Community a big part of historical bookLindsay ChungTHE CHRONICLE

The new book about the his-tory of the Ladysmith and Dis-trict Credit Union (LDCU) is very much a celebration of com-munity, and community support played a huge role in its comple-tion. Author Patrick A. Dunae says it

was a challenge to put together Ladysmith: Our Community. Your Credit Union. A History, a book commemorating the LDCU’s 70th anniversary that came out in late April, because they didn’t have a lot of time to get the book done, but it was a wonderful project. The book was commissioned by LDCU CEO John de Leeuw. Dunae started working on it in October and needed to have the book fin-ished by the end of February to allow for production and print-ing so that it was ready for the LDCU annual general meeting at the end of April.“This has to be one of the most

enjoyable projects I’ve ever worked on,” said Dunae, a public historian, writer and consultant who lives in Victoria. “The fact that we didn’t have a whole lot of time really focused the mind.”

Dunae started out by looking at archival records of the inspector of credit unions in BC Archives and Central 1 Credit Union in Vancouver.

He says the Chronicle became a good resource during his re-search.“I relied on that,” he said. “It’s

just a tremendous record of lo-cal history, and it was one of the best weekly newspapers I’ve ever read in my career as a local historian. From the 1940s to the 1970s, the AGMs of the Credit Union were front-page news in the Chronicle. From those reports, I was able to identify a number of the original mem-bers.”

Duane consulted microfilm copies of the Chronicle at BC Archives and copies of the paper at the Ladysmith Archives, oper-

ated by the Ladysmith and Dis-trict Historical Society.“The Ladysmith Archives is an-

other wonderful source of infor-mation, and in my experience, it’s one of the best community ar-chives I’ve seen in the province,” said Dunae. “The volunteers at the Archives were able to iden-tify many of the early members and put me in touch with their descendants. Dave De Clark was a tremendous help; Dave helped identify many of the early resi-dents who were founding mem-bers of the credit union.”

Duane found the volunteers at the Ladysmith Archives helped him find people to interview for the book, and he also found their historical cookbooks were very helpful because they contained biographies of so many families.

The Archives’ collection of photographs was also very help-ful.

“We used about 80 photos in the book,” said Dunae.

Dunae says it was actually a

bit of a challenge to find suitable photographs to illustrate the last 70 years of Ladysmith’s his-

tory because most of the photo-graphs at the Archives are from the mining era. He encourages community members to consid-er donating images of Ladysmith since the Second World War to the Archives to expand the se-lection.

When he first started the proj-ect, Dunae was introduced to Rob Johnson, who gave him a walking tour and gave him lots of information.“His father was one of the earli-

est members of the Credit Union, so he was able to tell me how the Johnson family was involved in the early days of the Credit Union,” he said. “He also helped me clarify lots of parts of the lo-cal history.”

Dunae says that after a while, he got to recognize some of the names of some of the prominent families in Ladysmith.“I was really happy to see the

connections through different generations,” he said, noting as an example that Lorna De Clark was the Ladysmith Princess in 1954, and then he found a photo of 2013 Ladysmith Ambassador Kristy De Clark, and he found out Kristy is Lorna’s niece.“It was a real pleasure and privi-

lege to meet so many interesting people and to have them share their recollections of not only the Credit Union but of the com-munity.”

When LDCU wanted to write its history, John Hinde recom-mended Dunae because the tow were colleagues at Vancouver Is-land University, and Dunae had written a history of the Nanaimo Credit Union before, explained Dunae.“That was helpful because I

knew which government re-cords to look at,” said Dunae.

de Leeuw and his assistant, Lin-da King, contacted Dunae at the end of September, they met, and de Leeuw commissioned Dunae to go ahead with the project.“[LDCU board of directors pres-

ident] Brian Childs was also very helpful because he knew very many of the early members, like Rod Glen, and Brian was also a key player in the revitalizations in the 1980s,” said Dunae. “When I started this project, I had very little idea about the history of the credit union or Ladysmith, and I was delighted to find some ma-jor figures in B.C. history related to Ladysmith, like Sam Guthrie of the CCF (Co-operative Com-monwealth Federation). Rod Glen, a native son of Ladysmith, was a giant in the international credit union movement, and not many people in Ladysmith seem to know that“There were all sorts of distin-

guished people associated with the Credit Union and the com-munity, and it was a treat to learn all about them.”

