Queen of the Peak

Champions crowned at 10th all-female contest

NORA O’MALLEY nora.omalley@westerlynews.ca

“It really doesn’t get any better than this,” said Krissy Montgomery at Sunday’s awards ceremony on stunning Cox Bay Beach.

“I know there is an entire competitive element in it, but so much of this is about friendship and support and love for each other in our community, so thank you so much ladies.”

Montgomery, the founder of Queen of the Peak and owner of Surf Sister Surf School, remembers begging people to sign-up for the inaugural Queen of the Peak all-female surf contest.

“I think we had about 30 people maybe 40 max enter. We did it in one day. And now look at us.”

Flash-forward to its tenth anniversary weekend, and the 2019 Queen of the Peak all-female surf contest saw 136 participants paddle out in red, white, blue, or yellow jerseys over the span of three days.

Montgomery had no trouble getting people to enter, in fact, she said this year’s contest sold out three out of four divisions in under 15-minutes.

“The girls are just frothing. Thank you so much everybody who played a part in this.

Whether you participated, judged, volunteered, marshaled or sponsored, we could not have done this without you. It truly takes a community to run an event like this and I couldn’t be more proud,” said Montgomery.

Organizers of the West Coast’s popular Tofino Food and Wine Festival recently announced the event will not be held next year due to a fractured relationship with B.C.’s Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch.

“To the many patrons, artists, musicians, winemakers, chefs, suppliers, organizers, sponsors and volunteers who have been our partners these many years, we extend our deepest and heartfelt thanks and regrets,” read a statement posted to the event’s website announcing the cancellation of 2020’s scheduled event.

The festival celebrated its 17th annual appearance at the Tofino Botanical Gardens in June of 2019.

“These events have all been happy, convivial afternoons of celebrating our great BC wineries, craft brewers, distillers and the culinary excellence of BC’s restaurant industry,” the statement reads. “If any single event defined Tofino’s emergence as a culinary destination, it was this one.”

Through the statement, organizers blamed “a terribly ruptured relationship with the provincial Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch” for the cancellation.

“For the past 16 years, our experience in working with the British Columbia LCRB has been positive; constructive, helpful and supportive. We have felt like a client or partner,” the statement reads. “In 2019, our 17th year producing this well loved event, our experience was the opposite; obstructive, hostile, intimidating and rude. We felt like an opponent.”

It suggests organizers navigated through the LCRB’s requirements and received a permit for 2019’s event just two weeks prior, leading to “a great deal of anxiety, stress and pressure for the producers and directors.”

It says 2019’s event was a success, but organizers are not confident they will receive a permit for 2020 and are “not willing to risk the chance of disappointment, unwanted and unwarranted stress for our team members, our guests and our partners.”

Municipal councillor Andrea McQuade coowns the restaurant Kuma Tofino, a partici-

pating contributor of the festival, and told the Westerly News the cancellation was unexpected and unfortunate.

“I think it came as a surprise and probably a shock to the whole community. I think all of us look forward to Food and Wine every year and a large number of visitors look forward to Food and Wine every year.”

She said she could not comment on what transpired between the event’s organizers and the LCRB, but suggested 2019’s event was well organized.

“I’ve personally always found Food and Wine to be a great event as both a participant and as a regular ticket holder,” she said. “I always find it to be well organized and it’s just such a fun community event.”

She suggested there’s little the town’s council can do to assist the festival’s relationship with the LCRB and that the issue “goes beyond the municipality’s scope.”

“These are rules and regulations that are put in by the province and that are administered by a provincial, not municipal, body,” she said.

“We can support our local festivals in attending them and encouraging our residents to attend them but, when it comes to whatever transpires between a licence holder and the actual regulating board, I think that’s something that goes beyond what council can influence.”

She added that she hopes to see the festival return in 2021 and touted the event as a “linchpin” of the local culinary scene.

“It brings together an incredible number of creative people, of wine makers, of breweries, of restaurants, at a time when we don’t get to see each other, in the middle of the summer.

