First Nations launch vision plan; ferry improvements targetedBY ERNEST HALL
Coastal First Nations, led by Aboriginal Tourism BC (AtBC), have launched a provincial plan to create a vision for tourism and economic development on British Columbia’s Central Coast.
In a recent meeting with Tourism Minister Shirley Bond and Transportation Minister Todd Stone, a lobby group of First Nations and tourism industry representa-tives received commitments from government to support a “vision” for the region “specifically focussing on tourism industry opportuni-ties.”
Their brief to the min-isters, presented by Bella Bella’s Heiltsuk Tribal Council represented by Central Coast Regional District (CCRD) Chair Reg Moody and AtBC’s Keith Henry, highlighted the need for “much improved and enhanced ferry service” as part of such a vision.
The group pointed to the “great strides” taken in diversifying local economies in recent years - particu-larly through ecotourism and aboriginal tourism – in accordance with a 2006 Land Use Plan developed collaboratively with the pro-vincial government.
Consequently, aboriginal tourism revenues increased
from $20 million provin-cially to $45 million between 2012 and 2014. However, according to the lobby group, this economic growth was crippled on the Central Coast with an estimated reduction of 50 percent in annual visitors since the direct ferry service between Port Hardy and Bella Coola was cut after the 2013 tourist season.
The cut involved replac-ing direct sailings of a 115-vehicle ferry with a “connector” service requir-ing a transfer at Bella Bella and employing the 16-vehi-cle MV Nimpkish (a vessel not suited to the volume of traffic the tourism industry requires). In their brief to
the Ministers, the group argued,
“We require some form of major, tourism-oriented ferry service to supply the volumes of visitors required to catalyze economic revi-talization on the Central Coast.”
Recognizing the value in creating a “vision” for the region, the ministers agreed to support the formation of a “working group” - to be headed by Keith Henry, AtBC CEO at the time and now CEO of ATAC (Aboriginal Tourism Association of Canada).
The group will also include staff from the rel-evant ministries. Once appointed, this group will
work with BC Ferries and Destination BC (formerly Tourism British Columbia), proposing recommenda-tions related to replacing the Nimpkish which is due to retire in 2017.
Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett, who attend-ed the meeting with the Ministers and who spear-headed the effort to form such a group, is pleased with the development. Addressing the Cariboo Coast Chilcotin Tourism Association (CCCTA) later, Barnett said the decision to replace the former Route #40 with the “connector” service was “devastating” and “controversial.”
But, she adds, the deci-
sion to form a working group is an “opportunity to create a tourism product that showcases the Coast, Vancouver Island, and the Chilcotin.” The region served by the Discovery Coast Circle Tour is “second to none,” she said.
Others involved in the meeting with the Ministers, hailed the AtBC initiative as positive. Pat Corbett, CCCTA Chair and a strong critic of the “connector” ferry ser-vice, described the vision initiative as “fundamental”, saying his group, the First Nations communities, TIABC, and the BC Hotels Association are highly sup-portive.

He described the decision to put a choke hold on the Discovery Coast Circle Tour as “despicable” and “unacceptable,” saying the tourism industry “will not stop” in its efforts to have ferry service restored and enhanced.
Walt Judas, Chief Executive Officer of the Tourism Industry Association of BC (TIABC), told the CCCTA meeting he is aware of a Chilcotin tourism operator whose business is down 85 per cent as a result of the diminished ferry service. He described
much of the criticism related to the cut in ferry service as “stomp-ing up and down,” say-ing that critics “haven’t been able to move the needle.” But now, after two seasons of dimin-ished service, “we see some doors opening.”
The new “vision” initiative is expected to call for two Central Coast ferry routes – one focussing on a direct Port Hardy-Bella Coola route involving a vessel and schedule that will appeal to tourists, simi-lar to the one weekly sailing of the former Route #40 which saw a 71 per cent ridership.
The tourism industry
views such a service necessary to satisfy the economy of scale need-ed to encourage invest-ment in tourism which has great potential if the ferry service is viewed to be an essential infra-structure component for economic development. The First Nations vision initiative is on the agen-da of the BC Summit of First Nations where consensus was recently achieved on a move toward collaboration with the government and coastal regional districts. The financing and composition of the new “working group” are currently under dis-cussion.

