By Kathy OrsquoReilly-TaylorEditorDr David Suzuki received a
standing ovation after his speech at the UrsquoGwamalis Hall in Fort Rupert June 5
The stop in Port Hardy was one of 12 Suzuki made along BCrsquos coast this month to hear from coastal resi-dents about the challenges facing their community and BCrsquos coastal waters along with their hopes for the future
There were a variety of ways for people to express their opin-ions which included jotting them down on a postcard writing them on a board or giving a video or oral message
The Foundation hopes to share the ideas raised at the meetings with a larger audience after the tour
The evening began with a film about climate change in BC by Ian Mauro an award-winning commu-nity-based researcher and filmmak-er The David Suzuki Foundation has supported Mauro in document-ing climate changersquos impacts on the West Coast Those in attendance were able to watch a 30-minute sneak preview of the film
After the film and the opportunity for people to voice their opinions Suzuki took to the stage
ldquoIrsquom here to speak to you as a Canadian citizenrdquo he said explain-ing that three years ago he stepped down as chair of the David Suzuki Foundation ldquoso I could speak freely speak as a grandfather and as an elderrdquo
Some scientists are predicting that by the year 2100 over 90 per cent of humanity will be gone
Suzuki is more optimisticldquoI believe that what we do or do
not do may very well determine if we as a species survive until the end of the centuryrdquo Suzuki said
ldquoWe donrsquot know enough to say itrsquos too laterdquo
Suzuki referenced the sockeye
salmon run in 2009 where barely a million fish made the journey back to their spawning grounds The next year was the biggest run in 100 years
ldquoMy hope is that Nature has (a
few) tricks up her sleeverdquo he saidSuzuki discussed how 100000
years ago Canada as a country did not exist and was in fact covered in a sheet of ice 150000 years ago humans appeared on the planet in
AfricaldquoThat was our birthplace and our
homerdquo he said

ldquoContinued from Page 1We began to move We were an invasive
species We wiped out the flightless birds We had no idea how to take what you need without destroyingrdquo Suzuki said
ldquoEverywhere we went we made a lot of mistakesrdquo
You can follow humansrsquo path across the globe by the wave of extinction
Humans have had unprecedented power and impact on the earth In a single genera-tion the population on the planet has tripled to seven billion
ldquoWe have a big ecological footprint We are the most numerous mammal on Earthrdquo
Since World War II the worldrsquos econo-my is based on consumption and focused on wants rather than necessities
In order to meet this need ldquowe are chang-ing the biological physical and chemical properties of the planet We are undermin-ing the very thing that keeps us aliverdquo
Suzuki said partnership with First Nations is critical because of the value system they place on the land
ldquoWersquove got to work togetherrdquo he saidWhile humans are a very adaptive spe-
cies ldquowe are still confined to the biosphererdquo and have to live within the laws of nature
ldquoThere is a carrying capacity for the biosphere for our species We are using what should be our childrenrsquos and grand-childrenrsquos legacyrdquo
At the end of the day Suzuki said humans are animals If we donrsquot have air for three minutes we are dead If we
donrsquot have water for four to six days wersquore dead If we go three to six weeks without food wersquore dead That is why taking care of those things is vital ldquoAs long as we are dealing in the realm of economics we are doomed We are the major problem our inventions are the major problemrdquo
In order for change to occur there has to be political will Towards this end the David Suzuki Foundation has created the Blue Dot Movement aimed at enshrining in the Constitution every Canadianrsquos right
to live in a healthy environment ldquoWe need seven provinces representing
50 per cent of the population supporting this notionrdquo in order to amend the constitu-tion Suzuki said To date 56 communities have come on board representing five million Canadians Suzuki encouraged the crowd to speak to their political representa-tives about joining the movement
ldquoThe Blue Dot Movement will get us talking about the issues as they should be discussedrdquo

Hannah Griffin Reporter Orcafest 2015 has become a reality Two of the festival
organizers Ashley Tapp and Jilly Laviolette were del-egates at the Town of Port McNeill council meeting on June 1 requesting $5000 for the Aug 15 event and shar-ing their vision for the festival that until recently was in danger of not happening
Mayor Shirley Ackland told Tapp and Laviolette that a decision to grant funding would not be made at the meet-ing but that Council would decide by June 15
Tapp and Laviolette said that their group of volunteers plans to move away from allocating a large portion of festival funds towards a Bounce-A-Rama an expense that together with other inflatables cost $3500 in 2014 and instead want to include fun active games that encourage
families to spend more time downtown The pair said that there has been a lot of interest from
other groups and a great deal of support and help from additional volunteers They said that the next step will be seeking out sponsors
In May the Port McNeill Chamber of Commerce announced that it would be unable to organize OrcaFest 2015 due to funding cuts and resources being directed to business community restructuring
A group of community members banded together and spearheaded making the event happen
ldquoIrsquod like to commend your energy and enthusiasmrdquo Councillor Jay Dixon told Tapp and Laviolette
The delegates also explained that they recognize the importance of organizing and delegating tasks
ldquoIf we try to take it all on wersquore going to sink our shiprdquo they said
In a May 25 email to council Tapp and Laviolette also expressed their grouprsquos interest in becoming a new community association to promote and host events and festivals
Mayor Ackland suggested the committee hold off on becoming an association at the moment a move that requires significant paperwork and function with an already-established association ldquoAs Council we are here to support what you want to do in the communityrdquo said Ackland

OrcaFest organizers request funds
By Kathy OrsquoReilly-TaylorEditorLocal dogs may soon have a new
place to stay when mom and dad are away
At its regular meeting May 26 District of Port Hardy Council gave first and second readings to a change to its Zoning Bylaw that would allow a kennel to be operated on Bronze Road (on the way to Storeyrsquos Beach)
Currently the property located in the Tacan Industrial Park is zoned Light Industrial
Dylan and Kristy Shaw who
own and operate Islandrsquos Edge Contracting Ltd are in the pro-cess of finalizing the purchase of property in the industrial park and would like to be able to house their contracting business a caretakerrsquos dwelling and in the future a dog kennel operation
The Shaws asked that the zoning be revised to allow a kennel as a permitted use
Rather than amend the existing applicable Light Industrial zone administration recommended that the property be considered for a new
zoning category - Comprehensive Development 6 which would permit all of the existing uses of the Light Industrial zone as well as the addi-tional use of an animal kennel
This approach would ensure that kennels are not permitted outright on other properties that are included in the Light Industrial zone which are scattered throughout the District without first undergoing a review as to location and potential impact
A public hearing will be held on June 23 at 630 pm in council chambers

This report marks the end of the spring session in the Legislature The session left the perception it had been driven by a government bereft of ideas but desperate to stay in con-trol The last few days of debate in the Legislature are a microcosm of the manipulation of the parliamentary system by the BC Liberals
An example of the BC Liberalrsquos manipulation of the system for their own ends was the discussion around the Government Information Act The first iteration it was so badly drafted that the government itself tabled pages of amendments to be debated at the committee stage Even the title of the bill was amended to the Information Management Act We were opposed to the Act ndash which allows for an increasingly oral approach in government business in other words leaving no traceable records The legislation does not mandate a duty for the government to keep written records which means it is impossible to trace information We had seven amendments of our own which were defeated In the end the committee stage during which all these changes were introduced and debated and the bill supposedly analyzed lasted a mere 50 minutes
We spent a couple of Question Periods asking about need-ed changes to the system for children in government care who ldquoage outrdquo at 19 leaving them on their own with no family or other supports This came into shocking perspective when a young woman who had been in government care nearly her whole life who had moved 50 times and who had been abused killed herself after she left care Neither the Premier nor the minister responsible would commit to making any changes to prevent such cases happening again
The debates on bills finished early and the final two days were given over to the budget estimates of the office of the Premier This seems like a fruitless exercise as the Premier uses every opportunity either to spin or simply avoid answer-
ing For example when John Horgan the leader of the opposition asked about why she did not con-firm George Abbott as head of the Treaty Commission she started to talk about her ldquoaspirational goalsrdquo on LNG and job creation He asked that direct question four times and never got an answer
I was able to recognize School District 84rsquos Aboriginal Education Enhancement Agreement in the Legislature It was an honour to attend the event in Zeballos and to share with other MLAs the Districtrsquos achievement
I have been appointed to the Special Committee to Appoint a Merit Commissioner which will entail some extra work back in Victoria The Merit Commissionerrsquos job is to ensure that all public service appointments are based on ability read-ing some of the reports from previous years it is clear this was not always the case
We are not sure when the Legislature will resume sitting We are supposed to have a session in the fall for two months which might happen The government has indicated it wants to move on some legislation to speed up the sell-off of LNG to foreign companies
With the summer recess I will be busy both in the constitu-ency and through my critic portfolio working on ways to try to improve our transportation infrastructure and make BC Ferries work for us I can always be reached by email Clairetrevenamlalegbcca by phone in Campbell River on 250 287 5100 in Port Hardy on 250 949 9473 or 1 866 387 5100 toll free Feel free to friend me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter clairetrevena

RCMP lawsuit in courtWomen who say they were harassed and discrimi-
nated against during their service with the RCMP are in BC Supreme Court this week attempting to certify a class action lawsuit against the force
The certification hearing began Monday and the proposed class action would include 362 current and former officers and civilian employees across the country
The case was launched in 2012 by Janet Merlo a 19-year officer with the Nanaimo RCMP who was among the first officers to go public with allegations
Lawyer David Klein said the common thread among the complainants is harassment bullying and discrim-ination over an extended period of time
More women would be able to join the case if a judge agrees there was a systemic problem and certi-fies the class action
New election for doctorsA new election has been ordered for the presidency
of Doctors of BC after a recount determined the first vote ended in a tie
Dr Brian Day a leading proponent of more private health care had been declared the winner last week by a single vote
Officials at Doctors of BC (formerly the BC Medical Association) said the initial tally failed to count one vote for Dayrsquos challenger Dr Alan Ruddiman
The run-off vote between the two takes place from June 5 to 18
BC Health Minister Terry Lake said last week he was unsure whether he could meet with Day as presi-dent of the organization because the government is in a court battle with Dayrsquos Cambie Surgical Centre over whether the federal ban on doctors privately billing patients violates the Charter of Rights and Freedoms
Site aids youth lsquoaging outrsquoThe province has unveiled a new website designed
to help teens in foster care prepare to prepare for life without government support when they turn 19 and ldquoage outrdquo of care
The site agedoutcom was designed by former foster teens to connect with vulnerable youth and showcases services and supports to help make the transition
It includes videos of former youth in care discuss-ing real world challenges and gaming ldquoquestsrdquo where youth earn rewards by completing challenges like renting an apartment getting a bank account prepar-ing for a job interview or dealing with an abusive relationship
ldquoHow do I get a jobrdquo ldquoWhere am I going to liverdquo These are the types of questions we all faced when we became adultsrdquo Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux said ldquoBut for those in the care in the ministry the transition can be much more challengingrdquo
About 700 young people age out of government care each year

Dear EditorThe Village of Port Alice is indeed one of the most beau-
tiful places on earth It was nice to read Debra Lynnrsquos letter of appreciation
about our lovely community in the May 28th edition of the Gazette
The North Island as a whole is a region blessed with natural beauty rich in First Nationsrsquo culture and is one of the best places on earth to explore and enjoy the wilder-ness by land lake river or sea
Our region is also home to a busy forestry industry which provides us with jobs and gives us access to a vast network of back country recreational sites
The Neucel Specialty Cellulose Pulp Mill in Port Alice
is part of the forestry industry and has helped sustain fami-lies and community services for generations
Itrsquos true that the mill is on a curtailment but it is not shut down as was stated in Debrarsquos letter
Most of the millrsquos workforce is currently laid off and therersquos no question that this is a tough time for Port Alice and for Neucel employees throughout our North Island communities But we look forward to seeing the mill get back up and running in 2016
And yes we are still the Gateway to the Wild West Coast - come and visit Port Alice anytime
Yours truly Mayor Jan Allen

Gazette staffMalcolm Island
has won an award for Excellence in the RuralSmall Town Planning category from the Canadian Institute of Planners
The island with a population of 613 per-manent residents and 125 seasonal ones collaborated with EcoPlan a Vancouver-based urban plan-ning firm on a proj-ect named Growing Malcolm Island
The project was born out of conversa-tions among a group of residents more than three years ago about interest in community and economy devel-
opment according to the project website
The motivation for these discussions was growing concern over both diminishing pop-ulation and decreasing business on Malcolm Island
The first meeting on April 5 2012 led to four more all well attended
This project is unique in that it was initiated led and implemented by the community a com-munity that exists without strong local governance
The Canadian Institute of Planners noticed the grassroots approach to bringing
citizens together to help support the local economy and award-ed the distinction to Malcolm Island
Previous winners in the RuralSmall Town category are Maple Creek Saskatchewan (2014) Trinity Newfoundland and Labrador (2013) Orillia Ontario (2013) and the District of Peachland British Columbia (2012)

RDMW Knot plans continueBy Hannah GriffinReporterThe invasive plant species knot-
weed is growing out of control in the North Island The Regional District of Mount Waddington (RDMW) is in the process of developing a Knotweed Eradication Program Pat English RDMW manager of eco-nomic development says that the district is applying for funding from the Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovationrsquos Job Creation Partnership and is also partner-ing with the District of Port Hardy the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure BC Hydro Western Forest Products and the Town of Port McNeill English explains that there is knotweed in many areas of the region with the highest concentration likely in Coal Harbour with Port Hardy also heavily affected
Knotweed spreads rapidly through root systems and can be detrimental to biodiversity and increase the risk of soil erosion ldquoThe need for the program is to address the potential liability if knotweed gets into the water and sewage systemsrdquo English says adding that it can damage this infrastructure
English says that there are two methods for eradicating knotweed One is to inject a pesticide directly into the roots which kills the root system and the other is to cut it back over the course of a few years eventually killing it off He explains that discussion so far has proposed
Port McNeill as a training ground for crews as there are only four to five outcroppings there and the issue is not as serious as in other areas
At the June 1 Town of Port McNeill council meeting a May 13 letter was discussed from English and Patrick Donaghy RDMWrsquos manager of oper-ations
They asked for a letter of support from Port McNeill to include in their funding application
Councillor Graham MacDonald was against the idea of training occur-ring in Port McNeill ldquoTheyrsquore going to come here and theyrsquore going to use chemicals and Irsquom dead against itrdquo he said adding that he feels focus should be on eradicating knotweed in Coal Harbour
English says that it is important to remember that the pesticides used in the eradication program are all licensed and permitted and will be administered by crews qualified by the province Crews would be tar-geting outbreaks on municipal prop-erty or rights of way where munici-pal infrastructure goes There would only be work done on private land if permission had previously been obtained
Mayor Shirley Ackland suggested asking for more information on the program and how it would affect Port McNeill including specific plans to deal with the knotweed and if and what kinds of chemicals would be used in the process The issue was tabled until the June 15 meeting

The Ministry of Forests Lands and Natural Resource Operations is considering establishing up to eight new Biodiversity Mining and Tourism Areas (BMTAs) under the Environment and Land Use Act For King Island the ministry is looking at the possibility of establishing a conservancy under the Park Act instead of a BMTA These areas would comprise approximately 295000 hectares of Crown land
The ministry is also proposing to cancel the 2007 South Central Coast Order and Central and North Coast Order and all their amendments (2009 and 2013) and replace these with the proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest land use objectives established by legal order pursuant to Section 934 of the Land Act and for the purposes of the Forest and Range Practices Act The proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest Order sets forest management requirements within the 64 million hectares of the Great Bear Rainforest (see schedule A in the proposed Order) The proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest Order addresses First Nations cultural heritage resources freshwater ecosystems and habitats landscape and stand level biodiversity and bear habitat Together the proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest Order and potential BMTAsconservancy will meet the goals of reserving 70 of historic old growth forests with some minor exceptions while maintaining a viable forest industry in the Great Bear Rainforest
In areas designated as BMTAs commercial logging and hydro-electric power generation linked to the power grid would be prohibited other resource activities and land uses would remain subject to existing legal requirements The designations would only apply to provincial Crown land
Areas designated as conservancies explicitly recognize the importance of the area to First Nations for social ceremonial and cultural uses Conservancies provide for a wider range of low impact compatible economic opportunities than Class A parks however commercial logging mining and hydroelectric power generation other than local run-of-the-river projects are prohibited The designation would only apply to provincial Crown land
The public is invited to comment on the proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest order and potential BMTAsconservancy June 11 2015 to August 10 2015
Copies of the proposed order and associated maps and maps of the potential BMTAsconservancy are available online at httpswwwforgovbccaTASBSLRPGBR_BMTA_LUORhtml

dealt another blowThe Neucel Specialty
Cellulose mill in Port Alice will be closed lon-
ger than the six months previously announced The closure which began Feb 21 put about 400 people out of work
ldquoThere has been little or no upwards move-ment in the global dis-solving pulp market and forecasts indicated that the weak market price for dissolving pulp will continue through 2015 and into 2016rdquo said Chief Executive Officer Wanli Zhao in a letter to employees dated May 19
ldquoThe shareholders have evaluated this sit-
uation as well as the currently reliability of the mill and have come to the decision that in the interest of securing the long-term viability of the Mill the produc-tion curtailment will be extended into 2016rdquo Zhao said
During the curtail-ment the sharehold-ers have approved the development of a number of projects to address mechanical and operational issues that contribute to chronic poor reliability
ldquoItrsquos bad news for all
the people who were planning on going back to work in six monthsrdquo said Village of Port Alice Mayor Jan Allen adding the announce-ment did not come as a complete surprise
In the interim Village administration is ldquowork-ing hard at bringing courses here through North Island Collegerdquo Allen said
For instance the com-munity will be the host for a Building Service Worker Training course being offered July 14 to July 21

STORY IDEACall (250) 949-6225
By Hannah GriffinReporterOn a Friday evening several
cars pull into the small parking lot of the OrsquoConnor Lake Recreation Site south of Port McNeill A group of young people light a crackling fire and listen to music sprawled on a blanket They eat dinner and enjoy some drinks on the grassy lawn by the lake The scene has all the ingredients for a rowdy night in the making but by 930 pm the dying fire and a few bottles lying on the grass are all that linger at the site as the cars hastily pull out of the park-ing lot perhaps taking the young people home in time for curfews
Just outside Port Hardy is Beaver Lake Recreation Area There is a calm lake with seven stone-grey picnic tables a fire pit and a partially-submerged raft White daisies dot the long grass and a confetti-like collection of wet tissues earplugs and empty food wrappers dots the daisies Garbage is clearly visible but a single garbage can is not
Twenty-three kilometres south down the Port Alice Road is the Marble River Recreation Site Mid-afternoon a family is finishing a picnic lunch on a table and taking the remnants in a plastic bag back to their car Not everyone using public areas is as respectful of packing out what they bring in as a mound of garbage deposited in a nearby bush suggests Visitors to these sites should undisputedly be practising responsible site usage and packing out what they bring in The reality is that not everyone does It could be argued that more garbage recep-tacles at these sites would encourage some people to throw out their garbage and treat these sites with more respect According to some individuals closely involved in the care of these sites however this is a surprisingly complex issue as having garbage receptacles can actually create different kinds of problems
Greg Fletcher administrator for the Regional District of Mount Waddington (RDMW) explains that sites on the Alice Lake Loop Recreational Corridor are operated and maintained through a partnership between the RDMW Recreation Trails and Sites BC and Western Forest Products (WFP) including Marble River Beaver Lake Kathleen Lake and Devilrsquos Bath Representatives from each of the three involved groups have noted that the partner-ship has been very successful
Duncan Mactavish district recreation officer for Recreation Sites and Trails BC (Discovery Coast) explains that sites are divided into three groupings fee sites that are managed and where users are pay-ing for a service like Clint Beek non-fee sites that are also managed and user-maintained sites that are not actively managed apart from facility upgrades when needed
Fletcher explains that some of the Alice Lake Loop sites were an obligatory part of WFPrsquos tree farm licence back when they were created The district enters into a contract to help care for the sites from June until Labour Day
The district takes care of their own sites year-round but these specific Alice Lake Loop ones depend on provincial funding to offset the cost of care Kindry Mercer regional engagement officer for WFP says that throughout the year WFP provides a range of maintenance on the sites including identify-ing dangerous trees and felling them but that dur-ing the on-season it is maintained by Recreational Trails and Sites BC and the RDMW Mactavish
says that they provide garbage pick-up at some fee sites but the majority are pack in pack out Fletcher and Mactavish both note the extremely large time commitment it would take to have garbage pick-up at many sites especially when driving time to and between sites is considered
Fletcher says that a major reason these sites do not have garbage disposal is that in the past when there were more garbage disposal units they would be filled to the brim with household waste garbage that bore little resemblance to the typical waste accu-mulated from a few nights of camping or a picnic Mercer echoes this saying that historically when there were more garbage receptacles at sites they ended up being full of waste that did not seem to have any relation to site use Mactavish says that this was a major problem at Beaver Lake in particular
Another issue that involved parties have noted is the need for bear-proof containers in these areas Fletcher says that ldquothe issue is who will provide the bear-proof containersrdquo and that if sites do not have them then garbage needs to be picked up very fre-quently to minimize problems
Leaving garbage receptacles full for extended periods of time can be dangerous for both bears and people
The obvious solution may then appear to be bear-proof containers at every site yet cost is a huge impediment with a single bear bin costing around $2500 not including the cost of installation Mactavish says that their budget is already quite tight and that he would prefer to use funds for things that help improve sites-instead of counteracting user littering - things like repairing and upgrading old infrastructure like rotting picnic tables
There is the additional issue of site usage outside the June-Labour Day period that the RDMWrsquos con-tract runs for During warm spring days and even during this unusually mild past winter people still use these sites and one party of people neglecting to treat a site with respect can quickly leave it riddled with trash
Fletcher acknowledges this and says that they may be open to discussing contracts starting earlier in the spring but that an extension like this would depend on provincial funding This absence of garbage receptacles at some of these sites seems on its face to be counter intuitive to their care and maintenance Upon further investigation however it seems like the lack of waste disposal has been deemed necessary to deal with other behaviours and wildlife manage-ment
The message is clear - whether or not there is a place to deposit garbage it should not be left by users at the scenic sites that dot this region

On Sunday June 14 MERS will be converg-ing at the Seahorse Cafeacute amp Gallery in Telegraph Cove for the ldquoLove Your Oceanrdquo event from 11 am to 2 pm
Love Your Ocean is a fund-raiser for MERSrsquos whale research and a lsquofunrsquo raiser for families
The event will include games crafts music food a barbecue as well as a raffle and auction
Support from busi-nesses for raffle and silent auction items has been overwhelming with whale watching trips pottery clothing kayaking and more up for grabs says Jackie Hildering humpback whale researcher and education director for MERS
The silent-auction
will be live and on-line as well
The Marine Education and Research Society based in Alert Bay was incorporated in 2010 The association was formed to bring together existing marine research
and education projects as well as to provide a platform from which to conduct further work in the future
The directors of MERS are marine biologists and educa-tors brought together
through their work in the marine environ-ment While based here MERS directors have worked in many coun-tries and oceans
To date MERS research has been focused on projects investigating humpback and minke whales but has also included work on other baleen whales as well as on killer whales in other parts of the world
ldquoWersquore tying to have this event thatrsquos dynam-icrdquo Hildering said add-ing she will be in her dive gear as The Marine Detective and there will be a whole lot of marine puppets as well as the opportunity for people to have their photo taken in whale costumes
People will also
have the opportunity to suggest a name for a Humpback whale
Funds generated will go to support the work the group is doing in the area ldquoAn awful lot of what wersquore doing is all volunteer Therersquos a lot of valuable work being done and we have to find ways to get this work donerdquo
Hildering is grateful for the overwhelming support the society has received from the local business community for the event The eco-tourism companies have made numerous offers available she said The Seahorse Cafeacute is donat-ing the proceeds from their food sales that day to MERS
ldquoItrsquos extremely mov-ing rdquo she said

By Kathy OrsquoReilly-TaylorEditorPeople who entered
Port Hardy Secondary School June 2 would be forgiven for think-ing they had entered a construction zone
The halls rang with the sounds of saw-ing hammering and grinding as crowds of youngsters with the help of teachers and volunteers put togeth-er a personalized wooden bench
The process included students assembling the bench and cus-tomizing it with their initials cut from metal and a PHSS brand they got to burn into the wood
The event was part of a transitions pro-gram which introduced students from six area elementary schools to PHSS which they will be attending in the fall
ldquoThe bench was part of Trades Day which is an Industry Trades Authority (ITA) spon-sored event under the lsquoYes2Itrsquo programrdquo said school Counsellor Levin Prong
ldquoTrades Day is designed to inform and encourage youth to consider future trades
careersrdquo Prong said PHSS woodwork
teacher Joel Dyck and PHSS metal-work teacher Kevin McGhee designed and prepared the bench-es The Woodwork 8 and Metalwork 10-12 classes prefabricated all the pieces They also helped with the
learning process mak-ing sure the newcom-ers followed the safe practices the older students had learned during their studies at PHSS
School District 85 and local trades pro-fessionals were also invited to support and inform students throughout the pro-
cess The Trades Day also served as a fun-filled orientation dur-ing which Grade 7 students were familiar-ized with PHSS the industrial facilities and given the opportu-nity to meet with new peers with whom they will attend school next year

Hannah GriffinReporterPort McNeill-
born David Rannala is bringing relief to homeowners who have botched their houses
The Victoria-based contractor is fea-tured on Home and Garden Televisionrsquos new show ldquoI Wrecked My Houserdquo along-side comedian Steve Patterson Homeowners who have attempted to ren-ovate or fix their own houses with disastrous results are given a les-son from experts and then renovators and then put their skills to use and beautify the mistakes
Rannala owner of Rannala Construction in Victoria and a cer-tified journeyman carpenter says that he ldquoliterally just got kind of a phone call out of the bluerdquo from Ottawa-based televi-sion production com-pany Mountain Road Productions
The company cast him in the show which recently wrapped its first season air-ing now Rannala describes the experi-ence on the show as great but the schedule as hectic with 14 days straight spent shoot-ing each project and a week off in Victoria in between This schedule has allowed Rannala to cultivate a new skill ldquoworking for days on end with basically no sleeprdquo he jokes
The most challeng-ing project Rannala recalls from shooting the first season of ldquoI Wrecked My Houserdquo is the soon to be aired Hastings project a huge amount of work that needed to be com-pleted in a very short amount of time
ldquoIt was basically bulldozer baitrdquo he says
He usually works on custom high-end homes and says that the stress surround-ing the projects on the show is different because it is about fig-uring out quickly how
to move forward and improve the situation The show includes a team of skilled off-air carpenters who keep work moving when Rannala is involved in on-camera work
Rannala lived in Port McNeill until he was around seven and his father is still a resi-dent
Growing up in Port McNeill his life was full of ldquowhat you do as a kid in McNeill fires and fishingrdquo He moved to Victoria dur-ing his childhood and began an apprentice-ship right out of high school
Back in Victoria now that the show is
airing Rannala paus-es for a second while considering his long term goals
ldquoIf the sun and the stars and the moon
align we would bring the film crew to the North Islandrdquo
New episodes air Tuesday at 10 pm Eastern and Pacific

By Kathy OrsquoReilly-TaylorEditorA local student has
made a national splash with a science project that turns the ocean tide into electricity
Clayton Harderrsquos remarkable journey began at North Island Secondary School in Port McNeill with a project called ldquoTidal Power Pumprdquo
Harder a Grade 8 student designed and made a pump that can generate electricity using tides
ldquoWhile I was down at the docks in Port McNeill I noticed the rise and fall of the tides looked like a pump So I thought I would design a pump that would run off the tides to generate electric-ityrdquo said Clayton of the inspiration for his project
The young man is interested particularly in environmental sci-ences and finding ways to ldquostop stuff from harming the environ-mentrdquo
Harder created a
small-scale prototype which was actually able to run a light for a short period of time
This April Clayton 14 entered his proj-ect into the Northern Vancouver Island Regional Science Fair at NISS His proj-ect won the Michael Crooks Physics award The BC Hydro for Generations award and Top Overall Project award which allowed him to attend the Canada Wide Science Fair (CWSF) in Fredericton New Brunswick
Clayton had to fund-raise over $2000 for this trip said his mom Kathy and was sup-ported by North Island Chipping the Rotary Clubs of Port Hardy and Port McNeill the Lions Clubs of Port Hardy and Port McNeill Lemare Lake Logging Ltd and Strategic Forest Management
NISS Foods Teacher Ricki McCrae pur-chased the ingredients and organized a bake sale and vegetable bundles and firewood were also sold as a fund-raiser
ldquoThey and many others all helped make this trip possiblerdquo said Kathy
ldquoIt made me happy that so many people cared about the science fair and helping people to go thererdquo Clayton said
From May 9 to May 17 Clayton attended this fair along with 500
other kids from across Canada whose projects placed in their regional science fairs There were only 65 projects from BC that made it to the CWSF That total was from the senior intermediate and junior levels combined
The week included a day of judging from 830 am to 530 pm where Clayton was interviewed thoroughly by over 20 different judges There was also two and a half days of public viewing which over 4000 people attended
The event wasnrsquot all work a day was set aside for the kids to go to various sites in the Fredericton area Clayton was able to spend a day at the Bay of Fundy
Friday May 15 featured an awards day ceremony where Clayton was pre-sented with a Silver Medal of Excellence and the Junior Energy Challenge Award The silver medal awards come with a $2000 scholarship to Western University
ldquoThis is a huge achievement as less than one per cent of the science fair projects make it to the Canada Wide Science Fair and out of those less than one third receive any type of awardrdquo said Kathy
ldquoAs parents we are very proud of his accomplishments but we are most proud of who he is He is grow-
ing up to be a fine respectful young man That is what is impor-tantrdquo she said
ldquoWersquove seen increas-ing growth with all the projectsrdquo said Rena Sweeney chair of the Northern Vancouver Island Regional Science Fair Committee
Clayton specifically is ldquolooking at ways to apply his projects to solve real world prob-lemsrdquo Sweeney said
ldquoWersquore looking for-ward to see the direc-tion hersquos going itrdquo she said
And his mind is already turning
Although he is just in the initial stages Clayton hopes to build enough pumps to store energy on a Tesla bat-tery to power a home
While he is think-ing about the future Clayton also has an illustrious past
His forays into sci-ence fairs began in Grade 6 when his project was top proj-ect overall but he was too young to attend the CWSF
In 2014 Claytonrsquos project won top overall project once again and he attended the CWSF event which was held in Windsor Ontario There he won a Bronze Medal of Excellence
Science skills obvi-ously run in the family
Claytonrsquos brother Trevor won top over-all project awards in 2011 and 2012 and attended the CWSF in Toronto and then in Charlottetown PEI

By Hannah GriffinReporterThe Tri-Port
Speedway Association kicked off the 2015 season with a race event on June 7
Stock car racing enthusiasts flocked to the wooden stands above the track and lined the top of the hill on picnic blankets and in lawn chairs
Shortly after 1 pm drivers of the six entered cars gathered in the centre of the clay track to hear asso-ciation President Dan Stewart outline what each flag means event rules and regulations as well as to offer his hopes for the day
ldquoThe best thing you
guys can do is expect to lose every event this yearrdquo he said to the gathered drivers explaining that safety was a major priority
ldquoWe all want to go home in one piecerdquo
Engines began to roar as racers began the trophy dash four laps around the track
Announcer Ken Fraser explained that their stock car events typically run about two to three hours and are composed of three dis-tinct events Following the trophy dash there are two heat races one is a time trial and the second is based on points from that time trial
The last event is
based on points stand-ings from throughout the day
President Dan Stewart and Announcer Ken Fraser explained that the hot dry weath-er it was 18 degrees on race day contributed to some issues with dust They mitigate the problem by spraying down throughout the event but it just evapo-rates
The Tri-Port Speedway Association has another event on June 21 at 1 pm and the Dust Bowl Weekend is set for Aug 22 and 23 Anyone interested in volun-teering can contact organizer Teresa Lee at (250) 949-7273

want to miss the North Island Timing Associationrsquos summer series that promises to provide a million thrills a minute
On June 20-21 the annual Rumble on the Runway will be taking place at the Port McNeill Airport The race is one of three scheduled for this summer The others will be held July 18-19 and Aug 22-23
ldquoEach race day we typically see 50 to 75 carsrdquo said Acting President Chris Sharpe with about 15 from the North island
and the remaining vehicles from Campbell River Courtenay Nanaimo Ladysmith Duncan Shawnigan Lake Victoria Port Alberni Tofino and Powell River
There are typically three class-es of car at the event Sportsman (street carsmini vans) Pro which is a faster car some street cars but mostly dedicated race cars and Super Pro which is basically the same as Pro class but uses ldquoelectronicsrdquo in enginetransmission control
The Rumble on the Runway began in 2008 Sharpe said when ldquoa couple guys were look-ing to promote the sport and
bring a new influx of people to the North Islandrdquo
North Island Timing Association is the only drag rac-ing association on Vancouver Island that runs three large 18 mile bracket races every race season Port Alberni also has a 14 mile track also at a airport but it is only raced on one week-end per year
ldquoWersquore excited to have a actu-al 18 mile track that is recog-nized by the National Hot Rod Associationrdquo said Sharpe
Spectator admission is $5 per person at the gate and there is a concession on site for breakfast and lunch

an event that has run for nearly three decades will have golfers swinging their clubs in the friendly weekend event June 20 and 21
The tournament hosted by Seven Hills Golf and Country Club has three flights taking place Saturday morning Saturday afternoon and Sunday
There are prizes for everyone given out Sunday evening and dinner will be provided There is generally an allotment of 144 golf-ers and all prizes are donated by community businesses
Apart from being a sporting event the tournament is notable in that all profits go towards providing scholarships for local stu-dents through Port Hardy Secondary School and North Island Secondary School In pre-vious years the tournament proceeds went towards supporting local people in need and charities and for the previous three years has been supporting scholarships In 2014 six students were recipients of these scholar-ships
Critical to the success of this event is contri-butions by sponsors and any local organiza-tions or businesses interested in doing so may contact Bill Gray at 250-949-7623 or Lito Pineda at 250-956-5234 Donations may be dropped off at the WFP Port McNeill office or can be picked up by committee members (found on the event Facebook page)

ldquoContinued from Page 1We began to move We were an invasive
species We wiped out the flightless birds We had no idea how to take what you need without destroyingrdquo Suzuki said
ldquoEverywhere we went we made a lot of mistakesrdquo
You can follow humansrsquo path across the globe by the wave of extinction
Humans have had unprecedented power and impact on the earth In a single genera-tion the population on the planet has tripled to seven billion
ldquoWe have a big ecological footprint We are the most numerous mammal on Earthrdquo
Since World War II the worldrsquos econo-my is based on consumption and focused on wants rather than necessities
In order to meet this need ldquowe are chang-ing the biological physical and chemical properties of the planet We are undermin-ing the very thing that keeps us aliverdquo
Suzuki said partnership with First Nations is critical because of the value system they place on the land
ldquoWersquove got to work togetherrdquo he saidWhile humans are a very adaptive spe-
cies ldquowe are still confined to the biosphererdquo and have to live within the laws of nature
ldquoThere is a carrying capacity for the biosphere for our species We are using what should be our childrenrsquos and grand-childrenrsquos legacyrdquo
At the end of the day Suzuki said humans are animals If we donrsquot have air for three minutes we are dead If we
donrsquot have water for four to six days wersquore dead If we go three to six weeks without food wersquore dead That is why taking care of those things is vital ldquoAs long as we are dealing in the realm of economics we are doomed We are the major problem our inventions are the major problemrdquo
In order for change to occur there has to be political will Towards this end the David Suzuki Foundation has created the Blue Dot Movement aimed at enshrining in the Constitution every Canadianrsquos right
to live in a healthy environment ldquoWe need seven provinces representing
50 per cent of the population supporting this notionrdquo in order to amend the constitu-tion Suzuki said To date 56 communities have come on board representing five million Canadians Suzuki encouraged the crowd to speak to their political representa-tives about joining the movement
ldquoThe Blue Dot Movement will get us talking about the issues as they should be discussedrdquo
Dr David Suzuki talks to Eagle View School students prior to the Celebrating Coastal Connections event at the UrsquoGwamalis Hall in Fort Rupert June 5

