Matthew PetersonTHE CHRONICLE
Around 60 people filed into Aggie Hall to dis-cuss sustainability in Ladysmith.
The session was led by Mark Holland, formerly of
HB Lanarc, who took the lead hand in Ladysmith’s visioning process in 2008 and 2009.
P a r t i c i p a n t s w e r e given the opportunity to pick three topics from a list of five — Economic, Natural Environment,
B u i l t E n v i r o n m e n t , Social and Cultural and Working Together.
Then three half-hour workshops were held where people had a chance to talk about different issues in each section, what actions
they could take on a daily basis and what would motivate them to do more.
At the end of each workshop, people were invited to put a sticker next to the two initia-tives they would like to
see addressed.For Arts and Culture,
some of the top priorities selected by the groups were: Better funding for arts programs, reju-venated and expanded public spaces, develop-ing relationships with
Stz’uminus First Nation.For the Economic
section, people would like to see the town look closely at attract-ing green businesses, exploring eco-tourism and exploring home-based businesses.
In terms of the Natural Environment, the people in attendance wanted to see the expansion of pro-tected areas, protection of Holland Creek and the harbour and more parkland.

And the winner is...Project Reel Life was the winning business proposal pitched by a group of youth from Ladysmith Second-ary on Thursday night. The plan hopefully will see the construc-tion of a community movie theatre in the old electronics classroom at LSS. Members of the youth initiative will now work on obtaining a grant from the Com-munity Action Initiative, which could garner them up to $200,000.

When i t comes to our Built Environment (buildings) people want-ed to see more done with the densification of downtown and new developments, appropri-ate development of the waterfront and explo-ration of partnerships with the Island Corridor Foundation to better develop the rail line.
And for the Working Together with other groups people wanted to see better communi-cation so groups aren’t duplicating the same work, reviewing region-al transit, improving the town website (which will be operational by Oct. 31) and holding regular town hall meetings at least twice a year.
People also gave their thoughts on priorities that included finding ways to better support and facilitate volunteers, and better linking parts of town with multi-use pathways.
Participants were also asked to highlight some of their other priorities at the end of the eve-ning.
Len Manuel was one of the Ladysmith resi-dents in the crowd and noted there was a lot of information for people to take in.“I think overall the pro-
cess was very positive,” said Manuel, who attend-ed the natural environ-ment, arts and culture and partnerships work-
shops. “It was a great opportunity for people to give input.”
The town will be pre-sented with a report from the three-hour workshop in a few weeks. Manuel said he is looking for-ward to the report and how the different initia-tive are prioritized, espe-cially the new priorities people could highlight.
Manuel said he heard some excellent sugges-tions including the need to connect Ladysmith and Nanaimo with pub-lic transportation and the need to get more involved with the arts.
Another attendant, Pam Fraser, said she thought the process was overall very positive and was glad to have contributed to the discussion.“I think it’s admirable
that they’re trying for cit-izens input,” said Fraser, noting the tight time line made the broad topics difficult to explore.
Fraser said she thought there was a fair consen-sus on where to move forward, but did not like that the priorities were pre-selected for people to choose.
However, she is aware of the time constraints. Further such workshops would work well with a more narrow focus, she added.
Fraser was also wary of whether the group pres-ent are representative of the community and would like to see some other kind of surveying done to compliment the
information received.“All that said, I still
think it was a worth-while exercise.”
Fraser had time to attend the partnerships, social and cultural and bu i l t env i ronments workshops.
C o u n . B r u c e Whittington was pres-ent for the session and was pleased to see the appetite for more in the future.“That is something we
should look at doing,” said Whittington, add-ing the council knows it could do more in terms of communicating with the community.“I think there is a real
willingness to reach out to the community.”
Whittington said there were some interesting ideas stemming from the workshop including the need for a public policy for art in town.“It’s one way for sup-
porting the arts commu-nity.”
Coun. Scott Bastian said he found the resi-dents at the meeting very open with their comments.
One of the big things that stuck out for Bastian was the demographic of the people at the meet-ing.
There were very few people under 30.
Bastian said there was a good range of ideas pre-sented, and noted many have been raised before, such as concerns with the trolley, that people wanted updates to.

