Helipad returns

Tofino hospital’s seven year wait nearly over ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Tofino General Hospital’s seven-year wait for a new helipad will soon be over.

Island Health, the Tofino General Hospital Foundation and the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District issued a joint announcement last week that assures helicopter access to and from the hospital will resume in 2019.

“I know that hospital staff, emergency personnel, physicians and community members alike share a sense of relief and gratitude that the helipad is returning to the Tofino General Hospital,” said Tofino mayor Josie Osborne through the announcement. “It’s a critical piece of infrastructure that has been challenging to live without, and we welcome its return.”

The hospital has been without a helipad since December 2011, when Transport Canada shut down the existing helipad due to safety concerns.

“Since the closure of the helipad, patient transfers that require transport by air have taken place at the Tofino Airport, located about 15 kilometers from Tofino General Hospital. Ground transportation of other patients not requiring air transport continues by road,” Island Health interim executive director Marie Duperreault told the Westerly News.

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) has proposed a 139,700 kilometre square Marine Protected Area (MPA) offshore of Vancouver Island to protect biologically significant seafloor features, including seamounts and hydrothermal vents.

At its closest, the proposed MPA is located about 80 km from the West Coast of Vancouver Island, but on average it is 100-150 km from the Coast.

Joy Hillier, a biologist and coastal zone management co-ordinator for DFO, was in Ucluelet on Tuesday to share information on the ecological importance of the area.

“The features that we are trying to protect in the offshore are the vents and seamounts.

They are, kind of, like the trees of the ocean in that they create that structure that other species can use and they also clean the water.

They filter it. They are, kind of, like the lungs of the ocean,” said Hillier.

A 150-page report called ‘Identification of Ecologically and Biologically Significant Areas in Canada’s Offshore Pacific Bioregion’ written by 15 academic and government scientists containing information from more than 400 scientific publications demonstrates the importance of seamounts and vents.

“It shows us that they are very rare. They are important to different life history stages for a variety of species. Threatened species are also known to use these threatened areas. We also know, based on their geomorphology that they are vulnerable in that they can be impacted by human activity,” said Hillier.

A downside to the proposed MPA is that it would prohibit any activities that has bottom

“There are some people on the advisory that would like to see a ‘no go zone’ for all shipping and all boats.”

– Tony Bennett contact with the groundfloor of the ocean, according to Hillier.

“All longline fishing and bottom trawling,” she said.

With the agreements the government has signed under the United Nations Law of Convention at Sea, it is unlikely to see the proposed MPA a ‘no go zone’, notes Hillier. However, Electoral Area “C” (Long Beach) director Tony Bennett, who sits on the advisory committee for the proposed offshore marine protected area, said that issue is up for discussion.

“There are some people on the advisory that would like to see a ‘no go zone’ for all shipping and all boats,” Bennett said. “The Minister will make the final decision.”

The Offshore Pacific proposed MPA makes up about 2.43 per cent of Canada’s ocean territory.

“The government of Canada is working towards having this area declared a MPA by the end of 2020,” said Hillier, adding that there is still a lot of work to do and that they are going through consultation processes with stakeholders.

“As we move ahead towards the designation process the piece of legislation that is being developed will be out for [public] review,” she said.

A message to a representative in the groundfishing industry was not returned by press time.

Optimism high at ribbon cutting to celebrate new water system ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

The Canadian Government and Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation shared an optimism for future partnerships during a ribbon-cutting event in Ty-Histanis on Monday.

Canada’s Environment Minister Catherine McKenna joined Tla-oqui-aht First Nation members and Parks Canada staff in Ty-Histanis to celebrate the completion of a new water system that will be shared by the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve and the Tla-o-qui-aht communities of Ty-Histanis and Esowista.

The new water system includes two new wells, a chlorination system, and new waterlines.

Parks Canada, Indigenous Services and the Tla-o-qui-aht have been working together since 1998 to put the approximately $12 million system together, with Parks Canada contributing $5 million to the project, according to Pacific Rim National Park Reserve Superintendent Karen Haugen.

