Ladysmith grad speaking out on dementiaLindsay ChungTHE CHRONICLE

Laura Booi has been speaking out about de-mentia care and advo-cating for older adults for many years.

And lately, the Ladysmith Secondary School graduate is get-ting the opportunity to share her message on a bigger stage.

The 27-year-old is currently doing re-search on dementia as a PhD candidate in the Department of Geron-tology at Simon Fraser University (SFU).

This year, she was ap-pointed the Canadian Youth Representative in Dementia and has had the opportunity to attend the G7’s Global Action Against De-mentia Events, as well as the satellite Youth Leaders in Dementia Events. She also has the opportunity to rep-resent all of the Young Leaders in Dementia at the World Health Or-ganization in Geneva at the First Ministerial Conference on Global Action Against Demen-tia in March.

There are many things that have led Booi down this path.

When she was grow-ing up, Booi’s mother was a care aide in a long-term care facil-ity, so Booi spent time there. She was also

“hugely” influenced by her grandfather, and she lived with him for a while.“It was really, really

eye-opening living with an 80-something-year-old as a 20-something-year-old, so I just saw how society treated him much differently than I was treated,” she said.A restorative justice

program had a big im-pact on Booi’s life.“When I was 14, I kept

on getting in trouble doing stupid teenager things, so I kept on get-ting arrested and I was finally put in a restor-ative justice program,” she said. “I had to do a bunch of community hours, and so they put me in different long-term care facilities. It just sparked some-thing where I became obsessed with older adults, long-term care, dementia and issues like that.”

Booi’s family is in-volved in care as well, as her father is a care aide at the Nanaimo Regional Hospital, and her sister is a regis-tered nurse.After graduating from

Ladysmith Second-ary School, Booi went to Vancouver Island University in Nanaimo, where she earned her Bachelor of Arts with Distinction as a psy-chology major with a focus on older adults with dementia. She did a Masters of Arts in Health Psychology at the University of Brit-ish Columbia, and she is currently in the sec-ond year of her PhD studies at SFU.

Throughout her aca-demic career, Booi has earned a number of awards and scholar-ships for her work, and this spring, she won a $100,000 Technology Evaluation in the El-derly fellowship for the next two years to con-tinue her PhD research looking at older adults with dementia and how to make life better for them in long-term care.

Booi has been a de-mentia advocate since she was 20. She started blogging about demen-

tia when she was 23 or 24, she served five years on the board of the BC Psychogeriatric Association, and she volunteers at the Al-zheimer Society of B.C.

It’s this work that led to Booi being chosen to represent B.C. youth at a Canadian Young Leaders in Dementia Event in Ottawa in Sep-tember. “David Cameron, the

prime minister of the U.K., sounded the alarm for dementia,” she said. “He said the U.K. is going to spear-head the dementia movement for all the G7. So they have these dementia summits; the first one was in London last year. The second one was in Ottawa in September. I attended the Young Leaders Event, and based on my performance at that event, I was select-ed to attend the Global Event in Ottawa.”

Booi says the World

Dementia Council is trying to find a cure for dementia by 2025. She doesn’t think this will happen because there are so many different types of dementia, and she also thinks a cure won’t be found if noth-ing changes when it comes to research and the way the search for a cure is approached.“They have the same

established people at the table at the World Dementia Council ta-ble talking about the same remedies,” she said. “For the last 20 years, we have done almost nothing for de-mentia research. And this is what they said at this Dementia Event

— those are not my words; these are the experts speaking.”

At the Global Event in Ottawa, Booi stood up and asked what they are going to do to bring new, young, innovative minds to the table to talk about different so-

lutions for dementia.“Because right now,

we have the same peo-ple talking about the same solutions,” she said. “Let’s get new, young people; let’s get women. We know that 65 per cent of people who get dementia are women. Two-thirds of all caregivers are women. Where are the women represented? Where are the people with dementia repre-sented? Where are the young people repre-sented? This affects everyone, and it’s only one homogeneous por-tion of the population talking.”

Based on that event, Booi was then chosen to represent Cana-dian youth in Tokyo at the Japanese event, and she helped facili-tate a workshop with Japanese young lead-ers, where they talked about new, innovative ideas and solutions. In February, she will travel to Washington, D.C., for a U.S. Young Leaders in Dementia program and also the third G7 event.

Booi is now work-ing with the executive director of Alzheimer Disease International to create a Global Youth Ambassador in Dementia program to bring together young people who are pas-sionate about demen-tia to look at helping find solutions.

When she graduates from SFU, Booi says she will be either the first or the second per-son to graduate with a PhD in Gerontology in Western Canada.“There are not enough

people in this field,” she said. “That’s what keeps me going. There has to be more people

who care about this.”Booi says it’s an hon-

our to be considered a young leader in demen-tia, and she feels like with this recognition, she has more weight to throw around and can get more done.“The amount of work I

have to do in this area is insane,” she said.

