an Aboriginal Peoples Choice Music Award for Best Blues Album, and Native American Music Award for Best pop album in 2010.

Jason and Pharis Romero, a husband and wife duo hailing from Horsefly, reminded me of a time long ago, when life was harder, but simpler. When after a long day working in fields, you can final-ly come home to relax on your porch in the mountains, pull out your guitar and banjo and play a few tunes to welcome the moon into the sky.

For the kids, the Kerplunks were

definitely the best children’s entertain-ers I’ve seen in a long time. They were all about fun, and had the children transfixed and dancing. Their infectious humor and great lyrics were hard to resist, even for the adults.

Caley and Nikki Watts serenaded us with their original compositions, and along with Crystal Schooner, a gifted hip hop artist and member of the First Ladies Crew, lent their angel voices to the Earth Tones and Native Voices Workshops. Tom Hammer displayed great talent with his original fingerstyle and flat-picking arrangements. Chris and Lance Nelson shared with us their drum-

ming and a piece of their culture with the Nuxalk Welcome.

Weaving through the whole event, just as much a part of the entertainment as the musicians, were Mortal Coil, the fabulously costumed stilt walkers, and The Green Man. Their presence cre-ated a sense of myth and magic to the whole weekend. They attracted children like the Pied Piper and it was fascinat-ing to watch the kids, their little round eyes filled with wonder at these mythic creatures: ten foot tall frogs, eagles, or flamenco dancers gracefully striding through the crowd.

Clevor Trevor inspired laughter

between sets and on the grounds with his silly antics, juggling feats, humorous discourse, and of course, his unicycle!

Many thanks go out to all of our local volunteers who work tirelessly through-out the year, andto our sponsors and funders: without you this festival could not happen!

Let’s keep supporting this event so we can enjoy it for years to come. The Discovery Coast Music Festival Committee is always looking for new volunteers If you’d like to be part of it, contact Monica Tutt, Susan O’Neill or Fawn Blake, or email [email protected].

TO THE EDITOR

For the past number of years I have been working on bringing the public endangerment and safety issues of Highway 20, the section of this road known as "The Hill," to the attention of the government.

I recognize that there are many pri-orities and demands on government. However, following the recent discovery of a vehicle over the edge of this road that had been there for some unknown time with a person's body inside, cou-pled with recent rock slides, this section of the road is again unfortunately in the news. I must again bring to the atten-tion of my government that this road in its existing state is very questionable as a safe, year-round main BC thorough-fare.

My deep and very sincere concern is that over a period of time, with emer-gency governmental spending on this road, the government will increasingly find it difficult to study alternate and safer locations. This road is located in a narrow canyon, is subject to unexpected weather conditions, has no edge of the road protection, has grades of up to 18%, and climbs 3900 feet to reach the plateau.

The recent rock slides re-emphasize the need for a thorough financial evalu-ation of this existing route as a long-term, safe highway site. With this letter, I am asking my government to initiate an immediate study regarding the poten-tial cost of developing this route into a permanent safe highway, not including costs associated with any emergency road safety spending.

If this is going to be the permanent route into the Bella Coola Valley, the government needs to establish exactly what the potential long term costs will be, rather than spending unreservedly into a potential money pit. These future developmental costs need to be known regarding the financial practicality of this existing route.

An alternate route to achieve the plateau is available with an elevation difference of 1300 feet rather than 3900 feet. I would be very pleased to provide the information about the alternate route, and further elaborate on all of the known public safety issues of this exist-ing route, if so requested. I have been a traveler on this route since 1957.

Sincerely yours,Doug Wilson, Williams Lake, BC

Reader concerned about integrity of current land route into Bella Coola Valley

BY CHRISTINA BOUCHER

It’s about 5000 km to Ottawa. For most of us, that’s just too far to travel, especially when we know the water out there isn’t going to taste as good as it does where we live. That’s why we send this guy: Nathan Cullen, Member of Parliament represent-ing the Skeena-Bulkley Valley riding.

