Westerly News Ucluelet locals were startled awake early Saturday morning as several loud gunshot-like bangs rang throughout the community around 5 a.m. The noises immediately sparked social media discussions as many believed they had heard gunshots. Constable Chris Squire of the Ucluelet RCMP said police investigated the matter and do not believe any shots were fired. He said seal bombs were stolen from inside a vehicle sometime between late Friday and early Saturday and police believe these bombs are what caused the noise. “We suspect it was the stolen seal bombs,” he said. “We frequently get calls for shots heard and they turn out to be fireworks (and) that’s what we believe happened Saturday morning.” Seal bombs are a type of fire-

Rhy McMillan, they have taken him on a serendipitous journey in education and research and to the depths of a world famous cave in Belgium. It all began on a blustery December day in 2009, as McMillan leaned on his surfboard, watching waves crest on

Long Beach near his home in Ucluelet, BC. Returned home from a year of touring playing his music, he’d decided it was time for a new direction in life. Answering his cell phone, he got the news he’d been accepted to study for his Bachelor of Arts degree at

VIU. He packed and moved to Nanaimo the same day. Within the first hour of Anthropology 111 – one of the few last-minute classes he could register for, Professor DeeCullon had McMillan thinking critically about who we are See SCIENTIST Page 6

children and families living with autism. Rip Curl Pro Tofino jumped on board, and the Lower Mainlandbased organization Harmony House was also stoked to get involved. Long Beach Surf Shop signed on to provide all the necessary gear and Long Beach Lodge agreed to provide the setting. Participation has doubled every year since then going from 12 to 24 to this year’s 48 families. Each child’s siblings are invited to surf as well. Harmony House provides volunteer behavioural interventionists who help the children safely transition from the beach, to the water to their surf instructor. A strict 1-1-1 ratio is kept with each child receiving a surf instructor and behavioural interventionist and each interventionist is given a behavioural profile of the child they will be working with prior to the camp kicking off. “It’s unique that we can individualize it for each child as they come along,” Dennis said. This year’s camp will welcome 48

families over a two-day span and, with siblings included, as many as 70 kids will be hitting the surf. Dennis said the event provides valuable networking opportunities for families. “We don’t promote surfing as a form of therapy at all we’re just there to promote a fun day and a day to also network,” he said. Dennis said along with attending the camp each year, he and Braedon try to make it out to Tofino at least three times a year to surf. “I’m just happy that he loves a sport that I love as well which is surfing and it’s a lot better because I get to do it with him,” Dennis said. “It makes it that much more enjoyable because I get to share something in the water with him.” Braedon also snowboards and skateboards with his father. “I try to encourage him with a lot of things that keeps him outdoors,” Dennis said. As the parents of other children

on the autism spectrum see photos of Braedon’s outdoor adventures, he becomes an unintentional role model for children like him because parents realize their children can have the same experiences he’s having. “He’s touched them in a way that he doesn’t know,” Dennis said.

LETTERS

This week’s Westerly News online poll: Let your voice be heard! Tell us what you think! One way to do that is our online poll. Visit www.westerlynews.ca online to answer this week’s poll question:

The Ukee ANAF closed down and Tofino is mulling a convention centre. Do we need more venues for events on the West Coast? a) We need more venues in my town. Venues provide a vibrant cultural life for residents and promote events that draw visitors. b) We need to use the ones we have better. I can think of several struggling West Coast venues that need to be enjoyed more. c) Too costly to taxpayers to construct new venues. Enough! Make do, wear it out. d) Who has time/money/energy to go out to venues? Chillax at home. See next week’s Westerly News for the results... +++

Last week’s results:

What Cohen REALLY said... In the recent (Westerly News) article on the Cermaq application for new fish farm sites,I believe I was quoted out of context. What I believe is important that Cohen said in his recommendations about fish farms is this: 1) protect wild salmon from open net pen agriculture 2) remove promotion of Aquaculture from DFO mandate,it compromises it’s ability to protect wild salmon. 3) priories the health of wild salmon over the suitability of fish farm sites. 4) conduct more research into disease effecting and impacting wild salmon. 5) properly implement the precautionary principle to remove farms that are dangerous to migrating salmon and Put the weight of proof on fish farms to show evidence they can safely coexist with wild fish Thank you. Regards, Dave Ratclifffe Ed.: Thanks for sharing your favourite points from Cohen’s report. It was a very extensive report - might not cutting it down to those five be also considered taking it out of context or cherrypicking?

