Death in Ucluelet

Body discovered near Whiskey Dock ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

A 50 year-old woman was found dead near Ucluelet’s Whiskey Dock on Oct. 19.

Sgt. Steve Mancini of the Ucluelet RCMP told the Westerly News that police were notified of a body in the harbour around 5 p.m. and arrived at the scene along with B.C. Ambulance personnel.

He said the body was retrieved from the water and the woman was pronounced dead at the scene. The body was transported to Tofino to be examined by the B.C. Coroners Service.

“The RCMP continue to investigate with the assistance of the B.C. Coroner, however the cause of death is not believed to be suspicious,” Mancini said.

He said police have viewed surveillance footage of the area that shows the woman walking onto the dock earlier that day.

“It appears that the female was alone at the time,” he said. “She went into camera view and never returned.”

He said he hopes the tragedy serves as a reminder to West Coast residents and visitors to be careful around Ucluelet’s harbours and shorelines.

“The water is a lot colder than it was a few months ago,” he said. “We urge people, if they are going onto the docks, to wear lifejackets and ensure that you’re being cautious.”

The woman’s identity has not been released.

She is believed to have been visiting family in the area, according to Mancini.

WIN! SCRATCH & SAVE TH N O M Y R E V E F O FIRST TUESDAY V. 6 DAY, NO S E U T • E V A S SCRATCH &

A sea lion that was shot in Ucluelet has died at the Vancouver Aquarium’s Marine Mammal Rescue Centre.

The adult male Steller, named ‘Ukee’ by the centre’s staff, was discovered in Ucluelet on Oct. 10 and transported to the centre on Oct. 11.

After roughly two weeks of treatment, the centre’s veterinary team made the difficult decision to euthanize the animal, according to a post on the centre’s Facebook page on Friday.

“He wasn’t responding to treatment, and his condition had taken a significant downturn in the last two days,” said the aquarium’s head veterinarian Dr. Martin Haulena. “At this point we had to evaluate his quality of life. Although we are disappointed we couldn’t return him to full health, we are glad we could end his suffering and make his final days more comfortable.

I am so proud of the team for the incredible care they gave him.”

‘Ukee’ was severely underweight at around 350 kilograms—healthy male Steller sea lions can reach around 800 kilograms—when he arrived at the centre. Veterinarians found at least one bullet lodged in the animal’s skull and determined he had been blinded.

It is illegal to shoot a sea lion without a permit in Canada and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada is investigating.

West Coast marine mammal researcher Wendy Szaniszlo told the Westerly she was frustrated by Ukee’s death and suggested many people believe sea lions compete with fishers.

“Sea lions are unpopular because it is perceived that they eat a lot of fish, specifically commercially targeted fish, such as salmon,” she said. “Because of that, they are seen as competition and likely some folks are maybe wanting to take it in their hands to try to limit any kind of fishery-sea lion interactions…I find it very disheartening and frustrating too.”

She added that “there is very little information” around what sea lions specifically prey

‘Ukee’, a sea lion that was shot in Ucluelet, was euthanized at the Vancouver Aquarium last week.

“I find it very disheartening and frustrating too.”

– Wendy Szaniszlo on and said her own research suggests salmon is only one small part of a sea lion’s diet.

“Salmon is a portion of their diet, but it’s not the biggest part of their diet and certainly not chinook salmon,” she said. “They are feeding on a wide variety of different types of fish as well as octopus and squid, it’s not specifically chinook salmon.”

She added that she was happy to see so many community members come to Ukee’s aide and report the distressed sea lion to the Marine Mammal Rescue Centre at 604-258-7325 and DFO at 1-800-465-4336.

“The Vancouver Aquarium was able to rescue the animal and do what they could to help it and try to save it. It’s just unfortunate it had the outcome that it did,” she said. “To me, it warms my heart that, while there are some people out there that truly dislike sea lions and are willing to cause them harm, there are many people out there that do like them and will do what they can to help rescue and rehabilitate them as well.”

