Flood mitigation work ongoing as emergency response continues BY CAITLIN THOMPSON The response to last months’ flood is not over as imminent threat mitigation work continues on four major streams in the Bella Coola Valley. Thorsen Creek, Snootli Creek, Nooklikonnic Creek and the Nusatsum River are all on the receiving end of heavy machinery as crews work to correct the damage caused by last months’ event. “We are now actively pursing flood repair projects on the downstream portion of four major creeks in the Valley,” said CCRD Emergency Program
Coordinator Stephen Waugh. “We have gained DFO approval to do so under an Emergency Response Measure.” Permits that would normally take months to approve have been fast-tracked due to the unprecedented event Bella Coola residents faced just six weeks ago. Excavators are in the area of many streams removing the enormous amount of bedload and debris that built up during the flood while consultants and road crews continue to size up the challenges. “There is a gigantic amount of sediment and woody debris that has built up in the creeks
and is now creating dams,” said Waugh. “Most people can’t see it but there are rats’ nests of debris plugs in every creek.” It is imperative that these plugs are removed so that the creeks can begin to flow normally again and highway infrastructure is protected. But, as Waugh stressed, the projects are being conducted with the utmost respect for fish habitat. “The fish habitat was completely destroyed in the flood,” he said. “We now have two teams of environmental and hydrotechnical engineers who are making sure the work is done so that the reconstruc-
tion of fish habitat is of utmost importance.” The Department of Fisheries and Oceans is working alongside the other agencies and is happy with the results. “So far there has been really good inter-agency cooperation,” said Joy Hillier, Habitat Section Head for DFO. “We are all working to try and meet all the needs of both fish and the safety of the public.” The Ministry of Transportation’s main contractor, Interior Roads Limited (IRL), has hired two firms to direct them in the environmental reconstruction.
Golder Associates and Triton Environmental Consultants Ltd are on the ground to assist with hydrology concerns and fish habitat. “They are doing an amazing job,” said Waugh. “People can take a measure of comfort in knowing that these concerns are being addressed in a big way.” This work is certainly promising, but there is still a massive amount of upstream mitigation work to be done outside of what is allowed under the Emergency Response. However, this second phase of mitigation SEE CREEK ON PAGE 8

Surviving a POW Camp – Clarence Hall recounts his World War II experience
Clarence Hall spent 296 days in a German POW Camp during World War II BY JENNY HALL American-born Clarence Hall signed up for military duty the day he turned 18 years old, on June 3, 1943. Three months later he was inducted into the 83rd Infantry Division basic training.
There were 120 soldiers in his company and one of the first training exercises involved hand-tohand combat with bayonets attached to their rifles. “We were supposed to side-step the bayonet and grab the rifle and flip the opponent onto the
ground,” said Hall. “Once there we were to bash their head with the butt of the rifle, but being a training exercise, we were supposed to stop about 12 inches from their head.” “Well, my opponent ended up gashing my palm and I did get him down, but when I put the rifle down to his head, I swear the most amazing conviction came over me,” he recounts. “It was the Holy Spirit and I could hear, clear as anything, the words of Jesus: ‘Love your enemies.’ I just knew I wouldn’t be able to kill another human being, even though I knew we had to stop Hitler.” Clarence talked about this conviction to his commanding officer who warned him, “Well Private Hall, you will either kill or be killed.” Clarence stood his ground on the issue and the next day was transferred to the medical corps, to be trained in medical first aid. They were in Normandy, July 8, 1944, when a German Tiger Tank approached the empty, evacuated farmhouse that had been set up as an emergency first aid station. Wounded German and American soldiers were waiting on stretchers to be airlifted across the channel to English hospitals. The tank turned its 88 mm gun on
the aid station and ordered an immediate surrender. Four doctors and 68 soldiers were forced to march four miles to Paris where they boarded a train that took them to Stalag V11-A, a one-square mile prisoner of war camp in Moosburg - the largest in Germany. It was 35 miles northeast of Munich, and Clarence was prisoner # 84279. There were 27,000 prisoners in that camp and Clarence says of the 296 days he was interred there he had only two showers and his clothes were washed with cold water and no soap. But the worst of it was the constant hunger. “It’s the worst torture, being so hungry all the time”, he said. “So hungry you couldn’t even sleep at night, and then at dawn having to get up to do the forced labour.” In the 296 days he was a POW, Clarence had no contact with his family, and with the girl that wrote to him faithfully. All they knew was that he was MIA – missing in action. The soldiers were supposed to receive a 16 square inch box of food supplies a week from the Red Cross, “Of course we only got half that, and had to share it with another prisoner,” he says. “By the end of the war, it was 14 men per box, and it was impossible to divide it up.” Clarence was resourceful. Since he
didn’t smoke and the box contained a pack of cigarettes, he saved his portions and once, while in the city clearing the debris, he traded his stash of cigarettes for three small loaves of bread. “That was the best deal I ever made!” The hunger and constant illnesses within the camp took its toll. “Soldiers were dying daily, stacked in heaps and then dumped into trenches and dug under into the field in back, clearly visible to us all,” he remembers. “So many of my closest friends died and were buried that way.” Clarence ended up coming down with influenza and double pneumonia. He was taken to the prison hospital with a temperature of 105 degrees, and vomiting up even water. He couldn’t keep anything down for six days and was at the point of death. “An American prisoner of war doctor who was treating me told me the powdered quinine was not breaking my fever.” There was nothing more to be done. “But then, more real than talking to you now” Clarence said, “a voice, clear and vivid as anything, said to pray, ask God to heal you.” So Clarence prayed and after he did he says it was with utter astonishment that he was able to take a breath without pain. “So I took a sec-

