Heroes save all four in crash near Tofino ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Heroic bystanders joined the Tofino Coast Guard to rescue four people onboard a 14’ tin vessel that crashed between Tofino and Opitsaht on Saturday night.

MARPAC communications officer Janice Lee told the Westerly News that all four were rescued quickly after their first distress call went out and were transported to hospital for treatment.

Lee could not speak to the severity of their injuries, but a GoFundMe page titled ‘Emergency Travel from Alberta to Vancouver’ was launched on Sunday in an effort to raise money for the father of one of the rescued to travel to BC Children’s Hospital to be with his son. ““My cousin Rick Tom and his girlfriend Jessica are traveling from Fort McMurray, Alberta to be with his son [who] was in a boating accident last night Nov 2, 2019 on route to Opitsaht from Tofino,” the page reads. “[His son] was transferred to Vancouver Children’s Hospital. Rick left immediately after he heard the news to go be by his son’s side.”

The page had reached $245 of its $1,000 goal at 9 a.m. Monday.

Tofino voters choose Dan Law for council ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Dan Law is Tofino’s newest member of council.

The District of Tofino released the unofficial results of today’s municipal byelection roughly 30 minutes after the polls closed at 8 p.m. that show Law the winner with 319 votes.

Ronnie Lee received the second most votes with 123, followed by Cathy Thicke, 106 votes, Stephen Ashton 38, Craig Heber, 11, and Omar Soliman, 9.

“I’m happy people in Tofino chose me to represent them. I’m enjoying the moment, but I’m also preparing Dan Law myself for hard work ahead. I’m also glad that through this by-election I’ve gotten to know the other candidates better; all of them have something to contribute,” Law told the Westerly News after the results were announced.

He attributed his history of public service and participation in the community as the reason he feels voters put their trust in him.

“People believe in what I stand for, and they believe I’ll try my best,” he said adding his first priority will be getting up to speed

“People believe in what I stand for, and they believe I’ll try my best.”

– Dan Law with the current council, elected last October.

“I’ll work hard to catch up, to be an active and constructive part of the team as fast as I can. In everything I do, I’m going to work towards all that I’ve stood for in this by-election,” he said.

In an email to the Westerly News Saturday night, Tofino mayor Josie Osborne expressed confidence in Law’s work ethic.

“Congratulations to Dan Law on his successful run to become Tofino’s newest member of council. Although it’s with mixed emotions that we watched a by-election take place to fill the seat left by Dorothy Baert’s passing, I know that Dan is ready to join the Council team and will be a hard working councillor fully committed to helping make Tofino the best community possible,” she wrote.

“I want to thank all the other candidates for stepping up and sharing their ideas and passion for Tofino. Excellent ideas and different perspectives were offered during the campaign, and I hope that most of the candidates will be able to stay involved in Tofino’s civic affairs.”

$550K transit plan considered ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

BC Transit is ready to launch a public bus service to the West Coast in September 2021, provided the participating communities are prepared to pay roughly $550,000 a year for it.

After receiving positive responses during a round of consultation in March, BC Transit returned to the West Coast last week with a bus service strategy tweaked by the public input it had received from residents.

“Everyone’s been really engaged.

It’s been really great. We feel like we’ve really heard a lot of good feedback from the community and a lot of people have participated in the process so far,” BC Transit planner Lindsay Taylor told the Westerly News during Ucluelet’s open house on Oct. 29. “From that, we were able to tweak the schedules, tweak the routing in some places and really get an understanding of the needs of the community.”

The current plan is to have two buses running across the peninsula from May-October with buses leaving both Tofino and Ucluelet at 6 a.m. for the first trip of the day and the last trip scheduled to leave both towns at 9:10 p.m.From November-April, the service would be reduced to one bus that would start its day leaving Ucluelet at 7 a.m. with the first trip out of Tofino being at 8:10 a.m. The last trip out of Ucluelet would be 7:40 p.m. and out of Tofino would be 8:50 pm.

