E-Cigarettes banned at high schools Concerns raised that smokeless cigarettes could be used as ‘delivery devices’ for alcohol, drugs Craig Spence THE CHRONICLE

Students at Ladysmith Secondary School are being told to leave their e-cigarettes at home, or risk having them confiscated Principal Steve Thompson confirmed in an interview with the Chronicle. “Our job every day is the care and safety of Christine and Alan Vincent will be among the avid gardeners opening their grounds to visitors during the 18th Annual Garden Tour our students,” he said, put on by the Ladysmith Rotary Club May 31.

be restricting use of the devices. At Chemainus Secondary School e-cigarettes had already been banned. Vice Principal Mike Martin said they are treated the same way as any tobacco product “and as such there’s a bylaw that prohibits the use of tobacco products on school property.” Both schools will take the same steps if a student is caught with an e-cigarette on or around school grounds: the device will be confiscated and returned to a parent of the student. Use of e-cigarettes has not been permitted inside schools, but to date not all schools have taken the step of an outright ban on possession of the devices while at or around a school. Uncertainty over what the devices can be used for has led to the tightening of restrictions. “They’re more of a delivery device,” Thompson said. “Not only do they deliver nicotine see E-Cigarettes page 3

News Cedar Busing plans en route for 2015-2016 school year

North Cowichan ‘Better Off’ campaign The Better Off North Cowichan campaign is underway, an initiative aimed at improving the energy efficiency of homes in the region, helping residents save money and reducing the community’s greenhouse gas emissions. For a limited time North Cowichan residents can pick up free energy and water conservation kits, which include a high-efficiency showerhead and two faucet aerators – one for the kitchen and another for a bathroom. To participate, just be one of the first 75 homeowners or renters to bring your old fixtures into the municipal hall at 7030 Trans Canada Highway in exchange for one of the free kits. For more information about the program, and notification of energy conservation workshops and other upcoming initiatives aimed at reducing energy consumption and GHG emissions, sign up at www.northcowichan.ca/subscribe.

Farmers’ Markets in Ladysmith, Chemainus The Ladysmith Farmers Market sets up at Transfer Beach Tuesdays from 1 to 5 p.m. starting June 2 and running through to Sept 8. Organized by the Ladysmith Chamber of Commerce, the market offers a ‘homespun guarantee. “Vendors must make, bake or grow the products they are selling. Complete knowledge of the product and creation process is required,” say the rules. The Chemainus Wednesday Market is also gearing up for an exciting summer. Starting May 20 and running clear through to Sept. 23, with the exception of July 1, the vendors are in place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Organizers are challenging Valley residents to take a spin to Chemainus for the chance to purchase something that’s both unique and locally made.

Ladysmith Maritime Heritage Society at 30 Craig Spence THE CHRONICLE

The Ladysmith Maritime Society celebrated its 30th anniversary Thursday, inviting members and well-wishers to a soiree at the Welcome Centre at the community marina. And there’s more to come. On May 30 a diorama of the ‘Long Wharf’, where coal from Ladysmith’s Extension Mine was loaded onto ships from 1899 to 1931, will be unveiled. LMS President Betty Pearson said preserving the harbour’s history is important. “The history of Ladysmith for the last 150 years has been with the harbour,” she said, noting that in one way or another coal mining, forestry and fishing all relied on the area’s access to the sea. The maritime society started out with a dif-

ferent name and purpose in 1985. Then it was called The Tall Ship Society, and it’s goal was to build a tall ship for Expo 86, the World’s Exposition on Transportation and Communication held in Vancouver. Tall ships turned out to be a tall order – none was ever built. But the society, under a new name, has survived and thrived. From its origins as an organization with a ‘few hundred dollars in the bank’ it has become a major part of Ladysmith’s tourism and cultural scene with a $700,000 budget. Pearson puts it all down to the dozens of people who support the LMS. “It’s all due to the many volunteers we’ve had over the decades,” she said. Unveiling of the Long Wharf diorama takes place at 1 p.m., May 30, at the Harbour Heritage Centre. Everyone is welcome to attend.

