Coast Mountain News Thursday, August 15, 2013 A1

This week’s cooler weather brought some much needed lower temperatures and precipitation, helping to ease local forest fire conditions. With the exception of the rare thunderstorm, Bella Coola hasn’t seen significant rainfall in over a month. The extremely dry conditions led to a number of lightening strikes, resulting in several fires throughout the area.

Records were set across the province for the driest July ever, with absolutely no rain for Vancouver or Victoria. Bella Coola saw some sprinkling, but nothing substantial. Hot weather dominated the forecast for weeks, with temperatures consistently in the high 20s or low 30s.

The largest fire in the Bella Coola area is situated in South Bentinck and, at press time,

was 130 hectares in size. Smoke from the fire has been drifting into the Valley for the past week, making for some hazy days. However, the fire has slowed down significantly in the past few days.

“The South Bentinck fire is below the Blue Jay Lake Recreation site and the Clayton Falls FSR is closed to protect public safety. The Recreation site is above the fire, and as

fire travels uphill easier than down, it’s not a good place for the public to be,” said Donna MacPherson, Coastal Fire Information Officer. “This fire is being closely monitored, but crews are not working it due to the steepness of the slope and the instability of the trees where the fire is burning. This location has been burned before, and there are a lot of snags and unstable trees.”

The second fire is located at Horsetail Falls in Tweedsmuir Park, and is now listed at 100 percent contained but will be subject to patrols to make sure it doesn’t start up again. This fire was also the site of a helicopter accident. Last week, a Kamov helicopter run by Vancouver Island Helicopters was forced to make a hard

landing when the pilot had to punch off the longline and water bucket. Fortunately there were no injuries.

There are also two fires in the Kimsquit area that are currently being monitored, but the area is so smoky that it was difficult for crews to estimate the sizes. Resources in the Valley, as of press time, include three Initial Attack crews of three firefighters each, plus a RAP crew of three, (the RAP crew is a rappel crew able to exit a hovering helicopter on rappel gear and they are used to create access for fires in steep and inaccessible areas), one Unit Crew (twenty firefighters

total), four danger tree fallers, and five helicopters plus one RAP helicopter.

The Chilcotin Plateau has seen its fair share of fires in the past, but this year the fires are situated well away from Highway 20 and are not threatening any structures or homes.

“The biggest fire we have right now is in the Itcha Ilgachuz Provincial Park, and it’s 1,200 hectares,” said Fire Information Officer Greig Bethel. “We had a few small spot fires along Highway 20 between Tatla Lake and Riske Creek but none are threatening the highway.”

The current fire danger rating is high to extreme for the Bella Coola Valley and is expected to stay that way until there is some significant rainfall. “We need at least

three to four days of steady rain for it to permeate the ground and make a real difference,” said MacPherson. “We are asking the public to be very careful with

any sparks, as the Valley has a high to extreme fire danger rating at this time.

There is a prohibition against all open burning, including campfires.”

Press release Tweedsmuir Park

Lodge is proud to host internationally acclaimed wildlife photographer Charles “Chas” Glatzer for an exclusive Grizzly Bear Viewing Photography Workshop from September 26 to October 2, 2013, among the staggering backdrop of glaciers,

rugged peaks and lush old growth coastal forests that character-ize British Columbia’s Bella Coola region.

Every autumn, when salmon return from the ocean to spawn in their rivers of origin, the Bella Coola Valley becomes home to a stagger-ing concentration of grizzly bears. Ursus

arctos horribilis – the grizzly. It is the apex predator of the British Columbia coast and capturing this majes-tic animal in its natu-ral setting through the lens of a camera can be one of life’s most thrilling experiences for both professional and novice photogra-phers.

As the owner

of Shoot the Light, Glatzer has led pho-tography workshops around the globe, in locations as diverse as Alaska, Falkland Islands and Kenya. Wildlife photography requires intimate knowledge of animal behavior, technical understanding of light and composition and a willingness to place yourself in a natural setting and await the perfect combination of light, action and beauty.

Glatzer is a master of this art, having led more than 50 bear photography work-shops. And, with more than 30 years of field experience and 40 major photography awards to his credit, Glatzer’s images have appeared in National Geographic, Smithsonian, Travel & Leisure, Nature Photographer, Popular Photography and many more inter-national publications.

