On September 29th lots of folks braved the cold weather and threat of rain to “migrate” to Snoolti Hatchery for the semi-annual Coho Festival jointly hosted by the Central Coast Fisherman’s Protective Association and DFO staff.

Participants could enjoy a delicious lunch of BBQ’d troll caught coho donated by CCFPA member and fisherman Croydon Lansdowne and take in the many fishy activities offered. There were informational

displays by the Bella Coola Watershed Conservation Society (BCWCS)and BC Parks plus games for small fry and adults alike. Everyone got 3 spins on the WHEEL OF DEATH salmon survival game that illustrates the challenges of survival for pacific salmon and then could “Eggstimate” of the number eggs in a dish with each game award-ing a prize for the lucky winner (or survivor…). The pre-festival coloring contest posters were displayed on the freezer building wall for all to admire and though judging was difficult, the prize winners were: Fry (age 4-6),

1st Shaylan Moody, 2nd Sage Gray and 3rd Morgan Boileau; Fingerling (age 7-9), 1st Torger Mathews, 2nd Ross King and 3rd Elsie Carlson; Smolt (age 10-12), 1st Haydan Nygarrd, 2nd Byron Knox and 3rd Kai Gunderson.

For little fisher folk there was the “FISHIN POND” where every “cast” was a lucky one. The more avid sport fishers tried their hand at the FISH ON simulator where through a video activated controller hooked to a fishing rod, they could hook and play a coho salmon as seen on a TV screen and get scored. The top fisher of the day was Aaron

Schieck with 2075 points. Aaron took home a lucky fishing hat and a couple of Kitamat Lures (barbless of course) to use on real coho right here on the Bella Coola River!

Everyone on hand took an interest in the Chinook salmon eggtake demonstration by Haakon Hammer, Marshall Hans (Snootli Hatchery staff) and Croydon Lansdowne (CCFPA) and Kaila Willis (a very able volunteer using her skills from several years as a summer stu-dent at Snootli Hatchery!). The eggtake is a perfect tool for folks to learn about the physiology

and life cycle of salmon and a great opportunity for some “small fry” to fertilize the eggs by mixing eggs and sperm together. They know that “their” eggs will become fry in late February or early March of next year. The crowd was quite impressed with the fact that each of the Chinook salmon females had approxi-mately 5,000 eggs and that it takes only a couple of drops of sperm to fertilize them all.

As always at the Coho Festival there was a Leaky Wader Fisherman’s Relay and this year we had four enthusiastic teams.

The Coho Festival a Good Catch!

Bella Coola RCMP Detachment recieve scam letter The fine print

An alert valley resident brought a potential scam letter to the attention of the Bella Coola RCMP this week. He had received an envelope package, which at first glance appeared to indicate that he would be awarded $15,000. On closer examina-tion the mailing is a solicitation to enter into a draw for the $15,000 and requiring the recipient to mail the company $20. Although this is not an outright fraud, it is so misleadingly written that it may prompt the unwary to respond for their “prize”. This solicitation for a gam-bling venture may not be legal in BC however may be an

actual contest. On fur-ther review of the fine print, the odds and prize become sub-stantially diminished. The complainant doesn’t know how this organization obtained his address and name, he observed that this promotion appears to be aimed at seniors. Should you receive any similar unsolicited mail that you are unsure of, do not hesitate to bring it to the attention of the RCMP detach-ment for your area. You can also report the suspicious mail or internet contacts to www.phonebusters.com ,the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre or research their website for directions and advice.

Overdue fishermanOn September

24th, 2013 Bella Coola RCMP received a report that a sport fisherman visiting Bella Coola over the weekend had failed to report to work that morning. Bella Coola Detachment patrolled the usual freshwater fishing sites and enlisted the assistance of BC Parks personnel, Interior Roads employees and the general public to watch for the man. The man was located safe and sound and no emergency situ-ation had occurred. This incident high-lights how important it is to advise someone when you are going to the wilderness, when you will be returning

and to update those persons if you are delayed. Much thanks to everyone who has pitched in to ensure the safety of those in our valley.

Bicycles and trucksOn September 27th

a near miss between a bicyclist and a truck near Bella Coola was reported. The cyclist was to the right of the white line at the road edge however the winds created by the passing truck nearly caused the cyclist to upset. Although cyclists and vehicles share the lane, drivers overtaking the bikes need to do so safely, for all involved. This may require slowing or providing addition-al space around the vehicle being passed.

