Stem-cell transplant scheduled for Bella Coola woman with MSBY CAITLIN THOMPSON
Three-month old Ruby Smith sits on her dad’s lap, smiling a wide grin as her parents sip their coffee. She’s the picture of baby perfection, a cherub of a girl set to charm everyone around her. Her parents are clearly enamored. “She’s a good sleeper,” shares her dad, Ben. “She gives us nine hours a night, so that really helps!”
The challenges of adjust-ing to a newborn, even one that sleeps well, can be
daunting even for those in perfect health. The chal-lenges of parenting when afflicted with primary pro-gressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS) are unimaginable.
Erin Smith was diag-nosed with the auto-immune disorder in November 2014, and since then her symptoms have gotten worse at an alarming rate. PPMS is a rare form of multiple sclerosis - only about 10 percent of MS patients are diagnosed with it. Unlike typical relaps-ing remitting MS, PPMS is characterized by a lack of
remissions. Drug therapies aimed at
“normal” remitting MS are ineffective at slowing the progression or alleviating symptoms. PPMS sufferers slowly lose their basic func-tions as the disease attacks myelin (a protective layer which covers the nerves in the brain and spinal cord), and eventually leads to complete paralysis.
Erin’s fine motor skills have deteriorated to the point that everyday tasks are nearly impossible. Ben delivers most of Ruby’s day-to-day care, as Erin’s limbs
simply won’t cooperate enough for her to complete the task.
“Last July I was holding a cup of tea in my right hand and then suddenly I threw it on my chest,” she explains. “Since then my right arm has deteriorated so much that I cannot eat or use a pen to write a note. I have to use my left hand for every-thing, and I’m right handed.
After discovering that PPMS is not treated in Canada, the couple began to look at treatment options elsewhere, and they con-cluded their best shot at
halting the disease lay in a treatment known as Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT).
Explained in layman’s terms, the treatment aims to destroy the faulty immune system using che-motherapy. It is then rebuilt with stem cells harvested from the patient’s own blood, cells that are at such an early stage they’ve not yet developed the flaws that trigger MS.
Following the chemo her own stem cells, now “clean” of PPMS, will be transplant-ed back into her body, and
the immune system is reset or rebooted back to a time point before it caused MS.
The couple said that various PPMS sufferers in online forums have reported very positive results following the proce-dure. While the treatment is essentially intended to halt the progression of the disease and offers no guar-antee that symptoms will reverse, some patients have reported that their symp-toms have lessened follow-ing the procedure.

BY CAITLIN THOMPSON
In 1992, on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, a First Nations woman, Cheryl Anne Joe, was horrendously mur-dered and dismem-bered, her body found at the corner of Powell and Salsbury. Cheryl Anne was a single mother with two young children, and in pain and outrage that fol-lowed, First Nations women initiated the Valentine’s Day Memorial March.
After Cheryl Anne’s death, residents began to piece together a disturbing picture; women were disap-pearing from the area and not returning. The march became an annual event to protest the high numbers of women missing and murdered in their community.
In its 26th year, the march is led by First
Nations women and moves through the DTES, stopping at sites where women died or were last seen to offer prayers, medicines, and roses in remem-brance. A healing ritual is performed at each site where a woman’s body has been found.
This year Acwsalcta students and staff took the long trip to Vancouver to partici-pate, and for many of them it was deeply personal.
Vanessa Hans, a cultural teacher at the school, is a sur-vivor in every sense. Her mother, Gloria Moody, disappeared in Williams Lake in 1969, when Vanessa was a baby. She was later found murdered in what is now recognized as the first case in the infamous “Highway of Tears.”
This was her first time participating in the march.
“It was powerful,” she shared. “Every
time we stopped it was to acknowledge a place where a woman went missing or was found murdered. And we stopped a lot.”
Beginning with speeches by the fami-lies at Carneige Hall, the march took place through the “poorest postal code in Canada” - the notorious Downtown Eastside (DTES). The area is noted for a high inci-dence of poverty drug use, sex trade, crime, violence, as well as a history of community activism.
10 young female students from Acwsalcta School attended the march, which was coordi-nated by High School Humanities teacher Laura McLellan. The group also used the time to visit the Museum of Anthropology at UBC and met with up-and coming First Nations physicians.
“I organized this
trip because the situa-tion of the missing and murdered indigenous women is the most pressing human rights issue in Canada today and it directly effects my students. I want my students to understand this ongoing problem and the best way to understand things is to experience it,” said McLellan. “It’s also difficult to understand the reality of the down town east side without seeing it with your own eyes. The march was a very powerful experi-ence in the heart of the worst neighbourhood in Canada and I hope this will stay with my students for the rest of their lives.”
While the hurt in the air was a palatable feeling, there was also a sense of urgency, and a sense of hope. Many are optimistic that the federal government, after being pressured for years to hold a national inquiry, will finally deliver on its promise to protect the lives of First Nations women and girls.
But it’s still a cau-tious optimism for some like Fay Blaney, who is a First Nations woman and an orga-nizer of the march.
“We’re still pressing for women’s groups to be heard within that process,” she said. “Currently they've consulted with families and within that front line service provid-ers have entered that space but there have been tensions with families.”
Jody Wilson-
Raybould, a member of the We Wai Kai Nation and the new federal Minister of Justice, has attended the march for a number of years, but this was her first time representing the fed-eral government.
“We’ve committed first and foremost to meet with the families,” she said. “Certainly we’ve committed to working with organiza-tions, aboriginal orga-nizations, women’s organizations, front line workers. We wel-come all contributions and perspectives.”
The number of missing or murdered indigenous women in Canada since 1980 may be as high as 4,000 - far more than previous estimates of 1,200, the federal government has said.
The Minister for the Status of Women, Patty Hadju, said there
were no accurate figures because of a lack of hard data, but cited research from the Native Women's Association of Canada (NWAC) that puts the figure at more than 4,000.
Ms. Hajdu and Indigenous Affairs Minister Carolyn Bennett have been speaking to survi-vors and relatives across Canada. The inquiry was a key election pledge by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during the campaign last year.
The often cited 1,200 figure came from a 2014 RCMP report on the missing women, related to the period between 1980 and 2012.
“During those discussions, the min-isters have heard from participants that they believe the number of
missing and murdered indigenous women and girls is higher than 1,200,” Ms Bennett said.
Hans is very hopeful the Trudeau govern-ment delivers on its promise for an inquiry, but says even if her mother’s murderer was caught, she doesn’t count on the justice system to deliver the desired results.
“First Nations women are hoping that the inquiry deliv-ers expedient action towards preventing violence against our First Nations women and girls,” she said.
“There is a sense that I could be a vic-tim, just because I’m a First Nations woman. I want people to remember my mom’s name, her life, who she was. Why are First Nations women not a priority?”

