School District 49 to undertake organizational reviewNICOLA KOROLUKCHAIR, BOARD OF EDUCATION
Commencing in January 2016, the Board will embark on an organi-zational review as a next
phase in developing dis-trict goals and confirming work plan priorities to support student success.
The Board and District Staff have been working with an external con-sultant, Mike McKay, to
identify our “preferred future” and to determine what steps are needed to achieve that vision. As part of that project, it is essential for us to ensure our operational structures are effective and efficient
in support of learners. The Board must also
plan for anticipated dis-trict staff retirements over the next several months and the organi-zational review will help the Board in making new
appointment decisions. The Board has asked Mr. McKay to work with us on the organizational review and to bring a report to the Board by mid-March, 2016. He will be in touch with many people
throughout the district as part of his work.
Thank you in advance for any perspective you may provide to the orga-nizational review and for the work you do every day on behalf of children.

Basketball season is well underway with both the Boys and Girls teams travel-ing to tournaments in recent weeks. The SAMS Girls’ team traveled to Prince
George with a team small in stature but large in heart. They played well, learned a lot and will be in a better place to be competitive in tournaments after
Christmas.The SAMS Boys’
team, meanwhile, traveled to Tumbler Ridge for their tourna-ment where they went undefeated in their four games capturing
the trophy. Their final game saw them beat the much larger Fort Nelson Secondary 63-48 to remain unde-feated and win the tournament.
A big thank you
to coaches and chaperones Lori George (coach), Leanne Harrison (Chaperone), Mike Tallio (coach) and James Mack Sr. (Chaperone) for all
their time and efforts both on this trip and in the many endless volunteer hours of practices and fund-raisers.
Finally a big thank you to Mike Tallio for
jumping in at the last moment to coach the Boys Team.
Next on the plate for teams will be tour-naments (likely zone tournaments) in mid-to-late February.

The Province will no longer sell paper appli-cations for the fall 2016 Limited Entry Hunting draw as of Tuesday, Dec. 15, 2015, Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Steve Thomson announced.
The change is part of the transition to a new online registra-tion service, which the Province will introduce in the spring. The new service will be an effi-cient and convenient way to address the needs of hunters and guide outfitters, and will help the Province ensure the health and sustainability of wild-life populations. The new service is part of government's commit-ment to improve ser-vice delivery for British Columbians that is faster, easier to access and simpler to use.
In July 2013, Thomson committed to launching the new service in spring 2016.
Hunters who have previously purchased paper application forms can use them for either the spring or fall 2016, LEH draws, or submit the unused form for a refund. Application forms bought after Dec. 15, 2015, are good for the
spring 2016, draw only, and are available only from select vendors in B.C. and Service BC.
Limited Entry Hunting authorizations are awarded by lottery, and applications are available to resident First Nations and other British Columbians with a resident hunter number. The lottery is a fair and effective way to limit the number of hunters, and to protect and manage specific species by limiting the number of animals taken.
Hunters and ven-dors who want further information about changes to the LEH application process can: Call 1 877 855-3222, Email: [email protected] or visit online: http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/fw/wildlife/hunt-ing/
Last year, more than 83,000 resident hunters applied for a range of LEH draws, and more than 23,000 authori-zations were issued. From Oct. 22-Dec. 3, 2015, the Province held a public engagement on Reducing Red Tape for British Columbians and received several ideas on improving the hunting licensing process.

