Habitat home on the horizon?

See page 3‘Pilot projects...’

By Kathy O’Reilly-TaylorEditorA Habitat for Humanity home could be built

on the North Island.Representatives from Vancouver Island

North Habitat for Humanity, Tom Beshr and Pat McKenna, appeared as a delegation at the District of Port Hardy regular council meeting Jan. 12 to talk about the program.

Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI), is an international, non-governmental, and non-profit organization, which was founded

in 1976.“One of the common misconceptions is that

people think we give away free houses,” said McKenna.

That is not the case.“We sell our houses to our families.” Each house is built using volunteer labour,

and each homeowner must complete 500 hours of ‘sweat equity’ in lieu of a cash down pay-ment.

“It’s quite a commitment,” McKenna said.The target group is those that earn between

$20,000 and $40,000 a year, he said. The mortgage is interest free, “which really keeps the costs down.”

The program is a hand up, not a hand out, with a goal of breaking the cycle of poverty.

Studies have shown that it “really gives a hand up to the child as well,” McKenna said.

In order to fund expenses for the builds on the North Island, Habitat for Humanity has two ReStore Donation Centres in Campbell River and Courtenay.

By Kathy O’Reilly-TaylorEditorThe District of Port

Hardy is not taking no for an answer.

At their regular meet-ing Jan. 12, council discussed a letter from Health Minister Terry Lake to North Island MLA Claire Trevena

stating that pay parking will go ahead at new hospitals in Campbell River and Courtenay.

“Because Campbell River Hospital has been a non-paying site to date, maintenance and other costs associ-ated with the parking facilities have been born (sic) out of general

health authority funding which can now be better directed to patient care,” wrote Lake. “Island Health does provide subsidized parking to patients and families in cases where fees may result in financial hardship, and a social worker connected to the hospital can rec-

ommend a financial hardship permit or an alternative transporta-tion option,” Lake said.

“I still find this some-what problematic. The onus is on the person to prove they’re poor,” said Councillor Fred Robertson.

“I don’t think we should let this stop,”

said Councillor Pat Corbett-Labatt. “We should write another letter,” Corbett-Labatt said, stating that there is precedent in Delta, BC, where the mayor has forbidden parking fees.

“The true North Island is getting the raw end of the stick,” said Mayor Hank Bood.

“After two and a half to three hours of driving we don’t want to pay for parking,” said Councillor Rick Marcotte. Council directed administration to send another letter asking the hospitals be fee free.

Continued from Page 1

These centres receive new and used furniture and build-ing materials donat-ed by homeowners, contractors, retailers and manufacturers, and sell them to the public at prices that are 30 to 75 per cent below retail.

The two locations bring in $1.3 million a year.

Money raised through sales covers 100 per cent of the cost of operations. Every dollar donated goes directly towards building homes.

“We’re looking for champions for the program (in the area),” said McKenna.

“One of the most difficult things for us is finding families. It’s all about collabo-ration,” he said.

Mayor Hank Bood asked what “triggers you to action.”

“Need is the trig-ger,” McKenna said,

adding that while they sometime pur-chase land, a dona-tion by the munici-pality would also push things forward.

“If we had land, I think we could make it happen,” McKenna said.

Habi ta t for Humanity is a grass-

roots movement, he said.

“It really comes from the community. Obviously a piece of land gifted to us would be wonderful.

“That’s one piece of the puzzle.

“We need champi-ons to drum support,” he said.

Kathy O’Reilly-Taylor PhotoIcy Roads Wreak Havoc

Icy roads resulted in Port Hardy Emergency Services personnel being called out Jan. 13 to two separate motor vehicle accidents. One single-vehicle accident occurred at approximately 8:22 a.m. at the turnoff to Bear Cove Road. The woman was southbound on Highway 19 when she hit ice and slid across the road and into the ditch on the other side. The woman was not seriously injured. The second accident occurred near the Port Alice turnoff when another vehicle went into the ditch. There were no serious injuries in this accident. Icy road conditions were contributing factors in both accidents, said Port Hardy RCMP St.Sgt. Gord Brownridge.

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR

2015!Looking

forward to serving you in 2016!!!

In the early days of this new year, readers have advised me to do several things. I’ll go with one that seems relatively painless, embracing the “sunny ways” of our new federal government and seeking optimism in these fragile times.

For starters, we have a building boom going on in the southwest. Here in Victoria, cranes dot the skyline as new residential-commercial projects emerge from bedrock, and hardhats are mostly on construction workers, scratched and backwards, rather than shiny and forward on politicians.

Shipyards are busy, with Royal Canadian Navy work and cruise ship refits to reduce their emissions, plus work on fer-ries, tugboats and barges.

Most of the activity is private investment, much of it in a hot housing market. Surrey has just recorded its second-highest total for building permits in history, a value of $1.46 billion nearly matching the pre-recession peak of 2007.

Thousands of provincial employees get a small raise in February, based on stronger than forecast economic growth in 2014. It works out to $300 a year for a medical technologist and $346 for a teacher.

Health care costs are rising less dramatically. That should ease the crisis atmosphere at provincial and federal health ministers’ negotiations over the funding formula, taking place this week in Vancouver. Health Minister Terry Lake announced last week that the province is increasing funding for a promising program in cancer research, using genetic analysis to improve targeting for drugs to treat the hundreds of different cancers diagnosed in B.C. patients each year.

The B.C. Cancer Agency’s new director, Dr. Malcolm Moore, oncologist Dr. Janessa Laskin and Dr. Marco Marra, director of the agency’s Genome Science Centre, described a world-leading centre of research that is reaching out to spe-cialists and their patients across the province and attracting international funding and talent for ground-breaking research.

Outside the urban regions, where retail sales and real estate mainly drive the economy, sunny ways are harder to find. The mining and natural gas sectors are in the grip of a slump in commodity prices, with more temporary mine closures expected. The forest industry is being helped by the low Canadian dollar and a steady recovery in the U.S. economy, and tourism is expected to have another strong year as Americans take advantage of a discount on visits to B.C.

