The fourteenth annual Bella Coola Music Festival was blessed with perfect weather, fabulous musical performances, and a wonder-ful array of attendees and art-ists. 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 per-formances 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 attend-ees 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 antici-pated 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 perform-ers 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 danc-ing with their infectious energy. A real crowd favou-rite, The Steadies are the

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 tradition-al 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 petro-glyphs 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 amaz-ing experience. We are feeling very blessed.”

Wrapping up the Festival’s first

day was legendary Six Nations rocker Derek Miller, and he did not disap-point. 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 high-energy: he simply radiates rock star quality. Playing for almost two hours, the crowd wasn’t ready to quit and Miller obliged with an encore perfor-mance 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, danc-ing, musical perfor-mances by Helen Austin, and the ever-present Bounce House.

Most of the per-formers were back for the day and a unique teaming up of Leonard Sumner and Derek Miller got everyone’s atten-tion. Besides the fun banter between the

two, these musicians tackled some press-ing issues with their songs and captivat-ed 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 audi-ence,” 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 heartwarm-ing ‘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 suc-cessfully, and all of the artists were so impressed to learn that this profes-sional 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 every-one for making it a success – see you in 2014!

Work began in mid-

July 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 infor-mation available. For instance, directly south of the new pull-out is a perfect exam-ple of a glacial “hang-ing 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 – dat-ing back to the time before the Norwegian settlement of Hagensborg. In fact, some of the oldest farm structures in the Valley are still stand-ing 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 threat-ening 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 hydro-logical changes to the slope, altering the drainage and making the slope less stable.

Also highly visible at the new pullout are four mountains

including Mt. Fougner to the west, known to many Bella Coola resi-dents as “the moun-tain 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 pull-out 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 log-ging 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,

signs depicting the Norwegian settle-ment and the log-ging 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 loca-tion 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 “alu-micore” construction used for most recent-ly-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 tour-ists travelling through the Valley, encourag-ing 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 interpre-

tive 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 tour-ism 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 des-tination rather than a place they drive through on their “Circle Tour”.

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 emp-tying 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, demol-ishing the boat and sinking it. As fellow fisher-man 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 sys-tem 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.

Obesity is a very serious and ongoing health issue but while we concern ourselves with the fact of obe-sity, 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 mea-sure 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 depres-sion, food shortages led to reduced con-sumption 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 coun-tries, but it had soon spread to middle-income 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 high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS).

This product is a very sweet by-prod-uct of waste corn, and in the 1970s, it was incredibly cheap. This led to substituting HFCS for traditional sugars as a sweetener in pro-cessed foods. In turn, this led to a massive increase in the quan-tities of cheaper food showing up in super-markets. 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 con-cern 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 glu-cose 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 natu-rally in all fruits. It also occurs in high-fructose 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 work-ing… 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

sugar is linked with weight loss, and eat-ing more is linked with weight gain. A new review of pub-lished studies (New Zealand) lends sup-port 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 prob-lems. The solution, of course, was to intro-duce low-fat prod-ucts in all food cat-egories. 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.

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 suspi-cious early-morning fire destroyed its main community build-ing, 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 see-ing how we can get through it in a posi-tive 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 suspend-ed youth summer camps run out of the library and made it difficult for the rough-ly 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 build-ing, which also hous-es 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 seek-ing donations for immediate assistance to those most in need via the website RebuildBellaBella.tumblr.com.

Canada Post is try-ing to set up an alter-nate place to deliver mail and the band is working to get dona-tions of books deliv-ered, 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 busi-nesses and organiza-tions 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 com-munity. We have to look at people who were supporting their families.”

A downtown burg-er BBQ kicked off the opening of the Bright Red Book Shelf on July 25. Bright Red Book

Shelves will be found at the Bella Coola Co-op, Hagensborg Mercantile, the Hagensborg Post

Office, Healthy Beginnings, the Nuxalk Band Office and the New Leaf Learning Centre.

The goal is to increase book owner-ship, which will also make children better readers at an early

age. Reading with children is fun and a great activity anytime of the day, especially in the summer.

The Bright Red Book Shelves are places to re-cycle your “gently used”

books and take a used one home designed in mind for ages 0-6 years - even pre-0! If you really like a book, you may keep it or you can return it to any Bright Red Book Shelf and choose

another one. Books you donate will be labelled and sorted. (Volunteers are wel-come to join us for this task!) No chil-dren's book should ever be lonely, so send one to a new home!

2014 Bella Coola Music Festival enjoyed by community


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 mar-tyrs 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

to cross the lands of the Unist'ot'en clan of the Wetsuweten. They face also the spectre of new cop-per 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 pre-served 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 tradi-tional 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, ber-rying grounds redis-

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 gar-den holds its ground. Trusted allies now watch over the terri-tory while the family brings word to neigh-boring 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 tres-pass, 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 block-ade 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 frack-gas pipelines are allowed to pass, the infrastructure will be in place to lay pipe for Enbridge,” said Toghestiy. “By defend-ing our lands against bitumen and frack-gas pipelines, we are

also defending the lands of communities upstream in the frack-ing 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 tak-ing 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 indus-trial expansion in a planned day of action on August 14. “This doesn't necessarily mean holding signs and picketing gov-ernment offices. It might mean taking meaningful direct action against the cor-porations 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 salm-on 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 gov-ernment, but was glad to be able to contrib-ute 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 dis-cussions on strategy and tactics.

Freda Huson, spokesperson for the Unist'ot'en, had parting words for the people of Bella Coola. “These cor-porations 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 alli-ances now so we can call upon each other for support when the time comes.”

SUBMITTED BY COLEEN FRASER

A joint effort by numerous agencies resulted in an early Christmas for many victims of last fall’s tremendous flood. At the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure office in Williams Lake, Leanna Illinicki and Loreen Russell organized a project that substituted their usual staff gift exchange in favour of buying gifts for flood-affected families.

In addition to the Ministry of Transportation’s generos-ity, other BCGEU employees from various provincial minis-tries including the Corrections Branch, Client Services Branch,Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Forests and Range, Ministry of Agriculture and Lands, and the Integrated Land Management Bureau took part in the project, as did their union.Interior Roads, Dawson Construction, Triton Environmental and Binnie

Associates donated $4,000 to the Flood Relief Bank account to be used for firewood, furnace fuel and hay.Many people purchased specific items that families had indicated their children would appreciate including bikes, hel-mets, skates, board games and clothing.

Leanna loaded two pick-up trucks with the gifts and deliv-ered them to Bella Coola where volunteers used the Mormon Church Hall to organize and distribute them. Employees

at the Williams Lake hospital also sent gifts to the valley via Beeline Courier.Earlier that week Michel Bazille (CEO of the Bella Coola Hospital), and some of the hos-pital staff delivered gift blankets that had been donated to flood affected households, which had been donated by Vancouver Coastal Health employees in Vancouver.

The Bella Coola Flood Restoration Committee was also able to organize two vol-unteer work crews that assisted

local householders in from mid October through November and December. The first group to arrive was a six-person crew from the Mennonite Disaster Service. Hosed at the Community Church in Hagensborg these men helped fourteen householders with cleanup and reconstruction during the nine days that they were in the valley.In mid-November volun-
