Charges laid against six people in Anahim Lake double homicideBY CAITLIN THOMPSON

Last month’s shocking murders in Anahim Lake have resulted in six charges being laid against four men and two women.

Just before midnight on December 26, 2014, the Anahim Lake RCMP received a report of gunshots fired at a home in the 2100 block of Dorsey Road where Matthew Hennigar, 23, and Kalvin Andy, 22, were discovered deceased.

The brutal crime has brought grieving to multiple families, relatives, and friends of both the deceased and those charged. Many of the accused are from Bella Coola or have strong ties to the community.

Everett O’Reilly, 27, is charged with two counts first-degree mur-

der. Charged with two counts of second-degree murder are Serena Rhem, 26, Andrew Jongbloets, 25, and Christian Craciun, 28. Lucille Mack, 33, and Steven Mecham, 22, have been charged with two counts of manslaughter using a firearm.

As the incident is now before the courts, RCMP are releasing very few details about the crime but they did issue a statement looking for information on the whereabouts of O’Reilly, Rhem, Jongbloets, and Craciun from the time of the murders to their apprehension the following morning.

All those arrested and those killed were known to one another, although their relationships and the motive for the killings are still under investigation.

The leadership of both the Nuxalk and Ulkatcho Nations has asked for privacy for the families and therefore little is being said publicly about the victims.

Both Hennigar and Andy were born in Bella Coola and raised alongside one another as their parents were close friends. Hennigar resided in Anahim Lake where Andy often visited him; such was the case over the Christmas holidays.

Eulogies depicted the two as “good friends” who enjoyed the same activities. They were described as similar in nature “both quiet and kind-hearted boys with a great love for the outdoors, adventure, and mechanics.” Hennigar’s obitu-ary described how he hunted his first moose at age 11, and Andy’s

obituary spoke of his love of fish-ing, especially with his grandpar-ents. Hennigar leaves behind a 14-month old son.

With the exception of Lucille Mack, all of the accused have prior charges or convictions: some of them lengthy.

O’Reilly, whose legal name is Bryan Everett, has prior convic-tions for robbery, stealing a vehi-cle, assault causing bodily harm and mischief.

Andrew Jongbloets has 60 convictions dating back to 2007 including uttering threats, assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm and break and enter. Almost all of these convictions are from Port Coquitlam and Vancouver.

Rhem pled guilty this month in Abbotsford to possession for the

purpose of trafficking, possessing a prohibited weapon and pos-session of a controlled substance and will be sentenced at a later date. Mecham and Craciun each have minor convictions relating to driving offenses and theft, respec-tively.

All of the accused have since made preliminary court appear-ances on their recent charges. Mecham has since been released on a $5000 bail. Mack’s bail had not been completed as of press time.

A publication ban has now been imposed on the case. Understandably, the crime has shaken both communities to the core. In a joint press release both Nations asked for privacy as they begin to focus on healing.

“The Ulkatcho and Nuxalk Nations are working together to heal from this tragic event. We are asking media to respect our wishes for privacy and space in this time of healing,” said Ulkatcho Nation Chief Zach Parker. “We are thank-

ful for our strong part-nerships and all those who have supported us, and hope to share our story with other Nations on the path of healing from events like this in the future.”

Both communi-ties are receiving crisis support bring-ing together commu-nity leadership and

health liaisons, staff from Interior Health Authority, Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, First Nations Emergency Services, Provincial Health Services Authority’s BC Provincial Emergency Disaster Psychosocial Program, and RCMP Victim Services to ensure public safety

and counseling servic-es are available at the community level.

The First Nations Health Authority (FNHA) Crisis Response Protocol and mental health service coordination were

enacted quickly on the ground in both com-munities soon after the event.

“Our hearts are with the Ulkatcho and Nuxalk communities,” said Dr. Evan Adams, Chief Medical Officer

with the First Nations Health Authority. “When events like this happen, all families are impacted, and we are eager to help as best we can over the com-ing while.”

Family members

and local Chiefs have stated they will con-tinue to focus their energies on commu-nity priorities related to supporting the families impacted and at this time will not be speak-ing with media.

The Bella Coola Valley Sustainable Agricultural Society is pleased to announce the Gary Runka Memorial Bursary, which sponsors one Valley resident per year to attend the annual conference of the BC Food Systems Network. As a longtime, devoted Director of the BCVSAS, Gary worked tirelessly to strengthen local food systems and prioritize the needs and wellbe-ing of our community.

