Pat Edge was a ‘model volunteer’

Food drive honours Kit Willmot’s work

You can’t look very far without find-ing an organization in Ladysmith that has been touched by Pat Edge.

An active and dedicated volunteer, Edge, who passed away June 29, is being remembered for her pas-sion for helping others, particularly seniors.

Edge was instrumental in start-ing up the Seniors Office at the Ladysmith Resources Centre Association (LRCA).“Pat became really involved in it

when she took on the role of being the go-to person for seniors and seniors programming,” said LRCA executive director Dennis Lait. “She was at the centre almost every day. She was a model volunteer — you couldn’t ask for a better volunteer

because of her commitment to what she did and to seniors.“What I think about Pat is she’ll be

missed at the Resources Centre, and it’s been a tremendous loss for this community and seniors in particular with her passing.”

While Edge did all this work, her husband Gordon was always by her side, and often Edge received recog-nition for her work, but her husband wasn’t mentioned, noted Lait.“We found that Pat was one of those

people who didn’t want to take the credit for everything she did,” he said. “When that recognition was identified and shared as recognizing her contribution and her husband’s, that was one of the greatest plea-sures she could get.”

In August 2010, Edge’s leader-ship and experience working with

Maureen Martin met Kit Willmot before she had even moved to Ladysmith, and she was “just fasci-nated” by how much he knew about the town.

Martin, who is president of the Ladysmith and District Historical Society, had purchased a house in Ladysmith in 1996 with her husband Garry. Martin was interested in his-tory and in getting to know the town, and she found Willmot’s name as the only contact for the Ladysmith Historical Society. She phoned him from Vancouver, Willmot invited the Martins to visit him the next time they were in Ladysmith.“I was fascinated by him because

he knew so much,” said Martin. “We went to his place, and he was digging

out this and that — he was just so interesting.”

Willmot’s incredible knowledge of Ladysmith’s history and his passion for his community are being remem-bered this week after he passed away July 3.

Willmot, who was born Aug. 10, 1925, in London, England, was well-known for his work with the Ladysmith and District Historical Society.

He was the society’s corresponding secretary up until about a month ago when he said he was too ill to con-tinue this role.“He held the historical society

together during a period of time when it would have ceased to exist if it wasn’t for him, and we’re forever grateful for that,” said Martin.

Martin nominated Willmot for the Citizen of the Year award, which he

Community rallies to help Cedar family

and for seniors were recognized when she w a s a p p o i n t e d t o the National Seniors Council for a three-year term. The National Seniors Council pro-vides advice to the federal government on matters related to the well-being and qual-ity of life of Canada’s seniors, and only 12 members are appoint-ed.“Pat’s knowledge and

experience dealing with seniors was sec-ond to none,” said Lait.

“You might be able to categorize her work with seniors as being a passion.”

Edge volunteered for the Community Policing Station since its beginnings in 1997.

She was an active volunteer until 2011, serving with Citizens on Patrol for seven and a half years and with Speed Watch for three and a half years, as well as working one half-day a week in the Community Policing Station.“She was very giving,”

said Audrey Ballegeer, the volunteer co-ordi-nator with Community

Policing, who knew Edge since she began volunteering. “She was a very likeable lady, and how to describe somebody like that is very hard. We’ll miss her, that’s for sure.”

E d g e w a s n a m e d Community Policing Volunteer of the Year in 1998.“She gave of herself

qu i te f ree ly, ” sa id Ballegeer. “She was just a special lady.”

Ballegeer says Edge enjoyed the social aspects of volunteer-ing with Community P o l i c i n g , a n d s h e brought people skills and the ability to deal

with anybody who walked through the door in a kind manner to her work. Also, Edge was always “on top of everything” when it came to referring peo-ple to resources in the community, she noted.“She brought herself

here to Community Policing as a kind and compassionate person and brought her people skills,” said Ballegeer.

“She was a great lady.”Edge was also a long-

time member of the Ladysmith Health Care Auxiliary.“She was involved in

so many things in the community,” said auxil-

iary president Lil Kroll. “It’s a tremendous loss.”

Edge was born Oct. 6, 1932, in Prince Rupert. H e r f a m i l y m o v e d to Calgary two years later.

Edge met her future husband while in Grade 12, and she and Gordon married in Calgary in 1953. They were mar-ried for nearly 55 years and had two daugh-ters.

The Edges retired to Ladysmith in September 1995, and they both q u i c k l y b e c a m e involved in their com-munity through various volunteer positions.

Edge was a mem-ber of the Old Age Pensioners Branch No. 9. She and her husband helped Meals on Wheels, and Edge was a member of the Ladysmith Probus Club.

