Sicamous coun-cil has opted against a bylaw to prohibit a proliferation of liquor vendors downtown.
Last Monday, coun-cil discussed a letter from Brothers Pub and Liquor Store owner Richard Chmilar in which he expresses his concerns around the B.C. governments recent overhaul of the provinces liquor laws in particular, the de-cision to allow wine sales from grocery stores.
Chmilar explains an analysis by the Al-liance of Beverage Li-censees (of which he is a member), shows where wine is allowed to be sold in grocery stores, those sales rep-resent 65 to 79 per cent of all wine sold in that jurisdiction. As a re-sult, he says small dis-tributors are squeezed out of the market.
With the passing in B.C. of Bill 22 Spe-cial Wine Store Li-cence Auction Act, the province is now able to auction a limited num-ber of licences for the sale of B.C. wine in
grocery stores. These licences are
not subject to the one-kilometre distance rule, meaning Sicamous could have a shopping mall with a private li-quor store right next door to a grocery store with a large selection of wine, says Chmilar. A high density of al-cohol retailers can pose serious social conse-quences and will pres-ent significant concerns for the future of B.C.s private retailers.
Chmilar notes the City of Kamloops re-cently approved a by-law to institute a one-
kilometre distance rule for all future liquor licences and stores, including licences gro-cery stores. He encour-aged Sicamous council to do the same.
Coun. Jeff Mallmes was agreeable to this, stating there are al-ready three liquor stores in close vicinity downtown.
The last thing we need is one in the mall over there, one in the grocery store. I think we have enough, said Mallmes.
Coun. Colleen An-derson asked that an exception be made for
wine, noting it would be convenient for gro-cery stores to carry wine in a tourist town. Mallmes motion, how-ever, involved estab-lishing a one-kilometre distance for vendors of beer, wine and spirits, arguing wine will just be the door that opens and then sooner or later the other ones will fol-low.
Only Coun. Janna Simons and Mallmes supported the motion, defeated by Couns. An-derson, Todd Kyllo and deputy mayor Malcolm Makayev. (Mayor Ter-ry Rysz was absent.)

RCMP REPORT

Witnesses offer different stories on injuryDiffering witness
statements are compli-cating a police investi-gation into an incident that sent one man to hospital with serious injuries.
Sicamous RCMP say the local man was injured sometime be-fore 3 a.m. on Sunday, June 21, after he was
run over by a pickup truck.
The end result is he did sustain some seri-ous injuries to his leg, his pelvis, his spleen. The extent of the inju-rieswere fairly seri-ous, said Const. Pat Pyper.
Its the details of what happened prior
that are murky. There was a group
walking down the front-age road, said Pyper. Its unclear, but one of the people in this group that was walking appar-ently and depending who you talk to ran out onto the road and was hit by this truck and run over. Some
other people in a dif-ferent group stated this person ran out onto the road, jumped up onto the truck, tried to get in, fell, and was run over by the truck.
Pyper noted alcohol was involved on the pe-destrians part, but not the person in the truck.
Police continue to
investigate the matter. Were going to talk to the people who were involved in it and were going to ascertain what happened the best that we can, said Pyper, adding its very unlikely there will be any charg-es. Well sift through it and decide what were going to do with it.

Jamie Sherlock has a pretty busy summer in the works for Sicamous youth.
The newly hired district recreation pro-grammer began work on June 16, and is off and running with a cou-ple of programs in the works. These include summer day camps for youth and swimming lessons.
The day camps will be targeted at two dif-ferent age groups. There will be a kids club for ages six to nine, and a pre-teen club for ages 10 to 14. The two clubs will be based out of the Sicamous curl-ing rink and will rotate days of operation, with the kids club being held Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and the pre-teen Tuesdays and Thursdays one week, and then vice-versa the following week. Hours will be from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Sherlock says there will be a different theme
for the clubs each week. So we have things
like getting to know your community, a cou-ple of sports weeks, we have science week, an arts week, a cooking week, we have try-out week and we have an everything can happen week, said Sherlock. Each week has differ-ent activities and differ-ent things the kids will be participating in.
Field trips are also in the works, from vis-its with the local police station, fire hall and am-bulance station (as part of getting to know your community), to a trip to the Enchanted Forrest and SkyTrek Adven-ture Park. Sherlock also hopes to work with lo-cal groups and athletes who might be willing to share their knowledge and skill with the kids. And, when possible, the skills picked up one day may be parlayed into a different training oppor-tunity the next. By do-ing this, Sherlock hopes to expose kids to things thy might not otherwise try themselves.
There might be a Rachel Ray in there, there might be another hockey star in there, there might be a famous painter or poet or some-thing like that, says Sherlock. Im hoping with these camps, there will be things to pique their interest some-thing they wouldnt normally try.
Sherlock says one of her focuses is get-ting the kids interacting with seniors, with out-ings in mind that will get the generations in-termingling.
Registration for swim lessons is ex-pected to take place Monday, July 6 at the district hall. Sherlock says she has someone selected to provide in-struction and hopes to have that person avail-able during the regis-tration date to talk to people and help them choose what levels to enrol in. The intent is to run swim lessons all summer, with each lev-el spanning a two-week period. Sherlock noted lessons will be set up
so people wont have to take them in consecu-tive two-week periods.
Looking beyond the summer kids clubs and swim lessons, Sherlock says she plans to reach out to the local clubs, youth and seniors to see what interests are out there and work with them to build more pro-grams.
Im just kind of getting my feet wet, but Im open to any sug-gestions so they can contact me here, they can phone me, come see me, pop me an email, whichever they prefer, and Im open to see how we can make things work in the com-munity, she says.
Sherlock can be reached at the district hall at 250-836-2477.
For the record: The story in the June 24 EVN, Mobile park residents optimistic on water request, incorrectly states Marie-Paule Lacasse was rep-resenting residents of Cedar Ridge Mobile Home Park. She was in fact rep-resenting neighbouring property owners who utilize the mobile parks water system. We apologize for the error and any inconvenience it may have caused.

