Police investigating four-vehicle collision By Lachlan Labere Eagle Valley News
Police are investigating a four-vehicle collision that occurred last Wednesday on the Bruhn Bridge. The collision occurred on Aug. 5 at approximately 6 p.m., when a driver was attempting to turn left from the bridge onto Old Spallumcheen Road. Police say an approaching westbound semi tractor-trailer rear-ended a vehicle waiting for the turning vehicle, thus creating a domino effect
where the first impacted vehicle rear-ended another in front of it, which in turn collided with the turning vehicle. Sicamous RCMP, East Traffic Services and BC Ambulance were among emergency service personnel who responded to the collision, which closed the bridge for about an hour before it was opened to single-lane, alternating traffic. Sicamous RCMP say only minor injuries resulted from the collision, and injured persons were transported to hospital in Salmon Arm.

Glen did not resurface.” Glen’s friends called for help and an immediate search yielded no results. The RCMP dive team was brought in and, with assistance

Argument against sewer connection holds water By Lachlan Labere Eagle Valley News
Not having water proved a persuasive argument for not meeting the looming sewer connection deadline. As of Nov. 30, all Sicamous residences on the east side of the nar-
rows capable of being connected to municipal sewer must be, according to the District Sewer Rates and Regulations Bylaw No. 194. Council turned down two requests to extend that deadline, while a third request, not for an extension but an ex-
emption from hooking up to sewer, was difficult to argue. It was submitted by Mervyn Road resident Judith Latosky who, in a letter to the district, explains she doesn’t have water. “Since I do not have water on this property and it seems that there

Bylaw may address noisy boat concerns By Barb Brouwer Eagle Valley News
Despite wishful thinking on the part of some Shuswap Lake users, loud, speedy boats are not likely to be banned. Contrary to a recent News story, cigar boats have not been prohibited from Okanagan Lake, they have simply been regulated through a noise bylaw, says Columbia Shuswap Regional District bylaw enforcement officer Tammy Jones. Jones says the CSRD board asked her and fellow bylaw enforcement officer Leanne Robertson to look into how the boats are being
dealt with on Okanagan Lake. She says a noise bylaw is being used on Okanagan Lake to reduce the impact of the boats, something CSRD could look at doing either through a new noise bylaw or a good neighbour bylaw. “If we were to entertain something, our bylaw would be specific to noise,” she says, noting there is no speed prohibition except in the channels or within 30 metres of the foreshore. “There are regulations in regards to causing erosion on the foreshore through the Environmental Management Act.” RCMP and conser-
vation enforcement officers do have some authority on the lakes with regards to safety and environment. “If we bring in any kind of bylaw, we won’t regulate and our bylaw won’t mimic a task other organizations are doing,” she says. “What that’s going to look like is something we don’t know, but our bylaw will merely apply to a level of noise – unless of course our board asks us to do a bit more.” But don’t look for the regional district to be able to do anything about excessive speed. There are no regulations regarding speed and any changes would require federal legislation.
“I almost think we have a couple of problem (boat) owners that are rip-roaring around the lake,” Jones says, noting the complaints come from a few areas where the boats are noisily starting up and idling rather than the ones that are blasting up and down the lake. “It’s seasonal; they only stay for two weeks and then we don’t hear from that area until the following year. It seems to be 10 to 12 boats on the water that wreak havoc then leave.” Jones says the noise bylaw and increased education seems to have helped reduce the number of cigar boats on Okanagan Lake. But
RCMP warn of Revenue Canada phone scam Police are warning the public of a Canada Revenue Agency phone scam that has come to the area. In this scam, a person will receive a phone call from someone claiming to be from Revenue Canada, saying that taxes are owed. “The victim is pres-

