Auxiliary coast guard kept busy

Matthew PetersonTHE CHRONICLE

The Ladysmith Auxiliary Coast Guard is remind-ing people to pack properly after two incidents in as many days.

The auxiliary members were called into action on Sunday, Aug. 14, during the fireworks for Ladysmith Days.“We enforce the exclusion zones for the fire-

works,” said auxiliary member Nick Epp-Evans.The crew was called out after two kayakers did

not return to the Yellow Point area after a trip to Pirate’s Cove.‘They were overdue, so we were tasked to search

the coastline along Yellow Point up to Boat Harbour,” said Epp-Evans.

Ladysmith’s team was not the only one called out. The police boat searched a channel and a team from Nanaimo were also tasked to search.

A Cormorant helicopter was also dispatched to assist with the search.“The two people were found still on the island

(near Pirate’s Cove),” said Epp-Evans.“They were put on the police boat and taken

away.”After the kayakers were found, the team returned

to the fireworks.The next night, Monday, Aug. 15, the auxiliary

members were again called at 10 p.m. when two female kayakers had not arrived at their destina-tion.“Their intention was to kayak from Tent Island

to Salt Spring.”A report came in they had become stuck on some

rocks.

“They were actually found on Secretary I s l a n d , ” s a i d E p p -Evans.

By the time the aux-iliary got there, it was close to midnight.

Being an educational and rescue organization, Epp-Evans said the aux-iliary coast guard wants to remind people to take the right gear.“If either of those kay-

akers had spent $100 on a marine radio, they’d have known the weath-er and been in contact with everybody.”

Some of the kayakers were not even equipped with a head torch, said Epp-Evans.“To see a low kayak

at night in the water is very, very, very hard.”

Not to mention, Epp-Evans added, there is a large pricetag to dispatch three boats and a Cormorant for a search.

Bud Bell, owner of Sea legs Kayaks on Transfer Beach, said all kayakers heading into the ocean need to be properly prepared.

Bell said people wish-ing to rent a kayak with-out the proper self and assisted rescue training are limited to one hour in a single kayak and two hours in a double.

However, said Bell, even the experienced, trained kayakers can be yahoos and get themselves in trouble by being ill-prepared.

People renting kayaks must also fill out a route map/schedule, checklist and other documenta-tion to ensure their safe return.

While some renters go through the rigors of proper planning and safeguards, there is nothing to regulate the people who buy their

own kayaks and hit the water.

Bell said mandatory safety gear should include, a paddle float to help people get back in the boat, a pump, a throw bag that goes on the boat, 50 feet of float-ing towing line, paddle and spare paddle, flash-light or headlamp and extra batteries. Bell said a flare and radio are also suggested but come with some extra training.“You can go out and buy

a radio, but you’ve got to take a course to learn how to use it.” Same goes for the flares, he said, which are basical-ly an explosive device. The most important thing is a fully charged cellphone with contact numbers, including the coast guard, said Bell.“Cellphone coverage in

our Gulf Islands is very good.”

Quoted in the Chronicle


For two days, sec-tions on and around Firs t Avenue were transformed into a small Washington state coastal town.

The crew from The Note-Heart Healer, was busy sprucing up the street and swapping any Canadian insig-nia for American flags and props, even a post office box. They also staged a parade.

T h e s h o o t i n g i n Ladysmith went well, noted producer Paul Rayman, but recog-nized it was still hard on some of the people and businesses.“I think the question

is how was Ladysmith with the experience?” Rayman asked from Brentwood Bay, the next filming location.“I just want to say

a special thanks to Ladysmith. The people were really great and we tried very hard to stick within our cur-fews,” said Rayman.“Being from here, we

wanted to make sure nobody suffered.”

Rayman said for the most part people were very supportive and co-operative.“I know we were pretty

intrusive, but I think everybody seemed pret-ty good,” he added.

T h e m o v i e c r e w really enjoyed being in Ladysmith and ‘they spent a lot of money,’

he said.And for some, Rayman

s a i d , s h o o t i n g i n Ladysmith was a real eye-opener.“There were some

Victoria people I talked to who had never been to Ladysmith. They’ve driven by it but never stopped in. They were pleasantly surprised.”

