News Proposed Logo
Current Logo The Town of Ladysmith is looking at updating its official logo while it’s working on the new website. A proposed logo was received at the council meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 6. The logo was sent on to the Chamber of Commerce, Ladysmith Downtown Business Association and the Heritage Revitalization Advisory Committee before approval. Tell us what you think of the proposed logo by emailing editor@ladysmithchronicle.com.

Business licence rejection appealed Island Pacific Transport goes before council to find out why their renewal was turned down by city hall Matthew Peterson THE CHRONICLE
Charlie and Dave Parhar went before council on Sept. 6 stating their case after they were refused renewal for their business licence. The owners/operators of Island Pacific Transport were informed a Quonset hut on their 4th Avenue property had not been properly cleared by Tom Skarvig, town building inspector, who made a visit in the spring of 2010. Dave Parhar, manager, said there was a visit by
Skarvig at which point the Parhars said they were told to cease any work on the hut. The Parhars did, but said they were not given a reason why and were not given any kind of notice the hut was illegal until it came to the renewal. “I had the renewal in my hand,” said Dave, who was the one who found out the licence was denied. Dave added their company is still running and are continuing to pursue the business licence. “We should have this business licence,” Dave
said, adding the whole ordeal has been stressful. The Parhars said they have no problem getting the inspection, however, there is another issue at hand — zoning. The business has been there for 35 years, but in the mid-1980s was rezoned from industrial to multi-family residential, making the property and business legally non-conforming because of the rezoning. This means any business assets on the property when the land was rezoned were allowed

also asked if they can be given a grace period to try and find a more suitable place for the new structure. A grace period, said Dave, would give them the chance to find a more suitable location for their maintenance work. Town staff will also look into setting up a bond for $10,000 (the estimated price to take it down) to allow a grace period. Dave said he is pleased they have been given the chance to speak to council. “I’m glad to see there’s

It’s out in the open and that’s the way it should be.” Mayor Rob Hutchins said this is the first time he has ever been through a business renewal hearing before, but is pleased everyone is talking and working towards a resolution. “I heard the proponent say ‘Oh, now I have a better understanding of legally non-conforming expectations,” said Hutchins of the process. A report will likely come back to council at the next meeting on September 19.

Suite enforcement plan coming The Town of Ladysmith is addressing how it will police in-house secondary suites. During its implementation of the in-house suites, council had decided to try and relax some of the design standards for current in-house suites while making sure safety standards were followed. Town staff have since
discovered they do not have the authority to do so as the BC Building Code is a provincewide document and would need approval from the province. Any changes would have to be applied across B.C. In a report to council, staff have said it is better for the town to approach it from an enforcement angle,

Ladysmith residents will be given the chance to hear from local youths pitching two different business plans for Ladysmith. The youth have been hard at work over the summer drawing up and researching proposals for either a youth clothing/skate/board/surf/ bike shop or a movie theatre. They are now getting ready to present their ideas to Ladysmith before choosing one idea to submit for a chance at a grant to make it happen. Sam Corrington, with the Ladysmith Resources Centre, said this will be a chance for the youth to involve the whole community in their work. Both teams will present their ideas and
research, which will be followed by a questionand-answer period. “The youth will be meeting the next day ... to decide which of the two projects to move forward with for the proposal.” Corrington said she is hoping participants may also want to invest in one of these projects even if they don’t get the grant, or to help launch the other idea. “Our hope is that the community will see how much effort and time these amazing youth have put into this effort.” The presentation will happen on Thursday, Sept. 15 at 6 p.m. at the Ladysmith Secondary School multi-purpose room. — Matthew Peterson

The development itself is calling for mixed residential use on 19 acres of land off Malone Road bordered by Rocky Creek and parkland to the north, a single-family residential neighbourhood to the east and the BC Hydro right of way and forestry land to the south and west. The proponent has pledged to protect the riparian areas around Rocky Creek. The proposal calls for 103 multi-family units with a density of 37 units per hectare, seven single-family lots and 24 residential lots for either single-family lots or duplexes. In addition to looking at the commercial space, council gave the OK to send the plans to the Advisory Design Panel and Advisory Planning Commission for comment and to schedule neighbourhood meetings.

