Traffic calming measures planned ahead of Voght Street upgrades Online this week merrittherald.com

Mayor Brown pushes for traffic signal at Grimmett and Voght Street intersection.

Dara Hill THE MERRITT HERALD

City staff have pegged 2020 as the year to make Voght Street less congested and more safe for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians alike.

“There is going to be some significant work and some significant input that is going to come from the public as well as the council on what Voght Street needs to look like,” said Scott Hildebrand, CAO with the City of Merritt. “We need to keep in mind that this is the main entrance into our community, and we need

to make sure it’s effective, it’s efficient and — most importantly — safe.”

Included in the list of priorities is a traffic signal at the intersection of Grimmett Street and Voght Street, put forward

by Mayor Linda Brown.

“We’ve talked about it previously but because we didn’t have a CAO it missed the budget this year. Voght Street is getting absolutely loaded with traffic and we are aware of that.”

Council unanimously voted in favour of the proposal to research options for a proposed traffic signal at a regular

Walters Street near the hospital and near Central Elementary.

Yield signs — placed in the centre of residen-

tial streets to warn traffic to slow down — have also been proposed by Hildebrand, who said he has seen success with it in other communities.

In partnership with the community policing office and the RCMP, the city has also invested in a mobile speed sign that counts traffic volume and documents the average speed.

Residents may have spotted the speed sign already, as it has been put to the test on busy roads including Menzies Street, Reid Avenue and Voght Street.

“We will work with the RCMP to monitor closely and to also think of other ways to start calming traffic and making sure we are safe,” said Hildebrand.

Despite recent rains, the provincial government says drought conditions are worsening in the Nicola Valley, which has prompted the City of Merritt to impose watering restrictions for locals.

POLICE FILES

RCMP seeing more break-ins Merritt Mounties responded to six break and enters over the past week.

Dara Hill THE MERRITT HERALD

A 27-year-old Merritt man will spend 45 days in prison after he pleaded guilty to breaking into a business on Coutlee Avenue.

Calvin Dunn was identified through video surveillance steal-

ing several items from a local business on July 25.

Shortly after he committed the crime, Dunn was arrested near the Railyard Mall and held in custody for a court appearance, where he pleaded guilty.

Dunn’s theft is just one of six break and

enters Merritt RCMP have responded to over the past week.

Approximately $10,000 worth of personal belongings were stolen from a residence on the 1600 block of Hill Street on July 28.

The house was left unlocked and unattended after two male occupants had a party and left the residence for the remainder of the evening, along with their guests.

The next day the

pair noticed several pieces of clothing were missing from the home, including Gucci leather belts, shoes and a silver Rolex watch with a rose-coloured face.

The culprits also stole a gold chain from the resident’s unlocked vehicle.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Merritt RCMP at 250-378-4262 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

In an effort to ensure the safety of everyone in town this weekend, Merritt RCMP urge Rockin’ River attendees to make sure they are sober before they hit the road.

Officers plan to conduct road checks throughout the weekend, said Staff Sgt. Lorne Wood, including Monday when attendees are expected to leave the festival grounds.

Despite warnings from police last year, as many as 10 drivers were ticketed for impaired driving during an RCMP blitz.

It’s a tally Wood does not want to see repeated this year.

“If you are planning on getting intoxicated please ensure you give yourself enough time to sober up before driving,” said Wood.

VIEWPOINT EDITORIAL

River set to be rockin’ Once again, some of the biggest stars in country music are set to arrive in Merritt this weekCole Wagner end for the COLE’S NOTES Rockin’ River Music Festival.

As per usual, locals can expect the city’s population to briefly swell as tens of thousands of music fans descend on the Nicola Valley. Any stores that sell camping gear, booze or groceries will certainly welcome the influx of business generated by the festival — in the past, one store owner has told me this is the second busiest time of the year in Merritt (behind the holidays).

This will be the fourth time I’ve been in Merritt during the Rockin’ River festival, and I can confidently say the experience has become bigger and better with each passing year.

Kenny Hess and his team have spent years cultivating a different image for the Rockin’ River festival in Merritt than its somewhat notorious predecessor. The emphasis on maintaining a family-friendly atmosphere, with free tickets provided to locals for the Thursday night shows, have certainly helped in that regard.