Tourism industry "will not stop"
New concession building under construction at Walker IslandBY KEN MCILWAIN
Black Sheep Timbers’ crew are hard at work here lowering a ridge beam into place on the new conces-sion building at Walker Island Park. Owners Kevin Matuga and Rod Krimmer, along with employees Justin Grey and Mike Severin, are assembling the timbers cut from cedar harvested at
the local landfill. Almost all
of the lumber for this project has been milled locally. Funding for the project is through the Federal Gas Tax Fund and Northern Development Initiative Trust’s Community Halls and Recreation Facilities Program.
CCRD staff and volunteers worked with designer Don Gesinger to arrive at a concept design that would provide
significant covered deck space around a central conces-sion area.
The goal is to have the new con-cession ready in time for the start of the 2016 ball sea-son. Stay tuned for further updates.

Williams Lake Minor Hockey office administrator Pam Povelofskie can barely move around her office at the Cariboo Memorial Complex, and that suits her just fine.
That’s after a massive shipment of hockey equipment arrived in Williams Lake this week, liter-ally filling her office from wall to wall and floor to ceiling, courtesy of none other than Montreal Canadiens’ net-minder and Anahim Lake's Carey Price.
“It’s a good mess,” Povelofskie said Wednesday. “I love it.”
Price and CCM — his equipment
provider — sent thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of goaltend-ing equipment to the WLMHA, hockey sticks and gear to the Williams Lake KidSport chapter, the Boys and Girls Club of Williams Lake and District, Williams Lake Big Brothers Big Sisters and 15 more sets of gear split between the Tsilhqot’in Nation (TN), the Northern Shuswap Tribal Council (NSTC) and the Cariboo Chilcotin Tribal Council (CCTC).
Povelofskie and the WLMHA were contact by Carey’s dad, Jerry Price, who set up the dona-tions, and said it was something his son wanted to do.
Pads, block-ers, gloves, chest protectors and more will be dis-tributed among the WLMHA’s house divisions, Povelofskie said.
WLMHA house co-ordinator Todd Isnardy said the gear will ease the finan-cial burden for kids and parents, espe-cially in the bantam and midget divi-sions where goalten-ders are sparse. The donation will allow for players to try the position with top-quality gear.
“I’m very hum-bled Jerry and Carey and CCM still think of Williams Lake Minor Hockey,” Isnardy said.
“I’ve met Jerry a couple times and I’m amazed. When I talked to him I
said you are, as a hockey dad, the reason I got on the executive. That’s what we should be emulating. Both him and his son are so gracious, and I was almost speechless after I talked to him that first time.”
Meanwhile, Punky Lake Wilderness Camp Society’s adult jus-tice co-ordinator Bruce Baptiste was tasked with select-ing five youth (two girls and three boys), all strong role models, from the Tsilhqot’in Nation, to deliver the equip-ment to. The same was done for the NSTC and the CCTC by Shawn Holte and Bonnie Slack, respectively.
“They were really excited. Christmas
came early for those kids,” Baptiste said.
“I think it’s totally awesome [of Carey]. Giving back to the community like that and to kids that need the gear. I’m pretty impressed. One day I’ll meet him and give him thanks for this.”
KidSport secre-
tary Deb Radolla said she was thrilled the organization was contacted. As of Wednesday, the KidSport office at the CMRC was so full you could barely open the door.
“KidSport and JumpStart have been helping children in Williams Lake play
hockey and other sports in Williams Lake since 2005 but we have never had such a generous equipment dona-tion,” Radolla said.
“This will help many families in the community and make Williams Lake a healthier place to live, work and play.”

