Remembrance Day: brief history of a solemn event Throughout history, millions of soldiers have marched into wars to protect the freedoms of their countries. Remembrance Day is a solemn time to commemorate those soldiers’ achievements and sacrifices and to pay respects to soldiers who died in battle. Remembrance Day was once known as Armistice Day because it marks the signing of the armistice that put an end to the hostilities of World War I. On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of the year, guns fell silent after more than four years of continuous warfare between the Germans and Allied troops. The armistice agreement was signed in a French train carriage at 11 a.m. Later, the carriage where the historic event took place was placed in a specially constructed building to serve as a monument to the defeat of Germany. Although it was moved by German forces and Submitted photo later destroyed during World Legion Members Hank Taggert and Ian Herman present deputy Mayor Barry Pages of Masset with the first poppy of the season to kick off the War II, after that war ended a annual Poppy campaign.

“Based on the findings of our building assessment … this facility does not satisfy several of VIRL’s minimum requirements for a library facility. Several capital upgrades to the building’s architectural, structural, mechanical and electrical systems are required in order to bring this facility up to the required standard,” stated the 2009 report. The report also outlined that a plan had been proposed for undertaking those required upgrades to ensure the most urgent fixes would be completed within two years. The recent meeting saw many residents not wanting to change the location of the Library at all, even though it was not an option presented by VIRL. One possible location is beside the existing library, benefiting from its proximity to downtown, municipal services and sidewalks good for foot traffic. The lack of parking and loss of green space was a worry for those in attendance. The old hospital site was also proposed. It was thought to be large enough to become part of a possible multiplex. The area

is ready to build on and has its own parking lot, which the participants felt was a positive side of the site. With this location out-of the-way and too far for downtown foot traffic, some in attendance thought the area is better suited for an industrial park. The old mess hall/ Driftwood lounge was thought to be a good site for future development and a possibility of a multiplex. Some though a longhouse style building would look good there as well as being close to downtown and already has existing pavement was a plus. It was thought that this site would leave the library to secluded for the public and small children. The site also has no sidewalks and the municipal services and the condition of the site are unknown, making it less desirable. In addition to VIRL’s three proposed sites the public in attendance identified five more possible sites for the library to move to. The old Rec Center site, an empty lot next to Pearl’s restaurant, a private sale of waterfront on Harrison Ave, an unspecified site near Delkatla Bird Sanctuary Club House and

the old pool were all suggested. Mayor Merilees reported he had been working with a self-imposed three-week deadline to acknowledge the Library’s original letter, but expects to receive public input until sometime in December, when council would make a choice of location and present it to VIRL. The staff at the Masset Library has been tasked with keeping track of the votes as people express a preference of a future location. The Village has requested that people write letters, respond on social media and attend the Council meeting dealing with the final decision at a date to be announced.

Visitors to New York’s American Museum of Natural History learn about Haida culture directly from an intern at the Haida Gwaii Museum, guiding the conversation remotely via robot from the Haida Gwaii Museum.

Haida Gwaii Museum enlists robots to guide NY exhibit By Stacey Marple Haida Gwaii Observer The ancient world of Haida Gwaii has officially entered the space age. The Haida Gwaii Museum has partnered with the American Museum of Natural History for a groundbreaking, high-tech program to make the Haida world come alive for people a continent away. With the assistance of a remotely operated robot, patrons of the New

York museum can receive a guided tour of Haida artifacts from someone actually on Haida Gwaii. “We are on this remote archipelago, on the edge of the world as they say. We have to find a way to reach out to other museums in particular,” Haida Gwaii Museum’s Executive Director Scott Marsden said. The system hinges on the use of a remotely operated robot equipped with wheels, a webcam and video display, allowing its Haida Gwaii

operator the freedom to move around the New York museums’ Hall of Northwest Coast Indians exhibit, see visitors face to face and interact in a real-time, conversational environment to better inform and educate visitors on the objects before them, and Haida culture in general. Tests have also been run with a robot at the Haida Gwaii Museum to expose New York visitors to the collection here as well. The Haida Gwaii Museum has been working with their New York counterparts for a few years to assist with the Haida collection that’s been in possession of the American Museum of Natural History now for more than a century. Last year the AMNC contacted the Museum in Skidegate with the idea of animating their Haida collection with a short children’s film developed with the assistance of Haida artists. This then inspired them to push the boundaries and develop something more interactive. “We wanted to have a live feed or interaction,” Mr. Marsden explained. “Essentially we are helping them and they are helping us.” Last year when the project was in its infancy Mr. Marsden walked around the Haida Gwaii Museum with a laptop and a cheap webcam to engage with people in New York via Skype. “The first robot we tried was called double robot, essentially an Ipod on a pole with wheels that move.” The robot then links to another double robot in New York. With the poor internet connection the team could not get the robot to