“The general knowledge about dementia and Al-zheimer’s disease wor-ries me so much, it re-ally concerns me. The way we’re dealing with it as well. The elder abuse that happens for people with dementia is heartbreaking. How we treat and how we warehouse our older population should shame us into all doing something different.”

Booi has two years left at SFU, and when she’s finished, she wants to continue to be a loud voice for demen-tia care.“I think because I’m

young and I have so much energy and I can’t sit down, I think I should continue get-ting my PhD and then continue being a de-mentia evangelist, go-ing around and speak-ing to people about dementia, educating people, increasing awareness — because that’s half the battle, education and aware-ness,” she said. “A quarter of the people who have a dementia diagnosis don’t tell anybody they have a dementia diagnosis because of the stigma. The whole thing is so negative, but I’m pretty hyper and I’m pretty happy. If I can make this message easier to swallow and still get people educated about it, it will be a life well lived.”

Grade 7s will be at Ladysmith Intermediate in September

Coats for Folks has moved

There is an abundance of warm coats, boots, hats and mittens available for free for anyone who needs them.

People have been very generous in donating coats of all sizes, shapes and styles for the Coats for Folks program, and anyone who needs a coat or knows someone who needs one is welcome to drop by 432 First Ave. (the old Grant Jewellers and Impeccable Jewellers) Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.“We have had the most incredible response from people,” said Nita Grant. “People are so, so generous, and I thank the community so much.”

Grant also noted that there are women who knit items for this program all year long.

There will be Grade 7s again at Ladysmith Intermediate School in the fall.

On Dec. 17, the School District 68 board approved a recommendation from Trust-ee Stephanie Higginson that Grade 7 Ladysmith students attend Ladysmith Inter-mediate School, effective September 2015. Grade 7 students have been at Ladysmith Secondary School since September.“Grade 7s are still young kids, and they

should be in an elementary school environ-ment; we didn’t feel they were getting that,” said school board chair Steve Rae. “The high school was overcrowded with all the

kids who came from Cedar, and elementary school kids should be doing the elementary school things — kicking a soccer ball, play-ing around, having fun. There was no real outside space for them at the high school.”

Rae says the board felt moving the Grade 7 students back to the intermediate school was very important to the community.“We had heard from dozens of parents that

this wasn’t working for them, and also, we just felt educationally that it wasn’t best for them and it just wasn’t the right place,” he said. “That’s something we all felt ex-tremely strongly about, every single one of us, and we decided it was the right thing to do. There was talk about delaying it, but we just felt it was the right thing to do

right then. Parents were very concerned in Ladysmith about their young people going to a high school when they weren’t ready. And luckily we had a school right down the street that had empty classrooms, so it worked out good.”

During the meeting, trustees also voted to enact a 30-day hold on the construction and awarding of contracts at Cedar Elementa-ry to review the long-term impacts of the work on the district. The board has permit-ted CUPE work that must be completed whether the board decides if the school is best suited as a K-7 or 8-12 facility.

Deputy Superintendent John Blain made a presentation to the board about the im-pacts of a 30-day hold on the Cedar conver-

sion from a secondary to an elementary school. He shared that $2,361,000 has been allocated to the project, and as of Dec. 10, approximately 100 per cent of the local capital has been spent and approximately 55 per cent of the 2014-15 Annual Facility Grant (AFG) capital has been expended.“When we took office, we said we are go-

ing to be thorough and thoughtful with ev-ery decision that we make, so all this is a stop to review the plan,” said Rae. “Money is very difficult to come by in this district, so before we commit several million dol-lars to a project, we want to make sure it’s the right thing to do. We have no pre-conceived ideas of what’s going to happen going forward.”



A new joint fund-ing opportunity from the provincial and federal governments could help the Town of Ladysmith move forward with building a water filtration plant.

Staff will apply to the New Building Canada Fund — Small Com-munities Fund Pro-gram for up to two-thirds of the cost of the $10-million water filtration plant project after being directed to by council on Dec. 15.

The water filtration plant was included in the 2014-2018 Fi-nancial Plan as an ap-proved capital project, with construction to take place during 2015-2018, following a filtra-tion pilot study in 2014.

The new Building Canada Fund — Small Communities Fund is a joint grant funding op-

portunity between the Province of BC and the federal government, and the program pro-vides partial funding for projects that meet specific criteria. The program provides par-tial funding, where the provincial and federal governments each pro-vide one-third of the project funding and the recipient is respon-sible for the remainder.

The water filtration plant project was put into the Town’s 2014-2018 Financial Plan and approved at a total cost of $10 mil-lion, with borrowing being the major fund-ing source. This came as a result of a 2013 Water Quality Study, which suggested that water filtration was the next step in the re-quirement to abide by the provincial govern-ment’s drinking water regulations.

In a report to coun-

cil, financial services director Erin Ander-son says the Town will need to borrow funds to complete the water filtration plant, and borrowing costs would be funded using a com-bination of water util-ity rates charges and parcel taxes.“If the Town is suc-

cessful in its applica-tion for grant funding as recommended, the amount to be bor-rowed for this initia-tive could be reduced to approximately $3 million,” she wrote.

