Volleyball team takes 2nd place USS boys fall in finals to Duncan Christian ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Ucluelet Secondary School’s senior boys volleyball team placed second at last week’s Vancouver Island Championships.

The Single A tournament included Esquimalt’s Ecole Victor-Brodeur, Brookes Shawnigan Lake, Chemainus Secondary School, Duncan Christian and Ucluelet.

The USS squad cruised through a three game round robin to start off their championship bid before running into a strong Duncan Christian team in the finals, according to USS head coach Bryan Grigg.

“For the first three games, we played very nice and controlled. The serving was great. The defence was great. They were picking up a lot of loose balls and anything that was getting thrown over, they were passing it up well and using the point,” Grigg said. “Duncan Christian recognized the strengths that we had on our team and was able to make adjustments on their side to challenge our strengths and they played to some of our challenges.”

He said USS charged to an early five-point lead in the first set of the finals, but Duncan Christian’s Matt Brandsma—who was later crowned the championships’ MVP— went on a “serving tear” that earned his team the lead and the match.

Male tourist dies at Wickaninnish Beach ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Tragedy struck the West Coast on Remembrance Day when a 48 year-old man died in the water off Wickaninnish Beach around 4 p.m. Saturday.

“It seems like it was a medical incident that happened while he was in the water,” Const. Matthew Crist of the

Ucluelet RCMP told the Westerly News. “Efforts were made by bystanders, as well as paramedics who attended the scene, to revive him, but, unfortunately, they weren’t successful.”

The man, whose identity has not been released, was not a resident of the West Coast, Crist said.

“It’s an ongoing coroner’s investigation but, at this point, there’s no foul play suspected so police are assisting the coroner,” Crist said.

The community’s assistance helped Ucluelet police make short work of a crime-spree investigation last week.

A man believed to have arrived in Ucluelet on Tuesday, Nov. 7, was arrested the next day in connection to multiple thefts from parked vehicles between Nov. 7 and Nov. 8.

The man was arrested in the downtown area around 1:30 p.m. on Nov. 8 and Sgt. Steve Mancini told the WestSgt. Steve Mancini erly News that the majority of items that were reported stolen, including a camera, a wetsuit and roughly $1,200 cash, have been returned.

“I’m just happy that we were able to get everyone’s stuff back and thankful to the community for stepping up and helping us out by providing us with the information that ultimately led to the arrest of our person responsible,” Mancini said. “Once we get everybody’s belongings back, we’ll prepare a report to the Crown attorney requesting formal charges be laid against this individual.”

He said the investigation was assisted by surveillance footage from a local business that captured clear images of a man rummaging through vehicles.

“We received information to the detachment that gave us a place where we might want to start looking and we followed up with that and, sure enough, we were able to locate the person and went from there,” he said. “It was a combination

“I’m just happy we were able to get everyone’s stuff back and thankful to the community for stepping up and helping us out...”

– Sgt. Steve Mancini

of surveillance footage from local businesses, people reporting specific items [stolen] as well as just concerned locals with knowledge that was able to push us in the right direction.”

He said the suspect is not a local and is believed to have acted alone.

“He may have had somebody with him, but all evidence and all indication that we have is that it was one person that was going around and actually taking the items from the vehicles,” he said.

He added reports of stolen items and suspicious activity are invaluable to police and encourages anyone who sees anything out of the ordinary to reach out to the Ucluelet RCMP detachment at 250-726-7773.

“It’s huge. We need people to report. I know a lot of times people don’t want to bother us or they don’t want to call the police, but we were able to get the majority of the items back just based on the fact that it was reported,” he said.

“We can’t be expected to solve crimes that we don’t know about. This was definitely a good example of, when stuff is reported and the community helps out, we can solve some of these matters pretty quickly and we were fortunate enough to get everybody’s stuff back.”

Teen monologues in Ukee Performances coming to UCC in December ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Ucluetian teens are poised to get personal with their community.

Courtney Johnson is excited to present her new project, The Teen Monologues, on Dec. 1 and Dec. 2 with doors opening at 6 p.m. both nights.

