Witnesses offer different stories on injury Differing witness statements are complicating a police investigation into an incident that sent one man to hospital with serious injuries.

Sicamous RCMP say the local man was injured sometime before 3 a.m. on Sunday, June 21, after he was

run over by a pickup truck.

“The end result is he did sustain some serious injuries to his leg, his pelvis, his spleen.

The extent of the injuries…were fairly serious,” said Const. Pat Pyper.

It’s the details of what happened prior

that are murky.

“There was a group walking down the frontage road,” said Pyper.

“It’s unclear, but one of the people in this group that was walking apparently – and depending who you talk to – ran out onto the road and was hit by this truck and run over. Some

other people in a different group stated this person ran out onto the road, jumped up onto the truck, tried to get in, fell, and was run over by the truck.”

Pyper noted alcohol was involved on the pedestrian’s part, but not the person in the truck.

Police continue to

investigate the matter.

“We’re going to talk to the people who were involved in it and we’re going to ascertain what happened the best that we can,” said Pyper, adding it’s very unlikely there will be any charges. “We’ll sift through it and decide what we’re going to do with it.”

Council abstains from regulating liquor outlets

By Lachlan Labere Eagle Valley News

Sicamous council has opted against a bylaw to prohibit a proliferation of liquor vendors downtown.

Last Monday, council discussed a letter from Brothers Pub and Liquor Store owner Richard Chmilar in which he expresses his concerns around the B.C. government’s recent overhaul of the province’s liquor laws – in particular, the decision to allow wine sales from grocery stores.

CALENDAR OF EVENTS This is a FREE listing of community events for not-for-profit organizations and paid advertisers.

Ph: 832-2131 Fax: 832-5140 Email: classifieds@ eaglevalleynews.com

DEADLINE: 2pm, Fridays

Chmilar explains an analysis by the Alliance of Beverage Licensees (of which he is a member), shows where wine is allowed to be sold in grocery stores, those sales represent 65 to 79 per cent of all wine sold in that jurisdiction. As a result, he says small distributors are squeezed out of the market.

With the passing in B.C. of Bill 22 – Special Wine Store Licence Auction Act, the province is now able to auction a limited number of licences for the sale of B.C. wine in

grocery stores.

“These licences are not subject to the onekilometre distance rule, meaning Sicamous could have a shopping mall with a private liquor store right next door to a grocery store with a large selection of wine,” says Chmilar.

“A high density of alcohol retailers can pose serious social consequences and will present significant concerns for the future of B.C.’s private retailers.”

Chmilar notes the City of Kamloops recently approved a bylaw to institute a one-

Coun. Jeff Mallmes was agreeable to this, stating there are already three liquor stores in close vicinity downtown.

Mallmes’ motion, however, involved establishing a one-kilometre distance for vendors of beer, wine and spirits, arguing “wine will just be the door that opens and then sooner or later the other ones will follow.”

Only Coun. Janna Simons and Mallmes supported the motion, defeated by Couns. Anderson, Todd Kyllo and deputy mayor Malcolm Makayev. (Mayor Terry Rysz was absent.)

Recreation programming underway

By Lachlan Labere Eagle Valley News

Jamie Sherlock has a pretty busy summer in the works for Sicamous youth.

The newly hired district recreation programmer began work on June 16, and is off and running with a couple of programs in the works. These include summer day camps for youth and swimming lessons.

The day camps will be targeted at two different age groups.

There will be a kids club for ages six to nine, and a pre-teen club for ages 10 to 14. The two clubs will be based out of the Sicamous curling rink and will rotate days of operation, with the kids club being held Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and the pre-teen Tuesdays and Thursdays one week, and then vice-versa the following week. Hours will be from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Sherlock says there will be a different theme

for the clubs each week.

“So we have things like getting to know your community, a couple of sports weeks, we have science week, an arts week, a cooking week, we have try-out week and we have an everything can happen week,” said Sherlock.

“Each week has different activities and different things the kids will be participating in.”

Field trips are also in the works, from visits with the local police station, fire hall and ambulance station (as part of getting to know your community), to a trip to the Enchanted Forrest and SkyTrek Adventure Park. Sherlock also hopes to work with local groups and athletes who might be willing to share their knowledge and skill with the kids.

And, when possible, the skills picked up one day may be parlayed into a different training opportunity the next. By doing this, Sherlock hopes to expose kids to things thy might not otherwise try themselves.

“There might be a Rachel Ray in there, there might be another hockey star in there, there might be a famous painter or poet or something like that,” says Sherlock. “I’m hoping with these camps, there will be things to pique their interest… something they wouldn’t normally try.”

