There was a celebratory mood as Columbia Shuswap Regional District directors unanimously approved $325,000 from the Sicamous and Area Economic Opportunity Fund for three major projects that are expected to benefit the en-tire Shuswap.

The board first approved $150,000 toward construction of “island landscape design” within the Main Street round-about being built by the Ministry of Transportation and In-frastructure.

Presenting the three proposals to the regional district board on March 17, Sicamous chief administrative officer Evan Parliament explained the district wanted to have con-trol of the island design, which is expected to cost $305,000.

Parliament said the design will include lighted panels and will have different themes depending on seasons, events etc.

“We’re excited about controlling the design,” he said, noting the district is partnering with CSRD, First Nations bands and Shuswap Tourism.

It is hoped the project, to be located at the intersection of Highway 97A and the Trans-Canada Highway, will attract the travelling public to stop in Sicamous.

“It will be money well spent and we’ve had several con-versations with Rhona (Area E director Martin) and she is onboard,” said Mayor Terry Rysz. “We are going to put to-gether a committee, then we’ll come up with a consolidated design.”

While sharing his support for the roundabout, alternate Golden director Ron Oszust had some advice for the dis-trict.

“We have a roundabout and ours was displayed in a cal-endar that features roundabouts of the world,” he said to laughter. “Ensure you have adequate parking in the area be-cause people will stop to take photos.”

Parliament assured him Sicamous council is eyeing the Tru Valu site, which is adjacent to the future roundabout and would have ample parking and would be able to accommo-date RVs as well.

Parliament also expressed excitement about a new mo-bile stage, which is expected to arrive in June.

CSRD directors approved $75,000 toward the purchase of the $154,907 cost of the large mobile stage, which is ex-pected to stimulate the local economy.

The stage has been included in the 2016 financial plan for $220,00, as portable washrooms are also to be purchased.

“The stage will be available for not-for-profits and oth-ers,” said Parliament with enthusiasm. “We already have three bookings – for July 1 and 2 and for the Stomp in Au-

A simple stroll on the beach was confounded for one Sicamous cou-ple by the complication of residen-tial property lots extending into the water.

Sicamous council recently re-ceived a letter from Mary and Don Rowse. In it, the couple note they just became full-time residents of the community, with property on White Pines Crescent.

They go on to explain how they

hoped to have access to the beach between Archibald Street and Po-age Avenue – what they understood to be Crown land – but were put off by private fencing extending along waterfront residences towards the water.

“In our attempt to go for a lei-surely walk along this beach we learned that we could not gain ac-cess from either direction as there is fencing over-extending the property lines and leading a distance into the water,” write the Rowses.

Eaglevalleynews.comMore of what you want Eagle Valley News 250-832-2131District needs variance for rolled curb

The District of Si-camous will be apply-ing to itself for a permit to roll out rolled curb along Shuswap Avenue.

This was the direc-tion decided upon by district council follow-ing a lengthy debate over the legality and benefits of using rolled versus squared curb on Shuswap, as part of the planned infrastructure upgrades in the area.

Coun. Jeff Mallmes began the discussion with the introduction of a staff-designed plan for the reconstruction of Main Street to Martin Street, showing rolled curb. Because this sec-tion of Shuswap is des-ignated in the district’s official community plan as collector route, the curb should be squared, he explained. However, Mallmes said seniors who live along Shuswap, especially those who use scooters or walkers, have diffi-culty with squared curb sidewalk and where it

slopes for driveways.“They said that their

carts are unstable going across that. They actu-ally complained, they said the ones on Main Street that do that are a little tricky with those scooters that they ride,” said Mallmes. “So I’m going to make a recom-mendation that we go with staff’s proposed drawing.”

Coun. Malcolm Makayev responded to Mallmes’ resolution by calling staff’s proposal as being non-compliant with the OCP.

“We can’t pass this resolution without first passing a resolution to change the bylaw dic-tating what is a collec-tor route, because the motion in front of us right now is illegal…,” said Makayev, noting the reason for the raised sidewalk and squared curb is to protect pedes-trians by keeping ve-hicles off the sidewalk.