tion to a maximum of four years.

VICTORIA The man behind HarperPAC says it lived and died in a few days to make a point about third-party advertising in Canadian politics.
HarperPAC ran one ra-dio ad, accusing Liberal leader Justin Trudeau of blaming voters for his de-clining popularity, and suggesting that Trudeaus months of mistakes are a likelier cause. No kidding.
HarperPAC spokes-man Stephen Taylor, who like Stephen Harper before him has worked for the Na-tional Citizens Coalition, announced the end of the project last week.
We have contributed to a new discussion about po-litical financing in a fixed election era that is critical to our democracy, Tay-lor said. We note that this discussion only occurred once a right-wing analog of the lefts PAC-style efforts emerged on the scene.
Indeed, it was when HarperPAC emerged that muttering began about dark money in Canadian politics. Unifor, Anti-Con-servative front LeadNow and the many faces of the Tides Foundation some-how failed to ignite much discussion in the Canadian media.
Taylor launched the bid in response to the emer-gence of Engage Canada, a union-financed action committee that he said was part of a broader effort by the left to oust the Conser-vatives. Engage Canada portrays itself as a brave al-ternative to shadowy right-wing groups such as Work-ing Canadians, which has also run pro-Conservative ads.
Engage Canadas lat-est ad plays on the union movements cherished inequality theme, select-ing statistics to portray the wealthy as making out far better than the rest of us in Harpers Canada.
Two recent develop-
ments have led to all this. Scheduled elections every four years have finally tak-en effect at the federal level, after a series of minority governments. And courts have repeatedly struck down efforts to restrict third-party spending in the so-called pre-campaign period as an unwarranted restriction on free speech.
The B.C. Liberal govern-ment tried and failed sev-eral times to restrict third-party spending, largely in response to the million-dollar tirades of the teach-ers union. Former attorney general Wally Oppal used to warn about American-style influence by wealthy interest groups targeting scheduled elections.
Their strategy was not so much to keep corporate money out of B.C. politics as to keep it flowing through the B.C. Liberal Party.
This spring, the B.C. Liberal majority passed Bill 20, the Election Amend-ment Act. Not only did this recognize the freedom of
outsiders to weigh in on elections, it also did away with pre-campaign restric-tions on registered political parties and candidates.
NDP MLA Leonard Krog warned that this sets the stage for some mad Wild West show, with poli-ticians so desperate to raise money they start looking for the B.C. equivalent of renting out the Lincoln bed-room in the White House.
The big difference be-tween the pre-campaign ads for this falls federal election and the next pro-vincial vote in 2017 is that corporate and union dona-tions to parties and candi-dates have been eliminated at the federal level. That means more money avail-able for third-party cam-paigns, but it seems to be fairly well distributed be-tween the two sides, the Conservatives and every-body else.
Here in the Wild West, nothings going to change as long as the B.C. Liberals are in the saddle.

