Stunt athlete Luigi Cani, wearing his wingsuit, shot a commercial in the mountains of Bella Coola last week
World-renowned stuntman shoots commercial in Bella Coola BY CAITLIN THOMPSON
A commercial was shot in the mountains of Bella Coola last week featuring world-renowned stunt athlete Luigi Cani. The shoot took place thousands of feet up in the mountains in the Tsini Tsini drainage up Valley on the south side. Finding the perfect location took time and once the crew was on site the rigging was set up by Bella Coola Heli Sports staff member Paul Bernsten and local climbing enthusiast Steven Hodgson. West Coast Helicopters provided the flights
and Tweedsmuir Park Lodge hosted the film crew. Bernsten and Hodgson were responsible for making sure the actors and crew were secure in their positions during the shoot. The men were tasked with setting up an intricate rope system that would enable the cast and crew to appear as though a dangerous stunt was being executed, but in reality everyone kept their feet on the ground. Cani, who hails from Brazil, has performed some of the world’s most dangerous stunts, many of which he coordinated himself, and has been featured
on Discovery Channel, ESPN, Fox, NBC, and a multitude of magazines. He is especially skilled at skydiving and holds the world record for the fastest free fall speed at 343 miles per hour. He also base jumps, performs motorcycle stunts, acrobatics, free falling, free flying and is perhaps best known for his work in the ‘wing suit’ or ‘flying squirrel suit.’ Resembling something between a flying squirrel and a snow angel, the wingsuit allows skydivers and base jumpers to leap out into the void, spread
their arms and soar through the air. In a sense, wingsuit flying is a cross between skydiving and hang gliding. Like both of these activities, wingsuit flying requires the flyer to either jump out of an aircraft or off a precipice to achieve a high enough altitude. While hang gliders can coast in for a safe landing, wingsuit flyers have to deploy their parachutes and float the rest of the way to the ground -- they simply can't reduce their speed fast enough for a safe landing without the use of a chute.
In one of his most dangerous and well-known stunts, Cani performed a freefall past the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue which stands 38 meters (125 feet) atop the 710 meter (2,330foot) tall Corcovado Mountain in the Tijuca Forest National Park overlooking Rio de Janeiro and its world renown beaches. Cani freefell at terminal velocity, coming within two metres of the statue, skimmed the earth, and continued flight, uninjured. “This was the most exhilarating flight I've ever expeSEE COMMERCIAL ON PAGE 3

rienced,” explained Cani, who skimmed the bushes after flying past Christ the Redeemer. In spite of skimming, Cani maintained flight long enough to get to a location high enough above the ground to open his parachute. “It was almost miraculous,” he said, “I truly felt a greater power was watching over me.” Cani didn’t actually deploy his wing-
suit during his recent shoot in Bella Coola, but he did make it look like he was going to. The shoot was engineered to make it appear as though Cani was perched precariously on a cliff with nothing but space beneath him. Credit goes to riggers Bernsten and Hodgson for that visual trickery. The shoot wrapped up last weekend and the commercial is slated to be released in January 2011.

Bella Coola General Hospital education funds facilitate local employment BY MICHEL BAZILLE CEO – BELLA COOLA GENERAL HOSPITAL The Bella Coola General Hospital would like to take this opportunity to recognize the successful applicants to the education funding through the Bella Coola General Hospital. The Isabel Kellett education fund is in memory of a former Director of Care who kindly bequeathed a sum of money to the hospital to be used for education. The Bella Coola General Hospital combined these dollars with an additional donated amount and use the interest annually from this fund to help offset the costs of education for employees who are involved in ongoing education and apply to the fund. Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, in collaboration with Cashline, also contributes the transaction fees from the ATM located in the lobby of the hospital towards funding edu-
cation expenses for employees. This year we had a total of $5000.00 to contribute towards employee education. We recognize the hard work and dedication of Paul Grace-Campbell in his second year of the Pharmacy Technician course as well as Suzanne Rose, Physiotherapist in her participation of two educational sessions through the Parkinson Society of BC as well as a workshop on Lymphedema Treatment and Management. A generous portion of the funding is dedicated to the Nursing Staff of the Bella Coola General Hospital and, under the leadership of Lorinda Andersen, Director of Patient Care, it is anticipated educational opportunities will be provided to the team of nursing staff. We are pleased to support Licensed Practical Nurse Training through the Mae Kopas Education Fund.
