On Saturday July 6, 40 Bella Coolan’s, ranging from small children to seniors, gathered at the wharf at 7am to take the Clowhom Spirit to nearby Shearwater. On a beautiful sunny morning, Dall’s por-poises playing in our wake, and eagles overhead, we shared in the camaraderie of being “The Bella Coola Contingent” for the unveiling of the Warrior Pole carved by Heiltsuk Carver/Artist, Nusi Yakuudlas ‘Ian’ Reid, the new Cenotaph, the Replica Stranraer Flying Boat weath-ervane, built by the Canadian

Museum of Flight in Langley, and the “Bella Bella – United in History” mural by acclaimed artist Paul Ygartua.

We arrived at the dock to the smell of salmon smok-ing by a huge fire pit, tended by the famed artist himself Nusi Yakuudlas Reid. “Locals, aside from just First Nations, locals period, died to protect us. The Warrior pole is dedi-cated to all the descendents, as much as it is to all those who served. It is an honour to pay homage to all of our ancestors who fought and died for what we have today.”

Hereditary Chiefs from the Heiltsuk Nation opened the

ceremonies with a traditional dance and blessing, while the Heiltsuk Youth provided the drumming and chanting. The stunning Warrior Pole, with a proud Raven at its crest, was blessed with Eagle Down and imbued with the spirit of friendship and pride through a traditional Paddle Song. The 125ft x 22ft mural, when unveiled, received a simi-lar blessing of Eagle Down, although on a much larger scale, and any descendents of those whose portraits were unveiled had time to speak at the podium about their ancestors’ accomplishments, and to share the stories of

those who influenced the development of the Denny Island area.

With almost four months to go until Remembrance Day, the bugle sounded “The Last Post,” the colours were low-ered and raised, the poppies; as bright red as the maple leaf behind them, were pinned to the fluttering flag draped over the soon to be unveiled ceno-taph, and a welcome summer breeze cooled the crowd of over 200. “Being here today means a lot to me, the signifi-cance of what all the vets did over the years, who fought and what they gave up for our country,” said Ron Richards,

Bright Red Book Shelves will be pop-ping up everywhere in the Bella Coola Valley starting 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!

The Nuxalk Band and Bella Coola RCMP have deployed a coopera-tive approach to pro-moting safe bicycle habits by the valley youth. Young persons “caught” by Bella Coola Detachment members wearing approved helmets while riding their bikes this summer will be issued tickets recognizing their safe practices.

The tickets are redeemable at the Thunderbird con-venience store on MacKenzie Street for a free slushie. Cst. Starr proposed this pro-gram with the Band and the Thunderbird and the agreement was quickly made. Funding for this pro-gram is provided by the Nuxalk Band in cooperation with the

Bella Coola RCMP Detachment and the Thunderbird.

The RCMP and our local partners wish a safe and enjoyable summer to the kids and extend this rec-ognition to those who make the effort to be safe.

Welcome everyone to the Bella Coola Music Festival!Enjoy the Bella CoolaValley!

See you at the Festival!

The Bear Aware program that has been offered in the Bella Coola Valley since 2009 has now evolved into the WildSafeBC program and although our name has changed we still have the same basic mandate, which is to reduce human-wildlife conflict through educa-tion, innovation and cooperation.

WildSafeBC is a program owned and operated by the BC Conservation Foundation (BCCF) and exists because of cooperation and funding from the pro-vincial government, the BCCF, local and regional governments and through the support of individuals and private orga-nizations. I am now in my third year with the program, and it is the community

who directs the coordinator on how they would like this program run, and how best to serve its mandate.

This year with the name change, the focus is not only on bears, but on all forms of wildlife that come into conflict with people. While bears will always be our primary focus here in the valley, we now have information to share on ani-mals such as coyotes, cougars and deer.

We have found that there are many ways to deal with things that draw wild-life on to properties here in the Valley, and the coordinator’s job is to help find solutions to these ongoing issues. One solution that has proven to be very effec-tive in other agricultural based commu-

nities in B.C. is the implementation of electric fencing.

A good and common example of its use in these communities would be in the electric fencing of a fruit tree. With the correct fence and strategy, this tool has proven to work very well not only in keeping the trees safe from bears, but also keeping bears safe from conflict.

Because of the effectiveness of this tool, recently electric fencing clinics, run by the Bella Coola Bear Working Group, have been brought in to the Valley. A measurable result has been the new implementation of several electric fenc-es, and many more planned.

As a tried and tested strategy when it

comes to protecting a property owner’s garden and fruit trees as well as the wild-life that surrounds it, we look forward to more electric fence installations going up this year, along with other means that promote a healthy co-existence with the wildlife in our community. If anyone needs help or further information on this program please call me (Ellie 250 957 8445) and I will come over with some ideas.

