Yourbrook seeking partnerships to keep benefits on island ENERGY from Page 1 Yourbook’s core team, Dan Abbott, Clyde Greenough, Alden Bateham and Laird Bateham, will launch the device as early as Februrary, once they’re confident the weather will not expose the scale-model prototype to any unnecessary risks. Until now, the team has been winding the turbine manually. “It’s generating power,” Ms. Dixon says. “it’s doing what we predicted it would do. Throwing it in the water will give us the real data we need: how much energy and potential electricity is in those waters.” Yourbrook will conduct its field trials in the Jusktatla Narrows on a floating platform. They say a DFO review for this stage of the project used underwater video footage showing a scoured rock and boulder substrate in the area, adding the DFO also determined that the equipment and activities will have little or no impact on marine species or the environment. Once the data is gathered and analyzed, the team can then use the parameters to build a full-size model.

“There’s still a lot of work to do, but we’re on our way,” inventor Laird Bateman says. “There doesn’t appear to be any show stoppers.” Yourbrook is confident the tidal energy device can replace a large portion of the diesel-generated energy on islands with the ultimate goal of displacing the diesel generators completely. They’re also hoping to connect with local investors and forge new partnerships to keep the benefits of the invention on-island. Because the device’s design

Council Briefs Queen Charlotte

Quarterly Police Report Sgt. Hromadnik presented the village council with the quarterly policing report last week. There were 215 call for service in the quarter from July to the end of September. The total of calls were up from the last quarter by only 14. The small increase of call volume was credited to the busy summer months. The local RCMP detachment found that many of the calls coming in were regarding the Revenue Canada phone scam. There were five marijuana related seizures that did not result in any charges laid. A total of 16 alcohol related offences were also documented. The offences ranged from being intoxicated in a public place to consuming liquor in public. “Over all the summer months were very good to the communities on the island,” Sgt. Hromadnik said.

Venue change In anticipation of a large turnout, Village council has passed a motion to change the venue of the Dec. 7 regular meeting, during which the new Public Places bylaw will be discussed. There will not be a reading of a finalized bylaw at the meeting, but an opportunity for the community to give feedback on the proposed bylaw.

Hooterville pleas Several members of the public sat in at the regular council meeting last week urging local officials to write a letter to the province opposing the Hooterville evictions. However, Mayor Martin told the crowd once again the situation is outside of the jurisdiction of the Village. Councilor Decembrini said that the Village can not support something the province has deemed illegal. The Village also has concerns that if they give support to the residents that others who have been evicted will return to Hooterville. The Village declined offering the support that was requested.

Luck and location save structure from blaze By Stacey Marple Haida Gwaii Observer The timing and location of a house fire played a big factor in preventing its complete destruction in Queen Charlotte Nov. 15 The blaze broke out in a mobile home directly behind the Queen Charlotte Fire Department. At the time there were two fire fighters inside the department installing drywall, who had the fire brought to their attention from a concerned neighbour who saw

a car in the parking lot and thought to enquire within the fire hall, rather than call in for help. The two firefighters attended the scene and extinguished fire within minutes. “If we had just been called [over the phone] it could have been a different situation. Fortunately there were two of us who happened to be working in the fire hall,” village councillor and volunteer firefighter, Richard Decembrini explained to council during their regular meeting.

“On average a trailer will burn down with in 11 minutes.” With the quick response time and proximity of the fire, members in the hall and the five other members of the fire fighting department who responded, the blaze was extinguished in record time. The loss of property was also kept to a minimum, Decembrini said. Mayor Greg Martin voiced his gratitude for the quick actions of the fire department. “Congratulations to the fire department,” he said.

