Minus 15 and blowing snow? No problem! A record 80 people had registered for the 28th Annual Tweedsmuir Ski Race held on Sunday, March 2, and almost 60 braved the elements to participate in the race.
There were four distances to choose from: 3km, 7km, 14km and 21 km.
The 3km loop, designed for the littlest competitors, featured four ‘treasure bins’ to keep spir-its up and whining to a mini-mum (great idea organizers!) Four ‘Rabbits’ (five and under) completed the loop and 21 other skiers who also completed
the 3km joined them.The 7km was also a popu-
lar choice with the majority of skiers, including the SAMS Outdoor Education Class, who completed the loop in good time. Six determined skiers completed the 14km loop, with Donna Ratcliff taking the lead with a time of 1:32:02. She was followed by Kyha Saban with a time of 1:46:08.
Five individuals completed the grueling 21km loop with Alex Boileau taking first place with a time of 1:19:10. Tim deGrace followed him with a time of 1:57:18, and Grant
McCartney was third with a time of 2:01:15. Carl Harstead and Elijah Mecham followed with times of 2:37:33 and 2:48:41 respectively.
A fabulous potluck feast fol-lowed with chili, soup and hot chocolate being consumed in record quantities. The windy weather didn’t allow for a lot of lingering around but mugs were awarded to the following
Alex Boileau: Overall Winner (21km, 19-39Male), Tim deGrace: 2nd place (21km, 17-39yrs Male), Carl Harstad: Fastest (21km, 40+ Male), Donna Ratcliff: Fastest (14km,
40+ Female), Rick Ratcliff: Fastest (14km, 40+ Male), Monica and Marry Tutt: tied for 2nd place (14km, 40+ Female), Lauren Harrison: Fastest (7km, 2-16yr Female), Finn Carlson: Fastest (7km, 6-12yr Male), Katie Koroluk: Fastest (7km, 6-12 Female), Khya Saban: Fastest (14km, 17-39 Female) and Ewan Koroluk: Fastest (3km skier 6-12yr old male).
Ray McIlwain donated a beautiful print and all of the participants names were placed in a draw, with Grant McCartney being the lucky winner. A spe-cial thanks to all of the folks who
helped out with the event, espe-cially Kerry and Alex Boileau for all of their hard work organiz-ing, Dave and Kathy Flegel, who registered all of the skiers on the roadside the morning of the race, and Lisa Nordin and John Butler who did an excellent job timekeeping.
And a huge big thank you to Lyle Enderud and Duane Pederson who have spent countless volunteers hours grooming the ski trails for the x-country skiers. Hope to see everyone out next year for the 29th Annual 2015 Tweedsmuir X-Country Ski Race!
The 28th Annual Tweedsmuir Ski Race attracted almost 60 brave racers!

BC Parks staff were on hand February 27 in the banquet room at the Valley Inn to discuss some of the proj-ects they have been working on this past year, issues they have been addressing, and providing the oppor-tunity for feedback from the community. Design plans were posted for two proj-ects to be completed by the end of the year in South Tweedsmuir Park.
Joan Sawicki, a tireless BC Parks vol-unteer, facilitated the meeting, and began on a personal note, “I really believe that our protected areas in BC are so impor-tant for conservation values, protecting habitat and biodiver-sity, the areas that we recreate in, and what these spaces mean for our local economy,” Sawicki explained.
The informal gathering began with an introduc-tion of the BC Parks Team: Planning Section Head Volker Michelfelder and Area Supervisors Bree Matthewman and Steven Hodgson. Brief presentations were prepared by each team member, complete with beau-tiful pictures of our local area, which gave a rich descrip-tion of each mem-ber’s job.
The personal introductions were a great reminder of the personal com-mitment of our friends, families, and neighbours’ who work for this organi-zation. BC Parks, in collaboration with First Nations, has to achieve a delicate balance of estab-lishing winter and summer recreation, commercial and non-commercial opportunities, while conserving our sensi-tive biological zones.
“The com-munity’s input is essential to the planning process,” said Michelfelder.
“It ensures that the plans reflect the val-ues and interests of the community.”
Some of the many accomplishments for 2013 were included in Bella Coola Area Supervisor’s Steve Hodgson’s presenta-tion. He presented a comprehensive update on projects completed over the last year, beginning with a big thanks to Hans Granander for his work as Project Manager last year, and thanking Kevin Matuga, Rod Krimmer, and Justin Grey for their hard work in rehabilitating the Loop Trail and Stillwater Lake Trail.