It remains to be seen if having Live Nation come on board as a managing partner with the festival will change any of the culture that Hess worked to create — my hope would be that the spirit of the festival remains intact for years to come.

Love it or hate it, Merritt has staked much of its identity and tourism draw on country music. Without a major festival like Rockin’ River to draw headlining acts to town, the legitimacy of Merritt’ title of Country Music Capital of Canada could be called into question.

But for now — and especially for this weekend — we reign supreme.

Yee-haw.

The problem with Bug-Eyed Monsters “There is absolutely no procedure enshrined in international law to respond to a signal from an alien civilization,” said Martin Dominik, an astronomer at GWYNNE DYER the University of The international St. Andrews. “It STAGE makes sense to create a legally binding framework that is properly rooted in international law.”

Well, yes, it would make sense. But if the Bug-Eyed Monsters do send a message, would we really want to reply at all?

Bug-Eyed Monsters (BEMs), generally portrayed carrying off half-naked Earth maidens with evil intent, were a standard feature of pulp science fiction in the 1950s. We are all more sophisticated now, of course, but fear of alien contact is not necessarily irrational.

The specific reason for Prof. Dominik’s remarks is a survey of public attitudes towards alien contact that was launched this month

by London’s Royal Society and the UK SETI Research Network, but in broader terms it is

a response to two important developments in the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) that occurred in 2015.

One was a debate at the American Association for the Advancement of Science convention in 2015 about whether ‘Active SETI’ was a good idea. Should we advertise our existence and publish our address to the cosmos, or is that just asking for trouble?

Many of the scientists present backed a declaration that a “worldwide scientific, political and humanitarian discussion must occur before any message is sent.”

The other major event of 2015 was the launch of Russian-Israeli tech billionaire Yuri Milner’s ten-year Breakthrough Listen project, which is buying thousands of hours of time on the world’s most powerful radio telescopes to search over a million stars for artificial radio or laser signals.

This is ‘Passive SETI,’ and there’s certainly no harm in just looking for signs of the existence of other civilizations elsewhere in the galaxy. There is “no bigger question in science,” said the late Prof. Stephen Hawking, who was an adviser to the project. But if you find such a civilization, an enormous debate will immediately erupt over whether we should reply or not. Hawking thought not.

Editor Cole Wagner newsroom@ merrittherald.com

ranite Ave., PO Box 9, Merritt, B.C. Phone (250) 378-4241

Reporter Dara Hill reporter@ merrittherald.com

The Breakthrough Listen project has been up and running for several years now, and last month it announced that it has so far examined 1,000 star systems within 160 light years of Earth but detected no transmissions from alien civilizations.

However, even if there were ten thousand civilizations in the galaxy, the probability that one of them would be within 160 light years of us is very low. ‘ Moreover, they would have to be using a very powerful signal aimed specifically at us to be detected at that range. Old television programs do not travel across the galaxy intact.

(Sorry, Galaxy Quest.)

In fact, it is remarkably quiet out there, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that there are no other civilizations in our corner of the galaxy.

There is a rival hypothesis which suggests that there may indeed be one or more civilizations in our galactic neighbourhood, but that they are observing radio silence.

Why? Because they know or at least suspect that there is something big and bad and dangerous lurking out there in the dark, and they do not want to attract its attention.

OPINION LETTER

Imagining a response Important to recognize historical roots of B.C. before one is necessary to the editor

Editor,

As British Columbians celebrate B.C. Day on Aug. 5, it is important to be reminded what it means, how we got here and what lays ahead. How many are planning a long weekend BBQ , an extra day camping or an afternoon at the beach knowing that in 1974, Dave Barrett established B.C. Day to honour B.C. pioneers. We should also be reminded that long before Europeans arrived almost 300 years ago, First Nations peoples occupied and flourished in the pristine wilderness of what is now British Columbia, including the Okanagan. Fast forward to Aug. 2, 1858 and Westminster Parliament’s proclamation of the Crown Colony of British Columbia. As a province rich with natural resources we never looked back.

The truth is, we are extensions of our past with values learned that help guide our future and passed on to future generations. I believe profoundly the most important challenge we face is climate change and the impact on future generations. That is not to dismiss many other important issues we face, but our potential extinction as a species must be our paramount concern.

