WestJet Encore takes � ightLise BroadleyTHE CHRONICLE

A large crowd was on hand Mon-day, June 24 to welcome West-Jet Encore’s inaugural flight to Nanaimo Airport.

As one of the airline’s new aircraft taxied toward the terminal local politicians, airport employees and passengers broke into applause. The flight arrived on time from Calgary in what WestJet Encore president Ferio Pugliese hopes is just one of many direct flights from Calgary to Nanaimo.“This is just the beginning.De-mand has been very good,” he said.

“As time moves on and peopleget more familiar with it and start to build plans, we think it’s only going to continue to grow.”

Nanaimo is one of two new Cana-dian cities — the other is Fort St. John — to be chosen for the first round of Encore flights. As the car-rier acquires more airplanes over the next few years the regional service will expand to other com-munities across the country. Cur-rently, Encore is operating just two new 78-seat Bombardier Q400 tur-boprop airplanes but Pugliese said the company has already placed orders for 20 of the planes. They’ll be delivered one by one, roughly once a month, over the next two years and after that Encore has the option to order up to 25 more.“It’s a great aircraft. It’s the next generation; it’s smooth, it’s fast, it’s quiet and it’s very fuel effi-cient,” said Pugliese. “The fuel effi-ciency allows us to move it quickly but also do it in a very affordable fashion.”

That affordability is expected to benefit the consumer as WestJet and Air Canada Jazz compete for ticket sales. At the same time, the direct flights to and from central Vancouver Island are expected to boost the local economy, increas-ing tourism in the area and allow-ing people to travel easily to work in Alberta.“It’s going to open up all of south-

ern Alberta as well as Edmonton to the Nanaimo market. We saw what happened in Comox when WestJet came in there and we’re expecting the same type of economic stimu-lus with these direct flights,” said Russ Burke, chair of the Nanaimo Airport Commission. “It’s also go-ing to make air travel a little bit cheaper because we see competi-tion on the route .”

The plan to introduce a regional carrier to Nanaimo Airport has been in the works for about 10 years. In addition to removing trees and extending the runway, the airport has also installed an in-strument landing system to make the facility more attractive to car-riers.

On Monday, passengers were all smiles as they took advantage of the new service.“I think it’s just terrific,” said Crof-ton passenger Pat O’Brien as he waited to board. “I’m really pleased to be able to fly directly to Calgary from here. It saves a lot of time but the convenience of it is the most significant feature for me.”

WestJet Encore departs Nanaimo for Calgary daily at 12:30 p.m. For more information, visit www.westjet.com/guest/en/help/encore.shtml.

In brief Chomyn takes new job in West Shore

Ashley DegraafBLACK PRESS

The man electrocuted in a June 18 industrial ac-cident at the Chemainus River bridge construc-tion site has been re-leased from hospital.“It’s too early on at this point to know what happened,” confirmed Jacob Brothers Con-struction’s operating manager Paul Simpson, whose company was hired to complete bridge replacement.

Emergency crews at-tended the scene at about 2:14 p.m. after receiving reports a man had been electrocuted on site.“He was breathing and conscious when he left,” said North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP Cpl. Greg Pask at the scene

Tuesday. “He’s very lucky that’s all that hap-pened.”

The patient was flown to Victoria General Hos-pital, of which he was later released that eve-ning.“We’re just grateful he’s been released from hos-pital and he’s doing well,” Simpson said. “And at this point, we’re just co-operating with the safe-ty investigators.”

Simpson didn’t know how much if any delay in construction would occur as safety staffers with WorkSafe BC inves-tigate the scene.

He also couldn’t con-firm the worker’s name, or employer, but noted sub-contractors had been hired.

The project started June 11 and is due to wrap up Oct. 11.

After a year and a half with the Ladysmith RCMP, Staff Sgt. Larry Chomyn, has taken a new position with the West Shore RCMP. “For me, it was just an evolution for my career; it’s a promo-tion opportunity,” said Chomyn, who had been the Ladysmith detachment com-mander since January 2012. “The job with West Shore will bring on different chal-lenges. It’s a bigger detachment, so from a career point of view, that was the next step for me.”

Despite Chomyn’s decision to move on, he enjoyed his time in Ladysmith, and he be-

lieves that everybody is responsible for the great atmosphere of the town. “I personally think it’s an awesome town. It’s a very support-ive town; t h e c o m m u -nity, the counci l , and the m a y o r

— ev-erybody was very support-ive ... it’s a great policing environment,” he said.

