❝ Farmers want to grow Throne Speech promises Craig Spence THE CHRONICLE
Farmers on Vancouver Island, and in the Cowichan Valley and Cedar areas were happy to hear agriculture mentioned in the Throne Speech, delivered by Lt.Gov. Judith Guichon on Tuesday, Feb. 9. They don’t need convincing that agriculture is a key sector in B.C.’s economy, even if it represents a fraction of the dollar value generated by resource industries like forestry and mining, and doesn’t have the new age allure of high tech. So now the seed has sprouted, they are more than happy to provide a little fertilizer and water to make sure it grows into the sun-

How much has homegrown been overshadowed in B.C. by imports from agribusiness titans like California and Mexico? “Vancouver Island used to produce 85 per cent of its own foods in the early 1900s” said Mayta Ryn, president of the NanaimoCedar Farmers’ Institute. “Now I think we produce seven per cent.” So as far as she is concerned, we have a long way to go, getting back to square one. Guichon said the Liberal government under the leadership of Premier Christy Clark is committed to: • increasing financial support for the Agricultural Land Commission; • offering tax credits to farmers

who donate food to non-profit organizations; • encouraging and supporting British Columbians to “Buy Local, Grow Local.” Laurie Gourlay, president of the Vancouver Island & Coast Conservation Society said the Liberal government’s attention to supporting local agriculture is welcome. “This is what we need, more attention to local food production,” he said. He confirmed the narrow slice of the sales pie chart Vancouver Island farmers occupy, and said the time is ripe for turning things around. “I’m not sure we could get back to 60 or 70 per cent in the next year, but we could do it in the next 10 years,” Gourlay said.

N. Cowichan considering easing light industrial tax? North Cowichan Council is considering a bylaw that will shift 20 per cent of property taxes currently paid by Light Industrial ratepayers “equally across the remaining eight property classes.” The proposal was to be considered at a Committee of the Whole meeting Feb. 11 in council chambers. Councillors will consider the shift in the context of an overall 2.51 per cent ‘net tax increase’ for the municipality. A report to council from Mark Frame, director of finance, says North Cowichan is in a position to reduce its net tax increase from an initial projection of 2.96 to 2.51 per cent. It goes on to say: ”Council identified a review of the Class 5 Light Industry tax rate/ratio as a priority for 2016 in order to improve competitiveness. “Based on this priority, tax distribution options have been provided that reduce taxes for Class 5 – Light Industry.”
Library board, and CUPE 401 settle on five year contract to Dec. 2019 The Vancouver Island Regional Library and its CUPE 401 employees have settled on a collective agreement which will cover the five year period ending Dec. 31, 2019, says a VIRL media release. CUPE members voted in favour of a ‘memorandum of agreement’ Feb. 5. The collective agreement was settled with the assistance of a mediator between the VIRL and CUPE 401 Jan. 14. The VIRL Board of Trustees 38 members ratified the agreement at its January Annual General Meeting. VIRL’s CUPE 401 staff had been without a contract since Jan. 1, 2015.

Fed grant and loan funding Ladysmith sewage treatment Craig Spence THE CHRONICLE
The Town of Ladysmith hasn’t waited around for the official announcement, but they are glad to see $1 million of federal grant money, plus a $10 million low interest loan, coming its way to go toward completion of an upgrade of the municipal sewage treatment plant. The upgrade will see Ladysmith achieve secondary levels of sewage treatment, with a plant capable of accommodating a population of up to 30,000 people. That will meet federal and provincial regulations for the discharge of effluent into marine environments for the foreseeable future, said John Manson, director of infrastructure services. “It means we will eliminate over 90 per cent of RCMP investigate fire damage at the Cedar Valley Memorial Gardens, one of three suspicious fires that TERESA MCKINLEY took place Sunday night, Feb. 14, and early Monday morning. the solids that are in sewage,” he said.

