Financial impacts of flooding linger

The District of Sicamous continues to struggle with the B.C. government to recoup costs associated with last year’s debris flow and flooding.

Last summer, on June 23, a devastating debris flow from Sicamous Creek into the 2 Mile subdivision pushed the community into a state of emergency. The situation was exacerbated by the subsequent high water in Shuswap and Mara lakes that caused wide-scale flooding.

Last week, council addressed two let-ters concerning expenses relating to costs incurred during the emergency and after. One was from Emergency Management BC, stating the district’s recovery plan that describes recovery work required to restore infrastructure to pre-event condi-tion had been approved to a maximum of $356,050. But, while all the works noted in the plan total exactly that amount, Emergency Management BC (EMBC) states the district is only eligible for 80 per cent of the accepted claim that exceeds the first $1,000, meaning Sicamous will be

receiving $284,040.Perhaps a greater sore spot for council,

however, is EMBC’s unwillingness to consider the $169,698 the district spent to provide potable water during the di-saster to residents and tourists an eligible expense.

The letter states the region’s emer-gency program co-ordinator recalls pre-vious flooding events where the prov-ince, through the Provincial Emergency Program, has supplied potable water to communities with similarly compromised water systems, yet EMBC has remained

adamant in denying Sicamous all potable water costs.

“It is difficult to understand that if an earthquake in the Lower Mainland de-stroyed the domestic water systems for those cities, that the Province would not be involved in the acquisition, distribution and provision of water to our citizens,” the letter states.

Sicamous Mayor Darrell Trouton says that overall, Sicamous has done well in recouping costs related to the incidents of and following June 23. However, he feels

Damage: District council continues lobbying effort to recoup emergency costs from 2012. By Lachlan LabereEagle Valley News

the district’s case on potable water should not be dismissed.

“It’s a lot of money; we could use it else-where,” says Trouton. “We have contingen-cies set up for things like this so we can take the hit. Do we feel that we should take the hit or have to take that burden? I don’t think so. Is it our responsibility to have contingencies set up if we have to? Yes. But under the case of what happened here, why wouldn’t we be

eligible for that under disaster financial as-sistance?”

Council agreed to send a letter to B.C. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton (who oversees EMBC), ex-pressing concern with a perceived lack of ‘working together’ on this issue, and request-ing that the ministry look into whether or not EMBC’s stance is appropriate.

Trouton says the goal isn’t to recoup 100 per cent of the costs, but for fairness and accountability guide decision-mak-

ing.“If you look at

the fine print, it says ‘we’re not going to do this, we’re not go-ing to do that,’ but I think that’s more the bureaucrats,” says Trouton. “And we have to get beyond that, keep fighting for our residents, to say, ‘listen, why is it up to us to pay for all of this when it was an emer-gency situation?’

“We’re continuous-ly working at it. I’m a little discouraged with how long it’s taking but that’s what we do.”

As for Sicamous’

compromised water system, Trouton said the district continues to work with the B.C. government, engi-neers and consultants towards a proposed $4.5 million water treatment system. Two-thirds of the up-grade is being funded with provincial and federal funding, and the remainder by the district. Asked if he’s heard any frustration from the community – which remains on a water-quality advi-sory – over the amount of time it’s taking to replace the water sys-

tem, Trouton said very little.

“I think people are understanding of it,” said Trouton. “It’s our job to help them un-derstand that, listen, it’s not as easy at it sounds. We don’t just go and hire the first contractor available. There are many con-tractors sitting there going, well, just hire us and get it done. Well, I think it’s our responsibility to do it right for our taxpay-ers. If we went and did that and it wasn’t right, there would be a lot of backlash.”

A maintenance plan has been recommended for the Finlayson Park sports fields that would set the district back ap-proximately $9,000 an-nually.

Earlier this summer, Sicamous resident Craig Mitchell expressed his concerns for the con-dition of the fields to Sicamous council. A personal fitness instruc-tor who uses the park regularly, Mitchell told council that the condi-tion of the fields were bumpy and, in some ar-eas contained holes and, that overall, use of the fields posed a risk of injury.

