Students at Ladysmith Secondary School such as Mitchell Pozar, Jennika Erickson and Kristy DeClark (pictured) used a portion of their day off to plant trees and shrubbery outside in the high school parking lot on Tuesday, October 11. The planting is part of a beautification project ongoing at the school. NIOMI PEARSON/CHRONICLE

she is looking forward to the challenge. Patterson said one thing she would really like to see done is have an RV park back on the waterfront. “I think we lose a lot of tourism,” said Patterson, adding having the extra eyes around Transfer Beach
would also be a vandalism deterrent. However, when it comes to developing the waterfront, she wants to see it kept for the people of Ladysmith. “It is one of the most gorgeous spots and one of the few ones that is left like that.” Seeing vacant store-
fronts downtown is also a concern for Patterson, who wants to see more vibrancy. “I’d love to see it pick up …it may possibly keep people in town and get more tourists.” See Spotlight Page 3

NOTICE NORTH OYSTER & AREA HISTORICAL SOCIETY ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Wednesday, October 26, 2011 North Oyster Community Centre 13467 Cedar Road - 7:30 PM A model wearing a vintage gown was one of many taking part in a fundraiser to benefit the North Oyster Community Hall. The fundraiser was held on Oct. 15 at the Cedar Hall. NIOMI PEARSON/CHRONICLE
Growth, waterfront in spotlight from Page 1 Patterson was watching things unfold over the last 12 years as a former councillor, she is pleased with many things that have been going on in Ladysmith, including the new community services building on High Street and development around Forrest Field. Growth, she said, can be hard to handle, but thinks new neighbourhoods have been done well in the south. Horth, a long-time civil servant who has worked as an administrator with the Town of Ladysmith and Victoria, said he is looking for other ways
to give back to the community. Horth has been a soccer coach for a number of years and, now that his kids are older, is looking for another way to get involved. While this is his first foray into elected politics, Horth is ready for the experience. “It’s just another aspect of community service,� said Horth. He sees growth as one of the major issues facing Ladysmith and wants to see it handled well. “Trying to hold on to all the positives associated with that and mitigate the negatives,� he said, noting he wants to be
part of a progressive team. The key, he said, is finding a balance between the small-town feel people value while meeting the demands of a growing population, including different types of housing and transportation. The downtown and waterfront development are two issues Horth also pegged as priorities of his. In terms of parks, Horth said he wants to see a better relationship with the school district to better use some of its resources, especially with declining enrolment. “Those are some of the things I’d like to turn my

Tax exemptions examined The Town of Ladysmith and Royal Canadian Legion Branch #171 Ladysmith are currently looking at a taxing situation. The Legion has historically been exempt from paying property taxes, however, as pointed out in a council package, part of the Legion, the bar, is zoned commercial and should not be given an exemption. Section 25 of the municipal charter says the town must not provide a grant, benefit, advantage or other
form of assistance to a business. Erin Anderson, director of finance, said there is no set, across-theboard solution to the issue as some municipalities choose to grant full exemption and others don’t. However, if a full exemption is granted to the Legion and the bylaw is challenged, it puts of all the organizations listed in the bylaw at risk of not getting the exemption. Mayor Rob Hutchins and Coun. Steve Arnett removed themselves
from the table as members of the Legion, leaving acting mayor Jill Dashwood and councillors Duck Paterson and Lori Evans to talk about the issue. Paterson noted it is a hard issue to deal with and council will look to help the Legion in any way possible, including a grant. “I would like to see us be able to do it, we just have to be able to find a way to make it work,� said Paterson, adding the Legion may have to ask for a reclassification.

Light Up festival, said Paterson. Paterson said volunteering with the Festival of Lights is a great way to get involved in a cherished Ladysmith tradition. “It’s a good way to meet people, to experience the friendship and hear stories of what people did last year.”
Paterson said he has been involved with the group for a long time, and is still amazed by the stories he hears about Light Up experiences. Anyone wanting to take part should show up at the 49th Parallel Grocery on Nov. 6 at 9 a.m. or call the festival office at 250-245-5888. — Matthew Peterson

NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING STOCKING CREEK RESIDENTIAL STRATA DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL (Located in CVRD Electoral Area G – Saltair/Gulf Islands) A Public Meeting will be held as follows to consider a development application for a 7 lot strata subdivision on 3.1 hectares (7.7 ac.) of land located on Chemainus Road, south of Byron’s Store in Saltair DATE: PLACE: TIME:
Thursday October 27, 2011 Mount Brenton Centre, 3850 South Oyster School Road, Saltair 7:00 p.m.
The applicants are proposing to develop the subject property for seven 1300 m2 (0.3 ac.) residential strata lots and one 0.4 ha (1 acre) commercial lot. The subject lands are presently zoned R-2 (Suburban Residential) and C-2 (Local Commercial). The development proposes a 0.4 ha (1 acre) lot along Chemainus Road that would continue to be zoned C-2, and create a new residential zone for the remainder of the property that would permit the proposed subdivision. The development would connect to the Saltair Water System, and wastewater would be treated by a private on-site system operated by a strata council. Approximately 1.7 hectares (4.2 ac.) encompassing Stocking Creek will be dedicated as CVRD park.

Local fair to focus on health issues Matthew Peterson THE CHRONICLE
Ladysmith and area residents planning to get their flu shot this year will also have the chance to learn about a myriad of other health topics. The Fall 2011 Health and Community Services Fair will take place on Friday, Oct. 28 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Ladysmith Secondary School. Heather Dunne, site manager for the health centre, said spaces are filling up fast with more than 33 participants confirmed for the event
along with around seven presentations. The fair has traditionally catered to the local senior citizen population, since they were the ones taking advantage of the flu shot. However, as the demographic changes and more people are eligible for the shot, they are expanding the scope of the fair. “Now the flu immunizations have a broader scope ... so it’s pretty difficult not to be eligible for it.” This year some of the presenters include such topics as dementia, dia-
Quoted in the Chronicle
“It’s pretty hard not to be eligible for it (flu vaccination).” Heather Dunne, site manager betes information testing. There will also be information from dieticians, hearing clinics, the Resources Centre, the Red Cross, to name just a few, along with certain
staples such as blood pressure and cholesterol checks. There will also be crafts and games for kids and exercises. “It ranges from infants up to seniors,” said Dunne. Room is limited, but for more information please call 250-739-5777. There is a small fee to register a table to help pay for refreshments. Keep reading the Chronicle for a full list of presentations and the times so you can better plan when you’d like to attend the fair.
Sentence reached in local theft case A sentence has been reached for Brad Furlot, who pled guilty to theft over $5,000 from Telford’s Ladysmith/Chemainus Mortuary Services Ltd. Crown counsel Brad
To m l i n , b a s e d i n Duncan, said on Oct. 7, Furlot had received a two-year conditional sentence, to be served in the community. He is also sentenced to three years probation to follow and must
adhere to a curfew and counselling conditions. Furlot must also pay retribution to Telford Nault in the amount of $122,772.28 to be paid in by-weekly installments of $250.
The Electoral Area Services Committee of the CVRD Board directed that a public meeting be held to gauge the interest of the community before the CVRD Board decides whether this application should proceed to the bylaw amendment stage. In the event that does happen, there would be a formal public hearing at a later date. The purpose of the public meeting is twofold: ¿rstly, to generally familiarise the Saltair community with the proposed development; and secondly, to gather preliminary community input (questions and comments) on the proposed development. This community input will greatly assist the CVRD Directors when they consider this application.
He also had to pay $2,500 to an insurance company. Furlot pled guilty on April 26, 2011 and the crimes were said to have happened between July 2006 to November 2007.

The applicants will answer questions about the particulars of the development proposal and CVRD staff will answer questions that are related to planning policy. A summary of the proceedings will be recorded by CVRD staff, and will be presented to the CVRD Board in due course. Written submissions regarding the application may be submitted before, during, or up to one week following the meeting.