Ladysmith has a new seniors advisory coun-cil that met for the first time on Sept. 14.
The council consists of Linda Brown, Gerald Fox, Michael Furlot, Truus Meijer Drees, Sharen Newton, Ed Nicholson, June Raabe, Gary Richardson and Pat Schulson. Trevor Stauffer will be acting as an alternate member.
The councillors met with stakeholders and organizers at the Seniors’ Centre for a brief lunch before it was time to get to business.
Nicholson said at the first meeting the group dedicated Newton the interim-chairperson u n t i l a p e r m a n e n t person is selected by the group. They have
also asked Pat Edge, who acts as a national seniors councillor, to sit in on the meetings.
According to their m i s s i o n s t a t e m e n t
“The Ladysmith Seniors Advisory Council will serve as an advocate and representative of seniors in Ladysmith and area, encouraging seniors to contribute their skills, experience and wisdom in support of the social well-being in our community, and to partner with other like organizations to support the health and well being of all seniors and elders. The Ladysmith Seniors Advisory Council will act in an advisory capacity to and in co-operation with, services already in place, and keep seniors informed of services available.”
Nicholson said the
council’s concrete goals and how they will go about attaining them has not yet been forged by the group.“I think the council has
the potential for a lot of good. But it first has to establish how it works.”“I think maybe some
kind of co-ordination in identifying service needs,” said Nicholson of what the council will be doing.
Fox said he hopes the council will bring recog-nition to local seniors for their contributions to the community.“There’s a lot of things
that could be done to aid seniors that aren’t being done.”
One of the issues Fox wants to see dealt with is sidewalks, noting scooter rides often get very bumpy and driving a scooter on the road is
often a dangerous pur-suit.“You take your life in
your hands,” said Fox, who himself uses a scooter to get around town.“One of the things they
could do is incorpo-rate them into the bike paths,” said Fox, noting they could be wider to better serve all scooter-users.
Fox also said there needs to be better co-ordination between seniors and other groups in town like Rotary or the Legion and youth in the area.“Seniors have a lot they
can give to the commu-nity that the community is not utilizing.”
The Seniors’ Centre is also hosting a com-plimentary lunch on October 1 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 630 2nd Ave.

Resident David Brown is hoping to put his years of government service to use in the Town of Ladysmith as a councillor.
A former environmen-tal protection manager, he would like to be part of a council moving for-ward on several issues including the environ-ment.
Brown said he is used to being very busy and now that he
is retired, he sees civic life as a good way get involved.“I’ve got a lot out of this
province and I’d like to give something back now,” said Brown.
Brown noted one of Ladysmith’s key assets is its beauty and work must be done to pro-tect the mountains and the harbour.“We have to protect
both of them,” said Brown, who also sits on the town’s liquid waste management committee.“The harbour is a
valuable resource for us, for tourism and our citizens, there is also fisheries value in it.“We have to make sure
we don’t push it beyond its capability.”
Over the next term, Brown would like to see the Liquid Waste Management Plan com-pleted and secondary treatment completed.“That should be achiev-
able,” he said.
Brown also wants to turn some attention to Slack Point.
While he understands it is owned by the prov-ince, he would like to see the area cleaned up to be an asset instead of a risk.“There is metal stick-
ing out of the ground ... it is not safe for anyone down there. It wouldn’t take much to get the area cleaned up and get it going.”
Along the waterfront, Brown would also like to see a campground
set up at either Slack Beach or Transfer Beach.“We need something
to pull people into Ladysmith as tourists. We need to get these RVs that are ripping by us, to stay here.”
Brown said through-out his career he has learned projects need to be broken down into small steps.“You get a success and
people are with you to get to the next level.”
Brown said while he is no stranger to gov-ernment and working with politicians and bureaucrats, learning the steps, stages and pace of being an elect-ed official will be some-thing new — especially when it comes to the budgeting process.“ T h e f i r s t b u d g e t
comes out in December to March ... I’m going to be in a learning curve for that one so I’m fully up to speed for the sec-ond and third.”

