Water use restricted on Coldwater David Dyck THE MERRITT HERALD
Responding to a continuing level 4 drought, the province has placed a temporary water use restriction on the Coldwater River and its tributaries. The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations said the measures are being put in place to protect coho, chinook and steelhead salmon populations, which are threatened by low stream flows. The restrictions went into place Friday at midnight. Water from the river may only be diverted from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. This will continue for a week and a half, until
Aug. 11, when the restriction will escalate. At that time, no water whatsoever may be diverted from the river, until Sept. 30. “These measures strike a balance between providing water during a critical time for agricultural producers, while still taking the action necessary to protect fish populations,” the ministry stated in a press release. There are 50 water licenses affected by this restriction. The Nicola Valley has been suffering from a Level 4 “extremely dry” drought since July 21. On July 22, all angling was suspended on the Coldwater River, as well as the Nicola and Spius rivers.

The City of Merritt has named public works manager Shawn Boven as its interim chief administrative officer effective Monday, August 10. Current CAO Allan Chabot will be leaving for the same job in Revelstoke, and his last day at the City of Merritt is Friday, August 7. The CAO position oversees the management and operations of city staff, ensures policies, programs and other directions of council are implemented and advises council on city affairs. Merritt Mayor Neil Menard said council appointed Boven because he’s been an interim CAO in the past. City council is still leaning toward hiring a corporate officer to work under the CAO, but council wants to have the CAO position filled first. Once it is, council will consult with their new CAO before deciding whether or not to hire a corporate officer. Deciding what to do about the vacant economic development manager position is a decision council will make once they hire and consult their permanent CAO as well, Menard said. Menard has told the Herald he wants to recruit a permanent CAO by the end of the year and is working with the municipal recruit-

ing firm Ravenhill Group to find Chabot’s permanent replacement. “We definitely want the new CAO’s input,” Menard said. “I’m hoping that the person we hire will be able give us some very positive guidance on what we should do,” he said. Boven said he’s honoured to be able to assist council in this time of transition. “I’m just excited for the opportunity and to work with council and staff in a greater capacity than I have been,” Boven told the Herald. Boven served as an interim CAO back in 2013 when the position was last vacated, sharing the duties of the role with leisure services manager Larry Plotnikoff. That, however, won’t be the case this time around as Boven will be responsible for all the duties that come with the CAO job in addition to his role as public works manager.

WILDFIRE STARTED FROM BURNING CAR STEPPING UP Members of Merritt’s Smart Step youth program were out in force on Monday, July 27, participating in the organization’s annual Graffiti Clean-up Day. The young volunteers, ages 10 and up, visited close to 20 locations around town, where they removed or painted over graffiti that had been painted on the walls of buildings and dumpsters.

Food bank seeking excess fruits and veggies from locals Michael Potestio THE MERRITT HERALD
In gardens around town, tomatoes, lettuce and beans are getting ready to be picked. Those are exactly the types of donations the Merritt food bank is looking for. As opposed to donating the stereotypical can of cranberry sauce to the food bank, this summer Merritt residents can reserve a row of vegetables in their gardens. Collecting food from gardens and fruit trees is a relatively new practice at the food bank, with manager Marlene Fenton actively promoting the practice in the three years she’s been with the organization. She said that in the past, the food bank didn’t collect as many perishable food items nor did they promote doing so as much as they do now. Also, messaging from food banks in the past has always been to donate non-perishable items as opposed to locally grown fruits and vegetables, Fenton told the Herald. “That’s just what we’ve said for years and years,” she said. The Merritt food bank these days, however, receives hundreds of pounds of perishable items every week during the summer months. Drop offs are the typical way of obtaining the items, Fenton said.

