15th Annual Bella Coola Music Festival rocks the Valley
BY EVANGELINE HANUSE
The rain did little to damp-en the spirits of attendees at the 15th Annual Bella Coola Music Festival. On July 19 and 20, a diverse and talented lineup of artists performed against the striking backdrop of billowing clouds and soar-ing mountains. The songs of the Nuxalkmc singers and drummers echoed through the crowd on Saturday afternoon, welcoming them to the Valley.
MC Al Simmons kept chil-
dren and adults alike enter-tained with his bag of tricks and peculiar gadgets while comedic MC Howie Miller amused the audience with his wit and irony. Local favourites AKA took the stage as well as the talented duo Rollah and Laina.
For the first time, the Music Festival was broadcast live on Nuxalk Radio 91.1 FM and the sounds of the Festival could be heard through the Valley. It was an exciting collaboration for both parties and they plan
to repeat it every year from now on.
Don Amero, a Métis artist from Winnipeg impressed the audience with his soulful yet upbeat musical style. While singing ‘Turn These Grey Skies Blue’ the sun literally broke through the clouds provid-ing relief from the downpour. His message of inspiring his listeners to do well in life and follow one’s own path comes from his ability to thrive despite seeing the struggle of those around him.
With four albums released, including Heart On My Sleeve, The Long Way Home, Deepening and Change Your Life, Amero has been tour-ing across Canada for the past 6 years. The success of his career has earned him numerous awards, including Aboriginal Songwriter and Male Artist of the Year at the 2009 Canadian Folk Music Awards and Male Entertainer of the Year at the 2012 Aboriginal Peoples Choice Music Awards.
The accomplishments Amero has earned are credited to his ability to stay focused on the bigger picture. He also had a trustworthy teacher that he could depend on for help and noted the importance of that experience, “She took me under her wing. People like that become mentors that we need in our lives, especially when our own lives are falling apart,” he explained. “I’m real-ly glad that she was there.”

While Amero strongly believes music is medicine that touches the soul, he explains why that is, “I’m lit-erally talking about music and the sonic waves itself. Not necessarily the lyr-ics, not necessarily the type of music but sonically something is happening that reaches deeper than language.”
In fact, Amero discovered the heal-ing influence of his song ‘Dark Horse’ when he received a message from a person that heard the song on the radio. The person was struggling with alcoholism and after listening to the song decided to turn away from the liquor store. Recognizing the impact the song had, Amero stated, “That is the biggest hon-our for me. Knowing that the songs I’ve been writing and have been inspired to write are reaching other people.”
Currently Amero is working on his fifth album and looks forward to touring and spend-ing time with his family. In the future he hopes to mentor other up and coming artists.
On Saturday eve-ning 54-40 returned to headline the Music Festival and had the crowd danc-ing the night away. Such hits as ‘She La’ and ‘Ocean Pearl’ were performed, radiating energy throughout the crowd. After hitting the 30-year mark of writing music and performing together, the group shows little sign of slowing
down.Several other
bands were obvi-ous hits with the crowd, including the incredibly ener-getic Shred Kelly, who entertained the audience with their upbeat banjo tunes and tales of their misadventures down at the estuary. Kobo Town delighted the audience with their beautiful accents and sunny demean-
ours. During their last set they ven-tured right into the crowd to play and sing along to an audience who gladly surged forward to meet them.
The unique sounds of Petunia and the Vipers cap-tivated the crowd and left them with an appreciation for the variety of genres the Festival works hard to present. With
a style that includes old-time country, yodeling, and rock, Petunia has an inde-scribable voice and an aura that leaves the audience curious for more.
As always, the rockstar of the North Rachelle Van Zanten was a hit with the crowd. With her down to earth atti-tude and ability to relate directly to people, Van Zanten
delivered a dynamic performance that brought the audi-ence to their feet.
The Fugitives had the honour of closing the show on Sunday evening and they delivered a stellar performance that included com-edy, a little politi-cal humour, and a lot of dancing. MC Howie Miller, who is now famous in Bella Coola for his ability to handle a dozen rowdy kids, led the
finale with a pretty awesome rendition of ‘Stand By Me.’
With the rugged beauty the Valley has to offer and the friendliness of the “Bella Coola wave” when driving the Highway 20, guests and performers were captivated by the experience. Organizers, volun-teers and vendors were ecstatic with successful Music Festival, and surely many more to come.

