Chemainus Foods in receivership Craig Spence the chronicle

A popular grocery store, that has served residents of Chemainus for decades is closing its doors. Last week Chemainus Foods announced a price reduction on remaining items in the store and customers were notified that the business, operated by Michele and Greg Riley was in receivership. “Sadly we must tell you Chemainus Foods is closing,” the Riley’s said in a letter to the community. “Market place changes have finally caught up to us and while we have tried to develop ideas that would keep

the doors open we’ve not been successful.” The Rileys were especially concerned for their staff. “Closing a store and losing a job is tough for everyone,” they said. “We know this will be a difficult time for our staff who have served us and the community well.” Chemainus Foods received the Chamber of Commerce Retail Business of the Year Award in 2012. “We will miss you and will also miss being a part of the various community events,” the Rileys concluded. “We are really sorry there was not a better outcome.” The feelings were returned by shoppers at the store Thursday, Jan. 7,

Beyond Your Expectations

many of them not aware Chemainus Foods was in receivership. “I just don’t want to see them go, and nobody I talk to wants to see them go,” said Jeanne Newton, who lives in Crofton, but has been shopping at Chemainus Foods for about 25 years. “We shop here all the time.” “It’s an institution in the town,” said Gail Myles, a resident of Chemainus for about eight years. “We’re going to miss this store.” She pointed out that the town centre of Chemainus is being redeveloped, and the loss of Chemainus Foods will be a setback to that initiative. “It’s an economic indicator in my mind,” she said.

Plus s’il vous plaît. Nobody’s saying a full 8-12 French Immersion program at Ladysmith Secondary School is feasible, but a presentation from the Ecole North Oyster community has given trustees and staff at NanaimoLadysmith School District pause for thought. In fact, SD68 hasn’t even decided if a Grade 8-9 FI program at LSS will fly. The district surveyed students and parents in December to determine the level of support for a program, and staff will be presenting a recommendation to the Board by late February or early March, Superintendent John Blain told SD68’s Education Committee Wednesday, Jan. 6. But representatives of Ecole North Oyster urged the district not to rule out a full program, which they argued will: solidify enrolments at Ecole North Oyster; help LSS draw more students, and recover from an anticipated decline in enrolment when Cedar Secondary School reopens in the fall; and make it easier for students in the southern end of the district to access an increasingly popular and beneficial program. “When there’s a secondary program, you will get more kids enrolling at the elementary level,” parent Cheryl Onciul told the committee. A presentation prepared by her, another parent Carrie Segreto, and by Ecole North Oyster teacher Belinda Harrison projected ‘potential’ enrolment of 75 students by 2020. If a full program isn’t offered, they said, it will be more difficult to draw students into the Ecole North Oyster-Ladysmith Secondary French Immersion stream, and retain students who do enrol. Even at the kindergarten level parents are looking down the road to see if it goes all the way to graduation and a ‘double dogwood’ By Grade 8 the choice becomes even more stark. “There’s little incentive for Grade 8 students to go to LSS then switch to NDSS (Nanaimo District Secondary School),” Onciul said. Some would opt to send their children straight into French Immersion at NDSS; others to drop out of the FI program altogether. See French Immersion, Page 3

News BC Assessments Briefs in for the Island

RCMP ask for information on collision

RCMP are asking for witnesses to a serious accident Jan. 6, at the intersection of Highway 1 and Fisher Road in Cobble Hill, to contact South Island Traffic Services at 250-4160352. A preliminary investigation indicates a black Ford F350 flat deck truck, traveling south, turned left at the Fisher Road intersection into the path of a north bound, white BMW sedan. The two vehicles collided and as a result caught fire. A 20 year-old female passenger in the BMW was transported to hospital and remains in critical condition as a result of the crash. The RCMP report says there are indications alcohol was a contributing factor to the accident. No names have been released.

Program gives rebates for new wood burning stoves Money is available through the Cowichan Valley Regional District to replace inefficient, polluting wood stoves with more efficient, environmentally friendly units. The Wood Stove Exchange Program, funded in 13 communities by the B.C. Ministry of the Environment, helps homeowners by providing a $250 rebate when a new wood-burning, pellet or natural gas stove is purchased and an older model retired. New emissions-certified wood stoves burn one-third less wood; and reduce smoke and particulates entering the atmosphere by 70 per cent or more, says a ministry media release. The funding will also be put towards educational materials and workshops in communities to better inform residents on clean wood burning technology.

