If you check out the lat-est issue of BC Musician Magazine, you’ll see that BC is a province with many music festivals. For those of us here in Bella Coola, far from the festival circuit, we are extremely fortunate to have our own festival, bring-ing the music of Canada and

the world right here to our beautiful valley.

From solo performers to orchestras. From the pop duo of Carmen and Camille to the fiddling prowess of Daniel Lapp, the political songs of Williams Lake’s Brent Morton and the inter-cultural music of Toronto-based Jaffa Road,

there’s an amazing smorgas-bord of Canadian talent and musical styles ready to enter-tain.

H’Sao, based in Montreal but with Chadian roots, draws on traditional African music and masterful a capella sing-ing to create a unique sound-scape of world music. First

Nations singer/songwriter Digawolf brings the imagery of northern Canadian land-scapes to his songs, accom-panied by masterful guitar playing. And of course, Bella Coola is proudly represented by the music of Caley Watts and her band.

So come on out and listen

to great live music, mingle with the musicians, dance up a storm, eat some local food, visit with friends, and don’t forget all the fun stuff for the kids! With the mountains in the background and eagles soaring overhead, what could be a better way to spend the weekend.

A U.S. government agency has approved investigators' find-ings that Canadian pipeline company, Enbridge Inc,. knew about cracks that led to a 2010 leak of more than three mil-lion litres of oil into a Michigan river.

The most expen-sive and extensive onshore cleanup in U.S. history, which is nearly complete, has already cost about $800 million US. A five-person panel of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) voted Tuesday to accept the conclusions of inves-tigators on the cause of the leak.

Matt Fox, an NTSB investigator, told board members on Tuesday that the Calgary-based com-pany was aware of the cracks in its pipeline near Marshall, Mich., but failed to address them adequately before the rupture.

The pipeline start-ed leaking on July 25, 2010, into Talmadge Creek near Marshall, about 96 kilometres east of Grand Rapids. The oil spread into roughly 56 kilometres of the Kalamazoo River.

The spill fouled wildlife habitat and resulted in the closure of a large swath of the river to boaters and anglers. Two years later, all but a few hundred metres of the river have since reopened.

“Learning about Enbridge's poor han-dling of the rupture, you can't help but think of the Keystone Kops,” said Deborah Hersman, chair of the NTSB.

“Why didn't they recognize what was happening? What took so long?” she said in statement.

She said that

despite alarms and pressure differentials, Enbridge staff twice pumped more oil, about 81 per cent of the total release, into the pipeline, which was sporting a gash the size of a school bus. Hersman said that oil gushed from the rupture for more than 17 hours before the leak was discov-ered.

“This accident was the result of multiple mistakes and mis-steps by Enbridge,” Hersman said. “But there is also regu-latory culpability. Delegating too much authority to the regu-lated to assess their own system risks and correct them is tantamount to the fox guarding the hen-house.

B.C Environment Minister Terry Lake said the report on the Enbridge spill is “pretty damning,” but that doesn't mean the Northern Gateway project shouldn't go ahead. Lake said the B.C. government will take the report into account as it studies Enbridge's plan.

“When you read about the culture at Enbridge, that's wor-risome,” Lake said in an interview. “But again, we need to fully understand this. This happened two years ago. What changes have occurred at that company to ensure that this kind of reac-tion doesn't occur in the future?… I view this as more informa-tion to help us formu-late a position.”

But B.C. NDP Leader Adrian Dix said the government of Liberal Premier Christy Clark should stop fence-sitting and join him in rejecting the Northern Gateway project.

“The Kalamazoo pipeline rupture

report showed that Enbridge was unpre-pared, its systems were inadequate, and proper proce-dures were not in place despite the various inspections and controls that are supposed to prevent these episodes and to contain them with minimal impacts if they do occur,” said Dix.

As debate around the pipeline heats up and Joint Review Panel hearings con-tinue across the prov-ince, the report is rais-ing alarm bells in B.C. and Alberta where an Enbridge proposal to build a $5.5-billion, 1,177-kilometre pipe-line from the oilsands to the West Coast is being opposed by residents concerned about the danger of oil spills.

