Assault nets suspended sentence, fine Witnesses said victim hung out open door of car as assailant drove down Bruce Avenue BY JENN M C GARRIGLE THE NEWS BULLETIN

NIOMI PEARSON/THE NEWS BULLETIN

Leafy drawings Johnny Puckett, 9, left, and Jordan Handlen, 8, get their creative juices flowing during ArtRageous Saturdays at the downtown Nanaimo Art Gallery. The program runs until Nov. 24 and provides children with all the supplies. The cost is $10 per child or $15 for two siblings. Please call 250-754-1750 to register.

A Nanaimo man has received a one-year suspended sentence and a fine for assault and driving his car with the passenger door open and a woman hanging out of the car. The incident happened March 31. Police received a 911 call shortly before 4:30 p.m. that a woman was hanging out of a vehicle while it drove down Bruce Avenue in the Harewood area. Police stated at the time that the woman hung out the side of the vehicle for nearly a kilometre before a man and his two sons following the car were able to pull their pickup in front of the car to block its path. The man and his two sons, who asked police to withhold their identities, told police the car was driving at speeds of 30 km/h to 50 km/h while the woman was hanging out of it. The woman was about three months pregnant. Jay Paul Guzina pleaded guilty on Oct. 23 to one count of assault and one count of driving without due care and attention under the Motor Vehicle Act.

He received a one-year suspended sentence, one year probation, a victim surcharge of $50 and an order to report for DNA sample collection for the assault charge. Probation conditions include participating in and successfully completing a counselling program at the direction of the probation officer. Guzina also received a $750 fine for the Motor Vehicle Act offence. Crown counsel Ron Parsons said it is not clear whether Guzina was trying to hold the woman in the car or get her to exit and there is no evidence she ever struck the ground, but the Crown’s position is that Guzina should have stopped the car to sort out the situation before carrying on. As for the assault charge, Parsons said Guzina pleaded guilty to striking the woman and holding onto her hair while she was in the vehicle. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Island food producers get ready to grow BY NIOMI PEARSON THE NEWS BULLETIN

Nanaimo’s agri-food businesses will be given some food for thought during the Get Ready to Grow road show. The Small Scale Food Processor Association (SSFPA) is bringing ideas to food processors in eight communities across B.C., including the Harbour City on Nov. 13, at the Beban Park Social Centre. According to SSFPA executive director Candice Appleby, registration for the Nanaimo event is already fully booked. “We may end up doing another one,” she said. Get Ready to Grow will feature four key presentations to help local food businesses maximize their profit year round. “We believe that there is more and more demand for [food]

product that people know where it’s coming from,” Appleby said. “What we’re providing them with is the pathways as well as the tools and resources to manage that growth.” The presentations are: Things you need to know to start a food business; Adopting digital technology; Grow Safely with WorkSafe BC; and Food Safety tools and resources. Appleby said ‘value added’ is the key buzz-word for today’s small businesses.

“It’s very challenging for small farms to compete with the fresh produce imports,” Appleby said. “As companies grow, they have to do other things.” She said growers can extend their season by turning produce into product, as an example. Road show attendees will learn how to utilize the Internet to market their products, through use of websites and social networks. They’ll also learn about the courses available through the SSFPA’s Learning Management System, which include issues such as recall, traceability, copacking, and training courses for food processing workers.

REMEMBRANCE DAY HOURS

NOVEMBER 11, 11:15 am – 6 pm. In honour of our veterans, we thank you!

After nearly six weeks of consultation in communities across the province, including Nanaimo, the B.C. Electoral Boundaries Commission is preparing its final report on the redistribution of federal election boundaries to present to Parliament by Dec. 21. The proposed boundary changes call for a new riding, South Cowichan-Juan de Fuca, and would alter the current Nanaimo-Cowichan riding to extend to the intersection of Nanaimo Parkway and Island Highway on the north end, and reach as far as Ladysmith and Lake Cowichan to the south. It would lose Duncan, Cobble Hill, Mill Bay and Chemainus to the new riding. Proposed boundaries for Nanaimo-Alber ni riding would include the Regional District of Alber ni-Clayoquot, part of Courtenay, the Village of Cumberland, and a very small piece of Nanaimo that would include the neighbourhood around Brannen Lake west of the Nanaimo Parkway. During a public hearing in Nanaimo, held Oct. 16, some residents voiced concerns over the placement of Lake Cowichan in the NanaimoCowichan riding, while others proposed the idea of including the entirety of Nanaimo under the same riding. “They didn’t want to remove Lake Cowichan from having a connection to the Duncan area, so that’s something we’ve been actively looking at and may well change,” said Justice John E. Hall, chairman of the B.C. Electoral Boundaries Commission.

Those in favour of a Nanaimo riding that would encompass the entire city suggested that Ladysmith and Lantzville should also be included in the riding. “We’re certainly looking at that, and it may be that Nanaimo will fit within – I don’t know that it’s possible for it to be all its own – I don’t know that the numbers are quite there but it’s getting close,” he said. “There wasn’t unanimity as to how to approach it, some people said you had to pay attention to municipal boundaries.” Approximately 23 people attended the hearing. “The reason we have these public hearings is we like to have some input from the people who live in the areas, and speaking for myself and my commissioners I think we’ve found them helpful, most of them,” Hall said. “It gives you something to work with.” The proposed electoral boundaries will add six new ridings for BC, with modest to major changes across the board. “Most of the ridings are going to have some changes, although the ones in the north part of the province probably have less than most,” Hall said. “You try to get yourself within some shouting distance of the population number, which is about 105,000 per riding, and then you look at what fits together from the point of view of access, convenience dealing with the member of parliament.” Once the report is presented to Parliament, MPs will study it and add their input by spring 2013. The commission then reviews the suggestions, which they can accept or reject, and finalize the new federal map by fall 2013, to be in place for the next federal election.

NEW WATER system earns recognition.

received a 2012 TechGREEN award for reducing energy consumption in its water supply operations Saturday. Bruce Joiner, the city’s energy manager, and Bill Sims, Nanaimo’s water resource manager, accepted the award on the city’s behalf as part of the Applied Science Technologists and Technicians B.C.’s 24th annual Technology Awards in Vancouver. Nanaimo was recognized for its new water system that includes energ y-g eneration, which not only powers the system but provides surplus energy back to the B.C. Hydro grid.

