62nd Annual Bella Coola Fall Fair sees great turnout It was a picture perfect day at the Bella Coola Fall Fair grounds for the 62nd annual Fall Fair. The community came out in droves to spectate, participate, and enjoy the atmosphere. The fair began with the parade which saw decorated bikes, floats, and horses all decked out in the 'fairytale' theme. Fair organizers were thrilled with the two floats were entered in the parade with the first place prize going to a beautifully done 'Frozen' themed float created by Luke Bittner, Emma Brown, Morgan Nelson and their parents. Centennial Pool's cleverly designed pool float took second place. “We loved seeing the two floats entered, they were both very well-done,” said Fair organizer Sarah Matthews. “We hope this encourages more
people to enter floats next year.” Parent Abra Silver, whose 'Frozen' float took top honours, agrees. “It was a really fun experience and the kids had a great time,” she said. “I recommend more people do it!” In the Children's Parade first place went to Molly Moren, Ava MacDonald was second and Cora Harestad was third. In the Family Category first place went to Jerome White, Camilla Saunders and Della Saunders. Second was William and Ben Dishkin and third was Josiah and Naomi den Otter. There were also almost a dozen horses entered in the competition, with kudos going to Caroline Granander and Vickie Tuck for all of their hard work creating costumes for the riders. First place in the Horse Parade Pee-Wee Division went to Isla Hodgson riding
Embla, first place Intermediate went to Tamara Robson and second place to Ryder Mudry. In the Junior Division Rachel Chatham won first place for Best Groomed with Seri Vosgurgh in first for Best Costume. In the Adult Open Division Wendy Kingsley won first place for Best Groomed and Annika Granander was first for Best Costume. Exhibit Division Winners were Ilma Matthews (Cut Flowers), Cindy Nygaard (Potted Plants), Rick Ratcliff (Vegetables), and a three-way tie for Fruit (Rick Ratcliff, Skye Newkirk and Adell Robson). Adell Robson also won Canning and Preserves and Home Cooking, and Alison Sayers won Dairy Products. Needlework and Quilting went to Doreen Underhill, while Erin Chapman and Ray
McIlwain won for Beer and Wine. Photography went to Cindy Nygaard and Ray McIlwain won Arts, Crafts and Hobbies and Special Contests. Camilla Saunders was a big winner, taking both the Children's Section top spot and the Overall Child. Overall Adult went to Cindy Nygaard. The Logger Sports were once again a big hit with the crowd with some fierce competition between the ladies this year. For perhaps the first time, female entrants outnumbered the males (watch out boys, these Bella Coola women are tough!) There were several first-time competitors in both the male and female divisions, with Gary Edgar defending his title as Bull of the Woods for the umpteenth time (I have lost count). Lindsay Gericke was
the one to watch this year in the female competition, take first place in the Ladies Choker Race, the Axe Throw (deadly aim) and the Nail Driving. The competition concluded with a nail-biter of a finish: an axe throw to determine the Lady of the Woods between two very tough competitors (and great friends) Lindsay Gericke and Abra Silver. Gericke took the win and was crowned her first title as Lady of the Woods. Alongside Cody Robson, she also received the Scott Moody Memorial 'Most Sportsmanlike Logger' award. Thanks once again to the Bella Coola Fall Fair Association for a wonderful day and to the Bella Coola Community Forest for organizing the Logger Sports. It was a great day to be in Bella Coola!