Not only was some o f t h e c r e w f r o m Ladysmith, but also sev-eral extras. Some of the dancers in the parade were from Ladysmith and the marching band was also a local prod-uct.“We used as many local

people as we could.”

S o m e b u s i n e s s e s were provided forms to fill out what they think they lost in rev-enue, a standard prac-tice for the B.C. Film Commission.“My hope is, that at the

end of the day, some stores are going to see it affects them positively.”

Kirsty Grant with Grant Jewel lers — which was in the middle of most of the filming

— said their store can definitely see the posi-tives of having a movie filmed in Ladysmith, but next time would like to see more com-munication about how filming will affect foot

traffic. Grant said they were told the filming would not impact their store.“The reality is we rely

on people being able to get to our business,” said Grant. “It definitely affected our business.”

But, Grant added, she hopes the lesson will be learned for the next time.“I hope that if city hall

approves Ladysmith as another location that they actually speak to the merchants who are in the vicinity of the shooting.”

T h a t s a i d , G r a n t thinks the filming will be great exposure for the town and will hope-fully translate into some increased traffic.

Rayman wasn’t sure when the movie will air on the Hallmark Network, but guessed it will probably in the new year.

Actor Ted McGinley was one of the stars in town for the movie.

Many locals, including dancers, were used during the fi lming of The Note - Heart Healer in Ladysmith on August 16 and 17 on First Avenue.

M e m b e r s o f t h e Ladysmith and District His tor ica l Society voted in overwhelm-ing support of a tempo-rary museum on First Avenue.

President Maureen Martin said the society will now look at build-ing a wheelchair ramp to the top entrance of the old Resources Centre on Buller Street and First Avenue.

They could build a ramp to First Avenue, but that would also include building a side-walk along the avenue. Another option could be to build the ramp towards the parking lot.

Martin said while they look at the ramp, excited members have already banded into two groups , fund -raising and form and design, to get things moving.

M a r t i n s a i d t h e museum will cover the usual aspects of life including the lum-

ber and coal industries, but she also wants to see attention paid to other aspects such as the oyster farming and our early diversity.“Ladysmith has a

great history of multi-ethnic areas and this is something different,” said Martin, noting our used to have a Finland Town, German Town and other dist inct areas.“Another thing that

affected our town a great deal was the strike,” she added.

Space is limited, said Martin, and the society members will be look-ing at frequently chang-ing the displays to keep people interested and coming back.“We want the town to

come and care about it.”

Martin said they are

very pleased to be partnering with the Ladysmith and District Credit Union, who are giving them the place rent free and paying the property tax along with the sewer, water and garbage collection levies on a temporary basis.“That’s wonderful to

have them onboard.”Anyone wishing to

lend a hand with the project and the new ramp can call the his-

torical society at 250-245-0100.“We are going to need

a lot of community support,” said Martin.

There will also be a lot of artifacts to pull out of storage at the archives and on Oyster Bay Drive near the Maritime Society.

During the August 16 meeting, a member of the Maritime Society Museum was a l so on hand, said Martin, expressing an interest for the two groups to work together in the future.

The current maritime museum however, is not great for artifacts, said Martin, given the closeness to the ocean.

“We are going to needa lot of

community support.”Maureen Martin, historical society

Council, Town of Ladysmith

After 26 years of creat-ing a lasting legacy, the Ladysmith Maritime Society has been named the 2011 Citizen of the Year.

The award is an hon-our and a testament to the tremendous work of the society’s members and volunteers, and their desire to make Ladysmith’s waterfront a great place to be, said society executive direc-tor Dave Ehrismann.“What we’re trying to

do is create a commu-nity marina that will draw the citizens to it,” he said. “We’re trying to create an environment where both sides of the harbour; Stz’uminus and Ladysmith, feel welcome.”

The announcement w a s m a d e d u r i n g Ladysmith Days on August 13. “This is truly an honour

for the maritime society,” said society president Doug Bell. “This means a lot to all of us.”

P a s t r e c i p i e n t s include Duck Patterson, Ladysmith and District C r e d i t U n i o n , D r . Wickham, Kit Willmot and Jim Cram, last year’s Citizen of the Year.“The efforts and enor-

mous contribution to

our community by the Ladysmith Maritime Society board of direc-tors, members, volun-teers and staff over the last 25 years, and in particular the last five years, makes LMS wor-thy of the title ‘Citizen of the Year’ for 2011,” said Cram.

