Ladysmith plays starring role: P. 3P. 11

Strike leaves Ladysmith class in limboDan EbenalTHE CHRONICLE

The B.C. teachers strike will continue to have an impact on one group of Ladysmith Primary students even after the dust has settled on the dispute.

Picket lines have disrupted School District 68 plans to erect a portable classroom at Ladysmith Primary School.Weve had pickets at our district

office since July 28 and as well at a number of schools for most of the summer, so a lot of the things we would normally do to get ready for school havent happened yet, said school district spokesperson Donna Reimer.

She said one classroom portable wont be ready when school does reopen and the students will have to be housed elsewhere in the school until the portable can ac-commodate a class.Hopefully when schools do open

again and we have our support staff back, we can do that work as quickly as possible, said Reimer, adding other schools have used the schools multi-purpose room until the classroom is ready.

She said a number of the dis-tricts projects werent able to be completed over the summer as picket lines prevented mainte-nance staff from accessing the dis-trict administration centre.We created a priority list of

projects and the priority order of them. And definitely I would say Ladysmith is one of our very top ones because our top priority is making sure theres classrooms for kids when they come back, said Reimer.

Reimer didnt want to give a timeline for how long it will take

to complete the project because the district is unsure when work-ers will be available or if another emergency situation might devel-op at another school.But it is really one of our highest

priorities, she said. It would only be an emergency situation that would divert us from that project.

Ladysmith Primary wont be the only area school to see some ma-jor changes in the new school year. The School district is anticipating a significant jump in enrolment at Ladysmith Secondary, with 840 students expected when classes resume, up from about 580 last year.Davis Road was closed in

June so the Grade 7 English stu-dents from Davis Road and from Ladysmith Intermediate will be

going to Ladysmith Secondary this year, said Reimer. As well, Cedar Secondary was closed at the end of June and approximately 200 of those students have opted to go to Ladysmith Secondary so there will be a significant increase.

Reimer doesnt expect the strike will impact plans to accommo-date the additional students at the school.Space wont be a problem, she said. The work to house the Grade 7s at the school, while it hasnt been totally completed, it has been completed enough that the Grade 7s can use the space. Theres not a lot of work left to do.

Meanwhile, Education Minister Peter Fassbender says the prov-ince may take extraordinary steps to ensure senior secondary stu-

dents school year is not cut short by the teachers strike.

That could mean adding days to the school calendar later in the year, he said, to ensure Grade 12 students in particular complete their courses and get all the marks they need.Do you put it on the end of the

year? Do you take it out of Spring Break? Do you take it out of Christmas holidays? My staff are looking at all of the options, Fass-bender said.Its going to depend on how long

this drags out. Whatever length of time it takes to get this settled, we will do everything we can to make sure the school year is kept whole for those students.

Its unclear how the government would finance adding extra days

of classes later when all of the $12 million per day in strike savings may be consumed by the prov-inces offer of $40-a-day payments to parents.

But the possibility of an extended school year is not happening, ac-cording to Mike Ball, president of the Nanaimo and District Teachers Association.Thats something that would have

to be negotiated, said Ball. Do they want me to work for free? I dont see it happening to be honest.

He said ministry guidelines show you can lose about six weeks of the school year and still deliver the full curriculum.You can lose a certain amount ev-

ery year without affecting curricu-lum that you deliver, you just dont get all the frills and extras youd like to have, said Ball.

Reimer said extending the school year is not something the district has looked at and a lot would de-pend on how long the strike lasts, and expects the ministry would have to make provisions for school districts.If theres additional costs in-

volved, we obviously wouldnt have the budget for it so we would expect that they would also some-how support us in the costs, she said.

For his part, Ball doesnt think the dispute will last long enough to make a longer school year neces-sary.I dont see us being out for six

weeks. The government has to come to its senses at some point, he said. Weve said were still pre-pared to make some moves but it has to come from both sides. Right now every move thats been made has been made by the BCTF. with files from Jeff Nagel

Ladysmith plays starring role in new seriesDan EbenalTHE CHRONICLE

Following a career in law enforcement, a former Ladysmith resident is now turn-ing his focus to the rich history of sports among First Nations people.

Steve Sxwithultxw, a member of the Penelakut First Nations, is the host and producer of a new show airing on the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network called Warrior Games.Its a 13-part youth documentary series that focuses on indigenous sports across Canada and the United States, said Sxwithultxw, who was an RCMP mem-ber in the Ladysmith area between 1995 and 2000. The gist of the show is high-lighting traditional and contemporary sports and even some sports that have been long forgotten and are coming back across the country.

