The Atlin Whisper “Never doubt that a small group of committed citizens can change the world.” Margaret Mead
TRAGEDY IN THE AIR “There are old pilots, and there are bold pilots, but there are no old bold pilots.” by Paul Lucas That being said, there are a few bush pilots who have consistently beaten the odds. How, we don’t know. Gamblers never bet on ‘em because those odds are simply too long to guarantee survival. Dick Bond and Jimmy ‘Midnight’ Anderson, from previous tales, are two that come to mind. The chances these guys took almost guaranteed a death in the air, but no - both of them died in their beds. Both were reckless, often endangering lives. There’s a reason why the adage ‘Old Bold Pilots ... ‘ remains popular. I’m afraid Dick’s wife Theresa, also a pilot, didn’t have the same luck though - a fact that became all too clear at a musical gathering of locals one night. — Atlin, Early Spring,1990. The days were getting longer in huge chunks - the sun setting later and later in the evening. The place was full of spring energy and, in the North, that is a powerful engine for both man and beast. We were celebrating said spring with a little get together. Not that we needed a reason, but in case the issue came up, I suppose we could have tossed that on the table. “How are the fingers?” Alex said, knowing that the digits on my left hand would be on the raw side by now. Alex McConnell, along with a bevy of other ne’er do wells that included Fred Morris (northern philosopher from an earlier tale) lived out at Lina Creek, down the Warm Bay Road about 3 miles south of my place. He had staked five acres along with the rest of us during the land opening in the late seventies. Alex had this old archtop guitar with heavy strings and a high action that pretty well guaranteed, after an hour or so, you would have a nice set of blisters. “I think I’ve got a couple of more tunes in me,” I said. We’d been singing and playing for over an hour when Liz Andrade, Fred’s mate and a member of Atlin’s Emergency Response Team, got an alert on her phone. She listened intently for a couple of minutes, then slammed the phone down and bolted out the door.
The party carried right on, and everyone was having a fine old time, until she returned. When she walked in, everything stopped. Her face was white. “What?” Fred said. “Theresa’s dead,” she came back quietly. Silence. Then eventually, “How?” “She was flying down to Smithers for a paramedics meeting and the plane ran into weather. Hit a mountain.” — When I first moved to Atlin, Theresa Bond owned the Food Basket - one of two grocery stores in Atlin. She was a Brit with a great sense of humour and a stiff upper lip. We got along just fine. The band would practice in Maureen Morris’ flat above the store. Maureen is a well known carver, and she had a little studio right across the street. But it was above the store we liked to rehearse, which tended to make the joint a magnet for shenanigans of all sorts - shenanigans like Stan Milos’ attempt to ride his horse up the back stairs to join the festivities. Fortunately, that afternoon at least, Dobbin wasn’t going for it. In a break, we would often holler through the chimney stack hole to see if we were too loud for the customers in the store downstairs, and Theresa would come back, “No, everybody loves it, keep going.” And then the inevitable … “Say, do you have any beer up there?” - our cue to tie a cold beer on a string and lower it through the gap by the chimney. We’d listen closely for the SNAP as the tab was pulled, the silence as the first swig hit that well tuned British esophagus, and the yell, “That’s the ticket!” And so it went. Rule Britannia. At the time, Theresa had just got her pilot’s license, and she was in the process of partnering up with husband Dick in his flying business - a sane head, everyone hoped, to balance out Bond’s recklessness.
They owned a Beaver - the same Beaver that seems to keep showing up in tale after tale, from ’Never Cry Wolf’ and my early Border Lake experience, to the upcoming story of the killer Sheslay Mike. In September of 1986, Theresa signed on to transport some passengers to Dease Lake, an approximately 150 mile (250 km) trip. They consisted of Al Passarell (Atlin’s rep in B.C.’s Legislative Assembly) and his wife Ruth, Joe Florence (owner of the Atlin Inn), Shelley Smith, and Ben Abel. The plane was on floats.
Something happened on landing. Many think it was a ‘glassy water landing’ - a mistake made misjudging altitude because of the glass-like calmness of the water. Regardless, observers say the plane flew straight into the lake. It seized everybody’s imagination. Anybody who has flown in small aircraft can picture the cycle of trauma going through the minds of the people on board. For Theresa, however, the cycle didn’t end with the crash. Theresa Bond was small, perhaps 5’3’ and 110 lbs. dripping wet. The other passengers had some heft. As a result, she was the one who popped through the windscreen of the aircraft, managing to last long enough in the freezing water to be rescued. Afterwards, she was a mess - physically, mentally and emotionally. She had to endure a lot of blame from the family members and friends of the victims, and her best bet would have been, no doubt, to leave town. But she stuck in there and took it - one small woman with the weight of the world on her shoulders, with all kinds of injuries including a jaw that was wired up so she couldn’t speak. She just wouldn’t give up. We were all proud of her. So it seemed monumentally unfair when, after all that, she ended up flying into a mountain on that May day four short years later, this time as a passenger. All according to life’s contract I’m guessing, but nevertheless a sad state of affairs. Goodbye kiddo.