Once again, through the kind donations of a former Registered Nurse from many years ago, Mae Kopas we are pleased to support a community member who has successfully completed the Licensed Practical Nurse Program. Congratulations to Kirsten Tallio on becoming a Licensed Practical Nurse! We hope you decide to pursue your career in healthcare in our community. Your local hospital is a vital part of our community. Please remember us as the year draws to a close, we are a charitable organization and your donation is a taxable deduction. All donations are used for equipment purchases or patient centered comfort items or renovations. No donation goes towards the regular operation of the hospital. Thank you to all who have supported us over this past year with your generous donations.
Wishing Everyone a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Be Safe.....Donʼt Drink and Drive!

A Chip off the Old Black BOOK REVIEW BY ANGELA HALL I’ve always been a fan of Arthur Black, some of you may remember that several years ago we used to feature his columns in the Coast Mountain News. For those that are unfamiliar with his work - well, it’s time to get acquainted. Arthur is a prolific writer who has turned out numerous books and a multitude of columns. One of the many things I like about Black’s books is that each chapter is made up of many short stories. It’s not something you have to try to read through at a few sittings. Rather, it is something to pick up and read at any time - if you only have a few minutes or if you want to spend the afternoon reading - it’s a treasure however you read it. With Christmas just around the corner A Chip off the Old Black is a perfect gift. It is a good read for anyone and easy to mail. It’s not only a “keeper” for those on your gift list, it would also be a great addition to your own library, something to pick up any time you want a good chuckle. With topics and chapter headings such as Fear of Terrorism: The Nipple Effect; As a Martyr of Fact; Mentioning Unmentionables; or Mauled by Malls. . . well, you get the idea. The book is fun, wacky, and well worth reading. Arthur Black’s adopted home is Salt Spring Island where he recently released his audio CD Planet Salt Spring. He has won the Stephen Leacock Memorial Medal for
Humour, has hosted radio and TV shows and is a prolific writer. Published by Harbour Publishing and available at Kopas Store, this politically incorrect book is a terrific choice for any book lover on your list.
Reader feels Bella Coola is an extraction zone Dear Editor, I see a lot of raw material leaving this place and none of it staying behind. It seems that there is no end in sight. If you are rich enough, or in with the movers and shakers, you can get a piece of the pie, and this is not fair to the rest of the community. We sit at a high rate of unemployment and continue to extract and ship the work out! Can we afford to feed the rest of the world? What about the locals! Do we not matter? It bugs me that we continue to use jack pine studs in our buildings while we
ship out the good fir to others and use below grade stuff for ourselves. Our houses last 10 to 15 years before we have to replace them, it doesn’t make sense to me! Is this contributing to the mould problem we face? I believe that we need to learn how to take care of ourselves first then maybe we can help out elsewhere. The Nuxalk have managed this place long before the white man came, and we were foresters! Our houses were built out of the massive cedars in the area; how did we move them? This brings up the Ministry
of Forest’s handling and management of our territories. We need to ask: are they doing a good job? It seems to me that industry has more to do with it than the Ministry of Forest’s. I know that we sit on a great pile of wood and we need to be careful how we use it! Sell it too fast and we lose! We need more long-term employment and planning for our area. This valley is our deep freeze and if we deplete it too quickly, we will suffer! Sincerely, Robert ‘Skip’ Saunders Chief Ximximlayc, Nuxalk Nation