PRESS RELEASEWhen Douglas
Neasloss, Resource Stewardship Director and former Chief Counselor of the Kitasoo/Xai’xais First Nation, first noticed grizzly bears on coastal islands in the Great Bear Rainforest, he was concerned. Although mainland parts of his traditional territory contained both grizzly and black bears, only black bears were known to live on the islands. Neasloss told provincial gov-ernment biologists, but was dismissed because “he was not a biologist”.
Determined, he found allies in the academic world who recognized the value of this local
knowledge and could meaningfully combine it with sci-ence. Today, a collabo-ration of wildlife scien-tists published a study in the international peer-reviewed journal, PLOS ONE, affirming that Neasloss was right all along.
Researchers from the Kitasoo/Xais’xais’ own Spirit Bear Research Foundation, the Raincoast Conservation Foundation, and the University of Victoria conducted a two-year survey of fourteen islands in the Great Bear Rainforest - out-side the range the BC government recogniz-es in its management of grizzlies.
Ten islands showed evidence of resident grizzly bears. Importantly, the results showed the presence of females and young cubs, which generally move little in a given season. This suggests that
grizzly bears are resi-dent on the islands, not simply passing through. The scien-tists used a combina-tion of non-invasive techniques to study grizzly bear distribu-tion in the area. Non-invasively snagged hair provided DNA for genetic analyses,
revealing the spe-cies, sex, and individ-ual identity of bears. Remote cameras took photos of bears as they investigated the snag-ging stations.
Although provid-ing critical scientific information, the two years of fieldwork would have had lim-ited meaning without the deeper time per-spective provided by the Kitasoo/Xais’xais and the neighbour-ing Heiltsuk First Nations. Through interviews and map-ping, researchers doc-umented an increase in sightings of island grizzly bears over the past 30 years. But
cultural stories from both Nations linked grizzlies almost exclu-sively to the mainland.
“Our method drew from 10,000 years of place-based history and the cut-ting edge of genetic analyses. This let us
draw conclusions with more detail, and over longer time periods, than either method could alone,” says lead author Christina Service, a PhD student at the University of Victoria and scientist with the Spirit Bear
Research Foundation and Raincoast Conservation Foundation.
Douglas Neasloss argues that both the data and interdisci-plinary method are important steps for First Nations to man-
age natural resources in their territories again.
“Our Nation acted like a responsible government should in today’s world. We solicited the best available informa-tion on wildlife. This included not only modern science but also our own knowl-edge. This research model increasingly empowers us to make sound decisions about bears and the other resources we steward,” says Douglas.
This research has important implica-tions. On one hand, it suggests underly-ing environmental change. On the other, the presence of griz-zlies on islands could trigger new land pro-tection because pro-vincial policy requires high quality grizzly habitat to be protected throughout the Great Bear Rainforest.
“Here we have another example of indigenous govern-
ments investing in resource manage-ment. Against a backdrop of eroding funding for, and pub-lic confidence in, the ability of provincial and federal govern-ments to steward these ecosystems, it’s yet more evidence of the sweeping changes to how resources will be managed in the future”, says Dr. Chris Darimont, Science Director at Raincoast and Hakai-Raincoast professor at the University of Victoria.
Additional authors on this study include Kyle Artelle of Simon Fraser University and Raincoast Conservation Foundation, Laura Grant of the University of Victoria and Spirit Bear Research Foundation, and Megan Adams and Paul Paquet who hold appointments at the Raincoast Conservation Foundation and the University of Victoria.

Connecting Canadians aims to enhance Internet access for rural residents
PRESS RELEASEConnecting
Canadians is a key pillar of Digital Canada 150, a plan for Canadians to take full advantage of the opportunities of the digital age. Its aim is to provide greater access to high-speed Internet to Canadians across the country.
From the launch of Connecting Canadians in summer 2014 until 2017, the Government of Canada will invest up to $305 million over five years to extend high-speed
Internet service to 280,000 households in rural and remote regions of the country that currently have slower or no Internet access.
This means more Canadians will be able to connect with their teachers, doctors and families across the country as well as real-ize economic oppor-tunities. These ser-vices all require large amounts of data to be transferred quickly.
To do this, they will work with Internet Service Providers (ISP)
and provinces and ter-ritories in areas of the country where broad-band Internet access is at slower speeds or non-existent.
During the sum-mer of 2014 they are updating their maps of national broadband coverage and invite Canadians to provide feedback online to help better determine areas where there could be eligible proj-ects.
Once they have determined where there are households in need of greater
access to high-speed Internet, they will issue a call for applica-tions for ISPs to get funding to build the needed wireless or wired infrastructure. This will take place in fall 2014.
In the spring of 2015 projects will be decided, and applica-tions to Connecting Canadians will undergo a competi-tive national process. Successful projects will need to deliver high-speed Internet solu-tions for Canadians living in rural and
remote regions of the country.
In 2015 projects will begin, and once projects are approved, ISPs work to put the proposed wireless or wired infrastruc-ture in place. Once projects are com-pleted, Canadians can subscribe to new or improved services from ISPs.
To learn more, check out www.ic.gc.ca. If you do not have access to a computer, call 1-800-328-6189 and they will get a feedback form to you.