The project is a bit of a change of pace for Johnson, who co-founded the Ukee Glee Kids program, and she told the Westerly News that she’s thrilled to provide a venue for 10 local teenagers to express their voice.

“It’s a theatre production where the teens are talking about a lot of issues and a Courtney Johnson lot of things that they have going on and things that are just going on in the world generally today,” she said. “I hope you wear waterproof mascara and bring tissues because it is really emotional to watch these kids up on stage talking about relationships and parents or talking about racism they experience or talking about what it was like to come out or talking about dealing with depression…There’s a lot of uplifting stories too. It’s not just one big drama train of tears.”

She said it’s important for local adults to listen to the next generation’s perspective and added that today’s teens are constantly adapting to a rapidly changing social environment.

“I consider myself incredibly lucky to have met them and to be part of their lives.”

– Courtney Johnson

“We can all remember what it’s like to be a teenager but that doesn’t mean that we know what it’s like to be a teen today…There’s a lot of very, very revolutionary changes that are happening and I kind of wanted to see what teens thought about life right now in general,” she said. “It turns out that they have a lot to say. I was absolutely blown away.”

She hopes locals come out to hear their community’s future leaders speak.

“I consider myself incredibly lucky to have met them and to be part of their lives…I’m excited about the younger generation that’s coming,” she said.

“There is something about the youth on the coast that really is different than youth that I’ve encountered in other places. There really is something quite special about them. I would imagine that once they graduate they go out in the world and try to find their own little mark as little fledglings, those qualities of being local to Ucluelet is something that is noticed. Even if people aren’t really sure what it is that they’re noticing, I think that that difference stands out in a very positive way.”

Whale Festival needs support McEwen says 2018 could be final year

MID ISLAND REALTY Ucluelet / Tofino midislandrealty.com

ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

The Pacific Rim Whale Festival needs your help.

The volunteer board that puts the West Coast’s popular springtime event together is dwindling and, without reinforcements, board member Marilyn McEwen fears next year’s 32nd annual festival may be the last.

“I don’t want to see this festival end.

It’s been going for more than 25 years but, without people putting their names forward to help on the board, it is going to end,” she said. “If people don’t come forward to join the board, this could be the last year.”

She said the Pacific Rim Whale Festival Society’s board of directors has 12 portfolios to handle, but consistently runs at half-capacity.

“There’s 12 hats that directors can wear and in the last few years we’ve only had six directors on the board,” she said. “That puts a real strain on the coordinator because any of those hats that a director’s not wearing gets put onto the coordinator.”

She said the board only has three active members currently and taking on the work of 12 is burning them out.

“The board plans the entire festival and they start in November so by the time the festival comes around in March everything is in place,” she said. “Everything needs to be planned ahead of time.”

She added putting the two-week festival together is tough work, but offers rewarding opportunities for anyone willing to put the time in.

“We want people that are willing to roll up their sleeves,” she said adding she’s hoping to see representation from

The West Coast’s Pacific Rim Whale Festival needs some committed volunteer reinforcements. both Ucluelet and Tofino as well as a more buy-in from local organizations like local Destination Marketing Organizations and chambers of commerce.

“All those entities, one-by-one, have just sort of dropped off…It would be great to have buy-in from those entities again because that really helps with licensing and making sure that everything in both towns is running the way it needs to.”

She added it would be great to see local businesses get more involved and help support the event that pours visitors into hotels, restaurants and shops during the offseason.

“Spring break does bring people here, but it’s still kind of wintery. The weather can go any which way in March so it’s not necessarily that the hotels are going to be full because it’s not high season

yet,” she said adding the festival is “a way to kick off the tourist season and get people here.”

Anyone interested in getting involved can attend the Pacific Rim Whale Festival Society’s Annual General Meeting on Thursday at 7 p.m. inside the Black Rock Resort’s Wine Cellar or reach out through the festival’s website at www. pacificrimwhalefestival.com.

McEwen said joining the board is a great way for locals to immerse themselves in their community.

“The reason I joined the board 20 years ago was because I was new to town and I thought, ‘What better way to meet people than to put my name forward for a board of directors for a festival that sounded like it would be really fun to plan?’” she said. “It’s a super festival for locals and visitors alike.”

