Councillors don’t support Anderson’s moorage projectLindsay ChungTHE CHRONICLE

”The Town believes the project is not in the community’s interest and should be denied.”

This is the message the provin-cial government will hear from Ladysmith council after coun-cil was asked to provide Crown land referral for an application by Pamela Anderson for private moorage within DL462 on the Ladysmith Harbour.At its June 3 meeting, council

voted to direct staff to tell the pro-vincial government that council believes the application should be denied because it is not in the community’s interest and that there has not been a dock structure within DL462 for many years. As part of an upland devel-opment proposal for these lands on Chemainus Road in 2008, the owner agreed that the lands shall not be used for a marina or any marina be connected to the lands.

Council will also tell the Prov-ince that “it is important that Crown tenure decisions protect the existing shellfish harvesting areas in Holland Bank, which is an important local economic and business sector” and “the Town is currently reviewing its regulation of private moorage.”

The purpose of the Crown land application is for a “Commercial A”

land use.“The commercial use of the pro-posed moorage is unclear,” Felic-ity Adams, the Town’s director of development services, wrote in her staff report. “The applicant describes the proposal as the construction of a dock to provide moorage for light watercraft de-scribed as kayaks, lasers and other light watercraft for the exclusive use and benefit of the upland de-velopment where nine strata units are proposed to be established in the future. An application for de-velopment of the upland has not been received by the Town.”

The water lot DL462 is located near the Holland Bank shellfish tenures held by Limberis Seafood.

Limberis Seafood has noted that the construction of a new dock would negatively impact the wa-ter flow in the area and reduce the company’s harvesting area due to Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) regulations requir-ing 125 metres of separation be-tween a dock and shellfish area.According to the proposal, the

purpose of Anderson’s application is to develop a walkway, ramp and float for “moorage for light water-craft associated with upland de-velopment. No watercraft should be capable of any discharge of ef-fluent, hydrocarbon or other into the surrounding water.”

Proposed Couverdon build out expected to take ‘30-plus’ years Nick BekolayTHE CHRONICLE

A Couverdon-TimberWest devel-opment proposed for the north end of Ladysmith is expected to take decades to complete if approved by municipal and provincial regula-tors.

Frank Limshue, Couverdon Real Estate’s director of planning and zoning, said the build-out Couver-don has proposed for a 710-acre parcel of TimberWest property located northwest of Ladysmith

“would happen over a 30-plus-year period.”

But before Couverdon and parent company TimberWest can proceed, they will have to successfully navi-gate their way through a series of approval processes beginning with an official request for a boundary expansion.

Couverdon will file an official request for a boundary exten-sion with the Town of Ladysmith

“within the next month and a half,” Limshue said.

If their request for incorporation is approved by Ladysmith — Tim-berWest has offered Ladysmith title to 450 acres of land adjacent to Stocking and Holland lakes in exchange for the boundary expan-sion — the Town will then forward Couverdon’s application to the Ministry of Community , Sport and Cultural Development for provin-cial approval, Limshue added.

If the Province green lights the incorporation, Couverdon would then have to collaborate with Ladysmith to amend both the

town’s Official Community Plan (OCP) and the property’s zoning designation, Limshue said, before confirming that there is “still a lot more discussion to be had with the community.”

The TimberWest property in ques-tion is currently located in CVRD Electoral Areas G and H where it is zoned primarily as F-1 with a northern section zoned A-1.

TimberWest will pay $4,700 in taxes to Area H and an additional $760 in taxes to Area G for 2013, Limshue added.

Beyond a review of the current OCP and zoning revisions, Couver-don and TimberWest will have to abide by a number of other rules moving forward, including new

viewscape protection guidelines and “smart growth practices.”

TimberWest will be forbidden from future harvesting on “key viewscapes” visible from town, Limshue added, including lands ad-jacent to Stanton Peak.

Couverdon, meanwhile, will have to abide by a smart-growth proto-col that will include “well-designed communities promoting mixed land uses — residential, commer-cial and recreational — which encourage diverse housing oppor-tunities, green infrastructure, and [development that] is respectful to the natural landscape,” Limshue said, adding that Couverdon in-tends to work “with Ladysmith to further define smart growth prac-

tices.”Over the course of the next three

decades, Couverdon aims to de-velop “approximately 1,500 units,” Limshue said. “Ultimately, the number of units

and other details of the develop-ment would be determined in cooperation with the Town of Ladysmith,” Limshue added.

Ladysmith Mayor Rob Hutchins said the assessment of Couver-don’s application once it’s received has been identified by council as a

“strategic priority,” adding that it’s “difficult to say at this time how long the Town’s assessment would take.” “As we have done with other boundary extension requests, the Town requires that significant work takes place prior to council’s con-sideration of a formal boundary extension request so that we can determine if this proposal is consis-tent with the community’s Sustain-ability Vision and strategic direc-tions,” Hutchins added.

Hutchins envisions a future Cou-verdon development as one that includes “well-designed compact neighbourhoods [where] residents can choose to live, work, shop and play in close proximity.”

The village-style development is expected to house approximately 2,500 residents according to Cou-verdon’s projections, Hutchins said, adding that it will take decades to build up.

Hutchins confirmed that Cou-verdon would cover the cost of connecting Couverdon with Lady-smith’s existing water and sewer infrastructure.

Ladysmith council has changed the start time of its Monday, June 17 meeting to 4:30 p.m. so councillors can attend the Nanaimo-Ladysmith School District Enhanced Facilities Plan public forum, which will take place that night from 6-9 p.m. at Ladysmith Secondary School.

