Two men were last seen in Ucluelet on May 16 ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

The disappearance of Daniel Archbald and Ryan Daley has been deemed suspicious and the Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit has taken over the investigation. Archbald, 37, and Daley, 43, were last seen leaving Ucluelet’s inner boat basin on-foot on May 16. They had arrived in Ucluelet on May 13 after a roughly eight-week sailing trip from Panama. Police are asking anyone who may have any information about the two men’s whereabouts to contact the Major Crimes Unit at 250-380-6211 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. “Since being reported missing, Ucluelet RCMP have pursued a number of investigative avenues in an effort to locate them. These efforts included a search of the area they were last seen by the local Search and Rescue team as well as an aerial search. Police have deemed their disappearance suspicious and the investigation has now been turned over to VIIMCU,” said Cpl. Madonna Saunderson through a June 6 news release. “We ask anyone who has any information as to Daniel and Ryan’s whereabouts or anyone who may have seen them or talked to them between May 13 to 16 to call police immediately.” Cobble Hill resident Ben Kilmer, 41, also went missing on May 16. Kilmer’s vehicle was located on Cowichan Road near Duncan. Police say they have found no evidence to suggest the men’s disappearances are linked.

The ride also generates funds for Camp Goodtimes, a weeklong experience for children and families battling cancer. McRae, who lost her father Ron McRae to cancer in November, told the Westerly News the cross-Island journey will be an emotional one. “I’m probably going to cry a lot. I’m still going through the grieving process. To see kids that have shaved heads or have lost their hair from cancer and just seeing families so affected; it’s also fuel to continue riding, even though your legs are sore and it’s pissing rain,” she said.

While this will be McRae’s first Tour de Rock ride, she played a key role in 2017 team-member Const. Marcel Midlane’s fundraising efforts, including taking on a solo-ride in September. “[My Dad] lived all the way in Ontario, so there was only so much I could do and so much time I could spend over there. I felt pretty helpless,” she said. “I knew that Marcel in Ucluelet was doing this Cops for Cancer ride and I was like, ‘Well, Amanda McRae I can’t join the team this year, but I can help him’…So I rode my bike from Tofino to Port Hardy in three days. Just a solo bike ride; me and my bike. I didn’t know what to do, so I just got on my bike and I rode.” McRae has lived in Tofino for nine years and has been a competitive cyclist for the past four. She said she initially got into the sport as motivation to quit smoking. “I had my moments where I would quit smoking for a year and then I would start

again. My dad was battling cancer for three or four years and that was another motivation. It was when my Dad first got diagnosed too. He was a smoker and I was a smoker,” she said. “My brother [Ron Lamoureux] was a hardcore triathlete at the time and I was like, ‘I’m going to do a triathlon.’ You can’t be a triathlete and smoke cigarettes, so that’s what got me into it.” She said she trains yearround putting in up to 20 hours per week. “I’m the weirdo that’s always on my bike anywhere from [Tofino] to Ukee, and Port Alberni,” she laughed. As a member of the Tour de Rock, McRae has been teamed up with two junior riders in Port Alberni who are currently battling cancer. “I get to hear their story and get inspired and get motivated,” she said. “Everyone has been touched by cancer…It’s hard to deal

with and, for me just losing my Dad, to think about knowing a child who is going through this crazy battle, it’s nice to be able to do something.” She said she is currently putting together a host of fundraisers and her primary motivator will be sending as many children to Camp Goodtimes as possible. She said it costs $1,500 to send a child to the camp, which she touted as a hugely valuable experience. “It’s not only for the child but for the family,” she said. Tofino Fire Chief Brent Baker said McRae is a perfect representative for the West Coast. “Amanda is an amazing individual. She goes above and beyond and she’s always looking at taking on extra courses and increasing her knowledge so she can pass that on to others as well. We love people like Amanda over here,” he said. “I wish there were more opportunities for our community to get behind our residents and really support them, cheer them on in doing the amazing things that they’re doing.” Anyone looking to support McRae’s efforts is encouraged to check out her fundraising page at convio.cancer.ca.

A Catalina aircraft that patrolled the West Coast during WW2 will fly over Ucluelet and Tofino on Friday before being displayed at Long Beach Airport.

Aircraft packed with history

Catalina on display at Long Beach Airport this weekend ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

A historic aircraft with fascinating local relevance is flying to the West Coast this weekend. Locals should start looking up around 2:30 p.m. Friday as a WW2 era Catalina aircraft will be circling above Ucluelet and Tofino before landing at Long Beach Airport where a booth will be set up on Friday and Saturday for locals to learn about the aircraft’s storied past. “This old girl actually flew out of there in ‘44 and ‘45,” said Robert Dyck of the Catalina Preservation Society. “It was a long range patrol bomber and they flew out of Ucluelet, Tofino, up and down the Coast looking for submarines and enemy ships.”