The original schedule presented in March had the winter bus starting its day in Tofino, but, Taylor said, that was switched because public input suggested more riders would need to leave Ucluelet to get to work in Tofino than the other way around.

“We’ve heard strongly that there’s more people that are travelling from Ucluelet into Tofino in the morning and that the first trip should start there,” she said. “We’ve actually made that switch to make sure the community knows that we’ve heard them and we know that’s a need here.”

Alberni Clayoquot Regional District’s general manager of environmental services Rob Williams explained that the ACRD would need to collect an estimated $550,000 from the participating communities

Coun. Rachelle Cole speaks to BC Transit planner Lindsay Taylor on Oct. 29.

“One of our main concerns in the whole area is transportation.”

– Rachelle Cole in order to cover the annual cost of the service, including leasing the buses. The cost breakdown for each community is expected to be: $274,319 from Tofino, $183,922 from Ucluelet, $74,130 from Electoral Area C, $16,498 from the Ucluelet First Nation and $1,131 from the Toquaht First Nation. Breaking the jurisdictional costs down further, the average Tofino household can expect to pay roughly $167 per year with the average Ucluelet household paying $98 and the average Area C household paying $88.

“They’re estimates at this time and there is a bit of flexibility within that number to cover overages and increases overtime,” Williams said. “It’s rural transit, so it tends to be more expensive because you don’t pick up people along the whole duration of the trip.”

That $550,000 figure includes an estimated $161,000 coming in from a $2 one-way ridership fare, though Williams noted it will be up to the communities to decide what fee to charge.

“All of the revenue captured from fares gets to offset the cost for the local government, BC Transit doesn’t take any of the revenue,” he said.

Before the service can move ahead, the ACRD must obtain permission from the area’s taxpayers and, Williams explained, it can do that through either a referendum or an alternate approval process. The ACRD board has picked the latter, which means anyone opposed to the service and costs associated with it must complete a form and submit it prior to Nov. 29 at 4 p.m. Forms can be found online at www.acrd.bc.ca as well as both Tofino and Ucluelet’s district offices.

“The board felt there was enough support and momentum for this service, to go that route as opposed to a more costly referendum,” Williams said, adding that a referendum would cost an estimated $20,000 compared to the alternative approval process’ roughly $3,000 price tag.

If 10 per cent of residents, roughly 602 people, submit opposition forms, the ACRD must decide whether to hold a referendum or cancel the service, according to Williams.

“We believe that we won’t get 10 per cent, but that could happen and then the board has a decision to make,” he said.

Ucluelet councillor Rachelle Cole attended the open house and said she supports bringing the service to the West Coast.

“One of our main concerns in the whole area is transportation,” she said. “I think this is fabulous news for the West Coast. It’s been a long time coming and let’s just get there; get’r done.”

She added that there could be other funding sources to look for other than taxation to pay for the service.

“I don’t know if it necessarily needs to translate directly to a tax hike,” she said, adding Ucluelet’s council could discuss alternative budgeting options.

“I think there’s always going to be opposition to an increase and some people might not be able to realize or understand how their household situation and their current finances can handle that…I think that there will be a way to make it happen because we really need this and we’ll pull it together.”

Tofino mayor Josie Osborne also expressed support for the service.

“It offers more independence to youth and seniors, and anyone who does not drive. Public transit, in addition to the other transit offerings in Tofino—the Free Summer Shuttle and the Tiki Bus—will help to reduce traffic congestion, parking issues, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” she said. She acknowledged that Tofitians are being asked to pay more than the other communities because of their assessed property values.

“In the case of ACRD services on the West Coast, like the airport, landfill and proposed transit and proposed multiplex, Tofino property owners do pay more than Area C or Ucluelet residents, because our properties are valued higher,” she said. “Overall, the property tax system is not the fairest way to collect revenue for local government services and facilities, mostly because they are unrelated to the people’s ability to pay them (unlike income taxes and sales taxes) and they disproportionately affect lower income households…

Unfortunately, as inferior as it is, the property tax system is the system local governments are required to use, and we have to ensure transparent decision-making as well as excellent value and service for taxes collected.”