every part of the museum. “They wanted to see the ocean, they couldn’t believe there was a museum by the ocean,” Mr. Marsden said. The team in Haida Gwaii took turns operating the robot in New York and interacting with the crowds. Raven Leblanc was the first face of the robot in New York as he described the artifacts behind the glass to excited tourists and patrons of the American Natural History Museum. The program is not fully operational at this time, as perfecting the robot and the system will require a little more time. The Wall Street Journal found this project intriguing and were present for a special test run of the program last month. “This has incredible potential for this museum. It will help other museums animate their collections and help us make a connection to them,” Mr. Marsden said. “We need to find a way to make connections with other museums around the world.”

Years Ago

Oct. 28, 2010 Tw e n t y - f i v e years ago the Haida people came together in an unprecedented way, to assert its rights over the land and to protect Lyell Island-Athlii Gwaii from industrial-scale logging. It resulted, a few years later, in the creation of Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve/Haida Heritage Site, protecting the entire area from logging and giving the Haida a co-management position. Gwaii Trust was also created then.

Nov. 3, 2005 North-end hospital plans were due to break ground in the spring of 2006 for the eight-bed, $9.5 million facility. The facility would be paid for the by the Northwest Regional Hospital District and the Village of Masset, and be leased to Northern Health, which would operate it. It was a pilot project in the province, the first in many years, where the government would not directly own a hospital.

Oct. 26, 1995 Bear lover Gerald Hawke returned to his T h i r d Av e n u e home after promising a provincial court judge that he would stay off his neighbours’ properties, not possess any firearms and not feed any animals within five kilometres of the town. Mr. Hawke was known in the community for feeding bears on his front porch, and had been living in a friend’s carving shed. He was ordered to stay away from his home .

Month ##, #### The second public meeting of the Moresby Island Concerned Citizens saw 150 people gathered in the Sandspit Community Hall. Patrick Armstrong, A c t i n g C h a i r, thanked those who have worked so diligently s to support the resolution seeking a balanced decision in the South Moreseby issue. Jack Aspouris reviewed the meeting with John Turner, leader of the Liberal party.

Editorial

Not all of us remember, but all of us can reflect Lest we forget. It’s with no disrespect we say that’s an obscure phrase for many. The last Canadian to serve in an active combat role in the First World War, John Babcock, passed away five years ago. Overnight one of the most significant events of the 20th Century slipped fully into the history books. The number of veterans to serve in the Second World War are declining quickly, and for the family and friends who surround them the act of remembrance is not for the war, but for the this person they love, for the stories they know (or don’t know) and the lingering question of how someone can march through such a hell and come back at all. For sometime now Remembrance Day has been reimagined to include all our veterans, veterans of the global wars but also those modern and even current. It’s with this inclusion that our day of remem-

brance has lost the support of some. To wear a poppy, it’s argued, is to broadcast your support of war itself. At best, it’s a method of giving money for a plastic flower, whereby acknowledging the unnecessary slaughter of many and clearing our conscience for another year. As we go to press the arguments are filtering into the press once again, but we will proudly display a poppy on our front page this week, and on the 11th of November, for our next edition, we will proudly cover the ceremonies across the islands. It’s not because we support the act of war, or subscribe to the simplistic view that honouring an old tradition makes us an accomplice to future conflicts. Fortunately this is still the prevailing view among Canadians. We wear a poppy to steer the conversation away

from rhetoric, away from politics and the politicians themselves. Even if for just one day, and even if elected officials commandeer the microphone during much of it, we remember it’s about the man or the woman whose life our leaders hold in their hands. We display a poppy for every casualty of war, for every act of aggression, for every lie that leads us there, for every missed opportunity of preventing it, and every one of the 364 other days of the year when we politicize important conversations, aggrandizing the topic with speeches of nations and religions, forgetting about the sanctity of every individual life. All of us at the Observer are fortunate to have nothing to remember on Nov. 11, but we certainly have plenty to reflect on, many to thank and far too many to mourn.

