Everyone was onboard with the Shuswap Watershed Council’s water quality monitoring program.

But how to pay for it was the basis of much discussion at an Aug. 20 on-the-road meeting of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District board in Golden.

Directors approved a Shuswap Watershed Water Quality Service Establishment Bylaw, but not the way staff recommended.

Staff had recommended an assessment-based tax which, based on the average assessed value of 1,700 parcels in the District of Sicamous and electoral areas C, D, E and F, would have been $10.30 annually for the average household.

“But after some discussion, the board determined the preferred method to be a parcel tax,” said CSRD chief administrative officer Charles Hamilton. “The differential between a parcel tax and a property value tax for the average assessed residential property was minimal, in fact slightly lower for the assessment scheme.”

Salmon Arm will make an annual contribution of $40,000 for three years through a contractual arrangement, but will do so through its own taxation process.

CSRD would enter into a similar contract with the Thompson Nicola Regional District, but no time frame has been set yet.

The bylaw was given three readings and will now go to the Ministry of Sport and Cultural See Voters on page 2

Police warn against confronting suspect Street. The man was wearing a balaclava and RCMP report it appeared that he might have been entering vehicles, although his exact intentions are unknown.

The homeowner confronted the suspect outside and the suspect

sprayed him with bear spray.

The spray incapacitated the homeowner, who received medical assistance from B.C. Ambulance Service personnel. Meanwhile, police made patrols, but were unsuccessful in locating the suspect.

Voters can petition against plan Continued from front Development for approval.

After the approval is obtained, the CSRD has to initiate an alternative approval process (APP).

“That will commence after we receive approval and everyone

will have the opportunity to petition against the tax if they don’t support it,” said Hamilton. “Staff recommended the APP process given that, in the larger scheme of things, the annual requisition is not overly significant and there appears to be broad public support for the water quality

program generally.

If more than 10 per cent of those eligible to file petition against the initiative do so, CSRD will be unable to proceed with the bylaw.

“In such circumstances, the decision for the CSRD would be to go to a full-scale referendum,” Hamilton says.

Campers continue to defy fire ban

Jubilee Super Sweet Freezer Corn $ 4 Dozen Bags ..............................

Okanagan-Shuswap: Conservation officers say there will be zero tolerance.

BlaCk prEss

Despite all the education and signage around a ban that has been in place for 50 days now, people continue to break the law when it comes to campfires.

The campfire ban has been in place throughout the region since July 3, yet conservation officers issued 13 tickets so far in August alone and received 42 complaints of campfires.

“There is zero tolerance now,” said Sgt. Josh Lockwood, conservation officer who covers Kelowna to Seymour Arm and to the Nakusp ferry.

“We are just asking people to be vigilant and abide by the regulations, they are there for a purpose.”

With fires burning throughout the province this summer, it’s not likely the ban will be lifted anytime soon.

But people still aren’t getting the message.

In fact two tickets were issued Tuesday evening in the Aberdeen plateau, right after a Global Okanagan newscast on the fact that people continue to flout the ban.

And ignorance is no excuse, says Lockwood.

“It’s on every highway sign as you come into the province, you can’t travel a back road without seeing a sign and lots of communities have done their own (signs).”

One of the recent tickets issued was for an abandoned fire on Irish Creek Road (just north of Vernon).

The individual responsible for the fire was located and issued a $345 ticket for having the fire, plus another $173 for failure to extinguish a fire.

“We’ve had people using burning barrels burning garbage, we had one golf course that did a bunch of trimmings after a storm and burned during the day.”

While complaints are a main source of how officers are alerted to

fires, they are also discovering fires in remote areas on their own.

Those who are caught around a campfire are reminded that they too are on the hook for the $345 fine.

“Even if they didn’t start it, every person who uses that fire is also ticketed,” said Lockwood.

Some of the excuses Lockwood has heard include: “I didn’t start it. It was here when I got here.”

“It’s out now, it was just a little one we cooked a hotdog on.”

“What’s camping without a campfire?”

“I have a fire but I know how to put it out.”

But even if the fire is out when officers arrive, if there a witness to the fire, tickets will be issued.

