Community Services Centre earns green LEEDership GoldNick Bekolaythe chronicle
The Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC) has award-ed LEED Gold certification to Ladysmith’s Community Services Centre, making it the city’s first structure to earn LEED credit.
The red- and black-clad structure — located at High Street and Second Avenue — was completed in 2011, City Manager Ruth Malli said, and now houses the Ladysmith Re-sources Centre, the Ladysmith Food Back and the Ladysmith Seniors Centre.
The Town of Ladysmith sub-mitted an application fee of
$525 to the CaGBC alongside the building’s portfolio “in 2012,” Malli said. An additional $4,144 was
paid for “certification fees,” Malli said.
The application was submit-ted for consideration in the LEED Silver category, Mayor Rob Hutchins said, so LEED Gold certification “exceeded our expectations.”
Building to LEED standards is now part of the Town’s en-ergy plan, Malli said, and all new civic structures exceed-ing 5,000 square feet in size will be built to that standard.
LEED certification, or Lead-ership in Energy and Environ-mental Design, is defined as
“a third-party certification pro-
gram and an internationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and op-eration of high performance green buildings,” states the CaGBC’s website.
Structures submitted for LEED assessment are judged on a variety of criteria with priority given to a candidate building’s energy and water efficiency, the sustainability of the building site, its “indoor environmental quality,” and the materials used in its con-struction.
Buildings that measure up are certified in one of four categories: LEED Platinum, LEED Gold, LEED Silver and LEED Certified.
City Manager Ruth Malli (left) and Mayor Rob Hutchins (right) announced the city’s first LEED Gold certification Thursday, Aug. 15, accompanied by Jack Mai-er, president of the Ladysmith Seniors Society, and Dennis Lait, executive direc-tor for the LRCA. Ladysmith’s new Community Services Centre — located at 630 Second Avenue and home to the food bank, the LRCA and the Ladysmith Seniors Centre — received the nod from the Canada Green Building Council earlier this year.

The Island Corridor Foundation (ICF) continues to do ev-erything in its power to get VIA Rail on track with the resto-ration of an old train service agreement for Vancouver Island passenger rail.
The response has been limited, foun-dation CEO Graham Bruce conceded, but he’ll take anything he can get right now to move in the right direction.
“I’m encouraged by it,’’ he said. “We’re still hopeful they’ll get at sitting down at the table and we can cover off all the is-sues that are there.’’
Key issues Bruce identified that VIA has to deal with under the existing agreement before service can com-mence are: a new Victoria station and finding a train main-tenance centre in the Victoria region.
VIA is responsible under the existing agreement for sta-tions, property insur-ance and taxes, rail cars, maintenance facilities, market-ing, scheduling and liability insurance. It also provides an annual subsidy to compensate for the difference between revenues and oper-ating expenses.
The annual sub-sidy has ranged be-tween $973,000 and $1,933,000 during the past decade.
Bruce acknowl-edged the lack of a Victoria station and maintenance facility makes it problemat-ic for VIA to restart the existing agree-ment, but the ICF is prepared to help solve the problems.
Both issues were dealt with in a new comprehensive train service proposal put forward in April on behalf of the ICF by its train operator, Southern Rail, Bruce indicated. There has
been no response to that proposal.
Bruce noted the plan addresses all the issues VIA iden-tified.
VIA has also pegged track repairs as essential before any passenger ser-vice can resume.
The ICF has ob-tained federal, pro-vincial and regional government commit-ments totalling $18.2 million for rail infra-structure improve-ments contingent on a new train service agreement with VIA.
“We all want a safe and efficient pas-
senger service,’’ said Bruce. “Either VIA doesn’t understand the infrastructure funds are contingent on the passenger rail agreement or they are just trying to de-lay in hopes that the people of Vancouver Island will go away.’’
Bruce pointed out although the island rail service had been derailed by a poor schedule and old equipment, ridership climbed six per cent annually in each of the last six years of operation. That’s ac-cording to VIA’s an-nual report, Bruce
indicated.“With a little en-
thusiasm from VIA and all the parties working together, rail service could see continued rid-ership growth,’’ of-fered Bruce. “This is exactly why we are asking VIA Rail to come back to the ta-ble and work out the arrangements for a train service agree-ment.’’
He encouraged people to write to government repre-sentatives and VIA officials that might help fast-track the process.
Island Corridor Foundation CEO Graham Bruce is struggling to get needed co-operation from VIA Rail in the bid to return passenger rail service to Vancouver Island. ANDREW LEONG/FILE

