Tensions were high in Bella Bella last week over a contested herring fishery

Controversial herring fishery on Central Coast closed after protests, occupation BY CAITLIN THOMPSON Members of the Heiltsuk Nation did not give up their fight over what they called an “unsustainable kill-fishery” of herring located in their traditional territory. Emotions were at an all-time high early last week when Heiltsuk members took the unprecedented step of occupying the DFO office located on Denny Island, near Bella Bella on Sunday, March 30. Supporting protests sprung up in Vancouver, the Island, and Bella Coola in the following days. Late last week, the Heiltsuk emerged from the DFO offices on Denny Island victorious, as officials confirmed that Area 7 would be closed. “We did it!” declared Heiltsuk Chief Councillor Marilyn Slett to a jubilant crowd at the fisheries
office near Bella Bella, as the herring gillnet fleet departed the central coast empty. “This was our no-go zone,” said Slett, holding up a map of Area 7 in Heiltsuk territory, “and nobody went there.” After initially declining an invitation to meet the Heiltsuk, DFO’s senior B.C. manager Sue Farlinger emerged after three hours of talks with leaders on Denny Island last Tuesday, saying she needed to check with Ottawa whether the fishery would close or remain open. “The commercial herring roe fishery all of the Central Coast Management Area (Areas 6, 7, 8) has concluded,” DFO spokesperson Bate wrote in an email. The herring fishery has been a contentious and divisive fishery on the coast. Several areas have been closed in recent years due to low stocks, and DFO’s plans to open the Vancouver Island
and Haida Gwaii fisheries this year were vehemently opposed by the resident Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council, the Haida, and the United Fishermen and Allied Workers’ Union. The Haida won an injunction in early March to stop the fishery in their area. The opening went ahead on Vancouver Island, but no herring were to be found. The Central Coast (Area 7), which has been closed for several years, was re-opened to a seine fishery last month and the backlash was immediate. The Heiltsuk collided on the water with commercial fishers as they netted hundreds of tones of herring in just a few hours in a short seine-net opening. The sustainability of the herring fishery has been a polarizing debate, with the DFO claiming that a “limited catch was sustainable” based on their updated
2015 science. A test fishery in mid-March led to the opening in the highly contested Area 7: an area the Heiltsuk claim to be fragile and unhealthy. They have voluntarily suspended their commercial gillnet licenses, and stated that the DFO did not inform them of the opening until after the seine boats were already in the water. Kelly Brown, who directs the Heiltsuk’s resource management department, says the industry took 680 tons out of the area with a recent seine fishery, and a gillnet fishery “would only add insult to injury.” “We must put conservation first. We have voluntarily suspended our communityowned commercial gillnet herring licenses for this season to allow stocks to rebuild, but DFO and industry are unwilling to follow suit,” said Brown.
The United Fishermen and Allied Workers’ Union backed the Heiltsuk position, advising gillnet fishers not to fish the Central Coast. “We recommended that gillnet herring fishers not fish in Area 7,” said Kim Olsen, President of the United Fishermen and Allied Workers Union. “However, it is up to each individual fisher to make their own decisions.” The way the DFO manages the herring fishery, and many others, has been called into question for its effectiveness. The department views and manages herring with a “mega-stock” approach. This allows them to resume the fishery in places where it’s depressed by running a “test fishery,” from which they get estimates of a stock in that general region and decide how many fish can be safely harvested.

