Peter Devries masterfully landed a frontside air manoeuver in the dying embers of the men’s shortboard final to give him the score he needed to claim his ninth National title. The Mother’s Day victory at Wickaninnish Beach in the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve puts the Canadian surf titan on track to booking a ticket to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. “That was a crazy day. Crazy, crazy day,” Devries said at the awards ceremony. “Thanks to everybody who came down here and supported. Huge thanks to Dom and especially to all the event staff who helped out this week. Thanks to all the judges who put in their time. I know it’s not easy being a judge. Thanks a lot for putting in all the hard work.” The judges awarded Devries an 8.0 for his final wave of the day, which boosted him from third place to first over Cody Young and Shane Campbell. “It was a really fun final. These guys were all ripping. Everybody was surfing so well all week. I’m just happy that last wave came to me at the end. Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there,” Devries said.

NOTICE

Chuck McCarthy was on a fishing trip when he received a call from his wife telling him he had earned back his position as the Ucluelet First Nation's president. Minutes later, his daughter called to celebrate the good news with him as well. “There was quite a bit of excitement,” McCarthy told the Westerly News. “There's a sense of uplifting.” McCarthy secured 86 votes in the First Nation's May 8 election, defeating Christina Klotz, 43 votes, incumbent Les Doiron, 31 votes, and Gordon Taylor 30 votes. “I want to thank the people who have faith in me and voted and even the people that didn't vote. I'm hoping that we move Chuck McCarthy down a positive road in the next four years and to bring us back up to where we were when we signed the treaty,” McCarthy told the Westerly News. McCarthy served as president when the First Nation became self-governing after signing the Maa-nulth Treaty in 2011. He lost his seat to Doiron by a slim 86 to 79 margin in 2015. McCarthy told the Westerly that soon after that election, community members began asking him to run again. “It started early, within the first year of the new president. It was just one of those things that people might have had second thoughts on what the results were,” he said. Political discourse has been tense in the First Nation's community of Hitacu. In July, 2017, protestors demonstrated outside their government building and attempted to evict Doiron from the community. Shortly afterwards, a group of Ucluelet First Nation members calling themselves 'Concerned Citizens for Change' began publicly demanding more transparency from their elected leaders. “People just wanted simple answers from the leadership,” McCarthy said. “It's important for our people, especially through our legislature, to feel like they know what's going on. For us as citizens, speaking for myself over these last four years, very

little information actually flowed to the people.” McCarthy assured his new government will be as transparent as possible and will not hesitate to share information with community members. He said one of his first priorities will be economic development and he questioned recent decisions made around the Nation-owned Wya Point Resort and the Nation’s lands at the Tofino-Ucluelet junction. “We have to reevaluate where we're going,” he said. “We've leased out our surf shop and the restaurant there and now we've leased out the junction, which has potential. And at Wya Point now we're on Airbnb, which is not where we want to be and I don't think it's where the citizens want to be.” As president, McCarthy will work with a legislature of six members who were also elected on May 8. Jenny Touchie, one of the leading voices in the 'Citizens for Change' movement, received the most votes among the Member of Legislature candidates with 159. She is joined by fellow successful candidates Alan McCarthy, 124 votes, Jeneva Touchie, 124 votes, Lorri Touchie, 122 votes, Richard Mundy, 121 votes, and Joyce Patrick, 103 votes. There is also a seat on the Legislature for a representative of the Nation's Hereditary Chiefs, Ha'wiih, but that position has been in flux since Wilson Jack was temporarily removed after being charged with elk poaching in 2016. McCarthy said he hopes to see the Ha'wiih representation restored so that the community can once again benefit from its hereditary leadership and suggested Jack has completed all the conditions placed on him by both the provincial court and Ucluelet First Nation. “It's a positive thing and I think it's been lacking and that's been hard to endure for a lot of people within the community because it just divides and polarizes people” he said. “I've talked to Wilson about it. Once the Chiefs have their meeting, we're looking forward to filling that seat as soon as possible...We'll go from there and work to get the feeling of community back and who we are.”