To have everyone come to Tofino, a relatively small place, it gives us a boost in morale, it gives us a boost in tourism and it gives locals and tourists alike a really great time. So, while I am definitely saddened to hear that it won’t be happening next year, I have little to no doubt that either something great will take its place for a year, or it will come back stronger and better than ever in 2021.”

The Westerly News reached out to the LCRB for comment, but did not hear back by presstime.

Surfers Krissy Montgomery, left, and Kate Orford celebrate after charging big waves in the first-ever Masters division at the tenth annual Queen of the Peak.

Triumph abounds at Cox Bay

From A1 Mathea Olin, Tofino’s teenage surf star who recently won Canada’s first-ever surfing medal at the Lima 2019 Pan American Games in August, claimed the Queen of the Peak shortboard crown for the second year in a row. She took home a prize purse of $3,000 for the win.

“There are so many incredible women here competing and the level just gets higher and higher every time. The waves here are super fun and I just got inspired

by Leah and Bethany and my sister everybody who was surfing,” Olin told the Westerly after besting her younger sister Sanoa, Team Canada member Bethany Zelasko and Leah Dawson in Sunday’s final.

For the third consecutive year, Dawson, a professional surfer based on the North Shore of Oahu, won

the Queen of the Peak longboard crown in a heavily contested final against the Olin sisters and Kristy Murphy.

“In the longboard final, to be with my friend Kristy Murphy, she took me under her wing when I was a grom, when I was 14, and then to share it with Mathea and Sanoa who are like the most amazing grom sisters ever, it just was really full circle for me and it represented everything that I love about Queen of the Peak for sure,” said Dawson, who was chaired up the beach on the shoulders of Mathea and Sanoa after winning the title.

“I’m in love with Tofino and everyone that lives here,” Dawson went on to say. “It’s what I think communities should aspire to be like. It’s really empowering to just

be amongst these trees and the smiling faces. Keep sharing the joys of the sea.”

Tofino teen Keanna Hasz overflowed with happiness after the judges announced she had won the Princess of the Peak under-16 girls division.

“It was so fun to go out with three of my best friends. This is my first [Princess title]. I’m stoked,” said Hasz, who took home $500 for the top place finish.

“I’ll probably blow [the winnings] on a plane ticket to somewhere,” said the 2019 Princess of the Peak.

For the first-time in its decade long history, equal prize money was awarded in both the longboard and the shortboard division. A Master’s Division for surfers over 40 was also added to the program and Wildside

Grill gifted $500 to the surfers that scored the ‘Wave of the Day’.

Tofino surf pioneer and Team Canada member Catherine Bruhwiler earned the inaugural Queen of the Peak Masters title and a grand prize of dinner for 10 at Shelter Restaurant.

“I really wanted to be the first grandma to win Queen of the Peak,” said Bruhwiler.

In a serendipitous twist of events, Montgomery herself ended up slipping on a Queen of the Peak contest jersey and surfing as a ‘wildcard’ in the Masters division after a participant withdrew at last-minute.

“I was so nervous, but it was so much fun because I was with all my girlfriends,” beamed Montgomery with good cheer after her surf.

EDITORIAL

Province’s community roads need to be maintained Premier John Horgan has promised action on the road between Bamfield and Port Alberni, after a bus rollover last month resulted in the deaths of two first-year university students.

It’s unfortunate that it took this tragedy to bring attention to the road.

Bamfield residents and visitors have been petitioning the provincial government for decades to improve the condition of the road.

Bamfield Main is a gravel logging road owned and maintained by logging companies.

But it’s not only used by loggers—the road is travelled every year by thousands, including residents of Bamfield, members of Huu-ay-aht First Nations, tourists and

students and researchers travelling to the Bamfield Marine Science Centre.

In the wake of the accident, some have questioned why a bus driver was travelling on a remote logging road so late in the evening. Others have pointed out that the road is hazardous no matter the time of day.

Bamfield Main is a road that has outgrown its original intent and has become a road connecting communities.

