Michael Wigle's famous bear-viewing shot on the Atnarko River, used by the BC government to promote tourism in British Columbia
New study claims bear watching more profitable than hunting BY CAITLIN THOMPSON A new study released last week claims that bear watching is much more profitable than bear hunting. The study was conducted by the Center for Responsible Travel (CREST), a non-profit research institute with offices in Washington, DC and at Stanford University. Founded in 2003, CREST’s website states that their mission is to ‘promote responsible tourism policies and practices globally so that local communities may thrive and steward their cultural resources and biodiversity.’ Entitled ‘The Economic Impact of Bear Viewing and Bear Hunting in the Great Bear Rainforest of British Columbia,’ the study alleges that in 2012, bear viewing in the Great Bear Rainforest, which has been growing rapidly over the last decade, generated 12 times more in visitor spending than bear hunting and over 11 times in direct revenue for BC’s provincial government. The study also states that bear-viewing companies directly employed an estimated 510 persons in 2012, while guide-hunting outfitters generated only 11 jobs that same year. The study has been welcomed by those arguing that bear hunting
is bad for the tourism business. The Coastal First Nations (CFN), a nine-member group that includes local nations such as the Nuxalk, Heiltsuk, Wuikinuxv, and KitasooXaixais, declared a ban on trophy hunting in their traditional territories in the fall of 2012. The group erected signs and patrolled the area during last year’s hunting season, asking bear hunters to leave. CREST is calling on the B.C. government to reconsider its hunting policies in light of these findings, but so far the province has refused to change its policies. Lead researcher, Martha Honey, said the report indicates that the province is putting more money into managing the hunt than it gets back. “It seemed to us quite clear that the government is spending more to sort of manage and oversee hunting than it is earning from revenue from hunting,” she said. “This study reinforces what First Nations in the area have been saying for years,” said Kitasoo/ Xai'xais councillor Doug Neasloss. “Bears are worth more alive than they are dead. That goes for our communities, the ecosystems on the coast, and now we find out it’s true for the B.C. government too.” Ecotourism, including bear viewing, has grown rapidly over
the past decade on B.C.'s Central Coast, said Honey. People from around the world come to the Great Bear Rainforest in the hopes of seeing black, grizzly and kermode bears in their natural habitat. “I’ve worked as a bear viewing guide for the past three seasons,” said Jason Moody of the Nuxalk Nation. “Those numbers reflect what we’re seeing, for sure. There’s so much potential for tourism and hospitality, but trophy hunting is holding things back. And that makes it harder for First Nations to create jobs for our people that are in line with our laws and our traditions.” While the government has not entered into a debate about the moral and ethical issues surrounding the grizzly bear hunt, a Ministry of Forests spokesperson said the ministry is disappointed in the report, claiming the study creates an artificial divide between bear viewing and hunting, which are not necessarily mutually exclusive activities. Scott Ellis, president of the Guide Outfitters Association of B.C, agrees. “There’s no conflict between hunting and viewing. I don’t think the two things are incompatible,” he said. “Absolutely we need a hunt,”
says Ellis. “From my perspective, the bear population is fine, healthy, and growing. But bears like all other species need to be managed and hunting is one of the management tools.” Last December the Ministry recently released a peer-reviewed study entitled “Predicting grizzly bear density in western North America,” which was co-authored by two provincial wildlife biologists and was published in the science journal PLOS ONE. The aim of the report was to ‘provide further insight into grizzly populations in B.C.” The predictions are based on a model that generated population estimates for all areas of B.C. According to the model, B.C. is home to 13,131 grizzly bears. The government claims that the study reaffirms that their management practices are sound and sustainable, stating that “grizzly bear harvest rates in British Columbia are set conservatively and well below what the population can sustain.” According to government numbers, hunters have historically killed around 300 grizzly bears a year out of an estimated population of 15,000, or a two per cent harvest rate. However, a separate study published in the same science journal
two months earlier challenges these latest findings, saying that the government’s methods of estimating populations are simply too inaccurate and the kill rates are too high, comparing the methods to a game of Russian roulette. Based on an analysis of 10 years of government data, the study called on the government to reduce the quotas by at least 50 percent, claiming that in many regions where hunting is permitted, more grizzlies have been killed than even government targets allow. One of the authors of the study, SFU biologist Kyle Artelle, says that in at least one regional population, hunters killed 24 more bears than the local quota permitted. Numbers, however, are not the heart of the issue for those concerned with the larger moral and ethical questions surrounding hunting an animal for sport and not food. As the government refuses to entertain these perspectives and chooses only to focus solely on the economic and scientific approach, it will be up to individuals to make their views known. “This is an issue that needs to be addressed based on principles,” said Jess Housty, a councilor with the Heiltsuk Nation. “We really hope that the focus is on the heart of this issue.”

