Lost treasures returned

Brand new local thrilled to help reunite tiles ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Found treasure recently catapulted a new local into Ucluelet’s community spirit while also helping a longtime Ucluetian add one more good deed to an already long list before moving out of town.

Jen McLeod was exploring the backyard of a home she had moved into 11 days prior when she came upon three unique, aged tiles she felt needed to be returned. The tiles were decorated with coloured rocks and beach glass and one included a handprint.

“This house has such a beautiful yard,” she said. “But, it’s kind of gotten overgrown in the back so I was poking around seeing what my kids would be playing with and I find these tiles..I noticed one was a handprint tile and I’ve got a little kid so it kind of touched my heart. It was clearly something that someone loved at some point. It was someone’s little hand. That was the thing that touched me. I’ve got a kid who’s 3 and if I had left something like that behind I’d want to see it again.”

McLeod pulled the tiles out and posted photos of them onto Facebook in the hopes of returning them to whomever they had belonged to.

“I got a, kind of, crazy response to it,” she said.

“I had so many people messaging me about it.”

One of those people messaging her was Maureen Wells who recognized the tiles immediately as ones made by her friend Shirley Varns, who has since passed away.

“She was a very close friend of mine,” Wells said adding Varns had made the tiles over 10 years ago for her two grandchildren and her late friend Carol McBrine.

Wells helped McLeod reunite Carol’s widower Walter with Carol’s tile and plans to deliver the two grandchildren’s tiles to their grandfather in Nanaimo.

“I really appreciate how welcoming everyone has been in this community and what a great community it is.”

– Jen McCleod “I just thought Shirley would be happy if I did that,” she said.

McLeod was delighted to play a role in returning the lost treasures.

“It feels pretty fantastic. I feel like I was able to kind of become part of the community and I was really accepted as part of the community, because I’m brand new here. We literally just moved here from Alberta,” she said. “We visited here many times and that’s why we chose to buy a house here, but this has been my first community experience and it’s just been so warm and welcoming…I really appreciate how welcoming everyone has been in this community and what a fantastic community it is. I hope to make it my home for a long time.”

Wells has made it her home for 40 years since moving to the community with her parents in 1976 after her dad accepted a job as the local staff sergeant. She recently announced she would be moving to Qualicum Beach and that her last day at the local CIBC branch was Tuesday.

“I grew up here basically from the age of 15 and, 41 years later, now I’m leaving. It is bittersweet. because I do love Ucluelet and I love my job and the people I work with and for and the clients, but I just had a really good opportunity to move to Qualicum,” she said adding the move will put her closer to her parents. “I’m overwhelmed with the responses I’m getting from people that I didn’t think cared. People have been coming to my work and bringing me flowers and gifts and cards and it makes it even harder to leave.”

Local police and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada are trying to find out who put spikes on this float and why they put them there.

Who put spikes on this float?

RCMP and DFO trying to hammer out why nails were there ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada is still trying to determine whether spikes seen sticking out of a float near Ucluelet’s public boat launch last month were placed intentionally to injure sea lions.

Tofino photographer Wayne Barnes was outraged on Oct. 13 when he was examining photos he had taken of sea lions hauled out on the float and realized large nails had been placed on wooden planks around the float’s pe-

rimeter. Barnes was one of several West Coast locals who had spotted the nails on the float, which is close to shore and in a high-use marine area, and reported it to DFO. Fisheries Officer Dan Smith of DFO’s Tofino Field Unit told the Westerly News that the owner of the float has been spoken to, but who placed the nails and why remains unclear.

“We are still currently investigating the matter and can’t say much right now.

I can tell you that the owner was contacted soon after this was first reported and the spikes were removed shortly

after,” Smith said. “I can’t comment on charges at this point other than sec. 7 of the Marine Mammal Regulations does state that, ‘No person shall, disturb a marine mammal except when fishing for marine mammals under the authority of the Regulations.’”

Ucluelet RCMP detachment commander Sgt. Steve Mancini said police have interviewed the float’s owner and are working with DFO. “An investigation is continuing with DFO in an attempt to determine how in fact those nails were put there and by whom,” Mancini said.

Assault investigation ongoing ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Ucluelet RCMP continue to investigate a sexual assault that was reported to police on Sept. 20.

“The matter is still under investigation. We’re currently exploring our options with forensics,” said Sgt. Steve

Mancini of the Ucluelet RCMP. “We’re still trying to determine exactly what went on that night.”