While they are out, officers are also finding additional illegal activities, such as impaired driving on back roads, which they will issue a 24-hour drivers licence suspension for. And it’s not just land activity that is keeping conservation officers busy. They are also patrolling the lakes.

The North Okanagan Enhanced Policing Patrols cover Mabel, Sugar and Mara Lakes as well as Cosens Bay (it is in addition to the Okanagan and Shuswap patrols).

Since the enhanced patrols started at the end of June until Aug. 8 they have checked 153 vessels, 426 people, issued 56 violations, 202 warnings and ordered 19 boats off the water for either alcohol consumption or safety issues.

Tickets are issued for a variety of reasons from no life jackets (which paddle boarders are also ticketed for) to no pleasure craft operator card or no registration to towing without a spotter, littering and angling without a licence.

“There’s not a lot of compliance,” said Lockwood, as there are usually few boats and operators out on the water which meet requirements.

Two Bifocals

Two Single Visions = $349

Changes are in the works for the SmartCentres shopping centre in Salmon Arm. A Winners store and a Dollarama at the site are getting closer to reality, while a third Salmon Arm Tim Hortons restaurant is projected for late next year.

City staff report that a building permit was issued for Dollarama on Aug. 17, with a construction value of approximately $1.18 million. Four days later, on Aug. 21, a building permit with a construction value of nearly $3 million was issued for Winners.

As for Tim Hortons, Kelly Moores, owner of the two existing Salmon Arm franchises, confirms the plan is to put a Tim Hortons at SmartCentres likely in October or November of 2016.

“Things can change all the time so I wouldn’t say it’s a done deal yet,” he cautioned.

Moores says he predicts it will be a smaller store than the other two, with a double drive-thru, or two lanes of drive thru.

“It’ll just offer another alternative for customers on that end of town; because of the closeness to other retail, there will be a lot of evening business.”

He noted it will also be closer for people staying in cabins in areas such as the North Shuswap, and will cater to the industrial area on the west side of Salmon Arm. He expects it will employ about the same number of staff as the other two Tim Hortons.

“We typically run with 30-plus employees per location.”

Sandra Kaiser, vice-president of corporate affairs for SmartCentres, also confirmed a Tim Hortons.

“Yes, Tim Hortons along with Winners and Dollarama will be tenants on our site. As soon as I have more precise timing of openings, I will let you know,” she stated Monday in an email.

More penalties on the way

By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS

VICTORIA – The B.C. legislature is being recalled Sept. 28 for a fall session that will likely deal with increasing penalties for distracted driving and careless smoking.

The B.C. government has signalled its intention to increase penalties in both areas. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton announced preliminary results of public consultation on distracted driving penalties at the end of June, with 90 per cent of respondents calling for stiffer penalties for using smartphones while driving.

Anton said the current $167 ticket for distracted drivers is not sufficient for repeat offenders, who could have their vehicles impounded. Saskatchewan has introduced a one-week seizure of the vehicle for drivers who get two distracted driving tickets less than a year apart.

After dry conditions sparked an early start to the B.C. forest fire sea-

son, Forests Minister Steve Thomson announced a review of penalties for violating campfire bans and tossing lit cigarettes.

Thomson appointed Prince George-Mackenzie MLA Mike Morris, a former RCMP superintendent, to lead a similar review of those penalties. Morris said he was considering the vehicle impoundment option for careless tossing of cigarette butts, and prohibiting people from camping in provincial parks if they violate campfire restrictions.

Fire bans allow use of camp stoves or barbecues with briquets for cooking, but conservation officers continue to find people lighting wood fires that give off sparks and can spread in dry conditions.

The fall session will complete an unusually busy year for the B.C. legislature, which was recalled in July to authorize a project development agreement for the Pacific Northwest LNG gas export project proposed for Prince Rupert.

salute to those fighting wildfires

The deaths of three firefighters in Washington State are a reminder of how much these brave people are putting on the line, on both sides of the border. Last Wednesday, three U.S. Forest Service firefighters died after their vehicle crashed and was likely caught by flames as they battled the Okanogan complex of fires near the town of Twisp. Four other firefighters were injured including one who was taken to hospital in critical condition.

