Publisher’sOpinion By Nelson BeckerCivic I have an idea for the Civic Movie Theatre!
Our Civic Movie Theatre has been closed for too long.
In this opinion piece, I will give you a brief history, the state of the theatre today, the plan the city has for pro-ceeding and my vision of what the Civic Movie Theatre could be.
The Capitol theatre was originally Nelson’s movie theatre and the Civic Theatre started as a 750 seat perfor-mance theatre. The two ven-ues eventually change places due to changing times and now we find that a 750 seat movie theatre is no longer viable in our community.
The Civic Theatre was constructed as part of a make-work project. It is over-built and poorly designed and is made out of very thick, heavily-reinforced concrete. When looking at the front of the building, you are present-ed with a big flat window-less wall. The access to the building is poor. The activi-ties inside require people to walk up or down. Nothing is at street level.
There was discussion about converting our theatre into a multi-plex. Cost and other problems got in the way.

Bomb threat at Rossland CourthouseOn February 9, an
unknown male caller phoned the Crown Counsel Office in Nelson and stated that there was a bomb at the court-house. Court was in session in Rossland and it was quick-ly determined that the threat was directed at the Rossland Provincial Courthouse. Trail RCMP Detachment was noti-fied and members immediate-ly responded. The Courthouse was safely evacuated, includ-ing the prisoners in custody. Trail EHS and Fire Dept. were notified and staged at a safe distance from the scene.
B.C. Sheriffs and Trail RCMP members teamed up
and a search of the building was conducted with negative results.
The Trail RCMP are con-tinuing their investigation into this criminal offence. A similar bomb threat was made last Fall also involved the Rossland Provincial Courthouse.
If anyone has informa-tion regarding who is respon-sible for this occurrence they’re asked to phone the Trail RCMP at (250) 364-2566 or CRIMESTOPPERS at 1-800-222-TIPS.

On February 3, Nakusp and Slocan Lake RCMP executed a search warrant on a property near Winlaw, B.C. in the Slocan Valley.
During a search of the property, police located an outbuilding with an active marijuana grow operation. Approximately 400 mari-juana plants in various stag-es of growth were seized. One male was located and arrested on scene. Police also located and seized an improperly stored, 12 gauge shotgun and ammunition. The shotgun was later deter-mined to have been stolen out of Alberta.
During the investiga-tion, police formed grounds to believe another mari-juana grow operation was actively being operated on a neighbouring property. The neighbouring property was determined to be owned by the brother of the initial sus-pect.
Two males, including the owner of the property, were located and arrest-
ed. A search warrant was obtained and an active mari-juana grow operation was located in an outbuilding on the second property. During a search of the residence, police located evidence of an extraction lab used to produce cannabis resin.
A tip from the public assisted police in forward-ing this investigation which ultimately resulted in a sto-len firearm and drugs being removed from our com-munities. The Nakusp and Slocan Lake RCMP would like to thank the public for their support in combating illegal activities in our com-munities.
If you have informa-tion pertaining to the illegal production of marijuana, or any other criminal offence, please call your local RCMP or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS(8477).

After many years of looking for a new home for the The Kootenay Co-op Country Store, their search is finally over. They have entered into a contract to purchase the property at 708 Vernon Street (currently Extra Foods).
Initially the Co-op was negotiating to lease the property, but purchasing became a much more desirable long-term situation for the Co-op. They will take possession on June 1, 2012 and will spend the next several months working through the options of how to best develop their new property. After bursting at the seams for many years, this new location will be more spacious and facilitate the expansion of lots of
new products and services. “We appreciate that this is an incred-
ible opportunity for our Co-op, the City of Nelson and our entire region” said Deirdrie Lang, the Co-op’s General Manager. “We are committed to ensur-ing that we make the best decisions for our member-owners and the larger community and will keep our member-ship informed as we move through this process.”
Russell Precious, Project Manager for the Co-op’s redevelopment, believes the location provides a range of options and responsibilities for the Co-op. “We appreciate that this important site in the downtown core gives us the obligation
to optimize its development for the benefit of the entire community,” says Precious.
The Co-op will continue to com-municate with the membership as they go. The best way to get up-to-the-minute information on this and all Co-op activities is to sign on to receive their Enews from the homepage of www.kootenay.coop, as well as regu-lar updates in their newsletter and on Facebook.
For more information, contact Russell Precious, Project Manager at [email protected] or Jocelyn Carver, Marketing & Outreach Manager at [email protected].

