Chief retires after 35 years of service

TOM WHIPPS helmed Lantzville Fire for 14 years.
BY TAMARA CUNNINGHAM THE NEWS BULLETIN
He’s credited with bringing Lantzville Fire into the 21st century, escaped the razor when his beard was grandfathered into the fire service’s safety regulations and he’s known for community service, whether its fighting fires or roasting hotdogs for kids. Tom Whipps, 67, is Lantz-
ville’s last volunteer fire chief, set to retire this month after 35 years with the department and 14 at its helm. He made the announcement earlier this year, prompting a review of the fire service and the hiring of the community’s first paid, part-time fire chief. Politicians will also make a decision on the level of service they want the department to provide, in the wake of new provincial training standards. Whipps, dressed in neat blue slacks and a white shirt decorated with insig-
nia, leans back in his office chair, looking a far cry from the picture painted by one of his colleagues who likened him to TV character Red Green for his past habit of turning up at the station in plaid shirts, cut-off jeans and steel-toed black shoes. His uniform has changed, along with the department as he led it into the 21st century. Now Whipps is ready to take a back seat. Life is too short, he said, and he’d rather leave the headaches of the chief job to someone else and get back to the grunt work, like helping
the department preserve its history. That is, of course, as long as he gets to keep his beard, he said, flashing a quick smile. He’s had it since the day he became a volunteer in 1980. The fire chief had been trying to get him to join for around two years, with no luck. The trick was getting him mad enough to say yes. He was driving his motorbike behind a Lantzville fire truck one night, when a hydrant wrench flew off the back and ricocheted toward him. See ‘HARD’ /4

The tallies aren’t in yet, but Nanaimo merchants are reporting business was brisk through the Christmas season. Major retailers and independent store owners say customer and sales numbers show steady growth, but not the big surge in numbers merchants saw in 2013 when the economy emerged from the last recession. “We did well. We keep seeing growth, which is good,” said Stephane Pilon, Canadian Tire Nanaimo general store manager. Pilon won’t speak in terms of specific sales or revenue numbers, but did say B.C.’s Canadian Tire stores are leading the rest of the country. “Nationally, Canadian Tire in British Columbia has done the best in the country … you could certainly infer and perhaps say that maybe the U.S. dollar is keeping some Canadians here,” Pilon said. Joel Sked, Tom Lee Music store manager, said sales were strong despite ongoing renovation construction at the retail complex where the store is located in Dickinson Crossing. “We did notice probably more late-season shoppers this year,” Sked said. “The amount of business was quite good, but the first two weeks of the month was quite slow and then there was a huge rush, so I think we had a lot of last-minute shoppers this year.” Technology-based music products were high on Christmas shopping lists. “Definitely the whole computer-music thing is up and running more than ever … lots of stuff that connects to people’s phones,” Sked said. He said regardless of economic conditions, there are always musicians wanting musicrelated items at Christmas and there is no shortage of musicians on the Island. Heather Wetmore, store manager of Flying Fish in downtown Nanaimo, said that on Tuesday, there were customers lined up at the cash register for most of the day. She said Christmas season sales are near 2014 levels, which were about 20-per cent higher that those for 2013. See ‘STRONG’ /5

