Friends and family were overjoyed to hear that little Challaine Yvonne Dettling-Morton will receive her father’s kidney in the coming months.

Two-year old Challaine was born without function-ing kidneys and has spent all of her life on dialysis. Early this year she was transferred

to BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver to begin hemodial-ysis as her home-based peri-toneal dialysis was no longer doing the job. Separated from her father and Bella Coola family, she has been in Vancouver with her mother, Rhonda Morton, ever since.

Challaine’s father, Darren, began testing almost imme-diately to find out if he would qualify as a kidney donor to

his daughter. The process has multiple levels and usually takes months.

The separation and the continued hemodialysis have been a challenge for the fam-ily, but they faced every day with a renewed optimism as Challaine’s father Darren con-tinued to pass various levels of testing for kidney dona-tion. Hopes were high for a success, but the family didn’t

dare speculate. On April 28, a week after

Challaine’s second birthday, the family was told the good news. “Our prayers have been answered,” said Rhonda. “We all cried for hours the day it was confirmed that Darren was a match. Finally! It seems to have come fast in some ways, but then it can seem never ending when trying to get through the final hour of a

rough dialysis run.” Before a transplant could

even be considered, Challaine had to reach a target weight of ten kilograms. She is now at a healthy 11.2 kilograms. The doctors remain impressed with her growth and praised the efforts of her parents because, considering all of the daily challenges she faces

With Sympathy


with dialysis and reflux, it is remark-able that she has been able to reach such a healthy weight.

“The doctors are delighted with her progress – she’s in the middle of the growth chart,” said Rhonda. “Darren and I were so partic-ular with her diet as she had a strict daily volume allowed, we’d measure down to the millimeter to try and replace what she’d lose through reflux.”

“From what I've been told most dial-ysis patients are low on the chart or have drops on it. Growing while on dialysis is a big mathemati-cal game,” Rhonda explains. “I see how hard Challaine's doctors and dieti-tians work to try stay that little bit ahead of nutrition for her to grow but also not to overload the sys-tem and cause an imbalance. Lots of bloodwork to say the least.”

There is no date set yet for the actual operation, as a team of medi-cal specialists must be assembled and scheduled at both St. Paul’s Hospital, where Darren’s operation will take place, and at BC Children’s Hospital where Challaine will undergo the pro-

cedure. However, the family has been given the tentative timeline of June to August.

Darren remains absolutely giddy with the news that he is match and says he has no anxiety facing a major oper-ation that comes with many risks. “She’s my baby girl,” he says. “I just want to get it done.”

Challaine is certainly a more delicate case due to her young age, but

transplants for chil-dren are not uncom-mon. Rhonda says they have conducted many successful transplants on very young children before.

Once the trans-plant is complete, Challaine will have to remain in Vancouver for three months to make sure everything is stable and to regulate her

medication sched-ule. While the trans-plant will improve Challaine’s quality of life immensely, she will have to take anti-rejection drugs for the rest of her life and undergo regular check ups.

“The trans-plant will give her an almost normal life,” said Rhonda. “But she will always have to take anti-

rejection drugs which over time may be lowered. These will be monitored closely as too little could cause rejec-tion and too much could bring other side effects.”

For Challaine’s father, changes are also imminent. There is a significant adjustment as the remaining kidney takes on the work-load of two, result-ing in fatigue and decreased energy for a period of time. He will be care-fully watched for blood pressures, electrolytes and fluid balance, but is expected to make a full recovery.

On average, relat-ed living donor kid-neys’ last 12 years or more, depending on factors such as lifestyle, health,

and where the kid-ney came from. A live kidney donated from a living parent has a lower rejec-tion factor than one received from a stranger or a non-living donor and the best case scenario would be one donat-ed from an identical twin, which is genet-ically the same and the recipient twin doesn’t even require anti-rejection drugs.

Rhonda feels for-tunate that Darren proved to be a match so quickly for Challaine’s sake. She herself was plan-ning to be tested next, as the standing rule is to test only one potential donor at a time. But, she remains extremely empathetic towards those still waiting in hemodialysis.

“I have mixed

feelings,” she says. “I am so happy for us, but when we are in the hemodialysis unit it’s hard to see all of those kids still waiting. I truly wish we had kidneys for all of them.”

