A boisterous crowd defied the near-freezing rain at the Government Wharf in Bella Coola March 15 for the noon hour rally coinciding with rallies up and down the coast protesting government cuts to BC Ferries services.
The twin themes of the rally, sponsored by Bella Coola Valley Tourism (BCVT), called on the BC government to “Save the Discovery Coast Ferry” and “Give us back the Chilliwack”, a refer-ence to the decision to pull the MV Queen of Chilliwack out of service as part of the cost-cutting measures announced last fall by the Ministry of Transportation.
The change means that the MV Nimpkish, a 16-car vessel unable to make the direct sailing between Bella Coola and Port Hardy, is slated to replace the Chilliwack – which can carry 115 cars. The Chilliwack has sailed the route directly for 16 summers and can make the direct sailing in 11 hours. Opponents of the plan say it will repel tourists, rather than attract them.
The plan will have the Nimpkish, which is the smallest vessel in the entire BC Ferries
fleet and which has no on-board amenities such as food services, sailing the often perilous Burke Channel after a transfer at Bella Bella, where there are few tour-ist facilities. The Transportation Ministry plans to refit the Nimpkish so that the nine-hour voyage between Bella Coola and Bella Bella will be more appeal-ing.
Rally placards included a demand to “Stop Todd Stonewalling” and an invita-tion to Christy to take the Nimpkish Cruise on the “New Todd Stonewalling Circle Tour”. Despite heavy protest, petitions and letter-writing campaigns since the cuts were announced in November, Transportation Minister Todd Stone and Premier Christy Clark have refused to budge on their decision to uphold the recommendations of BC Ferries.
A rally organizer representing BCVT noted that an umbrella company that sends $1 billion worth of tourism business to Canada annually has recently informed Stone that the firm is boycotting not just the Discovery Coast but all of British Columbia.
Local troubadour Doug Baker, the BCVT Vice-President, after 17
years promoting tourism devel-opment in the region, performed his specially penned “Give Us Back the Chilliwack”, asking if the cut of the Chilliwack was because the North Coast riding is NDP or because “you want us to join the LNG”. His song described the Nimpkish, with its open car deck so low that sea water overflows the deck in heavy seas, as a “toy in a fjord”.
After refitting at consider-able cost in recent years, the Chilliwack had been slated to operate for at least three more years. The government claims this ferry service has been under used (30 – 40 percent full) and losing too much money, but figures show that direct daylight sailings of the Chilliwack between Bella Coola and Port Hardy were 71 percent full. Tourism pro-moters have been asking for a rescheduling that would make the route more viable for the 2014 season at least.
In a poignant performance, Nuxalk drummers Chris and Lance Nelson led a group sing-ing a paddling song, saying the entire Bella Coola community is “on this journey together”, striving toward “the same destination”. Hereditary Chief Noel Pootlass
stressed the economic impor-tance of tourism to the Central Coast, the heart of the Great Bear Rain Forest, where an aboriginal tourism industry is in its fledgling stages.
Local Kathy Nylen, a tourism industry promoter who served on the BC Ferries Advisory Committee for 12 years before resigning in frustration with BC Ferries, noted that the mam-mography equipment that has come to Bella Coola annually via
the larger vessel, will not be able handle the turbulence if ship-ping on the Nimpkish. “But it’s not over till the fat lady sings,” she said, “and I’m still here”.
Chants of “shame” were generated by environmental engineer Ken Dunsworth who recalled the agreements coastal communities engaged in with government in recent decades to protect vast coast areas because of its tourism potential.

