Legendary rocker Derek Miller was a huge hit with the crowd on Saturday night

Music Festival celebrates community, showcases local talent under sunny skies The fourteenth annual Bella Coola Music Festival was blessed with perfect weather, fabulous musical performances, and a wonderful array of attendees and artists. It all added up to one of the most successful Festival’s ever, and the community thoroughly enjoyed it all.

The weekend kicked off Saturday morning with performances by Helen Austin

and her delightful family.

Austin, an acclaimed singer/ songwriter originally from the UK, performed with her daughter, Daisy, 15, and her son, Charlie, 11. “I never thought I would be so lucky to perform with my kids,” said Austin. “It’s my dream come true!”

Later in the afternoon local rockers Ak’eh took to the stage and, to the delight

of the crowd, performed all original tunes. The attendees were also treated to the baritone-esque crooning of master storyteller Scott Cook and the sweet melodies of fabulous string quartet, the Fretless.

One of the most anticipated acts of the Festival included our very own local youth. Roland (Rollah) Mack, Elaina Pootlass, and Qla

Hood were paired with the talented Anishinaabe singer/ songwriter Leonard Sumner.

Sumner, who has family ties to Bella Coola, spent two days mentoring the three performers prior to the Festival.

“It was a great experience to be in Bella Coola, and an honour to work with these talented youth,” said Sumner onstage. Mack and Pootlass performed two songs togeth-

er, with Sumner and Hood joining them for the final debut. It was an excellent performance that captivated the crowd.

As the evening progressed The Steadies took to the stage and got everyone dancing with their infectious energy. A real crowd favourite, The Steadies are the SEE FESTIVAL ON PAGE 3

creation of front man Earl Pereira, who was a part of the award-winning group Wide Mouth Mason. Pereira, who performed at the Festival with his former band, was thrilled to be back and had a great reception from the crowd.

Following The Steadies were the big-band sounds of Latin sensation Locarno. Fronted by Mexican-Canadian singer Tom Landa, Locarno combines the best of traditional Mexican folk with a ‘groove-heavy mix of Cuban Son and Latin Soul.’ Not only did Locarno enjoy performing in Bella Coola, but they were also treated with a trip to the petroglyphs by Nuxalkmc Lance Nelson, which left them in awe.

“Lance took us to the petroglyphs where he performed some traditional songs and told us Nuxalk stories,” said Landa. “It was an absolutely amazing experience. We are feeling very blessed.”

Wrapping up the Festival’s first

day was legendary Six Nations rocker Derek Miller, and he did not disappoint. A huge crowd was on hand for the show, and Miller pulled out all the stops for his fans, performing classics such as ‘Devil Come Down Sunday,’ and ‘NDN Car.’ Besides his genius guitar skills, it was impossible not to sense Miller’s charisma and highenergy: he simply radiates rock star quality. Playing for almost two hours, the crowd wasn’t ready to quit and Miller obliged with an encore performance that didn’t wrap up until after midnight.

Sunday was a day for the kids and the Children’s Site was busy all day long with a climbing wall, crafts, dancing, musical performances by Helen Austin, and the ever-present Bounce House.

Most of the performers were back for the day and a unique teaming up of Leonard Sumner and Derek Miller got everyone’s attention. Besides the fun banter between the

Master storyteller Scott Cook

two, these musicians tackled some pressing issues with their songs and captivated the audience.

Local Anahim Lake cowgirl Allison Altherr was on hand for her first Festival and had a great experience. “What a great Festival, we enjoyed playing for such a nice audience,” she said.

Sunday evening progressed into the final act of the Festival: Daniel Wesley. Known for his distinctive sound that blends rock, ska, reggae and west coast style, Wesley had always wanted to see Bella Coola and was taken with the beauty and relaxed Festival vibe. Performing some of his most requested songs such as ‘Ohh Ohh’ and ‘Pilgrimage,’ Wesley rocked the stage until well after midnight and kept the crowd dancing right to the end.

The finale of the night was a funny and heartwarming ‘Bella Coola style’ rendition of Bobby McFerrin’s 1990s classic ‘Don’t Worry, Be Happy.’

Forty-plus talented musicians gathered on stage to close the show, bringing their own style and lyrics to this iconic song.

