Tweedsmuir Ski Hill in great shape for 2015 seasonIf the dreary weather is get-

ting you down there is a place to go, a place like no other. The Tweedsmuir Ski Club is gearing up for another great season, with the rope tow up and running every Sunday, a beautiful new overnight cabin for rent and 30 kilometers of groomed cross country ski trails.

Located in the Rainbow Range about 95 kilome-ters from Bella Coola, the Tweedsmuir Ski Club has been operating in the area for 50 years. Made up of a vary-ing group of ski, snowmobile and outdoor enthusiasts, the

Valley has been fortunate to have such dedicated indi-viduals volunteer their time to maintain and expand on these operations.

The overnight cabin, ski cabin and rope tow are locat-ed approximately two kilo-meters from the East Branch parking lot. The overnight cabin is available for rent and sleeps six adults. The rope tow offers beginner to moderate skiing and it suitable for all ages and skill levels of skiers. For fees check out their web-site at www.tweedsmuirski-club.com.

The 30 kilometers of

groomed cross-country ski trails are easy for everyone to enjoy and are free of charge. Between them volunteers Duane Pedersen and Lyle Enderud have been grooming these trails for nearly 30 years and they are always in tip-top shape.

You can start the Old Highway Trial and the Pedersen Trail from East Branch Parking Lot or the main cross country ski area located approximately five kilometers east of East Branch, which now has a large parking lot to accommodate visitors.

The main area has four ski trails: The Meadow Loop, The Forest Trail, the Old Highway Trail and the Pederson Trail with varying distances of two to 12 kilometers.

If you are not a skier there is still plenty to enjoy. Strap on some snowshoes and you are ready to hit the trails and take in the beautiful views. The club also represents snowmobilers and provides for a groomed trail to access alpine areas and many of the snowmobiles help out with projects and transportation to and from the ski hill.

Most often you will find

clear skies and some sun-shine at the top of the Hill, and with this wet and wild winter season, the ski area is looking more appealing than ever. For more information check out their website www.tweedsmuirskiclub.com or the Facebook page “Bella Coola Ski Hill.”

If you can support the club by joining and paying a small annual membership fee it helps cover the cost of maintaining the cross country trails, maintenance on the facility, and gives you a better rate on the cabin. Forms are available on the website.

The inaugural meeting for the newly elected Board was held on December 11, 2014. With a full agenda the new Board was quite busy, and hit the ground running. The Directors all took their Oath of Office, and appointed Reg Moody-Humchitt as Director of Area B. The Board re-elected Director Moody-Humchitt as Chair, and elected Director Sayers as Vice-Chair.

During the meet-ing the Board was presented the five 2015 Strategic Priorities. These priorities were approved at the October 2014 Board meeting and are the following: Solid Waste Management Plan: establish a joint public/technical advi-sory committee (future needs, issues and opportunities – budget and funding implica-tions), complete stage one solid waste man-agement review; and progress Stage two (the development of short and long term options).

Shearwater Water System: seek out possi-ble grant funding. Asset Management Planning: undertaking investiga-tions and consultation on the replacement of the pool swimming tank at Centennial Pool (including budget and funding implica-tions); and initiate the development of a comprehensive Asset Management Plan.

Official Community Plan: complete a com-prehensive review and update of the Official Community Plan, Zoning and Subdivision Servicing Bylaws and Economic Development Plan: review, update or development of a new Economic Development Plan

Appointments were made to Committees, Commissions and Affiliated Organizations. A completed list of these appointments can be found on the CCRD’s website in the draft Minutes of the

December 2014 Board Meeting.

The Preliminary Financial Plan first draft of the five-year financial plan was pre-sented and received. This draft focused on 2015 only, with com-parative figures for 2014. At this time the projected CCRD por-tion of the tax levy is estimated at 6.3 per-cent.