***Increasing the fee

for providing a Tax Certificate by $5 is one of the changes being proposed as the Town of Ladysmith updates its Fees and Charges Bylaw.

Council approved the proposed changes and gave the bylaw its first three readings June 3.

It’s being proposed that the cost of provid-ing a Tax Certificate rise from $15 to $20. The bylaw also includes a $25 charge for NSF cheques, returned items and stop payment. Other fees include 10 per cent of the refunded amount (to a maximum of $25) for refunds of current-year property taxes prior to the tax due date; $3 per folio for mortgage listings of property taxes owing; $450 for infor-mation about annual property tax levies for the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board; and $10 per folio for a copy of the original property tax notice.

***Council recently took

the first step in allowing a mobile food service on Ludlow Road.

Notice is being given for a temporary use per-mit application to permit a mobile food service at 930 Ludlow Rd. north of Wash Me on Ludlow. It would offer french fries, hamburgers and hot dogs, served from a small RV trailer on wheels.

LINDSAY CHUNG/CHRONICLE

Coffee drinkers helped Tim Hortons in Ladysmith raise money on Camp Day (Wednesday, June 5) to send two local children to summer camp for 10 days in July, at no charge to the family. Ladysmith Tim Hortons owner Dave Milne was impressed with the community support for Camp Day once again this year. “It’s a great event and has a strong fol-lowing,” he said. “We get such tremendous support from the community. There’s a lady from Campbell River who drives from Campbell River to Victoria every year and stops at each Tim Hortons because her nephew went to camp. It’s a dynamic day right across the country.” Across the country, Camp Day raised a record $11.8 million for the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation — enough to send 16,000 children in Canada and the U.S. to camp. Pictured here are, from left, Shelley Maasanen, Ladysmith Tim Hortons owner Dave Milne, Coun. Duck Pater-son and manager Andy Milne.

The proposed walk-way is 135.8 metres (445.5 feet) in length. The ramp would be hinged perpendicular to the walkway and rest on the float, and it is proposed to be 13.68 metres in length. The concrete float would be 184.4 square me-tres (1,984.86 square feet) and would be equipped with racks

for light watercraft and designed with swales for easy launch and recovery, accord-ing to the proposal.

In 2008, Anderson proposed a multi-fam-ily residential devel-opment on the upland parcel, and at that time, she committed that a marina would not be constructed in the wa-terfront area adjacent to the subject property,

according to Adams’s report. This agreement was never executed and the permits for the development were never issued.

Leo Limberis was at the council meeting, and he spoke about how his family’s com-pany could be impact-ed by this proposal.“This particular site

we’re talking about is the Holland Bank and

is comprised of about 36 acres of probably the best clam beaches in all of British Co-lumbia,” he said. “It’s one of the best natu-ral seeding grounds in B.C.”

Limberis explained that one of the issues he has is that there is a 125-metre radius from the point of a dock or wharf where shellfish culture or harvesting is prohibited.“If you were to take

that diagram 125 me-tres, it cuts well into that 36-acre site,” he told council. “The issue with us is the radius of that enclo-sure and what hap-pens when someone decides to bring a big live-aboard boat, who’s to stop them? I’m not trying to be unreasonable; I’m just trying to make sure we cover all the bases and we don’t open Pando-ra’s box here.”

There are five par-cels of land on Holland Bank that comprise a contiguous site, and this particular site in question is one of the best, said Limberis.“That particular site

happens to be one of

the best parcels of that entire site, and it comprises perhaps 30 per cent of that site, 25-30 per cent,” he ex-plained. “We’re talking tens and tens of thou-sands of dollars of lost income for that site, there’s no question about it. It’s one of the largest and one of the most prolific and one of the most renowned sites in all of B.C.”

Coun. Bill Drysdale was concerned about the size of the “mono-lithic concrete float” and the potential for

float planes.“What really concerns

me is it talks about wa-tercraft, but I don’t be-lieve float planes are watercraft, and that’s a possibility if they had to do any maintenance there,” he said.As well, he noted that

somebody could come up in a large water-craft, anchor off shore and get into a little din-ghy and pull up to the dock.

Coun. Gord Horth wondered why the Town would compro-mise a site that is envi-

ronmentally sensitive and is an economic generator, and he also was concerned this is a one-off, noting the Town needs a compre-hensive look at zoning around moorage.“I think it’s a poor one-

off, and we should say we’re not interested,” he said.As part of these dis-

cussions, council di-rected staff to develop regulations for private moorage and shellfish culture use as part of the Zoning Bylaw up-date project.

The Board of Education is currently consulting parents, students and the pub-lic about its Proposed 10-Year Enhanced Facilities for Learning Plan. During the next two weeks, the Board will be holding public forums to discuss the pro-posals in the plan. The format of these forums has been designed to encourage dialogue and discussion. At each meeting, there will be a short introductory session, followed by individual discussion groups on topics of importance to each community and a short closing session.

