15th Annual Bella Coola Music Festival rocks the Valley BY EVANGELINE HANUSE The rain did little to dampen the spirits of attendees at the 15th Annual Bella Coola Music Festival. On July 19 and 20, a diverse and talented lineup of artists performed against the striking backdrop of billowing clouds and soaring mountains. The songs of the Nuxalkmc singers and drummers echoed through the crowd on Saturday afternoon, welcoming them to the Valley. MC Al Simmons kept chil-
dren and adults alike entertained with his bag of tricks and peculiar gadgets while comedic MC Howie Miller amused the audience with his wit and irony. Local favourites AKA took the stage as well as the talented duo Rollah and Laina. For the first time, the Music Festival was broadcast live on Nuxalk Radio 91.1 FM and the sounds of the Festival could be heard through the Valley. It was an exciting collaboration for both parties and they plan
to repeat it every year from now on. Don Amero, a Métis artist from Winnipeg impressed the audience with his soulful yet upbeat musical style. While singing ‘Turn These Grey Skies Blue’ the sun literally broke through the clouds providing relief from the downpour. His message of inspiring his listeners to do well in life and follow one’s own path comes from his ability to thrive despite seeing the struggle of those around him.
With four albums released, including Heart On My Sleeve, The Long Way Home, Deepening and Change Your Life, Amero has been touring across Canada for the past 6 years. The success of his career has earned him numerous awards, including Aboriginal Songwriter and Male Artist of the Year at the 2009 Canadian Folk Music Awards and Male Entertainer of the Year at the 2012 Aboriginal Peoples Choice Music Awards.
The accomplishments Amero has earned are credited to his ability to stay focused on the bigger picture. He also had a trustworthy teacher that he could depend on for help and noted the importance of that experience, “She took me under her wing. People like that become mentors that we need in our lives, especially when our own lives are falling apart,” he explained. “I’m really glad that she was there.” SEE

Al Simmons was hilarious for all members of the audience
Guests and performers captivated by the experience from page 1
While Amero strongly believes music is medicine that touches the soul, he explains why that is, “I’m literally talking about music and the sonic waves itself. Not necessarily the lyrics, not necessarily the type of music but sonically something is happening that reaches deeper than language.” In fact, Amero discovered the healing influence of his song ‘Dark Horse’ when he received a message from a person that heard the song on the radio. The person was struggling with alcoholism and after listening to the song decided to turn away from the liquor store. Recognizing the impact the song had, Amero stated, “That is the biggest honour for me. Knowing that the songs I’ve been writing and have been inspired to write are reaching other people.” Currently Amero is working on his fifth album and looks forward to touring and spending time with his family. In the future he hopes to mentor other up and coming artists.
On Saturday evening 54-40 returned to headline the Music Festival and had the crowd dancing the night away. Such hits as ‘She La’ and ‘Ocean Pearl’ were performed, radiating energy throughout the crowd. After hitting the 30-year mark of writing music and performing together, the group shows little sign of slowing
down. Several other bands were obvious hits with the crowd, including the incredibly energetic Shred Kelly, who entertained the audience with their upbeat banjo tunes and tales of their misadventures down at the estuary. Kobo Town delighted the audience with their beautiful accents and sunny demean-
ours. During their last set they ventured right into the crowd to play and sing along to an audience who gladly surged forward to meet them. The unique sounds of Petunia and the Vipers captivated the crowd and left them with an appreciation for the variety of genres the Festival works hard to present. With
a style that includes old-time country, yodeling, and rock, Petunia has an indescribable voice and an aura that leaves the audience curious for more. As always, the rockstar of the North Rachelle Van Zanten was a hit with the crowd. With her down to earth attitude and ability to relate directly to people, Van Zanten
delivered a dynamic performance that brought the audience to their feet. The Fugitives had the honour of closing the show on Sunday evening and they delivered a stellar performance that included comedy, a little political humour, and a lot of dancing. MC Howie Miller, who is now famous in Bella Coola for his ability to handle a dozen rowdy kids, led the
finale with a pretty awesome rendition of ‘Stand By Me.’ With the rugged beauty the Valley has to offer and the friendliness of the “Bella Coola wave” when driving the Highway 20, guests and performers were captivated by the experience. Organizers, volunteers and vendors were ecstatic with successful Music Festival, and surely many more to come.

