Recently appointed NDP environment critic made a stop in Merritt last week to check out progress on the Merritt Green Energy Project, a 40 megawatt biomass-fired power plant for BC Hydro. “This project and its twin project [in Fort St. James] are a good model, they show every sign of success, and they will pave the way for other green energy projects using material that would otherwise have been waste,” said
Heyman told reporters after his tour. “I also think this is just a tremendous opportunity to see some economic development in Merritt itself as well as stable long term jobs being created in Merritt. During the construction phase I’m sure the indirect employment for the service industry is quite tremendous as well.” Heyman had much to say about energy in the province, and argued that rather than spending money on mega projects like the Site C dam near Fort St. John, the government should invest in
energy conservation in public, commercial, and residential buildings. He also pointed to the Revelstoke Unit 6 Project, which he said would produce 45 per cent of the power generated by Site C for an eighteenth of the cost. He also said he’d like to see the province explore the option of investing in the renewable energy industry. “Prices for solar energy and wind energy have dropped very, very steeply in the past ten years and they’re continuing to go down steeply while the storage
technology is improving and the actual energy-generating technologies are getting better every day,” he said. “But we’re not saying to the people of British Columbia, ‘Trust us, our idea is better than the Liberals,’’ we’re saying put them both before the BC Utilities Commission, and let’s let some independent experts make a decision about what’s best for British Columbians, from the point of view of providing the energy we need at a cost effective way as well as creating jobs over the long term.”
Merritt Green Energy Project (MGEP), the giant $230 million skeletal metal structure that sits just off Midday Valley Road in the southwest of town, will be up and running by July, according to Wayne Clarke, plant manager for Veolia North America. “Construction is looking good, we’re looking at putting first fire in about the third week of July,” said Clarke. About six months of commissioning and startup will commence, and the plant is expected to be operating around December. “We’ve got a majority of the pieces all sitting here, everything is in place,” he said. “We’ve got good, qualified trades people here, and things are going very well.” It is no accident that the project was placed within a stone’s throw to the Tolko mill. The plant’s boilers will create energy entirely from fuel harvested from waste from surrounding lumber operations. The 40 megawatt plant will generate 285,000 megawatt hours of electricity per year — enough to power about 40,000 homes per year. A 30-year power-selling agreement with BC Hydro is in place.

NVIT seeks partnership with city for student job placement Michael Potestio THE MERRITT HERALD
The Nicola Valley Institute of Technology’s (NVIT) Steps Forward program is hoping to strike a formal partnership with the City of Merritt that involves job placement for its students. The program aims to give students with developmental disabilities more independence by having them take one to three courses per semester in an area of study of their choosing. After four to five years of schooling, students obtain a certificate of completion. The work in each program is modified to meet each individual’s abilities. At a city council committee of the whole meeting in February, program facilitator Lisa DeWinter described the way students are taught as being at a small, incremental
approach. “For example, for me and you, it would be step one and step two. For a student that I work with it would be step one: A, B, C, D, E, F, G all the way through, and then you would get to [step] two,” DeWinter told council.
The post secondary institution has offered the program for five years and this spring will produce its first graduate, DeWinter said. “Unfortunately, we have systems in place that make getting meaningful employment very difficult,” DeWinter told council. At the meeting she asked the city to provide inclusive hiring practises. She told the Herald that this would involve taking the most flexible position with the city and modifying it to provide one of their students with a full-time job. No direction was provided to city staff from council at the committee meeting, but chief administrative officer Shawn Boven told the Herald he intends to follow up with council and discuss the possible partnership with the city’s corporate officer.

MUNICIPAL BUDGET 2016
Council gives out $14,000 in three grant funds $3,000 for the Merritt’s PeeWee Rep Hockey, $5,000 for the chamber of commerce’s Forestry Week event and $6,000 for the Nicola Valley Community Arts Council’s 2016 operating year. Michael Potestio THE MERRITT HERALD
Merritt city council handed out $14,000 in grant funds to local groups in one regular council meeting this past Tuesday (March 8). Three grants were approved unanimously. Council was feeling generous as an impromptu item was added by mayor Neil Menard to the agenda to help fund Merritt’s PeeWee Rep Hockey team’s trip to the provincial playoffs being played in the Lower Mainland this week. “All of the teams of a certain size — the size of our city — go to North Vancouver from all over the province and they play for the gold, silver and bronze,” Menard told the Herald. Menard suggested giving the team $1,500 to cover their expenses, but Coun. Dave Baker suggested

