Ladysmith’s biggest party of the summer will be moving back to its original time slot on the August long week-end.

After careful con-sideration and plenty of community feed-back, the Ladysmith Celebrations Society has decided to change the date for next year’s function, says chairper-son Barry Frech.“People are asking

constantly why not the long weekend — there’s no reason why not to,” he said. “I know it will work bet-ter for people.”

Though attendance numbers seemed down this year, there was plenty of fun to be had from Coronation Mall and Transfer Beach to First Avenue and Aggie Field all weekend long during Ladysmith Days.“Everything went right

for Ladysmith Days, including the weather,” said Coun. Steve Arnett.

The Ladysmith Days festivities offered the usual brand of family fun — bouncy castles, pancake breakfast , parade, carnival-style treats and pony rides

— as well as a few new additions to the roster.

The Ladysmith Has Talent competition had few entries but enthu-siastic participants. Competitors sang and danced their hearts out to an enthusiastic crowd at the Ladysmith library parking lot.

Home Owners helping homeowners

There will be plenty of fine vehicles and 50s-style fun during the Ladysmith Annual Show and Shine and Rod Run Aug. 17 and 18. Here, the Harbour City Roller Derby Girls are ready to rock and roll the Rod Run with A&W owner Jason Kelland. Niomi PearsoN/ChroNiCle

More than 200 cars coming to Saturday Show and Shine

It’s time to get your engines revving for the ninth annual Ladysmith Show and Shine.

This Saturday (Aug. 18), more than 200 shined and souped-up cars will line First Avenue for a visual feast of metal, chrome, fibreglass and rubber.“It’s getting bigger every year,” says show chairman Ron Howe.

“It should be a good year.”The Show and Shine is open

to all makes and models of cars and motorcycles and will offer its usual brand of family fun, including a kids’ play area and entertainment by Fred Wortley.“We’ve got vendors showing up, a lot of different makes and models of cars, some real cus-tom pieces,” Howe said. “It’s a good family atmosphere.”

There will be four People’s Choice Awards and one Participant’s Choice Award given out at the show, and this year, there will be trophies in the motorcycle category as well.

As in previous years, partial proceeds from the event will be given to the Ladysmith Food Bank. About $1,500 was

donated in 2011.And for the third year in a

row, there will be a Rod Run the night before the show, Fri., Aug. 17.

There were approximately 50 cars at last year’s Rod Run, and organizers are hoping for much more this year.

It is being held at a new loca-tion, the Ladysmith A&W on

the Trans-Canada Highway at Oyster Sto-Lo Road.

Owner Jason Kelland and Rod Run co-ordinator Tammy Leslie have been working on providing a fun-filled evening of classic cars.“We will be fully staffed and ready to rock and roll,” said

Kelland. “We’re hoping people will come back to our location after the run.”

On-site festivities include a performance by Flashback Freddy, an appearance by the Harbour City Roller Derby Girls, vendors, prize draws and more.VI Performance Magazine

will also be on the grounds taking photographs, Kelland said.

The fun gets started at 5:30 p.m. and the run will depart at 7 p.m. sharp.

The route will start and end at the Ladysmith A&W, run through Ladysmith on First Avenue through to Dogwood Drive, then down Davis Road to Chemainus Road and return via the Chemainus Road round-about. The trip is estimated to take about 45 minutes.

Due to limited space, the Ladysmith Show and Shine is capped at 250 cars. According to Howe, last year’s event was so popular, cars had to be turned away at the event. Registration begins at 9 a.m. on First Avenue and High Street and costs $15.

For advance registration information, visit http://mem-bers.shaw.ca/ladysmithsns or call 250-619-2387.

The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 191 in Chemainus sus-tained substantial damage when a break-in occurred over the August long weekend.

The break-in was reported to the RCMP, and a forensic examination was conducted. Further investiga-tion is now underway.

Substantial damage was caused by forcing open doors, disabling the Legion’s security system, breaking into the safe, removing the pull tab machine and other miscellaneous items, according to a press release from the Legion.“It is unfortunate that the people

involved in this occurrence would target a Legion when the members and staff are trying so hard to keep this veterans’ club a vital commu-nity participant,” said Chemainus Legion president Mike Beggs. “This Legion has donated thousands of dollars and hundreds of volunteer hours assisting seniors, youth groups and other community groups through our meat draws, bingo and poppy campaigns. Ultimately, the cost is to the com-munity this Legion supports.”

