But. accirating to Bil both of these extremes are.) “illusions”. The truth lies somewhere in the middle.. Bill “Teaching i in: - the Great - White North J ust about every winter for’ the’ last three ¥ Bil | heir dally schedule was “kind of. atrenuows”, he PAS says, Most of the students had two or three courses which rap eight hours'a day five days'a week. Last year Bill ,, taught -a Land Claims. course which: ran ‘eight hours straight. To make it interesting,’ he brought in various groups which’ were currently in land claims disputes. Many of 20 or so students in his class. were, I found “ty sponsored’ by. Canadian ‘industries, such as Petro-Canada. Same:were there as a part of Fish and Wildlife, or other Canadian resource organizations, Completing the course; the students ended up with a two-year certificate. The students were mostly adult”, ‘who. were trying to further their education. I asked if there was a noticeable difference: between Selkirk students and his northern ones. He replied that all of the Sloan, Selkirk’ College History instructor, has been taking «his teaching’skills up north — way up north to Fort Smith ‘in the.Northwest, Territories.'He spent over a month’ every winter in that town of about 2,500, which is located about 800. miles north of Edmonton: on- the Alberta dents were really ‘keen to learn. _ “All of us came away with this feeling that this was a very iriendiy and ‘open area. It is'a very challenging area. In teaching, feedback doesn’t ‘come immediately, but up there people -really appreciate you, I had about 20 and quite a few people sat in on my classes.” border. He was a part of the Program"; an instruction service: for . students living’ in‘ northern areas with little access to higher education. Its main purpose is to make the northerners aware, of their own natural'resources, and how 'to:better make use of them in a changing world. In 1977, when Selkirk College was 1 approached about ° becoming part of the program, Bill immediately became interested. He had’a special interest in the north. He had worked up there and he had studied it's people. 3 Three years ago this month, Bill was one of a number of teachers who flew up aorth to teach math upgrading, English, and other, subjects. Bill's field of expertise is history and he. instructed classes in history and Ethno- History. He taught both native.and non-native students and says, “In the north now there is a blending of European and native problems.” Although Bill isn’t sure whether he will be able to make it up there this winter, he'll go if the chance comes . up. He loves.the north, he said, and even the below zero weather doesn't bother him too much. “Last winter it was extremely cold, it never got above 35 degrees below zero. One week it was below 65. You wear parkas and muffle yourself so. you don't freeze.” But even the cold has a beauty about it. Bill claims that some of the most fantastic cross-country ski trails surround the town of Ft, Smith. He even entered a 47 km marathon aki race, which he says laughingly, “Nearly killed me.” But: he'd probably. do it-again. It’s Bill's opinion that people who have never been to the far north have all sorts of misconceptions: about it. “ome here feel. that it’s totally uninhabitable.” Others, he claim have romantic ‘notions about it being our last found’ the hard- -working and interesting. ‘They are a people “who are looking out for themselves. , They develop self-esteem, people get a handle on life up. here and develop self esteem.” But currently Bill is working here in mild Castlegar, teaching four days at the David Thompson University Centre: in-Nelson and-one day-at.Selkirk* College.

Instead, he took a course in soil technology: in Edmonton and became a soil technician. It was his'job to . _test the soil for highway construction, checking for oil and gravel concentration. This would enable the engineers to determine; how’ well. the ‘soil would compact for «onstruction. He says that this background in soils has been an advantage to him in his own garden now. I asked about the soil around here and learned that it is “fairly good, but has a very thin layer of top soll. You nesd to build up the humus layer.” On his small farm, Bill keeps chicken and geese.which do a nice job of this. In 1960, Bill visited a friend in Nakusp, got a summer job, and decided to stay and “study my hobby” as he puts it, which has always been history. He enrolled in Notre Dame in Nelson where he studied history for three years NORTHERN CHALLENGE: . . Bill-Sloan faces a challenge when he takes his teaching skills up nor- here ever since. In 1977 Bill took time out and began again to work toward his PhD. This has been a long process, but for Bill, it is just about onded. He has enjoyed tho area and working with Elsine to remodel the old Gibson Creek School, which has become their home, and which they are “still renovating.” Elaine is the head nurse at the Castlegar Hospital and the Sloans have two daughters; Seanagh, 14 and Paige, 12. Bill's childhood enthusiasm for hockey hasn't waned, and for the past four years he’s played twice a week in the Gentlemens’ Hockey League. Previously, he played commerical hockey in the Castlegar area. He also enjoys woodworking and photography. He used to be a member of the Koot ing Club and still likes under. instructors “who gave a diff There was a strong group of clerics there who knew history.” He continued, “There's always one person who will give you the personal confidence you need to carry on.” It was in Nelson that Bill met such a person and was encouraged to continue his study of history. Bill finished his Masters in history at the University: of Victoria, Then he was off to Queen's University in Ontario where he started preparatory work for his PhD in Northern Historical. Studies. Thirteen years ago, before he could complete it, he was offered the job at Selkirk College, and he and his wife Elaine, have been nothing better than‘when he and Elaine and their two girls can get out in the bush for a hike, maybe ending up at a creek where Bill can get in a few casts with his fly rod. They hike,-ski, camp and climb. Because Seanagh and Paige play softball, Bill coaches a girl's team each spring. Besides being his job, history is still Bill’s main : hobby. He was on the early committees to organize the Doukhobor Historical Society. He says, he is “heavily involved in heritage work”, and is a part of a provincial organization to preserve our local spots of history. estaba tiens 117.
