Tofino nun turns 100 Sister Margaret Baumann celebrates her first century

ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Sister Margaret Mary Baumann basked in the love of her church, surrounded by friends, family and plenty of chocolate as she officially ringed in her first century on Monday.

The Tofitian nun celebrated her 100th birthday at St. Francis of Assisi Church on Aug. 26, though the festivities had enjoyed an early start as 18 family members arrived from California, Oregon, Illinois and Minnesota the week prior to revel in Baumann’s immense accomplishment.

“It’s very meaningful. It’s not very often you get to turn 100,” Baumann laughed to the Westerly News in an interview on Aug. 21. “It just feels sort of important for some reason.”

She enthusiastically added that she was looking forward to her birthday cake.

“I love chocolate,” she beamed. “Anything chocolate: candy, cake, cookies, ice cream, you name it.”

Quick-witted and good-humoured, Baumann remains both socially and physically active in Tofino and attributed her long life to an active lifestyle and spending time outdoors.

“Doing everything I can do. I get outside. I go for walks,” she said, adding her love of walking is intensified by a love for her surroundings.

“How can you not love Tofino? I just love Tofino. I love the views, the ocean, everything and the people are just wonderful here. Everything about Tofino is beautiful.”

She added that she uses a walker affixed with a chair in case she gets tired, though her walking partner Sister Anita Tavera was quick to point out that chair frequently goes unused.

Beach fire ban debate reignited Local fumes over ‘unsightly’ remains

Parks Canada is concerned that summer drivers travelling between Tofino and Ucluelet and exploring the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve are speeding too quickly through the construction zones scattered throughout the Pacific Rim Highway.

In an advisory released last week, the Park Reserve stated that work on its $51-million, 25

Charcoal black pods of beach fire remains were scattered across the high tide line at MacKenzie Beach on Aug. 21. and unsightly,” read part of her letter. “I know campfires are traditionally part of the outdoor beach experience but let’s break bad traditions and instead respect the beach.”

She suggested that if the district was unable to enforce an outright ban on beachfires, “the resorts should clean up the messes made by their tourists” or provide fire rings to contain the charcoal remains.

Council received Amrhein’s letter without discussion, though mayor Josie Osborne asked the district’s fire chief and manager of protective services Brent Baker for his input.

Baker suggested concerns over beach fires have simmered down, with less complaints coming in this summer compared to last.

“We’ve received fewer of these letters this year,” he said. “The feedback that I’ve been getting from the RCMP and bylaw staff is that the scenario has been improving. They’ve not reported much burning of driftwood during the

hours that they are available for patrol.”

Beach fires are banned at Cox Bay and other beaches within Tofino, but remain permitted at Chesterman and Mackenze Beach from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.

An investigation into what the district could do was sparked by complaints around fire remains, particularly burnt driftwood, in August 2018 and led to the district strengthening its education efforts around beachfire laws. The municipality prohibits burning driftwood and enforces regulations around how fires are extinguished, but educational materials released by the district office do not mandate removing legally burnt debris.

The district officially adopted a bylaw in the spring of 2019 requiring all businesses selling firewood to post provincial and municipal campfire regulations in their stores.

During the Aug. 13 meeting’s public question period, the Westerly News asked if council had considered banning beach fires since passing that bylaw.

“There’s been no further discussion at the council table about enacting a fire ban above and beyond what the Coastal Fire Centre dictates,” Osborne responded.

Amrhein said she had not received a response from the district to her letter as of Aug. 20, and she disagreed with the suggestion that the situation has improved from last summer.

“Absolutely not. I don’t agree with that,” she said, adding she walks along Mackenzie Beach at least three times a week and finds beach fire debris about every three metres.

She said she has lived in the area for more than 40 years and the beach is as bad as she’s ever seen it.

“It has gotten worse,” she said.

“It makes it feel like not a pristine place at all. It makes it feel like the beach is primarily used by the tourists and the locals, kind of, have to mop up after them… It’s very unsightly.”

The Westerly News was unable to reach Baker for comment by presstime.

TIDES & WEATHER

ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Longtime Tofitian Wendy Amrhein is fed up with fuming at the sight of charcoal remains scattered throughout Mackenzie Beach’s otherwise serene, sandy landscape and is reigniting Tofino’s beach fire debate.

