Bella Coola Valley Ridge Riders Celebrate 30th Anniversary Rodeo BY JOY MACKAY The sun shone down on the Bella Coola Valley Ridge Riders this past weekend, as the local club celebrated its 30th Annual Rodeo, on June 27th and 28th. By all appearances, this year’s rodeo attracted a record number of contestants, and drew the now familiar praise from “regulars” and newcomers alike. The festivities kicked off on Friday afternoon, with an open gymkhana, featuring cash prizes and buckles for the high point winners in each of four age-based categories. Contestants competed in five events: Keyhole, Polebending, Stake Race, Scurries, and Barrel Racing. While the weekend weather was hot and dry, contestants and
spectators took advantage of a range of cold drinks and treats from the concession stand and beer garden, before heating things up again in the open air dances hall, with live music provided by Chilcotin Dreams. Saturday night’s dance was particularly well attended, and the floor of the dance hall is now well polished! On Saturday and Sunday, rodeo action got underway in the afternoon with performances approved by the British Columbia Rodeo Association (BCRA). For the fourth year in a row, the local rodeo format featured two full one-day rodeos. Entries were so high that a “slack” had to be scheduled for both days, in order to accommodate all the contestants. In addition to the standard
events that make up the regular rodeo performances, the Valley Ridge Riders hosted a number of novelty events encouraging local participation. While the very popular Businessman’s Cow Ride had to be cancelled, due to a limited availability of cows, Wild Cow Milking, a Calf Scramble for the kids, and the most popular “event” with spectators, the Cow Patty Bingo were all enjoyed as usual. A few lucky locals went home with bigger-than-average smiles as a result of these novelty events. As this story goes to press, the Valley Ridge Riders are preparing to host both a Steer and BullA-Rama on Monday afternoon. Top cowboys will be auctioned off to the highest bidder, before taking their turn in the short go.
British Columbia Barrel Racing Association (BCBRA) races will round out Monday’s activities, along with a Jackpot Team Roping. This year’s rodeo performances featured five local contestants, each of whom put in a respectable showing, across a range of events. Veteran local barrel racer, Vickie Tuck, competed on both days, along with almost-still-locals, Dave Enderud, in the saddle bronc, and Marcus Apps, in the bull riding. Junior cowgirl Rachel Chatham took home money both days in the junior barrel racing, and Isaac Mack tied for second money in the junior steer riding on Saturday, and won the event on Sunday, with a stellar 78 point ride. Congratulations to all contestants, and in particular to the
local contestants, for your committed and entertaining representation of our community, and for showing us all that it can be done! Of course, a full weekend of excitement and entertainment requires a lot of work behind the scenes, and the VRR Rodeo is no exception. While a few of the participants are professionals who make their living in rodeo, the vast majority are volunteers, many people put the weekend together, and many more enjoy the final result. The Valley Ridge Riders would like to thank them all! Without the support of the community, and the dedication of rodeo families, it couldn’t be done. Congratulations to the Valley Ridge Riders on another successful rodeo. Long May You Run!

MLA says cuts to ferry causing “grave economic hardships” DEAR MINISTER STONE, CC: EDITOR, COAST MOUNTAIN NEWS Your decision to cut ferry services to the central coast is causing grave economic hardships in the Bella Coola Valley. There is currently no availability on the Nimpkish ferry on any sailing from now until September. While these maximum capacity bookings may sound positive, it is clearly insufficient to meet the needs of local people and the tourism operations
they depend on to make a living. Central coast residents are now challenged in leaving their own communities for medical appointments, work and visiting family until next fall. Tourists are turning away, taking their dollars with them and opting to vacation elsewhere because there is limited access into the Bella Coola Valley via the tiny Nimpkish. It is simply too expensive and not practical to be waitlisted for this route so paying customers are going elsewhere.