E d g e r e c e i v e d many accolades and awards, including the Queen’s Jubilee Medal for Volunteerism in 2002. She was named Ladysmith Citizen of the Year in 2006. Most recent ly, she was named as a Fellow of the Canadian Payroll Association in 2011.

won in 2005.“He’s such a fixture,”

she said. “He’s just done so many things for this town. He was really quiet, but he was always busily doing something.”

Wi l l m o t a n d h i s wife Molly moved to Ladysmith in 1989. Willmot quickly became very involved in his community. He wrote historical articles for the local media, helped produce the Ladysmith centennial book and worked with Viola Cull to produce a Ladysmith history book.

Willmot also volun-teered with Meals on Wheels, the Ladysmith Health Care Auxiliary, t h e M o r d e n M i n e Society and St. John’s Anglican Church.

Willmot played an important role in start-ing the Ladysmith Food Bank in 1998.“Kit was instrumental

in getting all that up and was part of that initial group that for-mulated the running

of the food bank,” said Dennis Lait, execu-tive director of the Ladysmith Resources Centre Association.

L a i t s a y s w h a t Willmot brought most to the food bank was his passion.“He was very dedi-

cated to volunteer-ism, and he was very dedicated to helping other people,” he said.

“I would think that his dedication was almost infectious. He inspired other people to be involved. I think that

would probably be the biggest thing.”

On behalf of the food bank, a few individu-als are organizing a food drive as a trib-ute to Willmot and all he contributed to the food bank and to the community. Willmot knew about the food drive before he passed away.“We wanted to do something so he knew we appreciate what he’s done,” said Rob Johnson, one of the organizers of Kit ’s

Last Food Drive. “This is one way that some of the hundreds, if not thousands, of people that have benefited from Kit’s dedication to the food bank over the years can show their appreciation.”

Kit’s Last Food Drive is running until this Sunday (July 15), and people can drop off donations at the 49th Parallel Grocery Store or Safeway or contact Johnson at [email protected].

People can also bring food and cash dona-tions to the Concerts at the Park performance t h i s S u n d a y f r o m 6-8 p.m. at Transfer Beach. “It’s just a way of say-

ing to Kit ‘we appreci-ate you, we thank you, and we want to honour what you’ve done,’” said Johnson.

T h e T o w n o f Ladysmith plans to establish a permanent recognition display of outstanding citizens, and the first plaque will be in Willmot’s name.

Seniors’ advocate remembered

Willmot was ‘such a fi xture’Ladysmith area residents are rally-

ing around the family of five-year-old Jaedyn Amann, who was struck by a falling soccer goal post in Watson Lake, Yukon, last Wednesday.

According to Chief Coroner Kirsten MacDonald, Amann was playing on a high school soccer field with friends when the net tipped over and hit her on the back of the head. She was rushed to hospital where she suc-cumbed to her injuries. The RCMP are still investigating the incident.

Born in Nanaimo, Jaedyn is the eldest child of Paul Amann and Tara Hicks.

Hilda Brown, Jaedyn’s great grand-mother, said the family is well-known in Ladysmith and resides in Cedar during the winter season.“Jaedyn was about to start kinder-

garten out in the Cedar district,” she said.

Outpourings of donations and sup-port have already begun surfacing in the community. A trust fund account has been set up at the Island Savings at Coronation Mall, and plans are in the works for a garage sale and beer and burger night.“We can’t ease their pain, but maybe

we can help with the financial bur-den,” said Necole Young, a family friend who is organizing the garage sale and burger night.

Young said enough donations of goods have already started coming in that they will be holding a silent auction during the beer and burger night. That includes more than $1,000 in gift baskets, a $200 photography certificate and a tattoo certificate. “It started with three people and

all of a sudden, I had over 25 peo-

ple offering their help,” she said. “Everybody knows the family.”

Young is still hoping to gather together more gently-used items for the garage sale. A date and place had not been set by press time.

Brown described Jaedyn as a petite little lady who loved to visit her grandparents and be active.“She played soccer with her buddies

and loved it,” she said. “Jay, as we called her, loved spending time with her special cousin Mercedez, the two girls giggling while her younger brother Parker tagged along. There are many precious memories.”

Yukon Education Minister Scott Kent sent out a news release Friday expressing condolences to the fam-ily and stating that the Department of Education is conducting its own investigation into the incident “to see what actions they can take to contribute to increased safety.”

As a short-term precaution, all movable soccer nets in the area are being removed for a thorough safety assessment.

Brown said she hopes that further lives will be spared the same tragedy, and she advised parents to cherish every moment.“Hug your kids,” she said tearfully.To find out how you can help with

the Fundraiser for Jaedyn, contact Necole at 250-618-8344 and stay tuned to the Chronicle for further details.An Epicure Fundraiser is also

being held, with 100 per cent of the proceeds going to the cause. For more information, contact Jenny at [email protected]. An account has also been opened

up at the Junction Bottle Depot in Jaedyn’s name for anyone wishing to donate their empties.