It’s not reasonable to ask private companies to maintain it for regular commuters.

This should be a responsibility taken on by the provincial government.

Bamfield is not the only community in the province serviced by a logging road.

Zeballos and Tahsis, on the north end

of the Island, are similarly isolated—not to mention a number of First Nations communities in B.C.’s Interior.

A report released by B.C.’s forest safety watchdog in 2008 said that these roads have become an extension of the public highway system, and should be treated as such.

But 11 years after this report was released, Bamfield’s only road in and out of the community is still hazardous for experienced and inexperienced drivers alike.

The situation brings another piece of dangerous road to mind.

The provincially-owned Cathedral Grove has been described as “an accident waiting to happen” by Port Alberni

residents, local governments and tourists.

The park draws hundreds of thousands of visitors each year, choking the highway with cars parked on the shoulders and pedestrians making unexpected dashes across the road.

Numerous studies and surveys have taken place over the past few years, but there has been no action yet.

We can only hope it won’t take another tragedy before we see a change.

DISTRICT SUPPORT CRUCIAL FOR TRAIL

Thanks to everyone for a great 20th anniversary celebration of the opening of the Wild Pacific Trail.

The house was packed, but the larger community needs to read these words of praise for the District of Ucluelet.

Mayor Bill Irving was with me before the trail got started through all the environmental, technical and responsibility reviews.

Bill was the rock I stood upon to be able to forge ahead.

Mayor St. Jacques was equally supportive in a crucial period of growth for our trail.

Now Mayor Noel has assumed the mantle of champion for the trail and I have no doubt that his resolve is steady and unshakeable.

To a person all councillors and staff have supported me throughout and this community is so fortunate to have citizens such as these representing them.

A special tip of the hat to Abby Fortune for her cooperation and assistance.

Recognition and praise must be given to Weyerhaeuser and its representatives.

Charles Smith made a leap of faith in allowing the trail to continue up the coast on private land.

He accommodated and supported every construction upgrade to produce the great trail we enjoy up the coast.

Charles retired and turned the file over to Doug Cole.

Lucky for us and our great trail, Doug is a firm supporter of the trail and its importance to the future growth and vitality of development.

Our future looks bright!

NO MORE WARNINGS FOR LEAVING BEAR ATTRACTANTS How much is a bear’s life worth? $250, $500, $1,000? To the bear, it’s priceless. To humans, not so much. I suggest the fine for leaving garbage out should be $1,000. for a 1st time offense and $2,000. for a 2nd and so on. People won’t react to $250, but hit them with $1,000 and more, the word will get out. It’s time to stop pandering to those people who don’t care.

Clair Mcknight Well don’t be punishing the bears then. You stole their home and now they are starving.

COMMUNITY CALENDAR

(NHS) in 2017. The strategy is a $55 billion dollar investment over 10 years and aims to create up to 125,000 new housing units, refurbish more than 300,000 public housing units and reduce homelessness by half. I believe that the NHS is a good start at addressing some of the affordable housing issues in BC. The primary focus of the NHS is to assist vulnerable groups, and put a focus on the specific Jonah Gowans issues facing them.

As well, for those just trying to get into the market, the Liberal government rolled out the First-Time Home Buyers Incentive in Budget 2019. The incentive gives people a loan of up to 10 percent of the purchase price of their home.

Another goal of the NHS is to control speculation in the market. In order to limit housing speculation that can drive up home prices, we will put in place a consistent national tax on vacant residential properties owned by non-Canadians who do not live in Canada.

Finally, we will work with interested provinces, territories, and communities to establish a national approach to beneficial ownership. This will give law enforcement and tax authorities the tools necessary to crack down on financial crime in the real estate sector while respecting Canadian privacy rights.

If I am elected as your Member of Parliament on Oct. 21, I will be a strong advocate for addressing tourist-related affordable housing challenges on Vancouver Island.