Group getting ready to tidy up the tide Shoreline cleanup part of an international awareness effort Niomi Pearson THE CHRONICLE
On Sept. 17, a group of dedicated volunteers will storm Kin Beach in Chemainus for the annual Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup. Armed with plastic bags and trash sticks, the volunteers will pick up the littered remains of summer vacation off the sand and pebbles and into the garbage bin where it belongs. Chemainus site co-ordinator Arlene Robinson said more than 20 people came out to the event last year, which has been organized by the Chemainus Neighbourhood House Association for the last three years. “We cleaned up the whole of Kin Beach and we had all kinds of interesting things, even a gigantic, and I mean gigantic battery from a fish boat,” she said. “It was so big it took four people to pull it up and put it in with the other stuff.” “How it got dumped on the beach we’ll never know... maybe they thought nobody would notice because the tide was out.” Robinson said it is amazing the stuff that some people throw on the beach, such as broken lawn chairs, chunks of metal and plastic
containers. “You’re just not aware of how much garbage is going on to our beaches,” she said. “People just dump their garbage which is really sad, and pieces of broken glass, you don’t want that for your children.” The Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup takes place September 17-25 and is an international effort to help out the environment and keep shorelines free of debris. “It started in 1994 with just a handful of Vancouver Aquarium employees that cleaned the local shoreline as part of the international coastal cleanup... it spread out B.C.-wide and then in 2002 the program went national,” said cleanup manager Jill Dwyer. “Then in 2003, and every year since we have had cleanups in every province and territory.” A big part of the cleanup is education and awareness about the issues surrounding aquatic debris, Dwyer said. “Our ultimate goal is that we wouldn’t have to hold these cleanups at all anymore, because the shorelines are all clean.” Every year, cleanup sites are asked to compile data on the type of

“People just dump their garbage, which is really sad.” Arlene Robinson, cleanup co-ordinator items they are removing from the beach. From that, a ‘dirty dozen’ list is created based on the number of reoccurring offenders. “Cigarettes butts are at the top of that almost every year,” Dwyer said. “Year after year, what we see is that the majority of the garbage originates from land, and from things like recreational activities —food wrappers, plastic bags, plates, cans, bottles, cups, knives...” For the first time since 2003, there are no cleanups arranged in the Ladysmith area. Last year, a cleanup was organized for Transfer Beach park and in 2009, there was a cleanup at Ladysmith Harbour, and there have been numerous cleanups prior. Dwyer said there is still time to co-ordinate a cleanup, but the deadline to register a site is September 14. To find out more information or to register, visit http://

Opinion YOUR WORDS
No monsters here, right?
“Theatre is something that has to be part of my life in some way.” Francesca Reside, Page 17
I
t is not something that is supposed to happen in a small town. Monsters don’t live in our quiet small towns. Sure they live in backalleys of big cities, creeping between the shadows and waiting to pounce at any unsuspecting moment. Strangely they are easy to spot there, you can stay away from there. Reserve that place for your nightmares. Those monsters are not supposed to live near you walking through town living life day-to-day as anyone else. And they are not supposed to enter your home while you are sleeping and carry off one of your young children. That is the real nightmare — to put your child to bed and return in the morning only to find it empty. It was a nightmare that unfolded in front of an international audience last week when the Hebert family in Sparwood, B.C., came to the realization that their three year old son Kienan was not just missing, but likely in the hands of a man responsible for unspeakable acts. Thankfully, this story had a happy ending and Kienan was returned to his home with no apparent physical trauma. This does however serve as an eye-opener that it could as easily been in the Cowichan Valley. Nearly an entire province separates us from Sparwood, but this kind of evil does not pay attention to coordinates. Those of you with children, go home and hug them extra tight tonight. Should this ever happen here, at least you can be sure there would be the same community support shown on the eastern side of the province.

ICTORIA – B.C.’s private power producers held a news conference here in the capital last week, to plead with the B.C. government not to back down from its target of self-sufficiency in clean energy by 2016. The review panel looking at BC Hydro rates recommended that one way the utility might save money would be to change the definition of self-sufficiency. Currently that means having enough domestic clean electricity supply even in low water years. The B.C. Clean Energy Association was supported by University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver, who wants B.C. to continue to develop its unique clean energy resources. That will reduce BC Hydro’s reliance on the
open electricity market, and help to reduce demand for further coal and natural gas generation. Weaver says people still skeptical about climate change should check out the current state of Arctic sea ice. It has retreated drastically again this summer and may reach an even smaller size than it did in 2007, which was the biggest melt since satellite records became available in 1979. The five greatest ice retreats have been in the past five years. The U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Centre reported Sept. 6 that both the Northwest Passage through Canada’s Arctic and the sea route north of Russia “appear to be open.” Another supporter is Judith Sayers, a former chief from Nuu-Chah-Nulth territory on Vancouver Island, who now teaches aboriginal law at the University of Victoria. She talked about how a small hydro power project near Port Alberni allowed her people to learn business, with a light footprint on land recovering from a century of industrial logging. And she said that more than half of the First Nations in B.C. now have