“I am extremely happy about announcing this water system today. It shows how collectively and collaboratively we can create something that will provide safe, clean, water for so many to help communities to grow and to help visitors come and feel safe in the area,” Haugen told the Westerly News at the event. “It is an extremely awesome opportunity for everybody…This opens the door for further economic opportunities.”

It was McKenna’s first visit to the West Coast and she told the West-

erly that she enjoyed meeting with the First Nation and the two governments shared a mutual desire to pursue future projects together.

“I learned a lot…These relationships are very personal. You need to meet people in person and look them in the eye and have real conversations,” McKenna said. “The Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation is very

practical. They are looking at tangible measures that enhance the connection between Parks Canada, but also the opportunities for the community to benefit in an economic way and that is something that is really important.”

Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation councillor Corinne Ortiz-Castro said Monday’s event was an important step in building a positive relationship between the First Nation and federal government.

“This event is very special to us. It’s very valuable to us to have clean water for our people, for a healthier future and for our tourists as well that come here every year,” she said.

“I’m looking forward to going in a positive way after this positive step for our people.”

Tla-o-qui-aht councillor Joe Martin said he was happy with the announcement, but expressed concern over current logging activity and said more monitoring is needed to ensure the local water supply is protected.

“Clean water has been one of the most important aspects of all life,” he said. “What’s happening in our watershed is going to affect us…When we look at the children that are in our communities, we are the ones making decisions for them. It’s important to monitor what’s going on in the watershed.”

Helipad announcement brings relief From A1 Duperreault would not disclose the amount that’s been budgeted to build the new helipad, but said a Request for Proposals will be issued in the coming weeks for contractors to bid on the project.

“Once the tender is awarded, we can Josie Osborne share more specific details about the cost,” she said.

Island Health has agreed to cover

“Island Health is extremely pleased the helipad is underway.”

– Leah Hollins

60 per cent of the cost with the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional Hospital District covering the remaining 40 per cent.

“Island Health is extremely pleased the helipad is underway,” said Leah Hollins, Chair of the Island Health Board of Directors.

“We know helicopter access to Tofino General Hospital is a priority

for residents of the West Coast of Vancouver Island and we appreciate the community support and feedback we received during our planning process.”

The new helipad will be installed on Tofino General Hospital Foundation lands neighbouring the hospital in approximately the same area as the old one had been, according to the announcement.

“The community has been clear that a helipad at Tofino General Hospital is an important part of the health-care picture for this region and it is great news that this project is moving forward,” said Health Minister Adrian Dix in the

announcement. “Once in place, this helipad will help ensure that the most critically ill patients are able to get to the care they need as quickly as possible.”

The announcement adds that Island Health consulted with local stakeholders in 2016 before developing the plan for a new helipad.

“The helipad will help to ensure residents and visitors to Tofino have access to critical emergency care if they need it,” said Mid-Island-Pacific Rim MLA Scott Fraser. “It will complement the already top-notch care provided by our health care professionals at Tofino General Hospital.”

EDITORIAL

Mother orca’s grief sends powerful message The image of an orca mother pushing her dead calf through the ocean for 17 days is etched in the minds of many.

Raw, painful, heart-wrenching.

As she mourns the death of her child, other orcas in her family come to support her, taking turns holding up the body of her baby, honouring and holding space for her grief.

This is, according to those who study whales, a common ritual. But this recent embodiment of a mother’s pain apparently went on longer than usual. So long that, through technology, the whole world witnessed her grief – empathizing,

puzzling, marvelling, questioning.

Observers wondered when she would stop.

Would her grief kill her?

Some pundits could be heard discussing how this prolonged ritual was evidence of orcas’ ability to feel ‘human’ emotions. Evidence of how these mammals are highly ‘evolved.’

Others commented on the size of orcas’ brains, how intelligent they are – compared to humans.

One opinion – one that would align with what indigenous people have been living for millennia – struck home.

This orca was going to display her grief until

humans would notice, really notice, what they are doing to the waters her baby was born in.