Hannah Griffin Reporter Orcafest 2015 has become a reality Two of the festival
organizers Ashley Tapp and Jilly Laviolette were del-egates at the Town of Port McNeill council meeting on June 1 requesting $5000 for the Aug 15 event and shar-ing their vision for the festival that until recently was in danger of not happening
Mayor Shirley Ackland told Tapp and Laviolette that a decision to grant funding would not be made at the meet-ing but that Council would decide by June 15
Tapp and Laviolette said that their group of volunteers plans to move away from allocating a large portion of festival funds towards a Bounce-A-Rama an expense that together with other inflatables cost $3500 in 2014 and instead want to include fun active games that encourage
families to spend more time downtown The pair said that there has been a lot of interest from
other groups and a great deal of support and help from additional volunteers They said that the next step will be seeking out sponsors
In May the Port McNeill Chamber of Commerce announced that it would be unable to organize OrcaFest 2015 due to funding cuts and resources being directed to business community restructuring
A group of community members banded together and spearheaded making the event happen
ldquoIrsquod like to commend your energy and enthusiasmrdquo Councillor Jay Dixon told Tapp and Laviolette
The delegates also explained that they recognize the importance of organizing and delegating tasks
ldquoIf we try to take it all on wersquore going to sink our shiprdquo they said
In a May 25 email to council Tapp and Laviolette also expressed their grouprsquos interest in becoming a new community association to promote and host events and festivals
Mayor Ackland suggested the committee hold off on becoming an association at the moment a move that requires significant paperwork and function with an already-established association ldquoAs Council we are here to support what you want to do in the communityrdquo said Ackland

OrcaFest organizers request funds
By Kathy OrsquoReilly-TaylorEditorLocal dogs may soon have a new
place to stay when mom and dad are away
At its regular meeting May 26 District of Port Hardy Council gave first and second readings to a change to its Zoning Bylaw that would allow a kennel to be operated on Bronze Road (on the way to Storeyrsquos Beach)
Currently the property located in the Tacan Industrial Park is zoned Light Industrial
Dylan and Kristy Shaw who
own and operate Islandrsquos Edge Contracting Ltd are in the pro-cess of finalizing the purchase of property in the industrial park and would like to be able to house their contracting business a caretakerrsquos dwelling and in the future a dog kennel operation
The Shaws asked that the zoning be revised to allow a kennel as a permitted use
Rather than amend the existing applicable Light Industrial zone administration recommended that the property be considered for a new
zoning category - Comprehensive Development 6 which would permit all of the existing uses of the Light Industrial zone as well as the addi-tional use of an animal kennel
This approach would ensure that kennels are not permitted outright on other properties that are included in the Light Industrial zone which are scattered throughout the District without first undergoing a review as to location and potential impact
A public hearing will be held on June 23 at 630 pm in council chambers
Couple asks for rezoning for kennel

This report marks the end of the spring session in the Legislature The session left the perception it had been driven by a government bereft of ideas but desperate to stay in con-trol The last few days of debate in the Legislature are a microcosm of the manipulation of the parliamentary system by the BC Liberals
An example of the BC Liberalrsquos manipulation of the system for their own ends was the discussion around the Government Information Act The first iteration it was so badly drafted that the government itself tabled pages of amendments to be debated at the committee stage Even the title of the bill was amended to the Information Management Act We were opposed to the Act ndash which allows for an increasingly oral approach in government business in other words leaving no traceable records The legislation does not mandate a duty for the government to keep written records which means it is impossible to trace information We had seven amendments of our own which were defeated In the end the committee stage during which all these changes were introduced and debated and the bill supposedly analyzed lasted a mere 50 minutes
We spent a couple of Question Periods asking about need-ed changes to the system for children in government care who ldquoage outrdquo at 19 leaving them on their own with no family or other supports This came into shocking perspective when a young woman who had been in government care nearly her whole life who had moved 50 times and who had been abused killed herself after she left care Neither the Premier nor the minister responsible would commit to making any changes to prevent such cases happening again
The debates on bills finished early and the final two days were given over to the budget estimates of the office of the Premier This seems like a fruitless exercise as the Premier uses every opportunity either to spin or simply avoid answer-
ing For example when John Horgan the leader of the opposition asked about why she did not con-firm George Abbott as head of the Treaty Commission she started to talk about her ldquoaspirational goalsrdquo on LNG and job creation He asked that direct question four times and never got an answer
I was able to recognize School District 84rsquos Aboriginal Education Enhancement Agreement in the Legislature It was an honour to attend the event in Zeballos and to share with other MLAs the Districtrsquos achievement
I have been appointed to the Special Committee to Appoint a Merit Commissioner which will entail some extra work back in Victoria The Merit Commissionerrsquos job is to ensure that all public service appointments are based on ability read-ing some of the reports from previous years it is clear this was not always the case
We are not sure when the Legislature will resume sitting We are supposed to have a session in the fall for two months which might happen The government has indicated it wants to move on some legislation to speed up the sell-off of LNG to foreign companies
With the summer recess I will be busy both in the constitu-ency and through my critic portfolio working on ways to try to improve our transportation infrastructure and make BC Ferries work for us I can always be reached by email Clairetrevenamlalegbcca by phone in Campbell River on 250 287 5100 in Port Hardy on 250 949 9473 or 1 866 387 5100 toll free Feel free to friend me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter clairetrevena

RCMP lawsuit in courtWomen who say they were harassed and discrimi-
nated against during their service with the RCMP are in BC Supreme Court this week attempting to certify a class action lawsuit against the force
The certification hearing began Monday and the proposed class action would include 362 current and former officers and civilian employees across the country
The case was launched in 2012 by Janet Merlo a 19-year officer with the Nanaimo RCMP who was among the first officers to go public with allegations
Lawyer David Klein said the common thread among the complainants is harassment bullying and discrim-ination over an extended period of time
More women would be able to join the case if a judge agrees there was a systemic problem and certi-fies the class action
New election for doctorsA new election has been ordered for the presidency
of Doctors of BC after a recount determined the first vote ended in a tie
Dr Brian Day a leading proponent of more private health care had been declared the winner last week by a single vote
Officials at Doctors of BC (formerly the BC Medical Association) said the initial tally failed to count one vote for Dayrsquos challenger Dr Alan Ruddiman
The run-off vote between the two takes place from June 5 to 18
BC Health Minister Terry Lake said last week he was unsure whether he could meet with Day as presi-dent of the organization because the government is in a court battle with Dayrsquos Cambie Surgical Centre over whether the federal ban on doctors privately billing patients violates the Charter of Rights and Freedoms
Site aids youth lsquoaging outrsquoThe province has unveiled a new website designed
to help teens in foster care prepare to prepare for life without government support when they turn 19 and ldquoage outrdquo of care
The site agedoutcom was designed by former foster teens to connect with vulnerable youth and showcases services and supports to help make the transition
It includes videos of former youth in care discuss-ing real world challenges and gaming ldquoquestsrdquo where youth earn rewards by completing challenges like renting an apartment getting a bank account prepar-ing for a job interview or dealing with an abusive relationship
ldquoHow do I get a jobrdquo ldquoWhere am I going to liverdquo These are the types of questions we all faced when we became adultsrdquo Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux said ldquoBut for those in the care in the ministry the transition can be much more challengingrdquo
About 700 young people age out of government care each year

Dear EditorThe Village of Port Alice is indeed one of the most beau-
tiful places on earth It was nice to read Debra Lynnrsquos letter of appreciation
about our lovely community in the May 28th edition of the Gazette
The North Island as a whole is a region blessed with natural beauty rich in First Nationsrsquo culture and is one of the best places on earth to explore and enjoy the wilder-ness by land lake river or sea
Our region is also home to a busy forestry industry which provides us with jobs and gives us access to a vast network of back country recreational sites
The Neucel Specialty Cellulose Pulp Mill in Port Alice
is part of the forestry industry and has helped sustain fami-lies and community services for generations
Itrsquos true that the mill is on a curtailment but it is not shut down as was stated in Debrarsquos letter
Most of the millrsquos workforce is currently laid off and therersquos no question that this is a tough time for Port Alice and for Neucel employees throughout our North Island communities But we look forward to seeing the mill get back up and running in 2016
And yes we are still the Gateway to the Wild West Coast - come and visit Port Alice anytime
Yours truly Mayor Jan Allen

Gazette staffMalcolm Island
has won an award for Excellence in the RuralSmall Town Planning category from the Canadian Institute of Planners
The island with a population of 613 per-manent residents and 125 seasonal ones collaborated with EcoPlan a Vancouver-based urban plan-ning firm on a proj-ect named Growing Malcolm Island
The project was born out of conversa-tions among a group of residents more than three years ago about interest in community and economy devel-
opment according to the project website
The motivation for these discussions was growing concern over both diminishing pop-ulation and decreasing business on Malcolm Island
The first meeting on April 5 2012 led to four more all well attended
This project is unique in that it was initiated led and implemented by the community a com-munity that exists without strong local governance
The Canadian Institute of Planners noticed the grassroots approach to bringing
citizens together to help support the local economy and award-ed the distinction to Malcolm Island
Previous winners in the RuralSmall Town category are Maple Creek Saskatchewan (2014) Trinity Newfoundland and Labrador (2013) Orillia Ontario (2013) and the District of Peachland British Columbia (2012)

RDMW Knot plans continueBy Hannah GriffinReporterThe invasive plant species knot-
weed is growing out of control in the North Island The Regional District of Mount Waddington (RDMW) is in the process of developing a Knotweed Eradication Program Pat English RDMW manager of eco-nomic development says that the district is applying for funding from the Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovationrsquos Job Creation Partnership and is also partner-ing with the District of Port Hardy the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure BC Hydro Western Forest Products and the Town of Port McNeill English explains that there is knotweed in many areas of the region with the highest concentration likely in Coal Harbour with Port Hardy also heavily affected
Knotweed spreads rapidly through root systems and can be detrimental to biodiversity and increase the risk of soil erosion ldquoThe need for the program is to address the potential liability if knotweed gets into the water and sewage systemsrdquo English says adding that it can damage this infrastructure
English says that there are two methods for eradicating knotweed One is to inject a pesticide directly into the roots which kills the root system and the other is to cut it back over the course of a few years eventually killing it off He explains that discussion so far has proposed
Port McNeill as a training ground for crews as there are only four to five outcroppings there and the issue is not as serious as in other areas
At the June 1 Town of Port McNeill council meeting a May 13 letter was discussed from English and Patrick Donaghy RDMWrsquos manager of oper-ations
They asked for a letter of support from Port McNeill to include in their funding application
Councillor Graham MacDonald was against the idea of training occur-ring in Port McNeill ldquoTheyrsquore going to come here and theyrsquore going to use chemicals and Irsquom dead against itrdquo he said adding that he feels focus should be on eradicating knotweed in Coal Harbour
English says that it is important to remember that the pesticides used in the eradication program are all licensed and permitted and will be administered by crews qualified by the province Crews would be tar-geting outbreaks on municipal prop-erty or rights of way where munici-pal infrastructure goes There would only be work done on private land if permission had previously been obtained
Mayor Shirley Ackland suggested asking for more information on the program and how it would affect Port McNeill including specific plans to deal with the knotweed and if and what kinds of chemicals would be used in the process The issue was tabled until the June 15 meeting

The Ministry of Forests Lands and Natural Resource Operations is considering establishing up to eight new Biodiversity Mining and Tourism Areas (BMTAs) under the Environment and Land Use Act For King Island the ministry is looking at the possibility of establishing a conservancy under the Park Act instead of a BMTA These areas would comprise approximately 295000 hectares of Crown land
The ministry is also proposing to cancel the 2007 South Central Coast Order and Central and North Coast Order and all their amendments (2009 and 2013) and replace these with the proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest land use objectives established by legal order pursuant to Section 934 of the Land Act and for the purposes of the Forest and Range Practices Act The proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest Order sets forest management requirements within the 64 million hectares of the Great Bear Rainforest (see schedule A in the proposed Order) The proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest Order addresses First Nations cultural heritage resources freshwater ecosystems and habitats landscape and stand level biodiversity and bear habitat Together the proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest Order and potential BMTAsconservancy will meet the goals of reserving 70 of historic old growth forests with some minor exceptions while maintaining a viable forest industry in the Great Bear Rainforest
In areas designated as BMTAs commercial logging and hydro-electric power generation linked to the power grid would be prohibited other resource activities and land uses would remain subject to existing legal requirements The designations would only apply to provincial Crown land
Areas designated as conservancies explicitly recognize the importance of the area to First Nations for social ceremonial and cultural uses Conservancies provide for a wider range of low impact compatible economic opportunities than Class A parks however commercial logging mining and hydroelectric power generation other than local run-of-the-river projects are prohibited The designation would only apply to provincial Crown land
The public is invited to comment on the proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest order and potential BMTAsconservancy June 11 2015 to August 10 2015
Copies of the proposed order and associated maps and maps of the potential BMTAsconservancy are available online at httpswwwforgovbccaTASBSLRPGBR_BMTA_LUORhtml

dealt another blowThe Neucel Specialty
Cellulose mill in Port Alice will be closed lon-
ger than the six months previously announced The closure which began Feb 21 put about 400 people out of work
ldquoThere has been little or no upwards move-ment in the global dis-solving pulp market and forecasts indicated that the weak market price for dissolving pulp will continue through 2015 and into 2016rdquo said Chief Executive Officer Wanli Zhao in a letter to employees dated May 19
ldquoThe shareholders have evaluated this sit-
uation as well as the currently reliability of the mill and have come to the decision that in the interest of securing the long-term viability of the Mill the produc-tion curtailment will be extended into 2016rdquo Zhao said
During the curtail-ment the sharehold-ers have approved the development of a number of projects to address mechanical and operational issues that contribute to chronic poor reliability
ldquoItrsquos bad news for all
the people who were planning on going back to work in six monthsrdquo said Village of Port Alice Mayor Jan Allen adding the announce-ment did not come as a complete surprise
In the interim Village administration is ldquowork-ing hard at bringing courses here through North Island Collegerdquo Allen said
For instance the com-munity will be the host for a Building Service Worker Training course being offered July 14 to July 21

STORY IDEACall (250) 949-6225
By Hannah GriffinReporterOn a Friday evening several
cars pull into the small parking lot of the OrsquoConnor Lake Recreation Site south of Port McNeill A group of young people light a crackling fire and listen to music sprawled on a blanket They eat dinner and enjoy some drinks on the grassy lawn by the lake The scene has all the ingredients for a rowdy night in the making but by 930 pm the dying fire and a few bottles lying on the grass are all that linger at the site as the cars hastily pull out of the park-ing lot perhaps taking the young people home in time for curfews
Just outside Port Hardy is Beaver Lake Recreation Area There is a calm lake with seven stone-grey picnic tables a fire pit and a partially-submerged raft White daisies dot the long grass and a confetti-like collection of wet tissues earplugs and empty food wrappers dots the daisies Garbage is clearly visible but a single garbage can is not
Twenty-three kilometres south down the Port Alice Road is the Marble River Recreation Site Mid-afternoon a family is finishing a picnic lunch on a table and taking the remnants in a plastic bag back to their car Not everyone using public areas is as respectful of packing out what they bring in as a mound of garbage deposited in a nearby bush suggests Visitors to these sites should undisputedly be practising responsible site usage and packing out what they bring in The reality is that not everyone does It could be argued that more garbage recep-tacles at these sites would encourage some people to throw out their garbage and treat these sites with more respect According to some individuals closely involved in the care of these sites however this is a surprisingly complex issue as having garbage receptacles can actually create different kinds of problems
Greg Fletcher administrator for the Regional District of Mount Waddington (RDMW) explains that sites on the Alice Lake Loop Recreational Corridor are operated and maintained through a partnership between the RDMW Recreation Trails and Sites BC and Western Forest Products (WFP) including Marble River Beaver Lake Kathleen Lake and Devilrsquos Bath Representatives from each of the three involved groups have noted that the partner-ship has been very successful
Duncan Mactavish district recreation officer for Recreation Sites and Trails BC (Discovery Coast) explains that sites are divided into three groupings fee sites that are managed and where users are pay-ing for a service like Clint Beek non-fee sites that are also managed and user-maintained sites that are not actively managed apart from facility upgrades when needed
Fletcher explains that some of the Alice Lake Loop sites were an obligatory part of WFPrsquos tree farm licence back when they were created The district enters into a contract to help care for the sites from June until Labour Day
The district takes care of their own sites year-round but these specific Alice Lake Loop ones depend on provincial funding to offset the cost of care Kindry Mercer regional engagement officer for WFP says that throughout the year WFP provides a range of maintenance on the sites including identify-ing dangerous trees and felling them but that dur-ing the on-season it is maintained by Recreational Trails and Sites BC and the RDMW Mactavish
says that they provide garbage pick-up at some fee sites but the majority are pack in pack out Fletcher and Mactavish both note the extremely large time commitment it would take to have garbage pick-up at many sites especially when driving time to and between sites is considered
Fletcher says that a major reason these sites do not have garbage disposal is that in the past when there were more garbage disposal units they would be filled to the brim with household waste garbage that bore little resemblance to the typical waste accu-mulated from a few nights of camping or a picnic Mercer echoes this saying that historically when there were more garbage receptacles at sites they ended up being full of waste that did not seem to have any relation to site use Mactavish says that this was a major problem at Beaver Lake in particular
Another issue that involved parties have noted is the need for bear-proof containers in these areas Fletcher says that ldquothe issue is who will provide the bear-proof containersrdquo and that if sites do not have them then garbage needs to be picked up very fre-quently to minimize problems
Leaving garbage receptacles full for extended periods of time can be dangerous for both bears and people
The obvious solution may then appear to be bear-proof containers at every site yet cost is a huge impediment with a single bear bin costing around $2500 not including the cost of installation Mactavish says that their budget is already quite tight and that he would prefer to use funds for things that help improve sites-instead of counteracting user littering - things like repairing and upgrading old infrastructure like rotting picnic tables
There is the additional issue of site usage outside the June-Labour Day period that the RDMWrsquos con-tract runs for During warm spring days and even during this unusually mild past winter people still use these sites and one party of people neglecting to treat a site with respect can quickly leave it riddled with trash
Fletcher acknowledges this and says that they may be open to discussing contracts starting earlier in the spring but that an extension like this would depend on provincial funding This absence of garbage receptacles at some of these sites seems on its face to be counter intuitive to their care and maintenance Upon further investigation however it seems like the lack of waste disposal has been deemed necessary to deal with other behaviours and wildlife manage-ment
The message is clear - whether or not there is a place to deposit garbage it should not be left by users at the scenic sites that dot this region

Marine Education and Research Society (MERS) is putting the fun in fund-raising
On Sunday June 14 MERS will be converg-ing at the Seahorse Cafeacute amp Gallery in Telegraph Cove for the ldquoLove Your Oceanrdquo event from 11 am to 2 pm
Love Your Ocean is a fund-raiser for MERSrsquos whale research and a lsquofunrsquo raiser for families
The event will include games crafts music food a barbecue as well as a raffle and auction
Support from busi-nesses for raffle and silent auction items has been overwhelming with whale watching trips pottery clothing kayaking and more up for grabs says Jackie Hildering humpback whale researcher and education director for MERS
The silent-auction
will be live and on-line as well
The Marine Education and Research Society based in Alert Bay was incorporated in 2010 The association was formed to bring together existing marine research
and education projects as well as to provide a platform from which to conduct further work in the future
The directors of MERS are marine biologists and educa-tors brought together
through their work in the marine environ-ment While based here MERS directors have worked in many coun-tries and oceans
To date MERS research has been focused on projects investigating humpback and minke whales but has also included work on other baleen whales as well as on killer whales in other parts of the world
ldquoWersquore tying to have this event thatrsquos dynam-icrdquo Hildering said add-ing she will be in her dive gear as The Marine Detective and there will be a whole lot of marine puppets as well as the opportunity for people to have their photo taken in whale costumes
People will also
have the opportunity to suggest a name for a Humpback whale
Funds generated will go to support the work the group is doing in the area ldquoAn awful lot of what wersquore doing is all volunteer Therersquos a lot of valuable work being done and we have to find ways to get this work donerdquo
Hildering is grateful for the overwhelming support the society has received from the local business community for the event The eco-tourism companies have made numerous offers available she said The Seahorse Cafeacute is donat-ing the proceeds from their food sales that day to MERS
ldquoItrsquos extremely mov-ing rdquo she said

By Kathy OrsquoReilly-TaylorEditorPeople who entered
Port Hardy Secondary School June 2 would be forgiven for think-ing they had entered a construction zone
The halls rang with the sounds of saw-ing hammering and grinding as crowds of youngsters with the help of teachers and volunteers put togeth-er a personalized wooden bench
The process included students assembling the bench and cus-tomizing it with their initials cut from metal and a PHSS brand they got to burn into the wood
The event was part of a transitions pro-gram which introduced students from six area elementary schools to PHSS which they will be attending in the fall
ldquoThe bench was part of Trades Day which is an Industry Trades Authority (ITA) spon-sored event under the lsquoYes2Itrsquo programrdquo said school Counsellor Levin Prong
ldquoTrades Day is designed to inform and encourage youth to consider future trades
careersrdquo Prong said PHSS woodwork
teacher Joel Dyck and PHSS metal-work teacher Kevin McGhee designed and prepared the bench-es The Woodwork 8 and Metalwork 10-12 classes prefabricated all the pieces They also helped with the
learning process mak-ing sure the newcom-ers followed the safe practices the older students had learned during their studies at PHSS
School District 85 and local trades pro-fessionals were also invited to support and inform students throughout the pro-
cess The Trades Day also served as a fun-filled orientation dur-ing which Grade 7 students were familiar-ized with PHSS the industrial facilities and given the opportu-nity to meet with new peers with whom they will attend school next year

Hannah GriffinReporterPort McNeill-
born David Rannala is bringing relief to homeowners who have botched their houses
The Victoria-based contractor is fea-tured on Home and Garden Televisionrsquos new show ldquoI Wrecked My Houserdquo along-side comedian Steve Patterson Homeowners who have attempted to ren-ovate or fix their own houses with disastrous results are given a les-son from experts and then renovators and then put their skills to use and beautify the mistakes
Rannala owner of Rannala Construction in Victoria and a cer-tified journeyman carpenter says that he ldquoliterally just got kind of a phone call out of the bluerdquo from Ottawa-based televi-sion production com-pany Mountain Road Productions
The company cast him in the show which recently wrapped its first season air-ing now Rannala describes the experi-ence on the show as great but the schedule as hectic with 14 days straight spent shoot-ing each project and a week off in Victoria in between This schedule has allowed Rannala to cultivate a new skill ldquoworking for days on end with basically no sleeprdquo he jokes
The most challeng-ing project Rannala recalls from shooting the first season of ldquoI Wrecked My Houserdquo is the soon to be aired Hastings project a huge amount of work that needed to be com-pleted in a very short amount of time
ldquoIt was basically bulldozer baitrdquo he says
He usually works on custom high-end homes and says that the stress surround-ing the projects on the show is different because it is about fig-uring out quickly how
to move forward and improve the situation The show includes a team of skilled off-air carpenters who keep work moving when Rannala is involved in on-camera work
Rannala lived in Port McNeill until he was around seven and his father is still a resi-dent
Growing up in Port McNeill his life was full of ldquowhat you do as a kid in McNeill fires and fishingrdquo He moved to Victoria dur-ing his childhood and began an apprentice-ship right out of high school
Back in Victoria now that the show is
airing Rannala paus-es for a second while considering his long term goals
ldquoIf the sun and the stars and the moon
align we would bring the film crew to the North Islandrdquo
New episodes air Tuesday at 10 pm Eastern and Pacific

By Kathy OrsquoReilly-TaylorEditorA local student has
made a national splash with a science project that turns the ocean tide into electricity
Clayton Harderrsquos remarkable journey began at North Island Secondary School in Port McNeill with a project called ldquoTidal Power Pumprdquo
Harder a Grade 8 student designed and made a pump that can generate electricity using tides
ldquoWhile I was down at the docks in Port McNeill I noticed the rise and fall of the tides looked like a pump So I thought I would design a pump that would run off the tides to generate electric-ityrdquo said Clayton of the inspiration for his project
The young man is interested particularly in environmental sci-ences and finding ways to ldquostop stuff from harming the environ-mentrdquo
Harder created a
small-scale prototype which was actually able to run a light for a short period of time
This April Clayton 14 entered his proj-ect into the Northern Vancouver Island Regional Science Fair at NISS His proj-ect won the Michael Crooks Physics award The BC Hydro for Generations award and Top Overall Project award which allowed him to attend the Canada Wide Science Fair (CWSF) in Fredericton New Brunswick
Clayton had to fund-raise over $2000 for this trip said his mom Kathy and was sup-ported by North Island Chipping the Rotary Clubs of Port Hardy and Port McNeill the Lions Clubs of Port Hardy and Port McNeill Lemare Lake Logging Ltd and Strategic Forest Management
NISS Foods Teacher Ricki McCrae pur-chased the ingredients and organized a bake sale and vegetable bundles and firewood were also sold as a fund-raiser
ldquoThey and many others all helped make this trip possiblerdquo said Kathy
ldquoIt made me happy that so many people cared about the science fair and helping people to go thererdquo Clayton said
From May 9 to May 17 Clayton attended this fair along with 500
other kids from across Canada whose projects placed in their regional science fairs There were only 65 projects from BC that made it to the CWSF That total was from the senior intermediate and junior levels combined
The week included a day of judging from 830 am to 530 pm where Clayton was interviewed thoroughly by over 20 different judges There was also two and a half days of public viewing which over 4000 people attended
The event wasnrsquot all work a day was set aside for the kids to go to various sites in the Fredericton area Clayton was able to spend a day at the Bay of Fundy
Friday May 15 featured an awards day ceremony where Clayton was pre-sented with a Silver Medal of Excellence and the Junior Energy Challenge Award The silver medal awards come with a $2000 scholarship to Western University
ldquoThis is a huge achievement as less than one per cent of the science fair projects make it to the Canada Wide Science Fair and out of those less than one third receive any type of awardrdquo said Kathy
ldquoAs parents we are very proud of his accomplishments but we are most proud of who he is He is grow-
ing up to be a fine respectful young man That is what is impor-tantrdquo she said
ldquoWersquove seen increas-ing growth with all the projectsrdquo said Rena Sweeney chair of the Northern Vancouver Island Regional Science Fair Committee
Clayton specifically is ldquolooking at ways to apply his projects to solve real world prob-lemsrdquo Sweeney said
ldquoWersquore looking for-ward to see the direc-tion hersquos going itrdquo she said
And his mind is already turning
Although he is just in the initial stages Clayton hopes to build enough pumps to store energy on a Tesla bat-tery to power a home
While he is think-ing about the future Clayton also has an illustrious past
His forays into sci-ence fairs began in Grade 6 when his project was top proj-ect overall but he was too young to attend the CWSF
In 2014 Claytonrsquos project won top overall project once again and he attended the CWSF event which was held in Windsor Ontario There he won a Bronze Medal of Excellence
Science skills obvi-ously run in the family
Claytonrsquos brother Trevor won top over-all project awards in 2011 and 2012 and attended the CWSF in Toronto and then in Charlottetown PEI

By Hannah GriffinReporterThe Tri-Port
Speedway Association kicked off the 2015 season with a race event on June 7
Stock car racing enthusiasts flocked to the wooden stands above the track and lined the top of the hill on picnic blankets and in lawn chairs
Shortly after 1 pm drivers of the six entered cars gathered in the centre of the clay track to hear asso-ciation President Dan Stewart outline what each flag means event rules and regulations as well as to offer his hopes for the day
ldquoThe best thing you
guys can do is expect to lose every event this yearrdquo he said to the gathered drivers explaining that safety was a major priority
ldquoWe all want to go home in one piecerdquo
Engines began to roar as racers began the trophy dash four laps around the track
Announcer Ken Fraser explained that their stock car events typically run about two to three hours and are composed of three dis-tinct events Following the trophy dash there are two heat races one is a time trial and the second is based on points from that time trial
The last event is
based on points stand-ings from throughout the day
President Dan Stewart and Announcer Ken Fraser explained that the hot dry weath-er it was 18 degrees on race day contributed to some issues with dust They mitigate the problem by spraying down throughout the event but it just evapo-rates
The Tri-Port Speedway Association has another event on June 21 at 1 pm and the Dust Bowl Weekend is set for Aug 22 and 23 Anyone interested in volun-teering can contact organizer Teresa Lee at (250) 949-7273

On June 20-21 the annual Rumble on the Runway will be taking place at the Port McNeill Airport The race is one of three scheduled for this summer The others will be held July 18-19 and Aug 22-23

and the remaining vehicles from Campbell River Courtenay Nanaimo Ladysmith Duncan Shawnigan Lake Victoria Port Alberni Tofino and Powell River
There are typically three class-es of car at the event Sportsman (street carsmini vans) Pro which is a faster car some street cars but mostly dedicated race cars and Super Pro which is basically the same as Pro class but uses ldquoelectronicsrdquo in enginetransmission control
The Rumble on the Runway began in 2008 Sharpe said when ldquoa couple guys were look-ing to promote the sport and
bring a new influx of people to the North Islandrdquo
North Island Timing Association is the only drag rac-ing association on Vancouver Island that runs three large 18 mile bracket races every race season Port Alberni also has a 14 mile track also at a airport but it is only raced on one week-end per year
ldquoWersquore excited to have a actu-al 18 mile track that is recog-nized by the National Hot Rod Associationrdquo said Sharpe

Hannah Griffin Reporter Orcafest 2015 has become a reality Two of the festival
organizers Ashley Tapp and Jilly Laviolette were del-egates at the Town of Port McNeill council meeting on June 1 requesting $5000 for the Aug 15 event and shar-ing their vision for the festival that until recently was in danger of not happening
Mayor Shirley Ackland told Tapp and Laviolette that a decision to grant funding would not be made at the meet-ing but that Council would decide by June 15
Tapp and Laviolette said that their group of volunteers plans to move away from allocating a large portion of festival funds towards a Bounce-A-Rama an expense that together with other inflatables cost $3500 in 2014 and instead want to include fun active games that encourage
families to spend more time downtown The pair said that there has been a lot of interest from
other groups and a great deal of support and help from additional volunteers They said that the next step will be seeking out sponsors
In May the Port McNeill Chamber of Commerce announced that it would be unable to organize OrcaFest 2015 due to funding cuts and resources being directed to business community restructuring
A group of community members banded together and spearheaded making the event happen
ldquoIrsquod like to commend your energy and enthusiasmrdquo Councillor Jay Dixon told Tapp and Laviolette
The delegates also explained that they recognize the importance of organizing and delegating tasks
ldquoIf we try to take it all on wersquore going to sink our shiprdquo they said
In a May 25 email to council Tapp and Laviolette also expressed their grouprsquos interest in becoming a new community association to promote and host events and festivals
Mayor Ackland suggested the committee hold off on becoming an association at the moment a move that requires significant paperwork and function with an already-established association ldquoAs Council we are here to support what you want to do in the communityrdquo said Ackland

OrcaFest organizers request funds
By Kathy OrsquoReilly-TaylorEditorLocal dogs may soon have a new
place to stay when mom and dad are away
At its regular meeting May 26 District of Port Hardy Council gave first and second readings to a change to its Zoning Bylaw that would allow a kennel to be operated on Bronze Road (on the way to Storeyrsquos Beach)
Currently the property located in the Tacan Industrial Park is zoned Light Industrial
Dylan and Kristy Shaw who
own and operate Islandrsquos Edge Contracting Ltd are in the pro-cess of finalizing the purchase of property in the industrial park and would like to be able to house their contracting business a caretakerrsquos dwelling and in the future a dog kennel operation
The Shaws asked that the zoning be revised to allow a kennel as a permitted use
Rather than amend the existing applicable Light Industrial zone administration recommended that the property be considered for a new
zoning category - Comprehensive Development 6 which would permit all of the existing uses of the Light Industrial zone as well as the addi-tional use of an animal kennel
This approach would ensure that kennels are not permitted outright on other properties that are included in the Light Industrial zone which are scattered throughout the District without first undergoing a review as to location and potential impact
A public hearing will be held on June 23 at 630 pm in council chambers

This report marks the end of the spring session in the Legislature The session left the perception it had been driven by a government bereft of ideas but desperate to stay in con-trol The last few days of debate in the Legislature are a microcosm of the manipulation of the parliamentary system by the BC Liberals
An example of the BC Liberalrsquos manipulation of the system for their own ends was the discussion around the Government Information Act The first iteration it was so badly drafted that the government itself tabled pages of amendments to be debated at the committee stage Even the title of the bill was amended to the Information Management Act We were opposed to the Act ndash which allows for an increasingly oral approach in government business in other words leaving no traceable records The legislation does not mandate a duty for the government to keep written records which means it is impossible to trace information We had seven amendments of our own which were defeated In the end the committee stage during which all these changes were introduced and debated and the bill supposedly analyzed lasted a mere 50 minutes
We spent a couple of Question Periods asking about need-ed changes to the system for children in government care who ldquoage outrdquo at 19 leaving them on their own with no family or other supports This came into shocking perspective when a young woman who had been in government care nearly her whole life who had moved 50 times and who had been abused killed herself after she left care Neither the Premier nor the minister responsible would commit to making any changes to prevent such cases happening again
The debates on bills finished early and the final two days were given over to the budget estimates of the office of the Premier This seems like a fruitless exercise as the Premier uses every opportunity either to spin or simply avoid answer-
ing For example when John Horgan the leader of the opposition asked about why she did not con-firm George Abbott as head of the Treaty Commission she started to talk about her ldquoaspirational goalsrdquo on LNG and job creation He asked that direct question four times and never got an answer
I was able to recognize School District 84rsquos Aboriginal Education Enhancement Agreement in the Legislature It was an honour to attend the event in Zeballos and to share with other MLAs the Districtrsquos achievement
I have been appointed to the Special Committee to Appoint a Merit Commissioner which will entail some extra work back in Victoria The Merit Commissionerrsquos job is to ensure that all public service appointments are based on ability read-ing some of the reports from previous years it is clear this was not always the case
We are not sure when the Legislature will resume sitting We are supposed to have a session in the fall for two months which might happen The government has indicated it wants to move on some legislation to speed up the sell-off of LNG to foreign companies
With the summer recess I will be busy both in the constitu-ency and through my critic portfolio working on ways to try to improve our transportation infrastructure and make BC Ferries work for us I can always be reached by email Clairetrevenamlalegbcca by phone in Campbell River on 250 287 5100 in Port Hardy on 250 949 9473 or 1 866 387 5100 toll free Feel free to friend me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter clairetrevena