Wellness ReThink With Pastor Cameron Johnston
Bella Coola Seventh-day Adventist Church
Last weekend I had the marvelous opportunity to meet Rick Hanson, the “Man in Motion”. Now in his late 50s, he continues to be an amazing example of wellness.
As an athletic, carefree teenager at age 15 an accident left him a paraplegic.
Rick saw his situation as a challenge to overcome. He became an elite wheelchair athlete and competed for Cana-da in the 1984 Olympics in LA.
In 1985, motivated by his success, and a desire to make a difference in how people with a disability were perceived, he embarked on the record setting Man in Motion World Tour and became a Canadian hero.
Wellness is the harmonious development of the whole person spiritually, emotionally, relationally, physically, intellec-tually and professionally.
My favorite definition is “wellness is creating constant personal renewal where we recognize and act on the truth that each day is a miraculous gift and our job is to untie the ribbons.”
To fully enjoy wellness many of us need a NEWSTART® which includes
N – Excellent Nutrition
E – Regular Exercise
W – Pure Water S – Sunlight in Moderation T – Temperance in All Things
A – Fresh Air
R – Daily and Weekly Rest T – Trust in God
My friend Phil Brewer, the director of the Silver Hills Lifestyle Centre calls these the 8 natural doctors.
Mr. Brewer will be in Bella Coola in November. Don’t miss this opportunity for a wellness NEWSTART. For full info email: [email protected] or call 250.267.1660.

PRESS RELEASE
Today, Bullfrog Power, Canada's lead-ing green energy pro-vider, is announcing a partnership with the Kitasoo/Xai'Xais First Nation to develop the Klemtu Solar Project on a school rooftop in Klemtu, located on British Columbia's Central Coast.
The project is a result of the support of Bullfrog Power and major contributions by a coalition of partners including ELSE, Tides Canada Initiatives Society, Vancouver Foundation and Great Bear Initiative.
"Supporting the Klemtu Solar Project is another example of how Bullfrog Power is committed to working with isolated commu-nities who are looking to change how their
energy is produced," said Ron Seftel, CEO, Bullfrog Power.
"Thanks to the thousands of bullfrog-powered individuals and businesses across Canada, Bullfrog Power has been able to sup-port dozens of similar community renewable projects from coast to coast."
The Klemtu Solar Project is a 23 kW solar installation on the roof of the Kitasoo Community School in Klemtu, British Columbia.
The power gener-ated by the project will help the community to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels like diesel and to generate clean, pollution-free electric-ity.
"The Klemtu Solar Project is an important landmark in our goal of achieving energy
independence through a focus on environ-mentally sustainable forms of electric-ity generation," said Doug Neasloss, Chief, Kitasoo/Xai'Xais First Nation.
"Alongside Bullfrog Power and our partner-ships with ELSE, Tides Canada Initiatives Society, Vancouver Foundation and Great Bear Initiative, our community is taking an important step to reduce our environ-mental impact for decades to come."
Bullfrog Power has supported over 60 com-munity-based renew-able energy projects across Canada, includ-ing recently announced projects with Montana First Nation in Alberta and Sustainability Brant Community Energy Co-op in Ontario.
Bullfrog Power,
Canada's leading green energy pro-vider, offers renewable energy solutions that enable individuals and businesses to reduce their environmental impact, support the development of green energy projects in Canada and help cre-ate a cleaner, healthier world.
As a Certified B Corporation, Bullfrog Power meets higher standards of social and environmental perfor-mance, transparency, and accountability.
The Kitasoo/Xai'Xais community inhabits the remote village of Klemtu on Swindle Island, approximately 200 km from Port Hardy and Kitimat, BC.
This town of over 300 community mem-bers has a strong eco-system based economy, and history of clean
energy, having installed their first small, com-munity owned run-of-river hydro project in 1981.
As our climate con-tinues to warm, and the west coast experiences more warm winters and dry summers, this
solar project will enable the Kitasoo to avoid using diesel to generate electricity during dry months.

