News Thieves targeting local vehicles Chronicle
Burst water main Ladysmith Public Works crew workers Larry McLeod and Shane Lassam suck out the water surrounding a pinhole leak in a service pipe just outside of the First Avenue Barber shop on August 9. According to Joe Friesenhan, director of public works, the soil had corroded some of the pipe, which in turn caused the leak. He added it was the first time such a leak had occurred in the area, and the department deals with approximately one such leak per month. At some point in the future, that section of pipe will be replaced and the service pipe will be replaced along with it, Friesenhan said.

Temporary museum eyed for First Avenue Old Resources Centre on main street could house local artifacts Quoted in the Chronicle
“I think it’s a great opportunity and something our town has needed.” Maureen Martin, historical society president “We’ve been offered this chance and the town is behind us,” said Martin. “I think it’s a great opportunity and something our town has needed.” The Archives under Tim Hortons is brimming with Ladysmith artifacts that should be out for people to enjoy, said Martin. A ramp would have to be built from First Avenue to the building to accommodate people facing mobility challenges.
“You can’t really have a museum without wheelchair access,” she added. The Resources Centre already had a plan done and were given a grant to complete it, but had to give the money back when they moved. “One of the challenges for that facility is accessibility,” noted Mayor Rob Hutchins, who has been working with the society. While a ramp is not necessarily required on the town’s bylaws, the town would like to see one on what

would be a very public institution. For the Ladysmith and District Credit Union, the offer to the society was a natural one. “We take our community responsibility very seriously,” said credit union CEO John de Leeuw. “Having an archives under the Tim Hortons is awesome, but it doesn’t work for a museum, displaying what we have.” The offer comes free of rent, utility payments and property tax. de Leeuw said the credit union is still looking at options for what it will do with the property, but thinks any finalized plans are still probably two years out.

Scam bugs computer owners Callers asking for remote access to people’s equipment to install software Niomi Pearson THE CHRONICLE
A local resident is warning others about a telephone scam that may be circulating in
ATTENTION SUBSCRIBERS
the area. Wayne Todd said he received four phone calls over two days from a long distance number telling him there was a problem with his computer and requested access to install software to keep it operational. At first, the caller identified himself from Microsoft, however on the final call, he identified himself as an employee of the local computer store. “They’re very insistent, they just keep bugging you, and this last call... they called and said ‘Hi this is Sean from your local computer store’. “Well I know Sean from our local computer store and I know damn well he wouldn’t be calling to do this,” Todd said. “We really let them have a mouthful.” According to Phonebusters.com, ‘service scams’ are the number one scam reported to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre and are defined as any false, deceptive or misleading promotion of services or solicitation for services. Ladysmith RCMP Staff Sgt. Roger Plamondon
Quoted in the Chronicle
“They’re trying to convince them that there’s something wrong with the computer.” Sean Sherstone, Uforik Computers said there has only been one similar incident reported to date. “ T h e r e ’s s o m a n y different scams that are out there at the moment and individuals shouldn’t deal with anybody on the telephone unless they are completely satisfied that they are aware of the business or have made the call for service,” he said. “Also, beware of anyone either sending an e-mail message or calling you for access to a personal device.” Sean Sherstone, employee at Ladysmith’s Uforik Computers, said the company is aware of the scam. “From what we can tell, they’re from India, and they’re calling people randomly and saying there’s a problem with your computer when there isn’t,” he said. So far, only one cus-
tomer has been hit by the scam, he said. “It’s not illegal what they’re doing, but it is a scam,” Sherstone said. “Other than the fact that they’re lying to them, what they’re doing is they’re trying to convince them that there’s something wrong with the computer and selling them a service.” Sherstone said the only time a computer store would be calling is if a pre-existing relationship had been established with the client. “We wouldn’t be calling them to say there’s something wrong with your computer, because there’s no way we could know that [remotely],” he said. Anyone who thinks they may have fallen victim to a scam should contact the RCMP or Phonebusters, Plamondon said.