Movie theatre moves aheadProject Reel Life to be submitted for possible grant
A group of students f r o m L a d y s m i t h Secondary are moving ahead with a business proposal that could bring a movie theatre back to Ladysmith.
The decision was made after two youth init iat ives, Project Reel Life and Carpe Diem, a proposal for a youth clothing/surf/skate/bike store, were presented at the high school Thursday night.
Project Reel L i fe proposes a youth run community movie the-atre, housed in the old electronics room at Ladysmith Secondary and renovated by stu-dents in the school’s carpentry program.
While working on their business ideas, all of the students were mentored by members of the local business community. The six students involved with Project Reel Life were encouraged to look at all aspects of running a movie theatre, including researching the costs involved with renovat-ing the ideal location for a theatre, movie rights, concession sup-plies and a movie pro-jector, which can cost in excess of $100,000, said project member Brendan Wilkinson.“You pret ty much
break even on movie distribution, so that’s why when you go to the movies the popcorn is so ridiculously expen-sive,” he said.
However, using the old electronics room at LSS would not only make use of school district facilities during declining enrollment, but keep operational costs low, said LSS principal Dave Street.“Running as a youth
run/school run project, the overhead would be extremely low, and if you couple that with concession revenues, and the chances of something like this breaking even and even doing better is a given,” he said.
The youths will now move on to the second stage of the Community
Action Initiative, a grant application that could net them up to $200,000 for their proposal.
Audience members also heard about proj-ect Carpe Diem, a pro-posal to run a youth clothing and more store on High Street.
According to project leaders Kristy DeClark and Chad Schoolcraft, the locat ion could accommodate about five or six retailers who would lease a storefront space for their products, while the youth would help run the shop and order in the products.“Because Ladysmith
is so small so you only need a small quantity of each brand of cloth-ing or bike,” Declark said. “If there’s a dance coming up and you don’t have time to go to Nanaimo and you want clothing, there’s nowhere really to go.”
The pair would like to keep a youth cloth-ing and sport store theme in mind, selling bikes, skateboards and providing bike repair services for the entire community.“The one good thing
about it is, the building that we’ve picked has a top floor, and what we are thinking is the bottom floor would be used for shopping and then when we have enough money, make the top floor into a cafe or smoothie shop,”
Schoolcraft said. “Not only would we
be introducing youth to being more active, and spending more time learning more sports, we’re also allowing them to have a place where they can have their time and hang out.”
C a r p e D i e m h a s already received a p r o p o s i t i o n f r o m Frontrunner, and talks are in the works.
The meeting was well attended by members of the community who were impressed by the students’ efforts.“The town can be very
proud of our youth,” said Sid Roemer of the Ladysmith Lions club.
“I’ve seen so many busi-nesses come up with all the glorious things that are going to be done and suddenly they’re gone. With the youth, I think we’ve got a good chance to set up some-thing that’s going to prosper and make this town even better.”
Regardless of the outcome of the grant, the students will look at other opportunities with the community to get their projects off the ground, says project coordinator Sam Corrington, of the Ladysmith Resources Centre Association, who funded the youth initia-tive through a $10,000 convening grant.
Keep tuned to the Ladysmith Chronicle as the projects develop.
Carpe Diem team members Kristy DeClark and Chad Schoolcraft say they will continue their vision for a student run multi store front clothing/sport store, having already received feedback from interested investors. NIOMI PEARSON/CHRONICLE

A f t e r s o m e c o n -s iderat ion , Bruce Whittington has decid-ed to let his name stand again for coun-cillor.
Whittington said he had made a decision that he would do the job if he could see some progress hap-pening in town.
“That’s the case dur-ing my time being on council. I’m beginning to feel like I can actu-ally be somewhat use-ful. It takes a while to sort of get the hang of local government works.”
Whittington added there are still a num-ber of initiatives he would l ike to see through and is well-equipped to do so.
Of the things council is working on current-ly, Whittington said revising the OCP to best reflect the com-munity is an important issue to him.
He was first spurred to run after the last Visioning Process in 2008 and 2009 and wants to see the ideas circulated put into the OCP and used as a guide.“People are still very much of one mind in terms of how they want Ladysmith to look and feel as a place to live.”
Whittington said he is pleased to see coun-
cil moving ahead with the protection of the local watershed and notes he wants to see the town do more than just the bare minimum with its waste.“We need to think about a new town hall at some point” Whittington added, noting town staff are currently spread out and crowded into their offices.
A new fire hall is also on the list of infra-structure the town needs to look at, said Whittington.
Recent projects like Lot 108 and the High Street building were somewhat surprise p r o j e c t s t h a t t h e town was able to do, but Whittington now wants to see some time and money directed to other initiatives.“I would also like to see some environmen-tal initiatives getting underway.”
Taking an inven-tory of Ladysmith’s natural areas and the eco-systems they
contain is one project Whittington would like to see completed.“I ’d l ike to see a tree-protection bylaw ... and a cat-control bylaw.”
In terms of proj -ects that may expand beyond the next term, Whittington said coun-cil is starting to get a clearer picture of what Ladysmith resi-dents want from the waterfront.“It’s a real challenge
on how to proceed on that due to multiple stakeholder interests.”
Whit t ington sa id his long-term dream would be a cleanup of the harbour.“It’s been pretty badly
degraded over the years. I would like to know what it looked like 200 years ago and try to return it to that. Could we harvest oys-ters there again?”
L o o k i n g b a c k Whittington said he has enjoyed his first term as councillor and working with a diverse group of people.

The solar-powered trash compactors have been removed from First Avenue.
The bins were part of a pilot project the town has decided not to pro-ceed with, said Mayor Rob Hutchins.
While the bins were e f f e c t i v e a n d p e r-formed well, they sent the wrong message about waste, Hutchins
added.“The solar idea was
good, ... but it’s in oppo-sition to our efforts to recycle, reduce and reuse.”
The town, he said, will be better served with recycling and organic collection bins around town.“Instead of one large
garbage container.” “So we decided not to
proceed.”Hutchins said he is
hoping council will look at the new bins during the next budget process.
The decals depicting historical Ladysmith s c e n e s w e r e e a s -i l y p e e l e d o f f t h e cans when they were returned, he said.