Thank you community members of the Bella Coola Valley, for the oppor-tunity to serve you once again this year through the use of a Bella Coola styled WildSafeBC program! Have a great sum-mer!

The Bella Coola RCMP detachment has a new member, Constable Mark Van

Wieringen. Originally from Lindsay, Ontario, Cst. Van Wieringen spent the last four years in Mackenzie, B.C.

“My first post-ing was Mackenzie, and we had a great time there,” said Van Wieringen. “But when it was time to move,

Bella Coola was our first choice.” Having visited the Valley sev-eral years ago with his family, they fell in love with the place.

“We absolutely loved it here,” said Van Wieringen. “My family and I spent a week camping and enjoyed every minute.” With hob-bies like fishing and outdoor sports, the Valley seemed to be

the perfect fit.Although Van

Wieringen is tasked to general duty, he says one of his main passions on the job is stopping impaired drivers. Last year, he was awarded a certificate from the family of four year-old Alexa Middelear, who was killed by a drunk driver in Delta in 2010.

“If you stop 13 or

more impaired driv-ers a year, you are awarded with the cer-tificate from Alexa’s family,” said Van Wieringen. “For me personally, stopping impaired drivers is a very important part of my duties.”

Constable Van

Wieringen will be in Bella Coola for at least two years, and he encourages the community to stop and introduce them-selves. “It’s a pleasure to be here,” he says. “I am really looking forward to working in this community.”

Many Valley residents have been enjoying the pool this sum-mer. We have seen a great start with attendance for our Red Cross swimming lessons, and a number of youth in the valley have been participating in Lifesaving awards such as Bronze Star and Bronze Cross. These young people will hopefully be our future lifeguards and instructors! However, the recent weeks have also seen some frustrations in regards to unscheduled pool closures.

As we all know Centennial Pool is aging, built in 1967 it is in its 46th year! Much of the infrastructure has been pieced together over the years with the help of the CCRD and funding as it becomes available. Each year we do our best to make improve-ments, this year saw the creation of a new undercover viewing area, smoother and safer cement deck-ing as well as a new pump.

However new challenges seem to arise with every coming year as well and replacement parts can be very costly and take time to arrive in the valley. Staff have been working hard to maintain the pool and to keep closures to a minimum. Any closures that are made are necessary in maintain-ing proper pool chemistry and a high level of safety for our pool users.

We realize that unplanned closures can be both inconve-nient and irritating to members of the public and apologize for this however we are doing the very best we can with the fund-ing we have. It is always a good idea to give the pool a call (250-982-2488) prior to coming to confirm our hours. We hope that the Valley residents and visitors continue to enjoy and use this wonderful service that is available to our community.

Kurt Edgar and family were on hand for the unveiling. I asked him about the relationships during this time, as his-torically it was well known as being bad between the govern-ment and the Native People. “The rela-tionship between

Herb Sr. and the air force crew was really good. We seven children were named after his fel-low servicemen, and the army was good to our family,” said Edgar. “When our father passed away in 2008, the army reimbursed the Squamish Band for all the transpor-tation and accom-modation costs they had provided for our family, and the costs to transport our father home. They really stood behind us and our family.”

The Edgar family had a photograph of Herb Sr. in uniform, a young man, no more than 18, smil-ing and proud to

be of service to the country. (The Edgar family would like to gratefully acknowl-edge the assistance of Cheryl Billy of the Squamish Nation for facilitating the Army reimbursement)

Vera Robson and family were there representing the four surviving generations of the Clayton family, with three generations attending. John Clayton (1842-1910), one of the 17 por-traits chosen to be on the new mural, is Bill Robson’s great-grandfather. Clayton was the first immigrant land-owner and busi-nessmen in Bella Coola and agent

for the Hudson’s Bay Company. He operated the first store and post office in old town Bella Bella and later sold the property to BC Packers. “I loved all of us getting togeth-er like that and celebrating,” said Robson “It is impor-tant for my kids to feel the history and I wish more of my kids could have been there. I think John Clayton would have been pleased to see how his fam-ily has evolved.”

Sisulth ‘Frank’ Johnson, elected Chief Councilor of the Wuikinuxv Nation, whose grandfather Dave Bernard was a com-munications per-son during the war said, and was one of 12 Native vets honoured. “Today also acknowledges all those who were never acknowl-edged, like the Rangers for exam-ple, who were all given training, guns, and ammo ‘just in case,’” said Johnson. “Many Aboriginals lost all their rights and status by join-ing the army, so when they came back they had noth-ing to go back too, non-native service-men were given their choice of land, but Aboriginals were not allowed to own land. They were no

longer considered Aboriginal, yet they weren’t white either, so many of them died of alcoholism and substance abuse on the city streets, like Tommy Prince from Manitoba.”

