support over the weekend. Here, from left, Kinsmen Jim Delcourt, Patti Bauml of Twisted Scissor Lounge, and Kinsmen Chris Saunders and Larry Adair sell hot dogs and collect food donations in front of 49th Parallel Grocery on Sunday, April 13.