Priorities in a divided province following 2019 election Federal election results provide more proof that B.C. is a very divided province politically.

The Liberals won 11 B.C. seats on election night, down from a high of 18 seats in 2018 (after a byelection win). The Conservatives jumped from 10 MPs elected in 2015 to 17. The NDP lost ground, going from 14 seats to 11. The Greens stayed at two, and there is now an independent MP from B.C., Jody Wilson-Raybould, the former Liberal justice minister.

Where the parties hold seats varies dramatically.

The Liberals are an urban party, with every seat in the Metro Vancouver area. The Conservatives are a rural and suburban party. The NDP has five seats on Vancouver Island in mostly suburban and rural ridings, with the exception of Victoria. They hold two seats in the Interior, two in Vancouver and two in the Metro Vancouver suburbs. One of those is held by party leader Jagmeet Singh.

The Greens hold two Vancouver Island seats.

The Liberals minority government? had introduced a National Housing The NDP theoretically holds the Strategy, but the New Democrats want balance of power, but the prime to dramatically increase the supply minister has already made it clear of housing. One idea proposed was Frank Bucholtz he plans to govern without support to get 500,000 housing units under from any other party. This follows construction, as compared with the the playbook of his predecessor Stephen Harper, Liberal platform calling for 100,000 over 10 years. who headed two minority governments from Lack of supply is a key reason for both higher 2006-2011.The NDP will hold some sway, but the sale prices and higher rents. party will not be able to stop the Trans Mountain The provincial government on Thursday (Oct. pipeline project.

The Liberals do want to move and gradually apply it to B.C. statutes. This proforward on climate change initiatives, although posal has been on the federal to-do list since the the party has not been very clear on what steps 2015 election, but has yet to be completed. It it will take to meet Paris Accord targets, other is quite likely that the federal government will

move ahead on this front in the near future. One supporter of any move in that direction will be Wilson-Raybould, a former regional chief of the BC Assembly of First Nations.

Infrastructure spending on transportation is important to many. In Metro Vancouver, much of the focus has been on additional funding to expand SkyTrain and improve the bus system.

Outside Metro Vancouver, there have been many calls for highway improvements, particularly to Highway 1 in the Fraser Valley and from Kamloops to the Alberta border. Some projects are underway, but much remains to be done to significantly improve the major artery between B.C. and the rest of the country. B.C. residents will be watching Ottawa closely to see what transportation priorities it brings forward, and when.

Frank Bucholtz is a columnist and former editor at Black Press Media.

How about the years before whale watching, before the general public had a relationship with whales and so were scared of them and so then...guns were set up in ocean front spaces to shoot those “killers”? I remember wearing “save the whales” t shirts when I was a kid because many whale species had been hunted to near extinction. I think it’s great our society loves whales and steps are being taken to improve the way we express our interest and love, i.e. modifying distances we approach them.

THE DISTRICT OF UCLUELET NOTICE OF HIGHWAY CLOSURE AND DISPOSITION Pursuant to section 40 of the Community Charter, the District of Ucluelet gives notice of its intention to close to traffic and remove the highway dedication of the 929.7 square metre portion of highway shown outlined in a heavy black line and identified as “Road To Be Closed” on Reference Plan EPP94619, a reduced copy of which forms part of this notice.

The proposed highway closure and removal dedication would be accomplished by the adoption of Ucluelet Road Closure and Dedication Removal Bylaw No. 1252, 2019 (the “Proposed Bylaw”). Council will consider adopting the Proposed Bylaw at its regular meeting at the Ucluelet Community Centre, located at 500 Matterson Drive, Ucluelet, BC, on November 12, 2019 at 2:30 pm. At this meeting, persons who consider they are affected by the Proposed Bylaw will be allowed to make representations to Council and will be afforded a reasonable opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions.