The show premiered last Saturday on APTN and Ladysmith will play a starring role in the next episode set to air on Sept. 13.In Ladysmith, were highlighting the

war canoe races, which if you live around the Island its a staple, it hap-pens every summer. But across Canada people dont know about it, so what were doing is bringing it to the forefront nationally, talking about this amazing sport, said Sxwithultxw. War canoes were used for exactly that back in the day, for war. Now its been turned into a sport and theres rivalry between nations and communities and families.

He said the show allowed him to work

with the Seymour family and Rainbow Canoe Club, spending two full days tak-ing part in canoe races in Kulleet Bay.

The show is set to air Saturday at 3:30 p.m. but Sxwithultxw advises viewers to check their local listings.

Warrior Games debut with a show high-lighting a sport played by the Choctaw

Nation called stickball.We went down to Mississippi to film it at the World Series of Stickball and its a brutal game, said Sxwithultxw, adding the game is similar to lacrosse but has 30 players on each side and barely any rules.

Some of the other episodes will look

at sports familiar to many Canadians like lacrosse as well as a game called long ball that was recently rediscovered by a First Nations elder in the Six Na-tions area of Ontario. There will also be contemporary sports like First Nations snowboarding, along with a look at the Arctic Winter Games and the games as-sociated with the Metis people.

Raised in the Cowichan Valley and now living in Victoria, Sxwithultxw went back to BCIT to study journalism after hanging up his red serge and stetson. He worked for CTV News for a couple of years as a reporter and producer before starting his own company, Kwassen Pro-ductions Inc. And it was there that the idea for Warrior Games was hatched.We were shooting on another show and

were talking to a gentleman down in Ari-zona and he started talking about indig-enous sports and one of my former col-leagues we kind of looked at each other and said Wow, indigenous sports, thats kind of cool, recalled Sxwithultxw.

He pitched the idea to executives with APTN and the Banff TV World Festival and they were very receptive. While the first demo for the show was rejected, Sxwithultxw was able to fine tune it and have the 13-part series picked up by APTN. But Sxwithultxw isnt done yet. Hes now working on developing a reality series for APTN that follows his career as a police officer and focuses on what tribal police officers encounter on a daily basis.

The Nanaimo Ladysmith School Board is calling on the provincial government to drop the conten-tious Article E80 that aims to over-ride previous court decisions on class size and composition.The board strongly urges govern-

ment to demonstrate the readiness to be flexible and fair by elimi-nating or amending the content of Article E80, to demonstrate a more flexible and less punitive approach, states board chair Dot Neary in a Sept. 5 letter to Premier Christy Clark.

Neary goes on to say that by abandoning E80 the government

could remove a major impedi-ment to the advancement of bar-gaining and the achievement of a settlement.

Nanaimo and District Teachers Association president Mike Ball agrees that Article E80 is the pri-mary stumbling block in reaching an agreement.The fact that E80 is still on the ta-

ble, which is the one that would ne-gate the court case, its something that would be impossible for us to have in any collective agreement. No negotiated settlement at the table could include E80, said Ball.

The letter, called for by the board at its Sept. 3 meeting, also identi-fies a negotiated agreement or me-diated settlement as appropriate

solutions to the dispute.However, the lack of progress to-

wards a settlement and the result-ing strike action have created utter turmoil in the system, adversely affecting the lives of hundreds of thousands of students and their families, with no relief in sight, states Neary in the letter. This stalemate, recently confirmed by Mr. Vince Ready, and the deplor-able effect it has on the public edu-cation system, has convinced the board to speak out.

The province has rejected the B.C. Teachers Federation call for binding arbitration.Ive never been a fan of binding

arbitration,said Education Minis-ter Peter Fassbender, adding hand-

ing over control to a third party risks an outcome that compromis-es B.C.s balanced budget and un-acceptably damages the provinces finances.

He remained firm that the prov-ince wants a negotiated settlement in line with the pay raises accepted by other government unions.This government will not raise

taxes in order to provide a settle-ment to one union that does not re-flect what the other public sector has done, Fassbender said.The one and only option that I

believe strongly makes sense is for both parties to be at the table, for the B.C. Teachers Federation to become realistic in their wage and benefit proposal, and then for us to

negotiate, mediate the other items that are still at the table.

