Japanese boat swept away in 2011 tsunami reunited with its owner in KlemtuBY CAITLIN THOMPSON

Scallop fisherman Kou Sasaki, of Ofunato, Japan, crossed the Pacific Ocean last week to arrive in the tiny village of Klemtu where his trusty fishing vessel was waiting for him.

Sasaki’s boat was swept out to sea four years ago when the tsunami struck his village. It drifted thou-sands of miles across the pacific, along with one million tonnes of debris, in the aftermath of the disaster which killed over 15,000 people in Japan on March 11, 2011.

After its lengthy jour-ney, the boat arrived in Klemtu, where it was salvaged by a guide at the Spirit Bear Lodge in 2013. They cleaned it up for use in their bear-viewing tours, where tourists from all over the world come

to view the famed Spirit Bears.

Tim McGrady, manager of the Spirit Bear Lodge, was curious about the ves-sel and had made some initial efforts to find the owner, but he didn’t get very far.

But last year a Japanese guest Yoshi Karasawa translated the boat’s name, “Twin Pines,” and was intrigued enough to spread the word to her contacts in her homeland. Sasaki was located and plans were set in motion to bring him to the tiny village to be reunited with his beloved boat.

“They keep meticulous records in Japan and she was able to track it down by its numbers,” said McGrady. “It took about a year to get him here and it was really fun, really worthwhile.”

Karasawa, the fisher-

man and his wife made the long trek to Klemtu last week and stayed for two nights at the Spirit Bear Lodge. It made for some emotional moments when Sasaki saw his boat again. He jumped into its bow and began to weep, saying “We are together again.”

The community of Klemtu came together to welcome Sasaki and his wife, taking them for a bear-viewing tour on his boat, and performing a welcoming and blessing ceremony in the Big House for their special guests.

CORRECTION - Nash Article, August 27, 2015

The otherwise enjoyable article about the farewell tea for Ed and Margaret Nash suggests that I refrained from telling student jokes about Ed. In fact, when I was at SAMS in the 1970s I don’t remember students telling any jokes about Ed. I was actually trying to remember some of the many jokes and puns Ed himself used in class to inspire us to think creatively about math and physics.

2015 marks the 35th anniversary of the first Terry Fox Run – estab-lished in 1981 to perpetuate the memory of Terry Fox, who in 1980 ran his epic “Marathon of Hope” to raise money for cancer research.

Terry Fox suc-cumbed to the disease before his cross-Canada mar-athon was com-plete; but since then hundreds of thousands of people world-wide have turned out every September to run a few kilo-metres in sym-bolic completion of Terry’s heroic effort, and in sup-port of cancer research. To date, over $650 million has been raised worldwide for cancer research in Terry's name.

For a number of years active volun-teers organized a Bella Coola event,

sanctioned by the Terry Fox Run Trust ; however, recently there have only been ad hoc and unofficial runs by individu-als dedicated to Terry’s memory.

The Coast Mountain News is pleased to report that there will be an official Terry Fox Run in Bella Coola this year. Rene Morton has been confirmed as the organizer, and Bella Coola has been reinstated as a run location on the Terry Fox Run website.

The run (or walk, cycle, push a stroller, whatever) will commence from the Lobelco Hall parking lot at 10 AM Sunday, September 20.

Registration is from 9:30 AM.

Refreshments will be provided at Walker Island, which is a 5 km distance.

Other options

are the full 10 km (back to Lobelco), or less based on km markers along the route. Return transportation will be available for participants going from Lobelco to Walker Island.

Donation pledge sheets will be available at Kopas Store. Online donations and instant tax receipts are also enabled through http://www.terryfox.org/Run/.

A single dream – a world of hope. Keep Terry’s dream alive – a cure for cancer can be found.

PRESS RELEASE

Williams Lake and District Credit Union wishes to announce that a $1,500 bursary has been awarded to Aodhan Cearnaigh. Aodhan graduated from Sir Alexander Mackenzie School earlier this year, and has been accepted

into the Bachelor of Applied Science program at the University of British Columbia.

He is hop-ing to enter the Engineering Physics branch, which could potentially see him pursuing a career in a field such as nano-technology.

Aodhan enjoys snowboarding and playing soccer. During his grade 12 year, he attended the British Columbia Youth Parliament, which has stimulated his interest in serving his community.

Provision of bur-saries to local stu-dents is consistent with Williams Lake and District Credit Union's commit-ment to support its members and their

communities. We are pleased to recognize Aodhan's achieve-ments with our financial support.

