Coach houses dominate Zoning Bylaw discussion Ross Armour THE CHRONICLE

The Town of Ladysmith has held its final public hearing ahead of proposed Zoning Bylaw changes, with talk of coach houses dominating the proceedings July 14. A crowd of approximately 150 packed into the Ladysmith Seniors’ Centre on a warm evening to voice their concerns and gather more information from council and Town staff. But despite the large turnout, less than a quarter of the people in the room took to the microphone. One person who did was Pam Fraser. “Your proposal is to legalize twostorey accessory buildings (coach houses) which will be constructed in the back yard or on the first floor, above the garage,” she said. “These can also be built within five feet of the next building. This negatively impacts privacy and light issues and puts neighbours against neighbours. Bylaws should reduce conflict, not increase it.” Those statements were greeted by cheers from some in attendance. “At present, council considers objections from neighbours, which gives neighbours power,” said Fraser. “Who wants to live next to a hostile neighbour? There should be a clear and limited criteria for the granting of variances.” Mayor Rob Hutchins explained that the look of these coach houses will be predominantly up to the property owner. “The form and character of accessory buildings is not an issue for the Town to explore; it’s up to the

property owners,” said the mayor, adding that council can only take the feedback it gets, amidst the lack of speakers on the night. “One skill I do not have is mind reading.” Carol Henderson is concerned with the amount of on-street parking the building of coach houses will encourage. “Accessory buildings cause more on-street parking,” she said. “Many people have boats and trailers these days, and there will be more vehicles per lot. I see people living on the side of streets in trailers already. There are things happening here that we as a sophisticated town should not allow.” Hutchins explained there has been a lot of support for coach houses in the past. “Four years ago, we began looking at legalizing secondary suites,” he said. “We’ve had four public meetings. We did a phone survey, and the vast majority of residents supported that, around 96 per cent, and 66 per cent voted for coach houses.” Rob Johnson, a former town councillor, asked for further discussion at the council table before passing the bylaw. “Change should be driven by public request,” he said. “Why are we making changes if the public demand is not there? I hope the voting doesn’t happen tonight. This bylaw is important to our community in terms of reshaping it. There will be repercussions down the road if we rush into decisions.” The Zoning Bylaw was not voted on by council after the public hearing had closed and will now Seven-year-old Sedona Wright of Ladysmith gets a chance to hold a baby Purple Martin during the 10th be discussed further and voted on annual Purple Martin Open House July 20 at the Ladysmith Maritime Society Community Marina.

The prohibition does not apply to CSA-rated or ULC-rated cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes, or to a portable campfire apparatus that uses briquettes, liquid or gaseous fuel, as long as the height of the flame is less than 15 centimetres, according to the press release. This prohibition covers all BC Parks, Crown lands and private lands, but does not apply within the boundaries of local governments that have forest fire prevention bylaws and are serviced by fire departments. Please check with local governments for any other restrictions before lighting a fire. Anyone found in contravention of an open fire prohibition may be issued a ticket for $345 or, if convicted in court, may be fined up to $100,000 and sentenced to one year in jail. If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person may be subject to a penalty of up to $10,000 and be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs. To report a wildfire or unattended campfire, call 1-800-6635555 toll-free or *5555 on a cellphone. For the latest information on current wildfire activity, burning restrictions, road closures and air quality advisories, visit http://bcwildfire.ca. *** The recent hot weather also means

that water restrictions have been put in place. Until further notice, the Town of Ladysmith is under Stage 2 water restrictions, which limits residents’ water sprinkling period to a maximum of one our per sprinkling day only. These restrictions have been put in place due to a snow pack shortage and a limited spring run-off, as well as unseasonably dry weather. Residents of oddnumbered premises can sprinkle on oddnumbered days only between the hours of 7-8 a.m. or 7-8 p.m., while people living in even-numbered premises may sprinkle during one of those time periods on even-numbered days only. As well, residents are asked not to wash their vehicles — commercial outlets are still available — and not to refill their swimming pools. If a fire alarm sounds, sprinkling should cease immediately. Residents may use a hose with a shut off spray nozzle to water trees, shrubs, flowers or vegetables on any day during the week. Residents who contravene this water restriction will be subject to prosecution. Both North Cowichan and the Cowichan Valley Regional District (CVRD) are under Stage 2 water restrictions, which limit watering to three hours maximum twice per week. Even addresses can water on Wednesdays and Saturdays from either 6-9 a.m. or from 7-10 p.m., while odd addresses can water on Thursdays and Sundays from either 6-9 a.m. or from 7-10 p.m.

