Aggressive cougar spotted on trail Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE

Ladysmith’s well-used Holland Creek Trail was closed Monday (Aug. 11) after a dog chased away a cougar exhibiting aggressive behaviour the day before. Conservation officer Troy Sterling confirms that a cougar came up the slope directly at two people and a dog walking on the trail Sunday afternoon (Aug. 10). “When the dog noticed the cougar, the dog chased the cougar away,” he said. “The people believe if the dog wasn’t there, [the cougar] would have attacked. It was focused on them and had aggressive behaviour. It wasn’t stalking them but was coming right at them.” This occurred around 3:30 p.m., and Sterling says that is unusual behaviour, as cougars usually come out at dusk or in the evening hours. Sterling says there have been six other reports of cougars in that area in the past two months, and the cougar may have turned toward people because it could be sickly or malnourished. According to Sterling, it is “quite possible” that all the reports are of the same cougar because the animals do have territories and they do defend them, but that hasn’t been confirmed. “It’s most likely the same cougar, but I can’t be sure because we don’t have real good descriptions from the other six reports,” he said. Conservation officers weren’t able to bring in hounds on Sunday Flamenco dancer Alexandra Talbot performs with the Toronto-based world music ensemble Ventanas dur- to search for the cougar because it ing the Aug. 5 Music in the Park show at Waterwheel Park in Chemainus.

an aggressive cougar, and the animal’s scent dissipates faster in such hot weather, explained Sterling. Now, they will wait for reports from the public, and if they get a fresh sighting, they will hopefully be able to get the hounds in to search the area if the report is made quickly. Because of the cougar’s aggressive behaviour, it will probably be destroyed once it is found, explained Sterling. If anybody runs into a cougar, Sterling recommends they make themselves look big and place other people on their shoulders, make eye contact with the cougar because it may see that as a threat and back away, do not run, do not scream, and back away slowly if you can. If you have a cellphone, call the Conservation Office at 1-877-952-7277 or call 9-1-1 if you are in danger. Sterling encourages people to carry bear spray or an air horn and to avoid travelling alone. Based on the conservation officers’ advice, the Town of Ladysmith closed the Holland Creek Trail Sunday until further notice, confirmed city manager Ruth Malli. Malli notes that the conservation officers say this incident is a reminder that the Holland Creek Trail is a corridor for wildlife. “There’s obviously more concern because of this animal being aggressive,” she said. “It’s a good reminder to all of us.” Malli encourages the public to visit the Town’s website at www. ladysmith.ca for updates on the status of the trail. As well, the website www.wildsafebc.com offers information and a mapping database of all dangerous wildlife complaints

Chemainus Health Care Auxiliary being recognized Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE

The Chemainus Health Care Auxiliary is earning recognition for the contributions it makes to health care on Vancouver Island and beyond. The Chemainus Health Care Auxiliary (CHCA) has been named as a finalist for the Outstanding Philanthropic Service Club Award as part of the 2014 Vancouver Island National Philanthropy Day Event. Three finalist have been named for each of the six award categories, and winners will be announced at the National Philanthropy Day Celebration taking place Tuesday, Nov. 18 in Victoria. “It’s a real honour,” said Mimi Zuyderduyn, the auxiliary’s recording secretary. “We’re just so happy to do this. When you come to the Thrift Shop, the people there are so happy. Everyone has connections with someone who has needed the services of BC Children’s Hospital. To be recognized and make people aware of what people can do, even 50 cents, it all adds up.” Zuyderduyn says the CHCA was nominated for its generous contributions to local health care, including supporting the Chemainus Health Care Centre and BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver. By the end of 2014, the CHCA will have donated $275,000, and the auxiliary has pledged an additional $225,000 by the end of 2018 to bring its health care contributions through Thrift Shop sales to half a million dollars.

