Tofino residence robbed ANDREW BAILEY
Westerly News
The owners of a Pacific Rim Highway residence went out for a hike on July 23 and returned home to find several of their electronic devices had been stolen. The stolen items included an iPhone, iPad, and iPod, according to Tofino RCMP detachment commander Sgt. Blaine Mumford. Mumford told the Westerly News there were no signs of forced entry at the scene and the thief, or thieves, ignored larger items of value while committing the crime. “It looks like either a door was left unlocked or a key that was hidden outside was used to enter,” he said. “Whoever did it, it looks like they were in and out quite quickly.” An investigation is ongoing and anyone with any information about the theft is encouraged to contact the detachment at 250-725-3242. Mumford is advising West Coasters to lock up and protect themselves from summer’s rise in crime. “It’s a reminder to everyone that it’s summertime and there’s lots of people around; it pays to double check that you’ve locked your doors and windows,” he said. “I know in Tofino, and Ucluelet, people sometimes hesitate to lock their doors and they feel like they shouldn’t have to but, unfortunately, we’re in the day in age where it’s better safe than sorry.” andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Ukee names volunteer, business, and citizen of the year ANDREW BAILEY
Westerly News A healthy serving of community pride was infused into Sunday’s Ukee Days closing ceremonies as Jeff Swann, Sandy Rantz, and Solidarity Snacks were celebrated for their Ucluetian dedication. Coun. Randy Oliwa presented Rantz with Ucluelet’s Volunteer of the Year award and touted her efforts to earn it. “It is a great honour, pleasure and privilege to announce this year’s Volunteer of the Year award,” Oliwa said. “Chances are you’ve run into Ms. Rantz somewhere; she’s at all of these events. If something is happening in the community, this young lady is in the thick of it.” Rantz told the Westerly she was delighted to receive the
award. “It means the world to me. I’m really happy to be recognized by my community,” she said. “I’m just so appreciative of the award and I love living in Ucluelet.” She said her love of the community stems from the people she shares it with. “I volunteer because I like to get out there and do everything. I like to be a part of everything and I like to have a purpose...I started volunteering just to get to know people in my community and it certainly met that goal,” she said. “It’s a very supportive community and it makes it easier when you’re going through tough times because you’re really embraced by so many people and you’re so close to everybody in your community.”
Coun. Mayco Noel presented the Business of the Year award to Solidarity Snacks’ co-owners Kasia Kromka and Cody Naples. “You’ve been a solid part of the business community,” Noel said. Kromka told the Westerly she was both stoked and shocked to receive the award. “I did not expect it at all,” she said. “It’s an honour that people are thinking about us... and that they’re aware of all the things that we do around town. It’s really special.” Along with promoting good food, Solidarity Snacks is heavily involved in the Ucluelet Market Society as well as the Army, Navy, and Air Force Veterans Club. Kromka said the community’s support is vital to Solidarity’s success.
“Especially in a community of this size, in a small town, if the community doesn’t support you in what you’re doing, you won’t exist; you won’t be able to function as a business,” she said. “I’d like to thank everybody that voted for us and everybody in the community.” Coun. Sally Mole presented Ucluelet’s Citizen of the Year award to Jeff Swann. “It’s a huge privilege for me to announce the Citizen of the Year Jeff Swann who has been a big part of our community for a long time,” she said. Swann told the Westerly he was “taken aback” by the award. “This community is so full of wonderful citizens...It was a very nice honour to receive,” he said.

Food Bank’s breakfast a champion
Our Ukee Days Deluxe Breakfast on Saturday was a huge success. We raised more money in about half Cris Martin/the time of our previ“Pancake BreakLocal Voice ous fasts,” so, as a fundraiser, it exceeded our expectations and we are very happy. The following entities made our breakfast possible: the District of Ucluelet, the Ucluelet Parks and Recreation Department, Executive Chef Ian Riddick of the Long Beach Lodge Resort, Assistant to the Chef, Zack, our Board of Directors and our excellent volunteers. There was much planning and hours of preparation for this event but the positive responses made it worth every minute. Personally, I heard two comments that went like this, “This is the best breakfast ever for Ukee Days and I have been coming over 20 years” and “I feel like we are in the Vancouver Hotel.”