They were on the initial attack, trying to stop a fire before it could threaten nearby communities – in some cases, their hometown.

Firefighters know how dangerous their jobs can be, whether it is day-to-day operations of our local department or forestry service crews battling major wildfires. But it’s so very easy for the public to take their work for granted, and it’s stunning when such a tragedy happens. Considering the level of danger, it is amazing that relatively few are lost.

Evacuees from the Rock Creek blaze and other fires also are dealing with their personal adversity in loss of homes and livelihoods or the uncertainty of not yet knowing what has been lost. But we who aren’t directly exposed to the fires, complaining about the smoke and ash in the air, and the other inconveniences brought on by fires burning in our region and south of the border, might imagine the risk is small.

The deaths of Tom Zbyszewski, Rick Wheeler and Andrew Zajac show us how great the risk firefighters face is, and continues to be for the thousands of firefighters battling blazes in B.C. and Washington. As you read this, they are still digging in with shovels and axes in searing heat and choking smoke, struggling against so many fires it is hard to keep track.

We extend our thanks to these brave men and women who are putting their lives in front of wildfires to protect people and property from devastation and death.

OpiniOn

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

reading the sun and the moon Each morning for the past week or so I have walked out the door where I’m staying here in Fort Steele to look up at an eerie, fiery red ball hanging in the sky. It is the sun, covered by a hazy shroud of smoke from all the fires burning just south of here.

I cannot help but think about all the fires that I covered when I was still at the Observer. Those images will stay with me forever.

In the evenings, however, I have also been able to enjoy just sitting out in the backyard, thankful for the cool breezes that have been blowing through. The night air is a welcome respite from the hot days and smoke-filled skies. Sunsets too have been strangely interesting. Some nights the whole sky seems to be on fire, especially when there is a bit of cloud in the sky. Even the moon has taken on an eerie, other world, reddish-orange appearance. It is strangely interesting looking up at the moon, bathed in its crimson shroud of red. I don’t know how many times I used to sit in my front yard in Salmon

The GreaT OuTdOOrs James Murray Arm on a clear summer’s evening looking up at the moon, contemplating the true meaning of life or some such nonsense.

Some years back, however, I did learn to take the moon into consideration when I was planning my fishing trips. I now always make a point of consulting something called the Solunar Tables when making my plans.

The word ‘solunar’ comes from sol (sun) and lunar (moon). The basis for the Solunar Tables is derived from the concept that the sun and moon affect the tides, and that the rise and fall of the tides are caused by the force or pull exerted by the moon.

The theory of the Solunar Tables was developed by John Alden Knight, author of The Modern Angler: Including the Solunar Theory, 1936. Initially, Knight compared 33 factors that seemed to influence the behavior of fish and caused them to become more active. Of those, he further examined three: sunrise and sunset, phases of the moon and tides. From those he developed the Solunar Tables. To substantiate his theory, Knight systematically compared the timing of 200 record catches and found that more than 90 per cent were made during a new moon (even when one was not visible). This is the time when the influence of solunar periods is strongest. Because of the interaction of many solar and lunar cycles, no two days, months or years are ever the same.

June has a greater combined solunar influence than any other month. During a full moon, the sun and moon are nearly opposite each other and throughout the course of the day either one is nearly always on the horizon. Whereas, during a new

moon, both celestial bodies are in near-perfect alignment travelling through the sky together with their forces and influences combined. If one is willing to concede the sun and moon affect the tides in the oceans and seas, then it should not be too much of a leap of faith to believe they exert a similar influence on inland bodies of water.

Scientists concur that fish in both tidal and non-tidal waters are affected by the sun and moon at specific times of the day.

The Solunar Tables were developed from this relationship. Each day is divided into four periods: two in the morning and two in the afternoon. There are two types of periods, one known as the major period and the other referred to as the minor period. The major period is usually of approximately two-hours duration and the minor lasting one to oneand-a-half hours. Each day has two major and two minor periods. The trick is to know when these periods will occur on any given day, and then, plan your fishing trips accordingly.

