Bella Coola Community protests ferry cuts with rally at the wharf By eRneST Hall A boisterous crowd defied the near-freezing rain at the Government Wharf in Bella Coola March 15 for the noon hour rally coinciding with rallies up and down the coast protesting government cuts to BC Ferries services. The twin themes of the rally, sponsored by Bella Coola Valley Tourism (BCVT), called on the BC government to “Save the Discovery Coast Ferry” and “Give us back the Chilliwack”, a reference to the decision to pull the MV Queen of Chilliwack out of service as part of the cost-cutting measures announced last fall by the Ministry of Transportation. The change means that the MV Nimpkish, a 16-car vessel unable to make the direct sailing between Bella Coola and Port Hardy, is slated to replace the Chilliwack – which can carry 115 cars. The Chilliwack has sailed the route directly for 16 summers and can make the direct sailing in 11 hours. Opponents of the plan say it will repel tourists, rather than attract them. The plan will have the Nimpkish, which is the smallest vessel in the entire BC Ferries
fleet and which has no on-board amenities such as food services, sailing the often perilous Burke Channel after a transfer at Bella Bella, where there are few tourist facilities. The Transportation Ministry plans to refit the Nimpkish so that the nine-hour voyage between Bella Coola and Bella Bella will be more appealing. Rally placards included a demand to “Stop Todd Stonewalling” and an invitation to Christy to take the Nimpkish Cruise on the “New Todd Stonewalling Circle Tour”. Despite heavy protest, petitions and letter-writing campaigns since the cuts were announced in November, Transportation Minister Todd Stone and Premier Christy Clark have refused to budge on their decision to uphold the recommendations of BC Ferries. A rally organizer representing BCVT noted that an umbrella company that sends $1 billion worth of tourism business to Canada annually has recently informed Stone that the firm is boycotting not just the Discovery Coast but all of British Columbia. Local troubadour Doug Baker, the BCVT Vice-President, after 17
years promoting tourism development in the region, performed his specially penned “Give Us Back the Chilliwack”, asking if the cut of the Chilliwack was because the North Coast riding is NDP or because “you want us to join the LNG”. His song described the Nimpkish, with its open car deck so low that sea water overflows the deck in heavy seas, as a “toy in a fjord”. After refitting at considerable cost in recent years, the Chilliwack had been slated to operate for at least three more years. The government claims this ferry service has been under used (30 – 40 percent full) and losing too much money, but figures show that direct daylight sailings of the Chilliwack between Bella Coola and Port Hardy were 71 percent full. Tourism promoters have been asking for a rescheduling that would make the route more viable for the 2014 season at least. In a poignant performance, Nuxalk drummers Chris and Lance Nelson led a group singing a paddling song, saying the entire Bella Coola community is “on this journey together”, striving toward “the same destination”. Hereditary Chief Noel Pootlass

North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice 'not giving up' FROM PAGE 1 Dunsworth and others panned the “business model” that sees coastal ferries as a business that can lose money or make a profit while the costs of inland ferries, operated by the same ministry, are seen as investments in the provincial economy, like the costs of schools, hospitals, and highways. Brian Lande, representing the Central Coast Regional District, spoke of mismanagement in BC Ferries, who claim that the BC Ferries system is highly complex, but he wonders if they looked at the system in Norway, which serves commu-
nities from the same latitude as northern BC to well north of the Arctic Circle. North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice (NDP) pointed to a recent Prince Rupert study entitled “Beyond Hope”, a reference to a perceived neglect in Victoria of British Columbia’s hinterland. She urged the crowd to move up close to her so she could look them “directly in the eye” – an obvious reference to Transportation Minister Todd Stone. In standing by his guns on his decision to pull the Queen of Chilliwack out of service, Stone has repeatedly said this was a
“tough decision” and he will look “directly in the eyes” of those who object. Stone has yet to satisfy charges that the public was not sufficiently consulted during the BC Ferries “community engagement” process that accompanied the decision to cut ferry services. Rice noted that the cuts were made without a socio-economic impact study because the government operates the ferry service on a business model. Rice urged the Bella Coola community and all British Columbians to visit the YouTube video of talk show host Christy Clark eight years ago recommending a gov-

