Volunteers looking for missing Ahousaht man ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca
The search for a missing Ahousaht man continued on Monday. Over 70 volunteers spent the day searching on and around Bartlett Island, where well known Ahousaht basketball player and coach Travis Thomas had been camping as part of a spiritual healing journey when he was reported missing on Aug. 9. Alec Dick is leading the search from Ahousaht’s Emergency Operations Centre and told the Westerly News on Monday afternoon that Bartlett Island is often used for spiritual healing journeys, which involve isolation. “It’s somewhere they go, just to clear out their system,” Dick said. “He was fasting first and then getting into his cultural world, spiritually…That’s what they do when they go on that Island. They’re in isolation by themselves.” There are no permanent residents on Bartlett Island, which is roughly 30 minutes by boat from Ahousaht, and Thomas would not have had access to a vessel while isolated there, according to Dick. “Once they’re put there, they stay there until they’re ready to come home. They don’t have any transportation,” he said. “Every now and then, someone would go out and check on them to make sure they’ve got water and food and the necessities to take them through.” Continued on A3

Wichito Marine Services acquired another barge this summer for an undisclosed amount. The purchase brings the Tofino-based tug and barge company’s fleet to five barges total. “It’s gonna go to work for aquaculture,” said Wichito’s owner Steve Bernard. Wichito’s past owner, Ed Hudson, came out of retirement to sell Bernard the old oil barge he bought on spec from its competitor. “I don’t sit around and smoke an old clay pipe,” Hudson told the Westerly News. Hudson, a longtime Ucluelet resident with over 60 years experience in the tugging industry,

bought the old barge with his business partner, Nancy Van Heest. “I bought an old tug, too,” Hudson said. He hired a local crew, including Brandea Picketts and Brenda Chaplin, to repair it, paint it, and reconstruct parts of it. Chaplin said it took them at least two months to repair the tugboat. “I can’t even imagine how many hours it took,” she said. “It took a lot of blood, sweat, and tears,” Picketts adds. Bernard praised Hudson for restoring the old barge. “He’s good at seeing value in infrastructure and upgrading it.”

Tofino driving for change in transportation methods
ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca
Tofino hopes to coax its residents and tourists out of private vehicles and into alternative modes of t ra n s p o rtation, but first needs to create more attractive alternatives Aaron Rodgers for people to shift into. The district received $120,000 from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities Climate
Innovation Program last week to create a Multi-Modal Transportation Plan that will shape a 10-20 year strategic vision aimed to decrease the number of commuters using private vehicles, according to an announcement made by Tofino on Thursday. The release suggests the plan will be particularly important during the summer months and will include possible transit expansions as well as promote a shift towards active transportation. “The District hopes that by investing in the development of a Multi-Modal Transportation Plan at the same time as a major rewrite of the Official Community
Plan, land-use and transportation systems can be more efficiently aligned allowing the District to make significant headway in reducing greenhouse gas emissions,” Tofino’s manager of community sustainability Aaron Rodgers said through the announcement. “The MMTP is expected to be transformative and push the boundaries in terms of what a small community can accomplish in terms of active transportation.” Rodgers told the Westerly News that while the funding will not directly create any infrastructure, the plan it produces will “influence future spending” and help the dis-
trict shape potential infrastructure projects. “The development of the plan won’t build us anything, but it will give us some direction over the next 20 years about how to shift, where we can, people from vehicles to other modes of transportation,” he said. “It is not just about, ‘Hey, where do we want to put sidewalks? Or, ‘Hey, where do we want to extend the Multi-Use Path?’ It’s about how do we make decisions now, on a broad community level.” He added that having a clear strategy and specific projects identified will help the district be successful in future grant applications.
Search continues for missing Travis Thomas From A1 Dick said one other person was camping on the Island when Thomas disappeared, but the two likely would not have interacted. “They were never together. They try to keep them in their own camp, so to speak,” he said. He added that Thomas is a wellliked and important member of the Ahousaht First Nation. “The thing about Travis is he touched many, many hearts in the Ahousaht community. Not only
“He was an excellent person to be around.” – Alec Dick
because of him playing basketball, but also him being a coach and a trainer to the younger generation,” he said. “He’d go out of his way to train the future basketball players of
Ahousaht. That was his way of giving back to the community what they gave him. He’d go out there and train the next generations…He was also a loving person throughout the community. He was an excellent person to be around.” He added the community remains hopeful that Thomas will be found. “There’s a saying here in Ahousaht, ‘Never give up, there’s always hope.’ And, we live by that, especially in our traditional cultural
beliefs. We all believe in our Creator and we know that we have to hope that he may be out there.” Anyone willing to assist the search effort should contact Ahousaht’s Emergency Operations Centre at 250-670-9566. Thomas is the second Ahousaht man to go missing this summer. Richard Amos has not been seen since heading out to fish in a canoe on July 22. Ahousaht stood down its search for Amos on July 30.

