Whether it was water-front development or raising chickens in backyards, the Town Ha l l meet ing he ld July 19 left everyone with something to talk about.

More than 80 local residents hunkered down at Aggie Hall for a three and a half hour discussion on the issues and projects that will shape the short-

and long-term vision for Ladysmith.

During his opening remarks, Mayor Rob Hutchins reviewed a wealth of information on the town and its demographics.

Hutchins also took some time to outline some of the town’s recent successes, like the community gardens, Highland Gathering, skate park completion, and Forrest Field devel-opment, which is part of a larger sports field

development at the end of Fourth Avenue.

The town has been able to stay out of fur-ther debt by financing many of its projects through partnerships with other levels of government, individu-als and community groups and by obtain-ing grants, selling prop-erty and using savings, Hutchins said.

Participants were then asked to pick their own Top 5 desired top-ics for discussion.

The crowd was able to get through seven out of eight possible topics presented before running out of time, leaving out the Festival of Lights.

Audience members g o t t o p a r t i c i p a t e throughout the meet-ing not only through discussion but also pol l ing . At tendees used electronic voting remotes to anonymous-ly vote on a variety of polls related to the top-ics at hand — see our

side bar for some of the results.

Each topic was pre-ceded by a brief back-ground or presentation by Hutchins or city staff before going up for Q&A.

❱ Fire hall upgrade

The Ladysmith Fire Hall was a popular topic for discussion, as counc i l cons id -ers an upgrade to the Sixth Avenue faci l -ity. The upgrade would add footage to the

existing building to the west and north. While plans are still in dis-cussion, Hutchins said the project could cost anywhere in the area of $3 to $5 million. The upgrade could qualify for funding from the government, but it will be limited, he added.“We are a growing

community. We have equipment that is par-ticularly larger than it was 30 years ago,” Hutchins said. “As the photos show, there isn’t

much room to fit trucks in the building.”

Ladysmith Fire Chief Ray Delcourt said an upgrade would take the fire department into the next 40 years of service.

The fire hall was origi-nally built in 1972 at a cost of $137,000. Since then, the building hasn’t seen any renovation other than a $175,000 earthquake upgrade in 1995.

“We’ve gotten to the point where the fire hall is too small for us,” Delcourt said. “We’re trying to work with council to possibly, over the next couple of years, to look at this upgrade so we can protect the township of Ladysmith and give our firefighters an advantage to have better equipment and being able to improve our fire hall.”

Audience members inquired about the cur-rent response times.“We have one of the

quicker volunteer fire departments on the Island,” Delcourt said.

The response time is approximately four minutes, and about eight to 10 minutes for the southern areas of Ladysmith . Rob Johnson questioned whether it would be

feasible to build a sub-station in the south end where the population is growing.“For us to start think-

ing of a second hall out in the south area of town, there would be problems with this because they would need to find firefighters to man the equipment,” Delcourt explained.

❱ Backyard chickens

The fifth most popular topic of the night cen-tred around backyard chickens. The Town of Ladysmith is consider-ing permitting backyard chickens for personal, non-commercial use.

Many other commu-nities such as Nanaimo have made the move to permit chickens, with the idea they promote a reduction in organic waste, provide food security and make

good pets.A backyard chicken

permit would only allow a limit of four to five hens to be con-tained in an enclosure per property with no roosters.

One audience mem-ber questioned wheth-er permitting chickens would open the door to permitting other barn-yard animals. Another wanted to know if other communities with back-yard chicken bylaws in place were seeing any negative issues.“I have heard none,”

Hutchins said.Stan Jordan said the

move would be a step in the right direction.“I’m a big believer in

the idea of less control by councils and gov-ernments and every-body would be happier, including the chickens,” he said. “I’ve got room

in my backyard to have chickens, and I’d love to see council approv-ing this. I certainly wouldn’t have them myself because they’re a pain in the neck to look after, but I ’m going to vote yes on the basis that it shows that in Ladysmith, there’s a certain amount of free-dom that you can do what you want to do, including keep chick-ens in the back yard.”

Hutchins then stressed that there will be regu-lations if the permits were put into place.

❱ Licensing catsThe final discussion of

the night had residents pondering whether the town should implement a cat control bylaw that could include manda-tory licensing of all cats and regulations on keeping them indoors.

Stricter rules could help address public health and safety con-

cerns caused by roam-ing outdoor cats such as rabies and toxoplas-mosis.“Our grandchildren

have picked up ring-worm and tapeworm from playing places where cats have def-ecated so that’s hap-pening in your back-yard,” said Coun. Bruce Whittington. “There are other issues

here too, one is that the SPCA will tell you that outdoor cats will live an average of about three years, and indoor cats, on average, live about 14 years, so it’s better for cats.”

Audience members expressed concerns that reducing the num-ber of felines in the great outdoors would allow undesirable spe-cies such as rats, to increase in number.

“The other side of the equation is that every vole or native

mouse that a cat takes is one less for native hawks and owls, which depend on it to feed their young as part of a natural ecosystem, and cats are not a natural part of that ecosystem,” Whittington said, add-ing that cats will not typically attack a full grown rat.

❱ Waterfrontdevelopment

The most voted-for topic was the Ladysmith waterfront.

Council is re-visiting the town’s waterfront area plan and asked residents what sort of development they would like to see take shape.

