Farmers want to grow Throne Speech promisesCraig SpenceTHE CHRONICLE

Farmers on Vancouver Island, and in the Cowichan Valley and Cedar areas were happy to hear agriculture mentioned in the Throne Speech, delivered by Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon on Tuesday, Feb. 9.

They don’t need convincing that agriculture is a key sector in B.C.’s economy, even if it rep-resents a fraction of the dollar value generated by resource in-dustries like forestry and mining, and doesn’t have the new age al-lure of high tech.

So now the seed has sprouted, they are more than happy to pro-vide a little fertilizer and water to make sure it grows into the sun-

light of a new dawn. How much has homegrown been overshad-owed in B.C. by imports from agribusiness titans like California and Mexico?“Vancouver Island used to pro-duce 85 per cent of its own foods in the early 1900s” said Mayta Ryn, president of the Nanaimo-Cedar Farmers’ Institute. “Now I think we produce seven per cent.”

So as far as she is concerned, we have a long way to go, getting back to square one.

Guichon said the Liberal gov-ernment under the leadership of Premier Christy Clark is commit-ted to:• increasing financial support

for the Agricultural Land Com-mission;• offering tax credits to farmers

who donate food to non-profit or-ganizations;• encouraging and supporting

British Columbians to “Buy Local, Grow Local.”

Laurie Gourlay, president of the Vancouver Island & Coast Conservation Society said the Liberal government’s attention to supporting local agriculture is welcome.“This is what we need, more at-tention to local food production,” he said. He confirmed the nar-row slice of the sales pie chart Vancouver Island farmers occupy, and said the time is ripe for turn-ing things around.“I’m not sure we could get back to 60 or 70 per cent in the next year, but we could do it in the next 10 years,” Gourlay said.

Ryn said small scale farmers in places like Vancouver Island need to have a voice on the BC Agricultural Commission. Right now they only have a ‘partial seat’ and their representative is ap-pointed, not selected by the farm-ing community.“We would like a more formal

way to address the ministry,” she said. “We don’t get invited to the table.”

Both Ryn and Gourlay men-tioned the need to provide financ-ing for small scale farmers – espe-cially for young farmers, starting out.“Small scale farmers have a real problem because it’s difficult to get financing,” Ryn said. “It’s a huge issue.”

Support for farmers’ markets

that could operate year-round, and which would have facilities to help them process and pro-mote their products, would give local growers opportunities to build demand.

Canadian agriculture, accord-ing to Ryn, is evolving toward a model where local, community farmers supply local demand; and large scale agribusiness is di-rected mainly to export markets.As for the argument that locally

grown and raised food will cost people more, Ryn said: “They’re going to be paying more anyway.”“Agriculture is going to be a big deal,” Ryn said. “We’re actually well poised to be a big player in agriculture, not only to ship to the world, but to feed our own people.”

N. Cowichanconsideringeasing lightindustrial tax?

North Cowichan Council is considering a bylaw that will shift 20 per cent of property taxes currently paid by Light Industrial ratepay-ers “equally across the remaining eight prop-erty classes.”

The proposal was to be considered at a Committee of the Whole meeting Feb. 11 in council chambers. Councillors will consider the shift in the context of an overall 2.51 per cent ‘net tax increase’ for the municipality.

A report to council from Mark Frame, direc-tor of finance, says North Cowichan is in a position to reduce its net tax increase from an initial projection of 2.96 to 2.51 per cent.

It goes on to say: ”Council identified a review of the Class 5 Light Industry tax rate/ratio as a priority for 2016 in order to improve competitive-ness.“Based on this priority, tax distribution options have been provided that reduce taxes for Class 5 – Light Industry.”

Library board,and CUPE 401 settle on five year contractto Dec. 2019

The Vancouver Island Regional Library and its CUPE 401 employ-ees have settled on a collective agreement which will cover the five year period ending Dec. 31, 2019, says a VIRL media release.

CUPE members voted in favour of a ‘memo-randum of agreement’ Feb. 5.

The collective agree-ment was settled with the assistance of a mediator between the VIRL and CUPE 401 Jan. 14. The VIRL Board of Trustees 38 members ratified the agreement at its January Annual General Meeting.

