Wind, hydro boost budget

J.R. Rardon Black Press PORT McNEILL—The Regional District of Mount Waddington budget will see an uptick of 2.41 per cent in 2015 over 2014 levels, but residential ratepayers are more likely to see a reduction than an increase in their individual tax bills. The RDMW board of directors approved first reading of the fiveyear financial plan bylaw for 2015 during their regular meeting Jan. 20. The modest increase in the $4.5 million budget is more than offset by tax revenue from two major renewable energy projects constructed in the past two years. The Cape Scott Wind Farm, located within the Regional District’s Area B, and the Kokish Run-ofRiver hydro project, located in Area D, are now online and paying tax assessments that provide benefit across the region. “This shows there is a benefit enjoyed by those who are not getting direct assistance, i.e., Area B and D,” treasurer Joe Mackenzie told the board. “Each of the jurisdictions’ taxation between 2013 and 2015 has dropped.” Mackenzie described the regional district’s tax system as holding a constant dollar value, then adjusting the mill rate to reflect that total. When one class of ratepayer puts in more — in this case, utilities — the other classes see a reduction in their own burden. “We have a fairly constant regional tax requisition, that can be likened to a pie,” Mackenzie said. “If some of the clients are paying more, then others pay less.”

Renewables help tax base From page 1 Director Heidi Soltau of Area A asked why the Kokish River project appeared to

be taxed at a substantially higher level than the Cape Scott Wind Farm. Mackenzie noted

the Kokish project, operated by Kwagis Power, a limited partnership between the ‘Namgis First Nation and Brookfield Renewable, shows a 20 per cent increase this year because it recently completed an additional $25 million in construction. Administrator Greg Fletcher said there are other factors that create different assessments for the wind farm and run-of-river project.

NOTICE TO PARENTS

Registration at Non-Neighbourhood Schools School District No.85 has a policy and process for students who wish to attend a school other than the one that is closest to their ordinary place or residence. • Application for students to attend a non-neighbourhood school must be submitted to the school no later than February 15th each year. • Students must be registered at their respective neighbourhood school, the one that is closest to their ordinary place of residence, before applying to enrol at a non-neighbourhood school. For further information please contact your local school for a copy of the Student Admission Policy No. 2-295/R or visit the district website at: www.sd85.bc.ca

* Students already attending a non-neighbourhood school do not need to reapply for subsequent years. **Students attending a non-neighbourhood school wishing to transfer back to their neighbourhood school should notify the neighbourhood school by February 15th.

“They have a very bizarre formula for dealing with assessments,” Fletcher noted. “At wind farms, the number of tonnes of concrete is one of the things that plays into the value of it,” said Fletcher. “The Kokish is based on pipelines and the actual plant itself, as well as the transmission lines. The valuation part is the key.” After directors chewed on that information for a few moments, board chair Dave Rushton joked, “I can see a cement road all the way up (to the wind farm)”. The Regional District of Mount Waddington administers solid waste collection and disposal, fire protection, street lights, inspection, transit, emergency planning, consolidated planning, economic development and 911 service for the vast unincorporated area of North Vancouver Island, as well as Chilton Regional Arena and regional branches of the Vancouver Island Regional Library.

Cenotaph project hits funding snag

Kathy O’Reilly-Taylor photo The Carrot Park Cenotaph project has been put on hold pending federal funding.

By Kathy O’Reilly-Taylor Editor Port Hardy — The Cenotaph rebuilding project in Port Hardy’s Carrot Park has hit a budgeting bump. The project calls for the current cenotaph, the focal point for Remembrance Day and other ceremonies in town, to be taken down and replaced. The vision is to keep the cross from the existing cenotaph and add it to a new monument that will be flanked by a monument to the forgotten soldier and a memorial totem. The memorial totem, currently located by the Chamber of Commerce office, was carved by local

artist Calvin Hunt and commemorates members of First Nations who served in past conflicts. The 101 (North Island) Squadron, along with members of the Port Hardy Royal Canadian Legion Branch #237, are working on the project. The plan was approved in principle by Port Hardy Council. Russ Helberg, 101 Squadron member, updated District of Port Hardy council on the project at its Jan. 13 meeting. Helberg told council the federal program they were hoping to use for funding has run out of money. Helberg said he has been in contact with North Island MP

