The Pacific Grizzly, built by Boeing in 1936, has been an iconic boat on B.C.'s coast
Salvage underway on sunken Pacific Grizzly at Bella Coola Harbour BY CAITLIN THOMPSON The Pacific Grizzly is underwater and the cause of her demise is still being investigated. “At this time, the Harbour Authority is
considering this an unfortunate incident,” said Garrett Newkirk, President of the Bella Coola Harbour Authority. The vessel went down late last week, and it was apparently very quick. “I check the boat daily or every other day,” said
Leonard Ellis, owner. “That particular day I only viewed the boat from the parking lot, but there was no indication anything was wrong.” Ellis admits the boat needed repairs, but cited financial strain a major obstacle in keeping the
vessel up to date. The Pacific Grizzly is a historic vessel, with a 75-foot wooden plank hull. It was built in Vancouver by Boeing in 1936, and Ellis ran a guide-outfitting/hunting business with the Pacific Grizzly for many years,
which he said generated $500,000 per year at its height. “It’s a very large, old, wooden hull vessel that requires a large cash flow to maintain,” he said. “Business just hasn’t been good enough to generate that kind of
money.” Ellis said that he has been trying to deal with the boat for years, having sold it twice at auction only to have both deals fall through, calling the current scenario his “worst nightmare.” SEE DERELICT ON PAGE 3

Derelict vessels a problem all over B.C. coast FROM PAGE 1 “I can’t just remove it that easily,” he explained. “I tried everything and exhausted all possibilities of trying to sell it. My back’s up against the wall.” Ellis says there is a variety of possibilities as to why the boat sank, and he isn’t ruling anything out, including foul play by “eco-terrorists.” “Given it sunk so quickly, I suspect something major may happened to the hull below waterline,” said Ellis. “At that time there was quite a bad wind and rain squall going through the harbour and there was lots of activity. The cause of the sinking is yet to be determined and we will not know anything until we can raise the vessel and inspect the hull for damage.” Newkirk agrees. “Nothing will be determined until the vessel is brought back up,” he said. “The Harbour has known the vessel is in poor shape, but the Harbour cannot simply ask someone to leave because the vessel looks bad. Derelict vessels are a problem up and down the coast and
every single harbour in B.C. is dealing with issues like this. Shearwater Marine has been contracted by the vessel owner to remove the vessel at the owners expense, with work to begin as soon as possible.” Clean-up efforts were mobilized as soon as the vessel began to sink, with Harbour employee Carl Schooner, volunteers, the Nuxalk Coastal Guardian Watchmen, and Newkirk and Ellis. Authorities were very pleased with the professional response by all involved. “We used every mop-up and containment boom available to us,” said Newkirk. “The Coast Guard has now taken over the clean up operation and they have said they were very happy with the local response.” Ellis estimated the tanks were about half-full when the vessel went under, containing about 100 gallons of diesel. He said he believes the containment efforts to stop the diesel from leaking from the vent tanks were successful early on and that no more fuel is leaking from the boat.
Local clean-up efforts were swift and professional, according to the Coast Guard The Coast Guard is now supervising the operation and will be working with the owner, who is fully responsible for all clean up costs and the cost of removing the vessel from the harbour. “The Ministry of Environment Agent is satisfied that there is no Environmental damage and that the situation is under control,” Ellis stated. “The Coast Guard is satisfied as well, and now I have to look at
the salvage operation and how to safely remove it from the harbour.” A barge arrived from Shearwater over the weekend and the vessel is expected to be taken apart by an excavator as a salvage operation and transported out of the harbour. “We are waiting for the appropriate tides to start the work,” said Ellis. “This is not how I wanted the Pacific Grizzly to end her run.”

Centennial Pool hosts first Swim Meet of the year On August 2nd Centennial Pool was proud to host our very first swim meet of the year. We had beautiful weather for the meet, which swimmers had been training diligently for since the start of this season at our swim club. It was great to see participants of all ages lining up to compete in a variety of different competitions. The meet featured races such as the 72 metre freestyle, the 36 metre dolphin
kick, and even went on to include the ‘Individual Medley’, which featured a length each of butterfly, back crawl, breaststroke and finally front crawl. Everyone had great enthusiasm and swam their hardest. After two hours of fun and racing the swimmers were awarded with creamsicles, freezies, and ribbons. The meet was a huge success and we are hosting another one on August 16th at 10:00am. Be sure to come and join us!

