BC snowpack above average but local spring flooding will be weather dependent BY STEPHEN WAUGH E MERGENCY P ROGRAM C OORDINATOR British Columbia is experiencing the highest average snowpack in many years and that has emergency program officials throughout the province concerned about the potential for flooding. Media reports have been showing
flood mitigation efforts in various communities, particularly those located in the Fraser Valley. The mighty Fraser River and most if not all of its tributaries are at a very high flood risk level this spring and crews are working feverishly to shore up dikes in preparation for the worst. While the rest of
the province enters a nearpanic mode, the pressure to prepare for flooding is also being applied to the Bella Coola Valley area. Provincial agencies and utility companies alike have been updating their plans and ensuring they’re prepared to deal with any flood emergency that may occur in our communities. This
is always a good thing and the local emergency program has been cooperating with all outside requests for information and assistance. However, the question of whether or not Bella Coola will see any major flooding this spring rests with the weather forecast. While flooding is recognized as one of the most
common hazards that our community faces, the traditionally large flood events have taken place in the fall as this is when we normally expect heavy rains in Bella Coola. The ‘Pineapple Express’ from Hawaii, as it’s known, can bring huge volumes of rain to the BC coast SEE FLOODING ON PAGE 3

THANK YOU IN MEMORY OF Daniel Joseph Chervenka April 13/1935 ~ April 24/2011 Our family would like to thank all the nurses, doctors and hospital personnel who, in one way or another, cared for our loved one, Dan, during his final months in hospital. You were all wonderful. Also neighbors and friends who came by to say hello, even although Dan was unable to respond fully at times. He was undoubtedly aware of your presence and was happy to see you. To those of you who sent cards/flowers and special treats thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Words simply do not suffice. We will miss him terribly. In keeping with his wishes no funeral or gathering was held. It is our intention to spread his ashes in the place where he and his life long friend Bill spent many happy times hunting moose.

and if this happens to fall on ‘ripe’ wet snow it can cause very high runoff and often severe flooding. This type of weather event is uncommon in the spring, so by sheer mathematical odds the likelihood of spring flooding is substantially less than fall flooding. Having said that, it is always important for residents to understand the particular risks associated with their property and their community and we encourage all families to have an emergency plan in place. I have lots of information on this topic if anyone
needs assistance. In addition, there have been significant changes occurring to some local streams, including the Bella Coola River itself, and this can mean that areas not generally known to have a risk of flooding might see an increase in this risk. It’s important for all residents to be aware of their natural surroundings and the chang-
es that can occur. Your local emergency program is always working to identify changes to the community’s risk profile and solicits the provincial government for flood mitigation assistance on an ongoing basis. However, it remains the responsibility of individuals to be prepared for the unexpected.

Locals to be honoured at Premier’s Awards for work during flood The contributions and accomplishments of BC’s interior and northern public service employees were recognized this month with the Premier’s Innovation and Excellence Awards. “I would like to personally thank each of these recipients for the inspiring work they do for the people, families and communities of British Columbia,” said Premier Christy Clark. “Because you take on the challenges and strive to make a positive difference, communities across BC are benefiting from your work.” The Premier’s Awards acknowledge outstanding achievement in all areas of public service including innovation,
leadership and partnership. This year, five employees from the interior and northern regions received awards in the Cross-Government Integration, Emerging Leader, Innovation, Leadership and Partnership categories. Staff at the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and their partners will be honoured for their remarkable response and recovery efforts to the heavy rainstorm and floods in the Bella Coola Valley. Following heavy rainfall the only highway to Bella Coola was damaged and made impassable. Many agencies partnered to open Highway 20 in only 17 days. The massive rainfall caused
washouts, rock falls and flooding and left Bella Coola residents in fear they would be cut off from food, fuel, and emergency services. The team planned, initiated and completed $20.7 million worth of emergency work. Barges brought help from Vancouver, including heavy equipment and much-needed fuel. Over 50 pieces of equipment and 100 people worked 24-7 to restore access, while local governments pitched in to create command centres and handle communications. The Coast Mountain News will feature the recipients in the following edition.

