Latham Mack with his commissioned piece for the 150th Memorial of the six Tsilhqot'in Chiefs wrongly hung over a century ago.
Nuxalk carver commissioned to carve piece for Lhatsassin Memorial Day 150th Commemoration 150 years ago, five chiefs were imprisoned, tried and executed in October 1864 after accepting an invitation to discuss terms of peace to end the Chilcotin War. A sixth chief was hanged the following year. The day that the five Chiefs were hanged in Quesnel, October 26, is honoured as a national memorial day by the Tsilhqot’in people, known as Lhatsassin Memorial day. This year, on October 23, Premier Clark made a statement in the British Columbia legislative assembly apologizing for the wrongful hanging, and stated the Province's will to exonerate the chiefs to the extent of its ability. The statement fulfills a prom-
ise outlined in the Sept. 10, 2014, Letter of Understanding between the Tsilhqot'in National Government (TNG) and the Province of British Columbia. “This marks a significant step toward reconciliation with the Tsilhqot'in Nation, and to a relationship of respect and recognition,” said Premier Clark. “Our government stood with members from all sides to apologize for wrongful acts, and commit ourselves to redressing them so that we can build a better future together.” The actions by the Province are understood through a mutual agreement to address the healing that must occur around a difficult history of mistreatment, mis-
representation and lack of recognition of First Nations people within the Tsilhqot'in territory and rest of British Columbia. “This is an important day for the Tsilhqot'in - the Province of British Columbia has demonstrated leadership by exonerating our six Chiefs and starting the process of healing. We have much more work to do. We call on the Federal Government to rise to this historic opportunity as well, and take the same steps to exonerate these leaders that died for our people and our way of life,” said Chief Joe Alphonse. “If Canada is ready to acknowledge the wrongs of the past, and build real and respectful relationships today, we can
move from pain into opportunity, from a dark history into a future we can all be proud of. Together we can transform this province and this country.” Well-known Nuxalk carver Latham Mack was commissioned to create a piece that reflected these events, which was unveiled in Quesnel at the Lhatsassin Memorial day on October 26. Several members of the Nuxalk Nation attended the event, which was held at the UNBC's North Cariboo Community Campus. Mack was unable to attend the ceremony due to his new position as a teacher at the Freda Diesing School of Northwest Coast Art in Terrace, but said it was an honour to work on the
piece, which was commissioned by the project coordinator for the Truth and Reconciliation project. Mack met with the Chiefs in the Williams Lake area to have input on what the piece should look like and he incorporated what the Chiefs requested. This included a horse, as horses are a big part of the way of life of the Tsilhqot'in people. “The ones with eyes represent them before they were hung and the ones with their eyes closed represents them after they were hung. The face in the horse's hair represents the one chief that got away but was found later down south and was hung,” said Mack. “What an honour it was to work on this commission.”

Lively discussion characterizes CCRD All Candidates Forum By Caitlin Thompson Five candidates met the community head-on last week at the CMNewssponsored All Candidates Forum held at Lobelco Hall. With a good turnout and excellent questions, it was an encouraging example of local political engagement in action. The forum began with an opening statement from each candidate. There are four candidates running in Area C: Alison Sayers, Drew Kovacic (who did not attend the meeting), Jan Prins and Mark Nelson. Brian Lande and Samuel Schooner were on hand to represent their bids for Area E. Area D candidate Richard Hall has been acclaimed and was unable to attend. The candidates depth of experience and skills were well-rounded and extremely varied. They range from Sayers organic farming and mediation to Nelson's longstanding community involvement and self-employment. Schooner brought his experience on Band Council to the forum, while Lande has served 19 years in local government. Retired and a newcomer to the Valley, Prins has managed a large construction firm and has also completed local environmental work. There were several identifiable themes presented at the meeting and these included economic development, support for community projects and organizations, cooperation and accountability, flooding issues, and
the importance of strengthening relationships with First Nations. One of the first questions the candidates were asked was whether or not they believe the CCRD Board should lead economic development or be led by community-based organization. All the candidates agreed that the CCRD should take the lead on economic development, with Lande stating that the CCRD 'should create an atmosphere for economic growth.' Nelson commented that the Economic Development Commission should be restarted to ensure a community voice, while Sayers and Prins both stated that the CCRD should take the lead but work in partnership with community representation. Schooner expressed the desire for the Nuxalk Nation and the CCRD to work together, saying that 'together we can make a really strong economy.' Recreation was another hot topic, with community members continually insisting that more recreation infrastructure is required to attract new families and satisfy existing community members, from youngsters to elders. The aging Centennial Pool, although 'phenomenally' managed by the Pool Commission, is in obvious need of repair or replacement. “I lived through the year and half we didn't have a pool and heard the complaints,” said Lande. “Within the next year I would like to see major movement on