Hutchins said in the coming weeks, a total of four reports will be completed on the area— environmental, geo-technical, bathymetry and remedial options and costs.

Discussions on the

waterfront included everything from walk-ways to high density development to an RV Campsite.

Audience members seemed keen on the idea of development which would attract more people to the Transfer Beach area.“Six million tourists

drive by Ladysmith every year. I think it’s about time we have something more than a Tim Hortons to pull them in,” said one resi-dent.

The meeting, which was set to end at 9 p.m. adjourned at 10 p.m. and the town plans to hold a second meeting in September to continue the dis-cussions.

Pick up next week’s Chronicle for more issues covered at the meeting including a dog park, secondary suites and the trolley.

Matthew PetersonTHE CHRONICLE

As Ladysmith prepares to see many initiatives either move forward or completed, Mayor Rob Hutchins has decided to let his name stand for the town’s top spot again.

The 18-year veteran mayor said the commu-nity’s drive and enthusi-asm makes Ladysmith a great place to be mayor.“We are so fortunate

to be served by so many different volun-teer groups, organiza-tions and individuals,” said Hutchins, adding

that passion is equally shared between new and long-established residents.

Some of the projects Hutchins wants to con-tinue to be a part of include the reinvestiga-tion of the waterfront development plan, the next phase of the Lot 108 development, add-ing secondary treat-ment to Ladysmith’s s e w a g e t r e a t m e n t , building of the new pipeline from Arbutus Reservoir to the South End and merging the economic development and environmental commissions.“All of those are chal-

lenges and opportuni-ties for us in the next term and term after that,” said Hutchins.“We have such a won-

derful opportunity that we didn’t have, or didn’t aspire to, even six or ten years ago,” said Hutchins about developing the water-front.

The new develop-ments at the north end of town offer the chance for a lot of new residential develop-ments, meaning the town could look at different uses for the waterfront plan, which had included a mix of commercial and

residential buildings as well as community spaces.“Maybe the waterfront

shouldn’t be a residen-tial development,” said Hutchins, who is thank-ful they did not proceed with the waterfront

vision plan in the ’90s. “It should be a people place.”

This could include restaurants , board walks and perhaps a hotel, Hutchins mused.“Why would we sacri-

fice a unique parcel of land for private devel-opment such as resi-dential development?”

In terms of the new joint economic and environmental commit-tee, Hutchins said they have commissioned a report on sustainabil-ity that they are hoping to bring to the group in August or September.“It ’s a new way of

thinking, a new way of

doing business,” said Hutchins.

Climate change and food security are two issues that concern Hutchins and he wants t o s e e t h e r e g i o n addressing the rising cost of energy and food.

Affordable housing is another issue of increas-ing urgency Ladysmith needs to deal with in the near future.

Hutchins said the amount of people run-ning for office is usu-ally correlated to the number of issues on the table, but he did not speculate as to how many people may

run against him this November.“I would not be sur-

prised,” said Hutchins w h e n a s k e d i f h e expected any competi-tion.“Democracy works

b e s t w h e n t h e r e ’s choices.”

Hutchins said the town hosts a meeting in late-August or early September to speak to people interested in running for public office.“What we do is give

them all the challenges and all the opportuni-ties,” said Hutchins.“We invite them to do

their homework.”

A 25-year-old man who was believed to be responsible for a 350 per cent spike in thefts from vehicles in Ladysmith was sen-tenced to seven months in jail and nine months probation on July 19.

L a d y s m i t h R C M P Staff Sergeant Roger Plamondon said the male, Derek Vautour, w h o h a d r e c e n t l y moved to Ladysmith from another commu-nity, was caught after using a stolen credit card at a local busi-ness.

Police also found his fingerprints in a few vehicles.“We were only able to

get enough informa-tion to pinpoint him to a couple of thefts

from motor vehicles here in the commu-nity,” Plamondon said.

“Surveillance camera footage had him using the card.”

Since the arrest was made, vehicle theft incidences have already started to normalize in the area.“In terms of the theft

from motor vehicles, we average three per week in the commu-nity, and we had spikes

where we had as many as 12 reported per week at our detachment,” Plamondon said.

As always, the RCMP encourages members of the public not to leave valuables in the car, especially their wallets or anything to do with personal identification. “We’re always con-

cerned about identity theft,” Plamondon said.

Plamondon said it is most important to keep your vehicle locked at all times, as the majority of thefts the RCMP see are related to unlocked vehicles.“There is no safe spot

to leave anything in a vehicle if you’re going out, even if it’s just for a minute or two,” he said.

“Take your wallet with you, take your camera with you. Don’t leave anything inside.”

Ladysmith may serve as part of the setting for a new Hallmark movie next month.

Producer Paul Rayman was in Ladysmith on July 21 to speak with the Downtown Business Association to see if there would be any objections or problems to filming downtown.

Rayman said he was not ready to reveal all the details, but noted the director of the movie has identified Ladysmith as a place they would like to film. The movie is to be called The Note

— Heart Healer and is of the romantic variety, said Rayman.“We certainly want to

work with the commu-nity,” said Rayman.

Tw o b u s i n e s s e s , Salamander Books and Ladysmith Flowers and Gifts, have been approached as possible filming locations.

Rayman said a lot of details, including the actors, will be ironed out within the next week and they will be looking for some extras when the time comes.