Sherlock says one of her focuses is getting the kids interacting with seniors, with outings in mind that will “get the generations intermingling.”

Registration for swim lessons is expected to take place Monday, July 6 at the district hall. Sherlock says she has someone selected to provide instruction and hopes to have that person available during the registration date to talk to people and help them choose what levels to enrol in. The intent is to run swim lessons all summer, with each level spanning a two-week period. Sherlock noted lessons will be set up

so people won’t have to take them in consecutive two-week periods.

Looking beyond the summer kids clubs and swim lessons, Sherlock says she plans to reach out to the local clubs, youth and seniors to see what interests are out there and work with them to build more programs.

“I’m just kind of getting my feet wet, but I’m open to any suggestions so they can contact me here, they can phone me, come see me, pop me an email, whichever they prefer, and I’m open to see how we can make things work in the community,” she says.

Sherlock can be reached at the district hall at 250-836-2477.

OPINION

Published by Black Press Ltd. 171 Shuswap Street NW, Salmon Arm, B.C.

Positive approach to pot distribution

R

egardless of where one stands on the marijuana-legalization debate, it is simply irrefutable that the City of Vancouver’s decision to regulate its burgeoning medical-marijuana dispensary business is positive.

There are about 100 storefront marijuana dispensaries operating in Vancouver and they exist because the police in that city have taken a stance to concentrate on real crime, rather than spend precious time seeking to shut down the stores.

By seeking to regulate the stores — not the product sold — the City of Vancouver wants to ensure regulation is strict and that locations are away from schools, community centres and other marijuana dispensaries.

With a permit fee of $30,000, Vancouver is ensuring it is more difficult, not easier, for such businesses to operate in the city.

Compare the city’s rational response to the fact marijuana is on its way to being decriminalized or legalized to the sad histrionic viewpoint of federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose, whose ridiculous warnings would be more at home in a Reefer Madness script.

Like her Conservative peers. Ambrose sticks to the failed war-on-pot stance that has done nothing but make gangsters rich and give regular people criminal records.

Ambrose opposed Vancouver’s plan to regulate its medical-marijuana dispensary business, noting marijuana is illegal and claiming such regulation will increase pot use and addiction.

Of course, Ambrose is wrong.

Regulation and the stiff permit fee that will accompany it will likely result in fewer medical marijuana dispensaries in Vancouver, so Ambrose’s fear of skyrocketing addiction rates will probably not come to fruition.

Speaking of addiction, has Ambrose perused the latest statistics on death and damage that results from legal alcohol?

B.C. still the wild west for elections

By Tom Fletcher News Columnist

VICTORIA – The man behind “HarperPAC” says it lived and died in a few days to make a point about third-party advertising in Canadian politics.

HarperPAC ran one radio ad, accusing Liberal leader Justin Trudeau of blaming voters for his declining popularity, and suggesting that Trudeau’s “months of mistakes” are a likelier cause. No kidding.

HarperPAC spokesman Stephen Taylor, who like Stephen Harper before him has worked for the National Citizens’ Coalition, announced the end of the project last week.

“We have contributed to a new discussion about political financing in a fixed election era that is critical to our democracy,” Taylor said. “We note that this discussion only occurred once a right-wing analog of the left’s PAC-style efforts emerged on the scene.”

Indeed, it was when HarperPAC emerged that muttering began about “dark money” in Canadian politics. Unifor, Anti-Conservative front LeadNow and the many faces of the Tides Foundation somehow failed to ignite much discussion in the Canadian media.

Taylor launched the bid in response to the emergence of “Engage Canada,” a union-financed action committee that he said was part of a broader effort by the left to oust the Conservatives. Engage Canada portrays itself as a brave alternative to shadowy rightwing groups such as Working Canadians, which has also run pro-Conservative ads.

Engage Canada’s latest ad plays on the union movement’s cherished “inequality” theme, selecting statistics to portray the wealthy as making out far better than the rest of us in Harper’s Canada.

ments have led to all this.

Scheduled elections every four years have finally taken effect at the federal level, after a series of minority governments. And courts have repeatedly struck down efforts to restrict third-party spending in the so-called “pre-campaign” period as an unwarranted restriction on free speech.

The B.C. Liberal government tried and failed several times to restrict thirdparty spending, largely in response to the milliondollar tirades of the teachers’ union. Former attorney general Wally Oppal used to warn about Americanstyle influence by wealthy interest groups targeting scheduled elections.

Their strategy was not so much to keep corporate money out of B.C. politics as to keep it flowing through the B.C. Liberal Party.