The staff and students at St. Joseph’s Elementary School posted impressive results to overcome strong showings from other schools to win the latest round of the Nelson Fire Rescue Services’ Fire Drill award. To win the trophy, and the $300 cash prize that accompanies it, schools were judged on their conduct while they exited their buildings. The alarms were activated without warning by Nelson firefighters to simulate the spontaneous nature of fire alarms. The best schools not only knew to be calm and effecient while exiting, but also
to ensure all windows and doors were closed behind them. Nelson Fire Rescue Services thanks the Nelson Insurance Brokers Association (RHC, BCAA, Poulin’s, and KIS) for their funding of the cash prize and offers congratulations to the staff and students at St Joseph’s Elelmentary School.
Anyone wishing to find out more information about exiting a building dur-ing an alarm, or with other prepara-tion-related questions, are encouraged to contact the Nelson firehall at 352-3103 or visit their webpages via nelson.ca
On February 12, Nelson Fire Dispatch received an emergency call reporting smoke coming from a neigh-boring residence on the 400 block of Mill Street.
Nelson Fire Rescue Services responded with sixteen firefighters to the scene with two fire engines and two utility vehicles.
Upon arrival smoke and flame were visible and a primary search was initiated which revealed that the occupants were not at home. Fire suppression operations were continued and the fire was success-fully contained to the room of origin.
It appears that the fire originated on the main floor, and fire damage was contained to the living room with smoke damage throughout the home.
No injuries have been reported as a result of this incident. The fire is under investigation and a team of investiga-tors from Nelson Fire Rescue and the Nelson Police Department will be work-ing together to determine the cause.
Nelson Fire Recue would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone to ensure that working smoke alarms are on every level of the house.
For more information, contact: Assistant Fire Chief Michael Daloise Nelson Fire & Rescue Services at 250-352-3103

The Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline will run 1,170 km from Alberta’s tar sands to British Columbia’s west coast. This new proposed devel-opment will result in more than 225 oil tankers to travel through the last intact temperate rainforest and along B.C.’s treacher-ous northern inside coastal waters per year. This will result in the possible trad-ing 560 full time jobs in the fossil fuel industry for
tens of thousands of fish-eries, coastal, and ecotour-ism jobs.
The Royal is hosting a gathering to join those in the community who are concerned about the consequences of the pro-posed Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline. This will be a free, fun, and informative afternoon with prize giveaways, live music, films, and letter writing. An all-ages acces-sible area in the Royal
front lobby will be pro-vided so that people of all ages can participate.
Writing a personal let-ter to the Joint Review Panel is an effective way to voice your opinion and stand in solidarity with those who are at risk of being the most affected. The Royal has gener-ously offered to pay for the postage of any let-ters written at this event. Resources will be provid-ed to help focus letters
on the issues that matter to you. Local musician Rafferty Funksmith (Jesse Lee) will provide music to keep spirits high, and there will be several short film showings throughout the afternoon.

Construction is now underway at Anderson Gardens, a new 33-unit affordable housing develop-ment for seniors and persons with disabilities in Nelson funded by the governments of Canada and British Columbia along with com-munity partners.
Through an amend-ment to the Canada-British Columbia Affordable Housing Agreement, the federal and provincial gov-ernments contributed a com-bined total of approximately $3 million for the construc-tion of 20 seniors’ apart-ments within the 33-unit
Anderson Gardens project. “This development pro-
vides Nelson seniors with quality, affordable housing, but more importantly it gives them peace of mind that their housing needs are met so they can focus on things that mat-ters most to them,” said Wally Eddy, board chair, Canadian
Mental Health Association – Kootenays Branch. “I would like to thank all partners involved and I eagerly look towards the opening.”

