Bella Coola couple grateful for community support in fight against MSBY CAITLIN THOMPSON
Erin Smith’s symptoms crept up on her. Family and friends noticed something was amiss with the young woman in her mid-thirties, who was normally in good health. But it was hard to pin down exactly what it was.
“It was really a collec-tion of little things at first, and I didn’t give it too much thought,” Erin Smith explains from her dining room table in Bella Coola. “I kept thinking it would get better, but it just didn’t.”
Erin Smith is now eight months pregnant and fac-ing the fight of her life. Diagnosed with primary
progressive multiple scle-rosis (PPMS) in November 2014, together with her husband Ben, their lives have essentially been turned upside down.
“I have always been a healthy person,” Erin said. “There is no cure for PPMS and it’s aggressive, so it’s a very, very scary diagnosis.”
PPMS is a rare form of multiple sclerosis - only about 10 percent of MS patients are diagnosed with it. Unlike typical relaps-ing remitting MS, PPMS is characterized by a lack of remissions. Patient’s symp-toms simply get worse and worse, and drug therapies aimed at “normal” remit-ting MS are ineffective at slowing the progression or
alleviating symptoms. “In Canada, it’s basically
not treated,” Erin explains. “It’s such a rare form that most MS research and sub-sequent treatments are not focused on PPMS.”
PPMS sufferers slowly lose their basic functions as the disease attacks myelin (a protective layer which covers the nerves in the brain and spinal cord), and eventually leads to com-plete paralysis.
Erin now finds simple everyday tasks using fine motor skills, such as using a knife, brushing her teeth or writing her name, are much more difficult or simply impossible. Her speech has slowed and her movements are more
spastic, and unpredictable. Thankfully, her condition will not affect her preg-nancy and their baby is due to be born at the beginning at of December.
“We were told long before Erin’s diagnosis that we would never be able to have children,” said her husband Ben. “So the preg-nancy was a huge surprise, we feel incredibly lucky and are really looking forward to it.”
After receiving the dev-astating diagnosis, Erin and Ben began conducting their own research into possible treatments. There are varying treatments for PPMS, although none are offered in Canada or the U.S. After many hours spent
searching, they concluded their best shot at halting the disease lay in a treatment known as Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT).
Explained in layman’s terms, the treatment removes stem cells from Erin’s own peripheral blood and puts them through a process that essentially “scrubs” the PPMS from her stem cells. She will then be put through four grueling rounds of chemotherapy back-to-back to “reset” her immune system.
Following the chemo her own stem cells, now “clean” of PPMS, will be trans-planted back into her body. As PPMS is an autoimmune disorder, it is hoped that the
transplanted stem cells will become the new “bosses” of her immune system, and the progression of the disease will be halted. The whole process is estimated to take between four to eight weeks.
The couple said that various PPMS sufferers in online forums have reported very positive results following the proce-dure. While the treatment is essentially intended to halt the progression of the disease and offers no guar-antee that symptoms will reverse, some patients have reported that their symp-toms have lessened follow-ing the procedure.

