By Kathy O’Reilly-Taylor Editor Could Cape Scott soon be home to an industrial scale medicinal marijuana plant?

Real estate developer Simon Harvey has broached the idea to the Regional District of Mount Waddington, said Economic Development Manager Pat English at a board meeting July 21.

The Harvey name is a familiar one on the North Island.

He is one of the men behind Nomis Power Corp. which attempted to bring the Nahwitti Windfarm Project to Cape Scott.

Nomis was formed in 2003 by Harvey, a real estate developer; Russ Hellberg, a former mayor of Port Hardy, and Mike Chapin, an electrical engineer who specializes in developing power generation projects.

Earlier this year the Province announced a change to BC Agricultural Land Reserve that specifically identifies medical marijuana as a farm use which local governments can regulate, but not prohibit. The RDMW zoning bylaws prohibit the production of marijuana for medical purposes in residential, commercial, rural and recreational zones, but allows it in parcels within the Agricultural Land Reserve. The RDMW Board also provided for temporary use permits to be considered for medical marijuana production in areas zoned industrial. “Theoretically it would be possible for Mr. Harvey to bring forward a proposal,” said English.

“It is one of these early, early, early stages things,” said District of Port Hardy Mayor Hank Bood. However, “if it does come to fruition it’s a big deal,” said Bood, adding that if Harvey is involved “there is some substance there.”

Tragic accident claims logger Hannah Griffin Reporter A fatal logging accident took place near the Holberg Inlet on the morning of July 24.

WorkSafeBC received a call at 9:30 a.m. from Western Forest Products after an accident involving a faller working on a cut block near the Holberg Inlet.

Trish Knight Chernecki, WorkSafeBC senior manager of media and government relations, said Friday that two WorkSafeBC officers were heading by aircraft to the remote area.

Amy Spencer, director of communications and government relations at Western Forest Products, confirmed one fatality from the accident.

WorkSafeBC said the faller who was killed was an

employee of Coast Forest Industries, based in Port McNeill. Operations were suspended at the work site Friday and crews sent home.

The investigation into the accident is ongoing.

WorkSafeBC investigates fatal workplace accidents to determine what happened and how to prevent it from occurring again.

The forestry industry has historically been considered a dangerous one.

In the 1980s the industry had the highest rate of lost time injury and the highest fatality rate in Canada.

The serious injury rate for the forestry industry in 2012 was 2.3 claims per 100 workers, compared to the serious injury rate for all of B.C. at .8 claims per 100 workers, according to WorkSafeBC statistics.

Woss wireless cell service one step closer

By Kathy O’Reilly-Taylor Editor Cell phone service in Woss is one step closer to reality.

At their monthly meeting July 21, the The Regional District of Mount Waddington board approved a motion supporting the new site as long as Telus builds it in accordance with the revised plans for a single pole tower and that they be given options for paint colours.

Telus has applied to erect a new site in Woss. As part of the application process, the company notified all property owners and occupants in the area within three times the tower height about the proposed tower and held a community information meeting in Woss on July 8. Written submissions were also collected.

Telus revised its plan after community consultation.

“It’s not going to be a tower, it is going to be a monopole,” said Telus Spokesperson Liz Sauve, which is a long slim pole, 30 metres high and the antennas on top of the pole are going to be flush mounted.

“The design of this pole is to have the most minimal visual impact on

the community as possible,” Sauve said. “The really neat thing is the original design evolved throughout our consultations with the community.”

The tower will be located on Englewood Drive.

“It means great things for the community of Woss,” said Sauve.

“They’ve been asking us for wireless service for a while now and we’re now one step closer to being able to deliver on that commitment, Sauve said.

The site means Woss residents will be able to use their cell phones at home or on the go.

“If you’re ordering a pizza, wireless enables that debit machine to work,” said Sauve.

“More critically, this is going to provide access to 911.”

People making the drive up and down island will also benefit from access to cell phone service in the area.

Now that it has the nod from the RDMW board, “the next step is getting approval from Industry Canada and if all goes according to plan we expect we can start building the site next year.”

Gazette staff Almost a month later, North Island Conservation Officer Bryce Casavant is still off the job.

Casavant has been suspended since July 6 since he refused to put orphan twin black bear cubs down.

“It’s a matter of waiting for the administrative process to go through” and for the employer

to finish their investigation, said Chris Bradshaw, communication officer with the BC Government and Service Employees Union (BCGSEU).

The union has also filed a grievance on Casavant’s behalf.

“The position of the union is that the suspension wasn’t called for,” said Bradshaw.

Hardy supports fare reduction Gazette staff The District of Port Hardy has thrown their support behind a call to reduce BC Ferries fares.

