Three unidentified visitors relax in the soothing hot mineral waters of Eucott Bay, an increasingly popular spot for visitors to the fjords of BC's Central Coast. In recent years, BC Parks has erected a boardwalk and installed a composting toilet on the site, which enjoys a "conservancy" status. In May, a conflict between bear hunters shooting a video of their intended kill and bathers in the pool have prompted Bella Coola Valley Tourism to request that the area be declared "off

limits" to hunting. For pleasure craft, like those in the distance, Eucott Bay provides a welcome shelter from the often rough waters of Dean Channel.

Eucott Bay should be “off limits” to hunting, says Tourism AssociationBY ERNEST HALL

Eucott Bay, site of a popular hot springs on Dean Channel some 50 km northwest of Bella Coola, should be designated “off limits” to hunting, accord-ing to the Bella Coola Valley Tourism Board of

Directors. In a unanimous vote at a recent meet-ing, the Board adopted a motion to pursue a no-hunting status for the area around the hot springs.

The move came follow-ing an incident last May during the spring black bear season. At that time, a family lounging at the

spring was surprised to see a hunter and a cam-era crew on the beach opposite where a bear was clearly in view.

The parents, one in a rowboat and the other on foot, approached the hunt-ing party and an alterca-tion ensued during which a shot was fired. The hunt-

ing party re-boarded their boat and quickly left the bay. It was later learned that the camera crew were representatives of Remington, a well-known firearms maker.

In a letter to Environment Minister Mary Polak, BCVT President Doug Baker says

his board’s decision came after “considerable delib-eration.” He says the area “has become increasingly popular with visitors.”

“As an organization pro-moting the development of tourism in our region we feel such a place should be free from conflict between hunting and recreation,”

Baker concludes. “This is not about being

pro or anti-hunting, but about safety and the envi-ronment of people and wildlife. We fear the poten-tial for further hunter/visi-tor conflict at this popular and pristine attraction.”

BCVT is not alone in its concerns about the potential for hunter/visitor conflict at Eucott Bay. Megan Moody, Stewardship Director for the Nuxalk Nation, says that reduc-ing hunter/visitor conflict in the area is very important, but that discussions with Nuxalk leadership and the community would need to occur before the Nation could support a ban on all hunting. However, Moody notes that an alliance of coastal First Nations (Haida Gwaii, Wuikinuxv, Heiltsuk, Kitasoo/Xaixais, Nuxalk, Gitga’at, Metlakatla, Old Massett, Skidegate, and Council of the Haida Nation), have banned the trophy hunting of bears in the Great Bear Rainforest.

Since the decision and it’s posting on BCVT’s Facebook page, the Board had received no negative responses by press time. In the first 10 days follow-ing the decision, nearly 6,000

people read the posting, many of them responding with com-ments praising the move.

Organizations such as Pacific Wild (where 500 “likes” had been posted at press time), the Audubon Society, and Watershed Sentinel (self-described as “Canada’s environ-mental news magazine”), have also hailed the BCVT decision.

As for the hunting commu-nity, Bella Coola Rod and Gun Club President Gary Shelton was unable to take a “formal position” for his organization at this time, but added: “I per-sonally understand why BCVT would want to reduce conflict in such a small zone.” He said that the matter will be discussed by his board after their summer recess.

Even Bella Coola old-timer Clarence Hall (The “Cougar Man”), an avid hunter for most of his 90 years and a Lifetime Member of the North American Hunting Club with a trophy

cougar and black bear in the BC record book, agrees with the BCVT stand. “It’s just com-mon sense,” Hall says. “Hunters shouldn’t hunt in a public place like Eucott Bay or (Vancouver’s) Stanley Park.” Noting that peo-ple have been hunting at Eucott Bay for thousands of years, he also notes, “People are visiting the area more and more, and there are plenty of other places to hunt.” Hall would like to see the area developed as a tour-ist attraction that would bring business into the Central Coast region.

As for those involved in the May confrontation at Eucott Bay, the incident was reported to the BC Conservation Officer service, and those authori-ties have spoken with the hot springs bathers, who could be charged with “disrupting a hunt” - a violation of the BC Wildlife Act. However, by press time, charges had not been laid.

Wuikinuxv Nation and the governments of B.C. and Canada have reached a major milestone in the B.C. treaty process with the signing of an Agreement-in-Principle.

Mark Strahl, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development, John Rustad, British Columbia's Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation, and Rose Hanuse-Hackett, Chief of Wuikinuxv Nation, today signed an Agreement-in-Principle during a cer-emony in Wuikinuxv Village, on the cen-tral coast of British Columbia.