Central 1 Credit Union broke down the regional employ-ment numbers for B.C. in 2015, and found job growth in every region except the Cariboo. Province-wide employment grew 1.2 per cent last year, ahead of the national rate. That may not sound like much, but compared to Alberta’s oil-dependent economy, it’s pretty good.

Construction of a new dam on the Peace River is expected to ramp up this year, bringing workers home from Alberta, and the federal government is planning to fast-track its prom-ised infrastructure spending to create work across the country.

Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett was in Toronto last week to ring the opening bell at the stock exchange with B.C. mining industry representatives.

Not much sun on mining stocks these days, but Bennett’s sales pitch to an investor luncheon included reference to two more mines under construction in northwest B.C., the prov-ince’s Pacific Rim trade advantage, and revenue sharing with First Nations that is attracting attention of other provinces.

The Conference Board of Canada has forecast that B.C.’s economy will “lead the country by a wide margin over the near term,” with unemployment declining in 2016.

We’re at the mercy of global forces, but things could be a whole lot worse.

This week is the first paper of my second year at the North Island Gazette. Time flies.

I think back to when I first took my giant leap of faith and moved to the North Island. I arrived here in January of 2015, wet behind the ears - and not just because of the rain. While I absolutely love the North Island, I remember being overwhelmed by the job. It was a steep learning curve, par-ticularly since, for a time, I was on my own. I remember being the only one in the office for a week and having people call ask-ing questions. I had no answers, except I’m sorry I don’t know, but I will find out for you.

My comfort was writing stories, fortunately, in this busi-ness that is something that never changes, or is upgraded.

I was delighted and thankful when Lilian Meerveld came to work in the office full time (saved my butt) - she, fortunately, knows almost everything and took a huge weight off my shoulders. Former Publisher Sandy Grenier has also been a gracious resource, as has Campbell River Mirror Publisher Dave Hamilton.

When I first arrived, a lot of my time was spent looking for things.

I remember getting lost trying to find the Regional District of Mount Waddington office.

I remember getting lost trying to find the Town of Port McNeill office.

I remember getting lost trying to find Eagle View Elementary School here in Hardy.

The first trip to Port Alice was an eye opener, although I have grown to love that windy drive and the beautiful little community that lies at the end of the it.

I am so thankful to the people from the various com-munities that have helped me over the last year both pro-fessionally and personally. The mayors and councils and staff of each community have been great to deal with as have the board and staff of the Regional District of Mount Waddington.

Former Port McNeill Mayor Gerry Furney took me on a tour, complete with 50 years of history, of his community.

I was delighted to learn that old friends Clayton and Emma Twamley were living in Port Alice. Const. Twamley was stationed there with the RCMP. They have since moved, but having them here for six months was a big help, particular Emma, who became my Port Alice roving photographer.

Sandra and Sandy Masales not only provided shelter for me and Maya for the first six months that I lived here, but took me under their wing and provided me with much-needed, and greatly-appreciated, friendship in what was a huge transition for me. And my own family who supported me in this endeavour.

I am also fortunate to have developed relationships with freelance writers Trish Weatherall (Port Alice) and David Faren (Alert Bay) who have helped the Gazette provide coverage of these two communities as well as columnists Brenda McCorquodale and Gordon Henschel, and car-toonist Larry Woodall. They add so much to the content of this paper.

Over the next 12 months I hope to continue to explore and learn more and more about the North Island and its people and would like to thank our readers and advertisers for supporting what we do - providing a historical record of the Tri-Port area. It means a lot to me.

Things that are going well in BC

Shore Lines

byKathy

O’Reilly-Taylor

By Kathy O’Reilly-TaylorEditorNorth Island/Powell

River MP Rachel Blaney was on a “mini-tour” of the North Island last week.

Blaney spent time in Alert Bay and also made stops at the Regional District of Mount Waddington office in Port McNeill and at the District of Port Hardy regular council meeting Jan. 12.

Blaney explained to council that her’s is the third largest riding in British Columbia; and she has been tasked as the critic for Multiculturalism and deputy critic for Infrastructure and Communities.

Mayor Hank Bood said it was “fortuitous” for the North Island that Blaney has those two specific portfolios.

The District is look-ing to upgrade the pool and recreation complex and “we’re interested in seeing how the grants roll out that have been promised by the feds,” Bood said.

“We have a limited amount of resources,” he added.

Councillor Fred Robertson said the dis-trict is also going to have to upgrade its wastewater treatment facilities, and “we can’t do it by ourselves.”

“It’s a high prior-ity for our community,” agreed Councillor Pat Corbett-Labatt.

“I know that there are some major concerns” about infrastructure on the North Island, said Blaney, adding that she has met with Federal Infrastructure Minister Amarjeet Sohi and Minister for Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard, Hunter Tootoo, to dis-cuss urgent matters on Vancouver Island.

For instance, Blaney urged Minister Tootoo to cancel the clo-sure of the Comox MCTS (Marine Communication and Traffic Services) Centre.

Blaney said she is working “to build good relationships” with these ministers.

Port Hardy is a big fishing town and has the largest unloading of ground fish in BC now, said Councillor Rick Marcotte.

The district is having to deal with ships “that have been left to rot” in the harbour, because with the present licens-ing system “the boats are worthless.”

As a result, the dis-trict is having to absorb the cost to put them “in the dumpster,” said Marcotte.

“Licensing and the quota system has real-ly been a detriment,” Marcotte said, adding that selling their boats was once a fisherman’s retirement plan.

“I’m wondering if there is something you could do about it,” Marcotte asked.

“That comes up often enough that I told him (Minister Tootoo) that was a big issue,” she said.

Councillor Jessie Hemphill, who was tele-conferencing the meet-ing, asked Blaney about the Build Canada Fund. Hemphill explained that the Province of British Columbia “takes a huge cut off the top of these grants” before they get to the municipalities and asked if the prov-ince could be lobbied to adopt a model simi-lar to Manitoba where “100 per cent goes to the municipalities.”

Councillor Dennis Dugas raised the sub-ject of BC Ferries.

Blaney said the issue is something that has “come up again and again.”

She explained that it is largely a provin-cial issue, however she would like to “make sure there is funding available for BC Ferries to apply for.”