Heiltsuk concerned herring will be "fished to extinction" FROM PAGE 1 But this approach is facing some tough questions. Tony Pitcher, a professor of fisheries at the University of B.C.’s Fisheries Centre, says DFO may have it wrong. Pitcher is leading a three-year research project on herring stocks on northern B.C. waters, and he has found that herring behaviour is more localized, more similar to salmon, and that the “meta-population” approach to the species is no longer accepted as fact. “It has been assumed that [herring] all mix together in what’s technically called a meta-population in which they all flow together from different spawning sites. The alternative, which we now think is probably supported by evidence, is that the latest DNA sequencing techniques suggest they do home to a particular area,” Dr. Pitcher said. First Nations have long argued that stocks are localized and need to be managed locally and herring, it turns out, return to the place they were spawned, just as salmon do. The United States does manage its herring stocks locally but DFO does not, and Dr. Pitcher is suggesting we follow suit. “Canada’s not up to date with the latest information,” he said. The herring is an oily fish that is a staple of coastal First Nations diets. It is traditionally harvested by removing herring eggs from the kelp, called the
“roe-on-kelp” method, which leaves the fish to spawn again. This practice continues today. By contrast, the commercial herring roe fishery harvests the entire fish and freezes it whole, removing the roe later. The bulk of the roe is exported to Asia. The community of Bella Bella maintains that the industrial fishery threatens their way of life. “We’re really concerned this fish will be fished to extinction,” said Heiltsuk Chief Councillor Marilyn Slett on Monday. “Our community just can’t bear that risk.” After DFO’s Regional Director, Sue Farlinger, flew into the community Monday to meet with Heiltsuk leaders “some headway” was made. Despite continued disagreement over Area 7, the two sides did reach agreements over improved stock assessments and mandatory cultural training for local DFO officers. The DFO issued a statement claiming their science forecasts showed that herring abundance would support a commercial harvest while meeting conservation objectives. The purse seine fishery that occurred on March 22 netted 690 tons of an available 800 tons, but this fishery is now closed. Gregory Thomas, chair of the Herring Industry Advisory Board, said commercial fishermen believe DFO’s stock assessments are valid. “The First Nations
… say there isn’t enough fish and that any commercial roe herring fishery will negatively impact their [native] fishery,” said Mr. Thomas. “The industry view is there’s a lot of science behind the current stock assessment and that that science has indicated there is a reasonable return of herring on the central coast – and certainly a fishable abundance.” Mr. Thomas said it is difficult to calculate the economic impact of losing a fishing opportunity on the central coast, but it’s considerable. “The gill net target is 600 tonnes and as of this morning there has been no catch. That’s a significant amount of herring,” he said. As the industry boats packed up to leave after nearly a week of waiting, the Heiltsuk celebrated their victory. “It is confirmed. All commercial gill-netters are exiting Heiltsuk waters,” wrote Heiltsuk First Nation councillor Jess Housty late last Wednesday. “They will be escorted by Heiltsuk patrol boats and we will continue to occupy DFO until they have exited our waters.” It was reported that the industry boats were headed north of Bella Bella to the community of Kitasoo, but that not much culminated from that effort. “We have been fairly active patrolling the territory,” said Douglass Neasloss, Resource Stewardship Director for the Kitasoo

HWD confirms “Shopping Portal” not generating revenue BY CAITLIN THOMPSON Citing a lack of community buy-in and negative feedback, the Hagensborg Water District is considering shelving a controversial online shopping program. In response to emailed questions from The Coast Mountain News, Hagensborg Water District’s chair Ken Dunsworth confirmed that the district’s involvement with DubLi. Inc.’s “Angel Program” has failed to attract community membership or raise any significant revenue for the district. “There have been three people from the community sign up under the shopping portal,” said Dunsworth. “The HWD has made $4.68 dollars under the Shopping Portal and Jim Smart has made $0.00 dollars.” Jim Smart is the husband of Rosemary Smart, the CAO of the HWD. Dunsworth also confirmed that, “due to the negative feedback regarding the
shopping portal, the trustees have put the project on hold and Jim Smart has recommended that the account be closed.” Jim Smart signed up the HWD for the Angel Program, and would have received commissions based on the sale of goods and DubLi memberships in the “Hagensborg Shopping Portal,” had local consumers signed on. HWD Trustee Donald Mikkelson told CMNews in December that Rosemary Smart had visited the Valley in late September 2014 to deliver a presentation on the Angel Program. Smart, who previously held the CAO position, was recently re-hired in October. The HWD sent a flyer to local residents in December inviting them to join the Angel Program. DubLi, whose offices are located in Cyprus, describes itself as a “shopping and entertainment portal.” According to its website, DubLi receives commissions for purchases members make from merchants in DubLi’s shopping
malls. The company claims it then passes this commission back to its members in the form of “Cashback.” However, in order to access more benefits and cash returns, DubLi also encourages its customers to sign up to become “Premium” and “VIP” members at an additional cost, both of which were promoted in the HWD’s flyer. The membership proposition is a red flag to Robert Fitzpatrick of North Carolina, the president of the non-profit consumer education group, Pyramid Scheme Alert. He has appeared on CBC’s Marketplace, NBC’s Dateline, and is the co-author of “False Profits: Seeking Financial and Spiritual Deliverance in MultiLevel Marketing and Pyramid Schemes.” He was contacted by CMNews in March. “Dubli is part of a large syndicate of companies known as “multi-level marketing,” [MLMs],” said Fitzpatrick. “It’s fair to say all MLMs should be considered suspect by the public for whether they are truly
market-based sales companies or whether they are marketing a false business opportunity known as the 'endless chain.' ” Fitzpatrick describes the endless chain as: a customer pays money to join (i.e. by purchasing a membership with the company) and is promised future income. However, that income is dependent on enrolling others. “The endless chain is typical of a pyramid scheme,” explains Fitzpatrick. “The legality of it is questionable but the government has done virtually nothing to enforce the laws, and treats these companies as de-facto legal. I would say that Canada is particularly weak in this area of enforcement.” “As a business venture you need to ask yourself, could you make money at this without recruiting someone else underneath you?” Fitzpatrick said. “If you can’t offer a product or service on your own and make money, then you are in an endless chain.” DubLi does offer shopping, travel
and entertainment services, but it also focuses on recruiting more people to join. For example, if a person purchases a VIP membership, which costs $99 per year, they are awarded $20 every time someone they refer also purchases a VIP membership. The company also operates DubLi Network, in which people can become “Business Associates.” Participants earn money on customer commissions, and on the number of customers sign up. A standard Business Associate package starts at $99 USD plus a VIP Membership Package for $495. A “Team Member” or “Partner Program Accelerator” designation costs up to $2,475 USD. The HWD did not promote the Business Associates option. In a series of emailed questions subsequent to those sent on March 5, CMNews asked whether the HWD did any independent research regarding the business structure of DubLi Inc. The HWD declined to comment.

