Ladysmith man bringing gaming worlds togetherLindsay ChungTHE CHRONICLE

A Ladysmith man is bringing the building blocks medium and table-top gaming industry together for the first time — and hoping to bring families together in the process.

Darrin Root has created Steel Wheels, a tabletop collectable game for the hobby gaming industry that he believes has many unique advan-tages that set it apart.“It is the first game ever to use the

building blocks medium to build its game pieces, rather than the tradi-tional metal or plastic models that require glue, paint and advanced modeling skills,” he said. “It’s the industry’s first turn-based racing combat strategy game.”

Root says there are no dark themes, and this is a game that brings the whole family together and has been enjoyed by players aged six to 60. It is the first game to incorporate league and campaign play right in the game design and the first hob-by game with a co-operative game mode, according to Root.“We’re a big fan of ‘unplug and

play,’” said Root. “We want to get people off video games and into more family time. That’s why we made something appropriate for the whole family.”

The Steel Wheels journey started when Root and Alex Augello no-ticed there was no racing combat game in the hobby gaming industry. Most games were army-based, mov-ing men and vehicles around.

Root grew up in Ladysmith but moved to Alberta for work, and it is there that he was first exposed to the hobby gaming industry. He says he used to make models in Ladysmith, but once he got to Ed-monton, he was exposed to Games Workshop, best known for its table-top war games, which, he explains, are “build and play” instead of just

“build and look.”Root says he played a lot of games

that were more for adults because the rules are intense, and they are expensive.“They’re a little hard to get into,” he

said. “A friend said we should build on a game within the Games Work-shop framework. We first included ourselves within their umbrella, and it was a racing game because there wasn’t one. We basically made it for ourselves, but it caught on with dif-ferent gamers.”

When they approached Games Workshop about developing the game, they didn’t get far at all. But that didn’t discourage them, and they kept trying.“I moved back here and thought it

was still a niche that needed to be filled,” said Root.

Root says many hobby games are expensive because you need glue and paint and good models. It can be hard to get into and hard to teach kids on such an expensive model.“I thought it’s too bad there isn’t

a model that keeps together from friction, and Lego works like that,” said Root.

R e p r e s e n t a t i v e s from various pro-grams out of the Ladysmith Resources Centre Association (LRCA) showed up at city hall last Mon-day to vouch and give evidence of potential grant-in-aid allocation.

Ladysmith council is on the verge of allocat-ing its total $100,000 grant-in-aid budget to various organizations and programs around town.After a combined

total of $46,500 was requested from pro-grams run out of the LRCA, as well as $2,000 from the Ladysmith Food Bank, council asked for rep-resentatives from the programs to come out for the March 17 regu-lar meeting so council-lors could attain more information.

First up was Carla Sampson from Victim Services which has re-quested $12,500.“We provide a

24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week service to all victims of tragedy, trauma, car accidents, sexual assaults, any-thing,” said Sampson.

“We’re seen by the pub-lic as a continuation of the police service. A lot of what we do is on our own time. For ex-ample, we had a house fire a couple of weeks ago and we were there for 10 hours making sure everyone was okay. We’re very un-derfunded. About 60 per cent of the work we do is with Town of Ladysmith residents.”

Miaike Lammel from Family Support Servic-es spoke after Samp-son and is requesting $9,000.“I support children

aged six to 12. It’s a three-month service, and 92 per cent of my clients are located in Ladysmith,” said Lam-mel. “I have a wait list for my program of about six weeks. We provide intensive sup-port to families, im-proving relationships, family function and confidence. The pro-gram runs year-round.

In 2008, we had four families, 15 in 2012 and 13 in 2013.”

Lindsey Paaauwe runs the Youth at Risk program for 13- to 19-year-olds and also requested $9,000 from council.“We provide emotion-

al support and help people make positive choices,” she said.

“We get referrals from councillors at the high school. We deal with disorders in eating, peer aggression, anxi-ety and depression. We work on personal

goals on a one-to-one service. We serve 30 youth each year, and that can impact up to 200 families. Typically we’re supposed to have five to seven peo-ple on the case. Right now we have eight and three on the wait list.”

Tanya Reid from Ad-ventures in Early Lit-eracy runs a program called Parent Child Mother Goose.“We are a fun, cre-

ative, dynamic, inter-active program that works with three- to five-year-olds. We pro-

mote parent-child at-tachment, and classes begin by sitting in a circle and singing a welcome song. There’s a strong sense of com-munity in our program. We hope every child caregiver comes down with a case of inspira-tion for reading books,” said Reid.

The last LRCA speak-er was Dale Gisbourne from the Dad’s Group.“We have a drop-in on

Saturdays between 10 a.m. and 12 p.m. It’s been running for seven years,” he said. “Father

stability is becoming more important. It sees less children go-ing into crime later on in life.”

The LRCA has re-quested a $16,000 grant-in-aid for general programming.

Coun. Steve Arnett ended the night by saying “asking you all back isn’t about value for money. It’s about trying out at what level of proportion can we spread [grant-in-aids] into the community. We have a lineup that we can’t see the end of.”

Fire victims identified

The BC Coroners Service has confirmed the identities of the man and woman who died in a house fire March 8 in Ladysmith and is reporting that they were 56-year-old Herbert Charles Lainchbury and 46-year-old Becky Ann Lafontaine.