T h e L a d y s m i t h Maritime Society is a 280 member non-profit charity founded in 1985. It offers amenities and services such as har-bour tours, a maritime museum, moorage and services, and a marine life viewing dock for kids.

Every year, the soci-ety hosts the Maritime Festival, which attracts 3 ,000 v is i tors , and serves as the home of the Purple Martin recovery program, the Ladysmith Dragonboat team and the Cowichan Independent Living dis-abled sailing program.

At 26, the society is the youngest recipient of the Ladysmith Citizen of the Year award.“The goal is to dramati-

cally expand marine tourism, providing a significant economic benefit to the commu-nity while providing a wonderful facility on the water that non-boating members of our com-munity and region can

enjoy,” Cram said.In 2008 /2009 , the

Ladysmith Maritime Society received $1.6 m i l l i o n i n f e d e r a l and provincial grants, which has been used to upgrade the marina’s access ramp and dock. Some of the money has also been allocated to a new visitors’ reception centre, which is cur-rently under construc-tion.

Ehrismann said the sec-ond storey framework of the visitors’ centre has just been completed and the exterior will be towed into the harbour mid-October. An official opening is scheduled for late November.“We’re very excited,”

Ehrismann said.Bell said he is very

grateful for the rela-tionships the society has been able to form with the Stz’uminus First Nation, the Town of Ladysmith, and other local partners.“Volunteers are truly

the lifeblood of the organization,” he said.

Bell sent out a pub-lic invite, encouraging members to come down and enjoy the Ladysmith Maritime Society marina and dock.“It’s your front yard;

bring a lunch, and check out the new facilities,” he said.

VICTORIA – He would never quite admit it, but former premier Gordon

Campbell’s push for self-suf-ficiency in clean electricity has always looked to me like a long-term strategy to export hydroelectric power.

It still looks that way. B.C.’s spring and summer runoff match perfectly with peak air-conditioner season in California. But the recent review of BC Hydro opera-tions discusses how the prospects for exports have changed since Campbell’s 2007 energy plan.

The government instructed BC Hydro to wean itself off power imports by 2016, even in drought years, and obtain new capacity mostly from outside sources with net zero greenhouse gas emissions. Nuclear plants were formally

ruled out.The review of BC Hydro

by three top bureaucrats acknowledges that govern-ment directions have “placed pressure on BC Hydro to increase their energy supply through increased long-term agreements with independent power producers (IPPs).”

C u e t h e d o o m s a y e r s . Independent power produc-tion is enemy number one for BC Hydro unions. Their cham-pion, NDP energy critic John Horgan, was immediately out with a grossly distorted ver-sion of the report. He cherry-picked statistics to compare the $124-per-megawatt hour average cost for delivering independent power with the lowest end of the spot market for electricity, which current-ly swings wildly from around $4 to more than $50.

In fact the report puts the average price paid for IPP power at $63.85. Compare that with the projected cost of $87 to $95 for power from Site C, the proposed third dam on the Peace River that will be BC Hydro owned and operated.

The $124 figure includes other costs, notably extend-ing the electricity grid to con-

nect IPPs. Horgan claims to favour wind or run-of-river for remote areas with no other clean energy option, but apparently is against hooking them up to the grid.

(Further evidence that cur-rent NDP energy policy is non-sense: Horgan opposes Site C based on an assumption of little or no growth in mines, mills or other industries such as liquefied natural gas, which an NDP government would be a good bet to deliver. He’s against smart meters for the same reason he’s against the HST – because it looks like a popular pose right now.)

When it comes to electric-ity exports, the important point is not what power sells for today, but what it will be worth a decade from now. And that depends on whether clean energy can command a premium price, and whether coal and other fossil fuel sources have a carbon price imposed on them.

Conventional wisdom right now is that carbon taxes and cap and trade programs are, if not dead, at least dormant in North America. Climate change has fallen off the front page as the U.S. and Europe grapple with economic trou-

bles.So I was surprised to find

that this month Powerex, BC Hydro’s electricity trad-ing company, wrote to the California Air Resources Board asking for clarifica-tion of the state’s proposed changes to its greenhouse gas reporting and cap and trade rules. California wants to pre-vent suppliers from engaging in “resource shuffling,” where a supplier such as B.C. might import coal power from Alberta for its own use, while selling supposedly clean power for export.