Celebrating Legion Week

The Royal Canadian Le-gion opened its doors in communities across B.C. and the Yukon during Legion Week June 24-30. These community celebrations showcased the charitable and vol-unteer contributions of Legion members and the ladies auxil-iaries. The Ladysmith and Chemainus Legions both held open houses during Legion Week.In top photo, Keith and Penny Fletcher take a moment to sign up with membership chair Di-ane West (right) during the Ladysmith Legion’s open house on June 30.In bottom photo, Chemainus Legion vol-unteers serve up some tasty chicken burgers, hamburgers and hot dogs during the Legion’s open house on June 27.


For the past four years, Jack Rumney of Nanaimo has been flying in and out of the Nanaimo Airport every 10 days for a job as a pipe fitter in Fort McMurray.

But none of those flights were quite as exciting as the flight he took Tues., July 3 when he was identi-fied as the Nanaimo Airport’s one-millionth passenger as part of the airport’s A Million and Beyond campaign.“It feels great; it feels terrific,” Rumney told reporters in the termi-nal building. “I was sit-ting in the passenger lounge, and I just went to my tablet, and Mike [Hooper, the airport’s CEO and president] introduced me, and it was quite a surprise. I’m still in shock.”

Staff at the Nanaimo A i r p o r t k n e w t h e millionth passenger would be flying on an incoming or outgoing flight July 3, so each passenger travelling on those two flights received a millionth passenger gift pack, which included a trav-el journal, a liquids travel set and a reus-able storage pouch for ear buds.

Rumney had his name drawn as the millionth passenger and received a leather weekend bag and a bottle of cham-pagne, along with the gift pack.He also quali-fied for a chance to win $1 million in the air-port’s Thanks A Million contest.

I n t h e T h a n k s A M i l l i o n c o n t e s t ,

Rumney and 30 others — who have qualified through weekly draws

— will be invited to the Nanaimo Airport’s Thanks A Million event July 26 and will have one attempt to win $1 million by opening a safe by cracking the five-digit code.

They wil l also be eligible for other priz-es, including a one-year lease of a Jetta f rom Harbourv iew Volkswagen, a one-week stay at Origin at Longwood, a 47-inch LED Samsung TV from McKays Home Theatre Centres, a pair of sea-son tickets to the 2012-13 Spotlight Series at the Port Theatre, $25 gift certificates from Mr. Mikes and golf goody bags from Canadian Western Bank.

When asked what he thinks his chances are of winning the $1 mil-lion, Rumney remarked they are “better than yesterday.”“I feel great,” he said.

“I feel lucky.”Hooper was excited

to celebrate this mile-stone with the com-munity.“Really, what the mil-

lionth passenger pro-gram is about is saying thank you to the com-munity for supporting the Nanaimo Airport,” he said. “We’ve had record years the last two years, and we’re on track for another record year in 2012. We ’ v e g o n e f r o m 70-per-cent reliability to over-99-per-cent reli-ability for all of 2011, so we’re starting to better service the community and the community in return is starting to use Nanaimo Airport

more and more for their transportation decisions.”

The Gaining Altitude — A M i l l i o n a n d Beyond campaign is the next step in the a i rpor t ’s managed growth strategy that saw the completion of a two-phase expansion plan between 2006 and 2011. During that time, 913,000 passengers travelled through the Nanaimo Airport.

Along with a larger terminal, more park-ing and faster pas-senger screening and baggage handling, the 2011 completion of the airport expansion plan also extended its runways to accommo-date commercial jet landings and added high-intensity runway lights, lead-in lights and a new instrument land-ing system to improve all-weather reliability.

LINDSAY CHUNG/CHRONICLE

BC Ferries has begun its summer schedule, ramping up sailings

for the vacation season that is crucial to the fleet’s bot-tom line.

It’s been rough sailing for BC Ferries so far this year. The corporation released its financial results in June, reporting a net loss of $16.5 million, compared to net earnings of $3.8 million the previous year. Last year’s earnings were boosted by the sale of the former cor-porate headquarters for $9.3 million, preventing a loss there as well.

In the fiscal year that ended March 31, vehicle traffic was down 3.5 per cent, and walk-on passengers were down 2.8 per cent. BC Ferries is forecasting a “small loss” for this year as well.

The spring “Coast Saver” sale has just ended. That’s a 37-per-cent discount offered Fridays through Mondays, May 25 to June 25 on the major runs from

the mainland to Victoria and Nanaimo. The discounts allowed a foot passenger to cross for $9.95 and a car and driver for $39.95.

I asked BC Ferries CEO Mike Corrigan last week how the sale went. He didn’t have final figures yet, but he allowed that the boost in traffic was “marginal.”

It’s the second year that the spring sale has been offered over weekends, when people are more likely to travel. But instead of generating addi-tional trips, Corrigan said the main effect has been to shift traffic from midweek to weekends.

