Brits on the Beach!

Car enthusiasts descended on Transfer Beach Park Sunday, July 13 when the Central Island branch of the Old English Car Club of British Columbia hosted the Brits on the Beach all-British car show. Included in these photos are Ken Magnus of Qualicum Beach with his 1959 MGA Roadster (middle photo in the top row), and Jeannine and Dennis Ready of Cedar inside their 1963 XKE Type Jaguar, which they’ve owned since 1969 (far right photo in the bottom row). This year, a record 280 cars and motorcycles, including Triumphs, Rovers, MGs and Jaguars, were displayed in the park under bright, sunny skies. Photos by Lindsay Chung

Community a big part of historical book Patrick A. Dunae is grateful to all the people who shared their stories, photos and information Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE

The new book about the history of the Ladysmith and District Credit Union (LDCU) is very much a celebration of community, and community support played a huge role in its completion. Author Patrick A. Dunae says it was a challenge to put together Ladysmith: Our Community. Your Credit Union. A History, a book commemorating the LDCU’s 70th anniversary that came out in late April, because they didn’t have a lot of time to get the book done, but it was a wonderful project. The book was commissioned by LDCU CEO John de Leeuw. Dunae started working on it in October and needed to have the book finished by the end of February to allow for production and printing so that it was ready for the LDCU annual general meeting at the end of April. “This has to be one of the most enjoyable projects I’ve ever Historian, writer and consultant Patrick A.

connections through different generations,” he said, noting as an example that Lorna De Clark was the Ladysmith Princess in 1954, and then he found a photo of 2013 Ladysmith Ambassador Kristy De Clark, and he found out Kristy is Lorna’s niece. “It was a real pleasure and privilege to meet so many interesting people and to have them share their recollections of not only the Credit Union but of the community.” When LDCU wanted to write its history, John Hinde recommended Dunae because the tow were colleagues at Vancouver Island University, and Dunae had written a history of the Nanaimo Credit Union before, explained Dunae. “That was helpful because I knew which government records to look at,” said Dunae. de Leeuw and his assistant, Linda King, contacted Dunae at the end of September, they met, and de Leeuw commissioned Dunae to go ahead with the project. “[LDCU board of directors president] Brian Childs was also very helpful because he knew very many of the early members, like Rod Glen, and Brian was also a key player in the revitalizations in the 1980s,” said Dunae. “When I started this project, I had very little idea about the history of the credit union or Ladysmith, and I was delighted to find some major figures in B.C. history related to Ladysmith, like Sam Guthrie of the CCF (Co-operative Commonwealth Federation). Rod Glen, a native son of Ladysmith, was a giant in the international credit union movement, and not many people in Ladysmith seem to know that “There were all sorts of distinguished people associated with the Credit Union and the community, and it was a treat to learn all about them.” Copies of the book can be purchased at the LDCU for $20, and all proceeds from the sales are going to the Ladysmith Archives and the Ladysmith Museum.

Multiple cougar sightings in Ladysmith believed to be same cat Ross Armour THE CHRONICLE

There has been a fair number of cougar sightings in Ladysmith in the past few weeks, but so far there has been no harm done. Nevertheless, local conservation officer Stuart Bates is cautioning the public to be aware of the animals when using walking trails. He confirmed up to four cougar sightings in recent times. “There was one spotted at Transfer Beach on June 28, one spotted on the Holland Creek Trail, one above Hol-

land Creek (to name a few),” said Bates. Bates wants the public to continue re“We’ve had a couple of unconfirmed porting sightings as soon as possible. sightings as well where we don’t know “You have to report them to us ASAP,” whether it is a cougar or not, and that he said. “With this heat, it’s hard to track doesn’t really help us.

Airhorns are also good to have. If you are using any of the trails, people should be aware of them, but not fearful. So far, we’ve had a few sightings, but nothing extremely bad has happened that we know of.” If you see a cougar, call the Conservation Office at 1-877-952-7277 or the Town of Ladysmith Parks supervisor at 250-245-6448.

Airport increases parking Karl Yu the chronicle

Parking has been expanded at Nanaimo Airport to meet demand, according to Nanaimo Airport Commission president and CEO Mike Hooper. Hooper said the parking footprint has been increased at the airport with a gravel parking area, the latest of which was installed two months ago. “We’ve added additional parking this year for 50 cars, and as we go forward, we’re going to rotate through and add gravel parking areas and as our customer base increases, we’ll pave them and add more and we’ll sort of rotate through that way,” said Hooper. While there are no current plans,

the airport could add multi-level parking eventually, he said. “What we have is a long-term parking plan, and we’re working to ensure we meet our growing customers’ needs ... into the future, at some point, within the next several decades, we’d start to contemplate things like a multi-level environment,” said Hooper. The airport commission also announced that the Century Flight Club’s B.C. Discovery Tour landed at the Nanaimo Airport this past weekend. The conference began Saturday, July 12, with delegates from across Canada arriving via 100 private aircraft, and it runs until Thursday, July 17. Groups of 20 to 30 aircraft will take off each day of the conference for day tours, said Hooper.