MONICA LAMB-YORSKI WL TRIBUNE

A bus loaded with elders and leaders from Xeni Gwet’in (Nemiah) will makes its way across the country arriving in time for the William rights and title case being heard in the Supreme Court of Canada in Ottawa on Nov. 7.

“We’ve done all these steps to fight and protect our rights and title as a nation,” Xeni Gwet’in chief Roger William said, adding the importance of the William case cannot be overestimated because it raises one of the most central issues of indigenous rights that exist in Canada. “The question of the land rights First Nations hold today over the lands they controlled before the Crown asserted sov-ereignty is central, and the way this question is answered will deter-mine the place of First Nations in Canadian society, the extent to which they will control their own future and the

shape of Crown-First Nations relations for decades to come.”

“This case is an important opportu-nity to take concrete steps forward toward reconciliation in this country,” said AFN National Chief Shawn Atleo in May. “Respect and recognition is the basis of opportunity and successful partner-ships required to build a stronger sustainable future for First Nations and all Canadians.”

There have been nine judges, several intervenors, and lots of back and forth between the provincial and fed-eral governments since July, William said.

The court case is in William’s name. He said he’s been involved with it right from the begin-ning. Back in 1989 his elders predicted the case would end up at the Supreme Court.

It was at that time the Xeni Gwet’in declared that nothing would happen without their involvement — no commercial mining, no commercial logging.

Their decision led to

court cases, road blocks, attempted negotiations and agreements with government, because they realized they had to back up the declara-tion, he added.

As the court date draws close, William said he thinks often of the elders who testi-fied in court but have passed on today.

“I’m not even think-ing about the ultimate outcome and decision, but more about the enormous sacrifices Xeni Gwet’in elders and members made to pro-tect 80 per cent of our caretaker area inside the Chilcotin.”

Final details for the bus trip are not finalized, however it is hoped the bus will depart on Oct. 30, mak-ing stops in each prov-ince to meet with local residents.

The stops will pro-vide an opportunity to introduce community members who testi-fied in the court case between 2002 and 2007, William said. It’s going to be a week-long title case trip for one day in court, he chuckled.

Yunesit'in Band Council declareban on Limited Entry Moose HuntMONICA LAMB-YORSKI WL TRIBUNE

Members of the Yunesit'in Band Council have declared a ban on the remaining limited entry moose hunt in the South Chilcotin, effective Friday, Oct. 4.

"The band council has prepared moose monitors at each bridge periodically that which will affect areas M.U. 5-03, 5-04, 5-05. Affected communities may follow suit," the band said in a press release issued Thursday evening.

Moose monitors will

enforce the band by turning away all ATVs and similar off-road vehicles.

First Nations hunters will be advised to take only bull moose and no more than one moose will be allowed. LEH hunters will be turned away and informa-tional pamphlets will be handed out to local residents and others.

“There are larger issues with respect to the reasons for the moose decline, such as damage to the ecosys-tem," Yunesit'in Chief Russell Myers Ross told the Tribune Advisor Thursday evening.

"However, there are immediate conserva-

tion needs," he said. "We do not feel like the Province is taking us or this issue seriously. It will take decades for the moose to recover to the state they were a few years ago.”

First Nations are not afraid of asserting their Aboriginal right to hunt, and "sometimes this means protecting that right in ways we feel justified, Tl'esqox (Toosey) Chief Francis Laceese stated in the press release.

The Yunesit’in Council sent a letter to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Resource Operations, on March 26, 2013, requesting a chance to meet and

provide recommenda-tions, Myers Ross said.

"It's my impression that we tried to reach out quite early on so that we would be part of the process, and we didn't get the courtesy of a response at all," he said.

"I guess they figured it would be under the Tsilhqot'in National Government umbrella, but we felt they should be giving us the cour-tesy of a response by phone or anything."

The communities have made a number of recommendations to the government for a number of years, but don't feel they've had a voice, Myers Ross said.

Build it and they will come. That’s the phrase Cecil Grinder keeps mulling over as he prepares the sweat lodge site at Teztan Biny (Fish Lake) for another sacred cer-emony.

Hosting a five-night/six-day event in that remote part of the Chilcotin at the end of September is no small matter. There are no guarantees the weath-er will cooperate or anyone will show up, but Cecil went ahead anyway and laid the groundwork.