B.C. VIEWS
Private health care crackdown touches a nerve It seems many people are tired of waiting in pain while Canada maintains its socialist vision in the face of a surging senior population, rapid advances in medical technology and the collapse of the family doctor model. Today’s medical school graduates are reluctant to set up an office and plug into a pay-per-visit system where patients must be run through quickly in order to cover the overhead. Some doctors put up signs warning patients to discuss only one problem per visit, the very opposite of holistic health care. Some doctors take shifts at a walk-in clinic to avoid the 365-day demands of a family practice, in a society where people are taught that the government must solve all problems. The annual rush of influenza-infected people into our overcrowded emergency rooms is but one example.
“As a retired family doctor, I despair expenditure on health care. at anything changing for many more The common feature in the top years,” a Vancouver Island reader 20 is a mix of public and privately writes. “I really fear for my grandfunded care. Here is how now-Health children as the tsunami of grey-haired Minister Adrian Dix put his posiCanadians overwhelms the resourction to me 10 years ago: “What we do here in Canada, it seems to me, es that our government is willing to is we combine social justice and adcommit.” Others cling to the old U.S. comministrative efficiency.” Regarding Tom Fletcher parison. “Tom, why don’t you do Caefficiency, see list above. And “social nadians a favour and move to Trump justice” is NDP code for sticking it to territory,” advises another reader. Fortunately, not the rich, or pretending to. Dix hasn’t changed, but the everyone is trapped in this blind alley. Several readers world has. One angry reader informs me that there is pointed to the World Health Organization’s ranking of a Vancouver hospital that posts the cost of emergency national health systems, which currently has Canada visits. Somehow this negates my argument that our in 30th place. The good news is we are ahead of the system doesn’t know its costs, because Canada is U.S., which is number 37 despite a vastly greater total one of the last countries in the world that still funds
hospitals in a single block payment. Ottawa enforces this system, with Dix its enthusiastic cop. Extra-billing audits are underway at six private clinics, with the total amounts to be deducted from federal transfer payments to B.C., and fines plus repayment to be imposed starting this fall. All essential service must be paid by the B.C. Medical Services Plan, soon to be funded by a job-killing payroll tax. The tide may be changing. Seeing the federal-provincial legal machine stretching out Vancouver surgeon Brian Day’s case to extend a 2005 Quebec win to B.C., a judge adjourned to allow Day to fundraise. As Beverley McLachlin, now retired as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, wrote in the Quebec decision: “Access to a waiting list is not access to health care.” - Tom Fletcher is a columnist for Black Press

Avoiding dehydration takes on special importance during summer
D
ehydration happens when body water is lower than it should be. Considering we are 60 per cent water, staying hydrated is important to organs and body functions. The purpose of body water is to stabilize our body temperature, carry waste products to the kidneys and maintain the blood volume at the level needed for pumping the heart. When we lose more water than we drink the sodium in our blood becomes concentrated causing confusion and constipation. The body responds by holding on to water which concentrates the urine (makes it darker in color) leading to bladder infections. As we get older this protective mechanism to conserve water by reducing urine declines along with a loss of the thirst sensation causing an increased risk for dehydration. Tracy Older people may forget to drink fluids as they lose their sensation of thirst. Thirst is our hydration danger alarm; by the time we feel thirsty we are already dehydrated. To monitor your hydration watch the color of your urine, it should always be pale yellow and if not then drink more water. Taking vitamin C and B vitamins will make the urine look florescent yellow, this is not dehydration just your body clearing out excess vitamins. Sometimes thirst is disguised as a craving for juicy foods such as melons and ice cream.
To test your cravings have a glass of water and wait 15 minutes to see if the craving subsides, if so drink water rather than eat. Plain water is best as sugar is dehydrating. It is easy to become dehydrated in the hot summer months, during illness or while exercising. To prevent dehydration consume two glasses of water in the morning, two glasses between breakfast and lunch and another two between lunch and supper. You may find that as you consume more water you eat less food because part of feeling hunger is dehydration. On days that you exercise or spend time outdoors in the heat you will need more than 6 glasses of water. Most people find it difficult to drink water so make it more enticing by adding a bit of juice or slices Lister of fruit. If you feel a bladder infection starting flush out the bladder with extra water. If you are prone to bladder infections try unsweetened cranberry products as cranberries keep the bacteria from adhering to the bladder wall so they can be flushed out with the fluids. Tracy Lister is currently a doctoral student in clinical nutrition at Maryland University of Integrative Health and is a clinical dietitian, residing in Ucluelet, with 25 years experiencecovering most areas of dietetics.