The meeting scheduled for your school zone will be on:Cedar and John Barsby zone schools: Wednesday, June 12, 6 to 9 p.m. – Cedar Community Secondary Gym. Discussion group topics will include the proposed closures of North Oyster Elementary and South Wellington Elemen-tary in June 2013; Cedar Secondary in June 2014; and Woodbank Primary and North Cedar Intermediate in June 2015. NDSS and Woodlands zone schools: Thursday, June 13, 6 to 9 p.m. – Wood-lands Secondary Gym. Discussion group topics will include the proposed closures of the Five Acres School in June 2013 and VAST in June 2014, as well as the future plans for Woodlands and NDSS Secondary and Cilaire Elemen-tary schools. Ladysmith zone schools: Monday, June 17, 6 to 9 p.m. – Ladysmith Second-ary Gym. Discussion group topics will include the proposed closure of Davis Road Elementary in June 2014, as well as future plans for Ladysmith Primary, Intermediate, and Secondary schools. Dover Bay and Wellington zone schools: Wednesday, June 19, 6 to 9 p.m. – Dover Bay Secondary Multi-Purpose Room. Discussion group topics include proposed enrichment programs, future plans for Departure Bay, Rutherford and Seaview Elementary schools .

The plan proposes many significant changes to schools in our district and it is important for the Board of Education to hear parents’ input. We hope that as many parents as possible will attend one of these forums and participate in the discussion groups.

In addition, at any time during the consultation process, individuals and groups can submit written input to the Board of Education via email [email protected], fax 250 741-5309, or mail to the Board of Education, 395 Wakesiah Avenue, Nanaimo, BC by Monday, June 24 at 4 p.m.

Ladysmith dancer headed to Canada’s National Ballet SchoolLindsay Chungthe chronicle

Canada’s National Ball School has been providing elite dance training to students from around the world for more than 50 years, and this summer, Lady-smith’s Meghan Henry will get a chance to learn from some of this country’s top teachers at the school.

Henry, who recently turned 13, will be tak-ing part in a three-week Canada’s Na-tional Ballet School Summer Intensive in Toronto this July.

Henry says this is the second step of the audition process for the National Bal-let School’s full-year program. The first step was a workshop and audition in Victoria this past October.“It was really good be-

cause we got to have a feel for what the sum-mer school is going to be like,” said Henry. “A teacher from National Ballet who is going to be teaching at summer school came, and we got to meet her.”

Henry leaves for To-ronto June 30, and the program runs from July 2-22. She says she will be dancing five days a week and will spend the week-ends doing excursions, such as visiting Niaga-ra Falls. “I’m really excited be-

cause it’s really close,” she said. “I’m excited about the classes we’re going to take and what we’re going to do on the weekends. I’m going with one of my friends, so we’re always talking about it.”

Henry says the class-es will be mainly ballet, including a repertoire and pointe classes, as well as modern and jazz. She doesn’t think there will be a final show, but parents are invited to come watch

their children in the final week so they can see what they’ve been working on and how they’ve improved.

Henry says she is a bit nervous because she’s never been away from home for three weeks before, but she’s more excited than anything.“I’m looking forward to meeting the new teachers and hearing what they have to say and their critiques and also the different styes I might take there that are different from my home studio,” she said.

“Overall, I’m really ex-cited to go because not many people get this opportunity.”

Henry says that if she does well at the

Summer Intensive, she could be accepted into the National Bal-let’s full-time program, which means she would move out to To-ronto and stay there for a whole year. She isn’t sure yet if that is a goal of hers or not.

Henry, who is in Grade 7 at École Da-vis Road Elementary, dances five days a week with the Kirk-wood Academy of Performing Arts in Nanaimo.“I like the structure

and how it’s a way to express myself non-verbally,” she says about ballet.

Besides ballet, Henry also dances modern, jazz, tap and musical theatre.

Henry has been do-ing ballet for 10 years. She says she hopes ballet will give her new opportunities and also the chance to meet new people she wouldn’t meet other-wise.

She feels ballet has helped her grow a lot as a person.“I think I’ve learned

a lot about myself through ballet, and I’ve learned a lot about the dance world and about new people, and I’ve got to meet new people,” she said. “I think I’ve learned to be more open through dance. I think that I’m typically a more shy person, and I think dance has really opened me up. I think

I’ve learned to trust myself more.”

Henry feels it takes many long, hard hours and a lot of practice to become a successful dancer.“It takes passion be-

cause you can find pretty feet anywhere in the world, but you can’t always find someone who has pas-sion also,” she added.

Kirkwood Academy owner Carolé Martyn taught Henry at the Frank Jameson Com-munity Centre through Ladysmith Parks, Rec-reation and Culture when she was “just a tot” and has seen her progress through the years at Kirkwood.“Meghan always prac-tises her dance by herself, and this extra work and dedication has led to her doing re-ally well on stage and in exams,” she said.

“She has a dancer’s body, and with that, she works hard, is will-ing to learn and is pas-sionate about dance. Being accepted to the National Ballet School for the summer is a special honour, and I know Meghan will make the very most of the opportunity.”

Henry’s current teacher, Chantelle Norris, is also very proud of her.“Meghan is a true joy to teach and a dedi-cated, quiet-mannered young lady bound for the stage,” she said.

“Born with the rare gift of an all-around phy-sique for classical bal-let, Meghan possesses the ability to look like a swan with little exer-tion. Her legs just go, her body just turns — she looks effortless at times. Meghan’s prog-ress within the studio walls of Kirkwood Academy has been praiseworthy, and we are all very excited for her and this momen-tous opportunity she has been given.”

Hat Night will kick off ArtBeatNick Bekolaythe chronicle

ArtBeat returns to downtown Chemainus for a second year be-ginning Friday, June 28.

Friday night festivi-ties debut for summer 2013 with a “Hat Night” where visitors are en-couraged to “don their most outlandish head-gear,” states an Art-Beat press release.