Work converting Cedar Secondary School to an elementary stopped in January, with the job half done, now the task of reopening it as a high school in September, 2016 is underway, including meetings with school staff and the community in June, July and August. In the meantime many secondary students in the Cedar and Cinnabar Valley area are making plans to get to Ladysmith Secondary to attend classes during the 2015-2016 school year. Nanaimo-Ladysmith School District’s Director of Planning and Operations Pete Sabo updated the district’s Business Committee May 13 on bussing plans from the Cedar area to Ladysmith Secondary. To receive bus service students have to: live in Woodbank/North Cedar Intermediate or Cinnabar Valley catchment areas; and must register for the service. In early May, Cedar and Cinnabar Valley area students and parents received a letter from the district offering two options for the coming year – they could choose to attend John Barsby Community School in Nanaimo or Ladysmith Secondary. Once responses have been compiled, the district will create a draft bus route for students who have chosen Ladysmith. Then, after consultation with LSS, the Transportation department will develop a final bus route plan, which will be available on the district website at sd68.bc.ca next month.

Keith Turner at his 107th birthday last year. Keith Turner, believed to have been the oldest person on Vancouver Island, passed away Thursday morning just two weeks after celebrating his 108th birthday. A resident of La Rosa Gardens in Ladysmith, Turner was born in Manitoba in 1907. He moved to Saskatchewan at the age of five and then to B.C. in 1929 to work in Anyox, north of Prince Rupert. Feisty right up to the end, when asked at his 107th birthday celebration how he approaches each and every day, he said, “It depends what happens the night before.” He never professed to have a ‘secret’ for his longevity. Information about memorial and funeral arrangements is not yet available.

Carol-Ann Rolls, Page 7

“crime is really a community problem, not just a policing problem”

he first thing I heard this morning was... nothing. Let me rephrase that, the first thing I heard was ‘the sound of silence,’ to date myself with an old Simon and Garfunkel reference. Perhaps that’s not such an astonishing statement for those of you who have lived in the Ladysmith-Chemainus area for any length of time. But for me – as an emigre from Victoria, and before that Vancouver, and long before that Montreal – it comes as something of a revelation. I’ve been a city dweller all my life, and – by way of confession – my wife and I gravitated to the Cowichan Valley as economic refugees. Affordability was a big factor in our decision to move. I can happily report, though, that it won’t be affordability that keeps us here, it will be community and environment. Almost from the moment we arrived, we have felt at home. The people are friendly, the scenery gorgeous (especially for one who loves paddling), the weather ideal. Without getting carried away, I’ll say a superlative more emphatic than ‘nice’ is needed to describe Ladysmith-Chemainus. But back to the silence: when you can hear silence, it’s real. And the chatter of birds only makes it more so, as do leaves rustling, dogs barking, all the sounds it backdrops. It becomes a sort of tablet your day gets written on. Then to step out your front door and see a doe and two fawns grazing on your neighbour’s lawn – and remember the hoot-owl that has summoned every evening since you moved in – those become aspects of the tableau. I hope you won’t find it presumptuous of a newcomer to point out some of the amazing things about the community and environment we live in. I also hope you will recommend places to go, things to do and people to see that will only increase my delight for this, our chosen home.

B.C. goes long with LNG bid

BC Views

by Tom Fletcher VICTORIA – Opposition politicians were outraged over the B.C. government’s latest effort to secure its first major liquefied natural gas deal, announced last week. Premier Christy Clark, Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman and Finance Minister Mike de Jong signed agreements with Pacific Northwest LNG for a long-term gas royalty structure that could run for 30 years. The government says the deal guarantees minimum royalty revenue for the province, while the investors increase their revenue if the spread between gas prices in North America and Asia increases during the term. Pacific Northwest is a partnership of some of the biggest investors and gas customers:

Malaysian state giant Petronas, its Canadian subsidiary Progress Energy, Chinese state firm Sinopec, Indian Oil Corp. and Japan Petroleum. These corporate giants will review a project development agreement, and if they approve, Clark will convene the legislature to approve changes that would compensate them if the new LNG income tax increases. Environmental changes such as a “discriminatory” carbon tax increase or greenhouse gas regulations on LNG would also trigger compensation. Future changes to general carbon tax or corporate income tax rates would not. NDP leader John Horgan warned that “too much lolly” is being offered, with no word of job guarantees for B.C. or a deal with First Nations at the proposed site near Prince Rupert. “My biggest concern is that we’re tying the hands of future governments because a desperate government made commitments that they over-promised on and now they want to get a deal at any cost,” Horgan said. Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver called it “shocking and irresponsible,” repeating his pre-