USS boys eye spot in provincials

From A1 Grigg said the second game saw USS fall to a quick eight-point deficit, which he was proud to see his team claw their way back from.

“We were running effective, high level attacks, but the defense on the Duncan Christian side was able to dig them. We played well but, on that day, we just got beat,” he said adding that even with their season potentially under the guillotine, the USS boys kept their composure.

“With a provincial berth on the line and first place in the Islands on the line, instead of seizing up and panicking, they really settled down and just started to play within themselves and running fixed plays and tandem plays…They were playing their game and doing well.

Unfortunately Duncan Christian was able to dig those attacks.”

The win earned Duncan Christian a spot in the B.C. Provincial Championships in Kamloops at the end of November. USS is not eliminated from provincials contention just yet though as their second place finish earned them

Site C decision a big test for John Horgan’s NDP It may seem far away to most readers, but the Site C dam decision facing the B.C. NDP government will affect you in more ways than just your electricity bill.

We’ve just had the latest round of overheated news coverage on the most expensive construction project ever undertaken in B.C., centred around the shocking revelation that the third dam on the Peace River is behind schedule and over budget.

Of course those who were paying attention knew this weeks before, when B.C. Hydro CEO Chris O’Riley confirmed it in a letter to the B.C.

Note the word “could.” Geothermal energy is Green Party leader Andrew Weaver’s favourite topic these days, but nobody really knows how much that would cost to develop and connect to the B.C. Hydro grid.

As for “industrial curtailment,” that means shutting down mills and mines.

The Horgan hardhat tour would likely be put on hold for a while.

Green Party leader Andrew Weaver has allowed that he won’t defeat the B.C. NDP government if it proceeds with Site C. But he continues to insist that thousands of new electric cars can be recharged with wind and solar power.

An open letter to Catherine McKenna, Federal Minister of Environment and Climate Change.

I am writing to ask why the philosophy of the Pacific Rim National Park has changed.

For years, the goal has been to protect the animals and the forest. Now, they are falling trees to build a 25-kilometre paved path through the forest and through the territory of the animals.

That is a change in priorities.

Fantastic idea.

BAD IDEA TO TROT OUT SANTA CLAUS BEFORE REMEMBRANCE DAY: It’s a bad idea to trot out Santa Claus before December.

Johanna McMenemy Remembrance Day not withstanding Christmas doesn’t need to be trot out till closer to end of November, 6 weeks of Santa/Christmas is more than enough. As far as using before Remembrance Day as the excuse, veterans fought for our freedom. One has nothing to do with the other. Honour veterans by wearing a Poppy and attending ceremonies if you can. My grandfather was a veteran and thus discussion came up his legion, and 100 % of the veterans at his legion did not care if you decorate before or after Remembrance Day, just just want to be recognized for their efforts, by wearing a Poppy, and attending a service.

Local artist Justin Merk works the nose of a longboard on his new surfboard mural commissioned by Howler’s Family Restaurant. Merk completed the large and colourful piece last week.

Vibrant surfboard mural pops ups in Ukee Life-sized wall of boards aims to inspire people to play outside

NORA O’MALLEY nora.omalley@westerlynews.ca

Ucluelet artist Justin Merk completed a colourful work of public art on the side of Howler’s Family Restaurant last week.

From a red Gerry Lopez lightning surfboard, to stand up paddleboards, to boogie boards and skim boards, to modern shortboards, the 140-foot mural depicts an assortment of 60 personalized boards.

“It’s appropriate for Howler’s,” said Merk, who holds a bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design from OCAD University in Toronto. “It’s playing on the idea that all these boards are on the side of the building because everyone is inside eating a burger.”

“Seeing this mural on our wall just gives me the most wonderful feeling inside.”

– Amie Shimizu The idea for the piece came about from a trip Merk took to southern California for a wedding.

“The house we were staying in, we were 15 in the house, I was lucky I got the kids’ room with a finding Nemo bed,” he recalls.

“In that room, there was a silhouette of surfboards painted on the wall that the kids had done. I thought that was so cool.

That idea sat in the back of my mind.”

Howler’s co-owner Amie Shimizu said she is super happy with the cartoonish

painting.

