Coast Mountain News Thursday, June 20, 2013 A1
On May 30 staff from all sectors of School District #49 gathered with the Board of Education to celebrate the long-term service of over 30 of its staff. Trustee Nicola Koroluk spoke on behalf of Board Chair Russ Hilland who was stuck in Vancouver. She spoke to the fact that both as a parent and as a trustee she felt that the success of our school district has rested upon the hard work, dedica-
tion and service of all staff from bus drivers, custodians, educational assistants, secre-taries and teachers.
Following Trustee Koroluk, Superintendent Norma Hart spoke to how humbled she was to work in a district with such dedicated individuals. She thanked the many indi-viduals who not only made our district a success but also those who had put so much into making the evening a
success: Paige Ratcliff for her wonderful job decorating and organizing the meal, main-tenance staff Mark Chatham and Ken Doiron for setting up the tables, chairs, and stage for the evening, and Jeremy Baillie for organizing the overall event. Sir Alexander Mackenzie Principal Jeremy Baillie then introduced the two student Masters of Ceremonies for the rest of the evenings events, student
council President, Melissa Brooks and fellow student council member, Carrigan Tallio.
The two MC’s first unleashed a hungry crowd on the lovely catered meal prepared by Adell Robson. Shortly after dinner, Melissa and Carrigan brought the crowd back to begin the presentation of the years of service awards to many of the assembled staff.
Below is a complete list of the individuals honoured: Heather Ross (38 years - lon-gest serving employee by date of hire), Clara Price (38 years), Wes White (32 years), Marlyn Cherry (31 years), Horace Walkus (29 years), Pat Walkus (29 years), Sheila Wilson (28 years), Terry Johnson (26 years), Elaine Ignas (25 years), Dan Watts

Melissa and Carrigan did a wonder-ful job regaling the staff with their own personal memories from their first days of school to the present day of interacting with each of the staff honoured. Although some of the honourees could not attend due to other commitments, the night cul-minated in an unplanned standing ovation for teacher Clara Price who, next to Heather Ross, has been with the district the longest at 38 years of service!
On Saturday, July 6, there will be two separate events taking place in Shearwater, BC recognizing the history of the region. There will be a World War II cenotaph dedication ceremony followed by a mural unveiling entitled “Bella Bella – United in History,” celebrating the founding of Bella Bella.
The first event is a cenotaph dedica-tion ceremony com-memorating the Bella Bella World War II Royal Canadian Air Force Station and the airmen, veterans, and local aboriginal veterans who served in the various wars and peacekeeping missions during the 20th century. The monument, a model Stranraer aircraft with a 17ft wing span stands beside an obe-lisk and a totem pole carved by Heiltsuk art-ist Yagvudlas, Ian ‘Nusi Reid.
Reid, whose ances-tral name ‘Nusi means
‘Full Moon,’ was born and raised in Bella Bella. His main cul-tural mentor has been his great aunt, Mary Hunt. She is one of the last matriarchs of the Heiltsuk Nation with extensive cultural knowledge.
The Warrior’s Pole depicts the raven guarding the warrior as a tribute to their courage and honour. In the words of Reid, the pole “will be installed by the crew and descendents of the people who went to war and still live here. This pole will stand for generations to come and people will never forget the sacrifices that were made to protect our country, and we shall never forget the fallen.” There will be a formal military dedication as well as a traditional Heiltsuk blessing cer-emony.
The second event, “Bella Bella – United in History” is a celebra-tion of the founding of Bella Bella and the
united efforts of the Central Coast commu-nity, Heiltsuk and non-Aboriginal, and their contributions to the area. The event will mark the unveiling of a 120’ by 22’ mural that has been painted on the side of an original World War II aircraft hangar by internation-ally acclaimed mural-ist, Paul Ygartua.
Ygartua, who is based in Canada, Spain, France, and England, has received international acclaim for his monumental murals and domed ceilings. His work is appreciated and rec-ognized by collectors worldwide. He is the creator of some of the largest murals in North America and Europe.
The mural features portraits of the four founding Chiefs of the Heiltsuk Nation in regalia, a portrait of the Hudson’s Bay fac-tor John McLoughlin who established Fort McLoughlin at Bella Bella in 1833 and images of historic
Heiltsuk and non-Aboriginal community members who made a significant contribu-tion to the establish-ment of the greater Bella Bella community during the past 150 years.
Between the two events, there will be a traditional salmon
barbecue and perfor-mances by Heiltsuk dancers. For more information, a media kit, to arrange an interview, or to inquire about traveling to Shearwater for the day’s events, please contact: Trish Sissons at (604) 833-9547.

