Thousands of people braved the wind and rain last week to honour the survivors of Canada’s residential schools. The events being held by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission “mark a turn-ing point” for all Canadians, said Shawn Atleo, the national chief of the Assembly of First Nations. He urged British Columbians to participate in this week’s events and join with them on last Sunday’s walk.

“This is the start of a mas-sive resurgence of our culture. The residential school era was a time when education was used as a tool to try to assimilate; now education can be a tool to reconnect,” Atleo said Tuesday.

Last week, the commission welcomed about 5,000 stu-dents from across the province to participate in educational activities dealing with residen-tial schools.

Across Canada, only the Northwest Territories and Nunavut have made it man-datory for schools to teach schoolchildren about Indian residential schools. Atleo said he would like to see the prov-inces also make teaching this history mandatory in schools.

The four-kilometre walk through downtown Vancouver came at the end of a week of hearings by the federal Truth and Reconciliation Commission, a fact-finding

commission set up as part of the settlement between the Canadian government, victims and various churches who operated residential schools — the last of which closed its doors in 1996.

Locally, there is an estimated 100 survivors in the Nuxalk Nation, but many have found it too painful to share their stories publicly.

The two main schools that housed Nuxalk children were St. Michael’s, located in Alert Bay, and the Port Alberni Residential School. Nuxalk children were also sent out to Williams Lake, and Coqualeetza in Chilliwack.

Many Nuxalk survivors

attended school in St. Michael’s or Port Alberni, or both.

The gathering in Vancouver is the sixth of seven gatherings across the country, and will culminate in a final event in Edmonton next year, and a final report by the commission.

The walk — the first of its kind in Canada — and several other events were organized by Reconciliation Canada, an independent collaboration between the Indian Residential School Survivors Society and Tides Canada Initiatives Society to engage all Canadians in the reconciliation process.

Anticipated guest Dr. Bernice King, the youngest daughter of American civil-rights hero

Martin Luther King Jr., closed the event with a moving speech Sunday evening. King urged all Canadians to move forward and heal and told the crowd not to give up on the process of progress.

“This requires leadership action on all fronts in Canada, from political and government, corporate, faith, educational and community leadership, because, as I said, we are all in this together,” said King.

“We are tied in an inescap-able network of mutuality, caught in a single garment of destiny and what affects one person here in Canada — no matter their background — directly affects all indirectly.”

EditorialKen Dunsworth

Since my last news article, I have met with the CCRD in response to sev-eral questions that were developed (at the public meeting August 21) and for-warded in a letter to the CCRD requesting a meeting. The CCRD is preparing a writ-ten response to those questions.

From the August 21 meeting “it is well known that people have become disil-lusioned regarding governance, gener-ally speaking, and wish to point to what some may consider basic flaws with the electoral process and representation that need to be looked at and responded to: 1. Alternates for board members should be elected not appointed, 2. Representation in electoral areas, 3. The perceived conflict of interest of Board members especially regarding the voting of tax increases, and, 4. Public involvement of major issues and tax hikes and lack of dissemination of CCRD information and or rational to the public.”

“As a conse-quence, some issues that should be looked into and addressed are: 1. An explanation of the 31% increase in taxes (what increased services are being received for this inordinately high rise in taxes), 2. Confusion about the process of CCRD bids (open tender versus in-house awarding of contracts), 3. Will there be a certified financial audit, and 4. An explanation of financial support for a privately owned water system at Shearwater.

Information regarding Regional Districts can be found on the inter-net by typing in “Local Government Department” and then “Regional District”.

It should be

known that popula-tion figures are to be used only in the determination of voting strength and director representa-tion. The popula-tion includes people residing on Indian Reserves.

Revenue used to finance regional district operations and services is gener-ated through prop-erty taxes, fees and other charges. Unlike municipalities, regional districts are required to match the costs of services to the people that ben-efit from the services. In other words, resi-dents pay for what they get.

The province can change the boundary of the regional dis-trict and its electoral areas by amending the Letters Patent – a legal document creat-ing the regional dis-trict and its bound-ary – and the local government depart-ment facilitates these changes through a restructure process. I must confess that I am happy that we have a local govern-ment, otherwise I tend to think that we would be a lone voice in the wilderness and we may not receive all of the services we pay for or want or need. In saying that, it is also our respon-sibility to participate in the electoral pro-cess or suffer any consequences.

Regional districts can provide a broad range of services with the exception of roads and policing. The choice of ser-vices is determined by the regional board but only with the support of the electors. Therefore, the breadth of ser-vices varies with each regional district according to its cir-cumstances and local opinion.

