Thorsen Creek is under a barrage of heavy equipment as crews work continuously to keep it under control
Heavy rain delivers high water and prompts more evacuations BY CAITLIN THOMPSON Just three weeks after the Bella Coola Valley experienced its worst flood on record, heavy rain on Tuesday, October 19 forced evacuation orders on Grant Road, the south side of Saloompt and the north end of Nusatsum Road. The rainfall prompted the B.C. River Forecast Centre to issue an initial Flood Warning advisory for the Bella Coola River and its tributaries. Thorsen Creek was a dramatic scene late Tuesday as crews scrambled to hold the water back when a dike broke and water began to flow both east and west.
Heavy equipment brought into to rebuild the highway is now being used to fight flooding. It was a tense 24 hours as crews utilized all the resources available to them to patch the Thorsen Creek dike and halt the flooding. “We had four excavators, three of them quite large, and up to five rock trucks hauling large blasted rock up to the site,” said CCRD Emergency Program Coordinator Stephen Waugh. “We had lights set up and worked through the night to repair the dike.” When the first dike broke at Thorsen there was another to hold the water back. However,
this still resulted in the evacuation of twelve homes as the water began to travel upstream and threaten homes. “We are in an extremely compromised position now because of last months’ flood,” said Waugh. “The sediment and debris have put a lot of additional pressure on the river systems and as a result we are still on edge.” The large amount of bedload left in the rivers as a result of last months’ flood is a constant challenge to managing the response, especially if there is added precipitation. Any significant rainfall will push the creeks and streams to bankfull quite quickly as they are already near capacity.
“We held the dikes at Thorsen, rebuilt them overnight, and protected two homes that were immediately threatened,” said Waugh. “When the rain abated, we were able to get the upper hand. We took full advantage of it in order to be prepared for the next one.” Residents are certainly growing weary of the weather and the conditions that follow. Many people are still cleaning up homes and businesses from last months’ flood and are not happy with the idea of facing more setbacks. Most of the twelve homes on Grant Street that were evacuated had been damaged by
September’s flood. The O’Neill’s had just thrown away the last of their flood-ruined possessions a few days earlier. “We were told to evacuate again yesterday,” Susan O’Neill said. “I’m terrified that my home of more than 30 years is going to end up in the flood path of the Bella Coola River and Thorsen Creek. And I’m terrified for my neighbours and my community, that it’s going to fall apart because no one cared enough to listen to people who live here.” The O’Neill’s concerns are not unique. “When we first got hit three weeks ago it was a big surprise and it was the flood of the SEE RESIDENTS ON PAGE 3

My name is Alison Krahn and I am a master’s student in education at the University of British Columbia. I am here in Bella Coola for my research project, which is designed to gain a better understanding of the educational experiences and goals of young mothers living in the Bella Coola community. My intention is to explore the factors that young mothers identify as being valuable towards enhancing educational engagement and achievement in their community. I am seeking to hold interviews with women who have had at least one child during their teenage years. I am hoping to speak with women who have completed their high school education and other training, as well as with women who have not yet completed their secondary schooling. I hope to facilitate a genuine dialogue through these interviews to hear what you have to say about your experiences, interests, goals and needs within the context of education. **Every precaution has been taken to maintain confidentiality and to protect your identity **

