The purpose of Hockey Day in Bella Coola, was to promote healthy active living for all ages, but it was geared mostly for the youth in the Bella Coola Valley. The SAMS Outdoor Education program helped run the BBQ and the proceeds were split between SAMS OE program and the Hockey Rink. What better excuse to get out of the house, into the fresh air after nearly half of meter of snow fell the night before, and go skating.

We really didn’t know if we could pull it off, given the forecast for warm weather and rain but the weather gods must have been smiling, because the cold weather remained for most of the day.

Without Troy Gurr’s bobcat we wouldn’t have been able to clear all the snow, and also thanks to the many volunteers who helped out with the rink. A special thank you to Hugh and Wes who shoveled into the night, or put water on the rink when it was thirsty. Thanks also to the SAMS OE and PE students who contributed with

rink maintenance.We had a great turn out

throughout the day, with approximately 50 or so people at its peak. We had twelve eager participants in the morn-ing hockey clinic and they displayed great motivation and fun during our drills and prac-tice. Participants were awarded prizes for their hard work and dedication.

One of the highlights of the day was the kid’s tournament. Each team had their own jer-seys that were donated by the Squamish Eagles hockey orga-nization. It was really nice to

see all the parents, grandpar-ents and friends cheering the players on.

At the end of the tourna-ment awards were given out to MVP’s and most sportsmanlike players. The kid’s tournament concluded with the friendly skills challenge. Thank you to the two goalies who played in net (Andrew Christensen and Christian Siwallace) Players were able to test their speed, accuracy, shootout skills and aim.

The family skate was quite popular, and we will be extending this portion of the

day next year. The end of the day was quite interesting as freezing rain began to fall. The evening hockey game drew quite a crowd despite the con-ditions. Slush hockey is not to be taken lightly, it is very hard to move the puck, let alone shoot. It was great because it really leveled the playing field.

At one point, we had to clear a two foot by two foot space with a stick to shoot the puck. Garett Newkirk and Gavin Dawson suited up in

SAMS Outdoor Education Program and PE department would like to thank the Forzani Group for the $20,000 grant in sporting and outdoor education equipment. The Outdoor Education Program was the recipient of the grant which received the equipment on the final day of school last year. The school was very fortunate to obtain this equipment as it will support students to further their skills and development and have access to state of the art equipment. Recently I was out at the rink, during a PE class and couldn’t believe we had skates, sticks and pucks for every student. It was like Christmas, opening the boxes of skates, and seeing students that normally wouldn’t have an opportunity to skate or play hockey give it a try. Without the skates and sticks we would have been hard pressed to have Hockey Day in Bella Coola. We would like to thank Scott Barnes, Jeremy Baillie, Marlyn Cherry and Kira Decyk for organizing, labelling and storing the equipment.

THANK YOU!

Dear Editor:

Re: Confusion regarding the FSA's

There is much confusion regard-ing the Foundation Skills Assessment (FSA) which will be administered this February to Grade four and seven stu-dents in public and provincially funded schools. There are many inaccuracies and misinformation regarding FSA's which is contrary to the Ministry of Education guidelines. This letter is written to clarify issues concerning the Foundation Skills Assessment.

The FSA, which is designed and devel-oped by BC class-room teachers based on BC learning out-

comes, helps answer important questions including: Are BC students learning the vital skills they will need later in their schooling? What are the areas of strength and what areas need improvement? Are there any trends in student performance at the School District and Provincial levels?

Although the FSA is an important tool, we cannot discount the invaluable assess-ments that occur in classrooms everyday between our teachers and students.

The main pur-pose of the assess-ment is to help the province, school districts, schools, and School Planning Councils evaluate how well students

are achieving basic skills, and make plans to improve stu-dent achievement. The skills tested are linked to the provin-cial curriculum and the provincial perfor-mance standards.

The FSA is not an optional activity that students or parents can opt into or out of. It is a required educational activity in the same manner as instruction in the Language Arts cur-riculum is required. Page 15 of the FSA "Instructions for Principals and for teachers/invigila-tors" (http://www.bced.20v.bc.ca/assessment/fsal) out-lines which students are included in the FSA. The author-ity for these direc-tions is derived from Ministerial Orders.