If discarded ciga-rette butts and plastic bags strewn across your favourite stretch of waterfront leave you feeling irate, taking part in next month’s Great Cana-dian Shoreline Clean-up (GCSC) might be the antidote you’re looking for.
The GCSC — a con-servation initiative championed by the Vancouver Aquarium and WWF Canada — returns for its 20th year September 21-29 with shoreline clean-ups scheduled to take place on rivers, lakes, lagoons and ocean-front beaches nation-wide.
Last year’s itera-tion drew more than 57,000 volunteers to shoreline sites across Canada, resulting in the removal of 136,000 kilograms of trash. According to the
GCSC’s website, that colossal volume of junk consisted of over 400,000 cigarette filters, 98,835 food containers and 69,790 plastic bags, along-side tens of thou-sands of plastic bot-tles, caps, lids, straws, stirrers and spoons.A shoreline cleanup
led by Cowichan N e i g h b o u r h o o d House is scheduled for 1 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 15, at Kin Beach Park in Chemainus. Volunteers are wel-come to sign up on-site the day of the event and are encour-aged to bring gloves and tools if they’re able to.A “private clean-
up” is scheduled for Transfer Beach Park at an unspecified date and time, states the GCSC website. Private cleanups are closed to the pub-lic and no public cleanups have been scheduled for the Ladysmith area to date, but members of the public are wel-come to sign up to coordinate their own cleanup at a location of their choice.

It’s not very often folks are or-dered to stay at least 40 kilome-tres away from their hometown.
But it happened to Duncan’s Micah Jair McClure.
North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP announced last week that a three-month inves-tigation resulted in McClure’s Aug. 6 guilty plea for four of the 13 breaking-and-entering related charges he was fac-ing.
He was sentenced to two years less a day followed by two years of probation, including the 40-ki-lometre order. In ad-dition, McClure has also been officially identified by cops and community part-ners as a prolific of-fender.According to Cpl.
Jon Stuart, the desig-nation is made in col-laboration between the police and a va-riety of other public officials. An officially designated prolific offender is immediately offered assistance in helping them stop their life of crime.“These persons are identified
when they have come to the attention of the police, usually once they have been the subject of numerous files in a short pe-riod of time,” he said.“Those who take advantage of this have been very successful in ceasing criminal behaviour.
Those who choose not to seek change are faced with enhanced police attention, which always results in criminal charges and incarceration.”
McClure’s charges were in relation to a series of crimes that took place during a span of three weeks late this winter:
a Feb. 18, break-in at the Chuck Wag-on general store in North Oyster, and a Feb. 27 incident at the Save On Gas at the intersection of the Trans-Canada Highway and Bench Road, said Cpl. Jon Stuart.
Related to Mc-Clure’s charges, Duncan’s Margaret Conrad has been convicted of assault (involving one of the witnesses) and ob-struction of justice. And Duncan’s Laurie Marshall is charged with two counts of unlawfully and with intent to provoke a state of fear, ob-structing a court par-ticipant by threats and obstructing jus-tice.An editorial foot-
note: McClure’s 40-kilometre limit means he would be over-stepping his boundaries if he were to set foot in Goldstream or venture south of the Duke Point Highway. Lake Cowichan, the Saanich Peninsula and most of the southern Gulf Islands would also be off-limits to Mc-Clure.
Distances were estimated us-ing Google Earth.
Those who take
advantage of this have been very successful in ceasing criminal
behaviour.Cpl. Jon Stuart

Of the 523 projects granted LEED certifi-cation by the CaGBC as of March 31, 2013, 244 of those projects rated Gold.
Beyond the reduc-tions in energy and water consumption that come with build-ing a structure mea-suring up to LEED standards, the prima-ry advantage of LEED to the community will come in the form of access to grants, City Manager Ruth Malli said. “It helps us, for in-stance, when we ap-ply for our water or sewer grants,” Malli added. “We’ll list the [LEED Gold certifi-cation] as one of the things we’ve done. It shows that the com-munity is commit-ted to sustainability and that’s often a big checkmark.”

Ladysmith Fire/Res-cue were called out to douse several fires over the course of the last week, including a
“suspicious” late-night boat fire in Ladysmith Harbour.
Fire Chief Ray Del-court said LF/R re-sponded to a call at approximately 11 p.m. August 12 regarding a boat fire off Slack Point.
Someone was living onboard the boat prior to it catching fire, Del-court confirmed, but it was unoccupied Mon-day night as it burnt to the water line and sank in water deep enough that it will not pose a hazard to passing ships.
The boat blaze was deemed “suspicious,” Delcourt said, but the RCMP has yet to com-ment on the circum-stances surrounding the fire.
In other LF/R news, fire crews responded to a trailer fire on High-way 1 at South Davis Road on the afternoon of August 11, Delcourt
said. A fifth-wheel trail-er had caught fire as it was being towed south along Highway 1 and fire crews were able to extinguish the blaze before it engulfed the trailer.
The following after-noon, LF/R responded to a gasoline leak at the Petro-Canada at Gatacre Street and Highway 1 that resulted in “15 gallons” of fuel
seeping into the sewers, Delcourt said.
No one was injured as a result of the incident, Delcourt confirmed, adding that the leak was the result of a faulty shut-off valve.
On Wednesday, Aug. 14, LF/R responded to a call regarding a
“torched stolen vehicle” off of South Watts Road at 10 a.m., Delcourt said.
The car had been set
ablaze along a narrow stretch of road running through the woods south of Ladysmith, meaning it fell outside of LF/R’s jurisdiction, Delcourt said.
However, as it posed a risk of starting a for-est fire, LF/R received the go-ahead from re-gional fire officials to hose down the smol-dering car, Delcourt said.
Monday night blaze claims boat
Ladysmith Fire/Rescue responded to several calls last week including a “suspi-cious” boat fire off Slack Point Monday night and a “torched stolen vehicle” off South Watts Road (pictured here) Wednesday morning. Ray DelcouRt

