Waterway Houseboats announces receivership on June 11 resulting in the layoff of 51 employees. (Martha Wickett - Eagle Valley News)

Compensating Waterway patrons Consumer Protection BC provides options for reimbursement Jim Elliot Eagle Valley News

Shuswap Tourism and Shuswap Economic Development have expressed their disappointment with the closure of Waterway Houseboats due to the company going into receivership on June 11. “Waterway Houseboats, along with Twin Anchors Houseboat Vacations, and Bluewater Houseboat Vacations are responsible for establishing Sicamous as the houseboat capital of Canada, as well as offering a unique way to showcase the incredible scenery and recreational amenities found on and around Shuswap and Mara Lakes,” their statement reads. The note, posted to Shuswap Tourism’s website, states that the Shuswap’s tourism operators look forward to welcoming visitors to experience house boating and the

other activities the area has to offer. It also offers a few tips for those who booked with Waterway and have not received a refund from the company that is now in the control of the bank’s receiver. They recommend those who booked their trips with credit cards contact the credit card company to see if they are eligible for reimbursement. Shuswap Tourism recommends Waterway customers from outside Canada contact the agent who booked their trip to determine whether they have insurance coverage. It recommends Canadian residents who booked a trip contact Consumer Protection BC for more information regarding reimbursement. Tatiana Chabeaux-Smith, a spokesperson for Consumer Pro-

tection BC, said the matter of getting reimbursement from the company is not a simple one. Chabeaux-Smith said Consumer Protection BC is currently gathering information to see if anything can be done to help the customers who are out thousands of dollars after their houseboat vacations were abruptly cancelled. Consumer Protection BC licenses and regulates travel agents in the province. Those agents pay into a travel assurance fund which is administered by Consumer Protection BC and used to compensate customers in the event of a travel agency or supplier failure. “We discovered that one of our licensed travel agents did do a number of bookings to Waterway and that travel agency is called BC Central Reservations,” Chabeaux Smith said.

“That is a possible avenue of compensation for people but they have to have booked through that licensed travel agent.” Chabeaux-Smith said there are a number of processes which people have to follow in order to be compensated through the assurance fund, one of which is attempting to get their money back through their credit card company. She said she would advise anybody in this kind of situation to seek a charge-back through their credit card company; some Waterway customers who have called Consumer Protection BC have successfully received reimbursement through their credit card companies. Further information on the process for seeking reimbursement is expected to be posted on Consumer Protection BC’s website by June 21.

Life’s work leads to leukemia Barb Brouwer Contributor

Artist Luke Stalker-Switzer is no longer letting his work get under his skin. Two years ago, the talented 31-year-old was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), a type of cancer for which there is no cure, but for which remission is a possibility. As a sculptor working in the television and movie industry for more than a decade, Stalker-Switzer experienced daily exposure to products containing benzene. “They call CML the worker’s cancer and one of the leading causes is benzene. It’s in plastics, resins,

industrial solvents and it’s something I was always around,” he said, calling it shocking that many dangerous chemicals whose side effects are often ignored or unknown are used daily. “To a certain degree, I knew there were dangers. I always wore a respirator but didn’t wear gloves because I didn’t want to lose my (sense of) touch. But people need to know it can get through your skin.” S t a l ke r - S w i t z e r knew something was serious when his doctor called him at night two years ago and told him to come to his office the next day, only to call back

near midnight and tell him to go to the ER right away. “I was more scared I had MS because my dad has primary progressive MS and I watched him lose his ability to do art,” said the 2006 Salmon Arm Secondary grad. Despite being in pain most of the time, and feeling weak and nauseated from the chemo drugs, Stalker-Switzer continued to work. Self-employed as owner and operator of Creature Vault, he was concerned about losing his job with Masters FX, a company that produces character effects for film, television and other media.

But owner Todd Masters assured him the company would find work for him when his illness prevented him from going to the studio. Ever the optimist, Stalker-Switzer said he looked at his illness as an opportunity to learn a new skill set and used the time to study digital design and digital sculpting. Meanwhile, determined to do what he could to ensure safety and good health among his employees, Masters implemented changes in the Burnaby studio. They included switching to an organic and environmentally friendly

chemical that meets the company’s requirements. While he’s feeling well right now and taking baby steps to get back to playing and coaching basketball, Stalker-Switzer may be on chemo drugs for the rest of his life. Back in the studio, he said it was hard to learn his art was making him sick. So now he wears a powered respirator and protective covering, including gloves. “It’s a small price to pay for doing something I love,” he said, excited his work will be featured in Child’s Play, the latest thriller/slasher film featuring the character Chucky, a movie “loaded with special effects that really bring a toy to life” and opens in Luke Stalker-Switzer refines the sculpture of Chucky’s face, the main antagonist in theatres on June 21. the Child’s Play thriller/slasher film series.

