white-sided dolphin appeared to have successfully recovered from a suspected orca encounter this week after a coordinated effort between

volunteers, DFO officers, Marine Mammal Rescue and Vancouver Aquarium staff to assist the injured mammal.

The animal was discovered early Monday morning by guests

at Michelle Smith-Andrews’ An Ocean Storm bed and breakfast, with injuries from a suspected tran-sient — or Bigg’s — killer whale, encounter.

Lt. Governor opens literacy centreGazette staffFORT RUPERT—

Kwakiutl members were joined by Rotary digni-taries and the Lieutenant Governor of B.C., the

Hon. Judith Guichon, last week in opening the new library and literacy centre in Tsakis.

Called Nuyum mat’si — a place to tell stories or

legends — the new centre boasts nearly 3,500 books available for loan, with plans to add computer sta-tions in the near future.

The project was initiated

by the previous Lieutenant Governor, Steven Point, in May 2012, inspired by the success of similar projects abroad.

Gazette staffPORT McNEILL—

The problem cou-gar involved in sev-eral recent encoun-ters in the town has been destroyed, the Conservation Officer Service announced this week.

The 140-pound cat had been seen stalk-ing a woman along the Rotary Trail last week, in addition to the attack on a dog reported in last week’s Gazette and numerous sightings in the Beach

Drive/ Mine Road area.

Conservation Officer Bryce Casavant said that the cougar had proved elusive and dif-ficult to track in pre-vious reports, but he got the chance to work with a fresh trail after the cougar was spot-ted outside a house, watching children through a basement window.

Even still, it took the officer and hound team a difficult three hours to pin down the

cougar, described by Casavant as “a very smart cat.”

Based on photo-graphs taken by resi-dents in other encoun-ters, the officer said he was very confident in identifying the cougar as the problem cat.

In the interest of pub-lic safety, the decision was made to remove the cougar.

Despite appearing outwardly healthy, the cat had been involved in a series of stalk-ing incidents in recent

weeks.“Like any animal,

there may be problems you don’t see; men-tal problems or inter-nal problems,” said Casavant. “When we see unnatural behav-iour —  like pacing kids, that’s not natural behaviour — we tend to err on the side of caution.”

The officer said that this case shows the value of quick notifi-cation. “This cat was very smart, very cun-ning,” he said. “Those calls where we had a half hour, hour, two-hour delay — we needed to be there right away… the faster you call, the faster we can get there.”

Casavant said that he was aware of a sec-ond, smaller cat that had been seen in the Nimpkish Heights area. Cougar encoun-

ters should be report-ed to the toll-free Report all Poachers and Polluters (RAPP) hotline at 1-877-952-RAPP (7277).

the sand.”Smith-Andrews con-

tacted Marine Detective Jackie Hildering and the DFO, setting off a chain of calls as marine mam-mal experts coordinated with those on the scene to gather information, assess the dolphin’s condition and plan a response.

“He was exhausted, it looked like,” recalled Smith-Andrews, “he defi-nitely didn’t want to go anywhere.”

In the end, little actu-

al response was needed as the dolphin gradual-ly regained its strength and began to circle the shallows before moving out to deeper water, to the relief of those on the scene.

“It was a moment of pure joy,” said Smith-Andrews.

Worryingly for those monitoring from the shore, the dolphin soon returned to shallower water; once stranded, dolphins are prone to re-strand themselves.

Vancouver Aquarium staff made the decision at that point to fly up, anticipating a rescue may be needed. Once again though, the dol-phin moved back off into deeper waters under its own power and was last spotted in deep water at the mouth of the bay.

Aquarium staff opted to return to Vancouver.

“It was very special,” said Smith-Andrews. “I was very fortunate to be able to help.”

She commended the

responders for their quick action and exper-tise. “It was definitely the right thing to make those calls,” she said.

Just three days earlier, an orca was freed from entanglement in a fish-ing net near Port Hardy in an incident witnessed not only by a Mackay Whale Watching tour but by Dr. Lance Barrett-Lennard, conducting research in the area for the University of British Columbia’s Department of Zoology.