BC salmon farmers support all Cohen’s aquaculture recommendations

In last week’s online Westerlynews.ca poll, 22% said we should give striking teachers the salary they’re asking for and their requests for class size and composition. 32% said teachers should go back to work and accept the last-offered salaries. 23% said “both sides make more than I do, we need to get kids back in school.” 22% said it’s too complex to fix with a poll.

Dear Editor, As you reported in the August 27th edition of Westerly News Aquaculture Awareness Week will be celebrated in many communities on Vancouver Island that are home to salmon farming companies and salmon farmers, including Ucluelet.

Awareness is important for all industries, not just for the shareholders of the companies, but for the hard working men and women who are the heart and soul of operations. Days, weeks, and months of recognition are declared at the national, provincial and local level across Canada for many industries including forestry, mining, and agriculture – it shows that the government of the day sees the importance and collectively celebrates the contribution of those people in the community. In the District of Tofino however our sector has some work to do. Both Creative Salmon and Cermaq Canada are active members of the community and as Coun. Garth Cameron said “Creative Salmon is always the first to step up to the plate and donate salmon to any kind of community event,” but there is also a lack of understanding that is shaping opinion. Coun. Dorothy Baert raised the Cohen Commission as giving her an understanding of the issues around salmon farming. She should know then that after three years of research compelling tensof-thousands of documents and unprecedented data, Justice Cohen found that there was no evidence salmon farms were negatively affecting the Fraser River Sockeye (Final Report Volume 3, p. 24). BC’s salmon farmers have supported all of his aquaculture recommendations – not just in words, but in action – since their release. There were over 60 recommendations made by Justice Cohen that didn’t relate to aquaculture that will also help to guide fisheries management decisions into the future. In the meantime, we feel managed and careful growth of salmon farm-

ing is an important part of protecting our wild salmon. Our responsible farming sector represents an opportunity for BC to lead the way as a food solution. As Coun. Geoff Lyons in Ucluelet noted, “I think salmon farming is the answer to addressing a lot of food needs.” Jeremy Dunn, Executive Director BC Salmon Farmers Association

Lake not acutely toxic, just hung over Dear Editor, I have a beef to share. Too many people are inaccurately using the term “acute toxicity” when talking about Polley Lake. Not only is their use of the term inaccurate, it’s also recklessly misleading. Acute toxicity results from a single or short exposure to a poisonous substance which then causes severe biological harm or even death. An example of acute toxicity would be a lethal dose of common alcohol, aka “booze”. At Polley Lake there is an “elevated” level of substances, not “acute toxicity”. A suitable analogy would be a hangover from having consumed too much alcohol. As everyone knows, a hangover is painful but can be remedied, or remediated, if the source of the contaminant (alcohol) is removed or stopped, allowing the body to recover naturally. So, Polley Lake is not dead, folks! It just has a hangover. Let’s stop saying it’s dead, let nature take its course, and let Polley Lake get over this hangover while we figure out how to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Jessica Marte, Burnaby Ed.: “Go home, Polley Lake, you’re drunk?” I don’t think a hangover quite describes it. Acute toxicity may technically be the wrong term, but it’s time to shop for another metaphor. Serious attention needs to be paid to the Mt. Polley debacle, and appearing to minimize it won’t help.

She has also helped out with membership drive, Ukee Days and has attended Hospice team building events and has taken advantage of advanced training when it comes up. “Erin is enthusiastic and is familiar with Nuu-chal-nulth culture. She is a good example of someone who companions people who are not dying,” said Hoag. Irwin said companioning is important because it’s no fun to walk alone in times of need. “We are all different in this world (and much alike too), some of us expressive, some of us hold onto our grief,” she said. “Companioning gives opportunity to express, belong and debrief and gives both the opportunity to laugh and share.” She has cites the Huey Lewis & The News hit, “Power of Love” for her inspiration. “Helping/giving/sharing is the rent we pay for a room here on earth,” Irwin said.

Letter: Thanks to organizers and donors for Wick Inn Pro Am, support for the kids As summer moves in to fall on the West Coast the halls of USS are sadly quiet right now. In anticipation of the busy year that is to come and the energy that will return however, on behalf of our student athletes, I would like to offer thanks to the Wickaninnish Inn and Long Beach Golf Course for yet another hugely successful pro-am tournament and subsequent donation of approximately $17 000 to our school athletics and extra-curricular programs.