“Seeing this mural on our wall just gives me the most wonderful feeling inside. I feel like it really represents Ucluelet, us, our restaurant, this town and how it’s growing,” said Shimizu, adding that she hopes the mural will encourage more people to get in the water. “[Surfing] is a sport for everybody of all ages, just like our restaurant is a place for everyone of all ages. I think it’s kind of cool how it ties it all together.”

Merk, 29, said it took him about 150 hours to complete the life-sized wall of surfboards and that he used a mixture of traditional brush and graffiti to get the job done.

“If people had doubts that [Ucluelet] was a surf town, they won’t anymore as

they’re driving through,” said the artist whose own first surfboard was a pink, longboard amicably called ‘Lipstick’.

While the board wall outside Howler’s is certainly Merk’s largest creation to date, the young artist is no stranger to largescale commissions. Last year, he created a 70-foot gray whale in the restaurant’s bowling alley.

Merk also has other pieces of unique art peppered throughout the town. Relic Surfshop has a face pop-in billboard made

by Merk and he painted an intricate cat mural for Taco Jefe Mexican restaurant.

“I would love to do more,” he said.

“Whether it be here or in a bigger city, I’m always looking for projects.”

Soulful singer delights Maureen Washington warms intimate room ERIN LINN MCMULLAN Special to the Westerly

In the intimacy of ‘Tofino’s living room,’ powerhouse jazz and blues singer, Maureen Washington swept the audience up in an emotional journey.

Washington’s soulful Harvest Moon tour kicked off the 18th season of the popular West Coast Winter Music series at Clayoquot Sound Community Theatre on November 4.

If heartbreak is at the root of every great love song, Washington’s poignant confessional shared hers, explaining how the name of her tour and latest CD paid homage to her great love for, and loss of, her husband, Darryl Schultz to cancer. Schultz used to join her to dance onstage, and later, via IPad, from his hospital bed just weeks before he passed away. Her riveting original, “Wait a little longer,” composed with writing partner Daniel Cook about letting her husband go moved the audience to tears. To lean into the lyrics and dance, Washington shucked off her heels in favour of flip-flops – a gesture in keeping with her “relaxed” show’s signature.

While Washington tapped into this deep well of love, the evening was far from sombre and offered surprises with her renditions of Sting’s “Fragile,” Joni Mitchell’s “A Case of You” and a unique twist on Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah,” arranged by pianist, Karel Roessingh. The mood was often playful during her repartee with her band as she held her notes longer and longer and as she described her BC Interior-inspired

preference for flannel — despite the bling and bedazzled water bottle punctuating her onstage elegance.

This genuineness enabled Washington to get away with a mock-stern “Mama said” as she urged the crowd to sing-along with the chorus of “To Love Somebody,” to steal a kiss from bassist, Joey Smith and offer teasing instruction to the sound tech to turn all but her own mic down. Instead, the singer’s give and take with her band evidenced respect, especially as she stepped back to let solo spots on the piano, bass and drums shine.

Washington builds that audience bond with honesty. “With most songs there is a piece of my own life that resonates with the song and I’m willing to sing the song from that place.”

Afterwards, Washington could be seen in the lobby enveloping each of her fans in a big hug, like that warm connection in the little Black Box theatre on a drizzly, winter night.

“We’re lucky to have music of this quality in Tofino,” said Mayor Josie Osborne.

Alberni Clayoquot Regional District (ACRD) – West Coast Multiplex Survey Communities* on the west coast have, for some time, been considering the construction of a multiplex facility through the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District in partnership with the West Coast Multiplex Society.

The first phase of the multiplex will contain an ice rink (along with seating, change rooms, and meeting spaces) that can be converted to a dry surface for community events, indoor sports, or to be used as an emergency shelter.

Capital construction costs are intended to be paid through grants and donors. The annual operational costs will be paid in part by area property owners through taxation to the ACRD. The ACRD is seeking your feedback. A short survey has been mailed out to registered property owners in the survey area, and each envelope contains a stamped, self-addressed envelope for the return of the survey to the ACRD. If you are not a registered property owner, if you do not receive a copy, or if more than one person in your household would like to fill out the survey, please go to

www.acrd.bc.ca/westcoast-multiplex-project and click on the link that says Multiplex Survey.