The B.C. Liberal government is or-dering up another round of liquor regulation changes, looking for ways to make life easier for businesses and customers without aggravating the health and social problems associ-ated with alcohol.
Discussions with B.C.’s 10,000 li-quor licence holders have identified a few problems that should be fixed. Going into a consultation phase that runs to October, the government is looking for answers to a few obvious questions, such as why it takes a pub or bar up to a year to get a licence.
Another question: why can a family with under-aged children go into a li-censed restaurant for lunch, but can’t go to a pub and place the exact same food and drink order? This should be allowed, perhaps until the traditional 5 p.m. “happy hour” when the pub re-verts to adults-only.
A couple of suggestions have come out of the healthy growth of B.C. wine, craft beer and distillery opera-tions. Look for new licence opportu-nities for farmers’ markets to sell lo-cal beverages alongside produce and preserves.
Letters inviting suggestions from ex-isting licence holders have gone out,
and Richmond-Steveston MLA John Yap will meet with government offi-cials, various stakeholders, police, health officials and First Nations in the fall.
A website will be put up in Septem-ber so members of the public can have their say. Here’s my suggestion to start things off.
Recent incidents involving so-called “party buses” shone a light on this growing industry, The sudden death of a 16-year-old on a party bus out-ing in Surrey in February turned out not to be alcohol-related, but to no one’s surprise, open liquor was found aboard the bus.
Open liquor isn’t allowed in any ve-hicle, but perhaps a new kind of spe-cial event licence could be created for party buses. They have been viewed mainly as part of the solution to im-paired driving, and the situation isn’t much different from a supervised event on a boat.
Here’s another suggestion. Gourmet cooking classes are becoming popu-lar, with customers preparing and then enjoying their meals. Why not licence these establishments, at least so people can bring their own wine for dinner?
Both the B.C. Liberals and NDP have advocated for easing the ar-chaic rules on inter-provincial trade in wine. B.C. lifted its restrictions on
mail-order wine and has urged other provinces to follow suit.
There are a couple of reasons why this Prohibition-era structure per-sists. Liquor sales are a cash cow for provincial governments, and every case of wine brought in from else-where is lost profit for the provincial wholesale monopoly. Then there is the local industry lobby that would rather not add to its competition.
Premier Christy Clark pressed this point at the recent premiers’ meeting in Ontario wine country, bringing in the maximum amount of B.C. wine al-lowed under Ontario rules and urging free trade in Canadian wine.
The Toronto media drank it up, aghast that they were barred from ordering the latest Naramata Bench tipples directly. No movement so far from the Ontario government, in a province that has done well develop-ing its own wine industry.
The B.C. government will no doubt be lobbied again to allow beer and wine sales in grocery and conve-nience stores. Our politicians show little interest in that, which is under-standable. The B.C. Liberals don’t want to upset the private liquor stores they have nurtured for a decade, and the NDP would never risk annoying the government liquor store union.
There are more creative ways to lib-eralize alcohol sales.

One-time Ladysmith resident Art Renshaw’s donation of $234,000 to the Cowichan District Hospital Foundation (CDHF) is a reminder people need to get their affairs in or-der sooner rather than later. The good that can come from donations like Renshaw’s can’t be emphasized enough.
Instead of leaving a potential bureaucratic mess for au-thorities to sort out by not specifying his desires, Renshaw was very clear about what he wanted to do.
The Cowichan District Hospital was to be the beneficiary and that’s exactly what happened August 15 when the fam-ily turned a whopping cheque over to the foundation.
There have been some other enormous donations in the past, but not many. Pat Carson’s contribution for a new CT scan at the hospital comes immediately to mind.
Renshaw did not have any children and because he’d re-ceived great care in the medical system, the recipient of the largest portion of his estate was a no-brainer.
The CDHF is very diligent about raising funds through its annual golf tournament and gala auction, but contributions like this from private individuals can make all the difference toward patient care.
Equipment is in constant need of updating or replacement and funds to do that on a regular basis just aren’t readily available anymore.
And think what a great legacy it is for the family to know Renshaw’s support could potentially benefit so many peo-ple.
It’s something worth considering for those fortunate enough to have the financial means and even for the aver-age person just to set aside something for such a worth-while cause.
Giving a gift to make hospital care better is just so pre-cious.

