Ladysmith jeweller off to the Emmys Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE

Some of television’s biggest stars will be learning about unique hand-crafted jewelry made right here in Ladysmith during this weekend’s 41st annual Daytime Emmy Awards celebrations. Jada Bohmer, who creates personalized hand-stamped jewelry in her Ladysmith home, will be at the Emmys in Los Angeles to share her creations with movers and shakers in the television industry. Bohmer received an e-mail from the company that puts together the gift bags for the Daytime Emmys each year. They said their researchers had found her 3 Little Gems jewelry online and thought it was unique, and they asked if she would be interested in having 3 Little Gems pieces included in the gift bags for the 2014 Daytime Emmy Awards. Bohmer will be at the Emmys on Sunday, June 22 in person, as she’s been invited to spend two days in the Gifting Lounge, where she’ll have a table and be able to show her jewelry to 250 people. “It’s very exciting,” she said. Bohmer had to have 1,100 pieces for the Emmy gift bags, and she decided that instead of sending anything generic, she would send metal gift cards, and then the guests can go to her website and customize a piece of jewelry just for them. Bohmer is bringing a friend who is a professional photographer and lives in Los Angeles to the Emmys with her, and she’ll be documentThree-year-old Evalynne Knowles shows off the fish she caught during B.C.

“a little surreal.” “I’d say never would I think this, but that’s not true,” she said. “I’ve always dreamt of big things for this business — I’ve always kept that image in my head because I’m a big believer in the law of attraction. Bohmer feels this experience is a great reminder that anything is possible. “I’m just a little town girl working from her dining room, working with her friend, and I’m going to the Emmys,” she said. “Dream big — they can come true.” Bohmer’s jewelry line consists of hand-stamped personalized pieces, such as necklaces, bracelets, rings, ornaments, key chains and cremation urn memorial pendants featuring inspirational quotes and important names and dates. “I try to create unique designs, pieces that are funky, one-of-akind creations and try to make them interesting and beautiful,” she said. “I work very closely with the customers to create something for them, which is my favourite part. If someone can think of something they want, most likely, I can make it.” Bohmer’s company will be three years old this August Bohmer has three children, and when she started her business, her youngest was one and half, and she was working in her husband’s plumbing company, doing his books and hating it. One day, she found an old industrial stamp set in the shop. “It literally fell on me,” she laughed. Bohmer began stamping industrial washers.

News In brief Zoning update is moving along

Chronicle

Echo Heights will be mostly parkland

Most of Chemainus’ Echo Heights forest officially became parkland June 4. North Cowichan Mayor Jon Lefebure says council ended some eight years of tense debate by passing fourth and final readings of a bylaw to preserve 90 per cent of the 52-acre publiclyowned forest as parkland. “The remaining property is zoned residential (R2), and was logged two decades ago,” his release reads. “It will be subdivided into an estimated 17 singlefamily residential lots, and will be sold to fund community-amenity projects.” Council abandoned an earlier bylaw which would have seen 20 per cent of Echo Heights developed for a variety of single- and multifamily residential uses. “In addition to dedicating the land as park, the adopted bylaw goes further and specifically requires any development or improvement of the park must be directed toward the preservation of the atmosphere, environment, and ecology of the park for public enjoyment,” notes Lefebure. — Peter Rusland

Co-op collects In June, change from the coin boxes at Mid Island Co-op’s Gas Stations are giving a boost to United Way’s efforts to help vulnerable children, youth, adults and seniors in Ladysmith and Chemainus. The money from coin boxes at Mid Island Co-op locations will be donated to United Way Central and Northern Vancouver Island to be invested back into effective programs in our community.

Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE

Wind turbines, produce stands, coach houses and drive-thrus are just some of the many items you’ll find in the Town’s updated Zoning Bylaw. The Town of Ladysmith has been working on updating its Zoning Bylaw since October 2012. Throughout the process, the Town has considered how to implement the Official Community Plan (OCP) and Sustainability Strategy into the Zoning Bylaw, as well as creating one Zoning Bylaw for the Town. The draft Zoning Bylaw was presented to council and the public in late May, and Town staff will now revisit the ideas, concerns and proposals brought forward by council and the public. The bylaw will then go to council for first and second reading and then a public hearing. The draft updated Zoning Bylaw permits a broad range of uses in the downtown area and provides a new downtown live/work residential option. It also permits coach houses in and around the downtown. There are enhanced commercial and industrial job zones, as well as new zones for shellfish harvesting, agriculture and forestry, and zones for cultural facilities. If the new Zoning Bylaw is adopted, urban agriculture would be allowed on