Since he retired from a 20-year career with the RCMP, Cecil has turned his energy to helping the youth of his Tsilhqot’in Nation. He has a gift for that, and his way with young people is impressive. He mixes gentle firmness and persistence with car-ing and understand-ing, and empowers those around him with responsibility.

Cecil laughs how delegating responsibil-ity lightens his load.

When we arrive at the public camp-ground at Teztan Biny on September 26 it was already getting dark. It was Day Three of the six-day event, and we were just in time for the evening sweat.

I was apprehensive about heading out to an event billed as a four-day fasting sweat. I’ve been around the block enough times to realize it’s not wise to engage in something you are not prepared for. At the same time it felt important to support Cecil’s noble cause. Cecil Grinder’s “noble cause” at Teztan Biny began several years ago when he hosted a four-day fasting sweat for a young man ready to pursue his inner spiri-tual quest. That’s when Cecil first built the big sweat lodge and set up the camp at the end of the road beyond the public campground. A smaller fasting lodge was erected in a secluded spot nearby.

I was glad to learn that the fasting part of the sweat wasn’t man-datory, so I willingly joined in.

Nine of us took part in the ceremony that night, three women and six men. Two of the participants were high school youth that Cecil was mentoring.

In a shift from his usual role as Tsilhqot’in National Government (TNG) legal counsel, Jay Nelson, scooped red glowing rocks from the fire with a long-handled fork, and passed them to Cecil who placed them care-fully in the centre pit of the lodge. All sum-mer Jay had dutifully worked around the clock representing the TNG at the environ-mental panel hearings for the proposed New Prosperity Mine at Fish Lake.

Grinder keeps sweat lodges alive and well

Now he was on the land participat-ing in the Tsilhqot’in culture with his wife, Dominique, and young son, Sasha, in a way he had never done before.

Next to me in the lodge was Friends of Nemiah Valley (FONV) president David Williams. I didn’t even know David had come into the lodge until it was his turn to speak and offer a prayer.

For more than two decades David has been a tireless sup-porter of the Xeni Gwet’in efforts to secure the rights and control of their tradi-tional territory. He also played a significant role at the recent panel hearings, by bringing several expert wit-nesses to testify.

Once the rocks were in place for the first round, Jay Nelson closed the blanket opening to the lodge and the Cecil passed the duty of running the sweat to his 16-year-old protégé, Peyal Laceese.

Peyal, a student at the Carson Campus of Lake City High School in Williams Lake, has been following the Red Road, as he puts it, for several years. He is a grass dancer at

Pow Wows in Western Canada and the United States and learned the traditions of the sweat lodge from Sioux elders.

“There’s no wrong way to pray in the Sioux tradition,” he tells us. “Speak from your heart.”

The other youth in the sweat was Jasmine Quilt, also a student at Lake City Secondary. Her academic assign-ment for missing a week of school was to keep a journal of the ceremony. The other youth at the ceremony was Shania Cook.

On my other side in the sweat circle was Xeni Gwet’in elder, Norman William, who grew up at Little Fish Lake. He served as Cecil’s right-hand man throughout the six days, cutting fire-wood, helping set up the camp, and show-ing people around the area.

The men all sat together, and next to Norman was Emery Phillips, spouse of for-mer Xeni Gwet’in chief and now band council-or, Marilyn Baptiste. As Cecil pointed out later, the sweat brings out the sincere emotional side of participants. He said Emery is no exception. “He has supported our Teztan Biny sweat ceremony from the beginning.”

Next to Emery was Marilyn, and beside Marilyn was my part-ner, Caterina Geuer.

That made nine of us going the four rounds of the sweat that first evening. For each round more rocks were added from the fire, and the tem-perature rose inside the willow-frame hut, covered with tarps and blankets. I sweated profusely in this ancient fellowship connecting the raw elements of nature, spirit and matter. I’ve been here before. We humans have the abil-ity to create sacred space, simply by our intention and agree-ment. God knows it has been done before with temples, cathe-drals, mosques and pyramids around the world.

Each night the for-

mation of the sweat was different. On the second and third nights, I took over as rock bearer so Jay, Dominique and Sasha could experience it.

Xeni Gwet’in Chief Roger William took one night from his busy schedule to take part in the ceremony. “The prayers and drumming were for our lands, resources, community members and leaders,” he said later.

In all more than 40 people came and went from the camp over the six days. Some took part in the sweats; oth-ers just visited, or sup-ported the gathering in various ways.

