62nd Annual Bella Coola Fall Fair sees great turnoutIt was a picture perfect day
at the Bella Coola Fall Fair grounds for the 62nd annual Fall Fair. The community came out in droves to spectate, par-ticipate, and enjoy the atmo-sphere.
The fair began with the parade which saw decorated bikes, floats, and horses all decked out in the 'fairytale' theme. Fair organizers were thrilled with the two floats were entered in the parade with the first place prize going to a beau-tifully done 'Frozen' themed float created by Luke Bittner, Emma Brown, Morgan Nelson and their parents. Centennial Pool's cleverly designed pool float took second place.
“We loved seeing the two floats entered, they were both very well-done,” said Fair orga-nizer Sarah Matthews. “We hope this encourages more
people to enter floats next year.” Parent Abra Silver, whose 'Frozen' float took top honours, agrees. “It was a really fun expe-rience and the kids had a great time,” she said. “I recommend more people do it!”
In the Children's Parade first place went to Molly Moren, Ava MacDonald was second and Cora Harestad was third. In the Family Category first place went to Jerome White, Camilla Saunders and Della Saunders. Second was William and Ben Dishkin and third was Josiah and Naomi den Otter.
There were also almost a dozen horses entered in the competition, with kudos going to Caroline Granander and Vickie Tuck for all of their hard work creating costumes for the riders. First place in the Horse Parade Pee-Wee Division went to Isla Hodgson riding
Embla, first place Intermediate went to Tamara Robson and second place to Ryder Mudry. In the Junior Division Rachel Chatham won first place for Best Groomed with Seri Vosgurgh in first for Best Costume. In the Adult Open Division Wendy Kingsley won first place for Best Groomed and Annika Granander was first for Best Costume.
Exhibit Division Winners were Ilma Matthews (Cut Flowers), Cindy Nygaard (Potted Plants), Rick Ratcliff (Vegetables), and a three-way tie for Fruit (Rick Ratcliff, Skye Newkirk and Adell Robson). Adell Robson also won Canning and Preserves and Home Cooking, and Alison Sayers won Dairy Products.
Needlework and Quilting went to Doreen Underhill, while Erin Chapman and Ray
McIlwain won for Beer and Wine.
Photography went to Cindy Nygaard and Ray McIlwain won Arts, Crafts and Hobbies and Special Contests. Camilla Saunders was a big winner, tak-ing both the Children's Section top spot and the Overall Child. Overall Adult went to Cindy Nygaard.
The Logger Sports were once again a big hit with the crowd with some fierce competition between the ladies this year. For perhaps the first time, female entrants outnumbered the males (watch out boys, these Bella Coola women are tough!)
There were several first-time competitors in both the male and female divisions, with Gary Edgar defending his title as Bull of the Woods for the umpteenth time (I have lost count). Lindsay Gericke was
the one to watch this year in the female competition, take first place in the Ladies Choker Race, the Axe Throw (deadly aim) and the Nail Driving. The competition concluded with a nail-biter of a finish: an axe throw to determine the Lady of the Woods between two very tough competitors (and great friends) Lindsay Gericke and Abra Silver.
Gericke took the win and was crowned her first title as Lady of the Woods. Alongside Cody Robson, she also received the Scott Moody Memorial 'Most Sportsmanlike Logger' award.
Thanks once again to the Bella Coola Fall Fair Association for a wonderful day and to the Bella Coola Community Forest for organizing the Logger Sports. It was a great day to be in Bella Coola!