What are the flashes of light I see when I close my eyes?
The lights that you see when you close your eyes and look at the inside of your eyelids are a type of entoptic phenomena (within the eye) called phosphenes. Phosphenes are internally generated light sensations, a “per-ceived light”, that are caused by excitation of the retina by something
other than light. The most common phosphenes are pressure phosphenes. You can trigger these yourself by rubbing your eyes when they are closed. The colours and shapes you see while you are rubbing your eye are phosphenes. The reason phosphenes appear is that when pressure is applied to the eye, it affects the information flow between the brain and the eyes. The pressure is thought to inhibit the normal signals
from the retina to the brain and, in the absence of these normal signals, the brain starts to fire neurons ran-domly. When some neu-rons are fired, nearby neu-rons are stimulated to fire also, while those further away are somehow inhib-ited from firing. The pat-terns of which neurons are firing and which are not lead to the patterns of light seen as phosphenes, usually geometrically shaped, such as stars, spirals or tunnels.
Phosphenes can also be triggered by other types of mechanical, electrical or magnetic stimulation. One common trigger is the onset of a migraine. Hallucinatory drugs such as LSD also affect sig-nalling between the eyes and the brain and cause phosphenes. Some peo-ple believe that watching phosphenes helps them get to sleep so lie down, relax and enjoy the light show!

Darcy Fidgeon puts a sur-realist twist on the familiar in his meticulous oil paintings, the resulting in an out-of-this-consciousness fantasty while remaining firmly rooted in the artist’s concern for nature and the environment. Fidgeon’s work is now on display at the Nelson Public Library.
“My approach to art-making is one of asking philosophical questions about our changing environment through painting,” explains Fidgeon. “Our world is being altered at the quickest pace in the history of our mod-
ern culture. What is inspir-ing to me is to notice these changes and then to translate that movement into a paint-ing and record it in a fash-ion that hopefully defines that change.”
“The Library is all about storytelling, and thinking outside the box,” says Adult Services Coordinator Anne DeGrace. “In this regard, Darcy’s work is a perfect addi-tion to our walls. It’s amazing work, and we’re thrilled to have it.”
The exhibition continues until the end of March.

Opening this week’s Unplugged Sessions is a new singer/songwriter to Ellison’s stage, Scott Sassaman. He was raised in the Kootenays and learned to write songs run-ning around in the
woods at the north end of the lake. Scott will be singing original songs influenced by reggae, blues and country music, accompanying himself on guitar and piano.
Two touring musicians will follow and alternate songs, Victoria’s Chris Ho, who’s been writing prolifically since he first picked up the guitar at fifteen. Ranging from soulful folk ballads to bright happy-go-lucky melodies, his style gives listeners a balance of lyrical introspection and melodic accessibility.
Toronto based Nicole Byblow brings fresh and edgy piano pop, played with the prowess of a seasoned ex-classi-cal pianist and sung in a voice that’s been called “...almost too Disney for her subject matter.” She performed at the 2011 Juno Awards Industry Gala and Mark Rheaume of CBC Toronto calls her “...another stun-ning home-grown talent.”

Do you think that Nelson’s population has gotten too big?
www.surveymonkey.com/s/Civic_Theatre
theSurvey
Last week’s survey responses
IT’S not so much the population but the people who are coming
WE don’t have enough water to allow us to water gardens without restrictions in the summer. Where will water come from for a larg-er population?
80% of the population lives in urban areas. It’s real-ly hard to live here because there is no professional sup-port and the area is not mov-ing forward. I have wanted to move away from here for years and years but the econ-omy is so bad we have not been able to. So I work away from here and come home every couple of months. I see many other cities and they have progressive bylaws, environmentally progressive infrastructure, and an air-port that functions.
IT’S not too big, just too rich and too poor
I will start to worry if Nelson grows by 10.5% every year. I’d hate for this beauti-ful little city to turn into Kelowna.
PEOPLE are impatient, drivers are tail gaters and are also impatient. Store own-ers complain about people hanging out in the down-town area.
IT is nothing more than a small town with a big atti-tude.
I disagree with Nelson’s opinion that more growth is needed. More people = more roads, more traffic, more pollution. Yes there would be more jobs, but they would be taken up by the new people so where is the advantage to those already here.
I like the small size as it allows for more relaxed living.
BACK when the Kootenays were yet to be discovered by civilization and the Native people uti-lized it, it was actually just a place for hunting and pass-ing through. It was sacred grounds that no one tribe controlled. The City of Nelson only exists from the mining industry.... which in turn started the beginning of a slow and inevitable destruction of our water-sheds and sacred lands.... I beleive that there are about 10,230 people too many in Nelson, myself included. “Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realise we cannot eat money.”
JUST about right, except need more parking (Such as @ old Essos) or less cars.
THE city does not have the infrastructure for more growth. Either they don’t charge enough taxes to maintain what they pro-vide, or they are too inef-ficient. I think they tax too much.
IS there enough work to go around, what is the unemployment rate in Nelson. What do we con-sider work?
UNLIKE the editor’s wish to have more people, I think ‘small is good.’ We’re quite fine, thank you, by being a ‘small city.’ More people means more congestion, less parking available, and more unnecessary housing development.
BUT we do need jobs for the younger ones to remain in town.....................
NELSON is starting to lose its small town feel which was the reason we loved it in the first place. Start saving your water, we will be running out if more housing projects are built. We were already short of water to fight a large fire in the downtown core. The streets and roads are getting too congested, especially in winter.
I do not think that Nelson is overpopulated. I welcome all to come and settle down here. It is just too beautiful of an area to keep secret. I didn’t always feel this way. I used to want to hide it from the world in fear of over population. But realistically speaking, you cannot expand very far here. Calgary has become a sprawling night-mare, but they have endless prairies to expnad into. We do not. Most of this area is unlivable, it is a wonder we have fit this many wonder-ful people in it so far.

