North Coast MLA Gary Coons introduces new NDP candidate, Jennifer Rice Caitlin Thompson Two-time North Coast NDP MLA Gary Coons was in Bella Coola last week to introduce the newest candidate for the riding, Jennifer Rice. Coons, who confirmed several weeks ago that he would not be running in this year’s election, took this opportunity to speak with Bella Coola Valley residents about issues that are important to them, and in turn to give Rice the opportunity to connect to Bella Coola. When asked whether or not this is Place your business card in our Business Directory for only $10 per issue.

the ‘end’ of his political career, Coons was frank. “I am going to stay politically engaged, especially with ferries,” he said. “I’m working closely with the BC Coastal Transportation Society and I plan to continue this work.” Coons has made transportation via BC Ferries a focus of his work as an MLA, especially as an advocate for the residents of Haida Gwaii, who rely on the ferry system and are now paying a round-trip walkon fare of $70 plus tax. Add a vehicle and the fare jumps to $126 for a one-way trip. “Ferries are an extension of our highways,” said Coons. “But instead of being fairly funded by taxpayers, it’s been treated as a user-pay

system. So now BC Ferries is in debt and many communities are underserviced as a result. It’s not an easy fix.” When asked about the long-term viability of the Discovery Coast Passage Route to Bella Coola and our neighbouring communities, Coons was fairly optimistic the route would remain active. “It’s a vital link, especially for tourism,” Coons said. “You have people pushing for this route all the way from Williams Lake, and Bella Coola is a ferrydependent community, even if you do have a road. BC Ferries is providing a service, it shouldn’t be about finances.” As Coons moves on to other ventures, Prince Rupert City

top issues on the Central and North Coast, the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline project. She also sits on the Ferries Advisory Committee, NW Regional Hospital District board, and as Alternate Director for the Skeena Queen Charlotte Regional District. When questioned on her motivation to enter politics, Rice explained that, for her, advocacy is a

perfect fit. “I really feel that advocacy is a role for me,” she said. “After sitting on council for so many years, you start to see that the local issues are really bigger and broader, and I would love the chance to address them at a provincial level.” Rice, who is originally from Ottawa but has lived in Prince Rupert for over a decade, characterizes herself as ‘ambitious and determined,’ and

feels like this is the right time in her life to take on the brandnew world of provincial politics. Rice is pushing for a different approach to traditional politics, starting off with a conversation about which issues matter to local people. “When I decided to take on the nomination I began calling people to ask them what issues were important to them,” she said. “The threat of Enbridge was at the top of the list. After that it was BC Ferries, and sustainable, local, resource and economic development. I’m looking forward to being a voice for people on these issues.” The provincial election will be held on May 14, 2013. Campaigning is already underway, but the BC Liberals, the BC Green Party, and the BC Conservative Party have yet to announce their candidate for the North Coast.

Federal election boundaries now include all of Bella Coola in Skeena-Bulkley Valley riding Caitlin Thompson

Skeena-Bulkley Valley NDP MP Nathan Cullen will now represent all of the Bella Coola Valley.

Grassroots action was at least partly responsible for the new configuration of the Skeena-Bulkley Valley riding to include all of the Bella Coola Valley. In the past, those living east of Augsburg Church in Hagensborg were part of the Cariboo-Prince George riding. Now, the riding has been modified to include all of the Bella Coola Valley, with the new boundary sitting at the east of Tweedsmuir Park. Splitting the community in half had been an issue of contention for many years, and was the subject of at least eight letters sent by Valley residents requesting that the boundary be changed. Many people owned property in both ridings, or conducted business in one but lived in another. Residents also pointed out that everyone utilized services located in Bella Coola, such as the

hospital and clinic, local government office, and schools. In addition, the Valley’s isolation already makes it a challenging visit for MP’s, so why complicate matters by having two ridings? Logically, the old boundary made no sense for the day-today existence of residents or their MP’s. Tasked with reconfiguring the boundaries of BC federal electoral districts to grow the number of federal ridings from 36 to 42 due to population growth, the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for the Province of British Columbia proposed an extension of the boundaries of Skeena-Bulkley Valley to include all of the Bella Coola Valley. “I’m glad that the Commission has proposed to unite the communities in the Bella Coola Valley into a single riding. It just makes sense,” said Nathan Cullen, MP for Skeena-Bulkley Valley, reacting to last week’s release of the commission report.

“I have been travelling to Bella Coola once or twice a year ever since I became a Member of Parliament and it has never made any sense to me that Bella Coola, Four Mile and part of Hagensborg are in one riding, while the rest of Hagensborg, Firvale and Stuie are in another.” Cullen supports the Commission’s proposal for Skeena-Bulkley Valley, which doesn’t substantially increase the size of the riding due to recognition of the challenges of representing such a vast riding. The Commissioners concluded that major changes were not required for Skeena-Bulkley Valley and neighboring northern electoral districts. “Though not considered a major change, this is a significant one for the communities of the Bella Coola Valley and for Skeena-Bulkley Valley as a whole. I am excited that folks in the valley will finally be federally represented together rather than apart,” said Cullen.

