50 years later, landslide hits same spot in tiny community of Ocean FallsBY CAITLIN THOMPSON
The tiny community of Ocean Falls has experienced a large landslide in the exact same place as the fatal event that killed seven residents 50 years ago.
On January 25 at approximate-ly 3:25pm, a landslide of mud, trees, rocks and debris buried the public road that connects Martin Valley residents to the rest of Ocean Falls.
50 years ago, on January 13, 1965, a muddy landslide full of snow and debris swept away an entire family and their neigh-bours, injured five people and left 350 people homeless. The devastation was intense, with the Vancouver Sun describing the scene as ‘panic, horror, and death.’
The 1965 slide was predicted by multiple old timers after townspeople supposedly “prayed
for rain and got too much.” The Vancouver Sun described how two duplexes were twisted off their wooden foundations and hurled down 100ft bank onto the roofs of the Ocean Falls Advertiser and the Credit Union.
The event occurred as Ocean Fall’s 3000-plus residents were “spending a normal Wednesday night – in the beer parlours, at the movies, or playing darts with friends at the Legion Hall.”
Hudson’s Bay employees were taking inventory at the store when the power went out 10 minutes before the slide hit at 10pm.
Clare Langdale, a 28-year old resident on Ocean Falls and a paper maker at Crown Zellerbach’s plant, vividly recalled in a bedside interview in hospital: “We were sitting in our duplex kitchen when Bobby said the win-dows were rattling and a storm
was blowing up. “We looked out but there was
no storm. The next we knew a rush of boulders, snow and water lifted the house and it went flying around. The house literally took off from its moorings.
“A second and a third wave hit, and then I was on the floor, tan-gled up with the table legs. Bobby was alongside me. My wife ended up in the basement, pinned there by a kitchen chair on one side and the chesterfield on the other.
“I was pinned against the wall by a big chunk of ice. I could move my feet, that’s all. I was standing on Bobby who was pinned under me on the floor.” It took rescuers 50 minutes to dig out his wife and the family lost everything as insur-ance wouldn’t cover the costs.
Fortunately, this last event was nowhere near as traumatic but the community of 25 full-time resi-
dents is cut off from their normal routine as they are stranded on one side of the slide.
Most of Ocean Falls’ residents live in the Martin Valley and the slide has blocked them from the BC Ferries dock and the post office.
However, barges have been able to deliver food to alternative docks for the present time.
“The slide has blocked the only road we have,” said resident Sharron Cartier. “Unlike the last few events, we don’t have the capacity to deal with this our-selves. It’s just too large.”
Ocean Falls has undergone some dramatic changes in the past 50 years. From a booming industry town of over 3000 to a tiny hamlet of under 30 residents in a 50-year span, Ocean Falls is certainly a unique place to live.
Cartier, who retired in Ocean
Falls full-time eleven years ago, says she really likes the remote liv-ing but it comes with its own set of challenges.
“If you can’t fix your own prob-lems you’re not in good shape out here,” Cartier laughs. “And you have to really like your partner.”
Cartier said that most of Ocean Falls 25 or so residents are retired and sitting the 60 plus bracket. In the summer the population jumps to near 100 residents, as those with summer homes and charter businesses show up for the sea-son. However, services are still very limited.
There is no hospital or nursing station, store of any kind, school or major infrastructure. The larg-est employer is the private hydro company, Boralex, who boasts five employees on rotating shifts.

Groceries are ordered from Port Hardy or Vancouver and delivered by barge approximately every two weeks. Cartier said she pre-fers the tiny hamlet to her hometown of Quesnel, saying she loves being on the water.
Interior Roads crews were on hand last week to survey the damage by air with a geo-technical engi-neer. The local roads area manager, geo-technical engineer, and an environmental consult did the assess-ment from the air and to ensure the area was safe to work in.
“We can’t just look at the road, we needed to get above the mountain range to ensure the area is safe,” said Todd Hubner, Ministry of Transportation District Manager for the Cariboo Region. “The next step is to
get the engineer’s pre-scription, and envi-ronmental plan, and then equipment to the site.”