PRESS RELEASE
This holiday season, help your children create bright and successful futures with the new $1,200 BC Training and Education Savings Grant.
The Province announced the grant in August to help fami-lies save for their chil-dren's post-secondary education. It helps make sure students have the opportunity
to benefit from British Columbia's strong and growing economy with the skills and training they need to succeed.
More than 42,000 B.C children may be eligible to receive the grant. Parents, grand-parents and loved ones can apply for the grant if they open a Registered Education Savings Plan at a par-ticipating financial institution. Many RESPs do not require
any additional contri-butions.
To be eligible for the $1,200, children must have been born in 2007 or later. Families have three years, or until the day before the child's ninth birthday, to submit an applica-tion for the grant.
More than 4,300 families have applied for the grant since it launched in August. With more financial institutions coming on board, uptake is
expected to grow in the coming months.
It is anticipated that in the next decade, about 80 percent of the job openings in B.C. will require some form of post-secondary edu-cation and training. The grant supports this need and BC's Skills for Jobs Blueprint, a detailed plan that gives students a clear and seamless path from school through to the workplace.
The Government
of British Columbia is working with the Government of Canada and financial institutions to encour-age the financial institutions to offer the grant. More financial institutions will be ready to offer the grant in the coming months.
“The grant is our way of helping par-ents plan, save and kick-start their chil-dren's post-secondary education,” said Mike Bernier, Minister of
Education. “This holi-day season, I encour-age parents, grandpar-ents and family friends to start planning today for their loved ones future.”
The Government of Canada administers the BC Training and Education Savings Grant.With the $1,200 grant and an invest-ment of $50 a month, savings could grow to $12,000 in 13 years (based on a 3.5 percent annual growth rate).
Growth of funds will depend on the amount invested and actual returns.
For more infor-mation on the BC Training and Education Savings Grant, call 1 888 276-3624 or visit: www.gov.bc.ca/BCTESG. For more information on how to open an RESP, visit: www.canlearn.ca. For a list of partici-pating financial insti-tutions, visit: http://ow.ly/Vrnm3

BY SAGE BIRCHWATER
Hagensborg poet, author and home-steader Wayne Padgett, has just self-published his third book The Atnarko Writings, Memoirs and Tales.
This collection of stories and poems of life in the great wilder-ness of the Atnarko Valley offers wonderful insights into Wayne’s back-to-the-land expe-riences four decades ago.
In 1972, Wayne and his wife Sie settled in a remote cabin on 80 acres at the bottom of the Bella Coola Hill. The valley was narrow and they spent 15 years farming with horses and raising their three children, Jessib, Quima and Ramone who were all born there.
Their closest neighbour, Josephine Robson, was an Ulkatcho woman who married white set-tler, George Robson. George passed away before the Padgetts arrived, but Josephine who lived in the cabin next door, remained an inspiration and mentor to them.
That remote back country was populated by a host of colourful characters including Lester Dorsey, Pan Phillips and Stanley Edwards and they are all portrayed in Wayne’s book.
I first met the Padgetts in 1973 when they passed through
Williams Lake promot-ing Wayne’s first book of poetry, Dog Days Poems. They were on a cross-Canada tour to sell the book and explore the country.
A couple years later Wayne came to town again with his second self-published book, Horse’s Nose Poems. The title came from Wayne’s childhood pondering of what a horse’s silky nose might actually feel like.
In the summer of 1978 I visited Wayne and Sie at their homestead along the Atnarko River and was impressed by their use of brush fences to contain their animals and keep wildlife from invading their vegeta-ble gardens, and using pigs to cultivate their land for new garden sites. It inspired me to build brush fences on my own homestead a
hundred miles away in the mountains south of Tatla Lake.
Over the years we kept in touch and this spring Diane Toop of the Station House Gallery surprised me with a copy of Wayne’s new book, The Atnarko Writings.
I found the book inspiring as the author takes you on a journey into his unique world and lets you muse on the moment and savour the experiences he shares.
In one account titled, Anahim Peak, it is minus-30-degrees on the Chilcotin Plateau as Wayne tucks into his bedroll for the night next to a roaring camp-fire. In the morning he discovers wolf tracks around his camp.
“It seemed the wolves had come in and sat with us on the edge of our firelight,”
he writes. “For all we knew they may have watched us sleep. We were too tired to care.”
His style is mostly prose but occasionally takes on a more poetic flair.
His accounts are snippets of another
time and place that can only be imagined now.
The Atnarko Writings is available in Williams Lake at the Station House Gallery, at Nimpo Lake Store, Anahim Lake Trading or Kopas Store in Bella Coola.