Dear Editor:
This is a let-ter in praise of the youth of Bella Coola, and the SAMS and Acwsalcata staff who teach and nurture them. As the Education
Coordinator for Hakai Beach Institute, a research, education, and meet-ing centre on Calvert Island, I have seen much in the last month to impress and hearten me.
In early May,
SAMS Science teach-er Sara Germain, along with chap-erones Carol and Harvey Thommasen, brought twelve Grade 10 students to Hakai. In late May, Acwsalcta teachers and staff includ-
ing Will Sandoval, Lindsey and Geoff Gericke, Karen Anderson, Esther Hans, and Clyde Tallio, accompanied 16 students to Hakai.
Although their weeks were differ-ent, they had many shared elements: hard working adults who were thoughtful about their educa-tional and personal
goals for their stu-dents, students who were interested and involved, and people who clearly cared about one another, and had each others’ interests at heart.
Hakai is a rich environment for youth and adults alike. The deep appreciation for the historic and current inhabitants of the Central Coast shown by owners Christina Munck and Eric Petersen contributes
to a hospitable and respectful atmo-sphere. Remarkable biodiversity, a varied and burgeoning sci-ence and research program with sci-entists and univer-sity students in resi-dence, and beautiful and accessible hiking trails and beaches all contribute to this thriving environ-ment.
The visits of young people who show such interest in and respect for Hakai’s
activities and offer-ings truly enrich the Institute and the people who live and work there. We are delighted that our relationships with Central Coast schools continue to grow and flourish, and look forward to many more successful (and fun!) events in com-ing years.
Yours sincerely,Helen MoatsHakai Beach

Flooding from Burnt Bridge Creek has been getting steadily worse over the past month
CAITLIN THOMPSONBurnt Bridge Creek
has been steadily making its way along Highway 20 for the last month, and the situation is only get-ting worse. Several homes and proper-ties are affected, and some homeowners are restricted access to their homes due to flooding across their driveways.
Since the 2010 flood, Burnt Bridge Creek has drastically changed course, and the result has nega-tively affected many properties in the area. However, at present, nothing has been done to address the situa-tion.
Interior Roads has
confirmed that, as a contractor, there is no action they can take until the Ministry of Transportation gives approval and funding. Leanna Ilnicki, West Chilcotin Area Manager for the Ministry of Transportation, said the Ministry is looking into the problem.
“The Ministry is very much aware of the situation in that area, and we are actively monitoring our infrastructure closely in conjunction with our maintenance contractor, and cur-rently working with the local residents and CCRD to assess miti-gation options,” said Ilnicki.
Burnt Bridge Creek continues to flood along Highway 20

It must be sum-mer as the Centennial Pool is open. The Pool Commission would like to encourage the community to come out and enjoy the pool. A number of changes have been made this year in hopes to make the pool more inviting to all members of the public.
First of all there is a brand new viewing area. The pool can now boast about the new covered seating area that will allow spectators to watch the swimmers in the shade and out of the rain! For years parents have had to squish themselves into a small area to stay dry or in the shade, this new area will make your wait more com-fortable.
This year the Pool Commission is intro-ducing monthly and season passes. These passes are available at the pool for indi-viduals and families.
This is a fantastic cost saving method for the entire family to enjoy the pool all summer.
A new schedule is place this year. For families that would like lessons, but can’t make the morning
sessions, you can now enroll in evening les-sons twice a week. For all the adults who would like to learn to swim but don’t want to be in the class with kids you can now participate in lessons
during an adult only session.
The Commission would also like to encourage our swim-mers to become involved in a swim club. If there are enough participants, the pool will hold some fun swim meets (races) throughout the summer. If you would like to make someone’s birthday extra special you can rent the pool out on a Saturday or Sunday (lunch time) and host your own private pool party. Picnic tables are available on the grassed area.
Friendly pool staff is available to answer your questions or suggestions (250 982-2488). For the month of June the pool will be open for public swimming Monday to Friday 3:30 to 5:30 and starting the week-end of June 22, 1:00 to 3:00 and 3:30 to 6:30. Check with pool the July and August Schedule.