Thrift shop to get much-needed expansion By Evelyn von Almassy Haida Gwaii Observer

The Charlotte Thrift Shop in the village of Queen Charlotte is getting ready for a much-needed expansion, with construction to begin this coming spring. Heather George, long time volunteer, secretary and treasurer, has applied to Gwaii Trust for funding under the Major Infrastructure 50/50 contribution program. The planned addition is part of an overall improvement plan of the historic building; five years ago $4,000 was invested in interior renovations. The goal for the society is to have $60,000 in funding secured by the end of the year in order to receive matching funds from Gwaii Trust. After five years of saving, they now have raised almost $54,000 towards that goal. At the latest swap’n shop in Charlotte, they sold some high-end items that were donated, held a loonie auction and a bake sale, generating $1,000. The non-profit society is not affiliated with any other organization or individual; the goal of the society is to keep the historic building open. It is at present a small space, crammed with items for sale, attracting shoppers from all islands communities. Although the thrift shop is not a heritage building, as there have been a

number of changes to it over the years, but it definitely has history to it. It used to be the one-room schoolhouse in Queen Charlotte before the other schools were built. In the 1970s it was re-purposed as a thrift shop. In 1995, the building was moved its location beside Eagle Cabs to its present site behind the legion. The society’s plans are to remove the front entry, and to extend the main floor space, and get that enclosed, mudded and wired for electricity. They want to remove the deck that is there now, and to build a smaller deck,

which will extend into the parking lot. They are hoping for volunteers to help with some of the finishing work to reduce the costs of the project. “We are waiting for a quote from a contractor, and with that quote, we will be more able to plan. We hope to have it by the end of November.” Ms. George said. The thrift shop itself has supported and continues to support other organizations. This year will see them donating to all the islands’ communities for the Christmas Hampers, the north and south end food banks, the Masset Transition House, the Queen Charlotte Teen Centre, and a monthly donation to the Mental Health and Addictions Adult Club House in Charlotte. They also plan to extend their donations to all the schools’ food programs. “People are so generous in donating their stuff,” Ms. George said. The society also collects lifejackets for the Charlotte dock, collects soccer shirts and shoes for the island soccer league, as well as bike helmets for a community member to give away in Mexico. As Alissa MacMullen, the grant writer for MIEDS who is familiar with the society’s fundraising efforts says, “They are a non-profit organization which helps out other non-profits.”

Annual Expression Session draws more than 200 By Chris Ashurst Special to the Observer

The North Beach Surf Shop’s Seventh Annual Expression Session saw a weekend full of fun Nov. 13-14. Close to 60 people came to the Art Show held Friday night. Saturday saw over 200 excited people gathered at the mouth of the Hiellen River to surf and spectate. Most people stayed on shore while at least 80 daring souls took their turn at the surf. Saturday started out with the AdoptA-Grom, where experienced surfers took younger surfers under their wing for surf lessons. The day’s swells were spectacular, with gorgeous higher waves rolling in all day long. Around noon, as the tide filled in and the surf jacked up, dozens of surfers caught amazing waves until darkness set in. The Mount Moresby Adventure Camp had a fundraiser tent set up... coffee, lunch, snacks, and a big fire to warm the blood of both the surfers and those on the beach that chilly day. North Beach Surf Shop organizers Mike McQuade and Lucy Neville suited all the surfers they could up with gear, surfing instruction, and stoke.

Birds and Bees’ Wax exhibition enters final week By Evelyn von Almassy Haida Gwaii Observer The Birds and Bees’ Wax art show is still up at Queen B’s. The creator of the many encaustic and watercolour paintings, Judy Hilgemann, attended the opening on Nov. 6, when about 50 people gathered to see this prolific artist who has won many awards for her work. Ms. Hilgemann enjoys wild and remote landscapes, and has lived on the west coast of B.C. for most of her life. She studied art at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, studied graphic design at the University of David Thompson, and received a B.A. in Education at the University of Toronto. But this art show had a twist to it. The little red circle buttons that meant a painting had been sold, were going up fast and furiously. If the item that you wanted was already sold, you could order another just like it; or at least as much like it as an artist

could create. The work would be painted and then mailed out. Ms. Hilgemann works in water colours, acyrilic, oil, and encaustic. Most of her work at the show is in the encaustic method, which is painting with the use of wax, which has its roots in ancient Egyptian times. There are also watercolours and line drawings at the show. Her smallest pieces were very popular with the crowd. As the title of the show suggests, many of the subjects in the works are of our favourite birds. There were a number of ancient murrelets, king fishers, puffins, owls, ravens and many more, along with eggs in their nests. The show will be up until the end of November. Anyone can place an order for any of the displayed pieces until Nov. 30. Let the staff at Queen B’s know which piece you would like (each piece has a number). Visit Ms. Hilgemann’s website at www.judyhilgemann.com.