Copies of the book can be pur-chased at the LDCU for $20, and all proceeds from the sales are going to the Ladysmith Archives and the Ladysmith Museum.

Patrick A. Dunae is grateful to all the people who shared their stories, photos and information

Multiple cougar sightings in Ladysmith believed to be same cat

There has been a fair number of cou-gar sightings in Ladysmith in the past few weeks, but so far there has been no harm done.

Nevertheless, local conservation offi-cer Stuart Bates is cautioning the pub-lic to be aware of the animals when us-ing walking trails.

He confirmed up to four cougar sight-ings in recent times.“There was one spotted at Transfer

Beach on June 28, one spotted on the Holland Creek Trail, one above Hol-

land Creek (to name a few),” said Bates. “We’ve had a couple of unconfirmed sightings as well where we don’t know whether it is a cougar or not, and that doesn’t really help us. We’ve found cou-gar tracks as well.”

Right now, all of the sightings are be-lieved to be the same cougar.“Presumably, it’s the same cougar,” said

Bates. “The time frames have been far enough apart to assume it’s the same cat. Cougars are solitary animals, unless it’s a mother with kittens, and in that case, they can be carried for up to two years.”An unconfirmed sighting was reported

as recently as July 6.

Bates wants the public to continue re-porting sightings as soon as possible.“You have to report them to us ASAP,” he said. “With this heat, it’s hard to track the trails, as they disappear. We’d have to be there within minutes or at least an hour. Our dogs aren’t magic. In the fall, we can extend the search for up to seven hours, sometimes 24 hours, but not in this heat, as the trail disappears.”

Bates’ main advice is to not scream or run away from a cougar if you spot one or it spots you.“Never scream a high-pitched scream, as it sounds like a wounded deer,” he said. “You should make yourself as big

as possible, either with coats, umbrel-las, and pick up small children, as the cougars aren’t smart enough to realize it’s two people.“You also want to stare into the cou-gar’s eyes as it’s waiting for you to turn around. Airhorns are also good to have. If you are using any of the trails, people should be aware of them, but not fear-ful. So far, we’ve had a few sightings, but nothing extremely bad has hap-pened that we know of.”

If you see a cougar, call the Conser-vation Office at 1-877-952-7277 or the Town of Ladysmith Parks supervisor at 250-245-6448.

Karl Yuthe chronicle

With the next Cana-dian federal election scheduled for 2015, some prospective candidates are begin-ning to emerge in the newly formed Nanai-mo-Ladysmith riding.

The Conservative Party of Canada does not have any con-

firmed candidates in the riding at the moment, according to Will Geselbracht, electoral district as-sociation president, who also said there aren’t any set dead-lines for declaring yet.

The Nanaimo-La-dysmith riding has four approved federal NDP candidates so far, said Ken Pearce, electoral district rid-ing association presi-dent. Natasha Bob, Nanoose First Nation councillor; Kip Wood,

a math teacher in the Nanaimo school dis-trict; Dominique Ro-elants, a lawyer and professor at VIU; and Sheila Malcolmson, Islands Trust coun-cil chairwoman, are seeking the party’s endorsement.

The Nanaimo-Lady-smith NDP nomina-tion meeting is Oct. 5, according to Pearce, who also said nomi-nations close 15 days before the nomina-tion meeting.Andre Lemieux, rid-

ing association presi-dent for the federal Liberals, said there are quite a few inter-ested candidates but none he can currently mention. He said the riding association is aiming for a nomina-tion meeting in the fall but there is a potential scheduling conflict with munici-pal elections in No-vember.“There’s a conflict

with the civic elec-tions, so it’s one of our issues and we’re

trying to plan for the right time, not to conflict with the municipal elections,” Lemieux said.

He said the associa-tion would like to see prospective candi-dates declare as soon as possible and pref-erably before Aug. 1.

The Green Party of Canada doesn’t have any confirmed Nanai-mo-Ladysmith candi-dates yet and accord-ing to Kathryn Hazel, Green Party electoral district association

CEO, the party execu-tive targets people who have a strong history of community involvement and sup-port party policies.“The Green Party is adopting a strategy that we want to have several candidates lined up in different ridings and then we’re going to make a major announcement,” Ha-zel said, adding it isn’t known yet when the announcement will be made, but it is un-der discussion.