RCMP lawsuit in courtWomen who say they were harassed and discrimi-
nated against during their service with the RCMP are in BC Supreme Court this week attempting to certify a class action lawsuit against the force
The certification hearing began Monday and the proposed class action would include 362 current and former officers and civilian employees across the country
The case was launched in 2012 by Janet Merlo a 19-year officer with the Nanaimo RCMP who was among the first officers to go public with allegations
Lawyer David Klein said the common thread among the complainants is harassment bullying and discrim-ination over an extended period of time
More women would be able to join the case if a judge agrees there was a systemic problem and certi-fies the class action
New election for doctorsA new election has been ordered for the presidency
of Doctors of BC after a recount determined the first vote ended in a tie
Dr Brian Day a leading proponent of more private health care had been declared the winner last week by a single vote
Officials at Doctors of BC (formerly the BC Medical Association) said the initial tally failed to count one vote for Dayrsquos challenger Dr Alan Ruddiman
The run-off vote between the two takes place from June 5 to 18
BC Health Minister Terry Lake said last week he was unsure whether he could meet with Day as presi-dent of the organization because the government is in a court battle with Dayrsquos Cambie Surgical Centre over whether the federal ban on doctors privately billing patients violates the Charter of Rights and Freedoms
Site aids youth lsquoaging outrsquoThe province has unveiled a new website designed
to help teens in foster care prepare to prepare for life without government support when they turn 19 and ldquoage outrdquo of care
The site agedoutcom was designed by former foster teens to connect with vulnerable youth and showcases services and supports to help make the transition
It includes videos of former youth in care discuss-ing real world challenges and gaming ldquoquestsrdquo where youth earn rewards by completing challenges like renting an apartment getting a bank account prepar-ing for a job interview or dealing with an abusive relationship
ldquoHow do I get a jobrdquo ldquoWhere am I going to liverdquo These are the types of questions we all faced when we became adultsrdquo Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux said ldquoBut for those in the care in the ministry the transition can be much more challengingrdquo
About 700 young people age out of government care each year

Dear EditorThe Village of Port Alice is indeed one of the most beau-
tiful places on earth It was nice to read Debra Lynnrsquos letter of appreciation
about our lovely community in the May 28th edition of the Gazette
The North Island as a whole is a region blessed with natural beauty rich in First Nationsrsquo culture and is one of the best places on earth to explore and enjoy the wilder-ness by land lake river or sea
Our region is also home to a busy forestry industry which provides us with jobs and gives us access to a vast network of back country recreational sites
The Neucel Specialty Cellulose Pulp Mill in Port Alice
is part of the forestry industry and has helped sustain fami-lies and community services for generations
Itrsquos true that the mill is on a curtailment but it is not shut down as was stated in Debrarsquos letter
Most of the millrsquos workforce is currently laid off and therersquos no question that this is a tough time for Port Alice and for Neucel employees throughout our North Island communities But we look forward to seeing the mill get back up and running in 2016
And yes we are still the Gateway to the Wild West Coast - come and visit Port Alice anytime
Yours truly Mayor Jan Allen

Gazette staffMalcolm Island
has won an award for Excellence in the RuralSmall Town Planning category from the Canadian Institute of Planners
The island with a population of 613 per-manent residents and 125 seasonal ones collaborated with EcoPlan a Vancouver-based urban plan-ning firm on a proj-ect named Growing Malcolm Island
The project was born out of conversa-tions among a group of residents more than three years ago about interest in community and economy devel-
opment according to the project website
The motivation for these discussions was growing concern over both diminishing pop-ulation and decreasing business on Malcolm Island
The first meeting on April 5 2012 led to four more all well attended
This project is unique in that it was initiated led and implemented by the community a com-munity that exists without strong local governance
The Canadian Institute of Planners noticed the grassroots approach to bringing
citizens together to help support the local economy and award-ed the distinction to Malcolm Island
Previous winners in the RuralSmall Town category are Maple Creek Saskatchewan (2014) Trinity Newfoundland and Labrador (2013) Orillia Ontario (2013) and the District of Peachland British Columbia (2012)
The Canadian Institute of Planners presents annual Awards for Planning Excellence that hon-our projects judged on their excellence innovation impact on the profession imple-mentation potential and overall presenta-tion

By Kathy OrsquoReilly-TaylorEditorOver the last year the Town of
Port McNeill has made great strides in getting its financial house in order
ldquoBasically the town has come a long waysrdquo said Treasurer Dan Rodin at a recent council meeting According to its audited financial statements at the end of 2014 the town had $577000 in the bank com-pared to an overdraft of $295000 at
the end of 2013 said Rodin The townrsquos long-term debt has also been paid down by $101000
In 2013 the town had an operat-ing deficit of $96163 In 2014 the Town had an operating surplus of $751000
In 2014 the town received $200000 from the North Island Community Forest which went into a reserve ldquoThe Community Forest partnership has basically paid for itselfrdquo said Rodin

RDMW Knot plans continueBy Hannah GriffinReporterThe invasive plant species knot-
weed is growing out of control in the North Island The Regional District of Mount Waddington (RDMW) is in the process of developing a Knotweed Eradication Program Pat English RDMW manager of eco-nomic development says that the district is applying for funding from the Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovationrsquos Job Creation Partnership and is also partner-ing with the District of Port Hardy the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure BC Hydro Western Forest Products and the Town of Port McNeill English explains that there is knotweed in many areas of the region with the highest concentration likely in Coal Harbour with Port Hardy also heavily affected
Knotweed spreads rapidly through root systems and can be detrimental to biodiversity and increase the risk of soil erosion ldquoThe need for the program is to address the potential liability if knotweed gets into the water and sewage systemsrdquo English says adding that it can damage this infrastructure
English says that there are two methods for eradicating knotweed One is to inject a pesticide directly into the roots which kills the root system and the other is to cut it back over the course of a few years eventually killing it off He explains that discussion so far has proposed
Port McNeill as a training ground for crews as there are only four to five outcroppings there and the issue is not as serious as in other areas
At the June 1 Town of Port McNeill council meeting a May 13 letter was discussed from English and Patrick Donaghy RDMWrsquos manager of oper-ations
They asked for a letter of support from Port McNeill to include in their funding application
Councillor Graham MacDonald was against the idea of training occur-ring in Port McNeill ldquoTheyrsquore going to come here and theyrsquore going to use chemicals and Irsquom dead against itrdquo he said adding that he feels focus should be on eradicating knotweed in Coal Harbour
English says that it is important to remember that the pesticides used in the eradication program are all licensed and permitted and will be administered by crews qualified by the province Crews would be tar-geting outbreaks on municipal prop-erty or rights of way where munici-pal infrastructure goes There would only be work done on private land if permission had previously been obtained
Mayor Shirley Ackland suggested asking for more information on the program and how it would affect Port McNeill including specific plans to deal with the knotweed and if and what kinds of chemicals would be used in the process The issue was tabled until the June 15 meeting

The Ministry of Forests Lands and Natural Resource Operations is considering establishing up to eight new Biodiversity Mining and Tourism Areas (BMTAs) under the Environment and Land Use Act For King Island the ministry is looking at the possibility of establishing a conservancy under the Park Act instead of a BMTA These areas would comprise approximately 295000 hectares of Crown land
The ministry is also proposing to cancel the 2007 South Central Coast Order and Central and North Coast Order and all their amendments (2009 and 2013) and replace these with the proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest land use objectives established by legal order pursuant to Section 934 of the Land Act and for the purposes of the Forest and Range Practices Act The proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest Order sets forest management requirements within the 64 million hectares of the Great Bear Rainforest (see schedule A in the proposed Order) The proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest Order addresses First Nations cultural heritage resources freshwater ecosystems and habitats landscape and stand level biodiversity and bear habitat Together the proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest Order and potential BMTAsconservancy will meet the goals of reserving 70 of historic old growth forests with some minor exceptions while maintaining a viable forest industry in the Great Bear Rainforest
In areas designated as BMTAs commercial logging and hydro-electric power generation linked to the power grid would be prohibited other resource activities and land uses would remain subject to existing legal requirements The designations would only apply to provincial Crown land
Areas designated as conservancies explicitly recognize the importance of the area to First Nations for social ceremonial and cultural uses Conservancies provide for a wider range of low impact compatible economic opportunities than Class A parks however commercial logging mining and hydroelectric power generation other than local run-of-the-river projects are prohibited The designation would only apply to provincial Crown land

By Kathy OrsquoReilly-TaylorEditorPort Alice has been
dealt another blowThe Neucel Specialty
Cellulose mill in Port Alice will be closed lon-
ger than the six months previously announced The closure which began Feb 21 put about 400 people out of work
ldquoThere has been little or no upwards move-ment in the global dis-solving pulp market and forecasts indicated that the weak market price for dissolving pulp will continue through 2015 and into 2016rdquo said Chief Executive Officer Wanli Zhao in a letter to employees dated May 19
ldquoThe shareholders have evaluated this sit-
uation as well as the currently reliability of the mill and have come to the decision that in the interest of securing the long-term viability of the Mill the produc-tion curtailment will be extended into 2016rdquo Zhao said
During the curtail-ment the sharehold-ers have approved the development of a number of projects to address mechanical and operational issues that contribute to chronic poor reliability
ldquoItrsquos bad news for all
the people who were planning on going back to work in six monthsrdquo said Village of Port Alice Mayor Jan Allen adding the announce-ment did not come as a complete surprise
In the interim Village administration is ldquowork-ing hard at bringing courses here through North Island Collegerdquo Allen said
For instance the com-munity will be the host for a Building Service Worker Training course being offered July 14 to July 21

STORY IDEACall (250) 949-6225
By Hannah GriffinReporterOn a Friday evening several
cars pull into the small parking lot of the OrsquoConnor Lake Recreation Site south of Port McNeill A group of young people light a crackling fire and listen to music sprawled on a blanket They eat dinner and enjoy some drinks on the grassy lawn by the lake The scene has all the ingredients for a rowdy night in the making but by 930 pm the dying fire and a few bottles lying on the grass are all that linger at the site as the cars hastily pull out of the park-ing lot perhaps taking the young people home in time for curfews
Just outside Port Hardy is Beaver Lake Recreation Area There is a calm lake with seven stone-grey picnic tables a fire pit and a partially-submerged raft White daisies dot the long grass and a confetti-like collection of wet tissues earplugs and empty food wrappers dots the daisies Garbage is clearly visible but a single garbage can is not
Twenty-three kilometres south down the Port Alice Road is the Marble River Recreation Site Mid-afternoon a family is finishing a picnic lunch on a table and taking the remnants in a plastic bag back to their car Not everyone using public areas is as respectful of packing out what they bring in as a mound of garbage deposited in a nearby bush suggests Visitors to these sites should undisputedly be practising responsible site usage and packing out what they bring in The reality is that not everyone does It could be argued that more garbage recep-tacles at these sites would encourage some people to throw out their garbage and treat these sites with more respect According to some individuals closely involved in the care of these sites however this is a surprisingly complex issue as having garbage receptacles can actually create different kinds of problems
Greg Fletcher administrator for the Regional District of Mount Waddington (RDMW) explains that sites on the Alice Lake Loop Recreational Corridor are operated and maintained through a partnership between the RDMW Recreation Trails and Sites BC and Western Forest Products (WFP) including Marble River Beaver Lake Kathleen Lake and Devilrsquos Bath Representatives from each of the three involved groups have noted that the partner-ship has been very successful
Duncan Mactavish district recreation officer for Recreation Sites and Trails BC (Discovery Coast) explains that sites are divided into three groupings fee sites that are managed and where users are pay-ing for a service like Clint Beek non-fee sites that are also managed and user-maintained sites that are not actively managed apart from facility upgrades when needed
Fletcher explains that some of the Alice Lake Loop sites were an obligatory part of WFPrsquos tree farm licence back when they were created The district enters into a contract to help care for the sites from June until Labour Day
The district takes care of their own sites year-round but these specific Alice Lake Loop ones depend on provincial funding to offset the cost of care Kindry Mercer regional engagement officer for WFP says that throughout the year WFP provides a range of maintenance on the sites including identify-ing dangerous trees and felling them but that dur-ing the on-season it is maintained by Recreational Trails and Sites BC and the RDMW Mactavish
says that they provide garbage pick-up at some fee sites but the majority are pack in pack out Fletcher and Mactavish both note the extremely large time commitment it would take to have garbage pick-up at many sites especially when driving time to and between sites is considered
Fletcher says that a major reason these sites do not have garbage disposal is that in the past when there were more garbage disposal units they would be filled to the brim with household waste garbage that bore little resemblance to the typical waste accu-mulated from a few nights of camping or a picnic Mercer echoes this saying that historically when there were more garbage receptacles at sites they ended up being full of waste that did not seem to have any relation to site use Mactavish says that this was a major problem at Beaver Lake in particular
Another issue that involved parties have noted is the need for bear-proof containers in these areas Fletcher says that ldquothe issue is who will provide the bear-proof containersrdquo and that if sites do not have them then garbage needs to be picked up very fre-quently to minimize problems
Leaving garbage receptacles full for extended periods of time can be dangerous for both bears and people
The obvious solution may then appear to be bear-proof containers at every site yet cost is a huge impediment with a single bear bin costing around $2500 not including the cost of installation Mactavish says that their budget is already quite tight and that he would prefer to use funds for things that help improve sites-instead of counteracting user littering - things like repairing and upgrading old infrastructure like rotting picnic tables
There is the additional issue of site usage outside the June-Labour Day period that the RDMWrsquos con-tract runs for During warm spring days and even during this unusually mild past winter people still use these sites and one party of people neglecting to treat a site with respect can quickly leave it riddled with trash
Fletcher acknowledges this and says that they may be open to discussing contracts starting earlier in the spring but that an extension like this would depend on provincial funding This absence of garbage receptacles at some of these sites seems on its face to be counter intuitive to their care and maintenance Upon further investigation however it seems like the lack of waste disposal has been deemed necessary to deal with other behaviours and wildlife manage-ment
The message is clear - whether or not there is a place to deposit garbage it should not be left by users at the scenic sites that dot this region

Marine Education and Research Society (MERS) is putting the fun in fund-raising
On Sunday June 14 MERS will be converg-ing at the Seahorse Cafeacute amp Gallery in Telegraph Cove for the ldquoLove Your Oceanrdquo event from 11 am to 2 pm
Love Your Ocean is a fund-raiser for MERSrsquos whale research and a lsquofunrsquo raiser for families
The event will include games crafts music food a barbecue as well as a raffle and auction
Support from busi-nesses for raffle and silent auction items has been overwhelming with whale watching trips pottery clothing kayaking and more up for grabs says Jackie Hildering humpback whale researcher and education director for MERS
The silent-auction
will be live and on-line as well
The Marine Education and Research Society based in Alert Bay was incorporated in 2010 The association was formed to bring together existing marine research
and education projects as well as to provide a platform from which to conduct further work in the future
The directors of MERS are marine biologists and educa-tors brought together
through their work in the marine environ-ment While based here MERS directors have worked in many coun-tries and oceans
To date MERS research has been focused on projects investigating humpback and minke whales but has also included work on other baleen whales as well as on killer whales in other parts of the world
ldquoWersquore tying to have this event thatrsquos dynam-icrdquo Hildering said add-ing she will be in her dive gear as The Marine Detective and there will be a whole lot of marine puppets as well as the opportunity for people to have their photo taken in whale costumes
People will also
have the opportunity to suggest a name for a Humpback whale
Funds generated will go to support the work the group is doing in the area ldquoAn awful lot of what wersquore doing is all volunteer Therersquos a lot of valuable work being done and we have to find ways to get this work donerdquo
Hildering is grateful for the overwhelming support the society has received from the local business community for the event The eco-tourism companies have made numerous offers available she said The Seahorse Cafeacute is donat-ing the proceeds from their food sales that day to MERS
ldquoItrsquos extremely mov-ing rdquo she said

By Kathy OrsquoReilly-TaylorEditorPeople who entered
Port Hardy Secondary School June 2 would be forgiven for think-ing they had entered a construction zone
The halls rang with the sounds of saw-ing hammering and grinding as crowds of youngsters with the help of teachers and volunteers put togeth-er a personalized wooden bench
The process included students assembling the bench and cus-tomizing it with their initials cut from metal and a PHSS brand they got to burn into the wood
The event was part of a transitions pro-gram which introduced students from six area elementary schools to PHSS which they will be attending in the fall
ldquoThe bench was part of Trades Day which is an Industry Trades Authority (ITA) spon-sored event under the lsquoYes2Itrsquo programrdquo said school Counsellor Levin Prong
ldquoTrades Day is designed to inform and encourage youth to consider future trades
careersrdquo Prong said PHSS woodwork
teacher Joel Dyck and PHSS metal-work teacher Kevin McGhee designed and prepared the bench-es The Woodwork 8 and Metalwork 10-12 classes prefabricated all the pieces They also helped with the
learning process mak-ing sure the newcom-ers followed the safe practices the older students had learned during their studies at PHSS
School District 85 and local trades pro-fessionals were also invited to support and inform students throughout the pro-
cess The Trades Day also served as a fun-filled orientation dur-ing which Grade 7 students were familiar-ized with PHSS the industrial facilities and given the opportu-nity to meet with new peers with whom they will attend school next year

Hannah GriffinReporterPort McNeill-
born David Rannala is bringing relief to homeowners who have botched their houses
The Victoria-based contractor is fea-tured on Home and Garden Televisionrsquos new show ldquoI Wrecked My Houserdquo along-side comedian Steve Patterson Homeowners who have attempted to ren-ovate or fix their own houses with disastrous results are given a les-son from experts and then renovators and then put their skills to use and beautify the mistakes
Rannala owner of Rannala Construction in Victoria and a cer-tified journeyman carpenter says that he ldquoliterally just got kind of a phone call out of the bluerdquo from Ottawa-based televi-sion production com-pany Mountain Road Productions
The company cast him in the show which recently wrapped its first season air-ing now Rannala describes the experi-ence on the show as great but the schedule as hectic with 14 days straight spent shoot-ing each project and a week off in Victoria in between This schedule has allowed Rannala to cultivate a new skill ldquoworking for days on end with basically no sleeprdquo he jokes
The most challeng-ing project Rannala recalls from shooting the first season of ldquoI Wrecked My Houserdquo is the soon to be aired Hastings project a huge amount of work that needed to be com-pleted in a very short amount of time
ldquoIt was basically bulldozer baitrdquo he says
He usually works on custom high-end homes and says that the stress surround-ing the projects on the show is different because it is about fig-uring out quickly how
to move forward and improve the situation The show includes a team of skilled off-air carpenters who keep work moving when Rannala is involved in on-camera work
Rannala lived in Port McNeill until he was around seven and his father is still a resi-dent
Growing up in Port McNeill his life was full of ldquowhat you do as a kid in McNeill fires and fishingrdquo He moved to Victoria dur-ing his childhood and began an apprentice-ship right out of high school
Back in Victoria now that the show is
airing Rannala paus-es for a second while considering his long term goals
ldquoIf the sun and the stars and the moon
align we would bring the film crew to the North Islandrdquo

By Kathy OrsquoReilly-TaylorEditorA local student has
made a national splash with a science project that turns the ocean tide into electricity
Clayton Harderrsquos remarkable journey began at North Island Secondary School in Port McNeill with a project called ldquoTidal Power Pumprdquo
Harder a Grade 8 student designed and made a pump that can generate electricity using tides
ldquoWhile I was down at the docks in Port McNeill I noticed the rise and fall of the tides looked like a pump So I thought I would design a pump that would run off the tides to generate electric-ityrdquo said Clayton of the inspiration for his project
The young man is interested particularly in environmental sci-ences and finding ways to ldquostop stuff from harming the environ-mentrdquo
Harder created a
small-scale prototype which was actually able to run a light for a short period of time
This April Clayton 14 entered his proj-ect into the Northern Vancouver Island Regional Science Fair at NISS His proj-ect won the Michael Crooks Physics award The BC Hydro for Generations award and Top Overall Project award which allowed him to attend the Canada Wide Science Fair (CWSF) in Fredericton New Brunswick
Clayton had to fund-raise over $2000 for this trip said his mom Kathy and was sup-ported by North Island Chipping the Rotary Clubs of Port Hardy and Port McNeill the Lions Clubs of Port Hardy and Port McNeill Lemare Lake Logging Ltd and Strategic Forest Management
NISS Foods Teacher Ricki McCrae pur-chased the ingredients and organized a bake sale and vegetable bundles and firewood were also sold as a fund-raiser
ldquoThey and many others all helped make this trip possiblerdquo said Kathy
ldquoIt made me happy that so many people cared about the science fair and helping people to go thererdquo Clayton said
From May 9 to May 17 Clayton attended this fair along with 500
other kids from across Canada whose projects placed in their regional science fairs There were only 65 projects from BC that made it to the CWSF That total was from the senior intermediate and junior levels combined
The week included a day of judging from 830 am to 530 pm where Clayton was interviewed thoroughly by over 20 different judges There was also two and a half days of public viewing which over 4000 people attended
The event wasnrsquot all work a day was set aside for the kids to go to various sites in the Fredericton area Clayton was able to spend a day at the Bay of Fundy
Friday May 15 featured an awards day ceremony where Clayton was pre-sented with a Silver Medal of Excellence and the Junior Energy Challenge Award The silver medal awards come with a $2000 scholarship to Western University
ldquoThis is a huge achievement as less than one per cent of the science fair projects make it to the Canada Wide Science Fair and out of those less than one third receive any type of awardrdquo said Kathy
ldquoAs parents we are very proud of his accomplishments but we are most proud of who he is He is grow-
ing up to be a fine respectful young man That is what is impor-tantrdquo she said
ldquoWersquove seen increas-ing growth with all the projectsrdquo said Rena Sweeney chair of the Northern Vancouver Island Regional Science Fair Committee
Clayton specifically is ldquolooking at ways to apply his projects to solve real world prob-lemsrdquo Sweeney said
ldquoWersquore looking for-ward to see the direc-tion hersquos going itrdquo she said
And his mind is already turning
Although he is just in the initial stages Clayton hopes to build enough pumps to store energy on a Tesla bat-tery to power a home
While he is think-ing about the future Clayton also has an illustrious past
His forays into sci-ence fairs began in Grade 6 when his project was top proj-ect overall but he was too young to attend the CWSF
In 2014 Claytonrsquos project won top overall project once again and he attended the CWSF event which was held in Windsor Ontario There he won a Bronze Medal of Excellence
Science skills obvi-ously run in the family
Claytonrsquos brother Trevor won top over-all project awards in 2011 and 2012 and attended the CWSF in Toronto and then in Charlottetown PEI

By Hannah GriffinReporterThe Tri-Port
Speedway Association kicked off the 2015 season with a race event on June 7
Stock car racing enthusiasts flocked to the wooden stands above the track and lined the top of the hill on picnic blankets and in lawn chairs
Shortly after 1 pm drivers of the six entered cars gathered in the centre of the clay track to hear asso-ciation President Dan Stewart outline what each flag means event rules and regulations as well as to offer his hopes for the day
ldquoThe best thing you
guys can do is expect to lose every event this yearrdquo he said to the gathered drivers explaining that safety was a major priority
ldquoWe all want to go home in one piecerdquo
Engines began to roar as racers began the trophy dash four laps around the track
Announcer Ken Fraser explained that their stock car events typically run about two to three hours and are composed of three dis-tinct events Following the trophy dash there are two heat races one is a time trial and the second is based on points from that time trial
The last event is
based on points stand-ings from throughout the day
President Dan Stewart and Announcer Ken Fraser explained that the hot dry weath-er it was 18 degrees on race day contributed to some issues with dust They mitigate the problem by spraying down throughout the event but it just evapo-rates
The Tri-Port Speedway Association has another event on June 21 at 1 pm and the Dust Bowl Weekend is set for Aug 22 and 23 Anyone interested in volun-teering can contact organizer Teresa Lee at (250) 949-7273

want to miss the North Island Timing Associationrsquos summer series that promises to provide a million thrills a minute
On June 20-21 the annual Rumble on the Runway will be taking place at the Port McNeill Airport The race is one of three scheduled for this summer The others will be held July 18-19 and Aug 22-23
ldquoEach race day we typically see 50 to 75 carsrdquo said Acting President Chris Sharpe with about 15 from the North island
and the remaining vehicles from Campbell River Courtenay Nanaimo Ladysmith Duncan Shawnigan Lake Victoria Port Alberni Tofino and Powell River
There are typically three class-es of car at the event Sportsman (street carsmini vans) Pro which is a faster car some street cars but mostly dedicated race cars and Super Pro which is basically the same as Pro class but uses ldquoelectronicsrdquo in enginetransmission control
The Rumble on the Runway began in 2008 Sharpe said when ldquoa couple guys were look-ing to promote the sport and
bring a new influx of people to the North Islandrdquo
North Island Timing Association is the only drag rac-ing association on Vancouver Island that runs three large 18 mile bracket races every race season Port Alberni also has a 14 mile track also at a airport but it is only raced on one week-end per year
ldquoWersquore excited to have a actu-al 18 mile track that is recog-nized by the National Hot Rod Associationrdquo said Sharpe
Spectator admission is $5 per person at the gate and there is a concession on site for breakfast and lunch

an event that has run for nearly three decades will have golfers swinging their clubs in the friendly weekend event June 20 and 21
The tournament hosted by Seven Hills Golf and Country Club has three flights taking place Saturday morning Saturday afternoon and Sunday
There are prizes for everyone given out Sunday evening and dinner will be provided There is generally an allotment of 144 golf-ers and all prizes are donated by community businesses
Apart from being a sporting event the tournament is notable in that all profits go towards providing scholarships for local stu-dents through Port Hardy Secondary School and North Island Secondary School In pre-vious years the tournament proceeds went towards supporting local people in need and charities and for the previous three years has been supporting scholarships In 2014 six students were recipients of these scholar-ships
Critical to the success of this event is contri-butions by sponsors and any local organiza-tions or businesses interested in doing so may contact Bill Gray at 250-949-7623 or Lito Pineda at 250-956-5234 Donations may be dropped off at the WFP Port McNeill office or can be picked up by committee members (found on the event Facebook page)

This report marks the end of the spring session in the Legislature The session left the perception it had been driven by a government bereft of ideas but desperate to stay in con-trol The last few days of debate in the Legislature are a microcosm of the manipulation of the parliamentary system by the BC Liberals
An example of the BC Liberalrsquos manipulation of the system for their own ends was the discussion around the Government Information Act The first iteration it was so badly drafted that the government itself tabled pages of amendments to be debated at the committee stage Even the title of the bill was amended to the Information Management Act We were opposed to the Act ndash which allows for an increasingly oral approach in government business in other words leaving no traceable records The legislation does not mandate a duty for the government to keep written records which means it is impossible to trace information We had seven amendments of our own which were defeated In the end the committee stage during which all these changes were introduced and debated and the bill supposedly analyzed lasted a mere 50 minutes
We spent a couple of Question Periods asking about need-ed changes to the system for children in government care who ldquoage outrdquo at 19 leaving them on their own with no family or other supports This came into shocking perspective when a young woman who had been in government care nearly her whole life who had moved 50 times and who had been abused killed herself after she left care Neither the Premier nor the minister responsible would commit to making any changes to prevent such cases happening again
The debates on bills finished early and the final two days were given over to the budget estimates of the office of the Premier This seems like a fruitless exercise as the Premier uses every opportunity either to spin or simply avoid answer-
ing For example when John Horgan the leader of the opposition asked about why she did not con-firm George Abbott as head of the Treaty Commission she started to talk about her ldquoaspirational goalsrdquo on LNG and job creation He asked that direct question four times and never got an answer
I was able to recognize School District 84rsquos Aboriginal Education Enhancement Agreement in the Legislature It was an honour to attend the event in Zeballos and to share with other MLAs the Districtrsquos achievement
I have been appointed to the Special Committee to Appoint a Merit Commissioner which will entail some extra work back in Victoria The Merit Commissionerrsquos job is to ensure that all public service appointments are based on ability read-ing some of the reports from previous years it is clear this was not always the case
We are not sure when the Legislature will resume sitting We are supposed to have a session in the fall for two months which might happen The government has indicated it wants to move on some legislation to speed up the sell-off of LNG to foreign companies
With the summer recess I will be busy both in the constitu-ency and through my critic portfolio working on ways to try to improve our transportation infrastructure and make BC Ferries work for us I can always be reached by email Clairetrevenamlalegbcca by phone in Campbell River on 250 287 5100 in Port Hardy on 250 949 9473 or 1 866 387 5100 toll free Feel free to friend me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter clairetrevena

RCMP lawsuit in courtWomen who say they were harassed and discrimi-
nated against during their service with the RCMP are in BC Supreme Court this week attempting to certify a class action lawsuit against the force
The certification hearing began Monday and the proposed class action would include 362 current and former officers and civilian employees across the country
The case was launched in 2012 by Janet Merlo a 19-year officer with the Nanaimo RCMP who was among the first officers to go public with allegations
Lawyer David Klein said the common thread among the complainants is harassment bullying and discrim-ination over an extended period of time
More women would be able to join the case if a judge agrees there was a systemic problem and certi-fies the class action
New election for doctorsA new election has been ordered for the presidency
of Doctors of BC after a recount determined the first vote ended in a tie
Dr Brian Day a leading proponent of more private health care had been declared the winner last week by a single vote
Officials at Doctors of BC (formerly the BC Medical Association) said the initial tally failed to count one vote for Dayrsquos challenger Dr Alan Ruddiman
The run-off vote between the two takes place from June 5 to 18
BC Health Minister Terry Lake said last week he was unsure whether he could meet with Day as presi-dent of the organization because the government is in a court battle with Dayrsquos Cambie Surgical Centre over whether the federal ban on doctors privately billing patients violates the Charter of Rights and Freedoms
Site aids youth lsquoaging outrsquoThe province has unveiled a new website designed
to help teens in foster care prepare to prepare for life without government support when they turn 19 and ldquoage outrdquo of care
The site agedoutcom was designed by former foster teens to connect with vulnerable youth and showcases services and supports to help make the transition
It includes videos of former youth in care discuss-ing real world challenges and gaming ldquoquestsrdquo where youth earn rewards by completing challenges like renting an apartment getting a bank account prepar-ing for a job interview or dealing with an abusive relationship
ldquoHow do I get a jobrdquo ldquoWhere am I going to liverdquo These are the types of questions we all faced when we became adultsrdquo Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux said ldquoBut for those in the care in the ministry the transition can be much more challengingrdquo
About 700 young people age out of government care each year

Port Alice is a lovely community

Dear EditorThe Village of Port Alice is indeed one of the most beau-
tiful places on earth It was nice to read Debra Lynnrsquos letter of appreciation
about our lovely community in the May 28th edition of the Gazette
The North Island as a whole is a region blessed with natural beauty rich in First Nationsrsquo culture and is one of the best places on earth to explore and enjoy the wilder-ness by land lake river or sea
Our region is also home to a busy forestry industry which provides us with jobs and gives us access to a vast network of back country recreational sites
The Neucel Specialty Cellulose Pulp Mill in Port Alice
is part of the forestry industry and has helped sustain fami-lies and community services for generations
Itrsquos true that the mill is on a curtailment but it is not shut down as was stated in Debrarsquos letter
Most of the millrsquos workforce is currently laid off and therersquos no question that this is a tough time for Port Alice and for Neucel employees throughout our North Island communities But we look forward to seeing the mill get back up and running in 2016
And yes we are still the Gateway to the Wild West Coast - come and visit Port Alice anytime
Yours truly Mayor Jan Allen

Port Hardy Harbour Authorityrsquos labour management contract has been awarded to
Port Hardy compa-ny Seaway Ventures Ltd who succeed Pacificus Biological
Services Ltd in the role
Staff appointed to the facilitation of
Harbour Services have been in the marine industry on the North Island for over 15 years
Gail Bridger will be continuing in her role as accounts manager with the Port Hardy Harbour Authority under Seaway Ventures Ltd as a result of her exem-plary work over the past five years
Angela Smith of Seaway Ventures will aid the team with her skills in admin-istration and Special Operations
Harbour Manager and primary of Seaway Ventures Ltd Leah Robinson said ldquoa positive service shift will be the focus of first term opera-tions
ldquoWe are interested in supporting the existing users of the Harbour and meet-ing their needs while looking for manners in which basic har-bour services can be enhanced Finding fiscally-responsible solutions for har-bour development are additional goals of this term There are no current plans to change any of the existing service rates and we remind
all users that finance and rate changes are decisions made at the council and admin-istrative level at the District of Port Hardy
ldquoCompared to all other marinas on the North Island we continue to offer the lowest commercial and pleasure vessel moorage rates avail-able with no sea-sonal increases At the harbour office we look forward to engaging people in a constructive way and are excited to further enhance the value that commercial rec-reational and general citizens see in the District of Port Hardy marine operationsrdquo said Robinson
Marine facilities have been identified as an area for eco-nomic growth on the North Island and constructive input from harbour users is appreciated Input and suggestions can be sent to Bridger who can be reached by email at phfloatscablerocketcom or letters can be depos-ited in the sugges-tions box during office hours Monday to Friday 8 am to 4 pm
Gazette staffMalcolm Island
has won an award for Excellence in the RuralSmall Town Planning category from the Canadian Institute of Planners
The island with a population of 613 per-manent residents and 125 seasonal ones collaborated with EcoPlan a Vancouver-based urban plan-ning firm on a proj-ect named Growing Malcolm Island
The project was born out of conversa-tions among a group of residents more than three years ago about interest in community and economy devel-
opment according to the project website
The motivation for these discussions was growing concern over both diminishing pop-ulation and decreasing business on Malcolm Island
The first meeting on April 5 2012 led to four more all well attended
This project is unique in that it was initiated led and implemented by the community a com-munity that exists without strong local governance
The Canadian Institute of Planners noticed the grassroots approach to bringing
citizens together to help support the local economy and award-ed the distinction to Malcolm Island
Previous winners in the RuralSmall Town category are Maple Creek Saskatchewan (2014) Trinity Newfoundland and Labrador (2013) Orillia Ontario (2013) and the District of Peachland British Columbia (2012)
The Canadian Institute of Planners presents annual Awards for Planning Excellence that hon-our projects judged on their excellence innovation impact on the profession imple-mentation potential and overall presenta-tion

Port McNeill has made great strides in getting its financial house in order
ldquoBasically the town has come a long waysrdquo said Treasurer Dan Rodin at a recent council meeting According to its audited financial statements at the end of 2014 the town had $577000 in the bank com-pared to an overdraft of $295000 at
the end of 2013 said Rodin The townrsquos long-term debt has also been paid down by $101000
In 2013 the town had an operat-ing deficit of $96163 In 2014 the Town had an operating surplus of $751000
In 2014 the town received $200000 from the North Island Community Forest which went into a reserve ldquoThe Community Forest partnership has basically paid for itselfrdquo said Rodin