Years Ago

Nov. 18, 2010 It has been twenty-five years since the epoch-changing blockade at Lyell Island. Seventytwo people were arrested at the blockade. A helicopter was rented to take the elders down to the protest camp which young people had set up to block access to new cutting areas. The elders were the first to be arrested by the 25 RCMP members, two of whom were Haida themselves.

Nov. 24, 2005 Bad feelings at the municipal ballot-box spilled over into criminal activity in Port Clements, according to the RCMP. A 33-year-old Port Clements man was found in Gerry Johnson’s house, on Saturday, Nov. 19. Mr. Johnson, who earlier in the evening had been defeated as a Port Councillor, said he had heard a man screaming and yelling from an adjacent room. He was saying things like “I hope you choke on your pay cheque.”

Nov. 16, 1995 The North Coast Economic Development Corp. contravened its agreement with the federal government by lending money to businesses in which board members and employees had an interest, according to an audit done for the federal government. A copy of the audit was obtained by the Observer under the Access to Information Act.

Nov. 21, 1985 Mayor David Penna vowed to make the proposed airport near the Delkatla Sanctuary his first priority, as 314 votes for Mr. Penna out of 475 votes, gave him a majority, as he returned as mayor. M a rg o H e a r n e came second with 85 votes, while the former mayor G ordon Feyer received 76 votes. Mr. Penna called the airport the king-pin for Masset, on which a great many other economic plans would depend.

Editorial

Province unfairly avoiding responsibility in Hooterville fracas Another week, another Queen Charlotte council meeting and another strong showing from the supporters of Hooterville. On one side, citizens are demanding support. On the other, elected council is refusing. Very little is moving forward, as expected. When the Observer recently picked up the coverage of this decades-old issue again, we came out in support of the dwindling number of residents still clinging to their Hooterville homes. Our editorial position hasn’t changed. It might appear we don’t appreciate the historical context of this issue. The editor, after all, has lived here only one year but that may be what’s freeing this paper’s position from historical prejudice. Issues of crime, density and squalor simply don’t factor into the current

matter of the government failing its people, but it’s not simply a local government issue. Queen Charlotte Mayor Greg Martin said recently “this should be the province’s headache, not ours.” And he’s right. When the residents were issued trespass notices it came after a long process where the Ministry of Forests and Lands’ district manager, Leonard Munt, says he scrutinized provincial framework to find any option that might allow the residents to keep their homes. And that he did. His tools were limited to what’s on the book. He is but the latest in a line of managers handling the Hooterville file, but it’s time the province—the policy makers of the ministry itself—step up and create an exemption of policy people here can work with.

Currently, the only provision on the books necessitates all residents prove their situation as one of dire poverty—heaven forbid these people have the faculties to keep their heads above water. In a letter to the editor this week a reader makes the point: “For over 50 years, persons with few monetary resources used their creativity to build homes that suited them, rather than placing a burden on society to take care of their needs.” Yet that is the only option the province is proposing. Welfare, subsidized housing and institutional poverty looks better on the books than a unique solution to a unique problem. The village could be doing more to support the residents of Hooterville, we agree. But let’s also not forget the orders are coming from Victoria.

They had just come from Queen Charlotte City but took us all the way back and introduced us to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. We would like to express our sincere thanks to Steve and Tommy who were so humble about what they were doing despite the extra 36 mile round trip they did for us. We would also like to thank the policeman who took care of us and found the car hire company office in QCC. The car hire company then helped us by transporting us to the ferry, and someone else from the company met us on the other side so we wouldn’t have to make an eight mile walk back to the hotel. Such lovely people who were only interested in our well-being and not the state of the car. Our heartfelt thanks go out to all these kind people. Sincerely, Pat Acock, Martin Rickard England and Judith Jones Gold Bar, Washington.

