Wolves kill dog

Residents urged to keep pets on a leash ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Tofino woke to tragic news on Saturday morning as a report that at least two wolves had killed a dog on Chesterman Beach shot through town.

WildSafe B.C. Pacific Rim coordinator Bob Hansen told the Westerly News that the dog had been let outside a residence, offleash, in the early morning hours of Sept. 1.

“It looks like [the dog] wandered out onto the beach and was attacked by the wolves and killed,” Hansen said.

“We don’tknow how many wolves exactly were involved, but the indications were that there was at least two…It looks like, from the wounds, that two wolves were holding onto the dog at the same time.”

Immediately after the wolf attack, Tofino’s district office reached out to Hansen in search of any potential WildSafe BC resources to help get the word out to beachgoers and Hansen provided new warning signs that Tofino’s public works team then installed around Chesterman’s access points Saturday afternoon, according to Tofino mayor Josie Osborne.

Osborne told the Westerly that the district also reached out to residents through social media.

Tofino’s first challengers for mayor since 2011 ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

For the first time in seven years, Tofino will have more than one candidate to choose from when they select their mayor on Oct. 20.

Josie Osborne was acclaimed to the position as the only candidate in a 2013 byelection and retained her seat after running unopposed again in 2014, meaning Tofino has not experienced a mayoral race since Perry Schmunk beat Michael Tilitzky, 494-219, in 2011.

The nomination for this year’s municipal election opened on Sept. 4 and will close on Sept. 14, when the candidate list becomes official, but at least two Tofino residents, Jarmo Venalainen and Omar Soliman, have already announced they will be running against Osborne for the mayor’s seat.

Venalainen told the Westerly News that he and his wife moved to Tofino about four years ago to escape the noise and traffic of Vancouver.

“I have a long history in Tofino. I came deckhanding here in 1976 and I’ve come back and forth for my whole life,” he said adding he’s seen the community change and evolve over the years.

He said his desire to run for mayor “started quietly at first” and was Jarmo Venalainen prompted by a dispute with Tofino’s district office and council over a restaurant that recently set up near his house and has caused smoke to blow from the restaurant’s barbecue into his residence.

He said he raised his concern to the district before they issued the business licence, but was unable to convince them not to issue one.

“We’ve been smoked out ever since,” he said.

He said the dispute led him to rigorously study the local government act, community charter and Tofino bylaws and suggested he’s found anomalies between those and how he’s seen Tofino operate.

“Personally, I’m not satisfied,” he said.

“You’re in the group or you’re out of the group and I don’t feel that’s appropriate for any community, especially a small one…I really want to try to bring us together and make an opportunity for all the various voices to be heard. Perhaps primarily, but not entirely, because I feel that that has not happened in the past.”

He suggested Tofino is currently run with a “clique-like district governance,” that he wants to end.

“I would bring a much more balanced approach to it. What I have seen is a very imbalanced approach,” he said.

Omar Soliman moved to Tofino from Toronto about three years ago and has nestled into the community, finding work in the food industry and at local surf schools.

“Tofino is such a laid back place, but it’s also hectic at the same time, which I kind of like because it always kind of keeps you on your toes,” he said. “It’s the best place in Canada.”

Soliman was appointed to Tofino’s recreation commission in December of 2016 and said he has enjoyed collaborating on solutions.

“I’m hopeful for a robust and exciting municipal campaign period.”

– Josie Osborne

He believes one of the largest problems Tofino currently faces is the divide between tourists and residents.

“I see that traffic going back and forth and the two markets, that is the tourist market and the seasonal worker market, are competing against each other for housing,” he said. “Eventually, what’s going to happen is there is going to be zero worker motivation and you’re just going to have a bunch of tourists coming to Tofino with no workers. They can only put up with it for Omar Soliman so long living in a tent.”

The 33 year-old said he does not own property in town and feels he is more representative of the average resident than Tofino’s current elected officials, whom he feels have lost touch with the community.

