Dorothy Baert’s death shocks West Coast ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Shocking and tragic news tucked a blanket of sorrow across the West Coast last week as Tofino’s district office announced longtime municipal councillor and stalwart community champion Dorothy Baert had died on Wednesday, July 17. “I find it very hard to say goodbye to Dorothy,” Tofino resident Eileen Floody told the Westerly News. “She was not only a friend, but also a wonderful supporter of so many causes we both care about. Losing her so suddenly has left a hole in my heart. I can only fill it again by trying to live up to her example of community service.” Baert, who was born in 1950, opened Tofino Sea Kayaking in 1988 alongside Tom Stere. Stere told the Westerly News the two met at a kayak shop on Granville Island, where Baert was living at the time, and she told him of her plans to start up a kayaking company in Tofino, a town he had already fallen in love with and was visiting frequently. “Dorothy took a chance on a 21-year-old kid just fresh out of school,” Stere recalled. “She took a chance and we started the company from scratch.” He said he developed a “deep, deep, love and respect” for Baert as they navigated the ups and downs of business on the West Coast, which had not yet become the thriving tourism magnet it is today.

Sailors ‘re-framing the face of adventure’ NORA O’MALLEY nora.omalley@westerlynews.ca

Australians Daniel Greenwood and Mathilde Gordon are circumnavigating Vancouver Island in a 27-foot Catalina to raise awareness about the impacts of marine debris. The novice sailors departed Nanaimo on May 25. Last week, they cruised into the Ucluelet Harbour sharing tales of triumph and horror. “Clearing the Nahwitta Bar was a peace of cake,” said Greenwood, 28, of one of the most treacherous bodies of water located at the northern tip Vancouver Island. Rounding Cape Scott, on the other hand, was a nightmare. “It was the scariest moment of my life,” said Gordon, 24. With large waves and strong winds, the team said their boat went vertical. “It was 30-minutes of very terrifying conditions,” said Greenwood. The harrowing experience taught the adventurists the real meaning of “ship shape”, they told the Westerly from their sailboat called ‘Sea lion’. Before setting sail for their epic two and a half month tour around Vancouver Island, Greenwood and Gordon launched the Seize Change Project, with the goal of exploring single-use plastic free, doing small scale clean ups, and partnering with like-minded organizations en route. Gordon, who sea kayaked

Daniel Greenwood and Mathilde Gordon fly the flag ‘Seize Change’ at Ucluelet’s Otter Street dock last week. 2,042 kilometres from Alaska to Canada last summer carrying the same ethos, has been living single-use plastic free for three years. She said when it comes to plastic pollution, people need to stop blaming and recognize that we are all part of the problem. “Our oceans are all interconnected and unless you’re still holding your Styrofoam cup that you got your coffee or the water bottle that you drank out of the other day, you can’t tell me that what I’m finding on the beach isn’t from you,” she said. “To solve this, and it is something that we need to do now, it’s not about a few people doing zero waste living plastic-free perfectly, it’s about millions of people doing it imperfectly.”

In preparation for the journey, they cooked and dehydrated meals and bought bulk supplies at Zero Waste Emporium in Victoria. “Going without single-use plastics on a sailing trip is doing all the things that we would normally do at home and just making it nautical proof,” notes Gordon. Carrying the slogan ‘Re-framing the face of adventure’, the Aussie sailors hope to inspire young explorers to travel with greater purpose. “You can go on an adventure, and a lot of the time it’s a privilege and you’re lucky to be doing that, but why not give back in a positive way while doing that?” said Gordon.