Once the trans-plant is complete and the waiting peri-od is over, Rhonda and Challaine are excitedly planning to return to Bella Coola to family, friends, and their normal lives.

Transplant operation will likely occur in a matter of months

Once the transplant is complete, Challaine should enjoy a near normal life and will no longer have to receive dialysis

treatments.

Rumba Calzada performs a power-ful blend of Latin Jazz and Afro-Cuban rhythms, “guaran-teed to move your feet and reach your soul,” according to LA’s Latin Beat Magazine. The band has been a favourite with Vancouver's Latin Jazz and Salsa enthusiasts for over 15 years. They will be the featured band at a dance, co-sponsored by the Bella Coola Valley Arts Council and the Discovery Coast Music Festival, on Friday, May 27, at Lobelco Hall.

The band is now headed by Raphael Geronimo, which was founded in 1991 by his father who studied in Cuba at the Laboratorio Internacional de Folklore en la Habana, and in New York City at the Harbour Center of Performing Arts. Percussionist Raphael is joined by another percussion-ist, as well as bass,

keyboard and vocals.In 2002, Rumba

Calzada's CD was nominated for various awards, including a West Coast Music Award, a Canadian Independent Music

Award, and a Juno Award. Their latest CD, Album Four, was nominated for a 2008 Western Canadian Music Award for Outstanding World Recording of the Year. That

same year, Rumba Calzada represented Canada at the Miri International Jazz Festival in Sarawak, Malaysia, and was voted as the “crowd favourite” to return for 2009.

When the Arts Council confirmed they would be host-ing Rumba Calzada, they decided to build up to the event in collaboration with Active Communities. Certified instructor Holly Willgress hap-pily agreed to teach “Zumba” classes, a Latin-dance inspired exercise, with lots of hip-shaking and hot moves.

Class participants will perform a cho-reographed dance routine at the event, showing off their hot Zumba grooves. Get up off that couch on Friday, May 27 and shake your booty. See you on the dance floor!

Re: Telus Equipment Repair

Please be advised that Telus will be undertaking an equip-ment repair project beginning Wednesday May 11th and pro-ceeding as late as Wednesday May 18th.

Specifically, Telus crews will be re-securing their Mt. Stupendous Passive Repeater (also known locally as 'the reflector' near Burnt Bridge).

During the process of repairs there may be brief periods of long-distance phone interrup-tions at which time the valley will be isolated from telephone access to and from outside numbers. The local exchanges of 982 and 799 are not anticipated to have any interruptions due to this project.

Also subject to interruption (if phones are interrupted) are the Central Coast Communications Society internet service as well as ATM/Credit Card processing that relies on telephone communica-tions.

Although the interruptions are

predicted to be brief, the CCRD Emergency Program intends to have protocol agreements established with agencies that operate VHF repeater systems from the valley to provide patch through communications with outside agencies should the need arise. Details of this process will be made available prior to the scheduled work date.

The public will be notified of the potential interruptions on other levels such as newspaper and/or radio spots. Feel free to share this information with your teams or anyone else.

Please address any questions to myself.

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-

The Bella Coola Resource Society is very pleased to announce that the Bella Coola Community Forest Agreement has been converted from a five-year probationary licence to a 25 year renewable licence.

“This is a historic step as we now have long lasting security that the community will be managing the local forest resourc-es,” says Resource Society President Barry Brekke. “From a business perspective, it also provides secu-rity for our investors and we can now plan for longer term devel-opment,” adds Bella Coola Community Forest President, Carl Siwallace.

Community for-estry is a growing movement and there are over 45 communi-ties in the Province that have licences and more are apply-ing for them as there is growing awareness how important it is for rural communi-ties to have greater control of how the resources on which they depend are man-aged.

2010 was a suc-cessful year for the Community Forest despite the prolonged summer fire season shutdown and the September flood. 15,367 m3 were logged (approxi-mately 375 truck loads) and all of the wood was sold earlier this year. Over 300 m3 were sold to local mill operators while the rest was barged to the lower mainland where the logs were sold to Japanese, Chinese, Korean and domestic customers. Close to 1100 man-days of employment was generated and 88% of that was local. All of this resulted in $1.5 million of eco-nomic activity.