Sgt. Tommy Prince, Devil’s Brigade, was one of Canada’s most decorated First Nations soldiers, serving in WWII

and the Korean War. He was awarded a Military Medal dur-ing an investiture at Buckingham Palace, and the US Silver Star. “Today rep-resents only a por-tion of the stories of what Aboriginal people had accom-plished during the wars, and they are coming out now,” said Johnson.

One story he

told me was of First Nations in WWI scaring Germans by charging at them while wearing war paint and screaming war cries. In WWII a group of prison-ers being held by opposing forces were released when the guards realized one was Native and remembered the fearful stories they

had heard growing up of the fearsome courage of the First Nations in WWI.

Duka’aisla ‘William’ Housty, whose grandfather, Ray Humchitt, was the oldest heredi-tary chief there and is the only surviving First Nations vet-eran of the 12 that were honoured that day. Humchitt is the son of Chief Harry Humchitt (1865-1925), who was one of the original founding Chiefs of the Heiltsuk Nation, and one of four Chiefs to be depict-ed on the mural. Humchitt received a standing ovation when he rose to place his poppy on the Canada Flag.

“Craig had heard me at a potlatch in the past, and had called me to assist with the mural’s cultural history. He also asked me if I would do the ceremonies and the blessings,” said Housty. “Craig felt

that it was really important to include the whole com-munity, and today is about the whole community liv-ing side by side, to bridge and acknowl-edge the relation-ships that we have.” Of his grandfather’s role in the day, “I’m really happy to have him here, and happy to have a lot of the Heiltsuk youth par-ticipating in much of today’s ceremo-nies, it feels like it has come full circle.”

Steve Carpenter, a descendent of Captain Richard Carpenter (1841-1931) who spoke for his family in a short, but very well spoken, speech said, “No matter the colour of your skin, your tribe, your creed, this mural portrays the legacy that we are ALL Coastal Peoples!” This garnered a huge round of applause and many wiped away tears. Captain Carpenter was the most famous carver,

artist, canoe/boat builder in his era, and the first light-house keeper at Dryad Point.

Hilistis ‘Pauline’ Waterfall, 2010 Order of BC recipient, educa-tor and founding member of the Indigineous Adult and Higher Learning Association, “Keeper of the Knowledge” of the Heiltsuk Nation, was an instrumental part of making this day possible. “What endeared me most was Paul’s openness to culture, his open-ness to learning and his willingness to capture the spirit and essence of our ancestors,” she said. “In the old days, our people believed that if you could capture the spirit of someone in a pho-tograph, or a paint-ing, then it was an eternal treasure that kept us connected to them. When he started, he felt the ancestral and spiritual energy. I call him, my ‘Mural miracle maker.’”

Housty acknowl-edged and thanked Ygartua for the deep respect he showed when dealing with their ancestors. He presented Widsten and Ygartua with Beaded eagle feath-ers, “Which repre-sent the strength, unity, and power that comes from the wings of the Great Eagle,” said Housty. “It comes from all of our people, in recognizing your foresight, drive, and

determination, to make sure this proj-ect was completed. Thank you for mak-ing sure that both of our communi-ties were working together and includ-ed in this great day.”

Hilistis went on to conclude, “We want-ed Paul to come and paint a mural about our history on our new longhouse in Bella Bella. When we realized the cost involved… we struck a deal… a lifetime supply of seafood,” said Hilistis to a large round of applause and laugh-ter from the audi-ence. “Not only is this a visual remind-er of who and where we all come from, but we will also be developing a cur-riculum so that we can teach local com-munity history to all the schools.”

Bella Coola, BC — “My quest would not be a self-ish one. I could not leave knowing these faces and feelings would still exist, even though I would be set free from mine.” The people who look for the possibilities in an impossible task often make the difference, and Terry Fox was one of those people. It was Terry’s deter-mination towards his ultimate goal – to outrun cancer – that exemplifies the importance of lead-ing by example. Terry ran 5,373 kilometers and 143 days with the goal of seeking a cure for those affected by cancer and giving those around him something to hold

onto – hope.This year marks

the 33rd annual Terry Fox Run and the community of Bella Coola needs a volunteer Run Organizer to help keep Terry’s message alive. By becoming a Run Organizer, you become an inte-gral part of carrying Terry’s torch and helping Bella Coola contribute towards finding a cure for cancer. Last year, the Terry Fox Foundation raised over $26 million for cancer research, and with your help we aim to build off of that. The Foundation will help anyone who is inter-ested in volunteering to be an Organizer through the plan-

ning process. It is incredibly important that someone steps forward immediately for this meaningful cause, as the Run is fast approaching and is taking place on Sunday September 15th.