The Tote Road has been subject to extensive reha-bilitation since the 2010 flood, and the new Young Creek Bridge is truly an engineering marvel. Suspension bridges were installed on both the Loop Trail and the Stillwater Lake Trail, and Eucott Hotsprings also saw some con-struction work. A pit toilet was installed, as well as a deck for easier access with plans for railings to be completed this year.
These additions should make it easier for elders to access the hotsprings and will make the entire experience more comfortable for all users.
2014 Capital Plans include reopening the Atnarko camp-ground, putting in a new day shelter at Fisheries Pool Campground, replac-
ing the aged Atnarko Ranger Station, and an enhancement project to the Belarko Viewing Platform. Prior to starting this work, BC Parks will be conducting arche-ological assessments with the Nuxalk Nation along the entire corridor.
On the Central Coast, the Hakai Beach Institute students and staff have contributed tremendous time and effort, as well as in-kind donations creating boardwalks, look outs, benches, and continued trail building. The Coastal Guardian Watchmen have been integral in assisting the team
with monitoring the areas, trail work, and identifying areas of concern.
“It’s always amaz-ing when we can get school groups and volunteers to help with construction, and their work has helped to increase safety on the trails, enabling elders and the less able to visit these unique areas,” said Central Coast Area Supervisor Bree Matthewman.
“We’re always open to more sugges-tions, and I hope our presentations have encouraged you to help out and become involved in the proj-ects all along the central coast.”
Following each presentation was a brief Q&A session. Several residents questioned the pro-cess of how BC Parks identifies areas for protection and plan-ning.
BC Parks staff explained that this is a complex process of identifying exist-ing risks to areas as well as existing recreational uses, BC Parks’ priorities and funding abilities, and ensuring that there is a balance of conser-vation and recreation
so that areas can be set up to be sustain-able.
A concerned resi-dent also spoke to the recent legisla-tion being tabled in Parliament that will amend the Parks Act to allow “research and feasi-bility studies” within parks boundaries. Residents feared that this could allow fur-ther development to parks by industry.
Meeting facili-tator (and former Minister) Joan Sawicki encouraged
any concerned resi-dents to write letters to their MLA.
If you would like to know more about any and all of the plans mentioned, they can be viewed at the Parks office and the BC Parks web-page.
The public was encouraged to visit with staff, call, write, or e-mail anytime. Public consultations will be advertised in the paper, and your input is essential to the planning pro-cesses.

PRESS RELEASE
In December 2013, the Central Coast Regional District Board of Directors held a communications workshop with staff and the Northern Development
Initiative Trust’s Director of Communications, to discuss development of a communications and engagement plan.
The Board iden-tified three guid-ing outcomes they wished to achieve in order to more pro-
actively engage with residents, foster an atmosphere of com-munity collaboration and ensure an open and transparent democratic process.
The guiding outcomes include: to increase local knowledge of the Regional District
and its mandated objectives among residents, to increase resident engagement with the Regional District and its ini-tiatives to improve trust between the Regional District and the residents it serves, and to strengthen com-munication and information shar-ing between the
Regional District and the Nuxalk, Heiltsuk and Wuikinuxv First Nations.
At its meet-ing of 13 February 2014, Central Coast Regional District Board of Directors approved and endorsed the region’s first Communications and Engagement Plan; making this
another strategic achievement from the Central Coast Regional District’s 2010 – 2014 Strategic Plan.
The resulting 2014 Communications and Engagement Plan has been designed to provide the Board and staff with a framework and approach to communications
and engagement, with the goal of being more effec-tive when engaging with residents and stakeholders, the Regional District serves.
A copy of the 2014 Communications and Engagement Plan can be found on the CCRD web-site: at www.ccrd-bc.ca
RCMP MEDIA RELEASE
On March 4th 2014, the Bella Coola RCMP received a report of a downed tree that was com-pletely blocking Highway 20, just east of the Fisheries Pool recreation
site, in Tweedsmuir Provincial Park.
A group of indi-viduals felled a tree for firewood, and as this first tree fell, it hit another tree, caus-ing this second tree to fall onto the adja-cent power lines and block Highway 20.
