Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!Those are the last words anyone
wants to hear, or even worse, to have to shout into a marine radio. But it’s good to know when the call is broad-cast, there’s somebody close at hand, ready to respond at a moment’s no-tice.
If you’re ever in trouble off Ladysmith, the volunteers for Royal Canadian Ma-rine Search & Rescue Station 29 will likely be the first people you’ll see speeding your way in their rigid hulled inflatable.
To make sure they’re ready as they can be for anything, a contingent of Ladysmith’s SAR members, includ-ing Daren Forster and Station Master Karen Bowen, attended a large scale exercise May 23 and 24 near Gibsons.
SAR teams from up and down the coast converged to join in a series of exercises that involved rescues on the water, on land and from the air. They left better prepared to deal with the real thing.
Forster said the meticulously staged enactments gave him an unforgettable sense of what it will be like, if and when he is called on to respond to an emergency. “I’ve been on the water most of my life as a recreational sailor, but as a job I’m a food broker,” he said.“All the scenarios were so realistic, and everything was happening so fast! It was all designed to have our training kick in.”
Emergency responders have to main-tain discipline and carry out their specific roles and tasks in situations where everyone else is panicking, and where priorities can change in an in-stant. They have to act as a team.
Real life enactments are a crucial – and exciting – part of their training. “To us, because it’s so realistic and it all happens so fast, we have to con-trol our adrenaline,” Forster explained.
“The more realistic the scenario, the better the training.”
Bowen, who played the role of a vic-tim in the exercise, said all the stops were pulled to make it real. “The make-up was amazing. The people from the movie industry in Vancouver – they volunteered their time to do it.”
So intense was the experience, she said “some of the guys, their hands were shaking” when they were con-fronted with the scenes they had to deal with.
Her group enacted a shore exercise. Seven campers were on a beach when a propane tank exploded. It took over an hour for the makeup artists to recreate

Service providers are trying to determine why children in Ladysmith are not faring better on the Early Development Instrument, a study conducted in kindergartens province-wide that projects students’ readiness for success in school.“It’s quite a validated and quite a useful tool,” said Dr. Paul Hasselback, medical health offi-cer with the Vancouver Island Health Authority.
“The students who are vulnerable on the EDI score tend to have problems later on.”
The latest EDI results, which can be pinpoint-ed to specific regions, show that children in the Ladysmith area are not performing as well as expected. Socioeconomic data for Ladysmith would normally lead to better results on the EDI score.“I do think that within the Ladysmith region there should be some concern,” Hasselback said.
The higher the rating on the EDI, the more children are vulnerable. Provincially EDI rat-ings average out at 30 percent; Ladysmith’s number is 40 percent. The best areas of the province achieve scores of 20 percent.“What we’ve seen for Ladysmith specifically, is that this EDI score has continued to increase over time, and just over 40 percent of students are vulnerable,” Hasselback said.
Typically a high EDI score is associated with regions where there are also higher rates of poverty, more single income families, and more people on social assistance.
High EDI ratings are usually reflected in lower graduation rates, fewer students moving on to post secondary education, and reduced chances of ‘future wellbeing.’
What’s puzzling service providers is that La-dysmith’s socioeconomic indicators are not in line with the area’s EDI results.“Ladysmith is actually much closer to the rest
of the province or the Island when it comes to socioeconomic indicators,” Hasselback said.
“Normally these are fairly closely aligned.See Early Development page 5

