Tourism Minister Naomi Yamamoto met with local tourism and business representatives on a recent visit to the Valley at the end of april

Cooperation and determination set the tone for ferry talk with Tourism Minister By eRNesT hall Co-operation and determination set the tone for a recent meeting in Bella Coola with BC Tourism and Small Business Minister Naomi Yamamoto. Following more than five months of frustrating effort calling on the BC government to reverse its decision to cancel BC Ferries Route 40, which has provided direct summer ferry service between Bella Coola and Port Hardy since 1996, Ms. Yamamoto’s visit was the first by a government minister to the area most drastically affected by last November’s cancellation. Her visit to Bella Coola, at the invitation of Bella Coola Valley Tourism, followed a similar visit to Williams Lake three weeks before. A delegation of 10 local individuals representing various sectors of the community met the Minister in a lively discussion during which all acknowledged that the deci-

sion to replace the direct sailings with an indirect, more complicated schedule is firmly in place for the 2014 tourist season. The delegation strongly criticized the decision to replace the 115-car Queen of Chilliwack with the 16-car Nimpkish, a decision made without an adequate socioeconomic study of its effects. The delegation comprised of John Morton, who facilitated the meeting, Doug Baker (Bella Coola Valley Tourism), Darla Blake (Central Coast Regional District), Ernest Hall (BCVT), Randy Hart (Nuxalk Development Corporation), Fraser Koroluk, (accommodator/tour operator) Chris Nelson (Nuxalk Nation and Aboriginal Tourism liaison), Kathy Nylen (former accommodator and BC Ferries Advisory Committee representative), Markus Schieck (travel agent and BC Ferries agent), and Beat Steiner (accommodator/tour operator). Under persistent question-

ing from the group regarding the lack of an impact study prior to the decision, Ms. Yamamoto recognized the value of conducting such a study if it pointed toward future directions and the development of an economic plan for the Central Coast region. She said her ministry would work with the Central Coast Regional District (CCRD) in helping to identify resources available for conducting such a study and for developing an economic plan for the region. She indicated she is unaware of an overall plan for the Central Coast. She said much of the concern expressed about the lack of an economic plan should be directed to the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training, and she offered to assist in efforts to raise these concerns with that Ministry headed by Prince George MLA Shirley Bond. Ms. Yamamoto, accompanied by Peter Harrison of

Destination BC (formerly BC Tourism), said her department is forming a “working group” at the Director level of her ministry involving representation from the ministries of Tourism and Transportation as well as BC Ferries, Destination BC, and from the tourism industry. This group is to look at ways the damages caused by the Route 40 cancellation can be mitigated. She said she has had difficulty identifying a BC Ferries representative because BC Ferries wants “a change of tone” in order to engage in the process. (BC Ferries and the government have come under heavy criticism from ferry-dependent communities all along the coast for the decision to slash services and increase fares.) Meanwhile, at the direction of the Transportation Ministry, Destination BC has provided $100,000 to assist in marketing efforts to promote tourism in the region in view of the confusion and cancellations

of tourist bookings caused by the cuts. These funds are to be administered through Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association (CCCTA), one of six regional bodies in the province. Peter Harrison, Partnership Marketing Director for Destination BC, told the group that this region “is top of mind” in his department. Members of the delegation questioned whether such funds devoted to marketing would be of any real value following the many cancellations of 2014 tourist bookings in the region stretching from Northern Vancouver Island to the Cariboo. The delegation was adamant in its position that mitigation of damages and compensation for business losses are not the solution to the problem. As one delegate put it: “We don’t want handouts: We want to be part of the solution”. SEE WORKING ON PAGE