Hubner said there are some challenges in getting equipment
into the area to deal with the 30,000 cubic metres of debris, but did say that once crews are moving it should only take a day or so to get a lane open for traffic.

Dear Editor,
Recent events have brought to light the level of crisis in our community today. It has been alleged that death threats were leveled at a large number of commu-nity members simply for speaking their beliefs. All of this on top of the recent loss-es of young lives has created more divi-sion and strife in our beautiful Valley.
The supposed “bear-killing culture” has been attacked in various public forums as a reason as to why tourists will refuse to travel to our Valley. Ironically, perhaps we now have more to worry about from our own neighbours and community members than the wild animals that frequent our Valley. Human safety has become an issue now more than ever.
The fact is our
Valley has been forced to adhere to a strict new way of liv-ing. All of this so cer-tain individuals can run their businesses and manage Valley resources for their benefit. I can’t help but feel this is about personal gain and profit. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about making better choices for our community, but at what cost?
Economic devel-opment and manage-
ment of local resourc-es should come from a place where the benefits are equally enjoyed by the major-ity of community members. Certain people have made it extremely difficult to even have a conver-sation pertaining to hunting or develop-ment. They have infil-trated local groups, disrupted progress, and never seem to want to work as part of a team effort. It
doesn’t matter how the argument goes: we are labeled as trophy hunters and destroyers.
I was born in this town and I love the people here, but I honestly feel I don’t know my home-town anymore. The economy here is suffering; the youth are suffering with it. Opportunities are few and far between. It’s time for a real-istic conversation
about what we want our community to look like and how we want to manage our resources.
If we want to move forward, there is no room for victimiza-tion, harassment or bullying on any side. The nasty, mean-spirited element that has dominated these discussions is hurting our already devas-tated community.
It has become clear to me there is
need for compromise when it comes to community values whether they pertain to hunting or devel-opment. There is no room for the “my way or the highway” approach. This is not the thin edge of the wedge but a battering ram pointed right at the heart of our com-munity.
Sincerely,
Ryan Parr Bella Coola
PRESS RELEASE
On January 30, 2015, represen-tatives from the Tsilhqot’in National Government (TNG) held a public meet-ing in Tatla Lake, BC to discuss the details and implementation of the Tsilhqot’in Decision. With upwards of 50 resi-dents in attendance, Chief Roger William, Vice-Chair of TNG, provided an over-view of the Decision along with an update on discussions hap-pening with the pro-vincial and federal governments.
The 150-year journey from the Chilcotin War in 1864 to today has been one of sad-ness and pain. June 26, 2014 was a day of hope – hope for healing, hope for understanding and hope for reconcili-ation. Recognizing the past, building strong relationships and moving forward together is the path TNG wants to take.
Chief Roger William, TNG Vice-Chair and Chief of Xeni Gwet’in, states
that, “To move for-ward, we need to understand each other and work together. Residents are concerned that the same thing will happen to them as happened to the Tsilhqot’in – that their land will be taken out from under them. Our intention
is to learn from his-tory and our strug-gles of displacement, we wish to coexist with the residents of the Chilcotin.”
Chief William further states, “Our goal is to get caught up – to have a voice and be treated as an equal partner in a meaningful way.
People have cho-sen the Chilcotin as a place to settle because they love it here. I believe we share some of the same values as these residents. I hope that improving the lives of the Tsilhqot’in would ultimately improve the lives of everyone in the Chilcotin.”

BY CAITLIN THOMPSON
A report issued last week by the Mount Polley Independent Expert Engineering Investigation and Review Panel con-cluded that the tail-ings pond was built on an unstable founda-tion.
Characterized as a “ticking time bomb,” the foundation of the pond, which consisted of layers of unstable glacial silt, was sub-ject to more pressure throughout the years as a series of steep additions added to its burden.
Experts said that the initial studies failed to understand how complex the glacial material was when the initial con-struction of the base of the dam took place. As the dam was raised to hold more water and tailings weakened base layer and it even-tually collapsed.
“Basically the weight of the dam was too much for the weak materials in the foundation to bear,” said U.S. consulting engineer Steven Vick, one of three experts called in to examine the failure that caused the dam to breach and fail in August 2014.