Jan Mattews avoids the word ‘owner’ when talking about her relationship to animals: you can be a guardian, a com-panion, a friend, but the moment you call yourself an owner, you shut out a huge part of the joy hu-mans and animals are capable of sharing.As an ‘animal com-
municator’ she be-lieves the bond be-tween us and animals can be much richer and deeper than most humans allow; she knows, too, that a lot of people would con-sider her views crazy at best; heretical at worst. She accepts that.“I would never try to convince some-body that this is the right way, never, ever, ever,” she said of her belief system. But for anyone who wants to listen – whether they walk on two legs of four – Matthews is prepared to teach how to better get in touch across the spe-cies divide.“My main purpose is to bridge the gap be-tween the animal and the human guardian,” she said.
You don’t do that by adopting a bad dog approach. “A lot of people come to an animal communicator and say ‘Fix my dog,’ but it’s not that sim-ple,” Matthews will explain. “Most people focus on what they don’t want instead of what they do.”
Deep down, dog and cat lovers – not to men-tion lovers of horses, goats, geese, and even wild creatures – want a deeper relationship with their animal com-panions than we can put into the lingo of ‘come,’ ‘sit,’ and ‘heal.’
They want a meaning-ful relationship; they want to be loved in re-turn.
You can command obedience, even loy-alty, but you can’t command love.
For Matthews healthy relationships with ani-mals begin the same way healthy human relationships do: first you get to know each other; then maybe you start to like the person you’re getting to know; and if all that goes well, you will open up to the kind of trust that comes with love. But it all begins with getting-to-know-you.“I like to have at least
one question for the animal we’re working with,” Matthews says of her animal commu-nications practice.
That doesn’t mean she starts out by ask-ing ‘How was your day?’ to her animal clients. Animals – and, arguably humans – don’t communicate at the deepest level us-ing words.At a reactive dog
clinic in Chemainus, which Matthews par-ticipates in with other specialists, the ef-fectiveness of treat-ing pets respectfully
– almost as persons – seems obvious. “To see the shift in these
dogs in an afternoon is absolutely phenom-enal,” she said. That’s because people are learning better how to relate to their dogs through: communica-tions, Heart Math, Body Talk and Emotional Freedom Technique…
Yoga isn’t on the program yet, but you get a sense Matthews would smile indul-gently, and accept a little ribbing, if asked.
Fact is, it’s the peo-ple as much as their pets that are being focused on. “We’re fo-cussing on the people; change their energy and the animal’s en-ergy will change too,” she explained. “We’ve seen it in the clinic. It can be minutes, it can be hours, it can be weeks.”
Her relationship with animals goes beyond what most would consider rational or possible. “I actually put the animal in my heart centre, and talk to it,” she said. “Ani-mals have souls and they can communi-cate in ways that most people don’t know.”
She believes this ability to connect goes beyond the here and now. Matthews said she can commu-nicate with animals that have died – she helps people who are either grieving over the loss of a pet, or who face the difficult decision of having a pet put down – and that she can commu-nicate remotely.
Closer to home, at the reactive dog clinic, when she gets own-ers to suspend judge-ment and ask a ques-tion, almost all of them say their pets respond.“All but one said they got an an-swer. I know we can do it, and I would encourage people to open up to that.”As for the skeptics,
Matthews thinks they lose out by not com-muning more closely with their animal friends. “If the belief system is that you can’t get an answer, then you won’t,” she said.
But that doesn’t mean your best friends aren’t trying.

Students help seniors, learn job skills
Students on the hunt for summer jobs, who also want to give seniors a helping hand will want to check out the Ladysmith Resources Centre’s Students Helping Seniors Program.
Coordinator Sophia Elliott said the pro-gram is a win-win for students. “Yes, they are being financially compensated,” she explained, “but they’re also learning employ-ment skills.”
For many of the youth who participate in the program it’s their first working experience. They learn basic resumé writing and what to expect in a job interview. The program is flexible, allowing students as much or as little work as they need.
To be eligible students must be between 14 and 18 years old and live in the Ladysmith area. They can expect to help seniors with things like: household tasks, mowing lawns, storage or moving, small paint-ing jobs, weeding and pet care.
Seniors who want to participate must be at least 55 years old, provide necessary tools and equipment for jobs expected of their stu-dent helpers, live in the Ladysmith area, and be able to provide supervi-sion.
For more information contact Sophia Elliott at 250-245-3079 or shs.lrca2015@gmail.com

A Saltair woman who raises chickens and sells eggs to her neighbours is concerned a public hearing set of June 15 may be the first step toward tighter enforce-ment of what she calls an ‘outdat-ed’ bylaw, limiting to 12 the num-ber of birds owners can keep on Suburban Residential properties without a permit.
But Cowichan Valley Regional District Manager of Development Services Rob Conway said the public hearing is being held to al-low for exemptions in the form of ‘temporary use permits’ for resi-dents of Area G (Saltair / Gulf Is-lands) from Bylaw 2500.
“We manage quite well here. We’ve never had any complaints and we have lots of support,” said Eileen Record, who characterizes the farm-gate egg sales she and her husband have been offering the community for four years as a recreational hobby.“My concern is the regional dis-trict will see some kind of a cash-grab in this and will try to enforce an outdated bylaw,” Record said.
Under Bylaw 2500 residents in
R2 Zones are allowed to have up to 12 chickens without a permit. To keep more birds – up to 99 – they are supposed to apply for a permit, which costs $1,000 for the first year and $350 every year thereafter.“Nobody would be able to pro-duce any chickens aside from the 12,” she predicted, if the ex-isting bylaw is strictly enforced.
“Nobody’s making any money off chicken eggs.”
The public hearing is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. at the Saltair Community Centre.
Conway said the meeting has been called because another Area G resident has asked for permis-sion to have more birds than By-law 2500 allows without having to pay for a permit.“We’re now at the stage where
we need to bring it to the public through this hearing,” he said. If temporary use permits are al-lowed, they would be made avail-able to anyone in Area G who applies for one and has their appli-cation approved by the CVRD.
The change would not apply outside Area G. “At this point the issue is only being brought up in Saltair,” Conway said.