Hospital totem pole deserving of its recognition Dear Editor, I am writing to express my gratitude to the Haida Gwaii Museum for honouring the totem

pole that once graced the front of the Hospital in Queen Charlotte. When I moved to Haida Gwaii in 2000, I was welcomed to my place of work by this pole, a striking front pole for the hospital. It has seen many thousands through the hospital doors, a sentinel and guardian who has witnessed joy and heartache, sickness and health. As our current facility is nearing its final days and its replacement looms above it, it warmed my heart to learn that it was going to be preserved and honoured in the permanent collection of the Museum. I am embarrassed to learn of this pole only recently when it was being taken down from its perch at the from of the hospital. I am learning of Edmund Calder only now, the carver from Masset who created the pole at a time between the old and modern masters. This is an important piece, carved and erected before Bill Reid and the renaissance in Haida art. Haawa to Nika and the team at the Museum behind the show highlighting the history of this pole and the carver behind it. Please go and visit this special totem. Sincerely, Tracy Morton MD Queen Charlotte

Introducing our new chief operating officer By errol winter Executive director After a thorough, cross-Canada search for a chief operating officer, the Gwaii Trust found the ideal candidate right here at home. Many of you already know Carla Lutner, who has worked for Northern Savings Credit Union for the past 15 years, and is incredibly excited to be taking on this new job with the Gwaii Trust. She has held virtually every position in the Queen Charlotte branch and has been the branch manager since 2013. She also brings experience as a trustee on the islands school board and on the Community Futures board – positions that have given her a lot of insight into the unique culture of Haida Gwaii, how all-island organizations work, and what kind of service and funding gaps exist here. Like many islanders, Carla ended up on Haida Gwaii after what was supposed to be a short visit. She came to the islands 16 years ago to see her mother and stepfather, who were living in Queen Charlotte. “I came for a visit, and I ended up loving it here,” she says. After working at a variety of casual jobs, she found a permanent position at the credit union. And shortly after moving here, she met her husband, Rick McDiarmid, who grew up here and now works as a self-employed fisheries technician. They live in Miller Creek with their two boys, who are 14 and 11. The whole family is passionate about fishing, hunting and living off the land as much as possible. They have a big garden and chickens, and gather mushrooms and go out crabbing whenever they can. Carla hadn’t been looking for a new job, but the ad for a chief operating officer caught her eye because she’s always had a positive impression of the Gwaii Trust and had even been contemplating the possibility of applying to be a board member. “Once I looked at the position, I thought it would be a good fit with what I had been doing,” she says. “I’ve always been interested in community improvement – and there’s so much opportunity with the Gwaii Trust to make a difference.” Carla’s appreciation of the Gwaii Trust was deepened during her thee years on the school board. Attending off-island conferences with trustees from around BC, she learned how many schools struggle to find funding for healthy food, field trips and playground equipment – things the Gwaii Trust has been able to help with here. She’s also learned a lot about community needs and the depth of volunteer commitment through her involvement with the credit union’s small-scale grant program, which has contributed to vital local groups like the Haida Gwaii Higher Education Society and the Laskeek Bay Conservation Society. Her new position starts Dec. 1, but Carla has already attended the Trust’s strategic planning session two weeks ago in Sandspit, where she learned first-hand how the board makes decisions by consensus – meaning that all board members, not just a majority, must agree with a decision before it gets approved. She plans to work out of both Gwaii Trust offices, in Old Massett and Skidegate, and says islanders can expect to see a lot of her. Welcome, Carla! The Gwaii Trust update is a collaborative promotional venture by the Gwaii Trust Society and the Haida Gwaii Observer.