The removal of the Queen of Chilliwack ferry which had capacity for 115 vehicles and subsequent replacement with the Nimpkish ferry which has a capacity for only 16 vehicles (less if campers, trailers, or boats are booked) is clearly not working. Restaurants, accommodations and tourism-dependent businesses are simply not getting the numbers of customers they require to be viable and yet the demand for their services is high. Furthermore, the
Jennifer Rice, MLA North Coast Nimpkish ferry has been in refit for some time and passengers and their vehicles are currently departing
and arriving at different times in separate vessels to and from the central coast. Passengers are being transported by water taxi while their vehicles are being towed by tug and barge. A recent notice by BC ferries states this tug and barge service will now extend until June. This is hardly a tourism product to be proud of. The Bella Coola Valley and central coast communities are however a tourism product to be proud of and need assistance in showcasing
the beautiful environment, rich culture and incredibly diverse and resilient people who live here. You've stated that the impacts of instating the Nimpkish year round would be minimal. Clearly the Nimpkish is wholly inadequate and is not meeting the demands of locals, British Columbians and global tourists. I urge you to revisit this decision. I urge you to return to the central coast. This time not on a vacation but to have a meaningful con-
versation with the businesses and communities so heavily reliant on a robust ferry system. I assure you the people here are friendly and are willing to help find solutions to allow their communities to prosper and thrive. Thank you for your attention in this matter. Respectfully, Jennifer Rice, MLA North Coast Spokesperson for Northern and Rural Health Deputy Spokesperson for Children and Family Development

Nuxalk Nation brings skilled trades training to Bella Coola PRESS RELEASE The Industry Training Authority (ITA), Nuxalk Nation band, and Camosun College School of Trades and Technology have partnered to develop an innovative carpentry training program for Aboriginal People that will break down barriers to accessing trades training and build skilled labour capacity for the region. Bella Coola’s Nuxalk Nation band identified a challenge common to remote regions in BC – the difficulty in accessing skilled trades training. The community identified the need for a trades training model that would help them with both apprenticeship training as well as develop the training capacity of their existing community of Red Seal journeymen. The four-year Carpentry Apprenticeship program is designed to meet these needs. On June 8, 2015, first year apprentices cel-
ebrated their Level 1 completion with the community, and are currently on track to complete Level 2 in April 2016. The recent steps ITA, Nuxalk Nation and Camosun College have taken directly align with B.C.’s Skills for Jobs Blueprint to increase the number of Aboriginal People in the skilled trades by 15,000 over the next 10 years. B.C. is reaching a tipping point with fewer young people entering the workforce than older workers leaving it, and we are taking steps now to meet the needs of our rapidly changing labour market. It is imperative that innovative trades training programs are available within smaller communities to ensure successful outcomes for the future. “The new Aboriginal carpentry training program being developed by the ITA, Nuxalk Nation and Camosun College will help
ensure Aboriginal people have the education, training and support they need to find their fit in our diverse, strong and growing economy” Says Shirley Bond, Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and Minister Responsible for Labour. “Partnerships like this will help to increase Aboriginal participation in skills training programs, which will be critical to the success of our economy in a rapidly-changing labour market.” “This is a very exciting time for the Bella Coola region as the community is championing their own trades training development”, says Gary Herman, CEO, ITA. “Nuxalk Nation’s innovative initiative will help to increase Aboriginal participation in skills training programs, and will draw upon talent and capabilities that are vital to the success of BC’s economy. ” “Camosun College School of Trades and