PRESS RELEASE
The B.C. govern-ment has unveiled a new $3-million plan to enhance transpor-tation safety along the Highway 16 corridor from Prince Rupert to Prince George.
The plan consists of five actions the government will take to improve access to transportation servic-es along the Highway 16 corridor and enable residents of First Nations commu-nities and municipali-ties to travel safely to and from rural towns and villages along the corridor.
The five point action plan consists of: $1.6 million over two years for transit expansion: These new funds will be avail-able on a cost-shared
basis with local com-munities to extend or enhance BC Transit services to better con-nect communities.
$750,000 over three years for a community transportation grant program to purchase and operate vehicles: These new funds will be available on a cost-shared basis with local communities to support community-based transportation programs operated by First Nations, local governments or non-profit organizations.
$150,000 over three years for a First Nations driver educa-tion program: These new funds will build upon the current driv-er training/education program to increase the number of Class 4 and Class 5 drivers in First Nations com-
munities along the Highway 16 corridor.
$500,000 over two years for high-way infrastructure safety improvements including webcams and transit shelters: These new funds will enable the ministry to increase the num-ber of webcams on the highway and the frequency of photo-graphs taken at these spots. New transit shelters will be built in communities that will be receiving new or expanded transit service.
Collaboration to increase interconnec-tivity of services: The ministry will work to increase coordination of existing transporta-tion services through BC Transit, Northern Health, not for profit organizations and
private service provid-ers including efforts to better synchronize schedules and expand user eligibility criteria.
The ministry has appointed a new ten-person Highway 16 Transportation Advisory Group to oversee implemen-tation of the action plan and ensure that the actions address the input received at the transporta-tion symposium. The advisory group will report to the Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure and will be meeting over the months of January and February to review the specif-ics of the action plan and ensure it is imple-mented consistent with the input the ministry received at a recent transportation
symposium held in Smithers.
Over the next couple of months, the ministry will work with the advisory group to develop a process for local com-munities and organi-zations to apply for all of the new funding. Once this work is complete, the minis-try will reach out to First Nations commu-nities and municipali-ties to let them know how they can apply for the grant funding. By partnering with municipalities, First Nations communities and organizations, the ministry is ensuring they are active par-ticipants with vested interest in selecting the transportation services that best meet local needs.

DR. PAUL MARTIQUET,Medical HealtH Officer
The human body is very efficient at detox-ing when it comes to self-cleansing and protection from chemical damage, but you wouldn’t think that if you looked around at all the claims and prom-ises of what might be termed a detoxing ‘industry’. An exam-ple: “For only $239.82 you will get 90 days’ supply of Detoxifier Capsules and Digestive Cleanser along with our spe-cially blended herbal tea….” Unfortunately, the myriad promises of these detox and cleansing plans are all hype with no proven health benefits.
There are many ways to get your body clean and healthy,
none of which involve a purge, or special pills and liquid diets, and certainly not flooding the colon. These plans and diets are all responding to a supposed need to cleanse the body for a radical reboot to health. The claims are everywhere you look: online (of course), in lifestyle magazines, from celebrities (always knowledge-able about medicine, right?), celebrity doc-tors (Dr Oz) and oth-ers.
On the surface, the idea of ‘cleansing’ may sound appealing especially if you are feeling poorly or have overindulged (over the holidays perhaps) but there is no evi-dence to back this detox concept.
Detoxification used to refer to a medical procedure to rid the body of dangerous poisons (real tox-
ins) including those arising from addic-tions. That meaning has been lost and ‘detox’ now refers to any number of non-traditional diets, treat-ments or products that will ‘eliminate’ so-called toxins from the body. They also offer the benefit of weight loss, in some cases.
Toxins are properly defined as substances that are poisonous to humans and animals at relatively low doses. But toxins have come to mean almost any-thing that will sell a “detoxing” including refined sugar, caffeine, red meat, gluten and various environmen-tal contaminants. Detoxing claims to treat all sorts of ail-ments from pimples to headaches, fatigue to insomnia, depres-sion and even cancer. All these conditions are claimed as ‘evi-
dence’ of toxicity wreaking havoc in the body. Unfortunately, there is no scientific evidence or research that supports any of these claims.
If the goal is to detox your body, don’t waste the money or the time. Nature, it turns out, has already provided all the tools the body needs to do the job itself. Toxins do not build up in the liver, kidneys or colon so there is no need for the latest detox won-der.
In general, the body is entirely capa-ble of cleansing itself and doing so very effi-ciently. The liver is the main organ with this function. It converts dangerous substances into less harmful ones that are then evacu-ated in the urine or stool. The kidneys also filter unwanted compounds, this time
directly into the urine. Unless overwhelmed by a large dose of poi-son, the body can do its own cleansing just fine.
Certain illnesses will affect the ability of the liver and kid-neys to do their jobs, but otherwise, they’re perfectly adapted to the job. There is no evidence that a spe-cial detox diet, fast or enema can improve of the body’s own ability to cleanse itself.
If the idea of detox-ing sounds appealing, there is a way to do so: try ‘clean’ eating that focuses on vegetables, fruits, whole grains and lean protein. In other words, choose whole foods without a lot of processing. Not only is a healthy diet good for the body, it is also more likely to make you feel better and give you more energy, especially when you add in reg-
ular exercise.Dr. Paul Martiquet