Effects of rising B.C. Hydro rates may hit harder in Bella Coola B.C. Hydro may hit consumers with three years of rate hikes to help pay for a $6-billion upgrade to aging infrastructure and to meet an expected growing demand for electricity. B.C. Hydro is forecasting a rate hike of about 10 per cent a year in each of the next three years. The increases will help finance upgrades for about a dozen dams and generating stations around the province, including the 80-year-old Ruskin Dam that will require an $800-million investment. New transmission lines will also be built to link existing and new substations. The utility will focus on conservation strategies to help meet the target of providing 66 per cent of new electricity demand through conservation by 2020, Hydro president Dave Cobb said Tuesday. If the increases are approved by the B.C. Utilities Commission, it would boost the average residential bill of $77 a month to $92 a month, an average increase of $180 a year. B.C. Hydro has several zones, including Zone I and Zone II. Bella Coola is a non-integrated area (off the main power grid) and therefore Zone II rates apply. Zone II rates are slightly more expensive than Zone I rates, and the CCRD remains concerned that these price increases will be detrimental to the community. The CCRD’s meeting minutes confirm that ‘qualifications for lower rates were discussed and comment that perhaps it is time to renew a lobbying process, update the MLA and the MP and reignite communications with the B.C. Utilities Commission’s stand on the matter. A letter will be sent to the B.C. Utilities Commission regarding hydro zone rates.’ Dave Mosure, Northern Community
Relations Coordinator for BC Hydro, said that the rate increase is before the B.C. Utilities Commission. “As to the proposed rate increase of 9.73% per year for the next three years that is before the B.C. Utilities Commission,” said Mosure. “That is across all rates so Zone I and II would go up equally on a percentage basis.” However, the rate increases will have a more detrimental affect on Bella Coola customers as they are situated in Zone II, and their rates are already higher. For example, if a Bella Coola customer consumes more than 1500kWh (kilowatt hour) of electricity a month, they move into what B.C. Hydro calls the ‘second block,’ where each kilowatt hour nearly doubles in price. This isn’t the case in Zone I, where customers consuming above their monthly kilowatt hour allowance pay a marginally higher fee. Mosure says this system, in place since the 1980’s, was meant to capture the higher generation costs in Zone II. But, he says, it hasn’t actually kept up with the reality of the radically higher costs than what Zone II customers are actually paying. “I believe the actual average generation costs in Zone II are greater than 20 cents per kWh, not the 7.26 cents per kWh they are currently paying for their first 1500kWh ” said Mosure. “So in theory
Zone II residents are paying more than Zone I, especially if they go into the second block, but residents in Zone II are not being charged the full cost of providing electricity to them.” However, the B.C. government has recently set up a panel to review B.C. Hydro’s plan to raise rates. Energy Minister Rich Coleman believes the rate increases are too much and says his review panel will examine B.C. Hydro’s expenses, the reliability of its forecasting systems, and look for opportunities to save money. “Our goal is to find the right balance between investing in our hydro system, while keeping rates as low as possible for B.C. families - and this review will help us do just that,” said Coleman in a statement. The panel will report back to the government by the end of June, he said, and the final report will be made public. B.C. residents pay some of the lowest rates in North America for electrical power because of the province's large infrastructure of hydro dams. But many of the facilities are 30 to 80 years old, including those in Bella Coola, and in need of upgrades, according to B.C. Hydro. B.C. Hydro is the counting on the Site C dam in northeast B.C., which has a new projected price tag of almost $8 billion and has moved to the

first stage of an environmental review, to alleviate some of the energy concerns the corporation is facing. B.C. Hydro says an updated design for the dam shows the project would cost $7.9 billion at today's prices for labour, equipment and materials. Five years ago, the cost estimate for the Peace River project was less than $3 billion. That jumped to $6.6 billion by 2010. Much of the increase is due to an upgrade to the old design, said B.C. Hydro's Dave Conway. “The project description report actually provides

a general overview of the Site C project, describes key upgrades to the now over 30-year-old historic design that we've upgraded meet current seismic safety and environmental guidelines,” said Conway. B.C. NDP energy critic John Horgan doesn't believe we've heard the end of the spiralling costs. “I’m not convinced we're at the final figure today,” said Horgan. “I think we’ve got a couple of billion dol-
lars more to go before we’re done.” Horgan added that the government’s decision last year to exempt Site C from scrutiny by the B.C. Utilities Commission could allow the project to become a multi-billion-dollar boondoggle. But B.C. Hydro said that despite the higher cost, the price of electricity the dam would produce would make Site C among the most cost-effective options available to meet B.C.’s future
electricity needs, and could operate for 100 years. The dam would also flood hundreds of hectares of land and is opposed by several First Nations and other residents of the Peace River region. Hydro said it’s submitted a project description report to federal and provincial environmental assessment agencies, and once the report is accepted the formal assessment will begin.