John Duncan who will lobby to make new monies available for the project. As a result, plans have been put on hold pending the outcome of the 2015 federal budget. The partners are looking to fund the project from four sources, the federal government, the District of Port Hardy, the Port Hardy Royal Canadian Legion and in-kind donations. According to Chief Administrative Officer Rick Davidge, the District of Port Hardy has not yet committed monetary funding to the project. “But it is certainly on council’s list,” Davidge said. “They have asked for some

Crime numbers down in Hardy Gazette staff Overall, crime appears to be on the decline in Port Hardy. According to statistics presented to District of Port Hardy council Jan. 25 by Staff Sgt. Gord Brownridge, RCMP dealt with a total of 802 files in the third quarter of 2014, down from 873 in the same period in 2013. There was a slight

increase in assaults causing bodily harm from 25 to 29 and sexual assaults went from two to three. Break and enters also went up. Break-ins of businesses went from two to four; theft under $5,000 from motor vehicles saw the largest increase from three to 10. Shoplifting declined from

nine to three, impaired driving from 17 to six, and possession of marijuana dropped from seven to two. Noise complaints went from 26 to 14. Causing a disturbance went from 32 to 27 and mischief from 36 to 32. The number of prisoners held in the third quarter of 2014 was 182 up from 162 for the same period in 2013.

Geared up for gardening I received a photo from Lethbridge Saturday. They had received five inches of snow and overnight the temperature went down to a balmy minus 20. Here in the North Island, my car thermometer read six above. I was delighted that I would not have to get up in the morning, go out and scrape the snow off my car’s windshield. Rain is awesome that way. It’s strange to live in a place without a snowy, cold winter. In Quebec, where I was born and raised, we always received a ton of snow. The same is true in northern Alberta, but not so much in southern Alberta where it snows, but often disappears when a Chinook blows through. Summers are beautiful in both places, warm and sunny, but there are periods in fall and in spring when everything is brown. It is pretty gloomy. Perhaps that is why, in those by areas, Mother Nature insists Kathy on putting on such a brilliant O’Reilly-Taylor and vivid show of colours in fall and again in spring, to tide people over the months when everything is lifeless and dormant. As someone who loves gardening, it is interesting to be in a place where so many things are green yearround. Although the calendar has just turned to February, as I make my way around the Tri-Port area, I am beginning to see plants starting to grow and things like tulips popping up and getting ready to blossom. By the Don Cruikshank Memorial Arena in Port Hardy I noticed heather was in bloom this weekend. Seeing flowers in bloom in January is a shock – but a good one. I am excited to see what spring and summer do to the landscape here and eventually trying my hand at gardening. I have noticed some businesses have flower planters out in front of their establishments, including the North Island Gazette. I’m looking forward to getting it planted and adding more to spruce up the exterior of the place. Beautification is so important to a community. In Pincher Creek, where I managed the paper, I belonged to a group of women who developed flower gardens in public areas in town including in front of the pool, the post office, at the museum and in the Cenotaph Park. I think at one point we maintained 37 beds. We also organized a program to put hanging baskets on Main Street. While the gardens and flowers made things look pretty for tourists who came to the area to visit, locals also appreciated the efforts. It made them feel like someone cared. The North Island is already breathtaking in its beauty; I can’t wait to see what it looks like when it is blooming.

Teachers adapting, but not union The B.C. education ministry put on a forum on the future of education last week, bringing together public and private school leaders with experts from around the world. First up was Andreas Schleicher, on video link from his office in Paris, where he is director of education and skills for the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. He began with the international problem of people coming out of university who can’t find jobs, amid a skills shortage. Schleicher said this is happening today because, “it’s not what you know, but what you can do with what you know.” Some education systems are adapting better than others as the value of merely passing on facts has declined. The OECD runs international testing that consistently ranks B.C. and Canada among the best schools in the world, and Schleicher described how that testing has evolved to keep up. But our progress in the

past 10 years has tended to in a classroom. She disputed be slower than some Asian the OECD’s financial calcountries, despite B.C. being culations, lecturing some of on the “high end of invest- the world’s top economists ment” in education.