Quality Foods Expands Presence to View Royal Quality Foods, which began in 1982 as Qualicum Foods in Qualicum Beach, expands their award-winning grocery shopping experience in the Greater Victoria region in just a few short weeks. As one of three founding partners, Ken Schley believes the time is right for a move into View Royal. “We’re very excited to expand our unique brand of grocery retailing to residents of View Royal and the surrounding communities,” states Schley. ”Eagle Creek Village is destined to be an active hub for the area, and we’re thrilled to be the grocery store for this vibrant multi-use development.” The island-owned grocery company opened their QF WestShore location in Langford, their first foray into the Capital Regional District, in July 2014. “The Western Communities have welcomed us with open arms, and we couldn’t be happier with the relationships we have established in the community so far.” Quality Foods has a well-established presence on Vancouver Island with ten stores north of the Malahat, and another in Powell River. The new 45,000 square foot QF View Royal location positioned on Helmcken Road raises the store count to thirteen. Schley anticipates that it may potentially appeal to residents beyond the Western Communities. “With our close proximity toVictoria General Hospital, we feel that a more diverse group of people will have the opportunity to experience our unique brand of grocery retailing, and hopefully continue to shop with us over time.” “We will have all of the same features available to shoppers that has made our Langford store an award-winning shopping destination,” says Schley, “with the additional mezzanine floor which will be home to A Step Above, our signature store within a store featuring the best in kitchen, home décor and giftware.” Thursday, February 25 at 10:00 am is the selected time for the official ribbon cutting and opening doors to the general public. A special sneak preview evening, on Wednesday February 24, has been set aside for seniors aged 65+ and those with mobility issues to beat the crowds and experience the store beforehand. “We are proud of the result of nearly thirty four years of learning, innovating and tweaking that has culminated in what we believe to be a flagship independent store in the grocery industry. The powerful blend of information we have accumulated from our customers’ feedback, applying new methods of doing things - from technology to work flow - and being open to change, even when it’s difficult, has made us stronger as store operators and as people over the years.” For more information, please contact: Rob MacKay rob@qualityfoods.com
Wounded Warriors run here on Feb. 27 The Wounded Warrior’s Run, which sets out from the northern tip of Vancouver Island Feb. 21, and finishes up in Victoria Feb. 28, will be in Ladysmith Feb. 27 at about 11:30 a.m. Participants will cover about 600 km over the seven days, stopping in at Legion halls en route, and raising awareness about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) along the way. “The goal is not to raise money… but to connect and raise awareness of PTSD. We want to tell people it’s okay to ask for help,” said Jeff Kibble, public relations officer with the run in a Feb. 10 report. He added that PTSD may not be visible, but has taken a toll on veterans of all ages, in addition to first responders.

MAN AIDED, THEN BUSTED A 49 year-old man was attended to by police and first responders Jan. 7 at 11:34 p.m., after he was reported overdosing on heroin. He was unconscious when first responders arrived on the scene, but regained consciousness before being taken to Nanaimo Regional General Hospital for treatment. Checks by police revealed the man was wanted on an outstanding warrant. Nanaimo RCMP were contacted and later arrested him at the hospital. PAPERLESS HORSE TRADING CAN BE RISKY The RCMP are cautioning people to get things in writing “to avoid the pitfalls and frustration” of verbal deals that can lead to misunderstandings. The warning was issued after a Jan. 11 incident when RCMP were called to investigate a report of a stolen horse from the Hallberg Road and Vowels Road neighbourhood. “After an investigation was conducted it was determined that there was a misunderstanding between the owner and another person for the care and medical treatment provided to the horse, in exchange for the selling price of the horse,” the RCMP report says. “The matter was determined to be a civil case and not criminal.” Police warn that verbal agreements can be considered contracts, but they are often hard for any agency to enforce, and lead to misunderstandings and court costs. So get it right in writing, even if you do live on ‘Vowels’ road in the Hallberg neigh…bourhood. MAN CHARGED WITH ASSAULT WITH A WEAPON A man has been charged with assault with a weapon, and uttering threats after an incident involving a 32 year-old woman at home with her two yearold child Jan. 20. RCMP responded to the incident, which occurred in the 12000 block of Ivey Road at 6:40 p.m. The suspect had already left the scene when police arrived. Matthew Michael, 31, was arrested later and a weapon was seized. LOCK YOUR SHEDS AND VEHICLES Numerous thefts, ranging from motorcycles, to hand tools, to loose change, and ‘various other items’ were reported between Jan. 26 and 30 along Chemainus Road and ‘associated side streets.’ “These thefts generally occurred in the late evenings and early morning hours,” RCMP report. A grey or silver Dodge diesel engine, full size pickup truck was seen leaving one scene at about 4:30 a.m., states the RCMP report. There was also a report of a man of medium build, about 5’8” tall, in the Branksome Road area at 3:30 a.m. on another occasion. The man wore a hoodie and hiking boots. If you have any information about these cases or other crimes, contact the Ladysmith RCMP at 250-245-2215 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Clark holds her course speech says
www.chemainuschronicle.com
YOUR WORDS
“What makes these bunnies magical is... the fact that others add to the display for the joy of all.” Shellie Fischer Trimble, Page 7 / Rabbit figurines have a history
Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS
Premier Christy Clark has doubled down on her election promise to pay off B.C.’s debt with revenues from liquefied natural gas exports, despite delays in proposed projects in the face of a global glut of oil and gas. “Success is not for quitters,” declared the government’s speech from the throne, delivered Tuesday by Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon to open the spring session of the B.C. legislature. “It is not a choice between keeping B.C.’s natural gas industry stable or deciding to grow it,” the speech said. “We must begin to export, or the 13,000 people who depend on this industry today will be out of work.” NDP leader John Horgan said B.C. Liberal losses in two Lower Mainland by-elections show the public isn’t buying Clark’s promises of prosperity. “The premier said three years ago she was going to create 100,000 jobs with an LNG industry,” Horgan said. “Today she said she hopes to save 13,000 jobs.” One new initiative in the speech is a renewed focus on food production, including an expanded “buy local, grow local” effort involving local governments and community organizations. Farmers are to be offered a tax credit for donating food to non-profits, and an agrifoods conference is to be held in Kelowna in November. The speech restates the government’s intention to implement recommendations from former deputy minister Bob Plecas to hire more child protection social workers and modernize the Ministry of Children and Family Development. “That work must begin with ending the culture of blame that exists for those public servants with the most difficult role,” the speech says. With an election scheduled for 2017 and the last full budget before it to be presented Feb. 16, the speech repeats the phrase “stand up for B.C.” that could emerge as a re-election slogan. It also refers to “getting to yes,” a phrase Clark has used frequently in relation to LNG.