“A lot of the things that they do in the town are geared towards making the tourist experience better, not the person who’s helping make the tourist experience better,” he said.

He said he has a plan to bring Tofino’s municipal property taxes down to 0 per cent by introducing new initiatives that would funnel money from tourists into the district’s coffers, including a potential visitor passport program.

“The community would actually issue passports to hotels, resorts, all that kind of stuff that they could sell to the tourists,” he said.

“We have a million people that come through here. If the town profits just $3 off of each of these passports, that’s $3 million that we’ve never seen before.”

He suggested visitors would be required to show their passports in order to rent surfboards, go whale-watching, ride Tofino’s summer shuttle or participate in other activities and that the program would help curb Tofino’s current struggles with illegal vacation rentals because guests staying at unlicensed accommodations would not have access to the passports.

Josie Osborne Back in April, Mayor Josie Osborne confirmed she would be seeking re-election and she told the Westerly News on Monday that she’s thrilled to see others running and is excited for her first real campaign opportunity.

“Democracy is strongest when citizens have the opportunity to discuss and debate the vision, values, and priorities of the people who have chosen to run for public office, so I am grateful that this time we will get to do that with the mayor’s seat,” she said. “I’m hopeful for a robust and exciting municipal campaign period that comes when the choices of who to vote for are difficult because a good number of passionate, dedicated people are running for office.”

Police ask for public’s assistance in search for missing Ahousaht man

Travis Thomas last seen Aug. 7

“We are very concerned about the safety of Travis Thomas and are doing everything we can to locate him.”

ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Police are seeking the public’s assistance in locating an Ahousaht First Nation man who was last seen on Aug. 7.

Travis Damon Thomas was participating in a spiritual journey that involved being isolated on Bartlett Island when he was reported missing on Aug. 9.

“Prior to reporting him missing to police, the man’s family had already conducted a search of the island but were not successful,” read a statement from the RCMP

– Sgt. Todd Pebernat Canadian Coast Guard, RCMP Air Services and volunteer search teams on an initial search of the island and that that effort was then supplemented by additional RCMP PHOTO resources, including the RCMP Police released this photo of missing Ahousaht Police Dog Service. A search manman Travis Damon Thomas last week. ager from Comox Valley Search and Rescue is conducting an exlast week.Through the statement, ternal review of the detachment’s the RCMP explained that Tofino search efforts to date. and Ahousaht police joined the Thomas, 40, is described as a

5’11”, 175 lb, aboriginal male with black hair and brown eyes.

Police say he has several tattoos on his chest and arm.

“We are very concerned about the safety of Travis Thomas and are doing everything we can to locate him,” said Sgt. Todd Pebernat of the Ahousaht RCMP. “Our search is unfortunately very difficult given the island’s extremely dense forest and brush area. It has made it difficult for ground searchers to probe thoroughly into these regions of the island.”

Police believe Thomas might have left Bartlett Island and are urging anyone who has information about his whereabouts, to immediately contact the Ahousaht RCMP detachment at 250670-9612.

$55M sewage treatment plan ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Facing a 2020 deadline to stop pumping untreated sewage into the ocean, Tofino has put together a $55 million wastewater treatment plan, but isn’t exactly flush with that kind of cash.

The district has applied for a roughly $40 million grant from the federal government to help cover the project’s tab.

Tofino’s Chief Administrative Officer Bob MacPherson said that the proposed project would most likely be quashed if the district does not receive the grant, or receives only a portion of what it’s asking for.

“If we only get $25 million, we can’t do this project,” he said. “What we could do is start a project and not finish it, which obviously we wouldn’t do…I don’t want to say it’s all or nothing, but it’s pretty close to all or nothing. If we don’t see this $40 million grant, I don’t see that there’s a way for this project to get done.”

As part of the grant application, Tofino’s municipal council gave its staff the authority to borrow up to $16 million to cover the remaining cost.