At a recent meeting, council dealt with a request for a letter of support from Islands Trust Council which is asking the provincial government to fund a 25 per cent reduction in rates on minor ferry routes. “A well-advertised drop in fares on the minor routes would help our communities bounce back and give us all time to work together on longer-term solutions,” said Peter Luckham, chair of the Islands Trust Council. Luckman said that since 2003 fares on some routes have increased four to five times higher than the cost of inflation and another 1.9 per cent increase is planned for the next four years. In May of 2015, the Islands Trust Council hired Perrin Thorau & Associates to calculate the cost of lowering fares on all minor routes.

The consultants determined that an additional $11 to $14 million is needed annually to decrease fares 25 per cent. Council agreed to write a letter of support.

The Islands Trust is a federation of local government bodies representing 25,000 people living on the island and 10,000 non-resident property owners. The Islands Trust is responsible for preserving and protecting the unique environment and amenities through planning and regulating land use, development management, education, cooperation with other agencies and land conservation. It covers 13 major and more than 450 smaller islands covering 5,200 square kilometres.

Potential medicinal marijuana site Continued from Page 1 English told the board Harvey has asked to come speak to them about the proposal.

“We did ask him for some printed material,” English said.

The $280-million Nahwitti Windfarm project proposed by Nomis was for up to 50 wind turbines producing up to 100 megawatts of wind energy, enough to provide energy for about 30,000 homes.

While Nomis received an environmental assessment certificate for their project in December of 2011, they lost the BC Hydro competition to Sea Breeze Power Corp., the company that built the Cape Scott Windfarm.

Hellberg said he stepped down from the company after it failed to win the competition.

The windfarm was to be located north west of Nahwitti Lake on private land holdings owned by Nahwitti Land-holdings 1 Ltd. and Crown land

leased from the British Columbia government.

“Everything is sitting there waiting for a wind farm,” Hellberg said.

The land is currently included in a Rural Zone which does allow for agricultural uses.

According to the city-owned Nanaimo Economic Development Corp,

the Tilray medical marijuana plant in Duke Point which began selling its product in April of 2014, employs 140 full-time workers.

The Nanaimo facility will bring in $220,000 in property taxes this year, and is looking to grow to almost five times its existing size.

According to health

Canada, the number of people who are authorized to possess marijuana in Canada is 37,884 with more than half - 18,383 residing in British Columbia.

Nomis Power Corporation is under the management and direction of Rupert Peace Power Holdings, which is a privatelyheld company.

Giving away our resource We were called back to the Legislature for a rare summer sitting. The purpose was for the government to expedite a bill on liquefied natural gas, which effectively sells out the province for the next quarter of a century.

It is an absolutely astounding piece of legislation. In a desperate attempt to get at least one LNG facility operating in BC MLA Update by the next election, the governwith Claire Trevena ment has already fixed the tax regime to be so low that we are effectively giving away our resource. This latest bill adds insult to injury. It ties the hands of this and future governments so that if any changes are made in laws that will negatively impact the earnings of the LNG producer the corporation will be compensated by the BC government.

In other words, if any government in the next generation chooses to change environmental laws, tax laws, carbon reduction initiatives, royalty rates or make any other changes that negatively affect the corporation’s bottom line, taxpayers would have to pay compensation to the corporation that could add up to millions and millions of dollars.

I am astounded that nobody said to them that this is simply an absurdly bad deal. We are effectively paying Petronas, and other LNG producers, to take our resource and sell it for their profit, not ours. The irony is Petronas is a state-owned foreign company; its profits help finance the government of Malaysia. So the reality is that BC is essentially compensating the corporation and by doing so will effectively be injecting millions of dollars indirectly into the treasury of the government of Malaysia.

The deal fails us in so many ways: it is anti-democratic in that it ties the hands of future governments into indemnifying producers against changes future governments may want to make; it allows LNG producers to negotiate environmental regulations and protects them from changes to a carbon tax and other environmental initiatives; it gives no guarantees of jobs for BC workers; and it fails to mention First Nations. But Clark used her majority to get this through during the summer, even though there was no deadline for any legislation.

I was able to use this abbreviated and unexpected session to thank all those who helped combat the forest fire outside Port Hardy earlier this month, as well as show appreciation to the many volunteers who spend hours working on emergency preparedness for our communities. As it is summer I am usually around the constituency. At the end of this week I’m hosting a meeting with representatives from some of our smaller communities to talk about how we in the North Island can gain greater benefit from our resource wealth. Next week I look forward to the official start of new broadband Internet for the north end of the Island and I will continue to advocate for improved service for all areas as well as cell coverage for our major highways. I’ll also be working on some critic related issues through the coming weeks – talking with people about ferries, highways and transit.

My offices are closed for the week after BC Day to allow staff to enjoy some of the summer. I will be taking some holidays in August, but expect to run into people camping around our wonderful North Island lakes.

As always you can reach me by email at Claire.trevena. mla@leg.bc.ca, by phone at 250-287-5100 in Campbell River, 250-949-9130 in Port Hardy or 866-387-5100 toll free. Feel free to friend me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter @clairetrevena.