VIRL’s CUPE 401 staff had been without a contract since Jan. 1, 2015.

Craig SpenceTHE CHRONICLE

The Town of Ladysmith hasn’t waited around for the official announcement, but they are glad to see $1 million of federal grant money, plus a $10 million low interest loan, coming its way to go toward completion of an upgrade of the municipal sewage treatment plant.

The upgrade will see Ladysmith achieve sec-ondary levels of sewage treatment, with a plant capable of accommodating a population of up to 30,000 people.

That will meet federal and provincial regula-tions for the discharge of effluent into marine environments for the foreseeable future, said John Manson, director of infrastructure ser-vices.“It means we will eliminate over 90 per cent of the solids that are in sewage,” he said.

Federal funding for the project comes from its Green Municipal Fund, and is an example of what municipalities will be able to do with green infrastructure funding, say municipal leaders.

The Green Municipal Fund is aimed at capital projects and support planning, field tests and studies related to future green projects.

Manson said Ladysmith faced space con-straints on its sewage treatment plant site that made it difficult to accommodate a convention-al secondary treatment facility. They turned to a system that has been developed in Europe.

The process is not as common in North Amer-ica, but it’s not new, he said. “It’s not experi-mental technology; it’s technology that’s been used before.”

Secondary treatment is a process of aerating effluent to accelerate the bacterial growth that breaks it down.

Ladysmith’s upgrade is the last phase of a project costing $20 million. Upgrading to sec-ondary treatment will cost $17 million and that part of the project, which is 80 per cent com-plete, is expected to take 1.5 years to complete.

Fed grant and loan funding Ladysmithsewage treatment

A 54 year-old man has been arrested in con-nection with three suspicious fires that oc-curred Sunday night, Feb. 14, and early Mon-day morning in the Cedar and Ladysmith areas.

Police responded shortly after 10 p.m. to what they thought was a break-in at Cedar Val-ley Memorial Gardens, at 2347 Cedar Road, but upon arrival found the building engulfed in flames, with North Cedar Volunteer Fire De-partment battling the blaze.

Percy Tipping, North Cedar fire chief, said the fire was being fueled by natural gas.“We had to wait for Fortis B.C. to isolate the gas service. It was just too intense for us to get to it,” Tipping said. “Basically we just con-trolled the fire from a distance. Once the gas was isolated then we were able to extinguish the fire.”

Damage to the roof of the building was exten-sive, Tipping said

Ron Gueulette, Cranberry Volunteer Fire De-partment chief, who was on scene, said it ap-

peared a natural gas line to the building had been vandalized and ignited.

No one was injured in the blaze.While that incident was under investigation,

another fire was reported at 11:20 p.m. at the Ivy Green Husky gas station on Highway 1 just north of Ladysmith. Then at 12:20 a.m. a small fire was reported in a grader on a property off Brenton Page Road.

There was ‘minimal damage’ caused by the Ivy Green fire, but damage to the grader was estimated at $28,000.

The suspect was arrested in Cedar. “Inves-tigation identified a suspect vehicle, which was located a short time later in Cedar,” said Nanaimo Cst. Gary O’Brien in an RCMP release.

The lone male occupant was arrested without incident and a judicial bail hearing was sched-uled for Monday.

Charges of arson were being contemplated, but Ladysmith Commander Sgt. Ken Brissard said the incidents were still under investigation.

Quality Foods Expands Presence to View Royal

Quality Foods, which began in 1982 as Qualicum Foods in Qualicum Beach, expands their award-winning grocery shopping experience in the Greater Victoria region in just a few short weeks.

As one of three founding partners, Ken Schley believes the time is right for a move into View Royal. “We’re very excited to expand our unique brand of grocery retailing to residents of View Royal and the surrounding communi-ties,” states Schley. ”Eagle Creek Village is destined to be an active hub for the area, and we’re thrilled to be the grocery store for this vibrant multi-use development.”

The island-owned grocery company opened their QF WestShore loca-tion in Langford, their first foray into the Capital Regional District, in July 2014. “The Western Communities have welcomed us with open arms, and we couldn’t be happier with the relationships we have established in the community so far.”