This past weekend the LVR grads hit the streets and the bottle depot with the arrival of the annual bottle drive. The grads raised funds admirably, taking in over $2100 in just one day. This success would have been virtu-ally unattainable without the leadership and hard work of grad executives such as Taryn Scarff, who put in countless hours of organizing and bot-tle sorting to help make the fundraiser happen. Recyclables were collect-
ed from all of Nelson’s neighborhoods and the volunteers were delighted at the enthusiasm of many of the donors. For the last few months LVR’s grade twelve’s have been selling Save-On Foods giftcards, with a percentage of the profits going directly to the costs of the year end ceremonies and celebra-tions. The annual grad talent show is scheduled for March and anyone hoping to attend ought to purchase a ticket before it sells out.

Sorry I missed your survey about the “ameni-ties areas”. I have only one comment about them: what deadhead bureaucrat invented that stupid name for such a great place! Sounds like a slightly indecent public conve-nience, or an outlet of local permissiveness, or a place for doggy pooh dis-posal. You missed a great opportunity to hold a con-test for a new name for those “amenities.”

Recently, a new leaser took over the theatre and major ren-ovations began. All the seats were removed and seats that were meant for a flat floor were purchased even though the the-atre has a raked floor. They now sit upon the stage, folded, waiting for something. The the-atre and concession have been gutted; it is an empty shell. The leaser was no longer able to continue the renovation and is now out of the picture.
The fate of the Civic Movie Theatre is now in the City’s court.
The City of Nelson is in the process of assessing fire and safety codes of city-owned buildings; that includes the Civic Movie Theatre. It is the City’s responsibility to get the Civic building up to code before even considering a new leaser. The next step for the City is to install all the neces-
sary fire and safety equipment in the entire building. This will be very costly and is not in the City’s budget at this time.
After the building is brought up to code, the City is planning to put out a request for proposals. Anyone who is interested in developing the property will have an oppor-tunity to make a presentation to the City. They expect the new leaser to pay for all inside improvements. As this might be very expensive, they are open to various options that might include the renovation money to be used instead of rent. They are also considering the possi-bility of giving a longer lease. But if the leaser wants to sell the lease, the City may not allow them to. The City would like it both ways. They don’t want any of the responsibil-ity, but they want the author-ity. I say that the community should keep the authority and
the responsibility.The Civic Centre is a com-
munity facility and, as such, should be under the control of either City administration or a non-profit society. An example of a City-owned facility that is operated as a non-profit is the Capitol Theatre. We should not put any part of the Civic Centre up for private operation, just as we will not put our gym or swimming pool up for pri-vate management. A non-profit society can help to raise money and develop community inter-est in a way that a private company can not. A non-profit society can be a support system for the City as it tries to work out costs and priorities.
I have an idea of what the Civic Movie Theatre could become. I propose that 750 seat theatre should become two 75 seat theatres and a large ban-quet/dance facility. The movie theatres are made by renovat-
ing the existing balconies into two side-by-side small theatres and the banquet/dance room is created by covering the whole orchestra with a large flat wood-en floor. The new facility must be as multi-purpose as possible, unlike our ice arena. We were told our new ice arena was to be multi-purpose, but the time and cost of converting it for each non-ice event has made it difficult to be used for anything other than ice.
The City of Nelson must make a commitment to be in charge of the facility. The City does not need to put out a request for proposals. It could decide to be a partner in its own operation. The City can get the ball rolling by designating a citizen committee to look into the feasibility of this proposal.
Actually, this idea makes so much sense that I think someone at City Hall must have thought of it first.