A mobile kitchen has been set up at the site of the Cassi-dy Country Kitchen, as the owners work towards re-opening the restaurant by the spring.A faulty cappuc-

cino machine was the cause of the fire that destroyed the entire building at

2930 Trans-Canada Highway on May 28, a case that Const. Gary O’Brien of the Nanaimo RCMP de-scribed as “non-sus-picious.”

This was not a case of arson.“Our plan is to re-build,” said owner Kristina Stauffer.

“The demolition has started and the current building is pretty much gone. We are moving for-ward as quickly as we can.”

Stauffer now has to go about apply-ing to the Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) for a new building permit, and she says the RDN has been “very co-operative and re-spectful.”

Stauffer herself has lived in the vi-cinity of Cassidy all her life, after grow-ing up in Cedar and attending high school in Ladysmith.“Our original thoughts were we would open up again in six months,” she said. “The way things are going, it’s

looking more likely we will open up in the late winter, early spring.”According to

Stauffer, continuing to look on the bright side is key in mov-ing forward.“It was devastat-ing; I’ve never been through a fire be-fore,” she said. “I’m

staying positive and hopeful as we move forward, that’s been the only thing that is keeping me going. I’ve wanted to own the building since I was a teenager.”

Stauffer first be-came the owner in November of last year and as of this past Sunday, she has

opened up a mobile kitchen close to the site to keep things ticking over.

The Cassidy Coun-try Kitchen Wagon is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. all week.

Further updates and details can also be found on the Cas-sidy Country Kitch-en Facebook page.

Join the purple martin party Staff Writerthe chronicle

The BC Purple Mar-tin Stewardship and Recovery Program is celebrating another year of success, and everyone is invited to join the party.

Wear something pur-ple on Sunday, July 20 and join the BC Purple Martin Stew-ardship and Recovery Program at its 10th annual open house at the Ladysmith Mari-time Society Com-munity Marina from 2-4 p.m. to celebrate the return of Western Purple Martins, a Spe-cies At Risk in B.C.

The B.C. Purple Martin population increased from five breeding pairs in 1985 to about 950 nesting pairs in 2013, mainly as a result of nest boxes built, installed and maintained by volunteers, according to a press release.

The warm dry sum-mer last year and a plentiful supply of flying insects result-ed in the Martins suc-cessfully raising more than 3,400 young, which is a significant increase over recent years.

“Although the fi-nal count for 2014 is not yet available, there has been an exceptional return of two- and three-year-old birds, as well as first-year birds (sub-adults), this year,” stated program biolo-gist Bruce Cousens.

“Many small- to me-dium-sized Central Island colonies are again fully occupied

and about 10 previ-ously unoccupied nest box sites around Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands are occupied for the first time this year. This is very exciting to see. The Martin colony at the LMS Marina is the largest on Vancou-ver Island, and we’re expecting about 70 pairs this year.”

During the open

house, visitors will be able to watch adults feeding nestlings, learn more about the conservation of Pur-ple Martins at various displays and hear sto-ries about Purple Mar-tins activities around the Strait of Georgia and other parts of Canada. Martin nest-lings will be banded at sessions scheduled for 3 p.m.

Light refreshments and the famous pur-ple (blueberry) milk-shakes will be served while quantities last.

The BC Purple Mar-tin Stewardship and Recovery Program is co-ordinated by Georgia Basin Eco-

logical Assessment and Restoration So-ciety (GBEARS) of Nanaimo. The Re-covery Program is supported this year by BC Hydro, Cana-dian Wildlife Service, Island Timberlands, Ladysmith Maritime Society, Mid Island Coop, Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, Pa-cific Conservation As-sistance Fund, Pender Island Conservancy Association, Timber-West, Victoria Natural History Society and Western Purple Mar-tin Foundation, as well as many individ-uals, local businesses and volunteers.

Parking has been expanded at Nanaimo Airport to meet demand, according to Nanaimo Airport Commission president and CEO Mike Hooper.

Hooper said the parking foot-print has been increased at the airport with a gravel parking area, the latest of which was installed two months ago.“We’ve added additional parking this year for 50 cars, and as we go forward, we’re going to rotate through and add gravel parking areas and as our customer base increases, we’ll pave them and add more and we’ll sort of rotate through that way,” said Hooper.

While there are no current plans,

the airport could add multi-level parking eventually, he said.“What we have is a long-term parking plan, and we’re working to ensure we meet our growing customers’ needs ... into the future, at some point, within the next sev-eral decades, we’d start to contem-plate things like a multi-level envi-ronment,” said Hooper.

