Hagensborg Water District mails out flyer urging residents to join ‘Cashback’ schemeBY CAITLIN THOMPSON
Bella Coola residents received a flyer from the Hagensborg Water District last week on district letterhead encouraging them to join “cor-porate giant” DubLi Inc. and engage in online shopping.
DubLi’s website describes it as a “shopping and entertain-ment portal.” According to the site, Dubli receives commissions for purchases members make from merchants in DubLi’s shopping malls. The company claims it then pasess this com-mission back to its members in the form of “Cashback.”
The flyer claims that the HWD’s partnership with DubLi under the “Angel Program” will provide the district with a “unique source of long-term funding” that will reduce the need to increase taxes and takes advantage of the emerg-ing “E-commerce industry.” The
flyer details how to join and encourages residents to sign up family and friends.
HWD Trustee Donald Mikkelson told CMNews that Rosemary Smart had visited the Valley in late September to deliver a presentation on the Angel Program through DubLi Inc.
Smart, who previously held the chief administrator officer position, was recently re-hired in October.
Mikkelson said the board decided to endorse the program before Smart was re-hired.
“I am always looking at differ-ent sources of funding and this program costs the HWD noth-ing,” said Smart. “I presented it to the board and they liked it. The feedback I’ve had about the program has been amazing.”
Under the Angel Program, the HWD offers an “online shop-ping portal.” Once a customer signs up, a percentage of the
purchase value is given to the HWD in the form of a commis-sion. In addition, the person who signed up the HWD also receives a percentage of the customer’s purchases as com-mission.
Smart said that she is not a member of DubLi, but con-firmed in a phone interview that her husband, Jim Smart, is the person who signed up the HWD under DubLi’s Angel Program and therefore will receive a commission each time an individual makes a pur-chase through the Hagensborg Shopping & Travel Portal.
That percentage is dependent on the purchase the person makes, their membership level and the store, as online stores offer differing rates of cash back.
When questioned on the possible perception of conflict of interest arising from HWD participation in a program that would directly financially
benefit the CAO’s husband, Mikkelson stated he did not think it was a conflict because taxpayer dollars are not involved.
“We need to find funding that does not raise taxes,” said Mikkelson.
“If it’s not costing the people we are trying to serve, then I don’t see it as a problem.”
Smart also did not see a problem with her husband receiving commissions, compar-ing it to the same commission he would receive when selling real estate.
“Yes, Jim gets a commission. Why shouldn’t he? He set it up for them and did all the work,” she said. “This program costs the HWD nothing. The shop-ping portal is not funded with tax dollars. How can you lose?”
June Vosburgh, HWD user and former president of the Bella Coola Fall Fair Association, disagrees.
“Having been president of a few organizations you become familiar with these things,” said Vosburgh. “Yes, I do think this is conflict of interest.”
Bella Coola resident Kevin Booth also believes there is a conflict of interest, saying, “Any time a party acting on behalf of a government engages in activ-ity which directly benefits them-selves, family, friends or other associates, they have engaged in a conflict of interest. This seems to be exactly what happened here.”
Although there is no specific legislation dealing with conflict of interest for improvement district trustees and employ-ees, the provincial Community Charter provides rules for local government elected officials that should be considered as a guideline for trustees.
The Improvement District Manual states: “It is important

