12th Annual Discovery Coast Music Festival Shines BY TAHIRIH GOFFIC Celebrating its 12th year, the Discovery Coast Music Festival was once again a fun filled, exuberant celebration of song and dance, culture, diversity and community. The light drizzle that accompanied the soothing sounds of some of Canada’s best folk singers didn’t stop the festival attendants from enjoying every minute. With an exciting lineup comprised of almost every possible genre from blues, avant garde folk singing, plains Cree hiphop and Afro-jazz fusion, there was something for every kind of
music lover. The mix reminded us that music doesn’t have to be mainstream to be absolutely riveting. Saturday was closed by headliner The New Odds (formerly The Odds), a great band that holds many Juno nominations and songs on the top charts. They rocked us out the gates late that evening - not kicking and screaming, but dancing and singing. I encourage everybody to check out Jesse Dee and Jacquie B, hailing from Wells, B.C., and their sidekick, Scott Cook, from Edmonton. They’ve developed two distinct sounds: rocking
folk/jazz, and beautiful vocal harmonies accompanied by melodic electric guitar. Lindsay Knight, aka, Eekwol, is Canada’s first solo Aboriginal female hip hop artist. A member of the Muskoday Cree First Nation, she was the winner of the First Nations Award for Arts and Entertainment in 2008. With her down to earth sincerity and unselfconscious attitude, and her driving hip hop rhythms, she had us up dancing and grooving for the duration of her performance. Andrea Koziol is definitely an original. Imagine Jane Siberry, Sarah McLachlan, and Loreena
McKennitt, all rolled into one amazing, fire-ball woman. Performing in bare feet and ripped jeans, as at ease on stage as you might imagine her to be in her own home, she sang her lungs out with honest passion. Aside from the wildly energetic live show by Mr. Something Something, this band is becoming increasingly well-known for its green politics and environmental activism. Their music is a rich cacophony of African beats and infectious grooves, their vibrant horn lines rolling through passionate vocals promoting a strong social conscience. And with the
bafflingly co-ordinated acrobatics of the lead singer, you can’t help but feel the vibe and get up and dance. 2009 Juno winners Digging Roots transfixed us with the sensational guitar playing of Raven Kanatakta and his partner and wife, Shoshona Kish, who wowed us with her amazing vocals. With their cross-genre sound, somewhere between rock, blues and hip hop, and their sweet onstage chemistry, I was left wanting more long after they left the stage. They won both SEE FESTIVAL ON PAGE 3

World music featured at local festival CONTINUED FROM
PAGE 1
an Aboriginal Peoples Choice Music Award for Best Blues Album, and Native American Music Award for Best pop album in 2010. Jason and Pharis Romero, a husband and wife duo hailing from Horsefly, reminded me of a time long ago, when life was harder, but simpler. When after a long day working in fields, you can finally come home to relax on your porch in the mountains, pull out your guitar and banjo and play a few tunes to welcome the moon into the sky. For the kids, the Kerplunks were
definitely the best children’s entertainers I’ve seen in a long time. They were all about fun, and had the children transfixed and dancing. Their infectious humor and great lyrics were hard to resist, even for the adults. Caley and Nikki Watts serenaded us with their original compositions, and along with Crystal Schooner, a gifted hip hop artist and member of the First Ladies Crew, lent their angel voices to the Earth Tones and Native Voices Workshops. Tom Hammer displayed great talent with his original fingerstyle and flat-picking arrangements. Chris and Lance Nelson shared with us their drum-
ming and a piece of their culture with the Nuxalk Welcome. Weaving through the whole event, just as much a part of the entertainment as the musicians, were Mortal Coil, the fabulously costumed stilt walkers, and The Green Man. Their presence created a sense of myth and magic to the whole weekend. They attracted children like the Pied Piper and it was fascinating to watch the kids, their little round eyes filled with wonder at these mythic creatures: ten foot tall frogs, eagles, or flamenco dancers gracefully striding through the crowd. Clevor Trevor inspired laughter
between sets and on the grounds with his silly antics, juggling feats, humorous discourse, and of course, his unicycle! Many thanks go out to all of our local volunteers who work tirelessly throughout the year, andto our sponsors and funders: without you this festival could not happen! Let’s keep supporting this event so we can enjoy it for years to come. The Discovery Coast Music Festival Committee is always looking for new volunteers If you’d like to be part of it, contact Monica Tutt, Susan O’Neill or Fawn Blake, or email info@bellacoolamusic.org.