As with any event in Bella Coola, it wouldn’t have been possible without the volunteers. They put in hundreds of hours to ensure this Festival went smoothly and successfully, and all of the artists were so impressed to learn that this professional event is run almost entirely by volunteers! A special mention should also go to the cooks this year; the musicians were so taken with the food that most would return simply for the cooking!

Thanks to everyone for making it a success – see you in 2014!

Coast Mountain News Thursday, August 1, 2013

‘Stop of Interest’ a first for the Bella Coola Valley Work began in midJuly on a first for the Bella Coola Valley: A Highway 20 pullout for a “Stop of Interest” being installed at the initiative of Bella Coola Valley Tourism (BCVT).

The pullout, on the south side of the highway along Rick Ratcliff’s hayfield just east of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, is one of three Stops of Interest planned to provide information about the Valley to tourists who might not otherwise know how interesting the Valley really is.

While a lot of information about the Valley’s origins, ecology, and history is available in books and various guides such as BCVT’s Visitor Guide, there is very little roadside information available.

For instance, directly south of the new pullout is a perfect example of a glacial “hanging valley”, but a visitor might not appreciate the fact that during the last Ice Age, the place where he or she

is standing was under ice 2,000 meters thick.

Neither would the visitor know that the Ratcliff Farm (and the Harestad farm directly to the north) is the oldest operating farm in the Valley – dating back to the time before the Norwegian settlement of Hagensborg. In fact, some of the oldest farm structures in the Valley are still standing on the Harestad farm.

The new pullout will also provide an excellent view of the charred remains of the wildfire that swept around the base of Noohalk Mountain in 2009, forcing the evacuation of area residents and threatening to leap the Snootli valley and tear into Hagensborg.

The destruction of the thick blanket of moss and other ground cover has resulted in significant hydrological changes to the slope, altering the drainage and making the slope less stable.

Also highly visible at the new pullout are four mountains

Leon Barnett, Realtor 250-982-2704

including Mt. Fougner to the west, known to many Bella Coola residents as “the mountain where Raven drove his paddle” – an interesting account of the Valley’s origins and first settlement by the ancestors of today’s Nuxalk Nation.

The BCVT project involves installing a set of interpretive signs along the pullout where tourists can read about these various aspects of the area, and those with a smart phone can scan a QR scan code on the sign to link to the BCVT website.

Of course, the Snooka area is not the only point of interest in the Valley.

Hagensborg has its rich Norwegian heritage and was headquarters to the corporate logging industry - the backbone of the area economy throughout the 20th Century.

The former Crown/ Interfor lot adjacent to the Norwegian Heritage House is the location of a second Stop of Interest being developed. Here,

Interior Roads flagman Ron Sturrock stops traffic as driver Dean Emslie dumps the last of the fill along Highway 20 adjacent to Rick Ratcliff’s hayfield just east of the SeventhDay Adventist Church. signs depicting the Norwegian settlement and the logging industry will be erected as well as one depicting the origins of Mt. Nusatsum and Saloompt Peak, both prominent to the east.

The BCVT Stop of Interest project also includes plans for a third pullout location near the Bella Coola Townsite, where visitors will be able to read about the Valley’s First Nation heritage, both before and after European contact, as well as early European settlement and tales of early trekkers into the Valley: Alexander Mackenzie, of course, as well as Ralph

Edwards of Lonesome Lake, and Cliff Kopas, who rode horseback into the Valley from Calgary with his new bride in 1933.

BCVT is pleased with the positive responses the Stops of Interest initiative is receiving – from area residents to highways ministry officials and others.

Of particular note is the donation of the pullout construction by the local division of Interior Roads. In addition, the Nuxalk Nation Development Corporation and the Bella Coola Community Forest have provided at no charge the cedar posts

which will support the signs, which are being professionally produced of durable weather-proof “alumicore” construction used for most recently-installed highway signs.

Central Coast Regional District spokesperson Darla Blake describes the project as “wonderful”.

She predicts the outcome of the project “will surely capture the attention of tourists travelling through the Valley, encouraging them to consider taking a little more time to stop, see, and experience some of the most interesting aspects of the Bella

Coola Valley.”

She says interpretive signs at Stops of Interest will “help share knowledge and add interest to the tourist’s experience of the Valley, adding value and real benefit toward the continuing development of tourism in the Bella Coola region.”

Blake offers the “full support” of the CCRD Board, saying the Board “applauds the efforts of BCVT to change the tourists’ perceptions of the Bella Coola Valley,” turning it into a destination rather than a place they drive through on their “Circle Tour”.