Ball suspects the government is hoping the lack of paycheques coming in will put a dent in teach-ers resolve but said Nanaimo and district teachers remain commit-ted to the cause.Our members are feeling the

pinch. Everybodys feeling the pinch because they havent been paid over the summer and they still have mortgage payments and rent, food and all the rest to pay, said Ball. But at some point your re-solve has to overcome that and say this deal is just not one I can sign. Because if I sign that Im actually giving up 12 years of court cases. with files from Jeff Nagel

District buys former schoolDan Ebenalthe chronicle

A land acquisition by the Cowichan Valley Regional Dis-trict has helped restore the community hub for residents of Saltair.

The regional district has pur-chased the 2.2-hectare former Mt. Brenton Elementary School property for $300,000.The acquisition of this key

property, complete with a school building that now oper-ates with a licensed day care, will provide capacity for the Saltair communitys use of pub-lic space for activities, events and gatherings in the heart of the community, said Mel Dorey, electoral area director for Sal-tair/Gulf Islands.This land purchase will have

lasting benefits to Saltair, pro-viding sufficient public lands that can be planned and used over the short and long term as the communitys interests and needs evolve.

The former school is situated adjacent to Saltair Centennial Park and the properties have historically been used as a pub-lic gathering space and for out-door recreation.

CVRD parks manager Brian Farquhar said the parks com-mission has had an interest in the property since it was sold to

private interests in 2004, jump-ing at the chance to purchase the land at well below appraised value.There is great value in the

property over the long term to provide the community a vari-ety of opportunities to look at within the heart of Saltair. Its a land space that will be available to residents to program for a whole variety of things further-ing outdoor recreation and facil-ities that theyve got in what is now a larger Saltair Centennial Park, he said.

While there are no immediate plans for the property, Farquhar said there will be extensive pub-lic consultation to gain insight on the communitys wishes for the property.Maybe the community doesnt

have any immediate wishes oth-er than keep the school building

open as long as its functionally usable at little or no cost to the community, he said. But over the long term it gives the Sal-tair community the capacity to make those sorts of decisions over what they want to do in the future.

The regional district will con-tinue with the lease to a licensed day care for the foreseeable future while looking at other short-term uses for the facility.It could be used for everything

from community gatherings to a space for local clubs to hold meetings, said Farquhar, add-ing the closest recreation fa-cilities operated by the regional district are in Ladysmith and Chemainus.In Saltair that has always been

the go-to place, just the conve-nience and having a place that they can call their own.

The Cowichan Valley Regional District has purchased the property of the former Mt. Brenton Elementary School which now houses a li-censed day care. Dan EbEnal

A new event planned for Ladysmith this Saturday promises something for everyone: from a day filled with fun and games for the whole family to support for an organization that provides assistance to a large seg-ment of the community.

The first annual Berry Mania Festi-val goes Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. at Transfer Beach. Admission is by donation.

Some of the events planned in-clude an Amazing Race scavenger hunt, bike rodeo hosted by the Ladysmith RCMP, a variety of en-tertainment, fun and games for the kids as well as a raffle with a host of great prizes.

Volunteer Carol Sparham said the festival was organized as a way to raise funds for the Ladysmith Re-source Centre Association, which provides valuable community ser-vices for Ladysmith and the sur-rounding area.With government cutbacks, theyre looking at doing more of their own fundraising to keep things going and improve on programs, said Sparham, adding the group pro-vides support to all segments of the community from infants to seniors.The money raised could end up helping you or your neighbor, she said.

The Amazing Race will see teams travel around Ladysmith, following

clues and gathering information in an attempt to get back to the final location in the least amount of time. The event will start at 10 a.m. at the LRCA offices on 2nd Avenue and finish at the Berry Mania festival site. There will be prizes for fastest time and most outrageous costume. The entry is a minimum $25 dona-tion for family/friend teams or $50 for business teams. Teams need to sign up by 9 a.m.

Save-On Foods will be sponsoring a berry pie eating contest between noon and 2 p.m. Everyone is wel-come to participate.

The bike rodeo is for children 12 and under and will take place from 2-5 pm. in the paved parking lot near the Transfer Beach play-ground. The rodeo will be run by RCMP members and volunteers and teach youngsters the rules of the road and safety tips as well as provide an opportunity to test their riding skills and take on an obstacle course. There will also be helmet inspections and bike identification. Participants are advised to pre-reg-ister by calling the LRCA at 250-245-3079.