Cullen was in the Valley this past week-end, chatting with local stakeholders in the Valley Restaurant, meeting with local governing bodies in town, and enjoy-ing the show at the Discovery Coast Music Festival. I met with him in order to get his perspective on some hot topics central to our region.

The Skeena-Bulkley Valley riding is one of the largest in the country, at 323,720 square km. This area includes the western half of the Bella Coola Valley, whereas the eastern half (from Augsburg church) is considered part of

the Cariboo-Prince George riding.

“The Valley should be represented by one riding or the other – it shouldn’t be divided in two,” says Cullen. “Elections Canada is supposed to go over a realignment of the seats over the next few years.”

“What I’ll be advo-cating for is to make the riding inclusive of residents of Highway 20 up to the Hill to make sure that people are consistently repre-sented. We get loads of letters from people in the Valley outside of the riding because they see me at differ-ent events and get to know me. I choose to work on these people’s behalf, because I’m here and the issues are common across the riding line.”

With such a large number of communi-ties to represent in the Skeena-Bulkley riding, just how con-sistently is Bella Coola represented? Cullen responds that the coastal communities are united by their remoteness.

“People in my rid-

ing share a common purpose and a com-mon request: con-nectivity. Being able to feel like you’re in touch and not ignored.

“I find people in general care about some pretty common things. It’s afford-ability, it’s the hope of having a decent job, and decent services: education and health. When I’m out doing community service, those are the consis-tent issues, and the layers that go on top of that will be depen-dent on whether I’m in a fishing village, or I’m in a place that ranches, or where the economy is based on something else.”

One of the major issues Cullen con-cerns himself with in Parliament is the Enbridge pipeline project, and the associated threat of offshore supertanker traffic on the Coast. The Enbridge project has three components: the expansion of the oil sands, the install-ment of 1100 km of pipeline over nearly 1100 rivers in BC, and offshore traffic of

nearly 250 supertank-ers. The official NDP position on this issue is that the environ-mental risks outweigh any potential eco-nomical benefits for Canadians, especially British Columbians and Albertans living in the watersheds target-ed for pipeline instal-lation and supertanker traffic.

What does this proj-ect mean for people in Bella Coola? Beyond issues of the threat to our natural environ-ment by an event such as an oil spill, Cullen highlights the issue of rural Canada’s lack of a voice in regard to the Enbridge project.

“In any of these projects, local com-munities have some small input but no real influence, and that’s something that we want to change. Enbridge puts your way of life at risk, and you have no say in it whatsoever. So you need to have say. If there’s oil washing up on your shores in the middle of salmon season, you cannot be compensated for that. For tourism, there is no way to bring people back to this valley when you are known as the next Valdez.

“It seems strange to me that while being put at risk, the govern-ment doesn’t even feign curiosity as to how you feel about that risk. I believe that there should be no decision making without consultation, and there is absolutely no consultation here. I still want people to go and testify, but there should never be any illusions that the gov-ernment is listening, because they’re not.”

Beyond the nation-al issue of Enbridge, Cullen notes other issues that are impor-tant to Valley resi-dents: flood mitigation plans, the state of the local economy, and

infrastructure such as the Hill.

“I’m a big believer in a Valley-wide plan for flood mitigation,” says Cullen. “I’m hearing that things have changed, with the river up Valley, and the forest on the plateau after the pine beetle, and our think-ing had to change with this. We can’t base our planning for the future on information that was used in the past.”

Cullen notes that the question of what to do about the Hill gets raised every time he visits the Valley.

“If people want to open up a conversa-tion about the road as far as options go, I want to be an advo-cate for what the com-munity wants. Any alternative routes, any different plans would be expensive, but there’s also a danger and an expense to having an inconsistent route in place now.