With the pending federal election we celebrate B.C. Day knowing we must send a message to Ottawa that will take on the challenges of climate change but with the spirit and fervour of our indigenous people’s affinity to Canada’s natural history. I will celebrate B.C. Day with my eyes on what my grandchildren will inherit knowing that the morning after the next federal election there is so much work for all of us to do.

From Page 6 This hypothesis is increasingly being called the ‘Dark Forest Problem,’ after the extraordinary success of Chinese science-fiction writer Liu Cixin’s ‘Three-Body Problem’ trilogy. It traces the calamitous consequences over four hundred years of an alien contact scenario, initiated by well-meaning human beings, that goes desperately wrong.

Nothing in the science we know makes this hypothesis plausible. Interstellar travel is virtually impossible, and neither trade nor conquest would be profitable at interstellar distances even if it did somehow became possible. The energy required and the time taken would simply be too great.

‘‘

‘Distance alone might not be enough to protect us from any illintentioned BEMs with a sufficiently high level of technology.’

Or so we assume, but our current level of scientific knowledge is probably not the last word on the subject. We still have much to learn even about the basic physics of the universe — the nature and role of ‘dark matter’ and ‘dark energy’, for example — and distance alone might not be enough to protect us from any ill-intentioned BEMs with a sufficiently high level of technology.

So Dominik is right: we do need to have an international discussion about whether we should make our existence known, should the intensified SETI research yield a positive result. And it would be wise to have it before the media circus that would erupt if we actually found a message.

Another of Milner’s programs, Breakthrough Message, is working on what kind of answer we might send, but its remit is clear. It has pledged “not to transmit any message until there has been a global debate at high levels of science and politics on the risks and rewards of contacting advanced civilizations.”

POLICE PRESENCE EXCESSIVE AT BIKER RALLY After receiving feedback from bikers over the last two weeks about last month’s Great Canadian Bike Rally, organizer Mike Fairfield said the police presence was excessive.

“We’ve just been inundated with complaints about the policing,” he said. “There needs to be something more appropriate for a community event like this.”

He said no complaints were lodged last year about the force, but he was concerned more officers would be present this year.

“Without our knowledge, they went ahead and did that and it, unfortunately, turned a lot of people away,” he said, citing general discrimination against bikers.

After the event, police identified four biker gangs that were in town, including a Hells Angels vendor.

NICOLA VALLEY NEWS SAFE COAST

Bass Coast partners with ASK Wellness to keep partiers safe Local organization tested 680 drug samples at this year’s festival.

Dara Hill THE MERRITT HERALD

Thanks in part to a handy testing device and crew of ASK Wellness staff, attendees were safer than ever at this year’s Bass Coast festival.

“The numbers are in and we feel this is the most successful year for Bass Coast Festival harm reduction yet,” according to the Bass Coast website.

For the first time in the festival’s 11-year run, ASK Wellness Society was brought on board to expand drug-checking services on site, a service Bass Coast first implemented last year.

Staff tested a grand total of 680 drug samples during this year’s event.

“The festival circuits throughout the province have ebbed and flowed over the years but one of the most consistent issues is the safety of festivalgoers who choose to use substances,” said Bob Hughes, executive director of the ASK Wellness Society.

Knowledge is power when it comes to substance use, said Hughes.

“Our hope is that by identifying contaminants in a substance people may rethink the decision to consume it,” said Hughes.

“In my mind it is an effort to swim up river before drugs are consumed and to basically have that conversation around dose, choice of drug, why you are using.”

The intent is not to shame people into not using drugs, Hughes added.

“But I think information is power and drug checking has the

“I know we would love to be a part of [Rockin’ River],” said Hughes. “I think obviously it is a different crowd but there are people choosing to use substances at any event like this.”

drug overdose at the Centre of Gravity festival in Kelowna last summer.

“That festival didn’t really have a harm reduction strategy and obviously didn’t have drug checking services provided. But sadly it definitely triggered the province to really define some practices for festival-goers and festival organizers,” said Hughes.

He added ASK Wellness is working with several other festivals this year, but

“We have comprehensive public safety plans that our security, medical and fire teams implement and we collaborate with local authorities to ensure integration with their services when necessary,” said Rockin’ River’s Becca Hess when asked about their harm reduction strategy.