The September flood did major dam-age to a most of the main forestry roads in the community forest; however the operations that were active at that time were not affected

very much, although the delay did prevent completion of the last block before snow set in. Repairs to the damaged roads and bridges are in the Ministry of Forests hands and funding availability has not been announced yet.

The first tree seed-lings were planted on the Community Forest in 2010. In total 36,000 Douglas fir and red cedar seedlings were planted on the areas logged in 2009 in the Nusatsum valley. The goal of the com-munity forest is to reforest logged sites as soon as possible and the seedlings for the areas logged last year are growing in the nursery right now and will be planted in September this year.

To ensure that wildlife habitat is protected, the Community Forest is working closely with local staff at the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations to develop a com-prehensive habitat management strategy. In addition to the established grizzly gear, mountain goat and deer winter range areas, work is under way to identify and set aside goshawk nesting habitat and riparian areas along streams with tailed frogs.

Last year, one of the fallers discovered

an occupied goshawk nest with two young fledglings. Work was stopped immediately and in coordination with Ministry of Environment work plans were adjusted and a protective buf-fer was put in place before work resumed. The nest was moni-tored and when the fledglings had matured enough they flew away with their parents.

Looking ahead, logging plans for 2011 are very uncertain as the economic chal-lenges continue. Driven by increasing demand from China, prices for certain types of wood are improving, but the high Canadian dollar erodes the gains.

Furthermore, our access costs are very high as we need to build or rehabili-tate a lot of road in order to reach small patches of viable timber. There is a small amount of wood (35-40 truck loads) left from the logging started in 2010 which will be completed later this spring and there are a few other logging options available that were not affected by flood damage but timber prices need to improve. Every option is being investigated by the Board with the goal of developing a plan that will get the crews back to work and provide some logs for local mills.

The Bella Coola Safety Committee (BCSC) is a group of community members that have been work-ing together for over a year to assist victims and offenders of seri-ous harms.

The RCMP had suggested that a com-mittee be formed that could address concerns and griev-ances from victims of crime that had origi-nally been brought to the Nuxalk Nation Chief and Council. The Nuxalk Nation’s Health and Wellness department was given the authority to set up the committee and bring together various community resources.

Members of the committee range from organizations from the RCMP, Community Support Society, elders, Nuxalk Nation Health and Wellness, the United

Church, and the tran-sition house.

Charles Nelson, director of Health

and Wellness says the committee can offer “support to victims of offences to ensure

they are safe and develop a wellness plan with them.” The BCSC can also “assist

offenders with well-ness planning and by providing recommen-dations to the court of

their sentencing.”Concerns that the

community can bring forth to the committee include criminal and non-criminal mat-ters and range from complaints of domes-tic violence, sexual offences, youth issues and drug and alcohol related offences. Any wellness planning that is done includes an opportunity for a person to help them-selves whether they have endured trauma or addiction.

Through work-ing with the RCMP and the court circuit team that attends in Bella Coola every four months, the BCSC has developed a working relationship to best help individuals who find themselves in trouble with the law or who have been vic-

timized.With many

resources being pooled together Nelson says that com-munity members are at an advantage in that “issues such as abuse can be dealt with at a community-based level”.

Nelson sees the committee in the future taking on a “stronger role in terms of community justice, with a sub-committee dealing with restor-ative justice” where victims can feel safe and have their rights upheld.

The BCSC is avail-able to assist anyone in the Bella Coola Valley. Contact the Nuxalk Nation Health and Wellness depart-ment at (250) 799-5809 for further infor-mation.

April 30 was a beautiful spring day for the Tour de Bella Coola. Although challenged by a good headwind, 45 riders enjoyed

the sunshine and cooler temperatures. This year we were pleased to see more youth attendance, thanks to Charlotte Leys and Janice Kyle of Nuxalk Health and Wellness, who

spirited an enthu-siastic team from Acwsalcta School.

The ride once again ended at Bella Coola Grizzly Tour’s site where hungry, muscle fatigued bike riders feasted

on Mike’s yummy burgers beneath Leonard’s awesome gazebo.

Keen participants and good weather are essential to the tour but what made this event truly a

success is the sup-port and encourage-ment of commu-nity partners. Active Communities Bella Coola, a Bella Coola General Hospital initiative, coordi-nated the day.