century,” said Waugh. “So people were shocked initially and then I think they were a little depressed, and I think that has turned to anger for some of them, thinking that perhaps we had better do more earlier.” Doing more is something many people are eager to hear about, but details of the plans for ongoing work are still being finalized. Short-term plans include shoring up the dikes at Thorsen Creek and other tributaries immediately to let the pressure off. Waugh is hopeful that the longterm plan includes the construction of new dikes. “In addition to of all of the repair work on the dikes, there is a large gap behind Hagensborg that we are hoping will be remedied with gravel from this ongoing work,” he said. “There are a lot of residents and infrastructure there that also need protection.” However, new dikes mean a level of involvement beyond local control. The CCRD is not responsible for diking, and several agencies from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to the Ministry of Environment have to work in conjunction with local organizations to complete such a project. “We need approval from all
sorts of agencies,” said Waugh. “But we are getting good cooperation at all levels.” NDP MLA Gary Coons, said that over the last ten years, lack of government funding and coordination has prevented much-needed flood mitigation in the valley. Coons remains concerned that the heavy equipment will depart before the threat is over and the Valley will be left in a vulnerable position once more. “People are really resilient and will bounce back, but there’s always been fear of flooding,” Mr. Coons said. “I think throughout the valley and myself, our goal is to ensure the heavy equipment stays behind to minimize
the impact of future flooding.” People’s thoughts are now turning to what the future holds for their community. “People need to know that they should be ready for anything because we’re not out of this yet,” said Waugh. “But we are going to come out of it better off than we were.” As of press time, all evacuation orders were lifted and residents were allowed to return home. Temperatures were expected to cool down and the Emergency Operations Centre in the CCRD office remains open from 8:30am to 4:30pm daily. Residents can call 250 982 0062 for more information..

Bella Coola Valley Sustainable Agricultural Society asks Minister for assistance Dear Minister Steve Thomson: (Minister of Agriculture and Lands) CC: Caitlin Thompson, Editor, Coast Mountain News As you know, the majority of the Bella Coola Valley suffered serious flood damage during the recent September storm event. Many homes were badly damaged and Valley infrastructure, including roads, bridges and communications systems, seriously impacted. While the Valley has appreciated the provincial emergency support delivered through Emergency Management BC, there is one critical group that is falling through the cracks – and that is the Valley’s farmers. Many farmers in the Valley have lost winter hay crops, livestock and farm infrastructure that they have no hope of replacing without some assistance. In some cases, significant farmland has simply ‘disappeared’ while other fields have been deeply scarred by erosion channels and/or covered in layers of gravel and sediment. While, along with their nonfarm neighbours, there will be some who will be able to qualify for compensation for damage to their residences under the Disaster Financial Assistance, this will do very little to address their agricultural damage and losses. With virtually no resources or capacity to help rebuild this
critical segment of our community, we are urgently asking you, Minister Thomson, for your personal assistance. Bella Coola Valley has a long and proud history of food production and, with its excellent climate and good soils, has the capability and suitability to grow a very wide range of crops. Unlike many other regions of the province, our food producing sector is very small scale, highly diversified and, almost without exception, part-time. Nonetheless, farming plays an important role in providing both healthy sources of local food and sustainable livelihoods for many people in the Valley. Over the past several years, the Bella Coola Valley Sustainable Agricultural Society (BCVSAS) has been working with local food producers and other partners to support, promote and encourage a sustainable community food system that embraces scales of endeavour from household food production to extended network food production (sharing/opportunistic selling of surplus) to market-oriented agriculture. Through much volunteer effort, the involvement of many stakeholders and modest supportive funding through various programs, we have made substantial progress towards our integrated “land to plate” Vision. Some examples include: BCVSAS Foodshed Analysis
(2007-2010), including climate and mapping of soils, land capability for agriculture and crop suitability; currently working on land availability for agriculture (including competing use constraints) on our way towards a strategic Foodshed Development Action Plan. (This work has been financially supported by Investment Agriculture Foundation, Real Estate Foundation of BC and Central Coast Regional District.) Food Action Plan (2006) Implementation Project, which focuses on increasing family, community and regional food security, improving access to fresh fruits and vegetables and encouraging healthy lifestyles. (This initiative has been funded through ActNow BC, Ministry of Health Services.) In January 2010, the Bella Coola Valley was selected as one of four pilot project communities for the Provincial “Produce Availability in Remote Communities Initiative”. Hosted by BCVSAS and working through a diverse local steering team that includes Society members, farmers, retailers and community leaders, as of the 2010 growing season, a Community-Supported Agriculture ‘pay-for-service’ regional food box program has been initiated. (This project is financially supported by Ministry of Healthy Living and Sport.)

