RCMP makes several drug-related arrests in Ladysmith Staff Writer THE CHRONICLE

After working with various RCMP units over the past two months, the Ladysmith RCMP have arrested a number of people in town in connection with the sale of illicit drugs such as heroin and speed. Working in co-operation and concert with Island District General Investigations Sections and specialized RCMP members from E Division Vancouver, the RCMP Ladysmith Detachment has been conducting a two-month-long

investigation and operation focussing on the illicit drug trade in Ladysmith, Staff Sgt. David Herman explained in a press release Monday, June 23. The preliminary investigative and planning stages of this operation go back to the fall of 2013, according to Herman. This joint operation between various RCMP units focused primarily on the town of Ladysmith, and through this work, RCMP investigators purchased illicit drugs, including heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine (speed) and GHB (the “date rape drug”), from sus-

pected illicit drug dealers in the community, explained Herman. “The multiple purchases of illicit drugs were made from six separate adult offenders, all of whom were residing in the community of Ladysmith at the time,” he said. “A number of the illicit drug trafficking suspects have now been arrested and will be appearing in court at later dates. No names or addresses of interest are being released at this time. This investigation remains open and is active at this time. No other information is being released at his time.”

Keep your eyes peeled for Random Acts of Kindness Ross Armour the chronicle

Ladysmith council is set to explore the prospect of a Random Acts of Kindness project for the town. The idea was prompted by a delegation led by Ron Dale at the June 16 regular council meeting at City Hall. “I was a teacher and school administrator my whole life, and one of the schools I was at had a Random Acts of Kindness week and we all loved it,” Dale said at the meeting. “I’m asking for council’s support in hope of getting a Random Acts of Kindness project for our whole community. It’s a great place to live, but it could be better.” The project encourages people of the community to take upon acts of kindness to aid people in need, and that does not necessarily mean financial. Dale and compatriot Kim Judson showed a video to council showing various examples. One police officer allowed a girl with Down syndrome to join him for the day to allow that girl’s dream to come to true. Another scene showed a blind dog being guided by a specially trained guide dog. “If formalized, this could have big power in our town,” said Dale.

“A random act of kindness is when you are aware of somebody’s needs and you do something for them. It doesn’t have to involve money, although it can, but it is the act that is more important.” Judson said “this isn’t something that’s foreign to Ladysmith, as we have lots of amazing people here.” Dale confirmed that if he was to get the support of council, he would then go about contacting the Chamber of Commerce, various schools and business owners of Ladysmith. “It’s not so much the person that’s receiving, it’s the person that’s giving which is the wonderful thing,” he said. “Even if you just buy someone a coffee who’s waiting behind you in the Tim Hortons line up, it’s a small gesture but it’s so powerful.” Judson suggested the idea of a forum on the Town’s website. “It would be great if we can get a place for people to comment and post stories, either anonymously or not, of their experiences,” she said. “Or we could proclaim a week to the project.” Coun. Steve Arnett said “we could do a proclamation for sure.” Mayor Rob Hutchins called the project “a beautiful idea” and said he will look into a proclamation for the Town in the near future.

Seventeen-year-old Arjan Manhas was chosen as Chemainus Secondary School’s valedictorian for 2014. He will be studying engineering at the University of Victoria this fall.

Manhas chosen as valedictorian Lindsay Chung

the chronicle

Back in October, when Arjan Manhas’ friends told him they thought someone should nominate him as Chemainus Secondary School (CSS) valedictorian, he thought it was a bit of a joke. The 17-year-old says he didn’t expect he would be valedictorian, but when members of the Class of 2014 put forward the names of students they’d like to represent them, Manhas was one of three chosen. Students then voted on their valedictorian, and they chose Manhas. “It was exciting,” he said. “It’s cool knowing your classmates think you can do the best job representing them.” Manhas admits it is also a bit nervewracking because he is just one person representing the whole class. His speech, given during the June 20 graduation ceremony, focused on the idea that he and his classmates made the most of their high school years, and they shouldn’t be too sad about leaving high school. It’s a big world out there, but they’re going to be OK. Manhas was born in Duncan and has lived in Chemainus his whole life. He describes some of his highlights of his high school years as prom, spending time with friends and family, a lot of road hockey games, going to the movies with his friends, and all the family get-togethers he’s had. While at CSS, Manhas played soc-

cer, volleyball and basketball and did track, and he also did track and karate outside of school, and he plays soccer and golfs regularly with his friends. Manhas’ favourite subjects in school are math and physics. “I really enjoyed English class when we got into creative stuff like poetry and writing stories,” he added. Manhas is interested in engineering, and he will be going to the University of Victoria this fall. He hopes to get a civil engineering degree. “I really enjoyed doing physics in school, so the idea of applying math in a practical means really appealed to me,” he said. “I was also a big fan of designing stuff through computers, so that’s also why engineering appealed to me.” Manhas really enjoyed his time at CSS. “It’s a small school, but it’s pretty great,” he said. “All the teachers are there to give you an extra hand if you need it, and they actually care about you. Because it’s a small school, you know everybody, and they are there for you. It’s easy to make friends, and everyone’s very accepting.” Manhas is thankful for everyone who worked so hard to make his last year of high school such a good one. “Thank you to all the parents for making this year pretty amazing,” he said. “They put a lot of work into making sure things go well. Prom was great, and I’m sure dry grad will be great as well, so I want to say a big thank you to them.”