“My first choice would be a ban, but barring that possibility, I think either the resorts should clean up after their tourists or the village should clean up after the tourists,” Amrhein told the Westerly News.

She said she was prompted to voice her concerns during a recent walk along Mackenzie Beach.

“I’ve noticed it for a while but this last time was rather appalling,” she said. “There are big, black chunks of wood and little bits of charcoal everywhere along the tideline.”

Amrhein believes banning beach fires would lead to better experiences and more positive community image.

“It would show respect for the beaches and the ocean. We’re supposed to be spearheading banning plastic straws and banning plastic bags, which I totally agree with, but let’s take it a step further,” she said. “I think it would have a positive impact on the beaches.

I think it would be more pristine and cleaner and it would feel like more of a wild experience, walking on a beach that doesn’t have debris on it.”

Amrhein explained her concerns in a letter to her local government, dated Aug. 6, that Tofino’s municipal council reviewed on Aug. 13.

“The tides distribute the burnt wood and if you walk the beach you will see an exceptional number of burnt wood chunks everywhere.

It is really distressing, disgusting

kilometre, multi-use path is ongoing and motorists must slow down as they navigate through construction zones.

“To ensure the safety of both motorists and construction crews, Parks Canada implemented the reduced speed zone this week as a reminder to all motorists to slow down and adhere to the reduced speed limit of 50 km/h when travelling through active construction zones in the Long Beach area of

the National Park Reserve,” the advisory reads.

“Motorists must adhere to posted speed limits on all public roadways. This includes adhering to reduced speeds posted specifically for a construction zone no matter what the regular speed limit is in that area.”

The advisory states that crews are working seven days a week and drivers are “likely to encounter multiple construction zones.”

“Although the pathway route is largely away from the road, construction equipment may be on the move, workers may be nearby even if motorists can’t see them, or trucks and other vehicles could move without warning into a motorist’s path,” the advisory warns.

“With increased activity in the area, there is an increased likelihood of hazards for both motorists and construction crews.”

B.C. VIEWS

Fletcher: Pipelines set to roll as politicians posture The federal election campaign got off to an unofficial start in Victoria with a rare appearance

by Environment Minister Catherine McKenna, to re-announce one of 49 new conservation projects established across the country in the Trudeau Liberals’ pre-election budget.

The beautiful seaside vista of Cattle Point in Oak Bay was an appropriate choice to kick off the chaos and lunacy that will pass for debate about how Canada can continue to develop its energy resources while somehow leading the world into a carbon-free future.

It’s a good spot to watch the daily Alaska crude tankers wind their way past the San Juan Islands to the massive refinery complexes at Anacortes, Cherry Point and the Ferndale Industrial Zone, the Washington state terminus of the Trans Mountain oil pipeline for 65 years.

McKenna was greeted by a handful

According to the latest economic forecast by Central 1 Credit Union, these mega-projects, along with the ongoing Site C dam, the Pattullo Bridge replacement and the Broadway subway in Vancouver, are going to drive the B.C. economy in the years to come.

The group representing credit unions in B.C. and Ontario calculates that interprovincial migration is going to jump from 3,400 people this year to 12,000 in 2020, as skilled workers migrate.

Add that to thousands of international immigrants to B.C. each year, and you get a clearer picture of our impact on the environment and its direction.

Tofino-Ucluelet Westerly News

Sister Margaret celebrates 100th birthday From A1

“She never sits,” Tavera laughed.

“I don’t sit,” Baumann confirmed. “I always say, ‘I’m here to walk.’”

The Sisters of the Immaculate Heart provided a history of Baumann’s life that suggests activity has not been hard to come by these first 100 years.

Born in Detroit on Aug. 26, 1919, Baumann grew up working on her family’s berry farm, later joining the American Navy as a nurse’s aide during the Second World War where she was stationed in Hawaii. Following the war, Baumann worked as a hairdresser in California and entered into the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in 1951. She became a teacher and was assigned to Christie Residential School on Meares Island in 1960, working as an infirmarian, seamstress, craft teacher and childcare worker.