The ACRD is working with faculty and students from VIU to analyze your responses, with a final report anticipated in December 2017. Let us know what you think on moving forward with this project by responding to the survey by Friday, November 24th, 2017.

* “Communities” includes the governments that signed a memorandum of understanding on the multiplex: Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District, Electoral Area “C” (Long Beach), Tla-o-quiaht First Nation, Ahousaht First Nation, Yuułuʔiłʔatḥ Government, Hesquiaht First Nation, Toquaht First Nation, District of Tofino and District of Ucluelet.

Oyster festival scaled back Organizers reflect on last year’s norovirus outbreak DREW PENNER Special to the Westerly

Despite last year’s local celebration of oysters having led to the infection of over 100 people with norovirus, ground zero for the 400 people who caught the vomiting-bug across Canada, a few local restaurants are carrying on the two-decade tradition in a scaled-back festival that will kick off this weekend.

And, while some participants in this year’s miniaturized program admit little has changed to guard against shellfish consumption risks, they say they hope the events can help educate the public on the realities of oyster cultivation.

“It was just a big gathering of the community,” said Bobby Lax, one of the organizers of the Clayoquot Oyster Festival, referring to the dozen or so restaurants that would take part.

“We’ve just decided that this year would be kind of like a bridge year.”

Gone are the vivacious costumes of the Mermaids Ball, as well as the frenetic voting on which local culinary artist has the best oyster preparation techniques. The minds behind the fest are taking a breather to rebuild, and some of the chefs who’ve decided to offer up oysters this year’s productions, say they hope to see municipal and legislative changes brought in to safeguard an industry so close to Tofino’s economic heart.

ACRD launches West Coast Multiplex survey

Locals asked if they still support tax increase on referendum’s fifth anniversary ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

The West Coast Multiplex Society is hoping to celebrate the fifth anniversary of its successful referendum by renewing its vows with West Coasters.

Five years after the West Coast voted on Nov. 24, 2012, to cover the annual operating costs of a multiplex facility through property taxation, a survey is being circulated by the Alberni Clayoquot Regional District that’s asking locals if they’d like to reconsider.

The ACRD is distribJosie Osborne uting a West Coast Multiplex survey, both online and in the mail, that lays out interior and exterior designs as well as anticipated costs for phase one of the project, an ice rink. Phase two, a swimming pool, is not present in the survey.

The rink, a proposed full-sized ice-hockey sheet that could be covered to provide space for sports, community events or concerts, would be built next to Long Beach Airport and cost between $14 million to $18 million to construct, according to the survey.

Construction costs are expected to be paid for through donations and grants, but the 2012 referendum allows up to

$450,000 of the facility’s annual operating costs to come from property taxes. That’s roughly 19 to 26 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value, according to the survey, which notes a $500,000 property would see an annual property tax increase of about $93-$128.

The survey, and the tabulation of its responses, is expected to cost the ACRD roughly $5,000 and its results will be released in December, according to the regional district’s Chief Administrative Officer Doug Holmes.

Holmes explained that 2012’s referendum gave the ACRD’s board of directors legal permission to raise taxes to cover a multiplex’s operational costs and that there’s no impediment to proceeding, as long as the West Coast communities still want to proceed.

“We can. The question is whether we should,” Holmes told the Westerly News.

“What the referendum did was it gave the board the legal authority to proceed. That doesn’t mean it has to proceed. It just has the legal authority to do so.”

Tofino mayor Josie Osborne said it’s important to make sure everyone’s on the same page with regards to spending their tax dollars to operate a multiplex.

“This is an opportunity for the ACRD to do a public opinion survey to see: is there still as much support as there was? Is there more? Is there less? Should we move ahead with the project?,” she said.

“Some really big decisions are going to be made, in part, as a result of this survey.”

– Josie Osborne “There’s no doubt in my mind that everyone is incredibly supportive of creating better recreation opportunities for the community. We just want to make sure that we’re doing the best we can with the limited dollars that people have.”