With the signing of the Wuikinuxv Agreement-in-Principle, the three parties can now begin negotiations towards the conclusion of a Final Agreement. The Wuikinuxv Final Agreement will include a self-govern-ment component to clarify the roles and responsibilities of the future Wuikinuxv Government, the Government of British Columbia and the Government of Canada.

The B.C. gov-ernment says that “modern treaties are an important tool to advance reconcilia-tion and economic development for First Nations and all Canadians. A Final Agreement will provide Wuikinuxv Nation with the lands, resources and authorities they need to determine their own destiny. This in turn will lead to greater economic self-sufficiency and pros-perity for Wuikinuxv Nation.”

The Wuikinuxv Agreement-in-Principle proposes approximately 14,646 hectares of land, and a transfer of $7.3 mil-lion (to be adjusted for inflation).

"The Government of Canada remains committed to con-cluding treaties with First Nations across the country. Concluding a mod-ern treaty with the Wuikinuxv Nation rec-onciles Aboriginal and Crown interests and balances the rights and interests of the community and all Canadians. said Mark Strahl, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development. “The

Agreement-in-Principle will lay the groundwork for a bright future for the region, opening doors to new jobs and opportunities."

“Reconciliation with First Nations is about acknowledging the past and work-ing to build a healthy and prosperous future, and treaties can be an important tool on this path. Wuikinuxv Nation is a dedicated steward of their traditional ter-ritory and an impor-tant partner with the Province in marine planning for B.C.'s coastline,” said John Rustad, Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation. “The Agreement-in-Principle adds a cru-cial pillar to our part-nership, one that lays out a path to mean-ingful reconciliation, self-determination and new economic opportunities for cur-rent and future gen-erations of Wuikinuxv people.”

“The signing of the Agreement-in-Principle is an important step in our path towards self-determination and economic self-reliance,” said Chief Rose Hanuse-Hackett, Wuikinuxv Nation

“While much work remains, Wuikinuxv is committed to achiev-ing a lasting and ben-eficial treaty for this generation and those to come.”

Wuikinuxv tradi-tional territory lies 500 kilometres northwest of Vancouver, on the remote central cost of British Columbia. The community is located on the banks of the Waanukv River, which connects Owikeno Lake to the head of

Rivers Inlet.Wuikinuxv has

approximately 290 registered members. The Agreement-in-Principle was approved by com-munity members at its Annual General Assembly in July 2013.

The Agreement-in-Principle covers 27 topic areas including governance, taxation and resources (fisher-ies, forestry, wildlife, water, subsurface resources).

Progress in the B.C. treaty process includes: Tsawwassen First Nation and the five Maa-nulth First Nations are imple-menting their Final Agreements.

Yale First Nation and Tla'amin Nation and are working towards implement-ing their respective Final Agreements.

Lheidli T'enneh First Nation conclud-ed a Final Agreement and is considering a

second ratification vote.

Eight First Nations are in Final Agreement negotia-tions: In-SHUCK-ch, K'omoks, Yekooche, and the Te'mexw Treaty Association First Nations of Songhees, Beecher Bay, T'Sou-ke, Malahat, Snaw-Naw-As.

Fourteen First Nations are in advanced Agreement-in-Principle negotiations.

An orca that was stranded on some rocks was kept alive for eight hours by a dedi-cated team of whale researchers and vol-unteers on the North Coast of B.C. A pump and sheets were used to keep whale alive near Hartley Bay on B.C.'s North Coast

"She cried often, which tore at our hearts, but as the tide came up there were many cheers as this whale was finally free," said a Facebook post from the group The Cetacean Lab.

Early Wednesday morning, the group received a call from a colleague about the beached orca, which was stuck on some rocks at low tide.

"We decided the best thing to do would be to keep her cool, that meant to put water on her body and we used blankets and sheets," said Hermann Meuter, a co-found-er of Cetacean Lab. "It was the only thing we could do."

Meuter said they could see the orca's behaviour change as they began to help her.

"At first she was stressed, you could see that her breathing was getting a little fast-er," said Meuter.

But after about 15 to 20 minutes, she began to calm down. "I think she knew that we were there to help her," said Meuter.

Around 4 p.m. PT, the tide began to rise and the orca was able to start freeing her-self.

"It took her about 45 minutes to nego-tiate how best to get off the rocks," said Meuter. "We all just kept our distance at that point."

When she swam away, the orca was quickly reunited with her pod, which was nearby.

Metuer said members of the World Wildlife Fund and the Git G'at Guardians from Hartley Bay were also on the scene helping to free the animal.

"We all cared about this whale and we were just very lucky to give that whale another chance," said Meuter.

Nuxalk cultur-ist Chris Nelson

leads in singing the "paddle song" with partner Clyde Young at the July 4 Grand

Opening of Copper Sun Journeys and Gallery. In his open-ing remarks, Nelson

expressed his delight that the Tour opera-tion and Gallery have teamed up with Bella

Coola Valley Tourism, the Bella Coola Music Festival and Coast Mountain News, all housed together in the former RCMP sta-tion on the Townsite.