RDMW Knot plans continueBy Hannah GriffinReporterThe invasive plant species knot-
weed is growing out of control in the North Island The Regional District of Mount Waddington (RDMW) is in the process of developing a Knotweed Eradication Program Pat English RDMW manager of eco-nomic development says that the district is applying for funding from the Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovationrsquos Job Creation Partnership and is also partner-ing with the District of Port Hardy the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure BC Hydro Western Forest Products and the Town of Port McNeill English explains that there is knotweed in many areas of the region with the highest concentration likely in Coal Harbour with Port Hardy also heavily affected
Knotweed spreads rapidly through root systems and can be detrimental to biodiversity and increase the risk of soil erosion ldquoThe need for the program is to address the potential liability if knotweed gets into the water and sewage systemsrdquo English says adding that it can damage this infrastructure
English says that there are two methods for eradicating knotweed One is to inject a pesticide directly into the roots which kills the root system and the other is to cut it back over the course of a few years eventually killing it off He explains that discussion so far has proposed
Port McNeill as a training ground for crews as there are only four to five outcroppings there and the issue is not as serious as in other areas
At the June 1 Town of Port McNeill council meeting a May 13 letter was discussed from English and Patrick Donaghy RDMWrsquos manager of oper-ations
They asked for a letter of support from Port McNeill to include in their funding application
Councillor Graham MacDonald was against the idea of training occur-ring in Port McNeill ldquoTheyrsquore going to come here and theyrsquore going to use chemicals and Irsquom dead against itrdquo he said adding that he feels focus should be on eradicating knotweed in Coal Harbour
English says that it is important to remember that the pesticides used in the eradication program are all licensed and permitted and will be administered by crews qualified by the province Crews would be tar-geting outbreaks on municipal prop-erty or rights of way where munici-pal infrastructure goes There would only be work done on private land if permission had previously been obtained
Mayor Shirley Ackland suggested asking for more information on the program and how it would affect Port McNeill including specific plans to deal with the knotweed and if and what kinds of chemicals would be used in the process The issue was tabled until the June 15 meeting

The Ministry of Forests Lands and Natural Resource Operations is considering establishing up to eight new Biodiversity Mining and Tourism Areas (BMTAs) under the Environment and Land Use Act For King Island the ministry is looking at the possibility of establishing a conservancy under the Park Act instead of a BMTA These areas would comprise approximately 295000 hectares of Crown land
The ministry is also proposing to cancel the 2007 South Central Coast Order and Central and North Coast Order and all their amendments (2009 and 2013) and replace these with the proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest land use objectives established by legal order pursuant to Section 934 of the Land Act and for the purposes of the Forest and Range Practices Act The proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest Order sets forest management requirements within the 64 million hectares of the Great Bear Rainforest (see schedule A in the proposed Order) The proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest Order addresses First Nations cultural heritage resources freshwater ecosystems and habitats landscape and stand level biodiversity and bear habitat Together the proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest Order and potential BMTAsconservancy will meet the goals of reserving 70 of historic old growth forests with some minor exceptions while maintaining a viable forest industry in the Great Bear Rainforest
In areas designated as BMTAs commercial logging and hydro-electric power generation linked to the power grid would be prohibited other resource activities and land uses would remain subject to existing legal requirements The designations would only apply to provincial Crown land
Areas designated as conservancies explicitly recognize the importance of the area to First Nations for social ceremonial and cultural uses Conservancies provide for a wider range of low impact compatible economic opportunities than Class A parks however commercial logging mining and hydroelectric power generation other than local run-of-the-river projects are prohibited The designation would only apply to provincial Crown land
The public is invited to comment on the proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest order and potential BMTAsconservancy June 11 2015 to August 10 2015
Copies of the proposed order and associated maps and maps of the potential BMTAsconservancy are available online at httpswwwforgovbccaTASBSLRPGBR_BMTA_LUORhtml

dealt another blowThe Neucel Specialty
Cellulose mill in Port Alice will be closed lon-
ger than the six months previously announced The closure which began Feb 21 put about 400 people out of work
ldquoThere has been little or no upwards move-ment in the global dis-solving pulp market and forecasts indicated that the weak market price for dissolving pulp will continue through 2015 and into 2016rdquo said Chief Executive Officer Wanli Zhao in a letter to employees dated May 19
ldquoThe shareholders have evaluated this sit-
uation as well as the currently reliability of the mill and have come to the decision that in the interest of securing the long-term viability of the Mill the produc-tion curtailment will be extended into 2016rdquo Zhao said
During the curtail-ment the sharehold-ers have approved the development of a number of projects to address mechanical and operational issues that contribute to chronic poor reliability
ldquoItrsquos bad news for all
the people who were planning on going back to work in six monthsrdquo said Village of Port Alice Mayor Jan Allen adding the announce-ment did not come as a complete surprise
In the interim Village administration is ldquowork-ing hard at bringing courses here through North Island Collegerdquo Allen said
For instance the com-munity will be the host for a Building Service Worker Training course being offered July 14 to July 21

STORY IDEACall (250) 949-6225
By Hannah GriffinReporterOn a Friday evening several
cars pull into the small parking lot of the OrsquoConnor Lake Recreation Site south of Port McNeill A group of young people light a crackling fire and listen to music sprawled on a blanket They eat dinner and enjoy some drinks on the grassy lawn by the lake The scene has all the ingredients for a rowdy night in the making but by 930 pm the dying fire and a few bottles lying on the grass are all that linger at the site as the cars hastily pull out of the park-ing lot perhaps taking the young people home in time for curfews
Just outside Port Hardy is Beaver Lake Recreation Area There is a calm lake with seven stone-grey picnic tables a fire pit and a partially-submerged raft White daisies dot the long grass and a confetti-like collection of wet tissues earplugs and empty food wrappers dots the daisies Garbage is clearly visible but a single garbage can is not
Twenty-three kilometres south down the Port Alice Road is the Marble River Recreation Site Mid-afternoon a family is finishing a picnic lunch on a table and taking the remnants in a plastic bag back to their car Not everyone using public areas is as respectful of packing out what they bring in as a mound of garbage deposited in a nearby bush suggests Visitors to these sites should undisputedly be practising responsible site usage and packing out what they bring in The reality is that not everyone does It could be argued that more garbage recep-tacles at these sites would encourage some people to throw out their garbage and treat these sites with more respect According to some individuals closely involved in the care of these sites however this is a surprisingly complex issue as having garbage receptacles can actually create different kinds of problems
Greg Fletcher administrator for the Regional District of Mount Waddington (RDMW) explains that sites on the Alice Lake Loop Recreational Corridor are operated and maintained through a partnership between the RDMW Recreation Trails and Sites BC and Western Forest Products (WFP) including Marble River Beaver Lake Kathleen Lake and Devilrsquos Bath Representatives from each of the three involved groups have noted that the partner-ship has been very successful
Duncan Mactavish district recreation officer for Recreation Sites and Trails BC (Discovery Coast) explains that sites are divided into three groupings fee sites that are managed and where users are pay-ing for a service like Clint Beek non-fee sites that are also managed and user-maintained sites that are not actively managed apart from facility upgrades when needed
Fletcher explains that some of the Alice Lake Loop sites were an obligatory part of WFPrsquos tree farm licence back when they were created The district enters into a contract to help care for the sites from June until Labour Day
The district takes care of their own sites year-round but these specific Alice Lake Loop ones depend on provincial funding to offset the cost of care Kindry Mercer regional engagement officer for WFP says that throughout the year WFP provides a range of maintenance on the sites including identify-ing dangerous trees and felling them but that dur-ing the on-season it is maintained by Recreational Trails and Sites BC and the RDMW Mactavish
says that they provide garbage pick-up at some fee sites but the majority are pack in pack out Fletcher and Mactavish both note the extremely large time commitment it would take to have garbage pick-up at many sites especially when driving time to and between sites is considered
Fletcher says that a major reason these sites do not have garbage disposal is that in the past when there were more garbage disposal units they would be filled to the brim with household waste garbage that bore little resemblance to the typical waste accu-mulated from a few nights of camping or a picnic Mercer echoes this saying that historically when there were more garbage receptacles at sites they ended up being full of waste that did not seem to have any relation to site use Mactavish says that this was a major problem at Beaver Lake in particular
Another issue that involved parties have noted is the need for bear-proof containers in these areas Fletcher says that ldquothe issue is who will provide the bear-proof containersrdquo and that if sites do not have them then garbage needs to be picked up very fre-quently to minimize problems
Leaving garbage receptacles full for extended periods of time can be dangerous for both bears and people
The obvious solution may then appear to be bear-proof containers at every site yet cost is a huge impediment with a single bear bin costing around $2500 not including the cost of installation Mactavish says that their budget is already quite tight and that he would prefer to use funds for things that help improve sites-instead of counteracting user littering - things like repairing and upgrading old infrastructure like rotting picnic tables
There is the additional issue of site usage outside the June-Labour Day period that the RDMWrsquos con-tract runs for During warm spring days and even during this unusually mild past winter people still use these sites and one party of people neglecting to treat a site with respect can quickly leave it riddled with trash
Fletcher acknowledges this and says that they may be open to discussing contracts starting earlier in the spring but that an extension like this would depend on provincial funding This absence of garbage receptacles at some of these sites seems on its face to be counter intuitive to their care and maintenance Upon further investigation however it seems like the lack of waste disposal has been deemed necessary to deal with other behaviours and wildlife manage-ment
The message is clear - whether or not there is a place to deposit garbage it should not be left by users at the scenic sites that dot this region

The directors of MERS are marine biologists and educa-tors brought together
through their work in the marine environ-ment While based here MERS directors have worked in many coun-tries and oceans
To date MERS research has been focused on projects investigating humpback and minke whales but has also included work on other baleen whales as well as on killer whales in other parts of the world
ldquoWersquore tying to have this event thatrsquos dynam-icrdquo Hildering said add-ing she will be in her dive gear as The Marine Detective and there will be a whole lot of marine puppets as well as the opportunity for people to have their photo taken in whale costumes
People will also
have the opportunity to suggest a name for a Humpback whale
Funds generated will go to support the work the group is doing in the area ldquoAn awful lot of what wersquore doing is all volunteer Therersquos a lot of valuable work being done and we have to find ways to get this work donerdquo
Hildering is grateful for the overwhelming support the society has received from the local business community for the event The eco-tourism companies have made numerous offers available she said The Seahorse Cafeacute is donat-ing the proceeds from their food sales that day to MERS
ldquoItrsquos extremely mov-ing rdquo she said

Port Hardy Secondary School June 2 would be forgiven for think-ing they had entered a construction zone
The halls rang with the sounds of saw-ing hammering and grinding as crowds of youngsters with the help of teachers and volunteers put togeth-er a personalized wooden bench
The process included students assembling the bench and cus-tomizing it with their initials cut from metal and a PHSS brand they got to burn into the wood
The event was part of a transitions pro-gram which introduced students from six area elementary schools to PHSS which they will be attending in the fall
ldquoThe bench was part of Trades Day which is an Industry Trades Authority (ITA) spon-sored event under the lsquoYes2Itrsquo programrdquo said school Counsellor Levin Prong
ldquoTrades Day is designed to inform and encourage youth to consider future trades
careersrdquo Prong said PHSS woodwork
teacher Joel Dyck and PHSS metal-work teacher Kevin McGhee designed and prepared the bench-es The Woodwork 8 and Metalwork 10-12 classes prefabricated all the pieces They also helped with the
learning process mak-ing sure the newcom-ers followed the safe practices the older students had learned during their studies at PHSS
School District 85 and local trades pro-fessionals were also invited to support and inform students throughout the pro-
cess The Trades Day also served as a fun-filled orientation dur-ing which Grade 7 students were familiar-ized with PHSS the industrial facilities and given the opportu-nity to meet with new peers with whom they will attend school next year

Hannah GriffinReporterPort McNeill-
born David Rannala is bringing relief to homeowners who have botched their houses
The Victoria-based contractor is fea-tured on Home and Garden Televisionrsquos new show ldquoI Wrecked My Houserdquo along-side comedian Steve Patterson Homeowners who have attempted to ren-ovate or fix their own houses with disastrous results are given a les-son from experts and then renovators and then put their skills to use and beautify the mistakes
Rannala owner of Rannala Construction in Victoria and a cer-tified journeyman carpenter says that he ldquoliterally just got kind of a phone call out of the bluerdquo from Ottawa-based televi-sion production com-pany Mountain Road Productions
The company cast him in the show which recently wrapped its first season air-ing now Rannala describes the experi-ence on the show as great but the schedule as hectic with 14 days straight spent shoot-ing each project and a week off in Victoria in between This schedule has allowed Rannala to cultivate a new skill ldquoworking for days on end with basically no sleeprdquo he jokes
The most challeng-ing project Rannala recalls from shooting the first season of ldquoI Wrecked My Houserdquo is the soon to be aired Hastings project a huge amount of work that needed to be com-pleted in a very short amount of time
ldquoIt was basically bulldozer baitrdquo he says
He usually works on custom high-end homes and says that the stress surround-ing the projects on the show is different because it is about fig-uring out quickly how
to move forward and improve the situation The show includes a team of skilled off-air carpenters who keep work moving when Rannala is involved in on-camera work
Rannala lived in Port McNeill until he was around seven and his father is still a resi-dent
Growing up in Port McNeill his life was full of ldquowhat you do as a kid in McNeill fires and fishingrdquo He moved to Victoria dur-ing his childhood and began an apprentice-ship right out of high school
Back in Victoria now that the show is
airing Rannala paus-es for a second while considering his long term goals
ldquoIf the sun and the stars and the moon
align we would bring the film crew to the North Islandrdquo
New episodes air Tuesday at 10 pm Eastern and Pacific

By Kathy OrsquoReilly-TaylorEditorA local student has
made a national splash with a science project that turns the ocean tide into electricity
Clayton Harderrsquos remarkable journey began at North Island Secondary School in Port McNeill with a project called ldquoTidal Power Pumprdquo
Harder a Grade 8 student designed and made a pump that can generate electricity using tides
ldquoWhile I was down at the docks in Port McNeill I noticed the rise and fall of the tides looked like a pump So I thought I would design a pump that would run off the tides to generate electric-ityrdquo said Clayton of the inspiration for his project
The young man is interested particularly in environmental sci-ences and finding ways to ldquostop stuff from harming the environ-mentrdquo
Harder created a
small-scale prototype which was actually able to run a light for a short period of time
This April Clayton 14 entered his proj-ect into the Northern Vancouver Island Regional Science Fair at NISS His proj-ect won the Michael Crooks Physics award The BC Hydro for Generations award and Top Overall Project award which allowed him to attend the Canada Wide Science Fair (CWSF) in Fredericton New Brunswick
Clayton had to fund-raise over $2000 for this trip said his mom Kathy and was sup-ported by North Island Chipping the Rotary Clubs of Port Hardy and Port McNeill the Lions Clubs of Port Hardy and Port McNeill Lemare Lake Logging Ltd and Strategic Forest Management
NISS Foods Teacher Ricki McCrae pur-chased the ingredients and organized a bake sale and vegetable bundles and firewood were also sold as a fund-raiser
ldquoThey and many others all helped make this trip possiblerdquo said Kathy
ldquoIt made me happy that so many people cared about the science fair and helping people to go thererdquo Clayton said
From May 9 to May 17 Clayton attended this fair along with 500
other kids from across Canada whose projects placed in their regional science fairs There were only 65 projects from BC that made it to the CWSF That total was from the senior intermediate and junior levels combined
The week included a day of judging from 830 am to 530 pm where Clayton was interviewed thoroughly by over 20 different judges There was also two and a half days of public viewing which over 4000 people attended
The event wasnrsquot all work a day was set aside for the kids to go to various sites in the Fredericton area Clayton was able to spend a day at the Bay of Fundy
Friday May 15 featured an awards day ceremony where Clayton was pre-sented with a Silver Medal of Excellence and the Junior Energy Challenge Award The silver medal awards come with a $2000 scholarship to Western University
ldquoThis is a huge achievement as less than one per cent of the science fair projects make it to the Canada Wide Science Fair and out of those less than one third receive any type of awardrdquo said Kathy
ldquoAs parents we are very proud of his accomplishments but we are most proud of who he is He is grow-
ing up to be a fine respectful young man That is what is impor-tantrdquo she said
ldquoWersquove seen increas-ing growth with all the projectsrdquo said Rena Sweeney chair of the Northern Vancouver Island Regional Science Fair Committee
Clayton specifically is ldquolooking at ways to apply his projects to solve real world prob-lemsrdquo Sweeney said
ldquoWersquore looking for-ward to see the direc-tion hersquos going itrdquo she said
And his mind is already turning
Although he is just in the initial stages Clayton hopes to build enough pumps to store energy on a Tesla bat-tery to power a home
While he is think-ing about the future Clayton also has an illustrious past
His forays into sci-ence fairs began in Grade 6 when his project was top proj-ect overall but he was too young to attend the CWSF
In 2014 Claytonrsquos project won top overall project once again and he attended the CWSF event which was held in Windsor Ontario There he won a Bronze Medal of Excellence
Science skills obvi-ously run in the family
Claytonrsquos brother Trevor won top over-all project awards in 2011 and 2012 and attended the CWSF in Toronto and then in Charlottetown PEI

By Hannah GriffinReporterThe Tri-Port
Speedway Association kicked off the 2015 season with a race event on June 7
Stock car racing enthusiasts flocked to the wooden stands above the track and lined the top of the hill on picnic blankets and in lawn chairs
Shortly after 1 pm drivers of the six entered cars gathered in the centre of the clay track to hear asso-ciation President Dan Stewart outline what each flag means event rules and regulations as well as to offer his hopes for the day
ldquoThe best thing you
guys can do is expect to lose every event this yearrdquo he said to the gathered drivers explaining that safety was a major priority
ldquoWe all want to go home in one piecerdquo
Engines began to roar as racers began the trophy dash four laps around the track
Announcer Ken Fraser explained that their stock car events typically run about two to three hours and are composed of three dis-tinct events Following the trophy dash there are two heat races one is a time trial and the second is based on points from that time trial
The last event is
based on points stand-ings from throughout the day
President Dan Stewart and Announcer Ken Fraser explained that the hot dry weath-er it was 18 degrees on race day contributed to some issues with dust They mitigate the problem by spraying down throughout the event but it just evapo-rates
The Tri-Port Speedway Association has another event on June 21 at 1 pm and the Dust Bowl Weekend is set for Aug 22 and 23 Anyone interested in volun-teering can contact organizer Teresa Lee at (250) 949-7273

want to miss the North Island Timing Associationrsquos summer series that promises to provide a million thrills a minute
On June 20-21 the annual Rumble on the Runway will be taking place at the Port McNeill Airport The race is one of three scheduled for this summer The others will be held July 18-19 and Aug 22-23
ldquoEach race day we typically see 50 to 75 carsrdquo said Acting President Chris Sharpe with about 15 from the North island
and the remaining vehicles from Campbell River Courtenay Nanaimo Ladysmith Duncan Shawnigan Lake Victoria Port Alberni Tofino and Powell River
There are typically three class-es of car at the event Sportsman (street carsmini vans) Pro which is a faster car some street cars but mostly dedicated race cars and Super Pro which is basically the same as Pro class but uses ldquoelectronicsrdquo in enginetransmission control
The Rumble on the Runway began in 2008 Sharpe said when ldquoa couple guys were look-ing to promote the sport and
bring a new influx of people to the North Islandrdquo
North Island Timing Association is the only drag rac-ing association on Vancouver Island that runs three large 18 mile bracket races every race season Port Alberni also has a 14 mile track also at a airport but it is only raced on one week-end per year
ldquoWersquore excited to have a actu-al 18 mile track that is recog-nized by the National Hot Rod Associationrdquo said Sharpe
Spectator admission is $5 per person at the gate and there is a concession on site for breakfast and lunch

an event that has run for nearly three decades will have golfers swinging their clubs in the friendly weekend event June 20 and 21
The tournament hosted by Seven Hills Golf and Country Club has three flights taking place Saturday morning Saturday afternoon and Sunday
There are prizes for everyone given out Sunday evening and dinner will be provided There is generally an allotment of 144 golf-ers and all prizes are donated by community businesses
Apart from being a sporting event the tournament is notable in that all profits go towards providing scholarships for local stu-dents through Port Hardy Secondary School and North Island Secondary School In pre-vious years the tournament proceeds went towards supporting local people in need and charities and for the previous three years has been supporting scholarships In 2014 six students were recipients of these scholar-ships
Critical to the success of this event is contri-butions by sponsors and any local organiza-tions or businesses interested in doing so may contact Bill Gray at 250-949-7623 or Lito Pineda at 250-956-5234 Donations may be dropped off at the WFP Port McNeill office or can be picked up by committee members (found on the event Facebook page)

Port Alice is a lovely community
Local works7x2

Dear EditorThe Village of Port Alice is indeed one of the most beau-
tiful places on earth It was nice to read Debra Lynnrsquos letter of appreciation
about our lovely community in the May 28th edition of the Gazette
The North Island as a whole is a region blessed with natural beauty rich in First Nationsrsquo culture and is one of the best places on earth to explore and enjoy the wilder-ness by land lake river or sea
Our region is also home to a busy forestry industry which provides us with jobs and gives us access to a vast network of back country recreational sites
The Neucel Specialty Cellulose Pulp Mill in Port Alice
is part of the forestry industry and has helped sustain fami-lies and community services for generations
Itrsquos true that the mill is on a curtailment but it is not shut down as was stated in Debrarsquos letter
Most of the millrsquos workforce is currently laid off and therersquos no question that this is a tough time for Port Alice and for Neucel employees throughout our North Island communities But we look forward to seeing the mill get back up and running in 2016
And yes we are still the Gateway to the Wild West Coast - come and visit Port Alice anytime
Yours truly Mayor Jan Allen

Port Hardy Harbour Authorityrsquos labour management contract has been awarded to
Port Hardy compa-ny Seaway Ventures Ltd who succeed Pacificus Biological
Services Ltd in the role
Staff appointed to the facilitation of
Harbour Services have been in the marine industry on the North Island for over 15 years
Gail Bridger will be continuing in her role as accounts manager with the Port Hardy Harbour Authority under Seaway Ventures Ltd as a result of her exem-plary work over the past five years
Angela Smith of Seaway Ventures will aid the team with her skills in admin-istration and Special Operations
Harbour Manager and primary of Seaway Ventures Ltd Leah Robinson said ldquoa positive service shift will be the focus of first term opera-tions
ldquoWe are interested in supporting the existing users of the Harbour and meet-ing their needs while looking for manners in which basic har-bour services can be enhanced Finding fiscally-responsible solutions for har-bour development are additional goals of this term There are no current plans to change any of the existing service rates and we remind
all users that finance and rate changes are decisions made at the council and admin-istrative level at the District of Port Hardy
ldquoCompared to all other marinas on the North Island we continue to offer the lowest commercial and pleasure vessel moorage rates avail-able with no sea-sonal increases At the harbour office we look forward to engaging people in a constructive way and are excited to further enhance the value that commercial rec-reational and general citizens see in the District of Port Hardy marine operationsrdquo said Robinson
Marine facilities have been identified as an area for eco-nomic growth on the North Island and constructive input from harbour users is appreciated Input and suggestions can be sent to Bridger who can be reached by email at phfloatscablerocketcom or letters can be depos-ited in the sugges-tions box during office hours Monday to Friday 8 am to 4 pm
Gazette staffMalcolm Island
has won an award for Excellence in the RuralSmall Town Planning category from the Canadian Institute of Planners
The island with a population of 613 per-manent residents and 125 seasonal ones collaborated with EcoPlan a Vancouver-based urban plan-ning firm on a proj-ect named Growing Malcolm Island
The project was born out of conversa-tions among a group of residents more than three years ago about interest in community and economy devel-
opment according to the project website
The motivation for these discussions was growing concern over both diminishing pop-ulation and decreasing business on Malcolm Island
The first meeting on April 5 2012 led to four more all well attended
This project is unique in that it was initiated led and implemented by the community a com-munity that exists without strong local governance
The Canadian Institute of Planners noticed the grassroots approach to bringing

Port McNeill has made great strides in getting its financial house in order
ldquoBasically the town has come a long waysrdquo said Treasurer Dan Rodin at a recent council meeting According to its audited financial statements at the end of 2014 the town had $577000 in the bank com-pared to an overdraft of $295000 at
the end of 2013 said Rodin The townrsquos long-term debt has also been paid down by $101000
In 2013 the town had an operat-ing deficit of $96163 In 2014 the Town had an operating surplus of $751000
In 2014 the town received $200000 from the North Island Community Forest which went into a reserve ldquoThe Community Forest partnership has basically paid for itselfrdquo said Rodin

RDMW Knot plans continueBy Hannah GriffinReporterThe invasive plant species knot-
weed is growing out of control in the North Island The Regional District of Mount Waddington (RDMW) is in the process of developing a Knotweed Eradication Program Pat English RDMW manager of eco-nomic development says that the district is applying for funding from the Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovationrsquos Job Creation Partnership and is also partner-ing with the District of Port Hardy the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure BC Hydro Western Forest Products and the Town of Port McNeill English explains that there is knotweed in many areas of the region with the highest concentration likely in Coal Harbour with Port Hardy also heavily affected
Knotweed spreads rapidly through root systems and can be detrimental to biodiversity and increase the risk of soil erosion ldquoThe need for the program is to address the potential liability if knotweed gets into the water and sewage systemsrdquo English says adding that it can damage this infrastructure
English says that there are two methods for eradicating knotweed One is to inject a pesticide directly into the roots which kills the root system and the other is to cut it back over the course of a few years eventually killing it off He explains that discussion so far has proposed
Port McNeill as a training ground for crews as there are only four to five outcroppings there and the issue is not as serious as in other areas
At the June 1 Town of Port McNeill council meeting a May 13 letter was discussed from English and Patrick Donaghy RDMWrsquos manager of oper-ations
They asked for a letter of support from Port McNeill to include in their funding application
Councillor Graham MacDonald was against the idea of training occur-ring in Port McNeill ldquoTheyrsquore going to come here and theyrsquore going to use chemicals and Irsquom dead against itrdquo he said adding that he feels focus should be on eradicating knotweed in Coal Harbour
English says that it is important to remember that the pesticides used in the eradication program are all licensed and permitted and will be administered by crews qualified by the province Crews would be tar-geting outbreaks on municipal prop-erty or rights of way where munici-pal infrastructure goes There would only be work done on private land if permission had previously been obtained
Mayor Shirley Ackland suggested asking for more information on the program and how it would affect Port McNeill including specific plans to deal with the knotweed and if and what kinds of chemicals would be used in the process The issue was tabled until the June 15 meeting

The Ministry of Forests Lands and Natural Resource Operations is considering establishing up to eight new Biodiversity Mining and Tourism Areas (BMTAs) under the Environment and Land Use Act For King Island the ministry is looking at the possibility of establishing a conservancy under the Park Act instead of a BMTA These areas would comprise approximately 295000 hectares of Crown land
The ministry is also proposing to cancel the 2007 South Central Coast Order and Central and North Coast Order and all their amendments (2009 and 2013) and replace these with the proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest land use objectives established by legal order pursuant to Section 934 of the Land Act and for the purposes of the Forest and Range Practices Act The proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest Order sets forest management requirements within the 64 million hectares of the Great Bear Rainforest (see schedule A in the proposed Order) The proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest Order addresses First Nations cultural heritage resources freshwater ecosystems and habitats landscape and stand level biodiversity and bear habitat Together the proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest Order and potential BMTAsconservancy will meet the goals of reserving 70 of historic old growth forests with some minor exceptions while maintaining a viable forest industry in the Great Bear Rainforest
In areas designated as BMTAs commercial logging and hydro-electric power generation linked to the power grid would be prohibited other resource activities and land uses would remain subject to existing legal requirements The designations would only apply to provincial Crown land
Areas designated as conservancies explicitly recognize the importance of the area to First Nations for social ceremonial and cultural uses Conservancies provide for a wider range of low impact compatible economic opportunities than Class A parks however commercial logging mining and hydroelectric power generation other than local run-of-the-river projects are prohibited The designation would only apply to provincial Crown land
The public is invited to comment on the proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest order and potential BMTAsconservancy June 11 2015 to August 10 2015
Copies of the proposed order and associated maps and maps of the potential BMTAsconservancy are available online at httpswwwforgovbccaTASBSLRPGBR_BMTA_LUORhtml

dealt another blowThe Neucel Specialty
Cellulose mill in Port Alice will be closed lon-
ger than the six months previously announced The closure which began Feb 21 put about 400 people out of work
ldquoThere has been little or no upwards move-ment in the global dis-solving pulp market and forecasts indicated that the weak market price for dissolving pulp will continue through 2015 and into 2016rdquo said Chief Executive Officer Wanli Zhao in a letter to employees dated May 19
ldquoThe shareholders have evaluated this sit-
uation as well as the currently reliability of the mill and have come to the decision that in the interest of securing the long-term viability of the Mill the produc-tion curtailment will be extended into 2016rdquo Zhao said
During the curtail-ment the sharehold-ers have approved the development of a number of projects to address mechanical and operational issues that contribute to chronic poor reliability
ldquoItrsquos bad news for all
the people who were planning on going back to work in six monthsrdquo said Village of Port Alice Mayor Jan Allen adding the announce-ment did not come as a complete surprise
In the interim Village administration is ldquowork-ing hard at bringing courses here through North Island Collegerdquo Allen said
For instance the com-munity will be the host for a Building Service Worker Training course being offered July 14 to July 21

STORY IDEACall (250) 949-6225
By Hannah GriffinReporterOn a Friday evening several
cars pull into the small parking lot of the OrsquoConnor Lake Recreation Site south of Port McNeill A group of young people light a crackling fire and listen to music sprawled on a blanket They eat dinner and enjoy some drinks on the grassy lawn by the lake The scene has all the ingredients for a rowdy night in the making but by 930 pm the dying fire and a few bottles lying on the grass are all that linger at the site as the cars hastily pull out of the park-ing lot perhaps taking the young people home in time for curfews
Just outside Port Hardy is Beaver Lake Recreation Area There is a calm lake with seven stone-grey picnic tables a fire pit and a partially-submerged raft White daisies dot the long grass and a confetti-like collection of wet tissues earplugs and empty food wrappers dots the daisies Garbage is clearly visible but a single garbage can is not
Twenty-three kilometres south down the Port Alice Road is the Marble River Recreation Site Mid-afternoon a family is finishing a picnic lunch on a table and taking the remnants in a plastic bag back to their car Not everyone using public areas is as respectful of packing out what they bring in as a mound of garbage deposited in a nearby bush suggests Visitors to these sites should undisputedly be practising responsible site usage and packing out what they bring in The reality is that not everyone does It could be argued that more garbage recep-tacles at these sites would encourage some people to throw out their garbage and treat these sites with more respect According to some individuals closely involved in the care of these sites however this is a surprisingly complex issue as having garbage receptacles can actually create different kinds of problems
Greg Fletcher administrator for the Regional District of Mount Waddington (RDMW) explains that sites on the Alice Lake Loop Recreational Corridor are operated and maintained through a partnership between the RDMW Recreation Trails and Sites BC and Western Forest Products (WFP) including Marble River Beaver Lake Kathleen Lake and Devilrsquos Bath Representatives from each of the three involved groups have noted that the partner-ship has been very successful
Duncan Mactavish district recreation officer for Recreation Sites and Trails BC (Discovery Coast) explains that sites are divided into three groupings fee sites that are managed and where users are pay-ing for a service like Clint Beek non-fee sites that are also managed and user-maintained sites that are not actively managed apart from facility upgrades when needed
Fletcher explains that some of the Alice Lake Loop sites were an obligatory part of WFPrsquos tree farm licence back when they were created The district enters into a contract to help care for the sites from June until Labour Day
The district takes care of their own sites year-round but these specific Alice Lake Loop ones depend on provincial funding to offset the cost of care Kindry Mercer regional engagement officer for WFP says that throughout the year WFP provides a range of maintenance on the sites including identify-ing dangerous trees and felling them but that dur-ing the on-season it is maintained by Recreational Trails and Sites BC and the RDMW Mactavish
says that they provide garbage pick-up at some fee sites but the majority are pack in pack out Fletcher and Mactavish both note the extremely large time commitment it would take to have garbage pick-up at many sites especially when driving time to and between sites is considered
Fletcher says that a major reason these sites do not have garbage disposal is that in the past when there were more garbage disposal units they would be filled to the brim with household waste garbage that bore little resemblance to the typical waste accu-mulated from a few nights of camping or a picnic Mercer echoes this saying that historically when there were more garbage receptacles at sites they ended up being full of waste that did not seem to have any relation to site use Mactavish says that this was a major problem at Beaver Lake in particular
Another issue that involved parties have noted is the need for bear-proof containers in these areas Fletcher says that ldquothe issue is who will provide the bear-proof containersrdquo and that if sites do not have them then garbage needs to be picked up very fre-quently to minimize problems
Leaving garbage receptacles full for extended periods of time can be dangerous for both bears and people
The obvious solution may then appear to be bear-proof containers at every site yet cost is a huge impediment with a single bear bin costing around $2500 not including the cost of installation Mactavish says that their budget is already quite tight and that he would prefer to use funds for things that help improve sites-instead of counteracting user littering - things like repairing and upgrading old infrastructure like rotting picnic tables
There is the additional issue of site usage outside the June-Labour Day period that the RDMWrsquos con-tract runs for During warm spring days and even during this unusually mild past winter people still use these sites and one party of people neglecting to treat a site with respect can quickly leave it riddled with trash
Fletcher acknowledges this and says that they may be open to discussing contracts starting earlier in the spring but that an extension like this would depend on provincial funding This absence of garbage receptacles at some of these sites seems on its face to be counter intuitive to their care and maintenance Upon further investigation however it seems like the lack of waste disposal has been deemed necessary to deal with other behaviours and wildlife manage-ment
The message is clear - whether or not there is a place to deposit garbage it should not be left by users at the scenic sites that dot this region

Love Your Ocean is a fund-raiser for MERSrsquos whale research and a lsquofunrsquo raiser for families

Support from busi-nesses for raffle and silent auction items has been overwhelming with whale watching trips pottery clothing kayaking and more up for grabs says Jackie Hildering humpback whale researcher and education director for MERS
The silent-auction

The Marine Education and Research Society based in Alert Bay was incorporated in 2010 The association was formed to bring together existing marine research
and education projects as well as to provide a platform from which to conduct further work in the future
The directors of MERS are marine biologists and educa-tors brought together
through their work in the marine environ-ment While based here MERS directors have worked in many coun-tries and oceans
To date MERS research has been focused on projects investigating humpback and minke whales but has also included work on other baleen whales as well as on killer whales in other parts of the world
ldquoWersquore tying to have this event thatrsquos dynam-icrdquo Hildering said add-ing she will be in her dive gear as The Marine Detective and there will be a whole lot of marine puppets as well as the opportunity for people to have their photo taken in whale costumes
People will also
have the opportunity to suggest a name for a Humpback whale
Funds generated will go to support the work the group is doing in the area ldquoAn awful lot of what wersquore doing is all volunteer Therersquos a lot of valuable work being done and we have to find ways to get this work donerdquo
Hildering is grateful for the overwhelming support the society has received from the local business community for the event The eco-tourism companies have made numerous offers available she said The Seahorse Cafeacute is donat-ing the proceeds from their food sales that day to MERS
ldquoItrsquos extremely mov-ing rdquo she said