John Manson, the di-rector of infrastructure services, says $10 mil-lion is not necessarily the actual cost of the water filtration plant project, but it’s easier to update project costs to a lower number than a higher number.“We don’t have an

accurate cost at this point because we’re still evaluating the technologies,” he told council. “We’re tech-nically shooting high in the grant applica-tion. We expect as we get through the pilot testing and zero in on the particular technol-ogy that we’re using, we’ll be able to come back with a report that would provide updated project costs. Initially, we don’t expect the cost to be over $10 mil-lion, and we hope to see it less than that.”

Through the Town’s permit with the Island Health, the Town must make a decision on the secondary water treat-ment type by March, explained Manson. This grant application must be completed by Feb. 18, and Manson says the Town could start design in the spring. Island Health expects this filtration system to be up and running by the end of January 2018, accord-ing to Manson.

Lindsay Chungthe chronicle

Recreation provid-ers throughout the Cowichan Valley will have more tools to help more children get — and stay — ac-tive after receiving a $25,000 RBC grant.

With this grant, which was received Dec. 3, the Cowichan Valley Regional Dis-trict (CVRD) will be better able to pro-mote physical literacy, the first stage of the Canadian Sport for Life national model to encourage lifelong ac-tivity. Physical literacy encourages children aged two to 12 to be-come competent and confident in a wide range of fundamen-tal movement skills, including running, jumping, throwing, agility, balance, co-ordination and speed.

This initiative is designed to address that children nation-ally are meeting five per cent of physical activity guidelines and are spending more than seven hours per day in front of digital screens in one form or another, according to a press release from the CVRD.“Our vision is that the

Cowichan communi-ties will be the most livable and healthy in Canada,” then-CVRD board chair Rob Hutchins stated in the release. “Grant oppor-tunities like this one from RBC help us de-liver services to make that happen.”

RBC Royal Bank has become a national sponsor of the initia-tive and is providing

various grant opportu-nities. Recreation staff from Ladysmith Parks and Recreation, North Cowichan Parks and Recreation, South Cowichan Recreation, Cowichan Lake Rec-reation, and the Island Savings Centre co-or-dinated a region-wide response and were successful in earning the $25,000 grant.A key part of this

initiative is working with health, education, and sport to achieve consistency in deliv-ering this region-wide service, and the local steering committee includes representa-tives from KidSport Cowichan, School District 79 and Our Cowichan Communi-ties Health Network.

John Elzinga, gen-eral manager of the CVRD’s recreation and culture depart-ment, says this grant enables the recreation staff and partners in-volved in the steering committee to start

planning for commu-nity engagement and for an education piece around what physical literacy is. “The grant is for the next 12 months, so we’ll be identifying specifically what that means in terms of programs and events,” he said. “Right across the region, recreation practitioners are try-ing to get the public more active, and spe-cifically this grant for ages two to 12 will address some of the concerns around childhood obesity and that kids spend up to seven hours a day in front of a screen.”

Elzinga says the steering committee will start identify-ing what events and programs are able to be achieved by this grant up until the end of the year, and he ex-pects implementation would begin early in the new year.“It’s important to get

activities all across

the region, and we really value the ef-forts and the involve-ment of the staff at Ladysmith Parks and Recreation for their leadership role in this,” he said. “A thanks to RBC for their sponsor-ship.”

Clayton Postings, La-dysmith’s director of Parks, Recreation and Culture, says this was a great opportunity to work together region-ally, and there could

be other regional ben-efits down the road.“It’s been a really positive opportunity for us regionally to get a grant,” he said. “I don’t think we would have received this grant if we had ap-plied for it individually, but regionally, it was a good opportunity. I think the other ben-efit for us is it allows us to work with our partners in the region to look at possibly down the road bring-ing in program staff on a regional basis if we can have all of us regionally doing the same program.”

Postings says this grant funding and sup-port helps recreation programmers expose families to activities and programs.“I think most of the

health reports in the school system are def-initely demonstrating there’s less activity for kids in that age group [of two to 12],” he said.

“This is an opportunity for us to really edu-cate families and allow youth to participate in programs and expose them to programs.”

Past mayors have done great work for Ladysmith

Editor:

Re: Mayors — Alder-woman — Alderman

I would like to make my personal observation of all the mayors that I have known. My father came to Ladysmith in 1910. I have been a resident here for over 75 years.

Some mayors have had long terms, some short-er. I read in the paper before Rob Hutchins’s terms, the town was gar-bage. I take exception to this statement. My rea-sons:

In regards to mayors:1. Len Ryan — fiscal re-

straint. He worked hard in tough times.

2. Kay Grouhel — She headed up the purchase of the beach (waterfront property), had Nanaimo Vocational School class come down, level and clean up the property at

the beach, at no expense to us. Lobbied the provin-cial government for the Holland Creek Bridge. Purchased a large piece of property in the Hol-land Creek area for the Town for development — parks, housing, etc.