Forgotten taxes should be properly looked into letters Editor: Allegations have been made that realtors have been flipping houses so quickly they ‘forgot’ to pay the taxes, which are required every time a house is sold. Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development Peter Fassbender says he will have the Real Estate Council of B.C. look into it. As I understand it, the Real Estate Council is made up of real estate agents. What Fassbender is planning, in effect, is having those who may be at fault, looking into a situation. When perhaps tens of millions of dollars are not paid to the government it
is a police matter, and a police investigation ought to be conducted. If required forms are not completed, that is a matter for the police. There are issues here which may include fraud, tax evasion, money laundering and so on. When the average citizen is suspected of these crimes we can expect a call from the police. Real estate agents, not so much. Their college gets to decide if they did something wrong. If this is Premier Christy Clark’s idea of “sticking to the plan”, it’s time she plans on a new career, along with Fassbender and Finance Minister Mike DeJong. We, the taxpayers, are being ripped off. E.A. Foster Nanaimo
Figures tell the Alberta story Editor: The unemployment rate as of Feb. 7 in Calgary was 7.9 per cent, up from 4.8 per cent in 2015; Edmonton is at 6.5 per cent, up from 4.8 per cent. Northern Alberta is at 12.5 per cent, up from 8.6 per cent; southern Alberta at 8.1 per cent, up from 5.4 per cent. Alberta, once known as the province of well paying jobs, now has the highest unemployment rate in Canada, at 7.4 per cent. Canada’s national rate is 7.2 per cent; B.C.’s 6.6 per cent.

The bunnies were put on Davis Road just before the Christmas of 2013. My husband and I were cleaning the yard out, and thought someone would like the bunnies, so placed them by our front driveway for someone who might enjoy them. But they stuck around, and when the first snow fell, a neighbour must have taken pity on the little guys and wrapped a red scarf around one of the bunnies’ necks. It was cute, and was even better a few days later when another mysterious neighbour placed some baby Christmas socks on the ears of the rabbits, like little toques. When we saw the children