Williams Lake and District Credit Union has been serving members since 1952. Branches in Williams Lake, 100 Mile House and Bella Coola provide financial services for a diverse population spread over a vast area.

Williams Lake and District Credit

Union boasts assets in excess of $205 million and employs 75 dedicated indi-viduals. Committed to making a differ-ence, the Credit Union supports its local communities through funding, staff expertise, and the energy and com-mitment of staff volunteers. We are especially pleased to recognize and assist graduating high school students in our local communi-ties.

Editor:With their love,

caring, kindness, generosity and hos-pitality, our Elders made our community – this Valley, a won-derful place to live!

However, many

of us are disturbed by comments on Facebook, in the past as well as recently.

Through the years, boats have sunk at our wharf, on the fishing grounds and we all mourned with

the families of the fine men who lost their lives in these disasters. People ral-lied, assisted in every way possible, no fin-gers pointed, no cruel vicious words.

Misfortune in

one form or another is never far from us, and friendship, respect and concern for each other have always helped us thorough hard, dif-ficult times and will again.

It seems Facebook gives license and reduces the intellect of some supposedly mature adults to a low IQ level. Bullying on Facebook or off is unacceptable. It ruins lives, relationships

and has caused many suicides.

Our Elders also had wonderful “gems” of advice: “Be careful what you say – your words may come back to haunt you and bite you in

the back side!”Another was the

Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.”

Sincerely,Lois Yvonne

The first Canadian and First Nations woman to win Mrs. Universe is using her new fame to urge aboriginal people in Canada to vote to oust the Conservatives in the federal election.

Ashley Callingbull said the Tory gov-ernment treats First Nations people like “terrorists” and that the government is working against them.

“I believe that this government was created to work against us and not for us,” said Ashley Callingbull in an interview with Rosemary Barton on CBC's Power & Politics last Wednesday. “There's just so many prob-lems with it for First Nations people. We're always put on the back burner.”

Callingbull, who is trained as a profes-sional actress and featured the APTN series “Blackstone,” said she’ll use her Mrs. Universe win to voice her concerns about First Nations issues in Canada.

“With the bills that have been passed, we are being treated like terrorists if we're fighting for our land and our water,” Callingbullsaid. “It's our right to, and now we're being treated like terrorists if we do anything about it ... It's ridiculous.”

The theme for this year’s competi-tion was “domestic violence and reflec-tion over children.” As a survivor of both sexual and physical abuse, Callingbull told CTV News that she “wanted to be there for other women, to have a voice for them, because a lot of peo-ple can’t talk about things like that. And a lot of people can’t heal on their own. They need someone

to guide them.”Callingbull has

been open about her past, saying she hoped her story would help others dealing with the same pain.

“I was picking bottles for food. I would have never thought I'm going to be Mrs. Universe someday,” she said. “Growing up and dealing with that, I thought this is a perfect platform to share my story … to be a success story for them.”

She also wanted

to celebrate her First Nations identity, wearing a traditional jingle dress for the parade of nations, and singing a tradi-tional song for the talent competition. “A lot of people mis-represent us in pag-eants,” she told CTV news. “For example, if a Canadian woman is representing Canada, they might wear a revealing, sex-ualized outfit, with a head dress, and that is a complete misrep-resentation.”

Twitter explod-ed with support

for Callingbull — posts crowned her “an inspiration,” “a trailblazer” and “the most interesting per-son in Canada right now.”

Author and fel-low Albertan Kelly Oxford penned a congratulations mes-sage on Instagram, saying that while she is “typically anti-pageant and objecti-fication of women,” she believes “Ashley will be such a posi-tive inspiration for so

many Canadian First Nations girls — who are the group of Canadians needing it the very, very most.”

“I urge all First Nations people in Canada to vote in this upcoming election. We are in desparate need of a new Prime Minister,” Callingbull said on social media. “Fight for your rights before they get taken away. Please vote to make change. Say NO to Harper’s govern-ment!”

The crisis of Syrian refugees hit home for many B.C. residents as the aunt of the young boy who drowned try-ing to reach Greece lives in B.C. Two-year old Alan Kurdi drowned along with his mother and older brother, five-year old Galib. His father, Abdullah was the only member of the family to survive.

The image of the young boy on the beach has gone viral; bringing into focus the desperate measures families are taking to escape the fighting and highlighting the global connectedness between Syria and the rest of the world.

