Aggressive cougar spotted on trailLindsay ChungTHE CHRONICLE

Ladysmith’s well-used Holland Creek Trail was closed Monday (Aug. 11) after a dog chased away a cougar exhibiting aggressive be-haviour the day before.

Conservation officer Troy Sterling confirms that a cougar came up the slope directly at two people and a dog walking on the trail Sunday af-ternoon (Aug. 10). “When the dog noticed the cougar, the dog chased the cougar away,” he said. “The people believe if the dog wasn’t there, [the cougar] would have attacked. It was fo-cused on them and had aggressive behaviour. It wasn’t stalking them but was coming right at them.”

This occurred around 3:30 p.m., and Sterling says that is unusual behaviour, as cougars usually come out at dusk or in the evening hours.

Sterling says there have been six other reports of cougars in that area in the past two months, and the cougar may have turned toward people because it could be sickly or malnourished.According to Sterling, it is “quite

possible” that all the reports are of the same cougar because the ani-mals do have territories and they do defend them, but that hasn’t been confirmed.“It’s most likely the same cougar,

but I can’t be sure because we don’t have real good descriptions from the other six reports,” he said.

Conservation officers weren’t able to bring in hounds on Sunday to search for the cougar because it had been too long since the report and the time they determined it was

an aggressive cougar, and the ani-mal’s scent dissipates faster in such hot weather, explained Sterling.

Now, they will wait for reports from the public, and if they get a fresh sighting, they will hope-fully be able to get the hounds in to search the area if the report is made quickly. Because of the cou-gar’s aggressive behaviour, it will probably be destroyed once it is found, explained Sterling.

If anybody runs into a cougar, Sterling recommends they make themselves look big and place other people on their shoulders, make eye contact with the cougar because it may see that as a threat and back away, do not run, do not scream, and back away slowly if you can. If you have a cellphone, call the Conservation Office at 1-877-952-7277 or call 9-1-1 if you are in danger. Sterling encourages people to carry bear spray or an air horn and to avoid travelling alone.

Based on the conservation offi-cers’ advice, the Town of Ladysmith closed the Holland Creek Trail Sun-day until further notice, confirmed city manager Ruth Malli.

Malli notes that the conservation officers say this incident is a re-minder that the Holland Creek Trail is a corridor for wildlife.“There’s obviously more concern because of this animal being ag-gressive,” she said. “It’s a good re-minder to all of us.”

Malli encourages the public to visit the Town’s website at www.ladysmith.ca for updates on the sta-tus of the trail. As well, the website www.wildsafebc.com offers infor-mation and a mapping database of all dangerous wildlife complaints

In brief John Koury wants to be mayorPeter RuslandTHE CHRONICLE

North Cowichan’s outspo-ken councillor John Koury is officially seeking the mayor’s chair in the Nov. 15 election.

Citing budgetary concerns, high taxes, missed develop-ment opportunities, and mu-nicipal management issues, Koury is the first hopeful to declare he’s running to replace current mayor, Jon Lefebure.“We need to raise the stan-

dard of governance that is currently lacking,” the two-term councillor says in a press release. “We need to end political activism at the council table and restore reasonable, common-sense decision making to North Cowichan. Voters are ready for a change.”

Lefebure was mum this week when asked by the News Leader Pictorial if he’ll seek his fourth non-consecutive term in the mayor’s seat he’s held since being reelected in the 2011 election. (He was also elect-

ed in 2002 and 2005).“I’m going to make my

(mayoral candidacy) deci-sion in early September,” he said of discussing another term — now set at four years by Victoria — with his family, while mulling “if the community wants me back.”

Obviously Koury doesn’t, and he’s willing to risk his

seat to challenge Lefebure.“There is a lot to do to put

North Cowichan on the path back to prosperity.“We are punching way be-

low our weight in economic development and I know we can achieve more,” his re-lease claims.

Lefebure said he wasn’t surprised about Koury’s

mayoral aspirations that have basically been a poorly guarded secret.“He’s made it clear by his

actions,” the mayor said of Koury’s blunt stances dur-ing budgetary and other de-bates.