“This entanglement ended well, but there are too many cases where well-intentioned people put themselves and the whale in further danger, and that incidents do not get reported so that the whale may be rescued,” Hildering wrote.

In the event of a strand-ed or injured marine mammal, the public are urged not to approach, but to call number the Marine Mammal Incident Reporting hotline at 1-800-465-4336.

from page 1hub for existing pro-grams offered within the village, such as the Bachelor of Education program in partner-ship with UVic, as a language lab for Kwakwala students, and as a venue for the homework club.

“We’re hoping to offer more partnership programs so students can learn and remain in the community,” said Hunt.

And, of course, as the name suggests, as a venue for storytell-ing.

Currently the library offers close to 3,500 titles across a spec-trum of genres, includ-ing around 200 First Nations titles, a num-ber Hunt would like to see grow.

A group of com-munity volunteers

worked with the Library Response Team to catalogue and order the titles in just three days ahead of the opening ceremony.

Computers will soon be added to the cen-tre offering job search and resume writing opportunities for com-munity members.

The library was built as an initiative under the Lieutenant Governor’s literacy program: The Write to Read Project, a partnership between the Government House Foundation and Rotary to assist in building co-operative relationships between urban groups and First Nations communities.

“As you look around, you can see this is so much more than just a library,” said the Lieutenant Governor.

“This new facility is a place to learn, a place to discover and explore the past and to reach out into the vir-tual world and com-municate ideas for the future. This is a place for community.”

Sponsors of the Fort Rupert library include the Government House Foundation, Britco, Success By 6 and Rotary Clubs of Burnaby Metrotown, Port McNeill and Port Hardy.

Other libraries under the Write to Read Project have opened in Toosey First Nation, Stone First Nation, Halalt First Nation, Old Masset, Bella Bella, Rivers Inlet and Malahat.

An additional library is scheduled to be opened in Ditidaht in September.

Library serves as hub

The month-long Agricultural Land Commission consultation closed Aug. 22, and the B.C. government is compiling the feedback received from a province-wide tour and invi-tation to comment.

I can’t tell you much about the official input. The consultation sessions were by invitation only, with no media allowed, and the sub-missions via website are also not public.

I reached Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick as he was conducting his own meetings with farmers. He’s not saying much either, except that a summary of the findings should be made public in September as the government considers new regulations.

The aim is to consider relaxing rules around sec-ondary farmland uses in the Interior, Kootenay and North regions, as well as food processing and retail sales of food and beverages on farmland. Also under

consideration is allowing breweries and distilleries, and relaxing rules to permit more off-farm products to be sold from farms.

Letnick defended the 30-day summer consulta-tion as adequate. “I’m not conducting a plebiscite,” Letnick said. “What I’m try-ing to do is come up with the best balance of recom-mendations to make to gov-ernment that can hold their own based on the idea and the potential positive and negative consequences.”

NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham was more forthcoming.

The government is proposing to bypass the Agricultural Land Commission for several kinds of decisions, includ-ing subdivision for family use or into properties of 160 acres or more.

“I think the general idea was that people trust the ALC to make that decision, and it should still go through the commission,” Popham said. “Actually the commis-sion has been making those decisions anyway, and I think they’ve been quite fair when somebody applies.”

She said farmers also aren’t sold on the notion of easing the rules for second-ary businesses. 

“You will already find sit-uations where there’s, let’s say a welding shop or some-thing like that attached to somebody’s residence who lives on ALR land,” Popham said. “That sort of stuff has been allowed, but it’s

always had to go through the ALC or some sort of process that’s been in place. This leaves that process out, and so I think that’s the problem people are having.”

She noted that non-farm activities have a way of growing until they become the main business.

Popham also clarified the situation with the leased craft gin distillery on her own Vancouver Island farm. It started as a winery, and the conversion needed only local government approv-al because the production facility was already con-sidered and taxed as light industrial.

Victoria Gin has been a model for the government’s push to allow distilleries, breweries or meaderies on farmland. Given the B.C. Liberals’ love of liberalized liquor, I expect that change to go through.