Regional districts are the planning jurisdiction for elec-toral areas and can adopt zoning bylaws, develop official com-munity plans and develop a regional growth strategy. In places where regional

districts provide ser-vices such as water and sewer, they own the infrastructure and are responsible for maintaining it.

The local govern-ment department approves of certain regional district bylaws. The Inspector of Municipalities is responsible for approving service area establishment bylaws and bor-rowing bylaws as well as for process-ing regional district financial requisi-tions. The Minister of Community and Rural Development approves certain land-use bylaws. In addition, the depart-ment plays a role facilitating service reviews and regional growth strategies.

The CCRD did present me with a rational regarding the Tax Levy Increase. The board consid-ered a Five-Year Financial Plan over three consecutive board meeting start-ing December 13, 2012. On page 2 of the Tax Requisition Summary by Function report asks the board of directors to consider an overall tax levy of $268,000 or 58.6% increase from last year.

The report also indicated that the board will need to have some assur-ance that service levels would or will increase to the same extent as the tax req-uisition levels. As an alternative option, the report asks the board directors to consider an overall tax levy of $144,000 or 31.3% increase from last year, while stating that the board of Directors will continue to be

concerned about an increase of this mag-nitude.

The rational for the use of the Tax Levy increase revolves around 5 main components, in short:

1. Land use planning spe-cifically - updated Office Community Plan, Zoning and Subdivision bylaws, and administra-tive staff actively involved in providing public services. 2. Library – where the increase is a directive from the Vancouver Island Regional Library board. 3. General Operations – expenses associated outstanding policy matters (bylaws),

establishment of the Denny Island water service, enhance-ment of organiza-tional governance capabilities, one-time coast of hiring a new CAO and a contin-gency of $10,000. 4. Swimming Pool – especially mainte-nance of the aging facility and increased operational costs. 5. Thorsen Creek Waste and Recycling Center - ensures the land fill’s life cycle is opti-mized and where the revenue generated will not go far enough

to address the seri-ous issues associated with this function.

I hope this article will assist while understanding the pressures that most people are under financially on fixed incomes and the pressure the CCRD is under to try to maintain services. We need to participate in the electoral process as we are the masters of our own destiny and I personally like that perspective. This includes public participation in the

development of offi-cial community plans and the development of a regional growth strategy.

In saying all of this, the Vancouver Health Authority are having a public meeting on October 1 and I encourage all of us in the valley to attend that meeting and get involved with our health care. I will respond with a fur-ther article once the CCRD has responded to the questions raised at the August Public meeting.

A complaint lev-ied by the Raincoast Foundation as resulted in an investigation of Clayton Stoner’s controversial griz-zly hunt by the B.C. Conservation Officer Service.

Leaked photos showing Stoner holding the head and paws of the griz-zly that is featured in the Coastal First Nation’s documen-tary film, ‘Bear Witness,’ resulted in a frenzied debate across the province about the moral and ethical issues sur-rounding the trophy hunt.

In addition, local First Nations claim that the government has no jurisdiction over the hunt on the Central Coast, citing longstanding issues around land claims and rights and title.

The Raincoast

Foundation is alleg-ing that it is highly unlikely Stoner had spent the required six months residing in B.C. before the hunt, as the player lives most of the year out of province.

The basic defi-nition of resident requires a person to have their pri-mary residence in B.C. and have “been physically present in British Columbia for the greater por-tion of each of six calendar months out of the 12 calendar months immediately preceding the date of ” a licence appli-cation.

Brian Falconer of Raincoast said Stoner was liv-ing and working in Minnesota and given the length of the NHL season “it would appear implausible that he could have been physically present in B.C. for the time required to qualify as a resident.”

Falconer said a person has to pro-vide evidence of their being a resi-dent of B.C. before they can be issued a Resident Hunter Number card.

“If he is not a resi-dent he shouldn’t have been issued with Resident Hunter Number card nor should he have been allowed to enter the Limited Entry Hunt lottery to kill a griz-zly,” said Falconer.

Brennan Clarke, a spokesman for the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, which administers hunter licensing, said that a complaint had been received from the Raincoast Conservation Foundation that the bear may have been killed illegally. “It’s something we have to look at,” said Clarke.

As the fall hunting season approaches, the Coastal First

Nations issued a press release stating they plan to keep enforcing the ban on bear hunting on the Central Coast.

The release

includes the duties of the Coastal Guardian Watchmen, who are tasked with patrolling the area. According to the release, “In

the course of their duties, Guardian Watchmen may approach suspected hunting vessels to provide education about the ban, and

to encourage bear hunters to pursue other activities. If hunters persist, CGW personnel may warn bears out of target estuaries.”