Anahim Lake’s Carey Price chosen for 2014 Olympic Team Anahim Lake’s Carey Price has been chosen to represent Canada as part of the 2014 Winter Olympics mens hockey team. Price, a member of the Ulkatcho First Nation, grew up in Anahim Lake and has been playing for the Montreal Canadiens for six seasons. Price has served as a role model for aboriginal youth, especially those residing in remote, isolated communities.
Anahim Lake's Carey Price will play for Team Canada at the 2014 Olympics
Price’s mother Linda was the chief of the Ulkatcho Nation, and his father Jerry was drafted as a goaltender by the Philadelphia Flyers. Price used to travel back and forth between Anahim Lake and Williams Lake three times a week, a round trip of almost 700 kilometres, to play minor hockey. Eventually Price’s father bought a plane to make the trip less arduous!
Price often returns to his home community during the summer months, where he still occasionally partakes in the Anahim Lake Rodeo. Price is one of three goalies chosen for Team Canada. Vancouver Canuck’s Roberto Luongo (who led Team Canada to gold in 2010) and Phoenix Coyote’s Mike Smith are also on the roster. Including Price, there are five players
from B.C: Penticton’s Duncan Keith, Sicamous’s Shea Weber, Smither’s Dan Hamhuis, and Victoria’s Jamie Benn. The team will be led by Olympic hero Sidney Crosby, whose overtime goal at the 2010 Vancouver Games won Canada the gold medal in the final against the U.S. Crosby, the Pittsburgh Penguins’ superstar centre, ranks first in NHL scoring this season with 63 points.
Central Coast Regional District introduces 2014 budget Press Release The Central Coast Regional District board of directors met on December 11, 2013 to discuss the introduction of the budget for 2014 and beyond. Preliminary indications are that two services provided by the regional district to residents of electoral areas C, D, & E (the Bella Coola Valley) are projected to attract increased expenditures: the Thorsen Creek Waste and Recycling Centre and the Centennial Swimming Pool. The Pool Commission is looking to improve disability access, provide power to the original building, renovate the area between the original building and the newer structure, install a new sand filter unit and provide on-demand hot water to the shower/change rooms. Ongoing improvements include repairs to the floors and drains and the replacement of plywood walls to prevent water damage. Operational expenses are also anticipated to increase due to a longer operating season (labour, fuel, hydro and chemical supplies), but those additional expenses will be offset somewhat by increased revenue from user fees and pool rentals. The Thorsen Creek Waste and Recycling Centre will continue to be challenged financially in order
to fulfill regulatory obligations and to facilitate reconfiguration and expansion of the site. New recycling initiatives, designed to intercept municipal waste and extend the life of the landfill site, will also come at a cost. These costs are expected to be recouped in future years through savings associated with minimizing the landfill footprint, a reduction in covering costs, and lower daily operating costs. Expenses stemming from regulatory requirements for Freon removal from appliances, vehicle disposal, and the
transport of mixed metals out of the valley continue to escalate. Environmental legislation places an obligation on a landfill operator to undertake certain prescribed closure activities on portions of the landfill that become filled to capacity. Post-closure obligations then continue for a period of 25 years following closure of each area. Closure costs, while not specifically evaluated at this point, are significant and will require additional revenue to be set aside on an annual basis to provide the future financial resources
to fulfill these obligations. Directors reflected on tax levy targets in conjunction with goal setting for 2014. A need was expressed for an improved method of ensuring integration of the regional district’s asset management and strategic planning processes and the concept of levying a percentage tax to provide for future asset replacement was discussed. The next presentation of the financial plan will include a one percent levy for the express purpose of responsibly providing asset replacement for all applicable assets owned by the regional
Bella Coola Heli Sports & Sherpas Cinema present
district, including the airports, swimming pool, town site water system, waste and recycling centre, administration building, etc. To accommodate additional costs associated with inflation (2%), future asset replacement (1%) and general improvements to service delivery
noted above (3%), the board anticipates further discussing a tax increase of approximately six percent over 2013 levels to the regional district portion of property taxes at the board meeting in February 2014. The increase will be mitigated where possible by reducing costs in areas that
will not affect service delivery. The initial budget presentation is in line with the board’s four stated priorities: solid waste management, communications and engagement planning, Shearwater/Denny Island water system and strategic planning for implementation commencing in 2015.

