Superstar goalie Carey Price and his wife Angela with members of the Nuxalk Nation in Anahim Lake last week

NHL superstar Carey Price honoured by community in Anahim Lake BY CAITLIN THOMPSON The gymnasium of the Anahim Lake School was packed last week as community members turned out to honour one of their own: superstar NHL goalie Carey Price. In town to promote his new role as First Nations Ambassador for the Breakfast Club of Canada, Price was excitedly received by his biggest fans: the Ulkatcho community. Price’s remarkable story is well known by now. Of both Ulkatcho and Nuxalk descent, Price was raised on the ice of Anahim Lake, which was little more than backyard creeks and outdoor rinks, with his goalie father always by his side. “It was just me and my dad a lot of the time,” Price said. “We would spend hours out on the creeks, in the cold.” At age nine his dad decided

he should join a team, so they made the nearly 700-kilometre round trip to Williams Lake a few times a week. It got so taxing that Price’s father Jerry, who had his pilot’s license, bought a small plane and the commute was cut to a more reasonable 45 minutes. By 16, he had played 28 games with the Western Hockey League’s TriCity Americans, based in Kennewick, Washington. At 20, Price was playing in front of 21,000 demanding fans at the Canadiens’ Bell Centre. Hailed as the ‘best goalie in the world,’ this year he won a gold medal at the Sochi Olympics and led the Canadiens to a stellar showing in the Stanley Cup playoffs, earning the moniker ‘Jesus Price.’ Joined by representatives from Air Canada, the Breakfast Club of Canada, and the Ulkatcho, Nuxalk, and

Tsilhqot’in Nations, the afternoon began with the announcement that the Breakfast Club of Canada, in partnership with Air Canada, the Ulkatcho First Nation and the school district, would be providing a breakfast program for the local schools indefinitely. “We have more than 154 programs in First Nations communities across Canada and we are feeding 150,000 kids a day through this program,” said Daniel Germain, President and Founder of the Breakfast Club of Canada. “We will be here as long as you need us.” Performances from MarieJones’ Anahim and Bella Coola dancers were followed by a casual lunch and plenty of photo op’s. The Nuxalk dancers and singers then performed the sacred ‘kusyut’ mask dances, all of which were performed by youth. SEE EXCITED ON PAGE 3

Excited fans from Anahim Lake, Bella Coola meet their hockey hero FROM PAGE 1 Faye Edgar and Chief Rhonda Schooner recalled Price’s Nuxalk ancestry (Price’s great-grandfather was Chief Domas Squinas, a Nuxalkmc from the Wolf Clan at Stuie) and honoured him with gifts of a cedar hat (bearing the Montreal Canadiens insignia) and a smudge bowl. Price’s mother, Lynda, grandmother Teresa and wife Angela were also presented with gifts. Known for his laid-back and

humble demeanor, Price was emotional when he was asked to address the crowd, answering questions on everything from his favourite memories about growing up in Anahim to his advice for local youth. He recalled a ‘peaceful’ upbringing in Anahim Lake, saying his parents sheltered him from much of the troubles that a city-life could bring. “I had a lot of good friends here,” he said. “It was quiet, we fished in the creeks and rode horses. I’m

proud to have grown up here.” When reflecting on his past year he said his marriage last August was a milestone in his life, and that he thought about Anahim as he was playing that final gold medal game in Sochi. He also encouraged the community to stay positive. “Throughout life there will be a lot of disappointments,” he said. “We have to be able to manage our disappointments, people go through a lot of hardships.

Support from your family and friends is really important.” When asked what message he had for the kids in the community, Price said he could relate. “I’ve been in your shoes and I really just have one message for you,” said Price. “I know what it’s like to grow up in a remote place. If you get an opportunity, make the most of it. It doesn’t have to be hockey, just use your best qualities. Do your best and opportunities will materialize from there.”

Carey spent lots of time meeting with fans from his home community

Mack Family raises pole, hosts reunion at Nusqu’lst By Evangeline Hanuse

Mack family and other families of the Nuxalk Nation.