The assertion that parents can with-draw their child(ren) from the FSA tests by writing a letter to the school Principal is inaccurate and contrary to the FSA requirements. With limited exceptions, all students in Grades four and seven in B.C. public schools and funded independent schools are required to write the FSA.

For information regarding participa-tion expectations, or if you would like additional informa-tion regarding the FSA, please contact your child's school Principal, or the school board office.

Sincerely,Denise P. Perry, B.Ed., M.A.Superintendent of Schools

Superintendent seeks to clarify purpose of Foundation Skills Assessment BY STEPHEN WAUGH

EMERGENCY PROGRAM COORDINATOR

If you’re looking for me at 10am on Wednesday, January 26, I’ll be under the table. Or perhaps under a counter, a heavy piece of furniture or at least tight against an inside wall of which-ever building I happen to be in. And, I’ll be holding on tight to anything solid.

That describes the interna-tionally-accepted process of ‘Drop, Cover and Hold’ whenev-er a serious earthquake is occur-ring. Emergency Management British Columbia (EMBC), in conjunction with its many agen-cy partners, is holding an earth-quake preparedness exercise on January 26 to increase aware-ness and thus develop resilience against a major earthquake that one day may affect our province.

As we reside within a recog-nized active seismic region, the province is hoping to provide

businesses and individuals with important knowledge with which to prevent loss of life and serious infrastructure damage by provid-ing valuable information aimed at reducing the province’s risks with respect to earthquakes.

On a routine basis the prov-ince experiences numerous earthquakes but most are small enough to remain undetected by the public. All are recorded, however, and scientists are watching for signs of severe seismic activity that might indi-cate that a devastating event is expected. ShakeOut BC is intended to keep earthquake preparedness in the forefront of our minds so we can better withstand the devastating effects that can occur in our region at any time.

To sign-up and learn more about this valuable exercise go to www.shakeoutbc.ca and engage your school, company or fam-ily. See you under the table on January 26.

ShakeOut BC exercise draws area attention


On Tuesday, January 11, 2011, Rivers Inlet Resort, located in the Queen Charlotte Sound, and its director, Richard Shapland, were convicted in British Columbia Provincial court for offences under the Fisheries Act.

Mr. Shapland was fined $15,000, and Rivers Inlet Resort $5,000, for depositing a substance deleteri-ous to fish or fish hab-itat (diesel fuel) into waters frequented by fish.

On October 3, 2008, Environment Canada was notified of a diesel spill origi-nating from Rivers Inlet Resort's above-ground storage tank. A subsequent inspec-tion confirmed that 4,000 litres of diesel was released into the marine environ-ment. An investiga-tion and Environment Canada laboratory analysis revealed a

lack of due diligence by the accused, and a violation under the Fisheries Act for which charges were laid.

Environment Canada enforce-ment officers inves-tigate potential offences under a number of Acts and Regulations includ-ing the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999; the Species at Risk Act (SARA); the pollution prevention provisions of Canada's Fisheries Act; the Migratory Birds Convention Act, 1994; Wild Animal and Plant Protection and Regulation of International and Interprovincial Trade Act/ (WAPPRIITA).

They help ensure that companies, gov-ernment departments and agencies and the general public comply with legislation and regulations that pro-tect Canada's environ-ment.

The Rivers Inlet Resort and its director were fined a total of $20,000 for the diesel spill

Bella Coola flood recovery efforts resumeBY STEPHEN WAUGHEMERGENCY PROGRAM COORDINATOR

Despite the recent inclement weather the recovery efforts to return the Bella Coola creeks to pre-flood condition have resumed in 2011. Crews have returned and damage restora-tion is continuing in the most severely compromised stream systems in the valley.

Specifically, efforts are ongo-ing to restore the stream channels and pre-existing sediment traps in Thorsen, Snootli and Nuklikonnik Creeks. These efforts will allow the commu-nity to continue with efforts to establish management plans for these systems that include oppor-tunities to routinely remove excess bed-load gravels from upstream sections of the creeks in order to prevent sediment deposits in the valu-

able downstream fish habitat areas. Works are ongoing to establish these management plans in cooperation with fisheries interests.