Looking for a great coffee, a snack, and local gifts? Wildman Coffee and Gifts is now open for business at the Bella Coola Airport.
The creation of local entrepreneur Jen Taylor, the shop features specialty cof-fee and tea, local art, books, seafood, yoga accessories and more. And the name? “You could call my husband a sasquatch enthusi-ast,” Jen explains. “And given the history of the Valley, we both felt the name was a good fit.”
The shop is tucked into the west end of the airport and is open
daily during airport hours, Monday to Saturday, 8am – 2pm, and Sundays from 9am – 3pm. In addition to Kicking Horse coffee and artisan snacks, the shop is offering a wide variety of items that are mostly local. You will also soon be able to build your own sand-wiches to go, and they are working on making local tours available to book onsite.
Pieces from local artisans such as Tahirah Hall, Tanelle Hindley, and Teresa-Marie Bagshaw are all featured in the shop. There are paintings,
leather jewelry, pot-tery, even a magical glacier-sourced mud mask, unique in its purity. Jen is also stocking yoga items from Halfmoon yoga and some outdoor items, such as water bottles and mugs. You can also pur-chase locally made wild salmon products from renowned local business, Bella Coola Valley Seafoods. So, if you are looking for a great spot to grab a coffee and enjoy a beautiful (sunny) walk with friends, check out Wildman Coffee and Gifts.
Dunsworth and others panned the “business model” that sees coastal fer-ries as a business that can lose money or make a profit while the costs of inland ferries, operated by the same ministry, are seen as investments in the provincial econ-omy, like the costs of schools, hospitals, and highways.
Brian Lande, rep-resenting the Central Coast Regional District, spoke of mismanagement in BC Ferries, who claim that the BC Ferries system is highly com-plex, but he wonders if they looked at the system in Norway, which serves commu-
nities from the same latitude as northern BC to well north of the Arctic Circle.
North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice (NDP) pointed to a recent Prince Rupert study entitled “Beyond Hope”, a reference to a perceived neglect in Victoria of British Columbia’s hinter-land.
She urged the crowd to move up close to her so she could look them “directly in the eye” – an obvious reference to Transportation Minister Todd Stone. In standing by his guns on his decision to pull the Queen of Chilliwack out of ser-vice, Stone has repeat-edly said this was a
“tough decision” and he will look “directly in the eyes” of those who object. Stone has yet to satisfy charges that the public was not sufficiently con-sulted during the BC Ferries “community engagement” process that accompanied the decision to cut ferry services.
Rice noted that the cuts were made with-out a socio-economic impact study because the government oper-ates the ferry service on a business model.
Rice urged the Bella Coola commu-nity and all British Columbians to visit the YouTube video of talk show host Christy Clark eight years ago recommending a gov-
ernment takeover of BC Ferries and putting the system back into the Transportation
ministry. The video also shows Clark recently defending the ferries cuts.
In contrast to an earlier speaker who said, “We are no lon-ger angry: now we
are determined.” Rice said, “I am still angry – very angry - and we are not giving up.”

Valley writer/story teller Lorna Layton and trouba-dour Doug Baker were among those
performing at the recent “Word in the Valley” event hosted by the Bella Coola Valley Arts Council. Also on hand were violinist Barbara Schellert and Ara Thommasen (event organizer), reading a selection of her poetry and poems by former Valley resi-dent Mike Johnson – all performing to a full house at the Council’s Valley Gallery in Hagensborg.
The Council has begun to renova-tions on the inte-rior of the former teacher residence in order to accommo-date larger perform-ing arts events, and has set up a fund specifically for such activities. Valley residents interested in performing here should contact Council Director Ray McIlwain.
Later in the spring, the Gallery is to get new lighting
and a new roof and exterior improve-ments, thanks to BC
Arts Council fund-ing. The Council is grateful to School
District #49 for pro-viding this venue for the arts in the Valley.

