PLEASE STOP SPEEDING BEFORE SPEEDING

STOPS YOU!!Making their statement: Approximately 20 Eagle River Secondary students took to the sidewalk outside the school on Wednesday, June 4 to air their views on the dispute between B.C. teachers and the government. Photo contributed

Students stage walkout, job action ongoingSudents of Eagle River

Secondary skipped out of their classes and let the com-munity know their thoughts on the ongoing teachers dis-pute on June 3.

Approximately 30 students stood on the street with signs for their own strike action.

Janine Moore, a Grade 11 student, says the students were protesting how unfair

the dispute between the BC Teachers Federation and the government is, as students are missing out on valuable edu-cation time.

“I personally agree with what the teachers are striking for, but we shouldn’t be miss-ing out on class time,” said Moore. “Where’s our say in all of this?”

Moore also said that the timing for the strike isn’t fa-vourable due to graduation

ceremonies and exams com-ing up.

“It’s not fair that the gradu-ates are going to miss out on having their teachers at grad,” said Moore.

Strike on ThursdayRotating one-day strikes

will continue as the province awaits word on whether the BCTF will move to a full-scale walkout. School Dis-trict #83 teachers will be on

the picket lines Thursday, June 12. As with the previous strikes, parents are asked to make alternate arrangements for their children that day.

Teachers also voted Mon-day and Tuesday as to wheth-er they support a full-scale walkout. The earliest this could take place is Monday, June 16. Results of the vote were expected Tuesday eve-ning, after the Eagle Valley News’ press deadline.

Council members, staff see value in Niagra Falls conference

Members of District of Sicamous council got the chance to travel to Niagara Falls to take in learning opportunities at the Federation of Ca-nadian Municipalities conference.

Mayor Darrell Trou-ton, chief administrative of� cer Heidi Frank, and Couns. Joan Thomson and Don Richardson all attended the � ve-day event. The conference included study sessions,

workshops, and a vari-ety of guest speakers. Major topics discussed were lack of funding for infrastructure, dif� culty in recruiting manage-ment staff and creating balanced budgets.

A total of $10,431 was set aside for the trip, which is one of three major local gov-ernment conventions that council attends each year. The other two are the Union of B.C. Municipalities and the Southern Interior Local Government As-

sociation conventions, which cost $25,612 combined.

Frank said the cost of attending the event was worth it.

“The value of attend-ing these conferences is

not only the informa-tion gathered, but in networking with other communities and � g-uring out how we can work together to ensure the federal government understands the needs at a municipal level,” said Frank.

Thomson also said the conference was worth the cost.

“It was good to talk to other councillors and mayors and be able to network,” said Thom-son.

Sicamous council

has also been involved in lobbying the fed-eral government to gain more support in terms of funding and Frank said the conference was a good way to ensure the federal government understands municipal needs.

“We put forward resolutions on the � oor that are taken to the fed-eral government, and we then aggressively lobby to have to resolu-tions heard and come to fruition.”

A project to address the site of many acci-dents on the Trans-Can-ada Highway is moving forward.

The Ministry of Transportation and In-frastructure (MOTI) announced last Friday that replacement of the

Malakwa Bridge is go-ing out to tender.

Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo said the province will ante up $22 million and the federal govern-ment has agreed to con-tribute another $13 mil-lion, so the project to four-lane the highway and bridge deck can move forward.

“Provided it comes within the budget en-velope, the anticipation is a contract will be awarded, with construc-tion starting sometime this year and with com-pletion in 2015,” said Kyllo.

Last summer, MOTI revealed plans to re-place the bridge as part

of the B.C. govern-ment’s commitment to four-lane the Trans-Canada between Kam-loops and the Alberta border.

During an open house, it was noted 30 collisions occurred on the Malakwa bridge be-tween 2002 and 2011. Two of those were fatal-

ities, while 12 resulted in injury and 16 in prop-erty damage only.

“I think it’s fantastic considering the number of traf� c accidents as well as closures,” says Kyllo. “Anything we can do to improve traf-� c � ows and make the road safer is a step in the right direction.”

Plans proceed for Malakwa bridgeBy Barb BrouwerEagle Valley News

Shuswap MLA defends Liberal changes to ALC

Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo fully supports the Liberal government’s controversial Bill 24, which divides the Ag-ricultural Land Reserve into two zones.

Kyllo was one of 44 MLAs who voted for the Agricultural Land Commission Amend-ment Act, which passed in a 44-31 vote on Thursday, June 3 in the B.C. Legislature, after the Liberals shut down debate. The bill eases restrictions on second-ary uses of farmland in the North, Kootenay and Interior zones, now Zone 2. Zone 1, made up of Vancouver Island, South Coast and Okana-gan, retains the intent of the original ALR, cre-ated in 1973.

The bill also changes the Agricultural Land Commission by formal-izing the six regional ALC panels to make decisions on exclusions and permitted uses. Minister of Agriculture, Norm Letnick, states on the B.C. government website that amend-ments will give the ALC chair more � exibility in referring applications to the ALC’s execu-tive committee, made

up of the chair and six regional vice chairs, for decisions.