Hat Night kicks off ArtBeat’s 10-week summer run, return-ing every Friday night from late June through to the end of August.ArtBeat’s Phil Mavis

said that organizers “were thrilled with the response to last year’s ArtBeat, so we’re just going to tighten up a few things and build on the success of what was a much-talked-about event that Che-mainiacs and visitors seemed to really en-joy.”

One small change for this year’s iteration of ArtBeat includes a later start to Friday-night entertainment showcases. ArtBeat’s feature entertainment will take to the stage at 8:15 p.m. to allow visitors more time to

“check out the artwork, listen to the buskers,

do some shopping and then sit back and relax for a few minutes,” Ma-vis explained.

Painters, sculptors, potters and photogra-phers who participat-ed in last year’s event were pleased with the public’s response to ArtBeat and many are returning for a second year to take part in a an event that showcas-es Island talent.

ArtBeat has signed up a talented cast of artists for year two, but they’ve yet to fill their roster.

Local artists are in-vited to participate for the 2013 season, Art-Beat’s Peggy Grigor said, and anyone in-terested in signing up should visit www.art beatchemainus.com for more details.

Last year’s ArtBeat “brought the south block of Willow Street to life last summer,” said Mavis. “It was great to see people grooving to the music, dancing in the street and marvelling at all the talents. We know it’s going to be bigger and better in 2013.”

For more informa-tion on ArtBeat con-tact Phil Mavis at 250-246-2434 or Peggy Grigor at 250-416-1411.

Ladysmith Second-ary chose a pair of scientifically minded, engaged students as valedictorians for its graduating class of 2013.

Hahlay Buck and Ben Cawthra were scheduled to deliver a pair of valedictory speeches at Friday’s commencement cer-emony and Saturday’s graduation banquet, preparing their pre-sentations by ex-changing additions and revisions via e-mail while Cawthra was competing in the BC Provincial High School AA Rugby Championships in Ab-botsford.

Buck said their speech would focus on “who we are as a grad class and how we’ve grown more in the past five years than in our seven years in elementary school.”

Buck and Cawthra were surprised by the news of their nomina-

tions — both students received so many nominations that LSS chose to skip a vote

— and both admitted to experiencing mild cases of stage fright. “I was in shock

when I first find out,” Cawthra added, “but it was kind of cool.”

Buck, meanwhile, said she considered her nomination to be

“an honour.” “I just hope we don’t mess up,” Cawthra added.

Buck and Cawthra both credited their in-volvement in student-run volunteer organi-zations as the primary reason why they were nominated.

Buck served as one of LSS’s three “grad executives,” acting as liaison between this year’s graduates and students’ par-ents. She also served as president of the LSS Green Team this year, overseeing the installation of a na-tive plant garden on school grounds.

Cawthra, meanwhile, has played rugby with

the 49ers for the dura-tion of his tenure at LSS. He’s also a mem-ber of Roots, an LSS club promoting so-cial justice; Cawthra sheered his shoulder-

length locks down to stubble to help Roots and LSS raise $1,600 for Cops for Cancer.

Cawthra made an additional cameo in the school’s 2013 spring musical, Legal-ly Blonde, as the “gay pool boy,” as “Elle’s father” and as a court-

room guard, he said.Both Buck and

Cawthra are mem-bers of LSS’s Grade Eight Leaders team which sees them guid-ing LSS’s youngest students through the transition from inter-mediate or primary school to high school.

As for future plans, both of LSS’s vale-dictorians have their sights set on the med-ical field.

Cawthra will attend the University of Vic-toria’s kinesiology program starting in September, he said, in pursuit of a post-grad-

uate degree in physio-therapy.

Buck, meanwhile, will relocate to Kelowna to study gen-eral sciences at the University of British Columbia’s Okanagan campus. After com-pleting a bachelor of sciences, Buck said she plans to pursue medicine.Assuming academic

inclinations are any indication of future prospects, all signs point to success for both students; Buck’s favourite classes at LSS were chemistry and biology, while Cawthra admitted to fostering a love-hate relationship with physics, crediting his teacher Bob Boyko with keeping things interesting.

Buck summed up her outlook on gain-ing entrance to the world at large by sharing her earnest enthusiasm regarding university life. “I don’t know anyone

else [from LSS] who’s going there,” Buck said, adding that she’s looking forward to a

“fresh start.”“I think it’s exciting,” she added.

Nanaimo Airport can now report runway conditions to NAV Canada considerably faster than before with the installment of a new device funded by the federal govern-ment.A $30,000 electronic

runway condition re-porting system, paid for through the feder-al Airports Capital As-sistance Program and installed at the end of March, will provide timely, ac-curate and p r e c i s e w i r e l e s s r e p o r t -ing and recording of runway conditions.“ B e f o r e , there was a lot of pa-p e r w o r k work to be filled out by hand, and the in-formation would have to be faxed in,” said Reg Brady, operations manager at Nanaimo Airport. “It would take 15 to 20 minutes each time. Now it takes eight seconds from the time we take the mea-surement. It frees up a considerable amount of time for us, and pro-vides better feedback to the dispatchers making the decisions for pilots.”

The device is an on-board computer in a pickup truck that feeds information re-motely to an office computer which re-lays it to NAV Canada.