Debbie Vance and Chef Udo Lerch of Floathouse Patio and Grill handed over a $3,620 donation to the Food Bank on the Edge Society’s Cris Martin and Kaytee Devlin on Oct. 23.

Floathouse gives big to Food Bank ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

A popular West Coast restaurant recently delivered a Bunyanesque early Christmas present to the Food Bank on the Edge.

Ucluelet Floathouse Patio and Grill hosted a final hurrah before closing for the season on Oct. 20 and donated every penny of the day’s $3,365 worth of sales to the local food bank.

“I just provided the venue and the food and most of Ucluelet came down and donated to the good cause,” the restaurant’s owner Chef Udo Lerch told the Westerly News.

“It’s a celebration of us ending our season and what a good way to do it.”

An additional $255 was col-

“It’s a critical time for us” – Cris Martin lected through cash donations at the restaurant, bringing the celebration’s impressive final tally to $3,620.

“It’s a wonderful effort and we are so appreciative,” said Food Bank on the Edge Society executive director Cris Martin. “It was a great dinner and I know the public enjoyed it. I don’t even have words to express how grateful we are.”

Martin touted Floathouse as having “the best ribs in town,” and noted Lerch is a two-time champion of the Pacific Rim Whale Festival’s Chowder Chow Down

event, which is hosted by the Food Bank on The Edge.

This was the second year that the Floathouse has donated its last day of sales to the food bank. Last year’s inaugural event was sparked by a theft at the food bank in October that prompted Lerch to raise funds in an effort to restore the estimated $800 worth of food that had been stolen.

Lerch promised the philanthropic end-of-season feast will be an annual tradition for the foreseeable future. The restaurant also donated the proceeds from this year’s opening day—$1,800—to the Food Bank and plans to do so again when the restaurant opens for the season in March.

Martin said the Food Bank on

the Edge Society is volunteer-driven and relies entirely on local donations to fulfill an important need.

“It is vital,” she said. “This time of year is very important because it leads up to our Christmas Hamper time, which is a big time of year for us where we do rely on donations so much for the community. So, the timing couldn’t be more perfect and we couldn’t be happier with the relationship that has been forged through Chef Udo’s efforts.”

Martin said the Food Bank experiences seasonal flows of need and is heading into high-demand.

“It’s starting to ramp up and it will continue to do so as seasonal employees get laid off or don’t have as much work in the winter,” she said. “It’s a critical time for us.”

Cannabis restrictions in Tofino ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Smoking pot in the wrong part of Tofino could net a $100 fine, though the district’s bylaw department doesn’t plan to start throwing tickets around right out of the gate.

“The biggest part of it is educational right now,” the head of Tofino’s bylaw department Brent Baker told the Westerly News. “We’re always seeking voluntary compliance.

The goal is not, in any way ever, to generate revenue through bylaws.”

In Tofino, smoking or vaping either cannabis or tobacco is prohibited within six metres of any public recreational space, like fields, beaches and playgrounds as well as customer service areas, like restaurant patios, and outdoor workplaces.

“The goal is not, in any way ever, to generate revenue through bylaws.”

– Brent Baker Baker said many residents and visitors might not immediately be aware of Tofino’s specific cannabis regulations, so bylaw enforcement officers will be on the look-out for smokers during their regular patrols and, if they see anyone smoking in a restricted area, will explain the local pot laws.

“Municipalities had the opportunity to have additional areas where we’re not going to allow it [cannabis], so those are the ones we need to educate people on,” he said.

He said no additional beach patrols are scheduled.

“Really, what we’re talking about in those recreational spaces is how it affects other people,” he said.

“Yes, the bylaw says that you can’t smoke on a beach. But, being a good human means that you’re not going to smoke next to people wherever you are, so that’s a big part of what it comes down to.”

He added his department is ready to support local businesses that have trouble with people smoking near storefronts.

“Business owners and employees are asked to actually go out and inform people as well,” he said.

“If they have issues with someone giving them a hard time about it, then they’re absolutely more than welcome to give the bylaw depart-

ment a call and we can provide some further education.”

The bylaw department can be reached at 250-725-3365.