things to bring recognition to our town and I think this is a perfect way of doing it,” Baker told his fellow council members.
Council carried a motion to give the team $3,000. The other grants approved were initially differed for more information. The chamber of commerce was given $5,000 from the Community Initiative Budget to support their Forestry Week logger sports show happening Sept. 23 to 25 at Central Park. The grant request was initially put on hold to obtain confirmation the event has sponsors and participants, which the chamber provided council. Another $6,000 was given to the Nicola Valley Community Arts Council for their 2016 operating year from the Grant-in-Aid budget. The decision to fund this grant was put on hold, and the arts council has since provided an update of planned events for the year. reporter@merrittherald.com
It appears that the Town of Merritt will receive no further assistance with police costs, at least not in the near future. Police costs for Merritt this year are up about $10,000 due to wage increases, the inflated cost of materials and the new policy of paying overtime to members of the force. In December last year, with the agreement of Council, a letter was written to the Attorney General to request that the province pay all cost increases resulting from payment of overtime. The Town was not made aware of this particular financial responsibility when it agreed to contract policing to the RCMP. The Town’s letter has just been answered by the Minister of Municipal Affairs, James Lorimer.

2016 construction values hit $1 million mark A total of nine permits have been issued this year, and the city has been getting more inquiries from warehousing, construction and transportation companies from out of town Michael Potestio THE MERRITT HERALD
It’s been a great start to 2016 for construction values. The City of Merritt is reporting the $1 million mark has already been surpassed for the value of development permits it’s handed out through January and February. This pales in comparison to the $6.6 million in construction values the first two months of 2015 brought in, but it far exceeds the $271,000 generated in the same amount of time in 2014. That spike in 2015 was due primarily to the development permits for the Merritt Green Energy project — a large industrial development that contributed $13 million of a total $27 million in construction values last year. The $1 million in construction values was not aided by more MGE permits, but rather construction projects for other large developments in town. “The biggest ones are the plumbing permits for the hotels,” said City of Merritt planning and development manager Sean O’Flaherty. More development permits for MGE are expected later this year,
O’Flaherty said. In total there have been nine development permits issued from January through February 2016. Those construction values are worth $1,004,747 and have brought in $6,520 in fees to city coffers. Over the same amount of time last year there were 17 permits issued worth $6,639,185, which brought $36,699 in fees to the city. In 2014, there were 13 permits issued worth $271,000, which brought in $4,078 in fees. Construction values in Merritt have been on the rise the last few years. In 2013, construction values were $4.1 million, in 2014 that value was approximately $11,600,000 and in 2015 it was about $27 million. O’Flaherty said the city is currently fielding interest from a number of developers. “We’re getting a lot of inquiries, we’re sitting down with a lot of investors and developers from out of town — doing site selection, looking at land opportunities [and] development opportunities,” O’Flaherty told the Herald. He said that these inquiries are coming from warehousing, construction and transportation companies.

HERALD OPINION MP REPORT
Fairness and taxpayers From time to time some of the more significant issues that arise out of Ottawa do not originate from within the House of Commons. This is certainly the case this week as news reports from the CBC regarding a compliance and enforcement decision by the Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) has created considerable reaction among many Canadians. If you are unfamiliar with this specific issue it has been reported by CBC that a major Canadian accounting firm advised affluent Canadians to invest significant amounts of money outside of Canada for the purposes of either tax mitigation or outright tax avoidance. A further investigation revealed through internally leaked CRA documentation DAN ALBAS that an agreement View from the HILL between CRA and those involved resulted in an agreement to pay back taxes owed without further penalty, fines or prosecution. It has been further reported that the CRA also insisted on a confidentiality clause so this deal would not be publicly disclosed. News of this confidential deal has created considerable reaction in large part as most Canadians who have encountered similar challenges with the CRA have faced fines with interest, prosecution and even in extreme cases garnishment, asset seizure and foreclosure. The perception here is that a deal was offered by the CRA that would not be available to most Canadians.

