Residents urged to recycle with onset of new program at Thorsen Creek BY KEN MCILWAIN CCRD PUBLIC WORKS MANAGER Over the next few weeks, Valley residents will notice some changes taking place at the Thorsen Creek Waste and Recycling Centre. These changes are centered on the launch of the Multi-Material BC (MMBC) recycling program. Starting May 19, 2014, businesses that supply packaging and printed paper to BC residents will be responsible for collecting and managing these materials so they can be recycled. The Central Coast Regional District has entered into a contract with MMBC to collect residential recyclable packaging and printed paper on their
behalf. In return for financial incentives, the CCRD will provide a staffed depot for collection, sorting and storage of materials. Traditionally municipalities or regional districts have paid for the bulk of recycling across the province. The cost of transporting and marketing recyclables was always an impediment to recycling efforts in Bella Coola. By signing up with MMBC, the Regional District can now afford to offer Valley residents a comprehensive recycling program. It is important to note that we will only be able to accept residential packaging and printed paper. At this point in time, we cannot accept
recyclables from institutional, commercial or industrial locations. Efforts will be made to find a way to integrate paper and cardboard from local schools, businesses and government institutions. Landfill space is at a premium. Across the province it is becoming increasingly expensive to landfill materials and to get approvals for landfill expansion. Every cubic meter of remaining space in our landfill can be assigned a monetary value. The value of air space in our landfill is equal to the cost we would pay to transport our waste to a regional landfill halfway across the province, plus the cost these landfills would charge to accept that waste. If you think
this is fictional, you only have to look as far as Bella Bella, where they are forced to barge waste to Vancouver, where it is then hauled by railway to Washington State for disposal. The message that Valley residents need to understand and buy into is the critical importance of waste diversion from our landfill. Recycling is not just about reducing our environmental footprint. Recycling is going to dramatically increase the lifespan of our landfill and save tax dollars. Please take advantage of the recycling opportunities we do have locally. The Bella Coola Recycling Depot at the entrance to Walker Island accepts a wide variety of items
ranging from light fixtures to car batteries. The Thorsen Creek Recycling Depot will now accept almost any kind of packaging from products you buy at local grocery and hardware stores. Shake out all those empty bags of potting soil, collect those old catalogues and junk mail, rinse out your yogurt tubs and pickle jars and bring them all to our depot. We are open Wednesdays and Saturdays 8:30-5:30. Feel free to email the CCRD Public Works Manager at pwm@ccrd-bc.ca for further information on this initiative. Check out the CCRD website www.ccrd-bc.ca for a detailed list of recyclables accepted under this program.

Caribbean Calypso and Latin Jazz heat up 2014 Bella Coola Music Fest BY SUSAN O’NEILL Founded by Trinidadian/Canadian songwriter, Drew Gonsalves, Kobo Town is named after the historic neighborhood in Port-of-Spain where calypso was born. The sudden move to the cold city of Ottawa when he was 13, Drew found that he didn’t fit in. “My curiosity about Trinidad led me to read a lot about the Caribbean and its history, the kind of legacy it bestowed upon us.” Gonsalves remembers his first visit to Trinidad at eighteen. “I was blown away by the cleverness and the wit of these calypsonians, and also their engaging interplay with the audience. I had never experienced anything like it and, from that point on, calypso was always on my mind.” Kobo Town's debut album in 2007, Independence, was nominated for an Indie award, a Canadian Folk Music Award, and
an International Folk Alliance award, receiving very positive reviews from the international music press as well. “I’m not sure I should call it calypso,” he says. “It is calypso inspired and derived, but it’s a conscious departure from the way it developed back home. Calypso is the folk music of urban Trinidad, but it has always drawn on outside influences. For me, the calypsonian is a singing newspaperman commenting on the events of the day, with an attitude halfway between court jester and griot [oral historian].” Kobo Town’s second offering, Jumbie in the Jukebox, was recorded in Belize, Montreal, Toronto and Trinidad. “I wanted this album to be a contemporary expression that said something about Caribbean music, our heritage, and the potential for a new voice that resonates with people today,” Gonsalves declares. “This album is a small, heartfelt tribute to the spirits –