The workshop

is limited to eight guests, giving par-ticipants ample opportunity for one-on-one interaction and instruction with Glatzer and up close viewings of grizzlies as they roam the riv-erbanks and riffles, feasting on salmon in preparation for winter’s hibernation. Throughout the week, nature hikes will be led by an expert guide who will teach guests how to identify bear signs such as claw

marks on trees or paw prints in the soft earth. River floats will immerse guests in the bears’ preferred fall habitat where salmon are spawning.

For more infor-mation about the workshop, visit www.shootthelight.com (1-828-891-4082, [email protected]) or visit Tweedsmuir Park Lodge online at www.tweedsmuirparklodge.com or call 1-877-982-2407.

Crystal J performing at the 2011 Bella Coola Music Festival

Local Nuxalkmc performer/hip hop artist Crystal J has been nominated for an Aboriginal People’s Choice award for ‘Best Pop CD.’

Crystal J found her love for music at a young age. Her parents being Church Minsters, she has always been sur-rounded by musi-cians. Crystal had taken the stage with her father by her side at the age of five.

She never had a fear for being in the lime light. While in high school, she had joined various groups from school choirs

to acting and team spirit dance groups. She continued to be inspired at her family’s church and found her voice by singing the Gospel. While keeping bal-ance at church, she also grew up with love and respect for first nations culture. She joined a drum group and sang and danced pow wow.

At the age of 15, she moved to Vancouver with her biological mother where she had met other First Nations performers and had decided that Singing was her dreams. Her

biological mom had introduced her to new but yet familiar music by artists like Lauren Hill and Alicia Keys.

These phenomenal singers had become Crystal J's biggest inspiration to her style of singing. She record-ed with various artists in the Vancouver area from being featured on albums to record-ing her own mix tape material. While mov-ing ahead with her music she had then joined the woman's hip hop based group the First Ladies Crew, which was founded by Jb the First Lady and the group con-

tinues to be a strong threshold and repre-sentation for Native Woman in perfor-mance.

Crystal J has just released her Debut album titled “Love” The entire album has eight full tracks of soulful music and ranges from upbeat dance song to soft and romantic and is enjoy-able for all ages.

The Aboriginal People’s Choice Awards are set to take place August 17 and 18 and include recent Bella Coola Music Festival perform-ers Derek Miller and George Leach.

Many people keep an eye on their cholesterol levels, get tested and watch what they eat, all in the expectation of keeping cholesterol in check. The payoff for controlling blood cho-lesterol is a significant reduction in heart problems and the likelihood of stroke or heart attack. Because we are not all so dili-gent, it is time to share some knowledge we should all have. Let’s find out more about cholesterol.

Not surprisingly, the topic of cholester-ol brings to mind that we should be watch-ing what we eat: think of eggs and ‘all that cholesterol’ and con-suming meat. But did you know that chicken and beef have about the same amount of cholesterol? And that no foods contain “good” cholesterol? Confused yet?

First off, we should know that cholesterol is an essential for all animals. It is a waxy, fat-like substance made in the liver. It is also found in certain foods: any animals product including dairy, eggs and meat. While we measure blood cholesterol, it is actually found in all the cells in your body; it is required for the body to function

properly. Cell walls, or membranes, need cholesterol in order to produce hormones, vitamin D, and the bile acids that help to digest fat.

The problem with cholesterol arrives when there is too much present. Sure, we need cholesterol, but the liver makes more than enough to meet the body’s needs. We do not need to eat any to stay healthy. When we do eat products contain-ing cholesterol, it is called dietary choles-terol.

Excess choles-terol is excreted by the liver, but some is deposited on the walls of arteries where it contributes to the formation of plaque which in turn contrib-utes to atherosclerosis and potential heart attack or stroke. Enter LDL and HDL, the infamous/famous cholesterol duo.

High-Density Lipoproteins (HDL) the so-called ‘good’

cholesterol will never show up in an ingre-dients list. That’s because there are no different types of cho-lesterol — not until it is processed by the liver. HDL is consid-ered ‘good’ because it collects excess cho-lesterol and brings it back to the liver for reprocessing.

On the other hand, Low-Density Lipoprotein are called the ‘bad’ cholesterol

because after carrying cholesterol to the cells it leaves any unused residue (the fatty, waxy substance we’ve all seen on science or liposuction televi-sion).

It turns out that while we should be concerned about our cholesterol levels, one of the crucial things to keep in mind is where that choles-terol is located. What matters less than the

amount of choles-terol consumed is the amount and type of fat consumed. This is what affects blood cholesterol levels most. Watch for satu-rated and trans-fats as they both raise the levels of LDL (‘bad’) cholesterol.