“Often, because scams are done on the Internet or through letters or other means, we often refer the case to Phonebusters because it’s an integrated group of municipal and RCMP members there that are working on these cases,” he said. “There was one that was on the Internet and what they were doing was selling used motor vehicles and in this particular case there was a gentleman from Ladysmith that bought one. He paid $4,500 for it and it didn’t come forward. He contacted the company and it was never delivered so we ended up going to Phonebusters and the Phoenix Police department they actually made an arrest and the gentleman got a year and half in jail and restitution for the amount of money owing.” He added that it’s ultimately up to the consumer to make sure that they are dealing with a credible individual or organization. “If there’s one victim in the community, there’s probably a number of them out there,” he said.

Group canvassing to resurrect court Matthew Peterson THE CHRONICLE
The Winter Hawks girls’ and boys’ ball hockey team and Ladysmith Kinsmen are canvassing local businesses to help revive the sport in the Stz’uminus First Nation. The ball hockey court, located along Church Road, is in need of repair as the Winter Hawks are hosting a large tournament in October. The groups have been canvassing the area and are looking for businesses to kick in $100 to help repair the court. For that contribution, they will receive a hand-painted board, or logo, that will be hung on the fencing and will stay there for around 10 years. Jason Kelland, who owns the A&W at Oyster Sto-lo Road, said an employee, Gilbert Frenchy, first brought the issue to him. “He was looking for some way for us to

ell the party’s over for another year. And what a weekend it was. For those of you who couldn’t make it, Ladysmith Days was a blast. Starting on Friday at Coronation Mall and finishing Sunday with a bang and the fireworks sponsored by the Ladysmith and District Credit Union, the streets of Ladysmith were packed. Friends were gathering with friends, and family came together, many from long distances, to celebrate a weekend unique to Ladysmith. The parade was a great success, Aggie Field was packed with families on Saturday and Transfer Beach was the picture of fun on Sunday. Even the new events this year are sure to have encores in the years to come. First Avenue provided a great venue for the giant street market. The numerous vendors helped to bring a lot of the traffic up the street from Aggie Fields. Perhaps the most inspiring was the new Ladysmith Has Talent event held outside the credit union which was a blast to watch. Talented locals displaying a wide range of skills performed in front of a very appreciative crowd that was, in some places, leaning over walls to catch a glimpse of the acts. There was no booing, just a lot of courage in a very positive atmosphere. Of course, we understand none of this could have happened if it were not for the hard work and dedication of the volunteers needed to pull this off. It is hard to believe that only a few months ago, people were concerned if Ladysmith Days would even happen this year. So thank you to all who came together and volunteered your time to help with Ladysmith Days 2011.

VICTORIA – It’s a basic strategy for the board game Monopoly. If you land on one of the utilities, buy it and reap the steady revenues. Real-world investors follow the same rule. BC Hydro’s debt may be enormous, but it’s one of the safest investments around. The crown jewel of B.C. utilities is such a money machine that it can allow extravagant practices and still deliver some of the cheapest, cleanest, most stable energy in North America. Some of those extravagances were described in a new report on BC Hydro by three senior bureaucrats. Headline items included a 41-per cent increase in staff in just four years, lavish management bonuses and union overtime pay, and a
communications department almost as big as the B.C. government’s own. You won’t find this kind of luxury in private companies that have to compete in today’s ruthless marketplace. And you won’t learn much about it from listening to B.C.’s political debate, dominated as usual by the NDP’s union-approved talking points. According to those, the only serious problem here is the intrusion of private power producers onto the turf of this government monopoly cash cow. BC Hydro is only now getting a taste of the business discipline that has been applied to other areas of the provincial government. A case in point is the utility’s 650 staff engineers, part of what the reviewers termed a “gold standard” corporate culture. Why does BC Hydro have six times as many engineers as the Transportation Ministry, which manages about the same amount of complex construction? According to Energy Minister Rich Coleman, the Transportation Ministry used to work the same way. Staff engineers would design a new bridge down to