Raffle tickets will be sold for $5 each or five for $20. First prize is two tickets to anywhere WestJet flies, with other prizes of a $1,000 gift certificate from Save on Foods and a piece of pottery by Mary Fox valued at $850.

I think most people would agree the current situation between government and the B.C. Teachers Federa-tion has reached a severe im-passe. My many years as an educator, administrator, su-pervisor of student teachers (UVic), school trustee and now a director of Nanaimo Ladysmith School Founda-tion have provided me with a unique perspective.

To prevent future job action we must completely over-haul the delivery model and practices. All players have an important role to play, and all must want to improve our system.

Here are my suggestions for governance, ministry and school boards:

Take back education policy from the BCTF; listen to the union when they bring forth realistic concerns re fund-ing and positive initiatives. Look at ways of reducing downloaded costs to dis-tricts, especially after bud-gets have been determined. Develop in-district statistics on use and misuse of ben-efits. Streamline adminis-tration, commit to regular teacher evaluations, ensure and develop Pro D activities with the local that pertain to hot-button issues (class size/

composition). Take a strong position in

terms of changing the de-livery model. Should not all schools have a special-needs component? That is, each school needs to design instructional strategies for their catchment area. Inclu-sion is a wonderful and ide-alistic concept but it puts too much stress on the expan-sion of the scope of learning abilities within each class.

Consider the year round school model. This would provide a better use of fa-cilities, reduce teacher/staff absenteeism, and most importantly reduce loss of retention caused by a seven-week summer break. Do a study on utilization of school libraries now that technology is prevalent and research can be done using technology. Lets catch up to the kids.

Demand that teacher-train-ing institutions dedicate sig-nificant time and research to special-needs training.

Implementation of new programs in technology, trades and construction must be fully funded for at least a five-year period, and then those programs should be reviewed.

Publish the payroll costs for all employee groups in each school district. Public expenditures need to be ex-posed and understood.

For parents:Public schools are not a

babysitting service, where teachers are often dealing with issues that should be handled at home. Prepare your child for elementary by having him/her recognize let-ters and numbers. Teach and model sharing, social skills, manners and how to behave in a large social setting.

Feed your children at home, that is a basic paren-tal responsibility. Breakfast programs are for those most needy, not for all because nu-tritional meals are provided. Keep children active at home with physical and mental ac-tivities.

Monitor their progress and communicate regularly with teachers. Support your local parent advisory council.

For teachers/educators:Your 190-day contract is

fairly compensated and has generous benefit packages. Asking more than what other public-sector unions get is unrealistic.

Make an effort to look at how others in your commu-nity are compensated and the demands they face.

Take back your union by knowing what your union dues support. Have your strike funds been denuded by blind followership?

Many teachers are in the profession because of a

positive set of experiences in their past. Good teaching is by teachers who really care about kids. A good school of-fers a variety of activities be-yond the curriculum: physi-cal activity, music drama and clubs. Be a professional; present yourself as a profes-sional in dress and demean-or.

Be prepared to work out-side the clock/contract hours. Precious teacher stu-dent contact time happens outside the classroom. Prep-aration, marking and parent nights are a reality. They are an important part of your job.

Support ways of change that will allow new models of delivery that address prob-lem areas in your school and school district

Demand local union sup-port to dedicate most Pro D days to developing strategies to address special needs/class composition issues.

Lastly, most of you do a fantastic job and I commend you for doing so.

If we continue to do things the ways we have already done them, public education in B.C. will continue to be dysfunctional. Do we really want that to continue?

Ladysmith basks in glow of asuccessful Arts on the Avenue

Editor:It has been over a week since Arts on the Avenue

and the AOA committee is still glowing in the after-math of a successful event.

What made it so successful? Yes the organization team deserves some credit, but others do too. The artists who said well be back next year, the art council demos, the food artisans and the community organizations who took part, as well as the 6,000 peo-ple who strolled under the big white tents all deserve recognition.

But theres more! Success happens when a town embraces an event. All the businesses who help fi-nancially sponsor this event with large and small do-nations, they all count. The people who were incon-venienced by the street closure and were gracious enough to understand, the fire department and their guidance for a better and safer street plan and the police and Citizens on Patrol who kept an eye on the setup.

