The choice of Ladysmith was an easy one. “It’s picturesque,” he said. “There’s no doubt about it.” “We’d love to come and film the entire thing in Ladysmith, but it’s too far which makes it too expensive.” Rayman said he has received a lot of support
for filming in Ladysmith, though he realizes there are some concerns about the disruption. “It employs a lot of local Island people. So it’s great that way.” Rayman said the film will also help highlight our town and teach people a thing or two about Ladysmith. “I’m learning all sorts
of great things about Ladysmith,” said Rayman. And while he understands Ladysmith does not play itself in the movie, the exposure should be a benefit. “We have a respect for what is here and are appreciative of the fact people are allowing us to work in their community.”

THE CHRONICLE
Ladysmith RCMP have a suspect believed to have destroyed a 35-foot boat off of the beaches near Slack Point Monday, August 1. Cpl. Doug Brayley said police are collecting evidence, and arson is being considered a cause at this time. “We have a suspect and charges are being contemplated,” Brayley said. The fire took place at approximately 4:30 p.m. Monday afternoon. So far, the investigation reveals that the male went down to Slack Point and yelled threats. Smashing glass was later heard on the back of a boat and the male was seen driving away in a Blazer, narrowly missing pedestrians in the area. Witnesses observed a flame about the size of a 45 gallon drum on the boat and it was soon engulfed.

David Ryan Pringle, 33, was killed Friday, July 29, when the 15-foot recreational powerboat he was driving hit a log boom while returning from Tent Island. The force of the impact sent the boat airborne, dumping Pringle and his two 25-year-old male passengers onto the boom.

ASK THE EXPERTS v AUTOMOTIVE
Q. What maintenance on my vehicle should I do before my holiday? You should always keep your vehicle wellmaintained. This is especially important during the summer because that’s when you’re most likely to take road trips. Investing a little time and money upfront will help ensure your car does not leave you stranded at the side of the road. That’s good planning. Flush and refill the cooling system . Have drivability problems, such as hard starts, rough idling and stalling, corrected. Check the tightness and condition of belts, clamps and hoses. Change the oil and oil filter and replace other filters as needed. Check the condition of tires, including the spare. Let tires cool down before checking air pressure. Inspect all lights and bulbs; replace burned-out bulbs. Replace worn wiper blades and keep plenty of washer solvent on hand to fight summer’s dust and insects.

FLORIST
Q: I like to always have a vase of flowers in my house — what care do they need to keep them lasting? A: The first thing to do is recut the stems and remove any foliage that is below the water line; arrange your flowers in a clean vase with cool water adding floral preservative. If there are water tubes on roses, remove them first. Display in a cool location, away from direct sunlight. Every 2 to 3 days recut the stems and change the water. This prevents bacteria from forming and will keep your flowers looking lovely longer!

PETS
Q. Do I need to do anything special for my pets in the summer? Never leave your pet in the car. If you need to run some errands, leave the furry ones at home. Water, water everywhere. Your pet needs access to lots of fresh water. Pets need sunscreen too. Keep your pet out of the sun between 10 am and 4 pm, and when you do go out, rub a bit of sunblock on unprotected areas like the tips of her ears, the skin around her lips, and the tip of her nose. Keep your pet well groomed , hair was designed to protect from the sun and insulate from heat. Be cautious on humid days. Humidity interferes with animals’ ability to rid themselves of excess body heat. Make sure your pet doesn’t overexert herself. Keep the walks to a gentle pace and make sure she has plenty of water. Bring them inside. Animals shouldn’t be left outside unsupervised on long, hot days, even in the shade.