voting on a $1 billion share of LNG proceeds over 40 years. The vote was a resounding no, despite a redesign that put pipelines on a suspension bridge over the most sensitive salmon habitat. Culbert suggests that given some time to examine environmental mitigation work, that answer may change. Does aboriginal title offer a veto over projects like this? According to the recent Supreme Court of Canada decision on the Tsilhqot’in case, the short answer is no. Objections could be overridden if governments determine a project is in the interest of the greater public. Talks have taken place with 19 First Nations affected by pipelines and facilities, and 14 have agreed. While they continue with Lax Kw’alaams and other Tsimshian Nations on the coast, it’s worth recalling that others are not so reluctant. The Nisga’a Nation has identified four sites as suitable for LNG terminals with a shorter pipeline route to the coast than Prince Rupert. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press newspapers.

diction that the global market is swimming in gas and will never support huge green-field projects across B.C. For the investors, it’s like a mortgage. There are “subjects” to be removed before the deal closes, and this is a proposed $36 billion mortgage for pipelines, LNG processing and shipping facilities. This isn’t just a political dispute. For example, Progress has drilled about 500 gas wells in northeastern B.C., and Petronas took it over with this development in mind. Without exports, B.C.’s whole gas industry is looking at a bleak future of low prices and demand. Petronas delayed its investment decision to this year and cited exactly these concerns, certainty on taxation and royalties beyond the election cycle. With that in hand, their obstacles remain federal environmental approval and a revenue sharing deal with a First Nation to host a terminal. Pacific Northwest CEO Michael Culbert notes that answers to questions posed by the Lax Kw’alaams First Nation were submitted to federal regulators only days before they started

Craig Spence the chronicle

If you’re a business person or homeowner who doesn’t think it’s necessary to pay much attention to security matters around your premises, a word of advice: You better believe the B&E artists, shoplifters and vandals are out there doing their security checks. That was the message Carol-Ann Rolls, Executive Director at Cowichan Region Community Policing and Crime Prevention, delivered to a group of business people gathered at the Best Western Chemainus Inn May 19. Just how lackadaisical can people get when it comes to protecting themselves against and reporting property crimes. Rolls tells the story of an experiment in Surrey, where police played the role of shoplifters, pinching merchandize from under store owners noses. The project had to be discontinued after a couple of weeks because they quickly ran out of room to store the goods. The most blatant ‘theft’ occurred when two officers walked out of a store with a canoe and were not challenged. While the story drew some laughs, Rolls made it clear that vigilance when it comes to property crime prevention has to be a community mindset; and if a community lets the ‘bad guys’ get away with it, the whole neighbourhood suffers. “The costs are really beyond the direct costs to the businesses,” she said. Thieves and vandals are shrewd when it comes to casing neighbourhoods. If they sense there are easy targets, they’ll be back for more. If, on the other hand, they know a neighbourhood is serious about shutting them out, they’ll go someplace else. ‘Neighbourhood’ is the operative word in the equation. In a real sense the battle’s already lost if you have to dial 911. “The police can’t do it on their own, crime is really a community problem, not just a policing problem,” Rolls said. She described a ‘triangle of crime’ that consists of: desire, ability and opportunity. If a robber wants to steal something, and has the ability, and is given the opportunity, he’ll go for it. “The only thing we can do is lessen the opportunity,” Rolls said. “If we take one side of the triangle away, crime doesn’t happen.” CPTED is an acronym everyone in a community from the mayor on down should have top of mind when it comes to stopping crime. It stands for Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design. High hedges and fences that block views to your property provide great cover for thieves; unlit alleys and unlocked doors and windows are invitations; valuable merchandize sitting in shop windows is a temptation. Rolls distributed a Cowichan Community Policing business security check list that includes dozens of measures that can be taken to deter theft and vandalism. Cowichan Community Policing also produces a Business Watch brochure. Call 250-701-9145 for information, or go to www.warmlandcops.com

The Boys and Girls Clubs of Central Vancouver Island would like to invite everyone to attend our Annual General Meeting.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 6:30 pm, Tuesday, June 23, 2015 Technician Lisa Burness demonstrates the new x-ray machine at Ladysmith District General Hospital to hospital auxiliary President Irene Telford.

