Recycling changes start this week Staff Writer THE CHRONICLE

Big changes are coming to recycling in the Cowichan Valley this week. The May 19 introduction of the new Multi-Material BC (MMBC) recycling program means the list of recyclable items accepted at your curbside is changing. While recycling will still be picked up in yellow bags at the curb, and the pick-up days and frequency won’t change, there are some significant differences in what you can put in those yellow bags, beginning today. Film plastics will no longer be accepted in curbside pick up. Instead, they will

be accepted at the Junction Bottle Depot A number of items have been added to and the Peerless Road Recycling Centre. the list of acceptable curbside products, Film plastics include: including: • Clear or opaque retail bags for grocer- • Clean gable-top cartons (milk, milkies or dry cleaning type beverages, cream, substitute eggs) • Clear or opaque bags for bread, news- — these will continue to be accepted in papers and flyers the organics bin • Clear bags for produce and dry bulk • Some aerosol containers foods • Clean plant pots and trays • Frozen vegetable/fruit bags • Clean aseptic boxes for milk, milk• Outer wrap for bulk paper products type beverages, soup, broths and sauces and soft drink and can flats • Clean paper packaging coated in wax • Water softener, salt and garden prod- — these will continue to be accepted in uct bags the organics bin • Outer milk bags and pouches • Clean hot and cold drink cups — these • Diaper and feminine hygiene product will continue to be accepted in the orouter bags ganics bin • Pre-washed salad bags • Telephone books and other directories

Cowichan Valley residents have five local recycling depots that will take glass, film plastics and Styrofoam items, including Cowichan Valley Regional District (CVRD) Recycling Centres at Peerless Road, Bings Creek, and Meade Creek, as well as Island Return-It bottle depots in Ladysmith and Duncan. According to the CVRD, multi-family dwellings will continue to be managed privately, so those residents should speak with their service providers with regards to any changes to their recycling collection programs. Information, including recycling locations and hours, can be found at www. recyclinginbc.ca or www.cvrdrecycles. bc.ca.

Spuptitul in Ladysmith ‘a first huge step’ Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE

May 13 was an important day in School District 68 and at Ladysmith Secondary School. It was the first time the school district hosted a Spuptitul, a Hul’qumi’num language competition. The importance of the day and the event, which celebrates local First Nations language and culture, brought together about 100 students from kindergarten to Grade 12 from Ladysmith, Nanaimo and the Cowichan Valley and also brought together all In right photo, students parade in to drumming from Pleasant Valley Elementary School students to open the Spuptitul May 13 at Ladysmith Secondthree chiefs from the school dis- ary School, while at left, students participate in a soccer workship with Vancouver Island University players.

Coastal chiefs show support for Stz’uminus First Nation Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE

In a private meeting held at the Stz’uminus Elders Centre Monday, May 12, First Nations chiefs from up and down the coast expressed their full support for the action being taken by the Stz’uminus First Nation in its dispute with Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). Stz’uminus had announced May 2 that it was restricting access to its core territory in the Salish Sea. Stz’uminus Chief John Elliott met with David Bob of Snawnaw-as (Nanoose), Chip Seymour of Cowichan, Wilbur Jack of Penelakut, John Wesley of Snuneymuxw and James Thomas of Halalt on May 12, and El-

liott addressed the media on behalf of the group following the closed meeting. “We had to get together because we all share the same frustrations around management and the issues that we have around creating economy for our people,” said Elliott. “They wanted to show their support by coming today and letting us know the work we have been doing is not going unnoticed. I think it was a very strong statement today that our neighboring nations are as frustrated as we are.” Elliott says their key issues are that they want co-management of fisheries in their territories, and they want to have economic opportunities in their territories that truly benefit

their nation. Elliott says the Stz’uminus First Nation is watching all the fisheries in its territory, and this issue is not going to go away. “We’re in it for the long haul,” he said. “I think we’re going to have to take action if DFO doesn’t change its policies. If it’s just being out there, I don’t know how you determine or define blockading, we will definitely be out there to protect our resources.” Ray Gauthier, CEO of Coast Salish Development Corporation, explained that while DFO makes licences available to them, the problem is there is no guarantee they will have continued access to those licences. DFO did not respond by press time.