Mancini said there were no signs of a break-in at the property and police have not identified any suspects.

“Complex investigations such as this tend to take a

significant amount of time,” he said. “We just have to make sure that we’re looking at all of our avenues. With that being said, if anybody does happen to have any information about it that they feel they’d like to share with us, by all means contact us at the detachment [250-726-

7773] and we’ll be happy to talk to them.”

Mancini said he does not believe the community is at risk.

“This incident I believe to be isolated and we don’t have any concerns over the safety of the community at this time,” he said.

Long Beach Airport lands award ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

A lighting upgrade that brought enhanced safety and increased traffic to the West Coast’s airport has now brought accolades as well.

The Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District’s Airport Superintendent Mark Fortune travelled to Vancouver last week to attend a ceremony where he received the B.C. Aviation Council’s William Templeton Trophy.

Fortune accepted the award on behalf of the ACRD, in recognition for improvements made to both the West Coast’s Long Beach Airport and the Alberni Valley Airport.

The William Templeton Trophy has been awarded annually since 1971 and recognizes “outstanding initiative and achievement in the successful development of a community airport, regional airport, heliport or floatplane landing facility by an individual, association, municipal government or company,” according to BC Aviation Council Executive Director Candace McKibbon.

McKibbon told the Westerly News that the ACRD was recognized for the installation of new runway lighting at Long Beach Airport that was installed thanks to a $1.27 million grant from the B.C. Air Access Program.

“The airport was lit in WWII and that lighting fell in the 50’s. Since then, the airport

has had no lighting,”McKibbon said adding the key purpose of the new lighting was to allow emergency response aircraft to come and go safely.

“While BC Medevac was the primary cause for putting this lighting in place, this now allows for more flights to operate during nights and low visibility into one of the most beautiful places in the country.”

She added the Alberni Valley Airport extended their runway in 2015 and is also working on an airfield lighting project.

“It’s through advancements like this that our smaller communities can continue to grow and be properly serviced,” McKibbon said.

COLUMN

It’s about making your life your own iconic pose I went to bed on Oct. 16 — unthinkingly — in my Tragically Hip T-shirt. Sky blue with a bold “H” and “P” framing a silhouette of Gord Downie in an iconic pose standing in place of the “I.” I awoke to a Canadian Press report, undoubtedly pre-prepared months ago, expected, but no less hard to read: Downie was gone.

Conventional journalism directs me to backfill here; to recount his brave battle with inoperable brain cancer and the definitive Canadianness that defined his band.

I refuse. You don’t need it. I don’t want it. I want to write about words. About my fascination with them. About my awe at the way Gord could sculpt them into constructions of great and terrible and at times indecipherable beauty. About my

ineffectual struggle at this moment to forge important and what is not.

But too often, most of connect, inspire and underus remain in the car, driving stand.

Gord worked that, lived which reinforces our biases it, on a higher level. instead of challenging them.

A wise man once said “when Gord’s work urged us to plunge in deeper than the sunlight hits the olive oil don’t hesitate.” Gord spoke what the tour guide would John McKinley about art and truth and life suggest, to take roads less and how they intertwine and how travelled and listen to voices their pursuit gives one both perspective seldom heard. and purpose.

Sure Gord spoke in cultural idioms like Clayoquot Sound and Bobby Orr largely unique to Canada, but the underlying themes of Carpe Diem and empathy were universal.

Life is a privilege. It’s not about getting the T-shirt. It’s about making your life your own iconic pose.

they should! But...what about any chemicals that may have been absorbed into the fruit?

And, where does the washed off pesticide end up? ..and what about the environmental and ecological costs/damage of using pesticides in the first place?..and then there’s the whole other raft of problems of using chemical fertilizers that are brushed aside from worry when the end consumer is happy at the thought that all they have to do is wash their fruit in baking soda and water...Just some ‘ food for thought.’

Tofino mayor Josie Osborne, far right, was announced as part of a new Climate Solutions and Clean Growth Council by B.C.’s Environment and Climate Change Strategy Minister George Heyman last week.

Osborne to assist B.C. with climate solutions Mayor joins new council tasked with boosting environmental and economic health ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

B.C.’s government believes a healthy environment could and should go hand in hand with a healthy economy and has enlisted the help of Tofino’s mayor to connect the dots.