The effects of dietary cholesterol

on the body vary and while it will raise blood cholesterol lev-els in most people, the real effect depends on genetics, body weight, insulin levels and metabolic factors. That means for people who are obese or have diabetes, controlling dietary cholesterol is much more impor-

tant. The good news is that there are sev-eral options to help. These will work alone or in combination: diet, exercise, weight loss and if necessary, medications.

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.

BC Ambulance Service paramedics in Bella Coola were busy as they attended a two-day training ses-sion in conjunction with the Bella Coola station open house for

recruitment. Eight BCAS para-

medics from the Bella Coola and Anahim stations attended the education sessions at the Hagensborg/Bella Coola Legion, which included recertification of

Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) for Health Care Providers, Dealing with Death and Dying – a new course developed to help paramedics under-stand, appreciate and better manage the

experience of giv-ing notice of death, and Musculoskeletal Injury (MSI) preven-tion training to ensure crews stay healthy while working to provide care for their

patients. Training was done by Regional Training Officer Laine Smith and paramedic Patti Thompson from the Quesnel station.

The open house at Bella Coola Station

227 welcomed the community to learn more about the services BCAS para-medics provide and information about paramedicine as a career.

Several interested candidates attended the information ses-sion. More recruit-ment and training sessions will be done in Bella Coola throughout the year.

For more informa-tion on employment opportunities, please visit www.bcas.ca. BCAS operates under the authority of BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) to provide residents and healthcare profession-als with access to pre-hospital emergency and patient transfer services.

The Community Support Society has awarded recognition to 17 local people who were nominated through Gold Boxes found at several local stores. Each nominee has helped members of our community who have been vic-tims of crime, or have been supporting those who are dealing

with grief and loss.“Originally, the

grant was to be for victims of crime, but it changed along the way to include those who were hurt-ing, many who were nominated were helping people griev-ing or experiencing loss. Unfortunately this was very rel-evant in our com-munity at the time of the granting.” said

Teresa McCausland, Executive Director of the CSS. “To stand up for somebody who has been a victim, especially in such a small commu-nity, means going up against family and friends, and the per-petrators family and friends. There are a few brave individu-als who risk standing alone with these vic-tims.”

“It’s not an easy place to be in, but otherwise the victims would just suffer in silence,” continues McCausland. “People who have been vic-timized feel alone and this was to acknowl-edge those who stand with victims. The community nomi-nated these people and we couldn’t pick just one, so we split the funding in order

to recognize everyone who was nominated.”

Every nominee will receive a $55 gift cer-tificate to either Swan ’Goose, the Co-op, Tru Value, or Moore’s Market, as well as a spirit kit, contain-ing some thoughtful items for when you might be down; “a Hershey’s Kiss for when you need it” is one such item.

Savard-Tweedie, who works with the Bella Coola Victim Assistance Program, perhaps summa-rized it best “The importance of having people remember that using your heart and not having to be paid for it is priceless in and of itself.”

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-

Blacker worked as a police officer in New Westminster 17 years ago and in 2000, he and then Lt.-Gov. Stephen L. Point had a conversation and Point wanted Blacker to become his aid-de-campe.

“From that little

nugget of a conversa-tion we've now got all these libraries,” said Blacker.

Point, former chief of the Skowkale First Nation and the prov-ince’s first aboriginal lieutenant governor, asked Blacker what Rotary was doing to promote literacy. Blacker discussed all the wonderful things being done inter-nationally in places like Indonesia, Africa and Malaysia. Point, who made literacy a key focus of his term, thought “Very nice, but what is Rotary doing to help literacy in British Columbia?”

“At Rotary we do all these great inter-national projects but right here in our own backyard we've got places resembling third world countries so he (Point) wanted to concentrate more on that,” explains Blacker.

The Williams Lake Daybreak Rotary Club was actually the trend setter is starting Government House/ Rotary Literacy Project community libraries. What started off as a small idea

to provide a modu-lar trailer to serve as a library for the Toosie band in Riske Creek has taken off like wildfire. Blacker has been the main “shot caller” in now helping set up nine community libraries much to the delight of Point's vision on his Aboriginal Literacy Project.

“Williams Lake were the first Rotary club to come forward to put a library in Toosie, so they were the champion that sparked this,” said Blacker.

Blacker commends the work of lakecity rotarian Shirley Pat Chamberlain. “I swear she puts a finger in a light socket every morning because she's just a little bundle of energy and without her we would never have come this far.”