In an emailed response, HWD stated it “formally withdraws all our answers to your questions that have been previously supplied, and that the board has no comments to make at this time.” The HWD has previously stated the district does not incur costs to partner with DubLi’s Angel Program, and that taxpayer dollars are not involved. “To begin to address the increasing operational costs, the trustees decided to implement a shopping portal project to earn commissions from folks both inside and outside the valley who order goods and plan their vacations via the Internet,” said Dunsworth. “It cost the district nothing to set up, and it could be an alternative to increasing the water tolls for operational costs.” But Fitzpatrick says that essentially misses the point. “The fact is that the money has to come from somewhere, and it will come from the community and flow upstream,”
he explained. “Meanwhile the affiliate is profiting – he has managed to get a government agency to do his marketing for him.” While Dunsworth acknowledged that the “approach could have been better” in regards to communication about the Angel Program, he also said he hoped it wouldn’t detract from the real issues at hand. “From all appearances, the public did not respond favorably to the program. At their March meeting, trustees will be discussing and considering whether or to cancel the shopping portal,” Dunsworth said. “The HWD Trustees don't want the shopping portal to detract from the real issue that needs to be discussed at the AGM – whether voters want to continue with the water treatment system as legislated under the Water Act or consider the replacement of our aging pipeline as the first priority under a possible changing government policy regarding water treatment.”

