Hallmark fi lm chooses LadysmithMatthew PetersonTHE CHRONICLE

L a d y s m i t h ’s F i r s t Avenue will once again be in the spotlight as Hallmark films part of a new TV movie along the historic strip.

Producer Paul Rayman said The Note - Heart Healer will be filming in Ladysmith on Tuesday,

Aug. 16 and Wednesday, Aug. 17. They will also b e s h o o t i n g s o m e extra shots during the Ladysmith Days parade on Saturday, Aug. 13.

Ladysmith will be wel-coming a few famous faces as leads Genie Francis (of General Hospital fame) and Ted McGinley (from Married with Children and Happy

Days) will be in town.The story centres on

the search for a young woman, played by Trail’s Laci Mailey, who leaves her child on the doorstep of Francis’ character, a writer.

R a y m a n s a i d d u r-ing their two days in Ladysmith, they will be recreating a parade dur-ing one of the mornings

in town to shoot the scenes with the actors.

The Note will take around 14 days to shoot and will also film in Victoria, Cobblehill and Brentwood Bay.

Ladysmith ’s down-town will be tied into Brentwood Bay to create a fictional Washington state coastal town for the film.

T h e c h o i c e o f 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 peo-ple a thing or two about Ladysmith.“I’m learning all sorts

of great things about L a d y s m i t h , ” s a i d 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 com-munity.”

Krista SiefkenBLACK PRESS

A boat’s collision with a log boom off of Bare Point has claimed the life of a Ladysmith man, and injured two others.

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.

T h e f o r c e o f t h e impact sent the boat air-borne, dumping Pringle and his two 25-year-old male passengers onto the boom.

D u n c a n / N o r t h Cowichan RCMP were called to the scene shortly after 11 p.m., although it’s possible the collision occurred ear l ie r but wasn ’t immediately reported.

R C M P , B . C . Ambulance paramed-ics and Ladysmith Auxiliary Coast Guard all responded to the call, along with the RCMP’s West Coast Marine Service.

The two passengers were transported via ambulance to Cowichan

District Hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries.

The marine service, meanwhile, is now working with Transport Canada’s safety board to assess the collision under guidelines such as the Canada Shipping Act and small vessel regulations.“And of course we’re

still following up with issues such as the speed of the vessel, whether or not alcohol was involved, what the visibility was like, if the boat had navigational lights, things like that,” said Staff Sgt. Jack MacNeill.

But no matter what the crash’s factors turn out to be, MacNeill hopes the t ragedy

serves as a reminder to boaters to be cautious on the water.“There’s a lesson there

for people,” he said.“There are deadheads

and logs and all kinds of obstructions out there at all times that you never have any advance warning of, and people just have to be careful.”

Peter Luckham, a Thetis Island resident who travels the Stuart Channel frequently, agreed.

He was at the scene of the crash on Saturday morning and snapped some photos of the boat, still on the log boom, with his cell-phone.“I think what’s really

key is for people to pay due care and attention,” he said. “I don’t want to say anything about the individuals involved (in this particular crash) because I don’t know what happened… but it’s summertime and there’s lots of good times to be had on the water, and hopefully people can enjoy that — but be safe. Boat safety is paramount.”

“There are deadheads and

logs and all kinds of

obstructions out there.”

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 evi-dence, 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.

“It destroyed the boat,” said Fire Chief Ray Delcourt. “It was notice-able from anywhere in town, heavy black

smoke.”Brayley said the esti-

mated worth of the boat is $30,000.“It was a just an old

beached dog patch boat,” he said. Anyone with information can contact the RCMP at 250-245-2215.

L a d y s m i t h h a s received a grant to help its 2009 Bicycle Plan keep rolling.

The grant , worth $39,780 from BikeBC, i s s l a t e d t o h e l p improve the Bayview Connector.

The connector, said Felicity Adams, direc-tor of development ser-vices, is listed as one of the priority improve-

ments identified in the Bike Plan.

Work would begin at the south end of B a y v i e w A v e n u e , around the Stephenson intersection and run parallel to the Trans-Canada Highway to Coronation Mall.“Back in 2010, council

supported an appli-cation to go into that (BikeBC) program to

help fund that improve-ment,” said Adams.

