Craig Spencethe chronicle

Ladysmith & District Credit Union is the first tenant to sign a lease with Coast Salish Development at it’s Oys-ter Bay project on the Trans Canada Highway at Oyster Sto’Lo Road.“Today is an opportunity to bring part-ners together,” Stz’uminus Chief John Elliott said at an on-site ceremony June 24. “It just shows how much we have changed our mindset. I thank you for joining us and being part of Stz’uminus.”

The site, which is on Stz’uminus First Nation lands, will be the first develop-ment undertaken by the Stz’uminus

since their historic signing onto the First Nation’s Land Management Framework (FNLM).“I am just thrilled to be here,” said

LDCU Director, Brian Childs just be-fore the signing. “We have been in this community for 70 years.” Later he add-ed, “This is not a gamble for us, this is a stake in the community, and we’re going to be here for a long time.”

The credit union is looking to open a 1,200 square foot location, which will anchor the first phase of the planned 70,000 square foot shopping centre. In a release the day before the cer-emony, LDCU CEO John de Leeuw said the location makes sense. “The access from the Trans Canada High-

way will make it even easier for all of our members to access our banking services,” he said.

Elliott said the ground-breaking cer-emony showed appreciation for the

“many politicians, businesses and or-ganizations that have supported the Stz’uminus First Nation in their efforts to begin development at Oyster Bay,” as well as the new relationship with Ladysmith & District Credit Union.

He reserved his final thank you to the Stz’uminus people. “Most of all I need to thank my community,” Elliott said. “I think without the community and without people giving us the direc-tion we need to go – it’s so very impor-tant to us.”


The Stz’uminus First Na-tion and a group of private partners have submitted a rezoning application to the Town of Ladysmith for a 55.5 hectare, $244 million project south of Holland Creek and east of Dogwood Drive.

Over the next 20 to 30 years the partners hope to build a 610 unit develop-ment in the quadrilateral area intersected by Heart Creek and including the Arbutus Hump – both of which will be protected – says the application, sub-mitted by Glencar Consul-tants Inc on behalf of the partners.

The overall intent of the plan is to create pods of residential development

while protecting riparian areas; steep slopes; and the top of Arbutus Hump. says the development ap-plication.

Glenn Carey said final details are being worked out between the province and the Stz’uminus for the sale of the land, which is presently zoned Forestry (F-1). The Stz’uminus will contribute the land to the project; the other part-ners financing and project management.“It’s a means of economic development for the band,” Carey said. The project will be unique in many ways, he added, noting that the properties will be sold, not leased, as is com-mon with First Nations de-velopments on band lands, which cannot be sold.

Ladysmith approves‘spot zoning’, limiting606 Farrell to 15 units


Over the objections of developer Gary Schofield – who has submit-ted a petition to the Supreme Court of British Columbia – Ladysmith Council went ahead with ‘spot zoning’ at 606 Farrell Road after a public hearing June 22.

Speaker after speaker at the hearing urged council not to al-low more density on the property than was permitted under an ex-isting covenant EX060486, and to amend Ladysmith’s zoning by-law in accordance with the cov-enant’s limitations.A bylaw to that effect had al-

ready been passed in April, but had to be repealed after it was learned proper notice had not been served. The replacement Bylaw 1881 earned unanimous support from council.

Schofield, owner of Natura De-velopments Ltd., had filed a peti-tion with BC Supreme Court ask-ing that the first bylaw (1875) be quashed because he had not been properly notified of the required public hearing.

In his appeal to the BC Supreme Court he also asks that the re-strictive covenant on 606 Farrell Road be removed, which would allow another 25 units to be built on the undeveloped portion of the site in addition to the three units completed when the proper-ty belonged to a previous owner, who had agreed to the covenant in 2005.

Removing the covenant without rezoning would almost double the total number of units permit-

ted at the 606 Farrell Road strata, from 15 to 28.

Surrounding property owners and residents of the 606 Farrell Strata voiced their opposition again, at the latest public hear-ing.“The development plan which

was submitted to the Town of Ladysmith by Natura Develop-ments for an additional 25 units on this property is totally not what we think of as reasonable,” said residents of the completed portion of the Farrell strata Cleve Carleton, Murray and San-dra Hannah, and Adrian and An-gie Salahub in a joint letter to council.“No considerations were given for the character of the land, just putting up as many units as would fit. Sight lines and views from our units would be severely compromised with 20 foot walls and roofs in front of us; parking for existing units is severely lim-ited, with no visitor parking indi-cated; and this letter is not even addressing the style of the units, emergency access and a whole host of other concerns.”