The logo on Young's drum sym-bolizes the coop-erative venture, its shield-like "copper" shape representing prosperity and the sun the life-giving force.

The sloping bars represent the rafters of the long house sheltering the whole community. This

is the first time the Nuxalk have operated a public gallery. It showcases the work of numerous painters and carvers as well as cedar weaving, jew-elry, and other "wear-ables".

Nelson noted that this Nuxalk Development Corporation venture is a way to promote tourism, and tour-ism is another way of carrying the Nuxalk culture forward. He noted that his part-ner is just starting to sing, adding that

"finding a voice" is vital for the Nuxalk People. A Director on the Board of Bella Coola Valley Tourism, Nelson is well-known for his many years guiding tourists to the Thorsen Creek Petroglyphs with his twin Lance.

Petroglyph tours and a Totem walk (which includes a visit with a Nuxalk carver) are among the guided tours offered. Copper Sun hours are 10 a.m. - 8 p.m. daily. For information, phone 1-250-267-6430.

One thing is for certain - just the sight of legendary children’s enter-tainer Fred Penner is enough to make people smile.

This was appar-ent no matter what he was doing - whether it was play-ing a mean harmon-ica with the rock n’ roll band Miss Quincy or enter-taining the masses all evening long - Penner was a hit.

After a week of questionable weath-er the skies cleared up just in time for performers and spectators alike to enjoy some beam-ing hot (almost too

hot but hey we can’t really complain!) weather and an entire weekend of world class enter-tainment.

It was so hot some performers gear literally melted off their instru-ments!

The weekend kicked off with a great sets by Daniel Lapp and Miss Quincy, who were joined by special guests CR Avery and Mr. Penner himself.

The energy con-tinued all week-end with amazing performances by Compassion Gorilla, Mob Bounce, Logan Staats, and Daniel

Lapp on Saturday afternoon.

Local talent included Open Mic on both days and a feature performance by Marlin Wayne.

Magical Jesaja brought more than a little talent from his home in the Nemiah Valley with some amazing shows that captivated all ages.

The local magi-cian, just 18 years old, managed to completely hush the entire crowd of children - which everyone knows is a near impossible feat and a testa-ment to his obvious greatness!

Evening perfor-

mances included an incredible treat with Black Umfolosi Five - hailing from Zimbabwe.

The quintet per-formed traditional African acapella-style music and songs and also the famed ‘Gumboot Dance’ which resonated with the crowd.

The night con-tinued with the antics of the unbe-lievably talented CR Avery, whose show was a fabulous mix of humour, poetry, rock and roll and everything else you can think of!

Once the pride of the province’s trans-portation system, BC Ferries is an object of harsh criticism from a pair of Australian eco-tourists who recently visited the Bella Coola Valley.

Susan Rhind, PhD, and Murray Ellis, both wildlife biologists and seasoned travel-ers who roam the world’s remote places observing wildlife and wilderness habitat, sometimes volunteer-ing for various organi-zations, came in on the Nimpkish “Discovery Coast Connector” for the last week of their two-month 2015 adventure.

While praising the Bella Coola Valley as the highlight of their trip and describ-ing their cruise on the MV Nimpkish as “fabulous”, the couple recounted their adven-ture for the Coast Mountain NEWS. Their experience with BC Ferries might have discouraged less deter-mined travelers, but they were undaunted on what they estimat-ed to be a $16,000 ven-ture ($2,000 of it spent in the Valley).

They had returned to the northeast Pacific after a previous voy-age down the Inside Passage on Alaska’s “marine highway”

while volunteering on a two-month trip to Alaska and Costa Rica. Two years ago, they created a similar two-month eco-tour starting in Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland, then Nova Scotia, a short time in BC, and on to Churchill, Manitoba to observe the polar bears of Hudson Bay. Their work-travel has also included Viet Nam, and for Rhind, a two-year stint in Africa.

This summer, acting on a recommendation by a fellow researcher living in Kamloops, they settled on a week in the Bella Coola Valley to end this two-month trip. They knew prime grizzly season was later on, but they came, hoping to see bears anyway. “We looked up Bella Coola (on the Internet) and went WOW!”, said Rhind.

Then the difficulties began.

They decided to take the ferry so they could experience the voyage. The couple found the BC Ferries website “impossible”. “Once we disentangled it all, we were uncom-fortable about whether we were booking what we thought we were booking,” said Rhind. The website was so “awkward”, that they contacted the travel agency in Bella Coola, who restored

their confidence, but they were still left with questions.

