A joint effort by numerous agencies resulted in an early Christmas for many victims of last fall’s tremendous flood.

At the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure office in Williams Lake, Leanna Illinicki and Loreen Russell organized a project that substituted their usual staff gift exchange in favour of buying gifts for flood-affected families.

In addition to the Ministry of Transportation’s generos-ity, other BCGEU employees from various provincial minis-tries including the Corrections Branch, Client Services Branch,

Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Forests and Range, Ministry of Agriculture and Lands, and the Integrated Land Management Bureau took part in the project, as did their union.

Interior Roads, Dawson Construction, Triton Environmental and Binnie

Associates donated $4,000 to the Flood Relief Bank account to be used for firewood, furnace fuel and hay.

Many people purchased specific items that families had indicated their children would appreciate including bikes, hel-mets, skates, board games and clothing.

Leanna loaded two pick-up trucks with the gifts and deliv-ered them to Bella Coola where volunteers used the Mormon Church Hall to organize and distribute them. Employees

at the Williams Lake hospital also sent gifts to the valley via Beeline Courier.

Earlier that week Michel Bazille (CEO of the Bella Coola Hospital), and some of the hos-pital staff delivered gift blankets that had been donated to flood affected households, which had been donated by Vancouver Coastal Health employees in Vancouver.

The Bella Coola Flood Restoration Committee was also able to organize two vol-unteer work crews that assisted

local householders in from mid October through November and December. The first group to arrive was a six-person crew from the Mennonite Disaster Service. Hosed at the Community Church in Hagensborg these men helped fourteen householders with cleanup and reconstruction during the nine days that they were in the valley.

teers from ADRA (Adventist Disaster Relief Association) began arriving and setting to work on a variety of projects from splitting and stacking firewood on the coldest weekend to collecting and hauling debris to the dump. These people were housed and fed by local Seventh Day Adventist families.

The local United Church has also been very active in making a number of connections to other congregations in B.C. and across Canada, which has resulted in a number of cash donations.

The Flood Restoration Committee was also able to dis-tribute some of the donated funds just prior to Christmas. All affected families received a proportion of the funds in the 2010 Flood account based on the degree to which their homes and property were damaged.

There will be another distribu-tion of funds later in January which will take into consider-ation the amount of damage and also the funding people have received from the Disaster Assistance

Fund, as there are various reasons why affected families have not received com-pensation from this provincial fund.

Despite encoun-tering a few “snags” the committee’s firewood project is also now distribut-ing firewood to help those who had theirs soaked or washed away by the flood-waters. Thanks to a couple of local truckers, two of the expected loads of logs from Anahim have made it to the Valley bottom and are being

processed and dis-tributed.

People with fire-wood needs have been listed accord-ing to the urgency of their situation and will be contacted when their wood is available for pick-up. Volunteers are need-ed to help with this project.

The Bella Coola Flood restoration Committee would like to give thanks to all the volunteers helping with commit-tee projects, donating money to the Flood Account or continu-

ing to give help and /or support to friends and neighbours. Your support and help is so appreciated.

Bella Bella moves to Zero Waste initiative

The remote coastal communi-ties of Bella Bella and Hartley Bay have begun their pursuit of a Zero Waste initiative. While Bella Coola residents are certainly familiar with the geographical challenges posed by recycling and waste reduction in this community, our coastal neighbours face an even bigger hurdle.

Accessible only by water or air, these island communities have been stockpiling waste and throw-ing recyclables in the community landfill for years.

The Coastal First Nations has undertaken a Zero Waste initiative in Bella Bella and Hartley Bay. The initiative has seen the introduction of recycling in the community of Bella Bella, as well as the transfer out of the community of non-recy-clable waste.

Unfortunately, many rural First Nation communities do not have a solid waste collection

program or an engineered landfill available for their use. This is largely due to the

remoteness of communities, a lack of land, and a lack of resourc-es. Although a community may set up a specific area for solid waste, litter management issues and bear or other pest problems are com-mon complaints. Often, waste is burned to reduce volume, smell, and to prevent pests.

While still in its infancy, the program is already gaining momentum and is expected to grow. At present Bella Bella is embracing an interim solution with a clean up initiative and a fuel barge backhaul taking waste out of the community.

The Ferry Advisory Committee Chairs are claiming the current contract contains unsustainable fare increases that will result in negative impacts in coastal communities.

The Ferry Advisory Committee Chairs (FACC) are pressur-ing the government to review the current coastal ferry con-tract which they say contains unsustain-able increases, espe-cially for more remote coastal communities.