The setting was charming and inviting and the array of food was over the top. Everyone was very impressed with the “eggs to order.” Thank you also to our West Coast communities for coming out to support our fundraising efforts. We truly appreciate all of the help you give us. I say it all the time, we are very fortunate to live in such a giving community. Thank you, Ukee!

Driver trapped in vehicle after collision ANDREW BAILEY
Westerly News The Ucluelet Volunteer Fire Brigade needed the Jaws of Life to remove a Tofino woman from her vehicle after a significant single vehicle collision last week. She had been driving along the Pacific Rim Highway when she lost control and crashed into a tree near Wick Road, according to Sgt. Jeff Swann of the Ucluelet RCMP. The incident occurred on July 20 around 3:30 p.m. The woman was trapped inside her vehicle when emergency crews arrived but the fire brigade was able to free her using their Jaws of Life tool and BC Ambulance personnel transported her to the hospital. Swann said the vehicle was damaged beyond repair and the woman suffered several injuries in the crash, including a broken leg and broken ankle. “With the amount of damage caused to that truck, which was a big GMC pickup, the driver is extremely lucky that nothing further was caused,” he said. “She’s extremely lucky, and we’re thankful to have the emergency response teams that attended. They did their jobs diligently and quickly to extricate her from the vehicle and get her to the medical care that she needed.” Swann said police are speaking with witnesses in an attempt to figure out what caused the vehicle to veer off the road so violently. “No other vehicles were involved...The roads were
dry, visibility was clear, and alcohol was not involved,” he said. “The investigation is still ongoing to determine the cause of the accident.”

Local asks Tofino to update burning bylaw ANDREW BAILEY
Westerly News Tofino’s district office is happy with its current campfire bylaw and won’t be amending it, despite being asked to by a local resident. Campfires are covered under Tofino’s Outdoor Burning Bylaw 1071, 2008, which stipulates that all fires must be “at least 3 meters from any vegetation, beach material, buildings, structures, overhead wires, vehicles, or any other combustible materials.”
During last week’s regular meeting, Tofino’s municipal council reviewed a letter from Tofino local Judi MacLeod who urged them to extend this distance to 20 metres. “I feel that 3 metres is just too close in a residential neighborhood and would like to see it extended to 20 metres,” she wrote. “Our property was threatened this year by our neighbours leaving a campfire unattended in the middle of their dry long grass on a hot windy day. Sparks were blowing onto our property.”
MacLeod wrote that she had spoken with Tofino’s Fire Chief John Gilmour, as well as the district’s lead bylaw officer Robert Letts, but was told any change to the bylaw would need to come from council. “If it was changed this would still allow those with acreage, and/or waterfront to have a fire, just not in a close neighborhood, where it’s dangerous to other properties,” she wrote. “Please seriously consider changing this bylaw.”
After reviewing MacLeod’s letter, council seemed set to direct district staff to look into the feasibility of amending the bylaw but district CAO Bob MacPherson explained that this had already been done. “I have discussed this letter with the Fire Chief and, at this time, the Fire Chief is not of the view that it’s necessary to amend our bylaw,” MacPherson said. “It’s something that we’re always looking at, and always mindful of, but the Fire Chief
is not of the view that there are problems, or is potential for problems, with the bylaw.” Upon hearing this, the motion to refer MacLeod’s letter to staff was withdrawn and council chose instead to simply receive it for information. The bylaw prohibits campfires between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. and also stipulates all fires must be fully extinguished before being left unattended for any period of time. andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca
Tofino’s bicyclists keep rolling through stop signs Westerly News Sgt. Blaine Mumford of the Tofino RCMP is reminding local, and visiting, bicyclists to obey stop signs. “We’ve had a few people
come in to complain about cyclists not obeying the stop signs in town...I’ve had incidents myself where bicyclists have whizzed by me when I’m waiting at the stop sign,” Mumford told the Westerly. “Like any other vehicle
on the road, they have to obey the rules and really, ultimately, stopping at those stop signs is going to protect them from getting hurt. If they have an interaction with a car, the car is going to come out on the winning end of that so it’s
just a reminder to people to please stop at the stop signs.” A cyclist who fails to stop at a stop sign is subject to a $167 fine.