“It’s a signal to the area that there is something we want to do as a community.”“We’re working with
Dr. Hasselback to real-ly dig deep and deter-mine what is going on, because the resources are here,” said Jac-queline Neligan, ex-
ecutive director with Ladysmith Families and Friends.“Looking at the num-bers we’re just won-dering. There’s just a big question mark as to why things are the way they are.”
In June Hasselback will be speaking with Ladysmith Early Years Partnership represen-
tatives to compare notes and begin a con-versation on what the next steps should be.“Once we get a han-dle on that, we can use the expertise at the ta-ble, and see who else we could be connect-ing with in the com-munity to see how best we can support families,” Neligan said.
“We’re looking forward to that next stage.”
Neligan expressed con-fidence in the commu-nity’s ability to respond.
“We’re all rowing in the same direction to try and understand, and to come up with possible solutions.”

Early Development Indicators a puzzle
LSS Student wins $60,000scholarship
Madeline shred, a graduating student from Ladysmith Secondary, has won a $60,000 Schul-ich Leader scholarship.“I am pleased to inform you that Madeline Shred has received a tremendous honour by being named as a Schulich Leader for 2015,” Debra Ryckman announced in a media release.
Noting that the scholarship is awarded to 50 students each year, with each high school in the country able to nominate just one student, Ryckman added, “They have been likened to Canada’s version of the Rhodes Scholars.”
Shred certainly fits that description. As well as maintaining a Grade Point Average of 98.5% in her graduating year, she took two dual-credit courses at Vancouver Island University, one in Psychology and the other in Journalism, achieving an A+ and A- respectively.
She was also on the executive of the student council, as well as being: a peer tutor in Science 10; a grade 7-8 mentor; a candy striper at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital; and a member of the Mayor’s Advisory Council for youth.
Shred intends to continue her studies at Wa-terloo University, pursuing a degree in biomed-ical sciences and biochemistry.

Saltair residents asked to think about densityEditor:
On June 15th Saltair residents will be asked if they want to change their Official Community Plan to allow for greater housing density in a large lot south of Byron’s store. A development sign is posted on the property but ob-scured by dense bushes.
Residents should consider whether they support more areas in Saltair be-ing rezoned for denser housing and whether doing so in this case will cre-ate a precedent for neighbouring prop-erties, as well as possibly the back of the old school property, or further away.
In theory, the CVRD doesn’t support more small independent sewer sys-tems, so at what point will the CVRD consider building community sewer to support these developments?
Sewer is lovely, but it will come with greatly increased property taxes and an erosion of lot size restrictions. Do residents want to maintain the rural nature of Saltair or are we content to have it eroded away?
It doesn’t matter what your opinion is, come to the CVRD’s June 15th meet-ing at 7 p.m. at the old Mt. Brenton
School. Whatever is decided will be a game changer for Saltair!
Jane Walton, Saltair
Who is responsible for a harbour’s derelict boats?Editor:I am sure Bryan Livingstone is right when
he says that boats that are in use and regu-larly tended are not derelicts (Dogpatch an asset, Chronicle, June 2). But I think he would have to agree that many boats in our harbour are one step from being derelict.
There is nothing to prevent the owners leaving the boats floating in the harbour when they no longer want them. Sometimes these boats are left with fuel on board that will foul our waters when they eventually sink.
The owners may be legally responsible for the boats, but this is meaningless if we don’t know who the owners are.
Mr. Livingstone tells us that Transport Canada is responsible for derelicts. If it is so clear cut, why are we having a problem with derelicts? Isn’t the problem the usual one of one department passing the buck to another department, none of them willing to accept responsibility?