Positive approach to pot distribution
OPINION
Regardless of where one stands on the marijuana-legalization debate, it is simply irrefutable that the City of Vancouvers decision to regulate its burgeon-ing medical-marijuana dispensary business is positive.
There are about 100 storefront marijuana dispensaries operating in Vancouver and they exist because the police in that city have taken a stance to concentrate on real crime, rather than spend precious time seeking to shut down the stores.
By seeking to regulate the stores not the product sold the City of Vancouver wants to ensure regulation is strict and that locations are away from schools, community centres and other marijuana dispensaries.
With a permit fee of $30,000, Vancouver is ensuring it is more difficult, not easier, for such businesses to operate in the city.
Compare the citys rational response to the fact marijuana is on its way to being de-criminalized or legalized to the sad histrionic viewpoint of federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose, whose ridiculous warnings would be more at home in a Reefer Madness script.
Like her Conservative peers. Ambrose sticks to the failed war-on-pot stance that has done nothing but make gangsters rich and give regu-lar people criminal records.
Ambrose opposed Vancouvers plan to regu-late its medical-marijuana dispensary business, noting marijuana is illegal and claiming such regulation will increase pot use and addiction.
Of course, Ambrose is wrong.Regulation and the stiff permit fee that will
accompany it will likely result in fewer medi-cal marijuana dispensaries in Vancouver, so Ambroses fear of skyrocketing addiction rates will probably not come to fruition.
Speaking of addiction, has Ambrose perused the latest statistics on death and damage that results from legal alcohol?

Leaving Monashee Chiropractic will be an adjustment for Dr. Cam-eron Grant.
After serving Si-camous for 13 years, Grant says hes sold his Parkland Mall clinic.
Six years ago, Grant and wife Oryana took over the Aberdeen Well-ness Clinic in Vernon. The following year, they moved to Vernon. But Cameron said he did not want to leave his Sicamous patients with nothing.
I had a lot of my patients ask me if I was just going to close it, said Cameron. They kind of said, why are you even keeping it open? One of the rea-sons I kept it open is a lot of my patients in Sicamous cant travel. And if I closed it, there would be nothing for them. So I didnt want to do that, so I kind of just hung on until I could find someone to take over. I never con-sidered closing it.
Taking over from Cameron is Dr. Claude Weichel.
I used to work with him in Alberta when I first graduated, said Cameron. Hell be good. Lots of experi-
ence. He has a very sim-ilar treatment style to what I do. Its going to be a smooth transition.
Grant is hopeful Weichel will have the clinic open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri-days.
Sicamous residents will have an opportu-nity to meet Weichel at an open house on Saturday, July 11, from 10 a.m to 2 p.m. at the clinic.
Grant says he has mixed feelings about leaving Sicamous, which he says will al-ways feel like his kids home.
A lot of good stuff happened in our lives because of living in Si-camous, said Camer-on. I met a lot of good people there. Yeah, its going to be sad.
Around townThere have been other shifts and adjustments that have occurred on the business front in Sicamous.
Dave and Shirley Gross have been hop-ping busy since moving their restaurant, Grand-mas and Grandpas, into the site of the for-mer Eagle Pass Landing building near the Shell station on Eagle Pass Way.
Meanwhile, Cen-tury 21 is having their grand opening today, July 1, at their new loca-tion at the end of Main Street at the site of the former RoundAbout Cafe.
The gifts end of things has expanded at Happy Corkers Wine & Gifts, under new owner Victoria
Cameron, with sum-mer dresses, hats and assorted giftware. Cam-eron worked at Happy Corkers for three years before taking over the business on May 1. She said she was looking for a new venture and, hav-ing made her own wine for years and years, the business was a good fit. The storefront also pro-vided an opportunity to integrate her gift basket business.
Full Speed Rentals & Marina is also under new ownership. Ber-tram Berzins and Moe Collins are partners in the venture. A B.C. boy living in Alberta, Berz-ins said he, and Collins, were looking for some-thing to bring them back and allow them to get plugged in to the com-munity.
Berzins said their focus is more about the experience, making sure its amazing for ev-eryone. He plans to do some promotional work with seniors groups.
He said the business has undergone a lot of renovations and has been made more acces-sible.
Berzins and Col-lins welcome feedback, keen to hear what ser-vices people would like to see, or of ways things might be done better.