Coast Mountain News Thursday, September 11, 2014 A3
By Caitlin thompson
Tom Swanky is an unassuming figure. A humble, soft-spoken gentleman in his six-ties, he believes he's uncovered some of the most compelling evi-dence on the spread of smallpox in decades. A lawyer and legal histo-rian by trade, Swanky has worked for over 10 years on what he calls a 'detective story.'
A resident of Quesnel, Swanky was born in the hospital that was built on the site where five of the six Tsilhqot'in chiefs were hung in 1864. His conclusion that the spread of smallpox was far more intentional than previously recog-nized sprang from his interest in the defence given by the Tsilhqot'in chiefs at the time of their trial.
“They were sup-plied a defence council and the main reason they gave for their actions of war was the spread of smallpox,” he explained. “They saw it as a deliberate act of aggression and war on their people.”
Following this trail of evidence led Swanky to believe that small-pox was actually used as biological weapon against the natives by the colonial govern-ment of the time who were seeking to attain native land in places they knew harboured great resistance. This story corresponds with many tales told by native elders, who have long believed that the introduction of small-pox was a calculated move to eradicate their people.
In 2012 Swanky published a book enti-tled “The True Story of Canada's 'War' of Extermination on the Pacific,' which details his 10 years of research in 496 pages. Together with his son, Shawn Swanky, he is now working on a docu-mentary film about the smallpox epidemic entitled 'The Great Darkening.'
Bella Coola plays a pivotal role in the spread of the disease because of its position to the Coast and the Interior, which was
of great importance in the early days of colonialism. Swanky visited Bella Coola last week to take some still shots of the Valley for the documentary, and announced that he is also working on a book specific to the smallpox story of Bella Coola.
While there is gen-eral acceptance that the spread of smallpox was an intentional move in some cases, most historians do not believe it was to the scale that Swanky proposes. Many are familiar with the intentional trading of infected blankets, but Swanky alleges that it was much more insidi-ous that that.
Bella Coola's strate-gic position made it a very attractive place for investment and devel-opment during the latter half of the 1800s, and it is precisely this reason that Swanky believes smallpox was introduced into the Bella Coola Valley.
“In the 1860's there was great confi-dence that a railroad was going to be built to Bella Coola, and
that goods would be transported from there down the coast,” Swanky said. “Alongside the colonial government, there were also multiple private investors that wanted to see this happen, and they saw native occupation as their main obstacle to acquiring the land they needed.”
Swanky alleges that the way the disease manifested in Bella Coola was too quick to be a 'natural' epidemic, and that the means of spreading the disease point to a very inten-tional infection.
“There were three main ways smallpox was intentionally spread,” he explains. “The first was through infected blankets. The second was inten-tional, direct contact with an infected per-son, and the third was through false vaccina-tion programs.”
Swanky points to the World Health Organization's fact-sheet on smallpox, which states that the disease usually takes months to spread
through a population. “The WHO says that smallpox epidemics develop compartively slowly, the interval between each gen-eration is two to three weeks,” said Swanky. “Compare that to what happened in Bella Coola. There was nothing slow about it. In three weeks most were already dead. It is impossible that there was anything casual or accidental about this introduction.”
Swanky said that smallpox carriers were sent to every dwell-ing in the villages they encountered in Bella Coola, therefore ensur-ing individuals would all contract the disease at the same time. This accounts for the mass deaths that occured all at once throughout the Valley. Tales were told of bodies 'dying and rotting away by the score and it is no uncommon occurence to come across dead bodies lying in the bush.' Some villages were reduced to one survivor.
Although Swanky's evidence seems com-pelling, his research is not without its critics. Robin Fisher, head of the Department of History at the University of Northern British Columbia and an expert on Native/European relations, states that the book delivers “some truth, but not the whole truth.”
While Fisher agrees with Swanky that gov-ernments and settlers in British Columbia deprived First Nations peoples of their land and undermined their traditional systems of government and introduced smallpox that resulted in a sharp decline in the Aboriginal population, he disagrees that there is an explicit connec-
tion between the two.“I have several
concerns with the way this conclusion is presented. The line of argument is circuitous, rather than straight-forward, and therefore difficult to follow,” said Fisher in a review. “My fundamental concern is with how the con-clusions in this book are reached: in other words the use of evi-dence. Like a coyote on the hunt, the route may be circuitous, but there can be only one outcome. And so the evidence is marshaled and manipulated to prove a predetermined point.”
Journalist Stephen Hume also takes issue with Swanky's argu-ment, but he does state that the book is a wor-thy read. “I disagree with Swanky's asser-
tion that the smallpox epidemic of 1862 was a case of deliberately instigated biological warfare, a genocide designed by the colo-nial administration of James Douglas to clear the landscape of troublesome natives so it could be settled by newcomers,” said Hume. “His book is well worth reading, though.” However, Swanky sees the denial of his findings as a root cause for the troubles facing First Nations and government today, and believes reconciliation and compensation won't be possible until this history is addressed. “It was the depopulation of the British Pacific colonies through these epidemics that allowed the subjugation and dispossession of the
indigenous peoples of B.C. without trea-ties or compensation to acquire native title to resources,” said Swanky. “The elders' teaching of an ethnic cleansing policy in the founding of British Columbia on the one hand, and its denial by Canadian officials on the other hand, is now the root cause of what seems likely to be hundreds of millions in modern lawsuits. It is this denial, along with the associated lack of respect for the indig-enous peoples, and not the truth consistently taught by elders, that creates today's conflict and economic risks.”