In 2018, while experiencing catatonic burn-out, Kay received a call from her adventurous spirit to undertake a 1000-kilometer kayaking journey from the O’Donnell River south of Atlin, BC to Dawson City, Yukon. With little more than a spark in her heart and the support of her partner Jeremy, she set off into the vast wilderness. Join alongside her kyak, as Kay reads excerpts from her story and shares her unique illustrations re-counting the connections she experienced on the way. Kay’s story captures the individual and universal realities of break-downs and the miracles of break-throughs as proof that we can all learn to cultivate the courage to accept and respond to the calls of our lives.

BREWERY BAY MARINA ASSOCIATION The BBMA was formed a number of years ago as a non-profit organization incorporated under the B.C. Societies Act. It was established to take over the maintenance and operation of the marina from the Atlin District Board of Trade. The Association is managed by a board of directors that is representative of the community and the BBMA currently has sixty permanent members. The Association holds three leases of Crown land which includes the boat basin and launch ramp, the picnic area and parking lots and the free public launch ramp at the foot of Rant Street. At the present time forty association members have moorage sites in the marina and all either live or own property in Atlin. Moorage sites are allotted from a waiting list, but not in any particular order. Determination is made by the applicant meeting certain requirements, e.g. must be a member of the BBMA; do they reside in Atlin?; do they own property in Atlin?; are they available to assist with the O&M of the marina?; the size of their vessel; etc. Over the past few years, all of the walkways and docks have been replaced at a cost of over $60,000.00. The framing and decking for the new docks were purchased locally. The flotation and hardware had to be obtained outside of Atlin. The new docks were built entirely by volunteers and donated time and equipment. In 2019 the Association undertook major repairs to the free public boat ramp at the foot of Rant Street. The ramp was widened and lengthened and a retaining wall was replaced and backfilled. All of the manual labor was done by volunteers. Materials and equipment were sourced locally. The entire cost of this project was $16,000.00, paid entirely by the BBMA. The main problem with this ramp is a lack of parking space. In April of this year the BBMA built a retaining wall along the portion of lakeshore from the picnic area to the marina launch ramp. This work was required to remedy a hazardous condition which threatened public safety as the bank and the ramp leading onto the main dock were in danger of collapse. This work could only be done at extreme low water. The total cost of this project was in the area of $60,000.00 and the BBMA paid out $23,000.00. The remainder of the total amount was provided by volunteer labor and donated equipment and materials. I would like to thank the following volunteers and companies who donated their time and equipment and got this job done in record time. If I missed anyone it is certainly not intentional and I apologize for that. Pat Thompson Bob Gobeil Bob Wagner James Williams Wayne McManaman Al Nigel Dave Kavanagh Jake O’Brien & Son Don Curry Randy Shewen Donald Shaw Gerry Kuelbs Lyle Coleman Wayne Dear (Arctic Back Hoe) Pelly Construction Dave Calnan Robert Smallwood (Bob’s Contracting & Services) Several persons behind the scenes The Brewery Bay Marina is a focal point of the Atlin waterfront and is likely included in many photographs of Atlin Lake and Atlin Mountain. I would also like to give special thanks to Jennifer Hansen and her helper Trish Gobeil for painting the rail on the main breakwater and to the two Harbormasters, Wayne McManaman and Bob Gobeil, for looking after the picnic area. The BBMA has received nothing but thanks and praise from the town, tourists, visiting boaters and aircraft operators for our efforts. If anyone is interested in supporting the BBMA, please contact our Secretary/Treasurer, Jane Curry, or myself and request an Application for Membership form. The 2023 annual membership fee is $100.00 which gives you the use of our launch ramp, parking lots, and voting privileges at the Annual General Meeting. Jim King, President Brewery Bay Marina Association
RICHARD MILES STEPHENS DECEMBER 15,1941 - AUGUST 19,2022 “I will hold you in my heart, until I can hold you in heaven” Richard was born in Wetaskiwin, Alberta in December 1941, to Roy and Mae Stephens. As a young boy he lived in Norbury, Saskatchewan with his paternal grandparents, who ran the post office and a small country store. He attended school in Norbury until one day after riding his stallion to school which caused a ruckus with the other horses that had been ridden to school that day and having to write lines because of this he decided this was not for him and walked out and didn't look back . He preferred working on the family farm in Norbury with his Uncle Brian and later moving to Yellowknife to work as a truck driver with his Uncle Miles. He also spent some time working in a logging camp in Goodlow, B.C. The travel bug bit Richard as a young man and because he wanted to visit Germany and Holland, he joined the the Canadian Armed Forces in April of 1960, attending boot camp at CFB Shilo, Manitoba and was first based in Winnipeg as a member of the 2nd Regiment Royal Canadian Horse Artillery. Shortly after joining the forces, Richard met his lifelong love and partner Diane in 1961, on a blind date, they were married in 1963. In 1964 Richard’s regiment was stationed at CFB Hemer, West Germany. The couple lived in the small village of Mellen. Son Ricky was born in August of that year. While