The Science 10/11 group, SAMS Outdoor Ed Group, and Junior Canadian Rangers group on the Hakai dock, ready to leave for Bella Coola after a great week on Calvert Island!
Bella Coola Valley youth groups journey to Hakai SAMS TEACHERS Calvert Island is located east of Queen Charlotte Sound about 100 kilometres north of Port Hardy. It falls within the traditional territory of the Heiltsuk and Wuikinuxv peoiple, and archaeological evidence indicates many thousands of years of habitation in the region. Just north of Calvert Island in Hakai Pass is the Hakai Luxvbalis Conservancy Area. At more than 1,230 square kilometres (300,000 acres) of land and sea, it is the largest provincial marine protected area on the British Columbia Coast. Hakai Provincial Recreation Area, 50,707 ha in size, includes
the northern part of Calvert Island and the southern part of Hunter Island, as well as numerous smaller islands in the area. The Hakai Institute occupies an isolated 87 ha site on the exposed Pacific edge of the world's largest temperate zone rainforest, surrounded by the Hakai Luxvbalis Conservancy. The austere Hakai landscape has been sculpted by the hurricane-force storms and fierce Arctic outflow winds that lash the site during much of the year. Since Kristina and Eric became the new owners of the Institute they have transformed a fishing lodge into a science educational facility to support
new scientists to further their research. From May19 through 24, three groups of Valley youth got to experience this world-class site. Following are some reports of the experience. Enjoy! Hakai: SAMS Science 10/11 I am pleased to report that the inaugural Hakai Science Trip out to Calvert Island was a huge success! This trip involved the SAMS Science 10 and Biology 11 students travelling by boat from Bella Coola out to the Hakai Beach Institute on Calvert Island for 6 days. Each day we woke up at 6am and didn’t stop until it got dark; it was no surprise that I didn’t have to
hustle these students to get to bed! The trip was a combination of learning and exploring the unique coastal ecosystem that comprises Calvert Island: from photo-documenting 50 different intertidal species on the beach, to learning scientific field skills from many of the world class scientists working out at Hakai, this was a trip to remember for a life time! Here are some of the students’ favorite moments from the trip when asked what the best part of their day was; “Finding an abalone shell, swimming in the ocean, and hiking from beach to beach,” said Melissa Brooks. “Building a raft in the
ocean…and chasing starfish,” said Morgan Durocher. “Collecting and drying edible seaweed,” said Kasey Karran. As a science educator, the opportunities for hands on, high quality instruction were endless out at the Hakai Beach Institute, whose mandate is to promote and facilitate scientific study using sustainable practices. SAMS students were treated to lectures and field tours by many of the world class scientists from UBC, SFU, and many other institutions. Topics they spoke of included “Local Effects of Climate Change,” “Sand Dune Science,” SEE HAKAI ON PAGE 3