“Giving the chair the ability to refer decisions to the ALC executive committee is one more step in ensuring B.C.’s farmland is preserved. The chair could use it when they believe the application could have substantial impact such as inter-regional sig-ni� cance or major land or large infrastructure considerations, or be types of activities that have not been previous-ly considered,” writes Letnick, who took over in April from MLA Pat Pimm, who is ill.

Critics, including some members of the Columbia Shuswap Re-gional District’s Grow Shuswap agricultural committee, see the bill as a way to free up land for development, par-ticularly for fracking for liquid natural gas.

Kyllo sees no down-side to the bill and main-tains it will help families keep farming.

“I think it was a pretty conservative ap-proach. The main fo-cus was de� nitely on protecting the major-ity of the areas that are responsible for 85 per cent of the food produc-tion in B.C.,” he told

the News, adding that areas which will now be considered for non-ag-ricultural uses provide about 15 per cent of farm-gate sales. He said the amended act would help farming parents who wish to entice their children to farm. They might wish to subdivide one quarter of an acre to house their grown chil-dren so they could move back to help.

“I don’t think we’re going to see a real end-run on agricultural land like some of the skeptics are maintaining.”

Prior to the amended act, Salmon Arm, how-ever, was already able to take land out of the ALR, with consider-ation of soil quality, for such uses as the Smart-Centres development.

“If there is some op-portunity to make some slight improvements and changes, to help protect farming families which are in areas that currently provide only

15 per cent; we’re mak-ing a small adjustment to give both the regional panels and the ALC the chance to take a few other things into consid-eration,” Kyllo said. “I don’t see that as a real dangerous or challeng-ing step.”

He says the oil and gas commission can currently apply to the ALC for pump stations and, regarding pipe-lines, he doesn’t see them as a threat.

“Pipelines, for one, are buried. They would be remediated and back into full crop produc-tion within a couple of years.”

Overall, Kyllo con-cludes: “I see this as a small step. When the rubber hits the road, when things start com-ing forward and applica-tions are being made to the commission, I think everybody will sigh a bit

of a sigh of relief.”Kyllo stresses the in-

dependence of the ALC. However, emails have been publicized from Liberal MLA Pat Pimm, who was made Minister of Agriculture by Pre-mier Christy Clark fol-lowing the last election, which show disdain for an independent com-mission.

In an email written in July 2012 to MLA Bill Bennett and ALC chair Richard Bullock, Pimm writes: “Every time I try to contact Mr. Bulluch (sic) I am told that he is an arm’s length body and for me to get the hell out of his hair. Who the hell is running our Province anyways?”

Kyllo, however, said he hasn’t read the emails in their entirety, and thinks it’s impor-tant the ALC maintains independence from gov-ernment.

VICTORIA – The prospect of piping diluted heavy oil across north-ern B.C. and loading it in tankers has generated sig-nificant genuine protests, as well as bursts of celebrity nonsense, rent-a-stunts and instant online petitions.

Natural gas pipelines and export terminals, on the other hand, are generally accepted by the public. Pre-mier Christy Clark staked her political future on de-veloping liquefied natural gas exports, and pulled off an upset election win that not even Clark expected.

Most of the heat she’s taken on that is focused on her extravagant predictions that LNG will pay off the debt and maybe even get rid of our sales tax.

But as I predicted 18 months ago, there’s a shift in the target of professional protesters to natural gas. A reminder of that awaited

me on a morning walk to the B.C. legislature.

At the front gate stood a young woman in a bikini top and shorts, her skin smeared with a dark mate-rial, presumably to simu-late crude oil. She waved to passing traffic, stretching a banner promoting a web-site for the “Unist’ot’en camp.”

Legislature security in-tervened to clear the entry walkway before I could ask the protester who was paying her. The fundraising website she was promot-ing hadn’t been updated since March, but this isn’t the first time this camp has been promoted here.

Chevron’s Burnaby oil refinery was also targeted May 30 by protesters who locked themselves to a gate with bicycle locks and chains. The camp came to my attention last summer, when it was promoted by one of Victoria’s chronic anarchist protesters, a woman who goes by the

name Zoe Blunt. Blunt and other southern protesters documented their trip north to support the camp’s stat-ed goal, to stop the Pacific Trails gas pipeline, planned to supply the Chevron-Apache liquefied natural gas terminal near Kitimat.

The camp is on Crown land near Smithers. It was established at the end of a one-lane bridge by two members of the Wet’suwet’en First Nation. While that community’s elected council maintains a respectful relationship with the B.C. government, the splinter group has confron-tation in mind.

A clearer picture of this situation is provided by a relentless blogger named Greg Renouf, who special-izes in investigating pro-testers across Canada. His blog, www.genuinewitty.com, should be required reading for reporters who are presented with slick banners and posturing pro-testers.