If anyone has any information about the break-in, they are asked to contact the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP at 250-745-5522 or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Planning for 2013 beginsfirst place. In the adult category, Riley Van Damme, 19, took first place with his original song, Shadows, which he performed accom-panied by guitar.

The Ladysmith Has Royalty competition, a new addi t ion to the celebrations, had four local dads per-forming all kinds of embarrassing stunts to win the royal treat-ment for their families. After having to strut the stage to LMFAO, lip-sync to Carly Rae Jepson, shift a cookie from his forehead to his mouth and stack plastic cups, Christos Bourodemos was the lucky winner.

L a d y s m i t h Celebrations Society d i r e c t o r M e l o d y Smythies said the event was a complete suc-cess, and they will be looking to incorporate it next year as well.“Once they had their

crowns on, the family wore them all week-end,” she said. “They were just right into it.”

The Odds rocked the Ladysmith amphi-theatre, along with numerous other talent-

ed artists, like Skellig, and Jayden Holman. Emceeing the enter-tainment was Cathleen McMahon, who did an amazing job of keeping the crowd’s attention between acts.Arnett said he was

most impressed by resi-dents and volunteers who went above and beyond when glitches arose. His example was a last-minute hand-made Citizen of the Year sign put together by employees of the Ladysmith and District Credit Union for the lead parade car.“In the end, it was

about people pu l l -ing together,” he said.

“It is typical of this town, and that’s what Ladysmith Days is all about.”

Smythies added that the Town of Ladysmith did an exceptional job of the major clean up following the event.

Planning for next year is already in the works, kicking off with a meet-ing next Tues., Aug. 21.

To get involved with Ladysmith Days, e-mail [email protected].

Though there were two new floats this

year, numbers have been steadily declin-ing for the Ladysmith Days Kinsmen parade. This year’s parade ran a little behind schedule but was attended by hundreds of enthusias-tic residents.“I don’t know what we

can do to pick that up,” Frech said. “Hopefully, people will start to get interested in it again.”

Frech said the com-mittee will be working

“awful hard” to get the logger sports back for 2013. Due to a schedul-ing conflict, the show w a s n o t a v a i l a b l e this year. Instead, the entertainment trailer was moved from its previous location at the Kinsmen Hut to the amphitheatre.“People are saying

that’s the only place to hold the music; it’s such a beautiful set-ting,” Frech said.

Frech said he would like to get something started at the old train station down near the Waterfront Art Gallery.“Thank you to every-

one that showed up to take in Ladysmith Days; it was good to see so many people down there,” he added.

Carol Wagenaar shows off the plans for the new Oyster Bay Quay commercial development on Oyster Bay Drive. The building is being raised this Friday morning.

NIOMI PEARSON/CHRONICLE

Oyster Bay Quay developers raising the roof this week

Developers of Ladysmith’s newest commercial develop-ment project are planning to “raise the roof” later this week.

Oyster Bay Quay — a two-level, 32,000-square-foot building zoned for light industrial use — has been pieced together through tilt-up construction and is ready for assembly.

Developer Carol Wagenaar says things have been mov-ing at record pace since the groundbreaking in May, and the project is right on track for a Spring 2013 opening.“The gateway to Ladysmith is what we’re creating here

— we’re taking an industrial piece of property that’s not very attractive and we’re building on the develop-ment that’s happening on the water side of our com-munity,” said Wagenaar, who is heading the project with her husband Garry. “It’s

exciting because it’s going to be something very beautiful that will get people stopping in our town.”

The building, at 1030 Oyster Bay Dr., is being built in two phases — once the first half (Phase 1) is fully leased, the construction of the second half will begin.

Level 1 of the building will be accessed from the harbour side and has been designed for a mix of light industrial and retail uses. Level 2, accessed from the Trans-Canada Highway side, has been designed with office, retail or restaurant purposes in mind.

Wagenaar said a small per-centage of Phase 1 space has been leased, but she could not disclose which business-es would be moving in.“We’re working hard on our marketing plan and making contacts with potential ten-ants,” she said. “We’re look-ing to bring new businesses to Ladysmith.”

She added that they are

also welcoming current Ladysmith businesses who want to consider optional, more modern and customiz-able space. With an approx-imate 24,000 cars passing through per day (from a 2008 study), the building also offers high visibility.“Ladysmith is a beautiful heritage town — not every business can operate in a heritage-type building,” said Wagenaar.