The Catalina replaced the famed Royal Canadian Air Force Canso 11007 that remains where it crashed near Radar Hill around 1945 and has become a popular feature for hikers near Tofino to visit. “A lot of people know the story about the one that crashed. The aircraft that we have here actually took over its place up in Coal Harbour. So, actually, a lot of the crew that were in the crash went on as crew in this aircraft,” Dyck said. He said the Catalina was converted into a search and rescue plane immediately after the war and became a water bomber in 1961. It performed various duties across the country until being stored and was flightless when he purchased it in 2010 and got

to work on restoring it and getting it back in the air. “I’ve been working on it ever since; returning it to it’s old looks and trying to educate people on what these old girls did back in those days,” he said. “If you can imagine, if you had a 75 year old car or 75 year old boat, it takes a lot of fiddling. But, like everything else, if you keep it in good shape, it’s quite happy to go flying. The old girl is just beautiful in the air. Once you see this thing with it’s wheels tucked up it goes from an ugly duckling to a swan. It’s an amazing transformation.” He added the plane elicits surprising connections at the various places he displays it. “It’s amazing the feedback we’ve got from people about

the aircraft and the number of people that have come forward that have some connection to the aircraft,” he said. “There was a lot of them built. It was the most prolifically built flying boat ever. There was about 3,450 of them built and there’s probably about a dozen or so that are flyable left in the world.” Dyck added that he’s excited to see the Catalina finally making it’s way back to the West Coast. “This is our first trip to Tofino,” he said. “We’ve been going through a few shows over the last couple of years since we’ve been airworthy and it’s been on the back of our mind to get a trip to Tofino because of the significance of that aircraft to that airport.”

Column

Riding the wave towards a cleaner environment Worlds Oceans Day events were held this past week. Courtenay-Alberni MP Gord Johns participated in a beach cleanup in Parksville. Johns says Vancouver Island is “ground zero” of the ocean plastics crisis. Discussions regarding ocean plastics and marine debris are being noticed elsewhere such as Ottawa, Johns said, and noted it was to be part of the discussions at the G7 Summit this past weekend. But just because the plastics problem is being noticed elsewhere, it doesn’t mean that Island residents are turning a blind eye to the ocean plastics issue. A number of municipalities and communities on the Island such as Parks-

ville, Qualicum Beach, Tofino, Nanaimo and Victoria have been pushing forward with motions on the banning of single-use plastic bags or creating reusable bags for residents. In Tofino and Ucluelet, businesses are collaborating on getting rid of plastic bags and plastic straws with the push for reducing personal plastic consumption among locals gaining significant steam. The Regional District of Nanaimo’s marine litter resolution “passed at almost 95 per cent support” at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities annual conference last week in Halifax, Johns said. The City of Parksville called for a ban of single-use plastic bags in 2017

and surveyed residents online as to their preference. At its regular meeting, March 19, Qualicum Beach council passed first reading of a bylaw that would eventually ban the sale or provision of single-use plastic bags in the town. Now one councillor is hoping to do the same with plastic straws within the Town of Qualicum Beach On the other side of the country, the province of Prince Edward Island became the first in the country to ban businesses handing out plastic bags. The private member’s bill implements an outright ban by 2020. There are also businesses wanting to be good corporate citizens, amid the movement to address marine pollution.

One is IKEA, which announced last week it would eliminate single-use plastic products from its shelves by 2020, including straws, plates, cups, freezer bags, garbage bags and plastic-coated paper plates and cups. Also last week, A&W Canada said it wanted to be the first fast-food chain in North America to eliminate plastic straws, with a plan to stop using them by the end of the year. The significant momentum locally and nationally to regulate use of plastics and the impact they have on our landfills and waterways should be viewed as a positive — and it’s a trend that must continue. - Black Press