Yamamoto committed to forming 'working group' to address concerns FROM PAGE 1 Ms. Yamamoto welcomed the group’s offer to work cooperatively with her ministry in order to develop strategies to benefit regional tourism and small business. She suggested the possibility of involving private enterprise and First Nations in developing the tourism industry with suitable transportation mechanisms to get tourists into the region. She also recommended efforts to extend the tourist season beyond the 13 weeks served by Route 40 sailings in the past. In concluding the meeting, delegates assured the Minister of their interest in cooperating, one noting, “we are not going away”. In further dis-

cussions following the meeting, Ms. Yamamoto indicated that funding in addition to that offered for additional tourism marketing might be available for particular mitigation efforts. For example BC Ferries could be prevailed upon to install lighted shelters at the ferry terminals in Bella Bella and Bella Coola. After the meeting, Ms. Yamamoto and her party car-pooled with local delegates to the wharf and were able to board the MV Nimpkish now in the early stages of being refitted to make the vessel more comfortable for tourists booking travel for the 2014 season. For instance, softer seating is being

installed, and vending machines will provide complimentary beverages and light refreshments for the nine-hour trip to or from Bella Bella. Ms. Yamamoto expressed some concern that the vessel’s upstairs washrooms and lounge are not accessible for wheelchairs and others with difficulty climbing stairs. On her first visit to the region, Ms. Yamamoto’s party then drove to Anahim Lake for a meeting with Chilcotin tourism industry representatives and returned the following day to Bella Coola. She was particularly impressed by the Hill and hopes to return on a fishing vacation this summer.

The Minister expressed some concern about the limitations of the Nimpkish

Bella Coola Detachment welcomes new constable Constable Edward Wells is the newest member of the Bella Coola RCMP Detachment. With a previous posting in Prince Rupert, Cst. Wells is happy with the move to Bella Coola, saying “It doesn’t rain as much here.” Wells spent four years working in Prince Rupert, dividing his time between Prince Rupert City and Prince Rupert Coastal. While working for Prince Rupert Coastal, Wells spent his time in isolated First Nations reserves, working shifts of eight days in and six days at home. In his new role, Wells is in charge of the Aboriginal Police Section. “We make sure that the lines of communication between the Nuxalk Nation and the RCMP remain open,” Wells explained. “And we want to maintain the trust that has been developed.” While in Prince Rupert, Wells worked regularly with prolific offenders and youth intervention. “Working with youth is really about becoming part of the community,” he said. “Sometimes it’s finding the appropriate resources for youth,

and sometimes it’s just being there to listen.” Wells also participated in many youth versus RCMP basketball games in First Nations communities, and the outcome wasn’t in his favour. “They beat us every time,” he said. Constable Wells is enjoying his new home with his wife and family. If you see him around, don’t hesitate to say hello.

Ken Corbould remembered as a 'real friend' Dear Editor, The many memories of Ken Corbould and how the Corbould family changed my life are unbelievable. In 1986, 28 years ago, Ken took me way,

way back into the Rainbows. Twenty-two years later my thoughts of those eight to ten day sojourns where there were no trails, only wonders and beauty, will never be

forgotten, especially as a flat lander growing up in Illinois and Oklahoma. If you were going into the mountains you would want Ken Corbould as your guide. Ken taught me

enough to be able to go five times by myself. Our camps and campfires were always special after a long days hike. Ken was a good cook. To top it off, Ken

built me a beautiful cabin in Stuie. Plus all those floats down the Atnarko and Bella Coola Rivers. In Stuart, Florida, where I live, Ken spent many winters helping me build a

barn at my ranch, plus repairing a hurricane damaged house. I’ll never forget, on a September evening years ago, with only the two of us sitting around the campfire back in the Rainbow’s,

Ken said, “I guess now you and I are friends.” Needless to say, Kenny was a real friend. Sincerely, Don White Stuart, FL

Just over a year ago Ashley Brown and Nelson Siwallace lost their first-born son, Kyson Bryan Levi Siwallace. Born with a rare disorder, Kyson passed away at 27 months. Driven by the desire to help other families facing similar struggles, Ashley and Nelson organized a fundraiser in their son’s memory. Thanks to donations from local businesses and community members, it raised over $4000. “The hospital was really touched by this, and we very much appreciated this

gesture,” said Suezie Koury, Director of Care. “It’s really amazing how this family, and community, has raised such a substantial amount of money for other kids with special needs.” The fundraiser brought to the forefront the challenges of caring for special needs children, especially when living in a remote location. Families often have to travel repeatedly for medical and the strain can be enormous. More local resources can be a huge relief for those struggling with the day-to-day requirements of special