The Bella Coola Batfest, held Saturday night at the Clayton Falls Recreation Site, was a resounding suc-cess. Twenty-three people attended the event and met with biologists Mandy Kellner and Helen Davis, and assistant Jon Sampson. The crew set up mist-nets to catch bats, used bat detectors to monitor bat activity, and dis-cussed bat biology.
As dusk fell, they captured three female Yuma Myotis and attendees got to see these bats up close. Kellner and Davis were also delighted to have the opportu-nity to discuss find-ings of their project in the Clayton Falls Watershed. These
included the diverse bat species captured or detected, sightings of tailed frogs, western
toads, and the loca-tion that same day of a Goshawk family and their nest.
The Clayton Falls Watershed Project is funded by the Fish and Wildlife
Compensation Program on behalf of its program part-ners BC Hydro, the Province of BC,
Fisheries and Oceans Canada, First Nations and the public, who work together to con-serve and enhance
fish and wildlife impacted by the con-struction of BC Hydro dams. Learn more at www.fwcp.ca

The New Leaf Learning Centre enjoyed its 5th Anniversary at its location at the Alexander McKenzie Church 800 Mackay Street with the theme of “Literacy is Life.” It was a special oppor-tunity to thank every-one who cares about literacy.
There are several unique volunteers who have contributed much to improving and highlighting the importance of read-
ing and books in our community
Lorna Layton is an author, book lover and storyteller and no stranger to those who have frequented the library in the past. Now retired, she helps others navigate the library on-line book requests system and is willing to help anyone find specific books.
Books are her pas-sion! You may have noticed a table in the library marked
“Lorna’s Picks”; she orders recommended books by her for others to enjoy. As Chair of the Bella Coola Valley Learning Society, she has assisted in running the organization and, beyond that, has been a volunteer tutor for over a decade.
Gail Moody has been an avid reader all her life and shares this love with all chil-dren including, of course, her grandchil-dren. As director of
“Healthy Beginnings”, she is able to spread her enthusiasm to the whole community of little people and their parents.Joined with her staff, read-ing, books, puppets, songs and games have launched many children into the imaginary world of literature.
She also is a founding member of the Bella Coola Valley Literacy Task group that supports literacy efforts throughout the
community.Her current project
is underway; one she has been scheming about for a long time. Nuxalk Song and dance for children will soon be available on DVD for families to encourage Nuxalk Language in everyday life.
Darlene Rivers- Mack has volunteered at every Family Literacy Fair for six years.She is hard to find at times as she is always busy helping
children with their reading skills in sev-eral schools.
She is a trained volunteer tutor at the New Leaf Learning Centre, realizing these skills will help her as well as oth-ers. She talks freely about her experi-ence in residential school and is doing her best to eliminate the residual effects. Her latest undertak-ing is to further her studies in the home based “Arrowmight”
program that her own band in Squamish is paying for. She enjoys learning the variety of topics in this interest-ing self-paced pro-gram.
She is a role model for learning and always seeking to learn more.
The New Leaf Learning Centre wishes to thank everyone who has supported its pro-grams and work toward a more liter-ate community.
Two Bella Coola athletes were a part of Team BC’s big winnings at the Regina 2014 North American Indigenous Games (NAIG).
BC brought home the most medals out of any prov-ince, 160 in total. Just behind BC was Saskatchewan with 159 and Ontario with
149.Braden Tallio and
Tamika Tallio were each part of Team BC’s basketball squad, competing in Male U-14 and Female U-16 respec-tively.
Braden’s team brought home the bronze and Tamika’s team the silver. Both athletes had to work
hard to make the team, going through several days of trials to win their spots.
Regina 2014 NAIG hosted over 6000 participants from 26 regions across North America who com-peted in 14 events from archery to wres-tling, cheered along with their friends and family
There were over 10,000 people shar-ing the same passion and involvement during this amazing experience.
Braden enjoyed the experience immensely, recalling that Regina was very flat and there was a tornado warning the first night they arrived!