YOUR WORDS

Congratulations Ladysmith

“When I found mine, I felt relieved and really proud that it was up.” Kathryn Schertzer, Page 10

Editor: I recently attended Ladysmith and District Credit Union (LDCU)’s AGM and their 70th Anniversary Celebration, which honoured its founders. John Ulinder, my late father, was a founding member. It was a memorable evening. My father was given a warm tribute, and I received a bouquet of flowers and a copy of Ladysmith — Our Community. Your Credit Union. A History — a book commissioned by the LDCU and written by Patrick A. Dunae. This book describes the history of the LDCU and Ladysmith as a community. My father would be proud of how the LDCU has developed, their future plans, and the exceptional contributions they make to the community. I also visited the expanded Ladysmith Historical Society’s Archives and their significantly enhanced Ladysmith Museum. Thanks to all the volunteers. Ladysmith has something else of which to be proud and enjoy. Lois C. (Ulinder) Allen Victoria

Thank you for helping find kayaks Editor: Recently, our handcrafted cedar-strip kayaks were stolen from a locked shed. My husband spent 650 hours building these beautiful boats. We were relieved and so grateful when the RCMP called and informed us the kayaks had been recovered. Many thanks to the Ladysmith RCMP, the Chronicle, every place that allowed us to put up posters and the kind person or persons who spotted them abandoned. Lawretta and Bill Stevens Ladysmith

Clarification

We apologize for neglecting to mention former mayor Alex Stuart, the master of ceremonies, and Don Harrison, who initiated the celebration and contacted council and the governor general’s office, in last week’s article about Keith Turner’s 107th birthday party. As well, the a rticle states that Turner worked at Madill’s mills, but Madill’s actually manufactured logging machinery, and Turner was not told to fire female workers at Madill’s but at a shipyard.

Aboriginal education or victim studies? BC Views

by Tom Fletcher

he B.C. School Trustees’ Association is calling for a mandatory high school course on the history of residential schools set up to assimilate aboriginal children into European culture. Trustees propose a 25hour course required for all graduating students, using interviews with residential school survivors, presentations by aboriginal leaders and discussion of current events. This would build on aboriginal courses already in offered in B.C. schools, and a public education effort that began with Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s 2008 apology and compensation for Canada’s residential school policy. B.C. Teachers’ Federation vice-president Glen Hansman gave a speech on the need for mandatory education to a 2012 teacher conference. He said current aboriginal culture courses are poorly attended, and went on to denounce a school system he said is still based

on “colonialism” and a “settler construct” of history. “We need to acknowledge that racism is the norm in public schools — still today,” Hansman said. Is it really? He also claimed that the purpose and legacy of the residential schools have been “deliberately hidden” from school curriculum. In lieu of evidence, Hansman recounted old anecdotes of American-style stereotyping from his own schooling in Ontario. But mostly he demanded social engineering in schools that must of course include more funding, more teacher professional development time and an affirmative action program to recruit more aboriginal teachers. Do Hansman’s allegations reflect the kind of attitude that would lead to truth and reconciliation? Or are they signs of another unfortunate legacy, that of the victim studies mentality that permeates our universities? Here’s a suggestion for this mandatory course. Students could spend a couple of hours on one of the definitive works of B.C.

(in the form of slaves and property such as dried and smoked salmon) or to exact revenge for previous insults.” Archaeological study of stone fortifications and weapons at fishing sites in the Fraser Canyon traces a history of inter-community violence back at least 3,000 years. This is the seldom-discussed backdrop for the European settlement of B.C., the imposition of British law and the later establishment of church-run residential schools. None of this is to excuse the forced removal of aboriginal children from their families, the horrendous abuse and neglect or the multi-generational damage to a culture already weakened by waves of smallpox. This 1928 plan to fix what was called the “Indian problem” deserves to be understood by everyone. But glossing over historical context and presenting a guilt trip to students would serve no one well. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press.