“In terms of who starts the conversa-tion, it always starts with a few people sit-ting in a coffee shop saying whether this is a good idea and whether they’re com-mitted to seeing some-thing happen. There’s lots of opinions I understand, there’s no consensus avail-able – that shouldn’t be the goal. But if there’s a feeling that the majority of folks are heading in a direc-tion on some project, I usually engage in that point, when people start putting some proposals together and need funding or political support. For something big, if you want support, it needs to be not just an indi-vidual or three people, but a lot more. That’s how anything happens – a music festival, a community centre, anything good – it’s always started by the people.”

Most residents are aware that Eagle Lodge has been for sale for some time and have wondered about what impact the new owners would have. On July 15th, Eagle Lodge officially changed hands: local couple Jennifer and James Taylor announced themselves as the new owners and moved into the Lodge.

Jennifer and James had often joked around about purchasing Eagle Lodge, and always knew that the busi-ness and property would be a perfect fit for their family. They soon came to real-ize that their dream could quite easily be a reality, and now are the proud owners of some of the most luxurious accommo-dations in the Bella Coola Valley.

Together Jennifer and James have over 37 years of com-bined experience in the tourism and hospitality indus-try. James moved to Bella Coola in 2008 where he has worked most recently as a travel consultant for Tweedsmuir Travel. James previously owned and oper-ated Finca Bosque, a guesthouse and restaurant in Guatemala.

Jennifer is a long time resident of Bella Coola and

well known for her expertise as a Chef and Pastry Chef. She has 18 years of experience and is proud of her train-ing in fine dining. Many people will remember the popu-lar Artisan Bakery, which Jennifer oper-ated in downtown Bella Coola. For the past 5 years, Jennifer has owned and oper-ated Cooks Cuisine Artisan Bakery and Catering.

The Eagle Lodge dining room, which will be extended to include outside seat-ing, is currently serv-ing Lodge guests with a full breakfast menu, packed lunches and evening specials. Jennifer, using local produce wherever possible, prepares all meals. The din-ing room hosts an impressive display of local artwork and photography.

“Jen’s cooking is back by popular demand,” confirmed James. Locals will be

pleased to hear that the dining room will be open to the public for dinners 7 days a week from August 12th. The menu will offer a selection of west coast cuisine, a fusion of traditional and ethnic dishes, a range of tantaliz-ing appetizers, and Jennifer’s renowned freshly baked pas-tries and delicious desserts. Dinner is by reservation only, please ring to make a booking.

“All that’s left to do is put our own sig-nature on this busi-ness,” stated James. “All the services and pricing will remain the same.” We will see minor changes in the near future such as a new wooden sign replacing the existing one on Hwy 20. The new sign is carved by Richard Ratcliff and highlights the new logo designed by James.

James expressed his interest in col-laborating with local

tour guides and has put together packages utilizing “the best, licensed, insured guides.” In 2012, Eagle Lodge hopes to collaborate with local businesses to launch a wedding package.

“The former own-ers have built a great relationship with our overseas and domes-tic tour operators and we are committed to ensuring top quality service that remains reliable and con-sistent,” comments James.

Previous owners Rosemary and Jim Smart will remain in the Bella Coola valley and Jim will continue to operate as a realtor. You can continue to contact Rosemary regard-ing the Hagensborg Water District.

If you have any questions or if you would like to make a dinner reservation, give Jennifer or James a call at Eagle Lodge at (250) 799-5587.

SUBMITTED BY: CARIBOO CHILCOTIN COAST INVASIVE PLANT COMMITTEE

The flagging tape you see on those big, leafy green plants marks all the Japanese knotweed that has been found in the valley. Knotweed is an invasive plant; it is from Asia and does not belong here. It can rapidly grow in

any moist open habi-tat, where it out-com-petes native plants and for light, moisture and nutrients. There are no natural preda-tors or diseases here to keep it in check.

Knotweed is ranked among the world’s “100 worst” invasive species. It is a highly aggres-sive plant that has entrenched itself along the banks of many coastal BC streams. It grows

extremely fast, often crowding out native vegetation and alter-ing the landscape. It spreads mainly through its exten-sive root system and new colonies can also sprout from small plant frag-ments. Dispersal can occur along streams, through untreated fill and soil movement, and on people, boats, and cars.