Midway through the 2014 tourist sea-son, tourism busi-nesses along Highway 20 from end to end are hurting, accord-ing to a recent survey conducted by Bella Coola Valley Tourism. And the future for the industry may be even bleaker.
In a telephone survey of businesses stretching from the Bella Coola townsite to Riske Creek, nearly all reported business is down this sum-mer – with estimates ranging from 10 to more than 90 percent. Those suffering most are businesses offer-ing tours in addition to accommodations.
Especially suf-fering are those most dependent on advance book-ings by international agencies wishing to book travellers on the Discovery Coast Circle Tour – a world-class adventure scut-tled this season in cost-cutting measures recommended by BC
Ferries and adopted by the BC govern-ment. This move involved replacing the MV Queen of Chilliwack with the much smaller MV Nimpkish that con-nects with the Port Hardy-Prince Rupert ferry at Bella Bella.
When asked if business was better or worse compared to business in 2013, only three reported business to be about the same, noting that their businesses were not highly dependent on the ferry service. One accommodator/tour operator report-ed an increase of 10 percent in business which was attrib-uted to an advertising campaign and special offers for fly-in guests
Businesses hard-est hit are those who have promoted large-ly through European agencies who used to schedule the Circle Tour as part of a three-week $15,000 “trip of a lifetime” to British Columbia – the type of booking that is done many months in advance.
This season, tour-ists and agents were unable to book on the Circle Tour until late April, which was too late for most international travel-lers. Consequently,
European agents scratched the Circle Tour from their packages, and those travellers found elsewhere to go.

during this first year of the Nimpkish's operation.

A8 Coast Mountain News Thursday, July 31, 2014
Respondents to the BCVT survey indi-cated that much of the 2014 tourist traffic involves Canadian travellers.
Most of the busi-nesses surveyed indicated that much of their operation – in some cases, 90 per-cent - has depended on the summer ferry service. Three of these, seasonal opera-tors in the Chilcotin, said 65 to 98 percent of their business depended on ferry travellers, and the cancellation of Route #40 accounted for business losses of 40 to 90 percent.
One Chilcotin business has nights booked for 13 couples between now and mid-September. In 2013, this number was 130. After 21 years in business, this operator says the upside is that his wife can swim in the lake every day and they are planning an August vacation. They are considering clos-ing down the opera-tion entirely.
One Bella Coola tour operator whose business is 75 percent dependent on ferry traffic said business is down 75 percent at this point while another reported losses of 60 – 80 per-
cent. A third, who offers both accommo-dation and tours, said his business, which is 70 percent ferry-dependent, is down a whopping 90 percent over last year.
The 2014 version of the Circle Tour is losing not only its international travel-lers. For instance, one seasonal opera-tor who has catered to three tour buses each bringing 30 – 40 Canadian seniors on the Circle Tour for 14 summers has just done so for the last time. These tours, west from Williams Lake, involved stop-ping for lunch in the Chilcotin, overnight-ing at Nimpo Lake, going for a flight-seeing tour of the glaciers to the south, overnighting in Bella Coola, and head-ing out the channel and across Queen Charlotte Sound to Vancouver Island.
Although sailings on the Nimpkish are often full (at times to the point of overcrowding – rais-ing concerns about safety), there are still plenty of rooms in the Valley and across the Chilcotin for addi-tional ferry travel-lers. In fact, a recent BCVT inventory of Valley accommoda-tions indicates ample space for the num-
bers travelling on the much larger Queen of Chilliwack in years gone by.
The business loss this season is only part of the gloom that has descended on the industry. With no indication from BC Ferries or the govern-ment that plans are under way to address the financial concerns of area businesses, some fear that the damage is much more
far-reaching. Because international travel agencies require months and years to arrange tour pack-ages that depend on reliable bookings, many won’t consider recommending travel involving BC Ferries – even if a more suit-able service were put in place immediately.
Such agencies need guarantees of schedules and fares for as long as five
years, and as one operator put it, BC Ferries and the BC government have cre-ated such a climate of uncertainty that “European tour oper-ators won’t touch BC as a destination”.
Tourism busi-nesses also fear the damage to the region’s reputation caused by the Route #40 cancellation and the Nimpkish replace-ment. Travellers try-
ing to book on the Circle Tour are dis-covering that space is not available, and those who do make the voyage are com-plaining about the inconvenience of the 16 ½-hour trip from between Bella Coola and Port Hardy – nine hours of it on an inap-propriate vessel arriv-ing in Bella Coola at midnight.
While travellers arriving in Bella Coola
on the Nimpkish are lavishing great praise on the crew for their efforts to make the experience enjoyable, many say they would not recommend the Nimpkish experience to others.
The Coast Mountain News plans to publish a compre-hensive report on passenger reactions to the Nimpkish expe-rience in the August 14 issue.

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