If you want to know what’s cooking, look no further than Ladysmith resident Lyndsay Wells. Wells is the recent winner of the Real Women of Philadelphia contest, and for the next six months, thousands of Canadians will tune in to the online show where she and three other winners provide mouth-watering recipes and innovative ideas about how to enjoy your food using cream cheese. The four winners each host a different category — appetizers, side dishes, entrees and desserts. Wells was named entree host after her creamy pistachio and mango chutney pork tenderloin won first place at the Real Women of Philadelphia cook-off in Toronto on July 4. Wells was one of 16 selected from thousands of entrees to participate in the cook-off hosted by celebrity chef Anna Olson. “It’s certainly big shoes to step into,” Wells said of her role. “We’re real women and we’re not celebrities so there has to be something interesting about us that’s going to make people relate to us and want to be a part of this.” Wells shot a number of professional videos in Toronto shortly after being named entree host. The Real Women of Philadelphia is broken down into different weeks for each category. On entree week, August 15, Wells’ video will be broadcast along with videos she has taken here at home. In one video, Wells talks about preparing a pic-
nic for two and uses Transfer Beach as the backdrop. “I love Ladysmith and I love Transfer Beach,” she said. “If I have outof-town guests, I always take them to Transfer Beach for a picnic, so getting the chance to show the country a little bit of what’s in our neck of the woods was really fun and I’m looking forward to doing more of that.” Wells, who works for the Central Vancouver Island Crisis Society in Nanaimo, said she has always had an interest in food and cooking. “I come from a family of really great cooks,” she said. “I got really interested myself after I got married in my mid20s and I got interested not only in cooking, but learning about food and food preparation and how to create recipes myself.” For the last three years, she has shared her culinary skills with the world through her online blog. “What I noticed was, even when I wasn’t food blogging, food was always showing up. So I named it the Kitchen Witch and it’s devoted to creating magic with everyday ingredients and coming up with your own recipes,” she said. Wells said the contest came at a time in her life where she was already trying to get back into health and fitness. “When this contest came up, I thought ‘can I continue losing weight but still be in a contest cooking with cream cheese?’ But I discovered that I could,” she said. “I didn’t eat every single thing in sight and so during the whole

She plans to use some of the money for philanthropic purposes, and the rest for a Cooking Tour in Italy or a kitchen renovation. In her spare time, Wells does her best to keep up on her Kitchen Witch blog a few times a week, and often what’s

for dinner in the Wells home ends up on the blog. “My husband hasn’t eaten a meal in three years that I haven’t photographed before he gets to eat it,” Wells laughed. Wells’ stint as host of the Real Women of Philadelphia ends December 31. “I’ve got 18 weeks to be host and I want it to be 18 of the most fun-filled weeks of my life,” Wells said. “If life goes back to normal and I carry on with my work and my life, what is going to happen in my life and what I am going to continue doing is just living life, getting out there, taking chances, doing new things and seeing where the winds of life take me.” For more information, visit www.realwomenofphiladelphia.ca

NIOMI PEARSON/ CHRONICLE “ Building Investors Wealth for over a Decade”
Smart student studies science Niomi Pearson THE CHRONICLE
While many of her classmates spent the better part of their summer at the beach, Risa Convey was touring the Brain Research Centre at the University of British Columbia and conducting research experiments alongside some of the university’s brightest. The 17-year-old was one of only 10 Grade 11 students across B.C. and Yukon to participate in the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s high school summer research program in July. “It was amazing, it was a life changing experience,” Convey said. “You come from your classic high school chemistry lab, you’re using basic equipment and they just transplant you into this lab where everything’s really high-tech and science-y and you feel really cool.” Each student is teamed up with a researcher at UBC or St. Paul’s Hospital. Convey found out about the program through pamphlets at Ladysmith Secondary School. To be eligible to apply, a student must have a grade of 90 per cent or higher in biology
11 or 12 as well as an 86 per cent average in two additional science/math courses. “You hope that you’re going to win, but you really don’t know,” she said. “It was a real privilege to be able to head over there this summer and participate.” From July 2-23, Convey worked under the supervision of Ph.D student Diana Lim, who is currently working on neurological activity and circuitry in the mouse brain. “Three weeks is a very short time in the science world. So while I was there I got to help her with an experiment where we injected chemical tracers into the brain of a mouse, and then after a period of a week we were able to take a look at the brain and stain it using a process called anti-body staining to reveal where the tracers had gone in the brain,” Convey explained. “We were targeting the mouse hind limb and we located it using intrinsic optical signal imaging, and we stimulated the animal’s hind limb.” Convey said the high point of her trip was making the injection into the mouse’s brain. She noted that all measures are taken in the labora-

tory to keep the process humane and minimally invasive. “The whole purpose of this and how it relates to cardiovascular disease is, in the brain, you’re looking at stroke recovery and predicting stroke deficits - where it’s going to happen, that sort of thing,” Convey said. “And part of that is by seeing how hind limb was connected to the different regions, we can hypothesize that if we were to induce a stroke in the hind limb area, we wanted to see what other parts of the brain would be able to take over and help you regain function of that limb.” The students also participated in a number of other activities including observing an open-heart surgery. Convey said the experience has broaden her potential career path, though she has considered the medical field for some time. “I realized that neurological research is very cool, another thing about it that I really liked was it’s a broad science.” Convey wants to pursue a bachelors in science, but as she prepares for Grade 12, she will have a whole year to decide if a career in research is in her future.