The city is also in the process of building a unique gravity-driven water treatment filtration system which eliminates substantial energy costs required to run filtration pumps. The award also recognized Nanaimo’s installation of LED street lighting, ultraviolet water treatment, for implementing solar power generation and for converting part of its fleet to hybrid and electric vehicles. The Applied Science Technolo gists and Technicians of B.C. distributes three awards annually to recognize individuals, businesses and organizations that take a lead in having positive impacts on green living. Victoria designer Alex Zimmerman and Richmond’s United Lock-Block also received awards.

City approves rooming house

Giant gnome officially the world’s largest

Nanaimo city council approved a 12-unit rooming house at 427 Milton St. Monday night. The applicant, Paul Gogo, owns the existing single-family dwelling on the property, and has agreed to enter a Good Neighbour agreement if necessary. The city’s housing agreement

BY AUREN RUVINSKY

requires Gogo to maintain the exterior of the property to adequate standards and designate a responsible manager who will live on site. A zoning bylaw, adopted in 2009, was created to increase affordable housing options in traditional neighbourhoods.

For more than 10 years, the world’s largest gnome stood sentinel over Nanoose Bay without official recognition. This year, official arbiter The Guinness Book of World Records finally recognized the Nanoose Esso gnome as the world’s largest at 7.91 metres (25 ft. 11 in.) tall. The friendly giant was built in 1998 by Ron Hale as an attention-grabbing mascot for the go cart track he and his son Bruce ran on the property where the gas station now stands. Inspired by a book on gnomes that his artist wife Disa had written, the “jack of all trades” set about building it out of what he called “junk” using their own garden gnome as model and scaling it up 15 times. He built a frame out of scrap metal in three sections (legs, torso and head) in his garage and constructed the exterior out of everything from ice cream buckets, bleach bottles and Styrofoam to paper making byproducts from the Port Alberni mill. Installed in 1998, he said the attraction made a noticeable difference in business, with many people stopping to see it and take pictures — a common sight to this day. “It’s a happy thing, people say they wave to it every morning or use it to give directions to their house, or tell people they’ll meet them there,” Disa said, clearly proud of the creation that now belongs to the property which they have since sold. Ron said he never considered his creation’s place in the world of gnomes. It wasn’t until well after it was built that his wife looked into the world record and began what turned out to be a lengthy and complex process. It had to be inspected by an engineer and involved seemingly endless paper work, with the official measuring taking place in August 2009. Though it has been moved around the property several times, due mostly to regional district “bureaucratic hassles,” its protection was a condition of the land sale, giving it some legal protection. Though the record shatters a number of international “world’s largest” claims ranging from four to 5.4 metres, the Hales concede someone will likely build a bigger one just to take the record, “that’s how it goes,” Disa said. According to Wikipedia, gnomes date back to at least the 16th Century and have shifted over the centuries as similar to faeries, dwarves or goblins that live in the soil.

School board supports playground projects BY JENN McGARRIGLE THE NEWS BULLETIN

Nanaimo school district hopes to get money for two playground improvement projects and increase the amount of community use at both sites. The school board gave its support to an application to the School Community Connections program for funding for two projects: $12,500 for goal posts at Park Avenue Elementary School’s half-size field and $5,000 for additional playground equipment for Georgia Avenue Elementary School. The program was launched in 2005 through a one-time $10-million grant from the Education Ministry. It is managed by the Union of B.C. Municipalities and the B.C. School Trustees Association to promote sustainable and innovative collaboration between school boards and local governments. Through the latest round of funding, grants of up to $12,500

are available to districts and depending on the number of applicants, an additional $5,000 per district may be available. Donna Reimer, school district spokeswoman, said the Park Avenue project is the district’s first priority. She said the rationale is making better use of that field for sports – with goal posts, the district will be able to rent the field out to various community sports organizations. “The field itself is in good shape, so we don’t have to upgrade it,” said Reimer. As for Georgia Avenue, she said the district wants the $5,000 to supplement the $25,000 provincial grant it received in June to replace some of the older playground equipment at the school.

Guidebook outlines best rainwater harvesting practices

USES FOR collected water range from irrigation, car washing to waste disposal. BY NIOMI PEARSON THE NEWS BULLETIN

Into each life, a little rain must fall, and if you live in the Nanaimo Regional District, a guidebook can help provide the ins-and-outs of harvesting one of our most important resources. The RDN has just released the Rainwater Harvesting Best Practices Guidebook as part of its Green Building Action Plan. “The guidebook is envisioned as a practical resource for residents in the region interested in exploring and building rainwater capture systems,” said Chris Midgley, RDN manager of Energy and Sustainability. “It’s not a how-to, we’re not expecting people to read the book and be able to go out and build a system, but to understand the systems better so they’re not going into it blind. They’ll know what to look for, what constitutes a well functioning system, and who they may need to bring on board to build those systems.” The concept of rainwater harvesting is

simple – water is collected via the roof area during the fall and winter season and transferred to a cistern area for treatment and then stored for future reuse. Rainwater harvesting systems can be simple or complex design, based on what the water’s designated use is. The spectrum ranges from lawn irrigation to car washing, to indoor uses like toilet flushing. More comprehensive systems would provide an entire household’s needs, including drinking water. “If you’re only interested in watering your garden, you’d have a much smaller amount of storage than if you were going to provide all your household needs,” Midgely said. With limited groundwater resources, particularly in the summer, rainwater capturing is a plus for the environment, and increases residents’ self-sufficiency, slows down or eliminates storm water runoff and reduces energy consumption when compared to wells, Midgley said. “It’s always a good idea to conserve water. People look at the rain outside and wonder why we should bother but the reality is over the summer, the climate here, we have a drought over the summers where groundwater levels drop, where the availability of natural water, or water

“

It’s always a good idea to conserve water.