One of the primary reasons for this spring’s poor perfor-mance is the lousy weather that kept people at home. Gasoline at $1.40 a litre is another big one. Hotels and other tourism services tell the same story.

Here’s another problem: student traffic on the fer-ries was down by a third this spring, because teach-ers cancelled field trips as part of their lengthy work-to-rule campaign.

The simplistic political debate about ferry service starts and ends with rising fares, with occasional fits of temper over executive sala-ries, and ignores the other factors. Just cut the fares and increase the taxpayer subsidy, say the NDP and their local echo chambers.

Taxpayers are already pitching in an extra $80 mil-lion this year, bringing the subsidy to the ferries close to $200 million. That’s how Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom sweetened the pot as he unveiled new powers for B.C. Ferry Commissioner Gord Macatee to set service levels and regulate fares.

Macatee’s task now is to travel the coast and endure the demands of island dwell-ers who want the rest of us to subsidize their splendid isolation. The proposition for them will boil down to this: You can pay more or you can have fewer sail-ings. And where the boat is a third full, you will have fewer sailings.

This consultation period is an opportunity to ask some

hard questions. For instance, does Saltspring Island really need three ferry terminals? And why is there no passen-ger-only service?

Macatee’s term as commis-sioner started with a detailed review last year that pointed to some other ways to save serious money. But CEO Corrigan says there are no quick fixes.

FortisBC has offered an $11 million incentive for conversion of marine ves-sels to natural gas, which would give the fleet sig-nificant relief from spiral-ing fuel costs. But a ferry conversion would take six months or more, and anoth-er vessel would be needed in the meantime.

Another promising sugges-tion is overhauling the ferry reservation service, making reservations free and charg-ing extra for those who just show up. Corrigan says a computer reservation over-haul is underway, but it will take three years.

There’s a Czech proverb that says “do not pro-tect yourself from grief by a fence, but rather by your friends.”

And in the past week, members of our com-munity have been gathering as friends —

whether they know each other or not — to try to offer some comfort to those suffering loss.

In the face of sadness and tragedy, our community is responding the best way possible — by coming together to help each other while honouring the lives of those we’ve lost.

As soon as they heard about five-year-old Jaedyn Amann’s tragic death at a soccer field in the Yukon, family and friends started setting up a trust fund for parents Tara Hicks and Paul Amann and began planning ways to raise money for the family. Details haven’t been finalized yet, but there will be a garage sale and beer and burger night. An account has also been set up at the bottle depot. There aren’t many words you can offer at a time like this, but you can try to help make sure they have one less thing to worry about and show them our support.

Ladysmith lost two very prominent citizens to illness in Pat Edge and Kit Willmot in the last 10 days or so as well. They both contributed so much to the community and were tireless volunteers, giving so much of themselves to help others through many different organizations and groups.

Willmot’s death has also spawned action in the com-munity.

A group of individuals have started Kit’s Last Food Drive on behalf of the Ladysmith Food Bank to raise money and food for an important community service that Willmot was instrumental in founding. Donations can be dropped off at the 49th Parallel Grocery Store and Safeway until Sunday, and donations will be collected at Sunday’s Concerts in the Park performance at Transfer Beach.

The food drive is a way to thank Willmot for all he has done and to do something good for others in his name.

If anything positive can come out of death, it is stories such as these about rallying together.

Editor:

Garry and I purchased our home in Ladysmith in 1996. We had ten-ants the first five years, but I was interested in history and in getting involved in the town in which we planned to retire. So I phoned a

gentleman named Kit Willmot, whose phone number was the only contact with the Ladysmith Historical Society that I could find. Kit invited us to drop by his home on our next visit to Ladysmith.

We spent a fascinating hour with Kit, who was the only member of the Historical Society at that time. He had done an incredible amount of research and was a veritable encyclopedia of information about Ladysmith.

By the time we actually moved here in 2001, the Historical Society was two years into its rebirth. Terry Pollock had been elected president, with Kit as correspond-ing secretary, and the group was now meeting regularly. I started attending right away. Those were interesting meetings — with Ray Knight attending and bringing us fascinating bits of Ladysmith’s his-tory each month.

Kit was always a part of it. He had recorded most of the graves in the Ladysmith cemetery. He seemed to be our resident expert on just about everything — tracing the history of many of the town’s buildings, learning and sharing about the interesting people who made up this town.

After the Archives was started about four years ago, Kit could mostly be found back in the “stacks” researching something or another. He added to his store of knowledge daily. He never stopped learning and searching.

We will miss Kit’s quiet presence in our lives. Things just won’t be the same without him.

Editor: When you run for public office

as a school trustee, you run to make things better for students or you run to help your political friends.

Your job is to do your creative best with what you have. That means you have to support initia-tives that will best meet the stu-dents’ needs. That means doing things differently.