On Sunday June 9 many up and coming soccer stars of the Valley Youth finished up another season of soccer. This year instead of a year-end tournament the league held a wrap-up party. Players brought many tasty snacks to share in this potluck style celebration and the league provided hotdogs and juice to all the players. Players enjoyed themselves on this fun filled sunny day.
The venue for all games this year was changed to Walker Island. This proved to be a beautiful location for games, and it is midway between the valley communities. The field was generally in good condition, although it was a little small for the high school students who really would have liked full sized goals. However it did allow them the opportunity to play and develop different skills.
This year the league had four divisions. Our youngest division made up of three, four, and five year olds had a great season of learning basic skills while playing fun games to practice their new skills. The kin-dergarten to grade two’s had many fantastic games. The improvement in this age group from last year was phenomenal. Team Rod and Gun under the leadership of Kyle Doiron showed everyone that soc-
cer is a team game. Over the last three years the improvement of Ellery Dester’s soccer skills has been amazing. Jaymen Schieck’s determination didn’t go unnoticed, as did the courage of little Danny Legault who is only in preschool, but was determined to play real games with the big kids.
The new field best suited our grade three to five league. Players were able to work on their skills and enjoy themselves. After a slow start the high school students were able to play many games throughout the season, and work on the different skills that are needed on a small field. In the final game Felicity Delay’s “girl power” in goal led her team to victory in penalty shots, and she scored the winning penalty goal as well. Good job to all the players!
One of the goals of our com-munity soccer league is to see all the players on teamwork together regardless of where they go to school. The league works hard with coaches to divide the teams up by skill, however, we believe this develops healthy competition as well helping to create new friend-ships among the players of the valley. Thanks to all the players, coaches, referees and parents who helped make this a successful year.
Successful 2013 soccer season wraps up

The following is a reflection essay written by a SAMS student from Ms. Germain’s Science 10 class about their year-end class trip out to Hakai Beach Institute on Calvert Island this May.
I feel so lucky to have been able to go on the trip to Hakai. It was an amazing experience that I will probably remember for a lifetime. The entire trip was great from beginning to finish. We had some wonderful hikes and saw many amazing creatures. Our class learned about the past and the present, biology, geology, and many other fascinat-ing subjects. People were in good spirits the entire time. How could you not be in a place like Hakai?
We came to Hakai in the water taxi from Bella Bella. The entire trip only took about two hours total. I remember notic-ing the changes in the environment. The wind smelled different, salty like the ocean it blew in from. The water became clearer and bluer then it ever gets in Bella Coola. The trees get smaller and look windblown. Their branches reach one way or another. They look scraggily. The Coast Mountains are shorter than the ones farther inland.
Hakai Beach Institute on Calvert Island is a pretty cool place. It is a collec-tion of buildings that once used to be a fishing lodge back in the day. There is the main lodge, a few cabins, a smaller lab/winter living space, water treat-ment building, power storage and control, heating, and other lab buildings. The entire establishment is set in a stunning coastal vista. There are many trails from the insti-tute to various parts of the island as well.
While in Hakai we met with vari-ous people, each of them with some job or research based out
of Hakai. The first presentation we had was by an archae-ologist studying past environments and sea levels. While we were out there he talked to us about the past time when gla-ciers covered inland of what we call BC and how only the coast was exposed. He said that much of what is underwater now was once land or islands. He told us about using pollen records to determine the plant life of that time. To finish off is presentation we were taken to a dig site of his team’s. It was weird looking into that hole and know-ing the layers at the bottom were thou-sands of years old.
We also talked with some people from an organization called Tides Canada. Despite their name, they had nothing to do with moon influ-enced movements of the water. Their orga-nization gave money to small communities in the intent of sup-porting or protecting one thing or another. A benefactor who wanted to for exam-ple, “save the bears” or “protect the salm-on run” could contact a member of Tides and figure out a way to use their money in a beneficial and realistic way. In short they were the bridge between a city mind with good intentions and small towns on the coast with things like bears and people. After they explained this to our class they took us on an adven-ture to check out a number of inter-tidal species on West Beach we had never seen before.
My highlights for the trip were many and often. The entire trip was pretty much a highlight in itself. I really enjoyed the hikes, swimming at West Beach, learn-ing about the species on the coast, seeing all the people with their jobs and pas-sions, and being out on the coast away from everything. Staying in the lodge was awesome as well. It’s pretty hard to go
wrong with gourmet meals and five star accommodations. There were some great meals and I have to say “Thank you” to the cooks too. The two nights we spend sleeping on the beach overnight were super fun, complete with wolf tracks in the morning!
We have many people to thank for this trip; obvi-ously the Hakai Beach Institute for
their generosity and opportunity to learn from such incredible surroundings and professionals, but also our chaperones Harvey and Carol Thommasen, School District 49, and the entire Bella Coola Valley for their sup-port in our fundrais-ing efforts. Overall, great trip! Fun was had by all and memo-ries made. My only question remaining: when do we go back?