In the short time that Chomyn worked in Ladysmith, he thinks the detachment made great strides when it comes to allocating

resources and getting the detachment fully staffed and function-ing.Along with the im-

provements made within the department, a stronger r e l a t i o n -ship has been built with the Stz’uminus and Penela-kut bands, he says.“We were able to get ourselves an all-weather boat capac-

ity, so that we could service Thetis Island, and Penelakut, and we got all the mem-bers of the depart-ment trained up with the utilization of that

equipment,” he said.The Ladysmith RCMP

detachment hasseen many improve-ments throughout the year, and Chomyn be-lieves that the depart-ment will continue to move in a positive di-rection. “I think anywhere, policing is always in a state of evolution and development. I think the detachment is going to continue to work on some of the priority issues that are identified with the community, such as prolific offenders and visibility,” he said.

There has not been an announcement of a replacement yet, but they are currently in the process of finding somebody, said Cho-myn.

Chemainus grads are a close-knit groupTyson Jonesthe chronicle

The 2013 graduating class of Chemainus Secondary School may be small, but over the past years, they have come together to form a tight-knit group that is always there for one another, say this year’s valedic-torians.

Fifty-one students came together Fri-day, June 21 to gradu-ate from Chemainus Secondary School. Though the group was small, they were lack-ing neither energy nor enthusiasm when each of them was called to accept their certificate of graduation.

Georgia Bennett and Donovan Stoochnoff were picked to be this year’s valedictorians. They don’t give much validation to why they were selected — the two young adults were being quite modest. “We were the only

pair that ran together, so that was a benefit to both of us,” says Bennett.“We are friends with

all the demographics of the school,” Stooch-noff added. “We have such a small grade, and we are close with all of the people in it.”

Both students were nervous to give their speech, but once they were behind the micro-phone, their worries

seemed to slip away. “We focus a lot on

how small our school is, how close we are, and how close we are with the teachers,” says Bennett. “The theme of our speech is sort of technology.”

Technology is some-thing that has brought major changes to edu-cation, and both vale-dictorians believed it to be something worth mentioning in their speech.“[Technology’s] just

something to tie our generation in,” says Stoochnoff. “We are

one of the few genera-tions that have grown up with the computer, so it’s something that sets us apart.”

Bennett and Stooch-noff are both moving on to post-secondary education in Septem-ber, but they have chosen very different paths.

Bennett will be moving to Ontario to attend Sheridan Col-lege, where she will be studying musical theater performance. She believes her fam-ily, which has always been very musical, is a driving force behind the decision.

Stoochnoff is stay-ing closer to home. He will be attending the University of Victoria this fall to take envi-ronmental studies and geography.

Council objects to proposals in SD68 planLindsay Chungthe chronicle

Right before attending the Nanaimo-Ladysmith School District public forum regard-ing the 10-Year Enhanced Fa-cilities for Learning Plan on June 17, Ladysmith council took a position against the pro-posed K-5, 6-12 model.

Council voted unanimously to “strongly encourage” trust-ees to adopt a plan that will see the continuation of a K-7 school with 200-400 students south of Holland Creek; to seek to establish a K-7 school with 200-400 students at the Ladysmith Primary School (LPS) site or work collabora-tively with the Town to acquire another elementary school site in a nearby location that will serve as a neighbourhood el-ementary school for the north end of the community; and to maintain Ladysmith Second-ary School (LSS) as a Grade 8-12 school and strive to utilize its present excess capacity by facilitating alternative educa-tion opportunities, providing adult education opportunities, daycare space, etc., and work with the Town’s Parks, Recre-ation and Culture department to facilitate community pro-gramming opportunities and add efficiencies.

In a statement read by Mayor Rob Hutchins during the June 17 council meeting, council expressed strong objections

to six components of the Pro-posed 10-Year Enhanced Facil-ities for Learning Plan as back-ground for the motion — the closure of École Davis Road with no plans to replace it in the same vicinity; the transfer of Grade 6 and 7 students to LSS and LSS becoming a Grade 6-12 school; the requirement that LPSl children will expe-rience three school changes during their elementary school years; the creation of a single large K-5 elementary school at the LPS site “which according to provincial guidelines has an inadequate land area for such a school population;” the concentration of Ladysmith schools along Sixth Avenue, which is also a corridor for emergency vehicles; and the proposed exclusion of North Oyster students from the LSS catchment area.

In the statement, Hutchins noted that for more than three decades, the school board has established and provided for the majority of its students a learning environment that seeks to ensure children stay in a single school setting as long as possible — K-7 elemen-tary and 8-12 secondary — and experience a minimal number of school changes — one. The board has also establish opti-mal school size guidelines of 200-400 for elementary and 600-1,200 for secondary.

Council noted that for Ladysmith children, the Pro-

posed 10-Year Enhanced Facil-ities for Learning Plan “in the short-term and the long-term does not reflect the long-estab-lished model of K-7 and 8-12 learning environment, or SD68 optimal school size guide-lines, and seeks to place all Ladysmith students on a single site with no room for growth.”

Council also stated that Ladysmith is a growing com-munity with significant areas of growth both south and north of Holland Creek, and the Ladysmith Sustainability Vision of 2008-09 articulated by the town’s citizens supports schools in neighborhoods within walking or biking dis-tance to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Council also noted that the Human Early Learning Part-nership’s Early Development Instrument has consistently shown that more than 30 per cent of Ladysmith kindergar-ten children have one or more areas of vulnerability.