Natura Developments argues in its BC Supreme Court application that the provisions of covenant EX060486 are ‘obsolete’, that they impede reasonable use of the land “without practical benefit to others”, and that the covenant should be cancelled.Alternatively it suggests the cov-

enant should be seen as only ap-plying to the already developed portion of the lands, and that the total number of units should not be limited to 15.

NDP hosts forums on E&N Future

Doug Routley, MLA for Nanaimo - North Cowichan, will host pub-lic forums in Ladysmith and Nanaimo to con-sider future options for the E&N Railroad line.

Residents of the Ladysmith and Cowichan Valley will be able to attend a ses-sion July 8 from 7 - 9 p.m. at the Ladysmith Eagles Hall, 921 First Ave. There will also be a session July 7 from 7 - 9 p.m., with Leonard Krog, MLA for Nanaimo present, at the Bowen Park Recreation Centre in Nanaimo.“The future of trans-portation on Vancouver Island needs to be sustainable and involve strong community con-sultation to make it a success,” said Routley in a media release.“These community forums are meant to inform people about the potential of the E&N Railway - how we got to where we are now, what the financial circumstances are, and how we move forward with the railway as a base for island transpor-tation.”

Camp fires banned mid-Island and south

The Ministry of Forests has announced a camp-fire ban, which took effect noon, Saturday. From now until the ban is lifted, campfires are only permitted on north-ern Vancouver Island, Haida Gwaii, and the mid-coast portion of the Mainland.“The Coastal Fire Centre is implementing this partial campfire ban due to dry forest fuel conditions and ris-ing temperatures,” says a Wildfire Management Branch release out of Parksville. “It is intend-ed to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety.”

On Vancouver Island the prohibition covers BC Parks, crown lands and private lands south of Robson Bight, the Nimpkish Valley and Nordstrom Creek. It will remain in effect until further notice.

A GIFT – as in a Growing Island Families Together Program con-tribution from the Island Savings Credit Union – will help Ladysmith Primary School acquire early reading materials called ‘Good Fit Books,’ says Principal Kevin Brand.At a presentation at the school

Brad Lesiuk of Islands Savings pre-sented the school with a cheque, capping a funding drive by the School’s Parent Advisory Council, which heard about the GIFT pro-

gram “and instantly knew it would be a good fit.”“With the GIFT grant Ladysmith

Primary gets an amazing infusion of literacy,” Brand said. “Together with school funding of $3,000 the partnership provides $5,000 worth of early reading materials for our students to use.”

Said Lesiuk, “The partnership is a natural fit with our vision to im-prove the quality of life for Island families and build strong commu-nities for long term success.”

Gatacre work nearly done

A crew installs curbing on Gatacre Street in preparation for paving, which is scheduled to take place next week Craig SpenCe

From Page 1The application itself is to amend

Ladysmith’s Official Community Plan and the zoning bylaw to al-low for a mixed-use development comprising 310 multi-family and 300 single-family units in the Hol-land Creek area.

The actual number of units that will be built will be market driven with the estimated time frame of the development being 20 - 30 years.

Over its lifetime the project could generate 1,422 construc-tions jobs and 258 ongoing, an-nual jobs, the application says. Development cost charges at ex-isting rates are estimated at $5.8 million dollars. Yearly taxes to the town at build-out would be approximately $1.5 million using 2014 tax rates.At ‘build-out’ the project could

have a population of 2,500.

Holland Creek to house 2,500

Paving is scheduled for July 6 on the Gatacre public works project, said Ladysmith’s Director of Mu-nicipal Services Kevin Goldfuss.

The project, which included re-placement of a water main and new curb and gutters, is about three weeks behind schedule due to delays getting test results on the water quality in the new main.

Now that has been completed, plans are to have a paving crew resurfacing the road by Monday, July 6.“We really appreciate the public’s patience,” Goldfuss said of the delay.