New research shows grizzly bears have colonized unprotected islands in the Great Bear Rainforest PRESS RELEASE When Douglas Neasloss, Resource Stewardship Director and former Chief Counselor of the Kitasoo/Xai’xais First Nation, first noticed grizzly bears on coastal islands in the Great Bear Rainforest, he was concerned. Although mainland parts of his traditional territory contained both grizzly and black bears, only black bears were known to live on the islands. Neasloss told provincial government biologists, but was dismissed because “he was not a biologist”. Determined, he found allies in the academic world who recognized the value of this local knowledge and could meaningfully combine it with science. Today, a collaboration of wildlife scientists published a study in the international peer-reviewed journal, PLOS ONE, affirming that Neasloss was right all along. Researchers from the Kitasoo/Xais’xais’ own Spirit Bear Research Foundation, the Raincoast Conservation Foundation, and the University of Victoria conducted a two-year survey of fourteen islands in the Great Bear Rainforest - outside the range the BC government recognizes in its management of grizzlies. Ten islands showed evidence of resident grizzly bears. Importantly, the results showed the presence of females and young cubs, which generally move little in a given season. This suggests that
A grizzly cub catches a nap grizzly bears are resident on the islands, not simply passing through. The scientists used a combination of non-invasive techniques to study grizzly bear distribution in the area. Noninvasively snagged hair provided DNA for genetic analyses, revealing the species, sex, and individual identity of bears. Remote cameras took photos of bears as they investigated the snagging stations. Although providing critical scientific information, the two years of fieldwork would have had limited meaning without the deeper time perspective provided by the Kitasoo/Xais’xais and the neighbouring Heiltsuk First Nations. Through interviews and mapping, researchers documented an increase in sightings of island grizzly bears over the past 30 years. But
cultural stories from both Nations linked grizzlies almost exclusively to the mainland. “Our method drew from 10,000 years of place-based history and the cutting edge of genetic analyses. This let us
draw conclusions with more detail, and over longer time periods, than either method could alone,” says lead author Christina Service, a PhD student at the University of Victoria and scientist with the Spirit Bear
Research Foundation and Raincoast Conservation Foundation. Douglas Neasloss argues that both the data and interdisciplinary method are important steps for First Nations to man-
Internet service to 280,000 households in rural and remote regions of the country that currently have slower or no Internet access. This means more Canadians will be able to connect with their teachers, doctors and families across the country as well as realize economic opportunities. These services all require large amounts of data to be transferred quickly. To do this, they will work with Internet Service Providers (ISP)
and provinces and territories in areas of the country where broadband Internet access is at slower speeds or non-existent. During the summer of 2014 they are updating their maps of national broadband coverage and invite Canadians to provide feedback online to help better determine areas where there could be eligible projects. Once they have determined where there are households in need of greater
age natural resources in their territories again. “Our Nation acted like a responsible government should in today’s world. We solicited the best available information on wildlife. This included not only modern science but also our own knowledge. This research model increasingly empowers us to make sound decisions about bears and the other resources we steward,” says Douglas. This research has important implications. On one hand, it suggests underlying environmental change. On the other, the presence of grizzlies on islands could trigger new land protection because provincial policy requires high quality grizzly habitat to be protected throughout the Great Bear Rainforest. “Here we have another example of indigenous govern-
ments investing in resource management. Against a backdrop of eroding funding for, and public confidence in, the ability of provincial and federal governments to steward these ecosystems, it’s yet more evidence of the sweeping changes to how resources will be managed in the future”, says Dr. Chris Darimont, Science Director at Raincoast and Hakai-Raincoast professor at the University of Victoria. Additional authors on this study include Kyle Artelle of Simon Fraser University and Raincoast Conservation Foundation, Laura Grant of the University of Victoria and Spirit Bear Research Foundation, and Megan Adams and Paul Paquet who hold appointments at the Raincoast Conservation Foundation and the University of Victoria.

First Bella Coola Batfest at Clayton Falls resounding success By Helen Davis The Bella Coola Batfest, held Saturday night at the Clayton Falls Recreation Site, was a resounding success. Twenty-three people attended the event and met with biologists Mandy Kellner and Helen Davis, and assistant Jon Sampson. The crew set up mist-nets to catch bats, used bat detectors to monitor bat activity, and discussed bat biology. As dusk fell, they captured three female Yuma Myotis and attendees got to see these bats up close. Kellner and Davis were also delighted to have the opportunity to discuss findings of their project in the Clayton Falls Watershed. These
included the diverse bat species captured or detected, sightings of tailed frogs, western
toads, and the location that same day of a Goshawk family and their nest.

Gail Moody has been an avid reader all her life and shares this love with all children including, of course, her grandchildren. As director of
“Healthy Beginnings”, she is able to spread her enthusiasm to the whole community of little people and their parents.Joined with her staff, reading, books, puppets, songs and games have launched many children into the imaginary world of literature. She also is a founding member of the Bella Coola Valley Literacy Task group that supports literacy efforts throughout the
community. Her current project is underway; one she has been scheming about for a long time. Nuxalk Song and dance for children will soon be available on DVD for families to encourage Nuxalk Language in everyday life. Darlene RiversMack has volunteered at every Family Literacy Fair for six years.She is hard to find at times as she is always busy helping
children with their reading skills in several schools. She is a trained volunteer tutor at the New Leaf Learning Centre, realizing these skills will help her as well as others. She talks freely about her experience in residential school and is doing her best to eliminate the residual effects. Her latest undertaking is to further her studies in the home based “Arrowmight”
program that her own band in Squamish is paying for. She enjoys learning the variety of topics in this interesting self-paced program. She is a role model for learning and always seeking to learn more. The New Leaf Learning Centre wishes to thank everyone who has supported its programs and work toward a more literate community.