Summer job has Fringe benefits Lindsay Chung the chronicle

It’s unpredictable, it’s unique, and it’s a chance to support artists and the community. It’s the Nanaimo Fringe Festival, featuring 48 performances over eight days. The fourth annual Nanaimo Fringe Festival runs Aug. 14-17 and Aug. 21-24 at Harbour City Theatre (25 Victoria Rd.) and Nanaimo Museum (100 Museum Way). Nanaimo Fringe Festival is a nonprofit community arts event that connects Nanaimo to the thriving circuit of fringe festivals that sweeps across Canada every summer. In addition to drawing touring artists to Nanaimo, half of the schedule is reserved for local artists. Ladysmith’s Keauna Miller is this year’s assistant festival coordinator and volunteer co-ordinator. The 2014 Ladysmith Secondary School (LSS) graduate started working with Nanaimo Fringe at the end of June, and she has been busy doing public relations work, distributing posters and festival brochures and coordinating volunteers. Once the festival begins, she will be in charge of volunteers at the box office, managing one of the venues, connecting the technicians and volunteers to make sure the shows are ready, and generally making sure everything runs smoothly. Miller was very involved in theatre and improv at LSS and recently starred in and directed The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee this past spring. “I was really excited to be able to expand my theatre

Ladysmith’s Keauna Miller is the assistant festival co-ordinator and volunteer co-ordinator for the fourth annual Nanaimo Fringe Festival. Lindsay Chung connections outside of Ladysmith, and I also think the fringe movement itself is fantastic,” Miller said of what attracted her to the job. She likes that with fringe festivals, shows are chosen by lottery. “My favourite thing about it is we don’t pick and choose, so really, anything can happen,” said Miller. “We don’t see the shows before they come. It’s great because it can be a grand-new artist or someone who’s established and wants to try something new.” Miller has been enjoying her work with Nanaimo Fringe. “I’ve learned a lot,” she said. “I wasn’t super familiar with fringe festivals outside of Edinburgh’s fringe festival before this, so I’ve learned a lot about what the festival actually is and how much work it takes to make it run.” The job seems like a perfect fit for Miller, who will be moving to Nanaimo this fall to study general studies at Vancouver Island

University. She hopes to eventually go to the University of Alberta in Edmonton and earn her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting. “I love theatre, and I’m moving to Nanaimo [this fall], and I really wanted to have a foothold in the community,” she said. “It’s been really great for making connections, and because of the nature of the festival where it’s smaller-scale shows, it’s something I can see myself doing.” Miller is excited about the Nanaimo Fringe Festival, and she encourages Ladysmith residents to come see the shows. “I also really encourage people who are unsure about it to come tot our preview night,” she said. “It’s a free event at the Harbour City Theatre, and each show is going to do a five-minute preview to convince you to go see their show. I’m really excited to see it.” The free Preview Night takes place Wednesday, Aug. 13 at 8 p.m. at the Harbour City Theatre.

During the festival, there is a free Fringe Hub Aug. 14-17 and Aug. 21-23 until midnight at Vault Café. This is a chance for artists and audiences to meet, swap show review and enjoy free entertainment. “Artists will be there, and audience members, volunteers and myself will be able to interact with them, and I’m really excited about that,” said Miller. For show descriptions, schedules, tickets, and opportunities to get involved, including a wrap-up Jam The Fringe on Sunday, Aug. 24, visit www.nanaimofringe. com.

YOUR WORDS

There are major safety concerns on the Trans-Canada Highway, especially near Coronation Mall