the specifications of the last bolt that holds the handrail. Then this design would be put out to tender, with the winning bidder micromanaged at every step. The remaining Transportation Ministry engineers now speak wistfully of this bygone golden age. Today they are expected to set cost and performance specifications and let the private sector design and build the bridge to meet those targets. Innovations are thus encouraged, not prevented, and their former colleagues do just fine in the private sector. A brisk pruning – the report recommends reducing total staff from 6,000 to 4,800 – gives Premier Christy Clark what she asked for. An expected 32-per-cent rate increase over three years will be limited to only 16 per cent. And it leaves BC Hydro’s huge capital works program more or less alone: rebuilding old dams, preparing for Site C and expanding both the grid and generation capacity. The review team also leaves the smart meter program alone, finding more evidence it will pay off in
savings. The reviewers found that BC Hydro’s overtime costs are higher than other electrical utilities, and 84 per cent of that is paid to unionized electricians. The top five overtime earners doubled their base salary with overtime pay between $113,000 and $130,000 last year alone. With a smart grid, at least they won’t be collecting so much overtime to drive around searching for downed wires. And I suppose it would be nice to have all overtime paid at double-time, and 17 to 20 “flex days” that can be taken off or traded for cash. But other public sector workers don’t get that. The government milks this cow too. It overcharges BC Hydro for water use, for one thing. What this overhaul may also lead to is an end to former premier Gordon Campbell’s aggressive climate strategy. That’s a complicated issue that I’ll tackle in a subsequent column. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press newspapers. E-mail tfletcher@blackpress.ca.

Parks not for dogs
Your View
Editor: Well, it has happened again. I just opened my door to an upset mother and her screaming toddler whose little face was covered in dog excrement. Apparently he is young enough to still be unsteady on his feet and in joyously trying to race with his mother on Ecole Davis Road school property field had taken a header into a pile of excrement. This has been an ongoing problem this summer as so many carloads of people bring their kids and dogs to play in the beautiful grounds that are part of the school playground and Bonnie Marshall Park. I have two dogs that I exercise in my own backyard even though the school is across the street. Other homeowners on our street do the same thing. Common sense tells us that dogs and cats obey their natural urges. I believe a school field is a place for children to exercise not for irresponsible dog owners to let their dogs poop and then don’t even bother to clean up. This is a wonderful, safe area for children to enjoy the equipment and parents to bring a picnic lunch to the table provided and have a great time together. Why does such a positive experience have to be spoiled in this way? I congratulate those who are campaigning for a proper dog park but in the meantime, have a little consideration for the children who want to use their playground for its intended purposes. Exercise your dogs elsewhere. Joan-Marie Hammond Ladysmith
Park trolley, for now Editor: I have just returned from the August 2 town council meeting. It was the first meeting that
All Access We carry home medical equipment with will help you get up the stairs, across the room or even around town.
Katherine Backlund snapped this picture of a vulture posing for his close-up in Woodley Range. Send your photos to editor@ladysmithchronicle.com I have been able to attend where the newly implemented ‘public dialog with council” has been in effect. Three individuals had the opportunity to discuss a variety of issues with the members of council in a public form prior to the regularly scheduled council meeting. It is unfortunate that these discussions are not part of the public transcripts of council meetings. One issue that was brought up was the question of the large amount of CO2 being generated by the trolley and how does this large amount of carbon being added to the air we breath compare to any offset in carbon reduction from cars being taken off the road by any of the riders. I believe that most if not all the councillors recognize that the trolley as it is presently being supported by the public is not reducing greenhouse gases.

Data indicates that we generate an excessive amount of carbon from the trolley because it is really a 32-seat bus. The trolley consumes about 37 liters of diesel per 100 km and the average number of people on the trolley at any one time is about 2.5. Too often it runs empty or with only one or two riders. Members of council rightly pointed out that the trolley has social benefits that should be weighted when evaluating the value of the trolley and the transit system. They feel that it performs an important community service. Many of the trolley’s critics appreciate the intent of the service, but they question the value of it in it’s present format, especially with its high cost along with it’s negative environmental impact. My I be so bold as to suggest
a compromise that can help reduce the unacceptable production of greenhouse gases and yet still accomplish many of the social goals that council would like to see. Park the trolley, until there is an increased demand for service. Once the demand is there then re-establish the 32-seat bus. In the meanwhile, rent a ninepassenger gas van equipped with a wheelchair ramp that meets the present demand for service. The fuel savings alone will go a long way to pay for the rent on the van. The small van using the less polluting gas will significantly reduce the amount of CO2 produced, and can be seen as a constructive step in reducing greenhouse gases rather than a significant pollution generator.