“Coun. Mallmes says (rolled curb) is cheaper to build and cheaper to maintain,” said Makayev. “Oh

sure, we could do a lot of things that are cheaper to build and cheaper to maintain. It’s just like that Visa commercial, you can’t put a value on safety, safety is priceless, and we’re talking about the most vulnerable people in our community that are going to be exposed to a car…”

With the gauntlet thrown down, other councillors began weighing in. Coun. Todd Kyllo noted there are different curb de-signs throughout the community, and he didn’t see the benefit of going with the more expensive squared curb.

“To me, this isn’t a safety issue at all… I think it’s an issue that we have to decide as a group, do we want rolled curb, or do we want a curb that’s 90 degrees that’s going to get all eaten up and chunked out through the grading of the snow in the winter,” said Kyl-lo.

Coun. Gord Bush-ell also leaned towards

rolled curb, noting the district has been break-ing its rules for the past 15 or 20 years in doing rolled curbs.

“Why is that stop-ping us tonight,” said Bushell. “We can still change the bylaw two weeks or a month from now. As a developer, our bylaws totally need to be revamped, espe-cially the subdivision bylaw. It’s hindering the growth of this com-munity and I think we should move forward.”

Community plan-ner Mike Marrs noted the district is currently going through its OCP review, and from this process there are rec-ommendations to mod-ify some road designa-tions, including that of Shuswap Avenue, which would be down-graded from a collec-tor, “partly because of the narrowness of this right-of-way and hav-ing to reduce the lane-width to incorporate the sidewalks, etc., as well as, primarily, the road is surrounded or runs through residential ar-

eas.”Marrs added rolled

curb, from his perspec-tive, hasn’t proven to be a safety issue, and sug-gested council could al-low its use on Shuswap through a development permit application or by changing the by-law (a longer and more complicated process).

After further discus-sion, Mallmes agreed to rescind his motion, with council favouring the development permit application.

Makayev argued no one on council was qualified to make this decision, and insisted on the involvement of a traffic safety engineer.

Subsequently, coun-cil agree to direct staff to prepare a develop-ment variance permit application for the District of Sicamous to apply to the District of Sicamous, regarding the subdivision servic-ing bylaw on Shuswap Avenue, and include with the application an opinion letter from a qualified traffic safety engineer.

gust.”Rysz said the

$100,000 from the economic opportunity fund towards the to-tal $254,367 cost of a new boat launch at

Old Town Bay will be a great draw for Si-camous.

“This will be uni-versally accessible to everyone,” he stressed.

Added Parliament, “Twin Anchors is build-

ing a massive dock and marina and we will place a covenant on the dock so people can park their boats. The dock and land will per-mit public access.”

The district didn’t

just take from the eco-nomic opportunity fund, they handed back $75,000 for digital sig-nage that had been ap-proved by the board in 2014.

“We’re going in a

different direction,” said Rysz. “At this stage, we don’t require the funding so we’re putting this back.”

Martin told the board she fully support-ed the projects.

Hard work and determination will pay off for Shea Weber in February when he suits up in the red and whites of Team Canada.

The 24-year-old Sicamous product was tagged last month to represent the nation in the 2010 Olympic Games. It’s a goal Weber had been working towards, and an opportu-nity he’s proud to be part of.

“The Olympics are a very special event, not only for hockey but for winter sports and to be able to play for your country and compete for a medal is kind of neat,” says Weber.

The 6’4”, 234 lb. Nashville Predators defenceman will be sporting the maple leaf with other big names in hockey like Scott

Niedermayer (Anaheim Ducks), Roberto Luongo (Vancouver Canucks), Chris Pronger (Philadelphia Flyers) and Sidney Crosby (Pittsburgh Pen-guins).

Apart from a camp held last summer, We-ber guesses the team may have a couple of days to gel in February before hitting the ice in Whistler, and he’s interest-ed in seeing how everyone fi ts. But Weber’s mom and dad, Tracy and James, don’t ex-pect Shea will have any problems.

“Whatever they want him to do, he’ll do it,” said James. “He’s a team-fi rst guy, he’s not a selfi sh player at all.”

Both parents share what could be described as a subdued excite-ment for their son and the hon-our that’s been bestowed up on him.