BARBARA BILEY, Marxist-Leninist Party of Canada

The 2018 Vital Signs report for the Comox Valley showed a rapid deepening of the housing crisis in the Comox Valley with 45.4% of renter households spending 30% or more of their income on housing and 20% spending more than 50%. The survey also established that 29% of those who were homeless in 2018 were seniors, over 55. As well, there was a 62.3% increase in sale Barbara Biley prices for single-family homes and a 94.3% increase in prices for apartments between 2013 and 2018. Where once the housing crisis forced people out of Vancouver to the Island, now people are forced out of communities like the Comox Valley to more remote communities just to find affordable housing.

In the midst of this crisis and the fight being waged on a day-to-day basis for solutions to the problem of lack of affordable housing we have

the phenomenon of the federal election where instead of a broad discussion on an agenda set by the people which would focus on finding solutions to such problems we are expected to be bystanders to the circus of personal attacks, diversions and promises without content to get our votes. The solution to the housing crisis requires the renewal of the political process so as to empower the people. Those in the community who have been leading the fight to affirm the right to housing know what the solutions are and have to be the ones who make the decisions.

BYRON HORNER, Conservative Party of Canada I have knocked on thousands of doors across our region and the affordability crisis is the top issue. The more affordable Vancouver Island of my youth has disappeared. Seniors on a fixed income, workers whose wages have stagnated, and young Islanders are struggling with the rising costs of housing, food and gas, and rising taxes.

Almost 50% of renters Byron Horner in our region spend an unaffordable amount of their income on housing (Vitalsigns 2018). Sadly, homelessness and people on the brink of homelessness is on the rise. Tourism operators from Tofino to Courtenay struggle to fill seasonal positions due to the expense and lack of housing.

Abacus found that 85% of millennials (ages 23-38) who don’t own a home would like to.

It is wrong that our youth have to leave our communities to find cheaper housing options.

One reason I entered politics is to champion skills-training and economic development on the Island so my boys and young Islanders can achieve the dream of homeownership.

The NDP and Greens make promises on housing but have no realistic chance of forming government. As an MP in a new Conservative government, we will tackle the housing affordability crisis: 1. Fix the Mortgage Stress Test – make it easier for Islanders to access and renew mortgages.

2. Increase amortization periods to 30 years – lower monthly payments for first-time buyers.

3. Use surplus federally-owned land on the Island for affordable housing.

4. Work with BC and local government to reduce regulatory barriers that discourage new home construction (more homes at lower prices).

As your MP I will fight for housing affordability and affordable housing, including re-instating historic tax rules that encouraged the construction of rental-only buildings and a pilot project to exempt from GST the construction of rental-only buildings/staff housing with dedicated affordable units.

Name change weighed at Ucluelet Secondary School District suggests current moniker excludes students from other communities ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

School District 70 is considering changing the name of Ucluelet Secondary School to better reflect the school’s student population, which includes youth from Tofino and surrounding First Nations communities.

SD70 started work on a name changing policy roughly five years ago when concerns were expressed over the name of Port Alberni’s A.W. Neill Elementary School due to Neill’s history as a vocal opponent of Japanese immigration to Canada and a supporter of the residential school system during his time as a member of the House of Commons from 1925-1945.

“As we developed that and then applied it to all of our schools in the district, we realized that there were some things that stood out. Ucluelet Secondary for example, the reason why we’re looking at it is that it fails to capture the catchment area it serves, which is inclusive of Tofino,” SD70 Superintendent Greg Smyth told the Westerly News. “We’ve heard, in some situations, from Tofino parents or residents saying, ‘It’s unfortunate

“Leave it alone.

I don’t see what the purpose is.”

– Pieter Timmermans

my child graduates from ‘Ucluelet Secondary.’ So, what we’re doing is that we’re looking at a process to see if there’s a name that better captures the West Coast region that it serves.”

He said the school board has been brainstorming potential names to be considered, but is still early in the process and plans to consult with the school’s staff, students and parents.

“The trustees will make the decision on whether we rename or keep the name of the school,” he said adding a consultation process is being worked out and will run through the winter months with a decision expected in the spring in time for the start of the 2020/2021 school year.