Baert leaves profound legacy From Page A1

“You’ve got to understand the time and place, here’s a woman coming to the West Coast to start a business… She was a tremendously courageous woman,” he said. “She just had that ability to put things together. We were, many times, by the seat of our pants, but she knew she had the right vision and that it was going to work, we just had to be tenacious and keep moving.” Stere said Baert’s support for local artists was instant and she frequently purchased their work even when the company was not yet financially thriving. “She knew it was the right thing to do to give them encouragement and support,” he said. “There’s so many things under the radar with Dorothy that she just did and never looked for accolades. She just knew what had to be done and did it.” The district announced the Tofitian icon’s passing through a statement that heralded Baert as a “huge champion” of a wide array of community facets, including the arts, environmental protection and affordable housing and noted the four-term councillor had served on the Tofino Housing Authority’s board of directors and chaired Tofino’s Community Economic Development Advisory Committee. “Coun. Baert was an incredibly hard-working and passionate woman who always put community first,” read a statement from Tofino mayor Josie Osborne. “Whether advocating for public art, heritage initiatives, affordable housing, or preserving viewscapes, Dorothy was highly respected for her determination, consistency, and principled approach to elected office. On top of all that, she was a good friend. She was an invaluable member on Tofino council and she will be missed terribly.” The Tofino Long Beach chamber of commerce released a statement point-

WESTERLY FILE PHOTO

Tofino icon and four-term councillor Dorothy Baert passed away on July 17. ing to Baert’s impact as a successful and inspiring businesswoman who was enthusiastically involved in her community. “Dorothy was a pioneering female entrepreneur, starting her company in the 1980s when Tofino’s tourism industry was still fledgling,” the statement reads. “She was a strong and tireless voice for Tofino, and she will be greatly missed,” wrote the chamber’s executive director Jen Dart. Tourism Tofino released a statement thanking Baert for her “strong devotion to everything Tofino,” and highlighting her role in transforming Tofino’s economy away from logging and into tourism. “Dorothy’s passion for Tofino as a destination and a community was at the forefront of her time with Tourism Tofino, council and as a longtime Tofitian. Her spirit will be missed but her legacy and efforts will live on in the community,” read a statement from Tourism Tofino’s executive director Shane Richards.

Stere noted that while Baert was one of the pioneers of Tofino’s tourism industry, she was also one of the first to sound the alarm over its rapid growth as she raised a passionate voice for residents in search of housing as local accommodations began switching over to nightly rentals for tourists. Christine Lowther said she was always grateful to see Baert’s fiery willingness to protect Tofino’s trees and greenspaces. “Fearless. Strong. Integrity,” Lowther told the Westerly while describing Baert. “We didn’t always agree, she even fired me once…I always voted for her. She was kickass, often the only one speaking up for trees at council meetings…I was always really relieved when she spoke up because nobody else was speaking up and I was like, ‘Right on Dorothy.’” She added that Baert had stopped her on First Street to talk about letters Lowther had written to council regarding preserving trees and had encouraged her to relaunch the Tofino Natural Heritage Society.

Stere was elected to his first term on Tofino’s municipal council in October and said Baert’s was a respected and powerful voice at the council table. He added that he had attended a council meeting with Baert the day prior to her death and that “she was on fire” with poignant questions and comments. “Nothing was personal with Dorothy. She had those prickly edges, but it was never personal,” he said. “There was no facade… She was not afraid. There was no fear. She was not going to say something because she was going to either be liked or re-elected, she said what her firm beliefs were and she stuck to them. You might not always agree, but you knew where you stood, that’s for sure.” He said the news of her death was “surreal” and he was shocked. “I was a 21-year-old boy when I met her and she’s one of the most significant people in my life…It’s pretty intense,” he said. “In general, we accept birth and death. What we have troubles with, I think, are when things are unexpected…That suddenness takes time to comprehend.” He added that, while the community has lost one of its most revered community leaders, the impacts of her passion will continue to grow. “She was a passionate voice for this community and one that cared deeply, deeply, about the people and the place and the spirit,” he said. “We gained so much. We are losing the individual, but what she’s laid the foundations for is only to carry forward.” The district’s announcement did not provide details regarding a cause of death, other than to state it was sudden and unexpected. A BC Coroners Service spokesperson said the death is not being investigated. Baert was serving her fourth term on Tofino’s municipal council and a byelection is expected to be held in the fall. Information about a funeral service was not available at press time.