Fisherman survives as boat catches fire, explodes in North Bentinck Bill Rosiek is happy to be alive after his boat caught fire and exploded in North Bentinck just over two weeks ago.

Rosiek, a longtime fisherman in the area from Maple Ridge, was alone aboard his boat, the ‘Pacific Avenger,’ about six kilometers west of the Bella Coola wharf when he smelt smoke at about 5am on the morning of July 15.

Realizing he had a fire in the engine room, Rosiek attempted to put on the flames by emptying two fire extinguishers on to the blaze.

Unfortunately, this did nothing to quell the fire and it began to spread.

Rosiek went on deck where he was assisted

by Jim and Linda McVeigh on the Silver Mate.

Risking their own safety, the McVeigh’s pulled up next to the Pacific Avenger and got Rosiek

safely aboard their vessel. Minutes later the propane tank caught fire and exploded, demolishing the boat and sinking it. As fellow fisherman Brian Lande explained, “It sunk so fast it never even left a slick. Everything blew up before she went down.”

Lande, who has fished in the area for over 50 years, lamented the poor communication system that fisherman have to put up with while fishing in the inlets, but commended the work of Kim Olsen, who coordinated the rescue.

“Kim did an excellent job,” said Lande.

“However, we still face major challenges with communications for marine operations in the inlets. It’s not a good situation.”

As for Rosiek, he lost everything but is ‘still laughing’ according to Lande.

Three teen girls arrested after devastating Bella Bella fire MIKE HAGER, VANCOUVER SUN Members of the remote community of Bella Bella on the central coast of B.C. were crestfallen after the arrest of three teenage girls just hours after a suspicious early-morning fire destroyed its main community building, which houses the only grocery store, library and post office.

“We’re a tight-knit community and I do know that they have talked to others in the community and have apologized,” said Marilyn Slett, chief councillor for the Heiltsuk First Nation, which owns the

building. “From what I understood from discussions earlier today, they didn’t set out to do that (start the fire), but things got out of hand, I guess.

“We’re really working hard to get through it as a community and seeing how we can get through it in a positive way.”

On Monday, RCMP announced the arrests of the local girls, aged 13, 15 and 16, in connection to Friday’s devastating fire that has suspended youth summer camps run out of the library and made it difficult for the roughly 2,000 residents to get everyday necessi-

ties. Mounties and fire investigators will now forward their findings to Crown, who will review the case and determine whether charges against the girls are warranted.

No one was injured in the fire that started some time around 3 a.m. and destroyed the 35-year-old building, which also houses the town’s only liquor store. The band is now dealing with its insurance company to see what is covered, Slett said.

“Right now we’re just trying to get through the process of getting supplies out to the community, to the people that need it,” Slett said.

In the meantime,

groceries are being delivered via ferry and the band is seeking donations for immediate assistance to those most in need via the website RebuildBellaBella. tumblr.com.

Canada Post is trying to set up an alternate place to deliver mail and the band is working to get donations of books delivered, Slett added.

Bella Bella is on Campbell Island on Lama Passage in the Great Bear Rainforest. It has no road access to the mainland. Described as the Gateway to the Rainforest, the community has a BC Ferries terminal and an airport with

regular flights to Port Hardy on Vancouver Island and YVR’s south terminal.

The fire will have an economic impact on the commu-

nity because of the 30 to 50 people who worked in the businesses and organizations in the building, Slett said. “We’re trying to set up plans

for our staff,” she said.

“It employs a lot of people in our community. We have to look at people who were supporting their families.”

sugar is linked with weight loss, and eating more is linked with weight gain. A new review of published studies (New Zealand) lends support to the idea that advising people to limit the sugar in their diets may help lessen excess weight and obesity.

In the 1970s we became concerned that fat was causing heart disease other chronic health problems. The solution, of course, was to introduce low-fat products in all food categories. Of course, no

one asked if it was a good idea to replace fat with sugar as was happening. Now to find something to replace all that sugar.

Dr. Paul Martiquet is the Medical Health Officer for Bella Coola.

Sugar and the obesity problem

Dr. Paul Martiquet Obesity is a very serious and ongoing health issue but while we concern ourselves with the fact of obesity, we sometimes overlook the history of the problem. A BBC report from the United Kingdom identifies the 1960s as the turning point for what has become an epidemic. Its measure is reflected in

the fact that today, British people are on average nearly 19 kg heavier than 50 years ago.