Nathan Cullen: On the Coast, Enbridge, and the Hill BY CHRISTINA BOUCHER It’s about 5000 km to Ottawa. For most of us, that’s just too far to travel, especially when we know the water out there isn’t going to taste as good as it does where we live. That’s why we send this guy: Nathan Cullen, Member of Parliament representing the Skeena-Bulkley Valley riding. Cullen was in the Valley this past weekend, chatting with local stakeholders in the Valley Restaurant, meeting with local governing bodies in town, and enjoying the show at the Discovery Coast Music Festival. I met with him in order to get his perspective on some hot topics central to our region. The Skeena-Bulkley Valley riding is one of the largest in the country, at 323,720 square km. This area includes the western half of the Bella Coola Valley, whereas the eastern half (from Augsburg church) is considered part of
the Cariboo-Prince George riding. “The Valley should be represented by one riding or the other – it shouldn’t be divided in two,” says Cullen. “Elections Canada is supposed to go over a realignment of the seats over the next few years.” “What I’ll be advocating for is to make the riding inclusive of residents of Highway 20 up to the Hill to make sure that people are consistently represented. We get loads of letters from people in the Valley outside of the riding because they see me at different events and get to know me. I choose to work on these people’s behalf, because I’m here and the issues are common across the riding line.” With such a large number of communities to represent in the Skeena-Bulkley riding, just how consistently is Bella Coola represented? Cullen responds that the coastal communities are united by their remoteness. “People in my rid-
ing share a common purpose and a common request: connectivity. Being able to feel like you’re in touch and not ignored. “I find people in general care about some pretty common things. It’s affordability, it’s the hope of having a decent job, and decent services: education and health. When I’m out doing community service, those are the consistent issues, and the layers that go on top of that will be dependent on whether I’m in a fishing village, or I’m in a place that ranches, or where the economy is based on something else.” One of the major issues Cullen concerns himself with in Parliament is the Enbridge pipeline project, and the associated threat of offshore supertanker traffic on the Coast. The Enbridge project has three components: the expansion of the oil sands, the installment of 1100 km of pipeline over nearly 1100 rivers in BC, and offshore traffic of

nearly 250 supertankers. The official NDP position on this issue is that the environmental risks outweigh any potential economical benefits for Canadians, especially British Columbians and Albertans living in the watersheds targeted for pipeline installation and supertanker traffic. What does this project mean for people in Bella Coola? Beyond issues of the threat to our natural environment by an event such as an oil spill, Cullen highlights the issue of rural Canada’s lack of a voice in regard to the Enbridge project. “In any of these projects, local communities have some small input but no real influence, and that’s something that we want to change. Enbridge puts your way of life at risk, and you have no say in it whatsoever. So you need to have say. If there’s oil washing up on your shores in the middle of salmon season, you cannot be compensated for that. For tourism, there is no way to bring people back to this valley when you are known as the next Valdez. “It seems strange to me that while being put at risk, the government doesn’t even feign curiosity as to how you feel about that risk. I believe that there should be no decision making without consultation, and there is absolutely no consultation here. I still want people to go and testify, but there should never be any illusions that the government is listening, because they’re not.” Beyond the national issue of Enbridge, Cullen notes other issues that are important to Valley residents: flood mitigation plans, the state of the local economy, and
infrastructure such as the Hill. “I’m a big believer in a Valley-wide plan for flood mitigation,” says Cullen. “I’m hearing that things have changed, with the river up Valley, and the forest on the plateau after the pine beetle, and our thinking had to change with this. We can’t base our planning for the future on information that was used in the past.” Cullen notes that the question of what to do about the Hill gets raised every time he visits the Valley. “If people want to open up a conversation about the road as far as options go, I want to be an advocate for what the community wants. Any alternative routes, any different plans would be expensive, but there’s also a danger and an expense to having an inconsistent route in place now. “In terms of who starts the conversation, it always starts with a few people sitting in a coffee shop saying whether this is a good idea and whether they’re committed to seeing something happen. There’s lots of opinions I understand, there’s no consensus available – that shouldn’t be the goal. But if there’s a feeling that the majority of folks are heading in a direction on some project, I usually engage in that point, when people start putting some proposals together and need funding or political support. For something big, if you want support, it needs to be not just an individual or three people, but a lot more. That’s how anything happens – a music festival, a community centre, anything good – it’s always started by the people.”

