First Nations launch vision plan; ferry improvements targeted BY ERNEST HALL Coastal First Nations, led by Aboriginal Tourism BC (AtBC), have launched a provincial plan to create a vision for tourism and economic development on British Columbia’s Central Coast. In a recent meeting with Tourism Minister Shirley Bond and Transportation Minister Todd Stone, a lobby group of First Nations and tourism industry representatives received commitments from government to support a “vision” for the region “specifically focussing on tourism industry opportunities.”
Their brief to the ministers, presented by Bella Bella’s Heiltsuk Tribal Council represented by Central Coast Regional District (CCRD) Chair Reg Moody and AtBC’s Keith Henry, highlighted the need for “much improved and enhanced ferry service” as part of such a vision. The group pointed to the “great strides” taken in diversifying local economies in recent years - particularly through ecotourism and aboriginal tourism – in accordance with a 2006 Land Use Plan developed collaboratively with the provincial government. Consequently, aboriginal tourism revenues increased
from $20 million provincially to $45 million between 2012 and 2014. However, according to the lobby group, this economic growth was crippled on the Central Coast with an estimated reduction of 50 percent in annual visitors since the direct ferry service between Port Hardy and Bella Coola was cut after the 2013 tourist season. The cut involved replacing direct sailings of a 115-vehicle ferry with a “connector” service requiring a transfer at Bella Bella and employing the 16-vehicle MV Nimpkish (a vessel not suited to the volume of traffic the tourism industry requires). In their brief to
the Ministers, the group argued, “We require some form of major, tourism-oriented ferry service to supply the volumes of visitors required to catalyze economic revitalization on the Central Coast.” Recognizing the value in creating a “vision” for the region, the ministers agreed to support the formation of a “working group” - to be headed by Keith Henry, AtBC CEO at the time and now CEO of ATAC (Aboriginal Tourism Association of Canada). The group will also include staff from the relevant ministries. Once appointed, this group will
work with BC Ferries and Destination BC (formerly Tourism British Columbia), proposing recommendations related to replacing the Nimpkish which is due to retire in 2017. Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett, who attended the meeting with the Ministers and who spearheaded the effort to form such a group, is pleased with the development. Addressing the Cariboo Coast Chilcotin Tourism Association (CCCTA) later, Barnett said the decision to replace the former Route #40 with the “connector” service was “devastating” and “controversial.” But, she adds, the deci-
sion to form a working group is an “opportunity to create a tourism product that showcases the Coast, Vancouver Island, and the Chilcotin.” The region served by the Discovery Coast Circle Tour is “second to none,” she said. Others involved in the meeting with the Ministers, hailed the AtBC initiative as positive. Pat Corbett, CCCTA Chair and a strong critic of the “connector” ferry service, described the vision initiative as “fundamental”, saying his group, the First Nations communities, TIABC, and the BC Hotels Association are highly supportive.

New concession building under construction at Walker Island BY KEN MCILWAIN Black Sheep Timbers’ crew are hard at work here lowering a ridge beam into place on the new concession building at Walker Island Park. Owners Kevin Matuga and Rod Krimmer, along with employees Justin Grey and Mike Severin, are assembling the timbers cut from cedar harvested at
the local landfill. Almost all of the lumber for this project has been milled locally. Funding for the project is through the Federal Gas Tax Fund and Northern Development Initiative Trust’s Community Halls and Recreation Facilities Program. CCRD staff and volunteers worked with designer Don Gesinger to arrive at a concept design that would provide
significant covered deck space around a central concession area. The goal is to have the new concession ready in time for the start of the 2016 ball season. Stay tuned for further updates.
The new building features local timbers and aims to be ready for the 2016 season Ken McIlwain photo
Tourism industry "will not stop" FROM PAGE 1 He described the decision to put a choke hold on the Discovery Coast Circle Tour as “despicable” and “unacceptable,” saying the tourism industry “will not stop” in its efforts to have ferry service restored and enhanced. Walt Judas, Chief Executive Officer of the Tourism Industry Association of BC (TIABC), told the CCCTA meeting he is aware of a Chilcotin tourism operator whose business is down 85 per cent as a result of the diminished ferry service. He described
much of the criticism related to the cut in ferry service as “stomping up and down,” saying that critics “haven’t been able to move the needle.” But now, after two seasons of diminished service, “we see some doors opening.” The new “vision” initiative is expected to call for two Central Coast ferry routes – one focussing on a direct Port Hardy-Bella Coola route involving a vessel and schedule that will appeal to tourists, similar to the one weekly sailing of the former Route #40 which saw a 71 per cent ridership. The tourism industry
views such a service necessary to satisfy the economy of scale needed to encourage investment in tourism which has great potential if the ferry service is viewed to be an essential infrastructure component for economic development. The First Nations vision initiative is on the agenda of the BC Summit of First Nations where consensus was recently achieved on a move toward collaboration with the government and coastal regional districts. The financing and composition of the new “working group” are currently under discussion.

