Province to build bridge over Hummingbird
Relief: $3 million project addresses local concerns of future debris flows. By Lachlan Labere Eagle Valley News
The B.C. government has finally agreed to give Swansea Point residents what they have been calling for since last summer’s devastating flooding from Hummingbird Creek. On Tuesday, Transport Minister Todd Stone announced the province will be committing $3 million to the construction of a new bridge next year along the creek over Highway 97A. Stone made the announcement while standing next to the existing culvert beneath the highway which rapidly clogged during last year’s flooding, sending water and debris over the highway and into residential areas in Swansea Point. Following the flood event, the province contracted the firm Golder and Associates to assess the creek and provide recommendations for remedial work. Stone said Golder’s report is now public, and that it identifies the culvert as not meeting ministry requirements for flow capacity. “So today, along with colleague Greg Kyllo, MLA for Shuswap, I’m pleased to announce the government is remedying the situation; we are going to construct a new, clear-span bridge on Highway 97A over Hummingbird Creek,”
Announcement: Transportation Minister Todd Stone and Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo. Photo by Lachlan Labere said Stone. “This bridge will replace the existing culvert right behind me here. It will result in a higher level of dependability. “The structure will also increase capacity for Hummingbird Creek and will reduce the chance of a blockage like all of you experienced last year, thus ensuring that Highway 97A remains open for Shuswap residents and tourists as well.” In addition, Stone said the ministry will be doing additional work in the creek to further improve stream flows.
“Some of the gravel bed load will be removed from the creek near the outlet into Mara Lake. Approximately 120 metres of creek bank adjacent to Hummingbird Creek Resort will also be strengthened,” said Stone, noting the work will be on top of the $565,000-worth of stream improvements already completed in the creek since last year. Both works were applauded by locals gathered for the announcement. A number of them had attended a public meeting earlier this year, hosted by the ministry. At that meeting, MOTI district manager Murray Tekano went over remedial work proposed for the creek which did not include what locals wanted most: a bridge or, at the least, a larger culvert. Since then, the Swansea Point Community Association, through a Freedom of Information request, were able to acquire a 2003 report conducted by the province following the 1997 debris flow in Hummingbird Creek. In addition to a bridge that was proposed by the province but never built, the report recommends a 150,000-cubic metre debris berm with associated outlets and a retaining wall as the best option for mitigating future flood events. The report also states the frequency of deSee Minister hopes on page 2
BC Liberal Greg Kyllo spent more on his election campaign than Premier Christy Clark — if you only count her first campaign for Vancouver Point Grey. Kyllo spent a total of $113,280 on his successful effort to become MLA for the Shuswap according to documents released by Elections BC. Premier Christy Clark spent a total of $108,765 on her unsuccessful bid for the riding of VancouverPoint Grey. The election spending for the candidates in the Shuswap also mirrored the eventual results. The more a candidate spent on the campaign, the better their ranking in the polls. The NDP’s Steve Gunner spent a total of $36,495 on the campaign, BC Conservative Tom Birch spent $12,892, BC Green Party’s Chris George spent $9,354 and Johanna Zalcik of the Advocational Party spent $1,096. To fund his campaign, Kyllo had $34,734 contributed from all sources and $82,763 transferred directly from the BC Liberal Party. Gunner had a total of $4,800 in contributions, while $32,668 was transferred to his campaign from the BC NDP and the Shuswap BC NDP Constituency Association. BC Conservative Tom Birch received contributions of $6,985 from the BC Conservative Party and the BC Conservative Party Shuswap Association, while he self-funded $4,290 and had donations for the remainder. George also self-funded a significant portion of his campaign at $3,022. The remainder was funded through donations or local fundraisers, including a movie screening at the Salmar Classic. Zalcik’s campaign spending was listed as self-funded.