some interest in a power project. Association president Paul Kariya explained how critics, notably the NDP’s John Horgan, manipulate rate figures to create an impression that independent power is hugely overpriced. One out of three proposals never makes it to production. B.C.’s second wind farm, the Dokie project near Chetwynd, went broke, then was taken over and completed by Plutonic Power Corp and General Electric. Here’s an indication of how quickly the clean energy field is evolving: This year Plutonic merged with Magma Energy Corp., which has geothermal assets in Iceland and Nevada. The merged company, Alterra Power Corp., has backed away from the vast Bute Inlet run-of-river proposal on the B.C. coast, but its nearby East Toba and Montrose river generators and the Dokie wind farm have performed better than expected. The Bute project won’t go anywhere until the North A m e r i c a n p o w e r m a rket changes dramatically. Currently the market is low, due mainly to an abun-
dance of cheap natural gas and government-subsidized wind power in the U.S. Horgan claims private investment is a nefarious scheme to create a “parallel generating system” for private profit. That seems to be his key criterion for acceptable small hydro: as long as nobody makes a profit. Professional environmentalists claim rivers have been destroyed. Their favourite villain, Ashlu Creek near Squamish, has been running smoothly for nearly two years, its critics silenced. A new run-of-river cluster around Harrison Lake has energized two remote native villages. I’ve seen these things, from construction stage to mature operation. If that’s your idea of devastation, you should get out more, and acquaint yourself with the history of logging in particular. And if you’re going to insinuate that this is political corruption, as Horgan does, you need a better case than the flimsy one he has presented so far.

Amenity debate Editor: The next town election should be on every Ladysmith taxpayer’s agenda. Although the Ladysmith council and mayor have made large improvements to the town amenities, how many taxpayers have actually given serious thought to what they mean and what the ongoing costs in taxes will be in the future. This correspondent would suggest that every one of the projects will prove to be a drain on the town treasury for maintenance. Also I would suggest that they would not have been established were it not for senior government grants. This then leads one to ask “Why is Ladysmith not taking advantage of the numerous assets which are owned by Ladysmith?� Example: The area which was once an RV parking lot but is now a hideous dumping ground on the way to Transfer Beach. The valuable land below the #1 Highway which lays fallow with no apparent plan to develop some kind of revenue producing development to bring new money into Ladysmith. The Ladysmith Maritime Society has and is doing a bangup job encouraging boats to visit Ladysmith but when the visitors arrive they are greeted with a steep bush-covered cliff which I am sure is a tremendous turn off. During the summer months one can see numerous vessels swinging on the hook across the harbour and one cannot wonder how many of them actually feel Ladysmith is worth visiting. For the last seven years this correspondent has listened to the worn-out excuse that nothing can be done until the environmental study of the harbour is finished. Now seven years adds up to one incredible study. One cannot help wondering if there is anyone that has been pushing the study people for a final report. Scuttlebutt says that the Boeing company yacht paid Ladysmith a visit and placed a huge order with a local grocery establishment. I would suggest that we
4UBZ 4BGF
would have many visits of vessels equally endowed and larger than the Boeing yacht if the shoreline amenities were developed to encourage them to stay awhile. So in the run up to our impending election I would suggest that every voter analyze those running for a seat to make sure each and every one seeking office has a large imagination and entrepreneurial ability. At present I have found that only two on council will recognize and read email messages, they are mayor Hutchins and councillor Arnett. Each and every one of the rest of council just ignore Internet correspondence. Don Harrison Ladysmith
No good from war Editor: No good can come to Canada from participating in foreign civil wars. Regardless of which side wins, outsiders will be justly hated when the war is over. The overthrow of the democratic government of Jean Aristide in Haiti was a terrible mistake and a disgrace to Canada. Paul Martin should be charged as a war criminal. The invasion of Afghanistan to support the Bush administration’s theory that the Taliban government of that country was somehow responsible for the 9/11 bombings is clearly illegal. Canada should have supported the Taliban’s offer to send Osama bin Laden for trial at the international court in Europe instead of
kowtowing to the American’s proclaimed “crusade.� The Libyan civil war will be the most disastrous for Canada. Both Canada and Libya are net exporters of oil, in competition on the world market. Except Libyan oil is much cleaner than our tarsands crude. Colonel Gadhafi is popular among many Libyans, especially the poor, because of his redistribution of the country’s wealth. Women are more free in Libya than any other Muslim country excepting Indonesia. The opposition there appears to be in rebellion to gain control of the oil and money rather than for democracy. Whoever wins, the majority will despise Canada for our participation, especially those who lost relatives and friends to Canadian bombs. Jim Erkiletian Nanaimo

If you are interested in running for Council we invite you to attend an information session on: Francesca Reside (far right) joins the Ladysmith Little Theatre family with the production of The Hollow, opening September 15.