Hanukah Carol
By Ariana DiGuistini (Grade 7)
Yeah I flip my lights in the air sometimesSaying hey-o, spin the dreidelJust wanna celebrate for all eight nightsSinging hey-o, light the candle
We say Al hanissim oh yeah, for all eight nightsThen we play the dreidel by the candlelightAnd I told you once, now I told you twiceAbout the miracle of the candlelight
And the great menorahWhat a celebrationA great return to Torah learning
I flip my lights in the air sometimesSaying hey-o, spin the dreidel Just wanna celebrate for all eight nightsSinging hey-o, light the candle
Cause Hanukkah is here to celebrate all the eight nightsOf candlelight!
Santa
By Haydn Nygaard (Grade 5)
There was a man that every-body loved. His name was Santa. He was an immor-tal and he would come to your house and give you presents on the night of December 24th. That was Christmas Eve and the next day was called Christmas.
There were two boys name Ronald and Haydn. These two were troublemakers. They were always up to something. And this year they were going to compromise Santa.
December 21st, are you ready for mis-sion ‘Compromise Santa,’ Haydn asked Ronald. Yah, I’m just scared, Ronald
explained. Scared of what, Haydn asked Ronald. What if Santa catches us?
“I’ve heard he’s got a bag of coal for the naughty kids like us”, Ronald said. Then if we get caught it’s my fault, Haydn said.
It’s the night before Christmas, Ronald how you feeling, Haydn asked Ronald. Are you ready to compromise Santa, Haydn asked. Yah I’m fine this will be fun, Ronald said sarcastically.
Two hours later Haydn asked Ronald, are you ready? More ready than I’ll ever be, Ronald said. O.K. he should be in your house Haydn, Ronald said to Haydn on the phone. Haydn and Ronald ran down stairs. They both saw their parents with their presents and they were labeled, from Santa. Haydn and Ronald ran back upstairs and hoped their parents didn’t see them.
In the morning Haydn and Ronald ran down stairs and saw presents in their stock-ings and under the tree still labeled from Santa. They had French toast and eggs for breakfast and then opened all their pres-ents. They asked their parents why they had the bag of Santa’s presents. Their parents said that Santa was running late so Santa gave Haydn and Ronald’s parents their presents. After that Haydn and Ronal had a snowball fight with their friends and had the best Christmas ever.
My Christmas Duck Hunting
Trip!
By Kai Gunderson (Grade 6)
It was the day before Christmas and there was lots of noise down in the estuary. At this time I was bugging my dad to go duck hunting. After about an hour of “can we go hunt-ing?” He said fine.
We got all of our camo on and loaded up the raft in the truck. We drove the truck down to the estuary and unloaded the raft. It was loaded with all our gear and we were
ready to set off. A lot of ducks and geese were there but we needed to get to our blind to hid in. When we got near to the blind we set out the decoy ducks and geese.
The tide was low but on its way up, so there soon would be less land to hunt on. That meant we would have to move the decoys so that they were still in range when ducks landed. We were now all set up to hunt!
We were ready to start calling. This was the boring part in my opinion. Just sitting there, using this piece of plastic that sound-ed like a duck, to fake ducks into landing with our decoys. Then a river otter, on the other side of the mouth of the river slipped into the water tried to eat our decoy. But when it got to the decoy it realized that it was fake.
That showed me how brutal it is to sur-vive in the estuary. I feel bad for anything that has to try living there. Then a duck came our way and my dad shot at it and missed. Then I should at it and shot it. But that river otter got him well I was going to get it. I guess everyone has to eat.
When I got back my dad said, “Where’s the duck?” I said, “The river otter is eating it.” For the next hour there were nothing but gunshots all around. I was very mad at this point because we had not gotten anything in what felt like hours. But while we were sitting there on a hard wooden seat in the cold wet winter air, I realized that the true meaning of Christmas was that me and my dad were together for the holiday and
considering I was supposed to be in school. The end!
Hedgie The Hedgehog’s Christmas
By Kalvin Knudsen (Grade 5)
“Dear Santa,” wrote Hedgie. “Can you please get me under-ground tube tun-nels?” So she got a piece of rope, rolled up the map of the tube tun-nels, and tied it to her letter. She put it in a box and tied the box shut. She began pulling it to the hedgehog post office. After three days of pulling her mail through the snow, she made it!!!
On Christmas Eve, Hedgie stood at the window making a wish on the Christmas star. Oh Christmas star, please get me my tube tunnels for Christmas.
She went to bed at eleven o’clock that night. The next morning she found her tube tunnels. It was a tube tunnel city. No, it was paradise! No, it was a kingdom!!!

Board appealing to those "already buying online"
to note that even the appearance of a conflict of interest may cause as many problems as an actual conflict.”
Mikkelson also said the board was not advocating that people don’t shop locally, but rather was trying to appeal to those already buying online.
“This is not taking away from shopping locally,” Smart said. “People have been shopping out of the Valley forever – almost
everybody shops out of the Valley and online.”
However, the promo-tion has riled many local business owners, particu-larly as the importance of keeping money in the local economy has been recently highlighted.
“The Coast Mountain News last week did an excellent 'buy local' feature,” said business owner John Morton. “For the HWD to follow this up just a day later with a 'buy online’ promotion
is amazingly ironic – not to mention a slap in the face to local businesses, of which many owners are ratepayers to the HWD.”
The remaining trust-ees of the HWD did not respond to CMNews requests for comment. At present, there are four trustees: Chair Ken Dunsworth, Chris Matthews, Donald Mikkelson, and Charles Bryfogle. The fifth, Steven Hodgson had resigned as of Dec. 10.