COMMENTARY

A pair of incidents involving marine mammals in contact with humans enjoyed happy endings in the last week. But while the tales make for enter-taining photos and stories on social media, those shared posts can induce winces from marine biolo-gists and Fisheries and Oceans Canada staff.

In the first incident, an 11-year-old female orca was entangled in a fisherman’s net near Port McNeill. In a drama documented by a Mackay Whale Watching crew and tour group, the whale submerged several times along with its fam-ily members, somehow shedding part of the net before the fisherman was able to reel in the killer whale and finish cutting the net away.

Then, on Monday morning, a young Pacific white-sided dolphin, reportedly trying to escape one or more transient whales near Port Hardy, ran aground at Storey’s Beach before residents were able to push it back out to sea.

Yes, two happy endings (though the ultimate fate of the dolphin remains in question after it tried to return to the beach later Monday evening), but also cause to remind the public to exercise restraint in dealing with marine wildlife.

Noted whale researcher Jackie Hildering of the Marine Education and Research Society said incidents like the ones noted above require the response of DFO and professional biologists equipped to deal with detangling nets and other emergencies.

Yes, sometimes the average citizen can play a role in a favourable outcome, but before attempt-ing to do so he or she is urged to call the Marine Mammal Incident Reporting Hotline at 1-800-465-4336.

Particularly critical is not to view this week’s interactions — including well-meaning residents’ hands-on treatment of the beached dolphin — as standard behaviour toward any wild animal, marine or otherwise.

We understand that, in times of emergency, things happen fast and reaction can overtake reflective deliberation. But it pays to arm yourself with knowledge when out on our waters or in our forests.

Numbers like the MMIR hotline above can be as valuable a tool as the best of intentions in helping to preserve and protect our wildlife.

Port Hardy RCMP Tour de Rock rider Ty-son Richard has raised more than $10,000 toward pediatric cancer victims and research.

Port McNeill’s newest harbour addition may have proved too popu-lar, and changes to the dock’s use will need to be addressed.

Rumble gets green light

We were at the drag racing event this week-end for the second time in a couple of years, and can’t wait to come back.

We have never been to a racing event where we experienced such wonderful and helpful people — from racing officials, volunteers to a great pub meal and service. We had a problem with our tow vehicle when leaving and people came to help out; even the cab driver was a treat.

Thank you, Port McNeill. We’ll be back with others next year.

Mount Polley mine breach a true disasterDear editor,Tom Fletcher, legisla-

tive reporter and mouth-piece for the Black Press, does his best to persuade us the Mount Polley mine breach of millions of tons of toxic mine tailings into once beautiful Quesnel Lake and erstwhile lovely Klementine Creek does not represent the worst mining disaster in the history of B.C. He would have us believe this monstrous out-pouring of mining waste is

essentially waste rock and sand, citing only that tests confirmed “elevated iron and copper levels”. And he proceeds to mock indepen-dent researchers seeking the truth.

Yet all that MOE has done to date is one test with a wooden stick into the strange blue film show-ing up on Quesnel Lake, to then announce it is not oily, and does not “gas off,” and therefore is of organic (wood and crushed

leafage) origin — failing to allow that gas-off could have already occurred, and it did only this one feeble test, saying it was “too dangerous for MOE staff to enter the region”.

It is clear that govern-ment cover-up and denial of harm is alive and well across all spectrums of invasive corporate extrac-tion and production indus-tries. Today in Canada, truth is the villain to be removed, and until we fix

this, our viable future will continue to be destroyed.  

What Quesnel Lake and its suffering communities and the Fraser River and our wild salmon are really dealing with is horrific. According to the Canadian Environmental Protection Agency’s own file, the toxic wastes going into the Mount Polley mine tailings pond over just the last five years include:  472,000 kg of arsenic, 278,000 kg of lead, 2,250 tonnes of zinc,

7,070 tonnes of vanadium, 8,600 kg of cadmium, 653 tonnes of cobalt, 50,000 tonnes of phosphorous, 48.5 tonnes of antimony, 24,000 tonnes of manga-nese, 2,645 kg of mercury, 24,000 kg of selenium, 311 tonnes of nickel, and 39,000 tonnes of copper — extremely toxic to fish. The way the Province and Black Press are looking the other way confirms we have the most destructive and backward governance

in Canada of all time, and the sooner we vote out the perpetrators of this behaviour the better. In the meantime we must call on Premier Christy Clark to shape up or step down. Our self-renewing bless-ings of worth and beauty must be protected for the good of the world and our children.