the pool.” Sayers commented that the pool was a 'major priority' for her, and Prins stated that both the pool and Walker Island required capital investment as they are both heavily utilized by the community. However, finding funds is always the issue. Milicia Epp then asked the candidates how much value they placed in their own desires as opposed to the desires of the community, and how would they handle that? Schooner replied that community meetings would be a great way to find out what people want, and said he 'likes to be accountable to people.' Sayers agreed, saying that she didn't think any work could be done without community consultation. “We represent the public and they have to give us direction,” said Prins. Lande countered that with the observation that local government is also bound to operate under provincial legislation, and that can 'sometimes change their decisions.' There was also the inevitable question related to flooding. The candidates were tasked with answering the difficult question of what 'real, concrete, do-able steps' they would bring to address flood-prone homes? Sayers, whose home was devastated twice due to flooding in Firvale, answered that she had spent countless hours looking for options and often came up 'emptyhanded.' She did not, however, advocate giving up. See MORE page 4

Candidates answer community's tough questions FROM PAGE 3 “It's tough but if there is anything available the CCRD needs to go and get it,” she said, “and the province needs to help.” “The flood woke up everybody but there are a lot of options to explore,” said Schooner. “I don't think we need more studies I think we need to do something. There are options out there.” Prins and Lande both cited the need for more provincial responsibility, and Nelson suggested a river maintenance plan which could also stimulate the local economy. As the issue of electoral restructuring is front and cen-
tre, the candidates were also asked who they felt they served first: their local constituents or the region at large? “Area C will be the first priority, but we are all one community,” said Prins. Schooner countered that, saying that 'regional representation' is more characteristic of his view because 'we are sitting as a team.' Sayers, Nelson and Lande all agreed that the local area should come first, with Lande reminding the crowd that there is also the outer coast to consider, as the regional district actually begins as far south as Cape Caution. The candidates
were also asked how they would strengthen relationships with local First Nations, citing the need to work together as being of utmost importance. “It's critically important,” said Sayers. “Equal say is what's needed.” Nelson agreed. “Protocols with First Nations are extremely important,” he said. “We have to overcome these trust issues and form solid working relationships.” Schooner echoed these sentiments, stating that the two communities 'have their differences, but we need to start working together now.' He also commented that it was
MARK NELSON precisely this reason that he is running for this position. “We don't really get paid to do this, people actually take a lot of flak for doing this,” he said. “I'm not doing it for the money, I want us to work together.” The CCRD also agreed to support

Snootli Hatchery receives $20.4 million to upgrade facilities The Snootli Hatchery is receieving a massive upgrade.
A $20.4 million investment over five years will modernize and refurbish
aging infrastructure at the Snootli Creek Hatchery, which serves the
B.C. Central Coast, and the associated Atnarko Spawning Channel.
The facility has been in operation for more than 35 years and is in need of significant renewal to extend its operational life and enable it to operate more effectively and efficiently. In addition to improving Snootli’s water supply system, as explained above, the investment will consolidate multiple buildings and infrastructure into a single complex; refurbish and replace salmon incubation and juvenile rearing structures; upgrade
and modernize electrical and mechanical systems; improve energy efficiency; address health and safety issues and improve overall site security and flood protection. The Honourable Gail Shea, Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, joined by Andrew Saxton, MP for North Vancouver and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance, and John Weston, MP for West VancouverSunshine CoastSea to Sky
Country, made the announcement in early October. In total, the Government of Canada is providing $34.2 million over five years to upgrade and renew salmon hatcheries and spawning channels operated by the federal government under the Salmonid Enhancement Program (SEP). The Coast Mountain News plans to do a more comprehensive story on the hatchery in the coming weeks.