Nuxalk Nation hosts informative Nan (Grizzly) and T’la (Black) Bear Day By Caitlin Thompson The Nuxalk Nation hosted an informative Nan (Grizzly Bear) and T’la (Black Bear) Day at the Nuxalk Hall last week. “It’s a chance for people to come and ask questions and find out information,” said organizer Megan Moody, Nuxalk Stewardship Director. “We brought together a variety of different organizations and we’ve also got several presenters.” Present at the meeting were the Nuxalk Bear Safety Group, the biologists and researchers of the Nuxalk Bear Study, Clyde Tallio and Iris Siwallace of the Nuxalk Indigenous Law Project, Sgt. Len Butler of the Conservation Officer Service, Fraser Koroluk of WildSafe BC, and Chief Councillor Douglas Neasloss of the Kitasoo/Xai’Xais. “It’s been going really well this year,” said Jason Moody of the Nuxalk Bear Safety Group. “We keep a log book of every incident we respond to, and there are a lot more salmon in the creeks this year so conflicts are much lower than this time
last year.” Moody explained that his crew has been working consistently to reduce conflict by brushing out excess brush, redesigning fish processing areas, cleaning up discarded fish waste, installing electric fences and responding to any reports of problems immediately. “We’re getting out there and offering our support and talking to people,” he said. “We’re also closely monitoring bear activity so we can keep the community informed if there is a bear in the area.” Moody said the the response has been very positive, with many people taking on redesigning their fish processing areas to reduce negative interactions, and that the COS has been very supportive of their proactive approach. Clyde Tallio and Iris Siwallace also offered some unique cultural perspective on the traditional knowledge of the Nan and T’la through their Indigenous Law Project. “It’s fascinating, I am learning so much,” Siwallace shared. A Nuxalk speaker from birth, Siwallace has
previously worked at Acwsalcta School and with many cultural programs in the community. She said both her and Tallio are thoroughly enjoying their new positions, frequently uncovering and categorizing exciting cultural knowledge. A thorough explanation was also given of the Nuxalk Bear Study. Modeling itself after several similar studies on the Central Coast, the Nuxalk Bear Study uses a non-rewarding attractant to lure bears into a barbed wire perimeter. The bears then leave behind a hair sample which the researchers collect and analyze for data. Last year was the first complete year of the study, and yielded information on population numbers, health, and genetic analysis. Ron Schooner and Quentin Hans, both members of the Nuxalk Bear Safety Group and the Nuxalk Bear Study, explained that the study is important to understanding bear behaviour and population numbers on Nuxalk Territory. “The DNA left behind on the hair can tell us quite a bit,”

Schooner explained in his presentation. “We also have remote cameras at the sites which capture their movements and behaviour.” Heather Bryan, a biologist with the University of Victoria and Raincoast Conservation Foundation, told the crowd about the exciting discoveries she and her team have made through the hair sampling studies on the Central Coast. Bryan says the 2013 study found bears that consume lower amounts of salmon have higher levels of cortisol, which may be a bad thing. “Salmon declines contribute to higher levels of stress,” Bryan explained. “This can affect bear health in a variety of different ways, such as nutritional and social processes, and this can have long-term implications.” Bryan also said that with the addition of the Nuxalk Bear Study in the Bella Coola area, the total sample area has
jumped to 20,000 square kilometres, or the equivalent of a small country such as El Salvador. “The Central Coast area is now being monitored by five coastal nations,” said Bryan. “This is providing some of the information you need to stand up and affect change in your territory.” Kyle Artelle, a biologist working in Bella Bella, also provided information on bearhuman conflict in the Bella Coola Valley,
which indicates that conflicts rise in direct correlation with low salmon years. A graph mapping years of study of conflict in relation to salmon abundance showed a clear rise in conflict sine the early 2000’s, as spawning salmon numbers have dropped fairly consistently since then. “The evidence points to a direct correlation to increased conflict during low salmon years, not a higher number of bears,” said Artelle.
“In fact there are probably less bears, as there are less salmon, but these bears are taking higher risks to obtain food due to lack of salmon in the creeks.” The Nuxalk Bear Study now joins the monitoring efforts of the Heiltsuk, Kitasoo/ XaiXais, Wuikinuvx, and the Gitga'at. The day also included question and answer sessions with the COS and cultural sharing of songs and stories related to the Nan and T’la.