Baker said “voluntary compliance is the ultimate goal of all bylaw departments” and he expects people caught smoking in restricted areas will move on when asked.

“There’s always people that will choose to take a different stance, but at this point we’re looking at it as an educational process,” he said.

“Down the road, if there’s additional steps that are required, then we’ll look at those. But, I think, the reasonable thing to do right now is to provide as much education as possible and offer the support that goes along with that for people to find alternative areas to do what they want to do.”

GUEST COLUMN

Proportional representation curbs extremists I will vote in favour of proportional representation (Pro Rep) in the referendum on electoral reform this fall, because Pro Rep is more effective at keeping extremists from government than the existing voting system.

In Canada, we’ve avoided extremists in government not because of strong institutional safeguards, but rather because Canadians themselves have largely shunned extremists. Now that is changing. Today, all around the world, extremism is on the rise. That’s why now is the time to strengthen our institutions. Pro Rep is an opportunity to take pre-emptive action, lest a Donald Trump or Doug Ford take power in Victoria. Don’t think it can’t happen here: in B.C., we have exactly the same system that elected these two extremists.

Trump won control of the executive branch of the U.S. government even though the majority of US voters—54 per cent—did not vote for him. In Ontario, Ford’s Conservatives gained control of government by

ed that in nearly all instances, parties have influence commensurate with their numerical strength and no more. Our own experience in B.C.’s current coalition government bears that out. Under Pro Rep, all significant political interests and diversities exert pressure on the tiller of the ship of state in proportion to their numerical strength. In contrast, under the current voting system, the captain, elected on a minority of the vote, takes over the helm and orders everyone else off the bridge. Everywhere democracy is in retreat. Fuelled by fears, people look for strong leadership. But what is strong leadership? I will vote for strong leadership based on inclusion, consensus, cooperation. The best guarantee against abuse of government power is to share that power among the many, rather than the few.

SUPPORT FOR PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION

TRENDING ONLINE

Why I will vote ProRep: Arriving in my mail-box early November will be a province-wide referendum ballot; permitting me, and all British Columbians, an opportunity to change how we vote for our MLA’s. How refreshing.

Imagine voting for a candidate and party of your choice and your vote counts.

This is the essence of proportional representation (ProRep) – the proportion of votes casts for a candidate/party are reflected in the proportion of seats they obtain.

And , the ballot will be asking us to rank 3 types of proportional representation systems: Dual Member, Mix Member or Rural Urban. It might sound confusing, but this question is optional.

Really it is the end result that matters, that we seek change. Any ProRep system is better than what we have now.

After all, most developed democracies have a form of ProRep. New Zealand updated their voting system to Mix Member Proportional, and upon a second referendum, voted overwhelming to keep it.

We too have a risk free choice. If the ProRep mandate succeeds, then a second referendum is required after a two election cycle trial of ProRep, asking if we wish to retain it, or return to our old system.

To me it is demoralizing as a voter to have a party gain complete majority control when, in some instances, they received less than 40 percent of the votes.

This is corrosive to our democracy.

Majority governments become tone deaf to the bulk of voters, and engage in hyperpartisan politics. Without accountability, corruption creeps into governance. It is all too easy to ignore the will of the people.

I hope you will join me and vote yes to ProRep! Elections BC must receive your ballot before November 30.

If worried about mail delivery, you can get ballots or drop-off ballots with Service B.C. Jeanne Keith-Ferris Ucluelet

GUEST COLUMN: PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION CURBS EXTREMIST MOVEMENTS: Yeah, so the way I see it, is people on the west coast get stuck with government voted in by the city people with a ‘Yes’ vote.

Shawn Hillier Totally disagree. There are many reasons but primarily because there has been absolutely zero details how any of the pro rep options would work.

I would also add that while NDP cabinet ministers are out knocking on doors supporting changing how we vote, apparently even they cannot explain how a new system would work.

Outgoing councillors plan to remain active in Tofino

Blanchette, Thorogood and Thicke thank colleagues ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Tofino said goodbye to two outgoing councillors during the last meeting of their term last week.