Chief Nanus hosts third Chieftainship potlatch Chief Nanus (Mike Tallio) hosted his third potlatch last month on November 12 and 13 at Nuxalk Hall. The potlatch was supposed to be held on October 9 and 10 but was postponed due to the extreme flooding a few weeks before. The potlatch – Lhlam – is considered to be the government system of the Nuxalkmc people, and nothing can be validated or recognized within the community unless it happens at a potlatch. The Lhlam is the forum for community work, and its importance cannot be underestimated. The Canadian and US governments banned potlatching in 1884 as part of their efforts to assimilate native peoples. This drove the practice underground, but it did not stop it. The ban was finally lifted in the US in 1934 and Canada in 1951. Since that time the potlatch has enjoyed resurgence in many communities across North America. Chief Nanus holds the Nappie Chieftainship from his mother’s side and he hosted his first potlatch in 2005 and his second in 2008. “According to our customs, if a man wants to achieve status as full chief, he must host five potlatches,” said Nanus’ nephew Snxakila, Clyde Tallio,
who facilitated the weekends’ proceedings. The potlatch began on Thursday morning at 10am with the initiation of Ronald Schooner into the Sisawk Society. Every chief requires a ‘right hand man,’ someone to stand in for him in times of absence, and Ronald was chosen to carry this honour for Chief Nanus. He was dressed in a headpiece and given the right to carry a sacred song, a song that only he will have the right to sing. The song calls people to witness the work of Chief Nanus, and Ronald performed this song publicly for the first time. As required by law, the sharing of a meal validated the ceremony. That afternoon the Memorial for Roddy Nappie took place, beginning with the Crest Dance of his family, the Raven and the Killer Whale. These crests represent his ancestors, with whom he now resides. His headstone was also revealed at this time. This evening another important ceremony took place, the ‘repurchasing of the wife’ - the Its’amanmtnm. During the Its’amanmtnm, Chief Nanus’ wife Kanuslhlyam’s (Crystal Tallio) family brought gifts for the chiefs to ‘repurchase’ her and elevate her

status to be equal to her husband. It also reinforces the fact that the wife is still part of her birth family and allows her children to carry the crests of both her parents. “A chief needs his wife’s support to be a powerful chief,” says Tallio. “This ceremony brings families together.” Kanuslhalyam’s family (made up of the Walkus and Schooner families) also presented Chief Nanus with a chiefs’ rattle adorned with three beads to represent the three potlatches he has held so far. The following evening the potlatch opened with a feast of traditional foods including salmon, halibut, clams, moose meat and berries. “Traditional foods make up a huge part of our culture and also remind us to take care of our lands,” Tallio explains. “For this reason Nanus wanted to emphasize traditional foods in the feast.” Following the feast the family showed respect for the traditional territory of Chief Pootlass, who brought together all the remaining Nuxalkmc people into the village now
known as Bella Coola following the smallpox epidemic. The creation story – Smayusta - of the Nappie Family who originated in Green Bay (Nusxiq’), was told and Chief Nanus danced the headdress song to bless the floor, which is then considered to be a sacred space for the night’s proceedings. The Qwayxaks song was then performed, which calls the chiefs to sit and witness the family’s work. Kanuslhalyam’s work began with the dressing of the speakers and the strengthening of the Chief’s seat with gifts. This is a comical ceremony and is intended to remind people to connect with that element of humour in their culture. Following this work one of the central purposes of the potlatch began: the Ts’ktlclayc, Coming of Age Ceremony, for Chief Nanus’ daughter Carrigan Tallio, Ntl'alhana. Preceding the potlatch, Carrigan had taken part in a four-day ceremony guided by three women – Chief Rhonda Sandoval, Christie Smith and Faye Edgar. During this fourday ceremony tradi-
Invitation to Participate in Research
My name is Alison Krahn and I am a master’s student in education at the University of British Columbia. I am here in Bella Coola for my research project, which is designed to gain a better understanding of the educational experiences and goals of young mothers living in the Bella Coola community. My intention is to explore the factors that young mothers identify as being valuable towards enhancing educational engagement and achievement in their community. I am seeking to hold interviews with women who have had at least one child during their teenage years. I am hoping to speak with women who have completed their high school education and other training, as well as with women who have not yet completed their secondary schooling. I hope to facilitate a genuine dialogue through these interviews to hear what you have to say about your experiences, interests, goals and needs within the context of education. **Every precaution has been taken to maintain confidentiality and to protect your identity **