As a long-time member of the provincial Sport Fish Advisory Committee, Ken provided valuable first-hand knowledge to guide the setting of catch quotas and other valuable resource regulations that gave the provincial fisheries agency much needed knowledge of the actual conditions in the Atnarko, Talchako and Bella Coola River systems. And not least, as a founding director of the Bella
Coola Watershed Conservation Society, Ken was instrumental in the successful lobby to designate the Atnarko River as a motor-restricted waterway, forever preserving it from the negative impacts of jet boats and other power-craft that he saw as endangering the safety and habitat of the those who used the river as a food source and recreational area… and that includes the bears. Ken volunteered countless hours to set up the society’s

Sorry Ken, but I would have done it regardless. Respectfully, Stephen Waugh Hagensborg

The great big Fiddle Workshop brings smiles all round By Janice Kyle If you happened to walk by the Moose Hall last weekend you would have been amazed at the great sounds of fiddles, guitars and pianos wafting from the doors and windows! The ‘Fiddle Fun’ program offered by the Bella Coola Valley Learning Society has added real depth to the after school fiddle classes for children and adults. Music began at Bella Coola Elementary and Acwsalcta School performed by two of Canada’s most engaging fiddlers and teachers, Gordon
Stobbe and JJ Guy. The laughter from the children was heartwarming as they learned music, helped JJ learn “Dum dee diddly diidly do” and a visit by the Maestro. (Ask any child for clarification.) They also played to them as they skipped back to their classrooms. ‘New Horizon’s for Seniors’ funding provided for an afternoon concert of such requested tunes as “the Kentucky Waltz”, “Crooked Stovepipe” and “Orange Blossom Special”. We are sorry for those who were sick and could not attend. Over the rest of
the weekend, thanks to the Williams Lake and District Credit Union, Gordon and JJ taught fiddlers from ages five to over 60 throughout the weekend. At the potluck/ square dance they entertained us in the Old Time/ East Coast tradition of Canadian music. There were many smiling happy faces doing the Virginia Reel, Sasha, squares, foxtrots and waltzs. An amazing night of fun! Without a doubt, they have inspired us with their enthusiasm, friendliness, patience and talent. Gordon and JJ have now created the connection of fiddling
through the Cariboo region and finally, the Bella Coola Valley is a part of it. Thank you to everyone who made this event a huge success. The fiddlers will share their new tunes at the Music Night at Augsburg Church Friday, March 21, 7pm along with Lois Casperson. They have learned a great deal in the short time they have played. The next musical event will be a program, ‘Artstarts Artist-in-Residence at BC,’ happening April 7 – 11. There will be fiddles, guitars and pianos lessons at the school among other project-based oppor-
tunities for students. Calvin Cairns and Roxanna Sabir will teach at the school, lead several adult lessons in the evening and perform a concert at the Moose Hall, Wednesday, April 9, 7pm. They, too, have taught all over British Columbia and the North, performing, teaching ay fiddle camps and creating CDs. New classes begin after the Spring Break for beginners from ages five and up. Feel free to call the New Leaf Learning Centre for more information about getting involved! 250 7995822

