Arbutus Hump, A view to buy for The Town of Ladysmith has postponed approval of a request by Glencar Consultants Inc. to place 141 view strata units on the slopes of the Arbutus Hump.

CRAIG SPENCE

Ladysmith balks at Holland Creek plan

Craig Spence THE CHRONICLE

Ladysmith councillors are going to pull their hiking boots on, and go take a look at the potential impact of a request by Glencar Consultants Inc. to place 141 upscale strata units on what is known as the Arbutus Hump. The proposal is part of the 55 hectare Holland Creek project southeast of the dip in Dogwood Drive, extending almost to the Heart Lake trail. Proponents of the project plan to develop 610 units there, including 300 residential lots, over the next 20 to 30 years. Included in the mix would be 141 multi-family units on the east slope of Arbutus Hump, which is located at the western tip of their wedge shaped parcel. “This is the best view location on the site,” Glenn Carey told council, “and it has the best sun exposure on the site.”

But their request to put higher density multi-family units onto the site instead of 2,000 sqr. metre Estate Single Family lots, and to push the development higher up the slope, may run counter to the Holland Creek Area Plan (HCAP), which designates Arbutus Hump as “a special natural feature and viewscape.” Director of Development Services Felicity Adams said the community’s long-term vision in the HCAP is “to protect Arbutus Hump and its hillside as park and open space.” Another consideration is provision of fire fighting services. The areas of Arbutus Hump designated as park under the HCAP are also above the 130 metre limit that can be provided with water pressure adequate for fire fighting. Carey noted in his remarks to council that the boundary being sought is 25 meters below the highest point of Arbutus Hump, which

is located on an adjacent parcel to the north. He also pointed out that a ‘finger’ of residential development has been permitted above 130 metres on the adjacent parcel. “The LAP (Local Area Plan) says the top of the Hump should be protected. We feel we have done that,” he said. If multi-family development is not permitted higher up the slope in the Glencar proposal, there will be nowhere else to relocate the density. “We would be taking a big hit financially,” he said, noting that up to 46.7 per cent of the projected multifamily units in the overall project would be lost. For Ladysmith that would translate into the potential loss of more than $1 million in Development Cost Charges; $345,000 dollars per year in property taxes; 172 construction jobs and 45 permanent jobs, he said.

News

Virus hits salmon A scientific paper released Jan. 6 ‘provides the first published evidence’ that a virus which could cause extensive damage to salmon stocks, has been detected in B.C. According to an Eco Media release the study presented “the first published evidence that a European variant of infectious salmon anaemia virus (ISAV) is present in British Columbia. “European ISAV is the most feared salmon virus in the salmon farming industry,” states the release. “When ISAV spread to Chile in Atlantic salmon eggs, there was no response to contain it. In 2007, it spread rapidly, causing $2 billion in damages, and outbreaks continue.” The consequences could be even more serious for B.C. because the virus could infect wild stocks. “Unlike Chile, B.C. has wild salmon that contribute billions of dollars to the economy through tourism, commercial and sports fishing,” the release says. “The risk of an outbreak has the potential for severe consequences in B.C., the Northwestern United States and Alaska.” Says UBC’s Dr. Daniel Pauly, one of the world’s leading fisheries scientists: “I have been following this work for many years. ISA virus is a serious matter. A member of the influenza family in open ocean feedlots is a risk Canada should not be taking on the West Coast.” The European ISA virus genetic sequence was detected in 72 per cent of cutthroat trout in Cultus Lake, home to the endangered Fraser River sockeye population. Government attempts to restore Cultus Lake sockeye through fishing bans, enhancement and habitat restoration have proven unsuccessful. “The potential that viruses such as ISAV are contributing to widespread decline in sockeye salmon populations cannot be taken lightly,” states the study’s co-author Dr. Rick Routledge. “The findings in this paper should lead to development of more sensitive screening for this specific virus.”