3. Frank Jameson — worked tirelessly for the Town. Sportsplex. Im-provement to the Com-pany Dam for more wa-ter storage.

4. Bob Stuart — He worked hard for the Town. Bob was killed back east when he was hit by a car when he was on Town business. Knowing Bob personally, had he lived, he would have done a lot for the Town.

5. Alex Stuart (son of Bob) — He did a great job for Ladysmith. He lobbied hard for an Expo legacy grant and got $500,000 for the Town. This was used for the train station upgrades, waterfront and other things.

6. Rollie Rose, whom I did not know that well — I know that he did a

great job for the Town for several years.

In closing, I totally agree with Rob Johnson on his Take 5 opinions, the need for an RV park. The wages for top sala-ries at City Hall and my own taxes have gone up substantially in the past couple of years. I phoned the tax people in Nanaimo. They said the Town puts in the figures.

Good luck to the new mayor, whom I do not know personally. Be your own person. The waterfront belongs to all of us citizens.

As Rob Johnson says, “that’s the way I see it.”

Lefebure new CVRD chairJohn McKinleyFor the chronicle

It may be a familiar face at the head of the table.

But this could be a new-look Cowichan Valley Regional Dis-trict board.

North Cowichan Mayor Jon Lefebure was elected chairman Wednesday, but not before the new directors served notice this term may be marked by a new way of doing things.

New Cobble Hill Director Matteus Clement shook things up during the election of the chair, by asking for a candi-date question period prior to the vote.

Staff recommended against the move because the board had no chair and doesn’t typi-cally conduct business without one. But Clement suggested if the move broke no rules, then common practice could fall to common sense.“Common practice should

involve some transparency and accountability,” he said.

“I think that appointing such an important position — not only financially, but this is the spokesperson of the Cowichan Valley Regional District — (warrants this).“I would like to be able to ask these people questions that I haven’t been able to ask.”

Veteran Saltair Director Mel Dorey supported the move, which eventually passed after some debate.“It shows that the board is

open and that we are not closed to a new type of think-ing, and they will be welcome at the board table to make new changes if they see that they need to be made,” Dorey said.

Lefebure said he is very op-timistic and excited about the board and its mix.“I do not like backroom poli-ticking, which is divisive. I do not like cliques or believe in a division between electoral and municipal members. Histori-cally, there have been efforts to create power bases based on that division, a practice that is not based in my belief in logic or reality,” he said.

“The truth is that we are all elected…and we come to this table and are tasked with the additional responsibility of be-ing concerned for the entire region.”

He will lead a board that will include six first-time direc-tors: Clement, Kerry Davis (Mill Bay), Sonia Furstenau (Shawnigan Lake), Alison Nicholson (Sahtlam/Gle-nora), Rob Douglas (North Cowichan) and Bob Day (Lake Cowichan).

Cowichan Bay Director Lori Iannidinardo — who, along with North Oyster’s Mary Mar-cotte, was also nominated as chair — is the new vice-chair-woman.

Former chairman Rob Hutchins was appointed to the board again despite now being a councillor — not mayor — for Ladysmith. He will sit on the board until June 30, and Mayor Aaron Stone is the alternate for Ladysmith until June 30.

Hutchins joins Dorey, Ian-nidinardo, Marcotte, Lefebure, Ian Morrison (Cowichan Lake South) and Phil Kent (Duncan) as directors returning from the previous term.

Tom Walker (North Cowichan) and Klaus Kuhn (Youbou) will also be back at the table after not holding of-fice the previous term.

Ladysmith RCMP are investigating a report of a student receiving a puncture wound at the high school.

On Friday, Dec. 19 at 11:55 a.m., staff at Ladysmith Second-ary School called the RCMP to report that a student had a puncture wound and was cur-rently at the Ladysmith Community Health Centre, according to a press release from Staff Sgt. Dave Herman.

Ladysmith RCMP first went to the school and spoke to staff, who said the student had reported the incident

shortly after it oc-curred to a teacher.

Police officers then went to the Ladysmith Community Health Centre and spoke to the student.“The student stated

he was in the crowded hallway and headed to the bathroom during a break between classes when he felt a sharp pinch in his back,” said Herman. “By the time he turned around, he saw many students be-hind him in the hallway but none he recognized or thought would be re-sponsible. The student said his back started to hurt and he asked a teacher to look at it, and that was when the wound was found. The hospital staff advised RCMP investigators that the wound mea-sured was five millime-ters wide by four milli-meters deep, requiring one suture.”

Police are asking anyone who has in-formation that may be useful to contact the Ladysmith RCMP at 250-245-2215.

Police are also seek-

ing the public’s help as they investigate an in-cident at Aggie Hall.

On Monday, Dec. 22 at 12:38 a.m., Ladysmith RCMP received a re-port of a possible break and enter in progress at the Aggie Hall from a witness who could hear banging and glass shattering. Suspects were described as two kids with black hood-ies and jeans, and it was stated that they were standing on the corner of Symonds and Second.

