Don’t be clothes-minded about this beach LORI WELBOURNE
A Brighter Note
I
’ve lived in the Central Okanagan for 15 years and despite having some naturist friends, I never knew there was a clothingoptional beach called Three Mile in Penticton until last year when a group of it’s nearby property owners objected, and their debate in front of city council was covered in the media. The naturists have now formed the Three Mile Naturist Beach Committee to defend their right as taxpayers to continue enjoying the secluded area unclothed. The north end of this beach has been utilized by naturists since at least 1926, but I was unaware of it since I had no desire
to seek it out. If my dad lived here, he probably would have known because he was what we called a nudist back in the day. My father is one of those people who truly loved being in harmony with nature without the social and psychological restraints of clothing. His respect of the human body as it was created extended to him teaching us to feel comfortable with our bodies, free from the unhealthy pressures of what we should and shouldn’t look like. He would skinny dip in our pool, hang out in the buff, and sometimes he’d take my brother, mother and me to the clothing-optional Wreck Beach in Vancouver. My little brother and I chose to keep our bathing suits on, but our parents didn’t.
Seeing them was no big deal, but looking at the naked bodies of strangers had Jeremie and I giggling at first. That reaction wore off quickly though, and we delighted in the sun and sand like
everyone else. It was the mid ‘70s then, a time that reminds Judy Williams, the prominent long-time chair of the Wreck Beach Preservation Society, of the recent
Huu-ay-aht First Nations is a self-governing First Nation implementing the Maa-Nulth Treaty since April, 2011. Our government offices in Anacla and Port Alberni deliver services to Huu-ay-aht living on Treaty Settlement Lands (TSL) and living away from home. The Maa-nulth Treaty means many things for the Nation. Whether it be in the realm of culture, politics or business, we are seeking to build relationships – cooperating with communities, organizations and companies on common goals and collaborative efforts. We believe in the concept of hishuk tsa’walk (“everything is one”) - the concept that everything is connected. We stand ready to work towards our own success and a bright future. With our own Constitution and laws that reflect our own values, the Huu-ay-aht First Nations is equipped to take the steps to build a politically, socially and economically successful community.
Huu-ay-aht First Nations Values
Professionalism | Respect | Health | Effective Communication | Trust & Support
The treaty has brought the opportunity for growth and expansion in our Anacla and Port Alberni government offices, and we are searching for four individuals to add to our team of dedicated staff in this new era of ownership and self-government.

uproar over Three Mile. “This small cadre of resident complaints are reminiscent of the evangelical minister, Bernice Gerard, and supporters who tried to shame naturists off Wreck in 1976,” she explains. “Instead they catapulted it to international fame.” Now known as North America’s largest naturist oceanfront attracting visitors from over 150 countries, she said it generated over $135 million in tourist revenue in 2014 alone. “Those objecting to the naturists at Three Mile have said that public nudity is ‘morally reprehensible’,” Judy said. “Yet they ignore not only Canadian case law (Beaupre and Benolkin), but also Paul M. Bowman’s defence of social public nudity in his book Nakedness and the Bible. Pope John Paul II expressed his belief that the naked human body was beautiful because God created it, and that prurience was only in the eyes of the beholder.” Judy also pointed
out that naturists keep Three Mile clean and safe by self-policing and abiding to a code of etiquette. People are not permitted to mock sunbathers or gawk at them, and if anyone wants to take a picture they must ask first. “But children are off limits, period,” she said. The use of headphones is highly encouraged so the beach remains comfortable and relaxing for everyone, and there are several rules that are enforced. “Concerns about attracting sexual predators and pedophiles have been raised,” Judy said. “Unfortunately those people can exist anywhere in society. On a clothing-optional beach people tend to really look out for each other and show more respect. Rude, lewd and illegal behaviour of any kind isn’t tolerated.” A lot of people have the perception that naturists are exhibitionists and nude beaches are sexual, but in my experience the skimpy bikinis and people strutting their stuff

seen on many regular beaches elicit more eroticism and ogling than the boring quietness I witnessed at Wreck. My naturist friends and Judy confirm that it’s still boring and quiet at any typical clothing-optional beach, and they highly recommend it as a wholesome and incredibly safe environment for families to spend time together. Obviously, though, it’s not for everyone. “At Three Mile one must really go out of their way to be offended,” Judy said. She thinks a sign informing the public that it’s clothingoptional is all that’s required to keep people from seeing anything they don’t want to. “The people in the vicinity who are objecting think their property values will go down,” Judy said. “Quite the contrary. Naturism is a billiondollar-a-year industry world-wide, and people like myself will specifically travel to clothing-optional beaches abroad because we don’t go to textile beaches.” And it has absolutely nothing to do with being an exhibitionist. “I’m 71, I’m overweight by societal standards and I have cellulite,” she said. “I don’t care. My body is my ‘temple’ on this Earth, and the way it looks doesn’t define who I am as a person.” If that doesn’t sound like someone with a healthy, evolved attitude about their body, I don’t know what does.