Candidates announced for Nuxalk Chief and Council Elections Candidates for the Nuxalk Chief and Council were confirmed last week. There will be three candidates running for the position of Chief Councillor, incumbent Andrew Andy, former Marine Manager Wally Webber, and former Band Manger Theresa Hood. There are 12 coun-

cilor positions available and a total of 39 individuals running. These are: Billy Andy Jr., Jeanette Apps, Glenn Clellamin, Gordon Edgar Sr., Melvin Edgar, Darlene Hall, Marshall Hans, Banchi Hanuse, Louise Hilland, Louise Hopkins, Cynthia Khonje, Marlene King, Travis King, Blair Mack, Harvey

Family Literacy Fair held at Bella Coola Elementary

Ariel Mackenzie and Cindy Gamblin at the 'Carrots for Kids' table

The BC Services Card. Your CareCard, and more.

Across Canada, thousands of families, literacy groups, schools, libraries and community organizations gathered to celebrate the importance of literacy and learning in honour of Family Literacy Day – Canada’s largest family literacy initiative. Locally, awareness of the importance of literacy was spread from the Bella Coola Elementary School Gym on February 7 with a wide array of events enjoyed by the whole family. The theme this year was “Learning is Everywhere” celebrated by a poster contest. The Grand Prize winner was Sadie Gunderson, followed by Finn Carlson, Claudia Nelson and the BCE Grade Two class. Thanks to every ones’ excellent efforts! A Book Fair in the library generated a lot of traffic, (free book bucks can only be spent in the library) as did the many tables in the gym that provided free books, or the chance to win books in several draws. The storytelling tent was always busy with young readers eager to listen to stories. New this year was the Movie Theatre highlighting local works completed with funding support Smartfund VCH Digital Storytelling Project. You’ll know the Cake Walk – at BCE it was the Book Walk ; musical chairs with a book as the prize. The “Youth for

Leaders” painted faces and helped throughout the evening. There were a multitude of tables from like-minded community organizations such as Healthy Beginnings, Active Communities, Dental Hygiene, the BCE Speech and Language Program, Carrots for Kids activity table and, of course, the New Leaf Learning Centre. For many, the best part of the evening was listening to first time performers Ariel Mackenzie, age 7, and Kelly Koroluk, age 8, who showed off their fiddling talents. And, Bella Coola experienced its first flash mob! The Chicken Dance appeared from nowhere and suddenly everyone was dancing The aim of the Fair was to raise awareness about the importance of literacy, and to offer practical solutions to increase literacy at home, within the family. “So many people in the Valley are concerned about Literacy,” said Bella Coola Valley Learning Society (BCVLS) Executive Director Lori Campbell. “You can see the interest both from the number of volunteers helping to organize the event today, and by the attendants of the Fair. Many social issues are related to literacy: health, income, economics, education – promoting literacy is key to achieving health and wellness for everyone.”

Many partnerships were in motion at the Literacy Fair, as many volunteers and school staff worked to make the event a success. Thank you to our sponsors who helped make this happen. WLDCU, Central Coast Teachers Association, Kopas Store, BCV Literacy Task Group and the BCV Learning Society. In honour of Family Literacy Day, ABC Life Literacy Canada offers five suggestions on how you can embrace daily learning opportunities. Attend a local Family Literacy Day event in your community. Visit www. FamilyLiteracyDay. ca for event listings. When making your grocery list, have your child write out the items you need to buy. When cooking dinner, involve your children in measuring the ingredients. This helps them understand fractions and measurements. In the car, sing along to songs on the radio. Singing encourages learning patterns of words, rhymes and rhythms, and is strongly connected to language skills. When playing a board game, read the instructions aloud to each other or count how many spaces to travel around the board. For more information, literacy resources or event listings, visit www. FamilyLiteracyDay.ca. Locally visit the New Leaf Learning Centre or call 250 799-5822 for more information.

