Representatives from the province and 18 First Nations completed marine plans that include the Central Coast

First Nations and the Province announce agreement under Marine Planning Partnership An agreement on sustainable marine planning covering about 102,000 square kilometres of the B.C. coast — much of it fronting the Great Bear Rainforest — was jointly announced Monday in Victoria by the provincial government and 18 first nations. Plans covering two-thirds of the B.C. coast define areas from general use to special protection, including

natural and cultural areas, within four subregions — Haida Gwaii, North Coast, Central Coast, and North Vancouver Island. Marine stakeholders representing multiple sectors provided input and advice to the process via advisory committees: four sub-regional and one regional. In addition, a Science Advisory Committee gave expert technical and scientific

knowledge and advice throughout the planning process. Both the Nuxalk Nation and the Central Coast Regional District took part in the process. “CCRD was involved in an advisory capacity during the creation of the Central Coast plan and intends to stay involved in this way during implementation and management,” said Alison Sayers, CCRD representative on MaPP's Central Coast

Marine Plan Advisory Committee. “It was a positive and collaborative planning process and I hope to see many positive social, environmental, and economic benefits for our region.” The plans take into consideration factors such as species, habitats, and marine uses, including recreational and commercial activities, and are meant to serve as a basis for future

management decisions, especially in the near shore and foreshore areas of the coast. The marine plans do not address management of uses and activities in areas of federal jurisdiction such as commercial fishing and marine transportation, including LNG development, as well as management of private lands or uplands. While the conclusion of this plan

represents a significant step forward in managing marine areas on the coast, there is still a lot of work to do with the federal government. Aboriginal leaders said coastal planning won’t be complete until similar agreements are reached with the federal government, which has jurisdiction in key areas to do with the water itself such as commercial fishing and

shipping, including transport of oil and liquefied natural gas. Art Sterritt, executive director of Coastal First Nations, said it’s disappointing Ottawa did not participate in the Marine Planning Partnership agreement. But, he said, talks are underway with federal officials and he is “fairly optimistic the federal government is going to engage with us.” SEE

Hagensborg Water District facing “rising costs,” asks voters to prioritize projects BY CAITLIN THOMPSON The Hagensborg Water District held their Annual General Meeting on Thursday, April 23, at the Hagensborg Fire Hall. The meeting was well-attended and focused mostly on the auditor’s report presented by the HWD’s bookkeeper, Wesley Abel, and issues surrounding the purification system, aging infrastructure, and rising costs, presented by Chair Ken Dunsworth. Abel, who began his position with the HWD last year, was enthusiastic and forthcoming with the report, stating that the HWD is doing a good job of managing its affairs overall. As of December 31, 2014, the HWD had a closing cash

balance of over $775,000. However, Dunsworth explained that Abel and the recent audit had revealed that costs were rapidly overtaking generated revenue, explaining that the required upgrades faced by the district are quickly exceeding $6 million. This is on top of increased operating costs, which Dunsworth said have exceeded by over 500% in some areas since The HWD is facing a UV treatment point of entry water treatment program and the replacement of 12 kilometres of water line. The fire protection division must replace the aging fire truck, which expires in the next 18 months, and the fire hydrant assemblies also need major upgrades. The trustees are

having ongoing discussions with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to redesign and rebuild the dam intake, as major new construction at the hatchery is requiring this renovation. As the community agreed they would like to avoid chlorination several years ago, special effort has been made to comply with the governments legislation that all water must be “potable” or treated prior to entry into the home. UV light was determined to be the treatment of choice and the system was installed in 2012. A number of homes have been operating with the POE system ever since. However, at the meeting Dunsworth indicated that the government is also

now considering water delivery systems (i.e. pipelines) to be a significant risk to potability, and are therefore equal in importance to purification. This presents yet another hurdle for small water systems. In light of this development, Dunsworth raised the important question of priorities; asking the ratepayers which project they thought was most critical: replacement of the aging line or the POE system? The costs of both projects are simply outside the scope of the HWD budget, and while Dunsworth characterized the HWD’s relationship with the government as “good,” he said that they are consistently trying to drive home the message that “we can’t afford this.”