His lifelong dedica-tion and commitment to sound land use

planning included his visionary participa-tion in the founding of the Agricultural Land Reserve. Gary was a leader, mentor and friend. This bursary honours his passionate commitment to sus-tainable agriculture and food systems, and his deep respect for grass-roots, community-level action.

The BC Food Systems Network exists to link people all over the province involved in community-level action related to food, highlighting the way

food issues cross cul-tures, sectors, and age groups. It encom-passes a very broad and diverse membership, including farmers, fish-ers, harvesters, hunters, processors, academics, civil servants, activ-ists, retailers, emer-gency food providers, public health, educa-tors, workers, and more.

With strong support for and participation from Indigenous food systems advocates, as well as a solid repre-sentation from remote communities, the Network has provided

an important avenue for collaboration and empowerment. (A notable success that

grew out of Network collaboration was the genesis of the amend-ment to the meat inspection regulations.)

This emphasis on cross-sectional col-laboration and genuine commitment to find-ing solutions make the Network’s annual gathering an ideal part-ner for the Gary Runka Memorial Bursary.

The first recipient of the bursary, local super-volunteer Rhonda Coles, attended the gathering this past summer in Sorrento, BC. “People were really

nice and inviting,” Coles reported. “I went to a lot of workshops and panels that had great ideas that would work here.” Coles attended a recent meeting of the Board of the BCVSAS, and presented a thor-ough report of the highlights of her learn-ing and their potential for application in the Valley.

The BCVSAS hopes that the bursary will allow more Bella Coola Valley residents to participate in the pro-vincial movement for food sovereignty. This

will reduce isolation, provide an opportunity to make connections to the wider food system, and bring new ideas and energy to solving some of our local food system challenges, as well as sharing our homegrown solutions with the world.

For more informa-tion about the Gary Runka Memorial Bursary, please contact Liz Howard at [email protected]. To learn more about the BC Food Systems Network, visit www.fooddemocracy.org.

Two ways to save

A4 Coast Mountain News Thursday, January 15, 2015

Dear Editor,

After reading Joan Sawicki’s well written letter I felt the urge to once again complain about the fact that Tweedsmuir Park is increasingly being managed like a bear zoo, and not being managed as a place

where the average British Columbian can go and enjoy nature and wilderness.

Joan admits that the main objective behind management direc-tion in Tweedsmuir Park these days is to maintain bear refugia where shy bears can choose to forage rela-

tively undisturbed by people. She then goes onto explain that this will be achieved by controlling people’s access to the river so that people will be safe and bears will be less stressed.

My daughter visited us from Calgary last September on a hot

summer day and want-ed to go swimming at Belarko Pool just like in the old days. In the old days we would go up to Belarko, put out a towel on the beach, have a good swim or two with and without our dog and go home happy. Well this year was not fun. The min-

ute we arrived some guy ran out and told us that bears inhab-ited the area. Didn’t we know that! There were no bears to be seen anywhere, and we have known for over 25 years that bears inhabit the area.

He then com-plained that our truck might be interfering with commercial bear viewing outfits that routinely launch their rafts at this site. I explained that our car was not blocking the launch site and we had already thought about that possibility. He then yelled at us about our dog that was drinking water from the river 10 feet away. He wondered out loud why we did not know that all dogs have to be on leash in all BC Parks at all times. I asked “who are you?” and he simply told me that he worked for Parks and that was all I needed to know. We got back in our vehicle and left.

I want Joan Sawicki to know that for some of us, Tweedsmuir Park is not all about the bears. Some of us don’t care that much about the bears. We long for the days when bears ran away from people when they saw us com-ing down the river.

People like me like to enjoy Tweedsmuir Park because we like walking through the old growth forest and observing and smell-ing the plants and mushrooms and other animals there.

We enjoy Tweedsmuir Park because of the wonder-fully refreshing sensa-tion of drifting down the pristine Atnarko. We enjoy Tweedsmuir Park because of the opportunities to fish for rainbow trout and salmon and hunt deer in an old growth set-ting. Tweedsmuir Park was initially set up as a place for all people to go and enjoy a won-derfully wild British Columbia place and it functioned that way for almost a hundred years.