both remembered and forgotten – who have gone before us, whose songs and sounds have never lost their power to enchant.” Gabriel Palatchi was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He started piano lessons at the age of eight, and went on to study classical music, and musical production. He expanded his studies with a degree in music from the Berklee International School. During this time he studied under many great maestros of Blues, Tango, Jazz and Latin Jazz. After graduating in 2008, he packed up his piano and journeyed to Cuba and Mexico to expand his studies and musical experiences. Gabriel’s first solo CD, “Diario de Viaje” (Travel Diary), was released in 2010. With deep roots in AfroCuban and Latin jazz, he fused together an original sound and style of music that includes Tango, Arabian, Salsa, Funk, and Electronic. The album was chosen as one of the best Latin
Jazz albums of the year by JAZZ FM 91.1 in Toronto The Gabriel Palatchi Band has since toured throughout various parts of Argentina, Mexico and Canada, performing at many
international music festivals. These include the Vancouver International Jazz Festival, Victoria International Jazz Festival, Quebec International Jazz Festival, Waterloo International Jazz
Festival, Victoria Tango Festival, Kaslo Jazz Festival, Starbelly Jam Music Festival, and the Puerto Morelos Music Festival, among others. The band created a buzz everywhere it played. Their second CD,
‘Caja Musical’, was released in May 2013. Recorded in Buenos Aires with great Argentinian guest musicians, it does not disappoint the fans he has garnered all over the world.
Hailing from Argentina, Palatchi has performed at festivals around the globe

Safety on the Roads - Bike to Work Week is May 26 - June 1 By Liz Howard I’ve been commuting to work on my bike for 20 years. I have braved the city roads in Vancouver and now enjoy the less traveled route on Hwy 20. There are a handful or more of us who bike to and fro regularly and I would like to encourage more people to ride to work. Biking in this beautiful valley is fairly easy. The ups and downs are small and few. There are only a few really windy days that make it challenging…at least one way. It’s great to get a tailwind on the ride home. Biking to work takes some planning. You may need to pack an extra set of clothes if you work up a sweat. You will have
to leave a bit earlier. And you may want to consider driving your bike to a launching off point if you feel you live a bit too far away. When sharing the road, knowing where to ride and where to drive is extremely important. Cyclists have all the rights and responsibilities as the other drivers on the road. A helmet is a necessity, as is riding with the traffic. Riding facing traffic is illegal and can increase the risk of collision. Being visible and being predictable are paramount. A cyclist is required to ride as close to the edge of the road as ‘practicable.’ Practicable means to be able to be done or put into practice successfully; it doesn’t mean hugging the edge of the road or
riding in the gravel. Riding on the gravel shoulder isn’t an option for those of us who don’t have mountain bike tires. There are laws in Ontario that state when going over 50 km/hr, motorists must leave 5 feet of clearance between their vehicle and a cyclist. This means that almost vehicles will have to cross the yellow line to pass safely. While most drivers here do just that, I have seen many drivers cross the yellow line even when there is a vehicle coming in the other direction, making the other car or truck take evasive action and drive on the shoulder. On the other hand, there are drivers that don’t move over at all when passing. This is a dangerous prac-
tice that can lead to injury or death. The edge of the road can be strewn with gravel and debris, be potholed or poorly cracksealed. Sometimes dogs appear out of nowhere at high speed. A cyclist needs some room for maneuvering around and past these hazards. The key is to pass safely. If there isn’t a car in the other lane, pull over and pass. If you know you will end up forcing the oncoming vehicle off the road then slow down and pass the cyclist when it is safe. Cyclists and drivers can share the road without accidents when we all know where we are suppose to be. I hope to see more people on two wheels for Bike to Work Week, and beyond.