A dream was real-ized for local singer/songwriter Crystal J as she attended and performed at the Aboriginal People’s Choice Awards last month in Winnipeg.

“It was an hon-our to represent the Nuxalk Nation and the community of Bella Coola at this years event,” said Crystal. “I couldn’t do it with the Nation’s support and the support of my family.”

The Aboriginal People’s Choice Awards took place August 17 and 18 and included recent Bella Coola Music Festival perform-ers Derek Miller and George Leach, whom Crystal had the chance to meet.

Crystal was the first performer to open the show, and admitted that anxi-ety ruled the day.

“I had to connect with my family back home for prayer and calm my spirit,” she said. “I was the first performer to open the show, and

when I was walking towards the main stage, all I could see was the lights and imagined my entire family walking behind me.”

Crystal performed a song from her album, ‘Love,’ enti-tled ‘Mr. Right.’ She was thrilled to be included amongst the high caliber of First Nations talent this country has to offer.

“I had a floor seat for the awards ceremony and was surrounded by other nominees and award winners,” she said.

“It felt good to be in the midst of such great native celebri-ties and see that all native people are moving forward.”

Crystal is con-tinuing to pursue her dreams in the entertainment busi-ness and work with youth. “I was able to walk the red carpet as well as network with some well-respected industry people,” she said.

“With my experi-

ence, I have every intention of working with and supporting our youth with their music and dreams.”

On September 6, 2013 just after 8L00 am Bella Coola Detachment was advised that Jerry Lacerte had been mauled by a grizzly bear on Highway 20 between the Skimlik Creek Crossing and Thorsen Creek bridge. Lacerte was assisted almost immediately after the incident by a resident on their way to work and was brought directly to Bella Coola Hospital.

Lacerte advised that he had inadver-tently found himself too close to a mother grizzly with two cubs and the sow charged him. He struggled with her and she released him, he played dead and she

departed promptly with the approach of a vehicle. Lacerte suffered cuts and puncture wounds, was treated locally and did not require to be transported for his care.

The BC Conservation Officers Service (COs) was imme-diately engaged and sent two inves-tigators to Bella Coola. Nuxalk Band elected Chief Wally Webber was noti-fied and engaged the River and Coastal Guardians to notify 4 Mile residents door to door. School District #49 was advised and ensured students would not be walking from their bus drop site

through the area, Acwsalcta School was not in session that day.

Additionally the message was sent via FaceBook to the area to reach the broadest local audi-ence to ensure the area was kept clear. Additional assistance for patrols and bar-riers was provided through the Ministry of Environment/Parks personnel in the valley.

The COs inves-tigated the site, interviewed Lacerte, located a sow with cubs in the area that evening and set trail cameras to monitor their movement and behavior. The COs interviewed area residents regarding

bear activity in the area and consulted with the Nuxalk Band administration and RCMP regarding their investigation. After sighting a sow with two cubs the first night no further contact was made and the trail cameras did not record them moving in the area.

Monitoring the area through Sunday did not locate a sow with cubs in the area. The COs inves-tigation supported that the attack by the sow was in defense of her cubs and not a territorial/bound-ary position and that she had left the area. In consultation with the Band and RCMP the COs will not be tracking the sow and cubs for interven-tion.

Jerry Lacerte is recovering from his injuries and has expressed his thanks for the community support. The inter-agency cooperation between the local agencies, Band and community was prompt and effec-

tive to deal with the immediate issues of public safety, thanks to all that assisted.

This is a BC Conservation Service investigation. Any requests for informa-tion on this incident can be made directly to Sgt. Len Butler at 250-398-4537. Concerns regard-ing wildlife can be reported through the toll free RAPP (Report All Poachers and Polluters) line at 1-877-952-7277.

Our local BearAware / WildSafe coordina-tor is Ellie Archer. She is available to provide guidance and support toward safe attractant man-agement or grounds maintenance that

may assist to pre-vent conflicts with wildlife. She can be reached at 250-957-8445 and informa-tion is available online at www.wild-safebc.com

In the previ-ous Police Report it is stated that the maximum speed in a school zone is 30 km/hr. Although this is true for organized areas (municipali-ties, towns, cities and villages where it is posted maximum 50 km/hr unless oth-erwise posted), out-side of these areas the speed regulation will be as posted.

Here in Bella Coola the Seventh Day Adventist school is situated along a numbered Provincial Highway which is posted 80 km/hr and the school zone is in effect on days school is in session between 8 am and 5 pm and posted at 50km/hr. 

