Multiple agencies participated in the extensive search last weekend

Massive search fails to turn up local man missing at sea An extensive search involving multiple agencies failed to find a local fisherman who is thought to have fallen from a vessel early last Friday evening.

The RCMP and the Joint Rescue Coordination Center (JRCC/Coast Guard) were notified of a missing person

on Friday, May 15 at approximately 6:40pm and a search team was dispatched.

The extensive effort included local Bella Coola Valley Search and Rescue (BCVSAR), Regional Coordinating Centre for SAR, local Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), Coast Guard,

SAR Helicopter and Fixed Wing aircraft and the community.

Although RCMP has not officially released the missing person’s identity, it is said that Vern Schooner, 35, was cleaning the back deck of a fishing vessel on a return trip to the Bella Coola wharf from the

North Bentick Arm Channel.

An experienced fisherman, Schooner was last confirmed on the boat at 5:30 p.m. and not noticed missing until 6:00 p.m. by crew members who immediately conducted a search of the area covered in the last half hour.

Local fishing

vessels instantly joined the search.

Resources arrived from Comox, including the Cormorant Helicopter and Buffalo fixed wing aircraft, part of the 442 Transport and Rescue Squadron of 19 Wing Comox, within a few hours of the incident, but were also unable to

find Schooner.

His sandals were located that evening floating in the inlet by a fisherman assisting in the search.

Community efforts continued over the following days with dozens of people assisting in shoreline and marine searches.

After a three day intensive search

with negative results to locate the missing man, on May 18, 2015 at 12:30 p.m. in consultation with all search partners, it was agreed that the search be suspended.

The case remains as a missing person investigation with local RCMP and no foul play is suspected.

Anahim Lake Canoe Race held in memory of local Riley Sager The Anahim Lake Community Association and the Nimpo Lake Community Association held their annual canoe race this past weekend on the Dean River.

Participants start at the boat launch on Nimpo Lake and race to the Anahim Lake Stampede grounds.

Turnout was up this year with 14 teams entered.

For about 40 years teams have had to maneuver their canoes past logs, rocks and beaver dams as spectators race from checkpoint to checkpoint to cheer on their favourite team. The race was followed, as always, by a dinner and dance with live music. Winners of the open class were Tim deGrace and Alex Boileau of Bella Coola, second; Dustin Sager and Richard Simon of Anahim/Nimpo and third; Calvin Sager and Cody Webb of Prince George.

Women's Class winners; Kendra Wood and Leah Simon of Anahim/Nimpo and second; Olivia Bos and Adriana Melo also of Anahim/ Nimpo. Two teams entered in the Sixteen and under were also winners; Jeffrey Lowrie and Matthew Bailiff and Cody and Justin Chamberlain.

This years race was dedicated to Riley Sager. Raised in Anahim Lake, Riley passed away last spring at the age of 25. Riley was a huge supporter of the canoe race; as a participant for many years or as a sponsor when he couldn't race himself. Riley's family donated added prizes to boost the pot this year.

Many old friends and family came home to attend the event in honor of Riley.

BC Parks and Conservation Officer Service working together in Bella Coola to address problem wildlife PRESS RELEASE In a joint initiative, the BC Conservation Officer Service (COS) and BC Parks would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Steven Hodgson for successfully completing his Conservation Officer training at the

Western Conservation Law Enforcement Academy, this past December. Steven’s training will greatly assist Conservation Officers in their work in the Bella Coola Valley.

Due to the current issues with grizzly bears and human

conflicts in the Bella Coola Valley, BC Parks and the COS agree, that Steven’s commitment to the COS should focus on public safety and assistance with human/wildlife conflicts at this time.

This has been identified as the most

important priority for this new position of cooperation between BC Parks and the Conservation Officer Service. Steven Hodgson’s new responsibilities will be reviewed annually and amended as required.

The COS and BC

Parks will be engaging local governments, both CCRD and the Nuxalk Nation, as well as other government agencies, Wildsafe BC and provincial large carnivore and predator conflict specialists to work together with the Bella Coola Valley community to address

and find solutions to the human/wildlife conflicts. It will take the proactive efforts of everyone to make progress on this issue.