Council takes watershed
resolution to UBCM
Ladysmith Councillor Steve Arnett says he is feeling optimistic about the resolution on watershed protection the town will present at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) conference next week.
The resolution, pre-pared by TOL staff, calls on the provincial govern-ment to assist communi-ties in acquiring owner-ship of their watersheds by gifting them the land or providing the funds to purchase them.“It is officially a reso-
lution to be reviewed, discussed and debated and a choice made to endorse or not or refer by the body of all of the communities that belong to the UBCM,” Arnett said. “I’m hoping for a majority vote at the least, if not unani-mous.”
The resolution also calls for the Ministry of Environment to monitor the activity of all water-
sheds used for drinking water and maintain lev-els and quality control.
According to Arnett, other municipalities have put forward simi-lar resolutions regarding watershed protection, such as pesticide spray-ing, logging activities, and more local author-ity over watershed activ-ities. However, none have gotten to the heart of the issue.“None of them were
comprehensive and said it all in one fell swoop,” he said. “They are all symptomatic of the broader public issue.”
A watershed is defined as an area of land where all of the water that is under it or drains off of it goes into the same place. As such, the land is always environmen-tally sensitive, and the only way that you can maintain public secu-rity of that resource is through ownership, Arnett said.“It’s a very expensive
proposition for a small municipality, or even a larger one, but most
particularly the smaller ones like ourselves,” he said. “In the end, you’d always have to make choices about how much money you’ve got com-ing in, and where your priorities are, well water is a number one prior-ity, but you’d like to be able to drive from your house to the school over top filled-in potholes.”
Members of council are preparing a pre-sentation to deliver to UBCM members before it is open for discus-sion.
A failure to initiate a broad public policy across the province, where every commu-nity owns and controls its watershed would be a failure of public policy, Arnett said.“If water is life and it’s
fundamental to every-thing we do as human beings, then it seems to me that a community has not only an obligation but a right to own and control its watershed,” he said. “If you don’t have full ownership you don’t have control.”
Niomi PearsonTHE CHRONICLE
NIOMI PEARSON/CHRONICLE
VICTORIA – The Americanization of Canadian and B.C. politics is gathering
speed now that legislated four-year terms are finally settling in at the federal and provincial level.
Scheduled elections are an important reform, but the downside is that they seem to lead inexorably to constant campaigning. The latest example is the B.C. Liberal Party’s website and radio campaign directed at upstart B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins.
“Strange days indeed,” NDP leader Adrian Dix mused on his Facebook page. “The Liberals, after a week of nasty attacks on the NDP, launched an anti-John Cummins website. Absent a policy agenda, the Liberals seem to want to blame others for their
problems. This too will backfire as Ms. Clark is again misreading the public mood. People are demand-ing substance in politics these days, not photo ops and negative attacks.”
I see nothing strange in Dix rushing to the defence of Cummins, who repre-sents the NDP’s best hope for a move into the legisla-ture’s west wing. It is a bit odd for Dix to accuse oth-ers of lacking policy, as he leads a party that has been distinguished by little other than negative political tac-tics since its near-death experience in 2001.
This is almost as strange as the B.C. Liberals damn-ing Cummins as a politician who “says one thing and does another.” Yeah, that can real-ly come back to bite you.
There hasn’t been much of an anti-Dix effort yet, but you can be sure there is one sitting on the shelf, prepared for Clark’s recent-ly-abandoned fall election plan. The “nasty attacks” Dix complained about were focused on his federal par-ty’s sudden preference for Quebec seats in the House of Commons, and sniping about which Premier Clark hired more political staff –
Christy or Glen?And it was the NDP who
started the negative cycle with their own TV ad, featur-ing “Campbell Crunch” and “Christy Crunch” cereals, both “loaded with HST.”
(I can put to rest the ghastly rumour that the B.C. Liberal war room will soon unleash a gang of angry, unemployed HST stick-men.)
The U.S. tactic of going negative early, to define your rivals before they can define themselves, has worked spectacu-larly for Stephen Harper’s C o n s e r v a t i v e s . T h e y scorched federal Liberal leaders Stéphane Dion and Michael Ignatieff, and public distaste for these methods does not seem to have hurt them. The anti-Cummins campaign has a similar style, and there are indications that it may have been produced in Toronto.
The website, canttrust-cummins.ca, uses a bug-eyed photo of the former fisherman-MP that makes him look like a ray gun-wielding alien from the movie Mars Attacks. In fact our whole political scene is starting to look like a rerun of a bad 1990s movie.
It was Reform BC that rose from the ashes of Social Credit, and inspired a d e s p e r a t e G o r d o n Campbell to sing country music and take a hard line on aboriginal relations, to stitch the ruptured right back together.
Cummins defined him-self as a Reform-Alliance-Conservative MP by railing against treaties, and that continues to be the core of his thin policy book.
His other two main ideas are also pure rural popu-lism. He vows to scrap the carbon tax and suggests that municipalities should cut their costs to fund tran-sit.
Voters will have a better idea by the end of this week if Clark’s plan for “defend-ing and creating jobs” is really new policy, or merely more photo ops.
B.C. has had its first taste of California-style tax revolt. Now we have two years ahead that will be dominated by relentlessly negative, continuous cam-paigning.