The airport commission also an-nounced that the Century Flight Club’s B.C. Discovery Tour landed at the Nanaimo Airport this past weekend. The conference began Saturday, July 12, with delegates from across Canada arriving via 100 private aircraft, and it runs un-til Thursday, July 17.

Groups of 20 to 30 aircraft will take off each day of the confer-ence for day tours, said Hooper.


Editor:

I’m sure everyone in Ladysmith knows Jacob Reed, a wonderful man who lives and breathes mu-sic.

Jacob works at 49th Parallel Grocery, and he performs in a band called Peace Love and Joy. He is a huge Beatles fan, and it would be his dream come true to meet one of the Beatles.

This dream is going to come true this week in Vancouver.

Jacob’s mother’s best friend, Bonnie, bought Jacob and his mother, Lorraine, a ticket to see Ringo Starr perform at the Hard Rock Casino on Tuesday, July 15.

I really want this dream to come true for Jacob, and I want his mom to experience it with him, so I contacted the enter-tainment director at the Hard Rock and shared how much it would mean to Jacob to go have this experience, and he said he’s

going to make it happen. Jacob is going to get to meet Ringo and get his picture taken with him. This is going to make his world. He’s the biggest Beatles fan, and he plays drums too, just like Ringo.

Jacob is an amazing individual, and he and his mom really de-serve this, so I’m grateful I can make this happen for them.

Peace,Erin HagerLadysmith

The council considers complaints from the public about the conduct of member newspapers. Directors oversee the mediation of complaints, with input from both the newspaper and the complaint holder.

Editor’s note: The op-ed page in any newspaper is a great place to start important conversations. Readers are free to express ideas, and others are free to disagree with those ideas without attacking anyone personally.

By publishing a letter, the newspaper does not agree or disagree with the writer, but is providing an oppor-tunity for discussion. The editor reserves the right to not print something for a variety of reasons, including defamation, blatantly incorrect statements, or cover-ing ground that has already been written, but people are generally free to express their own opinion, and we hope that sharing those opinions generates meaningful discussions around many coffee tables.

Here, Michael Smith responds to letters reacting to a letter he wrote, which appeared in the June 10 Chron-icle. In their reactions to Smith’s original letter, both Laurie Harding and Brian Thom drew a parallel with Don Olsen’s infamous letter to the Nanaimo Daily News, but in his letter, Olsen claimed the history of First Nations people is “notable only for underachieve-ment” and made remarks that directly criticized ab-original people, which Smith did not do.

Let us have this debateEditor: I am shocked and alarmed that Laurie Harding found

my letter shocking, alarming, and misinformed.Why is it that these people, when faced with an opin-

ion they don’t share, question a newspaper’s decision to print it. Didn’t we fight a great war to defend freedom of speech?

Similarly, Brian Thom chooses to dismiss an opinion he does not share as the “ voice of a troll living under a bridge.”

The fact that many people disagree with some of the “ongoing legacies of our colonial history” does not mean we are ignorant, and certainly does not mean we are rac-ist.

I submit that there may be more “trolls” under the bridge than above it, and it may come as a surprise that many of us are well educated and well informed, even though we disagree with Harding and Thom.

Let us have this debate without censorship, as that is the last resort of those who are afraid their views may not be defensible.

Lindsay ChungTHE CHRONICLE

Songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jonas Shandel recently made the move from Van-couver to Chemainus so that he can focus on writing songs, and he’ll formally intro-duce himself to his new neighbours this Sunday (July 20) when he performs with his band Headwater at Concerts in the Park.

Headwater is de-scribed as a band that plays music that is freewheeling, fierce, sentimental and sexy

— music that is “like listening to the West Coast of Canada in song” — and is consid-ered one of the finest acoustic roots groups around.

Shandel formed the band in 2003 with his childhood friend Matt Bryant. In the past two years, Headwa-ter has gone through some transitions after Bryant left to pursue more music produc-tion. More recently, Shandel has been col-laborating with a va-riety of accomplished musicians, such as violinist Raquel Rawn, who also contributes backup vocals.“I like having these ex-

cellent musicians I can call up,” he said. “It keeps things fresh and exciting.”