City submits plan for middle dam
I
city scene
Police nab theft suspects Five suspects were arrested following a break and enter at a home in central Nanaimo early Tuesday. Mounties were called to a residence on Hallen Avenue when a neighbour spotted two people loading furniture into a moving van at about 2:45 a.m. Police arrived to find evidence of a break and enter, items missing and the van gone. Investigators searched the area and found a van matching a description of the suspect vehicle a short time later in an alley off of Bowen Road with three suspects inside and property alleged stolen from the Hallen Avenue home. The investigation lead to searches of a hotel room and a residence in central Nanaimo, that turned up thousands of dollars worth of suspected stolen property at both locations, which included boxes, tools, bags and paintings that were linked to several break and enters reported to the RCMP in December. A total of five suspects were arrested. Two were held in custody to appear in Nanaimo provincial court Monday (Jan. 4). Two other suspects will appear in court at a later date and one suspect was released without charges. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-847, text 274637, keyword Nanaimo or submit tips online at www. nanaimocrimestoppers. com.
HopES No physical work needed.
The city will spend the next year figuring out a solution for the middle dam at Colliery Dam Park, with hopes there will be no need for physical improvements at all, according to Toby Seward, acting senior director of strategic operations. The City of Nanaimo and Golder Associates proposed a plan to assess safety hazards for the middle dam this month in an attempt to satisfy an order from the B.C.
Comptroller of Water Rights. The comptroller slapped the city with a formal order for the dams earlier this year, with tasks and deadlines for work on two concrete structures at the park. The city has since kick-started construction on an auxiliary spillway for the lower dam, with a six-month extension to complete the remediation. The city and Golder Associates pitched a five-step process Dec. 23 to meet a requirement for a revised conceptual plan for the middle dam, due at the end
of the year, and are now waiting for a reply. Seward said the city and engineers told the B.C. Dam Safety Section the best approach was to deal with the lower dam first and mitigate problems with the construction of the auxiliary spillway, with the hope it would be sufficient to get the city to a point where it wouldn’t have to make improvements to the middle dam. The analysis is to confirm with engineering studies there isn’t a severe safety risk, he said, adding that the goal

is to get to a place where it’s monitored with an emergency plan instead of doing physical improvements. The approach for the middle dam includes risk assessment and coming up with remediation options. If approved, the majority of work would be carried out within the first six months of the year, a letter from Golder Associates shows.

a grassy bank. They could have drowned. “It still chokes me up to think somebody came that close,” he said. As fire chief, he addressed WorkSafe issues like hall ventilation and bought a fill station to improve safety for firefighters filling up air cylinders. He oversaw the district’s first fire inspections, pur chased new fire trucks and worked to create identity for the department beyond T-shirts. Uniforms made them look good and professional, no longer these ragtags, said Whipps, who’s proud of his volunteers. Firefighters Ken Spence, Lieut. Steve Page and deputy fire chief John Marment, see Whipps as a strong leader, who earns respect by showing it, gets the best out of everyone and encourages community service. He’s taken on the collection of jackets for the homeless, donations for holiday hampers and calendar sales to raise money for fire education. “He’s going to be a hard act to follow,” Marment said.

Whipps took it to the fire hall. “I got off my bike with it and waved it under the nose of the chief – ‘can’t you keep these things on the truck? The damn thing almost killed me.’ “He just looked at me and said, ‘Apparently not. Maybe you should join and see if you can do a better job of it.’ So I did.” By 2001, Whipps climbed the ranks to chief. It was the same year he earned a medal of merit from the Lifesaving Society in B.C. for his off-duty rescue of a five-year-old girl and a woman from the gushing waters of an open culvert. He can still remember the little girl chanting ‘thank you’ over and over after he lifted her out of the water and set her on

It’s one thing to buy a “knock off” Coach, Prada, or Louis Vuitton purse but with cosmetics that you apply to the skin, they can be absorbed into the body. Another consideration is that with counterfeit products they will not be manufactured under sterile conditions. Tests on “fake” perfumes have actually proven to sometimes contain urine. There is no incentive for a counterfeiter to test for contaminants as they are not concerned about brand loyalty; they only want the product to look good enough that the customer will purchase it. For anything that is going to be consumed internally or applied to your body, shop at reputable stores carrying products that are backed by the manufacturers.