Councillors Greg Blanchette and Ray Thorogood did not put their names forward for re-election and were thanked for their service by Mayor Josie Osborne at the start of Oct. 23’s regular meeting.

“I want to say, ‘Thank you’ to both of you. I think you’ve done a tremendous job of representing the community and your particular constituency and the interests that you both brought forward when you campaigned and asked the community to put you into these seats,” she said.

“You’ve taken accountability for your own decisions and as well for decisions that council has made and you’ve both behaved very respectfully…Even when in the minority, and both of you have been in the minority on occasion, you have listened and participated incredibly respectfully and really represented council extremely well.”

Blanchette said his first and only term on council was an “eye-opening experience.”

“It was a very difficult decision to not run again,” he said. “I want to thank all my fellow council members who have been great Greg Blanchette to work with.

Even when we disagreed, it was done respectfully.

You brought good reasoning to the arguments at the table and it was almost a pleasure to lose to some of you on occasion.”

He commended Osborne for setting the tone for council during the past term.

“I’ve followed council for years and I know how dysfunctional it has been in years past and you really turned that around and have kept it pointed in a [good] direction in what are increasingly difficult times,” he said.

Thorogood likened his two terms on council to how his children felt about his cooking.

“Years ago, when my kids were younger, I was doing the cooking on certain days. I’d Ray Thorogood feed it up and say ‘Well, how is it?’ They’d say, ‘It’s interesting.’ They didn’t say it was good. They didn’t say it was bad. They just said it was interesting,” Thorogood said as he thanked his colleagues.

“Thank you. It has been interesting.”

Coun. Cathy Thicke also did not run for re-election, but was absent from last week’s meeting.

She told the Westerly News she plans to continue pushing for several pursuits in Tofino including a new library at the corner of Third Street and Main Street and trail expansions.

“I have really enjoyed workCathy Thicke ing with the council and the people and the staff of the District of Tofino, but I just think it’s time to have a change. And, it’s time for some new faces too. I really want the younger people to be making those decisions that are ultimately going to affect them,” she said.

“There’s always more to do and you’re always in the middle of some-

thing, but at some point you just have to let go, let other people step in and hope for the best. I really hope the young people enjoy that experience as much as I have because you learn a lot…This community deserves the time and energy and decision making of young people and I’m so glad that they’re rising to that challenge. So, blessing’s on them.”

Blanchette expressed similar sentiment to the Westerly about remaining involved in the community and said he looks forward to focusing on specific issues he has particular interest in, like climate change, salmon farms and environmental stewardship.

“One can have almost as much effect acting effectively as a citizen as one can as a councillor. So that’s where I’m moving my focus,” he said.

“In theory I could take up any one of those issues from the council table.

But, in practice, when you’re on council you’re reading 200-page agendas every couple of weeks and that eats up an enormous amount of time and it doesn’t lend itself towards concentrating on a few issues…It would just scatter me like crazy and it started to get frustrating over the last year or so.”

He added that the decision not to run was difficult.

“I do feel a degree of responsibility to the renters in town, the ones who aren’t homeowners; the ones who are feeling the pinch. The ones like me basically,” he said.

“The whole homeless issue is largely being looked at as a business staffing issue and that’s not how people living their lives think of a home…I don’t hear a lot of that type of talk around the table because the people that bring their influences there are business people and homeowners.

They’ve got over those hurdles, but there’s a whole generation coming up that’s really behind the eight-ball in so many ways.”

Earthquakes hit near Tuff RAGNAR HAAGEN ragnar.haagen@bpdigital.ca

Another sizable earthquake struck off the west coast of Vancouver Island this week.

The latest, a 4.0 magnitude quake recorded on Oct. 29, happened approximately 144km west of Tofino at a depth of 10 km. This comes exactly one week after a series of earthquakes were registered in the same region, although no damage

or injuries have been reported in either case, and no tsunami warning was issued.

On Oct. 21 the U.S. Geological Survey recorded a 6.6 magnitude quake about 260 kilometres west of Tofino, followed by a 6.8 tremor and then a third measuring 6.5.