A milfoil harvester removes invasive species from Shuswap Lake. (File photo)

Lower lake levels could encourage Eurasian milfoil Jim Elliot Eagle Valley News

Lower than average snow packs and lake levels could lead to a bumper crop of Eurasian milfoil in Shuswap Lake this summer. The Columbia Shuswap Regional District board received an overview of annual reports from the regional district’s milfoil control program, courtesy of environmental services co-ordinator Hamish Kassa at their June 20 meeting. Kassa said the program’s main goal is to reduce impacts on recreation and biodiversity caused by the invasive aquatic plant. Kassa said an increased nuisance from the plants is expected this year as a lower-than-average snowpack has led to lower lake levels that could allow more sunlight to reach the milfoil. 2018 saw a relatively small amount of milfoil removed with 33.5 tonnes coming out of the lake. This was only a fraction of the 2016 harvest which totalled 164.5 tonnes. Kassa said if need be, the program can scale up their harvesting efforts to seven days a week. He likened it to budgeting for snow removal, as the milfoil’s growth rate is dependent on unpredictable environmental factors like available sunlight, nutrient uptake and water chemistry. Kassa said that while the goal of eradicating the stubborn milfoil is not achievable it can be controlled. He explained the entire Shuswap system is infested with the weeds

and they are likely here to stay but through management, their prevalence can be greatly reduced. With the right mix of soil and other conditions, Kassa said a 90 per cent reduction in the size of weed beds is achievable. Mayor Terry Rysz asked Kassa if the milfoil is prevalent in the Sicamous channel and what effect dredging the channel would have on its prevalence. Kassa said the channel is one of their top priority sites and milfoil has been well-established there since 1979. He said if they were to stop treating the channel, which runs between Shuswap and Mara Lakes, its navigability by boats would quickly decline. He added that a buildup of silt does add to the problem. Along with their control work in the milfoil-infested Shuswap Lake system, Kassa spoke of the monitoring work they do on other lakes in the area. CSRD Electoral Area F director Rene Talbot asked specifically about monitoring at high-altitude lakes such as Spa, Arthur and Boolean Lakes, which are clustered just north of Falkland. Kassa said they monitor most lakes that have boat launches since milfoil most often spreads on boats. According to the 2018 milfoil program report, Joyce Lake, Gardom Lake and the portion of Adams Lake which is within the CSRD boundary were surveyed for milfoil between September and December 2018. The surveys found no milfoil.

Hyde Sawmill

From a hand-operated, gas powered mill in 1942, Hyde Mill has become an operation that takes pride in their workmanship and in supplying a superior product to their valued customer. Hyde Mill has long been a family affair and supplies custom orders to clients across Canada, the United States and overseas. Alan Hyde’s parents moved to the farm in 1951 and he and his brothers worked the mill along with their father Scottie, cutting fencing for the livestock, beams for the barn, lumber for the house and all the outbuildings. Alan left the family farm but returned to with wife, Kim, In 1983 to raise their two children. Rebuilding the mill became the priority and took about one year to complete. Alan began producing railroad ties, which were in great demand at the time, and cutting cedar cants for a re-saw mill along with beams

and timbers for many homes that where built in the Sicamous area. Increasing orders for large oversized timber and beams outgrew the mill’s capability and in 1990, Alan and Kim welcomed her father Merv Siegrist as a partner in the business. Alan and Merv bought a new mill large enough and were in partnership for 10 years until Merv’s retirement. Now, more than 35 years later, Hyde Mill is operated by Alan and son Tyler and continues to provide a high-quality product to its valued customers For more information, go to www.hydesawmill.com

Still waiting on legalization

It’s been nearly six years since, speaking at a Kelowna rally, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced he would rather see cannabis legalized instead of just decriminalized. Back then he was just plain old Justin, on the campaign trail trying to garner votes and reinvigorate the federal Liberal party. Two years later, the Liberals cruised back to power on that promise and others. The Liberals defaulted on their promise to reform the electoral system, and you have to wonder if the promise of legal recreational cannabis is going to be substantially complete before the next federal election, this fall. It’s not entirely the Liberals’ fault that we’ve yet to see a thriving cannabis industry. Though it took three years— three months later than the July 1, 2018 date first promised — they did deliver on the legislation last October. But even though they had those three years, provincial and local governments didn’t really get started on their own legislation until, effectively, the last minute. So far, relatively few cannabis retailers have been able to open across Canada. Notably, the first to open in B.C. was a provincial government-operated store in Kamloops. But most of the many applications from hopeful private retailers around the province are still waiting for the dual approval they need from the province and their municipal government. It’s not that getting a licence to sell cannabis should be easy. It shouldn’t, and there are countless obstacles and social issues that need to be dealt with. But with three years warning, there is little excuse for provincial and local governments not to have been better prepared to resolve those problems and implement legalization, which was a popular idea long before the Liberals decided to run with it. After all, cannabis has been effectively legal for a long time. It’s just that all the money generated by the industry was going into the pockets of criminals instead of generating taxes. Governments should have had frameworks, laws and bylaws ready to go by the time legalization legislation dropped, only needing fine tuning to match the fed’s ideas. By now, most of the applications should have been either approved or denied, with private operators starting to add to local and provincial economies, and driving the black market farther underground. You would think governments didn’t want the tax money that cannabis retail stores are going to generate. Black Press