Cecil’s spouse, Doreen William, also grew up at Teztan Biny. “One thing I love about this area,” she said, “it tests you with its weather. It’s a very strong spiritual place. You can hear it breath-ing, the wolves howl-ing in the background, danzden (loons) sing-ing on the lake, the wind whistling, the trees rustling nearby.”

On the final morn-ing, Cecil surveys the camp and reflects on the past few days. He marvels how it all came together, almost like magic. “We came out here with a little bit of food, and people kept bringing stuff. I think we had more food at the end than we started with.”

Unlike some of the large cultural gather-ings, the Teztan Biny sweat ceremony wasn’t funded. People did everything on their own.

Peyal Laceese, who was named after the son of historic Tsilhqot’in war chief Klatsassin, said the Teztan Biny sweat ceremony was a fun learning experience. “I thank everyone for passing the knowledge of our traditions and look forward to future opportunities.”

He won’t have long to wait. Cecil has already set the date for the next Teztan Biny sweat gathering for the last weekend in May 2014. “If you build it, people will come,” he repeats.

Building on tradition at Teztan Biny

On September 22, papers were handed out to all the kids in B.C.E. if you wanted to collect money for cancer research. You would walk around your neighbour-hood or somewhere around town and go up to houses and ask for money for can-cer research and if they gave you money they would write on the sheet their first name and last name and what their address was. Then

you would bring it in the next school day. On September 26, B.C.E school went on a Terry Fox walk around town and then walked back to school. Before the Terry Fox run we had an assembly and Mrs. D showed us a short video about Terry Fox and Mrs. D said that if we raised over 200 dollars who ever raised money would get put in a draw. If you were picked you would

get to throw a tinfoil plate full of whip-ping cream at Mrs. D. Fran said that if we raised over 1000 dollars she would do something. Mrs. D. told us that we had raised more than $1200. The grade 5’s were partnered with the grade 1/2’s and the grade ‘4s were partnered with the Kindergarten. When we went back to the school we all gath-ered at the covered area and were told

that Fran’s secret was that she was getting her hair shaved off and Mrs. D was join-ing her.

When I asked

Fran why she shaved her hair she said “in support people who are battling cancer”. When I asked Mrs. D she said I wanted to

show my support for Fran so she wouldn’t have to shave here head alone. This cause was important to me because my

dad is currently bat-tling cancer and I have lost someone special people to this disease. “

By Finn Carlson

Through the driv-ing force of Ashley Brown and Nelson Siwallace, the com-munity has raised $4310 in memory of their son Kyson Bryan Levi Siwallace. “We couldn’t have done it without the great support of our community, for our community. This is for your kids, my kids, and our grand-kids.” said Wanda Edgar one of the main organizers. The raffle auction had over 30 items, was staffed by over 40 volunteers and participants, and many people who came with food and baked goods for those at Nuxalk Hall. “It still just blows me away. All of this was donations, and it wasn’t just busi-nesses either, it was everybody, it really was the commu-nity” One particular story she related

was a disabled elder who came to the Hall and wanted to help. Despite hav-ing so little herself, she went home and made a care pack-age to be donated back. “She wanted to give anything at all. She wanted to participate. It really touched a cord in all of our hearts. We made a special auc-tion item for hers.”

Suezie Koury, Clinical Care Coordinator, was on-hand to receive the donation.

“The hospital has been really touched by this, and we very much appreciate this gesture. It’s really amazing how this family, and commu-nity, has raised such a substantial amount of money for other kids with special needs.”

The funds raised will go to purchas-ing new pediatric

equipment for the hospital. A new vein illuminator is first on the list.

This device shines a light on the vein itself, helping to make it easier for technicians to see, and results in less

poking and prod-ding. A new “non-invasive” thermom-eter is to be bought, which scans your forehead, reduc-ing disturbances at night. Lastly, a new crib will be pur-chased to replace the

existing one. “It’s a new design, and will benefit both patient and their families. It will be easier for families to interact with patients with-out waking them.”

“This was also a way of reminding

the community that we do have kids with special needs here, to show support, and to raise awareness, not only for the kids, but for the parents and families of these kids. "It takes a lot to raise a child with

special needs.” Said Wanda.

“To all those who helped, volunteered, and worked tirelessly to make this hap-pen, THANK-YOU! A special thanks to Miranda Tallio for co-organizing!”