“Further our medical team provides a full spectrum of festival health services to our attendees,” she added.

Beyond festivals,

Hughes said drug testing services are available on Thursdays in Merritt to anyone wishing to examine the substance they plan to use.

“Ultimately being able to identify any fentanyl and other substances is a life-saving intervention,” said Hughes.

As for Bass Coast, festival organizers continue to strive for safety and added 30 more volunteers to the harm reduction fleet this year.

A total of 110 friendly faces were on site ready to support anyone in need over the weekend, stationed all across the festival grounds.

The team also hosted three workshops during the festival on topics including partying sober, harm reduction tips and consent at music festivals “Thank you to the Bass Coasters for looking out for one another and bringing people to the sanctuary who were in distress.

You all contributed to our most successful year yet,” said Stacey Forrester, Bass Coast’s harm reduction manager.

PUBLIC NOTICE

Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC, as General Partner of Trans Mountain Pipeline L.P. Trans Mountain Expansion Project Notice of Proposed Detailed Route Pursuant to Paragraph 34(1)(b) of the National Energy Board Act

IN THE MATTER OF the National Energy Board Act and the Regulations made thereunder.

The process for considering statements of opposition will be as follows:

AND IN THE MATTER OF Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity OC-065 approving the general route of the Trans Mountain Expansion Project.

• Previous detailed route decisions, including conditions imposed by the Board, will stand if no statement of opposition is filed in relation to them within thirty (30) days following the publication of this notice. Accordingly, no action on the part of a landowner is required to ensure that Trans Mountain continues to be bound by the conditions in the original detailed route decisions.

AND IN THE MATTER OF an application by Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC, on behalf of Trans Mountain Pipeline L.P., (“Trans Mountain”), respecting the determination and approval of the detailed route for the construction of the Trans Mountain Expansion Project, approximately 1179.9 kilometres in length, commencing at Trans Mountain’s Terminal located in Sherwood Park, Alberta to Westridge Marine Terminal located in Burnaby, British Columbia as shown on the adjacent Route Map. If you anticipate that your lands may be adversely affected by the proposed detailed route of the Trans Mountain Expansion Project, you may oppose the proposed detailed route by filing a written statement of opposition with the National Energy Board (Board) within thirty (30) days of the publication of this notice. The written statement of opposition must set out the nature of your interest in the proposed detailed route and the grounds for your opposition to that route. In light of the previous detailed route processes that were conducted for the Trans Mountain Expansion Project in 2017 and 2018, the Board will only accept statements of opposition that raise concerns regarding a material change in circumstances from the original detailed route processes. A copy of any written statement of opposition to this detailed route must be sent to the following addresses: National Energy Board Suite 210, 517 Tenth Avenue SW Calgary, Alberta T2R 0A8 Attention: Sheri Young, Secretary of the Board Phone: 403-292-4800 Toll Free Fax: 1-877-288-8803 Email: TMX.ProcessHelp@neb-one.gc.ca Website: www.neb-one.gc.ca And to: Trans Mountain Expansion Project Suite 2700, 300 5th Ave SW, Calgary Alberta T2P 5J2, Attention: Alain Parisé, Director, Land Fax: 403-514-6401 Email: TMEP_Land@transmountain.com

• If a written statement of opposition is filed with the Board within thirty (30) days following the publication of this notice, the statement relates to a previous detailed route decision, and the statement raises concerns regarding a material change in circumstances from the original detailed route process, the Board will conduct a review of the previous detailed route decision.

• For detailed route hearings that were in progress on August 30, 2018 and no decision was issued, landowners and Indigenous communities need to register their continued objection by filing a statement of opposition within thirty (30) days following the publication of this notice. The Board will then continue the hearing and may add new process steps, as necessary, to address any valid concerns with respect to changed circumstances.

• Landowners and Indigenous communities that did not file a statement of opposition in the previous detailed route process, whose statement of opposition was rejected or that withdrew their statement of opposition prior to a detailed route hearing, may file a new statement of opposition within thirty (30) days following the publication of this notice. If the statement of opposition raises a material change in circumstances, the Board will hold a hearing to consider those concerns, in relation to any section or part of the pipeline affected by the concerns disclosed in the written statement.