The West Coast is a pretty amazing place to live; not just because of the natural paradise that surrounds us but because of the people and businesses within our communities that continually step up to support our kids and allow them to flourish. Having the opportunity to train, travel, compete and build lasting friendships and memories is a hugely positive experience for our West Coast kids. This oppor-

Cullon had McMillan thinking critically about who we are as humans, inspiring him to begin his academic journey. “Ever since then, thanks to Dee, it was something I knew I wanted to do – to find out more about what it means to be human,” he says. McMillan has since immersed himself in archaeology and geoscience. Graduating at VIU in January with a BA in Anthropology and Earth Science, McMillan is entering UBC’s Master of Science in Geologic Science program this fall where he continues the work he began as a VIU undergrad in Scladina Cave in Belgium. He plans to follow up with a doctoral degree. The site of the discovery of some of the world’s oldest Neanderthal

DNA on record —approximately 100,000 years old — Scladina Cave opened a world of opportunity for McMillan. Designated an honourary research associate at the Centre archéologique de la grotte Scladina (ASBL Andennaise), he is involved in editing and translation, as well as writing for the Scladina Monograph, an academic publication chronicling the discovery of an 8-year-old Neanderthal child at the site. “Scladina is a time capsule, a beautiful little well-protected site,” he said. “It has contents that have been dated to about 130,000 years — with undated materials likely much older —and was completely filled up within the last 10,000 years. This means everything

tunity is made far more accessible due to the consistent generosity of the sponsors and participants of the Wickaninnish Inn pro-am. It

inside has been protected since before modern times – nobody was able to access it until scientific excavation began in 1978. And we haven’t excavated to the end of the cave yet – we don’t know exactly where it goes. For me, that’s the most beautiful part.” McMillan is now focusing on taphonomy – the study of the processes affecting an organism between the time of its death and the time we find it in the archaeological/geological record. A top concern is the differential fossilization of bone, and the development of a new standard for chemically analyzing bone. “One of my main objectives is to help archaeologists better understand, describe, and explain the relationships between groups of valuable Notice No. 3-1 LGA s.70 objects by using geoscience,” Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District/School District No. 70 (Alberni) McMillan said. 2014 GENERAL LOCAL ELECTIONS “This means NOTICE OF NOMINATION understanding, through a methPublic Notice is given to the electors of the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District and School District No. 70 (Alberni) that nominations for the offices of: od I’m helping to develop, the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District Electoral Area Directors – Six (6) to be elected, one (1) representative for each of the following Electoral Areas: objects’ various states of Electoral Area “A” (Bamfield) Electoral Area “D” (Sproat Lake) Electoral Area “B” (Beaufort) Electoral Area “E” (Beaver Creek) preservation Electoral Area “C” (Long Beach)

takes an incredible amount of work to pull off such a successful event. Each year Charles and the staff of the Wick Inn and Gibby and the crew at the Long Beach Golf Course lead the charge in rallying support for our school programs and each year I struggle to find the words to convey the full sense of appreciation at the school. It means a lot for our kids. Fortunately there are so many of you out

there who already get this. Whether it’s as a sponsor, golfer, or raffle ticket buyer the common theme that runs through it all is, “Oh, it’s for the kids? I’m in then.” To all of you who were involved in this fantastic event, rest assured that we will hit the ground running once we get under way and your generosity will go a long way toward building an exciting, fun-filled and successful year of school athletics.

and alteration, and using this data to help us better understand how they are related.” Working with the new method he’s developing for analyzing tiny samples of fossilized bone at the UBC Pacific Centre for Isotopic and Geochemical Research, McMillan is solving a problem that occurs when objects are redeposited and mixed into overlying sediments by erosion, causing a mélange of objects representing different time periods. Objects found together in one layer of sediment might have been deposited during different events – and objects found in separate contexts might have been originally deposited by the same event, even though they are not excavated from the same layer. One particular find at Scladina that has involved McMillan is the discovery of a brittle, graphite substance that may well be evidence of a colorant – or a very early pencil – used by Neanderthals. “Not only is the use of graphite as a colorant by Neandertals new and exciting, these could be the first pencils ever used,” he said. The initial encouragement to undertake the VIU Study Abroad

