For people planning to travel from the Central Island to Edmon-ton and beyond, life just got a little less complicated.As of Dec. 15 non-stop flights

from Nanaimo to the capital of Alberta have been scheduled by WestJet, the Nanaimo Airport announced, making it easier for people to connect with flights to destinations around the world.“Edmonton is one of WestJet’s main connection hubs, giving Island residents more access to sun locations and other destina-tions around the globe,” says the Nanaimo Airport release.“Direct flights to and from

Nanaimo Airport to Edmonton city take less than two hours.”

The new flight uses a 78-seat Q-400 aircraft. It leaves Edmonton daily at 12:45 p.m. local time, and departs from Nanaimo at 2:25 p.m.

”Developing service is key to Nanaimo Airport’s continued growth to ensure safe, reliable transportation for Central Vancou-ver Island residents,” said Mike Hooper, President and CEO of the Nanaimo Airport.“We’re proud to be central Van-

couver Island’s gateway to the world.”

Ferio Pugliese, executive vice-president of WestJet, said the company is glad to see the service airborne.“We’re pleased to provide addi-tional service to our guests in Ed-monton and Nanaimo and the sur-rounding regions,” he said.“We truly appreciate the support and loyalty they’ve shown to us over the years, and we look for-ward to continuing to grow our business in both markets in the years to come.”

Arts Council thanksTown of LadysmithCraig Spencethe chronicle

Ladysmith Arts Council Presi-dent Kathy Holmes thanked the Town of Ladysmith for all its sup-port during 2015, and offered a rundown of the LAC’s activities, events and programs over the year.

The council is located in city-owned space in the Expo Building at 610 Oyster Bay Road. “We want to thank the town for the space and for letting us bring joy to the community,” Holmes said.

Thanks to the LAC the arts in Ladysmith are generating not only cultural benefits for the commu-nity, but adding to a vibrant econ-omy. Holmes noted that the arts, culture and heritage in Canada ac-counted for 3.1 per cent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2010.

Locally the 15 member LAC Board has overseen 17 shows; delivery of arts education class-es, which are often filled to ca-pacity; delivery of youth classes, which are also well attended; art orientation bus tours; and a class for people with ‘different abili-ties.’

Holmes let councillors in on the new motto of the Ladysmith Arts Council, “Art is here to stay; this is your gallery.”

She said 8,400 people visited the LAC’s Waterfront Gallery over the

year, 2,000 more than last year, and that membership in the LAC stands at about 500.

One of the highlights of the year was Arts on the Avenue and Light up the Night events, which took place Aug. 23 and drew 6,000 people to view works by more than 50 artists.

Holmes said the successes of 2015 will be built on in the coming year.“Our goal going into 2016 is to make Ladysmith the hub of art on Vancouver Island,” she said.

One of the biggest accomplish-ments of the LAC in 2015 was raising funds to have an elevator installed at the Waterfront Gallery and LAC offices.“We raised $86,000 for an eleva-tor,” Holmes said, noting that ev-eryone involved with the project was ‘phenomenal.’ “The people we worked with were truly amazing,” she said.

Coun. Rob Hutchins said it’s the LAC Board and volunteers who de-serve credit for the Arts Council’s successes. “Why are you saying thank you?” he asked. “Because it’s us who should be saying thank you.”

After the LAC presentation he moved, and council passed a reso-lution that Mayor Aaron Stone at-tend the Jan. 2 meeting of the LAC to convey Council’s thanks for the work the Arts Council is doing.

Town of Ladysmith council toasted the success of the Ladysmith Arts Council over the last year, with glass pears that were distributed as gifts by LAC President Kathy Holmes.

Craig Spencethe chronicle

First steps have been taken towards a discus-sion of amalgamation between the Municipal-ity of North Cowichan and the City of Duncan.At the Dec. 16 meeting

North Cowichan coun-cil appointed Coun. Al Siebring and Coun. Maeve Maguire to meet with their counterparts in Duncan to begin discussions about the composition and man-date of a Citizens As-sembly, which would be formed to actually develop a proposal for amalgamation.

Duncan had already appointed Coun. Mi-chelle Bell and Coun. Michelle Staples for the initial talks.

Voters in both munici-palities were in favour of looking at amalgama-tion when the issue was put to them by referen-dum in the Nov. 2014 municipal elections.

In North Cowichan support was stronger, with 4,446 residents say-ing yes, 2,065 saying no. In Duncan 554 residents supported looking at the idea, 502 said no.

North Cowichan Di-rector of Corporate Services Mark Ruttan said there’s a long way to go to arrive at a pro-posal that can be put to voters, likely in the 2018 municipal elections.