Quality Foods has a well-established presence on Vancouver Island with ten stores north of the Malahat, and another in Powell River. The new 45,000 square foot QF View Royal location positioned on Helmcken Road raises the store count to thirteen. Schley anticipates that it may potentially appeal to residents beyond the Western Communities. “With our close proximity toVictoria General Hospital, we feel that a more diverse group of people will have the opportunity to experience our unique brand of grocery retailing, and hopefully continue to shop with us over time.”

“We will have all of the same features available to shoppers that has made our Langford store an award-winning shopping destination,” says Schley, “with the additional mezzanine floor which will be home to A Step Above, our signature store within a store featuring the best in kitchen, home décor and giftware.”

Thursday, February 25 at 10:00 am is the selected time for the official ribbon cutting and opening doors to the general public. A special sneak pre-view evening, on Wednesday February 24, has been set aside for seniors aged 65+ and those with mobility issues to beat the crowds and experience the store beforehand.

“We are proud of the result of nearly thirty four years of learning, innovat-ing and tweaking that has culminated in what we believe to be a flagship in-dependent store in the grocery industry. The powerful blend of information we have accumulated from our customers’ feedback, applying new methods of doing things - from technology to work flow - and being open to change, even when it’s difficult, has made us stronger as store operators and as peo-ple over the years.”

The Holland Creek Partnership invites citizens of Ladysmith to a public open house on Thurs, February 18

Project consultants will be in attendance to answer any questions.

MAN AIDED, THEN BUSTEDA 49 year-old man was attended to by police and first responders Jan. 7 at 11:34 p.m., after he was reported overdosing on heroin. He was unconscious when first responders arrived on the scene, but regained consciousness be-fore being taken to Nanaimo Regional General Hospital for treatment.

Checks by police revealed the man was wanted on an outstanding warrant. Nanaimo RCMP were contacted and later arrested him at the hospital.PAPERLESS HORSE TRADING CAN BE RISKYThe RCMP are cautioning people to get things in writing “to avoid the pitfalls and frustration” of verbal deals that can lead to misunderstandings.

The warning was issued after a Jan. 11 incident when RCMP were called to investigate a report of a stolen horse from the Hallberg Road and Vowels Road neighbourhood.“After an investigation was conducted it was determined that there was a misunderstanding between the owner and another person for the care and medical treatment provided to the horse, in exchange for the selling price of the horse,” the RCMP report says.“The matter was determined to be a civil case and not criminal.”Police warn that verbal agreements can be considered contracts, but they

are often hard for any agency to enforce, and lead to misunderstandings and court costs. So get it right in writing, even if you do live on ‘Vowels’ road in the Hallberg neigh…bourhood.MAN CHARGED WITH ASSAULT WITH A WEAPONA man has been charged with assault with a weapon, and uttering threats after an incident involving a 32 year-old woman at home with her two year-old child Jan. 20.

RCMP responded to the incident, which occurred in the 12000 block of Ivey Road at 6:40 p.m. The suspect had already left the scene when police arrived. Matthew Michael, 31, was arrested later and a weapon was seized.LOCK YOUR SHEDS AND VEHICLESNumerous thefts, ranging from motorcycles, to hand tools, to loose change, and ‘various other items’ were reported between Jan. 26 and 30 along Chemainus Road and ‘associated side streets.’“These thefts generally occurred in the late evenings and early morning hours,” RCMP report. A grey or silver Dodge diesel engine, full size pickup truck was seen leaving one scene at about 4:30 a.m., states the RCMP report. There was also a report of a man of medium build, about 5’8” tall, in the Branksome Road area at 3:30 a.m. on another occasion. The man wore a hoodie and hiking boots.If you have any information about these cases or other crimes, contact the

Ladysmith RCMP at 250-245-2215 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

The Wounded War-rior’s Run, which sets out from the north-ern tip of Vancouver Island Feb. 21, and finishes up in Victo-ria Feb. 28, will be in Ladysmith Feb. 27 at about 11:30 a.m.