Special needs student are often the center of the debate, being identified as the cause for teach-

er stress. Yet, we do not address the fact that the “inclusionary” model is extremely expensive but not working very well. Special needs students need special needs schools staffed by teachers and aides trained to meet special needs.

Isn’t it time to reconstruct the education system in B.C.?

Let’s start with a new calendar. Like in Britain, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, basically six weeks in session and two-week breaks. Then, let’s develop new curricula that reflect the needs of this century, one that gives the trades equal importance with the university track. The kids can-not wait for education to keep up with them and train them for their future.

I was proud to be a trustee, and I know four others in Cowichan who understand the true role of trusteeship and who stood up for the students and taxpayers.

Letters and Your View policy

Last week, the Town of Ladysmith and the Stz’uminus First Nation took another step to strengthen their com-mitment to working together by signing a Co-operation Protocol.

The two communities

signed the protocol July 3, and its purpose is “to continue to develop the co-operative relation-ship that exists between the communities and form an agreement to pursue initiatives of common interest.”

In announcing the signing at the July 3 council meeting, Mayor

Rob Hutchins explained this is one of two docu-ments called for in the renewed Community Accord that the Town and Stz’uminus First Nation signed May 25.

T h e o t h e r d o c u -ment called for in the Community Accord is a Memorandum of Understanding, which

Hutchins hopes will come forward in the next 30 days.

The objectives of the Co-operation Protocol are to establish an effective government-to-government working relationship between the communities and other agencies, promote efficiency and effective-ness in the working rela-tionship between the communities, establish an ongoing policy-level and technical-level dia-logue, establish infor-mation-sharing and co-operative planning processes, establish a consultation process, and help the communi-ties secure the financial resources necessary to support their partici-pation in this protocol and the projects they undertake.

P u r s u a n t t o t h i s protocol, the Town

o f L a d y s m i t h a n d Stz’uminus First Nation will work together to identify and undertake projects that will pro-vide social, economic and environmental benefits to both com-munities.

They will also work to enhance awareness of the communities’ history and culture so it may be more effec-tively reflected in their activities.

They will plan, man-age and use lands and resources so that their use respects aborigi-nal interests, as well as general community interests. The communi-ties will also build good governance structures, processes and proce-dures and share public administration capacity where it is feasible.

A Steering Committee with representatives

from the Town and from Stz’uminus will be established to imple-ment the protocol.

T h e T o w n a n d Stz’uminus First Nation have agreed upon a number of joint initia-tives for further dis-cussion. These include approval of the Liquid Waste Management Plan; a water/sewer services agreement f o r I R 1 2 ( O y s t e r Bay) and IR 13 (Shell Beach); a Holland Lake-Stocking Lake Pipeline Agreement; watershed management; opera-tional services, such as building inspection and water meter read-ing; boundary exten-sion; cleaning up the Ladysmith Harbour; a DL 651 (the Dog Patch) partnership; uniform bylaws regarding the protection of environ-ment if desired; explor-

ing mutual funding opportunities; Official Community Plan con-sultation; development of south Ladysmith Stz’uminus land; an Incremental Treaty Process; Waste Water Treatment Plant capac-ity; the inclusion of First Nations heritage and culture; and emer-gency preparedness.

Coun. Steve Arnett noted that this proto-col is “historic,” and he thanked Hutchins for his leadership.“This is truly a joint

leadership, and my hat goes off to the c h i e f a n d c o u n c i l o f t h e S t z ’ u m i n u s First Nation,” replied Hutchins. “We have accomplished more in the last year and par-ticularly within the last six months, I think, than we had accomplished in decades before.”

Chemainus Giant Street Market bigger than ever

The Chemainus Giant Street Market held on Sat., July 7 was the biggest ever for vendors, say organizers. More than 120 vendors lined Willow Street with 148 stalls, and market-goers found everything from deco-rative swords to baked goods. At right, a couple browses through the beautiful wooden roses of Forever Young Wooden Roses. Above, siblings Julia, Lucas and Dayton Vandepeear get up close and personal with Harry the Swainson Hawk from Pacifi c Northwest Raptors in Cowichan, who was visiting the market with his handler Nick.

The Ladysmith Arts Council and Ladysmith Waterfront Gallery are pleased to announce

July’s exhibition: Proud

Tradition and West

Coast Living.The show is intended

to arouse your senses with all things West Coast — the natural life around us that includes

the ocean, mountains, islands, lush forests, mountains, farmlands, etc. In addition, we

have local Coast Salish artists displaying their work that is rich in sym-bolism and connection

with the natural environment —

“four-leggeds, two-leggeds, winged ones” — the ani-mals and birds of the West Coast.

One of those artists, Jason Harris, is a Stz’uminus First Nation carver. He grew up in both Ladysmith and Stz’uminus and describes himself as a beginning carver. However, his work belies his sense of new-ness to the art.