Mary RussellPort Hardy

Dear editor, Much has been written

about the Mount Polley tail-ings pond breach in the past few weeks.

However, I think it is important for those who write about the breach to make sure they get the his-tory correct.

For example, in an August 5 McLean’s Magazine arti-cle titled “Warnings about BC tailings pond ‘ignored’” it was suggested that the community and local First Nations raised alarms about the stability of the dam but were ignored. Yet, in an October 13, 2011 arti-cle in the Williams Lake

Tribune titled, “Mine dis-charge application raises concern,” it was reported that Imperial Minerals had applied to safely discharge treated mine water from the tailings pond in November of 2009; treated water that would not include man-made chemicals, only ele-ments that occur naturally in the Quesnel Lake watershed.

The Tribune article goes on to note that Imperial Minerals held six public

meetings to demonstrate how safe the water discharge would be, but it was blocked by local First Nations and community members cit-ing “concerns.” If the origi-nal application to discharge treated water had been approved, as recommended by the engineers and sci-entists, the water level in the tailings pond would have been reduced and the breach may never have happened.

Moreover, it is very clear

now from water testing that the water released from the pond was at or close to safe human drinking standards.

These are important facts to keep in mind and they show how important it is to get the history correct.

I don’t think we can point a finger at any one party in this unfortunate incident, but hopefully we have all learned to let the scientists and engineers do their jobs and make the best possi-ble and most scientifically informed recommendations and decisions to safeguard us all.

J.R. RardonGazette editorPORT McNEILL—

With a harbour employ-ee having been struck by a moving forklift and user groups in con-flict due to overcrowd-ing at the Town’s new concrete loading dock, council agree future changes will need to be put in place to man-age peak season at the facility.

“We’re getting inun-dated with first-time problems,” acting har-bour manager Sherry Henderson said.

A varied assemblage of interested parties, including Henderson, attended Council’s reg-ular meeting of Aug. 18.

They were an unscheduled delegation invited by Coun. Chris Sharpe, council’s har-bour liaison, but their testimony, suggestions and complaints ended up comprising about 75 per cent of the entire meeting and dropped a litany of issues on

council’s plate.Chief among them is

that the 50-by-120-foot drive-on dock, installed last year to provide a commercial loading and unloading plat-form, has proved too small — and too popu-lar — for the peak of both the commercial fishing and recreational boating seasons.

“It sounds like we’re victims of our own success,” Mayor Gerry Furney noted drily.

Among the concerns was dangerous work-ing conditions on the dock due to the crowd-ing; fishing boats — sometimes lashed three across — failing to notify the harbour office of their arrival and then overstaying their time to perform welding or net repair; and the inability for recreational boaters to access the public boat launch at low tide due

to the moored boats blocking the narrow channel between the concrete dock and the adjacent fuel dock.

“The sport guys are complaining because they can’t get out until 10:30 (a.m.),” said Steve Jackman of Port McNeill Marina and Fuel Dock, which has already modified its operation to allow fuel-ling on the opposite side of its own dock, away from the conges-tion. “That space has got to be there.”

The meeting came two weeks after coun-cil had approved, on a trial basis, a request by Hub City Fisheries to use space on the dock to store totes and other equipment used in a test fishery for Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

Hub City owner Roger Paquette opened the presentation with prepared remarks high-lighting his 30 sea-sons of work in Port McNeill and the value of its harbour facili-

ties, which are in close proximity to the test fishery.

He closed his com-ments by saying, “We need to spread the word around. Port McNeill is a perfect spot. You can buy fuel, get your food; everything is here.”