$25,000 awarded for seniors programs NORA O’MALLEY nora.omalley@westerlynews.ca

Member of Parliament for Courtenay-Alberni Gord Johns delighted more than 40 West Coast seniors by joining the Seniors Social Luncheon at Forest Glen on July 17 (see photos on Page 6). Gord Johns Jo h n s praised Cathy Whitcomb and the team at Forest Glen Sea View Seniors Housing Society for the efforts they have made to help seniors

programming thrive. At the beginning of July, the Sea View Seniors Housing Society received a $25,000 grant funded by the Government of Canada’s New Horizons for Seniors Program. “Without good staff like Cathy, without board of directors and people that are serving the community like Jan and the team that you’ve got, we wouldn’t even be here without you. This is a project that came to fruition by hard work and it continues to be hard work that keeps it going,” said Johns during the luncheon. Whitcomb, the administrative co-ordinator at Forest Glen, said the grant will help create more activities for West Coast seniors, including: gardening, cooking for

senior’s nutrition, cribbage, book club, yoga and more. During the seniors lunch, Johns sat at each table and spoke with many of the seniors as they enjoyed a soup lunch made by Julie Bird. “It warms my heart to hear the stories,” he said. “This is what it’s about. Coming together sharing stories. It really lights up us too as leaders in the community have that connection. It really guides us too as leaders,” said Johns. Guest speaker Emily Beeson, a marine biologist at the Ucluelet Aquarium, entertained the seniors during dessert with a short presentation on local marine life. At the end of her talk, Beeson surprised the seniors with a gener-

ous gift – everyone received a free day pass to aquarium. The next Seniors Social Luncheon is Aug. 21. A guest speaker from the Wild Pacific Trail is scheduled. “Our luncheons are held on the third Wednesday of each month,” notes Whitcomb. “Please contact us if you would like to be on our ‘friends and family’ mailing list for luncheons and other announcements, if you would like to volunteer for any of our programs, or if you are interested in applying for housing at Forest Glen.” Anyone interested in connecting with Whitcomb is encouraged to contact 250-726-2789 or email: forestglen@telus.net.

B.C. VIEWS

NDP pushes ahead with Crown forest redistribution B.C.’s forest industry is having another bad week, after Canfor Corp. announced the immediate closure of its Mackenzie sawmill north of Prince George, and the permanent reduction from two shifts to one at its Isle Pierre mill west of the city, effective in September. It’s the latest of a long string of permanent or temporary lumber production curtailments announced this year for B.C. Interior mills. Canfor attributes the layoff at Isle Pierre to timber reduction at the centre of the mountain pine beetle recovery zone. Mackenzie is “due to the high cost of fibre, poor lumber markets and challenging operating conditions that have combined to make the mill uneconomic under these conditions.” This is the backdrop for Forest Minister Doug Donaldson’s latest initiative, the launch of an “Interior forest sector renewal” project. This consists

Donaldson described the proposed sale of Canfor’s licence to Interfor to keep its historic Adams Lake sawmill going as the $60 million sale of an “artificial asset.” I asked Donaldson if this kind of transaction is a thing of the past. He allowed that while ministry staff have kept in touch with Interfor and Canfor, he’s met with the mayor of Clearwater and leadership of the Simpcw First Nation. Chief Shelly Loring has demanded a role in forest management, and Donaldson concurs. Setting aside the useless political rhetoric around this (“You did nothing!” “No, you’re doing nothing!”), an optimist could say a multi-decade process of Crown forest reform and development of new markets such as mass timber is continuing.

