Legion President Ron Richards presents John Morton with the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal at the Bella Coola Branch of the Legion on April 13.

John Morton honoured with Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal Community members gathered on April 13 to honour a respected volunteer, businessman, and all-round upstanding citizen John Morton, with the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal.

Created in 2012 to mark the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s accession to the Throne as Queen of Canada, the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee

Medal is a tangible way for Canada to honour Her Majesty for her service to this country.

At the same time, this commemorative medal serves to honour significant contributions and achievements by Canadians.

Nominated by the Bella Coola Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, John was the recipient of the award for his decades of tireless contribu-

tions to the Bella Coola Valley community in many different ways.

“When we were notified by the Legion that we could nominate someone from our community, there was no hesitation,” said Legion President, Ron Richards. “John’s name immediately come to mind and though many others have done a lot for this community, it was felt no one could match what

John has done over the years.”

John came to live in Bella Coola in 1968, marrying local girl Rene Kopas. In his own words, he says, “I grew up in a time when most things, in rural communities at least, only happened if volunteers made them happen, and my parents were almost always in the forefront of those efforts. So when I came to Bella Coola 45 years ago it seemed natural to

join my family experience with that of the Kopas family, where Rene and her parents were great contributors to community endeavours.”

John and Rene went on to have one son, Ashley, whose video tribute to his father was played at the dinner. He spoke in particular about how his father imparted on him the SEE MORTON ON PAGE 3

Morton involved in numerous community organizations continued from

concept of citizenship.

“Since John arrived in Bella Coola he has amassed quite a list of personal achievements,” continued Richards.

“Many of us know he is extremely active as a volunteer, but few will realize just how much he has done over the years.

The number of organizations and people he has helped is truly amazing.”

John has also been involved in Valley sports, particularly baseball. Having played fast-pitch since 1969, he organized teams, kept stats and schedules, arranged tournaments, umpired, and organized and participated in umpire clinics. He brought much of the same enthusiasm to volleyball, and has run the Terry Fox Run for 25 years.

His sharp business skills have been an invaluable asset to many community organizations. John has looked after the

finances of the United Church, the Bella Coola Valley Museum and B.C. Central Coast Archives, the Arts Foundation, the Hagensborg TV Society, and the Alexander Mackenzie Voyageur RouteCentennial National organization. He has also assisted many individuals with their financial duties in other organizations.

John has also been involved with the Bella Coola Valley Little Theatre Guild, Lobelco Hall, and the Bella Coola Fall Fair for over 30 years. He has been a Credit Union Director for 33 years, and he also maintains his position as Service Officer with the Legion, of which he has been a member for over 40 years. John also served 10 years on the Retail Board of B.C. and sat as a Director on the Central Coast Regional District.

John’s friend and fellow Credit Union Director, Donna Mikkelson,

made a special point of mentioning his contribution to the Valley’s cooperative financial services. “I believe that without his leadership in the late 1990s and his forethought and business sense, it’s possible that our community wouldn’t be fully serviced with a financially sound institution today,” said Mikkelson. “Think about that for a minute. It’s not a small thing.”

In addition, John has served as Master of Ceremonies on countless community occasions, and is often referred to as the ‘go-to’ individual for sound advice on a wide range of issues, always responding with reliability and professionalism. “There is no cheapness, dishonesty, or easy way out for John Morton,” said Richards. “When John gives advice or help, it is always what he believes is right in both a legal and moral sense and what will best serve all those affected.”

“John has done so very much in so many ways on behalf of this community, but for me, it was the way he took on all these challenges,” said longtime friend Kevin O’Neill. “He always brought an irrepressible energy and positive attitude to the table that was highly contagious, and served to encourage many more to volunteer to help...this has truly been John's gift to his community.”

For those involved with the ceremonial dinner and presentation of the medal to John, it was especially satisfying to celebrate their friend, partner, and community leader together. “You have our sincere appreciation for all that you have done, all that you are doing, and all that you will continue to do for us and for our community,” said Mikkelson. “Long may you shine!”