It was thorough 25 days of hard work and determination that a totem pole representing a grizzly bear holding a copper was completed. On August 16, 2014, the totem pole, designed by Lyle Mack, was raised at Nusqu’lst. This area is the traditional territory of the

Coinciding with a Mack family reunion organized by Buddy Mack and Faye Edgar and many others, the event also unveiled the memorial headstones of Gloria Smith, who was the daughter of Minnie Mack, and Lucy Mack, who was

the wife of Orden Mack. Chuck Whaley opened the event with a prayer and Jacinda Mack welcomed the hereditary chiefs, elders and guests. Due to the historical eradication of much of the Nuxalkmc because of smallpox, Mack stated that, “All of us here today are the strongest of people, we are the

survivors.” It took many people working together to complete the totem pole. Along with experienced carvers Alvin Mack and James Mack Sr., other main carvers included Alvin’s sons Lyle, Rueben, Brandon, as well as Clyde Young, Kyle Tallio, Peter Snow and Chazz Mack. The passion of the carvers and ability to collaborate well together worked to unite the Mack family and hopefully the rest of the community. Alvin Mack stated, “If we work hard together as a nation and as a people, we can do anything.” Hereditary Chief James Mack Sr. and Alvin Mack remember as youth watching their father Willie Mack carve in their living room. They started by helping him sand and paint and they eventually learned the art and technique themselves. Lyle Mack kept his grandfather in his mind as he worked on the pole and cited him as an inspiration and reflected that, “On almost every one of his poles he carved the grizzly with the copper.” The grizzly bear is the family crest used by the Mack family. Alvin Mack also noted that when the totem pole was raised it tilted sideways and when it was positioned in the ground it again turned a little bit. Although with some

manpower it could have been straightened out to face the highway straight on, it was left in its original place watching over the Nusqu’lst valley. Reuniting together in a positive way for the family brought excitement and stronger family connections. The Mack family is large, with relatives all

over BC and beyond. Coming together in their homeland was very unifying for James Mack Sr. “I really enjoyed getting to know the family more,” he said. Reflecting on the events that took place, Melvina Mack stated that, “We are always guided by our culture, values and traditions.

We are always evolving.” Stories were told, songs were sung and dances were shared. All validation, that despite the setbacks that Colonialism has brought to Nuxalk Nation, the future of the Nation is optimistic. Undoubtedly, this is one of many poles being planned by local carvers.

Popular BC Parks Wildlife Viewing Platform reopens September 1 BY JOAN SAWICKI Once again, September 1 marks the reopening of the BC Parks Belarko Wildlife Viewing Platform. Established as a pilot project in 2010 with the goal of increasing safety for both bears and people, the Platform has become a popular wildlife-viewing destination for both local residents and tourists. The Platform will be open seven days a week during the month of September, from 7 am to 7 pm, with the possibility of reduced hours later in the month as daylight hours shorten. Hours of operation are subject to change, however, so visitors are encouraged to check the BC Parks website to confirm opening times.

Visitors will notice a few changes this season, and more are to come later in the year. It is hoped that the electrified and cedar rail fence surrounding the Platform will have been upgraded by the September 1 opening date. Later in the fall and in early 2015, when bears are no longer active in the area, further infrastructure changes are planned, including security fencing for the parking lot, a reception gazebo and a reconfigured pathway to increase accessibility for Park visitors who use wheelchairs or who have difficulty walking. On the Platform itself, a covered information kiosk will include BC Parks ecological and Nuxalk Nation cultural displays. There will also

The Belarko Bear Viewing Station has proven to be a very popular addition to the Park be a covered shelter where visitors can view bears protected from rain or hot sun. BC Parks is currently engaged in Calls for Proposals related to these next phases of the project. As in previous

years, the Platform will operate with staffing assistance of local professionals and park rangers from other regions. This year, however, there will also be a training component that will see members

of the Nuxalk Nation participating in staffing the platform. This will provide Park visitors with opportunities to learn about the cultural significance of this area to the Nuxalkmc people, in whose

traditional territory Tweedsmuir Park and the viewing platform are located. While BC Parks is encouraging everyone to use the Platform, they are aware that there are other sites along the Atnarko River corridor where people have traditionally gathered to view bears. For public safety and protection of critical bear habitat, some of these areas will be closed to the public from September 1 to October 15, including the Esker Trail from the ‘smokehole’ at Stuie to the DFO fish counting tower. With its important function as a commercial boat launch, the Belarko boat launch area will be off limits to wildlife viewing. These and other sites along the corridor will

see enhanced Parks staff presence, with increased patrols and public education to remind visitors that bears have the rightof-way along the Atnarko River. The fall salmon season is a critical time for bears to feed, undisturbed. With the effects of the 2010 flood upon fish and bear populations still unknown, it is even more important to protect bears during this period. The main objectives of the BC Parks Belarko Wildlife Platform are to reduce the risk of potential injury to Park visitors from bear encounters and to increase the predictability of human behaviour along this section of critical habitat, so that ‘bears can be bears’ and can do what they need to do to prepare for winter hibernation.

