Weather norms washed out Man survives being By Barb Brouwer Eagle Valley News

Blame it on the Gulf of Mexico. A low-pressure area that brought torrential rains to the Shuswap had sucked up precipitation from southern U.S., says Environment Canada warning preparedness meteorologist Doug Lundquist. “The storm is com-

ing at the normal time of the year, but two to three times what you’d normally get in a storm,” he said last Thursday, noting the Shuswap as a whole received a month’s worth of rain or more. “This is likely because it tapped into moisture from Texas and the Gulf of Mexico.” Salmon Arm re-

ceived 29.8 mm of rain on Wednesday, June 19 blowing the 20.8 mm record posted on the same day in 1997 out of the water. A station in Enderby recorded 73 mm of rain in 24 hours from Wednesday to Thursday morning, while a station in Salmon Arm recorded 43 mm in the same period.

“It’s certainly significant, I know we’re gonna be way over at the end of the month,” Lundquist said, noting normal precipitation in Salmon Arm is 63 mm for the entire month of June. “The band (of low pressure) got stuck for a long time over the area, then the storms from Alberta moved See Rain on page 3

side-swiped by train Alcohol was likely a “contributing factor” when a man was struck by a Canadian Pacific train Thursday afternoon in Sicamous. Sicamous RCMP Sgt. Dave Dubnyk said the man was found lying conscious in the ditch about three metres from the train, suffering from injuries to his left shoulder and arm.

He had been walking east in the middle of the track when a westbound train sounded its horn. He moved off the track but got too close to the train as it passed by. The man was taken to Salmon Arm hospital to be stabilized and from there was transferred to Royal Inland Hospital, where he remains in the intensive care unit.

CSRD votes to fund Malakwa Community Learning Centre By Barb Brouwer Eagle Valley News

It’s a busy place and it could get at lot busier. Columbia Shuswap Regional District directors unanimously approved $105,000 for the operation of the Malakwa Community Learning Centre. The money will come from the Sicamous and Electoral Area E Economic Opportunity Fund. Gord Hynek, president of the Malakwa Community Centre Association, applied to the fund and to the District of Sicamous for funding to operate the building until a referendum can be held to gauge public appetite for supporting the centre though taxation. “We are very encouraged by

Eagle Valley News

Look for tipping fees at CSRD landfills to increase from the current $70 per tonne to a recommended $92 per tonne. Columbia Shuswap Regional District waste management coordinator Ben Van Nostrand told directors at the June 20 board meeting

that a recently completed Solid Waste Management Disposal Strategy Report indicates the regional district’s solid waste management plan is underfunded. “In the fall it’s anticipated we will be coming to seek approval for raising tipping fees to better bulk up the reserve funds.”

Other recommendations in the report are to close transfer stations at Malakwa and Glenemma and maintain the Sicamous landfill as is. Van Nostrand said staff do not consider

closing Glenemma or Malakwa to be an option – an opinion applauded by both Area E Rural Sicamous director Rhona Martin and Area D Falkland director René Talbot.

Wildlife conflicts usually don’t have happy end A video posted to YouTube of a bear entering a pickup truck by unlatching the doors might be funny for viewers safely ensconced in their concrete and glass condos, but encounters with wildlife in the city rarely end well. For the animals. It seems every spring there are sightings of bears in urban neighbourhoods ambling through backyards and down alleys tipping over garbage cans, pawing at bird feeders. Recently, a deer somehow managed to wander through the busy streets of the Lower Mainland for hours before conservation officers were finally notified. Sadly the otherwise healthy and robust deer didn’t survive the shot from a tranquilizer gun. Ungulates like deer don’t react well to tranquilizing drugs, said Dave Cox of the Conservation Officer Service. The stress of dodging traffic, barking dogs and curious humans probably didn’t help. One of the great allures of living in B.C. is the vast natural wilderness that begins right in our backyard. It’s easy to be at a grocery store in the morning and then having a picnic in the middle of a first or second growth forest, surrounded by mountains and trees for as far as the eye can see in the afternoon. Odds are there’s creatures amongst those trees. And sometimes they wander out of those woods and into our streets. At first blush it may seem an infringement on our space, but we have to remember their ancestors were here long before us. We’re encroaching on territories and behaviours bred into them for thousands of years. We need to respect their coexistence with us. – Black Press