The Board is not required to give any notice, hold any hearing or take any other action with respect to any written statement of opposition filed with the Board and may at any time disregard any such written statement if the person who filed the statement files a notice of withdrawal, or if it appears to the Board that the statement is frivolous, vexatious or is not made in good faith.

If the Board determines it appropriate to hold a public hearing, the Board will fix a suitable time and place for the hearing and will publish a notice of the hearing in at least one issue of a publication

in general circulation within the area in which the lands acquired or proposed to be acquired are situated. The Board will also send a notice of the public hearing to each person who has filed a written statement of opposition with the Board.

The public hearing will be conducted within the area in which the lands to which the statement relates are situated. The Board, or a person authorized by the Board, may make such inspection of the lands acquired or proposed to be acquired, or affected by, construction of the Trans Mountain Expansion Project, as deemed necessary by the Board.

If the Board determines a public hearing is required, the Board will permit each person who filed a written statement of opposition that met the requirements to make representations and may allow any other interested person to make representations before it as the Board deems proper. The Board will take into account all written statements of opposition and all representations made at the public hearing in determining the best possible route of the pipeline, and the most appropriate methods and timing of construction for the Trans Mountain Expansion. The Board may impose in any approval, such terms and conditions as it considers proper. Where the Board has held a public hearing in respect of any section or part of the Trans Mountain Expansion Project, and has approved or refused to approve the plan, profile and book of reference respecting that section or part, it will forward a copy of its decision and reasons to the Minister and each person who made representations to the Board at the public hearing.

The Board may fix such amount as it deems reasonable in respect of the actual costs reasonably incurred by any person who makes representations to the Board at such a public hearing, and the amount so fixed will be paid forthwith to the person

by Trans Mountain.

Copies of the plan, profile and book of reference for the detailed route of the Trans Mountain Expansion Project may be obtained by calling 1-866-514-6700 or emailing info@transmountain.com.

NICOLA VALLEY NEWS RETAIL CANNABIS

Council approves new stores Four stores have been given the green light by Merritt’s city council.

Dara Hill THE MERRITT HERALD

The tally of potential cannabis retail stores in Merritt has climbed to four after city council approved a second pair of applications — but unlike earlier applications, the councillors did not rule unanimously.

After a tight vote, both My Buddies at 3320 River Ranch Road and Opal Cannabis at 1999 Voght Street were given the green light by council at a regular meeting on July 23.

The two shops now join Hive Cannabis and Quilchena Cannabis — approved by council earlier this year — as Merritt shops in line for provincial approval.

While Hive Cannabis and Quilchena Cannabis both received unanimous support from council when they were approved in February, councillors expressed more reservations with the most recent applications.

Council voted 5-2 in favour of My Buddies. Councillors Adam Etchart and Kurt Christopherson were opposed.

Two members of the public shared their thoughts with the city on My Buddies’ application during the public

consultation period.

Both letters were from residents who live near the proposed store on River Ranch Road.

“Many of their concerns were around traffic to that proposed area, which continues to be a concern, and whether or not there is going to be a left turn into that site,” said Sean Smith, the city’s director of corporate services.

Concerns regarding the hours of operation and exterior lighting were also expressed.

“I can say in talking with the applicant and raising some of these concerns they do seem very committed to working with the neighbouring citizens,” said Smith. “We recognize that there are residents who are concerned and these are residents

who will be affected by this proposed development. But considering the zoning and the fact that it is property that has been sitting empty for some time now, staff does recommend with proceeding with making a recommendation to the province.”

Opal Cannabis was the second application on the table, which council approved 4-3. Coun. Melvina White joined Coun.

Etchart and Coun.

Christopherson in opposition.

Three letters were received from the public in response to Opal’s application. Key concerns included negative health effects of cannabis, negative effect on property values and a desire to see Merritt’s downtown grow in a

Instead of a cannabis store, the owner of Love To Dance Academy suggested the space be used for a dance, art and music centre.

Determining potential other uses for the building is largely outside of the city’s control, Smith noted.

“All in all we feel that this is within the scope of what council committed,” said Smith.

“Once again I can’t speak highly enough of the applicant and how professional they have been throughout this process. I think they have a very visually attractive shop and this would round out those four shops for council, subject to change.”