Shandel started out playing drums, and just after high school, he played a lot of rock music. He played in a lot of what he calls

“bad punk bands,” and then he started listen-ing to John Hiatt and Old Crow Medicine Show in the mid-2000s, marking a shift to more roots/folk-influ-enced music.“That kind of got me

into roots/Americana music, and I just identi-

fied with that,” he said. “I started working with my guitar play-ing and singing and really tried to hone in my vocals as much as possible. Now, I con-sider myself a pretty decent vocalist and songwriter through a lot of hard work. It’s coming together, and it’s constantly evolving. I think my songs have personal meaning and also appeal to a wider audience.”

These days, Shandel is spending a lot of time in Nashville. He has a publishing deal there and goes down a couple of times a year.“It’s really cool,” he

said. “I do co-writes with all kinds of song-writers and artists and write for other artists and for my upcoming album. It’s been very inspirational getting to write with super talent-ed people. The whole experience has im-proved my songwriting quite deeply. And it’s a real hub of country and Americana music. I’m hoping to record my next album down there.”

Shandel just moved to Chemainus, and he’s currently building a home studio.“It’s time to leave the

city and focus on writ-ing songs and getting back in touch with creativity,” he said. “As soon as I’m done refin-ishing my hardwood floors and putting new windows in my house, I’ll write more.”

Shandel lived in Van-couver before making the recent move to the Cowichan Valley.“I just found Vancou-

ver to be a bit hec-tic, and I was, I guess, missing some of the subtleties and nu-ances for all the noise,” he said. “I lived in Ladysmith the last four months, and I found it’s quiet and the pace is slow, and I can just focus better. I think I’m more of a country, small-town person, at least for now. And I’ve been doing tons of writing there, so La-dysmith’s been really good to me.”

Shandel says he’s met a lot of really nice peo-ple in Ladysmith, and he’s excited for the chance to meet people more formally during Concerts in the Park.

Shandel performs with Headwater Sun-day, July 20 from 6-8 p.m. at the Transfer Beach Amphitheatre. Admission is by dona-tion, with proceeds going toward the Ladysmith Resources Centre Association’s community programs.

A&EChronicle

Lindsay Chungthe chronicle

It was going to see two legendary musi-cal acts as a young boy that secured Lon-nie Glass’s future.

In 1957, Glass’s mother took her eight-year-old son to see Elvis Presley perform in Toronto. Glass says that is the mo-ment he knew he wanted to be on stage.

In 1964, when Glass was 14 and taking music in junior high school, he saw The Beatles, and his fate was sealed.“When I saw them, that’s when I first

thought I would like to be a musician,” he said. “They were my first influence to try to play rock ‘n’ roll. For me at the time, they were the first band that really did these tremendous harmonies that hadn’t been heard, and their songs were so unique and catchy. Rock ‘n’ roll ended, and they were bringing in a new kind of contemporary music. I was just moved by their whole aura.”

Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Glass played in bands in Ontario as a bass play-er and singer. In the early 1980s, he and his boyhood friend started a ZZ Top trib-ute band, which toured for 27 years. Dur-ing that time, Glass began writing songs, and he hasn’t stopped.

Glass, who performs as Lonnie G, has recorded six CDs over the years, and he has a catalogue of 145 songs to choose from when he performs Saturday, July 19 at In The Beantime Café.

Glass’s discography dips into several genres, from folk to blues. In 2010, he

recorded the album Chapter of Night, which is all about the American Civil War.

Glass became interested in the Ameri-can Civil War after studying history in high school and university in the U.S.“Everything I studied down there was

history and English, and in history, the Americans are very focused on their own history, so consequently, I got really in-terested in American history,” he said.

“When I started touring in the 1980s, I did a lot of touring in the States, and I start-ed investigating all the places I would play. I did a lot of shows in the south-ern States, and during the day, I would go to museums, battlefields, newspaper

archives and libraries. I got really inter-ested in issues of slavery and the Civil War. In 2007, I started researching a lot of the Civil War, and after about three years of research, I just started writing songs that related to different events in the Civil War, different people in the Civ-il War, battles, the underground railroad and slavery.”

Glass recorded Chapter of Night in 2010 and organized a southern tour that summer, playing every day for eight weeks in places like South Carolina, Florida, North Carolina and Alabama.“It was like a concert about an Ameri-

can Civil War retrospective,” he said. “I played in schools, concerts, clubs, librar-ies, wherever I could get a crowd. It was a great experience.”

Glass and his wife moved to Victoria in 2011.

