Youngsters enjoying the moment at the 61st Bella Coola Fall Fair

Community enjoys 61st Annual Bella Coola Fall Fair Bella Coola’s 61st Fall Fair was yet another successful event for the whole community. The weather cooperated (much more than last year) and the rain held off for the whole day. The Fair kicked off with the traditional horse parade. Young ones decorated their horses

and bikes to begin the parade from North Grant Road to the fairgrounds. Edie Moody and family once again decorated a float in memory of their son and brother, John Moody, who passed away three years ago. The Bella Coola Firefighters were busy all day long serving burgers and fries, and the smell

of goodies filled the grounds. There were tons of activities for the kids to do, such as fishy ring toss, the popular train ride, and much more. As usual, the Bella Coola Fall Fair Logger Sports were a big draw. There were several new competitors this year as the visiting forestry workers entered

the games with gusto. The crowd thoroughly enjoyed the Logger Sports and all the antics of the competitors. Once again, Bull of the Woods went to reigning champ Gary Edgar, while Abra Silver walked away with Lady of the Woods for the third time. The Scott Moody Memorial Most

Sportsmanlike Logger Award went to Maria Savard and Brandon Brecht. This year, Scott’s son Jason Moody was on hand to present the award in his father’s honour. Thanks to all the organizers and fair volunteers for putting on this celebrated community event. See you next year!

Bella Coola man ‘lucky to be alive’ after grizzly attack Lacerte played dead and was rescued almost immediately afterwards by a passing vehicle and transported to the hospital. “The whole thing lasted less than a few minutes,” he said. “I’m sure the traffic saved me.” Conservation Officers are now in the area trying to locate the bear, and CO Len Butler says they are also trying to deter-

By Caitlin Thompson Jerry Lacerte isn’t sure how he survived last week’s sudden attack, but he’s still amazed that he escaped. “I shouldn’t be alive,” Lacerte said last week as he was preparing to be released from hospital. “It’s not fun to dance around with a grizzly bear.” Lacerte was heading east on Highway 20, just above Thorsen Creek, at about 8:15 am last Friday morning. He said he just caught a glimpse of the bear out of the corner of his eye before the attack. “She was about 50 feet behind me on the other side of the road,” he said. “I turned and she was galloping towards me.” Lacerte had just enough time to turn around and tried to make himself look big, but she charged on.

Butler agrees that Lacerte is lucky to have escaped the attack and is expected to fully recover from his injuries. “Just from the strength and the power of these animals, Jerry is a very lucky individual,” said Butler. “We all know the size of the grizzlies… it’s definitely life threatening and it could have been for him.”

The bears are in the river right now feeding on the salmon and it sounds like the subject was walking along the highway and got between the sow and the cubs,” Butler said. “People have to be aware when there are bears in the rivers like that.

Coastal First Nations new film makes strong case against grizzly bear trophy hunt BY CAITLIN THOMPSON A documentary film released last week by the Coastal First Nations is once again stirring up controversy around B.C.’s grizzly hunt. The film profiles the land, people, and bears on the Central Coast and focuses most specifically on the killing of a young male grizzly in the Kwatna estuary that Coastal First Nations field technicians had nicknamed ‘Cheeky.’ The Coastal First Nations, a ninemember group that includes local nations such as the Nuxalk, Heiltsuk, Wuikinuxv, and Kitasoo-Xaixais, declared a ban on trophy hunting in their traditional territories last fall. The group erected signs and continues to patrol the area during hunting

season, asking bear hunters to leave. The B.C. government, however, doesn’t recognize the ban, and continues to issue grizzly bear hunting permits for the area. ‘Cheeky’ was killed under one of these permits last spring. While the B.C. government claims that the hunt is based on ‘sound science,’ the film questions this claim and makes the case that the trophy hunting of grizzly bears is unethical, barbaric, and in complete opposition to the traditional laws governing the First Nations territories where these bears reside. “We would ask that the Coastal First Nations respect the province’s authority over the harvest,” said Steve Thomson, B.C.’s Minister of Forests