It’s pretty easy to understand the latest gift the Ladysmith Hospital Auxiliary has given our hospital. It’s the sort of present that people can see right through. Our bad puns may not put a smile on your face, but the new digital reader the auxiliary donated to the hospital’s x-ray department should. It certainly has Lisa Burness grinning. Burness, a tech at LDGH, has been enjoying the new Fuji Film Console Advance unit, and the fact that it is bringing patients and medical staff, clearer, sharper images more quickly than ever before. The $65,162 unit, plus new imaging plates, were bought and donated to the hospital by the auxiliary with money raised through the hospital auxiliary thrift store. “It just blows my mind, it really does,” Burness said. “We’re so grateful to them, because the old reader was on its last legs. We want to say a very big thank you to them.” The Ladysmith x-ray unit is open to the public Monday to Friday, serving patients from as far away as Duncan and Nanaimo. No appointment necessary.

Living wage calculated You can’t live on $17 an hour. Not in Ladysmith. Social Planning Cowichan has released the living wage for this part of the world, and it amounts to $17.55 an hour. The organization calculated the wage based on what a family consisting of two parents and two children would need to adequately cover their monthly expenses without taking on debt, working multiple jobs or relying on assistance while living in the local region. It takes into account the cost of housing, food, clothing, transportation, childcare, and health care. This year’s rate has gone up 50 cents from the rate calculated last year.

stately ease to it, of environment as art. But it’s taken vision, time and dedication to achieve that sense of casual harmony. “We had loads and loads of soil brought in to create this,” Christine said, touring the grounds. Hardscaping – that is stone ponds, patios, pathways and stairs – defines separate spaces on the grounds. But the overall vision was anything but hardscaped. “It was a very loose vision,” Christine recalled, “and the vision changes as the plants grow.” There’s a give-and-take, a symbiosis, that makes gardening a lifelong experience. “As much as you’re shaping a garden, it’s shaping me,” Christine said. To which Alan added, “It feeds the soul.” That’s why it’s hard to characterize what they do as a hobby. Throughout the year, the Vincents will gravitate to different zones in their pocket paradise. In the height of summer, they can escape the heat in a vine drapped colonade on the northern side of their house; come dinner time, they can head down to the vegetable garden, which keeps kale and chard on their table even in winter; almost anwhere they go, they are soothed by the burble of running water. “There’s space to move in a garden setting,” Alan said. “A garden shouldn’t be what you see from a window, it should be walked through all the time.” You are invited to see for yourself what he means.

Get your velocipede oiled, shiny and ready to go. May 25 to 29 is Bike to Work Week, and there will be lots of activities for cyclists in the Cowichan Valley. One of the most popular will be the morning Celebration Stations, where riders can enter their names for prizes and catch a snack before heading off to work. Also back by popular demand will be the Bike to Work team competition. A highlight of the week will be Bike Expo, May 27 at the Aquatic Centre on James Street in Duncan. It will feature numerous exhibitors including bike shops, bicycle manufacturers, cycling clubs, the RCMP Bike Patrol and other groups that promote cycling in the Valley. “Cycle Cowichan is excited to promote what the Valley has to offer,” said Event Coordinator Alex Haddad. “Whether it’s commuting, mountain-biking, road racing or recreational riding, Cowichan has it all.” Prizes, mechanical support and refreshments will be available to people attending Bike Expo. Plus Cycle Cowichan members will be ready to answer any questions or direct visitors who are interested in more cycling opportunities. For cycling safety tips and general information have a look at the Bike Sense Manual which can be found at bikesense.bc.ca. You can find more event information at cyclecowichan.ca

Chemainus BIA approved The Chemainus Business Improvement Area is expected to continue. North Cowichan council voted May 6 to adopt the CBIA bylaw, covering the next three years. That enables the municipality to collect money on behalf of the Chemainus BIA, which will use those funds to promote businesses in Chemainus.

• Advisory Design Panel - reviews proposals for the design of multi-family residential, commercial and industrial projects. A background in urban design, planning, development or landscape architecture would be useful. • Parks, Recreation and Culture Commission - considers matters referred by Council pertaining to parks, recreational and cultural needs of the community. • Heritage Revitalization Advisory Commission - considers matters relating to façade improvements or signage in the downtown core as referred by Council, as well as administers heritage and revitalization projects undertaken by the Town. • Board of Variance - considers minor variances from the City’s Zoning Bylaw. Applications to the Board are generally made by homeowners or developers when compliance with a minor aspect of the Town’s Zoning Bylaw would cause “hardship” to the applicant.

