Elected to his first term as Chief Councilor for the Nuxalk Nation, Wally Webber celebrates with re-elected councilor Blair Mack
Wally Webber elected Chief Councilor for Nuxalk Nation Community members witnessed the counting of the ballots, Tuesday night, at the Nuxalk Hall. With three candidates to choose from for Chief Councilor, incumbent Andrew Andy, Theresa Hood, and Wally Webber as well as 35 potential Councilors, the counting went well into the night. Early results had Wally Webber in the lead with double the numbers of his closest competitor, which continued
throughout the night, landing him the top spot with 277 votes. Andrew Andy received 144 votes, and Theresa Hood 100. There were a lot more votes than expected this year with well over 500 being received. There will be a lot of new faces on council this year. Of the nine incumbent councilors seeking re-election, only four were voted back in. The 12 councilors elected,
in order of votes: Darlene Hall(308), Peter Tallio(287), Megan Moody(282), Banchi Hanuse(262), James Mack Sr.*(247), Blair Mack*(245), Marshall Hans Jr.*(219), Ken Morton(206), Spencer Siwallace(199), Cynthia Khonje(193), Rhonda Morton(179), and either Harvey Mack* or Jason Moody both of whom got 172 at ballot closing. (* denotes re-elected) Hall carried a respectable
lead throughout the night, with the tight race going between Khonje, R. Morton, and Siwallace, who traded spots at every early count. This is also the first time such a large number of women will be present on council. With a first term Chief, eight first term Councilors, five of whom are women, the dynamic of council will definitely be changed over the next two years. “I am sure that we will continue
to all work together and am confident that the women will keep us all running smoothly. It’s really nice to see so many women getting involved in politics, and I look forward to hearing all of the councilors fresh ideas. Every council member will be kept well informed and we will continue to be accountable to the Nuxalk community,” said Chief-Elect Webber. Congratulations to you all!

Work Underway to Repair Flood-Damaged Infrastructure in Tweedsmuir Park Joan Sawicki
Work is underway to repair and replace infrastructure within Tweedsmuir Provincial Park that was damaged or destroyed during the 2010 flood. Restoration projects include Young Creek bridge on the Tote Road, Stillwater trail and bridge to reestablish access to Turner Lake, Goat Creek bridge along the Panorama Ridge trail and Burnt Bridge connection on the Valley Loop trail. “Flood damage to Tweedsmuir Park infrastructure was very significant and has really impacted public access to and enjoyment of the Park”, said Steven Hodgson, BC
Parks Area Supervisor for Bella Coola Area. “Now that most of the assessment and design work has been done, we are really looking forward to getting this repair work completed on the ground”. The Young Creek Bridge along the Tote Road is the first project to get underway. Located slightly upstream from the two bridges that were destroyed, the new, approximately 36 metre bridge will be concrete-decked on steel girders that are spliced in the middle. The bridge was constructed over the winter and is now being transported and installed on site. BC Parks had made the decision several months ago to put the
Young Creek Bridge work out in several small contracts, rather than one large one, in order to provide more opportunity for local contractors to bid on the work. “This has made my job a bit more complicated but it has been worth it, in my opinion,” said local Project Manager, Hans Granander. “While the bridge itself was built elsewhere, other construction aspects, including design plans, site preparation, rip rap, wood cribbing and road restoration, have been carried out by local contractors. With the completion of the Young Creek bridge, the Tote Road will again be open to 4WD vehicle traffic, re-establishing
access for private property owners, DFO and the general public who have long enjoyed using the Tote Road for recreational purposes. “Vehicle access along the Tote Road has always been a delicate balancing act,” said Hodgson. “While it allows people access to enjoy recreational values in the Park, this section of the Atnarko River is ecologically sensitive and conservation priorities need to remain paramount”. The Young Creek bridge is scheduled to be completed and open to vehicle traffic by late March. The Stillwater trail and bridge and the Burnt Bridge and Goat Creek bridge projects are all planned for comple-