In its statement, council expressed it has “strong con-cerns” about the safety of stu-dents in schools concentrated along Sixth Avenue in the vi-cinity of police and fire/rescue stations and about the negative effect on property values, the economy and the desirability of Ladysmith as a community due to the proposed centraliza-tion and proposed configura-tion of education facilities in Ladysmith.

North Oyster parents make the case for their schoolLindsay Chungthe chronicle

Why close a fully-equipped func-tioning school building?

That is one of the main questions North Oyster Elementary School parents are asking school trustees as the end of the school district’s 60-day consultation period for its Proposed 10-Year Enhanced Facili-ties for Learning Plan.

Fiona Steeves, co-chair of the North Oyster Parent Advisory Coun-cil (PAC), says one of parents’ big issues with the plan’s proposal to close North Oyster at the end of this school year and relocate students to Woodbank Primary and North Cedar Intermediate is the fact that North Oyster is a functional facility.“A significant portion of North Oys-

ter is less than 20 years old, and we are not one of the deteriorating fa-cilities, and it does not make sense to close it,” she said.

Steeves also pointed out that North Oyster has been considered a Ladysmith school up until this plan, which ties it to schools to the north.“Most of us feel tied to Ladysmith,”

she noted.Steeves says North Oyster parents

also have serious issues with the ac-tual process that the school district is undertaking around this plan.“The timing is horrendous for this

plan and the fact that we don’t find out until the end of school,” she said.

“If it does close, there is no time for transitioning to a new school. Basi-cally, the plan does too much too soon. We don’t disagree that there are changes that need to be made, but there must be a better way to implement them and to roll it out that doesn’t affect students in the short term.”

The Proposed 10-Year Enhanced Facilities for Learning Plan propos-es creating an arts-focused elemen-tary school in Cedar, and the North Oyster PAC has submitted its own proposal to the school board that would see an arts program at North Oyster Elementary School instead.“We have all the stuff they’ve talked

about putting in the new Cedar El-ementary,” she said, noting North Oyster has a fully functional stage and sound and lighting equipment, a kiln, a pottery wheel, print making equipment, a sewing room, a whole room dedicated to music and more.

North Oyster has a capacity of 294, and Steeves says there are currently 83 students. She says there are al-most 300 students in the North Oys-ter catchment area, and 141 do not attend public school. She believes putting in an enriched learning pro-gram such as a fine arts program could draw families back to North Oyster.“A lot of parents want their chil-

dren to be in the public system, but they want enhanced programs,” she said.

Tyson Jones/ChroniCle

Students at École Davis Road Elementary in Ladysmith celebrated Aboriginal Day and the upcoming end of the school year with a First Nations-themed Fun Day Friday, June 21. Teachers and staff organized the day’s activities, while the PAC provided free lunch to all students. Students finished the day by coming together to spell out SOS — Save Our School. School District 68’s Proposed 10-Year Enhanced Facilities for Learning Plan would see École Davis Road closed in June 2014 and the students split up, with K-5 students moving to Ladysmith Intermediate School and Grade 6-7 students going to Ladysmith Secondary School. Parents, community members and the Town of Ladysmith have expressed serious concerns about the proposed plan, including the loss of a neighbourhood school in the south end of Ladysmith; the developmental, social and academic problems with students as young as 10 entering high school, and problems with the proposed “super school,” including its enrollment of 550, which exceeds the school district’s optimal size for an elementary school, its K-5 configuration, the size of the proposed site for the new school, and the lack of secured funding for any new school in Ladysmith. School trustees will vote on the proposed plan on Wednesday, June 26 at a public meeting at Nanaimo District Secondary School at 6 p.m.

Parents unhappy with K-5, 6-12 proposal

Save our school, say École Davis Road students

Lindsay Chungthe chronicle

Emotions ran high as parents in Ladysmith shared their input with school trustees and school district staff as the public consultation around the proposed school chang-es winds down.

School District 68 held a public forum for its Proposed 10-Year En-hanced Facilities for Learning Plan June 17 at Ladysmith Secondary School (LSS), and parents were bro-ken into discussion groups around the proposed changes.

Many parents objected to the pro-posal to close École Davis Road (EDR) in June 2014 and consoli-date with Ladysmith Intermediate School (LIS), which would then be-come a dual-track K-5 elementary school. Under the proposed plan, all Ladysmith elementary schools would move to a new facility to be built on the Ladysmith Secondary site in 2017.

One elementary school in town — which would have a capacity of around 500 students — was not a favourable option for many.

Garth Buffie has twins who are now in Grade 8 at Ladysmith Sec-ondary School and who attended EDR.“The reason we moved [to the

south end of Ladysmith] and bought a house there is École Davis Road,” he said. “We appreciate the school. We want to see that it stays there.”