Dear Editor,
On March 1, a large group of family and friends came together at the Hagensborg Legion to celebrate the life of Ken Corbould, who had passed away earlier this year. The event was entertaining and enjoyable as so many humorous sto-
ries were shared about the fun-loving and creative character that was Ken.
Friends and family came from as far as the other side of our conti-nent to pay respect and celebrate the achieve-ments and antics of this wonderful man. Ken’s professional work as a forestry engi-
neer and his passion-ate involvement with the Tweedsmuir Ski Club were highlighted in the range of stories that were told that eve-ning.
However, while not wanting to overtake the lighter side of Ken, I feel compelled to remind of some of the more serious and valu-able works that Ken undertook in his recent lifetime. I worked alongside Ken in many different circumstances and want to highlight a few of the serious con-tributions that Ken’s
passion for nature, and fisheries in particular, have contributed to our Valley.
As a weather recorder, Ken moni-tored and reported to Environment Canada on temperature, pre-cipitation and wind activities in the Stuie area for many, many years. He also assisted with the design and construction of the Atnarko spawning channel and did sig-nificant work to man-age the stability of the drift boat corridor from Belarko to the Steep
Roof boat launch. As a long-time
member of the pro-vincial Sport Fish Advisory Committee, Ken provided valuable first-hand knowledge to guide the setting of catch quotas and other valuable resource regulations that gave the provincial fisheries agency much needed knowledge of the actual conditions in the Atnarko, Talchako and Bella Coola River systems.
And not least, as a founding direc-tor of the Bella
Coola Watershed Conservation Society, Ken was instrumen-tal in the successful lobby to designate the Atnarko River as a motor-restricted water-way, forever preserving it from the negative impacts of jet boats and other power-craft that he saw as endan-gering the safety and habitat of the those who used the river as a food source and recre-ational area… and that includes the bears.
Ken volunteered countless hours to set up the society’s
resource center and was always on hand to provide carpentry skills or to offer thoughtful direction to the initia-tives that the organiza-tion was considering.
Ken is already missed but his efforts are most appreciated and will not be forgot-ten. And, yes, he really made us laugh and would be really upset with me for writing about him. Sorry Ken, but I would have done it regardless.
Respectfully,Stephen Waugh
Hagensborg

Michael Higgins, Regional Manager and Teron Moore, a Seismic Specialist with Emergency Management BC joined the meeting and presented a short video and slide pre-sentation focusing on tsunami preparedness and notification. It was noted this is timely in that it is nearing the 50th anniversary of the Great Alaskan earthquake and tsu-nami and three years and one day since the devastating Japanese tsunami three years ago. EMBC wants to work with local governments to sup-port their emergency planning for tsunami preparedness.
Jan Prins, spokes-person for the Central Coast Electoral Area Restructure Study (CCEARS) group, addressed the board and requested CCRD hold an Open House to make the public more aware of the sta-tus of the Restructure Study as it cannot go forward without pub-lic consultation.
The CAO spoke to item (C)(f) on the agenda, “Restructure Study-Liaison Committee Recommendations”, which is a report to the board for their consideration outlin-ing the outcomes of the two meetings
with the CCEARS group. The report also includes, by way of an example, a copy of the North Island Regional Protocol Agreement.
The CAO went on to comment that, regarding meeting with the community and Open Houses, staff will be starting the Strategic Planning process in April and going out to the community is key. There are plans to engage the commu-nity numerous times between April and November when the plan will be adopted. She gave an overview of the foreseeable con-versations that need to happen and stressed that the plan is inte-grated and includes all peoples. Although it will be a huge pro-cess, the quality of the document is going to be dependent on the input received from the community.
The CCRD was successful in its appli-cation to Northern Development Initiative Trust to host a local government management intern for one year.
The intern posi-tion will be funded by a generous $35,000 grant from NDIT. The intern, who will be mentored by CAO Darla Blake, will be involved in learn-ing and experienc-
ing all aspects of a local government career. The intern will undertake Economic Development train-ing during the month of May, then start at the CCRD from 1 June 2014.
The CCRD approved an appli-cation to be made for grant funding from the BC Healthy Communities Capacity Building Plan H to the value of $20,000 to achieve the Valley Volunteer and Health Initiative out-comes.
The CCRD will send a letter to Networks BC request-ing reliable cell and internet services to remote outer coast communities, follow-ing years of unreliable cell, internet and tele-phone service to outer coast communities.
The 2013 Pre-Audit Financial Report - Draft, pre-audit financial statements for the period January 1 – December 31, 2013 were presented with commentary for variations between budgeted and actual figures for the infor-mation of the board. The audited financial statements will be presented at the April meeting of the board.
A Solid Waste Management Funding Briefing Paper was presented outlining
options for achieving a balanced budget for the Thorsen Creek Waste and Recycling Center.
The Five-Year Financial Plan (2014-2018) has been modi-fied since the February presentation, most notably by reducing the requisition for the functions of Economic Development and Emergency Management in favor of the neces-sary increase to the Thorsen Creek Waste and Recycling Center (TCWRC).
The distribution of the levy between electoral areas is noticeably changed since both Economic Development and Emergency Management derive tax revenue from all five electoral areas, and the TCWRC is paid for only by the ratepayers in Electoral Areas C, D and E. Although the tax levy has been redis-tributed, the overall increase is still project-ed to be 6.2 percent as directed by the board at the December 2013 board meeting.
The regional dis-trict auditors have now completed their fieldwork and will be providing confirma-tion of 2013 surpluses which will be factored into the financial plan. For this reason, the
Board resolved to hold a Special Meeting on March 24, 2014 for the purpose of adopting the Five-Year Financial Plan 2014-2018.
The Public Works Department report highlights develop-ments and issues surrounding the Thorsen Creek Waste and Recycling Center (TCWRC), recreation facilities, the Bella Coola Airport, town site water and street lighting.
Public Works Manager, Ken McIlwain, spoke to activities at the Thorsen Creek Waste and Recycling Center regarding the finan-
cial challenges and options going forward.
The Board was advised the Vertical Baler for recycling has arrived and this will be set up over the next two months in antici-pation of the MMBC program start-up; design work has start-ed on upgrades to the Recycling Center at Thorsen Creek Waste and Recycling Center.
The new Ministry of Environment Landfill Criteria will have a significant impact on small regional landfills like that of CCRD. The Public Works Manager has joined a work-ing group of other regional districts and
municipalities con-cerned with the new criteria, and to look for workable options.
New seats were installed on the swing set at Walker Island Park. Thanks to the Snootli Creek Hatchery who gener-ously donated and installed an aluminum grate over the west window of the warm-ing hut at the skating rink.
The CCRD also thanks Caroline Granander for all her work on a volunteer basis. Many other volunteers’ hard work contributed to making it a successful month for skating.