Zoning Bylaw vote forthcoming From Page 1 at a subsequent council meeting. Council was set to debate second and third reading Monday, July 21. “To get all these people out here on a warm Monday night shows the passion we have in our community,” said Coun. Gord Horth. “A lot of good work has gone into this bylaw, and if it’s passed, it won’t support everyone’s opinion. We will consider the thoughts and feedback from tonight at another council meeting.” Coun. Jill Dashwood spoke about

the need for affordable housing options. “The hat I wear at the council table is an affordable housing hat,” she said. “I see schools closing down, the jobs are not there. We need to fill our community with families. I worry about how people can afford to live. We are not all mill workers with pensions, and I like the idea of being able to live in a coach house and rent out my house. We need to think about how we can sustain our neighbours and friends in our community for a long time.”

YOUR WORDS

“Bylaws should reduce conflict, not increase it.” Pam Fraser, Page 1

Points to Ponder Pastor Rob Bedard

Bethel Tabernacle

he news these days is replete with reports on the Middle East conflict, all of which confirm the truth of the old adage: History repeats itself. History tomes are chock-full of evidence that the conflict between the Arabs and Jews is anything but new. In actuality, this conflict stems back to sibling rivalry between two halfbrothers, Ishmael and Isaac, Abraham’s two sons from different mothers. For 4,000 years, this family feud has been on display for all to see and, I would propose, to even learn from. The Bible once again proves to be as current as today’s breaking news. Genesis 21:9-10 states: “Sarah (Isaac’s mother) saw that the son (Ishmael) whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham was mocking, and she said to Abraham, ‘Get rid of that slave woman and her son (Ishmael), for that slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with my son Isaac’” (brackets added). For history not to repeat itself, students of history must intentionally learn from the mistakes of others. There are at least two major life lessons to learn from this 4,000-year-old family feud. First, grudges are often inherited from our parents. Read Genesis Chapters 1321, and you will find the sibling rivalry between Ishmael and Isaac actually originated as a family feud between two mothers, Hagar and Sarah. Second, regardless of one’s history, hurts and inherited grudges, family feuds can die if we choose to starve them. Instead of mocking others, why not bless them? Jesus said it best: “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:4345). Here, Jesus clearly delineates between two choices: We can either feed or starve our grudges. Our choice will determine whether a better future will be scripted or a bitter history will be repeated, so let’s choose wisely.

Thank you for supporting LRCA Editor: Please allow me through your “letters to the editor” to send a huge thank you to everyone who supported our “Fancy-Plants” plant and bake sale held June 14 at the Ladysmith Resources Centre! It was a great day even though it was overcast in the morning! Fundraisers such as this mean more than you know to us. It means we can continue to offer snacks and healthy food choices during our Early Years programs, which the children love; the Dads Group can continue to provide their Saturday morning sausage and pancake breakfasts for the fathers and kids who attend and who enjoy such a wonderful program and camaraderie with other dads; and it means a lot to the staff and volunteers who work in these programs to know they can continue to be offered without additional worry. When we lose funding we’ve counted on for so long (as we have experi-

enced recently), it’s heartbreaking and it always seems to affect those who can least afford to have it cut. So thank you Ladysmith for supporting us at this fundraiser. John, Ladysmith’s SaveOn-Foods manager, pitched right in, donating cases of bottled water to the event and took on the role of barbecue master, cooking up hot dogs for one and all — thank you John. Special thanks to Bloooms at the 49th, Shar Kare and Country Grocer — your donations were a huge bonus! And, thank you to all the staff and volunteers who helped with the sale in so many ways and for turning out on the weekend! Bouquets to you all! My sincere apology if I have missed anyone.

