A2- The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, June 19, 2002

VOLUNTEERS work filling sandbags at Jutta Smeltzer’s (below) Queensway
Dr. home. In 1999, thigh high flood water infiltrated her yard. Thanks to build-
ing a makeshift wall out of sandbags around her home no water damage was
incurred. She’s hoping the preventative measure will work again this year.

Sandbagging under way

“Hopefully this one’s not as bad,”
Smeltzer said.

In 1999 she placed thousands of sand-
bags in a makeshift wall surrounding her
house which prevented the water from
breaching her home.

She’s hoping the preventative mea-
sures will work equally well this year.

“We've got that advantage because
we're starting early,” Smeltzer said.

Water levels on the Skeena rose more
than 64 centimetres from June 13-15,
emergency response officials said.

By Saturday a reception centre had
been established at the Terrace Arena to
provide assistance to people who had left
their homes and to coordinate much nee-
ded volunteers to help with emergency
response.

Officials were desperate for volunteers
to help with sandbagging in the Terrace
area, ;

Smeltzer’s property last weekend along
with some of her neighbours and friends.

Terrace emergency program coordina-
tor Randy Smith said sustained high le-
vels of fast moving water is causing ero-
sion along the banks of the Skeena,

The water is undercutting the banks
making the riverside very unstable and
prone to breaking. Curious onlookers are
being asked to stay away from the banks

of the swelling river.

“A lot of peaple are going to the bank
_,to see what it’s doing,” Smith said. “They
“gould inadvertently fall in to the river, and
with how fast the water is flowing right

“now the chance of survival is low.”

Debris such as logs and even sizable
trees in the river combined with a low
water temperature make the river especi-
ally dangerous,

Smith advises residents to keep them-
selves, their children and their pets well
away from the water line.

“Considering the condition of the
banks people should stay away,” he said.