“It would be such

a shame for the people of Bella Coola to miss out on an opportunity to keep Terry’s legacy alive as every community no matter how big or small can make a huge impact, just as Terry learned when a small town of 10,000

people raised over $10,000”, says Donna White, Provincial Director for the Terry Fox Foundation BC & Yukon. Every con-tribution matters, and like Terry, we will continue to work together to outrun cancer.

If you are interest-ed in becoming the Bella Coola volun-teer Run Organizer, please contact Donna White, Provincial Director at the Terry Fox Foundation by email at [email protected] or by phone at 1-888-836-

9786. Remember, the Runs are non-com-petitive and all inclu-sive; the registration fee is by donation and there is no mini-mum pledge amount. For more informa-tion about The Terry Fox Foundation, visit www.terryfox.org.

PUBLIC NOTICERECALL AND INITIATIVE ACT

This notice is published pursuant to section 4 of the Recall and Initiative Act.

Approval in principle has been granted on an application for an initiative petition. The petition will be issued to proponent Dana Larsen on Monday, September 9, 2013 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, December 9, 2013.

The Title of the Initiative is:An initiative to amend the Police Act.

Summary of Initiative:The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.

Opponent Registration:Individuals or organizations who intend to incur expenses as opponents must apply for registration with the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, August 12, 2013. Registration applications for opponents are available from Elections BC.

Initiative Advertising:Individuals or organizations who sponsor initiative advertising, other than the proponent and registered opponents, must register with the Chief Electoral Officer before they conduct or publish initiative advertising. Registration applications are available from Elections BC.

Who May Sign the Petition:Registered voters as of Monday, September 9, 2013 may sign the initiative petition. Individuals may only sign the petition once, and must sign the petition sheet for the electoral district in which they are registered at the time of signing. Signed petitions are available for public inspection.

For More Information:The initiative application and draft Bill are available for public inspection on the Elections BC website and at the Elections BC office at the address below.

Bella Bella has been left reeling after a fire destroyed their only grocery store which contained a post office, cafe and liquor store.

Paula Baker Global News bC

The small community of Bella Bella, B.C. has been left reeling last Friday morning after a fire destroyed their only grocery store which con-tained a post office, cafe and liquor store.

The local fire crew and vol-unteers worked hard at keep-ing the fire contained, says Bella Bella RCMP Sargent Glen Caston. Bella Bella is an isolated community on the central coast north of Queen Charlotte Strait and is home

to the Heiltsuk First Nation.There were concerns that

three large fuel tanks below the Band store, which pro-vides the community with fuel for home heating, boats and cars, would catch fire and explode. Residents said people located in the poten-tial fuel tank blast radius were evacuated from their homes early this morning.

“The fire is still smoldering as there could be a false wall inside the building, which is making the fire harder to put out completely,” says Bella Bella Fire Chief Sunny Hunt.

Hunt says plans have been put in place to get food to the community with a barge set to arrive at Bella Bella on Sunday; which will be bring-ing two times the amount of food. A temporary store will be set up in the community hall and the community of Shearwater; which is across the sound does have some food to help Bella Bella.

A community planning meeting is in place and Bella Bella RCMP say the investiga-tion into how the fire started is ongoing.

Dr. Paul Martiquet Medical HealtH Officer

Obesity is a very serious and ongoing health issue but while we concern ourselves with the fact of obe-sity, we sometimes overlook the his-tory of the problem. A BBC report from the United Kingdom identifies the 1960s as the turning point for what has become an epidemic. Its measure 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 prob-lem of the past and obesity began to rise. Initially this was lim-ited to rich countries, but it had soon spread to middle-income countries as well.

The blame, accord-

ing to the BBC report, is the increase in the amounts of sugar we ingest. And in par-ticular, the amount of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). This product is a very sweet by-product of waste corn, and in the 1970s, it was incred-ibly cheap. This led to substituting HFCS for traditional sug-ars as a sweetener in processed foods. In turn, this led to a massive increase in the quantities of cheaper food showing up in supermarkets. 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 con-sumption 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 naturally in all fruits. It also occurs in high-fructose corn syrup. Fructose is eas-ily 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 caus-ing heart disease other chronic health problems. The solu-tion, of course, was to introduce low-fat products in all food categories. 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.

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.

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-
