Fun filled day at the 2015 Bella Coola Valley Fall Fair BY SARAH MATTHEWS It was a fun filled day at this years Fall Fair on Sept 13th. The weather was cooperative, and the crowd was large. The day started off with a great parade. There were children dressed up like Lego and block characters, four great floats, and many pretty horses with good-lookin’ riders. Everyone looked great all dressed up! My personal favorites were Lexi Gunderson and her bright pink block costume, and Steve Hodgson dressed as a Lego man with his big yellow head! Ah, the things a

guy does to make his family happy! The crowd was then treated to the singing of “O Canada” by a valley newcomer Leah Jones. She did a lovely job. While logger sports was getting set up, kids ran off to play games and ride the train, and adults ran off to grab a bite at one of the many yummy food booths. The nice variety of foods was enjoyed by everyone. Logger sports got underway and as always, there was lots of action and lots of laughs. Over in Lobelco Hall, folks had a chance to roam around and admire the exhibits. Finn Carlson won the “Craziest Carrot” contest with a prize donated from

the Agriculture Society. I entered the “Largest Sunflower Seedhead” contest and was beat by a four-year old and a two-year old. You never know who will win! I want to encourage everyone to enter something in the Fair. It's a lot of fun, and everyone loves to see the entries. We would like to add a few new categories for next year and perhaps delete a couple that never get entered. Cedar weaving, anyone? I wanted to apologize for not announcing the division winners on Sunday, so here they are: Cut Flowers: Ilma Matthews, Potted Plants: Margaret Brekke,

Vegetables: Moira McIlwain, Fruit: Moira McIlwain, Canning and Preserves: Pat Hall, Home Cooking: Pat Hall, Needlework and Quilting: Susan Osmers, Beer and Wine: Greg Sayers, Photography: Lauren Harrison, Children's Division: Camilla Saunders, Arts, Crafts, Hobbies: Ray McIlwain, Special Contests: Rio Lodge, Best Overall Adult: Pat Hall Best Overall Child: Camilla Saunders. Congratulations Everyone! Also over in Lobelco Hall, there was the “Bella Coola Soup Cook-Off” taking place. Locals, using local ingredients, made soups that were then tasted by the

public and voted on. In the end the People's Choice was Carol Clarke's “Butternut Squash and Yam Soup.” The most local soup was Katy Best and Dean Mecham's “Beef and Vegetable Soup,” and runner uppers were Kevin O'Neil's “Heirloom Tomato Soup,” and Christina Hoppe's “Old Fashioned Borscht.” Thanks to the Bella Coola Agriculture Society for organizing that. Logger Sports wrapped up with Gary Edgar being crowned “Bull of The Woods” and Lindsay Gericke being crowned as “Lady Of The Woods.” Good job everyone! A huge thank you goes to Hans and Caroline

Granander for organizing the Logger's sports. Also, thanks to the Hydro guys for organizing the Horseshoe Tournament and Melinda Mack for organizing the bingo. I would like to thank all the volunteers who ran the train and the games, cooked the food, entered exhibits, the judges of the exhibits, and folks who were involved in logger sports, horseshoes, bingo, parade, set-up and take-down on the grounds, Barney Kern for donating the dumpster and its removal, and most of all, thank you Bella Coola for coming out and being a part of Fall Fair Day.

Compassion and Benevolence With their love, caring, kindness, generosity and hospitality, our Elders made our community – this Valley, a wonderful place to live! However, many of us are disturbed by comments on

Facebook, in the past as well as recently. Through the years, boats have sunk at our wharf, on the fishing grounds and we all mourned with the families of the fine men who lost their

lives in these disasters. People rallied, assisted in every way possible, no fingers pointed, no cruel vicious words. Misfortune in one form or another is never far from us, and friendship, respect and

concern for each other have always helped us thorough hard, difficult times and will again. It seems Facebook gives license and reduces the intellect of some supposedly mature adults to a low

IQ level. Bullying on Facebook or off is unacceptable. It ruins lives, relationships and has caused many suicides. Our Elders also had wonderful “gems” of advice: “Be careful

what you say – your words may come back to haunt you and bite you in the back side!” Another was the Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.”

Sincerely, Lois Yvonne Casperson P.S. If you have any comments regarding the above, please give me a call at 250 982-2236.