This spring, the B.C. Liberal majority passed Bill 20, the Election Amendment Act. Not only did this recognize the freedom of

outsiders to weigh in on elections, it also did away with pre-campaign restrictions on registered political parties and candidates.

NDP MLA Leonard Krog warned that this sets the stage for “some mad Wild West show,” with politicians so desperate to raise money they start looking for the B.C. equivalent of renting out the Lincoln bedroom in the White House.

The big difference between the pre-campaign ads for this fall’s federal election and the next provincial vote in 2017 is that corporate and union donations to parties and candidates have been eliminated at the federal level. That means more money available for third-party campaigns, but it seems to be fairly well distributed between the two sides, the Conservatives and everybody else.

Here in the Wild West, nothing’s going to change as long as the B.C. Liberals are in the saddle.

Grant is hopeful Weichel will have the clinic open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Sicamous residents will have an opportunity to meet Weichel at an open house on Saturday, July 11, from 10 a.m to 2 p.m. at the clinic.

Grant says he has mixed feelings about leaving Sicamous, which he says will always feel like his kids’ home.

“A lot of good stuff happened in our lives because of living in Sicamous,” said Cameron. “I met a lot of good people there. Yeah, it’s going to be sad.”

Around town

There have been other shifts and adjustments that have occurred on the business front in Sicamous.

Dave and Shirley Gross have been hopping busy since moving their restaurant, Grandma’s and Grandpa’s, into the site of the former Eagle Pass Landing building near the Shell station on Eagle Pass Way. Meanwhile, Century 21 is having their grand opening today, July 1, at their new location at the end of Main Street at the site of the former RoundAbout Cafe.

As a guiding document that seeks to address social, economic and environmental goals within the community, the Official Community Plan (OCP) covers topics such as growth management, agriculture, residential development, commercial and residential waterfront development, downtown and highway redevelopment and the environment. The OCP directs the District and Council toward common goals and purpose when evaluating community growth and development.

In order to provide a draft document, that reflects the desires for the future growth and development in the community, public input is vital. This will be an opportunity to explore components of the existing OCP and to look towards the future growth of the community.

The 2nd Public Open House is scheduled for Thursday July 9, 2015 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. This will be an opportunity to explore components of the existing OCP and to look towards the future growth of the community. Please plan to attend!

Leaving Monashee Chiropractic will be an adjustment for Dr. Cameron Grant.

After serving Sicamous for 13 years, Grant says he’s sold his Parkland Mall clinic.

Six years ago, Grant and wife Oryana took over the Aberdeen Wellness Clinic in Vernon.

The following year, they moved to Vernon.

But Cameron said he did not want to leave his Sicamous patients with nothing.

“I had a lot of my patients ask me if I was just going to close it,” said Cameron. “They kind of said, ‘why are you even keeping it open?’ One of the reasons I kept it open is… a lot of my patients in Sicamous can’t travel.

And if I closed it, there would be nothing for them. So I didn’t want to do that, so I kind of just hung on until I could find someone to take over. I never considered closing it.”

Taking over from Cameron is Dr. Claude Weichel.

“I used to work with him in Alberta when I first graduated,” said Cameron. “He’ll be good. Lots of experi-

Cameron, with summer dresses, hats and assorted giftware. Cameron worked at Happy Corkers for three years before taking over the business on May 1. She said she was looking for a new venture and, having made her own wine for years and years, the business was a good fit.

The storefront also provided an opportunity to integrate her gift basket business.

Full Speed Rentals & Marina is also under new ownership. Bertram Berzins and Moe Collins are partners in the venture. A B.C. boy living in Alberta, Berzins said he, and Collins, were looking for something to bring them back and allow them to get “plugged in to the community.”

Berzins said their focus is more about the experience, making sure it’s amazing for everyone. He plans to do some promotional work with seniors groups.

He said the business has undergone a lot of renovations and has been made more accessible.

Berzins and Collins welcome feedback, keen to hear what services people would like to see, or of ways things might be done better.

Water requires our respect and protection

GAIA GARDENING MARGO WESTAWAY

It’s always early when I drop my hubby off at the airport in Kelowna, so I took my usual time getting home so that I could spend time poking around new places and enjoy the Okanagan Valley.

The air was already warm enough for a swim after having my breakfast in Winfield, so I stopped at the empty beach in Oyama and had a dip in the glassy-calm lake. But I wasn’t there alone. A man in a small boat and an osprey were fishing nearby, ducks were cruising the shorelines, swallows were making quick dives to scoop up a little water to drink and dragonflies were darting about all around me.