“If formalized, this could have big power in our town.” Ron Dale, Page 4

Pastor Edgar Unrau Calvary Baptist Church, Chemainus

Do we really value people?

n recent months, there have been a number of events around the world that beg the question, does society really value people? In March, armed men attacked a boarding school in Yobe, Nigeria, and killed 29 boys. On April 14, in Chibok, Nigeria, some 200 girls were abducted. Families were told the girls would be sold into marriages and who knows what else. The world watched helplessly as government officials said they couldn’t find this crew of evil kidnappers. Unbelievable! Militaries around the world own highly sophisticated equipment, yet these outback machine gun-carrying men with their pickup trucks can’t be found. How much effort is put into finding these girls? Is it equal to the amount of resources poured into finding the downed Malaysian airliner with 239 people on board? Do we value people ... or just certain people? All people have value. Period. Why? Because someone greater than us created us in His image. Being an imagebearer of God makes us valuable. This is where human value begins and ends. If it doesn’t, we will come up with our own value system for treating people. This could be called a consumerist approach — we value a human based on what that person could add to my life. I’m reminded of the lyrics to a Metallica song ...“Who made you God to say I’ll take your life from you?” That is what society collectively is doing with its value system, isn’t it? We save the ones that we find have some value, be it economic or media-based or the way the story touches our lives. We work hard to find the plane because we all fly, but we don’t search too hard for these girls. We pick and choose. The Bible proclaims an unchanging truth: People are of equal value because they are created in God’s image. Those young Nigerian girls are to be treasured as much as our own children.

There are other options for protecting our water supply Editor: Re: Couverdon land annexation and watershed lands

Question of the Week

Do you care about the World Cup? Vote online at www.ladysmithchronicle.com.

The Town Council wants to own the Holland Creek Watershed to protect our water supply. Protection of water quality and quantity is an excellent objective. They are commended for their concern and intent. But they are so focused on this objective, they are not able to see other ways to achieve this end. There are other ways that are not so costly and risky. Home owners know that that there are significant ongoing costs and responsibilities that go along with ownership. It will be the taxpayers of Ladysmith

that pick up future costs for the care and management of lands acquired as part of the Couverdon deal. These costs have not been documented. Residents need to know what future burden they will be taking on. It is a simple part of rational decision making. So let’s look at another option: managed forest land. I believe that water quality and quantity can be maintained in a manner compatible with forestry. Our current forest practices are the problem. Forest road construction can be a huge issue but when done to the appropriate standards can be built and used without adding sediment to our streams, or changing the timing and quantity of flow. Forest practices such as: selective cutting, small block cutting, retention of areas around wetlands and for habitat, appropriate stream buffers, recognition

land Creek system. The irony: it defeats the goal of protecting the watershed in the first place. Council, I encourage you to look at other ways of achieving the objective. As said before, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. The Town may yet decide to proceed to a referendum. If you are interested in the impacts of this proposed development on our community, you can follow developments or post your thoughts on the Facebook page Couverdon Watch. Look back at the many posts (started in late April) that document the failings of the Couverdon proposal. If you are concerned with this proposal and would like to get involved to help defeat a referendum, let us know at couverdonwatch@ outlook.com. Greg Roberts Ladysmith

and accommodation of other uses, replanting, thinning, etc., all help to maintain water quality and quantity. So rather than simply focusing on ownership with its high and uncertain future costs, why not look at partnering with TimberWest, First Nations, and the Province for more effective planning and operations within the watershed to meet these goals. This seems like a much more effective and costefficient approach rather than acquiring land in exchange for the rights given to Couverdon to develop 700 acres of forest land for residential development. The Couverdon and Town proposal creates an ironic situation. The Couverdon development will significantly change 700 acres of watershed to residential use (not our drinking water but a watershed nevertheless) and will likely take water demand beyond the capacity of the Hol-