“It’s very community- and people-minded.” Mimi Zuyderduyn, Page 3

Editor: Editor’s note: This is a copy of a letter sent to Ladysmith council Recently, I read the article in the Chronicle by Lindsay Chung regarding the noise and speed on the Trans-Canada Highway. The Blatchfords spoke to council July 21 with reference to this issue. I, too, have the same concerns living directly above the highway on Clarke Road. In the past, I had phoned the minister of transport asking if the speed could be reduced on the highway for all of Ladysmith as it is for Chemainus. They responded by saying that they considered that stretch of highway with the 90-kilometre speed designation to be very safe and that there was no reason to lower the limit. As the Blatchfords have stated, there are major safety concerns, especially at the pedestrian crossing near Coronation Mall, which is on the Trans-Canada Highway. Many of the trucks need to use their jake breaks in order to stop for the lights. This also adds to the noise issue. As well, the multiple motorcycles that drive by with inadequate mufflers (mostly Harleys) make it so that we cannot speak to each other in our backyard because we cannot hear anything but the exhausts and brakes. I wholeheartedly support a noise and speed bylaw for the entire stretch of the Trans-Canada Highway in Ladysmith. Hopefully MOTI will help to rectify this situation. Cecilia Grimstead Ladysmith

Speed limit should be 70 km/h

Editor: Living on Bayview Avenue, I totally relate to the observations made by fellow residents in the Aug. 5 article on highway noise and speed. We also moved here in 2000 and have noticed the manifold increase in the now almost unbearable noise from the highway due to the increasing number of vehicles and motorbikes, and the ever increasing average speed. I understand that the Town at one time had a choice between the highway passing above Ladysmith or bisecting the town. Apparently, it was felt that the local economy would suffer if the highway went around the town, as today it does in Nanaimo, Parksville and towns north. I think those towns have proven that apart from the odd car running low on gas, there is no local economic benefit from a freeway. Only local people and tourists, and other people who have Ladysmith as a destination, will add to the local economy. Adding to the population will do a lot more than adding

to the number of cars racing through town. Now we are left with a highway that separates the town from a lovely waterfront, hinders waterfront development and stands in the way of this town’s potential as a centre of history, culture and recreation. It has been proven that towns that offer those elements tend to attract clean industry with high-paying jobs, and highincome residents, which lowers taxes and enhances living in Ladysmith. Another factor is air quality. When average speed goes from 70 km/h to 90 km/h, there is a 63-per-cent increase in the amount of carbon dioxide spewed into the air. I have no doubt that population growth on the North Island will eventually force the continuation of the Campbell River-toNanaimo freeway south to Victoria, around Ladysmith and Duncan. But that will take years. In the meantime, the mayor gives us no hope of improvement. He states that the Department of Highways built the road for speeds up to 110 km/h, and only reluctantly reduced it to 70 km/h for the portion that passes the downtown area.

We acknowledge the financial support of the Government of Canada, through the Canada Periodical Fund (CPF) of the Department of Canadian Heritage.

sidering a new bylaw to permit coach housing ... Is this what we need in Ladysmith? Is anyone going to pay double taxes on their property? More water usage ... More garbage collection ... Will the home owner who has one on their property pay for that too? I think not ... We don’t need this in Ladysmith, maybe Victoria, as there are about 50 low-income houses in town now called condos for sale or rent already ...

I, for one, believe in democracy and the power of the individual in a free society. I think that the speed limit should be 70 km/h, strictly enforced, from just before South Davis Road to the Mohawk Service Station. Trucking companies will object, as it will add to their travel time. That reminds me of a famous race between two cars, between New York and Los Angeles. One team was to travel, observing strictly all speed limits, the other using their own judgment. The one observing all speed limits arrived 20 minutes after the other one. I also think that we need to examine the noise level of motorbikes. I cannot imagine that these are within legal limits, or possibly limits should be lowered and/or enforced. I have sent a copy of this letter to mayor and council, but it appears that they have given up. What will the rest of us do? Vince Devries Ladysmith

Theatre hosting The Biggest Garage Sale Ever Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE

It’s a chance to support the Ladysmith Little Theatre, get rid of unused items hanging around your house and find a few new treasures. It’s being billed as The Biggest Garage Sale Ever, and on Saturday, Aug. 23, Ladysmith Little Theatre will turn into a bargain hunter’s paradise. The fundraising sale takes place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 4985 Christie Rd. The Ladysmith Players Society purchased the theatre building, the Old Diamond School, from School District 68 last year, and the volunteers are now busy fundraising to supplement their building fund.