Reader concerned about integrity of current land route into Bella Coola Valley TO THE EDITOR For the past number of years I have been working on bringing the public endangerment and safety issues of Highway 20, the section of this road known as "The Hill," to the attention of the government. I recognize that there are many priorities and demands on government. However, following the recent discovery of a vehicle over the edge of this road that had been there for some unknown time with a person's body inside, coupled with recent rock slides, this section of the road is again unfortunately in the news. I must again bring to the attention of my government that this road in its existing state is very questionable as a safe, year-round main BC thoroughfare. My deep and very sincere concern is that over a period of time, with emergency governmental spending on this road, the government will increasingly find it difficult to study alternate and safer locations. This road is located in a narrow canyon, is subject to unexpected weather conditions, has no edge of the road protection, has grades of up to 18%, and climbs 3900 feet to reach the plateau. The recent rock slides re-emphasize the need for a thorough financial evaluation of this existing route as a longterm, safe highway site. With this letter, I am asking my government to initiate an immediate study regarding the potential cost of developing this route into a permanent safe highway, not including costs associated with any emergency road safety spending. If this is going to be the permanent route into the Bella Coola Valley, the government needs to establish exactly what the potential long term costs will be, rather than spending unreservedly into a potential money pit. These future developmental costs need to be known regarding the financial practicality of this existing route. An alternate route to achieve the plateau is available with an elevation difference of 1300 feet rather than 3900 feet. I would be very pleased to provide the information about the alternate route, and further elaborate on all of the known public safety issues of this existing route, if so requested. I have been a traveler on this route since 1957. Sincerely yours, Doug Wilson, Williams Lake, BC

Introducing… Think Locally: Featured Bella Coola Business: Eagle Lodge BY SARAH GOWANS
Jennifer and James Taylor have announced themselves as the new owners and operators of Eagle Lodge.
Most residents are aware that Eagle Lodge has been for sale for some time and have wondered about what impact the new owners would have. On July 15th, Eagle Lodge officially changed hands: local couple Jennifer and James Taylor announced themselves as the new owners and moved into the Lodge. Jennifer and James had often joked around about purchasing Eagle Lodge, and always knew that the business and property would be a perfect fit for their family. They soon came to realize that their dream could quite easily be a reality, and now are the proud owners of some of the most luxurious accommodations in the Bella Coola Valley. Together Jennifer and James have over 37 years of combined experience in the tourism and hospitality industry. James moved to Bella Coola in 2008 where he has worked most recently as a travel consultant for Tweedsmuir Travel. James previously owned and operated Finca Bosque, a guesthouse and restaurant in Guatemala. Jennifer is a long time resident of Bella Coola and

Knotweed is Not Pretty SUBMITTED BY: CARIBOO CHILCOTIN COAST INVASIVE PLANT COMMITTEE The flagging tape you see on those big, leafy green plants marks all the Japanese knotweed that has been found in the valley. Knotweed is an invasive plant; it is from Asia and does not belong here. It can rapidly grow in