The Town of Ladysmiths workers who provide street barricades and extra garbage cans and the businesses who donated 10 x 10 tents all 19 of them, they contribute to the success. The United Church who provides tables and chairs each year, the hospital who lend us table clothes and most im-portantly the volunteers who show up on the day, roll up their sleeves and get to work.

To all of those people I want to say thank you. Thank you for doing what you do and for helping Ladysmith be the amazing town it is and for the remarkable peo-ple who share their time each and every year.

Thanks you and see you August 2015 for Arts on the Ave.

Summer seesspike in Islandhome salesDan EbenalTHE CHRONICLE

Vancouver Island housing sales cooled somewhat last month following what proved to be a sizzling July.Weve actually had a surprisingly good summer,

said Jayson Finlayson, president-elect of the Van-couver Island Real Estate Board. We came out of a slow-

er fall/winter market, and summer typically is a slow time for us. How-ever, that being said we had a strong July, much stronger than the previ-ous year. Weve had a lit-tle bit of a slowdown in August, but thats coming off a pretty strong July.

MLS sales in the VIREB coverage area was down eight per cent in August from the same month in 2013, with 361 single-family homes sold last month compared to 454 in July.

There were 64 sales of single-family units in the Cowichan Valley in August, down from 92 in July. The average sale price for Cowichan Valley homes was $336,878, a three per cent increase from August 2013.

Finlayson attributes the strong sales to improved consumer confidence and said the conditions cur-rently reflect a balanced market.The economy is bouncing back somewhat. Its

been a long slog to get here but we are seeing some gains in the economy, which is nice, he said. If that continues, we may see an increase in interest rates as well. If they start to rise were going to see that initial impact as more sales I would imagine.

Vancouver Islands benchmark price for a single-family home was $315,500 in August, an increase of 0.6 per cent over last year. The benchmark price for a single-family home in the Campbell River area was $266,800, up 2.5 per cent over this time last year; in the Comox Valley, the benchmark price was $325,400, marking an increase of one per cent over last year; Duncan reports a benchmark price of $277,300, down 3.7 per cent compared to last year; Nanaimos benchmark price was $331,400, up 0.6 per cent from last year; Parksville/Qualicum has a benchmark price of $359,900, up three per cent over last year; and the price for a benchmark home in Port Alberni is listed at $195,100, down 0.6 per cent from last year.

Finlayson said the Islands various regions each have their unique characteristics and conditions can vary from one end of the Island to the other.Our lower end of the market, say from $200,000 to

$300,000 for single family, seems to be the hotspot in the market for us [in the Cowichan Valley], he said. For Victoria and Nanaimo, not so much. They say its more the middle range of their market and some of the upper range stuff as well.

July.Jayson Finlayson

Lindsay ChungTHE CHRONICLE

The first play to kick off the Ladysmith Little Theatres 2014-15 season is a murder mystery comedy full of twists and turns, dead bodies and drinks.Flemming, An Amer-

ican Thriller is about Henry Flemming, who arrives home one day and tells his wife, Karen, that he has sold his lu-crative brokerage firm to become a detective. On his very first case, to the horror of his wife and friends, their living room begins to fill up with dead bodies. Ev-ery day, Henry shows up more disheveled and beaten up, but he couldnt be happier.

The play, which spoofs film noir thrill-ers from the 1940s and 1950s, features many familiar faces, such as Bill Johnston as Flem-

ming and Shellie Trim-ble as his wife Karen. Stephen Hall Lewis, Lesley Lee, Scott Bas-tian, Greg Heide and newcomer Erin Elder-field round out the cast under the direction of Charles L. Harman.

Flemming, An Amer-ican Thriller, was writ-ten in 1978 by Sam Bobrick, who wrote Murder at the How-

ard Johnsons, which Ladysmith Little The-atre (LLT) presented in 2013.

This is the first play Harman is directing for LLT, and when he put his name forward to the theatres artistic committee offering his services as a director, he was excited when he was asked to direct Flemming, An Ameri-can Thriller.Id done other mur-

der mysteries before; its fun, he said. Ive always liked the genre. I find them very intrigu-ing, whether they are comedy or not. Its the whodunit, trying to fig-ure it out. Its the mis-direction involved, and Ive tried to do a bit of misdirection in this one as well, as allowed in the script.

The actors auditioned for the play in June and worked on their lines throughout the summer, and theyve

been rehearsing at the theatre since the third week of August.