Clinical trials of HSCT in other coun-tries, most notably the UK, have been extremely successful, with some MS patients leaving their wheel-chairs behind after completion and walk-ing on their own.
“Ongoing research suggests stem cell treat-ments such as HSCT could offer hope, and it’s clear that in the cases highlighted by [BBC’s] Panorama they’ve had a life-changing impact,” said Dr. Emma Gray, head
of clinical trials at UK's MS Society.
While Canada is undertaking some clinical trials regarding stem-cell therapy for MS, there is little incen-tive for pharmaceuti-cal companies to get involved because the procedure involves no new drugs and instead re-purposes an exist-ing therapy using the patient’s own cells.
“There has been resistance to this in the pharmaceutical and academic world. This is not a technology you can patent and we have
achieved this without industry backing,” said Professor Richard Burt of Northwestern University, Chicago. Burt carried out the first HSCT for MS as long ago as 1995 and is coordinating the inter-national trial which began in 2006.
However, treatment costs for HSCT remain out of reach for most people, and the couple turned to fundraising to help. Together with the fundraising, their personal savings, and a generous donation from Ben’s mother,
they have managed to secure Erin’s treat-ment at a cost of about $73,000 Canadian.
“We estimate that about $15,000 - $17,000 was raised locally, just in Bella Coola,” said Ben. “The generosity of this small community is really overwhelming, and we are so thank-ful.”
Erin is slated to begin treatment this spring: a 26-day cycle of intense IV chemo-therapy and the subse-quent reintroduction of her own “clean” stem-cells. She will be closely
monitored throughout the treatment, requir-ing total isolation for much of it as her immune system will be almost annihilated in the process.
Dr. Gray said people should be aware it was an “aggressive treatment that comes with significant risks,” but called for more research into HSCT so there could be greater understanding of its safety and long term effectiveness.
“When I return home everything has to be completely ster-
ile,” she explains. “My immune system will be so low that any infec-tion I contract could lead to septic shock.”
She’s been instruct-ed to refrain from eat-ing at restaurants to avoid food poisoning and the couples dogs have been transferred to another home while her immune system rebuilds.
Despite her diag-nosis and impend-ing treatment, Erin is inspirational and funny, often cracking jokes about her condi-tion and looking to the
future with optimism.Both her and Ben
mentioned a desire to “pay it forward” once Erin’s treatment is complete, expressing the idea to continue the Halloween fun-draiser dance with the proceeds going towards a community group or individual in need.
“We couldn’t have done it without the support of this com-munity,” she said.
“And we’d really like to carrying on that tradition when we return.”
Estimated $17,000 raised locally for transplant treatment