Notice how orcas have among the highest levels of pollution of marine mammals, their blubber laced with PCBs, pesticides and other chemical toxins. Notice how orcas can’t reproduce and ultimately survive in oceans that are home to sewage, chemicals, plastics, oil and more. Notice how malnutrition is becoming more common due to a decline in salmon. Notice how orcas, with complex dialects and echolocation, can’t forage and communicate properly in competition with vessel noise.

Notice how plans to continue down the path of oil – with its accompanying warmer oceans and inevitable spills – are deadly.

Notice how her babies, how human babies, how all living creatures are going to keep dying if humans don’t put the Earth at the centre of every single decision made.

The grief of this orca mother may not be visible anymore, but the image she etched in our collective psyche must remain if our collective life on this planet is to continue.

Sir John A was our first Prime Minister, he was raised in a different time. Canada has issued an official apology to the indigenous people, money has been allocated. I’m sure if he was around now he would think differently.

intense than it was in the past,” and that he supported a ban during the summer months.

Tofino’s Chief Administrative Officer Bob MacPherson said a ban would be difficult for the district’s bylaw officers to enforce and that district staff would need some time to put a feasible strategy together.

“Banning beach fires is challenging to enforce at night,” he said. “We have to make sure that we’re putting in place the right mechanisms so that we can actually enforce it.”

Coun. Dorothy Baert spoke against a beach fire ban.

She said more rigorous education programs alerting beachgoers to the fact that driftwood is not to be used for fires would be a better route to take, but added that it would not be fair for local taxpayers to cover the associated costs and that funding should come from Tourism Tofino’s budget.

“Just going, ‘Well, we have a problem. So, we’re just going to ban it,’ is not a solution because the problem is just going to come somewhere else,” she said. “I think we need to try to find a solution and get our partner in the tourism economy that we have to try to pony up with some solutions as well.”

Mayor Josie Osborne said burnt logs are scattered throughout the beach, which could be giving visitors the impression that it is okay to burn them and asked whether the district could remove burnt logs.

Thorogood did not support banning camp fires, but agreed with Osborne that the district should remove burnt logs at least once a year.

Council agreed to direct staff to investigate options for beach fire regulations, education and enforcement and present a report no later than February of 2019 so that a strategy could be in place before next year’s summer season.

Simon Fraser University graduate student Jessica Edwards, right, and Nuu-chah-nulth research technicians Tristen Seitcher and Dom Charlie hold out a handful of gooseneck barnacles retrieved in Clayoquot Sound. The data from Edwards’ research will be used to help improve the sustainability of the First Nations managed gooseneck fishery.

Gooseneck barnacle study underway

Project partners DFO, T’aaq-wiihak Fisheries, and Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council NORA O’MALLEY nora.omalley@westerlynews.ca

Gooseneck barnacles, or Ca?inwa as called in traditional Nuu-chah-nulth First Nations language, are peculiar looking crustaceans that many say resemble dinosaur toes.

Harvesting the clam-tasting culinary delicacy is dangerous work as goosenecks are only accessible at the lowest of tides and thrive on rocks surrounded by fast moving water.

For Jessica Edwards, MSc Candidate in the Earth to Ocean Research Group at Simon Fraser University, that means scheduling her monthly research trips to the T’aaq-wiihak

“They definitely make for an adventurous dining experience,” – Jessica Edwards gooseneck fishery around the new moon.

“In May, we had to clear all our plots. So we actually hauled 500 pounds of biomass total off of six rocks,” said Edwards.

“We took it all; barnacles, muscles, and acorn barnacles as well because we are trying to get an idea of how long it takes for them to grow back, but also what the by-catch is. We counted everything.”

Over the next two years, Edwards will monitor 42 plots with the help of T’aaq-wiihak’s primary harvester Billy George and biologist Jared Dick. The goal of the gooseneck project, she states, is to improve our understanding of the ecology and sustainability of the gooseneck barnacle fishery in Clayoquot Sound.

“I imagine that my work will confirm the traditional knowledge that is already out there,” said the self-proclaimed intertidal invertebrate lover. “The harvesters are extremely knowledgeable on how much they can take and they are very dedicated to ensuring that as this fishery grows, it continues to be done in a respectful, sustainable way.”