“Shea phoned home and said ‘I’ve been chosen

to play in the Olympics, and I said ‘okay,’” Tracy commented, explaining it’s kind of a family trait not to overreact – one that Shea

shares. But she and James who, with Shea,share roots in Sicamous minor hockey, are defi nitely excited, and are hoping to attendat least one of their son’s games.

Sicamous Eagles manager Wayne Marchis also pretty excited by the news that Shea, an Eagle alumni, will be playing forhis community and country at the Games.March says Shea has been totally focusedthroughout his career on what he wanted todo: make it to the NHL. In the process, Sheahelped the Eagles win the KIJHL West-ern Canadians in 2001-02; he helped takethe Kelowna Rockets to three consecutiveWHL Memorial Cup championship games,including the win in 2004; and, after signingwith Nashville in 2004, he helped the Ca-

Sicamous council is supporting an applica-tion to exclude property on the Twin Anchors Marine Manufacturing site from the Agricul-tural Land Reserve.

The Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) application, sub-mitted by Kyllo Proper-ties for 675 Old Town Rd., relates to property on the back portion of the industrial site that is, technically, still in the land reserve, despite its historic industrial use. The ALC recognizes that use and has no ob-jections to it, comment-ed district community

planner Mike Marrs. Furthermore, the ALC offered its support to exclude the 6.1-hectare portion of land from the reserve back in 2007.

The ALC’s review from 2007 notes that while the land “has ca-

pacity for agricultural use, its awkward shape, relatively small size and adjoining industrial uses limit the likelihood of agricultural develop-ment.”

The intent behind the 2007 application

was to use a portion of the property for worker housing, with the major-ity to be used for house-boat and mini-storage. The ALC did not object to part of the land being used for housing, pro-vided it didn’t become permanent residential development. It offered its approval of the ex-clusion provided sever-al conditions were met, one of them being the rezoning of the prop-erty to re� ect industrial and seasonal residential uses. But, as noted by Marrs, while work to ful� ll conditions of the approval were started, “economic conditions deteriorated, causing delays during which the

conditional time frame stated in the approval lapsed.”

With the current ap-plication, Marrs said it’s possible the ALC will come back with other requirements, but, “from what I’ve gath-ered in our discussions, they’re more or less pre-pared to reinstate that exclusion.”

Ownership issue has complex historyMayor Terry Rysz

told the News this is an old and complicated issue, and is actually a provincial matter.

“A lot of stuff has been grandfathered in, and it’s a bit of a mess and unfortunately the way it’s been moni-tored and dealt with over the past 40 years or so, it hasn’t been all that desirable from my point of view because there isn’t a lot of clar-ity with it,” said Rysz.

Coun. Jeff Mallmes, who oversees council’s waterfront research portfolio, con� rmed this is a provincial matter, but was able to provide some clar-ity. He explained that

in the beach area of concern, and typically on most waterbod-ies in the province, land below the vis-ible high water mark

is typically owned by the provincial govern-ment. However, there are properties with le-gal lot descriptions that extend into the water, including at least those along the beach the

Rowses hoped to stroll. “They are not pay-

ing property tax on the area that is below the high water mark,” said Mallmes after speak-ing with the province. “They have threatened to take the Crown to court but they’ve never done it.

The Crown kind of wishes that they would so it would be estab-lished, but right now it’s just a general rul-ing that nobody should own anything below the high water mark.

“As soon as they go to development, as soon as they have to have a legal survey done, their lot line will pull back to the high water mark. So basi-

cally it belongs to the general public, all of it, below the high water mark.”

Mallmes recom-mends people wishing to con� rm whether they can access a beach area call FrontCounter BC in Kamloops.

“We (the dis-trict) can have a say on the 200 feet from the shore, from the high water mark, but when it comes to ac-tually enforcing, that would have to be done through FrontCoun-terBC or FLNRO (the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Re-source Operations).”

My recent columns on B.C.’s struggle with the growing westward migra-tion of transients have pro-duced responses that fall mainly into two groups.

The largest is people relieved that somebody is questioning the urban me-dia narrative. That’s the one where drifters, drug ad-dicts, welfare shoppers and thieves are the victims, and working people whose hard-earned communities are be-ing degraded are the prob-lem because of their selfish, uncaring attitudes.