Buffie raises concerns about Grade 6 students moving to high

school and said he doesn’t want to see south-end children bused across town and having less access to after-school programs.

École Davis Road parents also pointed out that their school is a safer building than Ladysmith Inte-mediate School.

École Davis Road parent Aaron Stone noted that the proposal doesn’t take into account growth that is projected in Ladysmith.“There are three main areas of

development coming on line in Ladysmith — it seems this plan was made in a bubble, unresponsive to other community planning,” he said.

“The K-5 school would essentially be at or over capacity the day it opens if all this development occurs — if you can keep the families coming because one school is not very at-tractive.”

The proposed plan also calls for reconfiguring LSS as a Grade 6-12 school, focusing the Grade 6-8 stu-dents on a middle school philosophy, as of September 2014.

Many parents expressed strong concerns with moving Grade 6 and 7 students to a high school. One thing parents brought up is the fact that they haven’t been given any infor-mation about how this would look.“Other districts have backed away

from the middle school model in schools that even had walls to sepa-rate them,” said Jeremy Kerr. “The very fact that you have to put up walls to to separate our children says these are groups that should not be merged.”


Long standoff in Chemainus ends in arrest, chargesPeter RuslandBlack Press

Chemainus’ Ter-rence Karstad, 48, has been charged with two offences relating to assault after his ar-rest June 17, police say.

Karstad faces charges of assault

causing bodily harm, and assault, North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP Cpl. Jon Stuart said.“He’s been released

with lots of condi-tions, including not possessing weapons, and hav-ing no contact with the victim.”

The un-a r m e d suspect was col-lared by R C M P tactical-s q u a d m e m -bers at about 2:15 a.m. June 17 after a female was allegedly assaulted at the home at around 8:30 p.m. Sunday, June 16.

She was treated at hospital for minor injuries, police have stated.

But police officers attending the assault scene June 16 learned suspect Karstad had access to guns in the home, explains Stu-art’s press release.“Officers made re-peated attempts over several hours to com-municate with the suspect, believing he may still be inside the residence. The of-ficers, along with po-lice dog services, con-

tained the residence.“As there were fire-arms reported to be at the disposal of the male, and there were threats of their use, the Emergency Re-sponse Team (ERT) was contacted and

deployed to the scene.”

Then at a r o u n d 2:15 a.m., swat-squad m e m b e r s found and a r r e s t e d s u s p e c t K a r s t a d in brush close to the home.“He was

taken into custody without incident or any harm to him, of-ficers involved, or the general public,” says Stuart.

Several firearms were located and seized for public safety.

Stuart declined to give details about those guns as “they’re not part of the of-fence alleged.”

The weapons, if properly licensed, will be returned to their owner, barring any firearms prohibi-tion, he said.“The scene had been quickly contained, and there was no public danger in this matter,” notes Stuart.

Matthew 14:27“But imme-

diately Jesus spoke to them and said, ‘Be of good cheer, it is I, don’t be afraid.’”

This story of Jesus walk-ing on the water and calm-ing the storm is probably the most famous of all of Jesus’ miracles. We look at the storm as a symbol of the problems and is-sues of life. They come upon us unexpectedly and make us feel like things are out of control.

But what I find signifi-cant about this storm was

that it wasn’t life-threaten-ing, but they weren’t get-ting anywhere. The Bible says they were straining at rowing. This means they were working hard, putting a lot of effort into it, yet not getting any-where because the wind was against them.

Have you ever felt like that? Working so hard at life yet seeing no re-

sults? It always seems like something is against you, stopping you from pro-gressing.

One day when I was reading this passage of scripture, I noticed some-thing I never saw before. Jesus never spoke to the storm. He never acknowl-edged the waves or the boisterous winds. What He did do was speak to the

Disciples. The storm was not a concern to Jesus; He was already walking on top of it. His concern was His disciples. And His first word to them was to reveal who He was. That’s what gave them peace in the midst of the storm.

Are you in a storm now? Something you can’t seem to overcome? What’s im-portant is not what He has to say about your storm, but what He has to say to you. That’s the secret. He wants you to know Him and to know that He has control over the storm.

At the school district’s public forum on June 17, school board chair Jamie Brennna in-sisted nothing has been determined yet and everything is still up in the air. He says trustees are listening.

We hope so because Ladysmith parents have come up with some good ideas for the district.

The format for the public forum seemed to be an in-teresting one, with smaller discussion groups focused on certain aspects of the proposed plan. But why wasn’t this kind of consultation done before the plan was rolled out?

Parents had a lot of questions and concerns dur-ing the meeting, and many of them stemmed from feeling that they didn’t have enough information. Maybe they would be less worried about some of the changes being discussed if the information came first. What exactly would a “middle school philosophy” for Grade 6-8 students at Ladysmith Secondary School (LSS) look like, for example?