Wind in the sails of local youth Matthew Peterson THE CHRONICLE
Many kids dream of a life on the high seas. And a program from the Ladysmith Yacht Club is helping many make that dream come true. Christine Devlin, vicecommodore with the club, said their junior yachting program is a great way for youth to learn about sailing, and all the work that comes along with it. The program gives youth a chance to, pardon the pun, dive into
the world of sailing and get a better grasp of what is involved. “Definitely knot-tying, safety and the rules of the water,” said Devlin of some of the skills kids learn. “They learn all the basics of sailing and what the different parts of the boat are called and what they do.” The first day and a half are spent in a classroom setting where kids are given the basic before heading out into the harbour. “After that they spend pretty much the entire

time on the water.” Once the kids get a little more confidence, the young sailors head into the Transfer Beach area. “It’s a little more open and there’s a little more wind.” The program, for kids age 9 to 16, wavers in popularity from year to year, with some sessions being sold out and others with barely enough to continue. There are currently six kids enrolled in the Learn to Sail program. “It’s not looking too big this year.” Devlin said an uncertain economy might have to do with fewer junior sailors in the program this year. The club runs four two-week sessions each year. The first one is usually empty, she said, because it starts just after school lets out. The Yacht Club also has an adult program in the summer over certain weekends. For more information on the program, or to sign up, please call the Frank Jameson Community Centre. As for the Yacht Club, Devlin said they currently boast around 130 members. “And we are getting new members all the time.” The club is serving as a good social group, said Devlin and their events have been very popular.

Ron was a longshoreman for 37 years and was a proud member of ILWU Local #508. He enjoyed traveling and camping with Pauline through the back roads of BC, Alberta and the Yukon.

MYERS, Barbara Anne It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden and unexpected passing of our mother Barbara Anne Myers (nee Gibbs). Born April 20, 1939 in Oliver BC, Barb passed away August 2, 2011 in Nanaimo BC. She was the eldest daughter of six children (Robert, Martin, Richard, John and Kathi) born to William and Ethel Gibbs (nee: Scott). Predeceased by her husband of 45 years Malcolm Garth Myers. She will be greatly missed by her sons Graham and Stuart, daughter in law Sabrina, grandchildren Jonas, Raya and Matthew, as well as many cousins, nieces, nephews and close friends. Barbara graduated from St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital School of Nursing in 1961 and began a long career in public health nursing working in Quesnel, Fruitvale, Trail, Nelson and Salmo. Barbara was a long time resident of Salmo, BC but enjoyed her last few years in Chemainus BC caring for her husband Garth and being close to her children and grandchildren. She was known for her amazing gardens, which reďŹ&#x201A;ected her eclectic style with ďŹ&#x201A;owing ponds and a palette of beautiful colours. Always the artist Barbara saw the beauty in everything around her, translating her love for color and ďŹ&#x201A;owers onto canvas. Forever a self proclaimed â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Okanagan girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; a celebration of Barbs life is scheduled for August 28th, 2011, from 3pm to 6pm, in Summerland BC at the Summerland Ornamental Garden located at: The PaciďŹ c Agri-Food Research Centre, 4200 Highway 97, Summerland, British Columbia In Lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers donations in Barbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name can be made to the Salmo Valley Youth and Community Centre and payable to: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Village of Salmo-Community Centre Fund www.svycc.ca The Village of Salmo P.O.

How does the average taxpayer cut through the confusion of complex tax laws? Filling out the proper tax forms without making mistakes is tricky enough. A taxpayer must also be careful to manage money yearround while being constantly vigilant for news of current, ever-changing regulations. How do Canadians make use of all the laws that were designed to give them a break? Many turn to tax professionals. You could become a professional tax preparer. If you like to work with numbers and enjoy helping people, you may find tax preparation is just what you’re looking for. As a qualified tax professional, you’ll enjoy the challenge and satisfaction of helping people save money on their taxes.