Renouf follows the money as well as the famil-iar faces who pop up at pro-test after protest. In April he reported that the increas-ingly militant Council of Canadians is supporting the Unist’ot’en camp, along with what he describes as “a host of NGOs, unions, militant anarchists and pro-fessional protesters.” They include Harsha Walia, who organized violent protests against the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.

Meanwhile in the real world, TransCanada Corp. announced last week its subsidiary NovaGas Trans-mission has signed an agreement with Chevron and Apache for a gas pipe-line that will connect to Pa-cific Trails. It’s one of four gas pipelines TransCanada has in development for what is planned to be the biggest industrial invest-ment in B.C. history.

They can smear it with oil, but gas is the protest in-dustry’s latest target.

Co-conspirators in gas price gouging

OpiniOn

A poll conducted by Insights West, in conjunction with Black Press, shows that high gas prices are hav-ing a significant effect on people’s day-to-day lives.

Those polled quite correctly identified the two major culprits — all levels of government, through taxation policies; and the oil companies themselves.

B.C.’s gas prices are consistently the highest in the country. This is due solely to taxation. In particular, the provincial carbon tax, which adds almost seven cents per litre to the cost of gasoline, push gas prices much higher than they are in other parts of Canada, and even other parts of B.C.

The federal government also takes a large share. It takes 10 cents per litre, plus GST. It actually charges GST on the taxes, as well as the product. This is unfair and should not be permitted. As all taxes are rolled into the price at the pump, many people are unaware of this blatant tax grab.

The federal government is proud of its take. It just announced how it plans to “share” this ill-gotten revenue with local governments over the next 10 years. In other words, there will be no tax relief any time soon on that front.

Those surveyed by Insights West said they are driving less and using transit, or walking, more. These are reasonable alternatives to high gas prices, but the transit alternative doesn’t work for most resi-dents. The oil companies come in for some criticism from poll respondents, and while it is not all deserved, the companies do not have completely clean hands.

The price of fuel regularly jumps up late at night — for no good reason, other than to force people heading to work in the morning who need gas to pay more. The prices almost always fall by four to five cents a litre by the noon hour.

Those polled say oil companies often raise prices before long weekends — and this too does happen on occasion.

If government wasn’t so complicit in keeping gas prices high, it might be worthwhile to ask it to be more vigilant about some of the obvious unfairness in pricing. But when it comes to gas and diesel prices, all the players, including all levels of govern-ment, have dirty hands.

Natural gas: the other pipeline showdownBy Tom FletcherNews Columnist


We know how hard you worked to reach graduation day, and

now it’s time to celebrate your accomplishments. We wish

you a happy and successful future.

A message from your teachers, members of the North Okanagan-Shuswap Teachers’ Association

Congratulations to the grads of 2014!

Principal’s Message to Grads

Graduation is, of course, a special time in the life of everyone who completes school. It is at the same time a happy and a sad occasion; the end of one chapter and the beginning of the next. It is not the end of just another school year, but the grand culmination of thirteen years of education – an education in school with books and teachers, and tests, and reports and field trips and sports and arts and music… but also an education in life, in joy and sorrow and laughter and tears and romance and friendship. Don’t ever forget the people who helped you and stood by you: teachers, parents, family, and friends. We are all very proud of you. Go out in the world and be the best you can be. Learn, laugh, love, see, do, listen, experience. Most of all, do what makes you happy and be true to yourself. Congratulations and best wishes!

Although it’s been going through some changes, the Eagle Val-ley Arts Council will be sticking around.

Recently, treasurer Carla Krens decided to step down, due to per-sonal reasons, followed

by seven of the eight directors.

The remaining director, Terry Sin-ton, says that there is enough interest from included mem-ber groups, that there will be a new council

formed and the Red Barn Art’s Centre will remain up and running.

“Nothings going to change,” said Sinton.

New council mem-bers will be coming forward in the next few weeks.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, you are ready for something or someone new. Right now is a good time to reach out and connect with a new passion. Things will get more interesting rather quickly.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21You need to focus and get back to work this week, Gemini. Things have slipped out of your fingers, and it could take a little while before you get back on a schedule.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Shop around for the best deals before making a big purchase, Cancer. A little extra work can lead to substantial savings. There are deals to be had, so be patient.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Expect to reach a milestone in your life, Leo. This may have something to do with your family or career. Either way, the praise you will receive is warranted.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Try not to push yourself too hard this week, Scorpio. This is a good time to maintain a low profile. Drawing too much attention to yourself might ruffle the wrong feathers this week.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, something will bring a smile to your face early in the week, and there’s pretty much nothing that can put you in a bad mood. This is an ideal time to get things accomplished.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20You are never one to walk away from a challenge, Capricorn. This week you will be presented with a big obstacle, and you will have to step up to tackle the hard stuff.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Keep your eyes open and you just may stumble on something new and fascinating this week, Aquarius. This is a good time to explore new ideas and apply them to your daily life.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Someone gets bent out of shape over something that seems laughable to you, Pisces. You may need to adjust your view.