When runway condi-tions call for it — usu-ally when there is sig-nificant precipitation in the form of rain, frost, ice or snow — the truck is deployed to measure friction on the runway by de-celerating rapidly ev-ery 300 metres. About 12 deceleration tests are done along the length of the runway. If results warrant it, a chemical is used to dry the runway, or snow-plows are deployed. The information is re-layed to NAV Canada

dispatch-ers who a d v i s e incoming pilots if it is safe to land.“ T h i s

equipment will allow pilots to r e c e i v e r u n w a y condition i n f o r m a -

tion much sooner dur-ing rain and winter conditions which will enhance safety for travellers,” said Mike Hooper, Nanaimo Air-port Commission pres-ident and CEO.

On June 24, WestJet will begin non-stop daily service between Nanaimo and Calgary using its Encore fleet of Bombardier Q400 NextGen aircraft, and Air Canada will con-tinue its service to Vancouver using its de Havilland Dash 8s.“The landing require-ments for jets and tur-boprops is different,” said Brady. “For both services, this new fea-

ture will improve safe-ty and efficiency.”

N a n a i m o - A l b e r n i Conservative MP James Lunney made the official funding an-nouncement May 31 at Nanaimo Airport on behalf of Minister of Transport, Infrastruc-ture and Communities Denis Lebel.“People will be able to

fly into Nanaimo with a greater confidence,” said Lunney. “The air-port is an economic driver in our commu-nity, it’s an important economic hub and it is becoming increasingly busier.”

Quoted in the Chronicle

One of Premier Christy Clark’s first tasks of the

new term will be to re-sume trade talks with Al-berta and Saskatchewan.

Several daunting tasks await. Clark must repair relations with Alberta Pre-mier Alison Redford after B.C.’s theatrics over oil pipelines before the elec-tion, and prepare for the results of a federal envi-ronmental review of the Enbridge Northern Gate-way proposal in the fall.

Some people were sur-prised May 31 when the B.C. government released its final written submis-sion to the federal envi-ronmental review panel on Northern Gateway. It was widely interpreted as B.C.’s outright rejection of the project, but it’s not as simple as that.

Clark and B.C. Environ-ment Minister Terry Lake signalled several times before the election that they were not getting the answers they wanted from Enbridge. But they stuck to

the principle that the hear-ings must be completed.

The NDP repeated for months that the B.C. Lib-eral government had for-feited its own review and handed jurisdiction over the environmental assess-ment to Ottawa. In fact, a pipeline that runs across two provinces is by defi-nition a matter of federal jurisdiction. B.C. could have held its own parallel set of hearings, which was the NDP’s stated prefer-ence, but in no circum-stance does the province have a veto. And both the B.C. Liberal government and Enbridge were careful to leave the door open for further talks.

A closer reading of their comments shows that the key difference at this stage is one of timing.

“The panel must deter-mine if it is appropriate to grant a certificate for the project as currently proposed on the basis of a promise to do more study and planning after the cer-tificate is granted,” Lake said. “Our government does not believe that a cer-tificate should be granted

before these important questions are answered.”

According to Enbridge executive Janet Holder, those important questions can’t all be answered until the hearings are over. The company maintains that every river crossing and spill response plan can’t be done in detail during the two-year hearings.

B.C.’s final submission runs to nearly 100 pages. It goes into detail on the inconsistencies and unan-swered questions on such vital topics as whether di-luted bitumen can sink in water. In short, the prov-ince argues that it can sink if the oil is in fresh water, or if it is exposed to weath-ering so lighter fractions evaporate, or if it is mixed with sediments that in-crease its density.

These are pertinent con-ditions if heavy oil were to leak into a river in spring-time, when water runs fast and cold and brown with sediment. Then there are the obstacles presented by responding to a spill in re-mote wilderness and heavy snow.

Given both provincial and

aboriginal opposition in B.C., the Enbridge pipeline is unlikely to be imposed, and Conservative cabi-net minister James Moore clearly ruled that out. The B.C. government has con-sistently maintained that the current project does not meet Clark’s often-repeated five conditions, including the vaguely de-fined “fair share” of rev-enues, and Moore said the federal government agrees with those conditions.

The B.C. government has to face some other uncom-fortable realities as well. If heavy oil pipelines are such a risk, how does B.C. manage the one that has stretched across remote and populated areas for 60 years? Does the govern-ment take a stand against new pipelines, and then watch as rail cars full of heavy oil cross those same rivers? No permit is re-quired for that, and in fact there are more hazardous materials than oil moving by rail and road across the province today.

Municipal politicians from across the country flooded into Vancouver re-cently for the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ convention. And while their backgrounds were diverse, their

message was strikingly similar: fix the funding.It’s not a new complaint. For decades, Canada’s mu-

nicipalities have been telling Ottawa they need more money if they are to do the things they are increasing-ly expected to do. The complaints began in the 1990s when the federal government cut funding as it dealt with a ballooning deficit and public debt. As transfer payments to provincial governments shrank, so too did many of the services the federal government tra-ditionally provided (like low-cost housing).

Today, cities are faced with providing services they never did in the past, particularly in the realm of so-cial services, transportation and policing.

They’ve done this because they’ve had little choice. There is no one left to download the cuts to.

Instead, they must find new revenue from a taxpayer pool that is shallow and offers little flexibility. Defer-ring expenses is an option, but as roads and bridges deteriorate, it leads to an infrastructure deficit.

That’s left municipalities calling for a change in the way cities are funded.

According to a report released at the convention, municipalities only receive eight cents of every tax dollar raised, despite their expanding responsibilities.

There were promises of new money at the conven-tion, but that’s not enough. What is needed is a change in the way the funding flows.