But Lefebure declined to comment about Koury’s fis-cal-management claims in

his release.“It really doesn’t make

much sense to me,” he said of Koury’s statement that

“we need to set the economic table for sustainable growth. Growth that will provide job opportunities for working families.”

Lefebure cited council’s tax-revitalization bylaw to spark smart growth and den-sification by working with developers in the University Village, Crofton, Chemainus and elsewhere.“We have set the table very

well for controlled develop-ment in designated areas,” Lefebure said, pointing to commercial-condo projects in Crofton and near Dun-can, plus Mural Town’s new shopping centre on Pine Street.

Meanwhile, Koury — who formerly sought Cowichan riding’s federal seat and lost

— claims “people are ready to hold them (some coun-cillors) to account for the past three years, and I am looking forward to engaging with the public on my own track record.”

The Chemainus Health Care Aux-iliary is earning recognition for the contributions it makes to health care on Vancouver Island and be-yond.

The Chemainus Health Care Aux-iliary (CHCA) has been named as a finalist for the Outstanding Phil-anthropic Service Club Award as part of the 2014 Vancouver Island National Philanthropy Day Event. Three finalist have been named for each of the six award categories, and winners will be announced at the National Philanthropy Day Cel-ebration taking place Tuesday, Nov. 18 in Victoria.“It’s a real honour,” said Mimi

Zuyderduyn, the auxiliary’s record-ing secretary. “We’re just so happy to do this. When you come to the Thrift Shop, the people there are so happy. Everyone has connections with someone who has needed the services of BC Children’s Hospital. To be recognized and make people aware of what people can do, even 50 cents, it all adds up.”

Zuyderduyn says the CHCA was nominated for its generous contribu-tions to local health care, including supporting the Chemainus Health Care Centre and BC Children’s Hos-pital in Vancouver.

By the end of 2014, the CHCA will have donated $275,000, and the auxiliary has pledged an addition-al $225,000 by the end of 2018 to bring its health care contributions through Thrift Shop sales to half a million dollars.

“The significant money the group raises supports a wide range of charities on Vancouver Island,” the Association of Fundraising Profes-sionals Vancouver Island website states in its list of award finalists.

“While all of this makes the Auxiliary incredibly impressive, what really stands out is the way that they do their charitable work with an ener-gy and enthusiasm that inspires and celebrates philanthropy.”

The auxiliary is able to donate so much money because of the success of its Thrift Shop. Through the Thrift Shop, the auxiliary raises funds for equipment to support patient care at Chemainus Health Care Centre,

Cowichan District Hospital, Victoria Jubilee Hospital and BC Children’s Hospital, as well as other local orga-nizations such as the Cowichan Hos-pice Society, Providence Farm, Tour de Rock and the Harvest House Food Bank, and the auxiliary pro-vides bursaries to Chemainus Sec-ondary School students.

In recent years, the CHCA has donated $275,000 to BC Children’s Hospital. Last year, the CHCA donat-ed $75,000 to BC Children’s Hospital, and some auxiliary members had a chance to go to a campaign finale event in May and see the plan for the Teck Acute Care Centre.“It was just remarkable,” said Zuy-

derduyn.About 170 volunteers and one paid

manager run the popular Thrift Shop at the corner of Maple and Oak streets.“It’s very community- and people-

minded,” Zuyderduyn says of the Thrift Shop. “There are a lot of mem-bers, and many of them are retired and have been doing it for 30 years. They’re very dedicated.”

Zuyderduyn believes part of what makes the Thrift Shop so popular is that you can find pretty much any-thing you need there.“It’s like treasure hunting,” she said.

“You just never know what a person’s going to find.”

Local couple wins $1 millionStaff Writerthe chronicle

Have you ever asked yourself what you would do with $1 mil-lion?

Roberta and Sidney Roemer of Ladysmith aren’t just asking any-more. A guaranteed $1 million win from the July 16 Lotto 6/49 Draw means they’re actually planning what to do with that much money.

The Roemers have a specific system for playing Lotto 6/49 and their other favourite lottery games, accord-ing to a press release from the BC Lottery Corporation (BCLC). They compile all their tickets purchased throughout the week and check them all at once at the end of the week.