Blaney told coun-cil her main constitu-ency office will be in Campbell River, and she was asked if she would have anyone working on the North Island.

Blaney said she would not, because they “have a limited amount of resources” and there are logistical issues, but she plans to have staff in the North Island

more often.“I understand it’s not

the same as having peo-ple living in the com-munity,” she said.

“It’s a really big job

that you’ve undertak-en,” said Bood, add-ing that the district and the MP need “to work together as best we can to get things done.”

“We’re all in this together and if people don’t tell me, I don’t know to do (things) differently,” said Blaney.

By Kathy O’Reilly-TaylorEditorA request to set off

fireworks Feb. 9 to cel-ebrate Chinese New Year has been tabled by District of Port Hardy

Council.The matter was

addressed at the regular meeting of council Jan. 12.

Mayor Hank Bood felt council needed more time to consider

the request.Denny Seto and

Robert Johnson have asked to have a fire-works display at 5160 Fan Shaw Street in Storey’s Beach, between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m.

Between 20 and 50 people are expected to attend and the value of fireworks to be set off is about $1,000.

Under the district’s current bylaw it is ille-gal to discharge fire-

works except on Oct. 31 between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. unless there are exceptional circum-stances approved by the Chief Administrative Officer or their desig-nate.

In this case, the appli-cants need to have a pyrotechnics permit; an explosive regulatory division event approv-al; a fire safety plan approved by the fire chief; site plan; event description; etc. and proof that the applicant has proper certifica-tion by the Explosives Regulatory Division.

“I am concerned about the neighbours” and that the display is to take four hours, said Councillor Rick Marcotte.

“I’m not sure that is a good spot for that (either). It’s a little unusual that it’s at a sin-

gle address,” Marcotte said.

Corporate Services Director Heather Nelson-Smith said that if council waited until Jan. 26 to approve the request that would leave the organizers only 10 days to get all the necessary documents together.

Mayor Hank Bood suggested the organiz-ers be told everything that is required to put on the display if the request is approved so they can get started with the pro-cess.

Council agreed to table the request until their next meeting.


Chinese New Year fireworks request tabled

By Tyson WhitneyReporterThe Town of Port McNeill was quiet as a

church mouse during the winter holidays. “Christmas and New Year’s went off without

a hitch,” RCMP Cpl. Todd Pebernat said during his report to the Port McNeill Town Council on Monday, Jan. 4, adding that he’s “never worked in a community where New Year’s was so quiet.” Pebernat also stated that the Cram the Cruiser event was a “great success,” as they collected 4,500 pounds of food and $3,000, all of which went to the Harvest Food Bank, and that the event is “something we will definitely continue.”

By Tyson WhitneyReporterPort McNeill Town Council met at 7:30 p.m.

for the last time on Monday, Jan. 4. From now on, the start time for council meet-

ings will be a half hour earlier at 7 p.m. Mayor Shirley Ackland said the change “is so that our meetings - especially if we have an in-camera meeting afterwards - can conclude before it gets very late into the evening.” The “consensus was we were all there by 7 p.m. anyway,” Ackland said.

McNeill meetings move to 7 p.m.

Quiet Christmas for McNeill Mounties

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN

The use of pesticides is intended within the area to which the Pest Management Plan (PMP) applies.

The purpose of the proposed PMP is to control vegetation under, above and near BC Hydro’s power lines in

order to maintain the safe and reliable delivery of electricity to our customers. This plan applies to all areas of

British Columbia where BC Hydro manages its transmission and distribution system and associated power line

corridors, access roads and helipads.

The proposed duration of the PMP is from April 2016 to April 2021.

Vegetation incompatible with the operation of the power system will be controlled using: physical (manual

brushing, mowing, girdling, grooming, pruning, tree removal), cultural (compatible land use), biological

(release of parasitic insects to control invasive plants), and chemical (herbicide application) techniques,

or any combination of these methods.

The active ingredients and trade names of the herbicides proposed for use under this plan include:

○ aminocyclopyrachlor and metsulfuron-methyl – Navius or equivalent

○ aminopyralid – Milestone or equivalent

○ aminopyralid and metsulfuron-methyl – ClearView or equivalent

○ aminopyralid, metsulfuron-methyl, and fluroxypyr – Sightline or equivalent

○ aminopyralid, metsulfuron-methyl and triclopyr – Clearview Brush or equivalent

○ Chondrostereum purpureum – Chontrol or equivalent

○ clopyralid – Lontrel or equivalent

○ diflufenzopyr and dicamba – Distinct, Overdrive, or equivalent

○ glyphosate – Vantage, Vision or equivalent

○ imazapyr – Arsenal Powerline or equivalent

○ metsulfuron-methyl – Escort or equivalent

○ picloram and 2,4-D – Aspect or equivalent

○ triclopyr – Garlon products or equivalent

○ 2,4-D – LV700 or equivalent

Adjuvant products may also be combined on occasion with an herbicide to improve its effectiveness, such as:

nonylphenoxy polyethoxy ethanol – Agral 90, paraffinic oils – Gateway, octadec-9-enoic acid as methyl

and ethyl esters – Hasten NT, or siloxylated polyether – Xiameter or equivalents.

The proposed methods for applying herbicides include: cut surface, basal bark, backpack foliar (low pressure

spray), mechanical foliar (boom, nozzle, powerhose, or wick), or injection (hack and squirt, lance or syringe)

techniques.

A draft copy of the proposed PMP is available at bchydro.com/pestplanforcorridors.

Alternatively, it’s available in person at 6911 Southpoint Drive, Burnaby; 1401 Kalamalka Lake Road, Vernon;

18475 128 Street, Surrey; 400 Madsen Road, Nanaimo; 3333 22 Avenue, Prince George.

BC Hydro, the applicant for the proposed PMP, is located at 6911 Southpoint Drive, Burnaby, B.C., V3N 4X8.

Please contact Tom Wells, Vegetation Program Manager, at 604 516 8943 or [email protected]

for more information.

A person wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the

pest management plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant at the above address within 30 days

of the publication notice.