A Ladysmith coast guard auxiliary crew has been awarded a commendation for their services during a rescue mission on July 29 involving a fatal collision between a boat and a log boom. The five members of the crew; Owen P o p p l e s t o n e , Ly n n Peers, Michael Golletz, Dan Robinson and coxswain Brian Cromp were awarded at the Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary (Pacific region) AGM on September 25. “It’s very cool considering there’s thousands of missions that happen on the coast, so to be recognized as one of the top three missions of the year is quite an achievement,” Cromp said. “This particular night the weather was with us, we weren’t fighting heavy seas, we knew exactly where it was and what the extent was so we were pretty prepared for meeting the challenges we faced.” The call came in at
approximately 11:05 p.m. that night, Cromp recalled. “We could hear that there was one fatality confirmed by the crew onboard the tug and two other personal injuries and our services to get out there as quickly as possible were required,” he said. “Quite often the mission will unfold to be a bit different than what you initially perceive, but this one was definitely a medical emergency.” Once all the appropriate medical supplies were on board, the crew headed out to the scene, picking up RCMP and EMS personnel on the way. Once on scene, the member with the most advance first aid training attended the victim with head injuries while two other members went out onto the log boom to extract a passenger with a fractured leg. Night time rescue missions can prove a greater difficulty than daytime missions, Cromp said. “Whenever you have a
mission that involves multiple casualties and/ or fatalities, it always raises a fair bit of scrutiny, but given the fact that we had participated (by) applying first aid to severely injured people, worked closely with the EMS and RCMP in the middle of the night, where all was dark... it’s a very high level high stress type mission,” he said. “You don’t have roads to follow, you have to rely on all your electronic navigation.” The Ladysmith auxiliary, known as Station 29, is the second busiest station on the West Coast, Cromp said. It has about 20 active members and six active coxswains (also known as skippers, they receive special training to be able to head missions). Because of Ladysmith’s close location to the harbour, they are one of the faster responders, with a response time of about 15 to 20 minutes from call to on the water. In the past year, they have responded to about 60 calls.

YOUR WORDS “We need everyone we can get our hands on.” Duck Paterson, Page 4
T
hey’ve stepped forward and are ready to fight for your vote. Some have experience, others don’t, but there is one thing all the candidates for council have in common, they all profess a love for Ladysmith and the people in it. From there, it is hard to do wrong. So long as all the people involved in running the town are all striving to make it a great place to live, great things should be on the horizon. Sure there will be arguments along the way, it’s part of the process. Even if everyone agrees on the destination, not all will want to choose the same path. For some, new development might be a key part of achieving their vision for Ladysmith, for others, energizing the commercial sector will be vital and others will push for the preservation of lands. Most will find a balance between most of those things to varying degrees. Three people will be left out by the time all the votes have been counted, so make sure you select, back and vote for the candidates who best match your own visions for Ladysmith. And while there will only be three people on the list not sitting at the table, don’t make this a negative process of selecting the people you like the least to leave out. Some current councillors have said being a part of the team comes with a lot of sacrifice and in order to do the job, you must be willing to do your homework. Now is the time to do yours. Read the paper, talk to your neighbours and attend the debates to hear what people have to say before choosing the people who best represent you.

Green push Editor: Ms. Jacqueline Leitch-Murphy wrote to the editor of the Ladysmith Chronicle in the October 11th edition regarding what the town is doing about building green and welcomed a response. As a councillor, we endeavor to put on our ‘Green Hat’ at every possible opportunity. We want to encourage ‘green’ building whenever possible and to that end, we have mandated that new builds require the home to be wired and be solar hot water ready. We do have a solar panel on the roof of city hall. In upgrading our water system, we are putting technology onto that water line that will create hydro power and be put back on the grid. It will take seven years to create cost pay back, but the town was able to find grant funds to pay for this technology. We have just passed a bylaw to bring in reduced development cost charges in the downtown area for environmentally friendly builds. We are discussing how we can effectively, efficiently as well as be cost prudent in heating what we call institutional row, that being RCMP, public works, firehall – right down to the recreation centre. That takes time and money. Our city staff are amazing at finding grant funds. Without these, our personal property taxes would go ‘through the roof’. We are hired (voted) by the people of our community to be stewards of not only their property, but their tax dollars. Currently, we have development permits coming before council and then on to the Advisory Design Panel. Affordable housing, green build as well as permeable softscapes/native plants are looked at to name a few. We are encouraging these new and innovative technologies. Are we going far enough, fast enough? Well, that is where it hits the community in the pocket books. Green will cost more. Taxes and the cost to build will be higher. We, as your elected officials, must be prudent – look