residential lots, with small produce stands permitted. Produce stands would be limited to a maximum size of 10 square metres. Coun. Duck Paterson was concerned that people would be able to sell animal products such as hamburger, which could smell and attract flies. He said that while he thinks produce stands are great and help promote buying and selling locally, he was worried about the possibility of importing farm products. “You can only sell from a produce stand what you can grow on that property,” explained Felicity Adams, the Town’s director of development services. “Farm use is not allowed on residential land.” The new Zoning Bylaw adds regulations for energy devices such as solar, wind, geothermal and heat pump energy. Paterson wondered if the Town had looked at the possibility of wind energy device on municipal lands, such as parks, as he thought the opportunity could present itself that the Town might be able to consider wind turbines in areas such as Aggie Field or Forrest Field. When wind energy was brought up, a couple of people in the audience cautioned that wind turbines are very noisy. Regulations for coach houses would limit them to 60 square metres in size, five metres in height for a

They would be permitted in the R-2, R-2-A, R-2-LW and RU-1 zones, and there would be siting regulations, with the character of the coach house managed through the Development Permit process. Coun. Jill Dashwood hopes to see the Town consider increasing the coach house limit to 90 square metres, like Nanaimo. “I feel by limiting ourselves to 60 square metres when Nanaimo does 90 square metres, we might be limiting ourselves to being approached by a lot of people for variances,” she said.

Bear carcasses found on South Watts Road Ross Armour THE CHRONICLE

Two bear carcasses have been found along South Watts Road in Ladysmith. George Fredrickson was the man to make the gruesome discovery June 10 whilst out on a regular night walk with his dog. “I found them at the end of South Watts Road close to the Stocking Creek Bridge,” he said. “I was out for a walk with my dog and doing

the loop that I do every night, and when I was walking along the road, I saw vultures and eagles up ahead. I was thinking there was something dead up there. It’s a sad commentary of human nature and very distasteful.” Fredrickson said he believes the bears were shot somewhere else and then dumped in the area. “It’s a popular hike area for the people that live in the trailer park,” he said. “There’s an ongoing problem down here with dumping and

other things, and nobody seems to do anything about it.” Fredrickson said that bear sightings have been a rarity so far this year. “I haven’t seen any bears this year; all I’ve seen is one track on the trail that I walk with my dog. You usually see a lot more by now.” Conservation officer Stuart Bates confirmed that the bears were legally hunted. “All the meat was removed and it was in bear season (which ended

Sunday June 15),” he said. “We do prefer that they return the parts to the forest rather than leave them there in case it attracts other bears.” Bates said the fact that the paws were still with the carcasses is a good indication of legality. “Poachers want the paws and they removed the hide as well. I have no idea who dumped them there,” he said. “There is a $345 charge we can do if they are dumped near residential areas or heavily travelled trails, but this was on an old logging road.”

With our hamburger and hot dog barbecue, we’ll be serving halfcobs of corn.” Breakfast begins at 8 a.m., while the hamburger/hot dog barbecue starts at 11 a.m. Proceeds from food sales go right back into the community. “We really like to focus on youth, so youth sports and education,” Bellamy said when asked if the money raised is being directed to anything specific. The parade begins at 11 a.m. It will begin at Willow and Victoria streets and follow Willow to Oak, Oak to Esplanade and Esplanade to Kin Park. “We’re looking forward to a great parade as usual,” said Bellamy. There will be musical entertainment all day, starting with the McCandless Family Band at 8 a.m. Elfsong performs at 10 a.m., followed by Shag Harbour at noon and the Cowichan Valley Community Band at 2 p.m. Children’s activities take place form 11:45 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. There will be a Vancouver Island Regional Library reading tent where children can read a book with the librarian and take a book home, and Island Savings Credit Union and 49th Parallel will both have activity tents set up. “Chemainus Rotary uses Summer Fest as a way of giving back to the community,” said Bellamy. “It’s a community-building event, and we invite people of all ages to come out and have a good time with us.” — Lindsay Chung

Opinion

Letter and its publication was alarming and a sign we don’t learn from our mistakes

YOUR WORDS

“Chemainus Rotary uses Summer Fest as a way of giving back to the community.” Shannon Bellamy, Page 4

