Five injured during severe rainstorm
Aftermath: Funds being raised for man who lost his home to fallen tree. By Lachlan Labere Eagle Valley News
Fundraising efforts are underway for a man whose residence and leg were damaged in last week’s storm. The Bottle Shop confirmed Monday that they’ve been raising money to help Al Robert, whose home was damaged during the severe storm that ripped through the Shuswap Wednesday evening. Sicamous RCMP said Robert was in the bedroom of his Sicamous Creek Mobile Home Park residence when a tree fell through the roof and into the bedroom, injuring his leg. Robert was still able to crawl through the damaged portion to get outside and call for help. Police and paramedics were also called out to a Swansea Point residence where a tree fell on the house and injured a woman inside. She was treated for minor injuries. At about 5 p.m., police and Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue Station #106 members had to brave the choppy waters of Shuswap Lake in response to a 911 call relating to a houseboat near Neilsen Beach. Const. Dusty Miller said it was reported the boat had been caught up in the storm and one of its crew had gone overboard. “Basically, it was pushed up against the rocks and it was swamped so it couldn’t run anymore,” said Miller of the vessel. Upon arrival, rescuers learned the missing person was still on the boat below deck. However, Miller said three of the houseboat’s occupants suffered minor injuries as the houseboat was being tossed around by the waves. They were taken to hospital for treatment, and the houseboat was eventually docked at the Shark Shack. A fallen tree also hit power lines along Highway 97A near Gillis Avenue, resulting in a temporary highway closure. Meanwhile, east of Sicamous, the storm knocked down power lines at Craigellachie, resulting in the highway being shut down for a couple of hours. The combination of wind, rain and falling trees resulted in power outages throughout the Shuswap, including Sicamous where 3,900 properties were left without power until the following afternoon.

Bridge construction to begin in August
By Lachlan Labere Eagle Valley News
The replacement of the Malakwa Bridge is expected to begin in August and be complete by the summer of 2016. Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo and Okanagan Shuswap MP Colin Mayes were in Malakwa Friday to formally update the public on the proposed project that would see the existing 60-year-old, two-lane bridge along the Trans-Canada Highway replaced with a four-lane structure, so as to improve highway safety and traffic flow. The project, some 30 kilometres east of Sicamous, will also involve widening 2.3 ki-
lometres of the adjacent highway to four lanes and would include a paved median with a 2.6-metre-wide barrier. Tybo Contracting Ltd. of Langley B.C. was awarded the job with a successful bid of $16.4 million. “Replacement of the old, narrow bridge will eliminate this pinch point for traffic and provide increased clearances for commercial vehicles,” said Kyllo in a July 25 Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure release. “The upgrade to four lanes will also provide all motorists with safer opportunities to pass on this stretch of Highway 1.” See Intersection on page 3

Second medical marijuana facility proposed Need Help?
Production: Company already operating under old regulations. By Lachlan Labere Eagle Valley News
There are now two applications for licensed medical marijuana production facilities in Sicamous. At last week’s committee of the whole meeting, District of Sicamous community planner Mike Marrs informed municipal council that he’s received notice of a new application being submitted to the federal government for a licensed medical marijuana production facility. Marrs said he’s not aware of where the facility would be going, and that staff will not be doing anything about it until such time as a licence is awarded and the applicant comes to the district with a defined proposal. Marrs also updated council on another application, this one from 1937 Enterprises Inc., to establish a licensed medical marijuana production facility at Waterway Houseboats’ Monashee Frontage Road manufacturing facility. Marrs said the company, which runs the website bcorganicbud.com, had not yet been awarded a licence under the federal government’s new regulations for the commercial production of medical marijuana. “We will be issuing a memo to 1937 Enterprises, which again is the Waterway property,

File photo in regard to their business licence application and turning it down,” said Marrs. “We are not in… a legal position to issue that business licence because our bylaws refer to a licensed marijuana production facility. It is not licensed at this point in time, nor has it met any criteria of the zoning bylaw… “Further, we have not conducted inspections over there relative to the business licence. That could be an issue as well. I will be sending out notification to them just to keep them advised because we have a 90-day time frame under the local government act to respond to the withholding of that licence.” Marrs noted the Waterway manufacturing facility is currently in
use, prompting Coun. Fred Busch to ask, what for? Marrs said it’s being used for the licensed production of medical marijuana for clients who have a medical licence to use it. To this, Busch asked what the difference is between what is being proposed and what’s happening now. “It’s quite substantial,” replied Marrs. “The volume and the production level is significantly higher – it can be, it depends on the licence that is granted by Ottawa. And the new licensing would fall under the new regime in terms of medical marijuana production, so they can actually manufacture and sell it as a commercial operation.” Marrs went on to ex-

plain district staff was never informed or made aware of a business licence being granted for that use, which he guessed has been going on for a year or two. “When I made inquiries to our local detachment, they did some research on it, and the sergeant came back to me and indicated they were operating under the old set-up… and have the ability to do it. There was no legal requirement for them to notify the district,” said Marrs, adding the federal government’s new regulations, which move marijuana production from households to commercial facilities, were supposed to come into effect in April.