Hakai! Watch out for that wave! CONTINUED FROM

“Sustainable Infrastructure of Hakai Beach Institute,” and many more. As Hakai Beach Institute has only been running for three years, SAMS students had the honour of being the first school group to utilize this incredible educational facility. We would like to express our deep gratitude for the generosity Hakai Beach Institute’s staff and visiting scientists have shown us, both in science education and in food and lodging. Thanks especially to the Institute’s owners, Eric Peterson and Christina Munk as well as their educational coordinator Helen Moats. In addition, I would like to thank SD 49 and the SAMS PAC for their support of this trip as well as Mr. Baillie, Mr. Boileau and the Outdoor Ed. Class for sharing their time, expertise, fire pit, marshmallows, and great attitude with us. I would also like to thank my chaperones Dave Kopas and Irene Isaacs; they were invaluable to the trip. Overall though, this experience would not have been the success it was if it had not been for the students who participated. Their excellent attitudes towards inquiry, adventure, scientific endeavor, and trying new things shone very brightly out there. So thank you Melissa Brooks, Morgan Durocher, Drake Gignac, Kasey Karran, Connor Kopas, Carrigan Tallio, and Cheyanne Anderson for making
this a trip to remember! Hakai: SAMS Outdoor Education Class “Hakai!” means “wide passage” in Heiltsuk, or could be interpreted as a warning for a big wave about to end its journey on the beach: watch out for that wave! Hakai! This year we left the comfortable confines of West Beach for the remote outposts of Calvert Island. With the white sand beaches, craggy rock faces and warm weather, the trip could have easily been mistaken for a holiday to Thailand, except this was no holiday! The group decided to break camp, and we immediately began exploring the pristine surroundings. Students decided it was solo time on Day 2 since weather was predicted to break down later in the week. Dan AKA “Wolfbait”, since he brought a bag of crabs from home with him on the hike (thank-you for the treat!), had a great solo site next to our basecamp; however, he pointed out later that there were not only wolf tracks near camp, but there was also a den nearby in the driftwood piles. Good thing Dan is tough, and thrived in his element. Kerie AKA Crash Currie was in a very remote solo site, and was up late into the night having a keen eye on the tide levels near his camp. At least he had a couple of safety exits. He also saw a wolf (maybe it came from Dan’s camp?).
Kerie has done a solo before but remarked that it was much more intense and challenging than his experience last year. Kerie also packed out a 50 pound logging boom chain for me that I found on my solo site, and that I was going to keep in class, however somebody pirated it on the main trail to West beach. Sheldon AKA “Moose” was on 7th beach. Having built numerous “t-pees” in the past he broke from the mould and designed a log home shelter with a door. Sheldon’s quiet and humble nature allowed him to get the most of this experience, which was vastly different than his grade 10 solo in Turner Lake. The chaperones also had a solo experience and got to hone their fire lighting skills without using matches. They also built and designed shelters as good as some that I’ve seen students build (the bar keeps getting set higher) and enjoyed some peace, solitude, and reflection on being in such an incredible place on the Central Coast, and in our backyard. The other highlights included survival skills training, catching crabs from the sea-kayak, trying out the new skim board, kayaking, wet exit training (everybody loves this), beach time, intertidal walks, fishing and sweats. The leadership and peer mentorship from Dan, Kerie, and Sheldon was outstanding and I am very grateful we had the opportunity to go. With the
smaller group we were able to scout out new locations and opportunities for future trips. Reflecting on the trip, I think it was such a great opportunity to be out and share it with the science group. The two groups merged on many occasions, strengthening and adding to the students’ entire Hakai experience. Both groups also did work for Hakai Institute in exchange for the support that was given and incredible food. Interestingly enough, many wanted to be eating back on the beach with the sound of the waves, open air and good food (did I mention we ate Moose Burgers?). We will be doing a slideshow presentation tentatively Thursday June 14th from 7:309pm in the NES gym. All proceeds will be split between the Science and OE program. There will be live entertainment during the intermission. Baked goods, tea, or coffee will be available to purchase as well. SAMS Outdoor Ed program would like to thank SD 49 for their support, School Board, Jeremy Baillie, Williams Lake and District Credit Union, Hakai Institute, Tamara Hynd, BC Parks, Eric Peterson, Christina

Dire straits for the Bella Coola Valley Arts Council? BETH JAY The Arts Council is holding its AGM on June 19, but this year, perhaps more than any other, it is important for anyone and everyone who has an interest in the arts to come out to support the Arts Council. Like many Valley organizations, the group relies on dedicated volunteers for everything. More importantly at this time, however, is the fact that key executive members are leaving the Valley this year, creating a void in leadership, and putting the future of the Arts Council at risk. The Arts Council has been active in the Valley for over thirty years. About a dozen years ago, the group acquired The Art House, and events have centered around this small, quaint house since then. The last few years, the Arts
Council decided to base its programming on hosting one event per month. These events have included film nights (remember Christoph Massot, the adventurous Frenchman and filmmaker?), author talks (most recently with Chris Czajkowski), workshops (including photography and the art of drawing mandalas), decadent deserts (CHOCOLATE!!), and the piano lounge. The events are generally small, but always well attended. The Arts Council supports local artists by hosting solo shows. These shows always include an opening reception on the Friday evening for the artist and invited guests (let us know if you would like us to feature YOUR art!), followed by two days for the public to view the art. Shows have included painting, photography, and Nuxalk artists. The Arts Council holds annual
events, such as the Arts and Crafts Fair in November, and who hasn’t enjoyed a delicious lasagne dinner on the Saturday night? The June Visual Arts Show is another yearly event which features local artists showing off their work in many different mediums. Every year, one piece of art is chosen for purchase by the Arts Council for their permanent collection. The Arts Council has partnered with other local groups for collaborative events. This includes working with School District #49 to host concerts, and with the Discovery Coast Music Festival to host bands such as Rumba Calzada, and most recently, Soupbone. The group has also partnered with the Sustainable Agriculture Society for the Art in the Garden, Music in the Garden, and Word in the Garden events, followed by potluck dinners at the Art House.
For a few summers, the Art House was run as a café, providing a summer job and small business venture for several people. Currently, the Art House is run as an art gallery, with volunteer Lucille Thompson keeping the doors open several days a week for locals and tourists to see and purchase Valley art work. Do you value the arts? Do you like organizing? Do you have creative ideas? Are you a potential leader? Do you like to volunteer? You don’t have to be an artist or musician to join the group. What we need are more volunteers, and a leader with lots of creative ideas. So, if you’re out there, please come to the AGM. The meeting will be short (promise!), there will be beverages and nibblies, and we hope the future of the Arts Council will continue to be a reality with your help!
Changes coming up for CBC broadcasting CHRISTINA BOUCHER In response to budget cuts approved by the Harper government, the CBC and Radio-Canada plan to switch off more than 600 analog transmitters countrywide on July 31. Canadians outside major cities will lose free access to the CBC TV and possibly CBC Radio over the air using bunny ears or rooftop antennas. John Morton, volunteer director of the Hagensborg TV and Radio Society that provides radio and
C
uncoded television for the Hagensborg area, comments: “I think it's vital that we alert people to the termination of CBC TV in the Valley (and hundreds of other rural communities across the country) on July 31. This is a direct consequence of the budget cuts from a government that dislikes public broadcasting [and so has decided that] something has to go. Citizens should be outraged that access to a national service that might be the most unifying factor in the country, will now be
selective based on geography and population.” As a result of this legislation, rural Canadians may be forced into subscription radio and TV services, only able to access communications that their taxes have already subsidized or that they have purchased privately. One issue besides the withdrawn broadcasting service to rural communities is the withdrawal of CBC equipment from affected areas. The Hagensborg TV Society is beginning discussions with CBC about the possibility of an equipment transfer so that the
Society may continue rebroadcasting CBC TV (Channel 11) from the Mt. Nusatsum site. Morton comments, “The Hagensborg TV Society might be able to take over the CBC rebroadcasting service for the upper Valley, but it would need financial support to do so, and the co-operation of the CBC and the CRTC - neither of which is guaranteed.” The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has begun a public consultation on the CBC’s plans. The deadline for submissions is June 18. Morton also urges concerned Valley citi-