Departing physician credited with saving family members’ lives
Editor:
Thank you to the community of Ladysmith from the Lac-roix family.
The last few years have been full of challenges: my own brain surgery, my husband Gary struggling with bowel obstructions from years of surgeries due to Crohn’s dis-ease, my daughter’s car acci-dent injuries, and the scariest, my son’s fifth heart surgery. I’m happy to say he has won the long battle against bacte-rial endocarditis — infection in his heart — that set in six days after his surgery. He is doing great now. He will con-tinue to have pulmonary valve replacements every five to 10 years as they deteriorate, but for now he has a much better quality of life.
Our appreciation to the peo-ple in this community who have donated funds, time and labour is overwhelming. We have been dealing with these debilitating illnesses for over 20 years and your generosity and kindness have given us hope and emotional support. Some of you I know, some I never will, but I will never for-get the warmth and compas-sion you all have shared with us. Thank you all and a huge thank you to our great friend Rowan Butler for reaching out to you on our behalf.
My family is devastated by the loss of our beloved Dr. Kil-vert. Along with Dr. Brockley and all the staff at Ladysmith Family Practice Clinic, she has been instrumental in keeping my family alive, liter-ally.
It was Dr. Kilvert’s quick thinking and fast action that got our son treated properly when a post-operative infec-tion compromised his life. Her quick diagnosis and follow through was praised by all the cardiologists and surgeons at BC Children’s Hospital as the infection could quickly have
destroyed his new pulmonary valve.
Dr. Kilvert also did what was needed for me after my radi-cal brain surgery resulted in an infection. My neurosur-geon praised the quick reac-tions of my G.P.
Dr. Kilvert diagnosed my husband’s bowel obstructions early, preventing the need for an additional surgery and a long hospitalization.As a primary caregiver to
a family with many serious health problems, I have been taught by specialists that ear-ly intervention is imperative
— this requires tests and re-ferrals and I understand that this is what Dr. Kilvert has been criticized for doing so thoroughly.
Should she have ignored my family’s history, the complica-tions would have resulted in much longer hospitalizations and greater costs to our medi-cal system. Not to mention, costing us our lives.
I would urge VIHA to recon-sider its decision not to rein-state Dr. Kilvert.

Former patients extend well wishes to ‘kind, meticulous’ physician
Editor:
We were surprised to see the front page of the Chron-icle Tuesday, August 13, and find that Dr. Vivan Kilvert will no longer be at the Ladysmith Family Practice Clinic as we were not noti-fied this was happening.
Since we were patients of the clinic, my husband and I found her to be an excellent doctor.
She was kind, understand-ing and meticulous in deal-ing with our problems. We had medical students
stay with us who were im-pressed with her teaching skills. They all enjoyed working at the Ladysmith Family Practice Clinic.
Dr. Kilvert will be missed and we wish her all the best in her future endeavors.

Kilvert will be missedEditor:
With regard to Dr. Vivan Kilvert‘s dismissal from the Ladysmith Family Practice Clinic the article suggested Dr. Kilvert had exceed-ed budgetary limits. This is en-tirely erroneous. Having retired from clinical practice two and a half years ago, I’m not entirely privy to the inner workings of the clinic and the reasons for her contract termination are some-what of a mystery. What I do know, having had the privilege of working with her for many years, is that Dr. Kilvert is an excellent physician whose clinical acumen and care for patients is above re-proach. Furthermore she is an examiner for the Medical Coun-cil of Canada, instrumental in certifying new family physicians, and has been consistently laud-ed by UBC and Island Medical School programs for excellence in teaching medical students and residents. These qualities speak for themselves.
She will be greatly missed by her patients and colleagues.

Tour de Rock is a fundraiser that benefits children living with cancer and their families, which helps the riders put things into perspective.
“We’re all here for the same rea-son: we’re all gunning for a cure,” says VicPD Const. Mike Russell. “I’m a huge believer of trying to get the kids to have some sort of normalcy when they go through their treat-
ment. This is about finding a cure for cancer. This is about not losing any more kids to cancer.”
Russell, 33, a father of three, says meeting kids who are going through cancer and are the same age as his children takes an emotional toll.
“I really want to get to know these kids we’re fighting for, their families, on a more personal level. To get to
know them will add another level of motivation for me,” he says.
Tour de Rock has raised almost $18 million for the Canadian Cancer Society since 1998 – money aimed to fund pediatric cancer research and support programs for kids and their families, like Camp Goodtimes.
“I get the most gratitude from helping people, and I want this to be the year that cancer ends. Whether or not that happens, I can help a lot of kids get to camp,” Blackhall says.
Bourque says she’s riding to support families who have to go through the emotions of seeing their child go through treatment.
“What’s not fair is that life has to strike any kids with illness. Kids just want to be kids. They want to move forward and not get stuck in all that,” she says. “They may have struggles, but you can’t see it on their faces. You might get tired (rid-ing), but then you realize the effort you will put in. How could you not? They are your inspiration.”
Black Press is proud to be an official sponsor for the 2013 Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock, with photojournalist Arnold Lim on the 22-member tour team as a media rider. Follow Arnold’s personal story of training for the Tour and the ride itself at tourderock.ca under the blog posts, or on Twitter at@arnoldlimphoto.
ON TOUR: This year’s Tour de Rock begins in Port Alice on Saturday, Sept. 21 and ends Friday, Oct. 4 in Victoria. Tour de Rock raises funds and awareness for pediatric cancer research and programs.