The Roemers didn’t even realize that they had won the guaran-teed $1 million Lotto 6/49 prize until al-most a week after the draw, according to the BCLC.

The winning ticket

was purchased at the 49th Parallel Grocery store in Ladysmith. “As luck would have

it, the same clerk that sold the Roemers the winning ticket was also working when Ro-berta went in to check their week’s worth of tickets,” states the BCLC. “The retailer just finished saying

that there are never any lottery winners in Ladysmith when $1,000,000 popped up on the screen. Upon seeing all the zeros, Roberta yelled, which got everyone’s atten-tion to join her in the celebration.”“Roberta rushed home and said we had to go to Vancouver to-

morrow and showed me the validation slip. I was stunned,” re-called Sidney.

According to BCLC, Roberta will be quit-ting her job, and the couple plans on fin-ishing home renova-tions, purchasing a new truck and taking a tropical vacation in the near future.

Summer job has Fringe benefitsLindsay Chungthe chronicle

It’s unpredictable, it’s unique, and it’s a chance to support artists and the com-munity.

It’s the Nanaimo Fringe Festival, fea-turing 48 performanc-es over eight days.

The fourth annual Nanaimo Fringe Fes-tival runs Aug. 14-17 and Aug. 21-24 at Harbour City Theatre (25 Victoria Rd.) and Nanaimo Museum (100 Museum Way).

Nanaimo Fringe Festival is a non-profit community arts event that connects Nanaimo to the thriv-ing circuit of fringe festivals that sweeps across Canada every summer. In addition to drawing touring artists to Nanaimo, half of the schedule is reserved for local artists.

Ladysmith’s Keauna Miller is this year’s assistant festival co-ordinator and vol-unteer co-ordinator. The 2014 Ladysmith Secondary School (LSS) graduate start-ed working with Nanaimo Fringe at the end of June, and she has been busy do-ing public relations work, distributing posters and festival brochures and co-ordinating volunteers. Once the festival be-gins, she will be in charge of volunteers at the box office, managing one of the venues, connecting the technicians and volunteers to make sure the shows are ready, and generally making sure every-thing runs smoothly.

Miller was very in-volved in theatre and improv at LSS and re-cently starred in and directed The 25th An-nual Putnam County Spelling Bee this past spring.“I was really ex-

cited to be able to expand my theatre

connections outside of Ladysmith, and I also think the fringe movement itself is fantastic,” Miller said of what attracted her to the job.

She likes that with fringe festivals, shows are chosen by lottery.“My favourite thing about it is we don’t pick and choose, so really, anything can happen,” said Miller. “We don’t see the shows before they come. It’s great because it can be a grand-new artist or someone who’s estab-lished and wants to try something new.”

Miller has been en-joying her work with Nanaimo Fringe.“I’ve learned a lot,” she said. “I wasn’t super familiar with fringe festivals out-side of Edinburgh’s fringe festival before this, so I’ve learned a lot about what the festival actually is and how much work it takes to make it run.”

The job seems like a perfect fit for Miller, who will be moving to Nanaimo this fall to study general studies at Vancouver Island

University. She hopes to eventually go to the University of Al-berta in Edmonton and earn her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting.“I love theatre, and I’m moving to Nanaimo [this fall], and I really wanted to have a foothold in the community,” she said. “It’s been re-ally great for making connections, and be-cause of the nature of the festival where it’s smaller-scale shows, it’s something I can see myself doing.”

Miller is excited about the Nanaimo Fringe Festival, and she encourages Ladysmith residents to come see the shows.“I also really encour-age people who are unsure about it to come tot our preview night,” she said. “It’s a free event at the Harbour City Theatre, and each show is go-ing to do a five-min-ute preview to con-vince you to go see their show. I’m really excited to see it.”

The free Preview Night takes place Wednesday, Aug. 13 at 8 p.m. at the Harbour City Theatre.

During the festival, there is a free Fringe Hub Aug. 14-17 and Aug. 21-23 until mid-night at Vault Café. This is a chance for artists and audiences to meet, swap show review and enjoy free entertainment.“Artists will be there, and audience mem-bers, volunteers and myself will be able to interact with them, and I’m really excited about that,” said Mill-er.