In July, council re-ceived a report from Dale Shelby of Terrason Environment Inc., who assessed the field and determined that overall, it’s in reasonable shape. Compaction, he writes, is the biggest issue for the playing field areas.

“This causes surface water pooling during heavy rains, and re-stricted root growth,” writes Shelby.

The solution pro-posed is a regular main-tenance program of topdressing with sand,

deep-tine aeration, over-seeding and sweeping with heavy-duty drag mats that would work the sand into aeration holes as well as filling minor irregularities. This program was es-timated to cost $1,000 per acre.

In August, follow-ing another appearance by Mitchell in council chambers, he, district operations manager Randy Hand, Mayor

Darrell Trouton and dis-trict administrator Heidi Frank walked the field, with Mitchell pointing out a number of depres-sions in the field that were a concern.

Hand says those spots have since been filled in with soil and topped with grass seed. And while the district does do some mainte-nance of Finlayson, Hand says the pub-lic works department

doesn’t currently have no funding to increase service levels in the park.

“Ten-thousand dol-lars is a bit of a hit,” says Hand. “If this is something residents feel they want, it could be brought forward at bud-get.”

Hand says the dis-trict does not have the equipment required to do the work suggested in the report, and that

the work would have to be contracted out.

Search for drowning victim to continueThe search for the

body of Kevin Boutil-ier, a missing 25-year-old Calgary man who is presumed drowned in Shuswap Lake, was unsucessful after two days.

Plans are now in the works to continue the search later this week.

On Sunday and Monday, a search was

organized with the Royal Canadian Ma-rine Search and Res-cue, Shuswap Search and Rescue and Vernon Search and Rescue, us-ing a side-scan sonar near the Cinnemousun Narrows.

“Our second day of searching using the side-scan sonar com-pleted the search area

south of the last known position of the missing person. The five po-tential areas found the first day revealed noth-ing but false targets,” said Rob Sutherland, Royal Canadian Ma-rine Search and Rescue #106 Shuswap Station leader.

The groups are now attempting to co-ordi-

nate a further search for today, Wednesday, Sept. 4, which will in-volve two possible sites, before the search would move north to another potential location.

Boutilier dove into the water off a house-boat on Aug. 24 in an attempt to retrieve a hat. He was seen in distress and did not resurface.


VICTORIA – Another school year dawns in B.C., with the prospect of disrup-tive labour disputes.

First up are 27,000 sup-port staff, in a legal strike position. These are the teacher aides, custodians, bus drivers and crossing guards. Most are members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, with a few Teamsters and other lo-cals scattered around the 60 school districts.

Public discussion about these disputes usually fo-cuses on wage increases, which CUPE members in schools haven’t seen for four years. Their current deals expired more than a year ago, after they were subject to the same two-year wage freeze imposed on the rest of government.

The B.C. government moved from the post-reces-sion wage freeze to a sys-tem they call “co-operative gains,” where raises must

be financed by savings in other areas of the operation. Only two provincial em-ployee groups have yet to do this: school support staff and teachers.

(Education Minister Peter Fassbender confirmed last week that teacher rais-es will be funded by extra transfers from the provin-cial treasury as they try to get a long-term deal. But that’s a topic for another day.)

CUPE, the largest union in the country, has a so-phisticated media campaign to generate public sympa-thy. We are repeatedly re-minded not only that the last raise was 2009, but that the “average” pay is a mere $24,000 a year. If that num-ber is accurate, it reflects a large number of part-timers.

Let’s look at a few pro-visions CUPE doesn’t talk about, on behalf of those self-employed tax-payers who have no paid holidays, no employer pen-sion or benefits and no paid overtime, but are expected

to help pay all of the above to government workers.

The 60 contracts have many variations, but core elements are the same. In the Central Okanagan school district, the starting CUPE wage rate is $17.37 an hour. The top rate is $26.59, or $28.78 for work-ers who qualify for a “trades adjustment.”