Candidates identify issues in federal election campaign BY ERNEST HALL With just over three weeks remaining in the 2015 federal election campaign, candidates are criss-crossing one of Canada’s largest ridings, vying to represent Skeena-Bulkley Valley in the next Canadian Parliament. This riding, covering nearly one-quarter of British Columbia, reaches from Rivers Inlet to the Yukon border and from Haida Gwaii and the Alaska Panhandle nearly halfway across the province – more than 323,000 square kilometres and nearly the size of Norway. It has been represented in Ottawa by New Democratic Party Member of Parliament Nathan Cullen for the past 11 years and was recently altered to include the entire Bella Coola Valley. The Coast Mountain News presented the candidates in each of the parties seeking election with the following questions: 1. What is the most important issue in this election for voters in Skeena-Bulkley Valley? 2. What can be done to address the severe economic condition of the Bella Coola/Central Coast region? 3. If elected, what will you do to address this concern? 4. Since the elimination of BC Ferries

Route #40 two years ago, the restoration of a suitable marine link in the Discovery Coast Circle has been of great concern in our region. If elected, what will you do to address this concern? 5. Why should a voter in the Bella Coola Valley vote for you? 6. Do you plan to visit the Central Coast and Bella Coola Valley during this campaign? Paraphrases of their responses (in alphabetical order) follow:

Nathan Cullen (New Democratic Party) The economy is the main issue in “a change election”. Voters need to elect a government that understands the northwest and can help economically. We need to ask: “What kind of change do we want.” The region’s economic problems can be addressed by creating “valueadded” industries that build on the region’s natural wealth. Transportation and

communication improvements (particularly improved internet and cell-phone service) would benefit business development. The federal subsidy to British Columbia for operating ferries on the Central and North Coast needs to be “taken back” from Victoria, and BC Ferries needs a “shakeup” so that they look at service on the whole coast and not only in the more populous South. In his 11 years as Member of Parliament, Cullen says he has spent a lot of time in the Bella Coola Valley and sees himself as a “partner and ally” of a community that has “been neglected by a series of governments”.

Brad Layton (Liberal Party) The economy is the most important issue, followed closely by environmental concerns. These can be addressed by “finding our strengths and

weaknesses”, particularly by improving communications through better internet and cell-phone services. Such infrastructure improvements, along with enhancing skills and training, housing, and First Nations concerns and are high priorities – especially in a riding where 33% of the population and 29% of the voters are First Nations people. There is a need to meet with local governments and First Nations and to pursue “green technology”, creating value-added businesses to build on the potential once better infrastructure is in place. More than a plan is needed: The steps to be taken need to be identified. A marine link in the Circle Tour through Bella Coola is necessary for the tourism industry, and the federal and provincial governments need to work on eliminating the hurdles in order to re-establish suitable ferry service. Layton says he has an advantage representing the region in Ottawa because he is “not a professional politician” and that he is a hard worker who will be “in touch” with people across the riding, representing all of its citizens.

Published by Black Press Ltd. 442 Mackenzie Street, Bella Coola, BC Phone: 250 799 5699

Tyler Nesbitt (Conservative Party) The most important issue is the economy. Addressing this entails creating jobs by keeping taxes low and encouraging investment in areas such as responsible resource development that will allow for that job growth to happen. Massive tax increases on people and businesses will harm economic and job growth prospects. Nesbitt says the Liberals and NDP are proposing new CPP, EI and business taxes on all Canadians. They also want to force a national carbon tax on the provinces that will increase the cost of gas and groceries while doing nothing to address climate change. “That is the exact opposite of what we should do right now given the economic instability across the globe,” he says. If elected, Nesbitt pledges to “continue to fight for measures that will grow the economy

and create jobs in our region. I will not support job-killing tax increases that grow the size of government in Ottawa but harm the local economies of the communities in Skeena-Bulkley Valley.” With respect to regional ferry service, Nesbitt notes that while the service receives an annual federal subsidy, BC Ferries are a provincial matter. He hopes to visit the area during the campaign and would like to discuss the issue with local residents.

Jeannie Parnell (Green Party) Proposals for largescale projects such as pipelines, mining, and other industries, particularly along the Highway 16 corridor, are the most pressing concern. Instead, economic development can be addressed best by job creation through small business, creating jobs locally through efforts such as community gardens and local food systems. As MP, Parnell

would work closely with Bella Coola residents to come up with solutions to both economic development and restoration of suitable ferry service, which she describes as “an essential service”. She sees this as an “opportunity” for Central Coast residents to “purchase their own vessel” – perhaps in a partnership arrangement. “I think voters need to vote for who will take the time to really look into the economic reality of Bella Coola and come up with some solutions,” she says. As a community developer, Parnell says she knows how to access funding, “working with the people and supporting them.”