She also happens to be in love with Edward, who in turn, is in love with Henrietta, Christow’s mistress. “She’s caught in this love triangle where she’s madly in love with this man who thinks of her as a child and he has feelings for someone else,” Reside explained. “She has to go through this stage of finding what she believes in and being strong for herself and she’s able to express how she feels and how frustrated she is with him not understanding who she is.” Reside, a technical theatre and visual arts student at Vancouver Island University, began her acting career in high school, both in front of and behind the curtains.

In 2007, she decided to branch out to community theatre, and auditioned for the Nanaimo Theatre Group’s production of Blood Brothers, in which she played a chorus member. Since then Reside has lent her experience to all but two Nanaimo Theatre Group productions, helping out with everything from lighting, to sound to make up, costumes and stage management. “Theatre is something that has to be a part of my life in some way,” she said. Eager to broaden her experiences with other theatre groups, Reside jumped at the chance to audition for The Hollow after hearing about it from director Mort Paul, who also works with the Nanaimo Theatre Group.
Reside said she has had a wonderful time at the Ladysmith Little Theatre with the cast and crew. “ I t ’s a g o o d a t m o sphere and it’s a good family that we’ve created,” she said. “We each have each other’s back and we work through things. Knowing that there’s people there for you is wonderful.” As she and her fellow co-actors work out their pre-show jitters, Reside looks forward to a good turnout and plans to audition for a lead role in the Little Theatre’s Christmas pantomime later this season. “Hopefully people will see that I’ve worked really hard and I’ve enjoyed my time and hopefully they’ll see how much fun I’m having on stage because it’s a great place to be.”

WHISKEY
1ST ANNUAL
As the curtain rises on The Hollow this week, the spotlight will shine on one of the Ladysmith Little Theatre’s newest members. Francesca Reside says her role as Midge in Agatha Christie’s tale of murder and mystery has proven the most challenging of her acting career. “I’ve loved playing children’s roles, and so going into a more mature role and working with someone in such an intense relationship has been hard but really good,” she said. The Hollow, known as one of Christie’s greatest murder mysteries, centres around John Christow (played by Rob Smith), a successful doctor who runs into a spot of trouble when his wife, his mistress and his ex-mistress all come together under the same roof at The Hollow, owned by Sir Henry and Lucy Angkatell (played by Gordon McInnis and Inge Cathers). Midge is a relative of the Angkatell family who has separated herself from the rest and the upper-class lifestyle. “She’s a working girl, whereas most of the family relies on inheri-

Crowe flies home for Ladysmith concert Niomi Pearson THE CHRONICLE
On Friday, Sept. 23, Allison Crowe and Lena Birtwhistle will share the stage for a celebration of love, music and home. According to Crowe, the Autumn Show got started when local resident Jayse Van Rooyen sent her a letter about the upcoming anniversary of Sue Bonde and Guy Wolfe, Van Rooyen’s mother and step-father. The couple are avid Crowe fans and Rooyen was eager to surprise them with a special concert. Crowe, who’s comp a n y, R u b e n e s q u e Records celebrated its 10-year-anniversary in August, was happy to agree to a performance, as she was already coming back to visit her hometown of Nanaimo to do some recording. “I had been planning to do some sort of show at some point
somewhere,” she said. Cue in local musician Lena Birtwistle, who has opened for Crowe’s West Coast concerts for the past five years, and a show was born. “It will be a heartfelt, moving night,” Birtwhistle said. “A lot of laughing, lots of very powerful music and probably a lot of good vibes.” Both Crowe and Birtwhistle will perform their sets on guitar and the church’s grand piano and plan to play a mix of originals and covers. “That will be really awesome for me. The only time I ever get to play on a grand piano is when I’m opening for Allison,” Birtwhistle said. Birtwhistle recalls feeling both nervous and excited during her first time opening a concert for Crowe. “I thought ‘Wow, she’s so powerful’,” she said. “We connected
then and we’ve stayed in touch the whole time since and it’s so great to see her every time she comes back because she’s so fun and quirky.” Like many musicians, Crowe was gifted with a passion for music at a young age. “I always loved it and when I was little I grew up around a lot of music,” she said. “At family parties I always saw people playing music and I wanted to do that myself, and then I did. I was performing professionally before I graduated high school.” “I was always into band and all the musical classes and theatre, often, to the detriment of my studies.” Now a resident of Newfoundland, Crowe tours primarily Eastern Canada and Europe but is always eager to come home to friends and family.