Dig reveals pre-contact lifestyles in Broken Group Students explore human history

TOFINO

OCTOBER 10th and 20th NOTICE OF NOMINATION: CALL FOR NOMINATIONS TO BE A CANDIDATE Starting September 4, 2018 Tofino’s Chief Election Officer will receive nominations for the following offices: • Mayor • Councillor (six to be elected) Terms are for four-years starting November 6, 2018.

Candidate information packages, including nomination documents and background materials, are available now at the District of Tofino Municipal Office, 121 Third Street, during regular office hours, 8:30 am to 4:00 pm, Monday to Friday.

ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

A recent archeological find is revealing clues into West Coast life thousands of years ago.

The University of Victoria is working with the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, the Tseshaht First Nation and the Bamfield Marine Science Centre to reveal glimpses of what life was like in the Broken Group Islands in the pre-contact era.

“It’s an archeological project, which is looking at human history through material remains. We’re working in the Broken Group Islands which is the Tseshaht First Nation’s ancestral territory,” said UVic assistant professor and scholar with the Hakai Institute Iain McKechnie.

The University is in the second year of a five-year collaborative project that involves annual summer excavations where students camp in the Broken Group Islands.

“The work is done under the direct guidance of the Tseshaht First Nation working in conversation and collaboration with the University of Victoria. The Pacific Rim National Park Reserve is supporting this work because it contributes to our mandate around protection and conservation of cultural resources,” said the Park Reserve’s Cultural Resource Management Advisor Caron Olive.

The students spent 16 days in July uncovering fascinating evidence during an excavation of Keith Island, where they discovered a beach campsite dating back 4,000 years and a village from roughly 2,000 years ago.

“We find all these different types of shellfish species. These places are places that people lived for a long time and left a huge compost pile out back of their house…They used that as fill to build new places, new houses down the block as it were,” McKechnie said. “They were actually creating land through strategic composting.”

He added the evidence suggests a large population lived off of local food sources successfully and sustainably for hundreds of years.

“That gives us an indication of how to consider a sustainable way of being in this place. There was lots of communities out here and there’s very few today compared to what there was.

The population of Barkley Sound was undoubtedly higher 300 years ago than it is today,” he said adding the area would have been bustling with activity.

“That kind of sense of a busy place is one thing we are learning about and we want more people to grapple with.

QUALIFICATIONS FOR OFFICE To be nominated, elected and hold the office of Mayor or Councillor you must: • be a Canadian citizen; • be age 18 or older on general voting day (Oct 20, 2018); • have been a resident of B.C. for at least six months before filing nomination documents; and • not be disqualified by law from voting or from being nominated for, elected to, or holding office.

University of Victoria Archaeology Field School students Dale Mathisen and Katie Dierks participate in a fascinating excavation of Keith Island in July.

“The population of Barkley Sound was undoubtedly higher 300 years ago than it is today.”

– Iain McKechnie There is this beautiful archipelago that is relatively empty today, but it was a busy, bustling place.”

He said the team found bones from a variety of species, including dolphins, albatross, northern fur seals and lingcod.

“Out here people are relying on foods that they can paddle five minutes off the island and go fish…All the sport fishing that you’d ever want to do, people were doing, but they were doing it in a different way than today’s fisherman,” he said. “Kelp fishing line and ground stone fishing lures with little bone points that are sharpened out of deer bone to make a composite fish hook. There is harpoons they’re trying to hurl from a canoe into a seal that doesn’t want to be spotted by people…

People were very skilled at those activities and they are well represented in archeological records that we’re excavating.”

He said stone tools were also found, that suggest a potential far-reaching trade network.

“We found a piece of tool stone that is obsidian, which is quite exciting for us because we can source where that came from. Sometimes, these obsidian are traded from very far away and they reflect indigenous trade networks that

are thousands of years old. That’s potentially going to be able to connect a piece of stone in the Broken Group to a place maybe as far away as Oregon.”

He suggested the most exciting discovery made this summer is an 800 year-old domestic dog skeleton.

“We haven’t ever had the chance to uncover this detailed, small bodied dog, which is consistent with the Coast Salish wool dog,” he said adding the breed was raised for its pure white fur, which was used to b intricate blankets that were given as gifts at marriages and potlatches, “Political relationships are established with these wealth items, these blankets, and the dog is the key part of that.”