Summer’s action a bummer for some Tofino police have seen a significant upswing in nuisance calls, like noise complaints and public alcohol consumption, according to Sgt. Mumford. “The standard summertime increase in people is having that effect,” he said. He encourages locals to continue reporting
noise complaints and said these reports help police crack down on nuisances before they become longstanding issues. “It helps us to know if there are places or houses where this is a common occurring event and then we can try other methods to deal with it aside from just attending the one time,” he said. “If we have a place that’s becoming a party house... we can go in the daytime and try and have a bit of a conversation with the people living there and explain the impact they’re having on the people who live around them. They might not fully understand that other people who live nearby have to work and have kids and all those things that make the noise a problem for people.” Along with noise com-
plaints, Mumford encourages anyone who sees anyone causing a ruckus or consuming alcohol in public to let police know at 250-725-3242. “We want to come and deal with those things and it’s not always that we’re going to come and engage right into enforcement and giving people tickets. Often, education is the first step when we’re dealing with those kinds of situations,” he said. “We’ll talk to people and explain to them what the rules are and 95 per cent of the time that’s all it takes, people are happy to comply and then everyone’s happy.” andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

“To have that honour is pretty special. I can’t say enough about it and I want to thank everybody for that.” Swann is the Ucluelet RCMP’s detachment commander and said his award is a reflection of the community’s positive relationship with its local police. “It’s a special feeling. It warms my heart that we’ve been able to create such long-lasting relationships between the police and the community,” he said. “It’s so interwoven that when I’m working, half the time I forget that I’m in uniform because I just feel like such a big part of this community and I know that the other officer’s here in Ucluelet feel the same way. It’s such a warm, caring, giving community.” Achieving such high popularity
while keeping the community in-line would seem a tough task but Swann said respect goes a long way. “The police are out there enforcing laws...but I think if you do it in a fair and just manner, and you’re polite and respectful when you do your job, people will understand,” he said. He added Ucluelet is a joy to police. “We’re blessed to work in this community,” he said. “I feel guilty most days taking a paycheque because of the support that we get in this community.” Swann said the community’s strength was shown by the lack of antics over the Ukee Days weekend. “We just had our busiest weekend of the year go off without a hitch,” he said. “This community needs to be proud.” andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Pacific Rim Foundation Scholarship awarded Chenoah Shine pursues post-secondary armed with $40,000 ANDREW BAILEY
Westerly News Each member of the West Coast’s most recent graduating class has reason to celebrate, and to be congratulated, but one graduate in particular is walking on significant sunshine. Chenoah Shine is 2015’s Pacific Rim Foundation Scholarship recipient. The $40,000 scholarship is the West Coast’s largest and most prestigious scholarship and is awarded to one Ucluelet Secondary School graduate each year. Shine was honoured with her well-deserved award at a special ceremony held during last week’s regular council meeting in Tofino. “The foundation awards the student who has excelled with their involvement in their respective communities and their engagement in the bigger world,” said foundation president Gary Marks. “We celebrate their volunteerism and contributions to others and their determination to make a difference in a world faced with great challenges.” Marks said the 17 year-old Shine has already demonstrated a strong character, keen reliability, and a dedicated sense of purpose. “The diverse interests in this young lady’s life, from photography to equestrian arts to guiding in the wilderness, and how she pursues them with an open and keen mind and a dedicated and kind heart is inspiring to all of us,” he said. “Her extensive and longstanding commitments and involvement in various endeavours both local and global are commendable. We are proud to give Chenoah this award and encourage her in her declared pursuits.” Shine spoke at the presentation and expressed huge gratitude for the communities she has called home. “My experience of growing up in Tofino and Ucluelet has been so full of inspiration, possibility and community-wide encouragement and support,” she said. “This is an invaluable asset to a young person’s life.” She said that before arriving at the presentation, she spent the morning on Long Beach with her feet in the sand and her eyes on the horizon. “I was reminded that I’m kind of on the edge of that same journey in my own life. I’m about to take sail and go out and figure things out,” she said. “I’m just so incredibly grateful to the foundation and everybody for giving me this ship to take sail with, this incredible opportunity...I’m excited to explore the many doors that this