Other possible uses for the space include medical and dental offices, financial services and wood product manufacturing.“This would be a great

opportunity to create more of a building centre for cab-inets, countertops, decorat-ing, being in such close prox-imity to Home Hardware,” Wagenaar said.

The crane will be arriving Thursday afternoon for the raising of the building, but Wagenaar suggested that anyone wanting to check out the building raising should

do so Friday morning.“It’s going to be really excit-ing to watch the panels being tilted up,” she said.

“The building will actually be obvious to people at that point.”

Concrete contractor Chris Truckle of CTT Pioneer Industries explained that tilt-up construction employs concrete casting in its meth-od. All of a building’s fun-damentals, such as walls, columns and structural sup-ports are formed horizontal-ly on a concrete slab. Then a crane is brought in to raise the pieces to a standing posi-tion and braced while the roof is put on.“This is faster, maybe a lit-tle more expensive, but you have a finished product once the panels are stood up,” he said. “It’s a stronger build-ing; you could wood frame this building, but it wouldn’t be the same.”

First joint economic development meeting hailed as positive step

It was only the first meeting, but a recent joint meeting between Ladysmith council, the Ladysmith Downtown Business Association and the Ladysmith Chamber of Commerce is being hailed as a positive step on the path to finding solutions for eco-nomic development in the community.

Town council and the direc-tors from the Ladysmith D o w n t o w n B u s i n e s s Association (LDBA) and the Chamber of Commerce met July 24 to brainstorm about economic development. The groups agreed to hold more meetings and to invite other parties to participate. “It was kind of a first of two

or three meetings for develop-ing ideas, brainstorming items of economic development in Ladysmith,” said Chamber of Commerce presi-dent Rob Waters. “All three groups that were present are concerned about the economic health of our community.”

Waters feels the meeting, which was facilitated by city manager Ruth Malli, was a step in the right direction.“Any meeting that brings the three organizations together is a positive step,” he said. “We’re all concerned about the economic welfare of our community. The fact that there are vacant store-fronts is concerning, but we are not the only community experiencing that. “ T h e r e a r e s o m e g o o d news stories coming out of Ladysmith as well, such as the potential new brew pub that is going through approvals.”After Mayor Rob Hutchins

spoke about the major com-munity initiatives currently underway or planned for Ladysmith, the representa-tives from the LDBA and the Chamber of Commerce par-ticipated in brainstorming ses-sions and generated ideas and suggestions for what a strong Ladysmith economy would look like.

Some of these suggestions for what would be included in a successful Ladysmith econ-omy include: an RV park, good jobs that can support a fam-

ily, niche markets, a defined identity, a strong waterfront community, sports tourism, transportation, a hotel, jobs for young people, restaurants that stay open past 9 p.m., and a policy and regulatory envi-ronment that encourages a sustainable economy.When asked to identify

things that are being done right in Ladysmith, partici-pants mentioned success in acquiring grant funding, the Festival of Lights, heritage buildings downtown, a strong community, a council that is committed to the communi-ty, and groups collaborating together for the same purpose, among others.

Waters felt good coming out of the meeting.“I was, as president of the

Chamber of Commerce, con-cerned about what short-term measures we can jointly develop that can assist our community,” he said, noting

the three organizations have already worked together on the 10 Per Cent Shift cam-paign to encourage residents to shift 10 per cent of their current spending to local busi-nesses. “I’m certainly looking forward to the next session.”

LDBA president Lesley Parent says the association’s directors generally felt the meeting was a positive step as well.“I have to say it was very posi-tive,” she said. “We’re looking forward to working with the Town and the Chamber of Commerce to come up with solutions. We definitely left [the meeting] feeling hope-ful and positive because we all believe in our town and that we want to see it pros-per. There are businesses that have been in Ladysmith for 30-plus years, and those businesses are still here and there’s a reason for that.”

Parent hopes this meeting and the subsequent meetings that are proposed will help

strengthen ties between the organizations.“I think for us, it would lead to a closer working relation-ship with the Town and the Chamber because we all want the same thing,” she said. “I think communication between us, the Town and the Chamber is a real step forward and a positive.”

The LDBA wants all busi-nesses in Ladysmith to thrive, not just those that are down-town, emphasized Parent.“Everything affects the whole business community,” she said. “We also have quite a few associate members who aren’t in the downtown core, so it’s Ladysmith as a whole.”

