Hall, Sayers, Schooner and McCullagh to serve on CCRD Board The results are in and a new board has been formed for the Central Coast Regional District. Richard Hall (Area D), Alison Sayers (Area C), Samuel Schooner (Area E) and Cathi McCullagh (Area F) have been elected to serve four-year terms. Hall (Area D - Hagensborg/ Augsburg Church/Tatsquan Creek) and McCullagh (Area A – Outer Coast) were elected by acclamation. McCullagh is

the incumbent for Area A. Area C (Bella Coola Valley) saw the most candidates running, four total, with Sayers taking the clear win with 118 votes. She was followed by Mark Nelson with 30 votes, Jan Prins with 28 votes, and Drew Kovacic with 17 votes. Area E (Townsite) saw newcomer Samuel Schooner running against long-time incumbent Brian Lande. Schooner took the position

with 25 votes to Lande’s 16. “It's exciting that so many people care enough in our community to get out and vote! The CCRD has a great new team of directors, and I look forward to working with them and the CCRD staff,” said Sayers. “Elected officials should be accountable to their constituents, so I commit to listening, asking for input, and keeping our com-

munity informed of what we are doing at the CCRD. I am grateful for this opportunity to help our region move forward in an inclusive way.” “The electorate decided whom they wanted to represent them for the next four years, and we will have to see if their choice was the right one,” said Prins. “Hopefully we will not see the same old, but go ahead and make the valley a better place to live

and prosper.” Lande and Nelson also offered their congratulations to the successful candidates. A professional and informative campaign marked the character of the 2014 elections. Five school district trustees were also elected by acclamation and these are Frank Johnson, Crystal Anderson, Nicola Koroluk, Marisa Blewett and Christina Hoppe.

Couple uses their wedding to raise thousands for ‘Pull Together’ campaign By Andrea Palframan When resource development runs roughshod over the democratic process, it tends to bring out the ‘unity’ in community. In June the federal government approved the Northern Gateway pipeline and tankers project. The ruling—to allow tarsands bitumen to be piped across BC — came despite province-wide protests and a twothirds majority in BC in favor of issuing a federal moratorium on tankers in BC’s inside coastal waters. The National Energy Board ruling, to allow the pipeline subject to 209 conditions, also contravened the Save the Fraser Declaration, which banned oil sands products from the traditional territories of 130 First Nations across BC. Following Save the Fraser, 25,800 people signed on to a solidarity accord, pledging to do ‘whatever it takes’ to stop the Northern Gateway project from being built. It turns out that ‘whatever it takes’ might look less like struggle, and more like a love story. Using the tagline “who knew stopping a pipeline could be so much fun”, a new initiative, called Pull Together, is inviting ordinary citizens to unleash their passion for the BC wilderness by finding creative ways to raise money for First Nations. A partnership between the Sierra Club BC, RAVEN (Respecting Aboriginal Values and Environmental Needs) and five First Nations along the pipeline route, the Pull Together campaign’s goal is to raise $250,000 to support legal challenges by the end of 2014. People all across BC have responded to that call, by organizing bottle drives, film screenings, dinner parties and art shows in support of First Nations. One of the more heartwarming fund-

Jess Housty and Dan Bertrand on their wedding day. Their fundraiser raised over $6000 in the legal fight against Enbridge. raising tales comes from Bella Bella. Like other coastal communities, residents in Bella Bella fear the implications of an oil spill on their livelihoods. “We know that an oil tanker spill can cause a lot of damage,” said fisheries scientist and Heiltsuk hereditary chief Harvey Humchitt, “and we know that Enbridge or Northern Gateway, although they say that they have world class operations, we believe that any tankers running aground would be catastrophic and would cause a huge loss of seafood to our people that rely on the food for subsistence.”