Once wagered in Super Bowl, Nuxalk mask makes trip back to Bella Coola By Marsha Lederman The B.C. First Nations mask that made headlines after a U.S. art museum wagered it in a Super Bowl bet is returning home to British Columbia next month for a community celebration. Officials from the Seattle Art Museum will bring the Nuxalk forehead mask back to Bella Coola for a few days, where it’s sure to be a highlight of the much-anticipated potlatch. “It’s going to be awesome, very awesome,” said Nuxalk chief Wally Webber, who was blindsided by the wager when it was made public in January. “It’s going to be a godsend to have it come home, even just for a short while.” Noting that it was reminiscent of a “mighty Seahawk,” the Seattle Art Museum

offered up the mask in a bet with its Denver counterpart where the winning city would receive a specified piece of art on loan from the losing city’s museum. The offer was withdrawn after the Nuxalk Nation, which had not been consulted, expressed its concern about a sacred ceremonial treasure being used in this way. “It was an insult to us, putting that mask up for a bet, a wager. But now they know that they shouldn’t be doing stuff like that,” Chief Webber said. “I’m pretty sure that these museums have a manual on how to deal with stuff like this, but someone didn’t pay attention to it.” SAM officials tackled the controversy head-on, offering up a different piece of art for the wager (the Seahawks won the game and Frederic Remington’s The Broncho Buster was

sent to Seattle from Denver); apologizing to the Nuxalk repeatedly for the fumble; and also engaging in talks with them about making amends. This ultimately led to the plan to bring the mask back to Bella Coola for the Charles Nelson Potlatch on Sept. 27. The alder and red cedar bark mask, made around 1880, has not been back to Bella Coola since it left “God, over 100 years ago,” said Chief Webber. With the Nuxalk planning to dance the mask, the potlatch is expected to draw a large crowd – Chief Webber predicts more than a thousand people will attend. “Everyone’s excited for it to come home,” he said. Nuxalk master carvers will prepare the mask for use in the ceremony. And while in Bella Coola, it will be photographed from every angle so that

This ancient mask will be danced in the Nelson Potlatch on September 27 Nuxalk carvers can make a replica. Chief Webber also wants to investigate the possibility of a long-term loan so that the mask can spend a longer time in the remote community. Accompanying the mask to B.C. will be SAM director and CEO Kimerly Rorschach and Barbara Brotherton,

SAM’s Curator of Native American Art. “I’m sure it’s going to be very moving, in that these are ancestors to them, in a sense,” said Dr. Brotherton. “It’s good for museum people to see that kind of esteem and emotional connection that the living community has for these pieces. ’Cause you know

they’re so dislocated from that when they’re in the museum display.” Dr. Brotherton sees the mask’s visit as a happy ending – but “also a happy beginning.” She points out that there are other Nuxalk pieces in the SAM collection, and she says the relationship the museum is

establishing with the Nuxalk people will ultimately benefit the artifacts, and the museum. “We’re sensitive that the authority about a lot of these works belongs with the community, but sometimes we make executive decisions. And I think in that case it was a misstep. So we have learned [from] that.”