“It’s giving me hope that in the future I can be here and be a moth-er, otherwise it was very hopeless,” Erin said. “Right now we are just hoping the symp-toms will stop worsen-ing, and any reversal of symptoms would be a bonus.”
However, the finan-cial cost of the proce-dure, $54,500 USD, is simply too much for the couple to bear. Erin worked as a Special Education Teacher and is now on disability;
Ben is a Youth Care Worker at Bella Coola Elementary.
“It’s hard to ask for help,” Ben said. “But people here have made it easy, they’ve been so amazing. We are abso-lutely overwhelmed with the community’s willingness to help.”
Ben initially created a donation site under YouCaring.com and shared it on the Valley’s Facebook site - Belco Bulletin Board.
The community response was swift. So far, the online forum
on YouCaring has raised over $12,000.
Community events include a Legion Dinner/Pub Quiz planned for Saturday, October 24.
There will also be prizes for the Pub Quiz, a 50/50 raffle, and toonie-loonie draws. Tickets are $25 and part of the proceeds will go to Erin's treat-ment.
In addition, a Halloween Dance fea-turing AKA will be held on Saturday, October 30 at Lobelco Hall.
Tickets are $25 and include appetizers and a raffle for prizes.
Tickets are available at Koopas, Mountain Valley Organics, Dragonfly Studios, Little Nook and Shop Easy.
There is an account at the WLDCU under “Erin’s Medical Fund” for local dona-tions, and finally, Ben’s hometown of Aberdeen, Scotland is holding a traditional “Ceilidh” - a dance and fundraiser.
Erin plans to leave
for her hometown of Golden, BC, in November to have the baby. Following the baby's arrival, Erin's HSCT is scheduled to begin next April in Mexico, the nearest country to offer it to people with PPMS.
“We are so grateful, we never imagined we’d get help like this. We couldn’t have done it on our own” said Ben.
Erin agrees. “We really want the com-munity to know how grateful we are, and
we really want every-one to have fun at the Halloween Dance. It’s going to be a good time.”

Challaine Dettling-Morton's parents Rhonda and Darren with Chris Millham and Denise Casperson of Bella Coola's BC Service Centre
Bella Coola BC Service Centre employees honoured with Community Leadership AwardBY CAITLIN THOMPSON
The staff of Bella Coola’s BC Service Centre were hon-oured with a spe-cial Community Leadership Award from the Kidney Foundation of Canada, BC and Yukon Branch, for their dedication and support of organ donation and registra-tion.
Chris Millham and Denise Casperson have been instrumental in encouraging Bella Coola residents to reg-ister their organs for donation. At the BC Service Centre, those wishing to register themselves can pick up an organ donation card and pop it in the mail, ensuring that their organs will be donated to those in need.
The award was presented by Rhonda
Morton and Darren Dettling, whose daughter Challaine was born without functioning kidneys and spent two years on dialysis until she grew strong enough and big enough for a transplant. Rhonda is now a volunteer with the Kidney Foundation of Canada.
Challaine Dettling-Morton’s remarkable story is well known in Bella Coola, and has almost certainly proved to be a catalyst for local people to reg-ister as organ donors.
“Our family has experienced this very dire situation, where our daughter Challaine was born in April 2009 with end-stage kid-ney failure,” Rhonda shared.
“The odds were against us many times, and it was tough, but she smiled and blew
everyone her kisses everywhere. She was a happy girl despite the internal turmoil.”
Challaine spent almost her entire first two years of life on dialysis. Peritoneal dialysis began on her third day of life. Hemodialysis took over once the peritoneal stopped working, and she underwent three-hour sessions, four days a week, leaving her with only one day free from the invasive process.
“The machine removed her entire blood volume twelve and a half times each session before she would become too toxic for herself again,” explained Rhonda. “It’s amazing, dialysis kept her alive for 26 months.”
Challaine’s father Darren began rounds of testing to see if he
was a match for organ donation and incred-ibly, he was.
“We received the good news on my birthday, June 8, 2011,” said Rhonda’ brother, Ray Morton.
“Rhonda told me when we were sit-ting in the lobby in Children’s Hospital. I have so much respect for them as parents, they’ve been through so much.”
After spending a total of two years as an inpatient of Vancouver Children’s Hospital, Challaine is now an active six-year old, enjoying school, family life, and discovering her world.
She will have to take anti-rejection drugs for the rest of her life, but she is dialysis free and it has changed her life forever.

