Tweedsmuir Ski Hill in great shape for 2015 season If the dreary weather is getting 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 kilometers from Bella Coola, the Tweedsmuir Ski Club has been operating in the area for 50 years. Made up of a varying group of ski, snowmobile and outdoor enthusiasts, the

Valley has been fortunate to have such dedicated individuals volunteer their time to maintain and expand on these operations. The overnight cabin, ski cabin and rope tow are located approximately two kilometers 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 website at www.tweedsmuirskiclub.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 sunshine 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.

Young artist Danika Naccarella receives Isabel Mikkelson Award The Bella Coola Valley Awards Foundation Society is pleased to announce that Danika Naccarella is the 2014-15 recipient of the Isabel Mikkelson Award for post-secondary study in an artsrelated field. Danika is entering her second 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 dedicated young artist, practicing my craft daily to improve my skills, and develop new ones. Art is a

form of personal selfexpression, 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 educational opportunity, and her efficiency and pleasant demeanor was much appreciated 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 grandfather, 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 credentials 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 education assistance, the Foundation has provided subsidy for school music trips, individual summer music programmes, adult education supplement 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.

Fire destroys Thorsen Creek’s recycling attendant trailer 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 following 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 convenience to the public. 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 cardboard 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 development of adolescents is an important element 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 judgement and authority of others to learning to make independent and responsible choices. Add in physical 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 adulthood and of experimentation 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 behaviours that are harmful to their health in adolescence and later life. Supportive relationships such as with families and peers, in schools and the community can lessen the incidence and harm of risky activities; they can also encourage health-enhancing behaviours among adolescents. The development of adolescents is also influenced by their social environment. The likelihood of engaging in potentially risky activities such as getting drunk or using drugs is higher when people around them do so. A number of themes show up in the research on adolescent development. We find that there will be ‘clustering of behaviours.’ This means that individuals who engage in one ‘risky’ behaviour (for example, smoking) are more likely to engage in other risky behav-

Dr. Martiquet “Resilience is a sort of insulating capacity that enables people to cope successfully, or to “bounce back” in the face of adversity or risk.” 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 insulating capacity that enables people to cope successfully, or to “bounce back” in the face of adversity or risk. Resilience increases with the number of developmental assets an adolescent possesses. Developmental assets are described as positive relationships, opportunities, competencies, values and self-perceptions that adolescents need to succeed. These may be external (support, empowerment, boundaries, expectations) or internal (a commitment to learning, positive values, social competencies, positive identity). Assets and feelings of connectedness play important roles in healthy development, including protecting youth against risky behaviours, promoting positive and healthy choices and building resiliency in youth to help them cope with challenges and difficulties. The more assets an adolescent 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 adolescent’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 rewarding time of change, action and an evolution from child to adult. Dr. Paul Martiquet is the Medical Health Officer for Rural Vancouver Coastal Health including Powell River, the Sunshine Coast, Seato-Sky, Bella Bella and Bella Coola.

Milton C. Sheppard October 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. 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.

Milt....Dad.... Grandpa.... Brother....Uncle.... Friend... We love you and we miss you... Rest in Peace.