YOUR OPINION Taxpayers should have confidence in government institutions From Page 6 This situation in my view does raise serious concerns. Although elected officials do not make decisions related to compliance and enforcement by the Canada Revenue Agency there is an expectation of fairness and consistency to be applied equally to all Canadians. Federally elected officials can also expect accountability from public agencies such as Revenue Canada. In this specific case there is still information that is lacking. Who ultimately made this decision and the reasons why will need to be disclosed in a publicly transparent manner. It is critically important for taxpayers to have confidence in institutions such as the Canada Revenue Agency and the decision makers involved in compliance and enforcement actions. As I believe more information will be forthcoming on this subject I will provide further updates as they become available. Also occurring this week is a rare state dinner at the White House in Washington DC, where our Prime Minister will be a special guest. This dinner has created a significant amount of media interest in Ottawa as well as rampant speculation from political pundits. From a local perspective I am hoping that our Prime Minister will use this diplomatic opportunity to raise the critically important need for a new softwood lumber deal between Canada and the United States. Communities in Central OkanaganSimilkameen-Nicola such as Princeton, Merritt and West Kelowna all have at least one lumber mill that is a significant employer. As well, many surrounding communities such as Keremeos, Logan Lake and Summerland also have forestry-dependent small business operations. As forestry is an important industry to our region I am hopeful that our Prime Minister has success in advancing causes important to British Columbia and Canada at this rare event. I welcome your comments, questions and concerns and can be reached at Dan.Albas@ parl.gc.ca or toll-free at 1-800-665-8711.

Obama’s minimalist foreign policy By Gwynne Dyer
If the U.S. Congress had not imposed a two-term limit on the presidency in 1947 after Franklin D. Roosevelt’s record four electoral victories, President Barack Obama would be a safe bet for a third term next November. He inherited the worst recession since the Great Depression, and now the United States has the healthiest economy of all the major powers, with unemployment back down to 5.5 per cent. But Obama can’t run for president again, so the time has come for the pundits to start delivering their assessments on the success or failure of his policies. First up is Jeffrey Goldberg, national correspondent for The Atlantic magazine, with a lengthy article called “The Obama Doctrine” on the man’s conduct of American foreign policy over the past seven and a half years. As you would expect when discussing a man whose basic rule is “Don’t do stupid shit,” Goldberg’s piece is mostly an examination of what Obama didn’t do, not what he did. He didn’t go to war with the Assad regime in Syria. He didn’t get into a new Cold War with Russia over Ukraine. He didn’t bomb Iran, instead making a political deal to block its nuclear weapons ambitions. He didn’t attack North Korea even when it did test nuclear weapons. But in the Washington foreign policy establishment, where every conflict on the planet tends to be redefined as an American prob-
lem and almost unlimited military force is available to attack the problem, Obama’s approach was heretical. Democrats were just as opposed to his heresy as Republicans. Indeed, despite the wreckage of George W. Bush’s invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq that Obama’s administration inherited when it took office in early 2009, his own first secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, was a classic interventionist. After she left office in 2013, Clinton told Goldberg that “the failure to build up a credible fighting force of the people who were the originators of the protests against Assad . . . left a big vacuum, which the jhadists have now filled.” But Hillary Clinton actually got her way on Syria. The real failure of American policy on Syria in 2011 was the tolerance extended to Turkish, Qatari and Saudi Arabian shipments of arms and money that were intended to subvert the faltering non-violent revolution and replace it with an armed revolt whose goal was a Sunni Islamic state, not a secular democracy. Most Syrians would now agree that it would have been better to accept the failure of the non-violent movement and the continued rule of the execrable Assad regime than to see their country virtually destroyed. I suspect that Obama sees Clinton’s Syrian policy, in hindsight, as the greatest mistake of his time in office — but he did partially redeem himself by refusing to bomb Syria during the
?
HERALD QUESTION OF THE WEEK
“poison gas” episode of 2014. His fundamental insight — and his greatest break with the orthodoxy of the American foreign policy establishment — has been to understand that very little that happens or could happen in the Middle East is a threat to America’s vital interests. Even Israel’s well-being is only a sentimental consideration for the United States, not a strategic one, although like all American politicians he is obliged to pretend otherwise. Only if the Islamist extremists of the Nusra Front and Islamic State were to overrun all of Syria would Israel be in any danger, and the Russian military intervention in support of Assad’s regime since last September has largely eliminated that possibility. So Obama has been free to concentrate on the issues that he thinks are really important, and that is where he has made real progress. His foreign policy has been minimalist only with regard to the traditional “strategic” concerns inherited from the Cold War and America’s long, deep and mostly futile engagement with the Middle East. In his “pivot” to Asia, in reestablishing ties with Cuba, above all on the issue of climate change (which he rightly sees as the crucial issue for the next generation and beyond), he has been an activist in his foreign policy — and a largely successful one. Neither Hillary Clinton nor Donald Trump, the two main contenders for the succession, will be a patch on him.