The knocked
down power lines and blocked high-way caused traffic to come to a stand still until BC Hydro crews could arrive to make the power lines safe, remove the tree from the highway and allow traffic to pass.
The highway was closed for approxi-
mately one hour. The downed power
lines and tree on the highway caused a significant threat to public safety and may have caused seri-ous injury or worse. Fortunately, nobody suffered any injuries; the matter is still under investigation.

Dear Editor,
In the February 27 edition of the Coast Mountain News, Hans Grenander observes in his Letter to the Editor, “Johnston Creek also presents one of the few eco-nomic opportuni-ties available to the Wuikinuxw.”
When you think about it, that’s kind of
sad. I started working down there in 1973. Just like here, a lot of wood was harvested and removed over the next 30 years. The provincial govern-ment collected a lot of royalties. The for-est companies took a lot of profits for their shareholders, and they didn’t leave the people who live here much - not even a
ferry service. That’s the sad part.
Those people up North shouldn’t have any illusions about what will happen when the last barrel of bitumen or the last cubic meter of natural gas comes out of the ground.
Sincerely,Russ Hilland

The story of Shred Kelly begins as honestly as their music.
Friends who met through a local jam-night, and bega forming a bond over their love of music and the Great Canadian landscape.
Since their inception, the Fernie, BC based ‘stoke-folk’ band, have garnered themselves sold out shows across Canada, perfor-mances at some of the premier festi-vals, and a growing list of awards and recognition from across the nation.
This journey has already been quite a feat for an independent band nestled deep in the Kootenays, but for the indie-rockers and banjo-lovers that follow the tracks of Shred Kelly - they know this is just the beginning.
Shred Kelly are preparing their
third album, which will be recorded in June 2014 - and there's no doubt that the new mate-rial will again demonstrate their signature clawham-mer banjo riffs, layered ambient synth, powerhouse rock, and sweet vocal harmonies.
While many art-ists may struggle to capture the energy of a live show in the recording studio, for Shred Kelly - that energy doesn't only exist on stage.
It's a part of their craft, and while they may resemble laidback BC ski bums – their music is as high-voltage as it can get, and that translates perfectly onto an album, or a packed dance floor.
Shred Kelly will get you moving on the dance floor. Don’t miss their performances at the Bella Coola Music Festival on July 19 and 20, Shred Kelly will be rocking the stage at the 2014 Bella Coola Music Festival

It’s been two years since local naturalist, historian, and World War II veteran Ron Mayo passed away at the age of 91.
Ron led a rich and varied life. He served with distinction in the British Army, first in the infan-try and then in the survey department. Mayo credits his sur-vival to ‘damn luck.’ As he told CMNews in 2010, “Of the thir-ty guys I joined up with, all local guys from where I grew up, I could only find five of them after the war. I found a couple of their graves when I was walking through Normandy. I was just damn lucky.”
A born natural-ist, Ron took every chance he had to explore whatever environment he found himself in. Even during the war, when he wasn’t drawing maps in the survey department, Ron was off explor-ing the countryside.
He found England too crowded after the war, so he moved to Canada. He ended up in the Okanagan and then Prince George. In 1965 he started coming down to Bella Coola for the steelhead fishing, forming a lifelong
connection with the owners of Stuie Place (then known as the Talchako Lodge). In 1986 he moved down to Stuie and stayed there until he was 80 years old.
Ron devoted all of his time to observing nature and caretak-ing the Stuie prop-erty for Dennis Kuch and Katie Hayhurst. After he passed away in 2012, Joan Sawicki (the Executor of Ron’s estate) worked to fulfill his wishes that his natural his-tory collection be made available to residents of Bella Coola.
“With his exten-sive library of books, slides, film and video of natural his-tory in the Valley, it has been a large task,” explained Sawicki. “However, I know Ron would be pleased that, with the cooperation of our local librarian and the Bella Coola Valley Museum Society, people in the community can now enjoy his life’s work.”
A selection of Ron’s books have been set up as a special collec-tion on a special shelf at the local library; they can be taken out on loan
and some of his plaster casts of ani-mal footprints now hang on the wall of the library above the book collection.
“Any item in the collection can be signed out just like any other library item,” said librarian Linda Chapman. “We are very fortunate that all of this valu-able local informa-tion is now available to the public.”