Opinion Licences not purr-fect I

Chronicle
t’s not that it’s a bad idea. Matter of fact there is some pretty sound reasoning for licensing cats in Ladysmith. Sure, they are known to kill birds and other small mammals, that is a blood trait that proves very difficult to shake. And nobody likes to find poop in their garden. That argument is pretty locktight, except for those who employ natural fertilizers. But the cons and questions continue to make cat licensing a scratch. Unlike other domesticated pets, they are hard to contain. Fences are negotiable with a single leap and hedges offer not only passage to neighbours’ yards, but also refuge from neighbours dogs. For cats that want to be outdoors, slapping a tag around their neck is not going to dial them in to the fact they are not supposed to leave their yard. In fact, for those worried about avian well-being, instituting a bell-for-every-feline approach would be much more cost effective and, well, effective. What cat licensing would create is more an administrative and enforcement nightmare than anything. Not to mention the even deeper frustration cat licensing might cause already frustrated neighbours who might be expecting such policies to solve the problem. Complaint calls could skyrocket and force further bylaw enforcement. And no matter what happens with enforcement it is sure to break some neighbourly bonds around town between cat owners and the neighbour who calls the town when Boots crosses that imaginary property line. One argument that must be completely shut out is those who believe cats should just be locked inside and out of trouble. OK, they may live longer indoors as some have stated, but locking up any animal, including people, without access to the outside is cruel. In all, cat licensing is climbing up the wrong post.

Question of the Week
ICTORIA – B.C.’s job market held steady in July, with unemployment at 7.3 per cent. The latest Statistics Canada job data were released as global financial markets teetered on the edge of another recession. B.C. was last reminded of its vulnerability to world events in late 2008 and early 2009, when financial markets froze up and governments around the world started frantically borrowing to bail out major industries. There are still idle construction cranes around B.C., although the vital commodity markets have recovered. It was the sickening skid in provincial revenues, which began to reveal itself during the 2009 election campaign, that triggered the B.C. gov-

ernment’s panicked grab for the harmonized sales tax and its transition fund. If blame is important to you, blame Stephen Harper for the HST, but please don’t believe Bill Vander Zalm and the NDP when they claim it was merely a political plot covered up with lies. The truth is much scarier than the scare tactics of these political opportunists. Globalization isn’t optional, and there are lots of countries out there ready to beat us up and take our lunch money if we give them half a chance. The Canadian and U.S. central banks have held interest rates near zero since the crisis. If something more goes wrong, they are “out of bullets,” as economists say. Here’s another economic fact about the year 2011. For the first time in Canadian history, the majority of people with employer-supported pensions now work for government or its agencies, rather than the private sector. Despite all the political blather about left and right, more spending versus less, government keeps growing. That’s true for Canada and

for B.C., where government grew every year of the allegedly tight-fisted reign of Gordon Campbell. There has been lots of bleating about HST on adult-sized clothing for children. Claiming your hubby’s clothes are actually for a bulky child may be the oldest scam in sales tax evasion. This is an example of what economists call the paradox of public finance. Economists like consumption taxes because they’re difficult to avoid. Many taxpayers dislike them for the same reason. This is the road that leads to Greece, where tax evasion is considered a civil right along with fat pay and pensions. The same population expects to go to university at little or no cost until they’re 30, and then retire at 55, with the whole apparatus somehow held up by the dwindling band of workers in between. The latest contract demands of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation give a sense of their Greecelike isolation from reality. Lengthy paid leaves, yet more paid professional
development days, oh, and a double-digit wage increase after the rest of the public service has accepted zero. I attended the recent BCTF convention in Victoria, where this entitlement culture was on display. During a news conference about the BCTF’s many demands, someone stood behind Education Minister George Abbott and held up a sign for TV cameras that demanded “No Tankers.” This was no campus radical slipped in from the street. It was a middle-aged BCTF delegate, one of many decrying the industrial economy we need to pay for their pensions. B.C. aspires to be a shipbuilding economy but it can’t do shipping? According to our public sector union elites, we’re too precious to allow oil tankers in B.C.? Apparently some have still failed to notice that oil tankers have been going up and down the coast for decades, and back and forth under the Lion’s Gate Bridge for years.

