No school today as rotating strikes begin Karl Yu and Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE

At an impasse with the B.C. government at the bargaining table, teachers in B.C. will begin rotating strikes, with NanaimoLadysmith district teachers set to picket today (Tuesday, May 27). Schools will be open, but there won’t be instruction and buses won’t run, Dave Hutchinson, school district CEO and superintendent, said in a letter to parents. He asked parents to keep children home for safety reasons. School will resume as usual on Wednesday (May 28). Mike Ball, president of the Nanaimo District Teachers’ Association, said the move

from the first stage of job action, which included limited supervision and no contact with administration, is due to a combination of factors. “The lack of progress at the table has triggered the escalation to Phase 2 but because their wage offer is significantly lower than our proposal and they’re not dealing with class size and composition at all, that has caused a lack of progress, which has triggered the escalation,” Ball said. Peter Fassbender, B.C. Minister of Education, said the province has made “significant” concessions to move toward a settlement, reducing contract length from 10 to six years and offering a $1,200 signing bonus.

Teachers made concessions with their last proposal, according to Ball. He said teachers reduced their request for cost of living allowance and wage increase, while offering a four-year deal with the province. “It was a significant move from our last proposal,” Ball said. “It’s just a case of whether the government can move also.” Rotating strikes will occur at B.C. school districts until Thursday (May 29), and any further action will depend on progress at the negotiating table, said Ball. The third stage, a province-wide strike, would require another teachers’ union vote and there would have to be two working days’ notice to employers. The school district recommends check-

In brief Swashbuckling Captain Jack Sparrow Kang’s last service will be June 15

Min-Goo Kang, the minister at Ladysmith First United Church, will be ending his leadership of this congregation with the service Sunday, June 15. His wife, Ha Na Park, formerly Supply Minister at Chemainus United Church, was ordained into the United Church of Canada at a ceremony during the final day of the B.C. Conference of the United Church of Canada meeting in Nanaimo May 25. On Sunday, June 1 at 10:30 a.m., Min-Goo Kang and Ha Na Park will share in leading the service at Ladysmith First United Church. They will preside over the Communion Service together, and Ha Na will preach the sermon. At 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, June 8, the Pentecost service will be a remembrance of the event when the Apostles and friends received the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues that were understood by all the people and the foreigners listening. The service on Sunday, June 15 will be in the Amphitheatre at Transfer Beach at 10:30 a.m. This will be a joyful celebration of the gifts Min-Goo Kang has shared with the congregation during the four years he has been their minister. In the case of rain, the service on June 15 will be at the church. Friends and visitors of Min-Goo and Ha Na and the congregation are welcome at all services. Min-Goo Kang and Ha Na Park and their boys will take a travelling vacation to Winnipeg, where Ha Na has been called to a team ministry position at a church. —Caroline H. Davidson

The Ladysmith Maritime Society (LMS) will host its Kids’ Pirate Day this Saturday (May 31), with all local families and friends encouraged to come down to the society’s docks for a few hours of pirating fun. Activities will get underway at 10 a.m. and run until 4 p.m. at LMS Community Marina, with Captain Jack Sparrow from the famous Pirates of the Caribbean movies returning once again. “Everybody dresses up as pirates and it’s a totally free day,” said Cliff Fisher from the Ladysmith Maritime Society. “The kids all come down to the docks with their fishing rods and their buckets for the derby that the Kinsmen Club helps us with. We’ll have a pirate slide, face painting, crafts and a petting zoo, as well as free harbour tours where we’ll take people out. There will also be displays at the welcome centre, and the Purple Martin Society will be teaching crafts to the kids.” Refreshments will also be available on site at the docks.

Oceanview Community Church ‘s community grew to become international earlier this month when the church hosted a softball team from Georgia, and they worked on a variety of service projects together. From May 14-19, nine members of the Covenant Christian College women’s softball team and their coach, Sara Russell, lived, worked and played in Ladysmith during a week filled with everything from helping seniors with their yard work, canoeing and a softball game.