They were both residents of the Pictou Road home.

At about 3:30 a.m. on Saturday, March 8, a neighbour noticed flames coming from the home and called 911. When the fire department arrived, the structure was fully involved, and when the fire was extinguished, Lainchbury and Lafontaine were found to be deceased inside the building, according to the BC Coroners Service. The BC Coroners Service, RCMP and fire officials are continuing to investigate these deaths.

Results of Couverdon AAP being tallied

The results of an Alternative Approval Process (AAP) to determine if the public supports proceeding with the proposal submitted by Couverdon Real Estate/TimberWest to expand the Town boundaries to include approximately 700 hectares of land owned by Couverdon/TimberWest are expected to be known April 7.

The deadline for the submission of Elector Response Forms from eligible Town of Ladysmith electors was Friday, March 14, and the results of the AAP are currently being tabulated, according to the Town’s website.

It is anticipated that the corporate officer will provide a report to council about the results at the April 7 council meeting, which starts at 7 p.m. in the Ladysmith Council Chambers at 410 Esplanade.

Preliminary results of the AAP will be posted on the Town’s website at www.ladysmith.ca as soon as they become available.

Adventures in Early Literacy is one of the many programs that operates out of the Ladysmith Resources Centre Association (LRCA). The LRCA is requesting $46,500 in grants-in-aid from Ladysmith council, and representatives were at the Council Chambers last week to provide information about the services they offer. FILE PHOTO

Ladysmith council voted last Monday to add new policies to the town’s take on school planning after the recent uproar and pending change within School District 68.At the March 17 regular

council meeting at City Hall, a report came for-ward from Town staff out-lining various new poli-cies, which council voted to pass unanimously.

Key points include out-lining council’s “strong

objections” to the closure of École Davis Road Ele-mentary this June, as well as asking for consider-ation from SD68 on “lim-iting uses at École Davis Road in order to retain a potential school site at this location.”

Despite voting in favour of the report, Coun. Gord Horth wanted opposition to portables to be insert-ed into the report as he sees it as an easy option for SD68 to add the struc-tures to current schools to create more space for students.

“In terms of good use of public buildings, porta-bles are a bad statement,” said Horth. “School trust-ees are making decisions to add more portables. Why would we permit that? You never see them leave. Let’s make the school board make an in-vestment.”

Horth was referring to his hope of a new school for Ladysmith, and he was backed up by Coun. Bill Drysdale.“I support Councillor Horth. We need a perma-nent structure that pro-

vides persistence to the community,” said Drys-dale.

Coun. Glenda Patterson also agreed, but she fears if a new school is not built or made, without porta-bles being added to cur-rent Ladysmith schools, students in the town may have to look elsewhere due to lack of room.“I also agree with Coun-cillor Horth, but we may have to just accept the portables,” she said. “If we don’t go along with them, the kids may leave...”

Mayor Rob Hutchins doesn’t see portables as a bad thing.“They do leave, as I taught in a portable at Ladysmith Secondary when there were six of them and that went down to one,” said the mayor. “I also taught in a portable at Ladysmith Intermediate and was eventually moved inside.“If it wasn’t for the por-tables at Davis Road, the French Immersion pro-gram there would never have blossomed in our community. Portables can be a value.”


Council receives mixed reviews on snow plowsRoss ArmourTHE CHRONICLE

Ladysmith council has re-ceived mixed complaints via verbal communication about the work of snow plows in re-cent wintry weather.

Some residents have com-plained to council members of snow being left in designated parking spaces around town; whereas, many residents have also praised the work of the snow plows.At the March 17 Municipal

Services Committee meeting, Coun. Glenda Patterson insti-

gated a discussion on snow plows following feedback from the public.“I’ve had more than one com-plaint about the handicapped zones being blocked off with snow,” she said. “At one time, we used to take all the snow down to the beach. People have been saying as well that some of the curbs have been broken and that’s believed to have been done by the snow plows.”

City manager Ruth Malli stated that similar issues have been brought to City Hall, and views will be taken into con-

sideration.“There was a second snowfall

expected on one of the days so that’s why it wasn’t cleaned,” said Malli.

Mayor Rob Hutchins chose to look on the bright side.“I’ve received nothing but

accolades, and people can’t believe how quickly the snow plows get the work done,” he said. “There will always be people that complain”

Coun. Gord Horth agreed.“I work in Victoria and people

constantly ask me how our crews do it. They really are the best,” he said.

Staff WriterTHE CHRONICLE

Earth Hour is com-ing up this Saturday (March 29) from 8:30-9:30 p.m., and North Cowichan council is putting out a challenge.

Earth Hour is an annual global event hosted by the World Wildlife Fund and sup-ported by BC Hydro where people are en-

couraged to turn off their lights and un-necessary electronics and appliances for one hour to conserve as much power as pos-sible.

In 2013, North Cowichan residents and businesses saved 7.7 per cent electric-ity for the one-hour period. By compari-son, residents and businesses in Duncan

saved 7.8 per cent, and in Ladysmith, they saved 7.3 per cent. Co-mox and Courtenay saved almost 10 per cent.

