Woman robbed on Multi-Use Path NORA O’MALLEY nora.omalley@westerlynews.ca
A local Tofino woman was assaulted and robbed on Sunday night, Aug. 19, while walking home on the multi-use path (MUP), Tofino RCMP said. A media release from the Tofino RCMP detachment says the incident occurred between 11:30 p.m. and midnight in the 900 block of Campbell Street. “She was not sexually assaulted,” said Cst. Christopher Lemon. “It sounds like she was walking along the path and she walked passed a [man] and it looked like the [man] turned around and attacked her from behind.” The woman was assaulted, had money stolen from her, and was later found unconscious off of the path by people passing by, say Tofino RCMP. She suffered non-life threatening injuries from the attack. “She’s been released from the hospital and she is recovering,” said Cst. Lemon, adding that the victim couldn’t get a good look at her assailant due to poor lighting on the MUP. “It’s pitch black out there,” Cst. Lemon said. RCMP said the only description provided by the victim due to the poor lighting in the area is: male, approximately six feet tall, average build, shorter dark hair, possibly black [hair], and was wearing a wool poncho style hoody.

A woman has died after being involved in a bicycle accident in Tofino. “I am incredibly saddened to learn about a visitor’s death after a cycling accident while on holiday in Tofino; what a terrible tragedy for her family and friends to endure,” said Tofino mayor Josie Osborne. The accident occurred on Lone Cone Road on the morning of Aug. 5. B.C. Coroners Service spokesperson Barbara McLintock told the Westerly News that the woman was in her 50’s and was visiting the area from out-of-province. The woman was transported to Tofino General Hospital and then to Victoria General Hospital, where she died the following morning, according to McLintock. She said “there was no motor vehicle involved,” nor were any other people involved in the accident. Sgt. Todd Pebernat of the Tofino RCMP said the woman was not wearing a helmet when the accident occurred. “We would like to remind bicyclists to always wear a helmet and obey the rules of the road,” he said adding bicyclists must obey traffic signs and ride on the correct side of the road.
“We would like to remind bicyclists to always wear a helmet and obey the rules of the road.” – Sgt. Todd Pebernat “I’ve seen bicycle helmets save people from serious head injuries…It’s not the ‘be-all and end-all,’ but it’s a very important tool to keep people safe.” He added police are planning an educational campaign around bike helmets as school season begins next month. “I’ve noticed there’s a bit of a culture in Tofino where people don’t seem to wear their helmets and that’s something we want to see change,” he said. Osborne also stressed the importance of bicyclists wearing helmets. “Accidents like these usually bring up the subject of helmets, and while helmets are not a panacea for safer cycling, they hugely reduce the risk of head or brain injuries in serious accidents,” she said. “They are particularly important for children who suffer the majority of serious head injuries from cycling accidents. To me, it’s pretty simple: I love riding my bike and I want to protect my brain, so I choose to wear a helmet.”

Ukee turns down Canadian Princess expansion proposal ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca
The Canadian Princess Resort will take another crack at an expansion proposal after hearing concerns from the community during a special council meeting last week. The resort is proposing a new 50room addition to its 1943 Peninsula Road location that would stand roughly 15 metres high as well as a new sidewalk and extensive landscaping in the area, which sits adjacent to Ucluelet’s inner harbour. The resort currently consists of 46 hotel rooms in three buildings, as well as an office building at the front of the property. The Canadian Princess vessel, which once housed an additional 32 hotel rooms as well as a restaurant and lounge, was removed in 2016. The site is zoned for hotel use and the additional 50 rooms proposed would not have pushed the resort over its allowable density, but the height triggered a public input process for a development variance permit because the maximum allowable height for a building in Ucluelet is 12 metres. The resort also requested a decrease in the amount of required parking spaces from 99 to 92. That process played out during Aug. 21’s special council meeting, where locals expressed vehement concern over both variances, suggesting the height and parking requirements should be enforced. Resident Jens Heyduck said the new building would “stick out like a sore thumb” and dominate Peninsula Road’s harbour view. “It just boggles my mind a little bit,” he said. “It’s not an improvement, it’s going in the exact opposite way. It feels like a sell out and not much more than that. I don’t think we’d be having this discussion and this design proposal if we were in Tofino.” Brent Hohlweg said Ucluelet must keep its “quaint fishing village” feel and not allow a “box building that [tourists] just left Nanaimo and looked at,” to be built in such a prominent location. “Building a 51-foot building as our welcome entrance to basically the core of our economy, which is these