Channel dredging issues drag on
T
he federal government’s foot dragging over dredging the Sicamous channel must come to an end. Last weekend, the community once again had the privilege of hosting the annual Sicamous Antique and Classic Boat Show. As striking as the vintage vessels on display were, it was difficult not to notice how low the water is in the channel. The reduced depth has resulted in a narrower navigable waterway. Subsequently, boats in the show had to be moved to allow other vessels to get by. In this regard, the low water has made the channel a safety concern. This was the fifth year for the boat show – a unique attraction that fits well with Sicamous’ nautical history. The channel is a crucial part of that history, which extends well back before European settlement, to when the area was home to the Splatsin and was known as a meeting place among the Secwepemc Nation, and the waters of the Shuswap served as their highways. While the channel has obviously seen substantial change since then, it is still very much depended on by humans. Of course, it is also considered critical fish habitat for juvenile chinook, sockeye and coho salmon. Though current development on the channel hasn’t appeared to have changed this fact, and despite the channel having been dredged in the past (1981 is the last year on record), for the past 20-plus years the federal government, particularly Fisheries and Oceans, has been reluctant to allow further dredging. The district has been struggling with the federal government about this since 1985 (https://sicamous.civicweb.net/Documents/DocumentList.aspx?ID=28287). Current Mayor Terry Rysz says the Splatsin have offered some support in having the channel dredged, and talks continue. No doubt these parties recognize the importance of protecting fish habitat, as well as the historical importance of the channel to human activity. This while appreciating the changes that have occurred and are occurring that have resulted in this year’s rapid drop in water levels throughout the Shuswap (http:// www.shuswaplakewatch.com/today.php). With the channel being the federal government’s jurisdiction, it’s crucial they too take part in this discussion, ideally with an understanding that protecting/preserving human activity and fish habitat in the channel need not be mutually exclusive.

Sorting through federal election issues By Tom Fletcher News Columnist
VICTORIA – The first, and perhaps the only complete English-language debate in this long federal election campaign has helped define the issues, and the non-issues. I’m not going to try to tell you who “won” or “came out swinging,” because this is not a sporting event. If you’re paying attention in August, bless you, and you probably have a favourite already. First, let’s deal with Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s diabolical scheme to extend the length of the formal election period. This, according to national pundits, is an extension of his evil plot to attract more financial supporters than the other parties, and spend the money. In other words, it’s a non-issue and any opponent who dwells on it looks like a whiner. This is the first election in modern Canadian his-
tory to follow a four-year schedule. National pundits spent months telling us Harper was going to use a loophole in his own election law to call a spring vote before the economy tanked. Didn’t happen, and now the Conservatives are rightly under scrutiny about their economic management. Incumbent manipulation of election timing is over, and that’s good. Another non-issue is the non-existent deficit and recession that supposedly grips Canada. On actual results, there is a slim surplus, and if – a big if – Saudi Arabia continues to depress world oil prices, there may be a modest deficit by next spring. The Bank of Canada’s recent move to devalue the dollar has already produced a rebound in exports and tourism, which any government would appreciate. Have you tried to find parking at the mall lately? Of particular interest to B.C. voters is the contest be-

tween NDP leader Thomas Mulcair and Green Party leader Elizabeth May. May used what may be her only national debate appearance to press Mulcair to oppose the TransMountain pipeline expansion project before hearings are complete. Mindful of Adrian Dix’s disastrous 2013 decision to do the same in B.C., Mulcair insisted he would wait for the federal review, even though he considers it to be inadequate. This is, of course, all theatre. Based on their actions, the NDP, Green Party and Liberals are all opposed not just to oil pipelines but export gas pipelines as well. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau wants to cancel capital cost allowances for liquefied natural gas investment that have been granted by B.C. and Ottawa, which could be a deal-breaker for LNG. B.C. NDP leader John Horgan formalized his opposition to the TransMountain expansion last week,

in a letter filed with the National Energy Board. But we’re expected to believe that Mulcair has a different position, for now. Harper was forced to admit his long effort to persuade U.S. President Barack Obama to approve the Keystone XL pipeline has failed, and the project will have to wait until Obama leaves office next year. The debate also confirmed positions on Canada’s modest role in bombing Islamic State terrorist positions in Iraq and Syria. The Conservatives are for it, and the Liberals, NDP and Greens are against it. Trudeau set the stage for the contest in Quebec, which B.C. voters can only watch from afar to see if it once again decides the shape of their federal government. Trudeau pushed Mulcair on his cynical bid to court the separatist voters who suddenly swung to Jack Layton’s NDP in 2011. Like petroleum prices, it’s beyond our control.