When Glass comes to Ladysmith, he will perform with Brad Hawkes on per-cussion. He will also share many stories.“I would say that I’m like a modern-day

troubadour,” said Glass, who doesn’t take a break when he performs. “Trou-badours used to go from town to town, and they’d sing and tell stories of what was going on around the world so people in small towns would know what was go-ing on. I feel like that’s what I do. I tell stories.”

Glass performs Saturday, July 19 at 7 p.m. at In The Beantime Café. Doors open at 6 p.m. Tickets are $10 for the show or $25 for the show and dinner, and they are available at the coffee shop

Question of the Week

DrivewayCanada.ca

Edgy Lexus looker enters crowded crossover marketWhere has the modern station wagon gone? Nowhere, it’s just called some-thing else–a crossover or small SUV. The traditional family station wagon has been replaced with taller, more practical SUVs that provide similar interior space but add functionality, like a power rear lift gate, all wheel drive (AWD) and better outward visibility. Automakers have taken notice and, with a few exceptions, have abandoned the traditional station wagon and produced a small SUV instead. This market has exploded in popularity to the point that it is the fasted growing segment in the market today.This is a tough battle-ground but Lexus hopes its track record of building high quality products will attract a new buyer to the NX.Looks“Bam, look at me. No, look at me,” screams this new NX. The edgy design will turns heads and gar-ner attention but I have come to realize two things about the car business. First, when a design is rather edgy, it can date quickly. The second is that the initial “bam, look at me” wears off, and the product just becomes part of the vehicular landscape, losing the initial pop. If you squint your eyes, just a bit, you can see the Toyota RAV4, the vehicle the NX is based on. The “spindle” grille that has now migrated across the Lexus family is very prominent, especially the F-Sport version of the NX. The F-Sport is the upscale, sportier model that Lexus hopes will attract the same youthful buyers that have moved into the Lexus IS compact car. The base

NX 200t doesn’t have as large a front grille but the side accent lines, swept front windshield and defined rear lights all make a statement. Other than the bigger grille, the F-Sport model also gets larger wheels, a sportier suspen-sion and LED headlamps on both low and high beam where the base model gets LED lamps only in the low setting.InsideThe exterior might be an acquired taste but the inside is a refined and practical

place to spend time. The same “spindle” motif is carried into the centre console, with aluminum accents pieces that frame the high-mounted centre stack. The shifter and computer controller are placed to perfection making it easy for the driver to interact with the NX without having to look down. The base con-troller is a rotary knob, similar to Audi’s MMI system, the optional Remote Touch system has a track pad that lets the driver scroll and press the pad, the same

way we all use a laptop touch pad. Above the controller is a 7-inch screen that displays the information and is positioned well, helping to keep the attention on the road ahead. The inside of the cabin might not look that invit-ing because of the sweeping roofline but in practice, it really is a comfortable 5-seat vehicle with standard 8-way power and heated front seats. The rear seats sit higher off the floor for good outward visibility and the headliner has been scooped out to help maximize the interior space. Cargo is on par with others in this class and a power litigate is optional.

DriveThe worldwide launch of the NX was held right here in B.C., driving between ultra modern Vancouver and the rustic resort of Whistler. International guests were exposed to the two sides of the NX, the polished city vehicle and the weekend getaway SUV. Powering around the mountain resort, I got my first shot at the all-new 2.0L direct in-ject turbocharged 4-cylinder that Lexus will use in a number of its vehicles. With 235hp and 258 lb.-ft. of torque this new power plant does a good job once the NX 200t is in motion; it is get-ting away from a stop that could use a bit more snap. AWD is standard across the lineup but the system is designed to run in front wheel drive as much as possible to help save fuel. Lexus has made no bones about its target; it sees the Audi Q5 as the benchmark in this class. Audi has been at the small turbocharged game a lot longer and it shows, plus the handling of the NX isn’t sharp at all. In fact, all the passen-gers inside the base model test vehicle noticed the top-heavy body roll.VerdictWhat Lexus (Toyota) has been up to over the past ten-plus years is

producing hybrid cars in numbers nobody else can touch. This new NX is also available as a hybrid, but don’t expect any kind of show-stopping performance. Rated at just 194hp, the heavier NX 300h hybrid might be outclassed by just-as-thrifty diesel options in the market. The price of the NX 200T has not been set but if you look at the Audi Q5 as a target, expect the price to start at roughly $41,000 when it goes on sale at the end of 2014. Fuel economy has also not been set but with a direct injection turbo-charged 4-cylinder under the hood, this new Lexus should be better on fuel than the larger RX350 equipped with a V6 engine. As the small SUV market continues to grow, and this new NX certainly is one of the most eye-catching to come along in a while.