The COS are grateful for the professional assistance Steven has provided to the COS in the past and looking forward to his

continued support in responding to some of the human/wildlife conflicts in the Bella Coola Valley. If you have a problem wildlife complaint please call the RAPP Line at 1-877-952-7277 and the COS will notify Steven if assistance is required.

Central Coast school district passes comprehensive LGBT policy

BY JEREMY HAINSWORH Printed in the Daily Xtra BC’s Central Coast School District adopted a new policy April 14 specifying that LGBTQ students, staff and same-gender-parented families have the right to be free from harassment, discrimination and violence.

The new sexual orientation diversity policy says LGBTQ people have the right to be treated fairly, equitably and with dignity, and to enjoy self-identification and freedom of expression.

The policy also says queer people should have avenues of recourse available to them when facing harassment, and that their families and communities should be valued and affirmed.

With the policy’s adoption, Central Coast becomes the 39th of BC’s 60 public school districts to adopt a policy that

explicitly addresses homophobia, gay education advocate Ryan Clayton tells Daily Xtra. “It’s almost a done deal,” he says.

The remaining third of BC’s school districts have yet to specifically deal with discrimination based on sexual orientation.

President Marc Hedges of the Central Coast Teachers’ Association tells Daily Xtra the policy is a progressive one that has been several years in the making as the past board was hesitant to pass it.

Now, he says, there’s a new board — with a new policy.

“It just allows for more equality in the schools and some consequences for people who aren’t willing to be more accepting,” Hedges says. “It will put a damper on negative interactions between students and make staff more aware of behaviours we think are questionable.”

“Hopefully, it will prevent some traumatic experiences in the school district,”

Hedges adds.

The Central Coast district covers a remote area of coastal British Columbia nestled among the Coast Mountains west of the CaribooChilcotin, south of Kitimat and north of Campbell River.

It serves over 200 students in five schools in the largely First Nations communities of Bella Coola/Hagensborg, Oweekeno and Shearwater.

The policy preamble notes homophobic bullying as a routine form of bullying that lesbian, gay, transgender, transsexual, twospirit, bisexual and questioning (LGBTQ) students experience.

That can manifest itself in physical and sexual abuse, harassment in school, and discrimination in the community; emotional stress, suicidal thoughts, and suicide attempts; and lower levels of protective factors such as family and school connectedness, the policy says.

“Homophobia is

directed not only to students who happen to identify themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer,” the policy adds. “Any student, regardless of actual sexuality or gender identity, can be bullied through homophobia.”

School boards have a responsibility to take “appropriate and reasonable measures for enhancing safety for all students and must minimize particular ways that many students feel unsafe,” the policy continues.

“Homophobia is one of those ways.”

The policy says homophobic discrimination is demeaning to all students, their parents or guardians, and employees, regardless of their actual or perceived sexual orientation.

The policy directs schools to include prohibitions in their codes of conduct against language or behaviour that is deliberately denigrating or could incite hatred, prejudice,

discrimination, or harassment towards students or employees on the basis of their real or perceived sexual orientation or gender.

The policy says all employees have an obligation to intervene in any interaction involving the use of homophobic slurs or acts, regardless of the speaker’s inten-

tions.

Clayton applauds the Central Coast policy and describes it as compassionate.

But he questions why the BC government continues to wait for the remaining 21 public school districts to implement their own policies, rather than introducing a province-wide policy.

The Ministry of Education has repeatedly said that it prefers to leave local direction to the districts, though all districts are expected to implement the province’s broad ERASE Bullying strategy and to have codes of conduct in place consistent with the BC Human Rights Code.

Are oil-spill clean up jobs of the future?

Dear Editor, A couple of months ago one shipping container caught fire in the Port of Vancouver.

People were told to stay indoors and evacuation considered. A couple of weeks ago 15 barrels of Bunker fuel spilled in English Bay. There was much gnashing of teeth and finger pointing and ultimately oil, on the beach. How would these people deal with a Mount Polley tailings pond failure?