The contract review will set fare increase caps and ser-vice levels for a four-year period starting April 2012. Current factors are set to pro-duce fare hikes in the range of ten percent a year, or to require ser-vice cuts, or both.

“The only variable that can substantially change those fare increases or service decreases is provincial funding support,” says Brian Hollingshead of Saturna Island.

Since 2003, fares

on average increased sixty percent and in some cases more than one hundred percent. In the same period inflation, increased by less than eleven per-cent. The basic pro-vincial contribution did not increase in that period, although there was additional provincial funding to help with northern capital costs.

“Few coastal residents expect a free ride, as is the case with the inland fer-ries. Few expect fares not to increase. But most expect increases in line with other costs, as expressed by the Consumer Price Index,” says Tony Law of Hornby Island.

Like all of BC's rural communities, coastal communi-ties need affordable,

accessible lifeline infrastructure. On the coast that includes ferries.

“Affordable fer-ries alone won't cre-ate jobs and rebuild our economies, but we can be sure it will be very difficult with fare increases compounding at ten percent a year,” says Bill Cripps of Powell River. “We'll have large, accumulating annual increases on an already inflated base – the opposite of affordable.”

The FACC is ask-ing the provincial government to weigh their findings, and the value of afford-able public access to the BC coast, and to consider public fund-ing that will keep ferry fare increases in line with inflation.

Ferry Advisory Committee presses for review on fare increases

BY DR. PAUL MARTIQUET, MEDICAL HEALTH OFFICER

Men are not the same as women. There! You have now heard it officially. Despite your first thoughts, we are not going to discuss the differences between men and women, you know, the biological stuff. Instead, we look at men’s health and how it differs from women’s in significant ways.

A recent report from the Chief Medical Health Officer for the Northern Health Region examined that very question from a perspective of communities in British Columbia’s north. While there are many unique characteris-tics and challenges specific to the North, much of the report can be applied to almost any jurisdiction.

The report is entitled “Where are the Men?” because men appear to be ‘missing’ in many ways. For example, where are the men who rarely, if ever, use preventive health services? Life expectancy at birth is a standard gauge of basic health used around the world. It reflects the extent to which people are able to live a long life and that a population

is healthy with adequate food and access to health care.

Over the past century, the greatest increase in life expec-tancy has come from improve-ments in infant and childhood survival from cleaner water, sanitation and other popula-tion health measures.

It is well known that men have lower life expectancy than do women. The gains in life expectancy show a strongly consistent gap of between 3.4 years to 7.1 years difference for women over men. That is, no matter how much increase in life expectancy there has been, men have always lagged by about five years.

Some of the reasons for this gap include men’s abil-ity to engage with danger. For example, suicide among men is about three times more common (more ‘successful’ if you will). Motor vehicle acci-dents take men’s lives more frequently. And heart disease strikes men on average 10 years before it does women.

The barriers that keep men lagging are multiple and var-ied. One of the most danger-ous is in men’s definition of what it means to be a “MAN” and how it is reinforced in

gender development from an early age. In addition, a man’s health is rarely touted as an important goal.

Another barrier is that preventive health are offered almost exclusively by female staff and aimed mostly at mothers and their children. Moreover, many of the servic-es are clinic-based and avail-able during men’s work hours.

Improving men’s health will come as we get better at pay-ing attention to the particular needs of men in regards of delivery modes and messages. Listening to men in focus groups, on the job and in the community makes sense. So does speaking in a language they recognize, and develop-ing innovative outreach servic-es and access to health care, particularly preventive care.

For many men, health comes last on their list of pri-orities. Unfortunately, that is doing no one any good. A focus group participant described it this way: “Health is something you don’t think about until you don’t have it.” Why wait?

Dr. Paul Martiquet is the Medical Health Officer for Bella Coola.

What about men’s health?

Fighting the Big One’ - Williams Lake man puts memories in print

The provincial NDP are challenging the B.C. Liberals to support a motion banning coastal oil drilling as well as bulk oil tanker traffic in Dixon Entrance, Hecate Strait and Queen Charlotte Sound in the upcoming legislative session in the wake of a similar motion passing in fed-eral Parliament.

On December 7, 2010, federal oppo-sition parties passed a New Democrat resolution in favour of banning bulk oil tanker traffic in the Dixon Entrance, Hecate Strait and Queen Charlotte Sound. North Coast MLA Gary Coons wants the provincial parliament to do the same.

Although the resolution has symbolic weight, it lacks any real political power.

Introduced by NDP MP Nathan Cullen, the motion, which passed 143-138, is non-binding and is likely to be ignored by the Conservative government.