Those earthquakes were followed by two other smaller quakes later that same day at a magnitude of 4.9 and 4.0.

“It’s not a surprise because this is one of the most seismically active parts of Canada,” said John Cassidy last week, a seismologist and professor at the University of Victoria.

This past week is also remembered as the six-year anniversary of one of Canada’s largest earthquakes – a 7.8 magnitude quake that rocked Haida Gwaii and was felt across much of B.C.

Do you have something to say?

Castaways owners Lise Saurette and John Wynne reflect on the happy memories they had in their second-hand store. They said in the first year of business, they were the witnesses to a wedding that took place in the courtyard.

Tofino loses beloved second-hand shop “We thought we would get a short-term lease or something.”

NORA O’MALLEY nora.omalley@westerlynews.ca

Nestled down a brick pathway just off Tofino’s Campbell Street and Fourth, Castaways was an eclectic thrift store that serviced the community for 14 years.

From gently used flannel shirts and Halloween costumes, to never-beenworn hiking boots and mountains of affordable kitchenware, it was hard for patrons to leave the shelter for salvaged goods without a treasure tucked under their arm.

It’s no wonder that, when word got out Castaways was closing, some shed tears for the loss of what many called the ‘heart of Tofino’.

A couple months ago, Castaways owners John Wynne and Lise Saurette received written notice from their landlord, Jay Gildenhuys, that their tenancy was ending.

– John Wynn Gildenhuys, who owns Tofino’s Shelter Restaurant and the Shed, gave them two full months to move.

“It wasn’t hard to see that something was coming because they were doing work with the building and it had been sold. But, we didn’t think it would be this sudden. We thought we would get a short-term lease or something,” said Wynne, who bought the business in 2010 with his wife, Saurette.

“We’re hoping for a new location.

We want everyone that knows us to let us know some leads they might have,” Wynne said.

I’m making

Castaways Value Store on Campbell Street closed its doors for good on Sunday, Oct. 28, 2018.

“I don’t think I had a bad moment in my store in eight years,” said Saurette. “I’m so grateful. There has been such amazing donations brought to this store. It’s been a magical experience.”

John Enns, president of Tofino’s Fish and Loaves, thinks the closure of the thrift store is a profound loss to the community.

“For one thing, Castaways has been able to help a lot of people with low priced and even sometimes freely giving things to people who are in need and they can’t afford it. It’s been a great store and help to many people who come to [Tofino] with basically a backpack,” said Enns.

He hopes Castaways and its owners will find another place to re-open.

“If that doesn’t happen, I think it will be just one more step to Tofino becoming an elite-and-rich-only type of town where the middle-class and lower will have a very hard time to survive.”

Castaways served a lot of the town’s young workers, notes Wynne.

“My son says we’ve been helping the hemoglobin of Tofino,” adds Saurette.

“The hemoglobin is the part in your blood that carries oxygen. So, all those people in the service industry, all those people that make all the beds and do all the work, this store supports the hemoglobin of Tofino. We’ve been there. And now, we won’t.”

Castaways original owner Katie Harrison started the shop in 2005 after seeing so many people having difficulty obtaining essential goods.

kindness a priority.

Will you?

Friday, November 2, 2018

Her second-hand shop also connected to the global problem of consumption and waste, Harrison said.

“There were also a lot of people leaving and having a lot of valuable stuff that needed to be disposed of and it was just going in the landfill.

This store fulfilled a role in connecting those needs,” said Harrison, who now works in Vancouver as a climate change advocate.

Harrison said she drove about 75 per cent of the donations out of Tofino to Port Alberni or the mainland.

Wynne and Saurette continued that shop ethic.

“We threw nothing out,” said Wynne. “All these years, we threw no clothes in the dumpster.”

Landlord Gildenhuys said in an email to the Westerly that he didn’t have any details to announce at the moment about the space.

FOLLOW @TofinoEmergency

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.

This has only been a test.”

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

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

The Ucluelet Aquarium’s marine debris coordinator Brittany Buirs joins citizen scientist Pat Sieber for a microplastics survey at Cox Bay on Oct. 17.