Harman, who most recently acted in the theatres production of Man of La Mancha, has been involved in theatre for 50-some years as an actor and director.

His first leading role was Prince Chulalong-korn in the musical The King and I when he was in Grade 8.I laugh jokingly that it went downhill from there because I couldnt stay away from it, he said with a smile. Theatre feels like home.

Flemming, An Amer-ican Thriller will be the sixth LLT produc-tion Harman has been involved in since mov-ing to south Nanaimo last June.Its been quite a joy

here, he said. There are wonderful people, and theres a lot of real

theatre stuff. Theres such a great group of people who work in this for the love of the-atre. Its a neat place to work.

Harman, a retired teacher, says being a di-rector is quite different for him because he is usually on stage, but he enjoys sitting back and creating a show.Its like youre paint-

ing a picture, he said. Youre the captain of a ship, and then sit-ting back and seeing it come together. Its also giving the actors the freedom to do what they do best allow-ing them to grow and be the character.

Harman says its nice to have young people like Elderfield, who re-cently graduated high school in Nanaimo, in-volved in the theatre and to see them grow over the course of a production.Its like teaching in school youre watch-ing them grow within the confines of the show, he said. Its great. Im a conductor too, and I can equate [directing] to moulding a piece of music and in-terpreting it to the way you want it to sound. Its that creative thing.

Flemming, An Amer-ican Thriller opens Sept. 25 and runs to Oct. 12. For more infor-mation and tickets, call 250-924-0658 or visit www.ladysmiththe-atre.com.

The Yellow Point Singers will start the fall season on a tenta-tive note.

The singers will take the stage at a new venue, the North Ce-dar Intermediate School, 2215 Gould Rd. in Cedar, at 7 p.m. Wednesday. However, this ven-ue will not be available until

the labour dispute is resolved between the B.C. government and the provinces teachers.

New and former members are welcome, especially ten-ors and basses. This non-au-ditioning community choir is directed by Doug Roszmann and sings a varied repertoire

preparing for its Christmas concert.

The choir will also participate in Nanaimo Sings events this fall. Fee for the fall session is $50 to cover costs. More information is available from co-manager Bruce Forward at 250-716-0505.

Singers season hinges on end to dispute

It will be a little while longer before Vancouver island residents can dig deeper into the history of the old South Wellington coal mining sites.

Organizers were forced to cancel the

Sept. 14 Black Track Tour of the his-toric site. The South Wellington was a major coal producer in the region, with several mines in operation explor-ing the riches of the Douglas coal seam.

Water study prompts meetingOn the heels of a study by

a Vancouver Island real es-tate developer, the Town of Ladysmith is unveiling the results of its own watershed modeling study.

Ladysmith council will pro-vide a presentation on the study results at 7 p.m. Mon-day, Sept. 15 at Aggie Hall. The town commissioned the re-port to verify the ability of the Stocking, Holland and Banon watersheds to provide a reli-able source of domestic water to the town for the medium and long-term future.

Ladysmith residents recently shared their thoughts and ideas about the growth of Ladysmith and a proposed expansion to the towns boundaries through an independent public opinion survey conducted recently on behalf of Couverdon Real Es-tate.

Couverdon, the real estate arm of TimberWest Forest Cor-poration, conducted the sur-vey to determine awareness of a proposal to extend the Town of Ladysmiths northwest boundaries, which would add approximately 273 hectares (675 acres) of TimberWest for-

estlands to the town.I was pleased to see that the majority of Ladysmith resi-dents have heard of the pro-posal, Frank Limshue, Cou-verdons director of planning and zoning, said in a press re-lease. But, I think we need to be more proactive about shar-ing information and answering peoples questions across the board, people wanted more information.

The Justason Market Intel-ligence (JMI) survey was used to identify key values in Ladysmith, as well as gauge awareness and support for Couverdons proposal to ex-tend the towns northwestern boundaries as part of a long-term community development project. The findings show the majority (84 per cent) of Ladysmith residents are aware of Couverdons boundary ex-tension proposal. Support and opposition to the proposal was about equal, as four out of 10 residents both support (38 per cent) and oppose (42 per cent) the proposal. Two in 10 residents (20 per cent) have yet to form an opinion on the proposal.