The previous report highlights the significantly higher survival rates of pedestrian/vehicle collisions where the vehicle speed is less than 50 km/hr. Please exercise your best judgement and adjust your speed for the safety of pedes-trians along the highway.

 Thank you to those that took the time to read the report in detail and ask meaningful questions.

January 24, 1924 - September 12, 2013John Albert Purkiss “Albert”

John Albert Purkiss “Albert”, 89, of Duncan, BC passed away on September 12, 2013 with family at his side.

Albert was born in New Westminster, BC on January 24, 1924. He joined the Navy in 1942 and served on a British Destroyer in the North Atlantic. Upon return-ing from active duty he met and married Margaret Jean Biggs “Jean”, his loving wife of 57 years.

Albert and Jean moved to the Cowichan Valley in 1960 earning a living commercial fishing and raising their family.

In 1974, moving to Bella Coola, as an avid conserva-tionist, Albert enjoyed hunting, fishing, gardening and many valued friends.

Albert is predeceased by his wife, Jean, and sons David and Lee.

Albert is survived by his loving daughter Laura, son Stephen, many grandchildren and great grandchildren and his best friend Shelby.

Albert always said that he was born under a lucky star because he was able to pursue his passion to go fishing.

Sincere appreciation and thanks to all, including the staff at the Cobblestone Inn, for their assistance and support.

Living in harmony with bears in the upcoming fall season

Celebrate Essential Skills Day Friday September 27

ElliE ArChErWildSafe BC

Coordinator – Bella Coola Valley

We are living in bear country and this is the time of year when bears are considered to be “hypertrophic,” meaning they are forced to focus on fattening up for hibernation. 

All bears need a high percentage of body fat to ensure

their health during hibernation, but pregnant sows espe-cially must have this fat on their bodies in order to produce cubs, otherwise their bodies will absorb the fertilized egg.

For the past month and a half, bears have been pri-marily eating Chum and Pink salmon from our creeks.  In the weeks to come they will continue to eat fish, berries and

other vegetation, but they could be lured into residential areas searching for other food sources such as fruit trees, vegetable gardens, garbage cans, recycling, bar-beques and gas cans to name a few.

We have electric fencing available to lend to community members to secure their attractants during the next two months.

We have sourced

out these fences and can pass on this information to people looking to purchase their own fence. And, people are willing to help pick your fruit if it’s more than you can manage alone.

If possible, keep your garbage and recycling indoors until you are able to take it to the dump or recycling depot. A bear’s nose is seven times more sensi-

tive than a dog’s and can smell downwind attractants from 20 kilometers away!

Understanding these animals goes a long way to decreas-ing the human-bear conflict within our community. Let’s protect our property, the bears, and other wildlife over the active fall season. Please don't hesi-tate to contact me at (250) 957 8445. Have an enjoyable fall!

Essential Skills Day takes place this year on Friday, September 27. Essential Skills Day raises aware-ness and celebrates the importance of the nine essentials skills.

These are needed for work, learning

and life and are the foundation of learn-ing all other skills.

There are nine Essential Skills for the whole family!

These are: Reading,

Numeracy, Writing, Thinking Working with Others, Oral Communication,

Computer Use, Continuous Learning and Document Use.

Improving each essential skill has tremendous impact on understanding the world around us at home, at work or at play.

We can make

sense of the rapid changes in our community and society as a whole.

We are enabled to improve our health and well-being, our parent-ing skills and our productivity.

Knowledge is the key to the future,

and the more we learn, the more we can unlock our potential.

You are wel-come to visit the New Leaf Learning Centre to pick up your own take home work pages to start your life-long learn-ing today!

While salmon returns have been plentiful this year, WildSafe BC is reminding homeowners that their yards could still be targeted by foraging bears

A locavore is a person interested in eating food that is locally produced, not moved long dis-tances to market.

Of course, many rural Canadians grew up as locavores whether they wanted to or not. They couldn't get oranges in December even if they wanted them.

Nowadays some people want to eat local foods on pur-pose, and here's why: Most likely your food would be not genetically mod-ified if you were to purchase it locally.

Your food is food, not a concoction that is bred to have a long shelf life, a per-fect color or survive great distances in shipping. If you are wondering whether or not your food is real, all you have to

do is just ask your local farmer or fish-erman, etc.

Your food will also be fresh if it is local. Or, someone could pick it a week or two early, wrap it in plastic, store it in a warehouse and put it in a truck and drive it around for 1500 miles and then give it to you, but then you might have to pay a bit extra for all the handling.

Buying locally preserves heirloom

varieties and plants localized to cli-mate and soil of the Bella Coola valley, kept alive by fam-ily secrets and skills handed down over the generations.