area took off. Highways refused because they didn’t want to impede the flow of traffic on the TCH ... really, what a concept! (If that is the case, why are there lights at the Thick/Edgelow and Oyster-Sto-Lo intersections?) Instead, they suggested closing the S. Davis intersection entirely or closing the left turn option, which of course would only compound the congestion at Coronation Square and that intersection. As it is, that is already happening, as many of my neighbours refuse to use that intersection, preferring to drive the length of Davis Road to reach the highway. Unfortunately, Highways seems to be reactive rather than proactive, as witnessed by the changes at Fuller Lake and Brenton Page after several fatalities. Improved safety measures for the Davis Road intersections and reduction and enforcement of speed limits is required now. Perhaps it will once again require a sad event to prompt changes.

I certainly agree with previous letter writers on this subject. Speeds are excessive, and light controls at that intersection are inadequate. The Highways Department doesn’t seem to realize or care that Ladysmith town actually begins at South Davis Road. Yet northbound traffic races down the hill past S. Davis Road to the Coronation intersection at speeds between 110 and 130, semis and logging trucks included. If the light is green at Davis Road, traffic just keeps barreling through well above the posted speed limit of 90 until the 70 km/h reduction at Transfer Beach, which, by the way, often doesn’t seem to bother highway travellers who continue to exceed this limit by 20-plus km/h driving through the heart of town. Trying to make a left turn at S. Davis is often an adventure because visibility of northbound traffic is poor and approach speed difficult to appreciate. Neither is there a merge lane for southbound traffic. The Town requested a light at the S. Davis intersection a few years ago when residential development in the

them. The day was wonderful, peaceful and happy, fun and full of laughter and joy. The family watched a movie together, and he was allowed to stay up a little later. When he went to bed, she went in to say goodnight and he talked about how grateful he was for all his gifts and for the fun day. He said “It was the best Christmas ever.” She kissed him goodnight and went upstairs to bed. Just before midnight, they were awakened from sleep by their daughter screaming “Mom! Help! Come quick! It’s bad! Oh God, Mom, it’s bad! Oh, please God, help!” Not knowing what they would find, they raced downstairs to find their grandson unconscious, not breathing, with no heartbeat, no pulse, pupils fixed. She went into rescue mode, called 9-1-1 and began CPR. She yelled to her husband over her daughter’s painful, blood-cur-

dling screams to “get her outside; I need to be able to work and hear the 9-1-1 operator.” When it’s your child, your family member, your loved one, it doesn’t matter how much you know and how much experience you have; there is a war going on in your head between your heart breaking, listening to your daughter scream for her baby to come back, and doing everything in your power and knowledge with guidance from 9-1-1 to bring this child back, make him take a breath, cough himself into consciousness. Your brain can only take in so much as you cope. It took 20 minutes for the RCMP to arrive with two ambulances. She passed off to the ambulance crew, ran out of the room and was sick. She dashed upstairs to get some clean clothes on and ran back outside to her still-screaming See Providing Page 8

HAFI Funds Home Modifications for Disabled Man When Lorie and Walter bought their home in Port Alberni 13 years ago they slowly began renovating the unfinished basement to accommodate Walter’s changing needs as his muscular dystrophy advanced. “The basement was a black hole when we moved in,” recalled Walter. “After 12 years of skimping and saving, we made the downstairs completely wheelchair accessible, except for the bathroom. It was way too small. I could only stand for about a minute and a half without collapsing in the shower stall and I could no longer pull myself out of the tub in the upstairs’ bathroom, even with Lorie’s help.” Through funding from BC Housing’s Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program, Walter and Lorie were able to work with a contractor to transform the space. A wall was removed to make room for a wheelin shower with benches, grab bars were installed, and the vanity and fixtures were relocated.