Donation from Carey Price leaves community speechless BY GREG SABATINO Williams Lake Minor Hockey office administrator Pam Povelofskie can barely move around her office at the Cariboo Memorial Complex, and that suits her just fine. That’s after a massive shipment of hockey equipment arrived in Williams Lake this week, literally filling her office from wall to wall and floor to ceiling, courtesy of none other than Montreal Canadiens’ netminder and Anahim Lake's Carey Price. “It’s a good mess,” Povelofskie said Wednesday. “I love it.” Price and CCM — his equipment
provider — sent thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of goaltending equipment to the WLMHA, hockey sticks and gear to the Williams Lake KidSport chapter, the Boys and Girls Club of Williams Lake and District, Williams Lake Big Brothers Big Sisters and 15 more sets of gear split between the Tsilhqot’in Nation (TN), the Northern Shuswap Tribal Council (NSTC) and the Cariboo Chilcotin Tribal Council (CCTC). Povelofskie and the WLMHA were contact by Carey’s dad, Jerry Price, who set up the donations, and said it was something his son wanted to do.
Pads, blockers, gloves, chest protectors and more will be distributed among the WLMHA’s house divisions, Povelofskie said. WLMHA house co-ordinator Todd Isnardy said the gear will ease the financial burden for kids and parents, especially in the bantam and midget divisions where goaltenders are sparse. The donation will allow for players to try the position with topquality gear. “I’m very humbled Jerry and Carey and CCM still think of Williams Lake Minor Hockey,” Isnardy said. “I’ve met Jerry a couple times and I’m amazed. When I talked to him I
said you are, as a hockey dad, the reason I got on the executive. That’s what we should be emulating. Both him and his son are so gracious, and I was almost speechless after I talked to him that first time.” Meanwhile, Punky Lake Wilderness Camp Society’s adult justice co-ordinator Bruce Baptiste was tasked with selecting five youth (two girls and three boys), all strong role models, from the Tsilhqot’in Nation, to deliver the equipment to. The same was done for the NSTC and the CCTC by Shawn Holte and Bonnie Slack, respectively. “They were really excited. Christmas