Hitacu man wants wolf to be shot Dog recovering after attack

Ucluelet / Tofino midislandrealty.com

ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Hitacu resident Ron Douglas wants the wolf that attacked his dog to be killed. “I’d like to see the culprit shot and the other wolves to see it, to make an example,” Douglas told the Westerly News. “We have small kids here and who’s to say [if] they are next? They are smaller than Zeus.” He said his adult children Amy and Devon woke up around 6 a.m. on May 1 to the sounds of what they initially thought was two dogs fighting but, when they went outside, they discovered the family dog Zeus, who Douglas described as a 4-year-old mastiff-shepherd cross, “had been dragged out of his hiding spot under his house.” “Devon came out of his tent to find Zeus fighting the wolf and [Zeus] had [the wolf] pinned by the throat,” he said. “When the wolf saw him, they both looked up and the wolf ran off.” He said Zeus suffered “many cuts and gashes” in the encounter and was rushed to an emergency vet in Nanaimo to receive stitches. He said Zeus is recovering well and suggested the dog’s spiked collar may have saved its life. “The wolf tried to go for his neck,” he said. Douglas said he has lived in Hitacu for about six years and believes wolves are becoming more habituated in the community. “The wolves are here very often as dogs are barking nightly,” he said. “There are more and more sightings…Very bold to attack a full-sized dog.”

“We want to make sure we’ve taken all the necessary steps to prevent this conflict from reoccurring.” – Sgt. Stuart Bates Sgt. Stuart Bates of the B.C. Conservation Officer Service told the Westerly News that the COS does not plan to kill the wolf and suggested the May 1 attack should serve as a reminder to all West Coast residents that they share a landscape with predators. “Wolves will not tolerate dogs in their territory,” he said. “In particular here, wolves have simply learned to see dogs as competition and they also see them as a food source.”

AREA ‘C’ LONG BEACH

PUBLIC MEETING THURSDAY, MAY 16, 2019, 5:00 PM

Two habituated wolves were killed on the West Coast in 2017. One by the COS in Ucluelet and the other by Pacific Rim National Park Reserve personnel near Florencia Bay. The latter incident involved a wolf that had attacked a leashed dog next to its owner. Bates said last week’s attack does not necessarily reflect concerning wolf activity because Zeus had been alone outside. He said the COS does not plan to kill the wolf, unless further reports of escalating behaviour come in. “If there’s a person standing there and the wolf’s totally ignoring people, that’s a different ballgame… At this point, it’s not what we call human-habituated,” he said. “We want to make sure we’ve taken all the necessary steps to prevent this conflict from reoccurring, because if whatever got the wolf in

trouble in the first place isn’t corrected, another one will simply take its place. If everyone in Ucluelet and Tofino had their dogs running around willy-nilly and I shot a wolf every time one killed a dog, I’d run out of bullets before I ran out of wolves…It’s like garbage for bears, as long as the attractants are there, in this case it’s dogs, the wolves will just keep doing it.” He encourages residents to report any wolf encounters to the COS at 1-877-952-7277 and added that descriptions or photos of the wolf can help determine next steps. “Wolves are usually pretty distinctive and, if we have to, we will remove a wolf that starts to show aggressive or predatory behaviour against people,” he said. “But, we’d need enough reports to determine that we’re getting the right wolf.”

B.C. VIEWS

Welcome to the union ‘battle zone’ for pipeline construction One of the big battles of the Christy Clark years was imposing an open-shop construction contract for the Site C dam project in northeast B.C. B.C. Hydro’s latest dam is the first to depart from the closed shop of boilermakers, pipefitters, teamsters and other old-school international unions that have been joined at the hip with the NDP since the party formed. The main civil works contract for Site C, the largest in this $10 billion project, went to a consortium of contractors with a workforce represented by the Christian Labour Association of Canada (CLAC). John Horgan and other NDP politicians seethed as Clark took the stage with Tom Sigurdson, executive director of the B.C. and Yukon Building Trades Council, to announce the shared site. Now Horgan and his labour minister, former United Steelworkers employee Harry Bains, are turning back the clock to a monopoly of U.S.-based

on a new Labour Relations Code. The experts recommended a three-year period between “raids” to sign up workers of another union. Horgan and Bains accepted the stability this offers, except for big construction. There, unions can raid every July and August when building activity is at its peak. There was already a raid on Site C in 2017. Labourers, Teamsters and Operating Engineers organizers descended on Fort St. John airport to meet CLAC workers, in some cases following them into the massive work camp to lobby them to sign a new card. It failed, but the new legislation welcomes them back. It turns construction sites into a summer “battle zone,” said Paul de Jong, president of the Edmonton-based Progressive Contractors Association of Canada, which works with CLAC, other multiskill unions and provinces with sensible raid rules.