Aubrey Blackhall has been pull-ing for Tour de Rock since he was in high school.
Each year from Grades 9 to 12, the Oak Bay High grad raised money and shaved his head to support the cause. Now, the 21-year-old reserve constable with Oak Bay police is get-ting an opportunity to ride.
“I was really nervous going into the selection process, because I knew that, as a reserve constable, maybe I wouldn’t have the kind of standing that other officers would,” says Blackhall, who has been a reserve officer for a year and a half. “But it seems like what they really wanted to see was that your heart was in the right place.”
Blackhall’s heart is there. The young rider lost his grandmother to “an ugly, three-year battle with can-cer” when she was only 63 – a loss that motivates him on this ride.
Victoria police Const. Marie Bourque has also seen the toll a disease can have on loved ones. In 2001, she learned her father was fail-ing from frontal-lobe dementia and would lose most of his motor skills very quickly.
“Even though family is No. 1, care-giving is so tough,” says Bourque, 40. “My dad was 60 years old, which is young, but at least he had 60 years. Caregiving for a child – I just couldn’t imagine that, and what you’d have to go through.”
Emotions ride high for the Tour

Keep on playing those Mind Games together.
The lyrics to John Lennon’s song provide the perfect sum-mation for a music trivia fun-draiser for the Alzheimer So-ciety of B.C., hosted by Don and Dave Bodger, taking place Saturday, Sept. 21 at the Fuller Lake Arena downstairs ban-quet room.
With incidences of Alzheimer
disease on the rise and expect-ed to continue accelerating in the next decade, the impor-tance of exercising your brain as well as the limber parts of your body can’t be emphasized enough.Mind Games will test the ex-
pertise of music trivia buffs to identify numerous songs and artists from the 1950s to the present. There’s still room for interested persons to take part.
Teams of eight are being formed to take part in the com-petition. Teams of fewer than
eight can still register, as can individuals or smaller groups looking to join forces with oth-ers.
There will be many draw priz-es in addition to rewards for members of the top teams.
It promises to be an exciting night and all proceeds from the $25 entry fee per person will go to the Alzheimer Society.

Jazz festival set to transform Waterwheel Park
Ashley DegraafBlack press
An event billed as being so surreal it’s al-most magical is set to sweep the Chemainus Waterwheel Park’s bandshell stage Aug. 24.
It is the second-annu-al Chemainus Jazz Fes-tival, organizer Kathy Wachs describes in such an alluring way.“In the evening, with the lights on at the park, the sun just go-ing down, and with the bandshell nestled in among these huge Douglas firs, and there are people bringing their dogs, and the music is just superb,” Wachs said as she en-visioned what’s in the works for the evening performances of a day jam-packed with jazz artists from all over Canada.“We’ve been think-ing for quite a long time that we’d like to have this, and with some jazz lovers on the board, and we fig-ured there was an au-dience there for jazz,” Wachs, board chair of the Chemainus Valley Cultural Arts Society, said. “So last year it started as the Queen’s Jubilee Jazz Festival as we got a small grant to commemorate the diamond jubilee and this year, it’s just the
Chemainus Jazz Festi-val.”
This year’s lineup in-cludes long-time vet-erans, sisters Christine and Ingrid Jensen, Phil Dwyer, Stu Salmond with Tony Genge, Zan-dra Burns and Paul Wainwright.
And the timing couldn’t have been more perfect, with the festival following the weekend both Chris-tine Jensen and Phil Dwyer held instruc-tional type camps with students, who are now set to hone their skills on the bandshell stage.“What I’d like to see is some of these veterans on stage with some of VIU students as well,” said Wachs, also not-ing students from Van-couver Island Univer-sity will be attending.
Manitoba’s Zandra Burns will kick the fes-tival off with a perfor-mance at 1 p.m.
Later, Montreal saxo-phonist and composer Christine Jensen —de-scribed by Globe and Mail’s Mark Miller as an original voice on the international jazz scene, and one of Canada’s most compel-ling composers — will share the spotlight with her sister, Ingrid, who she was able to convince to tag along.“These ladies are in-ternational stars on the jazz scene. We’re really
excited to have them,” said Wachs.A number of artists
will hop on and off stage, before a finale by Stu Salmond and an encore jazz jam with whichever artists are left and feeling into it, explained Wachs.Admission to the
event is by a suggested donation of $15 and a
“small army” of volun-teers will be on hand Saturday, serving food and assisting festival participants.
Those who are famil-iar with the bandshell will also notice new acoustic lining to the stage’s shell.“You hear a differ-
ence. And it really makes a difference
with the musician,” said Wachs. “They can hear themselves better and they’re confident in how they sound, so they can really let it rip.”
Organizers ask folks to bring their own lawn chairs.