How apropos indeed, especially for our local Surfrider chapter having finally, after years of working nomadically out of living rooms and coffee shops, put down roots in the Ecolodge. “You’re all a part of this,” said chapter manager Lilly Woodybury at a gathering held on Friday to celebrate the occasion. “Thank you for helping us come this far and reach this milestone. It’s really exciting. We

are just going to continue to grow and make Clayoquot Sound, Barkley Sound, and the entire Pacific Rim a leader in environmentalism,” she said before snipping a kelp ribbon to officially open the new office space. The environmental non-profit is sharing the space with the Raincoast Education Society and Strawberry Isle Marine Research Society. Past-chair and Surfrider Canada liaison
Michelle Hall said the Ecolodge will be an environmental hub for the region. “We have our own separate office, but we all want to share our resources and knowledge,” she said. “I definitely see it as a doors always open space where people can drop-in and give ideas. We have this vision of a drop-in ideas box if we’re not around, so people can leave ideas.” Hall made a point of thanking the owner of the Tofino Botanical Gardens and Ecolodge, George Patterson. “He has faith in us. I think he’s really excited too that this site has become a hub for environmental organizations. I think that he’s really supportive of that.”

Avid surfer and Tofino resort owner Jason Gordon and wife Jeanne Gordon stopped by Friday’s gathering. Last year on International Surf Day, Gordon made a donation to the organization after a brief conversation with a volunteer at North Chesterman Beach. “I had just come in from a surf,” Gordon recalls. “[Surfrider] had their little tent set-up and I was chatting with a young volunteer and liked it. So, I went to my truck, wrote a cheque, and just quietly gave it to him.” Hall said the non-profit earmarked Gordon’s contribution for a tangible office space. “We kept that money in the bank and it’s paid for a year’s rent here,” she said.

Four-year old recovers after cougar attack LAURA BAZIUK Black Press
A four-year-old child was taken to hospital on Sunday after being attacked by a cougar near Fernie. The BC Conservation Officer Service said the child, whose gender is not known, was attacked while the family was fishing at Lower Morrissey Creek around 1 p.m. The parents were able to fight off the animal and rush the child to hospital, after which the child was released. Conservation officers sent out dogs to locate the animal, but had not found it as of Monday afternoon.

FARM TECHNICIAN Tofino-based Creative Salmon - Canada’s first producer of certified organic farm-raised salmon - wants to hear from people interested in joining the team as a Farm Technician. Starting wage is $18.00, increasing to $18.50 after 6 months. Company paid benefits package after 3 months. Résumés can be sent to: hr@creativesalmon.com Application forms are also available on our website. A cover letter is mandatory. Thanks to all applicants for their interest, but only qualified candidates will be contacted. This is an ongoing recruitment; applications are always welcome and are kept on file for three months.
Pamela Jean McIntosh (nee Woods) was born September 24, 1944 in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa. She died peacefully in Tofino Hospital with her beloved husband David by her side on the morning of August 1, 2018, of mesothelioma cancer. Pam leaves behind her husband David McIntosh, daughters Lisa (Gregory Sundstrom), Sarah (Tom Rahme), Gwyneth (Zak Bougraine), five loving grandchildren (Nikolai, Sasha, Liam, Ethan, Rayyan), and her brother Michael Woods (Donna Woods). Pam moved from South Africa to Brentwood Bay, BC with her brother and parents in 1950. After her school and university years in the Victoria area, she moved to Ucluelet with husband David in 1968, intending to stay in a teaching position at the local school for one year, but fell in love with the natural beauty and sense of community of the west coast, and never left. In recent months while she was ill, friends and families routinely referred to her strength, compassion, generosity, humility and integrity. She was a fierce defender of principles of justice and equality, and consistently worked to instill these values in her daughters. She was a dedicated member in a number of local community organizations, including the Pacific Rim Arts Society, Seaview Seniors Residence, and St. Aidan’s Church. Pam was also a beloved teacher and librarian for over three decades at Ucluelet Elementary School, teaching several generations of children in the community. Pam was also a lifelong learner. She was always ready to read a book on a new topic, try a new recipe, or to pick up a new craft like quilting, scrapbooking, or playing an instrument. She was physically active and especially enjoyed activities with friends, such as the “CROCS” walking group, swimming, tai chi, and qi gong classes. More privately, Pam loved to laugh and make silly jokes and was always game to “cut up a rug” with her family. Pam also loved listening to her daughters singing together and adored music of many kinds, ranging from classical orchestral and chamber music, to Elton John and Rod Stewart. Singing in the Ucluelet and Tofino Choir was one of the activities that made her feel better long into her illness. Although Pam faced many illnesses and challenges in her lifetime, she did so with calm fortitude. We miss her intensely. In lieu of flowers, donations may be given to the Tofino Hospital Society in recognition of the generosity and care from friends and the medical staff of the west coast. An open house to remember Pam will be held at the McIntosh residence on August 25, from 1:00 to 5:00. A small memorial service will be held at St. Stephens Church, Saanich, on September 22.