Our HistOry in Pictures

Clearcutting leaves us all poorer, forever gueSt column Jens Wieting Earlier this month, hundreds of British Columbians visited MLA offices across the province demanding protection of endangered old-growth forests and improved forest management, during a day of action organized by Sierra Club BC. In response, David Elstone, the executive director of the Truck Loggers Association, accused our organization of not acknowledging the economic importance of old-growth logging and claimed that clearcutting what little remains is sustainable (B.C. has most sustainably managed forests in the world, June 6). He was joined by columnist Tom Fletcher repeating outdated claims about the climate benefit of replacing old-growth forests with young trees. Fletcher ignores modern science showing that clearcutting ancient trees results in the rapid loss of huge amounts of carbon accumulated over hundreds of years (Urban environmental “emergency” routine wearing thin, June 9). Sierra Club BC is concerned about the economic, social and ecological impact of clearcutting endangered old-growth forests. True sustainability

is leaving similar values and conditions for future generations. But B.C.’s ancient giants have been reduced to a fraction of their former extent, replaced by young, uniform forests cut in short rotation forestry, never allowed to grow old again. Elstone claims B.C.’s forest management is the most sustainable in the world. However, satellite images show that on Vancouver Island, we are losing what little forest remains intact three times faster than Brazil’s primary rain forest in the Amazon is being destroyed. The current old-growth logging rate on Vancouver Island alone is about 10,000 hectares a year or more than 30 soccer fields a day. The inescapable conclusion is that old-growth logging on Vancouver Island alone contributes millions of tonnes annually to provincial carbon dioxide emissions. Elstone highlights that in recent years close to half of the volume cut on Vancouver Island came from old-growth. Today, the Island’s productive old-growth (forests with relatively big trees, not bonsai sized trees that government and industry like to include to inflate numbers) has been reduced to about 20 per cent of its former extent. Only six per cent of the original productive oldgrowth of the Island is protected. Elstone is in denial about old-growth logging coming to an end, one way or the other. This should be a huge concern for everyone with a

job in the woods. We will not leave anything close to what we found for future generations. Plants and animal species that depend on old-growth will vanish. Climate impacts will worsen without the shield of intact ancient forests to reduce droughts, floods and fires. Degraded landscapes will impact the quality of drinking water and allow fewer options for a diverse economy that includes tourism and recreation. The good news is it is not too late to save what remains of B.C.’s old-growth, restore second-growth forests and transition to truly sustainable forest management. We can still choose to save the web of life that depends on intact forests and move to carefully planned selective logging. This would deliver “negative emissions” and wood products at the same time, capturing more carbon in our forests than is lost as a result of harvesting. Creating more jobs with less ecosystem damage per cubic metre of wood deserves our full support. The longer we wait the harder this change will be. The first step is for industry and government to stop the denial reflected in Elstone and Fletcher’s opinion pieces. Jens Wieting is a senior forest and climate campaigner with Sierra Club BC.

Volunteers wanted for cabin restoration Jim Elliot Eagle Valley News

The historic building known as the Cache Cabin has stood at the halfway point between Sicamous and the Mara Lookout Ranger Station since 1907. Volunteers want to help ensure it stays standing. According to the Shuswap Trail Alliance, the log timber cabin has stood up well considering its age but careful remediation work is required to repair wear and tear on the structure. The Cache Cabin gets its name because it was used as a place to stash supplies for the rangers watching for fires from the Mara Lookout Ranger Station to save them half of the two-day horseback ride to Sicamous. In the early days of elec-

tronic communication, before radios became common, it was also a stop along the telegraph and then telephone line used by the rangers to report fires. According to the Trail Alliance, the cabin is not intended for overnight stays but could be a lifesaving haven for a lost backcountry user. It is also a fascinating place to visit and a piece of history worthy of preservation. The Shuswap Backcountry Riders are taking the lead on restoration work, which will include removal of the cabin’s deck and support posts in order to remove the rotted bottoms of existing support posts and replace them with new bases, and hanging doors on new hinges.