AVIS PUBLIC

Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC, à titre de commanditaire de Trans Mountain Pipeline L.P. Projet d’expansion de Trans Mountain Avis relatif au tracé détaillé proposé en vertu de l’alinéa 34(1)(b) de la Loi sur l’Office national de l’énergie EN CE QUI CONCERNE la Loi sur l’Office national de l’énergie et les règlements afférents.

Le processus d’examen des déclarations d’opposition se déroulera comme suit :

ET EN CE QUI CONCERNE le Certificat d’utilité publique OC-065 autorisant le tracé général du Projet d’expansion de Trans Mountain.

• Les décisions précédentes relatives au tracé détaillé, y compris les conditions imposées par l’Office, demeureront si aucune déclaration d’opposition n’est déposée relativement à ces décisions dans les trente (30) jours suivant la publication de cet avis. De même, les propriétaires fonciers n’ont aucune mesure particulière à prendre pour que Trans Mountain continue de se plier aux conditions imposées par les décisions relatives au tracé détaillé original.

ET EN CE QUI CONCERNE une demande faite par Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC, au nom de Trans Mountain Pipeline L.P., (« Trans Mountain »), à l’égard de la détermination et de l’approbation du tracé détaillé prévu pour la construction du Projet d’expansion de Trans Mountain, dont la longueur est d’environ 1 179,9 km, et ce à partir du terminal de Trans Mountain situé à Sherwood Park, en Alberta, jusqu’au terminal maritime Westbridge situé à Burnaby, en Colombie-Britannique, comme le montre la carte du tracé ci-jointe.

Si vous estimez que le tracé détaillé du Projet d’expansion de Trans Mountain peut nuire à vos terrains, vous pouvez vous y opposer en déposant une déclaration d’opposition écrite auprès de l’Office national de l’énergie (l’Office) dans les trente (30) jours suivant la publication du présent avis. Dans la déclaration d’opposition écrite, vous devez préciser la nature de votre intérêt dans le tracé détaillé proposé et les motifs de votre opposition au tracé en question. À la lumière des processus relatifs au tracé détaillé qui ont été suivis pour le projet d’expansion de Trans Mountain en 2017 et en 2018, l’Office n’acceptera que les déclarations d’opposition qui soulèvent des préoccupations relativement à des changements importants dans les circonstances par rapport au tracé détaillé original. Une copie de toute déclaration écrite s’opposant à ce tracé détaillé doit être envoyée aux adresses suivantes : Office national de l’énergie 517, 10e Avenue S.-O., bureau 210 Calgary (Alberta) T2R 0A8 À l’attention de : Sheri Young, secrétaire de l’Office Téléphone : 403-292-4800 Télécopieur sans frais : 1-877-288-8803 Courriel : TMX.Aide@neb-one.gc.ca Site web : www.neb-one.gc.ca et : Projet d’expansion de Trans Mountain 300, 5e Avenue S.-O., bureau 2700 Calgary (Alberta) T2P 5J2, À l’attention de : Alain Parisé, directeur, Terrains Télécopieur : 403-514-6401 Courriel : TMEP_Land@transmountain.com

• Si une déclaration d’opposition écrite est déposée auprès de l’Office dans les trente (30) jours suivant la publication de cet avis, et que cette déclaration concerne une décision précédente relativement au tracé, et qu’elle soulève des préoccupations au sujet d’un changement important dans les circonstances par rapport au processus du tracé détaillé original, l’Office procédera à un examen du précédent tracé détaillé avant de prendre une décision.

• En ce qui concerne les audiences sur le tracé détaillé qui étaient en cours le 30 août 2018 et pour lesquelles aucune décision n’a été rendue, les propriétaires fonciers et les communautés autochtones doivent continuer à manifester leur opposition en déposant une déclaration d’opposition dans les trente (30) jours suivant la publication du présent avis. L’Office continuera à tenir des audiences et ajoutera de nouvelles étapes au processus, le cas échéant, pour réagir à toute préoccupation valide concernant les changements de circonstances.