Josie Osborne has been named to a new advisory council tasked with helping the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy find ways to reduce carbon pollution while creating sustainable economic opportunities and job creation.

“Being appointed to the Climate Solutions and Clean Growth Advisory Council is a real honour,” Osborne told the Westerly News. “For Tofino, I think it’s an acknowledgment of being on the frontline of climate change—quite literally, as a

community surrounded by ocean on three sides—as well as the strong interest in climate mitigation and adaptation expressed over the years by the business community and elected leadership.”

The 22-member council includes representation from environmental organizations, industry, academia and First Nations. Osborne is one of two local government representatives to be invited onto it, along with Smithers Mayor Taylor Bachrach.

“What I am going to bring to the table is my own science background and experience as a fisheries biologist, a strong sense of ‘optimistic pragmatism,’ and a demonstrated ability to work respectfully and proactively with a diverse range of people and sectors,” Osborne said. “That being said, I am going to learn a lot and

bring back new ideas and relationships back to Tofino and the region that we can call benefit from. I’m excited.”

A ministry spokesperson told the Westerly News, “Advisory Council members are leaders in their fields, chosen for their expertise and interest in advancing the clean development goals of the province.”

Environment Minister George Heyman said the council’s work will provide the building blocks for a new provincial climate strategy that tackles pollution while creating a healthy economic environment.

“I am thrilled with the new advisory council and look forward to receiving their input as we get B.C. on track to hitting our climate targets, maximizing related job opportunities, and protecting our province for generations to come,” Heyman said.

“Being appointed to the Climate Solutions and Clean Growth Advisory Council is a real honour.

– Josie Osborne The new council’s co-chair Merran Smith, Executive Director of Clean Energy Canada, said she’s excited to get started.

“I look forward to co-chairing this council on climate solutions and clean growth. Those two priorities must go hand in hand for the government to succeed in cutting carbon pollution while making our province more affordable, competitive and prosperous. Our council’s mandate to provide not just advice, but accountability, is critical to turn good ideas into lasting results,” Smith said.

Strategy and Action Plan to guide Nation

From A1 Tara Atleo, MHSS CEO, explained that, “The plan will look back at previous Ahousaht strategic planning materials, incorporate ongoing community feedback, and feedback from the Land Use Visioning sessions, to determine what is currently working well, what can be improved, what our economic development strategic priorities are, and how we can achieve them. For example, we know that the community would like to be communicated with more effectively, so let’s find a way to do that.”

In the press release, Atleo says, “Our strategy will ensure that current and future economic initiatives are consistent with four key components: protecting Ahousaht cultural resources; enhancing the Ahousaht way of life; maintaining biological diversity; and providing sustainable economic wellbeing.”

“It is expected that this plan will give clear direction for how we implement the Ahousaht Land Use Vision, to help build our stewardship capacity to ensure that we are caring for the territories and providing economic opportunities for Ahousaht people. Also, we expect to prioritize what sustainable development opportunities are important in the tourism, fisheries, forestry, and energy sectors,” Atleo explained.

The Strategy and Action Plan will directly involve Ahousaht community members.

“The community can get involved in a number of ways including continuing to constructively and positively share their thoughts and ideas with Ahousaht leadership and the Hawiih, participating in future planning sessions, and taking advantage of new job opportunities being created,” Atleo said.

“Sustainable community development is a slow process, and the only way we can get there if we are all positive and supportive of one another.”

The Ahousaht First Nation has launched a new Strategy and Action Plan to help steer sustainable economic initiatives in their territory Local job creation is desperately needed.

Many travel to Tofino to work, adding extra costs and time to each day for water taxi travel. Others, simply can’t find work in the region. Atleo expanded on that, saying “Job creation for Ahousaht residents is one of the most critical goals as continually expressed by Chief Maquinna and the Hawiih. Last year we created up to 40 full-time and seasonal jobs for Ahousaht residents, not including contract opportunities, and expect that number to continue to grow very quickly. The goal is to create jobs that people feel good about, and that support the sustainable management of resources.”

Island Coastal Economic Trust is providing half of the $30,000 budget for the Strategy and Action Plan. The remaining $15,000 is coming from MHSS. Line Robert, ICET CEO, says MHSS’s Strategy and Action Plan is unique in “that the Ahousaht have developed a Land Use Vision for their Hahoulthee and are taking a step back to reassess economic opportunities and develop a new roadmap, based on that vision.”