Johnston says if LLT didn’t own the building, they would have to pay to rent rehearsal and performance space, and those costs would have to trickle down into ticket prices. “One of the major expenses for any theatre group is the performing space,” said Johnston. “Owning the building helps us

An Escalade worth the wait Cadillac recently held the introduction of its all-new Escalade in the heart of Toronto, specifically the heart of Yorkville. This upscale slice of Toronto real estate is home to spendy shops, exclusive restaurants and luxurious hotels. This is a place to be seen or be seen in a vehicle that projects the image one wants to portray. Media guests for the Escalade launch stayed at Toronto’s very first boutique hotel, The Hazelton. As one Torontonian put it, “that’s about the fanciest place in town.” It certainly draws an upscale crowd of rich people, or posers, looking the part. With a steady lineup of Ferrari, McLaren and other exotics parked outside, Cadillac was front and centre showing off its new full-size luxury SUV to a young, well-healed crowd of Toronto socialites and business people.

Little wins six medals at NAIG

Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE

Swimming at the highest level she’s competed at to date, Pamela Little earned six medals at the North American Indigenous Games in Regina, Sask., late last month. Little, a member of the Ladysmith-Chemainus Orcas Swim Club, won a gold medal as a member of the Mixed 16&U 200m free relay team. She won two more relay medals, earning silver in the Mixed 16&U 200m medley relay and the Mixed 16&U 400m free relay.

of the Games to win both the Overall Team Title and the John Fletcher Spirit Award. The John Fletcher Spirit Award is presented to the contingent that best demonstrates the spirit of teamwork, fair play, respect and integrity throughout the competition. Team BC competed in 13 sports and won a total of 160 medals (63 gold, 49 silver and 48 bronze) over the course of the competition week. This put the team in first place, just one medal ahead of Team Saskatchewan. This is the first time BC has won the Overall Team Title at the NAIG. Little thinks being part of Team BC was a great experience. “It was basically like you were part of a family,” she said. Little says she feels good about her swimming at the NAIG, and she is proud of all her swims. She enjoyed competing in relays and says it was fun to work as a team. “It was amazing to actually win a medal,” she said, adding she had no idea going

into the competition that she would do so well. Little says she enjoyed Saskatchewan, and her favourite part of competing at the NAIG was meeting everyone. She says swimming in such a big competition “was scary at first, then after a while, it was good.” The Orcas’ season starts again in September, and after doing so well at the NAIG, Little is excited to get going again and to reach her next goal, which is to earn her AA time. “It makes me feel more confident about what’s going to happen next,” she says of winning the NAIG medals. Little’s coach, Dusan Toth-Szabo, is proud of Little for her accomplishments this summer. “It’s really great the Orcas are represented at so many levels, and hopefully it’s going to be inspiring to other kids from the aboriginal community to try swimming,” he said. “This is great, going there for the first time ever and winning six medals.”

Wheaties finish second in league final Greg Sakaki THE CHRONICLE

An upset wasn’t in the cards — the Duncan Masters were unbeatable this season. The Duncan squad defeated the Wheatsheaf Fastball Club 6-2 July 30 at the Wheatsheaf field complex in Cedar in the championship game of the Nanaimo Senior Men’s Fastball League. The final is usually a best-ofthree series, but a rainout the week before led to a winnertake-all showdown. Blake Hunter had a two-run home run for the Wheaties in defeat. Craig Snyder was the winning pitcher for Duncan and received offensive support from Trevor Gicas and

Brad Robinson, who both hit homers. The Duncan squad was undefeated (9-0-1) in league play this summer and only allowed eight runs against in those 10 games. The team also won the B.C. Cup tournament at the Wheatsheaf fields, beating Vancouver Meralomas 5-2 in the July 20 final. In other local fastball news, Blake Hunter and Todd Belton of the Wheatsheaf team are currently playing for the Sooke Loggers senior A team at the International Softball Congress World Fastball Tournament in Kitchener, Ont. from Aug. 8-16 and also the Softball Canada championships in Charlottetown, P.E.I. from Aug. 26-31.