needs children. The hospital purchased several items with the money, with the most substantial item just being delivered last month: a brand new ‘Stryker’ crib. Built with multiple special features, the crib allows caregivers easier access to babies when they are in care. With a price tag of over $10,000, the donations were a huge help in the purchase. “This crib is a huge improvement over the last one,” said Koury. “It allows caregivers multiple ways to access the baby if they

are sleeping without much disturbance. It’s an amazing piece of technology.” The hospital also purchased two special vein illuminators, a much-needed item when it comes to treating infants and small children. “This device shines a light on the vein itself, helping to make it easier for technicians to see, and results in less poking and prodding,” said Koury. “It’s really helpful to both patients and technicians.” Kyson is being honoured with a photo in his memory, which will be hung in the hospital corridor.

SAMS Grade 11s and 12s complete University Tour and Science Trip By JeReMy Baille After months of bottle drives, cookie dough sales, and bake sales, the Grade 11s and some of the Grade 12s departed Saturday, April 12th for a weeklong trip to Vancouver and Victoria. On the agenda for the first day was a visit to Science World in the morning and a tour of the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) in the afternoon. At BCIT students were given a guided tour of the campus by two students and saw both the trades and business program facilities. Day Two saw the students practice their skills on Skytrain and public transit. Melissa Brooks and Elijah Mecham bravely used Skytrain to find Douglas College and after a few hiccups due to rush hour everyone else managed to arrive at the University of BC (UBC). Again, the students received an

excellent tour by two 4th year students who showed them things such as the UBC gym, dorms, and many of the programs UBC offers. After walking around the expansive UBC campus, the afternoon was somewhat slower paced as the students visited the UBC Museum of Anthropology. There the group met up with local Clyde Tallio, who is doing much of his research on Nuxalk Culture. Clyde helped tour the students around showing them the many Nuxalk artifacts in the museum’s collection. Wednesday saw everyone up early to make the trip from downtown Vancouver to the ferry terminal for the ride over to Victoria. After checking in at the hotel, lunch was an adventure with everyone trying Pho (Vietnamese Noodle Dish). Everyone then walked over to the BC Legislature for a tour. Later many of the students checked out

the Bay Center Mall in search of grad dresses and shoes! Thursday was the last full day in Victoria and students this time visited the University of Victoria where they were given an extensive tour of the UVIC Longhouse and the Elder-in-Residence Program and while there ran into two very excited professors. The first, a very entertaining British woman, entertained the students by showing off the world’s largest microscope (floor to ceiling!). The second, ironically, the group learned was the nephew to Bella Coola local, Gideon Schuetze (small world!) After the UVIC tour everyone raced off to Camosun College in the afternoon where the highlight of the tour wwas seeing the Pacific Institute for Sport. Before heading back to Vancouver for the night, students took in the Royal BC Museum prior to boarding the ferry.

SAMS students enjoyed their recent trip to several BC universities Mr. Baillie was very proud that of the three vehicles he got off the ferry and to the hotel the quickest (but then he was relying on his GPS!). Ethiopian food was on the agenda for dinner and appeared to be a hit especially with Jordan Hall who helped polish off

three plates of it! The trip was fun but by the time Saturday rolled around everyone was ready for the long trek home and looking forward to a few days of rest over the remaining days of the Easter long weekend. The students who took part in the

trip were: Carrigan Tallio, Melissa Brooks, Kasey Karran, Ashley Moore, Kelly Harrison, Dylan Tuck, Elijah Mecham, David Brooks, Jordan Hall, and Jacob Gascoyne. The trip would not have been possible without the hard work of many people: Mr. Thoms for organizing

all the fundraisers, booking the activities of the trip and for driving, Mr. Baillie and Crystal Tallio also for driving and helping chaperone the trip. Thank you also to the many community members who donated to the fundraisers that made this trip possible!