“U-Fire Raku” coming to the Art House this Sunday Ernest Hall The Bella Coola Valley Arts Council invites the community to a day of “Firey Family Fun” at the Art House in Hagensborg this coming Sunday (April 28).

In this first-ever event for Bella Coola, all day, from 11 to 5, Valley potters Theresa Marie Bagshaw, Marc Hedges, and Ernest Hall, along with a host of volunteers, will be smoking it up in an outdoor firing of pottery and clay plaques – weeks in the making and now ready for you the community to finish. The potters are donating their items and participation to this benefit event raising funds for the Council and its effort to maintain and enhance the Art House operations.

The Raku finishing U will do involves glazing the bisqueware piece yourself (with some instruction/demonstration, of course) and putting it in a fast-firing outdoor kiln where it heats over the course of an hour or so before the excitement begins.

When the glazes are molten and the pieces are glowing hot (around 1900 degrees F.), the kiln is opened and the pieces are quickly transferred one at a time with long tongs to a container of leaves,

straw, paper, etc. – materials that spontaneously explode into flame. Here’s where U spring back into action, “reducing” the oxygen atmosphere in the container. This creates a chemical reaction that produces the traditional white crackle and lustrous, iridescent metallic sheen typical of Raku pottery. Because of the labour-intensive process and high risk of cracking in the fastcooling, Raku pottery is usually much more expensive than other types of pottery.

Raku is an ancient Japanese firing technique developed for the Buddhist Zen tea ceremony. It results in a porous clay body that is permeable and so is most often used for pottery that is primarily ornamental (although it can be made water-proof for use as a vase or other type of vessel.) The Zen of the moist warm tea bowl explains the Japanese meaning of the word “Raku”. Roughly translated, this is “the

enjoyment of leisure”.

However, participants at the Sunday “U-Fire” will agree that the process is not at all leisurely: It is a highly charged event with lots of action – and some down time too when volunteer musicians will entertain.

At the “U-Fire” Sunday, U buy a piece for $5 - $30 depending on size – and take over the finishing, clean off the soot and ashes, and take it home – all for the price of the piece U choose. (The pieces donated by the three potters would normally cost from $20 to $80 each!) Also at the “U-Fire” you will be able to buy a hot dog or burger – veggie too, chips and a soft drink – at typical prices.

Because the number of pieces and kiln space are limited, “U-Fire Raku” is offering advance tickets at $5 so that U can be guaranteed to get in on the action.

Tickets are available at Bella Coola Wild Craft and Creekside

Studio Gallery. Firing will also be staged in three shifts: 11:00 – 1:00, 1:00 – 3:00, 3:00 – 5:00. You might want to come early, expecting to return for a shift later in the day.

Spectators Welcome! Bring your camera - and a lawn chair if you can. This benefit event is made possible through the generous support of: Hagensborg Mercantile, Mecham’s Sales and Service, Townsite (Tru) Hardware, Kopas Store, Bella Coola Wild Craft, and Creekside Studio Gallery. Thanks also to School District #49 for the Arts Council use of the Art House venue.

CCRD holds referendum on becoming diking authority, public meeting on April 30 Caitlin Thompson The CCRD will soon begin the process of asking Valley residents whether or not they are in favour of the CCRD becoming a diking authority.

Given its significance to the Valley’s transportation system and therefore its relevance to the entire community, the CCRD has chosen the airport dike as its first potential project. The dike was originally constructed around 30 years ago, but only protects two-thirds of the runway, and is characterized as ‘failing’.

“We pursued an application in 2005 to fix the airport dike, but the CCRD wasn’t ready to commit to being a diking authority at that time,” said the current manager of the Airport Dike Project, Stephen Waugh of Spiritscape Ventures. “If the Valley decides to become a diking authority, the airport dike would be constructed to the new 200-year flood standards.”