Your written concern, with docu-mentation, should be sent to B.C. Press Council, 201 Selby Street, Nanaimo, B.C., V9R-2R2. For information phone 1-888-687-2213 or go to www.bcpresscouncil.org.
Election season has not even started and already we’ve heard of a lot of issues that will no doubt be brought up time and time again during the campaign.
The candidates who have already declared their intention have brought up a number of issues facing Ladysmith they want to tackle if elected, or re-elected.
One issue that seems to keep popping up is the proper development of the waterfront.
Pretty much everyone in town sees it as a valuable resource that should be developed, or at least cleaned up.
And most everyone agrees that there are better things than just residential development that could go there.
What and when and where will depend on the next council. And most of the hopeful councillors agree they would like to see something done for Ladysmith to secure its watershed areas.
The visioning session last week was a great eye-opener into what’s on the mind of Ladysmith’s residents.
Population density, arts funding and protecting the envi-ronment were some of the other topics that were brought up during the visioning session and deserve some attention from the next council.
We have a few weeks from when the official nomination period closes to the election date to bring you as much as we can on the people hoping to represent you on a municipal level.
So tell us what is important to you in Ladysmith and what issues you want to be discussed in October and November by emailing [email protected].
We will compile your results and see what trends start to emerge. No matter what you do, make sure you take part. Municipal politics is the one division of politics that affects your life most closely — from garbage collection to what will happen with that parcel of land next to your neighbourhood. So know what you want and how to express it.

Editor:
The new logo is a thousand times nicer.
Bart VogelzangLadysmith
Editor:
I like the new logo. The only thing that I noticed that was a bit strange, was that the buildings look kind of like a courthouse or a police station... I asked a few other people what they thought and they agreed.
But otherwise, it’s beautiful. Nice trees and good placement and balance.
Lena BirtwistleLadysmith
Editor:
To my eyes the current logo is visually alive and tells me “Vibrant Community.” The proposed logo to me is flat and says “Sleepy Town”.
Again, to my eyes, the current logo appears three-dimensional and is a superb design that per-haps could stand a bit of updat-ing without destroying the current ‘feel’. The proposed logo looks like traditional standard fare and seems soooo ‘yesterday’.
As far as the web designers go, I cannot fathom why the town would change its logo mainly because the designers have indi-cated that “ ........ the current logo is difficult to work with ......... “. This surely is the tail wagging the dog.
Peter BlumelLadysmith
Editor:
I like the new logo, represents Ladysmith town center, and is very recognizable.
Brent BrowningLadysmith
Editor:
Absolutely love the new logo...
please consider it seriously! It has much more eye appeal and truly says ‘Ladysmith’... in comparison to the old one.
The MilligansLadysmith
Editor:
I really feel the old one is much better. Further the cost of imple-menting a new one, has it been taken into consideration?
A number of businesses, as well as signs have the old one in place.
A number of letterheads would need the graphic changed. I really think there are much more war-ranted things to do with the tax dollars of the town.
It appears that someone has nothing to do but sit on public
servant pay trying to stroke their own ego with an endorsement at the bottom of the change form.
I say forget it. I say think about something to benefit all citizens. (street/sidewalk maintenance, transit that will actually accom-modate the seniors etc.).
Tom McCannLadysmith
Editor:
Do not allow business develop-ment in the residential area as sug-gested by Ms. Dashwood.
The town is small enough for folks to get to everything with-out creating “hang out areas for youths” more than we already have a store on Fourth Avenue.
This is a really nice clean little
community spoken about clear across Canada.
Leave it alone do not disrupt and try and fix something that is not broken.