Participants will cover about 600 km over the seven days, stopping in at Legion halls en route, and raising awareness about Post Traumat-ic Stress Disorder (PTSD) along the way.“The goal is not to raise money… but to connect and raise awareness of PTSD. We want to tell people it’s okay to ask for help,” said Jeff Kibble, public relations offi-cer with the run in a Feb. 10 report.

He added that PTSD may not be visible, but has taken a toll on veterans of all ages, in addition to first re-sponders.

Rob Johnson says he’s more a story-teller than a historian, but – good as he is with words

– he’d have a hard time convinc-ing many people in Ladysmith of that.

He’s going to put both his sto-ry-telling and historical skills on the line Feb. 19 when he does a presentation of Lady-smith’s Historic Waterfront, 7 p.m. in the upper room at the Royal Canadian Legion.

His presentation will include slides of ‘150 rarely seen pho-tographs.’A native of Ladysmith, whose

family roots go back three gen-erations, Johnson has been an avid collector of facts about his home and native commu-nity for most of his 70 years.

Ever wondered how Slack Point got its name? Or Trans-fer Beach? What kinds of rec-reational activities early 20th Century citizens partook in where the ocean meets land in Ladysmith Harbour?

Johnson, a member of the Ladysmith Historical Soci-ety, has spent many hours re-searching the industrial and recreational history of what many consider the most im-portant stretch of property in the town’s past, present and for its future.

He has a unique perspective on Ladysmith’s waterfront. For 10 years he delivered harbour tours to hundreds of people.

His talk is part of Heritage Week in Ladysmith Feb. 15 - 21.

Premier Christy Clark has doubled down on her election promise to pay off B.C.’s debt with revenues from liquefied natural gas exports, despite delays in proposed projects in the face of a global glut of oil and gas.

“Success is not for quitters,” declared the government’s speech from the throne, de-livered Tuesday by Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon to open the spring session of the B.C. legislature.

“It is not a choice between keeping B.C.’s natural gas industry stable or deciding to grow it,” the speech said. “We must begin to export, or the 13,000 people who de-pend on this industry today will be out of work.”

NDP leader John Horgan said B.C. Lib-eral losses in two Lower Mainland by-elec-tions show the public isn’t buying Clark’s promises of prosperity.

“The premier said three years ago she was going to create 100,000 jobs with an LNG industry,” Horgan said. “Today she said she hopes to save 13,000 jobs.”

One new initiative in the speech is a re-newed focus on food production, includ-ing an expanded “buy local, grow local” effort involving local governments and community organizations. Farmers are to be offered a tax credit for donating food to non-profits, and an agrifoods conference is to be held in Kelowna in November.

The speech restates the government’s intention to implement recommendations from former deputy minister Bob Plecas to hire more child protection social work-ers and modernize the Ministry of Children and Family Development.

“That work must begin with ending the culture of blame that exists for those pub-lic servants with the most difficult role,” the speech says.

With an election scheduled for 2017 and the last full budget before it to be present-ed Feb. 16, the speech repeats the phrase “stand up for B.C.” that could emerge as a re-election slogan. It also refers to “getting to yes,” a phrase Clark has used frequently in relation to LNG.

YOUR WORDS“What makes these bunnies magical is... the fact that others add to the display for the joy of all.”

speech says

Forgotten taxes shouldbe properly looked intoletters

Editor: Allegations have been

made that realtors have been flipping houses so quickly they ‘forgot’ to pay the taxes, which are re-quired every time a house is sold.

Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Devel-opment Peter Fassbender says he will have the Real Estate Council of B.C. look into it. As I understand it, the Real Estate Council is made up of real estate agents. What Fassbender is planning, in effect, is having those who may be at fault, looking into a situ-ation.

When perhaps tens of millions of dollars are not paid to the government it

is a police matter, and a po-lice investigation ought to be conducted. If required forms are not completed, that is a matter for the po-lice.

There are issues here which may include fraud, tax evasion, money laun-dering and so on. When the average citizen is sus-pected of these crimes we can expect a call from the police. Real estate agents, not so much. Their college gets to decide if they did something wrong.

If this is Premier Christy Clark’s idea of “sticking to the plan”, it’s time she plans on a new career, along with Fassbender and Finance Minister Mike DeJong. We, the taxpayers, are being ripped off.