“ I just slide into the shower now,” said Walter. “I feel safer and no longer dread trying to wash myself. What was previously a dangerous chore for me is now a welcome treat.” Walter and Lorie hope to spend the rest of their lives in their home. The HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

lives. We can’t even begin to describe the details of all that they did for us. We were physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually thrust into an inability to think, make sentences, or speak from a place of understanding for the first two to three hours. What I can tell you is they helped soften the blow of having to deal with the coroner. There is no preparation for that. They took us to get fresh air, to talk, answered questions and provided direction. They stuck by us throughout our nightmare, communicating with the RCMP Investigation Team on our behalf. We absolutely could not have come through this, known what direction to go, understood and made sense of ‘what comes next’ without these two women. I would never wish this kind of trauma on anyone, but if you don’t know what it’s like, you can’t possibly understand how desperately this service is needed, and how enormously their support is appreciated. Anyone could wake to find a parent, a partner or a child gone in the blink of an eye. I can guarantee that in those terrifying and sickening moments of trauma, you can’t begin to think for yourself. You can’t begin to know what to do next. You can’t even express your grief adequately because all there is for you are tears, anguish and crying out. Rational thought is absent, and words elude you. I can tell you from my own personal experience with RCMP Victim Services that I am doing OK, ONLY because of the support I received that night. Left on my

own with only other broken and hurting people to lean on, I could not have possibly known where to start. Carla and Laura led us out of the wreckage to a safe place and showed us how to find the help we needed.” It is with heartfelt appreciation that we thank the author for sharing this very personal story. Testimonials such as this, quantify the impact the program has in the community. Currently, 60 per cent of cases handled are within the boundaries of the Town of Ladysmith. An additional 40 per cent of clients come from outlying areas: Stz’uminus First Nation accounts for 14 per cent, while Penelakut First Nation is seven per cent. Cases from Area H (Cassidy) account for six per cent, with a further six per cent from Area G (Chemainus). Another seven per cent fall outside these areas — out-of-town clients, Cedar and Thetis Island. The RCMP Victim Services program is contracted to the Ladysmith Resources Centre Association, but an office is provided for them in the RCMP detachment building. Carla is not an RCMP employee, nor is her program funded by the RCMP. The program is partially funded by the Ministry of Justice, with the expectation that matched funding will be provided by municipal contributions. Additional ongoing financial support must be found to ensure the services delivered to our residents are maintained. — Submitted by the Ladysmith Resources Centre Association

Renowned muralist returns to Chemainus Lindsay Chung

the chronicle

Thirty years after painting what is considered Chemainus’ most famous mural, Paul Ygartua was back in town last month to restore the Chemainus Festival of Murals Society’s signature historic mural, Native Heritage. The 50-foot-by-20foot image can be found at the corner of Chemainus Road and Mill Street. Ygartua, an international artist and muralist with bases in Canada, France, Spain and England, originally painted Native Heritage in 1983 as part of his Heritage Series. It was done singlehandedly with a brush. The mural is based on figures from the First Nations past and present in the area. Carved poles flank the central images of Ce-who-latza (left), who was chief of the Lyakun Village on Shingle Point, Valdez Island, as well as a constable of the Native Police and a pilot for the Royal Navy; former Chemainus Band Chief Clay-sa-luke (centre) and a Salish woman (right). Among the other figures that appears is Mrs. Mary Rice, at the top right. To give Ygartua space to create such a large mural, the Municipality of North Cowichan actually built the wall on which it is painted. Ygartua’s wife Joanne says it took him seven days to pain the mural.

“This one was amazing because he had no projector or scale,” she said. “People thereafter have said Paul is a visionary. It’s true because he just sees it.” After painting the Native Heritage mural, Ygartua was commissioned to paint a mural for Expo 86, and many more murals followed. Chemainus Festival of Murals Society director Karl Schutz, the architect of the mural project in Chemainus, approached Ygartua about painting a mural. “He talked about the size, and I thought that sounded great,” said Ygartua. “As an artist, I am already visualizing what it will look like when it’s finished. I saw the three faces.” Ygartua says murals need to be restored every eight to 10 years, depending on whether or not they are in a position where the weather hits them often. This is the fourth time he has worked on his Native Heritage mural, and the restoration was made possible by the Chemainus Festival of Murals Society and the Municipality of North Cowichan. Ygartua says he and Joanne knew from the first time they came to Chemainus that the murals would have a big impact on the town. “The first time we came, we knew it would be a great idea to change the whole perspective of the town from a mill town to a tourist town,” he

said. “Since then, other towns have put murals in. Chemainus has been developing all along. They’ve been doing more murals, and people have been coming to live here. It’s really grown.” Approximately 80 per cent of visitors come into Chemainus for the murals, according to the Chemainus and