Ukee aquarium surveying migration of microplastics ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Hidden within the West Coast’s popular sandy beaches are thousands of tiny pieces of plastic putting sealife, and humans, at risk.

“Plastics never actually go away, they break down to smaller and smaller pieces,” Ucluelet Aquarium’s Brittany Buirs told the Westerly News during a MicroPlastics survey event at Cox Bay last week.

“Microplastics in particular are affecting sea life and eventually making their way up the food chain and potentially affecting our health as humans.”

Microplastics are fragments smaller than five millimetres and the Ucluelet Aquarium has been documenting the type and amount of those fragments that are washing up on the West Coast through a citizen science survey project launched in 2017.

“It’s a citizen science project where anyone can come join to help learn about plastic pollution, how it’s affecting our coast, and help contribute to collecting scientific data…It’s a great opportunity to get outside, help clean our local shores and learn about a really important topic,” she said.

“Citizen science is really important because it engages people in an important topic and they can feel like they’re contributing to the health and well-being of the environment they live in…It also gets like-minded people together to bring ideas to their own communities, taking action and creating new leaders.”

The aquarium has been monitoring seven sites between Ucluelet and Tofino and invites residents and visitors to participate in the twice-a-month survey events to raise awareness while collecting valuable data.

“It’s a great opportunity to get outside, help clean our local shores and learn about a really important topic.”

– Brittany Buirs

“Most of our beaches are amazing and beautiful and when people come out and do this survey, they understand if you look a little closer and dig a little deeper you find small pieces of plastic,” she said. “These small pieces are not necessarily litter from someone on the beach, but they could have been broken down over thousands of kilometres away and made their way to our shore…Microplastics tell a global story that global effort is needed because the pollution we throw out here may affect a different part of the world and vice versa.”

Pat Sieber was one of the volunteer citizen scientists participating in Oct. 17’s Cox Bay event and said she’d like to see more people taking advantage of the opportunities to learn about their coastline while protecting it.

“I enjoy doing this. It’s very interesting,” she said. “I’m passionate about the health of our oceans and I’m disturbed by the amount of plastics. The more real research and data we have, the more likely we are to get people to listen to us, I hope.”

Volunteer survey events are hosted twice a month where volunteers collect the top two centimetres of sand along 100 metre transect line placed at the last high tide mark.

“Every time we come out and survey, we are collecting ‘fresh’ plastic that has recently come in from the ocean,” Buirs said. “It’s not debris that has

been sitting here, it’s fresh plastics that have just come in from the last high tide line.”

Volunteers focus on one-square-metre at a time, shaking sand through a sieve to collect microplastics, which are then documented.

“That way, we can really try and figure out what the most recent ocean currents and plastic types are telling us about how we can change our habits,” Buirs said. “The second part is being able to use this information to share with communities and people who lead and make change..Our actions in the long run will help protect the ocean and help protect our health as humans and help protect the marine life that we depend on.”

Anyone interested in supporting the survey as a sponsor or volunteer citizen scientist can contact marinedebris@ uclueletaqarium.org.

“Our coastal community is quite small and it relies on the ocean and its continued healthy longevity because of our food security and local economy,” she said. “We want it to continue to thrive because we need it and plastic is threatening it.”

Along with gathering data to share with governments, Buirs hopes drawing attention to the amount of plastics polluting local shores will motivate West Coast residents and visitors to reduce the amount of plastics they are using in their day-to-day lives.

“Start with the toothbrush in your house or taking re-useable bags to the grocery store or a [reuseable] mug to the coffee shop,” she said. “Those are small steps that eventually trickle into new habits that stop plastic entering the ocean.”

Anyone wanting to learn more about plastic alternatives is encouraged to check out a plastic display at the Ucluelet Aquarium.

Referendum mired in confusion Locals struggle to understand ballot’s options ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Locals are mulling over their proportional representation ballots, but the discourse around the province’s election referendum appears to be about as clear as the West Coast’s foggy fall sky.