Considering that restriction, B.C.’s self-sufficiency rule starts to make more sense.

If B.C. is not importing power, its supply must be clean.

Also, a meta-analysis on climate effects came out last week in the journal Science, detailing world-wide species migration due to warming.

Clean energy sa les to California are a long way off, but it would be a mistake to reject the possibility..

It seems strange it has taken this long, but Ladysmith will finally be getting a museum. The temporary home on First Avenue, in the old Ladysmith Resources Centre

building on Buller Street, comes rent, property tax and utility free from the credit union now that the resources centre has moved to it’s new home on High Street.

It isn’t a permanent fix as this building will eventually be used for something else.

But it does seem strange that it has taken this long for a museum to open in Ladysmith.

Our town is one that prides itself on its rich history and it is high time we have a place to proudly display our arti-facts and symbols of different eras.

From our early coal mining industry and the trouble it brought to the rise fall and resurgence of lumber, we have many stories to tell as a town.

So it will be nice to now have a more front-and-centre location for people to the able to come and hear those stories and see the artifacts that go with them.

Not that there’s anything wrong with the archives under Tim Hortons.

The archives and historical society hold a special place for us here at the Chronicle as well, as many volumes, decades, of our work is housed there.

While this will be a great tourist attraction, it will also be great for locals to frequent.

While there are many long-standing families in Ladysmith, there are also a lot of newcomers who may not realize the events and other happenings on which this town was founded.

That said, there is still a lot of work to be done.There are a few minor renovations to complete, a ramp

must be made so that non-able bodied people can also attend and all the artifacts must be taken from storage at the archives and down by the Maritime Society.

If you’d like to lend a hand, please call 250-245-0100.

Editor:

I would like to respond to the cons in the opinion piece “Licences Not Purr-fect” in the Aug. 9 edition of your paper.

• “Unlike other domesticated pets, they are hard to contain.”

I agree that any cat that has been raised roaming free will be “hard to contain.” Dogs also roamed free when I was a child, but they and their owners have adjusted to lim-its to their freedom.

I have a number of cat-loving friends that have raised their cats as indoor cats and they and their cats seem perfectly happy with the arrangement. Any proposal for licensing of cats would never be able to provide the funding for every cat that strays from its yard to be picked up. What it would do is provide the funding for ani-mal control officers to respond to complaints by picking up cats that are abandoned and through the licensing contact the owner of the cat.

• “For those worried about avian well-being, instituting a bell-for-every-feline approach would be much more cost effective and, well, effective.”

Hunting cats lie in wait and then pounce when the prey is close. No bell is ringing while the cat is lying in wait (either awake or asleep) and, when the cat pounces, it is too late for the bird to be warned by the bell.

• “What cat licensing would cre-ate is more an administrative and enforcement nightmare than any-thing.”

This has not been the experience of the animal control officer for the City of Calgary who claims to have solved his cat problem in two years after cat licensing was intro-duced for the city. Cat licensing provided revenue for animal con-trol officers to deal with the cat problem and it has made it possi-ble for him to contact the owners of cats that come into his holding facility. In the documentary Cat Crazed shown on Doc Zone, he walks the interviewer through his facility past the empty cages that used to be filled with cats to show the viewers the seven cats that he presently has which he is sure will

all be adopted. • “Locking up any animal...

without access to the outside is cruel”

If this is true, there are lot of dog owners in North America who should be charged with animal cruelty. Most dog owners that I know keep their dogs in the house all the time except for short walks outside to relieve themselves and for exercise. Travelling in India, dogs are everywhere and the peo-ple there think that we are cruel not to let our dogs lead a dog’s life, but North American dog owners think otherwise. Although dogs are still allowed to be outside in a fenced yard or kennel, most of the dog owners that I know, ken-nel their dogs in the house.

• “In all, cat licensing is climb-ing up the wrong post”. I wonder what your opinion would have been when dog licensing came into being in the 1950s and 1960s.

Editor: I’ve Had Enough!Saturday morning, August 13, 9

a.m., at the corner of Dogwood and Bayview avenues, Ladysmith.