The grant money will cover around half of the project, with the other half to be budgeted by council next year.“The project has to

be completed by June of 2012,” said Adams, noting she does not see any concerns meeting that timeline. “So we basically have

a year.”Work will consist of

mostly widening the trail where possible and some drainage issues will be addressed.

T h e v i s i o n , s a i d Adams, not for a bike-only trail, but to cre-ate a path for cyclists, pedestrians and even motorized scooters.

vAUTOMOTIVEQ. What maintenanceon my vehicle should I do before my holiday?You should always keep your vehicle well-maintained. Th is is especially important during the summer because that’s when you’re most likely to take road trips. Investing a litt le time and money upfront will help ensure your car does not leave you stranded at the side of the road. Th at’s good planning.Flush and refi ll 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 fi lter and replace other fi lters 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 fi ght summer’s dust and insects.

PETSQ. 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 sun-block 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.

Q: I like to always have a vase of fl owers in my house — what care do they need to keep them lasting?A: Th e fi rst thing to do is recut the stems and remove any foliage that is below the water line; arrange your fl owers in a clean vase with cool water adding fl oral preservative. If there are water tubes on roses, remove them fi rst. Display in a cool location, away from direct sunlight. Every 2 to 3 days recut the stems and change the water.

Council pay will be in the spotlight this month as staff prepares a report on the history of council remunera-tion.

The request came f rom Coun . Bruce Whittington during a recent government services meeting and is scheduled to be on the agenda for the Aug. 15 meeting.

Whittington said he wanted to address the topic for the current or new council to be elected in November.“No council wants to

be seen voting itself an increase, but at some point it has to be considered,” said Whittington.

Once the information is brought forward it will be up to the cur-rent council to either act on it or pass it on

to the next council.“ S o t h e i n c o m i n g

council does not have the stigma of initiating it for their own benefit, but they can make a decision based on the information.”

S t a f f h a v e b e e n requested to come back with not only a payment history, but also information on the pay of councillors from towns with a similar size to Ladysmith.

Based on the town’s 2010 financial report, Mayor Rob Hutchins

made $13,784 and filed $9,959 in expenses.

Coun. Steve Arnett received $6,311 and filed $5,970 in expenses.

Coun. Scott Bastian made $6,311 and filed $3,198 in expenses.

Coun. Jill Dashwood received $6,311 and filed $3,723 in expens-es.

Coun. Lori Evans received $6,311 and filed $5,942 in expens-es.

Coun. Duck Paterson received $7,669 and filed $3,877 in expens-es.

Whittington received $6,311 and filed $3,275.

In comparison, the City of Revelstoke, with a population of around 7,500, said their mayor gets paid around $22,000 and each of their six councillors receive around $11,000. All told, Revelstoke council filed for $12,435 in expenses in 2010.

Councillors seek new termMatthew PetersonTHE CHRONICLE

There are around four months until the munici-pal election and a hand-ful of councillors are still mulling their future around the table.

While the Chronicle has not received any direct ‘no’s’ from cur-rent councillors, Duck Paterson, Lori Evans. Bruce Whittington and Scott Bastian say they are still considering their options.

Current Mayor Rob Hutchins has already declared his intentions to seek another term as mayor and councillors Steve Arnett and Jill Dashwood are vying for a return trip to office.

Arnett made his inten-tion clear at the August 2 council meeting and later told the Chronicle there are a lot of ‘legacy’ projects he wants to see through.

Chief among them is a resolution Ladysmith will be taking to the Union of BC Municipalities ask-ing government to help municipalities take con-trol of their watersheds.“There’s more work

to do yet and I haven’t accomplished every-thing I wanted to get done,” said Arnett, not-ing the last three years have gone by quickly.

When he first stepped forward for council, Arnett said he knew a lot of the initiatives he wanted to see through would take severa l

years.“It’s a long process but

it has to be done. It’s a legacy to our children.”

How the town deals with waste treatment is another issue Arnett wants to be a part of over the next term.