JANOVICK (nee Lapsansky), Emilia (Emily)

HALEY, Maxine M.

On August 6th, 2014 Emily passed peacefully into the spirit realm. Emily was born to hard working European parents, Emilia Krall and Andrew Lapsansky, on April 23rd, 1929 at Ladysmith, B.C. The second youngest of seven brothers and sisters, she graduated in June of 1948 from Ladysmith High School. During high school Emily typed letters for the principal and worked on the school newspaper â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spion Kopâ&#x20AC;?. After graduation, she performed ofďŹ ce work in Vancouver, and then spent a summer in Nanaimo before eventually settling in the Cowichan Lake area on Vancouver Island. There, Emily worked in the personnel ofďŹ ce of W.F.I. Limited. It was shortly thereafter, and during her tenure at W.F.I., where she met her future husband Mike. The couple married on May 10th, 1952 and their union produced three children; Gayle (Peter), Gary (Terry), and Cathy (Bruce). Emily was blessed with many grandchildren; Michael and Matthew of Calgary, Alberta; Terry, Lowell and Crystal of Saskatchewan as well as three adopted grandchildren, Katie, John and Chris. She also has three great-grandchildren. When not travelling extensively with her husband Mike, Emily kept her hands busy with sewing, knitting and crocheting. During their travels, Emily and Mike visited Reno many times as well as several other exotic places, which included Cuba and Hawaii. Emily belonged to the Honeymoon Bay Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club, the Seniorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Centre in Ladysmith, as well as the Mary and Martha Group of Lake Cowichan and the Nanaimo Ostomy Group. Her winter months were ďŹ lled up with Square and Round dancing and her summers were spent working in her beloved ďŹ&#x201A;owerbeds and gardens. The bounty from her gardens were frozen, preserved or given away to friends and loved ones. Emily also enjoyed sports from a very early age (primary school), becoming a strong runner, eagerly participating in softball games and the annual Sports Day events. Emily is survived by Mike, her loving husband of 62 years and her sister Katherine (Bill Thompson). She is predeceased by her siblings and their spouses; Susie and Andy Ondzik, Francis and George Farris, Mary and Steve Matijan, Andrew and Helen Lapsansky and Stephan Lapsansky. She has many nieces and nephews as well as other relatives living throughout Canada, the United States and Slovakia. Emily looked forward to visiting these family members. The family wishes to thank Dr. Kennedy and the Lab and Urgent Care Staff at the Ladysmith Hospital for their professional care over the years. Heartfelt gratitude to the nursing staff on the 3rd ďŹ&#x201A;oor at Cowichan District Hospital, who cared for Emily during her ďŹ nal weeks. Thanks also to Nellie and Gena who would visit her at home, providing companionship and laughter. Service to be held at the Ladysmith United Church on August 15th at 11:00 a.m. followed by a luncheon at the Ladysmith Eagles Hall at 12:00 noon with interment at the Cedar Valley Cemetery. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers, a donation to the charity of your choice would be greatly appreciated.

IN MEMORIAM

REMEMBERING

Todd loved being a father, so very proud of his girls. He loved teaching them things and taking on adventures, helping them to become the wonderful young ladies they are today. Toddâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personality was larger than life, he had the uncanny ability to make us laugh and giggle at all his stories and lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adventures. Todd made friends where ever he went and will be missed so much by those who were lucky enough to have been part of his life.

We love you, we miss you ~ Forever in our Hearts ~ A Celebration of Toddâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be held on August 23, 2014 at the Eagles Hall in Ladysmith, BC at 1:00 p.m.