Many older folk, watch-ing the graduating class of Ladysmith Second-ary celebrate their final hours as students, might
not have been able to remember what it was like being so young, so excited.
Maturity brings its pleasures and re-wards, but often dulls the senses and – alas – dims hopes. The fully fledged adults mingling in the crowd could be excused for a few thoughts not entire-ly in sync with the vibrant moment, a few reflections on how the world has changed, how big its challenges are.
First, there’s the environment. Daily the burden of human activity weighs more heavily on the planet. Incremen-tally the temperature warms and our leaders seem either too short-sighted or ideologically blind to address the crisis.
Then there’s the burgeoning popula-tions of the developing world, demand-ing its share of the good things in life. The billions in China, India and Africa won’t let what they see as the privileged elite in North America and Europe retain a position of affluence forever.
Militant groups the world over are pre-pared to impose radical and restrictive ideologies. They are increasingly sophis-ticated in their methods, and are forcing the ‘free world’ to impose ever more per-vasive forms of surveillance and control on its citizens. Can freedom survive?
There’s no shortage of issues that might cause an older spirit to look wist-fully at the Class of 2015 and wonder what their prospects will be in the com-ing 50 years.
There’s two ways to shake your head: side to side, or up and down. Looking at the energy, enthusiasm and maturity of the students celebrating their day, we can only hope they will be able to negotiate their way through the difficult world they are inheriting.
We can only shake our heads in the af-firmative and say: Go for it! Because the continuing stream of bright spirits that are graduating into adulthood every year are the only hope we’ve got.
They are the future.

the injuries that – in real life – would happen in a flash.
In one of the exercises Forster participated in SAR members responded to a distress call from a pleasure boat that had run into a log boom. “We pulled up to the boat and it was just like real life,” he recalled. “We noticed right away there was a guy on board with a bottle of vodka in his hand.”
Check your anger. Focus on the job that needs doing.
Then the smoke machine below decks kicked in, and it became apparent that the boat was on fire. Notch up the urgency gauge by a factor of ten. Now the task becomes getting the drunken sailor and his victims off the boat quickly and pulling away safely.
Every move the SAR team made was observed and recorded. “At the end of it all we got back to
the dock and there’s our evaluator sitting there, and he’s got five pages of notes,” Forster said.
“We got a really high rating.”To be ready to help people in B.C. waters SAR
stations need some help themselves. They are funded almost entirely through grants and local donations, Bowen said. So next time you hear of a raffle or fund-raising event for Station 29, buy a ticket. It may be you they’ll have to rescue out there on the rough ocean.

Mirror, mirror...Three year old Kesler Perry and mom Karri take a look at the artwork of face-painter Cathy Arnett, who was part of the fun for crowds at the Ladysmith Community Marina dur-ing Kids Pirate Day, which was put on by the Ladysmith Maritime So-ciety Saturday. Although he had his doubts during the daubing, Kesler seemed pretty pleased with his new look in the end. Craig SpenCe

Local governments are ‘hamstrung’ in their abil-ity to respond to marine oil spills says the Geor-gia Strait Alliance.
The environmental group points to the response in Vancouver to a recent oil spill as evidence that
even ‘a small marine oil spill can produce havoc.’“Communication between response partners and all levels of government adversely im-pacted the City’s ability to respond to the spill quickly and efficiently,” said Madelaine Hatch of the Georgia Strait Alliance in an email.“If that can happen in a city the size of Van-
couver, how prepared are local coastal govern-ments and their communities in and around the Georgia Strait to deal with a spill?” the Al-liance asks.
Not very, is their answer, and something needs to be done about it, said Georgia Strait Alliance Executive Director Christianne Wil-helmson after a survey of local governments on their levels of preparedness.“Local governments need to recognize this fact and plan ahead. Even a small spill can have se-rious environmental and health impacts on a community,”Wilhelmson said. “Senior response partners need to ensure that local governments have a seat at the table, and the necessary resources in place to effectively play their part.”
However, all but one of the local governments who participated in the research reported lim-ited preparedness, or complete non-prepared-ness, in the event of a marine oil spill.“Local governments are challenged by poor
communication from senior spill response partners,” Wilhelmson said.
Emergency Program Coordinator for the Cowichan Valley Regional District Sybille Sanderson said the CVRD has a significant communications role to play in the event of an oil spill.“What we are responsible for is notifying the public, helping to get the media message out there and evacuating areas as necessary,” she explained.“Important messaging for the media to get out as soon as possible after a spill is for people to stay away from any contaminated areas as they are not safe and their presence can actu-ally do more harm than good.”
She said contingency plans are in place for working with other levels of government in the event of an oil spill.“Recent opportunities to exercise with these agencies have been very beneficial for building those relationships so that we can work effec-tively together,” Sanderson said.