Federal government did not participate FROM PAGE 1 Sophie Doucet, a spokeswoman for the fisheries and oceans minister, said Ottawa did not participate in the Marine Planning Partnership because of other similar land use work, including development of a network of marine protected areas on the B.C. coast. “Our national conservation plan includes $37 million for measures to strengthen marine and coastal conservation across Canada,” said Doucet. Sabine Jessen, national oceans program director of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, said the marine plans mark the “beginning of a long process” towards implementation, adding she hopes the “federal government will seize the opportunity to build on this” and ensure that the region receives comprehensive ocean management and

protection. Among those supporting the Marine Planning Partnership (MaPP) agreement: Central Coast Indigenous Resource Alliance, Coastal First Nations-Great Bear Initiative, Council

of the Haida Nation, Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, Nanwakolas Council, North Coast-Skeena First Nations Stewardship Society. Tides Canada and the Gordon and Betty

Moore Foundation contributed to the effort. Parties to the agreement are “now focused on drafting implementation agreements for future action,” according to a news release.

Accessing funding to complete the multitude of projects has been a constant nightmare for the Board, as they are an Improvement District and don’t qualify for federal-provincial government infrastructure grants. The option for amalgamating with the regional district was raised once again, and Dunsworth said that option is always up for discussion amongst the ratepayers. The POE system is still being tested against issues such as turbidity and fluctuating water levels, and adjustments have been ongoing to correct the system from turning off unnecessarily and estimate future maintenance costs. “We’re getting good informa-

tion from these experiences,” said Dunsworth. “This has not been a failure but actually a success.” Since the implementation of the $500 parcel tax, over $200,00 has been saved to pay for the POE system. These monies are strictly to be used for compliance and are inaccessible to the HWD for any other reason. Dunsworth said that water tolls, however, have remained stagnant at $100 since 1984, and proposed the community bring up the tolls to be on par with inflation, to a total of $236. This would mean a total of $836 per year. Ratepayers rejected this idea, saying the HWD should instead take a look at their expenses, pointing out that Administration costs

are sitting at almost $25,000, and travel at almost $3500. “It seems the first thing you should look at is cutting your expenses instead of trying to increase your revenue,” said Laurie Sissons. “You have to look at cost savings,” said Ken McIlwain. “That I don’t see as an option that’s being presented tonight.” Dunsworth responded by saying that the directors would consider that input and review costs. Election of directors also took place. There were twoterms open, Ken Dunsworth was reelected for another three-year term and Dianne Tuck was elected to fill the vacant seat left by Steven Hodgson, who resigned from the board last winter.

“Emperor’s New Clothes” on parade at Hagensborg Water District’s AGM? Dear Editor, I attended the recent Hagensborg Water AGM, which provided little clarity on our future direction. Chair Ken Dunsworth rambled through a long and repetitive power point presentation which provided little new information regarding the district’s efforts to secure an affordable water treatment system, upgrade the dam and intake or replace the ageing water main. Considering that costs for just these objectives still top out at more than six million dollars, he admitted that without a significant level of funding support from government, they were not achievable. Dunsworth also gave a brief update on the Point of Entry pilot project, which has

experienced a number of problems, centering mostly on recurring turbidity commonly associated with surface water systems. Even if water users were to be provided with a point of entry system tomorrow, he acknowledged that maintenance and recapitalization costs alone would be beyond the ability of ratepayers to sustain, incurring annual costs that would exceed the present $500 per parcel tax levy. He then launched into a discussion of water tolls, which have not increased since 1984. He compared this to very large increases in other costs to the district over the same time period, focusing on insurance, fuel etc. Strangely, he did not mention the even greater proportional increase in parcel

taxes. Nor did he mention the large increase in spending on administration, particularly in the past fiscal year. Granted, water tolls and parcel taxes are two different things, but my wallet makes no such distinction when it shells out one of the highest annual amounts for water service in BC. Questions from ratepayers centered on those increases in administrative costs; a query about the duties of the CAO was not satisfactorily answered. Further questions involved the possibility of the Hagensborg Water District partnering with the CCRD, to which Dunsworth replied that ratepayers might have to vote at some future date in a referendum on this topic. Yet I have confirmed that to date not

a single exploratory meeting between the water board and our local government has taken place. There were salient points made about the lack of efficacy of UV treatment systems in general, and why we were continuing to pay such high parcel taxes; the response seemed grounded in the board’s belief that it was in everyone’s best interest to curry favor with the province and Vancouver Coastal Health by demonstrating the financial commitment each household was willing to make toward achieving an acceptable treatment system. The fact that any such treatment system had already been demonstrated to be financially out of reach for most small water districts such as ours didn’t seem to deter the district from continuing to levy draconian charges on its own rate payers. When asked if other small water districts

