Community asks hard questions at airport dike referendum meeting CAITLIN THOMPSON The community turned out last week for the CCRD’s information session on the proposed airport dike upgrade project. A referendum is planned for May 25, and the meeting was intended to be an information session as well as an opportunity for questions from the community. The evening began with a presentation by the CCRD, Stephen Waugh of Spiritscape Ventures, and David Matsubara of Kerr Wood Liedal Consulting Engineers on the history, current state, and proposed work on the dike. Built in the late 1970s, the airport dike was chosen as the first project as it represents a sig-
nificant transportation link to the Valley and services all residents. However, Waugh has characterized the dike as ‘failing’ and in need of expansion and repair. The total cost of the project is just under $3,000,000 and would be partially funded by the federal and provincial governments. The CCRD is required to fund one third of the project and would have to borrow $1,150,000, which would result in a debt to taxpayers that would take 30 years to repay. Naturally, there were multiple questions on exactly how all this money would be handled. As the airport services the entire community, every property owner and resident, (excluding the
Nuxalk Nation on IR#1 as they do not pay property taxes) would be eligible to vote on whether or not the CCRD should proceed with the project, and all residents would share the financial burden. However, if there were more projects in the future, such as the Hagensborg gap, the cost would only apply to those living in that area. “The province likes to see a map drawn up around the specific properties a proposed dike would protect,” said Acting CAO Donna Mikkelson. “Unless a strong case could be presented otherwise, it’s likely the province would determine only those in the specified area would have to pay for it.” The airport project would
result in a tax increase of approximately 32 percent, and varies according to the area you reside in. For example, those living in Area E (Townsite) will pay an extra $67 per year, but if you live in Area C (Augsburg Church east to the Hill) or Area D (Augsburg Church west to Tatsquan Creek), your costs will be $153 and $129 respectively. The costs are calculated based upon the average value of your home and how much industry and business are located in your area. This new tax would only be applied to the airport dike project, and does not include the additional 30 percent tax increase the CCRD already passed in their 2013 budget. However, the total
portion of taxes you pay to the regional district is also determined by your electoral area. “I think it is important to note that it is the regional district’s portion of taxes that will increase by 31 percent. That does not mean that everyone’s property tax bill will increase by 31 percent,” said Mikkelson. “For example, I live in Area C, and my assessment value from BCAA stayed the same from last year. If all other taxing authorities on my bill don’t increase their levy, my total tax bill will increase by 14 percent from 2012. This does not including the dike taxes if the referendum passes.” SEE DIKE ON PAGE 3

Project estimated at $2.75 million continued from
Page 1
A cost breakdown was provided that included firm estimates on design, construction, materials, and maintenance. The design portion of the dike has already cost $106,000 and was funded separately. The construction is slated to cost $1.95 million, and engineering and construction management is at $220,00 (with a contingency fund of 30 percent), for a total cost of $2.75 million. There were also questions raised on the process of hiring contractors to complete the work, and how this would be done to ensure fairness. In the proposed project, the CCRD would be the main contractor and manage the project. The CCRD has stated that they would use local contractors, equipment, material, and labour as much as possible. “We have emulated the Ministry of Transportation’s hired equipment policy, and people are invited to register with the CCRD,” said Waugh. “There will be notices advertising this, if the project goes ahead.” There were also questions concerning the rewarding of the Airport Dike Management Project Manager position to Stephen Waugh, as this position was not posted in the community. “At the time, this project was part of Stephen’s former position as Emergency Program Manager,” said Acting CCRD CAO Isabell Hadford. “So, no, it was not posted.” It was not clarified whether or not the position would be posted if the referen-
dum were to pass. One audience member also asked very bluntly whether or not the CCRD could handle a project of such magnitude, to which Hadford emphatically replied, “yes.” The financial contribution from the Nuxalk Nation was also addressed. It is generally understood that any contribution from the Nuxalk Nation would have to come from the federal government, who is already committing a third of the funding for the project. “We did approach the federal government for support and response wasn’t negative or positive, but the federal government is already contributing $1 million,” said Archie Pootlass, Capital Projects Manager with the Nuxalk Nation and Area D Alternate Director. “We feel we need to make a bigger contribution, as our population is 50 percent or more.” However, as one community member pointed out, the federal governments
portion is intended to cover all citizens of the community whether on reserve or off. This leads one to assume that perhaps an additional portion should be expected as part of the federal governments commitment to First Nations residents. When asked this question, Acting CAO Donna Mikkelson agreed that, in her opinion, a case could be made for the federal government to contribute additional monies on behalf of First Nations residents. At present, however, there is no strong indication that they will. There are many other questions that were addressed at the meeting, and the CCRD has posted many of these online at www.ccrd-bc.ca. Advance voting can be done on Wednesday, May 15, 8am – 8pm at the Regional District Office. Regular voting day is Saturday, May 25, 8am – 8pm, at SAMS School.