Malcolmson takes aim at derelict vessels Craig Spence THE CHRONICLE

Nanaimo-Ladysmith MP Sheila Malcolmson (NDP) introduced a private member’s bill in the House of Commons Thursday, Feb. 4, that would make the Canadian Coast Guard the ‘receiver’ of abandoned and derelict vessels. “This is a signal to coastal communities that there is something on the books,” Malcolmson said. Getting the bill debated will take time though. Malcolmson estimated it could take a year for it to come up for debate. And she said, as a private member’s bill the initiative can’t go as far as she would like. Private member’s bills cannot include funding, so they cannot direct specific actions on the part of government. They raise an issue as a priority, however. Right now there is no clear line of authority or responsibility when it comes to dealing with abandoned and derelict vessels. That means hazards like the Viki Lyne II in Ladysmith Harbour can sit for years while government departments avoid responsibility. “What it changes is the runaround and the finger pointing that we see from one ministry to the next,” Malcolmson said. If the Coast Guard were named receiver of wrecks, she thinks it would have to take action on boats like the Viki Lyne II. “I be-

Although her bill would be a step in the right direction, Malcolmson said she hopes the Liberal government will look south of the border for a more comprehensive solution. Boats in Washington State have to be registered, and a portion of the registration fee is used to pay for the removal of derelict and abandoned vessels . “The Washington model, as a coastal MP, is something I will continue to advance,” Malcolmson said.

Councillors to tour Arbutus Hump site

From Page 1 Carey said that the issue of water pressure could be resolved by installing a pump station as part of the strata project. That would be expensive, he conceded, “But with that view it would be affordable.” Because zoning has already been approved above 130 metres on the adjacent parcel, he added, “We’re not creating a new situation.”

Twin Gables tilting but stabilized owner says Craig Spence THE CHRONICLE

Steps have been taken to ensure that two buildings at the Twin Gables Motel site in Crofton are stable enough to remain standing. A recommendation had come from staff that one building on the site be demolished within 30 days, and that the former manager’s quarters be inspected by a professional engineer to ensure it did not need to be demolished as well. Crofton Quay Developments spokesperson Blaine Mercereau told council that steps have been taken to brace the one structure, which was leaning over 8 inches out of true; and an engineer’s report has already been obtained certifying that the manager’s quarters are not in danger of collapsing. “They’ve put some substantial cross bracing in that building,” North Cowichan Director of Development Services Scott Mack said of the first structure. He also reported that the buildings have been boarded up more effectively to prevent access. Council directed that North Cowichan’s building inspector be provided with professional engineering reports confirming the stability of the two buildings.

Opinion

Malcolmson steers us on right course Nanaimo-Ladysmith MP Sheila Malcolmson (NDP) has tabled the third private member’s bill to be heard in the House of Commons in the past year on the issue of derelict and abandoned vessels. Isn’t it about time our government got the message? Her predecessor Jean Crowder’s (NDP) bill was defeated by the Conservative majority in the House in February, 2015. West Vancouver - Squamish - Sea to Sky MP John Weston (Conservative), who introduced a private member’s bill in June, was defeated in the Oct. 19 federal election. The Liberal candidate in that election, Tim Tessier, said the time was “way past due” for the problem to be dealt with, and that he would “work with local and provincial officials to establish a plan for cleaning up the mess.” So Malcolmson has relaunched the NDP initiative, this time from the opposition side of the house, with the Liberals under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau occupying the government benches. Hopefully the House will be thirdtime-intelligent and actually pass Malcolmson’s bill. Hopefully they will do more than that, and provide the leadership and funding needed to get disasters in the making, like the Viki Lyne II, out of our harbours. That would be a start. But more needs to be done, and only the government can take the necessary measures to effectively clean up B.C.’s coast and eliminate threats to the environment and to the commercial and recreational opportunities coastal communities rely on. Liberal MPs in B.C. and their colleagues on the East Coast, need only look toward Washington State, just south of the 49th Parallel, for a possible solution. There, boats are licensed and a portion of the licensing fee goes toward the removal and disposal of abandoned and derelict vessels. It’s a model that works and one that should be considered in Canadian waters. In the meantime, we can only hope Malcolmson’s private member’s bill will be given thoughtful, non-partisan consideration.