On behalf of and with the active participation of local meat producers, BCVSAS was successful in having the Bella Coola Valley designated as one of three Provincial Meat Inspection Regulation areas eligible for Class D (direct sales) and Class E (retail sales) licences. Mere days before the flooding, many of our local meat producers took advantage of the training opportunity to comply with the regulatory requirements for these licences. (This work was financially supported by Ministry of Healthy Living and Sport.) Minister Thomson, in addition to plight of individual food producers, all of these initiatives have been seriously compromised by the impacts of the recent flooding event and, as a result, we risk losing all of the progress we have made. Our Valley has a strong sense of community, and dozens of volunteers are working closely with local and provincial agencies and non-government organizations through an Emergency Operations Centre, a Resilience Centre and a Recovery Committee. But, we have no capacity and there are currently no appropriate provincial assistance programs to address our agricultural damages and losses. Our local farmers need immediate financial assistance to enable them to repair their barns and fields, buy replacement hay for their livestock, replace lost livestock and otherwise enable them to resume their all-important role of producing food - upon which the success of so many of the above community (and provincial) initiatives depends. As above needs are met, we

Visitors impressed with Bella Coola community efforts during flood Dear Editor,

also believe there is an important policy issue that needs to be addressed and that is the criteria for current disaster relief funding and compensation programs. While current criteria may serve the needs of large scale, full time agricultural operations, they do not reflect the reality – or the importance of – food producers in remote, isolated, small communities such as the Bella Coola Valley, where farming seldom comprises the dominant source of income and where economies of scale usually preclude the feasibility of purchasing insurance for crop/livestock loss and/or land/infrastructure damage. We know that our situation will require some creative, coordinated problem-solving and that is why we are asking you, as Minister of Agriculture and Lands, perhaps jointly with your Cabinet colleagues whose ministries have already invested in our programs thus far, to help find those solutions – and quickly. Should any of your staff or those of other ministries wish to contact us for further information or to discuss some possible avenues of action, please call Dayna Chapman, Bella Coola Valley Food Action Plan coordinator, Bella Coola Valley Sustainable Agricultural Society community liaison and volunteer member of CCRD Flood Recovery Committee at 250-799-5199. We look forward to – and thank you for – an early and positive response.
As yearly visitors to your community we were there to experience first hand the rainstorm/ flooding of September 24-25, 2010. We also come from a smaller community and to date have not had any ‘major events’ so this was an eye opener. Your community showed great compassion with friends and neighbours stepping up to the
plate to help each other and it inspires us to say that your entire valley is ‘filled with hero's.’ You set a great example of also taking care of the various travelers who were stranded, our selves included. Thank you for your kindness. Sincerely, Jennie Hopkins Black and Jack Black Gabriola Island, B.C.

Local and outside groups continue to provide aid
The Salvation Army has been delivering hot meals to flood victims Step inside the Seventh Day Adventist School gym and you will be amongst just a fraction of the goods that have poured into the community since last months’ flood. “On top of all the local donations, we received a huge shipment of clothing and household goods from the United Church in Bella Bella,” said volunteer
Sarah Matthews. Piles of clothing, shoes, and household items take up the entire gym floor. The United Church has been doing much of the same and the Salvation Army has brought in their ‘Crisis Response Team’ who are now delivering three meals a day from their bus to those directly affected by the
flood. The team has deployed their mobile kitchen unit to the Augsburg Church and are preparing meals for anyone and everyone who requires or desires food services support during their difficult time. These are also being delivered as far east as Firvale and to Grant Road where the most
affected people are located. They are also providing emotional and spiritual support as needed. Immediate relief was also delivered by the Mormon Church, who brought in a planeload of food, baby supplies, and cleaning materials just days after the event. The Seventh Day Adventist Church has also been distributing cleaning kits, a welcome site to many homeowners. The Community Resilience Centre continues to be the hub of most volunteer efforts and staff there is doing their best to meet the needs of affected residents under the direction of the Red Cross. However, the Centre plans to close October 24 and after that the Bella Coola Community Recovery Committee, chaired by Colleen Fraser, is poised to take the steering role in providing resource allocation
The Seventh Day Adventist school gym is full of donated goods

has completed an onsite assessment and is recommending to its leadership that a team of four to five reconstruction specialists be deployed into the community to assist individuals with cleanup, teardown and reconstruction activities. “These are just the current services that
have been arranged by the CCRD EOC to assist the community with recovery efforts,” said CCRD Emergency Program Coordinator Stephen Waugh. “Of course, there are also dozens of local individuals helping each other on the ground and I couldn't even begin to identify them individually.”