EDITORIAL
Be prepared for big quake Some of us were shaken awake by the earthquake last week. For all of us, it should be a wake-up call. The earthquake near Saanich last Tuesday, estimated somewhere between 4.3 and 4.8 magnitude, wasn’t the big one that we’ve been warned about, but it was the biggest one many of us have ever experienced, and about the biggest one we’d want to experience. The Richter scale goes from ‘interesting’ to ‘problematic’ to ‘devastating’ pretty quickly. This time, we didn’t have to dive underneath sturdy furniture and hold on tightly. Next time, we might. Many of us who live along the Pacific Ocean’s Ring of Fire faultlines know that we should have an earthquake preparedness kit ready and waiting in case of an emergency. Yet many of us just figure we’ll get around to it at some point in the future, long before an earthquake actually happens, and somehow fail to see the flaw in our reasoning. So we hope that last week’s actual, tangible, physical shaking sensation was enough to motivate people toward earthquake preparedness. We probably have most of the necessities we need in a survival kit already, in our homes – items like flashlights, medicine, first-aid supplies and warm clothing. So really, putting together an earthquake survival kit mostly just means setting aside lots of water, plenty of non-perishable food (including pet food) and some cash. Living on an Island, a week’s worth of rations are recommended. It’s a new year, and since we can’t predict what the new year will bring, then we might as well try to be ready for anything. Last week’s little tremor was the great Vancouver Island quake of 2015, for lack of competition. And now that we’ve survived it, let’s turn our attentions to surviving the next one.

waste. Canada’s total emissions, in comparison, are about 0.7 gigatonnes. If food waste were a nation, it would be the world’s third-largest emitter. We need to tackle food waste at all levels, from international campaigns to individual consumption habits. In September, the UN agreed to an ambitious global goal of reducing food waste by 50 per cent by 2030 as both an environmental and humanitarian imperative. Earlier this year, Metro Vancouver joined the international effort Love Food Hate Waste to meet municipal waste goals and encourage individual behavioural change. A similar U.K. campaign led to a 21-per cent cut in food waste over five years. Grocery stores in France and other countries are offering discounts for misshapen produce under an “ugly fruits and vegetables” campaign. Businesses are using audits to map out where food waste is affecting bottom lines. Food waste is a crime against the planet and the life it supports. Reducing it not only addresses food insecurity, it benefits everyone. Respect ecosystems, growers and harvesters by buying only what you will eat and eating all that you buy.

To the Editor,
Re: City should await results of core review, Dec. 29. Acting city manager Tracy Samra is getting negative press for doing the work she was hired to do. What is the problem, is she to sit and do nothing for six months and collect a pay cheque? She attended all staff/city meetings. Assessing what needed be done she acted

upon those decisions with the approval of mayor and council. She gets rude, bullying treatment from some
council members. She is well-educated and qualified for the job. We needed someone on short notice. The
core review process is now shortened and less costly. It is apparent who on council are the problem, speaking to others with no respect is not acceptable. We as taxpayers want action now. Let Samra do the job she was hired to do. We need fresh ideas to save us money. Previously we had waste and cost overruns.

To the Editor,
It was great to hear there are so many supporters for the proposed $5.1-million Nanaimo Boathouse and Paddling Centre. With all these very successful organizations and individuals involved, there is definitely no need for any taxpayer/city help. Hats off to the mayor for specifying paddlers have good income and good disposable income. It is indeed therefore a no-brainer that

much private funding and donations could be assembled without giveaways from cashstrapped taxpayers. Proponents could not even say how much tax money would be needed yearly to cover operating costs – nonchalantly suggesting the public monies needed (whatever they may be) could simply be rubber-stamped down the road.