that hasn’t been stored is less available,” he said. So far, there has been plenty of interest in the rainwater capture program, particularly in the Gabriola and Cedar areas of the district. “If you look at the region more broadly, there are certain areas that are more vulnerable to water shortages than others, the classic example being Gabriola Island where they don’t really have a distribution system,” he explained. “Those residents are hopefully going to be interested in the guide, but generally, as well, the Yellow Point aquifer is identified as an aquifer that’s susceptible to impacts, or vulnerable to development, so to protect your groundwater resources in places like that, rainwater systems are particularly useful.” This year, the RDN’s Water Services Department established a rainwater har-

vesting incentive program which provided rebates of up to $750 to homeowners who invest in cisterns exceeding 4,546 litres. According to RDN special projects assistant Julie Pisani, all 40 of the district’s available incentive rebates were used up within the first six months of offering the program. In addition, the RDN established the Yellow Point Aquifer Development Permit Area in the Electoral Area A Official Community plan in 2011, requiring new development and major renovations within the area to incorporate rainwater harvesting systems with a 18,000-plus litre capacity. Pisani said the RDN is hoping to offer and expand the rebate program for 2013, but the proposal will not be brought forward to the district board until March. One free copy of the guidebook is available for each household in the RDN, and additional copies, or copies for non-residents can be purchased for $15. An electronic version of the guide is available from the RDN’s website at www.rdn.bc.ca under the services/energy tab. To order a guidebook, contact sustainability coordinator Ting Pan at 1-877-6074111 or via e-mail at sustainability@rdn. bc.ca. reporter3@nanaimobulletin.com

EDITORIAL

Shortages of water worsens Glance out the window on a stormy, wet fall or winter day and the thought of harvesting rainwater in Nanaimo would likely be the furthest thing from most people’s minds. Why? We have so much. But a month ago residents were marvelling at ‘Aug-tober’ weather following the driest August and September in Nanaimo on record. And while the Harbour City PLANS TO didn’t have the concerns over drought that plagued conserve of communities water can’t ain number the province – including happen too nearby Cowichan Valley, soon for the Courtenay and the Sunshine Coast – areas that rely environment. on wells such as Gabriola Island, Cedar and Yellow Point that can normally make it through to September, are now seeing a lack of water in June. And if an earthquake in Haida Gwaii can completely alter the flow of water to a hot spring, who’s to say aquifers in the central Island are not at risk. That’s why the Regional District of Nanaimo’s plan to inform residents on the finer points of rainwater collection makes sense. Why should we be using water that costs taxpayers millions of dollars to treat for consumption to wash cars, water lawns or flush down toilets when technology allows a source to be collected and stored for days when there is not a cloud in the sky? There’s no guarantee water will flow forever. It’s a finite resource that most of us take for granted when we turn on our taps, and unfortunately abuse. Any effort from individuals or a community to conserve water goes a long way in helping us all to survive. It’s all a matter of desire to do the right thing. Water means life, and collecting and storing it for the proverbial ‘rainy day’ when it’s needed the most is a no-brainer.

They trick the body into believing they’re somehow indispensable – sort of like bureaucrats. Left unchecked, they become a drain on the system and cause a whole array of potential health, social and fashion issues. The older you get, the tougher it gets to battle the bureaucracy, keep the bulge at bay and recuperate from strained muscles, bumps and bruises when you overdo it. And the overdo it threshold seems to get lower each year. A couple months back I tore a tendon in my left arm, not while riding a bike, but pulling on a wrench while preparing the bike the night prior to a ride around Denman and Hornby islands. So, no mountain biking for me for a while. Just road rides and convincing myself that I’ve never felt better in my life. photos@nanaimobulletin.com

Farms decimate wild salmon Emergency earthquake To the Editor, Now that the three-year, $26-million Cohen Report has been released, we are finally told science shows salmon farms spread diseases and parasites that decimate wild salmon populations. Not to mention that salmon farmers kill thousands of sea lions and seals that protect wild stocks by eating sharks, mackeral and other species that prey on salmon or compete with them for habitat. These are obvious actions from an industry that sees wild salmon stocks as competition, and should have been obvious to the government when these Norwegian corporations were allowed here. They had already

Readers respond: Feedback on news Nostalgia no reason to save Island rail To the Editor, Re: Vancouver Island residents have a say in rail’s f future , Guest Comment, Oct. 30. Graham Bruce has once again ignored the fact there is no commitment by any commercial venture to use the Island railway. No forestry company, no mining enterprise, no sawmill and no transportation company has signed on the dotted line. Yes, the Washington Transportation Group may have said it will be fully responsible for making the railway work, but at what cost? Not the $3.2 million that taxpayers are being asked to put up over and above the $15 million that we will pay through the federal and provincial subsidies. The Island Corridor Foundation gets its money from us as well. That means the WTG will spend 2.4 per cent of the total. And that is for a 25-year deal that does not guarantee anything. It might be determined there is no viable use for the railway, anyway. Nostalgically, the railway is nice to have. Unfortunately, we can’t afford the nostalgia. J. Sharpe Nanaimo

headline is sensational and incites fear. The word ‘suspicious’ unnecessarily invokes reactionary emotions. Knowing some of the reactions of mothers in the area to this person’s activities – as expressed by those mothers through an online forum – such an article is likely to be glossed over, with the lack of comprehension of the details resulting in irrational panic and unwarranted judgement of neighborhood safety, as well as this person’s true ‘threat’ to public safety. As a news outlet, you have incredible power in shaping perception and reaction to ‘news’ in the area. Please be more aware of the disconnects between the headlines and story content. Perhaps a better headline would be ‘Information requested on teen canvassing babysitting services.’ Warrick Baijius Nanaimo

Tourists won’t flock to oil-soaked B.C. To the Editor, Re: Future looks bright for B.C.’s tourism industry, Oct 27. Thank you for pointing out that tourism and hospitality now surpass all resourcebased industries, including

forestry, mining, oil and gas extraction and agriculture. The provincial government estimates that revenue from this sector will top $18 billion by 2016. If we are to continue with this trend, we need to protect our natural assets, starting with our coastline. I would think this fact alone should be enough to sway people to the side of those protesting Enbridge’s proposed pipelines. Trish Mooney Nanaimo

Columnist’s views nothing but babble To the Editor, Re: Tar sands attack gets star treatment, B.C. Views, Oct. 25. Once more we are subjected to the inane babbling of Tom Fletcher. Whenever he can’t get a point across with intelligent speech, he resorts to sarcasm. He might not think an oil spill – whether on land or in the Pacific Ocean – will end life on Earth as we know it, but thousands of people who make their living on the sea or adjacent to it would disagree. It would certainly ruin their lives and the marine life which they depend on to survive. Fletcher’s thoughts are so distorted, I can only assume he has become drawn in by the Harpies (not unlike the Moonies). His master speaks and he responds. Why should we believe Suncor founder Rick George and completely dismiss David Suzuki? In light of the recent facts that the government and Canadian Food Inspection Agency cannot keep our food is safe, we will increasingly depend on our oceans. A. Donaldson Nanaimo