Events sometimes conspire for us letters Editor Last Monday I was traveling down First Avenue on my way to the Post Office. For the first time in my life, I was attempting to send a letter to Wisconsin – to the KimberleyClark Company, in fact. (Home of Kleenex tissues, I hoped.) I had spent some time attempting to research their address on the Internet. No dice. I finally found a viable address on the back of a somewhat battered tissue pack. However, the tissues were well-traveled and the address barely legible. I could not tell if the printed ‘WI’ signified Wisconsin or part of something else like Washington, D.C. So I headed for the post office, hoping that a friendly postie could enlighten me. But-on the way, what do you think I spied? A Wisconsin license plate on the street directly in front of me!

Canada’s level of Are Ladysmith’s Watersheds important to you? International aid not high enough letters

Editor: During the last ten years of Conservative rule, Canada’s share of global aid became the lowest of all industrialized nations. In 2014, the only G7 country with a smaller aid budget than Canada was Italy, which had an unemployment rate of over 12 per cent and whose economy was among the worst in Europe. The usual argument for this parsimony is it’s somehow better to help Canadians than foreigners, and yet I know of no recognized ethic, religion, or accepted system of morals that says ‘only help those that live near you and forget everyone else.’ If human life has value, if we believe that every human being has potential, the accident of one’s location of birth shouldn’t be relevant. Recognizing this, Canada has pledged to spend 0.7 per cent of GDP on foreign assistance. We are now at less than half that, while our global partners have reached or are close to that goal. The second usual argument is our weak economy, but despite a deficit of nearly $200 billion, the UK still met their international obligations in 2014. At the height of the 2008 recession, Ireland increased its aid, exceeding Canada’s. The difference between 0.24 and .07 percent is a rounding error in the federal budget, yet means life and death for millions. The Conservatives and their tight-fisted policies are now gone, and it’s time to fulfill your predecessor’s oaths, Mr. Trudeau. Nathaniel Poole Victoria BC

nutsumaat syaays

Welcome Pole project at Ladysmith Secondary “We would like to bring aboriginal education to the forefront of our school’s journey. We would like to continue a conversation with our school community about truth… about reconciliation.” Those are the opening words to a poster about nutsumaat syaays, which means “working together as one” in the Coast Salish language of the Stz’uminus First Nation. It’s the spirit behind a year-long project at Ladysmith Secondary School which will see Stz’uminus master carver John Marston installing a Coast Salish welcome figure in the foyer of the school. The journey is part of the story, though, and the carving will be an educational experience and ‘transformative journey’ from start to finish. “We would like to have that 20’ tall figure carved in the foyer of our building,” says an information sheet from the school. “We would like that carving to take place in a traditional Coast Salish house in the foyer of the school, accompanied by the teachings of elders.” Said LSS Principal Margaret Olsen, “The nutsumaat syaays is an exciting project.” A grant of $10,000 from Artists in the Classroom will help get things started. Timberwest has donated a 40 foot red cedar log, which was transported to Ladysmith, where it is being stored so that it can dry naturally. Community members and partners have donated $25,000 in materials and labour. That’s a great start which “brings together the Ladysmith community with the Stz’uminus First Nation community in a year-long cultural art project,” says an information release. But more is needed – $50,000 more – to reach the $75,000 nutsumaat syaays fundraising goal. “This project cannot succeed without the kindness and generosity of our partners,” say organizers. People interested in the project, and anyone wanting to support it, can contact Moira Dolen or William Taylor at 250-245-3043.