Donald Spratt (Christian Heritage Party) The most important issue is “whether our children and grandchildren live free and prosperous under ‘God and the rule of law’, or live and die under secular humanist tyranny”. SEE 'REGISTER' PAGE 5

Register to vote! Federal election to be held October 19 FROM PAGE 4 He says Canada’s Christian heritage is “threatened by a lawless ‘multiculturalism’.” He believes “that God is grieved with Canada, especially with our government”, and that “all the other candidates. . . say abortion and same-sex marriage are settled law, and therefore we ‘extremists’ should just fold our tents and go away, so they can focus on ‘important issues’ like jobs and the economy, the environment, or national security.” Spratt says he is unfamiliar with Bella Coola, so there “is no point in making specific promises”. He adds: “It certainly makes sense to me that you need the restoration of a ferry or some marine link to your community.” He says Bella Coola voters should vote for him because he is “not a man of empty words”. Brief biographies follow: Nathan Cullen, originally from Toronto, was a community economic development consultant in Central and South America in the 1990’s before settling in Smithers where he started a private consulting business in 1998 focussing on strategic planning and conflict resolution. He entered politics with his election as NDP Member of Parliament in 2004 and has been re-elected three times. In 2012 he was unsuccessful in his bid to lead the federal NDP, and served most recently as the Opposition Finance Critic. Maclean’s Magazine named him Most Knowledgeable Parliamentarian last year. Brad Layton, of Telkwa, has lived and worked as a forest technician in the Bulkley Valley since 1987. Currently Vice-President

of Operations for Pro-Tech Forest Resources Ltd, he has just begun his second term as a Telkwa Village councillor. As a forester, he has been been instrumental in developing the current forest health management strategies, and he believes Canada’s natural resource sectors can be world leaders in innovation and sustainability. His experience on Telkwa Village Council provides him with an understanding of the unique and diverse needs of the vast regions that make up the riding of Skeena-Bulkley Valley. Tyler Nesbitt was born and raised in Prince Rupert and now lives in Terrace where he works as a construction manager for the Nechako Group of Companies. After receiving his Bachelor of Arts in anthropology from the University of British Columbia he moved back to the Northwest to work and raise a family. Nesbitt wants to work hard for the people of the Northwest to ensure that his children and other parents’ children will have the opportunity to find high-paying, longterm careers right here in the beautiful Northwest. He believes that families are stronger when they are together. Believing in responsible resource development, Nesbitt strongly supports making a Northwest LNG industry a reality. Jeannie Parnell is from the Stellaten First Nation near Prince Rupert. She graduated from SFU’s Community Economic Development program in 2006 and has been working in Community Development since. After five years as a lifestyle counsellor with Vancouver Coastal Health, she

moved on to work as a patient advocate with the Provincial Health Authority. One of her Community Development success stories is with Vancouver Native Health – an intergenerational garden project known as the Tu’wusht Project, which provides Downtown Eastside residents with an opportunity to learn how to grow vegetables and cook with harvested vegetables at a University of BC farm. In 2014 Parnell was also instrumental in establishing the Urban Smoke House in Prince Rupert. Parnell wishes to make positive changes for residents in Skeena-Bulkely Valley by focussing on current social and economic issues such as poverty, healthy living and education. These issues include the Highway of Tears and violence against women and families. Donald Spratt, originally from Saskatchewan, has owned and operated various construction, sales and installation businesses, and has worked as a paramedic, business development manager, salesman and machinery operator at various times over the last 45

years. Since graduating from Full Gospel Bible College in 1973, he has served as a pastor, gospel singer, recording artist, Bible teacher, evangelist, missionary and in international humanitarian aid and development. He was ordained in 1981. Since the late 1970’s, Spratt has been a Christian human and civil rights activist working for the release of persecuted pastors and dissidents in the former Soviet

Union and other communist nations. He became increasingly active in the mid-1980s defending the pre-born and the traditional family, helping found and publish Life Gazette Newspaper. He also organized lobby efforts to Ottawa on behalf of preborn children and has participated in many campaigns in support of moral and socially conservative issues. He has been repeatedly jailed for his activism. He was nominated

and ran for Surrey council in 1985 and 1986 with the Surrey Non-Partisan Association. At press time, none of the five candidates was able to commit to visiting the Central Coast during the campaign. Results of the 2011 election follow: NDP: Nathan Cullen 55.3% (an increase of 5.5% over the 2008 election), Conservative: Clay Harmon 34.5% (a decrease of 1.9% over the 2008 election), Liberal: Kyle Warwick 3.6% (a

Summer 2015 Teen Takeover, the Garden Project, enriches Putl’iixw Community Garden BY ROSE CLARK Last summer, through Vancouver Coastal Health’s SMART Fund with an aim of encouraging youth initiative for long term community development, Bella Coola Valley Learning Society (BCVLS) started a new project for Bella Coola Valley teenagers. As facilitator, I entrusted a few interested teens with the responsibility of codeveloping this new project. The name “Teen Takeover” was collectively invented and our first theme of interest was “food,” learning where it comes from and how we might be able to produce it ourselves. Summer 2015 Teen Takeover, The Garden Project, set out on a series of field trips to witness how local valley dwellers are currently achieving successful food production and management. Together we learned a little about soil building,