Bears were taught to be wary of people and there were next to no serious interactions under that manage-ment philosophy. Bear populations were healthy, deer popula-tions were healthy, moose populations were healthy, and fish populations were healthy. I miss those days.

What we are now embarking on is a new kind of social scientific experiment in Park management, that is

“let’s turn Tweedsmuir Park into a grizzly bear preserve.” Joan Sawicki pretends that there is decades of research behind what they are undertaking. That is not true. And with all scientific experiments there will be unex-pected consequences to Park’s actions.

What I fear is that her obsessive desire to preserve bears will result in never ending restrictions on people access to the Park. What is really not fair is that the general public does not get to vote on whether we want to turn Tweedsmuir Park into a bear zoo. We are just forced to accept the fact we are increas-ingly going to be told where to walk, when to walk, and how to walk in this public park.

All this under the mantra that these changes will make the bears happy; and everyone should know that ensuring bears are happy is the main operating manage-ment principle for Tweedsmuir Park in 2014. Anyways, the bears may be happier in the park these days, but I sure am not.

SincerelyHarvey

Congratulations to the SAMS boys’ basketball team for their first place finish at the Barriere Boys Jr. Cougar basketball

classic tournament. The SAMS boys went undefeated through-out the tourna-ment boasting a 4-0 record.

The stiffest competition came

from the host team Barriere. It was a nail biting, stomach wrenching, give me grey hair early kind of game against the Cougars. But we held on for a one-point

victory. The Thunder also

played very hard and proved they are be a worthy opponent. The Thunder came to compete and fought hard the entire game. Acwsalcta finished third respectfully, finishing with a 3-1 record. Tournament MVP was Christian Webber of the SAMS Grizzlies. Isaac Silver-Mack received his second consecutive All-Star award. From the Acwsalcta squad, Jonas Anderson also received an All-Star award. We now turn our attention to the upcoming zones tournament held this year in February at Tumbler Ridge, BC. Way to go boys!

Final score results were: Game 1: SAMS 56 Ashcroft 35. Game 2: SAMS 62

Pemberton 16. Game 3: SAMS 45 Barriere 44. Game 4: SAMS

50 Acwsalcta 40. Tournament MVP: Christian Webber.

All-Stars: Isaac Silver-Mack and Jonas Anderson.

Owners of nearly 2,400 properties throughout Bella Coola – West Coast area can expect to receive their 2015 assessment notices in the next few days.

“Most homes in the Bella Coola Valley are remaining stable in value compared to last year’s Assessment Roll,” said Darin Johnson, Deputy Assessor. “Most home owners in Bella Coola Valley will see modest changes in the +/- 10% range.”

Overall, the Bella Coola – West Coast Assessment Roll increased from $267 million last year to $271 million this year. Of note, a total of $3.4 million was added through subdivisions, rezoning and new construction.

“Property owners who feel that their property assessment does not reflect market value as of July 1, 2014 or see incorrect information on their notice should contact BC Assessment as indicated on their notice as soon as possible in January,” said Johnson. “If a property owner is still concerned about

their assessment after speaking to one of our appraisers, they may submit a Notice of Complaint (Appeal) by February 2, for an independent review by a Property Assessment Review Panel,” added Johnson.

The Property Assessment Review Panels, independent of BC Assessment, are appointed annually by the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, and typically meet between February 1 and March 15 to hear formal complaints.

The Cariboo assessment office is located at Suite 202 – 350 Barnard Street in Williams Lake. During the month of January, office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday. Property owners can contact BC Assessment toll-free at 1-866-valueBC (1-866-825-8322) or online by clicking “CONNECT” at www.bcassessment.ca.

Visit www.bcassessment.ca for more information about the 2015 Assessment Roll including lists of 2015’s top 100 most valuable

residential properties across the province.

Of note, BC Assessment has launched a newly-enhanced version of its free e-valueBC service that allows the general public to search, check and compare properties online from across the province. Improved navigation, an interactive map and inclusion of property street-front imagery are among the new features. Also new for 2015, BC Assessment has updated its Customer Service Standards which include commitments to be open & transparent, fair & accurate, timely & accessible, knowledgeable & respectful, and innovative & collaborative.