Last month’s earthquake near Haida Gwaii serves as a reminder to all of us just how important it is to be prepared for emergencies. In the days since this event, a number of questions and concerns have come forward around how and when communities received tsunami information from the B.C. government. We have a robust and multifaceted emergency management system in British Columbia, one that is recognized globally for its efficiency and effectiveness. While much of the public and media focus has been on social media, it’s critical to remember that it is just one part of what is a comprehensive notification system. I know, in response to the earthquake, the system worked well at the local-authority level and our operational team at Emergency Management B.C. responded quickly and worked diligently to keep the public informed. This is not to suggest there aren’t aspects of the response that can’t be done better. On that night, as is the case when any earthquake happens and there is the potential a tsunami may impact B.C.’s coast, the first official notification came within minutes from the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center in Palmer, Alaska. The center sent this notification to EMBC as well as to the many local governments, agencies, media and individuals who are registered with its notification system. As is appropriate, many local authorities began acting as soon as they received this initial notification. As the next step to further increase awareness of this notification, EMBC staff then began using a variety of tools to relay this critical emergency information to local governments, media and key stakeholders. In fact, within 12 minutes the Emergency Coordination Centre began directly calling provincial emergency management staff and local authorities in the impacted regions. Local authorities are the first responders in B.C.’s communities and are required by legislation to have emergency plans in place that include procedures for relaying critical emergency information to residents and visitors. The initial tsunami notification from the ECC also went to senior levels of government, representatives from the military and Public Safety Canada, RCMP, utilities and B.C. Ambulance. That weekend, we saw the leadership of local authorities up and down the coast as they activated emergency action plans. One of the other major tools government uses to contact British Columbians directly is the

Provincial Emergency Notification System. This was added in 2006 as part of our earthquake and tsunami response plan and uses technology to systematically send tsunami notifications via phone, fax and e-mail to thousands of first responders, local governments and the media. Our government will do everything it can to notify as many people as possible. Our first priority is to contact first responders and those who will lead the local emergency response, and then to let them take over and decide how best to contact the citizens of their communities. The staff behind our @ EmergencyInfoBC Twitter feed will always be working to find that right balance between accuracy and timeliness in how we post social media updates, but at the end of the day, the fact remains if Mother Nature has let you know there is a problem, don’t wait for your cellphone to ring, or to get a text or Twitter message. Move into emergency mode and activate your plan. Especially if we’re facing a large earthquake or other disaster, your Internet or cellphone access may be limited and it will be your initial response that saves your life. The most important thing for people in coastal areas of B.C. to understand is that when the ground shakes – especially if it goes on longer than a minute – that’s the first notification that a tsunami could impact the area. Anyone in coastal locations who feels strong shaking from an earthquake should assume that a tsunami may have been generated and should immediately move to high ground as soon as the shaking stops. We must never forget that emergency preparedness begins with each of us as individuals. All British Columbians should have emergency plans and kits in place for themselves and their families. And all British Columbians should take the time to familiarize themselves with their community’s emergency plan. As with any large emergency response, I have asked EMBC to conduct a review of how our response and communications systems worked. It’s only responsible that we continue to look at not only what went right, but more importantly, where we can improve and how we can better work with our emergency response partners in local communities to notify and protect our citizens. I can reassure British Columbians that our government is committed to providing a worldclass public safety response. ◆ Shirley Bond is B.C.’s Minister of Justice and Attorney General.

Instead of presents for his birthday party, the five-year-old asked for cash donations to the Kids Help Phone.

Singer celebrates small moments, which become a muse for music

It sculpts time. It exists alongside life in a complementary way.

BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN

oetry lingers everywhere, it’s just a matter of seeing it. It dwells in the simplistic – the small things. These tiny fragments are sources of inspiration for singer-songwriter Hawksley Workman, which he uses to craft his songs. “There is plenty of inspiration in life, you just have to open your eyes. There are little bits of poetry coming on all the time,” he said. “I like to look at the little things and celebrating the smallness.” Songs live inside people’s lives, said Workman. People remember the songs they fell in love to or ones that played during pivotal moments in their lives. He said these are songs that “live with you forever.” “It’s an art form that lives in time. It sculpts time – it exists alongside life in a complementary way,” he said. Over the last 12 years Workman has recorded 13 albums, has been nominated for a Juno award six times and has won two. The musician is also an actor and published author. In 2002, his book Hawksley Burns for Isadora was published, which is a collection of fictional love letters written to a mermaid. Workman said he counts himself lucky for having a music career with such longevity. “It feels incredible to feel relevant,” he said. He performs at the Port Theatre Friday (Nov. 9) at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $40, $35 for members and groups and $15 for students. They are available by calling 250754-8550, online at www.porttheatre.com or at the Port Theatre ticket office, located at 125 Front St.

Darkness and rage fuels demon barber Sweeney Todd’s quest for revenge BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN

With the stroke of his barber knife Sweeney Todd slices the throats of his victims and then sends them to the basement to

become components for freshly baked pies. The meat pies become a hit with Londoners, who unknowingly consume their neighbours and friends. The brutality of Sweeney

Todd is fuelled by his desire for revenge. He is a tortured soul that descends into darkness and madness – feelings driven by his sense of injustice over being imprisoned so Judge Turpin and Beadle could

take advantage of his family. He spent 15 years incarcerated in a penal colony and when he returns to his beloved home in London, discovers that the place he once viewed as the best

place in the world is not the same. “As an actor you feel a little for Sweeney,” said Dean Chadwick, who plays the barber in Schmooze Productions Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber

of Fleet Street. “Sweeney is one of those characters you really have to dig deep and put yourself in his world. His world has been crashed and he was a victim first.” ◆ See ‘PRODUCTION’ /23

Blues veterans join forces on tour Veteran blues performers Doc MacLean and Morgan Davis are heading to Nanaimo on their national tour. The two perform at Headliners, located at 165 Fraser St., on Saturday (Nov. 10) at 7:30 p.m. The musicians named their tour the National Steel Blues Emergency Tour because they feel blues is “a healing art form.” Davis has been performing for nearly four decades. The musician, originally from Detroit, grew up listening to a mix of

rhythm and blues. “He’s one of the greatest storyteller-entertainers, one of the best songwriters in the genre, one of the most respected musicians,” said MacLean, in a press release, about Davis. MacLean has performed blues for more than 30 years. He was first known as an accompanist on harmonica and washboard and then as a guitarist and singer. Tickets are $20 and are available at the door, by calling 250-753-2323 or at Harbour City Music.

