4K butts picked up Candidates brave rain to clean Tofino’s streets ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Heavy rain poured down on Tofino Friday afternoon, drenching a hearty crew of volunteers who hit the soaking wet streets to clean up discarded cigarette butts.

“I am picking up butts for Surfrider so they don’t wash down the drains and get in the ocean,” said Al Anderson, who focused his efforts around Tofino’s skate park.

The event was hosted by the Surfrider Foundation’s Pacific Rim Chapter, which had invited all Tofino’s mayor and council candidates in Oct. 20’s municipal election and roughly nine of the 15 candidates running attended including mayoral candidates Jarmo Venalainen and incumbent mayor Josie Osborne as well as councillor candidates Britt Chalmers, Andrea McQuade, Tom Stere, Stephanie Kathleen Hughes, Christ Heisterman and incumbent councillor Al Anderson.

“We’re raising awareness about cigarette butt pollution as well as cleaning the town of cigarette butts,” said the foundation’s chapter manager Lilly Woodbury. “The two biggest reasons that we have pollution in the first place, is lack of awareness as well as lack of opportunity to recycle cigarette butts. So, today we’re doing both.”

Britt Chalmers said she’s always happy to support Surfrider.

Candidates clear litter

From A1 “It’s a great way to bring awareness to picking up garbage as well as to get to know what’s going on in the community,” she said. “When Lilly asks me to help out with something, I can’t say no. She’s always got great jobs going on.”

Josie Osborne said the event provided an informal setting for the candidates to learn about each other while supporting a “terrific organization.”

“It’s the greatest kind of community service you can do for an amazing organization like Surfrider to raise awareness about the importance of taking care of cigarette butts and plastic pollution,” she said.

Jarmo Venalainen said it’s important to help keep Tofino clean.

“I came out because I love Tofino like the rest of the people that are out today and many others. We want to see our place comfortable and beautiful and clean,” he said.

Andrea McQuade said Surfrider provides valuable links between Tofino’s environment, community and tourism economy.

“We invite a lot of people in and it’s beholden to the residents of this town to make sure that the town that people are invited to looks the way it does and to educate those on how to keep it that way,” she said.

Tom Stere said he’s been learning about Surfrider initiatives through his son Seth, a member of Surfrider Pacific Rim’s youth chapter and was happy to participate in the butt cleanup.

“This is an excellent event to get out there and raise awareness and I’m glad I can be here to help,” he said. “Plastics and recyclables in the environment is a huge issue and this is one component that we can bring to the attention of everybody to, hopefully, address the broader issues of pollution in the oceans in general.”

Stephanie Kathleen Hughes and Chris Heisterman teamed up to tackle the cigarette butts on Neil Street.

“It’s surprising how many there are. It’s actually quite astonishing,” Hughes said. “I think a lot of people don’t realize that cigarette butts are quite

toxic. They are made of plastic and it takes approximately 25 years for a cigarette butt to break down in the environment and then you’re still looking at microplastics once that does break down. So, this is a really great initiative and I’m proud to be a part of it.”

Heisterman said he was happy to help bring awareness to both Surfrider’s efforts as well as Tofino’s cigarette butt problem.

“It’s amazing how many there are when you start looking and you can see them running through the rain water and that’s all going into the ocean,” he said. “It’s not good for the environment and, I think, it just kind of adds to a healthy culture when people are involved and having fun cleaning things up.”

In an email to the Westerly news after the event, Woodbury wrote that she estimated around 4,000 butts were picked up during the event.

Tuff invited to meet candidates

As Tofino prepares to vote for the mayor and council that will represent our town for the next four years in the October 20th municipal election, the Tofino-Long Beach Chamber of Commerce is hosting two events to bring candidates and voters together.

The first, a Meet the Candidates Brunch, is scheduled for Saturday, Sept.29 starting at 10 a.m. at Jamie’s Rainforest Inn. This event is open to anyone who wishes to come and meet the candidates in an informal setting. Breakfast will be available for purchase from Jamie’s extensive menu. You must RSVP to this event so we can adequately plan for space by emailing info@tofinochamber. org or visiting our Facebook page.