Prospects for B.C.’s biggest investment Now that the political back-and-forth is over, there are two questions left about the Petronas-led proposal to make the biggest private-sector investment in B.C. history.

Will it actually happen? And is it a good deal or a bad one?

Premier Christy Clark ducked the first question on the day the project agreement for Pacific Northwest LNG was approved by the B.C. legislature.

“After many predictions about the Canucks and the Alberta election, I don’t make predictions any more,” Clark said. “But I can say that this project has gone farther than any of our critics said that it would.”

For what it’s worth, my prediction is on record: it will go ahead. The latest evidence is the company’s continued, costly effort to gain federal and local approval for a suspension bridge to Lelu Island to minimize the marine impact. Lax Kw’alaams Band members could not have had details on that change from an underwater pipeline when they voted to oppose the project in May. Is it a good deal? The mayors of Prince Rupert and Port Edward have made their views clear – they see it as a lifeline for an area that has struggled for years with a faded forest and fishing industry.

The B.C. NDP is also now clear, having voted against the project agreement in the brief summer session of the Legislature that concluded last week. Whether the project proceeds or not, this will be a key election issue in 2017.

NDP leader John Horgan and other MLAs made much of the lack of job guarantees, pointing to similar projects in Australia.

Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman issued a statement with excerpts from the state of Western Australia’s agreement for the Gorgon LNG project. The so-called guarantees contain qualifiers like this: “... except in those cases where … it is not reasonable or economically practical to do The North Island Gazette is published Wednesdays at 7305 Market Street in Port Hardy, B.C. by Black Press Ltd. Canadian Publications Mail Agreement #391275. We acknowledge the financial support of the Government of Canada through the Canada Periodical Fund of the Department of Canadian Heritage.

so, use labour available within Western Australia.”

Obviously there were no job guarantees, which could only exist in a command economy, in other words a communist dictatorship.

Everyone agrees that specialized trades such as welding alloys for low-temperature operation will be brought in. And LNG processing trains will be shipped in pre-fabricated from places like South Korea, as they have been in Australia and elsewhere. Pacific Northwest LNG is on record with federal regulators that in the latter stages of construction, the use of foreign labour for the project could reach 70 per cent. Does that make it a bad deal?

Perhaps B.C. could attempt to develop this expertise from the ground up. It seems to me that was tried with aluminum ship fabrication, and it didn’t work out too well.

For David Keane, president of the B.C. LNG Alliance, the question is how many large LNG projects, pipelines and all, can be managed at the same time as the Site C dam is being built. It was skilled labour shortages, and particularly a shortage of supervisors, that caused Australia to lose some of its proposed projects.

Keane said all LNG proponents here want to use as much local labour as they can, because it’s less expensive and it builds local support. And he disagrees that B.C. is a sweet deal for the industry. Among other things, pipelines have to be built across two mountain ranges.

Not only that, B.C. producers would pay an LNG income tax, which is a first in the history of the industry. Add to that PST, GST, payroll taxes, municipal taxes and federal and provincial corporate income taxes. Add aboriginal revenue sharing, and we have a deal.

LETTERS editor@northislandgazette.com

North Island’s unsung faith heroes Dear Editor, As I mused recently and recalled some of the local unsung heroes of the faith whom I have known, I exclaimed, “What a rich Christian tradition the North Island holds”.

I affectionately remembered the preaching of one of our then local First Nations ministers, Reverend Dina Nelson. At her Quatsino services, she could move me to laugh or to cry with just a sentence!

It also warmed my heart to see Quatsino women wrap their arms around the late Reverend Marian Matilpi. With tear-filled

eyes, they thanked her for the solid biblical teaching she so loving delivered to her 100 plus students, when she pastored the Alert Bay church of their childhood.

I gasped in awe as Marian told me of how, as a younger woman in ministry, she would preach to her Bella Bella church first on Sunday morning. Then single-handedly, she would row herself across the inlet, or a bay, (I don’t remember which) to await transportation to Bella Coolla. There she would share her message with another group of eager believers!

Marion and Spruce Wamiss of Tsulquate also came to mind, and the many young folks with children who freely frequented their home, seven days per week.

With an encouraging smile, their hosts provided some words of wisdom, a supportive prayer, and often a meal. Here, the energetic country gospel playing of the precursor to the “Band of Brothers”, and the heartfelt preaching of local First Nation Christian leaders, always drew a crowd.

“How many Kwak’wala speaking folks,” I thought, “have

rejoiced in the latter half of the last century, as they have heard the golden tones of Fort Rupert’s Julie Hunt, sing inspired hymns over the radio waves? How their spirits also must have been lifted as they listened to the preaching of Fort Rupert’s late Ed and Sara Sampere, broadcast in their own language!”