Nimpkish “Connector” ferry here to stay says Transportation Minister Stone BY ERNEST HALL Direct summer sailings aboard BC Ferries between Bella Coola and Port Hardy are a thing of the past, and the summer “Connector” service transferring passengers at Bella Bella is here to stay, according to BC Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Todd Stone. Addressing a June 25 meeting sponsored by the Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce, Stone said the BC government is to sign a contract with BC Ferries “within the next couple of weeks” in which the “connector” service will continue – employing the MV Nimpkish while the ferry corporation begins work on a new vessel. (The Nimpkish is due to retire in 2018.) Stone vowed that he is “100 percent committed” to Route 10S, the summer service linking Bella Coola and Port Hardy by connecting in Bella Bella with Route 10 – the Port Hardy-Prince Rupert
route. (This service has just begun its second season, following the cancellation of Route #40 which involved direct sailings for 16 summers). Stone was adamant that a direct sailing between Port Hardy and Bella Coola will not happen. This prompted a somewhat heated exchange with Pat Corbett, President of the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association, who said the “connector” service “won’t work”, Stone said they would “have to agree to disagree” and that he is standing by his decision. Corbett noted that European tourism promoters are opposed to the “connector” which involves a much longer voyage than necessary to provide the marine link in the Discovery Coast Circle. For this reason, and because the Nimpkish is unsuitable for the sophisticated traveler, European tourism agencies are not promoting the region as a destination. In response, Stone said he is willing to
meet with representatives of the tourism industry, but charged that the industry had been asked for input before the elimination of Route #40 was made nearly two years ago, but the industry didn’t respond. (At the time the decision was made, Stone, a rookie in the BC Legislature, had been Minister for less than six months, and based his decision on recommendations from BC Ferries.) He noted that Tourism Minister Naomi Yamamoto had visited the region to discuss the Discovery Coast Ferry with representatives of the tourism industry. This involved two meetings to discuss “mitigating” the damage done months after the decision was made. On another occasion, Stone noted that he too had traveled (on the Nimpkish with his family) to Bella Coola, where he “met with folks”. In fact, he met with the staff at the lodge where he stayed and with only two other people.
INVITATION TO TENDER CONSTRUCTION OF WALKER ISLAND CONCESSION BUILDING The CCRD invites tenders from qualified individuals and firms, for the construction of a fully designed 28’ x 38’ timber frame concession/deck building located at Walker Island Park, Bella Coola, B.C. Terms and conditions include, but are not limited to: (a) supply of superintendence, trades, labour, equipment, tools, partial materials and any incidentals to complete construction of this public facility prior to November 30, 2015 (Please note that interior finishing, mechanical, electrical and plumbing are not part of this contract); (b) installation of safety fencing, signage and litter control; (c) and liaison with the CCRD project manager and the facility designer. Tender packages will be available for pick up July 2, 2015 at 626 Cliff Street, Bella Coola, B.C. or by contacting Ken McIlwain by email at pwm@ccrd-bc.ca or by phone at 250-799-5291. Lowest or any tender may not necessarily be accepted. Any individual or business indebted to the CCRD must settle all debts before submitting a tender. Tender Closing Date – Thursday, July 23, 2015, 4:00 p.m.
Since making his November 2013 decision to eliminate Route #40, Stone has repeatedly brushed off criticism and dismissed numerous studies conducted by the industry as well as the Union of BC Municipalities – all pointing to massive economic losses resulting from the predicted downturn in the tourism industry. Tourism businesses from Northern Vancouver Island, through the Bella Coola Valley, and across the Chilcotin have just entered a second season of hardship – some businesses reporting losses of as much as 85 percent. Stone told the Chamber of Commerce group that the some have “overstated the devastation,” to which Chamber Executive Director Claudia Blair responded that she is hearing such reports from many businesses, and that the RVs in the parking lot outside were bound for Alaska – not for Highway 20 and the Discovery Coast Circle. The 16-vehicle Nimpkish was deployed last summer to replace the much larger MV Queen of Chilliwack, which Stone and BC Ferries pulled out of service as a cost-cutting measure. As a result, tourists wanting to book the Circle Route this summer are no longer able to because the Nimpkish is full to capacity, so they are going elsewhere. Critics in the industry say Stone’s decision was “ill-informed, poorly timed, shortsighted, and badly managed”. In the Chamber meeting, Stone said “clearly the capacity needs to be a bit more than right now.” He said a new vessel would be a “modern one with modern amenities”, a vessel we can be “pretty proud of.” Some $200,000 was spent refurbishing the Nimpkish last year to include potable