We may be slow, but we are surely going in the right direction. We encourage people to come to town council meetings and to hear what we are doing. We have open dialogue with the community between 6:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. on the first Monday of the month. We pay taxes, just like everybody else. We want Ladysmith to be the very best place to live. We want our grandchildren to look back with pride at what legacies we have left behind. We encourage open dialogue. Jill Dashwood Ladysmith
Smart slap Editor: Are we giving away our freedom for a smart meter? What is happening to our democracy? How can our government in Victoria disregard the moratorium Ladysmith and other municipalities in the province have passed in the best interest of their residents saying NO to ‘smart meters’ ? How can the Minister of Energy, Rich Coleman, give BC Hydro and Corix the green light to continue to install these meters in spite of so much opposition? By the way, is not Corix an American company? Why is an American company doing the work for BC Hydro? Are we being tossed aside as a means to their end? The supposed ‘smart meters’ will

Artisan Village pace criticized North Cowichan candidates at odds over ease of working with government and competing with development Peter Rusland BLACK PRESS
Patience and public participation kept developer Chris C l e m e n t ’s A r t i s a n Village project alive through four-plus years of municipal hoops and Chemainiac hopes for the sprawling site. But the process surrounding the $80-million strata-housing project — starting after Christmas, pending preliminary layout approval — is being criticized by North Cowichan council candidates as a red-tape
wrangle threatened by North Cowichan plans for its own subdivision at Echo Heights public forest. And with the Nov. 19 civic election looming, debate persists about taxpayers being developers and competing against private-sector folks such as Clement. A flexible Clement saw stalled Echo Heights — its public hearing curbed until post-election — as competition, but competition he’s ready to accept. “Echo Heights is com-

petition, but there’s competition everywhere.” And Echo Heights’ hiatus gives him a head start facing fickle markets for his greenleaning 400 condos and assisted-living units offering geothermal heating, storm-water management, trails and more. “Artisan Village is a seven-plus year plan, and it depends on market conditions,” Clement said of his 33-acre project with comprehensive development zoning, that would preserve the H e r m i t Tr a i l s a n d demolish the large archway signifying the failed Pacific Rim Artisan Village project. Candidate Jon Lefebure, former mayor, explained council should wait until Artisan Village is built before starting Echo Heights. “It’s in council’s interest not to compete with Chris Clement and drive the value of lots down. “If the future council goes ahead with Echo Heights, it would be wise to proceed after his development, as that would help both projects.” Councillor hopeful Tom Masters explained market demand plus infrastructure costs
Developer Chris Clement is hopeful his $80-million Artisan Village housing project in Chemainus can get underway shortly after Christmas. PETER W.

petition to Clement. “There’s no intention of flooding the market.” Right, said administrator Dave Devana. “We have no intention of hurting Chris, that’s for sure.” N o r t h C o w ’s n e w council must also gauge demand for its 250-odd Echo heights homes — a phased mix of single family, town homes and apartments, Walker and Devana explained. While the Chemainus Residents’ Association wants the whole forest saved as parkland, council aims to preserve about half of the site. Even putting aside the Echo Heights situation, council candidates say approvals for Artisan Village were glacial — snags also faced by other developers shunning North Cowichan. “Builders tell me ‘Don’t put your money in North Cowichan; it’s not worth the hassle,’” said Balabanov. “They just get the runaround and are charged
for things they don’t need. If we don’t make it easier, we won’t get investment.” Devana was dubious. “(Artisan Village) took some time, but that’s sometimes the way it goes.” Clement cited moderate delays by a system that seemed understaffed. “It goes through a lot more hands,” he said of development plans. “There’s always some (developer) frustration dealing with municipal hall,” Lefebure said, an issue Masters emphasized. “Five independent sources found things have almost slowed to a dead stop on development issues at the hall,” he said, citing a leadership “paralysis.” “If a (plan) fits our official community plan, it should go through quickly and easily.” Meanwhile, Clement saw his Artisan Village fitting into Chemainus’ revitalization. “Our goal is to help the whole town — it needs a bit of a facelift.”