He added a chemical composition of the dogs bones would be conducted that could reveal its diet.

“How are they feeding the dog? We’re beginning to be able to tell that by looking at the chemical composition of its bones. Is it a specific kind of sea food?

Or is it just feeding from the scraps from everyday meals that people are having?”

Caron said the history being unearthed is invaluable cultural knowledge for the Park Reserve to share.

“It goes to the really deep and rich history of the Broken Group Islands long before the park was ever established and understanding and appreciating the natural and cultural heritage that Parks Canada protects,” she said.

“For the Park Reserve, it’s celebrating the human story of the Pacific Rim.” Read more at www.WesterlyNews.ca.

UKEE CHEERS BARLEY HOP NORA O’MALLEY PHOTOS Presented by Beyond the Bar and the ANAF Unit #293, Ucluelet’s inaugural Barley Hop! saw about 200 patrons pass through the gates to wet their whistle with an assortment of frothy beers. Much like the Chowder Chow Down, a panel of expert judges picked a ‘Judges Choice’ and guests were asked to vote for their favourite lager to crown a ‘People’s Choice’.

Port Alberni’s Twin City Brewing beat out Tofino Brewing Co., Hoyne Brewing Co., and Longwood Brewery to take top honours in both categories. The all -day beer garden featured live music from local bands, on site pub fare from Heartwood Kitchen and Cheesus, and outdoor shenanigans.

Tofino draws affordable housing lottery Robbie Ferguson scores first dibs ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Tofino’s district office drew a unique local lottery on Friday with the grand prize being an opportunity to purchase an affordable home in Tofino.

The District’s Chief Administrative Officer Bob MacPherson placed nine numbers into a basket, with each number representing a lottery entrant, and Rebecca Hurwitz drew each one out to establish first dibs on a $210,000 Hellesen Drive townhouse.

The 738 sq. ft. one-bedroom townhouse unit is currently owned by the district after being received as an amenity in a zoning amendment.

“We hope this will be the first of many such units that will allow those living and working in Tofino to afford a home here,” said the Tofino Housing Corporation in the lottery’s announcement. Robbie Ferguson was the first name drawn from the basket on Friday and will get the first crack at securing the property followed ANDREW BAILEY PHOTO

by Emily Gow. The district has not released the names of the other seven entrants drawn. Tofino’s Chief Administrative Officer Bob MacPherson and Rebecca Hurwitz drew names from a basket at Tofino’s council chambers on Friday to set the order of residents vying to buy a $210,000 home in Tofino. The townhouse unit is currently owned by the district and the lottery was organized by the Tofino Housing Corporation.

Pillar of Clayoquot heritage honoured Lorne Ayres earns volunteer award

ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

A revered steward of West Coast history has been named to Tofino’s volunteer hall of fame.

Lorne Ayres became the latest community champion to receive a Volunteer Recognition Award from Tofino’s municipal council on Aug. 14.

The pioneer behind the burgeoning Tofino-Clayoquot Heritage Museum told the Westerly News he was surprised and delighted by the recognition.

“I put a lot of work into getting the museum developed, but I certainly didn’t expect something like this to come out of it,” he said.

“It’s a matter of working on something that I really enjoy doing. In an area like this, there’s just so much history and, if you don’t care about it and do something to preserve it, then people are going to forget about it.”

Mayor Josie Osborne announced the award and said Ayres “has gone way above and beyond with very little expectation or need of reward or recognition.”

Lorne Ayres received a Volunteer Recognition Award from Tofino mayor Josie Osborne and Tofino councillors, from left, Ray Thorogood, Duncan McMaster, Greg Blanchette, Al Anderson, Dorothy Baert and Cathy Thicke on Aug. 14.

“Lorne has spent countless, countless, hours researching local history, compiling information and building and working with a team of people to mount the displays at the Tofino Clayoquot Heritage Museum,” Osborne said. “We are very fortunate as a community to have this museum that has worked really hard to become what it is now and Lorne is an instrumental figure in everything

that it’s done…Lorne, I want you to know, on behalf of council, that we really appreciate everything that you have done.”