A report from the district’s Director of Finance Nyla Attiana suggests Tofino would pay off that loan over 30 years with annual payments of roughly $896,419, which would be

collected through an approximately 11 per cent residential property tax increase. That increase equates to 65 cents per $1,000 of a residence’s assessed value. A $500,000 home, for example, would pay an additional $326 per year, according to Attiana.

Business tax bills are expected to go up an estimated 12 per cent.If built, the proposed wastewater facility would run an estimated annual operating cost of $612,182, which would be paid for through an approximately 91 per cent increase in utility bill sewer charges.

The average Tofitian residence currently pays about $290 in annual sewer charges each year and the wastewater facility would bump that up to $554.

Mayor Josie Osborne noted that these dollar amounts do not account for the financial contributions the district expects to receive from both Parks Canada and the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation. Tofino’s district office also plans to pursue other granting streams to decrease the capital cost loan.

Tofino is not alone in its current lack of wastewater treatment as Vancouver Island communities Victoria, Oak Bay, Saanich, Langford, Colwood, Esquimalt and View Royal are also facing the 2020 deadline imposed by the federal government in 2015. It has not been made clear what penalties the communities would face if they fail to meet that deadline.

Residents urged to leash their pets

From A1

“The District needs to use all its communication channels and needs to collaborate with other organizations and businesses to get the message out about how we can most successfully co-exist with wildlife in ways that do not endanger people, pets or the wildlife itself,” Osborne said.

Hansen acknowledged that a wolf attacked a leashed-dog in the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve in March of 2017, but added that “99.9 per cent of the time” leashes protect pets from being attacked and, in the wake of Saturday’s attack, he’s urging all dog owners to keep their pets on a leash.

“We are living with all of these wild animals together on this landscape,” he said. “There are direct ways to increase the safety of our pets and one of the most direct ways to do that is to have them onleash and keep them in at night.”

Tofino’s Animal Control Bylaw prohibits any dog-owner from allowing their pet to be off-leash in outdoor public areas and Osborne said it might be time to take a more proactive approach towards enforcing that bylaw on local beaches.

“While it’s too early to say whether the District would consider any bans on dogs at beaches, I don’t think that would be the right ap-

proach. I think it’s fair to say that we must consider a change in our current approach to leash bylaw education and enforcement, which is generally based on complaints or proactively when bylaw enforcement officers encounter obvious ‘problem situations’ with dogs,” she said.

She said a regional wildlife working group with stakeholders from Tofino, Ucluelet, the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation and Parks Canada “is beginning to make strides” towards creating effective strategies, including education and enforcement, for co-existing with wildlife.

“Discussing dog issues, from

leash laws to dog poop, can be controversial and difficult, but incidents like these remind us we must have these conversations,” she said.

“The trick is not to let it slide until the next incident.”

The Westerly News was unable to reach the BC Conservation Officer Service by presstime for information around whether the wolves involved in Saturday’s attack would be destroyed.

Anyone who spots a wolf in the community is urged to immediately report their sighting to the B.C. Conservation Officer Service at 1-877-952-7277.

EDITORIAL

Be mindful of students as school season begins Lives Could Change Forever Whether it evokes jubilation, despair or indifference, there’s no getting around the fact that students are heading back to school on Tuesday. That means a huge increase in the number of kidson the street on foot, bikes, scooters and skateboards.

While we all need to be careful at all times when we drive, the probability of a youngster dashing across the street without warning because they’re late for class, or wandering into a crosswalk distractedby their handheld device

increases in leaps and bounds. That deserted school zone you’ve been ignoring for the past two months on your daily commute is now full of kids of all ages in all shapes and sizes, not to mention you’re also sharing the road with parents in a hurry to get their critters deposited at the curb as quickly as they can so they canscurry off to work.

As a reminder, the posted speed limit in Tofino’s school zone is 30 km/h and it is applicable on school days between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. The posted speed limit in Ucluelet’s school zone is

30 km/h from dawn to dusk, every day of the year, not just on school days. Fines for driving too fast range from $196 to $483.