Speed limit should be 70 km/h

Editor: Living on Bayview Av-

enue, I totally relate to the observations made by fel-low residents in the Aug. 5 article on highway noise and speed.

We also moved here in 2000 and have noticed the manifold increase in the now almost unbear-able noise from the high-way due to the increasing number of vehicles and motorbikes, and the ever increasing average speed. I understand that the Town at one time had a choice between the highway pass-ing above Ladysmith or bisecting the town. Ap-parently, it was felt that the local economy would suffer if the highway went around the town, as today it does in Nanaimo, Parks-ville and towns north. I think those towns have proven that apart from the odd car running low on gas, there is no local eco-nomic benefit from a free-way. Only local people and tourists, and other people who have Ladysmith as a destination, will add to the local economy. Add-ing to the population will do a lot more than adding

to the number of cars rac-ing through town. Now we are left with a highway that separates the town from a lovely waterfront, hinders waterfront development and stands in the way of this town’s potential as a centre of history, culture and recreation. It has been proven that towns that of-fer those elements tend to attract clean industry with high-paying jobs, and high-income residents, which lowers taxes and enhances living in Ladysmith.

Another factor is air qual-ity. When average speed goes from 70 km/h to 90 km/h, there is a 63-per-cent increase in the amount of carbon dioxide spewed into the air.

I have no doubt that population growth on the North Island will eventu-ally force the continuation of the Campbell River-to-Nanaimo freeway south to Victoria, around Ladysmith and Duncan. But that will take years. In the mean-time, the mayor gives us no hope of improvement. He states that the Depart-ment of Highways built the road for speeds up to 110 km/h, and only reluctantly reduced it to 70 km/h for the portion that passes the downtown area.

I, for one, believe in de-mocracy and the power of the individual in a free so-ciety. I think that the speed limit should be 70 km/h, strictly enforced, from just before South Davis Road to the Mohawk Service Sta-tion. Trucking companies will object, as it will add to their travel time. That re-minds me of a famous race between two cars, between New York and Los Angeles. One team was to travel, observing strictly all speed limits, the other using their own judgment. The one ob-serving all speed limits ar-rived 20 minutes after the other one.

I also think that we need to examine the noise lev-el of motorbikes. I can-not imagine that these are within legal limits, or possibly limits should be lowered and/or enforced. I have sent a copy of this letter to mayor and coun-cil, but it appears that they have given up. What will the rest of us do?

Vince DevriesLadysmith

Is this what we need?

Editor: Town council is con-

sidering a new bylaw to permit coach housing ... Is this what we need in Ladysmith?

Is anyone going to pay double taxes on their prop-erty? More water usage ... More garbage collection ... Will the home owner who has one on their property pay for that too? I think not ... We don’t need this in Ladysmith, maybe Vic-toria, as there are about 50 low-income houses in town now called condos for sale or rent already ... Let them buy or rent one and move into one of them or a trailer park if they need a place to live ...

Here is a cartoon I drew that I believe the new coach house will look like. Do you want to see this in your neighbour’s yard or across the alley from you? I don’t.

There are major safety concerns on the Trans-Canada Highway, especially near Coronation Mall

Editor:

Editor’s note: This is a copy of a letter sent to Ladysmith council

Recently, I read the article in the Chronicle by Lindsay Chung regarding the noise and speed on the Trans-Canada Highway.

The Blatchfords spoke to council July 21 with reference to this issue. I, too, have the same concerns living directly above the highway on Clarke Road.

In the past, I had phoned the minister of trans-port asking if the speed could be reduced on the highway for all of Ladysmith as it is for Chemainus. They responded by saying that they considered that stretch of highway with the 90-kilometre speed designation to be very safe and that there was no reason to lower the limit.

As the Blatchfords have stated, there are ma-jor safety concerns, especially at the pedestrian crossing near Coronation Mall, which is on the Trans-Canada Highway.

Many of the trucks need to use their jake breaks in order to stop for the lights. This also adds to the noise issue.