zens to speak up on a political level: “The person that really needs to hear from you is Dick Harris, the MP whose constituency includes Hagensborg east.” Community rebroadcasting exists in dozens of small towns in Canada. Here in the Valley, Hagensborg TV and Radio is a registered not-for-profit society comprised of about 100 members and eight volunteer directors. They operate the radio and uncoded TV system for the Hagensborg area by collecting membership fees, purchasing signals, and maintaining the receiving and transmitting equipment on Mt. Nusatsum. The CBC site on Four Mile Mountain is adjacent to Central Coast Communications Society equipment, and the CCCS is in the process of assessing the cost-benefit analysis of taking over the equipment to continue rebroadcasting on analog channels. However, newer technology is quickly becoming available to provide communications in
rural areas. Digital technologies such as wireless Internet are more powerful than analog radio, and also consume less energy to run, making digital communications a more environmentally friendly route by which to access media such as CBC radio and television. In 2003 the government formed Network BC, with a mandate to bridge the digital divide and connect B.C. communities. TELUS works with Network BC with an aim of fulfilling that mandate. In April 2005, the Government of BC, TELUS, and local health regions, schools and crown corporations delivered an agreement to bridge the digital divide by connecting communities, and creating new health care, education, and economic development opportunities in the province. In 2008, the Connecting Communities Agreement (CCA) was extended for two years to ensure that Internet Service Providers accessing services under the Agreement could continue to access affordable, high speed service.

In addition to their day-to-day operations in providing dial-up and high speed Internet services to Valley residents, the CCCS also networks with Telus and Network BC to advocate for increased connectivity for their customers. Some exciting developments may be on the horizon for current and future CCCS high speed users – look for news in the coming issues of the Coast Mountain News to learn more. In short, the bad news is that CBC TV may be on the way out for Valley residents (like me) who still use archaic bunny ear receivers or regular analogue antennas, but the good news is that Radio will still be accessible at 88.1 FM for some time. The even better news is that Valley residents may start to see increased speeds on the Internet over the next year (and therefore increased access to television and radio over the Internet). Right now, I’m streaming CBC Radio using my basic service package from the CCCS, and it works like a champ.