Ladysmith RCMP at-tended the area imme-diately and arrested two people, who were subsequently released to appear in Provincial Court at a later date.

The estimated dam-age to Aggie Hall is un-determined at this time but may likely be in the thousands of dollars.

The RCMP are seek-ing assistance in get-ting to the bottom of this matter. It is strong-ly believed there is ad-ditional evidence and witnesses that have not yet come to light.—Staff Writer

Incident at LSS investigated

Staff Writerthe chronicle

In the first six months of 2014, the Nanaimo Airport en-joyed an average of 33.3 per cent growth per month.

Year-to-date growth in 2014 is at nearly 20 per cent, and the Nanaimo Airport Commission is expect-ing to post another re-cord year in 2014.

The Nanaimo Air-port has seen passen-ger numbers climb more than 70 per cent since 2008, thanks to the completion of a runway expansion.And the good news

doesn’t stop there.Air Canada has an-

nounced that it will begin daily non-stop service to Calgary in the spring.“We are delighted to

launch our newest regional services at Nanaimo Airport to Calgary next spring, and we look forward to welcoming custom-ers from the Nanaimo/Cassidy areas on-board Air Canada Express flights oper-ated by Jazz Aviation,” Kevin C. Howlett, Air Canada’s senior vice-president of regional markets, said in a press release. “Cus-tomers can fly either point-to-point be-tween Nanaimo and

Calgary or convenient-ly connect at our Cal-gary hub to and from our worldwide net-work to destinations in Europe, extensive North American route network and beyond. Our Nanaimo-Calgary flights complement our multiple daily Nanaimo-Vancouver flights.”

The new daily flight starts May 1 and will be arriving in Nanaimo at 1:15 p.m. and departing for Cal-gary at 1:45 p.m. Air Canada will operate a Q400 on this route. This will be in addi-tion to the eight daily Air Canada Express flights from Nanaimo to Vancouver in the summer schedule.“Developing service

is key to Nanaimo Airport’s continued growth to ensure safe, reliable transportation for Central Vancouver Island residents,” said Mike Hooper, presi-dent and CEO of the Nanaimo Airport.

“This announcement is a major indicator of how strongly the Mid-Island region is sup-porting Air Canada’s gateway route from Nanaimo to Vancou-ver. With those flights at near capacity, this new route will provide additional Air Canada seats for those travel-ling to Eastern Cana-

da and the world.”Within a four-hour

window, there are more than 25 Air Canada flights this new service connects to, including multiple flights to Edmonton, Fort McMurray and Toronto. In addition to the domestic flights, there are connections to American and inter-national destinations such as Los Angeles, Las Vegas, London, and Frankfurt.

This announcement from Air Canada comes less than two months after a second WestJet daily flight from Nanaimo to Cal-gary began at the end of October.

Lindsay Chungthe chronicle

Ladysmith Fire/Res-cue members were recently called out to a home where the oc-cupant was awoken by a smoke detector and a house full of smoke. The occupant and the structure are OK, but this is a strong remind-er about the value of a working smoke alarm.

Providing smoke de-tectors to Ladysmith residents is an impor-tant part of Ladysmith Fire/Rescue’s fire pre-vention work, and the fire department will be able to make an even bigger impact with that work thanks to support from Island Savings Credit Union.

Fire Chief Ray Del-court explained that Ladysmith Fire/Rescue asked Island Savings to join the fire depart-ment in the promotion of smoke detection in town by providing free smoke detectors.“We’re very apprecia-

tive,” he said. “We’re also hand-in-hand part-ners with our car seat program.”

Island Savings donat-ed a $2,000 cheque to the fire department to buy more smoke detec-tors for the community.“We’re just happy

we’ve been included in this program,” said Brad Lesiuk, the branch manager at Is-land Savings in Corona-

tion Mall. “We think it’s a great program.”

Delcourt says most of the smoke detection has come out of the de-partment’s fire budget, so a donation like this will help a lot. “We’ll be able to spend

money on other things,” he said.

Anybody in Ladysmith who needs a smoke detector can call Ladysmith Fire/Rescue at 250-245-6436.

Island Savings has given Ladysmith Fire/

Rescue bags with pam-phlets in them so the firefighters can put the smoke detectors in them and deliver the package as a whole to people’s homes.

Delcourt wants to remind people that as we get into the colder season, now is a good time to ensure you have enough working smoke detectors in your home, as you start using wood stoves and fireplaces and turning on more heaters.

Island Savings part-ners with Ladysmith Fire/Rescue for the Christmas tree chip-ping and car seat dem-onstrations in early January and supports the department’s car seat clinics.

Car seat inspections will be offered at the Ladysmith Fire Hall during the seventh an-nual Ladysmith Fire/Rescue Historical So-ciety Christmas Tree Chipping Jan. 3 and 4.

From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., you can drop your tree off behind the fire hall at 340 Sixth Ave. on Malone Road. Dur-ing the tree chipping weekend, donations are gratefully accepted toward the restora-tion of Ladysmith Fire/Rescue’s antique 1942 International parade truck. Fire trucks will be set up and ready for children’s enjoyment.