Thanks to the gen-
erosity of Ron’s fam-ily in England, who wanted their share of the estate donated to the community that Ron loved, a dona-tion was made to BCV Museum Society to enable a contract to convert 10 of Ron’s VHS video tapes to DVDs. The originals will remain the prop-erty of the BCVMS but copies are now available to be taken out on loan from the local library.

Heavy lifters Roger Harris, Chris Nelson, Ernest Tallio, and Vance Snow lower a 400-pound stone carving into its temporary home at the Nuxalk Administration Building. Stone carver Ron Teska, a resident of the Appalachian Mounains of West Virginia, USA, per-sonally delivered the sculpture last summer from his home as a gift to the Nuxalk Nation after an earlier visit to the Valley.
On a follow-up visit last month, he arranged for the carving to be dis-
played at the Nuxalk site. His gift is out of respect for both First Nations and endan-gered species. Teska intends to relocate in Bella Coola because of the environmental destruction caused by fracking for gas in his beloved Appalachians. The limestone obtained for the eagle carv-ing came from a salvaged monetary bank in Cameron, West Virginia.
“The bald eagle, endangered in many places, is revered and protect-ed in Bella Coola. In this carving, I speak as the eagle giv-ing thanks for being allowed to maintain its role in the web of life,” says Teska. “As
the Nuxalk Nation reveres the eagle and other species thriving in their region, I offer the gift of this eagle as one small gesture of thanks for rein-forcing my hope that other endangered species the world over will revive and flourish. This hand carving is in lime-stone salvaged from a bank in Cameron, West Virginia.”
On another note, Chris Nelson, whose Nuxalk responsibili-ties include devel-opment of fledgling aboriginal tourism opportunities, was recently elected as a Director to the Board of Bella Coola Valley Tourism where he will provide a liaison to the Nuxalk Nation.

A8 Coast Mountain News Thursday, March 13, 2014
By ErnEst Hall
“All the world’s a stage” wrote William Shakespeare some five centuries ago, and for generations, for weeks on end at differ-ent times of the year, Bella Coola Valley resi-dents have turned the stage at Lobelco Hall into their own small world. From Japan to Manhattan, from Istanbul to Kansas, Valley women, men, and children of all ages have trod the boards at Lobelco, and at times other venues, turning the space for a brief time into another world for themselves and their audiences.
This past year marked the 50th Anniversary of the Bella Coola Little Theatre Guild – offi-cially formed in 1963 after decades of ear-lier live theatre in the Valley. Since the 1930’s Valley folks have been hamming it up on stage with performanc-es at first produced by the Women’s Institute and the local PTA, events remembered fondly by Maureen Harrison, who recalls going to performances as a schoolgirl when her love of the theatre was instilled. The theatre those days was spearheaded by Reg Edwards, remem-bered by Maureen as “an Englishman who worked with Fisheries”.
Since then, the casts, crews, directors, and producers of more than 100 productions have created a host of worlds on stage: They have set the audi-ence on edge with the super-natural suspense of “The Monkey’s Paw”, and probed the exis-tential questions raised in “Waiting for Godot”. They have examined the dark spaces of the human mind in the “Giocanda Smile”, the greed and guilt of “All My Sons”, and the bleak, destructive social forces that wreak ruin in Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible”, the par-ody of 1950’s American fear of Communism.
They have also sent their audiences into gales of hilarity with farcical comedy includ-ing mistaken identity and gender- swapping,
along with sweeping romantic musical pro-ductions such as “My Fair Lady” and “The Merry Widow”, with highly choreographed dance scenes, elabo-rate stage craft, and home-devised special effects.
Too numerous to name, the Guild has been blessed with hundreds of par-ticipants over its 50 years, including the mechanical/electrical genius who fashioned home-made footlights – still in use decades after their creation, and a backstage light dimming apparatus of metal rods raised and lowered with cords into glass jugs of foul-smelling liquid and panels of sheet metal which, when shaken in a certain way, cre-ated rolling thunder synchronized with the lightening flashing on-stage. Maureen recalls the stagecraft that went into making for faster set changes.
“Nothing is worse for the director,” she says, “than seeing the audience sitting there while the crew is changing the scenery.”