CONSTRUCTION CONTINUES ON PARK RESERVE’S $51M TRAIL A complete waste of money for the few people who will use this path. Maybe it is being done so our illustrious PM will be able to cycle as well as surf with his bodyguards behind him. Just imagine what $51M could go towards in housing for First Nations communities, a new hospital, more mental health practitioners, a transit system to link all the communities (even though we have a grant for the buses in summer) but, most importantly, the waste water treatment centre that will stop the pollution waste that currently flows directly into the ocean. Clair Mcknight

It is absolutely mind-boggling how long it is taking to build this. A typical government project. Harold Pratt We visited Ucluelet in May this year. One of the highlights was the trails through the National Park Reserve. There was no worry about getting lost, the routes take you through stunning scenery and natural habitat. We also enjoyed seeing First Nation information and artwork along some of the trails. Another highlight were the free guided walks which we found very interesting and informative.

UKEE DAYS organizers, from left, Barbara Gudbranson, Abby Fortune, Judy Bloedorn, and Megan Fortune jump for joy as Ucluelet’s most awesome weekend has arrived. Festivities begin Friday night at Ucluelet’s Village Green.

West Coast excited to celebrate UKEE DAYS! WESTERLY STAFF office@westerlynews.ca

The Ucluelet Parks and Recreation Department has been working hard to put together an action-packed weekend that everyone can enjoy. Come smell the popcorn, experience the fun, hear the laughter of locals, feel the excitement of competitions and make some summer memories at Ucluelet’s most anticipated festival. UKEE DAYS 2019 kicks off on Friday at 5:30 p.m. on the Ucluelet Village Green (200 Main St.) with the West Coast Community BBQ. Enjoy local live music, experience a taste of the West Coast with local restaurants providing good eats and our unique competitions featuring the Gumboot Toss and, new this year, the Wheelbarrow Wobble race. “The Wheelbarrow Wobble is just something to keep the folks entertained while they’re having dinner. It’s going to be a race that you have a partner with. You’re going to race your wheelbarrow along through some pilings and they

“We’ve received really good support from the community.” – Abby Fortune trade spaces and come back. The fastest time wins a cash prize,” said event organizer Barbara Gudbranson, adding that Friday’s wheelbarrow race is for ages 16 and up. Wake up early to enjoy the Pancake Breakfast on Saturday at the Ucluelet Community Center, a fundraiser for the Ucluelet & Area Child Care Society. The epic Parade starts at 10:15 a.m. from the UAC Hall and leads the way down Peninsula Road to the UKEE DAYS Fairgrounds (160 Seaplane Base Rd.). Revelers can look forward to kids’ entertainment and competitions, logger sports demonstration, adult contests, and a Music Fest lineup featuring local musicians DJ Jessica Rabbit and Kurt Clayton and headliners Wise Young Blood and Illvis Freshly.

“UKEE DAYS began as a small community get together and now it’s bringing in our tourism people as well and they are participating in some of our interesting competitions. They think we are very funny people sometimes,” said Gudbranson with a chuckle. New to the Kids Zone area this year is Bounce A Rama’s Obstacle Course, Jousting on Saturday and the Foam Pit is back on Sunday. “So remember to bring your towel,” reminds Gudbranson. Sunday morning’s competitions start off with Kids Logger Sports and the Co-op’s Price is Close, followed by the must-see event Nail, Sail, Bail. “We are limiting [Nail, Sail, Bail] to 10 applicants this year. The first 10 applications that we received and that are completely filled in and liability forms are signed, will be entries,” Gudbranson said. Abby Fortune, Ucluelet’s manager of Parks and Recreation, said $10,000 was pulled from the District’s Resort Municipality Initiative (RMI)

funding program coffers this year to help with operational costs. “We got more tents and tables. We put in electrical power. Barb was also able to bring in the West Coast Logger Jack Show. Some of those funds helped do that,” said Fortune. She went on to say that the 44th UKEE DAYS has garnered an exceptional amount of sponsorship. “It’s been one of the better years. We’ve received really good support from the community,” said Fortune. Gudbranson and Fortune offered a warm ‘Thank You’ to all the UKEE DAYS volunteers. “Without you we wouldn’t be able to put this on,” they chimed. In effort to reduce plastic waste at the Fairgrounds, Ucluelet Parks and Recreation has partnered with Surfrider Pacific Rim Foundation this year. They encourage event goers to ‘Bring Your Own’ (BYO) cutlery and water bottle.