The All Candidates Meeting is happening Tuesday, Oct. 2 at the Tofino Community Hall from 7-9 p.m. This is a more traditional election event where candidates will present timed opening and closing comments and will answer questions from both the Chamber and the audience. Due to the Jen number of candidates that are in the running this year – three for mayor and 12 for council – we won’t be able to have each candidate answer each question. Instead, three candidates will be chosen randomly to answer

each question in sequence (unless the asker directs it to specific candidates).

The Chamber will be asking questions related to taxes and infrastructure costs, housing and parking.

Please come prepared to ask the questions that are most important to you. We will be taking Dart questions both from the floor and from written submissions. We will be saving some time at the end of the meeting for the public to interact with the candidates in a roundtable format. We’re also working on broadcasting the

forum on Facebook live, so please check our social media for updates on this—@TofinoChamber.

Information for voters: if you have lived in BC for at least six months (and Tofino for at least 30 days) before the election, you are eligible to vote. If you have not already registered, you can do so on voting day (Oct. 20) or advance voting day (Oct. 11) by bringing two pieces of government issued ID to the polls (one with your address and one with your signature). For more information visit www.tofino.ca/elections.

Jen Dart is the executive director of the Tofino-Long Beach Chamber of Commerce.

Ukee candidates face off next week

ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Ucluelet’s Chamber of Commerce will host two forums for residents to hear from their municipal council candidates next week.

The chamber has traditionally hosted one all-candidates forum

prior to an election, but with eleven candidates for four council seats and four candidates for mayor, decided to split the candidates up this year. A forum for council candidates will be held on Oct. 2 from 7-9 p.m. at the USS band room and one for mayoral candidates on Oct. 3 from 7-9 p.m. in the band room.

“We’re very excited to host the all-candidates forum and we’re excited that there’s so many people running for council and mayor,” chamber president Dian McCreary told the Westerly News.

“We’ll be very happy to hear what our candidates have to say moving forward.”

She said each candidate is expected to be asked two to three questions and questions from the audience will only be permitted if time allows. Anyone wanting to submit a question to be asked during either forum, must submit them to McCreary at bdmcreary@reefpoint.ca before 2 p.m. on Sept. 27.

Hack sends malicious emails from SD70 ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Emails from SD70 addresses began circulating throughout the West Coast Monday morning with a malicious word document attached.

Ucluelet resident Pieter Timmermans received the email, and told the Westerly News it had been sent to him from an SD70 email address that once belonged to his sister, who is no longer with SD 70.

“It looked fishy from the get-go, but some people aren’t that savvy.

I’m the least savvy, but I was cautious enough not to click on it,” he said. “A lot of parents could get sucked into this thing.”

The school district’s Director of Learning Jack Hitchings told the Westerly that SD70 reached out to its service provider for assistance.

“Right now, we’re just trying to monitor the traffic and make sure that if anything suspicious is circu-

lating, that we’re dealing with it as quickly as possible,” Hitchings said.

“There’s someone out there making some nasty stuff and we just happened to get caught up in it.”

He said anyone who receives the email should immediately change their password.

“In some cases, it just takes one account to be compromised and then all of a sudden you can get a flood of email going through. So, we’re trying to find out exactly what

the details are right now,” he said.

“Because this is so widespread and all kinds of people are getting this email, my suggestion is just change your password and make it complex.

One of the things that we’re finding is some of the accounts that have been compromised had a very simple password that could have easily been guessed, so we think that might be one way that somebody got into the account.”

TOFINO FOR EVERYONE

Our community has become very diverse, historically, philosophically, culturally, spiritually, functionally and in a multitude of other ways.

Our District governance has not.

It’s time for the council to move forward and to begin to understand and respond to the diversity of our community.