Editor: Re: Michael Smith letter in the June 10 Chronicle I am writing out of shock and alarm that a letter that is so obviously misinformed was seen fit to be printed. I am interpreting that the letter regarding the Stz’uminus people suggests that recognizing Indigenous people’s rights somehow takes away from all other Canadians. This myth is tired and offensive. Sadly, it is a well-known Canadian story that perpetuates the “idea” that by honouring agreements made with Indigenous people, the Canadian government is giving “special treatment” to Indigenous people. Really? Is this how we want the world to understand Canada? As exploiters and takers? We sure have a short memory of history, and this letter reveals that we have learned nothing, and that what we burp out as opinions is unsubstantiated and uninformed rhetoric. Almost as alarming as this, is that the Ladysmith Chronicle has chosen to publish this. Did we learn nothing from the recent debacle with Nanaimo Daily News? This letter is in line with same letters that triggered a national reaction. Publishing this letter here without a caveat warning that the content is provocative and offensive, is a clear sign that we don’t learn from our mistakes. This is so disappointing to me as a Canadian and as one who is working hard to face the truth about our history. Laurie Harding Ladysmith

We should stand with and applaud the Stz’uminus First Nation Editor: Denial of aboriginal title and rights, as Michael Smith advocates in his recent letter to the editor, rests on foundation of racism and intolerance that leaves no room for reconciliation of un-extinguished indigenous land rights and the exercise of indigenous self-determination. Dubiously declaring oneself not a racist does not excuse a position that perpetuates inequality and injustice in our community. As I teach my undergraduate students at UVic, this tired tirade is familiar from public debates of 25 years ago, inflamed by ideologues like Tom Flanagan, and taken up by Canadians who remain fundamentally ignorant of the ongoing legacies of our colonial history. Now widely recognized as morally reprehensible and based on a deeply flawed understanding of basic principles in Canadian common law, such arguments should be water long under the bridge. However the voices of trolls living under those bridges still pop up, as we have read here and in similarly abhorrent letters published by the Nanaimo Daily News last year. What letters like these do, however, is raise the possibility of conversation

about the recognition of aboriginal title and rights, hopefully offering a departure point for genuine dialogue between neighbours -— aboriginal and settler -— who are all here to stay. Smith himself says that the “first order of business is to affirm just what are the public lands and waterways.” The Stz’uminus First Nation has unextinguished aboriginal title and rights throughout their territories. No historic treaty was ever signed here; therefore the substantial legal consequence of indigenous property, usufructuary and governance rights continues to be in full force and effect throughout the “public lands and waterways” in Stz’uminus territories today. This fact cannot be wished away however inconvenient some may find it. Indeed, the Crown’s duty to consult and accommodate Stz’uminus First Nation on matters that impact their fishing rights was affirmed by the BC Court of Appeal back in the mid-1990s. While Stz’uminus has tried over the past 20 years to negotiate recognition and respect for these rights both in and out of the BC Treaty Process, substantive agreement has been elusive. The Crown’s legacy of denial continues to be felt in the current dispute over the impact of commercial and recreational fisheries on the exercise of Stz’uminus title and rights. As neighbours and friends, we should stand with the Stz’uminus First

Nation, insisting that governments engage respectfully and with honour. We should applaud Stz’uminus First Nation’s remarkable recent achievement in negotiating out of a full onethird of the oppressive Indian Act. We should congratulate Stz’uminus First Nation in the success they have had in envisioning and launching their new school facilities (and perhaps ask ourselves how it could be that SD68 served them so poorly that they needed to take their children away). We should continue working together to develop our mutual future economy and community. And most importantly, we should appreciate and acknowledge that the Ladysmith community has the honour and privilege to be located in the territory of Stz’uminus First Nation. When the editors of the Nanaimo Daily News published not one, but two, letters with the same repugnant tone as Smith’s feature letter in the Chronicle and Take 5 they were met with protests, and formal complaints to the BC Press Council. Community leaders in Nanaimo immediately responded, taking concrete measures to educate and inform, and to foster genuine conversation to take the place of specious sentiments founded in unchallenged ignorance. I hope our Ladysmith community takes the opportunity to have such a meaningful dialogue. Brian Thom Ladysmith

In right photo, employees Shelley Maasanen and Cherry Cruz invite customers to try the bean toss. During Camp Day, Tim Hortons owners donate 100 per cent of the proceeds from coffee sales to the Tim Hortons Children’s Foundation, which will send economically disadvantaged children to camp. There are six camps, and Milne says Tim Hortons is hoping to send 17,000 children across Canada to camp this year. Each year, two children from Ladysmith are able to experience camp thanks to Camp Day, and Shandley had that opportunity in 2010. He went to the Kananaskis camp and then spent two years in the youth leadership program. “It was quite the experience,” Shandley said of camp. “Everyone motivated you and was happy, and with every activity we did, there was always a new limit to push yourself to. It’s an amazing experience, and I’m happy I got to go.” As part of the youth leadership program, Shandley has been on a canoe trip and learned how to portage and make a fire, and he got to go on his first campout. This year, Camp Day raised $11.8 million across the system. Lindsay Chung