B&B ‘Red Chair’ in Ladysmith Feb. 20
Ideas wanted about where the famous seat should go for best tourism promotion The Red Chair is coming to Ladysmith, and Hawley Place B&B owners Rhonda and Ed Shirley are looking for your ideas about where to take it. From Feb. 20 to 26 one of the world’s most famous pieces of furniture will be placed in various Ladysmith and area setting, where it will be photographed, with the descriptions of its sojourn here placed on the RedChairTravels.com web site. “Bed and breakfast hosts photograph The Red Chair at some of the favourite spots that our guests come to see and experience, and then post the photos on the internet to promote both our beautiful area and our bed and breakfast,” said the Shirleys. The project has been ongoing since the winter of 2011, with most
of the Red Chair’s stops in the United States. But this winter the chair is in BC, traveling in the Lower Mainland, ThompsonOkanagan and on Vancouver Island. The Shirleys hope to make its Ladysmith stay memorable. “With the Red Chair in tow, we are hoping to make an adventure of places and people while promoting our beautiful seaside town and area,” they said. They will be taking a stroll along First Ave., “stopping for a cinnamon bun, and possibly Ed and Rhonda Shirley on the front porch of their B&B Hawley Place a lunch or refreshment will want to make, said A trip out to Yellow- see and do, and the at one of our local res- the Shirleys, “and now point is certainly in Shirleys are looking taurants” before mak- that the Ladysmith Arts the works, with a walk for suggestions.

The Clean House = a messy state of affairs Ladysmith Little Theatre takes on our fetishes, phobias and foibles Craig Spence THE CHRONICLE
To really earn the praises of your fans, you have to take chances, and Ladysmith Little Theatre has done it again with its production of The Clean House by Sarah Ruhl. This is one of those plays where the humour – as the best, most sophisticated humour usually does – cuts pretty close to the nerve. It teeters on the brink of not being funny, which makes it both hilarious and poignant. Director Brian March has done a skillful job interpreting the nuances of this play. It pits the neuroses of middle class North American culture against the wild, carnival streak of Latin culture in the form of a Brazilian housekeeper, Matilde (Larissa Coser), who has been hired by a doctor couple, Lane (Kathleen Ramsay) and her husband Charles (Vic Duffhues) to dust, clean and generally tidy up. Problem is, Matilde doesn’t like house-
cleaning; all she’s interested in is developing her comic routine and coming up with the best joke in the world. Enter Lane’s underachieving sister Virginia (Wendy Wearne), for whom housekeeping is the only escape from the fear and loathing of self awareness, and the cast is almost complete. All that’s needed to round it out is a Sisters Virginia (Wendy Wearne) and Lane (Kathleen Ramsy) in The Clean House. glamorous and unThursday, Feb. 11, turing the fiery Latin avoidably sexy fellow took for love in her Portuguese-speaker husband’s eyes when was opening night, and temper in her perWendy for Charles to fall in they were young up- the first few scenes formance. love with, and Matilde and-comers was only were a bit shaky.

DEATHS
LUKASCH, Oskar Karl March 6, 1930 – February 3, 2016
Oskar Karl Lukasch Born in East Germany on March 6, 1930 and passed away suddenly on February 3, 2016 at the Cowichan District Hospital in Duncan, BC. Predeceased by his loving wife Sonja in 2008. Survived by his son Peter (Veronica) Lukasch, grandson Thomas Lukasch, great granddaughter Payton and his sister Heidi. Oskar’s family fled Czechoslovakia during the Russian advances during the end of WW 2. He settled close to Wertheim, Germany (south of Frankfurt) where he worked in a brewery. In 1949 he took on an apprentice ship as a cabinet maker/finish carpenter. Oskar married Sonja Kuch in 1955. They had one son Peter born in 1956. Oskar and Sonja immigrated to Vancouver in late 1956 and he worked in his trade at B.C. Hardwood & Millwork in the west end close to Stanley Park. He then moved to Saltair, close to Porters Farm and 2 years later to Maple Bay. Oskar worked for M&B during the construction of the Bare Point generating station in Chemainus, and also at BCFP in Crofton during construction of the Kraft Mill. He then worked as an equipment operator in the Chip Supply department. He then moved back to Saltair in 1964 where he lived in a house that he built himself and would become their permanent home. Sonja passed away in 2008. Oskar retired in 1990 after over 33 years in the Crofton Pulp Mill. Oskar and his wife Sonja loved to travel with many trips to Hawaii, Mexico, California (Palm Springs was a favourite), cross Canada, Australia & Europe. Oskar loved the outdoors and the simple pleasures in life. He and Sonja lived a healthy active life. Cutting and stockpiling firewood was one of his pleasures. He had a keen interest in anything mechanical and enjoyed maintaining his vehicles to perfection. He was a tireless worker and all projects were done in a meticulous manner, with great craftsmanship and attention to detail. I cannot ever recall him doing a job twice. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Irene Kroke, Gordie McAulay and Deane Thorpe for helping Oskar and his grandson Thomas for being with him at the end. Thank you also to Lisa, for being his walking buddy and to his excellent and kind neighbours on Gardner Road in Saltair. No service by request.