The plan will allow them to “prioritize and focus energy” on the projects and development opportunities that fit best with their Land Use Vision. “Since the [economic development readiness] program

was launched a few years ago, more than a dozen smaller and remote communities have developed comprehensive economic development strategies. Our vision is to have a region where every community has a robust roadmap and the tools to ensure that they can fulfil their communities’ vision and aspirations.”

While in the short term, the Strategy and Action Plan will allow Ahousaht to take stock of what businesses and development are already in place within their territory, the long-term impacts will mean more job opportunities and benefits to the entire region and even the provincial economy as a result, according to Robert.

Please be advised that the District of Tofino conducts monthly testing of the Cox Bay, Mid-Chesterman and North Chesterman outdoor warning sirens (a.k.a. tsunami sirens) on the first Friday of each month at 11:00 am.

The purpose of monthly testing is to ensure that the sirens are functioning effectively and to increase awareness of the importance of personal emergency preparedness.

Siren testing will sound like this: • “This is a test of the emergency warning system. This is only a test.”

• Westminster Chime (10 sec) • “Test of the emergency warning system is complete.

This has only been a test.”

For testing purposes, the Westminster Chime is used because it is the allclear tone used in emergency warning systems around the world.

In the event of a real emergency such as a tsunami warning, the sirens will emit a wailing tone and a voice message will indicate the level of alert and advise that listeners tune into an official source of information, such as the local radio station at 90.1 FM for details.

“Tourism Tofino’s unique approach to the group media trip balanced the efficiency of putting together a joint program with the efficacy of ensuring the journalists have different stories to tell,” said awards judge Nathan Lump through the release.

“Tourism Tofino’s professionally presented and sensitively designed program mixed custom elements for each participant with common ones they would share, ensuring each journalist had a different angle to explore on the ‘endless summer’ theme.”

Collective studio space opens in Ucluelet Lots to see around local business scene

NORA O’MALLEY nora.omalley@westerlynews.ca

Since opening The Den at 1645 Cedar Road—across from the Ucluelet Aquarium—this summer, co-owners Diane Rudge and Kristen O’Keefe have shared their collective studio space with local painters, graphic designers, and videographers.

Rudge, who is a macramé specialist, said anyone interested in joining the collaborative should call 604-388-5501 or email hello@theden-studios.com.

The dog-friendly Den features three workstations in the back and a bright, living room concept retail space in the front.

Individuals have the option of signing-up as full-time artists ($400/month) or part-time artists ($200/month).

For $15, artists can also post-up for the day and enjoy Internet, bottomless coffee, plus an abundance of inspiration from like-minded creators.

“It’s just nice when you’re an artist instead of having to work by yourself all the time to be working with other creatives,” said Rudge.

The Den also doubles as an event and workshop space, with several art-focused workshops on the horizon.

“Even if you don’t work in here and want to come and use the space to host a workshop, we want to leave that open to anyone in the community,” she said.

To learn more, visit: www.theden-studios.com.

Affordable rental units From A1 The land, officially known as District Lot 114, has long been earmarked for affordable housing and its development was initially under the perview of the Tofino Housing Corporation. That plan went into limbo when the THC dissolved in 2014.

The housing corporation has since been restruck and, during Oct. 24’s council meeting, Tofino Housing Corporation executive director Ian Scott said the THC was excited to work with the Fellowship on the project and added that, as a registered charity, the Fellowship has access to funding and support sources that the THC doesn’t.

“They are better positioned to be able to serve populations Bill Irving in this community who aren’t what I would call the working poor, where the tourist economy has sort of put them out of reach of the real estate industry, but have other reasons why they’re struggling to find housing,” he said. “The bible fellowship as a charity is in a much better position, at least initially, to be able to serve that type of need than the corporation is.”

Fellowship member Bill Irving said the MOU was a vital first step towards getting started and that, once signed, the Fellowship could begin formally engaging local organizations that may have an interest in providing services in the community space.

“I think there’s a nice synergy…to try to bring not only the housing component but to service the people who are low income and struggling to plant their roots in their community,” he said.

“It’s one thing just to provide someone with housing, it’s another thing to provide them with the ability to actually raise their families and grow in this community and then start giving back.”

Tofino’s Chief Administrative Officer Bob MacPherson touted the MOU as an exciting partnership.