All contracts have rigid seniority and “bumping” clauses to ensure that new employees absorb any re-ductions in working hours. From a taxpayers’ perspec-tive, this leads to the maxi-mum number of employees making the highest wages.

Overtime in Central Okanagan is time and a half for the first two hours, and double time after that. Contracts also include the provision that unsched-uled overtime is subject to a four-hour minimum. It’s amazing how often an un-expected hour of work can arise when it’s paid at qua-druple time.

Then there are paid

sick days. The Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation re-ports that the average B.C. private sector worker took 7.4 sick days last year. The public sector average was 12.

The Surrey contract de-tails the windfall of unused sick days that must be paid out to employees who re-tire as early as age 55. The maximum is 150 days, for a lavish perk only available to employees hired before July 1, 1996. Even so, we’ll be paying these bonuses out for years to come. It goes on and on. Six weeks’ paid vacation after 20 years, with an extra day added for every year after that.

There are many lit-tle things, such as a $60 “swimsuit allowance” for teacher aides who take part in swimming instruction.

This is not to devalue the work done by these people. It is to suggest that given the growing gap between pub-lic and private employment benefits, finding savings is reasonable.

Motorized scooter regulations simply a cash cow

OpiniOn

A proposal to regulate the use of motorized mobil-ity aids – to be debated at next month’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention – seems, at first blush, to make some sense.

Most of us have probably seen instances of these personal vehicles – including wheelchairs and scoot-ers – being mishandled by users, raising legitimate concerns about their own and others’ safety.

There are those who operate them too fast, or with-out due consideration, on pedestrian walkways. Oth-ers, apparently unaware of traffic patterns around them, have shown a propensity for operating the aids on the road, or making sudden, ill-advised dashes into crosswalks – behaviours that suggest accidents waiting to happen.

That said, mandatory licensing and regulation may be the proverbial case of fixing something that isn’t broken. After all, these aren’t simply vehicles. For many, they are a replacement for legs, a crucial ele-ment in their independence and ability to get around.

And, as far as we know, there are no plans to simi-larly regulate people using their legs on public walk-ways… yet.

This issue seems to have stemmed from a 2008 provincial coroner’s recommendation, after three seniors died in collisions on Vancouver Island.

Before making a rash decision, further study is needed – not just of those who use these mobility aids irresponsibly, but those who operate them with-out incident. Lawmakers must also ask what penal-ties would be imposed for unlicensed drivers, and what level of government would be involved in policing them. There is also the question of how exactly, we would deal with guests from other juris-dictions where such licensing is not required. Do we offer on-the-spot testing or training, perhaps offering an “L” or an “N” to visiting dignitaries?

More realistically, one could envision erratic users receiving warnings, with persistent offenders ulti-mately being banned. But if the majority of mobility-aid users are operating them responsibly, there can be few reasons for mandatory licensing – other than as a new source of cash for government.

It’s Worth It.

While the summer months are perfect for long, lazy days at Shuswap Lake, I have to admit I haven’t been able to enjoy too much vacation time. But I don’t mind being busy when it means great things are happening in our communities.

I was thrilled to see the government announce it will com-mit $3 million for the design and construc-tion of a new bridge on Highway 97A over Hummingbird Creek.

This is a much-needed improvement project for our com-munity. It means in-creased safety and protection of the high-way during high creek flows.

Design is expect-ed to be completed by next spring, with construction to follow later in 2014. As the bridge is being built, other measures will be put into place to ensure the highway continues

to be a reliable route for the movement of people and goods. That reliability is key to sustaining econom-ic growth and creating jobs across BC.

The project comes after much consulta-tion with the Swansea Point community. I want to thank all of the local residents who gave their input throughout this pro-cess. I look forward to joining you in celebra-tion when the bridge is built.

In that spirit of welcoming your ideas and working togeth-er to build a better Shuswap community, I’m pleased to let you know that my new constituency office is coming along nicely. Renovations continue, and we are close to opening up our doors to you. Stay tuned for details.