As was reported in last week’s Westerly News, mail-in voting packages are arriving to Tofino and Ucluelet P.O Boxes asking residents whether they would like B.C.’s electoral system to change from the current ‘first past the post’ system to a new proportional representation model.

A second, optional, portion of the ballot goes on to ask voters what type of proportional representation they would like to see out of three proposed options— dual member proportional, mixed member proportional or rural-urban proportional representation— though voters can simply answer the first question and leave the second one blank.

The options being presented seem to be a source of frustration for locals who are struggling to understand what they’re voting for.

“It just doesn’t make sense to me,” Ucluelet resident Kyle Deakin told the Westerly News.

He said he would like to see a change to B.C.’s current voting system, but can’t see the benefits of the options on the ballot.

“The first past the post system is old and outdated and we seem to have gotten to a point now, especially in the past two elections, where it’s all about strategic voting…I don’t like that,” he said.

“What I don’t quite understand is how will changing the voting system make things any better for us here in the province…I have a hard time to finding the benefits to voting, ‘Yes.’ As I’m reading about all these different kinds of options that were given, I don’t really see what would make it beneficial.”

Resident, and former Ucluelet councillor, Geoff Lyons told the Westerly he will be emphatically voting, ‘No’ on his ballot.

“I think the government’s looking for an excuse to introduce their own system that works in their favour,” he said.

“It’s too convoluted for me to even understand it fully. Until someone gives me a clarified option, I’m going to say, ‘No. Come back to us when you’ve figured out what you really want.’”

ANDREW BAILEY PHOTO

Ellen and Dale Perkins spread the message about proportional representation outside Ucluelet’s municipal voting station at the Community Centre on Oct. 20. Residents can find more information at a barbecue scheduled for Nov. 7 at the ANAF.

“I’m really frustrated that they gave us those options because proportional representation itself is quite simple.”

– Ellen Hunter-Perkins Lyons fears the options on the ballot leave too much wiggle-room for interpretation and added that he would prefer to see a neutral party organizing the referendum, rather than the provincial government.

“It’s open ended. They’re saying, ‘Trust us and we’ll figure out how to do it,’ and I don’t trust anybody in government, no matter what their calling is, to do something right,” he said.

“They need to spell it out completely instead of saying, ‘Trust us to make the decision after you give us the mandate.’ Without knowing what the mandate is, it’s not proper politics.”

Ellen Hunter-Perkins agrees that the process the government has laid out is frustrating, but said she is an adamant ‘Yes,’ vote and is encouraging others to “give change a chance.”

“I’m really frustrated that they gave us those options because proportional representation itself is quite simple. You vote for a party and the proportion of people that vote for a party in B.C. is how much power they have in government,” she said. “To me, proportional representation is the most fair governmental system for voting we’ve ever been offered…I feel like, if I can help get proportional representation in as our voting system, then I can finally vote for who I want to vote for and I don’t have to vote strategically.”

The 28 year old Ucluelet resident is part of a group of local proportional representation fans who are hosting a barbecue at Ucluelet’s Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans Club, 1708 Pen-

insula Road, on Nov. 7 from 5-7 p.m. to help spread awareness of the referendum.

“If I’m going to put energy into one thing right now, it’s going to be to get people to vote for proportional representation,” she said. “I think it’s going to be huge.

I think, with time, it will make people feel like they have a say in how issues pan out more than they do right now…For me, when I look at the way our voting system works right now, I feel like I can have a say, but I could have a far greater say if we had proportional representation.”

She said she’s encouraging people to vote, ‘Yes,’ for the change to propositional representation, but not to pick either option on the ballot’s second portion if they don’t feel confident doing so.

“You actually don’t have to choose an option if you are unsure about which one is the best,” she said. “The key message is that they’re proportional and it’s a much fairer system.”

PHOTO JOHN F. COLBY

Haida and Chimo in captivity at Sealand of the Pacific in Victoria in 1972. Chimo had a rare genetic condition that made her white.

From killer whales to orcas

Demons of the Netherworld. Assassin whale. Killer whale. Orca.

The names for the whale have shifted over the years, but more interestingly, so too have the feelings around them.