Acwsalcta school held its fifth annual Terry Fox run on October 9th .
The run has been happening in schools and com-munities across Canada for the last 35 years. The point of the run is to celebrate the life
and achievements of Canadian hero Terry Fox and to remember family and friends who we have lost to cancer.
The students raised $1367 for the Terry Fox Foundation which supports cancer research and those living with cancer. Grade 5 student Chloe George Evans
raised over $200 by herself.
The schools route was 2km around Four Mile. In total, the school ran 458km.
Acwsalcta also had some fun activi-ties as well includ-ing pies in faces and head shaving! Math teacher Laura Nudge shaved half of her head and
grade 10 student Carlos Edgar shaved his whole head. “I felt cold without my hair,” said Edgar. The school would like to thank the RCMP for helping out with traffic con-trol and encourag-ing students.
The students of Acwsalcta look forward to doing it again next year.

The Legion raised $2,370 and the dance $9,036 for a total of $11,406.
The dance floor was packed at Lobelco Hall while picking out who was who proved to be challenging! AKA provided some stellar music and the crowd danced the night away.
Ben and Erin Smith were touched by the efforts, saying that at these times the Valley “feels like a big family.” They were especially grateful to everyone who donat-ed; whether it be time, efforts, volunteer hours, raffle prizes and more.
“Thanks again for everyones support in our efforts to fund-raise for Erin's PPMS treatment.

We are all blessed to live in such an amazing caring and community minded Valley.
I have heard a few
people say, (and I happen to agree with them) that when these events are going on it almost feels like a big fam-ily. It really is great to

“These amounts have taken our total raised to $26,523 which is truly awe-some. While we are

DR. PAUL MARTIQUET,Medical HealtH Officer
Imagine get-ting sick in the late 1700s. You might simple get well again, or you might look for a physi-cian to treat you. Treatment at that time could include bloodletting or purging; surgery might be per-formed, but without anesthesia or ster-ile technique. And you might die as a result.
It was in this environment that a German phy-sician, Samuel
Hahnemann, devised the idea of homeopathy. He founded it on a belief that ‘like cures like’, the idea that what-ever caused disease could also cure it. Given the alterna-tives, this was a very welcome addi-tion to treatment options.
Fundamental to homeopathy is the dilution of sub-stances: the more diluted the greater the potency. Some substances are diluted a billion or more times. As the dilution increases, the original sub-stance may even
disappear, but homeopaths claim that even if the original substance in effect disappears, its ‘pattern’ remains in the liquid and can produce an effect.
Clinical trials over the past 20 years have tested the various claims of homeopathy including its treat-ments for allergies, migraines, colds and diarrhea, find-ing no support.
For example, Australia’s National Health and Research Council reviewed 176 exist-ing studies and con-cluded that “there are no health con-ditions for which
there is reliable evi-dence that home-opathy is effective.”
Around 1900, homeopathy was largely displaced by science-based medicine.
We began to learn about germs causing disease, vaccines and the need for sterile operating condi-tions.
So why does homeopathy per-sist? Some people are attracted to homeopathy because they see it as a gentler alter-native to modern medicine. They also react to the ‘natural’ label often affixed to homeopathic remedies. And
because they are so extremely diluted, there are not likely to be any negative side effects from the solution.
But that’s not enough to explain continued belief. One explanation advanced by non-believers is that any apparent suc-cess from home-opathy comes from a placebo effect. Practitioners spend a lot of time dis-cussing their cli-ent’s health and lifestyle, aiming to treat the whole person, not just the illness.
The placebo effect occurs when a belief in a remedy or in the power of a
trusted practitioner triggers an improve-ment in symptoms and health, even if the treatment is a dummy pill or sham procedure.
Given that most homeopathic rem-edies contain little if any actual ingre-dients beyond water and sometimes sugar, it is unlikely that any direct harm could come from taking them. Unfortunately, choosing a homeo-pathic solution can mean a delay in the use of proper diagnosis and truly effective medical treatment.
According to everything we know about biol-
ogy, chemistry and physics, home-opathy is highly implausible and should not work. When we properly evaluate homeo-pathic remedies we find that they indeed, do not work.
Today, home-opathy is a billion-dollar business, but it is no more effec-tive than it was two centuries ago.