Games & Puzzles SUDOKU

WEEKLY CROSSWORD

PUZZLE #197410

SU197240

THIS WEEKS SUDOKU ANSWER

Fun By The Numbers Like puzzles? Then you’ll love sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your sudoku savvy to the test!

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

HOROSCOPE ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22

Aries, you have the gumption to complete projects that others may never even attempt. Put your best foot forward and get to work so you can start producing some results.

Think before you speak this week, Scorpio. Quick wit may lead to some easy laughs, but it’s best to consider how your words affect those around you before you speak.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21

Taurus, a friend or family member looks to you for advice this week. Do your best to put yourself in this person’s shoes and let him or her know that your support is unwavering.

Sagittarius, criticism is coming your way and is intented to be constructive. Recognize others are trying to help and take their opinions to heart.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20

Gemini, a great opportunity to express yourself comes along this week. Make the most of this chance to let others see your creative side. You won’t be sorry you did.

Give yourself a little more time to solve a puzzling problem, Capricorn. Within a few days, you might have the fresh perspective you need to find a solution.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18

A goal that seems unlikely is still worth working toward, Cancer. Others will be there to offer support and guidance as you pursue this very rewarding goal.

Not everyone moves at high speeds, Aquarius. Just because others can’t seem to keep up with you, doesn’t mean they do not have anything to offer.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20

Your financial savvy comes into play this week, Leo. Put your skill for finding deals to work and you will see your balances grow as much as possible.

Pisces, focus on doing an activity that brings you joy. This activity is a great way to spend some free time each day being productive.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22

FAMOUS BIRTHDAYS

Give yourself time to form an opinion on an important issue in your life, Virgo. The more time you take, the more clearly you will see the issue at hand.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 A budding friendship commands your attention this week, Libra. Give this relationship the attention it deserves and you just may establish a bond as strong as steel.

ELEL^EPHMb Bh_EU MEV

Born in Edmonton, in her early adult life Dorothy settled in B.C. with her infant daughter. Among her activities in Vancouver, she co-established The Sunshine Sandwich Shop, a popular Kitsilano cafe, and was an actorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; agent and stockbroker assistant. After years of vacationing on Wickaninnish island with Natasha, in 1987 she made her dream of living in ToďŹ no a reality. A pioneer in ecotourism, she established the ToďŹ no Sea Kayaking Company promoting Clayoquot Sound as a valuable wilderness destination and supporting its preservation. With her dedication to the community, entrepreneurial ďŹ&#x201A;air and ability to connect people, she was instrumental in the creation of the Clayoquot Oyster Festival and contributed to the cultural life of the community in numerous ways. An avid reader, she shared this passion by hosting public readings by visiting writers, and also supported local artists and events. Dorothy believed in service and making her community a better place. She was a dedicated councillor for the District of ToďŹ no, where she was serving her fourth term as a passionate advocate for sustainable development, environmentalism and housing issues. She was honoured to work and live in the unceded territory of the Hesquiaht, Ahousaht, and Tla-o-qui-aht First Nationsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the ďŹ rst peoples of the lands and waters now called Clayoquot Sound. Dorothy was thrilled that Natasha and her family had recently moved to ToďŹ no to assume responsibility for the business, and she was looking forward to having more time to spend with Zoe and Lucy, reďŹ ning her skills as a water colourist and enjoying travel adventures. Dorothy touched the lives of so many people; she will be deeply missed. A Celebration of Life will be held in ToďŹ no in the fall. Details to be announced at a later date. Donations can be made in her memory to: ToďŹ no Clayoquot Heritage Society Friends of Clayoquot Sound ToďŹ no General Hospital Foundation