Work on the upgrade began May 11 and was slated to be completed by June 12



Progressive Con-servative MP John Weston (West Vancou-ver-Sunshine Coast- Sea to Sky Country) tabled a bill in the House of Commons June 17 to deal with the issue of aban-doned vessels.

His plan calls for stiff fines and an ex-pedited process for authorizing salvage companies to get rid of abandoned vessels.“All levels of govern-ment share overlap-ping interest in the problem,” he said in a media release.“A comprehensive solution requires co-operation and com-munication among leaders committed to stem the tide of aban-doned vessels.

Imposing personal responsibility on ves-sel owners is a good start, he added, re-ferring to his call for fines of up to $100,000

and jail terms of up to a year for owners who abandon vessels in BC harbours.“I look forward to more public input, now that people can see this formal pro-posal.”

Weston’s Bill C-695 also recommends changes to the Cana-da Shipping Act that would allow a vessel to be ‘deemed aban-doned’ if it has been left anchored or moored in the same area more than 30 days ‘without authorization or with-out any surveillance or monitoring.’

Vessels could also be declared aban-doned if: they are in danger of sinking or breaking up; are ob-structing a waterway; or pose a ‘serious and imminent danger to human health or safe-ty, the environment or property.’

Once declared aban-doned a vessel would be subject to sale for salvage by the Minis-

ter of Transport. “The Minister may sell a vessel that is deemed abandoned and may, by bill of sale, give the purchaser a valid title to it free from any mortgage or oth-er claim on the vessel that exists at the time of sale.”

Would Weston’s bill give government agencies the power they need to remove and dispose of ves-sels like the Viki Lynn II, a known hazard, in danger of sinking in Ladysmith Harbour, damaging the region’s shellfish industry, tourism and maritime lifestyle?

Nanaimo Cowichan MP Jean Crowder, whose recently reject-ed private members bill on the issue took a different tack, says no, for two reasons.

Relying on private salvagers to dispose of hulks like the Viki Lynn II won’t work, because there isn’t enough salvageable materials on the ves-sels to offset the tremendous envi-ronmental costs and risks their new own-ers would become liable for as soon as they took possession of the boats.“There are already salvage provisions in international law.

this were a great business propo-sition, you wouldn’t have these abandoned vessels, you would have people stepping up to sal-vage them,” Crowder said.

As for fines, many of the boat owners are not easily identifi-able or live outside the country, and can’t be brought to account. And a fine doesn’t do anything to prevent a boat from sinking and

fouling a harbour, she said.If we’re looking for a solution,

Crowder suggests we turn our tele-scopes south to Washington State.

“What really needs to happen – which neither my bill nor John Weston’s does – is the Washington State model, where they have an annual licensing fee and part of that licensing fee goes toward a derelict vessel fund,” she said“In ten years they have taken over

500 derelict vessels off the water.”

On June 26 Minister of State for Seniors Alice Wong announced $25,000 for Ladysmith’s Royal Ca-nadian Legion from the federal New Horizons for Seniors Pro-gram.

The money will be used for the Legion’s Handicap Access Facili-ties Project, which will upgrade washrooms to make them wheel-

chair and walker accessible.“These facility upgrades will en-hance the Legion’s capacity to provide a safer and more accom-modating environment where se-niors can participate in activities,” Wong said.

The Ladysmith project was one of six in the Cowichan-Nanaimo area, totalling $142,000.

The pain drivers feel at the pump from high gas prices may soon also come with a jolt of shame for helping destroy the planet.

A proposal gaining momentum with civic leaders in B.C. would see guilt-inducing climate change warning la-bels slapped on all gas pump handles.

The non-profit group Our Horizon has been advancing the concept on the basis that warnings that graphi-cally show the damage from climate change could nudge motorists to cut their emissions.

It’s inspired by cigarette package warnings that are credited in the de-cline of smoking and the example warning labels circulated by the group are similar in design.

“Warning: Use of this fuel product contributes to ocean acidification which puts much marine life at risk of extinction,” states one label that comes with images of thriving and dead coral.

West Vancouver council will bring a resolution before the Union of B.C. Municipalities in September asking the province to make the pump labels a requirement province-wide.

SFU marketing professor Lindsay Meredith said the idea could influence fuel consumption, particularly among people already considering buying an electric car or choosing other trans-portation options to reduce their car-bon footprint.