In the meantime, I encourage you to email me at Greg.K y l l o . M L A @ l e g .bc.ca until our phones

are set up.Finally, I want to re-

mind everyone to take extra caution on our roads as our students head back to school. Whether it be elemen-tary, high school, or post-secondary studies I wish all of our young people success in the school year ahead.

There is joy amid the sense of gloom.

While concern con-tinues about the state of the Adams River sock-eye run, the sockeye that return to Scotch Creek have dramati-cally exceeded expec-tations.

Fisheries officials believed the run would amount to about 1,000 fish – or 1,800 at the most. As of Saturday, Aug. 31, 18,000 sock-eye had come home to spawn.

Little Shuswap Indian Band fisheries co-ordinator Aaron Narcisse oversees op-eration of the fish fence on the creek. He says the band is grateful the run that begins in early August is so un-expectedly successful, considering the higher temperatures in the Fraser River.

The long, hot sunny days of summer may have been great for people, but not so good for many other salmon runs. Les Jantz, chief of the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO)) BC Interior area, says the Scotch Creek run is indeed

good news, particularly since the breed year in 2009 had 1,539 for the entire year,” said Jantz Friday.

As for the Adams River run, the one caus-ing DFO concern, their story won’t be com-pleted until November or December.

Some of the Adams River sockeye have changed their habits over the past few years, choosing to enter the Fraser River from the Pacific early.

“A number have entered early – they didn’t hold like they usually do for four to six weeks,” says Jantz. “probably some of those are in Shuswap lake as we speak.”

These fish will spawn at the same time as the sockeye just pep-pering to enter the river now, and prolonged periods in fresh water is hard for their bodies to handle he says.

In fresh water, the sockeye are being ex-posed to parviscapula, a parasite that causes malfunctioning of the kidneys. And the lon-ger the fish are in fresh water, the longer the parasite grows, Jantz says.

“There’s probably

some mortality this year,” he says, noting samples have been tak-en but not yet analyzed. “In a normal year, we will have some level, but when water tem-peratures are high and they come in early, the infection rate climbs.”

While it’s hard to estimate just how many there are, Jantz says there is some evi-dence that a number

of late run sockeye are holding in the Gulf of Georgia.

“We’re still seeing some decent numbers of stock in Johnstone Strait,” he said. “The good news is the later fish will be exposed to much lower water temperatures (thanks to recent rains).”

The extremely high water temperatures were hard on early

stocks, causing DFO to close salmon to fish-eries in order to get as many fish up the Fraser River and into their spawning grounds as possible.

The picture is at least looking better than it did earlier. Estimations of the late run Fraser River sockeye were in-creased Thursday from 450,000 to 500,000 salmon.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, no matter how hard you work, you just cannot seem to get ahead this week. Instead of tiring yourself unnecessarily, take a break and regroup.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, although you have many questions, the answers will not come so easily to you in the next few days. Bide your time for a revelation.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21It will be really difficult to put you in a bad mood this week, Gemini. Your energy and cheer will be a bright light to those around you, so enjoy the next few days.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, you may want to be friends with everyone, but you may have to accept that you have a few people who just do not meld with your interests. Hang out with those who do.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Exercise can do more than just keep you physically fit, Leo. It also can help boost your mood when you need a pick-me-up, which could be the case in the near future.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, each time you think the grass will be greener somewhere else, you quickly learn it is not the case. Learn to appreciate what you have, and you will be glad for having done so.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, generosity will endear you to others, but you have to be generous for the right reasons. It’s not a good idea to build friendships on false pretenses.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, avoid taking on any more projects for the time being. Although you excel in tackling things, even the best of us need a rest from time to time.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, you will have to buckle down and get some things done at work, even if you are a little under the weather. Take things nice and easy once your work is done.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, devoting time to a spouse or children is of the utmost importance this week, while other matters will have to wait. Enjoy this opportunity to spend time with your loved ones.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, a hectic schedule is compromising your ability to stay focused on the tasks at hand. You may need some help sorting some things out.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20There are enough diversions around to take your mind off of your problems, Pisces. They may not disappear, but you can address some issues later.