said. The female driver and one of her passengers were transported via ground ambulance to hospital at about 10 a.m. in stable condition. A male passenger escaped the crash without injury. One of the women was said to have been in and out of consciousness according to an emergency dispatch. Emergency Health Services confirmed an air ambulance helicopter that landed at the Merritt airport was dispatched to the call but cancelled en route.
The position of corporate officer for Logan Lake has been filled, the district’s chief administrative officer Randy Lambright announced last week. Maria Mazzotta started on March 1, just three months after the previous corporate officer left the position for retirement. Lambright said she had extensive experience “consulting, researching, capacity building, administering, advising on sustainability and human resources.” Her most recent position was as ombuds officer for the University of British Columbia — Okanagan campus. She comes equipped with a Master’s degree in Public Administration as well as a Bachelor of Science. There are two aspects to the corporate officer position. The first is as a legislative link between council and the province. “They

Fines for 19 offences under the Wildfire Act, including interfering with wildfire protection efforts, are being increased to among the highest in Canada, Forests Minister Steve Thomson said last Thursday. The fine for failing to comply with fire restrictions such as campfire bans will increase from $345 to $1,150. A new penalty of failing to comply with a stop-work order made because of fire risk will carry a maximum penalty of $100,000 and one year in prison. Thomson said there are “constitutional” issues with a proposal to seize vehicles from people who toss cigarette butts out the window while driving, but the province is still considering its options. A proposal to ban people from B.C. parks if they violate campfire restrictions is also being considered, but is not included in the current changes. Thomson said the legislation will redefine “interference” with firefighters so it doesn’t mean intentional interference. That would apply to boaters who blocked air tankers from filling with water on Okanagan Lake, as well as the drone pilot who caused aircraft to land as vineyards, homes and a school around Oliver were threatened by fire. -Black Press

need to make sure that committees, council meetings, committee meetings, that the operation from a governance perspective is held in highest regard,” explained Lambright. “It has to be in compliance with the local government act, or the community charter or whatever provincial legislation is out there.” The other aspect of her new job will be in economic development. “We’ve had a couple of economic development interns, we’ve had a lot of reports repaired in terms of our strategy, business retention, council’s strategic plan — those types of things — but we need to get those implemented, and that requires a dedicated resource to do that,” he said. “I’m very glad to be contributing to the realization of the community’s goals as part of the great team at the District of Logan Lake,” said Mazzotta in a press release from the district.

Merritt minor hockey enjoys banner year Ian Webster THE MERRITT HERALD
It was a packed house at the MSS multi-purpose room last Thursday night as the Merritt Minor Hockey Association held its annual awards night. There was much to celebrate at the gala evening as the 2015-16 season was one of the most successful in MMHA history. Front and centre, and proudly on display were the five OkanaganMainline Amateur Hockey Association banners (above) won by
Merritt minor hockey teams this past season. They included the OMAHA tier 3 Michie conference atom development title and the tier 3 peewee rep league and playoff championships. Thompson-Okanagan superleague titles also went to Merritt’s bantam and midget recreation teams. By virtue of their playoff victory, the Merritt Ramada peewees earned a berth to this year’s provincial championships, which are currently underway in West Vancouver.
The Ramada peewees opened the BC championships on Sunday with a convincing 11-2 win over the host team. Monday, they were scheduled to play the Sunshine Çoast at 3:45 p.m. The score of that game was not available by press time. On Tuesday, Merritt plays Dawson Creek at 8:30 p.m., and on Wednesday, their opponents are Cranbrook at 8:45 p.m. The playoff rounds run on Thursday and Friday. Returning to the awards night on March 10, trophies and plaques were handed out to a large group
of deserving players for categories such as Most Improved, Most Sportsmanlike and Most Valuable Player. In addition, a number of special awards were also presented in memory of former MMHA players Trevor Graham, Suki Randhawa and Raymond and Leonard Grebliunas. This year, three graduating MMHA players received bursaries from the association to help with their future education endeavors. A large number of volunteers
were also honoured at the awards night for their time and effort in the areas of officiating, coaching and administration. A special presentation was also made to the family of young Merritt hockey player Kayla Gray who is currently in hospital in Vancouver battling cancer. A cheque for over $12,000 from the MMHA and Merritt’s men’s rec hockey association was turned over to Kayla’s sister Brooke and uncle Clint Garcia to help the Gray family with current and future medical expenses.