The three groups commit-ted to having followup meet-ings, and they would like to bring some other players to the table, such as key sectors that may not have been rep-resented at the initial meeting and representatives from the

Stz’uminus First Nation.Hutchins says they

hope to hold their next meeting either the last week of August or the first week of September.“I guess the outcome ideally is collective action by the various agencies or entities to ensure we have the best practices and the best supports in place to ensure the

viability of small and large business in our community,” said Hutchins. “That includes everything to ensure we have the appropriate mentorship for new businesses to help provide for their success, and to ensure our community is the most attractive place it can be in terms of sprucing up First Avenue — we’re look-ing at incentives for façade improvements.“The business core is the liv-ing room of our community

— it’s where we celebrate together, where we break bread together and where we parade, so it’s a vital core of a healthy community.”

Hutchins thought the meet-ing was very important.“Everybody around the table

was wanting to roll up their sleeves and commit the time to establish priorities for mov-ing forward,” he said. “We have a solid foundation, and we just have to make sure we continue to strengthen that foundation.”

Bill Drysdale receives his Citizen of the Year Award Saturday morning during Ladysmith Days.

Niomi PearsoN/ChroNiCle

Bill Drysdale named Citizen of the Year

Ladysmith’s 2012-13 Citizen of the Year is Bill Drysdale.

The announcement was made Saturday morning, shortly before the Ladysmith Days parade. Doug Bell of the Ladysmith Maritime Society, last year’s winner, said he was pleased to introduce this year’s recipient.“Bill’s enthusiastic leadership and

endless energy enables him to con-tribute so much to our communi-ty,” he said. “He’s very passionate about Ladysmith and contributes an enormous amount of time and energy to all aspects.”

The Citizen of the Year Award is a time-honoured Ladysmith tradition. The award is presented for out-standing voluntary, unpaid commu-nity service over a period of time. Past recipients include Jim Cram, Kit Willmot and the Ladysmith and District Credit Union.

Drysdale is a retired Air Force Warrant Officer with 28 years of service. He is heavily involved with the Ladysmith Search and Rescue, Festival of Lights, Maritime Festival and Health Care Auxiliary.

According to Coun. Steve Arnett, who was overseeing the presen-tation on behalf of Mayor Rob Hutchins, Drysdale was an instru-mental part of the playground project at Brown Drive Kin Park, as well as the renovations at the Ladysmith Museum, and Light Up.“He does all that kind of work that

you don’t see behind the scenes,”

he said.Arnett said Drysdale is best

known for driving around in his half-ton truck with a bed full of tools — ladders, wheelbarrows, shovels and more.“Wherever there’s a need to do something he’s out there; he’s like a Cub Scout — always prepared to help,” he said.Arnett admitted it was a bit of a

challenge to get Drysdale to the presentation, with it being a confi-dential vote and because Drysdale usually helps out with the parade. He said he was able to persuade him to stick around by asking him to help him present the award.“There was probably nobody more surprised than he was,” he said.After accepting the award and a

framed Ladysmith print, Drysdale exclaimed just how surprised he was.“It doesn’t fit with my 20-year plan

of all the things I want to do to help Ladysmith — I figured I might be at the end of my 20 years, or so [by the time I received it],” he said.

Drysdale said it is a pleasure to serve the town.

He said he and his wife decided to move here after an afternoon sitting in the Printingdun Beanery having some coffee.“My wife said ‘I could live here; this feels like home,’ so we moved here and we never looked back. This is an amazing town filled with amazing volunteers,” he said.

“They do what they can to make this town better, and I think we’re pretty successful at that.”

Saying no to smart meters

Local residents opposed to smart meters utilized by BC Hydro were out on First Avenue in Ladysmith on Wed., Aug. 8 to protest the installation and operation of smart meters in Ladysmith. The residents say their issues with the meters include cost, health, privacy and safety. They are also concerned about the loss of jobs for meter readers. Another protest will be held this Wednesday (Aug. 15) from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the intersection at 1020 First Ave. There will be extra signs and banners for those who need them.

Here’s a summer scene being played out all over North America.

Family van pulls up to the corner store to stock up on a few camping essen-tials: pop, chips, hot dogs, a case of beer and a bottle of vodka.

Not in B.C. you say? It happens every day at rural agency liquor stores around the province. As with many other issues, there is one reality for urban B.C. and another for the rest of us. Selling booze in grocery stores would presumably create anarchy in B.C cit-ies and towns, but villagers and their visitors somehow manage it, just as every-one does across the line in Washington or Alaska.