Would we stop in Ladysmith with our RV? Probably not.

Editor:

Re: Don Harrison’s letter about an RV park in the June 4, 2013, paper

Mr. Don Harrison has quoted some interesting misnomers about RV owners and RV parks. RV owners and boaters do not necessarily have “deep” pock-ets. I am happy to say my hus-band and I are proud owners of an older motorhome, which we saved for; we continue to bud-get our trips.

As motorhome owners, we do not normally shop in the towns we stay in. Why? Because we usually carry as much food and things as we need. If we shop, we usually stop at big box stores, because they have large parking lots that can accommodate a 34-foot motorhome that is hauling our car (Mr. Harrison, you can-not back up a motorhome that is hauling a car) and they have known brands we are used to at the best possible prices — yes, we watch what we spend.

We plan our trips, and we stop at interesting and unusual towns that offer unique shops, interesting sights, restaurants that have local fare, such as seafood/fish since we’re on an island. Yes, Ladysmith has a waterfront; so do most of the towns on Vancouver Island.

After travelling the entire East Coast of the U.S. and Canada last year, we always found some kind of fresh fish/seafood restaurants from clam/shrimp shacks and lobster pounds to more elaborate menus. What does Ladysmith offer that is un-usual or different?

We also belong to two RV clubs that offer 10 to 50 per cent off nightly rates at certain RV parks; if not, then we boondock (free) where we can, as we are totally self-contained.

Mr. Harrison, you state that this town has been studied to death; well, I disagree with you.

If there had been some kind of study done on RV parks, you and council would realize that

in order to sustain this type of business, you’d have to operate it year round to make any kind of profit, unless the owner is in it as a hobby and doesn’t care about profit. There is nothing in this town to stay and do for more than two nights, and if we could find something to do for more than one day, we’d prob-ably camp up closer to Nanaimo and drive back to Ladysmith for the day. Having an RV park doesn’t necessarily mean peo-ple would actually stop here, let alone shop here.

Ladysmith did not do any kind of transit study and look what’s happened to the trolley, one big albatross.

We love living here, but would we stop with our RV? Probably not.

Be careful with the new ‘plastic’ money

Editor:

Be very careful with the new plastic money.

I recently made a deposit at my bank at the bank machine. Two of the $50 plastic bills stuck to-gether without me knowing. Fortunately, the bank caught my error.

Another time, I counted a pile of plastic bills four times be-cause the bills kept sticking to each other.

You ask me, “Do I like the new plastic bills?”

My answer: “No.”

Gwen Jahelka is stepping down as principal of St. Jo-seph’s School in Chemainus following the end of the school year.

Jahelka has served as the private Catho-lic school’s admin-istrator-in-chief for four years, she said, and is taking leave to join her husband in Calgary, Alta., in early July.

Jahelka referred to her departure as “bit-tersweet” while field-ing a hug from a young student during recess.

The school’s parting principal began her career with Catholic schools in Alberta be-fore relocating to Van-couver Island to teach Grade 4 at St. Joseph’s for three years. She

then served as the re-ligious education co-ordinator for Island Catholic Schools for three years before re-turning to St. Joseph’s to serve as principal.

Jahelka will assume the role of school chaplain with a Cal-gary Catholic School District high school, putting her master’s

degree in religious ed-ucation to good use as she “ helps kids with their spiritual jour-neys,” she said. “It’s a great time for

change, and I’ve al-ways believed that when you leave you make room for some-one else,” Jahelka added. “You make your mark and move

on.” Bern Muller, the

school’s Grade 6-7 teacher, has been se-lected to succeed Ja-helka.

Muller has taught at St. Joseph’s for 17 years, Jahelka said, and he “will continue our mission of Catho-lic schooling with pas-sion and conviction.”

Ladysmith achieves carbon neutrality

Community Carbon Credits have helped Ladysmith become car-bon neutral.

The Town of Ladysmith has achieved carbon neutrality for 2012 by investing in 365 tones of Community Carbon Credits with the new Community Carbon Marketplace (CCM), the first online community carbon market in North America.

The CCM is accessible by community-based greenhouse gas (GHG) initiatives and local governments, and it directs offsetting dollars to invest in the devel-opment of a local low-carbon green economy to balance communities for a healthy planet.

According to a news release, Ladysmith emerged as one of the few municipalities com-mitted to balancing its GHG emissions through the CCM entirely from local GHG reduction initiatives.— Staff Writer

They’ll need to find more display space on the walls at Art of Brewing and Winemak-ing after winemakers Art Lindala and Dave Lamontagne won sev-en medals at the recent WineMaker Interna-tional Amateur Wine Competition.

Lindala and Lamon-tagne make their award-winning wines at the Ladysmith on-premise wine- and beer-making shop, owned by Lindala.

Lindala has entered the WineMaker In-ternational Amateur Wine Competition ev-ery year since 2008 and has brought home medals each year.

This year, Lamon-tagne won two gold medals and two silvers, and Lindala won three silver medals.

Entering his first WineMaker Interna-tional Amateur Wine Competition, Lamon-tagne won gold for a plum wine he made from plums from his own backyard and to which he added straw-berries and kiwis. His second gold medal came for an espresso coffee port.

Lamontagne won a silver medal for an apple tatin port and a silver for a strawberry hazelnut port.