NDP Leader Adrian Dix says the report is more evidence the province should block the Northern Gateway

pipeline.“Premier Clark and

the Liberal govern-ment have failed to fully participate in the National Energy Board hearings into the pipeline, missing the deadline to sub-mit evidence and rep-resent the interests of British Columbians,” said Dix.

Clark has refused to take position for or against the Northern Gateway pipeline, saying she wants to weigh the evidence presented to the federal joint review panel, which is cur-rently conducting hearings on the pipe-line proposal.

This stance has angered many British Columbians, who feel that the government should have regis-tered to participate in the hearings on behalf of the residents of B.C.

The three-member panel will release an environmental

assessment of the contentious Northern Gateway pipeline

project in the fall of 2013, several months after the May provin-

cial election.With files from CBC

Letter to the Editor:

When I attended the public meeting on the valley’s flood preparedness at Lobelco Hall last Spring, I was comforted to learn that my newly pur-chased property on Airport Road would come under the protective umbrella of the proposed dyke upgrades around the airport.

Like most, I thought it was a done deal.

From your letters last week, I am now aware that Steve Waugh was the little Dutch boy with his finger in the dyke, but that our Burghers failed him and our commu-nity.

When the September floods come again, I’m sure we will all resolve to vote in the next regional election; however, until that time, we must fatten our fingers.

Take a guess at how long our pool has been serving the Bella Coola/Hagensborg commu-nity? 20 years? 30? Try 45!

For such a small pool, we are very for-tunate to be able to offer a wide variety of swim programs to our community throughout the years. These include: Red Cross swim programs such as Swim Kids (Levels 1-10) and Preschool Programs (Sea Otter-Whale) as well as lifesaving and leadership courses. The Lifesaving Society's Bronze Medal awards train participants in how to be an effective life-saver in aquatic envi-ronments and are an exciting challenge to anyone interested in improving their fitness, first aid and swimming skills.

Curious about Lifeguarding? The Bronze Medal awards are where you start! These courses are open to youth and adults, 13 years and older. Interested in teaching swim-ming lessons? We are proud to offer the Assistant Water Safety Instructor course. This is an introductory course on how to teach swimming.

We also offer the Water Safety Instructor course, which shows you how to plan, orga-nize and teach your own lessons. These courses are open to youth and adults 15 years or older. We are always looking to expand our team here at the pool, and this could be you!

Our programs and services are not only for children and youth, we have a number of Adult Lap

Swims that are the perfect times to get in a great low impact workout, improve your strokes or just to relax.

Swimming gives you an excellent total body workout and is a great way to get into shape. Aqua jog-ging is a fun new way to work out in the pool, and is also per-fect for anyone with pre-existing injuries. It uses a soft, float belt to keep you afloat as you “jog” through the pool. Just ask our front desk staff to borrow a belt, at no extra charge!

For those of you who would like to improve your strokes, learn new skills or start from the very beginning and learn to swim, our instruc-tors can customize a program to meet your needs and fit your schedule. It is NEVER too late to

learn to swim and private one-on-one lessons are a great place to start.

Our current schedule is as fol-lows:

Adult Lap Swims: 12-1pm & 5:30-6:30pm (7 days a week) and 8-9am (Mon-Fri)

Public Swims: 1-3 & 3:30-5:30 (7 days a week) and 6:30-8:30pm (Mon, Wed, Fri )

Lifesaving and Leadership courses run Tuesday and Thursday evenings

Have any ques-tions? Give us a call at 250-982-2488 or stop by to speak with an instructor.

We would also like to give a spe-cial thanks to those countless volunteers who have helped us get the pool up and running, particularly to Blair Mack and the Snootli Hatchery crew.

Jeremy Baillie

The Sir Alexander Mackenzie School Awards Day was held Tuesday, June 19th. Mr. Barnes was Master of Ceremonies for the event once again. Principal, Jeremy Baillie, opened with a few remarks thank-ing the students, parents and staff for their hard work dur-ing a challenging year which included job action by the BCTF.