Heiltsuk matriarch Pat Housty was hon-oured in Bella Bella late last month for 44 years of business service to her com-munity.
Housty was the manager of the Bella Bella Band Store for over 40 years, weath-ering all sorts of of cri-ses, managing dozens of staff, and always finding the time to do more.
Housty served on the Heiltsuk Band Council, as a trustee on the Economic Development Corporation and helped raise money for a multitude of causes and commu-nity events. The com-munity could always count on Housty to help at potlatches, weddings, funerals, high school grads and
more; she was a tire-less community sup-porter.
Bella Bella held a celebration for Pat on September 30, 2015. Letters of acknowl-edgment poured in from Premier Christy Clark, Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation, John Rustad, and the District Officer of the RCMP.
“People like my Auntie Pat have set the bar, laid the foundation, set the standard so to speak and have modelled a way forward for us to follow as leaders of our community,” said her nephew Reg Moody “These great people of her genera-tion have showed us that it’s not about us as individuals but us as a Nation for our
Nation.”Housty was recog-
nized as a “visionary leader,” “authentic to the bone,” and a “con-summate profession-al.” Her colleagues frequently lauded her remarkable skill at developing strategic initiatives, but at the same time, recognized – and appreciated – her willingness to “get her hands dirty.”
Now that she’s offi-cially “retired” Housty plans to relax and spend quality time with her family and grandchildren.

Wellness ReThink With Pastor Cameron Johnston
Bella Coola Seventh-day Adventist Church
Last weekend I had the marvelous opportunity to meet Rick Hanson, the “Man in Motion”. Now in his late 50s, he continues to be an amazing example of wellness.
As an athletic, carefree teenager at age 15 an accident left him a paraplegic.
Rick saw his situation as a challenge to overcome. He became an elite wheelchair athlete and competed for Cana-da in the 1984 Olympics in LA.
In 1985, motivated by his success, and a desire to make a difference in how people with a disability were perceived, he embarked on the record setting Man in Motion World Tour and became a Canadian hero.
Wellness is the harmonious development of the whole person spiritually, emotionally, relationally, physically, intellec-tually and professionally.
My favorite definition is “wellness is creating constant personal renewal where we recognize and act on the truth that each day is a miraculous gift and our job is to untie the ribbons.”
To fully enjoy wellness many of us need a NEWSTART® which includes
N – Excellent Nutrition
E – Regular Exercise
W – Pure Water S – Sunlight in Moderation T – Temperance in All Things
A – Fresh Air
R – Daily and Weekly Rest T – Trust in God
My friend Phil Brewer, the director of the Silver Hills Lifestyle Centre calls these the 8 natural doctors.
Mr. Brewer will be in Bella Coola in November. Don’t miss this opportunity for a wellness NEWSTART. For full info email: [email protected] or call 250.267.1660.

As for her father, Darren has noticed very few side effects from the donation of his kidney, saying he is hiking mountains
and keeps a very nor-mal activity level.
“The only thing I noticed is that I get thirsty more often,” he shared. “Challaine’s doing amazing, and
that’s all that matters.”“Your family has
shown an amazing degree of courage, it’s very inspirational,” said BC Service Centre employee
Chris Millham. Have you regis-
tered to be an organ donor? Right now there are over 500 people in BC wait-ing for a life saving
organ transplant, and almost 400 of those are waiting for a kid-ney. Sadly many of these patients will die waiting.
95 percent of
British Columbians say they support organ donation but only 19 percent have actually registered on BC’s organ donor registry. The Kidney
Foundation of Canada has committed to increase organ donor registration and kid-ney transplants by 50 percent over the next five years.