Harbouring a BargeThis log-filled barge, guided by a tugboat, was spotted in Hardy Bay Jan. 8.

By Kathy O’Reilly-TaylorEditorPeggy Johnston-Dussome from

Port Hardy is warning the public about an internet scam.

On Boxing Day, Peggy and her husband Tim Dussome purchased a laptop computer from Staples in Campbell River.

Tim booted the computer up and was Googling some informa-tion when the screen froze and the Microsoft Windows Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) came up seemingly from Microsoft.

“The message told me to please call a number. I called the guy and he asked me a few questions and he began manipulating screens on the computer,” said Dussome.

“Then he instructed me that he could clean it up remotely or I could take it to Staples to have it repaired for $299.99,” he said.

“I told him I didn’t have a cred-it card on me and that I would phone him back the next day,” said

Dussome.“I talked to a few people and they

said ‘no don’t do it’. So I didn’t call him back and decided to take it to Staples instead.”

“However, the man called Tim back and tried to pressure him into giving the credit card number,” said Johnston-Dussome.

When the couple took it to Staples, employees verified that this is a scam.

“We are just warning others so they don’t get duped, because it looks so official,” Johnston-Dussome said.

According to ZDNet, scammers are waiting at the other end for these calls, where they pretend to be Windows support and offer their victims expensive and non-existent “support packages” defrauding users of anything from $199 to $599.

However, this isn’t necessarily the end of the story. Malwarebytes says innocent personal computer users may also end up having their identity stolen and bank accounts drained of funds.

Locals target of scam

By Trish WeatherallFor the GazetteA free all-day busi-

ness development workshop is open to the public at the Port Alice Community Centre Jan. 30. The workshop aims to answers questions like: What businesses are needed? What is viable? What can I do? Where do I start? Who can help?

“The goals are to gather people and ideas for business and com-munity development and make connections,” says volunteer coordina-tor Susan Mohler, “and to make information available from a variety of sources, to answer the unknowns that keep people from moving forward.”

The event is an inter-active day of discus-sion, ideas, shared knowledge, encourage-ment, and support with six sessions covering: Review and discussion of current economic development goals and plans; Testimonials, advice and Q&A with recent entrepreneurs and established busi-ness owners; The busi-

ness start-up process, by Community Futures; How-to start a Bed & Breakfast, by B&B owners; Alternative business models includ-ing co-ops and partner-ships, by Community Futures; Tourism mar-keting and potentially viable business ideas, by North Vancouver Island Tourism. Mohler, a stained-glass artist and entrepreneur, recently opened Seaside Studio and Gallery in her

ocean-front Port Alice home after re-locating from Terrace, B.C., a year and a half ago.

She attended the Port Alice Economic Development Open House in September and saw that many people were interested in starting a business, and felt that a business development workshop could help to motivate and inform people.

Mohler has expe-rience to back up her

drive. In Terrace she operated a successful art gallery, helped orga-nize and promote local cultural events and fes-tivals, and volunteered at the Terrace Visitor Centre.

“Port Alice is like many single-industry towns, we’re not alone,” said Mohler. “Small towns need to recover from the economic roll-er coaster that is so prev-alent in resource-based towns, re-invent them-

selves, and diversify, for a more stable economy and a better quality of life for residents.”

The workshop is backed by local spon-sors and participants including Vancouver Island North Tourism, Community Futures, Royal LePage, The Assistant Business &

Marketing Services, Inlet Haven B&B, First Choice B&B, North Island Song, North Island Images/Darrell McIntosh, Dan Nordin Artist Gallery, and Seaside Studio and Gallery. Hundreds of dollars in door prizes have been donated for attendees, volunteers,

presenters, and for early registrants. The work-shop runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 30, at the Port Alice Community Centre, 951 Marine Drive, Port Alice. To register or for more information, email Susan at [email protected] or call 250-209-2499.

SubmittedCaitlin Hartnett will

lead NIC’s Mount Waddington regional campus, as the new campus community coordinator in Port Hardy this year.

“I am thrilled to wel-come Caitlin to this position,” said Tony Bellavia, NIC’s assis-tant vice president of access and regions.

“Caitlin has strong ties to the region. She knows the people, understands the value of community and is committed to work-ing collaboratively for educational success. I’m confident she will continue to be a passionate voice for North Island students and education.”

Hartnett is respon-sible for providing leadership at the cam-pus and connecting with the community to develop short and long-term education and training in the region.

“I’m truly excited to take on this role, she said. “I feel very fortu-nate to call the Mount Waddington region home. In my six years here, the region and its residents have shown enormous generosity of spirit and it is my intention to fulfill this role with an attentive and respectful ear. Mount Waddington is an incredible place, rich in both people and environment - one that I feel honoured to serve.”

Hartnett is the campus liaison, con-necting the Mount Waddington region to NIC campuses in Campbell River, the Comox Valley and Port Alberni.

Her leadership skills are well recog-nized at NIC. Since joining the college in 2009, Hartnett has taught English, served on NIC’s Board of Governors, chaired the Adult Basic Education Department and NIC’s Education Council and taken a leadership role in the strategic planning process for the Mount Waddington regional campus.

“I’m looking for-ward to developing relationships with people and organiza-tions in my commu-nity,” she said.

“In particular, I am interested in how we build on the success we have had with First Nations pro-gramming, such as

the Kwak’wala course and the Indigenous Focused Education Assistant/Community Support Worker pro-gram this January.”

Hartnett added she would like to meet with businesses, industry and munici-palities to learn about their education needs.

“I’m eager to recon-nect with the school district to support high school students’ transition to college and find ways for them to earn college credit before they graduate high school,” she said.

Hartnett also helped establish community cultural workshops at the Sacred Wolf Friendship Centre this fall, explored food security issues in a suc-cessful International and Indigenous Foods Project last year, and has coordinated NIC’s Write Here Readers Series for the past three years.

Berwick BroadcastWhat are some of the common myths about Retirement Living?

“I’m afraid I will lose my independence!”

In fact, the opposite is really true. You have choices to do what you want, when you want. You decide which suite you will call home. You go to meals when and where you wish and you can join in the activities that appeal to you. The choices are up to you.