BY RAY MCILWAIN
On November 29th and 30th the Bella Coola Valley Arts Council was once again pleased to sponsor the annu-al Arts and Crafts fair. This event is
timed to occur before Christmas to allow local crafts people to showcase and sell their products, and for Valley residents to pick up some beauti-fully crafted items as potential gifts. Several vendors had homemade jewelry
in different styles. Others displayed
photos and paint-ings, hand crafted bird feeders, fancy home made soaps, a variety of foods, coffee, homemade clothing, quilts, blan-kets, decorations, and pottery. Prizes were given to Ernest Hall and Abra Silver for the effort they made to present their products attractively.
We also appreciat-ed the hospital auxil-iary women who not only put on a very
attractive display, but sold more than any other booth, rais-ing money for the hospital. The SAMS students looked after the concession very well, raising money for school trips and feeding lots of hun-gry visitors to the Fair.
On Saturday there was a lasagna supper organized and pre-pared by a number of women including Monica Tutt, Mary Tutt, and Pauline Russell who took
a lead roles. Many other volunteers helped with bring-ing food and helping with preparation, serving, and cleaning up. Over 84 servings were sold.
After supper was cleared away, Caroline Johnson, who is a new music teacher at SAMS had two of the band students play sev-eral carols followed by a small group of community mem-bers who sang a few
carols. Sunday afternoon
featured a visit by Santa. I noticed a few of the children brought Santa let-ters or pieces of art work which I am sure he appreciated. We are sorry that some children who arrived late missed him, as he had lots of other places to visit.
There were a few vendors who were not able to be there because of weather issues, but other-
wise it was a full hall. Attendance was also down a little from last year, again likely due to the cold weather and slippery roads.
Many thanks to Sheila Wilson who organized the Fair. The Arts and Crafts Fair helps raise money for the Bella Coola Valley Arts Council, and of course is a popular event that people look forward to every year.
The Little Girl’s Christmas
By Lily Carlson-Hembruff (Grade 3)
This is not a true storyOnce upon a time there was a little
girl she was only six years old. Then her parents said, Are you excited for Christmas? The little girl said what’s Christmas? Christmas is a time for giv-ing and spending time with your loved ones said her mom.
And on Christmas Eve Santa goes down every chimney in the world said her dad. How said the little girl? He’s magical, he’s magical said her mom. By the way, what does Santa do when he goes down all the chimneys in the world? asked the little girl. He puts the presents under the Christmas tree said her mom. When is Christmas?
The little girl asks. In two days said her mom.
When those two days went by the little girl ran down stairs and she saw that Santa did come and from that day on she knew what Christmas was.
The Christmas Dream
By Ruby Ratcliff (Grade 5)
It’s a day until Christmas and we just put up our tree. Our tree has decorations of all colours and shapes. Some sparkle, some shine but all are beautiful.
Now it is time for bed. I didn’t feel
tired but I didn’t want to argue with mom because I want Santa to come and fill my stocking.
I got all comfortable with my teddy bear and fell fast asleep.
I began to dream. I saw colours and shapes. Then they started to come together. I dreamt about gingerbread houses, Santa and his reindeer.
I was walking down a gumdrop path and could see a house in the distance. I wondered if anyone was there, so I knocked on the door. I heard barking but no one answered, so I waited.
The gingerbread puppy came out from the back yard. Then the puppy began to run and every six steps he would look back at me. I guess he wanted me to fol-low him, so I did.
We ran through the thick icing because we are in Candy Land. We hit snow after a while and we could also hear Christmas carols. I saw a sign that said ‘Santa’s Castle this way’.
After a Christmas minute we got to a candy cane forest. Once we escaped its minty freshness, we got to Santa’s castle. The gingerbread puppy started to bark
and I heard a man’s voice say, “here boy” and the puppy got all excited.
We went inside the castle and saw Santa, Mrs. Clause and a gingerbread man beside a sled full of presents. Mrs. Clause said, “You’re a beautiful ginger-bread girl.” I said, “but I’m not a ginger-bread girl, I’m human.” I looked down and was made out of gingerbread.
Then I woke up with my heart pound-ing. I hugged my teddy bear and remem-bered, today is Christmas!