VIEW POINT Time to get off the sidelines

Richard Rolke At a time when those wanting to be our next MP are out on the hustings, Mel Arnold’s approach is interesting.

The Conservative candidate is cherrypicking which forums he attends leading up to the Oct. 19 election.

“We’re trying to balance our time, we have a busy schedule and we’re doing as much door-knocking as possible and meeting people one-on-one,” said Arnold in a recent article.

He has committed to forums hosted by the Greater Vernon and Salmon Arm chambers of commerce but, as of press time, he still hasn’t said yes to an

Cherryville to Falkland and from Coldstream to Chase and the North Shuswap. Each community, no matter how big or small, is distinct and they want to hear from the election hopefuls directly.

By not attending a forum in one of these communities, a candidate can be perceived as not taking the community seriously. Such a move can feed a common attitude that the larger towns are more important than their smaller, rural counterparts.

Beyond geography and civic identities, some forums focus on specific issues such as the environment. If a candidate doesn’t attend, what does that potentially say about the candidate and their attitudes towards that issue?

Of course there will be those who will try and link Arnold’s activities to those of Conservative leader Stephen Harper, who is boycotting some na-

tional leaders’ debates.

But I suspect Arnold is legitimately trying to balance his schedule and not controlling the message as occurs at the senior level.

In the interview, Arnold didn’t appear concerned that selectively attending forums will negatively impact his chances, particularly in Vernon where the Salmon Arm resident isn’t widely known.

“We’re spending hours and days doorknocking throughout the riding, meeting people face-to-face and we’re in Vernon almost every week at the Avenue Market,” he said.

But while forums aren’t the be-all and end-all, they do provide an opportunity to appear before a captive audience, especially in the smaller communities. It’s like speed dating for the electorate wanting to become informed. Door-knocking is a key campaign strategy but it’s hit and miss as people may not be home or the reception

Campaign trail littered with ‘empty bottles’ When there’s a drought, people understand the long-term implications but still need to be prodded into cutting back on their water consumption. Most people do it willingly and a few cheat. But

none of us expect the restrictions to be lifted until the reservoirs are once again filled.

Where does this collective common sense go when there’s an election? Canada is teetering on the edge of a

may not be overwhelming if you show up during Wheel of Fortune.

The other thing to consider if you are a candidate is, why would you give your competitors an advantage? But that’s exactly what you are doing if they show up at a forum and you don’t.

Hopefully Arnold will free up some time in his busy schedule and not disappoint the volunteer organizations that put the forums together or the public he wants to represent.

invite to participate in a forum hosted by the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Society.

“Why can’t he take part in two?” said Sigrid-Ann Thors, society president, of Arnold.

“I don’t think that’s a great problem when running a 78-day campaign.”

And Thors raises a valid point as previous campaigns were about 37 days long and candidates generally were able to juggle the various demands placed on them, whether it was forums, teas or shaking hands and kissing babies.

This time around, the campaign is twice as long so there should be sufficient time to fit everything in, and perhaps even a little bit more.

Arnold has indicated that he’s receiving multiple requests to appear at forums throughout the riding.

That’s likely the case, but it’s also the nature of the beast in a vast riding that ranges from

Firefighters save home

By Tracy Hughes

MARKET NEWS STAFF

Quick action by the Tappen Sunnybrae Fire Department prevented the loss of a home and shop on Ford Road on Monday evening.

At 4:19 p.m., the call came in that a tree had blown onto a hydro line and the resulting sparks ignited a forested area.

Seventeen firefighters responded and were able to put water on the blaze right away; however, due to the gusty winds, other fire departments were called as back up.

“Then Mother Nature helped us out. Just as we got water on the fire, the wind died down,” says Fire Chief Kyle Schneider.

This enabled the firefighters to get a handle on the blaze, and then they dug a fire guard around the nearby home and shop. The fire came within 10 feet of the shop before it was contained.

Firefighters then sprayed the area with a special foam to keep the area moist and help prevent any hot spots

from flaring up.

The homeowner and his dog were outside the residence when the fire department arrived, but the man was worried for his cats inside.

“The firefighters worked their butts off.

I’m very impressed…

The homeowner sure was lucky,” Schneider says.