Then there are readers so marinated in our nanny-state education, media and political system they object to anything other than a big-government response. They tend to ask, what’s your so-lution, Tom?

As someone who has lost one relative to heroin addic-tion and almost lost another, I reflect on the history of successful addiction treat-

ment. That is one of detox and abstinence.

That’s why I oppose the failed model of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, where resources are poured into concentrated housing and “harm reduction” that per-petuate addiction, handouts and helplessness. Housing Minister Rich Coleman is rolling this out in other com-munities, in what I fear is an effort to paper over the prob-lem for an election year.

The Globe and Mail re-cently profiled a metham-phetamine addict enrolled at Onsite, the belated treat-ment addition to Vancou-ver’s Insite supervised injec-tion site. It was his fifth try, which may have something to do with the fact that when he walks outside he is in the middle of Canada’s biggest street drug bazaar.

Contrast that with a fa-cility called Baldy Hughes, a therapeutic commu-nity 30 km outside Prince George. It’s a working farm, designed to provide a year-long program of ab-

stinence-based therapy and meaningful work.

There’s a greenhouse for winter farming, livestock to tend and the residents have designed and built a new horse stable. Residents can complete their high school education, take first aid training and learn basic computer skills. What they can’t do is leave unescort-ed during their treatment program. They can’t bring drugs, alcohol, weapons or phones with them.

It’s a costly program, with a small number of spaces available on referral from B.C.’s social develop-ment ministry. Others can finance it with the help of medical insurance.

I mention this not to sug-gest it is a solution for every community, but to compare it with what the B.C. gov-ernment is spending mil-lions on.

A news event was ar-ranged to greet the first resident moving from Victo-ria’s squalid downtown tent camp to a refurbished nurs-

ing home. And who was the poster child for this project, hand-picked by the agency that runs the growing net-work of shelters in the area?

He described himself as a former Edmonton resident who was going from shel-ter to shelter and ending up camped in the squat. He was impressed by the tidy room with three meals a day, in a “low barrier” facility where booze and drugs are brought in, no questions asked.

What he was really look-ing forward to was an oppor-tunity to kick back and play his favourite video game. That would be Grand Theft Auto, where your character runs around stealing cars, escaping police and meet-ing with criminal gangs. It’s popular with adolescents, which these days means anyone under 30.

This is where your tax dollars are going. Waves of people come in, with key trouble spots being com-munities on the major high-ways coming into the Lower Mainland.

Tragic deadline for troubled youth

OPINION

What are the limits of compassion in our society, and specifically B.C.? Can we put a price on it? Does it stop at a certain age?

Right now, young people in care in the province are being virtually cut adrift in our society as soon as they reach the age of 19.

It’s time enough for them to fend for themselves, our society evidently believes.

It’s a convenient solution for many of us, but it for-gets that there are good reasons, often profoundly complex, why these individuals were placed in care as children.

“So what?” our society seems to say. “It’s not my problem and I shouldn’t have to pay for it.”

It is Stephanie Cadieux’s problem, however. The Minister of Children and Family Development, and Surrey-Cloverdale MLA, is well-aware of the chal-lenges of young people aging out of the system, and says her ministry is doing everything it can to increase support for the transition.

But whenever the death of a young person formerly receiving government help is discovered, it seems to serve as a tragic reminder of how the system is failing some of our most vulnerable.

This week we learned of the demise of another teen, Patricia Lee Evoy, 19, who was discovered in a Burnaby apartment March 10, the apparent victim of a drug overdose. She had been on a youth agreement to receive financial help, but it expired when she turned 19 in October. She was, by many accounts, a bright young woman, who had shown “remarkable resilience” in battling the disadvantages of a harsh life, according to BC Representative for Youth Mary-Ellen Turpel-Lafond.

The BC Teachers Federation is now calling for Cadieux’s resignation, after an emergency motion passed by some 700 teachers. The teachers say there are far too many young people like Evoy, and it’s time the government does more.

While the BCTF call may do a grave disservice to those in government working hard to deal with a complex situation on a case-by-case basis, it’s hard not to agree that more should be done.

As a society, we can espouse many things, but, ultimately, our level of compassion must be judged by our actions.