District Chamber of Commerce. Ygartua says many people relate his style to this particular mural, and he and Joanne end up talking about Chemainus a lot when they are at art shows all around the world. The Chemainus Festival of Murals Society is a not-for-profit society trying to raise money

through grants for the mural restorations. “We have an ongoing five-year plan,” explained director Peter Collum. “Usually, one is restored completely each year, but most are cleaned up.” According to the society, murals are the main attraction for over 30,000 visitors to Chemainus each year.

Bill Johnson bringing the blues It hasn’t always been easy, but Bill Johnson has been working as a professional musician for 40 years, developing his own brand of laid-back, soul-thumping blues while living on Vancouver Island. And he’ll bring his brand of the blues to Ladysmith this weekend when he performs at Concerts in the Park Sunday, July 27. Johnson, who lives on the Saanich Peninsula, comes from an artistic family. His mother is Dorothy Oxborough, a well-known painter whose work can be found all across Canada. “I come from a family where everyone played instruments and creativity was the normal,” he said. “I liked the guitar and was always fiddling with it. I had an uncle who had a Gretsch electric guitar, which is a guitar with a lot of chrome buttons and levers on it — very interesting for a little boy. My brother played a lot of blues, so I heard the blues conSubscribe to

Johnson, who recently played with Suzie Vinnick at the Vancouver Folk Festival, performs Sunday, July 27 during Concerts in the Park at the Transfer Beach Amphitheatre from 6-8 p.m., weather permitting. Admission is by donation, with donations going toward the Ladysmith Resources Centre Association to offer programs to families in our community free of charge.

Sports

VIU Mariners boys’ basketball camps coming up Young basketball players from Cedar, Yellow Point, Ladysmith, Saltair and Chemainus are invited to learn the game from Vancouver Island University (VIU) coaches and top players this summer. VIU Nanaimo is hosting a new perimeter skill development and shooting camp for boys aged 13 to 17 from July 28-31. The camp runs from 9 a.m. to noon. A second camp will be held Aug. 18-22. Boys aged 11-14 play from 9 a.m. to noon, while boys aged 15-18 play from 1-4 p.m. “Kids can expect skill development, as well as the opportunity to be coached by Mariners coaches and players,” said men’s basketball coach Matt Kuzminski. “They have the opportunity to compete in games and competitions for prizes. It will be a lot of fun.” Kuzminski says the camps are a great opportunity for VIU to help young basketball players learn the game and improve, and it’s also a chance for them to get to know local talent. Each of the past few years, VIU has recruited players from these camps, including Tyler Radelja from Wellington Secondary School and Bryson Cox from Woodlands Secondary School. Kuzminski says camp participants come from all over, including Nanaimo, Ladysmith, Parksville-Qualicum Beach, Tofino, the Mainland and as far as the Queen Charlottes. Anyone interested in the camps can register online through www.viu. ca/mariners.

Shop at Home Service After a few years’ absence, girls softball returned to Ladysmith this past spring with three teams — Squirt, Peewee and Midget. Pictured here is the Ladysmith Angels U12 (Squirt) girls’ team, which participated in the Vancouver Island Regional U12C year-end tournament in Langford June 21-22. “The team consisted of mostly first time players, and the girls showed huge improvement over the year, culminating in a respectable eighth place finish out of the 13 teams that entered the Langford tournament,” said coach Kent Krauza. “There is a great amount of enthusiasm over having girl’s softball back in Ladysmith, and our association anticipates having a large growth in enrolment for next spring. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing what our girls will do next year.” Here are Squirt players Beth, Zari, Samantha, Grace, Kamryn, Marlee, Daria and Mickeela, along with coaches Pat, Debbie and Kent. Missing from photo are Jordan, Alex, Jada, Mariah and Madison. PHOTO SUBMITTED