The number of perishable donations to the food bank this year has been less than previous summers, Fenton said, but she attributes that to this year’s hot, dry weather. She said food bank volunteers have tried going door-to-door to pick the fruits and vegetables themselves, but that has been less effective than having people deliver the items. Man power is an issue, as many of the food bank’s volunteers are elderly or have disabilities, she said.
“You’re not going to ask my mom, who’s 71, to climb a ladder and pick an apricot,” Fenton said. Donating excess food from the garden or fruit trees has a variety of benefits. In addition to helping maintain food supplies at the food bank during the summer — a typically slow period for donations at food banks everywhere — it’s also an avenue for people to get rid of excess food and keep fruit trees picked so as not to attract bears, which is a common concern for the conservation office. Perishable food items like fruits and vegetables are important to the food bank because when it comes to feeding a hungry family with growing children, eating something fresh and grown locally beats eating something out of a can. “There’s no additives in this, there’s no extra salts, there’s no extra sugars, there’s no extra hidden things,” Fenton said. While it’s more work to utilize perishable food than the non-perishable kind, Fenton said she’d feel terrible not taking advantage of the locally grown, natural food this area has to offer. “If you’d like to donate to the food bank, but you don’t necessarily have a big surplus of money yourself, if you have extra [food] in your garden that’s a great way for you to do it,” Fenton said. Merritt’s food bank is located at 2026 Quilchena Avenue and is open Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

A stolen car set on fire in the hills behind Collettville was responsible for Monday’s wildfire visible from downtown Merritt. British Columbia Forest Service spokesperson Jennifer Crawford confirmed yesterday the 110-hectare fire, which at one point was heading straight towards Merritt, was caused by a deliberately set vehicle fire. Merritt RCMP reported yesterday afternoon a vehicle was stolen from a residence in the 2500-block of Priest Avenue sometime between 10 p.m. Sunday and 7:30 a.m. Monday, when it was discovered on fire on the Lily Lake Road. While forest firefighters are not trained in responding to vehicle or structural fires, they will respond when the forest adjacent to a vehicle catches fire. “Wind was a huge factor in the start of the fire and how it played out,” said Crawford.

2014 annual report presented The following is an excerpt from the City of Merritt regular council meeting agenda for July 28, 2015 Message from Mayor Neil Menard On behalf of city council and staff, I present the 2014 annual report. This report is our opportunity to provide the citizens of Merritt with an overview of the activities of our various municipal departments and a presentation of the financial performance of the city. The city achieved a number of goals during the course of 2014, with many capital projects either completed or well under way. In November, we had the general municipal election that saw three new members of council being elected and myself moving

from the councillor chair to the mayor’s chair. Our new council is a very enthusiastic group, eager to provide the citizens with strong leadership as we continue to make Merritt one of the best communities in British Columbia. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the hard work of the retiring members of the previous council. Our new council will be focusing on improving our economy in order to strengthen our community. We look forward to an exciting year. Message from the chief administrative officer Allan Chabot I am pleased to provide this introduction to the City of Merritt’s 2014 annual report. The requirement to prepare
and present an annual report comes from the Community Charter. The Charter recognizes municipalities as an order of government within thier respective jurisdictions that are autonomous, responsible and accountable and determined and sustained by the collective will of the residents of their communities. In this report you will find an overview of municipal services and operations for the previous year, current and next year. This report also incorporates the audited financial statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2014 and other financial information that will allow the reader to gain a better understanding of the city’s financial position and operation.

HELP KEEP MERRITT’S BOULEVARDS AND LANES CLEAN As spring wanes and summer arrives many of us are aware of the unusual amount of precipitation that has fallen on our City. With this rain and warmer weather comes plant growth and it does not require a lot of searching to find out-of-control grass and weeds in empty lots, alleys and boulevards. We all want Merritt and the neighborhoods we call home to look the best that they can be. A frequent question to the City bylaw department is “Who is responsible for maintenance of boulevards and lanes?” The short answer is the adjacent property owner. Just as with winter snow, the adjacent property owner is responsible for shoveling the sidewalk in front of their home, so during the rest of the year the adjacent property owner is responsible for keeping the boulevard and lane abutting their property in a neat and tidy condition. As a property owner you are responsible for the vegetative growth outside your property lines to the curb and if there is an alley you are responsible to the centre of that alley that abuts your property. We may all even want to consider some of our neighbours who for very good reasons may not be as able. With this in mind Merritt’s Nuisance Abatement Bylaw provides for minimum property standards within City limits. This Bylaw allows the City to regulate and in some cases hire outside contractors to complete any work that is not done by the property owners. Unless we all do our individual part to maintain our neighbourhoods it could simply not be done. One of the pleasures of living in a smaller community like ours is that the little extra that we contribute can translate to a huge difference that will positively reflect on the City of Merritt as somewhere great to live.