John Morton confirmed that the United Church will be accepting donations through the Credit Union. Details of the program through the church weren’t avail-able as of press time but locals can donate through the Credit Union to account 814-4 “Special Needs

- Syria.”Abdullah’s sister,

Tima Kurdi, lives in Coquitlam and but sent them the money to assist them in their dangerous crossing in an attempt to escape their war-torn home-land.

Thousands of migrants are arriving daily on Greek Islands on overcrowded din-ghys after making the dangerous 800-mile crossing of the Mediterranean from Syria or Turkey deliv-ered by smugglers. The influx of people has overwhelmed the island’s small population, stretch-ing already limited resources.

For example, the Greek island of Lesbos, with some 100,000 residents, has been transformed by the sudden new population of about 20,000 refugees and migrants, mostly from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.

Tima Kurdi says her brother and his wife Reham wanted to bring Alan and his older brother Galib

to Canada, although she made it clear no formal process had begun at the time of their death. Citizenship and Immigration con-firmed her statement.

The photo got the world’s attention and has had reverbera-tions into Canadians conscience: dona-

tions to aid groups are pouring in and provincial leaders are asking Ottawa to open the door to Syrian refugees.

Nova Scotia Justice Minister Diane Whalen has asked the federal government to “open the door to Canada” and send Syrian refugees to this

province.She said Lena Diab,

the province's immi-gration minister, has been in touch with Ottawa but there has been no response yet.

“We are willing and able. They are well aware of our interest,” Whalen said last week. “The scope of the cri-sis is huge. We're try-ing to do something. It is almost unbelievable to see the level of suf-fering.”

So far Germany and Austria have accepted the largest numbers of refugees, opening their borders last week and wel-coming thousands of migrants who made the remainder of their journey on foot through neighbour-ing countries such as Hungary.

Germany is prepar-ing to receive an esti-mated 800,000 by the end of the year, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel said other EU nations should take some of those people.

Here in North America the crisis quickly found its way into the federal elec-tion campaign.

The Conservative government were quick to defend their record on refugee immigration, but

numbers released by the United Nations last week told a differ-ent story.

A United Nations report reveals that Canada is at the bot-tom of a top-15 list of receiving countries. In 2014, Canada received 13,500 asylum claims, about one-third more than the year before. In compari-son, Sweden, a small Nordic country with 9.6 million people and a quarter of Canada’s population, admitted 75,100 refugees last year.

During a campaign event in B.C., Prime Minister Harper said military action is also needed to address to root cause of the refu-gee crisis.

“And I do not know how, for the life of me, you look at that picture and say, ‘Yeah, we want to help that family, but we want to walk away from the military mission that's trying to prevent ISIS from killing tens of millions of people,'’” Harper said.

Immigration Minister Chris Alexander said dur-ing an interview on CBC News Network last week that Canada needs to “accelerate the processing times” of refugee applica-

tions, saying that the government is cur-rently far from hitting its goal. 

Opposition can-didates have focused solely on immediately accepting more refu-gees.

“The international community has failed. Canada has failed. I just want us to start acting now, as do all Canadians,” NDP Leader Tom Mulcair said.

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau called for a meeting with all leaders to discuss the crisis.

Since the conflict more than four mil-lion people have fled the country, many of them pouring into neighbouring countries. But after finding themselves in underfunded and overcrowded refugee camps there, many are now taking the bigger risks of trying to find a new life in Europe.

“They didn't deserve to die,” Abdullah Kurdi's sister, Tima Kurdi, told reporters in Coquitlam, “There is one thing should be done, to end the war. I'm blaming the whole world for this, not helping enough the refugees.”

DR. PAUL MARTIQUETMedical HealtH Officer

Many adults still feel the draw of a ‘new year’ come September, even years after they last attended school. This is especially true for those with children who are now getting ready for back-to-school. There is the anticipation of recon-necting with friends, a new teacher, new clothes and supplies and maybe even a new school. Back to school also offers an excellent opportunity to estab-lish, or re-establish positive routines and healthy habits.

Heading back to school is a good time to review your child’s immunization record. The first time your child enters school or preschool is also a time they will be exposed to new bugs and infections. Colds and flu, certainly, but potentially more seri-

ous illnesses as well. That is why immuniza-tions are particularly important. Starting at age four (before starting kindergarten) all children usually receive two vaccines which will protect them against a number of serious diseases: tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), polio, measles, mumps, rubella and chicken pox.