“Our service commitments and standards clearly indicate the level of service that you can expect from BC Assessment and ensure we focus on customer needs as we continue to deliver excellent service,” said Johnson. Follow BC Assessment on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, and LinkedIn.

DR. PAUL

MARTIQUET, MEDICAL HEALTH OFFICER

Over the course of our lifetime we each experience feelings of isolation or loneliness and emotional distress. These are just a part of life, aren’t they? We make do or find ways to cope until the situation gets better or goes away. Unfortunately, for some the duration and intensity of painful feelings or disorienting thoughts do not just go away. Instead, they inter-fere with everyday life. Their usual coping skills are overwhelmed and restoring a balance is difficult.

Mental illness will affect every one of

us. For about a fifth, they will personally experience a mental illness during their lifetime. The balance will be affected by an illness in family members or some-one close to them. There is no bias to mental illness: it affects people of all ages, educational and income levels and cultures.

Mental illnesses are characterized by alterations in thinking, mood or behaviour (or some combination) associ-ated with significant distress and impaired functioning. The symptoms vary from mild to severe depending on the type of illness, the individual and their environment.

As complex as mental illnesses are, they can be loosely

categorized into five main types.

Mood disor-ders include major depression, bipolar disorder (combin-ing episodes of both mania and depres-sion) and dysthymia (essentially a chroni-cally depressed mood). About eight percent of adults will experience major depression at some time in their lives.

Schizophrenia affects about one percent of Canadians. It is a brain disease char-acterized by symp-toms like mixed-up thoughts, delusions, hallucinations and bizarre behaviour. Like many mental illnesses, its onset is usually in early adulthood.

Everyone feels anxious in certain

situations, but people with anxiety disor-ders develop exces-sive and unrealistic feelings that interfere in their lives.

They will either avoid situations causing them anxiety or will develop com-pulsive rituals that lessen the anxiety. Anxiety disorders affect 12% of the population, caus-ing mild to severe

impairment.Personality disor-

ders include charac-teristics like difficulty getting along with others, irritability, being demanding, hostile or fearful. People will have pat-terns of behaviour deviate markedly from society’s expec-tations and remain consistent over time.

Eating disorders are another category of mental illness, one which will affect three percent of girls or women in their lifetimes. Eating disorders involve a serious disturbance in eating behaviour: either eating too much or too little. In addition, it normally leads to great con-cern over body size and shape. Eating disorders carry with them a high risk of other mental and

physical illnesses that can lead to death.

The best thing we can do is to be aware of the prevalence of mental illness and to at least understand the basic nature of it.

The stigma attached to mental illnesses presents a serious barrier not only to diagnosis and treatment but also to acceptance in the community. We should always remember that men-tal illness is just that, an illness.

And it is an illness that can be treated effectively.

Dr. Paul Martiquet is the Medical Health Officer for Rural Vancouver Coastal Health including Powell River, the Sunshine Coast, Sea-to-Sky, Bella Bella and Bella Coola.

Three Cariboo North arts, culture and heritage groups have attracted $16,000 in matching incentive funding that could leverage as much as five times that amount in busi-ness partnerships.

The program, supported by a range of private and public sector funders, including the Government of British Columbia, has proved very success-ful in communities in various regions across B.C. artsVest has already helped almost 150 small to mid-sized B.C. arts groups acquire skills and make alliances that will help them continue to make their communi-ties great places to live, work, visit and build a future. In

2013/14, artsVest BC communities raised from three to six times their match-ing grants, from local businesses.

“In rural British Columbia, arts and culture play an important role in communities by providing citizens of all ages access to cultural experiences and opportunities

for artistic inspira-tion,” said Coralee Oakes, Cariboo North MLA. “The artsVest program enjoyed a successful debut in the Quesnel region this year, helping local arts and culture organizations expand their funding base. Congratulations to all artsVest participants, organizers and local business for their

support.”“The Quesnel Art

Gallery Society is very pleased to have been pre-approved for a matching grant from artsVest BC/Business for the Arts,” said Betty (Elizabeth) Watson, Director, Quesnel Art Gallery. “Response from local business has been very good and we are hopeful that it, along

with other fund-rais-ing initiatives, will allow us to employ a staff person at the Gallery in the not too distant future.”