A copy of the Proposed Bylaw will be available for viewing at the Municipal Hall, 200 Main Street, Ucluelet, BC, from October 28, 2019, to November 12, 2019, during the District’s regular business hours of 8:30 am to 4:00 pm Mondays to Friday, except holidays.

The District of Ucluelet further gives notice, pursuant to section 26 of the Community Charter, of its intention to sell the closed portion of highway to John Stephen Bird and Julie Davina Bird (the “Purchasers”). The closed portion of highway will be transferred to the Purchasers for consolidation with the Purchaser’s adjacent lands, and in exchange the Purchasers will dedicate portions of their land as road – including a portion to provide public access to Spring Cove approximately 60m west of the area of existing highway proposed to be closed ‐ and the District will pay $15,800.00.

Grind of Hwy. 4 delays past halfway point ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

The end is closer than the beginning for the Kennedy Hill Safety Improvements Project that’s brought a daily grind of closures to the only road between the West Coast and the rest of Vancouver Island.

“We’ve had 400 blasts to date and moved nearly 90,000 cubic metres of material and things continue to tic along well. It’s finicky and detailed work, but we’re seeing the pace that we want to see to keep us on schedule,” the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure’s regional deputy director for the south coast Janelle Staite told the Westerly News. “We recognize that there has been a significant number of closures…People have had to make some adjustments to accommodate for the work, but ultimately, I think, at the end when we have this project open in the summer of 2020, those delays now will be worth the benefits that come as a result of this project being completed.”

The $38 million project, being paid for by the provincial and federal governments, began in the spring of 2018 and is focused on a roughly 1.5-kilometre stretch where a steep hill and tight corners combine with an encroaching rock-face to create a notoriously daunting task for drivers. Staite noted the rock overhang would force large eastbound vehicles into the westbound lane to avoid it.

“Moving the mountain is the big part because that gives us the footprint to actually do all those safety improvements that come with this project,” she said.

“We have many areas in the province where we have

“We recognize that there has been a significant number of closures.”

– Janelle Staite challenging topography and this is one of those areas.

We’re between a rock and a hard place, we have a rock bluff on one side and we have Kennedy Lake on the other side.”

That bluff is being obliterated with explosives, which have proven tough to predict and Staite acknowledged there have been unanticipated closures and lengthy delays.

“That is why we have the incremental closures that we do and we size our blasts so that we only bring down enough material so that we can get the material off the highway in time to get it reopened again,” she said. “Sometimes you have a blast and you’ve planned everything perfectly and, unfortunately, the way the rock was anticipated to sheer in that blast happened differently so more material came down.”

The blasted rock will be used to construct a viewpoint on the lake-side of the highway.

“Ultimately, that does equate to not only some construction savings for us in terms of material, but a safe spot for tourists and locals to stop and take some needed downtime or just take some photos and rest if needed,” she said.

West Coast opens zero-waste refill stations NORA O’MALLEY nora.omalley@westerlynews.ca

When it comes to embracing a waste-free lifestyle, West Coasters now have the upper hand with new refill shops—or refilleries—opening up in Tofino and Ucluelet.

The Den Ucluelet, located across from the aquarium, recently re-opened their shop as a zero waste refill station, carrying about 30 products ranging from house cleaning to hair, body and beauty.

Frankly Tofino, located on Campbell Street near Wolf and the Fog, is aiming to open as soon as possible pending permits from Vancouver Island Health Authority.

Owner Madison Greyson, 23, said Frankly is poised become the first food refillery in the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District. In addition to supplying household cleaning and beauty products, Frankly will also carry kitchen staples like: flour, seeds, spices, and quinoa.

In the broadest sense, a refillery is a place where you bring a container from home and fill it up.

“For me, a refillery means a lot more than that. It’s the ability to look at shopping and consuming differently. It’s the ability of course to eliminate single-use plastics and it’s the ability to live life with less,” said Greyson, who sits on the board of directors for Clayoquot Clean Up. “I want Frankly to be a platform for people learning a new way of shopping,” she said.