“I think if I move into a retirement community, I wont’ be able to do any of the hobbies and activities I enjoy!”

In reality, a multitude of staff are on duty to look after residents needs – cooking, cleaning, driving and maintenance jobs are all taken care of. This leaves you with more time to do the things you want and love to do (gardening, crafts, games, lawn bowling….).

“I don’t want to be alone in this new place!”

As we age, our lives change – often in unexpected ways. You don’t have to be alone in facing these changes. It can be very comforting to know that almost all residents living in senior living communities have faced the same fears and concerns you have. Senior living communities are an affordable option where you can enhance quality of life which will empower you to live your life the way you choose to.

Open house street closureBy Kathy O’Reilly-TaylorEditorThe District of Port Hardy will

be closing Hastings Street to allow for a formal opening of the New Beginnings House from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 21.

The official opening will take place at 11:30 a.m. with buffet lunch to fol-low at the Port Hardy Civic Centre.

New Beginnings House includes a six-bed crisis stabilization unit for clients with substance abuse issues, and the five new withdrawal manage-ment beds.

The house is operated and funded by the North Island Crisis & Counselling Centre Society (NICCCS). Clients are visited daily by a nurse, and the house

is staffed with trained professionals.“The crisis stabilization has been

running for 12 years,” said Sandy Tamburini, who manages the New Beginnings House and is the admin-istrator for NICCCS. The facility was renovated last year to accommodate the detox beds.

“The detox is new,” said Tamburini, and had its first client in November of 2015.

The North Island Crisis & Counselling Centre Society is a not-for-profit, charitable organization that offers services to all age groups in the Regional District of Mount Waddington. It was first established in 1981 as the Port Hardy Crisis Intervention Society.

By Tyson WhitneyReporterA request to have the rental fees

waved for a Business Development Workshop, has been approved by the Port Alice Village council.

The issue was dealt with at the Jan. 13 regular meeting of council.

Mayor Jan Allen said the infor-mation requested has not been received yet, “so I can’t recom-mend the use of the centre. I will

leave the decision up to the coun-cil.”

Councillor Dave Stewart moved to grant the usage of the conference room at no charge. The motion was carried. The conference, spearheaded by Port Alice resident Susan Mohler, will be held at the Port Alice Community Centre on Jan. 30, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The event is open to the public and free of charge.

By Kathy O’Reilly-TaylorEditorA dynamic performance, and a

Spanish lesson, was on the menu at the Port Hardy Civic Centre Jan. 16 as Locarno took to the stage.

Locarno is a Latin music project from Juno award-winning musician Tom Landa.

Landa started Locarno to dive deeper into his Mexican and Latin music roots, singing (almost) entire-ly in Spanish.

This is the first time Landa has visited Port Hardy, telling the large audience he had no idea how far it was from Vancouver.

Locarno’s focus, said Landa, is the folkloric side of Latin music, rather than the more mainstream Salsa.

Outstanding percussion (Robin Layne), guitar (Landa) and violin (Kalissa Hernandez) playing, along with trombone and trumpet (both remarkable pick-up musicians, one a first-timer with the group, for the Port Hardy event) delighted the

audience.Playing selections from their new

album ‘Luz y Sombra’ the band delivered a high-energy show that brought the audience to their feet in a standing ovation.

The group responded with an inti-mate acoustic performance down on the floor amongst the crowd, retak-ing the stage for the grand finale of what Landa called Mexico’s “most famous” song - Ritchie Valens’ La Bamba.

The next concert on the agenda for the North Island Concert Society is Dockside Drive which will take place on Saturday, Feb. 13 at the Port Hardy Civic Centre. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and dinner starts at 6 p.m.

Tickets for the event are available at Cafe Guido, Port Hardy Museum, Port McNeill Flora Borealis and from Gail Neely in Port Alice at: 250-284-3927.

Ticket information is also avail-able from Kathleen Davidson at: 250-949-7676.

Locarno’s Tom Landa and Kalissa Hernandez talk to each other through their instruments at the Port Hardy Civic Centre Jan. 16.

Locarno shares Latin flavour in Port Hardy

Entertainers and participants in Alert Bay’s Seafest and Music Fest can look forward to enjoying a new covered amphitheatre for the popular annual week-end of community celebrations.

Seafest and Music Fest are part of a successful weekend festival of live performances and commu-nity activities that bring a large number of visitors to Cormorant Island each year. The existing platform stage that hosts the event does not offer protec-tion from the coastal rainy weather. Current infra-structure lacks technical requirements needed by performers and limits shows the festival can attract.

“Creating a modern performance amphithe-atre, with better weather protection, will provide a much-needed venue for community cultural events and build upon the other cultural attractions on Cormorant Island,” said ICET Chair Phil Kent. “We are pleased to see that the project will benefit both the ‘Namgis First Nation and the Village of Alert Bay who have been working together to plan and implement enhancements to the local economy.”

The new performance venue builds upon the joint ‘Namgis First Nation and Village of Alert Bay ‘Tides of Change’ economic development strategy adopted by the community in March 2015 and is partly funded by the Island Coastal Economic Trust.

“Tourists seek out authentic, cultural experiences, and this new facility provides a modern, venue that will attract higher caliber performers,” said Alert Bay Seafest Society President Kim Mercer. “If we want to grow our tourism economy, and keep visi-tors in our community longer, we need to continue to invest in projects like this one.”

Along with Seafest and Music Fest, the amphithe-atre will host ‘Namgis First Nation cultural events, night theatre, music performances, and will comple-ment other local attractions on Cormorant Island such as the U’mista Cultural Centre, ‘Namgis First Nation Bighouse, and Alert Bay’s unique coastal fishing community.

The new amphitheatre will feature a 25 ft. wide by 25 ft. deep stage; peaked and shingled roof designed to maximize acoustics; full electrical wiring to accommodate a variety of show requirements; the-atre style lighting; Plumbing to support future plans for an adjacent washroom and greenroom.

The Island Coastal Economic Trust is contribut-ing $38,900 to the $77,800 project, with $20,000 coming from local government funds and $5,000 in applicant equity.