The Canadian Princess Resort had hoped to build this 15-metre, 50-room, addition at 1943 Peninsula Road property, but will instead go back to the drawing board after the community declined to allow the building to be higher than 12 metres. tourists coming here, seems almost ludicrous,” he said. The expansion’s architect Alan Lowe explained the added height was needed to create 50 additional rooms within a narrow building to preserve the view of the harbour from Peninsula Road, rather than creating a lower, 12 metre, building that spanned across the harbour front. Council agreed with the residents’ concerns and unanimously voted to direct their staff to work with the applicant on a new proposal. “I do like the elements that have been used in the construction and the landscaping looks like it’s going to be a great plan but, having said that, the feeling in the room tonight is definitely not 100 per cent in favour of this design. So, I’m thinking, there might be room to improve somewhat,” said Coun. Marilyn McEwen. The expansion’s project manager Kevin Ryu told the Westerly News on Aug. 23 that he appreciated hearing the community’s input and that work on a new design began immediately after the meeting. “We are already working on new drawings right now, exploring different options,” he said adding the resort will likely submit a new proposal that does not include variances on height or parking.
“What I understood from the meeting was that the development permit variance was the problem. So, we are thinking not to ask for any variance and keep everything inside what the current zoning says. Maybe, that way, we can make the council and the community a little more satisfied with our plans.” He added that the resort’s initial plan had been for a shorter, wider, building. “We did have a lower building planned, but our thought was that the lower building would block more view. That’s why we went with a taller building,” he said. Ucluelet’s Manager of Planning Bruce Greig told the Westerly News that if the resort submits a new proposal without asking for the increased height or parking variances, they would not need to go through the same public input process. “The variance triggers a requirement for notification and public input, a development permit without variances does not,” he said. He said a development permit application would be considered by council at an open meeting. “Council should be authorizing that permit if it complies with the guidelines that are adopted in the OCP [Official Community Plan]

and they’re really about the form and character of the development,” he said. “Design is subjective…The guidelines point to a number of elements that the design should incorporate, but ultimately council is the deciding body on whether they are adequately meeting those guidelines.” He said district staff believed the taller building the resort had proposed would have protected Peninsula Road’s views of the small craft harbour. “We were recommending support for that design, which would have been taller, but would have been narrower to keep a wider view corridor,” he said. “And, with the way they had designed the street improvements with the walkway in there, there would be quite a bit that the public would gain both visually and in access on the water front.” He added the applicant had offered a right of way that would have allowed the district to create a public path along the water front. “That’s something that we can’t require, but they were offering that up with this proposal. So we’ll see, if they make a revised proposal, what elements are in there if they’re having to shrink or change the building,” he said.

EDITORIAL
Thatcher Tolstoy and the internet sextortion scam Internet fraudsters always thinking up new scams. Variations on e-mail and telephone scams keep coming our way. A sextortion scam made the rounds with a few people I know recently. I got it too, sent to me by ‘Thatcher Tolstoy’ – I’m pretty confident it’s a nom de plume – who put his creative writing skills to work trying to blackmail me out of $3,000. Most of the time I react to these the way most people do; laugh and delete, but in this case Thatcher had one of my old passwords, which he shared in a ransom note, speckled with spelling and grammatical errors. “I am well aware [my old password] one of your password. Lets get directly to the purpose. You may not know me and you’re most likely wondering why you’re getting this mail? Not one
person has compensated me to investigate you. Let me tell you, I set up a malware on the xxx streaming (sex sites) website and guess what, you visited this site to experience fun (you know what I mean). When you were watching video clips, your web browser started out operating as a Remote Desktop having a key logger which provided me accessibility to your display screen and web camera. after that, my software program collected all of your contacts from your Messenger, social networks, as well as email account. After that I made a double-screen video. First part shows the video you were watching (you’ve got a good taste rofl), and next part shows the recording of your webcam, yeah its u.” Thatcher went on to explain that if I didn’t pay him the money through a bitcoin account within
24 hours he would send aforementioned alleged video to all my e-mail contacts and destroy my life. Being a reporter means I don’t have $3,000 in hush money – Thatcher likes to call it a “donation” – floating around, so it looked like I might have to just suck it up, grow a porn star moustache for my online cinematic debut and beg forgiveness from my wife. He had my old password, after all. We media types don’t panic all that easily, though, and anyway it occurred to me I couldn’t think of anything I’d browsed anyone might get too worked up about, so I flipped Thatcher’s e-mail to the RCMP – something else Thatcher warned me not to do – and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, so at least they have the information on file. Joking aside, plenty of people of all ages fall victim to these criminals, sometimes
losing tens of thousands of dollars in life savings. On a whim I Googled “Thatcher Tolstoy” to see what came up. The search led me to Have I Been Pwned?, a website where users can type in their e-mail addresses to find out how many times their personal information has been compromised by data breaches. Mine turned up four data breaches with Adobe, LinkedIn and two “combo lists” of e-mail addresses and passwords, usually about 10 years old, Thatcher likely got hold of. There are tips online for generating new secure passwords, but the strongest recommendation to maintain personal cybersecurity is to simply change your passwords regularly to stay a step ahead of guys like Thatcher Tolstoy. - Black Press