Transportation & Infrastructure Minister Todd Stone with his family last August in Bella Coola after arriving on the MV Nimpkish. He later told the BC Legislature that he had made the trip and "met with folks" in Bella Coola after seeing grizzly bears and orcas on the family's enjoyable "staycation" Nimpkish adventure. Other documented reports suggest otherwise. To read his account, visit his blog at https:// toddgstonemla.wordpress.com/
water, complimentary food and beverages, and new bench-type seating. The three cramped washrooms are not accessible to wheelchairs. Stone again blamed his critics for the negative publicity about the unsuitability of the Nimpkish as a vessel catering to tourists, referring to the trip his family made last August. “The impression was created that the Nimpkish was not safe, not comfortable, but every person on the vessel was happy,” he said. (On another occasion, Stone erroneously reported that his family had seen “grizzly bears and orcas” on their Nimpkish voyage – an event not recorded in social media postings they made after their midnight arrival in Bella Coola.) He concluded his remarks by saying he wants to focus on the future, and that he will “continue to engage.” “There’s no unwinding what’s been done,” he added. In his defence, Stone repeated his claim that the decision was a “tough” one – admitting that sounded “trite” – noting that it
was made as part of the government’s effort to make the ferry system “sustainable.” Even so, he predicted that BC Ferries will “blow past the target” on costs this year, and the $180 million annual subsidy to the whole system might have to increase next year. When it was noted that the marine link needs to sail on a reasonable schedule that is attractive to tourists, Stone responded: “That’s the input that needs to be heard and received loud and clear from the industry moving forward.” (Critics of BC Ferries have been calling for a better, tourist-friendly schedule ever since the Discovery Coast service was instated nearly 20 years ago.) Regarding the notion of pursuing a Private Public Partnership (PPP) that would see the private sector providing the marine link, Stone said “we are very open-minded about that (PPP).” He added: “Absolutely we are pursuing that.” “There is no doubt whatsoever,” he said, “that I think the private sector sees that there’s an opportunity here.”
He said he has been in discussion with BC Ferries about this, and “we have been right in the driver’s seat in those discussions.” PPP proponents, however are looking for “even greater subsidies.” He added that the government is “exploring those options as well.” At one point in his remarks, Stone said: “I am only human,” and I’m doing the best that I can.” Responding to a request by Corbett, referring to a proposal from Bella Coola Valley Tourism and the West Chilcotin Tourism Association, Stone committed to approaching the Tourism Ministry to ask for $100,000 in “mitigation” funding to promote Bella Coola and the Chilcotin as tourist destinations. Stone described the request as “a good suggestion”. Last year, the government injected that amount into efforts to market tourism in the region, but the agency allocating the funds spent none on the Circle Route Nimpkish “Connector” because it was not deemed “export ready” by market standards. Stone reserved his remarks about the Discovery Coast Ferry until the end of his presentation in which he reviewed his recently announced 10-year transportation plan. A focus of this plan, he said, is the role of transportation and infrastructure in economic development which now has been “strategically targeted” with a focus that is more “intense than before.” Critics of the cancellation of Route #40 have argued that the tourism generated by a direct route between Bella Coola and Port Hardy is an economic development issue taking into account the immense tourism potential of the region and deserves more attention than it has received.

