Highway 20 is washed out in several sections - this shot is near Floyd Mecham's field - look closely and you can see the footbridge connected the two chunks of highway.
Bella Coola experiences worst flood on record The Valley is under siege this week as flood waters wreaked havoc from the top of the hill to the townsite. Hardest hit were Hagensborg, Grant Road North, Walker Island, Saloompt and Firvale. The storm saw the Bella Coola rise a reported 14 feet to reach an all time high. Stephen Waugh, Central Coast Regional District Emergency Program Coordinator, said 204 millimetres of rain fell between Friday night and Saturday afternoon alone. “It was shocking, absolutely shocking how much water has come down here in such
a short period of time,� said Waugh. He flew over the area Sunday to do an assessment and said the damage was staggering. "It's a huge event. It's going to go on for a long, long time." The airstrip was awash in water while slides closed have closed the hill indefinitely. Preliminary estimates are for months before the only route into the Valley will re-open. Creeks up top turned into raging rivers, taking out bridges and rendering much of the road impassable between Anahim Lake and Heckman Pass. Damage to Highway 20 is
phenomenal. Aerial pictures show sections of highway completely destroyed with sections absolutely impassable all the way from McClinchey River to the airport. Crews are still surveying the damage The provincial government has declared the area a disaster zone and therefore Bella Coola residents are now eligible for assistance under the Disaster Financial Assistance Program. As of Tuesday morning, September 28, people were being asked to conserve fuel as Clayton Falls hydro facility was damaged and the entire system
was running on diesel with limited fuel supply. People were also being asked to avoid the hospital and clinic unless it was imminent that they see a doctor as many staff were unable to get to work. The Central Coast Regional District has opened its Emergency Operations Centre in their Bella Coola administration office and is currently available for information from 7am to 9pm daily. The public information number is (250) 982-0062. No injuries or serious issues have been reported to date.
Evacuations were carried out from the Dean River up to Firvale with boats ferrying residents out of Grant Road North and Walker Island while helicopters picked people up from the Dean River, Hammer Road, and Anahim Lake. Waugh called it "the flood of record," saying it far exceeded the last record flood in 1968. The Bailey Bridge in Saloopmt remains washed out, trapping people in their homes. Waugh did not have exact numbers, but estimated 100 people in the valley were forced to flee SEE FLOOD ON PAGE 3

Invitation to Participate in Research
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 **
If you are interested in participating, or would like more information, please contact Alison Krahn Email: alikrahn@interchange.ubc.ca

their homes. He said hundreds more are trapped and unable to leave their communities as roads and highways are washed out. Hagensborg residents lost their water services Friday evening but surprisingly the power stayed on throughout the Valley. A state of emergency was declared over the weekend and remains in effect. While the extent of the damage remains to be seen, estimates are already reaching millions. Many people suffered extensive damage to their homes and are unsure if they will be able to return even once the waters recede. Clean up efforts are expected to be enormous. Schools were closed Monday morning and while the shops did open, supplies will certainly start getting low this week. Waugh said the local communities were caught completely off-guard. Ferry services have been confirmed to replace freight by truck, but details are still sketchy on what this will look like. Fuel, food and supplies will have to be barged in until the road is repaired. Waugh said the shortterm focus would be shoring up dikes. Once the rain ceases, roads in the area will need to be restored. At that time, he said, officials can turn their attention to assessing conditions and forming a plan to get supplies in and move people out. Waugh advised area residents not to leave their homes for at least 24 hours except for emergencies. As of press time, clearer weather was expected for Wednesday and Thursday, but the situation remains volatile. "Our airport was also out. The dike broke above the airport and the runway was out of service. So we're pretty much cut off … right now," said Waugh.

while putting the bike in between herself and the animal. The following are some tips on the best way to prevent conflicts with cougars. Hike in groups of two or more, and make enough noise to prevent surprising a cougar. Be aware of your surroundings and avoiding hiking or biking with headphones. Carry a sturdy walking stick to be used as a weapon
if necessary. Keep children close-athand and under control and keep an eye out for cougar tracks and signs: cougars will cover or partly cover their kills with vegetation, detritus and soil. Remember that roaming pets are easy prey; best practice is to use a leash when hiking. Place domestic livestock in an enclosed shed or barn at night If you encounter a cougar never
approach it. Always give a cougar an avenue of escape, stay calm, talk to the cougar in a confident voice and look it in the eye. Pick up children off the ground. Never run from a cougar, try and back away slowly as sudden movement or flight may trigger an instinctive attack. Call in all cougar sightings and/ or conflicts to our 24 hour hotline at: 1-877-952-7277
Dear Editor World Teachers’ Day has been held annually on October 5, since 1994 when it was created by the UN Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization. It is a day of celebration for teachers worldwide. Its aim is to mobilise support for teachers and to ensure that the needs of future generations will continue to be met by teachers. On World Teachers’ Day 2010, hundreds of thousands of students, parents and activists around the world will pay homage to all teachers who have been directly or indirectly affected by a major crisis. Be it a humanitarian crisis, such as the earthquakes in Haiti and China, or the global economic crisis that has devastated many developed economies over the past year, the role of teachers and other education personnel is vital to social, economic and intellectual rebuilding. If you believe that working to provide free, quality education to all the children of the world is a worthwhile cause, join teachers and their representative organizations to celebrate the profession, and show them your support! Sincerely, Susan O’Neill President – Central Coast Teachers’ Association