Frieda Douglas, who o w n s S a l a m a n d e r Books, said while noth-ing is certain yet, they are thrilled with the idea.“We’re excited about

the opportunity,” said Douglas. “We’re all in favour of things that make the community more interesting.”


The town is looking for public feedback on their Liquid Waste Management Plan.

Residents will soon be getting a letter in the mail outl ining some of the plans and asking for public feed-back.“The plan lays out

what we are going to be doing for the next 20 to 50 years,” said Joe Friesenhan, direc-tor of public works.At issue is the fact the

town needs to upgrade their sewage treatment to a secondary level, as legislated by the B.C. government.“All coastal communi-ties have to be on sec-ondary treatment.”

C u r r e n t l y s o l i d waste is chlorinated

and removed at the treatment facility. The by-product is then de-chlorinated and pumped out into the harbour.

This process is what is known as primary treatment.At the secondary level,

what is produced must be cleaner.

T h e c o s t o f t h e secondary system is pegged at $12 mil -lion. Friesenhan said the town has applied for grants that , i f received, will mean taxes will not have to increase. If the town is not awarded the grants, it could mean an extra $115 added to the sewer parcel tax in the next few years. Whether the increase is done in one year or over several will be up to council.

Friesenhan said a number of factors can delay a town in achieving secondary treatment, as there is extensive financing and planning involved.

In Ladysmith, the town was exploring an alternative, non-biological treatment (using electric cur-rents).“We were hoping it

would help. We tested for five, six, seven

years before we final-ly said, ‘OK, that’s enough, we’ve got to move on.’ ““It had potential, but

it wasn’t proven yet.”In primary treatment,

there is a maximum total suspended sol-ids (TSS) and biologi-cal oxygen demand (BOD is the amount of oxygen needed for biological organisms to break down waste) of 135 mg/litre.

Us ing secondary treatment, the TSS and BOD levels reach a maximum of 45 mg/l. Tertiary treatment, if needed after further testing, would reduce the levels to below 10 mg/l.

If after further test-ing the levels are not acceptable, the town will have to look at further upgrades.

This could include extending the outfall pipe beyond Ladysmith H a r b o u r ’s e m b a y -ment area at a cost of roughly $5 million or a $115 tax increase or increasing treatment to the tertiary level at a cost of $7 million or a $166 increase (that’s without grants).

At the town hal l meeting, participants were asked if they would prefer extend-ing the pipe or going to tertiary treatment if needed.

Out of the 79 peo-ple at the meeting 58 wanted to see the extra treatment, seven said they would prefer extending the pipe and 14 wanted more infor-mation.“That’s a good thing,” said Friesenhan about the results.

T h e T o w n o f Ladysmith has awarded the contract to build Phase 2 of the sew-age treatment facil-ity — the solids han-dling — to Knappett

Projects . Knappett was the lowest bidder at $959,640 plus HST. Other bidders included C&M Developments, Farmer Construction, D R o b i n s o n

C o n t r a c t i n g a n d Seafirst Construction. T h e i r b i d s r a n g e d from $967,306.31 to $1,325,000. Project engineers, Opus Dayton Knight, reviewed the

tenders. Around two-thirds of the project, worth $2,339,370, is funded by the British Columbia Community Water Improvement Program.

GO GIRL is a fun sum-mer program centred around helping girls reach their short- and long-term goals before the new school year, said Lindsey Krish,

Ladysmith Resources Centre youth worker.“It’s about the power of

girls working together, setting and achieving goals, teaching them boundaries and how to work in a group setting, bullying and bully pre-vention,” Krish said “It’s quite a popular

program for the young girls.”

In addition to a num-ber of fun activities including arts and crafts, participants will also get to be taken on

a Ladysmith Harbour Tour.

GO GIRL is being run in conjunction with the Nanaimo Women’s Centre, who offers the program every year.

This is the first year for the LRCA, who held an initial Go Girl session in July for girls aged 10-13.“It was pretty good,

it was a group of girls that knew each other a l ready and go to school together,” Krish said.

“We had someone come from community kitchens in Nanaimo to do a little talk about nutrition, healthy eat-ing, and then they cooked with them.”

GO Girl runs Monday, August 8 to Thursday, August 11 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Lunch is pro-vided.

For more information on the GO Girl pro-gram, contact Lindsey a t t h e L a d y s m i t h Resources Centre at 250-245-3079.

Program pushes girls to achieve their goals

expenses;$12,768.33 was moved

Echo Heights on hold

Peter RuslandBLACK PRESS

Police are investigat-ing if a medical condi-tion of a Chemainus senior contributed to his traffic death July 21 on the Island Highway at Fuller Lake Road.

The RCMP are not releasing the name of the deceased man in his late 70s, said Cpl. Markus Lueder of North Cowichan/Duncan’s detachment.

The crash occurred just after 10 a.m. on

July 21 in the north-bound lanes of the Trans-Canada Highway outside Chemainus.“According to a wit-

ness, a newer Chevrolet Cobalt was seen slowly entering highway traffic from Fuller Lake Road when it was struck on the driver’s-side door by a late-model Acura SUV heading north on the Trans-Canada,” Lueder said.

The male was alone in his car.

He pronounced dead at the scene.

An RCMP collision analyst attended the wreck, and police are investigating if a prior medical condition may have played a role in his death, Lueder explained.