But Henderson jumped in, noting the last thing the town needs under the cur-rent conditions is more marine traffic.

“We’ve been over-whelmed by 120 seine boats, and not one has called in to say they were coming,” she said. “One of my staff was hit by a forklift. It was just a bump and she wasn’t hurt, thank goodness. But there are so many totes down there you can’t see the fuel dock (from the harbour office). “We’d maintain more control if the gear was moved

each day.”Paquette expressed

alarm that one of his crew had struck an employee, and prom-ised the totes would be moved from the front of the dock.

Otherwise, the best anybody could do was make suggestions that might be implemented in future seasons.

Coun. Sharpe tossed out the idea of a sepa-rate dock, anchored

offshore, that could be used for net repair and other maintenance by the commercial fleet. Coun. Gaby Wickstrom said the needs at the harbour should be for-warded to planning consultant Bert Zethof, who is assembling the draft of a new commu-nity economic plan.

And both Furney and Coun. Shirley Ackland noted that dredging of the harbour is overdue and that funding should be sought to dredge to create more usable space.

Despite Henderson’s pleas for an enforceable bylaw or backup for her office when boat own-ers ignore her requests to move, no other action was taken other than an agreement that Paquette would speak to the fish-ing fleet about policing their own behaviour at the dock.

“Ten or 12 days from now the fleet will be gone,” he said. “It’s not gonna be a problem after that.”

HOT SPOTS

Gazette staffEffective at noon today,

campfires will once again be permitted throughout the Coastal Fire Centre’s juris-diction. But the ban remains in place for Category 2 fires, including backyard burn piles and burn barrels.

The Coastal Fire Centre will rescind its existing campfire prohibition due to cooler weather in the fore-cast, which will result in a decreased wildfire risk in the region. The follow-ing activities will now be allowed:

• Campfires, as defined by the wildfire regulation.

• Open fires in an outdoor

stove.The public is reminded that

campfires must not be larger than a half-metre high by a half-metre wide. Anyone who lights a campfire must have a hand tool (such as a shovel) or at least eight litres of water available to fully extinguish it. Never leave a campfire unattended and make sure that the ashes are completely cold to the touch before leaving the area for any length of time.

Small backyard burn-ing piles (Category 2 fires) remain prohibited within the Coastal Fire Centre, except in Haida Gwaii and the area known as the “fog zone”.

Category 2 fires include:• The burning of any mate-

rial in a pile larger than a half-metre high by a half-metre wide, up to two metres high by three metres wide;

• The burning of stubble or grass covering an area up to 0.2 hectares; and

• Fireworks, sky lanterns and burning barrels of any size and description.

Check with local govern-ments for any other restric-tions before lighting any fire.

To report a wildfire, unat-tended campfire or non-compliant open burning, call 1 800 663-5555 toll-free or *5555 on a cellphone.

Gazette staffPORT McNEILL—

The North Island will host hordes of Harleys this weekend as the annual Toy and Rod Run between Port McNeill and Port Hardy returns for its 2014 edition.

The ride, a benefit for B.C. Children’s Hospital, will be followed by the annual Pig Roast and Stomp at the Hyde Creek home of Darcy and Annie Leblanc.

The bikers, who will arrive from all points of

the Island and, in some cases, beyond, will gather Saturday at 11 a.m. at Port McNeill Community Hall before departing for the run to Port Hardy. There, they’ll line out their dozens of big cycles for display at noon on Market Street, in front of the Welcome to Port Hardy sign in Carrot Park.

From there, they will return to Port McNeill and a gathering at Gus’s Bar and Grill, where their donations of toys and

other items are tradition-ally piled high on the pool table.

Finally, it’s on to 704 Eagleridge Rd. in Hyde Creek for the Pig Roast and Stomp featuring the live music of the Jam Shack Araknids and the ever popular Biker Games. The dinner and music is open to the pub-lic; tickets are $30 and are available in advance at Port McNeill Flower Shoppe and at Timberland Sports. For more info, call 250-902-9527.

William May Halliday was born in Wellington County, Ontario in 1866. He reportedly moved to the Comox area with his family on July 1, 1873.