scholarship will open for me and I’m so grateful; thank you so much for this opportunity.” Emily Tranfield, the scholarship’s first recipient in 2009, also spoke at the presentation and touted the significant impact the scholarship has had on her educational and professional pursuits. “The scholarship played a pivotal role in my education path to say the very least,” she said. “Thanks to the scholarship I’ve been able to pursue my academic goals and, really, the academic education that is needed to pursue some of my lifetime goals.” Tranfield said the $40,000 scholarship was a huge financial relief and allowed her to focus on her studies. While she chose to work as a student advisor and outdoor recreation leader, Tranfield said her grades would have suffered if she had been forced into the workforce. “It enabled me to actually use my evenings for studying,” she said. “I have no idea where I’d fit time in for studying otherwise; I would have had to have taken a lighter course load or I would have seen a lower GPA for sure.” Tranfield has put five years of outdoor recreation guide experience under her belt and achieved Whitewater River Rafting Guide certification. “The scholarship enabled me to financially be able to pursue the experiences for growth and certification that I wish to and enabled me to experience so much more than just lecture halls and the library,” she said. “By not having to pay for my classes and books I was able to spend some of my time looking for certification outside of my academics.” Tranfield has completed her Bachelor of Science and expects to have completed her Bachelor of Education by Christmas. “Words cannot express thank you enough to the (scholarship’s) benefactors. You’ve given me the opportunity to experience and pursue so much more than just classroom studies; you’ve made a tremendous difference in my life,” she said. She congratulated Shine for earning the award. “In order to be awarded this scholarship, you’ve already shown determination with your life goals and your devotion to our West Coast communities,” she said. “The awarding of the scholarship to you will greatly assist you in continuing your goals.” Marks noted this year’s grad class offered an abundance of
worthy scholarship recipients and he congratulated every student who applied. “Each of the applicants demonstrated that they seek to live in a world with a life of purpose and consequence and make a difference,” he said. “Once again we see the unconditional love and support that parents, teachers and community give to our children. These young adults are a reflection of us and their hard work and earnest efforts Chenoah Shine is congratulated by Pacific Rim Foundation president Gary Marks for are a tribute to the earning the foundation’s $40,000 scholarship.

Alberni Valley Times The 7-Eleven on Johnston Road was hit with an armed robbery on Sunday. Shortly after it occurred, Jimmy Ernest Cook was arrested and charged with robbery. Just after midnight, Cook allegedly
entered the 7-Eleven with a knife and demanded cash from the employees. Police believe he left with an undisclosed amount of money and was pursued by a police dog shortly after police arrived on scene. The initial track was detected but was quickly lost.
Further investigation led police to a residence in the same neighbourhood, where they arrested 24-yearold Cook. In August 2014, the 7-Eleven on Third Avenue was the target of an armed robbery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Incidents such as these are relatively rare in Port

Panama murder victim grew up in Port MARTIN WISSMATH
A Port Alberni father is in shock after his son was murdered in Panama a week ago. Joe Potrebenko, 53, was shot and killed in a home invasion on July 18 on his property in Panama, between the town of
Boquete and the city of David. Potrebenko grew up in Port Alberni and graduated from Alberni District Secondary School. He moved to Panama about 10 years ago, said his father, Mike. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extreme shock to me,â&#x20AC;? he said. Police in the Central Amer-
ican country are on the lookout for three armed men who shot Potrebenko as they entered his yurt-style home on the night of July 18. His wife and mother-inlaw were forced to the floor as the culprits searched the house for money and guns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joe had no guns at all,â&#x20AC;? said Mike. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe
in them.â&#x20AC;? Mike said he asked his son if it was safe to live in Panama. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He convinced me there was no problem. He definitely felt safe.â&#x20AC;? The robbers stole Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pickup truck, which was later found by police.