BCTF president Jim Iker sat stoically through the proceedings, where speakers described integrating community groups and businesses directly with schools. That’s underway here, with trades training in particular. Iker’s record on adaptation is clear from his own career. The only school where he actually taught was in the northwest B.C. village of Topley, and it closed in 2010 due to a long-term decline in rural students. By 2001 Iker had left the classroom to work for the Burns Lake teacher union local, which the BCTF continues to staff eight years after that school district and others disappeared through amalgamation.

we are hoping that over time our patients will start seeing the benefits.” Just as before, residents can call the clinic at 250-956-3377 to make medical appointments. Island Health clinicians will continue to support clients with appointments that are booked through community programs and by clinic staff. Additional Island Health services are expected to be relocated to the Port McNeill Medical Collaborative in the coming months. “This collaboration aligns with Island Health’s move to community-focused health and care,” said Alison Mitchell, Island Health Senior Manager of Health Services in Mount Waddington. “Island Health is proud to collaborate with the Port McNeill physicians and staff to offer this client-centered approach and achieve more seamless, integrated care.” Island Health social worker Kirsten Kucy experienced the benefits of being based at the Port McNeill Medical Collaborative as soon as she relocated to the facility at 2161 McNeill Road. “I was able to work with Dr. Dave Whittaker and Nurse Peta Kelly, and the whole team was better able to support our clients in getting the care they need,” Kucy said.

focus, Port McNeill and area residents will have access to a wide variety of health care services all in one convenient location,” said Health Minister Terry Lake. “The clinic’s team-based approach to care is a perfect example of work that is ongoing across the province to improve service delivery to benefit both patients and health care providers.” This collaboration also reduces the need for separate appointments. For example, the social worker or Mental Health and Substance Use staff could refer a client directly to a member of the primary health care team when appropriate. Physicians will also book patients in to see the social worker for specific consultation around adult guardianship, advanced directives, navigating the health system, access to funding and other issues. “The future of health care, especially rural health, is collaboration. Here at the Port McNeill Collaborative Clinic we are looking at ways of doing this effectively,” said Dr. Dave Whittaker, clinic physician and board member for the North Island Chapter of the Rural and Remote Division of Family Practice. “We know that it is more than just working in the same building, but

PORT McNEILL — Residents of Port McNeill have improved access to integrated health services thanks to a new collaborative approach taken by health care providers in the region. The medical clinic in Port McNeill has added “collaborative” to its name to reflect its inclusive approach to health care. Local physicians who own the Port McNeill clinic recently renovated the facility and increased the number of exam rooms from nine to eleven. Through a leasing arrangement with Island Health, communitybased Mental Health and Substance Use and social work clinicians who work from a number of different sites in the community are rotating through the clinic, integrating with the clinic’s physicians and staff. The facility, now known as the Port McNeill Collaborative Clinic, provides clients with improved access to health care and an expanded, broader range of services in one location. Island Health clinicians are able to make themselves available to clients after they have been seen by a physician, nurse or nurse practitioner. “Thanks to the clinic’s new collaborative

Baby dragonboaters start practice By Kathy O’Reilly-Taylor Editor After some warmup exercises on the dock, members of the Tri Port Dragon Boat Society took to calm ocean waters for their first practice of the season Saturday morning. “We’re getting ready for a 1,000-metre, one-turn race April 26 in Nanaimo,” said President Cora Nelson. “These are the girls we are paddling with through the winter to help achieve their goal. Their coach, Tom Arnold, sent us an invite for Nanaimo so we put together a crew with girls from up and down the island who are also

practising through these winter months. Four members, Joy Zwicker, Shari Woodside, Sandra Logan and Stephanie Nelson are trying for nationals,” said Nelson. Port Hardy has two teams that compete — the NaMaxSala mixed and the Warriors’ ladies team. “We also do a Learn to Paddle (clinic) early in the spring,” she said. Port McNeill has two ladies teams, the Pussy Cats and The Slayers. They also do a Learn to Paddle program in the spring.