year, which co-ordinator Valerie Duckworth believes is a first. “There isn’t usually one in June, but because the Sunday is towards the end of the month, we thought we’d try one,” she said. The lineup this summer features everything from blues and folk to jazz and indie. “We’re trying to mix it up and appeal to all ages,” said Duckworth. This year, concert-goers will have an added option for dining at the amphitheatre because the new LYCart BBQ & Grill will be selling hot dogs and other items right by the amphitheatre. Admission to the Concerts in the Park is by donation, and the money raised is put into LRCA programming so that the association can offer programs in the community at no cost to participants. “We’re hoping for good weather, big crowds and donations,” said Duckworth. “The thing about Ladysmith that’s so amazing is people are so supportive. It’s a fabulous community with great community support.” Duckworth believes Concerts in the Park has become an important part of people’s summers. “I would certainly say that a lot of people plan their Sundays around bringing a picnic lunch or purchasing something at the snack bar and coming down,” she said. “I definitely think it’s becoming part of people’s summer and certainly part of their Sunday.” Duckworth says they are always looking for volunteers to help with Concerts in the Park, and she is looking for someone to take over her volunteer job as co-ordinator. Anyone who is interested in volunteering can contact the LRCA at 250-2453079 or Duckworth at jackval@ shaw.ca. All concerts take place Sundays at the Transfer Beach Amphitheatre from 6-8 p.m., weather permitting. For more information, visit www.concertsinthepark.ca or www.transferbeach.ca.

The award is given to the Rotarian that members think is basically the club’s most valuable player and devotes a lot of time and effort to Rotary, explained Paul Williams, who presented the award. Leukefeld was voted Rotarian of the Year by her fellow Rotarians. “I honestly didn’t expect this,” she said. “I really love Rotary, and I do it because I love it. Thank you very, very much. I’m very, very honoured.” Leukefeld presented a Club President plaque to Spence on behalf of the club. Leukefeld recalled that she became involved with Rotary after Nita Grant invited her to a meeting two years after she and her husband George had moved to Ladysmith. “Rotary allows us to help locally and/or internationally in any way we can, either

monetarily or with service,” she said. “Service is an intrinsic part of being a Rotarian; it is the makeup of all Rotarians. If you are a Rotarian, that is what you are most interested in doing; we all enjoy seeing each week people that have the same values and goals that we do. I have met the most interesting people in Ladysmith from all walks of life, and they have become my friends. Like most small communities, unless you’ve lived here for 25 years, you’re considered an outsider. By you accepting me as your president, I feel as if I truly belong to both Ladysmith now and the Rotary Club of Ladysmith.” Leukefeld told club members that Gary Huang, the Rotary International president of 2014-15, has named his year “Light Up Rotary,” and she was very inspired by hearing him speak in February. “As a club, we all must work together to achieve our common goals,” she said. “We may be a small club, but we are able to achieve great things when we all work together, and you all know how many projects we’ve done in the community. It’s amazing what the Ladysmith Rotarians can achieve. I am so very pleased to be the fifth woman president of the Rotary Club of Ladysmith. Thank you for this wonderful honour. I am looking forward to a year of growth and much success, working with all of you.”

Happy Canada Day! As we celebrate Canada’s birthday Tuesday, July 1, the whole family can find fun activities in Chemainus and Ladysmith. In Chemainus, Canada Day festivities take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Waterwheel Park. Admission is free. Presented by the Chemainus BIA, the Chemainus Valley Museum and the Chemainus Valley Cultural Arts Society, Canada Day in Chemainus features pony rides, a petting zoo, a bouncy castle, games, crafts, music by Oh! Ogopogo and Bopoma Marimba, hot dogs, hamburgers, drinks for sale, and free Canada Day cake. At noon, Reed Elley will lead everyone in singing “O Canada,” and cake will be served. During the day, the Chemainus Valley Museum will hold a garage sale and a raffle. There’s more free

family fun in Ladysmith, where the Town of Ladysmith is hosting a Canada Day celebration from 1-5 p.m. at Transfer Beach. The big change for this year is that all of the activities and music will take place in the park area in front of the beach. At 1 p.m., there will be welcoming ceremonies from the Stz’uminus First Nation and the Town of Ladysmith, as well as a giant cake. The Adventure Zone Summer Daycamp leaders will lead fun activities at the park, and lifeguards will be on duty at the beach. As well, there will be live music by Oliver Swain, Myc Sharratt, Milad Kassiri, Cameron Gunn, Sarah Sorgiovanni, and Steph Humphreys. Because Canada Day falls on a Tuesday, the farmers’ market will be going on from 2-6 p.m. — Staff Writer

National Aboriginal Day celebrations

1-855-310-3535

There were plenty of smiles all around, as the Stz’uminus Health Centre team hosted National Aboriginal Day activities June 21 at the Stz’uminus Community Centre. The day featured songs and prayers by the Stz’uminus and the Tzinquaw Dancers, the traditional guessing game Sla-hal or Bone Game, nature walks, canoe building demonstrations, lunch, a bouncy castle and slide and face painting. Health director Melissa Daniels says the event was all about sharing Stz’uminus culture and being proud to be First Nations people. “It’s a day to share our culture and bring awareness to our neighbours,” she said. About 150 people took part in the activities. Daniels says they had a lot of help from Stz’uminus Health Centre staff and from many volunteers, and she thanks their sponsors, the Nautsumawt Tribal Council, Canada Heritage, and the Town of Ladysmith