Ministry of Agriculture Tracing seafood from ocean to plate The B.C. government's Buy Local program will encourage diners and shoppers to connect the B.C. seafood they are about to enjoy with the place and people who harvested it, through $69,794 in funding to promote Ecotrust Canada's 'ThisFish' program. As Ecotrust Canada president Brenda Reid-Kuecks stated "Ecotrust Canada's ThisFish traceability system empowers people to make more informed
choices about the seafood they buy by providing them with trusted information on a product's quality, sustainability and authenticity." ThisFish is a web-based seafood traceability system that was developed in collaboration with the B.C. fishing industry to connect consumers to fish harvesters. "Recent studies have shown that one-third of seafood in North America is mislabelled. By tracing your seafood using ThisFish, you can
discover whether it is local and comes from a B.C. fish harvester." said Reid-Kuecks. The funding will be used toward expanding the market potential of traceable B.C. seafood by engaging local small retail and restaurant markets. The system also is used to market and share information along the seafood supply chain. It will assure consumers that the products they buy are indeed local B.C. seafood. The Buy Local pro-
Williams Lake & District Credit Union Community Investment Fund Williams Lake and District Credit Union is now accepting applications from local organizations and community groups for projects and initiatives geared to helping local communities achieve greater economic success and improve quality of life.

Information on the application process and requirements is available on our website at: www.wldcu.com/Personal/InOurCommunity/CommunityInvestmentFund
or at any Credit Union branch. Preference will be given to organizations that are members of Williams Lake and District Credit Union. Application Deadline is March 31, 2013
gram offers successful applicants matching funds up to $100,000 to launch or expand local food marketing campaigns. Building the local market for British Columbia foods is a key commitment of government's Agrifoods Strategy, a component of the BC Jobs Plan, to lead the agrifoods sector growth into a $14-billion-a- year industry by 2017. The provin-
cial government's Buy Local program is administered by the Investment Agriculture Foundation of B.C, an industry-led organization fostering growth and innovation for BC agrifoods. Minister of Agriculture Norm Letnick says "British Columbia's seafood industry has a wholesale value of $1.4 billion and provides thousands of jobs in the commercial fishing
and seafood processing sectors. Programs like ThisFish will encourage local retailers and restaurants to use B.C. seafood products and consumers to buy local." Quick Facts: * In 2011, B.C. seafood was served in approximately two billion meals in 73 countries. * More than 100 species of fish, shellfish and marine plants are produced from British
Columbia's oceans and fresh waters. * British Columbia is a global leader in sustainable fisheries management. * Salmon products generated 53 per cent of the total wholesale value of all B.C. seafood.

Sasquatch Tracks Sighted in Bella Coola Janice Kyle
On the morning of Tuesday, February 19, Obie Mack looked out his window and spied several huge footprints outlined in mud crossing the street in front of his house. After closer investigation, he quickly called his son, Lorne, to come and take pictures. The print was clearly visible in the mud with tracks crossing the asphalt. With the length of those strides it could only be a sasquatch! Lorne made a mold of the 17 inches print. (only 100 tracks in North America in plaster are archived; all of which resemble a huge human foot
but much bigger.) Coincidentally, our Walk/Run group walked by the spot later that day and were able to take pictures. Thrilling and mystifying! The Bella Coola Valley is no stranger to the sasquatch; in Nuxalk, named “Buks” or “Sniniq”. The McIlwrath books are filled with Nuxalk legends as are most First Nations cultures. The word “sasquatch” was originally an Native word from California. The famed journalist and recorder of sasquatch stories, John Green, (now 86) visited Bella Coola in the 1950s and gathered the following sightings: 1940s
- at Jacobsen Bay by Clayton Mack; 1958 at Burnt Bridge by George Robson and Bert Solhjell; 1962 in the estuary by an unnamed woman and 2 children; 1965 at Green Bay by Jimmy Nelson; 1969 near Anahim Lake by Pan Phillips. Several Elders have shared their stories with me on Elders’ picnics; sadly some of those Elders have passed away. Clayton Mack is seen in a recently enlarged photo in the Bella Coola Valley Inn restaurant holding his Bigfoot mold. Two stories of sightings around 4-Mile are currently circulating. Fact or Fiction?
I vividly remember the day in 1967, as a young teen, my father’s “Argosy” magazine, for hunting/ fishing enthusiasts, lay on the kitchen table. The cover displayed the now famous picture of a “sasquatch” taken by Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin. This picture from a 16mm film of a female has stood the test of decades of forensic study and has not been discounted. I was to remain intrigued by these stories all my life. I was later to meet Dr. John Bindernagle, a respected wildlife biologist and one of the foremost authorities on this topic. He pioneered scientific
study of Bigfoot. He had joined one of my 4-day kayak trips to learn to paddle. Why? So he could paddle into almost inaccessible places by kayak to set trip cameras on wildlife trails to capture a sasquatch on film. This unassuming man told great stories around the campfire! His aim has always been to establish scientifically reliable knowledge, not through tabloid journalism but careful analysis and professional review. He has recorded sightings, tracks, stories and existing evidence and data. This is included in his book, “North America’s Great Ape: The Sasquatch”. Bella Coola is mentioned in several places. A hunter east of Bella Coola watched a sasquatch eating berries using its hands. Bears don’t do that! “The Discovery of Sasquatch”, his 2010 version, challenges the perception that seems to persist; the sasquatch is “widely dismissed as a misidentified bear or