Mrs. Lovett, played by Amy Mikkelborg, and Sweeney Todd, played by Dean Chadwick, share a grisly relationship of murder in Schmooze Productions Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

Production adds twist to tale ◆ From /21 It’s a character that challenges an actor to delve into loss and despair and take a journey to a world consumed by rage and brutality. For Chadwick that challenge is twofold – he’s doing double duty as Sweeney Todd and as a co-director of the play. “It is a huge challenge and exciting at the same time,” he said. Schmooze Productions is making a twist on the play that is normally set in Victorian London, for this production the company is doing the play in the steampunk era. Steampunk is a genre that features steampowered machinery and can include elements of science fic-

Clippers win two on trip

Mariners hang on to win first game I MEN’S BASKETBALL team beats Chargers; VIU women win too. BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN

Playing to a packed gym, the VIU Mariners came up with a pair of crowd-pleasing performances. Vancouver Island University’s men’s and women’s basketball teams swept their home openers against the Camosun Chargers on Friday night at the VIU gym. The M’s women won 58-45 and the M’s men held on for an 83-78 victory. Friday’s game was the first test of the Pacific Western Athletic Association regular season for new Mariners men’s coach Matt Kuzminski. “It feels good,” he said after the win. “I would have liked it to be a bit more of a decisive win, but a win’s a win; we’ll take it.” The score was within three points at halftime, but the Mariners extended the margin to 18 at one point in the third quarter, finding success with their fast break. “We start smaller guys; we do like to fast break a lot, but you’ve got to get stops to fast break,” said Kuzminski. “It slowed down at the end because they were scoring on us all the time.” Camosun’s shooting accuracy from three-point range got the visitors right back in it, but VIU did enough to hold off the charge. Brandon Jones, VIU guard, said his team buckled down to earn the win.

“It shows you later on in the season that you can battle back if you’re down or if you’re not playing as good,” Jones said. “So I feel like the earlier we get a close game and battle [it] out, the better it will be for us in the long term.” Jones led VIU with 22 points, Tyler Olsen scored 12 and Jason McKee added 10. The women’s matchup saw a more convincing victory for the home team, as the VIU ladies gained firmer control as the game wore on. Bill McWhinnie, coach of the M’s women, said his team started out slow and jittery, but said the defence was solid over the final three quarters and said the offence picked up. “We started to attack a little more,” he said. “Camosun likes to press a little bit, get things kind of hectic … In the second half [players] started to really attack the basket and created opportunities for themselves and their teammates, which got us going.” McCarthy said the M’s definitely have work to do, but said overall they’re happy with the first game. She said teammates continue to learn how to play alongside one another. “We’re trying to find our balance now, with people in different positions,” she said. “I think it will be good in the long run, it will just be a process.” McCarthy scored 16 points and Worthington contributed 15. GAME ON … The Mariners are on the road Friday (Nov. 9) and Saturday for games against Douglas and Langara, respectively. Next home action for VIU’s hoops teams is Nov. 30. sports@nanaimobulletin.com

GREG SAKAKI/THE NEWS BULLETIN

VIU Mariners forward Tyler Olsen pushes his way to the rim against a Camosun Chargers opponent Friday at the Vancouver Island University gym. The home team held on for an 83-78 victory.

The Nanaimo Clippers played defensively sound hockey, stuck with it for their whole road trip, and had success. T h e c i t y ’s B . C . Hockey League team retur ns home after earning five out of six points at Interior Conference arenas this past weekend. The Clips fell 4-3 to the Vernon Vipers in double overtime on Friday, bested the Salmon Arm Silverbacks 2-1 in double OT the next day, then shut out the West Kelowna Warriors 2-0 on Sunday afternoon. “We’re getting kind of used to being in those tight games and being able to come through in those tight games,” said Mike Vandekamp, Clippers coach. In Sunday’s win the Clippers got to play most of the game with a lead after Reid Sturos’s short-handed marker 15 minutes into the first period. Kyle Kramer added some insurance, scoring on a wrist shot with 11 minutes left in the game. Jayson Argue made 37 saves for the shutout. Vandekamp said his team didn’t just hunker down and try to protect the lead; he said his squad continued to attack well. ◆ See ‘CLIPPERS’ /31

THE NEWS BULLETIN

The junior Nanaimo Timbermen decided after one season that they want to take a different direction on the lacrosse floor. The junior A club announced Monday that coach Dale Nicks and his staff have been fired. “We felt in order to get to where we want to go as an organization, as a team, we needed a new voice behind the bench to lead us forward,” said Jon Nicholson, T-men general manager. The club has already chosen Nicks’s replacement, but will not announce the new coach until Thursday, Nicholson said. Nicks, along with his assistant coaches Jamie Gilles and Brian Nikula, led Nanaimo’s B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League team to a 3-17-1 record, outside the playoffs. Nicks said he understands that lacrosse is a business, but said he wasn’t expecting to be replaced this off-season. “You often find when you bring in a new coaching staff into an organization that it

takes a couple years to turn things around and I was just hoping for that opportunity,” he said. Midway through the 2012 season, team management made a series of major trades without consulting the coaching staff. Nicks said he didn’t think the team had made up its mind to fire the coaches back then, and Nicholson also said that wasn’t the case. “I don’t think so at all,” said the GM. “We made this decision after the year and after we

reviewed everything – coaching, the players, management, everything.” Nicks said people should look back at the 2012 team and note how many rookies the T-men had on the floor every game, and consider also the impact of many key injuries. “I don’t think it’s a reflection on the coaching staff,” Nicks said. “I think Brian Nikula and Jamie Gilles did a wonderful job last year. I think we have to look at the season for what it was.” Before the campaign started, the team was talking about championship potential. Nicholson said he doesn’t think any unrealistic expectations were placed on the junior A Timbermen. “I really like that core group and I like the talent we have,” he said. “We definitely do need to add some pieces around that, but I think that group had the ability to get into the playoffs, so it was disappointing when we finished with only three wins.” Nicks has been asked if he’d like to stay on with the team as a defensive assistant coach, but hasn’t yet made up his mind.