Nuxalk Nation receive DFO presentation of SARA process CHRISTINA BOUCHER On the evening of April 24, the Nuxalk Nation received a presentation from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) on the potential listing of the eulachon as ‘Endangered’ under the Species at Risk Act (SARA). The Nuxalk community was represented by many concerned community members, elders, hereditary chiefs and Council members. DFO was represented by presenter Heather Brekke, a Marine Species at Risk Recovery Planner. Brekke was accompanied by independent discussion facilitator Mark Fulton. Member of the Nuxalk Nation and biologist specializing in the eulachon Megan Moody served as host and co-facilitator for the evening. The evening opened with a showing of the1964 film “Grease: Ooligan in the Bella Coola River,” directed by the late Al Elsey, a long-time Bella Coola Valley resident. The film served as a documentation of the process of making eulachon grease from harvesting the fish to purifying the rendered grease and cleaning out the stink boxes. Following the film was a presentation by Jason Moody on behalf of the 2012 Eulachon Study team. Jason focused on describing the study methods and the unique challenges associated with taking samples in the river. He also presented relative biomass data of the eulachon in the Bella Coola River inclusive of the years 2001-2010. Relative biomass is a measurement that describes the tracking of abundance trends, and is different than absolute biomass, which is a measurement that describes the exact number of eulachon returning. It should be noted that abundance should be tracked in tons, and not kilograms, which is the current measurement for the Bella Coola River eulachon stock. Eulachon relative biomass from 2010 was estimated at approximately 25 kg. Jason noted that the floods of 2010 and 2011 had a significant impact on the river, and that data analysis for the 2011 and 2012 are currently in progress. Brekke began a presentation on the SARA listing process, stating that she hoped “First Nation voices, knowledge and wisdom would be present throughout the process,” noting DFO’s policy to include Aboriginal Traditional Knowledge (ATK) in their process decisions. Throughout the evening, many audience members inquired as to how their comments and knowledge would be used by DFO. Brekke did not offer an exact answer to this question, although she thanked the various
audience members for their comments. Facilitator Mark Fulton noted that he would be writing a report on the evening’s discussion. He actively took notes on a large note pad throughout the evening, and would often confirm with audience members that he was writing down their spoken points correctly. After holding consultations with First Nations groups in 2011 on the topic of how to consult for a potential SARA listing of the eulachon, DFO defined their future SARA process as follows: Through the winter to the summer of 2012, DFO will hold consultations in specific First Nation communities. From the fall of 2012 through the winter of 2013, DFO will hold general public consultations. A socioeconomic analysis of a SARA listing will be conducted in the spring of 2013, and more public consulta-
SAMS Track Meet a success SAMS STAFF Sir Alexander Mackenzie School would like to thank all the volunteers who helped make the 2012 District Track Meet a huge success. Our 44th annual was well attended by the community with more ‘Open’ (age 19+) category entries than ever. Some of the highlights included the Juvenile and Open Men’s Discus, Bantam Girls and Peewee Boys 100m Sprint, Tyke Boys High Jump and the 4 x 100m relay. The new finish line allowed for better spectator enjoyment and louder cheering. Congratulations to all who participated. We are looking forward to expanding next year’s meet with more events and participation from other schools, parents and volunteers. So mark our track meet in your calendar for next year as an event not to be missed.
86
tions will be held in late 2013. The above schedule may be extended based on issues that arise throughout the process. At the end of consultations, DFO will make a recommendation to the Minister of the Environment to: list the eulachon as endangered, not list as endangered, or refer the issue back to COESWIC. The Minister will then make the final decision. Many issues were discussed, and many concerns were voiced about management of the eulachon moving forward. One point was clear: regardless of how DFO moves ahead with their SARA process, the Nuxalk Nation has the goal of working with the Kitasoo and Wuikinuxv Nations to create and implement a community-made Central Coast eulachon management and recovery plan. At the conclusion of the meeting, Megan Moody expressed the key points
of the Central Coast First Nation’s eulachon strategy: to protect what remains of the eulachon, to continue to study what has happened to the eulachon and conduct annual assessments, to document the social and cultural impacts of losing eulachon stocks, to ultimately rebuild the stocks, and to have a parallel, community driven process to manage eulachon alongside the DFO process. In the end, it was unclear how the process would move forward throughout the next few years and what involvement the Nuxalk community would have in the SARA process. However, it is safe to say that many more community meetings and discussions with DFO will be needed to ultimately protect and restore the eulachon. Thanks to Megan Moody for her help in writing this article.