Vancouver Island’s real estate market posted the strongest May sales figures since 2007, re-ports the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board, and indications are that conditions are nudging into ‘seller’s territory.’
In May, 527 single-family homes sold com-pared to 450 in April, with year-over-year sales up by nine per cent VIREB reports. Inventory levels have steadily declined over the last 12 months, with active listings down 10 percent from May, 2014.
VIREB President Jason Finlayson confirms that the continued slow-but-steady gains from 2007 point to a housing market that has sub-stantially recovered. Although the summer months are traditionally quieter, activity on the Island shows no signs of slowing down.“Despite healthy sales throughout our area,
we’ve been in balanced market conditions for some time now,” says Finlayson. “However, continually decreasing inventory levels and steady price increases could start to push us
into seller’s territory.”In May, the benchmark price for a single-
family home in the VIREB coverage area was $332,600, up approximately five per cent from 2014. Benchmark pricing tracks the value of a typical home in the reported area. The aver-age price of a single-family home was $363,195 compared to $345,895 in May 2014, an increase of five per cent.

Ladysmith council has voted down the idea of a shower-only fee at the Frank Jameson Commu-nity Centre.
Four concillors at the June 6 meeting agreed with a Parks, Recreation and Culture Depart-ment recommendation not to allow use of the centre for a shower fee that would have been half the $5.50 adult fee for full-use.
Councillors Carol Henderson, Cal Fradin, Joe Friesenhan and Duck Paterson agreed with the department recommendation. Mayor Aaron Stone along with Councillors Rob Hutchins and Steve Arnett voted against the recommendation, or in favour of allowing a shower-only fee.
The idea was first floated by former Coun. Jill Dashwood in January as a means of providing the homeless a place where they could shower.
Coun. Paterson confirmed during the meeting that discussions with the Ladysmith Resources Centre Association about using their facility for providing access to showers for the homeless are continuing.
Coun. Hutchins noted that both Nanaimo and North Cowichan offer show-only fees in some of their facilities

North Cowichan mu-nicipal forester Derrell Frank says if dryer then usual conditions con-tinue, the forest reserve may have to be declared
off-limits to the public.“We will assess the situ-ation in the middle of the week,” Frank said after a brush fire off Grace Road in the Crofton area, which is believed to have been started by an abandoned camp fire.
Members of the Chemainus and Crofton fire halls – as well as
other responders – kept that fire under control, but it could have been worse if the response had not been swift, Frank said.“They hit it really hard, really fast,” he said.
“They kept it a ground fire, rather than getting up in the crowns of the trees.”
Temperatures in the days before the fire were in the high 20s, with humidity in the 45 percent range.Anyone with infor-
mation about how the fire might have started should call the Municipality of North Cowichan at 250-746-3100.

NANCY ROBERTA MILLS It is with indescribable sadness that I must inform Southern Vancouver Island that: NANCY ROBERTA MILLS (born 02 May 1952) died at Cowichan District Hospital on March 7th, 2015 of an unsuspected, untreated cancer which she was unable to overcome with the resources she had available. She fought longer and harder than any of us knew or suspected and if we knew, we could have offered more and better support.
Nancy hated to bother anybody even when she needed help.
In school, Nancy was the shy, wimpy kid who the brats and bullies picked on, however it turns out she turned out better than all of them, because she grew up to be beautiful, intelligent, talented and KIND.
It was my good fortune to share forty years of events, places and friends with her, especially music, musicians and other exceptionally talented artistic people.
Nancy’s father, Clayton Mills was an marquetry perfectionist, an electronic technician and an appreciative organist. Nancy’s uncle, Don Kerr, was the local postmaster and a well-known musician and choir director. Nancy, Clayton, and Don, all possessed fine keyboard instruments, and in their honor it is proposed to present a free memorial keyboard concert which will be announced in the future.
All will be welcome, especially people with a connection to the “older” music of their youth and loves.
I would sincerely like to thank the many people who have offered me their condolences and support.
We have all lost a lovely lady, supporter, inspiration and friend. Robert Paul Spleiter Duncan, BC 11 May 2015