As well, the multiple motorcycles that drive by with inadequate mufflers (mostly Harleys) make it so that we cannot speak to each other in our backyard because we cannot hear anything but the exhausts and brakes.

I wholeheartedly support a noise and speed bylaw for the entire stretch of the Trans-Canada Highway in Ladysmith. Hopefully MOTI will help to rectify this situation.

It’s a chance to sup-port the Ladysmith Little Theatre, get rid of unused items hang-ing around your house and find a few new treasures.

It’s being billed as The Biggest Garage Sale Ever, and on Saturday, Aug. 23, Ladysmith Little Theatre will turn into a bargain hunter’s paradise. The fundrais-ing sale takes place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 4985 Christie Rd.

The Ladysmith Play-ers Society purchased the theatre build-ing, the Old Diamond School, from School District 68 last year, and the volunteers are now busy fundraising to supplement their building fund. They hope The Biggest Ga-rage Sale Ever will be a major contributor to their building fund.

LLT will be selling off props and set pieces that are fully function-al but no longer being used, and there will also be items donated

from community mem-bers, such as dishes, books, clothing and collectibles.“We’re going to use

the entire theatre area,” said Bill Johnston, LLT’s co-artistic direc-tor. “It’s going to be-come one giant second-hand store, as it were. There will be some-thing for everyone.”

This week, LLT is accepting donations for sale. If you have anything you’d like to donate to the cause, you can drop it off at the theatre Thursday, Aug. 14 between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. If you can’t make the drop-off time, contact Johnston at [email protected] to make arrangements.

Johnston says if LLT didn’t own the building, they would have to pay to rent rehearsal and performance space, and those costs would have to trickle down into ticket prices.“One of the major

expenses for any the-atre group is the per-forming space,” said Johnston. “Owning the building helps us

maintain an accessible ticket price. Owning the building is impor-tant for financial acces-sibility and for storage for sets, costumes and props. Ladysmith Little Theatre is incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to pur-chase the building, and now all we have to do is continue to fix it up.”

Staff WriterTHE CHRONICLE

Kendall Patrick be-lieves that art should serve a purpose great-er than the ego and influence of the artist who creates it.

Like the poet and troubadour of days

gone by, Patrick is firm in the conviction that her melodic musings should challenge pre-conceived notions and conventional thinking.

Patrick is an artist whose passion and purpose guide her ev-ery career move.“I believe that, for me,

the gift of songwriting comes with a social responsibility,” the Ladysmith native says on her website. “Music can have a big impact on people. Because I choose my influences carefully, I have been guided to strength, val-idation, empowerment, and hope. I find a lot of mainstream pop mu-

sic parallels political tragedy, where leaders with great power use

their words to under-mine and control the population, playing on fear and insecurity.”

With her new band, Kendall Patrick and The Headless Bettys, featuring Lena Birtwis-tle, Caleb Burness, Brendan Holm, Brent Chauvin and Amelia Thomas, Patrick is cre-ating music that not only has a profound and powerful message but songs that are con-veyed in a manner that is both accessible and memorable.

The band will share that message this Sun-day (Aug. 17) during Concerts in the Park at the Transfer Beach Amphitheatre.

Kendall Patrick and the Headless Bettys is centralized around showcasing Patrick’s original music. Also in the mix are original tunes by Lena Birtwis-tle, and select cover songs including Syd-ney by Brett Dennen and Kids by MGMT.

Patrick has released three albums under

her own name, but the music she is now cre-ating with The Head-less Bettys is some-what of a departure from what was heard on House of Ink, See It Coming and The Other Side, according to Pat-rick’s bio.“The overall sound

of the new material differs from my other albums because we are using specific and consistent voices and instruments,” she says.

“The music is very re-latable to audiences during the live experi-ence. It has a more en-lightening, refreshing and even fun sound to it.”

Kendall Patrick and the Headless Bettys performs Sunday, Aug. 17 at 6 p.m. at the Transfer Beach Am-phitheatre, weather permitting. Admission is by donation, and the money raised helps the Ladysmith Resources Centre Association provide programs for people in our commu-nity free of charge.