‘It’ is indescribable Chris Bush BLACK PRESS
They say there’s a point at which every Tour De Rock rider gets “it”. I and a few other riders got our first hint of “it” in Port Hardy, on our first day on the road. We were about to leave for Port McNeill when Janelle Canning, one of our tour support team, who also served as event MC and photographer, gathered us into a tight circle, arms around our shoulders. Then she told us to look up and visualize whatever or whomever was meaningful to us. This was one those times I was reminded why I don’t join clubs a n d i f t h i s w a s n ’t uncomfortable enough, she then played Sarah McLachlan’s I Will Remember You – the whole song, which is unmercifully long under the best circumstances. It was about the time we started swaying to the music and smirking as a way to get through this when I saw the hairdresser and her husband in the background, framed between the riders. He cradled her as she leaned on him weeping. She’s a breast cancer survivor. I’d watched her earlier as young members of a Junior Canadian Ranger regiment had their heads shaved to raise money against cancer. During breaks when no one was in her chair she’d step out of sight of the crowd and cry, wipe her eyes, then come back for the next shave. Watching the couple from within the circle of riders reminded me
of times in the last few years I’d seen friends and relatives fighting cancer break down, grateful for another Christmas or birthday, another day with their children or a dinner out with friends. Crying with joy for being alive and from the fear of losing the fight. Our awkward-feeling little circle and the song provided this moment for this couple and Janelle Canning, who rode with the 2009 team, got “it”. I was extremely fortunate to get on this year’s tour. It was only because of my job that I had a chance to get on at all. Police officers might apply for several years before getting on the team. It started for me as a personal challenge to see if I could surmount the physical demands of the training and tour itself. What the trainers — all former riders — can’t prepare you for is the emotional impact you’re hit with at each stop in every town and the realization of how much the tour means to cancer survivors, their families and those who lost loved ones to the disease. They come to you and share their stories in simple statements — “I’ve survived cancer twice — colon and breast cancer.” In Lake Cowichan a woman turned to me, “I lost my daughter 17 years ago. She was 14,” and the tears welled up in her eyes. A woman in her 40s in Oak Bay walked up to me outside a grocery store with tears in her eyes and said, “I’m so grateful to all of you. I lost my auntie.” Sharing their pain is their way of giving you

strength and maybe that’s they will likely ever why as a team we felt so experience. One thing for certain, strong over the hills and through the long hours in there’s nothing quite like the Tour de Rock the saddle. Then there were the anywhere else. It’s life, construction work- energy and response ers, road crews, hydro linemen, truckers and commuters everywhere, blowing their horns, cheering us on, snapping photos with cellphones and digital cameras. Some stopping our support team to hand them cash. People rushed out of their homes to wave as we passed by. Crowds of children screamed and cheered at every school we visited. Whole towns took us in, sheltered and fed us. As we rode down the Island, we were treated like heroes – a surreal feeling for a group of ordinary people riding bicycles, but the tour is like a travelling event that takes on a life of its own beyond any individual rider or the group. “We’re like a circus,” one rider said to me on the road from Campbell River. Perhaps that’s what a group of perplexed tourists from Delaware thought when they were awakened by our morning warm-up with music and sirens blaring in the motel parking lot in Port McNeil. How would I describe the tour? Practically speaking, it’s an 1,100kilometre high-output and, at times, physically gruelling bike ride that collects money to fight cancer and send children with cancer to Camp Goodtimes. But anyone fortunate enough to ride with the tour knows it’s impossible to fully describe what it really is or means other than to say it’s the most rewarding two weeks
from the public comes from and, I believe, is unique to Vancouver Island. And the tour changes everyone who takes part in it.