This year a total of 63 organiza-tions located in Prince George, the Cariboo Chilcotin, Thompson/ North Okanagan, Kelowna, the Fraser Valley and Nanaimo have quali-

fied to participate in the artsVest BC pro-gram. Cariboo North groups participating in 2014/15 are: Arts on the Fly Festival Society, Bella Coola Music Festival and Quesnel Art Gallery.

artsVest™ was developed by Business for the Arts and expanded across Canada in 2011. It is currently also

operating in Ontario, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia and Toronto.

Founded in 1974, Business for the Arts is Canada’s only national charitable organization of busi-ness members who support the arts. Our vision is to inspire Canada’s business community to part-ner with the arts to ensure a thriving cultural sector. We connect, educate and invest to bridge the gap between busi-ness and the arts.

Obituary, Thank you & CelebrationPaul Bally

Paul Bally, Age 48, taken from us to soon as a result of a hit and run while cycling on the Old Island Hwy in Fanny Bay. Devoted Father, Husband, Son, Brother, Teacher, Coach, Musician and Volunteer Fire Fighter. Paul leaves behind daughter Calixa 9yrs, son Desmond 13yrs, wife Evelyn, his parents Pierre and Denise & siblings: George, Anne-Marie, Jean and Marc. “Always walk through life as if you have something new to learn and you will” Vernon Howard.

On behalf of the Bally Family we would like to send out a heartfelt thank you to the Fanny Bay Fire Hall, Paramedics, RCMP & Victim Services for their speedy response to the tragic loss of our beloved Paul Bally. Thank you to the people courageous enough to report tips to authorities, which lead to an arrest; allowing our family to move forward in the grieving process. We are so amazed by the overwhelming support from the school, school district, local community and communities elsewhere, through flowers, food, financial contributions and words of encouragement. This support is what is keeping us going.

Paul took all safety precautions for biking: wearing a bright reflective jacket, reflectors on his pants & helmet and flashing lights on his bike. We really need the infrastructure to make our roads safe for cyclists. According to the Comox Valley Cycle Coalition www.cyclecv.com, a route safe enough for cyclists “must be comfortable to take your four-year old child or your 99 year old grandma on”. Until proper infrastructure is in place please keep your family safe.

Sincerely, Evelyn Bally

Nuxalk Nation takes part in historic paddle to Qatuwas Festival in Bella BellaBy eVanGeline hanUse

On the morning of July 9, 2014, four canoes began their journey from Bella Coola to par-take in the annual Tribal Canoe Journeys. Hosted this year by the Heiltsuk Nation of Bella Bella, it is estimated that there will be 100 canoes attending the Qatuwas Festival and 5,000 visitors going to Bella Bella for seven days of celebrating, feast-ing, and dancing.Tribal Journeys, also referred

to as Qatuwas, or ‘People Gathering Together,’ is planning to return to Bella Bella this year, 21 years after its first gathering was held in 1993. The Heiltsuk have played a key role in the resurgence of the ocean going canoe culture along the Pacific North West Coast when they first carved a canoe and paddled from Bella Bella to Vancouver for Expo 86, in 1986 and in 1989 participated in the “Paddle to Seattle”, and at this event invited other tribes to travel to

Bella Bella and hosted the 1993 Qatuwas Festival.Members of the Squamish Nation and their fellow paddlers from Hawaii towed two canoes from Vancouver, BC and were welcomed into Bella Coola by the Nuxalk Nation with a pot-luck at the Bella Coola Motel Campground. Together, they journeyed for three days with the help of support vessels, arriving in Bella Bella last weekend. Luke Mack, a skipper, who has been on several canoe

journeys, was cautious when speaking of facing the notori-ous Mesachie Nose, famous for its swirling currents and strong winds. “If the winds pick up we may have to be towed,” said Mack. To many, this canoe journey is seen as a healing opportu-nity for all involved. Cultural traditions and knowledge are being revived as traditionally Nuxalkmc were skilled naviga-tors on the water, using the ocean as a highway for trade and

attending ceremonies all across the Coast, even traveling as far as the Hawaiian Islands. Hereditary Chief Q’umulha Rhonda Sandoval is excited to partake in the experience of a lifetime with her husband, Will, and daughter Anuxum. A former commercial fisher and experi-enced diver, Sandoval is right at home on the water and is hop-ing this journey will keep the momentum going and revive the Nuxalkmc canoe culture