Cabinet rookies handed hot files

By Tom Fletcher News Columnist

VICTORIA – There are nine new faces in Premier Christy Clark’s cabinet, seven of them elected to the B.C. legislature for the first time on May 14. They have been handed some of the hottest problems, and Clark’s marching orders in “mandate letters” for each ministry. And this is the start of a four-year term, when unpopular reforms are attempted. Take Amrik Virk, the former RCMP inspector from Surrey who’s suddenly in charge of advanced education. His mandate includes: “Review the student loan program to make recommendations for improvement to ensure the loan program is meeting the needs of today’s students.” Virk must also set targets to “match the skills we need with the skills we are graduating” and require post-secondary schools to “ensure student seats are being filled.”

B.C. can’t afford to keep cranking out university grads with $50,000 in debt and no job prospects in a system that’s subsidized 65 per cent. Virk will be working closely with Education Minister Peter Fassbender, who must “ensure seamless transitions” from high school to the workforce for post-secondary trades and apprenticeships. In his spare time, Fassbender is to overhaul the school district bargaining agency and achieve a 10-year peace with the teachers’ union. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton has worked as a Crown prosecutor, so she’ll have some insight into the system that still grapples with Stanley Cup rioters from two summers ago. Her orders are to get traffic tickets and other administrative penalties out of the courts, keep working on integrating police fiefdoms and generally treat the constipation that afflicts law enforcement today. Oh, and get that new Okanagan prison built, to

relieve a system that has inmates living in tents. And examine whether to spin off the Liquor Distribution Branch into a Crown corporation, a possible prelude to selling it. Transportation Minister Todd Stone’s first test was a grilling by the Vancouver media. Yup, this Kamloops hayseed has been to the Big Smoke a few times, ridden that fancy SkyTrain and taken the odd ferry, too. Now he has to impose the ferry route reductions that have been worked on by two previous ministers, and push Metro Vancouver through a referendum on ways to fund its own transit. If more tolls or taxes are going to be implemented, now is the time. Coralee Oakes has made a political leap from Quesnel city hall to the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. One of her key tasks is to invent a framework for a “rural dividend” from liquefied natural gas development in northwestern B.C. Oakes has to figure out

how to “better provide provincial support” to sport and cultural organizations, but do it with no new money. All ministers have strict instructions to balance their lean budgets and take part in the latest “core review” to identify government functions that can be sold, delegated or shut down. New Minister of International Trade Richmond’s Teresa Wat has to find a way to continue the growth of lumber and other exports to China, India and elsewhere on the Pacific Rim. On top of that, the always-delicate softwood lumber agreement with the U.S. expires in three years. The last major eruption on that front was in 2009, when B.C. cut stumpage rates for remote coastal areas to give communities much-needed employment. The Americans were livid, just as they were with our beetlekill harvesting efforts. And of course, the U.S.-directed environmental movement continues to target Canadian industries.

Dealing with garden failures

Gaia GardeninG Margo westaway

First, to all the grads out there: Don’t worry if your grades are low, and your marks are few; Remember that the mighty oak, was once a nut like you. And a little joke for the gardeners….. Q: What did one strawberry say to the other? A: “We wouldn’t be in this jam if we hadn’t been caught in the same bed together!” As a footnote for the last column on weeds, I left out an important method of controlling them, which is using a good, organic mulch. This will also trap and hold moisture, protect the soil surface from harsh weather, feed the soil food web, give your plants a healthy slow-release fertilizer and provide food for other critters like snails, who may dine on the mulch instead of your vegeta-