Canada has had an unofficial mora-torium on tankers off B.C.'s north coast for decades. But Cullen said it is vital to enshrine the unwritten moratorium in legislation.

It comes as Calgary-based Enbridge Inc. has proposed sending up to 225 oil tankers every year out of the port of Kitimat to carry crude oil to new markets such as Asia and the western United States as part of its Northern Gateway project, which also includes a proposed pipeline from Alberta to the port.

“In light of the tremendous opposi-

tion from communities and first nations to projects like the Enbridge tar sands pipeline, it is time for the B.C. Liberals to step up to the plate and show British Columbians where they stand on pro-tecting our coast from catastrophic oil spills,” said Coons.

A coalition of First Nations, com-mercial fisheries and environmental groups from the Pacific Northwest Coast has called for a ban on oil tankers in the region, claiming the local economy is in jeopardy because of increased traffic.

More than 13,000 jobs are directly related to coastal industries, and gener-ate millions of dollars. Sport and com-mercial fishing generate more than $1 billion a year in revenue in British

Columbia, much of that in small rural communities without many other eco-nomic opportunities.

Recently Fraser River First Nations joined with coastal First Nations in opposing the Enbridge tar sands pipeline and crude oil supertankers on the north coast.

Enbridge has insisted the proposal is safe for the environment and will provide massive economic benefits for the region. The company's applica-tion will be assessed by a joint review panel established by the Minister of the Environment and the National Energy Board.

Opposition pressures provincial parliament to support tanker ban

Some fifty-four years ago Doug Wilson made a 90 Mile, 140 kilome-ter ocean voyage from Ocean Falls to Rivers Inlet in a little speed boat,. Through

Cousins Inlet, Fisher Channel, Fitz Hugh Sound, and eventu-ally Rivers Inlet.

The twelve-hour trip turned out to be an adventure. One Cylinder of his two

cylinder engines quit working; he had brought tools, spare parts, gas and oil but no food or water.

He ended up in waves so large that while in the trough all

he could see ahead of him was the deep green water of the wave. He wrote the memories of this trip into a little 40 page book he calls “Fighting the Big

One.” And yes, he did hook on to a prize salmon. Gutted, it officially weighed fif-ty-one pounds at the government weigh station.

The author hopes that those who might know him personally, or to those that might find a high risk true life fishing adventure story interesting, may each have a chance to share with him this very exciting fishing story. To check out the book, go to www.lulu.com.

BY LEONARD ELLIS

These days most all of us are looking for ways to make energy use in our homes more efficient and use less fuel. A lot of people in the Bella Coola Valley, the Chilcotin and throughout British Columbia heat their homes with woodstoves or wood furnaces as a practical, economical way to provide heat.

Recently through some research on the Internet I have realized a way to make your woodstove work better, burn less wood and keep your home warmer by reducing cold undesirable drafts that come in from around your doors and windows.

For those who are not familiar with the cold air intake concept and may be new to heating with woodstoves I would like to share this with you so you will be able to heat your home more efficiently and your winters may be a little more comfortable and enjoyable.

When your woodstove is burning you are basically creating a vacuum within your house and your woodstove is removing a lot of the fresh air/oxygen from the interior of your house and shooting it out the chimney. The colder it gets, the more you stoke your stove and the harder your fire burns. The harder your fire burns the more it sucks the air from the interior of your house into the firebox, which of course heads up the chimney.

This air needs to be replaced in the house as it develops a vacuum effect within your liv-ing area and the negative air pressure will pull cold air in to your house to compensate for the loss of air in your house. This is the reason why those cold air drafts come in around your

doors, windows and floors that you feel dur-ing the cold weather.

This simply creates unwelcome drafts throughout the exterior walls and floors of your home and makes the outer rooms that are furthest from your woodstove cold and draughty. If you leave a window open for fresh air in a room then that room gets particularly cold as the cold air slowly wanders through the room towards the natural draught of the woodstove chimney.

It is mostly older homes and cabins that this will apply to, but newer houses that are tightly sealed around windows and doors usu-ally have proper cold air vents to rectify this issue. Even turning on your electric stove fan to vent the fumes from cooking or turning on your clothes dryer will cause negative air pressure in a house.

The good news is that it is easy and rela-tively inexpensive to fix this problem. You will be able to create positive air pressure within your house to neutralize the problem and make your woodstove heat your house more efficiently by directly feeding it outside air. As well at the end of the day you will burn less wood to keep warm and achieve a more con-stant and comfortable temperature through-out your house.