These rural agency stores are “flyspeck operators,” sniffs an acquaintance who spent his career as a union activist in government liquor stores. Picture dusty old bottles on a rickety shelf, greedy owners and poorly-trained clerks more

likely to sell to underage drinkers.

Similar generalizations can be heard about the hundreds of private liquor stores that have popped up around B.C. since they were legalized.

And, in fact, there have been more violations in pri-vate stores, revealed in sting operations run by liquor inspectors. In the year ended March 31, 54 private stores were caught selling to a minor, for an 84-per-cent compliance rate. Only four government stores were caught, a pass rate of 96 per cent. Five rural agency stores were tested, and one flunked.

But here is the telling statis-tic. In 2010, the government allowed liquor inspectors to employ actual minors to test stores. Previously, they hired people who looked young but were old enough to buy alcohol, As late as 2009, two out of three stores (government or otherwise) sold to them. Problem is, that’s not an actual offence. Now, liquor inspectors send in undercover teens, and

relieve them of the evidence when they are allowed to buy booze. The watchdog now has teeth, and compli-ance has jumped.

The government glossed over the poorer perfor-mance of private stores. But in fairness, three times as many private stores as government ones were tar-geted in the new inspec-tions, and the gap is nar-row. Government stores also have a huge built-in financial advantage in their wholesale rate and are gen-erally overstaffed by private sector standards.

The B.C. Liberals also moved this spring to make rural agency stores easier to establish. Regulation chang-es brought the minimum population served from 300 down to 200 and eliminated a vague requirement for a “bona fide community” to exist around the store.

Meanwhile, the big booze story this year is cabinet minister Rich Coleman’s plan to sell B.C.’s warehouse and distribution monop-oly to a private contrac-tor. The B.C. Government

Employees’ Union has pro-tested, despite assurances that their jobs will contin-ue. B.C.’s burgeoning craft beer industry has looked to Alberta’s all-private model and predicts higher costs.

The B.C. Liberal govern-ment has been on the defen-sive from the start, with the NDP pointing to the paper trail of lobbyists with an apparent inside track. It’s great politics, but it mat-ters little to consumers in an increasingly competitive but heavily taxed business.

Another new regulation took effect this summer, cre-ating a $525 fine for adults serving minors, on the job, at home or as a bootlegger. Parents who provide booze for their own underage chil-dren are exempted.

If the issue really is pub-lic safety and teen binge drinking, the key job for government is to regulate sales effectively. Once that is done, no justification remains for government liquor sales.

I was so excited to experience my first Ladysmith Days this past weekend, and it sure didn’t disap-point.

Congratulations and thank you to all the volun-teers who worked tirelessly to make sure this annu-

al celebration was fun for the whole family and for the whole community. I know the Ladysmith Celebrations Society is a small group, but they’re a very dedicated group, and they sure know how to throw a party.

I had a great time wandering along First Avenue, watch-ing the parade, listening to the live music, oohing and aahing over the fireworks show and listening to the laughter around me as children ran around and friends found each other in the crowds.

This year’s theme for Ladysmith Days was “Ladysmith Has It All,” and, looking around First Avenue on Saturday or walking around Transfer Beach on Sunday, it sure seemed like it. We are truly lucky to live where we live and be surounded by great people, and Ladysmith Days felt like a real celebration of that.

Sure, it sounds like people missed having the logger sports, and maybe some people thought the parade could have been longer, but there were many opportunities for local singers to share their talents, many activities to keep children entertained and lots of reasons to spend time in Ladysmith.

One thing we’ve heard people say is they wish Ladysmith Days had stuck to the August long weekend, and it was announced during this year’s event that the 2013 Ladysmith Days celebrations will be be moving back to the long weekend. Lots of people seem excited to hear this, and this seems like a great way to bring fam-ily and friends from elsewhere to Ladysmith to discover everything this community has to offer.

Editor:

On behalf of the family of the late Jaedyn Amann, Paul Amann and Tara Hicks would like to extend heartfelt gratitude and thanks to the many gracious and caring people who put in so much time and energy to plan and assist with the amazing fundraisers held recently in Ladysmith, as well as the local businesses for contribut-ing their services in order to help Jaedyn’s family.

The support has been tremen-dously appreciated.

The list of people to thank goes on and on, and for that reason, the family gratefully acknowledges the wonderful support you have shown them over the past few weeks.