Stop for a moment and think about how many lives would change forever because you looked down at your phone for half a second, decided to drive home after a two-beer lunch or hit the gas a littleharder because you were late for a meeting with the boss. How would you feel if that lapse in judgment tragically, horrifically altered the orbit of one person you know, or hundreds of people you nevermet?

Imagine how difficult it would be to live with the fact that nothing you do will ever erase the permanent damage you’ve done to someone else’s family and of course, yourself.

So take a few moments to have a frank discussion with your family members and friends that still don’t seem to get it right, then have the same talk with your kids and remind them to be extra careful all the time because some people just don’t get it, just don’t care, or both.

WOLVES KILL DOG ON TOFINO BEACH:

Unfortunately, this happens every year and people still don’t leash their dogs.

Ted Närhilä-Zolorycki There is a difference between an off-leash dog being walked and a dog roaming at large with no owner around...so sad.

Carla Dave Anderson This is very sad news for the dog and owner. I hope though that they don’t try to ‘eliminate’ the wolves though.

Elisabeth Smith This happens every year and people still don’t get it.

It’s the wolves territory and people need to learn respect wildlife.

Carmen Bowler While I have every sympathy for the dog and empathy for the owners, what else do we expect when wild meets domesticated animals? Keep your pets safe people, that’s up to you!

ISLAND HEALTH PROMISES NEW HELIPAD FOR TOFINO HOSPITAL:

When is the West Coast just going to admit it needs a better facility and build where there is more space and height above the water near Ukee?

Michael Randall Good news, Michael, the West Coast has initiated conversation with Island Health and the Ministry about replacing the facilities that currently comprise TGH. A Tofino location for urgent care, however, is wise because it is more central to the significant First Nations population out in Clayoquot Sound. Tofino is actually quite central - and I don’t see this is being a controversial issue in the region. We are all very supportive of Tofino and Ahousaht’s efforts to see more health services in their communities to avoid the cost and inconvenience of too much centralization in Tofino.

Josie Osborne I am thankful that the Tofino hospital is there. It is very central considering First Nation towns. A better helipad is welcome. Tofino hospital saved my life!

It’s a great testament to where the level is at in Canadian surfing.”

Tofino’s Noah Cohen, who stars in the film Transition about his quest to represent Canada at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, will complete Surf Canada’s men’s contingent to WSG as alternate. Local surfer Hanna Scott was selected as the alternate on the women’s side. Devries said he’s looking forward to visiting Japan.

Canada’s reigning king of cold water surf Peter Devries is heading to the tropical Sea of Japan to take on some of the world’s top surfers at the 2018 UR ISA World Surfing Games (WSG) in Tahara from Sept. 15 to 22.

The average water temperature in the month of September near Tahara is about 26 C. Tahara, a relatively small coastal town of about 61,292, is located in the middle of Japan’s main island, Honshu.

“I’m feeling good and excited to do an event outside of Canada for the first time in a long time,” said Devries in a Surf Canada media release. “I’ve just been getting my boards dialled and having a great summer heading into the event. I feel like the biggest adjustment for me is going to be surfing in warm water without a wetsuits and boots.”

Devries, an eight-time men’s National surf champion, will be joined by Costa Rican-Canadian Sean Foerster, Hawaiian-Canadian Cody Young, Canada’s young star talent Mathea Olin, Californian-Canadian Bethany Zelasko, and Canadian-born, Maui-based professional big wave surfer Paige Alms.

Coach Brown noted that no matter what happens, it’s an exciting time for Canadian surfing.

“I know that our team is inspiring so many Canadians, young and old, to want to become surfers and that is a wonderful thing,” he said.

Devries packs optimism on board.

“I think this is a very strong Canadian team.

Everyone is competitively savvy and I feel like

the whole team is versatile in different conditions that can be thrown at us over there. I’m just crossing my fingers for some fun waves that will make for an entertaining event,” said Devries.

IMPORTANT NOTICE MONTHLY OUTDOOR WARNING SIREN TESTING AND ONE CALL NOW 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 and the One Call Now emergency notification system) on the first Friday of each month at 11:00 am.