Bella Coola Valley Learning Society
By Janice Kyle
If you happened to walk by the Moose Hall last weekend you would have been amazed at the great sounds of fiddles, gui-tars and pianos waft-ing from the doors and windows! The ‘Fiddle Fun’ program offered by the Bella Coola Valley Learning Society has added real depth to the after school fiddle classes for children and adults.
Music began at Bella Coola Elementary and Acwsalcta School performed by two of Canada’s most engaging fiddlers and teachers, Gordon
Stobbe and JJ Guy. The laughter from the children was heartwarming as they learned music, helped JJ learn “Dum dee diddly diidly do” and a visit by the Maestro. (Ask any child for clari-fication.) They also played to them as they skipped back to their classrooms.
‘New Horizon’s for Seniors’ funding provided for an after-noon concert of such requested tunes as “the Kentucky Waltz”, “Crooked Stovepipe” and “Orange Blossom Special”. We are sorry for those who were sick and could not attend.
Over the rest of
the weekend, thanks to the Williams Lake and District Credit Union, Gordon and JJ taught fiddlers from ages five to over 60 throughout the week-end. At the potluck/square dance they entertained us in the Old Time/ East Coast tradition of Canadian music. There were many smiling happy faces doing the Virginia Reel, Sasha, squares, foxtrots and waltzs. An amazing night of fun!
Without a doubt, they have inspired us with their enthu-siasm, friendliness, patience and talent. Gordon and JJ have now created the con-nection of fiddling
through the Cariboo region and finally, the Bella Coola Valley is a part of it. Thank you to everyone who made this event a huge success.
The fiddlers will share their new tunes at the Music Night at Augsburg Church Friday, March 21, 7pm along with Lois Casperson. They have learned a great deal in the short time they have played.
The next musi-cal event will be a program, ‘Artstarts Artist-in-Residence at BC,’ happening April 7 – 11. There will be fiddles, guitars and pianos lessons at the school among other project-based oppor-
tunities for students. Calvin Cairns and
Roxanna Sabir will teach at the school, lead several adult lessons in the eve-ning and perform a concert at the Moose Hall, Wednesday, April 9, 7pm.
They, too, have taught all over British Columbia and the North, performing, teaching ay fiddle camps and creating CDs.
New classes begin after the Spring Break for beginners from ages five and up. Feel free to call the New Leaf Learning Centre for more informa-tion about getting involved! 250 799-5822