After treating myself to some fresh cherries at Gatzke’s Farmers Market, I continued along lovely Kalamalka Lake (which means ‘lake of many colours’) and decided to snoop out the Sparkling Hill Resort that our friends keep talking about and where Sir Anthony Hopkins stayed while he was making his movie in Enderby. That windy road offered the singing of meadowlarks and scenes of green pastures full of grazing cattle and horses, with a deer in the distance, the occasional farm house, small ponds

full of bull rushes and buzzing insects and a large water reclamation pond for the now very large Predator Ridge Golf Course development that I had to drive through to get there.

After that was another quick stop to see the Allan Brooks Nature Centre where gopher, snake and marmot signs were posted along the gravel road, a rest at the river in Enderby and another splash in Mara Lake to cool off again in the afternoon heat.

Water is everywhere in the Okanagan and Shuswap valleys, but it should never be taken for granted that these lakes and rivers will always be clean and full today and into the future.

El Nino and La Nina are both terms referring to large-scale changes in sea-surface temperatures across the central and eastern tropical Pacific and created by very complex dynamics that are still not fully understood today.

An El Nino event happens when the tropical trade winds die out and ocean temperatures become unusually warm and unstable. On the flip side is La Nina, which occurs when the winds blow unusually hard and the sea temperature becomes colder than normal. They usually last around nine to 12 months, occur every two to seven years and have been happening for at least 125,000 years.

These events can have major impacts on global weather patterns and marine ecosystems, as well as creating many natural disasters – so they can be pretty tough on the planet, critters

and people. This year is an El Nino year, and it’s possible that it could be the worst one on record, going right into 2016.

This means we’re not only in for a hotter and drier summer – particularly in the Prairies – but also an extreme forest fire season and possible crop losses. This will also make it even worse for California.

Water scarcity has already hit many places in all three western provinces due to low snow packs and little rainfall, but this is only just the beginning of it.

The low water levels in our lakes, rivers and underground aquifers will not only affect people, but also all the other micro and macro life forms that depend on it just as much as we do.

We will all need to do our best to conserve and properly utilize the water, so we farmers, gardeners and homeowners can do our part by using mulches, watering with the proper amounts and at the right times, making sure our sprinklers are hitting the lawn and not the road and even changing our plants to suit a nowdryer climate. Also keep in mind the fertilizers and ‘cides’ we use end up as ‘nutrients’ in our groundwater and lakes, creating pollution problems and bad algae blooms.

As I took in the expansive views of the Okanagan Lake from the deck of that fancy resort, I saw new housing developments being carved out of the mountains in all directions, further increasing the demands on the water supply.

It really struck me then that this precious

resource is not only vital for survival to us and so many other life forms in this beautiful pocket of British Columbia – but how much quality it adds to our life with all the wonderful food, flowers and beverages we can produce here, the way we can play, the livelihoods it supports and the breathtaking views it offers.

Water – waste not, want not as they say.

We need to respect it and protect it to not only continue enjoying this amazing lifestyle we have here, but because so many creatures depend on it just to live.

SPORTS

Billets needed for Sicamous Eagles a hockey team,” said March.

A guide is available for billets, as well as a cookbook to help with the provision of players’ dietary needs.

“Most of them are big eaters – some of them come with special food needs and we’re trying to address that,” said March, adding players typically love their salads, pastas, protein and desserts. “They know what they need in the way of foods and nutrition and most of the are pretty regimented.”

Billets are not required to provide transportation. And, if any issues should arise between players and their

Junior Golf Night returns and parents are also needed to chaperone the kids.

billets, March says they will be taken care of immediately.

“We run a really tight ship: no alcohol, no smoking, no chew and there is a curfew,” said March. “I believe it is still 11 p.m., and if the kid doesn’t abide by the rules they go bye-bye.”

From her experience, March says billets are more inclined

The Sicamous Eagles Junior Hockey Club is seeking billet families for the 2015/16 season.

While the management and coaching staff is busy putting together a team for the new season (the Eagles main camp runs Aug. 17 to 19 in Sicamous), the club is trying to find homes for the chosen few who make the team.

Club president says 15 beds are needed.

And while there are families in Enderby that have billeted in the past, and have been really appreciated, there’s a desire to find more homes

in or closer to town this year.

“The new coach (Ty Davidson) wants two practices a day, morning and afternoon, so it would be a lot more convenient if we have more homes in Sicamous,” said March.

Billets are expected to provide a bed, pillow, blankets/comforter/ bathroom towels and food. To compensate, billets receive $500 a month from the club through players’ parents.

“I did it for 18 years – never made any money but the you don’t do this to make money, you do this for the boys, because without billet homes you can’t have