The New Odds playing 2011 Discovery Coast Music Festival If you watched the Vancouver Canucks home opener against the San Jose Sharks earlier this month, you caught a glimpse of The New Odds playing, and playing around, for the crowd. In 1987, four highly individual Vancouver musicians put together a guitarbased, power-pop strike force to write catchy melodic songs built on crunchy rock guitars, full-voiced harmonies,
and walloping drums. Known then as The Odds, original members Doug Elliott, Craig Northey, Steven Drake, and Paul Brennan worked the bar circuit and honed their sound. Back when music videos were big, their tongue-in-cheek shoots included an outer space-themed storyline for "I Would Be Your Man" and drag outfits for "Heterosexual Man,"

CCRD Board receives Premier’s Gold Medal Award certificate to local taxpayers. Think of this pile not as an eyesore but rather a $4 million investment in Hagensborg’s future! The directors want to formally thank Mrs. Marilyn Robinson for generously allowing us to construct this gravel mound on her property. The directors expressed full support for a motion passed by the Association of Vancouver Island Coastal Communities (of which the CCRD is a member) asking local health authorities to relax BY KEVIN O’NEILL The regular monthly meeting of the Central Coast Regional District was held on May 12. Beginning on a positive note, the Board was presented with a Premier’s Gold Medal Award certificate. Together with the Cariboo Regional District and the Ministry of Transportation and Highways, this award was presented in recognition of the exceptional effort that resulted in the rapid repairs to sections of Highway 20 damaged by September’s flooding. This certificate will always serve as a reminder of the tireless efforts of the entire CCRD staff, Board of Directors and Emergency Program Coordinator Steve Waugh! To me it will also recall how completely this community came together after September
25, with volunteers, friends and neighbors reaching out to help those of us most affected by the flood. On to another positive topic, I am happy to announce that the CCRD has successfully completed the purchase of the office building within which it currently rents space. Funds for this acquisition were received from the Community Works Fund, leaving taxpayers no mortgage burden. And even allowing for maintenance, taxes and other expenses, operational office costs to you will be reduced from current levels. This purchase realizes a primary goal of mine; to acquire a permanent home for our local government! Much of this month’s meeting was again taken up with flood-related and other emergency issues.

related to the cooler spring weather and persistent snow pack. Similar to actions taken by other BC communities, the CCRD will issue a public advisory warning of potential risks to low-lying properties from a possible large volume late runoff. A delegation of Hagensborg residents joined the meeting, presenting a letter and petition to the directors. The board was asked to expedite repairs to the existing upper Hagensborg dike damaged by September’s floodwaters. Additionally, the board was asked to explore all options to “close the gap” in the Hagensborg dike in order to better protect homes and businesses.
The directors will shortly present possible options for “closing the gap” to area residents for consideration. The directors reaffirmed their commitment to addressing concerns regarding both the Hagensborg area as well as the airport. Responding to comments about the “gravel mountain” accumulated from stream bedload removal over the past several months that has now become a fixture of the Hagensborg landscape, which I would like to point out is suitable for a dike base. It will be utilized to form a major part of the CCRD’s contribution toward any future dike construction, thereby significantly reducing costs
in the central and northern regions as low as possible to support our area’s tourism industry, the CCRD will lobby Victoria to ask that funding subsidies to BC Ferries be increased. Finally, the board noted that repairs to Centennial Pool will commence shortly with completion expected by May 30. We have every reason to believe that this year’s efforts will be successful and allow for a full season of pool operations!

New song, dance to be unveiled at Acwsalcta Potlatch May 26 Talented young artist and former Acwsalcta student Latham Mack will be adding a special touch to Acwsalcta School’s Potlatch today when he unveils new song and dance. Mack’s work has been on display at Vancouver International Airport for the past year. His Thunder mask and blanket will now be returned to him and new pieces will take their place. Mack plans to dance both the Thunder mask and blanket and his new pieces, an Eagle mask and blanket, which will go on display at YVR following the potlatch. “This is going to be a new dance. I had a dream about this dance, mask, and blanket, and I got Clyde Tallio to compose a song for me as well,” said Mack. “Once I heard about the play potlatch the students are hosting at the
Acwsalcta School, I thought it would be a good idea to unveil my Eagle mask and Eagle blanket at the play potlatch.” Mack credits the community of Bella Coola and the supportive nature of Acwsalcta School for encouraging him to pursue his career as an artist. “After all, I got a lot of my inspiration from attending the Acwsalcta School,” he explains. “Growing up in the environment of this school has really allowed me to pursue my career as an Artist, and I am honoured to dance for the students.” Mack will also be dancing the Eagle mask and blanket at a later date in Vancouver at the YVR Art foundation Scholarship reception. The Acwsalcta Potlatch starts Thursday, May 26 at 10 am. All community members are invited to attend.