CCRD “Minutes in a Minute” for October 2015
A6 Coast Mountain News Thursday, October 22, 2015
BY ERNEST HALL
For the fifth time since 2006, Nathan Cullen will be repre-senting Bella Coola and the Central Coast as he returns to Ottawa as Member of Parliament for Skeena-Bulkley Valley – the largest riding in British Columbia
In an election which saw the federal New Democratic Party under leader Thomas Mulcair move from its position as Official Opposition into third place nation-wide and the Liberals under Justin Trudeau sweep-ing the election in its move from third place
to form a majority gov-ernment, Cullen once again tipped the scales at more than 50 per cent in what he called a “bittersweet” win.
As the results came in, Cullen told a media conference linked by telephone that his feelings were “mixed” between disappoint-ment in the national upset contrasting with his relief that “the poli-tics of fear has been rejected” for a “much more progressive agen-da”, noting in particular that with Trudeau and the Liberals, Canada has a Prime Minister who has publicly opposed the Enbridge Northern Gateway Project.
Cullen attributed his win to the hard work of volunteers in the riding and the fact that his supporters didn’t take for granted the NDP’s strong position at the outset of the 11-week campaign – the third longest campaign in Canadian history. He speculated that the length of the campaign could partly explain his party’s huge loss nation-wide, saying “the results would have been different” if the election had been held three weeks earlier.
Noting that the Liberals presented a very progressive plat-form that could have come from the NDP, he pointed to Mulcair’s
stand on the “niqab issue” as a partial explanation for the NDP’s fall in the polls. (Mulcair had defended a woman’s right to wear the face-conceal-ing garment in citi-zenship ceremonies, contrary to the position of Stephen Harper and the Conservatives.)
While pointing out the “negative politics around the niqab issue”, Cullen said he was nevertheless “very proud of the principled stand our party con-tinued to make even if it meant losing. We are not a party that is going to try and win at all costs.”
With reference to issues in his own rid-ing, Cullen pointed to a need for a review of the federal subsidy granted to British Columbia for operating the ferry service on the North and Central Coast. He pledged to make this matter “front and cen-tre” with his return to Ottawa.
He also intends to “hold their (the Liberals’) feet to the fire” on their stated opposition to the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline proj-ect and on investigat-ing the cases of missing aboriginal women and girls. He also intends to “nail the Liberals down” on their posi-tion on natural gas development in the region.
"Clean energy investment, the inquiry
into murdered and missing aboriginal women and girls, these are the kinds of things we fought for, some of the things that the Liberal party has adopted," he said. "Now they have to see them through. So our commitment is going to be very sincere in keeping them going."
As for his future in Ottawa, Cullen said he sees his role in the much diminished NDP caucus as “tell-ing the story about the Northwest” and working for his con-stituents, and that a bid for national leadership of the NDP is “the fur-thest thought on my mind”. (Cullen ran for
the leadership in the contest to replace for-mer leader Jack Layton who resigned over fail-ing health prior to his death in 2011).
For the moment, Cullen added: “I’m going to see my kids and have a normal meal again. We put almost 20,000 kilome-tres on the car. It was a long, long campaign. I’m just focused in on phoning my colleagues . . . and seeing how everyone is doing.”
Meanwhile, Tyler Nesbitt, Cullen’s Conservative chal-lenger who took 25 pe rcent of the vote, pledged to help Cullen advance the interests of the rid-ing with the new Liberal government, and Liberal candi-date Brad Layton, who finished the race with 20 per cent was pleased with his party’s national win. Green party candidate Jeannie Parnell won 3.6 per cent of the vote and the Christian Heritage Party’s Don Spratt drew in 1.8 per cent.