Firefighters will also be driving through the community on both days, and if you would like your tree picked up, you can leave it on the curb in front of your residence, and firefighters will pick it up. You can also call 250-245-6436 and leave your name and address to confirm pickup.

A month before Christmas, Naomi Ya-mamoto, the Minister of State for Tourism and Small Business, spoke about the im-portance of supporting small businesses while in Chemainus.

During an evening social hosted by the lo-cal BC Liberals riding association last month at Mount Brenton Golf Course, Yamamoto, who is the MLA for North Vancouver-Lon-sdale, emphasized how important small busi-nesses are in smaller communities like Chemainus.“My portfolio, which is

tourism and small busi-ness, gives me the op-portunity to make sure that our stakeholders understand that we’re a party that stands for free enterprise and, more importantly, to ensure that people get how important small businesses are to our community,” she said. “I’m a huge fan and huge supporter of shopping local ... and I would never want to

be part of a party that dictated where you had to shop, but I think if we educate people and tell them how im-portant it is to support your local merchants, that we’ll end up with communities that are much stronger, that are healthier, more vibrant and are going to keep and create jobs in their local communities.”

Yamamoto’s message to people is to look at the small business owner and see more than someone who hires other people and provides services or products — those small business own-ers are also the people

who coach our kids, raise money for chari-ties and provide items for silent auctions.“If we lose and we

don’t support the small businesses, and especially in smaller communities, I think you’ll really see a de-terioration of the fab-ric and the diversity that makes a commu-nity strong,” she said.

“That’s why it’s impor-tant for communities to have municipalities that are small-business friendly.”

Tourism is also part of Yamamoto’s port-folio, and she says Chemainus is “obvi-ously a town that gets

the tourism compo-nent, with the murals,” noting the shift from a reliance on the natural resources sector to the tourism sector.

Tourism and small business connect in many ways, as Yama-moto says there are 19,000 businesses in B.C. that are tourism related — the major-ity of which are small businesses — and more than 130,000 people in B.C. work in tourism.

Yamamoto says B.C. is having a “great year” in 2014 when it comes to attracting tourism, and 2013 was a great year.“From all accounts

from folks all across British Columbia, al-most everywhere we’ve seen another in-crease year over year in international visi-tors and room rates [in 2013],” she said.

According to Yama-moto, key tourism markets for B.C. are China, the U.S., the U.K., Germany, Austra-lia and Mexico. Within Canada, Alberta and Ontario are this prov-ince’s target markets.

Ring in the new year

with one of Vancou-ver Island’s favourite party rock bands.

The Shoe Pub at the Horseshoe Bay Inn in Chemainus is bringing in Hygrade for a New Year’s Eve celebration Dec. 31.

Hygrade has been bringing the life to parties, dances, pubs and events for nearly 20 years. The core of the band has always centered around drummer/vocalist Dean Doyle, with Kevin Greenhough on bass and Tony Perry handling the guitar work.

Two years ago, the

band decided to in-corporate a new ap-proach to its sound by adding Theo Mas-sop to the lineup, fo-cusing on his “hot rockin’ harmonica,” notes a press release from the band. Not only does this cre-ate a unique style for songs that don’t nor-mally have harmon-ica, but Massop’s vocal prowess also allowed the band to explore three-part harmony.

Covering songs from the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and now, any-one celebrating New Year’s at The Shoe

can expect to hear familiar party tunes from bands like 54/40, The Tragically Hip and Steve Earle, mixed with current songs from bands such as The White Stripes, Big Sugar and The Black Keys.“We try to play songs

you would hear at most house parties,” Doyle, the band’s founder, said in the release.

Cover charge for the New Year’s cele-bration with Hygrade is $5. For more infor-mation and advance tickets, call 250-416-0411.

Spend an after-noon or evening at the Ladysmith Little Theatre this holiday season, and you’ll be swept away to Baghdad and a world of villains, heroes, adventure and romance with the fab-ulous pantomime Ali Baba and The Forty Thieves.

A Christmas pan-tomime has become an annual tradition at Ladysmith Little Theatre (LLT), and this year’s production is funny, very well done and fun for the whole family.A pantomime is a

type of musical com-edy stage production designed for family entertainment. Each one is loosely based on a well-known fairy tale or nursery rhyme and uses popular songs, slapstick, double entendres and topical humour. Typically, the hero is played by a girl, while there is always a “Dame,” played by a man.

The fun thing about pantos is that they are meant to be partici-patory, and audience members are encour-aged to sings along, shout out phrases to the performers, cheer the hero and boo the villain. Watching and hearing any children in the audience is price-less.

This year’s produc-tion of Ali Baba and The Forty Thieves is a great show, featuring excellent performanc-es by Hailey Primrose

as poor Ali Baba; Hannah Copp as Ali Baba’s fiancee Safiya; Charles Harman as Ali Baba’s brother Cassim and Inge Cathers as Sharon.