The purpose of monthly testing is to ensure that the sirens and One Call Now system 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.

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.

Joe David puts a hand on the totem pole he carved for the township of Tofino, and everyone who stands before it. The Tla-o-qui-aht pole is a non-commissioned gift to the District that will live indefinitely in Anchor Park, overlooking the majesty of Meares Island and Clayoquot Sound.

Tla-o-qui-aht totem pole honours chiefs Historical pole raising ceremony will be held this Friday at Tofino’s Anchor Park NORA O’MALLEY nora.omalley@westerlynews.ca

Tla-o-qui-aht master carver Joe David gave birth to a totem pole over the summer. He started shaping the log, a 15 foot Western Red Cedar, in winter and come June, he was chiseling.

The totem pole or Čiinuł is carved in a style that is specific to the Tla-o-qui-aht tribe.

At the top of the pole, a Thunderbird perches above a humpback whale. Both elements represent hereditary chiefs or Ha’wiih.

“I was born to do this. This is my way of speaking about the chiefs,” said David from his

“Sit at its side in silence.

It says a lot.”

– Joe David

carving bay in the community of Ty-Histanis.

A sun on the stomach of the Thunderbird represents the power of life and the blowhole of the whale represents the chiefs that are alive now.

There are two small knuckles on the whale to reflect mountain peaks in the the traditional

land or Ha-Hoothlee of the Tla-o-qui-aht Nation.

The base of the totem pole portrays a remarkable likeness of David’s young granddaughter, Saya-hupalth, who he had lie down on the carving in order to outline her with a pencil.

Saya is meant to symbolize the future.

David left the pole unpolished so the salty sea air would eventually stain the cedar silver.

The pole will be raised at Anchor Park in Tofino on Friday, Sept. 7 at 2 p.m. A celebration dinner will follow the event at the Tofino Community Hall. Everyone is welcome.

“We need this,” said David.

Marika Swan, David’s daughter and Carving on the Edge Festival co-ordinator, articulates the significance of Friday’s totem pole raising ceremony.

“An elder, Tim Paul, said: ‘When poles are raised, we raise with it’. That’s what I’m hoping for. I hope it uplifts,” said Swan.

David has been studying carving for over 50 years.

His father, Hyaciath David, was also a master carver, elder, and chief of the Nation.

This carving is a gift for the township of Tofino, and everybody who stands beside it.

“It tells a lot,” said David. “Sit at its side in silence. It says a lot.”

STARTING SEPTEMBER 7 STARTING SEPTEMBER 7 STARTING STARTING SEPTEMBER 77 SEPTEMBER

The beginning of a new school year is often a fresh start for many students.

This year in Ahousaht, two new principals bring a fresh start for students, staff and the community alike.

Director of Education at the Ahousaht Education Authority Rebecca Atleo introduced the principals as Patrick Callow, the elementary principal, who is coming from Bella Bella where he has “worked for a number of years,” and Kate Drexler, “an enthusiastic educator” who will be leading the secondary school.

Patrick Callow is a University of Victoria graduate who started his career teaching “Grade 1 at an international school in the heart of Kuwait City.”

From Kuwait he worked in plane-access-only Deer Lake First Nation in the “far North-West of Ontario.” Not deterred by Deer Lake’s remoteness, his next teaching position was in the “scenic and lively community of Bella Bella,” where he taught Grades 6-8.

His connections to the land, water and culture in Bella Bella led him to the administrator job posting for Ahousaht’s Maaqtusiis Elementary School.

Finding the right staff who are prepared and eager to live in a remote community, such as Ahousaht, can be challenging. When Callow was asked why he was drawn to Ahousaht, he responded by saying, “When I walk down the street, each and every person waves with a smile on their face. People walk up to shake your hand and welcome you to their community…

The land is beautiful. In a matter of minutes, you can be walking down a sand beach, staring across the ocean up to beautiful snow-capped peaks, having eagles fly overhead and whales in the waters directly in front. After all, how much do people spend and invest to take a few days of their year to come out this way? Why not have it in your front yard?”