trip to Scladina came from mentor Professor Cheryl Roy. With Roy now poised to retire from her position leading student research at Scladina, her former student is now preparing to take over that role. Roy is happy to see one of her most promising students continuing his research and sharing his skills with future VIU students working at the cave. “Rhy is one of the most enthusiastic students I have ever encountered,” Roy says. “He is excited about learning and he has used every opportunity offered to him to create his own future.” Working with UBC’s Multidisciplinary Applied Geochemistry Network, McMillan is excited about continuing his research - and the impact it could have on other sites. “The bottom line is, most of the time information we use as archaeologists comes from studying objects that have undergone at least some degree of taphonomic alteration – the processes that occur after an organism dies and before we find it,” he said. “I don’t think we understand and use the taphonomic information that is available to the degree that we should when analyzing archaeological bone.” McMillan believes there is much to be learned from advancing the relationship between archaeology and geology, and he plans to be part of doing just that. Shari Roy writes for Vancouver Island University.

Bombs, continued from Page 1 work that fisherman use to scare seals away from their nets, according to Squire. He said several locals called in to report the bangs and, while these reports turned out to be false alarms, he encourages locals to continue reporting any suspicious noises to police. “If you hear something you think was a shot, call it in,” he said. He said no injuries have been reported and police are no longer investigating the matter. reporter@westerlynews.ca

Westerly News The BC teachers’ strike has delayed the school year but West Coasters aren’t leaving their kids’ educations in the lurch. Private childcare providers and non-profit organizations are helping out - for a fee. In Tofino, the Raincoast Education Society grabbed the opportunity to fill the educational void created by the absence of scheduled to bring outdoor educational programming to children from Kindergarten to Grade 7. The goal of the RES is to engage local youth in activities that will lead to a real appreciation of the natural world, said program development and communications officer Luke Stime.

Parents pay a daily $40 drop-in fee. In Ucluelet, the district’s parks and recreation department countered the absence of school by launching Fall Fun Days for kids’ ages 6-12. The program kicked in on Sept. 2 and will run every weekday

from around 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. until school resumes, according to recreation programmer KK Hodder. “We are putting on a program that mimics school hours in order to provide a safe and fun environment for kids to go while the teachers are on strike,” she said. She said the recreation department provided similar service during the end of last school year when the strike kicked up and monitored the situation all summer ready to jump in if needed. “It seemed like it was something that we needed to keep at the back of our heads in terms of organizing something for the start of September,” she said. “It was always on the backburner.”

SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR 2014/2015 SPONSORS: The District of Tofino The Salt Water Classic Fishing Derby The Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 65 Each of these organizations has made a significant financial contribution to the Legion’s Youth Program. Through their contributions, we will be able to purchase equipment and provide activities for the Youth Program that would have been impossible without their support. Two years since its inception, the Tuesday Night Youth Program has firmly established itself in the Tofino calendar. To further enhance this program, the Legion has hired Kourtney Yeske as Youth Supervisor. Kourtney has a degree in Child & Youth Care and is known by many for her work with the Tofino Children’s Community Centre. Aside from supervision, Kourtney will also initiate greater parental involvement and broaden the program to appeal to the youth of all local communities. There are no membership requirements or fees for parents or youth in the program. We do encourage parents join the Legion so that they, too, can enjoy the Legion’s facilities and have a direct say in its activities in our community. Strong parent and family participation is an important part of the program. Parents are always welcome and we will be looking to parent volunteers to help with supervising the larger numbers of participants we anticipate this year. When opportunities permit, parents are encouraged to join in the fun for ping pong, darts, pool, or whatever else is going on. For information contact, Duncan McMaster (250-725-3177) or Cam MacDonald (250-725-3323). PIZZA NIGHT FOR YOUTH AND PARENTS Tuesday, September 16, from 7 to 9 pm Join us for a special pizza night to kick off the new season. At this session, we will be collecting the important contact and registration information we need to run the program safely and efficiently. In addition to pizza, all of our usual Youth Program facilities will be open to both youth and parents. Parents and young people are all encouraged to join in the activities. We’re hoping to see and meet as many parents as possible but we will happily e-mail a registration form to any parent unable to attend the pizza night. Just drop a note to rcl.65@seaviewcable.net.