Legal historian makes case smallpox was intentional 'biological warfare' By Caitlin Thompson Tom Swanky is an unassuming figure. A humble, soft-spoken gentleman in his sixties, he believes he's uncovered some of the most compelling evidence on the spread of smallpox in decades. A lawyer and legal historian by trade, Swanky has worked for over 10 years on what he calls a 'detective story.' A resident of Quesnel, Swanky was born in the hospital that was built on the site where five of the six Tsilhqot'in chiefs were hung in 1864. His conclusion that the spread of smallpox was far more intentional than previously recognized sprang from his interest in the defence given by the Tsilhqot'in chiefs at the time of their trial. “They were supplied a defence council and the main reason they gave for their actions of war was the spread of smallpox,” he explained. “They saw it as a deliberate act of aggression and war on their people.” Following this trail of evidence led Swanky to believe that smallpox was actually used as biological weapon against the natives by the colonial government of the time who were seeking to attain native land in places they knew harboured great resistance. This story corresponds with many tales told by native elders, who have long believed that the introduction of smallpox was a calculated move to eradicate their people. In 2012 Swanky published a book entitled “The True Story of Canada's 'War' of Extermination on the Pacific,' which details his 10 years of research in 496 pages. Together with his son, Shawn Swanky, he is now working on a documentary film about the smallpox epidemic entitled 'The Great Darkening.' Bella Coola plays a pivotal role in the spread of the disease because of its position to the Coast and the Interior, which was
Tom Swanky's book will now be made into a documentary film entitled 'The Great Darkening' of great importance in the early days of colonialism. Swanky visited Bella Coola last week to take some still shots of the Valley for the documentary, and announced that he is also working on a book specific to the smallpox story of Bella Coola. While there is general acceptance that the spread of smallpox was an intentional move in some cases, most historians do not believe it was to the scale that Swanky proposes. Many are familiar with the intentional trading of infected blankets, but Swanky alleges that it was much more insidious that that. Bella Coola's strategic position made it a very attractive place for investment and development during the latter half of the 1800s, and it is precisely this reason that Swanky believes smallpox was introduced into the Bella Coola Valley. “In the 1860's there was great confidence that a railroad was going to be built to Bella Coola, and
that goods would be transported from there down the coast,” Swanky said. “Alongside the colonial government, there were also multiple private investors that wanted to see this happen, and they saw native occupation as their main obstacle to acquiring the land they needed.” Swanky alleges that the way the disease manifested in Bella Coola was too quick to be a 'natural' epidemic, and that the means of spreading the disease point to a very intentional infection. “There were three main ways smallpox was intentionally spread,” he explains. “The first was through infected blankets. The second was intentional, direct contact with an infected person, and the third was through false vaccination programs.” Swanky points to the World Health Organization's factsheet on smallpox, which states that the disease usually takes months to spread
through a population. “The WHO says that smallpox epidemics develop compartively slowly, the interval between each generation is two to three weeks,” said Swanky. “Compare that to what happened in Bella Coola. There was nothing slow about it. In three weeks most were already dead. It is impossible that there was anything casual or accidental about this introduction.” Swanky said that smallpox carriers were sent to every dwelling in the villages they encountered in Bella Coola, therefore ensuring individuals would all contract the disease at the same time. This accounts for the mass deaths that occured all at once throughout the Valley. Tales were told of bodies 'dying and rotting away by the score and it is no uncommon occurence to come across dead bodies lying in the bush.' Some villages were reduced to one survivor. Although Swanky's evidence seems compelling, his research is not without its critics. Robin Fisher, head of the Department of History at the University of Northern British Columbia and an expert on Native/ European relations, states that the book delivers “some truth, but not the whole truth.” While Fisher agrees with Swanky that governments and settlers in British Columbia deprived First Nations peoples of their land and undermined their traditional systems of government and introduced smallpox that resulted in a sharp decline in the Aboriginal population, he disagrees that there is an explicit connec-

tion between the two. “I have several concerns with the way this conclusion is presented. The line of argument is circuitous, rather than straightforward, and therefore difficult to follow,” said Fisher in a review. “My fundamental concern is with how the conclusions in this book are reached: in other words the use of evidence. Like a coyote on the hunt, the route may be circuitous, but there can be only one outcome. And so the evidence is marshaled and manipulated to prove a predetermined point.” Journalist Stephen Hume also takes issue with Swanky's argument, but he does state that the book is a worthy read. “I disagree with Swanky's asser-
tion that the smallpox epidemic of 1862 was a case of deliberately instigated biological warfare, a genocide designed by the colonial administration of James Douglas to clear the landscape of troublesome natives so it could be settled by newcomers,” said Hume. “His book is well worth reading, though.” However, Swanky sees the denial of his findings as a root cause for the troubles facing First Nations and government today, and believes reconciliation and compensation won't be possible until this history is addressed. “It was the depopulation of the British Pacific colonies through these epidemics that allowed the subjugation and dispossession of the
indigenous peoples of B.C. without treaties or compensation to acquire native title to resources,” said Swanky. “The elders' teaching of an ethnic cleansing policy in the founding of British Columbia on the one hand, and its denial by Canadian officials on the other hand, is now the root cause of what seems likely to be hundreds of millions in modern lawsuits. It is this denial, along with the associated lack of respect for the indigenous peoples, and not the truth consistently taught by elders, that creates today's conflict and economic risks.” You can find out more about Tom Swanky and his upcoming documentary at www.shawnswanky.com