Along with the musicals, dramas, and comedies, the Guild also presented themed gala events – 15 of them in all. These included: An Hawaiian Gala, a Western Gala, a Space Gala (in 1969, the year of the first Moon landing), a Roman Gala, and a Mediterranean Cruise Gala. Other ambitious events with locally written scripts com-memorated the BC/Canada confederation - the Centennial Ball in 1971. Eighteenth-Century seafaring expeditions were cele-brated in 1977 with the Captain Cook Ball. The Guild celebrated its 25th anniversary with a big event in 1988, and the 1994 Norwegian Centennial Pageant commemorated the Valley’s Norwegian settlement of 1894.
Throughout these times, Maureen, who directed 23 of the larger productions between 1969 and 2006, was among the stalwarts in the Guild. She recalls Molly Walker, motor-ing along Highway
20 with a P-A system on her pickup truck announcing upcom-ing performances; and sporting a huge white rabbit costume around town to promote the whimsical comedy “Harvey”. She reminisc-es about the scene at the Ascot racetrack in “My Fair Lady” (1981) with the English ladies in their finery decked out in showy hats each stitched together by hand. Then there was the time in 1971 when the poster advertising the upcoming “Nude with Violin” raised the ire of certain Valley res-idents. She remembers actor Ken Corbould driving down regularly from Stuie for rehears-als of Agatha Christie’s “The Mousetrap” in 1988; and similarly for his part in “Noises Off!” – probably one of the cleverest staging and funniest productions of
the 50 years.A fire in Lobelco
Hall forced the Guild to take its 1974 – 1976 productions to the SAMS school audito-rium. The huge cast of “Annie Get Your Gun” provided a major challenge, but as always, the obstacles were overcome, and the show went on. Renovations to Lobelco reduced the changing-room space, and cast access to “stage right” became choked off, sometimes requiring an actor to engage in a mad footrace back stage in order to re-enter on cue “stage left”. Then there was the on-stage gunshot during rehearsal – a startling event to the visiting veterinarian who was conducting a clinic in the room behind.
Maureen remem-bers the Guild’s “most
polished” production as “The Club” (1983), in which six women pretended to be mem-bers of an all-male club at a time when women were excluded from such places. She recalls the 1981 staging of “My Fair Lady” as the most challenging. But maybe not: She also remembers com-ing into the produc-tion of “Here’s Love” in 1993. This stage version of “Miracle on 34th Street” – com-plete with a Macey’s Thanksgiving Day Parade – had more than 50 performers in the cast. Maureen came into the produc-tion half-way through the rehearsals, taking on the task of direct-ing the dozen or so children under 12 years old. While she has enjoyed all of her time in Guild produc-tions through the years, Maureen says she had “the most fun” with “The Pyjama Game”, which she directed with Liz Endicott in 2004. “It was a lot of fun and work over the years,” she says, “but even so, it was always easy to find people to help
These days, 50 years on, as times have changed in the Bella Coola Valley, so has the world of the Bella Coola Little Theatre Guild. With the aging population and the intrusion of other forms of enter-tainment, (television, movie rentals, and the Internet) the out-side world is in every local living room, and fewer and fewer Valley residents have been
stepping forward to become involved in amateur theatre. While many seem to have an interest in perform-ing on the stage, it has become increasingly difficult to identify people to take on the role of directing and producing.
While the Guild has historically engaged in at least one produc-tion annually and often two or three, the Guild has been inac-tive for four of the past seven years. The most recent Little Theatre Guild production (2012) was “The Noble Spaniard” a Somerset Maugham situation comedy directed by John Morton, who has been involved as an actor and director/pro-ducer since the 1970’s. Says John, “we do this (amateur theatre pro-duction) for ourselves, but also for our com-munity.” He says live
theatre provides “not only satisfaction for the actors and everyone associated with a suc-cessful production, but great entertainment. The Theatre Guild has contributed tremen-dously to the Valley,” he adds. John believes that institutions such as the Theatre Guild “define the culture and fabric of our commu-nity and through that enrichment make it a more attractive place to live.”
Those involved in the Guild over the years hope to see a new production in the works this year, and this requires Valley res-idents – those involved in the past and others who want to enjoy themselves partici-pating in live theatre – to come forward and help open the curtain on a 51st season for the Bella Coola Little Theatre Guild.

SUBMITTED BY COLEEN FRASER
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. Hosed at the Community Church in Hagensborg these men helped fourteen householders with cleanup and reconstruction during the nine days that they were in the valley.In mid-November volun-