One card. Many services. The new BC Services Card is part of government’s plan to modernize BC’s health care system. It replaces your CareCard, can be combined with your driver’s licence, and also acts as your photo ID. It’s more convenient and more secure, with enhanced features to protect your personal information. And getting yours is easy. Starting February 15, 2013, and for the next five years, you can simply enrol when renewing your driver’s licence. And even if you don’t drive, you can enrol at the nearest location where driver’s licences are issued. To learn more visit: BCServicesCard.ca

SAMS hosts successful first Basketball Tournament in new gymnasium Submitted by SAMS The Valley’s high school teams, SAMS Grizzlies and Acwsalcta Thunder, the girls Junior All Native team and the Heiltsuk Nation (Bella Bella) girls’ team participated in a fun basketball tournament on February 25 and 26. This was the first time SAMS has hosted a basketball tournament since our new gym was built. It was a great opportunity to get our whole community together for some high school basketball! There were three games played on Friday and four on Saturday. On Friday, SAMS Grizzlies (girls) played the Acwsalcta Thunder (girls), with SAMS Grizzlies the victor with a close score of 44 over 38. SAMS Grizzlies (boys) played Acwsalcta Thunder (boys) with a score of 79 to 39. The last game of the day was the Junior All Native (girls) versus the Heilstuk Nation (girls) with a score of 53 to 31. On Saturday, the Acwsalcta Thunder (girls) played the Heilstuk Nation (girls) with a final score of 36 to 45. The SAMS Junior Grizzlies (boys) played a close game with the Acwsalcta Junior Thunder (boys) with the final tally at 38 to 35. The SAMS Grizzlies (girls) then played Heiltsuk Nation (girls) with a final score of 55 to 41. The final game saw the SAMS Grizzlies

(boys) versus the Acwsalcta Thunder (boys) with a final score of 82 to 73. There was some excellent ball played over these two days and the attendance illustrated huge community support. These high school teams will be competing in Northern zones in February. The boys will be travelling to Dawson Creek and the girls to Fort St. James. Next year, the SAMS girls will be hosting Northern Zones and we won’t be taking the two-day bus ride each way (yeah!) This mini tournament was a great practice for us, as there could be up to 12 teams from across the North travelling here next February. The games were live streamed from the gym into N.E.S so people wouldn’t miss any action while getting a snack. Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time refereeing, scorekeeping, working the concession and the door, security, scheduling and organizing. These events would not be possible without all of you. Thank you to everyone who respected our gym rules and took off their outside shoes before entering and by making use of N.E.S gym for getting a bite to eat from the concession. A big thanks to everyone who participated in this community event; the girl’s basketball team appreciates your support as they train for zones.

It’s really very simple,” said Art Sterritt, the group’s executive director. He says his group has run out of time and patience as the hearings drag on, and the $280,000 it was allotted for the proceedings is no match for the $250 million he says Enbridge is spending on its legal team. “We haven’t been getting clear answers, and so we’ve had to use legal help. Having done that has cost us a lot of money, and it’s not money we have,” Sterritt said. He says having the group that represents nine Aboriginal bands leave the hearings means there won't be a proper review

Art Sterritt of the Coastal First Nations says the organization simply doesn't have the money to participate in the Enbridge hearings of Enbridge’s claims about the safety of plans to pipe oil across northern B.C. to Kitimat for shipment overseas. “There are many ways to get the questions across, but the reality is we’re really the ones that are on the front lines of impact,” he said. “The

questions are pertinent when they come from us. We know the consequences of all this stuff.” An environmental panel resumed hearings last week in Prince Rupert with this round expected to focus on Enbridge’s plans for responding to emergencies like oil spills. “This is a David and

Goliath scenario,” said Art Sterritt. “It seems the only party that can afford this long and extended hearing process is Enbridge and, perhaps, the Federal Government. The average citizen can’t afford to be here and the Coastal First Nations cannot afford to be here.” “We planned to ask questions that included: does diluted bitumen sink; how quickly can a spill be responded to and how effective can cleanup be; how long will spilled oil remain in the ecosystem and what are the costs of a spill cleanup and who will pay.” It is clear that more scientific study is needed on emergency preparedness, he said. “Despite the lack of information it is continuing with the process. Ultimately this means the JRP will not have the information it needs to make an informed recommen-

dation and that in turn means the Federal Government will be making decisions not based on science.” The funding disparity isn’t the only JRP issue the Coastal First Nations is unhappy with. “We are dismayed with the nature of the hearing process itself. Enbridge witnesses are not answering questions or their answers are self-serving and nonresponsive. We see cross-examination answers by Enbridge witnesses, which are crafted with, or provided by, other persons sitting behind these witnesses who cannot be cross-examined. This does not seem fair to us at all.” “We had agreed to participate in this process on the basis that the JRP was going to be a decision-maker on whether or not the project would go ahead. Then the Federal Government unilaterally changed

the decision-making process,” he said. “This was blatantly unfair and smacks of double dealing – something we as First Nation have become accustomed to with this government.” “Coastal First Nations will continue to monitor these proceedings and we will do what we can to participate given our limited resources,” Sterritt said. “We are profoundly disappointed with the nature of this process. Taken together these problems undermine the legitimacy and authenticity of the hearing process, our pursuit of the true facts and, ultimately, a just result.” Sterritt, the executive director of the Coastal First Nations, said pulling out was a difficult decision because the Emergency Response Panel is dealing with important issues.