Dates to remember Shuswap Lake Estates Community Association hosts a public information meeting with BC Timber Sales regarding plans to harvest trees on the hill behind Blind Bay Grocer on Balmoral Road at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 27 at Shuswap Lake Estates Lodge in the lower-level banquet room to provide residents with an opportunity to voice their concerns and ask questions about proposed harvesting plans. Shuswap Trail Alliance, fire suppression specialists

and White Lake Residents Association rep Bryon Every will be on hand to help provide answers to residents’ questions.

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING

Don’t let low energy keep you down (NC) Now that the sun is shining and the birds are singing, it’s time to get outside for some favourite summer activities. Is a lack of energy holding you back?

Men over 40 often deal with fatigue, poor concentration, body and mood changes, and/or reduced libido, and attribute these changes to age. For some, age isn’t the only issue. Changes in energy, mood and motivation can be caused by a number of other factors, as follows: Sleepless nights: Sleep plays an integral role in our day-to-day lives, and getting enough is as vital for fueling the body as food is. Losing even one hour of sleep a night affects your ability to think properly and respond quickly. It also impacts your cardiovascular health, energy levels, and ability to fight infections. While sleep requirements vary from one person to the next, it’s important to get enough for the body to function optimally.

Got the blues: Depression can affect

how a person thinks, feels or acts.

Changes in mood and energy that get in the way of everyday activities, productivity at work, or cause strain on relationships, should be addressed with the help of a healthcare professional.

Couching around: Lack of physical

activity can impact physical and mental health. An analysis by University of Georgia researchers found overwhelming evidence that regular exercise plays a significant role in increasing energy levels and reducing fatigue. Making time for exercise is important to improve mood, control weight and help your body fight infection.

Hormones on hiatus: Hypogonadism, also known as low testosterone, is estimated to affect up to 25 per cent of men in Canada over the age of 40.

While testosterone levels naturally and gradually decrease to a degree with age, it’s important to be aware of the role this hormone plays in the body. Symptoms of abnormally low levels of testosterone include fatigue or lack of energy, low sex drive, depressed mood, decrease in bone density, increases in body fat, loss of muscle mass and sexual dysfunction.

Men over the age of 40 with any of these symptoms should speak to their doctor. www.newscanada.com

TIPS TO HELP PREVENT SUICIDE Does your youth: • seem very unhappy, worried, guilty, fearful, irritable, sad, or angry?

• feel helpless, hopeless, lonely, or rejected?

• complain about being a bad person or have a negative self-image?

• blame him or herself for things beyond their control?

• want to be alone often or have trouble getting along with friends?

• have trouble concentrating?

• have trouble relaxing or sleeping?

• exhibit aggressive, impulsive, rebellious, and/ or violent behaviour?

TAMMY HOWKINS

problems or mental illness, suicidal behaviour may seem like a way of coping.

People can have suicidal thoughts or feelings when they feel disconnected from other people, helpless to deal with issues, and/ or hopeless about their situation ever improving.

All youth are different; however, if you are concerned that your youth may have a problem, look for changes in how he or she is thinking, feeling or acting.

Here are some warning signs to look for from the Partners for Mental Health’s parent guide:

LAURA LAVIGNE

SHERRY KAUFMAN

PENNY BROWN

(NC) It is all too easy to think of suicide as something that happens to other people’s families. We want to believe that youth who experience suicidal thoughts or behaviours come from dysfunctional families or they have been exposed to violence, neglect, or abuse. While these factors may increase the risk of suicide, it’s important to understand that suicidal thinking and behaviours cross all racial, economic, social and ethnic lines. No one is immune.

When individuals are overwhelmed, whether by life stresses, mental health

• overreact to fairly small incidents?

• seem preoccupied with death?

Additional information is available within the free parent guide from the national charity, Partners for Mental Health at www. rightbyyou.ca.

Juvenile team being formed

Splash down

EVAN BUHLER/MARKET NEWS

n Silverbacks goaltender Zach Dyment attempts to dunk head coach Brandon West in the dunk tank at the Silverbacks fourth annual town hall meeting at city hall on Tuesday, Aug. 18. The ’Backs host the Vipers Friday at 7 p.m. and travel to Vernon Saturday for a 6 p.m. start.