CCRD March Board Meeting highlights Michael Higgins, Regional Manager and Teron Moore, a Seismic Specialist with Emergency Management BC joined the meeting and presented a short video and slide presentation focusing on tsunami preparedness and notification. It was noted this is timely in that it is nearing the 50th anniversary of the Great Alaskan earthquake and tsunami and three years and one day since the devastating Japanese tsunami three years ago. EMBC wants to work with local governments to support their emergency planning for tsunami preparedness. Jan Prins, spokesperson for the Central Coast Electoral Area Restructure Study (CCEARS) group, addressed the board and requested CCRD hold an Open House to make the public more aware of the status of the Restructure Study as it cannot go forward without public consultation. The CAO spoke to item (C) (f) on the agenda, “Restructure StudyLiaison Committee Recommendations”, which is a report to the board for their consideration outlining the outcomes of the two meetings
with the CCEARS group. The report also includes, by way of an example, a copy of the North Island Regional Protocol Agreement. The CAO went on to comment that, regarding meeting with the community and Open Houses, staff will be starting the Strategic Planning process in April and going out to the community is key. There are plans to engage the community numerous times between April and November when the plan will be adopted. She gave an overview of the foreseeable conversations that need to happen and stressed that the plan is integrated and includes all peoples. Although it will be a huge process, the quality of the document is going to be dependent on the input received from the community. The CCRD was successful in its application to Northern Development Initiative Trust to host a local government management intern for one year. The intern position will be funded by a generous $35,000 grant from NDIT. The intern, who will be mentored by CAO Darla Blake, will be involved in learning and experienc-
ing all aspects of a local government career. The intern will undertake Economic Development training during the month of May, then start at the CCRD from 1 June 2014. The CCRD approved an application to be made for grant funding from the BC Healthy Communities Capacity Building Plan H to the value of $20,000 to achieve the Valley Volunteer and Health Initiative outcomes. The CCRD will send a letter to Networks BC requesting reliable cell and internet services to remote outer coast communities, following years of unreliable cell, internet and telephone service to outer coast communities. The 2013 Pre-Audit Financial Report - Draft, pre-audit financial statements for the period January 1 – December 31, 2013 were presented with commentary for variations between budgeted and actual figures for the information of the board. The audited financial statements will be presented at the April meeting of the board. A Solid Waste Management Funding Briefing Paper was presented outlining
options for achieving a balanced budget for the Thorsen Creek Waste and Recycling Center. The Five-Year Financial Plan (20142018) has been modified since the February presentation, most notably by reducing the requisition for the functions of Economic Development and Emergency Management in favor of the necessary increase to the Thorsen Creek Waste and Recycling Center (TCWRC). The distribution of the levy between electoral areas is noticeably changed since both Economic Development and Emergency Management derive tax revenue from all five electoral areas, and the TCWRC is paid for only by the ratepayers in Electoral Areas C, D and E. Although the tax levy has been redistributed, the overall increase is still projected to be 6.2 percent as directed by the board at the December 2013 board meeting. The regional district auditors have now completed their fieldwork and will be providing confirmation of 2013 surpluses which will be factored into the financial plan. For this reason, the
Board resolved to hold a Special Meeting on March 24, 2014 for the purpose of adopting the Five-Year Financial Plan 2014-2018. The Public Works Department report highlights developments and issues surrounding the Thorsen Creek Waste and Recycling Center (TCWRC), recreation facilities, the Bella Coola Airport, town site water and street lighting. Public Works Manager, Ken McIlwain, spoke to activities at the Thorsen Creek Waste and Recycling Center regarding the finan-
cial challenges and options going forward. The Board was advised the Vertical Baler for recycling has arrived and this will be set up over the next two months in anticipation of the MMBC program start-up; design work has started on upgrades to the Recycling Center at Thorsen Creek Waste and Recycling Center. The new Ministry of Environment Landfill Criteria will have a significant impact on small regional landfills like that of CCRD. The Public Works Manager has joined a working group of other regional districts and
municipalities concerned with the new criteria, and to look for workable options. New seats were installed on the swing set at Walker Island Park. Thanks to the Snootli Creek Hatchery who generously donated and installed an aluminum grate over the west window of the warming hut at the skating rink. The CCRD also thanks Caroline Granander for all her work on a volunteer basis. Many other volunteers’ hard work contributed to making it a successful month for skating.