Local marine planning needs public input By alisoN sayeRs Marine planning is happening in the Central Coast, and there is an opportunity for you to discuss any questions and specific feedback you might have on the draft Central Coast Marine Plan. The Marine Planning Partnership (MaPP) will be holding a public review period (anticipated to start in mid May), which will include public open houses in Bella Coola and Shearwater. Information on the open houses will be advertised in the Coast Mountain News, and will also be made available through the MaPP website, once dates are established. The Central Coast Regional District is directly involved in this planning pro-

cess with MaPP and would like to invite and encourage constituents from the Central Coast to attend one of these open houses. A summary of the plan, once released, can be found at http://mappocean.org/centralcoast/draft-plan-forinput/. MaPP is a collaborative multiyear planning process between the BC Provincial Government and 18 First Nations that have traditional territories along the northern coast of BC. The Province and First Nations have been working together for over two years to develop localized coastal and marine plans for Haida Gwaii, North Coast, Central Coast and North Vancouver Island. A Letter of Intent between the

partners was signed in November 2011, with planning meetings continuing through June 2014. Each of the four subregional plans will be accompanied by implementation agreements that provide specific guidance for day-today operations and marine use decisions in the plan area. Implementation and management meetings are anticipated to begin in July 2014. The Province and First Nations have been conducting resource planning for the land in coastal British Columbia for many years through the Land and Resource Management Planning (LRMP) process. Extending this collaborative relationship to marine and coastal areas improves consistency in resource management for the entire region. MaPP focuses specifically on the marine environment which is under provincial jurisdiction: nearshore, foreshore, and waters that are “between the jaws of the land” (fjords and bays). The activities in these areas which are under provincial jurisdiction include: coastal and marine tenures for specific activities (docks, clean energy and underwater cables), provincial seafood development programs (seafood marketing, processing and distribution), protected Areas

(including providing recommendations for a Canada – B.C. Marine Protected Area Network), community, social and economic programs related to marine and ocean interests, and pollution prevention. Coastal and marine plans consider how marine habitats and environments as well as cultural and economic considerations fit together. MaPP is using an Eco-Based Management (EBM) approach to planning, which has precedence around the globe in marine planning, including such high-profile areas as the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia, and the ocean surrounding Cape Cod, an important fishing region in the northeast United States. The principles of EBM are very similar to the way the First Nations of the Central Coast have been practicing resource management and enhancement for thousands of years. This approach is intended to create plans that enhance the health of all aspects of the marine environment, as well as the health and economic wellbeing of the people that rely on the marine environment for their survival and/or economic prosperity. Development of the Central Coast marine plan has been informed by

traditional and local knowledge, as well as globally-recognized best practice science-based decisionsupport tools such as MARXAN (http:// en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Marxan). For the Central Coast, planning has relied heavily on input from local First Nations technical planners, marine use planning committees, and the marine use plans of the Heiltsuk, Kitasoo Xai’Xais, Wuikinuxv, and Nuxalk Nations. Marine planning coordinators for each Nation are: Wilf Dawson (Nuxalk Nation); Julie Carpenter (Heiltsuk Nation): Daniell Shaw (Wuikinuxv Nation); Doug Neasloss (Kitasoo Xai’Xais Nation). The Central Coast Marine Plan Advisory Committee (MPAC) also provides important information and feedback for the development of the plan. The MPAC is comprised of members from a wide range of sectors: Academic, Commercial Fisheries, Recreational Fishing Services, Commercial Tourism, Conservation, Finfish Aquaculture, Forestry, Local Government, Public Recreation, Renewable Energy, and Shellfish Aquaculture. Local MPAC representatives include: Diana Chan (Conservation); Gary Wilson (Finfish Aquaculture); Hans Granander