For the first time in years, Salmon Arm Minor Hockey Association will attempt to ice a Juvenile recreation team in the Okanagan Mainline Amateur Hockey Association.

Since overage midget players will not be allowed to participate in the Midget Recreation Superleague as of this year, interested players between the ages of 18 and 20 have an option for signing up to play juvenile hockey.

Salmon Arm has an illustrious juvenile hockey history as they brought home the provincial championships back in the early ’70s.

First practise is tentatively scheduled for Sept. 10. Players must bring registration forms and fees prior to first skate on Sept. 10. Four other teams in the Okanagan might join this league.

For more info, interested players can contact Betty Turko at 250-253-8163, Kim Dodge at 250-832-7626 or the minor hockey office at 250-832-0095.

The benefits and costs to local food

HealTHy BiTes Serena Caner In Canada, it is estimated that the average meal travels 2,400 kilometres to get from field to plate and contains ingredients from five other countries.

When we visit our grocery stores, we are confronted with such a vast array of choice, we are left overwhelmed: what should we eat?

Local food? Organic Food? Whatever is on sale?

While most of us agree with the idea of supporting a local food economy and avoiding pesticides, we have difficulty paying the premium that these choices can entail.

Why is it more expensive to eat local food? Why should the consumer pay more money for making an environmentally responsible choice that is better for our health?

One of the problems with our current food system is that the cost at the supermarket does not usually reflect the true cost of the food to our planet and our health. “Cheap” foods – instant noodles, hot dogs, crackers – are enabled by processing high volumes of government subsidized inputs into products that will last longer on your shelf. Meanwhile, the related costs to our health and environment are externalized.

The industrial food system is happy to sell us tasty, addictive foods with little nutritional value, but are less willing to pick up the tab for problems their system contribute to: increased healthcare costs, waistlines and disease; increased fossil fuel use and pollution to waterways, airways, pathways.

Out for a paddle

In an ideal food system, the government would support and enforce environmental stewardship in all food production and encourage a robust local food economy, rather than depend on the consumer, who may not have the choice to pay more for food.

So what can we do to help?

When at the grocery store, pay attention to where your food originated.

• Grow your own food (or befriend a kind neighbour with a garden.)

• Support your local farmer’s market.

• Write your MLA and vote for politicians who will support more and facilitate a local food economy and sounder food policy.

• Choose seasonal foods when you can.

If you have the financial means, support the food system that you believe in!

HOLMES, MARIAN EVELYN (nee FREEBORN) Marian Evelyn Holmes (nee Freeborn) was born on March 12, 1920 at Listowel, Ont. She attended Grade School to graduation of Grade XII in Listowel and after graduation, became Secretary for the Listowel High School. She moved to Hamilton, Ont. And attended the Canada Business College completing an included course in Pitman Shorthand. Following completion of this course she became the private secretary for the President of Canadian Canners Ltd. in Hamilton until she married Paul Holmes in 1946, who was in the RCMP. After fourteen years in Hamilton, they were transferred to Saskatchewan where they resided at Glaslyn, Lloydminster and later moved to Calgary, Alberta. Marian then worked for Insurance Adjusters and Alberta Land Titles. In 1974, they decided to move to Salmon Arm, BC, and in 2007 moved once again and the last time, to Creston to be closer to family.

The couple had four children, Lynda (Maguire, deceased in 2008, also in Creston), David, Brian and Dayle (Todd).

During her years, Marian became an ace seamstress and quilter. When the children were small she made most of their clothing. She also made wedding gowns and heavy knit sweaters for sale to augment the family income. She was a Life Member of the Salmon Arm Quilters Guild. Marian was the recipient of the RCMP Commissioners’ ‘2nd Man Award’ for voluntarily assisting her husband, Paul, with RCMP administrative & other tasks at Glaslyn, a one man Detachment.

In 2015, Marian suffered congestive heart failure which ultimately ended her life on August 21.

Marian was cremated and is interned at the Forest Lawn Cemetary alongside her oldest child, Lynda.