Being seasoned international travelers used to making their own arrangements, the couple turned to “Trip Advisor” and other social media reviews to get a picture of what to expect. This included looking up the MV Nimpkish.

“The reviews were absolutely damning,” Rhind said. They saw newspaper articles that reported on the dismal 2014 season (the first year of the new “con-nector” service involv-ing the Nimpkish.)

They read about “a politician saying what a glorious trip he’d had.” Ellis claimed, “It seemed he (the politi-cian) was manufactur-ing his own version of reality.”

“People don’t just go to BC Ferries and see what BC Ferries says about them-selves,” Rhind said. “They also go on the Internet, where I saw everything was bad. Everything I could find out about this vessel told me how terrible it was.”

Nevertheless, because they weren’t encumbered by a vehicle, they were able to get reservations as foot passengers on the “connector” (sold out for vehicles), and booked their two-month trip: Starting

in Hawaii, then Alaska, and down the Inside Passage to Vancouver. There, still curious about the amenities on board the Nimpkish, the pair went to the BC Ferries Vacations downtown head office to ask what they should expect in order to prepare. They got no answers.

“We were con-fused,” Rhind said, adding that they weren’t asking in order to be critical. “Our questions were genuine questions. We wanted to know if we were taking the right stuff. But they couldn’t give the information to me.”

The trip con-tinued: Up the Sunshine Coast, over to Vancouver Island and Tofino, then to northern Vancouver Island where they spoke to other BC Ferries staff and got no information about the Nimpkish amenities. The couple told the NEWS that everywhere they went in their BC travels, people com-plained about the ferry service – about reser-vations, about getting information, about fares, about schedules. They said this hadn’t been their experience when they were here just two years ago. (That was before the government’s cost-cutting measures were implemented.)

At Port Hardy, because of what they had read on-line, Rhind and Ellis packed cushions, water, food, and raingear. “We knew this (the Nimpkish) was a bucket, a tub, but that wasn’t going stop us. We were ready for anything,” Rhind said. “We had already low-ered our expectations. We just needed infor-mation.”

North they sailed on the MV Northern Expedition, head-ing into the Great Bear Rainforest to Bella Bella, where they transferred to the Nimpkish. Once aboard the little ves-sel, the couple learned of the complimentary food and beverages only when other pas-sengers appeared with

refreshments in the lounge where they had gone. No information had been provided to those going to the sec-ond lounge.

“You had to be resourceful and able bodied,” Rhind said. They had to find the washrooms for them-selves and be able to squeeze between the RV’s occupying the center overheight lane to get to the lounge serving water, tea, cof-fee, soft drinks, and a boxed lunch.

Rhind expressed special concern about safety. “You need to be physically really strong to open the doors,” she noted, and this, coupled with the sills underfoot, could cause an accident in which case, “BC Ferries would surely be dragged through the courts, and would not win because it is absolutely obvious that it’s very dangerous. If you are frail, overly tall, or have a pot belly, you probably can’t go on that ferry, and it’s certainly not safe.” She sees this as an “equity issue”, adding a more suitable vessel should be employed for this service.

From their Nimpkish experi-

ence, Rhind and Ellis said they have invented a new English verb: When they are uniformed about what to expect, they say they have been “Nimpkished”.

As for the journey itself, Rhind and Ellis raved about the trip and the effort the crew put in to point out landmarks and entice the dolphins cavorting alongside. “They turned around, and were joined by hundreds of dolphins. Every single person on the boat was delighted. It was the highlight of their trip.”

The pair remarked on the “intimacy” with the other passengers afforded by the small vessel. “Everyone got talking to each other. We were going remot-er, so everyone took their time. Delightful. In calm conditions where the weather was pretty good.”

Would she rec-ommend the trip? “Absolutely.” “It was a fabulous trip, even on the Nimpkish: if you know what to expect and you don’t have physical disabilities that would make this a worry for you.”

Rhind and Ellis said they enjoy going

to “emoter places, as far away from busy-ness as possible. The remoter and wilder the place, the better. “However, I don’t want to spend three weeks back-packing to get there,” Rhind added. They love small communities and get-ting to talk to locals, bumping into people over and over again.

The couple said the Bella Coola Valley was the highlight of their 2015 eco-tour. It rivals the wonder-ful Canadian Rockies, but it doesn’t have the human pressure. “It’s not designer wilder-ness,” said Ellis.

Rhind, whose work involves a large amount of published writing and editing, was highly compli-mentary of the Visitor/Trail Guide produced by Bella Coola Valley Tourism. “It’s the best guide I have ever come across,” she said, except that the “dif-ficulty rating” of the trails makes them to appear easier than they really are.

Her final criticism of BC Ferries: “The Bella Coola Valley is simply so spectacular that it just sells itself. But BC Ferries isn’t selling the journey.”