Chief Nanus performs the Chief’s dance tional knowledge was passed on to her and the duties of being a chief’s daughter were reinforced. This ceremony concluded with Carrrigan being dressed in her new regalia (painted by Chazz Mack), presented to the community as an adult woman, being given her new name Ntl'alhana, and taking her first steps across the floor. The ‘Uplifting of the Babies’ followed. This ceremony is intended to introduce the new members of
Chief Nanus’ family to the community and to explain their relation to the family. It is also intended to strengthen the child’s life path and to recognize Chief Nanus as the head of these new members. Adoptions and name giving’s followed. The passing down of names is important because it is a public declaration of who now holds this name. Similarly, the adoptions signify the expansion of Nanus’ family to include new members who
are now considered by Nuxalk law to be of the same blood. These new members now carry the same responsibility to uphold the family’s Smayusta and care for the land. The dancing of the Simon Johnson Honour Song then validated these ceremonies. “This dance makes the ceremony legal,” said Tallio. “It is the final declaration of these events.” The floor was then opened to the community.

part of any potlatch, during this time other families are now welcome to buy floor time with gifts to announce their family business. There was a tremendous amount of good work accomplished, and this is also considered to be an affirmation of support for Chief Nanus as many, many families took advantage of the floor time made available. The presentation of the family’s dances followed. “In our traditions our names, songs, and dances are our family’s greatest treasures,” said Tallio. “In displaying these treasures we are reliving our ancestors history; they represent everything we have inherited from our ancestors over thousands of years.” Several new dances were also performed, including the Kanus Ladies Dance, intended to cleanse the floor. The Cannibal Dance – Lxulhla – was the performed by Chief Nanus and followed by the Tallio Grizzly Bear Dances, performed to honour the Tallio side of the family, in particular Nanus’ aunt Ama whose husband was a chief from Talyuumc (South Bentinck). These were special as a new Grizzly Bear Cubs dance was performed by Nanus’ son Winaas (Breydan Tallio) and Anika (Kiera Snow), both from families originating in Talyuumc. Carrigan and Tara Nelson were honoured with dance names, Q'umtswa
and Alhilhcmana, giving them the right to dance Kusyut dances, like the Sun Dance. A new portion of the curtain was also revealed – a mountain goat design painted by Vivian George representing the Nappie family Smayusta. The Mountain Goat Dance (another new dance) was performed by Latham (Beaver) Mack who wore a mask carved by Chief Ximximlayc (Skip Saunders). The community dance program concluded this portion of the potlatch. “This dance program was developed by the elders years ago who wanted to preserve the dances for future generations and has since always been performed at every potlatch,” said Tallio. The evening concluded with the giveaways, an ancient custom which spreads wealth throughout the community and demonstrates the chief’s commitment to caring for his people. It also serves to validate the events that happened at the potlatch, as those receiving gifts are also carrying with them the knowledge of what they have witnessed. “The giveaway symbolizes the essence of the potlatch,” explains Tallio. “It represents how we have to share in order to survive, of generosity being a fundamental value in our community leaders, and the confirmation of those witnessing what has now become Nuxalkmc law. It is the final chapter of the Lhlam.”
Many other families purchased floor time at the event. Here the Webber family presents a new mask.

In Loving Memory of Donald “Squlh” Snow December 25, 1938 - October 30, 2010
Donald was born early in the morning of December 25, 1938, to David and Bertha (nee Schooner) Snow. As a youth, Donald attended the Native Day School and later did upgrading in Victoria. As an adult, he made a successful career out of gillnetting. He was a real people person, and when he retired he kept busy helping out wherever there was a need.