TOFINO MUST RECONSIDER BUDGET

WELL DONE WEST COAST STUDENTS

Re: Tax hike in Tofino; District expects 53% increase over 5 years. Westerly News, April 10. The District of Tofino and staff need to to understand that a property tax increase of 50%, over the next four years is completely absurd. There is no other district on Vancouver Island asking taxpayers for increases for anything even remotely close to what our Council is promoting. Residents and businesses need to be able to rely on council and staff to show sound fiscal management, a 50% property tax increase over four years. is nothing close prudent fiscal management. We cannot afford to do everything, even with grant money. Can we afford a new 10 million plus recreation facility, new MUP’s and all the services and facilities we are told we need? Addressing another costly issue, Tofino Housing Corporation has cost and is costing taxpayers huge sums of money, with study after study and no real tangible results. Affordable housing supply should be left to the development industry who can supply housing , years quicker and cheaper than a housing corporation. To solve our critical housing crisis, Council needs to zone land, in a timely manner for housing, at no cost to the taxpayer and let developers take the risk. Taxpayers do not need to be in the costly housing business. I am asking Council to reconsider their budget, realizing that residents and businesses are struggling as it is. Tofino is already a very expensive place to live and run a business. Tim Hackett Tofino

As a passing through Ucluelet and Tofino tourist from Sudbury Northern Ontario, I was shocked at the passion by local high school students about Climate Change! Congratulations to all students who shared the FFF striking (Fridays For Future) movement on May 3rd with other students literally from around the world. Led by 15 year old Greta Thunberg from Sweden, youth aren’t happy with more talk about Climate Change. They want action and they want it now! Youth want adults to listen to the scientists and follow the recommendations of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) and the Paris Accord. Ucluelet to Tofino are spectacular areas to behold. However, even in this beautiful area of Canada, there is evidence of the impacts of Climate Change in wetlands, on beaches with insects and birds and with storms. Keep it up students! The next world wide strike on Climate Change is on Friday, September 6th. Jane Cox Sudbury, Ontario

Tofino hospital cheers free public internet

TGHF commits to covering costs ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Hospital patients in Tofino now have access to free wireless Internet thanks to the Tofino General Hospital Foundation. “Tofino General Hospital is a small rural site and many of our patients and visitors have to travel some distance to be here,” said TGH Site Director Michelle Hanna through an Island Health media release. “Having Wi-Fi Josie Osborne will help them stay connected to their family and friends at home.” The Tofino General Hospital Foundation has committed to cover the service’s annual operating cost—estimated to be around $1,300 per year—and Island Health will provide the service through the hospital’s existing Wi-Fi system, according to the release. “We’re really happy to support this service at the hospital,” said Tofino General Hospital Foundation Chair Arlene McGinnis. “Many people rely on Wi-Fi and when they’re confined to a hospital room it’s important to be able to stay connected.” Tofino mayor Josie Osborne told the Westerly News she is perpetually grateful of the Foundation’s unwavering contributions to the

Public Wi-Fi has arrived at Tofino General Hospital.

“Many people rely on Wi-Fi and when they’re confined to a hospital room it’s important to be able to stay connected.” – Arlene McGinnis community’s hospital and she’s happy to see free internet service arrive. “Burning through data on a mobile phone plan is expensive and creates an extra burden for people at a time when they are trying to focus on getting well, and further, some people don’t have data-enabled devices,” she said. “Free Wi-Fi means patients and their visitors can use devices like tablets to stay connect to family, friends and the larger world. It might not seem like a medical issue, but staying connected while you are in the hospital is really important.”

Members of Judy Gray’s RE/MAX Mid-Island Reality team celebrated with the Ride the Rim cyclists in Ucluelet on Friday. The Ride the Rim squad pedalled from Port Alberni to Ucluelet and back to promote healthy living.