The next Concerts in the Park show features Kendall Patrick and the Headless Bettys Sunday, Aug. 17 at 6 p.m. at the Transfer Beach Amphitheatre. FILE PHOTO

An Escalade worth the waitCadillac recently held the introduction of its all-new Escalade in the heart of Toronto, specifically the heart of Yorkville. This upscale slice of Toronto real estate is home to spendy shops, exclusive restaurants and luxurious ho-tels. This is a place to be seen or be seen in a vehicle that projects the image one wants to portray. Media guests for the Escalade launch stayed at To-ronto’s very first boutique hotel, The Hazelton. As one Torontonian put it, “that’s about the fanciest place in town.” It certainly draws an upscale crowd of rich people, or posers, looking the part. With a steady lineup of Ferrari, McLaren and other exotics parked outside, Cadillac was front and centre showing off its new full-size luxury SUV to a young, well-healed crowd of Toronto socialites and business people.

LooksGetting a full-size truck into a boutique hotel is like trying to park in one of those parking spots labelled “small car”. To get around this, the party part of the launch was held on a garage rooftop, transformed into a nightclub, complete with gourmet finger food, fancy

cocktails and live performers, including the requisite fire-twirling entertainers. There was even an Escalade-inspired golf cart to shuttle guests to the roof. The star of the show was the all-new 2015 Escalade, a vehicle Cadillac hopes will make up about 20 per cent of its overall sales. With a $6,000 price drop and very competitive packages, they hope even wealthy shoppers will stop to see the value in this SUV. It sure got attention, thanks to the fabulous LED projector headlamps and taillights. The angular shape is very contemporary and the sleeker sheet metal looks up to date.InsideThe Escalade has always made an impact when it arrives at any destination; the sheer size and attitude it projects says a lot about the person driving it. It is inside that needed to be refreshed the most, and the attention to detail Cadillac infused in its new truck should pay dividends. Any luxury buyer expects leather, wood, and smart infotainment and Cadillac delivers on all of these. The dash and doors are cov-ered with hand cut leather. The open-grain wood and contrasting interior materials like faux suede all make it look as rich as the buyer expects. Front and centre is Cadillac’s CUE entertainment system that I find easy to operate and interact with. The buttons below it are touch sensitive, there are no knobs or switches. The front passengers just swipe over the surface to change the volume and heat controls. DriveOne reason to buy a big truck-based SUV is to move people in numbers or tow a trailer to a cabin or cottage. That latter experience came with the drive portion of the Escalade launch, driving north of Toron-to to The Briars, a 100-hectare resort on the edge of Lake Simcoe. This family run complex includes a huge stretch of lake frontage, golf course, pools, tennis and activities for all ages and the Escalade fits right in. For moving a large family around in comfort, the

Escalade is wonderful as there is plenty of room to stretch out when the long wheelbase (ESV) model is chosen. Granted about 70 per cent of all buyers choose the shorter wheelbase as it looks less imposing and some might not need the interior vastness. Under the hood is GM’s premium 6.2L V8 with a whopping 420hp and 460 lb.-ft. of torque. This might seem like overkill but this larger engine can switch off to just four cylinders under light load, more often impacting fuel economy. The power goes to just the rear wheels, all four wheels or automatically controlled, all by a switch on the dash. My experi-ence driving for the day returned about

12L/100km in mostly highway driving. Not bad for a big truck.

VerdictThe new Escalade adds about $10,000 worth of new equipment like standard magnetic ride control for a more nimble ride. The cabin is much quieter, for doing big business deals on the phone, and the ride overall is much more refined than before. Starting at $79,900 the Escalade is for the well healed, but Cadillac representatives told me that most buyers shoot for the moon and buy the top Premium model for $90,500. The new Cadillac is fresh and much more refined, with features like never before. Do young wealthy buyers like the Cadillac brand and where it is going? The short answer is yes. GM claims this is the fastest growing luxury brand in Canada and B.C. is a hot spot for the Escalade. It has been seven years since we’ve had an all-new Escalade… the wait was worth it.

Little wins six medals at NAIGLindsay ChungTHE CHRONICLE

Swimming at the highest level she’s competed at to date, Pamela Little earned six medals at the North American In-digenous Games in Regina, Sask., late last month.