Jess Housty, a councilor with the Heiltsuk, agrees. “The Heilstuk have been concerned about this project since it was proposed,” said Housty. The Nation’s chief and council ‘committed to our community very early that we would pursue every avenue possible to do our part to stop it.’ “What’s at stake for us is our whole identity,” continues Housty. “It’s everything from our language, and our culture, and our spirituality, to the food we rely on, and the places where our ancestor’s bones rest.” So when it came to deciding what to add to their wedding

registry, Housty and her fiancée decided to ask their friends and loved ones to donate to Pull Together instead of buying them a slew of new toasters and blenders. “My partner Dan Bertrand and I have both been really involved in the Enbridge issue. In a lot of ways we didn’t have a really traditional wedding. We just wanted it to be about bringing people that we love together, people that make us happy,” said Housty. “Pull Together seemed like a really nice way to direct folks that we cared about to make a gesture of their love for us and to celebrate what we meant for them as a couple without having to get material about it.” “As one of the communities involved in the legal challenge, as someone from a perspective who is very involved in that legal challenge, it’s very important to gesture my support.” Writing on their online fundraising page at www.pulltogether.ca, Housty says, “You can fight projects like this in the boardroom, and in the court. You can fight them on the street, and on the land. You can also fight them when you walk down the aisle, especially if your loved ones share your beliefs about protect-

ing the coast.” First Nation's constitutional rights can be a powerful tool to ensure affected communities have a stake in projects in their traditional territories— but only if the nations can afford to uphold those rights in court. Housty acknowledges that struggle. “I know First Nations have an incredible amount of power, on that legal side of things. But, from a community development perspective, I know what tribal government’s resources are and I know what

our responsibilities are. And they are really broad! We’re responsible for virtually every aspect of the welfare and the development of our community.” “The thought of a lawsuit added on top of that is such a huge capacity strain. I have a huge amount of admiration for my community, and for many other communities, that never hesitated to take on court challenges. But I wondered where and how and when the support would come.” The Heiltsuk are

one of five Nations whose legal challenges are being supported by Pull Together. The others are coastal nations Kitasoo-Xai'xais, and Gitxaala First Nations, along with interior bands the Nak'adzli and Nadleh Whut'en. All have filed separate legal challenges opposing the federal approval: the Nations are teaming up to fundraise under the precept that such an endeavor requires “many paddles, one canoe”. see

Sir Alexander Mackenzie School celebrates 65 years The Bella Coola Valley has a tremendous amount of history to it and for sixty-five years Sir Alexander Mackenzie School has been a part of that history. Sir Alexander Mackenzie School, or SAMS for short, first opened its doors sixty-five years ago on October 31, 1949. When it opened for the students this marked the first time their school had electricity and indoor plumbing. The school catered to students from grades 1-12 at the time. Over the years, SAMS has not only been remodeled but also reconfigured several times. In September 2008, it became a grade 6-12 school changing from the more traditional high school grade 8-12 model. Although the new modern state-of-the-

art schools have all the bells and whistles, there is something to be said for the quirks, charms and history of a sixty-five year old building; from the noises some of the taps make when the water is turned on in the staffroom to the ghost several staff members swear they have seen in quieter moments near the school library. Not only has the building itself been remodeled, modernized and altered many times over but most recently this past summer with new interior paint and new large windows have been added to what was the old locker bay area. While some look to the city and see the schools there having so much more, in many ways SAMS is for-

tunate. Recent visitor, BC School Principals / VicePrincipal Association President, Gordon Li was asked how much time his school in Burnaby received from its clinical therapist; it was a great deal less than the three days a week that SAMS enjoys of clinical therapist, Cyril Wolgien’s time. SAMS can boast being one of the only schools in the province with its own complete medical exam room set-up (the same as one in the hospital) that is staffed once biweekly by the public health nurse and a doctor from our local hospital. This project was conceived in partnership with then public health nurse, Pat Lenci, and the school to allow students a confidential way to deal more

SAMS school in October of 1949. It was the first time students had indoor electricity and plumbing. pro-actively with health issues. The school has continued to evolve over the years. The Carving program began the evolution and now SAMS boasts an off-site mechanics program, timberframe program, and new this year a high-end food catering team program. The legacy of these programs rests

tangibly in the community and with its students past and present. The Mechanics program can point to many graduates who have gone off to postsecondary education and because of their experiences within the program here often finished their post-secondary education earlier than their classmates from

other high schools. The Timberframe program has left behind a legacy of several buildings and unique partnerships, the main one being the construction of the Healthy Beginnings building but also the several houses and shops the program has built throughout the years. It is the idea that the school and the

community work together in partnership that best exempflies what is best about small, rural schools like SAMS compared to those in larger centers. Again, BCPVPA President, Gordon Li, expressed it best terming what he saw during his visit as “wrap around” programs and services. see MORE on page 6

Williams Lake and District Credit Union awards bursary to local high school grad Williams Lake and District Credit Union wishes to announce that a $1,500 bursary has been awarded to Melissa Brooks. Melissa graduated from Sir Alexander Mackenzie School earlier this year, and has been accepted into the Associate of Arts program at Douglas College. Upon completion of her studies, Melissa intends to find work in her field in a museum or as a local historian. She has supported this path by working as an archival assistant and museum

manager for the past two years. Melissa demonstrated strong leadership skills during her high school career, and served as student council president for three years. She was a leader in "To Youth for Youth" during which time she was involved in the production and presentation of an awareness campaign for HIV/AIDS. In addition, she has served her local church and the aboriginal community in various capacities.