He worked in Victoria for the publisher R.T. Williams & Co. and is credited as the author of Williams’ British Columbia Directory 1891: Containing gen-eral information and directories of the various cities and settlements in the province.

In 1893 William and his brother Ernest Halliday settled a pre-emption and built a homestead in the estu-ary at Kingcome Inlet, the traditional territory of the Dzawada’enuxw First Nation.

William lived on the homestead until about 1897, when he moved to Alert Bay and took on a job as assistant prin-cipal at St. Michael’s Residential School.

Ernest and his family stayed on the Kingcome farm. Until recently, the progeny of the long-

horned cows reared by the Hallidays roamed wild on the tidal flats.

In 1906 William took on the job of Indian Agent for the Kwakewlth Agency, serving the North Island and adjacent Mainland Inlets. He served in this capacity for 26 years.

Halliday presided over the implementa-tion of the potlatch ban in the heart of its terri-tory, including the arrest of many participants, and the confiscation of a significant amount of ceremonial items and regalia.

Although he felt that traditional First Nations customs had some redeeming qualities, Halliday stated that the potlatch: “was a par-ticularly wasteful and destructive custom, and created ill-feeling, jeal-ousy, and in most cases great poverty…” He sincerely felt that it was destructive to communi-ties.

In 1913 Halliday first made some of the first

potlatch arrests, but the courts were not support-ive of the arrests and gave very lenient sen-tences.

After a change in leg-islation, in early 1921 a huge potlatch was hosted by Dan Cranmer at Village Island. Informants reported the event to Halliday, and 34 people were arrest-ed. Participants were encouraged to plead guilty, and could avoid prison time if they swore that they would stop participating in the pot-latch activities and for-feit their paraphernalia.

While some agreed to these terms, others did not, and these men were sentenced to between two and six months hard jail time in Oakalla Prison in Vancouver.

In 1921 and 1927 artist Mollie Wilson completed paintings on the rocky shore by the mouth of the Kingcome River which depicted First Nations ceremonial coppers in conflict with cows, meant to sym-bolize the clash of cul-tures between the First Nations and Halliday.

It has been reported that Halliday and other bureaucrats illegally sold ceremonial items and took others for their personal collections. This treatment of many sacred items was very offensive to many of the Kwakwaka’wakw, and many items were only discovered when efforts began in earnest to have the items returned to the community in the 1960s.

Halliday is quoted as having reported to his

superiors, “The pot-latch is killed.” This has become a well-known quote related to the pot-latch ban.

Halliday is now looked back upon as having presided over an unfortunate and mis-guided government ini-tiative, however in his mind he spent decades working to help advance the interests and cause of local First Nations. In 1935 he published a book about his experi-ences, called Potlatch and Totem and the Recollections of an Indian Agent.

William May Halliday retired in 1932 to Victoria, where he passed away in 1957.

Gazette staffPORT HARDY—

Port Hardy RCMP Constable Tyson Richard was feeling the heat Friday.

Then again, his assis-tance on the grill at the Cops for Cancer Chili Cook-off and barbecue in front of Overwaitea Foods was actually a welcome break from his fund-raising efforts of the last several months.

“Before this, I’d never done any fund-raising,” said Richard, who will join nearly two dozen of his law-enforcement counter-parts and media riders in the annual Tour de Rock beginning in Port Alice Sept. 21. “It’s about getting out of your comfort zone a little bit.”

The Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock, which provides money for paediatric can-cer research and vis-its by cancer-stricken children to Camp

Goodtimes, takes riders on an 1,100-kilometre journey from North Vancouver Island to the finish line in Victoria. The months of training for the ride have been a breeze for Richard, who found himself mildly surprised by the amount of fund-raising involved in the ride.

Still, Richard’s proven to be adept at attracting money. The more than $800 raised at Friday’s Chili Cook-off pushed his total past the $10,000 mark, compared to his origi-

nal goal of “anything over $5,000.”

He earlier helped organize the Cops for Cancer Golf Tournament at Seven Hills Golf & Country Club, then took part in a “Jail and Bail” fund-raiser at Carrot Park during Filomi Days.