Doris Elizabeth Marie Folvik (nee Harper) Giovanna was born Feb
8, 1920 in Melilli, Sicily to Guisepina and Vincenzo Ternullo. Her early years were spent growing up in Sicily with her brothers Andrea, Gino and Sebastiano. After World War II ended, Sebastiano Fazzino returned to Sicily, and she mar-ried the “man of her dreams” on April 12, 1947. While in Sicily they had two chil-dren, Paul and Nella. In 1957 Sebastiano came to Canada in search of a better life for his family. Giovanna followed in 1958 with Paul and Nella; arriving by ship in Halifax and then travelling by train across Canada. This was an amazing adventure for a quiet, shy woman who did not speak a word of English. The fam-ily settled in Ainsworth for a short time and then moved into Nelson.
Giovanna spent her life making a warm and lov-ing home for her family and friends. Everyone was met at the door by “c’mon, c’mon” which was soon followed up by “mangia, mangia”. She truly loved to cook and pro-vide for her family.
Giovanna was prede-ceased by her parents, siblings and her husband Sebastiano. She is survived by her children Paul (Carol), Nella, grandchil-dren Joanna (Eric) Chabot, Sebastian (Erin) and by her
great grand children Tyler and Emily. She is also survived by her beloved sister-in-law Nella (Angelo) Amenta and their family as well as numer-ous nieces and nephews in Sicily.
Giovanna passed away with her family by her side at Kootenay Lake Hospital on February 12, 2012.
The family would like to express our appreciation to Dr. Keith Bridger and the staff at Kootenay Lake Hospital for their exceptional care and kindness throughout her ill-ness. We would also like to thank Thompson Funeral Home for their compassion-ate service. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Kootenay Lake Hospital Foundation, 3 View Street, Nelson BC V1L 9Z9.
Visitation will be held on Friday, February 17th at 7:00 p.m. at the Chapel of Thompson Funeral Home, 613 Ward Street, Nelson BC.
The Funeral Mass will be held on Saturday, February 18th at 10:30 a.m. at The Cathedral of Mary Immaculate, 813 Ward Street, Nelson BC.
Online condolences may be expressed at www.thomp-sonfs.ca
Funeral Arrangements are under the direction of Thompson Funeral Service Ltd.