H is works in the show include a white five-foot Spirit Bear carved from red cedar and coming to life in its stature. Also, he has a Welcome Figure, a child-sized figure wear-ing a paddler’s jacket depicted with oars and with abalone eyes. Both pieces are painted in traditional tones that evoke the sense of the long history and origi-nal cultures that sur-round Ladysmith and Vancouver Island.

Harris also has small-er carved plaques of Hummingbird, Eagle, Tribal paddles, Baby Seal and a Bear mask.

Harr is notes that he was inspired by his father, carver Joe Harris, and later by Cowichan carver Simon Charlie. He has carved masks, plaques, totem poles and other three-dimensional figures, such as the Spirit Bear

and Welcome Figure.He gradually found

his love and his gift through carving, and this art has inspired him to be thoroughly involved in the world around him. Harris is an active member of the Stz’uminus community, where he contributes by being involved in the Men’s Group. The orga-nization meets once a week to assist others around the commu-nity by painting fences, fundraising and donat-ing to the children’s organizations and cul-tural gatherings.

His work — and his life — is about giving back to the community and culture that sur-rounds him.

Harris plans to contin-ue carving, and a goal of his is to learn to paint and use acrylics as well. He recently won a logo contest for the logo for the Stz’uminus soccer team. He said he has always felt welcome at the Ladysmith Arts Council, and it is hoped that his presence in shows continues.

Please do view this exhibition until July 29 and take in Jason Harris’s work and work by other local artists.

Jason Harris is exhibiting his work at the July exhi-bition at the Ladysmith Waterfront Gallery.

Fans of bluegrass and old-time acoustic music are in for quite a treat this weekend in Chemainus.

T h e C h e m a i n u s Bluegrass Festival, scheduled for July 14 and 15, will feature some great names in those musical genres.

The band Runaway Train will be visit-ing from Washington, allowing Vancouver Island audiences to enjoy the banjo wizard-ry of 17-year-old Luke Dewhirst. Dewhirst has been sponsored by OME banjos since the age of seven and is a winner of the Rockygrass banjo con-test in Colorado.

Runaway Train also features upright bassist Kent Powell, previous-ly of the popular band Crossfire, with whom Powell played at the Bluegrass Showdown in Owensborough, Kentucky. The band is rounded out with well-known northwest blue-grass stalwart Greg Linder on guitar and vocals and mandolin-ist Nolan Elwell.

T h e C h e m a i n u s Bluegrass Festival will be presenting the June Bugs from Calgary. This is a five-piece band which provides a unique and unfor-gettable sound with its four-part, all-female harmonies. The four ladies — Renay Eng-Fisher on upright bass, Audrey Guagliano on mandolin and guitar, Sue Anne Borer on autoharp and Christie Simmons on guitar and banjo — are joined by

accomplished fiddler Billy Zee, whose rich bass voice adds to the female harmonies.

Vancouver Island audiences wi l l no doubt be fami l iar with the Clover Point Drifters, among the finest of B.C. blue-grass bands.

One of the group’s notable features is the outstanding sound of Larry Stevens with his resophonic slide guitar, which helps give the Drifters such appeal. G e o r g e R o b i n s o n provides many of the lead vocals, as well as

some wonderful work with his upright bass. Robinson’s bass is actu-ally a bit of Canadian musical history, having been originally played by Duke Neilson of Don Messer’s Islanders. Banjoist Mike Kraft is known in the Victoria area not only for blue-grass, but also for his guitar work with a vari-ety of country, rocka-billy and blues bands. Alan Law provides the guitar and many vocals, while mandolinist Dan Parker will entertain with his bl istering solos.

The Maple Mountain Boys will be a special treat for the Chemainus crowd. Jeff Ellis will be providing the man-dolin and fiddle, along with some of the vocals. Ellis is originally from Moneta, Va., where he was Viginia state champion of both gui-tar and upright bass. He is from a musical family, his father Ricky having been a five-time world mandolin champion. Ellis has travelled extensively with top bands, includ-ing award-winning

Bluegrass bands gathering in Chemainus this weekend

Runaway Train is one of the featured bands at this year’s Chemainus Bluegrass Festival, which is taking place this Saturday at Waterwheel Park and Sunday at the Chemainus Legion.

See Festival Page 14

Community art showcase

One of them is a native Hawaiian who cut his teeth playing guitar for some of the legends of his beloved Hawaiian music.

The other is a Juno-nominated Canadian who has been blessed enough to collaborate on Dobro, guitar and mandolin with musi-cians of all styles.

To g e t h e r , A n e l a Kahiamoe and Doug Cox have formed the Comox Valley-based Pacific Poi Boys. They’ll b r ing the i r un ique blend of roots, blues and Hawaiian music to Ladysmith this Sunday f o r t h e L a d y s m i t h R e s o u r c e s C e n t r e Association (LRCA)’s Concerts in the Park series at the Transfer Beach Amphitheatre.