Rebates available for residents through Wood Stove Exchange Program The Nuxalk Nation's Wood Stove Exchange Program encourages residents to exchange their old, inefficient, non-Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certified wood burning appliances for new EPA-certified wood burning stoves/ inserts. All Bella Coola Valley residents who exchange their old wood-burning appliance for one qualified under the program, are eligible to receive a $250 rebate, providing that the old stove be recycled at Thorsen Creek Waste and Recycling. Other qualifying
appliances include gas stoves, fireplaces and inserts, pellet stoves and inserts, and electric inserts only. Older, less efficient stoves can release between 40 and 80 grams of smoke per hour., while new certified models produce only two to five grams per hour. This means as much as 90 percent reduction in creosote buildup, making the new stoves safer than conventional models. When used as directed, new modern units burn so efficiently that they require up to one third less wood and produce virtually no smoke!
The Wood Stove Exchange Program has been funded by the Ministry of Environment. The Program is supported by the Nuxalk Community Energy Plan of March 2014. Is your stove certified? Since 1994, only wood stoves or fireplace inserts that are emissions-certified can be sold in British Columbia. If your stove is certified it has a plate with a CSA B-415 or a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency label. Look for the CSA or EPA plate on the back of the stove. To qualify you must have an existing wood
burning appliance that does not conform to CSA standards (typically an appliance built and installed before 1994). Visit Townsite Tru Hardware to purchase a new, cleaner-burning, EPA-certified wood, pellet, electric or gas burning stove (freestanding or fireplace insert). Upon purchase of your new appliance, you will be given a rebate voucher from the retailer. This voucher must be signed by the cashier at the time of sale. Purchases must be made between November 1, 2014 and December 31, 2014.
After purchasing your new stove, you must deliver your old one to Thorsen Creek Waste and Recycling Centre where a staff member must sign off on the voucher confirming that you have recycled your old wood stove. Submit your completed voucher in person by January 16, 2015 to Evangeline Hanuse in the basement of the Band Office. Within four weeks a $250 rebate cheque will be mailed to you. Rebates are limited and will be assigned on a firstcome, first-serve basis. One rebate per customer. The value of the

'Explosion of Discovery’ at remote B.C. research station bucks trend of cuts to science By Judith Lavoie DeSmog Canada A former luxury fishing lodge on a remote island off B.C.’s Central Coast has been transformed into a cuttingedge research centre, producing some of the province’s most innovative science. From early April until mid-October each year the off-thegrid Hakai Institute field station on Calvert Island houses renowned scientists, university professors, graduate students and post-doctoral students researching all aspects of the B.C. coast, from grizzly bears and sea otters to sand formations, archaeology and microbes. The breadth of the research was showcased Friday when
The progressive Hakai Institute on the Central Coast is producing some of the province's most innovative science. more than 200 scientists and First Nations researchers gathered in Sidney for the Hakai Research Exchange. And, sitting at the back of the room, listening intently to the presentations, were the two people who have
made the field research station a reality. The Hakai Institute and, now, a new field station on Quadra Island, are funded and run by Eric Peterson and Christina Munck, co-founders of the Tula Foundation.
The concept was born out of a love for the B.C. coast, combined with a realization that — despite a lot of talk about areas such as the Great Bear Rainforest — almost no coastal science was being conducted at the community level, Peterson said. That science gap convinced the couple to put their money into the project after they sold their successful information technology company. “I talked to university scientists and they would say it was so difficult to do work up there because there were no facilities,” Peterson said in an interview. “The Department of Fisheries and Oceans and Ministry of Environment and all the government services were stepping backwards. The
paradox was that, with all the talk about how wonderful our coast is, at the community level and First Nations level, there was no work on the ground.” Peterson decided to combine his entrepreneurial skills with Munck’s background in conservation and botany to create a venue where up-and-coming scientific talent could be mentored. The Tula Foundation purchased the fishing lodge in 2009 and then the work of turning it into a field station started in earnest “We had to rebuild the power grid and the water system and the sewage system and the docks and then in 2012 we started doing science in a significant way and since then the enthusiasm has been almost frightening,” Peterson said. “The growth has been greater than I would have expected. I think it indicates there’s such a pent-up demand for long-term ecological research.” Chris Darimont, Hakai-Raincoast geography professor at the University of Victoria, has seen the benefits first hand as he conducts bear research. “At a time when support for science has generally eroded across Canada, an absolute explosion of discovery is occurring in one of the least studied, but