Clippers keep up energy, even at end of long road trip ◆ From /29 “Our system certainly is one that requires energy and hard work and we didn’t change anything [Sunday],” said Mike Vandekamp. “We tried our best to come after them, even though it was

our third game in two and a half days.” Kyle Kramer scored in the first period Saturday in Salmon Arm, with Reid Sturos potting the game winner 11 seconds into double overtime. Jarrod Scha-

merhorn made 32 saves for the win. On Friday in Vernon, Luke Gordon and Greg Fraser scored before Josh Bryan’s point shot tied the game with three minutes left. Jayson Argue suffered

the loss in the crease. “It’s been a good stretch,” said the coach. “We’ve had opportunities at different times this year to maybe have that moment where we were able to take off, but we just haven’t. Maybe this

is finally the time. I guess we’ll find out.” GAME ON … The Clippers play host to the Cowichan Valley Capitals this Friday (Nov. 9) at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena. sports@nanaimobulletin.com TELUS STORE OR AUTHORIZED DEALER

District of Lantzville Remembering the people who fought to keep our freedom

In Honour of Dad Nanaimo Community Archives assistant Teri Smith with some of the pieces in the Leighton collection, which includes photographs, letters and war maps from nearly a century ago. NIOMI PEARSON THE NEWS BULLETIN

Leightons’ love preserved in archives Letters, documents show multiple perspectives of First World War BY NIOMI PEARSON THE NEWS BULLETIN

Hidden inside the fonds at the Nanaimo Community Archives are the last remaining possessions of Alice and Arthur Leighton. From the faded photographs to the handwritten letters and meticulously detailed battlefield maps, they tell the story of two lovers torn apart and brought back together during the First World War. Arthur was born in England on Jan. 5, 1880. His parents were school teachers and he was educated in Cambridge and Bristol. Eventually, Arthur immigrated to Canada, finding work as a farmhand in Manitoba. Alice, born Jan. 10, 1887, in Brittania, Ont., was the daughter of a prestigious farmer. They met shortly after 1904 when Arthur came to work on the Wright

Farm. Arthur had just returned from fighting in the Boer War in South Africa. He studied law at the University of Manitoba and was called to the bar in 1908, the same year he and Alice were wed in Ontario. It was in 1912 that Alice and Arthur Leighton came to Nanaimo. Arthur, who had been practising law in Minnedosa, Ont., became a senior partner of the Leighton, Meakin & Weir law firm. He became known in the community for his cricket playing abilities and, in addition to being a member of the Nanaimo Cricket Club, was on the B.C. all-star cricket team. Everything changed in 1915 when Arthur enlisted in 2nd Canadian Infantry Brigade as a commissioned lieutenant (and later promoted to captain). Soon after, Arthur and his men found themselves involved in trench warfare in France, and it wasn’t long before the ink began to flow. “My darling heart, I wonder where you are and what you are doing, somehow when one is traveling, time seems very long,” reads one letter, from Arthur to

Alice. “It seems like a week instead of only two days since I left you, and yet your sweet smiling face is as vivid in my mind as if I were still looking from the train at Vancouver. You are a brave little girl, dearie, and so are the others who are being left behind...” Alice’s reply came nearly a month later, dated April 25, 1916; “Dearie Heart, I have just got your dear letter and it is so sweet to have you talking to me again. I too can still see your face smiling at me till the train curved away and hid you. I think that beautiful shiny morning was sent specially so we could give you a happy send off and I think we were just as elated here and it kept us from being too lonesy [sic]…” Eager to bridge the distance between herself and her loved one, Alice booked passage aboard the S.S. New Amsterdam to England later in 1916. After a brief reunion with Arthur, she began work with the Ministry of Pensions, and later volunteered at St. Dunstan’s Hostel for Blind Soldiers and Sailors. ◆ See ‘COUPLE’ /5

On the cover

Orville Fisher’s paintings of the Second World War constitute one of the most complete records of Canada’s day-to-day role in that conflict. Perhaps his chief claim to fame is that he was the only Allied war artist to land in Normandy on D-Day, June 6, 1944. Attached to the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division, Fisher landed on Juno Beach at Courseulles-sur-Mer. The Germans had tipped the beach obstacles, used for cover by Canadian soldiers, with explosives to destroy landing craft and stop advancing tanks. In preparation for the D-Day invasion, he strapped tiny waterproof pads of paper to his

wrist. After racing up the beach from his landing craft, Fisher made rapid, on-the-spot sketches, using perfectly dry materials, of the battle unfolding around him. Later, the artist created larger watercolour paintings away from the battlefront. Unlike fellow war artist Charles Comfort’s reconstruction of the August 1942 Dieppe Raid that was created four years after the event in the peace and security of a studio, Fisher’s D-Day – The Assault was based on a real-life experience of action replete with all the turmoil and blood. In a 1964 interview, Fisher described landing in France on D-Day: “The

noise was unbearable, even off-shore. The big battle wagons, cruisers, destroyers and rocket ships were all throwing shells at the coast. The din was terrific. The coast was a neutral landscape – greys and khaki and dark browns when the khaki uniforms got wet. The only bright colors on the beach were the flags showing where each unit was to land ... The water was literally red with blood. It ebbed and flowed with the tide ... I

had a three-inch square water-color pack and a hand-sized sketch pad –with waterproof paper – that had a strap fitted over my palm. I used glycerin with water colors to make a fast series of sketches, like shorthand notes.” Fisher worked as a service artist with the Canadian Army beginning in February 1942, and a year later became an official war artist. He did not reenter civilian life until July 1946.

Canadians encouraged to contribute to national virtual war memorial The Royal Canadian Legion will build a Virtual Wall of Honour and Remembrance to honour all deceased veterans. The appearance of the Virtual Wall will coincide with the national Remembrance Day ceremony, organized by the legion on behalf of and for all Canadians. It will be displayed on the large video screens prior to the start of the actual ceremony on Sunday (Nov. 11), and those thereafter. As a way to honour their relatives and friends who have served their country, Canadians are invited to forward a photograph of the deceased veteran to Dominion Command along with his or her name, years of service, element or force to which the departed belonged or regiment/unit. Photos can be sent by mail to Domin-

It then continues along Front Street to return to Chapel Street. Royal Canadian Legion Branch 257 in Lantzville has a parade and service planned for 10:30 a.m., followed by lunch and celebration from noon to 8 p.m. A service for shut-ins at Berwick on the Lake is also planned, organized by the Korea Veterans of Nanaimo.