There are currently 98 permitted tailings storage facilities in the province with 123 dams at 60 metal and coal mines in B.C.
Last week the panel made seven recommendations and three actions that were announced by Minister of Energy and Mines Bill Bennett.
All operating mines with tailings storage facility dams will now have to provide a let-ter to the ministry by June 30, 2015 to confirm whether the foundation materi-als similar to those at Mount Polley exist below any of their dams.
There is also a new requirement that all operating mines with tailings storage facili-ties establish inde-pendent tailings pond review boards.
Finally, there will
be a code review to determine how to best implement the panel’s remaining recommen-dations, including the adoption of best avail-able practices and technologies.
First Nations lead-ers in the area, who have responded favourably to the Panel’s recommen-dations, have also assembled their own panel of experts to investigate the disas-ter.
“We were very pleased with the rec-ommendations, very grateful for the recom-mendations,” said Bev Sellars from the Soda Creek Band.
“The recommenda-tions are what First Nations and environ-mentalists have been saying so long, that the mining industry and resource indus-try as well, needs to change.”
Sage Birchwater, a reporter in the Cariboo region, reported in a recent article that the water flowing into Quesnel Lake is still murky six months after the disaster.
In mid-January the Xat’sull/Soda Creek First Nation, Williams Lake First Nations, and the Northern Secwepemc Tribal Council (NStQ) hosted a meeting and introduced the panel of experts hired by the Tribal Council.
“We are looking into the cause of the breach and strug-gling to understand the ongoing impact on the environment,” said NStQ mining co-oordinator Jacinda Mack.
“With our own experts, we’re work-ing as equals, not just reviewing government and Mount Polley reports.”
Many of these experts explained that the long-term effects of the toxins on fish and the environment may not be felt for many years.
Brian Olding, NStQ’s environmen-tal planner, cred-ited Mount Polley for responding quickly to the disaster, but said that is still huge uncertainty on how long-lasting the effects of the breach will be.
Ernest Kroeker, fisheries manager for NStQ, said the spill is affecting two kinds of fish: migratory salmon and resident Quesnel Lake Rainbow trout. Kroeker said the big-gest concern for the Sockeye isn’t the spawning grounds; it’s the rearing grounds.
“Quesnel Lake is the nursery where juvenile sockeye feed for a whole year,” he said. “If toxins are mobile and bio-avail-able, it’s going to be a big problem.”
This breach has focused attention on other mines through-out the province, and that there could be similar disasters just waiting to happen.
Bennett said the ministry will be reach-ing out to all min-ing operators in the province to see if their mines might have been built on glacial till and if so, whether they were built with that instability in mind.
“If there is any question at all of simi-
lar circumstances to what existed at Mount Polley on your mine site, you need to tell us so that we can do further inspections,” Bennett said.
The report also indicated that the failure was triggered by construction of the downstream rockfill zone at a steep slope. The Panel concluded that had the down-stream slope been flattened failure would have been avoided.
The slope was in the process of being flattened to meet its ultimate design crite-ria at the time of the accident.
The NStQ had been hard at work developing a mining policy based on the best mining prac-tices around the world when the breach occurred.
Since the 400-
page document was released on the NStQ website it has received a thousand down-loads from all over the
world. “The more people
who use this policy the better it will be for everybody,” said Chief
Sellars.With files from

Toronto-born and Calgary-raised Barney Bentall moved to Vancouver when he was twenty, pursuing a girl and a dream of being the next Stephen Stills. He got the girl, and they had four children. In 1987, broke and living in
his mother-in-law’s basement suite, he was poised to quit his fledgling career.
A relentless voice in his head kept whispering, “ya gotta give this one more try”. His band at the time, The Legendary Hearts, scraped together enough
money to send him to Toronto “to grovel on behalf of our sorry assed souls”. He managed to get the band a record con-tract with Columbia/Sony Records and a management deal with good friend, Bernie Finkelstein.
Bentall writes,
“The next ten years were a fun, exciting and soul-stretching ride that we all somehow managed to survive. There was never a manual written for this kind of thing.” In 2000, he decided to scale back from music and was determined to pursue the “other dream”. They had bought a ranch in the Cariboo and, inspired by a sense of adventure, decided to take a stab at run-ning it. By 2007, it was time to jump back into the musical circus.