bles and flowers. Also, landscape fabric does a poor job of controlling weeds (as well as suffocating the soil food web) and can become a nightmare to extract plants from, so I don’t recommend it. Now on to the subject at hand….. Whenever we have a few minutes at home and want to have a bit of a laugh, we google up the “fails” of whatever subject we want (ie sports fails, etc.) Not only is it good for a chuckle, but it’s also a great way to learn from other people’s mistakes and mishaps. I think there should be a new category called “garden fails,” so we can all have a good tee-hee about someone else’s gardening foofoos and learn from them too. Take some of mine, for instance… I have six major gardens coming up the driveway and around the house and all of them have failed for different reasons. Two of the beds have rotten wood boxes, others have had plants take over and one is totally lost to weeds and raspberries. All of these problems could have been prevented and avoided, so the best way for me to deal with these disasters is to learn from

them and start over. This year I got around to deconstructing then properly reconstructing, my once beautiful, trellised veggie garden, which consisted of four 6 x 4-feet boxes as well as a lovely stone flower bed at one end, totaling 35-feet in length. This mega project was the first redo of my garden fails, using all the tricks I’ve learned along the way and also learning where I went wrong in the first place. This is how I tackled it. After I removed the rotten wood, the five 8-foot high trellises and the stones from the flower garden, I dug out the entire area, right down to the subsoil and used that material as fill somewhere else. I could see that the ‘soil’ had become dirt because no organic matter had been added to it for at least two years, and not one worm or bug was found. Clearly the soil food web had not been fed and all the critters either starved or moved out, so it’s clearly important to keep that

organic material up to maintain a living soil. Next I cut the grass away from the beds and put down a long row of 2-inch thick patio pavers as a 20-inch wide sidewalk and weed barrier along the front and under the stones of the flower bed. Then I replaced the wooden boxes for the rot-proof cinder blocks, using clean sand for levelling and draped them with easy-to-cut Dinoflex mats, which covered the holes so nothing would fall or grow into them. I also dug down deep around the blocks and lined the outside and inside of the beds with the mats for an extra weed barrier, as well as placing a thick layer of paper on the floor of the beds, so no wandering roots could come up. The posts were dug in and the trellises then attached to them. Finally, the beds were filled with beautiful new soil and voila – a lovely new garden that’s pretty fail-proof. That’s one down and five more to go. Groan….

Citizens on Patrol needs help on land and water By Jessica Klymchuk Eagle Valley News

Summer time shenanigans are abundant and the RCMP can’t catch everything. That’s where you come in. Citizens on Patrol is in search of volunteers for July and August. The program has three components: patrol, speed watch and

marine patrol. Volunteers patrol the town in pairs looking for problems and suspicious situations to report to RCMP, while speed watch volunteers record information on traffic with specialized equipment. Time commitment is low as volunteers are only asked to commit

four hours per month. Marine patrol volunteers need a boat and can monitor whenever they are on the lake with no minimum hours required. They can simply log whatever they see, from boating activity to dead heads that need to be flagged, says co-ordinator Terry Sinton.

“It’s very easy to participate in any of them but we really need volunteers,” said Sinton. “All three provide a great service to the community and make it much easier for policing in this area.” Sinton noted citizens on patrol is particularly needed in the summer because of

the increase in people in the area. Based on past experiences as a volunteer she says even the presence of patrollers deters questionable activity. Volunteers do not need any special skills as everyone is trained by the RCMP. Anyone interested in participating in ma-

rine patrol can contact Sinton at 836-4613. Anyone interested in participating in Citizens on Patrol or Speed Watch can contact Kathy Keam at 250836-3267.

DISTRICT OF SICAMOUS PUBLIC NOTICE DISTRICT OF SICAMOUS Under Section 227 of the Community Charter Table of Properties Eligible for Revitalization Tax Exemption Program TAKE NOTICE THAT the District of Sicamous proposes to adopt Revitalization Tax Exemption Bylaw No. 862, 2013 for the following reasons and objectives:

Purpose of the Bylaw Council wishes to establish a Revitalization Tax Exemption Program in the downtown commercial area of the District to assist businesses that are listed in the Revitalization Area defined in the Bylaw and were severely affected by flood damage to the District’s water system in 2012 to purchase private water filtration systems. Reasons for the Revitalization Tax Exemption Program The extreme flooding that occurred in the District in 2012 damaged the District’s water system. The damage prevented the District from being able to continue to supply commercial water users in the District who require high volumes of water with an adequate, suitable and reliable supply of municipal water until such time as the District is able to update its water treatment plant, estimated to take two years or more to complete. The economic and social well being of the District is enhanced by a viable commercial and retail sector that continues to supply the basic and necessary goods and services, as well as a variety of other goods and services, to the District’s resident population, tourists and visitors and other District businesses. The economic health of that sector and, therefore, the well being of the resident and visiting populations, would be adversely affected by closures of businesses in that sector, forcing persons and businesses in Sicamous to purchase their goods and services in other municipalities. The closure of those businesses may adversely affect other businesses in the District, causing them to close as well. The water users who are dependent on their water supply for the continuation of their businesses, may be unable to recover from the adverse impacts of the loss of the water supply they require and unable to afford the cost of installing private water filtration systems. Rather than see these businesses close or relocate to other municipalities and be lost to the District, Council deems it necessary and in the best interests of the District to offer them tax exemptions under section 226 of the Community Charter. Objectives of the Revitalization Tax Exemption Program Council’s objectives for the Revitalization Tax Exemption Program are to secure the future economic and social health of the District by offering tax relief to the owners and occupiers of those commercial properties in the Revitalization Area (high volume commercial water users) who were adversely affected by the long term loss of an adequate, suitable and reliable supply of municipal water as a result of flood damage to the municipal water system in 2012; Accomplishing the Objectives The Objectives of the Revitalization Tax Exemption Program would be accomplished by (1)

assisting the high volume commercial water users with the cost of installing water filtration systems on their premises to provide water suitable for their business operations until such time the municipal water service is upgraded, operational and able to supply them with an adequate, suitable and reliable supply of municipal water; and

(2)

thereby enabling the existing high volume commercial water users to keep their businesses financially viable; to preserve the jobs they provide in their businesses and indirectly in other businesses in the District; and to continue providing goods and services to the inhabitants of the District, as well as visitors and tourists to the District, rather than having their customers purchase their goods and services outside of the District;

Eligible Properties To be eligible for the tax exemption, an applicant must (1) own a Parcel or operate a business assessed for taxation on one or more of the of the commercial properties (Parcels) listed in the Table at the end of this notice, and (2) have installed a water filtration system on the Parcel before October 1, 2013. Maximum Term of the Tax Exemption The tax exemption will be provided for a maximum term of 5 years beginning with the calendar year 2014 and not available after the year 2018. Amount of the Tax Exemption The annual tax exemption proposed for each property is $1,200.00 or 20% of the Actual Purchase Price (as verified under the terms of the Revitalization Tax Exemption Agreement between the District and the property owner) of a water filtration system, whichever is the lesser amount. Extent of the Tax Exemption The extent of the Tax Exemption is $6,000 if claimed for the Maximum Term of 5 years. The exemption is applied only to the general municipal tax portion of the municipal tax bill and not to taxes that must be collected by the District for other taxing authorities. Date of Council Meeting Council intends to consider adopting this Bylaw at its Regular Council Meeting on July 10th, 2013 at 5:00 p.m. in the District of Sicamous Council Chambers at the address below. Interested persons are welcome to attend. Information A complete copy of the bylaw is available at the District of Sicamous Municipal Office, 446 Main Street, Sicamous, BC. For more information, please call Heidi Frank, Chief Administrative Officer, 250-836- 2477.

Canada Day in Sicamous! Have a happy Canada Day!