Candy Stripers neededNiomi PearsonTHE CHRONICLE
Youths wanting to lend a helping hand can now pick up an application for the 2011/2012 Candy Striper program.
Program manager Deb Henderson said they are looking for both male and female students ages 13 to 18 to volunteer their
time - two hours a week — from October to April — at the Lodge on Fourth.“There is a definite
need a t the lodge for candy stripers,” Henderson said. “And the lodge is so pleased to have them.”
Candy stripers, known for their traditional red and white striped uniforms, provide cru-
cial social support for seniors living in care. Whereas once candy stripers were assigned to porter and feed patients, that time is now spent painting fin-gernails, reading out loud, making cards and other social activities.“A lot of the candy
stripers will visit peo-ple that don’t get a lot of visitors, and they can help them with little tasks they want done... whatever the residents want,” Henderson said.
Not only does candy striping provide stu-dents with the manda-tory volunteer hours required for school, it is also good experience and a way for those considering a career in the medical field to get a feel for what they might be up against in the future, Henderson explained.“It gives the girls a
feeling of communi-ty, that they’re doing something for their community,” she said.
“And it inspires more confidence in young women.”
“They’re very mature for their age.”
In addition to those benefits, there are two $4,000 bursaries avail-able to high school graduating students who are planning to pursue an education in the medical field and have completed two years of the candy striping program.“A lot of universities
call me for references for those that put it on their college applica-tion,” Henderson said.
“And it does look really good on a resume.”
T h e a p p l i c a t i o n s are avai lable from the guidance depart-ment of Ladysmith Secondary School and the Auxiliary Thrift Store. Completed appli-cations must be submit-ted before the deadline of September 29.“We had a great group
of candy stripers last year, and I’d like to invite them all to partic-ipate again,” Henderson said.
For more informa-tion, contact Deb at 245-2946.

Stay on track with Island Tour de Rock fundraiser
Your Black Press community newspaper has the Tour de Rock covered.
As an official media sponsor of the 2011 Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock, Black Press has pulled out all the stops to give readers insight into every angle of the Sept. 24 to Oct. 7 ride.
We’ve even got a rider – Nanaimo News Bulletin reporter/photographer Chris Bush – on the team. He’s on Twitter (@chrisbushtdr) and has been busy tweeting and blogging (http://blogs.bclocal-news.com/bushsblog/) about his training journey and will be keeping it up throughout the two-week ride.
With less than a week to go before the riders embark from Port Alice and start their 1,000-kilo-metre pedal down-Island, Black Press newspapers have added lots of options for readers to keep updated on the tour’s progress.
Of course, our traditional print papers have already offered numerous news stories about the tour, the riders from each community, and the people who help them out.
On the web, we’ve expanded our Tour de Rock presence with a ride-specific site (www.bclocal-news.com/tour-de-rock/) with tons of ride-related content.
Each of our websites has several clear entry points to lead you to the Tour de Rock site, which includes lots of information about the ride, an interactive route map and official tour program available online, a TwitterFall (People can con-tribute to the ongoing conversation by following the hash tag #tourderock), a public Flickr photo gallery, videos, links to other Tour de Rock pages, as well as Chris Bush’s blog and ways to donate to him or any of the riders.
Readers can expect this site to start getting lots of activity, and even more fresh content.
Journalists in our various Island newsrooms will also be tweeting as the tour rides into their towns and loading stories and photos to the website as quickly as they can.
R e a d e r s c a n e v e n h e l p c o n t r i b -u t e b y s u b m i t t i n g t h e i r o w n p h o t o s to the F l ickr ga l lery (www.f l ickr.com/groups/2011tourderock/pool/) or videos – the more the merrier. To upload video, simply go to www.BCDailyBuzz.com, set up a profile and load your video.
It gets even better, Black Press is giving away two bike packages from Trek Bikes in Victoria – readers can enter at any Black Press office and online entry will be available once the tour gets underway.
Winners will be chosen and announced near the completion of the ride.

The Hollow’s tangled plot keeps audience guessing until the endThe Chronicle reviews Ladysmith Little Theatre’s latest murder mystery
Saturday evening’s dark and dreary weath-er provided the perfect stage for a retelling of a classic Agatha Christie tale.A d u l t e r y, m u r d e r
and madness form the primary foundation of The Hollow, which is now in its second week of performance at the Ladysmith Little Theatre.
At the centre of this unfortunate series of events is John Cristow (Rob Smith), a suc-cessful doctor who has come to The Hollow, home of Lucy and Henry Angkatell (Inge Cathers and Gordon McInnis) for the week-e n d w i t h h i s w i f e
Gerde (Tabi Jasper), who, while boring has provided a stable mar-riage for Cristow, after having had his heart broken by his ex-mis-tress Veronica Cray, the movie star.A l s o v i s i t i n g t h e
home i s Cr is tow’s lover, Henrietta, a tal-ented sculptor, who is constantly rejecting Henry’s distant cousin, Edward Angkatell.
The plot thickens when Veronica Cray shows up unexpect-edly in the cottage down the lane. Cray is determined to have Cristow back again, at any cost.
The next day, Gerde finds Cristow dying on the floor of Angkatell’s home, after being shot with a pistol.
With John just having returned late in the wee hours of the morning from a visit with Cray, it would seem most likely that Gerde is the murderer.
However, the pro-duction’s large cast provides a plethora of potential murderers to suspect, particularly as each character’s motivation for mur-der is slowly unveiled both before and after Cristow’s death.
Adding to that is Inge Cathers’ comedic por-trayal of Lucy Angkatell, who’s strange behav-iour ensures that not even the most eccentric of the characters is left without suspicion.
While the entire cast of The Hollow is to be com-mended for their stellar
performances, perhaps the most impressive performance of the evening was that of Malinda Schenker and her portrayal of the tortured and emotional Henrietta.
As our summer weath-er begins to dwindle into less than favorable conditions, it is the per-fect time to take in a production at our local theatre. The Hollow, with its
twists and turns, pro-vides great entertain-ment value.