Ladysmith is a very special place, and Jaedyn too would have been so proud to see the love and support you have all given during this time.

Thank you.

Last Wednesday, a small group of us held signs up in downtown Ladysmith for the noon hour in protest of the smart meters.

We had a great response. Those downtown at that time would have heard the honking of cars passing by.

Ninety-nine per cent of the peo-ple I spoke to are opposed to the smart meters, either upset that they have to lock them up and put refusal signs on them, or outraged that the meters were installed on their houses before they had any information on them. They want them removed.

There are so many issues around

these wireless meters, from fires which BC Hydro is hand-ing responsibility for over to the home owner, to privacy and health issues, and let’s not forget the rate hikes.

People, we need to voice our opinions.

Keep on writing to your MLA and other politicians, register at www.stopsmartmeters.ca and come and join us to protest at noon hour this Wed., Aug. 15 at the Aggie Hall/49th Parallel Grocery inter-section

On behalf of Bikers for Autism, we would like to thank the 49th Parallel Grocery for allowing us use of their parking lot for our

recent raffle.We would also like to thank the

Hawley Place B&B, Steve Marshall Ford and Bastion Law Group for donating raffle prizes.

At the writing of this note, we are on Day 11 of our 39-day, cross-Canada trip to raise funds for autism.

If you missed us but would like to donate, you can do so online at http://bikersforautism.tumblr.com, or donations can be dropped off at Bastion Law Group at 410A First Ave. in Ladysmith.

Editor:

I have been reading for the past few weeks about Jaedyn and her family. It seems to me that now

that all of the events and fundrais-ers have passed, it must be hard for the family, and I was wonder-ing if it would be possible for the Town to dedicate the planting of a tree at either Aggie Field or Forrest Field.

I think it would be a lovely tribute to a beautiful young girl and remind us to always keep our kids safe within the Town of Ladysmith.

On another note, Ladysmith Days seemed to be a little less attended this year, and I was very happy to be made aware that the event will be heading back to the August long weekend in 2013! Very good news!

I’ll be letting all of my friends and family know that they can plan to come to Ladysmith again for a long weekend of festivities and family fun!

Linda Brown sent us this photo of the Wilrose Whoop-Up, the second annual attempt to get all of the neigh-bours out on the cul-de-sac to enjoy the weather and get to know their neighbours on a personal basis. The people who live on Wilrose Place raised $100 for the Ladysmith Food Bank, and they are hoping to raise more money next year and challenge other cul-de-sacs to raise more money for the food bank than they do.

One-man show written in Chemainus part of fringe fest

Chemainus singer and comedian Nick Schols has been work-ing on his one-man show A Wooden Shoe

in Canada for the last year, and this week, he will debut it during the Fringetastic Fringe Festival in Nanaimo.

From Aug. 16-26, eight theatre companies from across North America descend on downtown Nanaimo to perform at the Port Theatre and the Vancouver Island Conference Centre for the second annual fringe theatre event.A Wooden Shoe in

Canada is the musical story of a Dutch immi-grant as he moves to Canada.

Schols — who is known as Nick the Entertainer — is excit-ed to debut the show at the second annual

Fringetastic, which starts this Thursday and runs until Aug. 26 in downtown Nanaimo.

Schols has participat-ed in fringe festivals in Victoria before but not since the late 1990s and early 2000s.“I would like to get

back into it,” he said. “I really enjoy fringe festivals.”

Schols is an immi-grant from Holland, and he thought it might be interesting to cre-ate a show about mov-ing to a new country and about how it isn’t always easy to get used to new surroundings and new ways.“It is a story about

coming to Canada and finding out what are the differences,” he said. “It is a combina-tion of songs, standup comedy and characters, so it’s a variety.”

One difference he has noticed is Canadians’

obsession with hockey. That comes through in A Wooden Shoe In

Canada , as Schols sings a song he wrote called The Holy Puck. “I think that’s a dif-

ference in religions between Holland and Canada — hockey is Canada’s only true reli-gion, I believe,” said Schols.

S c h o l s c a m e t o Canada in 1975, land-ing first in Ontario. Schols came to B.C. in 1987, and he moved to Chemainus in 2010. He had performed here in 2000 in The Sound of

Music, and that’s when he fell in love with Chemainus.