In a press release, council asks if North Cowichan residents and businesses can im-prove their participa-tion for 2014.“I am confident that

the citizens of North Cowichan will respond

to this challenge” states Mayor Jon Lefe-bure. “As Earth Hour approaches, we all have an opportunity to acknowledge the need to reduce our energy consumption for the future of the planet. Let’s surpass our ener-gy reduction from last year and be vigilant in incorporating energy-saving habits into our daily lives.”

Root approached Lego, Mega Bloks and Hasbro with his idea, and an agent at Has-bro said it was the best idea he’d heard in 30 years.

Root says in devel-oping the game, they wanted to bring the building blocks medi-um and tabletop gam-ing world together. “We had to create ev-

erything from scratch — new rules, a new sto-ry and new characters,” he said. “We kept it bright — a lot of games are going darker be-cause they think dark equals maturity. We want it to be bright so everyone has a great time. We wanted it to be family-friendly so I can play with my kids. We wanted to be the first in many areas.

“We had a lot of re-ally good responses. Everyone who’s been available to participate in it has really loved it. One-third of our main characters are women, and that was actually a problem for some of the game develop-ers. I said ‘I’ve got two daughters, and we’re building a storyline; how can you not have a storyline with both genders?’”

Root launched a Kickstarter fundrais-ing campaign for Steel Wheels March 10. The money raised will cover building a lot of the initial runs for the already-approved sets, explained Root.“A lot of the sets will

be completed by then and can be sold in stores,” he said. “Once it’s out, it’s a reality. We

would love to update our artwork and have a really nice rulebook. We’re all volunteer — no one takes a wage. This helps keep costs down so [the money] can all go to the prod-uct.”

It’s been an eight-year journey to get to this point.“It’s been very hard,”

said Root. “There have been lots of uphill bat-tles. Many people told us no.”

Root says feedback has been great.“Every time people

have checked it out, they think it’s fantas-tic,” he said. “It’s a new use for the building blocks they have kick-ing around from their childhood.”

The Kickstarter cam-paign started March 10, and it will end April 9.

The Nanaimo-Lady-smith School District (SD68) will focus a majority of $2.6-mil-lion provincial grant on projects related to its 10-year facilities plan.

The school district business committee is recommending board approval of the 2014-15 annual facilities grant plan, which sees about $1.6 million going to related proj-ects. The district ear-marked $1 million for the conversion of Ce-dar Secondary School to an elementary.Another $1 million

is being projected for that project from the 2015-16 grant.

Pete Sabo, school district director of planning and opera-tions, said the Minis-try of Education con-firmed the amount March 14.

With some design and estimation work

already done, the cost of school conversion is currently estimated at $2 million.

The Ministry of Edu-cation classifies the conversion as a major capital project, as it is more than $1.5 million, explained Sabo.“Major capital proj-

ects are significant design challenges,” he said. “We’re not just renovating a bath-room; we’re altering a school from a sec-ondary to an elemen-tary, and typically, you bring forward budget estimates at a certain time in the design process, pre-tender or whatever.“In this case, we have

a March deadline that we need to meet that we need to go forward with an estimate, so the estimate is based on all the planning work that we’ve done to date.”

Sabo said the final amount is subject to change, due to factors such as an increase or

decrease in scope of the work, or change in prices.“We’ll be communi-

cating a little bit more with the business com-mittee and the board about cost estimates, etc. in the future, but at this point, to the best of our informa-tion, we believe the entire project’s going to be within a $2-mil-lion envelope,” he said.

The provincial grant money will also see $120,000 go toward John Barsby Com-munity School for completion of home economics and tex-tiles room renovation, and $150,000 will go to Ladysmith Secondary School for the influx of Grade 7 students.

About $250,000 will be spent on district-wide electrical up-grades and another $250,000 for priority boiler replacement.

The plan will be for-warded to the board for approval at an up-coming meeting.

The B.C. NDP leader-ship contest is of-ficially underway,

with the entry of Vancouver Island veteran John Hor-gan in a reluctant reprise of his 2011 run against Port Coquitlam MLA Mike Farn-worth. Unfortunately for them, weekend campaign events were overshadowed by revelations of flagrant abuse of taxpayers’ money by the executive and board of the Portland Hotel Soci-ety (PHS). A pair of audits released last week on this network of Downtown Eastside social agencies revealed systematic looting of the $28 million a year in taxpayers’ money that has kept this supposed charity running.

Alas for the NDP, local MLA Jenny Kwan not only failed to keep an eye on it, but her recently separated husband was one of the ex-ecutives who took part for years, and she benefited to the tune of $35,000 in luxu-ry travel.

When this Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous scheme finally came to light, Kwan hastily paid back the $35,000 and an-nounced she’s taking an un-paid leave of absence. Her tearful claim that she be-lieved nothing was wrong is simply not credible. She not only must have known of her husband Dan Small’s jet-set ways, she participat-ed in at least two trips, one to Vienna and Bristol, Eng-land, to do “research” and attend a poverty confer-ence from high-end hotels.

If it wants to retain any shred of credibility as it spouts misleading poverty statistics and simplistic so-lutions, the party must get rid of Kwan, who has two years left to max out her MLA pension.

MLA pensions were a fac-tor in the 2010 ouster of Car-ol James, who infuriated the old guard by trying to defuse a public backlash against a generous pay and benefits package worked out in pri-vate between the NDP and B.C. Liberals. Kwan would later take a leading role

in the caucus revolt that forced James out.