Sayer Roberts (Marius), Michelle Bardach (Eponine) and Vanessa Croome (Cosette) rehearse for the Chemainus Theatre Festival’s production of Les Misérables, which opened Friday, June 20. The musical runs until Sept. 7. CIM MACDONALD

Review: Les Misérables is magnificent Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE

Passion and power. Rage and redemption. Love and loss. These are elements of a great story, and they are elements that really come through in Les Misérables, the award-winning musical based on Victor Hugo’s novel. They’re what make this story so enthralling, and the emotions that draw you into this incredible story are on full display when the musical is performed in the intimate and beautiful Chemainus Theatre Festival. The Chemainus Theatre Festival debut of Les Misérables, the musical by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg, opened Friday, June 20, and it was an incredible show from the very beginning right to the end. The theatre was transformed into dark and grimy Paris in the 1800s, as we were swept away in a tale of suffering, sacrifice, survival and spirit. The audience is so close to the action that they can see the emotion in the actors’ faces, and the 18-member cast makes a compelling story even more powerful. I’ve never

production to Vancouver Island, and I think they should be just as happy and proud now that it’s running. This is the best production I’ve seen here. If you love a good story and you love good music, you’ll want to see Les Misérables at the Chemainus Theatre Festival while it’s here. The production runs until Sept. 7, and there is an opportunity to ask the cast and crew questions during a talkback session after Wednesday performances.

Ladysmith 10% Shift

Sports

Highlanders still undefeated

www.tenpercentshift.ca

Mike Rankin SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

The Pacific Coast Soccer League (PCSL) returned to Ladysmith June 21 and once again did not disappoint the 100 or so spectators who came out to Forrest Field to see some high-calibre soccer. Saturday afternoon saw the “Battle of the Highlanders” between the Mid-Isle and Victoria franchises — the second time these teams have met this season after a 4-4 draw to start their respective campaigns. On Saturday, it was the Victoria squad that jumped out to an early lead, scoring two goals in the first 10 minutes of the game. But the Mid-Isle team came roaring back to life, with hard-earned goals from Renan Rebelatto and Ben Robson evening the score before the half. In the second half, the Mid-Isle side turned up the heat and maintained good possession, which was rewarded with a free kick after a defensive foul just outside Victoria’s 18-yard box. Midfielder Dan Cato stepped up and casually deposited the ball in the top corner of the Victoria goal to take the lead for Mid-Isle. Then, with 10 minutes left in the match, Ashton Ngyuen went on a strong run down the right flank and served a perfect pass to Paddy Grieg, who slotted the ball home to seal the victory, 4-2 for Mid-Isle. “I thought it was great for our team to come back after being down two goals, but it was also very impressive that they did it without league-leading goal-scorer Blaze Roberts and three of our other regular starters,” said coach Bill Merriman. “The depth in this team is something that could definitely help us as we go into the second half of the season.” The Highlanders have not lost this season, posting five wins and a draw in their first six games to take a commanding lead in the PCSL Reserve Men’s League. The PCSL returns to Ladysmith July 5 when the Highlanders take on Kelowna United at 4:30 p.m. at Forrest Field.

THE CHRONICLE

The Ladysmith Bantam “A” Cannons were in fine form at Holland Creek Park on June 12 when Mitch Doherty threw a no-hitter in a mercy versus Duncan during playoffs. Doherty, who had only surrendered one hit in his last three outings, had batters confused the entire game, according to coach Mike Morgan. “You could see early in the game that Mitch and our catcher, Dion, had something special,” Morgan said in an e-mail. “It was the grinning back and forth that told me they knew they had batters fooled.” Doherty allowed only two base runners, one

• Thank you to Barb Martin, who shared these great photos of Orcas with us! She spotted the Orcas in the Ladysmith Harbour early in the morning on June 18. • It’s Legion Week this week, and the Royal Canadian Legion in Ladysmith and Chemainus have planned events to honour veterans and open their doors to the community. In Ladysmith, Branch 171 is holding a free barbecue for the community Saturday, June 28 from noon to 4 p.m. on the deck. The Ladysmith Singers will be performing at 2 p.m., and there will be free hot dogs and hamburgers. This will be a great chance to learn about the Legion and find out about memberships. Legion Week is a chance to celebrate Legions and all they give back to the community and to open the doors and remind people that they don’t have to be part of the military to join the Legion, said Branch 171 secretary Diane West. Branch 171 is currently recruiting members for its band, and the branch can always use more volunteers, she noted.