Leon Barnett, Realtor 250-982-2704

and Lands. “It’s a harvest that is based on best available science. We believe we have a good management regime in place and we would ask that they respect that.” According to a 2012 estimate, the B.C. government says there are about 15,000 grizzly bears in the province. Under the current management plan, about 300 grizzlies are shot by resident and non-resident hunters in B.C. each year. In 2012, nonresidents killed 1,141 black bears and 69 grizzlies in B.C., while residents killed 2,767 black bears and 181 grizzlies. Grizzly bear hunting is a costly sport – especially for nonresidents, who can expect to pay up to $16,000 for a guided hunt. The Guide Outfitters Association of British Columbia

estimates its members employ more than 2,000 people and generate about $116-million worth of economic activity each year. The Coastal First Nations says bears are worth much more alive, as eco-tourism continues to thrive in B.C. and bear watching is a huge draw. “We basically want to send the message that bears are worth more alive than they are dead,” said Doug Neasloss, chief councillor with the Kitasoo Band Council. “We fully intend on implementing our ban again this year.” Dr. Chris Darimont, a conservation scientist with the University of Victoria who works closely with the communities of the Central Coast on their bear monitoring projects, is says the province has ‘little to no idea’ how many bears live in B.C. “The idea that this hunt is based on sound science is absurd. Very notably, the models from the coast don’t include salmon as a parameter. That’s absurd, that sort of omission,” said Darimont, who’s in the process of publishing a peerreviewed paper on bear populations after a season of field work on the central B.C. coast. “We know that grizzlies in particular are closely coupled to how much salmon there are in ecosystems. We know with clear certainty that there’s far less salmon now. So we can infer really confidently that there are far less bears.” Darimont also

Clayton Stoner, a B.C.-born hockey player for the Minnesota Wild, is the latest NHL figure to face controversy after killing a grizzly bear during a hunt last spring. takes issue with using science to determine ethics “Science provides information, it does not provide the permission to behave unethically,” he said. “It is unethical behaviour to kill something without eating it.” Megan Moody, a researcher with the Nuxalk Nation, agrees. “The truth is we that we really don’t know how many bears are there,” she says. “I would rather protect them than pretend we know what’s going on and allow the need-

less killing of them.” A trophy hunt of any kind is controversial to many, but the grizzly seems to hold special significance in this debate as virtually no one eats grizzly bear meat, making the entire process of killing the animal one of ‘sport.’ “This hunt is inhumane and barbaric,” said William Housty of the Heiltsuk Nation. “I don’t think it’s just a First Nations issue to have respect for these animals; it’s bigger than that, it’s

wider than that.” Recent polls suggest the vast majority of B.C. residents agree. Last week, Coastal First Nations released an opinion poll conducted by McAllister Opinion Research which found that 87 per cent of British Columbians agree the grizzly hunt “should be banned,” including 78 per cent of respondents who “strongly” support such a closure.

Guest editorial from North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice Thank you to the Coast Mountain News for providing me my first opportunity to write in as your MLA. I can’t begin to express what an incredible honour it is to represent the central coast in the BC legislature. It’s been an eventful summer, with a steep learning curve, and I really appreciate the kindness and patience that North Coasters have shown me as I get settled in to my new role. I’m looking forward to the challenge of serving rural and remote communities with the same energy and care of former MLA Gary Coons. Please feel free to call my community office toll free at 1-866-624-7734 if you need help with any provincial issues. We’ll do our best to advocate for you and help you navigate government programs and services. Shortly after the election, MLAs were called to Victoria. I experienced my first legislative session this summer. It was a privilege to have the opportunity to speak out about important issues facing the communities of the North Coast constituency. For example, I spoke out about the incredible challenges facing British Columbians from rural and remote

I was also given the opportunity to highlight the cenotaph and warrior pole dedication commemorating the Bella Bella World War II Royal Canadian Air Force Station, the airmen and local aboriginal veterans who served in the various wars and peacekeeping missions during the 20th century. It was a great honour to be

part of the celebrations that were held in Shearwater. On a lower note, I drew attention to the devastating fire that gutted Bella Bella’s only grocery store, post office and library. I led a book collecting campaign out of my community office in Prince Rupert and have stacks of books ready to donate to the new library once that’s up and running. In my first chance to stand up in question period I asked the Minister of Justice why the

I also called on the government to make a commitment to truly sustainable and principled resource development that respects First Nations rights and title and takes into consideration the people living adjacent to and amongst the natural resources we exploit. As the newly appointed Rural and Northern Health Critic, I was given the opportunity to ask the Minister of Health questions about the health budget. I inquired about First Nations health care, addictions and mental health services in the North, maternity challenges in Bella Coola and other remote communities, retaining doctors and health professionals in rural areas, drug costs, and funding cuts to stop AIDS/HIV in the North, just to name a few of the topics we discussed. On that note, please get in touch with my office and let us know if there are health issues of concern that I should be looking into. While I may not have the opportunity to closely question the