She added some concerns have been raised over whether referendum voters were clear on what they were voting for in 2012 and that some locals have expressed confusion over the West Coast Multiplex Society’s phased approach, which would see an ice rink built first and a swimming pool second.

“Consistent feedback over the last six years has been, ‘I thought it was this or I thought it was that and the regional district thought it was important to go back out to the residents and property owners to say ‘OK, this is exactly what we’re proposing. We’re proposing an ice rink facility. Do you still support it?” Osborne said. “It’s extremely important that we hear back from the biggest percentage of residents and property owners that we can so that we can feel confident in the survey results…Because, some really big decisions are going to be made, in part, as a result of this survey.”

West Coast Multiplex Society Chair Samantha Hackett hopes the survey produces positive responses that build momentum for the project and help launch fundraising efforts for the facility’s construction.

“This hopefully gets everybody super stoked and talking about it. A successful survey means we can hit the ground running with fundraising and that we don’t have to go back to the drawing board,” she said.

“We don’t want to spend another five years planning. We want to fundraise and we want to get this building built.

A successful survey means we can start that right away.”

She said the society is confident the survey’s feedback will show as much support as 2012’s referendum, which passed in a 679-395 vote, but added plans could be tweaked based on the feedback received.

“The society is hoping and anticipating that there’s more support for the project because of all the work that’s been done and just how close we are with the project,” she said.

“We know that the support is there for the intention, but maybe we have to change some of the specifics.”

She added that, “if everything lines up perfectly,” construction on the rink could potentially start in 2018, but added that, “Realistically, we’re probably breaking ground in 2019.”

Organizers optimistic From A9 Diners are encouraged to wear their best whites and pearls to the $59 event.

While Oyster Fest organizers say norovirus could have been introduced by an attendee, and BC Centre for Disease Control researchers suggest ocean currents may have contaminated oyster farms on both the East and West coast of Vancouver Island with sewage, Moran believes government red tape contributed.

“I think it’s the processing plants,” he said, explaining that instead of getting to inspect their own oysters, producers have to send shellfish off to a third-party intermediary before consumers can slurp back the bivalve meat—an extra layer where contamination could occur. “It doesn’t matter how much care and attention the oysters are harvested in and what they do to be within food safe regulations…They’re still relying on the processing plants to bag and tag their oysters.”

He’d like to see politicians prioritize the food system, allowing shellfish producers to have more control over their product.

Executive Chef Warren Barr says the previous incarnation of Oyster Fest provided a real

wake up call.

“Unfortunately, after last year’s festival, we know a number of people had fallen ill and the results of that greatly affected the participants, the hospitality providers, and was a devastating blow to the Salish oyster industry,” he said, adding norovirus is just one of many health issues related to global food production that have come to light in the past decade. “The oyster industry has responded with even more strict standards and frequency of sampling and testing.”

But, the local hospitality industry must remain vigilant about hygiene procedures, Barr stresses, underlining the importance of Tofino’s planned sewage treatment facility, which is meant to stop the flow of nearly-raw sewage into the ocean.

“We most certainly take the health of our guests very seriously and ensure we are purchasing from quality suppliers to reduce any potential risks,” he said.

“We are optimistic that the Clayoquot Oyster Festival will carry on and continue to be a drawing card for culinary aficionados for many years to come.”

Meteorite fragments found in the Kootenays TYLER HARPER Black Press

Doug Anderson has a hard time believing that a piece of meteorite, which travelled throughout space and exploded over Kootenay Lake in September, somehow landed in his backyard.

Anderson and his wife Beverly own 20 acres of land near Crawford Bay. Just like hundreds of other observers from across Western Canada and the United States, the pair witnessed the fireball flash across the sky and explode on the evening of Sept. 4.

“It was unbelievable how close that was to us,” said Anderson. “It lit up the house for about five seconds, maybe even longer.

Then I went upstairs to our deck and the sonic boom was bellowing down the lake.

It was quite a phenomenon. We had no idea really what it was.”

Nor did they have any idea a fragment of that meteorite would plummet into their land.

A piece smaller than a nickel was found Oct. 29 on the Anderson’s property by a team of researchers from the University of Calgary. Anderson had previously been contacted by Alan Hildebrand, a planetary scientist at the university, who asked permission to take a look.