The interactive show features roughly 40 songs and 20 characters spanning decades…. and a lot of costume changes. “[Divas] is a hard working one woman show, with my own lights, costumes and custom boobs,” she jokes. We may have heard about the many costume changes that go into a modern diva’s concert but for Kilroe she sometimes has to change a lot more than that in the 30 seconds between bits.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Share your feelings for someone else with that person this week, Virgo. You may regret your actions if you don’t take that emotional leap. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, while you are usually the one who plays peacemaker, this week you are in a position to cause trouble. Don’t worry what others think or say.

Considering my struggles in the morning I can’t image switching from Dolly Parton into Edith Bunker or Madonna into Sharon Osborne in 30 seconds. Costume changes aside, Kilroe is glad to be returning to The West Coast after her first visit in May. At that time she brought her Country Queens show to the Legion and says she had such a great time had to come back. “Personally I love coming out there. I fell in love when I was there in May. The crowd was amazing,” she said in a phone call. Kilroe hopes that the audience response from her last show will bring an even larger crowd this time, “It’s a very interactive sort of show, participation is a large part of it.” So, if you’re in the mood for some comedy, nostalgia or just a little song-and-dance fun consider heading to The Tofino Legion Friday night, tickets are $20 and the show starts at 8. +++ For parents out there trying to find entertainment for the kids during the ongoing teacher strike remember that youth events at The Legion have returned and both Tofino and Ucluelet’s fall Parks and Recreation programs have gotten underway.

ANAF board votes to close uninsured, $18k in debt, clubhouse ANDREW BAILEY

Westerly News A local live music venue and veterans club is closed for business, at least for now. The Ucluelet chapter of the Army, Navy, Air Force Veterans in Canada (ANAF) is not churning up enough patronage to keep up with its bills so, at a meeting held last week, the executive voted to close its clubhouse. Leslie Horne was the only vote in opposition. Prior to the vote, Eric Russcher laid out the club’s financial situation and noted Horne’s efforts to bring in patrons over the summer were valiant. “I won’t say it’s put us in the black but it’s kept us at just below break-even, which is probably as well as we’ve ever done,” he said. “That was great. That was the summer. It did not touch any of our outstanding debts.” He said the ANAF is buried about $18,000 deep in debt after lugging $13,000 of debt into 2014 and racking up another $5,000 so far this year. He said Horne had done a great job rallying memberships but noted membership fees go to the ANAF’s Provincial and Dominion commands, not the local clubhouse. He suggested a key reason why the clubhouse needed to close down is the executive’s inability to afford its $6,000 annual insurance fee. “As it stands now, we have no insurance,” he said. “The idea right now, since we have no insurance, is to close the hall for business effective immediately.” He said the club’s insurance ran out about three months ago leaving the executive’s six directors personally liable for any injuries or damages. Horne asked how the ANAF plans to pay off its debts after cutting off clubhouse customers and Russcher responded a combination of smaller bills and selling off assets—like the club’s pool table and furniture—would do the trick until the building is sold. The clubhouse property is currently listed on RE/MAX at $250,000. Executive member Lucia Lyons asked what would happen if the ANAF fundraised the roughly $18,000 needed to clear its debts. “I, in clear conscious, cannot be sitting on the board that closes this place. I, like a lot of the community, have a lot of attachment to this place,” she said. “I just think there’s so many people that have an attachment to this place and it’s really sad that we can’t do more...because $18,000, in the scheme of everything, is not a ton of money.”

Russcher responded that raising $18,000 would only bring the club back to square one. “After that, you continue going down again,” he said. Executive chair Luc Chagnon said if the money was raised prior to the building being sold, a special general meeting would be held and the ANAF’s general membership could decide whether to reopen the clubhouse. Russcher lamented over roughly 66 years of local history coming to an end but said shutting down the club had become inevitable. “When we had our (annual general meeting) there was a commitment from this executive to find ideas on moving forward to avoid exactly this situation,” he said. “Unfortunately this situation has now hit. If you look at it strictly from a business point of view we should have closed long ago; the only reason we’re still open today is an emotional attachment to this place.” Executive member Rob Adams

agreed. “People are making it sound like we’re going out of our way to defeat the place when that’s not the case,” he said. “It’s not a sound financial business decision to keep it going.” Horne argued the general public was not aware of the situation until recently so had not had time to kick into fundraising mode and she questioned how the clubhouse could be reopened if the executive sells off everything inside. Chagnon replied the executive had no alternative to selling its assets. Chagnon told the Westerly after the meeting that if the executive allows its debt to continue rising, the loss to the community could be ten-fold because the ANAF’s provincial command could seize its assets. “At the situation we are in now,