(Forestry); Brian Lande (Local Government); Alison Sayers (Local Government); Janice Kyle (Public Recreation). These stakeholders have provided details on areas of importance to their groups. Their input was considered by the MaPP partners during development of the draft spatial plan (zone mapping) and aspatial management direction (written plan). All draft spatial zones and aspatial management direction were presented to the MPAC for additional feedback. More information about the committee structure and process of MaPP can be found on the MaPP website: www. mappocean.org. The maps within the spatial plan include “polygons” (pictures) of three different types of zones. General Management Zones (GMZs) allocate space for a wide range of sustainable marine uses and activities. The GMZ designation recognizes that many areas have no over‐arching priorities for use or activity, and that a large number of activities do not have spatial or temporal conflicts. Special Management Zones (SMZs) are established to provide management emphasis for specific uses and activities, to prevent or mitigate current or future conflicts between user groups, or when there is a desire to

allocate space for high priority / high potential sustainable marine uses and activities. Protection Management Zones (PMZs) allocate space primarily for conservation purposes. PMZ areas may contribute to a larger network of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) or serve as a basis forprotecting localizedareas of high conservationvalue. During the public review period for the plan, the CCRD intends to gather feedback from constituents, and then submit feedback, suggestions, and advice to the planners. If you would like to give feedback through the CCRD representatives for MaPP, please contact Brian Lande (250982-2403, blande@ ccrd-bc.ca) or Alison Sayers (250-982-0074, alison@canyonspringsconsulting.com). The CCRD hopes that the final plan enhances the health and wellbeing of the entire Central Coast community and the marine environment, supports First Nations traditional and cultural uses, and enhances the economic development of our region. For further information: www.mappocean.org. This website provides an overview of the process, lists the stakeholders and planners involved, and describes the organizational structure of MaPP. Feedback on the draft plan can be submitted through this website. On www.seasketch.org, navigate to the bottom of this page where the MaPP Marine Planning Portal is shown and click on the link to launch the web map. The web map has numerous layers that have been used during the planning process and users can “turn on” layers with the click of a mouse, and see how they overlap each other.

Hagensborg Water District to complete pilot project this year By KeN DuNswoRTh ChaiR, hwD The Annual General Meeting of the Hagensborg Water Board was held Thursday, April 24th. The Trustees outlined projected Issues on the water Boards horizon and wants to engage in community discussions regarding pota-

ble water and water delivery priorities. The Water Board is preparing for several community meetings this coming year to discuss: aging and degrading water mainline pipe, dam and intake and work with Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) and water treatment system. The Waterworks

District has been engaged in discussions with DFO regarding a possible joint infrastructure project with improvements to the water intake. Turbidity sensing monitors have been installed and DFO is monitoring the readings and reporting any water turbidity events to the District There are some

CCRD releases first ever Annual Report The Central Coast Regional District (CCRD) Board of Directors is proud to release its first ever Annual Report. 2013 has been a year of transitions at the Central Coast Regional District! The Central Coast Regional District 2013 Annual Report outlines activities in 2013, and our finan-

cial expenditures. It also addresses the Board Strategic Priorities for 2014. The 2013 Annual Report will be delivered to homes in the Bella Coola Valley during the second week of May. Outer coast residents will be able to obtain copies of the 2013 Annual Report from their Electoral

Area Director, at Denny Island (Cathi McCullagh) or Bella Bella (Reg MoodyHumchitt). If you haven’t received a copy of the Central Coast Regional District 2013 Annual Report, it will be available from our office at 626 Cliff Street, Bella Coola or from our website: www.ccrd-bc.ca

very big issues being discussed provincially as no funding has been allotted for the implementation of water treatment systems. New information is being considered by the province regarding potable water risk and possible exemptions as most small water systems struggle with maintenance and replacement of aging infrastructure just like the Hagensborg water system. In 2013 the initial draft maintenance cost for the pilot project water treatment system was $6,983.93, which the Trustees believe may prove to be unaffordable. The pilot project will be completed this coming year and the projected maintenance costs will be better understood. The Hagensborg Water Board has developed a well to improve water quality during

high water turbidity events and reduce maintenance costs. The well is to be used during turbidity events by shutting down the intake at the Dam until the turbidity event has passed where we will be back on Snootli Creek water. Over the past five years the Hagensborg Water District Trustees have engaged the water users’ participation in choosing a water treatment path as specified under the Water Act and Regulations. The Water Board Trustees promised that no monies collected would be spent until: all approvals are in place; water treatment would be from saved dollars not borrowed dollars, (expected to take from six to eight years for implementation of treatment system which was approved by Dr.