“That Jail and Bail went pretty well,” he said. “We got some-thing like $1,300 in two hours, all while I was on shift.”

On Friday, Richard got help from the Cancer Society’s North

Island Community Giving coordinator, Lisa Harrison, and from Overwaitea, which donated hot dogs, chips and drinks to go along with four batches of chili that vied for top honours among taste-testers who donated money to vote on the best recipe.

Harrison also announced a deal has been struck with Cafe Guido in Port Hardy, which will concoct

a new coffee drink, with a share of pro-ceeds for the beverage in September going to Tour de Rock.

The event kicks off the evening of Friday, Sept. 20, with a dinner, auction and meet-and-greet with the riders at the Legion Hall in Port Alice. The next morn-ing the ride will com-mence, with the tour making meet-and-greet stops in Port Hardy and Port McNeill.

“I’m really looking forward to the riding,” Richard said. “Fund raising has pretty much taken up most of my life

for the last six months. It’s been good; it’s tir-ing, but I’ve met a lot of good people, done a lot of fun things.”

Catch of the days

Gazette staffSOINTULA—Malcolm Island rolled out the

welcome mat for its annual Salmon Days summer festival last weekend, and visitors responded on a brilliant, sun-splashed weekend.

From the opening party Friday at the Whale’s Rub Pub to the downtown street party Sunday, the weekend was filled with fun, food, entertainment and, of course, salmon.

The cornerstone of the event was Saturday’s parade down 1st Street, followed by the Sea Dogs’ traditional pit barbecue salmon dinner at the local ballfield, where entertainers took to the infield stage and kids were treated to face-paining, bounce-a-rama, various games and a puppet show.

Meanwhile, artists throughout Sointula were showcased in a series of tours each day.

Here are a few of our images from the day. See more at www.northislandgazette.com.

CLARKE,BERNARD EDWARD

April 14, 1946 – August 22, 2014

It is with great sadness that the Clarke family announces the passing of Bernard (Bernie) Edward Clarke.

He passed away peacefully at St. Joseph’s General Hospital, Comox, B.C. after a lengthy battle with cancer.

Bernie arrived in B.C. from Nova Scotia at the tender age of 19 and knew from the first day of work that he loved logging and chose to stay with that career until he retired in 2006.

His unconditional love of his family will be remembered by his wife of 45 years, Donna, son Danny (Tanya) of Port Hardy, daughter Deanna (Michael) of Nanaimo and the grandchildren that had a special place in his heart – Stephanie, Brenna, Tyler and Justin.

He will also be missed by his adoring sisters Veronica (Lyle), Coline (George), Doreen (Pat) and their respective families.

Special thanks to Dr. Neufeld, Dr. Tinmouth and the nurses and staff at St. Joseph’s General Hospital for their excellent care.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Lions Hall in Port McNeill on Saturday September 6, 2014 at 1:30 pm.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Port McNeill Legion, Branch 281.

J.R. RardonGazette editorFor the first time in

14 years, the North Island will play host to a provincial hock-ey championship tournament when B.C.’s top Tier 3 ban-tam squads compete here for the 2015 title next March.

“We just got word (Saturday) that our bid was successful,” said Joe McDonald, a longtime volunteer and former executive with Tri-Port Minor Hockey Association. “Now the real work

begins.”The 2015 Bantam

Tier 3 champion-ships will be held Mar. 14-20 and will include up to 11 teams from across the province, including the host North Island Eagles bantam team.

The location has not yet been determined, but McDonald said it would not be spread out across the North Island’s three rinks — Don Cruickshank Memorial Arena in Port Hardy, Chilton Regional Arena in Port McNeill, and

Doug Bondue Arena in Port Alice.

“It will be hosted in one centre only,” said McDonald, who will co-chair the tourna-ment along with Anne Dumonceaux. “I’ll be talking to Port Hardy this week to confirm their ice availability. The last provincials held here were in 2001, and that was in Port Hardy.”