we’re in danger of losing the whole thing to BC Command,” he said. “They can come take the whole pub (and) if they do that then they sell the property and all the money goes to Vancouver.” He said if the executive sold its assets it could distribute the money to local non-profits. “By us selling the club (and) paying off our debts, we’re still going to have money left aside,” he said. “We want to try to get ahead of the game to prevent BC Command from taking the money and diverting it away from the community. We’re trying to get to that point where, if we have to close our charter, we can donate the money locally.” Executive member Jo-Ann Chagnon noted

few locals attended Wednesday night’s meeting despite all the recent social media chatter in support of saving the club. “There was supposed to be this big uproar of all these people coming tonight to protest the closing of the pub, there’s four people here besides the executive,” she said. Despite the clubhouse shutting down, the Ucluelet ANAF’s charter will continue functioning at least until 2015’s annual general meeting, which will likely be held in February. reporter@westerlynews.ca Left: the ANAF board met and voted to close the clubhouse.

ANAF supporters weigh options, seek solutions venues or places for people just to hang out,” Kromka said “We are part of the younger generation that doesn’t want everybody to sit in their house on the Internet all day...we’d rather people go outside and hang out with the community.” The executive was forced to shut down the clubhouse because of roughly $18,300 worth of debt and an inability to afford the required $6,000 insurance. Kromka left last week’s meeting excited to start raising money to save the clubhouse but has since tempered her expectations. “Initially after the meeting we were stoked and were like ‘yes, let’s raise the money, let’s Public Notice of 2014 General Local Election and make this hapNomination Process / Period pen...We have Notice of Nomination a lot of ideas Public notice is given to the electors of the District of Ucluelet that a General to do diverse Local Election will be held on Saturday, November 15, 2014 to elect one Mayor and four Councilors to the next General Local Election in 2018. events and just Nomination documents can be obtained at the Ucluelet Community Centre take over and go (UCC) office, 500 Matterson Drive, Ucluelet, BC during regular office hours, on,’” she said.

potentially lost cause because if the clubhouse reopens and no one shows up, the efforts will have been for naught. “That’s a lot of money to just throw at a dead horse basically,” she said. “We’re hoping within the next week to drum up some information and get public input.” She said significant fundraising efforts could be initiated if enough people sign on to the idea of saving the clubhouse and if enough money is raised the ANAF executive would call a general meeting and put the clubhouse’s fate in membership’s hands. “Ideally what would happen is we make the money, we have the $20,000 happen, and then the board reconvenes and we get some new people at the general meeting and they decide not to sell it,”

Kromka said. “If they decide not to sell it and we manage to diversify some events, and also diversify the board, maybe it will be fine.” She believes the venue could cater to both younger and older generations and added the community’s seniors have few options for hanging out downtown. “There’s history attached to the Army and Navy and if we can bring back some of those events that reminisce the past why not? Maybe they’ll start coming out and we’ll get, not only the young people motivated to come out, but also the older crowd that used to come out for ice-cream socials and steak nights and all that stuff,” she said. The group of ANAF supporters hosted a table during last week’s Friday Night Market and also planned to set up a table at the Co-op this week to bring locals up to speed on what’s going on and what can be done. Life-long local Bronwyn Kelleher manned Friday’s market table. She recalled a time when the ANAF was booming and suggested a drop in cash flow and comradery brought on the drop in patronage. “We used to be an industry town, logging and fishing were huge and there was an excess of money. Also, being logging and fishing like that it was more of a community. People worked together, lived together, partied together,” she said. “People aren’t going out as much, whereas before it was year-round consistent employment with a good wage so you had extra