Citizen Advisory Commissions play a key role in shaping our community. You can get an application form at City Hall or the Frank Jameson Community Centre, or online at http://www.ladysmith.ca/city-hall/public-advisory-commissions-committees.

Out if the 127 dancers in her category she got short listed for another scholarship class with the 12-13 year olds. Kayla didn’t get a scholarship in the end.

Stewart, Elizabeth â€œHopeâ€? (nee Alderwood) September 25, 1922 â€“ May 16, 2015, peacefully in her sleep at Selkirk Place, Victoria, BC. If any one single person had brought the spark of life and open-armed love and acceptance to so many, it was Hope Stewart. Hope was predeceased by her husband, James Herbert â€œJockâ€? Stewart. She was the daughter of an Archdeacon of the Anglican church, a city girl. Jock was a big strapping country boy. They were the perfect balance. Hope came into this world with much to say and do. At 4 years of age she was referred to as the â€œloud speakerâ€? by her family. Whether in church work, teaching or holding forth at family gatherings she loved gathering people around to hear what she had to say, give advice, or thoughtfully listen to their troubles. But mostly, she just loved to give hugs and kisses and smiles and request a little more wine to enjoy such times. You wouldnâ€™t ďŹ nd Mum in a ďŹ tness studio or out ďŹ shing. With 7 children - Christopher (Betty), Vivienne (Claire), Roderick, Lisa (Peter), Beverley (Vincent), Laurie (Tom) and Julie (Terry) - being a dedicated teacher and doing so much for the church, who would have time for those activities? Hopeâ€™s surviving sisters are Kay Paget, Ruth Perry and Fay Sutherland. Hope has now joined her other siblings: Mary, Jean and Phil. Hope wanted each of her children to have as long a childhood as possible. She and Jock knew how to have fun. They traveled together to numerous countries and made friends wherever they went. France, Australia and New Zealand were all very dear to her, especially Provence, her red wine and bright yellow sunďŹ‚owers! One thing Mum advised us, when you felt glum, just smile and hold it until you feel better. Hope came from a big loving and close family. She kept the whole family connected through letters, cards, phone calls and organizing gatherings - this helped keep the love woven among all of us. Hope is now with her â€œdear Jockâ€? once again. She was 92 and knew she had a blessed life. Mum, weâ€™ll love you forever. Hopeâ€™s Celebration of Life was held Saturday, May 23, 2015 at 10:00 a.m., at First Memorial Funeral Home, 4725 Falaise Drive, Victoria, BC. There will be a small 2nd service at LaRosa, 10:30-11:30 a.m. on May 31

Gordon Thomas Cargill January 10, 1941 - May 23, 2015 After a courageous battle with heart disease, Gordon Cargill passed away peacefully in his sleep with his loving wife Beverley by his side. He is also survived by his sons Warren and Wes (Keri) and grandson Thomas. Gordon was born and raised in southern Alberta, including Foremost and Lethbridge. After marrying Bev in 1966, they raised their family in Calgary, and later in the Cochrane area, where Gordon once again enjoyed getting back to his farming roots.

Gordon was a man who a knew a lot about everything, which he put to good use after he and retired to Ladysmith, establishing a local handy BookBev yours man business â€œGordie-On-The-Goâ€?. Gordon also by Phone generously volunteered his time with the Ladysmith Festival of Lights, Citizens On Patrol, and at the Bush Creek Hatchery.

EMPLOYEE

OF THE

MONTH

Santa Cruz

Organic Lemonade

DUNCAN’S 49TH PARALLEL Jordan has been part of the 49th for almost three years now and in that time has moved from part time grocery clerk to Produce Manager. Working hard from day one, he showed his work ethic as a capable and responsible grocery clerk. It is in Produce however that his true talent started to shine. Walk through Jordan’s Produce department and you will see how fresh his veggies look, how crisp his fruit is and how the whole department seems to “pop” out of the cooler. Product presentation is one of Jordan’s strengths to be certain, another would definitely be his outgoing, friendly personality. Add in his ability to make a genuine connection with people he meets and you have a blend of attributes that the 49th and our customers truly value.