I drove out of my home to find a barricade with unidentifiable peo-ple once again blocking the street and asking me where I’m going.

This time it is a tall man with glasses and a bright orange Hawaiian shirt telling me that I cannot access my required route because there is going to be a parade and that I must drive a very long distance out of my way.

When I explain that as a citizen of both Canada and Ladysmith I’m not happy about giving up my basic rights for special interest groups, I am told that I am a (expletive deleted)? I’ve had enough! I’ve previously been told that I could not turn into my driveway during Light Up Festival by a man who cursed me and actually punched my vehicle. Well-intentioned per-

haps, some of these volunteers are trying to impose an anarchis-tic authority they do not have. I proceeded around the blockade and drove on as intended with no more problems. There was no parade for at least another hour.

In my opinion, if someone has a legitimate reason for blockad-ing a street or public place then they must be accountable to the point of having official attire and identification. They must also understand that if their endeav-our is in regard to a special event it is being imposed on the general public without general consensus. Ladysmith is a lovely community and I am happy to share its streets and parks for events of benefit to the common good.

I am not prepared to be restricted and abused in any way for any spe-cial interest group. As it turns out, the hundreds of dollars of business that I was about to conduct with a Ladysmith merchant that morning was instead completed in Nanaimo.

Jessey LaFontaine is good with gourds.

The dynamic artists has been working with the hard-shell vegeta-bles for years.“It’s one of the very

first canisters ever used all across the world,” LaFontaine said of the

gourd.LaFontaine tries to

keep her gourds B.C. grown, heading to Kamloops once a year to stock up on her usual canvas.“I work on some that

are quite huge and those I get from California because they need a whole year in that hot season to get that big.”

L a F o n t a i n e h a s been in many differ-ent art shows, but this is her first time in Ladysmith’s Arts on the Avenue, happening Sunday, Aug. 28 along First Avenue.“I just love Ladysmith,”

said the self-taught, Nanaimo-based artist.

“Someone told me about Arts on the Avenue and

I thought I should try it.”

The process of gourd painting is not a fast one, as it take a year to grow and year to dry before LaFontaine applies her trade.

LaFontaine, who actu-ally trained as a silver-smith, uses leather paints on her work so the gourd’s pattern can

still be seen.“Then I do a lot of carv-

ing,” said LaFontaine, who also does a lot of inlay with precious stones, such as tur-quoise.

LaFontaine focuses a lot of her subject matter on the West Coast fea-turing a lot of whales, eagles and other B.C. treasures.

Tower of Dudes set to performLast act set for park concert series

Niomi PearsonTHE CHRONICLE

The final act of the Ladysmith Resources Centre’s Concerts in the Park series plays Sunday, Aug. 28.

Seasoned performer Gerry Barnum, with 35 years experience in the music industry, says he will bring his ‘soulful roots/original’ sound to

Transfer Beach.“It’s going to be a really

nice end to the summer,” he said. “And it’s one of my favourite perfor-mances on the Island because that setting is so gorgeous.”

Barnum will be playing tunes from his fifth CD, released back in June.“We’re going to have a

keyboard player and a percussionist and a bass

player might be there, too,” he said.

Barnum got his musical start at a young age and has been pursuing his love of song ever since. In addition to touring across Canada, Barnum spent about 12 years in the Vancouver music scene. He now lives in Parksville and teaches after-school music pro-grams and workshops

to supplement his music career.“It’s been great, it’s

sometimes ‘feast or fam-ine’ and that’s why the teaching thing has been great, it pulls the lean times up a bit,” he said.

Barnum also offers music as therapies for rehabilitation and devel-opment in physically and mentally challenged indi-viduals.

Accompanying Barnum will be Nanaimo key-boardist Guy Massey, who is involved in a number of musical proj-ects including the band Island Hue.“I play a little pop, a little

bit of jazz, and a little bit of blues,” Massey said.

Massey said he has been a supporter of the Ladysmith Resources Centre for many years.

“I’ve done a little bit of work with them over the years with Concerts in the Park,” he said. “I have a strong belief in what they do and what they stand for in the community.”

B a r n u m p l a y s t h e amphitheater from 6 to 8 p.m. Admission is free but donations are encouraged and collect-ed at half time.