Anahim Lake student meets idol, Carey Price GREG SABATINO Williams Lake Tribune Staff Writer Anahim Lake resident Susan Leon has noticed a change in her foster grandson, Trent Leon. That’s after Trent, a Grade 6 student at Anahim Lake Elementary/Junior Secondary School (ALEJSS) was chosen as the school’s Breakfast Club of Canada Ambassador and was afforded the experience of a lifetime to meet his hero and idol, Montreal Canadiens all-star NHL goaltender and ALEJSS alumni, Carey Price, who is the national ambassador for the BCC. The experience, which began in January of 2015, was part of a documentary project by the Air Canada Foundation and the Breakfast Club of Canada, an association that provides warm breakfast and lunches to students across the country on a daily basis. Filming for the project, funded by the Air Canada Foundation and a part of the hit Montreal reality show, 24/7 CH, lasted roughly a month. Once in Montreal Trent, who flew first class with ALEJSS principal Mikel Brogan and the film crew, personally delivered a poster of a school art project — a wood and glass tile bench consisting of aspects of the Ulkatcho culture and incorporating Price — plus handmade cards from all the kids at the school showing their
appreciation to their hero during an on-ice session. Trent and Brogan, along with Carey’s wife, Angela, and the founder of the BCC, Daniel Germaine, later watched Price earn first star honours against the Nashville Predators. “I took Trent in when he was five,” Susan said. “He had it really rough … lots of hardships in his childhood. He kept to himself but now with everything that’s happened I think it opened his heart and eyes. “[In the short film] I could tell he was comfortable with Carey playing hockey. It made him proud to be there for the students and see what Carey’s doing for their school.” Viewers weren’t the only ones moved by the story — Carey himself was visibly touched when Trent, who says few words throughout
the project, is excited to give the hockey star a gift in return. During the film Susan encourages Trent to become more outspoken, and when he does, the expression left on Price’s face while reading the handmade cards is emotional. “While watching the game Angela mentioned how she and Carey had a long discussion about the card and the project the day before and how much it meant to him the students and staff would go through so much effort to extend their appreciation to him,” Brogan said. “When Trent left he gave Carey a big hug. I think it was nice for him to connect with Carey like that. Trent’s kind of shy, and Carey probably sees a lot of himself in Trent — he’s not a big talker, either.” The glass tile bench,
which was created by Brogan’s parents, internationally-renowned artist Marina Papais and master woodworker Daniel Collett, depicts a large sun rising over Anahim Peak symbolizing Price’s inception. Further right on the bench is a large glass star made of a reflective mirror, symbolizing Price’s success. “The idea for this was so the students could look into the star and see their own faces,” Brogan said. “It’s been a huge thing for the community out here, and it was really neat how we were able to tie in our school art project.” Susan gave a speech to staff and students following a viewing of the video at ALEJSS on Monday. “I just let the class know if Carey could do what he’s done as a goalie for Montreal they need to reach out and be like
Superstar Carey Price with Anahim Lake youngster Trent Leon Carey,” she said. “For Trent, he wants to get out and do more things, but time will tell when he’s ready. He’s started to do more sports — he’s playing floor hockey, he’s playing soccer which he enjoys. Today, I think he’s ready.” For those in Anahim Lake Brogan encourages anyone to stop by the school to view the
bench, now on permanent display at the front entrance. He also hopes more schools will see what a benefit the BCC program is and will apply. The film, produced by Tara Johns and directed by Jeremie
Levesque, along with an editor, multiple cameramen and a sound technician, can be viewed at https://youtu. be/4m3ky6Mw28k In just five days the video has reached almost 200,000 views.

“Eulachon Handbook” on hand for review by community members BY CAITLIN THOMPSON It was a lighthearted celebration on the banks of the Bella Coola last week as the community undertook a traditional ‘welcome back’ ceremony for the sputc (eulachon). Although high water levels in the river have stymied local sampling efforts, local Nuxalk scientist and eulachon researcher Megan Moody said that a few have been spotted. “It’s been hard to spot them, but we have seen a few,” she told the crowd gathered for the event. “Once river levels drop we’ll be able to get a better idea of how many are there.” The day was filled with dances and songs, offerings and the unveiling of a sign located next to the
eulachon pole that details a short history of the eulachon, the traditional song and the explanation of the pole. It has been decades since the waters of the Bella Coola have been black with eulachon and the riverbanks buzzing with preparations, fishing and people. But that loss hasn’t dampened the appetites people still have for the small fish and its coveted grease. The fish abruptly disappeared in 1999 and several factors have been identified as possible contributors for the crash. Trawling, warmer ocean temperatures and a smaller local river system are all thought to be reasons for the disappearance. Moody remains confident that recov-
ery of the eulachon stock is possible, and her tireless efforts do not go unnoticed. Her latest project, along with key community members and PhD student Rachelle Beveridge, is the production of the tentatively titled “Nuxalk Sputc Handbook.” The book will contain both historical and present information, statistics, key uses, and traditional knowledge. The handbook, which was available at the hall for community review following the ceremony, is in the editing stages and will probably be published in the next few months.

He’s recently performed at the Canada Games in Prince George, South by Southwest Festival, and is scheduled for the PanAm Games this summer. A product of passion, compulsion, and musical commitment, armed with his guitar and harmonica he has played frequent live shows in bars and venues with a level of self-possession, sadness and joy that animates his performance. There’s an aura of inevitability that surrounds the emergence of such artists, and the Festival is excited to welcome Logan Staats this summer.