Jeremy Crittenden is taken by the seem-ing dual personality of Mozart, the musical genius he portrays in Chemainus Theatre’s Amadeus.“I really connect with
the character,” said Crittenden, 29, who d e p i c t s Wo l f g a n g Amadeus Mozart at age 26 to his late 30s.“He ’s ex t rover ted
with a dirtier sense of humour and strong convictions about how he sees the world, and creativity.“That doesn’t always
jibe with the people around him.”
Mozart would likely have been a riot at bar-becues back in 1780s Vienna.
The party animal comes alive in Peter Schaffer’s script for the Amadeus play, and the movie that made Mozart a household name.“Schaffer made some
changes for the movie but the story line of (jealous composer) Salieri recounting what happened to Mozart is the same.”
Crittenden is emotion-ally drained playing the brilliant guy most folks know with “the gleeful laugh; the flamboy-ance.”“But if I could go back
and meet Mozart, I’d ask him how he wrote, and how compositions happened in his head — there weren’t a lot cor-
rections on paper.“I’d like to know how
the music sounded in Mozart’s mind and how it came to him — in a flash, did it develop over a week, or was it just magic?”
Answers arrive in Schaffer’s l iberties about the complex composer’s life and times, he said.
The Medicine Hat native — trained at
Gastown Actors’ Studio — said his research r e v e a l e d M o z a r t ’s
“scatological sense of humor.”“There was an incred-
ible mix of baseness and sophistication for the time he lived in.”
Touching innocence too.“He’s like Shakespeare
who wrote hundreds of years ago but his sto-ries and plays are still
breathtaking and mys-tifying, and Mozart’s music is the same.”Amadeus features
w i g s a n d N o r m a Bowen’s period cos-tumes, plus sections from Mozart ’s mas-terpieces such as The Requiem Mass, and The Marriage of Figaro.
Cri t tenden cal led Amadeus a life journey.“He arrives in Vienna
destined for stardom.
“He shoots up so fast then falls so quickly. Suddenly he’s destitute; his dad dies; his wife leaves him; he’s driven mad and he dies.”
But Mozart believed in himself and chased what he wanted with incredible passion, he said.“Even if you’re not
a classical music fan, you can’t help but be sucked in.”
Party like it’s 1780Jeremy Crittenden brings out lively personality of Amadeus Mozart in production
Jeremy Crittenden is Mozart and Samantha Currie is Constanze Weber in the Chemainus Theatre Festival’s staging of Amadeus that started last week. ANDREW LEONG/BLACK PRESS