During the public forum, parents came up with their own solutions to some of the issues facing School Dis-trict 68, such as relocating the Cedar Secondary students to LSS to increase enrolment numbers here. Other ideas that came up included creating a swimming academy at the secondary school because it is right beside the pool — something like that could draw in students from all corners of the district and keep parents from leaving the district.

Many parents have put in a lot of time, thought, ef-fort and research into creating proposals for the school board. It’s great to see people coming together to save their schools and stand up for what they believe.

But I can’t help thinking it would have been nice if they could have shared their ideas before a plan was created and been part of that process instead of being invited to react to the plan. —Lindsay Chung

Points to PonderRev. KW Boyd Tremblett

Chemainus Pentecostal Church


There are nine new fac-es in Premier Christy Clark’s cabinet, seven of

them elected to the B.C. legisla-ture for the first time on May 14.

They have been handed some of the hottest problems, and Clark’s marching orders in “mandate letters” for each min-istry. And this is the start of a four-year term, when unpopular reforms are attempted.

Take Amrik Virk, the former RCMP inspector from Surrey who’s suddenly in charge of ad-vanced education.

His mandate includes: “Re-view the student loan program to make recommendations for improvement to ensure the loan program is meeting the needs of today’s students.”

Virk must also set targets to “match the skills we need with the skills we are graduating” and require post-secondary schools to “ensure student seats are being filled.”

B.C. can’t afford to keep cranking out university grads with $50,000 in debt and no

job prospects in a system that’s subsidized 65 per cent.

Virk will be working closely with Education Minister Peter Fassbender, who must “ensure seamless transitions” from high school to the workforce for post-secondary trades and ap-prenticeships.

In his spare time, Fassbender is to overhaul the school dis-trict bargaining agency and achieve a 10-year peace with the teachers’ union.

Justice Minister Suzanne An-ton has worked as a Crown prosecutor, so she’ll have some insight into the system that still grapples with Stanley Cup riot-ers from two summers ago.

Her orders are to get traffic tickets and other administra-tive penalties out of the courts, keep working on integrating police fiefdoms and generally treat the constipation that af-flicts law enforcement today.

Oh, and get that new Okana-gan prison built, to relieve a system that has inmates living in tents. And examine whether to spin off the Liquor Distribu-tion Branch into a Crown cor-poration, a possible prelude to

selling it.Transportation Minister Todd

Stone’s first test was a grilling by the Vancouver media. Yup, this Kamloops hayseed has been to the Big Smoke a few times, ridden that fancy SkyTrain and taken the odd ferry, too.

Now he has to impose the ferry route reductions that have been worked on by two previ-ous ministers, and push Metro Vancouver through a referen-dum on ways to fund its own transit. If more tolls or taxes are going to be implemented, now is the time.

Coralee Oakes has made a po-litical leap from Quesnel city hall to the Ministry of Commu-nity, Sport and Cultural Devel-opment. One of her key tasks is to invent a framework for a “rural dividend” from liquefied natural gas development in northwestern B.C.

Oakes has to figure out how to “better provide provincial sup-port” to sport and cultural orga-nizations, but do it with no new money.

All ministers have strict in-structions to balance their lean budgets and take part in the

latest “core review” to iden-tify government functions that can be sold, delegated or shut down.

New Minister of International Trade Richmond’s Teresa Wat has to find a way to continue the growth of lumber and oth-er exports to China, India and elsewhere on the Pacific Rim.

On top of that, the always-del-icate softwood lumber agree-ment with the U.S. expires in three years. The last major eruption on that front was in 2009, when B.C. cut stumpage rates for remote coastal areas to give communities much-needed employment.

The Americans were livid, just as they were with our beetle-kill harvesting efforts. And of course, the U.S.-directed envi-ronmental movement continues to target Canadian industries.

Third-term MLA John Rus-tad gets aboriginal relations, with specific instructions to deal with gas and perhaps oil pipelines through his Nechako Lakes constituency.

It’s off to a bit of a late start, but the Stu-dents Helping Seniors Program in Ladysmith

is getting underway.The Ladysmith Re-

sources Centre As-sociation (LRCA) has finally received funding confirmation from Canada Sum-mer Jobs, giving them the go-ahead to start the annual Students Helping Seniors Pro-gram, where local high

school students gain valuable entry-level work experience by assisting Ladysmith seniors with odd jobs around the house, ac-cording to a press re-lease from the LRCA.

Danielle Weir is co-ordinating the Stu-dents Helping Seniors program this year.

“She is a graduate of Ladysmith Secondary School and brings a personal understand-ing of the employment challenges facing youth in the Cowichan Valley,” states the re-lease. “She will be go-ing into her third year in the therapeutic recreation program

at Douglas College in Coquitlam, and her ex-perience working with seniors and youth in her course of studies makes her especially qualified for this job.”