“Delivering housing is a costly business and there’s this gap that we’re all aware of between what folks can afford and what it actually costs to deliver, so we’re going to be looking, through this process, at creative ways that we can kind of lower what it costs to deliver the housing to try to close that gap and make housing more affordable for people,” he said.

Council unanimously approved signing off on the agreement, though Coun. Greg Blanchette

“There’s a huge need and a worsening need for housing...”

PUBLIC NOTICE

PROPOSED TELUS TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITY 40 METER SELF SUPPORT STRUCTURE PROPOSED STRUCTURE: As part of the public consultation process required by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED), TELUS is inviting the public to comment on a proposed telecommunications facility consisting of a 40-meter self-support tower and ancillary radio equipment situated on private land at 1440 Pacific Rim Highway, Tofino.

LOCATION: 1440 Pacific Rim Highway, Tofino

wondered why the land would be transferred rather than leased to the Fellowship.

“The one enduring entity in this three-part agreement is the district of Tofino. Things could happen with the housing corporation. Things could happen with the bible fellowship. There are loans being talked about and I’m just wondering where the buck stops ultimately,” he said.

“Does the land need to be transferred or could the same thing happen with the land remaining under the district of Tofino so that we have some recourse and we’re not left with ownerless land should one or another of the other two organizations disappear somehow?”

MacPherson said conversations are still in the early stages and a lease could be discussed after the MOU was signed. He added a lease arrangement could impact financing possibilities.

After the meeting, a jubilated Irving told the Westerly News he was delighted by council’s support.

“There’s a huge celebration on Tuesday. That’s a massive step,” he said. “This MOU is the first very significant step that really says we’re headed down that road. We’re not just talking about it.”

He added funding applications have since been sent to CMHC for grants to cover engineering and site design costs before moving towards larger applications to cover the building costs of the 20 units and community space.

“I think the cash will start flowing fairly quickly because we’ve done a lot of preliminary work with the government agencies,” he said. “The outlook is that by the spring, we’ll have all the design and engineering stuff ready…and then we’re targeting next fall to start the actual build.

So they should be available in the spring of 2019.”

He estimated the project will run around $4 million but said a precise figure won’t be known until assessments are complete.

“There’s a huge need and a worsening need for housing and the pieces seem to be falling together,” he said.

“The doors seem to be opening and the funding seems to be available. Let’s take the leap and see if we can get this to happen.”

The economic prospects of Vancouver Island are looking pretty good at the moment.

Just not quite as good as they looked in the fall of 2016.

That’s the verdict of the the third-annual State of the Island economic report unveiled this afternoon as the Vancouver Island Economic Summit wrapped up in Nanaimo.

Susan Mowbray, an economist with MNP and the report’s author said many of the Island’s key economic indicators remain strong, however their rate of growth has slowed. And a few extenuating factors — locally and abroad — bear watching.

Foremost among the big picture items are the increases in Bank of Canada’s prime lending rate and the uncertainty surrounding the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Closer to home, while the demand for wood

products remains strong, access to wood fibre means there has not been corresponding increases in wood production.

Meanwhile, retail and service businesses are struggling to fill low-wage jobs in part because of a lack of affordable housing.

The growth in the number of international students and tourists coming here has slowed.

The caveat of course it that those numbers are still very strong, unemployment is at some of the lowest levels in the province and the softwood situation has yet to put its feared dent in the forestry industry.

And the housing market is booming as our population growth continues in all sub-regions except the North Island.

“I don’t want anyone to think the Island economy won’t continue to go well; it will,” Mowbray said.

“The outlook remains rosy. It’s just not quite as rosy as it was a year ago.”

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you might feel like you have lost a bit of your relationship magic, but in the department of winning friends, you can’t be beat.

People are lining up to know you.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 You are not going to do anything halfway this week, Scorpio.

Come to think of it, you never do things halfway. Nevertheless, be cautious and considerate with your pursuits.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you are not the type of person who is willing to settle.

This week, in regard to your career, you will demonstrate just how eager you are to get ahead.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, the greatest asset you can have this week is the capacity to communicate. Always express your feelings clearly so that nothing can be misconstrued.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Relationship matters are on the mend, Aquarius. You couldn’t be happier with the changes. You’re not prone to going it alone, and having a mate at your side is key.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, associates and friends have been cautious and guarded, leading you to believe you should act the same way. Don’t follow the crowd.