B.C. VIEWS

Looking under the hood of ICBC’s war on crashes One of the things to watch as the B.C. legislature prepares to resume is the remake of ICBC rates and penalties.

You may recall the blame-storming session after the NDP took over, featuring cabinet minister David Eby’s “dumpster fire” rhetoric for runaway ICBC costs. Eby produced parts of an outside study that the B.C. Liberal government had withheld, and began the latest overhaul of the 40-year-old vehicle insurance monopoly.

The Ernst & Young report highlighted huge deficits, driven mainly by crashes and soaring minor injury claim costs, ridden by personal injury lawyers and medical experts that other provinces reined in long ago. Eby’s first announcement was a $5,500 cap on “pain and suffering” payouts, and a civil resolution panel to get minor

injuries out of court. drivers will have to pay extra for None of this takes effect until a learner or unlisted driver, and September 2019. And when Eby forgiveness of any at-fault crash says “good drivers pay less,” he disappears. doesn’t mean, er, less. ICBC will The Ernst & Young report has a file its next rate application by the chart showing that when you facend of 2018, when Eby hopes you tor in population growth, B.C.’s are busy Christmas shopping. accident rate actually went down between 2005 and 2014.

That’s on top of the 6.4 per cent Ferrari street racers and texting hike in basic insurance that took Tom Fletcher effect last fall. This fall, in what millennials are sexy media stories, may be Eby’s only popular move, but the big picture also includes rate increases for penalty points and serious of- safer roads, safer vehicles and lots more drivers, fences went up 20 per cent, rising another 20 per many of them older.

Eby doesn’t talk much about the performance cent in 2019.

Next year, young drivers will pay more, regional of the NDP touchstone, a public monopoly. ICrates will change to reflect growing urban risks, BC’s ability to innovate is illustrated by paralysis

in the face of Lyft, Uber and similar ride-hailing services. That calls for usage-based insurance.

Don’t hold your breath.

Private insurers have their own study, showing costs would come down with competition. You could bundle your home and car insurance, get a loyalty discount, and hey, maybe even something other than Soviet-style claims service.

Aaron Sutherland of the Insurance Bureau of Canada says the ICBC monopoly “tends to drag claims out longer, and that creates higher claims costs overall.” Identifying bad drivers could be done with a chip in the car, recording speed and hard braking, but don’t wait for ICBC on that either.

Local surfers conquer Clean Water Classic NORA O’MALLEY nora.omalley@westerlynews.ca

Tofino and Ucluelet surfers scored big at the 17th annual Surfrider Clean Water Classic surf competition in Westport, Washington this weekend.

Day one of the event held at Westhaven State Park was called off by lunchtime due to near gale wind and double overhead waves. “[Saturday] was insane. That was more of a workout survival surf than a surf, but it was definitely fun. I got some bombs,” said Ucluelet’s Paul Boskers, who went on to win the stand up paddleboard division.

Rip Curl Canada team rider Ben Murphy placed third out of 60 surfers in the pro am men’s divison.

“It was an excellent experience.”

– David Schiaffino “The first day was really difficult with the conditions. To have to try paddleout in 15 minutes and catch two waves, it turns into more of a lifesaving surf lesson rather than a competition. It’s all about how well you manage your ocean skills,” said Murphy.

Surf Canada junior team member Jasmine Porter, 13, won the mixed junior divisions and placed second in pro am women’s for the second consecutive year. “[Westport] is a lot more powerful than a lot of the waves that we surf at home. It can be a lot of fun. I was just riding my old board.

It was feeling a bit weird for a bit, but I put new fins on it and it seemed really fun,” said Porter, a member of the Ucluelet Secondary School Surfrider Youth Club and leader of the waste-free lunch program.

“I like the contest set-up,” she added. “The judges are up high and then you surf down below.”

Ucluelet’s David Schiaffino placed second in the men’s longboard.