ond breath, and the third breath I took in a lungful, and no pain. And then my fever broke, and I was hungry again! I saw the doctor pass by and I sat up and waved.” Back from death, Clarence was returned to the chain gang four days later. Then, on April 29th 1945 at ten minutes after one o’clock in the afternoon, two American tanks were driven into the camp – the German guards had to open the gates for them. The tanks were immediately surrounded by hundreds of men. When the news came that they were free, the cheering and the crying from the thousands of POW’s was something Clarence says he will never forget. And neither will he ever forget the food that was served them immediately upon their release from the camp. “The U.S. Red Cross set up dozens of tables of food, with pretty girls behind each to serve us. There was fresh baked bread and cookies and peanut butter and jam. The bread was so fresh it couldn’t even be sliced. The girls had to break off pieces
to give us.” Beside him a British man started weeping when given his bread. “Angel food, Angel food,” he kept saying. That man was 38 years old and he had been in the camp for four years. A few days later, in Southern France, Clarence and 200 other soldiers boarded the ’MOR-MACMOON’-a luxury liner that was sent to take them home to North Carolina. It was a voyage of 11 days and Clarence said they ate the finest food to be found anywhere on earth. Clarence was given honourable discharge from the army in New Orleans, bearing the rank of corporal. He reunited with his family in Mill Run, Pennsylvania, and married the sweetheart, Beatrice, that had written him so faithfully. Clarence will never forget his time in the POW Camp and says he often dreams he is back there. “It really makes you appreciate things so much more. With death constantly in front of you, well, I am so happy to be alive.”