The project will begin April 1, 2016 and is esti-mated to be completed by fall of 2016.

On Jan. 26, the Family Literacy Society of Mount Waddington will host an Art Journaling Workshop to raise awareness of the impor-

tance of literacy and engaging in play-based literacy activities as a family.

The event celebrates Family Literacy Week

(Jan. 24-31), an annual campaign that hon-ours family literacy in BC. Family Literacy Week builds on ABC Life Literacy Canada’s Family Literacy Day, a national awareness ini-tiative created in 1999 and celebrated annually across Canada on Jan. 27.

Literacy is impor-tant for all British Columbians - including children and families. Families who engage in play-based literacy activities when children are young see positive effects on both the chil-dren and parents/care-givers. Simple activities offer rich opportuni-ties for interaction and learning. These activi-ties help create healthy relationships and help prepare children to enter the world.

In Port McNeill, the Art Journaling Workshop family liter-acy event will be held at the Old School, Room #4, 375 Shelley Cres.

from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Art Journaling is a fun and creative process in which participants combine words and art to express themselves. Parents and their chil-dren ages 11 and up are invited to come and par-ticipate together in this workshop. All the sup-plies are provided and there is no cost to join.

In addition, Decoda Literacy Solutions is celebrating family lit-eracy with a province-wide online photo con-test to encourage people to share their family lit-eracy activities. Decoda has also developed free ‘Let’s Play Together!’ activity sheets for fami-lies and programs that work with young chil-dren.

To learn more about family literacy, get infor-mation on the photo Contest, or to download ‘Let’s Play Together!’ activity sheets, go to decoda.ca.


By Kathy O’Reilly-TaylorEditorA newcomer to the

North Island is on a mission to raise the pro-file of arts in the area.

Susan Mohler, a stained glass artist, moved to Port Alice in August of 2014 and has established Seaside Studio and Gallery over-looking the Neroutsos Inlet.

“The first year we spent working on the house, I literally crawled out from under a rock in August of this year,” Mohler laughed.

Mohler has been designing and creat-ing original large-panel stained glass pieces “since the last centu-

ry”. She also conducts workshops for begin-ners in her studio.

Since arriving in town, Mohler has been busy. “I have just start-ed to organize, within the last two months, the Port Alice Art Association (PAAA), a newly-formed, “casual and loosely-organized artists’ group,” said Mohler, complete with a growing website (www.portaliceart.com) featuring sample works and links to the artists’ own websites, facebook pages, etc. The site will also include artist biog-raphies and publica-tions. The objective of the group is to promote the artists, future art events, workshops and

lessons, etc. Mohler decided to

create the association “because I am an artist and it’s difficult to find information about art-ists. This is a first intro-duction to artists in the Port Alice community.”

The PAAA will also connect the local com-munity arts groups to the more formal North Vancouver Island Artists Society (NVIAS) which is an older arts society officially organized in 2004 by Gordon Henschel.

NVIAS lapsed in 2009 and is now being restored to active status. A website will be cre-ated for this initiative as well. Mohler believes the North Island needs to be represented offi-cially at that level “so we’re restoring the soci-ety to full standing with BC Registries. We’re inviting the various communities to come together as groups and individual artists to renew their membership with NVIAS.

“We need to shine a light on that and say we are here,” she said.

On the strength of that information, Mohler would like to create an event that promotes the North Island arts scene.

“We have got artists holed up around here,” she said. For more information please con-tact Susan Mohler at 250-209-2499.

By Tyson WhitneyReporterOn Sunday, Jan. 17, the North Island Midget

Eagles won the Division 3 banner for league play, and they did it in style, shutting out the Port Alberni Bulldogs 12-0 at the Don Cruickshank Memorial Arena in Port Hardy.

“This is a great group of kids, who really clicked well,” said Leighann Ruel, the team’s manager, adding that they “really encourage and support each other and play because they love hockey.”

The Eagles came out flying in the 1st period, dominating the play as soon as the puck was dropped. Just 14:37 into the game, the Eagles’ Alex Scott beat the Bulldogs’ goalie with a nice wrist shot, and then at 9:31 Brandon Purdey smashed the puck from the point, off the crossbar, and into the net to make it 2-0 for the Eagles.

The 2nd period was no different. The Eagles’ Cameron Grant jammed the puck into the net at 18:19, Thomas Symons deked around the defence and slid the puck through the goalie’s five hole at 10:50, David Charlie stole the puck in the Bulldog’s zone and knocked it past their goalie at 6:54, and Scott scored again off a nice two-on-one play at 1:10, making it 6-0 for the Eagles going into the 3rd period.

The Eagles domination continued throughout the 3rd period. Kenton Browne scored twice, once at 13:49 and again at 11:02 with a nice deke, Josh Walkus scored at 9:12 with a deke of his own, Scott scored his fourth goal of the game at 8:46, and Grant scored his second of the game with 1:03 left on the clock to put the nail in the

coffin. This is the first time the midget team has finished in first place in years, said Ruel, who then praised the team’s coaches “Aaron (Hinton) and Toby (Roberts), who give up their time to be there for our kids. There is a mutual respect that

really shows on, and off, the ice.”The Eagles finished off the Vancouver Island

Midget Division Three season with an excellent 8-3-1 record, with 64 goals for and only 23 goals against.

North Island Midget Eagle Kenton Browne takes a shot on the Port Alberni Bulldogs’ goalie in an important game on Sunday, Jan. 17, at the Don Cruickshank Memorial Arena in Port Hardy. The Eagles shut out the Bulldogs 12-0 and brought home the banner as the top Division Three team in league play this season.

Warriors beat Bulls in Walkus MemorialBy Tyson WhitneyReporterLocal Tri-Port men’s

hockey league rivals, the Warriors and the Bulls, went head-to-head Jan. 15 in the annual Gilbert Walkus Memorial hockey game.

This was the sixth year in a row that the memorial game, which is in honour of Walkus who died in an apartment fire on New Year’s Day in 2010, had been held, and there was a packed crowd at the Don Cruickshank Memorial Arena in Port Hardy.