Letters to the Editor ... continued from page 7 “Hooterville residents have been ordered to leave their homes, which are to be destroyed by the province. The houses are on crown land, and the province will no longer grant licences of occupation, as it once did. As two former residents of Hooterville, we find it deplorable that the Queen Charlotte village council is not supporting members of its own community. “Before incorporation, many voters feared that village lifestyle would be curtailed by over-regulatioin. We had an informal live and let-live policy that worked for decades. “Hooterville is one example. For over 50 years, persons with few monetary resources used their creativity to build homes that suited them, rather than placing a burden on society to take care of their needs. Queen Charlotte had no homeless people. While municipalities all over the world are trying to house their homeless, we had a madein-Queen Charlotte solution. in fact, many of today’s upstanding citizens of Queen Charlotte lived in squatters’ shacks all over these islands when they first arrived. “Shouldn’t the council try to structure a village that meets the needs of all its people? Unfortunately, it seems that the net effect of some decisions is destroying the character, tolerance, and charm of what has developed naturally over the years. The council’s apparent indifference to the fate of some of its more vulnerable residents doesn’t match the fervour with which it protests the lack of air-mail service. “We ask that the Queen Charlotte village council urge the province to grant licenses of occupation to the residents of Hooterville and Frog Flats so that they can continue to

Not bullets and bombs Already in Canada there are attacks on Muslims and cries to ban the refugees. Compassion and love are sacrificed to hate and mistrust. It’s racism in France on wings to the rest of the world; horror extended beyond their borders to innocents in every country and every camp. Do you think it coincidence that a passport linking a suicide bomber to the Syrian refugees was left at the scene? Like the guy just forgot to blow it up along with all his other body parts? Terrorism is not bullets and bombs. It is the ruthless and systematic injuring of a society by igniting the darkness already in us, and by setting one citizen against another in the hope that we will destroy ourselves and leave the field open. Or at least be too busy to notice the machine guns tiptoeing in. I’ve heard it said that fear and guilt are the only enemies of humankind. It is not ISIS that needs to be annihilated, but the weakness in our own hearts – our judgments, our prejudices, our persecuted people. Squashing Al Qaeda merely ushered forth a bigger evil in ISIS. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you and there will be no breeding ground in Canada for radical extremists, Muslim or otherwise. Maureen Kerr Surrey

Susan Musgrave signs a copy of her latest book, A Taste of Haida Gwaii - Food Gathering and Feasting at the Edge of the World.

Readers get first taste of Musgrave’s latest

By Stephen Reid Special to the Observer Susan Musgrave delivered a short talk on the genesis of her new work critics are describing as “much more than a cookbook.” The event was held at the Kay Museum last Friday, with complimentary seafood samplers provided by Edi of Kay Bistro. The line up for autographed copies went until

almost 10 p.m. Signed copies may still be purchased at the Kay Museum Gift Shop and in Queen Charlotte at Funk It. During her talk Ms. Musgrave referred to her book as a “food memoir,” which one CBC reporter called “a book replete with recipes, foraging/preserving/storing tips, including hilarious stories and lore of Island characters and places.” Susan has held a

45-year “relationship of love for the people, the forests, and the beaches of Haida Gwaii.” She now lives outside of Masset and between jarring huckleberries, baking her legendary sourdough loaves, or collecting cockles during wash-ups, she manages the Copper Beech House in Masset.

Observer Brzostowski steps down as GM for Willows Golf Course

Haida Gwaii

Friday, November 27, 2015 www.haidagwaiiobserver.com

By Quinn Bender Haida Gwaii Observer This fall Vince Brzostowski will be stepping down from his position as general manager for Willows Golf Course. Mr. Brzostowski will continue running Golf Haida Gwaii which promotes golf on and off the Islands as well as the Haida Gwaii Golf Tour which will begin its second season in the spring of 2016. “Not having to worry about running the Willows Golf Course gives me the time needed to work with some local golf enthusiasts, to work on and keep improving the HGG tour as well as working with both courses to get more youth involved. I will continue promoting Haida Gwaii as ‘Canada’s Unknown golfing destination’,” he said. Mr. Brzostowski says it’s hard to believe it was only a year ago when the Willows Golf Course was going to close down when he took a chance and took over the course. “It was never about money, I knew going in that if things went great, I would probably be breaking even. I first came to