The board received the November 2014 Public Works Report which highlighted public works functions and services since the October Board meet-ing. This included a brief description about the inspec-tion of the Thorsen Creek Recycling Depot conducted by Multi-Material BC in November. The inspec-tor was very impressed with the operation and congratulated the recycling attendant on his organization and understanding of the material. The deposit containers being received at Thorsen Creek Recycling Depot are currently being donated to community organizations.

A reminder if your local community ori-ented non-profit orga-nization is interested in receiving donations

in this fashion please contact the CCRD or stop in at the Recycling Depot and talk with the Recycling Attendant.

The CCRD would like to express their gratitude to Croydon Lansdowne for volun-teering his time and effort to ensure the pool was properly win-terized. The Centennial Pool had a success-ful 2014 season, and is looking forward to

2015.Next meeting of

the CCRD Board will be held on February 12th and the public is welcome to attend. For the complete draft of the December Board meeting visit the CCRD website at www.ccrd-bc.ca. Don’t forget to like the Facebook page at Central Coast Regional District – CCRD for updated information.

The Invasive Species Council of BC (ISCBC) congratulates the winners of the first annual Together in Action Awards, celebrating the work of those preventing or

reducing the impact of invasive species in British Columbia.

“We have so many leaders in the field of invasive species in British Columbia, and it’s wonderful

to be able to honour their work and achievements with the Together In Action Awards,” said Gail Wallin, Executive Director of ISCBC.

The Together in Action awards program recognizes initiatives, groups, and individuals that demonstrate leadership, innovation and collaboration in the field of invasive species in BC.

Winners were honoured at a gala dinner, part of ISCBC’s 10th annual forum, INVASIVES 2015. The gala was dinner attended by BC’s Lieutenant Governor, the Honourable Judith Guichon, patron of ISCBC.

Together in Action Awards were presented to: Nuxalk First Nation, Bella Coola, BC, Together

in Action Government Award, GardenWorks, Burnaby, BC, Together in Action Business Award, Delta Grand Okanagan Resort and Conference Centre, Kelowna, BC, Together in Action Business Award, Friends of Devonian Park, Metchosin, BC, Together in Action Stewardship Organization Award, Andrea Eastham, Prince George, BC, Together in Action Individual Award and Jake Burton, Victoria BC, Together in Action Youth Award

These awards recognize leadership in invasive species research, education, prevention, management or control of invasive species, contributions from volunteers and from business leaders or organizations.

The Invasive

Species Council of BC (ISCBC) is working to minimize the negative ecological, social, and economic impacts caused by the introduction, establishment, and spread of invasive species.

Their goals are to: educate the public

and professionals about invasive species and their risks to ecosystems and economies through activities such as workshops, seminars and newsletters; coordinate and fund research relating to invasive species and make this available

to the public; and undertake and support actions that improve the health of BC’s natural ecosystems.

The Bella Coola Valley Awards Foundation Society is pleased to announce that Danika Naccarella is the 2014-15 recipi-ent of the Isabel Mikkelson Award for post-secondary study in an arts-related field. Danika is entering her sec-ond semester in the Freda Diesing School of Northwest Coast Art at Northwest Community College in Terrace. The $1000 award is made periodically by the Foundation to a deserving student.

Danika was a 2014 graduate of Acwsalcta School, and in her own words is “a dedi-cated young artist, practicing my craft daily to improve my skills, and develop new ones. Art is a

form of personal self-expression, as well as a way of connecting to my culture and to my history.”

She worked many hours at the Co-op to save for her edu-cational opportunity, and her efficiency and pleasant demeanor was much appreci-ated by the members. Earlier Danika also received one of the 2014 Royal Canadian Legion Branch 262 bursaries, for which she was eligible because of the war service of her grandfa-ther, Morten Svisdahl, and great-grandfather, Louis Svisdahl.

Foundation Chair Rob Gruetter offered his congratulations – “We do not make an award every year, but Danika’s creden-tials and potential for success appear very

strong; so we hope that this recognition will provide her with practical support and encouragement.”

The Awards Foundation is a Registered Charity, established in 1990 to manage previous fund-raising by the Bella Coola Valley Arts Council.