Its extensive canopy excludes native plants and trees from growing due to shade, com-petition for moisture and nutrients, and its dense litter mass. The loss of native riparian vegetation and the inability of grasses, sedges and trees to reproduce under a knotweed canopy can cause a decrease in food and habitat for fish.

Each winter, the entire plant collapses on itself and other surrounding plants. The sparse winter canopy exposes bare soil making stream banks more vulner-able to erosion. In addition, the exten-

sive root system lacks true root hairs neces-sary to bind and hold in place stream bank soil.

During peak flow events, banks erode, resulting in sedimen-tation that impacts human water quality and fish populations. Flood events can worsen the spread of knotweed by dislodg-ing and carrying stem and root material downstream, where they can establish a new infestation. Large infestations of knotweed can inten-sify flooding by fill-ing river and stream channels with its large stalks, thus clogging water flow through channels.

Knotweed creates impassable walls and blocks access to riv-ers for wildlife and humans. This reduc-es habitat quality and foraging opportunities for wildlife. Theses impassable walls can restrict fishing, hunt-ing and recreational access to rivers for humans.

Infrastructure and other amenity value are affected by knot-

weed’s rapid and per-sistent growth. It can grow through small cracks in pavement, concrete or drainage structures, reducing structural integrity of public infrastructure.

Knotweed is a safe-ty concern as it reduc-es highway sightlines and roadside visibil-ity. If embedded into riprap (rock structures placed to build up the stream banks in the

valley), it is impossi-ble to control without completely removing the structures.

There are signifi-cant costs associated with removal and control of knotweed. Land values are or will be negatively impacted, if the land is knotweed infested. An information brochure reached all mailboxes in the valley that outlines

management options to control this plant in your backyard.

Without prompt and vigorous action, knotweed will over-take riverbanks, dis-place native habitat, and damage the sce-nic and recreational quality of our pristine valley. Join us in August to learn more about this plant and help us to manage the infestations.

Following nearly two years of work to repair damage to the Centennial Pool in Hagensborg, the Centennial Pool Commission is very pleased to confirm that the pool is once again operational and open to the public.

Two separate floods (October 2009 and September 2010) caused sig-nificant damage to the concrete pool tank and plumb-ing, as well as to the land surrounding and underlying the pool, causing insta-bility and cracking to the tank. Efforts last year to repair the damage caused by flooding in the fall of 2009 were hampered by the fact that hydrologi-cal action beneath the pool had created a void that allowed settling once the pool was refilled with water.

Repair of the tank was further made difficult by the high groundwater table in the area that pre-vented drainage of the pool in order to seal cracks in the concrete. Starting in early May of this year, more repairs were undertaken, along with re-engi-neering of the drain system and pump-ing several yards of semi-solid concrete under the tank to provide the stability required. Damage to the plumbing that resulted from last September’s flood meant that portions of the pool deck had to be removed in order to expose and repair the pipes.

Rick Jelley with New Waves Pool and Spa in Williams Lake oversaw the repairs both this year and last, making many trips to the Valley as well as liaising with engineering and public health pro-fessionals to ensure

the final permits to operate were issued.

On behalf of the Central Coast Regional District, I would like to offer my sincere appre-ciation to those dedicated volun-teers who worked so hard to ensure the pool opened this year. As the regional district’s board rep-resentative to the Centennial Pool Commission, which oversees the opera-tion of the pool, I can attest first hand to the effort that was required to return our damaged pool to good working order.

Pauline Russell, Karen Lansdowne, Joan Cole, Nicola Koroluk, Margaret Nash, and Brad Koroluk comprise the Centennial Pool Commission. All of these individu-als worked relent-lessly to ensure a positive outcome. In addition to the commissioners, who

work year-round to ensure that the recreational, educa-tional and employ-ment opportunities the pool offers are available, a number of other individu-als freely offer their services on a regular basis.