Rabbit � gurines have a history

Shellie Fischer TrimbleTHE CHRONICLE FACEBOOK PAGE

The bunnies were put on Da-vis Road just before the Christ-mas of 2013. My husband and I were cleaning the yard out, and thought someone would like the bunnies, so placed them by our front driveway for someone who might enjoy them.

But they stuck around, and when the first snow fell, a neighbour must have taken pity on the little guys and wrapped a red scarf around one of the bunnies’ necks. It was cute, and was even better a few days later when another mysterious neighbour placed some baby Christmas socks on the ears of the rabbits, like little toques.

When we saw the children

stopping and interacting with the bunnies and their magical transformation, we knew we had to continue it. They got all dolled up for the Christmas season, and the best part was that the “display” was added to with bits and pieces from passer-bys who gave a bit of themselves to make the dis-play more magical.

In the spring, as rabbits do, the bunnies mysteriously mul-tiplied. I was shocked and laughed out loud to see our three bunnies had now be-come six due to some strang-er’s kindness!

The bunnies celebrated Val-entine’s day, St. Patrick’s Day,

Canada day, camping in the Summer and the fall harvest and Halloween that year...

What makes these bunnies magical is not the displays that one person creates, but the fact that others add to the display for the joy of all. Not to show off, be tacky, or what-ever, but to have something the whole neighbourhood can be part of, and add to, and can have fun with.

So, to answer your question in brief, no one person takes care of the bunnies, and I hope all will feel free to con-tinue their story as they see fit. We enjoy these updates in Yel-lowknife when we get them!

After receiving a tip about a klatch of bunnies, celebrating Valentines in a box by the side of Davis Road, the Chronicle asked for information in a Facebook post. Shellie Fischer Trimble and her husband origi-nated this delightful neighbour-hood tradition, and still enjoy following their furry friends from Yellowknife, where they now live.

B&B ‘Red Chair’ in Ladysmith Feb. 20Staff WriterTHE CHRONICLE

The Red Chair is coming to Ladysmith, and Hawley Place B&B owners Rhonda and Ed Shirley are looking for your ideas about where to take it.

From Feb. 20 to 26 one of the world’s most famous pieces of furniture will be placed in various Ladysmith and area setting, where it will be photographed, with the descriptions of its sojourn here placed on the RedChairTrav-els.com web site.“Bed and breakfast hosts photograph The Red Chair at some of the favourite spots that our guests come to see and experience, and then post the pho-tos on the internet to promote both our beautiful area and our bed and breakfast,” said the Shirleys.

The project has been ongoing since the win-ter of 2011, with most

of the Red Chair’s stops in the United States. But this win-ter the chair is in BC, traveling in the Lower Mainland, Thompson-Okanagan and on Van-couver Island.

The Shirleys hope to make its Ladysmith stay memorable.“With the Red Chair in tow, we are hoping to make an adventure of places and people while promoting our beautiful seaside town and area,” they said.

They will be taking a stroll along First Ave.,

“stopping for a cinna-mon bun, and possibly a lunch or refreshment at one of our local res-taurants” before mak-ing “a quick stop at the Ladysmith Museum.”

Of course you have to take in the view of Ladysmith Harbour from Transfer Beach, maybe even take a short kayak trip and have a picnic lunch. The Waterfront Gallery is a stop the Red Chair

will want to make, said the Shirleys, “and now that the Ladysmith Arts Council has installed an elevator, it will be easier for the honoured seat to get upstairs.”“Then to the LMS dock,” the Shirleys said. “We might even be able to go out for the Harbour Tour to get a close up of the 49th Parallel.”

A trip out to Yellow-point is certainly in the works, with a walk out to the sandstone shoreline at Roberts Memorial Park, and a stop for refreshment at The Crow and Gate Pub.“A short hike on the

Holland Creek Trail is a necessity,” they said, “although we may have to have a rest before continu-ing our tour.”