Reader grateful for BC Hydro employees generous clean up Dear Editor, Each morning three of us walk the logging road between the wharf and Clayton Falls Bridge. It is a wonderful walk and reminds us of the greatness of our earth and the beauty at hand. We often pick up cans and garbage and trek it out with us and dispose of it appropriately. For some time now there was an inappropriate disposal of a hot water
tank. Shame on who ever ‘dumped’ it over the edge. Just last week we witnessed the BC Hydro truck stopped and the men got out and loaded up the tank and hauled it away! Kudo’s to BC Hydro and their employees! Thank you very much for caring for the environment and this beautiful valley! Sincerely, Cynthia Breadner (United Church Minister) and friends

Dear Editor, I have also written to Jennifer Rice, our MLA, about my concerns regarding BC Ferries Route 40 cancellation. But since the Premier cancelled the fall session, Jennifer has been unable to speak on the subject of the cancellation of our ferry service. Jennifer was a member of the Ferry Advisory Committee of BC Ferries, as was I for over 12 years. However, I resigned in frustration last spring because BC Ferries continued to take us in circles, with no positive results. BC Ferries is broken and the ferry subsidy that we receive from the federal government is not being used effec-

tively. Bella Coola is a remote community and we really need our tourism to keep the community alive. The government held a consultation process, which cost us (the taxpayers) $500,000, and they have cancelled our route as they said it loses $700,000 per year. The government had already made the decision to cancel the route before the consultation. My question is: how can they make a decision when the government is not in session? And what about the wasting of $500,000? I would appreciate anything that you can do in helping us with this battle to save our community.
There are so many petitions happening for all of the communities affected by these cuts, but the Central Coast is the only one losing their route. How can the government and BC Ferries think that replacing the Queen of Chilliwack (135 vehicles) with the Nimpkish (16 vehicles) will keep our tourism going? Our European guests book two years in advance. They have paid their money to come and visit some of the most spectacular scenery in the world. The government has not thought this decision through. Premier Clark wants to promote tourism; but this decision will decimate our tourism industry in Bella