Schols has been per-forming for more than 40 years as an actor and a director. He had a the-atre group in Victoria called the Nicolodeon Players, which he had started while living in Ontario, and he has

won awards as a direc-tor for The Diary of

Anne Frank and The

Melville Boys.A Wooden Shoe in

Canada is a combi-nation of all-original songs and monologues. Schols wrote the one-man show during the past year.“I hope [audiences]

get out of it an hour of fun, an hour of pleasant entertainment,” he said.

“I hope they leave and feel better.”

Schols “absolutely loves” performing a one-man show, where he gets to do a little bit of everything.“I haven’t done it for

a while,” he said. “I’ve done standup comedy, but I love this because it’s more of a show.”

During Fringetastic, this year’s performing companies will be trav-elling from as far away as New York, Ontario,

Alberta and Washington State, and many will b e c o m i n g f r o m Vancouver Island. The types of performance range from one-person musical storytelling to a self-described “the-atre of chaos” involv-ing eight performers and a technician busy enough to count as the ninth performer.

New to Fringetastic t h i s y e a r i s t h e Fringehub. Starting this Wednesday (Aug. 15) with the Preview Show, the Port Theatre will dedicate its lobby to hosting a variety of fringe events from 7- 9 p.m. each night.

The Preview Show features “sampler” per-formances from each Fringetastic participant and gives audiences a chance to get the inside scoop before the festi-

val starts on Thursday. In addition to live per-formances each night, the Fringehub wil l also host a chalkboard where audiences can leave their own reviews, and of course it is the main ticket centre.

This Wednesday to Sunday Only!

T h e L a d y s m i t h Resources Centre Association (LRCA) prepares to welcome Kings Without to its Concerts in the Park series.

Kings Without will play in Ladysmith this Sunday (Aug. 19) at the Transfer Beach Amphitheatre. They

may be rockers, but the band is family friendly, and the open venue guarantees a good spot to watch.

Kings Without origi-nated in Nanaimo but plays primarily out of Tofino. They are the house band for the prestigious Clayoquot Wilderness Resort, which is locat-ed just outside of the oceanside town. After

building a loyal fol-lowing on the Island, Kings Without began to branch out to the mainland.

Their career took off from there. They toured Canada and attracted the atten-tion of music lovers and music producers. The highlight of their career, so far, has been playing backup to music superstar

Sarah McLachlan. The band enjoys live

performances and claim they are the more exciting band on the Island — and the busiest! Having performed multiple times, Kings Without is comfortable play-ing at any venue and for any audience.

T h e L R C A w e l -comes everyone to attend Kings Without

performance this Sunday, starting at 6 p.m.

The amphitheatre in the park hosts a beau-tiful venue, which has a great view of the harbour. It is the per-fect place to take a picnic and experience why Kings Without is such a popular band. Admiss ion i s by

donation, and the money goes back to the LRCA so they can continue to orga-nize great community events.

To learn more about Kings Without, visit www.kingswithout.com.

SportsChronicle

After a first-place fin-ish at the Vancouver Island Zones at the end of July, the Ladysmith Cannons Mosquito AA team has finished its season in fourth place.

Their final matches were played out at provincials in Surrey dur ing the August long weekend. Facing 30-plus-degree weather, the Cannons managed to pull off three wins and three losses over the weekend.“They had a good shot

at second and third, but we just kind of ran out of pitchers by the end of the weekend,” said coach Brian Reiber. “We passed a certain point where we couldn’t com-pete with the mainland teams, but they’re still fourth out of 10 in the entire province — that’s pretty good.”

Reiber said the team, made up of 10- and 11-year-olds, has had a short but fantastic sea-son.“These kids were all

on di f ferent house teams, so it’s a very short time for them to come together and get to know each other’s strengths, weaknesses and styles,” he said.

“They all got an opportu-nity to play at a higher level than they would in house ball and learn some new skills.”

Reiber added that the coaches have had a great experience as well.“We had an opportu-nity to work with some keen young boys and girls,” he said.

Cannons blast into fourth at provincials

After an entire regular season and a best-of-three final, only one run separated the champi-ons from the runners-up.

The Wheatsheaf fastball club defeated Palladian Developments 8-7 Aug. 2 at May Richards Bennett Pioneer Park to win the Nanaimo Senior Men’s Fastball League title.

The finale was worthy of a championship game, as both teams needed to compete hard until the final out. Wheatsheaf scored six runs in the first inning and built a margin that proved too much for Palladian to overcome.“It’s important in any

game, but in the big games it’s especially important to get up early on them,” said Chris McCormick, Wheatsheaf player. “We just hit the ball hard.”