Local artist opens Dragonfly Studios in Hagensborg By Caitlin Thompson Local artist and entrepreneur Tahirih Goffic has transformed the former Coast Mountain News office into an amazingly engaging place that is sure to delight any visitor. Following a dream that had been simmering for years, Tahirih said that although she had planned it for ‘five or so years down the road,’ the move by CMNews made it an instant possibility, so she grabbed it. Having always been

drawn to the creatures, Tahirih followed her instincts and named the shop ‘Dragonfly Studios, Gallery, Gifts and Café.’ “I’ve always felt a connection with dragonflies, and always called my business Dragonfly Studios way before I ever had a storefront,” she explained, “I once got out of my car on the Chilcotin to stretch my legs in a beautiful spot, and was surrounded by a dragonfly swarm. It was amazing and beautiful!” The store now hosts a variety of local

Dragonfly Studios hosts art, specialty coffee, baked goods and more.

art, handmade jewelry, photographs, paintings, and more. Tahirih, already a well-known artisan baker and caterer (anyone who has ordered her stunning cakes can attest) is also serving specialty coffees, oldfashioned milkshakes, iced tea, and an array of baked goods. To find out more, stop by at her place. The bright sign is visible from Highway 20, just before Walker Island road heading east. Hours are from 8am – 4:30pm, Tuesday to Saturday.

Joyce Mikkelson remembered as a neighbour and a friend

Joyce and Monica on her wedding day

Joyce Mikkelson was my neighbor for just about 30 years. Not just a neighbor though, Joyce was my friend. A neighbor is a nearby dweller; a friend is someone you love. In the late 70s early 80s a bunch of us descended upon Joyce and her husband Henry’s quiet, end of Grant Road life. I imagine they felt some apprehension suddenly surrounded by hairy, boisterous youth, but as we grew up around them, building our homes, gardens and

families Henry and Joyce became true friends to all of us. We were fortunate to have their wisdom and experience to help us build our lives on the road. Whether it was potato and fishing lore, or battling bears, bugs and high water, Joyce and Henry became mentors, step-parents and grandparents to us newcomers. In time, Joyce’s daughter Catherine became a close friend of mine which brought me even closer to the family, becoming

a daughter of sorts. Dropping by for tea or one of Henry’s stiff G&T’s around the big oak table was a weekly pleasure. Talk ran from politics, how to stuff and tutorage on local family trees, gardening, books and Coronation Street. Like true neighbours, dropping by was encouraged; no invitation needed. At the end of a busy day, Joyce, like myself loved to unwind with a walk down the road. Like clockwork I’d reach her house and

we’d stroll together. That time spent is memorable to me, quietly with a friend enjoying the cooling air of a day almost done. Years later, when Henry passed those walks seemed even more important. Joyce petite, charming and classy, from a generation of women living through a depression, a world war and dramatic shifts in economic and social forces was a determined and resilient woman. A war bride from England with a passion for the-

atre, she plunged into life in the wilderness of Bella Coola with her stiff upper lip. To me Joyce was the smell of warm buns out the oven, a lover of asparagus and roses, a reader of British mysteries, a strong steady voice, a welcoming smile. She was a good neighbor and loving friend. It is hard to say goodbye but her tenacious and gentle spirit will always remain on the road, in the neighbourhood and in my heart. All My Love, Monica

New year, fresh faces at Bella Coola Adventist Academy By Domonique Renaud A new school year is about to begin, and with it we welcome new faces to the Bella Coola Adventist School. Miss Renee Johnson is here from Richmond to join our staff as the K-4 teacher and is also taking on the big task of Principle. Her experience primarily lies with the Primary grades and for the last couple of years,

she has worked as a Special Needs Education Assistant. What brought her from the big city to our little town of Bella Coola? “It’s so pretty here. I love mountains, I love the ocean and here I have both. It’s like I can see the hands of God in all the beauty that surrounds me”. She is looking forward to the character building that living in a small town is supposed to bring,

“I hear it’s good for you” she stated with a mischievous smile. She is joined by two other staff members this year, familiar faces to our valley: Mrs. CJ (Lucinda) Dixon, and Mr. Allan Kaytor. They will be teaming up in the upper grade classroom involving grades 5-9. Both are welcome additions to our team as they both have had a vested interest in our school for

many years. CJ Dixon has worked in different capacities in our school since the year 2000, some of those jobs including Education Assistant, Librarian, Special Needs Education Assistant, Secretary, supervising the renovations of the school for the last 14 years as well as many other helpful roles. To say that she has a vested interest in the wellbeing of our school is an understatement. Mr. Kaytor, has been involved as well as a male role-model in our school, assisting in the physical education classes and supporting our teachers in an Education Assistant role. Allan has worked as a teacher