How to contact us
Robert John Phillips the 5th, was born in Saint John New Brunswick on August 15, 1958. He passed away unexpectedly in Melaque, Mexico on February 9, 2012.
John grew up in New Brunswick and graduated in 1976 from Simonds High School. At Johnny’s first job he worked as a milk man from 1977 - 78. Then John relocated to Calgary, Alberta. He spent the next few years getting his pipe fitters ticket and graduated at the top of his class. He met his Maureen in 1982 and they then moved to Surrey British Columbia where they worked. John started John Phillips Mechanical, and later Protection Sprinklers with Tim McLellan in Surrey, where they lived until 1996. They moved to Ymir and purchased The Ymir Hotel with good friends and ran that until they sold it in 2005. Many, many good times and lots of laughs in those 9 years. There is still evidence of Johnny’s burn outs in the Hotel. At the same time John established Kootenay Sprinkler Installations. Johns’sprofessionalism was reflected in his work. He was highly respected in the industry and very much loved by all his employees.
John is survived by his wife Maureen, son Jason (Heidi), Grandsons Riley John and Blake. Mother Carol, Brothers
Robert John Phillips
inMemory theExpress Update Friday, February 17, 2012 Page 11
Al (Mim), Doug, Steve (Diane). Sisters Lorraine and Margaret. Uncle Gary (Sue), Aunt Bunny, Aunt Dodie and all his many, many aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his father Robert Phillips, Grandparents Robert and Margarette Phillips, and Theodore and Margorie Jones. John’s family was very impor-tant to him, and he was devoted to each and everyone of them. Being from a large family, John always said you had to be quick to the dinner table in the Phillips household.
There will be a viewing Friday afternoon from 4:00 - 5:50pm at Thompsons’ Funeral Home in Nelson on Ward Street. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, February 18 at 1:00 pm in the Ymir Community Hall in Ymir. Bring your Johnny photos and stories.
John was a very charitable man and he took every opportu-nity to help others. Donations to Habitat for Humanity can be made at the hall on Saturday, or on their website at “http://habitatwk.ca” http://habitatwk.ca or their Nelson office at 609 – 622 Front Street in lieu of flowers.
John was a generous man to say the least. Nothing was too much, whatever people needed, he found a way. Whether it be tipping, lending, buying or just supporting friends and family he could ALWAYS be counted on. He was quick with a story or a joke, always with a big laugh or a grin.
His grandchildren got the full benefit of a perfect “Pa Pa.” He made sure they had all the oppor-tunities possible: Hockey, swim-ming, music, whatever they want-ed. Teaching Riley John to ride his bike was quite an event, after convincing him that it would be much more fun than the Scooter. After 10 minutes of running behind him, John had him riding and loving it. Riley John was so proud of his accomplishment and PaPa John had a grin from ear to ear. Blakes’ big adventure at the lake with PaPa was teaching him how to drive the “speedy” boat and learning the “sandwich” song. John and Mo also built the boys an elaborate play fort for
the yard where they spend count-less hours playing. Those two little boys were the apple of his eye. Johnny was also known as “Johnny Kristofferson” because of the numerous times he would entertain us with his rendition of Kris’s songs... his favourite musi-cal artist.
John bought his first motor-cycle in 1980 - a brand new Harley Davidson Shovelhead which earned the nickname “the great punkin” because of its colour. Their love of motorcycling took them to places where they met many, many people, most of whom became long time dear friends. Anyone that rode with Our Johnny could count on him to find any hidden backroad pub. John loved an adventure and many friends were lucky enough to be along for the ride with John and Mo on many of these for 30 years. Johnny taught Mo to ride, and in their many years they put on countless miles together. Each trip was an adventure, and in their lives together, they enjoyed each day and laughed more than we can all hope. Anywhere they stopped, John would INSIST that Mo get up and sing. He always loved to hear her sing. And he would always tell people “you’ve got to hear my Maureen”
John was a FAST, HARD Riding Guy - putting on lots of miles, he loved to ride to differ-ent places, and meet new people. Trips to Daytona Beach to hook up with the crew there, seeing the guys from New York, Louisiana, Texas and Florida was important to John. Annual trips to Kim and Deb’s to hook up with all the Albertans, and any Fast Truck or Ugly’s rally to make those recon-nections where ever possible was a priority to John. The southern trips introduced the Canadians to Deep Fried Turkey’s. This brought the deep fried turkey recipe all the way from Louisiana to Western Canada. Of all the places he vis-ited, including Mo’s family in Saskatchewan he never developed a taste for Perogies, he called them, “Gooey Little Dough Balls”.
As well as motorcycling, Johnny and Mo enjoyed exotic locations, traveling by cruise ships, planes, airboats, catamaran,
and even parasailing. From roll-ing the dice in Vegas to snowmo-biling to tops of mountains they did it all. Sailing with Gary and Maria was always a highlight for John and he looked forward to their next sail together
John introduced a lot of people to Smokin Hot Chicken Wings! Every payday, John would invite all his crew over for Wings and Beer so he didn’t have to go to all the job sites to pay everybody. On every Chicken Wing Payday... every-one showed up for work! John and Grant drank more dark beer and cooked more deep fried tur-keys than any of us know, and “Thats a Fact!” Johnny was also famous for his Jo Jo’s. Every Fast truck party had a line up for Johnny’s Jo Jo’s, Wings, and his exuberant personality. In the early years he would pull up with a Coleman Stove tied on the back of his bike with a pot, oil and chicken wings. He would setup shop and feed everyone, and from there it just expanded to what we know now.
He embraced Ymir winter living, learning to skate - or to Stop - as he put it, and also learned to snowmobile. He enjoyed sledding up to the Paddy Shack with Eric where they often raced to the top to share a beer, a stogie and a laugh. Overnight sledding trips with George was also an adventure for the two of them. Johnny was a man of char-acter....and a character of a man.
Some of Johnny’s famous words...”I’d shut right up, if someone would bring me a beer”, and “you worries too much b’y”, “I’ll have one if Frank has one”, “Ieeeeee”, “How you doing kiddo”, “go on git.”
If the true wealth of a man is his friendships then Johnny was a very wealthy man. From Vancouver Island to Newfoundland, Washington State to the tip of Florida, John was a very rich man indeed. John was most the caring, generous, and non- judgemental man. He is a tremendous loss to us all and will be very sadly missed forever.