The awards cer-emony began with the usual presenta-tion of Certificates of Achievement in each subject. The certificate recipients were as follows: PE (Isaiah Edgar, Kelly Harrison, Ashley Moore, Melissa Brooks, Carrigan Tallio, Andrew Christensen, Aodhan Cearnaigh); Outdoor Education (Dan Ellis); Math (Gabrielle Pootlass – Gr. 8 / Jacob Gascoyne – Gr. 9); Science (Aodhan Cearnaigh, Kasey Karran); Chemistry 12 (Brody Tuck); Biology 11/12 (Dan Ellis, Cheyenne Anderson); English 8/9 (Taslyn Nelson, Gabrielle Pootlass, Cassandra Brooks, Aodhan Cearnaigh); English 10 (Kasey Karran); English 11/12 (Brody Tuck, Marissa Charlie); Socials 8/9 (Aodhan Cearnaigh, Ashley Moore, Kelly Harrison, Andrew Christensen); Computers (Jacob Gascoyne), Psychology (Brody

Following the presentation of the certificates of excellence was the presentation of the plaques and bursa-ries. Mr. Boileau presented the Most Improved Athlete Awards Male/Female to Theoren Evans and Ashley Moore respectively. Sportsmanship plaques went to Aodhan Cearnaigh and Melissa Brooks for the leadership they displayed in soccer and basket-ball respectively. The athlete of the year was Connor Kopas who partici-pated in both soccer and basketball sea-sons.

Each year the Parent Advisory Council presents plaques recogniz-ing citizenship at each grade level. The award for Grade 8 went to Taslyn Nelson. The grade 9 award for citizenship named in honour of Tina Nygaard went to Jacob Gascoyne.

Similar plaques went to Melissa Brooks (grade 10), Shari Harris (grade 11) and Kerie Currie (alternate program).

The overall award for achieve-ment in art went to Cheyenne Anderson. Meanwhile, the Bella Coola Co-op 2012 award for music went to Brody Tuck. The Parent Advisory Council recognized Ashley Moore for her achievement in music and finally the Laverne Macdonald (named for a for-mer band teacher at SAMS) music award went to the talented Melisssa Brooks.

Most Valuable Player plaques were presented by Mr. Boileau to Carrigan Tallio and Isaiah Edgar (Basketball), and Andrew Christensen (Soccer).

Ms. McIlwain surprised her father and science teacher at SAMS for many years, Charlie Endicott, with the honour of having an award given out in his honour for achievement in sci-ence. The first of this annual award went to Brody Tuck.

The Ed Nash award for achieve-ment in Math, named after a for-mer teacher, was presented to Brody Tuck.

The NES Award for Achievement in Art went to Lauren Harrison. The Most Improved Student NES Award went to Taija Edgar. Lauren Harrison won the academic achieve-

ment award while the Delmar Solhjell award for best over-all grade 7 student (academics and citizenship) went to Samuel Stewart.

The awards cer-emony concluded with Mr. Baillie pre-senting the award for the highest mark in the humanities to Kasey Karran. He also presented the T.R Loosmore Award for achievement by a Grade 12 student to Brody Tuck. Finally, the Scott Svisdahl Citizenship Award was awarded to outgoing student council co-president Marissa Charlie.

The ceremony concluded with Mr. Baillie offering a thank you to Mike Wigle for all the

beautiful photos he took throughout the year at each school event and a short movie made by Mr. Baillie using the photos.

The awards cer-emony would not have been such a success without the hard work of Ms. Ignas, Melanie Kloss, Mr. Barnes, Mr. Baillie, John Breffitt, the SAMS Band, and the staff, students and par-ents of Sir Alexander Mackenzie School.

I’m always look-ing for new ways to explore the valley, so when I was invited to drift the Bella Coola river with guide, Fraser Koroluk and his guests, how could I refuse?

It was a warm sunny Saturday morning, when I loaded into the van with a family of four from Sydney, Australia and a retired couple from northern California. We drove up to our put in location at Canoe Crossing, right across the road from the Summer/Capoose trail head.