PLEASE STOP SPEEDING BEFORE SPEEDING

STOPS YOU!!

Seeking out silence in this modern, noisy world can be a real challenge, but some things are under our control, such as resist-ing the urge to talk with people when out in nature or quieting our minds while we garden.

When I go to the Island, my brother and I usually head out to a provincial park that’s big enough to be alone in and our slow steps and stops through the hushed forest floor and along the river are always with the under-standing that neither of us say a word to each other so that we can be truly present to con-sciously experience all the sights, scents, touch sensations, sounds and the silence around us.

But that silence didn’t actually ex-ist, because in reality there was a whole lot of racket going on that our ears just couldn’t tune into.

Our planet is con-stantly being bombard-ed with energy such as photons and cosmic rays that travel at dif-ferent high and low speed wavelengths.

This is known as the electromagnetic spec-trum, and within those ranges of vibrational frequencies are things like radio, ultra-violet and infrared light and x-rays as well as the visible light and audi-ble tones that our eyes and ears are designed to receive.

Everyone and ev-erything is affected by these electromagnetic energies – so much so, that life on earth as we know it couldn’t exist without them.

When these waves travel through a me-dium such as water or air, it creates a sound or a subtle audible fre-quency.

All matter, such as living organisms and their sub-systems such as organs, rocks, gases, distant planets and even the excretion of nectar by plants to attract insects – emits or vibrates a unique energy ‘signature’ too, and all these individual signatures then create countless interacting energy fields and sound frequency patterns.

Hans Jenny, inven-tor of the tonoscope that translates the hu-

man voice into visible patterns, became con-vinced that biological evolution was a result of these vibrations, and that their nature de-termined the ultimate outcome – that sound is the creative principle and must be regarded as primordial.

He was able to dem-onstrate that when the vowels of the ancient languages of Hebrew and Sanskrit were pro-nounced, the patterns produced were in the shape of the written symbols for these vow-els, such as the sound or tone of OHM.

That group of three sacred vowels and their meanings of earth, at-mosphere and heaven, is central to the Indian philosophical belief that God first created sound, that the uni-verse arose from it and is continually held to-gether by it.

In Genesis 1:1 it says: “In the begin-ning was the Word”, which (to me) may have meant the same thing except in a differ-ent language, because God’s ‘word’ was a sound vibration, and sound vibrations can create, generate and in-fluence all kinds of pat-terns, shapes and mov-ing processes – even into highly ordered 3-D forms.

Sacred geometry is

also associated with the belief that God is the geometer of the world, because there are so many universal pat-terns found throughout nature, such as the spi-ral of a shell or flower as well as the hexago-nal cells of a beehive.

Plants are affected by varying kinds of sound or music, and ex-periments have shown that when they’re sub-jected to high vibration classical or traditional Indian music, they ex-hibited earlier flower-ing and fruiting, as well as increased growth and seed yields by as much as 60 per cent, but failed to thrive with low vibration rock or especially heavy metal.

More and more farmers and garden-ers worldwide are now becoming aware of this phenomenon and broadcast high frequency music or sound over their fields and plots (see Sonic Bloom). Singing, as well as bird song and the buzzing of insects, are also known to be important stimulators of plant growth.

Linda Long, a bio-chemist from Exeter University, recently took our understand-ing of plants and sound vibrations a giant step further by demonstrat-ing that plants actually create music.

She did this by grouping the sound emissions of protein constituents into seven sequences, which she then related with the seven musical notes – one note per sequence, then her software read the structure of a pro-tein and converted it into corresponding mu-sical notes.

What was truly as-tounding though, was that she found that in-stead of random notes, the sequence formed a kind of musical tune. Her conclusions were that each protein in a plant has its own spe-cific note, so if it had 100 proteins, then 100 musical compositions could be created.

Just think about that!

So maybe the heav-ens – or the distant har-monics of the planets – and nature actually do ‘sing’ in their own spe-cial, mysterious way.

If only we had the ears to hear in those silent moments, that incredible symphony of sounds and the epic-sized choir of nature’s ‘voices’ that are all around us, all the time.

-This column is ded-icated to Heide Her-mary, co-founder of the Gaia College, who ‘listens and hears’ ev-erything.