They remained hidden there until a team of archeologists led by Dr. Daryl Fedje and Dr. Duncan McLaren excavated an area just below the high tideline, unearthing a dozen human footprints impressed in clay. They are now believed to be the oldest footprints ever found in North America. Charcoal found with the prints has been radiocarbon dated to 13,200 years ago. Adjacent samples were dated to 2,000 years ago, and additional samples are currently being processed to hone the chronology. If the footprints can be conclusively dated to 13,200 years ago, they will be the oldest known footprints in North America, and the second oldest in the Americas after the Monte Verde site in Chile. What makes Hakai different from so many other coastal shorelines is that sea level changes have been minimal, unlike most historical coastal settlements which were drowned by the end of the last ice age. “Calvert Island has relatively stable shoreline history, which is very unusual,” explained Fedje. B.C.’s Lower Mainland and Haida Gwaii have risen and dropped by more than 150 metres, washing out many potential archeological sites, but Calvert Island is the same place it was thousands of years ago, he said. The oldest human archeological remains ever found in B.C. are from a cave in Haida Gwaii, dating to about 12,500 years ago. McLaren said he did

not expect the age of the footprints to be so ancient. “This is pushing it back 700 years,” he said. “It's quite a long period of time.” “We were very excited,” McLaren recalled. “To tell you the truth, we were a little bit surprised that we got such early dates.” Because the dig took place less than two months ago, the team hasn't yet had the chance to get radiocarbon dates for the other footprints or publish the results in a peer-reviewed journal. But McLaren said the team decided to go public with the results because it's an exciting find and journalists had been asking about it. He cautioned that more work is needed to confirm the results, as material found a few metres away was just 2,000 years old. But he says he's fairly confident the footprints are closer to 13,200 years old because those dates came from the footprint material itself. The first footprint, pressed in grey clay that was covered with other sediments, was found late last year just as work was wrapping up for the autumn season. see MORE on page 8

Footprints dated to 13,200 years old FROM PAGE 7 The results prompted the team to return to Calvert Island to do a larger dig this past May. This time, they found 12 distinct footprints belonging to a larger adult, a smaller adult and a child, and the remains of a hearth fire that the group — probably a family — had been gathered around. The hearth itself was full of charcoal and ash and ringed by rocks, including a stone tool that would have been used for chopping or cutting, McLaren said. McLaren also said the findings have broader implications on the theories of how the first peoples arrived in North America. McLaren says the find could provide key evidence about how the continent's first inhabitants migrated south. Older archeological remains have been found in both north of B.C., in Alaska, and south
of B.C. in Oregon. It wasn't clear whether people moved from Alaska to Oregon by travelling inland on foot near the Rockies or along the coast by boat. But the new discovery favours the water route. “There's no way to get to Calvert Island other than watercraft, and that applies to 13,000 years ago as it does today,” McLaren said. The team plans to do carbon dating on the new footprints to ensure they can duplicate their results. They are also dating the ash from the hearth and examining it under the microscope. The research was supported by the Hakai Institute, a research organization funded by the private, non-profit Tula Foundation. Members of the local Heiltsuk and Wuikinuxv First Nations also participated. With files from CBC News & the Hakai Institute

74 year-old man declared “vexatious litigant” - banned from B.C. courthouses Charles Bryfogle, formerly of Bella Coola, has been found guilty on eight counts of being in contempt of court and is forbidden from filing legal documents on behalf of himself or others. The 74-year-old man wrongfully acted as a lawyer and created legal documents, and has subsequently been banned from entering any courthouse in British Columbia. The B.C. Law Society wanted to see Bryfogle go to jail for 21 days, but Justice Victoria Gray handed him a threeyear suspended sentence and said he will jailed if he
breaches his probation terms. Brydogle has been declared a "vexatious litigant" in both B.C. and Arizona. The term applies to people who consistently engage in court actions that harass people or undermine the justice system. Gray called Bryfogle's conduct troubling. “Mr. Bryfogle is not a lawyer and has never been a lawyer,” she wrote in a decision released Friday. An Alberta man in the gallery stood up to blame Gray for becoming involved in his family matter. That action formed one of the contempt findings against

system year after year. . . . You let him walk — you should be ashamed.” This is the second time Bryfogle has been found in con-
tempt of court orders to remove himself from any legal proceedings or filings, whether on his own behalf or others. There are judge-
ments against Bryfogle for wrongly practicing law dating to 2006 and 2007. Those findings come under the Legal Profession Act and the Court Agent Act. His past legal misadventures included representing litigants in mercury poisoning from dental work; creating a trust document; a lawsuit involving a motor vehicle accident; and slander and defamation against his own family. At times he has been paid for his work. He breached terms of orders requiring him to inform the B.C. Law Society of any legal
action. While Gray declined to send the 74 year old to jail, Bryfogle will go to prison if he breaches the probation terms. She gave him a three-year suspended sentence. Those terms included that he not enter a courthouse unless he is charged with a crime or with written permission of a probation official. He cannot file legal documents on behalf of himself or others. He must also serve 100 hours of community service. Bryfogle currently serves as a Trustee of the Hagensborg Water District.