over, allowing time for the new regulations to be contested. That injunction is being contested by the federal government. At the March 26 council meeting, a lawyer representing Waterway Houseboats spoke against a proposed district bylaw amendment for medical marijuana production. Jeff Robinson of Rush Ihas Hardwick argued that setbacks prescribed in the bylaw would prohibit his client’s tenant from using the former manufacturing facility for the production of medical marijuana. Council, however, voted in favour of the bylaw. A biography on the 1937 Enterprises website describes the company as a familyowned business located in Sicamous. “The family has a background in the tourism business and is starting up this new venture as a way of expanding our local economy during this exciting changeover in the business regulations concerning the marijuana industry,” states the website, which offers a “free gram of weed” to those who sign up early. As of July 24, there were 13 licences approved by Health Canada for medical marijuana production under the new regulations. Five of those are B.C.based businesses.

RCMP REPORT
Post office robbed of stamps and coins Approximately $2,300 in stamps and coins were stolen from the post office. Sicamous RCMP Const. Dusty Miller said the theft was reported on July 25, and occurred sometime overnight. “We are actively investigating it but sadly
don’t have many leads,” said Miller, who asks those with any relevant information to contact the Sicamous detachment at 250-826-2878, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-2847. From the police investigation so far, Miller says it is believed the suspect waited in the
lobby where the mailboxes are located until it got dark. “It’s an automatic lock, and so once it got dark, at around 10:30 or so – it locks at 7 p.m. – they went into the lobby there and had their way with all the stuff, and went right out the front door,” said
Miller. “And with all the power outages and stuff, the alarm didn’t catch them in time.”
Fuel swiped
Diesel and tools were taken in a breakin at the local highway contractor’s work yard. The theft from JPW Road and Bridge Inc.’s
road construction and maintenance in Malakwa was reported on July 28. Miller says 120 litres of diesel were stolen as well as various tools. Police welcome any tips that might assist with the ongoing investigation.
District receives $5,000 grant for health By Chelsea Grainger Eagle Valley News
Sicamous Council has given the go-ahead to an initiative that will focus on making Sicamous a healthier community. The district has been given $5,000 from BC Healthy Communities to engage in the development of healthy community partnerships and support health and well-being
in Sicamous. The Eagle Valley Resource Centre spearheaded the initiative and the district submitted the application for funding on their behalf. BC Healthy Communities requires that in order to achieve the goals of funding, the district must be involved in the initiative. At the general meeting on July 9, there was debate in regards to how much involvement
council was willing to give. “Our staff has got enough on their plate already,” said Coun. Don Richardson. “I just think we should be at arm’s length.” Despite council already being busy, Coun. Suzanne Carpenter took it upon herself to participate on behalf of council so that funding was not lost and the project can go ahead. “It needs to be done,
people wanted this grant,” said Carpenter. Carpenter will be participating in organizing a healthy community public meeting in order to get the input from the community on what they would like to see when it comes to healthy living in Sicamous. Carpenter said she wants to host the meeting before the end of summer so that she gets input from both perma-
nent and seasonal residents. “From the meeting we will be able to move forward,” said Carpenter, noting that a portion of the funding will be used to host the meeting, and the rest will be used when plans have been finalized.

Charity begins at Revenue Canada
R
elieving poverty is a charitable cause, preventing it is not. By now Canadians are aware of the Harper government’s hostile view of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), particularly when their agenda conflict’s with the prime minister’s. Audits are one of the tools the government has employed against those outspoken critics who receive charitable status. According to Canadian Press, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is conducting audits on at least 52 NGOs, including the David Suzuki Foundation and West Coast Environmental Law, to assure their compliance with guidelines restricting political activity. Another NGO’s charitable status is now at risk, but not for opposing pipelines or increased oil tanker traffic. No, Oxfam Canada is in the CRA’s crosshairs over a mission statement. In its application to Industry Canada for renewal of non-profit status, Oxfam states its purpose is to “prevent and relieve poverty, vulnerability and suffering…” In response, the CRA has told Oxfam that while relieving poverty qualifies as charitable, preventing poverty does not. The CRA’s logic is that the 50-plus-year-old charitable organization might use its clout to benefit those who are not poor (which would seem to be the job of politicians). While we’re unaware of any particular projects where Oxfam Canada has utilized its resources to improve the condition of those who ‘have,’ they do tend to focus on empowering people, working to provide the knowledge, skills and tools to help people help themselves, so as to elevate their socioeconomic position. Oxfam Canada also speaks out against political injustices that fuel poverty and put the lives of people at risk. A case in point would be Oxfam’s campaign to get Canada and other nations to take more stringent action on tax evasion and avoidance. This is something the CRA is in fact attempting to do via the Offshore Tax Informant Program. This “snitch line” has wound up being more successful than anticipated, however, and critics are now questioning whether the CRA, which has been severely downsized in recent years, can see the job through. It can’t help when they’re also having to focus on keeping charitable organizations in line.