“It’s the idea of breaking away from the consumption side of it and just shopping for what you need. To me, that’s what a refillery is. It’s a resource for being able to buy what you need and not what you don’t.”

The Den co-owners Kristen O’Keefe and Diane Rudge said they have had an abundance of support since rebranding their artisan shop as a refillery.

“We wanted to have a thoughtful impact on the community. We didn’t want to bring in stuff that would sell just to sell,” said Rudge adding they are now in a great position to educate visitors.

O’Keefe reiterates.

“We are all in this zero waste journey together and we want The Den to be a space to discuss alternatives, learn together how we can lower our impact and grow as a community in sustainability. We are hoping that we do not only have an impact on our local environment, but inspire all the tourists that visit our beautiful region to go home and make a small or big

“The first step to start living a zero-waste life is to do just that, take one step,” she went on to say. “If you don’t know where to start, come say ‘Hi’ and we would be thrilled to help incorporate little by little some zero-waste habits into your day to day.”

This June, Tofino and Ucluelet officially adopted unified bylaws that prohibit businesses in either town from providing plastic bags or straws to customers. According to Surfrider Pacific Rim, the Co-ops were distributing

76,000 plastic bags each year in both towns. The non-profit is looking forward to creating fruitful partnerships with Frankly and The Den. “Working towards a circular economy means designing as much plastic packaging out of our systems as possible, and a major part of this is the refill revolution where individuals bring their own reusable containers for foods, beverages, and other necessities like household goods,” wrote Surfrider Pacific Rim chapter manager Lilly Woodbury in an email.

“Additionally, the zero-waste movement is picking up momentum, but we need to ensure

that all people can participate in this movement, which means lowering the barriers to participation like lack of access. So, with this, people on the coast are going to have way greater ease in eradicating waste from their lives now that we have local options for refill and zero waste products,” said Woodbury.

Most recently on Nov. 1, Return-It bumped bottle deposit rates for non-alcohol beverage containers from five cents to 10 cents to encourage British Columbians to recycle more containers, with the goal of keeping them out of landfills and oceans.

November 11 is a day we remember

to give thanks to veterans for their braver bravery, and honour the sacrifices so many have made for our country. countr

CBT announces fall round of Neighbourhood Small Grants NORA O’MALLEY nora.omalley@westerlynews.ca

The Clayoquot Biosphere Trust (CBT) announced the fall round of Neighbourhood Small Grants (NSG) last week. From a “Sexy seniors hair makeover in Macoah” to a “Harvest Festival” in Tofino and “Under the Sea Roller Disco” in Ucluelet, there are some gems on the list that West Coasters won’t want to miss.

Of the 21 projects funded, six are youth-oriented projects that were supported by the District of Tofino, District of Ucluelet, and Eat West Coast, like an upcoming Food Preservation for Youth workshop at Ucluelet Secondary.

“This is a special occasion because it’s the fifth anniversary of NSG in the Clayoquot Biosphere Region and it’s the 20th anniversary of NSG in B.C.,” said CBT’s outreach co-ordinator Brooke Wood.

To celebrate the milestone, the CBT is hosting a free, family-friendly NSG celebration on Saturday, Nov. 30 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Tofino Community Hall.

“The event will showcase some of the projects that were celebrated in the last year,” said Wood. “You can try your

Pluvio is one of Canada’s Best New Restaurants NORA O’MALLEY nora.omalley@westerlynews.ca

Ucluelet’s Pluvio Restaurant + Rooms is one of Canada’s Top 10 Best New Restaurants, according to Air Canada enRoute Magazine.

Pluvio owners chef Warren Barr and Lily Verney-Downey opened their fine dining establishment, or “fun dining” as they prefer it to be called, in April.

“It’s a great place to take your time,” said chef Barr of his restaurant, aptly named after the word ‘pluviophile’, which means someone who takes joy and peace of mind during rainy days.