An open house for the CCRD 2015 – 2019 Integrated Strategic Planning process was held on August 14th for the Bella Coola Valley. This was the second open house hosted by the CCRD in regards to the Integrated Strategic Planning process with the
first one being held on Denny Island in July.
Both open houses had great turn outs and were well received by the communities.
The structure for the open house had a casual approach which allowed peo-ple to walk around the room freely and discuss with CCRD Board Members and
staff on any issues that they feel are important heading into the next five years.
To help inform the public on what an Integrated Strategic Plan is the CCRD had informa-tion packages to hand out explain-ing the integrated strategic planning process, who is involved and their
roles, mandated services, and a feedback/sugges-tion card, amongst other information. Information and issues stations were setup covering finance, land use, emergency pre-paredness, airport, economic develop-ment, public works and governance.
The public was encouraged to write
down issues that the CCRD should be aware of.
This was met with great success, and many suggestions were shared.
The public openly engaged in dialogue with the staff and board members. Information and feedback received will be taken into consideration as CCRD continue
developing the 2015 - 2019 Integrated Strategic Plan.
The CCRD would like to thank every-one who attended the open houses, and for taking the time to fill out and return the feedback/suggestion cards.
All information gathered at both open houses is con-sidered to be valu-able, and public
participation in the process has been greatly appreciated.
The CCRD will provide updates to the public as they continue on with this process. Watch the CCRD website http://www.ccrd-bc.ca/ and Facebook page at Central Coast Regional District – CCRD for more information soon.

Ace and Annika took top prize in the Costume
competition
A8 Coast Mountain News Thursday, September 11, 2014
By Wendy Kingsley
August was a busy month for the Club. We had our last Gymkhana of the year on Sunday August 10th with a great turn out of both riders and spectators.
On Saturday August 23rd, we held our first ever fund raising Poker Ride. We invited quads, bikes, walkers and of course horse and rider to come and try their luck.
There were 19 people on 10 quads, and 9 horse and riders. Volunteers, directors and mem-bers shared in preparing the trail ahead of time as well as manning the five card stations that included the start and finish and get-ting the food and
BBQ down to the Rodeo grounds.
Fifty percent of the proceeds went to the top three win-ning hands.
Thanks to our poker hand spe-cialist who took all twenty eight hands and determined the winners.
The ride started at 3:15pm and the last rider arrived at the Rodeo grounds at about 5:20pm. After a rest and a thirst quencher we dove into our famous Rodeo burgers.
Everyone had a great time and we are talking about doing another ride onSunday, September 28.
Thank you to all that participated and to the dedicated vol-unteers who helped make this event hap-pen. Happy Trails, one and all.

Kamloops resi-dent Kevin Ortner forces a glum smile as the MV Nimpkish sounds her horn and pulls away from the
Bella Coola wharf on her last voyage as the “connector” in this season’s version of the Bella Coola-Port Hardy summer ferry service.
Ortner, on a trip to visit family in
Victoria - and want-ing to see the Bella Coola Valley and Central Coast for the first time - had been trying to book on the Nimpkish for a month, but was turned down
because the little vessel was full. However, he was told, he could take a chance and show up, hoping to get on with his little truck.
He took the chance and drove
the 10+ hours (735 km) from Kamloops – only to be met with disappointment. Ortner is not alone. Numerous travel-ers – most of them international tourists expecting the “trip of a lifetime” have complained through a Bella Coola Valley Tourism question-
naire about the inability to book reservations on the Discovery Coast Circle Tour.
At the wharf, Ortner turned down an offer of a free breakfast, saying he was “too irritated” to enjoy breakfast. Instead, he got into his little truck,
turned it around, and headed back toward Williams Lake. Ironically, Kamloops is also the home of Transportation Minister Todd Stone who is responsible for the decision to deploy the Nimpkish in her role this sum-mer.

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