Callow’s vision for Maaqtusiis Elementary School is “to be a reflection of the local values [and] traditions, and to be a place in which students and community work together.” Callow aims to have a hands-on approach as he gets to know students and staff.

“All educators—myself included—must mingle with the kids, have meaningful conversations, join in on activities, provide opportunities for community building, and much more”.

Kate Drexler has a Bachelors Degree in Health Science, Graduate Diploma in Education, Masters in Education and a Post Graduate Certificate in Special Education. She has worked in multiple fields, giving her a variety of experiences to bring with her to Maaqtusiis Secondary School.

Drexler’s first teaching position was in a remote community in Queensland, Australia.

One of her experiences there reaffirmed her personal values of working towards reconciliation through education.

Drexler and her class learned and performed the Paul Kelly song, ‘From Little Things Big Things Grow.’

“As students learned the melody, we deconstructed the lyrics that told the story of the Gurindji people’s fight for land rights in Australia. Hearing students both Indigenous and non-Indigenous sing about reconciliation made me realize that this is my life’s work.”

First Nation’s culture is an integral part of Drexler’s beliefs surrounding education.

“Culture is identity. Culture is healing. Culture is connection. The Nuu-chah-nulth’s Pathway to Success document states that education should ‘[encourage] a strong sense of self and pride in [students’] heritage.’…I too believe in creating a culturally enriching learning environment.”

Drexler and the Maaqtusiis Secondary staff have spent time over the past week revisiting and rewriting the schools Vision, Mission and Values. Culture is a core part of what the staff at Maaqtusiis School are promoting and encouraging through daily interactions and lessons.

The Maaqtusiis Secondary Mission reflects that by stating: “high-level learning for all students in an engaging and culturally connected environment” is to be expected and it is clear that both new principals will bring their passion for culture and community in to their schools.

As the new school year begins, Atleo wants to “wish all of our students a great year and to our staff, have an awesome year and enjoy the children.”

Shay’lene David cradles her new born son Eric, born at the Tofino General Hospital on Aug. 29, 2018.

Baby born in Tofino Ahousaht parents welcome new son MARCIE CALLEWAERT Special to the Westerly

It’s a rare occurrence now to hear of a birth at the Tofino General Hospital.

On Aug. 29 at 5:47 p.m., parents Shay’lene David and Anthony Peter Williams Jr. welcomed Eric Vincent Ernest Russell to the world at a precious five pounds, four ounces.

David herself was born at Tofino General too.

The family is from Ahousaht and as per typical medical protocol for the coast, they had settled in Port Alberni well before David’s due date.

David had only returned to Ahousaht for what was to be less than 24 hours to take care of an important appointment for one of her sons with the doctor in Ahousaht.

She told the Westerly News with laughter how she had been eating chilli and hot wings with friends Tuesday night and late the next morning, on Aug. 29, she started feeling cramps.

It was only when they were waiting at the doctor’s office that she realized they might actually be contractions.

The doctor in Ahousaht, who was to be

seeing her son, did an exam and cleared her for travel to Tofino, but rather than wait for the next scheduled boat, a boat was chartered for her to get her to Tofino sooner.

Her Uncle George was the skipper.

Himself a father, he helped coach David’s breathing, but she said she ended up laughing a lot too.

David’s two older sons, David - three years, and Tony - one year, are very excited for their younger brother and facetimed with their mom and newest sibling from Ahousaht just a few hours after his birth.

David recalled, laughing again, how young David had asked her, “If it was time for [her] baby to fall out yet?” while she packed a few things before heading to the dock to catch her boat to Tofino.

Most of her clothing and baby supplies were still in their unit in Port Alberni where the birth was expected to take place.

Tofino General Hospital hasn’t done planned deliveries since 2008, but the hospital’s atmosphere certainly was joyous with the new unexpected arrival.

Caesarean Section and epidurals are not available to birthing mothers in Tofino, amplifying some of the risk factors to giving birth on the coast.