For many of the youth who get involved in the program, it is their first work experience, ac-cording to the LRCA.

The program teaches youth basic skills in resumé writing and shows them what to expect in a job inter-view. Students can ac-cept as much or as lit-tle work as they want.

Before starting, stu-dents must attend a mandatory orientation session where they are taught safe work prac-tices, personal safety guidelines when work-ing for strangers, and how to present them-selves on a job. “It gives them a taste

of what area employe expects,” states the LRCA. “They learn how to behave and communicate in a pro-fessional manner, and they get experience they can use to build their resumés.”

Last year, students assisted seniors with many activities. In re-turn, the seniors paid them the minimum wage of $10.25 per hour.

Students who are interested in the pro-gram can find informa-tion on Craigslist and Kijiji, in the career cen-tre at Ladysmith Sec-ondary School or on Facebook by search-ing Students Helping Seniors. Students can also visit the LRCA at 630 Second Ave. or call 250-245-3079.

Settle in and get cozy at the Transfer Beach Amphitheatre to enjoy Island Country with Guy Bezeau, who will kick off the 14th sea-son of Concerts in the Park Sunday, July 7 at 6 p.m.

The Ladysmith Re-sources Centre Asso-ciation (LRCA) puts on this annual fundraising event. All the shows are free, but volunteers will be coming around during the performanc-es to collect donations. All proceeds go back into LRCA programs, which are free for the community.

“I canvass the whole town asking business-es for their support — that’s how we pay the musicians, and that is why all of the dona-tions go straight back

into the community,” says Valerie Duck-worth, Concerts in the Park co-ordinator.

Island Country with Guy Bezeau will be kicking off the seven-

show series.The event runs every

Sunday at 6 p.m., un-til Aug. 28. There is no show on Aug. 4, due to Ladysmith Days.

Every week, there

will be a new musical act performing. There will be some returning acts this year, as well as a few fresh faces. “Cynthia Davis re-

ally sticks out; she was wonderful last year, but it was cold and ugly out,” says Duck-worth of the returning performer. “By the end of her set, not many people where left.”

Davis and Swing That Thing will be playing on July 28.

There is no food at the event, but every-one is encouraged to bring in their own pic-nic dinner to enjoy dur-ing the performances.

All shows are weath-er-dependent.

A team of experi-enced, energetic lead-ers are ready to keep Ladysmith children active and excited this summer as they pres-ent Adventure Zone Summer Daycamps.

Ladysmith Parks, Recreation and Cul-ture is offering eight weeks of action-packed, fun-filled day camp opportunities. Camp takes place at Transfer Beach from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and children can reg-ister per day, per week or for all eight weeks.

Each of the eight weeks has a theme — Canadian Eh? (July 2-5), Animal Adven-tures (July 8-12), Su-perheroes (July 15-19), Athletic All-Stars (July 22-26), Icky Sticky Sci-ence (July 29-Aug. 2), Survivor (Aug. 6-9), Creative Cat (Aug. 12-16), and Wet and Wild Beach Bash (Aug. 19-23).“We plan to have a

summer of being ac-tive, getting outside and having fun,” said leader Danielle Win-ter. “We have different-themed weeks; we’re trying to stretch it out over the eight weeks of day camp so that it appeals to all kids. Each week, we do such a variety; we try every day to do a craft, and we’re always run-ning around.”

Daycamp partici-pants will get a chance to explore different areas of town, as they go on outings related to that week’s theme, visiting places such as Black Press and the re-cycling depot.“We try to use our local

attractions as much as possible,” said Winter, adding they are open to people coming in to do demonstrations and performances about their programs.

“If there is anyone who has a special interest in town, we’d be total-ly open to having them come to the camp.”

Adventure Zone Sum-mer Daycamp is flex-ible, as some children come for all eight weeks, and some come for just one week or even just one day.“We’re hoping to have

tons of kids,” said Winter. “I think defi-nitely, the more kids that come to camp, the more dynamic it can be, and the more fun the games will be.”

This year’s leader-ship team includes Winter, senior leader Brianne Irving and ju-nior leaders Cameron Manns, Bailey McLeod and Alexa Spanevello.All five have a lot

of work experience working with children through their volun-teer work and their jobs.“We’re all interested

in dealing with people and being in a car-ing environment with children,” noted Irving, who just finished her degree in teaching.

McLeod is excited to help children stay fit and be active this sum-mer.“We make pretty good

use of all the facilities too,” he noted.

Summer daycamp costs $39 per day, space permitting, or $129 for five days ($119 for additional children from the same family). In weeks one and six, it is $99 for four days or $89 for additional children from the same family.

For more informa-tion about the Adven-ture Zone Summer Daycamp, visit www.ladysmith.ca or call 250-245-6424.

Children are asked to bring a healthy peanut-free lunch, water bot-tle, bathing suit and towel and wear active clothing.