All you need to do is run a four inch diam-eter cold air intake pipe to invite air from the outside of your home and pipe it to the bottom of your woodstove or in some cases the cold air intake of your wood furnace. The beauty of this installation is that materials are

A breath of fresh air for you and your woodstove

The installation of a cold air intake can make a positive difference in home heatingSEE WOODSTOVE ON PAGE 8

Page 8 | COAST MOUNTAIN NEWS | Thursday, January 6, 2011

not expensive, no fans or electrical needed and virtu-ally no upkeep/maintenance required. It is relatively easy to install so most handymen can easily accom-plish this installation once the routing of the cold air intake pipe is established.

To install a cold air intake, determine the shortest route from the woodstove to the outside air source preferably along the floor at the bottom of a wall to the outside wall you will go through.. The installation should be well thought out prior to making any holes as there are some important factors to keep in mind. If in doubt it is best to consult a person who is famil-iar with this application so that the installation works properly.

Once the hole in the wall location is determined and approved by all make a 4 1/4 inch diameter hole through the exterior wall of your house being sure to miss the stud, wiring and plumbing as you do not want to cut through that.

If it is not convenient to go through your wall you can also go straight down through your floor beneath the woodstove into your vented crawlspace, which is sometimes easier. However you must realize that by pulling air from your crawlspace you will be increas-ing the cold air flow into your crawlspace beneath your house which does not help to warm up your floor and it is not recommended. As well some of the very old homes have dirt crawlspaces and the air can be musty, certainly not the air you want to use in your home.

It is best to draw the raw fresh air directly from the outdoors as people generally close off the fresh air vents to the crawlspace in the wintertime to try to conserve any warmth from the ground under the house and eliminate any cold draughts coming in. You

can certainly go straight down from the woodstove through your floor and then run your pipe beneath your floor to an outside wall or air source.

Purchase some four inch diameter lengths of stove pipe or furnace pipe from the hardware store long enough to make the run from the hole in the wall to the woodstove. Keep in mind you want to keep every-thing tight to the wall and corners so you are not trip-ping over the pipe and make sure it is out of the traffic areas. Also keep in mind this pipe will be cold as it will have cold air traveling through it.

Once the hole is drilled through the wall simply slide the pipe through the hole in the wall to the out-side and then fit the pipe together with straight pipe and elbows and whatever angles are needed to arrive underneath the center of your woodstove. Put a 90 degree elbow on the exhaust end of the pipe and turn the 90 up so the draught of the cold air is hitting the bottom of your wood stove. As well put a 90 degree adjustable elbow on the outside inlet so you can adjust it to compensate for the winter wind which may be an East wind depending on where you live.

Affix a galvanized piece of screen with half-inch squares over the intake end of the pipe to keep out rodents. Make sure the holes in the screen are big enough so as not to restrict the air flow. Stuff fiber-glass insulation around the pipe where it goes through the wall so no unnecessary draughts enter the house or walls. When the pipe is all in place and it is working and needs no more adjustments drill small holes and use # 8 x 3/8 sheet metal screws to secure the pipes together the same as you would on the stovepipe of your woodstove.

The cold air from the outside will be drawn in to your pipe as a result of the negative air pressure in your house and will travel through the pipe to end up coming out below your woodstove. This inflow of air into your house helps to provide positive air

pressure within your house to neutralize the air loss caused by the woodstove. The cold air injected into your house from the outside is heated as it hits the underside of your woodstove and mixes with the hot rising air around your woodstove. This installation creates a direct, on demand feed of fresh outside air to replenish the interior air your woodstove is using. Surprisingly you can not feel the cold fresh air around the stove at all except right where it comes out of the pipe under the stove.

The healthy benefit is that it gives a real nice feed of oxygen and fresh air to the interior of your home while pressurizing your home against draughts. You will certainly notice the feel of the fresh air in your home as opposed to an oxygen starved stuffy home. In some homes it should be noted that there may be unhealthy carbon monoxide issues resulting from the woodstove using a large amount of the available oxy-gen and lack of fresh air circulation.

By all accounts the cold air intake does work very well and really makes a huge difference in heating the house. Provided you feed the cold air directly to the underside of your woodstove or the intake air vents of your woodstove, it works efficiently and I am sure you will be pleased with the results.

You will find that it simply neutralizes the air pres-sure in your house and greatly reduces the draughts especially in older homes that are draughty with not much, if any insulation and of course harder to heat. Overnight when your woodstove is dampened down the cold air intake does not pull too much cold air in to the house as there is not much air going up and out the chimney.

It is a simple concept of supply and demand. If you would like to see this installation at work or have any questions or comments call Leonard Ellis at 250-982-0098.