• Les propriétaires fonciers et les communautés autochtones qui n’ont pas déposé de déclaration d’opposition à l’occasion du processus précédent relatif au tracé détaillé, dont la déclaration d’opposition a été refusée ou qui ont retiré leur déclaration d’opposition avant une audience sur le tracé détaillé, peuvent déposer une nouvelle déclaration d’opposition dans les trente (30) jours qui suivent la publication du présent avis.

Si la déclaration d’opposition soulève un changement important dans les circonstances, l’Office tiendra une audience afin d’étudier ces préoccupations par rapport à toutes les sections ou parties de l’oléoduc concernées par les préoccupations soulevées dans la déclaration d’opposition écrite.

L’Office n’est pas tenu de donner d’avis, ni de tenir d’audience, ni d’entreprendre de démarches à l’égard de toute déclaration d’opposition écrite déposée auprès de l’Office et se réserve le droit, à tout moment, de rejeter ladite déclaration écrite si la personne ayant déposé la déclaration dépose un avis de retrait ou si l’Office juge la déclaration

frivole, vexatoire ou faite de mauvaise foi. Si l’Office estime qu’il convient de tenir une audience publique, il fixera une date et un lieu convenables pour l’audience et publiera par la suite un avis d’audience dans au moins un numéro d’une publication à grand tirage dans la région où se trouvent les terrains acquis ou que l’on se propose d’acquérir. L’Office fera également parvenir un avis d’audience publique à chacune des personnes qui aura déposé une déclaration d’opposition écrite auprès de l’Office. L’audience publique se tiendra dans la région dans laquelle sont situés les terrains auxquels se rapporte la déclaration.

L’Office, ou une personne autorisée par l’Office, se réserve le droit d’effectuer une inspection, comme l’Office le juge nécessaire, des terrains acquis ou que l’on se propose d’acquérir ou encore touchés par la construction du Projet d’expansion de Trans Mountain.

Si l’Office juge qu’une audience publique est requise, l’Office permettra à chacune des personnes qui auront déposé une déclaration d’opposition écrite conforme aux exigences de présenter des observations; l’Office se réserve par ailleurs le droit de permettre à toute autre personne intéressée de présenter des observations devant lui, comme l’Office le juge indiqué. L’Office tiendra compte de l’ensemble des déclarations d’opposition écrites et des observations présentées au cours de l’audience publique afin de déterminer, d’une part, le meilleur tracé possible pour l’oléoduc et, d’autre part, les méthodes et le calendrier les plus propices à la construction du Projet d’expansion de Trans Mountain. L’Office peut assortir toute approbation des conditions qu’il juge indiquées. L’Office transmettra, motifs à l’appui, une copie de toute décision d’approbation ou de refus d’approbation des plan, profil et livre de renvoi relatifs à une section ou partie du Projet d’expansion de Trans Mountain rendue après l’audience publique au ministre et à chacune des personnes qui lui aura présenté des observations.

L’Office peut fixer à la somme qu’il juge raisonnable les frais entraînés par la présentation d’observations au cours d’une pareille audience publique; ce montant sera versé sans délai à la personne par Trans Mountain.

On peut se procurer des copies des plan, profil et livre de renvoi relatifs au tracé détaillé du Projet d’expansion de Trans Mountain en composant le 1-866-514-6700 ou en envoyant un courriel à l’adresse info@transmountain.com.

FINALS RODEO

Locals among best in Canada Cole Wagner THE MERRITT HERALD

They may not have their high school diplomas yet, but make no mistake — these rodeo athletes know how to compete.

The finest young cowboys and cowgirls from across Western Canada flocked to Merritt from July 27 to 29 for the Canadian High School Finals Rodeo.

Five local athletes were among the competitors vying for the title of Canadian champion across a wide variety of rodeo events, from barrel racing to team roping.

Only the top 10 athletes from Friday and Saturday had the chance to ride for a Canadian title on Sunday.

The Merritt team —

perhaps fuelled by the hometown crowd — had an impressive run throughout the weekend, with four of five athletes competing on championship Sunday.

Jalen McRae finished second overall in junior boys goat tying, as the reserve champion in the event.

Meanwhile, Maya Starrs rode her horse Loki to a second-overall finish in junior barrel racing. Starrs’ blazing fast times put her second only to Alberta’s Aubrey Ross.

Bryce Garcia and Tryton Bose — Merritt’s only senior athletes at the Finals — finished seventh overall in team roping.