A middle-age female driver from Saanich was the lone occupant of the SUV. She suf-fered non-life threaten-ing injuries, was taken to hospital, and later released, he said.

No charges are pend-ing from the incident, Lueder noted.

Medical factors eyed after crash

The Echo Heights debate will not be set-tled until after the fall civic election at the earliest.

N o r t h C o w i c h a n council decided today to postpone a hearing about the proposed Chemainus develop-ment until sometime after B.C.’s Nov. 19 vote.

Council’s ruling basi-cally avoids legal ques-tions, and citizen criti-cism of council rush-ing through expected heavy debate about the publicly owned forest, North Cowichan Mayor Tom Walker explained.“The zoning stays for

now at second reading with no public hear-ing date set,” Walker

told the News Leader Pictorial.

The hearing was set for July 21 but a techni-cal error, found by staff in ads about the hear-ing, killed that date.

Walker said the human error may have left council open to legal challenges had the July 21 hearing happened.

There were a total of 71 calls for service over this period of time. To date, 2,219 incidents have been reported to the detachment (2,390 for the same period in 2010).

Tuesday, July 12 ❱ A male used a crow

bar to try to break into a hydro shed on a prop-erty at 12335 Rocky Creek Road. Police sus-pect the man fled in a vehicle from the nearby A&W parking lot after a service dog tracked his scent to that location. The male is described as being Caucasian, 5’9, slim, black hat, black jacket, 35 years old, and stubble on his face.

❱ A culprit who stole a weed eater in the 100 block of First Avenue returned to the scene and stole two jerry cans. Both containers were about half full and stored under a front deck out of sight. The estimated value of the stolen property is $40. Wednesday, July 13

❱ An attempted theft of a vehicle was made on Spruston Road. The owner had left his vehicle and returned to it an hour later to find the ignition tampered with. A speaker was stolen along with gas.

❱ An individual who was parked at the Frank Jameson Community Centre had one side hit on her vehicle.

Thursday, July 14

Three males were spotted fleeing the scene of a robbery at Uforik Computers on First Avenue in Ladysmith after steal-ing about $4,500 in computer equipment. They were seen leav-ing in a white vehicle. Persons with informa-tion are asked to con-tact Crimestoppers or the Ladysmith RCMP at 250-245-2215.

❱ More than $800 worth of tools were teaken from a truck in the 200 block of First Avenue. The i tems included “L” arms, four ratchet straps, and a magnetic light set.Friday, July 15 ❱ A road check con-

ducted at Spitfire Road and the Trans-Canada Highway resulted in one violation ticket and seven warnings issued.

Saturday, July 16

❱ A Norman Road homeowner reported that someone had driv-en over the front part of his lawn and ripped up the grass. On fur-ther inspection, police found skid marks and fishtail marks on the gravel road leading to the residence.Sunday, July 17 A $600 Acer laptop

was stolen right out of an open window. The victim told police the suspect took the laptop off a desk in the bedroom and then got into a red vehicle. The RCMP located the vehicle and a man was arrested. A search of the trunk revealed the stolen laptop. The male was later released on a promise to appear in court.

❱ A n u n l i c e n s e d dr iver was caught driving a vehicle dur-ing a road block at the intersection of Quenell and Vanappelen Roads. The driver was charged under the Motor Vehicle Act and the vehicle was

impounded for seven days.

❱ A speed enforce-ment operation at the intersection of Spitfire Road and the Trans-C a n a d a H i g h w a y resulted in five tickets issued.

❱ A member observed a suspicious driver pull out of Dalby’s towing yard. The vehicle was subsequently stopped and the driver identi-fied. Charges of theft under $5,000 and pro-hibited driving will be forwarded to the Crown. The vehicle was towed back to the compound.

❱ Sometime over the weekend someone took a joyride in the cornfields on a Yellow Point Road farm. The farmer believed the incident happened on Friday, July 15, late at night, but he did not discover the damage to the fields until two days later. The RCMP are request ing the public’s assistance in identifying the culprits involved.Monday, July 18 ❱ A woman told police

she was believed to be a victim of fraud after receiving numerous calls from a California number. She ignored the calls for a while, but then answered one. A male was on the line and advised her that her computer firewall was endangered and he was going to go on line and fix it. She gave him some computer info and allowed him access. He then said that it would cost $199 to fix it. A credit card number was provided. Realizing it was a scam, she took her computer to a local computer store for repairs and cancelled her credit card.

❱ A vandalized HST R e f e r e n d u m s i g n was brought in to the detachment. An exam

revealed that the Vote ‘Yes’ HST was still on both sides of the sign. A “NO” label appeared

to be on ones side but had been removed. Two other stickers have been added to the signs altering letters to ‘Extinguish the PST’ (H to a P) and ‘FightHST.com’. (H to an P). The stickers in question match both font and colour of the existing signs. The sign was found on Thursday July 14, 2011 at the north end of the boulevard on the Trans Canada Highway near the intersection of Symonds Street.

RCMP

VICTORIA – The B.C. g o v e r n m e n t h a s released its audited

public accounts for what Bill Vander Zalm enthusiasts strain to depict as Year One of the Harmonized Sales Tax Apocalypse.

So let’s survey this alleg-edly bleak landscape of shut-tered hair salons and seniors hoarding pet food, waiting for Belgian bureaucrats to come calling for more.