Arnett is pleased with a lot of things council has accomplished over the last three years, but says he does wish there would have been more done in economic devel-opment.“It isn’t for elected offi-

cials to create business, but we are certainly there to create the con-ditions for good business. I think we can work harder on that one.”

While he has enjoyed his first three years as a councillor, Arnett knows the council has critics, and he is fine with that.

Arnett said he can handle the criticism, but does not appreciate people who think elect-ed officials are auto-matically corrupt, easy targets for slander.“They can be as caus-

tic and satirical as they like, as long as it’s done respectfully.”

And as for any new-comers looking for a chair and name plate around the table, Arnett

has some advice, ‘Do your homework.’“When you are doing

the people’s business, you need to understand that there’s lots of joys in that, but to make a considered, thoughtful decision for the future, you need to do your homework.”

Dashwood said she thinks this council has put in a lot of work and effort over the last three years and has found a great stride after a steep learning curve at the beginning of the term.“There ’s some suc-

cesses and there’s some more stuff to do,” said D a s h w o o d . “ We ’ v e learned a lot.”

Affordable housing and dealing with secondary suites are two issues Dashwood would like to see council deal with over the next term.“That would be really

important to me,” said Dashwood.

She said she has always tried to put families first and wants the town to continue to be a great place to live.

Dashwood is also keen on the waterfront plan. She said she, like many others, do not want to see the waterfront over-

developed and is excited about the opportunities presented by some of the larger housing develop-ments in the northwest corner of town.“We want to leave it

(the waterfront) for the people of Ladysmith.”

Dashwood said she has some concerns about Ladysmith’s downtown core and wants to see more business fronts filled.“We need more busi-

nesses.”Dashwood said she

would like to see more businesses catering to two local assets in Ladysmith; maritime travel and the thriving arts and culture sector.

Dashwood added that she gets compliments about the town’s focus on green l iving and wants to see more of it.“We could really pro-

mote that.”As for facing crit i -

cism as a councillor, Dashwood said they are never going to be able to please everyone all the time.“There is going to be

somebody that doesn’t agree with something that’s going on,” said Dashwood. “I signed up for it, I knew what I was signing up for. I wouldn’t be running again if I couldn’t handle it.”

Dashwood strongly suggests anyone inter-ested in running for council should start attending meetings.“Be prepared for a dif-

ferent life,” she said.

Four members undecided about vying for return trip in November

“There’s more work to do yet.I haven’t accomplished everything I

wanted to get done.”Steve Arnett, running again.

If you want to know what’s cooking, look no further than Ladysmith resident Lyndsay Wells.

Wells is the recent win-ner of the Real Women of Philadelphia con-test, 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 thou-sands of entrees to par-ticipate 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 inter-esting 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 bro-ken down into differ-ent weeks for each cat-egory. 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 out-of-town guests, I always take them to Transfer Beach for a picnic, so getting the chance to show the country a lit-tle bit of what’s in our neck of the woods was really fun and I’m look-ing 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 mid-20s 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 discov-ered that I could,” she said. “I didn’t eat every single thing in sight and so during the whole

process of this, I’ve also lost 25 pounds.”

Not only has she attained her goal to run Westwood Lake by end of summer, but she has recently conquered Holland Creek Trail and plans to run a half mar-athon in October.“ I ’m exper ienc ing

th ings that are a l l around us that I never got off the couch to go find,” she said. “It’s amazing how you can enact change in your life.”

In addition to host-ing the Real Women of Philadelphia, Wells was also awarded $20,000. She plans to use some of the money for philan-thropic purposes, and the rest for a Cooking Tour in Italy or a kitch-en renovation.

In her spare t ime, 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 hap-pen in my life and what I am going to continue doing is just living life, getting out there, tak-ing chances, doing new things and seeing where the winds of life take me.”

Local cook cream of the cropNiomi PearsonTHE CHRONICLE

Lyndsay Wells is a guest host on an online cooking show after winning a Philadelphia contest.

While many of her classmates spent the better part of their sum-mer 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 pro-gram in July.“It was amazing, it was

a life changing experi-ence,” 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 a b o u t t h e p r o g r a m 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 privi-lege to be able to head over there this summer and participate.”