Although the Valley’s Flood Response Advisory Committee (FRAC) identified the Hagensborg ‘gap’ as the highest priority in the Valley, this project was not pursued as higher levels of government refused to fund it.

“The CCRD and FRAC’s top priority was the Hagensborg gap,” said Waugh. “But the federal and provincial governments wanted the airport dike addressed first. However, the gap project is still being pursued, and some separate funding may be

available to fix it.”

Two bylaws were passed in recent months paving the way towards the referendum. Bylaws 415 and 416, which would establish the Bella Coola Dike Service and authorize the borrowing of over one million dollars respectively, were passed earlier this year.

One of the most significant considerations the Board faced in the passing of these bylaws was the perceived ‘unfairness’ of including on-reserve Nuxalk Nation members in the vote.

Given that on-reserve Nuxalk Nation members do not pay property taxes, and therefore are not required to financially contribute to the construction and maintenance of an airport dike, should it proceed, it was decided that the Board amend the bylaws to read: “excluding the boundaries of IR#1.” This took place at the February 14 board meeting.

The regional district did send a letter to the Nuxalk Nation last September requesting financial consideration for this project, as it would benefit the entire Valley.

However, as the federal government is already contributing to the project, the Nation has no means by which to contribute to the project, and have requested assistance from their federal MP, Nathan Cullen.

Valley residents may now be grappling with the pros and cons of becoming a diking authority, as this the only surefire way to ensure the airport dike and

any others will be expanded and repaired. Since the provincial and federal governments refuse to take ownership of dikes and have essentially left them ‘orphaned’, flood-prone communities are left with some complicated choices.

If the community does vote that the CCRD become a diking authority, the district will be eligible to borrow the $1,150,000 to repair and expand the dike, and this cost will be borne by residents in the form of a tax increase. The total cost of the project is $3,000,000, however, the federal and provincial governments have committed to funding the remaining twothirds of the project.

“There are several things the taxpayer will be considering during this referendum,” said Waugh. “However, it is important to note that the intention of the regional district is to have the work done by local contractors, and this will mean that the $3,000,000 will be spent in the community. In any other option, the province would simply bring in a general contractor from outside.”

The tax increases and subsequent maintenance costs that would be required by the project have yet to be made public, but firm estimates of these numbers are expected to be available at the upcoming public meeting.

Many residents may also wonder what obligations come with becoming a diking authority, and

The airport dike, constructed about 30 years ago, presently protects about two-thirds of the runway. how much responsibility they may have to bear. In considering the aftermath of the 2010 flood, remaining with the status quo would result in pretty much the same response, as there is no clear ‘owner’ of the dike at this time.

“The Ministry of Transportation basically did a ‘patch job’ on the airport dike after the 2010 flood, and this was a huge act of goodwill,” said Waugh. “Nothing has been done since.”

If the CCRD does become a diking authority, they will be responsible for the basic maintenance, such as cutting the brush and completing required

repairs, and conducting annual inspections. These costs would also come in the form of a tax increase.

If the dike does fail in a future flood, the CCRD would be eligible for Disaster Financial Assistance of up to 80 percent of the cost to repair the dike, and would be eligible to apply to the province for the remaining 20 percent.

There are many questions that still remain unanswered, and residents will have the opportunity for an in-depth discussion about the pros and cons of this endeavour at the public meeting, slated for Tuesday, April 30, 6:30pm at Lobelco Hall.

SAMS Outdoor Ed Class completes overnight hike in the Rainbows ASHLEY MOORE On March 8, Mr. Boileau took our grade 10-12 Outdoor Ed class on a weekend long trip to Eastbranch.

Leanne Harrison, Kim Moore, and David Kopas came along as chaperones. We snowshoed in through the untouched winter wonderland. The weather was perfect, not a gust of wind, or cloud around.

As soon as we arrived we had a quick snack break then got right back outside to build a place to sleep. Hours later after shovelling,

packing, and digging snow everyone managed to complete a quinzhee (snow cave).