Retail sales increased 5.3 per cent in 2010. Growth has softened so far this year, but there’s no evidence it’s due to the HST. (Retail sales are mostly goods, which are mostly unaffected.)

B.C.’s economy grew by four per cent, third in Canada behind those new northern tigers Saskatchewan and Newfoundland. We beat Alberta as well as have-not Ontario.

The provincial deficit dropped by nearly a billion dollars, even though spend-ing on government services continued its relentless rise with another billion-dollar increase. That’s four per cent spending growth, the same as the growth rate of the economy.

But as usual, two thirds of it is health-care spending, growing closer to twice that fast.

Hair salons? My barber voted No to Vander Zalm. His accounting is simpler, his price is still reasonable and customers aren’t gener-ally prepared to start cutting their own hair.

Restaurant association head Ian Tostenson predict-ed thousands of restaurants would close because of HST, and then mused about run-ning for premier. Fortunately, we were spared from both of these scenarios.

Finance Minister Kevin Falcon put out some spin about how tight-fisted spend-ing control brought the defi-cit down from the 10-figure range. Prudence, he called it. Prune juice is more like it.

It was economic growth that paid the bills, with mills and mines opening and con-sumers spending. Former

premier Bill Bennett’s obser-vation still applies: B.C. is a small, open resource economy in a volatile world market.

C o m m o d i t y m a r k e t s have strengthened to the point where even the ris-ing Canadian dollar is being overcome.

Expansion to Asia is pro-ceeding, assisted by a long-term federal-provincial strat-egy that the NDP opposed. A skilled labour shortage already exists in the B.C. northeast and is forecast to spread across the province.

The government’s latest labour market survey esti-mates that B.C. will be in a labour shortage by 2016, and there will be one million job openings by 2020. One third of these will come from eco-nomic growth, two thirds from retiring baby boom-ers. Unlike next year’s HST revenues, this prediction is relatively easy to make with precision.

Job growth does depend, however, on a competitive tax environment, with com-petition from Ontario and elsewhere.

The public accounts also confirm what we found out last fall, that HST revenues have run ahead of expec-

tations. HST haters like to claim the tax was promised to be revenue neutral. That finance ministry estimate was only for the first year, and it proved pessimistic. As with gasoline prices, exter-nal forces drown out B.C. tax adjustments in the short term.

Currently it looks as if going back to the old pro-vincial sales tax will cost the treasury about $600 million in revenue in each of the next few years. HST rate cuts are made up by economic growth.

Or we can return to a 60-year-old retail sales tax developed for a post-war, pre-service economy, and continue a B.C. political debate that revolves around 30-year-old socialist ideol-ogy. The deficit will imme-diately jump back up to the 10-digit range.

So if your HST referendum envelope is still in the bot-tom of your recycling bin, you might consider fishing it out and casting a No vote. They have to be delivered to Elections BC by Aug. 5.

Ladysmith again has the opportunity to break new ground and lay the foundation for future projects.

Last week, local business entrepreneurs and youth had a chance to sit down and talk about projects youth want to see in Ladysmith.

In the end, hopefully the Ladysmith Resources Centre will be given a grant saddling up close to $200,000 to help youth start a business, run by youth and catered by youth.

That is the best thing about it, the youthful enthu-siasm behind the whole thing.

This was not a bunch of people behind the scenes telling youth what they should do, why they should do it and what will be successful in Ladysmith. There are too many instances of that happening already.

From the beginning of the plan, youth were meant to lead the charge and see it through to the end.

And while the project is in the hands of the youth, there still seems to be a great deal of behind-the-scenes support that will be needed and much-ap-preciated to make sure it gets off the ground and continues to soar.

It is still early, but already word is there is a great group of youth ready to roll up their sleeves and a pack of mentors ready to back them up.

There have been some suggestions already thrown out and there is still a great deal more work to do.

However, the tracks already laid prove the Resources Centre and Ladysmith is worthy to make it to the next step.

Editor:

The Ladysmith Trolley was one of the items on the mayor’s public meeting agenda last Tuesday.

He told us the reason the town looked at getting a trolley was because Ladysmith was the only town in the western communities of a comparable size that didn’t have a transit system.

To which I say, so what? We are now probably the only town that has a bus running around empty for 10 hours a day.

The mayor himself said the aver-age ridership is 8.4 passengers an hour which means that at any one time the bus might carry at most one or two people. Yes, OK, there is a little blip when a few students use it.

The bus like any small business needs time to grow, the mayor says. If ridership is at 8.4 riders after nearly two years, there doesn’t seem much hope for more in the future. Now the council is starting a fare system in the fall: $1 for kids and seniors, $2 for everybody else, regardless of distance travelled it seems. So the question is, if nobody rides a bus that is free to ride now, who is going to pay to ride it?

Time to cut our losses and admit that, as good an idea as it may have seemed at conception, it has proved to be a non-starter. There is just no reason to ride the bus in Ladysmith. It’s just not convenient.

Editor:

When the HST was thrown at us last year, I was angry, confused and also curious. After checking the list of items with the added tax that would affect my family, I just shook my head.

You know, one of the hardest ones to grasp was the tax on fruit trees and tomato plants. We can’t even grow our own food without an added tax!

Over the past year, I’ve kept a scrapbook of news editorials and

comments from the people of B.C. relating to the “hated” sales tax (these were mostly from one news source — so across the province I presume there are a hundred/thou-sand fold more comments) Most of these are negative.