“I love it when people just sit at the bar and have an appetizer, maybe read a book. There was group from Tofino that came in the other day and I think they were the first one’s in and the last one’s to leave,” he said.

Verney-Downey said they try to offer a complete experiential dining experience.

“Our guests are seated at eye-level with our service team so they really get to connect,” she said.

At the end of the meal experience, patrons are delivered an arrangement of shells and driftwood with hidden chocolates.

“It’s a little foraging experience,” notes Verney-Downey.

Pluvio owners chef Warren Barr and Lily Verney-Downey smile inside their Best New Restaurant located on Peninsula Road in Ucluelet.

Pluvio ranked fourth out of a selection of 35 of Canada’s best new restaurants. They were the only rural restaurant to crack the top five.

“You have to work to be found in a rural place. The support of the

Wickaninnish Inn was fundamental,” said chef Barr.

Chef Ian Riddick co-owns Heartwood Kitchen, just a stone’s throw away from Pluvio.

“That award validates the efforts

of like-minded chefs who are showcasing the bounty of Vancouver Island. I can’t think of better ambassadors than Warren and Lily and the Pluvio team,” said chef Riddick.

Chef Francois Pilon owns Frank-

ie’s Resto-Bar, one of Ukee’s favourite local spots. He said the award is going to make the town more visible.

“It’s putting Ucluelet on the map.

Congratulations on raising the bar and making the Top 10. The more people talk about Ukee, the more they will come,” said chef Pilon.

The international exposure is not lost on Barr.

“I had a friend flying back from Paris and said he saw the article,” said Barr. “We want to be a reason for people to turn left at the junction instead of right. Or at least tack on an extra day to their trip.”

Top Chef Canada winner chef Paul Moran offered his congratulations on behalf of 1909 Kitchen and Tofino Resort + Marina.

“We are very happy to witness and share in the success of Pluvio. It’s great to see entrepreneurs Lily and Warren who have already given so much to the community succeed in their new endeavour. We now have another pillar of culinary excellence in the neighbourhood,” said chef Moran.

Pluvio is open daily from 5:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Reservations are not required.

“It’s not meant to be intimidating,” chef Barr said, adding that his fun dining experience tends to include a playlist of ‘90s pop music.

Remember today’s military TIM COLLINS tim.collins@sookenewsmirror.com

Remembrance Day is typically the day when Canadians take a moment to honour the men and women who have sacrificed for their country.

But, says Jon Chabun of the Esquimalt Family Resource Centre, a part of the day should be taken to remember the challenges faced and sacrifices made on a daily basis by the members of the Canadian Forces.

“For example, unless you’re related to someone in the military, you’re unlikely to hear about the stress of family separations and how military members miss out on parts of their family’s lives,” Chabun said.

“Beyond the daily hazards of military work, (military) members will miss out on birthdays, the first steps of their children, and a lot of things we take for granted. But I’m always impressed with the resilience of service members and their families. I’m actually humbled by what they do.”

One military member who embodies that resilience is Chief Petty Officer 2nd Class Mark Grimard.

He’s been a member of the Armed Forces for 23 years; nine in the army and 14 with the navy. In 2010 he deployed as part of the 1st Royal Canadian Regiment to Afghanistan where he served for eight months.

He’s also been assigned to HMCS

Calgary and HMCS Winnipeg where, on several occasions, he’s been part of “sails” that take him from home for extended periods of two to five months.

“I suppose that the key to keeping life together is communication. I talk to my wife a lot about what’s happening and what to expect when I’m required to go away,” Grimard said.

“She knows that there are some things I can’t tell her about at all and that sometimes there’s going to be longer periods of time when I can’t contact her. That can be hard.”

But when Grimard returns, it’s very important to share his experiences with his spouse and keep the lines of communication open.

“Reunification can be a big challenge for families,” Chabun said.

“Things can change and a service member can return to find that there are new friends, routines and interests.

Children grow and change very quickly and it’s a time when everyone needs to catch up.”