Torry Clark is hilari-ous in his over-the-top role as Mum Baba, while Mike Cooper is great as the evil Mustafa. Kathleen Ramsay, Ken Hiebert, Gracie Laboucan, Pamela Walker, Jamee Hubbard, Kyra Moore and Taylor May Tacon all do a great job of bringing this tale to life. The young per-formers — Moore, Tacon, Hubbard and Laboucan — bring a great enthusiasm to the stage that is so fun to see.

Set in Baghdad, Ali Baba and The Forty Thieves tells the story of Ali Baba, who falls in love with Safiya and must try to buy her freedom from her owners — his brother Cassim and his wife Sharon.

When poor Ali comes up with the money to buy Safiya’s freedom, she insists that she won’t leave until her

younger sister Huma is also freed, so Ali sets out to find enough money to free them both.Ali finds a secret cave

filled with treasure, but, unfortunately for our young hero, that isn’t the answer to all his problems. Soon, evil Mustafa Leikh and his thieves dis-cover that someone has been stealing from them, and they go after Ali.

It’s a great story, made even better by the jokes, music and appearance of a camel.

The sets and cos-

tumes are just beauti-ful, and there are a lot of well-known songs in the show, including

“Love is an Open Door” from the movie Frozen,

“Consider Yourself” from Oliver Twist, and a terrific re-worked version of Petula Clark’s “Downtown” with “Baghdad” lyrics.

The show seems to really appeal to peo-ple of all ages, as a full house on Sunday laughed, booed, cheered and clapped along throughout the show.Ali Baba and The

Forty Thieves pre-mieres runs until Dec. 31. There are evening shows at 7 p.m. on Dec. 26, 29 and 30 and matinees at 1 p.m. on Dec. 27 and 28. A special New Year’s

Eve show and celebra-tion will take place Dec. 31. The show will run from 8-10 p.m. with appies served during intermission. Cast members will join the audience following the show for a late-night meal and to help

ring in the new year.Tickets for the cel-

ebration are $40 each.Tickets for all other

shows are $15 each and are available at the Ladysmith Little Theatre Box Office at 4985 Christie Rd., by calling 250-924-0658 or online www.lady-smiththeatre.com.

Greg SakakiFOR THE CHRONICLE

An eight-year-old motocross rider from Cedar isn’t just an up-and-comer anymore.

Sebastian Sulyok fin-ished first in his 50cc open division on the Canadian Arenacross Championship series, which wrapped up earlier this month with racing in Chilliwack.

Sulyok had accumu-lated enough points in the eight-stop series that he just needed to place third in Chilli-wack to win the title, and that’s what he did.

He had been doing well with hole shots on the series, but in the series finale in front of a large crowd, he got hung up on the start-ing gate and was in 15th place at the start

of the race.“Like the pirate he is,

he set his sails and off to war he went,” said Steve Sulyok, Sebas-tian’s father.

Sebastian got himself back up to third place and held the position.“The feeling is abso-

lute euphoria,” Steve said.

He said the family is proud to bring the title to Vancouver Island.“Island team, Team

B.C. motocross is just a great family, a great network of people,” Steve said.


LSS boys go into break on high noteLindsay ChungTHE CHRONICLE

Ladysmith Second-ary School (LSS)’s se-nior boys’ basketball team is heading into the holiday break on a winning note.

Ladysmith hosted Woodlands Secondary School Dec. 18 and beat the visitors from Nanaimo 70-64 in the team’s final game be-fore Christmas.

Ladysmith held a close 12-10 lead after the first quarter, and the game was tied 28-28 at halftime. The home team pulled away in the third quar-ter, going up 53-44, and held on for a 70-64 win.

Nick Hayton led the 49ers in scoring with 18 points, followed by Kurt Olson with 15 points and Adam Tay-lor with 12 points.

Coach Randy Steel says he expected this game to be a close one.“[We] seemed to take

the game over in the second half, and their big guy kind of got into foul trouble in the second half,” he said.

“I thought they played well. They’ll be hap-py with a win before Christmas.”

Steel was pleased to see pretty balanced scoring from his team, as every player on the court had at least two points, and three were in the double digits.

Steel has about five players from the closed Cedar Second-

ary on the team this year, and he says that without them, LSS probably wouldn’t have a team this year.

The 49ers are now 1-1 in league play. Their next game is Jan. 6 at home against Barsby.

Ladysmith’s senior girls’ team played a home game in the final week before Christ-mas holidays as well,

losing 24-77 to Mark R. Isfeld Secondary School Dec. 16.

Marika Grubac scored most of Lady-smith’s points, with 15 and at least one point in each quarter. Kelsey Hutt and Amber Swith-in each had four points, and Sam Kleininger had one point.

Coach Daryl Rodgers says it’s been a tough

year, as they have a lot of young players, and it’s tough getting peo-ple out to games.“We’re improving,”

he said. “Our first three games of the season were against the top three teams in the league, but after Christmas, it should get better.”

The girls return to play Jan. 13 in Comox.