The relay had four parts that included getting geared up in rather oversized wad-ers, wading belts, fish-ing vests and lucky hats to go catch “fish”, then transport fertiliza-tion eggs and put them in “incubators”. While eggs were incubat-ing, the next station involved sorting out a bag of letters to make a name of a local stream (very impressive how the teams came up with Nuxalk and Snooka!). The final station was heading back to the egg incu-bator to “shock” eggs, pick out the “dead” and count the ”live”. It was such a close race that the “US” team won top spot by only 1 point! They are in the photo with the cook shades and fuzzy friend prize.

The finale of the Coho Festival is the Merganzer “Eggs”travaganzer Duck Race held just above the Snootli Creek Bridge. A tote of numbered ducks is “released” upstream and race fans get to see how river hydrology can mess up a sizable

lead and the winner cannot be determined until the finishing line. Congratulations to lucky ducks, Morgan Boileau, Vera Robson and Gary Radstack who took home prizes of a Fishing Rod and Reel combo, Wind Chime and Multitool knife set.

The CCFPA want to let folks know that any proceeds from the fund raising activi-ties go to local Coho salmon enhancement and assessment work. It is not widely known that coho enhance-ment is not funded by DFO and likely would not occur without the involvement of the CCFPA and funds they are able to provide. The group welcome new members so give Shirley Willson, Croydon Lansdowne or Darwin Unrau a call!

Festival organizers would like to thank all the DFO staff, CCFPA & BCWCS members, BC Parks staff and community volunteers who contributed their time and energy to make it such a fun day and to all the commu-nity folks and visitors that came by.

DR. PAUL MARTIQUET, MEDICAL HEALTH OFFICER

Sleep, glorious sleep... how I wish for thee. How often does that refrain enter your mind? Is it every night, or maybe just once in a while? Why do we sleep, or not?

Decades of research has led to the ‘conclu-sion’ that we sleep because it allows the brain and central nervous system to

function properly. Not a very satisfying answer, is it? We think we know that sleep is an important partner for memory, allowing newly formed memo-ries to strengthen and weeding out old ones.

The general per-ception is that adults should be getting six to eight hours of sleep per night. But that varies tremendously as some people need a maxi-mum of just six, while others cannot function on less than eight to

10 hours. No matter the length of sleep, the quality of that sleep is just as important.

Sleep comes to us in four stages, or phases. Initially, after closing our eyes and starting

to shut down we will be in a very light sleep and can be awakened quite easily. Usually it feels like we were never even asleep. This may last about 10 to 15 minutes after which stage two takes us deeper. There is a slowing of electrical activity, the heart rate slows and muscles will start to relax. The body is preparing to enter deep sleep.

Stages three and four are deep, restful sleep, especially dur-

ing stage four. This is known as delta or slow-wave sleep. This is when the body repairs and regenerates tissue, builds bone and muscles, and appears to strengthen the immune system.

Sleep is controlled by the body’s own timer. Called the cir-cadian clock, these rhythms include body temperature, blood pressure and the release of hormones. As darkness approach-es, the body responds by releasing melatonin in the brain. Melatonin promotes drowsiness, telling the brain it is time to go to sleep.

Habit is also an important element in sleep cycles. Go to bed and get up at a consis-tent time and you are likely to sleep more, and better.

Insomnia is the inability to fall sleep, to stay asleep, or to get back to sleep once awakened. It affects about a third of us, and about half of people over 65. In many instances you might fall asleep but wake after a few hours and not be able to get back to sleep.

This is often asso-ciated with stress or anxiety. Lack of sleep

in quantity, quality or both is associated with many factors includ-ing lessening the effectiveness of the immune system and lowering resistance to infection. Studies have also linked poor sleep to increased risk of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, stroke and heart attack. These associations do not mean one causes the other, but they are defi-nitely linked.

Poor sleep can have adverse effects on the brain and central ner-vous system leading to impaired concentra-tion and coordination, lost productivity, emo-tional instability and poor judgement.

Getting a good night’s sleep is one way to make sure you have a good day, and it will help with your health. How much should you be getting? Just as much as we need to feel refreshed and alert the next day. Good night.

Dr. Paul Martiquet is the Medical Health Officer for Rural Vancouver Coastal Health including Powell River, the Sunshine Coast, Sea-to-Sky, Bella Bella and Bella Coola.

SUBMITTED BY COLEEN FRASER

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-