In addition, work is under-way to restore the washed-out section of Hammer Road near Canoe Crossing, close off an undesir-able diversion of the Nusatsum River that threatens Saloompt Road near Mill Pond Creek and to con-tinue with efforts to secure the Burnt Bridge Creek chan-nel from affecting Hwy 20 and threat-ening Nuxalk cultur-ally-historical sites in the area.

Beyond the emergency flood projects, the CCRD continues to explore options for long-range protection of the Hagensborg corridor, the Bella Coola Airport, areas surrounding the Saloompt River and other specific con-cerns not covered by the immediate flood recovery funding.

Flood manage-ment is considered the highest priority for the combined communities and will continue to receive the appropri-ate attention from local emergency management agen-cies.

A man who fell from a fishing ship into frigid seas south of Prince Rupert last week is now assumed dead. Five boats and a helicopter were involved in the search, according to Captain Greg Clark of the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Victoria.

“At about 5:10 pm local time, we received a call from Prince Rupert Coast Guard radio,” said Clark, “which is a mayday relay from a fishing vessel called the Northern Victor, reporting a man overboard.”

The 120-metre vessel was operating near Princess Royal

Island, Clark said. It's not known if weather conditions played a part in the incident.

The search was focused on the shores of several nearby islands and was intended to con-tinue until the entire region has been thoroughly checked. Search crews, includ-ing a Canadian Forces Cormorant helicopter, mounted an “intensive search” through the night without spotting him.

The search resumed Wednesday, but crews “stood down” in the after-noon, said maritime coordinator Troy Haddock. “We went a lot further than the expected sur-vival time,” Haddock said. “The water was extremely frigid and the air is cold.”

Haddock con-firmed the sailor fell from the Seattle-based fish process-ing ship ‘Northern Victor’ into the waters of Fraser Reach, south of Prince Rupert but an air and water search through the night failed to spot him. The ship, which car-ries more than 200 crew members, is registered to Icicle Seafoods Inc., a Seattle-based com-pany.

Sub-Lieutenant Mark Fifield said Wednesday morning a number of coast guard ships and a coast guard heli-copter continued to scour a “condensed search area” about 100 kilometres south of Prince Rupert.

If searchers had anything in their favour, it was that the man was lost in the Fraser Reach inlet, just east of Price Island, not “in the vast open sea,” Fifield said. The man’s identity will not be released until his family is notified.

This incident comes at a time when North Coast MLA Gary Coons and MP Nathan Cullen are calling on Ottawa to be clear about their plans for a replace-ment for the North Coast's primary Search and Rescue

vessel, the Point Henry.

There is a strong concern from cred-ible individuals involved in search and rescue opera-tions in the North Coast that Coast Guard intends to remove the near 70ft vessel, the Point Henry, and replace it with a 47 ft vessel.

“Ottawa must hear the voice and concerns from those living and working in the North and Central Coast,” said Coons. “First they want to automate our lighthouses and now cut the crew and size of the Coast Guard vessel serving our waters. This is not acceptable and will only put peoples' lives at risk. Those in central Canada, three time zones away, need to know that we live and work in coastal communities and we depend on these vital life saving services.”

“The North Coast is well known for its rugged ocean terrain and unpredictable weather,” said Cullen. “Cutting down the response capability of our key Coastguard ship makes no sense and puts lives in jeopardy.”

The Point Henry currently services numerous isolated communities such as Hartley Bay, Kitkatla, Metlakatla, Port Simpson, Kincolith and Stewart. Replacing the Point Henry with a smaller vessel that may not be capable of trans-porting patients safely in treacherous weather conditions could mean putting lives in jeopardy.

“Even Joint Rescue Coordination Centre Coordinators in Victoria, individuals who are paid for their expert marine advice and knowledge are also adamant that the smaller vessel is inadequate for the North Coast Station,” said Coons. “They understand that 'standardizing' the fleet is not appropri-ate and will endanger mariners and those that live on the north coast.”