living overseas the young family spent vacations travelling around Europe with a tent trailer that they purchased in Holland (the same tent trailer traveled all the way to their back yard in Atlin). The family returned to Canada in the spring of 1966 where Richard received his honourable discharge. Daughter Cheryl joined the family in May of the same year. Upon returning to Canada, the family settled in the small Mennonite community of Landmark, Manitoba - the family was one of the first English speaking families in the community. Richard worked as a truck driver working for various companies in Winnipeg. Wendy joined the family in 1970. After living 8 years in Landmark the family sought new opportunities moving to Courtright, Ontario with Richard working in Sarnia. Then in 1976 dissatisfied with the rat race, weather and pollution, the family pulled up stakes with the three kids and a dog and headed west with the idea of returning to Richard’s farming roots. After spending an exceptionally mosquito filled night at the campground in Fort Nelson, they decided to head north to visit an uncle in Whitehorse. However, at Jakes Corner they decided to check out Atlin……upon arriving in Atlin they met Diane Smith who told them about the Warm Springs and Palmer Lake. They camped at the Warm Springs for two weeks - when they woke up one morning to fresh snow on the mountain tops - in July… they still decided Atlin was as good as any place to spend ONE winter, since three kids needed to go to school somewhere. Atlin was the perfect fit as Richard was a country boy at heart who always enjoyed exploring the great outdoors, hunting and fishing. They purchased their property on the Surprise Lake Road in 1977 where Richard built the log house that they have lived in for the past 44 years. Richard worked at various jobs, cutting and hauling firewood, slashing crew, maintenance jobs, carpentry work, operating equipment on Spruce Creek for Buster Irving. - he literally took on any job offered in order to support his family. Driving for Atlin Trucking in the early 1980’s led to the purchase of the company which he and Diane ran for 22 years later adding the mail contract and passenger services. With vehicles to wash after each trip to Whitehorse, the road was not chip sealed back then, he decided to build a car wash . Richard served as president of the Atlin Rec Centre and the Atlin Gun Club when the range was in the basement of the Rec Centre, next to the library. One of Richard’s most memorable and lasting projects was working with a dedicated group of friends to fully restore the old steam shovel that now sits in the museum yard. It was a memorable day for many when the old whistle sounded for the first time in many years. Being a collector of old stuff was one of Richard’s lifelong hobbies always justifying his collection that it was “good stuff you might need one day!” Richard also enjoyed spending his time woodworking, fly tying, and most recently had taken up the art of stained glass. He enjoyed hunting, camping, visiting “steam ups”, helping friends on their farm in Fort St. John, 4-wheeling and exploring the Atlin area and gardening. He was an active, life-long member of “The Table of Knowledge”
TRTFN Joint Visioning Process - Update From September 20 to 22, 2022, representatives from TRTFN, BC, Canada, and the Yukon came together in Atlin BC for a three day workshop as part of the TRTFN joint visioning process (JVP). Five Atlin residents also participated: Annette Giesbrecht, Bob Smallwood, Jeremy Lancaster, Åsa Burg, and Connie Morris. On the evening of Wednesday, September 21st, all residents of Atlin (Tlingit and non-Tlingit) were invited for a community dinner at the Atlin Recreation Centre to meet workshop participants and to learn about the joint visioning process. Over 120 people attended the dinner, which was a remarkable turn out and much larger than expected. Spokesperson Charmaine Thom (TRTFN), Chantelle Schultz (TRTFN) and Tlell Glover (BC) shared opening comments and offered some context for the JVP. During an open mic Q and A that followed many participants commented on the importance of understanding the history of the community and finding opportunities for honest dialogue and shared learning. There were also some direct questions reflecting concerns about the TRTFN draft vision statement that highlighted the need for increased dialogue and information sharing with the community as TRTFN moved further into next steps of this visioning process. . By the end of the evening, there was a general feeling that this was an important moment of coming together and a step in the right direction. With a commitment for more communication, and a lot more work ahead, there was optimism that a collaborative process can help build a stronger partnership between TRT and Atlin. For more detailed information on the JVP and the community dinner, please see the TRTFN Joint Visioning Process Atlin Community Dinner summary report which is being circulated by ACID Board Members. If you have any questions, please contact Annette Giesbrecht (annettelg@hotmail.com). Chantelle Schultz (senior.negotiator@gov.trtfn.com), or Tlell Glover (Tlell.Glover@gov.bc.ca).

Quite early on in life she knew How she would choose to spend her time; Being of service to women In places of need ‘round the world. After becoming a doctor She lived in towns and villages Working in medical clinics And often making home visits. During each two-year assignment She’d record her observations Of the rules women lived under Which caused them unfair restrictions… Just because they were women.
How women felt crushed in the present By limits on what they could do. How they lost hope for the future By rules imposed on their daughters… Just because they were women. Just because. Jeff Salmon