Ladysmith Little The-atre, the Chemainus Mu-rals, and the Chemainus Theatre Festival, the Stz’uminus First Na-tion… there’s lots to

see and do, and the Shirleys are looking for suggestions. Email them to [email protected].“The purpose is to showcase our pretty town and area, both for potential tourists and locals,” the Shir-leys said.

Eight to 10 photos from the visit will be posted on the red-chairtravels.com web-site, along with videos, pictures, blog posts, and stories.

The visit will also be shared on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest, for the world to see.

Grads from Ladysmith Secondary School, who want to apply for finan-cial awards from the Nanaimo-Ladysmith Schools Foundation, have just a few days to get their applications in.

The deadline for schol-arships, bursaries and awards is Friday, Feb. 26., says a release from the NLSF.“Because of gener-

ous local donors, the Schools Foundation is able to assist local students with the cost of higher education,” said Crystal Dennison, NLSF executive direc-tor.“There are many

scholarships, bursaries and awards available to high school gradu-ates with good marks and who are active in the community, excel in sports, are interest-ed in pursuing specific areas of study, or who have a financial need,” she said.“We encourage stu-dents to apply for as many awards as appro-priate for them.”

Funds for the finan-cial awards are pro-vided by local service clubs, community or-ganizations and private donors to encourage Grade 12 students from Nanaimo Ladysmith public schools to con-

tinue their education at a college, institute, or university.

Last June, NLSF distributed a total of $474,500 in financial awards to 373 high school students to help them pursue their dream of post-second-ary education. Awards ranged from $100 to $5,000.

Anyone interested in donating funds for a student award is en-couraged to contact Dennison at 250-753-4074.

The 2016 awards in-formation and secure online application form are available at www.NLSF.ca.

The Clean House = a messy state of affairs


To really earn the praises of your fans, you have to take chanc-es, and Ladysmith Lit-tle Theatre has done it again with its pro-duction of The Clean House by Sarah Ruhl.

This is one of those plays where the hu-mour – as the best, most sophisticated humour usually does – cuts pret-ty close to the nerve. It teeters on the brink of not being funny, which makes it both hilarious and poignant.

Director Brian March has done a skillful job interpreting the nuanc-es of this play.

It pits the neuroses of middle class North American culture against the wild, carnival streak of Latin culture in the form of a Brazilian housekeeper, Matilde (Larissa Coser), who has been hired by a doctor couple, Lane (Kathleen Ramsay) and her husband Charles (Vic Duffhues) to dust, clean and generally tidy up.

Problem is, Matilde doesn’t like house-

cleaning; all she’s in-terested in is develop-ing her comic routine and coming up with the best joke in the world.

Enter Lane’s under-achieving sister Vir-ginia (Wendy Wearne), for whom housekeep-ing is the only escape from the fear and loathing of self aware-ness, and the cast is almost complete.All that’s needed

to round it out is a glamorous and un-avoidably sexy fellow Portuguese-speaker for Charles to fall in love with, and Matilde to bond with by the name of Ana (Bar-bara Metcalfe) and the house of cards is ready for its inevitable collapse.

The Clean House zeros in on the holier

– or perhaps just plain better – than thou Vic-torian mind-set that still has a hold on the North American psyche. Lane, whose arrogance is disguised as the self-sacrifice of a busy professional life, ultimately comes to the shocking con-clusion that what she

took for love in her husband’s eyes when they were young up-and-comers was only ‘respect,’ that, in fact, their relationship nev-er lived up to the pas-sion of real love, that it was more a text-book example of suc-cess in the absence of passion.

Thursday, Feb. 11, was opening night, and the first few scenes were a bit shaky. But it wasn’t long before the actors got into their stride and the perfor-mances become thor-oughly convincing.

Larissa Coser played the role of Matilde with panache, cap-

turing the fiery Latin temper in her per-formance. Wendy Wearne, as the pres-surized neurotic Vir-ginia, also puts in a strong performance.

The Clean House is on at Ladysmith Little Theatre until Feb. 28. More information at ladysmiththeatre.com.