This is an imposed tax, that was promised NOT to be implement-ed, and because of the deceitful actions of the current government (on various issues) a good portion of BC residents have turned against the HST.

Now we are threatened ( I don’t know what else to call it) that it will cost so much more to return to the PST and this will further burden the B.C. taxpayer. Ummm, have all records been destroyed that show how PST works? The latest budget shows some creative bookkeeping. Couldn’t the finance minister put some of this creativity into finding solutions for this issue?

In the news this past year, there have been many doom and gloom

stories about the financial problems around the world. My goodness, Greece - one of the seats of civiliza-tion - is broke. Ireland is under the crunch. Strife in the Middle East and North African countries due to deceit and greed of the leaders.

We can’t begin to compare our HST fight to the problems faced by these other nations but that shouldn’t mean we can’t stand up to what we perceive as an inequality in the cost of living here at home.

The feds gave BC $1.6 billion to implement the HST. Revenue since last July was $4.176 billion? Surely our donation wasn’t spent in one year. If so — WHERE? The people need to see a breakdown of that $1.6 billion expenditure. I’m almost afraid to ask — but did any of it go toward paying the Olympic party bill?

One last note of concern is the way the HST referendum vot-ing package was presented to us. Would voting new citizens and

even some elderly really under-stand this process? I don’t think so! Questions to Elections BC:If a valid voter didn’t receive a voting package in time to submit, will this invalidate the results?Will Elections BC tell us how many votes are rejected (ie wrong mark-ing or wrong use of envelopes)?W h y d i d s o m e p e o p l e r e c e i v e t w o p a c k a g e s ?Why did some people receive none?

Immediately after the postal strike, my husband received his HST package. I waited another four days or so and then phoned Elections BC on July 12th and was assured a package would be in the mail. Not here yet! Phoned them again July 21 (as the 22nd is the deadline for taking calls) and was assured a package would be in the mail. Will I get one in time?

Hop on over to digital TV for free.

On August 31, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)

Town officials are drinking in another year of clean water samples.

The 2010 water quali-ty report was presented to council at their July 18 government services meeting with sparkling results.“Our findings have

been very good. We h a v e g o o d - q u a l i t y w a t e r , ” s a i d J o e Friesenhan, director of public works.

Out of the 123 samples taken of Ladysmith’s drinking water, two were found to have traces of total coliform (an indicator of organ-isms in the water). It proved to be a sampling error, as the two sites

— Farrell Road and Hooper Place — were retested and found to be clean.“These things are so

delicate. If guys work in the dirt and their hands are not clean and they sample it ... you can get

the thing (sample) con-taminated.“Every time you get a

bad test, the first thing you do is retest.”

E v e n t h o u g h Ladysmith’s samples are clean, there is still work to be done includ-ing the upgrading of waterlines, treatment and, possibly filtration.

This is a busy year for Ladysmith water works as the town looks to centralize treatment, instead of two facilities, and new pipelines link-ing the town’s two sepa-rate water supplies.

I n t e r m s o f t h e asbestos piping still running under many of the town’s streets, Friesenhan said there is still a program in place to replace them with PVC piping a little each year.“We have so much

money that we spend on that type of work every year,” he said. A block and a half of lines around High Street and Second Avenue were

just replaced this year.Friesenhan said there

is still 29 to 32 kilome-tres of asbestos piping

left to replace. The pipes, he said, pose no health risk to residents, but it could pose a risk

to workers if there is a line break.

“Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the loveli-est lady in the land?”

In Chemainus, that lovely lady is Cowichan-raised actress Samantha C u r r i e w h o p l a y s pretty Snow White in Chemainus Theatre F e s t i v a l ’s c u r r e n t Kidzplay production. “It’s a participation play,

which means the kids have an active role in both their seats and dif-ferent parts of the play

and we’ll also call up, or sign up, a few kids to be the actual dwarves in the story,” Artistic Director Mark DuMez said.

Kidzplay is a 10-year strong tradition for the Chemainus Theatre.

Last year’s kid-friend-ly hit was Munsch Ado About Nothing.

The theatrical produc-tion of Robert Munsch s t o r i e s f u s e d w i t h Shakespearean rhetoric was a smashing success, said DuMez who doesn’t doubt Snow White –

Sleepy, Grumpy, Doc and all – will stand up to the program’s reputation. “This one is for a young-

er audience than some of our other Kidzplay s h o w s h a v e b e e n , ” DuMez said, noting the targeted age group is four to 10 year olds. “Some two-year-olds

might feel comfortable to participate,” he said.

Other past kiddie pro-ductions have included Winnie the Pooh, Jake’s Gift and Pet Fish. “This particular one

(Snow White) is really

geared to give kids an interactive experience with the story,” DuMez said. “What they take from the theatre, is a time to engage their imaginations, spirits of playfulness, in a good classic story.”

T h e y m i g h t t h i n k twice too after watch-ing Snow White when making friends at the playground, DuMez said, noting Snow White ’s darker tale of decep-tion.

The cast of Snow White is being led by

Morgan McLeod and stage managed by Alex Currie.

Kudos go to Marshall McMahen for scen -ery design, as well as Connie Hosie for cos-tumes, Mike Bowen for lighting, and Alison Jenkins for the show’s tunes.