How about a visitor Tuff City Etiquette kit at the info center and lodging reception, including vacation rentals and air B&Bs as well as clear signage at bulletin/info boards? The kit, available in multiple languages, could include: 1. Wildlife encounter protocols 2. Littering consequence/impact info 3. Traffic safety and parking laws 4. Leave it as you find it rule. 5.

I would totally support fire bans everywhere, it takes just one spark! Theresa Fritz What about an idiot ban on burning gigantic old driftwood? Andrew Crawford
I would support a ban. The number of people burning driftwood and leaving unattended fires is pretty crazy. Réanne Hamel No, I would not support a fire ban on Chesterman. I look forward to roasting hotdogs and marshmallows with my grandson like I did with my kids growing up here. Do we have to give up everything? More education on the negative effect of burning driftwood is needed. I bet a lot of tourists don’t know not to burn driftwood.

Sally Carlson was already having a “banner week” of treasure hunting when she came upon a message in a bottle laying on South Chesterman Beach. The part-time Tofino resident was walking her dogs along the beach on Aug. 25 when she made the discovery and said she was initially angered by the sight. “My dog had had a little potty there and I went over to pick it up and I noticed a bottle,” she said adding she assumed the bottle was washed up littler. “I get pissed when I see stuff like that. I picked it up and I thought ‘I’ll take this and throw it in the garbage on the way home.’” She said she didn’t want to carry the bottle along her walk to Frank Island and back, so she set it down on some rocks to pick up on her way home. “As I walked away, I don’t know why I did, but I turned around and took one last glance and I realized there was a piece of paper stuck in it,” she said. “Then I realized it had a top and I thought, ‘Well, this is silly. Why would somebody carefully screw a top on it and carelessly throw it back in the ocean.’ So, I went back and took a closer look and there was a message in a ziplock bag stuck in the neck of the bottle…Then I noticed there was writing on the bottle that said, ‘Do not break.’” She said she opened the bottle and was delighted to pull out a message. “It said, ‘This bottle was put out on July 29, 2017. Yay someone found my message in a bottle. If you are the lucky finder, put your name, the date, a little bit about you and the place you found it and put it out to sea again. Please do not keep and please put out in same bottle as before,’” Carlson said.“Then there’s another message dated August 2, 2017, that says ‘Found it while kayaking with my son in Victoria B.C. We love the ocean and this idea.”

Part-time Tofino resident Sally Carlson was thrilled to find this message in a bottle on Chesterman Beach.
She believes she is the first person to find the bottle since the last message and added that the original message included contacted information, so she reached out and learned the bottle had been thrown off a sailboat near the San Juan Islands. She said she had never found a message in a bottle before and was delighted to participate in her discovery’s ongoing journey. She said she plans to write her own message to put inside and then her neighbour will toss it back out to sea while tuna fishing next week. “I was really happy. I’ve been finding treasures every single day this week, but this tops it off,” she said. “I’ve found a surf board leash in really good shape, two baseball hats, a beautiful osprey feather, a perfect sand dollar, a dog leash; every time I go out there I find something.” Carlson said she spends roughly six weeks a year in Tofino and always keeps an eye out for treasures during daily walks along the beach with her four dogs.
Osborne elected ICET chair ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca
Tofino mayor Josie Osborne has been elected chair of the Island Coastal Economic Trust. “I’m thrilled to take on this opportunity to serve the ICET region,” Osborne said through an announcement made by ICET on Aug. 24. “I’m a strong supporter of the collaborative approach that ICET takes with local and regional organizations, governments and First Nations to help communities thrive and prosper.” Osborne told the Westerly News she is excited about the opportunities her new position will present. “I wanted the opportunity to bring my governance and leadership skills to this organization that I really believe in and I also knew that it would be a great opportunity for me to learn even more about what’s going on in rural communities around Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast and understand what other communities are doing to prosper and thrive,”
she said. “ICET really is a community driven process for investing in communities…The decisions are made by business leaders and community leaders from the very towns themselves.” Launched by the provincial government in 2006, ICET is an independently governed body that has provided over $50 million towards approximately 180 projects throughout Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast, according to the Trust’s announcement. “These investments have leveraged over $270 million in new investment into the region creating more than 2,500 construction phase jobs and 2,600 long term permanent jobs,” it states. Osborne said ICET funding can help successful applicants gain momentum from other sources. “It’s been my experience that ICET has often been a tipping point for applications that come to us. Icet agreeing to fund part of a program or project shows a level of confidence in a project or program and then other funders jump on board and things start to happen,” she said.