LUKASCH, Oskar Karl March 6, 1930 – February 3, 2016

Oskar Karl Lukasch Born in East Ger-many on March 6, 1930 and passed away suddenly on February 3, 2016 at the Co-wichan District Hospital in Duncan, BC. Predeceased by his loving wife Sonja in 2008. Survived by his son Peter (Veron-ica) Lukasch, grandson Thomas Lukasch, great granddaughter Payton and his sister Heidi.Oskar’s family fled Czechoslovakia during the Russian advances during the end of WW 2. He settled close to Wertheim, Ger-many (south of Frankfurt) where he worked in a brewery. In 1949 he took on an apprentice ship as a cabinet maker/finish carpenter.Oskar married Sonja Kuch in 1955. They had one son Peter born in 1956. Oskar and Sonja immigrated to Vancouver in late 1956 and he worked in his trade at B.C. Hardwood & Millwork in the west end close to Stanley Park. He then moved to Saltair, close to Porters Farm and 2 years later to Maple Bay.Oskar worked for M&B during the construction of the Bare Point generating station in Chemainus, and also at BCFP in Crofton during construction of the Kraft Mill. He then worked as an equipment operator in the Chip Supply department. He then moved back to Saltair in 1964 where he lived in a house that he built himself and would become their permanent home. Sonja passed away in 2008.Oskar retired in 1990 after over 33 years in the Crofton Pulp Mill. Oskar and his wife Sonja loved to travel with many trips to Ha-waii, Mexico, California (Palm Springs was a favourite), cross Canada, Australia & Europe. Oskar loved the outdoors and the simple pleasures in life. He and Sonja lived a healthy active life. Cutting and stockpiling firewood was one of his pleasures. He had a keen interest in anything mechanical and enjoyed main-taining his vehicles to perfection. He was a tireless worker and all projects were done in a meticulous manner, with great crafts-manship and attention to detail. I cannot ever recall him doing a job twice. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Irene Kroke, Gordie McAulay and Deane Thorpe for helping Oskar and his grandson Thomas for being with him at the end. Thank you also to Lisa, for being his walking buddy and to his excellent and kind neighbours on Gardner Road in Saltair.No service by request. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the charity of your choice.

If you like paddling, or beach combing, or just being near the ocean, you’ll want to take a look at two very handy – as in pocket sized and waterproof – accor-dion booklets put out by Harbour Publishing.A Field Guide to Common Fishes of the Pacific

Northwest, by Andy Lamb, Bernard Hanby and Phil Edgell will help you identify 76 saltwater fish.

To help you learn a little about the environment those fish swim in, you can pick up A field Guide to Seaweeds of the Pacific Northwest by Dr. Bridgette Clarkston.

Each of these guides is about the size of a brochure, but opens out to 16 information rich pages.At $7.95 they are an inexpensive introduction to

our ocean environment, good for “fishermen, divers, beachcombers and anyone interested in the marine life that fills our surrounding waters.”

For anyone wanting to delve deeper into the ocean environment, the Common Fishes guide recommends two other Harbour publications: Coastal Fishes of the Pacific Northwest, and Marine Life of the Pacific Northwest.

Common Fishes is strictly an identification guide, with some very basic information about who is likely to see or use each species.Along with a photo and brief description, the entries

are accompanied by symbols that indicate the spe-cies is of interest, and likely to be encountered by: recreational fishermen,sport divers, commercial har-vesters, beachcombers and naturalists, or as seafood.

The Copper rockfish which appears on the cover, for example, is described as having the Latin name Sebastes Caurnus. It grows to 66 cm, and the white along its lower rear sides and belly area is distinctive. It’s of interest and likely to be encountered by just about everyone reading the guide.

The guide to seaweeds takes a more educational ap-proach, talking in general about seaweeds, their en-vironments, their parts and how they function, and what their uses might be.“Seaweeds are, in many ways, the plants of the sea,” the guide begins. “They have leaf, stem and root-like parts, make their own food using photosynthesis and create coastal marine meadows and forests that pro-vide shelter and food for an amazing array of ocean life.“Yet seaweeds are different from land plants…”Discovering how, and what unique adaptations they

have made to live in the ocean, is the pleasure and insight this handy pocket guide has to offer.

You can ask for the Pacific Northwest guides to fish and seaweeds at your favorite bookstore, and get more information at harbourpublishing.com.