Op-ED

Editor’s note: The op-ed page in any newspaper is a great place to start important conversations. Readers are free to express ideas, and others are free to disagree with those ideas without attacking anyone personally. By publishing a letter, the newspaper does not agree or disagree with the writer, but is providing an opportunity for discussion. The editor reserves the right to not print something for a variety of reasons, including defamation, blatantly incorrect statements, or covering ground that has already been written, but people are generally free to express their own opinion, and we hope that sharing those opinions generates meaningful discussions around many coffee tables. Here, Michael Smith responds to letters reacting to a letter he wrote, which appeared in the June 10 Chronicle. In their reactions to Smith’s original letter, both Laurie Harding and Brian Thom drew a parallel with Don Olsen’s infamous letter to the Nanaimo Daily News, but in his letter, Olsen claimed the history of First Nations people is “notable only for underachievement” and made remarks that directly criticized aboriginal people, which Smith did not do.

YOUR WORDS

“I’ve wanted to own the building since I was a teenager.” Kristina Stauffer, Page 4

Let us have this debate

Editor: I am shocked and alarmed that Laurie Harding found my letter shocking, alarming, and misinformed. Why is it that these people, when faced with an opinion they don’t share, question a newspaper’s decision to print it. Didn’t we fight a great war to defend freedom of speech? Similarly, Brian Thom chooses to dismiss an opinion he does not share as the “ voice of a troll living under a bridge.” The fact that many people disagree with some of the “ongoing legacies of our colonial history” does not mean we are ignorant, and certainly does not mean we are racist. I submit that there may be more “trolls” under the bridge than above it, and it may come as a surprise that many of us are well educated and well informed, even though we disagree with Harding and Thom. Let us have this debate without censorship, as that is the last resort of those who are afraid their views may not be defensible. Michael Smith Ladysmith

Move to Cowichan Valley already benefitting Shandel THE CHRONICLE

Songwriter and multiinstrumentalist Jonas Shandel recently made the move from Vancouver to Chemainus so that he can focus on writing songs, and he’ll formally introduce himself to his new neighbours this Sunday (July 20) when he performs with his band Headwater at Concerts in the Park. Headwater is described as a band that plays music that is freewheeling, fierce, sentimental and sexy — music that is “like listening to the West Coast of Canada in song” — and is considered one of the finest acoustic roots groups around. Shandel formed the band in 2003 with his childhood friend Matt Bryant. In the past two years, Headwater has gone through some transitions after Bryant left to pursue more music production. More recently, Shandel has been collaborating with a variety of accomplished musicians, such as violinist Raquel Rawn, who also contributes backup vocals. “I like having these excellent musicians I can call up,” he said. “It keeps things fresh and exciting.” Shandel started out playing drums, and just after high school, he played a lot of rock music. He played in a lot of what he calls “bad punk bands,” and then he started listening to John Hiatt and Old Crow Medicine Show in the mid-2000s, marking a shift to more roots/folk-influenced music. “That kind of got me into roots/Americana music, and I just identi-

Shandel lived in Vancouver before making the recent move to the Cowichan Valley. “I just found Vancouver to be a bit hectic, and I was, I guess, missing some of the subtleties and nuances for all the noise,” he said. “I lived in Ladysmith the last four months, and I found it’s quiet and the pace is slow, and I can just focus better. I think I’m more of a country, small-town person, at least for now. And I’ve been doing tons of writing there, so Ladysmith’s been really good to me.” Shandel says he’s met Jonas Shandel and Headwater perform in Ladysmith a lot of really nice peothis Sunday (July 20) for Concerts in the Park at the ple in Ladysmith, and Transfer Beach Amphitheatre.