Kevin Thorne received the nod from the Ladysmith Camera Club after his picture was selected September photo of the month.
Fun, fashion and fundraising will be the name of the game on Friday, Oct. 28 when the Ladysmith Rotary Club hosts its second men’s fashion show dinner and auction. The show, called ‘Dawn to Dusk II’, will feature about a half dozen rugged Rotarians sporting everything from PJs to tuxedos from stores like The Bay, Danier Leather and Black and Lee. The models will be auctioned off with prize packages. “It’s going to be a good night,” said Cheryl Leukefeld, event coordinator. “It’s great fun for men and women, and the men enjoy it just as much as the women do. And it’s great to see the guys up there strutting their stuff.” There will be both a silent and live auction featuring services and items donated by the fundraiser’s beneficiary, the Ladysmith Rotary Club. “Rotary does a lot of projects throughout the year in the community, so it will go towards paying for some of the work we do,” Leukefeld said. “When we do our
fundraisers, the money stays in the community.” The Rotary Club held its first men’s fashion show in 2009. “It was very successful; we had a great night and raised $5,000 for the community,” Leukefeld said. About $1,700 of that was made by auctioning off the fashion show models, each with their own special prize package. For example, a home-cooked dinner for four, a night in a lake cabin, a snowboarding package and a gourmet meal on a yacht. Leukefeld said participants can expect a fun evening. “Having been in fashion most of my life, men shows are a bit different because they don’t take themselves as seriously as the women do, they tend to have more fun when they’re modeling and they get the crowd involved,” she said. Dawn to Dusk II takes place at St. Mary’s Hall on Fourth Avenue Oct. 28. Cocktails at 5:30 p.m. with dinner to follow at 6:30 p.m. and the show at 8 p.m. Tickets are $25 each and available at Salamander Books, Grant Jewellers and Blooms at 49th Parallel Grocery.

Good Game faces off Niomi Pearson THE CHRONICLE
Get ready for a slapshot of locker room humor as the Ladysmith Little Theatre’s production of The Good Game faces off October 26. The play, written by Roy Teed, tells the story of Zack, CJ, Pinkie and Charlie — four aging hockey players reunited for an old-timers game. “It’s a reunion game; 30 years after they won the Nestor Cup for the third and final time, they return to play the current Nestor Newtons,” said Mort Paul, director and cast member. “They’re a little nervous, because it’s been a long time since they’ve played together, and they’re also not in the shape they once were.” The play is staged in two acts — the first before the game and the second during. The characters are faced

Niomi Pearson T h e Ye l l o w p o i n t Drama group transform the Cedar Community Hall into a living classroom with their production of 1949. It captures the familiarity of those days in school learning about Canadian history, but with double the entertainment value. 1949 centres around the Mercers, a deeply rooted Newfoundland family that has relocated to Toronto, where the play is set. At the time, Newfoundland is on the verge of joining confederation and the family is morally divided at the notion of their homeland losing its independence. Adding to that is a number of sub-plots facing each character, giving the audience a plethora of stories to keep their attention. 1949 is one of several plays following the trials and tribulations of the Mercer family, and is written by Canadian playwright David French. Despite its dramatic overtones, 1949 delivers enough comic relief to keep the audience well engaged through-

He was predeceased by his eldest son Garth and daughter-in-law Marian. After working for many years as a Longshoreman in New Westminster, BC he retired in 1979 and in 1983 moved to Ladysmith where he lived the balance of his life. He was a longtime active and respected member of the Ladysmith Eagles Club. Stew was a loving and social person. One of the very best dancers you could meet he could lead anyone to greatness. His love and devotion to his family and friends will never be forgotten and his memory will live on in our hearts. Thank you to all his Doctors and Nurses and to the staff of “The Lodge on 4th” in Ladysmith. A Celebration of Life for Stew was held on October 16th, 2011 at the Ladysmith Eagles Hall.

Fondly Remembering
Alex Campbell
We’ve Got the Freshest Produce Around
Longtime Ladysmith residents will remember Alex Campbell as the owner of the 49th Parallel Grocery from 1973 to 1977. Wayne Richmond and Alex had been friends since 1960, working together at the Shop Easy on Vancouver Island, then in Vancouver Shop Easy until 1972, when they returned to Vancouver Island. Ever since Wayne and Harmina purchased the 49th from Alex and Jo, they stayed great friends and enjoyed the business relations with Alex and Thrifty Foods. Today, 49th still does a majority of its grocery and produce buying from their warehouse. Alex Campbell will be fondly remembered for his moral dedication to the Grocery industry, to the local communities on Vancouver Island, and the BC Cancer Foundation. He File Photo was a true leader who led by example, and helped carve the way for independent grocery retailers all over BC and Canada. He was well respected at work and with friends and family. He was a very kind, gentle, and giving human being. Alex built up many strong business relationships based on respect and trust, with his independent stores, suppliers, employees, and his customers. Alex passed away Tuesday October 11th at the age of 70. The Richmond family, and all of us here at the 49th, would like to convey our condolences to Jo, Lorne, Bonnie, Alex Jr. and families.