Garry Garneau stars as the handsome prince alongside Currie.

Leora Joy Godden plays the evil queen.

The show opened July 13 and runs until Aug. 20.

Kidzplay production engages young imaginations

Magic of Sid and Lena returnsThe magic melodies

of Sid & Lena will take over the Transfer Beach Amphitheatre for the lat-est in the Concerts in the Park series on July 31 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Sidney Johnson, who makes up one half of Sid & Lena, says it will be the local duo’s first public performance since May.“People can expect

a lot of passion and a deep love of music, as we re-unite after a long hiatus to explore the edges of Canadiana, rock and pop,” he said.

Johnson’s ‘partner in rhyme’ Lena Birtwistle said spectators will en joy the i r un ique chemistry as two musi-cians stemming from different backgrounds.“He comes from more

of a jamming back-

ground, I come from a classical piano back-ground but something just always clicks. I’ve tried working with other people and there’s just something really magi-cal that happens when we’re working together,” Birtwistle said. “Our voices somehow really work together.”

Johnson and Birtwistle have been working

together musically for the last three and a half years and have released one album under the name Adamantines. Their work can also be found on iTunes.

The two came togeth-er after Johnson heard Birtwistle singing on the streets of Ladysmith. Birtwistle said she had been looking to work with another musician

at the time.“It was mostly a lot of

talking and a lot of try-ing to figure out what songs would work,” Birtwistle said. “He’s got that creative disor-ganized mentality and I’m really organized and like to have every-thing in its place. Now that we’ve been play-ing together its been molded into a roots/

rock sound.”Birtwistle said she

would like to perform more in the community of Ladysmith, which she calls home.“I ’ve always found

Ladysmith to be arts focused and supportive of the music scene.”

She said she is excit-ed to be a part of the Concerts in the Park lineup again this year.“That particular con-

cert is real ly great because so many peo-ple get to come out and the times I’ve gone to see the other artists, there’s always such good attendance,” she said. “When you have a good show you feel like you’ve given back some-thing positive.”

The Concerts in the Park is a fundraiser o r g a n i z e d b y t h e Ladysmith Resources Centre. Admission is by donation.

Bird lovers flock to dock

If you stand on the shores of Transfer Beach on any given full moon, you may just hear the kayakers howl.

On August 12 and 13, Sealegs Kayaking will continue their 14-year tradition of navigating the nighttime waters of Ladysmith Harbour with their moonlight tours.

The tour got so popu-lar that Sealegs started offering a second ladies’ night edition.“It’s romance for the

soul,” said Sealegs owner Sheryll Bell.“ Yo u ’ r e o n e w i t h

nature and yet you’re doing something that’s refreshing and exciting and healthy.”

While it may be con-sidered the more uncon-ventional side of sea voyaging, moonlight kayaking can provide a unique and memorable experience for singles and couples alike.

“You always remember your first time,” Bell said. “At night, if we’ve got good phosphores-cence, the tours are beautiful. I remember one time doing a full moon tour and I spent more time splashing in the water, I was so fascinated.”

A c c o r d i n g t o Wikipedia, phospho-rescence is described as a process in which energy absorbed by a substance is released relatively slowly in the form of light. Some may describe it as underwa-ter glitter.

Bell said kayaking at night opens a whole new world. The Ladysmith Harbour lights up with a visual feast when the

moon rises over Thetis Island.“When you’re out there,

you’re much more in tune to what you’re doing,” Bell said. “You get a sense of peace. You get that anyway when you’re out on the water, but at nighttime, your senses are that much more acute.”

The full moon tour starts at dusk with a pre-demo and fitting to make sure everyone is secure and ready to tread the dark waters.

For those who still feel unsure about being in their own kayak, double kayaks are available for those who want to get cozy, how-ever because of the co-operation required to operate one, couples

need jump aboard at their own risk.“It’s sometimes called

the divorce boat,” Bell quipped. All kayakers need to

be prepared for the cooler nighttime tem-peratures and wear light/white-coloured layered clothing.

A personal flashlight or headlamp is also required.“We want to be as vis-

ible in the water as pos-sible,” Bell explained.

Best of all, no experi-ence is needed to take in a full moon tour.“ I f y o u ’ r e r e a l l y

stressed out, you can imagine how wonder-ful it would be to go out there and enjoy some time with people,” Bell said.“Even the sound of

water and the paddling is very calming.”

The tours can accom-modate up to 12 kay-akers and sea-goers can expect a variety of personalities.“You never know who

you’re going to get to go out with,” she said.“Sometimes during a

quiet moment people will break into song. Then sometimes people get crazy and start howl-ing at the moon.”“It’s great for story or

joke telling, because you have people’s cap-tive attention.”

For more informa-tion on the moonlight tours, contact Sealegs Kayaking at 250-245-4096 or visit www.sea-legskayaking.com.

T h e L a d y s m i t h Cannons will head to the Mosquito AA Baseball C h a m p i o n s h i p s i n Surrey this week after placing first in the Island Zone Baseball Championships.

The team went unde-feated against four other teams to earn the title during the tourna-ment, which was held at High Street Ball Park July 22-24.“It was just a really

good, fun tournament, everybody enjoyed it,” said coach Darren Rasmussen.

During the weekend, the Cannons won 13-5 in their game against Oceanside, 16-7 against Salt Spring and 17-10 versus Port Alberni.