Looking over that list one might wonder why we still vacci-nate. After all, aren’t these infections rare in BC and in Canada? Routine childhood vaccination programs have been success-ful in limiting these infections, but they are not eradicated — cases of preventable diseases pop up every year. Vaccines are safe and, given the choice between a vaccina-tion and the disease it guards against, protect-ing a child should be paramount. In a case where someone at school has a vaccine-

preventable infectious disease, unprotected children may be asked to stay home until it is safe to return.

Vancouver Coastal Health has an excel-lent booklet about the immunization choice you make for your child. It is available from Public Health, or online at www.vch.ca/media/parent_hand-book_immuniza-tion_choice.pdf and includes links to many other resources that can help explain why your child deserves to be protected.

The September school return offers the opportunity to get back to healthier eat-ing habits. Mealtimes may have become more random and food choices not as healthy over the summer so this is a perfect time to rethink eating habits.

One of the best rou-tines to establish is eat-ing breakfast. Skipping this meal decreases school performance and may contribute to overeating later, par-ticularly if lunch is also missed. A candy bar and giant soda are no

substitute for breakfast and lunch.

While a sit-down breakfast is ideal, we all know it is not always possible. The next best thing is to give your kids a grab-and-go breakfast that could include fresh or dried fruit, cheese, low-sugar grain cereal, yoghurt or a homemade smoothie. Whatever the choice, make sure to include a protein, especially for lunch.

Lunch can be a dif-ferent challenge since you won’t be there. Do you want to make

sure your child eats his or her lunch? Get them involved either by having them make it themselves, or have them help you decide and prepare the lunch. Having your child pack it themselves also helps build confidence.

Physical activity is another routine which has been shown to benefit children by making them not only healthier, but also hap-pier and more ready to learn. Participating in sports, organized or not, helps them to make friends, develop

new skills and improve self-confidence. And just getting to school can be a great link to more physical activity. Children who walk, ride or ‘skate’ to school benefit from the activ-ity, which contributes to the development of many other healthy habits.

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.

Getting ready for a healthy school year

September’s return to school is also a good time to review your child’s immunization record.”

BY TOM FLETCHER

The B.C. govern-ment has added $1 million to its budget for helping refugees settle in the province, and has opened a toll-free information line for those who want to

sponsor people flee-ing violence in Syria.

Premier Christy Clark announced the funding in Vancouver Tuesday, along with a toll-free information num-ber for community groups and private sponsors at 1-877-952-6914.

Clark said the province currently spends about $4 million a year to support the federal program that settles immigrants in B.C.

The extra funds will be reserved for assistance to Syrian refugees, she said.

"It is our belief that it's just not good enough to totally open our doors," Clark said. "We have to make sure that when refu-gees get here, we're doing everything that we can to help them realize the Canadian dream and find their way as seamlessly as pos-sible in to British

Columbia."The one-time

investment will be used for trauma counselling, help for for groups of citi-zens to navigate the refugee sponsorship process, foreign cre-dential recognition and community and employer supports including matching training funds for those committed to hiring a Syrian refu-gee.

Clark said all the federal parties have

indicated they want to increase refugee intake in response to the Syrian civil war, and B.C. has sup-ported that position for several years. Last year about 36,000 immigrants arrived in B.C., and about 1,500 were refugees.

"Our job isn't to decide who's com-ing in when," Clark said. "That's their job. Our job is to make sure we're ready."

During the eve-ning of August 27 or the early morning of August 28 unknown persons broke into the Ministry of Forests locked compound in Alexis Creek.  The suspects forced entry into a building and stole two ATV's which belonged to the local BC Wildfire Service “Chilcotin Ravens Unit Crew” which is a wildfire suppression team based out the

Alexis Creek Forestry office.

The stolen ATVs were a 2012 red in color Honda TRX 420 and a 2008 Suzuki King Quad, green in color.

 The ATVs were used extensively this summer by the Ravens Crew to fight the Puntzi Lake wild-fire and their loss is damaging to the Ravens Crew ability to fight wildfires.

The Alexis Creek

RCMP are request-ing the public’s assistance with any information which would lead to the recovery of the sto-len ATV and the arrest of the person's responsible.  Please contact the RCMP at (250) 394-4211 or Crime Stoppers at 1 800 222-TIPS (8477).  Crimes Stoppers also subscribes to web tips at www.bccrimestopppers.com