On Wednesday, June 5, 2013 the BCE Grade Three class went to the wharf, where some Fisheries people showed us some interesting things about their work.
Thanks to Janice Newkirk and Centennial Pool we were able to use some new PFD’s. They were yellow and had two straps and a zipper. The PFD’s were sent to Bella Coola by the Lifesaving Society and the Canadian Red Cross as part of a program called Open-Water-Wisdom. They were awesome!
Anyone who wants to borrow a PFD can contact the Bella Coola Lending Program at Centennial Pool. We got on the bus and drove quickly to the Wharf. When we got there we were split into four groups and we did four stations and each group went to a different sta-tion. One of the sta-tions was to see the Coast Guard boat. The captain showed us the control room, the radar, the engine room, the top of his boat, and the galley.
The next station
was the Fisheries speedboat. The cap-tain showed us the driver’s and naviga-tor’s seats, two huge motors that were 250 horse power each and he showed us a crab trap that had two big sunfish. At the next station we got to use some very high power binoculars and a tele-scope.
Then we attached a camera to the tele-scope and took pic-tures of our friends. We also were able to use really cool night vision glasses in a dark room. The last station was the best. We got to use a seine net to catch fish. We put it out then trapped fish in the net. We caught about 16 smolts and we also caught three sculpins.
Then we put them in buckets and looked closely at them before setting them free. When we were fin-ished at the stations we went to the front of the dock and got some stickers, activity books, pencils, whis-tles and some people got measuring tapes.
It was nice that Centennial Pool could loan us the life jackets, and that the Fisheries workers showed us all around and told us about their jobs, fish, and boats.

A joint effort by numerous agencies resulted in an early Christmas for many victims of last fall’s tremendous flood. At the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure office in Williams Lake, Leanna Illinicki and Loreen Russell organized a project that substituted their usual staff gift exchange in favour of buying gifts for flood-affected families.
In addition to the Ministry of Transportation’s generos-ity, other BCGEU employees from various provincial minis-tries including the Corrections Branch, Client Services Branch,Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Forests and Range, Ministry of Agriculture and Lands, and the Integrated Land Management Bureau took part in the project, as did their union.Interior Roads, Dawson Construction, Triton Environmental and Binnie
Associates donated $4,000 to the Flood Relief Bank account to be used for firewood, furnace fuel and hay.Many people purchased specific items that families had indicated their children would appreciate including bikes, hel-mets, skates, board games and clothing.
Leanna loaded two pick-up trucks with the gifts and deliv-ered them to Bella Coola where volunteers used the Mormon Church Hall to organize and distribute them. Employees
at the Williams Lake hospital also sent gifts to the valley via Beeline Courier.Earlier that week Michel Bazille (CEO of the Bella Coola Hospital), and some of the hos-pital staff delivered gift blankets that had been donated to flood affected households, which had been donated by Vancouver Coastal Health employees in Vancouver.
The Bella Coola Flood Restoration Committee was also able to organize two vol-unteer work crews that assisted
local householders in from mid October through November and December. The first group to arrive was a six-person crew from the Mennonite Disaster Service. Hosed at the Community Church in Hagensborg these men helped fourteen householders with cleanup and reconstruction during the nine days that they were in the valley.In mid-November volun-