Over 500 runners will hit Ucluelet’s pavement and trails this weekend as the West Coast celebrates its long-running Edge-to-Edge event on Sunday. Local and visiting racers will take off on either a 10-kilometre or half-marathon route and the start and finish lines for both distances will be at Ucluelet’s Village Green where about 22 vendors have signed up to bring a special market to the day’s festivities. “[Edge to Edge] showcases our community as well as the top trail on Vancouver Island and one of the top ten trails in B.C.: the Wild Pacific Trail,” said Lara Kemps of the Ucluelet Chamber of Commerce, which organizes the event. “Our town is always known as being very friendly and outgoing and welcoming. Everyone is very pumped to welcome everybody and, this year, we’re looking forward to a great [weather] forecast and a lot of runners.” She added this will likely be the last time the popular race is held during the summer as it is heading to October in 2019 and beyond. She explained the first Edge to Edge was struck 19 years ago to generate economic activity and the push it was designed to create is no longer needed in June. “June is very busy,” she said. “[October] is more in the shoulder season and we all have more availability in our accommodations. So, hopefully, we’ll fill our shoulder season and our volunteers won’t be so stretched time-wise.” She added Sunday’s event will be plastic-free thanks to a partnership with the Surfrider Foundation’s Pacific Rim Chapter. “Our town is looking at going plastic-free and, I think, it’s really important, not just as a community but as the world, to look at our plastic consumption,” Kemps said. She said the chamber hopes to bring the former full-marathon back to Edge to Edge’s offerings when the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve’s 22-kilometre, border-to-border, trail is complete.

A tight-knit group of Grade 12 students are graduating this weekend. They were united by Frisbee, P.E., and drama class, they say. Albeit growing up in a small community had a lot to do with it too. “We’re like a family,” said Finlea Watson. “It ‘s kind of surreal that we’re actually done.”

“It’s kind of surreal that we’re actually done.” – Finlea Watson Watson, whose mom Claire created the wave design featured on the back of the 2018 grad hoodies, is heading to Victoria next year to study business at Camosun College.

Ucluelet Warriors basketball captain, Isiah David, echoed her sentiments. “I’m going to miss being together. I grew up with these guys from day one,” he said. Wrestling champ Lukas Bewick said he will miss this chapter in his life. “Things are only going to be this way this one time,” said Bewick. Most of the graduates are leaving Ucluelet and Tofino, but staying fairly close to home. Continued on A12

Rescued orphan bear cub gaining strength

LAUREN COLLINS lauren.collins@pqbnews.com

The baby bear recently rescued by John Forde and Jennifer Steven near Tofino on May 24 is recovering well at the North Island Wildlife Recovery Cenrtre. “He was starving when he came in. He was nursing off of his dead mom, so we don’t know how long he’d been doing that for. He was pretty tiny when he came here. It took a little bit for him to start trying to take food,” said animal care technician Tawny Molland. “We gradually got to the point where he was wanting the food from the syringe and he was trying to do it on his own and we got him to start taking from a bowl and we were spoon feeding him and all of a sudden he just took to the bowl and now he’s eating on his own.” Molland said it was “absolutely amazing” that Forde was able to get the bear and that it could have gone very differently if Forde and Steven had been a few days later to rescue the bear. “He can’t survive on his own. If it wasn’t for John Forde finding him and actually being able to rescue him, he never would have survived. It was huge that he got him here.”

Although the bear has been at the centre for about two weeks, Molland said, it will be a while yet before he’s released. “He’ll be in here for a while and then we’ll move him into a bigger enclosure,”

she said. “Then we’ll just gradually keep building up his appetite, switching over from liquid foods to solid food. He’ll be here for a while yet. He’ll probably be here for 15 to 18 months.”

After a while, she said, there will be “less and less people; less and less contact because we want him to be a wild bear because we do want him to be released back into the wild.” NIWRA is no stranger to rehabilitating bears to release them back into the wild. There are currently eight other bears in the pre-release enclosure. “What we’re waiting for right now is just the perfect conditions for them to be released back into the wild. Hopefully in the next few months they will be released,” Molland said. The perfect conditions, she said, include the availability of food sources such as the salmon run and berries to get the bears ready for the winter months. While eight bears in pre-release may sound like a large number, NIWRA co-founder Robin Campbell said the centre has previously held as many as 19 bears at one time. He said it was hard rotating the bears through the different enclosures. From that point, he said, the centre had to figure out the maximum number of bears it could keep at one time. He said the pre-release enclosure doesn’t really count, so the centre is able to take more bears into nursing, if needed.