Organization of the tournament began last fall, when the Tri-Port Minor Hockey Association was announced as the host for the bantam championship. The pace has picked up noticeably in recent weeks as volunteers are being recruited and assigned and plans are being finalized for the six-day, 10-team tourney for programs from across the province. “It takes a lot of work to put on one of these,” said Joe McDonald, co-director of the tourney along with Anne Dumonceaux. Organizers plan to host a welcome banquet on Saturday, Mar. 14, at Port Hardy’s Civic Centre. If they are able to raise the estimated $5,000plus needed to feed all players and officials, the banquet will be a mandatory events for all participants. Games begin the following day, Mar. 15.

J.R. Rardon Black Press Port Hardy — Organizers of the first provincial hockey championship held here in 14 years hope the impression the North Island leaves on hundreds of visitors will stick. Funding for the 2015 Tier 3 Bantam Hockey championships, meanwhile, is being bolstered by a different kind of stick. Alert Bay artist Aubrey Johnson has created a one-of-a-kind hockey stick, adorned with aboriginal designs and painting, which is being raffled as a fundraiser for the Mar. 14-20 tourney. “My old lady said it would be a good thing to do for the North Island,” said Johnson, 48, who does not have any children playing hockey, but who is an admitted fan of the game. “I’m planning on going.” Johnson is a member of the Weka’yi First Nation of Cape Mudge, whose ancestry can be traced to the Haida Nation through his maternal grandmother. His art has been influenced by his work with Floyd Joseph — whose own work is influenced by both Haida and Coast Salish traditions — and with Kwakwaka’wakw artist Jack James Jr. of Guilford Island. J o h n s o n ’s u n i q u e hockey stick seems to blend elements of K w a k w a k a ’ w a k w, Haida and Coast Salish imagery in a totem pole structure. Working off-and-on for about three-and-ahalf weeks, Johnson created a stick from yellow cedar that replicates a totem pole. The top figure is an eagle, to represent the North Island Eagles hockey team that will host the March tournament. The Eagle tops a killer whale — “for Alert Bay,” Johnson said — a raven, or trickster, and finally, a man holding a hockey stick. “I actually have a little puck I carved, but I couldn’t figure out how to put it on under the stick and make it look right,” Johnson said with

Goalie Kayden Jones allowed only two goals all weekend as the Eagles blitzed to wins of 11-1 at Nanaimo Saturday and 9-1 at Campbell River Sunday. “That was beautiful,” peewee coach Marty Gage said after his club dispatched the Tyees Sunday at Strathcona Gardens. “An absolutely perfect weekend. We’re building momentum

now, at just the right time.” The Eagles will carry that momentum back home this weekend, where they’ll host Cowichan Valley Sunday at 1:15 p.m. in Port Hardy in the final game of the Tier 3 North round robin. A win Sunday would clinch the peewees (3-0) the top seed from the North and a home date in the semifinals against the No. 2 qualifier from the South Division. Coming off Saturday’s big win in Nanaimo, the Eagles showed no sign of a letdown Sunday in Campbell River. The peewees jumped to a 4-0 lead in the first 12 min-

utes, scored on the power play and on the penalty kill, and even tacked on an exclamation point when Mathew Saunders roofed the final goal — his fourth of the game — with 0.2 seconds left in the game. “We just keep up hard pressure,” said Saunders. “And everyone is playing with a good attitude. There’s no yapping at each other.” The Eagles also

got goals from Rhys Dutcyvich, Joey Grant, Payton Laming, Ryan Patterson and Luke Gage in Sunday’s win. Dutcyvich, Saunders and Braden Walkus added assists. “It’s nice to see us getting scoring across our lines,” Marty Gage said. “It was a shooting gallery.” It was more of the same Saturday in Nanaimo. Dutcyvich notched a hat trick and Luke Gage,