River Anderson gave it her all in junior girls goat tying, but ultimately did not qualify for the short go round on Sunday.

CITY CHAMPIONS The City Furniture team was crowned ‘A’ division champions for the third year in a row, following the wrapup tournament for the Merritt slo-pitch league. The team emerged victorious after a hard-fought battle with the Bandits in the final.

The City Furniture team also won another local slo-pitch tournament held on July 27 and 28. Photo contributed

BREAKOUT MEET Delbert Black rose out of the water during the 100-metre breaststroke event at the Salmon Arm Sockeyes swim meet on July 27 and 28. Black, a member of the Merritt Otters, finished first in the event, helping him to secure the overall aggregate among division five boys. Black also finished first in 100-metre backstroke, and second in 50-metre butterfly, freestyle and 200-metre individual medley.

WEBSTER LANDS ON THE PODIUM For the second straight year, former Merritt resident Robyn Webster (right) has won the bronze medal in the senior women’s pole vault at the Canadian Track and Field Championships. The 2019 Nationals and World Championship Trials were held this past weekend in Montreal. Webster, a graduate of Merritt Secondary School in 2006, jumped a lifetime best of 4.06 metres to finish third behind winner and current Canadian record-holder Alysha Newman and second-place Kelsie Ahbe, both from Ontario. Competing for the Edmonton International Track Club, Webster had first-attempt clearances at 3.71m, 3.86m, 3.96m and 4.06m before going out with three misses at 4.16 metres. Newman, who has a new national record pending at 4.77m, won the Canadian championships with a jump of 4.56 metres. Newman will represent Canada at this year’s World Track and Field Championships, slated for the city of Doha in Qatar from Sept. 28 to Oct. 6. Photo contributed

COMMUNITY VINTAGE VEHICLES

Show ‘n Shine still going strong at 25 Dara Hill THE MERRITT HERALD

A scramble to find enough registration forms for all the car owners hoping to show off their vehicles in the Nicola Valley was the only speed bump faced by organizers of Merritt’s 25th annual antique car show.

It was an event not to be missed, as over 150 classic hot rods, customs and muscle cars took over the town on July 28 for the Nicola Valley Cruisers 25th annual Show ‘n Shine.

“Our goal this year was to have a bigger show to celebrate our 25th and it definitely happened,” said Susan Roline, president of Nicola Valley Cruisers.

“Nothing went wrong — everything was perfect.”

Car owners brought their shining stars from across B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, and even California, as returning favourites were joined by vehicles new to town this year.

“There were definitely a lot of new cars we hadn’t seen before in Merritt, so that always provides additional interest to the spectators — they aren’t just coming out and seeing the same old, same old,” said Roline.

Del Basaraba from Kamloops took home two top finishers following the event, as his 1932 Ford 18 pickup was awarded best vintage and his 1932 Ford B pickup earned the mayor’s choice award.

Sharon Boyes

Sharon Sue (Counts) Boyes died peacefully in Merritt on July 29, 2019 at the age of 76. She was born on January 12, 1943, at Chico Springs Hospital in beautiful Paradise Valley, Montana to Kester and Blanche Counts and grew up on her father’s homestead, the Snowy Range Ranch. She met the love of her life, Merle Boyes, while both were working in a Vancouver office.

They married on September 22, 1963, in Vancouver, British Columbia. Together they raised four children and were deeply involved with their church fellowship. In 2000, they retired to Merritt to make a new home in a drier climate. Sharon will be remembered for her kind heart, her fondness for dominoes, and her abundant hospitality toward her many friends and family members. Her pastor once said that a meal at Sharon’s place could be one of the highlights of your life.

She is survived by her two sisters (Barbara Prather and Jean Cole), her four children (Virginia Will, Jeannette Orr, David Boyes, and Nathan Boyes), and her six grandchildren (Jessica Darling, Danielle Goveia, Aaron Boyes, Matthew Orr, Kaitlynn Boyes, and Austin Boyes). In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Epilepsy Canada (https://www.epilepsy.ca/).

MERRITT & DISTRICT HOSPICE SOCIETY Children grieve too. Remember, like adults, each child reacts differently to loss. Sharing your grief with your child is one way to help them learn about grief.