Haida Gwaii because of the golf courses and wasn’t going to sit idly by and see one of the courses close without trying something,” Mr. Brzostowski said. There were many issues when it came to the maintenance of the fairways and greens in Sandspit. “The biggest issue running the course was not living in Sandspit. Because of the ridiculous ferry schedule it was impossible to maintain the course properly in the evenings, which is the prime time to do so,” Mr. Brzostowski said. The 2015 golf season saw the creation of Golf Haida Gwaii, which started the Haida Gwaii Golf Tour and ran on both the Willows and Dixon Entrance Golf Courses. The tour brought out 44 dedicated golfers who took part in the tour at various points. The other big change was the new free youth golf, which will continue into the 2016 season. Golf BC heard about the youth initiative and came to Haida Gwaii and put on the Playground to Fairway program at the elementary schools for no cost. The program put golf clubs in the hands of 247 children on Haida Gwaii. There are a number of indi-

viduals from both courses that are working on putting together more youth programs for the upcoming season. The 2015 season also saw Golf on Haida Gwaii being promoted on a national platform by Golf Canada. All season long it was discussed that a local non-profit needed to be formed to run Willows Golf Course and by the end of the

season the courses’ main volunteer, Bill Quaas was ready to take on such a task. “I can’t think of a better person who is capable and has the dedication to make it work. Bill and his son’s along with Skidegate Inlet Golf Society gave us some of the best greens in the Northwest this year, and I can’t wait to see what comes of the Willows under his

direction,” Mr. Brzostowski said. “Bill has some great ideas and a good group of people working with him, being a non-profit is going to allow them to get the funds and support from the locals’ businesses and volunteers that is needed to make the course a success. I’m more than confident that the best golfing years on Haida Gwaii are ahead of us.”

What more can we do to promote peace, locally and globally of that. Ms. Byberg did not find out about what happened in Paris, until she turned on the TV in her hotel room in Vancouver.

The best and biggest (from my own perspective) Christmas Craft Fair is this coming Saturday, November 28th, at 10 a.m. in the Charlotte Hall, in the Village of Queen Charlotte. The hall will be packed with goodies to help in your Christmas shopping, so bring a big bag. At the same time, a local group of people are having the Yearly Artisan’s Fair in the Visitor Centre. They have a great offering of their varied art, with some new creations. Both fairs sell Haida Gwaii, on-island items for yourself, your friends, and neighbours. Speaking of neighbours, on Sunday, November 29th at 1 p.m. at the Visitor Centre is the H.G.A.C. yearly Annual General Meeting. You are probably one of those many who have attended a Haida Gwaii Arts Council presenta-

tion around the islands. This group of volunteers, make it possible to bring artists of all kinds: dancers, artists, authors, musicians, and they cover a diverse range in all mediums, with something for everyone. If you have ever thought of becoming part of this active group who arrange these exciting offerings, come to the gathering. Everyone is welcome, and I understand that cheese and chocolate will be quenching our appetites. Remember that there will be a need for contributions to the north and south Food Banks, and for the Christmas Hampers that people receive at this time of year. Bruce and Carol Ives (250-559-8344) are the people to contact in Charlotte for signing up for a hamper, and for your donation. A group of people work to put these hampers together each year; you might also want to offer your time.

For my Ukrainian friends, with love—really! Cooking on the Rising Tide by Kris Leach

It was an arduous week for me! And the old saying “what doesn’t kill us, makes us stronger” was like a broken record playing over and over in my head many times this past one. And while I encourage my readers to write with any questions and or concerns pertaining to the recipes/columns I write, it was with some surprise to learn that I had touched a nerve and not a good one with one reader and perhaps others, which is why I am sharing this with you now. When I write, I am thinking of a specific audience. First and foremost my kids, who encourage me by saying I should write a cookbook with all the recipes they have grown up with. And so I do. Secondly my islands’ family, I write with your faces passing by in my mind. Maybe I know you well, and maybe I don’t which makes me realize that if you don’t know me well, you could possibly think that I could write something which would come across the wrong way. This is not nor ever has been my intent. I write about food, that which is joyous to me as food brings people together. I nurture the ones I love and express that love through the art of cooking and I write about the food experiences I am familiar with, no matter what their origins are as they are part of my food culture! The following is a letter sent to me by a reader after reading the column How to Plan and Host a cookie exchange, in which I referred to a Ukrainian gift exchange, where you wrap up gifts, assign everyone a number and put the numbers into a hat. “Hi Kris, I’ve been meaning to congratulate you on your column, you’re obviously having so much fun with it. Unfortunately the reason I am writing to you now is in regards to your last column. When I read through it the first time I just thought “wow how ignorant”- but as time has passed and it’s had time to sink in I do have to say something. Ukrainian? Really...? The reader felt my words were comparable to derogatory statements we currently hear about Muslims, and in the past about First Nations. “If I were you I would do a formal apology and