Mirissa Burrows from Arrowsmith 4–H bonds with Cheech, a chinchilla owned by Jen Banfield, Saturday at the Easter Bunny Express at Glenwood Centre. Hundreds of children got up close and personal with animals from Arrowsmith and Clover Patch 4–h groups, played games, planted flowers and created Easter crafts at the event, sponsored by the Port Alberni Toy Run.
Silence of the Labs is a take-off on the name of a rather horrific film, and it seems an apt metaphor for what has been happening to public science in Canada over the last decade, says an AV Transition Town spokesperson.

Democracy, The Port Alberni Chapter of Council of Canadians and The Valley and Beyond in an effort to bring forward the concerns of citizens. The screening will be held at Char’s Landing, 4815 Argyle St., Port Alberni, on Wednesday, April 8 at 7 p.m. Admission is free and the event is open to the public.
◆ COVER STORY
Motelier brings Alberni to Korea Talk to Canadians about Asian culture and both Japan and China immediately come to mind. A lesser known country is Korea. Ask someone in South Korea about Canadian culture, however, and they will tell you a lot. “For Korea, Canada is a well-known country, says Paul Hwang, who owns the Sunset Motel on Redford Street in Port Alberni. There are 50 million people living in South Korea, and although it is a small country its economy is the 15th most powerful in the world. Hwang is doing his part to spread the word about Port Alberni from the heart of the city. Hwang immigrated to Calgary and then Medicine Hat, Alta. in the summer of 2006, where a friend owned a motel. “I stayed and looked for a motel business,” Hwang said. “2006 was a bad year for someone like me to look for a business. Everything was booming. “My friend and his wife said when they make money and
when they get older they want to move to either Vancouver or Vancouver Island, because they think it’s a nice place to live. So myself and my wife discussed why do we have to stay here (in Alberta) and move later; we might go now and see...if it’s a good place to live.” They drove from Medicine Hat to Victoria, where his wife’s friend owned a motel. “We stayed for a month and looked for a motel for sale. There weren’t many for sale at the time; there was one in Port Alberni.” Their friends asked, how could they survive in a community with no ethnic grocery store or Korean community. Hwang said they worried about it, but “came here and decided to purchase the motel.” Hwang’s background is in engineering. He worked in the
shipbuilding industry and then with Lego, which built a factory near his home in Bundang, 30 or 40 minutes south of Seoul. When he was younger, he worked for two years at the Korean embassy in Washington, DC as an attaché. He decided to buy a motel because an immigration specialist recommended it. “When I started the procedure in Korea to immigrate I was 55 years old. They thought it would be a good idea to do a motel or mobile home park or an RV park,” he said. Hwang’s is not the only Korean family living in Port Alberni, he says. Since he arrived there are more than 20 people living here who immigrated from Korea. “Twenty years ago there were two towns in Canada where no Koreans were living, and Port Alberni was
one of them,” Hwang said. Now, Hwang is getting the word out to other people in his homeland that Port Alberni is a great place to both visit and do business. In October 2013 Hwang hosted a Korean film crew filming for a nature program. Their arrival was quite by chance: an acquaintance in Tofino who owns a motel needed a place for the film crew to stay for one night on their way back to Vancouver. “They were here at 11 p.m. and didn’t care about Port Alberni, they were just going to stay the night.” He told them Port Alberni I talked to them and focused on Tofino is a nice place to see but Port Alberni is also something to see.” The film crew departed the next
morning, but called two days later asking to come back and film around Port Alberni. Hwang continues to tell visitors and friends alike about
the virtues of Port Alberni. He said he would like to see the Seven Wonder of Port Alberni updated, and more First Nations culture.
“This is a good time to think about how to lure or get more people to town. To show salmon and bears is not enough.” editor@albernivalleynews.com