All the necessary materials for the restoration work have been milled, but help is needed transporting them to the site which sits 400 metres down a trail from the nearest motorized access. The call has gone out for volunteers to help out with the restoration project on Saturday, July 6. The “voly day” runs from 8 a.m. until about noon. Volunteers are asked to meet at the Owlhead trailhead which is at the 17-kilometre mark on the Owlhead Forest Service Road, accessible from McLean-MacPherson Road in Sicamous. Work will involve lifting and carrying lumber and other construction materials from the road to the cabin over uneven terrain.

Local 4-H members hope to sell steers Jim Elliot Eagle Valley News

Queest Mountain 4-H Club members have put a lot of work into raising steers to ready them for market. They hope their time and effort will pay off at the Okanagan 4-H Beef Stock Show and Sale. More than 30 4-H members from across the B.C. Interior will be participating in the sale, which runs from July 2 to 6 in

Armstrong. After an opening ceremony on the evening of Tuesday, July 2, and an instructional day on Wednesday, the show itself runs Thursday and Friday. The weekend is capped off with the grand finale steer sale on Saturday at 10 a.m. following the buyer’s breakfast and parade of champions at 8 a.m. Queest Mountain Club leader Michelle Wolff states its mem-

bers would appreciate help in finding buyers for their steers. Wolff recommends splitting a side of beef with a group of friends and sharing about the sale with friends and colleagues in order to ensure the hard work of the 4-H club members is rewarded. “Not only do you get to fill your freezer with top-quality beef, you will also support a youth that is passionate about livestock

Your Horoscope

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, are you up to stepping outside of your comfort zone? Embrace the challenge and try something completely different from your normal routine. You just may like it. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Let problems flow over you like water off of a duck’s back, Taurus. Worrying will only make things worse, and it’s completely unproductive anyway. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Work on nurturing a relationship that has been pushed to the side for some time, Gemini. Rekindling communication is a great way to start things off anew. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Keep an open mind when someone presents an idea to you, Cancer. It’s easy to blow it off without a thought, but you should be more amenable to listening and advising. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Now may be the time to share responsibilities with others, Leo. This is especially true if you are facing deadlines and simply cannot meet them in time. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Accept help when it is offered, Virgo. This makes helpful people feel good that they can do you a service. You will have an opportunity to reciprocate in time. LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Not everyone is on board with your new plan, Libra. You may have to present it a few times before you get a few takers. Be persistent to win others over. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, even though it seems like there are many obstacles in your path, you will be able to get through relatively unscathed if you have the right people on your side.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, relaxation is essential right now, as you have had many things on your plate. Do not feel like you are slacking off if you take some time to give yourself a break. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Let others in your family know how you are feeling. You don’t have to put on a show or mask your emotions, Capricorn. They’ll love and support your decisions. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Have faith in your decisions even if they don’t entirely make sense on paper, Aquarius. You will have a line of supporters waiting in your corner in no time at all. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, things are changing rapidly in your life and you may feel like you have to play catch up. Target some areas to focus your attention.

I-26 remained off the B.C. coast till mid-July. With the attack, all the lighthouses on the B.C. coast were blacked out. This caused the Russian freighter, Uzbekistan to crash onto the rocks at Pachena Point in April 1943. Captain Meiji Tagami commanded submarine I-25 and took up a station off the mouth off the Columbia River in Washington State, Dec. 18, 1941. Tagami now ordered the crew to fire on the oil tanker LP St Clair, but she ran to safety up the Columbia River.

Many dedicated anglers really enjoy salmon and halibut fishing off our coast. Although there are closures at present to protect chinook salmon stocks on the West Coast and help our southern pods of orcas, a more sinister event was taking place in our more abundant salmon-rich waters back about 1942, and again in 1962. While pruning fruit trees for good friend Holly Ready a few seasons back, I happened to strike up a conversation with a gal across the fence. She remembered back to when she was 10 years old. It was 1942, and her dad was manning the lighthouse at a place called Friendly Cove at Nootka Sound. While glancing out onto the ocean one morning, she spotted a periscope moving through the water of the large bay. Possibly the Japanese submarine I-26 commanded by Capt. Minoru Yakota searching for fresh water supplies, and a place to launch an attack by shelling the village. But the first shelling occurred off Estevan

Soon, a Russian submarine surfaced along side the Ottawa, as the sister submarine quietly slid away. Friendly banter ensued with the Russian crewmen and seamen of the Ottawa, and an exchange of hat badges/flashes happened. The Russian subs were mapping our coastline, similar to 1942, when the Japanese did the same. Search and Rescue Buffalo aircraft do patrols along our coast. Coast Guard patrol vessels are also present. Besides the vast amount of sea life on the ocean floor of our coast, what else could