Lindala won a silver medal for an urban spiced mead made with honey from Fred-rich’s Honey, as well as a silver medal for a Lodi California zinfan-del and a silver for a chocolate orange port.“I’m really pleased

with what Dave did,” said Lindala. “It’s the first time he’s entered, and to see him win two golds is fabulous. They don’t give them out very easily. Dave’s

pretty particular about all the important parts of winemaking.”

Lindala says the WineMaker Interna-tional Amateur Wine Competition, run by WineMaker magazine in California, is the largest amateur wine-makers competition on the planet, with more than 4,500 entries.

This year was the first year Lindala attended the competition and conference, which was held in Monterey, Calif.

Lindala sees compe-titions like this as a learning experience, first and foremost be-cause the winemak-ers receive the judges’ comments afterwards.“These are profes-

sional wine judges who have trained palettes,” he said. “When you get their comments back, they’re quite valuable. You can see if you are doing things right or wrong.”

Lamontagne started making wine at home about 20 years ago.“The two most impor-

tant people in wine-making are trial and error,” he laughed.

“Hopefully not too much error.”

Lamontagne says

winning two gold med-als was “just a shock.”“Art put my wine

in there,” he said. “I would have never done

it myself.”Lindala started mak-

ing wine and beer as a hobby about 20 years ago.

Congratulations

Peter RuslandBLACK PRESS

There’ll be a load of hoofin’ happenin’ in Chemainus Theatre Festival’s next musical romp, Singin’ In The Rain.

Some of the fancy footwork comes courte-sy of Leon Willey cast as

Don Lockwood — the rain-soaked role made legendary by Gene Kelly in MGM’s 1952 hit movie.

Willey will be opposite Rachel Harrison as girlfriend Kathy Selden, and Jonathan Purvis as pal Cosmo Brown, in an adaptation directed by choreographer Tracey Power.

He is also wild about his newest theatre gig because he will be sharing the stage with his professional-dancer wife, Krista Konkin, who plays a movie exec’s gal-Friday. That’s the same stage the couple met in 2007 during CTF’s production Anything Goes.

It’s all come full circle for the 36-year-old Moose Jaw-based actor, who also appeared in the theatre’s farce Noises Off, and longed for a role like Lockwood.“The biggest excite-

ment I have is to tell this kind of story.“The basis is there’s a

group of silent-movie actors making the leap into talkies. Like silent stars back then, some didn’t make the leap very well as their voice was terrible, or they couldn’t speak English very well.”

That situation gives way to a love story, he explained.

Lockwood tires of performing with fading silent-era actress Lina Lamont (Emma Slipp)

“when he meets a feisty,

together girl named Kathy and he’s taken aback.”“It’s the � rst time Don’s

ever been challenged by a woman in that way,” Willey said of the show-biz bonanza.“He falls madly in

love — not only do I get to sing and dance with Kathy, but I also have these lovely scenes.”

Toss in a mob of mov-ie-making characters, plus Steven Green� eld’s onstage musicians, and

Rain could � ood houses.“We wanted to stay true

to the original music,” Willey said. “If anyone’s seen the � lm, they’ll instantly recognize the songs.”

His favourite is the title tune.“This is a bucket-list

role for me,” said the Bowen Island boy who attended Vancouver Film School.“The cast is all solid

actors; I was attracted by the artistic team,” he

said, likening the action to playing tennis.

But tap-dancing wasn’t always Willey’s racket — it meant plenty of sole searching for dance skills after landing the lead role.“I basically tap danced

every single day until I got better and faster,” he said, noting lessons from Konkin, and at several dance schools.

Willey described Rain’s moral as being about taking risks to

grow.And about the water

during that famous Singin’ In The Rain routine? “That’s a bit of a secret, but it will de� -nitely rain — someone might get splashed if I’m feeling extra frisky,” Willey said.Your ticket

In the game

49ers are second-division champsNick BekolayTHE CHRONICLE

The 49ers capped off their pro-vincial high school AA Rugby sea-son as second-division champions Saturday, June 1 at Rotary Stadi-um in Abbotsford.

Ladysmith Secondary School’s boys’ rugby team entered the tour-nament Wednesday, May 29, as a second-division team following a

“Top Eight-Bottom Eight” match versus third-place St. Michaels University School Saturday, May 25.

Ranked 14th going into their St. Michaels matchup, LSS held their rivals, referred to by coach Gord McGeachy as a “longtime AAA pro-vincial powerhouse who switched to AA this year,” to a 14-6 lead in the first half.

Following halftime, though, St. Michaels “started to put it on,” se-nior 49er Ben Cawthra said, lead-ing to a final score of 42-14.“In the last 10 minutes, they scored on nearly every run,” Cawthra added. “At that point, we knew we were done and we knew we were going to lose.”

Once they arrived in Abbotsford, though, the tides turned in their favour and LSS parlayed a trio of wins into a Second-Division Championship.

The 49ers squared off first against 11th-ranked Glenlyon-Norfolk Wednesday, May 29, earn-ing themselves a “well-earned”

12-5 victory through the efforts of Everrett Beleksy, Mike Needham and Cam Hall.

Game two saw LSS butt heads with Vernon’s seventh-seeded Clarence Fulton School Thursday, May 30. “In an incredibly physical and tight match the boys dug in de-fensively and pulled off a 14-10 upset,” McGeachy said, crediting the 49ers’ victory over Clarence Fulton to Jade Cambran’s lone try and a trio of penalty kicks by Hall.

The 49ers wrapped up the tour-nament Saturday, May 31 in a game versus Vernon Secondary School.