Jeremy Koreski and Willie Mitchell spotted this Leatherback Turtle on a recent fishing trip near Tofino. Less than 135 Leatherbacks have been documented off B.C.’s coast since the 1930s.

Endangered turtle spotted near Tofino Fishing trip yields rare sighting for Tofitians Jeremy Koreski and Willie Mitchell NORA O’MALLEY nora.omalley@westerlynews.ca
Tofino photographer Jeremy Koreski and former Vancouver Canucks defenceman and co-owner of Tofino Resort and Marina, Willie Mitchell, went fishing for some tuna the other day and returned with one tell-all turtle story. The fishing buddies and business colleagues say they spotted an endangered Leatherback Turtle near Loudon Canyon in the Barkley Sound. Koreski managed to snap a photo of the marine creature just before it dove under. “We were probably 30 miles straight out,” said Koreski.
“We kind of spotted it and drove up to it and it was taking a few breaths than it dove down.” – Jeremy Koreski “I didn’t realize that [the turtle] was so rare. I guess the last sighting was two years ago and then the only other sighting was two years before that...I wish we had a little bit more time with the turtle. We, kind, of spotted it and drove up to it and it was taking a few breaths than it dove down.”
This isn’t the first time Koreski and Mitchell have experienced a rare sighting on the water. In the fall of 2017, they claim they saw a salmon shark while cruising around the Clayoquot Canyon. A website dedicated to Leatherbacks in B.C.—www.leatherbacksinbc.org—describes the turtles as some of the biggest reptiles in the world, and have been around since the dawn of dinosaurs. However, there have been less than 135 Leatherbacks documented off the Coast of B.C. since the 1930s. The giant turtles migrate all the way from Indonesia to feed on the jellyfish in North Pacific waters.

They have most often been sighted between June and October when jellyfish populations are likely to be greatest. Threats to the survival of this endangered turtle include: entanglement in fishing gear, collision with boats, and plastic pollution. In a global study of 408 Leatherback Turtles called ‘Leatherback Turtles: The menace of plastic’ by Mrosvosky, autopsy records showed more than 30 per cent had plastics in their intestines. Sea turtles accidentally eat plastic bags because they cannot tell them apart from their jellyfish prey.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 You have to hunker down and work through tasks that hold little interest for you, Cancer. Success comes from tending to all of the details, even those that are less interesting. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Plenty of opportunities to make big changes are on the horizon, Leo. You need to figure out what it is you want to do with yourself and where to make change. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, sit quietly aside and let others talk while you listen. Listening can be a great way to learn about others as well as yourself. Use this time wisely.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, indecisiveness may cost you in the days ahead. Try to come to a decision on an important situation so you can begin moving forward once again. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Sometimes you don’t see the purpose behind certain actions, Scorpio. Don’t hesitate to ask questions to clear things up. Forge ahead and things will become clearer. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sooner or later, if you try different things you are bound to stumble on the right course of action, Sagittarius. It just may take longer than you initially expected. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Don’t worry if you cannot get your act together just yet, Capricorn. You will find your groove soon enough and everything will ultimately fall in place. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Some things can’t be avoided forever, Aquarius. If you feel like you are running away from problems or things you don’t like, you may need to confront them. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Funny things happen when you least expect them, Pisces. Just when you may have thought a situation was dire, some fun will change your opinion.

JOHN CROZIER
February 5, 1940 - August 25, 2018
A father, grandfather, great-grandfather, friend, husband, curmudgeon. John died of pneumonia in Tofino General Hospital after a brief illness. A time and place for a gathering of his friends will be announced later. ~ THANK YOU ~ A heartfelt thank you to all of the staff at Tofino General Hospital. They took good care of John on numerous emergency occasions in the past few years, but their competent and compassionate care during his recent and final visit there showed a standard of excellence we are blessed to have available here. You all helped John and I be comfortable in his last days. Thank you! - Laurie Crozier