were charging similar higher fees, the chair responded that they were basically “doing nothing” while awaiting provincial government action(s). No mention was made of those small districts who are actively negotiating partnership agreements with their municipalities or local governments, agreements which would most assuredly open up significant funding opportunities to them. Instead, our board clings to the notion that the provincial government will supply funding directly to improvement districts and local service areas in future. The province has indicated on numerous occasions that organizations such as Hagensborg Water District do not meet its desired standards of accountability and therefore will not be eligible for direct funding. Curiously, no mention was made of the now discredited fundraising scheme

that was the subject of an excellent article in the Coast Mt. News (April 9, page A4). That article included a suggestion that the board would determine the final fate of this harebrained scheme (my apologies to all rabbits out there!) at its March meeting, so I was anticipating an announcement to this effect, together with some sort of public apology. Given the ethical and governance issues raised by this matter over the last six months, a move to restore public trust was appropriate. Instead, the board appears determined to continue with its ostrich-like behaviour. When asked by this paper to clarify written responses given previously to questions about this issue, the board refused to do so, and then took the unprecedented step of formally withdrawing those previous comments. I doubt that I'm the only rate

payer who finds these Orwellian actions extremely troubling. While Chair Dunsworth repeatedly stated that the board is always open to receiving questions or comments, the complete absence recently of the kind of public information sessions and special meetings we all attended when the decision was first taken to investigate a UV point of entry water treatment system puts a lie to this. I challenged Ken and the board to hold more public information sessions and/or special general meetings in the coming year; we can’t ask informed questions if we are not informed in the first place! This meeting left me feeling more than a little uneasy, as if we were all somehow disconnected from the reality of the dollars that have continued to flow from our wallets and pockets into a kind of purposeless black hole. It reminded me of that old Scandinavian folk tale (Danish, I believe) entitled The Emperor’s New Clothes; we all seemed to be waiting for someone to expose the truth behind this expensive farce…and yet there is some good news to report. With the election of Dianne Tuck to the board, ratepayers will finally have a trustee who combines extensive fiscal management experience with a level-headed approach to problem solving. And I am assured that she can and will recognize a group of naked men when she sees them! Sincerely, Kevin O’Neill

Bella Coola student receives President’s Art Award at NWCC Northwest Community College (NWCC) is awarding students from the Freda Diesing School of Northwest Coast Art for their talent. A first year Fine Arts student has received the newly established NWCC President’s Art Award. Danika Naccarella of the Nuxalk Nation in Bella Coola was awarded $750 for her first place painting entitled “Crouching Bear.” In her piece, a bear is depicted in light blue in a crouching position. Naccarella enjoys using bold and vibrant colours on her artwork and wanted the piece to catch eyes. “I’m honoured to receive this award,” said Naccarella. “As a young artist, my learning experience at the Freda Diesing School has truly helped to build my confidence and the skills that I’ve learned in my first year shine through in this design.

Self defense workshops a valuable experience for Valley women and girls BY TRACY MCGRATH There was lots of laughs and learning up and down the valley last month when many dozens of local women took part in a series of workshops funded for our community by Justice Canada. Mothers and their teen

daughters (as young as 11) came out to empower themselves and each other by building awareness and skills to increase safety in their lives. The week kicked off with a self–care event at the CE Centre. A full house of women and girls

Girls and women came away feeling better prepared after a workshop on self defense

worked on selfawareness and selfregulation skills while crafting and creating, fuelled by delicious food ala Nola Mack. Ideas and resources were shared as the crowd filled up their “tool boxes” with awareness and skills. Next followed three opportunities to receive selfdefence training. There was kicking and punching and yelling all week, but at the end there was no tears or bruises or fear. There was smiles and strong posture, many thanks for bringing in Jennifer Kirkey of Wenlido (self-defence training for women by women). Jennifer taught us that under Canadian law everyone has the right to use reasonable force to defend themselves. Jennifer also taught us some bone crushing moves

The annual Walk of Hope draws attention to the ongoing problem of family violence even a smaller person can use to defend themselves against an attack. She taught us not to be afraid to use these skills to protect ourselves. Most of all we learned to follow our gut instincts, be aware of what is happening, be ready to use our what we know

and be confident enough to say STOP! NO! All those who participated in the trainings are now more prepared for college/university, working night-shifts, travelling anywhere, new relationships and many other scenarios in which women commonly