Bad experience Editor: There may be more than one reason why the trolley is under used. The trolley is attractive and it should be really helpful for a town built on steep hills. It could also be a tourist attraction. However, riders have to feel comfortable on it. In my opinion, the trolley experience can be unpleasant. Two out of the three times I’ve taken the trolley have been disappointing. Once I took my two-year-old grandson, Matt, for a ride around town and it was all good, all lots of fun. The second time I took Matt for a ride a different driver asked me where we were going. I replied that I was taking this two-year-old for a fun experience, nowhere specific. The driver told me that the trolley was not meant for joyrides, but instead was a vehicle for shopping. I was surprised at being confronted that way, and offered to get off if the trolley filled up and our seats were needed, which of course certainly didn’t happen. It was upsetting to me that the driver was rude. The third time I took the trolley was recent, during the Stanley Cup playoffs. I walked down the hill to the 49th Parallel grocery planning to take the trolley home after shopping. All OK this time, I thought, I am shopping. I’m allowed to take the trolley. I looked at the schedule and saw that the trolley would stop there and then go off to Transfer Beach before returning to the store and then would go up the hill. OK, all finished shopping, I’ll just relax and ride the trolley to Transfer Beach and back. Sorry, no way, if you aren’t going to Transfer Beach, you cannot ride the trolley there. The driver insisted that I not board until the return and was then heading up the hill. Luckily the hockey playoffs were showing over at Aggie Hall so I waited over there watching the game until the trolley returned and then I was allowed to board to go up the hill, the only passenger on the bus. Do you see what I’m getting at? How welcome does anyone feel on this system? The airlines could hardly come up with more

Very uncomfortable for me to be confronted on boarding, and then twice denied access. I will certainly be reluctant to use it again, and I’ve spoken with others, too. A bad opinion transfers around.

RV park a plus Editor: Editor: Whomever proposed an RV park at Slack Point, is right on the money. Think like a tourist for a bit, driving the Island, come across our town, great park, interesting looking town, sheltered harbour and great location. Now where do you stay? We have a talented parks and rec team and public works with the equipment. Water, power and sewer (which could be linked to a pump out for marine traffic), add a camp host to maintain the area. Now you have some tourists that can make our town part of their holiday. We can still walk our dogs down to the point for a swim. A campground is easy to re-develop if the town really wants “high-density housing”, and

I was pleased to read the Cowichan Valley Trail was opened near Chemainus train station. I’ve included it in my runs.

Don’t force WIFI Editor: Re: Green Party gets lost in the static (B.C. Views, Aug. 3). Tom Fletcher is correct. The 2009 BC Greens platform had a time line that included smart metering by 2012. We did not recommend wireless meters because, as Fletcher mentioned, we have precautionary policy on EMF radiation. Our policy was revised in 2010. The initiatives we wanted implemented prior to new meters – feed-in tariffs, time-of-day pricing and regional management boards – were not in progress at the end of 2009 so that

the time line for smart metering was eliminated. Without being tied to substantial energy conservation, BC Hydro’s smart meter program is simply a different and more expensive way to collect data. A billion dollars invested in conservation and energy retrofits, diversifying to renewable energy or any number of priorities should precede changing meters. Fletcher may dismiss health concerns associated with WIFI, but people have a right to feel safe and healthy in their own homes. Those who chose not to use wireless technology should not be forced to do so. As I said at the news conference, wireless smart meters are a technological solution looking for a problem. With shrewd marketing, the companies that developed wireless smart meters have become wealthy with sole-source contracts from government after government. At some point, given deficits and debt load, we will need to reverse the decisionmaking process so that long-term plans actually precede implementation of new technology. Other jurisdictions are putting moratoriums on or cancelling the installation of smart meters. We are recommending BC Hydro listen to valid privacy, security and health concerns and change course.

Trio brings Prairie tales to Transfer The trio of singer/songwriters Gary Fjellgaard, Darrel Delaronde and Saskia will converge o n Tr a n s f e r B e a c h this Sunday for the next installment of the Concerts in the Park series. Fjellgaard, a Juno award winning music hall of famer from Saskatchewan, along with Saskatchewan aboriginal artist of the year nominee Delaronde, and Saskia, formerly of Holland, will bring their tales of the Prairies to life during the Ladysmith Days weekend. Saskia said attendees can expect a fun show. “There’ll be some really wild yodeling, there’ll be lots of laughter, and harmonies,” she said. “It will be a Prairie roots kind of feel, very downto-Earth music.” This year marks Fjellgaard, Delaronde a n d S a s k i a ’s s e c -
Delaronde, Saskia & Fjellgaard ond performance at Concerts in the Park. People of all ages will enjoy their rootsy feel, Saskia said. “We have stories about the Prairies. We have stories about cowboys and there’s some really intricate music going on,” she said. “We’re telling stories about the land, about the people in it, and we do that with harmonies, mandolin, pennywhistle and great guitar playing.”