Couple chose Nanaimo to settle in after war

◆ From /3 The two would be together again for a brief period, when Arthur sustained a knee injury from a shell blast. However, they didn’t return home to Nanaimo until 1919, when they settled in Departure Bay. Arthur returned to his law practice and Alice became involved in many charitable societies. In 1922, Alice became the second woman in Nanaimo to be elected to the office of school trustee, beating out Mayor Busby and ex-alderman G.W. Ferguson. Arthur and Alice never had children, and passed away in August 1953, and July 1957, respectively. They are buried together in the Nanaimo Cemetery. Christine Meutzner, manager of the Nanaimo Archives, said the Leighton collection, which was pieced together from their Hammond Bay Road home after their deaths, is historically significant. “The Leighton collection is the most complete First World War collection we have, and it’s especially valuable because it includes his wife’s writings,” she said. “It’s the whole story from the husband/soldier’s perspective, the wife’s perspective, to what women did for volunteering work during the war.”

“It’s a very comprehensive collection, and it’s also very moving.” The collection contains several of Capt. Leighton’s battlefield maps of Europe, drawn in meticulous detail, giving viewers an eerie reminder of what yesterday’s soldiers had to endure. “What’s really cool about these maps is how ‘to scale’ they are when there was no aircraft yet, it’s all done by hand with no overhead visual to go by,” said archives assistant Teri Smith. Meutzner added that the collection, and others like it, help make the wars of our past relatable to today’s society. “We tend to think of it as something that happened so very far from here but it really didn’t, it affected people here,” she said. “The hopes, the aspirations, the expectations, the sadness – all of that hit home right here in Nanaimo. I think it’s easy to forget that.”

NIOMI PEARSON THE NEWS BULLETIN

Veteran recounts storied career As a soldier, Art Lefever served overseas and in Canadian campaigns BY NIOMI PEARSON THE NEWS BULLETIN

If being born on a moving train was any indication of the direction Art Lefever’s life would take, then it would be no stretch of the imagination to say he was on track for a fastpaced adventure. Spending just over 20 years with the Canadian Armed Forces, Lefever has served in locales across the globe, including Korea, Germany, Egypt and China. But it all began on a train headed from Red Lake to Temiscaming, Que., on May 7, 1935. Lefever’s mother was returning from a visit with her sister when she went into labour passing through

Worthington, and was moved to the caboose to give birth. Lefever is one of 18 children and grew up on the Kipawa reserve in Temiscaming. Once known as Joe Bean, he would later change his name. “Every time a child was born, if the priest was English, we were baptized as Bean, if we were taken to a French priest, it was Lefever, which was French for ‘the bean’,” Lefever said. Lefever left home at 16 and headed west to Swift Current, Sask., to work on the harvests. In 1952, he went looking for work in Winnipeg. “I joined the Armed Forces because there were no jobs,” he said. “When you’re 17 years old and full of piss and vinegar, you want to get into a fight. You didn’t care, you were looking for your three square meals a day and adventure.” Following basic training, Lefever was sent to North Korea in 1953. Shortly before disembarking, Lefever met up with his older brother Gerry, who had been wounded by shrapnel

in his left arm while serving on a special intelligence unit in South Korea, and was on his way home. Six months into patrols in Korea, Lefever was shipped off to China for six months, and then back to Korea for another half year of service. “There was an uprising between China and Formosa (Taiwan), and they had some observers that came to do peace talking and I went there as a guard/escort,” Lefever recalled. “They treated us well, we stayed at the quarters of the embassy. Anytime the VIPs went out, we went out as bodyguards.” The job, while providing the adventure many of the young men sought, was not to be taken lightly. “Every day was a risk – you never knew where a sniper would blow your head off,” he said. “If you’re walking through the bush, there they are hiding in the trees and the next thing you know – bang. “In the first couple of days, you get over that fear.” ◆ See ‘LEFEVER’S’ /7

Legion continues to serve members BY JENN M C GARRIGLE THE NEWS BULLETIN

The Royal Canadian Legion’s mission – to serve veterans and their families and promote remembrance – has not changed since it was formed in the 1920s. What has changed is the membership demographics. There is a shrinking number of veterans and the majority of members are no longer ex-military personnel, said Andrew Farrow, president of Branch 10 Legion in Harewood. “A good portion are just from the community at large, who support the mandate of the legion,” he said. About 10 per cent of the Harewood legion’s 500-or-so members are veterans, said Farrow, and the rest are either family members of veterans, who qualify for an associate membership, or affiliate members, which means they do not have a tie to the military themselves, but support it. He said the average age of members is 55-years-old, which is a concern from a succession standpoint, and the legion is always recruiting new members. “We’ve really tried to focus on community engagement and encouraging people to come in and have fun,” said Farrow. “We’re trying not to make it the legion of the old.” To that end, on top of organizing annual Remembrance Day activities and the poppy campaign, the Harewood legion hosts numerous social activities each week from meat draws, darts and pool tournaments to music and providing members a place to watch the game together.

Royal Canadian Legion Branch 257 president Roy Cardinal, centre, pins a poppy on Lantzville Mayor Jack de Jong, under the watchful eye of Ron Jones, Poppy Campaign chairman. The annual campaign raises money for programs and services.

Farrow said the legion is also on the hunt for new members who want to help out. “It’s a small percentage of the people doing the bulk of the work,” he said. Joseph Briand, president of Branch 256, estimates that about 65 per cent of the legion’s 450 members are veterans. Overall numbers are diminishing, he said. When Briand joined eight years ago, there were more than 600 members and at its peak Branch 256 had about 1,200 members.

“There’s not too many conflicts that Canada gets into,” he said. “A lot of our veterans have been dying off because they’re in their 80s and 90s now. Unless we have another major conflict, that’s the way it is.” Briand said the average age of members is around 65 and the legion looks for new members by advertising in the newspaper, amongst other things. Besides helping veterans, the legion also offers a place for them to socialize with one another, he added. reporter@nanaimobulletin.com

Lefever’s brothers also fought in war ◆ From /6 Although there are few stories Lefever will tell about his experiences overseas, he vividly recalls one time when he and his crew stumbled onto a Korean camp, which opened fire. Shortly after retreating, Lefever knew something wasn’t right when his radio stopped working. “I took my radio off and I could feel something running down my back – I had picked up a bullet in my back, but it was surface, it went through the radio and by the time it got to me, it just broke the skin and was sitting there,” he said. Following Korea, Lefever was posted to Victoria, B.C., then Egypt, and in 1956, he signed up to join Canadian troops occupying Germany. Other points in Lefever’s military

career include attending the Front de liberation du Quebec uprising, guarding the Dukabors in B.C., and fighting floods and fires in Norway. He retired from the armed forces in 1973, and spent the next 20 years as a civil engineer for the City of Calgary. Lefever and his wife moved to Nanaimo in 2003. Now 77, Lefever and brothers Gerry and Larry, who joined the armed forces in 1965, are featured on the Temiscaming Wall of Heroes. Lefever is also the president of the Korea Veterans Association of Canada – Nanaimo Branch and Sergeant at Arms for the Canadian Aboriginal Veterans association. Looking back, Lefever said he has no regrets.