Sir Alexander Mackenzie School Graduation
The Sir Alexander Mackenzie School graduation on June 2 began with the clouds parting just enough to allow for Mike Wigle to work his photography magic taking photos of the grads and their escorts in Verna Mikkelson’s beautiful garden. A simple, elegantly decorated grad ceremony was held this year in Lobelco Hall. On the night previous, the Grads were catered to a lovely meal by the Bella Coola Eagle Lodge. Master of Ceremonies Scott Barnes did a wonderful job of keeping the show moving forward. Speeches were given by Superintendent Denise Perry, Board of Education Trustee Marisa Blewett, Hereditary Chief Noel Pootlass and guest speaker SAMS Principal Jeremy Baillie. Graduate Brody Tuck, accompanied by band teacher Steve Dishkin on the piano, sang a beautiful home-spun rendition of Sugarland’s song Baby Girl that we’re sure made more than a few eyes fill up with tears. If that didn’t bring on some watery eyes, the annual grad slideshow no doubt did as the audience was treated to a visual montage of each graduate from baby to grad. The slideshow always marks the transition from the more formal side of the ceremonies to the lighter side as the graduates themselves take to the stage to give their speeches. Class Valedictorian, Brody Tuck, gave a wonderful speech speaking to the idea building one’s future on a firm foundation. Kerie Currie and Marissa Charlie had both their fellow grads and the audience laughing in their role as class historians. Next, Frank Tallio and Talia Pootlass thanked the various speakers and volunteers who made the grad
such a success. Lastly, Constable Jason Archer gave a very personable congrats to the Grads and in return earned himself a salute from Graduate Frank Tallio. Before the show wrapped up, local gardener extraordinaire Verna Mikkelson was honoured fittingly with some flowers for donating the use of her garden for grad photos for over 20 years. Verna is moving and it just won’t be the same graduation without the morning stop at her beautiful garden for pictures. Many thanks to: Steve Dishkin, Meredith McIlwain, Shannon Cherry, Caroline Granander, Annika Granander, Mitch and Lorri Tuck, Adrienne Hans, Rita Snow, Jasmine Edgar, Kasey Karran, Ashley Moore, Vicki Tuck, Jeremy Baillie, Melanie Kloss, SAMS Senior Band, Elmer Ratcliff, Mark Chatham, Ron Nygaard, True Value Hardware, Mike Wigle, Bella Coola Eagle Lodge, June Vosburgh, Lobelco Hall, Oran Hoppe, Scott Barnes, the Board of Education, Denise Perry, Noel Pootlass, Dan Watts, Sara Germain, and Verna Mikkelson.

As Shelley Ambrose, publisher of The Walrus Magazine says: Think of her as Canada’s ear, then add a brain, a heart….and a very recognizable voice. That’s Shelagh Rogers. If you asked Shelagh Rogers what day she would choose to relive, it would be a choice between interviewing Leonard Cohen face-to-face, and going out on the land in the company of the Labrador Inuit in the Torngat Mountains. Those choices reflect what drives Shelagh: the great artists and great people of our great land. Over the years as a host on CBC programs such as Morningside, Sounds Like Canada, and This Morning, Shelagh has traveled the length and breadth of this country, interviewing thousands of Canadians and collecting their stories. That’s her passion and she believes sharing our stories enlarges our understanding of each other. She is currently the host and a producer of the CBC Radio program The Next Chapter, devoted to Canadian writers and songwriters. In the last few years, Shelagh has committed herself to working with the reconciliation process between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people from coast to coast to coast. She plans to devote herself to this project for the rest of her life. Native Counseling Services of Alberta has given her their Achievement in the Aboriginal Community award. She is also proud to have been named, in June 2011, an “Honourary Witness” to the brave and essential work of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. Shelagh holds honorary doctorates from the University of Western Ontario (2001), Mount Allison University (2011) in New Brunswick, and Newfoundland and

The Arts Council is hosting a public event with Shelagh on Saturday, June 16 at 10:30. Come to the Art House for “Coffee and Conversation with Shelagh Rogers.” While she is here, Shelagh will also be speaking at the Qw’asmals Building, speaking at the book club meeting, visiting Acwsalcta School, and attending a memorial feast.
Labrador’s Memorial University (2012). Last September, Shelagh became an Officer of the Order of Canada, the country’s highest civilian honour, for promoting Canada’s rich culture, for her volunteer work in adult literacy, for fighting against the stigma of mental illness, and for working toward reconciliation. She is the first-ever Ambassador-at-Large for the Canadian Canoe Museum in Peterborough. Shelagh is also a “Transforming Lives Award” winner for speaking publicly about a private story: a decades-long battle with depression. It is Shelagh’s passion for the reconciliation process that connects her with Bella Coola, through Acwsalcta high school teacher, Lillian Jones. Several years ago, Shelagh interviewed Lillian and her family for a CBC radio documentary about residential school survivors, and Shelagh and Lillian have remained friends ever since. Lillian is a member of a local book club here in the valley, and Shelagh is co-editor of a recently published book entitled, “Speaking My Truth: Reflections on Reconciliation & Residential School” which is the book club’s current read. So Shelagh decided she wanted to come to Bella Coola and speak at the book club meeting.