income that you could go out with.” She said Ucluelet has become segmented as locals work all-out in the summer months and then hunker down or travel in the winter. “We’ve gone from being an industry town looking in on itself to a tourist town that’s looking out of itself to try to bring things in. We’ve lost that community part,” she said. “The Army and Navy is not for tourists, the Army and Navy is for locals, and honestly this entire town is geared towards tourists; we don’t do anything for ourselves here anymore.” She suggested locals might not have understood the ANAF’s potential while it was operating and said it could be much more than a music venue. “People are like ‘I don’t want to go out on a Friday night to some loud show that’s not my bag of tricks’ but there’s a million other things that could be done,” she said. “It’s an intimate setting for small gatherings...The Army and Navy was waiting for somebody to walk through the doors and pick up this great idea and run with it.” She hopes the town’s younger generation gets on board with saving the venue. “I would hope that the 20-somethings and 30-somethings in this town could step up and realize that this venue has so much to offer and it would be a shame to lose it,” she said. Dave Brown is a local musician who has enjoyed playing at the ANAF for the past six years and is willing to organize fundraising concerts to open its doors back up. “If you expect people to come here and work for the summer... to support the tourism industry, which is the biggest source of income for the town, we need places for them to go shake it off and have some fun,” he said. “If we continuously let venues slide for lack of interest or lack of volunteer work by the community, then we’re not going to be able to entice the workers out here that we need to support our tourism economy.” He said veterans’ clubs like the ANAF allow “post traumatic stress disorder suffering veterans to have a place to go in society to feel welcome,” and added, “We’ve been in conflicts overseas for the last 15-plus years (and) we’re going to have a lot of PTSD vets that are going to need a place to be.” reporter@westerlynews.ca

the show of support since his announcement. A lot of people have joined the NDP since he started campaigning last weekend, he said. “I’m determined as much as everyone else to make a change of the leadership in Ottawa and to bring leadership that can restore the ethical and fair values we believe in as Canadians,” he said. His own children prompted him to finally make the decision to run, he said. “Right now we’re not taking care of our seniors, we’re not working for the better future of our children, we’re not protecting the environment,” he said. “The Conservatives are driving us off a cliff, and we need to find

new pathways for our future. I know we can do better. I see an opportunity to contribute. I’m a stakeholder in the future. “We need to shift away from managing poverty and instead to empowering people and bringing true prosperity to our people,” he said, adding that he seeks to apply innovative and entrepreneurial skills to social, economic and environmental issues. “We need to look out for everyday working Canadians, the elderly and the future of our youth. We need to start fresh and get new leadership. It’s time. We can do better,” Johns said. editor@westerlynews.ca

FESTIVAL Carving on the Edge

The Wood Speaks: Festival blossoms at Shore Pier JACKIE CARMICHAEL

Westerly News Carving on the Edge Festival continues through Sunday, Sept. 14. Showcasing the genius of regional artists, the show is themed “The Wood Speaks.” Tseshaht artist Gordon Dick said the Carving on the Edge Festival is a great event. “It seems to be gaining strength and more recognition each year,” Dick said. This is the second time in the event’s five-year history he has participated. “It’s always good to be around other artists,” he said, adding that traditional First Nations carving continues to gain respect inside and out of the artistic community. “It’s really becoming more and more recognized and sought after, and more artists are taking it up, something that can keep the culture moving and make them proud of their roots and keep the momentum. It was almost extinguished, and now we keep it moving forward,” Dick said. Hesquiaht master carver Tim Paul is something of a guru for the festival. His vision is that it would help people understand the importance of traditional carving. “That we’d understand what I was given to understand – that art is the most powerful part of our culture. When you get together with a neighbour and you create and produce together, there’s a feeling of accomplishment,” he said. Creativity requires expression, he said. “If you have it, and you’re good with your hands, you should produce,” Paul said. Standing by his clear cedar carved and painted

sculpture created from old-growth cedar, “Clear-cut and Dressed,” he said conservation is critical in a world where rivers and old-growth timber need to be preserved for future generations of salmon and artisans. “You must never condemn anything to extinction … Lets save what we have and live with taking what we need,” Paul said. The show continues through Sunday. The venues themselves are works of art, and showcase pieces by Mark Mickey, Keith Plumley, Carl Martin, Robinson Cook, Marika Swan, George Yearsley, Christen Dokk Smith and others. Artists are working at the Carving Shed on north Chesterman beach, the legendary home of the late carver Henry Nolla, from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. daily. Henry was the principal carver of the architectural details of the Wickaninnish Inn as well as a teacher & mentor to many of Tofino’s finest carvers. The Carving Shed has been a Tofino landmark for over 30 years and remains a local carving hub. The carving art show is open at the Shore Pier Building at 368 Main Street from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. daily. www.carvingedgefestival.com