T h e L a d y s m i t h Camera Club is putting the focus on photogra-phy again this year with the return of the Mid-Island Photo Expo.

Shutterbugs of all ages and skill levels can now submit their images digitally for a shot at prizes and one of 60 spots at the Ladysmith Waterfront Art Gallery.“Lots of people take

absolutely amazing shots of their fam-ily, friends, vacations or whatever, and they usually end up in a file somewhere,” said Kathy Holmes, presi-dent of the Ladysmith and District Art Council.

“This way they can bring them to the front and be a star.”

This year’s theme is ‘black and white’ and ‘colour’, which will leave the competition open to endless possi-bilities, said Ladysmith Camera Club president Sean Sherstone.“It could be anything;

landscapes, people, architecture — those are the most common things,” he said. “That’s most likely what we’re going to be seeing, and sometimes we see art photography as well where it’s flowers and things like that.”

With the onset of affordable, high-quality digital cameras, pho-tography is becoming a much more accessible art form to people of all ages looking for a cre-ative outlet, Sherstone said.“It’s not as difficult as

say, painting,” he said.

The Mid-Island Photo Expo is in its second year and will now be open to photographers a c r o s s Va n c o u v e r Island, whereas last year’s competition was open for residents in the central Island area only.

There were about 200 submissions in last year’s competition and more are expected this year as the competition opens up to more pho-tographers. “Last year was amazing,

the ones that I remem-ber — there were some amazing shots of India, and since I’d been to India, I could relate to them,” Holmes said.

“And there were shots that were digital ly enhanced and that’s an art form in itself.”

All submissions are judged by a panel of three industry experts and whittled down to 60 entries, which are hung in the art gallery throughout November. The final winners will

be announced, and priz-es and awards will be presented at the exhibi-tion opening ceremony on Saturday, November 5, 2011. Some of the images will also be available for purchase.“You may not win first

prize, but to be hang-ing in the gallery is an honour,” Holmes said.

“Anybody who can get in and be hung on the walls should be proud of that fact because there is an elimination process.”

T h e L a d y s m i t h C a m e r a C l u b w a s founded in 2008 to promote the apprecia-tion and sharing of all things photographic in the Ladysmith area and is about 40 members strong, but there’s room for more. The group is trying to get more par-ticipation from the high school as well.“We’re always looking

for new people to join,” Sherstone said.

T h e L a d y s m i t h Camera Club meets

once a month on the fourth Tuesday at 7 p.m.

For a complete list of rules and details on the Club or the Mid Island Photography Expo, visit the club’s website at www.lady-smithcameraclub.com. Submissions must be received no later than Fr iday, September 23, 2011 and can be sent to [email protected]

Kit WillmotHISTORICAL SOCIETY

In 1904, John Coburn, at that t ime mayor of Ladysmith, built a sawmill at Cassidy on what is now Nanaimo Airport.

Clark Lumber bought i t and moved i t to the area which later became Coronation Square.

In this area, there was a pond (where Safeway is now) which became a popular skating rink in winter — but not in February 1916 when 10 feet of snow fell in the area.

In 1920, Clark Lumber sold the sawmill to Saran Singh, owner of the Eastern Lumber Co. This mill employed white men, East Indians and Chinese workers, the latter doing most of the falling and living in shacks facing the high-way; “the smell of their pipes was overpower-ing on a hot summer’s evening,” John Zizac.

A four-km railway ran up the hill alongside Holland Creek, the logs being brought down by a locomotive and single wagon. The outstanding event was when an East Indian died, a funeral pyre of logs was built, the body placed on top and the logs fired — all watched with ghoulish delight by the young-sters of Ladysmith.

T h e m i l l c l o s e d around 1927.

In 1933, on the hills behind Ladysmith, a violent windstorm blew down thousands of trees belonging to the Rockefeller Foundation, who eventually sold them to the Comox Logging & Railway Co. They built offices and a large complex of work/repair shops in Ladysmith.

In 1936 Comox start-ed logging and it was officially called the

“Salvage Operation.” Their arrival, signify-ing the salvation of Ladysmith’s economy, was ce lebrated by the erection of a 100-foot flagpole in civic square, also known as Coronation Square,

near the bottom of Roberts Street.