Before the puck dropped, Brian Texmo, a player on the Warriors team, got on the microphone and thanked everyone for coming out to the cel-ebration of Walkus’ life, and then told a couple of great stories

about Walkus who, in his final full season of play with the Warriors, led the North Island Commercial League in scoring. After a moment of silence, the hockey game com-menced.

The 1st period kicked off at a quick pace, with both teams pass-ing the puck up and down the boards, but it was the Bulls who got onto the score-board first at 15:24 with a goal from Brett Walker.

The Warriors, down five to three thanks to two penalties, got the puck out of their zone, and Mitch Walker snapped in a wrist shot at 11:54. Incredulously, the Warriors, still down two players, somehow got the puck again and rushed down the ice on a two-on-one break-

away. The Warriors’ Jeff Badger got the pass from Texmo and slid the puck around the Bulls’ goalie Colin Hunko to take the lead 2-1. The Bulls’ Darryl Coon Jr. netted a wrist shot with 4:43 left, and the 1st period ended with the score tied 2-2.

In the 2nd and final period, the Warriors battled hard and looked to pull away from the Bulls.

The Warrior’s Shelby Cockell roofed the puck top shelf over the Bulls’ goalie at 6:32 to make it 3-2. Cockell added a sec-ond goal almost two minutes later, giving the Warriors a com-fortable 4-2 lead.

The Bulls, however, didn’t lay down and quit.

With 3:36 left in the period, Jason “Peppy” Hodson banged in a

goal at the side of the net to make it 4-3. The Bulls kept pres-suring offensively for the rest of the period, but couldn’t find the

tying goal. The time clock ran out and the Warriors held on to win 4-3, in what turned out to be an exciting game that honoured

the life of Walkus. Again this year,

Braden (13), Gilbert and Crystal’s oldest son, warmed up with their dad’s former team.

Atom Eagles lost a close one to the Powell River Kings Sunday, Jan. 17, at the Don Cruickshank Arena in Port Hardy. The hockey game, which kicked off at 9:30 a.m., was a defensive stalemate for the entire 1st period, as neither team was able to get the puck past the other’s goalie.

In the 2nd period, the action started to heat up. The Kings scored first with a wrist shot at 13:43, and the Eagles’ William Grant answered back at 12:57 with a goal of his own as he skated around almost the entire King’s team and slid the puck

past their goalie. Powell River then scored at 9:04 to go up 2-1, scored again at 6:49, and then scored once more at 3:45 to make it 4-1. The Eagles dug

down deep and started to turn up the pressure offensively. Tye Morash netted a wrist shot top shelf at 2:30, and Lucca Stewart snapped in a wrist shot of his own

through traffic at 1:58 to bring the Eagles within one goal of tying it up.

The third period start-ed off with two goals by the Kings to give them a 6-3 lead, but the Eagles’ Morash came up clutch with time run-ning out, scoring back to back point shot goals to make it 6-5 with 4.6 seconds left in the 3rd and final period. The Eagles pulled goalie Bryce Walkus for the extra attacker, but ulti-mately couldn’t capi-talize on the face off as time ran out. After the game, Coach Doug Grant said the Eagles have played the Kings “eight times this year, and we’re 3-3-2 against them.” Grant said the boys “worked really hard, and they fell a little bit short today. If they’d had a bounce go one way or the other it could’ve gone our way.”

The Port McNeill Atom house team (black jerseys) carries the puck out of their zone against Comox #5 Saturday, Jan. 16, at the Chilton Regional Arena in Port McNeill. Six teams competed in the weekend tournament, which featured a raffle table, 50/50s, a puck toss, concession, and a snack table free for the players. Trophies were awarded for first and second place, keeper prizes were given out for all the athletes, and a player of the game medal was awarded for each game. Results to follow in next week’s Gazette.

By Kathy O’Reilly-TaylorEditorSpecial Olympics athletes are start-

ing up their winter/spring sessions in the Regional District of Mount Waddington.

The Special Olympics BC - Mount Waddington Local debuted in the spring of 2014.

“In our bowling program we have five athletes, and in our swim pro-gram we have four athletes,” said local Coordinator Melinda Dennison.

“This year is a qualifying year, so we have the possibility of sending our

athletes to qualifiers in Comox (swim-ming), and Port Alberni (bowling) this spring for the 2016 BC Special Olympic Games,” Dennison said.

Qualified athletes from around the province will compete in Abbotsford for the chance to go on to the national Special Olympics event.

The local program has now expanded its athletic categories.

“New to us this year is our power-lifting program, which operates out of Port McNeill, that has two athletes,” Dennison said.

Chris Stewart and Rob Engel are the

volunteer coaches of this program.“We are always looking for athletes

as well as volunteers,” she said, adding that athletes may join any time.

“If they would like to come and check out our swim program it runs on Fridays from 4:45 to 5:45 p.m. Bowling runs on Thursdays (starting Jan. 28) from 3:45 p.m. to 5:15 p.m.

Dennison has been coordinator for about one year.

“I wanted to make a difference in our community,” she said of why she took on the position.

“There are many persons with intel-

lectual disabilities and we wanted to make sure we reached everybody with the opportunity to participate in sports,” she said.

As for why people should volunteer, “I think the biggest thing is to change lives and have fun.”

Volunteering is an opportunity for new friendships and the “joy of work-ing with the athletes, the list goes on and on.”

For more information on the Special Olympics BC - Mount Waddington Local please call Melinda Dennison at 250-949-0119.

By Kathy O’Reilly-TaylorEditorMount Cain received 15 centimetres of new snow

last week and five more on the weekend.As of Jan. 18, the hill had a 220-centimetre base.The last time snow conditions were this good

was four years ago, says Mount Cain Alpine Park Society President Neil Borecky.

The abundance of snow means that Mount Cain is back hosting races and events this year.

The Cain Cup will take place this Saturday (Jan. 23).

This is Mount Cain’s signature race which is open to all participants, Borecky said.

Registration starts at 8:30 a.m. in the main lodge with races involving a timed slalom course starting roughly at 9:30 or 10 a.m. There will be winners for various age categories and a King and Queen of the Mountain is named for those that have the fast-est times through the slalom course, Borecky said. There is a $5 entry fee.