Downtown intersection Grant for retraffic lights to be torn down roofing approved City plans to replace the perpetually blinking red lights with a four-way stop
Half the cost of aquatic centre roof will be provided by federal grant
Michael Potestio THE MERRITT HERALD
Michael Potestio THE MERRITT HERALD
The malfunctioning traffic lights at the Quilchena Avenue and Garcia Street intersection will replaced with four-way stop signs. By a 4-2 vote, after last Tuesday’s regular meeting, city council approved the public works department’s suggestion to decommission the traffic lights in favour of stop signs. The traffic lights at the intersection have been flashing red for months. When not working properly, the lights flash red in a default mode signaling to treat the intersection as a fourway stop. In a report to council from public works manager Shawn Boven, he states that his department has experienced difficulty and escalating costs in trying to keep the traffic lights in working order. Two independent signalization companies have tried to repair the lights, but have advised the city that is no longer possible, the report stated. It would cost approximately $125,000 to replace the traffic lights with new ones, the council report stated. Coun. Ginny Prowal suggested leaving the flashing red lights as a four way stop until they burn out, an idea supported by Coun. Dave Baker. Coun. Kurt Christopherson, however, said he liked the idea of putting in the stop signs to provide consistency between The Quilchena Avenue intersection with Garcia Street and the Coutlee Avenue one a block away. Financial services manager Ken Ostraat said there is a mainte-
The City of Merritt has received a $110,000 grant from the federal government to help fix the roof of the aquatic centre, which is at the end of its life cycle. Okanagan—Coquihalla MP Dan Albas was at city council’s regular meeting last Tuesday to announce the federal government would be chipping in half of the $220,000 it will cost to replace the roof. The grant comes on behalf of the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program.
“As we near 2017, that’s our sesquicentennial —[Canada’s] 150th birthday — the government wants to make sure that both cultural and civic infrastructure is updated so that we can all be proud of this great country that we call home,” Albas told council. He said it was identified that supporting Merritt’s bid for this project would protect local rate payers from the burden of funding the project. Additionally, the facility has been well-used over the years and a new roof will allow it to continue to be well-used for the next 20 years, he said.

HERALD OPINION MP Report
When a writ is ‘dropped’ Even in the heat of summer the Ottawa rumour mill is still continuing to churn DAN ALBAS out reports View from the on events HILL that may or may not be occurring in our nation’s capital. The latest media speculation circulating is that the writ for our upcoming federal election may be dropped as early as this Sunday (Aug. 2). For the record, I have no idea if this is accurate or not, however this does present a good opportunity to explain what the writ dropping means to citizens in Okanagan-Coquihalla and elsewhere. A writ is “dropped” when the Prime Minister presents the Governor General with an instrument of advice recommending the House of Commons be dissolved. In turn, the Governor General then issues a proclamation dissolving what in this case will be the 41st Parliament. The Prime Minister will then present an order in council to the chief electoral officer requesting the writ of an election that is also issued from the Governor General. At this point, the chief electoral officer will then send a writ of election notice to each returning officer across Canada. From this point on the writ period has begun and by Canadian law must be a minimum campaign length of 36 days. There is technically no maximum length for a writ period although the House of Commons, much like a provincial legislature, is required to sit at least once every 12 months. What is different about a writ period?

Instead of talking about these animals in a classroom setting, the children were bussed to Kentucky-Alleyne Provincial Park to have a first-hand experience with Western Toads and to see the conservation program there, run by the Nicola

To reduce the mortality rate, BC Parks installed a culvert and the Nicola Naturalist Society built a low wooden fence to guide the tiny toadlets safely to the culvert. Many thousands of toadlets are now saved each summer. At the park, the Nicola

Expat voting rules are not new From Page 6 There are a number of rules that apply within a writ period that do not apply outside of a writ period, including full disclosure and limits on how much political parties and third party advertisers can spend within the writ period. In addition, any staff working on a campaign must be disclosed, as must in kind donations at fair market value. These strict rules are in addition to existing rules regarding members of Parliament constituency offices which prohibit their use for partisan purposes in any way, a restriction that also applies to all House of Commons taxpayer provided resources. Locally, Okanagan-Coquihalla will also cease to be an electoral district as a result of new federal boundary redistribution process that occurs every ten years. In our case, there have been some significant changes to Okanagan-Coquihalla. The new riding most closely resembling the
old riding is now called Central OkanaganSimilkameen-Nicola. Communities such as Summerland, Peachland, West Kelowna, Merritt, and Logan Lake remain in this riding; however Penticton will now join a new riding called South Okanagan-West Kootenay. Making up for the loss of the Penticton population in Central Okanagan-Similkameen-Nicola results in adding communities such as Princeton, Keremeos and surrounding areas, as well as part of the city of Kelowna.