Do the heavens and nature sing?

Puppet preparation: Puppeteer/actors Zompopo Flores, left, Cathy Stubington, James Fagan Tait and Sarah May Redmond work with one of the puppets to be used in Runaway Moon Theatre’s new produc-tion, 21 Ways to Make the World Last Longer, which is going to Victoria’s Spark Festival next week, and will be presented at the Shuswap Theatre in Salmon Arm March 31 to April 2. Photo contributed

Enderby-Grindrod theatre com-pany Runaway Moon is taking its puppets on the road.

The company, known for its en-vironmental productions and com-munity plays often involving hand-made, life-like puppets, is presenting its documentary-style puppet pro-duction, 21 Ways to Make the World Last Longer, at the Spark Festival in Victoria’s Belfry Theatre next week.

“21 Ways to Make the World Last Longer is a practical, hopeful and simple tribute to the beauty of hu-manity,” reads a release about the production, which makes its way to Salmon Arm after the Victoria show-ing.

“This brand new puppet play for youth and adults is a 90-minute fun-ny and dramatic sharing of the kooky and maybe necessary approaches to living on an endangered planet.”

Co-written by Runaway Moon ar-tistic director Cathy Stubington and director James Fagan Tait, who also directed the play Tuwitames for Run-away Moon at the Splatsin Tsm7ak-saltn Teaching Centre in Enderby in 2014, this production features 28 puppet characters along with their handlers and live actors.

Puppet makers/operators Stub-ington and Zompopo Flores are joined by guest performers Fagan Tait, Sarah May Redmond and Tom Jones, who are well known to Run-

away Moon and Caravan Farm The-atre audiences.

“Using the magic of Runaway Moon rod puppetry and an eclectic quintet of puppeteers, this produc-tion is sure to make you wonder, remember and reflect,” reads the re-lease.

Runaway Moon has been explor-ing and performing its particular style of puppet theatre for more than three decades.

From its roots in Montreal, and a series of productions at the Caravan Farm Theatre from 1989 to 1998, the company has since been based at Curly Willow Farm in Grindrod.

Its shows are often held outdoors in deliberately planted settings of corn, sunflowers and other vegeta-bles.

“This new play is created for the indoor theatre setting, allowing the puppeteers to disappear in the dark while the puppet world comes alive in the imaginations of the audience,” reads the release.

21 Ways to Make the World Last Longer takes the stage at the Shus-wap Theatre in Salmon Arm March 31 and April 1 at 7:30 p.m., and April 2 at 2 and 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are available at the Ticket Seller at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. Call 250-549-7469 or order at ticketseller.ca.

Or in Enderby, tickets can be pur-chased at Anne C. Casey’s account-ing office at 1304 Belvedere St. Call 250-838-0013.

For centuries the ol-ive branch has symbol-ized peace. In Palestine, olive oil is the primary source of income for about 75,000 farmers.

Under the military occupation of Israel, Palestinian farmers have suffered the de-struction of their trees and land – bulldozed and burned to make way for illegal settle-ments or the imposing 30-foot-high concrete “security fence.”

Sicamous United Church minister Juana-ta Austin travelled to the area and found a way to give hope and income to Palestinian farmers.

Zatoun, (Arabic for olive) is a company that markets fair trade Pales-tinian olive oil, soap and the aromatic herb mix called za’atar.

With every purchase from Zatoun, you sup-port a fair price for Pal-estinian farmers in the struggle for their liveli-hood and land. As well, a share of proceeds sup-ports Project Hope, an education and art ther-apy program for youth in Palestine. Another portion goes to Trees for Life, a project to plant tens of thousands

of olive tree saplings to replaced trees destroyed by the military occupa-tion.

When Austin gave the last of her za’atar to Mustafa Zakreet, the first Syrian refugee in the Shuswap, he held it to his heart. So Austin knew she needed to get more.

“Several refugee sponsor groups have al-ready purchased a wel-

come gift of oil, soap and za’atar from me, and I am happy to sup-ply it as long as the need exists,” she says.

Those interested in purchasing these prod-ucts can contact Austin.

“Together we can support peace and jus-tice for Palestinian farmers,” she says.