the chronicle

It was going to see two legendary musical acts as a young boy that secured Lonnie Glass’s future. In 1957, Glass’s mother took her eightyear-old son to see Elvis Presley perform in Toronto. Glass says that is the moment he knew he wanted to be on stage. In 1964, when Glass was 14 and taking music in junior high school, he saw The Beatles, and his fate was sealed. “When I saw them, that’s when I first thought I would like to be a musician,” he said. “They were my first influence to try to play rock ‘n’ roll. For me at the time, they were the first band that really did these tremendous harmonies that hadn’t been heard, and their songs were so unique and catchy. Rock ‘n’ roll ended, and they were bringing in a new kind of contemporary music. I was just moved by their whole aura.” Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Glass played in bands in Ontario as a bass player and singer. In the early 1980s, he and his boyhood friend started a ZZ Top tribute band, which toured for 27 years. During that time, Glass began writing songs, and he hasn’t stopped. Glass, who performs as Lonnie G, has recorded six CDs over the years, and he has a catalogue of 145 songs to choose from when he performs Saturday, July 19 at In The Beantime Café. Glass’s discography dips into several genres, from folk to blues. In 2010, he

recorded the album Chapter of Night, which is all about the American Civil War. Glass became interested in the American Civil War after studying history in high school and university in the U.S. “Everything I studied down there was history and English, and in history, the Americans are very focused on their own history, so consequently, I got really interested in American history,” he said. “When I started touring in the 1980s, I did a lot of touring in the States, and I started investigating all the places I would play. I did a lot of shows in the southern States, and during the day, I would go to museums, battlefields, newspaper

archives and libraries. I got really interested in issues of slavery and the Civil War. In 2007, I started researching a lot of the Civil War, and after about three years of research, I just started writing songs that related to different events in the Civil War, different people in the Civil War, battles, the underground railroad and slavery.” Glass recorded Chapter of Night in 2010 and organized a southern tour that summer, playing every day for eight weeks in places like South Carolina, Florida, North Carolina and Alabama. “It was like a concert about an American Civil War retrospective,” he said. “I played in schools, concerts, clubs, libraries, wherever I could get a crowd. It was a great experience.” Glass and his wife moved to Victoria in 2011. When Glass comes to Ladysmith, he will perform with Brad Hawkes on percussion. He will also share many stories. “I would say that I’m like a modern-day troubadour,” said Glass, who doesn’t take a break when he performs. “Troubadours used to go from town to town, and they’d sing and tell stories of what was going on around the world so people in small towns would know what was going on. I feel like that’s what I do. I tell stories.” Glass performs Saturday, July 19 at 7 p.m. at In The Beantime Café.

Question of the Week Driveway test driver Zack Spencer says today’s crossover vehicles have replaced the popular station wagon of yesteryear. Do you agree? Is there something about the station wagon that appeals more to you?

Lexus joins the compact crossover lineup with the all-new NX.

Go to DrivewayCanada.ca to submit your answer. QUESTION

OF THE WEEK!

Drive The worldwide launch of the NX was held right here in B.C., driving between ultra modern Vancouver and the rustic resort of Whistler. International guests were exposed to the two sides of the NX, the polished city vehicle and the weekend getaway SUV. Powering around the mountain resort, I got my first shot at the all-new 2.0L direct inject turbocharged 4-cylinder that Lexus will use in a number of its vehicles. With 235hp and 258 lb.-ft. of torque this new power plant does a good job once the NX 200t is in motion; it is getting away from a stop that could use a bit more snap. AWD is standard across the lineup but the system is designed to run in front wheel drive as much as possible to help save fuel. Lexus has made no bones about its target; it sees the Audi Q5 as the benchmark in this class. Audi has been at the small turbocharged game a lot longer and it shows, plus the handling of the NX isn’t sharp at all. In fact, all the passengers inside the base model test vehicle noticed the top-heavy body roll. Verdict What Lexus (Toyota) has been up to over the past ten-plus years is

producing hybrid cars in numbers nobody else can touch. This new NX is also available as a hybrid, but don’t expect any kind of show-stopping performance. Rated at just 194hp, the heavier NX 300h hybrid might be outclassed by just-as-thrifty diesel options in the market. The price of the NX 200T has not been set but if you look at the Audi Q5 as a target, expect the price to start at roughly $41,000 when it goes on sale at the end of 2014. Fuel economy has also not been set but with a direct injection turbocharged 4-cylinder under the hood, this new Lexus should be better on fuel than the larger RX350 equipped with a V6 engine. As the small SUV market continues to grow, and this new NX certainly is one of the most eye-catching to come along in a while.

Lifelong friends compete together at Summer Games Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE

Two Mid-Isle Soccer Club players who have known each other their whole lives will get to experience their highest level of competition together this week when they participate in the BC Summer Games in Nanaimo. Mary Nicholls and Ava Wilson, who are both 12 years old and both live in Ladysmith, will be suiting up for the Vancouver IslandCentral Coast U12 Girls’ soccer team. This is the highest level they’ve played at so far. “It’s exciting, but I’m also really scared at the same time,” Nicholls said just days before the Games begin. Wilson shares her mixture of excitement and nerves. “It’s nerve-wracking, but I think it will be a good experience,” she said. Nicholls, who can play any position on the field except goalkeeper, has been playing on a U13 rep team since she was 10, and she has been playing with the Mid-Isle Highlanders Youth Soccer Academy.