The widowed Sara was the oldest living Kwakuitl when we were friends, but even then, she loved to share the eternal truths of the bible any time she spoke in private, or in public.

In the warm glow of these memories, I exclaimed, “Thank

God for the nation of Canada that still protects freedom of association and speech!” How grateful I am also, that in recognition of this great privilege we still hold, our interdenominational church service.

To those who chose to participate: You may agree with me that unsung Canadian heroes of the faith like Marian Matilipi and Sara Sampere would have been happy to see us honour this part of our heritage, as a community.

Sincerely, Marie Monette Coal Harbour

None of Fletcher’s punches land Dear Editor, Re Tom Fletcher’s ‘Nestlé protest doesn’t hold water’ (North Island Gazette, July 21, 2015).

Mr. Fletcher pulls no punches, calling the SumOfUs/ WaterWealth petition nonsense in the opening paragraph of his piece. Fortunately none of Fletcher’s punches land, being aimed at places the petition never stood.

As a representative of WaterWealth I sincerely apologize to Mr. Fletcher if he took the words ‘suck BC dry’ literally and mistook the opening comment for the whole conversation.

We had not anticipated that, and feedback we have received indicates that the public went well beyond that opening comment to understand the broader

issues that the petition was about - primary among them being to ensure that the Water Sustainability Act is sufficiently funded to be fully implemented.

The review of rental rates under the Act, that the petition sought and that the province promised even before the petition was delivered, is but one more step in the on-going work to ensure that the public’s voice is heard in devel-

opment of strong regulations for the Water Sustainability Act, the first major update of BC water law in over a century.

Perhaps Mr. Fletcher overlooked that the petition text was “Charge a fair price for Canada’s groundwater!

Commit now to review the water rates!”

Those rates, ranging from $0.02 to $2.25, apply to some 80 categories of water use.

By Kathy O’Reilly-Taylor Editor A summer employment program to tackle Knotweed infestation mainly in Port Hardy, Quatsino and Coal Harbour will not be going ahead this year.

The primary funding for the program, $150,000, was expected to come from the Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovation’s Job Creation Partnership.

At their regular meeting July 21, Regional District of Mount Waddington Economic Development Manager Pat English told the board he had just received a call from the Ministry and “they have told me they are not in a position to approve our application for funding.”

English said the Ministry felt the weather would begin to change in September making for a short employment opportunity and that funding is geared towards “meaningful work experience to equip them for entry into the workforce”.

ence,” English said.

The Ministry official did encourage the RDMW to resubmit their application earlier next year which would make it “much easier for them to look at it favourably,” English said. “I will be putting forward another proposal in March.”

English thanked the board for their support which was “instrumental in getting us this far, but we will have to come back to you next year.”

English said the RDMW will be doing some of the work this year and will be spending $5,000 in Coal Harbour to tackle Knotweed in the right of way. Administration will also be talking to the District of Port Hardy to see if they want to move forward with some of the work this year.

Allowing the Knotweed to continue to grow unchecked “puts our infrastructure at potential risk,” said English, adding that their initial estimates of Knotweed “were only the tip of the iceberg” as there are “several hot spots in the North Island.”

CO working conditions unsafe The B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union have released two reports showing the B.C. Conservation Officer Service (COS) is chronically understaffed, resulting in unsafe working conditions for its officers.

A 2011 report by then-chief Conservation Officer Edward Illi states the single officer posts employed by the provincial government appear to contravene the Workers Compensation Act and the Canada Labour Code and “exposes officers and the government to risk.”

The report also states the COS “does not have adequate uniformed officers deployed throughout B.C.” and calls for an increase of 40 conservation officers in the short and medium term to achieve a “minimum deployable strength.”

Another report by the Society of B.C. Conservation Officers assesses staffing levels from 2001 to 2012 and notes the service lost 42 field officers in that time, a 32 per cent reduction in field staff. The report also chronicles a 70 per cent increase in problem wildlife calls and a 56 per cent increase in poaching and polluting calls since 2001.

“The B.C. government has known since 2011 that understaffing has created an unsafe work environment for conservation officers,” says BCGEU president Stephanie Smith.

“Their response has been to consolidate some single officer posts, while leaving large areas like Revelstoke without a local conservation officer.

“There are still nine single officer posts and 15 CO vacancies in a dangerously understaffed conservation officer service. This is unacceptable and clearly shows that the government must hire more officers to protect our members and the people of British Columbia.”

Bryce Casavant, the conservation officer who was suspended

after following policy and not euthanizing two bear cubs, works in a single officer post in Port Hardy.

Conservation Officers are peace officers charged with enforcing federal and provincial statutes related to environmental compliance and enforcement, shared stewardship and public safety. Changes to legislation have broadened COs responsibilities without any corresponding increase in staffing levels.

Furney Place?

By Hannah Griffin Reporter At the July 20 Town of Port McNeill council meeting, the third reading of a bylaw to rename a street after a long-serving Mayor was given.