Blacker, who received the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal in February, 2012 for his rotary service, has been nothing short of a saint to the First Nations people of B.C. Blacker recently

answered a call for help from Bella Bella to help re-open the Thistalalh Memorial Library.

“18 month's ago Stephen (Point) and I visited Bella Bella and sat down to look at the idea of furthering his vision and start-ing a library there,” said Blacker. “They had this wonderful little coffee shop and library so we thought they've already got a library and left it at that.”

After the July 12 fire in Bella Bella, the building that housed the Thistalalh Memorial Library suf-fered extensive dam-age. Blacker received a call from Library Director Jesse Housty asking for help.

Through Blackers connections he was able to arrange for a new library. He con-tacted Britco General Manager, Christoph Neufeld, about send-ing a module build-ing. Brian Van Sickle of London Drugs came aboard as his company provides HP computers, printers and wifi to the librar-ies. Burnaby RCMP

Chief Superintendent Dave Critchly arranged flights to Bella Bella on the forces aircraft and photographer Dave Plett offered his ser-vices as well.

“We flew up in the RCMP aircraft and sat down with Jesse and sealed the deal,” said Blacker. “Brian donat-ed three computers, one for the office and two for the library to get them up and run-ning.”

Blacker also com-mends B.C. Ferries for their support as they agreed to have the modular build-ing shipped from Tsawassen up to Port Hardy and then on to Bella Bella. It is expected to arrive in late August.

Housty has been overwhelmed with the support they've received. “It's been really astonishing how much support from across the province we have received,” said Housty. “Our new library is expected to arrive at the end of August fully renovated and with shelving,” said Housty. “We have book drop sites set up

across the province as well.”

Blacker's impact has been felt through-out the Cariboo Chilcotin region. He co-founded the Dental Missions which brought the UBC Faculty of Dentistry to Anaham Reserve in July to offer residents three days of free dental services. He was also instrumental in bring Rotary libraries to Toosie and Stone

reserves. The other libraries are located in River's Inlet, Halalt, Klemtu, Old Massett, Fort Rupert and Fort Ware with Nemiah Valley on Blacker's radar to be the ninth library up running by the end of the year.

“I'm always totally astounded by the acceptance and appreciation in these First Nations com-munities – it makes it all worthwhile,” said Blacker.

The people of Bella Bella are focused on rebuilding and restocking. It's been over a month since a fire in the wee hours of Friday, July 12 gutted the seaside community along B.C.'s Central Coast. The blaze which was deliberately set by three teenage girls destroyed the com-munity's only grocery store which contained a post office, cafe and liquor store.

“I think the rebuild process is coming along just fine. The community has been very resourceful,” said Bella Bella RCMP Sgt. Glen Caston. “We've got a temporary store in a local church, the post office in in the elders building and the liquor store is at the old fish plant and the cafe is up and running at a new loca-tion as well.”

According to Caston, he feels from an outsiders perspec-tive that the store has been able to keep up with the demand. The rebuilding of the store is currently still in the planning phase but it will not be rebuilt at its existing location.

“We know that a new store is going to be built as a brand new structure at a dif-ferent property,” said Caston.

The building also housed the Thistalalh Memorial Library which suffered extensive damage. The library has been receiving shipments of books donated from across the prov-ince.

Bob Blacker, Rotary Club member and aid to Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon, has helped procure a module building for a tempo-rary library. Various Lower Mainland rotary clubs and

Britco (module build-ing company) have a temporary building being shipped from Tsawassen to Port Hardy and on to Bella Bella in the next few weeks.

“We've had a ton of book donations and with the help of Rotary Club and the government we've arranged for a tem-porary library struc-ture on its way,” said Caston.

Blacker's impact has already been felt throughout the Cariboo Chilcotin region. He founded the Dental Missions which brought the UBC Faculty of Dentistry to Anaham Reserve in July to offer residents three days of free dental services. He was also instru-mental in bring the blue rotary libraries to Toosey and Stone reserves.

The three girls aged 13,15, and 16 respon-

sible for the fire were arrested and RCMP investigators have for-warded their report to Crown Counsel, who are reviewing whether

to charge the teens.If the teens are

charged with arson it's likely they can avoid entering the criminal justice sys-

tem. In dealing with a small tight-knit com-munity like Bella Bella a restorative justice program is likely the case.

The girls have made apologies to residents and claim they did not inten-tionally start the fire.