“I said, ‘Why us? Out of all the millions of acres around here, why are you keen on our property to start with?’ [Hildebrand] said they have various methods of tracking the fireball,” said Anderson.

Those methods were detailed in a statement released Nov. 9. Hildebrand’s team said an asteroid weighing one to five tonnes and a metre wide turned into a fireball when it hit the atmosphere near Priest Lake, Idaho.

According to the statement, the fireball then travelled across the U.S.-Canada border, passing Creston before exploding near Crawford Bay. To find fragments of the meteorite, researchers examined four videos submitted from the public and used footage from a dedicated all-sky camera at Cranbrook’s College of the Rockies to triangulate its likely landing spot. That ended up being an area of 20 kilometres east of Crawford Bay and northwest across Bluebell Mountain to the north shore of Riondel.

The first piece found was on Anderson’s land, but he said Hildebrand’s team discovered fragments on several other nearby properties as well.

One of those properties belongs to Roswitha Strom. She’s lived on her 40-acre lot for over three decades, and only heard about the fireball through the news after sleeping through it.

“I didn’t think they’d find anything, but it’s hard to tell,” said Strom. “If that thing was as close as going over the peninsula out here then there’s a good chance that it did spew some off the side. I really didn’t think that they’d find anything, but they did.”

Strom said three pieces were found by the team, who used a tractor to scour her land.

Research student Fabio Ciceri holds a fragment of the meteorite that exploded in September.

“It’s like ploughing, except you’ve got these bars of magnets instead of the plough,” she said.

Nine fragments of the Crawford Bay meteorite, which is a type of rock called chondrite, have been found so far by Hildebrand and his assistants Fabio Ciceri and Lincoln Hanton.

Hildebrand, who has been searching for meteorites since 1994, told the Starone might land in Canada once every five years. The fragments can show everything

from what’s occurring in an asteroid field to how elements are made in what he calls stellar environments.

“They are irreplaceable bits of data about the origin of our solar system,” he said.

Hildebrand said he plans on returning to Crawford Bay to continue the hunt for more fragments.

“It’s not just a rock to put on your shelf,” he said. “They bring all kinds of information for us.”

Pacific Coastal adds daily flight to Tofino NEWS STAFF Black Press

Pacific Coastal Airlines has announced a daily afternoon service between Vancouver and Tofino beginning April 3.

The 45-minute flight will operate seven days a week, leaving Vancouver International Airport at 3 p.m. and arriving at the Tofino Long Beach Airport at 3:45 p.m. It departs YAZ at 4:15 p.m. arriving back at YVR at 5 p.m.

“The Alberni-Clayoquot region has long been an attractive destination for both domestic and international visitors and we believe that there is now sufficient

travel needs to sustain additional air service to the Tofino/Long Beach Airport which serves Tofino, Ucluelet, and the surrounding area,” said Pacific Coastal’s director of business development and corporate communications Kevin Boothroyd. “We will work together with local communities, tour operators, and other stakeholders to drive brand awareness of this new service over the next few years.”

Pacific Coastal plans to draw customers to Tofino through its well-established network of B.C. destinations. The new route is already listed on the Global Distribution System and available for booking to more than 180,000 travel agencies across

the globe. In addition to this, the public can also book the Vancouver to Tofino flight through online travel agencies such as Kayak and Expedia or directly on the airline’s website at pacificcoastal.com.

Pacific Coastal will employ the 19 passenger pressurized turboprop Beech 1900 aircraft on the new route.

The 1900 offers comfortable seating, generous cargo capacity, and is designed to operate in all weather conditions.

Residents and officials within the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District and surrounding area are supportive of the new service.

“The scheduled flights will be a wonderful asset to our busy and growing area.”

– Dianne St. Jacques “Our west coast communities are very excited to welcome Pacific Coastal Airlines to the Long Beach Airport,” said Dianne St Jacques, chair of the West Coast Committee and mayor of Ucluelet.

“The scheduled flights will be a wonderful asset to our busy and growing area.”

She has her mother’s eyes, cheekbones, and prescription amphetamines.