Letters to the Editor Keeping all the Hooterville history intact

No, mental health crisis not resolved

Dear Editor, As I was part of the Q.C.S.L.A.P.C. that was involved at one point ,in the past,with this issue, (Hooterville evictions from the Oct. 23 issue) I think there is a couple of pertinent historical facts left out. The lands branch has a letter it received from a legal land owner that outlined some problems with their neighbors, who were squatting with no legal rights. Lands looked at the issue, found that the squatters in question were on an island and the law was such that there was no way to legalize the situation. They needed to evict them. Before that could occur, Lands was told, so the rumor is, to stay away from these particular squatters. The Q.C.S.L.A.P.C. asked Lands if they were not going to do anything about the squatters on islands, how could they justify evicting the squatters not on little islands? A creative Bureaucrat involved came up with the temporary licenses. Community meetings held on the subject found that the community was not too concerned with people squatting, as long as they did not somehow, get rights to the land, or get an economic gain from squatting. The leases were set up to be non-transferable. This was clearly understood by all living there who bothered to come to the meetings. Question for Lands Branch, what happened to the other squatters? Just trying to keep all the history in there.

Dear Editor, I am writing in response to the article, Shortage of Mental Health Workers Resolved (Oct. 23). Lack of service for children and youth is not resolved. I worked last year as the Child and Youth Mental Health Clinician for Ministry of Child and Family Development (MCFD). This position means coverage, coordination, and care planning for children and youth who span eight schools, two hospitals, outreach psychiatry and other programs off island, working with the children and youth’s families, and the clients themselves. During this position I spoke to key people in MCFD regarding my concerns that the islands needs another Clinician at the very least. Many youth were also voicing the need for more services that covered crisis, psycho-education, and prevention. The letters that I have seen from School District 50 and from some doctors to MCFD specifically advocated for more positions. In my opinion from working in this position as a Clinician MCFD needs to hire at least 2 Clinicians; one for each end of the island, as well as 2 life skills workers to help address the mental health needs of our youth. Children and youth are our future and their voices need to be heard, we need more services!! . Sincerely, Traci Murphy

Sincerely, Mike Hennigan Haida Gwaii

Please send your letters to the editor to editor@haidagwaiiobserver.com. We will always give preference to letters submitted by islands residents.

Four days, seven communities, fourteen walkers, and 89 businesses contacted. Our first Haida Gwaii Business Walk was a busy week of conversations up and down the island, collecting information from those who know our economy best. As the week progressed, we saw some encouraging trends, while others highlighted the impact of existing challenges. These informal conversations, guided by five simple questions, are improving local understanding of successes, challenges, and opportunities in Haida Gwaii’s economy. Business Walks provide an informal way for community leaders to get in touch with the pulse of the business community, build relationships over time, and gather the business information needed to support and stimulate the economy. Teams of two or three staff and elected officials visited a number of retail and service based businesses, typically in the downtown or core of each community. More than half of the businesses contacted reported that their business is growing, while a third are steady and 12% are shrinking. Clientele and location were highly cited as their favourite thing about doing business in their community. Common challenges include BC Ferries and employee recruitment and retention. Many respondents felt that increased advertising, population, tourist visitation, training opportunities, and internet improvements could help their businesses thrive. Several businesses expressed interest in receiving more information about the Business Façade Improvement program, MIEDS and Community Futures initiatives, training courses, and other funding programs. This information is interesting, but turning insight into action is the most important part of this process. Short term recommendations include producing a comprehensive island-wide Business Directory, sharing this information with local Councils and Boards, and engaging BC Ferries in ongoing dialogue about service levels, costs, and capacity. Long-term ideas include ongoing collaboration with our communities, annual Business Walks, and even creating a new resident attraction program. The 2015 Business Walks Report is available on the MIEDS website, and we encourage ongoing feedback on the findings and format of this initiative. Thank you to everyone who helped out, and all the businesses that shared their thoughts with us! The Misty Isles Economic Development update is a collaborative promotional venture by the Misty Isles Economic Development Society and the Haida Gwaii Observer.