RE/MAX Ride the Rim promotes healthy living ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Nine enthusiastic cyclists conquered Sutton Pass twice on Friday to promote healthy living. The RE/MAX Ride the Rim team left Port Alberni at 7:15 a.m. and arrived at Ucluelet’s RE/ MAX Mid-Island Realty office around noon where they were treated to lunch and received a $500 donation. “We’re excited to host the riders every year, they work really hard for the cause,” said RE/MAX’s Marcie Gray. “It’s a really long distance and a really hard ride.” The ride was launched by Robin Nadig about

16 years ago as a way to combat Type 2 diabetes in youth by educating them about sugar content in their food and encouraging them to eat well and be active. “What we were seeing was that Type 2 diabetes in children was growing, but we also knew that it was preventable,” she said. For the ride’s first 10 years, Nadig and her team cycled across Vancouver Island over a six-day trek. To get themselves pumped up for their Island-wide experience, the riders cycled from Port Alberni to Ucluelet and back about a week prior to the main event. While the Island-wide ride is no longer held, the Port Alberni to Ucluelet ride remains.

“I did it for the children and for the love of the sport,” team member Bryce Blake told the Westerly News after arriving in Ucluelet on Friday. “I feel people afflicted with this terrible disease need as much support as possible and we’re fighting for a cure each and every day.” “It’s important to help people because maybe one day you might need help,” added fellow team member Chris Daradics Collin Sim said his brother is battling diabetes and it’s important to help kids understand how they can prevent being inflicted by it themselves. “It’s a great ride and it’s for a good cause,” he said.

“I love it. We look forward to this every year.” Roberta Wilson said she has a passion for setting difficult goals for herself and achieving them and that the cause in an important one to promote. “People need to be aware of how sugar affects children. So, we need to raise money to raise awareness of sugar and how people just overdo it.” Nadig said local RE/MAX owners Judy Gray and Carl Scott have been a tremendous support for the ride’s entire 16-year history. “They’ve sponsored us every year,” she said. “Carl and Judy are amazing. They support so many activities….They’ve just been terrific.” Read more at www.WesterlyNews.ca

#102-1801 Bay Street, Ucluelet

Bethany Zelasko defended her crown as the women’s shortboard National champ in a tight final against Paige Alms, Sanoa Dempfle-Olin, and Mathea Dempfle-Olin. “Training here has been tough and I feel like it’s really paid off, all the time I’ve put in here, so I’m really stoked on that,” Zelasko told the Westerly News after the awards show. The Californian pro surfer with a Canadian-born mother said Wickaninnish Beach is a challenging wave. “It’s not easy. It’s not a defined peak. There are so many places to sit out there. It’s a matter of time in the water and finding out where the waves are and getting too I guess. Just being in the right place at the right time,” said Zelasko, who won the Queen of the Peak at Cox Bay in 2017. Tofino surfer Sanoa Dempfle-Olin left the beach with a rainbow of medals jiggling around her neck. The 13-yearold won gold in the girls U18, silver in the girls U16, and bronze in the women’s shortboard. “It’s always really special to win. I’m really happy I got to push myself and compete against my sister. I love competing against her. We are always pushing each other. It feels good to get a win against her,” said Sanoa. Californian-Canadian Wheeler Hasburgh, 13, defended his boys U18 title and Tofino’s Reed Platenius defended his boys U16 title. “It’s so insane having all these guys here and pushing the level. It’s made me surf so much better,” said Platenius. Wheeler said his fourth place finish in the U16 fired him up for the U18 event. “After that U16 final, I just thought, I’m going go for it. I really tried to back up my heat and just tried to smash it again,” Wheeler said. Young Hawaiian-Canadian Finn Spencer claimed gold in the SUP men’s event while Tofino’s Catherine Bruhwiler defended her SUP women’s crown. “[The final] was really challenging. The waves were really big, it was super bumpy. I would stand up and paddle for waves and feel like I was barely holding on. But all in all the waves

Peter Devries cheers after winning the 2019 Rip Curl Nationals men’s shortboard title on an action packed Mother’s Day afternoon at Wickaninnish Beach. With only 30-seconds remaining in the four-man final, Devries performed a frontside air reverse on his last wave to get the score he needed to nab gold.

“It’s so insane having all these guys here and pushing the level.” – Reed Platenius were actually amazing,” said the mom of competitive junior surfer Kalum Temple Bruhwiler. In the longboard division, Tofino’s Lydia Ricard was runner up to Australian-Canadian Lucy Ruffy and Ucluelet’s own David Schiaffino

cruised his way to the top of the men’s podium. “I decided to go longboarding fulltime a year ago. The last three weeks, I’ve been stuck here just surfing Wickaninnish in any condition. I think it paid the effort,” said Peruvian Schiaffino, who was awarded his Canadian permanent residency a couple years ago. “I’m really happy to represent Canada. It would be a dream come true. I’ve surfed so many competitions and I’ve never ended first, ever. This is some accomplishment.”