From July 2-23, Convey worked under the super-vision of Ph.D student Diana Lim, who is cur-rently working on neu-rological activity and circuitry in the mouse brain.“Three weeks is a very

short time in the sci-ence world. So while I was there I got to help her with an experiment where we injected chem-ical 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 trac-ers 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 dis-ease 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 dif-ferent 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 par-ticipated in a number of other activities including observing an open-heart surgery.

Convey said the expe-rience has broaden her potential career path, though she has consid-ered the medical field for some time.“I realized that neuro-

logical 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.

Willow Street crash

RCMP and Chemainus fi re de-partment personnel discuss a single ve-hicle accident which left a van, pictured here, up against the Small, Tall Treats shop on Willow Street in Chemainus on August 8. The vehicle sideswiped a parked BMW before coming up onto the sidewalk.NIOMI PEARSON/CHRONICLE

VICTORIA – B.C.’s job market held steady in July, with unemploy-

ment 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 gov-ernments around the world started frantically borrow-ing to bail out major indus-tries. There are still idle construction cranes around B.C., although the vital com-modity markets have recov-ered.

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 coun-tries out there ready to beat us up and take our lunch money if we give them half a chance.

The Canadian and U.S. cen-tral banks have held interest rates near zero since the cri-sis. If something more goes wrong, they are “out of bul-lets,” 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-sup-ported pensions now work for government or its agen-cies, 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 alleg-edly 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 actu-ally 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 consump-tion taxes because they’re difficult to avoid. Many tax-payers dislike them for the same reason.

This is the road that leads to Greece, where tax eva-sion is considered a civil right along with fat pay and pensions. The same popula-tion expects to go to univer-sity at little or no cost until they’re 30, and then retire at 55, with the whole appara-tus somehow held up by the dwindling band of workers in between.

T h e l a t e s t c o n t r a c t d e m a n d s o f t h e B . C . Teachers’ Federation give a sense of their Greece-like 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 ship-building 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 tank-ers have been going up and down the coast for decades, and back and forth under the Lion’s Gate Bridge for years.

It’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 licens-ing 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 administra-tive and enforcement nightmare than anything. Not to men-tion 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 enforce-ment 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.

There may be more than one rea-son 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 expe-rience can be unpleasant. Two out of the three times I’ve taken the trolley have been disappoint-ing. 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 spe-cific. The driver told me that the trolley was not meant for joyrides, but instead was a vehicle for shop-ping.

I was surprised at being con-fronted 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 shop-ping. 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 play-offs 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

barriers and regulations. In order to build ridership the trolley needs to be somewhat user-friendly. 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.

Whomever proposed an RV park at Slack Point, is right on the money.

Think like a tourist for a bit, driv-ing the Island, come across our town, great park, interesting look-ing 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

the issue of boat sewage could be addressed with the pump-out/sani-dump facility. The list of pros goes on and on.

Yes it might cost a few bucks, but the land is just sitting there, year after year.

I was p leased to read the Cowichan Valley Trail was opened near Chemainus train station. I’ve included it in my runs. I’ve also made use of the benches under the roof at the train station, mostly to catch my breath. On the subject of the benches, last I looked they had been removed. Anyone know why?

Re: Green Party gets lost in the static by Tom Fletcher August 02, 2011

I think your Mr. Fletcher should do his homework about smart

meters and the deadly health effects it can have on people and the environment for animals, birds, bees etc.

These devices that are scheduled to be installed throughout British Columbia must be stopped. Mr. Fletcher please research a little more thoroughly before you make such uneducated statements. If this stupid meter program goes through you will also be living in and surrounded by electromagnet radiation. Believe me, you won’t like it.

Mike HayhoeChemainus

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 wire-less meters because, as Fletcher men-tioned, we have precautionary policy on EMF radiation.

Our policy was revised in 2010. The initiatives we wanted implemented prior to new meters – feed-in tar-iffs, 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 dif-ferent 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 pre-cede changing meters.

Fletcher may dismiss health con-cerns associated with WIFI, but people have a right to feel safe and healthy in their own homes. Those who chose not to use wireless tech-nology should not be forced to do so.