They earned their last victory against Comox

Valley Sunday 4-3 after being down 2-0 mid-game.

The craziest game of the tournament was be tween Por t Alberni and Oceanside, Rasmussen said. Port Alberni was down 19-7 before tying the game.

The journey to Surrey will be a fantastic expe-rience for the team, no matter what the out-come.“This is really what

m a k e s t h e s e k i d s want to play baseball next year and makes them love the game,” Rasmussen said.

Rasmussen said the support from the com-munity has played an essential role for all of the local teams. “Ladysmith is a real

baseball town. We’re on the upswing, for sure. It’s getting better all the time.”

Horseshoe players will be looking to notch a few ringers to remem-ber a close friend.

T h e S t e w B a t t i e Memorial Horseshoe Tournament will be hosted at the horseshoe pits at Transfer Beach on July 30 to August 1.

V i n c e H e r k e l , Ladysmith Horseshoe Club member, said there will be a bench dedicated to Stew on the Sunday morning at 8:45 a.m.

The group, along with the Eagles, helped raise the $2,000 needed for the bench.“We are going to get

the Battie Family down there, we are going to get the Eagles down there because they were a big contributor,” said Herkel.

The tournament itself is a huge draw, Herkel noted, with around 100 competitors coming to Ladysmith from all over to try their toss at the Transfer Beach pits.

On the Saturday, the ladies play in the morn-ing and there are fun doubles in the after-noon. The men play all day Sunday and the mixed open competi-tion takes place on the Monday.“It makes it really

exciting, that one,” said Herkel.

To play in the tour-nament, you must be a member of the B.C. Horseshoe Association, except for the fun dou-bles.“Anybody can play on

the Saturday afternoon,” said Herkel. “We invite the public to join us and match them up with the really good players.”

The cost for the fun doubles is $5. People get $2 for every win.“It’s a lot of fun.”The club decided to

stretch the normally two-day tournament over three days.“It keeps people in

the community longer,” said Herkel.And Sunday night at

6 p.m., keep your din-ner plans open as the Eagles are hosting a steak dinner at the hall for $10.

Taylor IreneOctober 8, 1928- July 17, 2011

It is with heavy

hearts we relate

the passing of our

dear Mother, Sister,

Grandmother and

GG. Irene was born

in Saskatchewan

but spent her life

on the West Coast,

mainly in Ladysmith

where she raised her

family and was an

active member of

the community. She

was a member of

the Royal Canadian

Legion Branch

171 serving on the

executive and as Poppy chairman, lifetime member

and twice president of the Ladies Auxiliary. She

was a member of the Eagles Ladies Auxiliary. She

was the Secretary of the Ladysmith Senior Citizens

Housing Society for more than 30 years. She loved

to golf, to garden, loved the babies in her family

and loved the tiny hummingbirds that fl ocked to her

balcony.

Irene was predeceased by her beloved husband Jim

and her son Ken. She leaves her daughter Nancy

(Allen), son Phillip, grandchildren Michael, Tammy,

Sandy, Deidre, Jason, Geoffrey, Adam and Gregory;

great grandchildren Jordan, Mackenzie, Braydon,

Mariah, Hunter, Sophia, Seth, Olivia, Emerson and

Eric. She also leaves her sisters Isabelle, Yvonne and

Pat, plus many nieces and nephews. We will all miss

you forever and each of us will forever carry you

with us in our hearts.

Mass was celebrated at St. Mary’s Roman Catholic

Church, 1135 4th Avenue , Ladysmith, BC, on

Friday July 22, at 4:00 PM. Father Sean Flynn,

celebrant. In lieu of fl owers donations can be made

in her honour to the Royal Canadian Legion Poppy

Campaign or the Heart and Stroke Fund. Online

condolences may be offered at [email protected]

COLLEEN JOANNE POOLE

(nee Watson)

Jan. 16, 1951 - July 11, 2011

Colleen passed away after years of bravely struggling with health issues.

She was born and raised in Cumberland, moved to Ladysmith in 1979 with her husband Rob and their 2 children. In 1998 Colleen and Rob moved to Nanaimo where they have resided for the past 13 years.

She is survived by her loving husband of 40 years, Rob; daughter Kristi (Carl) Dashwood; son Ryan; granddaughters (her special angels) Jordyn and Kayla; sister Noelle (Tony) Piket; brother Ray (Annette) Watson. She also leaves behind many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins; Rob’s mom, Marg Poole and family; and her special sisters “The Crazy Eights”.

There will be no service at Colleen’s request. A private family Celebration of Life will take place at a later date. In lieu of fl owers, a donation may be made in her name to the charity of your choice.

Our son, Paul David McCallan,

22 years, has earned a

Bachelor of Business Administration Degree,

KINSMEN/BROWN DR. PLAYGROUND PROJECT HAS SET UP A FUNDRAISING ACCOUNT at the Junction Bottle Depot, on Ludlow Rd. in Ladysmith. People can take all their empty bottles, juice containers, pop or beer cans, etc (anything you can get a refund for) to the bottle depot and they will credit the funds to the proposed playground at Kin Park in Ladysmith. The name of the account is the "Kin Park Playground" and all we ask is that if folks take their returns to the Junction Bottle Depot they just tell the staff that they wish to put the money into the Kin Park Playground account.