Nuxalk Radio accepting proposals for radio shows Ever dream of your own radio show? That reality could be yours, as Nuxalk Radio is now accepting proposals for radio show series. Officially launching on summer solstice, June 21, Nuxalk Radio 91.1 FM (Bella Coola, www.nuxalkradio.com) is a non-commercial, educational, community radio station, operated by community volunteers, administered by Nuxalk Acwsalcmalslayc Academy of Learning Society (NAALS) and managed by the Nuxalk Radio Committee.

That said, all shows do not have to be broadcast in Nuxalk. But, it is important that shows make a positive contribution to the community and utilize this new communications tool in the best way possible. The following topics
are being suggested: Nuxalk language-learning, Indigenous Rights/ Nuxalk Nationhood/ Decolonization, Traditional economy/ Land stewardship/ Living from the land, Environmental awareness/Green living/ Ecological stewardship, Traditional Foods/ Local foods/Food Security, Physical, mental, spiritual and emotional wellness, Traditional medicine/Self-healing/
Naturopathy, Comedy, Potlatch news, Nuxalk practices: Rites of passage, ceremony, ancestral customs etc., Nuxalk ancestry, Indigenous music, local original music, Nuxalk contemporary music, Norwegian local history and language, Nuxalk academics: local archaeology, Nuxalk history, ancestral science, etc., Bella Coola news, global/ local indigenous news, Sports/recreation/exer-
cise/ physical activity, Audio book club (with focus on above topics). If you are interested in submitting a proposal, go to www.nuxalkradio.com and check out the guidelines and sample proposals. Radio training is proposed for the first week of June, but proposals are being accepted on an on-going basis. Send your pitch to program@nuxalkradio. com.

Biking to work is an enjoyable and healthy way to commute PUBLIC NOTICE REGARDING THE FSC FOREST MANAGEMENT RE-CERTIFICATION AUDIT OF COAST FOREST CONSERVATION INITIATIVE KPMG Forest Certification Services Inc. (KPMG FCSI) will be conducting a re-certification audit of Coast Forest Conservation Initiative Society (CFCI) member’s operations within the Mid-Coast Forest Management Unit (FMU) against the requirements of the Forest Stewardship Council® (“FSC®”) Principles and Criteria for Forest Stewardship. The field portion of the audit will take place during the week of July 14-18, 2014. The CFCI is a collaborative effort of 5 British Columbia (BC) forest organizations including BC Timber Sales, Catalyst Paper Corporation, Howe Sound Pulp and Paper Ltd., International Forest Products Ltd. and Western Forest Products Inc. CFCI holds a group forest management certificate (KF-FM/COC-001047) covering the Mid-Coast FMU that is valid until December 9, 2014. The Mid-Coast FMU covers approximately 758,000 hectares within defined areas of land located within the Mid-Coast Timber Supply Area on the central coast of BC, Canada. It is located on the BC mainland coast, northeast of Northern Vancouver Island and stretches from Cape Caution in the south to the head of Finlayson Channel and Mussel Inlet in the north. It is bounded on the west by Hecate Strait and offshore islands and on the east by the peaks of the Coast Mountain Range. The audit will be based on audit protocols developed by KPMG FCSI which address the requirements of the FSC Regional Certification Standards for BC (2005), the FSC Standard for Group Entities in Forest Management Groups and the Requirements for the use of the FSC Trademarks by Certificate Holders. Copies of these standards are available on the FSC Canada website at https://ca.fsc.org/. This notice serves as an invitation to persons who wish to provide comments on forest management within the Mid-Coast FMU, including the environmental, social and economic performance of CFCI members and the manner in which stakeholders’ views have been incorporated into CFCI’s management planning processes. Your comments will be considered by KPMG FSCI in determining whether CFCI’s forest management complies with the requirements of the above FSC standards. A summary of stakeholder comments will also be included in the CFCI FSC certification report. However, the identity of the individual or organization providing comments will be kept confidential unless the commenting party specifically indicates to the contrary. As required by FSC, KPMG FCSI also draws notice to the existence of its dispute resolution procedures that are available to all stakeholders providing comments. A written description of the dispute resolution process can be made available upon request.