any moist open habitat, where it out-competes native plants and for light, moisture and nutrients. There are no natural predators or diseases here to keep it in check. Knotweed is ranked among the world’s “100 worst” invasive species. It is a highly aggressive plant that has entrenched itself along the banks of many coastal BC streams. It grows

extremely fast, often crowding out native vegetation and altering the landscape. It spreads mainly through its extensive root system and new colonies can also sprout from small plant fragments. Dispersal can occur along streams, through untreated fill and soil movement, and on people, boats, and cars. Its extensive canopy excludes native plants and trees from growing due to shade, competition for moisture and nutrients, and its dense litter mass. The loss of native riparian vegetation and the inability of grasses, sedges and trees to reproduce under a knotweed canopy can cause a decrease in food and habitat for fish. Each winter, the entire plant collapses on itself and other surrounding plants. The sparse winter canopy exposes bare soil making stream banks more vulnerable to erosion. In addition, the exten-
sive root system lacks true root hairs necessary to bind and hold in place stream bank soil. During peak flow events, banks erode, resulting in sedimentation that impacts human water quality and fish populations. Flood events can worsen the spread of knotweed by dislodging and carrying stem and root material downstream, where they can establish a new infestation. Large infestations of knotweed can intensify flooding by filling river and stream channels with its large stalks, thus clogging water flow through channels. Knotweed creates impassable walls and blocks access to rivers for wildlife and humans. This reduces habitat quality and foraging opportunities for wildlife. Theses impassable walls can restrict fishing, hunting and recreational access to rivers for humans. Infrastructure and other amenity value are affected by knot-

Knotweed has been flagged in various parts of the Valley weed’s rapid and persistent growth. It can grow through small cracks in pavement, concrete or drainage structures, reducing structural integrity of public infrastructure. Knotweed is a safety concern as it reduces highway sightlines and roadside visibility. If embedded into riprap (rock structures placed to build up the stream banks in the
valley), it is impossible to control without completely removing the structures. There are significant costs associated with removal and control of knotweed. Land values are or will be negatively impacted, if the land is knotweed infested. An information brochure reached all mailboxes in the valley that outlines
management options to control this plant in your backyard. Without prompt and vigorous action, knotweed will overtake riverbanks, displace native habitat, and damage the scenic and recreational quality of our pristine valley. Join us in August to learn more about this plant and help us to manage the infestations.

Centennial Pool Re-opens BY: BRIAN LANDE Following nearly two years of work to repair damage to the Centennial Pool in Hagensborg, the Centennial Pool Commission is very pleased to confirm that the pool is once again operational and open to the public. Two separate floods (October 2009 and September 2010) caused significant damage to the concrete pool tank and plumbing, as well as to the land surrounding and underlying the pool, causing instability and cracking to the tank. Efforts last year to repair the damage caused by flooding in the fall of 2009 were hampered by the fact that hydrological action beneath the pool had created a void that allowed settling once the pool was refilled with water.