Bylaw number 660 is to rename Grenville Place as Furney Place.

Grenville Place is a small street that intersects Broughton Boulevard in downtown Port McNeill, and is also the street the Town Office is located on. Council wishes to honour the 48 years of service that Gerry Furney gave to Port

McNeill. Furney was elected to Port McNeill’s first council in 1966, and was sworn in inside what is now the kitchen of the Dalewood Inn. He went on to serve as mayor for almost four decades, until 2014.

Furney says the idea of a Port McNeill street being named after him is “very nice of whoever is behind the idea and a welcome thing from my point of view.”

This bylaw will come to a full meeting in August for final reading when all council members are returned from holidays.

Movers and Shakers: Meet Jessie Hemphill

By Hannah Griffin Reporter Jessie Hemphill wears many hats.

She is a councillor for Port Hardy, runs her own consulting business, helps First Nations communities with community planning and facilitation, and is involved in a range of other roles from sitting on the board of the Canadian Women’s Foundation’s Girl’s Fund to co-founding the Young Elected Officials Network.

Hemphill grew up in Port Hardy and attended the Gwa’sala-’Nakwaxda’xw School. As a teenager, her family lived on the reserve and she attended Port Hardy Secondary School.

She obtained a degree in linguistics and indigenous studies at the University of Victoria and afterwards returned home to begin a job as the Comprehensive Community Planning Coordinator for Gwa’sala-’Nakwaxda’xw, a huge learning experience.

Two years ago Hemphill began her own consulting business, a part of which sees her travelling to First Nations communities in B.C. and beyond to help create and implement community plans and train community members to carry them out. She also works in project management and facilitation.

Hemphill became the first First Nations person ever elected to Port Hardy Council and the youngest women ever in 2011, and she is passionate about encouraging more young people to pursue these kinds of positions.

Hemphill sat down for an interview in Carrot Park to speak about her work in different communities, identity, and the importance of collaborative brainstorming and sharing.

On moving between different worlds “Us kids grew up having really strong roots in our First Nations community, but also really strong Submitted Photo attachment to Irish culture and knowing that that was part of our heritage. I was 18 I think when I Jessie Hemphill is a highly-involved member of found out I was Métis. Our family didn’t find out her Port Hardy community, as well as a town until a decade or so ago, so I wasn’t raised in that councillor. culture. But even the Métis were mixed right, half Cree, half French. So I think having that mixed are doing things to deal with their problems, and heritage and just recognizing that there’s something some of them are really successful. I think if we did beautiful in all of these different cultures, and some- more of that collaborative information sharing and thing to celebrate in all of them, nothing is superior brainstorming and that kind of thing, we could probably deal with a lot of stuff.” or inferior, it’s just different.”

On her community planning model “When you are talking about mixed race people, “I’ve had my own company for two years. Mostly sometimes people say, ‘do you identify more with what I do is I go to First Nations communities that your First Nations half or your white half?’ And I want to do a community plan, and I go and I help like to think of it more as being intersectional, so them hire and train sometimes, or at least train, a there is something unique about being mixed that community planning coordinator from the comis unto itself, its like the space between. So it’s not munity.

So traditionally I think when a lot of nonone foot in one and one foot in the other, its like First Nations community planning consultants have something completely unique that is the intersection worked with First Nations, they have come in, done of all those things.” the work, left a plan and then left the community.

On bridging communities “I chair the First Nations Relations Committee So my model is to invest the person from the comwhich is a new committee this term, and so that is munity with as many skills and tools and ideas and really exciting because what we are trying to do is tricks as possible around community planning so find ways for the District to work towards recon- that when I leave, they’re still there in the commuciliation either by doing things on our own end-like nity with all that knowledge. The work is a lot better Hank [Bood] started acknowledging that we are on too, because then instead of me guessing about the Kwakiutl territory at the beginning of the council inner workings of the community, or spending a lot meetings which is great. We had a one day session of time building relationships just to get the work between our council and folks from Gwa’sala- done, I can focus on building a relationship with ’Nakwaxda’xw and we watched the film about the that person and then they have all of their connecrelocations and just had some good dialogue and tions in the community that feeds into the plan and their knowledge of being a community member relationship building happening.”

On the importance of brainstorming and idea- that feeds into the plan. So it works a lot better and very often the community planning coordinator sharing “I also think that there is a lot of under-utilized goes onto a full-time job in the administration or wisdom and the ability to deal with a lot of our goes onto be council or chief, or they start their own issues if we would work together and not wait on company. It’s a really great stepping stone.”

This is part of a new series examining influential our government all the time for funding. Funding is really important, but communities all over the place people in the communities of the North Island.

Call 250-949-6225

By Hannah Griffin Reporter The tension that has grown in Port McNeill over a June decision to remove the volunteer Fire Chief was thick at a crowded July 20 council meeting where some residents questioned the process and transparency of the situation.