Little, a member of the Ladysmith-Che-mainus Orcas Swim Club, won a gold medal as a member of the Mixed 16&U 200m free relay team. She won two more relay medals, earning silver in the Mixed 16&U 200m medley relay and the Mixed 16&U 400m free re-lay. As well, Little won a silver medal in the Girls 16&U 100m breaststroke and an-other one in the Girls 16&U 100m butterfly.

During the Games, Little also finished fifth in the Girls 16&U 100m freestyle, sixth in the Girls 16&U 50m butterfly and seventh in the Girls 16&U 50m free-style. All but one of her times were per-sonal bests.

The North Ameri-can Indigenous Games (NAIG) is an international multi-

sport event, involv-ing North American Indigenous athletes from 13 Canadian provinces and terri-tories and 13 regions in the United States, staged intermittently since 1990. The 2014 NAIG took place in the Regina from July 20-27 and brought together 4,800 Indig-

enous athletes and coaches and 200 cul-tural performers.“It was awesome,” said Little, who has been swimming for four years.

This year, Team BC made history at the North American Indigenous Games, becoming the first team in the history

of the Games to win both the Overall Team Title and the John Fletcher Spirit Award. The John Fletcher Spirit Award is presented to the contingent that best demonstrates the spirit of teamwork, fair play, respect and integrity throughout the competition.

Team BC competed in 13 sports and won a total of 160 medals (63 gold, 49 silver and 48 bronze) over the course of the compe-tition week. This put the team in first place, just one medal ahead of Team Saskatch-ewan. This is the first time BC has won the Overall Team Title at the NAIG.

Little thinks being part of Team BC was a great experience.“It was basically like

you were part of a family,” she said.

Little says she feels good about her swim-ming at the NAIG, and she is proud of all her swims. She enjoyed competing in relays and says it was fun to work as a team.“It was amazing to actually win a medal,” she said, adding she had no idea going

into the competition that she would do so well.

Little says she en-joyed Saskatchewan, and her favourite part of competing at the NAIG was meet-ing everyone.

She says swimming in such a big com-petition “was scary at first, then after a while, it was good.”

The Orcas’ season starts again in Sep-tember, and after doing so well at the NAIG, Little is excit-ed to get going again and to reach her next goal, which is to earn her AA time.“It makes me feel more confident about what’s going to happen next,” she says of winning the NAIG medals.

Little’s coach, Du-san Toth-Szabo, is proud of Little for her accomplish-ments this summer.“It’s really great the

Orcas are represent-ed at so many levels, and hopefully it’s go-ing to be inspiring to other kids from the aboriginal commu-nity to try swimming,” he said. “This is great, going there for the first time ever and winning six medals.”

Greg SakakiTHE CHRONICLE

An upset wasn’t in the cards — the Duncan Masters were unbeatable this season.

The Duncan squad defeated the Wheatsheaf Fastball Club 6-2 July 30 at the Wheatsheaf field complex in Cedar in the championship game of the Nanaimo Senior Men’s Fast-ball League.

The final is usually a best-of-three series, but a rainout the week before led to a winner-take-all showdown.

Blake Hunter had a two-run home run for the Wheaties in defeat. Craig Snyder was the winning pitcher for Duncan and received offensive sup-port from Trevor Gicas and

Brad Robinson, who both hit homers.

The Duncan squad was un-defeated (9-0-1) in league play this summer and only allowed eight runs against in those 10 games. The team also won the B.C. Cup tournament at the Wheatsheaf fields, beat-ing Vancouver Meralomas 5-2 in the July 20 final.

In other local fastball news, Blake Hunter and Todd Bel-ton of the Wheatsheaf team are currently playing for the Sooke Loggers senior A team at the International Softball Congress World Fastball Tournament in Kitchener, Ont. from Aug. 8-16 and also the Softball Canada champion-ships in Charlottetown, P.E.I. from Aug. 26-31.

JANOVICK (nee Lapsansky), Emilia (Emily)

On August 6th, 2014 Emily passed peacefully into the spirit realm.