Mardicay of VHA, which we are in year five); monies saved for replacement purchase of a fire truck; results from a water treatment pilot project to understand maintenance costs, and the Water Board would present results to the community for final treatment approval when maintenance and replacement costs were understood. The Hagensborg Water Board has $586,487.50 saved in term deposits with the Credit Union at this time. Summary of Saved Funds for Hagensborg Waterworks District: Chequing: $4,657.23, Savings: $87,880.95, Term Deposits: $228,487.50 and $357,000.00, Equity Shares: $1,000.00. The total excluding chequing is: $674,367.73 There have been no increases in water toll’s or taxes for

the fourth consecutive year; however next year the Water Board anticipates an inflationary cost increase. Direction from the Hagensborg Water Users at the AGM June 2, 2009 was to remain focused on implementation of a treatment system and not replacement of aging infrastructure. This has resulted in increasing maintenance costs and repairs to an aging infrastructure. The above information will set the context for community discussions this coming year where further community meetings will be undertaken to provide direction to the Hagensborg Water Board regarding implementation of a treatment system, water mainline replacement and our response to the province regarding Hagensborg being a low risk.

RCMP confirm report of over 1000 missing aboriginal women Files FRoM CBC News The RCMP confirmed the shocking details that show the number of missing and murdered aboriginal women over the past three decades is much higher than what was originally thought. In a statement, the RCMP said there are 1,186 police recorded incidents of aboriginal homicides and unresolved missing women investigations. That figure includes 1,017 murdered aboriginal women between the years of 1980 and 2012, as well as 169 missing women dating back to 1952. These numbers are included in a national RCMP report on missing and murdered aboriginal women, which is expected to be released in the coming weeks. “The RCMP has taken on this initiative on behalf of the Canadian law enforcement community because we are concerned about the high incidence of missing and murdered aboriginal women,” the statement read. “We remain committed to resolve outstanding cases, and seeking closure and justice

for families.” The force also said that solutions to the “societal concern” of violence against aboriginal women must come not only from the law enforcement community, but all levels of government. NDP status of women critic Niki Ashton said the newly confirmed number is “shocking.” “If you put it into context, it means that over the last 30 years, 40 aboriginal women and girls didn't — every year — did not come home to see their families,” she said to Rosemary Barton on CBC News Network's Power & Politics. On the same program, Liberal health critic Hedy Fry added that it isn't about how many women there are at all. “The fact is, at that rate, if there were other kinds of women, other than aboriginal women, missing or murdered in this country, there would be an outcry. There would be an inquiry, there would be something,” Fry said. The Aboriginal Peoples Television Network first broke the story that there may be more than 1,000 cases of

Protestors march in Vancouver in support of missing and murdered women

missing or murdered women on Wednesday, which immediately renewed calls to the government for a national public inquiry. The government, for its part, has refused, referring instead to other initiatives carried out over past years. “There are some 40 studies dealing with that issue. The RCMP is conducting a further study on its own,” said Prime Minister Stephen

Harper. “Our government from the very outset has said, as one of its priorities — one of its most important priorities — tackling crime including violence against women and girls.” The parliamentary secretary to the public safety minister, Roxanne James, echoed Harper's response on Power & Politics. “Let me be clear, now is not the time for another study,” she said, adding that

now is “the time to take real action” and move forward with concrete measures to end violence. James said the government has taken over 30 measures since coming into office, citing two separate $25-million initiatives from the 2010 and 2014 budgets, one of them being a DNA-based missing persons index. According to the RCMP statement, the newly confirmed data

was compiled with the assistance of Statistics Canada from close to 300 individual police jurisdictions in Canada and shows an over-representation of missing and murdered aboriginal women in police databases. It also included the point that while aboriginal women make up four per cent of Canada's population, they represent 16 per cent of all murdered females between 1980 and

2012, as well as 12 per cent of all missing females on record. “This research has done more than just provide numbers. It has identified key vulnerability factors for the victims as well as information on the perpetrators,” the statement read. In 2010, the Native Women’s Association of Canada estimated that there were 582 missing or murdered aboriginal women across the country.