Former volunteer Fire Chief Chris Walker says he was called in for a June 23 meeting with Mayor Shirley Ackland and Town Administrator Sue Harvey and informed of complaints made against him. He says he was told to choose between resigning or being terminated. He chose to resign, but says after not receiving an acceptance of his resignation, he rescinded it on June 29. The same day he received a letter from the Town of Port McNeill removing him from the Fire Department, which read that he had breached items #2, 3 and 4 in the Port McNeill Fire Department’s Code of Ethics by engaging in a “personal relationship with a female member of the volunteer fire department.”

At the July 20 council meeting a petition to reinstate Walker was presented to council by resident Cathy Black. Black told council she took issue with the use of the Port McNeill Fire Department’s Code of Ethics in the matter of Walker’s removal, a document she described as a “one-page, vague list of statements with unclear interpretations.” Black went on to call the Code of Ethics “way too vague to ever enforce fairly.”

The online petition Black presented at press time currently had 334 signatures, however many signatures are from people who are not currently Port McNeill residents and voters. Mayor Ackland thanked Black for the presentation.

Some questions from the public at the end of the meeting centred on whether the proper requirements were met that closed a meeting where the removal of Walker was discussed.

According to section 92 of the Community Charter, if a meeting is to be closed, a council must state, by resolution in a public meeting both that the meeting or part of it will be closed, and under what basis of section 90 it is to be closed. Section 90 lists the subject matter that can qualify a meeting to be closed to the public.

done at the June 15 council meeting - the last regular council meeting held before Walker’s June 29 removal - Harvey responded in an email that it was not done at that meeting. Harvey wrote that instead council met as the “personnel committee” which sometimes happens when issues arise that need immediate attention in between regularly-scheduled council meetings.

Under section 93 of the Community Charter, these requirements that apply to council meetings also apply to other bodies, including council committees.

Resident Terry Eissfeldt said it appeared to her based on her research that the proper requirements had not been made and asked about the process that led to the closed meeting. Mayor Ackland noted that there is some flexibility for council to meet in urgent situations.

“Councils have a little bit of leeway to be able to deal with situations that arise where we don’t have a public meeting and we don’t in small communities have the ability to get it out into the paper that arrives once every week, so we have our personnel meeting that goes into an in-camera meeting that follows a council meeting such as this,” she said.

Black questioned the urgent nature of the Walker situation, and asked if the matter was an emergency that could not wait to be put on the agenda at a public meeting. Mayor Ackland said that the situation needed to be dealt with very quickly, and said that the personnel committee does not require a townthreatening emergency to meet.

On July 27 Mayor Ackland said she had no comment on the issue apart from that the correct procedure to deal with the situation had been followed from the start.

“We need strong leadership in the Fire Department,” Black said when reached in the week following the meeting, citing Walker’s 17 years as Fire Chief as a valuable asset to the town.

She says that she found the July 20 council meeting very frustrating, and thinks that despite residents asking questions at multiple meetings, they are receiving evasive answers, not the results they want.

Black says that she and other community members are determined to find concrete answers.

Film premieres in Alert Bay

By David Faren The film, A Man with No Borders, was premiered at the Royal Canadian Legion in Alert Bay on Saturday, July 11.

Approximately 50 people were in attendance for the premiere with many coming in from out of town. Among those who travelled to attend were Colin Gabelmann, former NDP MLA and Attorney General, Gerry Furney, former Mayor of Port McNeill, and Russ Hellberg, former Mayor of Port Hardy. Many Popovich family members were also in attendance.

Through the words of those who knew him, the story of Gilbert Popovich was told, who

became Alert Bay’s longest-running mayor. The film was thoroughly enjoyed by the audience and laughter filled the room on several occasions as the narrative unfolded. Prior to the film the crowd mingled and shared stories about their former friend and colleague over some good food and drinks.

The film was produced by Paola Rosà and Antonio Senter, two people from the same region Gilbert Popovich lived in before emigrating to Canada. The film is a condensed version of his life story which was originally told in a five-part series broadcast on the Internet and on Italian television.

Port McNeill postmaster ready to retire

By Hannah Griffin Reporter After having her two children, Claire Delves applied for a job at the Canada Post post office in Port McNeill. Within a couple of weeks she received a phone call asking her to come into work right away.

That new job was evidently a good fit, because on Aug. 14, Delves will be retiring after 30 years with the Port McNeill post office.

Delves moved to Port McNeill from Richmond, B.C., 42 years ago as a newlywed.

She has worked in both the Port McNeill and Sointula post offices, and spent 20 in the position of postmaster in Port McNeill.

She says that some of the most memorable moments of her career were the trips she went on as a field support postmaster, a role that saw her flying into remote, small communities like Sullivan Bay and Minstrel Island to audit.