54-40 returns to headline Bella Coola Music Festival this summer 54-40 is one of the most important popular music groups to emerge from the Canadian cultural landscape. Celebrating their thirty-year anniversary last year, a remarkable achievement in itself, the band has an unbelievable catalogue of hit songs, including “Baby Ran”, “I Go Blind” and “Ocean Pearl”. Lead by chief songwriter Neil Osborne, 54-40 has carved out a legacy of gold and platinum albums and an outstanding reputation for their live performances that carries through to this day. Each show is an extraordinary affair that bridges the gaps of generations through a shared love of music. In thirty years, the band has toured throughout the world
logging more than 2000 performances, released sixteen albums, received numerous awards and achieved almost a dozen Top-10 hit singles. When asked about their track record, drummer Matt Johnson once commented, “One thing we hear consistently is ‘I didn’t know you guys had so many hits,’ but we just consider ourselves songwriters. We enjoy the craft and whether we’re trying to write an eight-minute epic or just a three-minute pop song, it’s very enjoyable for us and we’re not afraid to do either.” It is with great pride that the Bella Coola Music Festival committee brings 54-40 back to our stage on Saturday, July 19, 2014. See you there.

Joint Review Panel approves Enbridge’s Northern Gateway project with 209 conditions By Caitlin Thompson After years of interviews, research, and deliberation the Joint Review Panel for the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline has approved the project, subject to 209 conditions. The news release stated that, ‘based on a scientific and precautionary approach to this complex review, the Panel found that the project, if built and operated in compliance with the conditions set out in its report, would be in the public interest.’ The Enbridge Northern Gateway Project is a $7.9 billion proposal to build and operate two pipelines and a marine terminal. The pipelines would run 1,178 kilometres from Bruderheim, Alberta to Kitimat, British Columbia, where the marine terminal would be built. The announcement was made on December 19, 2013, and has been received with mixed reactions across the province. Some of the most pressing conditions include including developing a marine mammal protection
plan, researching heavy oil cleanup and conducting emergency response exercises. “After weighing the evidence, we concluded that Canada and Canadians would be better off with the Enbridge Northern Gateway project,” said the panel in its roughly 500-page report. The final decision now rests with the federal government, which has 180 days to decide the fate of the project. While they haven’t indicated outright support or rejection, Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver’s office issued a statement after the approval, saying the project would not be approved by the government unless it is safe for Canadians and the environment. “The panel’s report represents a rigorous, open and comprehensive science-based assessment,” reads the statement. “Now that we have received the report, we will thoroughly review it ... and then make our decision. We also encourage everyone with an interest to take the time and review the report.” Environmental and First Nations groups
have long opposed the project, and say that this decision only reinforces their resolve to see that the project will never be built. More than 130 aboriginal bands have signed a declaration against the project. A press release issued by the Coastal First Nations states they are ‘disappointed, but not surprised’ by the Joint Review
Panel’s (JRP) recommendation to conditionally approve Enbridge’s Northern Gateway Project. “We aren’t surprised by the JRP’s recommendation,” said Coastal First Nations Executive Director Art Sterritt. “Their power and authority to make a decision on the Northern Gateway Pipeline was stripped by the Federal
Government early in the process, so their ability to make an independent decision was seriously compromised.” The Coastal First Nations claims that the Panel was limited in their review due to uncompleted scientific and technical assessments. “The JRP has acknowledged the limitations of its review, and until the techno-
logical and scientific work is completed, the Enbridge project cannot go ahead,” said Sterritt. “It’s not good enough for the Federal Government to say we have world class oil spill clean up technologies. The fact of the matter is that no effort has been made by oil companies to improve clean up technologies in the last 25 years.”
Premier Christy Clark has laid out five conditions for B.C. to support the pipeline. So far, those five conditions haven’t been met, most notably B.C.’s demand that legal requirements regarding aboriginal and treaty rights are met. Clark also stirred up national debate by demanding that B.C. receive a ‘fair share’ of the ‘fiscal and economic benefits.