Funds announced for Clayton River Watershed Wildlife Project BC Hydro Press Release A project to study bats and Northern Goshawks in the Clayton River watershed will benefit from more than $36,000 in funding from the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program (FWCP). The project will identify bat species in the watershed and determine which species, if any, would benefit from conservation efforts. It will also confirm if Northern Goshawks are nesting in this watershed south west of Bella Coola. “Several highpriority wildlife species likely occur in the Clayton Falls watershed, where human activity and industrial development has occurred. Very little is known about several species within the watershed including bats and Northern Goshawks so it is difficult to develop effective conserva-
tion plans,” said Dave Mosure, BC Hydro Community Relations. “The goal of this project is to determine which bat species are present, identify any species that may benefit from management, identify landscape features that warrant further investigation, and determine if Northern Goshawks are nesting in the watershed. This work will help identify priority sites for conservation actions for the future.” The Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program funds conservation and enhancement projects in the Coastal, Columbia River and Peace River regions. The Coastal Region includes Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland and the Southern Interior. In 2014, the FWCP will provide more than $7 million towards more than 80 fish and wildlife projects provincewide in its Coastal,
Columbia and Peace regions. FWCP funds are provided by BC Hydro and managed in a partnership with the Province of British Columbia, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, First Nations and the public to conserve and enhance fish and wildlife impacted by the creation of BC Hydro dams. Funding applications are received each fall and reviewed annually in the Coastal Region by technical committees and FWCP Coastal Board members. Projects are chosen based on technical merit, linkages to watershed-specific priorities, cost-effectiveness, level of partnership, and overall benefit to the FWCP’s mandate and vision. “We are pleased with the strong interest in the FWCP and the quality of project proposals that support the FWCP vision of thriving popula-

New PFD loaner program at the Wharf - Be Water Wise! By Janice Kyle Up and down the entire coast of BC you will see PFD/lifejacket hooks at the top of ramps. The Bella Coola Harbour Authority and the Centennial Pool Commission have worked together to bring this program to Bella Coola to make boating safer. The Department of Fisheries has also given permission to use their bulletin board. Thanks to
everyone. First, let’s clarify what the difference is between a PFD (personal floatation device) and a lifejacket. A lifejacket has been thoroughly and expensively tested to ensure it will turn its unconscious wearer face side up seven out of 10 times. Often these are bulkier and more expensive due to the coast of the testing. PFDs are more comfortable and people are more
likely to wear them - definitely a good thing. The hooks you see at the Boat Launch and at the wharfhead are to donate your unused PFDs. These will also hold new PFDs donated through a program launched by the Centennial Pool. Last year’s pool manager, Janice Newkirk, procured funding through the Canadian Red Cross and the Royal Lifesaving Society
to make families more water-wise. The program is called “Open water Wisdom”. The donated PFDs are available for loan from the Centennial Pool for families heading up to Fisheries Pool or sailing off down North Bentick. You may call the Centennial Pool for more information 250 982-2488. If you and your family are around the water this year, please wear PFDs!