The next event scheduled at the hill is on the Family Day weekend Feb. 6 to 8 when the fourth annual Vancouver Island Backcountry Festival will be held. The event will include a raffle with gear donated by sponsors to raise money for the Vancouver Island Avalanche Centre.

There will also be an epic party with live DJs, guided back-country laps by donation, and a beer gardens in the afternoon with beer donated by the Cumberland Brewing Company.

Mount Cain is also offering Family Day tickets at half price.

Next on the agenda is Snowboard Fest, also known as ‘The Blueberry Jam”, which takes place on the Saturday of Valentine’s weekend for all you lonely snowboarding hearts out there, Borecky said.

“Snowboard Fest features a boardercross race-

course designed by our own Nahum Gazell,” he said.

On Feb. 20-21st, Telefest will be held. Telefest is Vancouver Island’s only Telemark festival and fea-tures a very creative telemark ski race that includes jumps, a 360 loop, uphill component, gates, etc.). For more info, visit www.mountcain.com.


Cain Cup this weekend

After a one-year lapse, skiers and snowboard-ers are enjoying great snow at Mount Cain.

Eagles tied the visiting Nanaimo Clippers Saturday, Jan. 9, at the Don Cruickshank Memorial Arena in Port Hardy.

In what turned out to be a fast-paced, high-scoring battle between the two teams, it was the Clippers who got on the board first, scoring two goals early in the 1st period.

The Eagles answered back at 7:56 with a goal from Rhys Dutcyvich, and then Clayton Bono added a power play goal with 6:14 left on the clock to bring the game to a 2-2 tie.

The Clippers scored again with 5:16 left, only for Bono to score for the Eagles a minute later to tie the game 3-3. The Eagles then pulled ahead 4-3 thanks to a rebound goal from Dutcyvich with 2:43 left in the 1st period. The Clippers scored at 1:08 to tie the game 4-4 before going into the 2nd period.

The Clippers struck first in the 2nd period, adding another goal at 17:56 to pull ahead 5-4. The Eagles then took an ill-timed pen-

alty, and the Clippers capitalized with a power play goal to go up 6-4. The Eagles Captain Evan Fox returned the favour, scoring a nice goal at 2:22 to pull within one before the end of the 2nd period.

At 18:38 into the 3rd period, Fox scored again, this time a breakaway goal to tie the game 6-6. The Clippers answered at 11:17 to once again take the lead, but the Eagles flat out refused to break. Mathew Saunders cut through the Clippers’ defence and netted a beautiful breakaway goal to tie the game 7-7. Saunders then added a rebound goal and the Eagles took the lead 8-7. With only 1:40 left on the clock, the Clippers scored to tie it up 8-8 and that’s the way the action-packed, back-and-forth hockey game ended. The Eagles Coach, Greg Fox, said after the game that he thought the team “played well for intervals,” but that “when our team made mistakes Nanaimo capitalized on them.”

Fox also said that when the Eagles “played as a team, they controlled the play, moved to open ice and gave the puck car-rier options.”

Capitals Senior AA team travelled Whitehorse, Yukon, to take on the Nuway Crushing Whitehorse Huskies on Jan. 8 and 9. In the first game, in front of hundreds of spectators at the Takhini Arena, the Capitals found themselves down 4-3 after the 1st period, with goals coming from Mitch Walker, Shelby Cockell, and John Hollett.

They managed to tie the game up 4-4 in the 2nd period, thanks to another goal

from Cockell, but the Huskies answered back in the 3rd period with five goals of their own. The Capitals added two more goals from Shawn McNulty before the game ended, but it wasn’t enough as they fell to the Whitehorse Huskies 9-6.

In the rematch on Saturday, Jan. 9, with a 700-plus crowd watch-ing from the stands, the Capitals fell behind early.

The Huskies scored goals in the 1st and 2nd period to take a 3-0 lead going into the 3rd period. The Huskies added two more goals

in the 3rd, and the Capitals finally got on the board at 4:52 with their lone goal from Eric Kennelly. The game ended 5-1 for the Huskies.

By Kathy O’Reilly-TaylorEditorThe District of Port Hardy has thrown financial

support behind the new U16 girls rep volleyball team.

At their regular meeting Jan. 12 council approved donating $400 to the ‘Port Hardy Reigns’.

They also approved asking School District #85 to allow the Reigns to use the gym at Port Hardy Secondary School as part a reciprocal agreement; and to extend the agreement by one month to allow the team access for the whole season.

Coach Justin Reusch attended the Dec. 8 coun-cil meeting to ask for the district’s help. The girls’ season was up in December and they had expressed an interest in continuing to play and compete in games and tournaments down island.

Because the volleyball club is considered a private group, the school district said it needed to pay to use the gym, which would cost about $800, which was too much for the fledgling club, which had no funds, to handle.

Council heard the team has been allowed to continue practising and that the principal of the high school is totally on board with letting them practise in the gym.

“We haven’t had an official response” from the school district yet, said Corporate Services Director Heather Nelson-Smith.

Secondary School and the Rotary Club of Port McNeill are looking for help designing a logo for a fund-raising gala being held this spring for the new climbing wall.

The cost to have the wall profession-ally installed is about $30,000 for the first stage, with plans to add to it as funds allow.

To date, the students have raised approxi-mately $800 and between the school, the school district, and private business anoth-er $11,000 has been raised.

The Rotary Club of Port McNeill has decid-ed to help make the wall a reality by hosting the Gala fund-raiser.

The logo should use one to four colours and be easily replicable

when viewed at 1.5 x 2 inches (a minimum of 100dpi) and may be either square or circular in any file format.

The logo should encompass a climbing wall and the surround-ing North Island area (for example water, mountains, or forest).

The artist who sub-mits the logo that is selected will win $50, and will be fully credit-ed throughout the event which is projected to be

attended by over 180 people.

The winner will also have the fame and resume credit for designing a logo for the event which will be shown on all promo-tional material such as newspaper ads, media and event swag.

Please submit logos to Megan Hanacek: [email protected]

The deadline is Feb. 2, 2016 at noon.