“It was an excellent experience. This was the first time I surf in a longboard contest. I never compete in longboard before. The waves were beautiful; lots of options. There is not only one peak, there are several. I’m definitely coming back next year,” Schiaffino told the Westerly News.

en’s longboard. Fellow Tofitian and Surf Sister Lydia Ricard took third.

“It was so hard to know who did what,” said Ricard of their final heat.

“There was so much going on, so many waves.

I’m stoked that [Ann] won. It’s awesome. It was two Tofino out of three on the podium.”

Surfrider Washington staffer Brice Boland said the annual surf event and fundraiser draws about 400 people to the area, including about 75 volunteers and about 122 contestants.

“This is a key cornerstone event for Washington State. It brings all of our chapters in Washington together, we bring all of our chapters from Oregon and British Columbia down here to really celebrate and enjoy our oceans, waves, and beaches on the Washington coast,” said Boland.

Fish for the Future derby nets 14K for salmon ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

The good times rolled at Tofino Resort and Marina over the weekend as Willie Mitchell’s Fish for the Future derby netted approximately $14,000 for salmon restoration efforts.

“It was amazing,” Mitchell told the Westerly News at the event’s closing ceremonies.

“It was really a successful event and we’re looking forward to another year to Willie Mitchell help out those good people at the hatchery.”

Mitchell launched the event last year and all proceeds raised are invested into Clayoquot Sound with 80 per cent

“There’s systems in the watershed that are endangered and what we’re trying to do is play a small part to bring them back.”

– Willie Mitchell going to the Tofino Hatchery and 20 per cent going to the Clayoquot Salmon Roundtable.

He suggested the hatchery does not receive enough annual support from the federal government and he hopes his catch and release Fish for the Future derby raises awareness, as well as dollars, for the cause. “[The hatchery] only gets $8,000 from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans so we think we at least got two years of funding out of a small group of people here who really believe in

what we’re doing, and that is trying to bring fish back to the watershed,” Mitchell said. “There’s systems in the watershed that are endangered and what we’re trying to do is play a small part to bring them back.”

Along with hosting the derby, Mitchell competed as well and snagged a 12.24 lb coho, which earned him second place. He donated his prize back to the event’s volunteers.

“It was a chance to allow my prize to go to them and say thanks for their hard work,” he said. “It was really cool.

I was pretty pumped about having that opportunity to give that to them.”

Rob Wilson of Delta reeled in the weekend’s largest fish at 15.5 lbs.

“We didn’t even know what it was at first. We’re turning a corner, the rod bounces, I hook it, we get it close to the boat and I’m going, ‘Holy jeez.

That’s a big fish,” Wilson said adding that he had a blast

throughout the derby. “The weekend here was incredible. It’s a beautiful place…Great time fishing, great group of people, great cause.”

Ucluelet fisher Erica Daley’s 10.78 lb catch earned her top honours in the women’s division.

“It was exhilarating. Fishing is so much fun and it was great out on the water,” she said. “It was a great weekend. This year was the first year it was catch and release and it’s for such a good cause.”

Susan MacDonald of Comox was fishing in Tofino for the first time and landed the third biggest fish in the women’s division at 7.9 lbs.

“I was excited to have that fish on…

We were just going crazy,” she said, adding she was delighted with her Fish for the Future experience. “I’ve had a blast since the moment I got here.

Everybody has been incredibly helpful

and generous.”

Tofino Resort and Marina has released a six-minute video through its Facebook page highlighting the efforts local groups are making to restore salmon populations.

“The world’s oceans have always given me so much on a spiritual level so I feel like it’s my obligation to give back and leave it in the same place or, hopefully, a better place for the next generation,” Mitchell said.“Salmon, if you give them a chance, just a little bit of a chance, they’ll get back to that river and regenerate; new smolts will come out, go out and do their thing and come back and give us and our marine environment so much…We’re very fortunate to live where we are, to have this resource and, for me, I just want to do my part in making sure it stays that way for the greater good of humanity.”