cup of tea, but it’s ours,” Saskia said. She added her favourite aspect of being a musician is the opportunity to meet new people. “We usually play small concert halls, small theatres, community centres and we meet the salt-of-the-Earth people, and that makes it all worth it,” she said. “It’s a grande life, I couldn’t pick a better life for myself if I tried. I think all three of us feel like
Luv Train rolls in with plenty of steam, chuggin up their love of R&B and Motown. Heavy on the keys and horns with gutsy vocals and brilliant harmonies. Prepare to shake it! Luv Train’s seasoned musicians include: Larry and Virginia Blatchford, Zak Cohen, Pierre Komen, Donny McGillivary and Ryk Ryce. The band is working on their first CD, ‘Whistle Stop’. They’re hoping it’ll be ready for sale at this concert at 7 p.m., Tue. Aug 16 at Waterwheel Park, Chemainus.
Thanks to everyone who attended the Introductory Open House on July 26th Dozens of residents provided valuable ideas for the future of Ladysmith. Please visit the Online Open House to learn more about the proposal and provide feedback via the MyLadysmith interactive map and survey.

The three came together during a CD collaboration for the BC Food Banks, called Christmas Dream. “Gary, Darrel and I liked the combination so much that we decided, from time to time, to put on some concerts,” Saskia said. For the last 10 years they have toured Canada and Europe about two to three times a year singing original songs. “It’s not everybody’s
we’ve won the lottery with what we’re doing.” Fjellgaard currently lives on Gabriola Island while Delaronde and Saskia live in Royston. Calling from on tour in Edmonton, Saskia said the trio is looking forward to playing closer to home. “I love being back on the Island,” Saskia said. “Playing from home is about the best it gets.” Because the Logger Sports will be held at the Amphitheatre August 14, this week’s Concert in the Park will be held on the flat bed near the Transfer Beach concession stand and is co-sponsored by Ladysmith Days. The Concerts in the Park series is a fundraiser for the Ladysmith Resources Centre Association for their programs. Admission is free but donations are encouraged.
“ We’re open, we’re interested, we want to make
Ladysmith really proud of this project and we’re going to work really hard to engage the community to do that.

Track star shines as freshman in Alaska Don Bodger BLACK PRESS
It didn’t take long for Haleigh Lloyd to make an impact on the track and field program at the University of Alaska Anchorage. The Ladysmith product and former CeeVacs Jaguars’ track and field club member attained UAA records during her freshman year in the 100- and 400-metre hurdles and also had a leg on record-breaking 4x400 and 4x100 relay teams. Lloyd, who turned 19 in February, remembers feeling a bit anxious at this time last year as she prepared to head to university. “I was nervous and excited at the same time,’’ she said. “I was excited to meet new people and have a change in my life.

Diane Mary Uyttersprot (nee Smillie) of Crofton and Peter Robertson Gannon of Nanaimo Diane is widow of Paul Uyttersprot and Rob is widower of Darlene (Malpass) Gannon. Both Diane and Rob were raised in Ladysmith.
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our beloved son Ryan. He was killed in a boating accident off Tent Island near Chemainus. Ryan was born in Cranbrook, B.C. and lived in Terrace, Cranbrook, Calgary, Ladysmith and various other locations. He experienced a difďŹ cult time over the years and was starting to make a turn around. He was one of those people who always pushed the envelope in sports and life in general. He worked most of his life as a class one driver. Ryan loved to cook and made a mean Ceasar salad. Always the clean ďŹ end he was known to have the cleanest trucks and apartments. He was fascinated by wildlife and would spend hours watching the National Geographic Wildlife channel. He was a walking encyclopedia on little known facts about exotic animals. When he was not watching animal shows, or enjoying the outdoors, Ryan loved a good movie. He had an infectious laugh and wanted to get along with everyone. He always thought a laugh was the best way to connect with others. His pet peeve was men with thick head hair. Ryan will be missed greatly. He was predecessed by his mother Linda. He is survived by his sister Brandi, his newly found brother Dennis Blonski, his parents David and Anita Pringle, and his feline best friend Smokey. There will not be a formal public gathering to celebrate Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life as his family and friends are spread all over western Canada. The family will have a private farewell. We ask that those who knew and loved Ryan join together in spirit, remember him and celebrate his love of camping, river swimming, ďŹ shing, snowboarding, animals and the outdoors.
In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers please send donations to either the SPCA or WWF (World Wildlife Fund) in his memory.

KINSMEN/BROWN DR. PLAYGROUND PROJECT HAS SET UP A FUNDRAISING ACCOUNT at the Junction Bottle Depot, on Ludlow Rd. in Ladysmith. People can take all their empty bottles, juice containers, pop or beer cans, etc (anything you can get a refund for) to the bottle depot and they will credit the funds to the proposed playground at Kin Park in Ladysmith. The name of the account is the "Kin Park Playground" and all we ask is that if folks take their returns to the Junction Bottle Depot they just tell the staff that they wish to put the money into the Kin Park Playground account.