Difficult process facing young drivers By Tom Fletcher News Columnist
VICTORIA – A recent column on the B.C. government’s decision to raise speed limits on portions of rural highways excited numerous comments from readers. Some questioned my suggestion that today’s new drivers are worse because they spend their formative years staring at screens in the back seat instead of looking out the window and grasping the grim physics of the real world. There is no doubt that B.C.’s graduated licensing system for new drivers is more difficult than what my generation faced. Those vehicle stickers with the “L” (for learner) and “N” (novice), have been around since 1998. ICBC statistics show what new drivers are up against. First there is the written “knowledge test” to obtain a
learner’s permit. From 2004 to 2008, more than half of applicants failed in their first attempt. Things improved in subsequent years, with a 46-per-cent failure rate in 2009, declining to 42 per cent by 2013. The first road test is required to go from “L” to “N.” The failure rate has been consistently around 47 per cent in the past six years. More practice and another $35 are required to try again. Students fare better on the second road test, where the failure rate has consistently been 21 to 22 per cent for the past decade. ICBC reports that in the first three years of the graduated licence program, the new driver crash rate dropped by 16 per cent. In 2003, the required learner and novice period were extended, and restrictions on the novice stage were increased. New driver crashes fell by another 28 per cent. Those restrictions include the number of passen-

gers and a “zero tolerance” for alcohol. Impaired crash and injury statistics aren’t available for drivers in the graduated licence program, only fatalities. They grew as more new drivers were enrolled in the new system, to a high of 24 in 2007, but that declined to 14 by 2012. A couple of readers were concerned about the effect of higher rural speed limits on older drivers. One suggested that higher limits on rural highways are a poor mix with vacationing seniors hauling around oversized motor homes, trailers and boats. Another cited the coming wave of retired baby boomers and added a likely increase in marijuana-impaired drivers, all emboldened by the invitation to drive faster. B.C.’s medical health officers issued a letter denouncing the decision by Transportation Minister Todd Stone to raise speed

limits. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall said the research is clear that higher speeds increase the risk and severity of incidents. Then there is the government’s own position, articulated in a road safety strategy released last year by Attorney General Suzanne Anton. “Research is conclusive that at higher speeds, more people are killed and injured in the traffic system,” it states. “At lower speeds, fewer are killed and injured as a direct result of the safety buffer that lowered speeds create.” The strategy notes that new technologies such as adaptive cruise control are becoming available. B.C. is also testing electronic highway speed limit signs that change with weather and traffic conditions. Next comes self-driving vehicle systems, so drivers will be able to check their phones again.

Peace broken by motorcycle event Open letter to District of Sicamous: I was awoken by a loud rock band at 4 a.m. this past weekend. This appears to be just fine in the eyes of the town. I went to look at some real estate on the river and, as I drove through town, I saw horrible tire burnout marks all over our downtown area. I won’t be buying any real estate here. I did not witness the event of burnouts in Sicamous, but I hope the town has insurance to cover the cost of an accident should people be hurt, maimed or killed during these daredevil acts. If sued, the town would have to declare
bankruptcy. I phoned the RCMP regarding this matter and was told that the town has all the say. I don’t like the tire/ burnout marks all over the downtown. It makes the town look dirty and cheap. It is worse than graffiti. I don’t like to be woken up at 4 a.m. and forced to listen to loud, amplified music. Having lived here since 1971, I now feel that it is time to leave. I am going to move to Salmon Arm where such acts aren’t sanctioned. It used to be so peaceful here. Tim Trylinski

Wireless service extended on TCH By Lachlan Labere Eagle Valley News
Telus continues to extend wireless service to the Eagle Valley. The telecommunications company announced last week that it has invested $600,000 to build a new wireless service site. This will service approximately 10 kilometres along the Trans-Canada Highway between Sicamous and Malakwa. “This stretch of Highway 1 is very well-travelled during the summer months, and we are happy to bring more coverage to the area during this busy travel season,” said Bert Baybrook, Telus general manager for the Kamloops/Cariboo, adding residents and travellers will now have improved wireless reception along the route, “whether they’re simply staying in touch while on the road or dialing 911 in the case of an emergency.” The project is part

of the 10-year Connecting British Columbia Agreement Telus signed with the B.C. government in 2011. Under the terms of the agreement, TELUS will invest to connect more than 1,700 kilometres of unconnected highways with wireless service. This investment includes the construction of two cellular towers, one in Malakwa and one in Three Valley Gap. Telus spokesperson Shawn Hall told the News these two projects alone represent about a $1 million investment. “These days people want to be able to stay Think first... connected when they’re travelling,” commented Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo in a news release. “Bringing this service to this part of Highway 1 allows Clowning around: Netanyel Quessy finds himself part of people to do that, and Uncle Chris the Clown’s show at the Sicamous library last Wednesday it also improves safety in the third Summer Reading Club special event of the month.