The representatives that have been chosen for the initial round of meetings will have to come up with recom-mendations about the terms of reference and composition of a Citi-zen’s Assembly, which will need approval by both councils.

The Citizen’s Assembly

will then engage both communities, develop-ing a proposal to be put to the voters. Ruttan said the working group may be able to make recom-mendations about the format and function of a Citizen’s Assembly to their respective councils by March.

Karen Robertson, di-rector of corporate ser-vices in Duncan, also said there’s a lot of work to do. “It’s still pretty pre-liminary,” she said.

Cost and staffing impli-cations, the structure of the municipal govern-ment that would emerge, representation on an amalgamated council,

“All these things will be looked at so citizens can make an informed deci-sion,” she said.

The death of former B.C. pre-mier Bill Bennett on Dec. 4 prompted the traditional round of polite tributes.

He was the man from Kelowna who remade Vancouver, with SkyTrain, BC Place stadium and Expo 86 to put the city on the world map. He won three ma-jority governments before hand-ing over the steering wheel of a smoothly running Social Credit Party to Bill Vander Zalm.

Outside B.C., the wire service obituaries ran to a few para-graphs, defining Bennett first as the “architect of financial re-straint in the province.”

It seems an ordinary notion today, but when Bennett un-leashed his “restraint program” on the B.C. government in 1983, it was presented as a right-wing coup on a socialist utopia.

I was in journalism school in Vancouver when unions orga-nized a general strike and mass street demonstrations under the banner of Operation Solidarity, appropriated from the struggle against Poland’s communist dic-tators. Their goal was to bring the recently re-elected govern-ment to its knees.

The newly tabloid Vancouver Province, itself largely con-trolled by some of B.C.’s most militant unions, was a screech-ing banshee of the big-labour left.

“Socred hitmen swoop on rights workers,” its front page declared after 400 layoff notices were issued to provincial staff. This propaganda was the pub-lic’s guide and my professional role model.

A bit of background: the B.C. economy was in the grip of an international recession, hitting resource industries and govern-ment revenues hard.

Bennett had ousted the Dave Barrett NDP government in 1975, but the legacy lived on. During its three-year reign, for example, education spending increased 13 per cent in the first year and 23 per cent in each of the next two.

The blitz of restraint legislation reasserted government’s author-ity to control the size and wages of provincial staff, reinstated the province’s ability to pay, elimi-nated various boards, and in-creased the provincial sales tax to seven per cent to pay the bills.

Another Bill Bennett legacy was dismantling the monopoly chokehold of big international unions on public heavy con-struction.

Growing up in northeastern B.C., I had seen the impressive pay for jobs on highway con-struction, about twice what I earned labouring for a non-union contractor doing city work.

A couple of friends discovered the inside track to securing la-bouring jobs on a provincially-funded highway project. After joining the union, those in the know could visit a business agent and hand over $500 cash. Within days, the lucky winner would be “name requested” to join the crew, vaulting over those who thought paying dues and working their way up the se-niority list would be enough.

This struggle over public con-struction continues today, with BC Hydro’s decision to make the Site C dam an open shop.

The main contract was award-ed to a consortium working with the Christian Labour As-sociation of Canada, an alter-native union known by more colourful names among old-line building trades.

After graduating from journal-ism school, I landed my first full-time job as a reporter for the Kelowna Capital News, shortly before Bennett announced his retirement from the premier’s of-fice to finish his term as a back-bench MLA.

Bennett and I would some-times arrive for work together, parking our rusty 1976 Chevro-lets on Bernard Avenue, where he kept an office above the fam-ily furniture store.

I found out later that Bennett’s modest old sedan was the gov-ernment-issue car he had used during his entire 10 years as pre-mier.

The party bought it for him as a humourous retirement gift, and he continued to drive it to work. No frills. That was Bill Bennett.

The Ladysmith-Chemainus Chronicle is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry. The council considers complaints from the public about the conduct of member newspapers. Directors oversee the mediation of complaints, with input from both the newspaper and the complaint holder. If talking with the editor or publisher does not resolve your complaint about coverage or story treatment, you may contact the B.C. Press Council. Your written concern, with documentation, should be sent to B.C. Press Council, PO Box 1356, Ladysmith, B.C. V9G 1A9. For information phone 1-888-687-2213 or go to www.bcpresscouncil.org.

You don’t have to be a prognosticator or gambler to figure out a few of the issues that will be dealt to us in 2016. A lot of the cards are already in our hands, which makes it pretty clear what some of the stories in the coming year will be.