Good Neighbours recognized Ross Armour the chronicle

The Town of Ladysmith presented its Good Neighbour Awards for this past year June 2 at City Hall. Councillor, deputy mayor and chair for the night Steve Arnett introduced the recipients and presented the awards to the winners. “Back in 2006-07, council started to recognize people who go above and beyond helping out their neighbours,” said Arnett. “That goes for people who do anything from shoveling snow to helping out seniors. We’ve had over 150 nominations since then, and there are a lot of people in our community who always help out their neighbours.” This year’s recipients were: Lyle and Susan McChesney, nominated by Ryan and Cathleen McMahon; John and Debbie Baker, nominated by Cindy LaFleur; Ken Sutherland, nominated by Sue McMutrie; and

Birtwistle introduces Emerald Specks Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE

Lena Birtwistle has a new confidence these days — and to go with that, the Ladysmith singer-songwriter has a new album and a new musical name. Birtwistle is releasing her first album as Emerald Specks, called No Sound, this week. No Sound was actually recorded in 2012. “I tried to release it in 2013, but I wasn’t really ready, and then everything kind of came together this year, and I finally got it,” said Birtwistle. “Then the name came to me, Emerald Specks.” The album features two original songs by Birtwistle, two songs written by former Ladysmith resident Sid Johnson — who performed with Birtwistle as The Adamantines — and three covers: “Washing of the Water” by Peter Gabriel, “Do You Realize” by The Flaming Lips and “House Where Nobody Lives” by Tom Waits. “I got to work with really amazing artists, both musical and otherwise, throughout this process, and everyone was so fun to work with,” said Birtwistle. Birtwistle worked with Ladysmith photographer Sean Sherstone for the album’s cover. They took photos for the cover, which features more than one Birtwistle in different poses, inside Post Office Antique Mall. In 2012, Birtwistle was ready to record, but she didn’t have very many original songs. She had been working with Johnson for about four years by this point, and she sang lead on two of his songs, and she was singing the three cover songs. “I thought ‘seeing as these are the strongest

My creativity really opened up last year, so now I’m actually able to share all of this new stuff I’ve been creating and confidently release the album and material and not be as afraid of letting people see who I am.” Birtwistle is switching her Facebook page to Emerald Specks and has a new website at www.emeraldspecks. com and a new logo. To celebrate the release of No Sound, Birtwistle will be performing in Ladysmith and the area in late June and early July. She performs June 24 at the Dinghy Dock Pub on Protection Island with Ma Petite and Erika Wilson; June 27 at the new Duncan Garage Showroom; July 3 at the Longwood Brew Pub in Nanaimo; July 5 at In The Beantime Café in Ladysmith; July 11 at The Vault Café in Nanaimo and July 12 at Char’s Landing in Port Alberni. You can download No Sound through www. emeraldspecks.com, and Birtwistle has CDs

for $10. After June 18, the album will be on iTunes and in stores around Ladysmith.

It’s the biggest and most ambitious production in Chemainus Theatre Festival’s history. And it starts this week. Les Misérables, the award-winning musical based on the Victor Hugo novel by the same name, makes its Chemainus Theatre Festival debut Friday, June 20. It’s the first time the musical has been professionally produced on Vancouver Island, according to a press release from the theatre. Les Misérables takes place during the time of the Paris Uprising of 1832 and tells “an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemption — a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit,” as

the musical’s official website states. After serving a jail sentence for having stolen bread to feed a starving child, Jean Valjean finds himself at the mercy of The Bishop of Digne. After being given the chance to become an “honest man,” Valjean is discovered eight years later, having broken his parole and living under the assumed identity of Monsieur Madeleine, a wealthy factory owner and mayor of Montreuil-sur-Mer. Les Misérables brings together one of the Chemainus Theatre Festival’s largest casts, and the crew has crafted some of the most elaborate sets ever assembled for a Festival production, according to the theatre. Vancouver-based actress and singer Lauren Bowler plays Fantine. She grew up on Salt

Michelle Bardach, Sayer Roberts, Vanessa Croome, Kieran Martin Murphy and Jay Davis rehearse for the Chemainus Theatre Festival’s production of Les Misérables, opening June 20. CIM MACDONALD Spring Island, and this is her first production with the Chemainus Theatre Festival. One thing that drew Bowler to Les Misérables was the chance to work with director Peter Jorgenson. “I’ve been a really big fan of the productions he’s done in Vancouver, and having him involved already spoke to me of the quality,” she said. Bowler was also attracted to the challenge of performing

such a well-known musical. “There’s something wonderful about finding a way to tell a wellknown story with your own vision,” she said. Bowler says she was drawn not only to this musical but to Fantine, who is forced into prostitution so she can support her daughter, in particular. “Her story is so tragic, but it’s full of love,” she said. “It’s easy to say she’s a victim, but I don’t see that at all.