In addition to post-secondary edu-cation assistance, the Foundation has provided subsidy for school music trips, individual summer music programmes, adult education sup-plement courses; and is the financial source for the bi-annual Festival of the Arts. In addition to Mr. Gruetter, the Trustees are Joan Cole, John Morton, Martin Antoniuk, and Steve Dishkin.

On the night of January 13th, fire broke out in the Recycling Attendant’s office trailer at the Thorsen Creek Landfill.

Work crews arrived the follow-ing morning to find the office reduced to a burned out hulk of melted aluminum.

The cause of the fire is suspected

to be electrical in nature. CCRD would like to thank the RCMP, B.C. Hydro, Gilles Dionne (Bella Coola Volunteer Fire Dept.) and Ron Gordon

(Hagensborg Volunteer Fire Dept.) for attending.

The CCRD is moving forward with reconfiguration of the Landfill Site to enhance recy-

cling opportunities and levels of conve-nience to the pub-lic. Initiatives are underway to expand on the success of the MMBC recycling program and we will

be adding to the list of items accepted for recycling.

The public is reminded that card-board and batteries are among the list of items no longer

allowed to be mixed in with household garbage.

These must be taken to the Recycling Depot at the entrance of the landfill.

Dr. Paul Martiquet, Medical Health Officer

Understanding the health and develop-ment of adolescents is an important ele-ment for ensuring the transition from child to adult. Adolescence is a time of significant change for a young person. It marks a period during which a child moves from relying on the judge-ment and authority of others to learning to make indepen-dent and responsible choices. Add in physi-cal changes not the least of which is a remodelling of the brain’s basic structure in areas that affect logic, impulse control, intuition and language and it becomes clear why this may be such a difficult period for a young person.

Adolescence is a time for developing skills for healthy adult-hood and of experi-mentation in activities that may be beneficial or harmful to health. It is also a time of experimentation in potentially harmful activities. For most,

these experiences will not ultimately be damaging, but others will develop behav-iours that are harm-ful to their health in adolescence and later life. Supportive rela-tionships such as with families and peers, in schools and the com-munity can lessen the incidence and harm of risky activities; they can also encourage health-enhancing behaviours among adolescents. The development of ado-lescents is also influ-enced by their social environment. The likelihood of engag-ing in potentially risky activities such as get-ting drunk or using drugs is higher when people around them do so.

A number of themes show up in the research on ado-lescent development. We find that there will be ‘clustering of behaviours.’ This means that individu-als who engage in one ‘risky’ behaviour (for example, smoking) are more likely to engage in other risky behav-

iours (for example, insufficient physical activity and excessive alcohol use).

Resilience is a second important theme. It has been used to explain why some individuals and groups overcome obstacles better than others. Resilience

is a sort of insulat-ing capacity that enables people to cope successfully, or to “bounce back” in the face of adver-sity or risk. Resilience increases with the number of develop-mental assets an ado-lescent possesses.

Developmental assets are described as positive relation-ships, opportunities, competencies, values and self-perceptions that adolescents need to succeed. These may be external (sup-port, empowerment, boundaries, expecta-tions) or internal (a commitment to learn-ing, positive values, social competencies, positive identity).

Assets and feelings of connectedness play important roles in healthy development, including protecting youth against risky behaviours, promot-ing positive and healthy choices and building resiliency in youth to help them cope with challenges and difficulties. The more assets an ado-lescent possesses, the

more likely they are to engage in positive, health-enhancing activities and the less likely they are to engage in activities potentially harmful to their health.

Engagement and empowerment are both features that strengthen an adoles-cent’s development. Engagement comes from involvement in meaningful, organized activities such as school, music, sports or community work. Empowerment comes from having safe social spaces where adults enable youth to play a role in planning and decision-making.

Adolescence can be a trying time, but it can equally be an exciting and reward-ing time of change, action and an evolu-tion from child to adult.