Global warming trend could actually be slowing down Wed., Jan 6th To the Editor,
Re: Climate discussion needs dose of reality, Letters, Dec. 29. The letter writer’s reference and criticism to writings by Tom Fletcher on this subject is totally off-base. Fletcher’s writings and viewpoints are frank, logical and factual as well as fair and unbiased. There is much hype and erroneous information floating about regarding climate change. Unfortunately, much of the so-called ‘science,’ predicting dire consequences for all of us, is not based on proven, credible, scientific evidence and those researchers who have different opinions, founded on accurate scientific findings and research, are quite often prevented from speaking out. For example, we were told for years by the ‘experts’
that our climate is warming at an alarming pace due to carbon dioxide buildup in our atmosphere – all of it caused by human activities. More accurate and credible research is showing that the warming trend has actually slowed; no significant increase in global temperature has been noted for the last 18 years. The increase in carbon dioxide buildup during the last century has occurred as a result of varying amounts of solar energy. The slight increase in heat energy emanating from the sun and warming our planet has promoted a prolific growth of micro-organisms in the oceans which in turn have generated increased amounts of carbon dioxide, added to our atmosphere, as a result. Man’s contribution to increased carbon dioxide levels present in our atmo-
sphere is actually less than one per cent during the last 50 years. We should continue to question the science regarding climate change and its implications for all of us. I’m inclined to disbelieve the official climate science propaganda, offered by the ‘experts’ unless the facts regarding it are backed by proven science only, nothing else.
Arthur Ooms Saanich
To the Editor,
Re: World leaders, environmentalists full of CO2, Opinion, Dec. 3. The idea that the Earth isn’t warming is based on a myth constantly touted by climate change denialists. The idea that we are in the middle of a hiatus has always been considered wrong for the most part, and was in fact definitively
shown to be wrong within the past year in a study published in the journal Science. Temperatures have continued to increase over the last 15-20 years. In fact, the last 15 years have shown increases on average that are slightly more than the half century prior. No it’s still not very fast, but it is constant. There is no climate change debate anymore. None. People picking at loose strings in hopes of unravelling some great conspiracy aren’t going to get anyone anywhere at this point. There is no conspiracy, we know it’s happening, and continuing to deny it at this point not only serves to hurt ourselves, but also our children, grandchildren, and our hopes of continued civilization.

New Year’s resolutions provide a perfect opportunity to set positive goals for the year to come. Old habits can be hard to break, which can make it difficult for men and women to stay committed to their New Year’s resolutions. But a new year marks a new chapter, and the following are some ways you can ensure this year’s resolutions don’t go unresolved. • Be specific. A resolution that’s too general may ultimately prove ineffective. For example, if you resolve to lose weight this year, you probably hope to lose a substantial amount of weight
over the next 12 months, as opposed to just one or two pounds. If you set specific and periodic goals, such as lose one to two pounds by the end of January, as part of your resolution, then you are building in some measuring sticks along the way, and meeting those measuring sticks can motivate you to stay on course and realize your resolution by year’s end. • Don’t go overboard. If you traditionally find resolutions hard to live up to, then stick to a single resolution this year. This allows you to focus your efforts more effectively and ensures you Continued on page 21

won’t be overburdened, which could negatively impact your ability to realize your resolutions. • Use technology. Saving more money is a popular New Year’s resolution, and now men and women looking to save more can employ technology to help them realize their financial goals. If your goal for the coming year is to save ‘X’ amount of dollars, sit down and calculate how much you need to save each pay period to realize that goal. You can then have that figure automatically de-
posited into an interest-bearing savings account each time your paycheck is deposited into your account. • Enlist a friend. If your New Year’s resolution is one that others can apply to their own lives, then by all means enlist a friend. For example, men and women who want to find more time to exercise in the coming year can enlist a friend or family member to exercise with them. The buddy system is a great motivating tool, and enlisting the help of a friend or family member provides the added benefit of seeing that loved one more
often in the year ahead. • Don’t let setbacks derail your resolution. Resolutions too often fall by the wayside when men and women experience setbacks directly related to their resolutions. If you resolved to save more money but had a month when that simply was not possible, don’t allow that to derail your resolution for the rest of the year. Setbacks are nearly inevitable, but they’re never an excuse to give up on a resolution.