Port Hardy Secondary School June 2 would be forgiven for think-ing they had entered a construction zone
The halls rang with the sounds of saw-ing hammering and grinding as crowds of youngsters with the help of teachers and volunteers put togeth-er a personalized wooden bench
The process included students assembling the bench and cus-tomizing it with their initials cut from metal and a PHSS brand they got to burn into the wood
The event was part of a transitions pro-gram which introduced students from six area elementary schools to PHSS which they will be attending in the fall
ldquoThe bench was part of Trades Day which is an Industry Trades Authority (ITA) spon-sored event under the lsquoYes2Itrsquo programrdquo said school Counsellor Levin Prong
ldquoTrades Day is designed to inform and encourage youth to consider future trades
careersrdquo Prong said PHSS woodwork
teacher Joel Dyck and PHSS metal-work teacher Kevin McGhee designed and prepared the bench-es The Woodwork 8 and Metalwork 10-12 classes prefabricated all the pieces They also helped with the
learning process mak-ing sure the newcom-ers followed the safe practices the older students had learned during their studies at PHSS
School District 85 and local trades pro-fessionals were also invited to support and inform students throughout the pro-
cess The Trades Day also served as a fun-filled orientation dur-ing which Grade 7 students were familiar-ized with PHSS the industrial facilities and given the opportu-nity to meet with new peers with whom they will attend school next year

Hannah GriffinReporterPort McNeill-
born David Rannala is bringing relief to homeowners who have botched their houses
The Victoria-based contractor is fea-tured on Home and Garden Televisionrsquos new show ldquoI Wrecked My Houserdquo along-side comedian Steve Patterson Homeowners who have attempted to ren-ovate or fix their own houses with disastrous results are given a les-son from experts and then renovators and then put their skills to use and beautify the mistakes
Rannala owner of Rannala Construction in Victoria and a cer-tified journeyman carpenter says that he ldquoliterally just got kind of a phone call out of the bluerdquo from Ottawa-based televi-sion production com-pany Mountain Road Productions
The company cast him in the show which recently wrapped its first season air-ing now Rannala describes the experi-ence on the show as great but the schedule as hectic with 14 days straight spent shoot-ing each project and a week off in Victoria in between This schedule has allowed Rannala to cultivate a new skill ldquoworking for days on end with basically no sleeprdquo he jokes
The most challeng-ing project Rannala recalls from shooting the first season of ldquoI Wrecked My Houserdquo is the soon to be aired Hastings project a huge amount of work that needed to be com-pleted in a very short amount of time
ldquoIt was basically bulldozer baitrdquo he says
He usually works on custom high-end homes and says that the stress surround-ing the projects on the show is different because it is about fig-uring out quickly how
to move forward and improve the situation The show includes a team of skilled off-air carpenters who keep work moving when Rannala is involved in on-camera work
Rannala lived in Port McNeill until he was around seven and his father is still a resi-dent
Growing up in Port McNeill his life was full of ldquowhat you do as a kid in McNeill fires and fishingrdquo He moved to Victoria dur-ing his childhood and began an apprentice-ship right out of high school
Back in Victoria now that the show is
airing Rannala paus-es for a second while considering his long term goals
ldquoIf the sun and the stars and the moon
align we would bring the film crew to the North Islandrdquo
New episodes air Tuesday at 10 pm Eastern and Pacific

By Kathy OrsquoReilly-TaylorEditorA local student has
made a national splash with a science project that turns the ocean tide into electricity
Clayton Harderrsquos remarkable journey began at North Island Secondary School in Port McNeill with a project called ldquoTidal Power Pumprdquo
Harder a Grade 8 student designed and made a pump that can generate electricity using tides
ldquoWhile I was down at the docks in Port McNeill I noticed the rise and fall of the tides looked like a pump So I thought I would design a pump that would run off the tides to generate electric-ityrdquo said Clayton of the inspiration for his project
The young man is interested particularly in environmental sci-ences and finding ways to ldquostop stuff from harming the environ-mentrdquo
Harder created a
small-scale prototype which was actually able to run a light for a short period of time
This April Clayton 14 entered his proj-ect into the Northern Vancouver Island Regional Science Fair at NISS His proj-ect won the Michael Crooks Physics award The BC Hydro for Generations award and Top Overall Project award which allowed him to attend the Canada Wide Science Fair (CWSF) in Fredericton New Brunswick
Clayton had to fund-raise over $2000 for this trip said his mom Kathy and was sup-ported by North Island Chipping the Rotary Clubs of Port Hardy and Port McNeill the Lions Clubs of Port Hardy and Port McNeill Lemare Lake Logging Ltd and Strategic Forest Management
NISS Foods Teacher Ricki McCrae pur-chased the ingredients and organized a bake sale and vegetable bundles and firewood were also sold as a fund-raiser
ldquoThey and many others all helped make this trip possiblerdquo said Kathy
ldquoIt made me happy that so many people cared about the science fair and helping people to go thererdquo Clayton said
From May 9 to May 17 Clayton attended this fair along with 500
other kids from across Canada whose projects placed in their regional science fairs There were only 65 projects from BC that made it to the CWSF That total was from the senior intermediate and junior levels combined
The week included a day of judging from 830 am to 530 pm where Clayton was interviewed thoroughly by over 20 different judges There was also two and a half days of public viewing which over 4000 people attended
The event wasnrsquot all work a day was set aside for the kids to go to various sites in the Fredericton area Clayton was able to spend a day at the Bay of Fundy
Friday May 15 featured an awards day ceremony where Clayton was pre-sented with a Silver Medal of Excellence and the Junior Energy Challenge Award The silver medal awards come with a $2000 scholarship to Western University
ldquoThis is a huge achievement as less than one per cent of the science fair projects make it to the Canada Wide Science Fair and out of those less than one third receive any type of awardrdquo said Kathy
ldquoAs parents we are very proud of his accomplishments but we are most proud of who he is He is grow-
ing up to be a fine respectful young man That is what is impor-tantrdquo she said
ldquoWersquove seen increas-ing growth with all the projectsrdquo said Rena Sweeney chair of the Northern Vancouver Island Regional Science Fair Committee
Clayton specifically is ldquolooking at ways to apply his projects to solve real world prob-lemsrdquo Sweeney said
ldquoWersquore looking for-ward to see the direc-tion hersquos going itrdquo she said
And his mind is already turning
Although he is just in the initial stages Clayton hopes to build enough pumps to store energy on a Tesla bat-tery to power a home
While he is think-ing about the future Clayton also has an illustrious past
His forays into sci-ence fairs began in Grade 6 when his project was top proj-ect overall but he was too young to attend the CWSF
In 2014 Claytonrsquos project won top overall project once again and he attended the CWSF event which was held in Windsor Ontario There he won a Bronze Medal of Excellence
Science skills obvi-ously run in the family
Claytonrsquos brother Trevor won top over-all project awards in 2011 and 2012 and attended the CWSF in Toronto and then in Charlottetown PEI

By Hannah GriffinReporterThe Tri-Port
Speedway Association kicked off the 2015 season with a race event on June 7
Stock car racing enthusiasts flocked to the wooden stands above the track and lined the top of the hill on picnic blankets and in lawn chairs
Shortly after 1 pm drivers of the six entered cars gathered in the centre of the clay track to hear asso-ciation President Dan Stewart outline what each flag means event rules and regulations as well as to offer his hopes for the day
ldquoThe best thing you
guys can do is expect to lose every event this yearrdquo he said to the gathered drivers explaining that safety was a major priority
ldquoWe all want to go home in one piecerdquo
Engines began to roar as racers began the trophy dash four laps around the track
Announcer Ken Fraser explained that their stock car events typically run about two to three hours and are composed of three dis-tinct events Following the trophy dash there are two heat races one is a time trial and the second is based on points from that time trial
The last event is
based on points stand-ings from throughout the day
President Dan Stewart and Announcer Ken Fraser explained that the hot dry weath-er it was 18 degrees on race day contributed to some issues with dust They mitigate the problem by spraying down throughout the event but it just evapo-rates
The Tri-Port Speedway Association has another event on June 21 at 1 pm and the Dust Bowl Weekend is set for Aug 22 and 23 Anyone interested in volun-teering can contact organizer Teresa Lee at (250) 949-7273

want to miss the North Island Timing Associationrsquos summer series that promises to provide a million thrills a minute
On June 20-21 the annual Rumble on the Runway will be taking place at the Port McNeill Airport The race is one of three scheduled for this summer The others will be held July 18-19 and Aug 22-23
ldquoEach race day we typically see 50 to 75 carsrdquo said Acting President Chris Sharpe with about 15 from the North island
and the remaining vehicles from Campbell River Courtenay Nanaimo Ladysmith Duncan Shawnigan Lake Victoria Port Alberni Tofino and Powell River
There are typically three class-es of car at the event Sportsman (street carsmini vans) Pro which is a faster car some street cars but mostly dedicated race cars and Super Pro which is basically the same as Pro class but uses ldquoelectronicsrdquo in enginetransmission control
The Rumble on the Runway began in 2008 Sharpe said when ldquoa couple guys were look-ing to promote the sport and
bring a new influx of people to the North Islandrdquo
North Island Timing Association is the only drag rac-ing association on Vancouver Island that runs three large 18 mile bracket races every race season Port Alberni also has a 14 mile track also at a airport but it is only raced on one week-end per year
ldquoWersquore excited to have a actu-al 18 mile track that is recog-nized by the National Hot Rod Associationrdquo said Sharpe
Spectator admission is $5 per person at the gate and there is a concession on site for breakfast and lunch

an event that has run for nearly three decades will have golfers swinging their clubs in the friendly weekend event June 20 and 21
The tournament hosted by Seven Hills Golf and Country Club has three flights taking place Saturday morning Saturday afternoon and Sunday
There are prizes for everyone given out Sunday evening and dinner will be provided There is generally an allotment of 144 golf-ers and all prizes are donated by community businesses
Apart from being a sporting event the tournament is notable in that all profits go towards providing scholarships for local stu-dents through Port Hardy Secondary School and North Island Secondary School In pre-vious years the tournament proceeds went towards supporting local people in need and charities and for the previous three years has been supporting scholarships In 2014 six students were recipients of these scholar-ships

Port Hardy Harbour Authorityrsquos labour management contract has been awarded to
Port Hardy compa-ny Seaway Ventures Ltd who succeed Pacificus Biological
Services Ltd in the role
Staff appointed to the facilitation of
Harbour Services have been in the marine industry on the North Island for over 15 years
Gail Bridger will be continuing in her role as accounts manager with the Port Hardy Harbour Authority under Seaway Ventures Ltd as a result of her exem-plary work over the past five years
Angela Smith of Seaway Ventures will aid the team with her skills in admin-istration and Special Operations
Harbour Manager and primary of Seaway Ventures Ltd Leah Robinson said ldquoa positive service shift will be the focus of first term opera-tions
ldquoWe are interested in supporting the existing users of the Harbour and meet-ing their needs while looking for manners in which basic har-bour services can be enhanced Finding fiscally-responsible solutions for har-bour development are additional goals of this term There are no current plans to change any of the existing service rates and we remind
all users that finance and rate changes are decisions made at the council and admin-istrative level at the District of Port Hardy
ldquoCompared to all other marinas on the North Island we continue to offer the lowest commercial and pleasure vessel moorage rates avail-able with no sea-sonal increases At the harbour office we look forward to engaging people in a constructive way and are excited to further enhance the value that commercial rec-reational and general citizens see in the District of Port Hardy marine operationsrdquo said Robinson
Marine facilities have been identified as an area for eco-nomic growth on the North Island and constructive input from harbour users is appreciated Input and suggestions can be sent to Bridger who can be reached by email at phfloatscablerocketcom or letters can be depos-ited in the sugges-tions box during office hours Monday to Friday 8 am to 4 pm
Gazette staffMalcolm Island
has won an award for Excellence in the RuralSmall Town Planning category from the Canadian Institute of Planners
The island with a population of 613 per-manent residents and 125 seasonal ones collaborated with EcoPlan a Vancouver-based urban plan-ning firm on a proj-ect named Growing Malcolm Island
The project was born out of conversa-tions among a group of residents more than three years ago about interest in community and economy devel-
opment according to the project website
The motivation for these discussions was growing concern over both diminishing pop-ulation and decreasing business on Malcolm Island
The first meeting on April 5 2012 led to four more all well attended
This project is unique in that it was initiated led and implemented by the community a com-munity that exists without strong local governance
The Canadian Institute of Planners noticed the grassroots approach to bringing
citizens together to help support the local economy and award-ed the distinction to Malcolm Island
Previous winners in the RuralSmall Town category are Maple Creek Saskatchewan (2014) Trinity Newfoundland and Labrador (2013) Orillia Ontario (2013) and the District of Peachland British Columbia (2012)
The Canadian Institute of Planners presents annual Awards for Planning Excellence that hon-our projects judged on their excellence innovation impact on the profession imple-mentation potential and overall presenta-tion

RDMW Knot plans continueBy Hannah GriffinReporterThe invasive plant species knot-
weed is growing out of control in the North Island The Regional District of Mount Waddington (RDMW) is in the process of developing a Knotweed Eradication Program Pat English RDMW manager of eco-nomic development says that the district is applying for funding from the Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovationrsquos Job Creation Partnership and is also partner-ing with the District of Port Hardy the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure BC Hydro Western Forest Products and the Town of Port McNeill English explains that there is knotweed in many areas of the region with the highest concentration likely in Coal Harbour with Port Hardy also heavily affected
Knotweed spreads rapidly through root systems and can be detrimental to biodiversity and increase the risk of soil erosion ldquoThe need for the program is to address the potential liability if knotweed gets into the water and sewage systemsrdquo English says adding that it can damage this infrastructure
English says that there are two methods for eradicating knotweed One is to inject a pesticide directly into the roots which kills the root system and the other is to cut it back over the course of a few years eventually killing it off He explains that discussion so far has proposed
Port McNeill as a training ground for crews as there are only four to five outcroppings there and the issue is not as serious as in other areas
At the June 1 Town of Port McNeill council meeting a May 13 letter was discussed from English and Patrick Donaghy RDMWrsquos manager of oper-ations
They asked for a letter of support from Port McNeill to include in their funding application
Councillor Graham MacDonald was against the idea of training occur-ring in Port McNeill ldquoTheyrsquore going to come here and theyrsquore going to use chemicals and Irsquom dead against itrdquo he said adding that he feels focus should be on eradicating knotweed in Coal Harbour
English says that it is important to remember that the pesticides used in the eradication program are all licensed and permitted and will be administered by crews qualified by the province Crews would be tar-geting outbreaks on municipal prop-erty or rights of way where munici-pal infrastructure goes There would only be work done on private land if permission had previously been obtained
Mayor Shirley Ackland suggested asking for more information on the program and how it would affect Port McNeill including specific plans to deal with the knotweed and if and what kinds of chemicals would be used in the process The issue was tabled until the June 15 meeting

The Ministry of Forests Lands and Natural Resource Operations is considering establishing up to eight new Biodiversity Mining and Tourism Areas (BMTAs) under the Environment and Land Use Act For King Island the ministry is looking at the possibility of establishing a conservancy under the Park Act instead of a BMTA These areas would comprise approximately 295000 hectares of Crown land
The ministry is also proposing to cancel the 2007 South Central Coast Order and Central and North Coast Order and all their amendments (2009 and 2013) and replace these with the proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest land use objectives established by legal order pursuant to Section 934 of the Land Act and for the purposes of the Forest and Range Practices Act The proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest Order sets forest management requirements within the 64 million hectares of the Great Bear Rainforest (see schedule A in the proposed Order) The proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest Order addresses First Nations cultural heritage resources freshwater ecosystems and habitats landscape and stand level biodiversity and bear habitat Together the proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest Order and potential BMTAsconservancy will meet the goals of reserving 70 of historic old growth forests with some minor exceptions while maintaining a viable forest industry in the Great Bear Rainforest
In areas designated as BMTAs commercial logging and hydro-electric power generation linked to the power grid would be prohibited other resource activities and land uses would remain subject to existing legal requirements The designations would only apply to provincial Crown land
Areas designated as conservancies explicitly recognize the importance of the area to First Nations for social ceremonial and cultural uses Conservancies provide for a wider range of low impact compatible economic opportunities than Class A parks however commercial logging mining and hydroelectric power generation other than local run-of-the-river projects are prohibited The designation would only apply to provincial Crown land
The public is invited to comment on the proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest order and potential BMTAsconservancy June 11 2015 to August 10 2015
Copies of the proposed order and associated maps and maps of the potential BMTAsconservancy are available online at httpswwwforgovbccaTASBSLRPGBR_BMTA_LUORhtml

dealt another blowThe Neucel Specialty
Cellulose mill in Port Alice will be closed lon-
ger than the six months previously announced The closure which began Feb 21 put about 400 people out of work
ldquoThere has been little or no upwards move-ment in the global dis-solving pulp market and forecasts indicated that the weak market price for dissolving pulp will continue through 2015 and into 2016rdquo said Chief Executive Officer Wanli Zhao in a letter to employees dated May 19
ldquoThe shareholders have evaluated this sit-
uation as well as the currently reliability of the mill and have come to the decision that in the interest of securing the long-term viability of the Mill the produc-tion curtailment will be extended into 2016rdquo Zhao said
During the curtail-ment the sharehold-ers have approved the development of a number of projects to address mechanical and operational issues that contribute to chronic poor reliability
ldquoItrsquos bad news for all
the people who were planning on going back to work in six monthsrdquo said Village of Port Alice Mayor Jan Allen adding the announce-ment did not come as a complete surprise
In the interim Village administration is ldquowork-ing hard at bringing courses here through North Island Collegerdquo Allen said
For instance the com-munity will be the host for a Building Service Worker Training course being offered July 14 to July 21

STORY IDEACall (250) 949-6225
By Hannah GriffinReporterOn a Friday evening several
cars pull into the small parking lot of the OrsquoConnor Lake Recreation Site south of Port McNeill A group of young people light a crackling fire and listen to music sprawled on a blanket They eat dinner and enjoy some drinks on the grassy lawn by the lake The scene has all the ingredients for a rowdy night in the making but by 930 pm the dying fire and a few bottles lying on the grass are all that linger at the site as the cars hastily pull out of the park-ing lot perhaps taking the young people home in time for curfews
Just outside Port Hardy is Beaver Lake Recreation Area There is a calm lake with seven stone-grey picnic tables a fire pit and a partially-submerged raft White daisies dot the long grass and a confetti-like collection of wet tissues earplugs and empty food wrappers dots the daisies Garbage is clearly visible but a single garbage can is not
Twenty-three kilometres south down the Port Alice Road is the Marble River Recreation Site Mid-afternoon a family is finishing a picnic lunch on a table and taking the remnants in a plastic bag back to their car Not everyone using public areas is as respectful of packing out what they bring in as a mound of garbage deposited in a nearby bush suggests Visitors to these sites should undisputedly be practising responsible site usage and packing out what they bring in The reality is that not everyone does It could be argued that more garbage recep-tacles at these sites would encourage some people to throw out their garbage and treat these sites with more respect According to some individuals closely involved in the care of these sites however this is a surprisingly complex issue as having garbage receptacles can actually create different kinds of problems
Greg Fletcher administrator for the Regional District of Mount Waddington (RDMW) explains that sites on the Alice Lake Loop Recreational Corridor are operated and maintained through a partnership between the RDMW Recreation Trails and Sites BC and Western Forest Products (WFP) including Marble River Beaver Lake Kathleen Lake and Devilrsquos Bath Representatives from each of the three involved groups have noted that the partner-ship has been very successful
Duncan Mactavish district recreation officer for Recreation Sites and Trails BC (Discovery Coast) explains that sites are divided into three groupings fee sites that are managed and where users are pay-ing for a service like Clint Beek non-fee sites that are also managed and user-maintained sites that are not actively managed apart from facility upgrades when needed
Fletcher explains that some of the Alice Lake Loop sites were an obligatory part of WFPrsquos tree farm licence back when they were created The district enters into a contract to help care for the sites from June until Labour Day
The district takes care of their own sites year-round but these specific Alice Lake Loop ones depend on provincial funding to offset the cost of care Kindry Mercer regional engagement officer for WFP says that throughout the year WFP provides a range of maintenance on the sites including identify-ing dangerous trees and felling them but that dur-ing the on-season it is maintained by Recreational Trails and Sites BC and the RDMW Mactavish
says that they provide garbage pick-up at some fee sites but the majority are pack in pack out Fletcher and Mactavish both note the extremely large time commitment it would take to have garbage pick-up at many sites especially when driving time to and between sites is considered
Fletcher says that a major reason these sites do not have garbage disposal is that in the past when there were more garbage disposal units they would be filled to the brim with household waste garbage that bore little resemblance to the typical waste accu-mulated from a few nights of camping or a picnic Mercer echoes this saying that historically when there were more garbage receptacles at sites they ended up being full of waste that did not seem to have any relation to site use Mactavish says that this was a major problem at Beaver Lake in particular
Another issue that involved parties have noted is the need for bear-proof containers in these areas Fletcher says that ldquothe issue is who will provide the bear-proof containersrdquo and that if sites do not have them then garbage needs to be picked up very fre-quently to minimize problems
Leaving garbage receptacles full for extended periods of time can be dangerous for both bears and people
The obvious solution may then appear to be bear-proof containers at every site yet cost is a huge impediment with a single bear bin costing around $2500 not including the cost of installation Mactavish says that their budget is already quite tight and that he would prefer to use funds for things that help improve sites-instead of counteracting user littering - things like repairing and upgrading old infrastructure like rotting picnic tables
There is the additional issue of site usage outside the June-Labour Day period that the RDMWrsquos con-tract runs for During warm spring days and even during this unusually mild past winter people still use these sites and one party of people neglecting to treat a site with respect can quickly leave it riddled with trash
Fletcher acknowledges this and says that they may be open to discussing contracts starting earlier in the spring but that an extension like this would depend on provincial funding This absence of garbage receptacles at some of these sites seems on its face to be counter intuitive to their care and maintenance Upon further investigation however it seems like the lack of waste disposal has been deemed necessary to deal with other behaviours and wildlife manage-ment
The message is clear - whether or not there is a place to deposit garbage it should not be left by users at the scenic sites that dot this region

On Sunday June 14 MERS will be converg-ing at the Seahorse Cafeacute amp Gallery in Telegraph Cove for the ldquoLove Your Oceanrdquo event from 11 am to 2 pm
Love Your Ocean is a fund-raiser for MERSrsquos whale research and a lsquofunrsquo raiser for families

Support from busi-nesses for raffle and silent auction items has been overwhelming with whale watching trips pottery clothing kayaking and more up for grabs says Jackie Hildering humpback whale researcher and education director for MERS
The silent-auction

The Marine Education and Research Society based in Alert Bay was incorporated in 2010 The association was formed to bring together existing marine research
and education projects as well as to provide a platform from which to conduct further work in the future
The directors of MERS are marine biologists and educa-tors brought together
through their work in the marine environ-ment While based here MERS directors have worked in many coun-tries and oceans
To date MERS research has been focused on projects investigating humpback and minke whales but has also included work on other baleen whales as well as on killer whales in other parts of the world
ldquoWersquore tying to have this event thatrsquos dynam-icrdquo Hildering said add-ing she will be in her dive gear as The Marine Detective and there will be a whole lot of marine puppets as well as the opportunity for people to have their photo taken in whale costumes
People will also
have the opportunity to suggest a name for a Humpback whale
Funds generated will go to support the work the group is doing in the area ldquoAn awful lot of what wersquore doing is all volunteer Therersquos a lot of valuable work being done and we have to find ways to get this work donerdquo
Hildering is grateful for the overwhelming support the society has received from the local business community for the event The eco-tourism companies have made numerous offers available she said The Seahorse Cafeacute is donat-ing the proceeds from their food sales that day to MERS
ldquoItrsquos extremely mov-ing rdquo she said

By Kathy OrsquoReilly-TaylorEditorPeople who entered
Port Hardy Secondary School June 2 would be forgiven for think-ing they had entered a construction zone
The halls rang with the sounds of saw-ing hammering and grinding as crowds of youngsters with the help of teachers and volunteers put togeth-er a personalized wooden bench
The process included students assembling the bench and cus-tomizing it with their initials cut from metal and a PHSS brand they got to burn into the wood
The event was part of a transitions pro-gram which introduced students from six area elementary schools to PHSS which they will be attending in the fall
ldquoThe bench was part of Trades Day which is an Industry Trades Authority (ITA) spon-sored event under the lsquoYes2Itrsquo programrdquo said school Counsellor Levin Prong
ldquoTrades Day is designed to inform and encourage youth to consider future trades
careersrdquo Prong said PHSS woodwork
teacher Joel Dyck and PHSS metal-work teacher Kevin McGhee designed and prepared the bench-es The Woodwork 8 and Metalwork 10-12 classes prefabricated all the pieces They also helped with the
learning process mak-ing sure the newcom-ers followed the safe practices the older students had learned during their studies at PHSS
School District 85 and local trades pro-fessionals were also invited to support and inform students throughout the pro-
cess The Trades Day also served as a fun-filled orientation dur-ing which Grade 7 students were familiar-ized with PHSS the industrial facilities and given the opportu-nity to meet with new peers with whom they will attend school next year

Hannah GriffinReporterPort McNeill-
born David Rannala is bringing relief to homeowners who have botched their houses
The Victoria-based contractor is fea-tured on Home and Garden Televisionrsquos new show ldquoI Wrecked My Houserdquo along-side comedian Steve Patterson Homeowners who have attempted to ren-ovate or fix their own houses with disastrous results are given a les-son from experts and then renovators and then put their skills to use and beautify the mistakes
Rannala owner of Rannala Construction in Victoria and a cer-tified journeyman carpenter says that he ldquoliterally just got kind of a phone call out of the bluerdquo from Ottawa-based televi-sion production com-pany Mountain Road Productions
The company cast him in the show which recently wrapped its first season air-ing now Rannala describes the experi-ence on the show as great but the schedule as hectic with 14 days straight spent shoot-ing each project and a week off in Victoria in between This schedule has allowed Rannala to cultivate a new skill ldquoworking for days on end with basically no sleeprdquo he jokes
The most challeng-ing project Rannala recalls from shooting the first season of ldquoI Wrecked My Houserdquo is the soon to be aired Hastings project a huge amount of work that needed to be com-pleted in a very short amount of time
ldquoIt was basically bulldozer baitrdquo he says
He usually works on custom high-end homes and says that the stress surround-ing the projects on the show is different because it is about fig-uring out quickly how
to move forward and improve the situation The show includes a team of skilled off-air carpenters who keep work moving when Rannala is involved in on-camera work
Rannala lived in Port McNeill until he was around seven and his father is still a resi-dent
Growing up in Port McNeill his life was full of ldquowhat you do as a kid in McNeill fires and fishingrdquo He moved to Victoria dur-ing his childhood and began an apprentice-ship right out of high school
Back in Victoria now that the show is
airing Rannala paus-es for a second while considering his long term goals
ldquoIf the sun and the stars and the moon
align we would bring the film crew to the North Islandrdquo
New episodes air Tuesday at 10 pm Eastern and Pacific

By Kathy OrsquoReilly-TaylorEditorA local student has
made a national splash with a science project that turns the ocean tide into electricity
Clayton Harderrsquos remarkable journey began at North Island Secondary School in Port McNeill with a project called ldquoTidal Power Pumprdquo
Harder a Grade 8 student designed and made a pump that can generate electricity using tides
ldquoWhile I was down at the docks in Port McNeill I noticed the rise and fall of the tides looked like a pump So I thought I would design a pump that would run off the tides to generate electric-ityrdquo said Clayton of the inspiration for his project
The young man is interested particularly in environmental sci-ences and finding ways to ldquostop stuff from harming the environ-mentrdquo
Harder created a
small-scale prototype which was actually able to run a light for a short period of time
This April Clayton 14 entered his proj-ect into the Northern Vancouver Island Regional Science Fair at NISS His proj-ect won the Michael Crooks Physics award The BC Hydro for Generations award and Top Overall Project award which allowed him to attend the Canada Wide Science Fair (CWSF) in Fredericton New Brunswick
Clayton had to fund-raise over $2000 for this trip said his mom Kathy and was sup-ported by North Island Chipping the Rotary Clubs of Port Hardy and Port McNeill the Lions Clubs of Port Hardy and Port McNeill Lemare Lake Logging Ltd and Strategic Forest Management
NISS Foods Teacher Ricki McCrae pur-chased the ingredients and organized a bake sale and vegetable bundles and firewood were also sold as a fund-raiser
ldquoThey and many others all helped make this trip possiblerdquo said Kathy
ldquoIt made me happy that so many people cared about the science fair and helping people to go thererdquo Clayton said
From May 9 to May 17 Clayton attended this fair along with 500
other kids from across Canada whose projects placed in their regional science fairs There were only 65 projects from BC that made it to the CWSF That total was from the senior intermediate and junior levels combined
The week included a day of judging from 830 am to 530 pm where Clayton was interviewed thoroughly by over 20 different judges There was also two and a half days of public viewing which over 4000 people attended
The event wasnrsquot all work a day was set aside for the kids to go to various sites in the Fredericton area Clayton was able to spend a day at the Bay of Fundy
Friday May 15 featured an awards day ceremony where Clayton was pre-sented with a Silver Medal of Excellence and the Junior Energy Challenge Award The silver medal awards come with a $2000 scholarship to Western University
ldquoThis is a huge achievement as less than one per cent of the science fair projects make it to the Canada Wide Science Fair and out of those less than one third receive any type of awardrdquo said Kathy
ldquoAs parents we are very proud of his accomplishments but we are most proud of who he is He is grow-
ing up to be a fine respectful young man That is what is impor-tantrdquo she said
ldquoWersquove seen increas-ing growth with all the projectsrdquo said Rena Sweeney chair of the Northern Vancouver Island Regional Science Fair Committee
Clayton specifically is ldquolooking at ways to apply his projects to solve real world prob-lemsrdquo Sweeney said
ldquoWersquore looking for-ward to see the direc-tion hersquos going itrdquo she said
And his mind is already turning
Although he is just in the initial stages Clayton hopes to build enough pumps to store energy on a Tesla bat-tery to power a home
While he is think-ing about the future Clayton also has an illustrious past
His forays into sci-ence fairs began in Grade 6 when his project was top proj-ect overall but he was too young to attend the CWSF
In 2014 Claytonrsquos project won top overall project once again and he attended the CWSF event which was held in Windsor Ontario There he won a Bronze Medal of Excellence
Science skills obvi-ously run in the family
Claytonrsquos brother Trevor won top over-all project awards in 2011 and 2012 and attended the CWSF in Toronto and then in Charlottetown PEI

By Hannah GriffinReporterThe Tri-Port
Speedway Association kicked off the 2015 season with a race event on June 7
Stock car racing enthusiasts flocked to the wooden stands above the track and lined the top of the hill on picnic blankets and in lawn chairs
Shortly after 1 pm drivers of the six entered cars gathered in the centre of the clay track to hear asso-ciation President Dan Stewart outline what each flag means event rules and regulations as well as to offer his hopes for the day
ldquoThe best thing you
guys can do is expect to lose every event this yearrdquo he said to the gathered drivers explaining that safety was a major priority
ldquoWe all want to go home in one piecerdquo
Engines began to roar as racers began the trophy dash four laps around the track
Announcer Ken Fraser explained that their stock car events typically run about two to three hours and are composed of three dis-tinct events Following the trophy dash there are two heat races one is a time trial and the second is based on points from that time trial
The last event is
based on points stand-ings from throughout the day
President Dan Stewart and Announcer Ken Fraser explained that the hot dry weath-er it was 18 degrees on race day contributed to some issues with dust They mitigate the problem by spraying down throughout the event but it just evapo-rates
The Tri-Port Speedway Association has another event on June 21 at 1 pm and the Dust Bowl Weekend is set for Aug 22 and 23 Anyone interested in volun-teering can contact organizer Teresa Lee at (250) 949-7273

want to miss the North Island Timing Associationrsquos summer series that promises to provide a million thrills a minute
On June 20-21 the annual Rumble on the Runway will be taking place at the Port McNeill Airport The race is one of three scheduled for this summer The others will be held July 18-19 and Aug 22-23
ldquoEach race day we typically see 50 to 75 carsrdquo said Acting President Chris Sharpe with about 15 from the North island
and the remaining vehicles from Campbell River Courtenay Nanaimo Ladysmith Duncan Shawnigan Lake Victoria Port Alberni Tofino and Powell River
There are typically three class-es of car at the event Sportsman (street carsmini vans) Pro which is a faster car some street cars but mostly dedicated race cars and Super Pro which is basically the same as Pro class but uses ldquoelectronicsrdquo in enginetransmission control
The Rumble on the Runway began in 2008 Sharpe said when ldquoa couple guys were look-ing to promote the sport and
bring a new influx of people to the North Islandrdquo
North Island Timing Association is the only drag rac-ing association on Vancouver Island that runs three large 18 mile bracket races every race season Port Alberni also has a 14 mile track also at a airport but it is only raced on one week-end per year
ldquoWersquore excited to have a actu-al 18 mile track that is recog-nized by the National Hot Rod Associationrdquo said Sharpe
Spectator admission is $5 per person at the gate and there is a concession on site for breakfast and lunch

an event that has run for nearly three decades will have golfers swinging their clubs in the friendly weekend event June 20 and 21
The tournament hosted by Seven Hills Golf and Country Club has three flights taking place Saturday morning Saturday afternoon and Sunday
There are prizes for everyone given out Sunday evening and dinner will be provided There is generally an allotment of 144 golf-ers and all prizes are donated by community businesses
Apart from being a sporting event the tournament is notable in that all profits go towards providing scholarships for local stu-dents through Port Hardy Secondary School and North Island Secondary School In pre-vious years the tournament proceeds went towards supporting local people in need and charities and for the previous three years has been supporting scholarships In 2014 six students were recipients of these scholar-ships
Critical to the success of this event is contri-butions by sponsors and any local organiza-tions or businesses interested in doing so may contact Bill Gray at 250-949-7623 or Lito Pineda at 250-956-5234 Donations may be dropped off at the WFP Port McNeill office or can be picked up by committee members (found on the event Facebook page)

Hannah Griffin Photo
By Kathy OrsquoReilly-TaylorEditorOver the last year the Town of
Port McNeill has made great strides in getting its financial house in order
ldquoBasically the town has come a long waysrdquo said Treasurer Dan Rodin at a recent council meeting According to its audited financial statements at the end of 2014 the town had $577000 in the bank com-pared to an overdraft of $295000 at
the end of 2013 said Rodin The townrsquos long-term debt has also been paid down by $101000
In 2013 the town had an operat-ing deficit of $96163 In 2014 the Town had an operating surplus of $751000
In 2014 the town received $200000 from the North Island Community Forest which went into a reserve ldquoThe Community Forest partnership has basically paid for itselfrdquo said Rodin