The concert starts at 6 p.m. Admission is by donation to the LRCA.

Cox and Kahiamoe discovered their mutu-al love for all kinds of roots music when K a h i a m o e m a r r i e d a Canadian girl and moved to Vancouver Island in 2007. Since then, this relaxed duo have begun to explore and enjoy each other’s past and present musi-cal interests, leading into a new sound for

both of them — part blues, part Hawaiian, part 1970s pop, part esoteric acoustic music, multi-instrumental and accessible with the odd vocal thrown in for good measure.

Cox fell in love with the blues while living in Alberta — bottle-neck slide blues, to be precise.

One night, Cox saw Jerry Douglas play the Dobro. He went out and bought a Dobro the next morning and started teaching himself how to play. Twenty years later, that Dobro is still on his lap, and if you were to ask Cox today, he’d tell you he’s still learning.

From blues to new acoustic music to world music and Americana, Cox has made music with the likes of people from the late iconic British blues master Long John Baldry to

India’s musical royalty Vishwa Mohan and Salil Bhatt, from America’s g r e a t s o n g w r i t e r s like Chuck Brodsky to Austrian dub band Dubblestandart to guitar master Amos Garrett, as well as dozens of other musical collaborators.

Kahiamoe also brings decades of experience and varied influences to the Pacific Poi Boys.

Born in Honolulu, Kahiamoe has earned a living as a full-time musician since the age of 17, playing guitars of all kinds, ukulele and lap steel guitar.

Kahiamoe’s first suc-cess came with the group called Island Band. They were very successful from their initial recording in 1976 and opened for perform-ers such as Elvin Bishop and Fleetwood Mac.

In the early 1980s, Kahiamoe performed regu lar ly wi th the Island Style Band on the aikane catamarans, where he started work-ing with the legendary Loyal Garner.

As a member of Island Style Band, Kahiamoe started a regular gig with Ali’i Kai Catamaran sunset d inner sa i l , where he worked until the mid-2000s. The Hoku Award-winning band Nightwing invited him to join them in 1991. Kahiamoe released his first solo CD in 1996.

During the early 2000s, Kahiamoe kept busy on the catamaran and with studio and convention work. In 2003, he also joined Tino and the Rhythm Klub. The band was invited to perform at the Venetian and the Alladin Hotel in Las Vegas, and they were asked to play for Wayne Newton’s daughter’s wedding in Hawaii.— Submitted

Ellis is joined in this band by well-known Cowichan Valley gui-tarist and vocalist Mike (Boomer) Boyd, Barry Fairall on the upright bass and Mike Dempster on banjo.

One of Vancouver Island’s most-listened-to bands is Bluegrass Fever, which features the banjo wizardry of Victoria-based Barrie Hemmings, who also provides many of the lead vocals. Hemmings was one of the original members of Bluegrass Fever when the band was formed in Ontario in 1989. When he moved to Vancouver Island a number of years ago, Hemmings was joined by guitar-ist Bob Johns, known on the Island for his years with the popu-lar Ladysmith band The Back 40 Boys.

Bluegrass Fever will be joined by Jeff Ellis on mandolin.

The Cowichan Valley’s own Bryon Clayton Thomas will be at the Chemainus Festival

with their mix of new and traditional music. Bryon Thompson pro-vides the lead vocals and guitar, as well as some work with the resophonic slide gui-tar. Clayton Long is the mandolinist and vocal-ist, while Tom Horsfal gives a wonderful dis-play with his five-string electric bass.

T h e C h e m a i n u s Bluegrass Festival takes place Sat., July 14 from 10 a.m. until 9 p.m. at the bandstand in Waterwheel Park. Admission is a suggest-ed donation of $10.

P l e n t y o f s o c c e r athletes from across Va n c o u v e r I s l a n d got their kicks at the Stz’uminus First Annual Soccer Tournament held Canada Day week-end in Ladysmith.“It was an overwhelm-

ing success; we got so much feedback from everybody stating how they’re going to come back next year and how well organized we were,” said Stz’uminus Soccer director Tim Harris.

A total of 22 teams part icipated in the tournament June 29 to July 1 at several fields throughout the community, and there were plenty of side games played between 30 teams of U5 to U14 children.

Ladysmith was well represented, with three local women’s teams and two men’s teams.“None of them placed

first, second or third, but they played very well. It was pretty tight competition; there were

a lot of out-of-town teams that came in that were really good,” Harris said.

Interestingly enough, the top three winners in both the women’s and men’s finals happened to be from the same community.

In f irst place was the Alert Bay men and women’s soccer teams, while Cowichan’s men’s and women’s teams took second-p lace spots. In third place was Saanich.