Get on the Big Bike June 2 The annual Big Bike event is taking place in Ladysmith again this June, as a variety of teams look to raise funds for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. The bike is Canada’s only one that has a whopping 30 seats on it, and various teams will get together and ride the bike along a two-kilometre route beginning at Aggie Hall Monday, June 2. So far, six teams from Ladysmith have registered to take on the bike challenge, and Paul Mycroft is organizing a team from the Ladysmith Downtown Business Association (LDBA) called The Outrageous Crusaders. “The goal is to raise as much funds as we can for the Heart and Stroke Foundation, and each rider has to raise a minimum of $50,” he said. “The heart is the key to everything, so it’s an im-

portant cause.” Mycroft will lead his team into the challenge with at least 15 riders. “I do it because my mom passed away 12 years ago from a heart attack and we think she has high cholesterol that was not checked, so I do it in honour of her really,” he said. “It’s a really great time and a half hour to an hour of fun. You really feel part of the community, and it’s great to raise money for a really good cause.” Mycroft also says the event is excellent for team bonding and improving relationships within different organizations around town. “Our strength at the LDBA is that we are all familiar with and all like each other,” he said. “But we are all business owners and there isn’t a regular opportunity for us all to get together. This is a great exercise and gets us all together doing something that isn’t

business-related. We all have a really good laugh.” As well as Mycroft’s team, another five teams have registered from Ladysmith, including a group from 49th Parallel Grocery, the Town of Ladysmith, Curves, Royal Bank of Canada, and Royal LePage. Last year, Ladysmith’s Big Bike raised more than $6,800, and Ladysmith has raised well over $120,000 since the Big Bike’s community debut back in 2001. “This fun, team-building event is a great opportunity to increase employee morale and your organization’s visibility in the community and all for a good cause” Jami Christie, special events co-ordinator of the Vancouver Island area office of the Heart and Stroke Foundation, said in a press release. “Events like Big Bike allow the Foundation to continue funding world-

Crossing the highway at Davis Road on foot is always a concern

www.chemainuschronicle.com

“Everybody dresses up as pirates, and it’s a totally free day.” Cliff Fisher, Page 3

Editor: As all moms who are currently on mat leave, I love taking my little one out for a walk. Not only does it help my baby sleep, but it’s great to get out of the house and enjoy the beautiful island that we live on. Unfortunately, for me to go into town, I need to cross the highway from Chemainus Road at the Davis Road intersection near Coronation Mall. Whenever I cross at this intersection, I am always overly caution because highway vehicles are moving at 90 km/hr, the left turning light is at the same time as the pedestrian light (which is very short), and the pedestrian crossing in the merge lane adjacent to the mall has a blindspot. I am writing to the editor because the other day while crossing, a driver turning left from Davis Road onto the highway almost hit my little one and me. Now, I cross with a neon safety jacket draped over my stroller, but this intersection is unsafe. I don’t think being forced to avoid this intersection as a pedestrian is the reasonable solution because if it’s not me, it’s someone else, especially with the Cowichan Valley Trail (part of the TransCanada Trail) connecting through that intersection. The answer is to have a 15- to 20-second head start for pedestrians where cars on all sides wait. The answer is to put 70 km/hr speed signs on the highway around both sides of this intersection as the other Ladysmith highway crossings do. And the answer is to move the pedestrian crossing in the merge lane on the Coronation Mall side so there are no blind spots. Katie and Moses Heffring Ladysmith

Are our public schools racist? BC Views

by Tom Fletcher

ast week’s column on the proposal to add a mandatory high school course on the effects of Canada’s aboriginal residential school policy attracted a range of responses — some of which are printable. I referred to comments made by B.C. Teachers’ Federation vice-president Glen Hansman at a 2012 aboriginal education conference, where he insisted that “racism is the norm in public schools — still today” because of a colonial perspective that remains ingrained in our culture. Aboriginal education has been built into social studies curriculum for years. It’s come a long way from my high school days, where Mr. Spillers, my Grade 8 English teacher, assigned us an essay proposing solutions to Canada’s “Indian problem.” That was 1972, and it was the only time the subject came up. My lone aboriginal classmate wasn’t around by then. I never saw him again

after we graduated from our rural elementary school. How are things now? I received a thoughtful letter from a young woman who graduated from high school in the Okanagan last year. She writes: “The idea that information about residential schools is not presented to students is entirely incorrect. The social studies curriculum that I went through included a large emphasis on First Nations culture and post-European colonization history. “First Nations studies began in elementary school and continued to the last mandatory social studies course in Grade 11. I can say with no hesitation that if anything, I have been informed too often about the residential schools, and the horrendous things that occurred there. “If aboriginal culture courses are poorly attended, I would be inclined to suggest that it is because students are tired of being taught the same limited perspective over and over, and, if of European descent, being made to feel somehow