Missing sailor assumed dead after going overboard near Princess Royal Island

A man missing since early last week is now assumed dead after falling overboard while working on the Northern Victor near Princess Royal Island

Clare Louise RollingApril 2, 1967 ~ December 11, 2010

Clare was born on April 2, 1967 in North Shields, Northumberland, England to Jerry Rolling and Vivienne Rolling (now Penner).

Clare emigrated with her parents and her older sister Sandra, to Canada in the summer of 1968 and lived in the Lower Mainland until her parents separated in 1970. Clare spent the rest of her growing up time in Langley. Her mother taught her to ride horses when she was 12 and her life’s direction was set. Her first horse was Charlie Brown and her stepfather (Howard Penner) built a stable for him and encouraged her to pursue her interest in horses.

She met her good friend Tanya MacDonald when she was 15, when both of them were working at Edgewood Acres-( a facility that raised thoroughbreds for racing). Tanya and her family provided a second home for Clare on many occasions when she returned to the lower Mainland from one or another of her adventures. They continued to support each other in their love of horses - Tanya has been managing a drill team in the Abbottsford area and her family owns horses and sheep and lamas and dogs.

At 17 she became a racing groom and travelled over North America for five years. She first worked on the Vancouver track but then moved on to California, Florida, Kentucky, New Orleans, Louisiana and finally ended up in Toronto. During this phase of her life she started off as a groom and ended up galloping thoroughbreds, during their training. A close friend from this time was Cam-eron Beaudon. At 23 she said goodbye to the race tracks and returned to Langley. She decided to become a commercial pilot and started working in the Fort Pub (Fort Langley) to pay for the training, which she completed successfully. It was here that she met her first husband, John McAdam. They moved to Powell River shortly after their wedding and renovated an old house and Clare grew a large garden. She started a business selling bath bags containing natural herbs grown and found locally.

At 28, in 1995, she and John, and her sister Sandra and her partner at the time (Doug Pederson), decided to look for acreages to-gether. They bought two adjacent parcels in Hagensborg. Clare and John moved to the Bella Coola Valley and started working on their stackwall cabin initially and then their house. Sandra and Doug parted company before they could move here, but Doug came

and started clearing and built a cabin and a workshop. Clare started working at the Hagensborg Store soon after coming to live in Bella Coola and began planning her dream and building it bit by bit. Her marriage ended after about a year and John left but Clare continued to develop her property. She loved the land and the opportunity to live in this spectacular wilderness. She wanted to find a way that she could live here, be self-sufficient, and share her interests and skills with the community.

She met Mike Pigeon in the late 1990’s and they have been together since about 2000. He had moved here from William’s Lake and shared her love of the valley (and its beauti-ful rivers in particular-he is an avid fisherman) and also her love of dogs- at times they have had as many as five dogs. Over the last 15 years she built her house, and cabin, built a barn, developed trails, set hundreds of fence posts often by hand and built and repaired innumerable fences and a number of outbuildings. She met another good friend, Marisa Blewett, in the late 90’s when Marisa needed some help with a stubborn horse. They have been fast friends ever since with Marisa and her husband Mike helping out with many of the projects. Ruth Kaisla, another longstanding friend, entrusted Clare with boarding and looking after her horse through two pregnancies and shared many of the projects with her, not to mention a couple of other horses. Nancy Anderson moved next door and brought a number of horses with her. Clare helped her in many ways to train the horses and fulfill her own dreams. In 2005 she undertook the biggest building project- in conjunction with her friends and riding partners: Ruth and Nancy. An indoor riding arena 74 ft x 180ft was constructed and allowed everyone to ride year round.