Back in the Spring, Randy Hart, of the Nuxalk Development Limited Partnership, recognized that the Nuxalk designed plaque at the Bella Coola Harbour needed some TLC.
(The bottom half was severely weathered.)
So together, the Nuxalk Forestry Limited Partnership and Williams Lake & District Credit Union commissioned Nuxalk carver James Mack Sr. to re-chip the plaque and to add another finish. So, James Mack Sr. and Dan Watts worked nights and a weekend, to bring this beautiful art piece back to its original finish.

The Central Coast Regional District’s newly elected Board of Directors has rolled up its sleeves
and got down to work with its inau-gural meeting last week. Following a swearing-in of the new board elected for a four-year
term November 15, Directors consid-ered appointments to head various CCRD committees and projects as well as a preliminary
budget for 2015.Budget highlights
include a tax levy increase of 6.3 per-cent.
Increased expen-ditures anticipated
include the cost of hiring a two-year economic develop-ment officer and in general operations mostly attributed to increases in the
Consumer Price Index.
Reductions are expected in Parks and Recreation because restoration work following the 2010 flood has been completed.
CCRD Reg Moody, re-elected for the third time as Chair, described the new Board as “bois-terous” and says he is looking forward to the work ahead.
He expressed his gratitude to the service of out-going Directors Ivan Tallio, David Anderson, and in
particular Brian Lande, who pre-ceded him as Chair and had served on the board for many years.
The new Board elected Moody as Chair and Sayers as Vice-Chair. Alternates to the Directors are yet to be confirmed.
New to the Board are Hall, Schooner, and Sayers.
Residents of the CCRD are encour-aged to visit the CCRD website for detailed informa-tion at www.ccrd.bc.ca

The First Nations Health Authority (FNHA) is proud to announce the selection of Dr. Evan Adams as Chief Medical Officer. Following a Canada-wide recruitment effort, Dr. Adams—who was born and raised in British Columbia and a member of the Tla'amin (Sliammon) First Nation—will assume the CMO position on December 1, 2014.
In his role as CMO, Dr. Adams will provide invaluable leadership represent-ing the FNHA while working alongside government partners on health matters in population and pub-lic health that affect First Nations and all British Columbians.
“It has been a lifelong dream to work directly with First Nations and Aboriginal peoples on our wellness and prosperity at this level. I'm grateful to the Office of the Provincial Health Officer for the past seven and a half years. I feel like I'm coming home,” states Dr. Adams.
Adams was previ-ously appointed as Deputy Provincial Health Officer and worked alongside Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall and Deputy
PHO Dr. Eric Young. In this role, he provided indepen-dent direction on First Nations and Aboriginal health issues to the Ministry of Health, reporting to citizens on health issues affecting the general population, and setting out a path for the improve-ment of First Nations and Aboriginal health and wellness.
“I would like to offer my congratula-tions to Dr. Adams on his new appoint-ment,” said Health Minister Terry Lake. “Dr. Adams has been a tremendous asset to the province as Deputy Provincial Health Officer, and, while he will be missed, I know he will help to further advance the health of First Nations and Aboriginal people here in BC in his new role.”
“The FNHA has made a great choice in Dr. Adams—he is an exceptional public health practitioner. His years with my office were marked by his dedication to improving the health of Aboriginal people in BC,” said Dr. Perry Kendall, Provincial Health Officer. “I learned a tremendous amount from Evan and I wish him every success in this next stage of his path, and I look for-
ward to continuing work with Evan in his new role.”
Adams will lead a team of FNHA physi-cians—health and wellness partners to BC First Nations—who will continue
to focus on First Nations health and wellness to create and shape a unique health care model that is the first of its kind in Canada.
Dr. Evan Adams named as Chief Medical Officer of FNHA
Dr. Evan Adams is a familiar face to many through his popular film roles