You may rest assured that buying local meat will not support the practice of growing animals in large feedlots and processing in distant mega slaughter-houses. You can feel comfort in the fact that your local food

is likely to be safe and that you don't have to worry about large scale bacterial contamination in the packaging plant or irrigation systems.

Next time you drive past a farmer's fields in the sum-mertime, watch-ing the haying or gardening, think of the rugged pioneers that cleared that land, probably with animal and sheer manpower, and how quickly that field

would fill with alders if not taken care of. People like open space.

If you buy local food you are sup-porting someone local and their fam-ily. By selling direct-ly from the farm, farmers can cut out the middleman and make a bit more money for them-selves and perhaps hold onto the family farm instead of hav-ing to sell it off.

Believe it or not,

having farms is actu-ally good for the tax base of the valley. Studies show that farms generally con-tribute much more in taxes than they require in services. Of course the best reason to buy local food is the beauty and the taste of food harvested at its peak of perfection.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has appointed key minis-ters and staff to meet with First Nations leaders this week in the hopes of reviving discussions around the controversial Enbridge pipeline.

Harper’s intention is to make progress on proposals to con-nect Alberta's oil-sands with ports in British Columbia and the lucrative Asian markets beyond.

The new initia-tive is in large part a response to a report from the prime minister’s special pipelines representa-tive in B.C., Douglas Eyford. Eyford, a Vancouver-based lawyer, told Harper last month that nego-tiations with First Nations, especially on Enbridge's proposed Northern Gateway, are a mess.

It seems clear that the federal gov-ernment is hopeful that Eyford will help smooth things over and open commu-nication with B.C. aboriginal groups.

Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver is one of the Harper ministers who will be spending more time in B.C. over the next few weeks.

“The goal is clear. Douglas Eyford will

help identify oppor-tunities to facilitate greater participa-tion by Aboriginal peoples in resource development while at the same time iden-tifying ways in which Aboriginal peoples can play a greater role in strengthening environmental pro-tection,” said Oliver. “Our Government believes that, by working together with Aboriginal peoples, provinces and industry, all Canadians can share in the jobs and pros-perity that await us if we act now for the good of Canada.”

Eyford’s report to the prime minister, and his final report in November, will not be made public.

Federal officials say they aren't there to make specific offers, but to engage groups directly affect-ed by the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline to Kitimat, B.C.

Ottawa is also increasing its efforts to appease the B.C. premier. Christy Clark set out five conditions to approve the controversial Northern Gateway project, including improved methods to prevent and clean up spills and a bigger share of revenues for

the province.Ottawa already

responded to some of these demands, for example, announc-ing new regulations last spring to improve the safety of oil tank-ers, oil-handling terminals, raising the corporate liability for offshore spills to $1 billion and impos-ing a new set of fines of up to $100,000 for safety breaches that, if unaddressed, could lead to more serious problems.

But dealing with the concerns of First Nations bands remains the biggest challenge. Coastal First Nations Art Sterritt reinforces this viewpoint. “This is our opportunity to let a group of dep-uty ministers know directly that Northern Gateway is a dead project.”

Federal officials acknowledge that Enbridge did a poor job in dealing with bands along the pro-posed Gateway route.

Media reports sug-gest the company now faces a nearly impossible task to earn local support.

Sterritt says no amount of govern-ment meetings will change their position on the pipeline. “It's in the wrong place. It's trying to do the

wrong thing. And it's not going to happen. And they're going to learn that. They're going to learn that in spades by coming out and talking to First Nations in British Columbia.”

Coastal First Nations has launched a campaign against the proposed proj-ect today, featur-ing graphic oil spill imagery, and singling out Prime Minister Stephen Harper as the key federal gov-ernment decision-maker on whether or not oil tankers will ‘ply BC’s pristine coastal waters.’

Polls suggest between sixty and eighty percent of B.C. residents oppose the project, and Sterritt is counting on their support. “British Columbians have been very clear in their opposition to the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline and oil tank-ers in our coastal waters,” said Sterritt. “All eyes are now on Mr. Harper. We hope that he will respect the wishes of British Columbians and say no to the proposed project.”

In the meantime, Enbridge has come under fire for con-ducting fieldwork along the proposed

pipeline route before the project has been given approval. When questioned about its activities, company spokesperson Ivan Giesbrecht explained that this is a normal process for any large

project. “We’re optimistic

the project will be approved, we believe it’s the right thing for Canada,” said Giesbrecht. “And we’re on a timeline we’d like to keep, and

while the weather is still good we want to collect as much data as possible.”

The federal gov-ernment is expected announce a decision on the project by December 2013.

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-