Tofino Clayoquot Heritage Society president Steve Bernard told the Westerly News that Ayers played a pivotal role in creating the museum, beginning with his time on the Tonquin Foundation in 2006.

“Lorne spent many hours advancing

Precision and Implant Denture Centre

the museum function as the chair of the museum committee up until the fall of 2017,” Bernard said. “Museums do not materialize overnight. What we are working on today is built on Lorne’s contribution which spans a decade.”

The museum’s current Operations Manager Ava Hansen expressed gratitude for Ayres commitment to preserving and displaying the West

Coast’s history.

“Lorne’s contributions to the museum are bringing more light to the vibrant, complex, and rich history that shapes our present culture and context in Clayoquot Sound,” she said.

Volunteer Recognition Award recipients have traditionally had their names placed on bricks that are then laid in front of the Tofino Village Green, but Osborne said the names are wearing off the bricks, so Tofino will transfer all the names onto plaques.

“We want this permanently recorded,” she said.

Ayres said the recognition is motivating.

“It certainly gives you a lot more incentive to keep going on because there’s always the recognition for the work that you put in to doing something like this,” he said.

“Awards like this are something that spurs you on.”

He added the museum came to fruition thanks to the community’s support.

“It took a lot of work, but one of the biggest things is we got the recognition from the district and the local business community that we were doing something that was really going to help,” he said. “Once we started to get some financial support, then we could really push ahead and do all these things.”

The Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District is looking for feedback to help determine how they will regulate the sale and production of non-medical cannabis.

The ACRD held a public information session in Port Alberni on Thursday, Aug. 16 to provide information and also to hear feedback about non-medical cannabis, which will become legal across Canada on October 17 of this year. Another information session took place in Ucluelet on Monday, Aug. 20, and another is scheduled for Bamfield on Monday, Aug. 27.

The ACRD board of directors has already adopted a retail policy for non-medical cannabis, but a bylaw to regulate the production is still under consideration. The board gave first reading to Bylaw P1380 on July 25, based on a zoning amendment that is already in place for the production of medical cannabis.

If this bylaw is passed, non-medical cannabis production will be permitted in the small holdings district, the rural district and the forest rural district on properties that are a minimum of six

Facilities will also be permitted in the industrial park district on properties at least four acres in size. Buildings must be located a minimum of 100 feet from all lot lines, and retail sales are not permitted.

The regional district cannot prohibit production in the Agricultural Land Reserve.

The ACRD will hold a public hearing on Monday, Sept. 17 to consider this bylaw and determine where production can occur.

A bylaw must be in place by October 17, or the ACRD will have no way to regulate commercial cannabis.

Comment sheets for the public to provide feedback are available on the ACRD website and at the board office.

Alberni considers micro housing MIKE YOUDS Black Press

Proponents of a micro housing model are counting on the community to get behind a development plan they consider vital to address high levels of poverty and homelessness in Port Alberni.

Bear Lind and Bob Brown are proposing a specific location — the former Salvation Army building at Fifth and Redford — to achieve the goals of their SunRay Village Paradigm Foundation, a registered non-profit society.

They have a comprehensive concept, a letter of support from city council and a GoFundMe campaign set up at www.gofundme.com/no-income-low-income-homeownership.

What they lack so far is broader community backing, specifically $4.5 million in start-up funding. Three months after the fundraising campaign began, only one donor has responded.

Currently for sale by the Coulson Group for $1.2 million, the former Redford elementary school is a cluster of buildings on a hectare-sized parcel that checks all the boxes for SunRay. “This has got everything we need,” Lind said. “Now it’s just getting the community involved.”

He believes if people look closely at the project they will see the merits

“It’s something that should have been done 20 years ago as far as I’m concerned.”

– Bob Brown and support it.

“We’re looking for more people who would be interested in developing this.”

Their primary focus is reducing poverty. According to the last census, 23 percent of Port Alberni residents live on low incomes, considered the highest low-income level of any municipality in the province.