He will be a major contributor to the continued trans-formation of health care and improving access and quality of health care services while responding to the wellness direc-tives provided by First Nations com-munities.
“Dr. Evan Adams brings to this role
invaluable on-the-ground and lead-ership experience combined with pas-sion and heart for this important work for our First Nations communities in BC,” said FNHA Chief Executive Officer, Joe Gallagher. “With great enthusiasm and pride, we welcome him aboard as our Chief Medical Officer
and congratulate him on taking on yet another career-defin-ing role. Evan taking on this integral role makes our executive team whole.”
Dr. Adams is also an actor with an impressive resume. He starred in the Emmy-winning TV-movie "Lost in the Barrens" and its nominated
sequel ‘Curse of the Viking Grave,’ and as Thomas Builds-The-Fire in ShadowCatcher Entertainment’s ‘Smoke Signals,’ written by Sherman Alexie and directed by Chris Eyre, for which he won Best Actor awards from the American Indian Film Festival, and from First Americans in the Arts, and a 1999 Independent Spirit Award.
Adams is the past host of Aboriginal Peoples Television Network’s #1-rated show ‘Buffalo Tracks,’ starred in FallsApart Production's American feature ‘The Business of Fancydancing,’ and had a recurring role on the CBC TV-series Da Vinci’s City Hall.
Aside from his career in the arts, Adams has com-pleted three years of pre-med studies at the University of British Columbia (UBC), a Medical Doctorate from the University of Calgary in 2002, and
a Family Practice residency (as Chief Resident) in the Aboriginal Family Practice program at St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver, BC.
He is the 2005 winner of the (pro-vincial) Family Medicine Resident Leadership Award from the College of Family Physicians
of Canada (CFPC), and the 2005 national winner of the Murray Stalker Award from the CFPC Research and Education Foundation.
He is the past-President of the Indigenous Physicians Association of Canada, and is cur-
rently the Director of the Division of Aboriginal Peoples’ Health, UBC Department of Family Practice. He obtained his MPH in 2009 with the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health while working with the Office of the Provincial Health Officer.

Virginia Alice (Ginny) Stewart McLean
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear mother, Virginia Alice (Ginny) Stewart McLean, who passed away on November 27, 2014 at the age of 87.
Ginny was born on March 30, 1927 in Wainwright, Alberta, the second eldest of four daughters, to Charles and Ethel Harvey. The family eventually settled in Summerland, B.C., where Ginny met Robert (Bob) Stewart in the sixth grade. They were married shortly after Bob returned from WWII. Son Rob was born the following year, followed by Bonnie, Wendy, Duncan, Eleanor and Donna.Ginny and Bob started Stewart’s Lodge and Camps, a summer fishing resort at Nimpo Lake in the Chilcotin in 1949 and operated it until son Duncan took over in the 1980’s
The family moved back to the Okanagan and took up skiing when Ginny was 40 years old. Ginny and Bob went on many ski trips to the U.S. and Europe, also heli-skiing in the Canadian Rockies. Her favorite mountain was Silver Star, which she skied every winter until her 80’s, volunteering with the Ski Host Program.Over the course of her life Ginny travelled to Europe, Africa, South America and the South Pacific. Ginny loved nature and spent many happy hours hiking, birding and exploring with the North Okanagan Naturalists’ Association. In recent years she joined the Red Hat Rebels with her daughter Bonnie and enjoyed their group outings very much.Ginny was predeceased by her husband Bob in 2001 and her second husband Don McLean in 2013. She is survived by her sisters, Eunice Walton, Marian (Percy) Sims and Shirley Nilsson and by her children Rob (Pegge) Stewart of Bella Coola, Bonnie (Walt) Kantymir of Enderby, Wendy (Doug) Clarke of Williams Lake, Duncan (Angela) Stewart of Nimpo Lake, Eleanor (Darryl) Pengelly of Caroline, Alberta and Donna (Ralph) Saunders of Telkwa. She was beloved Grandma and Nana to 18 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren.Ginny was a loving wife, mother and grandmother, steadfast sister and intrepid adventurer. She will be missed by all who knew her.
Services for the late Ginny Stewart McLean will be held at Pleasant Valley Funeral Home in Vernon on Saturday, January 3 at 1:30 p.m.

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
