Ocean Falls has undergone massive changes in the 50 years since the devastating 1965 slide

50 years later, landslide hits same spot in tiny community of Ocean Falls BY 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 approximately 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 neighbours, 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 windows 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, tangled 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 insurance 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 ourselves. 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 living but it comes with its own set of challenges. “If you can’t fix your own problems 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 season. However, services are still very limited. There is no hospital or nursing station, store of any kind, school or major infrastructure. The largest employer is the private hydro company, Boralex, who boasts five employees on rotating shifts.

Ocean Falls 25 residents unable to use main road

Today Ocean Falls is mostly a retirement community

FROM PAGE 1 Groceries are ordered from Port Hardy or Vancouver and delivered by barge approximately every two weeks. Cartier said she prefers 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 engineer. The local roads area manager, geotechnical engineer, and an environmental consult did the assessment 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 prescription, and environmental 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.

Reader feels “personal gain and profit” ahead of community’s needs 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 community members simply for speaking their beliefs. All of this on top of the recent losses of young lives has created more division 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 living. All of this so certain 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 development and manage-

ment of local resources should come from a place where the benefits are equally enjoyed by the majority of community members. Certain people have made it extremely difficult to even have a conversation pertaining to hunting or development. They have infiltrated 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 hometown anymore. The economy here is suffering; the youth are suffering with it. Opportunities are few and far between. It’s time for a realistic 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 victimization, harassment or bullying on any side. The nasty, meanspirited element that has dominated these discussions is hurting our already devastated community. It has become clear to me there is

need for compromise when it comes to community values whether they pertain to hunting or development. 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 community. Sincerely, Ryan Parr Bella Coola

Report concludes Mount Polley mine was built on unstable foundation BY CAITLIN THOMPSON A report issued last week by the Mount Polley Independent Expert Engineering Investigation and Review Panel concluded that the tailings pond was built on an unstable foundation. Characterized as a “ticking time bomb,” the foundation of the pond, which consisted of layers of unstable glacial silt, was subject 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 construction of the base of the dam took place. As the dam was raised to hold more water and tailings weakened base layer and it eventually 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 letter to the ministry by June 30, 2015 to confirm whether the foundation materials 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 facilities establish independent tailings pond review boards. Finally, there will

be a code review to determine how to best implement the panel’s remaining recommendations, including the adoption of best available practices and technologies. First Nations leaders in the area, who have responded favourably to the Panel’s recommendations, have also assembled their own panel of experts to investigate the disaster. “We were very pleased with the recommendations, very grateful for the recommendations,” said Bev Sellars from the Soda Creek Band. “The recommendations are what First Nations and environmentalists have been saying so long, that the mining industry and resource industry 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 struggling to understand the ongoing impact on the environment,” said NStQ mining cooordinator Jacinda Mack.

“With our own experts, we’re working 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 environmental planner, credited 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 biggest 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-available, it’s going to be a big problem.” This breach has focused attention on other mines throughout the province, and that there could be similar disasters just waiting to happen. Bennett said the ministry will be reaching out to all mining 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-

The massive breach at Mount Polley last year has raised questions about mine safety all over the province photo by Chris Blake 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 downstream slope been flattened failure would have been avoided. The slope was in the process of being flattened to meet its ultimate design criteria at the time of the accident. The NStQ had been hard at work developing a mining policy based on the best mining practices around the world when the breach occurred. Since the 400-

page document was released on the NStQ website it has received a thousand downloads from all over the

world. “The more people who use this policy the better it will be for everybody,” said Chief

Sellars.

The Central Coast Regional District is seeking interest from individuals to sit on the Official Community Plan Advisory Committee (OCPAC). The OCPAC will take the lead on reviewing the regional district’s current Official Community Plan and provide advice to the board and staff of the Central Coast Regional District on planning issues throughout 2015. To register your interest by February 27, 2015, please submit a short biography and state reasons you would like to be involved.

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 success. In particular, we know that the presence of caring relationships in schools is increasingly 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 connectedness as if it were a good raincoat. It doesn’t change the ‘bad weather’ but it does minimize the impact. A good ‘raincoat’ of connectedness 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

Pursuant to Section 66 of the Transportation Act, and to provisions of the Commercial Transport Act, notice is hereby given that load restrictions may be placed on short notice in the near future on all highways within the Cariboo District.

The restrictions will limit vehicles to 100 per cent, 70 per cent or 50 per cent legal axle loading. Overweight permits will not be granted and all term overweight permits are invalid for the duration of the restrictions. Trucking and transportation companies, as well as the general public, should govern themselves accordingly. Your cooperation in adhering to the above regulations is appreciated.

students, even more important than family support. School connectedness is a key part of promoting positive mental health among children and youth. School connectedness 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 students 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 connectedness among students. Unsurprisingly, they found that school connectedness is associated with positive academic and healthrelated 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

School connectedness a key part of promoting positive mental health there. Connectedness to school was highest 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 connectedness compared to 16% in Grade 10 and 21% in Grade 12. Overall, this survey confirmed that school connectedness is associated with positive academic and healthrelated outcomes. Why does connectedness matter?

Because students who are well-connected to their school do better 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 attendance and ultimately, in higher school completion rates. The protections offered by school connectedness extend beyond academics into health and wellbeing. 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 students involved, there is a spill-over effect on communities. When school connectedness is increased, graduation 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 connected to school do better academically and are healthier overall. Dr. Paul Martiquet is the Medical Health Officer for Bella Coola. 30 — Call-out: “The protections offered by school connectedness extend beyond academics into health and wellbeing.”