Derelict buildings face demolition in Nanaimo SPENCER ANDERSON
Nanaimo Daily News A derelict group of buildings near downtown Nanaimo has been given a 60-day demolition order by city council, following a rise in con cerns related to fires and drug use in the properties. Council voted unanimously to issue a 60-day deadline to the owner of the properties, which include the former Harbourside Motel, the Jade Garden restaurant and laundromat, plus an adjacent house, to demolish the buildings or bring them up to standard.
The order comes following a series of complaints from neigh bours of the building, said Randy Churchill, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bylaw, regu lation and security manager. The properties - located at 250 Ter minal Ave., 251 and 255 Mt. Benson Street and 2566 Bryden Street - have been shuttered for years. Although there is now a fence around the properties, the city has gathered evidence that people have broken into the motel and moved in their possessions. Churchill said the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fire department has also twice responded to fires at the site.
The successful candidate will be required to be a member of CUPE Local 118 (Alberni-Clayoquot Unit). The pay is $35.79 per hour based on a 35 hour work week. Benefits are outlined in the Collective Agreement. This is a permanent full time position. A detailed job posting is available on our website at www.acrd.bc.ca

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a risk for BC Hydro workers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Another risk was that he was backfeeding into BC Hydroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grid,â&#x20AC;? said Pley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;BC Hydro had disconnected the wires but those wires were now live from the house side so instead of power coming from the grid to the house, power was going from the house potentially to the grid and that puts BC Hydro workers at risk when you do that. reporter@albernivalleynews. com

Crews stayed on scene until almost 8 a.m. to ensure that the blaze was fully out. According to Pley, residents shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be using generators to power their homes in that way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more common than weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see and hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s several things that can go wrong,â&#x20AC;? he said, carbon monoxide poisoning being the other deadly risk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can poison yourself with carbon monoxide,â&#x20AC;? said Pley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This resident had tried to resolve that by building an exhaust system sticking out of the house.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was just continually becoming a source of risk,â&#x20AC;? said Churchill, adding the city received a grad ual increase in complaints about the property. BC Assessment documents show the proper ties are owned by a firm called Harbourside Motel Inc., care of Richmondbased firm My Brilliant Consulting Ltd. An office repre sentative for the firm said it would forward a request for comment to the owner of the properties. May Sun appeared before council on the ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behalf Monday to ask for six months to demolish the prop erty, adding the company already had a permit to do the work. She said more time was needed given the cost of the work and also said the owner was considering hir ing security to patrol the property. However, council granted a short er extension.

Citizen volunteer scientists needed to collect data on seabirds NORA O’MALLEY
Special to the Westerly Bird Studies Canada (BSC) is recruiting volunteers for two coastal waterbird programs: the BC Coastal Waterbird Survey and the BC Beached Bird Survey. Birders with acute bird identification skills are encouraged to enlist in the Coastal Waterbird Survey, which involves submitting a monthly tally of waterbirds at specific locations. The BC Beached Bird Survey on the other hand, which involves volunteers walking the high tide line of a beach each month and looking for seabird carcasses
that have washed up onshore, is open to any average Joe or Jane beachcomber with science-minded inclinations. “The Beach Bird Survey does not take great skill. People are a bit apprehensive about going because they might not know the I.D. of a lot of birds, but that’s not an issue at all. They can just take a picture of whatever dead bird they find on the beach,” said Dr. David Bradley, BSC BC Program Manager. While the Beach Bird Survey may teeter on gloomy, the data collected from volunteers is clutch to understanding which species of seabirds are most
vulnerable to oil pollution or other causes of mortality such as low food supply, bycatch, and climate change. “If the volunteers come across a bird that has died recently and has not decomposed, we encourage them to collect the carcass with a glove on and then put it in a plastic bag and put it straight in the freezer,” explains Dr. Bradley. “Then if it’s a species we’re interested in or species that we stand a chance of identifying how it died, then we will encourage them to send it in to Canadian Wildlife Services, and we can pay the cost of that shipment,” he said.