No cost too great for ferry routes serving Premier, Liberals Press Release While government insists that it does not want to incur the cost of replacing the Queen of Chilliwack on the Discovery Coast route, they have no problem incurring much greater costs on other routes. BC Ferries recently announced the construction of three new ferries. One is going to Route 17 (Comox – Powell River). Route 9, the TsawwassenSouthern Gulf Islands route, will be receiving not one but two new ferries, at a cost of close to $200 million. BC Ferries said
that a single new ferry “would not meet demand”, and that a second new ferry was needed to avoid forcing Southern Gulf Islands passengers to connect through Victoria when the first ferry is undergoing maintenance. According to BC Ferries, this would constitute “a significant degradation in service” and would breach the Coastal Ferry Services Contract it has with the Province. Contrast this with the situation on the Discovery Coast, where the direct service between Bella
Coola and Port Hardy has been cancelled entirely. Now passengers wishing to travel the Discovery Coast Circle Tour must transfer at Bella Bella and endure a 10-hour trip on an open deck car barge with almost no amenities. Not only that, but the new Nimpkish service can only carry one-third of the volume that has typically travelled this route in the past. This “service adjustment” on the Discovery Coast does not come close to meeting demand, and has to be considered a significant degradation in service. So why
is the government treating the Discovery Coast differently? The Bella Coola – Port Hardy service was better utilized than the other routes. Route 17 operated at 29.6% capacity in 2013, while Route 9 was 42.2%. The Discovery Coast direct sailing was superior to both at 48.3%. It was also the most profitable. Over the past 10 years Route 17 has suffered an average loss of $7.8 million per year, and Route 9's loss was even greater at $9.7 million. The Discovery Coast route lost only $3.2 million
on average, with 90% of that loss relates to servicing the small mid-coast communities, a service BC Ferries is retaining so they won't lose their $28 million annual Federal subsidy. “The Bella Coola – Port Hardy service has been better utilized and more profitable, but other routes get new ferries while we have our capacity slashed,” said Petrus Rykes, Chair of Save The Discovery Coast Ferry. “Instead of working with us to build the route, the Liberal government is degrading the service and wilfully causing
serious damage to businesses throughout the region. How can they get away with that?” There seems to be no economic justification for cutting Route 40. The Discovery Coast direct sailing from Bella Coola to Port Hardy had superior performance, but it gets cancelled, while the Southern Gulf Islands and Comox-Powell River routes get $300 million worth of new ferries. In an interesting coincidence, Premier Christy Clark happens to own property on Galiano Island, and the Comox-Powell
River route connects the only two Liberal ridings on Vancouver Island to the mainland, including one held by a Liberal cabinet minister. “Minister Todd Stone continues to claim this is a financial decision,” said Leonard Ellis, ViceChair. “Yet government ignores the economic chaos they're causing in opposition ridings, while buying new ferries for routes that serve areas with government ties. If all the coastal ridings were Liberal, would they be paying more attention to the damage they're doing?”
Liaison committee formed to address local electoral reform By Ken Dunsworth The Central Coast Electoral Area Restructuring Study (CCEARS) working group was formed during a public meeting in January 31, 2014, and on February 13th the CCEARS working group respectfully submitted a petition for CCRD’s review and consideration regarding initiating and facilitating a study for restructuring of the existing regional district. The Central Coast Regional District (CCRD) received the petition and, after meeting with the CEARS working group, formed a Liaison Committee. The committee will now look at the feasibility of restructuring. The committee consists of the CAO (Darla Blake), the CFO (Donna Mikkelson), two CCEARS committee members (as elected by the working group Jan Prins and Ken Dunsworth), CCRD Board member Ivan Tallio, and a rep-
resentative of the Nuxalk Nation. The first meeting CCRD Liaison
Committee/CCEARS working group identified pressing issues. A second meeting was
then held to discuss and develop action items, methodologies see turn on page 8