Two hog fuel fires in one day last week
MFRD responded to one of last Thursday’s hog fuel fires at Tolko. Michael Potestio/Herald Michael Potestio THE MERRITT HERALD
Two fires in wood waste piles — also known as hog fuel — sparked in Merritt last Thursday. At about 10:00 p.m. that night, the Lower Nicola Fire Department, Merritt Fire Rescue Department and the BC Wildfire Service responded to burning piles of wood waste at a hog fuel processing plant on Mamit Lake Road. Between the three fire departments, more than 20 firefighters battled the blaze. As of Friday morning, the fire was still smoldering, but it was about 85 per cent extinguished, Lower Nicola Fire
Chief Lindsay Tighe said. The rest of the fire was expected to be out by noon that day. The fire was still under investigation on Friday, but Tighe said he suspects a mechanical problem with one of the machines on site to be the cause. Earlier in the day on Thursday afternoon, the Merritt Fire Rescue Department (MFRD) extinguished a burning pile of hog fuel burning in the Tolko mill yard. MFRD responded with eleven firefighters and two fire engines. Upon their arrival Tolko staff were already dousing the fire with water hoses and MFRD assisted in knocking out
the fire. There were flames coming from the pile when the fire department arrived, Fire Chief Dave Tomkinson said. A front-end loader was used to break the pile apart to ensure the flames were extinguished. The cause of this fire was deemed to be spontaneous combustion. Tomkinson said the fire was contained to the surface of the sawdust pile. The wood waste, combined with the heat from the sun makes spontaneous combustion a possibility. The temperature that afternoon in Merritt was about 32C.

In his semi-final match-up, Derek, a rookie on the CMDRA circuit, had a near-perfect 0.019-second reaction time off the start line, but unfortunately ‘broke out’ — finishing 0.009 of a second under his dialed-in time. (Lower right) Derek executes a burnout on his Kawasaki KZ1100 prior to the start of one of his races in Edmonton. In the national standings for Super Bike, Dale is currently sitting in third place, with Derek right behind in fourth. Both riders, who have formed a team called Phoenix Racing, plan to attend the next set of races on the CMDRA schedule — August 22 and 23 at the Eagle Motorplex in Ashcroft. They’ll be joined there by another MSS graduate, Matt Mackay-Smith, who presently leads the bike division at the Eagleplex. Photos courtesy of Steve Rose and CMDRA

With great sadness the family of Kay Suttie announces her sudden passing in Kamloops on Wednesday July 15. Born in Brocklehurst to John and Mary Desmond, Kay and her younger brothers Humphrey and Tom grew up on the family farm on Tranquille Road. She attended St Ann’s Academy, graduating in their Commercial Program in 1942, and worked in several offices including BC Tel, where she made many lasting friends. Always musical, she achieved an Associates in piano through the London Conservatory of Music and played organ for many church functions over the years. In 1952 she married Charles Suttie in Kamloops. The family moved to Merritt in 1957, but Kay’s ties with family and friends in Kamloops always prevailed. The family enjoyed annual camping holidays throughout western Canada and the northern US states. Retiring to Sorrento in 1982, Charlie and Kay travelled extensively in Europe, the US and Canada. Kay continued to travel with friends & family after her husband’s death. She was active in the church choir and WI in Sorrento and was well-known amongst family and friends for her baking and for her love of a game of cards. She encouraged her children and grandchildren to explore music, memories they cherish. Kay will always be remembered for her pleasant and polite ways. Predeceased by Charlie in 1990 and her youngest son Dick in 2011, she is survived by John & Judy Suttie of Kelowna and daughter Anne; Mary & Gord Lester of Kamloops and children Mairi, Christine and Colin; Kathleen & Tom Hilborn of Nanaimo and daughters Andrea and Meghan; Heather Suttie of Knutsford and sons Jason and Warren Land. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 1:00 p.m. August 6, 2015 at Sacred Heart Cathedral in Kamloops, followed by interment at Hillside Cemetery and a reception. Memorial donations in Kay’s name may be made to the Kamloops Hospice Association.