As I said at the news conference, wireless smart meters are a techno-logical solution looking for a prob-lem. With shrewd marketing, the companies that developed wireless smart meters have become wealthy with sole-source contracts from gov-ernment after government. At some point, given deficits and debt load, we will need to reverse the decision-making process so that long-term plans actually precede implementa-tion of new technology.

Other jurisdictions are putting mor-atoriums on or cancelling the instal-lation of smart meters. We are rec-ommending BC Hydro listen to valid privacy, security and health concerns and change course.

Matthew PetersonTHE CHRONICLE

Dan Ostler’s artistic journey started in the least likely of places.

The former military medical biochemist was wandering the aisles of a hardware store when he happened across a small set of kids’ water-colour paints for $1.39.

Ostler never had any interest in art, but he thought he’d give it a try.

“I though ‘ I ’m just going to pick this up and take it home and go play with it.’ From there it just developed very quickly.

His first painting was a landscape of Rosewall Creek. Within a few weeks, somebody had offered to buy one of his paintings.

That was 13 years ago.

O s t l e r m o v e d t o Ladysmith in 2001 and says he enjoys paint-ing scenes from around Vancouver Island.

Ostler is currently pa int ing a v iew of Genoa Bay.

Ostler turned in his water colours for the more forgiving acrylic paints around two to three years ago.“I felt I had gone as far

as I could go with it,” said Ostler on his deci-sion to switch styles, though he still does the odd watercolour.

When painting water-colour, it can be diffi-cult lifting or covering

any colours once on the canvas. Plus, anything you want to be white

has to be left untouched from the beginning. “You can get about 90

per cent of the way into a watercolour and com-pletely wreck it. Then it’s just garbage.”

In acrylic painting, Ostler said it is easier to paint it white and start over if he wants to change anything.

For Ostler, one of the greatest joys of being an artist is seeing the joy nice art brings to people.“Often people go by

something I was a little bit of a flop and they simply love it.”

Though, ironically, one of his favourites, a couple dancing, has not received many bites.

Ostler has his own website, www.danos-tler.ca and says he has

been shying away from gallery showings. While there are still great Ladysmith galleries, like Bayview, to show work, many galleries Ostler has been in take way too high a commission.

This , Ost ler feels , drives up the price and makes art less afford-able for people.

Ostler will be tak-ing his work to First Avenue for Arts on the Avenue coming up on August 28.

Provided the weather is good, Ostler said the event is a great chance for local artists to show off their work.“It’s one of the better

art shows on the Island. It is a very good thing for Ladysmith, it brings a lot of people in from other communities.”

Ladysmith Boundary Extension & Land Use Planning Proposal

The trio of singer/song-writers Gary Fjellgaard, Darrel Delaronde and Saskia will converge on Trans fer Beach 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 t h e y e a r n o m i n e e Delaronde, and Saskia, formerly of Holland, will bring their tales of the Prairies to life dur-ing 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 down-to-Earth music.”

T h i s y e a r m a r k s Fjellgaard, Delaronde a n d S a s k i a ’s s e c -

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.”

The three came togeth-er during a CD collabo-ration for the BC Food Banks, called Christmas Dream.“Gary, Darrel and I

liked the combination so much that we decid-ed, 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

cup of tea, but it’s ours,” Saskia said.

She added her favourite aspect of being a musi-cian is the opportunity to meet new people.“We usually play small

concert halls, small the-atres, community cen-tres 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

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 for-ward 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 wil l 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 fund-raiser for the Ladysmith R e s o u r c e s C e n t r e Association for their programs.

Admission is free but donations are encour-aged.

Saltair is getting ready to boogie with the third installment of this year’s Saltair City Limits.

The open-air concerts, which take place at the Saltair Pub, will be wel-coming the Bill Johnson Blues Band and The Twisters on August 13.

Larry Kossey, one or the concert organizers, said this is not your average blues band.

Victoria’s Bill Johnson, he said, has a habit of getting people out of their seats and getting down.“We’ve got what we’re

calling a blues and boo-

gie bash,” said Kossey. “It’s up-tempo blues, his stuff.”“Bill’s been playing the

blues in Victoria since the age of nine.”