Thanks to Janice Kyle and Charlotte Leys for encourag-ing youth riders, a big thank you to Rick Ratcliff at Rick’s Re-Cycling for his inventive rack system to trans-port bikes, Wes Dearmond, from BC Parks, for transpor-tation and support, School District #49 for the use of the school bus, Doug Baker for his wit, charm and driving finesse, Mecham’s Garage for propane, Leonard Ellis, Bella Coola Grizzly Tours for the functional charm of his gazebo, and Buddy Thatcher for flipping 85 burg-ers.

The Tour de Bella

Coola is an excep-tional spring event. It’s a unique way to spend time with friends or family, enjoy the challenge and zest of physical activity, and delight in the beauty of our spectacular valley.

Next year oil up that bike, grab your

kids and join us in this special Bella Coola experience. Thank you all for coming out!

Premier to abolish parking fees in provincial parks

Clark and Environment Minister Terry Lake launched BC Parks centennial celebrations today by announcing that parking will now be free in all provincial parks to encour-age families to take advantage of our world-class parks system.

“The parking meters are coming out and parking will be free, effective immediately, so that British Columbia's parks are even more welcoming for fami-lies,” said Premier Clark. “Our parks not only contribute to a healthy lifestyle and protect our environment, they are important to our economy. More park visitors mean more tourism dollars and more jobs for rural

British Columbians and we want to eliminate any bar-riers to using the parks.”

The Province also announced a $500,000 Community Legacy Program to support communities while they celebrate the BC Parks centenni-al. The funding will be used to improve parks across the province.

Community groups can apply for up to $20,000 for projects such as trail enhancements, improvements that support recreational activities or conser-vation of a park's ecology or cultural history. These proj-ects will provide a lasting commemo-ration of BC Parks 100.

“BC Parks are a part of who we are,” said Lake. “They help define us as British Columbians, and show that we care deeply about our environment and our planet. The new legacy fund looks to the future and the improve-ments we can con-tinue to make, and it looks to the past 100 years by rec-ognizing that com-

munity groups have played a key role in making the parks and protected areas system what it is today.”

While we cel-ebrate BC Parks 100, park visitors will be the ones getting the birthday gifts through a num-ber of promotions throughout the year.

Starting soon, people can share photos or stories from a BC Parks adventure at www.facebook.com/YourBCParks and then go to www.bcparks.ca to sub-mit their name for a random draw of a BC Parks birthday pack to make your next park visit more enjoyable.

With 13.6 per cent of the province set aside as park-land and protected areas, B.C. has the second largest park system in Canada, second only to the national park sys-tem. Special events will be held in parks across the province all year, as BC Parks honours 100 years of conservation and recreation, from the snowy peak of Mount Robson to the tidal pools of Haida Gwaii.

Calling all authors, poets, play-writes, and anyone who wants to write

Have you got some poems that you’d like to work on, but just never get around to it? What about that children’s story that you’ve been wanting to get published? That memoir of your trav-els? That half-finished novel? Or perhaps you want to start writ-ing a blog? Does it seem like you can just never seem to find the time to write, or you can’t seem to finish anything you start? Joining a writer’s group might just pro-vide the push that you need.

Writer’s who belong to writers groups say there are many reasons to join: it provides motivation because you have to get something ready for the next meeting; you get inspiration from hearing others in your group read their work, and from their thoughtful sug-gestions about yours; you get support and encouragement from other writers; and you make connections and meet others who care about the written word. The list could go on.

As this is a new group in the Valley, the members will determine the format and direction of the group. At the first

meeting, we will start with some free-fall writing exercises. Writers can talk about what they are working on, or what they want to start working on, they can read some-thing they’ve been working on, or talk about a project they want to start working on.

Maybe the group can start a blog or a wiki, organize work-shops, invite local published authors – the only limit is our imagination. Writers will be able to per-form their work for the public at the next “Word in the Valley” event, hosted by the Arts Council in October.

In October, Chilcotin author and artist Chris Czajkowski will be the special guest. Chris will be spending the weekend in the Valley, showing her art and her books, and meet-ing and with the writer’s group.

The first meeting of the Valley Writer’s Group will be May 29, 7:00 p.m. at The Art House. The group will continue to meet the last Sunday of the month. Please phone 250-799-5935 to reg-ister and for more information.

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-