Over many years, the Centennial Pool Commission has benefited from the expertise and commitment of Coleen Fraser, who continues to train staff as lifeguards and swim instruc-tors. For decades, the late Jim Newkirk worked to ensure the mechanical end of pool operations ran smoothly. Like his father, Garrett Newkirk gives his time to keep the pumps and furnaces running. Following the completion of repairs this summer, Croyden Lansdowne and Don MacKay volunteered their time and equip-ment to clean up the

facilities in prepara-tion for the July 25th opening.

The efforts of our pool staff, led by manager Janice Newkirk, also deserve mention. We’re pleased to have a number of staff return again this year, even though last year’s unfortunate season cancellation meant that staff, most of whom are students, missed out on an important summer employment oppor-tunity. The begin-ning of this season saw staff undertake a variety of tasks, well outside the range of their usual duties.

It’s been a long haul but our amaz-ing volunteers have managed to oversee the restoration of our community pool for the benefit of us all. Thank you for your dedication to this valuable public facility!

Centennial Pool Re-opens

Rosemary Bonanno, Vancouver Island Regional Library, VIRL's executive director, said that customers have been asking for improve-ments to the website.

"During last year's strategic planning process our customers frequently mentioned the need for a more user-centred and intuitive website with improved functionality and a more user-friendly on-line catalogue system," Bonanno said.

"We've reorganized a lot of the existing con-tent on the site and implemented a number of features that provide added functionality. Earlier this spring we launched the new cata-logue system, and we rolled out the new web-site last week," she added.

The new website uses colourful feature blocks to ease navigation to frequently used web pages, and “Using the Library” gets people to just about everything they need to know about the library-from tips on the catalogue and how to get a library card, to opening hours, downloadable books, book club sets, special collections, assistive services and more.

Ask a Librarian allows customers to contact a librarian by email or toll-free phone num-ber 1-877-415-VIRL (8475) for information on books, movies, homework help, e-resources with animated books for kids, etc.

Bonanno said that customers like the new catalogue and website and, for those who need help navigating through the new site, there is assistance available at all 38 branches of Vancouver Island Regional Library.

The library's new website can be visited at www.virl.bc.ca.

The Chairs of nine coastal Regional Districts met with Blair Lekstrom, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI), on July 19th to give voice to the adverse impact of BC Ferry Corporation fare increases and to encourage the Minister to initiate a major revision of the Coastal Ferry Act.

The meeting was organized by Colin Palmer, Chair of the Powell River Regional District, and included Regional District Chairs and Vice Chairs from Metro Vancouver to Victoria to Bella Coola. Together, this group of diverse Regional Districts represents 2.9 million British Columbians or 63% of the provincial popula-tion.

“It is significant to see nine diverse Regional Districts come together with a clear message for the Province: improve

coastal ferry service in BC,” said Colin Palmer, Chair of the Powell River Regional District.

“We know that fares have been escalating since the BC Coastal Ferry Act was put in place in 2003. We also know that families and businesses in each of our regions–from those on small islands to those in the Metro Vancouver and Victoria areas—are being impacted by increases. We need to ensure that coastal British Columbian families and busi-nesses can survive. As a group, our collective intent is to support the Minister in consider-ation of all options to improve coastal ferry service.”

The coastal Regional District Chairs advised the Minister that the original objectives of the Coastal Ferry Act have not been met. The group presented evidence of the ways in which increasing

fares are damaging island and coastal communities and asked the Province to develop more appro-priate oversight tools for the delivery of coastal ferry services. Members of the group also presented the concept that ferry service could be con-sidered an extension of highway service, which could require that it be treated and funded in the same manner as non-marine infrastructure.

“We are confident that the Minister understands the importance of this issue and is convinced that fare increases cannot continue as planned,” said Lois Jackson, Chair of Metro Vancouver. The nine coastal Chairs will request meetings with the BC Ferry Commissioner and the Premier, and have offered to continue to be part of the essential improvements to the coastal ferry service in British Columbia.