Bullfrog Power and B.C.'s Kitasoo/Xai'Xais First Nation Partner on School Solar Project PRESS RELEASE Today, Bullfrog Power, Canada's leading green energy provider, is announcing a partnership with the Kitasoo/Xai'Xais First Nation to develop the Klemtu Solar Project on a school rooftop in Klemtu, located on British Columbia's Central Coast. The project is a result of the support of Bullfrog Power and major contributions by a coalition of partners including ELSE, Tides Canada Initiatives Society, Vancouver Foundation and Great Bear Initiative. "Supporting the Klemtu Solar Project is another example of how Bullfrog Power is committed to working with isolated communities who are looking to change how their
energy is produced," said Ron Seftel, CEO, Bullfrog Power. "Thanks to the thousands of bullfrogpowered individuals and businesses across Canada, Bullfrog Power has been able to support dozens of similar community renewable projects from coast to coast." The Klemtu Solar Project is a 23 kW solar installation on the roof of the Kitasoo Community School in Klemtu, British Columbia. The power generated by the project will help the community to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels like diesel and to generate clean, pollution-free electricity. "The Klemtu Solar Project is an important landmark in our goal of achieving energy
independence through a focus on environmentally sustainable forms of electricity generation," said Doug Neasloss, Chief, Kitasoo/Xai'Xais First Nation. "Alongside Bullfrog Power and our partnerships with ELSE, Tides Canada Initiatives Society, Vancouver Foundation and Great Bear Initiative, our community is taking an important step to reduce our environmental impact for decades to come." Bullfrog Power has supported over 60 community-based renewable energy projects across Canada, including recently announced projects with Montana First Nation in Alberta and Sustainability Brant Community Energy Co-op in Ontario. Bullfrog Power,
Canada's leading green energy provider, offers renewable energy solutions that enable individuals and businesses to reduce their environmental impact, support the development of green energy projects in Canada and help create a cleaner, healthier world. As a Certified B Corporation, Bullfrog Power meets higher standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. The Kitasoo/Xai'Xais community inhabits the remote village of Klemtu on Swindle Island, approximately 200 km from Port Hardy and Kitimat, BC. This town of over 300 community members has a strong ecosystem based economy, and history of clean
Enthusiastic runners in the Terry Fox Run at Acwalstca School!
Acwsalcta school celebrates Terry Fox at fifth annual run BY CARLOS EDGAR Acwsalcta school held its fifth annual Terry Fox run on October 9th . The run has been happening in schools and communities across Canada for the last 35 years. The point of the run is to celebrate the life
and achievements of Canadian hero Terry Fox and to remember family and friends who we have lost to cancer. The students raised $1367 for the Terry Fox Foundation which supports cancer research and those living with cancer. Grade 5 student Chloe George Evans
raised over $200 by herself. The schools route was 2km around Four Mile. In total, the school ran 458km. Acwsalcta also had some fun activities as well including pies in faces and head shaving! Math teacher Laura Nudge shaved half of her head and
grade 10 student Carlos Edgar shaved his whole head. “I felt cold without my hair,� said Edgar. The school would like to thank the RCMP for helping out with traffic control and encouraging students. The students of Acwsalcta look forward to doing it again next year.

As our climate continues to warm, and the west coast experiences more warm winters and dry summers, this

Homeopathy It’s not medicine DR. PAUL MARTIQUET, M edical H ealth O fficer Imagine getting sick in the late 1700s. You might simple get well again, or you might look for a physician to treat you. Treatment at that time could include bloodletting or purging; surgery might be performed, but without anesthesia or sterile technique. And you might die as a result. It was in this environment that a German physician, Samuel
Hahnemann, devised the idea of homeopathy. He founded it on a belief that ‘like cures like’, the idea that whatever caused disease could also cure it. Given the alternatives, this was a very welcome addition to treatment options. Fundamental to homeopathy is the dilution of substances: the more diluted the greater the potency. Some substances are diluted a billion or more times. As the dilution increases, the original substance may even

disappear, but homeopaths claim that even if the original substance in effect disappears, its ‘pattern’ remains in the liquid and can produce an effect. Clinical trials over the past 20 years have tested the various claims of homeopathy including its treatments for allergies, migraines, colds and diarrhea, finding no support. For example, Australia’s National Health and Research Council reviewed 176 existing studies and concluded that “there are no health conditions for which
there is reliable evidence that homeopathy is effective.” Around 1900, homeopathy was largely displaced by science-based medicine. We began to learn about germs causing disease, vaccines and the need for sterile operating conditions. So why does homeopathy persist? Some people are attracted to homeopathy because they see it as a gentler alternative to modern medicine. They also react to the ‘natural’ label often affixed to homeopathic remedies. And
because they are so extremely diluted, there are not likely to be any negative side effects from the solution. But that’s not enough to explain continued belief. One explanation advanced by nonbelievers is that any apparent success from homeopathy comes from a placebo effect. Practitioners spend a lot of time discussing their client’s health and lifestyle, aiming to treat the whole person, not just the illness. The placebo effect occurs when a belief in a remedy or in the power of a

trusted practitioner triggers an improvement in symptoms and health, even if the treatment is a dummy pill or sham procedure. Given that most homeopathic remedies contain little if any actual ingredients beyond water and sometimes sugar, it is unlikely that any direct harm could come from taking them. Unfortunately, choosing a homeopathic solution can mean a delay in the use of proper diagnosis and truly effective medical treatment. According to everything we know about biol-
ogy, chemistry and physics, homeopathy is highly implausible and should not work. When we properly evaluate homeopathic remedies we find that they indeed, do not work. Today, homeopathy is a billiondollar business, but it is no more effective than it was two centuries ago. Dr. Paul Martiquet is the Medical Health Officer for Rural Vancouver Coastal Health including Powell River, the Sunshine Coast, Sea-to-Sky, Bella Bella and Bella Coola.