Newlyweds devastated after photos stolen A pair of Nanaimo newlyweds had a beautiful wedding this month, one that should have been picture perfect – except that all their pictures got stolen. New bride Christina Basedow said she was devastated after learning that the camera with all her wedding photos was stolen in Vancouver just four days after her nuptials took place on Vancouver Island. Basedow and Chad Rogers were married June 2 on a beach in Campbell River. “Oh my gosh, the day was so perfect,” Basedow said. “It was super romantic and the wedding was very emotional and very connected. We had all of our family and friends there that we love and everyone was really excited to see us get married.” The photographer, a friend from Ireland, took some 2,000 photos that day. “A lot of emotional moments with family members, and a lot of the candid shots that sort of make those special moments so special,” Basedow said. But on June 6, the camera, lenses and most importantly, the memory card were stolen when someone smashed in the window of a Subaru Crosstrek in a secure parking garage, said Basedow. Surveillance footage was too grainy to even determine the

Man breaks into seniors’ care facility in Nanaimo

“It was super romantic and the wedding was very emotional and very connected.” – Christina Basedow gender of the suspect, let alone assist with identification. “I was devastated when I found out; I burst into tears,” Basedow said. “And I was torn between being really pissed off, and then also having compassion because it’s not like anyone expects to have their car broken into.” She and her husband hurried to Vancouver to visit pawn shops and even walked through the Downtown Eastside, asking around about a Nikon D7000 and lenses, possibly in a tan leather bag. Friends and family have come through with low-res camera photos, and the wedding videographer is creating stills, but Basedow said it’s not the same. “They’re just such special memories,” she said.

A masked man broke entered a seniors’ care facility in Nanaimo in the middle of the night last week. Nanaimo RCMP are asking if members of the public can help identify a suspect who broke into suites while seniors slept at about 4 a.m. on June 8. “The exact location of the care facility and the name of the facility is not being released for privacy and safety reasons,” noted an RCMP press release, adding that the building is located in central Nanaimo. A resident of the care home reported that someone had rummaged through her belongings during the night. Police say it’s unknown exactly what was taken, but a small amount of inexpensive jewelry might have been stolen. “From video surveillance obtained a masked suspect could be seen attempting to enter the building through the front doors. Entry was not gained as the interior doors were locked,” the release noted. “From there

the suspect broke into several vehicles in the parking lot, and then gained access to the suites by climbing through unlocked ground level windows.” The suspect was wearing a dark-coloured hoodie and a balaclava during the incident. His left hand was in a cast and his pinky and ring fingers were wrapped in a bandage. Anyone with information is asked to call Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345 or contact Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-2228477 or submitting a tip online atwww.nanaimocrimestoppers. com. - www.nanaimobulletin.com

As investigators continue to search, they are asking for the public’s assistance to help locate and also remain watchful for her. Moussa is First Nations, about 5-foot-9, 140 pounds and slender with long dark hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a black raincoat, black leggings and white running shoes.

Port Alberni RCMP is requesting the public’s assistance in locating a missing 16-year-old girl. Amina Moussa was last seen June 6 at approximately 11:30 a.m. when she left her residence in a taxi. She was then dropped off and last seen at the 7-11 store on Johnston Road. She had indicated that she was going to stay at a friend’s, but did not advise who the friend was or where they lived.

Island ‘ground zero’ for ocean plastics issue

Courtenay-Alberni MP Gord Johns meets with constituents on World Oceans Day in Parksville LAUREN COLLINS lauren.collins@pqbnews.com

The Courtenay-Alberni MP says Vancouver Island is ‘ground zero’ of the ocean plastics crisis. MP Gord Johns hosted a World Oceans Day at Parksville Community Gord Johns Park beach on June 8 with a theme of issues surrounding

“It’s mind-boggling when you see the amount of plastics that’s on our beaches.” – Gord Johns ocean plastics. Roughly 40 people turned out for a beach clean up that was followed by a discussion with stakeholders and volunteers. The discussion included Johns, Nanaimo-Ladysmith MP Sheila Malcolmson who spoke briefly on her abandoned vessels bill, members of Ocean Legacy,

Communities Protecting our Coast, Tbuck Suzuki, Calyoquot Cleanup, Surfrider Foundation Canada, West Coast Aquatic, Denman Island Marine Stewards, Ucluelet Aquarium and Vancouver Aquarium. While the beach clean up turned up a selection of garbage such as single-use plastics, styrofoam, cigarette butts and more, Johns said the Parksville beach wasn’t as bad as some others he’s seen. “This beach is pretty much clean because of the stewardship of the community,” Johns said.

Vaccine & Appointment Clinic

The theme for the Parksville World Oceans Day event was ocean plastics and the leadership taking place on Vancouver Island to address those issues. “We know how serious it is here on Vancouver Island, especially on the west coast of the Island. It’s mind-boggling when you see the amount of plastics that’s on our beaches.” While a lot of discussions regarding ocean plastics and marine debris are taking place on the Island, Johns said it’s being noticed elsewhere such as Ottawa and was a part of the dis-

cussions at the G7 Summit over the weekend. He also said the Regional District of Nanaimo’s marine litter resolution “passed at almost 95 per cent support” at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities annual conference last week. “That motion mirrors our (national ocean plastics) motion, so it shows again — just like the Silver King — local government with federal leaders, Vancouver Islanders standing in solidarity, saying ‘This is important,’” said Johns, referring to the previous derelict vessels issue in Deep Bay.