Autocratic leadership leaves voter cold Longest election campaign ever in Canada! What a shame, but no surprise! I’ve never been partisan, so the political party I vote for fluctuates throughout the years. But what I will not vote for is a party that is led by an autocratic leader. So for me, this time round, it is anything but Conservative. I am proud of being Canadian and do not agree
with Harper’s ongoing degradation of our democratic values. This upcoming election is a critical one when considering the serious consequences if Stephen Harper should be re-elected. Harper is very cunning when it comes to crafting legislation that restricts democratic freedom and fair play. The election has been referred to, by investiga-
tive journalist Michael Harris, as the Rubicon election...a limit or point that we reach when the results of our actions cannot be changed. This election is a decision about ourselves as a country. Think I am exaggerating about Harper being an autocrat? Here are a few book titles that might be of interest to you: Harperism: How

Reader dismayed by proposal for new dog park Having just read the article in the Eagle Valley News, re: a new dog park, I am dismayed. Sicamous is very fortunate to have a great doggie park by the maintenance ground and the sewer plant right in our community, so why the request to section off an
area for dogs to run in a small beautiful neighbourhood park? This park is a very relaxing spot to spend some time in. It has dogs in mind by supplying doggie bags and garbage receptacles, as well as a public bathroom, playground equipment, benches
and an asphalt pathway for scooters, wheelchairs etc. I believe we need to have green space (not brown space), in different subdivisions, but to have dog parks taking up real estate in each area is a little much to ask of Sicamous. Certainly, they do

Sicamous shares in Kelowna Heat win at championships The Kelowna Heat U18 Girls fastball team battled hard this past weekend to bring home a silver medal at the U18 Western Canadian Championships, held in Lloydminster, Sask. The team qualified for Westerns (July 31 to Aug. 3) with a gutsy effort in Nanaimo two weeks earlier, placing fourth in the province. The qualification to the Westerns allowed the Heat one last chance to close out the season with a medal, and they didn’t disappoint. The formula for success was executing on a strategy of a mixed offence built on speed, bunting and power hitting, backed up with solid pitching, and a tight defence. They had a 3-1 record through the roundrobin, while outscoring there competition 37 to 25. Nanaimo surprised them with a nail-biter 5-6 loss at the start of the playoffs. This sent the team down the longer path to fight back into medal contention. The girls dug deep and won their next three games in convincing style versus St. Albert (8-0), Manitoba #2 (13-3) and Nanaimo (8-0). The redemption win against Nanaimo guaranteed the team at least a silver medal. In the ninth game of the weekend, the girls faced the un-beaten Manitoba Thunder, to determine the gold and silver winners. They held them to a 2-2 tie until the Thunder’s offence came alive in the fourth inning, with a couple big hits to gain the lead. The Kelowna Heat accomplished some-

Photo contributed thing that no other Kelowna team in their division has ever done, with a medal at the Western Championship. On the way to the final, the girls finished first in their pool after four games, and then had to play five more games to the medals. Through the nine games played over four days, the girls scored 74 runs, while allowing only 40 runs against. They mercied there opponent three times, won two games without allowing a run and, in their final four games, a very focused defence played almost error-free, allowing a total of only nine runs. “The team played through great adversity all weekend with countless injuries and a steady flow of ice, bandages and even crutches for one of the pitchers who sustained an ankle injury.” said coach Boyd Tyerman. “The pitching staff came out strong, keeping the op-
ponents run production down, while the rest of the team generated the offence required to claim a medal. It was a full team effort, with
every player contributing throughout the four days. “I have never coached a more deter mined group of young
ladies, they were highly focused and put forth an effort that definitely deserved bringing home some hardware.” Tyerman called the
Heat’s pitching effort, courtesy of Sicamous products Ann-Marie Crandlemire and Gina Selfe, spectacular. “Anytime your pitchers can strike-out 27 batters, and have a combined earned run average of only 1.1, good things are going to happen. Pitching Stats: Ann-Marie Crandlemire pitched for four wins (including shutouts), and 15 strikeouts, that was a remarkable effort considering she had just returned from months off with a leg injury. Gina Selfe was a workhorse pitching in six games with an ERA of only 2.45, while battling through a leg injury that developed through the weekend. All Pitchers combined for a team ERA of only 1.13 (earned runs against). During
the course of the weekend the pitchers earned 27 strikeouts.