Do the “economic benefits” really outweigh the “environmental concerns?” In

rural and northern B.C. we don’t see the economic benefits so much. We don’t have a stadium to put a $500 million roof on. We don’t even have adequate recreational facilities; we don’t have $ 4 Billion to replace a bridge.

We don’t even have proper ferry service. I could go on …

I’m not against well-planned, sustainable development. Short sighted recklessness…not so much. Why would a multinational corporation with a sketchy environmental record

After closing a coast Guard station and several Coast Guard Communications Centers, why would the Harper government want supertankers navigating some of the most dangerous waters in the world?

I suspect a lot of the “jobs, jobs, jobs” for the residents of the North and Central coast will be cleaning up oil spills.

Symposium to address housing crisis in the Nuxalk Nation

BY CAITLIN THOMPSON Richard Hall sits behind his desk in his office of the Nuxalk Nation on the 4-Mile reservation.

Surrounded by blueprints, documents, and fielding calls as we talk, he smiles as I comment on his obviously hectic job. Since taking the position of Asset Manager with the Nation one year ago, the expression “hair straight back” is a good description of his workdays.

As with many First Nations communities, the words “housing crisis” could quite easily be applied to the current situation on reserve.

There are approximately 970 people living on reserve, and many of them lack a proper home. Hall estimates that 110 new units would be filled almost immediately if they became available tomorrow, and he is under no illusions about the immensity of the task before him.

“We have situations where there are three families living in one home,” he said.

“The apartments are full, there are houses badly in need of repairs. We need good quality homes for families, homes that suit their economic, social and cultural needs.”

Thankfully, Hall’s past experiences have prepared him well for the challenge ahead. A descendant of the iconic Clayton Mack, Hall said his grandparents always pushed education, and after a tumultuous 22 years logging in the bush, he found carpentry to be a perfect fit and passion.

He began working in the community in the 80s, and after completing a number of local projects more opportunities came knocking, and he left the community to return to school in preparation for a

position as a building inspector for CMHC. He spent the following decade working on and off reserve all over the province, inspecting homes and making recommendations and modifications for people with disabilities. It was a rewarding experience.

“I helped people with disabilities design their homes, I worked on the downtown Eastside designing spaces for homeless people. I’ve visited every reserve in the province and I have seen the challenges throughout,” he said. “I saw and experienced a lot.”

After developing a building specification booklet and development of blueprints specific to the houses being constructed on reserve, Hall has also spearheaded the first ever carpentry field school, which now has 16 local students. “People need to be given a chance,” he asserts. “Most of these students were on social assistance, now they’re in school.

Soon they’ll be building these new houses.

It’s empowering and it’s exactly what this community needs.”

His vision is all encompassing and holistic to providing simple healthy housing. Hall’s plans for the new houses are practical, uncomplicated, and suited to the climate.

There are three and four-bedroom homes built in a rancher style, eliminating the challenges posed by stairs, and they include in-floor radiant heating , rain screen application and incorporated into the design of homes is a simple yet effective building science concepts. For the home owners a home maintenance plan, this is the opportunity to learn to manage the new homes.

The materials are suited for the wet weather encountered

Nuxalk Nation Asset Manager Richard Hall in front one of six new homes currently being constructed in 4-Mile on the west coast.

“On the west coast of BC the life expectancy of a house is seven years. So what are we going to differently?” said Hall.

“We’re incorporating rain screens, moldresistant drywall, and we are thinking about the social and cultural activities people do in their homes.”

The house is also a cultural reflection of a traditional Nuxalkstyle longhouse, designed to include a traditional post and beam style frontage at the entrance. Hall also said careful consideration was put into what activities people do in their homes.

“When I was up north in the interior First Nations’ communities, it wasn’t uncommon to find people skinning moose and drying hides in their basement,” he said. “Here we are boiling fish.

All of these activities affect a home in different ways.”

Hall said that the approach to housing is also changing, and that people should know that they will have more control over their new homes, reflecting the chang-

ing landscape of First Nation’s housing.