The Viki Lyne II will continue to be a story for the Ladysmith-Chemainus Chronicle; and if it hasn’t been removed from the har-bour by next December, it will be a story in 2017 as well. There’s absolutely no excuse for that boat to be sitting where it is.

Continued growth, innovation and de-velopment by the Stz’uminus First Nation will also be on our pages in the coming year. There’s the Holland Creek Develop-ment to talk about, and the Oyster Sto’lo Road project, just to name a couple that are being moved along by the Coast Sal-ish Development Corp.

Education is always a news focus, and the Nanaimo-Ladysmith School District will continue to make headlines – particu-larly from the southern extremity of the district, where it’s sometimes hard not to feel like the tail of the dog.

There are many issues to follow-up on when it comes to the social and health files in our communities. The results of several studies suggest there’s work to be done making Ladysmith and Chemainus caring and healthy. Two in particular come to mind: the Early Development In-dex suggests not all children here are get-ting a fair start in life; and the health haz-ard posed by wood smoke is something the Cowichan Valley Regional District will be considering in an air shed protec-tion strategy.

The arts in Ladysmith and Chemainus are always a source of inspiring news. Look for stories out of the incessantly active Ladysmith Arts Council and Chemainus Valley Cultural Arts Society; and won-drous productions from the artists, musi-cians, writers, actors and others who call Ladysmith and Chemainus home.

Climate change and environmental issues will be prominent on our pages, of course...

Then there’s the wild cards. That would be you, the ever fascinating citizens of our communities, who make covering the news here as rewarding as it is fun.

Your Words“...little did I know that the communities of Ladysmith, Chemainus, and Crofton would be so giving”

Editor: Dear Ladysmith community

members: Last month I put out a plea to the community to help me gather necessities like food and clothing for a boy in need... little did I know that the commu-nities of Ladysmith, Chemainus and Crofton would be so giving.

So much so, that the School District social worker and the principal of a local school asked me to perhaps sponsor a few more families that were in need too.

So we decided to sponsor three local families. The response was overwhelming.

For days I was picking up food, gift cards, clothing, and a few gifts for these families. In the end, we were actually able to help five families in total: one that couldn’t afford a Christmas turkey; another whose social worker said could use a little ex-tra Christmas cheer (so we gave them a Chemainus Pizza certifi-cate); and another three, who received boxes of food, turkey, clothing, gifts and gift cards.

A big thank you to everyone who contributed. Every single bit helped. And the businesses that so generously contributed.

Perhaps next time you are thinking of shopping locally, please give these businesses a thought, they really went above and beyond to make this happen.

Thanks for donations, includ-ing:

• $600 from Jeff Mosdell and his coworkers of Coast Capital savings;

• Penningtons Duncan employ-ees for new clothing for a mama, food and gift card;

• Susan Doskocil of Chemainus Impulse Pizza for three gift cer-tificates for each of the families

for a full pizza family meal, deliv-ery included (and no tip);

• Sandy Lowe-Dyer and Tom Hardman, my coworkers at Is-land Health for food, clothing and new gifts;

• Zade Cawley of Save On Foods Ladysmith for donating three turkeys, one for each of the families;

• Kendra Van Shaik, District so-cial worker for Ladysmith Schools.

May you all be blessed this Christmas and know that all of you, who contributed what you could, collectively made Christ-mas a little brighter.

Tom FletcherBlack Press

NDP leader John Horgan sat down with Tom Fletcher for a year-end interview in his Victoria office Dec. 10. Here are excerpts.

TF: In the recent federal election, national NDP leader Thomas Mulcair rejected the Trans Pacific Partnership sight unseen, endorsing letters from Unifor and CUPE saying this is a bad deal. Is your party seen as against Pacific Rim trade?

JH: No, I don’t think so, and what I said at the time was that I support trade. We’re a trade-cen-tered province. We’re looking across the ocean at the largest market the world has known, and I sup-port getting our products to higher-priced markets.

But having said that, the B.C. Liberals embraced TPP without even having seen it.

TF: Your party supports the carbon tax now, but not the revenue neutral approach. Do you support increasing the rate?

JH: ...what I’m comfortable with is that the date that they’ve selected for a ramping up of the car-bon tax is 2018, which will be a year after the next provincial election. So if I’m successful and form a government, I’ll have time to look at tax policy broadly to see if we can make improvements in the carbon tax.

For me, and I think for most British Columbians, the model that Alberta has adopted of taking reve-nues and driving them into industries, or activities like transit, that will reduce emissions over time.