Highway 20 now open 24 hours as work continues It’s now open regularly and things are moving along quickly as crews continue to work on Highway 20. The basic work has now been done to make the highway passable, but the job is far from over. There are still single lanes on many places along the route. "Although we have the road open, there is more work to be done on the Highway 20 route to restore it to the pre-flood condition," said Transportation and Infratstructure Minister Shirley Bond. "I anticipate we will have equipment in the area working for some time to come." The Hill has been cleared of rockfall and
the bridge approach to Young Creek has been repaired to make the route passable. More work will be undertaken over the next week to bolster the remedial work already done. At Mosher Creek the bridge crossing has been restored and the creek reestablished into its channel. The Sandhill still remains the biggest task but major progress has been made. Subgrade construction is nearing completion while gravelling and additional armouring of the embankment will occur over the next week. The Bailey Bridge over Salmoopt has been repaired but
more rip rap is required after the southern end fill was compromised with last weeks rain. General repairs continue to take place in Firvale and Hagensborg and engineering is being conducted over Nookliklonnik, Snootli and Thorsen Creeks to ensure the bridges remain passable. An alternate route has been established for residents on Hammer Road to ensure they can get home. Repairs there are ongoing. “I have spent a lot of time in this region lately and I can say that the residents are extremely grateful for the hard work of these highway
crews,” said CaribooChilcotin MLA Donna Barnett. “And I commend all those residents for their continued positive attitudes and willingness to help others that were affected.” If you are planning a trip out of the Valley it is recommended that you check the Drive BC websites for updates at www. drivebc.ca. Hwy 20 travellers are reminded to anticipate delays at the McClinchy Creek detour in the Chilcotin, two kilometres west of Tatla Lake, and be prepared for winter driving conditions. All other roads in the Bella Coola Valley are now open.