Owners of more than 360,000 properties throughout the Vancouver Island Region are being issued their 2016 assessment notices, which reflect market value of their homes and properties as of July 1, 2015. “The majority of residential home assessments within the region are shifting between minus 5 per cent to plus 10 per cent compared to last year’s assessments,” says Regional Assessor Reuben Danakody of BC Assessment. “Notably, a robust real estate market over the past year resulted in assessment increases for many properties in the Vancouver Island Region.” That was the case for single family residential properties in the Cowichan Valley, where property values were up: • Town of Ladysmith $299,300 from $285,400 • North Cowichan $320,200 from $312,000 • Duncan $254,200 from $245,100 In the City of Victoria single family residential assessments jumped to $547,200 from $524,200. BC Assessment tracks property data throughout the year. ‘Typical changes’ in assessments for commercial properties on the Island were a bit lower than residential numbers, between minus five and plus five per cent. There was no difference detected in the changes of either residential or commercial and light industrial property values between urban and rural areas. Overall, the Vancouver Island Region’s total assessments increased from $164 billion in 2015 to $170 billion this year. A total of almost $2.2 billion of the region’s updated assessments is from new construction, subdivisions and rezoning of properties. BC Assessment has launched a newly-enhanced website at bcassessment.ca that includes more details about 2016 assessments, property information and trends.

Commuters on their way to work may not have been too appreciative of the accumulation of snow on the streets of Ladysmith Jan. 5, but youngsters were quick to get into it, and onto it, with anything that would slide. No major accidents were reported as a result of the slippery streets, although traffic was slowed south-bound on the Trans Canada Highway when a car slid out of control into the front yard of house.

From Page 1 Segreto pointed out that French Immersion continues to grow in popularity. “It’s the way of filling our schools; offering French Immersion programs wherever we can,” she said. Her comments echo information from a recently released Insights West poll commissioned by the Canadian Parents for French and La Fédération des francophones de la Colombie-Britannique. “French is a huge hit in Canada’s most western province,” the advocacy groups said. Their poll showed that 70 per cent of British Columbians support Canada’s two official languages; and 66 percent believe French is an integral part of the Canadian identity. It also showed British Columbians “see big benefits in multilingualism,” with 93 per cent saying they believe it is an important skill to have, and 75 per cent agreeing that speaking French opens “social, career, and cultural opportunities.” Blain, who has said in the past that an 8-12 French Immersion program at LSS is ‘unlikely’, seemed to open the door a crack. “If there were a need and the ability to look at a senior program, we will take a look at that when it comes up,” he said. In a followup interview next day Education Committee Chair Stephanie Higginson said the Board will have to wait and see what’s in the staff report before making up their minds on how a French Immersion program at LSS will roll out, but she said the Ecole North Oyster presentation has added a perspective to the discussion. “I think that they presented some real strong information as to why it should be 8 to 12,” she said.

Council looks to air meetings

It may not be competition for Hockey Night in Canada, or Knowledge Network’s Hope for Wildlife, but Ladysmith council has asked for a report from staff on the pros and cons of providing a live internet feed of its meetings.

If the idea gets the nod, and council does go live, online, they will be up for a ratings war against the Municipality of North Cowichan, which live-streams its meetings in the Wednesday afternoon slot already.

It took RCMP about six hours to persuade a distraught man, wielding a knife, to come down from a second story roof in Chemainus Thursday, Jan. 6. The incident began at about 4 p.m. in a block bounded by Oak and Pine streets, below Maple. The man had been alone in a second floor residence, above a commercial space. North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP responded to the call and requested help from neighbouring de-

tachments to cordon off the area. Crisis negotiators were brought in along with the RCMP Emergency Response Team. “We were concerned for the safety of our members, as well as this individual’s safety, and safety of the public,” said Insp. Ray Carfantan. “It all ended very well,” he added. The man, in his early 30s, was apprehended under the Mental Health Act, and taken for assessment.