Provision of bursaries to local students is consistent with Williams Lake and District Credit Union's commitment to support its members and their communities. We are pleased to recognize Melissa's achievements with our financial support. Williams Lake and District Credit Union has been serving members since 1952. Branches in Williams Lake, 100 Mile House and Bella Coola provide financial services for a diverse population

Melissa Brooks was the recipient of the WLDCU bursary

spread over a vast area. Williams Lake and District Credit Union boasts assets in excess of $205 million and employs 75 dedicated individuals. Committed to making a difference, the Credit Union supports its local communities through funding, staff expertise, and the energy and commitment of staff volunteers. We are especially pleased to recognize and assist graduating high school students in our local communities.

School works together with multiple community groups FROM PAGE 5 The school couldn’t do what it does if it wasn’t for the cooperation and participation of agencies and groups such as Healthy Beginnings, Community Support, Bella Coola Hospital, Mental Health, MCFD, Nuxalk Health and Wellness and the RCMP to name a few. The school continues to evolve and adapt to the chang-

ing needs of students today. This is made possible by the willingness of the students and the hard work and dedication of the staff past and present. While many schools struggle with ‘post provincial strike hangover’, staff here got right down to work doing what they do best – teaching students and making education as practical as the material allows.

The staff and students make the school and do their best to honour the history of the cultures here and to always remember we stand on the shoulders of those who have come before us. Today, the staff is a mix of new and veteran staff that is a perfect blend of energy to continue moving its programs forward. Programs such as the unique bread and baking

program, underway now for three years, or the salad bar program would not be possible without dedicated staff who think outside the box pursuing grants and other financial opportunities to bring these opportunities to the youth of the valley. Nor would extracurricular programs such as the school’s soccer, basketball and volleyball teams be possible with-

out dedicated staff. SAMS can boast being one of a very small number of co-ed soccer teams that is competitive (placing 3rd this year in the northern zone) within the zone. Be it basketball, soccer, or volleyball our teams regularly bring home trophies for being the Most Sportsmanlike team. SAMS is the smallest school to ever host the Girls

Basketball Single A Zone Tournament as was done last year when 10 teams competed. Again, none of that is possible without the dedication of staff, students and community volunteers. The ultimate goal for every student at SAMS is reaching graduation. Some require a helping hand, others require a bit more than this but every year SAMS

is above the provincial average for the rate of graduation. Sixty-five years is a long time and difficult to encapsulate in a mere few hundred words. Much has changed over those sixty-five years but what remains the same is a great bunch of students, a dedicated, hardworking staff and a school that has and always will be a part of the community.

How to Improve Life for Rural Canadians Canada Post became a Crown Corporation to improve network services. The Canadian Postmasters and Assistants Association (CPAA) wants to ensure this multi-billion dollar public network remains viable and able to serve the public. We have found a way to make this sustainable. A recent study shows that nearly half of post offices outside of Canada’s big cities are in communities with no bank or credit union. In those communities that still have a bank or a credit union, many residents have to contend with limited, part-time banking hours. Our survey of Canada’s 3,300 rural post offices: “Why Post Offices should offer banking services” is available for free download at: http://bit.ly/CPAA_Survey. Offering financial services in post offices would create a new revenue stream for Canada Post. Equally important, it would benefit numerous communities in Canada whose residents, in order to get to a bank or credit union, are forced to travel long distances. That costs time and money and stifles economic development. Many other countries similar to Canada, such as the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland, Japan, Italy and New Zealand, have very successful banking services right in their post offices. We, at CPAA, believe that our study is significant because of the value of this public asset. Canada Post is uniquely positioned to offer financial services throughout rural Canada. When Canada Post can make more money and offer more services to Canadians who need them, we have a perfect opportunity. Let’s not lose it. Please Support Rural Canada. Write to Lisa Raitt, the Minister in charge of Canada Post, and ask her to make this happen. Her letter of suggestion can be found at: http://bit.ly/Letter_LisaRaitt. CPAA represents over 8,700 employees of Canada Post who work in over 3,300 rural post offices across Canada. These offices make up over 50% of all postal outlets. Our membership, consisting of 95% women, serves communities in every province.