Canada Day History

Canada Day occurs on July 1st, the anniversary of Canada’s confederation. Canadians commemorate the day with parades, fireworks, cookouts, and concerts. The popularity of the holiday has been on the incline since the late 1960’s and has since become a nationwide celebration. Formerly known as “Dominion Day,” Canada Day marks the anniversary of the Constitution Act of 1867, joining Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Canada province (now Ontario and Quebec) into a single country. The Constitution Act granted Canada a substantial amount of independence from England, although complete independence was not given until 1982. Prior to 1900, there was little Canadian nationalism as many Canadians regarded themselves as British citizens. The first official celebration was held in 1917 to honor Canada’s 50th birthday. It was not until 1946 that Phileas Cote, a member of the Quebec House of Commons, sent a private member’s bill to rename Dominion Day as Canada Day. The Senate responded by recommending the holiday be named the “National Holiday of Canada.” Since no one could agree on the name, the bill was defeated. The government first recognized Canada Day in 1958 by holding a trooping of the color on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. Canada’s centennial marked the first widespread celebration in 1967. The event promoted nationalism and Canadian pride. The holiday continued to grow in the late 1960’s and many Canada Day events were televised and broadcasted throughout the country. In the 1980’s, the government began funding Canada Day activities in smaller communities. The holiday was finally made official by a unanimous vote on October 27, 1982; the same year that the Canada Act was passed, removing any remaining dependence of Canada on the United Kingdom. While the public had recognized the holiday for decades, this marked a significant change in the magnitude of the celebrations.

Doors close on longtime hardware business where they are fed and they stick there so long as there’s food.” While owning a hardware store may not make you rich, says Moore, it has provided a rewarding life that part of him is terribly sad to

By Lachlan Labere Eagle Valley News

In retirement, Bob Moore is looking forward to spending more time with his business partner. Twenty years ago, Moore and wife Yvonne Walmsley took over ownership of what was then MacLeod’s-True Value hardware store (and later became Tru Hardware) on Main Street . Last Wednesday at 5 p.m., when Moore locked up the store, it was for the last time. Moore says the store is closing because he and Walmsley wish to retire, and because the local economy has made it impossible to sell the business. “I am very, very sorry we couldn’t find someone who was willing to run the store, but seeing the financials over the last three years, I’m not surprised,” says Moore.”I enjoyed almost every minute of running the store. But I’m in spitting distance of 70 now and time is time.” Moore says what he’s looking forward to most in retirement is having days off to spend with his wife. “Outside of vacation, either one or the other of us has been working at that store, so we just didn’t have a day off together,” says Moore. “So I’m looking forward to that.” What brought Moore to Sicamous was a de-

be leaving. “Doing this is really like, what the Irish used to say, “the tears and the laughter fight on your face,” says Moore. “Because I will miss being in the store, and I will miss all of the

people that I see on a regular basis. But, on the other side, I am really looking forward to spending some time in the company of my wife, spending more time with my dog, that sort of thing.”

Sign of the time: Bob Moore and Yvonne Walmsley turn the sign to closed for the final time on Wednesday. Photo by Victoria Rowbottom sire to find a business that didn’t require a lot of politics. “I was coming out of 20 years as a labour relations guy, and my wife was coming out of just about the same amount as an academic with Grant MacEwan College,” says Moore. “So we both just wanted to try the small-town life.” Over the years, Moore has established deep roots in the community – which includes three grandchildren – and he has no plans or desire to leave. “We like the community. It’s a retirement community even if that wasn’t planned,” laughs Moore. Moore says he will miss his three staff members who have been with the store so long they are very much family in his eyes, though not as close as some had thought.

“When we were relatively new in town, everybody assumed that every woman working at the store was my wife,” says Moore. “Very few people ever got it right, because they treat me like, you know, they nag me, they yell at me and give me a bad time… I shouldn’t say that. I’m certainly very fond of my staff and I’m highly respectful of them.” Moore will also greatly miss his customers, including those he refers to as his widows. “I had people who I saw two or three times a week. My widows as I called them,” says Moore, “the ones who used to say Harry used to do this but he’s gone now; can you give me a hand?” Asked about his handyman skills, however, Moore admits to being fumble-fingered.

“I was a theoretical handyman – I knew how to do things but I couldn’t do them…,” says Moore. “I knew the theory, so I could tell people how to do them, but if I tried to do them I’d end up dropping things and cutting myself.” Moore explained how over the years, business became guided by patterns of local phenomena. These included the annual influx of floods, tourists, mosquitoes and hummingbirds. “The first time a hummingbird is sighted in Sicamous, everybody hears about it within a couple of days, and we used to sell almost our entire year’s supply of hummingbird feeders in the space of two weeks,” laughs Moore. “Because they are very territorial, and if you don’t feed them when they arrive, they go to