“I Was Just Damn Lucky” - an interview with British Veteran Ron Mayo BY SARA GERMAIN Coast Mountain News recently had the privilege of sitting down with Bella Coola’s oldest veteran - 90 year old Ron Mayo. Coast Mountain News: Could you tell us a little bit about being in the service during World War II? Ron Mayo: I was in the British Army. I was twenty and joined in 1940. At that time the Germans came right over Europe and chased the Allies out of France. I was an artist/designer in a printing factory and all work was done by hand. As soon as the chance came to volunteer I did. When I joined, all we had to fight with was old equipment from the First World War, old rifles and bayonets— it was old stuff they got out of museums! CMN: When you enlisted, did you go straight to the front lines? RM: I was in the infantry for a year and a half just waiting for the Germans to invade us. When they made plans for D-Day they wanted mapmakers and designers. They looked on the list and found my name so I was transferred out of the infantry into the engineering/survey department, which saved my life, I guess. I didn’t want to transfer and leave all my pals behind, but I did. CMN: Tell me about being part of the survey department. RM: We were working with the artillery, traveling around. We landed on the beaches about a week after D-Day, went up through Normandy, up through northern France and into Holland and finally into Germany to finish it. The survey department was about four or five miles from the actual fighting. The surveyors had to make the maps to show the artillery what to fire at. Today you have a GPS, but
back in the day our surveyors had to go up to a high point where they could see the Germans and get their survey lines. There were just about 15 of us in the survey department. CMN: What was it like in Normandy after D-Day? RM: Things had settled down a bit. We were each given 200 French Francs— Liberation Money they called it. But this money didn’t really mean much to anyone. For the next two years cigarettes were the only money that counted. The ration was 50 cigarettes a week but a nonsmoker got four bars of chocolate. Well, I was a non-smoker so I got the chocolate, but I soon changed over to the cigarettes. I would go into a farm and buy a dozen eggs for three cigarettes, after eating powdered eggs those fresh eggs were very good. CMN: Could you tell me what being part of the war was like day to day? RM: When we weren’t drawing up maps we had some free time. We were the draftsmen and worked all night on the maps. During the day I’d just take off and explore the country everywhere. CMN: Did a lot of your friends in the infantry make it out alive? RM: Of the thirty guys I joined up with,
all local guys from where I grew up, I could only find five of them after the war. I found a couple of their graves when I was walking through Normandy. I was just damn lucky. CMN: Can you remember any particularly amusing stories from the war? RM: One of the amusing things we found out after the war ended was about the food. Everything came in cans. We particularly loved the canned pineapple. We found out afterwards that it was too expensive to ship canned pineapples from North America to Europe so they sent barrels of pineapple juice instead. Well, in England you can grow turnips easy as anything, so the factory took the turnips and cubed them, put them in the pineapple cans and poured in the juice. The turnips took up the pineapple juice, so all through the war we were eating pineapple-soaked-turnip! CMN: Was there part of the job that you really didn’t enjoy? RM: Well, you were just a number of course. You never forget that number the whole of your life. My number was given to me on the very first day I joined the army, 5-9-5-7-3-7-6. I never forgot that number! It was impossible to forget it! It was you; it
was nobody else. CMN: Was there a part of your job that you enjoyed? RM: We were all in our early twenties and during the Depression in the 30s there was no work for anyone. When the war came along it was something to do! Being young guys it was an exciting time. Compared to the boys in the infantry it was easy going for us. Worst we had to do was get up and move in the middle of the night or help dig graves for the guys that had died. CMN: Did you have any particularly frightening experiences? RM: When the bombers were attacking us on the south coast of England. They were about a 100 feet up and would dive-bomb you or machine-gun you. You tried to fire back with the ancient old rifles, but they were useless. CMN: What was it like being Europe post-war? RM: It was all upside down. There were no ski hills open or anything like that. Everything was closed down because there was nobody around. I explored the country during that time. A soon as the war finished they shipped me to Antwerp, it was a dirty big city, an awful place to go to, but every spare min-

ute I had, I was up the coast looking at all the birds and animals. I was 26 when I was discharged. CMN: How was it that you came to Canada? RM: Like so many ex-servicemen after the war, we found England so crowded. There was nothing new, so it was a toss up for me: New Zealand, Australia or Canada. Well, Aussie would be too damn hot and I wanted to see the mountains. I saw an advertisement in the local paper about emigrating to Canada. I went there, and two months later I was in the Okanagan. CMN: How did you end up in Bella Coola eventually? RM: I worked on a dairy farm in Oliver for about a month I guess. We’d milk about 55 head of cattle every morning and I got fed up. I heard there was work in the small logging town of Prince George, so I got the bus through Jasper and jumped off. I worked on a ranch east of Prince George. That was in 1957 and I worked there for about 20 years. I started to come down to Bella Coola in 1965 for the steelhead fishing. I loved this valley so much I came here every year.
Ron Mayo on his first day in the British Army - July 1940 - Northern England. Ron was eventually transferred to the engineering/survey department, a move he believes saved his life. I met some friends at the Talchako Lodge and they offered me a cabin. In 1986 I moved down to Stuie and stayed there until I was 80. CMN: The drafting that you and your company did probably saved a lot of lives. It’s very honourable and we’re
very thankful for what you did during the war. RM: When you were in the army you just did what you were told to do. Nobody got to choose what their role was, all you did was do what the army told you to do.