Tourism suffers as Nimpkish enters first year BY ERNEST HALL Midway through the 2014 tourist season, tourism businesses along Highway 20 from end to end are hurting, according to a recent survey conducted by Bella Coola Valley Tourism. And the future for the industry may be even bleaker. In a telephone survey of businesses stretching from the Bella Coola townsite to Riske Creek, nearly all reported business is down this summer – with estimates ranging from 10 to more than 90 percent. Those suffering most are businesses offering tours in addition to accommodations. Especially suffering are those most dependent on advance bookings by international agencies wishing to book travellers on the Discovery Coast Circle Tour – a worldclass adventure scuttled this season in cost-cutting measures recommended by BC
Ferries and adopted by the BC government. This move involved replacing the MV Queen of Chilliwack with the much smaller MV Nimpkish that connects with the Port Hardy-Prince Rupert ferry at Bella Bella. When asked if business was better or worse compared to business in 2013, only three reported business to be about the same, noting that their businesses were not highly dependent on the ferry service. One accommodator/ tour operator reported an increase of 10 percent in business which was attributed to an advertising campaign and special offers for fly-in guests Businesses hardest hit are those who have promoted largely through European agencies who used to schedule the Circle Tour as part of a three-week $15,000 “trip of a lifetime” to British Columbia – the type of booking that is done many months in advance.
This season, tourists and agents were unable to book on the Circle Tour until late April, which was too late for most international travellers. Consequently,
European agents scratched the Circle Tour from their packages, and those travellers found elsewhere to go. SEE

Some ferry-dependent businesses down 90 percent from page 7
Respondents to the BCVT survey indicated that much of the 2014 tourist traffic involves Canadian travellers. Most of the businesses surveyed indicated that much of their operation – in some cases, 90 percent - has depended on the summer ferry service. Three of these, seasonal operators in the Chilcotin, said 65 to 98 percent of their business depended on ferry travellers, and the cancellation of Route #40 accounted for business losses of 40 to 90 percent. One Chilcotin business has nights booked for 13 couples between now and mid-September. In 2013, this number was 130. After 21 years in business, this operator says the upside is that his wife can swim in the lake every day and they are planning an August vacation. They are considering closing down the operation entirely. One Bella Coola tour operator whose business is 75 percent dependent on ferry traffic said business is down 75 percent at this point while another reported losses of 60 – 80 per-
cent. A third, who offers both accommodation and tours, said his business, which is 70 percent ferrydependent, is down a whopping 90 percent over last year. The 2014 version of the Circle Tour is losing not only its international travellers. For instance, one seasonal operator who has catered to three tour buses each bringing 30 – 40 Canadian seniors on the Circle Tour for 14 summers has just done so for the last time. These tours, west from Williams Lake, involved stopping for lunch in the Chilcotin, overnighting at Nimpo Lake, going for a flightseeing tour of the glaciers to the south, overnighting in Bella Coola, and heading out the channel and across Queen Charlotte Sound to Vancouver Island. Although sailings on the Nimpkish are often full (at times to the point of overcrowding – raising concerns about safety), there are still plenty of rooms in the Valley and across the Chilcotin for additional ferry travellers. In fact, a recent BCVT inventory of Valley accommodations indicates ample space for the num-

bers travelling on the much larger Queen of Chilliwack in years gone by. The business loss this season is only part of the gloom that has descended on the industry. With no indication from BC Ferries or the government that plans are under way to address the financial concerns of area businesses, some fear that the damage is much more
far-reaching. Because international travel agencies require months and years to arrange tour packages that depend on reliable bookings, many won’t consider recommending travel involving BC Ferries – even if a more suitable service were put in place immediately. Such agencies need guarantees of schedules and fares for as long as five
years, and as one operator put it, BC Ferries and the BC government have created such a climate of uncertainty that “European tour operators won’t touch BC as a destination”. Tourism businesses also fear the damage to the region’s reputation caused by the Route #40 cancellation and the Nimpkish replacement. Travellers try-
ing to book on the Circle Tour are discovering that space is not available, and those who do make the voyage are complaining about the inconvenience of the 16 ½-hour trip from between Bella Coola and Port Hardy – nine hours of it on an inappropriate vessel arriving in Bella Coola at midnight. While travellers arriving in Bella Coola
on the Nimpkish are lavishing great praise on the crew for their efforts to make the experience enjoyable, many say they would not recommend the Nimpkish experience to others. The Coast Mountain News plans to publish a comprehensive report on passenger reactions to the Nimpkish experience in the August 14 issue.