Our route would take us sixteen kilo-metres down the Bella Coola River. After a safety brief-ing and double check of our life jackets, Fraser got his hands on the oars as he launched us on our way.

What I got from this trip was a wealth of knowledge. I learnt more in three hours about ecology,

and grizzly bear life and reproductive cycles than I have in three years. Fraser also spoke about salmon species, local history and new research revealing more depth to the grizzly bears food

sources to include amphibians. It was a relaxing morning, meditative, reflective and interesting.

We stopped at three different shores. At a gravel bar, Fraser identi-fied seven different

species in a 100 feet stretch of shoreline that are all food sources for grizzlies. Although grizzlies mate in May and June, females have delayed implanta-tion.

The fertilized egg will not implant into the uterus until the female’s body fat reaches a critical amount.

This highlights the importance of a healthy, abundant and uninterrupted food source for griz-zlies.

At a sandy beach, Fraser set up a

table and served us a snack of hot tea, fresh fruit, scones and trail bars made with lavender from Holly’s garden.

When Aussie boys Ryan, 7, and Mackenzie, 9, were asked what their favourite part of the trip was, they both cheered, “the rapids.” Their mother, Jill Hill, added what she liked most about the trip were “the eagles, the snow capped mountains and the tales from Fraser.”

Fraser also point-ed out the changes to the river since the

2010 flood. As we passed the Nusatsum River, Fraser spotted a playful river otter on the opposite bank as it walked along the rocks.

As we neared the bend to the Bailey bridge take out, we spotted our first site of humans; fisher-men trying their luck at spring salmon fishing.

When we returned to Bella Coola Mountain Lodge, as luck would have it some friends arrived on their bikes after swimming at the Centennial Pool.

Together we sat on the deck to enjoy the view of Schoolhouse Mtn. with a cappuc-cino and cinnamon buns fresh out of the oven. It was a great way to spend a warm summer morn-ing and share some of what I had just learned.

Before leaving, I peaked into the sharp new dining room and I look forward to meeting friends there for din-ner soon.

Whether you live near the ocean, make a living from the coast, or just enjoy walking on the beach, you’ve likely come to appreciate the benefits of a healthy marine environment. But how can we work together to keep that environment healthy and able to support sustainable economies for future genera-tions?

That is one of the ques-tions a new initiative, called the Marine Planning Partnership for the North Pacific Coast (MaPP for short), will answer. MaPP is a partnership between the Government of B.C. and 20 First Nations. The partnership works

with the public and stakeholders to create a marine plan for the central coast, along with plans for Haida Gwaii, the north coast and North Vancouver Island.

On the evening of July 24, MaPP participants will be on hand at an open house at Lobelco Hall in the Bella Coola Valley to answer questions about how MaPP works, and let you know about some of the work planned over the next year and a half.

It’s a collaboration that’s built on a diversity of voices and per-spectives. We welcome your par-ticipation in helping to chart the future of the marine environment on B.C.’s central coast.

I lived on the family farm until I was sixteen years old. It was there I learned to cook, bake, knit, sew and crochet among many other skills.

I have always had a garden. In the late 1990's my daughter Deanna returned to Bella Coola and between us we grew all our own produce. We soon found out that we had more than we could use so we decided to take the produce to the Farmers Market that had been established in 1994.

We also baked and sold meat pasties and fruit turnovers as well as other baking and home-made goods. Deanna has since moved to her own home and is working full-time, I have contin-ued on my own. When Denise, the lady who baked the bread, left the valley, I filled the space left by her.

I bake various types of bread

such as wholewheat, multigrain, white and rye. I will bake other types on request. I also bake quick breads, cookies and muf-fins. Blueberry and rhubarb seem to be the favourite.

Along with the baking, I also make jams and jellies with whatever fruit is in season, most of which comes from our own farm. I will buy local fruits if I don't have some fruits I might like. Come see us at the Farmers Market every Sunday between 10AM and 1 PM.

There are vendors with some-thing for everyone. If you don’t see something you like, just ask and we will see what we can do for you.