“I really got to see a lot of country,” she says. On one trip in Ocean Falls, west of Bella Coola, snow caused Delves and her group to

become stuck, and the town pub was opened for them.

Throughout her extensive career, Delves says that she has seen a lot of change in the mail industry. When she began at the post office it was primarily a business to transport letters and sell stamps, and transitions into a heavy duty parcel focus and constantly evolving technology including a shift from manual to a complete computer system have kept her adapting over the years. “You have to have a very open brain,” she says.

Delves says that one thing she loves about the post office is that it serves as the pulse of Port McNeill.

Since residents need to come into the post office to receive their mail and packages, it is a vibrant and energetic place, and can even be a hub to hear about what is going on in town.

She says she will miss the atmosphere and the great people she works with. Once retired, she is looking forward to spending more time with her husband and grandchildren.

On Aug. 14 Delves hopes to celebrate her 30 years by going out for a nice dinner.

Submitted Photo On Aug. 14 Port McNeill postmaster Claire Delves will be retiring after 30 years with the Port McNeill post office, 20 of those in the role of postmaster.

Notice of a Public Open House Regarding a Proposed Finfish Aquaculture Site Located near Klemtu, B.C. You are cordially invited to participate in an online open house hosted by Kitasoo Aqua Farms and Marine Harvest Canada from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on August 6, 2015. Also in attendance will be representatives from the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.

The purpose of the open house is to seek public comment on other uses or activities that may occur at or in the vicinity of the proposed finfish aquaculture facilities located in Tolmie Channel.

Kitasoo Aqua Farms and Marine Harvest Canada have submitted an application to occupy Crown foreshore for the purpose of finfish aquaculture and the related works associated with that purpose.

It is also an important opportunity to share information regarding the geographical placement of the site and details of the proposed operation.

For more information please visit the website http://KitasooOpenHouse.com.

By Kathy O’Reilly-Taylor Editor A resolution that originated in the North Island will be on the agenda at the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) convention in September.

“I’m very happy that they’ve notified us that this will go before the UBCM membership,” said Councillor Rick Marcotte.

Sponsored by the Regional District of Mount Waddington and the District of Port Hardy, the resolution calls for a review of BC Hydro’s residential tariff structure and an increase in the amount of kilowatt hours a residence is allowed to use, in areas that do not have access to natural gas, in order to qualify for the lower rate. In 2008, BC Hydro applied to the BC Utilities Commission to approve

a two-tiered rate increase that was intended to encourage energy conservation. All residential customers were to pay the new rate, except farms and residents of Bella Bella who would continue to pay a flat rate. What the two-tiered pricing did not address was the reality that non-agricultural customers in rural and remote areas have no way of avoiding the higher rate by using, for example, natural gas. Residents in the North Island are paying an average of three per cent more for power than people in other areas of British Columbia. “About 40 per cent of our region is paying the two-tiered rate,” said Administrator Greg Fletcher at a RDMW meeting earlier this year.

“It affects rural customers disproportionately,” Fletcher said.

The third Rumble on the Runway ev e n t put on by the North Island Timing Association will be taking place at the Port McNeill Airport.

Children under 12 are free, and general admission into the event is $5.

Concession and parking are available on-site.

Rumble on the Runway defies odds Hannah Griffin Reporter Filomi Days was not the only exciting event taking place the weekend of July 18. The weekend also saw the Rumble on the Runway returning to the Port McNeill Airport for the second of three drag racing events taking place there throughout the summer. The sounds of revving engines could be heard from the highway.

The drag racing event, put on by the North Island Timing Association, features 1/8 mile drag racing.

On July 18 spectators filled the wooden stands to watch pairs of cars face off on the hot runway on the swelteringly hot mid-summer day.

Fire and rescue crews kept watch from under a tent.

North Island Timing Association racing director Bill Leong says that there were more than 80 entries for the event, and the results of the final on Sunday were unusual.

First time winners beat out the usual favourites and points leaders in the final, something that Leong says is extremely rare and an outcome that goes against all odds.

He also says has never

see that happen before at an event.

Many cars enter the Rumble on the Runway events from the North Island, but many are also from Campbell River, Courtenay, Nanaimo, Port Alberni and other communities on Vancouver Island.

Some competitors even come to events from as far away as Alberta,

storing their cars in Courtenay and heading north.

Three classes of cars make up the eventSportsman, Pro, and Super Pro. The third Rumble on the Runway event will take place on the weekend of August 22 and will see racers putting their feet to the gas pedal as they compete

for the championship in each of the three classes. Children under 12 are free, and general admission into the event is $5. Concession and parking are available on-site.

Interest in beach volleyball court spikes

By Kathy O’Reilly-Taylor Editor Three local women are spearheading a campaign to bring a beach volleyball court to the District of Port Hardy.

Krista Minar, Kristina Fedorak and Emily Heavoner, from Cove Apparel Company, appeared as a delegation before council July 14 to discuss their idea.