LAYCOCK, Penelope AnneAugust 7, 1941 – November 25, 2014

Penelope passed away peacefully and courageously in her home, as was her wish, with her three sons gathered from around the world. A private cremation has taken place, and at Penelope’s request there will be no funeral service in Canada, however a ceremony and celebration of Penny’s magnificent life will be held in Chipperfield (England) in the summer of 2015, where she has asked to be reunited with her maternal grandparents of whom she had very fond memories.

A loving and much loved mother of Graham Western of Barrie, Ontario, Paul Western of Sydney, Australia, and Mark Western of Clearwater Bay, Hong Kong; grandmother to Kara Western, Taila Western and Healy Western. Sister to Fenella Ellis and Tony Gordon-Laycock; and aunt to Peter Ellis and Amanda Blinco and Stephen and William Gordon-Laycock. Daughter of Joan and William Gordon- Laycock; and former wife of John Western (recently deceased). Always there to nurture and support her three sons, her loss is deeply felt but softened by the knowledge she is now free of pain and at peace.

Penelope was born in Chipperfield (UK) and spent much of her childhood abroad – in India, Barbados and France. These early experiences influenced Penelope deeply, giving her a lifelong passion for travel & adventure; and fuelling her genuine care and concern for those less fortunate. Penelope married John Western (her “only true love”) in 1962, and had her first two sons (Graham & Paul) in England. The family later migrated to Canada in 1964 where her third son (Mark) was born, and where she spent the rest of her life. In the early years living in Pickering, Ontario, where the boys fondly remember holidays to Prince Edward Island, learning to sail dinghies on Frenchman’s Bay, canoeing and playing ice hockey. At the same time, the family spent seven years building a 40ft sailboat and eventually sailed it to the Bahamas in 1978 on a one-year journey. John and Penelope separated in 1979 and Penelope returned to Toronto (with a mere $7 in her pocket) and continued to raise her three sons as a single parent, living in Cabbagetown and The Beaches. In the boy’s teenage years she is remembered for her compassion, opening her home and heart to boys less fortunate and more troubled then her own. She built a respected career at the University of Toronto (Scarborough campus) as the Manager of Student Residences & Conference Services, receiving many awards and the respect of her colleagues and students. Always curious, Penny travelled widely and continued her passion for sailing yachts, bravely crossing the Atlantic Ocean, plus numerous other sailing adventures around the globe. Penny was also interested in theatre (acting in several plays), golf, gardening, philosophy, and at the young age of 60 received her scuba certification. After retiring in 1997, Penelope moved first to Brighton Ontario where she acquired her beloved dogs (Poppet & Chipper) and lived on the water (a lifelong dream). Penny later moved to Ladysmith, BC, where she settled in a cozy home, surrounded with flowers in the garden and a view of the mountains. It was here that Penny passed away.

The family would like to thank all the wonderful and compassionate carers that supported Penelope with her final wish – allowing her to stay in her home – and the kind and caring Dr. Kilvert and nursing staff that assisted the boys to provide palliative care in her final weeks.

Penelope’s sons will keep a remembrance book for Penelope’s grandchildren. If you knew Penelope and would like to share

your memories of her, please email messages and/or photos to: [email protected]

KAMINSKY, Sylvia Rosalind Katherine

Operation Red Nose has been helping people in Ladysmith, Nanaimo and Lantz-ville get home safely all month, and there are three more oppor-tunities to take advan-tage of this seasonal service.

Operation Red Nose is hosted by PacificS-port Vancouver Island and is currently in its 19th year of op-eration in Nanaimo, Ladysmith and Lantz-ville. This service is provided during the holidays to individuals who do not feel fit to drive for whatever rea-son. It is a confidential, safe, and effective way of getting you, your passengers and your car home at the end of the night by allowing a team of volunteers to

do the driving for you. The service is offered free of charge, but donations are greatly appreciated and all do-nations remain in the community to support youth sports.

The success of Op-eration Red Nose de-pends on volunteers who offer their time to man the phones, co-ordinate pickups and drive people home, as well as the generous support of sponsors and community spon-sors.

Over the weekend of Dec. 12 and 13, 15 Op-eration Red Nose road teams drove more than 2,860 kilometres and made sure 244 people and one dog made it home safe and sound. Columbia Fuels and the local Royal Cana-dian Legions, Nanaimo Branches 10 and 256 and Ladysmith Branch

171, were the evening sponsors for the week-end.

Operation Red Nose will serve the com-munity Friday, Dec. 26, Saturday, Dec. 27 and New Year’s Eve. Ladysmith and District Credit Union will be an evening sponsor for New Year’s Eve.

Call the Operation Red Nose Hotline at 250-755-6969 between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m. on those nights for a safe ride home.

For more informa-tion on how you can become a volunteer or how your company can support Operation Red Nose, call 250-740-6572.“More volunteers

means safer roads and more people making it home safely during the holiday season,” states a press release from Operation Red Nose.

ORN service continues Dec. 26, 27 and 31