Health including Powell River, the Sunshine Coast, Sea-to-Sky, Bella Bella and Bella Coola.

Spiritual ReThink With Pastor Cameron Johnston
Bella Coola Seventh-day Adventist Church
Season’s Greetings, as again over two billion Christians begin to celebrate an obscure birth in the little town of Bethlehem. Why all the fuss over a poor Jewish baby boy born over two thousand years ago?
Historically, this baby grew up to be known as Jesus. Today, worldwide he is the most dominant person to have ever lived on the planet.
C.S. Lewis, an atheist turned Christian said, “Jesus was either the God he claimed to be in human flesh or he is the greatest imposter the world has ever seen.” Which is it?
The life of Jesus perfectly fulfills hundreds of predictions about a coming savior king.
One prophecy specifically pinpointed the actual date of his death at Passover AD 31. Then there were the miracles, lepers healed, the blind see and even the dead raised back to life.
Jesus himself, after his lynching on a cross, came back to life. Hundreds of people saw him alive after his death and Christians believe he is still living today!
The good news and the heart of the Christmas story is that the baby in the manger brings with him the favor of God for everyone willing to receive and accept him.
The birth, life and death of Jesus takes the love of God
and his affection for humans to a whole new level. Now every imperfect, hurting and rebel-lious human can experience the favor with God. This is the good news that Jesus brought that first Christmas.
Peace and joy, come with the person of Jesus real and practi-cal in your life. Consider allow-ing Him a place in your life.

On Nov. 24, 2015, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and the First Nations Health Authority co-hosted a transportation sym-posium in Smithers to engage with First Nations leadership, community members and local government representatives to help identify safe, practi-cal and sustainable transportation options for communities along the Highway 16 cor-ridor.
Over 90 partici-pants attended the forum, which was a big step forward in creating a safer envi-ronment for people living in communities along the nearly 800
km stretch of highway between Prince Rupert and Prince George. The ideas, recommen-dations and feedback from the transporta-tion symposium were used to develop the foundation of the $3-million action plan for the Highway 16 corridor.
Today’s announce-ment builds on the $5.2 million annual investment that the B.C. government makes towards transit services in communi-ties along Highway 16, and is expected to connect communities not currently serviced by local transit service along the corridor.
“We have commit-ted to provide safe, practical and sustain-
able transportation services for communi-ties along the Highway 16 corridor. And today, we are unveiling a five point action plan for safe transporta-tion options along the corridor,” said Todd Stone, Transportation and Infrastructure Minister. “There is no one size fits all approach to address-ing the challenges along the corridor and this action plan provides flexibility for communities to determine how to best apply new funding to meet their specific needs.”
“Following the November 24th trans-portation sympo-sium to engage First Nations and others in
developing solutions for those at risk who travel along Highway 16, I am encouraged to hear of the much needed investment into an improved transportation system and an action plan to ensure that there is improved safety and security for our citizens when trav-elling,” said Shane Gottfriedson, Regional Chief, BC Assembly of First Nations. “As the national lead for murdered and missing Indigenous women and girls, I am heart-ened to hear of this important first step to take action on the safety and transporta-tion for our brothers and sisters of the north.”