Marjorie June Nygaard June 29, 1924 – May 28, 2010
Marjorie June Nygaard, better known as June Nygaard or Auntie June, passed away quietly on May 28, 2010. Her belief in God was strong and she wouldn’t have wanted her loved ones and friends to grieve. She knew who was waiting for her, and she was ready to move on. June was born in South Vancouver, June 29,1924 to Henry Walter Yeomans and Emma Agnes Boswell
Yeomans. June decided to come to Bella Coola when a friend told her that the hospital had jobs available. It wasn’t long before she got hooked by the Nygaard charm and the twinkle in Wilfred’s eyes. They married and had two children, Robin and Wendy. They were a busy couple. Wilf was the owner of Wilf’s Central Sales, and June worked at the Co-op until she retired. Friends
and relatives often thought she had missed her calling as she would have made an excellent teacher. She passed on her math and reading skills to Robin; they were lifelong skills that stayed with him. She was a bit disappointed that Robin did not have the same money sense that she did, but later she said he had a good point “You can’t take it with ya!” You can’t celebrate June’s life without mentioning her humour and quick wit. She would often explode into laughter that was so contagious it would have tears running down cheeks. And company? She loved it! Usually the minute you walked into the house she went into the kitchen and started whipping up some of her famous, luscious biscuits to serve warm with homemade jam. June had great nursing skills too. When her mom was in Williams Lake, she often went out to care for her. When Wilf was diagnosed with cancer she tended him throughout his losing but courageous
battle. Later, when her daughter, Wendy, also came down with cancer she went to Terrace to care for her. This was an extremely hard time for her as she had lost her son, Robin, in December of 2004. Sadly, Wendy also lost her battle with cancer and died in June of 2006. June’s sorrow was profound. Having lost Wilf, and then later losing two children in such a short time left her heart broken. She felt she never could have possibly made it through her grief if it had not been for her beloved grandchildren. She also drew strength from her many friends and found comfort in her
church and in the knowledge that Wilf, Robin, and Wendy were waiting on the other side. June was a loving wife, mother, a respected member of the community, and a great friend to so many. She was generous, fun, funny, and an active church member who loved to sell the poinsettias and lilies at Christmas and Easter. Marjorie June Nygaard will be sadly missed by her friends and family. But we can all draw comfort in the fact that her fun-loving ways and her wit and wisdom will make heaven an even more joyous place. Our loss is heaven’s gain!

Qwatsinas was very athletic; he loved playing sports and excelled at basketball and track. Later, he also enjoyed coaching basketball for the Nighthawks. He was the first Nuxalkmc to graduate from SAMSS high school in 1969. When he was seventeen he bought his first commercial fishing boat, ‘Edna L,’ it was six feet wide and rocked and rolled. Later in his fishing career, Qwatsinas owned and operated the commercial fishing boat the ‘Comet.’ For the past ten years he has captained the ‘Louise Pearl’ for his sister Louise and her
husband Russ. After graduation, Qwatsinas moved to Vancouver but soon moved back to Bella Coola and the elders told him it was time to work for the people. He knew our Nation never ceded sovereignty and this was embodied in his work for the Nuxalk Administration. He worked as Band Manager, Chief Councilor and Councilor. During this time he helped to build the Nuxalk Hall and Acwsalcta School. His vision was for a sovereign and self sufficient Nation. He met his wife

Sandy at Gail and Cecil’s house and they were married in 1972. They had their son, Jason Edward in 1974 and Megan Felicity in 1977. Eventually they grew apart, but still shared their love for their children. Jason and Megan spent many summers living with their father in Bella Coola. In 1989, Qwatsinas met Evelyn Webber Jr. and they started their family. Tragically they lost their triplets at birth in 1990 but one year later their daughter Katherine Nicole was born and in 1992 Brandon Eli followed. Recently Qwatsinas had just begun a new life with Courtney Kirk and her son. In 1985, Qwatsinas was asked to hold the Walkus Hereditary Chieftainship by his grandmother Felicity Walkus (Stayliwa) at the potlatch of Silas King and Robert Andy Sr. Working under this hereditary chieftainship Qwatsinas stated: “I work with other Nuxalk Chiefs who
pursue Nuxalk Lands and Rights Question. I supply technical assistance on issues such as providing a Nuxalk voice; the story and history of our struggles, and the resistance to the encroachments and infringements that threaten our Indigenous Rights.” Qwatsinas traveled across North America and the world making many allies and friends. In the 1990’s, Qwatsinas and other hereditary chiefs and members of the house of Smayusta took a stand at Ista when Interfor began clearcut logging the sacred Valley of Ista, Nuxalknalus. He was arrested at Ista in 1995, 1996, and 1997. He was a frontline activist who always maintained: “As Nuxalkmc, we have never ceded, treatied, sold or relinquished our connection to our lands and rights. Our Creator through the Great Spirit put us into these lands to care for and protect; as Nuxalkmc, we are committed to do so.” Qwatsinas took the issue of illegal logging and clearcutting in Nuxalk Territory international. He traveled to Europe and especially Germany, working with indigenous rights and environmental organizations. Thanks to his work,
the Nuxalk are known for our protests against the destruction of our forests and natural resources and for asserting our Title and Rights as a sovereign people. Most recently he enjoyed fishing with his children. He built a fish camp in the upper Bella Coola river which he fished annually. One of his greatest pleasures in life was to help provide traditional foods to his family. Throughout his life, his unique sense of humour and crazy antics kept everyone laughing. Sadly on August 2, 2010, Qwatsinas was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. In its final stages, it has spread extensively to his liver. He succumbed to this illness very quickly but was able to return to home to Bella Coola to be with close friends and family during his final days. Qwatsinas requested to be built at Burnt Bridge, Nutl’lhiixw, also known as the ‘Friendly Village.’ Even at his death, Qwatsinas is taking a stand for Nuxalkmc. “The land of the Nuxalk has been lost for a long time, but a rebirth is happening: the Nuxalk are returning home to their traditional lands.” (Qwatsinas – December 1997)