On it was a plaque inscribed ‘To the City of Ladysmith by the Comox Logging and Railway Co. September 1936 First Timber from Ladysmith’. At the same ceremony, the city’s bonds were burned by Mayor W.W. Walkem and council, signifying that the city was debt free, a remarkable achievement consider-ing the years of depres-sion.

In the 1960s there was much building up Davis Road on the southern end of Ladysmith, so when in 1971, council received an offer from a developer to build a $500,000 shopping cen-tre on the old mill site,

they accepted. W o r k s t a r t e d

s t ra ight away and Coronat ion Square was opened on March 4, 1974, with Safeway (built on the site of the pond), and John Strom’s United Pharmacy being the main businesses.

The latter became Pharmasave in 1981 and by 1994 Strom owned six Pharmasave stores and when in 1998, Rexall Drugs bought the Ladysmith Pharmacy, Strom retired.

I n 1 9 9 5 , s e v e r a l new businesses were opened and in 1996, Coronation Square was renamed Coronation Mall.

August 1997 saw a spectacular fire which destroyed Field’s store

and made Dr. Phelp’s Dentistry and the Bank of Montreal unusable.

The latter operated from portable cabins on the parking lot for many months and many businesses suffered from smoke damage.

The cause of the fire was never determined, being put down to an electrical fault. In the same year, V.W.A. Wine Shoppe opened, sell-ing wines from B.C.’s 30 wineries, a store unique to the Island, one of only three in the province.

The mall has seen many notable events. I n 2 0 0 0 , t h e F i r s t A n n u a l S c a r e c r o w Festival was held, run by the Coronation Mall Merchants Association, proceeds from which were g iven to the Ladysmith Food Bank.

An Oyster Fest, a p u m p k i n F e s t a t which the pumpkin pie was certified the longest pumpkin pie by the Guinness Book of Records, presided over by the colour-ful ly dressed King of Pumpkins, John Meloche.

In 2004, the mall was sold to a Korean inves-tor for $9,900,000 with an off ice in Maple Ridge; merchants were assured that there were to be no changes in business arrange-ments.

Now you can learn s o m e t h i n g a b o u t Canada without leav-ing the mid-Island.A n e w g e o c a c h e

series will have you searching from Lake

Cowichan to north N a n a i m o l o o k i n g for caches linked to Canadian provinces with clues to the big prize.

Paul Legacy, also

known as Paulboy on geocaching.com, has hidden the boxes.

T h e g e o c a c h e i s called ‘A Canadian Legacy in its own time’ and can be found at

geocaching.com. In the last cache there was a raffle ticket giv-ing people a shot at a number of prizes, but as the cache has been on for awhile, and with

the growing popularity of the sport, the tickets could already be gone.

Legacy will be host-ing a party at the end of the series at Transfer Beach on October 30.

Ladies tee off at Mount Brenton tournamentThere was plenty of

action to be had on the golf course this week-end as the Ramsay L a m p m a n R h o d e s Mount Brenton Ladies Amatuer golf tourna-ment teed off Aug. 21 and 21 to sunny, beau-tiful weather.A total of 60 golfers

played in the tourna-ment, with shotgun starts both days.

Christina Proteau of the Alberni Golf Club took home first place in the tournament with her two day gross score of 143.

Winning first place in the net score category was Gail Slater with her final tally of 144.

Notable plays include Melanie Iverson of Salt Spring’s hole-in-one shot on Hole 11.

The shot earned her a new golf cart spon-sored by Oak Creek Golf Carts. Iverson

incidentally, had just purchased a refur-bished cart two weeks ago and had that one sold before the end of the tournament.

Shelly Stoffer’s first seven holes on day two were impressive. Stoffer birdied holes 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 with a par on hole 3.

The following is a list of winners in the gross and net categories and their scores.

GROSS#1 - Christina Proteau, Alberni - 143#2 - Shelly Stouffer, Fairwinds - 152# 3 - J u d y H o o k , Morningstar - 161# 4 - J a n e t R u e s t , Cordova Bay - 163#5 - Georgina Hermans, Cottonwood - 164#6 - Darleen Michell, Mt. Brenton - 169# 7 - S u e O v a n s , Cordova Bay - 171.