He loved basketball and coached many men and women’s teams. He also taught young boys to play basketball as well as training them in weight lifting and racing. He wanted to motivate the youth and help them develop an interest in sports. Donald loved music. His favorite singer was Elvis Presley, and he not only listened to his music all the time,
he learned and sang the “King’s” songs, accompanying himself on his guitar. He also enjoyed gospel songs, particularly ‘Release Me’ and ‘Just a Closer Walk with Thee.’ He had a strong faith and attended both the United and Pentecostal Churches and sang in both churches. When Donald first became ill he proved to be a strong fighter. He came out of a 12 day coma one of the first times he was in Vancouver’s St. Paul’s hospital. But, over the past few years time took its toll, and Donald’s health deteriorated to the point that he was in and out of the hospital frequently. On October 13th, Donald Squlh had a stroke and was found by one of his greatnephews. It didn’t take long before family members were standing by and praying for him. He was medevaced to Lion’s Gate hospital that night. The stroke affected the left side of his brain, and he had no movement in the right side of his body. To everyone’s
amazement, just a few days later he was able to control and use his right hand to feed himself. During his last few days his sister Betty stayed by his side, comforting him, praying with him, and reminiscing. Donald had a tender spirit, a great sense of mischief, and a kind and encouraging word for everyone. So how does one say goodbye to such a gentle, car-
$
ing, supportive and respected elder of the community? We can only bid him farewell as he goes to greet his ancestors in the company of heavenly angels. Donald’s family and friends are thankful for all that he has given them. He will be greatly missed and will always remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

Iver Edwin Solhjell December 18, 1937 - November 22, 2010 Our Father, Grandfather, Brother, Uncle and most of all our FRIEND
As a family, we have chosen to keep his obituary simple, because, after all, he was a simple man. It may not have the perfect wording but after all, he was not a perfect man. We will not spend time talking about his past, or his sudden passing, because in our hearts from now until forever, he will always be in the present. For those of you who know our father, please remember him as you will. Good, bad, happy or sad, these would be the memories he would want you to hold onto. We have chosen not to have a funeral service for him as of yet, as we are not ready to place him at a final resting place at this time. He would not want people trudging out in the cold to mourn him. Everyone has been so gracious and kind with their words of comfort, prayer, and love, this is what our father would wish for. We know paying respects at a service is the normal thing to do but we are not a normal family. Dad always said, “When you find out what normal is, let me know because I don’t have a clue.” He is now back in his home. For those of you who knew him well, he will probably still trade coffee for gossip, so if you decide to still stop by, please understand if it’s not him who greets you at the door. Just take comfort in knowing that he is tired and resting in his home, that’s all. His birthday is coming soon, so if you’re driving through his neighbourhood called ‘Dog Patch’ and think of him on this day, please give a honk or two. He would get a great chuckle out of this, probably even think to himself ‘crap, I wonder what the neighbours think.’ For those of you who knew his humour, he always liked to keep things lively, and people always guessing. Thank you to everyone for all the support you have shown and we have received in our hearts. There are really no words stronger than ‘Thank You’ to say how much we appreciate it and feel comforted by it all. The Solhjell Family & ‘Stella”

61 First Nations say no to Enbridge Pipeline BY CAITLIN THOMPSON First Nations across BC have signed a declaration detailing their unified opposition to Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline. The proposed project, which has generated tremendous controversy, consists of a twin pipeline that would carry 525,000 barrels of oil destined for Asia nearly 1,200 kilometres from Edmonton to Kitimat and 173,000 barrels of condensate in the opposition direction. Not only does the prospect of supertankers on the coast send chills of trepidation through coastal communities, but the focus has also shifted to the countless waterways the pipeline must cross on its long journey to the coast and the communities that could be impacted along the way. The group, calling itself the Save the Fraser Gathering of Nations, took out a full-page ad in last Thursday's Globe and Mail to declare that they will not allow Enbridge to transport tar sands oil across their lands and watersheds. “An oil spill in our lands and rivers would destroy our