Over the years she had bought and borrowed and trained and boarded horses and finally was able to quit her job at the store (about 2003) and devote herself exclusively to running the Rolling Pigeon Ranch. She studied and went back to the Lower Mainland where she worked intensively to obtain her Equine Certified Coaching credentials, that allowed her to teach riding. She taught many people who live here and also those who only passed through, and proved herself to be a very patient and capable, conscientious teacher. She also trained horses, her own and others, she raised two foals from birth. She has taught all ages, mostly giving individual lessons but also arranging workshops and bringing other experts in. Everyone was taught how to look after the horses, how to insist on good ground manners. For those who wanted to advance their training she introduced them to Dressage and Jumping. She did work for the schools, introducing young people to the benefits of interacting with horses, and exposing them to the discipline needed to have and maintain both horses and their living environment. She started doing trail rides and enjoyed meeting people from all walks of life and all over the world and especially being able to share her little piece of paradise with them.

She was able to devote more time to gardening over the last few years. She grew wonderful flowers and an amazing vegetable garden in raised beds using almost exclusively horse manure. She enjoyed the opportunity to participate in the garden tour in 2009 and also show off the art work of her sister (Sandra) and a friend (Theresa Bagshaw).

In 2007 she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She underwent chemo and radiation treatment. While undergoing the radiation treatments she had devised a scheme to make the most of it by taking her friend Nancy and their horses down to the Lower Mainland, where they stayed with her good friend Tanya. They boarded their horses nearby and in between her treatments she went out and took advanced dressage lessons on her horse Tom. She was an inspiration to many of the people she met at that stable.

She put that trial with illness and the medical system and the cities, behind her and threw herself back into her life with her animals and her property with a new perspective and endeavoured to appreciate all she had- a life of her own choosing. However her trials were not over as she battled with severe facial nerve pain over the better part of 2009, and then was diagnosed with a new cancer- lung cancer in May 2010. It was treated very aggressively over the summer and she had a short remission. Then in the fall of 2010 she and Mike had to deal with the realities of the flood and the severe damage it did to their property. Once again she threw herself into the hard work and with the help of many won-derful friends and a few strangers some order was restored. She was especially grateful that the damage to the arena was repaired and she was already beginning to plan to get back to work with her teaching and training when she became ill again and was diagnosed with a recurrance of her cancer. It progressed very quickly at that point and she died at home on the 11 Dec 2010, surrounded by her family and friends.

During the trying time of her last two weeks on earth she showed her courage and character. She laughed, she thought of others before herself and she tried to put her friends and family at ease. She wanted to be in Bella Coola teaching riding. She wanted to live close to nature. She did it through careful planning and hard work. She is an example to us all and will live on through our better moments.

Clare is survived by her life partner Mike Pigeon, mother Vivienne Penner, father Jerry Rolling, sister Sandra Rolling, stepparents Sara Rolling and Howard Penner, and five half-siblings: Chris, Ben, Liz and Abby Rolling, and Lorne Penner.

A joint effort by numerous agencies resulted in an early Christmas for many victims of last fall’s tremendous flood. At the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure office in Williams Lake, Leanna Illinicki and Loreen Russell organized a project that substituted their usual staff gift exchange in favour of buying gifts for flood-affected families.

In addition to the Ministry of Transportation’s generos-ity, other BCGEU employees from various provincial minis-tries including the Corrections Branch, Client Services Branch,Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Forests and Range, Ministry of Agriculture and Lands, and the Integrated Land Management Bureau took part in the project, as did their union.Interior Roads, Dawson Construction, Triton Environmental and Binnie

Associates donated $4,000 to the Flood Relief Bank account to be used for firewood, furnace fuel and hay.Many people purchased specific items that families had indicated their children would appreciate including bikes, hel-mets, skates, board games and clothing.

Leanna loaded two pick-up trucks with the gifts and deliv-ered them to Bella Coola where volunteers used the Mormon Church Hall to organize and distribute them. Employees

at the Williams Lake hospital also sent gifts to the valley via Beeline Courier.Earlier that week Michel Bazille (CEO of the Bella Coola Hospital), and some of the hos-pital staff delivered gift blankets that had been donated to flood affected households, which had been donated by Vancouver Coastal Health employees in Vancouver.

The Bella Coola Flood Restoration Committee was also able to organize two vol-unteer work crews that assisted

local householders in from mid October through November and December. The first group to arrive was a six-person crew from the Mennonite Disaster Service.