Coastal First Nations offer grizzly watching tour in exchange for LEH grizzly tag CFN Press Release Professional bear guides from British Columbia’s Coastal First Nations are inviting a pair of lucky hunters to come shoot bears in the Great Bear Rainforest – using cameras instead of guns. Spirit Bear Lodge, a First Nationsowned and operated facility, is offering an all-expenses-paid bear viewing experience in exchange for a Limited Entry Hunt authorization for grizzly bear within Coastal First Nations territories. The winner will be selected in a random draw, with additional prizes for runners-up. The grand prize includes round-trip airfare for two, five nights’ deluxe island accommodation, and daily adventures deep into grizzly country with experienced professional guides. Guests will learn more about First Nations culture, wildlife science – and the vibrant new economy emerging on the coast. “It’s a fact that
bears are worth more alive than they are dead,” said Kitasoo/ Xai’xais Stewardship Director and Spirit Bear Lodge guide Douglas Neasloss. You don’t have to harvest a resource to get value from a resource. Bears bring huge value to coastal ecosystems, and to my community in terms of a sustainable economy.” Spirit Bear Lodge employs 40 people in the remote community of Klemtu. Overall, bear viewing in the Great Bear Rainforest pumps 12 times more money into the province’s economy than bear hunting. In fact, Stanford University researchers concluded the coastal bear hunt actually loses taxpayers money. Coastal First Nations is an alliance of First Nations on British Columbia’s North and Central Coast and Haida Gwaii. In 2012, CFN member nations issued a formal ban on trophy hunting for bears within their territories. The Province of British Columbia

The Coastal First Nations unique offer is garnering provincial attention continues to issue kill authorizations in defiance of tribal law – and majority opposition by hunters. “Like most hunters in B.C., I hunt to feed my family,” said
Heiltsuk Coastwatch Director William Housty. “Whether you’re First Nations or not, it’s against our common values to kill animals for fun.
If anyone’s still not convinced, I encourage them to leave their guns and come see these beautiful coastal grizzlies from our perspective.”
The prize offer applies to LEH hunt numbers 3005, 3006, 3007, 3008, 3128, 3129, 3130, or 3131, covering regions 5-08 and 5-09. Anyone holding a
valid authorization is encouraged to contact Spirit Bear Lodge. This year’s LEH deadline is May 23. The trip would take place in September.

and tactics, and to move matters forward and conclude efforts working towards a restructuring study. The CCEARS representatives requested the CCRD convene an open house thereby addressing the issue of transparency, to get a sense of what the taxpayers think, and provide a forum for the CCRD to respond to questions from the populace. CCEARS repre-
sentatives have indicated that the existing recommendations in the 1993 – 94 Restructure Study, which were not really implemented, remain applicable where many of the concerns and questions could be addressed. A new restructure study would prove to be very expensive when there already is an existing study waiting to be implemented. The CAO of the CCRD explained that the implementa-
tion of the existing restructure study may fit into the Strategic Planning process. Upon implementation of the 1993 – 94 Restructure Study, an analysis could be undertaken to identify any existing or outstanding issues and a process to resolve these issues. It should be known that to fund a new Restructure Study that for every $6,600 tax dollars needed represents a one percet additional tax increase
(although some funding may be available from the provincial government). Among many issues, several major items were put forward for action through recommendations that comprise the outcomes of the CCRD Liaison committee’s meetings. They are as follows: Protocol Agreements with First Nations and the regional district as signatories, (discussed the North Island Regional
Protocol Agreement for reference); re-establishment of the Economic Development Commission (with resource person assigned); a Strategic Plan process to commence in April and the CCEARS working group, along with other interested groups, to participate in the Strategic Planning process while the CCRD strives to include the public in the process. The CCRD Board
electoral area representation will be addressed in the Strategic Plan process. Better communication/engagement/transparency is required with the public so a ‘Town Hall’ meeting should be initiated. The community needs to voice concerns about what is happening in our area where the little economic activity we have is under assault by the Provincial Government.
The Central Coast Electoral Area Restructuring Study (CCEARS) working group held a public meeting on May 12 at 7:00 pm in the Nusatsum gym to report back on its activities and meetings with the CCRD regarding issues that had been discussed. CCRD Board member Brian Lande attended the meeting and addressed issues along with Ken Dunsworth from the Working Group.