In the last seven years, he has released three solo records on the quint-essential Canadian label founded by Bernie Finkelstein called True North Records.
The Legendary Hearts still play from time to time, he has a “kick ass
solo band called “The Bonapartes” and partners with Shari Ulrich and Tom
Taylor as a trio. Then there’s The
Grand Cariboo Opry--his rambling, on the edge, twelve-piece Country &Western orchestra that tours in the fall to raise funds for charity.
Most recently, Bentall has formed a bluegrass band under the leadership of good friend and long-time musical mate, Colin Nairne, called the High Bar Gang which just released their first CD on True North. With an undying penchant for Rock & Roll, the journey continues.

The Snxlhh Transition House is gearing up to host a group of exciting guests from March 20 – 21, 2015. Musicians Inez Jasper (who recently visited Bella Coola to help with youth healing workshops), and Shane Yellowbird will join football stars JR LaRose, Rolly Lumbala, and Will Loftus to speak about empowerment and ending violence against women.
Spearheaded by community organizer Melinda Mack, the two-day event will feature a Funball Tournament and Cultural Night on Friday, March 20, and evening concert at Lobelco Hall on Saturday, March 21.
Mack, who forged a friendship with LaRose since his visit to the com-munity last year and has worked with the Transition House to plan the event in March, said the weekend is about bringing a positive
message to the com-munity.
LaRose has toured extensively through-out BC and Alberta spreading his mes-sage about triumph over adversity and ending violence against women. LaRose, whose mother is Cree from the One Arrow First Nation, grew up on a reservation outside of Edmonton.
Shane Yellowbird is a Cree musician from Hobbema, AB. In 2007, Yellowbird was named the Aboriginal Entertainer of the Year at the Aboriginal People's Choice Music Awards, Chevy Trucks Rising Star of the Year at the Canadian Country Music Awards and had one of the 10 most played country music songs of the year in Canada.
Inez Jasper also known by her stage name Inez, is a Sto:lo/Ojibway/Metis singer-songwriter , record producer, and sound engineer,
actress, nurse, and public speaker.
Known for blend-ing R&B, First Nations music, pop music and EDM in 2009 her single “Breathe” won Single of the Year at the Aboriginal People's Choice Music Awards (APCMAs). She has released two albums, Singsonggirl (2009) and Burn Me Down 2013), and twice has been nominated for the Juno Award for Aboriginal Album of the Year: once in 2010 and once in 2014. Also in 2014, she was named Best Producer/Engineer at the APCMAs.
A registered nurse and periodic speaker on health issues, for her community contributions the National Aboriginal Health Organization (NAHO) in Ottawa named her the National Aboriginal Role Model in 2008.
The Funball tour-nament, in memory of Renee Tallio, will feature teams stand-ing for someone or
a positive message. The BC Lions team will be “Ending Violence Against Women,” while Mack’s team will be “Break the Silence on Domestic Abuse,” and Renee Tallio’s sisters will be “The Funny Ponchos.” Teams are encour-aged to sign up and dress up in crazy outfits.

DR. PAUL MARTIQUETMEDICAL HEALTH OFFICER
School can be a challenge for many kids whatever their age.
There is the push to succeed academically alongside the need for social success. Mixed in are the expectations of parents and peers which can be conflict-ing. And what about
the child or youth’s own expectations? Success at school is not a given, but we are identifying some very positive factors that improve every child’s opportunities for suc-cess.
In particular, we know that the presence of caring relationships in schools is increas-ingly recognized as a vital for successful schools. This concept of ‘connectedness’ acts as a protective factor for youth and children when they are faced with challenges. To use the example of ‘Healthy Schools BC’ (http://healthyschoolsbc.ca/), consider connected-ness as if it were a good raincoat. It doesn’t change the ‘bad weath-er’ but it does minimize the impact. A good ‘raincoat’ of connect-edness can take a child from just getting by at school to thriving.