Long-time political watch-ers will see the PHS abuse as a bigger, uglier version of the Nanaimo Common-wealth Holdings Society scandal. There, the siphon-ing off of bingo funds from charities cost Mike Har-court his job as premier. In that case, NDP MLAs sat on the board, took their monthly cut and kept quiet.

There’s more. Horgan be-came enraged last year at the reporter who took a tip from the B.C. Liberals to re-veal the NDP was skimming constituency office budgets to pay for its own “ethnic outreach” operation in Van-couver. Horgan had rubber-stamped the plan with a since-dismissed legislature accountant and thought he had kept it secret after the Auditor-General blew the whistle. His willingness to assess its ethics remains in question to this day.

Then there is Craig Keat-ing, who took over as party president from Moe Sihota last year. Did he inherit the $72,000 salary negotiated

by Sihota with the B.C. Fed-eration of Labour and two of its largest unions? If so, do Horgan and Farnworth think this is appropriate?

Will the party’s joined-at-the-hip relationship with government unions even be discussed in the carefully staged leadership contest that’s about to begin?

Then there’s the policy shipwreck left behind by Adrian Dix. His plan to use environmental assessment as a weapon to torpedo in-dustrial projects remains popular with the party’s ur-ban base.

Farnworth and Horgan have paid lip service to the notion that projects like the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion should be prop-erly assessed. Meanwhile, the federal NDP fights to keep stacking public hear-ings with pre-selected pro-testers.

The party may wish to consider what would give its next B.C. leader any hope of governing.

One thing is virtually guaranteed about the new Cowichan District Hospital site: it won’t be unanimously endorsed by everyone.

That’s because the site cannot be chosen in a vaccuum and the perfect location likely doesn’t exist.

Which makes it crucial that the public understands what the needs of the hospital are, what options are out there and that NIMBYism is not an option.

There are only so many properties big enough, ac-cessible enough and near enough to the Duncan core to qualify. And not all of them are going to be for sale.

The terms of reference for the hospital site are good ones.

Ideally, there is a property available above the flood plain within five or 10 minutes from the Duncan downtown core with safe, convenient access to ei-ther Highway 1 or Highway 18. Ideally, the site is in a quiet area outside the ALR and is not being currently used. Ideally, the site has all the physical attributes that make it suitable for building and servicing, and neighbours that are compatible with a hospital.

Once you check all those boxes, you’ll be lucky if you have more than a handful of choices in front of you. In fact, you may be forced to consider sites that are lacking in one or more of those areas.

Officials need to be open with the public about this process. They are off to a good start with their ex-pressions of interest. The transparency should con-tinue with a list of sites that are put forward, followed by the lists of the pluses and minuses of each site.

Co-operation and consensus are crucial here — not just within the boardrooms and discussion groups, but within the community as a whole.

This tough decision should bind the community, not bend it. —Cowichan News Leader Pictorial

Duncan setting example for proper treatment of urban forests

Editor:

Editor’s Note: This is a letter sent to Mayor Phil Kent and City of Duncan council

Bravo! You are to be congratu-lated for your current urban for-est initiative, involving a series of public education workshops in support of your 2010 Urban For-est Strategy. Here in your neigh-bouring municipality of North Cowichan, the public are also in-terested in urban forests.

The Chemainus Residents As-sociation, as well as many others, have grave concerns about North Cowichan Council’s decision to prepare a plan to cut down 20 per cent of Echo Heights Forest in Chemainus to sell off for housing.

Echo Heights, part of a unique Coastal Douglas Fir ecosystem, comprises 54 acres which have recovered nicely from logging decades ago. Reputable scien-tists and other experts have spo-ken out about the value of Echo Heights Forest, and its economic, tourism, land use planning, eco-logical, cultural, educational and recreational values have been documented.

North Cowichan Council con-tends that 80 per cent of the forest will be preserved. Yet sci-entific research shows that the sections of a forest left standing after cutting (“fragmentation”) also suffer. As a result, for the past eight years, Chemainus citi-zens have been calling for pres-ervation of 100 per cent of Echo Heights Forest.

North Cowichan is moving to-ward irreparably damaging a long-term asset for short-term financial gain. Ironically, North Cowichan has recently been hon-oured for its Climate Change and Energy Plan which calls for more, not less, municipal forest.

Thank you, Duncan, for setting a good example for the proper treatment of urban forests.

tragic sequence of events, but as a neighbour, it brought it home all the more to me.

I would like to thank the Ladysmith Fire Dept. volunteers who responded to the fire. They handled the situation in a pro-fessional and expedient manner with the solemnity that was re-quired with the loss of two of our neighbours that was for all of us standing there a heady reminder that life is a fragile thing. The speed in which they brought the raging fire under control and pre-vented its spread was heroic to say the least.

I would also like to commend the RCMP responders, as they handled the situation both during the fire and the day after in con-taining the area in a very respon-sible manner and also the RCMP care workers for their diligence the day after to the neighbours and family of this traumatic event and their emotional support.

Chemainus Thrift Shop donates $150K annually

Don Bodgerthe chronicle

It’s one of the biggest rev-enue-producing little thrift shops you’ll find anywhere.And the health care sys-

tem receives a huge boost from sales at the Chemainus Health Care Auxiliary’s Thrift Shop at the corner of Maple and Oak Streets in Chemainus.