Bella Coola needs suitable ferry service, collaboration between communities, says NDP MP Nathan Cullen BY ERNEST HALL Restoring the Bella Coola ferry service is the first step toward revitalizing the regional economy, according to Member of Parliament Nathan Cullen. On a recent visit to the Central Coast and Bella Coola, Cullen (NDP MP for Skeena/ Bulkley Valley, which includes the Central Coast) said in an interview with the Coast Mountain NEWS that economic renewal involves “not only restoring the ferry service, but enhancing it.” He was commenting on the 2014 cancellation of the direct summer ferry service between Bella Coola and Port Hardy, a BC government decision which has seen many tourismrelated businesses between Northern Vancouver Island
and the Cariboo suffering for the past two seasons, some reporting financial losses of 60 - 85%. The decision replaced a 115-vehicle ferry on a 12-hour sailing with one that can carry a maximum of 16 cars on a 16-hour trip. Cullen said the area “started out so far ahead (in terms of tourist appeal) with its natural advantages”, but with the global tourism market “you have to remove barriers, not put them in the way.” He noted that he was involved in establishing the “Great Bear Rainforest” – an effort that cost $60 million in public money and another $60 million in private funds. “And now we’re not inviting people to see it.” “You have got to do more than put the welcome mat out. You’ve got to make it easy.”
Cullen has represented this riding for 11 years Cullen said the federal NDP is looking into the way the BC government manages the annual federal subsidy designed to help with the costs of operating the northern ferry service. These funds, some $21 million this year, are transferred to the province, and

should be dedicated to subsidize the costly northern routes such as the one eliminated in the 2014 cuts. But it might take legal work to determine if the money is used for what was intended. Cullen said these routes “need to be subsidized,” but this should be seen as an investment in the economy. “It pays back. You build it up. Like any business, if you put money in, you get more back. This is an investment that accrues over time,” he explained. Cullen, the NDP’s Economic Critic, says an economy like Bella Coola’s “Is just getting hammered with the changes to forestry and fishing,” he added, “It could be strong again, with a diverse economy, with a bit of forestry and fishing, some tourism, some farming.” He described the Central Coast Regional District as unique, being the only regional district in the province that doesn’t include at least one municipality, a fact that limits access to federal government funding. For example, areas in the northern part of his riding (which covers one-third of the entire province), recently received federal funding for some mountain bike trail development proj-
ects. Such projects would be valuable in the Bella Coola area, he noted. “Mountain bikers would come here if you had trails for them, but you need money for that.” Federal government money is rarely available for areas such as Regional Districts or Improvement Districts that don’t have “an anchored municipality”. He noted that Queen Charlotte City was incorporated nine years ago for that purpose, and since then has been able to access federal funding. Cullen referred to the frustration expressed in a community meeting during his visit regarding the need for waterworks improvements in the Valley, but added that this is a growing problem across Canada, “applying equally to places like Bella Coola, Vancouver, and Toronto.” This is part of a $70 billion infrastructure problem, he said, claiming “our infrastructure is crumbling and the federal government is not owning up to what’s happening. That’s a big, big bill that’s coming due.” He also described the Bella Coola Valley as unique in British Columbia. Nowhere else in the province is there such a large community sepa-
rated from its nearest sizable neighbour (Williams Lake) by such a great distance (400+ km). The environment and moderate climate have made this possible. One result of this is that “People like their independence. They like to be in a place where there aren’t a lot of rules and taxes and that kind of thing. That’s what I pick up in the Valley.” However, he added, “One of the downsides is that things like federal funding are harder to move.” Federal funds tend to “skew towards larger communities that have more drafters, writers, and proposal people” than smaller communities. Bella Coola area communities are also disadvantaged because residents are ineligible for the “Northern Living Allowance” which provides certain federal tax breaks. Despite their remoteness, resulting in high transportation costs, Cullen said this should be based on the cost of goods and services and not on location, noting that the program was set up decades ago when “a line on a map” determined which communities needed such assistance. He said this could be easily changed, but “you need a government wanting to change it.” He said the current federal government is “not interested” in changing this, perhaps because it allows them to “play politics” from time to time by bending the line and favouring certain regions to garner support. In spite of the obvious economic plight of Bella Coola and the Central Coast, Cullen says he is “optimistic” about the future for the region because of an increase in community collaboration that he is seeing in the northwest in general and recently