School Recycling Program provides schools with the tools and resources to make recycling easy, convenient and profitable. Schools keep 100 per cent of the deposit refunds for each container collected and the program costs the schools nothing.
The schools are grouped into categories, based on enrollment, and the schools that collect the most containers in each category win extra cash prizes. This coming school year the prize money has increased. First prize will be raised to $1,000, second prize $750 and third prize $500.

Local grand master inducted into taekwondo hall of fame Niomi Pearson K m Te Ki T h, an eighth deg egrreee bbllacck beelt, is a Taekw kwoon kw ondo halllll of fa ha fame inductee. e. e.
THE CHRONICLE
Grand Master Kim Teh can still recall the insurmountable feeling of competing in the first World Taekwondo Championships in Korea in 1973. At only 26 years old, Teh had already earned his third degree black belt and was at the pique of his physical competitiveness. He would lead his team to a sixth place finish that day. “ We w e r e p r o u d that we had attained a standard that we could compete with on the world stadium,” he said. “It was quite a privilege to be chosen. At that time I was living in Singapore, so I was chosen as team captain, and I competed among 20 nations. It was a nice feeling.” Teh said he had just returned from a trip to Korea to receive his eighth dan (degree) black belt certification when he received the news that he had been inducted into the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) Hall of Fame in June for his participation in the tournament. He was flown out for the induction ceremony at Kukkiwon, also known as taekwondo headquarters, on August 25. “It was huge because I didn’t expect it in the first place and I got to see people I have not
seen for 38 years, and people I competed with,” he said. The WTF was formed following the championships in 1973 and has grown to a 200 country membership. There are about 70 million people of various skill levels practicing taekwondo worldwide. “At a higher degree of blackbelt, what they want you to do is propagate the art throughout the world.” Though he no longer competes, Teh has dedicated himself full time to passing on his mastery of taekwondo at his dojang, Outreach Martial Arts in Ladysmith for the last 22 years. He is also responsible for developing taekwondo into programs at Vancouver Island University, where he teaches once a week. Teh said he first became interested in taekwondo as a form of self-defense against

the bullies at school, but quickly learned of its other benefits. “I became addicted to the exercise and conditioning,” he said. “It became a passion for me.” In addition to building character, physical fitness and respect for others, taekwondo operates on the five tenants of courtesy, integrity, self-control, perseverance, and indomitable spirit. “It is a very good program for kids that are growing up and looking for some kind of conditioning regimen,” Teh said. “It is a good supplement to other
sports like hockey, and baseball.” Teh will be eligible to return to Korea for the ninth and final dan black belt in nine years. To earn that belt he will have to sit through a theory test, an interview and write a thesis on how he has contributed to the sport. “Nine years is a long time,” he said. “I’ll take one day at a time to see how I can promote taekwondo.” Teh said he would like to work on incorporating Taekwondo into the elementary and high school systems.

BSc, MD It is with sadness that we announce the passing of our brother Benny on September 2, 2011. He is at peace now after a long battle with cancer. Life began August 26, 1941 in Docou Village of Kowloon, China. In 1948, Benny, Allen and Mom reunited with our dad in Chemainus. Here is where he grew up with his ďŹ ve brothers. Benny graduated from U.B.C. with a medical degree, completed his internship in Spokane, Wash. and then went to McGill to become an internal surgeon. Benny was well respected in many parts of Canada, including Tuktoyuktuk, Labrador, Montreal, Vancouver, Ladysmith, Cowichan and Nanaimo where he applied his profession. Predeceased by his younger brothers Johnny and Frank, Mom (Kwan Heing) and Dad (Tei Tai). He will always be fondly remembered by his brothers and their families; Allen and Janice, Jimmy and Peggy, Gordon and Florence, Harry and Suzanne, Ronald and Miho and many nieces and nephews. Thank you to the medical staff in Cowichan and Nanaimo for the care they extended to Benny. Visitation was held at Telfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of Ladysmith, 112 French Street, Thurs.