“If I had to do it again, I would go to war for our country. It’s the thing to do,” he said. But like many of his fellow veterans, Lefever has had to cope over the years with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. “They trained us to kill, and for 21 years, every year I had to qualify how to kill a person,” he said. “And you wonder why some of these guys [today] get out and they’re shell shocked.” In his retirement, Lefever has been helping heal the wounds by advocating for fellow veterans and revisiting the sites he patrolled as a youth. He has returned to Korea and just last month, he spent a week in Germany and Holland. reporter3@nanaimobulletin.com

Museum settles at new base Vancouver Island Military Museum’s new location in downtown offers more space for displays, storage of artifacts BY CHRIS BUSH

THE NEWS BULLETIN

The Vancouver Island Military Museum will explore fresh ideas from its new base of operations in downtown Nanaimo. The museum, which operated in Nanaimo North Town

“We honour those who served and continue to serve our country and thank them for their sacrifices to preserve our precious freedoms.”

Centre since 1986, moved into the old Nanaimo District Museum site, the Centennial Building in Piper Park at 100 Cameron Rd. in February and opened its doors to the public Sept. 30. The move bumped the museum’s exhibition space to more 5,000 square feet from 3,500 square feet, giving it more space for new and different kinds of exhibits plus better graphics and illustrations. “Prior to moving here, most of the stuff that we’d get we just collected the stuff, but we didn’t have the room to properly display it,” said Brian McFadden, museum vice-president. “With this layout here, we were able to get better graphics, which we couldn’t before. So we spent a lot of time and effort on getting good illustrations.” ◆ See ‘MUSEUM’S’ /9

Museum’s goal to show range of possible human endeavour ◆ From /8 Strong photographs and illustrations hook the visitor’s interest into reading background text accompanying exhibits. “Then you can do a good explanation, ‘This is what it looked like. This is what happened,’ and we couldn’t do that before,” McFadden said. The museum will always be a work in progress, but initially staff want to increase traffic through the doors. Tourists arriving aboard cruise ships found their way to the new site through the summer, with American military veterans taking a keen interest and dropping cash in the donation jar, prompted in part by the free admission for military veterans and active service members. Museum staff and volunteers also want to link more connections with the community and reach out to Nanaimo schools to help educate students about Canada’s military history. Local clubs and organizations are reaching out to the museum with requests for visits and offers of sponsorship. “One of the things we’d like to do is get groups from different organizations to come here and do group tours, more to involve the local community and also become more heavily involved with the economic development and tourism,” McFadden said. “We didn’t do that before because we weren’t really a destination. We were in the mall and it wasn’t convenient. “What we find now is more people are coming and looking for us because

“

This is not a war museum, is one of the first things I tell people when they come to a tour. they’ve heard about us.” For the 2013 tourist season, staff plan to seriously beef up public awareness of the museum’s location. New exhibits include models and graphics of Japanese aircraft, a section honouring contributions by First Nations troops, Hong Kong during the Second World War and a home front exhibit featuring St. John Ambulance, the Red Cross, the Canadian Rangers, RCMP and North West Mounted Police. McFadden said the museum has to be careful about creating exhibits featuring images and artifacts of Canada’s past and present foes. Sentiments can run strong, but staff also have to be mindful of the museum’s role and purpose. “This is not a war museum, is one of the first things I tell people when they come to a tour,” McFadden said. “We don’t glorify war here. What we try to do is show an extraordinary range of human endeavor.”

Historica-Dominion Institute’s Memory Project records personal, military stories BY RACHEL STERN THE NEWS BULLETIN

Sheridan “Pat” Patterson’s infantry troop withdrew from Chai-li hill towing wounded soldiers on the back deck. The operation, during the Korean War, hinged on taking the Kakhulbong hill outside of town, but there was too much opposition. With the battle for the hill unsuccessful the Royal Canadian Regiment moved near the Ch’orwan Reservoir, sending out regular long-range patrols. However, during one patrol Patterson’s troop hit a mine. “Mines were the worst thing. It was up there (near the reservoir) that we hit a mine. We didn’t know what had happened, the terrible explosion, we all bailed out on the ground,” said Patterson in his Memory Project interview. “Most of us were bleeding at the ears. The centre suspension on our tank had landed

The AV, armored recovery vehicle, came up threw out a section of track and said ‘fix this thing.’ We fixed the track but the explosion had warped the hull and we couldn’t traverse the turret anymore, so it was gone.” Patterson’s story was one of eight recorded last November when the Memory Project visited the city. The project is an initiative by the Historica-Dominion Institute, a charitable

organization that formed in 2009 when the Historica Foundation of Canada and Dominion Institute merged. The Memory Project is a nationwide oral history project that allows veterans to tell their stories first hand and have them recorded so others can listen to their tales. Eight veterans were interviewed in Nanaimo when Memory Project staff visited the city. The interviewees included: Bob Ducharme, Mona Johnson, Eileen Little, William Parker, Sheridan “ Pat” Patterson, Georgina Rosewall, Bill Ryan and Herbert Stickley. People can read or listen to the veteran’s personal accounts, such as Patterson’s, at www.thememory project.com.

To honour them is to remember them. To remember them is to honour them. Whether they served in distant lands or here at home, during the epic battles of last century or the strained conflicts of the last few years, we all owe these Canadians a debt of gratitude now and in the future.

Also important is the need to guard wisely against allowing history to repeat, while helping our young people to understand and to remember what these men and women have done during times of war, military conflict and peace.

Quality Foods joins the nation in recognizing the sacrifices and achievements of those who have served in the cause of peace and freedom around the world over the years for the benefit all Canadians.

Remembrance helps us understand the country we live in today and how we can build a better future together.

We offer apologies to those who are inconvenienced by our stores closing, and hope that our decision is in line with the Royal Canadian Legion’s message to “Take time to remember”.

All Quality Foods Stores will be closed Sunday, November 11, 2012. At the 11th hour of each November 11th, Canadians across the nation pause for two minutes of silent remembrance for those who served our country, and still serve today.

“For the Fallen” They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them. www.qualityfoods.com