BSC currently has over 200 volunteers participating in their programs, but they are hoping to attract at least 50 more by the end of the year. “Some of the areas we’ve identified as being low coverage would be the Central Coast and north of the West Coast of Vancouver Island. It’s very important that we get coverage in the areas from Ucluelet all the way up to Tofino,” said Dr. Bradley. Tofino and Ucluelet both host two Important Bird Areas (IBAs) – the Tofino Mudflats and the Barkley Sound. Every fall and spring, flocks of shorebirds use these habitats as pit stops to refuel on
long migrations. Research conducted by volunteer citizen scientists inevitably contributes with coastal birds conservation and habitat preservation. If you regularly walk a beach and are interested in joining either survey, you are encouraged to visit birdscanada.org for more information or phone the BC Projects Coordinator at: 1-877-349-2473. Participants of the Beached Bird Survey receive survey kits, which include: an identification guide, measurement tool, datasheets, and gloves to avoid contamination while handling dead birds.
An energetic and enterprising local family has brought an iconic local entertainment spot humming back to life – with some help from a gorgeous cedar shingle redo with beautiful burl signage on the outside and a fresh new approach inside. People are now using the word “iconic” to describe Howler’s, which sits in the building of the long-time fixture Smiley’s at 1992 Peninsula Rd., and retains the multiple-activity focus while injecting the menu from Kent and Amie’s former restaurant at Wya Point. This is a great joint for everyone at the table to pile their cell phones up and leave them, to enjoy what would today be considered old-fashioned fun. We’re talking a little bowling alley, billiards and a video arcade. “It really is an iconic place in Ukee, safe place for kids to hang out with 5 pin bowling and arcade games,” said one TripAdvisor reviewer. “Very interesting place … Has a casual, hip, but family friendly feel to the place,” raved another. “We had a great time and lots of fun!” one family reviewed. Food-wise, reviewers have raved about everything from the broccoli salad to the Khanvocado – our favourite, along with the burgers. Their extended hours – 11 a.m. to midnight daily, and 4-midnight on Tuesdays, makes them a hit for folks seeking a late-night bite as well.

Bravo! Tofino kids act out a storybook for French theatre camp NORA O’MALLEY
Special to the Westerly The Clayoquot Sound Community Theatre hosted a belle spectacle this Friday, July 24 as little performers from Tofino’s French Immersion Theatre Camp presented an adaptation of Le gros monstre qui amait trop lire
written by Lili Chartrand and Roge. With instruction from Ghislaine Hamel from Les Productions Baluchon and Denise Aujila from Canadian Parents for French, the young actresses spent the week learning French sentences and sounds and memorizing songs in order to be ready for Friday’s performance.
“It’s a story about a monster that lives in a cave and is very lonely. His pleasure is to scare all the children he sees in the forest,” said Denise Aujila, vice-president of Canadian Parents for French. “One day, a little child is sitting reading a book and is so captivated by the book that she doesn’t hear the
monsters’ first scream. But then she hears the second scream and is so scared that she vanishes,” recounts Aujila. “Among the monsters there is an old dragon wise women. The dragon teaches the monster how to read and eventually he loves it so much that he reads to the others,” she said.
The talented 10-year-old Ivy Jacques played the lead role of Monster. Having grown up in a French Canadian household, the Tofitian had a confident stage presence and was able to help her younger castmates get through the 15-minute production.
Comfort foods are the affordable rule (and the sign slogan) at Ukee Dogs, where funky surf décor and a driftwood garden patio combine with the best parking in Ucluelet – and some of the most comforting food on the West Coast. Slide in for sliders – local favourites pulled pork sliders made with Hertel’s pork, or smoked salmon sliders with lemon dill mayo, bacon and sprouts – have been joined by new seared Albacore tuna sliders. Ukee Dogs does things local and house made, relying on consistently great ingredients. Their natural ethical all-beef gluten-free gourmet hot dogs come in a range of flavor combos. House-baked goodies (check out their breakfast muffin with an egg baked in, or their cinnamon roll that’s a meal on its own) include tempting cookie varieties (so affordable - get a dozen to go, or check out their ice-cream sandwiches, made fresh to order with the cookies of your choice.) You will find house-made soup, burritos and tacos on the menu, and the house-made artisan soda (ask about the daily choices). Coffee options are based on a locally-roasted custom espresso blend (bean there, it’s great in their house cappuccino). Dine out or in to enjoy the great harbour view at 1576 Imperial Lane, or call ahead to go.