Working on the premise that home ownership is an essential foundation for escaping poverty, they propose a comprehensive approach that incorporates micro housing, life skills and job training, and social enterprise in the form of non-timber forest products (NTFP) and local agriculture. All of these could be accommodated on the Redford Street property, they said.

They describe the concept as creating affordable community housing rather than subsidized housing. Similar micro housing projects have been developed elsewhere but the idea hasn’t yet caught on in B.C., Lind noted.

“Obviously, community programs need to be community driven. We’re

helping people who want to change.”

While the plan requires capital funding to proceed, Brown thinks the overall project could become self-sustaining by developing a largely untapped market for 150 natural products harvestable from surrounding forests.

“It’s something that should have been done 20 years ago as far as I’m concerned,” he said.

They’ve identified several available properties around town, but feel the former school is the most central and viable. The former school playfield is large enough to accommodate 25 micro housing units, housing Lind said would be designed for all ages. Their start-up plan also envisions 80 micro houses to be located off site.

In April, city council sent a letter of support for the four community development programs proposed by Sunray — micro housing, farmworkers (food, farm and housing), community support centres and “job harmony” programs in non-timber forest products.

Mayor Mike Ruttan said the letter represents council’s support in principle for those objectives.

“There’s certainly a need for what they’re talking about,” he said.

“They’ve got a long way to go to get from concept to reality.”

Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

HOROSCOPE ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, something has been on your mind for awhile, so write down your thoughts and try to act on them. This will take the mystery out of the situation.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, asking for assistance is not a sign of weakness. In fact, it is a true test of strength because it means getting help before situations turn worse. Accept help graciously.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, this week presents a perfect opportunity to focus on a project you have been meaning to revisit. It’s good to relax, but free time this week may be better spent working.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you’re inclined to focus on others, but it may be time to carve out some time to care for yourself. If you burn out, everyone will pay the price.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 It’s hard to run away from love and romance this week, Scorpio. Prioritize an existing relationship or devote more time to a budding one.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 It is time to decompress between adventures, Sagittarius. Try sticking closer to home this week and take a breather.

There will be plenty of exploration down the road.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, accept constructive criticism, which is a part of many successful endeavors. Take away important lessons and apply them now and in the future.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Sometimes the best way to improve your bank account isn’t by racking up long hours, but by moving into a career you love, Aquarius. Now is a great time to explore your options.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 You often put other people’s needs before your own, Pisces. Others appreciate this and may attempt to express their gratitude in the coming days.

Puppies dive and do yoga at outdoor pet festival ISLAND IN BRIEF

Pet-A-Palooza, Victoria largest outdoor pet festival, featured dock diving dogs, wiener dog races, a puppy stampede and puppy and goat yoga. The “running of the bulls” (French and English bulldogs race) was a favourite at the eighth annual two-day festival which ran Aug. 18-19.

The puppy and goat yoga had all profits from the yoga classes benefiting the Victoria Humane Society, and all the puppies involved were up for adoption.

Pet-A-Palooza began in Victoria in 2010 and has since spread to Calgary and Vancouver.

Granted, the lack of air quality is no state secret. From Saanich, you couldn’t see Victoria, let alone to the end of most streets. Not only could you feel the smoke going into your lungs, you could practically wave your hand through it.

The effects are well documented. At this level the smoke can be harmful to people living with asthma, emphysema and chronic bronchitis. The province makes updates available at bcairquality.ca.

But there’s another place to check air quality.

It’s called SensorUp, and it relies on

ning, who later died at the scene. Foul play is not suspected.

“I can confirm the BC Coroners Service responded to Chemainus marina last night and the Coroners Service is in the early stages of an investigation involving a male in his late 60s,” noted Coroner Andy Watson.

The name is not being released, he added, out of respect for the family and privacy of the deceased, given the non-suspicious nature of the death.

Marylou Spencer, who lives nearby to the waterfront, was a witness to the incident.

She said SAR members were met by ambulance personnel and the person was lifted onto the dock.

A resuscitation effort took place for approximately 30 minutes, but failed.

Eventually, police and victims services personnel attended, Spencer added.

She said an extreme effort was made by ambulance attendants to revive the man.