Blake Hunter, another Wheatsheaf player, said after his team lost Game 2 in extra innings, it made sure to be “ready and amped up” for the rubber match. It showed in that big first inning.“When you do stuff like

that, it kind of brings the other team down and brings the energy level up on your side,” Hunter said.

But Palladian nearly had a comeback in them.“It was tough,” Hunter said. “They’ve done it to us all year; every game, we ’ve gone up and they’ve seemed to find a way to claw back.”

The Wheat ies wi l l compete in the Western Canadian champion-ships later this month, but in the meantime, they’ll enjoy this victory.“It’s the first one we’ve

got as this group so it means a lot to all of us,” McCormick said.

Lee Lucas was the winning pitcher and helped his own cause at the plate with a hit, a walk and a stolen base. Hunter had a hit, a walk and three RBIs and McCormick hit a two-RBI double.

For Palladian, Mike Peters suffered the loss on the mound but led his team’s offence with a home run, a double and a walk. Steve Wallace hit two doubles.

Wheatsheaf won Game 1 by a 9-3 score and Palladian took Game 2 in extra innings, 7-6.

In a unique turn of events, a married couple will cruise Vancouver Island as part of the Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock.

Const. Dorothy Junio, the Oak Bay police school resource officer, will tackle the Tour de Rock alongside husband Const. Jett Junio of Saanich police.

They are the first married couple to take part in the Canadian Cancer Society fundraiser.

“You only get to do it once and to do it together …,” Dorothy

began. “It’s a unique opportunity for sure,” Jett

finished. “We have the luxury of debriefing everything we do from work to riding because we’re on the same page.”

They also share in fundraising responsibilities and aside from police work, in a local business as well. Jett returns to the Saanich police ranks in January after an 18-month leave to run Riders Cycles, a bicycle business on Cloverdale Avenue that the couple purchased a year ago.

The Junios came to Victoria four years ago after long careers with the Edmonton

rooted in Edmonton. The Island-wide ride, Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock, developed from those events in the mid-1990s.

“We knew the event (in Edmonton) was raising funds for kids with cancer, but the magnitude didn’t hit us until we got here,” Jett said.

“The fever we didn’t feel until we got to the Island,” Dorothy added. “The whole Island embracing it is amazing.”

With their kids, Adam and Ethan hitting 16 and 17 this year, they felt an opportunity to make a commitment to the cause. Plus it’s a year of milestones for the pair; both turned 50, celebrated 25 years of policing and it’s the 15th year of the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock.

Then there’s the illness itself. Dorothy’s mom developed cancer (she’s faring well right now), and suddenly they saw it throughout their peers.

“It became a big deal,” Dorothy said. The biggest hurdles won’t be the

kilometres-long hills or rainy days spent on a bike.

“It’s going to be the emotions,” Dorothy said. “You sometimes have to battle that along with the physical.”

As for the highs, just participating and seeing people dig deep to give is already providing those.

“The ride itself is secondary” Jett said

Barbra Dianne Cargill (nee Vink)April 28, 1958 - July 31st, 2012

It is with immeasurable sadness that we announce the passing of a unique and amazing

partner, mother and friend. Barb was born in New Westminster, B.C. but spent a large portion of her life in Nanaimo;

and the past six years in Yellow Point with her spouse and best friend, James Bastian.

While in Nanaimo, she raised three children, Blake (Sally), Camille (James) and Charlotte.

Predeceased by her father Dave in 2003, Barb is also survived by her mother Ruth,

sister Darlene (Stan), brothers David, Jay and Robert (Kim), ‘stepkids’ Kyla (Shawn) and Janna

as well as nephews Pavel, Nigel and Aidan. Also missing ‘Bubba’ will be grandchildren

Jordan, Calob and Eli.

Barb will be remembered for a lot of great qualities, but especially for her easily brought on laughter, which entered a room before she did.

She brought a new meaning to the word ‘courage’ in her battle with cancer and died peacefully at

home with Jamie by her side and the ocean in her view. Many thanks to; Dr. Hart, the doctors and

staff at N.R.G.H. Emergency, Naturopathic Dr.’s McKinney, O’Neil and

Yim and the homecare nursing staff.

Special thanks to special friends Glynis and Diane, who helped her through her final days and

made her feel like a lady again, and to Richard and Sandi; who’s support has been immense.

Celebration of life to be announced, in lieu of flowers, a donation to B.C. Children’s

Hospital would be appreciated.