Emily was born to hard working European parents, Emilia Krall and Andrew Lapsansky, on April 23rd, 1929 at Ladysmith, B.C. The second youngest of seven brothers and sisters, she graduated in June of 1948 from Ladysmith High School.

During high school Emily typed letters for the principal and worked on the school

newspaper “Spion Kop”. After graduation, she performed offi ce work in Vancouver, and then spent a summer in Nanaimo before eventually settling in the Cowichan Lake area on Vancouver Island. There, Emily worked in the personnel offi ce of W.F.I. Limited.

It was shortly thereafter, and during her tenure at W.F.I., where she met her future husband Mike. The couple married on May 10th, 1952 and their union produced three children; Gayle (Peter), Gary (Terry), and Cathy (Bruce). Emily was blessed with many grandchildren; Michael and Matthew of Calgary, Alberta; Terry, Lowell and Crystal of Saskatchewan as well as three adopted grandchildren, Katie, John and Chris. She also has three great-grandchildren.

When not travelling extensively with her husband Mike, Emily kept her hands busy with sewing, knitting and crocheting. During their travels, Emily and Mike visited Reno many times as well as several other exotic places, which included Cuba and Hawaii. Emily belonged to the Honeymoon Bay Women’s Club, the Senior’s Centre in Ladysmith, as well as the Mary and Martha Group of Lake Cowichan and the Nanaimo Ostomy Group. Her winter months were fi lled up with Square and Round dancing and her summers were spent working in her beloved fl owerbeds and gardens. The bounty from her gardens were frozen, preserved or given away to friends and loved ones.

Emily also enjoyed sports from a very early age (primary school), becoming a strong runner, eagerly participating in softball games and the annual Sports Day events.

Emily is survived by Mike, her loving husband of 62 years and her sister Katherine (Bill Thompson). She is predeceased by her siblings and their spouses; Susie and Andy Ondzik, Francis and George Farris, Mary and Steve Matijan, Andrew and Helen Lapsansky and Stephan Lapsansky. She has many nieces and nephews as well as other relatives living throughout Canada, the United States and Slovakia. Emily looked forward to visiting these family members.

The family wishes to thank Dr. Kennedy and the Lab and Urgent Care Staff at the Ladysmith Hospital for their professional care over the years. Heartfelt gratitude to the nursing staff on the 3rd fl oor at Cowichan District Hospital, who cared for Emily during her fi nal weeks. Thanks also to Nellie and Gena who would visit her at home, providing companionship and laughter.

Service to be held at the Ladysmith United Church on August 15th at 11:00 a.m. followed by a luncheon at the Ladysmith Eagles Hall at 12:00 noon with interment at the Cedar Valley Cemetery.

In lieu of fl owers, a donation to the charity of your choice would be greatly appreciated.

MANDIN, Todd MaxwellMarch 24, 1971 – August 2, 2014

It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness we announce the sudden passing of our beloved son, father, brother, and friend Todd Mandin.

Todd is survived by the three most precious things to him, his daughters, Kelsey (son-in-law Owen Burt), Jamie and Aly Mandin all of whom were his life. Also survived by his mother, his rock, Judy Mandin; father Archie Mandin; friend and former spouse Janet Mandin; sister Stacy Volk (brother-in-law Corey Volk) and nieces Amanda and Ashley Volk. Also by numerous extended family members and many friends.

Todd loved being a father, so very proud of his girls. He loved teaching them things and taking on adventures, helping them to become the wonderful young ladies they are today. Todd’s personality was larger than life, he had the uncanny ability to make us laugh and giggle at all his stories and life’s adventures. Todd made friends where ever he went and will be missed so much by those who were lucky enough to have been part of his life.

We love you, we miss you ~ Forever in our Hearts ~

A Celebration of Todd’s life will be held on August 23, 2014 at the Eagles Hall

in Ladysmith, BC at 1:00 p.m.

HALEY, Maxine M.October 4, 1925 – July 26, 2014

Unexpectedly and peace-fully, this loving, stubborn, creative, adventurous and strong willed woman has passed away, moving on to join those family members who have preceded her.

Service/Celebration of Life – Cedar Community Hall, 2388 Cedar Road, on Monday, August 18, 2014 at 2:00 pm.