Opinion

Drug users told to take precautions RCMP and the Vancouver Island Health Authority are warning people who use street drugs to exercise ‘extreme caution’ due to a “significant increase in non-fatal overdoses in Nanaimo.” Toxicology tests conducted by the coroner’s service in Victoria have determined that fatal overdoses have occurred there, involving batches of mixed drugs including heroin, cocaine and methamphetamines and in one case, fentanyl. Similar incidents have happened in the Nanaimo area, including a possible death. The RCMP and VIHA want to alert people who use drugs to the risk. “The Nanaimo RCMP urges all users of drugs to exercise extreme caution,” said Constable Gary O’Brien, spokesman for the Nanaimo RCMP. “Officers experienced in the distribution of street level drugs are working collaboratively with our provincial partners to identify the source of these drugs.” Users in Victoria have told authorities they thought they were only using one drug, when in fact they were using mixtures that increased the risk of overdose. “In addition to the mixture of drugs, the drug supply may include fentanyl however that requires further testing,” said Dr. Paul Hasselback, Island Health’s medical health officer. Fentanyl is a synthetic drug, considered much more potent than heroin. Agencies that provide services to those who use drugs have issued notices about the risks with the current supply of illicit drugs, being distributed in the Nanaimo area. Users are encouraged to: • Avoid using alone; • Have an overdose response plan; • Test drugs by using a small sample first; • Have a Take Home Naloxone kit handy; • Tell someone what you’re using; • Call 911 immediately if you suspect an overdose is occurring. For more information visit towardtheheart.com/naloxone. Anyone wanting overdose prevention and response training, and a naloxone kit, can use the site finder to locate a Take Home Naloxone site.

Your Words “It’s an institution in the town. We’re going to miss this store. It’s an economic indicator in my mind.” Gail Myles, Page 1 / Chemainus Foods in receivership

Fireworks spark questions about logic of exemptions letters Editor: My holidays would have been a tad quieter and more pleasant had there not been two hours of fire works going on in Area A of the Regional District of Nanaimo. So I looked up the noise bylaws and was informed that fire works are excluded by the RDN. Given there are at least two commercial fireworks retail outlets in Area A, this does not surprise me. However, profit making aside, it might be time to revisit the noise by-laws and reconsider the fireworks exemption. Fireworks are not a harmless, fun filled family event. They cause many pets to quiver in terror, bolt from their homes and subsequently get lost or killed. People with Post Traumatic Stress

Disorder don’t do well with fireworks displays, especially if they are unscheduled and unadvertised. Those with migraines don’t do any better. Many small children are frightened of the noise and woken from sleep, never mind all the adults whose sleep is disrupted, many of them shift workers. Fireworks don’t do much for the well being of wild life; nor do they promote fire prevention. I suggest the regional district directors re-visit the fireworks exemption and institute some regulations. It is suggested they be restricted to ‘hallmark events’ such as New Year’s Eve. If so, no-one needs to set off fireworks for more than 15 minutes prior to midnight and 15 minutes after. If one has that much money to ‘burn’ try donating it to the food bank or your favorite charity.

There should be no private fireworks displays during periods of drought – forget July 1, the August long weekend or Labour Day, unless its in a large park with the fire department close by or out on the water. Halloween, well lets keep it from 7 to 8 p.m. It may have been a rural tradition to play with fireworks at any time of the year, but times have changed. It is 2016 and its time to acknowledge much of what was once rural is now pretty suburban. Neighbourhoods of an acre or less are not rural farms. Might I suggest the district directors have a look at restricting fireworks so that everyone can have a little peace and quiet and keep pets and humans safe. A permit to ‘play’ with fireworks at home, might be an idea. E. A. Foster Nanaimo