Coast Mountain News Thursday, May 9, 2013
Let the airport wash away? Dear Editor, Your spouse of 40 years is complaining of a headache, becomes unconscious and at the hospital the doctors tell you it’s a brain aneurysm that needs immediate surgery for survival. Your son is in a car accident abstaining major skull fractures causing too much pressure on his brain and surgery is required immediately. A friend is pregnant with her first child and goes into labour at seven months. Too early, and she needs to get to Vancouver or baby’s chance of survival is slim. These are just a few of the scenarios that have happened here in the Valley, and these situations require immediate care. BC Ambulance Service provides
Medivac jets that land in the Valley and are equipped with trained professionals and all the equipment that they need. They have flown out of this valley 82 times in the last 12 months with your family and friends. Let the airport wash away?! This was a comment from a frustrated meeting member. That statement is not only selfish (as they don’t want to pay additional taxes) but also irresponsible. Yes, there are other areas in the Valley that need attention, but right now the government is willing to pay for two-thirds of the airport project and this money cannot be used anywhere else. You can argue that medical emergencies could use a helicopter to meet the jet in Anahim or bring in the Cormorant,
but West Coast Helicopters are not medically equipped or staffed and the few Cormorants available are often not in the area and their medics are not specialized. Driving to meet a jet in Anahim with a critical patient wastes valuable time (it can take anywhere from 3-5 hours depending on condition) and the rough ride does not consider patient comfort. The airport is a very valuable infrastructure in the valley and must be protected because you need it, your friends need it, and your family needs it. LET IT WASH AWAY-----NO!!!! When you go to vote to protect the airport or not protect the airport, please consider everything that the airport provides. Note to Reader: There were many ele-
ments and concerns that were represented at the meeting concerning the airport dike improvements but this critical aspect was not brought forward. I think that it should be considered when deciding if you should vote yes or no to bill 415. Also, though I may agree in principle with protecting the airport, it does not necessarily mean that I agree or disagree with the plans that have been proposed. Sincerely, Caroline Granander Resident of 23 years, BC Ambulance Service employee, and concerned citizen.
Reader believes 3 million for airport dike a ‘misallocation’ of limited resources Dear Editor, We are a small community with limited resources and a limited tax base. Many of the properties and homes in the valley are threatened
by flooding, and many of them have no protection of any sort. At the informational meeting on April 30th, valley residents were told that two portions of the existing airport dike were
damaged in the 2010 flood. Subsequently the two sections were repaired but these repairs were only “patches” and not up to standards. What would it cost to bring only those two sec-
tions up to standards? The airport is already better protected than a large number of properties in the valley. It seems unfair to ask home owners who are at risk of losing their homes
to take on thirty years of debt to pay for airport protection. Without discussing the provincial government’s unilateral off loading of its responsibilities by “orphaning” the
airport dike and other like structures in the valley, and without discussing the issue of the CCRD’s taking on legal liability by establishing a diking authority, it seems an egregious misal-
location of limited resources to spend over three million dollars to upgrade the airport dike. Robert Gruetter Box 482 Bella Coola

dike upgrade referendum. It is of utmost importance that all taxpayers take the time to make sure that they are familiar with how this referendum will affect them. You can do this by either going to the CCRD office to pick up the information or go to their website. The CCRD wants us to approve a 30-year loan for over a million dollars to upgrade the dike at the airport. This will bring increases in our taxes. The information given at the meeting said that there will be a 30 percent increase in the CCRD portion of our property taxes two years in a row. If the existing dike at the end of the runway is being raised in this project, how does this impact Pacific Coastal and other planes landing? Has
NAV Canada given approval to the raising in height of the dike? Why can’t the armour be replaced where necessary instead of the multi million dollar project? The airport was out for a few days. That, to me, is not worth us being saddled with a huge loan for thirty years. The one benefit that I can see of this project is that it will provide some employment locally. But there are many more areas that need the protection more than the airport. We were told that the governments, both Federal and Provincial, will only approve the airport project. When the Hagensborg gap gives way again, which it will, we (upper Valley residents) won’t have access to the airport with its new dike protection, as we will be stopped by all of
the water breaching all the way down the Valley. We were told if we wanted protection for our areas we (the residents) would be financially responsible for the projects. No help from any of the three governments. So why would anyone vote yes to the referendum when it does nothing to protect most of the Valley from future floods? Our taxpayers are aging and a high percentage of them are on fixed incomes. These future tax increases are too much for them to budget for, as well as many other residents. How do we know if the one million plus is all it is going to cost us over thirty years? I feel like we are leaving a signed blank cheque for the Directors to spend.