greenhouse culture, handling livestock, and how insanely distracting cute lambs can be! Diving right in, we planted our own seeds in the yard of New Leaf Learning Centre, located behind Mackenzie United Church, and watched the seedlings mature into a healthy garden. Energized by a successful strawberry patch and equipped with a brief documentary we made of their achievements, sisters Claudia and Catriona Nelson committed to making sure the project continued this year. We shared Teen Takeover’s efforts with B.C. Hydro and applied for B.C. Hydro Community Investment Funding to establish The Garden Project for another season, and our wish was granted! BCVLS and all those involved in the project want to give B.C. Hydro a big thank you for its recognition of the Bella Coola Valley and its generous investment in the

community. This year we started off steady, but unfortunately in mid-spring, our garden suffered damage which pushed us to move the project into 4 Mile and become a part of the Putl’iixw Community Garden, a move which is turning out to be a very positive change. Corissa Lee, Putl’iixw Garden manager, welcomed us with tools and water to share. “This is better,” said Claudia Nelson, viewing the progress of her garden plot being rebuilt and personally shoveling in the fertile soil. Teen Takeover now feels at home in Putl’iixw and we are looking forward to the project developing in the comfort of the community garden. All in all this season was another success: we nurtured seedlings, got our hands in the dirt (and sheepishly in the manure), gained knowledge from those more experienced and, with a big shout out to Taslynn Nelson,

NHL star Clayton Stoner facing charges for 2013 grizzly hunt BY CAITLIN THOMPSON Clayton Stoner is facing five charges under the Wildlife Act for a spring grizzly bear hunt near Bella Coola in 2013. Stoner, who was the subject of intense scrutiny after a leaked photo showed the hockey star holding the severed head and paws of a five-year old grizzly he shot in Kwatna, is now facing two counts of knowingly making a false statement to obtain a licence, hunting without a licence, hunting out of season and unlawful possession of dead wildlife.

All five charges relate to the accusation that Stoner could not have been considered a resident of B.C., as was required by his permit to shoot the bear, because his main residence would have been the U.S. city where he lived as part of his NHL career. Stoner, who now plays for the Anaheim Ducks, is accused of falsely claiming to be a B.C. resident when he applied for the licence, according to Det. Sgt. Cynthia Mann with the Conservation Officer Service. “At the time Mr. Stoner was playing for the Minnesota Wild hockey team

The review and comment period will last 30 days from September 10, 2015. Comments will be received until October 13, 2015. FLNR office may not be able to consider comments received after this date. Comments can also be posted at: http://www.arfd. gov.bc.ca/ApplicationPosting/index.jsp?PrimaryStatus=pending Please be sure to cite the Applicant’s name and the location of the proposed activity and File Number for reference.

so the question of his B.C. residence initiated an investigation,” said Mann. According to the B.C. Wildlife Act, resident means a person who is a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident, whose primary residence is in B.C., and has been physically present in B.C. for the greater portion of each of six out of the 12 months immediately preceding making an application. Stoner was also the subject of a documentary film released by the Coastal First Nations entitled “Bears Forever,” which detailed the shooting of the bear, nicknamed “Cheeky” by the Guardian Watchmen of the area. The area also falls under the traditional territory of the Coastal First Nations, who issued a ban on all trophy hunting in their region in 2012. Jessie Housty, who is a councillor with the Heiltsuk Nation, told regional media that while they welcomed the charges, they would rather the province ban trophy hunting altogether. “I think it’s positive in the sense that I hope it makes trophy hunters aware that they’re being policed and that they're being held to a very high standard,” said Housty. “However, it is still legal for them to do this under law and you could just as easily read the situation as an opportunity to learn from Clayton Stoner’s mistakes and keep their nose clean when they’re practising their own trophy hunting. In that sense, it’s not really a win for us.” Critics of the trophy hunt have long

NHL player Clayton Stoner is facing five charges under the Wildlife Act argued that government science is inaccurate and that the practice should be banned for a number of reasons, including the assertion from First Nations leaders that their indigenous laws should be respected. October 1 will mark the opening of B.C.’s controversial grizzly bear hunt and Central and North Coast First Nations

are saying they will step up their actions against hunters found in their territory. The B.C. government authorized 3,469 grizzly bear tags in 2015, up from 3,067 in 2014 but down from 3,786 in 2013. On average, hunters have killed about 270 grizzly bears in British Columbia every year since 2010. The province esti-

mates there to be 15,000 grizzlies in British Columbia – about a quarter of the entire North American population. Douglass Neasloss, Chief Councilor of the Kitasoo-Xaixais, believes that both the government’s scientific and economic modeling is flawed and that there is no way to sustainably or ethically support

a grizzly bear hunt in the Great Bear Rainforest, or anywhere else for that matter. Neasloss said that all aspects of the grizzly bear hunt are in complete opposition to his community’s culture, and that the Coastal Guardian Watchmen will be stepping up their patrols to ensure hunters get the message.