Arts on the Avenue returns to Ladysmith this Sunday
Lindsay Chungthe chronicle
As it celebrates its 15th year this weekend, Arts on the Avenue has gained more space for artists and art lovers.
The one-day art show and sale takes place Sunday, Aug. 25 on First Avenue in Ladysmith from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and this year, the Arts on the Avenue venue has moved down First Avenue, and the artists’ big white tents will be lined up from Buller Street to Warren Street. The expanded space will allow the festival’s 50 artists, as well as food artisans and community groups, room to display and will give the visitor elbow room to enjoy the art, ac-cording to a press release.
Originally conceived by Marina Latulippe, a group of Ladysmith artists and supporters, the festival is a celebration of local art.“It’s grown, I guess, slowly be-
cause people have tried to main-tain the fact it was all about the pure art,” said Kathy Holmes, president of the Ladysmith Arts Council. “It’s sort of gone up and down, but it’s always gone for-ward and always been a success-ful event, mostly due to the artists and to the hard work of the vol-unteers.”
More than 50 juried artists will be tucked under the big white tents offering original art from acrylic and oil paintings, pottery and fabric art to jewelry, carving, glass, willow works and more.“I think we have a great mix of
art,” said Holmes. “It’s not leaning just one way. We will have fine art and fine craft for sure.”
Holmes says there will a lot of “amazing” displays throughout the day, including “plein air” art, hand-built pottery, hand-hooked rugs and altered books.
There will also be community displays and artisan food to take home, such as pasta, East Indian spices, specialized salt, and jam.
Local buskers will provide en-tertainment, along with belly dancers and an artist on stilts.
There will be lots of children’s activities for the budding artist at the Ladysmith and District Credit Union’s Kids Zone.
This year’s guest artist is Mark Hobson, who is best known for his passionate portrayals of the wildlife and landscapes of the Pa-cific coast. Hobson has travelled extensively but calls Tofino home, and the rugged west coast has in-spired much of his work. Over the past 25 years, his paintings have won awards in the U.S., Canada and Europe, and he has partici-pated in shows throughout North America and as far afield as Hong Kong and Singapore.
Hobson says he has always been interested in creating art.“I think I was three years old
when I drew a little chicken that was pretty recognizable as a chicken,” he said. “From that point on, I was drawing every chance I got. I guess that’s what happens when it’s in you. It’s just this desire to recreate things with pencil and crayons.”
Hobson has always been drawn to the coast.
Between the ages of eight and 12, his family moved to Powell River, and he says they spent a lot of time fishing and taking boat trips.
When Hobson was studying at
the University of Victoria, he took a trip with friends to Long Beach, and he remembers thinking it was
“everything I’d ever dreamed of” with its dramatic beaches.“Really, Mother Nature is in con-trol, and I find that incredibly ap-pealing,” he said.
This will be Hobson’s first time participating in Arts on the Av-enue.

It’s Oldies Night at Ladysmith Concerts in the Park this week-end!As the concert se-
ries hosted by the Ladysmith Resources Centre Association (LRCA) comes to a close for 2013, music fans will be treated to two sets of music that will bring them back in time and will like-ly bring back some great memories this Sunday (Aug. 25).
Howie James and the Howlettes – Shir-ley Whitelaw and Cyndia Doell – will perform during the
first set. In the second set, Cliff Marcil will share his “oldies but goodies.”
Called “B.C.’s an-swer to Tony Bennett” by the Globe and Mail, Howie James is a Nanaimo-based enter-tainer who made his name back in the six-ties and seventies by resurrecting the old Quadra Club in Van-couver and defining nightlife at hot spots like The Livingroom and the Coach House, according to his web-site.“His smooth vocals and remarkable gui-tar stylings were a mainstay of Canada’s night clubs and hotel lounges for several decades, garnering him praise from crit-
ics and fans alike,” it states.
In 2011, James was inducted into the Northwest American Western Swing Mu-sic Hall of Fame.
The music starts at 6 p.m. at the Trans-fer Beach Amphi-
theatre. Admission is by donation, and volunteers will cir-culate through the audience during the performance to col-lect any donation you can offer. Every penny contributed is earmarked to help
offset the costs of the LRCA’s programs so that local resi-dents can participate at no cost.
For more informa-tion about Concerts in the Park, visit www.lrca.bc.ca/con-certs.asp.