The film has also attracted some unwanted attention for Clayton Stoner, a B.C.-born NHL player who currently plays for the Minnesota Wild. While the film does not name Stoner or show his face, a photo was leaked showing Stoner holding the severed head and paws of ‘Cheeky’ the day before the film’s release. “Those photos were taken by one of my field technicians this spring,” confirmed Jessie Housty of the Heiltsuk First Nation. “In this particular case, our technician was invited onto the hunter’s boat and had a conversation with him. The man in the photo identified himself to our field technicians as being Clayton Stoner.” Stoner issued a statement saying he obtained the grizzly bear permit fairly through the government lottery system. “I love to hunt and fish and will continue to do so with my family and friends in British Columbia,” he said. Housty said the film is not intended to vilify individual hunters and the Coastal First Nations did not leak the pictures. She remains concerned that the pictures will draw attention away from the main message of the film. “This is a bigger issue for us than one hunter. It’s about the hunting culture. It’s not about finding a villain, it’s about stimulating dialogue and changing the narrative we see,” said Housty. ““I think it’s safe to say that we really hope that the focus is on the heart of this issue.” The film is available for viewing at www.bearsforever.ca

6.1 magnitude earthquake strikes off northwest coast of Vancouver Island A 6.1 magnitude earthquake struck off the northwest coast of Vancouver Island at 1:19 p.m. PT Tuesday, followed by a series of at least five aftershocks, but officials say no tsunami is expected. The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Weather Service was the first to report the quake's epicentre was approximately 150 kilometres northwest of Port

Alice, on Vancouver Island, but said a tsunami was not expected. 4 things to know about earthquakes The quake was initially rated 6.2 magnitude by the NOAA, but then downgraded to 6.0 by the USGS, while Natural Resources Canada rated the quake 6.1 magnitude. NRC seismologist Alison Bird says there is no cause for concern because the quake was out in the ocean rather than

underneath people. "I would consider this to be a moderate earthquake. It doesn't pose any threat to people. There is no tsunami expected. We haven't even received any fault reports yet. It's far enough away from communities that it really isn't any worry," said Bird. Residents in Bella Bella, Port Alice and Port Hardy contacted by CBC News said they did not feel the quake or its aftershocks, but Bird says it is a

reminder folks should take part in the provincewide Shakeout B.C. earthquake drill next month.

Aftershocks recorded

At least five aftershocks were reported in the same area including a 4.6 magnitude at 2:05 p.m, a 4.8 magnitude at 2:25 p.m., a 5.0 magnitude at 3:29., 4.2 magnitude at 4:07, and 5.9 magnitude at 5:23 p.m. "The earthquakes had 'strike-slip' mech-

anisms which means the motion was mainly horizontal," said CBC meteorologist Johanna Wagstaffe, who has a background in seismology. "Here, two plates are sliding past each other, rather than one plate moving underneath another one. These quakes are likely connected to the Queen Charlotte fault rather than the Cascadia subduction zone, but this is a complicated section of West Coast tecton-

ics. It's possible these quakes are connected to last year's October 2012 7.8 magnitude quake as well." The area of the ocean floor west and north of B.C., often referred to as the Pacific Ring of Fire, is known for its seismic activity. On Tuesday evening, a magnitude 6.5 earthquake struck near the Izu Islands in southern Japan. Tremors were felt in Tokyo, but no damage was reported and no

tsunami expected. The Japan quake was not connected to the B.C. quakes. On Monday, a much smaller 3.9 magnitude earthquake registered approximately 119 kilometres southwest of Port Alice, according to Natural Resources Canada. Farther to the northwest, a 7.0 quake last week shook near the coast of Adak, one of Alaska's Aleutian Islands. Files from CBC News

12 violins partially donated by Larsen Music in Victoria. Donations of violins are welcome. There is a ground swell of interest from adults so please let the New Leaf Learning Centre know if you would like to join in! If we don't have enough fiddles, the program will sponsor

the first two months of rental ($20/month) so that you can get started! The benefit of renting is that students may take their violin home to practice right away. Future developments hopefully will include joining “Strings Across the Chilcotin- Caribou,” a program in Redstone

and Anaham funded by Caribou Mental Health that pays for visiting instructors several times per year. Fundraising will enable those instructors to come to Bella Coola to teach, call a family square dance and perform concerts. Please call 250 7995822 to learn more and to register!

September is here and with it the start of a new school year and a reminder to drivers that school zone speed restrictions are in effect. From September to June between the hours of 0800 - 1700 the maximum speed in school zones is 30 km/hr.

Drivers exceeding the maximum speed can expect to receive a ticket ranging from $193-$253. Speeds in excess of 40 kms/hr over the posted limit can result in larger fines and vehicle impoundment. The reason for the 30 km/hr school speed restriction is that the odds of a pedestrian

child surviving being hit by a car at 30 km/ hr are 90 per cent. At 50 km/hr the odds drop to 10 per cent. Playground zones are in effect from dusk to dawn year round. For more tips on driver and pedestrian safety check out icbc. com Lets be safe on the road and watch out for the kids.