Remember if you have too much produce, fruit or eggs, but not enough for a table, Farmers’ Market has a community table for you. Contact Dianne Tuck or June Vosburgh ahead of time and Farmers’ Market will sell it for you. See you there

The Hagensborg Water District is pleased to announce the commencement of its Point-of-Entry Water Treatment Pilot Project. The first installation was completed on July 2, 2012, in the home of Leslie and Carl Harestad. The beginning of the pilot project marks the culmination of roughly two years of extensive work with the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority which led to the receipt of a waterworks con-struction permit for the pilot project this spring.

The POE treat-ment system installed in each home consists of three treatment steps including a multi-gradient filter to reduce turbidity, an ultra fine filter to reduce cryptospo-ridium and giardia (Beaver fever) and further reduce tur-bidity, and a NSF-validated ultraviolet light (UV) sterilizer to disinfect the water. Other than removing suspended particles like dirt and debris, the system does not remove miner-als, add chemicals, or alter the taste or physical char-

acteristics of the water. The system is equipped with back-up power, surge protection, monitor-ing equipment, sev-eral back-up safety systems, and even a water leak detection device. The District is confident that the system will serve as a model for other POE projects in B.C.

The POE water treatment system was designed and built by HomePlus Products Inc. of Kamloops, B.C., a member of the Canadian Water Quality Association and leader in point-of-entry water treat-ment and UV disin-fection in B.C. Grant Robertson, President of HomePlus was on hand during the pilot project instal-lations, and had this to say when asked about the initial results, “So far, all of the installed systems are performing as expected.

"The initial UV doses, post-treat-ment water pres-sures, installation time per system, and other key param-eters are all running slightly better than we originally antici-pated.”

Over the course of the pilot proj-ect, extensive data regarding the per-formance of the sys-tems, maintenance requirements, and

monitoring needs will be gathered to thoroughly assess the costs and logistics associated with full implementation of point-of-entry (POE) treatment for all homes and business-es in Hagensborg. The project will also assess the impact of unusual rain events on the abil-ity of the system to meet turbidity reduction goals and if any modifications

to the intake facility on Snootli creek are desirable to address such events.

While implement-ing POE treatment in a large commu-nity is not without its challenges, we are confident that it will enable the District to meet the treatment objectives of the B.C. Drinking Water Protection Act and Regulations while meeting the Board’s mandate from com-munity members to use an alternative to centralized chlo-rination treatment, and to complete the water treatment project without tak-ing on debt. Trustee Dunsworth is very pleased that the pilot project has begun.

“The commence-ment of the pilot project and col-lection of data will enable the Water Board to assess the maintenance costs. As previously out-lined in the plan, this will enable the Board to come back to a public meeting with those costs for a final consensus prior to implementing a POE system for the Hagensborg water user”.

Have a wonderful time at this year’s

Discovery Coast Music Festival!

david dowlinGFollowing the success of last

year's camp, attended by 52 chil-dren, Emmanuel United Church will offer a four day camp July 17-20 (Tuesday through Friday), 1 pm to 3.30 pm, called 'Compassion Camp 2012: God Made You and Me Special.'

It is part of the Spirit Adventure Camp series.

Emphasis is on spiritual, emotional and physical fitness. Children will be taught skills for compassionate living, inspired by the Charter for Compassion, a worldwide movement (find more information at www.charter-forcompassion.org).

Activities will include singing,

dancing, crafts, games and Bible study. This year the camp is link-ing with the Discovery Coast Music Festival. On the last day of camp, the children will be joined by the Woodshed Orchestra from Toronto. They will workshop music perfor-mance pieces for the morning ses-sions of the festival the next day.

Any volunteer help is welcome. For more information, contact Rev. Ann Austin-Cardwell on 250 799 5388.

If you want your children to attend, register at church ser-vices (10.30 am at Augsburg in Hagensborg, or 7 pm at Emmanuel in Bella Coola), or at Emmanuel Church between noon and 1 pm on Tuesday July 17.

Children enjoyed the games at Compassion Camp in past years.