Harris said he was p l e a s e d w i t h t h e amount of support received by neighboring communities and said the committee was very appreciative of the help they received from the Town of Ladysmith and supporting businesses who helped make the tournament a success.

Plans are already in the works for next year’s soccer tourna-ment.“We’ll come together

as a committee leading up to the tournament and see how we can make it bigger and bet-ter,” Harris said.

T h e M i d - I s l e Highlanders FC wom-en’s reserve team may be the new kids on the turf, but that hasn’t stopped them from turfing the competi-tion.

With only one loss in the regular season, the team is sitting at the top of the crop as the Pacific Coast Soccer League Challenge Cup approaches July 28-29 in Chilliwack.“They’ve been play-ing really nice soccer,” said James Merriman, Mid-Isle Highlanders FC manager.

The fledgling team is a good mix of about 15 to 20 seasoned univer-sity players and talent-ed high school players from across central Vancouver Is land, including Ladysmith and Cowichan.“You’ve got young players that are just getting into the higher-level soccer and then they’ve got a good

group of girls that are training for the VIU season,” Merriman said. “They’ve come together really well.”

T h e M i d - I s l e Highlanders’ men’s reserve team currently sits in fourth place in the PCSL and needs to win its final matches

to make it into the playoffs. “ T h e y ’ v e h a d a great season as well; the men’s league is extremely competi-tive, and there’s not just one team that’s taken off,” Merriman said.

He added that the

mid-Island is very well represented in the province by both the women and men’s reserve, and he encour-aged soccer fans of all ages to come catch a game before the sea-son ends.

Both teams play two more games before

the regular season ends. The men face off against Kamloops at the Nanaimo turf July 15 while the women take on West Van at the Nanaimo turf July 21.

The Ladysmith Golf Club (LGC) is host-ing its annual free golf for kids program this week.

This year, the club is limiting the program to 18 kids to allow for more one-on-one instruction for participants.“The whole purpose

of it is to give youth a constructive thing to do and learn a sport that will carry them for the rest of their lives,” said Rob Johnson, program organizer.

The program will be held July 10, 12, 17 and 19 from 2-4 p.m. At press time Monday, there were still six spaces open.

During the lessons, students will learn the basics of the game — holding the club and the dynamics of the swing — as well as important life lessons in course etiquette and respect.

Johnson noted that many of the young juniors that have played at LGC are having suc-cess on larger courses such as Mount Brenton

Golf Course.“We’re proud of a lot of

the kids that have come through here,” he said.

Johnson said he would like to see more youth out on the Ladysmith Golf Course, which is a nine-hole, par-three course suited to all ages and level of players.

The course’s junior golf program allows young players aged eight to 18 unlimited rounds of golf at an annual rate of $100.“Where else as a par-

ent can you invest $100 and keep your kids occupied in some-thing constructive and learning life lessons?” Johnson asked. “It’s not like hockey or basket-ball — when you get to a certain age, you don’t play as much, but golf will stay with you for the rest of your life.”

For those unable to take advantage of the free golf lessons, there will be an open juniors golf tournament at the course Aug. 11. Entrance is $5, but there are plenty of priz-es to be given out. To register for the free golf lessons or tournament, call 250-245-7313.


Plenty of horseshoes were pitched at the Ladysmith Bernice Busch/Murray Rayner Memorial Open June 30 to July 2 at Transfer Beach.

Enthusiasts of all ages came together to toss a shoe and com-pete in both open and specialized categories.“There were 54 play-

ers on the Saturday alone,” said Vince H e r k e l o f t h e Ladysmith Horseshoe Club. “Our Ladysmith club did very well.”

The following tour-nament results include Ladysmith winners from July 1-2:

Taking first place in the Class A — Women was Kathy Juteau. Second place in the Elders 30 feet — Class C went to Terry Auld.

Third place in the

Women — Class D category was won by Pam Quendack, and following her was Shirley Lyon.Third place in the Class B — Men was Vince Herkel, and in fourh place was Ron Denman.

Marco Sertic took third place in a tie in the Elders 30 feet — Class B, while Cliff Henry came in fifth in the same category.

F o u r L a d y s m i t h Horseshoe players will also be repre-s e n t i n g t h e t o w n a t t h e C a n a d i a n Championships in Saskatoon this week. They are Vince Herkel, Bob Barker, Lou Busch and Ray Jerome.

Dan spent all of his working life in the forest industry in Prince George and Quesnel. He began with Rustad Brothers in P.G. Through hard work and determination he rose through the ranks working for Northwood, Canfor in P.G., Weldwood and most recently was the General Manager of the Quesnel Canfor division.

Dan is predeceased by his mother Nora Alexander and is survived by his father David Alexander along with sisters Norene (Brian Hawkins) and Jody (Jerry Berry). He also leaves behind in-laws Don, Nancy and Neil MacDougall as well as many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins.