Local police workshops a success, says British Columbia Civil Liberties Association How well are the RCMP doing in Bella Coola and Anahim Lake? That’s the question the B.C. Civil Liberties Association asked at workshops held in the two communities in August. Between the two workshops, more than 70 people showed up to provide feedback, some good, some bad and some indifferent. The workshops also provided basic information on legal rights when dealing with the police. “A lot of people don’t know that the RCMP is paid by the province under contract to police B.C., and that contract is up for renewal for 20 more years of RCMP policing,” said David Eby, Executive Director of the BCCLA and facilitator of the discussion and education workshops. “When people find out that B.C. is buying police services
from the RCMP, they often have lots of thoughts about how the RCMP can improve service.” The workshop in Anahim Lake hosted more than 20 people. Topics discussed included positive initiatives, like a new constable who is offering martial arts lessons to the kids out front of the local detachment, to more concerning issues like frequent road blocks in the community and a radical change in policing around rodeo time. “We had such a great meeting in Anahim Lake,” said Eby. “The people were so friendly and welcoming, and though there were many concerns about the RCMP and some issues that need to be resolved, they were pretty clear that they wanted the RCMP to be involved in community events and to reach out. I’m
sure the force will be receptive to that message.” The workshop in Bella Coola had more than 50 participants, and in addition to serious conversation about policing issues, included some delicious cake brought in by a community member. “We felt very welcomed in Bella Coola, and it was our largest workshop on the tour,” said Eby. “The community is quite beautiful, and the policing issues – while serious – can certainly be addressed.” There were many shared concerns about police stops and searches of individuals whether in town or on the water, and police interactions with youth. These issues are not unique to Bella Coola, and many of them relate to core accountability concerns that we heard
about in many different communities. People need an independent investigative agency they can complain to, other than the existing system of the police investigating themselves. The BCCLA’s findings will be compiled in a report that will be available on their website by the end of September at www.bccla.org . The report will be e-mailed or physically mailed to everyone who attended the workshop and signed up to receive a copy. To sign up to get a copy if you haven’t already, send an e-mail to info@bccla.org. Copies of the report will also be sent to the RCMP, the Solicitor General of British Columbia who is in charge of policing, and the Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP.
Small business owners encouraged to keep applying for DFA BY CAITLIN THOMPSON Many small businesses in Bella Coola are still uncertain about their position when it comes to collecting Disaster Financial Assistance. Strict rules apply to the distribution of DFA, and many businesses are still discovering exactly how those rules apply to their case. Johanna Morrow, Manager, Recovery and Funding Programs, is encouraging small business owners to apply because they might be able to provide assistance in some areas. The deadline to submit applications for DFA is December 27, 2010. Kathy Moore of Moore’s Organic Market was told she probably wouldn’t qualify and it seems that may be the case for many others as the Provincial Emergency Program sorts out the details regarding its assistance for the area. However, upon further research, Moore discovered she would be covered. “It is important to apply for Disaster Financial Assistance even if you have been told you probably don't qualify,” she said. “If you know of someone who hasn't applied - encourage them to do it now. If you are refused in the future
there is an appeal process available and it is necessary to document those who have been affected.” The government agency requested that the Insurance Bureau of Canada check with three different insurance companies that have significant experience in commercial underwriting and have some experience with commercial risks in Bella Coola. These companies indicated that overland flood insurance is generally available for small businesses in the Bella Coola area. While they do not have a blanket restriction on the area, the risks are assessed on a caseby-case basis and insurance companies may not offer flood insurance to a small business when the risk is high enough. “A key requirement for eligibility for Disaster Financial Assistance for small businesses is that the damage was not insurable,” said Morrow. “In the majority of communities in BC flood insurance is reasonably and readily available for small businesses.” One of the problems for a small business owner in Bella Coola is that their business may only be a part of their income and may not turn the profits necessary to justify the high premiums
and high deductibles that come with private flood insurance. However, the government maintains that this is a personal business decision and it feels that covering businesses that opted not to purchase the insurance is simply unfair. “What any business can afford is subjective and specific to that business,” said Morrow. “What is important is that the price of insurance was reasonable considering the risk.” At present, the agency is asking that
$
all businesses send a letter from their insurance company stating that insurance was not available for overland flooding and the reason it was not available. It is only if this letter is received and considered valid that the agency will consider the small business eligible for DFA. “Because flood insurance is available, and we know of several businesses that have flood insurance, we cannot automatically accept that all DFA applicants could not get flood insur-
ance,” said Morrow. NDP MLA Gary Coons is hoping the government will take a different direction in Bella Coola and take into perspective the unique situation facing small businesses here. “I am hopeful that the Minister will, with careful thought and an unique lens, have staff review applications that come through the DFA to ensure residents impacted by this disaster are able to cope with the cost of repairs and recovery,” said Coons.