Mysterious footprint found Feb. 19th cast in plaster. a human hoaxer” even after over 3000 documented North American sightings. John is not alone. There are conferences of other likeminded biologists who travel the world to record the data on the sasquatch. In North America stories abound from California northward on the West Coast to Colorado and as early in European history as the 1750’s by explorers in western Saskatchewan. And here is the best news of all! Andrew Robson, descendent of the original settlers of the Valley, is an author and researcher

on the topic. He has written “Sasquatch Revelations of Bella Coola”, a compilation of 35 local stories (many from signed affidavits) and Nuxalk stories. It will be available at Kopas Store in April.

Great Bear Rainforest named one National Geographics Best Trips for 2013 The National Geographic Traveler editors have presented the new year's 20 must-see places and the Central Coast is among them, being referred to as ‘Canada’s fragile coastal wilderness.’ Travel editor Robert Earle Howells describes the Great Bear Rainforest as ‘the planet’s largest intact coastal temperate rain forest, is an untamed strip of land stretching 250 miles along British Columbia’s coast that harbors extensive tracts of giant hemlock, Sitka spruce,
and red cedar. The mighty trees rise high above a moist and ferny forest floor patrolled by coastal wolves, minks, Canada’s largest grizzly bears, and rare white Kermode spirit bears.’ Howell goes on to introduce the threat of Enbridge, saying,‘this tranquillity has recently been rocked by a proposal to send tar sands crude oil from Alberta to a terminal at Kitimat in the Great Bear Rainforest. The project would entail two pipelines
crossing some of the world’s largest salmon-producing watersheds and a steady procession of supertankers plying the narrow channels. The local First Nations and environmental groups are vehemently opposed, fearing the catastrophic effects of an Exxon Valdez–type spill.’ More information and the complete list of National Geographics Best Trips for 2013 can be found online at www. nationalgeographic. com Photograph by Paul Nicklen, National Geographic

BC Coroners Service urges proper preparation for backcountry outings Avalanche season is reaching its peak in British Columbia. The BC Coroners Service is encouraging all those going out into the back-

working with the Canadian Avalanche Centre (CAC) and Emergency Management BC (EMBC), has found that over the past
several winters, avalanche awareness has been improving. A higher proportion of backcountry users are carrying essential avalanche safety

person buried in an avalanche can suffocate in minutes - long before help can arrive - so the ability to perform quick and effective self-rescue and companion rescue is vital. Information about training courses is provided through the CAC. On the CAC website
at www.avalanche. ca - you will find a basic online course, as well as information on introductory and advanced Avalanche Skills Training courses. This training is essential for anyone planning to venture into the backcountry in winter.

Mexican funk, Latin Soul: Locarno to play Music Fest 2013 Locarno is the Latin project of Juno award winning musician and Paperboys frontman, Tom Landa. The music, like him, is part Mexican but with strong doses of Cuban Son, Folk Music, Pop and Funk. The music is truly original, offering a new flavour in the Latin music genre. Born and raised in Mexico City to a Mexican father and a Canadian mother, Landa moved to Ontario during his teenage years where he put his Mexican musical roots behind him in favour of the sounds of his new environment. However, on hearing the Mexican American band, Los Lobos, he rediscovered his musical roots, and began not only to learn more about this music, but also to write and
arrange songs in this genre. Landa’s goal is to create music which is heavily influenced by Mexican music, but using the elements and musicians around him in his hometown of Vancouver. He has partnered with Alex Cuba’s Juno award winning producer, Joby Baker, to create songs in both English and Spanish. Surrounded by the finest of BC's Latin musicians, including trumpet, percussion and drums, violin, trombone, and vocals, Locarno's debut album “percolates with warmth and groove,” and achieves “an authentic cultural reference,” according to Worldbeat Canada radio. Arriba! Enjoy this exciting sound at the Bella Coola Music Festival on July 20-21!