The Farmers Market is a long-standing tradition in Bella Coola. From 10am to 12pm every Sunday during summer, locals and visitors head to the market located at the Fair Grounds, in the Quonset Hut on Highway 20.

The weekly market is a prime destination for visitors to socialize with locals and support Bella Coola’s econ-omy. It is also a meeting place for locals where many come to mingle and enjoy a coffee and muffin from the market café.

The Market draws a following for its fresh seasonal produce, homemade goodies, and arts and crafts. Customers take pleasure in the chance to wander leisurely, stopping to engage with other patrons and search out the market's best buys. For the vendors and customers who frequent the Farmers Market, the season is about cultivating a deeply rooted sense of commu-nity, as well as some of the best produce around.

There is an array of tantalizing treats available each Sunday: home baked goods including muffins, tarts and cookies, bread, fruit loaves, jams and jellies. So far, the market has seen fresh produce such as lettuce, turnips, chard, spinach, and radishes. This week, long time vendor Connie Nygaard was able to supply broccoli and cauliflower and her cabbage will be ready for this upcoming Sunday’s market.

Local artist vendors include residents Keiko Stewart and Lucille Thompson, who display oil and watercolor paintings along with pen and ink drawings. Brenda and

Keith Smart of Kes Crafts offer a collection of wooden crafts including Keith’s hand carved boxes that feature handmade wooden hinges. Brenda boasts a large col-lection of quilts, crochet hats and clothing, and knitted crafts including her adorable miniature bears.

Brenda Sandford shows off her large variety of framed wildlife prints, and her unique painted conks. Also on display are her quilts and handmade dolls, and daughter Donna’s wire wrapped jewelry. Terry Diehl also offers a beautiful collection of handmade jewelry showcasing crystals and fossils. Terry says, “I am able to keep my prices low because I source my materials worldwide at little cost.” This is obviously true when you see the gorgeous cowry fossil necklace for only $20! Her work is astounding, and a must see at the market.

Wilma Hallam will be happy to tell you about her fabric postcards: they’re very popular with tourists, and have been posted around the globe. Wilma also has an assortment of quilts, gift bags, craft books, yarn and fab-ric for sale.

Hanging with Wilma’s quilts is art piece, “The Land Is Sacred, A Cultural Duet”. It’s a mixed media piece including carvings and fabric work that is a collabora-tion between Wilma, Don and Marcia Wadhams, and Taryn Nygaard. The piece shows the Nuxalk story about the calling back of the salmon each year and it’s quite extraordinary.

The Bella Coola Valley Sustainable Agriculture Society has a presence at the market each Sunday. They are there to promote and educate about food security

in the Bella Coola Valley. Dayna Chapman is full of information and there are also brochures and giveaway seeds available.

Most people are aware that the bad weather this summer has caused a poor growing season. In the past, on a good day approximately 60 people would attend the Farmers’ Market. Terry Diehl comments, “We have had vendors pull out this year because they just don’t have anything to sell due to the bad weather.” However, she did go on to say that attendance has been about the same as last year. Connie Nygaard has had steady busi-ness so far, mainly due to her loyal customers, although unfortunately she lost a huge supply of jam in last Septembers’ flood.

The flavor of the fresh food from the Farmers Market is far superior than store bought produce, but buying from local farms has even more perks. Buying locally can bring more money into the community, and is healthier for you and your family. Farmers’ Markets allow people to know how and where their food is grown.

Support the Farmers Market! Eat locally grown foods, chat to vendors, go and learn about small businesses in Bella Coola, and get a sampling of the fine arts and crafts available in the valley.

The Market runs until September 30th and welcomes home producers as well as farmers and community artisans who want to become vendors. Please contact Diane Tuck on (250) 799-5681 if you are interested or would like further information.

The Farmer’s Market continues to be successful for local vendors