RDMW Knot plans continueBy Hannah GriffinReporterThe invasive plant species knot-
weed is growing out of control in the North Island The Regional District of Mount Waddington (RDMW) is in the process of developing a Knotweed Eradication Program Pat English RDMW manager of eco-nomic development says that the district is applying for funding from the Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovationrsquos Job Creation Partnership and is also partner-ing with the District of Port Hardy the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure BC Hydro Western Forest Products and the Town of Port McNeill English explains that there is knotweed in many areas of the region with the highest concentration likely in Coal Harbour with Port Hardy also heavily affected
Knotweed spreads rapidly through root systems and can be detrimental to biodiversity and increase the risk of soil erosion ldquoThe need for the program is to address the potential liability if knotweed gets into the water and sewage systemsrdquo English says adding that it can damage this infrastructure
English says that there are two methods for eradicating knotweed One is to inject a pesticide directly into the roots which kills the root system and the other is to cut it back over the course of a few years eventually killing it off He explains that discussion so far has proposed
Port McNeill as a training ground for crews as there are only four to five outcroppings there and the issue is not as serious as in other areas
At the June 1 Town of Port McNeill council meeting a May 13 letter was discussed from English and Patrick Donaghy RDMWrsquos manager of oper-ations
They asked for a letter of support from Port McNeill to include in their funding application
Councillor Graham MacDonald was against the idea of training occur-ring in Port McNeill ldquoTheyrsquore going to come here and theyrsquore going to use chemicals and Irsquom dead against itrdquo he said adding that he feels focus should be on eradicating knotweed in Coal Harbour
English says that it is important to remember that the pesticides used in the eradication program are all licensed and permitted and will be administered by crews qualified by the province Crews would be tar-geting outbreaks on municipal prop-erty or rights of way where munici-pal infrastructure goes There would only be work done on private land if permission had previously been obtained
Mayor Shirley Ackland suggested asking for more information on the program and how it would affect Port McNeill including specific plans to deal with the knotweed and if and what kinds of chemicals would be used in the process The issue was tabled until the June 15 meeting

The Ministry of Forests Lands and Natural Resource Operations is considering establishing up to eight new Biodiversity Mining and Tourism Areas (BMTAs) under the Environment and Land Use Act For King Island the ministry is looking at the possibility of establishing a conservancy under the Park Act instead of a BMTA These areas would comprise approximately 295000 hectares of Crown land
The ministry is also proposing to cancel the 2007 South Central Coast Order and Central and North Coast Order and all their amendments (2009 and 2013) and replace these with the proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest land use objectives established by legal order pursuant to Section 934 of the Land Act and for the purposes of the Forest and Range Practices Act The proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest Order sets forest management requirements within the 64 million hectares of the Great Bear Rainforest (see schedule A in the proposed Order) The proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest Order addresses First Nations cultural heritage resources freshwater ecosystems and habitats landscape and stand level biodiversity and bear habitat Together the proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest Order and potential BMTAsconservancy will meet the goals of reserving 70 of historic old growth forests with some minor exceptions while maintaining a viable forest industry in the Great Bear Rainforest
In areas designated as BMTAs commercial logging and hydro-electric power generation linked to the power grid would be prohibited other resource activities and land uses would remain subject to existing legal requirements The designations would only apply to provincial Crown land
Areas designated as conservancies explicitly recognize the importance of the area to First Nations for social ceremonial and cultural uses Conservancies provide for a wider range of low impact compatible economic opportunities than Class A parks however commercial logging mining and hydroelectric power generation other than local run-of-the-river projects are prohibited The designation would only apply to provincial Crown land
The public is invited to comment on the proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest order and potential BMTAsconservancy June 11 2015 to August 10 2015
Copies of the proposed order and associated maps and maps of the potential BMTAsconservancy are available online at httpswwwforgovbccaTASBSLRPGBR_BMTA_LUORhtml

ldquoThere has been little or no upwards move-ment in the global dis-solving pulp market and forecasts indicated that the weak market price for dissolving pulp will continue through 2015 and into 2016rdquo said Chief Executive Officer Wanli Zhao in a letter to employees dated May 19
ldquoThe shareholders have evaluated this sit-
uation as well as the currently reliability of the mill and have come to the decision that in the interest of securing the long-term viability of the Mill the produc-tion curtailment will be extended into 2016rdquo Zhao said
During the curtail-ment the sharehold-ers have approved the development of a number of projects to address mechanical and operational issues that contribute to chronic poor reliability
ldquoItrsquos bad news for all
the people who were planning on going back to work in six monthsrdquo said Village of Port Alice Mayor Jan Allen adding the announce-ment did not come as a complete surprise
In the interim Village administration is ldquowork-ing hard at bringing courses here through North Island Collegerdquo Allen said
For instance the com-munity will be the host for a Building Service Worker Training course being offered July 14 to July 21

STORY IDEACall (250) 949-6225
By Hannah GriffinReporterOn a Friday evening several
cars pull into the small parking lot of the OrsquoConnor Lake Recreation Site south of Port McNeill A group of young people light a crackling fire and listen to music sprawled on a blanket They eat dinner and enjoy some drinks on the grassy lawn by the lake The scene has all the ingredients for a rowdy night in the making but by 930 pm the dying fire and a few bottles lying on the grass are all that linger at the site as the cars hastily pull out of the park-ing lot perhaps taking the young people home in time for curfews
Just outside Port Hardy is Beaver Lake Recreation Area There is a calm lake with seven stone-grey picnic tables a fire pit and a partially-submerged raft White daisies dot the long grass and a confetti-like collection of wet tissues earplugs and empty food wrappers dots the daisies Garbage is clearly visible but a single garbage can is not
Twenty-three kilometres south down the Port Alice Road is the Marble River Recreation Site Mid-afternoon a family is finishing a picnic lunch on a table and taking the remnants in a plastic bag back to their car Not everyone using public areas is as respectful of packing out what they bring in as a mound of garbage deposited in a nearby bush suggests Visitors to these sites should undisputedly be practising responsible site usage and packing out what they bring in The reality is that not everyone does It could be argued that more garbage recep-tacles at these sites would encourage some people to throw out their garbage and treat these sites with more respect According to some individuals closely involved in the care of these sites however this is a surprisingly complex issue as having garbage receptacles can actually create different kinds of problems
Greg Fletcher administrator for the Regional District of Mount Waddington (RDMW) explains that sites on the Alice Lake Loop Recreational Corridor are operated and maintained through a partnership between the RDMW Recreation Trails and Sites BC and Western Forest Products (WFP) including Marble River Beaver Lake Kathleen Lake and Devilrsquos Bath Representatives from each of the three involved groups have noted that the partner-ship has been very successful
Duncan Mactavish district recreation officer for Recreation Sites and Trails BC (Discovery Coast) explains that sites are divided into three groupings fee sites that are managed and where users are pay-ing for a service like Clint Beek non-fee sites that are also managed and user-maintained sites that are not actively managed apart from facility upgrades when needed
Fletcher explains that some of the Alice Lake Loop sites were an obligatory part of WFPrsquos tree farm licence back when they were created The district enters into a contract to help care for the sites from June until Labour Day
The district takes care of their own sites year-round but these specific Alice Lake Loop ones depend on provincial funding to offset the cost of care Kindry Mercer regional engagement officer for WFP says that throughout the year WFP provides a range of maintenance on the sites including identify-ing dangerous trees and felling them but that dur-ing the on-season it is maintained by Recreational Trails and Sites BC and the RDMW Mactavish
says that they provide garbage pick-up at some fee sites but the majority are pack in pack out Fletcher and Mactavish both note the extremely large time commitment it would take to have garbage pick-up at many sites especially when driving time to and between sites is considered
Fletcher says that a major reason these sites do not have garbage disposal is that in the past when there were more garbage disposal units they would be filled to the brim with household waste garbage that bore little resemblance to the typical waste accu-mulated from a few nights of camping or a picnic Mercer echoes this saying that historically when there were more garbage receptacles at sites they ended up being full of waste that did not seem to have any relation to site use Mactavish says that this was a major problem at Beaver Lake in particular
Another issue that involved parties have noted is the need for bear-proof containers in these areas Fletcher says that ldquothe issue is who will provide the bear-proof containersrdquo and that if sites do not have them then garbage needs to be picked up very fre-quently to minimize problems
Leaving garbage receptacles full for extended periods of time can be dangerous for both bears and people
The obvious solution may then appear to be bear-proof containers at every site yet cost is a huge impediment with a single bear bin costing around $2500 not including the cost of installation Mactavish says that their budget is already quite tight and that he would prefer to use funds for things that help improve sites-instead of counteracting user littering - things like repairing and upgrading old infrastructure like rotting picnic tables
There is the additional issue of site usage outside the June-Labour Day period that the RDMWrsquos con-tract runs for During warm spring days and even during this unusually mild past winter people still use these sites and one party of people neglecting to treat a site with respect can quickly leave it riddled with trash
Fletcher acknowledges this and says that they may be open to discussing contracts starting earlier in the spring but that an extension like this would depend on provincial funding This absence of garbage receptacles at some of these sites seems on its face to be counter intuitive to their care and maintenance Upon further investigation however it seems like the lack of waste disposal has been deemed necessary to deal with other behaviours and wildlife manage-ment
The message is clear - whether or not there is a place to deposit garbage it should not be left by users at the scenic sites that dot this region

Marine Education and Research Society (MERS) is putting the fun in fund-raising
On Sunday June 14 MERS will be converg-ing at the Seahorse Cafeacute amp Gallery in Telegraph Cove for the ldquoLove Your Oceanrdquo event from 11 am to 2 pm
Love Your Ocean is a fund-raiser for MERSrsquos whale research and a lsquofunrsquo raiser for families
The event will include games crafts music food a barbecue as well as a raffle and auction
Support from busi-nesses for raffle and silent auction items has been overwhelming with whale watching trips pottery clothing kayaking and more up for grabs says Jackie Hildering humpback whale researcher and education director for MERS
The silent-auction
will be live and on-line as well
The Marine Education and Research Society based in Alert Bay was incorporated in 2010 The association was formed to bring together existing marine research
and education projects as well as to provide a platform from which to conduct further work in the future
The directors of MERS are marine biologists and educa-tors brought together
through their work in the marine environ-ment While based here MERS directors have worked in many coun-tries and oceans
To date MERS research has been focused on projects investigating humpback and minke whales but has also included work on other baleen whales as well as on killer whales in other parts of the world
ldquoWersquore tying to have this event thatrsquos dynam-icrdquo Hildering said add-ing she will be in her dive gear as The Marine Detective and there will be a whole lot of marine puppets as well as the opportunity for people to have their photo taken in whale costumes
People will also
have the opportunity to suggest a name for a Humpback whale
Funds generated will go to support the work the group is doing in the area ldquoAn awful lot of what wersquore doing is all volunteer Therersquos a lot of valuable work being done and we have to find ways to get this work donerdquo
Hildering is grateful for the overwhelming support the society has received from the local business community for the event The eco-tourism companies have made numerous offers available she said The Seahorse Cafeacute is donat-ing the proceeds from their food sales that day to MERS
ldquoItrsquos extremely mov-ing rdquo she said

By Kathy OrsquoReilly-TaylorEditorPeople who entered
Port Hardy Secondary School June 2 would be forgiven for think-ing they had entered a construction zone
The halls rang with the sounds of saw-ing hammering and grinding as crowds of youngsters with the help of teachers and volunteers put togeth-er a personalized wooden bench
The process included students assembling the bench and cus-tomizing it with their initials cut from metal and a PHSS brand they got to burn into the wood
The event was part of a transitions pro-gram which introduced students from six area elementary schools to PHSS which they will be attending in the fall
ldquoThe bench was part of Trades Day which is an Industry Trades Authority (ITA) spon-sored event under the lsquoYes2Itrsquo programrdquo said school Counsellor Levin Prong
ldquoTrades Day is designed to inform and encourage youth to consider future trades
careersrdquo Prong said PHSS woodwork
teacher Joel Dyck and PHSS metal-work teacher Kevin McGhee designed and prepared the bench-es The Woodwork 8 and Metalwork 10-12 classes prefabricated all the pieces They also helped with the
learning process mak-ing sure the newcom-ers followed the safe practices the older students had learned during their studies at PHSS
School District 85 and local trades pro-fessionals were also invited to support and inform students throughout the pro-
cess The Trades Day also served as a fun-filled orientation dur-ing which Grade 7 students were familiar-ized with PHSS the industrial facilities and given the opportu-nity to meet with new peers with whom they will attend school next year

Hannah GriffinReporterPort McNeill-
born David Rannala is bringing relief to homeowners who have botched their houses
The Victoria-based contractor is fea-tured on Home and Garden Televisionrsquos new show ldquoI Wrecked My Houserdquo along-side comedian Steve Patterson Homeowners who have attempted to ren-ovate or fix their own houses with disastrous results are given a les-son from experts and then renovators and then put their skills to use and beautify the mistakes
Rannala owner of Rannala Construction in Victoria and a cer-tified journeyman carpenter says that he ldquoliterally just got kind of a phone call out of the bluerdquo from Ottawa-based televi-sion production com-pany Mountain Road Productions
The company cast him in the show which recently wrapped its first season air-ing now Rannala describes the experi-ence on the show as great but the schedule as hectic with 14 days straight spent shoot-ing each project and a week off in Victoria in between This schedule has allowed Rannala to cultivate a new skill ldquoworking for days on end with basically no sleeprdquo he jokes
The most challeng-ing project Rannala recalls from shooting the first season of ldquoI Wrecked My Houserdquo is the soon to be aired Hastings project a huge amount of work that needed to be com-pleted in a very short amount of time
ldquoIt was basically bulldozer baitrdquo he says
He usually works on custom high-end homes and says that the stress surround-ing the projects on the show is different because it is about fig-uring out quickly how
to move forward and improve the situation The show includes a team of skilled off-air carpenters who keep work moving when Rannala is involved in on-camera work
Rannala lived in Port McNeill until he was around seven and his father is still a resi-dent
Growing up in Port McNeill his life was full of ldquowhat you do as a kid in McNeill fires and fishingrdquo He moved to Victoria dur-ing his childhood and began an apprentice-ship right out of high school
Back in Victoria now that the show is
airing Rannala paus-es for a second while considering his long term goals
ldquoIf the sun and the stars and the moon
align we would bring the film crew to the North Islandrdquo

By Kathy OrsquoReilly-TaylorEditorA local student has
made a national splash with a science project that turns the ocean tide into electricity
Clayton Harderrsquos remarkable journey began at North Island Secondary School in Port McNeill with a project called ldquoTidal Power Pumprdquo
Harder a Grade 8 student designed and made a pump that can generate electricity using tides
ldquoWhile I was down at the docks in Port McNeill I noticed the rise and fall of the tides looked like a pump So I thought I would design a pump that would run off the tides to generate electric-ityrdquo said Clayton of the inspiration for his project
The young man is interested particularly in environmental sci-ences and finding ways to ldquostop stuff from harming the environ-mentrdquo
Harder created a
small-scale prototype which was actually able to run a light for a short period of time
This April Clayton 14 entered his proj-ect into the Northern Vancouver Island Regional Science Fair at NISS His proj-ect won the Michael Crooks Physics award The BC Hydro for Generations award and Top Overall Project award which allowed him to attend the Canada Wide Science Fair (CWSF) in Fredericton New Brunswick
Clayton had to fund-raise over $2000 for this trip said his mom Kathy and was sup-ported by North Island Chipping the Rotary Clubs of Port Hardy and Port McNeill the Lions Clubs of Port Hardy and Port McNeill Lemare Lake Logging Ltd and Strategic Forest Management
NISS Foods Teacher Ricki McCrae pur-chased the ingredients and organized a bake sale and vegetable bundles and firewood were also sold as a fund-raiser
ldquoThey and many others all helped make this trip possiblerdquo said Kathy
ldquoIt made me happy that so many people cared about the science fair and helping people to go thererdquo Clayton said
From May 9 to May 17 Clayton attended this fair along with 500
other kids from across Canada whose projects placed in their regional science fairs There were only 65 projects from BC that made it to the CWSF That total was from the senior intermediate and junior levels combined
The week included a day of judging from 830 am to 530 pm where Clayton was interviewed thoroughly by over 20 different judges There was also two and a half days of public viewing which over 4000 people attended
The event wasnrsquot all work a day was set aside for the kids to go to various sites in the Fredericton area Clayton was able to spend a day at the Bay of Fundy
Friday May 15 featured an awards day ceremony where Clayton was pre-sented with a Silver Medal of Excellence and the Junior Energy Challenge Award The silver medal awards come with a $2000 scholarship to Western University
ldquoThis is a huge achievement as less than one per cent of the science fair projects make it to the Canada Wide Science Fair and out of those less than one third receive any type of awardrdquo said Kathy
ldquoAs parents we are very proud of his accomplishments but we are most proud of who he is He is grow-
ing up to be a fine respectful young man That is what is impor-tantrdquo she said
ldquoWersquove seen increas-ing growth with all the projectsrdquo said Rena Sweeney chair of the Northern Vancouver Island Regional Science Fair Committee
Clayton specifically is ldquolooking at ways to apply his projects to solve real world prob-lemsrdquo Sweeney said
ldquoWersquore looking for-ward to see the direc-tion hersquos going itrdquo she said
And his mind is already turning
Although he is just in the initial stages Clayton hopes to build enough pumps to store energy on a Tesla bat-tery to power a home
While he is think-ing about the future Clayton also has an illustrious past
His forays into sci-ence fairs began in Grade 6 when his project was top proj-ect overall but he was too young to attend the CWSF
In 2014 Claytonrsquos project won top overall project once again and he attended the CWSF event which was held in Windsor Ontario There he won a Bronze Medal of Excellence
Science skills obvi-ously run in the family
Claytonrsquos brother Trevor won top over-all project awards in 2011 and 2012 and attended the CWSF in Toronto and then in Charlottetown PEI

By Hannah GriffinReporterThe Tri-Port
Speedway Association kicked off the 2015 season with a race event on June 7
Stock car racing enthusiasts flocked to the wooden stands above the track and lined the top of the hill on picnic blankets and in lawn chairs
Shortly after 1 pm drivers of the six entered cars gathered in the centre of the clay track to hear asso-ciation President Dan Stewart outline what each flag means event rules and regulations as well as to offer his hopes for the day
ldquoThe best thing you
guys can do is expect to lose every event this yearrdquo he said to the gathered drivers explaining that safety was a major priority
ldquoWe all want to go home in one piecerdquo
Engines began to roar as racers began the trophy dash four laps around the track
Announcer Ken Fraser explained that their stock car events typically run about two to three hours and are composed of three dis-tinct events Following the trophy dash there are two heat races one is a time trial and the second is based on points from that time trial
The last event is
based on points stand-ings from throughout the day
President Dan Stewart and Announcer Ken Fraser explained that the hot dry weath-er it was 18 degrees on race day contributed to some issues with dust They mitigate the problem by spraying down throughout the event but it just evapo-rates
The Tri-Port Speedway Association has another event on June 21 at 1 pm and the Dust Bowl Weekend is set for Aug 22 and 23 Anyone interested in volun-teering can contact organizer Teresa Lee at (250) 949-7273

want to miss the North Island Timing Associationrsquos summer series that promises to provide a million thrills a minute
On June 20-21 the annual Rumble on the Runway will be taking place at the Port McNeill Airport The race is one of three scheduled for this summer The others will be held July 18-19 and Aug 22-23
ldquoEach race day we typically see 50 to 75 carsrdquo said Acting President Chris Sharpe with about 15 from the North island
and the remaining vehicles from Campbell River Courtenay Nanaimo Ladysmith Duncan Shawnigan Lake Victoria Port Alberni Tofino and Powell River
There are typically three class-es of car at the event Sportsman (street carsmini vans) Pro which is a faster car some street cars but mostly dedicated race cars and Super Pro which is basically the same as Pro class but uses ldquoelectronicsrdquo in enginetransmission control
The Rumble on the Runway began in 2008 Sharpe said when ldquoa couple guys were look-ing to promote the sport and
bring a new influx of people to the North Islandrdquo
North Island Timing Association is the only drag rac-ing association on Vancouver Island that runs three large 18 mile bracket races every race season Port Alberni also has a 14 mile track also at a airport but it is only raced on one week-end per year
ldquoWersquore excited to have a actu-al 18 mile track that is recog-nized by the National Hot Rod Associationrdquo said Sharpe
Spectator admission is $5 per person at the gate and there is a concession on site for breakfast and lunch

By Hannah GriffinReporterThe North Island Loggers Golf Tournament
an event that has run for nearly three decades will have golfers swinging their clubs in the friendly weekend event June 20 and 21
The tournament hosted by Seven Hills Golf and Country Club has three flights taking place Saturday morning Saturday afternoon and Sunday
There are prizes for everyone given out Sunday evening and dinner will be provided There is generally an allotment of 144 golf-ers and all prizes are donated by community businesses
Apart from being a sporting event the tournament is notable in that all profits go towards providing scholarships for local stu-dents through Port Hardy Secondary School and North Island Secondary School In pre-vious years the tournament proceeds went towards supporting local people in need and charities and for the previous three years has been supporting scholarships In 2014 six students were recipients of these scholar-ships
Critical to the success of this event is contri-butions by sponsors and any local organiza-tions or businesses interested in doing so may contact Bill Gray at 250-949-7623 or Lito Pineda at 250-956-5234 Donations may be dropped off at the WFP Port McNeill office or can be picked up by committee members (found on the event Facebook page)

By Kathy OrsquoReilly-TaylorEditorPort Alice has been
dealt another blowThe Neucel Specialty
Cellulose mill in Port Alice will be closed lon-
ger than the six months previously announced The closure which began Feb 21 put about 400 people out of work
ldquoThere has been little or no upwards move-ment in the global dis-solving pulp market and forecasts indicated that the weak market price for dissolving pulp will continue through 2015 and into 2016rdquo said Chief Executive Officer Wanli Zhao in a letter to employees dated May 19
ldquoThe shareholders have evaluated this sit-
uation as well as the currently reliability of the mill and have come to the decision that in the interest of securing the long-term viability of the Mill the produc-tion curtailment will be extended into 2016rdquo Zhao said
During the curtail-ment the sharehold-ers have approved the development of a number of projects to address mechanical and operational issues that contribute to chronic poor reliability
ldquoItrsquos bad news for all
the people who were planning on going back to work in six monthsrdquo said Village of Port Alice Mayor Jan Allen adding the announce-ment did not come as a complete surprise
In the interim Village administration is ldquowork-ing hard at bringing courses here through North Island Collegerdquo Allen said
For instance the com-munity will be the host for a Building Service Worker Training course being offered July 14 to July 21

STORY IDEACall (250) 949-6225
By Hannah GriffinReporterOn a Friday evening several
cars pull into the small parking lot of the OrsquoConnor Lake Recreation Site south of Port McNeill A group of young people light a crackling fire and listen to music sprawled on a blanket They eat dinner and enjoy some drinks on the grassy lawn by the lake The scene has all the ingredients for a rowdy night in the making but by 930 pm the dying fire and a few bottles lying on the grass are all that linger at the site as the cars hastily pull out of the park-ing lot perhaps taking the young people home in time for curfews
Just outside Port Hardy is Beaver Lake Recreation Area There is a calm lake with seven stone-grey picnic tables a fire pit and a partially-submerged raft White daisies dot the long grass and a confetti-like collection of wet tissues earplugs and empty food wrappers dots the daisies Garbage is clearly visible but a single garbage can is not
Twenty-three kilometres south down the Port Alice Road is the Marble River Recreation Site Mid-afternoon a family is finishing a picnic lunch on a table and taking the remnants in a plastic bag back to their car Not everyone using public areas is as respectful of packing out what they bring in as a mound of garbage deposited in a nearby bush suggests Visitors to these sites should undisputedly be practising responsible site usage and packing out what they bring in The reality is that not everyone does It could be argued that more garbage recep-tacles at these sites would encourage some people to throw out their garbage and treat these sites with more respect According to some individuals closely involved in the care of these sites however this is a surprisingly complex issue as having garbage receptacles can actually create different kinds of problems
Greg Fletcher administrator for the Regional District of Mount Waddington (RDMW) explains that sites on the Alice Lake Loop Recreational Corridor are operated and maintained through a partnership between the RDMW Recreation Trails and Sites BC and Western Forest Products (WFP) including Marble River Beaver Lake Kathleen Lake and Devilrsquos Bath Representatives from each of the three involved groups have noted that the partner-ship has been very successful
Duncan Mactavish district recreation officer for Recreation Sites and Trails BC (Discovery Coast) explains that sites are divided into three groupings fee sites that are managed and where users are pay-ing for a service like Clint Beek non-fee sites that are also managed and user-maintained sites that are not actively managed apart from facility upgrades when needed
Fletcher explains that some of the Alice Lake Loop sites were an obligatory part of WFPrsquos tree farm licence back when they were created The district enters into a contract to help care for the sites from June until Labour Day
The district takes care of their own sites year-round but these specific Alice Lake Loop ones depend on provincial funding to offset the cost of care Kindry Mercer regional engagement officer for WFP says that throughout the year WFP provides a range of maintenance on the sites including identify-ing dangerous trees and felling them but that dur-ing the on-season it is maintained by Recreational Trails and Sites BC and the RDMW Mactavish
says that they provide garbage pick-up at some fee sites but the majority are pack in pack out Fletcher and Mactavish both note the extremely large time commitment it would take to have garbage pick-up at many sites especially when driving time to and between sites is considered
Fletcher says that a major reason these sites do not have garbage disposal is that in the past when there were more garbage disposal units they would be filled to the brim with household waste garbage that bore little resemblance to the typical waste accu-mulated from a few nights of camping or a picnic Mercer echoes this saying that historically when there were more garbage receptacles at sites they ended up being full of waste that did not seem to have any relation to site use Mactavish says that this was a major problem at Beaver Lake in particular
Another issue that involved parties have noted is the need for bear-proof containers in these areas Fletcher says that ldquothe issue is who will provide the bear-proof containersrdquo and that if sites do not have them then garbage needs to be picked up very fre-quently to minimize problems
Leaving garbage receptacles full for extended periods of time can be dangerous for both bears and people
The obvious solution may then appear to be bear-proof containers at every site yet cost is a huge impediment with a single bear bin costing around $2500 not including the cost of installation Mactavish says that their budget is already quite tight and that he would prefer to use funds for things that help improve sites-instead of counteracting user littering - things like repairing and upgrading old infrastructure like rotting picnic tables
There is the additional issue of site usage outside the June-Labour Day period that the RDMWrsquos con-tract runs for During warm spring days and even during this unusually mild past winter people still use these sites and one party of people neglecting to treat a site with respect can quickly leave it riddled with trash
Fletcher acknowledges this and says that they may be open to discussing contracts starting earlier in the spring but that an extension like this would depend on provincial funding This absence of garbage receptacles at some of these sites seems on its face to be counter intuitive to their care and maintenance Upon further investigation however it seems like the lack of waste disposal has been deemed necessary to deal with other behaviours and wildlife manage-ment
The message is clear - whether or not there is a place to deposit garbage it should not be left by users at the scenic sites that dot this region

Hardy Fire and Rescue respond-ed to a fire at E J Klassenrsquos Motorcade
A 1994 Rolls Royce that was parked in front of the service department began emitting smoke from its engine
The Port Hardy Fire and Rescue Department responded with three trucks about eight minutes after a call was made to 911 about the incident
The firefighters used hoses to
put out the engine fire quickly Norman Darling assistant
service manager at E J Klassen Motorcade says that the owner of the vehicle in question was on his way to the dealership for a service appointment and once he drove the car onto their lot fire began to come out of the left hand side of the car
Darling reports that an E J Klassen employee ran out with a fire extinguisher but was unable to open the hood of the car
The owner of the car was unin-jured

Marine Education and Research Society (MERS) is putting the fun in fund-raising
On Sunday June 14 MERS will be converg-ing at the Seahorse Cafeacute amp Gallery in Telegraph Cove for the ldquoLove Your Oceanrdquo event from 11 am to 2 pm
Love Your Ocean is a fund-raiser for MERSrsquos whale research and a lsquofunrsquo raiser for families
The event will include games crafts music food a barbecue as well as a raffle and auction
Support from busi-nesses for raffle and silent auction items has been overwhelming with whale watching trips pottery clothing kayaking and more up for grabs says Jackie Hildering humpback whale researcher and education director for MERS
The silent-auction
will be live and on-line as well
The Marine Education and Research Society based in Alert Bay was incorporated in 2010 The association was formed to bring together existing marine research
and education projects as well as to provide a platform from which to conduct further work in the future
The directors of MERS are marine biologists and educa-tors brought together
through their work in the marine environ-ment While based here MERS directors have worked in many coun-tries and oceans
To date MERS research has been focused on projects investigating humpback and minke whales but has also included work on other baleen whales as well as on killer whales in other parts of the world
ldquoWersquore tying to have this event thatrsquos dynam-icrdquo Hildering said add-ing she will be in her dive gear as The Marine Detective and there will be a whole lot of marine puppets as well as the opportunity for people to have their photo taken in whale costumes
People will also
have the opportunity to suggest a name for a Humpback whale
Funds generated will go to support the work the group is doing in the area ldquoAn awful lot of what wersquore doing is all volunteer Therersquos a lot of valuable work being done and we have to find ways to get this work donerdquo
Hildering is grateful for the overwhelming support the society has received from the local business community for the event The eco-tourism companies have made numerous offers available she said The Seahorse Cafeacute is donat-ing the proceeds from their food sales that day to MERS
ldquoItrsquos extremely mov-ing rdquo she said

By Kathy OrsquoReilly-TaylorEditorPeople who entered
Port Hardy Secondary School June 2 would be forgiven for think-ing they had entered a construction zone
The halls rang with the sounds of saw-ing hammering and grinding as crowds of youngsters with the help of teachers and volunteers put togeth-er a personalized wooden bench
The process included students assembling the bench and cus-tomizing it with their initials cut from metal and a PHSS brand they got to burn into the wood
The event was part of a transitions pro-gram which introduced students from six area elementary schools to PHSS which they will be attending in the fall
ldquoThe bench was part of Trades Day which is an Industry Trades Authority (ITA) spon-sored event under the lsquoYes2Itrsquo programrdquo said school Counsellor Levin Prong
ldquoTrades Day is designed to inform and encourage youth to consider future trades
careersrdquo Prong said PHSS woodwork
teacher Joel Dyck and PHSS metal-work teacher Kevin McGhee designed and prepared the bench-es The Woodwork 8 and Metalwork 10-12 classes prefabricated all the pieces They also helped with the
learning process mak-ing sure the newcom-ers followed the safe practices the older students had learned during their studies at PHSS
School District 85 and local trades pro-fessionals were also invited to support and inform students throughout the pro-
cess The Trades Day also served as a fun-filled orientation dur-ing which Grade 7 students were familiar-ized with PHSS the industrial facilities and given the opportu-nity to meet with new peers with whom they will attend school next year

Hannah GriffinReporterPort McNeill-
born David Rannala is bringing relief to homeowners who have botched their houses
The Victoria-based contractor is fea-tured on Home and Garden Televisionrsquos new show ldquoI Wrecked My Houserdquo along-side comedian Steve Patterson Homeowners who have attempted to ren-ovate or fix their own houses with disastrous results are given a les-son from experts and then renovators and then put their skills to use and beautify the mistakes
Rannala owner of Rannala Construction in Victoria and a cer-tified journeyman carpenter says that he ldquoliterally just got kind of a phone call out of the bluerdquo from Ottawa-based televi-sion production com-pany Mountain Road Productions
The company cast him in the show which recently wrapped its first season air-ing now Rannala describes the experi-ence on the show as great but the schedule as hectic with 14 days straight spent shoot-ing each project and a week off in Victoria in between This schedule has allowed Rannala to cultivate a new skill ldquoworking for days on end with basically no sleeprdquo he jokes
The most challeng-ing project Rannala recalls from shooting the first season of ldquoI Wrecked My Houserdquo is the soon to be aired Hastings project a huge amount of work that needed to be com-pleted in a very short amount of time
ldquoIt was basically bulldozer baitrdquo he says
He usually works on custom high-end homes and says that the stress surround-ing the projects on the show is different because it is about fig-uring out quickly how
to move forward and improve the situation The show includes a team of skilled off-air carpenters who keep work moving when Rannala is involved in on-camera work
Rannala lived in Port McNeill until he was around seven and his father is still a resi-dent
Growing up in Port McNeill his life was full of ldquowhat you do as a kid in McNeill fires and fishingrdquo He moved to Victoria dur-ing his childhood and began an apprentice-ship right out of high school
Back in Victoria now that the show is
airing Rannala paus-es for a second while considering his long term goals
ldquoIf the sun and the stars and the moon
align we would bring the film crew to the North Islandrdquo
New episodes air Tuesday at 10 pm Eastern and Pacific

By Kathy OrsquoReilly-TaylorEditorA local student has
made a national splash with a science project that turns the ocean tide into electricity
Clayton Harderrsquos remarkable journey began at North Island Secondary School in Port McNeill with a project called ldquoTidal Power Pumprdquo
Harder a Grade 8 student designed and made a pump that can generate electricity using tides
ldquoWhile I was down at the docks in Port McNeill I noticed the rise and fall of the tides looked like a pump So I thought I would design a pump that would run off the tides to generate electric-ityrdquo said Clayton of the inspiration for his project
The young man is interested particularly in environmental sci-ences and finding ways to ldquostop stuff from harming the environ-mentrdquo
Harder created a
small-scale prototype which was actually able to run a light for a short period of time
This April Clayton 14 entered his proj-ect into the Northern Vancouver Island Regional Science Fair at NISS His proj-ect won the Michael Crooks Physics award The BC Hydro for Generations award and Top Overall Project award which allowed him to attend the Canada Wide Science Fair (CWSF) in Fredericton New Brunswick
Clayton had to fund-raise over $2000 for this trip said his mom Kathy and was sup-ported by North Island Chipping the Rotary Clubs of Port Hardy and Port McNeill the Lions Clubs of Port Hardy and Port McNeill Lemare Lake Logging Ltd and Strategic Forest Management
NISS Foods Teacher Ricki McCrae pur-chased the ingredients and organized a bake sale and vegetable bundles and firewood were also sold as a fund-raiser
ldquoThey and many others all helped make this trip possiblerdquo said Kathy
ldquoIt made me happy that so many people cared about the science fair and helping people to go thererdquo Clayton said
From May 9 to May 17 Clayton attended this fair along with 500
other kids from across Canada whose projects placed in their regional science fairs There were only 65 projects from BC that made it to the CWSF That total was from the senior intermediate and junior levels combined
The week included a day of judging from 830 am to 530 pm where Clayton was interviewed thoroughly by over 20 different judges There was also two and a half days of public viewing which over 4000 people attended
The event wasnrsquot all work a day was set aside for the kids to go to various sites in the Fredericton area Clayton was able to spend a day at the Bay of Fundy
Friday May 15 featured an awards day ceremony where Clayton was pre-sented with a Silver Medal of Excellence and the Junior Energy Challenge Award The silver medal awards come with a $2000 scholarship to Western University
ldquoThis is a huge achievement as less than one per cent of the science fair projects make it to the Canada Wide Science Fair and out of those less than one third receive any type of awardrdquo said Kathy
ldquoAs parents we are very proud of his accomplishments but we are most proud of who he is He is grow-
ing up to be a fine respectful young man That is what is impor-tantrdquo she said
ldquoWersquove seen increas-ing growth with all the projectsrdquo said Rena Sweeney chair of the Northern Vancouver Island Regional Science Fair Committee
Clayton specifically is ldquolooking at ways to apply his projects to solve real world prob-lemsrdquo Sweeney said
ldquoWersquore looking for-ward to see the direc-tion hersquos going itrdquo she said
And his mind is already turning
Although he is just in the initial stages Clayton hopes to build enough pumps to store energy on a Tesla bat-tery to power a home
While he is think-ing about the future Clayton also has an illustrious past
His forays into sci-ence fairs began in Grade 6 when his project was top proj-ect overall but he was too young to attend the CWSF
In 2014 Claytonrsquos project won top overall project once again and he attended the CWSF event which was held in Windsor Ontario There he won a Bronze Medal of Excellence
Science skills obvi-ously run in the family
Claytonrsquos brother Trevor won top over-all project awards in 2011 and 2012 and attended the CWSF in Toronto and then in Charlottetown PEI