Bella Coola RCMP Report March 2014
IMPORTANT PUBLIC NOTICE THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the
Hagensborg Waterworks District WHEN: THURSDAY, April 24th, at 7:30 p.m. AT: Hagensborg Fire Hall Topics for discussion will include: * Reports on the work of the district in the last year and draft budget projections for water delivery and fire protection and truck replacement. * Discussion of direction for the next year including purification system implementation, initial draft maintenance cost analysis and pipe replacement. *Implementation of a well to improve water quality during high water events and reduce maintenance costs and our ongoing work with DFO
There are some very big issues coming up on this new information from the province on risk so:
All water users are encouraged to attend this meeting
as it will set the context for community discussion this coming year where further community meeting will be undertaken for direction to the Water Board.
The driver of a vehicle left running in 4 Mile reported that while away briefly, two thieves entered the car and stole a quantity of cash from within. Vehicle operators are reminded to secure their vehicles at all times they are not with them and not to leave valuables in sight within. On Tuesday March 11, 2014 Police located some tools on the shoulder of Highway 20, just east of the
town site of Bella Coola. If you are the owner of these tools, please attend the Bella Coola RCMP Detachment and provide a description of these tools to claim. An alert valley resident advised the detachment that he had been receiving tele-marketing calls that were displaying local (prefix 982) phone numbers on his call display. This process is called “spoofing,” the caller can display any number they choose to the receiving phone number and is not illegal. Our complainant
observed that the number displayed was higher than the local directory numbers are assigned. The highest 982 area number is just under 982-3300. If you receive a call from a number that is from 250-9823300 or higher you should be aware that this is not a local caller. Telus Security advises that these calls frequently originate from autodiallers that continuously call numbers until the call is picked up. If you are receiving nuisance calls such as this you can
block the last call received by hanging up, then picking up the phone and entering * 60. This service is provided free of charge by Telus for up to 10 numbers. If you have information regarding these incidents or any other criminal activity, please call Crime Stoppers at 1 800 222-8477 or the Bella Coola RCMP at 250 799-5363. Crime stoppers also subscribes to web tips at www. bccrimestoppers. com . Callers remain anonymous and tips can lead to cash rewards.

The BC Government is now off-loading our recycling decisions to Toronto.
Under its new regulations, the BC Government has set up an association led by big corporations to take over the local Blue Box recycling program throughout BC. If you look closely, you’ll see that of seven board members, six are executives of Toronto-based multi-national corporations, with the seventh weighing in from Montreal. How do you like that, British Columbia? This means, unlike the current program run locally by BC municipalities, this new program will be managed not by people whose first responsibility is our local environment, but rather, their Bay St. profits. That can’t be a good thing for BC. The most perplexing thing is that we currently have a Blue Box program that works, is efficient, and costs BC homeowners just
$35 a year on average. The new proposed system does not guarantee to keep our local environment as its first priority, nor does it guarantee that there won’t be job losses here in BC. It doesn’t guarantee service levels, or say anything about how big business will pass along the costs to you when you go to pick up a pizza or buy groceries. Yikes! Perhaps this is why several of BC’s municipalities refuse to sign onto the new program, calling it a “scam.” Given that, maybe it’s time you called Premier Clark to keep BC’s environmental decisions right here in BC where they belong.
What’s going on here?

CCRD hosts Tsunami 101 Forum PReSS ReleaSe On 12 March 2014, Central Coast Regional District (CCRD) hosted an Emergency Management BC (EMBC) public education forum on emergency preparedness in the Central Coast region. The forum took place in the Bella Coola Valley Inn meeting room, and with standing room only, attendees listened to a presentation by EMBC
seismic specialist, Teron Moore, on the hazards posed by a tsunami, notification and how to prepare for a tsunami. The Central Coast Regional District would like to thank all those who came out during the supper hour forum and for their participation in the discussion following the presentation. Even more pleasing is the level of interest which has been expressed from community members offering to sign up as
volunteers to assist in the event of an emergency. The CCRD hopes to bring the Emergency Management BC trainers back to the region for similar forums at Bella Bella and Denny Island. For more information on how you can personally prepare yourself and your family to be Tsunami Smart, visit: www. emergencyinfobc. gov.bc.ca/campaigns/be-tsunamismart.html
Rainy cold weather forced a change in the 5 km Walk/Run route. an avalanche warning for the road to the wharf sparked the route to go around the Bella coola town site. From l to R: Kyle Mack, Bert Snow, Terry Mack, Dana Drugan, Angel Leys, Cyril Wolgien, Monica Wolgien, Maureen Leys. all completed the distance despite the wet weather. This event marked the halfway point in training to prepare for the 10km on Saturday, april 26.

learners for many aspects of life including reading, writing and computer skills like Word, Excel and Database. Microsoft and its Lync program have funded Frontier College to develop a means to reach adult learners throughout
Canada. Your tutor may live in Toronto or Thunder Bay! There is space for five learners to test the waters for eight weeks. This could be just what we need in Bella Coola as a rural remote community to have access to expert
volunteers in these areas. Computers are available at the New Leaf Learning Centre or learners may learn from their own home computer. The project will start mid-April. Please call Janice to find out more 250 799-5822.