March 10, 2013 Ministry of Environment Province marks second anniversary of Japanese earthquake and tsunami On Monday, March 11, the government of B.C. will mark the solemn two-year anniversary of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami, which claimed approximately 16,000 lives and damaged more than 100,000 buildings. "This was a truly tragic event, and as we approach the twoyear anniversary we are honouring the memory of those who
lost their lives," said Environment Minister Terry Lake. "A disaster like this can leave a long-lasting impact and the people of Japan have shown amazing resiliency and spirit in rebuilding their communities." Community spirit is a trait the people of Japan share with British Columbians and it is this spirit that is driving efforts to deal
with the aftermath of the tsunami and related debris washing up along B.C.'s coast. Among some of the activities taking place in honour of the two-year anniversary include a volunteer cleanup at French Beach Provincial Park in Sooke from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. today organized by the Surfrider Foundation's Vancouver Island chapter. Another
event to commemorate the anniversary took place yesterday at Pacific Rim National Park where the Japan Love Project, a group made up mostly of international students from Vancouver, helped sort different types of marine debris and remove it from the beach. This group also will take part in a ceremony with community officials in Ucluelet later
today. "We are lucky to have such a strong engaged volunteer effort in B.C. and recognize the time and effort both individuals and groups, like the Surfrider Foundation, put into keeping our beaches clean and safe for everyone to enjoy," said Lake. While certain areas along the coast are seeing an incremental increase in marine debris, to-
date only a minimal amount is confirmed to have been a result of the tsunami. The joint federalprovincial Tsunami Debris Coordinating Committee continues to monitor the situation and has a scalable plan in place to deal with monitoring and surveillance of debris, collection and disposal of debris, and volunteer engagement. If someone
finds property of value or a personal item that appears to be tsunami-related debris from Japan they should contact the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) using the email address designated specifically for collecting data on tsunami debris sightings or finds: DisasterDebris@noaa. gov
New Democrats propose practical step to increase voter turnout among young people New Democrat leader Adrian Dix announced he will introduce legislation that will lower the age at which voters can first register with Elections B.C. The legislation is intended to encourage greater political participation and
voter turnout among young people. The announcement was made to a room full of youth who support the change and hope it will encourage their peers to get involved in the political process. “This legislation
won’t change the voting age, but it will give young people the opportunity to register to vote before they turn 18,” said Dix. “The evidence shows that young people who are registered to vote are more likely to make their voices heard at
election time.” Dix noted that as few as one in five voters between the ages of 18 and 25 are registered to vote, making them the demographic that is least likely to show up and cast their ballot during elections. “If we want

democracy to be meaningful to young people in this province, we need to work harder to engage them,” said Dix. "This bill will show young people we're serious about including them in our democratic processes." “Currently we’re in a vicious circle where young people don’t turn up to vote so some of the issues that affect them, such as high student debt, aren’t being taken seriously by the government, which further discourages them from voting," said New Democrat advanced educa-
tion critic Michelle Mungall. "We can see evidence of this with the latest Liberal budget, which cut the budget for advanced education and skills training and offered no help to young people who are struggling to afford the training they need to succeed in a twenty-first century economy." In 2011 the Chief Electoral Officer of British Columbia, Keith Archer, recommended lowering the age of voter registration as a means to encourage voter turnout. Mr. Archer noted “the segment of the

voting population 18 to 25 is more difficult for us to contact and to ensure that they're on the list,” and suggested lowering the voter registration age would go a long way to improving voter turnout. “It’s long past time to take action to reverse the trend towards decreasing voter turnout by showing young people that we care about their votes,” said Dix. “I'm bringing forward this legislation as part of my commitment to bring change for the better, one practical step at a time.”