most beautiful parts of the planet,” he said. The foundation funds graduate students and post-doctoral students, most of whom are itching to have the opportunity to get out of their laboratories and into the field, Peterson said. In addition to becoming a place where “brilliant students can come and do their work” it is also a place where various parties and agencies can come together and talk about controversial issues, Peterson said. “It’s a special place where politics gets left at the door.” Research themes are based on answering important questions, excellent science and great opportunities for teaching, Peterson said. But, even with those criteria, there have been surprises, such as the archaeology program, he said. “I had no interest in archaeology, but people pointed out to me that, where we were on the Central Coast, was a particularly appropriate place to do worldclass archaeology. That was our first hit record,” he said. At the Research Exchange, researchers described nine sites around the Discovery Islands where evidence of human activity from about 7,500 years ago is being studied. “And there is at least 6,000 years of human
history before that time,” said Quentin Mackie, a University of Victoria anthropology professor, describing discoveries of stone tool technology. PhD student Will Atlas is studying how sockeye salmon are coping with warmer water temperatures and hoping a tagging program will help explain how climate change will affect salmon populations around the Central Coast. Sam Harrison, of the University of Victoria's Environmental Law Centre, is venturing into controversial territory as he looks at how diseases at fish farms are reported. Information released by the federal government is useless as it is not specific — meaning it does not reveal which farms have diseased fish — and it is not accessible, he said. “Disease publication matters because it enables independent research and informs decisions about farm siting,” he said. Disease reporting falls far short of the information provided in Scotland and Norway, Harrison said. For Peterson, the variety of research demonstrates that his vision has become a reality. “There’s tremendous chemistry,” he said.“It’s magic when (people) work on accomplishing something together.”

Fight the flu – flu shot clinics underway in Bella Coola Press Release While colder weather and shorter days go hand in hand with wintertime, catching the flu doesn’t have to, according to Vancouver Coastal Health. “For healthy people, falling sick with the flu means a few days of feeling miserable, but for young children, the elderly and those with underlying health conditions, it can lead to hospitalization and ICU admissions,” says VCH Medical Health Officer Dr. Paul Martiquet. “We’re encouraging everyone to get a flu shot so you’re not only protecting yourself, but also the highrisk people around you.” Influenza is highly contagious and can cause serious complications for individuals with weakened immune systems. Every year across Canada, between 4,000 and 8,000 people die from complications due to the flu and pneumonia, and 90 per cent of those who die are seniors. “In Canada, influenza causes the most deaths among vaccine-preventable diseases, outpacing all others combined,” says Dr. Martiquet. “You can spread the flu for up to 24 hours before you have any symptoms, so you can pass it on before you even know you’re sick. Getting the flu shot is the best way to prevent catching it or passing it on.” Flu shots are recommended for everyone. They are free in B.C. for all children from six months to five years of age, people 65 years and older, pregnant women, Aboriginal people, and those with chronic health conditions or compromised immune systems. The vaccine is also important for anyone who lives or works with a person who is at higher risk of problems from the flu. To protect patients
in health care facilities, all B.C. health authorities require that doctors, staff, students and volunteers get immunized or wear a mask while at work during the flu season. To further protect patients, VCH is also asking visitors to our facilities do the same. Masks will be available at nursing stations and/or outpatient reception desks. People planning to visit loved ones in a health care facility or who will take family members to outpatient appointments are also eligible for a free flu shot. The influenza vaccine works by developing antibodies within two weeks of getting the shot. These antibodies protect against flu viruses circulating in the community. “Since the flu shot contains inactivated virus, it can’t make you sick. The most likely side effect of the shot is a sore arm,” Dr. Martiquet explains. “FluMist, which is a nasal spray flu vaccine, contains weakened flu virus and its most common side effect is a runny nose.” Flu vaccinations
are available at special public health flu clinics, doctors’ offices, pharmacies, walk-in clinics and at the VCH Travel Clinic.
Flu clinics throughout the VCH region have already begun; more information can be found on VCH’s Flu Shots & Clinics page.