Donations and customer patronage generate some $150,000 annually in health care comfort and support to residents of Chemainus-Crof-ton, surrounding areas in the valley and beyond.

The scope of the auxiliary’s efforts is astounding when you consider a donation of $75,000 was made to B.C. Children’s Hospital in late November. Combined with other recent donations tally-ing $200,000, that brought the total for that facility alone to $275,000 in recent years.

Many donations have been made by the auxiliary from the thrift store to benefit the Chemainus Health Care Cen-tre with much-needed equip-ment, program support.

Proceeds have fed an abun-dance of other contributions to the Cowichan District Hospital, Victoria hospitals, Janeece Place in Victoria, the Cops For Cancer campaign, bursaries for Chemainus stu-dents, Providence Farm, Va-riety Club, Steeples assisted living — the list goes on.

Remarkably, the flourishing

finances are realized mainly by selling an enormous num-ber of items such as clothing that only cost a dollar or two each.“We spread out as much as

we can,’’ said current man-ager June Romero-Cabrera of how the proceeds are dis-bursed.

The store hit a monthly record in November with $40,000 in sales.

The value of products sold keeps climbing and the re-sponse from customers keeps the volunteers at the store hopping all the time. It’s particularly noticeable after the store’s been closed for a

couple of days.“It’s just unbelievable, Tues-day mornings,’’ said Romero-Cabrera.“(Jan. 21) we probably had a 55-person lineup outside. That’s almost normal for a Tuesday.’’

The public obviously de-serves a great deal of credit for keeping the donations coming in droves. Space ad-jacent to the retail store and upstairs is always jammed with items.“The donations we’re having a hard time keeping up with,’’ said Romero-Cabrera. “But that’s not a complaint.’’

The volunteers, many of them widows, work hard be-hind the scenes to keep the stock moving.

Their average age is 75, with two ladies — Edna Brown and Grace Rae — topping the charts at 90 years old, and Romero-Cabrera among the youngest at 61.“The hours these volun-teers put in is amazing,’’ said Romero-Cabrera. “Some of them are here every day and they want to be here every day.’’

It’s hard, satisfying work but also a great social outlet for many of the ladies and a few men who volunteer as well.“Actually we come here for the fun,’’ said Yvette Blanchard.“The fellowship is what we need,’’ said Marjorie Coak-well. “Also, we’re helping the community.’’

The value of products sold by the Chemainus Health Care Auxiliary volunteers at the thrift shop keeps climbing

The hours these

volunteers put in is

amazing.June Romero-

Attention BoatersGet ready for boating season by getting your pleasure craft licence and proof of competency now.

Pleasure craft licenceIn Canada, all recreational boats with a motor of 10 horsepower (7.5 kW) or more must have a pleasure craft licence. A pleasure craft licence provides a unique identification number that must be displayed on your boat. This allows Search and Rescue personnel to access important information in an emergency.

Pleasure craft licences are valid for 10 years. Operating a pleasure craft without one may result in a $250 fine.

Proof of competencyEveryone who operates a power-driven boat also needs proof of competency — something that shows they understand the basic rules and how to safely operate a boat. The most common proof of competency is the Pleasure Craft Operator Card. You can get the card by taking a boating safety course in-person or online, and passing the test at the end of the course.

For more information on how to get your card or to get an Application for a Pleasure Craft Licence, visit www.tc.gc.ca/boatingsafety or call the Boating Safety InfoLine at 1-800-267-6687.

Next week, the Ladysmith Ambas-sadors will showcase the results of seven months of work dur-ing their Speech and Talent Night, set for Wednesday, April 2 at Ladysmith Secondary School.

The 13 candidates will each present a three-minute speech and an individual tal-ent, which this year include dance, piano, singing, photography and a cooking show. The evening allows the girls to share their talents with the public and provides a platform for judges to select the three girls who will act as the Ambassador Team for 2014.“[The] Ambassador

Program works to fos-ter self-esteem, educa-tion, friendship and empowers future lead-ers in our community,” said Lauri Virtanen, chair of the Ladysmith Ambassador Com-mittee. The program runs for seven months, during which the can-didates volunteer in their community, re-ceive public speaking

training from Toast-masters and work on their speeches and tal-ent presentations.

Throughout the last week of March and first few weeks of April, the girls par-ticipate in three sepa-rate judged events in a bid to become one of three Ambas-sador Team members. Outgoing members receive bursaries for post-secondary education, but even those not selected for the team reap plenty of benefits through participating in the Ladysmith Ambassa-dors.“We hope that the

candidates finish the program with sense of community, self-es-teem, and new friend-ships,” said Virtanen.

The Speech and Tal-ent Night is the second of the three events, which also include a one-on-one interview with the judges and Coronation Night on April 12 during which the Ambassador Team members for 2014 will be announced.

Members of the public are welcome to attend the Speech and Talent Night at 7 p.m. on April 2 at

Ladysmith Secondary School. Tickets, which include refreshments, cost $10 and can be purchased from any candidate, at the door or by phoning Lauri at 250-245-7774.

Tickets for the April 12 Coronation Night cost $15.

Lise BroadleyTHE CHRONICLE

People of all ages who enjoy laughter, music, story-telling and interactive fun are invited to see musician Tim Read-man perform at In the Beantime Cafe on Friday, April 4.