This is the focus of University of Victoria associate professor Jason Colby’s book, Orca: how we came to know and love the ocean’s greatest predator.

Orcas have long been seen as fearsome predators; their Latin name Orcinus Orca, roughly translates to demon of the Netherworld, and ‘killer whale’ was derived from a Spanish observation of the mammals hunting other whales.

“Orca has a warm fuzzy feeling, and we think of it as a modern term, but it’s just as old as the killer whale,” Colby said. “It expresses how many people, even in the Pacific Northwest thought of them … Of why fishermen shot them, or why federal scientists shot and dissected them to see if they’re eating valuable resources.

“Orca became redefined, imbued with meaning that this is not the threatening, potentially killing animal.”

Colby argues that this cultural movement of seeing orcas as an iconic symbol of the Pacific Northwest was spurred by human exposure to live whales, something that is entrenched in his family’s history.

“My dad in the ‘70s was involved in live captures on both sides of the States. I grew up with that history with my dad and the knowledge which increasingly started haunting him,” Colby said. “But in an era of actions we very understandably regret and think of as deplorable … they are why we came to have a very different relationship with them.”

The live capture of whales allowed people to study the behaviour of whales for the first time and to understand how they hunted, learned and bonded.

ISLAND IN BRIEF

A large portion of Colby’s book focuses on Ted Griffin, the man famous for getting in a pool with Namu and forming a relationship with him. Of course, Griffin was also involved in capturing and selling whales.

“Even people we consider having done things that we’d find deplorable don’t have horns on their heads, it was in the context of the times,” Colby argued. “Live capture activity did damage, but it helped re-frame our view.”

Colby’s book was released in June 2018, shortly before the heartbreaking observation of southern resident killer whale, J35, carrying her dead calf for 17 days, or the untimely death of J50 from starvation.

The change in attitude brings more awareness to the plight of the species, something that Colby hopes spurs life-saving action before it’s too late.

“It was a really extraordinary summer for people across the world,” Colby said. “If ever there was a symbolic moment, that was it.”

– www.vicnews.com Body of Ben Kilmer found Ben Kilmer’s family has confirmed on their Facebook page “Find Ben Kilmer” that his body was found on Oct. 17 in a remote area of Duncan.

“We are heartbroken to confirm that our beloved Ben Kilmer was found on October 17, 2018, in a remote are of Duncan, British Columbia,” the statement reads. “Ben is not coming home to us as we had hoped. His death s a shock to all who knew him, and a devastating outcome to a vast and difficult search.”

The 41-year-old father of two was first reported missing on May 16, and his

disappearance spurred an Island-wide search.

North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP also confirmed the news in a release Wednesday morning, stating the remains of Kilmer were found by a hiker, well outside of the original search area.

Authorities have ruled out foul play and say no more details are being released at this time.

Kilmer’s work van was originally found alongside Lake Cowichan Road with its driver-side door open and the engine running, with some blood found in the vehicle.

– www.cowichanvalleycitizen.com Nanaimo homeless not Alberni bound There is no truth to the rumour that people from Nanaimo’s tent city are being shipped to Port Alberni.

“It’s absolutely untrue,” says Wes Hewitt, executive director for the Port Alberni Shelter Society, one of the agencies that looks after housing people who are homeless in the Alberni Valley.

A court-imposed deadline came into effect at 5 p.m. Friday, Oct. 26, for everyone to vacate the tent city homeless camp in Nanaimo except those who are expecting to move into supportive housing in the coming weeks.

City crews were at Discontent City on Friday morning enforcing a fire safety order, Karen Fry, Nanaimo Fire Rescue chief and Nanaimo’s director of public safety told the Nanaimo News Bulletin.

Hewitt said other than the 170 people moving into temporary supportive housing modular units, he had not heard of people relocating to Port Alberni.

“We do have some locations where there are tents in Port Alberni already and have had in the city where it’s ongoing. But I haven’t heard anything about 100 of them coming from Nanaimo,” Hewitt said on Friday.

He re-confirmed that Sunday afternoon, saying the rumour is “absolutely untrue.”