Know the signs: help prevent violence against B.C. women Press Release Ministry of Justice Nearly seven in 10 Canadians have known a woman who has experienced physical or sexual abuse. As part of Crime Prevention Week (Nov. 1-7), the Province wants to help ensure British Columbians know the signs of violence against women and how they can help. Violence against women happens in all cultures, religions, and ethnic communities, at every age, and in every income group. Violence against women can include: Physical abuse, such as slapping, choking, and punching or using objects as weapons. Using threats, intimidation, or physical harm to force unwanted sexual acts. Emotional and verbal abuse. Examples include threatening to harm family or pets, making degrading comments about a woman's body or behav-
iour, and actions that limit freedom and independence. A woman who is being abused may be apologetic and make excuses for her partner's behaviour, or be nervous when her partner is nearby. She may also seem sad, lonely, withdrawn, afraid and use drugs and alcohol to cope. You can help a woman impacted by violence by: Talking to her about what you see and letting her know you're concerned. Telling her you believe it's not her fault. Encouraging her not to confront her partner if she's planning to leave as her safety must be protected. Offering to provide childcare while she seeks help. Volunteering your home as a safe haven to her, her children, and pets - if your own safety is not at risk. Help is available at any time to victims of violence in B.C. If your safety is in danger, please call 911 right away. You
can also call your local police detachment or VictimLink BC, a toll-free, confidential telephone service available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in more than 110 languages at 1
800 563-0808 (www. victimlinkbc.ca). If you have reason to believe a child is being abused, neglected, or needs protection, please call the Helpline for Children at 3101234 (no area code
required). This number will connect you with a child welfare worker at any time. Government is currently working on a long-term, comprehensive strategy to move towards a violence-free B.C. and
help ensure women, including Aboriginal and vulnerable women, have the supports they need to help prevent violence, to escape from violent situations, and to recover if they have been victims of
crime. For more safety information, contact the BC Crime Prevention Association at 604 501-9222, info@ bccpa.org or visithttp://www.bccpa.org
Halloween Howl! BCE students got into the spirit of Halloween with some great costumes and the usual Halloween parade through the Bella Coola General Hospital.
Save the Discovery Coast Ferry asks: is Minister Stone capable of rational decisions? Petrus Rykes, Chair Save The Discovery Coast Ferry Transportation Minister Todd Stone’s decisions around Route 40 have accomplished precisely the opposite of his stated intentions, exactly as critics in the region have predicted. He spent more than the expected savings to cancel one of BC Ferries’ most utilized sailings and replaced an aging vessel with an older, slower, and much smaller one that has crippled tourism along the Discovery Coast and will still need to be replaced in short order. It calls into question the Minister’s ability to make a rational decision related to his
portfolio. Minister Stone cherry-picked financial results from the 2012 summer season to justify his decisions, rather than the more relevant 2013 results, the 5-year average, or even the 10-year average. The 2012 numbers included large capital cost and debt service write-offs, artificially inflating losses that subsequently were proven to be temporary. This was either a deliberate deception by Minister Stone to make the route appear to be performing terribly, or an act of incompetence in not looking at the data clearly. “In every instance, Minister Stone’s decisions have had the exact opposite effect from his stated justi-
fication and intent,” said Leonard Ellis, Vice-Chair of Save the Discovery Coast Ferry.“He could not have made more harmful, destructive, and costly choices if he deliberately tried.” The amount of traffic on this particular route was also given as a reason for the cuts, with Minister Stone stating Route 40 “carried approximately 500 vehicles” in the 2012 season. This number appears to be made up whole cloth, as BC Ferries records show Route 40 carried 2,138 vehicles (or 2,643 automobile equivalents), at least four or five times greater than the Minister believes. Even at full capacity, the Nimpkish could carry only a third of the regular traffic
known to travel this route every year, limiting travel for both residents and tourists. When the Minister quoted low utilization rates as further justification, he used rates for the entire Route 40. But the cuts were made to just one portion of the route, the direct sailing between Port Hardy and Bella Coola. That route’s capacity utilization was exactly in line with the BC Ferries average, and its southbound sailing had the second-highest utilization rate in the entire fleet. In replacing the aging (but recently refurbished at great expense) Queen of Chilliwack with the even older, much smaller 16-vehicle
Nimpkish, Minister Stone suggested there would be cost savings of approximately $725,000. Instead, extra sailings were required to try to handle a portion of the demand, a connection to the Route 10 ferry had to be established at Bella Bella, and modifications were made to the Nimpkish so passengers would at least have access to potable water for the 9 hour voyage. Instead of being a cost savings, the switch likely cost BC Ferries money, and a replacement vessel will still be needed in a few short years. “Replacing the Queen of Chilliwack with the Nimpkish has actively harmed not only the tourism industry, it has made life difficult
for residents,” stated Petrus Rykes, Chair. “We need a solution that actually works for the region, and
a replacement for a Minister who has not demonstrated the ability to make a rational decision.”