In 1971, she moved from Meares Island to Tofino and continued teaching until

retiring in 1975, though she volunteered at Tofino’s Wickaninnish Community School until 2000. Speaking to the vast change in Tofino’s landscape she’s witnessed over the years, Baumann said the town went from dirt roads to packed ones.

“Cars are coming this way and that way. Sometimes it takes 10 minutes to get out of the driveway,” she said, adding she’d like to see the district create more parking for tourists.“Tofino needs parking.”

Baumann lives in Tofino with her fellow Immaculate Heart of Mary Sisters Tavera and Laura Distaso and continues to be active in her church, St. Francis of Assisi.

“She is absolutely amazing. She gets up every morning and, after we have our quiet prayer time, she’s up carpet sweeping, dusting; she does all the dishes because she figures that we’re the cooks, so she can help by doing the dishes,”

Tavera told the Westerly. “She’s really inspiring. She keeps us going…It’s great to have her in our lives. We really think it’s a gift that the Lord has given us. To have her in our lives is a special gift from God. That’s the way we see it because her example is inspiring.”

Tavera added Baumann never shies away from activity and particularly enjoys jigsaw puzzles, playing cards and dice.

“If I’m out in the garden, she’s out there helping me pull weeds…Whatever I’m doing she’s out there doing it with me. She’s very active. She really enjoys being outdoors and enjoying nature,” Tavera said. “It’s great because she’s just so eager…She’s game for anything and everything and she’s always wanting to help…She doesn’t want to miss out on anything.”

Baumann received an early birthday gift on Aug. 21 when representatives of the Alberni Lifeline Program she sub-

scribes to announced that she would receive the service for free from now on.

The program offers a personal emergency response system where subscribers wear a button on a necklace that they can push if they need help.

“We will get them any assistance that they require, whether that be police, fire, paramedic or just a family friend or neighbour to come and assist them,” Alberni Lifeline co-ordinator Dodi Clark told the Westerly adding the program is particularly important for seniors living in rural and remote communities like Tofino.

“Being able to get her help as quickly as she could potentially need is very important.”

Baumann said the lifeline program “definitely” provides a feeling of safety because she feels “very confident” she can get help if she needs it.

“They’re always very faithful about calling,” Baumann said. “I definitely do

Brendan Morrison’s annual derby nets $84,000 for community ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Jubilation surrounded the Tofino Resort and Marina last week, as the beneficiaries of Brendan Morrison’s Saltwater Classic gathered to receive their donation cheques and celebrate each other’s committed community efforts.

The Classic hosted its 10th annual successful showing last month and has well-established itself as a colossal source of funding for a variety or local organizations, passing the $500,000 mark for dollars raised last year.This year’s event netted

“There’s so much support for our small community from Brendan Morrison.”

– Arlene McGinnis $84,000, which was distributed to 19 grateful organizations that received their cheques at a ceremony held on Aug. 20.

“I think the whole event from planning, through fruition, to this cheque distribution ceremony has

such an amazing community feel to it. All of the people that were represented here today are doing great work in our community and it’s just a good feeling to be able to help support them,” Saltwater Classic spokesperson Lynda Kaye told the Westerly News at the event.

“They represent a fair cross-section of who we are as a community: involved, energetic, volunteer-minded and appreciative of the things that we all come together collectively to do for the good of the community.”

She said the event’s giving nature,

COMMUNITY CALENDAR

with all proceeds donated back into the community, is a product of its founder Brendan Morrison’s love for the community.

“It has everything to do with Brendan,” Kaye said of the former NHL star who frequently visited Tofino in his youth and purchased property in the town roughly 13 years ago.

“He’s always wanted to find a way to give back in some way. It’s his vision for this event and he has put his heart and soul into it every year since we started.

Classic’s support helps initiatives thrive From A7 “I think, in general, you’ll find that NHL players and former NHL players are super fundraising-minded and this was he and [his wife] Erin’s way to do something positive for the community that they really love so much.”

One of this year’s beneficiaries was the Tofino General Hospital Foundation and foundation chair Arlene McGinnis told the Westerly she is perpetually inspired by Morrison’s contributions.

“There’s so much support for our small community from Brendan Morrison; I just can’t say enough about that man. He does so much for our community,” she said.

“He’s not contributing to one group of people, he’s contributing to many and that’s important. It brings

“He’s always wanted to find a way to give back in some way.”