on the mid-coast. He pointed to cooperation between Bella Coola’s two community forests and efforts to work with First Nations communities as examples. After representing his riding for 11 years, Cullen said “I’m seeing a much higher level of collaboration than I’ve ever seen. I’ve seen towns that have bickered with one another, but you can’t afford to bicker when times are tough. The old patterns of mistrust and suspicion of your neighbour don’t work. You don’t have the luxury. You need to collaborate.” He said that the current federal election campaign is a good time to raise important issues, such as the need to restore and enhance suitable ferry service, recommending that the region lobby all of the political parties running in SkeenaBulkley Valley to agree on the issue so that whoever is elected can claim total non-partisan support. T his might be an effort to get a commitment on improvements to the Bella Coola harbour or to push for a “publicprivate partnership” in operating the marine link to Port Hardy. The latter, Cullen said, would require considerable government involvement because the ferry route is a public resource which could not be allowed to fail as a business. But BC Ferries needs to run the service properly, he noted., “BC Ferries CAN run this service properly. They have the mandate. They have the money. But they are choosing not to do so.” He likened BC Ferries to a moneylosing restaurant that doubles its prices and closes three days a week to improve its bottom line. see

Vast toxic algae bloom off the West Coast bringing severe consequences to seafood industry THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A vast bloom of toxic algae off the West Coast is denser, more widespread and deeper than scientists feared even weeks ago, according to surveyors aboard a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration research vessel. This coastal ribbon of microscopic algae, up to 64 kilometres wide and 198 metres deep in places, is flourishing amid unusually warm Pacific Ocean temperatures. It now stretches from at least California to Alaska and has shut down lucrative fisheries. Shellfish managers on Tuesday doubled the area off Washington's coast that is closed
to Dungeness crab fishing, after finding elevated levels of marine toxins in tested crab meat. So-called "red tides" are cyclical and have happened many times before, but ocean researchers say this one is much larger and persisting much longer, with higher levels of neurotoxins bringing severe consequences for the Pacific seafood industry, coastal tourism and marine ecosystems. Dan Ayres, coastal shellfish manager for theWashington Department of Fish and Wildlife, said the area now closed to crab fishing includes more than half the state's 253-kilometrelong coast, and likely will bring a premature end to this year's crab season.
"We think it's just sitting and lingering out there," said Anthony Odell, a University of Washington research analyst who is part of the U.S.'s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association-led team surveying the harmful algae bloom, which was first detected in May. "It's farther offshore, but it's still there." The survey data should provide a clearer picture of what is causing the bloom which is brownish in colour, unlike the blue and green algae found in polluted freshwater lakes. Marine detectives already have a suspect: a large patch of water running as much as 3 C warmer than normal in the northeast Pacific Ocean, nick-
named "the blob." "The question on everyone's mind is whether this is related to global climate change. The simple answer is that it could be, but at this point it's hard to separate the variations in these cycles," said Donald Boesch, professor of marine science at the University of Maryland who is not involved in the survey. "Maybe the cycles are more extreme in the changing climate." A toxic algae bloom in the Pacific Ocean stretching from California north to B.C. might be the largest ever detected off the West Coast, according to scientists in California. (NOAA) "There's no question that we're seeing more algal blooms more often, in more
places, when they do occur, they're lasting longer and often over greater geographical areas. We're seeing more events than documented decades ago," said Pat Glibert, professor at Horn Point Laboratory, University of Maryland Center for environmental Science. Odell recently completed the first leg of the survey, mostly in California waters. On Wednesday, researchers plan to continue monitoring the sea between Newport, Oregon, and Seattle. The vessel will then go to Vancouver Island, wrapping up in early September. Another research
ship is taking samples off Alaska. The brownish bloom was particularly thick off the coast of Santa Barbara, California, and Odell said it was unusually dominated by one type of algae called Pseudo-nitzschia, which can produce the neurotoxin domoic acid. "It's an indication of an imbalance," said Vera Trainer, a research oceanographer with the Northwest Fisheries Science Center in Seattle. "Too much of any one thing is not healthy for anybody to eat." Trainer said this bloom is the worst she's seen in 20 years
of studying them. Harmful algal blooms have usually been limited to one area of the ocean or another, and have disappeared after a few weeks. This one has grown for months, waxing and waning but never going away. "It's been incredibly thick, almost all the same organism. Looks like a layer of hay," said Raphael Kudela, a professor of ocean sciences at the University of California, Santa Cruz. The current bloom also involves some of the highest concentrations of domoic acid yet observed in Monterey Bay and other areas of the West Coast.