During two world wars and a depression, food shortages led to reduced consumption because of food shortages. By the 1960s that was a problem of the past and obesity began to rise. Initially this was limited to rich countries, but it had soon spread to middleincome countries as well.

The blame, according to the BBC report, is the increase in the amounts of sugar we ingest.

And in particular, the amount of highfructose corn syrup (HFCS).

This product is a very sweet by-product of waste corn, and in the 1970s, it was incredibly cheap. This led to substituting HFCS for traditional sugars as a sweetener in processed foods. In turn, this led to a massive increase in the quantities of cheaper food showing up in supermarkets. The result was bigger portions and more ‘sugar’ in more places. The sweetener found its way into pizzas, meat, bread, cakes and more. By the mid-80s, corn syrup had replaced sugar in fizzy soft drinks. And consumption kept rising.

Why the concern over one type

of sweetener over another? After all, what’s the difference between them?

Sucrose is the sugar we know as basic table sugar — it contains both glucose and fructose.

The first of these, glucose is found in fruits in small amounts. Glucose syrup is made from corn starch. The other component, fructose, is the main sugar occurring naturally in all fruits. It also occurs in highfructose corn syrup.

Fructose is easily converted to fat in the body. It acts to suppress the action of a vital hormone called leptin which is the mechanism that tells your brain

that you have had enough, that you don’t really need that second sugary drink or pastry. When the liver is overloaded with sugars, leptin simply stops working… and you have that second serving.

Too much sugar; the wrong kind of sugar; too many choices. All of these contribute to obesity, but the fundamental problem remains that when one consumes too many calories to balance out with exercise, the result is weight gain. Of course, eating less

Members of Unist’ot’en Clan arrive in Bella Coola, ask for Nuxalk support

By Jason Slade Freda Huson of the Unist'ot'en Clan and Toghestiy of Likhts'amisyu Clan of the Wet'suwet'en and their children arrived in Bella Coola this Tuesday from their home on the Morice River, tributary of the mighty Skeena River.

They feel there are dangerous activities stirring in the North, and they invoked a plea for support.

The Unist'ot'en took great risks in travelling so far from their home, but they feel that to stand alone to face what is coming would be to make martyrs of themselves.

Two meetings were held at the House of Smayusta this past week, and the Unist'ot'en were able to share their story.

Seven natural gas (removed by the dangerous process of fracking) and bitumen pipelines are slated

The Unist'ot'en have established blockades on their traditional territory, which is the subject of seven natural gas pipeline developments to cross the lands of the Unist'ot'en clan of the Wetsuweten.

They face also the spectre of new copper and gold mines in the headwaters of the Morice River.

Four years ago the elders of the Unist'tot'en met and agreed that their lands would be forever preserved to feed their

grandchildren and the generations to follow, and that they would be protected not by the cynical strokes of lawyers pens, but by the reoccupation of the land.

The first cabin built on the traditional territory was burned to the ground under suspicious circumstances. The

Unist'ot'en regrouped and established a blockade against industrial activity.

They built and moved into a second cabin and have since kept close watch on the one bridge leading onto Unist'ot'en lands.

Traplines have been re-established, trails reopened, berrying grounds redis-

Public Works and Emergency Management Coordinator Central Coast Regional District, Bella Coola, BC The CCRD is seeking a dynamic, enthusiastic person to join our team of committed staff as Public Works and Emergency Management Coordinator. This regular full time, hands-on management position, reports directly to the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO).

The role spans all aspects of public works and emergency management activities including establishing/reviewing longrange plans, creating cost estimates, preparing and monitoring budget expenditure, formulating and implementing work programs, contract and project management, procedures and policies, preparing and maintaining records, statistics, reports and correspondence.

Some examples of key areas of work to be undertaken include “next steps planning” for solid waste management and recycling operations; flood mitigation issues; situational analysis and needs assessment of aging infrastructure; managing an efficient water distribution system.

Your abilities as an effective communicator with a proven track record in developing strong relationships, providing sound professional advice to multi-disciplinary groups, including elected officials, committees, response agencies, volunteers and the public, often in high pressure situations, will be critical.

This challenging position, filled with variety, requires an individual with a can-do attitude and energy, who enjoys seeking continual improvement in the delivery of local government services.