As the election results rolled in it was very obvi-ous that Canadians wanted change, and they got it. In a historic win, Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party swept to power on Monday night, winning 184 seats after starting the arduous 78-day campaign in third place.
Harper’s Conservatives took control of 99 seats, and the NDP suf-fered a serious blow, losing over 70 seats and ending up with 44. Green Party leader Elizabeth May retained her seat and the Bloc Quebecois won 10 seats.
In B.C.’s north-west Nathan Cullen, who arguably holds some of the most popular support in his riding anywhere across the country, was easily re-elected with over 50 percent of the vote.
This election saw historic voter turnout - an esti-mated 68 percent of registered voters took to the polls. The Liberal party saw the most gains, winning every single seat in Atlantic Canada and taking back almost all of the Quebec seats the NDP won in the 2011 election.
Overall, the
Liberals gained 150 seats, the Conservatives lost 67, and the NDP lost 59. Bruce Anderson, one of CBC’s At Issue pan-elists, called Justin Trudeau’s ascent to prime minister as a “campaign for the ages.” It’s true that Trudeau is the son of a former PM, but he defied great odds to win.
The Liberals started the cam-paign with a mere 37 seats in the House of Commons and were polling in third place. But once the ballots were all counted, the Liberals had taken 184 seats.
Trudeau’s astounding success also highlights the reversals of for-tune for both the Conservatives, who have governed since 2006, and the NDP, who were first in the polls going into this 11-week campaign.
Expectations are high on the young PM-elect, who is now the second-youngest Prime Minister in Canadian history, being elected at age 43. Only Joe Clark was younger when he was elected at age 39 in 1979.
Trudeau delivered an optimistic victory speech, sticking with the positive theme he pushed through-out the campaign and thanking the people for what he
called “their win.”“Real change has
come to Canada, and it's because of you,” said Trudeau. “Your knocks and calls. Your dona-tions. Your support on social media. And most impor-tantly, your votes. From every last candidate, to every last volunteer, donor and supporter, remember: I didn’t make history. You did.”

PRESS RELEASE
The re-estab-lished Bella Coola Human-Bear Safety Committee held their inau-gural meeting on August 13 at the Hagensborg airport boardroom. The vision of this com-mittee is to ensure people and bears safely co-exist in the Bella Coola Valley.
The committee’s mission is to pro-vide strategic lead-ership as a problem solving, planning and review body to increase human safety through pre-vention and reso-lution of human-caused bear con-flicts.
The purpose of the Bella Coola Human-Bear Safety
Committee is to provide a forum for sharing informa-tion and divergent views on the issues related to human-bear conflicts.
The commit-tee will develop, facilitate and pro-mote proactive, community-based solutions that will reduce conflicts and increase safety for both people and bears, develop conflict preven-tion strategies and maintain best prac-tices for minimizing human-bear con-flicts, and develop effective communi-cations and public outreach programs for minimizing human-bear con-flict.
The committee will also research and pilot proj-ects related to
human-bear con-flict, including research subjects, research methods and research fund-ing, develop and maintain efficient systems for moni-toring, collecting and managing conflict informa-tion and data, and coordinate, review and recommend funding proposals or requests related to human-bear con-flict reduction.
The initial focus of the commit-tee will be on bear conflicts within and adjacent to Bella Coola Valley com-munities as these pose the highest risk to public safety.
Membership includes local representatives from the Nuxalk First Nation, DFO, the RCMP, the
BC Conservation Foundation WildSafeBC Program, the Ministry of Environment, and the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.
Other individu-als, agencies and organizations may be invited to meet-ings that deal with specific issues that fall within their mandates.
A communica-tion strategy will also be developed to ensure the public have an opportu-nity to provide their perspective to com-mittee members, and actions and results of the com-mittee are reported back out.
Meetings will be held approximately once monthly dur-
ing bear season (May - October) with additional meeting as required depending on issues brought forward by the Committee.
Check back here for information arising from the second meeting (which took place October 5) includ-ing current initia-tives and further details regarding the communica-tions strategy.
If you have any questions or con-cerns regarding the Bella Coola Human-Bear Safety Committee please contact the Nuxalk Stewardship Office at [email protected] or Mike Badry, Ministry of Environment at [email protected].

In Memoriam
In loving memory of Jeanne Duarte Suttis
May 6, 1922 ~ October 15, 2014
Day You Went Away
Today’s the anniversaryOf the day that I lost you,
And for a time it felt as though
My life had ended too.
But loss has taught me many things
And now I face each day,With hope and happy
memoriesTo help me on my way.
And though I’m full of sadness
That you’re no longer here,
Your infl uence still guides me
And I still feel you near.
What we shared will never die
It lives within my heart,Bringing strength and
comfortWhile we are apart.
Very sadly missed by your family.