After a prolonged fire season shutdown, the Bella Coola Community Forest was back at work in September only to be shut down again by the devastating flood event that affected so much of the Bella Coola Valley. As feared, most of the tributary side valleys were also severely impacted by the September deluge. Hardest hit was the Nusatsum valley where most of the bridges on the West Forest Road were either washed out or made impassable. The awesome scale of the event was particularly evident at the five kilometre bridge site where both approaches were completely washed away. This bridge was previously thought to be indestructible due to its high clearance but clearly this was no challenge as large boulders were actually lifted up and left on top of the bridge deck. In addition to the many washouts along this forest road, the 13 km bridge is now impassable and the 15 km bridge was dislodged and washed downstream about 20 m. The bridges along the Cacoohtin forest road fared better than those in the Nusatsum; however, the initial 500 m stretch on the fan now resembles a dry creek bed as opposed to a smooth road. The main bridge over
the Bella Coola River on the Talchacko forest road survived the onslaught but many of the smaller bridges are now unusable. Similarly, the approach leading to the Noomst bridge washed away cutting off access to the west side. The Forest Service has since made some temporary repairs so that a herd of ranging cattle could return home for winter. The devastation around the main bridge at Noosgulch was reported in the previous issue of the Coast Mountain News but surprisingly, the Saloompt and Clayton Falls drainages were relatively unaffected. Although all these forest road washouts may not be as critical as the road impacts in the main valley, they are still important for long-term recovery. Access to some of the best recreation sites depends on an open forest road network, thus restoration will be important for the local tourism industry. Obviously, the Community Forest depends on all the affected forest roads and without access to the timberland base, the business is in jeopardy as it does not have the financial resources to deal with the magnitude of the destruction. However, the mainline access roads are Forest Service Roads and so the Ministry
of Forests and Range is responsible to address these types of severe events and they are working to acquire emergency relief funding to restore access. In terms of impacts to current operations, the Community Forest was very fortunate. Logging was completed in the cutblocks along the West Nusatsum forest road and we were working in a block located at the end of the East Nusatsum forest road which experienced relatively minor damage. Access has now been restored and we will be working to complete this year’s logging before winter snow sets in. We are also pleased to report that there were no washouts, slides or creek problems in the cutblocks logged by the Community Forest. Unfortunately, access to the completed cutblocks has been cut off thus eliminating the opportunity for people to get firewood from these areas. This is especially concerning now given the many people that lost their firewood caches during the flood. However, the Community Forest is helping to organize emergency relief delivery of dry firewood from ‘up top’ on the Chilcotin. People in need of firewood should register with the Resilience Centre.

Many small farms ineligible for Disaster Financial Assistance
The Mecham’s lost almost 40 acres of land up in Firvale
BY CAITLIN THOMPSON Local farmers are feeling the sting from government as they continue with clean up efforts knowing that their years of hard work will never be compensated. Much like those in the small business category, most small farmers do not derive a majority of their income from their farm and chose not to purchase private flood insurance because of the extremely high premiums. This has left them in a very undesirable position. “The cost of insuring a cow and buying a cow is very comparable,” said Dayna Chapman of the Bella Coola Agriculture Society. “Most farmers don’t make enough money to justify the cost of insurance.” Many farmers lost hay, livestock, equipment, and even acreage. Keith Mecham, whose property sits on the south side of Highway 20 in Firvale directly across from his father Floyd, lost a massive chunk of land to the river. “In one night the Bella Coola took away nearly 40 acres of land,” said Floyd Mecham. “My son’s house is now very exposed to the river and it’s in danger now.” In addition to washing away an enormous amount
of land, the river left a foot of silt in some areas while stripping the soil down to bedrock in others. Like many others, Mecham now remains wary of any approaching storm. “The ground is still so saturated with water there is no room for any more rain,” said Mecham. “There is nowhere for it to go.” Mecham’s neighbour Pegge Stewart echoes his concerns. “My biggest fear now is the weather. The creeks haven’t even had a chance to carve a new channel yet and the bedload is enormous,” she said. “It’s pretty alarming.” The Stewarts, who maintain their Farm Status with hay and pasturing, lost tons of hay and sustained damage to their equipment and property. “Most people who qualify for Farm Status don’t make their living from it anymore,” said Stewart. “If there was some other sort of assistance available for small farmers that would be great, but we are not holding our breath.” The river ripped out their fencing and drowned the cattle they had pastured, and with grizzlies now roaming for the carcasses, the Stewart’s haven’t even had a chance to survey all the damage. “We haven’t even be able to check the perimeter fence
because there are so many grizzlies back there,” said Stewart. “We have simply avoided that area entirely.” Alison and Greg Sayers of Firvale also suffered tremendous losses to their farm and damage to their home, which they still cannot live in. “I have received a letter from my insurance company stating that we could not have purchased flood insurance,” said Sayers. “But we will still not qualify for any assistance from the province.” Sayers lost almost all her sheep, half her laying hens, and sustained major damage to her farm equipment and outbuildings. “We’re going to have to start all over
$
in a lot of places,” said Sayers. “I don’t know of anyone who farms here and it’s their main source of income.” The unique makeup of the Valley means that many people make their livings working several different occupations. North Coast MLA Gary Coons says it’s precisely this reason that the province needs to be more accommodating in how it delivers DFA. Recently, the new BC Meat Regulations acknowledged that Haida Gwaii, Powell River and Bella Coola were geographical unique and special compared to the rest of the province. Amendments to the legislation allowed livestock producers in rural and remote areas that are without reasonable access to licensed slaughter capacity to slaughter their animals and sell the meat directly to local consumers. “It is obvious to many that the legislation regarding DFA needs flexibility to ensure people that need help get the help they need, as was done with the wisdom of recognizing the shortcomings in the new Meat Regulations,” said Coons. “Hopefully the Minister can agree with this analysis.”