Renee Johnson K-4 teacher/principal for 20 years and is looking forward to teaching here in our school. “It is fantastic to have teachers that are new to this school, yet have such varied backgrounds in education”, says CJ Dixon. “We are all

fresh, but have the experience to keep our expectations and goals realistic.” “The entire staff here is friendly and team orientated. You can tell that they all care about the welfare of our students” Principle Renee Johnson noted “We didn’t have to walk on eggshells when we got together to discuss the school year, we just got down and did the work.” In what our teachers have planned this year, it would seem that both classrooms have a common goal; “service”, for the sake of service within our community. “We are a community school” says a board member. “I think that

Mikkelson, Gwendoline Joyce

Beloved mother, grandmother and great grandmother Joyce passed away peacefully on August 9, 2014 in Victoria with her daughter Catherine by her side. She was in her 90th year of a life exceptionally well lived. She leaves behind many wonderful memories for her friends and family who are eternally grateful for the remarkable influence she had on their lives. She faced the many challenges life threw her way with grace, courage and good cheer. She was a marvellous role model for her children and was unwaveringly proud of her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was a loyal and generous friend who took great delight in nature, gardening, reading and theatre. Joyce was born on Oct. 1, 1924 to Alfred and Rose Cudmore in Yorkshire, England. She grew up in England where her father managed and owned hotels. She was an aspiring actress who was accepted for formal training at Cambridge, but it was interrupted by the Second World War. Near the end of the war she married RCAF airman Harold Carter and as a war bride moved to the wilds of British Columbia, namely Stuie in the Bella Coola Valley. After two return trips to England, various short stints in several B.C. communities, the family finally settled back in Bella Coola.

Got Two Years?

2.05%

After her union with Harold ended, Joyce married Henry Mikkelson, the love of her life. They enjoyed an idyllic life together on Grant Road, and were active and popular members of the community. Joyce played an integral role in the forming of the Bella Coola Little Theatre Guild, which has just completed 50 years of entertaining valley folks. She was instrumental in the founding of the Bella Coola Arts Council and remained involved for many years. She was also the first president of the Bella Coola chapter of the Canadian Cancer Society. She also faithfully collected weather information for the federal government at her back yard observation station for close to 50 years.

Deposits up to $100,000

2.10% Deposits over $100,000

After Henry’s death in 1996, Joyce gardened on at the homestead until 2010 when she moved to Victoria to be closer to family. She is survived by her children John (Patricia) of Renfrew, Ontario, Mark (Thea) of Mill Bay, Cynthia (Harvey) Gorsline of Kelowna, and Catherine of Victoria; grandchildren Tania, Matthew, Julia, Jeffrey, Brandon, Megan, Jeanette, Lorna and Colton; and great-grandchildren Hannah, Sierra, Benjamin, Gavin, Everett and Amaya Joyce; and sister Patricia in Spain. A graveside memorial service will be held at the Bella Coola Cemetery on Saturday, Oct. 4 at 1 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking that donations in Joyce’s memory be made to the British Columbia Cancer Society or charity of choice. Rest in peace, dear mother, knowing you loved and were loved in return. Your indomitable spirit will live on always in our minds and hearts.

*Applies to 2 year term. Other special rates available.

many people believe that we are only here for the kids that are within our church, when in fact we are non-discriminatory of students that wish to join our school. Though we are Christ centered, we believe and practice the inclusion of all cultures and beliefs and welcome them equally with open arms.” CJ Dixon explains the benefit of multigrade classrooms beautifully, “If a child is in grade 7 and still struggles with grade 6 Math, they can listen in when that subject is being taught and have a chance to refresh and relearn what they found difficult. Likewise, a student in grade 6 that finds Math simple and needs a challenge can listen in to the grade 7 lesson and challenge themselves with a higher level.” Our school offers low student to teacher ratio, with each classroom capped at 15 students, making our maximum enrollment 30 students in all. We have two Polyvision Touchboards used in the classrooms, and computers for the students to use when needed for school projects. A full Home Economics program for the grades 5-9, morning exercises and music to start the day in the K-4 classroom allow a very small glimpse of the full programs our teachers are looking forward to providing. “The students will learn”, assures Principle Johnson. School starts September 2, 2014 and if you are interested remember that there is only a onetime $100.00 registration fee. Tuition is free. If you wish to inquire further please call 250-799-5910 or stop by. Our staff and teachers are willing to meet with you and answer any questions you may have.