HOROSCOPE ARIES Aries, this week seems like a race, but you may be losing steam. With a lot of distance still left to cover, it’s time to conserve your energy and find some assistance. TAURUS Taurus, your imagination is very active lately, so much so that it may make it difficult to concentrate on anything else. Make an effort to get work done in spite of the distractions. GEMINI Gemini, others may misinterpret your enthusiasm for a carefree nature. However, you are actually busy getting the job done — even if you’re having some fun doing it. CANCER It’s possible you may misread someone’s intentions, and it could get you in a bit of hot water, Cancer. Don’t make any assumptions and apologize if you make mistakes. LEO Leo, if your energy levels are waning, find a way to put some hop in your step. Take a break from work if necessary. This is a great way to recharge. VIRGO Virgo, you haven’t yet found your groove at work, but don’t get discouraged because it will happen. Pay attention to others around you and how they act.

LIBRA Even if others think you are ambivalent, you possess a clear picture of what you want and where you are heading, Libra. Don’t let others’ misconceptions sway you. SCORPIO Scorpio, if left to your own devices, you can get your work done quickly. But overcoming distractions may be difficult in the days ahead. Do your best to stay the course. SAGITTARIUS Sagittarius, if you are feeling high strung or nervous, you may just need to take a little time away from a situation to reorient yourself. Come back with a fresh perspective. CAPRICORN Capricorn, don’t put others off by being too serious. Learn how to let loose a little bit this week and your friends will flock to you in no time at all. AQUARIUS Aquarius, you’re normally a people person, but every once in a while you enjoy solitary time to think and avoid crowds. This could be the week for that. PISCES Everything seems to be unfolding on schedule, Pisces. This is advantageous because you don’t have to put in extra effort or sweat the details.

With whitecaps blowing like loose brushstrokes across Tofino’s cobalt-blue harbour outside the window, Main Street Gallery is the ideal space to showcase Mary Patricia Deveau’s dramatic seascapes in acrylic. “Loose” is the word that, for Deveau, encompasses more than her own brushstrokes; it’s her state of mind absorbed in that full-bodied action of painting. “The paintings I end up liking down the road take less effort and come out of me in a loose way,” she says. Like the wistful ‘Summer Has Gone,’ a personal favourite that, she says, “strikes an emotional chord: something that came out without force. Without thinking. I painted this so freely, like a child.” Instead she thinks only about “the wildness in the sky,” translating the ephemeral from a general idea about what she wants to create. “It comes from memory and how I feel. I spend a lot of time on a sailboat and the sky is constantly changing,” she says. “It’s not just going with gut instinct. If I’ve got a preconceived notion in my mind, I take that notion away...It gives me so much joy living in that moment,” she says, “having a conversation with the painting.” Deveau simply reacts and responds in her in-home studio daily, dancing along to ’70s music. “It doesn’t reveal itself until it’s time.” During that period, “when you wonder if it’s time to stop, or not,” she may set a painting aside to fully embrace or repurpose it, lending rich texture as an underpainting. The artist’s ‘happy spot’ is when people experience

that profound connection to those magnetic skies—like the elderly Norwegian lady captivated by a calm sea and stormy grey sky conjuring ‘home’ for her. While Deveau paints “loose,” admiring Monet’s loose work and Joni Mitchell’s gestural painting, she applies colour theory, drawing from nature’s exquisite and ever-changing palette. She is influenced by Colour Field painters Rothko,

Helen Frankenthaler and Richard Diebenkorn, who used colour to provoke an emotional response. When people would “break down and cry” Rothko knew he had tapped into their basic humanity. Describing this art movement’s pull between abstract and figurative, what landscape is and isn’t, Deveau might easily be referencing the chimeric nature of the ocean escalating from “Wind Dance” to “Squall” to “Torment” as your eye flits across the gallery each image a flickering frame in a complex moving picture.

Art and Design, via a sister program at North Island College, allowed Deveau to remain at home in Comox and closer to those wild skies that inspire her. What resonates for gallery owner Dorothy Baert is “art inspired by the natural world and a sense of place and how it is expressed,” she says. “Art that inquires and gives us another way of perceiving what is in our environment.” Baert’s mission is to connect people with the natural world and how we see our place in it. Deveau’s seascapes and sculpture are at Main Street Gallery at Tofino Sea Kayaking until the end of June.