By Hannah GriffinReporterThe Tri-Port
Speedway Association kicked off the 2015 season with a race event on June 7
Stock car racing enthusiasts flocked to the wooden stands above the track and lined the top of the hill on picnic blankets and in lawn chairs
Shortly after 1 pm drivers of the six entered cars gathered in the centre of the clay track to hear asso-ciation President Dan Stewart outline what each flag means event rules and regulations as well as to offer his hopes for the day
ldquoThe best thing you
guys can do is expect to lose every event this yearrdquo he said to the gathered drivers explaining that safety was a major priority
ldquoWe all want to go home in one piecerdquo
Engines began to roar as racers began the trophy dash four laps around the track
Announcer Ken Fraser explained that their stock car events typically run about two to three hours and are composed of three dis-tinct events Following the trophy dash there are two heat races one is a time trial and the second is based on points from that time trial
The last event is
based on points stand-ings from throughout the day
President Dan Stewart and Announcer Ken Fraser explained that the hot dry weath-er it was 18 degrees on race day contributed to some issues with dust They mitigate the problem by spraying down throughout the event but it just evapo-rates
The Tri-Port Speedway Association has another event on June 21 at 1 pm and the Dust Bowl Weekend is set for Aug 22 and 23 Anyone interested in volun-teering can contact organizer Teresa Lee at (250) 949-7273

On June 20-21 the annual Rumble on the Runway will be taking place at the Port McNeill Airport The race is one of three scheduled for this summer The others will be held July 18-19 and Aug 22-23
ldquoEach race day we typically see 50 to 75 carsrdquo said Acting President Chris Sharpe with about 15 from the North island
and the remaining vehicles from Campbell River Courtenay Nanaimo Ladysmith Duncan Shawnigan Lake Victoria Port Alberni Tofino and Powell River
There are typically three class-es of car at the event Sportsman (street carsmini vans) Pro which is a faster car some street cars but mostly dedicated race cars and Super Pro which is basically the same as Pro class but uses ldquoelectronicsrdquo in enginetransmission control
The Rumble on the Runway began in 2008 Sharpe said when ldquoa couple guys were look-ing to promote the sport and
bring a new influx of people to the North Islandrdquo
North Island Timing Association is the only drag rac-ing association on Vancouver Island that runs three large 18 mile bracket races every race season Port Alberni also has a 14 mile track also at a airport but it is only raced on one week-end per year
ldquoWersquore excited to have a actu-al 18 mile track that is recog-nized by the National Hot Rod Associationrdquo said Sharpe

The tournament hosted by Seven Hills Golf and Country Club has three flights taking place Saturday morning Saturday afternoon and Sunday
There are prizes for everyone given out Sunday evening and dinner will be provided There is generally an allotment of 144 golf-ers and all prizes are donated by community businesses
Apart from being a sporting event the tournament is notable in that all profits go towards providing scholarships for local stu-dents through Port Hardy Secondary School and North Island Secondary School In pre-vious years the tournament proceeds went towards supporting local people in need and charities and for the previous three years has been supporting scholarships In 2014 six students were recipients of these scholar-ships

LOCATION
By Hannah GriffinReporterOn a Friday evening several
cars pull into the small parking lot of the OrsquoConnor Lake Recreation Site south of Port McNeill A group of young people light a crackling fire and listen to music sprawled on a blanket They eat dinner and enjoy some drinks on the grassy lawn by the lake The scene has all the ingredients for a rowdy night in the making but by 930 pm the dying fire and a few bottles lying on the grass are all that linger at the site as the cars hastily pull out of the park-ing lot perhaps taking the young people home in time for curfews
Just outside Port Hardy is Beaver Lake Recreation Area There is a calm lake with seven stone-grey picnic tables a fire pit and a partially-submerged raft White daisies dot the long grass and a confetti-like collection of wet tissues earplugs and empty food wrappers dots the daisies Garbage is clearly visible but a single garbage can is not
Twenty-three kilometres south down the Port Alice Road is the Marble River Recreation Site Mid-afternoon a family is finishing a picnic lunch on a table and taking the remnants in a plastic bag back to their car Not everyone using public areas is as respectful of packing out what they bring in as a mound of garbage deposited in a nearby bush suggests Visitors to these sites should undisputedly be practising responsible site usage and packing out what they bring in The reality is that not everyone does It could be argued that more garbage recep-tacles at these sites would encourage some people to throw out their garbage and treat these sites with more respect According to some individuals closely involved in the care of these sites however this is a surprisingly complex issue as having garbage receptacles can actually create different kinds of problems
Greg Fletcher administrator for the Regional District of Mount Waddington (RDMW) explains that sites on the Alice Lake Loop Recreational Corridor are operated and maintained through a partnership between the RDMW Recreation Trails and Sites BC and Western Forest Products (WFP) including Marble River Beaver Lake Kathleen Lake and Devilrsquos Bath Representatives from each of the three involved groups have noted that the partner-ship has been very successful
Duncan Mactavish district recreation officer for Recreation Sites and Trails BC (Discovery Coast) explains that sites are divided into three groupings fee sites that are managed and where users are pay-ing for a service like Clint Beek non-fee sites that are also managed and user-maintained sites that are not actively managed apart from facility upgrades when needed
Fletcher explains that some of the Alice Lake Loop sites were an obligatory part of WFPrsquos tree farm licence back when they were created The district enters into a contract to help care for the sites from June until Labour Day
The district takes care of their own sites year-round but these specific Alice Lake Loop ones depend on provincial funding to offset the cost of care Kindry Mercer regional engagement officer for WFP says that throughout the year WFP provides a range of maintenance on the sites including identify-ing dangerous trees and felling them but that dur-ing the on-season it is maintained by Recreational Trails and Sites BC and the RDMW Mactavish
says that they provide garbage pick-up at some fee sites but the majority are pack in pack out Fletcher and Mactavish both note the extremely large time commitment it would take to have garbage pick-up at many sites especially when driving time to and between sites is considered
Fletcher says that a major reason these sites do not have garbage disposal is that in the past when there were more garbage disposal units they would be filled to the brim with household waste garbage that bore little resemblance to the typical waste accu-mulated from a few nights of camping or a picnic Mercer echoes this saying that historically when there were more garbage receptacles at sites they ended up being full of waste that did not seem to have any relation to site use Mactavish says that this was a major problem at Beaver Lake in particular
Another issue that involved parties have noted is the need for bear-proof containers in these areas Fletcher says that ldquothe issue is who will provide the bear-proof containersrdquo and that if sites do not have them then garbage needs to be picked up very fre-quently to minimize problems
Leaving garbage receptacles full for extended periods of time can be dangerous for both bears and people
The obvious solution may then appear to be bear-proof containers at every site yet cost is a huge impediment with a single bear bin costing around $2500 not including the cost of installation Mactavish says that their budget is already quite tight and that he would prefer to use funds for things that help improve sites-instead of counteracting user littering - things like repairing and upgrading old infrastructure like rotting picnic tables
There is the additional issue of site usage outside the June-Labour Day period that the RDMWrsquos con-tract runs for During warm spring days and even during this unusually mild past winter people still use these sites and one party of people neglecting to treat a site with respect can quickly leave it riddled with trash
Fletcher acknowledges this and says that they may be open to discussing contracts starting earlier in the spring but that an extension like this would depend on provincial funding This absence of garbage receptacles at some of these sites seems on its face to be counter intuitive to their care and maintenance Upon further investigation however it seems like the lack of waste disposal has been deemed necessary to deal with other behaviours and wildlife manage-ment
The message is clear - whether or not there is a place to deposit garbage it should not be left by users at the scenic sites that dot this region

Marine Education and Research Society (MERS) is putting the fun in fund-raising
On Sunday June 14 MERS will be converg-ing at the Seahorse Cafeacute amp Gallery in Telegraph Cove for the ldquoLove Your Oceanrdquo event from 11 am to 2 pm
Love Your Ocean is a fund-raiser for MERSrsquos whale research and a lsquofunrsquo raiser for families
The event will include games crafts music food a barbecue as well as a raffle and auction
Support from busi-nesses for raffle and silent auction items has been overwhelming with whale watching trips pottery clothing kayaking and more up for grabs says Jackie Hildering humpback whale researcher and education director for MERS
The silent-auction
will be live and on-line as well
The Marine Education and Research Society based in Alert Bay was incorporated in 2010 The association was formed to bring together existing marine research
and education projects as well as to provide a platform from which to conduct further work in the future
The directors of MERS are marine biologists and educa-tors brought together
through their work in the marine environ-ment While based here MERS directors have worked in many coun-tries and oceans
To date MERS research has been focused on projects investigating humpback and minke whales but has also included work on other baleen whales as well as on killer whales in other parts of the world
ldquoWersquore tying to have this event thatrsquos dynam-icrdquo Hildering said add-ing she will be in her dive gear as The Marine Detective and there will be a whole lot of marine puppets as well as the opportunity for people to have their photo taken in whale costumes
People will also
have the opportunity to suggest a name for a Humpback whale
Funds generated will go to support the work the group is doing in the area ldquoAn awful lot of what wersquore doing is all volunteer Therersquos a lot of valuable work being done and we have to find ways to get this work donerdquo
Hildering is grateful for the overwhelming support the society has received from the local business community for the event The eco-tourism companies have made numerous offers available she said The Seahorse Cafeacute is donat-ing the proceeds from their food sales that day to MERS
ldquoItrsquos extremely mov-ing rdquo she said

By Kathy OrsquoReilly-TaylorEditorPeople who entered
Port Hardy Secondary School June 2 would be forgiven for think-ing they had entered a construction zone
The halls rang with the sounds of saw-ing hammering and grinding as crowds of youngsters with the help of teachers and volunteers put togeth-er a personalized wooden bench
The process included students assembling the bench and cus-tomizing it with their initials cut from metal and a PHSS brand they got to burn into the wood
The event was part of a transitions pro-gram which introduced students from six area elementary schools to PHSS which they will be attending in the fall
ldquoThe bench was part of Trades Day which is an Industry Trades Authority (ITA) spon-sored event under the lsquoYes2Itrsquo programrdquo said school Counsellor Levin Prong
ldquoTrades Day is designed to inform and encourage youth to consider future trades
careersrdquo Prong said PHSS woodwork
teacher Joel Dyck and PHSS metal-work teacher Kevin McGhee designed and prepared the bench-es The Woodwork 8 and Metalwork 10-12 classes prefabricated all the pieces They also helped with the
learning process mak-ing sure the newcom-ers followed the safe practices the older students had learned during their studies at PHSS
School District 85 and local trades pro-fessionals were also invited to support and inform students throughout the pro-
cess The Trades Day also served as a fun-filled orientation dur-ing which Grade 7 students were familiar-ized with PHSS the industrial facilities and given the opportu-nity to meet with new peers with whom they will attend school next year

Hannah GriffinReporterPort McNeill-
born David Rannala is bringing relief to homeowners who have botched their houses
The Victoria-based contractor is fea-tured on Home and Garden Televisionrsquos new show ldquoI Wrecked My Houserdquo along-side comedian Steve Patterson Homeowners who have attempted to ren-ovate or fix their own houses with disastrous results are given a les-son from experts and then renovators and then put their skills to use and beautify the mistakes
Rannala owner of Rannala Construction in Victoria and a cer-tified journeyman carpenter says that he ldquoliterally just got kind of a phone call out of the bluerdquo from Ottawa-based televi-sion production com-pany Mountain Road Productions
The company cast him in the show which recently wrapped its first season air-ing now Rannala describes the experi-ence on the show as great but the schedule as hectic with 14 days straight spent shoot-ing each project and a week off in Victoria in between This schedule has allowed Rannala to cultivate a new skill ldquoworking for days on end with basically no sleeprdquo he jokes
The most challeng-ing project Rannala recalls from shooting the first season of ldquoI Wrecked My Houserdquo is the soon to be aired Hastings project a huge amount of work that needed to be com-pleted in a very short amount of time
ldquoIt was basically bulldozer baitrdquo he says
He usually works on custom high-end homes and says that the stress surround-ing the projects on the show is different because it is about fig-uring out quickly how
to move forward and improve the situation The show includes a team of skilled off-air carpenters who keep work moving when Rannala is involved in on-camera work
Rannala lived in Port McNeill until he was around seven and his father is still a resi-dent
Growing up in Port McNeill his life was full of ldquowhat you do as a kid in McNeill fires and fishingrdquo He moved to Victoria dur-ing his childhood and began an apprentice-ship right out of high school
Back in Victoria now that the show is
airing Rannala paus-es for a second while considering his long term goals
ldquoIf the sun and the stars and the moon
align we would bring the film crew to the North Islandrdquo

By Kathy OrsquoReilly-TaylorEditorA local student has
made a national splash with a science project that turns the ocean tide into electricity
Clayton Harderrsquos remarkable journey began at North Island Secondary School in Port McNeill with a project called ldquoTidal Power Pumprdquo
Harder a Grade 8 student designed and made a pump that can generate electricity using tides
ldquoWhile I was down at the docks in Port McNeill I noticed the rise and fall of the tides looked like a pump So I thought I would design a pump that would run off the tides to generate electric-ityrdquo said Clayton of the inspiration for his project
The young man is interested particularly in environmental sci-ences and finding ways to ldquostop stuff from harming the environ-mentrdquo
Harder created a
small-scale prototype which was actually able to run a light for a short period of time
This April Clayton 14 entered his proj-ect into the Northern Vancouver Island Regional Science Fair at NISS His proj-ect won the Michael Crooks Physics award The BC Hydro for Generations award and Top Overall Project award which allowed him to attend the Canada Wide Science Fair (CWSF) in Fredericton New Brunswick
Clayton had to fund-raise over $2000 for this trip said his mom Kathy and was sup-ported by North Island Chipping the Rotary Clubs of Port Hardy and Port McNeill the Lions Clubs of Port Hardy and Port McNeill Lemare Lake Logging Ltd and Strategic Forest Management
NISS Foods Teacher Ricki McCrae pur-chased the ingredients and organized a bake sale and vegetable bundles and firewood were also sold as a fund-raiser
ldquoThey and many others all helped make this trip possiblerdquo said Kathy
ldquoIt made me happy that so many people cared about the science fair and helping people to go thererdquo Clayton said
From May 9 to May 17 Clayton attended this fair along with 500
other kids from across Canada whose projects placed in their regional science fairs There were only 65 projects from BC that made it to the CWSF That total was from the senior intermediate and junior levels combined
The week included a day of judging from 830 am to 530 pm where Clayton was interviewed thoroughly by over 20 different judges There was also two and a half days of public viewing which over 4000 people attended
The event wasnrsquot all work a day was set aside for the kids to go to various sites in the Fredericton area Clayton was able to spend a day at the Bay of Fundy
Friday May 15 featured an awards day ceremony where Clayton was pre-sented with a Silver Medal of Excellence and the Junior Energy Challenge Award The silver medal awards come with a $2000 scholarship to Western University
ldquoThis is a huge achievement as less than one per cent of the science fair projects make it to the Canada Wide Science Fair and out of those less than one third receive any type of awardrdquo said Kathy
ldquoAs parents we are very proud of his accomplishments but we are most proud of who he is He is grow-
ing up to be a fine respectful young man That is what is impor-tantrdquo she said
ldquoWersquove seen increas-ing growth with all the projectsrdquo said Rena Sweeney chair of the Northern Vancouver Island Regional Science Fair Committee
Clayton specifically is ldquolooking at ways to apply his projects to solve real world prob-lemsrdquo Sweeney said
ldquoWersquore looking for-ward to see the direc-tion hersquos going itrdquo she said
And his mind is already turning
Although he is just in the initial stages Clayton hopes to build enough pumps to store energy on a Tesla bat-tery to power a home
While he is think-ing about the future Clayton also has an illustrious past
His forays into sci-ence fairs began in Grade 6 when his project was top proj-ect overall but he was too young to attend the CWSF
In 2014 Claytonrsquos project won top overall project once again and he attended the CWSF event which was held in Windsor Ontario There he won a Bronze Medal of Excellence
Science skills obvi-ously run in the family
Claytonrsquos brother Trevor won top over-all project awards in 2011 and 2012 and attended the CWSF in Toronto and then in Charlottetown PEI

By Hannah GriffinReporterThe Tri-Port
Speedway Association kicked off the 2015 season with a race event on June 7
Stock car racing enthusiasts flocked to the wooden stands above the track and lined the top of the hill on picnic blankets and in lawn chairs
Shortly after 1 pm drivers of the six entered cars gathered in the centre of the clay track to hear asso-ciation President Dan Stewart outline what each flag means event rules and regulations as well as to offer his hopes for the day
ldquoThe best thing you
guys can do is expect to lose every event this yearrdquo he said to the gathered drivers explaining that safety was a major priority
ldquoWe all want to go home in one piecerdquo
Engines began to roar as racers began the trophy dash four laps around the track
Announcer Ken Fraser explained that their stock car events typically run about two to three hours and are composed of three dis-tinct events Following the trophy dash there are two heat races one is a time trial and the second is based on points from that time trial
The last event is
based on points stand-ings from throughout the day
President Dan Stewart and Announcer Ken Fraser explained that the hot dry weath-er it was 18 degrees on race day contributed to some issues with dust They mitigate the problem by spraying down throughout the event but it just evapo-rates
The Tri-Port Speedway Association has another event on June 21 at 1 pm and the Dust Bowl Weekend is set for Aug 22 and 23 Anyone interested in volun-teering can contact organizer Teresa Lee at (250) 949-7273

want to miss the North Island Timing Associationrsquos summer series that promises to provide a million thrills a minute
On June 20-21 the annual Rumble on the Runway will be taking place at the Port McNeill Airport The race is one of three scheduled for this summer The others will be held July 18-19 and Aug 22-23
ldquoEach race day we typically see 50 to 75 carsrdquo said Acting President Chris Sharpe with about 15 from the North island
and the remaining vehicles from Campbell River Courtenay Nanaimo Ladysmith Duncan Shawnigan Lake Victoria Port Alberni Tofino and Powell River
There are typically three class-es of car at the event Sportsman (street carsmini vans) Pro which is a faster car some street cars but mostly dedicated race cars and Super Pro which is basically the same as Pro class but uses ldquoelectronicsrdquo in enginetransmission control
The Rumble on the Runway began in 2008 Sharpe said when ldquoa couple guys were look-ing to promote the sport and
bring a new influx of people to the North Islandrdquo
North Island Timing Association is the only drag rac-ing association on Vancouver Island that runs three large 18 mile bracket races every race season Port Alberni also has a 14 mile track also at a airport but it is only raced on one week-end per year
ldquoWersquore excited to have a actu-al 18 mile track that is recog-nized by the National Hot Rod Associationrdquo said Sharpe
Spectator admission is $5 per person at the gate and there is a concession on site for breakfast and lunch

an event that has run for nearly three decades will have golfers swinging their clubs in the friendly weekend event June 20 and 21
The tournament hosted by Seven Hills Golf and Country Club has three flights taking place Saturday morning Saturday afternoon and Sunday
There are prizes for everyone given out Sunday evening and dinner will be provided There is generally an allotment of 144 golf-ers and all prizes are donated by community businesses
Apart from being a sporting event the tournament is notable in that all profits go towards providing scholarships for local stu-dents through Port Hardy Secondary School and North Island Secondary School In pre-vious years the tournament proceeds went towards supporting local people in need and charities and for the previous three years has been supporting scholarships In 2014 six students were recipients of these scholar-ships
Critical to the success of this event is contri-butions by sponsors and any local organiza-tions or businesses interested in doing so may contact Bill Gray at 250-949-7623 or Lito Pineda at 250-956-5234 Donations may be dropped off at the WFP Port McNeill office or can be picked up by committee members (found on the event Facebook page)

Marine Education and Research Society (MERS) is putting the fun in fund-raising
On Sunday June 14 MERS will be converg-ing at the Seahorse Cafeacute amp Gallery in Telegraph Cove for the ldquoLove Your Oceanrdquo event from 11 am to 2 pm
Love Your Ocean is a fund-raiser for MERSrsquos whale research and a lsquofunrsquo raiser for families
The event will include games crafts music food a barbecue as well as a raffle and auction
Support from busi-nesses for raffle and silent auction items has been overwhelming with whale watching trips pottery clothing kayaking and more up for grabs says Jackie Hildering humpback whale researcher and education director for MERS
The silent-auction
will be live and on-line as well
The Marine Education and Research Society based in Alert Bay was incorporated in 2010 The association was formed to bring together existing marine research
and education projects as well as to provide a platform from which to conduct further work in the future
The directors of MERS are marine biologists and educa-tors brought together
through their work in the marine environ-ment While based here MERS directors have worked in many coun-tries and oceans
To date MERS research has been focused on projects investigating humpback and minke whales but has also included work on other baleen whales as well as on killer whales in other parts of the world
ldquoWersquore tying to have this event thatrsquos dynam-icrdquo Hildering said add-ing she will be in her dive gear as The Marine Detective and there will be a whole lot of marine puppets as well as the opportunity for people to have their photo taken in whale costumes
People will also
have the opportunity to suggest a name for a Humpback whale
Funds generated will go to support the work the group is doing in the area ldquoAn awful lot of what wersquore doing is all volunteer Therersquos a lot of valuable work being done and we have to find ways to get this work donerdquo
Hildering is grateful for the overwhelming support the society has received from the local business community for the event The eco-tourism companies have made numerous offers available she said The Seahorse Cafeacute is donat-ing the proceeds from their food sales that day to MERS
ldquoItrsquos extremely mov-ing rdquo she said

By Kathy OrsquoReilly-TaylorEditorPeople who entered
Port Hardy Secondary School June 2 would be forgiven for think-ing they had entered a construction zone
The halls rang with the sounds of saw-ing hammering and grinding as crowds of youngsters with the help of teachers and volunteers put togeth-er a personalized wooden bench
The process included students assembling the bench and cus-tomizing it with their initials cut from metal and a PHSS brand they got to burn into the wood
The event was part of a transitions pro-gram which introduced students from six area elementary schools to PHSS which they will be attending in the fall
ldquoThe bench was part of Trades Day which is an Industry Trades Authority (ITA) spon-sored event under the lsquoYes2Itrsquo programrdquo said school Counsellor Levin Prong
ldquoTrades Day is designed to inform and encourage youth to consider future trades
careersrdquo Prong said PHSS woodwork
teacher Joel Dyck and PHSS metal-work teacher Kevin McGhee designed and prepared the bench-es The Woodwork 8 and Metalwork 10-12 classes prefabricated all the pieces They also helped with the
learning process mak-ing sure the newcom-ers followed the safe practices the older students had learned during their studies at PHSS
School District 85 and local trades pro-fessionals were also invited to support and inform students throughout the pro-
cess The Trades Day also served as a fun-filled orientation dur-ing which Grade 7 students were familiar-ized with PHSS the industrial facilities and given the opportu-nity to meet with new peers with whom they will attend school next year

Dancestreams Vancouver Islandrsquos longest-established youth dance com-pany will be holding auditions for the coming 2015-16 season on Sunday June 14 at Qualicum Beach School of Dance Formed in 1985 to provide enriched training opportunities for professionally minded teen dancers Dancestreams brings together talented teens from communities throughout Vancouver Island
Every Sunday September to May these dedicated and hard-working young people come together in a cen-tral location for six hours of intensive classes and rehearsals on top of their regular training in the home studios Performance of the new works is a key to the success of the Company - each spring the dancers tour through-out the Vancouver Island region and occasionally further afield

Hannah GriffinReporterPort McNeill-
born David Rannala is bringing relief to homeowners who have botched their houses
The Victoria-based contractor is fea-tured on Home and Garden Televisionrsquos new show ldquoI Wrecked My Houserdquo along-side comedian Steve Patterson Homeowners who have attempted to ren-ovate or fix their own houses with disastrous results are given a les-son from experts and then renovators and then put their skills to use and beautify the mistakes
Rannala owner of Rannala Construction in Victoria and a cer-tified journeyman carpenter says that he ldquoliterally just got kind of a phone call out of the bluerdquo from Ottawa-based televi-sion production com-pany Mountain Road Productions
The company cast him in the show which recently wrapped its first season air-ing now Rannala describes the experi-ence on the show as great but the schedule as hectic with 14 days straight spent shoot-ing each project and a week off in Victoria in between This schedule has allowed Rannala to cultivate a new skill ldquoworking for days on end with basically no sleeprdquo he jokes
The most challeng-ing project Rannala recalls from shooting the first season of ldquoI Wrecked My Houserdquo is the soon to be aired Hastings project a huge amount of work that needed to be com-pleted in a very short amount of time
ldquoIt was basically bulldozer baitrdquo he says
He usually works on custom high-end homes and says that the stress surround-ing the projects on the show is different because it is about fig-uring out quickly how
to move forward and improve the situation The show includes a team of skilled off-air carpenters who keep work moving when Rannala is involved in on-camera work
Rannala lived in Port McNeill until he was around seven and his father is still a resi-dent
Growing up in Port McNeill his life was full of ldquowhat you do as a kid in McNeill fires and fishingrdquo He moved to Victoria dur-ing his childhood and began an apprentice-ship right out of high school
Back in Victoria now that the show is
airing Rannala paus-es for a second while considering his long term goals
ldquoIf the sun and the stars and the moon
align we would bring the film crew to the North Islandrdquo
New episodes air Tuesday at 10 pm Eastern and Pacific

By Kathy OrsquoReilly-TaylorEditorA local student has
made a national splash with a science project that turns the ocean tide into electricity
Clayton Harderrsquos remarkable journey began at North Island Secondary School in Port McNeill with a project called ldquoTidal Power Pumprdquo
Harder a Grade 8 student designed and made a pump that can generate electricity using tides
ldquoWhile I was down at the docks in Port McNeill I noticed the rise and fall of the tides looked like a pump So I thought I would design a pump that would run off the tides to generate electric-ityrdquo said Clayton of the inspiration for his project
The young man is interested particularly in environmental sci-ences and finding ways to ldquostop stuff from harming the environ-mentrdquo
Harder created a
small-scale prototype which was actually able to run a light for a short period of time
This April Clayton 14 entered his proj-ect into the Northern Vancouver Island Regional Science Fair at NISS His proj-ect won the Michael Crooks Physics award The BC Hydro for Generations award and Top Overall Project award which allowed him to attend the Canada Wide Science Fair (CWSF) in Fredericton New Brunswick
Clayton had to fund-raise over $2000 for this trip said his mom Kathy and was sup-ported by North Island Chipping the Rotary Clubs of Port Hardy and Port McNeill the Lions Clubs of Port Hardy and Port McNeill Lemare Lake Logging Ltd and Strategic Forest Management
NISS Foods Teacher Ricki McCrae pur-chased the ingredients and organized a bake sale and vegetable bundles and firewood were also sold as a fund-raiser
ldquoThey and many others all helped make this trip possiblerdquo said Kathy
ldquoIt made me happy that so many people cared about the science fair and helping people to go thererdquo Clayton said
From May 9 to May 17 Clayton attended this fair along with 500
other kids from across Canada whose projects placed in their regional science fairs There were only 65 projects from BC that made it to the CWSF That total was from the senior intermediate and junior levels combined
The week included a day of judging from 830 am to 530 pm where Clayton was interviewed thoroughly by over 20 different judges There was also two and a half days of public viewing which over 4000 people attended
The event wasnrsquot all work a day was set aside for the kids to go to various sites in the Fredericton area Clayton was able to spend a day at the Bay of Fundy
Friday May 15 featured an awards day ceremony where Clayton was pre-sented with a Silver Medal of Excellence and the Junior Energy Challenge Award The silver medal awards come with a $2000 scholarship to Western University
ldquoThis is a huge achievement as less than one per cent of the science fair projects make it to the Canada Wide Science Fair and out of those less than one third receive any type of awardrdquo said Kathy
ldquoAs parents we are very proud of his accomplishments but we are most proud of who he is He is grow-
ing up to be a fine respectful young man That is what is impor-tantrdquo she said
ldquoWersquove seen increas-ing growth with all the projectsrdquo said Rena Sweeney chair of the Northern Vancouver Island Regional Science Fair Committee
Clayton specifically is ldquolooking at ways to apply his projects to solve real world prob-lemsrdquo Sweeney said
ldquoWersquore looking for-ward to see the direc-tion hersquos going itrdquo she said
And his mind is already turning
Although he is just in the initial stages Clayton hopes to build enough pumps to store energy on a Tesla bat-tery to power a home
While he is think-ing about the future Clayton also has an illustrious past
His forays into sci-ence fairs began in Grade 6 when his project was top proj-ect overall but he was too young to attend the CWSF
In 2014 Claytonrsquos project won top overall project once again and he attended the CWSF event which was held in Windsor Ontario There he won a Bronze Medal of Excellence
Science skills obvi-ously run in the family
Claytonrsquos brother Trevor won top over-all project awards in 2011 and 2012 and attended the CWSF in Toronto and then in Charlottetown PEI

By Hannah GriffinReporterThe Tri-Port
Speedway Association kicked off the 2015 season with a race event on June 7
Stock car racing enthusiasts flocked to the wooden stands above the track and lined the top of the hill on picnic blankets and in lawn chairs
Shortly after 1 pm drivers of the six entered cars gathered in the centre of the clay track to hear asso-ciation President Dan Stewart outline what each flag means event rules and regulations as well as to offer his hopes for the day
ldquoThe best thing you
guys can do is expect to lose every event this yearrdquo he said to the gathered drivers explaining that safety was a major priority
ldquoWe all want to go home in one piecerdquo
Engines began to roar as racers began the trophy dash four laps around the track
Announcer Ken Fraser explained that their stock car events typically run about two to three hours and are composed of three dis-tinct events Following the trophy dash there are two heat races one is a time trial and the second is based on points from that time trial
The last event is
based on points stand-ings from throughout the day
President Dan Stewart and Announcer Ken Fraser explained that the hot dry weath-er it was 18 degrees on race day contributed to some issues with dust They mitigate the problem by spraying down throughout the event but it just evapo-rates
The Tri-Port Speedway Association has another event on June 21 at 1 pm and the Dust Bowl Weekend is set for Aug 22 and 23 Anyone interested in volun-teering can contact organizer Teresa Lee at (250) 949-7273

want to miss the North Island Timing Associationrsquos summer series that promises to provide a million thrills a minute
On June 20-21 the annual Rumble on the Runway will be taking place at the Port McNeill Airport The race is one of three scheduled for this summer The others will be held July 18-19 and Aug 22-23
ldquoEach race day we typically see 50 to 75 carsrdquo said Acting President Chris Sharpe with about 15 from the North island
and the remaining vehicles from Campbell River Courtenay Nanaimo Ladysmith Duncan Shawnigan Lake Victoria Port Alberni Tofino and Powell River
There are typically three class-es of car at the event Sportsman (street carsmini vans) Pro which is a faster car some street cars but mostly dedicated race cars and Super Pro which is basically the same as Pro class but uses ldquoelectronicsrdquo in enginetransmission control
The Rumble on the Runway began in 2008 Sharpe said when ldquoa couple guys were look-ing to promote the sport and
bring a new influx of people to the North Islandrdquo
North Island Timing Association is the only drag rac-ing association on Vancouver Island that runs three large 18 mile bracket races every race season Port Alberni also has a 14 mile track also at a airport but it is only raced on one week-end per year
ldquoWersquore excited to have a actu-al 18 mile track that is recog-nized by the National Hot Rod Associationrdquo said Sharpe
Spectator admission is $5 per person at the gate and there is a concession on site for breakfast and lunch

an event that has run for nearly three decades will have golfers swinging their clubs in the friendly weekend event June 20 and 21
The tournament hosted by Seven Hills Golf and Country Club has three flights taking place Saturday morning Saturday afternoon and Sunday
There are prizes for everyone given out Sunday evening and dinner will be provided There is generally an allotment of 144 golf-ers and all prizes are donated by community businesses
Apart from being a sporting event the tournament is notable in that all profits go towards providing scholarships for local stu-dents through Port Hardy Secondary School and North Island Secondary School In pre-vious years the tournament proceeds went towards supporting local people in need and charities and for the previous three years has been supporting scholarships In 2014 six students were recipients of these scholar-ships

LOCATION
By Kathy OrsquoReilly-TaylorEditorPeople who entered
Port Hardy Secondary School June 2 would be forgiven for think-ing they had entered a construction zone
The halls rang with the sounds of saw-ing hammering and grinding as crowds of youngsters with the help of teachers and volunteers put togeth-er a personalized wooden bench
The process included students assembling the bench and cus-tomizing it with their initials cut from metal and a PHSS brand they got to burn into the wood
The event was part of a transitions pro-gram which introduced students from six area elementary schools to PHSS which they will be attending in the fall
ldquoThe bench was part of Trades Day which is an Industry Trades Authority (ITA) spon-sored event under the lsquoYes2Itrsquo programrdquo said school Counsellor Levin Prong
ldquoTrades Day is designed to inform and encourage youth to consider future trades
careersrdquo Prong said PHSS woodwork
teacher Joel Dyck and PHSS metal-work teacher Kevin McGhee designed and prepared the bench-es The Woodwork 8 and Metalwork 10-12 classes prefabricated all the pieces They also helped with the
learning process mak-ing sure the newcom-ers followed the safe practices the older students had learned during their studies at PHSS
School District 85 and local trades pro-fessionals were also invited to support and inform students throughout the pro-
cess The Trades Day also served as a fun-filled orientation dur-ing which Grade 7 students were familiar-ized with PHSS the industrial facilities and given the opportu-nity to meet with new peers with whom they will attend school next year

Hannah GriffinReporterPort McNeill-
born David Rannala is bringing relief to homeowners who have botched their houses
The Victoria-based contractor is fea-tured on Home and Garden Televisionrsquos new show ldquoI Wrecked My Houserdquo along-side comedian Steve Patterson Homeowners who have attempted to ren-ovate or fix their own houses with disastrous results are given a les-son from experts and then renovators and then put their skills to use and beautify the mistakes
Rannala owner of Rannala Construction in Victoria and a cer-tified journeyman carpenter says that he ldquoliterally just got kind of a phone call out of the bluerdquo from Ottawa-based televi-sion production com-pany Mountain Road Productions
The company cast him in the show which recently wrapped its first season air-ing now Rannala describes the experi-ence on the show as great but the schedule as hectic with 14 days straight spent shoot-ing each project and a week off in Victoria in between This schedule has allowed Rannala to cultivate a new skill ldquoworking for days on end with basically no sleeprdquo he jokes
The most challeng-ing project Rannala recalls from shooting the first season of ldquoI Wrecked My Houserdquo is the soon to be aired Hastings project a huge amount of work that needed to be com-pleted in a very short amount of time
ldquoIt was basically bulldozer baitrdquo he says
He usually works on custom high-end homes and says that the stress surround-ing the projects on the show is different because it is about fig-uring out quickly how
to move forward and improve the situation The show includes a team of skilled off-air carpenters who keep work moving when Rannala is involved in on-camera work
Rannala lived in Port McNeill until he was around seven and his father is still a resi-dent
Growing up in Port McNeill his life was full of ldquowhat you do as a kid in McNeill fires and fishingrdquo He moved to Victoria dur-ing his childhood and began an apprentice-ship right out of high school
Back in Victoria now that the show is
airing Rannala paus-es for a second while considering his long term goals
ldquoIf the sun and the stars and the moon
align we would bring the film crew to the North Islandrdquo
New episodes air Tuesday at 10 pm Eastern and Pacific