Dr. Paul Martiquet is the Medical Health Officer for Rural Vancouver Coastal Health including Powell River, the Sunshine Coast, Sea-to-Sky, Bella Bella and Bella Coola.

Milton C. SheppardOctober 8, 1927 - January 6, 2015

Milton C. Sheppard was born in New Brigden, Alberta to Ruth & William Sheppard.He joined his three older siblings: Dorelle, Irma and John. His sister Irma survives him and lives in Langley, B.C.His parents moved to Alberta from Ontario along with his grandparents and several of his Dad’s brothers. Milt had fond memories of the cousins and uncles & aunts in his early childhood. His family was one of the first in the small town to have indoor plumbing!

They later lived just outside Calgary on a fairly large farm. He often told us that his favourite farm animals were large horses called Percheron’s. They stood almost seven feet tall. He also remembered that during the Depression some people would often come by the kitchen door for soup and bread that his Mother had made for them.

When he was seven his family moved to Vancouver which was covered in black coal dust in those days. He told us that they had to pay a toll to drive across the newly opened Patullo Bridge.There was a neon SHELL sign visible as you approached the bridge, the S was unlit. Dad used to joke that they “ paid to enter _HELL”. They moved to a 4-storey house with a sawdust furnace, on Burrard Street ( near St Paul’s Hospital) and he spent a few years there enjoying the life of the city, despite the Depression. His Dad worked as a carpenter rebuilding and selling homes and his Mother ran a rooming house. Dad went to school close by and used to talk about them being ‘dragged over’ to St. Andrews church by their teacher in elementary school to sing Christmas carols. He loved singing and sang once at a Kiwanis Festival in Red Deer, Alberta as a young lad. One of his sons sang in the same city at a Kiwanis Festival many years later.In Vancouver he and his brother John did whatever they could to always have a bit of cash – including walking across town with bottles to get the best price. They always had the five cents they needed to go to the local matinee. Sometimes on Saturdays they would splurge and go to the matinee at the Orpheum which cost 10 cents! (Sometimes they would get in free, if they could sneak in the back door.... but don’t tell anyone). When he was about 10, his family moved out to Langley/Murrayville.

It was there that he met his lifetime friend, Bob Espin, who lived on an adjacent farm. Together he and Bob had many adventures, escaped detection innumerable times and built a foundation for a lifetime that lasted until Bob’s death in 2009. This was one of the hallmarks of Milt’s life – his gift for making deep friendships that lasted a lifetime. As a young man, Milt worked as hard as he played – cutting peat in the Delta peat fields. (He owned a Model A in those days and remembered driving to University down a NewWestminster hill when a tire blew by his driver’s door. It was only a second before he realized it was his!). He worked one summer at a mill in Whistler and also did some logging in the Jordan River between Port Renfrew and the Duncan area. In 1947 & 48’ he spent a couple of summers being kitchen helper & cabin boy on the Union Steamships, along with his brother John, as they went up and down the coast. It was working on these ships that gave him the opportunity to first see Bella Coola – which factored in to his decision to take a Principalship at Bella Coola several years later.

After secondary school, he headed to teachers’ training where he became friends with Mort Thorsell who years later became his supervisor. We will always remember playing Ping Pong in the basement with dad’s ‘Boss’. A very good player! He made us better players. Mort, Dad and his high school chum Fred Doupe went to university together and formed a high energy trio. Friendship’s that lasted a lifetime.