ple), and there were times when aboriginal people showed great agency (retaining the masked dance, and continuing to fish salmon, for example). “Knowing that native society was not a Utopia when Europeans arrived does not take away from the importance of learning about the full history of aboriginal people and their relationship with Canadian society. “And of course, as Ernie Crey has reminded me many times, let’s never forget that native rights are not based on race. Rather, they are rights based on prior occupation. And let’s also not forget that it is British and Canadian law that recognizes aboriginal peoples’ inherent rights. “Let’s teach good history to our youth so they can understand the complex relationship between settler society and aboriginal society. Through knowledge comes understanding and through understanding can come reconciliation.” Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press.

The Ladysmith Chamber of Commerce has moved to a new location. The Visitor Information Centre opened at the Chamber’s new base on 33 Roberts St. this past Friday (May 23). The move sees the Chamber depart from the old, nearby site at 411B First Ave. “There’s lots of reasons for the move, but the primary one is space,” said Chamber manager Mark Drysdale this past Friday. Drysdale was onhand at the new location Friday, alongside newly-elected president Aaron Stone, as the moving process continued. “The additional space provides us with a lot more advantages,” said Drysdale. “This place is twice as big. We are developing a new business centre into the offices out the back, and that will give business owners or whoever the chance to meet with clients in the extra space. We save a little bit of money on rent, and that was factored into the decision as well.” Stone believes the new business centre will be a valuable asset. “It will be a good resource centre for opening business in town,” said the president, who also believes the new location has greater accessibility and better parking for

Ladysmith police report for May Ladysmith RCMP news May 2 to May 23 Provided by Ladysmith RCMP

Friday, May 2 • On May 2, May 10 and May 23, the SharKare store and the 49th Parallel Garden Centre located along First Avenue were targeted by thieve(s) who stole numerous hanging baskets and other potted plants and shrubs of many varieties. The total value of these thefts is in the multiple thousands of dollars and without a doubt is hurting their ability to remain in business. On Sunday, May 25 at approximately 2:50 am., a female was found in possession of property that belongs to the 49th Parallel store, and she was later released with a Promise To Appear. A criminal charge of possession of stolen property is being recommended. The Ladysmith RCMP is taking this matter very seriously and seeking public assistance in the resolution of this problem. Sunday, May 18 • On May 18, a green compact vehicle, which was left parked at a campsite near Timberlands Road, was vandalized, with its tires slashed and expensive stereo equipment stolen. This incident happened during the May long weekend, with plenty of campers in the area. Tuesday, May 20 • On May 20 at 11:35 a.m. at Coronation

Mall, police were called to a disturbance where a female was suspected of shoplifting from the Rexall drug store and then threatening a male with a needle outside. The female was seen leaving the area in a white van heading south on the highway towards Duncan. Upon police arrival, the male victim had not stayed and had left the scene. A witness was able to collect the licence plate number of the vehicle involved, and police were able to locate the female suspect and question her. Police are now interested in talking to the unidentified male involved about this incident for potential criminal charges being pursued. Wednesday, May 21 • During the early morning hours of May 21, the Home Hardware store on Ludlow Road was a target of someone who stole 11 25-pound propane tanks from a locked storage cabinet that had its lock cut. The propane tanks have the Exchange Guy’s logo on the surface. *** As we all know, the Town of Ladysmith is located alongside the Island Highway, which naturally creates an ease of access from several entrances along the way. It is also a smaller community situated between two larger centers. A number of these matters reported in this report are suspected by the Ladysmith RCMP to have been committed by persons not connected to this community. Should you be out

Our kids were probably the oldest.” When the meet began, all the timers followed Darth Vader out to the pool, and there was a lady wearing Princess Leia ears. “It was a hoot, lots of fun, and they had a barbecue after,” said Alsop. At the meet, sevenyear-old Aiden Jeffries finished first in the 25m breaststroke and the 25m butterfly and second in the 50m backstroke and the 50m freestyle. Cole Porter, who is eight, won all four