Haida Inkk Tattoo studio coming soon By Evelyn von Almassy Haida Gwaii Observer After you talk with Gregory N. Williams, you realize that he is a true renaissance man with his varied talents in the arts. Mr. Williams, also known as Kaajuu Gaaya, meaning good singer, and who has the nickname â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gigâ&#x20AC;?, is from the Gakyalls Kligawaay, Skedans Raven clan, and is the first known Haida tattoo artist in more than 100 years. In a short amount of time, lovers of the art form can experience his talents first hands with the opening of his own parlour in the Village of Queen Charlotte, Haida Inkk Tattoo. Long before Mr. Williams found the dream of tattoo artistry, he lived on Hotspring Island (Gandll Kâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;in Gwaayaay) for two years and four months as a Haida Gwaii Watchman 24 years ago, when he found his calling to the artsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;his purpose. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew I liked singing; I knew I liked drawing.â&#x20AC;? Or, as he put it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am a vessel.â&#x20AC;? He learned not only how to play guitar, in order to write an instrumental song that came to him in Gwaii Haanas, but he then also began making guitars. Both Sarah McLachlan and George Leach own but two of his creations. His art extends to audio engineering

who said to me â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Daddy, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never know how many times weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get to look at the moon together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She really loved tattooing; she wanted to be a tattoo artist.â&#x20AC;? Mr. Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tattoos on his arms includes a sprinkling of her ashes. On his left hand is a sun, for his son, Kyrin, designed by Billy Bellis. There will be a few mentors that Mr. Williams will call upon as business grows. Two of them are Bart Willis and Laila Willis Newton, from Austin, Texas. Mr. Willis has been coming up here for 25 years, and understands Northwest Coast art and the form line of native art. (Mr. Willis has tattooed Johnny Depp.) Mr. Williams expects other tattoo artists will come from Japan and New Zealand to experience Haida Gwaii, and his place will be a good home base for them. Once up and running Mr. Williams expects to create one or two tattoos daily, as well as mentoring others in the art. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have done enough tattooing to have the confidence to open up a professional tattoo shop that is in a 100-percent safe environment,â&#x20AC;? he says Students of tattoo practise their craft on pig skin before graduating to human flesh. Mr. Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; teacher, Mark, also made the burgeoning artist tattoo himself, before he inked his first creation on someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a school friend, Mike Fraser, with a depiction of the bottom of the last pole that stood in Skidegate. Before Mr. Williams begins tattooing an individual, he has a consultation with them to establish if they really want a tattoo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they are not really interested, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll talk them out of it.â&#x20AC;? He has all the businessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paper work in order. The company is insured, the Northern Health permit is in place, the business license is on the wall, and the name is approved for the provincial government. There will be a website for the Mr. Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first commissioned business in the future.

as well as traditional carving in silver, copper and gold. But his true dedication is to his family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My main goal is to be a good father and husband. It took me a long time to learn to shut up and listen. Everything else comes from that. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for me to be their friend. Being a father and a husband is important. â&#x20AC;&#x153; Mr. Williams has had many challenges in his life of 43 years. He was born in New Westminster after his mother was medivaced during child birth. It was not expected he would survive, but he did. His younger sister, Karin, passed away a few days after she was born. Growing up, he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always know how to find the right path. He and his wife of 20 years, Susan Ellis, had a daughter, Kaiya who was diagnosed at five years old with a rare form of cancer. She battled cancer for half her life, and passed away at ten years of age. He honours his daughter with a tattoo on his right hand. It is of the Family Crest of the Skedans clan, featuring a moon, and designed by Pat Wesley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It reminds me of my daughter,

Finding comfort in Haida Gwaii’s violent weather Jingles from Skidegate by Rhonda McIsaac The sound of a heavy, thick, and rhythmic rainfall and the thrashing of electrical wires against the house awakened me. As I lay there listening to the torrents of rain I wondered if I would ever get used to the rain here on Haida Gwaii. It is still a wonder to me. I love the atmospheric displays of changing weather patterns and changing seasons.

Dip your fillets into the egg mixture first, letting the excess drip off before you lay it into the bread crumbs to coat all sides. Place the pieces into the pan, but don’t overcrowd them; cooking both sides until golden. Heat your oven to around 200 degrees, placing the fish when cooked on a plate to keep warm while you continue cooking the remainder, keeping in mind that it’s better to not overcook fish! You can add whatever spices to your crumbs; curry is nice with any of these types of fish, but keeping it plain and simple is still my favorite. A pot of good quality rice and some coleslaw or steamed vegetables and a pot of tea rounds out this meal perfectly, and I’ll bet this recipe would do for dog shark as well!