Over half of the Ladysmith residents polled (53 per cent) indicated that protecting wa-tershed lands should be a top concern in the next 20-30 years for the town. As part of the proposal to expand the towns boundaries, Couver-don would consider transfer-ring 202 hectares (500 acres) of TimberWest forestland around Stocking and Holland lakes to the town.These survey results high-light the need for any future development in Ladysmith to recognize residents concern for water supply and take a long-term view of develop-ment, says Limshue. Our boundary extension proposal for phased development is part of a 30-year vision for these lands we want to take the time necessary to under-stand and meet community expectations.

The JMI survey sampled 300 adult residents aged 18 or old-er by telephone between June 5 and June 20. The margin of error for a sample of this size is plus or minus 5.7 percent-age points, 19 times out of 20, according to Couverdon.

Dan EbenalTHE CHRONICLE

Ladysmith got a first-hand look at the chang-ing face of Canadian soccer at a recent series of training sessions.

Four members of Canadas Olympic wom-ens soccer team hit the pitch in Ladysmith Thursday and Friday to work on skills and inspire players with the Mid-Isle Soccer Club.We wanted to come

out to the Island and just chat with the kids and bring our medal and show them that if they dream big anything is possible. We wanted them to be able to touch the medal and see that were living proof that if you work hard anything is possible, said Karina LeBlanc, goalkeeper with the Canadian team that captured bronze at the 2012 Games in Lon-don.Its a chance to talk

with the kids, tell our stories and talk about some obstacles weve overcome.

Mike Rankin, vice-president of the Mid-Isle Soccer Club, said the visit by the Olympi-ans was a real hit with the younger players.The session with the

younger kids was just fantastic to see these kids with stars in their eyes having so much

fun with their soccer heroes, said Rankin.Not only are they

world-class athletes, theyre all very ac-complished speakers. Theyre really strong role models for youth and our club, and com-ing as it does at the start of the soccer season its a fantastic chance to get everybody pumped up.

One of those get-ting pumped up by the chance to meet Cana-das stars was Hannah Stannard, a fullback with the U17 VIPL Up-per Island Storm.I love that theyre do-

ing all this, its really cool, said the 16-year-old who helped the na-tional team members with one of the training sessions for younger players. Just the expe-rience and being able to work with them, it boosts your confi-dence.

While the crowd at Fridays leadership lun-cheon was mainly girls, Rankin said the training sessions drew a fairly even mix of boys and girls.

Female players repre-sent a growing segment of soccer across the country, and Rankin es-timates girls represent close to 40 per cent of the 400-plus players with Mid-Isle Soccer Club.Our house league

teams for girls are stuffed full, said Rankin, adding the club is see-ing more growth among girls.

Diana Matheson, a midfield/forward with the national team, said shes noticed the growth in womens soc-cer since she started playing at the age of five.Weve always had a

ton of support at home games but after London I think it just pushed it over the edge. Ca-nadians just love their soccer right now, said Matheson.

The womens game is expected to get another major boost next sum-mer when Canada plays host to the FIFA Wom-ens World Cup.I think Canada is

ready to come out in number and cheer for womens soccer and especially for Canada at home, said Mathe-son. Its going to be up to us to deliver a perfor-mance thats going to keep them interested through the tournament and beyond.

NEGRIN, BRUNO

FEB.28, 1931 SEPT.1, 2014 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our father, Bruno Negrin. Dad was born in Italy, and made his courageous voyage to Canada at the age of 18. He fi rst settled in New Westminster with family, where he worked and lived for a few years. He eventually met Bernice, his true love, and they lived

where the work was. They settled in Chemainus. Dad

worked at the M&B Sawmill, where he became an exceptional crane

operator. He was very proud of that!! Dad loved his gardening, fi shing and hunting....especially with Mom! Many stories have been shared over the years, of the grand adventures they had! Mom passed in 2008, and she was dearly missed! Dad battled many health issues, that took their toll, and he moved to Sunridge last summer. His past year at Sunridge gave many happy memories to all who knew him there. His fresh grown summer salads will be missed by all the staff and friends.He will be greatly missed by his children, Diane (Barry), and Ted (Donna), grandchildren, great grandchildren sister Rena (Tony), his family still in Italy, nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. Many thanks to Dr. Dan Philippson, emergency doctors, and the 3rd fl oor nursing staff at CDH.A memorial service and tea will be held on Monday, September 15, 2014 at 1 pm. at Sands Funeral Chapel, 187 Trunk Road Duncan, BC. In Lieu of fl owers, donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation will be greatly appreciated. Online condolences may be offered at www.sandsduncan.ca