Vancouver-based Readman is a Brit-ish-born folk singer whose flair for per-forming live and connecting with au-diences has earned him both critical ac-colades and plenty of fans.

Growing up in England, he had the opportunity to learn many of the songs and stories that were part of his country’s oral his-tory. Charmed by their fantastical na-ture — they range from Scottish death

ballads to romantic tales to stories of witches in the woods

— he eventually took up traditional folk music, and now he brings it to the audi-ences of his adopted home on B.C.’s West Coast.“Folk music has an enduring qual-ity,” said Readman.

“That was what really grabbed me when I was growing up

— the craft and the story telling.”

That storytelling is something Readman delights in, and he invites the audience into his world when he performs.

For Readman, sto-rytelling and humour go hand-in-hand, and he said audience members should be prepared to have a laugh and partici-pate in the fun.“You are engaging

with the audience. The deal is, I’ll bring 50 per cent of the

night, the audience brings the other 50 per cent,” he said. “For example, if something funny happens on the way to the show, you tell them about it and somehow, it works its way into the night. I really enjoy build-ing up a relationship with the audience.”

Though he special-izes in traditional English, Irish and Scottish folk music, Readman also enjoys throwing in an occa-sional Madonna or Steely Dan song.“We take our mu-sic seriously but we don’t take ourselves seriously,” Readman said.

He grew up in a “musical family” where there were al-ways guitars around the house; Read-man’s older brother was in a band and his sister ran with a crowd that was into folk music.

Readman naturally got into the local mu-sic scene as a young-ster, and he spent many years taking in music at the local

folk club, where he first learned many of the traditional songs and stories of the British Isles.As a young adult,

Readman travelled to Vancouver Island during a summer break from school and fell in love with the natural beauty of the place.Years later, he made

the move to B.C. and he hasn’t looked back. He said Van-couver Island in par-ticular has been wel-coming to him and his style of music, with many venues on the Island lending themselves well to his interactive style and his folk music.

Readman appears at In the Beantime Café with fiddler Jen-nie Bice Friday, April 4 at 7 p.m. Tickets cost $10, and all ages are welcome. For tickets, phone 250-245-2305 or e-mail Campbell McIntyre at [email protected].

An auto show for the entire provinceIt’s that time of year again when car shoppers can check out the hottest trends, latest innovations and some old classics at the 94th annual Vancouver International Auto Show.This year’s show, which runs from March 25 to 30 at the Vancouver Convention Centre West, promises to be a great family-friendly event with some exciting new features, following a record-breaking year for auto sales in Canada in 2013.The show is owned and oper-ated by the New Car Dealers Association of BC, serving as a new model showcase for the Canadian automotive industry and representing more than 30 distinct brands from the world’s leading manufacturers. Canadians purchased a record-setting 1.74 million cars last year: a four per cent increase over 2012 and just the second time in history that the market has ever surpassed 1.7 million units. In British Columbia alone, new car dealers account for more than $10 billion annually in economic activity. This makes it an important industry for entire province where our dealer

members employ, directly and indirectly, more than 34,000 high paying, full-time people in the more than 50 communities they serve.The show may be at the coast and therefore a little too long a drive for many readers but I would encourage you to cast your eye over show media coverage and use that material for information and ideas. Then go to visit some of our members’ dealerships where they operate an ‘auto show’ for 52 weeks a year!For those of you who can attend be sure to participate in the Green Ride and Drive, which puts you at wheel of the latest eco-friendly vehicles. Another feature is the Exotics, which is

a selection of truly exhilarating automobiles – you can dream!Visitors at this year’s show will also get to ex-perience a bit of automotive history at Hagerty Classic Alley, featuring beautiful cars from the 1950s and 1960s, including a special salute to the Ford Mustang and its 50th anniversary celebration. Two classic cars will also be auctioned off, with

100 per cent of the funds going towards two very de-serving causes. The first is a 1966 Plymouth Satellite, funds from which will go towards the MS Society of Canada. The second is a 1966 Ford Mustang Coupe, profits from which will be donated to the New Car Dealers Foundation of BC.For more information on the show visit: vancouverinternationalautoshow.com

Skaters will perform FridayLindsay ChungTHE CHRONICLE

If you love music and figure skating, then you’ll want to get a ticket to the Fuller Lake Skating Club’s big skating show this weekend.

The club presents “Blast From The Past” Friday, March 28 at 6 p.m. at Fuller Lake Arena.

Seventy skaters aged three to 16 will skate to music from the 1940s to the present in “Blast From The Past.”

The skaters do a big show like this every two years, and it will involve pairs numbers and group numbers with all the club mem-bers.“They’ve been work-

ing on it about a month now, and it will be six weeks by the show,” said coach Lor-raine Francisty.

S i x t e e n - y e a r- o l d Naomi Eastman is one of the skaters who will be performing in the show.

She has been skating with the Fuller Lake

Skating Club for 10 years.

She will be skating a 1940s number duet to “Puttin’ on the Ritz,” a senior skaters’ num-ber to “Time Warp” and a group number.

Eastman says prac-tising for the show has been a lot of fun.“It’s hectic, but it’s ex-

citing,” she said. “It’s really exciting with all the people, we get to dress up in weird cos-tumes and such.”