Eagle Valley News Wednesday, July 1, 2015 www.eaglevalleynews.com A7
Its always early when I drop my hubby off at the airport in Kelowna, so I took my usual time getting home so that I could spend time poking around new places and enjoy the Okanagan Valley.
The air was already warm enough for a swim after having my breakfast in Winfield, so I stopped at the empty beach in Oyama and had a dip in the glassy-calm lake. But I wasnt there alone. A man in a small boat and an osprey were fish-ing nearby, ducks were cruising the shorelines, swallows were making quick dives to scoop up a little water to drink and dragonflies were darting about all around me.
After treating myself to some fresh cherries at Gatzkes Farmers Mar-ket, I continued along lovely Kalamalka Lake (which means lake of many colours) and de-cided to snoop out the Sparkling Hill Resort that our friends keep talking about and where Sir Anthony Hopkins stayed while he was making his movie in Enderby. That windy road offered the sing-ing of meadowlarks and scenes of green pastures full of grazing cattle and horses, with a deer in the distance, the occasional farm house, small ponds
full of bull rushes and buzzing insects and a large water reclamation pond for the now very large Predator Ridge Golf Course develop-ment that I had to drive through to get there. After that was another quick stop to see the Al-lan Brooks Nature Cen-tre where gopher, snake and marmot signs were posted along the gravel road, a rest at the river in Enderby and another splash in Mara Lake to cool off again in the af-ternoon heat.
Water is everywhere in the Okanagan and Shuswap valleys, but it should never be taken for granted that these lakes and rivers will al-ways be clean and full today and into the fu-ture.
El Nino and La Nina are both terms referring to large-scale changes in sea-surface tempera-tures across the central and eastern tropical Pacific and created by very complex dynam-ics that are still not fully understood today.
An El Nino event happens when the tropi-cal trade winds die out and ocean tempera-tures become unusually warm and unstable. On the flip side is La Nina, which occurs when the winds blow unusually hard and the sea tem-perature becomes cold-er than normal. They usually last around nine to 12 months, occur ev-ery two to seven years and have been happen-ing for at least 125,000 years.
These events can have major impacts on global weather patterns and marine ecosystems, as well as creating many natural disasters so they can be pretty tough on the planet, critters
and people. This year is an El Nino year, and its possible that it could be the worst one on record, going right into 2016. This means were not only in for a hotter and drier summer particu-larly in the Prairies but also an extreme forest fire season and possible crop losses. This will also make it even worse for California.
Water scarcity has already hit many plac-es in all three western provinces due to low snow packs and little rainfall, but this is only just the beginning of it. The low water levels in our lakes, rivers and un-derground aquifers will not only affect people, but also all the other micro and macro life forms that depend on it just as much as we do.
We will all need to do our best to conserve and properly utilize the water, so we farmers, gardeners and home-owners can do our part by using mulches, wa-tering with the proper amounts and at the right times, making sure our sprinklers are hitting the lawn and not the road and even changing our plants to suit a now-dryer climate. Also keep in mind the fertil-izers and cides we use end up as nutrients in our groundwater and lakes, creating pollution problems and bad algae blooms.
As I took in the ex-pansive views of the Okanagan Lake from the deck of that fancy resort, I saw new hous-ing developments being carved out of the moun-tains in all directions, further increasing the demands on the water supply.
It really struck me then that this precious
resource is not only vital for survival to us and so many other life forms in this beautiful pocket of British Co-lumbia but how much quality it adds to our life with all the wonderful food, flowers and bev-erages we can produce here, the way we can play, the livelihoods it supports and the breath-taking views it offers.
Water waste not, want not as they say.
We need to respect it and protect it to not only continue enjoying this amazing lifestyle we have here, but be-cause so many creatures depend on it just to live.

The Sicamous Ea-gles Junior Hockey Club is seeking billet families for the 2015/16 season.
While the manage-ment and coaching staff is busy putting together a team for the new sea-son (the Eagles main camp runs Aug. 17 to 19 in Sicamous), the club is trying to find homes for the chosen few who make the team.
Club president says 15 beds are needed. And while there are families in Enderby that have billeted in the past, and have been really ap-preciated, theres a de-sire to find more homes
in or closer to town this year.
The new coach (Ty Davidson) wants two practices a day, morn-ing and afternoon, so it would be a lot more convenient if we have more homes in Si-camous, said March.
Billets are expected to provide a bed, pillow, blankets/comforter/ bathroom towels and food. To compensate, billets receive $500 a month from the club through players par-ents.
I did it for 18 years never made any mon-ey but the you dont do this to make money, you do this for the boys, because without billet homes you cant have
a hockey team, said March.
A guide is available for billets, as well as a cookbook to help with the provision of play-ers dietary needs.
Most of them are big eaters some of them come with special food needs and were trying to address that, said March, adding players typically love their salads, pastas, pro-tein and desserts. They know what they need in the way of foods and nutrition and most of the are pretty regiment-ed.
Billets are not re-quired to provide trans-portation. And, if any issues should arise be-tween players and their
billets, March says they will be taken care of im-mediately.
We run a really tight ship: no alcohol, no smoking, no chew and there is a curfew, said March. I believe it is still 11 p.m., and if the kid doesnt abide by the rules they go bye-bye.
From her experi-ence, March says bil-lets are more inclined
to become attached to the players and some-times it can be difficult to lose them. The billet-ing guide speaks to this as well.
Along with the new coach, the club is also developing new proto-cols for internal rela-tions and is looking at ways to get the team more involved in the community.