Later that afternoon, because the weather hadn’t changed we all geared up and hit the rope-tow. Some students already had the hang of it, most took a few tries, and the rest who decided, maybe snowboarding wasn’t for them, took time to tube. Once everyone was tired and wet we finished the day off with a family dinner of chili prepared by the group.

The first night was awesome. Everyone bundled up and crawled into snow

cave. It was warm and comfortable for a snow cave. Most people slept well. The sun shining through the snow and ice above woke my group, just minutes before Mr. Boileau began his traditional awakening “Great Canadian morning!! The birds are chirping.....”

Day two was nearly as beautiful. The majority of the day for me was spent trying to get up the hill on the rope tow. For others it was full of avalanche training, snowboarding, shoveling snow off of the SEE

roof and card/snack breaks. The highlight of the trip for most came after a dinner of moose burgers though.

It was time for the night hike exercise.

Everybody rummaged through their bags for headlamps then gathered around the table for a compass bearing lesson. Once everything was ready, we split up into groups and followed a our bearings to the top of a hill. The sky was breathtaking, dotted with stars in every direction.

We all gathered at the top, reset our bearings for a lake and broke trail on our way down. The hike was perfect and so was arriving back to the cabin with hot chocolate waiting. For the rest of the night before heading to bed people split up. Some built a fire and had smores, others tubed, and the rest stayed inside and played

some long card games. Soon after everyone became tired and headed back out to their “quinzhees” for their second night’s sleep The second night wasn’t nearly as cozy as the first. I was still warm but after two days of winter activities people were beginning to feel a little stiff/sore.

Day three was dedicated to cleaning up the cabin, lots of people showed up for the Sunday snowboarding/skiing, so we had to make the cabin look untouched.

When all was cleaned up, we snowshoed a bit to a place where Mr. Boileau had prepared an avalanche awareness lesson. It was a good way to end the trip. In small groups people began to hike back when the lesson was complete.

We packed up the vehicles and headed home. I think everyone would agree that it was a fun, success-

ful and beautiful trip.

Coast Mountain News Thursday, April 25, 2013

North Coast candidates announced in 2013 provincial election Last week, Premier Christy Clark asked Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon to dissolve parliament, marking the start of the provincial 28-day election campaign.

Leaders from the B.C. Liberal Party and the B.C. NDP are traveling far and wide across the province, announcing and reaffirming economic promises.

In the north, Premier Clark re-iterated her party plan for a provincial prosperity fund that would collect revenues from future liquefied natural gas exports.

Meanwhile, B.C. Liberal Leader Christy Clark promised a crowd in Terrace more money for resources communities if she is re-elected. Clark says a rural dividend program

would give money back to communities that are resource producers.

“What happens is we negotiate some benefit back to the community so that they can pave the roads that are getting beat up by the trucks that go through their communities to support industry, so they can build the community centres so we can attract families to go and live and work in those communities,” said Clark.

The money would come from a Prosperity Fund, based on revenue from future LNG projects, Clark says.

NDP Leader Adrian Dix, who has said his campaign for premier won’t be overly flashy, delivered a lot of talk on policy during the first week.

Dix outlined the NDP’s economic and

jobs plan, with a focus on skilled trades, and an education plan that would see more specialty teachers hired and daycare fees cut.

Dix also said his aim is to give more money to low-income families and cut B.C.’s child poverty rate.

Locally, there are three candidates vying for your vote for North Coast MLA. Jennifer Rice is replacing incumbent NDP MLA Gary Coons, who has held the seat for the past two terms. Rice, a Prince Rupert city councilor who has a background in working with several environmental organizations, has been very active in the community of Prince Rupert for many years.

B.C. Liberal candidate Judy Fraser is a small business owner

who sits on the Board of the Prince Rupert Airport Authority and is actively involved with the Prince Rupert Regional Hospital, helping recruit and settle new doctors into the community.