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 You must be very honest in your relationships this week, Cancer. Don’t confuse opinions with the truth. Maintain an open dialogue with others around you.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Guessing will only get you so far, Leo. Instead, you must base decisions off fact and forethought; otherwise, you may end up having to do everything all over.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Take a break from alone time and make reservations for dinner for two or more, Virgo. Socializing is invaluable and can have a positive, long-lasting effect on your relationships.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 It’s alright to cede a little control this week, Libra. Delegating and sharing responsibilities can open your eyes to the talented people

around you. Don’t feel guilty about taking on less work.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 You are a creative force who inspires others to take up their own projects or follow their hearts, Scorpio. Expect others to recognize your influence and express their appreciation.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, take a step back and slow down the pace if you find you have been spreading yourself too thin. This is not giving up, but taking a break.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Some pretty big ideas may inspire you to do some impressive things, Capricorn. You just need to find an investor and put some firm plans on paper.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 It can be challenging to be productive if your house isn’t in order, Aquarius. Give your personal life some attention and tend to affairs that may have been on the back burner for awhile.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, take charge of a mission by encouraging others to stay focused on the task at hand. You need to be the ringleader and set an example for others to follow.

Plastic bag ban challenged Visit your local community Black Press Media newspaper website & click on the E-EDITIONS button at the top of the page.

The Canadian Plastic Bag Association is challenging the City of Victoria at the provincial courts on Wednesday. In June 2018 the B.C. Supreme Court ruled in favour of the City of Victoria, and dismissed a legal challenge by the CPBA against the city’s Checkout Bag Regulation Bylaw. As a result, single-use plastic bags were banned in the city starting July 1, 2018. The association had claimed the ban would “significantly impact” its members who manufacture and supply bags for the Victoria market, and began lobbying against the move in January 2018. Court documents show that the hearing is set to address whether the city actually has the authority to adopt a bylaw that prohibits businesses from providing plastic bags to customers, and requires them to charge a fee for paper and reusable bags. Under the current model, businesses must charge a minimum of 15 cents for paper bags, and $1 for reusable bags. Since the City of Victoria adopted the bylaw, the District of Saanich and the Township of Esquimalt have been taking measures to eliminate plastic bags by January 2020. The District of Sooke also plans

The fire at a Mount Benson Street building displaced at least half a dozen people and sparked an RCMP investigation. Crews were called to a four-alarm fire at 7:20 a.m. and found a fire in an upper unit of the building. Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman, said a resident of the building who had left the scene was located and taken into police custody. He was detained on an arson charge but RCMP have also requested a psychiatric evaluation. Ennis Mond, chief fire prevention officer with Nanaimo Fire Rescue, couldn’t say the cause of the fire but said no one was hurt. – www.nanaimobulletin.com

Van catches fire in Ukee ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

A van caught fire at the Island West Resort campground in Ucluelet around 7 p.m. Friday. Lyle Morrow witnessed the fire and told the Westerly News that the van was driving out of the campground’s parking lot when three people and a dog jumped out of it. “There was a bunch of smoke coming out from under the dash,” he said. He said he and two other bystanders immediately grabbed fire extinguishers from their campsites and raced towards the van to put the fire out. “The three fire extinguishers did nothing…The three of us emptied our fire extinguishers to no avail,” he said. “It took probably five minutes and that thing was just engulfed in flames. It happened really fast…It was insane. When those flames started coming out from under the dash, instantly everything started. The tires were exploding. The windows were blowing out of it. We kept hearing lots of little explosions of little things blowing up.” He said he and other witnesses watched in horror as the flames grew near the tree line.

LYLE MORROW PHOTO

Lyle Morrow captured this shot of a van engulfed in flames in Ucluelet on Friday night. “It was pretty scary because it was so close to the trees there, but it’s just lucky with the way the wind was blowing. It was blowing the smoke and flames away from the forest just by fluke,” he said. “If that wind had of been blowing towards the forest, it could have been a different scenario.” He said the Ucluelet Volunteer Fire Brigade arrived and had the fire out

within 10 minutes. “We were just relieved that the forest didn’t catch fire. We knew we couldn’t do anything with that van, but we were pretty concerned about the forest catching on fire,” he said. He said there were no injuries, though the dog was “freaked out.” A cause for the fire was not immediately known by presstime.