The LSS-VSS matchup began with “a few tense moments at the end of the first half,” McGeachy said, but the 49ers managed to

“get back on track early in the sec-ond half to secure a 27-17 victory.”

McGeachy credited tries by Cawthra, Hall, Cambran and Anto-nio Corbin alongside a pair of con-verts and a penalty kick scored by Hall with locking up their final victory.

Hall capped off his fifth and fi-nal year with the 49ers as captain, earning himself one of 15 spots on the B.C. Rugby Commissioner’s Honorary All-Star Team, Cawthra said.

McGeachy congratulated Hall and his fellow Grade 12 players for having completed “a remark-able five years with the LSS rugby program” and he thanked them for their hard work.

SportsChronicle

Seven cyclists complete Eau de Hell series

When the Eau de Hell Week marathon cycling series returned to the Cowichan Valley in late May, seven cyclists were able to complete the full 1,500-kilometre Eau de Hell Week series.

Eric Fergusson completed his sixth Eau de Hell Week series

— four “brevets,” or marathon rides, that began and ended in Chemainus — in a cumulative time of 68:59. He was followed closely by series founder Ken Bonner, 70, of Victoria, who was also completing his sixth series and had a cumulative time of 69:08. Yutaka Moriwaki of Japan finished his first series in 70:15, while Henk Bouhuyzen completed his fourth series with a cumulative time of 76:06. David King completed his first series with a time of 77:29, while David Robertson had a time of 78:14 in his first series, and Eric Guillemot finished his first Eau de Hell Week series in 79:14. Alex Pope received an honourable mention for completing three circuits for a total of 900 kilometers.

Twenty cyclists completed the 200-kilometre Tour of the Cowichan Valley, while 17 finished the 300-kilometre Coast2Coast. Nine people completed the 400-kilometre Lost But Not Forgotten circuit, and eight finished the 600-kilometre Ukee Pokee.

Lindsay ChungTHE CHRONICLE

For nearly 30 years, runners and walk-ers of all levels have been descending upon Chemainus for a unique evening run-ning event.And they’ll be back

Tuesday, June 18 for the 29th running of the Legion Twilight Shuffle five-kilometre run/walk. The event starts at 7 p.m. at Wa-terwheel Park.Advance registration

is still open at www.raceonline.ca, and runners and walkers can register on race day at the Chemainus Legion right up until the start. Registration costs $45, and online registration closes at midnight Saturday, June 15.

Chemainus native Phil Nicholls started the Twilight Shuffle 29 years ago with his mother Lorna.“The Legion Shuffle,

which shares the same birth year as the famous Sun Run in Vancouver, has main-tained all of its local roots,” he said. “The Chemainus Legion ties run very strong still, with all of the vol-unteers, co-ordinating and the very longevity of the run because of [those ties]. It’s quite amazing because some of the original volunteers with the Legion are still there.”

Nicholls, who was the first local winner of the Victoria mara-thon and went on to become a nationally-ranked marathoner, is a past winner of the Legion Twilight Shuf-

fle, as is his wife Cher-yl. Past winners of the Chemainus race have included Olympians, Kenyans and world-class triathletes.

“I ensure an accurate course, a race like I have always run, and in the end, the lead of community which I see every year from the Legion is what it is about,” he said. “We will always strive to be better.”

The Twilight Shuffle has seen numbers as big as almost 1,000, when people filled the streets and Michelle Wright rocked O Can-ada in 2003.

Numbers are a bit softer these days, con-

tends Nicholls.Nicholls says that

when he first started the Twilight Shuf-fle, he envisioned it would be as big as the Sun Run someday. Al-though the numbers haven’t reached those heights, Nicholls is happy with what the run has become.“I always envisioned

it as what it has been, a good community event and the link to the community,” he said. “It’s very grass-roots. Everybody’s al-ways had a good time.”

Every year, the money raised from the Legion Twilight Shuffle goes toward athletic bursaries for Chemainus Secondary School students and to different charities, such as mental health charities.

Nicholls hopes to see a big crowd sup-port this fun event as it nears its 30th year.“The 5K is a very do-

able distance for any-one, and walkers are encouraged,” he said.

For more informa-tion, contact Nicholls at 250-595-2378.

PELTER, Irene RuthOctober 13, 1927 - June 3, 2013

Irene remained strong willed to the end, dying with family by her side. Predeceased by her husband, Lou (1999); grandson, Nathan Pelter (2000), and other family members. Survived and lovingly remembered by sons: Wayne, Lyle; daughter, Diane (Gerald) Burt; grandsons, Casey Pelter, Owen and Colton Burt; sister, Miriam Scott; brother, Don (Irene) Leischner; brother-in-law, Al Pelter, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Irene was born in Piapot, Sask, moving to Vancouver Island where she met and married her loving husband, Lou in 1948. They raised their family and resided in Cassidy until 1993, when they relocated to Nanaimo. Irene was a wonderful wife, mother, friend and caregiver to all. She created a home where family and friends were always welcome to enjoy a meal, a drink AND conversation. Irene’s positive and upbeat personality reflected in her many involvements in the home and community.

A Celebration of Life will be held at Nanaimo Sands Funeral Chapel, 1 Newcastle Avenue, Friday, June 14, 2013 at 2p.m.

The family wish to thank Dr. Forrester and the staff in Cottage #2 Wexford Creek for the care and compassion that was given to Irene.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made on Irene’s behalf to Wexford Creek Good Samaritan or Alzheimer Societies.