The past years have not given us much confidence in our Board of Directors. Directors consistently miss meetings. One Director and one Alternate attended this meeting. Where were the other Directors? Downtown businesses will see a marked increase in their taxes, as there are so few residential taxpayers. So, will we see increased prices to make up for what they will have to pay in future taxes? So please take the time to inform yourselves before you vote on May 25 at SAMS or advance voting at the CCRD office on May 15. This is not a time to be apathetic. Get out and exercise your right to vote. Sincerely, Kathy Nylen Hagensborg

Hagensborg Water District AGM presentation a tough sell Simon Schopman On April 25 about 20 concerned citizens came to the Waterworks and Fire Protection District AGM at the fire hall, mainly to hear a proposal regarding the controversial UV Point of Entry purification systems. To give a brief background, the laws regarding the treatment of surface water for drinking changed and came into effect particularly after the Walkerton Tragedy in May 2000, where nine people died and over 5000 residents were severely ill due to contaminated water. The government requires that Vancouver Coastal Health ensure that all residents who get their water from surface runoff receive treated water. Thousands of cities and towns across Canada use chlorine to treat the water. However, citizens were unanimously opposed to adding chlorine to our water system at a past AGM. The water district came up with a viable solution (the UV P.O.E. system), which pleased both VCH and local residents. This resulted in a pilot project that has been going on for the last year. Seven households out of 210 connections in the district have had the sys-
tem installed, and monitoring has been ongoing. Test results are showing that our untreated water is better than distilled! To be fair, the results are also showing that the treated water is indeed treated. Since more material has been coming down into the watershed than usual, due to recent fires and floods, there have been times where the water is turbid, approximately two to five events per year. This might last for 10-20 years, as new vegetation is grown and the ground recovers. In high turbidity events, the water may have to be turned off, or a boil-water advisory is issued. Water users receive their water from multiple sources, and VCH has imposed limits specifically on multi-source systems, the P.O.E. system resolves those limits. Having a treatment system in every house means that it doesn’t matter where the water comes from, it will be clean by the time it comes out of your tap. However, at the prohibitive cost of over $2000 per unit to install, not to mention the estimated $500 for yearly maintenance on them, this is an expensive (about $500,000 for 200 units plus maintenance) and very difficult proposal to swallow for many residents in this
time of austerity. Ken Dunsworth made the presentation, and this reporter has to commend him on his diplomacy, patience, and understanding, as this was definitely an uncomfortable hour. The water districts aging system has some serious upgrades that need to be mentioned as well. With the system being about 60 years old, within the next five years over 12 kilometres of concreteasbestos water main need to be replaced, at a potential cost of $5 million (the board estimates they can get about 30 percent off by buying and hiring local). Dam and water intake systems also need to be replaced or upgraded at a potential of $3 million. As we all know, costs are only going up per year, and the water district has some serious questions for the community as a whole. Do we wait and get what we need when we need it, or do we buy in bulk now, while prices are still ‘low’? An example was given with regard to the aging fire truck, in five years it will be uninsurable, several years ago the cost of a new fire truck was $300,000, now it’s over $500, 000. Citizens were very concerned on the potential debt legacy this would
leave future generations, not to mention the incredible tax increase that could debilitate the real estate market for decades to come. Indeed it was pointed out that to pay this debt would take 425 years at current funding values. Water usage rates have not increased since the 1980s, yet many residents voiced their concerns with the recent $500 hike in taxes to pay for the proposed P.O.E. system alone. The board stressed the need for citizens to not only give them direction, but also to take up this matter at all levels of government. One can appreciate the difficult position the trustees are in, on one hand being mandated by law to enact these changes, on the other hand knowing full well that their friends, families, and neighbours are unable to afford this now or ever. Trustee Dunsworth stressed repeatedly that the limited pilot project would continue as is, despite other wishes from VCH to “hurry up and install”. Until the water users, who are ultimately responsible for their system, give further direction the board has no choice but to continue with the intent to install the P.O.E. systems at some later date in the
future. The attendees posed many suggestions; do we disband the water district, making every property owner responsible for their own water sourcing? Wells can cost up to $20,000 and have a life span of 10 years. Heavier use shortens the lifespan of wells. Should we take out a loan for the $8 million now while
interest rates are low? Should the board present a 20/30/50 year plan at the next AGM? Do we just wait and see whom, if anyone comes from VCH or the government to slap us on the wrist? The trustees themselves could be liable to personal fines, and likely the government would impose a mandatory chlorination of the system if
no action were taken. At the moment, no further action is going to be done except the continual monitoring of the existing seven systems installed under the pilot project. Attendees were asked to come prepared with questions, suggestions, or solutions to next year’s AGM, and were invited to speak with any trustee before then.