Heiltsuk woman receives Order of British Columbia

Pauline Hilistis Waterfall receives the Order of British Columbia from LieutenantGovernor Steven Point and Premier Gordon Campbell
Pauline Hilistis Waterfall is among fifteen British Columbians who have contributed to the province in extraordinary ways and was awarded the Order of British Columbia on this month, announced last week. “The Order of British Columbia recognizes the excellence and achievements of our citizens. It is the highest honour we can bestow on individuals in our province,” said LieutenantGovernor Steven Point, Chancellor of the Order. “The Order of British Columbia rec-
ognizes the remarkable accomplishments achieved by extraordinary British Columbians,” said Premier Gordon Campbell. “This year’s recipients have made exceptional contributions to their communities and to the province. On behalf of all British Columbians, I’d like to thank each recipient for everything they have done for the province.” Pauline Hilistis Waterfall is a member of the Heiltsuk Nation, a proud ambassador for her people and advocate of access to education for all First Nations. For 35 years, Ms. Waterfall has worked as an educator to establish adult learning opportunities in Bella Bella. This has resulted in Waglisla Adult Learning Centre, which offers adult upgrading, and Heiltsuk College, which offers post secondary courses. These two centres have taught four generations. Over 600 Heiltsuk students have transitioned to public post secondary institutions and employment training initiatives. Her educational leadership has extended beyond the Bella Bella community to organiza-
$
tions such as the Indigenous Adult and Higher Learning Association, for which she served as board chair. Ms. Waterfall is also known as a “keeper of the knowledge” in her community documenting Heiltsuk history and customs, written articles, gathered knowledge on traditional foods and medicines, and is frequently called upon as an orator in cultural ceremonies and events. As a biologist educator, she participated with other First Nations knowledge keepers to complete a First Nations biodiversity document, “Staying the Course” to complement the project completed by Biodiversity B.C. She has also played a significant role in revitalizing the Hailhzaqv language and setting up a language trainee program. She has worked in collaboration with various research initiatives that strive for betterment of her people, the global community and the environment. Recipients of the Order of British Columbia are selected by an independent advisory committee from public nominations.

Bella Coola RCMP reminding drivers about B.C.’s new impaired driving laws Our local RCMP Detachment is reminding drivers that they will face tough penalties under B.C.’s new drinking and driving laws. Under the new laws, drivers caught with a blood alcohol level of 0.08 or higher or those who refuse to give a breath sample will get a three-month driving ban, a $500 administrative penalty, and a $250 driver's licence reinstatement fee. They will have their vehicle impounded for 30 days, have to pay for the towing and impoundment costs, pay for the mandatory use of an ignition interlock device for one year and face possible criminal charges. The total cost adds up to almost $4,000, and it can all be triggered during a roadside stop by a police without any immediate criminal charges or time in court. The first conviction for drinking and driving results in a one-year prohibition from driving; subsequent convictions result in longer prohibitions and possible jail time. If you injure or kill another person there is no limit to the fines and you will face up to ten years or more in jail. There's also a new warning range, which drops the legal blood alcohol limit to 0.05.

Those caught over that level for the first time will face an immediate three-day driving ban, $450 in penalties and fees, and three-days of vehicle impoundment. On average, drinking drivers kill two people every week in B.C.