“There will be a lot of strong opinions for or against and a lot of different suggestions thrown out there as

to what [the new name] might be,” he said. “There will be questions about the economic impact, of how much it will cost us to change, that will be weighed against the moral and regional issues of [whether] it is the right thing to do.”

He added the timing is right to consider a name change as the school is set to undergo a massive $45 million seismic upgrade and partial rebuild, meaning new signage will be needed regardless of whether or not the name changes.

Ucluelet mayor Mayco Noel told the Westerly News he was surprised

by SD70’s decision to investigate a possible name change at USS. “Personally, I’m very happy with the name of the school. I don’t think there’s any negative associations with the school the way it’s been,” he said.

“It’s about where it’s located. This is not a Tofino-Ucluelet thing.”

He added he has not heard any concerns regarding the school’s name and noted that ‘Ucluelet’ means ‘safe harbour’ in the Indigenous Nuuchah-nulth language.

“We’re always working on how to name everything the right name…

Being a graduate from that school, I

haven’t heard any of my Tofino peers that went there thinking it should have been changed,” he said. “The name of Ucluelet actually represents something in the First Nations language. It already has a connotation and local meaning of safe harbour…I don’t know how much more we could do to make it represent our community and our area.”

Pieter Timmermans has lived in Ucluelet for 39 years and told the Westerly he does not see a need to change the school’s name.

“It’s always been called Ucluelet Secondary School,” he said. “Leave it alone. I don’t see what the purpose is. The school is in Ucluelet. Even though it serves the wider area, it’s still a school that has its roots and base here. Tofino has the hospital; it’s called the Tofino [General] Hospital.”

He added that changing the name could lead to unnecessary expenses.

“From a taxpayer’s point of view, if you start changing names, there’s quite a cost involved with that. All the signage, all the stationary, is it necessarily worth all the cost when that money could be put into other aspects of education, whether that’s library books or computers?”

Tofino mayor Josie Osborne told the Westerly she welcomes the discussion.

“I think it’s considerate of the School District to initiate a conversation about whether a high school located in one community that serves at least four communities should change its name to better reflect the student body,” she said, adding she hopes the students are allotted the strongest voice in the decision.

“Ultimately, I think the decision should rest entirely with the students themselves and I hope they are engaged in a participatory decision-making process, something more than just a survey that actually involves dialogue and discussion. I have total confidence in the students, I know they can come up with an answer themselves, avoid divisive argument, and demonstrate the kind of leadership that brings the region together. I can’t wait to see what they decide.”

Smyth suggested School District 70 is also considering changing its own name as ‘The Alberni School District’ does not capture the West Coast schools within it.

#CANADAVOTES

And then there were five.

Elections Canada posted the official listing for candidates in all 338 ridings on Oct. 2 and there was one noticeable absence in the Courtenay-Alberni riding.

Listed as running on the elections.ca website are: Barbara Biley (Marxist-Leninist), Jonah Gowans (Liberal), Byron Horner (Conservative), Gord Johns (NDP) and Sean Wood (Green). Missing from that list is Troy Whitley, of the People’s Party of Canada.

Whitley was also absent from an all-candidates forum in Parkville on Sept. 30.

In the afternoon of Oct. 2, Whitley made it official, with the following posting on his website page: “The campaign for Troy for MP has officially ended and would like to thank the loyal supporters of the People’s Party of Canada for their encouragement.

“Our team has spoken with many of you over the last several months about the People’s Party of Canada’s goals and we took your feedback and suggestions to heart. Many of you communicated to us your concerns about a new, upstart party becoming a real force for opposition this election and even told us that you planned to instead employ strategic voting, no matter how compelling our message was. Unfortunately that is why our campaign has come to an end.

UNLIMITED DATA Get unlimited data with DataXtend

“Simply put, there was no cohesion between the supporters of the PPC in Comox—Alberni (sic), which left us with multiple incarnations of the EDA, donation accounts not being set up, and people being unwilling to collect or even provide signatures. Even the party’s HQ had difficulty in securing local support in keeping our campaign afloat.