Tribal Journeys set to arrive in Bella Bella this July Tribal Journeys, also referred to as Qatuwas, or ‘People Gathering Together,’ is planning to return to Bella Bella this year, 21 years after its first gathering was held in 1993. The Heiltsuk Nation will host the event, with 100 canoes, 1000 pullers and over 5000 visitors from as far south as Washington State and as far north as Alaska expected to attend. The Ocean going canoe was and is a social and cultural keystone amongst the Heiltsuk people. They were the traditional mode of travel that was used for harvesting resources from the land and sea, for commerce and trade as well as for social, cultural
and political purposes. During the last 150 years the canoe usage has been in decline. With the growing awareness of the increasing loss of their language and culture, there was a strong belief that the revival of the ocean going canoe would be an important vessel for healing, empowerment, selfdetermination, youth and community development. The Heiltsuk have played a key role in the resurgence of the ocean going canoe culture along the Pacific North West Coast as they carved a canoe and paddled from Bella Bella to Vancouver for Expo 86, in 1986 and in 1989 participated in the “Paddle to Seattle”,
and at this event invited other tribes to travel to Bella Bella and hosted the 1993 Qatuwas “people gathering together festival”. Today “Tribal Journeys” is woven into coastal First Nation’s culture. The majority of the tribal groups of the Pacific Northwest Coast (PNWC) participate in coastal canoe activities and the numbers continue to grow. For more than 20 years the Tribal Journeys have transformed the lives of thousands of aboriginal youth and adults. This has aided them to reconnect to their culture and has increased their self-esteem and strengthened their confidence as contemporary First Nation people.
Over 100 canoes are expected in Bella Bella this summer

FIREWOOD SALVAGE NOTICE Bella Coola Community Forest in conjunction with Nuxalk Forestry Limited Partnership is operating the dry land sort at Clayton Falls and working on logs from the community forests. In processing the logs to enhance value, trim is generated in various sized log chunks which are ideal for cutting up into fire wood. This excess wood is being made available for people to come and salvage. • Location: Clayton Falls Dry Land Sort: Follow Hwy 20 to harbor and continue west on to the North Bentinck Forest Service Road and follow it to Clayton Falls/BC Hydro park then continue over the Clayton Falls Creek bridge to the dry land sort area. Firewood is piled at the side of the road by the operations sign. The dry land sort is an active industrial site so do not enter the working area of the sort yard. Stay on the side of the road and please keep the road open at all times. Please apply the following etiquette: 1.

SAMS student’s art work featured on cover of provincial magazine Aristotle wrote, “The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.” This is something every artist understands whether beginner or master. Over the years, Sir Alexander Mackenzie School has seen many students talented in the fine arts (Cheyenne Anderson, Latham Mack and Jade Stranaghan to name a few) and Grade 11 student Ashley Moore carries on that tradition. A drawing Ashley drew will be grac-
ing the December cover of Admininfo, a magazine school principals across the province of B.C. receive monthly. Admininfo each month welcomes submissions from students from all over B.C. to provide the cover art for the magazine. Feeling that the students at SAMS produce artwork equal or surpassing what had been on the cover in recent months, principal Jeremy Baillie approached art teacher Ms. Ignas with the idea of submitting some of the recent artwork the
students had been producing. “It took some convincing of the students. We’re constantly convincing the students that in all areas (academic, artistic, physical competitions) that they can and do measure up to students from the larger centres,” said principal Jeremy Baillie. Several art work submissions were collected from students from all grades within the school and submitted to the magazine cover art designers and out of hundreds of submissions from across the
province, Ashley’s drawing was selected for the December cover. SAMS boasts an excellent art program under the guidance of Ms. Ignas with classes being offered at three levels – Grade 6/7, Grade 8/9 and Grade 10-12. In addition, there is also the long-standing Carving Program in which students study under Master Carver, James Mack. Students from both programs are regular contributors to many of the art displays both at the Art House and elsewhere in the community.