They can absolutely devastate the vegetative cover.” Wallin said she had no knowledge of how the animals – which have been seen near Carnation Creek on the south shores of Barkley Sound – were introduced to the area. Given the nature of the region, an abandoned attempt at a pioneerstyle homestead is as likely a theory as any. Because the pigs have only been reported on an anecdotal basis, it is not known how many exist. “I don’t have numbers, and I don’t expect there to be a lot,” she said. Revelations of the pigs’ presence on the Island came during a three-day invasive species conference held this week in Richmond. Delegates reported ongoing damage to crops and property in the Chilcotin, Cariboo and north Okanagan regions, on the heels of more serious issues in the United States. Rooting wild pigs attack the eggs of groundnesting birds, destroy crops, and create erosion problems. They can also be a source of infectious disease. In an attempt to address the issue, the B.C. government declared open season on feral pigs in 2014, a situation that remains in force today. Anyone with a proper licence is free to hunt any feral pig within authorized areas. Even though the presence of the pigs on the Island seems slight, Wallin said now is the time to be concerned. She points to the American bullfrog, a species that has devastated birds and small animals throughout south Island wetlands after being introduced following a failed frog leg farm experiment. “We don’t want your pigs to become your frogs,” she said. “If the frogs were taken care of before they became a big issue, they wouldn’t be a big issue.” Pigs are not the only battalion in this invading horde.

We’re delighted with the support.” Liberal minister Scott Brison, president of the Treasury Board, responded positively to Malcolmson’s motion. “Even the Conservatives sounded like they wanted to find a way to vote in favour of this, but in the end they voted against,” Malcolmson said. “I think there’s a broad intent across all parties that we actually move on legislating pay equity at the federal level and it’s long overdue.” Her motion calls on the government to recognize pay equity as a right and strike a committee to set about adopting it across the public sector. Already in Canada, various businesses,

school boards and public unions have pay-equity models and there are varying provincial strategies. It’s patchwork, said Malcolmson, which is why a national framework is needed. She said legislation would affect not only government employees, but also areas of the private sector that are federally regulated such as banks, telecommunications companies and airports. The first steps will be to form the committee, which will then set its own terms of reference. Malcolmson expects to put her name forward, but mostly she hopes the work will start soon, “because there’s all this great momentum and goodwill.”

Using registered mail or finding other alternatives for the delivery of valuable material should also be a consideration. “What the public needs

to be aware of is being more careful of what they send through the mail,” Don Varnadore, president of Local 786 of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (Ladysmith/Nanaimo/ Parksville) said. While realizing home delivery is not a practical option in all cases, Varnadore said it is the safest option. Making sure community mailboxes are in the most brightly lit, high-traffic areas available is also important. “The more visible you can make those, the better chance you have,” he said. “Those superboxes, they are just red flags waving ‘come and get me.’”

DEATHS

Laurence Victor Morgan May 31, 1940 - January 25, 2016 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved husband and father, Larry Morgan, on January 25 at the age of 75 years. He is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Valerie, daughter Shelley (Pat) Miller, son Dean (Christine) Morgan, grandchildren, Genni, James, Ashley (Brian), Cheyenne and 4 great grandchildren. Also surviving sisters and brothers-in-laws; Jean, Bonnie, Gordon, Elaine, Reg, Glenda, Gord, Vivian, Colin and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Larry was predeceased by his parents Percy and Eileen, siblings Jimmy, Mickey and Pam, in-laws Jack and Maggie and grandson Jamie. The Morgan family had a proud heritage of being hard-workers and Larry lived up to that heritage. He was very clever with his hands and built many things out of nothing. He farmed with his Aunt and Uncle, Dave and Elsie Morgan; logged with his Uncles Kit, Cyril and Tommy Morgan and later worked at Island Phoenix (Harmac) for 37 years. He acquired many friends during his lifetime, enjoying fishing, hunting and camping trips at Nanaimo Lakes. His pride and joy were his family and friends. A Celebration of life will be held at the Eagles Hall, Ladysmith, Saturday, February 13th between 1 and 4 pm. Love you to the moon and back, till we meet again.