Milt held a few teaching jobs in rural areas before Bella Coola – at one and two room schools – Bradley Creek, where his friend Les Kerr (original owner of ConAir Airlines) had a ranch, as well as Peachland and Blue River, BC. He then accepted a Principalship in Bella Coola in 1953 at the age of 26, which shaped the rest of his life. He bought a used car, (a 1948 Plymouth, which set roots in Bella Coola too, lol ), that had formally been a Vancouver taxi and drove to Anahim Lake the summer of 1953. He arranged with someone to store his car in their barn for the winter and then he acquired the services of a guide (Baptiste Alden) & went by horseback to where the road crew was working on the hill. It took two days from Anahim, stopping at Louis Creek for the night. The day they met the road crew he bid goodbye to Baptiste and when the crew was done working for the day Alger Brynildsen drove him down to Bella Coola. They stopped along the way at various homes so that he could be introduced as the ‘new Principal’. He never said how long that took. Milt was principal of BCE School on the townsite. In the early 1960’s he was also given responsibility for SAMS school in Hagensborg and that continued until the late-1960’s when the District could finally afford multiple principals. He then returned to full time at BCES until his retirement in 1981.

In the summer of ‘55, a beautiful young woman, travelled to Bella Coola to teach grade two. No surprise that a young handsome principal used his charm and seven months later on April 3, 1956 Doreen became his wife. They were going to spend their honeymoon at Ralph and Dora Hart’s cabin in the Park but it was raining hard and flooding so they couldn’t get to it. They turned around and went back home to the teacherage across from BCE school. Home is where the heart is...they say.

Sadly, the next month Milt’s beloved father passed away in Surrey at the young age of 69.Milt and Doreen went on to establish deep roots in the Bella Coola Valley – raising their four children Stephen (Debbie); Byron (Hiroko); Irene (Keith) and Philip (Sheila) in the Valley. Their children subsequently have blessed them with five wonderful grandchildren – Krista, Mark, Jenifer, Darcie and Alyssa and two great-grandchildren –Valencia (Mark) and Braedan (Alyssa/Clinton).

Milt & Doreen opened their house in the early days to Milt’s brother John who lived with them for about 12 years and his nephew Douglas for a year as well as various other friends and family along the way. Milt’s generosity was known mostly to his wife and the recipients of his generosity and it was decades before his children found out some of the stories. Even though he was a young father, husband and hard-working principal, Milt took time to join in the development aspects of the Bella Coola Valley. He was President of the Board of Trade. He was a member of the Flying Club and along with Ken Stranaghan and Don Duncan and others, worked hard to build the airstrip. (His children ‘fondly’ remember picking sticks numerous times, with other volunteers). He was also part of the group that made the community pool a reality. In general, he contributed as he could to enhancing life in the Valley.

By 1957, he and his friend, Wally Stiles decided the townsite needed a motel so they bought land, hired Milt’s carpenter brother John, and built the Bella Coola Motel. They did the books/business end and their wives (Doreen & Odrun) took care of the day-to-day work. When asked what it was like partnering with Wally and Odrun, Milt paid them the ultimate tribute and said, “we only required one signature on a cheque”. Another hallmark of Milt’s life was his wisdom in knowing who to trust and then to be able to trust them completely.

Milt loved flying and, with his life long friend Bob Espin, bought a Cessna 172 on floats. His good friend Gideon Schuetze was commissioned to fly it up to Bella Coola. Dad and Bob then shared the plane between their two homes in Bella Coola and Langley. Gideon tells a tale of flying a different plane with Dad and having ‘issues ‘ with the plane. It was tough but he flew as best he could, hoping Dad wouldn’t realize there were problems and be too scared to get his pilot’s license. Dad got his license and flew us all over the coast from here to Fort Langley and elsewhere in the province. When glaciers touched the valley floors....... no really! One time Dad was flying in from the outer coast as a passenger. The BC Air pilot was new and as they passed by Ram Bluff Dad gently tapped him on the shoulder and pointed southwards through Labouchere instead of North up the Dean Channel which was where they were heading. The charts agreed. A slight change of course was taken needless to say.