Adventure awaits

The Chemainus Garden Club (CGC) hosted a “Fas-cinating” Garden Tour Sunday, June 23, offering a chance to visit nine gardens in Chemainus, Saltair and Ladysmith. In top photo, CGC president Nairne Culver of Ladysmith (left) and her sister-in-law Irene Culver of Chemainus, who is vice-president of the CGC, welcome visitors to Mike and Pat An-tonik’s garden on Caswell Street in Chemainus. A year ago, the garden was all grass and moss. The Antoniks decided to create an “old-world” stone patio with a raised garden surround, and they’ve planted roses, fruit trees, lettuce, strawberries and even olives. Above, this birdhouse is one of the many funky things visitors discovered in Claude and Bertha Marcoux’s garden on Sequoia Way in Chemainus. The eight-year-old, 4,000-square-foot garden has incorporated Feng Shui, and the own-ers have included all five elements of Feng Shui — earth, wood, metal, water and fire — in their yard.

The focus is on family fun during Chemainus’ Canada Day celebra-tions at Waterwheel Park.

Monday, July 1 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., a wide variety of free activities are being of-fered at the park.

Some of the fun activities planned in-clude pony rides, a barnyard petting zoo, a scavenger hunt, face painting, crafts, color-ing and games.As a new feature

this year, there will be bouncy castles. Other new additions

include the band Ma-laika Marimba, Bobby Cole the roving wizard magician, and free ice cream, popcorn and cotton candy. There

will also be free Cana-da Day cake.

The band Oh! Ogo-pogo is back this year and is bringing Doug the Dinosaur to the Waterwheel Park bandshell.“It’s totally a fam-

ily day, and it’s to bring people into the downtown,” said Dee Kinnee with the Chemainus BIA. “It’s always fun to have events downtown in Chemainus. That’s the magic of Chemainus

— we have activities right downtown, and it’s always great to see

the families. It’s very kid-oriented.”

Kinnee feels it’s also great to have activi-ties on Canada Day in Chemainus.“There were activities,

but the goal was to ex-pand it so people could enjoy Canada Day in their own downtown,” she said.

Canada Day activi-ties are being present-ed by the Chemainus BIA, the Chemainus Valley Museum and the Chemainus Val-ley Cultural Arts Soci-ety. Many community groups and businesses have sponsored the celebration, including main sponsors Coast-al Community Credit Union, and Canadian Heritage.“One thing is to have a

collaboration between the organizations,” said Kinnee, noting many other groups help contribute to the event. “There’s a lot of contribution, which is so nice.

Opportunity knocks for The Lion The Bear The Fox


What is Ryan Mc-Mahon most excited about when it comes to his new musical project, The Lion The Bear The Fox?

The Ladysmith sing-er-songwriter says it’s the fact that he feels they haven’t even scratched the surface of their potential.“We’re not a typical band that rehearses a ton, due to the fact that I’m on Vancou-ver Island and the other fellas are in the city,” he says of his new soulful folk/rock band with Vancouver-based Woodward and Christopher Arruda. “I think if we’re afforded more time together and really collaborate further, great things can happen to this project.”

Great things are al-ready starting to hap-pen for the three song-writers with the big voices.

Earlier this month, The Lion The Bear The Fox was named a Top 20 finalist in the Peak Performance Project. Four hundred artists from across B.C. ap-plied for the program, which includes show-cases, a music busi-ness boot camp and a chance to win up to $102,700.

McMahon says the first thought that went through his head when the band’s name was called was that things just got serious.“But mostly, it was the return of the same butterflies I used to get when I first started

at this racket,” he said. “It’s an exciting oppor-tunity for all of the musicians involved, and it’s also a great chance to get our mu-sic in front of people who wouldn’t other-wise hear it. That’s a really cool thing.”

McMahon expects to learn a lot of new information that he’ll be able to apply to his solo career and to all things related to The Lion The Bear The Fox, and he is looking forward to meeting new artists.“The Peak really is the cherry on top of what has been a re-warding year so far, and I’m just looking forward to any time the three of us get to spend together — it’s guaranteed good mu-sic and guaranteed

good laughs along the way,” he says.

Amid all the Peak Performance Project excitement, the band is currently recording its debut EP and is planning a fall west-ern Canadian tour.

Collectively, McMa-hon, Woodward and Arruda have three de-cades worth of expe-rience as solo artists, releasing their own independent albums and touring the coun-try countless times.

The Lion The Bear The Fox came to-gether as a unit after McMahon, Woodward and Arruda did a month-long western Canadian tour togeth-er as three solo artists in May 2012.“More than anything, this project came together in such an

organic way and re-ally demanded that we continue,” says Arruda. “I know I cer-tainly had no interest in starting a band pre-vious to going on the road with these two, but the events of the tour were something that couldn’t be ig-nored. At the tail end of the tour, we were offered an impromptu show at The Park The-atre in Winnipeg and there wasn’t enough time to each do a set, so we just decided to share the stage to-gether. It was such a perfect moment that as soon as it was complete, I decided I would be open to any chance to do it again.”