– Lynda Kaye people together and it’s just wonderful…When we meet down here and everybody sees who is receiving these donations from the Saltwater Classic it forms a partnership with everybody. It’s just really heartwarming.”

Samantha Hackett of the Westcoast Multiplex Society said the Classic’s support makes a huge difference in terms of the society’s abilities to lobby for its proposed ice-rink and pool facility on the West Coast.

“We’re going after $18 million, so we need this money to keep us

going and keep the dream alive,” she said adding Brendan and Erin’s support shows their commitment to the town.

“It’s so encouraging. They care so much. It’s more than just a fun weekend for them, it is about the contribution to the community and making sure that their money is widespread through different organizations and we really appreciate being one of those.”

Elizabeth Yuhasz of Tofino’s Community Children’s Centre was ecstatic to be celebrating the Classic’s generosity with so many other local groups.

“Today was awesome because it was so wonderful to see so many different organizations all in one place that are getting support from such a wonderful volunteer-run event,” she

said. “It was exciting being able to see everyone able to come together and benefit from such an amazing opportunity for all our families, our community members, our children that are growing up here and really making their life here.”

Yuhasz said she has lived in Tofino for 10 years and watched the town’s growth lead to a growing need for local support.

“Knowing that there are community members who want to support you and the community you’re working for and living in is such an empowering, wonderful feeling,” she said.

“It just makes me really proud to be a part of the [Classic] and also the community living here.”

The Classic has been a longstanding supporter of the Tofino Rec Commission’s Kids Access Fund,

which provides financial support for local youth to participate in recreational programs. Speaking on behalf of the commission, municipal councillor Tom Stere said support from fundraisers like the Classic is “critical” to keeping Tofino’s health humming.

“There are limited ways for us to raise funds, so this is an important source of funding for many of the small community groups that it supports and, without it, they wouldn’t be able to deliver a lot of the programs that they’re able to do,” he said. “[Brendan’s] a super-nice guy, great with kids and his continued support of this community does not go unnoticed”.

The dates for next year’s Tofino Saltwater Classic will be announced in January.

Surfrider Pacific Rim completed an epic eight-day clean up of the Broken Group Islands (BGI) last week.

Led by chapter manager Lilly Woodbury and boat captain Lyle Berzins, the expedition was split into two trips of four days with eight different volunteers for each trip.

“The teams worked incredibly hard and were extremely dedicated to removing the most marine debris they could,” said Woodbury.

“It’s beyond inspiring to see volunteers take time off of work to join these efforts, working to clean up plastic pollution caused by the industrial, institutional and commercial sectors in addition to individuals.

“At the end of the day, we cleaned up a very small portion of B.C.’s coastline, but retrieved a mountain of plastic. We hope that this clean, along with all of the others that are executed by non-profit volunteer organizations, will continue to fuel the movement to address this crisis. Everyone needs to play a part in restoring and protecting the shorelines and preventing marine debris from occurring in the first place, which includes government and the sectors contributing to the problem.”

Located southeast of Ucluelet, the BGI falls within the tribal territory of the Tseshaht First Nation and is part

of the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve.

Courtenay-Alberni MP Gord Johns said it is prudent that the federal government honour the contents of motion M-151, a National strategy to combat plastic pollution, and provide long-term stable funding for these types of initiatives.

“This is the kind of leadership that needs to be supported by the federal government in Ottawa. These are selfless volunteers doing the hard work.

We are grateful and forever indebted for their efforts,” said Johns.

Zoë Jordan, owner of Ucluelet’s popular Zoë’s Bakery and Café, joined the second team in the BGI to help with the clean up. Jordan also participated in the 2016 District of Ucluelet led clean up of the same area.

“There was definitively a lot more Styrofoam this time. Just bags and bags of Styrofoam. It sounds like a lot of it is coming from broken up docks on the Coast. There is also a lot of fishing debris, floats and oyster baskets,” said Jordan, who operates her bakery as an Ocean Friendly Business and hosts Surfrider’s monthly Stitch and Beach program.

Surfrider volunteers collected enough debris to fill a total of 45 ‘super sacs’, with one holding up to 1,000 litres of debris. Out of the 45 super sacs filled, 20 contained foam.