Bucs come close versus league’s best I JUNIOR B team falls 3-2 against Cougars to begin 2016. BY GREG SAKAKI The News BulleTiN
GREG SAKAKI/ThE NEwS BullETIN
Nanaimo Buccaneers players Nick Gomerich, left, and Chandler Bruyckere defend as Victoria Cougars opponent Dom Kolbeins takes a shot on Bucs goaltender Alex Orth during the second period of Sunday night’s Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League game at the Nanaimo Ice Centre. The visitors held on for a 3-2 victory.
“I think everyone on our team competed; nobody gave up; we stuck together,” Lemmon said. Final shots were 32-27 for the visitors, with Alex Orth suffering the loss and former Bucs goalie Greg Maggio earning the win. Lemmon said hard-fought hockey is going to become the norm for the stretch run. “Every team’s obviously stepping up and gearing toward playoffs…” he said. “The games are only going to get tougher from here on out.”

The Nanaimo Buccaneers are positioned for a playoff berth, and so they want to make sure their roster is playoff-ready. The Bucs anticipate movement by the Jan. 10 trade deadline. Dan lemmon, the team’s general manager, has two roster cards and intends to use them. “we’ve got a couple things on the go; we’re just kind of waiting to hear,” he said. he’s happy with Nanaimo’s goaltending but will look into acquiring the “best available” forwards and defencemen.

The Nanaimo Clippers haven’t had a happy new year so far. The B.C. Hockey League team dropped both halves of back-to-back contests on the road against the Powell River Kings on Saturday and Sunday, losing 3-1 and then 8-4. The second game was as wild as the score indicated, with plenty of rough stuff to go along with all the goals. Sheldon Rempal scored a pair to boost his leaguebest total to 42, while Troy MacTavish and Chris Dodero also tallied. Shots were 42-31 in favour of the Kings, with Evan Johnson suffering the loss for the Clips. The day before it was Nanaimo with the shotson-goal advantage, 38-23. Johnson tended goal in that one, too, and Edwin Hookenson scored the only goal for the Shipmen. The Clippers resumed their BCHL schedule last Wednesday with a road game against the Cowichan Valley Capitals, a 5-2 victory. Rempal paced the Clippers with two goals and Devin Brosseau, Yanni Kaldis and Corey Renwick were other scorers. Johnson made 28 saves for the win as Nanaimo outshot Cowichan 35-31. GAME ON … The Clippers host the Alberni Valley Bulldogs on Wednesday (Jan. 6) at 7 p.m. at Frank Crane Arena, and will then get another crack at the Kings on Saturday, also a 7 p.m. start at Frank Crane.

He thinks the Bucs will be right in the mix as they’re establishing a hard-working, two-way, physical brand of hockey. “Learning is always happening, but I think the significant spike in learning happens before Christmas, and now you’re trying to polish what you’ve built,” he said. GAME ON … The Buccaneers host the Comox Valley Glacier Kings on Thursday (Jan. 7) at 7:15 p.m. at the NIC, then visit the Oceanside Generals on Saturday.

The Buccaneers started 2016 playing high-level hockey, but weren’t able to win. The Bucs were edged 3-2 by the Victoria Cougars on Sunday night at the Nanaimo Ice Centre as the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League’s regular season resumed. Dan Lemmon, coach of the Buccaneers, said the game, despite the loss, was “one of our best efforts” of the season against a first-place opponent. “They’re built to win this year and I think we proved that we’re right with them,” he said. The Cougs have won 18 straight, many of those by blowout, shutout scores, and they brought their fast pace into the new year. “They caught us by surprise in the first period; they were flying out there, and it kind of made us up our work ethic, which I thought we did a great job of,” Lemmon said. The Bucs tied the game at 2-2 early in the second period on two quick goals from Trent Bell. Nanaimo thought it scored a go-ahead marker late in the frame, but the goal was waved off as offside. On the very next shift, Victoria scored on a play that was called goaltender interference, yet the goal was allowed to stand. The Bucs were outplayed in the third until they pulled their goalie late and generated a handful of chances with the extra attacker.