BCF trying to 'drive itself out of business FROM PAGE 6 Before long, you’d have a restaurant open one day a week trying to sell a bowl of spaghetti for $50, he said. By cutting services and raising fares, BC Ferries has done just that. “If you look at what BCF is
doing on the North Coast, it looks like a company trying to drive itself out of business.” Cullen was highly critical of both the federal and provincial governments for their philosophy of governing. “They see government as
the problem, not the solution,” he said. In the provincial case, he was alluding to the 2002 decision to separate BC Ferries from government control, greatly reducing the accountability of the Ferry corporation. Recalling the
time when public education was being created, Cullen said the current federal Conservatives and the provincial Liberals would have argued that “government should not be in the role of educating or caring for our kids.”

The Life of Edyth Mabel Plommer This is Kelly Harrison’s awardwinning essay for the Eva Mack Heritage Scholarship. This award is in recognition of Eva Mack for over 30 yrs of service to the District and to celebrate her unwavering commitment to the research and recording of our community’s history. The award is handed out to a grade 12 student. They have to do an assignment or project on Bella Coola history. Like a biography of a community member, history on its early settlers or an idea of their own but about Bella Coola. My Great Grandmother Mabel Plommer was a
school teacher in Bella Coola for a number of years. Mabel Plommer, who her family nicknamed “Mabs,” was born in Vancouver British Columbia on December 18, 1908. Mabel had two siblings, a brother named Bill and a sister named Connie. Mabel got her first job working with children when she was 16, looking after children at their neighbourhood playground in Vancouver. Mabel decided that she loved working with children, and she would later get her teachers training at the University of British Columbia. Her first teaching job was
at Read Island in a one room school. Mabel came to Bella Coola to teach in 1928 in another one room school. She taught in Bella Coola for a year then married Odin Conrad Pedersen. Odin was born in Bella Coola on Sept 11, 1898. He lived in Bella Coola all of his life, and joined the military when he was just 17 to go fight for the allies in WWI. Mabel and Odin bought property in Bella Coola, the exact property my parents live on now. Mabel could not teach anymore because the law did not allow women to teach after they were married. Instead

She was the oldest child of four and was followed by her brother Floyd and sisters Janet and Dale. oyce completed high school in Bella Coola and then left to move to Vancouver to attend Normal School, with plans to return home and teach school as soon as she had received her degree. Before she left Bella Coola she met Frank Gildersleve and, as a result, she ended up staying in Vancouver a short time before returning to marry him in 1949. Soon after they married they started a family and over the following seven years Joyce gave birth to Barry, Jill, Debbie, Karen, and Megan. When not providing amazing care for her family, Joyce was unusually active in the community, always visiting others in need and volunteering for agencies such as the Canadian Red Cross. When her children were grown she continued to decorate beautiful cakes for weddings and other special occasions. In addition she owned her own specialty gift shop, where she sold beautiful Aboriginal jewellry and delightful fishing related t-shirts – she also picked and sold pine mushrooms, and operated a successful Bed and Breakfast. Later on she worked for several local businesses / business owners including Barb and Roy Schubert, Shop Easy Hagensborg Mercantile, and Douglas Pelton, Attorney. Over the years Joyce lovingly and graciously embraced each new arrival into the family including grandchildren Casey, Luke, Nathan, Michael, Corbett, Amy, Clark, Jolene, Matthew, Nicholas, Jessica, and Carl. As time passed, they were joined by great grandchildren Danica, Dominic, Paige, Quinn, Cayden, Bryce, Rowan, and Allie. In retirement Joyce continued to enjoy long walks in the woods, visits with her multitude of fabulous friends including Joyce, Verna, and Carol, baseball and basketball games on TV, and gardening. During her last few years in Bella Coola she received much support from valley residents and often mentioned the loving attention and care provided by her amazing niece Denise, and friends Cindy and Priscilla, in particular. About five years ago she moved to a beautiful care home in Surrey to be close to her children while receiving the extended medical services she required. Those who knew her will remember her ready smile and laugh, her zany sense of humour, her many, many talents including hosting superb dinner parties that included delicious and inspired fruit and berry concoctions (that may have been brewed in her little cupboard under the stairs), her love of music and dancing, trips to the Bella Coola Wharf (where she would often go in the evening in hopes of being “taken” by an alien spaceship), and other wonderful traits too great to mention. In addition to being extraordinarily supportive and fiercely loyal, she was the just the best Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Sister, and Aunt a person could ever want. Although we know that she will always be close in some form, we will miss her madly.