retraction in your next column,” she continues. “You are in a privileged position to air your thoughts in public, with that comes some responsibility.” It was never my intent to offend anyone, but I have, and for that I am sorry. In honour of Ukraine, here is this week’s recipie. Ukranian Bourbon Balls 2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips – melted ½ c. almond paste – warmed 1c. sour cream Pinch of salt Cream well, set aside. In a separate bowl combine; 8c. chocolate or vanilla wafer crumbs, or graham cracker crumbs 3c. icing sugar Pinch of salt Mix the following into the crumbs:

1 1/2c. melted unsalted butter 2/3 c. cocoa powder- use the good stuff! 1 ½ c. bourbon, I use Makers Mark, distilled in the deep south of the U.S.A.! 2c. pecans – finely chopped. Check to ensure your nuts are fresh, if they’re off they’ll ruin the entire batch! 24-30 oz. Chocolate shot (for rolling the balls in after they’re mixed and shaped) Add the ingredients from the bowl you’ve set aside, to the crumb mixture now, mixing well. Refrigerate until firm. Shape into bite sized balls and roll in chocolate shot. Let them harden in a cool place or refrigerator until ready to serve. These freeze well and will make delightful additions to your cookie tray this Christmas season! May the peace of the bakers’ kitchen be yours this holiday season, enjoy the process and may love infuse all that you bake and undertake for you and your loved ones!

Inspirational Elders at the Skidegate open house Jingles from Skidegate by Rhonda McIsaac Visiting at the Skidegate Open House last week saw me learning as I walked alongside the booths that lined the hall. The booths were informative, helpful, and thoughtfully composed for audience, subject matter, and most had a prize associated with them. As I walked along the information booths I read information on mold renovation applications for those homeowners who are in need of mold removal and renovations, which is an issue in this climate. I picked up my application

for a secure status card. I also got my blood glucose checked and I was excellent according to the practitioner there. I tried saying some Haida words at the Daycare booth. The booth that grabbed my attention the most was the Maintenance department. The summer’s water shortage and the subsequent drainage project and water main leakage projects were shown in great detail. The power of water and erosion were shown with damaged pipes and hours of digging to find suspected leaks in the water lines. Water was an important issue this summer and the lack of it impacted all of Skidegate. After the booths, I entered the social area where community members were treated to a hearty dinner. Greg Williams provided music. All awaited

the draws at the conclusion of the evening. Due to my allergies, I am limited in the foods that I can eat at most community events. I rallied for a bowl of berries to be saved for me from the dessert trays being created behind the bleachers. I walked around saying hello to the family and friends who were seated and enjoying each other’s company. One lady in particular always gets my attention. Bea Harley is a tiny woman with a big spirit. That she always touches my cheek and holds her face to mine was weird when she first did it but it is now endearing. I always make time to greet her. Her eyesight has become less and less in the two years I have known her. She now asks who I am and I reply, “Rhonda. Rob’s Rhonda” and she smiles big and grabs my hands. “Yes, I know. Come

here my dear”. It’s like that if I see her at the Taaw Naay gas bar where she sits and visits and plays the lotto, or at the local restaurants when she’s with her daughters, or at a community event with others flitting about. Bea is an inspiration and a reminder of my kokum who has long since passed. The information that was shared at the Skidegate Open House really showed pride and highlighted the programs and services available. Skidegate is a beautiful community because of people like Bea and the other aunties and naani’s who have treated me so well. To be an inspirational elder should be a life goal for everyone. To have lived a long life, to have seen so much, to experience so much, and to share your knowledge is the greatest gift.