According to Minar, the group would like to work with the district on the

concept.

The Cove would purchase equipment, such as balls and nets, and in return would like the district to dig out the site, put in the sand and maintain it.

The court would be available for public use, but would also give the District of Port Hardy the opportunity to host beach volleyball tournaments, she said.

The women would like to see the court go in either in Carrot Park or at Storey’s Beach, “somewhere it is

going to get maximum use,” said Minar.

“Thank you for putting the work into this,” said Councillor Jessie Hemphill, who said council is always happy to see community members “coming forward with fresh ideas.”

The idea raised concerns for Councillor Dennis Dugas. The court would be used for two months of the year. For the other 10 months “it can become a dumping ground for animals” and if someone were

to break a bottle in the court “it becomes a liability” for the district.

Dugas asked if they had considered a portable pit that are used in other communities.

“I’d be much more in favour of that kind of idea,” Dugas said.

If it is a year-round court, “then it can be a real problem for us to maintain as a district and a real liability,” he said.

“I like the idea, but we should look at the costs and that first,” said Councillor

Rick Marcotte.

Councillor Fred Robertson recommended that the idea be referred to the recreation committee.

Mayor Hank Bood asked the women when they were hoping to have the court in by, and they acknowledged it was likely too late for this year “unless there’s like miracles.”

“It’s a really good time to start now [for next year],” Bood said.

Council agreed to refer the item to the recreation committee.

Big catches at Filomi Days

By Hannah Griffin Reporter Over the Filomi Days Weekend July 18 and 19, fishing enthusiasts hit the waters from dawn to dusk looking to hook the biggest fish and win top prize in The Bait Shack’s Filomi Days Fishing Derby.

Organized by Nita Klatt and Jim Henschke, owners of The Bait Shack, the derby has been a part of the fishing community for more than 20 years. Klatt says that the event went well, with 117 tickets sold and lots

of big fish. Entry for the derby was $20, and many locals and visitors took part.

The objective for competitors in the fishing derby was to bring in the heaviest fish in each category over the whole weekend. The categories were spring salmon, coho, halibut and lingcod.

The guidelines for fishers was that they could catch fish in Fisheries Management Areas 11 and 12 and were to follow the Department of Fisheries regulations.

Late afternoon on both Saturday and Sunday, eager fishers pulled up their boats and brought their catch to be weighed beside the sunflower-yellow Bait Shack.

Mike Stevenson won the largest spring salmon category with a catch of 31.4 pounds, Brandon Oles placed second with a spring salmon of 24.4 pounds,

John Mcdonald caught the largest coho at 10.1 pounds, Bogi Galik caught the largest hidden weight halibut at 28.4 pounds, and the largest lingcod was brought in by Richard Mose at 17.8 pounds.

The prizes were $1,000 for the largest spring salmon, $500 for the second largest spring salmon, $250 for the largest Coho, $250

for the hidden weight halibut, and $250 for the largest lingcod.

There was also a variety of different table prizes.

Klatt’s favourite part of the fishing derby? “You get to see all the fish!�

There will be a James Denton Memorial Fishing Derby Aug. 8-9, and tickets can be purchased at The Bait Shack.

Epic 200k+ bike ride a way to give back Gazette staff Two local women will be biking from Langley, BC to Seattle, Washington in the Ride to Conquer Cancer Aug. 29-30.

Donna Zimmerman and Valerie Roland from Port Hardy will both be participating in the event.

Z i m m e r m a n explained that she is one-year cancer free and participating in the ride is “my way of giving back.”

Zimmerman has lived in Port Hardy for 43 years. In November of 2011 she was diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

“I started my initial treatments on Dec. 10 and was to have six to eight treatments every three weeks,” she said.

“After my fourth treatment my oncologist decided things were moving along well and I would only need six. After my initial treatments, I was put on a maintenance schedule for two years,” she said.

“I am happy to say my last treatment was in April of 2014. I am presently in remission and feeling healthy.”

Zimmerman said her positive results are thanks to thousands of researchers, oncologists and nurses that have devoted their lives to this cause.

“So the least I can do is participate and collect donations in order to give back,” she said.

“This ride will be long, hard and tiring, but nothing compared to the suffering people endure every day with this disease.”

The 2015 Ride to Conquer Cancer is a two-day cycling event spanning over 200 kilometres that benefits the BC Cancer Foundation and supports leading clinicians, scientists, and researchers whose search for new discoveries and improved patient outcomes will

have a real impact in communities throughout the province, across Canada, and around the world.

Since 2009, the Ride To Conquer Cancer has raised over $59.1 million for the BC Cancer Foundation and to date is the largest cycling fund-raiser in the province.

The annual event draws thousands of participants who are supported by hundreds of crew and volunteers and brings together communities of cancer survivors, cyclists and supporters who train and fund-raise in order to participate in the Submitted photos annual event.