“It’s a way of turning up the heat, no doubt about it,” Meredith said.

Variance vote varied. What happened?

Editor: At the June 15, 2015, council

meeting Mayor Stone took the highly unusual step of bringing back to council a variance request which had been voted down at the June 1 council meeting.

He used special powers under the Community Char-ter to bring the issue back to council for reconsidera-tion and a second vote. The mayor said he brought the issue back because he had received a “high level of sup-portive feedback” (Nanaimo Daily News, June 17, 2015) for the variance.

Councillors Arnett, Hutchins and Paterson also reported receiving feedback support-ing the variance. No new in-formation regarding the vari-ance was brought forward at the June 15 meeting.

The vote was virtually the same as June 1. Voting against the variance were Councillors Henderson, Friesenhan and Fradin. Voting in favour were Mayor Stone, Councillors Hutchins and Arnett.

The only change was by Councillor Paterson who changed his vote from a no on June 1 to a yes on June 15. As a result the variance passed on the second vote.

At the meeting on June 1 all members of the public who spoke or made submissions about the variance were iden-tified by name and their views recorded in the agenda or minutes.

On June 15 no information was given about who provid-ed the presumably new feed-back supporting the variance after the first vote. We were

not told how many people were involved or what exactly they had to say.

Given that it was their input which brought the issue back to council and changed Coun-cillor Paterson’s mind, these are disturbing omissions. Where were these unidenti-fied supporters of the variance when they had the opportunity to speak the first time the vari-ance was voted on?

When the mayor decides to take the extraordinary step of forcing council to re-vote on an issue, one would expect there would be full disclosure of all the evidence supporting that decision.

We were promised more openness at last November’s election. What happened?

LRC’s Dennis Laite retires

For twenty-three years Dennis Laite and the Ladysmith Resources Centre have celebrated anniversaries together.

He signed on as volunteer Treasurer of the newly formed LRC when it first opened its doors; then in 1995 – when he retired from the RCMP – he was hired as ED, saying it would only be a short time until the board found someone else for the job.

Now, as the last original member of LRC’s board and staff still reporting for duty, Laite is saying goodbye. “Here we are today, 23 years later, seeing Dennis retiring from his second career, one very dear to his heart,” said Sha-ron Hamilton in a retirement tribute.

The Ladysmith Resources Centre started out in a space at 225 High Street, where Dr. Mar-shall Butcher’s practice is located now. Laite built partitions, installed phones and moved in furniture.

Then the centre moved to 112 French Street, where Telford’s Burial & Cremation Centre is located. “That space we hugely renovated as well, and it housed us for several years until we were bursting at the seams,” Hamilton rec-ollected.

Back then the Centre provided office space for probation services, the Canadian Cancer Society, its first youth worker, a home support worker and the Chamber of Commerce. “It’s where Dennis began his career as Executive Director,” Hamilton said.

From there the Centre moved to the First Av-enue location currently housing the Museum. Then in 2011, it moved to its brand new Sec-ond Avenue site at Spirit Square.

In 1997 the Town approached the LRC to take over the Christmas Cheer program. “It was certainly a good thing Dennis had a truck, because he was kept very busy that first year picking up food supplies and gifts for the ham-pers,” Hamilton said.“On Christmas Eve, he was called from a family dinner to deliver a hamper to a family who had not received theirs. He made it hap-pen, delivering a box with food and gifts to the family.”

Wednesday nights have usually found Laite volunteering to help run a community bingo that was turned over to the LRC in 1995 – he routinely puts in six hour stints for an event that raises funds to keep the LRC going.

Said Hamilton, “Looking back over the years, a portrait of Dennis would show a diligent, very caring, optimistic, hard working and hon-est man, always willing to volunteer his time in whichever way was needed to help some-one else.”“He never complained, just got on with it,” she said. “His values and hard work have brought the Centre to the place it is today. Dennis could look at a problem and come up with a solution to make it happen or make it right.”

A Bigger Vision for our Island’s Future

It’s our day, let’s celebrate July 1Our flag is 50 years old this year; our home & native land 148; we’re still young at heart

There’s plenty going on in the Ladysmith-Chemainus area July 1 to help us celebrate be-ing citizens of one of the greatest places in the world to live. So wear a dash of red if you’re a typically modest Canadian, or go all out if you’re a more exuberant sort, and give a cheer.