Eastman thinks figure skating fans should be very excit-ed for the show.“They can expect a

lot of excited people — we will all be very happy to do it,” she said. “There will be some great music. They’ll be pumped up about it, for sure. It will be exciting.”

Eastman likes the chance for all the club’s members to skate together in the

group numbers.“A lot of the older skaters are helping out the little skaters,” she said. “It’s really cool.”

Tickets for the show are $5 for adults and $2 for children aged 12 and younger. Tick-ets must be purchased in advance, as there will be none at the door, and they can be ordered by calling Lu-isa Shillingford at 250-245-1415.

Lloyd taking track circuit by storm

Ladysmith’s Haleigh Lloyd is one of a hand-ful of Cowichan Valley athletes attending the University of Alaska Anchorage who are tak-ing the U.S. track and field circuit by storm.

Lloyd finished 11th in the 200-metre sprint during the recent Great Northwest Athletic Conference indoor championships in Nampa, Idaho, after posting a time of 26.10.

In the 60-metre hur-dles, Lloyd came fourth in nine seconds flat.

Lloyd earned another fourth-place finish in the 400-metre sprint when she crossed the finish line in a time of 58.35.

Storm evaluations start April 7

Venues have been finalized for the upcom-ing Upper Island Storm player evaluations.

The Upper Island Storm is the Tier 2 Vancouver Island Premier League soccer franchise open to players from the Mid-Isle Soccer Club.

For U13 players (those born in the calendar year 2002), there will be evaluations for a Training Pool. These eval-uations will also help determine the Vancouver Island Zone squad for the BC Summer Games, being held July 17-20 in Nanaimo. Players born in 2003 are also invited.

Players must register online to participate in the sessions, which costs $25. Sessions will take place April 7 in Qualicum Beach, April 10 in Nanaimo and April 13 in Ladysmith.

Visit www.upperisland-storm.com/Evaluations.aspx for more.

Seventy members of Fuller Lake Skating Club, such as Caiden Varasteh, will perform during “Blast From The Past” this Friday (March 28). DON BODGER

Ladysmith 10% Shift


Don BodgerTHE CHRONICLE

Cowichan LMG Pringle is go-ing back to the Jackson Cup soccer final for the fourth time in five years.

LMG went to overtime with Bays United Liquor Plus in the semifinal March 14 at Victoria’s Hampton Park and emerged with a 2-0 victory.

After 90 minutes of scoreless play, Cowichan counted twice in the first 15-minute overtime and then held off Bays through the final 15 to seal the victory.

The first goal came five min-utes into the overtime with Bays somewhat incensed because they felt Cowichan should have passed the ball back to them after their goal-keeper was shaken up.

Cowichan coach Glen Martin didn’t think Bays really believed that because they lined up for an ensuing corner kick. Tyler Hughes sent a short corner to Dan Citra, who put it back to him, and Hughes nailed a shot that found the top corner.A couple of minutes later, “we

caught them a little flustered,’’ said Martin.

Dan Cato let a shot go that hit the bottom corner.

Cowichan made its first trip to the Jackson Cup final in many years in 2010, but was beaten by a powerhouse Gorge squad.

In 2011, Cowichan broke its long Jackson Cup drought with a victory over Juan de Fuca and made it back-to-back titles with a win over Bays in the 2012 final.

Bays exacted revenge in 2013 with a win over Cowichan when

the two powerful squads met in a first-round bad-luck-of-the-draw game.

Now, it was Cowichan’s turn to oust Bays, and it moves on to face the Saanich Fusion for the title this year on Sunday, March 30 at 2:30 p.m. at Victoria’s Roy-al Athletic Park.“It’s hard to get back,’’ conced-

ed Martin, but his troops were able to recover from last year’s early devastating defeat.“These Cups, they’re hard to

win. You’re always going to have to beat some tough team to get there. We’re not going to be just happy to be there this year.’’

Cowichan has lost twice to the Fusion this season but has the edge in experience with only three players making their Jackson Cup final debuts.

SHEPHARD, George Patrick

March 17, 1930 - March 15, 2014

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our family patriarch, George Patrick Shephard, P.Eng, early in the morning, Saturday March 15, 2014. George is survived by his best friend and loving wife, Karen of 52 years; younger brother Edward (Donna); two sons, Trevor and Derk (Elaine); his four grandchildren, Josh, Cody, Danae and Grant; and many nieces, nephews, honorary family members and friends.

George was raised in Ontario and graduated in Civil Engineering from U of T in 1957. One of his assignments was working on the Second Narrows Bridge 1958-59 after the initial disaster. He also built bridges in, [then], Burma and all across Canada. George was an Engineer by profession but a farmer by heart, he was a fascinating man with many interests, and a passion for environmental sustainability and social rights. Many people remember him as a person with deep feelings and convictions, with a kind heart, ready to help or listen. He will be very much missed.

Many thanks to the Doctors and Nurses of NRGH 6th floor and Dr. Lizinski, for their compassionate care.

A celebration of life will be announced in the near future.