Author seeks witness in UFO sighting
Report:
Author Rod Drown is seeking information regarding a UFO sighting that is reported to have occurred on April 2 in Gleneden.
Photo illustration
there are dozens of good sightings in B.C. in an average year and offers a number of websites which list them. For sightings in B.C., he suggests: http://ufobc. ca/, or, in Canada: http://www.canadianuforeport.com/survey/ UFOsOverCanada.pdf. The April sighting from Salmon Arm is not the only one in the Shuswap reported by a newspaper. In January 2004, the Eagle Valley News in Sicamous reported sightings by Mara Lake residents, Darryl and Lisa

Schwartz. They had been seeing unidentified objects in the skies from their home throughout November of 2003, but one night during a snowmobile trip in a nearby mountain, Darryl reported seeing a multicoloured disk hovering above the trees about a mile away. He watched the object for about 15 minutes. At that time he described it this way: “It didn’t look like anything I’ve ever seen. It was diamond-shaped with a cluster of lights and was the size of a
three-storey house. It hovered like a helicopter...” He became frightened and left. On Dec. 26, the couple saw another strange object from outside their house. It was zipping back and forth, at tree line, with many multi-coloured lights visible. Lisa recorded the disk-shaped object on video, and also called the police. A constable who was quoted in the newspaper confirmed that he saw “a bunch of lights” unlike anything he had seen before. Also interviewed for the article was a man from Houston, B.C., who investigated UFO sightings. He said sightings of unidentified objects in the Shuswap skies, particularly in the Mara Lake and Gardom Lake areas, had skyrocketed in 2003. If you happened to have witnessed the April 2 unexplained sighting in Salmon Arm this year, you can contact Drown via email at: rpdrown@hotmail. com.

Locally-owned businesses often put a larger share of their revenue back into their communities. Small business owners may be more inclined to employ local residents, giving more people in the community solid employment. Business owners may reach out and support other neighborhood efforts, such as fundraising initiatives for charities and schools. By shopping at local stores, you have a hand in supporting these efforts as well. ew p r n hi de ers Un wn o

Massive, grey, saucer-shaped. Unusual air traffic is reported to have entered the skies of Salmon Arm in April of this year. And a New Westminster man would like to hear more about it. Rod Drown is writing a book on Unidentified Flying Objects – or UFOs – in B.C. dating back to 1890s. He noticed what he describes as “one of the most dramatic sightings I have ever heard of” when he was looking over the National UFO Reporting Centre website. There he found the description of a UFO sighting which occurred April 2, 2015 at 5:30 p.m. It was reported on May 3 and posted to the site on May 8. Its location was Salmon Arm, its shape was listed as ‘disk,’ and the duration of the sighting was 20 minutes. The posting reads as follows: “Massive grey saucer shape, low altitude, moved towards me. “I was inspecting a
new lake lot we bought and were building on when I saw what looked like snow on the mountain. It soon became clear it was not snow and the saucer object with a large deep belly was moving towards my position. It was still sunny but there was no reflection. “The craft was massive and grey like concrete. Made no sound and left no visible trails. Hovering at 600-1,000 feet. About the width of two football fields. No details like doors or markings could be seen. I chose to leave before it got closer. “People near Gleneden, or across the tracks downtown must have saw something.” Drown would like to hear from the author of the post or anyone else who might have witnessed the spectacle. He is writing his book because “UFOs to me are the greatest mystery of modern times” and he thinks a book dedicated exclusively to sightings in B.C. would be a valuable addition to existing literature on the topic.

Your Horoscope
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 You’re very good at marching to the beat of a different drummer, Aries. But keep in mind that sometimes it’s advantageous to follow along with what others are doing.
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Your life can’t always be a bundle of excitement, Scorpio. Sometimes you have to sit back and enjoy those periods that are not so on-the-go. Relish in the slower pace.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you hope that others appreciate what you are doing for them this week. You may not get a verbal thank-you, but expect some to show their appreciation in other ways.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, others are looking to you for advice this week. Give any inquiry the thoughtful consideration it deserves, doing your best to take others’ concerns to heart.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, many people are willing to lend you a helping hand when you need one. Make the most of their generosity, and then give back whenever possible. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, enjoy the fruits of your labor this week. You worked hard, and now is a great time for you to rest, relax and catch up with some old friends. Good times are ahead. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, leave room for others to share their opinions after expressing your own. It never hurts to see another’s point of view, and a loved one’s opinion may prove enlightening.