By Kathy OrsquoReilly-TaylorEditorA local student has
made a national splash with a science project that turns the ocean tide into electricity
Clayton Harderrsquos remarkable journey began at North Island Secondary School in Port McNeill with a project called ldquoTidal Power Pumprdquo
Harder a Grade 8 student designed and made a pump that can generate electricity using tides
ldquoWhile I was down at the docks in Port McNeill I noticed the rise and fall of the tides looked like a pump So I thought I would design a pump that would run off the tides to generate electric-ityrdquo said Clayton of the inspiration for his project
The young man is interested particularly in environmental sci-ences and finding ways to ldquostop stuff from harming the environ-mentrdquo
Harder created a
small-scale prototype which was actually able to run a light for a short period of time
This April Clayton 14 entered his proj-ect into the Northern Vancouver Island Regional Science Fair at NISS His proj-ect won the Michael Crooks Physics award The BC Hydro for Generations award and Top Overall Project award which allowed him to attend the Canada Wide Science Fair (CWSF) in Fredericton New Brunswick
Clayton had to fund-raise over $2000 for this trip said his mom Kathy and was sup-ported by North Island Chipping the Rotary Clubs of Port Hardy and Port McNeill the Lions Clubs of Port Hardy and Port McNeill Lemare Lake Logging Ltd and Strategic Forest Management
NISS Foods Teacher Ricki McCrae pur-chased the ingredients and organized a bake sale and vegetable bundles and firewood were also sold as a fund-raiser
ldquoThey and many others all helped make this trip possiblerdquo said Kathy
ldquoIt made me happy that so many people cared about the science fair and helping people to go thererdquo Clayton said
From May 9 to May 17 Clayton attended this fair along with 500
other kids from across Canada whose projects placed in their regional science fairs There were only 65 projects from BC that made it to the CWSF That total was from the senior intermediate and junior levels combined
The week included a day of judging from 830 am to 530 pm where Clayton was interviewed thoroughly by over 20 different judges There was also two and a half days of public viewing which over 4000 people attended
The event wasnrsquot all work a day was set aside for the kids to go to various sites in the Fredericton area Clayton was able to spend a day at the Bay of Fundy
Friday May 15 featured an awards day ceremony where Clayton was pre-sented with a Silver Medal of Excellence and the Junior Energy Challenge Award The silver medal awards come with a $2000 scholarship to Western University
ldquoThis is a huge achievement as less than one per cent of the science fair projects make it to the Canada Wide Science Fair and out of those less than one third receive any type of awardrdquo said Kathy
ldquoAs parents we are very proud of his accomplishments but we are most proud of who he is He is grow-
ing up to be a fine respectful young man That is what is impor-tantrdquo she said
ldquoWersquove seen increas-ing growth with all the projectsrdquo said Rena Sweeney chair of the Northern Vancouver Island Regional Science Fair Committee
Clayton specifically is ldquolooking at ways to apply his projects to solve real world prob-lemsrdquo Sweeney said
ldquoWersquore looking for-ward to see the direc-tion hersquos going itrdquo she said
And his mind is already turning
Although he is just in the initial stages Clayton hopes to build enough pumps to store energy on a Tesla bat-tery to power a home
While he is think-ing about the future Clayton also has an illustrious past
His forays into sci-ence fairs began in Grade 6 when his project was top proj-ect overall but he was too young to attend the CWSF
In 2014 Claytonrsquos project won top overall project once again and he attended the CWSF event which was held in Windsor Ontario There he won a Bronze Medal of Excellence
Science skills obvi-ously run in the family
Claytonrsquos brother Trevor won top over-all project awards in 2011 and 2012 and attended the CWSF in Toronto and then in Charlottetown PEI

By Hannah GriffinReporterThe Tri-Port
Speedway Association kicked off the 2015 season with a race event on June 7
Stock car racing enthusiasts flocked to the wooden stands above the track and lined the top of the hill on picnic blankets and in lawn chairs
Shortly after 1 pm drivers of the six entered cars gathered in the centre of the clay track to hear asso-ciation President Dan Stewart outline what each flag means event rules and regulations as well as to offer his hopes for the day
ldquoThe best thing you
guys can do is expect to lose every event this yearrdquo he said to the gathered drivers explaining that safety was a major priority
ldquoWe all want to go home in one piecerdquo
Engines began to roar as racers began the trophy dash four laps around the track
Announcer Ken Fraser explained that their stock car events typically run about two to three hours and are composed of three dis-tinct events Following the trophy dash there are two heat races one is a time trial and the second is based on points from that time trial
The last event is
based on points stand-ings from throughout the day
President Dan Stewart and Announcer Ken Fraser explained that the hot dry weath-er it was 18 degrees on race day contributed to some issues with dust They mitigate the problem by spraying down throughout the event but it just evapo-rates
The Tri-Port Speedway Association has another event on June 21 at 1 pm and the Dust Bowl Weekend is set for Aug 22 and 23 Anyone interested in volun-teering can contact organizer Teresa Lee at (250) 949-7273

On June 20-21 the annual Rumble on the Runway will be taking place at the Port McNeill Airport The race is one of three scheduled for this summer The others will be held July 18-19 and Aug 22-23
ldquoEach race day we typically see 50 to 75 carsrdquo said Acting President Chris Sharpe with about 15 from the North island
and the remaining vehicles from Campbell River Courtenay Nanaimo Ladysmith Duncan Shawnigan Lake Victoria Port Alberni Tofino and Powell River
There are typically three class-es of car at the event Sportsman (street carsmini vans) Pro which is a faster car some street cars but mostly dedicated race cars and Super Pro which is basically the same as Pro class but uses ldquoelectronicsrdquo in enginetransmission control
The Rumble on the Runway began in 2008 Sharpe said when ldquoa couple guys were look-ing to promote the sport and
bring a new influx of people to the North Islandrdquo
North Island Timing Association is the only drag rac-ing association on Vancouver Island that runs three large 18 mile bracket races every race season Port Alberni also has a 14 mile track also at a airport but it is only raced on one week-end per year
ldquoWersquore excited to have a actu-al 18 mile track that is recog-nized by the National Hot Rod Associationrdquo said Sharpe

The tournament hosted by Seven Hills Golf and Country Club has three flights taking place Saturday morning Saturday afternoon and Sunday
There are prizes for everyone given out Sunday evening and dinner will be provided There is generally an allotment of 144 golf-ers and all prizes are donated by community businesses

Hannah GriffinReporterPort McNeill-
born David Rannala is bringing relief to homeowners who have botched their houses
The Victoria-based contractor is fea-tured on Home and Garden Televisionrsquos new show ldquoI Wrecked My Houserdquo along-side comedian Steve Patterson Homeowners who have attempted to ren-ovate or fix their own houses with disastrous results are given a les-son from experts and then renovators and then put their skills to use and beautify the mistakes
Rannala owner of Rannala Construction in Victoria and a cer-tified journeyman carpenter says that he ldquoliterally just got kind of a phone call out of the bluerdquo from Ottawa-based televi-sion production com-pany Mountain Road Productions
The company cast him in the show which recently wrapped its first season air-ing now Rannala describes the experi-ence on the show as great but the schedule as hectic with 14 days straight spent shoot-ing each project and a week off in Victoria in between This schedule has allowed Rannala to cultivate a new skill ldquoworking for days on end with basically no sleeprdquo he jokes
The most challeng-ing project Rannala recalls from shooting the first season of ldquoI Wrecked My Houserdquo is the soon to be aired Hastings project a huge amount of work that needed to be com-pleted in a very short amount of time
ldquoIt was basically bulldozer baitrdquo he says
He usually works on custom high-end homes and says that the stress surround-ing the projects on the show is different because it is about fig-uring out quickly how
to move forward and improve the situation The show includes a team of skilled off-air carpenters who keep work moving when Rannala is involved in on-camera work
Rannala lived in Port McNeill until he was around seven and his father is still a resi-dent
Growing up in Port McNeill his life was full of ldquowhat you do as a kid in McNeill fires and fishingrdquo He moved to Victoria dur-ing his childhood and began an apprentice-ship right out of high school
Back in Victoria now that the show is
airing Rannala paus-es for a second while considering his long term goals
ldquoIf the sun and the stars and the moon
align we would bring the film crew to the North Islandrdquo
New episodes air Tuesday at 10 pm Eastern and Pacific

By Kathy OrsquoReilly-TaylorEditorA local student has
made a national splash with a science project that turns the ocean tide into electricity
Clayton Harderrsquos remarkable journey began at North Island Secondary School in Port McNeill with a project called ldquoTidal Power Pumprdquo
Harder a Grade 8 student designed and made a pump that can generate electricity using tides
ldquoWhile I was down at the docks in Port McNeill I noticed the rise and fall of the tides looked like a pump So I thought I would design a pump that would run off the tides to generate electric-ityrdquo said Clayton of the inspiration for his project
The young man is interested particularly in environmental sci-ences and finding ways to ldquostop stuff from harming the environ-mentrdquo
Harder created a
small-scale prototype which was actually able to run a light for a short period of time
This April Clayton 14 entered his proj-ect into the Northern Vancouver Island Regional Science Fair at NISS His proj-ect won the Michael Crooks Physics award The BC Hydro for Generations award and Top Overall Project award which allowed him to attend the Canada Wide Science Fair (CWSF) in Fredericton New Brunswick
Clayton had to fund-raise over $2000 for this trip said his mom Kathy and was sup-ported by North Island Chipping the Rotary Clubs of Port Hardy and Port McNeill the Lions Clubs of Port Hardy and Port McNeill Lemare Lake Logging Ltd and Strategic Forest Management
NISS Foods Teacher Ricki McCrae pur-chased the ingredients and organized a bake sale and vegetable bundles and firewood were also sold as a fund-raiser
ldquoThey and many others all helped make this trip possiblerdquo said Kathy
ldquoIt made me happy that so many people cared about the science fair and helping people to go thererdquo Clayton said
From May 9 to May 17 Clayton attended this fair along with 500
other kids from across Canada whose projects placed in their regional science fairs There were only 65 projects from BC that made it to the CWSF That total was from the senior intermediate and junior levels combined
The week included a day of judging from 830 am to 530 pm where Clayton was interviewed thoroughly by over 20 different judges There was also two and a half days of public viewing which over 4000 people attended
The event wasnrsquot all work a day was set aside for the kids to go to various sites in the Fredericton area Clayton was able to spend a day at the Bay of Fundy
Friday May 15 featured an awards day ceremony where Clayton was pre-sented with a Silver Medal of Excellence and the Junior Energy Challenge Award The silver medal awards come with a $2000 scholarship to Western University
ldquoThis is a huge achievement as less than one per cent of the science fair projects make it to the Canada Wide Science Fair and out of those less than one third receive any type of awardrdquo said Kathy
ldquoAs parents we are very proud of his accomplishments but we are most proud of who he is He is grow-
ing up to be a fine respectful young man That is what is impor-tantrdquo she said
ldquoWersquove seen increas-ing growth with all the projectsrdquo said Rena Sweeney chair of the Northern Vancouver Island Regional Science Fair Committee
Clayton specifically is ldquolooking at ways to apply his projects to solve real world prob-lemsrdquo Sweeney said
ldquoWersquore looking for-ward to see the direc-tion hersquos going itrdquo she said
And his mind is already turning
Although he is just in the initial stages Clayton hopes to build enough pumps to store energy on a Tesla bat-tery to power a home
While he is think-ing about the future Clayton also has an illustrious past
His forays into sci-ence fairs began in Grade 6 when his project was top proj-ect overall but he was too young to attend the CWSF
In 2014 Claytonrsquos project won top overall project once again and he attended the CWSF event which was held in Windsor Ontario There he won a Bronze Medal of Excellence
Science skills obvi-ously run in the family
Claytonrsquos brother Trevor won top over-all project awards in 2011 and 2012 and attended the CWSF in Toronto and then in Charlottetown PEI

By Hannah GriffinReporterThe Tri-Port
Speedway Association kicked off the 2015 season with a race event on June 7
Stock car racing enthusiasts flocked to the wooden stands above the track and lined the top of the hill on picnic blankets and in lawn chairs
Shortly after 1 pm drivers of the six entered cars gathered in the centre of the clay track to hear asso-ciation President Dan Stewart outline what each flag means event rules and regulations as well as to offer his hopes for the day
ldquoThe best thing you
guys can do is expect to lose every event this yearrdquo he said to the gathered drivers explaining that safety was a major priority
ldquoWe all want to go home in one piecerdquo
Engines began to roar as racers began the trophy dash four laps around the track
Announcer Ken Fraser explained that their stock car events typically run about two to three hours and are composed of three dis-tinct events Following the trophy dash there are two heat races one is a time trial and the second is based on points from that time trial
The last event is
based on points stand-ings from throughout the day
President Dan Stewart and Announcer Ken Fraser explained that the hot dry weath-er it was 18 degrees on race day contributed to some issues with dust They mitigate the problem by spraying down throughout the event but it just evapo-rates
The Tri-Port Speedway Association has another event on June 21 at 1 pm and the Dust Bowl Weekend is set for Aug 22 and 23 Anyone interested in volun-teering can contact organizer Teresa Lee at (250) 949-7273

want to miss the North Island Timing Associationrsquos summer series that promises to provide a million thrills a minute
On June 20-21 the annual Rumble on the Runway will be taking place at the Port McNeill Airport The race is one of three scheduled for this summer The others will be held July 18-19 and Aug 22-23
ldquoEach race day we typically see 50 to 75 carsrdquo said Acting President Chris Sharpe with about 15 from the North island
and the remaining vehicles from Campbell River Courtenay Nanaimo Ladysmith Duncan Shawnigan Lake Victoria Port Alberni Tofino and Powell River
There are typically three class-es of car at the event Sportsman (street carsmini vans) Pro which is a faster car some street cars but mostly dedicated race cars and Super Pro which is basically the same as Pro class but uses ldquoelectronicsrdquo in enginetransmission control
The Rumble on the Runway began in 2008 Sharpe said when ldquoa couple guys were look-ing to promote the sport and
bring a new influx of people to the North Islandrdquo
North Island Timing Association is the only drag rac-ing association on Vancouver Island that runs three large 18 mile bracket races every race season Port Alberni also has a 14 mile track also at a airport but it is only raced on one week-end per year
ldquoWersquore excited to have a actu-al 18 mile track that is recog-nized by the National Hot Rod Associationrdquo said Sharpe
Spectator admission is $5 per person at the gate and there is a concession on site for breakfast and lunch

The tournament hosted by Seven Hills Golf and Country Club has three flights taking place Saturday morning Saturday afternoon and Sunday
There are prizes for everyone given out Sunday evening and dinner will be provided There is generally an allotment of 144 golf-ers and all prizes are donated by community businesses

Hannah GriffinReporterPort McNeill-
born David Rannala is bringing relief to homeowners who have botched their houses
The Victoria-based contractor is fea-tured on Home and Garden Televisionrsquos new show ldquoI Wrecked My Houserdquo along-side comedian Steve Patterson Homeowners who have attempted to ren-ovate or fix their own houses with disastrous results are given a les-son from experts and then renovators and then put their skills to use and beautify the mistakes
Rannala owner of Rannala Construction in Victoria and a cer-tified journeyman carpenter says that he ldquoliterally just got kind of a phone call out of the bluerdquo from Ottawa-based televi-sion production com-pany Mountain Road Productions
The company cast him in the show which recently wrapped its first season air-ing now Rannala describes the experi-ence on the show as great but the schedule as hectic with 14 days straight spent shoot-ing each project and a week off in Victoria in between This schedule has allowed Rannala to cultivate a new skill ldquoworking for days on end with basically no sleeprdquo he jokes
The most challeng-ing project Rannala recalls from shooting the first season of ldquoI Wrecked My Houserdquo is the soon to be aired Hastings project a huge amount of work that needed to be com-pleted in a very short amount of time
ldquoIt was basically bulldozer baitrdquo he says
He usually works on custom high-end homes and says that the stress surround-ing the projects on the show is different because it is about fig-uring out quickly how
to move forward and improve the situation The show includes a team of skilled off-air carpenters who keep work moving when Rannala is involved in on-camera work
Rannala lived in Port McNeill until he was around seven and his father is still a resi-dent
Growing up in Port McNeill his life was full of ldquowhat you do as a kid in McNeill fires and fishingrdquo He moved to Victoria dur-ing his childhood and began an apprentice-ship right out of high school
Back in Victoria now that the show is
airing Rannala paus-es for a second while considering his long term goals
ldquoIf the sun and the stars and the moon
align we would bring the film crew to the North Islandrdquo
New episodes air Tuesday at 10 pm Eastern and Pacific

By Kathy OrsquoReilly-TaylorEditorA local student has
made a national splash with a science project that turns the ocean tide into electricity
Clayton Harderrsquos remarkable journey began at North Island Secondary School in Port McNeill with a project called ldquoTidal Power Pumprdquo
Harder a Grade 8 student designed and made a pump that can generate electricity using tides
ldquoWhile I was down at the docks in Port McNeill I noticed the rise and fall of the tides looked like a pump So I thought I would design a pump that would run off the tides to generate electric-ityrdquo said Clayton of the inspiration for his project
The young man is interested particularly in environmental sci-ences and finding ways to ldquostop stuff from harming the environ-mentrdquo
Harder created a
small-scale prototype which was actually able to run a light for a short period of time
This April Clayton 14 entered his proj-ect into the Northern Vancouver Island Regional Science Fair at NISS His proj-ect won the Michael Crooks Physics award The BC Hydro for Generations award and Top Overall Project award which allowed him to attend the Canada Wide Science Fair (CWSF) in Fredericton New Brunswick
Clayton had to fund-raise over $2000 for this trip said his mom Kathy and was sup-ported by North Island Chipping the Rotary Clubs of Port Hardy and Port McNeill the Lions Clubs of Port Hardy and Port McNeill Lemare Lake Logging Ltd and Strategic Forest Management
NISS Foods Teacher Ricki McCrae pur-chased the ingredients and organized a bake sale and vegetable bundles and firewood were also sold as a fund-raiser
ldquoThey and many others all helped make this trip possiblerdquo said Kathy
ldquoIt made me happy that so many people cared about the science fair and helping people to go thererdquo Clayton said
From May 9 to May 17 Clayton attended this fair along with 500
other kids from across Canada whose projects placed in their regional science fairs There were only 65 projects from BC that made it to the CWSF That total was from the senior intermediate and junior levels combined
The week included a day of judging from 830 am to 530 pm where Clayton was interviewed thoroughly by over 20 different judges There was also two and a half days of public viewing which over 4000 people attended
The event wasnrsquot all work a day was set aside for the kids to go to various sites in the Fredericton area Clayton was able to spend a day at the Bay of Fundy
Friday May 15 featured an awards day ceremony where Clayton was pre-sented with a Silver Medal of Excellence and the Junior Energy Challenge Award The silver medal awards come with a $2000 scholarship to Western University
ldquoThis is a huge achievement as less than one per cent of the science fair projects make it to the Canada Wide Science Fair and out of those less than one third receive any type of awardrdquo said Kathy
ldquoAs parents we are very proud of his accomplishments but we are most proud of who he is He is grow-
ing up to be a fine respectful young man That is what is impor-tantrdquo she said
ldquoWersquove seen increas-ing growth with all the projectsrdquo said Rena Sweeney chair of the Northern Vancouver Island Regional Science Fair Committee
Clayton specifically is ldquolooking at ways to apply his projects to solve real world prob-lemsrdquo Sweeney said
ldquoWersquore looking for-ward to see the direc-tion hersquos going itrdquo she said
And his mind is already turning
Although he is just in the initial stages Clayton hopes to build enough pumps to store energy on a Tesla bat-tery to power a home
While he is think-ing about the future Clayton also has an illustrious past
His forays into sci-ence fairs began in Grade 6 when his project was top proj-ect overall but he was too young to attend the CWSF
In 2014 Claytonrsquos project won top overall project once again and he attended the CWSF event which was held in Windsor Ontario There he won a Bronze Medal of Excellence
Science skills obvi-ously run in the family
Claytonrsquos brother Trevor won top over-all project awards in 2011 and 2012 and attended the CWSF in Toronto and then in Charlottetown PEI

By Hannah GriffinReporterThe Tri-Port
Speedway Association kicked off the 2015 season with a race event on June 7
Stock car racing enthusiasts flocked to the wooden stands above the track and lined the top of the hill on picnic blankets and in lawn chairs
Shortly after 1 pm drivers of the six entered cars gathered in the centre of the clay track to hear asso-ciation President Dan Stewart outline what each flag means event rules and regulations as well as to offer his hopes for the day
ldquoThe best thing you
guys can do is expect to lose every event this yearrdquo he said to the gathered drivers explaining that safety was a major priority
ldquoWe all want to go home in one piecerdquo
Engines began to roar as racers began the trophy dash four laps around the track
Announcer Ken Fraser explained that their stock car events typically run about two to three hours and are composed of three dis-tinct events Following the trophy dash there are two heat races one is a time trial and the second is based on points from that time trial
The last event is
based on points stand-ings from throughout the day
President Dan Stewart and Announcer Ken Fraser explained that the hot dry weath-er it was 18 degrees on race day contributed to some issues with dust They mitigate the problem by spraying down throughout the event but it just evapo-rates
The Tri-Port Speedway Association has another event on June 21 at 1 pm and the Dust Bowl Weekend is set for Aug 22 and 23 Anyone interested in volun-teering can contact organizer Teresa Lee at (250) 949-7273

want to miss the North Island Timing Associationrsquos summer series that promises to provide a million thrills a minute
On June 20-21 the annual Rumble on the Runway will be taking place at the Port McNeill Airport The race is one of three scheduled for this summer The others will be held July 18-19 and Aug 22-23
ldquoEach race day we typically see 50 to 75 carsrdquo said Acting President Chris Sharpe with about 15 from the North island
and the remaining vehicles from Campbell River Courtenay Nanaimo Ladysmith Duncan Shawnigan Lake Victoria Port Alberni Tofino and Powell River
There are typically three class-es of car at the event Sportsman (street carsmini vans) Pro which is a faster car some street cars but mostly dedicated race cars and Super Pro which is basically the same as Pro class but uses ldquoelectronicsrdquo in enginetransmission control
The Rumble on the Runway began in 2008 Sharpe said when ldquoa couple guys were look-ing to promote the sport and
bring a new influx of people to the North Islandrdquo
North Island Timing Association is the only drag rac-ing association on Vancouver Island that runs three large 18 mile bracket races every race season Port Alberni also has a 14 mile track also at a airport but it is only raced on one week-end per year
ldquoWersquore excited to have a actu-al 18 mile track that is recog-nized by the National Hot Rod Associationrdquo said Sharpe
Spectator admission is $5 per person at the gate and there is a concession on site for breakfast and lunch

an event that has run for nearly three decades will have golfers swinging their clubs in the friendly weekend event June 20 and 21
The tournament hosted by Seven Hills Golf and Country Club has three flights taking place Saturday morning Saturday afternoon and Sunday
There are prizes for everyone given out Sunday evening and dinner will be provided There is generally an allotment of 144 golf-ers and all prizes are donated by community businesses
Apart from being a sporting event the tournament is notable in that all profits go towards providing scholarships for local stu-dents through Port Hardy Secondary School and North Island Secondary School In pre-vious years the tournament proceeds went towards supporting local people in need and charities and for the previous three years has been supporting scholarships In 2014 six students were recipients of these scholar-ships
Critical to the success of this event is contri-butions by sponsors and any local organiza-tions or businesses interested in doing so may contact Bill Gray at 250-949-7623 or Lito Pineda at 250-956-5234 Donations may be dropped off at the WFP Port McNeill office or can be picked up by committee members (found on the event Facebook page)

By Kathy OrsquoReilly-TaylorEditorA local student has
made a national splash with a science project that turns the ocean tide into electricity
Clayton Harderrsquos remarkable journey began at North Island Secondary School in Port McNeill with a project called ldquoTidal Power Pumprdquo
Harder a Grade 8 student designed and made a pump that can generate electricity using tides
ldquoWhile I was down at the docks in Port McNeill I noticed the rise and fall of the tides looked like a pump So I thought I would design a pump that would run off the tides to generate electric-ityrdquo said Clayton of the inspiration for his project
The young man is interested particularly in environmental sci-ences and finding ways to ldquostop stuff from harming the environ-mentrdquo
Harder created a
small-scale prototype which was actually able to run a light for a short period of time
This April Clayton 14 entered his proj-ect into the Northern Vancouver Island Regional Science Fair at NISS His proj-ect won the Michael Crooks Physics award The BC Hydro for Generations award and Top Overall Project award which allowed him to attend the Canada Wide Science Fair (CWSF) in Fredericton New Brunswick
Clayton had to fund-raise over $2000 for this trip said his mom Kathy and was sup-ported by North Island Chipping the Rotary Clubs of Port Hardy and Port McNeill the Lions Clubs of Port Hardy and Port McNeill Lemare Lake Logging Ltd and Strategic Forest Management
NISS Foods Teacher Ricki McCrae pur-chased the ingredients and organized a bake sale and vegetable bundles and firewood were also sold as a fund-raiser
ldquoThey and many others all helped make this trip possiblerdquo said Kathy
ldquoIt made me happy that so many people cared about the science fair and helping people to go thererdquo Clayton said
From May 9 to May 17 Clayton attended this fair along with 500
other kids from across Canada whose projects placed in their regional science fairs There were only 65 projects from BC that made it to the CWSF That total was from the senior intermediate and junior levels combined
The week included a day of judging from 830 am to 530 pm where Clayton was interviewed thoroughly by over 20 different judges There was also two and a half days of public viewing which over 4000 people attended
The event wasnrsquot all work a day was set aside for the kids to go to various sites in the Fredericton area Clayton was able to spend a day at the Bay of Fundy
Friday May 15 featured an awards day ceremony where Clayton was pre-sented with a Silver Medal of Excellence and the Junior Energy Challenge Award The silver medal awards come with a $2000 scholarship to Western University
ldquoThis is a huge achievement as less than one per cent of the science fair projects make it to the Canada Wide Science Fair and out of those less than one third receive any type of awardrdquo said Kathy
ldquoAs parents we are very proud of his accomplishments but we are most proud of who he is He is grow-
ing up to be a fine respectful young man That is what is impor-tantrdquo she said
ldquoWersquove seen increas-ing growth with all the projectsrdquo said Rena Sweeney chair of the Northern Vancouver Island Regional Science Fair Committee
Clayton specifically is ldquolooking at ways to apply his projects to solve real world prob-lemsrdquo Sweeney said
ldquoWersquore looking for-ward to see the direc-tion hersquos going itrdquo she said
And his mind is already turning
Although he is just in the initial stages Clayton hopes to build enough pumps to store energy on a Tesla bat-tery to power a home
While he is think-ing about the future Clayton also has an illustrious past
His forays into sci-ence fairs began in Grade 6 when his project was top proj-ect overall but he was too young to attend the CWSF
In 2014 Claytonrsquos project won top overall project once again and he attended the CWSF event which was held in Windsor Ontario There he won a Bronze Medal of Excellence
Science skills obvi-ously run in the family
Claytonrsquos brother Trevor won top over-all project awards in 2011 and 2012 and attended the CWSF in Toronto and then in Charlottetown PEI

By Hannah GriffinReporterThe Tri-Port
Speedway Association kicked off the 2015 season with a race event on June 7
Stock car racing enthusiasts flocked to the wooden stands above the track and lined the top of the hill on picnic blankets and in lawn chairs
Shortly after 1 pm drivers of the six entered cars gathered in the centre of the clay track to hear asso-ciation President Dan Stewart outline what each flag means event rules and regulations as well as to offer his hopes for the day
ldquoThe best thing you
guys can do is expect to lose every event this yearrdquo he said to the gathered drivers explaining that safety was a major priority
ldquoWe all want to go home in one piecerdquo
Engines began to roar as racers began the trophy dash four laps around the track
Announcer Ken Fraser explained that their stock car events typically run about two to three hours and are composed of three dis-tinct events Following the trophy dash there are two heat races one is a time trial and the second is based on points from that time trial
The last event is
based on points stand-ings from throughout the day
President Dan Stewart and Announcer Ken Fraser explained that the hot dry weath-er it was 18 degrees on race day contributed to some issues with dust They mitigate the problem by spraying down throughout the event but it just evapo-rates
The Tri-Port Speedway Association has another event on June 21 at 1 pm and the Dust Bowl Weekend is set for Aug 22 and 23 Anyone interested in volun-teering can contact organizer Teresa Lee at (250) 949-7273

By Kathy OrsquoReilly-TaylorEditorGet ready to rumbleDrag racing enthusiasts wonrsquot
want to miss the North Island Timing Associationrsquos summer series that promises to provide a million thrills a minute
On June 20-21 the annual Rumble on the Runway will be taking place at the Port McNeill Airport The race is one of three scheduled for this summer The others will be held July 18-19 and Aug 22-23
ldquoEach race day we typically see 50 to 75 carsrdquo said Acting President Chris Sharpe with about 15 from the North island
and the remaining vehicles from Campbell River Courtenay Nanaimo Ladysmith Duncan Shawnigan Lake Victoria Port Alberni Tofino and Powell River
There are typically three class-es of car at the event Sportsman (street carsmini vans) Pro which is a faster car some street cars but mostly dedicated race cars and Super Pro which is basically the same as Pro class but uses ldquoelectronicsrdquo in enginetransmission control
The Rumble on the Runway began in 2008 Sharpe said when ldquoa couple guys were look-ing to promote the sport and
bring a new influx of people to the North Islandrdquo
North Island Timing Association is the only drag rac-ing association on Vancouver Island that runs three large 18 mile bracket races every race season Port Alberni also has a 14 mile track also at a airport but it is only raced on one week-end per year
ldquoWersquore excited to have a actu-al 18 mile track that is recog-nized by the National Hot Rod Associationrdquo said Sharpe
Spectator admission is $5 per person at the gate and there is a concession on site for breakfast and lunch

an event that has run for nearly three decades will have golfers swinging their clubs in the friendly weekend event June 20 and 21
The tournament hosted by Seven Hills Golf and Country Club has three flights taking place Saturday morning Saturday afternoon and Sunday
There are prizes for everyone given out Sunday evening and dinner will be provided There is generally an allotment of 144 golf-ers and all prizes are donated by community businesses
Apart from being a sporting event the tournament is notable in that all profits go towards providing scholarships for local stu-dents through Port Hardy Secondary School and North Island Secondary School In pre-vious years the tournament proceeds went towards supporting local people in need and charities and for the previous three years has been supporting scholarships In 2014 six students were recipients of these scholar-ships
Critical to the success of this event is contri-butions by sponsors and any local organiza-tions or businesses interested in doing so may contact Bill Gray at 250-949-7623 or Lito Pineda at 250-956-5234 Donations may be dropped off at the WFP Port McNeill office or can be picked up by committee members (found on the event Facebook page)

By Hannah GriffinReporterThe Tri-Port
Speedway Association kicked off the 2015 season with a race event on June 7
Stock car racing enthusiasts flocked to the wooden stands above the track and lined the top of the hill on picnic blankets and in lawn chairs
Shortly after 1 pm drivers of the six entered cars gathered in the centre of the clay track to hear asso-ciation President Dan Stewart outline what each flag means event rules and regulations as well as to offer his hopes for the day
ldquoThe best thing you
guys can do is expect to lose every event this yearrdquo he said to the gathered drivers explaining that safety was a major priority
ldquoWe all want to go home in one piecerdquo
Engines began to roar as racers began the trophy dash four laps around the track
Announcer Ken Fraser explained that their stock car events typically run about two to three hours and are composed of three dis-tinct events Following the trophy dash there are two heat races one is a time trial and the second is based on points from that time trial
The last event is
based on points stand-ings from throughout the day
President Dan Stewart and Announcer Ken Fraser explained that the hot dry weath-er it was 18 degrees on race day contributed to some issues with dust They mitigate the problem by spraying down throughout the event but it just evapo-rates
The Tri-Port Speedway Association has another event on June 21 at 1 pm and the Dust Bowl Weekend is set for Aug 22 and 23 Anyone interested in volun-teering can contact organizer Teresa Lee at (250) 949-7273

By Kathy OrsquoReilly-TaylorEditorGet ready to rumbleDrag racing enthusiasts wonrsquot
want to miss the North Island Timing Associationrsquos summer series that promises to provide a million thrills a minute
On June 20-21 the annual Rumble on the Runway will be taking place at the Port McNeill Airport The race is one of three scheduled for this summer The others will be held July 18-19 and Aug 22-23
ldquoEach race day we typically see 50 to 75 carsrdquo said Acting President Chris Sharpe with about 15 from the North island
and the remaining vehicles from Campbell River Courtenay Nanaimo Ladysmith Duncan Shawnigan Lake Victoria Port Alberni Tofino and Powell River
There are typically three class-es of car at the event Sportsman (street carsmini vans) Pro which is a faster car some street cars but mostly dedicated race cars and Super Pro which is basically the same as Pro class but uses ldquoelectronicsrdquo in enginetransmission control
The Rumble on the Runway began in 2008 Sharpe said when ldquoa couple guys were look-ing to promote the sport and
bring a new influx of people to the North Islandrdquo
North Island Timing Association is the only drag rac-ing association on Vancouver Island that runs three large 18 mile bracket races every race season Port Alberni also has a 14 mile track also at a airport but it is only raced on one week-end per year
ldquoWersquore excited to have a actu-al 18 mile track that is recog-nized by the National Hot Rod Associationrdquo said Sharpe
Spectator admission is $5 per person at the gate and there is a concession on site for breakfast and lunch

By Hannah GriffinReporterThe North Island Loggers Golf Tournament
an event that has run for nearly three decades will have golfers swinging their clubs in the friendly weekend event June 20 and 21
The tournament hosted by Seven Hills Golf and Country Club has three flights taking place Saturday morning Saturday afternoon and Sunday
There are prizes for everyone given out Sunday evening and dinner will be provided There is generally an allotment of 144 golf-ers and all prizes are donated by community businesses
Apart from being a sporting event the tournament is notable in that all profits go towards providing scholarships for local stu-dents through Port Hardy Secondary School and North Island Secondary School In pre-vious years the tournament proceeds went towards supporting local people in need and charities and for the previous three years has been supporting scholarships In 2014 six students were recipients of these scholar-ships
Critical to the success of this event is contri-butions by sponsors and any local organiza-tions or businesses interested in doing so may contact Bill Gray at 250-949-7623 or Lito Pineda at 250-956-5234 Donations may be dropped off at the WFP Port McNeill office or can be picked up by committee members (found on the event Facebook page)