A long-term project of the Stól:lo Nation, the atlas has meticulously documented chapters on European contact and residential schools, and others that piece together oral histories and what few written records there are of B.C. First Nations life at the time of European contact. A journal kept at Fort Langley from 1827 to 1830 documents some of the raids between aboriginal communities on the Fraser River and Vancouver Island, corroborating elders’ accounts. During those three years, Cowichan men attacked the Chilliwack Stó:lo community four times. In the same period, the journal records 30 incidents of inter-community violence, some reaching down to present-day Washington state. Atlas editor Keith Thor Carlson summarized the research this way: “Viewed from the perspective of the aggressor, raids and attacks appear to have been motivated primarily by a desire to obtain quick wealth

Council postpones dog decision TIDES Ross Armour THE CHRONICLE

The prospect of dogs being leashed in order to walk along parts of the Holland Creek Trail continues to cause a stir at the Ladysmith council table. Recently, a complaint came forward after a man was bitten along the trail due to a dog, at which council asked for a recommendation to come forward from Parks, Recreation and Culture staff. That recommendation arrived at last Monday’s regular council meeting at City Hall, but council decided to postpone voting on the recommendation until the next meeting, following further information coming forward from the Town’s animal control officer. Part of the recommendation, and arguably the most significant, states “that council amend Parks

Usage Bylaw 1995, No. 1158 as amended to state that dogs must be leashed during the period between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. while on the portion of Holland Creek Trail between Methuen Road and upper Holland Creek bridge.” The idea of having dogs leashed at any point along the trail has always been much to the dismay of confessed “animal lover” Coun. Gord Horth. “The challenge will still be all about enforcement,” Horth said at the meeting. “I’m an animal fan but can think operationally. This is not a liability issue for the Town. We are now saying people can go there 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and the dogs will be leashed. But without enforcement, that won’t happen. It takes time. It’s already in the bylaw that the dogs have to be under control. It’s

about enforcement and getting better signage to encourage people to do the right thing.”

community in the world. In Victoria, Dallas Road is one of the most heavily used areas after Stanley Park where people can go with dogs. And it works because they have better signage.” Coun. Duck Paterson was slightly confused at the time frame picked by Parks and Rec. “How many people will be using the trail at that time? If the dogs aren’t leashed until 10 a.m., most Gord Horth people will be using Ladysmith council the trail earlier than that, as they go to work,” he said. Mayor Rob Hutchins said that the recommendation allows “people who are intimidated to use Horth thinks the the trail at that time.” recommendation will Horth remains unprompt “two oppos- convinced. ing views in the com- “Now we only have munity” if passed. five parks that are “That’s not healthy. off-leash and that Simply putting a dog will become four,” he on a leash doesn’t said. “We’re not bemean there won’t be ing particularly dogan altercation.

and I’ve never had an issue. We’re setting ourselves up for failure here, and neither party will be happy with this decision. “We should dedicate our resources to enforcement. We are moving too quickly. We should just act responsibly and say give them a $100 ticket [if the dogs are irresponsible] and then if they do it again, $300, like they do for bad drivers. Some people take a lot of time and effort to make sure their dogs act responsibly.” The animal control officer will be speaking at the next council meeting, scheduled for Monday, June 2 at 7 p.m. at City Hall. Asked if council would indeed be voting on the recommendation at that meeting, Hutchins said, “I hope so. We’ll either amend it, postpone it, or pass it.”

With the school year winding down, local high school students have a chance to get a head start on finding some summer work with the Students Helping Seniors program. Students Helping Seniors, run by the Ladysmith Resource Centre Association (LRCA) with funding from the Canadian government, offers students a chance to gain work experience by helping seniors complete odd jobs around their home. Students provide assistance with jobs such as yard and garden maintenance, household chores, car washing, pet care and shopping and earn $10.25 per hour. Students Helping Seniors co-ordinator Michael Williams wants seniors in Ladysmith and Saltair to know there is a program out there to help them with chores and yard work. “I’ve dealt with seniors before, and a lot of times, when they get involved in this

program, it’s a great opportunity to learn about younger people in the community, and obviously the help they get completing jobs [is a benefit],” he said. Williams also sees a lot of benefits for students. “I think for a lot of the kids, it’s their first work experience, and it’s a great opportunity to get work experience,” he said. “It’s a great opportunity to get involved in the community, and as an added bonus, they get to make money. It benefits both [groups] and that’s why the program grew last year and hopefully keeps growing in the future.” Students participate in an orientation session before starting work, and Williams is hoping to bring in a representative from the RCMP to talk about personal safety, a representative from Global Vocational Services to discuss resumés and someone from the Seniors Centre to speak about interacting with seniors.

But there are many other jobs, such as scrubbing a boat. “There are a lot of variety of jobs and a lot of opportunities for students to try new things they might not have done before,” said Williams. The LRCA is accepting Students Helping Seniors applications right now, and Williams hopes to run an orientation session in early June. The program will run from June until the end of August.