Ladysmith’s Matt Grant is making his p r e s e n c e k n o w n among the Cowichan Capitals organization.
Jim Ingram, associ-ate coach and GM, said Matt’s size is serv-ing the team well and there is little doubt the almost 18 year old will make the team.“He’s a big kid with a lot of skill,” said Ingram of what he has seen so far of Matt.
Matt is joining the Capitals after a sea-son with the Moose Jaw Warriors in the WHL. Ingram said the two leagues offer dif-ferent styles of play and added they are looking forward to Matt’s puck-handling abilities. Plus with a
6-ft-3, 190 lb. frame, Matt is expected to be a great presence in front of the net.“He’s got long legs, long arms, skate’s well for a big kid, handles the puck very well.”
Ingram said Matt is slated for a definite offensive position and they are hoping he puts up some good numbers.“He’s still going to have to work very hard at developing his game. You’ve got lots to learn at every level.”“He’s a hard-working forward and hopefully we will see a lot of improvement out of him and if the Western Hockey League comes calling and we’ve been able to help him move along, that’s what we’re here for.
Matt is the young brother of Jordan, who last year climbed the scoring charts to land second overall in scoring in the entire BCHL.
Ingram said it is too soon to be drawing comparisons between the brothers.
Ingram coached Jordan, too, when he had his Island coach-ing job with Kerry Park.“Jordan was a pure goal scorer. He had a great shot, good nose for the net. I think Matt has a lot of those qualities, but to say that he’s Jordan, it’s a little premature to say that.”
Ingram said he is pleased with the way the Capitals have been taking shape, noting the players
have made this year’s selection the hardest in his BCHL career.“It’s been a competi-tive camp and lots of skill and the work ethic ... that we’ve seen out the kids so far has left us in a real tough spot as
coaches.”Matt and Jordan’s
mom, Debbie, said the two boys have always been crazy about hockey.“For him to go away last year to play in the WHL at 16 was huge.”
And if you happen to
pick up the new NHL 12 game, look for Matt who was featured as a Moose Jaw player, complete with pic-tures and stats.
Debbie said having Matt playing in Moose Jaw last year was hard on his education
and his family is glad to have him closer to home.
T h e C o w i c h a n Capitals start their regular season Friday, September 23 against the Victoria Grizzlies at Bear Mountain Arena.
After a season of playing in the WHL in Moose Jaw, Ladysmith’s Matt Grant will likely return to B.C. to play for the Cowichan Capitals in the BCHL. ANDREW LEONG/BLACK PRESS
Ladysmith area well represented at Seniors’ Games
The Ladysmith and Chemainus area was well represented at the 2011 BC Seniors Games by a host of local talent.
The Seniors’ Games, held August 16-20 in Trail this year, is
an annual event that brings together resi-dents ages 55+ togeth-er for a plethora of sports that test both physical and mental strength.
Nola Hendrie , of Chemainus, who par-ticipates in track and field events with her husband Tim, likened
the games to a school sports day.“Everybody supports
one another and it doesn’t matter wheth-er you’re at the begin-ning stage, everybody’s great, and it’s always inspiring to see the ones who are over 90 breaking records and how well people do up
to quite an advanced age,” she said. “I find the competition as you get older, like the over 70s, they’re incred-ible but there’s not so much competition at my age (56) because a lot of people don’t know about it.”
Nola brought home three gold medals in
the 55-59 age catego-ries in high jump, long jump and 100 metre track. She also placed silver in discus, weight pentathalon, while Tim, 60, earned a sil-ver in the pentatha-lon and bronze in 800 metre track.
Nola said she is far from a star athlete
but hopes to keep pro-gressing her track and field training.“I participate and have fun,” she said.
Ladysmith resident Carol Wheat competed in team bowling along-side residents David and Joyce Mitchell, and garnered three silver medals in the
individual 5-pin-bowl category.
W h e a t h a s b e e n bowling for about 25-30 years and keeps up her game by prac-ticing twice a week.“It gets me out and I meet different people,” she said. “A lot of the people I bowl with are

my friends.”E u l a h Va r t y, o f
Chemainus, is a com-petitive swimmer who has participated in the Seniors Games for nearly two decades. Var ty came home with six medals from this year’s Games, in the 50m Butterf ly, 50m Breaststroke, 400m Freestyle, 800m F r e e s t y l e , 1 0 0 m Backstroke and 100m Individual Medley.
In the last e ight months, Varty has par-ticipated in nine swim meets. Her competi-tions have drawn her to places like Australia, Oregon, Montreal and California. In October, she will be heading to Utah for another swim meet.
When asked why she competes, Eulah’s answer is simple. “ W h y n o t ? ” s h e remarks. “I’ve always d o n e s p o r t s , I ’ v e played golf, everything, and now I just do the swimming, mostly.”
For track sprint vet-erans Vern and Karen Shook, of Chemainus, the Seniors Games are a refreshing change
from the meets they usually compete at, where the competition is not limited by age.“That’s the special part about the seniors games... we don’t have to worry about look-ing so slow alongside
the kids,” said Vern, 69. “We don’t miss a year, we’ve been going to them for 10 years or so now.”
Shook’s 31-second sprint in the 200m category garnered him a silver medal
finish. By compari-son, 25-year-old Usain Bolt, of Jamaica, cur-rently holds the world record for 200m, at 19.19 seconds.“I ran a good race... I like to think I could have done better,” Shook said.
In July, the Shooks participated in the World Masters down in Sacremento, where many ex-olympians and Olympians com-pete. To prepare for competition, Vern and Karen work out about six times a week.“Running is the most primally perfect thing a person can do, espe-cially running fast,” Vern said. “We run for the fun of run-ning and sometimes a good training workout is just as invigorating and fun as a good track meet.”
Other local represen-tatives at the Seniors Games included gold medal curlers Shirley S loan and Joanne Phillips, soccer team silver medalist Lloyd Dye , s i lver medal golfer Morris Jensen and Bert Davis, a gold and silver medalist in darts.

KNIGHTON, Jack Lester1924 – 2011
It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Jack Lester Knighton in his home, September 8, 2011.
He was predeceased by his wife, Beulah in 1996 and great-grandson Callum Brown in 2010. Jack is survived by his sister Doris and brother Matt (Sandy); children Jack Jr. (Jean), Shannon Ernst (Herb), Dan (Corrine), Kimberly and Susan (Dean); grandchildren Kimberly, Tammy (Jessie), Susan (Dean), Paul (Krissy), Brian (Samantha); great-grandchildren Zachary, Isaac, Abigail, Ben, Ely, Jada, Emily, Mathew, Jakob, Cadence and Ivy.