Johnson is also up for a Western Canadian M u s i c Aw a r d t h i s year and has already received some blues awards.

Kossey said the previ-ous shows have been a great time and wants to see more come out to soak up the atmosphere

of the last two.The follow-up act, The

Twisters, are an even more up-temp ‘jump blues’ band.“They’ve been up for

Junos before too,” said Kossey, adding they have one of the most-respected harmonica players in David Hoerl.

Kossey said the shows are growing in popular-ity as word gets out and the weather, he said, has been as good as the performances.

Tickets are available at the Dancing Bean Cafe and the liquor store next to the Saltair Pub. More information is available at www.dancingbean.ca.

The final show of the year is August 27 and will feature two well-known cover bands the Steelwheels (Rolling S t o n e s ) a n d F a b Fourever (Beatles).

AttentionTeachers:

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 prod-uct 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 t ime, ’’ she said. “ I was excited to meet new people and have a change in my life. Actually, I never really

got homesick.’’Lloyd started training

with the track team on the first day of school.“The track was a little

bit different because we were doing more conditioning-type stuff,’’ she said.

Once Lloyd realized mom Sheila wasn’t going to be there to make her lunch, she settled into campus life.“I was busy, but I liked

being busy, ’’ Lloyd said.

Five days a week, she was on the track doing what she does best.“We eventually went

six days a week as we got closer to our outdoor season,’’ said Lloyd.

By the time January rolled around, Lloyd was ready to get into a meet after all that training.

The good thing about the training is she had plenty of company,

unlike here.“It wasn’t just me by

myself training on the cold Duncan track,’’ Lloyd said.“All the training paid

off. My times came down a bit.’’

The first meet was at the beginning of March at the University Nevada, Las Vegas. Lloyd attained personal bests in the 100 and 400 hurdles right off the bat.

Sizing up the com-petition brought some apprehension from Lloyd.“Some of the girls look

a little intimidating,’’ she said. “You can’t think about that and let it psych you out.

Lloyd did exactly that and her natural talents emerged for first in the 400 and fourth in the 100, a great start to her university track career.

A series of events followed in California, i n c l u d i n g o n e a t

Northridge where Lloyd secured another per-sonal best while win-ning the 400 hurdles.A pulled hamstring

before the Occidental Invitational was a bit of a drawback for Lloyd. Her coach pulled her out of the 400 as a pre-cautionary measure for nationals.“ I ’ve never pul led

my hamstring before,’’ Lloyd said. “It’s not fun.’’

She still ran the relay. “I was a little tentative going out, but it was fine.’’

Lloyd became increas-ingly more relaxed.“The weather was

nice. You didn’t have to wear layers and lay-ers of clothes,’’ she said.

“I prefer to compete in warm weather.’’

Along the way, Lloyd learned how to bal-ance the school and the track.

It was all quite thrill-

ing for Lloyd’s family to see her excelling. Sheila went to Alaska to get Haleigh settled initially and then watched com-petitions in California and Oregon.“It’s really exciting to

see them at that level and to see the teams as a whole,’’ said Sheila.

“They’re like a family.“As a parent, it makes

you feel better this was a good choice.’’

Lloyd’s best times are now 1:00.96 in the 400 at Northridge, California and 14.54 for the 100 in the Willamette Invitational at Salem, Oregon.

During the Western Canada Games, held in Kamloops Sunday, Lloyd took home 4th in the 100m hurdles.

As she prepares to return to Alaska as a sophomore, “I guess it’s more comfortable,’’ said Lloyd. “I know what to expect.’’

Flying over the hurdles with the greatest of ease, even during ca-sual informal workouts at the Cowichan Sportsplex has long been Haleigh Lloyd’s trademark. DON BODGER/BLACK PRESS

DAVID RYAN PRINGLE BORN MAY 24, 1978

DIED JULY 29TH, 2011.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 diffi 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 fi 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 Ryan’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, fi shing, snowboarding, animals and the outdoors.

In lieu of fl owers please send donations to either the SPCA or WWF

(World Wildlife Fund) in his memory.

Pleased to announce our engagement

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.

Happy 1st AnniversaryNathan and Melissa ReillyMarried August 7th, 2010