“I see the Department of Indian Affairs as an agency that disables our people. That’s a stigma I want to remove,” he explained. “I want people to know that they’re an independent person and they can build a house wherever they want.

All you have to do is be pro-active and follow what’s put in place for you. People have the opportunity to engage in this process.”

Hall explained that for those that qualify on their own, they can go to the lender directly. For those unqualified to gain a mortgage on their own, they can apply through the Nation for assistance, and the home will be paid for on a rent-to-own basis.

“The challenge is to evolve with the banking organizations, the internal hierarchy of Chief and Council, the membership commitment and people personal taking responsibility, being accountable for their interests,” said Hall. “People will own it and they

will be responsible for it, and they will do the maintenance.

This is happening across Canada, and the upcoming housing symposium is designed to help people understand the shift from the old system.”

the proposed New Prosperity Mine near Williams Lake, in B.C.'s Cariboo region.

"So many times, people always said that, 'You'll never win against something like this, it's huge,'" Baptiste said in an interview with CBC. "I did realize that.

I said that to myself that this is pretty huge, you know, but you know what? This is our territory and we have never given up our land and our title. Never."

The Goldman Environmental Foundation has credited Baptiste for preparing First Nations submissions for the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency in 2010.

The submissions argued the New Prosperity Mine would threaten Teztan Biny, or Fish Lake, which holds spiritual and economic significance for the Xeni Gwet'in and other Tsilhqot'in Nations.

First Nations activists fighting the New

Prosperity Mine proposal said the development would kill Fish Lake, preventing access to a place of spiritual importance.

(CBC) After the environmental review, the federal government rejected the mine proposal in 2010.

When Taseko Mines submitted a revised proposal in 2011, Baptiste began a one-woman road blockade that stopped construction crews from accessing the proposed mine site. The federal government rejected the mine again in early 2014.

Later that year, the Supreme Court of Canada granted the Tsilqot'in Nation title to more than 1,700 square kilometres of land encompassing the Nemiah Valley, where Baptiste lives.

“Marilyn worked tirelessly with community and other Tsilhqot’in Chiefs to protect Tsilhqot’in lands from the Prosperity/New Prosperity projects

and this prestigious award is a great encouragement to all of us,” said Xeni Gwet’in Chief Roger William, who was the named plaintiff in the historic Supreme Court of Canada decision last summer on Aboriginal Title, declaring the right of the Tsilhqot’in to full ownership, benefit and control of our land, culture and way of life.

“This is a great honor to have one of our community members and leaders acknowledged for their work. We are proud of Marilyn and we celebrate with her success,” said Chief William. Tsilhqot’in Tribal Chair Chief Joe Alphonse said: “This reminder is very timely and helpful Other winners of the Goldman Environmental Prize are Phyllis Omido from Kenya, Myint Zaw from Burma (Myanmar), Howard Wood from Scotland, Jean Wiener from Haiti and Berta Caceres from Honduras.

HCTF Chair Harvey Andrusak says the grant selection process is competitive and ensures that the maxi-

mum conservation benefit is achieved for the money available. “Each year, we receive hundreds of applications requesting funding for BC conservation projects,” said Andrusak. “These proposals are carefully reviewed and evaluated on their technical merit, and also their potential to make a positive difference for fish & wildlife: oag.”

For 2015-16, HCTF has approved 118 projects in BC: a total of $6.5 million in grants.

Most of the funding awarded comes from surcharges on fishing and hunting licences, and many of the approved projects are focused on species important to anglers and hunters.

However, a significant number of grants also go to projects ben-

efitting whole ecosystems, species-at-risk, and environmental education programs.

A complete list of this year’s approved projects can be viewed at www.hctf.ca. The Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation (HCTF) began as an initiative of BC anglers, hunters, trappers and guide outfitters.

Since 1981, HCTF

has provided over $155 million in grants for more than 2000 conservation projects across BC. HCTF is currently accepting applications for grants to fund volunteerbased conservation projects under its Public Conservation Assistance Fund program. Deadline is May 15th, and application information is available at www.hctf.c