All three artists are known for the passion they bring to their performances and for

the honest songs they write.“When we perform, people experience

three powerful, hon-est and soulful voices that will take them on a roller coaster ride of

dynamically pleasing songs,” says Wood-ward. “Each one’s a journey, and we wel-come everyone with open arms to dance wild, scream and sing into the night and ex-perience one of the greatest self-made gifts we can give our-selves – pure uninhib-ited joy!”

Before spending the summer immersed in the Peak Perfor-mance Project, The Lion The Bear The Fox will play three Vancouver Island shows, including Sun-day, June 30 at 8 p.m. at Char’s Landing in Port Alberni and two shows Monday, July 1

— 3 p.m. at the Trans-fer Beach Amphithe-atre, and 7 p.m. at the Dinghy Dock Pub in Nanaimo.

Chemainus swimmer earns firsts at nationals

Eulah Varty of Chemainus and Colleen Nelson participated in the Canadian national swimming championships in Ottawa during the May long weekend.

The 29th Chemainus Le-gion Twilight Shuffle 5K is barely over, but race co-ordinator Phil Nicholls is al-ready hard at work planning the milestone 30th event.

One hundred and forty-one runners and walkers took part in this year’s event, held June 18 in downtown Chemainus under what started out as very rainy skies. That’s down from the 325 who took part last year.

Nicholls, a Chemainus native, started the Twilight Shuffle 29 years ago with his mother Lorna.

The event has seen num-bers as big as almost 1,000 people, but participation has been dwindling, and Nicholls would love to see those numbers rise again.

The Twilight Shuffle start-ed as a four-mile race.“We evolved it to a five-ki-

lometre distance, and now the plan will be to keep her going and have a big one for the 30th,” said Nicholls. “I would have liked to, as al-ways, see more numbers in it [this year]. I have to do the work up in the area. My idea is to get some school challenge going, just to get it fun and big.”

Nicholls says the race started as a Sunday morn-ing event and then became a Tuesday night run, and there could have been some confusion about the date. He thinks there may have also been confusion be-cause when you search for the Twilight Shuffle on the Internet, past years come up with past dates, and a

Twilight Shuffle in the U.S. comes up, so a dedicated website might help.

In the past, Nicholls says he did “go out on a limb” and add celebrity touches, with live entertainment by musicians like Gord Bam-ford, George Canyon and Michelle Wright, and those brought large crowds, par-ticularly for Wright’s perfor-mance in 2003.

Nicholls says the biggest year was probably 2005 or 2006 when two cast mem-bers from Trailer Park Boys entertained the crowd.“Being as I’ve always co-or-

dinated it, I’ve always kind of worn the blame for it not being as big as it should’ve been,” said Nicholls. “And I do have the bar high — we’ve had it as high as 1,000, so that’s the bar.”

Despite the lower turnout and the downpour at the start of the race, Nicholls is happy with this year’s event.“Overall, I’m very pleased

with it again and all the sup-port that comes from the Le-gion,” he said. “It all comes off very well, for sure.”

Nicholls is already looking ahead to next year’s 30th anniversary Legion Twilight Shuffle and has been busy planning how to make it bigger and better. The date has already been set for Tuesday, June 24, 2014, and Nicholls says he might try to find a way to tie in a running club from Victoria to draw runners up to Chemainus.

This year, the top overall male racer was 47-year-old Neil Holm, who finished the run in 17:16. Nancy Baxen-dale, 52, who crossed the finish line in 19:23.

• A local couple liv-ing near the Public Works yard on Sixth Avenue thought bird-ers around here might be interested to know they’ve seen a Eur-asian dove around their home. They say it sounds like an owl but looks like a pigeon, and they’ve never seen this kind of bird around here.

• Students at St. Jo-seph’s School in Chemainus have been working with artist Ewa Sniatycka to cre-ate a clay mural that will be installed on the school grounds. Every class in the school has helped create all of the piec-es for the mural.

The Cowichan Neigh-bourhood House will host a Resilient Youth Workshop for youth aged 12 to 18 this Thursday (June 27) from 1-4 p.m. at 9796 Willow St. in Chemainus. This workshop focuses on increasing self-esteem and building confidence in a com-

munity setting. Each Youth is challenged to look at his or her world and say “it doesn’t have to be this way” and then go do something about it. To register, call 250-246-3203 or e-mail [email protected].

• Ladysmith’s Mur-ray Atkinson will be taking part in a free outdoor fundrais-ing concert Saturday, July 6 in Nanaimo.

getting their hands on a number of cool high-tech projects, courte-sy Vancouver Island’s Byte Camp program. Students tried differ-

ent projects including claymation and music and video produc-tion, 2D and 3D video games as well as 3D animation.