Minister denies latest study indicating ferry cuts resulted in lost revenue By Ernest Hall BC Transportation Minister Todd Stone remains unfazed in defending his decision to slash summer ferry service on the Central Coast – in spite of research that shows how devastating his decision has been. During intense questioning in the Legislature earlier this week, Stone stood strongly behind his decision a year ago that resulted in losses of nearly $4 million in gross tourism revenues during the 2014 season and the equivalent of more than $3 mil-

Todd Stone vehemently denied his government made the wrong decision lion in annual GDP losses. These figures emerged from an economic impact study released this week, the first such study to

focus on the Discovery Coast ferry service. (Other studies since the cuts to services all along the coast were announced last November have predicted huge economic losses province-wide.) Stone has consistently countered opposition to his cuts by claiming they are necessary to make ferry fares affordable and to make the ferry services “sustainable”. To date, Stone has dismissed research pointing to the economic damage caused by the cuts, holding to his position that government has to make “tough” deci-

sions. (The government did not conduct its own economic impact study before making the decisions to cut services based on BC Ferries recommendations.) According to the recent study, commissioned by West Chilcotin Tourism Association and conducted by Larose Research and Strategy, the “Connector” service between Bella Coola and Bella Bella last summer lost $870,000 in direct taxes alone – far more than the $725,000 the ferry corporation was trying to save. The report concludes that “the region’s existing ferry service (the 2014 model) is unsustainable and has resulted in significant losses relative to the estimated operational savings.” In the move to save money, the Discovery Coast service, which has operated between Bella Coola and Port Hardy since 1996, last summer employed the 16-car MV Nimpkish on the Bella CoolaBella Bella leg of the journey, replacing the 115-car MV Queen of Chilliwack which had sailed directly between Port Hardy and Bella Coola in years gone by. In addition to the economic losses incurred by the service cuts, the Larose Study also determined pas-

The Nimpkish received a low grade from travelers senger satisfaction with the Nimpkish replacement was “low overall”. Analysing survey data collected from ferry travelers by Bella Coola Valley Tourism, the study found 84 per cent of passengers complained about the lack of comfort, amenities, and the length of the journey. On a scale used widely by the international tourism industry, the Nimpkish rated a score of minus 38 for international travelers where the industry average is plus 24 – a gap of 62 points. This scale measures the likelihood that a product or service will receive bad publicity from a customer. The report concludes “the service shortcomings

are likely to pose risks to the destination’s overall reputation and brand…the MV Nimpkish is simply too small and lacking in requisite amenities for such a lengthy journey.” On average, visitor satisfaction scored 2.65 out of 5 on the Nimpkish survey compared with 4.17 out of 5 for BC Ferries overall. The Larose Study notes that negative comments are beginning to appear online on the most visited travel websites. In responding to such negative concerns, Stone appears adamant over the suitability of the replacement vessel. Having taken the trip to Bella Coola on the Nimpkish last summer, and hav-

ing seen the negative traveler reviews, Stone continues to insist that the Nimpkish is suitable if marketed properly. Responding to the Larose Study in the Legislature this week he blamed the tourism industry for “trash talking what is a very good tourist product”. When asked if he has a plan to “clean up the mess”, Stone told the Legislature he plans to “continue to attack rising fares” and to “squeeze underutilization out of the system”. BC Ferries and Stone have argued that the former Route #40 Bella Coola-Port Hardy service was underutilized even though the one weekly sailing that appealed most to tourists had a ridership of 71 percent - among the most highly used sailings in the entire BC Ferries operation. It is noteworthy that Stone has embellished his understanding of the impact his decision has had by stating that on his August trip to Bella Coola he “met with folks” in the region. In fact, his interaction with local folks involved little more than a newspaper interview. He also exaggerated the enjoyment of his family’s trip by erroneously claiming (in the Legislature) that he had seen grizzly bears and orcas from the Nimpkish.