Celebrations will be going on from 1 to 5 p.m. at Transfer Beach in Ladysmith. There will be live music, including Myc Sharratt, Zinnia, The Lion The Bear The Fox and Stephanie Hum-phreys.

There will also be kids’ games and activities; lifeguards will be on duty; the Stz’uminus First Nation; and perhaps best of all a giant birthday cake for a giant country that spans a continent.

The games and activities will be put on by the Adventure Zone summer day camp leaders.

You won’t want to miss it.There will be lot’s of activities in Chemainus,

too. In fact, Canada Day lasts a week in

Chemainus, and “Begins with a Bang!” Wednes-day July 1, says the Chemainus & District Cham-ber of Commerce.

From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. there will be pony rides, a petting zoo, a bouncy castle and loads of other activities for the kids at WaterWheel Park.

Other things to look for:Lots of music including Bopoma Marimba,

Tropic Mayhem, and Reid Ellie serenading the crowd with his beautiful acapella rendition of our country’s national Anthem.

Free cake. What better way to celebrate than with a piece of cake! At noon after the National Anthem, enjoy the delicious flavours of our Can-ada Day Celebration Cake in front of the new ex-panded museum.

Free Ice Cream. The 49th Parallel Grocery and Island Farms come together to make sure that everyone cools down with a creamy scoop of de-licious ice cream.

A Chemainus man is being credited with saving the life of a neighbour during a house fire last Sunday morning.

Bailey Misiurka ran to the aid of his neighbours after their Chemainus Road house caught fire, and managed to pull one man through a win-dow to safety.“I was actually lying in bed when I heard someone screaming,” Misiurka recalled. “I jumped out of bed. There are a lot of hay fields around here, and when I saw the smoke, I though the hay field was on fire.”

When they realized where the smoke was

coming from, Misiurka and another neighbour ran to the scene. Ini-tially they believed a tree was on fire, but they soon figured out that it was actually a house, which was quickly succumbing to the flames. The first person they encoun-tered was a woman who lived in the house.“It looked like she had a little bit of singed hair,” Misiurka said.

“We thought she was the only one there, but then she said her hus-band was still inside.”

Misiurka used to have friends living in the house, he ex-plained, so he was fa-miliar with the layout. He ran to a door that went into an enclosed space below the deck and was able to break

through that one. While he could see the man inside through another door, stagger-ing around, he couldn’t manage to get through it, so he kicked out the window and pulled the man, who he believes was suffering from smoke inhalation, to safety.“The deck above me

was burning,” Misiur-ka said. “But I got him out.”

Once the couple was out, Misiurka left the yard to make room for the Chemainus Volun-teer Fire Department. He said he has no idea

how the fire started.Misiurka said adrena-

line took over and he didn’t hesitate to do what he could to get the man out.“I just ran up and went into the building,” he said. “It was just go, go, go. I didn’t even hesi-tate to go in the back door.”

This wasn’t the first time Misiurka has helped rescue some-one. A year ago, a friend was involved in a car accident on Hen-ry Road, and he was one of three or four guys who helped pull him from the wreckage.

How Do You Like It?

If you are keen to see a western bluebird in its natural Gary Oak habitat on Vancouver Is-land, you’ll have to go to the Duncan - Maple Bay area for now says Jemma Green, coordina-tor of Vancouver Island’s Bring Back the Blue-birds Project.

In May The Gary Oak Ecosystems Recovery team announced that the western bluebird was back, and that their recovery is beginning in the Cowichan Valley – the species had been declared ‘extirpated’, or locally extinct, on Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands since the mid-90s.

They have established a toe-hold in Duncan-Maple Bay, but it’s unlikely they are going to be seen farther north any time soon. “The popula-tion is still very small, and at present consists of six nesting pairs and approximately five un-paired males,” Green reported.“As we have not released any pairs north of

Maple Bay, we don’t believe there are any nest-ing birds in the Ladysmith or Chemainus area.”

The project has about 300 nestboxes in the Duncan-Maple Bay area, so it is unlikely the bluebirds will start to disperse farther in search of breeding territories until they satu-rate this core area, she added.