One gold, one silver for Jerome at Championships
Nick Bekolaythe chronicle
Distance jumper and sprinter Rachel Jerome returned home to Ladysmith following the Legion National Youth Track and Field Champion-ships (LNYTFC) with a pair of medals and a freshly-minted 4x100 relay record in tow.
The 15-year-old Team BC-Yukon athlete opted out of Triple Jump on day one of competition at Langley’s McLeod Athletic Park August 9 to focus on her team’s performance in the Midget Girls Branch 4x100 metre relay, she said.
Jerome and team-mates Zion Corrales-Nelson, Nina Shultz and Chicago Bains posted a record-set-ting time of 47.69 sec-onds in the first heat of the timed finals, crossing the finish
line 40 metres ahead of the runner up. Je-rome’s team then eyed the clock as heat two rounded the track, waiting to see if their new Canadian U16 Female 4x100 record would be fast enough to earn them gold.
It was. Team Ontario post-
ed a silver-medal time of 48.70 seconds while Team Quebec locked up bronze with a time of 0:49.22.
Shaving 0.6 seconds off a national age-group record while winning gold left Je-rome and her team-mates feeling “really excited,” she said, a welcome payoff fol-lowing the team’s pre-race jitters. The team had “never run together before,” Je-rome added, mean-ing they weren’t even seeded going into the race.
During Midget Girls
Long Jump on day two of the event, Je-rome faced “really intense competition” as she vied for gold versus North Shore jumper Emma Rastad.
Jerome and Ras-tad tied on their fi-nal jump as each girl posted a personal best of 5.61 metres. “What they do when there’s a tie in long jump,” explained Je-rome, “is look back on [athletes’] next far-thest jumps. Hers was 5.48 and mine was 5.42.”
Rastad’s six-cen-timetre advantage translated to a gold medal for the Nor-Westers’ athlete while Jerome earned silver and Team Saskatch-ewan’s Joely Welburn walked away with bronze.
Considering they tied on their longest jumps, having to set-tle for silver left Je-rome feeling slightly
disappointed, but besting her expecta-tions and setting a new personal best more than made up for it.
Jerome set her pre-vious “PB” of 5.39 me-tres while competing at the BC Athletics Championships Jam-boree in Kamloops July 19-21, she said, and she came into nationals with inten-tions of setting a new PB of 5.5 metres.
Stretching her lon-gest jump by a full fifth of a metre “was a lot better than I want-ed,” Jerome said, “so I was happy with that.”
The LNYTFC caps off Jerome’s season, she said, and she’s planning on taking time off until high school volleyball starts up later this fall.
Jerome anticipates a return to the track
“in March or April,” she said.

Free, open-air family film night planned as TDR fundraiserFor those of you in search of a welcome distraction from
the back-to-school blues, a late-summer, open-air movie night may be the antidote you’re looking for.
Ladysmith’s mayor and councillors are volunteering to host an outdoor screening of Despicable Me to raise funds for Tour de Rock (TDR) the night of Wednesday, Aug. 28.
Duck Paterson, a councillor with the Town of Ladysmith, said “Ladysmith has always been a big supporter of TDR and we thought it would be kind of neat and unique. I don’t think any other [city] councils fundraise as a group.”
Outdoor movie nights have been successful here in Ladysmith in the past, Paterson added, making them an
ideal choice for a family-friendly fundraiser. Despicable Me will be shown in the grass amphitheatre
at the Community Services Complex — home of the Boys and Girls Club and the Ladysmith Resources Centre — at Second Avenue and High Street. A short film showcasing the TDR will screen shortly after
8 p.m., Paterson said, followed by the night’s feature film.Admission is free, Paterson added, and popcorn, hot dogs
and refreshments will be available on a “by donation” basis with all proceeds going towards TDR.
For more information, contact Duck Paterson by phone at 250-245-2263.