Excerpts from a War Diary - Al Purkiss’ memories as a Canadian Sailor in World War II BY SARA GERMAIN
A frightening Medusa!
Sara Germain photos
Vanessa and Davina Hans made a fine mother-daughter team
On their way to their honeymoon?
Al Purkiss served in the Canadian Navy during World War II on British Navy ships. He visited many places around the world during the war and saw action in the seas of Norway, Russia, the English Channel, and across the Atlantic Ocean. At 87, he is one of the oldest veterans in the Bella Coola Valley. He volunteered to join the Navy on January 18, 1943. His basic training took place in Calgary, and after training his convoy set out for Russia with the British Navy. They were caught in many winter storms in the North Sea, and he recalls that it was difficult to keep warm on the battleship over the dark winter. The Navy often encountered German battleships while in Russian waters. Al
explains how before a major battle, there was complete silence when their Captain spoke over the ship’s loud speakers saying, “Attention ship’s company. We are now about to engage the enemy.” All aboard knew that their battleship would be destroyed with one hit from the main armament of the German boat. Al was on a gun crew. When a missile was raised from the ship’s magazine it needed to be rammed into a loading tray by himself and another man. This was a complicated task, but with practice, was done quickly. After an intense exchange, the German battleship sank, with sixteen hundred sailors on board. Due to rough seas there were no survivors in the darkness. Because of Al’s height, he became
the number-one gun loader, which also required quick reflexes to catch the empty shell cases. This took a major toll on his hearing since sailors were given no ear protection at that time, and each blast was deafening. His ears would ring for hours after a shot. Al recalls one of the harder moments he experienced during a battle in a Norwegian Fjord. “The attack on the German battleship was successful, there were many direct hits with large armor piercing bombs,” he recounts. “Several of our planes were lost in the waters around us and the pilot of one plane, damaged by enemy fire, parachuted into the sea ahead of the task force hoping to be rescued. There was none, as retreat was a priority. It was a sad moment SEE

will be subject to the same level of scrutiny normally required to complete such a project and it many be months before any action is taken. “The CCRD does not have any control over whether or not these projects gain approval although we believe they will be,” said Waugh. “But we have established a working group to maximize our chances of success.” The Bella Coola Valley Critical Infrastructure Flood Protection and Habitat Restoration Working Group – better known as the Flood Protection Task Group – has brought together all agency stakeholders to formulate a plan for the upstream work that satisfies all parties. The intent is to establish a plan that is acceptable to all agencies before it is submitted to the province. The group is hoping this will eliminate some setbacks that may have otherwise been encountered. Early plans indicate that sediment traps will be considered upstream for creeks such as Thorsen, Nookliklonnick, and the possibly Nusatsum River. Snootli Creek’s existing infrastructure with the Hagensborg Water District and the Snootli Hatchery make the situation a little more complicated, but further options are being explored. “Each creek is different and each presents their own challenges,” said Waugh. “But people should know that all of the issues are being addressed.” Conditions permitting, the emergency works project is slated to be complete by December 31.

watching him in the water as we swept by.” In July of 1943 Al boarded the Queen Mary to become part of the gun crew. This was a troop ship with seven thousand American soldiers aboard, and he describes it as, “A huge ship, the only one I was ever on that never rolled in normal seas. It was easy to get lost in its many decks.” Al describes the action stations where he operated guns from: “The action stations were not comfortable in foul weather, the decks were awash in heavy seas and one had to hang on to something in order to keep from getting washed overboard. One mate did, but managed to hang on to a rail until we were able to get him back aboard.” One of the things Al appreciated the most about the war was visiting all of the
new places. In particular, he recalls visiting Southern Ireland where he bicycled around the countryside and enjoyed the good beer. He also recalls visiting the San Diego Zoo, which he loved so much he revisited with his wife Jean forty-two years later. In some of the tougher ports, such as Glasgow and Liverpool, shore leave could be dangerous. Sailors were targeted, so they often traveled in groups. Once ashore in Glasgow, Al and some shipmates were enticed by a group of young girls to stop and talk, which they did. After a short while the sailors were attacked by a group of men with straight razors, slashing both sides of another sailor’s face. Al was saved by his height when he ducked backward when slashed at. Al recalls what it was like in Victoria when the Japanese War ended on August
15, 1945. “I witnessed extreme jubilation around me, with people hugging one another on the streets, climbing lamp poles and commandeering streetcars,” he said. “There was complete chaos everywhere.” To the locals it meant the end of rationing food, gas, liquor, and other restrictions. For them it had been a long five years. Al says he never would have met his wife Jean if he hadn’t missed his draft when he was in Halifax (at which time he had to serve his punishment for being AWOL by spending a few days jail). Al’s friend wished to meet a girl he had been writing to during their leave. They were invited over to her family’s house for dinner and Al met Jean, who was a friend of the family. They were married in 1947, raised a family of four and spent fiftyfive years together until her passing in 2002.
Al Purkiss was a number-one gun loader with the Canadian Navy Al appreciates the fact that the Navy took him to many places around the world that he never would have seen otherwise. He saw all of the provinces of Canada and a good part of the world. It was an experience of a lifetime.
He received at least three medals of honour during his service. One for volunteering for Navy service, one for being part of the British Navy and one for being part of the Mediterranean War. Al makes his home in the Saloompt area of Hagensborg.