Woodbury said Surfrider

continues to be shocked by the amount of Styrofoam and polystyrene that washes up all over the coastline.

“Some of the pieces, like the 10-feet by four-feet by two-feet piece we found, can be collected, but there are millions of micro-sized pieces that litter the shores, inundate the vegetative line, and constantly pose a threat to B.C.’s ecosystems and species. This highlights the extreme need to ban and regulate products and packaging made from this material, in addition to adding plastic waste to the Canadian Environmental Protection Act’s Schedule 1 List of Toxic Substances,” Woodbury wrote in an email to the Westerly.

For volunteer Riley Richters, a Surf Canada Nationals SUP surf finalist, the BGI remote clean made him more aware of his own general plastic consumption.

“You can’t turn it off. Now your eyes just focus on [plastic] wherever you are,” said Richters.

Only 20 pounds of what Surfrider collected was sent to landfill, according to Woodbury. All other debris was sent to the Ocean Legacy Foundation, a Vancouver-based marine debris recycling centre.

The Province of British Columbia is currently seeking feedback on how to reduce plastics overall. People can view and complete the survey by visiting: cleanbc.gov.bc.ca/ plastics.

SATURDAY MORNING DIRT JUMP JAM: Young BMX riders root for David Gerbrandt as he races through Ucluelet’s newly opened BMX bike track. Located on Matterson Drive between Bay Street and Marine Drive, the BMX trail park offers jumps for all levels and was constructed by Dylan King as a project for Parks and Recreation. “It’s wonderful to see the space being used. I’m hoping this is a start of a very successful three-year project,” said Abby Fortune, manager of Parks and Recreation, adding that the District has budgeted for maintenance for the next three years.

Martial arts instructor honoured for years of service NORA O’MALLEY nora.omalley@westerlynews.ca

Sensei Ian Shu, a fourth-degree black belt, teaches his students how to kick and punch.

But unlike a kickboxing class, the Purple Dragon Don Jitsu Ryu system is a workout for the mind as much as it is for the body, he says.

“A good martial artist should be aware of their surroundings at all times,” states Sensei Shu. “They should see trouble coming and thus avoid it.”

Since bringing the non-violent martial arts practice to the West Coast over two decades ago, Sensei Shu has enlightened so many kids that he’s lost count.

“Hundreds and hundreds of students,” he tells the Westerly. “Hopefully Purple Dragon will help them grow up strong.”

For Shu, who first discovered the path of Purple Dragon while he was

living in Vancouver in 1996, the sport has helped him build confidence and break out of his shy-guy shell.

This July, Sensei Shu was honoured with a special award for his 23 years of dedication and service the Don Jitsu Ryu school of martial arts.

“It felt really good to get the recognition,” he says, adding that he was presented the award in Florida during a training camp with Purple Dragon founder Prof. Don Jacob.

“There was a heartfelt speech. They were bringing people to tears,” he says.

Prof. Jacob, a ninth-degree black belt, created the Don Jitsu Ryu system in 1970.

With its international headquarters in Trinidad, there are more than 45 branches of Purple Dragon Dojos (practice halls) in 12 countries. In B.C., there are currently four Dojos, including the West Coast.

Wickaninnish Community School

principal Drew Ryan has been training with Sensei Shu for nine years.

Last August, Ryan graded for his black belt.

“We trained extra sessions leading up to the grading as well as independent training. I believe Sensei’s approachable manner, his connections to families, and commitment to our communities have garnered him both the respect and dedication of his students,” wrote Ryan in an email.

Ryan is one of six West Coasters to achieve the rank of black belt. The black belt testing is a three-day long affair, notes Sensei Shu, that involves demonstrating katas, self-falls, sparring, and running.

“It’s an intense experience, very physically demanding,” he says.

Grand Master Prof. Jacob makes the long journey to the West Coast twice a year to conduct underbelt NORA O’MALLEY PHOTO grading. He will be in Ucluelet once Sensei Ian Shu proudly displays the special trophy he was awarded at in July. again come November.

Aries, you may be feeling sociable this week. Make the most of opportunities to hang out with those people you prefer to spend time with regularly.

Scorpio, you may feel a desire to be fully understood by others this week. But they can only understand you if you’re open and honest with them. Be more forthcoming.
