The South Bentinck fire is approximately 130 hectares

Cooler weather brings some reprieve to local forest fire conditions 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 SEE FIRE ON PAGE 3

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

The Itcha Ilgachuz fire on the plateau is the largest at 1,200 hectares, but is located far from Highway 20. 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.”

Local artist nominated for Aboriginal People’s Choice award 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 surrounded by musicians. 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 balance 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 recorded with various artists in the Vancouver area from being featured on albums to recording her own mix tape material. While moving 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 representation for Native Woman in performance. 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 enjoyable 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 performers Derek Miller and George Leach.

of Shoot the Light, Glatzer has led photography 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 workshops. 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 international publications. The workshop

is limited to eight guests, giving participants ample opportunity for oneon-one interaction and instruction with Glatzer and up close viewings of grizzlies as they roam the riverbanks 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

What about cholesterol? 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 cholesterol is a significant reduction in heart problems and the likelihood of stroke or heart attack. Because we are not all so diligent, it is time to share some knowledge we should all have. Let’s find out more about cholesterol. Not surprisingly, the topic of cholesterol brings to mind that we should be watching what we eat: think of eggs and ‘all that cholesterol’ and consuming 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

Dr. Paul Martiquet 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 containing cholesterol, it is called dietary cholesterol. Excess cholesterol 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 contributes 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 ingredients list. That’s because there are no different types of cholesterol — not until it is processed by the liver. HDL is considered ‘good’ because it collects excess cholesterol 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 television). 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 cholesterol is located. What matters less than the

“

THE LIVER MAKES MORE THAN ENOUGH [CHOLESTEROL] TO MEET THE BODY’S NEEDS”

amount of cholesterol consumed is the amount and type of fat consumed. This is what affects blood cholesterol levels most. Watch for saturated 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 levels 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 several 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, Seato-Sky, Bella Bella and Bella Coola.

Everyone has a role in keeping victims safe Simon Schopman 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 victims 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 hurting, many who were nominated were helping people grieving or experiencing loss. Unfortunately this was very relevant in our community 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 community, means going up against family and friends, and the perpetrators family and friends. There are a few brave individuals who risk standing alone with these victims.”

“It’s not an easy place to be in, but otherwise the victims would just suffer in silence,” continues McCausland. “People who have been victimized feel alone and this was to acknowledge those who stand with victims. The community nominated 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 certificate to either Swan ’Goose, the Co-op, Tru Value, or Moore’s Market, as well as a spirit kit, containing some thoughtful items for when you might be down; “a Hershey’s Kiss for when you need it” is one such item. Maria Spuxanm

Savard-Tweedie, who works with the Bella Coola Victim Assistance Program, perhaps summarized 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.” Congratulations and a big thanks to some of our great community members:

Bella Bella bouncing back from blaze Sean Glanville Cariboo Advisor 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 community'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 location as well.”

According to Caston, he feels from an outsiders perspective 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 different 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 province. Bob Blacker, Rotary Club member and aid to Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon, has helped procure a module building for a temporary library. Various Lower Mainland rotary clubs and

Britco (module building 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 temporary library structure on its way,” said Caston.

The community is rebuilding from the July 12 fire which gutted the town. sible for the fire were arrested and RCMP investigators have forwarded 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 community like Bella Bella a restorative justice program is likely the case.

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

Blacker lends helping hand to First Nations Sean Glanville Cariboo Advisor Through introducing libraries, dental clinics and working with isolated First Nations communities throughout the province, Bob Blacker has dedicated his life to helping others. The Rotary Club member of StevestonRichmond and aidde-campe to Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon has made an impact on thousands of people's lives. 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-decampe. “From that little

cmnews@caribooadvisor.com

nugget of a conversation we've now got all these libraries,” said Blacker. Point, former chief of the Skowkale First Nation and the province’s first aboriginal lieutenant governor, asked Blacker what Rotary was doing to promote literacy. Blacker discussed all the wonderful things being done internationally 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 international 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 modular 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 starting 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 suffered extensive damage. 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 contacted Britco General Manager, Christoph Neufeld, about sending a module building. Brian Van Sickle of London Drugs came aboard as his company provides HP computers, printers and wifi to the libraries. Burnaby RCMP

Chief Superintendent Dave Critchly arranged flights to Bella Bella on the forces aircraft and photographer Dave Plett offered his services as well. “We flew up in the RCMP aircraft and sat down with Jesse and sealed the deal,” said Blacker. “Brian donated three computers, one for the office and two for the library to get them up and running.” Blacker also commends B.C. Ferries for their support as they agreed to have the modular building 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

The pair are excited about arrangements made to re-open a new library at the end of August. across the province as well.” Blacker's impact has been felt throughout 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 communities – it makes it all worthwhile,” said Blacker.