A recent UBC research paper (using Grade 4 students in Vancouver) found that connections with adults at school were the most important connections to the
students, even more important than family support. School con-nectedness is a key part of promoting positive mental health among children and youth.
School connected-ness is about creating a school community where everyone feels safe, heard, supported, significant and cared for. The key is to build strong and positive relationships among students, between stu-dents and school staff, and between school staff, families and the larger community.
The McCreary Centre Society’s 2013 Adolescent Health Survey (www.mcs.bc.ca/2013_AHS_Reports ) measured the level of connected-ness among students. Unsurprisingly, they found that school con-nectedness is associ-ated with positive academic and health-related outcomes. More specifically, the survey reports that the majority of students felt like they were a part of their school, were happy to be at school, and felt safe
there. Connectedness to school was high-est among students in Grade 7 and lowest among students in Grades 9 to 11: 40% of Grade 7 students reported the highest levels of school con-nectedness compared to 16% in Grade 10 and 21% in Grade 12. Overall, this survey confirmed that school connectedness is asso-ciated with positive academic and health-related outcomes.
Why does con-nectedness matter?
Because students who are well-connected to their school do bet-ter across all aspects of schooling. It starts with them placing a greater value on school which helps them stay motivated for class and homework. It also results in better atten-dance and ultimately, in higher school com-pletion rates.
The protections offered by school con-nectedness extend beyond academics into health and wellbe-ing. Students who feel
greater connections to their school are more likely to report good health, tend to have higher self-esteem and are less likely to have behaviour problems. While the positive impacts of school connectedness are greatest on the stu-dents involved, there is a spill-over effect on communities. When school connectedness is increased, gradua-tion rates do too. There are social benefits ranging from better wages and longer life expectancy to lower healthcare and social assistance costs and reduced crime and incarceration rates.
The research is strong and consistent: students who feel con-nected to school do better academically and are healthier over-all.
Dr. Paul Martiquet is the Medical Health Officer for Bella Coola.

protections offered by school connectedness extend beyond aca-demics into health and wellbeing.”

Nuxalk Nation takes part in historic paddle to Qatuwas Festival in Bella BellaBy eVanGeline hanUse
On the morning of July 9, 2014, four canoes began their journey from Bella Coola to par-take in the annual Tribal Canoe Journeys. Hosted this year by the Heiltsuk Nation of Bella Bella, it is estimated that there will be 100 canoes attending the Qatuwas Festival and 5,000 visitors going to Bella Bella for seven days of celebrating, feast-ing, and dancing.Tribal Journeys, also referred
to as Qatuwas, or ‘People Gathering Together,’ is planning to return to Bella Bella this year, 21 years after its first gathering was held in 1993. The Heiltsuk have played a key role in the resurgence of the ocean going canoe culture along the Pacific North West Coast when they first carved a canoe and paddled from Bella Bella to Vancouver for Expo 86, in 1986 and in 1989 participated in the “Paddle to Seattle”, and at this event invited other tribes to travel to
Bella Bella and hosted the 1993 Qatuwas Festival.Members of the Squamish Nation and their fellow paddlers from Hawaii towed two canoes from Vancouver, BC and were welcomed into Bella Coola by the Nuxalk Nation with a pot-luck at the Bella Coola Motel Campground. Together, they journeyed for three days with the help of support vessels, arriving in Bella Bella last weekend. Luke Mack, a skipper, who has been on several canoe
journeys, was cautious when speaking of facing the notori-ous Mesachie Nose, famous for its swirling currents and strong winds. “If the winds pick up we may have to be towed,” said Mack. To many, this canoe journey is seen as a healing opportu-nity for all involved. Cultural traditions and knowledge are being revived as traditionally Nuxalkmc were skilled naviga-tors on the water, using the ocean as a highway for trade and
attending ceremonies all across the Coast, even traveling as far as the Hawaiian Islands. Hereditary Chief Q’umulha Rhonda Sandoval is excited to partake in the experience of a lifetime with her husband, Will, and daughter Anuxum. A former commercial fisher and experi-enced diver, Sandoval is right at home on the water and is hop-ing this journey will keep the momentum going and revive the Nuxalkmc canoe culture