CCRD hosts Open House for Integrated Strategic Planning SUBMITTED BY DARLA BLAKE An open house for the CCRD 2015 – 2019 Integrated Strategic Planning process was held on August 14th for the Bella Coola Valley. This was the second open house hosted by the CCRD in regards to the Integrated Strategic Planning process with the
first one being held on Denny Island in July. Both open houses had great turn outs and were well received by the communities. The structure for the open house had a casual approach which allowed people to walk around the room freely and discuss with CCRD Board Members and
staff on any issues that they feel are important heading into the next five years. To help inform the public on what an Integrated Strategic Plan is the CCRD had information packages to hand out explaining the integrated strategic planning process, who is involved and their
roles, mandated services, and a feedback/suggestion card, amongst other information. Information and issues stations were setup covering finance, land use, emergency preparedness, airport, economic development, public works and governance. The public was encouraged to write
down issues that the CCRD should be aware of. This was met with great success, and many suggestions were shared. The public openly engaged in dialogue with the staff and board members. Information and feedback received will be taken into consideration as CCRD continue
developing the 2015 - 2019 Integrated Strategic Plan. The CCRD would like to thank everyone who attended the open houses, and for taking the time to fill out and return the feedback/ suggestion cards. All information gathered at both open houses is considered to be valuable, and public
participation in the process has been greatly appreciated. The CCRD will provide updates to the public as they continue on with this process. Watch the CCRD website http://www.ccrd-bc. ca/ and Facebook page at Central Coast Regional District – CCRD for more information soon.

Valley Ridge Riders hosts successful first fund raising Poker Ride By Wendy Kingsley August was a busy month for the Club. We had our last Gymkhana of the year on Sunday August 10th with a great turn out of both riders and spectators. On Saturday August 23rd, we held our first ever fund raising Poker Ride. We invited quads, bikes, walkers and of course horse and rider to come and try their luck. There were 19 people on 10 quads, and 9 horse and riders. Volunteers, directors and members shared in preparing the trail ahead of time as well as manning the five card stations that included the start and finish and getting the food and
BBQ down to the Rodeo grounds. Fifty percent of the proceeds went to the top three winning hands. Thanks to our poker hand specialist who took all twenty eight hands and determined the winners. The ride started at 3:15pm and the last rider arrived at the Rodeo grounds at about 5:20pm. After a rest and a thirst quencher we dove into our famous Rodeo burgers. Everyone had a great time and we are talking about doing another ride onSunday, September 28. Thank you to all that participated and to the dedicated volunteers who helped make this event happen. Happy Trails, one and all.

Bella Coola wharf on her last voyage as the “connector” in this season’s version of the Bella CoolaPort Hardy summer ferry service. Ortner, on a trip to visit family in
Victoria - and wanting to see the Bella Coola Valley and Central Coast for the first time - had been trying to book on the Nimpkish for a month, but was turned down

because the little vessel was full. However, he was told, he could take a chance and show up, hoping to get on with his little truck. He took the chance and drove

the 10+ hours (735 km) from Kamloops – only to be met with disappointment. Ortner is not alone. Numerous travelers – most of them international tourists expecting the “trip of a lifetime” have complained through a Bella Coola Valley Tourism question-
naire about the inability to book reservations on the Discovery Coast Circle Tour. At the wharf, Ortner turned down an offer of a free breakfast, saying he was “too irritated” to enjoy breakfast. Instead, he got into his little truck,
turned it around, and headed back toward Williams Lake. Ironically, Kamloops is also the home of Transportation Minister Todd Stone who is responsible for the decision to deploy the Nimpkish in her role this summer.