Input wanted for agriculture strategy By Lachlan Labere Eagle Valley News
Input is being sought for a strategy that will support the growth and sustainability of the agricultural sector on the Shuswap. On Monday, Sept. 9, the Columbia Shuswap Regional District’s economic development officer Robyn Cyr and Erica Crawford of the Sustainability Solutions Group will be hosting an open house for the development of the Shuswap Agriculture Strategy. It will run from 7 to 9 p.m. at Harmonious Homestead and Mt. Ida Hall. Crawford, the consultant hired to guide the strategy’s development, says one of the meeting’s key goals will be to gather a list agricultural assets in the Shuswap that could be utilized to support the industry. She says this may include assets not necessarily linked to agriculture. The meeting, says Crawford, is part of an ongoing effort to engage the agricultural community, as well as the general public, to look at what mechanisms could be built on to support food security and the sustainable growth of agriculture in the region. “From there, we’ll also be investigating best practices and ideas from elsewhere, and bringing that together to see how outside ideas can inform the already existing assets and
Land use: While much of the land in Sicamous is used for agricultural purposes, community representation is lacking for the Shuswap Agriculture Strategy. Photo by Lachlan Labere strengths of the industry and address the kind of issues we’ll identify,” says Crawford. The strategy will apply to Electoral Areas C through F (South Shuswap, Falkland-Salmon Valley, Sicamous-Malakwa and North Shuswap-Seymour Arm), as well as the City of Salmon Arm and the District of Sicamous, which are municipal partners through their respective representative economic development bodies. “Some of the communities will have official community plans. What this document will do is take that one step further and it will give us a really clear idea of where we want to go with agriculture into the future,” says Cyr. “It will complement the City of Salmon Arm’s OCP, it will complement the District of Sicamous. Some of our rural areas don’t have
OCPs, so as they move towards that, or start to maybe revise their landuse bylaws, this document will be in place to help guide them. It’s like having a guiding policy to make sure you stay on track and make sure everybody agrees that’s where you want to go.” Cyr says the strategy will include an implementation plan with achievable goals that will allow work to be done immediately. Asked about the issue of agricultural land disappearing for residential or uses by municipalities, Cyr says
the strategy is not about protectionism, but to help guide best land-use practices. “When I think of communities in the Lower Mainland, there’s been so much agricultural land taken, and there’s been subdivisions put on it… We need to be conscious of where we’re building subdivisions and, if there’s better land that could be developed for a subdivision that doesn’t have the types of soils that are very good for agriculture, then maybe we could look at shifting,” said Cyr, speaking hypothetically about

where the strategy is going. “It will be sort of a guide, a checklist. Are you sure this land can’t be used for this or whatever? “I think that’s our purpose, to insure what we have for agricultural land, stays as agricultural land.” Those unable to attend the Sept. 9 meeting are still encouraged to provide input. The website, www.growshuswap.com, has been set up for this. Cyr says they are trying to make sure every sector in every community is represented, and that input from Sicamous is particularly welcome as there is currently no one from that community involved with the Shuswap Agricultural Strategy Steering Committee.

Pot confessional of little substance to Canadians
I
t’s difficult to determine what’s more tragic: Justin Trudeau’s great pot reveal, or the moral high ground the prime minister and his fellow Cons have taken in response. By now, everyone in the nation who cares (and many who don’t) will have heard or read about the Liberal leader’s almost trite confession, how on the rare occasion over his 41 years, he’s smoked marijuana. “I think five or six times in my life that I’ve taken a puff — it’s not my thing. I think I’m in more trouble for admitting that I don’t drink coffee on social media today,” Trudeau said while speaking to reporters in Quebec City. Of course, this revelation from the Liberal’s prospective prime minister, who has already expressed a desire to shake up the nation’s arguably excessive drug laws (as have Canada’s Association of Chiefs of Police, though perhaps not to the same extent), became immediate fodder for the Conservatives. Justice Minister Peter MacKay says Trudeau has shown a “profound lack of judgement,” something MacKay is all too familiar with, given his own high-flying history as the nation’s defence minister, when he had no qualms about travelling executive class by air to a football game, or having a military helicopter to give him a lift from a fishing resort, all on the public dime. As for Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s response, that Trudeau’s “actions speak for themselves,” wow, talk about a case of the pot and the kettle. But as with MacKay, Harper speaks with authority, having established his own substantial list of outspoken actions which have done more to anger and alienate the nation than unite it. MacKay wasn’t entirely off the mark: Trudeau’s supposedly calculated confessional has predictably titillated public interest, leaving the nation’s more pressing issues in a cloud of second-hand smoke.

Nestlé’s water use prompts talk of well tax By Mark Rushton Black Press
Last summer I raised the issue of regulations being considered that would result in the metering, and thus fees to government, of private water wells. This summer, thanks to Nestlé Waters, the issue has moved from the “let’s try to bury this” at the municipal level, to provincewide awareness relating to what is assumed to be ‘unfettered’ use of groundwater. Nestlé, apparently, annually pumps some 265 million litres out of a well in Hope to sell in bottles throughout the country, and perhaps internationally. This amount of water, by the way, is roughly equivalent to the volume of 10 Olympic-size swimming pools which, knowing how much it rains in Hope, doesn’t seem that much. However, a huge multinational taking ‘our water for free’ has raised a hue and cry amongst those who de-
rive their water from a city tap, though I’d also guess most of them buy bottled water too. Why should we pay, when they get it for free is the refrain. They should be charged, and contribute to the tax stream, they say. Let’s look at the numbers. A bottle of water costs a buck a litre more or less at the retail level. That means Nestlé gets about 17 cents a litre … the rest is made up of retail mark-ups (and taxes). Thus to be fair, any kind of government levy on a litre of raw water couldn’t amount to more than a penny … a tax revenue flow of $2.65 million from Nestle. Not chump change I will admit, but by selling our water, possibly for international markets, we are placing ourselves on the proverbial slippery slope. For instance, what happens when one of the formerly highly touted runof-river hydro projects