BC Coastal-Mainland Alliance formed to fight ferry cuts Press Release From Saturna to Haida Gwaii, and from Victoria to the Chilcotin, a group composed of First Nations Council representatives, elected officials, grassroots organizers and concerned business owners, stand united in fighting the proposed April 1 BC
Ferries cuts after a lengthy video-conference call, Thursday, January 9th. “We are an alliance of BC residents and businesses who are fighting for the 20% of British Columbians that rely on the ferries to connect them with their homes and their livelihoods,” said conference-call host
Kathy Ramsey from Gabriola Island. “Our communities generate 36% of the province’s revenue. The people of BC cannot afford NOT to listen to us.” “It’s in the interest of all British Columbians to recognize the ferry system as part of the overall provincial transportation network, and
provide services and investment equal to that enjoyed by the rest of the province,” said Powell River Mayor David Formosa. “BC’s ferry fleet must be operated for the public good and economic well-being.” “We want BC residents to understand that last year ferry users paid 92% of the operating costs at the toll booth,” said BC Ferry Coalition’s Jim Cleghorn, a retired commercial banker of 35 years. “Many of our volunteer Ferry Advisory Committees have said they are willing to work with BC Ferries and the Province to explore cost reductions.” “Smaller communities are going to sink further as a result of the cuts,” affirmed William Yovanovich of the Skidegate Band
Council. “They will affect everything from medical travel, mail service, fresh produce and on and on. This is really a crisis with no time to explore possible options. Immediate action is needed." “This is not just a coastal issue,” said Petrus Rykes, West Chilcotin Tourism Association. “Without adequate ferry service, Highway 20 is basically a dead-end The group calls on the Province to:immediately rescind the cuts that are already devastating many of their communities and economies, and guaranteed to sink tourism and business opportunities by summer 2014; engage in meaningful dialogue with the most directly affected stakehold-
ers in the BC Ferries service: the residents of ferry-dependent communities; insist that BC Ferries and the Province re-commit to a long-term sustainable plan for the ferry fleet, and re-affirm that BC Ferries is an essential transportation service; instruct the Ferry Commissioner to actively oversee BC Ferries as an entity managed for the public good in order to facilitate social and economic growth; and ensure that fiscal fairness is practiced for the benefit of all communities: BC Ferries needs to be just as reliable, affordable and accessible as other provincial transportation infrastructure. Failure to address these conditions will result in significant economic and

Kenneth Bruce Corbould July 19, 1947 - January 3, 2014 Kenneth Bruce Corbould, age 66, died in Kimberley, British Columbia on January 3rd, 2014. Ken was surrounded by family and friends during his last days and was with Teresa and Keith when he passed peacefully. Born July 19, 1947, in New Westminster, British Columbia, Ken travelled throughout the World and lived in Vancouver, Campbell River, and Northern Vancouver Island before settling back home in Bella Coola. He worked as a Forestry Engineer for Crown Zellerbach and returned to his true calling on the Atnarko River as Owner, Operator and Guide at Tweedsmuir Lodge. Ken, the son of Gordon and Greta Corbould, long time residents of the Bella Coola Valley, is survived by his brother Keith and the entire Corbould family. A gathering to remember Ken will be planned at the Bella Coola Legion for late February 2014, when the Corbould family are able to return him to his home on the Atnarko, where he will be laid to rest alongside his father, Gordon. The Corboulds would like to thank all of Ken’s dear friends in Bella Coola and the World who continue to extend sincere expressions of support, care and love for his life and for the feelings of his family. In lieu of flowers, expressions of condolence and remembrance may be made through a donation to Canadian Communities 4 Africa (CC4Africa) in Ken’s name; for the project to complete the home for street children in Central Burundi.

social losses that will affect all British Columbians. Participants affirmed that the 2003 Coastal Ferry Act, which promised communities economic growth, improved service and a sustainable ferry system, had invited people to come settle in their communities, based on those promises. “Families moved here, businesses were established, tourism was promoted on that basis,” Rob Hellenius, Gabriola’s conference moderator, concluded. “People are already listing their homes and choosing to relocate their businesses elsewhere. Broken promises threaten the very homes and communities we built. This is a death knell to a thriving community.”