Last July, a community meeting was held at Lobelco Hall to locally initiate the plan.
WHERE is MaPP?
For the purposes of MaPP, the coast from Northern Vancouver Island to Prince Rupert, including Haida Gwaii has been divided into four regions. Our region extends from Penrose Marine Park to Butedale including islands to the west.
WHO is involved?
To date, much work has been done to record high value use areas and impacts from all sectors of interest; forestry, fishing, marine aquaculture, tourism, recreational fishing, public recreation, local government and conservation. Hans Granander, Forestry, Brian Lande, CCRD, and Janice Kyle, Public Recreation have attended several meetings to represent their areas of interest. The planning is still a “draft” so there is still an opportunity for the addition of ideasand questions from local people.
NEXT Meeting?
The completed “draft” will be presented to the Bella Coola Valley in the fall/winter. MaPP respects all sectors of use on the coast and is aware of the impact each sector may bring to our pristine coast. British Columbia could be one of the leaders in the world to show, through proper planning and management, we can protect the environment, respect conservancies and marine protected areas, encourage economic development and promote the communities’ well-being.
Organized by local MaPP Advisory Members. Please come out - the worst thing is that you later say “I didn’t know”
Please call Janice Kyle if you have any questions

Ernest Hall, collaborated to provide a day of entertainment and learning, based on the making of raku pottery. Despite wind and a few rain showers, people were pleased with the opportunity to participate in this unique hands-on experience. After deciding on the type of bisqueware they wanted to experiment with, participants chose the glazes and applied them with a variety of brushes. The pieces looked decidedly uninteresting, but were nevertheless whisked off by the apprentices to the open-air den of the sorcerers. There the three wizards, who each had a furnace (a Raku kiln home-made from a rusty oil drum and fired by a roaring propane torch) tended to the pieces they were charged with transforming. First the pieces were prewarmed on top of the furnaces, then gently placed with longhandled tongs on supports within the soon-to-be inferno. The entry was sealed off and the 1,900 F heat began its magical transformative work. About 20 minutes later, when the glaze had melted sufficiently, the torches were extinguished and the door opened. There inside, glowing incandescently in a variety of golden hues,

Theresa Marie with a finished piece were the transformed bisque-ware pieces Carefully, with the long tongs, they were transferred to a bed of dried leaves, shredded paper, sawdust, and straw, and quickly covered. Smoke from the leaves ignited by the glowing pieces billowed out as the transformation continued, now aided by Mother Nature's provender. After a few minutes the pieces were again revealed, now in their final transformed state. People could then reclaim their bit of sorcery and carry it home to remind them in the future of their brush with magic. Around 70 people,

Similar events are anticipated in the future. Coming soon on May 23 to 26 will be a Children's Art Show. This is an opportunity for budding artists amongst the youth in the valley to publicly show their work. See elsewhere in this paper for details.

Tour de Bella Coola cyclists brave the elements for 2013 ride Monica Tutt A stalwart group of cyclists showed up on a rainy Saturday morning to participate in the 2013 Tour de Bella Coola. In true west coast spirit, spring showers couldn’t dampen their plans to cycle the upper valley with friends. By the time the bus arrived at the
bottom of the hill, riding in raingear was soon dismissed as drier air moved in from the coast. Weather, be it friend or foe is a key piece of the outdoor experience; you just got to love it! That westerly breeze welcomed dryness, but now created a strong headwind for bikers to muscle through.
A sure test of athleticism, this new challenge would mark 2013 as the windiest ride and generate some disgruntled comments: “I found myself at a standstill on that longed-for downhill stretch”, “I thought for sure I would be blown off my bike”, “that wind was brutal.” The tour is meant

Special thanks to Steven, Isla and Olin Hodgson from BC Parks for their work as the support vehicle.