LAUSCHER, Reginald GregoryNovember 8, 1938 - December 12, 2013

It is with great sadness we have to announce that our Dad, Reg Lauscher passed away on December 12, 2013 at the Lodge on 4th.Reg is predeceased by his loving wife Shirley (Greenhorn) - we miss you so much Mom and love you very much. Reg is also predeceased by his Dad, Joe Lauscher and his Mom, Grace Wagner. Reg is survived by his son Greg and daughters Sandy (Jeff) and Pam (Warren); 5 grandchildren Sheila (Doug), Cassandra, Anastasia, Christina, Mariah; and 3 great-grandchildren Carys, Dylan and Hunter.Reg and Shirley would have been married 52 years on August 4, 2013 - they missed it by 4 days. Reg was born in Colonsay, Saskatchewan and had 20 brothers and sisters. He worked in various mills on the coast for most of his career, including Ocean Falls as a saw filer. Dad loved to work on his trains and also liked golfing, fishing, curling and cutting wood.The family would like to extend their profound thanks to the Lodge on 4th and would also like to thank Dr. Lisinski. Thank you to everyone who made meals and baked goods. Also for the flowers and cards. Special thanks to Dad’s friends and family who came to see Dad when he lived at the Lodge on 4th and most of all, thank you to Dad’s very close friends who came to say goodbye before Dad went on his Journey.

• Award-winning composer and sound engineer Doug Black-ley will be at Vancou-ver Island University (VIU) Tuesday, March 25 to share a few se-crets he’s learned in sound design and acoustic technology while working on ma-jor live theatre and television productions. His 7 p.m. presentation, titled “The Mix is in the Air,” is free and open to the public at VIU’s Malaspina Theatre.

Blackley, who re-cently moved to the Ladysmith area, will share what he’s learned working with

famed theatre direc-tor Robin Phillips, and demonstrate music tracks he composed and produced for the hit series, Sanctuary.“We’re excited to wel-

come Doug and learn about his work on the Syfy network’s Sanc-tuary series, and hear a demonstration of a new acoustic musical instrument he’s creat-ed called the ‘spectral piano,’” music profes-sor Patrick Carpenter, who is co-ordinating the event for VIU’s Mu-sic, Theatre and Media Arts departments, said in a press release.

The audience will

experience the sound technology involved in Blackley’s spectral piano, which involves custom-built software that will be linked to VIU’s Steinway grand piano for the demon-stration.“Doug tells us this

will allow the Stein-way to do things it’s never done before,” said Carpenter, “like holding notes continu-ously, pitch-bending, creating plucked sounds, and emitting ethereal shimmers

— all sounds acousti-cally emitted from the Steinway’s strings and soundboard.”

• The Bring Back Play Funmobile tour is coming to Ladysmith Sunday, March 30!

Brought to you by

ParticipACTION and Healthy Families BC, the Bring Back Play Funmobile tour brings a van full of fun games,

activities and give-aways to Aggie Hall Sunday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. during Ladysmith Family and Friends (LaFF)’s Garage Sale, taking place at the hall at the same time.

For more informa-tion, visit www.partici-paction.com/get-mov-ing/bring-back-play/.• TASTECowichan.

ca, started three years ago by Zuk Design hus-band-and-wife team Patricia MacGregor and Drew Harling, is an online directory for everything local, and it’s ready to expand.

TASTE stands for To-tally About Supporting Town Economy, and TASTECowichan is about getting the full flavor of everything the Cowichan Valley has to offer, accord-ing to a press release. The Cowichan model has worked so well that TASTE is expand-ing Island-wide with a TASTE site for every area of the Island and an umbrella TASTEthe-Island site.

The expansion is be-

ing kicked off with an Indiegogo fundraising campaign at www.in-diegogo.com/projects/taste-the-island.

Besides the business directory, TASTE also has an event board that’s free for anyone to post community events on. There is also a growing blog with information on lo-cal authors, events by category, and TASTE-monials.

MacGregor and the TASTE team work hard to promote local through the weekly slideshow, weekly con-test, two e-newsletters, and social media. The team includes Toad Hollow photographer Scott Johnson, small business consultant Clemens Rettich, and sales rep Katherine Melnyk. MacGregor hopes the team will soon include two more.“With your help, we

can hire more local tal-ents,” MacGregor says of social media expert Gillian Polard, writer Laurie Johnson and the future area sales reps.

Under its new regulations, the BC Government has set up an association led by big corporations to take over the local Blue Box recycling program throughout BC. If you look closely, you’ll see that of seven board members, six are executives of Toronto-based multi-national corporations, with the seventh weighing in from Montreal.

How do you like that, British Columbia?

This means, unlike the current program run locally by BC municipalities, this new program will be managed not by people whose fi rst responsibility is our local environment, but rather, their Bay St. profi ts.

That can’t be a good thing for BC.

The most perplexing thing is that we currently have a Blue Box program that works, is effi cient, and costs BC homeowners just

$35 a year on average. The new proposed system does not guarantee to keep our local environment as its fi rst priority, nor does it guarantee that there won’t be job losses here in BC.

It doesn’t guarantee service levels, or say anything about how big business will pass along the costs to you when you go to pick up a pizza or buy groceries.

Yikes!

Perhaps this is why several of BC’s municipalities refuse to sign onto the new program, calling it a “scam.” Given that, maybe it’s time you called Premier Clark to keep BC’s environmental decisions right here in BC where they belong.

What’s going on here?

Email Christy Clark at [email protected] or call 250-387-1715. For more info, visit RethinkItBC.ca. #RethinkItBC.

The BC Government is now off-loading our recycling decisions to Toronto.