The driver of a vehicle left running in 4 Mile reported that while away briefly, two thieves entered the car and stole a quantity of cash from within. Vehicle operators are reminded to secure their vehicles at all times they are not with them and not to leave valuables in sight within.
On Tuesday March 11, 2014 Police located some tools on the shoul-der of Highway 20, just east of the
town site of Bella Coola. If you are the owner of these tools, please attend the Bella Coola RCMP Detachment and provide a descrip-tion of these tools to claim.
An alert valley resident advised the detachment that he had been receiving tele-marketing calls that were display-ing local (prefix 982) phone numbers on his call display.
This process is called “spoofing,” the caller can display any number they choose to the receiv-ing phone number and is not illegal.
Our complainant
observed that the number displayed was higher than the local directory num-bers are assigned.
The highest 982 area number is just under 982-3300.
If you receive a call from a number that is from 250-982-3300 or higher you should be aware that this is not a local caller.
Telus Security advises that these calls frequently originate from auto-diallers that continu-ously call numbers until the call is picked up.
If you are receiv-ing nuisance calls such as this you can
block the last call received by hang-ing up, then picking up the phone and entering * 60. This service is provided free of charge by Telus for up to 10 numbers.
If you have infor-mation regarding these incidents or any other criminal activity, please call Crime Stoppers at 1 800 222-8477 or the Bella Coola RCMP at 250 799-5363.
Crime stoppers also subscribes to web tips at www.bccrimestoppers.com . Callers remain anonymous and tips can lead to cash rewards.

Bella Coola RCMP Report
March 2014
Coast Mountain News Thursday, March 27, 2014 A7
Under its new regulations, the BC Government has set up an association led by big corporations to take over the local Blue Box recycling program throughout BC. If you look closely, you’ll see that of seven board members, six are executives of Toronto-based multi-national corporations, with the seventh weighing in from Montreal.
How do you like that, British Columbia?
This means, unlike the current program run locally by BC municipalities, this new program will be managed not by people whose fi rst responsibility is our local environment, but rather, their Bay St. profi ts.
That can’t be a good thing for BC.
The most perplexing thing is that we currently have a Blue Box program that works, is effi cient, and costs BC homeowners just
$35 a year on average. The new proposed system does not guarantee to keep our local environment as its fi rst priority, nor does it guarantee that there won’t be job losses here in BC.
It doesn’t guarantee service levels, or say anything about how big business will pass along the costs to you when you go to pick up a pizza or buy groceries.
Yikes!
Perhaps this is why several of BC’s municipalities refuse to sign onto the new program, calling it a “scam.” Given that, maybe it’s time you called Premier Clark to keep BC’s environmental decisions right here in BC where they belong.
What’s going on here?
Email Christy Clark at [email protected] or call 250-387-1715. For more info, visit RethinkItBC.ca. #RethinkItBC.

New Leaf Learning Centre and Frontier College will be test-ing a new concept in learning for adult
learners for many aspects of life includ-ing reading, writing and computer skills like Word, Excel and Database.
Microsoft and its Lync program have funded Frontier College to develop a means to reach adult learners throughout
Canada. Your tutor may live in Toronto or Thunder Bay!
There is space for five learners to test the waters for eight weeks. This could be just what we need in Bella Coola as a rural remote community to have access to expert
volunteers in these areas. Computers are available at the New Leaf Learning Centre or learners may learn from their own home computer. The project will start mid-April.
Please call Janice to find out more 250 799-5822.

CCRD hostsTsunami 101
ForumPReSS ReleaSe
On 12 March 2014, Central Coast Regional District (CCRD) hosted an Emergency Management BC (EMBC) public edu-cation forum on emergency prepared-ness in the Central Coast region.
The forum took place in the Bella Coola Valley Inn meeting room, and with standing room only, attendees listened to a pre-sentation by EMBC
seismic specialist, Teron Moore, on the hazards posed by a tsunami, notification and how to prepare for a tsunami.
The Central Coast Regional District would like to thank all those who came out during the sup-per hour forum and for their participation in the discussion fol-lowing the presen-tation. Even more pleasing is the level of interest which has been expressed from community members offering to sign up as
volunteers to assist in the event of an emer-gency.
The CCRD hopes to bring the Emergency Management BC trainers back to the region for similar forums at Bella Bella and Denny Island.

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-