Bella Coola was treated to a special evening of entertain-ment last Saturday at the Moose Hall.
“Night at the Theatre and Dance” was the collaborative effort of a large number of Bella Coola commu-nity members, under the creative direc-tion of Rose Clark.
Supported by the Bella Coola Valley Learning Society, the Bella Coola Valley Arts Council, the BC Arts Council, and Vancouver Coastal Health, the evening
was a mix of “music, mayhem, intrigue, secrets, and of course dinner.”
It was a packed house as guests arrived early for din-ner before taking their seats (if they could find one). The show opened with a performance by the Valley Fiddle Group
under the tutelage of Janice Kyle.
The first skit, “DMV Tyrant,” featuring Faith Fontaine and Rose Clark, was a hilari-ous rendition of a woman’s attempt to get a driver’s license from a very unac-commodating clerk. Fontaine delivered the role spot on and the audience was in stitches.
Music was pro-vided throughout the evening in a variety of formats. The first inter-lude featured local musicians Andrew Stapleton, Katy Best and David Brown, who performed a storytelling tune, “Wild Bill Jones.” Jessi Robinson, a special guest to the Valley, performed two opera numbers, “Caro Mio Ben,” and “Wishing You Were Somewhere Here Again.”
The second play was a monologue by Rowen Atkinson entitled “Father of the Bride,” which was impeccably delivered by local actor John Morton. The third act of the evening, “Self Defense Against Fresh Fruit,” was a Monty Python skit that featured Ray McIlwain as the Sargent, with Emma Brown, Lu Bittner, and Garfield Kirk as his recruits. This outrageous number was full of surprises, including Ariana Diguistini as a tiger in the end!
The last two skits starred a number of characters who had imbibed a bit more than they should have. Rose Clark as Tiffany and John Morton as Jake were a perfect match in “Strange Encounters” about a young woman’s
rather odd run of bad luck.
The last per-formance of the evening featured the skillful cast of Ray McIlwain, Tom Carneigh, and Diana Saugstad. McIlwain delivered a great perfor-mance as Bernard, a grouchy book-store owner, while Saugstad and Carneigh had the audience in stitches with her portrayal of Fran, his neurotic long-time friend, and Manny, the hired help. David Brown, in a cameo as Manny’s love interest, Rowena, topped off the hilar-ious happenings of a night out.
The evening came to a close with a performance by the Valley’s new-est musical trio, the aptly named “Wayne’s Buddy Rose.”

PRESS RELEASE
The Great Bear Rainforest (Forest Management) Act, introduced last week, supports a strict new ecosys-tem-based manage-ment regime created through unprec-edented collabora-tion for the globally unique region along British Columbia's north and central coast.
The Great Bear Rainforest covers 6.4 million hectares, and includes one-quarter of the world's coastal temperate rainforest.
Ecosystem-based management was central to an agree-ment involving envi-ronmental groups and forest compa-nies, and endorsed by local First Nations and the B.C. gov-ernment. It is an adaptive, systematic approach to manag-ing human activities that seeks to ensure the co-existence of healthy, fully func-tioning ecosystems and human commu-nities.
This innovative approach to for-est management requires support-ing legislation. The
act, if passed and brought into force, will enable imple-mentation of unique ecosystem-based management rules in the Great Bear Rainforest that move beyond current leg-islation while ensur-ing normal rules under the Forest Act still apply.
The act will legal-ly establish a Great Bear Rainforest area, and assign an initial allowable annual cut of 2.5 million cubic metres per year for 10 years for the entire area. After 10 years, the allowable annual cut would be determined by the chief forester under Section 8 of the Forest Act, as is the case in other man-agement units.
It will establish new timber supply areas and reconfig-ure existing ones to better reflect the boundaries of the Great Bear Rainforest, and pro-vide for the designa-tion of new special forest management areas that prohibit
commercial timber harvesting activities.
It will enable regulations to
specify where for-est practices may differ from those under the Forest and Range Practices Act and regulations, and allow the min-ister to set "parti-tions" at the licence level. Partitions can be set to ensure a certain portion of a licensee's annual cut is directed in a par-ticular geographic area, or restricted to a particular tree spe-cies.
The act, which makes it clear that the unique provisions under ecosystem-based management apply only to the Great Bear Rainforest, will come into force by enabling regulation
in summer 2016.“We have a shared
responsibility to pass on our province to future genera-tions as magnificent and pristine as we found it while con-tinuing the ancient tradition of making a living off the land. Today is the culmi-nation of working together with First Nations, industry and environmental organizations for a common purpose,” said Premier Christy Clark.
“ The Great Bear Rainforest (Forest Management) Act brings increased environmental sus-tainability to all our traditional territo-ries. It also provides
greater access to forestry opportuni-ties; as well as own-ership to more car-bon tonnes than we currently have and includes special pro-tection areas,” said Chief Marilyn Slett, president, Coastal First Nations.
With the new measures in the land use order and legislation, 85% of the forest will be protected and 15% (550,000 hectares) will be available for logging, supporting local jobs. The act creates special forest management areas - 273,000 hectares where commercial timber harvesting activities are prohib-ited.

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