J.R. Rardon Black Press C A M P B E L L RIVER— Just seconds after an apparent goahead goal was waived off, Tanner Roberts lifted a no-doubt shot high into the back of the net with 1:07 left to play as the North Island Eagles skated off with a dramatic, 3-2 win over the Campbell River B Tyees in Tier 3 North playoff action Sunday. The Eagles never led until Roberts’ score, which proved to be the final play of the game as the teams ran up against their allotted ice time on the arena clock. The Eagles (1-2 playoffs) overcame 28 minutes in penalties — to 12 minutes for the hosts — and the resulting frustration that boiled over to the team’s bench. The infractions included a warning to the coaches and a twominute bench minor, but never spilled over onto the ice in the form of retaliation. “With everything going on in the game, there was nothing in favour for us to win except the effort of the kids,” assistant

coach Chad Mackenzie said. “The coaches didn’t always handle it well, but the kids just put everything out there and played for each other.” Just 10 seconds before Roberts’ winning goal — on the game clock — Michael Perez punched home a rebound to touch off a celebration by the Eagles. But as they skated past the bench for fist taps and lined up for the face-off, the officials were conferring on the end line. After an extended chat, the referee waved off the goal to disbelief on the North Island bench. It was later determined there was a goalie interference call on the play, and the teams lined for a face-off to the right of Tyees goalie Colton Zaleschuk. Roberts won the draw back to defenseman Evan Fox, who sent the puck to David Charlie in the corner. He found Roberts, who had cycled to the bottom of the opposite circle, for

After a scoreless first period, Noah Fladager gave the Tyees a 1-0 lead at 5:43 of the second, punching a point-blank rebound into the empty side of the net following teammate Drew Price’s shot from the opposite wing.

The Eagles answered less than a minute later, with Perez one-timing a shot from the low slot off Roberts’ crossing pass. The Tyees went back up 2-1 when Cole Devlin’s shot from the bottom of the circle bounced off Eagles goalie Nigel Walkus and into the net at 7:48 of the third. Again, the Eagles responded, with Roberts poking home an easy tap at the off post after Zaleschuk swept to his right to stop a rush by

Fox at 11:03. “There was a little lack of discipline,” Tyees coach Vince Devlin said. “The last 10 minutes we lost our focus, and North Island never quit. They wanted it more.” The bantams, who will host the 2015 Tier 3 Provincial Championships in Port Hardy next month, return to the road this weekend to close out the roundrobin with a 3:40 p.m. game at Cowichan Valley Saturday.

Mustangs cruised to the 2015 CARHA Hockey Pacific Cup title in their division Jan. 18 in Victoria. The Mustangs claimed the 35-over CARHA division championship with an 11-1 romp over the Victoria Eagles in the title game to finish unbeaten in the tourney. “An outstanding weekend of hockey,” said Marty Gage. “These old North Island boys still got game.” The Mustangs opened pool play with a 7-1 win over the Eagles. The highlight was a 6-3 win over the Victoria Bay Leafs, who “have had our number the last two years,” said Gage. Goalie Aaron Hinton was named game MVP

in the championship final. Hinton, of Port McNeill, and Gage, of Port Hardy, were joined on the squad by fellow North Islanders John Murgatroyd, John Prachnau, Reed Allen, Glenn Moore, Al Rushton, Joe Murgatroyd and Chris Dutcyvich of Port McNeill; Dave Stewart of Port Alice; and for-

mer Port McNeill resident Chris Forsberg. The 2015 Pacific Cup featured competition in 22 men’s and women’s divisions ranging from 19-over to 50-over oldtimers. The 38th annual tourney, one of North America’s largest adult recreational tourneys, drew nearly 140 teams from across Canada and the U.S.

Ray Lasota May 3, 1931 - Feb. 3, 2006

You Can You can shed tears that he is gone, or you can smile because he lived. You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back, or you can open your eyes and see all that he left. Your heart can be empty because you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see him, or you can be full of the love that you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live for yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember him and only that he is gone, or you can cherish his memory and let it live on. You can cry, close your mind and be empty or you can do what he would have wanted...smile, open your eyes, love and move on.