To qualify you will have a Diploma or Degree Civil Engineering (preference), and/or Post-secondary education (certification) in emergency planning programs and procedures, project management, and contract management. Level 1 First Aid (optional); a valid BC Driver’s Licence and at least 3 years’ experience in Public Works and/or Emergency Management fields, required.

A competitive salary and benefit package is being offered based on a 35hr work week pursuant to current policy.

Qualified applicants are invited to apply in confidence no later than 4:00 p.m. on Friday 16 August 2013, with a covering letter, detailed resume and three (3) references to:

Darla Blake, Chief Administrative Officer Central Coast Regional District P O Box 186, Bella Coola, BC V0T 1C0 email: cao@ccrd-bc.ca Fax: 250-799-5750 For the complete job description and more information about the CCRD, visit our website link: http://www.ccrd-bc.ca/news/article/300/Public-Works-and-Emergency-Management-Coordinator/ We thank all candidates for their interest; however only those selected for an interview will be contacted.

covered. Moose, deer, and salmon are once again being harvested regularly. A traditional pit house is under construction, dead in the middle of the surveyed route of Apache, PTP, and Enbridge pipelines, and a vegetable garden holds its ground.

Trusted allies now watch over the territory while the family brings word to neighboring communities.

Two years ago in the dead of winter, Freda and Toghestiy and their family moved the truck that sits blocking the bridge into Unist'ot'en territory and travelled by snowmobile to Moricetown to attend a funeral and mourn the loss of a family member.

While they were gone, drilling rigs and crews from Pacific Trails Pipelines flew in by helicopter and began their work. A sympathetic driller contacted Freda to warn her of the trespass, and the family raced back out to the territory to evict them.

Members of the camp have reported that twice since then crews from the pipeline companies have slunk past the barricades without consent, only to be evicted before completing their work.

Roads have been built and a site has already been cleared for an LNG export facility in Kitimat.

The pipeline project has environmental approval from the provincial and federal governments, and Toghestiy says that the families at the blockade have received word that industry and government will act soon to crush the resistance to these projects.

“We travelled here to the coast to build alliances with others who will be affected by these industrial megaprojects. If frackgas pipelines are allowed to pass, the infrastructure will be in place to lay pipe for Enbridge,” said Toghestiy. “By defending our lands against bitumen and frackgas pipelines, we are

Members of the Unist'ot'en perform traditional dances on their land. also defending the lands of communities upstream in the fracking fields of the Peace region and in the tar-sands of Alberta.

Downstream of these projects are all the people who depend on healthy waters and healthy salmon runs.

The stand we are taking is protecting your community as well as ours, so let us stand together.”

The Unistoten asked people in this community to stand up in solidarity with those resisting industrial expansion in a planned day of action on August 14. “This doesn't necessarily mean holding signs and picketing government offices. It might mean taking meaningful direct action against the corporations threatening your land, your food and water supplies, and the health of your loved ones,” said Toghestiy. “It might mean re-occupying lands. Government is serving corporations at the expense of the people, and its time we recognized that industrial expansion and the theft of local resources for sale on the world market won't stop unless we stop it ourselves.”

The response from the hereditary chiefs and members of the Nuxalk nation was strong. “Once they said the earth was flat,” said Harry Schooner. “They're cutting all the trees down and pulling down the mountains.

They are flattening it. Maybe they want to push us right off the edge!” Rhonda Schooner expressed

concern for the salmon runs in the Bella Coola if tankers were to begin plying local waters, and Nuxalk chief Noel Pootlass added that he'd heard that it is difficult to make sluq' out of hot dogs.

Wally Webber, elected Nuxalk chief counsel, expressed his frustration with the ability of the band council system to protect lands and community given its dependence on government, but was glad to be able to contribute to the Unist'ot'en cause.

Hereditary chiefs discussed sending a local delegation to the site of the blockade in the coming year and possibly next year for the annual Unist'ot'en Action Camp in early July, which brings together grassroots activists from all over North America for workshops and discussions on strategy and tactics.

Freda Huson, spokesperson for the Unist'ot'en, had parting words for the people of Bella Coola. “These corporations feast and feast on resources that don't belong to them, destroy our land and our communities and then they're gone and we fight over the table crumbs that they leave us. Its important to remember that they are always hungry and if we don’t stop them now they will come here to your valley when they're done with ours,” she said.

“We have to build alliances now so we can call upon each other for support when the time comes.”