Two bells found and all’s well Craig Spence the chronicle

Okay, so I’m dog crazy. Especially when the dog happens to be our beloved Sophie, a golden retriever, who keeps us entertained 365 days of the year, and then some. So please forgive me if I tell a seasonal Sophie tale about ringing in the New Year in her exuberant, inimitable fashion. My partner Diana walks Sophie each morning through the trails of Wul’aam Park in Chemainus, which is just a hop, skip and a jump from our house on two legs, half that distance on four. It’s actually a misnomer to call Sophie’s dashing up and down the trail a ‘walk.’ She plunges in and out of the forest, races ahead and back, urging her plodding humans on. We decided it would be good policy to attach a bell to Sophie’s collar, to alert any deer, cougar, bears,

hares or squirrels in the vicinity of the canine whirl-wind in their midst. The first bell we tried was a Christmas decoration Di picked up at the 49th Parallel General Store, and fastened to Sophie’s collar with a twist tie; that went missing the first time out, no doubt snagged on a bush or branch. The next day, Sophie was doing her usual scramble through the underbrush, until part way through the walk she returned to Diana, the bell proudly clamped in her mouth, her eyes bright, tail held high. Amazed, we congratulated ourselves on having such a smart pooch, even as we set our minds to finding a more secure jingler to hang from her collar. Our son Ian found just the thing – an official bear bell with a Velcro strap designed to attach to the backpack of a hiker to add a little dingle to his step. A couple of days later,

Funding available for local B.C. arts festivals

The Camerata Singers are inviting people who want to join them to their Wednesday, Jan. 13 practice.

Camerata choir invites singers Singers – especially those with the ability to sight read music – are invited to join the Camerata choir at its Wednesday, Jan. 13 practice. The Camerata Singers, a community choir for men and women in Nanaimo, is gearing up for the Spring session,” says a release. “The choir consists of local

men and women who are enthusiastic about singing a variety of music from classical to folk, to spirituals, and who have fun doing so.” Lindsay Suddaby will conduct the spring session, which culminates in a final concert in early May. Recently welcomed as conductor, she has a Bachelor of Music, specializ-

ing in voice, from the University of Victoria. Practices are held at St Andrews United Church on Wesley St. in Nanaimo from 6.30 to 8.30 p.m. Several choir members travel from the Ladysmith area on a regular basis. For more information phone Chris at 250-390-9240 or Lynda at 250-591-2544.

Vogt steps in for Joubert Jan. 24

Chemainus Classical concert rescheduled from Jan. 17 after accident Producers of the Chemainus Classical Concerts series had some bad news, quickly followed up by some good, to announce for their upcoming January performance. Antoine Joubert, who was scheduled for the spot, “has suffered a concussion and has had to postpone to another season his concert featuring the Chopin Etudes planned for Jan. 17.” But classical music lovers will not be denied their January hit. The good news is that pianist Bruce Vogt has agreed to step in to replace Joubert with a concert rescheduled to Jan. 24, 2 p.m. at St. Michael’s Church in Chemainus. “Mr. Vogt delights audiences wherever he plays, and his performance experience has taken him all over the world,” says a release from the con-

Got an idea for a ‘community-based’ arts festival? Then you better hustle, if you want to apply for project assistance funding from the BC Arts Council, which will be accepting applications for the production of local arts festivals until Jan 30. “Awards under this program are intended to assist with the fees paid to professional artists and technicians engaged for the event,” says a BCAC release. “Eligible projects may include presentation of original work, existing repertoire or exhibitions, or exploration of diverse work. Festivals may feature a combination of local and touring artists.” Groups can apply for up to $7,500, with priority given to festivals that engage B.C. and Canadian artists. Application deadline is Saturday, Jan. 30, 2016, but because Jan. 30 falls on a weekend, applications postmarked Monday, Feb. 1. will be accepted. More information at bcartscouncil.ca.

The Last Word

Harper was defeated; what about Harperism? A lot of people, especially from the left side of the bleachers, celebrated when Stephen Harper and the Conservative government went down to defeat. But Donald Gutstein, an adjunct professor at Simon Fraser Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School of Communication, will be offering his views on what the defeat of Harper really means in a presentation to the 14th Annual Joseph Mairs Memorial at St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic Church Hall Jan. 24 at 1 p.m.. He will ask: Did the ideals of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Harperismâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; go down with their founder too? Gutsteinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent book, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Harperismâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; explains the fundamental transformations which occurred during Stephen Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s years as prime minister. Joseph Mairs was a coal miner who died at Oakalla Prison Farm Jan. 20, 1914. He had been serving a 16 month sentence after having been arrested during the bitter coal minersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; strike, which started at the Extension Colliery at Ladysmith in Sept. 1912. St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church is located at 1135 Fourth Avenue, Ladysmith.