Strategies for managing hormonal balance Steps men and women can take to avoid mood swings, fatigue, migraines and infertility Women experience hormonal changes at least four times in their lives starting just prior to menstruation then pre-menopause, menopause, and post menopause.

At each timeframe there is an opportunity for the hormones, including thyroid, estrogen, testosterone, cortisol, and progesterone, to become unbalanced.

Contrary to popular believe it is not always the fault of estrogen but the balance between estrogen and these other hormones.

Imbalances result in several possible symptoms including, but not limited to, mood swings, hot flashes, anxiety, fatigue, memory loss, pain, brain fog, belly fat, migraines, sugar cravings, hair loss and infertility.

Our environment may be responsible for some of the imbalance if we are consuming

too many xenoestrogens, which are chemicals in the environment that have a similar molecular structure to estrogen.

Men who consume too many xenoestrogens may also experience a chemical imbalance between estrogen and testosterone becoming estrogen dominate resulting in increased body fat. Xenoestrogens, also known as xenobiotics, are found in meat and dairy unless Tracy the animals were raised without hormones and antibiotics, water from bottled water, fats and oils purchased in plastic and food stored and heated in plastic containers.

These chemicals are also found in fruit, vegetables and grains exposed to herbicides and pesticides and cleaning and personal care

products. As xenoestrogens are stored in our body fat the more we are exposed to these chemicals the more belly fat the body must accumulate to facilitate the storage.

We can detoxify these substances by loosing weight, exercising, sweating, and eating more fiber.

Organic vegetables especially cruciferous vegetables such as cauliflower, broccoli, onions, garlic and Lister cabbage turn on our detoxification genes. Managing stress and sleeping well keeps the adrenal glands healthy so that they can facilitate balancing the hormones especially the changes associated with aging.

If these lifestyle interventions fail to correct the symptoms, then hormone replacement may

be necessary. The first step is hormonal testing to determine what is out of balance which can be done at most compounding pharmacies. The next step is to replace hormones with natural bio-identical hormones.

Bio-identical hormones are plant-based, usually prepared as skin creams, which the body recognizes as natural unlike synthetic hormones which are identified as foreign.

Retesting again in a few months will confirm the right balance of hormones has been achieved. Although, monitoring your symptoms will give you a clear indication of the success of hormone re-balancing.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you may want to pull the covers over your head and stay in bed all week long, but that’s just not possible. If you dust yourself off and get out there, you’ll get back on track.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Don’t lose your patience if you need to repeat yourself a few times before your point comes across to others, Taurus.

Eventually, others will start to come around.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, do not worry even if your workload seems overwhelming. Relief is on the way. A hero will swoop in and take some of the responsibility off your shoulders.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Happy times in your life have you exhibiting good will toward others, Cancer.

Maybe you’ll give a coworker a break or cast some good vibes on a friend.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 It is important to have goals, but not at the expense of friendships, Leo. If you have to put success over the needs of others, it may not be worth it. Wait until everything jibes.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Having a plan in place at all times is your saving grace, Virgo. When something unexpected happens this week, you will be able to handle it without breaking a

sweat.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Two friends or family members may try to put you in the middle of their quarrel, Libra. This is an unenviable situation. Try to remain as neutral as possible.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Though it may be challenging, spend more time engaging in frivolous activities this week rather than more serious pursuits.

Show others you can let loose, Scorpio.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you may get an inkling that change is ahead, but you can’t pinpoint which direction it’s coming from. Just be at the ready for anything that seems unusual.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, when someone challenges you, it’s best to not get defensive. This may seem like you are admitting guilt. Instead, do not engage this person much.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, when work pressures get to you, it’s best to take a little time off on the weekend to think about anything but work. Immerse yourself in a hobby.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Travel plans may be slightly delayed, but they’re not completely off the table, Pisces. Don’t worry about having to unpack those bags just yet.

This may, but most likely will not, happen in my lifetime so expect to see this ad again next year at the same time. Go Lions!