He also enjoyed a bit of boating with the 33’ Eastcoast style NOW U C. (Some of his kids remember it being hand built in Keith Arnold-Smith’s backyard). We remember Wally, Bob Glover, Mohammed Shamsher and Dad returning with big Springs and big prawns many a time. Always with big smiles. He enjoyed the boat with his family for many years until one bad winter storm took it out to sea. (Now u c ...now u don’t). He later purchased land near Firvale and enjoyed spending his weekends puttering on the property, operating his old D6 to make new roads and shore up the river banks. As kids and with our kids, we spent many days there running around and enjoying many an adventure. In his retirement years Milt became an avid gardener – eventually digging up his entire front lawn for a productive garden, and buying the lot next door from the Cole/Dorsey family for his orchard. Milt was always an avid reader and if he couldn’t read or garden he was tinkering in the basement. He was good at reusing and recycling – long before it became popular in society! To occupy himself after retirement, he taught himself refrigeration and kept his extended family’s freezers and fridges going for many years. He listened to music a lot and enjoyed social gatherings with guitars and sing-a-longs. His children remember ‘ in the old days’ many nights playing music with Johnny Young’s family and Lee Young and later Stan and Beatty Raymond’s family. There were also many trips by car or plane up to Anahim Lake which usually involved campfires and singing with the Filbee’s/Young’s and the Astleford’s.We remember Dick Mercer, a great friend of the family, playing many lively tunes on our piano in the living room. Gerald Saugstad has told us he learned his style from ‘Mr. Mercer’. Milt’s favourite music time though was to listen to his children or grandchildren playing and singing.

Milt was a kind, friendly, gentle man with a witty sense of humour. He provided a solid home for his family, and passed along to his children a respect for the dignity of all humans, a love of learning, the wisdom & knowledge required to navigate life well, and love & respect for their Mother – his devoted, loving wife, Doreen. He passed away quietly on January 6th, 2015 with Mom at his side. He was 87 years old.

Milt....Dad....Grandpa....

Brother....Uncle....Friend...

We love you and we miss you...Rest in Peace.

There is a time for everything, And a season for every activity under heaven: A time to plant and a time to uproot, A time to be born and a time to die, A time to be silent and a time to speak, A time to love.

Nuxalk Nation takes part in historic paddle to Qatuwas Festival in Bella BellaBy eVanGeline hanUse

On the morning of July 9, 2014, four canoes began their journey from Bella Coola to par-take in the annual Tribal Canoe Journeys. Hosted this year by the Heiltsuk Nation of Bella Bella, it is estimated that there will be 100 canoes attending the Qatuwas Festival and 5,000 visitors going to Bella Bella for seven days of celebrating, feast-ing, and dancing.Tribal Journeys, also referred

to as Qatuwas, or ‘People Gathering Together,’ is planning to return to Bella Bella this year, 21 years after its first gathering was held in 1993. The Heiltsuk have played a key role in the resurgence of the ocean going canoe culture along the Pacific North West Coast when they first carved a canoe and paddled from Bella Bella to Vancouver for Expo 86, in 1986 and in 1989 participated in the “Paddle to Seattle”, and at this event invited other tribes to travel to

Bella Bella and hosted the 1993 Qatuwas Festival.Members of the Squamish Nation and their fellow paddlers from Hawaii towed two canoes from Vancouver, BC and were welcomed into Bella Coola by the Nuxalk Nation with a pot-luck at the Bella Coola Motel Campground. Together, they journeyed for three days with the help of support vessels, arriving in Bella Bella last weekend. Luke Mack, a skipper, who has been on several canoe

journeys, was cautious when speaking of facing the notori-ous Mesachie Nose, famous for its swirling currents and strong winds. “If the winds pick up we may have to be towed,” said Mack. To many, this canoe journey is seen as a healing opportu-nity for all involved. Cultural traditions and knowledge are being revived as traditionally Nuxalkmc were skilled naviga-tors on the water, using the ocean as a highway for trade and

attending ceremonies all across the Coast, even traveling as far as the Hawaiian Islands. Hereditary Chief Q’umulha Rhonda Sandoval is excited to partake in the experience of a lifetime with her husband, Will, and daughter Anuxum. A former commercial fisher and experi-enced diver, Sandoval is right at home on the water and is hop-ing this journey will keep the momentum going and revive the Nuxalkmc canoe culture
