SAMS Student Council member Carrigan Tallio presents Leonard Kozak with an award for 22 years of service

School District #49 Board of Education celebrates Long Term Service 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, secretaries 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 individuals 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, maintenance 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 MCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 - longest 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 SEE EMPLOYEES ON PAGE 3

The amazing mural at Shearwater is almost complete

Shearwater and Bella Bella to host a celebration of history on BC’s Central Coast 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 dedication ceremony commemorating 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 obelisk and a totem pole carved by Heiltsuk artist Yagvudlas, Ian ‘Nusi Reid. Reid, whose ancestral name ‘Nusi means

‘Full Moon,’ was born and raised in Bella Bella. His main cultural 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 ceremony. The second event, “Bella Bella – United in History” is a celebration of the founding of Bella Bella and the

united efforts of the Central Coast community, Heiltsuk and nonAboriginal, 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 internationally acclaimed muralist, 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 recognized 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 factor John McLoughlin who established Fort McLoughlin at Bella Bella in 1833 and images of historic

Burnt Bridge Creek continues to flood along Highway 20 Caitlin Thompson Burnt Bridge Creek has been steadily making its way along Highway 20 for the last month, and the situation is only getting worse. Several homes and properties 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 negatively affected many properties in the area. However, at present, nothing has been done to address the situation. 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 currently working with the local residents and CCRD to assess mitigation options,” said Ilnicki.

goals for their students, 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 atmosphere. Remarkable biodiversity, a varied and burgeoning science and research program with scientists and university students in residence, and beautiful and accessible hiking trails and beaches all contribute to this thriving environment. The visits of young people who show such interest in and respect for Hakai’s

activities and offerings 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 coming years.

Centennial Pool open for the summer season It must be summer 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 comfortable. This year the Pool Commission is introducing monthly and season passes. These passes are available at the pool for individuals and families.

Centennial Pool is officially open for the summer! 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 lessons 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 swimmers 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 9822488). For the month of June the pool will be open for public swimming Monday to Friday 3:30 to 5:30 and starting the weekend of June 22, 1:00 to 3:00 and 3:30 to 6:30. Check with pool the July and August Schedule.

Successful 2013 soccer season wraps up 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 kindergarten 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 community 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 friendships among the players of the valley. Thanks to all the players, coaches, referees and parents who helped make this a successful year.

Congratulations to the Valley Ridge Riders on their 28th Annual Rodeo! Stop in for a bucket of Chester Fried Chicken!

The Amazing Hakai Beach Institute Aodhan Cearnaigh The following is a reflection essay written by a SAMS student from Ms. Germain’s Science 10 class about their yearend 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 fascinating 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 noticing 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 collection 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 treatment 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 institute to various parts of the island as well. While in Hakai we met with various people, each of them with some job or research based out

of Hakai. The first presentation we had was by an archaeologist studying past environments and sea levels. While we were out there he talked to us about the past time when glaciers 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 knowing the layers at the bottom were thousands 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 influenced movements of the water. Their organization gave money to small communities in the intent of supporting or protecting one thing or another. A benefactor who wanted to for example, “save the bears” or “protect the salmon 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 adventure to check out a number of intertidal 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, learning about the species on the coast, seeing all the people with their jobs and passions, 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; obviously 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 support in our fundraising efforts. Overall, great trip! Fun was had by all and memories made. My only question remaining: when do we go back?

SAMS students and staff thoroughly enjoyed their trip to Hakai

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 OpenWater-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 station. One of the stations 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 captain showed us the driver’s and navigator’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 telescope. Then we attached a camera to the telescope and took pictures 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 finished at the stations we went to the front of the dock and got some stickers, activity books, pencils, whistles 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.