TF: Natural gas price and volume continue to go down, along with commodities generally, and sup-ply of oil and gas keeps going up. What’s your take on the prospects for LNG after the year we’ve had?

JH: Not good. I’ve always said price will deter-mine whether investors drop down multi-billions of dollars in a far-away place to provide a product that is not developed here. Brownfield opportuni-ties have moved very quickly in the U.S. Changing LNG import facilities to export facilities is a whole lot easier and cheaper than starting from scratch.

Getting to the coast is a challenge for fossil fu-els, and the last LNG price point I saw delivered in Asia was $5.70 a unit. You’re not going to make money at that price, even with rock-bottom prices here in B.C.

Horgan on trade, carbon tax, LNGJohn Horgan, Leader of the Official Opposition in the B.C. Legislature, and NDP MLA for the riding of Juan de Fuca

Final takes on 2015Sometimes ideas come to you a little too late to execute just as you’d like. When I received some images from Dogpatch resident Traci-Lei Pritchard of Ladysmith Harbour, I wanted to use them, but hadn’t figured out quite how. Then driving in to the Chronicle office next day, the last production day of the Old Year, I was stopped in my tracks by a beautiful scenic of a farm on Chemainus Road. I didn’t even have time to set up; I pointed and shot with the lens I had on before the break in the clouds closed and the illuminating rays of the winter sun on the snow clad forest behind faded. Traci-Lei’s photos of the moon over Ladysmith Harbour, and an eagle perched on a driftwood log were actually taken some time ago, but since I only just received them, I figured they would fit a ‘last takes’ of the year theme. As for the historical shot of Esplanade, it was a new view of Ladysmith for me, and seemed to symbolize the changing boundary between wild and urban perfectly. Craig Spence, Editor

Salonen, Laura Mirjam

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, Laura Salonen, on September 29, 2015.

Mom was born in Finland on August 25, 1920. She married Olavi, her husband for 36 years, and they immigrated to Ladysmith in 1951 where they were one of many Finnish families building a life in this community.

Laura is predeceased by her husband Olavi in September 1983.

She is survived by her daughters, Pirjo Barnes and Nora (Andrew) Dowsett and son Tapio (Renee) Salonen.

She will also be lovingly remembered by granddaughter Sherie Barnes, grandsons Aaron (Nicole) Salonen, Troy (Diana) Salonen and Christopher Dowsett, as well as great grandson Shane and great granddaughter Alexa.

We would like to give special thanks to the wonderful staff at the Chemainus Care Centre where mom resided for the past year and to Dr. Manhas for his attentive care.

In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Condolences may be offered at [email protected]

The Ministry of Agriculture is re-minding people on Vancouver Island to mark their calendars for the 2016 Islands Agriculture Show, which takes place Feb. 12 and 13, this year at the Cowichan Exhibition Grounds in Dun-can.

Says the IAS web site, “The Islands Agriculture Show is the only agricul-tural trade show and conference serv-ing the farm and food community on Vancouver Island, Coast and Gulf Is-lands.”

It brings together farmers, rural land-owners, farm organizations equipment dealers, service providers and the gen-eral public, providing “a venue for par-ticipants to learn, connect and engage.”

The agriculture show includes con-ference, trade show and family activi-ties. Admission to the trade show is $5; to conference sessions, $15.At the trade show there will be over

60 exhibitors, including booths show-

ing “the latest in farm equipment, as well as professional services and pro-grams for farmers of every size and sector.”

IAS’s conference is billed as a “re-gional learning event, which offers 16 educational workshops from farm business planning to agronomy and funding programs. The program offers sessions for farmers of all levels.”

The keynote speaker at this year’s IAS will be John Cranfield, professor and department chair of Food Eco-nomics and Marketing at the Univer-sity of Guelph.“A noted expert on the economics of food, John appeared on an episode of TVO’s The Agenda on ‘Feeding the World 2050’, and has testified be-fore the House of Common’s Stand-ing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food, and the Canadian Senate’s Standing Committee on Agriculture and Forestry,” notes the IAS web site.

The conference schedule is post-ed at iashow.ca/conference.html. It includes sessions on consumer behaviour, market trends, food pro-cessing, water management, and taxation.“The Islands Agriculture Show fea-tures a two-day conference, offering learning opportunities for farmers large and small,” says the IAS site.

“This regional learning event features 10 educational workshops with com-pelling speakers.”

There will also be a Farm Tour & Panel about Developing Water Storage on Your Farm. “This tour and panel session will describe what’s involved in creating and using water storage on your farm,” says the description. “It will help you determine whether wa-ter storage is a good option for your operation and if so, how to move from concept to action.”