The winning bid was spearheaded by the Eagles rep hockey program, under the umbrella of the Tri-Port Minor Hockey, to

the Vancouver Island Amateur Hockey Association, which had been selected by BC Hockey to host the Tier 3 bantam championships next spring.

The local club was one of three to sub-mit bids to VIAHA, said McDonald. Regardless of the ultimate tourney location, he added, this will be a North Island tournament with opportunities for all local commu-nities to host visiting teams and provide

activities and ameni-ties between games.

Tri-Port Minor Hockey will waste no time in getting to work putting on the championships. McDonald said the club will sponsor a table at the Sept. 6-7 Mount Waddington Regional Fall Fair to share information and recruit sponsors and volunteers, and businesses and indi-viduals will be con-tacted in the coming months.

“It does take a lot of work to host one

of these,” he said. “The more hands on deck, the easier it is.”

The 2014-15 North Island Eagles hock-ey season kicks off Sept. 8 with tryouts at Chilton Regional Arena.

To sign on as a vol-unteer or sponsor, or for any additional info, call McDonald at 250-956-3345. For information on North Island Eagles tryouts, contact head coach Andrew Laming at 250-956-2942 or email treetech8@hot-mail.com.

The Sportsman class win was claimed by Doug Day ahead of

Larry Hopps.In Race 5, also run

Parksville's Dave Deck took top hon-ours in the Pro class ahead of Vince Smith, while Port Alberni's Ron Clark held off Brent Odland for the Sportsman win..

Sunday saw the driv-ers back on the track for Race 6, the final outing of the season at the eighth-mile strip.

Schulte was once again top in the Super-Pro class Sunday, crowning a fine week-end for the Black

Creek driver. Port Alberni's

Richard Spencer headed up the stand-

ings in the Pro class, while Port McNeill's Dayton Fentie topped the Sportsman class.

Gazette staffWhen dragon boating

arrived on North Vancouver Island six years ago, local paddlers saw it as a way to join friends in fun and fitness.

For five members of the Tri-Port Dragon Boat Society, it’s now become a way to see the world.

The quintet of North Island paddlers traveled to Ravenna, Italy, this week to compete in the 9th annual International Dragon Boating Federation Club Crews World

Championships.Irene Paterson, Shari

Woodside, Adele Schoeman, Sandra Logan and Joy Zwicker qualified for the world champion-ships with their showing in last year’s Canadian Nationals in Victoria. They will paddle with the Women’s B entry of the Gorging Dragons, part of the Vancouver Island Paddling Club, in a world competition expected to draw 4,500 athletes from 130 clubs in 30 countries.

“Last year we went to

the nationals in Victoria and had somewhat the same competition,” said Paterson. “But now it’s on a world-wide scale. It’s so much bigger. We’re very excited.”

The Gorging Dragons, who are entering a total of four teams in men’s, mixed and women’s competition, are traveling this week and will spend several days in Italy to “get over our jet lag,” and get in some prac-tice on the man-made lake where the competition will be held, said Paterson. The

racing gets under way Sept. 2 and will continue through the closing ceremonies and awards Sept. 7.

In contrast to the camara-derie-oriented approach of recreational dragon boaters on the North Island, the five local world champion-ship competitors have had to devote themselves to extensive training. Paterson even moved to Mill Bay in June to be near her team for training.

“It’s five days a week on the water, three or four days at the gym,” she said.

“You’re running, watch-ing your diet; everything is pointed to the competition in September.”

On the water, the rac-ing will be somewhat dif-ferent from the regattas to which they’ve become accustomed on Canada’s West Coast. The gruelling two-kilometer race, used as something of a tiebreaker following sprint heat races here, will open the world championships and be used to seed crews into heats for the 200-metre sprint races to follow, Paterson said.

A trip from Canada to Italy, of course, can’t be all work and no play. The pad-dlers will spend down time in Ravenna touring some of the historic buildings and art works that make it known as the “City of Mosaics”. After the com-petition is completed, they will travel by train to visit nearby sites in Venice, Florence and other areas.

“Most of us are taking a week before (the racing) in the area and, after five days of competition, making a holiday out of it.”