Repair of the tank was further made difficult by the high groundwater table in the area that prevented drainage of the pool in order to seal cracks in the concrete. Starting in early May of this year, more repairs were undertaken, along with re-engineering of the drain system and pumping several yards of semi-solid concrete under the tank to provide the stability required. Damage to the plumbing that resulted from last September’s flood meant that portions of the pool deck had to be removed in order to expose and repair the pipes. Rick Jelley with New Waves Pool and Spa in Williams Lake oversaw the repairs both this year and last, making many trips to the Valley as well as liaising with engineering and public health professionals to ensure
the final permits to operate were issued. On behalf of the Central Coast Regional District, I would like to offer my sincere appreciation to those dedicated volunteers who worked so hard to ensure the pool opened this year. As the regional district’s board representative to the Centennial Pool Commission, which oversees the operation of the pool, I can attest first hand to the effort that was required to return our damaged pool to good working order. Pauline Russell, Karen Lansdowne, Joan Cole, Nicola Koroluk, Margaret Nash, and Brad Koroluk comprise the Centennial Pool Commission. All of these individuals worked relentlessly to ensure a positive outcome. In addition to the commissioners, who
work year-round to ensure that the recreational, educational and employment opportunities the pool offers are available, a number of other individuals freely offer their services on a regular basis. Over many years, the Centennial Pool Commission has benefited from the expertise and commitment of Coleen Fraser, who continues to train staff as lifeguards and swim instructors. For decades, the late Jim Newkirk worked to ensure the mechanical end of pool operations ran smoothly. Like his father, Garrett Newkirk gives his time to keep the pumps and furnaces running. Following the completion of repairs this summer, Croyden Lansdowne and Don MacKay volunteered their time and equipment to clean up the
facilities in preparation for the July 25th opening. The efforts of our pool staff, led by manager Janice Newkirk, also deserve mention. We’re pleased to have a number of staff return again this year, even though last year’s unfortunate season cancellation meant that staff, most of whom are students, missed out on an important summer employment opportunity. The beginning of this season saw staff undertake a variety of tasks, well outside the range of their usual duties. It’s been a long haul but our amazing volunteers have managed to oversee the restoration of our community pool for the benefit of us all. Thank you for your dedication to this valuable public facility!
Coastal Regional Districts express concern with BC Ferry Corporation The Chairs of nine coastal Regional Districts met with Blair Lekstrom, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI), on July 19th to give voice to the adverse impact of BC Ferry Corporation fare increases and to encourage the Minister to initiate a major revision of the Coastal Ferry Act. The meeting was organized by Colin Palmer, Chair of the Powell River Regional District, and included Regional District Chairs and Vice Chairs from Metro Vancouver to Victoria to Bella Coola. Together, this group of diverse Regional Districts represents 2.9 million British Columbians or 63% of the provincial population. “It is significant to see nine diverse Regional Districts come together with a clear message for the Province: improve
coastal ferry service in BC,” said Colin Palmer, Chair of the Powell River Regional District. “We know that fares have been escalating since the BC Coastal Ferry Act was put in place in 2003. We also know that families and businesses in each of our regions– from those on small islands to those in the Metro Vancouver and Victoria areas—are being impacted by increases. We need to ensure that coastal British Columbian families and businesses can survive. As a group, our collective intent is to support the Minister in consideration of all options to improve coastal ferry service.” The coastal Regional District Chairs advised the Minister that the original objectives of the Coastal Ferry Act have not been met. The group presented evidence of the ways in which increasing
fares are damaging island and coastal communities and asked the Province to develop more appropriate oversight tools for the delivery of coastal ferry services. Members of the group also presented the concept that ferry service could be considered an extension of highway service, which could require that it be treated and funded in the same manner as nonmarine infrastructure. “We are confident that the Minister understands the importance of this issue and is convinced that fare increases cannot continue as planned,” said Lois Jackson, Chair of Metro Vancouver. The nine coastal Chairs will request meetings with the BC Ferry Commissioner and the Premier, and have offered to continue to be part of the essential improvements to the coastal ferry service in British Columbia.
Vancouver Island Regional Library launches newly designed website Rosemary Bonanno, Vancouver Island Regional Library, VIRL's executive director, said that customers have been asking for improvements to the website. "During last year's strategic planning process our customers frequently mentioned the need for a more user-centred and intuitive website with improved functionality and a more userfriendly on-line catalogue system," Bonanno said. "We've reorganized a lot of the existing content on the site and implemented a number of features that provide added functionality. Earlier this spring we launched the new catalogue system, and we rolled out the new website last week," she added. The new website uses colourful feature blocks to ease navigation to frequently used web pages, and “Using the Library” gets people to just about everything they need to know about the library-from tips on the catalogue and how to get a library card, to opening hours, downloadable books, book club sets, special collections, assistive services and more. Ask a Librarian allows customers to contact a librarian by email or toll-free phone number 1-877-415-VIRL (8475) for information on books, movies, homework help, e-resources with animated books for kids, etc. Bonanno said that customers like the new catalogue and website and, for those who need help navigating through the new site, there is assistance available at all 38 branches of Vancouver Island Regional Library. The library's new website can be visited at www.virl.bc.ca.