discovers it can make more money selling ship-loads of water to foreign countries than it can by selling electricity. Whether the commercial revenue is 17 cents a litre, or more depending on who you sell it to, it equates to the price of oil at the wellhead, and you know how profitable Big Oil is. Factor in that water demand will only increase, thanks to climate change, and suddenly selling our water to foreign populations has great potential. If government decides it must charge Nestlé (and they are not the only ones bottling B.C. water), how can it then deny anyone else the same precedent-setting opportunity to sell our water from a private well? First Nestlé’s bottles, then tanker loads and then, perhaps, a pipeline to California? The only way to stop all of that is simple. Ban export of our water, in any form or vessel including plastic

bottles, outside our national boundaries. That avoids the slippery slope and negates the need for taxing and/or metering groundwater consumption (other than as a tax grab) because if large-scale commercial users are taxed, then individual private well owners likely will have to be charged as well. Government of course, based on the premise that it is their water … like they control the rain and snow … and thus to save our water, they need to monitor, meter and charge us for it. This, by the way, isn’t new stuff… but thanks to the Nestlé furor, owners of private wells across B.C. may soon find they don’t just own a water source but yet another revenue stream for villages, cities, regional districts and the province. Oh, and any tax on bottled water will be passed on to the consumer, an option not available to the homeowner on a well.

The District of Sicamous will be commencing a water main flushing program on the Mara Water System beginning August 26th, 2013 until September 13th, 2013 between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Monday to Friday. The District of Sicamous apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause but water main flushing is very necessary work to maintain water quality within the distribution system. Water main flushing may create pressure fluctuations and turbidity events within the system. High turbidity levels may impair the effectiveness of the disinfection treatment system. If disinfection is impaired, disease causing micro-organisms may escape disinfection resulting in an increased risk of intestinal illness. People with underdeveloped or compromised immune systems are at greatest risk, i.e. the elderly, newborn babies, pregnant women and their unborn and people undergoing immune suppressing medical treatment. Due to the above concerns, the District of Sicamous recommends that those water users with underdeveloped or compromised immune systems and those wishing to take extra precautions, boil all water (a rolling boil for one minute) or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, brushing teeth, making ice and for food preparation. If you are experiencing discoloration or cloudiness in your water, run your taps until the water clears. Any questions or concerns regarding these works may be directed to the District of Sicamous Public Works Department at 250-836-4105 or the Municipal Office at 250-836-2477. M.

This wasn’t Flatt’s first workshop with the club, who have come to appreciate his unique style of instruction. “When we were here last time, one of the gals gave me the nickname, the Monty Python of watercolour,” said Flatt, explaining he has an unconventional approach to teaching and watercolour, one that mixes a serious attention to detail with a disarming sense of humour that puts students at ease and allows them to open up. “Part of my mandate is to bring as much positive energy to a workshop as I can, make it a safe place to take risks, get rid of judgement, and just make it a place where you can be and thrive,” says Flatt. “And if you fail, so what, it’s not a big deal.” Club member Betty Hill says there’s always something to take away

from the workshops, and that she greatly enjoys watching Flatt and learning from him. Fellow club member Susan Miller, who specializes in acrylic, oil and drawing, said Flatt had helped open her eyes to different ways of looking at colour theory. “I think what he’s done is taken some of the intimidation out of it in terms of approaching it,” said Miller regarding her foray into watercolour. Flatt emphasizes to his students that it is the process of creation that is most important, and not the final product, which he says is only a souvenir of the journey. “Painting, first and foremost, should be fun,” says Flatt. “It shouldn’t be intimidating, it shouldn’t be scary and it shouldn’t put your teeth on edge. It should be fun. If you get something you’re proud of at the end, great. If you didn’t, oh well, it’s just a piece of paper. You can try again.” The Eagle Valley Brush and Palette Club meets regularly on Fridays at the Red Barn from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information, email, evbpclub@hotmail.com, or visit http://eaglevalleybrushandpalette.com.

Sicamous cadet earns highest honour Cadet Jesse Reid of Sicamous took top honours at this summer’s camp at the Vernon Army Cadet Training Centre. Reid, a member of the 2510 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps., was the recipient of the Army Navy Air Force Veterans (ANAVETS) Cadet Medal of Merit at the final parade and Sunset Ceremony at the training centre. The training centre’s spokesperson Wayne Emde calls ANAVETS Canada’s oldest veterans association with a proud history dating to 1840. “The ANAVETS Cadet Medal of Merit recognizes the top cadet during the summer’s training at VACSTC on each of the Instructorlevel courses,” Emde says in a news release, adding cadets are eligible for a $1,000 bursary that can be applied to any accredited university or community college. Reid was enrolled in a six-week Advanced Military Band program. “In addition to improving their musicianship skills, school of music cadets marched
in parades in Oliver and Penticton, and played several concerts in the greater Vernon area,” says Emde. “They also performed an evening concert for the rest of the battalion and provided the music for all graduation parades.” Emde says that over the summer, 1,200 army, sea and air cadets from across Western Canada spent up to six weeks at the Vernon centre, expanding on their training while developing new skills and forming friendships.