“Some of you have had questions on the impact the very visible divide between a group identifying itself as our EDA, and our true EDA, had on our campaign. We will not comment on these matters.

It has always been our policy not to engage with antagonists or trolls.

“We wish the best of luck to our co-candidates throughout the province and across the nation.

We appreciate the candor and honesty in many of the things you told us and we certainly believe that the PPC has a future in this country, even if there are many who do not share those beliefs.

“It is our sincere hope that our country continues to grow and to prosper. We hope to be a part of that prosperity in the future.”

The PPC has had a few candidate issues, including a resignation that made national headlines on Monday.

Chad Hudson, who was running for the PPC in the Nova Scotia riding of West Nova, pulled out of the race on Sept. 30 via Twitter citing differences in philosophy with the party leader, Maxime Bernier.

EVERY CHILD MATTERS: Ukee local Maxtin Lengyel was one of many West Coast students to participate in Orange Shirt Day on Sept. 30. The day honours the Indigenous children who were sent away to residential schools in Canada, Ucluelet Secondary School Grade 10/11/12 art students spent a month designing their own silk screen prints. The students pressed the unique designs onto orange shirts last week, and many staff received upgrades to their existing orange shirts and others were gifted new orange shirts. Nuu-chah-nulth Education Worker Jason Sam said all Grade 9 USS students learn about the history of residential schools by visiting Lone Cone Hostel on Meares Island, located at the site of the Christie Indian Residential School, which ran from 1900 until 1983, and was the last residential school to close in B.C.

Event to raise funds for ultrasound machine

Notice is hereby given that a Public Hearing pursuant to Section 464 of the Local Government Act will be held in the Council Chambers of the Tofino Municipal Hall, 380 Campbell St., Tofino, B.C., on Tuesday, October 22nd, 2019 at 4:00 PM to hear representations from members of the public who deem their interest in property affected by the following bylaw:

ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

A delightful whodunit is coming to captivate West Coast sleuths.

The Tofino Hospital Foundation will host a Murder Mystery event at the Tofino Legion on Oct. 19.

The Foundation last hosted a Murder Mystery in 2010 in an effort to raise money for an ultrasound machine for the local hospital and is bringing the event back with the hopes of purchasing a new ultrasound machine, which carries a price tag of $71,000.

“Even if we can make a good dent in that amount of money, would be great, absolutely wonderful,” Foundation chair Arlene McGinnis told the Westerly News. “It’s bigger, it’s better and it does more for the doctors and the nurses,” She said the fun-filled, clue-laden, evening will provide a boisterous opportunity for West Coasters to support their hospital and care-providers.

“Each and every one of us, at one time or another, is going to need to be in that hospital and this particular piece of equipment is going to make it much easier and quicker for the doctors and nurses to diagnose what is going on,” she said.

The Murder Mystery will feature 14 actors though organizers are keeping mum on the

FEDERAL ELECTION

“Be sure you’re on time to view the crime.”

– Gary Marks details of the script to ensure a spoiler-free surprise.

“Nobody’s giving away any secrets,” McGinnis said.

The script was written and is being directed

by Gary Marks, who also directed 2010’s event.

“It was absolutely a scream. It was just so fun,” McGinnis said of Marks’ 2010 work. “He’s very, very, good. He knows what he’s doing.”

Marks told the Westerly News he is excited to present another mystery for a great cause.

“All the people involved are dedicated and amazing. They’re in it to help raise money for the Tofino Hospital Foundation,” he said. “It’s a group effort.”

Tickets to the Murder Mystery are $125 with all proceeds raised going towards purchasing the ultrasound machine. Tickets can be purchased from Arlene 250-725-3310, Camilla 250-726-6655 and Judy 250-725-3362. The doors will open at 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 19 with the evening beginning at 7 p.m. sharp.

“Don’t be late. Clues start immediately,” Marks warned. “Be sure you’re on time to view the crime.”