Coast Mountain News Thursday, August 4, 2011
The Farmer’s Market continues to be successful for local vendors BY: SARAH GOWANS The Farmers Market is a long-standing tradition in Bella Coola. From 10am to 12pm every Sunday during summer, locals and visitors head to the market located at the Fair Grounds, in the Quonset Hut on Highway 20. The weekly market is a prime destination for visitors to socialize with locals and support Bella Coola’s economy. It is also a meeting place for locals where many come to mingle and enjoy a coffee and muffin from the market café. The Market draws a following for its fresh seasonal produce, homemade goodies, and arts and crafts. Customers take pleasure in the chance to wander leisurely, stopping to engage with other patrons and search out the market's best buys. For the vendors and customers who frequent the Farmers Market, the season is about cultivating a deeply rooted sense of community, as well as some of the best produce around. There is an array of tantalizing treats available each Sunday: home baked goods including muffins, tarts and cookies, bread, fruit loaves, jams and jellies. So far, the market has seen fresh produce such as lettuce, turnips, chard, spinach, and radishes. This week, long time vendor Connie Nygaard was able to supply broccoli and cauliflower and her cabbage will be ready for this upcoming Sunday’s market. Local artist vendors include residents Keiko Stewart and Lucille Thompson, who display oil and watercolor paintings along with pen and ink drawings. Brenda and
Keith Smart of Kes Crafts offer a collection of wooden crafts including Keith’s hand carved boxes that feature handmade wooden hinges. Brenda boasts a large collection of quilts, crochet hats and clothing, and knitted crafts including her adorable miniature bears. Brenda Sandford shows off her large variety of framed wildlife prints, and her unique painted conks. Also on display are her quilts and handmade dolls, and daughter Donna’s wire wrapped jewelry. Terry Diehl also offers a beautiful collection of handmade jewelry showcasing crystals and fossils. Terry says, “I am able to keep my prices low because I source my materials worldwide at little cost.” This is obviously true when you see the gorgeous cowry fossil necklace for only $20! Her work is astounding, and a must see at the market. Wilma Hallam will be happy to tell you about her fabric postcards: they’re very popular with tourists, and have been posted around the globe. Wilma also has an assortment of quilts, gift bags, craft books, yarn and fabric for sale. Hanging with Wilma’s quilts is art piece, “The Land Is Sacred, A Cultural Duet”. It’s a mixed media piece including carvings and fabric work that is a collaboration between Wilma, Don and Marcia Wadhams, and Taryn Nygaard. The piece shows the Nuxalk story about the calling back of the salmon each year and it’s quite extraordinary. The Bella Coola Valley Sustainable Agriculture Society has a presence at the market each Sunday. They are there to promote and educate about food security
in the Bella Coola Valley. Dayna Chapman is full of information and there are also brochures and giveaway seeds available. Most people are aware that the bad weather this summer has caused a poor growing season. In the past, on a good day approximately 60 people would attend the Farmers’ Market. Terry Diehl comments, “We have had vendors pull out this year because they just don’t have anything to sell due to the bad weather.” However, she did go on to say that attendance has been about the same as last year. Connie Nygaard has had steady business so far, mainly due to her loyal customers, although unfortunately she lost a huge supply of jam in last Septembers’ flood. The flavor of the fresh food from the Farmers Market is far superior than store bought produce, but buying from local farms has even more perks. Buying locally can bring more money into the community, and is healthier for you and your family. Farmers’ Markets allow people to know how and where their food is grown. Support the Farmers Market! Eat locally grown foods, chat to vendors, go and learn about small businesses in Bella Coola, and get a sampling of the fine arts and crafts available in the valley. The Market runs until September 30th and welcomes home producers as well as farmers and community artisans who want to become vendors. Please contact Diane Tuck on (250) 799-5681 if you are interested or would like further information.