To go to the lengths she does shows tremendous strength and sense of self.” Bowler says she is enjoying working with the creative team for Les Misérables. She says working with Jorgenson is “amazing,” and she describes musical director Kevin Michael Cripps as “just phenomenal.” Cripps has re-orchestrated the show for piano and string quartet so that it won’t sound like any other production of Les Misérables, explained Bowler. “It will sound and look just beautiful,” she said. Bowler says that traditionally, Les Misérables features a much larger cast. With the smaller cast in Chemainus, the actors get a chance to build a very clear understanding of the story and of who the characters are, she explained. “I feel like we’re trying to make it more individual and a little more personal,” she said. “I think that creates a nice intimacy and connection that we have with each other.” Tickets for the June 20 to Sept. 7 performances are available at www.chemainustheatre.ca or by calling 1-800-565-7738. Anyone attending a Wednesday performance is invited to a complimentary “talk-back” with the cast and crew.

Little, Woodruff make a splash Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE

We’re only halfway through June, and it’s already been a month of highlights for Ladysmith Chemainus Orcas Swim Club members Pamela Little and Brielle Woodruff. Little found out she has qualified for the North American Indigenous Games July 2027 in Regina, Sask. You have to be the top three in Canada to apply for the North American Indigenous Games, and Little applied and qualified. “I’m really excited for it but nervous at the same time,” she said. “I’m excited because it’s the top three in Canada, and I’m one of those. I’m just nervous because there will be a lot of people there that I don’t know.” Little has been swimming for four years, and this will be her first time competing at this level.

WRIGHT, William Alexander (Addie) It is with great sadness that we have to announce the passing of Addie Wright on June 9th, 2014. Addie was born in Victoria, BC on July 13th, 1944. Predeceased by his mother Emily Wright on May 7th, 2014. Addie leaves behind his loving and devoted wife Susan, daughter Tina Warner, son-in-law Troy Warner, grandson and best friend Nicholas Warner, father Alex Wright, brother Terry Wright (Bonnie), sister Kelly Krymusa (David), Uncle Tom Williams (Shirley), uncle John Williams, aunt Ann Wright; nephews Terry Wright (Amanda) and their daughters Casey and Reagan, David Krymusa, Jamie Scott and his son Caleb; nieces Lisa Krymusa and her sons Gage and Hunter, Suzanne Scott (Mike) and their son Kydin; and many cousins and friends. Addie was a very positive, caring and fun loving person who had many adventures in life and lived his life to the fullest. In Addieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s younger years his interests were motorcycles, cars and his horses. He met Susan and wanted to marry her so he sold his horse to buy her a wedding ring. Addie and Susan were married June 25th, 1966 and they had 47 very happy years together. Addieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love of motorcycles and cars never left him, he also enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping, traveling and in his later years his quading trips with his buddies. Addie worked at the Chemainus Sawmill and retired in 2005. After his retirement, Addie had some very serious health complications but with the gift of life by a heart transplant Addie was with us for and extra 7 and a half years, for which the family are very grateful. Addie was a wonderful husband and father but most of all he was the best grandfather (Papa) that anyone could hope to have. Addie spent a lot of time with his grandson Nicholas teaching him many things and leaving wonderful memories to cherish. Addieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passing has left a huge void in the lives of his loved ones. We will miss you Addie, thanks for all the great memories. The Family would like to thank the doctors and nurses at St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hospital transplant unit. Dr. Swiggum, Andrea Petras and their wonderful staff. Dr. Archdekin, Dr. Morris, the doctors and staff of the Victoria Cancer Clinic. The wonderful and caring nurses and staff at the Chemainus Health Care unit Palliative Care and to our family and friends for all your support.

Despite their share of the limelight. All while this consumers’ minds, Subaru is a renowned brand. And it’s its electric power steering – a steering humble four-door sits on the sideline. renowned for its reliability and safety.