District considers reduction of number of trustees The Board of Education of School District No. 68 (Nanaimo-Ladysmith) is asking the public for input on a proposal to reduce the number of trustees from nine to seven.

Robin McCormack was in Ladysmith May 14 to raise awareness for the Canadian Heroes Foundation. After his son Zachery was killed in Afghanistan in December 2009, McCormack and his wife decided to “do something” with their son’s truck, so they worked with Canadian Heroes — a non-profit organization that raises awareness and support for front line responders and pays tribute to those who served in the past, present and future — and painted it. Zachery is pictured on the truck (second from the left), along with three other soldiers who died with him. McCormack is from Sherwood Park, Alta., and decided to drive the truck to Vancouver Island and back, making various stops, including the Parliament buildings in Victoria.

Student art hangs downtown Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE

There is new artwork gracing Ladysmith’s streets, and it comes courtesy of a group of dedicated students. New banners were recently installed in downtown Ladysmith, and they were created through a joint initiative between the Town of Ladysmith and Ladysmith Secondary School (LSS)’s visual arts program. The Town provides the banner material, paint and installation, and Grade 9-12 stu-

dents design and paint the banners as an art class project. There is a different theme for the banners each year, and this year’s theme was mythology. After learning about the theme, students were able to come up with their own ideas. “I think it was fun trying to find your own idea, looking up pictures on the computer and in books and trying to find your design from that,” said Emily Benson, a Grade 9 student who painted a banner inspired by

Jack and the Beanstalk. Students say it was a process to create the banners, and it had its challenges, but the project was rewarding. Ninth-grader Daniel Redding, who painted a banner with a unicorn sitting on a cloud, found the most challenging part was painting and mixing colours. Kathryn Schertzer, who is in Grade 9 and painted a banner inspired by the fairy tale about the Cat and the Fiddle, feels fortunate to have been part of this project. “I moved to this school this year, and I was really nervous, and when I came to art, it relaxed me,” she said. “When I found out I got to do this banner, it was exciting. I feel really privileged to do a banner, and I think it’s really rewarding to have your banner displayed for the town.” Benson remembers driving through town and seeing the banners in town and thinking they were really good. Now, her banner hangs in that same place. “Even though it takes time and is hard, and even if it’s not that good, I think it’s something you should be proud of because it’s something you can show the whole town,” noted Redding. Although Benson and Redding haven’t seen their banners hanging in town yet, Schertzer has seen hers. “When I found mine, I felt relieved and really proud that it was up,” she said.

switches to low beams when an oncoming vehicle is detected. Other options include a panoramic sunroof, a heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats, tri-zone automatic climate control, and rear door window blinds. Driver-assist safety technologies are also available in abundance for those who like the car to do some thinking for them. The new Genesis is also a statement of intent: it heralds what will be the look of the seven new less-premium Hyundai products expects to grace our showrooms before 2016. When it comes to driving, it’s really a tale of two cars. The top-of-the-line model offers a big V8 5-litre power plant, with 420 horses at its disposal. Ironically, it’s best enjoyed jogged along at low speed on the highway, where it has the feel of an old-fashioned big family sedan. (It’s not a lot of fun on the twisting lakeside roads of the Okanagan.) Cars destined for the Canadian market will come with an all-new HTRAC

active wheel drive (AWD) system. Says Hyundai: “Performance of the vehicle’s all-new platform was validated in some of the world’s most demanding driving environments, including Germany’s famed Nürburgring Nordschleife and Korea’s Yeongam Formula 1 racing circuit.” The large variety of proving grounds offered by the northern Okanagan was much more appealing to me. And especially so in the car equipped with the 311 horsepower, 3.8-litre GDI V6 engine. Flipping between the Normal, Eco and Sport modes and tapping the gear-changing paddles on the steering wheel made for an enjoyable drive. Little lean in the corners and sprightly up hill. Both engines are coupled to an 8-speed automatic transmission with a SHIFTRONIC manual mode. The base price is $43,000, $48,000 gets you the Luxury version, and $53,000 loads up the tech features. If you want the V8, get ready to spend $62,000. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

QUESTION OF THE WEEK!

Safety Tip: If you’re taking a road trip this May long weekend, be realistic about travel times as highways will be busier. Plan rest stops every 1.5 to 2 hours to avoid becoming fatigued while driving and check drive.ca for road and weather conditions before setting out.