She was a loving wife and mother, and will be sadly missed by her adoring husband, children, nieces, nephews and many others. She will always be lovingly remembered.

Fracking’s winning the oil game GLOBAL VIEWS Gwynne Dyer “No one can set the price of oil. It’s up to Allah,” said Saudi Arabian Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi in May. But less devout people believe that Saudi Arabia has been trying very hard to set the price of oil – and set it low.

Moreover, it has been remarkably successful, because last week the price of oil was in the mid $40s per barrel, down from just over $100 last May. But Riyadh is not achieving its objective.

Saudi Arabia, like any oil producer, likes a high price for its oil, but since it is very rich and has huge reserves it thinks long-term.

Watching American oil production almost double in the past seven years, mainly thanks to the rapid rise of fracking, the Saudis could see that they risked losing their role as the “swing producer” who can raise or lower the oil price just by cutting or increasing its own production.

The only way Saudi Arabia could keep that role was to drive the American frackers out of business. Production costs are secret in the oil world, but the Saudis assumed the injection of water, sand and chemicals into shale rock at high pressure makes hydraulic fracturing – fracking – very expensive.

So the Saudi strategy is to keep its own production high in order to push the oil price down. If the price stays low enough for long enough, high-cost producers like the frackers will have to close down. Then, once the competition had been eliminated, Saudi Arabia jacks the price back up by cutting its own

production, and the glory days return.

In the meantime Saudi Arabia is losing income too, of course, and oil revenues account for 90 percent of the national budget. It can live on savings for a while, but it needs a fairly quick win.

It would be politically unwise to cut the lavish government spending that keeps the Saudi population happy, and the government is also involved in an expensive war in Yemen. The missing income has mostly been replaced by withdrawals from the country’s huge foreign reserves, estimated a year ago at $700 billion – but those reserves have fallen by $65 billion in the past year.

The Saudis don’t want to run those reserves down too far: without them, it could not afford to play the role of “swing producer,” and would lose most of its diplomatic clout. So last week, for the first time in eight years, Saudi Arabia started selling government bonds, planning to raise $27 billion by the end of the year.

The strain is starting to show.

The strain of this attritional battle is also showing in the United

States, where various shale oil producers have cancelled or postponed new drilling projects. But the shale producers have consolidated into bigger companies and increased the efficiency of their production processes, and U.S. oil production is actually continuing to grow this year. It is now at about 90 percent of Saudi production.

“The Saudis will stay rich, but they will have to cut their spending and they will suffer a permanent loss of influence.”

The brutal fact is that the Saudis are losing this battle. When the U.S. was the biggest producer of oil, before about 1970, it was the swing producer. Within a few years, it will have overtaken Saudi oil production and will be the swing producer again. And there is nothing Riyadh can do about it.

The Saudis made two mistakes. The first was to overestimate the cost of U.S. shale

oil production, and assume that any price below about $80 per barrel would make it unprofitable. There are some shale oil plays for which this is true, but the costs vary wildly, according to the local geology, and can be as low as $20 per barrel. Most shale oil is profitable at $60 per barrel, and that proportion is rising rapidly as consolidation proceeds and efficiency rises.

Their other, bigger mistake was to believe that victory was possible at all. When you stop production from a conventional oil well, there is a large permanent loss of flow when you restart production.

The pores in the oilbearing rock clog up, and that permanently reduces the “bottomhole” pressure that forces the oil to the surface.

Stopping production at a shale-oil site incurs no such loss, since the producers create the pressure themselves.

Uncap it, and the flow resumes as before.

So even if the Saudis succeeded in forcing most of the shale-oil sites to close, the shale producers would just turn the flow on again as soon as Saudi Arabia declared victory and cut production to

get the price of oil back up.

It will take a little more time for the Saudis to acknowledge their mistake, and they may not even be able to get the price back up to where they need it by cutting production.

American production will continue to rise, and Iranian oil will probably also be coming back on the market in a big way by next year.

The Saudis will stay rich, but they will have to cut their spending and they will suffer a permanent loss of influence. Their only consolation will be that Iran, which they see as their greatest enemy, won’t be able to use its oil to buy influence either.