Green Party candidate Hondo Arendt is a professor at Northwest Community College and has run for the party in the past.

In Bella Coola, you can vote in the advance polls from 8am to 8pm, May 8 – May 11, at the Service BC Centre in Bella Coola, located across from Townsite Tru Hardware on Cliff Street.

On May 14, you can vote at Bella Coola Elementary at 808 MacKay Street, and in Hagensborg at the Royal Canadian Legion, 855 Highway 20.

Immunization Awareness - protect yourselves and others Protect yourself.

Protect others. Get immunized.

That, in short, is all you need to know about immunizations. Okay, not quite, but as a single phrase to explain

the role of vaccinations today, it works perfectly. “Protect yourself. Protect others. Get immunized.” summarizes why immunization is the single most effective health intervention

of the past 50 years: it has saved more lives than any other intervention.

Immunization Awareness Week is April 20 to April 27 across Canada. The event helps to remind us all of the benefits immunizations have provided us all. When was the last time you saw a case of polio?

Rubella? Measles?

Whooping cough (pertussis)?

Unfortunately, while polio has not blackened our health for many years, the others still show up regularly in places where immunization is not practiced.

Everywhere else, they are not a problem.

Most of these ‘failures’ occur in communities where sig-

WANTED

Two Cabins for Staff Accommodation Tweedsmuir Park Lodge is interested in purchasing two cabins. The cabins must be in good condition and large enough to accommodate 2-3 people, ideally in separate rooms. The cabins must be easily transported.

Those interested are asked to contact: Beat Steiner Email: info@tweedsmuirparklodge.com Phone: 1.877.982.2407

Dr. Paul Martiquet nificant numbers of people do not believe in vaccination. Their reasons range from genuine individual concern to “I saw it on the internet where you can hear the ‘real’ story.”

There are a number of fallacies that stop people from immunizations. You don’t have to go far to hear an ‘authorita-

tive’ voice decrying the use of vaccines, their dangers and even the global conspiracy to control everyone for the benefit of multinationals (don’t laugh, we have heard all of these, some with real vehemence!) Each of these fallacies has been disproven and yet they remain. We consider three of the most persistent.

The most common fallacy is that the MMR (measlesmumps-rubella) vaccine causes autism.

Wrong! Research has rejected any causal associations between MMR and autism spectrum disorders in children. The best example is a Danish study of over 500,000 children born

between 1991 and 1998. It concluded that there is no difference in the rate of autism between vaccinated and unvaccinated children.

Another persistent untruth is that multiple injections can overwhelm the immune system, especially those of young children.

Simple logic belies that possibility. Every day after birth, a child comes into contact with untold numbers of germs, causing the immune system to do its job. Today, the vaccines recommended for infants from two months of age include only 34 antigens, that against the millions handled every day. Indeed,

Vintage Norwegian Cabin Tweedsmuir Park Lodge is interested in purchasing an original Norwegian, dove tail, log cabin to be used as guest accommodation at Tweedsmuir Park Lodge.

The cabin would be refurbished and historically restored with the intent of preserving a piece of Valley heritage, and adding to the historic site of Tweedsmuir Park Lodge.

Those interested are asked to contact: Beat Steiner Email: info@tweedsmuirparklodge.com Phone: 1.877.982.2407

the immune system needs to be challenged continually to stay vigorous.

Vaccines do not contain harmful traces of preservatives or residual products. True, some vaccines contain preservatives to keep vaccine vials from getting contaminated with germs. One, thimerosal is used as a preservative only in multi-dose vials of vaccines, and not in single dose vials or syringes.

Nevertheless, since March 2001, no vaccine in Canada used for routine immunizations of children contains thimerosal, with the exception of the flu vaccine.

As with any medical procedure, immunization has some risks. Individuals may react differently to vaccines. When considering immunization, both the risks and the benefits should be discussed with a qualified health care provider. The benefits of immunization are substantial and well documented.