O’Dell, “Digger” Lenley Gene
January 02, 1927 – July 24, 2013Len “Digger” O’Dell was born in Chelan, Washington, where he went to school, until 1935 when his family moved to Saltair. He completed his schooling in Ladysmith in 1945 and returned to the USA, settling in Bremerton, Port Orchard and Moses Lake. He married Marion Winkle in 1946; his son Rick was born October 26, 1948; they were later divorced. He remarried on May 28, 1951 to Betty Porter; his daughter Linda was born April 30, 1952; they divorced at the end of May 1953. Len moved back to Ladysmith in early 1954, where he met Audrey Lousie Bourque. They married on July 15, 1955 at the Nanaimo Court House. Rick’s mother, Marion McKim (deceased), regained custody September 1955-1959, then Rick came to live with us in Langford.During Len’s 10 years in Washington, he worked (3 years) on the O’Sullivan Dam driving a belly dump Euclid and then as an auto mechanic in Moses Lake. He built his first engine at 13 years of age, and started auto racing in 1946. Most towns had a dirt track; that’s where he gained his expertise on the oval. He did exceptionally well here on the Island- Shearings, Western Speedway & Nanaimo. He belonged to Racing Associations: MIARA; VARA; VITRA, and was inaugurated into the Racing Hall of Fame in 1986; his son Rick in 1997. He raced from 1954 to 1958, then built engines and cars for a few years, including his son Rick’s first car in 1966. At one point, the four fastest cars in the Trophy Dash had engines built by “Digger” O’Dell.Predeceased by his son, Rick O’Dell (Jan 15, 2006); his mother, Alma Violet (Hickethier) (O’Dell) Mawson; and father, Jesse Lee O’Dell. He is survived by his loving and caring wife of 58 years, Audrey O’Dell; daughter, Linda (Herman) Fox; grandson, Daniel (Jennifer) Fox; great grandson, Gabriel Fox and great granddaughter, Cale Fox of Siloam Springs, Arkansas; cousins Jim (Ruth) Griffith of Manson, Aaron (Maxine) Hickethier of Wenatchee, Ernie Gehrke of Springdale, Washington; Donna (Chester) McMillin of Springfield, Missouri.Thank you to Dr. Marta Potts, the Staff at Cowichan District Hospital and our kind and generous friends and neighbours.On Tuesday August 27, 2013 @ 11:00 AM, at Western Speedway in Langford, we’re going to raise the Checkered Flag for the last time for Digger O’Dell. The Racing Hall of Fame and Museum will be open. There will be a light lunch served and Memorial book to sign. Looking forward to seeing Digger’s friends and acquaintances... Audrey O’DellIn lieu of flowers, a donation to The Canadian Red Cross or The Racing Hall of Fame would be greatly appreciated.
Diedrich Neudorf Diedrich Neudorf, 67, passed away peacefully on Aug 17, 2013 at the Palliative Care Unit, NRGH, following a brave battle with cancer. Diedrich (Dick) leaves behind his wife of 47 years, Shirley (Fast) Neudorf; his son, Jay Neudorf and his wife, Sondra;
Kim (Neudorf) Judson and her husband Douglas; his beloved grandchildren: Lucas, Ross, Corbyn, Emily and Zackery; along with many cherished friends and family.
Born in Chilliwack, BC, the son of Dietrich & Katherina Neudorf, Dick began his family life in Quesnel, BC where he worked at the Highways Department for many years. A well-respected and hard worker, he made an impact wherever he was by his infectious smile and big personality. His love for life and a good laugh permeated all of his activities, and he was defined by an ever-strong commitment to serving the Lord, demonstrating his heart as Usher, Youth Pastor, Deacon and Board Member throughout the years.
His love for Vancouver Island found him a permanent resident in 1987 where he was able to pursue his love for sailing, fishing, float tubing, camping, hiking and even sitting under his favorite apple tree. Dick loved his family, especially his grandchildren, beyond words and his playfulness, teasing and smooches will be surely and sorely missed.
In lieu of flowers, Diedrich had requested that donations be made to the Cancer Clinic of Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. A very special thank you to the doctors and nurses of NRGH, with particular gratefulness for the wonderful staff in the Palliative Care Unit.
A Celebration of Life service will be held on August 24, 2013, 2:00 pm, at
Bethel Pentecostal Church, Ladysmith, in Diedrich’s honour.Telford’s

Heard around town• Congratulations to Sgt. Wes Olsen,
who grew up in Chemainus and has become the new Detachment Com-mander at the Lake Cowichan RCMP. Olsen enlisted with the RCMP while living in Chemainus, a decision that led to Olsen spending the majority of his 20-plus year career policing lakeside vacation destinations in Manitoba. Olsen returned to Vancou-ver Island in 2010 when he was trans-ferred to Courtenay. His first day on the job in Lake Cowichan was Aug. 7.• The Ladysmith Historical Society
and Ladysmith Maritime Society would like to invite you to join them as they gather around the Porlier Pass troller to share memories of the Gap (Porlier Pass) Saturday, Aug. 24, at 10 a.m. at the new Harbour Heri-tage Centre located in the Expo Leg-acy Building (610 Oyster Bay Drive).
• Project REEL Life coordinator Bill Taylor tells us PRL “has been in-volved in some innovative program-ming over the summer.” Working with Rebecca Fairweather and Maike Lammel from the Town of Ladysmith and Shirley Louie of Stz’uminus First Nations, PRL has now recruited 60 local youth to work on projects and Taylor plans to expand the number of participants involved to 100-plus once they roll out their full fall pro-gram. Joshua Raven at Tribe Produc-tions is working with PRL on “some professionally shot projects,” Taylor said, and he’s “very excited” by the work of Stz’uminus youth who are
“capturing elders’ voices” for PRL. • Ladysmith’s Kelly Wallace tied
for first in the “People’s Choice” category at the BC Ambassador Pageant in Merritt Aug. 17.
Random fact of the week:
Nature reports that “the enor-mous black hole at the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy generates a surprisingly strong magnetic field, more than a hundred times stron-ger than that of Earth.”