Lindsay ChungTHE CHRONICLE

Two Mid-Isle Soccer Club players who have known each other their whole lives will get to experience their high-est level of competi-tion together this week when they participate in the BC Summer Games in Nanaimo.

Mary Nicholls and Ava Wilson, who are both 12 years old and both live in Ladysmith, will be suiting up for the Vancouver Island-Central Coast U12 Girls’ soccer team. This is the highest level they’ve played at so far.“It’s exciting, but I’m

also really scared at the same time,” Nich-olls said just days be-fore the Games begin.

Wilson shares her mixture of excitement and nerves.“It’s nerve-wracking,

but I think it will be a good experience,” she said.

Nicholls, who can play any position on the field except goal-keeper, has been play-ing on a U13 rep team since she was 10, and she has been playing with the Mid-Isle High-landers Youth Soccer Academy. She thinks that extra training helped her earn a spot on the BC Summer Games team, along with her parents, who supported her and mo-

tivated her.Wilson, who is a goal-

keeper and also plays with the Highlanders Academy, feels that a lot of determination helped her make the team.

Nicholls and Wilson have had a couple of practices with their BC Summer Games team, and on Sunday, July 13, they had two practices in Nanaimo and watched the World Cup final together as a team.“Barely any of us

knew anyone before, so we got a lot of bond-ing in,” said Mary.

The team’s first game is this Friday (July 18), and they will play two games on Friday, two on Saturday and one on Sunday.“All of the coaches are

really supportive, and I like my team a lot,” said Wilson. “I think we have a pretty good chance.”

With just days to go un-til the Summer Games, Nicholls says it would be really cool to win the tournament, and she thinks it’s going to be a lot of fun because they all stay together as a team in Nanaimo for the duration of the Games, and there will be a dance Friday and Saturday night.

Wilson is also getting excited.“I’d be so astonished if

we won, and I think it

will be good for bond-ing and making new friends,” she said.

Both Nicholls and Wilson started playing soccer because their siblings played.

Nicholls began play-ing because her sister played and she wanted to as well, while Wil-son saw her brother playing and thought it would be fun. Wilson stopped playing for a

year because she didn’t really like it, but she gave it another try, and she says she got really into soccer once she found out how fun it could be if she learned to play a little better.

Nicholls hopes to go as far as she can in soccer.“I’d really like to play

on Team Canada,” she said.

Nicholls counts her

sister Georgia as one of her soccer heroes —

“she’s gotten way better since she started rep, and so I wanted to,” she says — along with her parents, coach Bill Merriman and the Highlanders Academy. She also considers Ca-nadian national team member Christine Sinclair and American national team member Alex Morgan as heroes.

Wilson says Mer-riman and Nicholls, with whom she’s been friends since the day Nicholls was born, are her soccer heroes. She also looks up to American goalkeeper Hope Solo and Cana-dian goalkeeper Erin McLeod.

After the Summer Games and possibly some soccer camps during the summer, Nicholls is moving up to the second-highest level on the Island and will play with the Van-couver Island Premier League (VIPL) Storm Tier 2 U14 Girls, play-ing a year up.

Wilson will be play-

ing with the HCFC Rep Tier 3 U13 Girls this fall, and she will be part of the U13 VIPL Training Pool, meaning she could get called up for VIPL games throughout the season.

Nicholls’ mother, Kathleen, says both girls have gotten great training in Ladysmith to get them to this level.“The Academy has

been super instrumen-tal for both of the girls and the Mid-Isle Soc-cer Club, promoting them and giving them opportunities to play at higher levels,” she said.

Nicholls feels that through playing with the Academy, she has gained better ball control, and she feels she has much better touches on the ball and her shots have got-ten much harder. She also feels she’s learned a better understanding of soccer and has im-proved her vision on the field.

The Academy is where Wilson really started to learn how

to play in net, and she says it has taught her a lot.

Nicholls and Wilson may be the only lo-cal soccer players in the Nanaimo 2014 BC Summer Games, which kick off Thursday, July 17, but they are not the only locals participat-ing.