She said it could take years for the popula-tion to achieve a stable size, and even more years for satellite populations to establish in other areas in the region. “As the extirpation of bluebirds took about five decades, the re-establishment of the species could take just as long,” she said.

There’s lots bird lovers in North Cowichan can do if they want to prepare the way for their feathered friends. The Duncan-Maple Bay area was chosen for the initial releases as it con-tains some of the last and best Gary Oak habi-tat in the region.

North Cowichan has potential, too, but resi-dent bird-lovers will have to help nature along to improve the odds. “If North Cowichan resi-dents want to encourage Western Bluebirds and other native cavity nesters, a lot of work will be needed to restore habitat,” she said.“Only when these ecosystem elements are re-stored will it make sense to mount nestboxes and encourage bluebirds to breed in the area.”

In the meantime, there’s still a chance for North Cowichan residents to catch western bluebird sightings, and help them at the same time. “We are always looking for dedicated, long-term volunteers, and as Ladysmith-Che-mainus is a short commute from Duncan, we hope to have more folks from that area getting involved with the project this year and in the years to come,” Green said.

KATHARINE (KAL) THOMPSON (nee Lapsansky)

February 18, 1932 to June 20, 2015

It is with a great deal of sadness that we announce the passing of Katharine (Kal) Thompson, beloved wife, mother, grandmother and ‘Bubby’, after a brief but courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.

She is survived by her loving husband Bill whom she married on September 13, 1952, daughter Corrine Thompson (Tim Costin), son David (Chris), and daughter Chris Carter (Steve).

She also leaves her grandchildren Jim Segee (Ahamida), Brad Segee, Jonathan Thompson (Aman-da), Kate Khan (Ahmed), Elyse Thompson, Liane Schenke, and Alex Schenke, and her four great grandchildren, Mariah Segee, David Thompson, Zella Khan and Emirah Khan. Kal also wishes to acknowledge her fi rst born daughter Meridith Colman and her her two children Craig and Emilia.

Kal was always active. She was on the basketball team at the Ladysmith High School and excelled in a number of track and fi eld events. After she was married, it was badminton during the winter months, water skiing and golf in the summer. She was the ladies Club Champion at the Cowichan Golf and Country Club in the year 1980. And oh how she loved to dance. She was also an active and accomplished duplicate bridge player and acquired more than 1500 master points, holding the title of Sil-ver Life Master. In 1986 she was the Worthy Matron of Cypress Chapter #92 Order of the Eastern Star.

Kal was also a wonderful cook and passionate about eating, with always a tasty meal at her table. She enjoyed sharing recipes and trying new things when it came to food.

She was fortunate in having lived a healthy active life for almost all of her 83 years, and although Kal is no longer with us, we may rest assured that the lives that she has touched will be left with many fond memories.

The family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the Doctors and Nurses of Cowichan District Hospital, and the amazing Home Care Nurses for the wonderful care shereceived and Hospice for their support. Also to Dr. Pai and Dr. Meadows at the Cancer Clinic in Victoria and the nurses in the Royal Jubilee Hospital, who also gave exceptional care while she was there..

Kal’s wishes are to have a celebration of life gathering, which will be held at the H.W.Wallace, Cremation & Burial Center, 5285 Polkey Rd., Duncan from 1:00 P.M. to 3:00 P.M. on June 27, 2015.

In lieu of fl owers please make any donations to the Canadian Cancer Society.

MacFARLANE, BRIAN GEORGEJune 26, 1943 – June 22, 2015

It is with sad and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Brian. He passed away at home with his loving wife and soulmate, Pat, by his side.

He is survived by his brothers, Stuart (Shirley) MacFarlane, Jim (Barbara) Clare, sister Eileen Dubinsky, nieces and nephews and Pat’s 4 brothers & 5 sisters and their spouses. He was predeceased by his parents, Ken & Katherine MacFarlane, brothers Ken & Donald MacFarlane and sisters, Audrey Eftoda & Colleen Balez.

Very special thanks to our good friends, Nancy Hunter & Phil Drab for all their support & also special thanks to Dr. Fergus Kennedy and the caring staff of Ladysmith Home Care.

“Cheerio, Brian, till we meet again!!” Stuart