the men went fishing in Rivers Inlet and the women stayed home and took care of the farm and the children. They lived in a small cabin on the farm and Odin kept adding onto it. Their first child Joan Maureen Pedersen (my Grandmother) was born in 1930. Their farm was quite small until Mabel’s father gave them a cow. Mabel spent her days milking the cow, picking raspberries, looking after the children and occasionally she would go to Vancouver to see her parents. She took the steam boat to Vancouver because the only other way out of the valley was by trail. After Maureen was born Mabel’s parents paid for her ticket on the steam boat so she could bring Maureen to Vancouver to see her grandparents. Mabel’s Father was a chartered accountant. Ever since she was a young girl he taught her to save half of her pay check and spend the other half. This turned out to be her philosophy for the rest of her life. One of the first stories about Mabel was when she was Just a young girl. Back then you had to pass a government exam in grade 8 to be able to move on to grade nine. When Mabel’s Brother Bill passed the exam their parents rewarded him by buying him a bike, this was a large purchase at the time. So when Mabel passed the exam she wondered what she would get as a reward. When Mabel’s parents got the news her mother told her she would take her to the store and she could buy a bottle of ketchup, because Mabel loved ketchup. This wasn’t the reward she had expected but a good one none the less. One of the only things Mabel liked as much as working with children was hiking and the outdoors. When
Mabel traveling the world Maureen grew older, Mabel along with her friend Martha Rosten, Martha’s daughter Margaret Rosten (Brekke) and Mabel’s children Maureen and Duane embarked on a trip to the Precipice. They were to meet Mabel’s sister Connie and her friend who were coming to Bella Coola from Williams lake. Connie and her friend would ride the mail truck to Kleena Kleene then walk from there to meet Mabel and company in Precipice. Mabel, Martha and the children rode the mail truck to Raspberry Flats and from there they would start walking to Atnarko. On their way they met some fisheries officers on horses, the officers told Mabel that the children should not be walking
so they gave them a horse to take on their journey up the Sugar Camp Trail. When they got to Precipice Connie was very surprised to see them and they all walked back together down the Zig Zag Trail. Later on in Mabel`s life the laws had changed. She could now teach again so she spent a year substituting in Bella Coola before going back to UBC to get her degree in teaching. After that she gained a permanent job at Sir Alexander Mackenzie School in Bella Coola where she taught for many years until she retired in 1970. Mabel later embarked on another journey to the Rainbow Mountains. Mabel, along with friends Peggy and
Bert Mathews and their daughter Jean, Bill, Connie and Maureen, planned a trip to the Rainbow’s. They left Bella Coola on July 9th 1955, Mable`s daughter Maureen was also a teacher at that time. Connie, Mabel and Peggy took the Jeep up the hill and the rest of the group rode horses. They brought along with them on their two week trip seven horses, three pack horses and limited amounts of supplies. Mabel wrote a diary of the entire trip. Mabel writes that on their trip they saw a lot of wildlife including an albino moose which was quite the sight. By the end of the trip they were running low on food, dinner was rice and breakfast was Campbell’s chicken noodle soup. At the end Mabel writes, “Hope you can read this and re-live our trip. Maureen enjoyed reading and listening. She hadn’t realized we were so long in Paradise Valley! – Love Mabs.” When Mabel retired she traveled all around the world with her sister Connie. was very active in her retired years. She spent most of her time looking after the senior’s center on the lot where the Co-op is now as secretary. After her husband passed away in 1977 Mabel decided she would downgrade to a smaller lot, so she switched houses with my Dad (Maureen`s first son Stuart).