TREACY, Anne Kathleen With sad and heavy hearts, we said a fond â&#x20AC;&#x153;cheerioâ&#x20AC;? to our loving mother Anne Kathleen Treacy (nee Barnett) on July 11, 2014. Predeceased by her husband, Desmond Treacy, she is survived by her four children: Carolyn (Campbell), Eve Novotny (Markus), Kevin Treacy and Jill Semancik (Michael) along with her beloved grandchildren Shena & Kyle Novotny and Tyler Treacy (wife Kate). We will miss her wonderful spirit, wicked sense of humour, courage, and strength. Anne was proud of her English roots and loved her â&#x20AC;&#x153;G and Tâ&#x20AC;? and/or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ice and Sliceâ&#x20AC;? and a cheeky cigarette. Her passion and loyalty to her family and friends knew no bounds. After retiring from a successful career as a paralegal for Bullhouser & Tupper in Vancouver, she and our father moved to Vancouver Island, settling in Ladysmith in 1992. Among her many interests, talents, and hobbies she had a lifelong connection to the Brownies and Girl Guides attaining the honour of Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Guide in England as a young Guider, serving as Tawny Owl for the Kitsilano (Vancouver) Brownie Troop, and was an active member of the Trefoil Guild representing Ladysmith for Vancouver Island. Her last overseas trip was to celebrate Sangam in India with her Trefoil peers in February of this year. Anne was a devoted, active member of the Church of England, and for past 20 years enjoyed various posts with St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Church Parish in Ladysmith. Anne was also a volunteer for the Ladysmith Auxiliary Thrift shop. She was an avid gardener, sewer, knitter and all round craftswoman. Our mother loved to redecorate and rearrange her home, something that was admired and enjoyed by family, friends and strangers alike. For several years Anne opened her home to B&B guests from all over the world and much was made of both her cooking and baking (best pie crust and breakfasts!) skills. A loving dog owner, Anne also cared for a number of her friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dogs over the years. The family extends our sincere gratitude to the nurses of the Cowichan Regional Hospital who took care of our beloved mum. Special thanks to Reverend Roslynn Westaway and our motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many friends for their love and support. We are glad to know you are now reunited with your husband and our father Desmond, your dear Charlie Barlie and the myriad of close friends and family that surely welcomed you to the great place in the sky â&#x20AC;Ś with a big G&T just for you! A Celebration of Life will be held at St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Church in Ladysmith on July 26 2014 at 1:00pm.

LACY, David

October 23, 1956 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; June 23, 2014 The family of David Francis Lacy announces with sadness his peaceful surrender to brain cancer, at home in Edmonton, Alberta at the age of 57 years. Predeceased by his father Wayne Lacy, David will be lovingly remembered by his wife and best friend Laurie, and their children: Ryan, Sean, David, Brendan, and Leanne; by his mother Helen Lacy of Victoria, BC; and by his brothers and sisters: Jim Lacy of Edmonton, Pat (Bob) Darling of Ladysmith, twin Kit (Michael) LeRoss of New Westminster, Donald (Julia) Lacy of Victoria, and Margaret (Tony) Baker of Victoria. David will also be forever remembered by his numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. Born in Invermere, BC, David grew up in Chemainus and graduated from Cowichan Secondary School in Duncan. David moved to Edmonton and worked for 29 years at Celanese Inc. until the plant closed, whereupon he worked at Transalta for the past seven years as an outage scheduler. David loved ďŹ&#x201A;ying gliders in his single days, and willingly gave this up for complete dedication to family life, always highly involved with the activities of the ďŹ ve children, his parish, and the Alberta home education community. Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated on Monday, June 30, 2014 at St. Thomas More Catholic Church, Edmonton, Alberta. Memorial donations in memory of David may be made to a charity of oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice. To send condolences, please visit www.connelly-mckinley.com.