Chabun said the Esquimalt Family Resource Centre offers counselling services to military staff and that its busiest time tends to happen about four weeks after reunification.

One of the strategies that helps to avoid the stresses of long deployments is an accommodation for spouses to be briefly reunited at some point in that deployment.

“When I was in Afghanistan, I arranged to meet up with my wife in Europe and we toured around there for a short time It gave us a chance to see things we’d never seen before and reconnect before I had to return to Afghanistan,” Grimard said.

The danger that is inherent to military life is always a factor as well, and Grimard said that, again, communication is key to maintaining family life.

“My wife and I talk about what would happen should something occur. Anything could happen, but that’s the understanding we have when we sign on the dotted line. It’s called unlimited liability, and I just have to make sure that I have all my benefits in place and the paperwork done before I go away.”

The Canadian Armed Forces has 71,500 regular force members and 30,000 reserve forces.

The Forces have served not only the major conflicts of the First and Second World Wars, but a plethora of other conflicts around the globe, including Korea, Bosnia, Somalia, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

“Whether they’re in an active conflict zone or in training or exercises, these men and women are serving all of us. We should take a moment on Remembrance Day to give some thought to their sacrifice and express our thanks,” Chabun said.

The Public Hearing will be held by the Chairperson of the Regional District or the Chairperson of the Electoral Area Directors Committee. A copy of the Board resolution making this delegation is available for public review.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22

Aries, a hectic schedule is on the horizon, so it is important to get your organizational skills in order. Things are bound to get busy as the month wears on.

Don’t let your mind get the better of you, Scorpio. It’s easy to dream up scenarios, but put yourself in the here and now this week; the future can wait.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21

Taurus, take a few moments at the start of each day this week to just breathe and get ready for what’s in store for you. Doing so will help you tackle anything that comes your way.

Sagittarius, if an opportunity for advancement at work pops up, grab it with both hands. You have been waiting for a chance to make your mark and try new things.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20

Romantic prospects have you eager to spend time with a special someone, Gemini. Block out a night or two when you can enjoy time away as a couple.

Capricorn, you have to push through to the finish line this week even if you are feeling tired. Your reward will come with some weekend festivities.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18

Cancer, you may have to let a situation at work blow over instead of letting it get the best of you. It is important to pick your battles in this scenario. Wait it out for the time being.

Changes at work are looming, Aquarius.

Try to be receptive to the modifications and find a way to put your own mark on things.

A leadership role could emerge.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20

Leo, a seemingly impossible situation may just need to be seen through a new perspective. Try talking to someone to get a different point of view.

Pisces, you may need to play mediator in a delicate situation this week. Take a careful approach and consider both sides of the coin.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, after a lengthy period of rest and relaxation, it is time to get back to the grind.

SHIPP, Donald Winston

On October 11, 2019 Donald Winston Shipp of Ucluelet, BC passed away at the age of 76. With Don’s passing we lost a dedicated father and a cherished friend. Don will be remembered by his three children Minetta Farqharson (Ryan), Charlotte Shipp (Conor), Graham Shipp (Shannon); his two granddaughters Devan and Raegan Shipp; his best friend of 61 years Ralph Innes; and, the mother of his children Margaret Watkins. Don is predeceased by his mother Jean Viola Shipp, father Thomas Lawford Shipp and his brother Richard Thomas Shipp.

After retiring from his ďŹ rst career as Clinical Biochemist Don moved to Ucluelet and served as Pharmacist at Barry’s Drug Mart for over 20 years. Don loved going to work, helping people and spending time laughing with his friends and family.

Don passed away peacefully in Edmonton. Our family is grateful for the support of the medical team at the Royal Alexandra Hospital and Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton, AB. A celebration of life will be held for friends and family on Vancouver Island at a later date. In lieu of tributes, donations may be made to the Alberta Cancer Foundation, Cross Cancer Institute, 11560 University Avenue NW, Edmonton, AB T6G 1Z2.