fish, poison our water and devastate our people, our livelihoods and our futures,” the ad said. “We will protect our rivers from Enbridge oil,” it declared. The company has issued a statement saying, “Every project will have its opponents as well as its supporters.” Northern Gateway said the public regulatory review process that will take place over the next two years will allow everyone to have their concerns addressed. Enbridge certainly isn’t enjoying a spotless environmental record. In July an Enbridge pipeline ruptured, spewing nearly 20,000 barrels of oil into a Michigan river, which was destined for Sarnia, Ontario. Less than two months later another leak occurred in Illinois. First Nations and environmentalists have been vehemently fighting Enbridge's proposal and appear prepared to push the boundaries. “Civil disobedience is not out of the question,” said Larry Nooski, from the Nadleh Whut'en First Nation near Fraser Lake. An ongoing debate rages over whether the risks that accompany Enbridge’s proposal will be worth the jobs it may provide. The $5.5
billion dollar project would provide up to 3000 construction jobs and approximately 1,500 long-term jobs, the company claims. In the jobhungry north, this is a tantalizing estimate. The Union of BC Municipalities certainly made it known where they stand. The UBCM recently passed two resolutions against the project at their conference in October: the first on the tanker traffic that would result and the second on the construction of the pipeline itself. NDP MP Nathan Cullen has jumped on the dissent by introducing a private members bill that would see a ban on supertanker traffic on the coast. At present, a loosely interpreted moratorium does exist, but critics would like to see this strengthened to a full ban. “Banning tankers would protect the BC coast from Enbridge's risky venture,” said Cullen. “It would also temper the unsustainable explosion of Canada's tar sands sector and the climate-changing emissions that go with it.” Alberta's oil sands are the second-largest crude oil reserve in the world.
Bulkley Valley Credit Union Aids Bella Coola Valley Farmers In the spirit of help and cooperation that credit unions were founded on, Bulkley Valley Credit Union has come to the aid of beleaguered farmers in the Bella Coola Valley. During the severe flooding earlier this fall, farmers in the valley lost three quarters of their winter feed, placing the livestock of 20 small valley farms at risk. After reading about the situation in the Globe and Mail, management of Bulkley Valley Credit Union
sprang into action, contacting Williams Lake and District Credit Union, which operates the valley's only financial institution, to offer their assistance. "Since Bulkley Valley Credit Union was originally formed by 11 farmers back in 1941, we knew our communities would want us to do something to help in this time of need," explained Bulkley Valley's CEO Dave Stene. "We understand the stress fam-
ily farms have been under the past few years and we just wanted to help in a small way." That help has taken the form of 32 tons of hay purchased by Bulkley Valley Credit Union. The hay was obtained with the generous assistance Frypan Ranches Inc. The Takysie Lake company provided the hay at a reduced rate and arranged for one of its own cattle liners to be available for the delivery.
Little Theatre Guild’s Christmas plays to benefit flood victims The Bella Coola Valley Little Theatre Guild will present two of the best-loved Christmas stories in one matinee performance on Sunday, December noon at 2.30 pm, at Lobelco Hall. Veteran actors and newcomers will delight audiences of all ages with these two short re-enactments of the Grinch and a slightly modernised Scrooge. There are plenty of laughs and everything ends happily. Just as well, since the two BahHumbugs are played by Bella
Coola’s longest serving and muchrespected physician, Dr Ray McIlwain. In the end, laughter really is the best medicine - especially at Christmas! In between the short plays (ideal for the attentions spans of younger audiences), the Community Choir, under the direction of Elizabeth Endicott, will sing several carols, and refreshments will be served. Admission is free and all proceeds will go to help local flood victims.
